Here's Craig Griolu and three time 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: pro bowler Kyle Vandenbosch. Well, it is a game week 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: edition of the Cardinals Red Sea Report. Kyle, we have 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: not been able to say that since January. Okay, it's preseason, 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: but it's still a game. As you get into week 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: three training camp, I'm beginning to feel like a lot 18 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: of the players just need to see a different colored 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: uniform and something else to kind of base our evaluations 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: and discussions on Yeah. Absolutely, for a couple of reasons. 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: One we saw another little and I don't know if 22 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: you call it a fight, but some disagreements. Yeah, disagreement 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: on the field today. So you do get sick of 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: going against your own guys every day. And again, like 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: you said, I'm sure the players are looking forward to 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: playing against other people. You, I, everybody else, every Cardinals 27 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: fan is looking forward to seeing our guys compete against 28 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: another team, regardless of how you feel about preseason games 29 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: and the players that are being held out. I'm really 30 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: intrigued about some of these younger players to see because 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm seeing flashes from guys out on the football field 32 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: in practice. I'm I'm excited to see whether that can 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: carry over to a game type atmosphere. Yeah. It's one 34 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: thing to do it in practice in front of very 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: few fans, if any, and then another thing when the 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: lights are turned on and you have a full stadium 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's not something that you're 38 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: trying to think. You just want to be able to 39 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: react and how does that carry over. So this is 40 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: the next part of the evaluation Friday coming up on 41 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: four thirty. In the afternoon on Friday, Cardinals at the 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Pregame coverage begins at twelve thirty on the 43 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. But you referenced Tuesday's practice full pads, 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: which is always good to see, but once again, a 45 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: two minute drill I would say wasted but not completed 46 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: because well, things got a little heated between the offensive 47 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: and defensive line. It's always the two minute drill always. 48 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: I mean that was my experience too. We went through 49 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: about two weeks of training camp one year and we 50 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: could never finish the two minute drill. I think it's 51 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: it's always at the end of practice. It's always when 52 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: guys are tired, and something always happens to set somebody off. 53 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: But you know, again, it's not a bad thing. I 54 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: love it. I love to see intensity. I love to 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: see guys going hard. You know, it would be concerning 56 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: to me. I'm sure coaches probably would be fine with it, 57 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: but be concerning to me if we didn't see that 58 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: type of intensity out there on the practice field. So 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: it's it's good to see. Um, it's you know, I 60 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: believe it's healthy for a football team. So you know, 61 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: I like the mentality of this team. I like what 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm seeing out on the practice field, and it stays 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: on that football field. In fact, once the players get 64 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: to the sideline, it's it's done, and it's over and 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: you move on to the next thing. You look at 66 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: what else we saw on Tuesday, Kyler Murray doing a 67 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: little bit more throwing. We have not seen him throw 68 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: much since coming off the COVID nineteen lists, so that 69 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: was good to see Hollywood Brown in full pads, going 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: through drills and doing even a little bit of eleven 71 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: on eleven. But everyone wants to know about Kyler Murray. 72 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: Here is head coach Cliff Kingsbury. Well Eason back in 73 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: this week and hopefully at the end of the way 74 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: week he'll feel good enough to cut it loose and 75 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: keep it rolling. But we want to be smart. Kingsbury 76 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: also brought up the fact that why we haven't seen 77 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: Kyler throw a bunch is because of a risk that 78 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: was actually bothering him before he got COVID nineteen. And 79 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: the other item from head coach Cliff Kingsbury, We're not 80 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: going to see Kyler in the preseason if at all, 81 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: and I'll be I'll raise my hand to say, I'm 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: okay with that, Kyle, because it doesn't matter to me now. 83 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: A year ago, at this time, I thought he needed 84 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: to play, but then we saw the seven zero start, 85 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: ten and two MVP conversation. Kyler Murray doesn't play in 86 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: the preseason. I'm okay. Yeah, it's not surprising. I think 87 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty much expected and it's not atypical. I mean, 88 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: you won't see most starting quarterbacks in the preseason much 89 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: or if at all. And you know, as far as 90 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: working him back slowly, as far as him not getting 91 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: in the preseason, you know, we've talked about this many times. 92 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: He's the most important player on this team. He is 93 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: your biggest asset. You've got to be smart. I mean, 94 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure Kyler would love to be out there. I'm 95 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: sure Coach Kingsbury would love to have him out there. 96 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: But if he's got something that's bothering him, if he's 97 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: got a nagging injury, now is the time to take 98 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: care of it, make sure he's right, because it would 99 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: be stupid to push through something and make it worse. 100 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: At this point, we need him for that game one 101 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: against Kansas City. Now, on the flip side, Obviously you're 102 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: not getting in a lot of work here in training camp. 103 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: I mean he was available week one, Week two, he 104 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: was nuts, and now here we are a week three 105 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: and he's working his way back, throwing the football, not 106 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: doing a whole heck of a lot. Eleven on eleven 107 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: we saw him once again with the headset calling and 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: plays during that two minute drill. We're not going to 109 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: see Kyle Murray probably if at all. On Friday. Trace 110 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: McSorley will get the start. Colton McCoy has been dealing 111 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: with some arm soreness, so he is resting. So is 112 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: there an issue as far as chemistry quarter pass catchers. 113 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: We talked about that, whether that's Hollywood Brown, whether that's 114 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green getting that work on the field 115 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: here in training camp. That's that really hasn't happened as 116 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: of yet. Yeah, not only has it not to me, 117 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: it's concerning. You know, it's not like Lou's sleep type 118 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: of concern at this point, but if this lingers on 119 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,119 Speaker 1: and we get further into camp, it really does become 120 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: a concern. I mean, Um, you talked about chemistry with receivers. 121 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Um Kyler is going to be working without DeAndre Hopkins 122 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: for six weeks. So, um, you know, the timing needs 123 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: to be there. He needs to get to work with 124 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: some of these new play new players that are going 125 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: to be you know, relied upon, especially early in the 126 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: season without DeAndre Hopkins. Um. You know, also, we talked 127 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: a lot about last year the chemistry between the quarterback 128 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: and center, and you know, through no fault of Kyler 129 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: or Rodney Hudson, but they he hasn't taken a snap 130 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: from Rodney Hudson since the last regular season game. UM, 131 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: so you know, you would love to at some point 132 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: get the offense out there all working together. You know, 133 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: we talked so much about the weapons we have and 134 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: the playmakers we have, but they have to get that 135 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: work together. And you know, it would be one thing 136 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: just because of the circumstances. Had Kyler got all that 137 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: work in OTAs, it wouldn't be such a big deal 138 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: at this point. But it really didn't get that chemistry 139 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: developing throughout the summer much either. With only the one 140 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp, you're trying to balance making sure everyone 141 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: is healthy and fresh for Week one, yet at the 142 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: same time get those reps. It doesn't have to be 143 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: in the preseason. In fact, I'd rather not be in 144 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: the preseason. But here in training camp OTA's mini camp. 145 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: He brought up Rodney Hudson. He has not been on 146 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: the practice field. I know they're really being cautious with him. 147 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: He's dealing with a knee issue in addition to kind 148 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: of probably getting back into game shape after missing all 149 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: of the offseason. So it's that fine balance as a 150 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: head coach. And I understand the aanks amongst the fan 151 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: base on I'll include myself in that as well, because 152 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: you want to be as close to I wouldn't say perfect, 153 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: but you'd want to use week one if you're the 154 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: starting lineup as like the fifth or fourth preseason game, right. 155 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: You want to have those wrinkles ironed out before you 156 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: get the Kansas City Chiefs here at Stave Farm Stadium, right. 157 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: And it's you know, when you're in an NFL team, 158 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: everybody's got to be a part of that conversation. It's 159 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: got to be Kyler, it's got to be Rodney Hudson, 160 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: it's got to be Hollywood Brown dealing with their injuries. 161 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: It's got to be the coaching staff. You know, here's 162 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: what we need, here's the reps we need. We need 163 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: to get some reps. It's also got to come from 164 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: the from the trainers. You know, is this guy ready, 165 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: what does he look like? What are our risks if 166 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: we roll him out there today for practice? So you know, 167 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: there is some injuries. There's some things you can push through. 168 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: You know, when you've you've got a quarterback. You know, 169 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: let's put the COVID issue aside. But dealing with a risk, 170 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: you need to take care of that now. I mean, 171 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: you look at what the Rams are dealing with and 172 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford pushed through an elbow injury last year. He 173 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: had surgery and he's stal dealing within training camp. And 174 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want something like that going into 175 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: the season because it's not going to go away. You 176 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: don't have an opportunity to take time off during the season. 177 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: Never want to see a player miss time. Here's head 178 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury on whether he is concerned with as 179 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: much time Kyler has missed if he hadn't been in 180 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: the same system for the number of years, I would 181 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: be a bit more concerned. Anytime you're trying to build 182 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: your offense and build camaraderie and get the timing down. 183 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: You'd love friend to be out there, but everybody deals 184 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: with something like this, and we've kept him locked in 185 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: mentally and he'll continue to do that. I'll say this, 186 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: he is right there next to the quarterbacks and as 187 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: I mentioned, calling plays, especially in those two minutes situations. 188 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: So Kyle Murray dealing with They risked Colt McCoy some 189 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: arm soretists, Trace McSorley will get the starts on Friday. 190 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: You're going to see a lot of Jared Garantino as well, 191 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback that they signed after a rookie mini camp. 192 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: So those are your two main quarterbacks probably Friday against 193 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: the Bengals. We'll see what happens with the nationally televised 194 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: game in the Baltimore Ravens. Could that be enticing enough 195 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray to say, Hey, I want at least 196 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: a series national TV. And don't forget Kyle those that night, 197 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna get the alternate black helmets as well, and 198 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: you know how much players like looking good on national TV. Yeah, 199 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a definite possibility. I mean, you know, 200 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: in the end, it's an entertainment business and it's an 201 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: opportunity on primetime. You don't want to turn fans off 202 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: by a preseason game that's on primetime. You want to 203 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: put on a good show for the fans, for the 204 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: people who aren't in our market that don't know about 205 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. You know, you get this opportunity with the 206 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: national audience to kind of show where you're at. You know, 207 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: obviously it's again, it's not going to be like a 208 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: regular season game, but it would be nice for at 209 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: least a series to get, you know, a lot of 210 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: our players that we're counting on the regular season out 211 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: there and just kind of show the fans around the country, 212 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: you know what we have and get that level of 213 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: respect early in the season when the starters aren't playing well. 214 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: That certainly opens up the door for a lot of 215 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: the young talents and when we come back three pieces 216 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: of that defensive talent, specifically the outside linebackers.

As we 241 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: continue here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by 242 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: SIK get your seats in a seats Craig reel Loew 243 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: and Kyle Vnebosch, and please be joined here by Outside 244 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: Linebackers Coach Charlie Bullen here or fourth season third as 245 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: the outside linebackers coach. And let's not waste any time, Charlie, 246 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: let's just dive right in the question that we have 247 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: when I say we fans media is about the pass rush. 248 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: Do you have the same questions that we have as 249 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: far as where this pass rush is going to come 250 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: from this season? Of course, I mean, you know, obviously 251 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: the reason I have that question is he lost a 252 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: great player, franchise sack leader and Chandler Jones, and there's 253 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: there's never a guarantee replacing anybody, but especially a player 254 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: like that. So the question is absolutely valid. And you 255 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: know we're gonna need guys to step up. The good news, 256 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, for us as a team and you know 257 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: for me as a coach, as I feel good about 258 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: the guys we have um who are going to have 259 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity to you know, step up and fill that role, 260 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: you know. And the veterans, you know, Marcus obviously, but 261 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: Devon Knard and Dennis, you know, those guys will lead 262 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: the way and they've they've had a strong start to camp. 263 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: Uh Dennis looks really good. You know. Last year was 264 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: coming off the injury and he missed training camp, you know, 265 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: and it's hard to get your feel in your timing 266 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: in in season, which is what he had to do 267 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: last year. And uh so now getting his training camp 268 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: work has been great for him, you know. And then 269 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: after that, we've got some promising young players. Victor de 270 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: McKagan year two, he looks good. And then uh the 271 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: rookies um, Cam Maja and Jesse Um, you know, and 272 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: they got a lot of a lot of promise, some 273 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: good traits, some good characteristics, you know, so we'll see 274 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: how those developed. But they at least fit right in 275 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: with the culture of the room which started, you know 276 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: years ago with you know, Chandler, Hassan, Marcus, you know, 277 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: Dennis and DK. These young guys have that mentality from 278 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: a toughness and work ethics standpoint. So we always feel 279 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: like if you have those two things, your traits have 280 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: a chance to develop. Yeah, I think me personally and 281 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people on the outside are really intrigued 282 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: by these younger players and what they could potentially add. UM. 283 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: You know, can you tell me a little bit about 284 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: each one, UM, what you see in their game, how 285 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: they potentially rush the quarterback, maybe a camp or a 286 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: player that you can see them envision being um and 287 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: whether you know any of these younger players that you 288 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: have are really starting to separate themselves in flash here 289 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: in practice. Yeah, you know, starting with Cam, I'll go 290 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: on draft order here. Uh. Starting with Cam. He we 291 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: really haven't had a comp like him since I've been here, 292 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: but he has a good combination of size, strength and 293 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: quick twitch. Um, you know, not quite the flexibility maybe 294 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: to bend on edges like some of the smaller guys 295 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: who can rush the pastor, but he has that that, 296 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, unique combination. So that's Cam. Maj is longer 297 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: and leaner than Cam. Cam's up around two sixty. Maj's 298 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: mid two forties, low two forties, depending on the training 299 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: camp load that day. So he's he has length, quickness, 300 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: and flexibility. He can bend down the edge, you know, 301 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: his thing will be can he win with power? And 302 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: I always say you have to be able to win 303 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: with power in this league to win consistently. If you're 304 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: a one trick pony off the edge, the tackles can 305 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: set for that, play to it and just run you by. 306 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: So you have to be able to win with power. 307 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be old school bull rush hat 308 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: in hands. I'm stronger than you, but you know, for 309 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: someone like maj the hope and thought is that he 310 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: wins with speed on the edge, gets them to lean 311 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: and now he can with angles and leverage and timing, 312 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: can work some push by power as opposed to just 313 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: raw strength power. So that's kind of his skill set. Then. 314 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: Jesse Luketa is just an absolute bowling ball, naturally strong, 315 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: power based rusher, and he's come out of camp rushing 316 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: with power, which has been nice, and now his things 317 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: now he's getting the tackles to set for that. That'll 318 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: open up some of his edge work. And Jesse played 319 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: an inside linebacker predominantly in college, so he's still kind 320 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: of feeling his way out, but he definitely has the 321 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: trades to develop. We had a chance to hear from 322 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: my jay on Monday, and he mentioned him and Cameron 323 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: Thomas being lined up next to each other on the 324 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: field at the same time. Quote, that package is nasty. 325 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: Then he continued, we run it, and I'm not gonna 326 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: say too much. He stopped himself, which is probably the 327 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: good thing. But what do you like about those two 328 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: next to each other and the rule of the difference 329 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: that they bring as far as skill set, Well, the 330 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: beauty of that is, you know, you have two you 331 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: have two edge guys aligned on the same side, and 332 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: we can that's the beauty of the personnel. We have 333 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: the packages we have with Vans, nothing's out of question. 334 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: We can get to a lot of different looks. I mean, 335 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: that's what when of Vans is calling cards is a 336 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: coordinated We have a lot of multiple fronts. So in 337 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: the in the situations where Cam and Magierre together, you 338 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: have two edge guys who have edge ability, so they 339 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: don't know which one's going to stay out. They got 340 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: a set for speed, but Cam also has experienced rushing 341 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: on the inside, so he can end up working inside 342 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: from that edge alignment, you know. And now you got 343 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: two guys relatively lined up in the same area, attacking 344 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: from different angles. So present some problems for the offensive 345 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: line and they're set angles and that type of thing. 346 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: And you know, if Cam ends up being the guy 347 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: rushing inside, he has experienced doing that and he's done 348 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: a nice job in camp already with those interior rushes. 349 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: So I mean you you were with Advance in Miami. 350 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: I'm just curious about how the process game day goes. 351 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: Are you when we see you guys twisting and stunting, 352 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: is that a part of a blitz package or do 353 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: you have freedom up with the line of scrimmage to 354 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: study protections and dictate what type of twists and stunts 355 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: you're running based upon what you see on a given play. 356 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: Do you just have a rush call where you guys 357 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: can dictate what you do or is everything coordinated with 358 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: the guys on the back end and how you do 359 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: your stunts? Yeah? We uh both. They can be parts 360 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: of pressures from vans. You know, if the whole call 361 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: is a pressure, they got to run a certain pattern 362 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: that's locked in in terms of the rush stunts. You 363 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: know that that is both as well. They have the 364 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: freedom out there to call things that they've worked and 365 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: wrapped and they anticipate. We also have the ability to 366 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: call some things in from the sideline. If me and 367 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, Matt Burke are d line coach, if we're 368 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: seeing something protection wise, we have the ability to relay 369 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: that in and adjust if needed. But I'm always I'm 370 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,719 Speaker 1: always for they call it on the field. I mean, 371 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: they're out there, you know, they're they're veterans, you know, 372 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: and you know, Kyle, once you get into a rhythm 373 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: with one of your teammates, that's that's better than anything. 374 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: So that's the hope is that they can eventually get 375 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: to that, you know, and not need much from the sideline. Yeah, exactly, 376 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: We're on board here, Charlie Bulling, outside linebackers coach here 377 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals red seat reports. You brought up Dennis 378 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: Gardek initially, and we all point to twenty twenty when 379 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: he had those seven sacks season and down year, but 380 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: that was still coming off the ACL injury. He's looked very, 381 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: very quick in drills and even on eleven on eleven 382 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: out here at training camp. How much was twenty twenty 383 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: an anomaly? How much was it? Well, now we found 384 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: something in a special teams demon that was an inside linebacker. 385 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: Let's try him outside and maybe we can rediscover what 386 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: he was able to do in twenty twenty. Yeah, I 387 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: don't think twenty twenty was an anomaly at all. I 388 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: mean when you evaluate the trades and how he won, 389 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't do that unless you're a real rusher. 390 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: I think last year, coming back from the ACL he 391 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: had to feel his way through it. That was part 392 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: of it. And the other thing with Chandler and Marcus, 393 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't get as many edge rush opportunities 394 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: as he did the year before, So that's part of it. 395 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: And you know, so that the other element is the 396 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: numbers weren't what they were. But if you look at 397 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: him as a rusher on what he did on the interior, 398 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: running games and that type of thing he was he 399 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: was productive. He did his job at a high level 400 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: and disrupted inside opened up lanes for other rushers. And 401 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: so if you look at that as the as the benchmark, 402 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: he was productive last year. You know, on his own 403 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: in the one on one situations, you know, it's probably 404 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: just feeling his way back from the injury. The other player, 405 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: Knar has really been more of the set the edge 406 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: kind of guy. Will he be more rushing like he 407 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: was with the Lions, he just didn't seem to have 408 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: really been able to kind of fit in with that 409 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: pass rush, at least recently. Yeah, I mean I think 410 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: that's a testament to the people in the room. There's 411 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: been some high level players in there obviously, but yeah, 412 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean DK can rush's he's produced in his career 413 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: and he still can produce, so he will have a 414 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: chance to be out there more as a rusher. Yeah, 415 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: I saw him. Curious about how like your meeting rooms go. 416 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: It's really impressive to me is over the last two years, 417 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: outside linebackers have accounted for fifty sex and you've had 418 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: three different players at outside linebacker that have had double 419 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: digit sacks in the last two years. You at the 420 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: start of the season, like, now, do you talk about 421 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: your goals both as an individual, Here's where I see you, 422 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: Here's what I want you to shoot for, Here's what 423 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: our group should get, or do you just kind of 424 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: take it as it comes. We talk about goals as 425 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: a group, not necessarily numbers or achievements, but more our 426 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: culture and style of play. You know, we do know 427 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: what the numbers have been, and we just feel like 428 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: if we continue to play the way that we play 429 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: and the guys that have gone before them, you know, 430 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: the standard they set. If the next guys come up 431 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: and continue to build on that culture, then those numbers, 432 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: numbers will come affecting the quarterback with the rush obviously 433 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: could help the back end as well. How much are you? 434 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you're all working together, but looking at all? Right, 435 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: if we can get to that quote back quicker, then 436 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: they've got less time to look, and obviously the guys 437 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: have less time to cover the wide receivers out there. 438 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: You kind of work in tandem. I don't know, it's 439 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: like the chicken in the egg. What comes first? You 440 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: need good pass rush or good secondary. Yeah, for sure, 441 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: they work hand in hand. There's a couple couple one 442 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: liners on that, you know, the cornerstones or a three 443 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: four defense. Our rushers in corners. You know, every good 444 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: three four over the history of the game has had 445 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: both of those. And then we like to say it's 446 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: a rush between the pass rushing coverage. Can we get 447 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: home before their coverage breaks down and they cover? Can't 448 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: they cover long enough to let us get home? So 449 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: we definitely operate accordingly knowing that that's how they work together, 450 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: and the passing game, at the end of the day, 451 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: is all about timing. So a good rush, a good 452 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: coverage is not always an resulting in an interception or sack. 453 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: Is did we disrupt the timing? And so our our 454 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: goal as a rush unit is we got to do that. 455 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: If it results in a sack, great, But we can 456 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: move the quarterback off the spot, get them to you know, 457 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: reset in the pocket, or take his eyes off his 458 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: primary read that type of thing. So for sure they 459 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: work together. So talked to large degree about Saxon. I 460 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 1: could talk about rushing the quarterback all day, but you know, 461 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: one of the things that kept popping up last year 462 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: was just some of the holes in the run defense. 463 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: And is there certain things that you're doing adjustment wise, 464 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: alignment wise, scheme wise to account for that. I mean, 465 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: the outside linebackers are a huge part of that, setting 466 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: a hard edge in the run game being a part 467 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: of that front. Is there certain things that you're doing 468 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: in camp this year a little bit different to emphasize 469 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: stopping the run, putting teams in second, in third, and long, 470 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: to give yourself an opportunity to rush the quarterback. I 471 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: would say, you know, technique wise, I think you know, 472 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: it's a continuation of training the techniques that we've we've 473 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,239 Speaker 1: trained you know for a long time, but we have 474 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: put an emphasis on just hearing the call, getting the call, 475 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: and executing at all level veterans on down, you know, 476 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: and sometimes younger players who had to play last year, 477 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: you know, as they're getting a field for the scheme 478 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: and that type of thing, some of the looks that 479 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: they see or reactionary elements of the game that they're 480 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: exposed to can be ought, you know, for them. So 481 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: I think some of that was you know, just younger 482 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 1: guys working through it. But you know, we just feel 483 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: like if we keep pushing, you know, with more time 484 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: on task, well we'll be fine having fun out there. 485 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: Of course, it's a great time of year. It's all ball, 486 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: all the time. Charlie, we appreciate it. We can keep 487 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: you for the entire hour here, all the rest of 488 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: the hour here, but I know you got a lot 489 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: of work to do, but we appreciate a couple of minutes. 490 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: Absolutely appreciate you, guys. Charlie Bullen, outside linebackers coach for 491 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: your Arizona Cardinals. When we come back. More from Cardinals 492 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: training camp, Powered by Cox here on the Arizona Cardinals 493 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: Radio Network. JJ Watt in the backfield with the takedown 494 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: penetration on the backside, that is J J Watt, baby, 495 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: tip and complete. It was tipped and it was JJ 496 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: Watter Who's got it? And the Cardinals stop him on 497 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: purchdown again. I think I'm always on, but he is 498 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: always on. Like I've never seen that guy not be 499 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: dialed in, intense, locked in, know the right thing to say, 500 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: go as hard as he can go. It's like I 501 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: don't know some superhuman type qualities that he's got. Just 502 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: didn't make sure JJ Watt is on the field for 503 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: all seventeen games this season. That's the key, as we 504 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: walcome me back here to the Cardinals Red Sea Report 505 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: presented by SIK get your seat in a seat Craig 506 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: Reel Lou and Kyle Vannibosh. Special thanks by the way 507 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: to outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen for joining us here 508 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: and giving us a couple of minutes of his time, 509 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: specifically to talk about those young players Cameron Thomas, my 510 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: j Sanders and Jesse Looketta. Looking forward to seeing those 511 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: guys in action on Friday. We will not see J. J. 512 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: Watt in action on Friday. Haven't been told anything, Kyle, 513 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: but I'm not expecting to see Number ninety nine on 514 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: the football field. I'd much rather see him week one 515 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: because let's not forget he was only on the field 516 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: for seven games they won all seven last year. Didn't 517 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: have the stats, but teams have to account for Number 518 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: ninety nine, even at his age where he is as 519 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: far as experience, because he can still make things difficult 520 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: for offenses. Now there's no question he is. You know, 521 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: at least in my lifetime, he's on the mount rushmore 522 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: of defensive linement. I mean, he He's done some amazing 523 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: things throughout his career, and you know, going into a 524 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: season healthy, you still expect that type of production from him. 525 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: I mean, you talked about how because of the shoulder injury, 526 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: and you know his remarka will come back to make 527 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: it back for the playoff game. He only played seven games, 528 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: but even prior to that, he was dealing with an 529 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: injury and training camp and it took him some time, 530 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean to get his legs back to get a 531 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: field for the game. And you could really see prior 532 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 1: to that shoulder injury he was really starting to make 533 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: a bigger impact on games and getting back to his 534 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: old form. So it's important. I mean, you see it 535 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: out here in training camp. You see him doing some 536 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: of the things that only JJ Watt can do, so 537 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: a lot like we talked about with Kyler, you know, 538 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: it's vitally important that he enters that first regular season 539 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: game feeling good, feeling healthy, and ready to be the 540 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: JJ Watt that we all hope he can be. And 541 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: it's been fun watching Watt during eleven on eleven because 542 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: from field level you can see him go one on 543 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: one against Kelvin Beacham or and then sometimes if there 544 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: is an outside linebacker to Watt's left, Beecham takes the 545 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: outside linebacker and all of a sudden, Watt is moving 546 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 1: inside against Will Hernandez. And we know earlier in training 547 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: camp number seventy six and number ninety nine mixed it 548 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: up a little bit, but those are valuable reps. I 549 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: don't know if it's one hundred percent full speed, but 550 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: certainly getting the body ready for week one, yeah, absolutely. 551 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: And you know one of the things that he can 552 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: do that other people can do, he can rush from 553 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: anywhere across the offensive line, and we had talked about 554 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: this before. You know, he can rush as a defensive 555 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: end as good as any defensive end in the league. 556 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: He can rush from a three technique as good as anybody. 557 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: He can line up head up on a center. I mean, 558 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: he can do just about anything and take advantage of matchups. 559 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: And you talked about how teams need to account for 560 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: him or they're gonna be in trouble. Well, you don't 561 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: know where he's gonna be. I mean, you can draw 562 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: up stuff on the blackboard. You can talk about stuff 563 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: on the sideline and anticipate, Okay, we need to slide 564 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: our protection this way because this is where he's been 565 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: lining up, and then he comes out the next series 566 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: and he's lined up someplace completely different players like that. 567 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: You know, with that type of versatility, you can do 568 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: a lot of different things with This is watts twelfth season. 569 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: His teammate Zach Allen entering his fourth season. It is 570 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: a contract year. You can talk about help with Zach 571 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: Allen as well. Did not miss a game last season 572 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: due to injury for the first time in his career, 573 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: but that second half of the season, those last handful 574 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: of games he was playing on a bad ankle, in fact, 575 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: the end of one offseason ankle surgery. But now Zach 576 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: Allen says he is about as good as he's felt ever. 577 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,239 Speaker 1: Looking back at last season, just how bad was that 578 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: ankle After playing a game, I legitimately couldn't walk on Monday, 579 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, so I would be you know, my girlfriend 580 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: would have to help me down the stairs and then 581 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, just it was kind of a mess. But 582 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, just trying to get it ready, and towards 583 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: the end of the season, I wasn't even practicing, you know, 584 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 1: it would be kind of hopefully that Friday practice at 585 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: least get some reps in. Now it's it's amazing, and 586 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: I just I feel like an athlete again. You know. 587 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: Last year is kind of like the fact that I 588 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: was able to kind of do what I did with 589 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: it was you know, obviously gave me some confidence about, 590 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: you know, playing this league. And that's why I'm so 591 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: excited about this year. You know, knock on wood, stay 592 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: healthy and just show what I could do with all 593 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: this progress. Zach Allen earlier the Big Red Rage. He 594 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: also when he addressed the media, Kyle talked about tape 595 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: basically holding his ankle together. It was bone on bone, 596 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: not much like Evince there. Yet he still was very productive. 597 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: And I can only imagine looking across the table you 598 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: as far as how many times maybe that happened in 599 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: your career where you you play every single snap that 600 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: your numbers called upon, You're there every single Sunday, yet 601 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: it's going to take you until Thursday Friday of the 602 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: following week to get ready for that week's game. Yeah, 603 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the things the average fan 604 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: doesn't completely understand. You know, there's plenty of people sitting 605 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: at home saying, hey, I could do that, I could 606 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: do that. You couldn't. I mean, players will recover or 607 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: not fully recover, but they will play through an injury 608 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: that it might take the normal person, you know, four months, 609 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: six months to recover from. It's just part of the game. 610 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: It's what you do, and you know, and a lot 611 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: of that those stories go untold. And talking specifically about 612 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: Zach Allen, you talked about, you know, he dealt with 613 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: the ankle last year, he dealt with the neck the 614 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: year before. You know this, like you talked about, he's 615 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: entering a contract year. He has never really been fully 616 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: healthy and you know, getting him fully healthy because we've 617 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: seen flashes, we've seen him make big plays, we've seen 618 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: him be consistent for a game or maybe back to 619 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: back games, but we haven't seen that through his career 620 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: here with the Arizona Cardinals. Again, just drawing on my experience, 621 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, I blew out both my knees my first 622 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: four years in the league, and I was not a 623 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: good player. I was just a guy. But once I 624 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: got healthy, you know, that's when my career took off. 625 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: And I can kind of see that with him. You 626 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: see him have that spring in his step. You see 627 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: him being explosive today at practice. I saw him run 628 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: down the screen thirty yards down the field. Those are 629 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: the types of things you can do when you feel good, 630 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: and so you know, I really expect a big jump 631 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: for him. I expect that consistent play. I expect those 632 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: flash plays. And you know, we talked about with coach 633 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: Burke last week and he was one of the players 634 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: that came up. You know, for him, this could be 635 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: his year he could take that big step because you know, 636 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: basically playing on one leg, he should be commended for 637 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: what he did. It doesn't get talked about enough, but 638 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: for him to feel healthy. I really expect him to 639 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: be a really good player and contribute to this defense 640 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: this year. Zach Allen, coming off a career year, could 641 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: potentially Lucky fote To and or Rochard Lawrence take those 642 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: jumps as Zach Allen did in his third year. Pote 643 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: Too and Rochard Lawrence twenty twenty fourth round draft picks 644 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: still kind of waiting for one or both to really 645 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: have that breakthrough season. For Lawrence, it's just been a 646 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: question of health last season ay calf injury. He missed 647 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: six games, same injury he dealt with the season before. 648 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: Lawrence understands what he needs to do to be able 649 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: to be a consistent player that the Cardinals hope they drafted. 650 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: That's the number one thing is just consistency that I'm 651 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: looking forward to doing this year. It's just being more consistent. 652 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: I feel like when I am playing, I am one 653 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: of the best nose tackles. But if I can just 654 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: be more consistent and stay healthy, That's the number one 655 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: thing that's on my mind this year. Consistency is a 656 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: lot for any young player, Kyle, because you have to 657 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: be available one and then do it not just for 658 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: one week or every other week, but every time you're 659 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: on that football field. Yeah, And consistency isn't just hey, 660 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: I've been in my gap the entire game. It's about 661 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: making plays, it's about being an impact type player. And 662 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: it's again looking back at last week, it's part of 663 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: the conversation we had with coach Burke is you know, 664 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: I see and he sees the big step that this 665 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: defense can take him And we have all these dynamic players. 666 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: We have tremendous safety tandem. We have linebackers that can 667 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: make plays all over the field. But the biggest step 668 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: that this defense can take is if we get more 669 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: of a contribution from the inside guys. And that you know, 670 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: again talking to coach Bowland, what's talking about, Hey, which 671 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: one of these young guys can step up and get 672 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: hits on the quarterback, get sacks on the quarterback. Nothing 673 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: kills an offense more than inside pressure and quick inside pressures. 674 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean we see that twice a year, last time, 675 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: three times against the Rams when you have I mean, 676 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: obviously you know Aaron Donald is not on this roster, 677 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: but we have guys that have that ability. They're quick. 678 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: Talking about Richard Lawrence, I mean he is an explosive, explosive, powerful, 679 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: compact player and if he can, you know, get that 680 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: quick penetration or even put a guard in the quarterbacks lap, 681 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: it affects how offenses are able to operate. Looking at 682 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: some of those younger players as Wall specifically with Friday's 683 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: preseason game, Michael Dogbee, Manny Jones and undrafted rookie free agents, 684 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: and just watching some of those defensive line drills and 685 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: how coach Burke preaches the quickness as far as being 686 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: able to be as small as possible as you can 687 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: work around those defenders or those offensive linemen in front 688 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: of you. Something to look forward to on Friday again, 689 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals at the Bengals four thirty kickoff, twelve thirty pregame 690 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,439 Speaker 1: coverage here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, and don't 691 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: forget the regular season right around the corner.

This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. I 697 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: want a good job at the mortum attack right there 698 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: and saying like DJ Humphrey's got a nice block. DJ 699 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: Humphries pumping his chest and his fist and after the 700 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: Cardinals move the sticks. Yeah, DJ Humphries really has been 701 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: a plus. Has a hole in the middle to the 702 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: thirty five yard line. Huge hole. Great job by DJ 703 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 1: Humphrey's At the point, have you told me this fifty 704 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: in that first you know, I mean that first rookie minicap, 705 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: that distance is gonna be the case eight years later, 706 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: I probably would have laughed at you, you know what 707 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: I mean. But build on this side of him, and 708 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: it's definitely sweet man. Being able to you know, secure 709 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: my future here and know that I'll be able to 710 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: be here. I always wanted to play for my team, 711 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: So knowing it, I'm able to be in a physician 712 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: to continue to keep that dream of eyes. Excuse me, 713 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: hear players talk about it all the time, that second contract, Well, 714 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: how about a second contract extension with the team that 715 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: drafted you. Tip with a cap to DJ Humphreys for 716 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 1: getting that extension and Kyle he did it himself, sat 717 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: down across the table from Generalmanders, Steve Khan, and negotiate 718 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: that deal. He did admit that he probably wouldn't do 719 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: it again, but at least wanted to go through at 720 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: once post playing career could kind of get some business experience. 721 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: It's impressive. You know, when I was playing, I couldn't 722 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 1: even balance my own check book. I could only focus 723 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: on one thing. So for him to do that, that 724 00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: is impressive and it's good. I mean, he's such a 725 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: not only good player, such a good locker room guy. 726 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: He's become one of those vets that the younger players 727 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 1: turn to um and you know, to have some sort 728 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: of continuity. You know, there's gonna be you know, not 729 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: to look too far down the road because we're talking 730 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: about this season, but there's gonna be some changes in 731 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: this offensive line. I don't know exactly where, but you know, 732 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: an infusion of a lot like Coach Bowling was talking 733 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: about with his room. It's a good mix of vets 734 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,479 Speaker 1: and young players. That's what we're seeing with the old line. 735 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: And there's gonna be a bit of a changing of 736 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: the guard. But you have that stalwart m at really, 737 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: you know, other than probably quarterback, it's it's for most 738 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: teams one of the most important positions on the offense 739 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: and to have that consistency, have the guy you rely on, 740 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: and honestly, you know he's his play has ascended throughout 741 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: his career and he's still in the prime of his career. 742 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: You could put Humphreys' name in ink when you talk 743 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: about that starting left tackle spot. In fact, the rest 744 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: of the projected starting lineup. According to offensive line coach 745 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: and run game coordinator Sean Kugler, the starting group is 746 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: just about set. You know, I think our starting five's 747 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 1: close to being set. They're still guys battling for spots, 748 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: but most of the battles are for backup spots and 749 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: trying to be that seventh or eighth guy on game 750 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: day and then making the active rosters. And again we 751 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of really good battles at those spots, 752 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,240 Speaker 1: and I couldn't tell you which one of those guys 753 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: is gonna stand out. It's really going to depend on 754 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: the preseason games. Well, let's talk about it. Left to right. 755 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: You got Humphries, Pugh, Rodney Hudson, Will Hernandez, and Kelvin Beecham. 756 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: Those are your projected starting five. The question now that 757 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: Kugler alluded to is the backups your draft picks, Mark 758 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 1: Keith Hayes, Lassida Smith. It's two that I'm looking forward 759 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: to seeing in game action on Friday to see whether 760 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,959 Speaker 1: they have something that this team can count out. Maybe 761 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: not this season, Kyle, but down the road, because aside 762 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: from Humphries and Hudson, those are your only two starting 763 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 1: offensive linemen that are signed past next season. Yeah, that's 764 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking forward to. Um. You know, see 765 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: how these young guys do. I from what I've seen 766 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: in practice, they're doing a good job. I mean there's 767 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: been even today a number of times that the quarterback 768 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: had plenty of time but they had a clean pocket. 769 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: So you know, it seems like, you know, I'll tell 770 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: you this, getting the opportunity to be on the field 771 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: level for some of these practices. I love just standing 772 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: by coach Coogler and see how he works with his players. 773 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: What a great teacher. He does a tremendous job, especially 774 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: with the development of some of these younger players. While 775 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: there's a transition periods throughout practice and sometimes there's special 776 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: teams and around the league, you'll see the offensive linemen 777 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: all just kind of sit in a group and chat 778 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: about stuff. They're working non stop. Any chance they get, 779 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: Coach Coogler pulls them aside and they're working on them, 780 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: either their technique or working on their blocking assignments. So 781 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: it's a tremendous opportunity for these younger players to develop 782 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: and learn because, like he talked about, the starting lineup 783 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: is set and so they don't have to feel this 784 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: pressure that they're going to be thrown in early. But 785 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: they have an opportunity to learn not only from the Vets, 786 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,760 Speaker 1: but from one of the best teachers in the NFL. 787 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: Smith a three year's daughter at Virginia Tech, but playing 788 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: center for the first time in his career. Hayes, seventh 789 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: round draft pick out of Oklahoma, a left guard, and 790 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,720 Speaker 1: we've seen him get some run with the first team 791 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: when Justin Hugh has had a vet day or two. 792 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: So Markus Hayes and Lucida Smith keep an eye on. 793 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: We'll also get a chance to see in game action 794 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: for the first time wearing a Cardinals uniform, Will Hernandez 795 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 1: quickly becoming my favorite player on this Arizona Cardinals team. 796 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: And of course, the reunion with Sean Coogler, his college 797 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 1: head coach at Utah here's Will Hernandez on being back 798 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 1: with his head coach. He's taught me a lot since 799 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: I started playing football at the collegian level. So going 800 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 1: back to all that in those you tube days, a 801 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: lot of it was coming back and came back pretty quick. 802 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: And you know, obviously I love being coached by him. 803 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: You know, a great coach. Guys love him, and he's 804 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: made my transition a lot easier. Six three, three thirty two. 805 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: He's twenty six years old. We expect him to be 806 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: on the field a little bit on Friday. But here's 807 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: someone given his age and maybe you find something in him. 808 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 1: He's only signed for this season, but that reunion with 809 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: your college head coach who got you drafted in the 810 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: first place, and now all of a sudden, maybe a 811 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: jump start to your career. I'm excited to see what 812 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: Will Hernandez can do. Yeah, he's he's physical, you know, 813 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: just just a tough player. He's smart and you know 814 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: what I love is again hearing coach Coogler say our 815 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: old line is set. They we don't look at that 816 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: guard position and say, well, there's a couple of guys competing. 817 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 1: We hope one of them steps up and go and 818 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: wins the job. Because you look around the National Football League, 819 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: there's probably twenty five teams that their old line is 820 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: not set, that there is question marks at one of 821 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: those positions, and he solidified that guard spot. So you know, 822 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: we can feel good about this offensive line entering the 823 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 1: season and not have any question marks about you know, 824 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: this guy. We're hoping he steps up. He may be 825 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: a liability. You know, I feel good about this offensive 826 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 1: line entering, you know, going into playing against Kansas City 827 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: in Week one again, the preseason opener coming up on Friday, 828 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals at the Bengals for thirty is the kickoff. Curious 829 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: to see who else might emerge as far as some 830 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 1: depth in the cornerback room as well. When you have 831 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: Byrin Murphy, Marco Wilson, Antonio Hamilton, and Josh Jackson, those 832 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: are your experience guys. But can a Christian Matthew your 833 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: late round draft pick step up and Nate Brooks or 834 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: Jays Whittaker. Curious what happens on Friday? Maybe, Kyle, if 835 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: we don't see it, or if the front office doesn't 836 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: see it, is that a position now all of a 837 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: sudden that we get that time time sign which we 838 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: all anticipated having already happened, but hasn't happened as it yet. Yeah, 839 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: I think so. It seemed like, you know, it's it's 840 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: still an open competition. It's an opportunity for one of 841 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: these cornerbacks to step in and win the job. And 842 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet. You know, there's still is time. 843 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: But that's what the preseason games are for. You want 844 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: to see which guys are gonna take advantage of the 845 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: opportunity handed to him, and you know it all starts 846 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: on Friday four thirty is the kickoff twelve thirty.
