It doesn't get any better than that. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:02.600 Unleash the far. Today, the NFL sent out a memo 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.240 Ron Wolfley official letterhead from the NFL where they put 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:14.080 dates on offseason events. They actually define their offseason calendar. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.319 That's all that. Yeah, the Rookie Mini Caamp, the offseason workouts, 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.759 they Randatory Mini Camp, all the above. Obviously, they forgot 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.640 to put a date out there for the original Thursday 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.319 Night Football. The Big Red Raid presented by Santan Ford 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.800 in Gilbert. We are Santan Ford and we do have 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.040 plenty to talk about. Oh, I don't know, Ron Wolfley. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.840 There's a draft class out there. There's an international player 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.200 has been allocated to the Cardinals. We have existing Cardinals 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.120 changing numbers to single digits. We had a run on 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.240 long snappers in the draft, I mean, all the wolf 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.560 So much to talk about, including an in depth conversation 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.360 coming up with the coach of the cornerbacks assistant Greg Williams, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.760 who has a couple of Day three corners who certainly 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.560 don't test like Day three quarters and or talk like 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.960 Day three cornerbacks, Greg Williams, right around the corner here 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.919 on the big Red Ring. Yeah, Paully can't wait to 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.080 actually talk to Greg Williams. But it is very, very 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.280 interesting right here we are the free agent period. Of course, 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.480 for the most part, for all intents and purposes, is over. 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.960 In the draft, now is over, and what is the 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.800 next step in the off season. It is getting some 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.240 of these rookies assimilated, of course, to the offense, to 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.560 the defense. It's getting some of these new guys assimilated 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.160 as well. And it's so interesting, Paully, because I never 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.480 thought you could get better in the off season, not 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.440 the National Football League. You gotta put the mouthguard in, 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.960 you gotta put the shoulder pads on the helmet. If 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.280 you don't have the mouthguard in, you can't get better 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.120 in the National Football League. Well, I believe that until 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.320 Steve Breston. I don't know if you remember it, Paully 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.079 two thousand and seven to two thousand and eight. The 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.639 transformation that happened in the off season does Steve Breston 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.920 was profound and that totally changed my opinion as to 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.680 whether or not you can actually get better in the 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.840 off season. Nobody, and I mean nobody in mind. Now, 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.960 what seventeen years as a Cardinal sideline reporter got yelled 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:16.200 at as a rookie more than Steve Breston by Kurt Warner. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.600 I cannot tell you how many times as a rookie, 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.560 Kurt would come to the sideline and just starts screaming Steve, 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.320 and then Steve would be hin under the gatorade table. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.000 You know, it's just but you're right. By the time 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.520 he got to year number two, he was a different player. Man. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.400 He was a heck of a player until he injured 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.440 his knee for a few Mollie, it was incredible. It 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.720 really was a transformation. Once again, I forget how many 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.640 receptions he had, Maybe it was eighteen in two thousand 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.600 and seventy at seventy seven the next year, he went 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.120 from ninety two yards receiving. This is in my head, 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.160 I kid you not. I'm not looking at anything, at 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.600 anything ninety two yards in two thousand and seven to 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.440 a thousand and six in two thousand and eight. Can 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.760 you imagine that, Paul, I mean a thousand yard receiver 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.440 when you had ninety two yards receiving the year previous. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.760 That was the year where the Cardinals had three one 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.760 thousand yard receivers, Anquan Bolt and Steve Preston and Todd 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.000 Haley almost got punched at the end of Week sixteen 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.240 because remember they ran a few plays to Steve Preston 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.400 in a game that was out of hand, and the 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.159 opposing coaching staff it might have been Seattle, I can't remember, 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.160 they did not take kindly to the Cardinals getting the 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.480 ball to Steve Preston and getting him that thousand yards 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.800 at their expense and a lotsided loss. What is the 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.159 point of all of this? These new additions, especially the 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.400 young guys. They can get better in an off season. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.400 Now we got to just execute the off season. That's good. 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.600 About fifty nine minutes from now, Wolf will not be 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.160 able to find his car keys. He won't remember where 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.960 he put his sunglasses, but he did remember the rookie 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.880 yardage from Steve Breston for two thousand and seven. We 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.600 are often running on the fig red rage presented by 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:58.760 Santan Boord and Gilbert. We are Satan for it is time. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:04.080 There's the car. A big decision forthcoming for the Big 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:11.760 Red the Arizona Cardinals, Same Big Cardinals. We're gonna gild 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.320 every day. This kid is an athletic great, a monster 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.919 in a great pick. I think the Cardinals kind of start. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.800 Rundo might be the most dynamic player in this entire draft. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.720 Rundal More, we'll get the first job and much more 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.360 this kid. After three days of the twenty twenty one 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.280 NFL draft of Cardinals, at the end of it all 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:41.080 have seven new players are Victor d and Cage again 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:47.839 Interla winked pleasure and it's seven Collins with a second 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.360 about it just a little montage their courtesy Bear Jim 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.360 Almohundro the Cardinals Draft Class two thousand and twenty one. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.760 It is the Big Red Range presented by satan Ford 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.200 and Gilbert. We are Satan Ford, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.480 And this time a week ago, going into the draft, 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.760 wolf remember you and Dave were racing to get the 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.320 name Zaven Collins out of your mouth, right, both of 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.000 you guys, We're going with him. I mean, who would 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.200 think here on May six, the Arizona Cardinals wouldn't have 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.279 an official answer from Larry Fitzgerald yet as to his future, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.840 but they do have a middle linebacker who's nearly six five, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.760 two sixty and he's coming in and the comps are 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.280 anywhere from Tremaine Edmonds to a Brian or Lacker. All 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.160 I know was on draft night with mister Pash we 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.279 were doing the coverage wolf I wrote MLBMI board and 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.279 I said, the m equals mean, give me a middle 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.280 linebacker who's mean, who can actually set the tone and 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.760 fill the gaps in that front seven and just snuff 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.719 out the run game. And this guy checks a lot 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.720 of boxes, Zavan Collins. Yeah, PAULI. Going into the draft, 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.560 there were a lot of people that thought Zaban Collins 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.960 would be somewhere in the twenties, you know, anywhere from 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.160 twenty four twenty five. I heard as high as twenty 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.240 one maybe in there, but he really seemed to climb 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.880 up some draft boards as we neared the draft, and 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.440 the Cardinals took him there obviously at number sixteen. I 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.200 love the fact he's a box player that's six five 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.000 and two hundred and sixty pounds, you know me, Paullly, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.320 I love that. You know, here's a guy that hopefully 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.440 he's going to stick his face into the fire and 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.480 he's gonna be physical. I think a stronger version of 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:28.160 Vikings linebacker Anthony bar Think of Anthony Bar right, here's 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.680 Anthony Barr six five. Anthony Barr is a guy that 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.080 weighs two hundred and forty five, two hundred and fifty 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.360 five pounds somewhere in there. And yet Anthony Barr plays 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.200 on the week side inside for the most part, and 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.960 they'll move him on the line of scrimmage and bring 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.920 him off the edge as well. I think Zaven Collins 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.800 is like Anthony Barr, except he's going to be playing 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.240 with a little bit more, but he'll be playing that 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.760 Mike linebacker, but you can still take Zaven Collins and 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.280 move him to the edge and bring him off the edge, 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.760 just like Anthony bar Paul. They asked him what's his 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.520 favorite aspect of playing defense. He said, well, other than 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.360 the takeaway, it's tackle for loss. I loved hearing that. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.040 It just it tells you about his mentality. Yeah, honestly, 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.520 And we talked Avants Joseph about this and he brought 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.120 it up on his own. The biggest need for the 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.000 Cardinals on defense, arguably other than maybe corner at this 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.120 point and trying to figure that out, was run defense. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.720 They finished in the bottom third. So if you're adding 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.720 a jj wad who led the NFL and tackles for 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.440 losses against the run, and now you get his Zaven Collins. 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.760 But in addition to that, Wolf, when I heard about 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.679 his ability to cover the running back and the tight end, 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.480 and look, Jordan Hicks has been a lot of things 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.360 for the ears on a Cardinals the last couple of years, 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.560 but he has struggled at times. It's been a mismatch 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.000 when he's had to cover the back out of the 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.360 backfield or tight ends down the seam. And if you're 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.040 telling him he Zaven Collins has the athleticism and obviously 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.920 the size to be that guy that goes a long 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.160 way for advanced Joseph and his game planning, no doubt 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:54.760 about it, BULLYE. And that was a weird thing about 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.600 Jordan Hicks as well. When he came in. He had 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.840 the reputation of being a guy that was a really 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.640 good cover mic backer and he has struggled with And 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.360 I think he'd be the first one to tell you 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.200 that I love this because I think Jordan Hicks also 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.920 is going to be if he's given the opportunity, I 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.600 think he's going to be an excellent mentor to Zaven Collins. Now, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.199 once again, I'm not saying that he's going to capitulate 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.080 the position. I'm not all right Jordan Hicks to me, 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.920 if he's given that opportunity, I think Jordan Hicks is 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.400 going to compete and it's not going to be easy. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.560 But I do see him being an excellent mentor. He's 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.200 a brilliant individual. He really is any good dude as well, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.120 and I could see him passing on a lot of 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.199 knowledge to Zavid Collins well. And whether it's Zaven Collins 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.000 or the round two pick Rondale Moore. Every chance is 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.200 going to be had for these guys to get into 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.720 that rotation early. And that's not us, that's the head coach, 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.160 Cliff Kingsbury. We knew we had to get better than 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.600 us for please with how that thing ended last year, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.880 and we wanted to improve through the draft. And Steve 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.880 made that crystal clear to the coaching staff and personnelity 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.280 depart in those first two picks. Need to play player 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.600 earl and play a lot and that was the mission. 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.920 And I feel good about where it's at. And let's 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.960 face a wolf, Rondale Moore would not be an Arizona 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.800 Cardinal if Andy Isabella had panned out in round two 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:15.200 two years earlier. Cliff Kingsbury is still searching, seemingly for 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.200 that blazer, that guy who can really run and make 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.720 people miss in space underneath and and from all accounts, 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.760 Rondale Moore is that guy. He was that guy in 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.320 twenty eighteen, a first team All America. This kid is 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:32.400 absolutely he is electric. He's small, polly something you know 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:37.479 all about being dominionative of yourself, but he's electric, just combustible. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.680 And of all the picks the Cardinals made over the weekend. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.640 This is the one that I'm most into over the draft, Paul, 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.400 this is the one that I'm most interested in seeing 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:52.679 what he's gonna do because he is a game changer. 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.440 He's a guy that can run by people. We've seen 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.120 this before, but you tell me that he can run 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.320 by lineup in the slot and run a poet stover 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.800 the top and you can throw it down the field 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.040 and beat somebody and show that once every four games 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.400 on tape. I'm telling you right now, ball home. He's 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.720 a whole puncher in coverage, and the guys that will 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.520 fill those holes will be DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Greene 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.800 and Christian Kirk. You see the tweet from Dez Bryant, 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.760 former Cowboys Pro Bowl receiver. It was five hours before 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.800 round two. He tweeted out Rondale Moore instant impact. Wherever 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:32.600 he goes, remember this tweet and tweet Dez Bryant. So 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.800 we'll see. Obviously, the Cardinals like what they picked up 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.800 in round two. In other years when they got the 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.560 likes of an Ant, Kuan Bolden, Buddha Baker at Carlos 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.280 Dansby Klis, guys like that. Let's talk about the corners 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.079 on Day three and a safety as well with the 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.880 Corners coach Correig Williams. Next, then the Big Red Rage 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:57.240 presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. With one and thirty 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.559 six pick in the twenty twenty one NFL Draft, the 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:06.920 Arizona Cardinals selected Marco Wilson, cornerback, Florida smart player too, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.640 and that's what they valued. Rundale Moore graduated for doing 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.319 two and a half years and Zavan Collins was a 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.880 high school valedictorian. Marco Wilson aptitude tests off the chart, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.680 smart player with there of course athletic of Villaina. Yeah, 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.440 he should be known for more than throwing the shoe 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.840 against La Shoe. He's a good player, trained by his 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.640 father who was a college defensive back. His brother Quincy 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:31.160 Wilson also in the NFL. Good bloodlines, good intellects. Charles Davis, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.760 Sarah preceded by Peter Schreger, NFL Network Kara Chris, Doctor 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.880 Kara Chris with the pick all part of that Day 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.360 three parade of players coming to the Arizona Cardinals and 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.040 Wolf This is just me. But if I'm a rookie 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.120 corner looking to make a team and make a name 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.720 for myself. Is there any better opportunity here in twenty 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.040 twenty one than the Arizona Cardinals and what you're looking 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.280 at on defense right now? No, you got that right, 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.720 POUI with Vans Joseph in his scheme, they play an 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.080 awful lot of man cover man, walk up over a 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.439 wide receiver and put your hands on them. And the 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.240 guy who directly coaches them up is joining us now 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.120 on the big Red range presented by Santan Ford in 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.440 Gilbert third season coaching corners for the Cardinals is twelfth 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.760 year coach in the NFL. The Corners coach Greg Williams 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.080 on board, coach, how are we doing tonight? I'm doing 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.200 good man. I appreciate you guys having me onf No, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.080 thank you, coach, We really appreciate it, heared. Just tell 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.800 us what does it take? What does it take from 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.400 a coach's perspective to be a good press man corner? 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.760 What it takes as a guy with supreme confidence really, 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.959 because as you know, man, you're out there on an island, 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.080 and you know it's it's so much exposure that you 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.880 have to be able to put place behind you, bad 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:46.960 place behind you and also put the good places behind you. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.439 So you need a guy that has supreme confidence and 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.720 the supreme belief in itself to go out there. And 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.280 then obviously the talent. I mean, you got to be 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.240 talented to play in this league anyway, So you got 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.880 to have that. That's approved requisite. You know what, It's 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.000 really interesting you bring that up right off the top, 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.079 because a couple of weeks ago here in the Big 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.440 Red Rage, we had the pleasure of talking with Frank Sanders, 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.280 a long time receiver for the years, on a Cardinal's 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.880 former round two pick, and then one of the things 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.760 he said about bringing in rookie corners we anticipated this 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.040 was that receivers in the NFL, we'll welcome young corners 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.720 to the league by trying to steal their confidence, in 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.200 the words of Frank Sanders, And well, we remember that, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.960 and then listen to Tay Gowan when he's talking to 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.040 the media, because if you want belief in yourself, listen 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.120 to him after he was picked in round six. Don't know, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.920 I've been counting out my whole life. I wanted to 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.840 show on a big platform that I could play, and 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.680 now I'm about to sold Doca Domino on the NFL 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.640 I'd be a Tom Brady o the corners. I think 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.480 I needed this. I needed this in my home, my journey, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.360 and in the way I'm gonna pros the game. So 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.160 I want to say thank you for the way. Actually, So, coach, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:51.720 is that what you were talking about, that sort of 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.840 confidence say, I'm going to be the Tom Brady of corners. Yeah, 0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:00.280 obviously he's got that confidence. But it's It's the thing 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.520 about him is once you get to know him, it's 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.000 not just what he says. He actually uh, he actually 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.360 lives at you know what I mean. Uh, even even 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.560 talking to him in the last few days, just putting 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.560 installs in and talking to him, he's he backs it 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.200 up by his work ethic. So it's not just talk. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.920 A lot of guys can talk it, but you really 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.760 have to believe it and you have to walk the walk. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.120 And so far since I've known this young man, he 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.000 has what it takes to actually walk the walk when 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.320 it when it comes to that top of confidence. Coach, 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.600 what are your thoughts on Marco Wilson and getting him 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:37.320 in the fourth prom We thought right away VJ and 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.440 myself and Marcus Robertson as we watched him, we knew 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.240 that he had, uh talent, you know he had. He 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.360 has a skill set just like some of the other 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.280 elite corners that went earlier in the draft. And Uh, 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.800 it's just a matter of getting consistent. And then we 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.720 think that he has that in him obviously the bloodline 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.800 that he has. Uh. I was with the Coats when 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.320 we drafted his brother, who I am still so I'm 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.920 still friends with to this day. And UH and respect 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.480 because he was very knowledgeable about the game. So we 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.920 know his background and the kind of work ethlete that 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.280 he's gonna bring. So we think with Marco and and 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.200 and say we think their best ball is ahead of him. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.120 I mean, if you're Marco Wilson and you walked into 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.360 Florida and you started as a true freshman at eighteen 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.240 years of age. Look at all the sec receivers who 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.200 just went in this draft, right, So if there's a 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.200 guy who could really threaten to get some early playing time, 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.040 I would think it would be a guy like Marco Wilson. Yeah, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.160 Marco's gonna come in and he's I don't I don't 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:36.800 believe he's gonna be too big for him at all. 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.600 He's obviously proven that this guy's he's and if you know, 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.520 he played a lot of a lot of good football 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.200 in high school as well, so he's he's been around it, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.240 he's played it. And then, like he said, he's started 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.960 and he played a ton of games in the SEC. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.920 So he'll be facing receivers that he saw and that 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:52.800 he saw on Saturdays. He'll be seeing some of these 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:57.080 same guys on Sunday. So it's not gonna be too 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.400 big for him. He's gonna He's got a nice, quiet 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.960 confidence about himself. And that's kind of what we looked 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.159 at when Steve was asking about these guys and the 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.960 kind of guys he wanted to be Cardinals. Uh, those 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.879 are the type of type of characteristics that he was 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.679 looking for. And I think both of those guys really, uh, 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.000 they really have that kind of characteristics about them. And Coach, 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.840 there was a lot of conversation in regard to Marco 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:23.119 Wilson about him throwing a shoe against LSA. What are 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:28.240 your thoughts on that overall? Coach, Um, I knew about 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.520 the shoe just because you know, I watched the news, 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.320 I watched Sports Center, but when we watched the coaches copy, 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.560 when I when I was evaluating his game film. U 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.800 watched the tape. He does a lot of good things 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.600 on tape. So as you watch the game and you're 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.040 watching all the plays he's making on tape, and then 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.520 the tape on the coaches copy it cuts off before 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.359 he throws the shoe. So you just watched the coaches copy, 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.000 you get all the good plays without the throwing of 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.040 the shoe. So I knew about what happened, but but 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.480 it was I was, I was already I was already 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.800 convinced by the skill set that I saw throughout the game. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.320 So you're not worried about good game. Yeah, you're not 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.560 worried about him having an emotional issue where he you know, 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.480 to me, emotion on the football field. I don't think 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.240 that's necessarily a bad thing unless it makes you do 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.440 something dumb. I mean, Wolf, you're the guy. You're the 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.840 guy through the dog biscuits and the dog bones back 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.560 at the dog pound in Cleveland when you're on the understand, Paul, 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.160 That's exactly my point. It takes one to no one 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.840 that's right. Well, I mean coach seriously, though, I mean, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.600 it really sounds like he's learned a lesson to hear 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.399 him talk about it and talk about how you have 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.520 to be in control of your emotions at all times, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:40.280 and how silly mistakes can affect not just you but 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.120 other people. I mean, if you're gonna learn that less 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.760 in college is the time to do it, I would presume, yeah, absolutely, 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.520 And and and talking to him, talking to him. I 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.640 know Steve had a chance to speak with him over zoom. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.040 So did Advanced Joseph. So did I. We did that 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.679 on a couple of separate occasions. H get to know him, 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.879 and you know that it wasn't a malicious act. It 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.359 wasn't to hurt his teammates. He's not an out of 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.520 control guy. And we did our due diligence and talking 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.919 to down there in Gainsville, and you can't find one person, 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.239 one person you know that's within that building that had 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:19.320 something negative to say about his personality. So that convinced 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.479 us right there, boy, coach, I would love to hear 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.600 you talk about your corner back room, if you would, 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.080 when you talk about Malcolm Butler and Robert Alfred. A guy, 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.639 that man, Robert Alfred, if they can just keep him healthy, 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.200 I can't wait to see him go out and ball 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.400 out here talk about your cornerback room and the veterans 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:42.359 in it. I really like how how we put it together. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:46.080 Just from a standpoint, Murphy's coming into his own right now. 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.520 You know, we expect big things from him this year. 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.480 But you guys saw Robert Alfred from a training camp 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.120 standpoint over the last two years. Unfortunately the fan base 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.879 hasn't had a chance to see it in games. But 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.840 we expecting big things from him, he told the last 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.280 two years, just from his performance and what he brings 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.000 from a tenacity level, um, you know, to to our 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.520 team into our secondary. I mean, this guy is energy 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:12.800 and a bottle, you know what I mean. If you 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:17.639 if you're ever around him, he is always on coach 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:24.600 absolutely absolutely absolutely, he's he's He's a dog in the 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.280 epitomy of the word. That's that's, that's what he is. 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.320 Because he still plays with that lte. He plays with 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.520 a chip on his shoulder. I'm a small school guy. 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.399 Regardless of where he was drafted. He still plays with 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.600 kind of that small school chip on his shoulder, and 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.040 that's what made him as successful as he's been. Can 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:40.879 you remember this guy's playing in the Super Bowl and 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.240 played pretty well, and it's one of the big questions 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.680 for you on Malcolm Butler is to try and figure out, Okay, 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.359 at age thirty one, can he really check in shadow 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.240 and travel a guy, a premier number one receiver and 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.880 handle that all by himself. Is that something he's known 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.080 for doing, or you're gonna have to change the scheme accordingly. 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.080
