Consider it 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 5: a seventeen course season. 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, Okay, Paul, I mean you know we're. 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 5: The ingredients all about how is it prepared, how to 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 5: come out of the oven? You know which dishes were 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 5: thumbs up versus thumbs down? Would just serve it again? 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 5: Do you ultimately have an upset stomach? Or are you 29 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 5: still hungry? Are you satisfied? And you know what, the 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 5: answer is very obvious. In the NFL, thirty one teams 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 5: still go hungry. Only one team is satisfied and can 32 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 5: truly take its napkin and wipe its mouth at the 33 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 5: end of an NFL season. And that is our intro 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 5: to the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. 35 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 5: We are santan Ford, Paul kelvc here Ron Wolfley. 36 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: There that made me hungry. 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 5: Paul, well, it's especially coming off the holiday season. Wolf 38 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 5: Hopefully the mask of discipline is back after you. Speaking 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 5: of your body, I asked Trey McBride the other day 40 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 5: at his locker, the day after the season ended. I said, 41 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 5: you've been in a lot of collisions over the last 42 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 5: six months. How does your body feel right now? And 43 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 5: he laughed and then he sort of deflected the question. 44 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 5: Wolf ten years in the NFL. Let's just say you 45 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 5: threw your body around as a wedgebuster. What did your 46 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 5: body feel like after the end of an NFL season. 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pully, it was so weird. It really was, because 48 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: you get so used to so accustomed to the aches 49 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: and the pains, the bruises, and you know, I joke 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: about bloody sheets all the time, but it's the truth. 51 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: We used to have. We used to have the Sunday 52 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: night sheets, you know, and you put the Sunday night 53 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: sheets on because you knew there was going to be 54 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: bloodstains on those things. And instead of just going ahead 55 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: and throwing out sheets and getting new ones, you went 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: ahead and you had the bloody sheets. You had the sheets. 57 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: Of course, now you washed it. 58 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 5: BALI, well, did I mention it's dinner time. Everyone's losing 59 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 5: their I'm tight right now. 60 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: But you understand what I'm saying. You just you grow 61 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: accustomed to it. And yeah, when the season is over, 62 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: it takes you about two three weeks for your body 63 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: to get back to normal. Yeah. 64 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 5: I'm not surprised, Tom, I'm not being done on that sideline. 65 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 5: I mean, it's basically a bunch of car crashes over 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 5: a sixty minute game time, and you do it over 67 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 5: and over again over the course of a season. So 68 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 5: we're going to get into the season news today involving 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals, Drew Petsing, offensive coordinator, the Bears tweeting 70 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 5: out they completed a head coaching interview with Drew Petsing, 71 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 5: So there you go. The Niners, just a little bit ago, 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: tweeting out they completed a defensive coordinator interview with their 73 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 5: former DC Robert Salah. So what are the Niners up 74 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 5: to after they fired Nick Sorenson, their defensive coordinator. After 75 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 5: the end of the season by the Cardinals putting forty 76 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 5: seven on the board, but the Cardinals ultimately end up 77 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 5: out of the playoffs. They did double their win total 78 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 5: from a year ago, They did win home games, They 79 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 5: did finish three and three in the division and wolf 80 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 5: here's what Jonathan Gannon had to say about the team's 81 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 5: path to improvement this year. 82 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 6: You can go about a two ways. You can listen 83 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 6: to all the narratives, all the outside noise, all the 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 6: external factors, as I would call him, and you listen 85 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 6: to all these things why we didn't earn the right 86 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 6: to play right now? Or you can go about it 87 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 6: in a way that says, you know what I didn't 88 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 6: do a good enough job in the role that I'm in. 89 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 6: Take that on the chin, and then improve from it. 90 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 5: I know you liked the manner in which Jonathan Gannon 91 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 5: summed up and addressed this season. That just was right, 92 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 5: just the fact that he was he was honest about 93 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 5: the improvement, yet there was accountability that it needs to improve, 94 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 5: continue to improve going into next year. 95 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, just to paraphrase what he was saying, Pauli, Jonathan Gannon, 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, said, you know, 97 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: we didn't deserve to be in the postseason. We didn't 98 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: deserve to be in the playoffs. I'm paraphrasing once again 99 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: what he said, but that was his sentiment and there's 100 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. That's what being accountable is all about. 101 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Bully You hear me say this all the time, but 102 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: it's really really important when you are a professional athlete, 103 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: and you're a very confident individual for the most part 104 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: to begin with. But when you're a professional athlete, you 105 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: always have to tell the truth. You do. You have 106 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: to tell the truth about your performance in a game, 107 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: or if you're a coach, you have to tell the 108 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: truth about how you coached and did you do a 109 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: good enough job? You have to be accountable. And I 110 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: love the fact. I love Jag because this is a 111 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: man who gets up in front of the world, the 112 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: football universe, and basically says, I got to do a 113 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: better job. He's very, very accountable, and I love that 114 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: because all he's doing is setting the table for all 115 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: of his players. This is the way that we want 116 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: you to be. You need to be accountable. When you 117 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: watch the tape, you need to look at yourself and 118 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: say where could I have done better? You not look 119 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: at yourself and try to say, what am I going 120 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: to say here? What am I going to say when 121 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: I didn't do my job here? What am I going 122 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: to say? What's my excuse going to be? You can't 123 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: do that, Paul. You got to tell the truth and 124 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: be accountable. And JG over and over and over again 125 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: models that for his players. 126 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 5: So Trevor Lawrence Jaguars QB was asked just yesterday what 127 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 5: the Jags need in a head coach. I'm going to 128 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 5: read you as quote, whether it's an offensive or defensive coach, 129 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 5: just a guy that's going to instill that culture, that 130 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 5: toughness into our team and that confidence that it doesn't 131 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 5: matter who we're playing. When we're playing, just spot the ball. 132 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 5: We can beat anybody. Just a tough team that other 133 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 5: teams don't want to play against. 134 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: End quote. 135 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 5: And I immediately thought of what Jonathan Gannon has done 136 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 5: in two years. 137 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: That's JG right there. That is it the culture. And 138 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: once again, this is the reason why it is so important, Paulie. 139 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: It's so important to talk about the culture in what 140 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: your culture is, and I'm talking about before you even 141 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: sit down to build your first team, you have got 142 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: to know what it is that you think a football 143 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: team should be, the culture that you need to build. 144 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: Who was just talking about this, Cliff Kingsbury was talking 145 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: about this, Yeah, the building of that foundation and how 146 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: important and how critical it is that you establish it 147 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: right off the top, because think about it, Polly, once again, 148 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: if you go ahead and you don't establish that culture 149 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: or that foundation from the very beginning, and then a 150 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: year later, or maybe a year and a half or 151 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: two years later, you try to change who you are 152 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: and what you believe. Man, that is a red flag 153 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: for every player that is in that locker room. 154 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 5: And we talked about this last year that when Jonathan 155 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 5: Gannon came in. He made a point. It was by design. 156 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 5: He was coming in hard, so to speak. He was 157 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 5: coming in and he was going to bring that accountability. 158 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 5: You heard the owner, Michael Bidwell in the press conference 159 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 5: after they moved on from Cliff Kingsbury, saying, we have 160 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 5: an accountability problem. That's one of the main reasons they 161 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 5: heard Jonathan Gannon. So when he said, and I have 162 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 5: the quote right here that your reference that he told 163 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 5: the Cardinals Monday and the final team meeting quote, I 164 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 5: told him, I'm disappointed we're not playing right now. That 165 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 5: falls on me first, it's our own doing. I also 166 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 5: told him the game is fair. We shouldn't be playing 167 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 5: right now. That's tough to take on the chin and 168 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 5: if people ask, it is And people ask me, okay, 169 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 5: so what is your summary of this season? And after 170 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 5: a little bit of thought, I said, you know what, 171 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 5: the Cardinals played well enough to raise expectations, most in 172 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 5: particular six and four at the bye, but then they 173 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 5: failed to meet those elevated expectations down the stretch. That 174 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 5: would be my summary of the twenty twenty four season. 175 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 5: Agree or disagree, Yeah, no, I'm with. 176 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: You Paul on that one. Right there. Honestly, coming into 177 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: this season, I thought they could win nine games. That's 178 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: that's what I thought. Again, it wasn't a prediction, you 179 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: know me, Paully, I can't stand predictions. It was a guess. 180 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: It was an educated guess. I thought they could win 181 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: nine games. Well, you know what, they won eight games. 182 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: And it's very very interesting because if you look at 183 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, have the Arizona Cardinals been compared to 184 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: the Lions in their. 185 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 5: Rebuilt Oh yeah? Even the Lions saw evidence watching the 186 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 5: Cardinals on film going into their Week three game. 187 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, And I know that for a fact because 188 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: of Chris Spielman and being able to talk to Chris Spielman. 189 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: But I digress, Paully, think about it. Dan Campbell in 190 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: his first year was three and thirteen. Okay, you know 191 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: JG was four and thirteen. Okay. So in the second year, 192 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: nine and eight is what Dan Campbell was. Well, you're 193 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: eight and nine right now. And that third year, boy, 194 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: the Lions really took off twelve and five and that 195 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: third year right there, and hopefully that's going to be 196 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: the course the Cardinals will actually follow. 197 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: All right, here's Trey McBride his summary of the season. 198 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we made some strides, but I don't 199 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 7: think we're quite where we want to be at. You know, 200 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 7: obviously we were building a good culture here. I think 201 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 7: JG's doing a good job of doing things the right way. 202 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 7: But we've definitely made some strides, But like I said, 203 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 7: I don't think they're where we want to be at. 204 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 5: And Trey McBride would be one of a handful of 205 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 5: guys who are probably safe, meaning Jonathan Gannon and Manias Aboard. 206 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 5: If one thing they've demonstrated over two years now, two 207 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 5: off seasons, they don't hesitate. They're not afraid of change. 208 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 5: If they need to make change, they will And there's 209 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 5: definitely some areas that they're going to bolster this offseason. 210 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. They need to and 211 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: they will. But I love the fact what you just 212 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: said in regard to Trey McBride. You know what's amazing, Paulli, 213 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: is the fact that Trey McBride here he is. He 214 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 1: has become one of the best tight ends in the 215 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: football universe. And whenever you talk about who is the 216 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: best tight end in the football universe, Trey McBride, name 217 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: his name has got to be mentioned in that. You've 218 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: got George Kittle. Of course, you've got Travis Kelcey. Those 219 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: two guys are going to be guaranteed to be mentioned 220 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: in that conversation. I think Sam Laporta is somebody you're 221 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: gonna throw in there as well. I don't know if 222 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm spacing somebody else, but I think Trey McBride is 223 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: right there in that conversation, no doubt. 224 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 5: I mean no doubt. I mean, if you ask my 225 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 5: other big takeaway from this season, what I think we'll 226 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 5: remember most as time passes is that you had career years, 227 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 5: epic years from both Trey McBride and Buddha Baker. Just 228 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 5: remarkable seasons that I think will only get better as 229 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 5: we look back at him a little bit later in time. 230 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 5: Hey joined the Cardinal Season ticket wait List Today for 231 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 5: a list of all the opponents coming up in twenty 232 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 5: twenty five, and you learned about all the season ticket 233 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: member benefits, go to Azcardinals dot com slash waitlist, Azcardinals 234 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 5: dot com slash Waitlist, or on the Big Red Rage 235 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 5: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We continue next. 236 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 3: Murray takes the shotgun stat back the throw now a 237 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 3: lot near side. Poor mccride in the corner, mixed the catch, 238 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: bore the touchdown. 239 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 4: Ah, that's greasy good right there for Kyler Murray. 240 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: And that was a tear drop a dime. 241 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: Orry to throw a fade right side of the end 242 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: zone on the money to Marvin Harrison Junior. 243 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: Touchdown. 244 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: What a throw by furry catch his fourth touchdown pass, 245 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: tying a career high. 246 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray put it out there and Marvin Harrison Junior 247 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 4: went and got it. 248 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: Text Fits and let him know that Marvin Harrison Junior 249 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: just tied his rookie record. That's eight touchdown catches, tying 250 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 3: it with an Kwan Bolden and Larry for most touchdown 251 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: catches by a rookie and team histery welf? 252 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 5: Did you ever text Fits? That was you and Pash 253 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 5: there are Week eighteen. Did you ever get back to 254 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 5: Larry let him he was at the game, he got 255 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 5: a Larry Larry chance. You ever let him know exactly 256 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 5: what the particulars were of his record being tied? 257 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: Well, I was going to Paully and then all of 258 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: a sudden I saw him with the Larry Larry chant 259 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: and I said he'll never return my text. 260 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. 261 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: No, you're right. 262 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 5: It's a big red rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. 263 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 5: We are santan Ford, Paul calvic Ron Wilfley, and there's 264 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 5: your top two pass catchers. By the way, speaking of fits, Larry, 265 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 5: get used to the fact that Trey mcplay now has 266 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 5: more catches in a season than you ever had. Of 267 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 5: course there's seventeen games now, but one hundred eleven catches 268 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 5: eclipses Larry's best. Twice in his career, he had one 269 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 5: hundred and nine catches in a season, and by the way, 270 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 5: through the first three years of a career by a 271 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 5: tight end in NFL history, nobody has more catches than 272 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 5: Trey McBride, as he passed George Kittle in that department 273 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 5: he had two sixteen. Trey now has two twenty one 274 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 5: after a Pro Bowl campaign. 275 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: Just absolutely incredible. Won an incredible season by Trey McBride, 276 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: and we saw shades of that last year. But this, truly, 277 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: this was his breakout in terms in terms of being 278 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: spoken of as the best tight end or one of 279 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: the best tight ends in the National Football League and 280 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: as far as Larry goes legacy comes to mind. I 281 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be just fine. 282 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 5: And it was interesting here Tray towards the end of 283 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 5: this season, just talk about his chemistry with Kyler, the connection, 284 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 5: how now they really know each other. And you know, 285 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 5: when pass rushers are breathing down the backside of Kyler Murray, 286 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 5: Trey knows where to go, how to get open, where 287 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 5: to be at the right time, all these sort of 288 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 5: things that are so critical in the game, where such 289 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 5: little things can be huge factors and whether a play 290 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: is successful or not. And for Kyler to have a 291 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 5: walk off performance in week eighteen, four touchdowns, no picks, 292 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 5: a passer rating in nearly one twenty nine, and to 293 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 5: do it in a fashion where he got rid of 294 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 5: the ball quickly, he was decisive. All the next Gen 295 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 5: stats said almost all his dropbacks and releases one or 296 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 5: two and a half seconds. You know, Look, momentum doesn't 297 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 5: carry over, but maybe just maybe a little confidence from 298 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 5: these last two games, specially in particular Wolf. I'm talking 299 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 5: about the downfield passing attack at the Rams and against 300 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 5: the Niners in week seventeen and eighteen. 301 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think that, honestly, that kind of confidence 302 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: can carry over. It's something JG actually talks about all 303 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: the time, and I believe that as well. You know, momentum, 304 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: I believe in momentum in a football game. I do 305 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: no JG. And I think might disagree on that, But 306 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: I believe in momentum in a football game. I don't 307 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: believe in momentum carrying over to the next week. I don't. 308 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: I don't believe momentum is going to carry over to 309 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: the next year. I don't. But based on what you 310 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: just said and confidence carrying over, you better believe it. 311 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: That's what it's all about with PAULI. When you talk 312 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: about the development of a young football player, look at 313 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: year one to year two. Juxtapose those two years, and 314 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: the improvement that a guy will make from year one 315 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: to year two is typically profound. That improvement right there. 316 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: So to me, I look at that and I think 317 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: that is just part of the evidence for confidence being 318 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: able to carry over from one season to the next. 319 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: The first season you're out there, you really don't know 320 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: what's going on. It's your rookie year and things are 321 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: coming at you so fast, and yet that second year, man, 322 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: you know you can do it. In the confidence builds 323 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: up inside of you and everything slows down in that 324 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: second year. And it's one of the reasons why I 325 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: believe Manti asin Fort and the Arizona Cardinals have a 326 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: two year window when they look at guys when they 327 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: bring them in, they're gonna give them two years for 328 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: the most part, and you better show them that you 329 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: can actually play or you might be gone after those 330 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: two years. 331 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 5: And we'll get into the guy who had that second 332 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 5: touchdown catch in the montage there, Marvin Harrison Junior, because 333 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 5: that obviously directly applies to the rookie. But first, here's 334 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon on what he saw from his franchise quarterback 335 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 5: Kyler Murray in twenty twenty four. 336 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 6: He's a top level franchise quarterback and he's played like that. 337 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 6: He's shown that, you know, I think the best teams win, 338 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 6: you know, so we got to make sure we have 339 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 6: the best team, and he understands how he fits into that. 340 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 5: He also said on Monday, quote, Kyler's a competitor and 341 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: we're going to go where he takes us. I know that. 342 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 5: So that was that was interesting. But you know, you 343 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 5: talk about building the team and you look at an 344 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 5: epic year by Joe Burrow, for example, over forty touchdown passes. 345 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 5: I mean, Jamar Chase won the Triple Crown of receiving. 346 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 5: Yet yet the Bengals just missed the playoffs. Why really 347 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 5: bad defensive guy lou Aniroumo, the defensive coordinator fired porous, 348 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 5: offensive line didn't have much of a run game. So 349 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 5: you can be one of the best top three quarterbacks 350 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 5: in the world. But to JG's point, you better have 351 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 5: other elements around that queue. 352 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's so You're You're right on Balie, there's 353 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But there is a reason why 354 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: the franchise quarterbacks are typically the highest paid player on 355 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: the team, no doubt. And you know that's something that 356 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: you just can't escape. At some point in time, you're 357 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: gonna need your franchise quarterback to play great, especially the 358 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: bigger the game man, the better you want him to play. 359 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: And again, this is where Kyler Murray has got this 360 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: charge in front of him. He is a good quarterback, pably, 361 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. Kyler Murray, in my mind, 362 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: is a good quarterback right now. But his next step 363 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: is to become that great quarterback. So how does that happen. 364 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: You play great in big games and you win more 365 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: of those big games than you lose. 366 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 5: And he was asked at his final meeting with the media, 367 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 5: are you pleased with how you played? And Kyler said, 368 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 5: and I'm quoting loosely, a solid year, but not what 369 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 5: I wanted. Ultimately, No, And then he went on to say, 370 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 5: you know what, I'm going into year seven and everyone 371 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 5: including has to look in the mirror and see how 372 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 5: they can improve. And we know, for example, the interception 373 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: totals there was three before the bye, there was eight 374 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 5: after the buye. Here's Kelvin Beachrim. If there's one guy 375 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 5: you could consult in the locker room, how about Calvin 376 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 5: Beachum coming off year thirteen in the league. If you 377 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 5: want some wisdom and some knowledge and you want to 378 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 5: know about Kyler's development both as a quarterback and a leader, 379 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 5: guess what you ask beach. 380 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 8: I'm proud of him, honestly, I'm proud of the work 381 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 8: that he's doing. I think he's continuing to get better. 382 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 8: He needs to continue working on the details. I think 383 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 8: that's something that has a locker room we're all talking about, 384 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 8: and something that we think through and talk through quite 385 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 8: a bit as continuing to better our sales as a 386 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 8: potential to details. But I think he's really continuing to mature. 387 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 8: And I think, you know, being the franchise and being 388 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 8: somebody that this franchise looks to for the future, He's 389 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 8: somebody that has to be the guy. He has to 390 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 8: be the alpha, he has. 391 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: To be the leader. 392 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 8: That's just the nature of and I think he's really 393 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 8: starting to come into that role. 394 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 5: What do you think of when you hear those comments 395 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 5: from Kelvin Beachum. 396 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: I just think of, you know, the truth and the 397 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: fact that you have to always tell the truth. And 398 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: Beach is a truth teller, if you will. He's done 399 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: it before in the past, and it's one of the 400 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: reasons why he so looked up and revered in that 401 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: locker room as a leader because he does speak the truth, 402 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: or at least he speaks his version of the truth 403 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: right there. And the truth is Kyler Murray's got to 404 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: get better. And Kyler knows that and has said it himself. 405 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: He's got to get better. He's got to make that 406 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: jump that leap to me from being that good quarterback 407 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: to being a great quarterback. I think he's going to 408 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: do that, PAULI, I think he's going to show that 409 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: he can be that great quarterback. I think at the 410 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: heart of that is going to be the chemistry between 411 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: he and Marvin Harrison Junior. 412 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 5: Beach used the word details both for the offense and 413 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 5: for Kyler. Do you think he's referring to For example, 414 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 5: Cardinals spend much of the season and is the least 415 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 5: penalized team in the league, but in some critical moments 416 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 5: in some games down the stretch, that was a problem. 417 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 5: Some of the pre snap penalties, maybe some of the 418 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 5: other factors with some of the young players and assignment 419 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 5: and alignment. That's the way I read that. I don't 420 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 5: know that's strictly a thought bubble. Is there anything else 421 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 5: that comes to mind when he says the word details 422 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 5: as a team we need to work on? 423 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: No, not really. I mean, once again, I think you know, 424 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: details could mean an awful lot of things, not just mentally, 425 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: but physically as well. Where to throw the ball when 426 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: you've got Marvin Harrison Junior split out to the right, 427 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: Where exactly should that ball go? Should it go back 428 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: shoulder or should it go over the top based on 429 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: where he is? Those are details right there. They can 430 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: be physical, they can be mental, they can be spiritual 431 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: for the cryod out loud, whatever it might be. But 432 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: to me, again, it comes down to the chemistry between 433 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior. Pauley, I told you this, 434 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: and I mean this. If everything was the same this year, 435 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: if the defense overachieved the way that the defense did 436 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: this year, and if you had the offensive line play 437 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: the way they played, and James Connor running the ball 438 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: the way that James Connor was running the ball, if 439 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: you did nothing else but improve the chemistry between Kyler 440 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior, I think it's a playoff team. 441 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: I think if you tell me that that chemistry improves 442 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: the way that I think it's going to improve next year. 443 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: And that's the only thing that gets better on this team. 444 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: They win ten. 445 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 5: Games, and look, history says that receivers, more than any 446 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 5: other position, take longer to acclimate. I think guys like 447 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 5: me and I'll own it. I mean, right after the draft, 448 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 5: I penciled him in for a Justin Jefferson Jamar Chase 449 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 5: rookie year going to the Pro Bowl, fourteen hundred yards 450 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 5: double doubles, and obviously it took a little more than that. 451 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 5: There was some inconsistency, there were remarkable moments, there were 452 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 5: great games, and then by two catches on seven targets. 453 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 5: But I do believe the last two games we saw 454 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 5: it deep shots down the sideline, they connected on those 455 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 5: back shoulders, which they were trying to do all season long. 456 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 5: And a couple of comments from Marvin Harrison Juniorrary said 457 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 5: after the Rams game, I had some different routes that 458 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 5: I got to run. Drew Petsing saying, you know what, 459 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 5: he was more physical at the top of his routes, 460 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 5: meaning getting separation, Kyler saying, we put him in position 461 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 5: to win. So I think it was also a matter 462 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 5: of figure out how best to use Marvin Harrison Junior 463 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 5: and make him his most productive. 464 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: But not only that, PAULI, now, that's got a transfer 465 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: over to when it matters the most, when you have 466 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: a big game. That's got a transfer over where you 467 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: make those throws. 468 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 5: That yeah, no doubt. Hey, I listen to Arizona Cardinals 469 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 5: content on the go Arizona Cardinals podcast, Apple Podcasts, Spotify 470 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 5: or Easycardinals dot Com slash podcast.

Hill caught it and tackled 474 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 3: immediately by Buddha Baker. It's going to be a negative play. 475 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 3: And now they're saying incomplete as Hill and Buddha Baker 476 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: are jawing a little bit. 477 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 6: He's not bagging down from anybody, man. I mean, he's 478 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 6: a captain for one of the reasons he's a captain 479 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 6: is his intensity and his mode of play. And that's 480 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 6: how he's always been. And he's going to max out 481 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 6: every single snap and he ain't backing out from anybody. 482 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 5: And is Jonathan Gannon and his Pro Bowl safety's seven 483 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 5: time Pro bowler Buddha Baker, who went face mask to 484 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 5: face masks with Tyreek Hill early in that win at 485 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 5: the Dolphins, and Tyreek Hill was trying to let Buddha 486 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 5: know something, and Buddha let him know that I'm going 487 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 5: to be here all day and I'm going to be 488 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 5: tracking and bagging you like he did in the flat 489 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 5: on that play at his ears on a Cardinal's Big 490 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 5: Red Rage. Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley and wolf you've seen 491 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 5: a lot of football. You've seen a lot of ball 492 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 5: from a lot of Pro bowlers over the years. You've 493 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 5: been to four Pro Bowls yourself. You've been aroun on 494 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 5: the greats like Walter Payton and company. But what did 495 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 5: you think of a career year from Buddha Baker ended 496 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 5: up second in the league with one hundred and sixty 497 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 5: four tackles. 498 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: Oh, PAULI, I mean, where do you start in regard 499 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: to Buddha Baker? Oh? My goodness. The very first thing 500 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: I have to say is, I don't think I've ever 501 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: seen a better football player than Buddha Baker. I've seen 502 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: a lot of great football players, but I don't think 503 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: I've seen a better one than Buddha Baker. He might 504 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: be right there in the top three. There might be 505 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: a couple of guys tied with him, a Jerome Bettis 506 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: by way of example, Jerome Bettis and how he used 507 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: to run the ball. But Buddha Baker, over and over 508 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: and over again, how many times I have said this. 509 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: It is so challenging and impressive to watch him on tape, 510 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: line up and go to the wall one percent on 511 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: every play. Just don't find that, Paulie A lot, and 512 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: yet that's what Buddha does. 513 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 5: Nick Rawlis, when we asked him about Buddhist season late 514 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: in this campaign, said he plays like a bullet. That 515 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 5: was the defensive coordinator. We'll get into Nick Rawlis in 516 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 5: a moment. I bring that up because Wolf on Cardinals 517 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 5: Underground the podcast this week, I detailed how we had 518 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 5: a KELVC consulting season long IT team investigation exactly how 519 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 5: and why was Buddha having this sort of campaign, In 520 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 5: what way did they unlock Buddha Baker and I got 521 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 5: a lot of resistance. Early, no one was talking, but 522 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 5: towards the end people let me know that indeed his 523 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 5: role did change in year two in the scheme, they 524 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 5: allowed him to play where he had more eyes on 525 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 5: the quarterback more often. They put him more in what 526 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 5: they call the hooks, more inside to attack that it 527 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 5: wasn't as easy for a quarterback to just audible and 528 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 5: go one side or the other away from Buddha Baker. 529 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 5: And then at the same time, when he decided did 530 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 5: decide to to freelance, if you will, Although it was 531 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 5: certainly within the scheme, other guys knew it and were 532 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 5: prepared for it, and so he's tackle for loss against 533 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 5: the Niners, for example, the most recent one where he 534 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 5: just shot immediately made the tackle of the running back 535 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 5: in the backfield. Other guys knew to have his backside 536 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 5: in his coverage responsibilities because Buddha was going. And so 537 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 5: those were some of the things they did do. Unlock 538 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 5: Buddha Baker, if you will. I don't know if that's 539 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 5: the term the players would use, but sure, that's that's 540 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 5: what I was told here late in the year. 541 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: Well, you know what's interesting about that, PAULI, You're you're 542 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: absolutely correct. He played a lot more around the box 543 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: for the most part is where he was playing right now. 544 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: It was the adjustment that Nick Rowlss made. And when 545 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: I hear you talking about how they used Buddha Baker, 546 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Troy Polamalo. Yeah, right, thinking that that's 547 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: how they used Troy Polamalo and a lot of times too, Paul. 548 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: It was in Robert coverage. Robber is man across the 549 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: board with the free safety in the middle of the 550 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: field high and then you've got a lurk or a 551 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: free hitter down low, and that free hitter much of 552 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: the time was Buddha Baker and that's exactly what Troy 553 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: Polamalo you should do as well with the Pittsburgh Steelers 554 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: for all of those years. But making a mistake about it. 555 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: Nick Rawlis schemed it up, man. He schemed it up 556 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: this year. Now, every defensive coordinator I know would prefer 557 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: to have four guys that they could count on to 558 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: rush the passer, and let me drop seven. Four guys 559 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: who could rush the passer, get pressure on that quarterback, 560 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: get in his face, move him around, put him under 561 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: durest so when he throws the ball, those seven guys 562 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: that dropped might have a chance of actually picking that 563 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: thing off. Every defensive coordinator wants that. That was not 564 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: the fate for Nick Rawlis this year. That was not 565 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: what was happening on the football field. He had to 566 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: scheme a lot of pressures up and he did a 567 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: great job of it. 568 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 5: Seventeen different players with a least one sack apiece, a 569 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 5: dozen players with at least two sacks a piece, so 570 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 5: it was coming from anywhere and everywhere at different times. 571 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 5: But once again, team captain Buddha Baker led the way. 572 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 5: And here he is on the trust from the team 573 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 5: and his goal ultimately. 574 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 9: Just for them to be able to continue to trust 575 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 9: in me to be that certain player you know, on 576 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 9: and off the field. For me, was special. And you know, 577 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 9: my main goal is getting the super Bowl here in Arizona, 578 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 9: and that's what I've stuck my mind to and I'm 579 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 9: going to try to lead, you know, the players and 580 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 9: team to get to that point. 581 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 5: Again. The third most tackles by a defensive back in 582 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 5: the NFL since at least nineteen ninety one. Let that 583 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 5: hang in the air. That's the kind of year he had. Now, 584 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 5: the Cardinals defense as a whole over the final eleven games, 585 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 5: allowed less than twenty points per game, and only three 586 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 5: teams allowed fewer over that span. So to your point, 587 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 5: Nick Ross obviously was at the epicenter of that as 588 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 5: a defensive coordinator in conjunction with a head coach who 589 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 5: used to be a defensive co New York fact, here's 590 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 5: Jag And when we asked him about the rise and 591 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 5: emergence of Nick Rawless this year. 592 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 6: You know, when I say we got a bunch of 593 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 6: guys in there that are gonna be head coaches, he's 594 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 6: one of them. I know that just from a development standpoint, 595 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 6: from a schematic standpoint, about understanding the game, about understanding defense, 596 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 6: about understanding offense. And then he's ascended extremely quickly. It's 597 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 6: it's because he's talented. I'd say this. I think I'm 598 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 6: a hard worker. There's no one that works harder than 599 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 6: this guy, point blank. I mean, he's the hardest worker 600 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 6: we got on our staff, and I'll tell anyone that. 601 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 5: So after the Cardinals held down Matthew Stafford to a 602 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 5: single touchdown in Week seventeen, after the game, he commented 603 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 5: on two things, One the physical nature of the Cardinals defense, 604 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 5: and two the scheme. It's hard to read, it's hard 605 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 5: to play against. And so based on that, I'm guessing 606 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 5: Nick Ross made, if he didn't already have it, made 607 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 5: for quite a reputation around the league. Those guys who 608 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 5: really know what they're looking at on films. 609 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: Oh, Paul, there's no doubt about that. I just think 610 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: of the sacks attempt, it's better, it's a better way 611 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 1: of looking at it, sacks per attempt than just sacks 612 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: on the year, but sax per attempt. The Arizona Cardinals 613 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: were number thirteen going into the forty nine Ers game. Okay, 614 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: number thirteen, Paully, tell me where are the great sack 615 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: masters on the Arizona Cardinals roster? Ye? Are they on there? 616 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: PAULI did it? We got a guy who's double digits. 617 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: Do we got a guy who's got sixteen sacks on it? No? No, no, 618 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 1: not at all. And there is a classic example of 619 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: what Nick Rolis did and the way he schemed it 620 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: up for the Arizona Cardinals to be almost in the 621 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: top third of the league. But number thirteen overall was incredible. 622 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: Another metric that is a big metric, the red zone. 623 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: The Cardinals did give up some yards out on the field, 624 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: they did, but they were still right in the middle 625 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: of the pack for the most part, and giving up 626 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: those yards, they were not in the bottom third of 627 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: the league. And yet once you got into the red zone, 628 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: they played so much better. A lot of that is 629 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: how that scheme is coached, and that was Nick Rowlis 630 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: as well. And they were in the top half of 631 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: the league getting number fourteen. As a matter of fact, 632 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: in twenty two point two points per game going into 633 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers game, that was number fourteen in 634 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Paul, the players that were there 635 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: did not match those numbers to me, and that tells 636 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: me that they're getting some great coaching and they're playing 637 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: in a great scheme. Yeah. 638 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 5: Last we checked, points on the scoreboard were the ultimate 639 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 5: and really only barometer. And if you use that going 640 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 5: back to Week seven, Cardinals allowed in NFL low twenty 641 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 5: touchdowns during that span, and think about it, they lost 642 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 5: Ball Nichols and Justin Jones. They're starting defensive tackles right 643 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 5: out of the gate, Essentially Dennis Gardik, who had a 644 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 5: three SAT game in Week two, then he went down 645 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 5: to a season in. 646 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: Who was also their best ad washer at the. 647 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 5: Time, so Zamon Collins, who really didn't rush the passer 648 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 5: all the time. They used Zamon Collins in so many 649 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 5: different ways, including inside dropping in coverage. Heck, we saw 650 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 5: him against Tyreek Hill playing center field. He ended up 651 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 5: as your leading sack man with five even to your point, 652 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 5: so a Cardinals defense that, admittedly Jonathan Agin and his 653 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 5: own TV show three four games into the season told us, Yeah, 654 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 5: we're having a hard time fitting the run, even when 655 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 5: we devote extra guys to the box. We got to 656 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 5: figure that out. They figured it out. They did that, 657 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 5: and so once again, Nick Rowlis, I'm very curious to 658 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 5: see what he has in store. And here's the other 659 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 5: thing to me is how much better the Cardinals fared 660 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 5: in the division from year one to year two. For example, 661 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 5: Kyraen Williams co rushed the Cardinals in last year with 662 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 5: over three hundred yards rushing between those two games. In 663 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 5: these two games this year, he had fifty plus yards 664 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 5: in each one, basically rendered a non factor. So Nick 665 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 5: Rawlis and company, they I think have a pretty good 666 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 5: foothold on what it needs, what they need to do 667 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 5: defensively against the division, and that was not the case 668 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three. 669 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: PAULI, I know this. I know this question I'm going 670 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: to ask you is going to be answered, and I 671 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: know exactly how you're going to answer it because you 672 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: were the one who told me this. But you talk 673 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: to some defensive players in that locker room and you 674 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: probably get about fifteen to twenty seconds in before they 675 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: bring up Nick Rowlis on their own, on their own, Paulie, 676 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: they're going to bring it up. What does that tell you? 677 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: The respect that they actually have for this guy, this 678 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: young guy, and how he goes about his business. Wow, 679 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: that's impressive. 680 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 5: Last week here in the Big Red Rage, did Roy 681 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 5: Lopez not use the words rockstar. 682 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: Yes, hey, learn more about. 683 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals season digg as a premium seating in the 684 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 5: luxury field seating go to Azycardinals dot Com slash tickets. 685 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 5: We continue with a big red Rage presented by santan 686 00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 5: Ford and Gilbert. 687 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 3: First and ten at the thirty one of San Francisco 688 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 3: bunch set to the right. Murray quick throw to the 689 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 3: right side, caught by McBride at the thirty and he 690 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 3: goes up into the air, hurdles a defender and gets 691 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 3: to about the nineteen fro at first down again at twelve, 692 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 3: he tried to jump over gi yeared ground and kind 693 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 3: of karate kicked him as he did. 694 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, Daniel's son grow strong. Grasshopper went up 695 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 4: into the air and he used the right leg is 696 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 4: a bit of a knee. 697 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 3: Maybe he's been watching the new season of Cobra Kai. 698 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 3: That's out right now. I mean, that's bound to happen 699 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 3: when you try to hurdle a guy, right. I mean, 700 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 3: the defenders they're not falling for it anymore. They're kind 701 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 3: of backing away. But I guess if you don't get jumped, 702 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 3: you get kneed right in the mouth. 703 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, grows strong grasshopper. 704 00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 5: Trey mchurdle strikes again. That's four this year. There were 705 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 5: three things that lit up the Cardinals sideline, the fake 706 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 5: pond DJ Dallas, the fight, the skirmish against Juwan Jennings, 707 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 5: and then there was Trey mchurdle going through the defender. Well, 708 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 5: if you've seen a lot of football moves in your time, 709 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 5: where does that one rank you? 710 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: Polly? Nobody used to do this, really, you know, I 711 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: mean from time to time, and then when I say that, 712 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about maybe six seven years you'd see somebody 713 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: do it, but nobody, nobody does this and Trey McBride 714 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: watching him do it now in have you noticed, Paul, 715 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's just Trey McBride, but Trey 716 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: does it more than anybody else. He certainly did that 717 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: this year. But have you noticed even at the college level, 718 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: you're starting to see more of these hurdles, even at 719 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: that level, Yeah, no doubt. 720 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 5: And did you notice after the game when we asked 721 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 5: him about it, he said, and I quote, I jumped 722 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 5: up in the air and I was like, oh no, 723 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 5: this is not good. The guy met me up in 724 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 5: the air and I landed back on my feet. I 725 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 5: was just surprised. I wasn't down yet. I tried to 726 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 5: make a play and it worked out on my behalf. 727 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 5: I think he was shocked that he actually ended up 728 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 5: on his feet and got a few more yards. I 729 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 5: liken it to riding the nose of a surfboard, right, 730 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 5: That's what he was doing out there, and you knew 731 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 5: he was destined for stardom. On NFL Network, their most 732 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 5: popular segment in the mornings, Good Morning Football is Angry, 733 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 5: runs the Great Kyle Brandt.

Look out, look out, we have lift 737 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 10: off that is awesome? 738 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: Was that blossom root? 739 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 10: Was that he must bed doll? Oh my gosh, give 740 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 10: me a freeze framing McBride, who's not trying to jump 741 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 10: over the forty nine er, He's trying to jump through 742 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 10: him with physics freez this thing. It looks as if 743 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 10: the tackler is trying to put him in the overhead. 744 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 10: But as you know, items tend to shift to during flights. 745 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: That is absolutely Oh. Look at his kneecap is all 746 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: the way up by his own ear. 747 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 10: Trade McBride has done awesome things this year. This is 748 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 10: a player in the last week of the season who 749 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 10: knows he's not going to the playoffs and still wants 750 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 10: to smash smash some Niners.

What are you doing some decline press? 762 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: Trade you can add this to it. 763 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 5: This is your barn bell. 764 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: This is your workout now. 765 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 10: Trade McBride the winner of Angry Runs Week eighteen. Angry 766 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 10: Run Boom, Let's go. 767 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: Oh that is so good. 768 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 5: You enjoyed the tiki hud, because that's what you do 769 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 5: for your getaways, your vacation time. You get the tiki hud. 770 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: It's just, first of all, it looked like the tackler 771 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: was trying to put him in the overad. That's exactly 772 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: if you freeze it, that's exactly. 773 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 5: If it's an ink blot test, that's what it looks like. 774 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 5: You're right, It's like the luggage had overwhelmed the air passenger. 775 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 5: It couldn't actually hoist all said items. 776 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 1: Tender shift that was. That was good stuff right there by. Kyle. 777 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 5: See now, I was kicking myself about ten minutes after 778 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 5: I did the interview after the game. You know why, 779 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 5: because I hate it when I think of a good 780 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 5: question after the interview's over. I should have asked him 781 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 5: if he got that move from Sugar Shan O'Malley, the 782 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 5: UFC star and former kickboxing champ who came to Cardinals 783 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 5: practice mid season. I should have asked him if he 784 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 5: got that from Sugar Sean, because that's what that looked like. 785 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 5: And but once again, Kyle Brandt, there aren't many broadcasters 786 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 5: who can meet the moment of the actual play itself, 787 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 5: but Kyle Brandt We've coined the term per performance broadcasting, 788 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 5: and that's what Kyle Brandt does with those angry run segments. 789 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 5: They're just outstanding. 790 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: No, they really are pully and also too very applicable. 791 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: The game of football has become a very physical game 792 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: once again. I absolutely love it. The new schemes being 793 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: blended with the old schemes, and yet the physicality and 794 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: the way that physicality is now coveted once again in 795 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: the National Football League. I absolutely love it. So I 796 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 1: love the angry scepter runs. 797 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 5: And we talked ut Buddha Baker having an epic career year. 798 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 5: Trey McBride just real quick, well if just just a 799 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 5: comment on where he's going. This is year three for 800 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 5: Trey McBride, and I don't think it should go unnoticed 801 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 5: that in that game, Fred Warner, the best middle linebacker 802 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 5: on the planet, got schooled repeatedly by Trey McBride in coverage. Look, 803 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 5: Fred Warner can do most everything. He can't cover number 804 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 5: eighty five. Trey McBride has torched him more than once 805 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 5: in more than one game. 806 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. It's the area I 807 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: think that Trey McBride has improved the most is in 808 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: his route running and his ability to get open, especially 809 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: in zones. Recognize zones and then sit him down in 810 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 1: some soft areas of those zones, of course, and Kyler 811 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: with his eyes on him and being able to throw 812 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: the ball accurately to Trey. But the best thing is, 813 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 1: and you know the way I feel about this, you 814 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: can go in eleven personnel, one back, one tight end, 815 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 1: three wide receivers in run down situation first and ten second, 816 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: one to six, and you can run your offense. You 817 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: can put Kyler Murray under center. You can put him 818 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: in the pistol with James Connor behind him. You can 819 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: put him in the shotgun. You've got eleven personnel, which 820 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: is the dominant personnel group and run down situation in 821 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: the National Football League. And yet you can remain balanced. 822 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: You can run it or throw it because Trey McBride 823 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: will hold up at the point of attack and he 824 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: cares about blocking, and that to me says everything about 825 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: this kid. 826 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 5: Wild Card weekend coming up the playoffs football feedbag, Well, 827 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 5: if you're gonna strap it on for six games count 828 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 5: of six to two on Saturday, three on Sunday, a 829 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 5: Monday night game Vikings at the Rams, unless the SOCOW 830 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 5: wildfires are bad enough that it might be relocated to 831 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 5: State Farm Stadium. We'll see if that occurs. But is 832 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 5: there a game you're looking forward to the most in 833 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 5: that slate? 834 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: Boy, there really is, Pauly honestly. Right now, it's the 835 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,479 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. Of course, my brother 836 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: Craig being the radio analyst for the Steelers. But also 837 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: what a bloody sheets game that is going to be 838 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 1: right there. And I would have to say Saturday, even 839 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: though there's only two games on Saturday, when you think 840 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles Chargers of course going against the 841 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. That's the first game on Saturday, and then 842 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: it's Pittsburgh at Baltimore Saturday. Bally Man, Yeah, if you 843 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: like your foot ball physical, that's a good watch. 844 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 9: Yeah. 845 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 5: I mean, just Mike t against John Harbaugh three dozen 846 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,720 Speaker 5: times they've gone against each other. And then on Sunday, 847 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 5: I mean Packers at Eagles. You know Nick Sirianni, A 848 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 5: lot of eyes on Nick Sirianni and that Eagles team. 849 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 5: And we know what Jordan Love and the Packers did 850 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 5: in Round one of the playoffs. A year ago, they 851 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 5: absolutely trounced the Dallas Cowboys on their home turf. 852 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be really interesting. 853 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 9: Now. 854 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: I still am having a hard time with the whole 855 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: Jordan Love is good. Jordan Love is a guy that 856 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,359 Speaker 1: is actually going to develop into their franchise quarterback. I'm 857 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: having a really really tough time with that, going from 858 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,959 Speaker 1: brought Farv to Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. 859 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 5: By the way, the NFL dot Com just released there 860 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 5: are QB power rankings today. See we're already enlist season. Okay, 861 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 5: they had Jaden Daniels ahead of Patrick Mahomes, and after 862 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes also didn't make the Pro Bowl, I'm really wondering, 863 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 5: after Casey enjoys it's by if Patrick Mahomes is going 864 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 5: to put on a show the rest of the postseason 865 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 5: and just prove to everyone who's the best player on 866 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 5: the planet. 867 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 1: Still, oh yeah, I can't. I can't even imagine that 868 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,320 Speaker 1: right now. You know, would you pick against the Kansas 869 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: City Chiefs to win the whole thing, PAULI, would you 870 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: do that? 871 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 6: No? 872 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 5: Because they used the regular season as a preseason. They 873 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 5: did just enough to win each game they did just 874 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 5: enough to get the home field advantage. And now I 875 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 5: think you're gonna really see what they're all about. And 876 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 5: if you get Patrick Mahomes that little extra motivation, that 877 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 5: little extra chip on the old shoulder pad, look out. 878 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI. And you know what else is going to 879 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: be fascinating too. I think the Kansas City Chiefs are 880 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 1: going to win it all. How do you pick against 881 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: a team They're the two time defending Super Bowl champion 882 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: going for their third right now, having the kind of 883 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: year they had where they just won games when they 884 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: had to. What's going to be fascinating is watching Dan 885 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: Campbell and whether he's still that riverboat gamp in the postseason. 886 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, especially after they blew that big lead against the 887 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,399 Speaker 5: forty nine ers in the NFC title game year ago. 888 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: Just say it? 889 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, special thanks Executive producer Jim Amhunter, Associate producer 890 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,720 Speaker 5: Cody Fincher, Technical director Evan Reiser, Ron Wolfley on Paul Calvic, 891 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 5: this has been the Big Red Rage presented by santan 892 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 5: Ford and Gilbert.
