Speaker 1: in the top ten A lot of these power pulls? Ye,

19
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: even vegas. Do not dismiss vegas burden the handball bush.

20
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: Back in March, the Cardinals were eighty to one shots

21
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. Yeah, last month they were

22
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: fifty to one. Right now they are twenty eight to

23
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: one after one win. What can that win do for you? Well,

24
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: in one week, it has done a lot for the

25
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: profile of the Arizona Cardinals. As we launch into this

26
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: week two edition of The Big Red Rate A by

27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert we are santan Ford, Paul Kalvic

28
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: here at Cossa LVCI Ron Wolfley's social distancing. There. There's

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: just no getting around it, is there, Polly? I mean

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: there really is not. If the Arizona Cardinals want to

31
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: be considered a good team, they have to win games

32
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: like this. They have to win this game at home, Paully,

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: against a young team with a young quarterback that has struggled, right. I.

34
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: This is a game you look at and say, the

35
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals should win this game, and you know what,

36
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: the win in San Francisco. That's exactly what Kyler Murray said.

37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: He told Buddha Baker on the sideline that this feels

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: like last year against the forty nine ers down the stretch.

39
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: The difference to Your point is, they made the plays,

40
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: they finished the game both sides of the ball, and

41
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: they got the win. Because once again, everybody, now, just

42
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: because you're close on the scoreboard does not mean you're

43
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: close to being a winning team in the NFL. You

44
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: have to win those close games, figure out a way

45
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: to turn that and at least one game into this

46
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: season that Cardinals did exactly that, Polly, That is it

47
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: right there, ding ding ding ding ding. Good teams find

48
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: ways to compete against the other good teams in the

49
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: National Football League, and more times than not, you're going

50
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: to find a way to win it. The fourth quarter.

51
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: They're going to be competitive games. Go back to last

52
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: year that two games years on. Our Cardinals played against

53
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers last year very competitive games, but

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: to your point, could not get over the top. Now

55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: this year they get over the top. They play well,

56
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: and they get over the top. And now what are

57
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: you gonna do about it? See, this is the thing

58
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: about you've got to compete against the best the league

59
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: can offer, no doubt about that. They've done that and

60
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: they've won a game. Now what do you do when

61
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: you're supposed to win a game? Man, You've got to

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: win the games you're supposed to wis Well, what was

63
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: the difference to you those two games stuck out to

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: such a degree last year Cardinals and Niners because the

65
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals hung top with the NFC champions. Was it simply

66
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: a matter of adding DeAndre Hopkins fourteen catches for a

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: buck fifty one? What was it on both sides of

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the ball? I think, Paul, I think it was Kyler Murray.

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: It was Kyler Murray in that fourth quarter and pulling

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: down the ball and running, the ability to convert in

71
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: third down situations, and his threat of running ball ninety

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: one rushing yards for Kyler Murray. I think they called

73
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: his number three times where it was actually a called

74
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: run for Kyler Murray, maybe twice. But his ability to

75
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: scramble is what changed the game. He would he would

76
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: add one hundred yards rushing if not for those kneel

77
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: downs at the end. I saw a quarterback who did

78
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: what was necessary and needed to win. Yes. I saw

79
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: what Russell Wilson has been doing to the Cardinals in

80
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: the rust the NFL for a decade. Tasted. It could

81
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: be pedestrian numbers through three quarters, doesn't matter. He's going

82
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: to turn it on and find a way in that

83
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: fourth quarter to beat you. And that's exactly what Kyler

84
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals did, just getting rolling on the big

85
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: Red Rage. We have Ezekiel Turner who had the turning

86
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: point in the game, the play that changed the game.

87
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: All presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We are Satan FOURD.

88
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is a game changer physically. You bring so

89
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: many tools to the table. It's going to be a

90
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: massive help to Kyler Murray. Wide receiver screen to the

91
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: laugh caught by Hopkins at the twenty five move the

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: chain's baby, You're gonna catch a lot of passes this year.

93
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: He throws far aside of the sideline, caught by Hopkins,

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: a first down I even catch made by Hopkins. Throws

95
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: a deep ball far sideline on target DeAndre Hopkins with

96
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: a first down catch. Swite open Hopkins caught at the

97
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: twenty farside ten five and he's hitting the one. Welcome

98
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: to the Valley. Nooke didn't take very long before he

99
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: was able to take off the stick of the red

100
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Hello my name is because man was he introduced to

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans in the Red Sea and a big way.

102
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins a career high fourteen grams for one hundred

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: and fifty one yards. It is a big red rage

104
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford

105
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: and you want big How about that for a debut?

106
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: The D and D hot standing for ding? How about

107
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: that wall? You know, first impression Bally right, I mean

108
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: you never forget that first impression. You only get the

109
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to make that first impression one. So I go

110
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: back to Kyler Murray his rookie year. One of my

111
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: biggest takeaways from his rookie year was the fact that

112
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: in his very first game, with all the narratives arounded

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Gayler Bury Bally, all the doubters that were out there,

114
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: it is very first game, he went out there and

115
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: he didn't look really good for three quarters, he did

116
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: not play well. All of a sudden down eighteen points

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: of the Detroit Lions at home, brought his team back

118
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: and actually tied that game up in the fourth quarter

119
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: down eighteen points. That to me told me something about

120
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: this kid in his very first game, and the same

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: thing that he said about DeAndre Hopkins. I think we

122
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: all expected him to be productive, but man fourteen receptions

123
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty one yards. That's getting it

124
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: done in your first game, by the way, I have

125
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: it right here. That opener a year ago, the Cardinals

126
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: trailed to start the fourth quarter or twenty four to six,

127
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,119
Speaker 1: and Kyler in fourth quarter and overtime of that debut

128
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: against the Lions went twenty to twenty nine, two thirty eight,

129
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no picks for a passer rating to one

130
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: sixteen point seven. So right, so right there. Look, you know,

131
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm a believer that there are some late bloomers sometimes,

132
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: but for the most part, guys announced their arrival and

133
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: whether they're truly going to be players and make plays

134
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You can you can figure that out

135
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. And then when you have a three time

136
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: All Pro like DeAndre Hopkins, I just I guess I

137
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: never envisioned, well, if that's sort of chemistry, I just

138
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: never figure there'd be sixteen targets and fourteen grads, which

139
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: easily could have been fifteen catches for a buck eighty

140
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: if they would have connected to that one third down

141
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: chunk throw where Kyler was going to the back shoulder

142
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: and expected you have to peel off towards the sideline.

143
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: That seemed to be a bit of a miscommunication. Yeah,

144
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: there was a miscommunication, and it was on that play

145
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: right there, PAULI. But I have to tell you the

146
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: chemistry I'm with you on this, the chemistry between DeAndre

147
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: hot Kyler Murray. It was substantial, no doubt about that.

148
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: But they really made a concerted effort to throw the

149
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: ball in a horizontal way, to throw the ball with

150
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: a little dink and dunk. And the reason being Cliff

151
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: Kingsbury told us, as PAULI, we were talking to him

152
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: and he told us this, The reason being that was

153
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: part of the game plan. They game plan that coming

154
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: out against the forty nine ers and that four man rush,

155
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: the nick boss of the world and just how incredibly

156
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: freakishly talented he is, they wanted to get them tired. Well,

157
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: one way to do that force him to turn and run.

158
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Every time you throw the ball, whether it's horizontally or

159
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: dinking it, they turned, and they're taught to run and chase.

160
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: He wanted to tire them out and then run the

161
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more in the second half. My

162
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: question is will they do that again, because a lot

163
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: of guys in that locker room were pretty convinced it worked.

164
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,359
Speaker 1: It was an effective game plan, and there was a correlation,

165
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: a cause and effect between what the Cardinals did in

166
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter. For example, on the twenty two yard

167
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: touchdown run by Kyler Murray. If you look, Fred Warner

168
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: is a trailblitzer and he didn't have a lot of

169
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: juice or a lot of want to at that middle

170
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: linebacker position throughout his arm. That wasn't gonna get it done.

171
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: Kyler was gone, barely got touched. If you look at

172
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: the analytics, he barely got touched. He had the wherewithal

173
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: to get down when he was facing trouble. But I

174
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: think everyone wonders what is possible now? And DeAndre Hopkins

175
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: he had that question thrown at him on Monday and

176
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: his answer was, and I quote, I think I can

177
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: have an amazing season in an offense like this. It's

178
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: an offense that gets its playmakers the ball, ball out

179
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: quit great scheme, and when you've got a great quarterback

180
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: like Kyler, anything is possible. End quote. De hop I

181
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: just honestly, I could not help as I was watching

182
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Dejanre Hopkins be as productive as he was. PAULI, I

183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: could not help. But think of Bill O'Brien and every

184
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: Texans fan there is out there. I mean, honestly, I

185
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: do I respect coach O'Brien. I really do as being

186
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: a good coach. I don't think he's a very good

187
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: general manager, but I do think he's a good coach.

188
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: I wonder what the Texan faithful, what they were thinking

189
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: about is DeAndre Hopkins said a career high in his

190
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: very first game. It's very first game for the Cardinals,

191
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: a career eyeball. We joked after the game with Dave

192
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Fashion the postgame, like Cardinals in the locker room right

193
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: now here in Santa Clara, they're giving out a game ball.

194
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think they should have given it

195
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien and just shipped it to him, but

196
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: they didn't. They gave it to d hop And in fact,

197
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: we go all access ec Cardinals dot com. And here's

198
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: what it sounded like. We face adversity as big as

199
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: you can face. Y'all kept going, all right, that's a

200
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: hell of a job by an. The way to win.

201
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: We built something today, all right, and we gotta keep

202
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: building each week because they come out y'all felt how stopping.

203
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: It was you'll turn out tired. We are now we

204
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: just get better and better. But it's couldn't be more

205
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: proud of the effort and guys sticking together. I want

206
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: your game ball to a new member of our team

207
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: had fourteen catches one from the moment I walked in

208
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: this building. Man, I feel something special about this team.

209
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: I know we got what it taken to give what

210
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: we won't. But it's one day to Tom's DeAndre Hopkins

211
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: on the receiving end from Cliff Kingsbury. We've seen a

212
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: lot of those game ball presentations. Courtesyasy Cardinals dot Com. Wolf,

213
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not sure I remember an acceptance speech

214
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: from anyone that was great. Yeah, Gray got up and

215
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: he actually addressed the entire locker room. That was good stuff.

216
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: It's great stuff, Polly. That Nuke is a larger than

217
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: life figure in that locker room right now. Everyone knows

218
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: how wildly talented he is. He already got a Larry Fitzgerald,

219
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: the guy that is certain for a yellow jacket, a

220
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: guy that is going to be a Hall of Famer,

221
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: And now you bring in DeAndre Hopkins, a guy that

222
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: also could be a Hall of fame wide receiver. If

223
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,239
Speaker 1: he can actually accomplish some things maybe in the postseason

224
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: that Larry Fitzgerald has. If he's given that opportunity, who

225
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: knows what we're going to see from DeAndre Hopkins. But

226
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: the amazing thing to me, Polly, after all is sudden done.

227
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,239
Speaker 1: Is just the fact that once again, his first opportunity

228
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: to go make plays, his first opportunity to be productive,

229
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: he sets a career high. That's just stunned. Ron Rivera

230
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: said this week he gets anxiety watching Kyler Murray. DeAndre

231
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: Hopkins gotta fall in there's And I asked Cliff Kingsbury

232
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: during Gameplan, his weekly TV show, if the Niners made

233
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: an adjustment on Diab. He said they did. I didn't

234
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: quite see it. So I'm curious what Washington's gonna do

235
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: this week. Maybe we'll talk to Ezekiel Turner about what

236
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: he would do trying to cover a guy like DeAndre Hopkins.

237
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: We as yes, the pivotal moment of the game, that

238
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: guy is next to the big red rage. He will

239
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: snap it from the thirty six with Snowski stands at

240
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: his twenty two yard line and the pun is blocked.

241
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: It was blocked by Ezekiel Turner recovered by Gardak who

242
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: gets up and runs at the fifteen and he's tackled

243
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: at the ten. All the Cardinals their punt return went

244
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: right through the forty nine ers protection with warm pastry.

245
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: All that is sweet baby. Right there, Zeke Turner getting

246
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: the block. That is a huge play by the Cardinals

247
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: special teams and the should turn the momentum of this game.

248
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: Who Black who block me? His own hype man right there,

249
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: Huda Baker, who was miked up before Buddha knocked out

250
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: his own microphone midway through the first half. He hit

251
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: a guy so hard that it actually killed the microphone.

252
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: So that's the sort of aggressive football the Cardinals came

253
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: out of the gates plane and Wolf. You cannot underestimate

254
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: and understate what exactly that play did to the game.

255
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: You're thinking, how, why, what enabled the Cardinals to come

256
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: back from ten? Nothing down in your mind as a

257
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: guy went to four Pro Bowls as a special team

258
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: or how large was the punt block? It doesn't get

259
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: any bigger, bully right there. That's exactly what special teams do.

260
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: For the most part. They control field position and then

261
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: they control the momentum of games so much at the time. Well,

262
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: it's all about you, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert

263
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: and by you, we mean Ezekiel Turner who joins us

264
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: now in the Big Red Rage. Zeke, good evening, and

265
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: you know who hit harder the Niners or some of

266
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: your teammates after you're coming off the field with a

267
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: pump lock. Yeah, thank you for having me. Yeah, my

268
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: head was hurting when I came to I saw you

269
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: getting mobbed over there. I mean, let's just start with

270
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: the basic question. We heard the play. Take us through

271
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: the play. Cardinals are down ten nothing, Niners are backed

272
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: up in their own territory, and then you take it

273
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: from there and after especially after watching the film, go

274
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: ahead and explain it to us. Yeah. Yeah, it was

275
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: great to get that play with my teammates, to go

276
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: out there and execute when our was called. So that

277
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: was good. Um, we knew coming into the season that

278
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: teams were gonna have We're gonna make mistakes from the

279
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: lack of offseason and all those misreps, so we just

280
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: wanted to come in and see who would make a mistake,

281
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: and we caught them making one. So Zeke, have you

282
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: ever have you ever made a play that big in

283
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: transition on special teams? Have you ever made a play

284
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: that big? No? That was? That was. That was my

285
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: first punt block of my career, so it was it

286
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: was huge. You've never blocked a punt before in your career? No?

287
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: That yeah, that was that was my first one. How

288
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: did that? What did it feel like? Man? Because I've

289
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: never blocked a punt either. Okay, I went to four

290
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls on special teams, but I can tell you

291
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: right now I've never blocked upup. What did it feel like? Yeah?

292
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: It was crazy. It just it just kind of went

293
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: silent like as it happened, everything just kind of froze

294
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: and went still. And then I was like and then

295
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure the ball was like

296
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimins so account it as a block,

297
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: and then I just just excitement as chills. Yeah, it

298
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: was great. Zeka was an X game though. That was

299
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: really interesting me. I used to play personal protector all

300
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: the time, so I was a guy making the calls

301
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: on the punt team, of course. And it was a

302
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: four by four set, and yet you guys ran an

303
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: axe up the middle. Do you care to respond on that?

304
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: A little bit. Uh yeah, well we had been running.

305
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: We had been practicing that since training camp, so we

306
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of reps on it. The guy that

307
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,119
Speaker 1: should have had me in their protection was the snapper,

308
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: but he never came back with me or I guess

309
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: he never saw me cross back, and it just and

310
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: Van Dennis led the way. He cleared out the way

311
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: from me and I just followed behind him and then block.

312
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: You know, great play. If a quarterback throws a touchdown pass,

313
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: they asked him, a big chunk play touchdown Bomby, When

314
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: did you know it was gonna hit? When did you

315
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: know you were gonna get home? Did you know before

316
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: the snap, oh boy, this has got a chance? Or

317
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: was it somewhere along the course of the play. It

318
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: was a little of both. Before going out there, we knew,

319
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we knew we just had to had to execute.

320
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: So I'm sure I knew everybody was just going to

321
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: do their job. And then we got We knew we

322
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: were going to catch them sleep, and we knew we

323
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: were gonna get the look we wanted. And then as

324
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm running the path that I was just going through

325
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: there untouched and I was like, oh boy, this is it? Then? Well,

326
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 1: how big was it? I posed that question to Wolf Our.

327
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: Jim Hunter posed that same question to Patrick Peterson, And

328
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: here's what Peach twice had to say. Yeah, that block

329
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: punt definitely Uh the night of the team, we was

330
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: a little I won't necessarily say we was flat, but

331
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: we definitely was behind that block punt definitely, uh started

332
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: it all. Zeke plays with a ton of energy. He

333
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: practiced that way, and it shows up on Sundays. You know,

334
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: he's been you know, alpha dog on special team since

335
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: he's gotten here. You know, I love the way he played.

336
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: He played his game at one speed, you know, and

337
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: that's past. You know, that's facts. As the kids like

338
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: to say. With Pat p I mean will fifth. I

339
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: reminded you his rookie year, Zeke Turner out of you

340
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: doub he led the NFL with thirteen solo tackles on

341
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: special teams and had twenty two total tackles on special

342
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: teams his rookie year. Put that in a perspective. Is

343
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: that a lot? No? That that really is? Honestly, listen, Boalie,

344
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: I could tell you right now, I went to four

345
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, I'd get three tackles a game or made

346
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: three tackles a year. Three tackles. Think about that, and

347
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: the reason being is because the good cover guys, you

348
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: get doubled, right, You get doubled so much of the time.

349
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: So talk about that, Zake. Talk a little bit about

350
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: your ability to play in transition on special teams. Do

351
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: you love it? Do you love playing in that phase

352
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, No, definitely. It's something I did

353
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: since I was in college. And then the guys you

354
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: go out there with you just kind of build that bond.

355
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: So like when you go out there, you know you're

356
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: competing against each other, you know you're trying to help

357
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: the team fill position, and yeah, it's great feeling. He's

358
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: playing with special teams. What's your favorite special team, Zeke?

359
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: What's your favorite one to play on? Um? I like PUNT.

360
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: I like PUNT, I like I like being a PP

361
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: um down like it tackle. Why do you like the PP?

362
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: The personal protector? Zeke? Why do you like it? I

363
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of gives you kind of gives

364
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: you that QB feeling, you know, to team in the

365
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: best position to you know, flip the field, put the

366
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: other team in a better in a worst spot. Than

367
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: they are. I don't know. I'm waiting for a direct snap.

368
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: Do you you know? I mean you do? Do you

369
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: have do you have skills? Can you run it? Can

370
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: you throw it? Yeah? I mean we'll have to see.

371
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: Whenever that day, maybe we'll have to see. I had

372
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: some I had some very very good special teams coaches

373
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: throughout my career, guys that poured into me not only

374
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: from a football perspective, but as a man as well.

375
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: Talk to me a little bit about Jeff Rogers. Him

376
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: the kind of coach he is. Oh, yeah, No, he's

377
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: a great coach. You know, he's gonna, he's gonna he

378
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: knows a lot about the game. He's very aware of

379
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, everything situationally, feel position wise, and

380
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: he's i mean just a great all around coach. It's

381
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: always trying to get you better. He's gonna be hard

382
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: on you. I'm gonna make sure you do do everything

383
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: the right way. And yeah, he's just very aware of

384
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: the game. And it's just it's just fun to watch

385
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: and learn from. Zeek. You say he coaches hard, he's

386
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: hard on you. I mean he ye'll let you on

387
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I mean, he wants he wants things

388
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: done a certain way. So if it's if it's not

389
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: the way he wants to look, then yeah, he'll definitely.

390
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: Do you respond well to that? Zeke, I always responded

391
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: well to a coach who coached me hard. Do you

392
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: respond well to that? Oh? Yeah, absolutely. That's that's the

393
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: only way you're gonna get better is from coaching. And

394
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: that's only I mean you you you should want to

395
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: be coached. You should want the coach to be hard

396
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: on you, so you know that your mistake that you

397
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: can improve on. I'll tell you the last few years

398
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals sideline as a sideline reporter, if you

399
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: do something wrong or mess something up, Coach Rogers will

400
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: find you're you're not gonna be able to go to

401
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: the other side of the sideline. He he will come

402
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: down and you'll make sure he conveys that message. But

403
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: once again, the Cardinals were down ten nothing. You can't

404
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: underestimate just how large that play was in the course

405
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: of getting a victory. In fact, here's Larry Fitzgerald what

406
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: I was a huge place you know for our team,

407
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it really swung the momentum, gave

408
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: a defensive boost gave the offensive boost obviously gave a

409
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: bounch of teams a boost. And you know, I think

410
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: it really was that play that kind of just you know,

411
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: swung it. Did you sense that? Did you sense okay,

412
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden not only obviously did you guys

413
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: get on the scoreboard the very next play, but did

414
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: you sense a reinvigorated sideline of sorts? Yeah, Well, after

415
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: I got done getting my head beat in, I kind

416
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: of got a sense of where the team was and

417
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: what a great position and put the team in the score,

418
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: put the offense in the score after the play. So yeah,

419
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was real big for the team.

420
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: Definitely out the team. Zeke. As you watched the film,

421
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: where do you guys need to get better in transition?

422
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: On special teams? Where do you guys need to get better?

423
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: What was the one team that maybe didn't produce the

424
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: way it should? Um? I think, I mean, I think

425
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: we always have places that we need to improve, But

426
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: I always think we just need to stay consistent, you know,

427
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. Maybe we have a good week

428
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: like we did this week, and then maybe maybe we

429
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: hopefully we don't have a bad week this week coming up,

430
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: just staying consistent in how we play weekend and we go.

431
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: The good news was, you know, after you got mobbed

432
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: by your teammates, you did not have to enter concussion

433
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: protocol because I was a little worried there for a moment,

434
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, And then the way Guardek was going bananas.

435
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 1: We'll get to Dennis Gardak. I mean, you guys are

436
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: the masters of this by oe bring your own energy,

437
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: you and Guardak. In fact, we'll hear from some of

438
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: the fellows about that when we come back. We're visiting

439
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: with Ezekiel turn here on the Big Red Rage presented

440
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: by satan Ford and Gilbert. We are Satan for Tyler

441
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: Murray under center, takes play action, rolling right, dumps it

442
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: off to the right to Edmonds, caught of the ten

443
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: of the five heading for the pylon, stuck the ball

444
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: out hit the pylon, and it's a touchdown. It's a

445
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: touchdown for Chase Edmonds, the first score of twenty twenty

446
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals coming off the punt block. Oh my goodness,

447
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they needed, that punt block. And now

448
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: you run one play and dump it out the Chase Edmonds.

449
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: A little misdirection and he stretches out, dives for the

450
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: pylon and got the pig against the Orange Baby. That

451
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: was the call Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, Passion Wolf. And

452
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: that is a question to you, Wolf that last time

453
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: we saw an Arizona Cardinal die for the pylon with

454
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: a football like that? Dare I say, because I'm going

455
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: in the hot tub time machine here two thousand and

456
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: eight postseason at Carolina and what they made into a

457
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: figurine of Larry is he got all horizontal diving for

458
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: the pylon with that football as he was going out

459
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: of bounds right, and it was shades of that a

460
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: little bit. PAULI was so extreme. What Chase Edmonds did.

461
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: He dove from like the four yard line, two hands,

462
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: guided out there and just nicked the outside of the

463
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: pylon before he hit the ground. It was just a

464
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: fantastic effort by Jays Edvards. He just continues to maximize

465
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity he gets. Every touch he gets, he does

466
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: the most with it. And if you want to know

467
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: about an offensive guy, just asked the defensive guy. And

468
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: we have the pleasure of visiting with Ezekiel Turner here

469
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: at Cardinals inside linebacker and special Team standout. You tell me, Zeke,

470
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: if you're in the open field with Chase Edmonds, what's

471
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: that feeling like as a defender. Yeah, No, Chase is

472
00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 1: a talented, talented running back. Just his ability, do you know,

473
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: have great balance, body control, just getting it out of

474
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: his cuts is scary to be with an open field. So, Zeke,

475
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: you just beat the reigning NFC champion, the forty nine ers.

476
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: You just you just got done beating these guys. You're

477
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: one to no on the season right now, How do

478
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: you feel? What are you guys talking about in that

479
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: locker room now? That that that that win feeling was amazing.

480
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: After the game, everybody was just so Yeah, it was

481
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: just a great feeling going out there again that win.

482
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: But it was week one, so we got a long

483
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: season ago, so we had to enjoy that win and

484
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: get ready for Washington football team. Are you guys as players, Zeke,

485
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: are you talking about this? Hey? Listen, guys, it's one game?

486
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: Are you talking about this in the locker room? Are

487
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: you you know? The leadership is the leadership saying guys,

488
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: we haven't done Jack. Yeah, And I feel like guys

489
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: know that already, you know, being the professionals we are.

490
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: We just know it's I mean win, I mean a

491
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: win's good, but it's a long season ago. We know

492
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: we have a lot more work to do, a lot

493
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: more to get better on. We played sloppy in a

494
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: lot of areas. So yeah, we know we got a

495
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: lot of improvement. What do you think the forty nine

496
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: ers came away thinking because they beat this Cardinals team

497
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: twice last year, they were close games, but they made

498
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: the plays to win, whereas this time around, the Cardinals

499
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: made the plays to win. For those who maybe aren't

500
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: up on the twenty twenty addition to the Cardinals, what

501
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: do you think people are finding out about this team?

502
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: They're just seeing I mean, you got to come in

503
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: practice every week, try to get better and better. You know,

504
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: like I said before, without that off season, a lot

505
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: of teams might not have got the reps they wanted

506
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: to get for you know, younger players and their team

507
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: new head coach maybe putting in the new scheme. So yeah,

508
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: just just being ready every week. You know, good team

509
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: zeke as you well know, they compete against other good

510
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: teams and sometimes you're there in the fourth quarter when

511
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: we're competing against other good teams, and sometimes you're gonna

512
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: win them and sometimes you're gonna lose them. That's just

513
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: the way that it goes because the other guy gets

514
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: paid as well. But what about a team like Washington

515
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: coming in right now? Right this is to me an

516
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: indicator as to some type of maturity that the Arizona Cardinals,

517
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: your team may be able to achieve by going out

518
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: and taking care of business against a team that right

519
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: now maybe is not as talented as the forty nine ers. Yeah,

520
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: we know they're a young team, but this is the NFL,

521
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: Like you were saying, they get paid just like we

522
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: do their professionals. So we just gotta go out there,

523
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: execute what we need to execute and hope we have

524
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: a good game. What was it like playing we're visiting

525
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: with Zeke Turner, Cardinals inside linebacker, special team stand out

526
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: of the Big Red Rage. What was it like playing

527
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: in a stadium without fans that the only trace of

528
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: a fan where the cardboard cutouts in each end zone. Yeah.

529
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: I was getting asked that question a lot um. I mean,

530
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: going into it, just thinking about it, I thought I

531
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: thought it would be weird because that's I mean, that's

532
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: the first time anyone's ever played in the game with

533
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: no fans. Um. But after it, I mean and during

534
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: the game that I mean, I kind of liked it.

535
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: It kind of grew in me. Um. Just it's just

536
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: the two teams out there and the referees basically, so

537
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: it's basically who's better, you know, no distractions with the

538
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: fans or not anybody really intruding. You know, it's just

539
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: the two teams out there, so really it's who's who's

540
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: better between us two. What did you think of Kyler

541
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: Murray and his performance in this game, Zike? Oh, yeah,

542
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: I think he played great. I mean, we we I mean,

543
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't surprise us seeing him go out there and

544
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: do well and help his team win. Um. But yeah,

545
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: I know he'll keep getting better and continue to help

546
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: his team win. And everyone talks about how his leadership

547
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: has grown from year one to year two. You see

548
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: evidence of that, and then you notice likes you. As

549
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you're on an empty stadium, you can't help

550
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: but notice how many different guys are bringing energy in

551
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: their own way. In fact, Cliff Kingsbury was asked earlier

552
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: in the week about the importance for players to fire

553
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: each other up in the absence of fans and Catherine

554
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald from AC Central then asked Chase Edmonds this question,

555
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: who on the team so far is the best at

556
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: cheering and who maybe has some room for improvement. I said, definitely,

557
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: the energy guy's probably Dennis. You'll always hear Dennis on

558
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: the sideline at some point. Zeke as well. You always

559
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: hear Zeke on the sideline at some point. Who needs

560
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: to work? Who can I get on? I would love

561
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: to get on Buddha. You know, every time Buddha's on

562
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 1: the field, he'll hear me. I'm Buddha Baker. I need

563
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: to play. I need to play. I would love to

564
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: hear Buddhas Hill on the offense a little bit, but

565
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: I know he's locked in on the defense side of things.

566
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: But so I'm gonna give Buddha in Chandler a hard

567
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: time because I'm always on the went on a few

568
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: there you go, he siedmans with his own power pull.

569
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: You know, guys who are bringing the energy? You know,

570
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: any sighted you see how about that? Yeah? No, that's funny. Yeah,

571
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like I'm pretty Cliff always harps

572
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: on us bringing our own energy, especially like this year

573
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: without the fans. So I think we do a real

574
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: good job of doing that as a team. Are you

575
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: a trash talker? Ze guy, you go out there and

576
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: look the other guy in the eye and kind of

577
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: jab them in the reds verbally, I mean, are you

578
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: a trash talker? I mean every now and then. I mean,

579
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: it's it's an emotional game. You know, both both teams

580
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: are into it. Not in anything person or anything, but

581
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody has our own way, you know,

582
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: trash talking or intimidating the other opponents. So, you know,

583
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: in my fifteen years on the sideline, there have been

584
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: a handful of times where guys have come to the

585
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,239
Speaker 1: white stripe off the bench to watch certain players make

586
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: their debut. Tyrn Matthew David Johnson is a rookie, and

587
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: then DeAndre Hopkins. I noticed a lot of guys on

588
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: the defense weren't necessarily on the bench, they were watching.

589
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: Did you sense that guys were watching d Hop Yeah? No,

590
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: I did think that everybody. Everybody's blocked into the games. Now,

591
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: you know everybody you can just focus on the game end.

592
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, d Hop Yeah, definitely a special talent to watch.

593
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: That's one of generation type talent though. I mean if

594
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: you could see alive, I mean yeah, I would be

595
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: on my feet too. Well, Clemson has put out it's

596
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: share of playmakers, there's no doubt about that. But there's

597
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: another DBU, not just Lsu Patrick Peterson. But how about

598
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: you Dup. We'll get into a little bit of that

599
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: with one of their alums as we continue, Ezekiel Turner

Speaker 1: and complete. Murphy steps in front of the receiver and

605
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: knocks them all down. The Cardinals take over on downs

Speaker 1: with thirty three seconds to go in San Francisco twenty

Speaker 1: Right before that you had Patrick Peterson with a PBu.

614
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: So let's see here guys, Ron Wolfley, Paul CALVISI here,

615
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: we're joined by Ezekiel Turner and Alama. You dub the Huskies.

616
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: So Patrick Peterson, LSU, you Byron Murphy, Buddha Baker, all

617
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: you dub. Do you guys have any spirited discussions on

618
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: the true DBU these days? Yeah? Yeah, we always We

619
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: always go back talking about a college and who produces

620
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: what um. But yeah, we get we respect each others

621
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: what each other's dB units has done in the past

622
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: and now. So yeah, it's always fun having those discussions.

623
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: So Zeke here, you're two hundred and fifteen pounds somewhere

624
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: in there. I don't know your exact way, maybe you

625
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: put a little bit more on. But do you consider

626
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: yourself a linebacker? Yes? Yes, yes, that's that's the position

627
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: my team has me yet that's where I could help

628
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: the team. So yes, that's where I am. You have

629
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: no dB in you whatsoever? Is that what you're saying.

630
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I didn't. Well that's what I

631
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: wanted to get to. So you do have a little

632
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: dB at you? Is that what you're saying? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah. No,

633
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: I feel like that that skill set, you know that,

634
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: that'll always be a part of me. But yeah, as

635
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: of now though I'm a I'm a linebacker, but yeah,

636
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: I feel like that'll always be a part of you. Though.

637
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: What's the dB always a dB? Is that it? Yeah?

638
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: If I would have told you halfway with your college

639
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: career that you would go from safety in college to

640
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: the linebacker room in the NFL, what would you have said,

641
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: h I'll probably I mean I probably would have said, Oh,

642
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: you could be right, you could be wrong, you know, Okay,

643
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: because because I've heard that before. Yeah, well, I tell

644
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: you made an impression on Cliff Kingsbury and there in

645
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: the in the month of August. I shouldn't say preseason,

646
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: but I know on the Red and White Wolf, and

647
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: I called it. And afterwards we asked him to name

648
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: some names guys that caught his eye, and you were

649
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: one of two or three names that he cited. How

650
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: did you like your camp leading into this season? Oh? Yeah, no,

651
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: it was. It was great. Um being in the same

652
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: scheme again, I think that helped me out a lot,

653
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: learning from mistakes I made last year and just having

654
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: a season of film to watch on US, So I

655
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: feel like that definitely helped me grow this year, but

656
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: I still I still have a lot to work on. Now,

657
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: can you talk to a Zeke at all about the

658
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: PAC twelve? Would you like to see the Pac twelve

659
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: play football this year? Oh? Absolutely, absolutely. I'd love to

660
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: see my teammates former coach Coach Lake head coach US

661
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: to a good se even But I mean, I'm sure

662
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: they're they're making whatever best decisions there are for everyone's health,

663
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: so we got to take that into consideration. But other

664
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: than that, yeah, I would love I would love to

665
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: see the FACT twelve play football this year. Yeah, Jimmy

666
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: Lake hasn't even coached his first game as head coach

667
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: of U yet, so okay, Yeah, you have the Washington

668
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: Huskies and then you have the Washington Football Club which

669
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: is coming in this week. And for a thought on

670
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: the defense, here's Corey Peters, one of the team captains,

671
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: and what he thought of the defensive performance in Week one.

672
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: It felt great, you know. And one thing we've talked

673
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: about is just being a new year US coming out

674
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: and trying to set an identity for this new team.

675
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: And I think we still have a long ways to go.

676
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: There were lots of mistakes today, and I think that

677
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: was to be expected. But um, it's a lot easier

678
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: to make the corrections after a win. So we'll be

679
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: hard about the tape and try to get better for

680
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: next week. You know, Vance Joseph has referred a couple

681
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: of times just the fact everybody's in the same system

682
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: for the second straight year. It's the first time for

683
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker now in his fourth season, he's had the

684
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: same system from year to year. How far has that

685
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: gone you think as a defense and how much does

686
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: it helped to play of everyone? Oh, it's huge, It's huge.

687
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: You know, you got guys returning that played with each

688
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: other last year, So having that year of growing, making

689
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: mistakes together in games together, that just helps you learn,

690
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: learn so much, and then VJ can get you know,

691
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: more creative with the scheme since more guys know it.

692
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, it definitely goes a long way. Zeke, I've

693
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: never played football in a pandemic. I have no experience

694
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: with this whatsoever. Coming into this season, with everything that

695
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: was going on and in particular COVID nineteen, of course,

696
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: were you concerned about playing ball? Oh? Absolutely, I feel

697
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: like every I mean everyone that plays the sport of

698
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: football was concerned if they would be playing this fall

699
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: since the pandemic started so early and you don't know

700
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But it's a lot of adversity.

701
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was definitely. Everyone was definitely concerned. The

702
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: road trip was different, wasn't it. One of the assistant

703
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: coaches said, it's like a sci fi movie, you know,

704
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: just with everything in place, the protocols are there, everyone

705
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: has following them. It's very strict, but it's very different,

706
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: isn't it. Oh? Yeah, absolutely, the trackers, the testing as

707
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: its desolitely different. Well, both if you hit zoom out

708
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: and Cardinal's history. Justin Bethel went to multiple Pro Bowls

709
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: as a special teamer. Yeah, Bouda Baker as a rookie,

710
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: Sean Morey two thousand, think about right, I mean, Dennis

711
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: Gardeck and alternate. What do you think Zeke Turner here

712
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: as we see a Goodbyeel Turner. I mean he's off

713
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: to a heck of a start. Absolutely, Zeke, thank you

714
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: so much for your time. God bless you, and thanks

715
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: for making plays. Keep making plays, big guy. Oh absolutely,

716
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: thank you for having me. Y'all stay safe out there,

717
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you. God bless Turner. We come back

718
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and

719
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: Gilbert right after this second and nine to twenty three

720
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: of San Francisco shotgun formation snapped to Murray in trouble,

721
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: steps up and runs to his right at the twenty,

722
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: cuts back to the left of the ten, breaks a

723
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: tackle to the five, running right for the end zone.

724
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: Tucked down Kyler Murray with a touchdown run. Arizona has

725
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: the lead in San Francisco sixteen to thirteen with ten

726
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: twenty six to go. If you're gonna go after him,

727
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: you better get him. If you get picked up like

728
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: the forty Niners were picked up, that's what you're gonna see.

729
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: Great run by Kyler Murray and it's twenty two yard

730
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: touchdown run against the Niners last year. This year obviously

731
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: the difference. It comes in a win at Captive fourteen

732
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: play ninety four yard drive, Cardinals victorious twenty four twenty

733
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: special Thanks again is Zekiel Turner for joining us on

734
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: this edition of the Big Red Rage presented by santan

735
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley and what resonates

736
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: with you the most. At this point going into Week

737
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: two against Washington, is it still Kyler? I mean, what

738
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: have you thought as subsequently you've watched some of the film. Yeah, no, Polly. Overall,

739
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: just going into this game, I think the Arizona Cardinals

740
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: are a better football team than the Washington football team.

741
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: I think they're a better team, and because of that,

742
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated. I want to see how they come

743
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: out of that locker room. I want to see how

744
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: they come out and how they compete, Polly. I want

745
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: to see them come out. I think they're a better team.

746
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: You clearly look at the Arizona Cardinals on paper, they're

747
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: a better team than the Washington football team, especially when

748
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: you consider what the Arizona Cardinals did in Week one

749
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: beating San Francisco on the road. They played well. It

750
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: wasn't just paper, it was about playing. They played well

751
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: enough to win that game. Polly. This is a game

752
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: that if you're a good team, you're gonna win. I

753
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: don't think there's any getting around that. And I know

754
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: they're taking it one game at a time, but when

755
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule as a media guy, you

756
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: can't help but notice that you have two winnable games

757
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: at home, you're going to Carolina. Okay, that's a bit

758
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: of an unknown right there. The Jets obviously are struggling.

759
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: So when you look at the back half of the schedule,

760
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: it's imperative that you continue this sort of starter your

761
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: season if you truly have aspirations to go into the postseason. Polly,

762
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: and you're absolutely ding ding ding. Listen when I say that,

763
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: though you know the way I am, I'm so old school.

764
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: When you say they're the better team, they had to

765
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: win this game, the warning, warning warning, right that, the

766
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: warning bells are sounding when I say that, there are

767
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: trap games and this could be one such game. And

768
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: that's why I look at the leaders in that locker

769
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: room and I'm going to watch him in this game.

770
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: The leaders on this team, how do they play? Do

771
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: they step up and set the tone for everybody else?

772
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 1: How similar is this game for the Cardinals offense compared

773
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: to the last game. When you look at the personnel

774
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: and this scheme employed by Ron Rivera versus Robert Satyne,

775
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, and it really is. I mean, you're talking

776
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: about a four three scheme back to back you're talking

777
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: about close the middle of the field. That's Jack del Rio,

778
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of course for Ron Rivera and Ron

779
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: Rivera both these guys four, three guys close the middle

780
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: of the field, play cover three, play quarter coverage, play

781
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of man free with a free safety

782
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field and man across the board.

783
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: This is very, very similar. Now, my question is will

784
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: Cliff go with the same game plan against this football team.

785
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: Will he go with the same game plan he used

786
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers where he's dinking it and

787
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: dunking it and throwing the ball horizontally to get people

788
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: like Nick Bosa turning and running and chasing wide receivers

789
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: in an attempt to tire them out and then go

790
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: with a little bit more run in the second half.

791
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: That was the game plan. Will Cliff do it again?

792
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, Paulie, but I expect him to take

793
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: a few more shots down the field. Air yards is

794
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: what we call it. Throwing the ball down the field.

795
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: I expect him, maybe early on, to try to establish

796
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: the fact you think we're just gonna throw it horizontally. No,

797
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: we're not just going to throw it horizontally. We're going

798
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: to take a shot down the field every now and

799
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: then as well. I think that's a message you want

800
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: to send right off the top. And will Kyler approach

801
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing again, will he have the attempts?

802
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: Will he dare to do it? And if he does,

803
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: Here's Peter Schreger about Kyler's ability to protect himself on

804
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: NFL Network. Kyler had twelve runs on Sunday Do you

805
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: be times he was actually hit tackled once, meaning he

806
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: got out of bounds where he slid and he avoided contact.

807
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: That's an art that is something that you can do

808
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: over time that is not just picked up. That means

809
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: that he has been fully trained and has been practicing

810
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: away to avoid contact, get out of bounds, get down

811
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: and try to avoid getting hit. If Kyler goes unscathed

812
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: and can still run the ball twelve times with Cliff

813
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 1: calling the shots and DeAndre Hopkinson work, team catches huge deal,

814
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: not just for Kyler Murray, but for the entire NFL

815
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: this season. It was interesting to hear Kyler explain his

816
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: mindset when running the ball. He said, yes, there's a

817
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of instinct involved. Yes, he's looking to house at

818
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: every time he's trying to figure out is there going

819
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: to be a lane, is something and to open up

820
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: where I can take this all the way. At the

821
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: same time, he admitted, you're most definitely have your head

822
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: on a swivel and you're gonna get down at the

823
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: mere prospect of getting your you know, getting cleaned in

824
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: the middle of the open field. Yeah, there's no doubt.

825
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: Will they come after Kyler Murray? That's what I want

826
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: to know. Are they gonna do that or are they

827
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: going to play? I don't know. Are they going to

828
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: spy him? I are they going to do both? Paulie,

829
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm fascinated to see how this

830
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: develops over the course of this season because right now,

831
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray the only difference between Russell Wilson and Kyler

832
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: Murray in terms of their ability to make plays with

833
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: their legs. Kyler's way faster. I mean that is he's

834
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: running a four three out there. You know, I did

835
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: Seattle Radio a couple of weeks ago, and then there

836
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: was some trash talking going on, and I'll let them

837
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: know that. Are you sure that the Cardinals don't have

838
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson model? You have the base engine. The

839
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: Cardinals have the twin turbo edition of Russell Wilson. The

840
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: guy runs the four three, So you know, you better

841
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 1: be careful as all the trash talking all the twelves

842
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: are doing up there in Seattle, because you're gonna be

843
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: looking in a mirror real soon. Except the guy in

844
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: the Cardinals uniform can actually take it the length of

845
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: the field. So now he's got to make a lot

846
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: of plays with his arm as well to catch up

847
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson. Russell has done an awful lot. I

848
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: think he's the best quarterback in the NFL. Having said that,

849
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: Tyler's on his way and the Cardinals old line is

850
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: not the Eagles old line either. Put it that way. So, yes,

851
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: the Redskins are fierce in that front. Seven. Yes, they

852
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: got eight sacks. We'll see. There's a big assignment a

853
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 1: lot to get the attention to the Cardinals offensive line.

854
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Thanks again to Ezekiel Turner
