Speaker 1: metaphysical philosophical here on a Thursday Night, the original Thursday

15
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Night Football, The Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are santan Ford but Ron Wolfley. The

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: question is when is bad good? And the answer I'll

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: save you is when number ninety nine is in a

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: bad mood that hopefully is bad for the La Rams,

20
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: which is good for the Arizona Cardinals, And I'm not

21
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: talking about the other ninety nine who's going to be

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: on that field on Sunday. In fact, that might be

23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: part of the reason why ninety nine and Red was

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: in a bit of a bad mood today with the

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: media a little surly little bit, and hopefully that's tracking

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: and trending well for Dame Day. Yeah. I was wondering

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: about who you were talking about when you were talking

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: about that ninety nine Paul JJ Watt of course, or

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald lookout abandon all hope he who went her here?

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: In fact, you know what, here's an impromptu edition right

31
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: off the top of one of my favorite segments here

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: in the Big Red Rage featuring aj Green tonight. By

33
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: the way, okay, TikTok, we call this let me tell

34
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: you about football. Really. The year was two thousand and five.

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley. Do you remember a guy by the name

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: of Bertrand Barry. I do, as a matter of fact, Paul, Yeah,

37
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I consider him to be a good friend. Yes, you

38
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: sat next to him on this show for five plus years.

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: He's all right, let's remember the B train coming off

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: his Pro Bowl season, fourteen and a half sacks season

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: opener two thousand and five into New York, New York

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: to play the Giants, and there was B Train with

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: a sack and he comes through the sideline, and of

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: course there's the mouthy Giants fans and they're yelling at

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals bench and B Train start tugging at his

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: jersey and pointing at his number and saying, this is

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: the real ninety two. Because who was the premier passed

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: rusher in the game? Now a Hall of Famer and

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: doing a little bit of Network Morning TV these days,

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: who played for the Giants at that time? Who was

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: that ball? Michael Strahan and so Ba Train wanted to

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: be known in the Big Apple that, you know what,

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: he was the big deal, that he was the real

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: ninety two. So maybe, just maybe Cardinals might get a

55
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: career game in red from JJ Watt. I know it's

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: a long way to go on that, but I just

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: thought i'd share that with you. Yeah, thank you, Paul.

58
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: We appreciate that. Honestly, I can tell you right now

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: this is a huge game. Is a non poly this

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: is you can feel the weight of this game right now.

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: Would just say the Arizona Cardinals have received an awful

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: lot of hype over the last three weeks. Right, a

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: lot of people talking about the Arizona Cardinals. The only

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: team getting more hype maybe would be the Rams. Yeah

65
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: you win it, Paul, I mean it took the words

66
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: right out of my mouth. That's exactly where I'm going

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: on that one. I mean, if the Arizona Cardinals somehow,

68
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: some way can actually beat the Rams at Sofi Stadium

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: in La on Sunday, Maybe not La, it's actually Englewood

70
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: is a non poly. I can tell you that they're

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna be the super Bowl favorite. Many people will consider

72
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals would be the super Bowl favorite. A

73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: weighty game, Baul. Yeah, after the Rams beat the Super

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: Bowl champions, the tam Bay Buccaneers, And I know the

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: respect you have for Todd Bowles defense, and yeah, that

76
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: secondary was depleted, but they scored on six straight possessions

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: and so they throttled Tampa for a lot of that game. Meanwhile,

78
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals come off a win. They are three and ozho.

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: In fact, do you realize they have won two consecutive

80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: ten am kickoffs on the East Coast for just the

81
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: second time since nineteen eighty eight, and both of those

82
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: have been under Cliff Kingsbury. Ye, think about that. And

83
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: although it wasn't easy because we were talking to Cliff

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: right after the game, you were doing the postgame show Wolf,

85
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: and you heard him when we asked him about just

86
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: the circumstances of coming from nineteen ten down and securing

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: a win in javill we'd like to make it interesting.

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: There's no doubt the end of the first half, you

89
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: don't face many moments of momentum change as great as that.

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: And I thought the guys did a tremendous shop at halftime,

91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: really settling in, having good conversation about where we need

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: to do in the second half, and coming out and

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: executing a high level. I can only imagine what the

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: halftime locker room was like after they kick six. But

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: then it was Buyer Murphy's pick six that changed the

96
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: game for good. Yeah, there's no doll, Paul. They really rallied.

97
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: They played very very well when they absolutely had to

98
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: because basically, for three quarters, and I think you would

99
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: agree with this, they were outplayed. They were flat out outplayed.

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I thought to buy Jacksonville for almost three quarters and

101
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: then Man, the tide turned at the end of that

102
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: third quarter right there, and then the fourth quarter as well.

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: This is a good football team that is trying to

104
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: become a great football team. And the only way you're

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: going to be able to be that great football team

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: is if you can play great on a consistent basis, Paul,

107
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: And that's what I think they're looking for. Yeah, you're right.

108
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: They got down nineteen ten in that game, and what

109
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: was a touchdown drive by Jacksonville Eight plays, all runs

110
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: James Robinson six carries, sixty six yards. I'm not gonna

111
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: lie at that point. Yeah, I was a little bit

112
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: concerned before the tide turn. Cardinals are just one to

113
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: nine on third down, although they continue to be nails

114
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: in the red zone. But if you're talking about consistent play,

115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: are you not talking about the quarterback Kyler Murray at

116
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: a very high level right now? The guy is off

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: the charts right now, Paal, he really is. We all

118
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: know he can beat you with his arm, we all

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: know he can beat you with his legs. But Kyler

120
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: Murray right now, the thing that's gotten me the most

121
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: excited is he's beating teams with his brain. And man,

122
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: that is the evolution of a franchise quarterback. That's exactly

123
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: what a franchise quarterback has got to develop into, where

124
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: he's just as dangerous on the field in between the

125
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: white lines with his brain than he is his legs

126
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: and arm. So for the second straight game, a career

127
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: high and completion percentage better than eighty two percent against Jacksonville.

128
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: He's the first quarterback in team history and that goes

129
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: back more than one hundred years to complete at least

130
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: eighty percent of his passes in two straight games. It's

131
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: hard to believe. And now he gets as defense that

132
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: last year was number one overall in total d and Kyler,

133
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: of course asked about a Rams team that owns eight

134
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: straight wins against the Cardinals. As far as defense goes,

135
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: they're one of the best in the league. If not so,

136
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: that in its own right is exciting. If you don't,

137
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: if you don't got that in you, then this game

138
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: is not for you, especially this one that we're about

139
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: to play in this division. You know, it's it's there's

140
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: no shine away from it. If you shy away from

141
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna get eaten alive. And that's just how it is.

142
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: So that's how I see it. There's some more of

143
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: that mentality. Well, if we're talking about with J. J. Watton,

144
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: and here's what I've been talking about all week, Well,

145
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: arguably the best team in the NFL get the best

146
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: out of the Arizona Cardinals. We saw it in Tennessee.

147
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: We saw it when they went in here. We're well

148
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: aware the Titans were talking about themselves, dare I say,

149
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: feeling themselves as a Super Bowl contender, and they came

150
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: out and played accordingly. Now against Minnesota and Jacksonville, Okay,

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: we can argue they might have played down to the

152
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: level of competition at the time, but now, all of

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, minnesot to win into Seattle, that win looks

154
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: even better. I'm just very intrigued about you know, all

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: this talk about the Rams and what they look like

156
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford. Now say, no, I'm curious to see

157
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals look like, considering the stakes and this

158
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: team facing this sort of challenge. Yeah, no, Polly, it's

159
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: a good point. It really is a valid point. What's

160
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: interesting about this fascinating to me. We all know the

161
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals offense is playing at an extremely high level.

162
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: We all know the kind of defense the Rams have.

163
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: Yet you look at the tape and man, you see it.

164
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: You see Aaron Donald. Low boy, he is good, Pollies,

165
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: he is good out there. That's Aaron Donald. It's a bad,

166
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: bad man, Paul, Stay away from him. And then you've

167
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: got Jalen Ramsey of course, and Darius Williams at corner.

168
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Those are to me the three best players I think

169
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: for the Rams, and they stick out like sore thumbs.

170
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is collectively this defense isn't nearly as

171
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: as prolific as they were last year, not yet, Paul.

172
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: Would it surprise you if I say they were? They

173
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: were twentieth in the NFL in total yards allowed? Would

174
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: that surprise you, Paul? It would even though they lost

175
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator and they lost some other parts to

176
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: go from one to the bottom third in the league, Paul,

177
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: would I would it surprise you that they're twenty seventh

178
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: in terms of allowing first downs seven defense? Paul, it's

179
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: really surprising to me. They're not getting the kind of

180
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: production on the field that they are in the red zone.

181
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: The red zone, they're doing a good job. They're number

182
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: nine and points alot and the Rams are saying, hey,

183
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: we played three playoff teams. No, you haven't. The Bears

184
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: aren't a playoff team this year. The Colts are not

185
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: a playoff team this year. You played and beat the Buccaneers,

186
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: and you know they put some numbers up there with

187
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and company. There's no doubt about it. You

188
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: want numbers. I want a guy who started his career

189
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: first receiver ever to begin a career with seven consecutive

190
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl selections. AJ Green is next on the Big

191
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by Santan four in. Gilbert rows at

192
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Dan Ball right inside down the sideline out a man.

193
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: It's caught by A J. Greeny. J Green just stabbed

194
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: it out of the air, out of the den turn fright,

195
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: stiff arming pen of five Penno diving into the end zone.

196
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: Hey J Green with his first cardinal touched down, Go

197
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: go datchet stiff arm for a J. Green. Hurry with time,

198
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: looking deep, airing it out the middle of the field.

199
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: It's underthrown. It's caught anyway though by AJ Green at

200
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line. That big body of AJ Green

201
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: too much to handle. Man six four two good? What's

202
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: the old axiom? If he's single cover, he's open. Throw

203
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: it to him. That's AJ Green. That was from the

204
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Jacksonville win where he had five grabs for a game.

205
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: I one hundred twelve yards receiving more than twenty two

206
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: yards per grab the Minnesota touchdown. There and no better

207
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: evidence that AJ Green is and Arizona Cardinal if you

208
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: don't believe it as of yet, the Bengals are playing

209
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: tonight on Thursday Night Football, but the original Thursday Night Football,

210
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage, is now with AJ Green, and

211
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: we welcome it in. And AJ, how are you doing?

212
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: I mean, after a decade in the Natty, how you

Speaker 1: would imagine is new to you. I remember I played

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: seven years with the Cardinals and I went to the

236
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns and suddenly walking into that locker room for

237
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: the first time, everything was new, Everything was different, and

238
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,000

Speaker 1: you know I made some lifelong friends there in Cincinnati. Um,

242
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: but you know, everything, every good thing comes to an

243
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: end to where you know, I came here and you know,

244
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: the new spot, the new atmosphere just gave me another

245
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: you know, another boost. Man. I just you know, a

246
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: lot of people said I couldn't play again or I'm

247
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: losing the step. But you know, I know the work

248
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: that I put in each every year, and I still

249
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: have a lot of lesson to taking. I'm glad Arizona

250
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: gaming this opportunity. AJ Green is our guest. How's the fit?

251
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a weird question, but you know,

252
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: you go somewhere new and maybe you think you know,

253
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: but you don't know for certain. I mean, how has

254
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: the fit been? Both the lifestyle, the locker room and

255

258
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: I think one thing about our receive a room. Man,

259
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: there's no egos in that room. Um. We all feed

260
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: off each other energy. We all compete at a high

261
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: level and try to make each other better. And I think,

262
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, in that room and we like we're like brothers,

263
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: Like we communicate when we got to eat. Um, we

264
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: do a lot of stuff together. You know. I love

265
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,040

266
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: of any football teams that I have been on and

267
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: some of the more talented position rooms that I've I've

268
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: been around, and the guys really had to communicate. I

269
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,359
Speaker 1: was so glad to hear you use that word communicate

270
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: because you have to be able to talk about it, right,

271
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, do you guys actually sit down and discuss Hey, listen, guys,

272
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: we understand there's one football here and we've got a

273
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: lot of talented guys in this room. Do you talk

274
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, of course. Um, you know, we know

275
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: that that we have a lot of a lot of

276
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, guys that can make plays on the ball.

277
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: So you know this is you know, it's gonna be

278
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: tough at some at some points its manly have one ball.

279
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: But you know, we just we just stayed the course.

280
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, we know that sometimes we're not gonna

281
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: get you know, it might be my day, it might

282
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: be hop day, um, but majority of the balls, you know,

283
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be spread around. Um and we go as

284
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, hop going Hop as a guy that's gonna

285
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: demand a lot of coverage and make it easy for us.

286
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: So you know, you know they bracting him double NM.

287
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: We have to eat to loosen up the coverage for him. Yes,

288
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: and you know what, You've been asked the dep questions

289
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: so many times and for two guys like us, we

290
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: talk Cardinals every single day. Let me ask you this.

291
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: You cited I think last week that the two of

292
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: you have a very similar personality. Expand on that, and

293
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: does that have something to do with the fact you're

294
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: both from South Carolina? Perhaps? I think we just approached

295
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: the game like how we apposed the game. How he's

296
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, we calm, you know, we don't don't get

297
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: too high on so we don't get too low on us.

298
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: So we go out there and play the game, and

299
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: we relax, and you know, we let our works before ourselves,

300
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: you know. And I didn't know that about how until

301
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: I got here. And how how smart he is, and

302
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: the guy can recoverage this. He's telling me, Hey, you

303
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: need to do this, or you need to you see this,

304
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: you can break this off a little bit. Um. He's

305
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: a very very smart guy. UM. So you know, if

306
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: he's that's my end, that's how I am. So um.

307
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, I just go about my miss let my

308
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, my play, UM do the talking and and

309
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: we let it rest there. AJ you said it beautifully

310
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: right at the end of your last answer, you were

311
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that if you guys start getting

312
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: the rock, if you guys start getting the balls thrown

313
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: your way, that that's gonna eventually free up DeAndre Hopkins.

314
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Could you expand on that a little bit for people

315
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: that are listening right now, what exactly you meant by that,

316
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: because you're dead on it's the only way out really

317
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: for D hup. Yeah, you know, of course, you know,

318
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: we know everybody know WHATD have to do. Many in

319
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: Italy for a while played at a high level and

320
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: we know that defense is Cordinez is for him, is

321
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: going to take try to take him out the game,

322
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: and for us, we just gotta win out matchups. So

323
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: you know they have they can play as honest in Cincinnati,

324
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: you were that guy for a decade. How is it

325
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: now that you have you have less traffic. I don't

326
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: know how the highways are and the commutes are between

327
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: Phoenix and Cincinnati traffic, But you're seeing less traffic in

328
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: the secondary, aren't you. Oh yeah, of course, Um, you know,

329
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: like you know, not much double not you know, rolland coverage.

330
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: Everything's pretty honest, man, And I haven't seen it in

331
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: a long time, so it's pretty nice, a J. Do

332
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: you know what the hoodie who is? Do you know

333
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: what the hoodie who is? No? No, I don't. I

334
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: don't know what. Any sane person doesn't know. Polly, be quiet, AJ.

335
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember when Kyler Murray looked out and saw

336
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: you were You were guarded by a guy that was

337
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: much smaller than you were, and he was ten yards

338
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: off and suddenly Kyler threw you the ball immediately and

339
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: you stiff from the guy and you scored a touchdown.

340
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: I know you remember that play right there? That was

341
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: that was you, and that was you and Kyler being

342
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: on the same page. Correct, Yeah, yeah, of course there's

343
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: just another you know communication. You know, I always keep

344
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: my eyes on him. Um, and I'm saying on like

345
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: that is like soft soft coverage. So see back AJ,

346
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: when when I used to play dudes, you used to stand,

347
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: They used to stand out, slot right or split out?

348
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: Why do like you were and go? Who do you who?

349
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: Trying to get the quarterbacks in touch and throwing the ball? Well,

350
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: that's because there was no one in Sundevil Stadium and

351
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: you can hear each other. That's why. So Hey, speaking

352
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: of AJ Green is our guest here on the Big

353
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: Red Rage and a former Cardinal and a former Bengals

354
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: teammate of yours. Frosty Rucker was our guest a few

355
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: months packed during the off season. Okay, this is right

356
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: after you sign in the line that has dotted and

357
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, AJ Green, what's he all about? And

358
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: the question to Frosty Rucker was from us was Okay,

359
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: how much does eighteen have left? Well? I think A J.

360
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Green have a lot left. I think his time was

361
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: just up in Cincinnati, playing on turf, practicing on turf

362
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: and you know, subjo temperatures, and it was his time

363
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: to break loose of that. He's pro ball player, top

364
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: of the game, a guy that could really go up

365
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: and get the ball, great teammate, never hear anything bad

366
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: had about him. The receiver group is just getting stronger,

367
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: and if AJ gets enough football this year, he may

368
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: just be comeback player of the year. How much truth

369
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: is there in that whole comment from Frosty Rucker? A

370
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: lot a lot of truth. Um. Like you said, man,

371
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: every every great thing um comes to end. And like

372
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: I said, you know, my time in Cincinnati were just up,

373
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: no hard feelings against anybody. Had a great conversation with

374
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: mister Brown. You know, I'd be a beingerful life man

375
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: that best. There will always be a special place in

376
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: my heart that you know. I became d AJ Green

377
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, so it's like it's always gonna be a

378
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, special place for me personally. But um, you know, UM,

379
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: I just gotta gott an opportunity somewhere else man. And

380
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: I came here man, Like I said, I want to

381
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: think you know, the big Will family and Steve that

382
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: it gave me opportunity, um, just to come here and

383
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: and still play. And I still do have a lot

384
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: less in the tank. If you talk to anybody that

385
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: knows me, you know how I work, how I train

386
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: and uh you know I let that speak for ourselves.

387
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: Aj are you still learning this offense right now? Or

388
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: do you feel like you you've got it pretty much? Master?

389
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm far from masters. Every week. It's

390
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: a learning process. Um. Um just trying to get on

391
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: the same page as Kyler. Um you know how how

392
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: place on one stuff run and um some stuff that

393
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: you know like him detailing about what I need to

394
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: do better or what I what I see, UM in

395
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: this route? How I need to change it? So we

396
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: always communicating and my receiver coach cliffs Whip. UM, we're

397
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: always communicating like a you might need to do this

398
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: or how you like this? Or do you need to

399
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: change anything? UM? So every week man is learning. M

400
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: I feel like you don't ever master anything because I

401
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't believe in that. UM. I

402
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: think if you're trying to, uh, you know, be great,

403
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: there's always something you can learn. You know, we can

404
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: see the arm obviously, we can see the legs on Kyler.

405
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: You know what can't we see? What are you your takeaways?

406
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: And I'll give an example of the growth I think

407
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: we saw. And because he talked about and de Hop

408
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: talked about and Rondel Moore it was in Tennessee and

409
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: both guys made mental errors and Kyler held him accountable

410
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: and you know he's pretty stern in doing so. You know,

411
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: just tell us, because you're used to playing with veteran quarterbacks,

412
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: what do you think of Kyler in that role as

413
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: a leader and sort of a coach in the huddle. UM?

414
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: I think you know for him is you know, being

415
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: that that vocal leader. Um, because this is his team. UM,

416
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: so we go as ego. I think he can see

417
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: the steps that he's taking already this year. Like I said,

418
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: we go out to dinner, We do dinners together at

419
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: the games during the week. You know, we had we

420
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: go quarterback. We see group meetings and he's running the meetings. Um.

421
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a big step from what I'm hearing

422
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: from last year. And you know how he's just taking

423
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: command of this you know, this team and his this

424
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: is his offense. Um. And I think this guy, you know,

425
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: he has his talentness through the roof. Um. Definitely he's

426
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: gonna be an a p candidate. He's gonna do all that. Um.

427
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: So I'm very excited about about his growth. I mean,

428
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: so ay j if you're gonna go eat, where do

429

459
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: I get it. But you know, for the record, Kyler

460
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: does deny any connection, knowledge, or inspiration thereof from Star

461
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: Wars and Mandalorian, especially Baby Yoda, any and all the above.

462
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: But for an outside opinion and a ruling, we go

463
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: back to AJ Green here on the big Red rage.

464
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: So AJ is the locker room buying Kyler's denial or not?

465
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't. I have no clue. I

466
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: don't know about that. Are you a Star Wars guy

467
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: when he did that? Did you think yoga? Or did

468
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: you think Baby Yoda? I'm not a Star Wars thing.

469
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: So I don't. I really know any babe, but I'm

470
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: thinking yoga. I was thinking yoga. I don't know. Yeah,

471
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: that does not surprised me at all that you're not

472
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: a Star Wars guy. I'm with you on that one. J.

473
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: What about you? Do you have a touchdown celebration? Do

474
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: you have a go to for yourself? I don't. I

475
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: don't have anything. Every time I scored my whole career,

476
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, my everybody, my family, my friends, They're like,

477
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: you need to come up with a celebration. I'm like,

478
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: it's too late for that now. What I love that

479
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: right there? Act like you've been there before. Correct, That's

480
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: what I tell the young guys. Yeah, but didn't you

481
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: bust out? Didn't you make your own touchdown signal against

482
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings. It's a very proper you were you were,

483
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, like Clive Blakeman, you're like an actual official. Yeah,

484
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: and everybody got me, gave me crab about that, and

485
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: so there's look an old man celebression. So that's good.

486
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: That's funny. Well, look you heard what Kyler's like, especially

487
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: in the red zone. AJ. You know, when we were

488
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: early in camp, Wolf and I were talking and Wolf

489
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: always takes notes and some of the football knowledge I

490
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: gave him, and I sighted a Wolf. I said, look

491
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: at the personnel. When you have a j Green and

492
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: now Rondel Moore and James Connor the big back, and

493
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: then obviously Kyler with the wheels, this team is going

494
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: to be a force in the red zone. And guess what.

495
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals are ten of twelve in the red

496
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: zone through three games. What do you attribute that to? Um?

497
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: For one, this Tyler be able to make plays when

498
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: when the players break down, because you know a lot

499
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: of plays in the NFL scorings off. You know, not

500
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: the routine plays is all something getting break down. So

501
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: for us, we just gotta stay alive and Kyler gets

502
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: out of that pocket. So because he's so dynamic, and

503
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: then this guy is just making plays to hop At,

504
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: I think he has three touchdowns to the way, he

505
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: just three eights and gets open. And you know that's

506
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: who we got to do. We just got to get

507
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: open when the pockets breakdown on the play breaks down.

508
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: So way, Jay, as you're watching tape on the Los

509
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams and in particular, of course, I would say

510
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: that defense right there, I'm sure that's what you're looking at.

511
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: Talk to me about what you're seeing on tape from

512
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: those defense? How do they like to play? You know,

513
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: they don't give up the big place. You know, they

514
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: got to one of the best player in the NFL

515
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: right now, and there's Aaron Donalds and top five player

516
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, Jen and Ramsey, and you

517
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: know they've got a lot of other guys that you know,

518
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: they play a great defense. So for us, we just

519
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: gotta stay song and just take what they get of us.

520
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: How familiar are you with Jalen Ramsey maybe from your

521
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: AFC days? How often have you gone against him? They're

522
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: only win against him one time, but everybody knows. So

523
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: he's a great player, a great corner. Um, he's probably

524
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: one of those physical corners I went against the tackles

525
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: him and Marlin Humpies. I think I've one of the best.

526
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: The two best corners you know, playing a run uh

527
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: you know him and uh covering receivers. You know, they

528
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: have the complete package. AJ was so weird because you

529
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: watch the tape of the Rams, of course, and you

530
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: see Aaron Donald and you see the Jalen Ramsey and

531
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: Darius Williams. You know they've got good players on the

532
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Yet their numbers, they're twentieth

533
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: in yards per game allowed, they're twenty fifth, and passing

534
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: yards per game allowed, they're twenty seventh, and first downs allowed,

535
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: they're twenty fourth one on third down defense, I mean

536
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: it goes on and on. Yet when you get to

537
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: the red zone, they're top ten they're top ten red

538
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: zone defense and they're number nine and points allowed and

539
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: as you know, that's really all that matters. Right there

540
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: are they playing a ben but don't break philosophy, right

541
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: and you not think, you know, the defense is something

542
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: like the Mike Zimbers when he wasn't in Cincinnati and

543
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: when he had the great defense and when the vikings

544
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: um to break, I mean being but don't break. And

545
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: that's scoring points. So have you keep teams from scoring points?

546
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: You know, keeping the field goals and your offense can

547
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: put up a lot of points like they can is

548
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, the numbers could be deceiving. A J. Green

549
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: is our guest on the Big Red Rage. So the

550
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: way they're playing defense, is there still room for the

551
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: scramble drill? Is there still room for that second phase

552
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: of a play? Does that work potentially against any defense? Yeah?

553
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: I think it's hard of stuff that that defense, I mean,

554
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: that offense when you just got guys just playing back.

555
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah football, Um, so we you know, we might have

556
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: have to do that in some playing not gonna be

557
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: how he jorde up of practice or we saw it

558
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: on film or something like that. We just gonna have

559
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: to you know, just get open one Tyler bridge that pocket.

560
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: So when you watch them, what what coverage would you

561
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: say right now is their favorite coverage? What do you

562
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 1: expect to see? Um? You know what? It makes it up? Um.

563
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: I think they basically get his own team. Um. They

564
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: don't like to give up the big, the big, the

565
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: big place. Um to keep everything in front of him

566
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: and they wait for you to make some mistake. And

567
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: how does ninety nine impact any game plan, any game

568
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: just period? I know Sean Coogler was talking today how

569
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: they move him around. He could be on the nose

570
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: three technique, he could be on the edge. Just talk

571
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: about the guy you called probably the best player in

572
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: the game. Um, I think you know that guy. He

573
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: just a he just a beast man. You know, I

574
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: played with a guy like that and Wincin Eddie and

575
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: Gino Atkins and I've seen what he did to you know,

576
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot of defenses and with Aaron Donald right down.

577
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: This is like unreal. Uh. Um. He has to be

578
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: a ton of for him every play because he can

579
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: rip the game. Steve kaim Aj, he made a concerted

580
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: effort to go out and get leaders and bring leaders

581
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: into that locker room. I know you've been asked this before,

582
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: but I haven't had the opportunity to ask you myself.

583
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: What kind of leader do you think you are? Um?

584
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: I think for me, I leave by example. UM. I

585
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: think I I you know, I go out there and

586
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: work my tail off, um every week, you know, in practice,

587
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: meeting rooms, everything not try I leave by example. Um,

588
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: but you know, if I need to talk, or I

589
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: need to you know, talk to some young guys, or

590
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, just keep that calm presence of you know,

591
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: when you know this this game as a roller coaster.

592
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: Everything's not gonna be perfect. Um. I think I can

593
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: step up, you know, and in calm you know, everyone

594
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: down and when I talk, everybody would listen. Um. Uh.

595
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: But for me, I leave example. Yeah, on that note

596
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: right there, AJ, I mean, is it your job to

597
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: talk to Christian Kirk? Is it your job to talk

598
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: to Rondale Moore, to talk to these guys and try

599
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: to develop them and mentor them. Um. I think for me,

600
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: I just you know, the young guys. I think, if

601
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: you're coming in with a mindset, if you want to

602
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: be great, Um, you just watched the older players. I

603
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: don't think I have to talk to Rondale. I don't

604
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: think I have to park to see Kirk. To see

605
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: Kirk is a guy that's that's unbelievable hum and having

606
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: an unbelievable season. Um. So for me, like I said,

607
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: I just try to lead, lead by example. For Rondelle,

608
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm showing them great practice adverts, habits, and how I

609
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: go about you know, studying outside outside, you know, outside

610
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: the stadium, outside the facility. As you wrap it up

611
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: here with AJ Green, you mentioned Kirk. I mean, I

612
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: think of this game, guys, and I think of the

613
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: receiving talent on the field, just AJ and d Hop

614
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore and then Cooper was

615
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: leading in the NFL and most receiving categories, Robert Woods,

616
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson, who's still running that go rowdy at a

617
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: seventy five yarder last week. How equipped is the Cardinals

618
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: secondary and some of these young corners we know Byron

619
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: Murphy is your NFC Defensive Player of the Week, But

620
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: you know the Marco Wilson's of the world, who he

621
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: seemingly hasn't blinked yet. He he hasn't had a welcome

622
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: to the NFL moment, I'm just curious. How equipped do

623
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: you think the Cardinals corners are to face this Rams offense?

624
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: Stafford and McVeigh. I think you know they they they're great. Man.

625
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: We had a big test coming up week one with

626
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: those two good receivers. Um, I think they're ready. I

627
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: know from from day one Marco, we said that Marco

628
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: is going to be a starting corner in this lady man,

629
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: He's unbelieva was how he approached his game, how Communes

630
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: is out there, he doesn't get too rattle. One of

631
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: the stuff not going right the way he practices. And

632
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Marphy's he's playing out his mind. And I come in

633
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Mark because going to scout team, Murf's going going. He's

634
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: gonna hop up on scout team and goal gets me

635
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: just to get releases. So I know, you know he

636
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: wants to be great. Um, he just wants to get

637
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: extra work. And I think, you know, I do think

638
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: with JJ chans A Jordan, we got a very talented defense.

639
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: What do you think it's gonna take to walk out

640
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: of there with a win, Like I said, Mary, it's

641
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: not gonna take you know, anything crazy. We just gotta

642
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: go play our game. We'll be fine. You know, I

643
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: look at Marco just real quick and a fop on

644
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: that I think of you. I think of you as

645
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: an SEC Freshman of the Year, first Team All SEC

646
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: as a freshman. And here's a cue who walked in

647
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: and just started from day one at Florida was a

648
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: four year starter from a true freshman on. Just how

649
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: much does that equip you to be an NFL player

650
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: when you have that sort of experience from day one

651
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: in the SEC. I think it keeps you calm, man,

652
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: It keeps you the game never gets too big for you.

653
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: And I think it's a lot of young guys come

654
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: in and to get a little shot. How fast you

655
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: guys are. But playing as you see, you see that

656
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: every week and you go against that every week in practice.

657
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: So you know you're playing the floor with one hundred thousand,

658
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: hundred thousand fans in there, and you come to the NFL.

659
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: You know a moment's not too big for you. Well, Aj,

660
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: I know you picked up golf recently. You haven't run

661
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: into fits on a golf course nearby, have you recently?

662
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: I haven't. I have. I think the last time we

663
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: played with Kurt, and I see Kurt, we played camell

664
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: battle like two weeks ago. Um, but that was last

665
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: time we played. Okay, all right, well you know, if

666
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: you have any breaking Larry News, let us know. And

667
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: don't let Larry sandbag you out there on the course either, okay,

668

Speaker 1: come back. We'll talk more about the Rams game. And

675
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: someone with AJ Green told us some of the most

676
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: pointed comments there. It is the Arizona Cardinals Big Red Rage,

Speaker 1: buyers across the middle. Its intercepted. It was deflected and

680
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: picked off by Byron Murphy. Lawrence takes turns, gives to hide.

681
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: It's a police flicker, pitching it back to Lawrence. Season

Speaker 1: mistake by the rookie with a pick six, and the

Speaker 1: Cardinals are back in front twenty three to nineteen Byron

687

Speaker 1: Murphy was all over that that's a great read by

688
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: a young guy coming of age about it. The NFC

689

Speaker 1: For the latest updates on the Dave Pash Pod, follow

697
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: along on Twitter at Pash Pod, Paul KALBC, Ron Wolfley,

698
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: and want a pleasure to visit with AJ Green. I mean,

699
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy wolf who began his career

700
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: was seven consecutive Pro Bowl selections and you heard him.

701
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: He said it again. I still feel like I have

702
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: a lot left in the tank. It makes me think

703
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight when the Arizona Cardinals. That's

704
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: the last team to have three individual receivers with a

705
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: thousand yards receiving a piece back when it was fits An,

706
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: Quan Bolden and Steve Breston. If you're looking at d

707
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: hop aj Green and Christian Kirk, especially in seventeen games,

708
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: and the way Kyler Murray is dealing right now. Hello,

709
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: Now you're right about that ballie, It's going to be very,

710
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: very interesting because the rams and how the rams match

711
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: up right now is basically the way every defensive coordinator

712
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: is going to start defending Kyler Murray and this offense.

713
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: Yea hush four, rush five whatever, play zone behind that

714
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: right there and hope that somehow, some way you can

715
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: actually keep Kyler Murray in the pocket, get pressure on

716
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: him and he might throw you the ball. Hence, and

717
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: you tell me it's so critical that now in year three,

718
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: he's able to go through his reads and progressions like

719
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: never before. Yes, they're making him think, are they not?

720
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury he told us on his weekly TV show.

721
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, Jacksonville had shown a lot of exotic

722
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: blitz is in the first two games not against the Cardinals.

723
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: They did not see a lot of that. Matt just

724
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: has incredible arm talent. Some of the throws he's able

725
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: to make and cut lowis like a mortal man wouldn't

726
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: even attempt, you know, but he can. He can do it.

727
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: He's always had that gun slamm in talent where he's

728
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: gonna take his shots and push the bat downfield and

729
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: he can really drive the football. So it's us and

730
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: to watch it, you know, it's kind of the perfect

731
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: storm when you get a play carlier la mcveay and

732
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: a guy like that who's played at such a high

733
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: level for so long. He's tough, he's a great leader.

734
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: So they really got it going. Actually, Kyler's had better

735
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: communication with his receivers than I just exhibited right there.

736
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,959
Speaker 1: That was us talking a little bit later about the Rams.

737
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about Cliff Kingsbury and what he saw

738
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville and your point that that might be the

739
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: norm until the Cardinals do something to make defensive coordinators

740
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: change their mind. Did they not see that the last

741
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: two months of last season as well? Yeah, Poulli, for

742
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: the most part, right there, they did to some degree,

743
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: of course, and this is what's going to happen. I

744
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: think in this game against the Rams, now they will

745
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: mix it up. They're gonna do that because nobody wants

746
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: to be predictable. But it's a fascinating, fascinating game to me.

747
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: And whether or not the Cardinals are going to be

748
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: able to capitalize once they get in the red zone,

749
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: that to me is the question. Red zone is going

750
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: to be huge in this game. You heard aj Green

751
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: right there talking about the philosophy of the Rams defense

752
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: and how they go about their business, and man, that

753
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: shows up the fact they're giving up yards out on

754
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: the field. But once you get into the red zone,

755
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: now you've got to score touchdowns. That's where the game

756
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: is won in loss so much of the time, Paul,

757
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: So think about it. There's on a Cardinals are ten

758
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: to twelve in the red zone here in twenty twenty one.

759
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: It's so good the Rams are top ten. But what

760
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: about third down? Are you concerned at all? I heard

761
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: someone say that Cardinals have been good on third down

762
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: earlier today. No, yeah, you couldn't be more incorrect. That's erroneous.

763
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: They are one of nine on third down in the

764
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: week before against the Vikings. They are three of nine

765
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: on third down. That has not been going well. Yes,

766
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: it has not been going well for them. They've got

767
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: to improve that. But can I flip it over, Paully

768
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: and just look at the Rams offense here momentarily, because

769
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: it's a fascinating study. Because the first two games of

770
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: the season against the Bears, of course, and then on

771
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: the road at the Colts, Paul, you know what it

772
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: looked like. It looked like the Rams offense was Jared Goff,

773
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: the same offense with Jared Goff, except it was Matthew

774
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: Stafford that was actually running that offense. They put him

775
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: under center a lot, They rolled them out to the

776
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: strength of the formation a bootleg, they rolled them out

777
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: to the weak side of the formation a waggle. They

778
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: used a lot of play action to throw the ball

779
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: down the field as well. And then all of a sudden,

780
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: in that third game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Paul,

781
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: they just came out and they spread the field and

782
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: they said, we're gonna throw this ball. We're gonna throw

783
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: the ball. Because the Buccaneers are having all sorts of

784
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: problems getting pressure on an opposing quarterback that in their

785
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: secondary is a complete mess as well, Richard Sherman. Of

786
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: course they went out and got him, brought him in,

787
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: signed him. This is that, this is what the Rams

788
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: are capable of, Paul. They can do anything. They can

789
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: run an offense that's more traditional, or they can go ahead,

790
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: get in that shotgun and run a bunch of eye

791
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: candy by you and throw the ball out of eleven personnel.

792
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna see. Would you say, though? And

793
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: this is the feedback over done the Rams that Matthew

794
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: Stafford he throws the ball downfield a lot more than

795
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, who was tagged with the captain checkdown moniker,

796
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: especially his last season. That he's more willing to take risk,

797
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: he's more willing to take chances. There's a lot more

798
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: chunk plays. I think the status they have a dozen

799
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: pass plays of twenty yards or more. Yes, and so

800
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: they're really a downfield almost not unlike a Bruce arians

801
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: productivity when it comes to the chunk pass. Paul, there,

802
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: you just nailed it right there. That statement. You could

803
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: not have said anything that is more true. That's what

804
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: they're doing and guess what they're doing it out of

805
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford under center and they're running play action, and

806
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: that's where these chunk throws. This is where this actually

807
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: is happening, even on some rollouts. Remember I talked to

808
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: you about this very thing. I said, Man, I don't

809
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: see Matthew Stafford being a good fit for the Sean

810
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: McVay offense with Jared Goff rolling out and and putting

811
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: him out on the I didn't see that as a

812
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: good fit. Paul Man was I long about Matthew Stafford.

813
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: He is capable of getting out. He is a much

814
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: better athlete than I gave him credit for. Well, think

815
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: about it. Cooper Cup now les the NFL and receptions

816
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: yards receiving touchdown receptions to saw Jackson. By the way,

817
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Jackson is doing for that Rams offense what Rondelle

818
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: Moore is doing for the Cardinals offense in a lot

819
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: of ways. He had his ninth touchdown his career of

820
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: seventy five yards or more, and then Sean McVeigh was

821
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: so fired up he ran across the end zone into

822
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: the tunnel to hug DeShawn Jackson. So I mean, you know,

823
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: you know why, PAULI because he knew the kind of

824
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: impact that was going to have. On his offense. I mean,

825
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: even when DeShawn Jackson is not getting the ball. Between

826
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: all the you know, exuberant energy from from Sean McVay

827
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: these days and the eight no record against the Arizona Cardinals,

828
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: he might replace coach Double Rainbow number one in the

829
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: power poll or the most annoying NFC West opposing head coach.

830
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, well this point, Paul, have you ever

831
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: heard a sound bite from them? Paul? Have you ever?

832
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy just just buzzes right through whatever

833
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: it is. I don't need to sound much. I'm sick

834
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: of his soup commercials as well. Okay, so I get

835
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: enough in the soup commercials in the motivation speech. But

836
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing. He is a good coach, No, he is,

837
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: he is, and I absolutely respect him. And Kyle Shanahan

838
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the week after. Those are the two guys,

839
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: more than anyone on the cardinal schedule, who can just

840
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: flat dial it up and they can keep a defense honest.

841
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: And here's the hole he can only stat for you.

842
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: You realize the Rams are number one in the NFL

843
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 1: on percentage of scores on their drives. They are scoring

844
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: on fifty eight point six percent of their drives. Wow,

845
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: that's stupid. I mean, that is so efficient. They have

846
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: on fifty eight point six percent of their drives they

847
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: are scoring the la rams. That shows you how high

848
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: powered with a brand new quarterback who's still get his

849
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: feet wedding the system. You know, it's amazing about that.

850
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: Pauli is their number three in points scored per game.

851
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: Guess who's number one? The Cardinals and the Tampa Bay

852
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: Buccaneers tied. So it comes full circle to what I

853
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: want to see. And if you hit zoom out, like

854
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: I've been saying all week, well, arguably the best team

855
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, at least the team that's number one

856
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: in all the power polls, get the best out of

857
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. That's what I want to know. By

Speaker 1: what a great signing VI Steve that was. That was

866

Speaker 1: very interesting stuff, no doubt about that. And you see

867
