Polly Yeah, 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.520 Little Shania Twain is a matter of fact. I mean, 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.440 there are people right now on the road listening to 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.080 the Big Red Rage ripping through Wickenberg and route to 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.119 Vegas for the weekend. Are you kidding me? Google it, Pola, 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.640 you know what I mean, Channaia Twain, google it, my 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.880 young crugs. Here's the thing. Cardinals didn't catch a show. 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:33.039 They were the show on Sunday. I mean, forget the 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.360 likes of Shania Twain or Penn and Teller or David 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.720 Copperfield or Blue Man Group. It was the Big Red 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.960 Group of fifty three and their lead magician, Kyler Murray 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.440 pulling one out of the hat. I mean that was 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.840 hashtag show stopper, was it not? Cardinals get the win 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.720 despite the fact midway through the fourth quarter of the 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.520 wind probability for the Raiders was ninety eight percent. It 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.600 is the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford. Gilbert 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.120 we are santane Ford, big, Max Williams straight ahead, Yes, 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.480 Cardinals tight end, one of the best personalities on the team. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.560 Can't wait to ask him a whole host of questions. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.640 Paul Calvc here, Ron Wolflee there you know well, Polly, Honestly, 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.959 I still can't believe what it is that actually transpired 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.520 in that stadium in the second half, in particular, especially 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.880 when you juxtapose the first half, the first half to 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.960 the second half, and just how desparate the Arizona Cardinals 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.800 looked from that first half. They came out in that 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:36.679 second half and they played in all three phases, offensively, defensively, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.200 and in transition as well. They played very, very well, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.960 the best we've seen this year for sure. How bad 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.040 was it? How good was it? Well? Here to bolster 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.120 your case, Wolf. In the first half, the Cardinals ran 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.000 nineteen plays at poultry, nineteen plays for a measly eighty 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.480 six yards. In the second half, they ran fifty nine 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.960 plays between second half and overtime for three hundred twenty 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.240 seven yards. In his Kyler said after the game, they 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.520 said what was the difference? And he's just like, you 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.000 know what, well, actually, let's hear from Kyler Murray. We 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.320 got this queued up and ready to go. Kyler Murray, 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.399 what did change in that second half? And beyond? At 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.239 some point you know enough is enough? It was just again, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.919 it's not about the toughness and how hard we play. 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.120 That's that's never in question. It's just about executing, playing faster, 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.840 getting you know, gett our tempo going. And I think 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.960 you could tell the difference first half second half. Those guys, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.160 those guys definitely got tired. They definitely got tired. They 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.400 were winded. Where you're tired, you're not gett passed rushing, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.040 you're playing his own it's you know, for for us, 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.200 that's you know, as a recipe for success. So it 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.680 was it was ended up, you know, working out think 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.120 about it. In addition to all that, on those final 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.400 two touchdown drives, and by the way, they cashed in 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.840 that last touchdown drive was zeros in the clock and 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.200 then that ridiculous laser beam of a throw where Kyler 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.160 threaded it into the back of the end zone to 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.320 aj Green. Between those two final touchdown drives there were 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.520 six do or die plays between fourth down and or 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.560 two point converts. A half dozen do or die plays 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.680 on those last two touchdown drives. Yeah, Polly, it really 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.120 was a situation where they came up big. And it 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.680 wasn't just Kyler Murray. It was so many other guys 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.760 as well. Now, Kyler Murray was right in the middle 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.280 of that maelstrom of going out and playing perfectly and 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.520 having to be perfect going down the stretch, and the 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.320 fact that they were able to orchestrate it and pull 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.359 that thing off. It truly is Polly. I mean, I 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.720 told you this after the game. I've never seen anything 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.560 like it. To be around this game for well over 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.080 three decades in a different capacity, of course, but to 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.520 be around this game as long as I have and 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:44.280 never see anything like that. I after the game, I 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.800 was talking to Dave and I was just holding my 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.960 head ball the whole time that I was talking to 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.440 Pash because I could not believe what it just transpired. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.279 You know what I saw in Kyler Murray? Thanks for 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.080 asking Wolf. You know what I saw. I saw a 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.960 comfortable and confident quarterback in his past protection. I saw 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.120 a quick Now did he get harassed and hit at 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.479 times for Max Crosby and Chandler Jones coming, Yes, But 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.440 when he snapped that ball, he wasn't worried about left 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.400 guard being a liability like it was maybe in week one. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.080 He wasn't worried about right guard being a liability like 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.400 it was most of the last year and especially against 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.400 the upcoming opponent. The Rams will get into that a 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.880 little bit. And to that point, when you hear Cliff 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.760 Kingsbury say that Kyler Murray's decision making was stellar, in 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.200 that you know, he'd hold on, he make his reads 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.080 and whether to throw it or pass it, whether the 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.880 stress of defense with his legs or not. The decision 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.679 making was there, and I think that was there because 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.640 he was comfortable in the pocket. Yeah, no, Paula, You're right, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.840 this was something that I did not expect. Listen. DJ 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.200 Humphreys did an incredible job on Chandler Jones. As we 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.479 all know right now, we love Chan we all do. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.159 We are always going to the five years that he 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.760 was wreaking havoc in the NFC. Of course, we respect 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.880 him greatly. DJ Humphries did a great job. When you 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.800 talk about a guy that went out and nullified the 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.839 talent that is Chandler Jones, that's no easy proposition whatsoever. 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.440 And DJ shut him down the dog that he is. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.840 That was great. On the other side, Max Crosby, he 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.360 impacted the game, There's no doubt he did, not only 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.040 getting to Kyler Murray of course, but also pressuring him 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.520 from time to time. By the way, I wanted to 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.520 ask Cliff Kingsbury and his weekly TV show and I 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.560 stinking forgot about it. I wanted to ask him if 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.200 he was sandbagging about what he told the media that 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.960 he had texted Chandler Jones to start the game week. 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.039 Don't hold it against me, but I'm gonna chip you 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.159 every play because that didn't happen. That did not happen. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.920 DJ Humphreys was solo against Chandler Jones most of that game, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.839 and most of the chips from my eye were reserved 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.080 for the other side and Max Crosby. Yes, yes, Paulie, 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.240 there was and if you watch it once again, that 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.919 was the key to I think the Cardinals comeback was 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.920 the fact they stayed balance on the offensive side of 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.719 the ball in that second half, Pauli. They stayed balance 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.360 and that gave Kyler Murray a little bit of comfort, 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.560 I think, and especially with the interior pocket when they 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.880 did throw the ball, he was able to actually stop up. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.240 Here's the other guy who really stood up beyond Kyler Murray. 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.239 DJ Humphreys, how about a round of applause for Byron 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.520 Murphy not only the longest fumble return for touchdown in 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.200 overtime in NFL history fifty nine yards, and by the way, 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.120 his jersey is on display in the Hall of Fame, 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.920 along with a signed football from Kyler, who also made 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.680 NFL history in that game, but Byron Murphy holding Davante 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.920 Adams to just two grabs for twelve yards. There was 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.440 a touchdown in there, but for the most part, Davante 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.680 Adams was a non factor and Vance Joseph today was 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.080 asked about the big game for Murph, his progress has 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.120 been awesome, you know. I mean even even from last 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.600 year to this year. Last year he had a hell 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.120 of a first half of a season. You know, he 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.400 got a little nicked up towards the middle. He came 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.040 back to last I thought a month and a half 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.680 and played good again for us. So I'm not surprised 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.440 that he can, you know, cover a number one receiver 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.240 in this league, you know. I mean, he's a guy 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.000 with talent him. He's been with us for I think 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.680 four years now, and that's why he was rating, you know. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.120 So he's confident. He wanted that challenge a week and 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.280 he played his butt off. I mean, how big would 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.840 that be Wolf if they actually once again had a 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.840 legit number one corner where Vance Joseph could start every 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.200 game week and say, you know what we're taking Byron Murphy. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.360 We're matching up against the other team's number one receiver check. 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.120 I mean, that is a huge luxury if you're a DC, right, Yeah, 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:43.080 Poll's absolutely, it's huge, Bud. What's amazing is I went 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.760 back and I looked at the tape and I'm trying 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.479 to think of a time that Davante Adams beat Byron Murphy, 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:52.880 you know, I mean like beat him where he was. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.160 He was wide open and should have got the ball. Um. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.360 You had to look really close and really hard to 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.400 see that when that was So you watch the film. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.880 Answer me this, because there's been some discrepancy. Did he 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.480 really travel with him the entire game or he did 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.360 the Cardinals mixed coverages. Yeah, no, Polly, they mixed up 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:17.000 coverages right there. But he did travel there. He definitely traveled. 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.600 He went when he was in Man, so much of 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.400 the time he did travel. Every time they lined Davantae 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.040 Adams up for the most part, for the most part, 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.520 there were one, maybe two exceptions, but every time they 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.800 lined him up inside in the slot and not on 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.280 the perimeter, that's typically when Byron Murphy would not travel 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.640 with him. So that was and that's where he came from. 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.760 By the way, he came from the slot over Davante 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:48.480 Adams opposite opposite the wide receiver screen to Renfro to 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.360 pick that ball up and he sprinted all the way over. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.640 You ought to see it. It's very very cool. Well, 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.000 this week we'll see. We'll see if he gets the 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.679 fourth player ever to lead the NFL in a single 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:04.000 season in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown receptions. Because that 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.680 was Cooper Cup a year ago, the Triple Crown winner. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.080 Remember when the Cardinals beat him week four he had 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.840 a season low five grabs, but when they lost him 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.920 in week fourteen, he had his season high thirteen grabs. 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.880 So he's a definite difference maker. When we come back, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.839 we'll get to Max Williams. How about the Cardinals tight end? 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.679 We got tons of questions, what was alike in that 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.280 locker room? And more Max Williams Cardinals tight end going 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.120 to join us when we come back. On the Big 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.760 Red Rage presented by Satan Ford and Gilbert, we are 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:39.800 Satan four, second and ten for the Raiders of the 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.760 Cardinal thirty nine four receivers, two right, two left car 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.280 waiting for the shotgun snap. He's got the ball, quick throw, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.839 left side, brand and brow of the catch and he 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.280 breaks one tackle and put the ball comes out, it's 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.480 close and it picked him by the Cardinals him at film, 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.760 it's picked up by Byron bird by pen the forty 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.199 pen to thirty pen to twenty pen to ten of 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:01.439 ball game. Byron bird Beet pick up the ball and 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:06.960 midfield returned to duckdown and the Cardinals with the the flax. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:14.800 What an unbelievable Finnish Harry Vegas crazy Carl is here 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:20.920 for the Arizona Cardinals. Isaiah Simmons forced to fumble and 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.480 Byron Murphy picked it up and took it to the 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.040 house to win the game in overtime twenty nine, twenty three. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.000 What a great finish, What a great call. It went viral. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:35.439 I mean, you talk about leaving Las Vegas. How about 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.240 Bird City beats Sin City. How about the longest overtime 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:44.160 fumble returned for touchdown in NFL history. By the way, 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.120 Byron Murphy's jersey goes to the Hall of Fame, and 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.800 a Kyler signed football has gone to the Hall of 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.079 Fame as well as the first quarterback as I read 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.640 this year with a passing and rushing touchdown and a 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.199 passing and rushing two point conversion. How about that? And 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:02.000 also Ron Wolfley. I haven't totally verified this yet, but 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.400 I do believe it's the first NFL game ever pitting 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.640 two Maxes against each other who both spell their first 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:13.280 name with double X, and the original Max joins us 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.480 now Max Williams here on the Big Red Rage presented 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.920 by santan Ford and Gilbert We are santan Ford. That 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.560 is accurate, right? You do claim being the original Max 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.560 double X in the NFL? Do you not? I mean, 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.000 I can't think of anyone else who was performing with 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.280 just two Xes and Max. But Max Crosby coming in 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.600 made all that noise being a superstar, so more powered 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.360 to him. He's got the two xes. I'm gonna claim it. 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.120 It's all about the name, right, So Max, I gotta 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.040 jump in here, man right away, Crazy Carl. Do you 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.280 know who crazy Carl is? Do you have you ever 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.720 heard the terminology crazy Carl? I don't think I had. Okay, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.760 this is what they used to say Max. Back when 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.240 I was playing me. My old coach used to say, 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.880 you know what we need, man, We need Crazy Carl 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.640 to show up for us, like something crazy to happen 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.240 on the field, like the ball goes off, some guy's 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.920 helmet into the year fifteen yards and your guy runs 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.400 underneath it, grabs it and takes it back for a 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.800 touchdown seventy five yards. Something crazy to happen out on 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.600 the field right there, and crazy Carl obviously showed up 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.600 for you guys. What were you thinking when you saw 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.160 Byron Murphy running down that sideline. I think it starts 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.400 with that whole series all went JT almost had the pick, 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.880 yeah fumble to play right after that that we almost recovered, 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.480 and I'm thinking in my head, I was disappoint I dang, 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.120 we had our chance. How we needed as a field 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.000 go then and I was right on the sidelines at 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.560 a front row seat. Boom ball is out and all 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.480 sudden everything kind of just froze, and all a sudden, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.320 Murf came out of nowhere. I was like, someone jump 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.480 on it. Murf also picks it up and is going 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.360 down the sidelines. Crazy moment. I mean, I still get 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.480 I still get goosebumps thinking about it watching it. It 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.439 was such a fun moment. And then that carried into 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.040 the locker room. That's gonna be one. I mean, when 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.319 you're done playing this game, that's gonna be one of 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.560 the most memorable things about the end, right, those locker 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.199 rooms celebrations after like that, I think, I think, especially 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.880 what I'll take from that looking back, reflecting obviously the 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.360 only week three, but I mean that two point conversion. 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.040 First off, Kyler running around for twenty seconds. I'm never 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:12.839 saying anything like that in my eight years so far. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.439 Then how the overtime ended. I mean, those are the 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.040 things you get in the locker room. You look at 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.679 each other and you just you just have to be 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.960 happy and have fun and celebrate because those things don't 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.880 happen every day. I mean, we'll remember what Max told 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.360 us a couple of years ago in the Big Red Rache, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.880 how he was a former running quarterback in high school. 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.960 I mean, yeah, I mean from one running quarterback to another, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.600 go ahead. Put that in perspective, the twenty one seconds 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.560 and eighty five yards cover, I'd be two winded. Perhaps 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.000 to Kyler, I would have been running around back. There's quarterback. 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.440 I would have been so gassed. I would have never 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.320 got in like him. He's specially when you watch that, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.640 and I think that's what shows I mean, it is wow. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.000 Just sometimes you just gotta say wow watching Kyler play, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.680 you know, a big guy. We're obviously you're gonna get 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.200 into the details here. We're gonna talk about the Raiders 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.760 an awful out. But before we really dive into this thing, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.520 I'd love to ask you, how are you feeling? Man? 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.640 How's the body? I feel good? Obviously after last year 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.000 with my knee injury and everything went with that, I 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.160 never knew I was gonna play football again. So it 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.960 kind of started with one of those working back in 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.960 now playing Week three, and I feel great. My knee 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.080 feels awesome, loving being back out there. I mean it 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.080 would I would have been lost without football right now, 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:19.960 I mean I love it. Still. Still only twenty eight, 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.040 so feeling great, feeling young, just getting excited to go 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.880 play the Rams this week. Where are you in terms 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.360 of being one hundred percent back from that knee? What 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.640 percentage would you give? I mean personally, I would say 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.920 my knee is gonna be what it is for everything 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.640 I did to my right knee and that injury and 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.400 everything that went wrong with it. I think where I'm 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.320 at now for how great I feel, where I can 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.480 go play football, my knee's not hurting, I would say 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.280 I'm feeling great. Yeah, I mean it was a serious 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:51.160 significant knee injury, right, Yeah, I mean it wasn't good. Well, 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.440 tired a little bit more than just an ACF. Okay. Well, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.720 all I know is I'm not sure what was shocking 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.440 more shocking in camp the fact that Wolf actually lost 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.640 significant can wait? Okay, or that you were out there 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.760 full go, full contact week two. Did you exceed your 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.240 own expectations? You know, I don't think I ever put 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.160 a time limit out there when I wanted to be back, 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.680 but I think in my own mind, I always said, 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.320 if I'm gonna do this, I want to play week one, 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.480 and I was on the pup list and it was 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.960 one of those where I've done so much rehab with 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.160 the trainers and everything else at that point in camp 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.880 it was like, look like I can't make the next 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.320 step to see if I can even play football until 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:28.880 I come off the pup list and try to play. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.720 So it's one of those Coach was comfortable with it. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.680 I was working out great, was feeling good on the field, 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.080 and they said, hey, let's take a try into it 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.280 and worked our way up to do more and more. Yeah. Max, 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.640 So okay, the Raiders game. Of course, you played the 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.320 Chiefs game. You played the Raiders game. How did you 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.560 play personally against the Raiders in your opinion, personally, I 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.320 probably wanted all my players back two of them for 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.240 two of them, which too with all getting too much. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.360 I first played the game that I was in. I 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:01.960 think it was like the fourth or fifth actual game. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.800 I wish I had that playback just based off of 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.119 my job. And then the one pass pro I have 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.320 where me and Beach got our feet tangled up and 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.399 I ended up going backwards like a great pancake. It 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:14.200 was awesome. Hey, Max on Max Crime, he won that 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.280 That man is a freak, I mean more powered to him. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.119 He's he's a special player, and it was it was 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.120 fun to play against him. I talked to Steven Anderson 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:23.560 a little bit because he went against him a lot 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.760 within Chargers said there is nobody in the NFL with 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.600 a motor that eclipses Max Crosby. I think wasn't that 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.919 first week of the season he played like ninety one 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.040 snaps or something, and you watch the film, he never 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.679 slowed down once, and then we play him. That man's 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.320 all over the field, jumping over piles, making plays, and 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.359 then I mean that's what you look forward to in 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.919 the NFL, those special type talents that come out of nowhere. 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:44.880 And I mean, what is he in his fourth year? 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.439 I think fourth and so yeah, and he was already 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.440 making It just gets you excited where the league's going 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.360 and the talent that's in this league. And it's fun 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.360 to play against those type of guys because we're competitive 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:55.879 in the NFL. We wouldn't be here if we weren't, 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.560 and you want to play against the best guys. He 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:03.600 looks like he's strong. Max was he was. I mean, 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.159 he's that whole package right now. I mean he's in 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:06.879 the prime of his career. He's a young guy, and 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.159 it just gets you excited, especially if I played for 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:10.960 the Raiders, of where his future could go and where 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.880 the ceiling off. Hey, Max Williams is our guest. It's 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.240 all about you, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. So 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:19.880 you guys were down twenty to nothing at the half, 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.840 and then I'm doing the halftime show and the coaches 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.679 come out, one coach after another and there's no players. 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.600 I don't even sighted on the air. That's a little unusual. 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.360 And and Cliffs said today, actually he was yesterday. He said, 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:32.720 you know, what he felt a lot better based on 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.120 what the leaders had to say in that locker room, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.639 and it seemed to be a turning point. Can you 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.560 sort of quantify what happened at half and do you 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.200 agree was that sort of a threshold moment? Yeah? I think. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.040 I think earlier this week I said that the leaders 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:47.520 on this team this year and this is my what 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.000 fourth year on the team, it just it just feels 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.159 different with the leaders stepping up. I mean I can 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.520 sing all guys like hump Buddha k one this year, 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.200 everyone just kind of speaking their mind of being that 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.040 leader that we need guys to be to kind of 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:02.840 come together a team. So at halftime, it was like, look, 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.080 we got together. This is this is six cores of 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.399 football that this is not us, This is not how 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.520 we practice this. Now we play it. We got to 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.639 just do our job. And it was one of those moments. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.480 And when your leaders are stepping up and calling guys 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.800 out and not really calling guys out more of what's 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.240 the good way I could put it, challenging the team. Yeah, 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.360 one play at a time, that's all it is. We're 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.600 down twenty points at half. Look, they just scored twenty 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.359 in the first half. Why can't we I can't. I 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.040 just worry about my job, you know, right right? Was 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.399 anybody yelling at halftime? No, I don't. I don't think 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.560 yelling would be the right word, because because I think 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.680 coach I think Coach Cliff says it the best is 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.200 we weren't playing well because we weren't playing our hard. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:43.720 I guess that's the way it say it. It was 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.159 more we just weren't executing, and it was looking at 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.000 the guy to your left and right, trusting them that 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.720 they're gonna do your job, and they're gonna trust you 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.840 that do yours individually and takes eleven guys out there, 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.520 eleven guys doing their job and trusting everyone around him. 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.320
