00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Strap on the boots and scrape up the knuckles.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 2: Hold ahead.

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,039
Speaker 1: He got jacked.

Speaker 2: Score touch down. Slammed the ground by Buddha Baker like

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: a torpedo. He came flying into the backfield.

00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 5: I'm one hundred percent ready.

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 4: I'm telling you I'm ready.

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: And Ron Woolfley, it.

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 1: Doesn't get any better than that.

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 4: Leash the fjord.

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 5: You know, if we're gonna rate NFL opponents based on barbecue,

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 5: here's our powerpole of NFL barbecue, and don't at me.

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 5: It goes like this. Number one KC Barbecue Wolf Okay,

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 5: number two, Tennessee Barbecue number three. I had Carolina ahead

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 5: of Texas Barbecue one. Danny Surrek protested, so I now

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 5: have them in a tie.

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: Either a way.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 5: Based on late last season, I'd say the Cardinals need

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 5: to turn the Panthers into Carolina Barbecue on Sunday. As

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 5: Rabbit said earlier today, quote we definitely owe them one

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 5: end quote, and it is the big red rage. Paul

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 5: Kelvy c here Ron Wolfley there soon to feature, by

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 5: the way, Max Melton, Cardinals starting cornerback.

32
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: Wolf Oh, it's gonna be great, Polly. But why would

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: you go barbecue when you could just go cajun?

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: Why? Paul?

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, why would you go barbecue? Just go gumbo man,

36
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: dirty rice? Forget about the whole thing.

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 5: You know, that was so last week. I mean, you know,

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 5: I went out at the Shrimp Creole. I had the jumbalaya,

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 5: you know. So, yeah, that was New Orleans. We'll get

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: into that in fact, you know what, we'll talk about

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 5: that right here, right now, will we not? Cardinals get

42
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 5: the win twenty to thirteen season opener. A lot to like,

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: but a lot to work on as well. Where would

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 5: you start, well, if what were your biggest takeaways?

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, for me, let's start at the very top.

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: The most important thing they got the w they got

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: the win. I know it wasn't maybe as impressive as

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: some people would like to see. It's the how that

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: they won this game that a lot of people were

50
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: wondering about and maybe that didn't, you know, satisfy a

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: lot of the fans in regard to how they won

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: this game. But to me, you know, Paul, especially in

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: week one in the National Football League, it is an

54
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: absolute must that you go out and you get the W,

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about playing.

56
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 4: On the road.

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: So that's where I start when I think of the

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints game. It's the fact they went on

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: the road and they got a W. And look across

60
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the league, I'd say, big thing.

61
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 5: And you know what, I'm glad you said that, because

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: you look across the league, there wasn't a lot of

63
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 5: stellar offense going on.

64
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: There wasn't say that.

65
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 5: There wasn't a lot of rhythm in a lot of

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: the offensive schemes. And you know, I talked to a

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 5: few veterans about that this week and they said, hey,

68
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 5: it's very true to go from week one to week

69
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: two and make that improvement. So did the Cardinals find

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 5: a way? Did the Cardinals leave New Orleans with a win?

71
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely they did. Now, the defense finished off the game

72
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 5: as opposed to the offense, and that was something that

73
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray did lament.

74
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 6: I was kind of frustrated after the game, but again,

75
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 6: it's not easy to win this league, and you got

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 6: to take them when you can get them. And I

77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 6: feel like everyone in that locker room felt like we

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 6: were supposed to win that game and we did. Obviously,

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 6: you know, would have been a whole lot worse if

80
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 6: we left that building with a loss, understanding that we

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 6: didn't play our best, you know, and offensively, like I said,

82
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 6: we put the defense back out there and we had

83
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: a chance to end it multiple times. So that that's

84
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 6: the frustrating part.

85
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: So as far as the offense goes, Wolf, what would

86
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: you like to see? What areas would you like to

87
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: see tick up this week? Where were you impressed last week?

88
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, for me overall, Paula, it was impressed

89
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: with the first half and how the Cardinals played in

90
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: the first half for the most part, scoring seventeen points.

91
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: Of course, to see Marvin Harrison Junior actually connect with

92
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray on a deep pass that you know how

93
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: important that is to me going forward. That was absolutely fantastic.

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: To see Marvin Harrison Junior as well score a touchdown.

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: I thought that was huge. I love that As a

96
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: matter of fact, because once again I think that is

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: going to be critical for the success of the Arizona

98
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: Cardinals overall. You know, I did want to see a

99
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: little bit more from the run defense. I wanted to

100
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: see a little bit more in regard to every time

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: they handed the ball off to a running back being

102
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: able to shut that running back, especially with the new

103
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: defensive line, the new box. Basically, I wanted to really

104
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: see them shut the New Orleans Saints down. The Saints

105
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: averaged over four yards of carry in regard to running

106
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: the football, and that's minus Spencer Ratler, Okay, because I

107
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: never count that. I every time you hand the ball

108
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: off to a running back, how many yards are you gaining?

109
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: I thought the Cardinals gave up a little too much

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: on the ground.

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: Although did you like the adjustment though they made seemingly

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 5: near halftime and then through the second half, meaning Alvin

113
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: Kamara only had seven yards rushing on six carries in

114
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: that second half. Now, Rob Ferderckson was a little surprised,

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 5: and on the Red Sea Report he said that New

116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: Orleans actually went away from the run like they did.

117
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I thought that's what they did. I

118
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: thought they were trying to get the ball out more,

119
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: of course, and get it out quicker with Spencer Ratler.

120
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: But you know, again, you gave up thirteen points overall.

121
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: That is gonna I'm gonna take that, Paul, and I'm

122
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna stick that in the positive column over and over

123
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: and over again. They gave up thirteen points. You only

124
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: had the Saints one of four in the red zone.

125
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: One of four in the red zone is not going

126
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: to get it done in the National Football League. The

127
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals themselves were two of three. You'll take that all

128
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: day long. One of four you won't. So the Cardinals

129
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: once again rose up in the red zone, did an

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: excellent job and keeping the Saints off the board for

131
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: the most part. And thirteen points again, you just can't

132
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: wipe that away. You'll take that every week. If you're

133
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: gonna give up thirteen points, you're gonna say, man, defense

134
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: played great. So again, I think a lot of it

135
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: poly has to do with how people are looking at

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: how this game appeared, and the fact that the Saints

137
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: had a chance to tie the game up or maybe

138
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: even win it had they gone for two in that situation,

139
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: and yet it didn't happen, and it didn't happen because

140
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: of Buddha Baker.

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 5: You've played and seen enough NFL football that thirteen points

142
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 5: stands out to you and should because it's the fewest

143
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 5: points allowed by a Cardinals defense and a season opener

144
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: since nineteen eighty two. Oh wow, So think about that,

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: think about the brand of ball being played. And it

146
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 5: was a shrewd game plan. I mean, we talked about

147
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: it on Monday, did we not. Kellen Moore came out

148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: and said, you know, what is that Cardinals defensive front

149
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 5: in regular season game shape? Because we're gonna go ahead,

150
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 5: and we're gonna go tempo, we're not gonna allow him

151
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: to sub and we're gonna get the ball out of

152
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: the hands of our young quarterback real quick. So you know,

153
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 5: it was a pretty smart game plan, especially in week one.

154
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if it works in week ten, but

155
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 5: as you go into week two now, whether the Cardinals

156
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 5: see it again from Bryce Younger company, we'll find out.

157
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: Here's what Jonathan Gannon said on what kind of jump

158
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 5: he hopes they can take here in week two.

159
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 7: Hopefully a big one. Hope's not a good plan, though, Huh,

160
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 7: we need to You're playing a new opponent still earlier

161
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 7: in the year. So you got all that going on,

162
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 7: but I think we need we need to take a

163
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 7: jump this week. You know, have all three phases, individuals, coaches, everybody,

164
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 7: you know, so we had to do a better job.

165
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 7: You know. The rest is kind of off. Now let's

166
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 7: keep going.

167
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 5: And look, well, Will Johnson, let's just talk about individuals.

168
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you can't dismiss what we saw out

169
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 5: of the round two rookie with three passes defense, he

170
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: had a pick negated by penalty. It wasn't just the what,

171
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 5: it was the how it was, how easy he made it.

172
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 5: Look who he was going against, Rashid Shihead is an

173
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 5: absolute burner, and he's keeping up with him and making plays.

174
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: Just give us your overall takeaway on Will Johnson.

175
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, it was just you couldn't have a

176
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: better start. Seriously, I don't think you could have a

177
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: better start for a rookie than what we saw from

178
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Will Johnson. You know, you can talk about his big

179
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: hit of course on Chris olav and that didn't suck. Buttermilk,

180
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it, you know, especially a little

181
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Michigan on Ohio State crime right there, there was nothing

182
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: wrong with that, I like seeing a corner be very,

183
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: very physical, and we know that We'll Johnson is a

184
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: big physical guy. I think the play of the game

185
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: had to be the one play that got nullified, of course,

186
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: and everyone was talking about him, and that was the pick.

187
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: The interception. If you go back and you look at

188
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: that on a go route once again, trying to take

189
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: advantage of Will Johnson in that situation, kind of tests

190
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: the young gun corner out there, and you know, they

191
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: threw the ball deep and Will Johnson what I loved

192
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: about it, go back and look at it. He wasn't

193
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: playing the receiver at all, PAULI. He was playing the

194
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: ball the whole way. And that to me for a

195
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: young guy to not be playing the man but playing

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: the ball. He was running the bow, he was running

197
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: the route better than the receiver was, and that's why

198
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I got the pick. That's very very promising to me

199
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: going forward. Now again I realized it didn't count. I

200
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: understand that I thought it was a tickie tac call

201
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: on Max Mountain away from the play. But having said that,

202
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: I think We'll Johnson showed a lot of his abilities,

203
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of his skill set by making that pick.

204
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: So I asked him about that play in the locker

205
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 5: room yesterday. Just take me through it, and he said

206
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: he didn't necessarily recognize the route immediately, but he could

207
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 5: sense the receiver going top speed and he was close

208
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 5: enough to him he could sense it that way his eyes.

209
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 5: He said he noticed Spencer Ratler was starting to load

210
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 5: up to launch, so the combination of the two told him,

211
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 5: go route. Here comes the nine route and I better

212
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 5: get on my horse, and he did.

213
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: Yep.

214
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 5: It's just those instincts though, right, and that recognition, especially

215
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 5: as a rookie, and he is definitely a head of

216
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 5: the learning curve. In fact, we're going to talk to

217
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 5: Max Melton when we come back about the cornerback position right,

218
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty four draft class and everything else involved

219
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 5: with the task this week can get some revenge against

220
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 5: Carolina Max Melton. Next on the big red.

221
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 2: Rage passes to the right side. It's low and incomplete

222
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: in the dirt intended for Olave, and Max Melton had

223
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: very good coverage. Grows on the run incomplete as Max

224
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: Melton stepped in front of a labby and almost picked

225
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: that off. Melton has done a great job and Olave

226
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: through up this game and Melton, a second year player

227
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: out of Rutgers second round pick, a play a lot

228
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: more as the season went along last year. Looks great

229
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: quick throw to the left side at the tight end,

230
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: who's up ended by Melton just short of the line

231
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: the game in the thirty two Jawan Johnson caught it.

232
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 8: That was a heck of a play by Melton right there.

233
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 8: They tried to clear out with the receiver. He breaks

234
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 8: off from the receiver and comes up and makes the

235
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 8: big tackle with monster human being that we saw a

236
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 8: pregame Jawan Johnson the tight end with the New Orleans Saints.

237
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 5: All right, cover the bomb deep, bring the boom in

238
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 5: rundee and then just cover everything in between sideline and sideline.

239
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 5: That is life as a cornerback in the NFL. Max

240
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 5: Melton is nodding. He is our guest here on the

241
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 5: Big Red Rage. Paul Calvc with you. You heard Dave passion

242
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: a Q Shipley there. You looked really good. How did

243
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 5: it feel? How'd you feel Monday morning? How'd you feel

244
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 5: after the game, your first regular season game of the year.

245
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: It felt great? You know, away game we on the

246
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 4: road and we talked about you're gonna have everybody against us,

247
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: and this is gonna be us in all white, you

248
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So it was that we brought

249
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 4: the energy, and we had so much energy that when

250
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: the game ended, I felt like I could play another game.

251
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: Like even I woke up Monday morning, I'm like, wow,

252
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: I really feel good. But like I told you before,

253
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: it's all about keeping that same routine so I can

254
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: feel the same way Week eight, Week twelve, you know

255
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: later in the season.

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 5: All right, funny you bring that up, because if you

257
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 5: go back to Week seven of last year, this Arizona

258
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 5: Cardinals defense has allowed the third fewest points in the NFL,

259
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: behind only the Eagles and the Broncos, two of the

260
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: more highly rated defenses in this league. As you know,

261
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 5: was that a turning point when you think about that?

262
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 5: Does that make sense in your mind? And what do

263
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: you like about this defense right here right now?

264
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, it definitely started to click for us, like

265
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 4: mad the year last year, and I was just thinking,

266
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: like everybody got more comfortable in the defense, everybody knew

267
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 4: it a little bit better. So it all came together

268
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: like that, and we just rolled off of that. And

269
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: even now, like we brought some more heads, and we

270
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: brought a whole D line, you know what I'm saying.

271
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: So it's looking real good man, and we feel comfortable already.

272
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, every ready to keep that ball rolling?

273
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, ROI return on investment. The team put one hundred

274
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 5: and twenty million plus into the defensive front. So what

275
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 5: do you think that does for the secondary? I mean,

276
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 5: you know, not just week one, obviously there's some more

277
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 5: tip balls out there, nearly interception that got wiped out,

278
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 5: But I mean by the time two months from now,

279
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 5: what do you think that does for this defense as

280
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 5: a whole.

281
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: We're all playing as one, and when they compliment us,

282
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: we're gonna compliment them right back. Like when we're gonna

283
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: have great coverage one play, they're gonna get a sack,

284
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: they're gonna force a bad pass, we're gonna get a interception.

285
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: Like you know what I'm saying. It's gonna go hand

286
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 4: in hand like that. So I love the movie man

287
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: and all season. Yeah, they're worth every off any of that,

288
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: like you know what I'm saying. So yeah, I like

289
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: the way it's all coming together.

290
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 5: When you say we and we're on board with Max Smellton,

291
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: you played one hundred percent of the snaps. We were

292
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 5: really intrigued also though, by the din pack when there

293
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 5: were six dv's out there. Yeah, tell us about that,

294
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: And what sort of potential does that have to really

295
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 5: confuse a quarterback When you have those four interior guys Buddha, JT,

296
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 5: Garrett Williams and Rabbit, Now you never quite know who's coming,

297
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 5: who's gone.

298
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly, And that's all Ni Galley's right there. I

299
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: ain't gonna lie to you, man, I can't even say

300
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: too much. That's all in the g raleys. So, yeah,

301
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: we're gonna throw a bunch of looks out there. We're

302
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: gonna have six DB's on the field still, rush of

303
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: pats because we have great rushers, Like, yeah, it's gonna

304
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: all come together. And I like the way he's moving

305
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: with the dying packets and even more pages when we

306
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: run yet.

307
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 5: Because if you're Carolina and you guys just played in

308
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 5: Week sixteen O last year. If you're Bryce Young and

309
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 5: you're Dave Kanalis and you're looking at the Cardinals defense,

310
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 5: I mean you're seeing a different unit.

311
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: Out there, aren't you, m h exactly, and they they

312
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: kind of did the same thing with their defense up front.

313
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: I think I don't know too much about er h yeah, yeah,

314
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 4: but yeah, it's all about reconstruction and it's coming back

315
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: stronger than next year. And you can see you're gonna

316
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: see like two whole different teams out there, almost like

317
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 4: when we play again. It's only been a little amount

318
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: of time. You know, we just played them in the

319
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: last year. You're playing them again like we too. You

320
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.

321
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: If quarterback isn't the toughest position to play in football,

322
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 5: is cornerback maybe the second toughest.

323
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? So, man, I love that question because I feel

324
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: like quarterbacks the hardest mentally, but physically, cornerback is the hardest,

325
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So quarterback has to know

326
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: literally every single inch of everything and it so you

327
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: do so as a corner, but it's way more important

328
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: to the quarterback position. But physically, as a corner that's

329
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: the hardest position.

330
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 5: And what's the toughest toughest aspect specifically or maybe the

331
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 5: toughest part of your job description as a cornerback. What

332
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 5: is the most difficult part maybe of your job or

333
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: any cornerback? Is it just being on that island and responsible,

334
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 5: you know for the deep ball.

335
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you live for that, Like, yeah, that's that's

336
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: what you want though, So I say, the the hardest

337
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: part maybe is about just staying out there like the

338
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: whole time, you know what I'm saying, Like they rotate

339
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 4: the receivers. The receiver needs one he coming out r

340
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: right there, especially if you're a star receiver, like you

341
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 4: get you know what I'm saying, d line coming out.

342
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 4: So it's really just linebackers in the corner dbs. Like

343
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 4: we're out there one hundred percent, you know what I'm saying.

344
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: So the only way we coming out we get hurt.

345
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 4: So I say, I guess that's the hardest part. But

346
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: even that, like you if you're built for it and

347
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: you trained for it in the offseason, you're not gonna feel that.

348
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 5: Like and look, if you're a cornerback, and when I'm

349
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 5: bored with Max Melton Cardinals starting corner, if you're a cornerback,

350
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: you're gonna get beat. I mean, the rules favor the

351
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: offense and the receivers. So what sort of mental toughness

352
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 5: do you need? I mean, if you don't have supreme

353
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 5: confidence in yourself, can you even be a good corner.

354
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: You definitely gotta have mental toughness. Like the game, like

355
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: you said, the game is like offensive leading to score points,

356
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 4: more viewers all that. It's like very offensive leaning. So yeah,

357
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: you're gonna have mental tough You gotta have mental toughness.

358
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: Like even past week one, I remember a love called

359
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: the out route on me, right yep, I'm like, man,

360
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: he just grabbed my face mask, he pushed all that

361
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: the same time I'm looking at the red flights. Gotta

362
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: be a flag. No flag, all right, bet count that

363
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: my But I gotta beat I gotta come back the next,

364
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: play harder, come back next, play harder. So that's why

365
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: I like, you just gotta have that, got to have

366
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: that mental toughness. Just keep on at it and you

367
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 4: can see later in the game like it was no no,

368
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 4: no lack, no fall off of my game from that

369
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: like play you know what I'm saying.

370
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 5: So is that innate? Is that God given? Have you

371
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 5: always been confident or has it been a process since

372
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 5: college to build that confidence?

373
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: So for me, I've always had it, But as doesn't

374
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: go for the same for everybody. Some people like it's trained,

375
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 4: like they're not like that, and it's trained. Some people

376
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: just have it. So yeah, mental tough news.

377
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 5: Is what was your lowest moment? If I ask you

378
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: maximum college and NFL, what was your lowest moment? I

379
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: don't know if necessarily equates to your worst game? Was

380
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 5: there necessarily a play maybe in a money moment? Does

381
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 5: something come to mind immediately?

382
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know when you play the FCS teams, I

383
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 4: got scored on by FCS team. I never forget that.

384
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 4: I never forget that. It was Wagner to wagon team

385
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: from a man like, it can't get worse.

386
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: Well, and how about playing corner for Jonathan Gannon when

387
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 5: that's his position of expertise exactly? How demanding is that.

388
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 4: Is very demanding And the type of defense we run,

389
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 4: we put a lot of faith in our corner. So

390
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 4: we like that and we like the challenge. I remember

391
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 4: in the team means like he's gonna go to YouTube,

392
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: guys because you're the most unproven. You know, you got

393
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: a rookie, you got a second year player, So like

394
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: the ball is coming to y'all and we just like smile,

395
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: like we knew it was coming to us too, So

396
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: we just bought out when the ball came our way.

397
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna ask you about going against Marvin

398
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 5: Harrison Junior both here and in college. But first, here's

399
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Junior on how Max Melton has improved.

400
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 9: I've been going against Max also since college and their

401
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 9: practice last year. I mean, he's done an unbelievable job

402
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 9: just with his technique and just stay on top of things.

403
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 9: I mean, he's a dog first and foremost.

404
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 4: He's very competitive.

405
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 9: So you know, I have full trusting those guys to

406
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 9: go out there and compete with in the best receivers league.

407
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 5: So if we ask you, where have you improved the

408
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: most since you were a second round draft pick last year?

409
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 5: What would you say?

410
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 4: What would you cite more than the zone coverages? I say, man,

411
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 4: the man is easy, you know, just lock your man up.

412
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 4: But zone coverages, you gotta know where you're at. You

413
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 4: gotta know where your help is, where other people zones is,

414
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 4: so you could maybe beat the quarterback or just help

415
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: the coverage more and stuff like that. So the more

416
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: skinmatic part of the game is where I got better.

417
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 5: Is that where Will Johnson just sort of had a

418
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 5: competitive advantage coming into the NFL because he played for

419
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 5: two NFL defensive coordinators in Michigan in Wink Martindale with

420
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 5: Jesse Mentor.

421
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I never knew that. And you could tell too,

422
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: like he came in he was rolling like and I'm

423
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: talking about in the film room in the meetings like

424
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 4: he was rolling. I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah, he's with it.

425
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: We're out there. So yeah, for sure, for sure.

426
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 5: What else is impressed to you about Will Johnson so far?

427
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 5: Especially after that Week one?

428
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 4: Physicality? I never really watched him when he was in college,

429
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: but I always heard about him, you know. But his

430
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 4: physicality he brings to the game and y'all saw he

431
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 4: lit lovey up on that screen and even just in

432
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 4: camp like his press man, people can't really get off

433
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 4: of it. He bring, like when it is screen to

434
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 4: his side and he's set in the block or getting

435
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: off a block, like he'll throw a person like. He

436
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: has very good physicality and very good covered skills. He

437
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 4: saw they tried to throw a deep on them. Look up,

438
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 4: speed up. Yeah, he has it all in his game.

439
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 5: Because we were on the air, I said, hey, that

440
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: wasn't any just any receiver he ran with that was

441
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 5: Rashid Chi. I mean he's four three.

442
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 4: He's known for that deep ball, he known for that post.

443
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: The post is the route. He's known for the go ball,

444
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 4: all level three routes, so you know, and that I say,

445
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: he was probably like top three in that in that

446
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 4: deep ball last year. So yeah, he definitely shows something

447
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: with that.

448
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 5: All right, So Maximelton, tell us about Marvin Harrison junior

449
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 5: year two in this league, because you how many times

450
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 5: you guys go against each other in college twice?

451
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: Twice? Yep?

452
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 5: Okay, So how is he different? How is he better?

453
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 5: What is the added muscle done for his game? And

454
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 5: you know, just his ability as a receiver.

455
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 4: Now, yeh, I was just about to say that. So

456
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 4: every year I win against him, he was one type

457
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: of animal. This year he's like a whole different type

458
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 4: of animal. Like when you say he put I think

459
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 4: he put like ten to fifteen on.

460
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 5: I think he said he settled at eleven eleven, okay

461
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: to twenty even yeah, yeah, yeah.

462
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: You can see it in his game like when now

463
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: when he goes to throw by or when he's running

464
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 4: the slant, he needs that inside leverage. But you're hanging inside,

465
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 4: he can literally just move you, like you know, what

466
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: I'm saying, he's way stronger now. So yeah, like and

467
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 4: he was, he was great before. It, don't get me wrong,

468
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 4: He's just a different animal now.

469
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 5: So if you're received or how does that help you?

470
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: He mentions the top routes, is it getting off the

471
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 5: press all the above?

472
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 4: I say all the above and set for the deeper

473
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: routes because I feel like side doesn't really matter with

474
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 4: like the deeper routes all speed and you can barely

475
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 4: have like not a lot of contact downfield both ways

476
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: unless the flag is gonna be thrown. But I'd say

477
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: definitely with level one routes, with like the slant maybe

478
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 4: like an inside anything like that. Man, it helps a

479
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 4: lot anything level two with how the game is like

480
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 4: offensive landing now, it definitely helped with that out, I'll

481
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: tell you that. So yeah, yeah, it definitely helps in

482
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 4: even one.

483
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 5: How amped up did you get when you played him

484
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: those two times in college? I mean, was that sort

485
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 5: of like a super Bowl type matchup for you? Did

486
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 5: you relish those big name guys?

487
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we knew what it was, and I hated the

488
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 4: big name guys like I couldn't stand it, Like I

489
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 4: couldn't stand the media with the big name because I'm

490
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: a corner, you know what I'm saying. They glorified to

491
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 4: wide receivers all the time, and I'm just like, y'all,

492
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: I can't wait to go against these guys. And Marv

493
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 4: Nose like I hated it though, like he knows that,

494
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 4: so like talk about all the time the battles in college,

495
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 4: and uh yeah, man, it was just we knew what

496
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 4: it was like, we knew we knew what it was

497
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 4: coming into the game, like, oh yeah, they got marve

498
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: like and the thing I loved in college, like our

499
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 4: DC said, Yo, go get them like man like third, third,

500
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 4: and fourth, man like, we're not really the only time

501
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 4: we went cover two is when they got in that

502
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: condensed set we called it duck in college double type.

503
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: Wide receivers will check the cover two. But other than that,

504
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 4: man cover for it and man like the whole game

505
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 4: and he let us go ball out and when I

506
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: held him to his lows. I don't know if it

507
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 4: was both seasons, but it really helped me, you know

508
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. It really helped my draft stock and

509
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: all that. And it's funny we got on the boat,

510
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: same team laughing about it now, but yeah, it definitely

511
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 4: helped me in college.

512
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 5: That's really interesting. Max Melton is our guests in the

513
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 5: Big Red Rage. One thing that every rookie receiver has

514
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 5: to deal with are the disguises in the NFL, right,

515
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 5: I mean you don't see a ton of that in

516
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 5: the college game because I mean Nick Rowss is so

517
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 5: advanced and unique and innovative exactly, and so can you

518
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 5: see sometimes when either a quarterback and or a receiver,

519
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 5: when you guys play these teams and you guys are

520
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 5: putting stuff out there, especially unscouted stuff, can you see

521
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 5: a little confusion in the offense exactly?

522
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: You'll see it. You'll kind of see in their eyes

523
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: before the snap, but we post snap after the boss

524
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 4: snapped already, you will see it, like we'll call it

525
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 4: choking the ball. Like they're just looking the round, don't

526
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 4: really know where to go. It looks like they're panicking

527
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: a little bit. We'll call it choking the ball. So yeah, well,

528
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: we've seen the Week one already, and I think we'll

529
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: see it more as the season goes.

530
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: All Right, you played Carolina Week sixteen, real quick? What

531
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 5: has to be better defensively than a year ago? Week sixteen.

532
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: Oh, we're gonna stop that run. Yeah, we're gonna stop

533
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 4: that run. I'll just leave it at.

534
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 5: That Chuba Hubbard and company. Yep, Bryce Young, Bryce Young aswils.

535
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 5: Of course, you guys go against maybe the most athletic

536
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 5: quarterback in the league along with Lamar Jackson.

537
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 4: Right exactly, exactly, all right.

538
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 5: Max, We enjoyed it. Looking forward to the rest of

539
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 5: this season, especially based on Week one against the Saints,

540
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 5: that was once again, you guys are putting out superior defense,

541
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 5: top five, top three in a lot of categories over

542
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 5: the last almost full season. Good luck this season. We

543
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 5: continue with a big red rage Paul calvic rejoined by

544
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 5: Ron Woffley.

545
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 2: Right after this, Murray takes the snap, deep drop and

546
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: takes a shot downfield, firing deep right side, caught Harrison

547
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: inside the twenty and shoved out of bounds at the

548
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: fifteen yard.

549
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: Life.

550
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 2: Just a gorgeous throw by Kyler Murray, right into the

551
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: bucket with Harrison downfield all the way to the fourteen.

552
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 8: You cannot throw a better ball than what Kyler Murray

553
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 8: just threw right there.

554
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: Snap to Murray, He's gonna throw looking left now, fires

555
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 2: left side of the end zone. Harrison caught it touchdown Cardinals,

556
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: the first touchdown of twenty twenty five and hopefully the

557
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: first of many between Murray and Marvin.

558
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 8: Great job by Kyler Murray right there, patients first option

559
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 8: not there, second option not there.

560
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 5: He falls back.

561
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 8: Doesn't panic, keeps his eyes downfield, and Marvin Harrison comes

562
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 8: free at the last second hits him for the touchdown

563
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 8: on the crossing round.

564
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 5: There you go, first touchdown of the twenty twenty five

565
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 5: regular season. How about Kyle Murray a passer rating when

566
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 5: targeting Marvin Arison Junior of one fifty five yeah, five

567
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 5: or six seventy one yards?

568
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:08,239
Speaker 4: We get it.

569
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 5: It's one game, but is it evidence of year two growth?

570
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 5: And that is something we will talk about here. It

571
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 5: is the big red rage. Paul kelbc, Ron Wolfley, Max

572
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 5: Meln heard him talk about Marvin Arison Junior, how he

573
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 5: is different in year two, how he is different from college,

574
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 5: and how much tough for a cover he is. What

575
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 5: were your general takeaways? What do you look like to you?

576
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 5: Wolf in week one at New Orleans?

577
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Paul for me once again, Kyler Murray

578
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: and Marvin Harrison Junior. That chemistry between them, especially as

579
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: it pertains to throwing the ball down the field. You

580
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: know how important I think this is to the Arizona Cardinals'

581
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: fortunes going forward. I think it is the pass apart two,

582
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: the key that unlocks all locks for the Arizona Cardinals,

583
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: not just their offense, but their entire team. It sets

584
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: off a chain reaction. We'll get into that a little

585
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: bit later. But for me again, to see Kyler Murray

586
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: be able to the hit Marvin Harrison Junior for forty

587
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: five yards on an absolute dime of a throw by

588
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, that is exactly the kind of thing you

589
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: want to put on tape for every other defensive coordinator

590
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: in the next three weeks. They want to You want

591
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: them to see that play, specifically Paul, because it opens

592
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: up so much more.

593
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 5: No doubt, we've talked about some of the likes in

594
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 5: the twenty to thirteen win. Right the way the Cardinals finished,

595
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: they gotta win, Will Johnson, that was a double thumbs up.

596
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 4: Yeah.

597
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 5: You know a lot of aspects of the defense, you

598
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 5: know that dime package. We'll get into that a little bit,

599
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 5: But the Kyler to Marvin Harrison Junior connection that ranks

600
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 5: right up there. And Kyler was asked just how he

601
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 5: thinks a year two receiver played in Week.

602
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 6: One, said it after the game, I thought he played well,

603
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 6: really well. You can feel his confidence, how comfortable he

604
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 6: was on the field home. You know there was I

605
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 6: don't think there was any negative that I can say

606
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 6: about how you played well.

607
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 5: Remember our four seeds in the offseason, we were filling time.

608
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 5: We had to come up with something, so we had

609
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 5: the four Seas. He's from Marvin Harrison Junior, not buying

610
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 5: a diamond where it's cut color of clarity, carrot.

611
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 4: Whatever.

612
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 5: The four Seas contested. I think he did a good

613
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 5: job with that. Those gains he made, muscle gains, chemistry

614
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: with Kyler Murray five of six. If only they would

615
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 5: have had the one that went over the middle of for.

616
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 4: Ninety seven yard.

617
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: Do we get it? Yes, I know the.

618
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 5: Other seas we threw in their consistency. We'll see what

619
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 5: does it look like in Week two, especially against J. C.

620
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 10: Horn.

621
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 5: We'll talk about that. And then confidence, and I do

622
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 5: think Marvin Harrison Junior is different in the confidence department.

623
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 5: Just to hear him in front of his locker the

624
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 5: last two weeks here in the regular season. I think

625
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 5: he's just he's grown up a little bit in terms

626
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 5: of he knows what to expect and he knows he

627
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 5: can win. He knows he can be productive.

628
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: He knows he can do it. And if you go

629
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: back and look at that forty five yard shot, of

630
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: course to Marvin Harrison Junior, was him doing a great

631
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: job of just running, getting buy the dB and pushing

632
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: off him and suddenly there he is. He's opened down

633
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: the field. It's using all of that strength and that

634
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: size that we've been talking about all off season in

635
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: regard to Marvin Harrison Junior and how would it pay dividends? Well,

636
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: it did on that play specifically, if you go back

637
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: and look at it, just a strong, strong, a route

638
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: from Marvin Harrison Junior and a great throw by Kyler Murray.

639
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: I also loved the play that the Cardinals ran in

640
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: regard to getting Marvin Harrison Junior the ball in the

641
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: end zone. It was cool to see the trips formation

642
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: opposite of Marvin Harrison Junior. He was the only receiver

643
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: on the right hand side, and you had the trips

644
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: formation away from it, and they ran the scissors play.

645
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: That's what they ran and that's where you have at

646
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: least two receivers come across the middle of the field

647
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: and Marvin Harrison Junior he's scraping going the other way,

648
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: and you're hoping, of course that DB's will run into

649
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: each other. And that's what gave Marvin Harrison Junior a

650
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit of room, and Kyle or saw it and

651
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: put it on him. I thought that was executed beautifully

652
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: between those two guys, because PAULI, for the most part,

653
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: that was the play. That was the design of the

654
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: play to get Marvin Harrison Junior open, especially against man

655
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: cover in the end zone.

656
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 5: He was asked if he felt like, you know, if

657
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 5: he felt like he was playing faster at New Orleans.

658
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit.

659
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 9: I see, once you get a couple of catches, I

660
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 9: get in a rhythm. I thought, ready to go, so

661
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 9: nixture of year two and getting the ball in my

662
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 9: hands lit early, obviously exposed to play and a touchdown

663
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 9: helps the Saint John's.

664
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: Now I get that.

665
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 9: I'm ready to go, all right.

666
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 5: So and look, Trey McBride got his catches, he got

667
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 5: his targets.

668
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: YEP.

669
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: Is it a big deal to you that there wasn't

670
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 5: a premiere predominant, really productive wide receiver. Two, it was

671
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 5: sort of wide receiver too by committee, if you will.

672
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really don't worry about that at all. When

673
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: you've got a Trey McBride for your tight end, I

674
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: know that you know, it sounds really good to have

675
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: a wide receiver too, somebody that can you can depend on,

676
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: and that's cool. But for the most part, man, when

677
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: you got a guy who is as productive as Trey

678
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: McBride is, I'm sorry, I'm looking at him as if

679
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: he were a receiver. You've heard me talk about this before.

680
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: But when the Cardinals go twelve personnel, that is the

681
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: conundrum that a defensive coordinator is immediately in. How are

682
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: you gonna look at Trey McBride when you go twelve

683
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: personnel with two tight ends in rundown situation? First and ten?

684
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: Are you gonna look at Trey McBride as if he's

685
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: a tight end or are you gonna look at him

686
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: as if he is a wide receiver? That's the problem.

687
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna go with a dB, Well, great, we're

688
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna block you with a tight end on

689
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: a dB. Oh no, now you're gonna go with a

690
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: line linebacker. Well that's great. Now we'll run a route

691
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: against that linebacker with Trey McBride. So it really does

692
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: bring up an awful lot of problems for opposing defenses.

693
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: And you know this offense is only going to continue

694
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: to evolve going forward.

695
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 4: By the way.

696
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 5: Well, two plays before the touchdown, Marvin Harrison Junior, it

697
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 5: was third and two at the six, and the Cardinals

698
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 5: broke the huddle and I yelled out. I felt like you.

699
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 5: I yelled out, fourteen personnel.

700
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: I just yelled it out.

701
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 5: Anybody who was listening on the opposing sideline, what did

702
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: you think of four tight ends breaking the huddle?

703
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? I thought, man, that's super super cool. There's no doubt.

704
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, the Cardinals actually ran more thirteen personnel than

705
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: they did twelve personnel. Really, Paul, Yes, Wow, Now again

706
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: when I say that, I'm talking about in first and ten. Okay,

707
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: first and ten they actually used thirteen personnel and first

708
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: and ten more than they did twelve personnel. Twelve personnel.

709
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: Of course overall that led their entire day that that

710
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: was the most snaps out of any personnel group. But

711
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: on first and ten, thirteen personnel actually had eight reps

712
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: and twelve had seven. I thought that was interesting, But

713
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: you bring up a fourteen ball.

714
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 5: So I did a little survey in the locker room today.

715
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 5: They said, no, guys, can't remember the Cardinals ever running

716
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 5: fourteen personnel before they'd run This is for your files,

717
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: well especially you. Okay, they'd run thirty what they called

718
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 5: thirteen muscle, which is three tight ends and an extra

719
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 5: offensive lineman. Yes, but they never run fourteen four true

720
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 5: tight ends.

721
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 4: Of course.

722
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 5: I don't think they ever dressed four tight ends right

723
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 5: game day. But there was Travis Vochel like all right, now,

724
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 5: speaking to the big guys up front, what did you

725
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 5: think of the run game Trey Benson? The fifty two yarder?

726
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 5: Just in general? What do you think it takes a

727
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 5: leap in weeks, especially against the Carolina team that is

728
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 5: known for giving up the run?

729
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? You know. For me again, it's all about handing

730
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: the ball off to a running back and running, running

731
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: the ball and doing it well, you know Kyler Murray.

732
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: Of course, he carried the ball seven times. I believe

733
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: only a couple of them looked as though they may

734
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: have been designed. I think everything else was a scramble.

735
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: He average what five point four yards per carry. But Paully,

736
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: you know the thing that really bothered me the New

737
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. They're not a great defensive front seven. They're not,

738
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: and I thought the Cardinals would be able to run

739
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: the ball better. I was a little disappointed. James Connor

740
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: are only getting the ball twelve times for thirty nine yards.

741
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: That's three point three yards per carry. Now I understand

742
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: Trey Benson, he got a carries for sixty nine. I

743
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: understand he popped off the fifty two yard er, of course,

744
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: But I was more disappointed in the mundane lining up

745
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: and running the ball with James Connor specifically, and not

746
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: getting the requisite push that I thought the Cardinals would

747
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: get hits game game one week one. I understand that,

748
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: but I think that area has got to get better

749
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: going forward, and this week coming up against the Carolina

750
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: Panthers is a perfect week to.

751
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 5: Do it, no doubt. I mean, the Carolina run defense

752
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 5: is bad. A year ago that defense was dead last

753
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 5: in total D, scoring D rushing D. They gave up

754
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 5: over two hundred yards rushing eight times a year ago.

755
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 5: Cardinals did it to him in Week sixteen. Thing is

756
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 5: they let the Carolina Panthers run for two forty three

757
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 5: in what was an overtime loss. So I bet that

758
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 5: is something I'm guessing the Cardinals are looking at and saying,

759
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 5: even though they have Derek Brown back in the trenches,

760
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 5: their top former top ten pick overall, and he's a dude,

761
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 5: there's gotta be opportunity this week.

762
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: Gotta be Hopefully they're gonna do that.

763
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,080

00:34:54,800 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 5: On the big red Rage.

772
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: Baker to punt from his forty yard life Peterson back

773
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: at the ten to receive seven and a half to

774

Speaker 2: go in the fourth, tied to twenty one. Baker's got

775
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: it and the kick is high angle, tore the far side.

776
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,520

777
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: right fifteen twenty twenty five thirty rookie thirty five forty.

778
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: Big field good by Patrick Peterson ten fiveyis he's us down?

779
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 4: Find the hell?

780
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson found the seam, broke it into the open field.

781
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson out.

782
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 4: Of LSU to the house.

783
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 5: Fourteen years ago today, September eleven, twenty eleven.

784
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 4: That was a call.

785
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 5: Ron Wolfley, Dave Pash, Patrick Peterson, the rookie who would

786
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 5: go on to tie an NFL record for most pun

787
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 5: returns in a single season with four man was the dynamic.

788
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 5: And that was game number one and what will be

789
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: a Hall of Fame career. And on special teams you

790
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 5: heard it. And then as a corner, I don't think

791
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 5: he ever faced a receiver who was any more angry

792
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 5: than Steve Smith that day. You're talking about a rookie

793
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 5: in doctrination. Oh my goodness, Steve Smith against Patrick Peterson.

794
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: That was welcome to the NFL.

795
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: That was fully Oh my goodness, Steve Smith, one of

796
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: the most physical wide receivers in the history at the NFL.

797
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt. So that went eighty nine yards for

798
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 5: a touchdown. Kudos Georg Jim Olmhunter for going into the

799
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 5: archives for that one. So you have Carolina to come

800
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 5: in to town once again. There is payback on the

801
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 5: Cardinals game plan after they went to Carolina a year

802
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 5: ago in Week sixteen, still very much in the playoff

803
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 5: race and they got eliminated with an overtime loss. Where

804
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 5: it started slow, I mean it started really slow. Carolina

805
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 5: came out and scored touchdowns on their first three drives.

806
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 5: He had a Cardinals defense that had zero takeaways, gave

807
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 5: up two forty three rushing nearly seven yards carry. So

808
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 5: that's exactly what Jonathan Gannon talked about. In fact, here's

809
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 5: Nick Rowls. Let's hear from the Cardinals defensive coordinator on

810
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 5: that Carolina.

811
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 10: Oh, they have a really good O line and I

812
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 10: think chu Albert gets a lot of dirty yards. He's

813
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 10: a good running back, and so you know, we can't

814
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 10: let them get going on the ground. And then to me,

815
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 10: Bryce Young when he's on, he's on, I think a

816
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 10: lot of him because he can make things happen with

817
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 10: his arm, and he if it's not there, he knows

818
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 10: how to extend and make plays with his legs. He

819
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 10: did that last week, he did that last year against US.

820
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 10: So and they got some new weapons for him. So

821
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 10: you know, I know last week wasn't what they wanted

822
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 10: to open with. But this is a good offense and

823
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 10: they're going to bring it, I know it. So we

824
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 10: got to work cut off for us.

825
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, top ten receiver Ted McMillan is going to be

826
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 5: out there out of the u of A. And then

827
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 5: Wolf I know your regard JG. The same for their

828
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 5: starting right guard, one of the best in the business,

829
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 5: Robert Hunt.

830
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, Robert Hunt, no doubt about it. He's very, very

831
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: physical at the point of attack as well. I think

832
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: his hands are incredible. His technique is very very good

833
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: and solid. Of course, you know, I think the offensive

834
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: line for the most part is average for the Carolina Panthers.

835
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: I think they're right in the middle of the league.

836
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: I know they are right now after one week. When

837
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: you look at him fourteen, number fourteen in rushing yards

838
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: per game and number thirteen in rushing yards per play.

839
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: I expect them to be almost right there for the

840
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: entire season. It's interesting it's only after one week, but

841
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: that's where they sit right now. I think they need

842
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: to do a better job of protecting Bryce Young, but

843
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: I will say that Bryce Young as well. A lot

844
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: of that is on him Pauli going through his reads

845
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: quickly and getting the ball out. That is something you

846
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 1: could look back against the Nordland Saints Pauli and Spencer

847
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: ratlery and he did a great job of getting the

848
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: ball out quickly from the pocket. And that was one

849
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: of the reasons why I think the Arizona Cardinals fore

850
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: man rush was oftentimes moot for the most part because

851
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: he got the ball out so quick. I think that's

852
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: the one thing Bryce Young has got to learn and

853
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: do as well.

854
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,959
Speaker 5: And you know what, that's what JG told us after

855
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 5: the game. He said they did a really good job

856
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 5: of nodding, not letting us rush the passer, meaning the

857
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 5: ball was gone before you feasibly could get in the backfield,

858
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 5: and they pulled the old Sean McVay with a young

859
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 5: Jared Goff. They would get on the ball and then

860
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 5: Kellen Moore would talk in the headset in the helmet

861
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 5: of young Spencer Rattler what they're in and they pretty

862
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 5: much tell him his first read and then the ball

863
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 5: was gone and they'd stay on the ball and you

864
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 5: couldn't sub So I'm curious if you get some of

865
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 5: that from Dave Canalis and Bryce Young this week. I

866
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: mean to me, the key is you got to make

867
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 5: sure Bryce Young doesn't look like late last season because

868
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 5: in the last three games he had ten touchdowns, no turnovers. Yeah,

869
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 5: versus last week when he had three turnovers, two picks,

870
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 5: he had a lost fumble. They just weren't very efficient,

871
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 5: you know. Chewba Hubbard never really got into gear. He

872
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 5: had sixteen for fifty seven against Jacksonville. He had a

873
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 5: twenty seven yard touchdown catch. But I know this my

874
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 5: and we were both at that game a year ago.

875
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 5: It was Bryce Young with his legs, Yeah, really hurt

876
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 5: the Cardinals defense.

877
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. He's very, very mobile and a very smart runner,

878
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: knows when to do it. I think one of the strengths,

879
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: as I recall from last year BALI with Bryce Young,

880
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: is the fact I thought his decision making was typically

881
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: really really good. Doesn't mean it was always successful, doesn't

882
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: mean he always made the right decision, just for the

883
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: most part. I remember his decision making when to pull

884
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: the ball down and run and when not to I

885
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: thought was really really good. I think it's going to

886
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: be one of the more interesting parts of this game

887
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: as well, Nick rawlis what are you going to do,

888
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: Nick Rowlis? Are you going to take a very conservative

889
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: approach to rushing Bryce Young kind of like you did

890
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: in regard to Spencer Raller. Are you going to go

891
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: ahead and actually take this conservative approach, a four man rush,

892
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: drop seven and hope that this young quarterback that is

893
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: developing will throw you the ball. I think we might

894
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: see that again interesting this week.

895
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,959
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, now, defensively, Carolina has nothing to write

896
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 5: home about. A year ago, they allowed a team record

897
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 5: in an NFL high five hundred and thirty four points.

898
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 5: They fired two defensive assistant coaches, committed nearly one hundred

899
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 5: and fifty million to a bunch of key free agents.

900
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 5: They have Derek Brown Back, former top ten pick defensive lineman.

901
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 5: They paid j. C. Horn, a big time corner who

902
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 5: spent a lot of time covering Trey McBride last year,

903
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 5: especially in the red zone. We'll see about Sunday. But

904
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 5: here's Jonathan Agannon and facing that Carolina defense.

905
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 7: They got some new guys over there, obviously a premier

906
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 7: corner who I have a high opinion of, a premier

907
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 7: defensive tackle who did not play versus last year. He's

908
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 7: back train wreck in the game. They got some rushers.

909
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 7: They signed the kid from LA that's he's running the

910
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 7: show in the middle. There is a really good player.

911
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 7: They signed a safety that's a good player from Vegas,

912
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 7: and they've got a good scheme.

913
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 5: Here's the thing, Travis Etna Jacksonville had one hundred and

914
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 5: forty three yards rushing, including a seventy one yard explosive,

915
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 5: and the stats say wolf that Jacksonville generated over one

916
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 5: hundred yards rushing on nine carries on inside rush attempts.

917
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 5: So maybe between the tackles is where the Cardinals focus

918
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 5: this week in particular.

919
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paully, this is something once again, the Carolina Panthers

920
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: were dead last in the league last year and rushing

921
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: yards per game allowed. So here they are number thirty

922
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: in terms of rushing yards per game after one week

923
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: and number twenty nine in terms of rushing yards per play. Now,

924
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: once again, it's week one. That's all we have before

925
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: us is one week that we can look at. But

926
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: when you're thirty and twenty nine, that's very close. Okay,

927
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: That to me tells tells me that you're having a

928
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: hard time stopping the run. In the Carolina Panthers. They

929
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: had a hard time stopping the run last year. It's

930
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I expect the Cardinals to

931
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: come out and really be intentional, especially in that first quarter,

932
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: coming out intention about running the football, doing it out

933
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: of their power personnel packages and just saying, if the

934
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers can hold up.

935
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jacksonville ran for an even two hundred yards and

936
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 5: tackling was an issue for Carolina last week. Just yes,

937
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 5: just a lot of fundamentals. You know, they were sort

938
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 5: of a mess and offense as well. But they have

939
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 5: Ted McMillan, that a rookie receiver. John and again has

940
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 5: said Cardinals really liked him coming out of U of A.

941
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 5: So whether it's Max Melton our guest tonight, or Will

942
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 5: Johnson who actually worked out with Ted McMillan leading up

943
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 5: to the drafts, so they're really tight. I mean, well,

944
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 5: if that's going to be a big time matchup in

945
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 5: this game, is it not?

946
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, Paully, I just wonder it's Nick Rowli's

947
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and have Will Johnson travel with

948
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: tedrowand McMillan. Is this going to be a possibility? Could

949
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: you just travel. I would be shocked if that were

950
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: the case, but it could be.

951
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 5: To me, A big question is, okay, Will Johnson played

952
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 5: what like two thirds of the snaps, but when he

953
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 5: was in there, he was so dynamic. Well, what do

954
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 5: you do now to get the second round rookie? Is

955
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 5: he a mainstay in this secondary starting this week? Was

956
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 5: he that good?

957
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: Well, Paul, I think so. To answer your question, yes,

958
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: and not only that, Tut McMillan, as you were saying,

959
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: this is a guy that's got some height, this is

960
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: a big guy. Well, guess what. Will Johnson has a

961
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: little size to him as well. It's one of the

962
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 1: reasons why he was thought to be a first round pick.

963
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: So athletic, so explosive, and yet he was over two

964
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: hundred pounds. So I think that might be a matchup.

965
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 5: I just think with that dime package, with those four

966
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 5: safeties essentially out there, Buddha Jat Rabbit and Garrett Williams

967
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 5: and then those two outside corners, I just think that's

968
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 5: going to be a signature aspect of this defense as

969
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 5: the season wears on. We'll see, We'll see how it

970
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,600
