00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: or you'd be behind bars. Yes, probably so so. Honestly,

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: I mean the guy really who's best equipped if it

19
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: comes to this, Because you never know each edition of

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: is its own and you never quite know, you know,

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: what sort of challenges around the next quarter, what sort

23
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: of opponent is waiting. But if there's somebody here really

24
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: equipped at this point too, I don't know, bite a kneecap,

25
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: or maybe bite the other kneecap, or you know, kick

26
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: you in the teeth or take a hunk audio, as

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: one NFL head coach said today at his introductory press

28
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Scott and we were that for ourselves coming up a

29
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. I'm just thinking, you know,

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: if there's one guy who is equipped to do that

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: at this point, I might have to step up into

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: that role. You know what, Paul was so funny because

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: as I was listening Dan Gambell and I know we're

34
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: going to talk about Dan Gambell and what he said

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: a little bit later in this broadcast, but as I

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: was listening to him, he was basically describing my career. Okay,

37
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: my career. Now listen. Here's the one thing about that though, Paul,

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: you know a little foreshadowing here. That's great. You're gonna

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: have a great special teams unit. There's no doubt about that.

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: But you know what, you have to get talented players

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: as well to go out that are good and you

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: could actually win games with you get. You gotta get

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: talented and tough ball. For all the things that Ron

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: Lfley did in his career that he's not proud of

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: then has set him to a Sunday confession. Forgive me, father,

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: for I have sinned on a weekly basis. We will

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: find out a little bit later whether he's ever quote

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: been somebody else's kneecap. So save that for later. Wolf

49
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: were much easier targets Paul then than Kneecap. Never forget that.

50
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: What we need to know is I've been informed by

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: the source that's better than Elias, better than any of

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: the analytics services or on Craig GRIGELU inform me earlier

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: today that the fact checker exactly mister information and mister historian,

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: that one year ago, last Friday, Larry Fitzgerald announced his

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: intentions for the twenty twenty season. Two years ago this

56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: Saturday he made his intentions clear, and the two years

57
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: before that he went into February. So Wolf as a

58
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: guy who has been tackled by Larry twice if you're

59
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: scoring at home twice. Do you have any inside info

60
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: on which way Larry's leaning know it, whether there might

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: be a year eighteen? You know, I know nothing, Okay,

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: nobody talks to me, Paul. I don't ask questions, and

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: nobody talks to me. I have no idea. I've been

64
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: saying Larry Fitzgerald is going to retire over the last

65
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: three years, and every time he has come back. So

66
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: as I've said before, and I'm going to continue to

67
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: this Mantrapaul, He's going to retire. This is it for

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. It's all sudden on fancy. We know that,

69
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: and hopefully he'll come back once again. Well, reportedly he

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: has a new receivers coach. I don't know if that

71
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: makes a difference, but Sean Jefferson is a gay Sea

72
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Jefferson for a dozen years. He's coached it just the

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver position for a dozen years. So he's more

74
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: than qualified. We know that. And i'd tell you, well,

75
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: I watched some of these guys in year three ball out,

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen this year and Baker Mayfield and the

77
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: steps they made in year three. Yeah, and I think

78
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray. What Larry might be thinking in that regard. Yeah,

79
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: we were thinking the same thing about Kyler Murray in

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: year two in the MVP. Well, he made a Pro Bowl.

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: This kid, this kid in two years offensive Rookie of

82
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: the Year and Pro Bowler. Not bad. He was named

Speaker 1: I still get maybe because we were there, wolf we

108
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: witnessed it, but to hear you guys or Jim Olmonro

109
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: putting that together with a crescendo at the very end.

110
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: We've heard Bertrand Berry say it repeatedly, the best moment

111
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: of his NFL career. It's the Big Red Rage presented

112
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert. And they played to win

113
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: the game, Polly, They played to win the game, and

114
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: they came cover zero against the Eagles on that play

115
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Send everybody huns over the wall and you

116
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: still remember the coverage, You still remember the play? Yes, yes,

117
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: incredible man across the board. Here we go flat top

118
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: send everybody, fourth down, it was over. You just looked around, right, everybody, Polly,

119
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: do you remember the way that felt? You looked around like,

120
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: did that just happen? That happen? Did that just do really?

121
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: Because that meant the Cardinals actually we're gonna win that game.

122
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: I think I was still in disbelief until the confetti

123
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: started falling from the rafters. That's when I realized it

124
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: was real and the Cardinals were going to Tampa for

125
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl forty three. Think about it, that was

126
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: twelve years ago. At this time, the stakes are the

127
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: same this Sunday, a trip to Tampa and the Super

128
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: Bowl is on the line. We'll get into Championship Sunday

129
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and those games a little bit later. Right around the

130
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: corner with Sean Johnson, the former Cardinals safety, he will

131
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: join us, and well, you remember that team, especially in

132
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: the postseason. What was the mantra shock the world? Yes, right,

133
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: that's why David just said it, all right, Dave Pass shocked.

134
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: They have shocked the world, because that was the mantra

135
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: in that locker room, and Kurt Warner was one of

136
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: the guys actually saying it, and so that team personified

137
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: that and I bring that up because earlier today, when

138
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: a new head coach takes the podium, you know for

139
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: sure you're gonna get that question. You're gonna get the

140
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: identity question right, what's gonna be the DNA of your team?

141
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: And we got a singular answer today from Dan Campbell,

142
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: the new Lions head coach, rolling We're gonna kick you

143
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: in the teeth, and when you punch us back, we're

144
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna smile at you. And when you knock us down,

145
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna get up. And on the way up, we're

146
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna buy a kneecap off and we're gonna stand up,

147
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: and then it's gonna take two more shots to knock

148
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: us down. And on the way up, we're gonna take

149
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: your other kneecap and we're gonna get up, and then

150
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna take three shots to get us down, and

151
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: when we do, we're gonna take another honk out of you.

152
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Before long, we're there going to be the last one standing.

153
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the mentality. So it's just wait, it's awesome,

154
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: sound is it not, Paul? I mean, this is this

155
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: is what you want when you're downtrodden, when you're a

156
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: little down in the mouth. This is exactly the way

157
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: you want your coach to sound. And I think he's

158
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: speaking more to fans than he is players. And he

159
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: played for the Lions once upon a time, so he

160
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: knows the identity of this city that he's coaching it.

161
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: He knows the turmoil and the travails of Lions fans

162
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: who haven't won anything since nineteen fifty seven in Bobby Lane, right,

163
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: So he knows all that. But but Wolf is he

164
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: kind of setting himself up. Well, remember when Rex Ryan

165
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: got up there and said, you know what, if you're

166
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, punch someone in the nose for it,

167
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: or Lane Kiffin, I will bring a high powered offense

168
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. Remember Buddy Ryan, and back in ninety

169
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: four you got a winner in town. Yes, No, you

170
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: got to be careful on this stuff, Polly. There's no

171
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: doubt about that. The sound is so fun and it's

172
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: so right on the money. Everything he's saying. I loved,

173
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved Dan Campbell. Agree with everything he just said.

174
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: But now you have to go find players, Paul, that

175
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: are talented and tough, players that you can win games with,

176
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: that are talented and feel the same way Dan Campbell,

177
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: there's one problem with that, Paully. That's what the rest

178
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: of the league is looking for for the most part,

179
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: you know. And the other question I would have with

180
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: Dan is how much control does he have over the

181
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster at some point in time? Is

182
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: he the one drafting? Is he going to be the

183
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: guy drafting all the draft picks because you've got to

184
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: bring the right person in. This is something Bill Belichick

185
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: has been doing for decades. He's the guy that is

186
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: bringing in the talent, whether it's free agent talent he's

187
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: bringing in, undrafted free agent talent or draft picks that

188
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: he's bringing in. Hey, they all better fit the mentality

189
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick wants see. That gives him a huge advantage.

190
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: The fact that he's got full control over the roster

191
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: and is the coach that head is exactly what you

192
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: need if you want to be able to build this

193
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: kind of culture, because sometimes you're gonna get somebody who

194
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: drafted a guy who isn't like this, who isn't like

195
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: the way Dan Campbell wants him to be, and he

196
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: might try to make him that player. Bud Paul, you

197
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: know what, he just can't do it. Sometimes I'm guessing

198
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: every opponent on the Lions schedule, the Cardinals included on

199
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Saturday night before the game, that's getting played in the

200
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: team meeting. Oh yeah, that SoundBite is getting played before

201
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: every single Lions game. This coming here. So to what

202
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: degree do you just put a bull's eye on the

203
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: Honolulu Blu and silver. We'll see about that. But speaking

204
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: of drafting the players. In the Lions front office, they

205
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: have a new GM and he comes from the Rams.

206
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: His name is Brad Holmes, an executive there. Speaking of

207
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: the Rams, they have a brand new defensive coordinator, Raheem

208
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: Morris replacing Brandon Staley, and then Robert Sala leaves as

209
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: de coordinator of the Niners Bolt then Damiko Ryan's the

210
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: new DC soul. There's been some change, some high profile

211
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: change in the division. Yeah, Brandon Staley was a surprise

212
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: to me. That was really a surprise. After one year

213
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: of coordinating in what I think it's four years in

214
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League. That was a surprise to me.

215
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: Robert Sala was not and you know what fairthee Well,

216
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Robert get out of here. Five years ago, Brandon Staley

217
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: was coaching Division three football. Think about that it's almost

218
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: like a chip Kelly you right in a way that's

219
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: so yeah. You have to wonder about that one. Paul,

220
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: we raised the football IQ. Next, Rashaw Johnson, now currently

221
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: with Alabama. Longtime Cardinal safety joins us. Next on the

222
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: Big Red Ray presented by Satan Ford in Gilbert dot

223
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: Gum snapps to Murray drops back the throw byer's left

224
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: side hog can DeAndre Hopkins puts his hands up and

225
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: he catches it and it's a touchdown. I have no

226
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: idea how he caught that ball. DeAndre Hopkins hands are

227
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: as good as we've ever seen. What a great catch

228
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: by DeAndre Hopkins. The harvester of Sorrows. Cardinals blitz back

229
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: to throw. Dalton gets hit hand slam to the ground

230
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: by Buda Baker. Dalton never saw Baker like a torpedo.

231
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: He came flying into the backfield and smoked Andy Dalton.

232
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker is a dog doo double g wow. He

233
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: goes one hundred miles an hour. Last year in the offseason,

234
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: Steve Kim got the hardware for winning the offseason. So

235
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: far into the offseason, the hardware has gone to Buddha

236
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: Baker first Team All Pro and the Pro Bowl. DeAndre

237
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Hopkins Second Team All Pro, one hundred fifteen catches over

00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred yards receiving him by the way, Budda had

239
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen tackles, and then Kyler Murray Corse

240
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: going to the Pro Bowl as well. Wolf As we

241
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: welcome everyone back here to the Big Red Rage presented

242
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: by Santanford and Gilbert. You know your big time when

243
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: you're on a radio call and you heard a little

244
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: radio montage there from Arizona Cardinals radio win. It's time

245
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: for the college football playoffs and you go to one

246
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: of the ESPN TV platforms, one of the channels, and

247
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: it's devoted to the Alabama radio call. Did you see that? Yes, yes, Polly.

248
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: There's the regular broadcast and then there's broadcast for Bama

249
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: Nation and it featured, among others on the radio call,

250
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Rashad Johnson who joins us now on the Big Red Rage. Shot,

251
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: How you doing doing? Wor about yourself? Run? Aw youre doing?

252
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: We're doing great, shot Man. I really appreciate you joining us.

253
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us. Man. Talking a little bit

254
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: of ball coming up, because we all know championship Sunday

255
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: one of the better days for football fans, right yeah, Man,

256
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: an awesome day to be a part of it. Can't

257
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: wait to watch it this Sunday for really good teams. Man,

258
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: I could go in anyway, you know, one player way.

259
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, really exciting for sure. This is just me,

260
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: but I'm sure other people share this opinion. When you

261
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: saw the Bears in the playoff, it was especially vexing

262
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: because you're like, man, the Cardinals should have been there,

263
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: especially instead of the Bears. When you followed the Cardinals,

264
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I know from Afar this year, and you saw the

265
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: progress of a Kyler Murray, but then you saw things

266
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: get sideways in the second half of the season, the

267
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: way they ended the season. How do you think the

268
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals going to the off season, what if they're feeling

269
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: like and how much change do you think needs to

270
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: be made big picture? Yeah, you know, when you look

271
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: at it, I mean really home fire, you know, winning

272
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: five of the first seven games, but when they came

273
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: in said like what happened? Because when you win a

274
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: couple of games, you're going to your buy you think

275
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: you the tenue to win games? I think we love right,

276
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what speaking to drop. I think the

277
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: line dropped a little bit. Maybe we can try and

278
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: reconnect here and hear from Rashaw Johnson, because I mean,

279
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: here's a guy who knows firsthand from experience. Here's the

280
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: guy who walked on in Alabama and was a two

281
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: time team captain, two time captain, which that doesn't happen

282
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: in Alabama. It does not. In fact, I think it

283
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: was a first, wasn't it yea program Moodily that Paul

284
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: Rashad Johnson was one of these guys as you well know,

285
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: that was really like a coach on the field. This

286
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons, this is one of my

287
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: favorite conversations PAULI that we have almost every year. It's

288
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: with Rashaan Johnson because of the player that he was,

289
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: not only physically on the field and the plays that

290
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: he would make, but mentally on the field and the

291
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: way you get everyone else lined up. It's one of

292
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: the best conversations you're ever gonna have if you want

293
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: to talk ball. So, talking again with john pick up

294
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: with the end of this season and those two disappointing

295
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: losses with the playoffs hanging in the balance, does that

296
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: tell you anything? Does that change anything going into this offseason,

297
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: just the way the season ended. You know, I was say,

298
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, it changes anything, because you know, one of

299
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: those games was lost with arguably you know, you're your

300
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: best player not playing in that game with Kyler, you know,

301
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: getting hurt early in that game. Uh, it's hard to

302
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: replace the guy that superstar status. You know, not know

303
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: this against the backup or anybody like that, but we

304
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: understand the talent that he has. Number one overall pick,

305
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, drafted in the first round base in baseball.

306
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: He's the league and a lot of different areas than

307
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: a lot of different people. He's like the one percent

308
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: of the one percenter. So when you lose a guy

309
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: like that, it hurts. So I don't think, you know,

310
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: necessarily going into the off season. You know, you're like,

311
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: oh man, we dropped the ball. We lost our best players.

312
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully we wish we could have stepped up defensively to

313
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: get that win and get us in. But you know,

314
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: we know we have an opportunity to where it's left

315
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: up to us. Honestly, you know, we we have to decide,

316
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, right now with our group, you know, with

317
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: the guys that we have, and I think we have

318
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: a collectively a good group of young guys. DeAndre Hopkins

319
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. Great move

320
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: by Steve com Buddha Baker, young safety. You know you

321
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: built around those guys, Isaiah said, you know these guys

322
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: first round picks. So I think you build off of

323
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: it and you continue to push one game away. It

324
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: isn't like you were five, So isn't a lot of

325
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot of change that needs to be made. Only

326
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: a few pieces need to be added to continue to

327
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: push that fire and try and stay healthy. Man, Shot,

328
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: you were a safety in the National Football League for

329
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: a long time and a guy that was a coach

330
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: on the field. It was something we were talking about.

331
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: Something I appreciated the most about you, Shot was the

332
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: fact that you loved the chess match. You love the

333
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: mental side of it, You love scheme, and you went

334
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: out there and made sure other guys knew exactly what

335
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: it was that you're gonna do. As you watch Buddha

336
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Baker through that safety lens, just how I mean, tell

337
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: us what you see from a safety to a safety. Yeah,

338
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, I see a guy that you know has

339
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: fearless mentality. For number one, the way he comes down.

340
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what breaks are and you know, I

341
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: hopefully doesn't drive because I'm kind of scared of it.

342
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: Is he running red light? Stop side? He just goes

343
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: man and I love that about him. He's fast paced

344
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: and he's also smart. You watch him when he blitzes

345
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of times that he's he's disguising and then

346
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: he's he's getting the blitz on the right timing. He's

347
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: hitting that line right when the ball is snapped, you know,

348
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: and it's not you know, a coincidence that he's doing that.

349
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: That comes from film study, a lot of preparation understanding.

350
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, the line count is the guard, the guy

351
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: that taps the center to let him know that the

352
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: snap the ball is about to be snapped. Are that

353
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks you know, clapping his hands that makes the

354
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: ball snap. There's a lot of different factors when you

355
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: watch enough tape to understand that, and he does a

356
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: great job of doing that as a blitzer man, so

357
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: just as a safety to another safety man, I'm highly impressed.

358
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, I just love to watch him play and

359
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he has tremendous upside here with

360
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, like he said, all pro deserved every bit

361
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: of that. Congrats man, Um, He's a great guy to

362
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: build around. Man, So y'all got a fearless competitor and

363
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: the mentality. If the rest of the defense and team

364
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: can build with him, you're gonna be tough to beat. Sure.

365
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: Advanced Joseph the d defensive coordinator had the best quote

366
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: I've ever heard about Buddha Baker. He said, he'll run.

367
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: He'll run into the darkness, right split, I know, right

368
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: for Sean, doesn't that sound so cool? I mean, it

369
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: was just full speed sprint into the darkness. That's Buddha Baker.

370
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I just listening to you talk about him,

371
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: the way he comes down from that secondary man and

372
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: plays with abandon, It's just I appreciate that. That's some

373
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: old school stuff. Shot. Yeah, and as the yes, as

374
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: the highest paid safety in the game, he can definitely

375
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: afford a fast ride. Put it that way. I don't

376
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: know what he drives, but he can definitely afford it.

377
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: Let me ask you. In the secondary. Rashad Johnson our

378
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: guest here in the Big Read. Rachel, former Cardinals safety,

379
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: had nine picks between two fourteen twenty fifteen. One of

380
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: the biggest decisions facing the Cardinals. A guy you're really

381
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: tight with Patrick Peterson, but it could be a big

382
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: money ticket. He's beyond that magic number of thirty needs

383
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: and wants. We know how important it is to have

384
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: a cover corner. How to you says that decision the

385
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: Cardinals have to make on Patrick p Yeah, you know,

386
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean we all understand the game and how it

387
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: works and the business side of it. It's all going

388
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: to come down to, you know, the value that they

389
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: see that that Patrick still holds within the organization as

390
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: a as a you know, a lockdown corner, and you

391
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: know the number and what they're looking at. So it's

392
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: all going to come down to a number game at

393
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, and can they can they

394
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: agree upon that? You know? Uh, Patrick, you know has

395
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: has played you know well this season. We all saw

396
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: some ups and downs through it all. Um. I think that,

397
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that is solid though, man,

398
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean he's been solid in his career here, has

399
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: been solid you know, in his time out into the

400
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: public as well and just building younger guys up. So

401
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that can still you know,

402
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: hold that position and be a guy who can still

403
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: be a cornerstone. Obviously Buddha has that big name now,

404
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: that big guy that's pushing up to transcend to be

405
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: that that focal point of that group, which is understandably,

406
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: so you always look for younger talent um. So I

407
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: think this is gonna come down and can we find

408
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: someone that we think, you know, values out better then

409
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: Patrick at this time, and Kenny's numbers agree because I think,

410
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, they both value each other, and I think

411
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: the city and team both would you know, like to

412
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: see each other, you know, finish their careers together. You

413
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: know what it's all setting done with everything that's been done,

414
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: so we'll see. We saw Pro Football Focus assess the

415
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: top one hundred free agents out there and Pat he

416
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: was the highest rated, the highest graded Arizona cardinal free

417
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: agent to be He's number seventy one. They had Kelvin

418
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: Beacham seventy five, Kennyan Drake seventy seven, Hasan Reddick eighty seven.

419
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: Although there was another study. We'll have to put his

420
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: son Reddick as the most valuable guy to resign just

421
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: because of his age, the position he plays, in the

422
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: fact he had twelve and a half Sacks. Yeah, you know,

423
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: you need that edge in today's NFL. There's no doubt

424
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: about it. And Hassan Roddick truly stepped up for the

425
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals when Chandler Jones went down. But man, Hassan

426
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: Reddick is a guy that I think is going to

427
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: get paid. I think there's a lot of teams out there,

428
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: Paulie that are going to look at Hassan and say, hey, listen,

429
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: we don't have a guy like that. Let's go get him.

430
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: Let's see if the Cardinals go get another Alabama guy

431
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: like Rashad Johnson once upon a time. We'll talk draft

432
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: next on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford

433
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: in Gilbert Buddha Baker is back. He's not the first

434
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: cardinal ever to play with nine fingers. Yes, Rashad Johnson

435
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: did that. Of course, Rashad's fell off. Buddhas is back intact.

436
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: This is the most graphic injury report ever. I'm a

437
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: truth teller, Wolf, I mean, it's it's not like it's

438
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: a story that people aren't aware of. Rashad is still

439
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: doing just fine with nine fingers as a broadcaster for Alabama.

440
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: He's still making appearances getting mentioned in Cardinals broadcast that

441
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: was from the twenty twenty season. That was a pregame

442
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: show Wolf you and Dave, and you've referenced our guests

443
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: Rashad Johnson and the fact that old boy, once upon

444
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: a time, I remember like it was yesterday. There the

445
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals team trains. Why are they looking in the garbage

446
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: for the rest of that glove because Baul still has

447
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: the rest of Rashaan Johnson's fingertip in it, and all boys, Rashot,

448
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: how are you in your finger doing these days? By

449
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: the way, Oh man, it's been great, awesome, It's been

450
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: a benefit every time I go get a manicure ten

451
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: percent all. You know, Set, I have to tell you

452
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: every every time we talk about this, and I say

453
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: this to you every year, I'm jealous. That is a

454
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: great story, bro, That's one of the best stories ever.

455
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: I lost part of my finger playing ball game. Man.

456
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: I know, man, that is so And you know, before

457
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: we get to Alabama and you're a broadcaster on that

458
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: team right now, that New Orleans game makes me think

459
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: of Tyron Matthew. And that makes me think of Tyron

460
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: Matthew this past weekend and that game he had can

461
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: you give us a quick word on the Badger, a

462
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: guy who has more interceptions than any safety over the

463
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: last two seasons. Yeah, man, the Badger's continue to be

464
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: the Badger Man, you know, the father odds and continue

465
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: just to go and be a leader no matter where

466
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: he's at. You know, the odds are getting sometimes and

467
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: sometimes you think that you know, it may not be

468
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: where he's playing at the where you think he should

469
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: be at, and he continues just to show up like

470
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: uh he. I think his quote was, m I'm the

471
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: smallest dog in the yard, but it's still my yard.

472
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: I think that was one of the quotes he had

473
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: on the play he made on the tall sweep in

474
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: the backfield. And I mean, he's just it's just him man.

475
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: His mentality, his play is terrific and I just love

476
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: to watch him man, and big us to Utah Man,

477
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: and much love to you. Continue to do what you do.

478
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: Go get your another ring, doc, Yeah man. One of

479
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: the great things I love watching Badger play as well.

480
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: One of the great things about football is it's it's

481
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: an individual game in a team sport and it is

482
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: a beautiful, beautiful thing. And just knowing the way that

483
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: Badger would go ahead and prepare. But because it is

484
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: a team sport. Shot. Do you believe in culture? Do

485
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: you believe in a team having a culture, And if so,

486
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: what is it? Oh? Yeah, no doubt about it. I

487
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: think you know, culture is the team. You know that

488
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: that's what makes that team be able to ascend to

489
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: the top of the mountain if you don't breed a

490
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: culture of people and individuals that that buy into, you know,

491
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: whatever that culture may be. You know, different people have

492
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: different ways of how they run their culture. You know

493
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: the culture at Alabama, you know, me being there and

494
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: understanding that a lot of it and working there and

495
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: being an alice for you know, as a coach of accountability,

496
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: coach will discipline a cultural team first, you know, and

497
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: you see guys do that year in a year out.

498
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: And you watch guys this year who put the team first,

499
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: who are accountable, who didn't choose to go to the

500
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: NFL like Nagy Harris and Davante Smith to come back

501
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: and then Mac Jones to wait behind to a tongue

502
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: of below and Jalen Hurts and to win a national championship. Man,

503
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: it was you know, that type of culture just doesn't

504
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: happen overnight. You know, it's built over many years. And

505
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: you see guys, you know, individuals can bring that to

506
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: your team, you know, and bring that spart to it.

507
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: And I think you know Tyry Matthews one of those

508
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: guys when he was here with the Cardinals. You know,

509
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: he was a great guy in our secondary from thirteen

510
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: to however long he was here. You know, he was

511
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: a spark. He was a great glue piece of part

512
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: of that. You know, even though he had the time

513
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: when he was injured, his time here helped push that

514
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: whole unit, you know, And he's doing the same thing

515
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: everywhere else he's been. So culture is so huge, and

516
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: the individuals you have within your culture is even bigger.

517
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: It's all about you or Sean Johnson, former Cardinals safety,

518
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: Presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert all Right. A year ago,

519
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: Bama had four first rounders and nine players selected in

520
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: the top three rounds. What do you think Bama's tracking

521
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: for this year? Oh my god, I haven't looked at

522
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: it in too far in depth, but man, this year

523
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a It's gonna be a lot of guys.

524
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: Let me first rounders off the top of my head.

525
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, you could think of Nagi, DeVante, Mac Landing, Alex.

526
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: I mean that's five there, you know, just off the

527
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: top of me. We're not even going defensive side of

528
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: the ball, Patrick Satan, you know, it's a great corner.

529
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: Who I think Jalen Waddle. I'm sorry, there's an other one,

530
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: you know. I think they may do something really spectacular.

531
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: Maybe the most first rounders you know, in the draft history.

532
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that number is, but right there,

533
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: I've got to seven and I'm thinking of right now.

534
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: So they had a great group, man. A lot of

535
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: young talent that's leaving out. This year's junior is in

536
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot of older talent that stayed that I think

537
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: benefited by making that decision. You know, a lot of

538
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: young guys want to go ahead and jump. They want

539
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: to leave and go to the NFL. They want to

540
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: get that money, they want to get that opportunity. A

541
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: lot of guys shows to come back. Man, I think

542
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: they cashed out in a major way, like Leatherwood, Naji

543
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: and Davonte Smith. You know, Sean that one of my

544
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: favorite guys to watch play the game of football is

545
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. No doubt stop it. You know, what are

546
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: you saying, We're getting thirteen personnel, We're gonna line up

547
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna run inside zone. We're gonna run straight. Well,

548
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: I absolutely love watching Derrick Henry run the ball. How

549
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: does Naji Harris compare? So compare and contrast Naji Harris

550
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry. Yeah, I'm think you know, Naji Harris

551
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: has the power that Derreck Henry has um in a

552
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: different form. I think he doesn't have the like Derek's long,

553
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: speak faster, I think than Naji, but I think short

554
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: area quickness in terms of making defenders miss are having

555
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: that decision to have power, Naji's very special at that man.

556
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: He can he can have a tremendous spin move and

557
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: I actually think he's a better route runner and one

558
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: on one matchup out of the backfield. So I mean,

559
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: if you want a guy that you know thirteen personnel

560
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: bruise you and can do that, you know, Derek's gonna

561
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: weigh on you in four quarters. But Naji is a

562
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna weigh on you in four quarters in

563
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: a different way because he can wear you out in

564
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: the run games, but also on third down I mean

565
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: he's he's tremendous out of the backfield, man. I mean

566
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: his junior year, I think he caught eight or nine

567
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns as a running back. You know, so really special talent. Man.

568
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: I like them both, I honestly to say, I've had

569
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: to pick one or the other. I kind of like NA.

570
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: I kind of like NA have a little bit more

571
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: versatile to him. Even though King Henry is the team

572
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: right now. A lot of I love watching the NFL

573
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: DB's turned down tackles of Derrick Henry. Bad. That's saying something. Yeah, business,

574
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't get off this block. Sorry, right, so

575
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: we're shot. Tell us about Patrick Certan because a lot

576
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: of people think Cardinals at sixteen overall are going to

577
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: go after a corner and I'm thinking that might be

578
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: a fit. Give us a quick thumbnail, quick skyner report

579
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, smart, uh, tough football guy man. You

580
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: know his dad played in the NFL. He was bred

581
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: to do this, um and I think that would be

582
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: a great fit, you know, a great lockdown corner. You know,

583
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: he came in as a true freshman, so I got

584
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: a chance to see him come in. Maturity level is

585
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: is way beyond you. Know his years as a freshman,

586
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: he was locked in. He could take the you know,

587
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: the ups and downs from coach Savans who can give

588
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: you a thrashing like no other. Um, and he was

589
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: locked in. He could take it in and bounce back

590
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: next day. UM. So he's a smart guy versus two

591
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: you know plays outside, we play a lot of different multiples.

592
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: So that's you know, it's a guy you can count

593
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: to be your number one guy. I don't think he

594
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: gave up any big plays and touchdowns this season. So

595
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: I like Patrick Man, good tackler, um and a big frame.

596
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: So my scouttering reporters, if you pick him, Man, you

597
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: you picked the football player, and I think you got

598
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: yourself as a really good one. Shout. I know you're

599
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: so busy with Alabama and your responsibilities with Alabama and

600
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: the side line reporting end. But when you when you

601
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: look at the NFC Championship game coming up with Tampa

602
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: Bay and the Green Bay Packers, where does your mind

603
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: go in that game? Man, Tampa Bay and Green Bay's

604
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy. It's gonna be one of those games

605
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: that who who can hit the quarterback? Who can disrupt

606
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: the guy with the ball. UM? But also with the

607
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: defensive front, you gotta be able to stop the run.

608
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: We understand that that that Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers

609
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: has had a terrific gear, but we can't forget that

610
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: running back of Aaron Johns and the way that they've

611
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball as well and give

612
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to make those big plays down the field.

613
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: And the same thing with the Buccaneers. I mean, Thomas

614
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: had a great year, has played well, but he's played

615
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: his best when Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournett are grinding

616
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: it out. So whichever one of these defensive lines and

617
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: my opinion, plays the best tomorrow in terms of Sunday,

618
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of stopping the run and being

619
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: able to get to the pastor and get some hits

620
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: on him, wins this game. And I'm leaning a little

621
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: bit more towards green Bay in this one. And a

622
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: quick thought Bills at the Chiefs. You're talking to a

623
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: Bills team that's one eleven out of twelve. The only

624
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: loss was the Hail Murray against the Cardinals. What do

625
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, man, I like the Bills. Man I

626
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs too, Don't get me wrong. The Chiefs

627
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: have done some really special things. Great teams. It's hard

628
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: to pick against, you know, my homeboy and that offense

629
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: and tie and that defense. But I like the Bills, man,

630
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: just like you said, They've won, you know, eleven or

631
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: last twelve. The only one they lost was the Hall

632
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: married This defense is playing well, Sean McDermott and those

633
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: guys are firing around, man, flying around really well. And

634
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: I think they can they can rush the pastor you know,

635
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: with their front four, and I think, you know, uh,

636
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: this year with my man, sorry, I can't even I'm

637
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: losing his name at quarterback. How can you even do that?

638
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: For shot? Josh Allen? Josh Allen? Yeah, man, he's been special.

639
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: Jen's name, he's been that special. I forgot his name.

640
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: But he's been so well with his legs extending plays.

641
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: He's had that type of Patrick Mahomes type year in

642
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: terms of making those plays with his legs. And I

643
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: see him going out, you know, in this game and

644
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: doing the same thing, and we gotta think, you know,

645
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: this concussion last week, I know he's gonna be clear

646
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: that he's gonna play, but doesn't affect his play. Yeah,

647
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: it's so weird because Josh Allen is the only one

648
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't won an MVP. There are six MVPs, right that,

649
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: the other three quarterbacks six MVPs. He's the only one

650
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: obviously that has not one NMVP. But man, an incredible talent,

651
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: a guy that I think he has got a bright

652
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: future of course in this league right here. Yeah, yeah,

653
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: I agree. Well, I'm taking the bills and Rashad as

654
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: we wrap it up. You know, how's the podcast going

655
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: secondary perspective with your former teammate Draw Powers. I mean,

656
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: we know you two guys can talk just from your

657
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: just from my experience hanging out with you guys in

658
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: the locker room. I mean that was a podcast waiting

659
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, man, it's it's cool. Man. We enjoy

660
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: getting opportunities just to sit back and wrap talk ball,

661
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, try and give a little bit of taker

662
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: in our secondary perspective from our viewpoint. Looking to have

Speaker 1: be back on Big Red Rate some more as well.

671
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: That's right, man, So much love and respect for you, brother, seriously,

672
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: God bless you and your family. Thank you for coming on.

673
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: We appreciate it shows anytime. Man. Yeah, I have a

674
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: good one. Okay, there you go. See we got that

675
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: knowledge that he brings in the podcast. There walth it's

676
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: good and and you're jealous because he gets the ten

677
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: percent discount on the manicure, which you know, which that

678
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: was gonna get. What a great light bully that is

679
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: right there, ten percent discount because he's missing a tip

680
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: of his finger, right and still it is legendary ball.

681
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's why it hadn't hurt. At the time,

682
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good thing, but you know what, in

683
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: retro's back, looking back decades, would have been one of

684
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: the coolest things you could have been. There's two guys

685
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: who get the ten percent discount. There's Rashad Johnson and

686
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott. We continue with a Big Red Rage next,

687
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: all presented by Santan four in Gilbert Jealous hand the

688
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: Cornets from ahead and he stumbles forward. He's got the

689
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: first down down to the twenty five yard lot and

690
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: that'll do it. Fournette picks up the first down and

691
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on their way out of

692
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: the NFC title Game. The Green Bay Packers will close

693
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: out this win over to Los Angeles Rams, and the

694
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: road to Super Bowl fifty five in the NFC will

695
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: go through Green Bay. Fourth NFC Championship game in the

696
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: past seven years for the Packers, but their first at

697
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: Lambeau as they seek their first Super Bowl in a decade.

698
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: And then you have a Tampa team that hasn't been

699
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl since two thousand and two. So

700
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: those are the stakes in the NFC Championship. Ron Wolfley

701
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: and special thanks to Rashad Johnson, former Cardinals safety. Here

702
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert.

703
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, some of these numbers are just absurd. Whether

704
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: it's Green Bay having won seven in a row at

705
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: this point only two turnovers in those seven wins total,

706
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: the fact Tampa BA and Tom Brady have won seven

707
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: road games in a row. I mean, both teams are peaking,

708
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: aren't they. No doubt about a Pala. This is going

709
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: to be a great game. I think this is going

710
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: to be a legendary game. I expect this game to

711
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: be really, really tight, not like the AFC game. I

712
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: can see the Kansas City Chiefs if Patrick Mahomes is healthy,

713
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: I could see the Chiefs running away a little bit

714
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: with that game. At some point in time. I believe

715
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: Josh Allen at the moment, is going to bite him

716
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: in the can. I think at some point it's going

717
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: to get to him, the pressure. He's still a young guy,

718
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: he's still developing. Maybe that happens this weekend, of course

719
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs defending Super Bowl champions. But

720
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: the NFC game, this is the game I think is

721
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: going to be either This could go either way. Paul,

722
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: all right, so let me ask green Bay came out

723
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: and you talk about the balance in that win against

724
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: the Ramsey had thirty seven passes, they had thirty two runs. Yes,

725
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: but Tampa has the number one rushing defense, number one

726
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: rushing to he heard RuSHA Johnson. Whoever can run the ball.

727
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: What is is may establish it against that Bucks front

728
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: seven ridiculous game. Yes, that is a question right there, Paula,

729
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: You've nailed it. I mean, this is it. Rundown situation

730
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: is going to decide this game. The NFC Championship game

731
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: is going to be decided by rundown situation and who

732
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: plays better in rundown situation first in ten second and

733
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: one to six. Both these teams are so reliant on

734
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: play action. If you watch Aaron Rodgers, it's a beautiful thing.

735
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing to watch Aaron Rodgers and his

736
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: play action mechanics. There might be one guy in the

737
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: history of the game that is better with his play

738
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: action mechanics than Aaron Rodgers, and that's Tom Brady. Both

739
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: these teams are heavy on running the ball, running the

740
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: ball in between the tackles in particular, and using play

741
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: action to throw the ball in rundown situation down the field.

742
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: The bashion Bomb offense is built on this. It's Bruce Arians.

743
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: We saw it. We know it very very well. Twenty

744
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: two and twenty three, Double the Power without the poll.

745
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna line up, use a couple of tight ends,

746
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: and here it comes. They're gonna run the ball. They're

747
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball in between those tackles and they

748
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: don't care if they get two or three yards. They

749
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: do it because the play action that comes off of

750
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: it is so effective. This game is going to be

751
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: decided during rundown situation and which offense plays better and

752
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 1: run down. You brought up the fact the Tampa Bay

753
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are the number one rush defense in the National

754
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: Football League in terms of rushing yards per game and

755
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: rushing yards per play. Their lights out. If they can

756
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: shut that down, if they can shut down the Packers'

757
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: ability to run the ball, this game is going to

758
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: tighten up big time. Well, the first meeting Tampa one

759
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: big thirty eight ten at Tampa and they held Aaron

760
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: Jones to just fifteen yards on ten carries, and Aaron

761
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers had a complete outlier game. His worst game of

762
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: the year is only bad game of the year by far.

763
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: Sixteen or thirty five A Buck sixties, zero touchdowns, two interceptions.

764
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: The other fifteen games actually sixteen games after the playoff win,

765
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: he has fifty touchdown passes and just three interceptions. So

766
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: if he's looking for redemption, look out he's speaking of zero. Paul.

767
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: Zero is something Todd Bowles loves to do. From time

768
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: to time. Cover zero man across the board, Baby, send

769
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: everybody go after Aaron Rodgers. I'm interested to see how

770
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: much he actually blitzes Aaron Rodgers, because that's one of

771
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: the things you do not speak of. That's one of

772
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: the things you do not do to Aaron Rodgers. But

773
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: will Todd Bowles do it? That's a question. And then

774
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: the flip side. Tom Brady in his fourteenth Championship game,

775
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: think about that. If he wins, he joins Peyton, Kurt

776
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: Burner and Craig Morton is the only quarterbacks to lead

777
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: two separate franchises into this Super Bowl. We hit up

778
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: the AMC next. It's the Big Red Rage presented by

779
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: Santan Ford in Gilbert Alan Jackson E and that'll do it.

780
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills, for the first time since nineteen ninety four,

781
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: are going to the AFC Championship Game. This magic ride

782
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen and the rest of the Bills will

783
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: continue for at least one more week. The pinches into

784
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: the talk isn't twelve seconds in chicking? This one is

785
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: over in The Chiefs are going to the AFC Championship

786
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: Game for the third consecutive year, but what is the

787
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: status of Patrick Mahomes. He has the clear concussion protocol. Yeah,

788
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: that is the question posed on Westwood One as he

789
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: heard the playoff games come to a close right there,

790
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship has said the Bills at the Chiefs,

791
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: who are wrapping up this edition of the Big Red

792
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: Rage percent of by Santan ford In, Gilbert Paul KELVC

793
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: and Buffalo native Ron Wolfley, who will celebrate this Sunday

794
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: the late game by jumping off his F fifty in

795
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: his driveway onto a folding table. So, Paully, the Bills

796
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: mafia does exist at the wolf Ley compot. You and

797
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, we need video of that. You guys need

798
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: to do that, and that a goal viral. Seriously, you

799
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: need to do something like that. A way too sophisticated

800
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: to do that, Faul. Yeah, by the way, to answer

801
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: that question about the status of Patrick Mahomes, he did

802
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: take the majority of snaps in practice today and according

803
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: to Andy Reid, quote, Pat looked good out there. He's

804
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: moving around, well, he feels good. It's just important that

805
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: we follow the protocol, Yes, exactly. Yeah, I think it's

806
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,479
Speaker 1: a fat to complete. I think there's no way he's

807
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: not going to play. He's going to play in that

808
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: game coming up on Sunday. But this one is interesting too. Yes,

809
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: my heart wishes the Buffalo Bills would actually go to

810
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: another Super Bowl because I think of the k Gun

811
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly. Four consecutive Super Bowls, Paul, you still think

812
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of

813
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Agreed to go four consecutive Super

814
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: Bulls is unthinkable, and yet you never won a Super Bowl,

815
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: which is equally unthinkable. Right here, But the Buffalo Bills

816
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, and see that's always been the

817
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs Achilles Heel to meet Paully. The fact

818
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 1: that the Bills can't line up and pound the ball

819
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: in between the tackles. I don't think it's a good matchup.

820
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't I think they're gonna throw the ball in.

821
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs one of the best teams in

822
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: the National Football League in taking the ball away from

823
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: you number ten is a matter of fact, in takeaways

824
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: this year, and tied for number five in interceptions with

825
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: sixteen interceptions. And when I think of interceptions, I think

826
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen and those great wide receivers Stefon Diggs,

827
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: John Brown, Cole Beasley, the great passing attack that the

828
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills have. And I think of Tyrn Matthew. I

829
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: think of the Badger Paully Well. I think of turnovers

830
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: in this game. I think of what Matthew must be

831
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: thinking when he watches film from last week when the

832
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: Bills ran for a season low thirty two yards on

833
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: the ground their first twenty plays where all passes. Yes,

834
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean, is are they really that inept at running

835
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: the ball? Wolf? Or was that strictly a game plan

836
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: thing against the Ravens front, including former Cardinal Clays Campe.

837
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both, Polly, There's no doubt.

838
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both. Because the Baltimore Ravens

839
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: are a very, very physical team, There's no doubt about it.

840
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: But they're a team the Buffalo Bills that are really

841
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: not built like the Green Bay Packers, the Tampa Bay

842
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and even the Kansas City Chiefs. They don't use

843
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: a ton of play action. It's Josh Allen, and Josh

844
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: Allen's gonna be throwing the ball. Those three receivers Stefan Diggs,

845
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: John Brown and Cole Beasley. Polly, It's like it's the

846
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: perfect blend. You got Stefan Diggs to go deep, you

847
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: got Cole Beasley to run the short stuff, and then

848
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: John Brown the short to intermediate stuff and the great

849
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: route runner that he is. It's a great eleven personnel,

850
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: one back, one tight end, three wide receiver personnel package.

851
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: And don't let me say ever again that a quarterback

852
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: can improve his accuracy. Think of Josh Allen as rookie

853
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: this year. He was fourth in completion percentage. He jumped

854
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: more than ten percent in completion percentage from last season

855
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: to this season. It's whole individual, Paul, It's remarkable and

856
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: it just once again it goes back to the jump.

857
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 1: Perhaps Kyler Murray might make even more so in year three.

858
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: We'll see special thanks Jim al monro Cody Fincher, Ron
