Horsh unleash the far. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:07.400 We know one thing, maybe the only thing about this season. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.760 It's not going to be easy. It can't be. It's 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:18.920 two thy twenty where nothing is easy. Ron Wolfley the 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:23.640 Cardinals going to Carolina. We know what happened. We also 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.040 know there's a second certainty right now and Larry for 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.560 cheryld will answer the question a little bit later, is 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.600 it or is it not? A must win? Going week 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.760 five into the New York Jets. You don't have that 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.800 cut ready, do you, Paul, You're not going to play 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.399 that your answer a little bit later, We're gonna hear 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.720 from Larry if you listen to me right now. I 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.080 want to listen to you in your response yet consider 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.200 of course, it's not a must win. It's not a 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.280 must win. But I'm just saying answer. I know, and 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.120 I understand that, But I think this is honestly the 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.720 situation where if you're a player, you gotta believe you 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.639 can win every game. I don't care what you're talking about. 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.840 You have to believe that you can go out onto 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.520 that field, no matter who you're playing, under what auspices, 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.560 under one day, what kind of conditions, you gotta believe 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.200 you can go out there and win a football game. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.440 And if you don't, you're you're really playing the wrong sport. 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.800 You really are, You're in the wrong profession ball because 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.400 you have to feel that way. Now again, do you 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.680 have a lot of games left? You got eleven games 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.400 after this game right here? Does it feel like the 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.359 downside for the Arizona Cardinals if they lost this game 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:36.240 would be massive? Yes? To answer your question, yes, and 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.160 that will agree. Is there upside to winning this game? No, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.440 not a lot, because you're highly expected, no to win 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.200 this game. But the downside, you're right, is steep. It 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.200 is vast. It's the Grand Canyon of downsides. There's no 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.640 doubt about that. Which leads us to this question Wolf, 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.720 because it seems incomprehensible that the Cardinals would go and 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.680 fall to an own four jets team that is now 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.040 miss and it's starting quarterback. But when you think about 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.040 the fact that the Lions loss was supposed to be 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.920 the wake up call, what do we now make of 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.920 the loss at Carolina? Yeah? And how concerning is what? 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.720 How fixable? How concerning is what you saw in those 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.840 four quarters at Carolina? Well, that's a great thing about it, Paulli. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.160 I think it is fixable. First of all, it's kind 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.200 of like your kids, Paul. You've got kids, right, of 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:26.880 course you do, right, do you have some kids? And 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.680 I've got kids as well, And sometimes you tell them 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.280 you don't do this, don't do this, and what do 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.519 they do? They do it? Right? They do it? And 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.760 many times do you have to tell him twice? Paul? 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.880 Sometimes do you have to tell him twice? Maybe? Even 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.640 three times, yes you do before they actually get it. 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.680 And I just think honestly that this team, with some 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.880 of the young leaders that they have on this team, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.200 and there are guys like Kyler Murray who's developing as 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.720 a quarterback, a franchise quarterback who's still developing his leadership skills, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.720 I do believe that they've got some leadership that probably 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.800 are going to play up to their competition and down 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.360 to their competition for a while. This is still a 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.880 team that is figuring out who they are. They're a 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:14.040 team in transition, as Dave Pash likes to say, and 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.760 a team that, guess what the opposition has been transitioning. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.800 They've been seeing some different defensive schemes. Now the Cardinals 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.000 have to counter. They have to CounterPunch what they've gotten 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.280 in terms of game plans against them the last couple 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.120 of weeks. So we'll see about that. And yes, as 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.120 we've been saying for a while now, it's byoe, bring 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.719 your own energy, And there's just something about going to 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.160 New York in the Big Apple, even minus the fans. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.680 We know how Chase Edmunds excelled a year ago. You're 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.240 just waiting to see who will be that guy who 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.800 will have that big game in the Big Apple. Maybe 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.480 it'll be Byron Murphy because he's our special guest. Tonight 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.799 on the Big Red Rage All presented by santan Ford 0:04:53.839 --> 0:05:03.160 and Gilbert we Are, santan Ford snaffed the Bridgewater four 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.640 man rush for Arizona. Bridgewater steps up, runs lap, fifteen 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.760 cuts right, picks up the first down ten five touchdown 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.760 Teddy Bridgewater, Redgewater showing his athletic ability on third down 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.200 and eight broke tackles and got into the end zone 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.279 for the touchdown. At least we didn't typle well. The 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.320 third downs for atrocious, and the red zones were even worse, 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.520 you know, And that's that's a big issue for our defense. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.560 But any defense, if you're not playing well on third downs, 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.120 which leads to more plays, which leads to more red 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.000 zone steps, now you're bad in red zone, which leads 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:40.640 to points. And what was really confounding for all of us, 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.360 no one more so than the defensive coordinator Vance Joseph 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.400 we heard from today and you heard right there on 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.880 the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.320 we Are santan Ford, is that the Arizona Cardinals defense 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.400 came into the Carolina game in Week four number one 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.080 in the NFL in third down defense, they came in 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.400 number two and red zone defense, Ron Wolf, I don't 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.640 have to tell you. And the final numbers were not 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.880 kind seven of eleven on third down Carolina, you want 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.920 to throw on fourth down conversions, they were eight out 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.800 of twelve and in red zone four out of five. Yeah. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.520 So whether that had to do with the intensity or 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.719 the failure to match their intensity, as Cliff Kingsbury said 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.600 after the game, whether I do a scheme, I'm not 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.200 exactly sure. I mean, in hindsight, Now, Wolf, how would 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.760 you diagnose some of the issues on defense? Well, Polly, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.960 it's interesting because just not on defense. I can't just 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.719 talk about defense. I have to talk about the entire 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.920 state of the team being ready to play that game. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.200 I think, Polly, you were there. I would agree you 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.440 were there. On the sideline or lack thereof, I would 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.360 agree with that. It's myopic to actually start and say, well, 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.880 the defense, what was the problem with the defense? It 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.240 was the team in all three phases, if you ask me, 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.760 it was the team that was not ready to play 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.599 that game. And if you want to look to see 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.200 if an offensive unit is ready to play. You go 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.839 ahead and you look at the line of scrimmage, and 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.799 you watch how the big guys come off the ball. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.320 You watch how they come off the ball if you 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.560 want to watch how a defense plays and if they're 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.400 redder to actually start a football game. You watched the 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.720 line of scrimmage and you watched tackling, and oh my goodness, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:21.560 the tackling was horrific. In a word, at least a 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.800 dozen miss tackles, you would say, yeah, at least listener. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.320 We counted more like fifteen sixteen somewhere in their ball. Well, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.200 one hundred and sixty eight yards rushing for a Carolina 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.520 team minus Christian McCaffrey. Heard the highlight Teddy Bridgewater going 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.040 eighteen yards. That's his first rushing touchdowns since he suffered 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.440 the horrific in near career ending knee injury summer at 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.840 twenty sixteen. He also threw twenty six to thirty seven 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.200 two seventy six two touchdowns. He did have the pick, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.440 and so all that being said, on both sides of 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.480 the balls you mentioned Wolf Kyler Murray was asked this 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.240 week about what he thought that Carolina tape revealed gotta 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.880 be more physical. They were, you know, they really just 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.000 they were more physical than us. And when he came 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.280 down to it, they played harder than us. You know, 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.000 they flew around better than us, and ultimately, at the 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:12.680 end of the day, they wanted more than us. And 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.520 you know, I think that was pretty evident on Sunday week. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.440 That was the bad news a week for the good 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.640 news is once again it's fixable. You can attrust it, right, Yeah, absolutely, Polly, 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.640 But this is so important that you get your leader, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.360 You get Kyler Murray up in front of everybody, up 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.040 in front of the world, saying this is what happened. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.120 We got out physical, right, they they beat us, they 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.480 played harder than we did. That is so important, Paul, 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.040 It really is, because listen, there are many things that 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.320 will beset you in life. There are many obstacles that 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.960 you have to get over in life. But Paul, if 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:51.920 you don't identify those obstacles, if you don't acknowledge those obstacles, 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.760 you're never gonna get over it. You'll never get better. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.319 And this is the reason why it's so important that 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.800 Kyler Murray is not only a de fact team leader, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.199 but also a guy that is pointing it out, saying 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.000 this was the issue, and the issue was they played 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.280 harder than we did and they were more physical. And 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.920 he's telling the truth, and that is so important for 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.440 every guy that's in that locker room to hear what 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.679 he's saying, absorb it, and then do something about it. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:25.840 And look, we've all seen athletes and teams in any 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.640 sport that can accept the loss to some degree. I 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.520 have seen none of that this week. Kyler Murray was 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.800 not in a good mood. He didn't appreciate some of 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.000 the pointed questions about how the offense wasn't very vertical 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.360 and was more horizontal. Patrick Peterson knew want to hear 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.880 a lot about some of the passing yards today. Larry 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.360 Fitzgerald was very blunt. So I'm guessing Wolf that the 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.400 film sessions and I mean some of what's going on 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.480 behind the scenes that we're not privy to, have not 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.360 been pleasant this week. That's my guests, Paully. That is 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.560 really a cellient observation from you, and I'm not trying 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.520 to even rip you this time that I mean that 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.559 really is they might be on edge because of what 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.600 they heard in that film role Oh, there's a really 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.839 good possibility ball. Maybe they did get lit up. I mean, 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.720 do you want me to go through some of the 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.199 numbers if you're the defense. Carolina went on scoring drives 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:24.000 of thirteen, nine, ten, eight, and fifteen plays, four drives 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.440 of seventy five or more yards, time of possession thirty 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.840 seven plus to twenty three. There was a key drive 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.320 you gave up in the end of the game. They 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.040 ended the third to the fourth quarter where they took 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.480 eight and a half minutes off the clock and then 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.720 they had the field goal made it a three possession game. Obviously, 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.400 we know about the lack of a run game, and 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.000 you couldn't get Kenyan Drake going two point seven yards 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.839 per carry only fifty five plays run on offense. There 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.360 is room for everyone to be salty after that game. Yeah, 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.080 no doubt about it. But this is a different NFL 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.480 Pauli today. It really is. Right. It's not just where 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.200 the Arizona Cardinals as well the Bruce Arians of the 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:03.440 league are dinosaurs. The most part. There's the coaching hard 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.560 and I'm gonna scream atch you and rip you up 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.520 hard and stud that just as gone by the wayside 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.559 in the game of football, and I think it had 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.880 to based on the dynamics of the game today. But 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.559 I don't know if they got lit up the way 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.920 they would have been nineteen eighty five. But something tells 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.760 me somebody got the red butt and started yelling. Heck, 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.679 even ten years ago, what would Ken Wizzen Hunt to 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.880 after a game like that? He would run a full practice, knockdown, 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.800 drag out practice on a Wednesday. He would put you 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.400 in full pads, full contact, and they would go, that's 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.560 unheard up these days. Hey, Paulie. I had a coach 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.559 that put the red dot on you on the film 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:49.120 and said, always remember, guys, the better man wins. Think 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.480 about that. And sometimes you got your face kited in 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.800 with the red dot Byron Murphy next to the big 0:11:54.800 --> 0:12:02.959 red rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert pass over 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.400 the middle on by Sims at the forty five and 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.920 dumped immediately by Murphy. Job right there by Murphy and 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:13.160 man cover Ylan Murphy really throwing throws it end zone 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.640 near side, broken up by Murphy. Was there against Taylor 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.480 Byron Murphy one on one in the back of the 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.240 end zone, made a play on the ball. Here it 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.600 is fourth and five of the Niners. On the sixteen 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.520 of the Cardinals Garoppolo. The pass throws to the right side, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.040 then complete, Murphy steps in front of the receiver and 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.559 knocks the ball down. The Cardinals takeover on downs with 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.960 thirty three seconds ago. Byron Murphy makes a play on 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:43.760 the pig. All that is big time. What a play 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:50.560 by Byron Murphy, Cardinals starter, first pick, second round twenty nineteen. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.680 One of only four rookie defenders a year ago to 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:58.040 start all sixteen games. He led the team with ten 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.040 passes defense. Ron Willfully A year a go and if 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.960 you want to keep going back in the hot tub 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.840 time machine, Scottsdale Zone, your Arizona Cardinals high school player 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:12.080 of the year's circa two fifteen. Local boy makes good 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.520 And if you remember in two fourteen, I love these 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.360 high school stats. I love to go back in time 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.439 and look at NFL guys and what they did in 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.040 high school. Twenty fourteen, when he was a teammate with 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.920 Christian kirk all Right at Swarow High School, they went 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.239 fourteen to oz with a state title, and they combined 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.680 for fifty seven total touchdowns. That's just stupid. But a 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.280 couple of high round picks on there to Bump, There 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.840 you go Byron Murphy joins us on the Big Red 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.440 Rage Scottsdale Zone. Byron, how we doing tonight, man, I'm 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.000 doing good. How you guys doing. We're doing great, buddy, 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.040 Thanks for joining us. Really appreciate it. How many times 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.800 when you're out and about, how many times do you 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.079 run in to be I know it's tough here in 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.199 twenty and twenty with a pandemic, but just in general, 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.040 when you're out and about, especially when you first arrived 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.240 a year ago, you run into people maybe you went 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.000 against in high school or at least claim to have 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.520 played against you in high school or in youth leagues, 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.480 and then they sort of they share their anecdotes of 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.319 how dominating you guys were throughout the youth leagues around Arizona. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.120 Oh yeah, youth league around Arizona. You know, you always 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.079 got guys that you know, you grew up playing with, 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.040 our other teams you have friends with. So it's just 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.080 great to be, you know, back home and you know, 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.880 get to talk about you guys as depths that you 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.720 guys you know, we always have plan and me being 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.600 able to talk to them guys about being at the 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.880 next level of a good journey for me. But like 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.920 I said, having the youth teams in Arizona is always competitive. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.680 Announced this day, we're always yeah, still thinking up with 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.960 friends to the vent. So Byron. I grew up in 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.480 Orchard Park, New York, the village that actually has the 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.680 Bill Stadium in it, right, Orchard Park, New York, a 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.040 suburb of Buffalo, and I always thought to myself, Man, 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.920 I wanted the Bills to draft me. That would have 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.240 been awesome to play in front of my hometown right 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.680 so to speak. Yet at the same time, there would 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.920 have been an awful lot of pressure you to go out. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.520 How do you feel about that? How does it feel 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.760 to be drafted by your hometown team? Is it more 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.400 pressure than anything else? I did think that really a 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.360 dream come true. You know, I grew up a Cardinals 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.560 fan here from Arizona. You know that was the biggest question. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.120 A lot of people say he's gonna have pressure staying 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:18.880 at home, But I just think it's a blessed guy 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.760 of all my family here. So I'm not really going 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.560 it's not going anywhere far anything like that. I'm comfortable 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.800 where I'm at, So I think it was a good fit. 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:27.880 And then, like I said, it was a blessed feeling 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.440 to stay home. You're around my family as well. Well. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.520 I cite you, guys. I had a fourteen year old 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.480 here and when it's over one hundred degrees doesn't want 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.280 to go to practice. I said, you know what, Byron 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.040 Murphy and Christian Kirk and d J. Foster all dealt 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.480 with it when they were growing up. So you get 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.480 out there and get to practice. So I hope you 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.160 don't mind. I used you. I used you guys as 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:48.600 a barometer. Okay, oh yes, sir, definitely, youth practices are 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.040 very high. So, Byron, how are you feeling your four 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.120 games into this season right now? Year two, how are 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.160 you feeling. I'm feeling great right now, you know. I 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.200 just I just games going on. When you got down 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.280 the first quarter, now on to the next. So body's 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.760 feeling good. Mindsets feeling good, just ready to keep working. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.440 I just think this team has suthing very special in me. 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.400 Like I said, we got to keep working agetting to it. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.080 But yeah, overall, just everything's great. Right now. Here's Patrick 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.560 Peterson this week talking about you and what he sees 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.520 in your future. Byron. He's always been a grinder, you know, 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.880 ever since he's gotten here last year. You know, the 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.120 game means a lot to Byron. You know, he wants 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.160 to make sure that he's in the best musician possible 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.640 to be successful. And it's only gonna get better for 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.640 him because the game is going to continue to slow 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.160 down for him. And I tell him that, you know, 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.480 each and every time we have an opportunity to talk, 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.080 you know, the skuy's a limit for Byron Um. You know, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.040 he has all the physical attributes, you know all you know, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.400 every athletic ability in the world that a cornerback needs 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.880 to be successful, you know, not just on him to 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.080 tap in into that and be consistent. So we know 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:57.960 you have the skill set. It sounds like you have 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.560 the work. I think what has been the biggest transition 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.280 for you into the NFL the past year and a half. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.520 I think I think P two said, you know, the 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.280 game kind of slowing down for me. I thought it 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.720 was very fast at the beginning, getting into my Playbock, 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.960 but going the biggest things, just watching film, getting those 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.240 small details together. But and again working with Pat p 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.359 you know, he's telling my game a lot. I was 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.199 just asking a question, You're gonna answer it, you know, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.800 answer the right way. For me, even when we're in film, 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.560 I just watched the footwork, like I said, all the 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.240 small details and just get that knowledge from a fat 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.439 like that. You know, it's a great, great fun to 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.479 have him in the room. Someone like that you can 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.919 learn from as well. But I just think he had 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.800 the game just slowed down for me this year, and 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.560 I just think that's the biggest thing I had about games. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.240 Just make sure, you know, just let's not overthink a 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.720 lot of things. Listen, Byron, I know you're a year 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.080 two and you're coming into the league, But do you 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.400 ever look ahead down the road and say, man, I'd 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.720 love to play ten years, I'd love to play twelve years, 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.119 I'd love to play fourteen years. I mean, do you 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.000 allow yourself to ever think this is the way I'd 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.119 like to go, this is the direction I'd like to go, 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.320 this is the kind a career I'd like to have. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:05.439 Do you ever allow yourself to ruminate about that? You know, 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.199 the biggest thing for me is I just know I 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:11.240 just can't see myself without football, So I hope it's forever, 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.000 you know what I mean? I hope it's forever, but 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.800 I know that when that day comes, you know, when 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.080 it's over. Hopefully it is fifteen years. You know, maybe 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.720 to play as long as I can, but as the 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.320 day you know, I'm never looking for me to come 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.320 out to that field, so I'll be there for thirty years. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:29.920 So maybe maybe coaching as well, Byron? Coaching is that something? Coaching? Yes, 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:35.080 definitely coaching as well. After I'm surprised, well, twenty games 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:36.879 into his career, you're already asking if he wants to 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.480 be a coach, But he does, so you know, he 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.439 saved your keystar on that question, right, But you know 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.360 what it's because Byron loves football. He loves football. Listen 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.680 to what he just said right there, right Byron, I mean, 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.160 you can't imagine that I'll have a son so kind 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.119 of right now to teach him some stuff as well, 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:56.040 get him some tips. Love that. Nice congratulations Byron Murphy, 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.520 Cardinals Cornerback on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.159 Ford and Gilbert. All Right, so we'ls looking at the 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.359 horizon I'm looking at this week. Take us into the 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:08.200 meeting rooms. We speculated earlier that based on advance Joseph 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.879 and his well, his demeanor. I'm guessing there were some 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.800 unpleasant film sessions of sort this week. You tell us 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.639 in paints a picture, what it's been like the climate 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.640 around Cardinals facility. You know, the climate it's been the same. 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.560 You know obviously obviously you know the losses that we 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:25.840 have to take. We are all how to take this 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:27.600 man take out of the chain. But you know, nothing 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.920 really changed as much. You just know, look at looking 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:31.959 at itself, each other in the mirror, or look at 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.159 yourself in the mirror, I mean, and just you know, 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.520 just get back to work. You know, everything happens for 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.480 a reason, So I just think you got to go 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.000 on to the next game. Everybody has to be accountable 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.720 for hold every single person accountable on the team, and 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:45.640 like I said, the most important things, just be back 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.520 to work. Like I said, this team, you know, it's 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.720 a very special team. So I just know what we 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.800 can do. And you know it's just don't take everyone. 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.920 So everyone in the facility as well, So you're gonna 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.480 have to just keep grinding. And like I said, you 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.879 got a film room as well, but kind of you know, 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.399 take it under the chain and get your mistakes I 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:03.919 have the way learn from it and and move on. So 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.119 that's a bigger picture. Just keep moving on and just 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.760 working every day at Packers and getting better. Byron, as 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.199 you were watching the tape, how did you think you 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:16.280 played in this game? Obviously could have got my feet 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.639 down that pick, still holding out against myself because I 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:23.040 know I can make that play. Overall, I just think, 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.240 you know, my game could have been better at certain plays. 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.160 And like I said, I'm trying to learn from every 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:29.919 single day. So I'm getting my feeling. I'm just not 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.400
