Also, we put the 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver position in the spotlight, more specifically Hollywood Brown 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: and Rondell Moore.

This guy's unbelievable. Cardinals Cover two is presented 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: by Hyundai Crowd, partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and by 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit Acycardinals dot Com Slash Podcasts. 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 3: He's at the ten half of five. 14 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: He's in again. So far hurry magic. 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: Whoa, here's Craig Griolude, Real quick? 16 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: Are you superstitious? 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm superstitious, but I okay, I 18 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: would contradict myself. I guessed a little bit on certain 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: things I would be superstitious about. 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: Okay, because we found out on Wednesday that DJ Humphrees 21 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: is superstitious, and I'm not exactly sure if I'm buying it, 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: but it does make for a good story. We have 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: not heard from Hump in a while, one it was 24 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: good to see him back on the football field on Wednesday's. 25 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: Ota has been rehabbing on the side because of a 26 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: back injury that basically cut last season in half, but 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: mentioned that he had not spoken to us in a 28 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: group setting because he's superstitious. The season began so well 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: for him in twenty twenty two, played well and just said, 30 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe that's the reason because I'm not 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: I speak to the media. I enjoy it, but I'm 32 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: not going to anymore because I'm playing well. It was 33 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: a nice it was a nice answer. It just I 34 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: just didn't quite buy it because I miss hearing from Hump. 35 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: I haven't had a chance to fact check, but Hump 36 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 3: was saying that like the first three weeks of the 37 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two season, he didn't give up a single sack, 38 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: and so he kept pushing back talking to the media 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 3: seeing if that was correlated at all. So he joked 40 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: with us when he talked after practice Wednesday and said, yeah, 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 3: if you guys don't hear from me for a couple 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: of weeks and I'm playing real well, and now you 43 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: know the reason why. So there you go. But it 44 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: was really great to see him out on the field 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: and see him working with the rookie Paris Johntson Junior. 46 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: It was wonderful to hear from Hump, who is arguably 47 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: the best personality in that locker room. Actually, somebody phrased 48 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: a question in the media that he might be one 49 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: of the best personalities in sports, and Hump immediately interrupted 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: the question and said, yes, I am. 51 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: It was great to hear from him, and that's why one. 52 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: And this is something that we learned when Humphries was drafted. 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: He had that personality from the get go. And when 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: you have players like that, young players that come in, 55 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: whether they're drafted, signed as unrestricted free agents, you want 56 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: them to do well because they're a joy to talk to, 57 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: whether just one on one or in a group setting, 58 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: because they are there's always something there, And with Humphreys, 59 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: there is always something there. He always keeps it like, 60 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: keeps it entertaining. But when necessary, yeah, he'll get serious 61 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: when needed. Right now, in the offseason, you can joke 62 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: around a little bit. But to your point about him 63 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: and Paris Johnson Junior, the interactions between those two. I 64 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: think it's a telling sign and it's a credit to 65 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: Humphries because the question was asked, you know, you're helping 66 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: out someone that is your heir apparent. The goal is 67 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: for Paris Johnson Junior to be the future left tackle. 68 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a end date for every professional athlete. 69 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: And Humphries gets it, understands it, and then brought up 70 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: that look, I'll do whatever I need to do to 71 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: make sure Paris Johnson Junior is ready and able and capable, 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, it's what's best 73 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: for the team. Goes back to what Jonathan Gannon says, 74 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: team first, you second. 75 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: It was a really interesting conversation really with Humphries because 76 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: it was a couple of questions on that topic with 77 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: the media about how when I had asked DJ about Paris, 78 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 3: he joked and said, yeah, he's not like a young 79 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 3: hump Win when I came into the league, who thinks, 80 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: you know, drafted and knows everything. And Humphries was talking 81 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: about how when he was new to the league, it 82 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: was very popular that a lot of the veteran offensive 83 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: linemen around the league wouldn't really go out of their 84 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: way to help you because you don't want to help 85 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: your competition. And Humphries has said that's not the type 86 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: of person he is. It's not the kind of player 87 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: he's wanted to be. So he's been really about not 88 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: wanting to be that type of veteran and so we 89 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: saw him. Paul Cavic tweeted a video of Humphreys helping 90 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: out Paris a little bit on a move one on one, 91 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 3: and when it was brought up about the fact that 92 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: the Cardinals drafted what you would hope would be the 93 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: future left tackle, Humphries smiled and said, look, every year 94 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: I've been here, they've drafted tackles and guards and I'm 95 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: still here, and not in a cockyway, but in a 96 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: confident way of he knows his abilities and he's not 97 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: going to change the way he goes about his day 98 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: to day business on and off the field to be 99 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: ready for Week one because they drafted Paris Johnson Junior. 100 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 3: The caveat to that is Paris Johnson Junior is the 101 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: second first round offensive lineman the Cardinals have selected in 102 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 3: fifteen years, and so if they felt that way to 103 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 3: draft DJ Humphries, the other first round offensive lineman draft 104 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: pick for the Cardinals. They think pretty highly of Paris 105 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: Johnson Junior. However, I did think that it was a 106 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 3: really nice conversation the way Humphreys was talking about how 107 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: important it is to make sure that Johnson and the 108 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: other rookies and even the other veterans who have been 109 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: around the league to our new faces here, that everybody's 110 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: on the same page, because what we've seen from this 111 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 3: offensive line the last couple of years is the importance 112 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: of versatility and depth when it comes to adversity and 113 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: it comes to injuries, and Humphries was talking about how 114 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: he wants to make sure everyone understands what's going on 115 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 3: and everyone's on the same page so that whoever ends 116 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 3: up next to him is able to give their best 117 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 3: and they're able to work cohesively. 118 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: He mentioned about the importance of the offensive line quote, 119 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: people don't understand the importance of the offensive line, and 120 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: still those guys are not out there. And it's true 121 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: because if you don't have a solid offensive line, you 122 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: don't have a solid offense. If you don't have a 123 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: solid offense, you're not scoring points. You're not scoring points, 124 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: you're not winning ballgames. So yeah, it does begin an end, 125 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: as they say in the trenches. The difference though in 126 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: this situation you mentioned it. Paris is a first round 127 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: draft pick. The closest thing to a tackle getting drafted 128 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: before Paris Johnson was Josh Jones. But that's a Day 129 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: three selection, so there is a little bit of a difference. 130 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: But it's just good to see that help, that assistance 131 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: the veteran. And yeah, humphreyes is a veteran, even though 132 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: he still kind of sometimes acts like a rookie or 133 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: a young player. It's still kind of odd to have 134 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: him mentioned as far as the longest tenured Arizona Cardinals, 135 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: whether offense, defense, or special teams. And that's the credit 136 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: to Humphreys. But willing to put your arm around the 137 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: young kid and say, all right, this is what we do, 138 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: this is what is expected, and to Paris his credit. 139 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 1: According to hump he is a student first and knows 140 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: what he does not know, which I think is everything 141 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: for someone coming into the league. Even though there's a 142 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: high expectation and a high ceiling for your first round 143 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: draft pick, who the Cardinals might have been looking at 144 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: with the third overall pick, let alone the sixth overall. 145 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: Selection, I think it's pretty easy to understand why. When 146 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: had coach Jonathan Gannon spoke to the media Wednesday prior 147 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: to Humphreys taking the podium when asked about Humphries and 148 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: what he brings not only to the field, but adds 149 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: in the locker room, and Gannon said that that is 150 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: one of the players he relies on when it comes 151 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: to creating that culture and being a leader and helping 152 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: out the younger guys. And I think it's clear to 153 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: see why Gannon feels that way. 154 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: Good news is that Humphreys is trending in the direction 155 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: that he will be ready week one or even going 156 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: before that training camp, because Humphreys has been the mainstay 157 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: before last season, he had started forty eight's of forty 158 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: nine games. But that back issue and not that Humphreys 159 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: not that he was scared, but anytime you mentioned back 160 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: and then the possibility of surgery. 161 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 3: Especially for a big guy, an offensive lineman. 162 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: And Humphreys mentioned that it was only three months ago 163 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: that he was able to maybe in his head, all right, 164 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't need back surgery because once you have surgery 165 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: on your back, now the rehab is much longer, and 166 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: then there's just such the unknown about all right, how 167 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: you're going to feel coming out of it, And it's 168 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: one thing did just do the day to day things. 169 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: Another thing to play offensive lineman where you're bending down 170 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: and the back is getting pulled and pushed in different directions. 171 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: How are you after back surgery. So they're going to 172 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: be cautious with Humphreys because he is still your franchise 173 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: left tackle. But we have seen the progress from in 174 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: the weight room on the side of the field and 175 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: then now actually on the field doing a little bit, 176 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: not a whole lot, but again, baby steps for your 177 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: franchise left tackle. 178 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 3: It's great news he didn't need back surgery. That's not 179 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: easy for anyone to come back from and play football 180 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: and again a big player. Which was interesting because when 181 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: we were watching practice, we were kind of chatting on 182 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: the side and thought, oh, dj Humphreys looks a little slim, 183 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: which makes sense if you're really focusing on rehab. He's 184 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 3: not hasn't been able to lift maybe as heavily as 185 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: he would have at other times at this point in 186 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 3: the offseason because you're recovering from that back injury. So 187 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 3: it makes sense he looks a little slim, and so 188 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: I asked him about it, of is this going to 189 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 3: be a new way of how you're going to look 190 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: at putting on weight coming off a back surgery or 191 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: not surgery, but a back injury rather of are you 192 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: going to maybe try and play a little slimmer and 193 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: not have as much you know, weight weight to deal 194 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 3: with And he laughed. He was like, I'm normally slimmer 195 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: than this. You guys just don't see me in the 196 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: off season. But I don't like to have to eat 197 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: as much as I do in the regular season to 198 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: maintain my weights in the off season. I just like 199 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: to eat when I'm hungry. And so he was saying, 200 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 3: he drops down to about two sixty five in the 201 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: off season and he's I think he said around two 202 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: ninety seven ninety eight as of late when he weigh 203 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 3: himself Wednesday, and the goal will be he'll hit his goal. 204 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: He said, you know, three oh five, three ten, which 205 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: is his normal playing way. But it was funny of 206 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: he was joke, which, look, we stream every press conference, 207 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: and I do recommend going and listening to what the 208 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 3: players and coaches talk about, but I really recommend going 209 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: and listening to DJ humphreyes on our website or official 210 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: YouTube channel because he's so great. But he was funny 211 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: when he was talking about his weight, because he says 212 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: he likes looking at himself in the mirror right now, 213 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: and he's ready, not ready to retire, but he's ready 214 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: though whenever he is done playing. He says, no problem. 215 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 3: I know, I'm gonna drop down to two fifty. I'm 216 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: gonna have a six pack. I'm gonna throw out all 217 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: my shirts in my closet because I'm not gonna need 218 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 3: to wear them anymore. He said, like, just by adjusting 219 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 3: his food to only eat when he's hungry, he drops 220 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 3: down naturally to two sixty five. So he said, there's 221 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: gonna be no problem. And well, of course he's happy 222 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 3: to put on the wakes. That means he's going to 223 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: be football ready. He said, he's not looking forward to 224 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 3: where those extra ten pounds or so are gonna go, 225 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: because he's not gonna like the way he looks in 226 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 3: the mirror as much. 227 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: On the roster, he's listed at three oh seven, which 228 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: is well he'll be once the season begins. But he 229 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: has that personality to where he would be phenomenal in 230 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: front of a camera or on radio not that we're 231 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: trying to replace anyone within the Arizona Cardinals broadcasting department, 232 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: but yeah, there was a and I'm glad it was 233 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: you that asked the weight question because typically it's the 234 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: question that you're not so sposed to ask another individual. 235 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: It's a little different in this. And really just because 236 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 3: he is coming off a back injury, of is that 237 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: going to affect how much weight? He said, he's really 238 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: focused on taking off the body fat. But I do 239 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: think about that too, like, oh, I don't ever want 240 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: to get asked about my weight and unless ask someone 241 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: about theirs. But it made sense for this and Help 242 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: was great. 243 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: Humphreyso made sure to mention that he's been quote a 244 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: fat boy my entire life. So that's part of where 245 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: his personality comes from. Because if you can distract or 246 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: be that distraction in the room, then all of a sudden, 247 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: your appearance is not the focal point. It's, oh, what 248 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: a great guy to be around. Let's make sure help 249 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: is around and in the room. 250 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: So many great talking points from that press conference. The 251 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: first question of really just asking how it felt to 252 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: get back out there, and he looks at Darren Urban 253 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 3: and he's like well, have you ever been in iss 254 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 3: or had silent lunch? And in my head, I'm trying 255 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: not to laugh Souse, I'm like, oh gosh, there's no 256 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: way Darren Urban missed a day of school, No less 257 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: had in school suspension or a silent lunch because he 258 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: couldn't keep quiet. And Dee said, that's how it felt 259 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: getting back on the field as I was in iss 260 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 3: or silent lunch and then reunited with my friends. 261 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Well, our colleague Darren was quick to point out and 262 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: bring up to Hump that no, I was a good student, 263 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: So I do not know what you are talking or 264 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: referring to no doubt Jay that yeah. 265 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: No, lot lots of good quotes from DJ Humphries. I 266 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: recommend going and listening to his press conference on Wednesday. 267 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: So one more week of on field and classroom activity 268 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals. Next week is mini camp. Mandatory 269 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: mini camp and I'll say this, Danny, Yeah, mandatory. But 270 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of players in attendance, whether on 271 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: the field or inside rehabbing. 272 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 2: I e. 273 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: Hump, zach Ertz, Kyler, Murray have not seen a lot 274 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: of players just not be here outside of Buddha Baker. 275 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: It's been well attended, and I think it bodes well 276 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: for not only the players, but the coaches as well. 277 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: And there's just a part of me that when you 278 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: have so much change and you're trying to make an impression, 279 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: Humphries doesn't have to worry about this. Coaches know what 280 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: he can do. But all this newness it benefits you. 281 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you be here for I'm not talking about 282 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: all ten OTAs. I mean Jalen Thompson, Isaiah Simmons were 283 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: not spotted on Wednesday, but they've been here. It's not 284 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: that you need to be here every day, but make 285 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: the effort to be here, be seen and start learning. 286 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: And that's what we've seen is that effort from the 287 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: players who were here last year of really making it 288 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: a point to be here and start to build chemistry 289 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 3: with their new teammates and accountability with this coaching staff, 290 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 3: making sure they understand the scheme and the nuances. Because 291 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: there is a learning curve. It's not as big of 292 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 3: a curve if you are a veteran and maybe you've 293 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: moved around the league a few times and have seen 294 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 3: a bunch of things, but that's still there for every player, 295 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 3: and that was something that I believe it might have 296 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: been brought up to Zave and Collins earlier in the 297 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: week by the media, and so it was kind of 298 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: talked about since then. Is the feeling of pressure of 299 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 3: there's no this coaching staff isn't held to anybody in 300 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: particular that was here before them. So you have to come, 301 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 3: and you have to come prepared, and you have to 302 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: give it your all, and you have to show that 303 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: you are making an effort and that you are progressing 304 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: in the film room and out on the field, and 305 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 3: that it's a little good to have some pressure because 306 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 3: that's how people are going to be sharp, and they're 307 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: going to be on their a game, and they're going 308 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 3: to know you have to come and you have to 309 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 3: prove why you deserve to be on this team. 310 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: Pressure can be a good thing because it can bring 311 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: out the best in individuals. And there's a couple of 312 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: individuals that we heard from on Wednesday within that wide 313 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: receiver room, Hollywood Brown and Rondell Moore, where I believe 314 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: that there is some pressure, whether by us from the 315 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: outside or just themselves, and they're looking at their playing future. 316 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: And let's start with Hollywood Brown because the pressure that 317 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: he is under, and I don't think he feels it himself. 318 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: Just listening to him on Wednesday, he has that confidence 319 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: in himself and his ability to where now all of 320 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: a sudden, there is no DeAndre Hopkins, there is no 321 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: aj Green. 322 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: He talking about. 323 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: Hollywood becomes your number one wide receiver. And we've had 324 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: the conversation before, Danny here on previous episodes of Cardinals 325 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: Cover two presented by Hyundai, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. 326 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: I do not believe that Hollywood right now is a 327 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver by default. He is within this team. 328 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: And when I say number one wide receiver, I'm talking 329 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: about those receivers and there's only a handful, maybe a 330 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: third of the league has a number one wide receiver 331 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: to wear Opposing defenses, the defense focuses on that player. 332 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: We always talked about d hop dictates coverage. I don't 333 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: think Hollywood Brown is in that spot yet, can he? 334 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: I think that's the question that we need to get 335 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: an answer here this season. 336 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: Here. I think that might have been the first time 337 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: I've heard you explain it in that sense, which makes 338 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 3: you feel like we're maybe not so far in how 339 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: we view Hollywood Brown being a number one receiver. I 340 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: see what you're saying in terms of around the league, 341 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 3: right the Justin Jeffersons, the Stefan Diggs. I understand you 342 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: feeling that way. I think where we had differed in 343 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: the past is that you have a little more hesitation 344 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: than I do in the belief that Hollywood Brown not 345 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 3: to necessarily put him in that category, but that I 346 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 3: think I feel stronger that he can be that type 347 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: of number one receiver that does dictate the way defenses 348 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 3: are covering him and covering this team. And I understand 349 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 3: the fact that in his first year as a Cardinal 350 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 3: last year he was injured, He got injured Week six 351 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 3: in Seattle with a foot injury, and we never got 352 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 3: to see him play with DeAndre Hopkins and kind of 353 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 3: see that one a one B type receiver. However, Hollywood 354 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 3: has been that go to receiver before in his career 355 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 3: in Baltimore, and he has this such a strong connection 356 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 3: with Kyler Murray dating back to their time at University 357 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 3: of Oklahoma, being best friends, being able to communicate without 358 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 3: talking and knowing what the other is thinking, that I 359 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: think if we can again We're not going to have 360 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: a full season because Kyler Murray's coming off an ACL injury. However, 361 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 3: I do think that connection is so strong that if 362 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 3: other pieces of the offense that were really lacking last 363 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: year can just kind of click a little bit more, 364 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 3: which makes you feel hopeful with the scheme changes that 365 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 3: I do see Hollywood Brown really being able to shine. 366 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: And that's not there's no other option when you look 367 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: at this wide receiver's room. Hollywood has to step up 368 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: and he has to be that type of player and 369 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 3: I don't really have a doubt that that can't be him. 370 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 3: And I think his speed is what really makes him 371 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 3: stand out to have that ability. 372 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: We did see moments of it, flashes of it early 373 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: last season. Without de Hoop on the field, Hollywood became 374 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: that number one guy and excelled very well. Still finished 375 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: the season leading the team in catches and second in 376 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: receiving yards. But with the focus now all on him, 377 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: the spotlight on him, and the other pressure of it's 378 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: a contract year. I mean that's you know, that kind 379 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: of pressure does one of two things. Either it motivates 380 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: you and all of a sudden, oh, they're performing well 381 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: because of his contract year, or you wilt under that 382 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: pressure because it's so much, because you're thinking beyond this season. 383 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: I don't get that sense from Hollywood because he'd I 384 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: wouldn't say he dismissed it when asked about it, but 385 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: he did say, quote, I got to put in the work. 386 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: Talking about it won't get it done end quote. And 387 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: that's the one thing I can say about Hollywood just 388 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: listening to him on Wednesday, is his confidence in his 389 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: own ability because he does put in the work every 390 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: single day. 391 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 3: Well, I will say this, if he doesn't have a 392 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: great year that warrants a new contract with the Cardinals, 393 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 3: what are the odds he has a great enough year 394 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 3: to warn a contract with another team where he would, 395 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: you know, have the same opportunity. So I see that 396 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 3: in a sense of him probably wanting to just go 397 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: and ball out for a new contract, not necessarily just 398 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: thinking about like Cardinals or what's on the line. If 399 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 3: you want to go out and you want to have 400 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: a great year, and especially because he wasn't able to 401 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 3: have even a full season last year, I'm sure that 402 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 3: that's probably more on his mind maybe than the contract 403 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 3: of I want to go out and just prove what 404 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: I can do, and I think in order for him 405 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: to reach that level to a certain extent of being 406 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: that top receiver, you're really going to need the other 407 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 3: receivers around him to do their part and try and 408 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 3: shine in whatever way they can to try and make 409 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 3: things a little more difficult for the defense as they're facing. 410 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: Well, that's what was so successful about Hollywood in the past, 411 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: as he had Mark Andrews with the Ravens, where defenses 412 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: had to account for the tight end. Now here, what 413 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: the Cardinals on offense is that Zach Ertz if healthy. 414 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: Is that a Rondell Moore on the other side, or 415 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: lined up next to a Hollywood Brown, Is that James 416 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: Connor in the backfield? There has to be more than 417 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: just a Hollywood Brown for this offense to move the 418 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: ball up and down the field, get into the end zone, 419 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: and for these players to be successful. You can't just 420 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: rely on one singular individual. And right now, there's gonna 421 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: be a lot of attention on Hollywood just because he 422 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: is that one consistent presence who has a resume. Everyone 423 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: else you can poke holes in, even some of the 424 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: newcomers Zach Pascal, who didn't have a lot of targets 425 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: a year ago, was targeted a lot when he was 426 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: with the Colts, So can you go back to those 427 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: three years prior to his season in Philadelphia in twenty 428 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: twenty two. So I'm anxious to see how it all 429 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: fits together, because I don't think it's just gonna be 430 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: all right, Hollywood. You're gonna line up on the left side. 431 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: Your speed is too good, You're burst off the line 432 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: of scrimmage is too good. You're going to move around, 433 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: and JG talked about that vertical speed and the horizontal 434 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: speed as well coming across the middle. 435 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 3: The players are obviously not going to give away much 436 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: of anything. When asked about the new scheme with offensive 437 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: coordinator Drew Pencing, everybody spoke very highly of it. And 438 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 3: the only thing we're really getting from players is that 439 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot more movement and a 440 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 3: lot more running the ball. And that's pretty much what 441 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: we've gotten. And I'm not sure we're going to get much. 442 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: More at this point less five wide unless you're looking 443 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: at second third and long of maybe fifteen to twenty 444 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: plus yards. Because Rondell Moore even brought up three receivers, 445 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: meaning you've got that tight end or an extra back 446 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: on the field. I don't think we're going to see 447 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: a lot of five wide ten personnel this season. 448 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: Right, And that was the point of I was going 449 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 3: to get to is just when it comes to receivers 450 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: like Hollywood Brown, like Rondo Moore, this scheme might be 451 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 3: able to be a little more beneficial for their strengths 452 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: and also leaning more into the strengths of your tight 453 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 3: end and your running back. So maybe a little more 454 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: cohesiveness and flexibility that's going to allow you to do 455 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 3: more things you want to do, maybe control the game 456 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 3: a little bit better. 457 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: Anxious to see what it all looks like. I don't 458 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: know if we'll get to see anymore next week during 459 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: mandatory Mini camp or we have to wait until training camp. 460 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 3: Quick question? Do you believe safety Buddha Baker when he 461 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 3: said recently to Cam Cox of twelve Sports that when 462 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 3: it's time to show up, he'll show up. Are we 463 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 3: believing Buddha Baker will be here for mandatory Mini camp? 464 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: I do same. That's agreeing on something. All it takes 465 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: is Buddha Baker. 466 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: And I also believe that Antonio Hamilton, who we also 467 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: have not spotted during open practices will be here as Wallen. 468 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: Calvin beacham again present on Wednesday as he was on Monday. 469 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting Beach to show up until mandatory mini 470 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: camp because there are a handful of players out there. 471 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would put Hamilton in that category. 472 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: But if you're secure in your own skill set and 473 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: your position on the team, this is voluntary. You don't 474 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: need to be here now. Is it beneficial to be here? 475 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: I think so, at least from the outside looking in. 476 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: But we're talking about June, and none of this really 477 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: matters until you get to September. 478 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 3: I agree. It has been nice to see the amount 479 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: of veterans that have been here, which we were talking 480 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 3: about of a lot of that probably being the new 481 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: scheme and really want to make sure you're getting off 482 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 3: on the right foot. But I don't think there's a 483 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: question whether or not Buddha Baker shows up next week. 484 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 3: It would be a huge surprise if he is not here, 485 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 3: it would. 486 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: Be a major story. Now, he wouldn't be the first 487 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: veteran to miss a mandatory mini camp. In the past. 488 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: We've seen players Jordan Hicks, Chandler Jones where you're excused 489 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: or in the case of Rodney Hudson, not excused. And 490 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: that's the story in and of itself. But based off 491 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: the interview that Baker did with cam Cox, I'm expecting 492 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: number three to be seen. 493 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: That's a good point is because. 494 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: Whether he's on or off the field is a differ 495 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: different story. But is he seen like a Kyler Murray 496 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: has been seen as opposed to going through position drills, 497 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: team work and all that stuff. 498 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: That's interesting. 499 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: That becomes a question for next week. 500 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 3: Interesting. The only thing that feels different is the other 501 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: players you mentioned. Is Baker's not in a contract here, 502 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: and I think that's a lot of this as he 503 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 3: is two years left on his contract, so he doesn't 504 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 3: necessarily have a ton of leverage. I don't really see 505 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 3: him doing any sort of hold in or not playing. 506 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 3: So I would think that if Buddha Baker is going 507 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 3: to show up, I'm going to lean towards he's going 508 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 3: to show up and he's going to be practicing next week, all. 509 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: Right, something to pay attention to. Mandatory minicamp begins next Tuesday, 510 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: and then it's basically five weeks of freedom before training 511 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: camp begins. The other wide receiver. I wanted to bring 512 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: up as far as the pressure for this season, and 513 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: maybe it's more internal pressure and also a little bit 514 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: of an external pressure as well, and that's talking about 515 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: Rondell and the injury history that he has. And it 516 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: was brought up, what was it, three or four minutes 517 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: into his Q and A with the media. It had 518 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: to be asked, and when it was asked, I believe 519 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: it was by Darren Urban. You could tell and Rondell 520 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: Moore as great of an individual as he is not 521 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: great in a group setting in a formal setting, when 522 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: it comes to the media, he gives you what he 523 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: wants to tell you. 524 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 3: He's very reserved. 525 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: That's a great way to say it, not very open. 526 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: And when the question came up about injuries and the 527 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: new training staff shrink team, the look that Rondell Moore 528 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: gave was more of I get it, I understand it. 529 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: I still don't like it. And that's more probably not 530 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: against anyone that was asking it, but he understands that 531 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: he's two seasons into his league, going into year three, 532 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: and as he mentioned, he has not finished a season 533 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: and that is concern. 534 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 3: But what I did like about his answer there was 535 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 3: when asked about how that felt to think about the 536 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 3: fact going into year three and he hasn't played a 537 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 3: full season, it wasn't oh it sucks. It wasn't anything 538 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 3: out of my control. His answer was, I can't change that. 539 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: I can't. It is what it is. I can only 540 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 3: control what I can't control. And he had high praises 541 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 3: for this strength and conditioning staff and that he's been 542 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: focused less on strength like he was coming out of 543 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 3: college early in his career, and a lot more on mobility. 544 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 3: So you know that he is very aware of what 545 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 3: you know, obviously has been occurring to his body throughout 546 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 3: him the early parts of his career, and he's trying 547 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 3: to rectify that and trying to prevent any of those injuries. 548 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 3: He had groin issues last year, and he mentioned he 549 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: had two, you know, groin procedures. He had a pinky 550 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: that was all jacked up. If you follow him on Instagram, 551 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 3: you saw the wacky pitchure a couple months ago. That 552 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 3: didn't even give us a jump scare before he posted that. 553 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 3: So he said that he's been feeling good. He's been 554 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 3: working hard and also working intentionally. I understand why you 555 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: would feel hesitant because that's pretty much all the media, 556 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 3: understandably so has to really talk to you about. Is 557 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 3: not just how your role You're expecting your role to 558 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 3: change with this new offensive scheme, but it's really that 559 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 3: in its injuries because unfortunately he hasn't had a lot 560 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 3: to really build around his career other than that. So 561 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 3: I could understand maybe the hesitation or frustration if you're 562 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 3: constantly having to talk about those injuries and you're trying 563 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 3: to move past them, and that is what it is. 564 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: But I do like Rondale. He is very reserved when 565 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 3: he gets in front of the media, but when you 566 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 3: get a chance to talk with him one on one, 567 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 3: he's very sarcastic. He likes to joke around, have a 568 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 3: lot of fun. When I did the game on episode 569 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 3: the inaugural Rue last season where he played Mini bast While, 570 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 3: he was a blast to kind of poke some fun with. 571 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: So he's just very reserved, and I understand if you're 572 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 3: just kind it's only having to talk about the injuries 573 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 3: and what's prevented you from really making a huge impact 574 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 3: on this team. 575 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, if he didn't have this cloud hanging over him 576 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: all the time, then yeah, maybe he would be more 577 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: open and lighthearted. But when you're talking about okay, it's 578 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,719 Speaker 1: the groin, it's the hamstring, Whether here or in college, 579 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: there's always been something and he mentioned that again unfortunate, 580 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: but it's not something that he can't work to try 581 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: to avoid. And that's where that instead of trying to 582 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: get stronger, because he's got legs that are like three 583 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: times the size of an average human being, he is strong, 584 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: but is at the best for him based off of 585 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 1: his size and what is needed within this offense. They 586 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: don't need him to be strong one. They need him 587 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: to just be on the football field and they want 588 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: to see that speed we have not seen Rondell Moore unleashed, 589 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: if you will, And that goes beyond the let's split 590 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: him out pass and have throw it behind the line 591 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, but really take the top off and see 592 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: what he can do within this offense. 593 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: And that's why this is an incredibly important year for him. 594 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 3: Of if you're going to have a full season, which 595 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 3: is the goal every year, but if you're going to 596 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 3: come in healthy, you need to really show what you 597 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: can do since you have been so limited up until 598 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 3: this point in your career. And that's not just needing 599 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 3: to have a big year because you have a new 600 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 3: coaching staff, but also personally, like you want to go 601 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 3: out and you want to show Look, I know what 602 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: I'm capable of doing, and I haven't been able to 603 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: do that to the best my ability. Let me show 604 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 3: you what I can do now that I'll be healthy. 605 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: And again based off his size, much like a Hollywood Brown, 606 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: are you inside, are you outside? Are you both? And 607 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: how do you fit in? The taller wide receivers of 608 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: a Zach Pascal and am Michael Wilson. So you've got 609 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: a good mix here of those first four wide receivers 610 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens beyond that. Is Greg Dortsch 611 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: a part of that? Is there someone else? How many 612 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: wide receivers do you keep? If you plan on using 613 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: more tight ends within your offense, maybe you go shorter 614 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: as far as the numbers in that wide receiver room, 615 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: where you're not keeping six or seven like previous seasons 616 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: under Cliff Kingsbury. Maybe you just need five and depending 617 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: on what happens at running back or offensive line. But 618 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to stay on the field, 619 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: and that's the one thing Hollywood has not been able 620 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: to do at least warn't a Cardinals uniform, and certainly 621 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: Rondell Moore since he was drafted in the second round. 622 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 3: I'm very intrigued once we're able to get into training 623 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 3: camp in preseason really be able to see more of 624 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 3: what we're able to see in OTAs because the players 625 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 3: are limited in what they're physically able to do right now. 626 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 3: Michael Wilson, the rookie receiver, is very intriguing from how 627 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 3: people have talked about him. Jalen Thompson brought him up 628 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 3: last week of a receiver who has stood out. And 629 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 3: when Rondo Moore on Wednesday was asked about Wilson, immediately 630 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: big smile on his face, about the energy he has 631 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 3: and the type of learner he is. That as soon 632 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 3: as Michael Wilson was drafted, he got round Rondeo Moore's 633 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 3: number and he texted him about how excited he was. 634 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 3: And Wilson shows up and he asks all these questions 635 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 3: and he's here to learn, and it's very intriguing that somebody, Look, 636 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 3: you can only stand out so much, and OTA's right, 637 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 3: especially as a rookie, You're gonna have good days, You're 638 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 3: gonna have bad days. However, as somebody who is from 639 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 3: both sides of the ball now a name that has 640 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 3: come up from his teammates, it'll be very intriguing to 641 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 3: see Michael Wilson do a little bit more than what 642 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 3: we've been able to see. 643 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: Aside from Paris Johnson Junior, the most talked about rookie 644 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: has been Michael Wilson. And to your point, how much 645 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: can you really see or learn when you're basically just 646 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say going through the motions, but it's not 647 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: full speed. But just watch and for those when training 648 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: camp does arrive at State Farm Stadium, watch how Michael 649 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: catches the football. He doesn't catch it in his chest, 650 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: he goes and gets it, and he catches the ball 651 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: on the run. And if you can get those yards 652 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: after catch, which this team has struggled with, and that's 653 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: partly because of the way the offense ran, But if 654 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: you can throw that ball and throw the receiver open, 655 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: so to speak, and then all of a sudden, maybe 656 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: you're not that fast, but if your route running is good, excellent, 657 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, all you need is really 658 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: a half step and you're beyond that defender and then 659 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: you can get six seven, eight, nine, ten plus yards 660 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: after you've made the grab. 661 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 3: It's a great landing spot for a rookie. Of DeAndre 662 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 3: Hopkins no longer being here, he's one of the few 663 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 3: receivers who's really adding some height to a otherwise pretty 664 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 3: short receivers room. When Kyler Murray gets back healthy his ability, 665 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a pretty great spot if you're a rookie, 666 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 3: you're able to make the most of it. For someone 667 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 3: like Michael. 668 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: Wilson speaking of the rookie class. The newest flight Plan 669 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: episode talking about the rookies' debuts on on Thursday, June 670 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: eighth at seven pm on the Cardinals official YouTube channel. 671 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: Go inside the draft room on day one. All what 672 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: we appear, what we know is to be a hectic 673 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: ten minutes when the Cardinals were on the clock with 674 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: the third overall pick. You got Paris Johnson on his 675 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: first visit to the facility, Rookie Mini Caamp rookies at 676 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: a Dbacks game, and I believe also Michael Wilson featured 677 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: in the flight Plan episode that is debuting on Thursday, 678 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: June eighth. Our department always does a great job with 679 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: these taking you behind the scenes even access Danny that 680 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm not even aware of, or footage that I've seen of, 681 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: and I'm within this building. 682 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's because everyone tries to keep you. 683 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: Out of lip Craig do my best to be involved 684 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: in everything possible and sometimes just doesn't work. By the way, 685 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: one quick final note here when we talk about flight 686 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: planing flight specifically because who knows when you and I 687 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: will be in this room again, because I believe once 688 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: Mini Camp is done, are you not done? 689 00:34:58,960 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? 690 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: Forever done, forever. 691 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 3: That's my announcement. No, you can't get rid of me 692 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 3: that easily. Burgh Gang, Yeah, yeah, trust trust me. They 693 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 3: have tried to replace me. I'm like DJ HUMPHRIESO. They 694 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 3: bring in replacements and I'm still here. Uh No, I 695 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 3: am taking advantage along with most of our department, which 696 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 3: is fantastic of the break because the players will be off, 697 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 3: the coaches will be off, you know, around the fourth July, 698 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 3: so it's really nice that our department is going to 699 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 3: be able to take advantage of that break as well. No, 700 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 3: I am, I'll get to what you're talking about. I 701 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 3: am taking a big trip with my family overseas. Very excited. 702 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 3: We've never done a family vacation like this before and 703 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 3: I leave it about two weeks, so it was I 704 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 3: got a little stress. It was kind of close to 705 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 3: look on the app for this airline to look at 706 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 3: my first flight when I leave from Dallas over to 707 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 3: Italy with my mom and one of my sisters, and 708 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 3: I realized my flight. 709 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: Had changed, and I just sure, no one else is. 710 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 3: Mine and I did not know that, and I was 711 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 3: leaving much earlier than they were. And look, at the 712 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 3: end of the day, it would not have been the 713 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 3: worst thing, but Heaven forbid something happens. I don't particularly 714 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 3: want to be separated from them and having to deal 715 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 3: with reuniting with them or if you know, something crazy happened. 716 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 3: So I tried to fix it on my own and 717 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 3: was told that the flight was overbooked and I couldn't 718 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 3: get back my original spot, which I've never understood. Why 719 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 3: flights and hotels and you're overbooking. I don't like it. 720 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 3: So I called my dad, who is a lifetime platinum 721 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 3: member with this airline, and I just he was just 722 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 3: I just explained the situation. He said, okay, I'll handle it. 723 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 3: Ten minutes later, I get a text when we're watching 724 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 3: practice and it just says you're back in your original seat. 725 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know what he did. He 726 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 3: wouldn't tell me what I asked. He just took care 727 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 3: of it and he said, look, I'm already making my 728 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 3: contributions to the trip, so don't forget this. So big 729 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 3: shout out to my dad who got me back on 730 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 3: the flight with my mom and my sister for the 731 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 3: first to go over to Europe. So very grateful for 732 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 3: whatever it took for him to get back on that 733 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 3: to get me back on that flight. 734 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: Couple stressful hours alleviated just like that by mister Shirek, 735 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: just like that. 736 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 3: He's the best, awesome story. 737 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: And that's a great way to end because we know 738 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: he listens all the way to the end on every 739 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: single podcast show or whatever Danny is involved with.

I'm not sure the timing. I haven't 749 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: had a chance to ask what would be the odds 750 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 3: if I am abroad with my fami family and JG. 751 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 3: I believe he's going for like I think it's a 752 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 3: ten year wedding anniversary and I just see him and 753 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 3: his wife. I feel like if he saw me, he 754 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 3: would either one roll his eyes and walk away, or 755 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 3: the other option, he would like fall out of his 756 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 3: chair laughing at the coincidence.
