Slam to 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.599 the ground by Buddha Baker Like a torpedo, he came 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:22.920 flying into the backfield. The Rage is brought to you 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:28.440 by satan Ford in Gilbert or are you Santanford State 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.760 Farm Talk to an agent today at eight hundred State Farm, 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:37.640 And by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts Visit acy Cardinals dot Com, 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:46.479 Slash Podcasts, The Rods Rising Guard, Temperaturizing Vision, Flurring Rage, 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.479 taking it over. Here's Paul Calvc. Get the popcorn ready. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.360 It's gonna be a show and Ron will fleep. It 0:00:53.520 --> 0:01:00.440 doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far years ago, 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.080 Ron Wolfley, we gave you a T shirt. It was 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.560 a custom design T shirt just for you and a 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.000 few other select people. And this actually is in addition 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.000 to the prove it Everyday T shirt that you have 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.760 in your closet. This particular T shirt read and I quote, 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:25.760 effort beats talent if talent doesn't bring the effort. So 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.720 coach kyl VC is here to say that, you know, 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.800 you can throw the word energy in there. Energy beats 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.480 talent if talent doesn't bring the energy, because is that 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.959 not what we saw out there against Carolina. As the 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.240 bad news the bye week arrived two weeks earlier than expected. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.560 The good news, energy should not be a problem. It's 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.280 never a problem when the Cardinals go to Seattle because boom, 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.840 you go in and it's you against the world. And 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.520 so there's no better game in my opinion, based on 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.480 the last game we saw, than for the Arizona Cardinals 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.600 to go and take on the Seahawks on the road 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.520 right before the bye week. And here we are with 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.800 a big red rage featuring Jalen Thompson tonight, Ron Wolfley, 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.640 are you ready? I'm ready for that ballet? Really, but 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.000 you're so right on it right now. I mean, this 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.040 game is going to be the intensity of the Arizona 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.280 Cardinals versus the desperation of the Seattle Seahawks. That's what 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.280 it's gonna come. Doubt, listen it. It doesn't matter, Paul. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.080 It doesn't matter if Kyler plays or doesn't play. It 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.079 doesn't matter if Dha plays or doesn't play. It doesn't 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.600 matter if the twelves are there or they're not there. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.160 None of it matters. If the Arizona Cardinals go out 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.320 with the intensity we saw last week against the Carolina Panthers, 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.520 none of it matters because they'll get destroyed if that 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.680 happens again. It was almost as if the Cardinals took 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.480 a sick day, as in, we're sick of playing football. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.280 That's what it looked like to a certain degree. And look, 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.600 they have eleven games before the bye, so we'll see 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.160 what it's all about on Sunday. To your point, we 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.440 may or may not see Kyler Murray. And the injury 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.800 report has come out, the long awaited an injury report today. Yes, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.400 he is listed as limited limited. So there's what you 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.680 read as in the injury report and there it is, okay, 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.280 And then there's what they say and Kyler saying for 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.680 the second straight week that he's making quote crazy progress 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.600 in big strides. Okay, are you going to break something here? 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.160 Are you going to break a story? It's just my 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.280 own observation, Oh, your own observation, okay, literally an observation. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.960 There's what you see they allow you to see in 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.200 the open part of practice, okay, or talking about practice, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.400 man and there was Kyler and oh boy, he wasn't 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.400 just throwing a football round Wilfley. He was taking a 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.320 drop and throwing a football. He was moving his feet, 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.040 he was chopping his feet and moving around and throwing 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.400 a football, which is more than he did this time 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.600 a week ago. So maybe, just maybe that is something 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:57.240 that foreshadows his re emergence on Sunday. Yeah, Polly, honestly, 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.320 right now, I hope you're right about that, because I 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.280 do want to see Kyler Murray. There's no doubt I 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.600 want to see Kyler Murray out there. I think it's 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.080 important that he gets out there. Even though the bye 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.600 is coming, I understand that. I still think it's important 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.240 that he gets out there if he can play. Now. Again, 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.520 it's not a situation where you want to risk Kyler 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.440 Murray for the rest of the season. But we're talking 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.680 about an ankle here. I don't think it is a risk, 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.120 and every player has got to make up his own mind. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.440 It should be that way, Paulie. Every player has the right, obviously, 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.480 has the choice to determine whether or not he's going 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.800 to play based on the set of circumstances he's been given. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.200 None of it has anything to do with being a 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.480 franchise quarterback or not. It's just a personal decision that 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.360 Kyler Murray has to make. Let's hope Paul that he's 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.919 able to play, and I'd love to see that going 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.159 into the bye because we all know what the Cardinal's 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.440 offense looked like minus Kyler Murray against Carolina. They had 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.640 one hundred and sixty nine total yards. They got out 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.159 first down, if you will, twenty four to eleven. They 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.240 got out rush one sixty six to sixty five. So 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.240 they were a team that got down seventeen nothing, they 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.600 got down twenty three nothing. So it was glaring and 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.040 apparent what they were missing without not only Kyler Murray 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.400 but d Hop. They're only legitimate number one receiver on 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.760 this roster, and Cliff Kingsbury was asked an obvious but 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.760 very important question about that this week. Those are two 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.400 of the best players in the league. So there's things 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.520 that they have to do to try and account for 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.839 both guys, whether it's Kyler in the quarterback run game 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.119 each and every time he's handling the ball off or Hop, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.280 you know, any type of one on one situation, and 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.560 so you're gonna get played differently when those two guys 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.120 aren't are out there, that's for sure. What did Chase 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.240 Edmonds told us the first week of his first training 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.520 camp two years ago. This is for Kyler Murray, he said. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.760 Kyler Murray's an extra blocker in the run game. Sure, 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.719 because the defense asked to account for him running the ball. Yeah, 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.799 no doubt about it, PAULI. But right there, what Cliff 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:03.240 Kingsbury said, Make no mistake about it, when DeAndre Hopkins 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.800 and Kyler Murray are out there. Let's just take d 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.080 Hop by way of example. Right now, what do you 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.240 think defensive coordinators? What do you think they prep for 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.479 all week in regard to playing the Arizona Cardinals. What 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.320 do you think they do? Polly? What's job one when 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.520 it comes to d Hop? Yes? No to the offense? 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.240 Stopping the Arizona Cardinals offense. Well, first of all, you 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.920 don't want Kyler Murray getting loose, right right. I would 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.599 say that's good, But I would say stop DeAndre Hopkins. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.960 He's not going to. I mean, that is job one. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.920 Every defensive coordinator has got to account for the fact. Okay, 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.840 it's Kyler Murray. I understand that Kyler Murray and Kyler 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.440 Murray running the ball, although he doesn't run the ball 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.359 nearly as much this year, and thank goodness that he 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.680 does not as we've seen in years past. Having said that, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.920 a defensive coordinator comes in and says, we gotta stop 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:57.080 DeAndre Hopkins and that simplifies. That simplifies the defense for 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:01.160 Cliff Kingsbury when he knows that's what it defensive coordinator 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:06.360 is trying to do. It provides order when DeAndre Hopkins 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.840 is out there. It gives order to the Arizona Cardinals offense. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.840 And not only that, it gives order to the defense 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.960 and what the defense is going to do because they're 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.160 not just going to single up somebody on d Hop 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.400 play after play after play. That's not going to happen. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.720 So that brings a little predictability to Cliff Kingsbury in 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.640 the offense. Do you remember the last MVP in this town? 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.480 I don't Paul the guy. Guy by the name, well, 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.920 you can just call him two times Steve Nash. Remember 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.960 Steve Nash? I do remember Steve Nash. Do you remember 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.280 the moment when he clinched the MVP award? It's when 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.200 he was missing in mid January of that NBA season, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.280 when you saw what the Suns looked like without Steve Nash. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.480 I see, that's when you realize and appreciated the value. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.200 Hence the Most Valuable Player Award to Steve Nash based 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.440 on what we saw last week. Kyler Murray, if he 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.280 truly is a leading contender for the MVP award, if 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.000 he comes back this weekend, when he comes back, and 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.320 if he's able to just pick up where he left off, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.080 to me, that fortifies and strengthens his case to be 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.320 NFL MVP. It's a good argument, Paully, it really is. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.559 But Kyler Murray. I like what I'm hearing from Kyler 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.720 Murray right now. I like the fact it's going to 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.600 be his decision. I think we're gonna see Kyler Murray 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.760 on Sunday. This is just a gut feeling that I have, Paul. 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:35.320 Nobody has told me this. I'm not playing reading the cards, 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.040 so to speak, Polly, I'm not doing that. I will 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.240 tell you right now. It's just a gut feeling that 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.560 I have that Kyler Murray's gonna play, and I hope 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.240 he does. My gut feeling is the Cardinals will play 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.920 well on the road because that has been the norm 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.520 this year. They are five and oho, the only team 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.480 to score thirty plus points and allow twenty points or 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.559 fewer in every single road game. And Kyler himself was 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.920 asked about, Man, what is behind the Cardinals road success. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.560 I just think, you know, the maturity in the locker 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.360 room and guys understand, you know what we're getting on 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.640 the plane to go do. And you know we've been challenged. 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.280 You know, we've heard all the talk all the year, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.360 you know, before the season. I think the guys just 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.360 you know, have taken care of business and you know 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.800 they've been playing with a chip on our shoulder. There's 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.040 just something about the Cardinals on the road. Whether it's 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.600 going to Tennessee and the challenge is stopping Derrick Henry, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.400 whether it's going to the Rams and eight no Sean 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.920 McVay against the Cardinals everybody now, whether it's going to 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.280 Cleveland without their head coach or going against the forty 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.880 nine ers without their quarterback, there's something about this team. 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.040 They're at their best. When you tell them, you know 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.920 what their best isn't going to be good enough in 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.960 some of these road challenges. That's when we have seen 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.600 their best football Yeah. You know what's interesting about it 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:51.160 as well, Paulie. So much of the time talent talent 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.800 in the Arizona Cardinals are very very talented offensively and 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.840 defensively as well. But talent and intensity at home sometime 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.880 isn't as acute as talent and intensity on the road. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.320 Suddenly you're going into a strange village, Paul, You're going 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.560 into somebody else's encampment, so to speak, by the river, 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.920 and you're coming get it, You're taking over their village. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.199 You love it. It is a challenge. You know, everybody, 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:24.400 the entire world is against you. You're going into foreign property, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:30.640 foreign land, a foreign kingdom and taking their king Okay, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:35.559 I'll come down. Well, okay, not nearly as dramatic a dance. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.160 Joseph today saying that home games have been a struggle. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.520 We got to figure out. My point, Paul is, when 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.720 you're on the road, man, the hair on the back 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.920 of your next stands off, especially in Seattle. There's a 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.880 reason they've won four the last six in Seattle. Jail 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.839 and Thompson is next. The Open Field Tackling edition of 0:10:54.920 --> 0:11:00.240 The Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.280 Third Down on eleven on the arrows on a forty 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.800 one Walker in the gun, A Kathin in the backfield 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.440 with him, takes the shotguns that blitz coming pass away 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.480 over the middle, and a diving intercept him by Tom 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.720 said he gets up of the twenty five runs left 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.640 to the thirty and knocked down there. Jaalen Thompson with 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.560 the pick all Math's Joseph point ahead and put seven 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.680 guys on the line of scrimmage and bailed three of 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:31.280 them on the snap trying to confuse PJ. Walker. The 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:36.200 balls sailed on Walker and Thompson with a big time pick. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:41.200 No doubt as Jalen Thompson Wolf. If you go ahead 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.800 and you check your stats, the second leading tackler on 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.040 the team. You talk to some of his teammates, they'll 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.960 tell you he's one of the best open field tacklers 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.520 in the NFL. And talk to some of the coaches, 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.000 they'd say the same, Bubby yeah, and he talked to 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:57.920 some of those same guys will also tell you, and 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.560 we've heard this from a few guys unprompted by the way, 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.880 that he's maybe the most underrated defender in the league 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.800 as well. You just heard his second career interception. Jalen 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.360 Thompson joins us on the Big Red Rage presented by 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.360 Santan Ford in Gilbert. Jalen, how you doing a number two? 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.160 Where is the football? Do you just save interception number two? 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.199 By the way, Oh, of course definitely. I got him 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.200 all stacked up in the house right now. Jalen, Man, 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.000 thanks for joining us. Really do appreciate it. Talk a 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.280 little bit about your season. How is your season going? 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.920 How are you feeling about it personally? I'm feeling really 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.440 well about it. Obviously I got some things I need 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.680 to work on, but for the most part, I'm feeling 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.280 feeling real good about the season and feeling like I 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.160 need to finish strong. If we ask fans, heck, if 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:48.960 we just ask you, we got you. Where have you 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.880 made the most growth? You think this year or maybe 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.240 the last couple of years? Um, I feel like this 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.320 year personally, I made the most squirrels. Just being confident 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.840 going out there playing fast. I know what my job 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.720 and I know what I'm supposed to be doing. So um, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.920 just me being intentional every day and going on the 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.400 right I know I'd be fine. So pretty much, just 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.360 the confidence, I'll say, coming into this season. Did you 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.600 have a specific goal in mind and would you be 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:23.400 willing to share it with us if in fact you did. Definitely, Um, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.920 biggest goal for me this off season was just to 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.840 get strong. UM. I feel like I needed to get 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.319 a lot, a lot stronger, put on a couple of pounds, UM, 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.120 so I can be able to play in the box 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.000 a little more and do some of those things. UM. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:40.200 Also helped with my tackling, as you guys mentioned. So, UM, 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.480 that was just the biggest focus for me this offseason. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.640 And how did that go? Jalyn, Like, how much weight 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.520 did you put on? If Anny, Um, I came in 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.000 the season, probably I think I gained probably around like 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.640 ten pounds, around around eight to ten pounds UM. And 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.400 it's been going well so far. I can see it 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.840 translating on the sale on game day, so that's always 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.120 a plus. So you've actually gotten stronger as well in 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:10.240 the weight room. Oh, definitely, definitely this offseason was was 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.840 a was huge for me. I feel like, um, just 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.560 going in there every single day some uh sometimes even 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.600 more than you know what I mean, two to three 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.400 times a day and just going in there and do 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.560 what I have to do, get stronger for this season. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.280 You know, he had Zach Allen on what last month, 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.880 right Wolf, and he said in his offseason because dance 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.320 Joseph talked about that today, how much stronger Zach Allen 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.760 is in his third year and how much of a 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.800 difference that has made. And Zach Allen was kind of 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.880 uncalled for, really, Jellen, to be honest with you, Okay, 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.680 he put on some really good weight and then he 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.400 reduced his body fat percentage. You know nobody, but he 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.520 said a big thing for him was hot yoga. Did 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.680 you do any hot yoga this offseason? Man? Any hot yoga? 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:57.280 But that's definitely something I can see Zach doing. Is 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:05.160 that za exactly? That's great? It's do you have any 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.640 unique training methods? I mean, is everything in the weight 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.360 room you know, nutrition or do you do anything out 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.000 of the norm? Uh? Pretty much not anything out of 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:19.080 the norm. Um, definitely not any high yoga going there 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.320 every day. I mean, just just the basic stuff. Nutrition 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.600 was also a big thing this uh this offseason as well. 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.240 It's just um helping my weight get it up and 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.680 you know, like I said, getting stronger and everything. So 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.760 how much right now, Jollen, would you say you're absorbing 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:38.120 this defense or has have totally absorbed this defense? How 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:43.680 much do you feel super comfortable in this defense right now? Definitely, 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.880 definitely the probably the most comfortable I felt in my 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.920 football career. UM and a defense. So, I mean, I 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.120 know the ins and outs of it. I've been getting 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.400 some extra working with my DV coaches to make sure 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.400 I'm I'm on top of everything. But for the most part, 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:01.040 that's just the biggest part is just um being attentional 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.560 and knowing the little things so I can go in 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.920 there and play fast. Who's making the calls in the secondary? 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.600 Who is that? Is that Buddha making the calls or 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.600 are you helping him make the call? Who makes the 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.240 call in the secondary? Um, it's definitely both of us. Um. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.440 Whatever we see, whatever check we need to make, we 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.480 both echo it out and we both call it. And 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.200 that's just the biggest thing. I feel like that's special 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.520 with our defense this year is just the communication part. 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.280 Guys are echoing calls and just you know, we're all 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.040 on the same page for the most part. Imptant, you know, 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.400 And we shouldn't point out that also part of the 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.160 injury re port, we were talking a lot about Kyler 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.080 and de Hop. Obviously, Buddha Baker was downgraded today. He 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.880 did not practice with what's listed as a heel injury. 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.480 If he doesn't go in Seattle, And I know they'd 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.600 be a big ball for Buddha because that's where he's 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.920 from and in college you actually trained with some of 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.760 the Seahawks dbs and how much he looks forward to 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.920 playing that game and he's always phenomenal on the road 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.360 at Seattle. But how does it impact your job if 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.160 Buddha isn't in there jailin Um? I mean, I feel 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.080 like it doesn't impact my job too much. Obviously I'm 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.840 gonna have to step up if he is down and 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.560 and maybe you know what I mean, echo the calls 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.680 a little bit uh more often than I would usually 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.879 have to. But UM, I just feel like that's another 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.200 part that's special about this team is that we got 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:22.720 guys people are really really good, um and guys that 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.440 are you know, that's just the biggest thing our coach 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.720 is talking about is just no drop off, next person 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.560 up if that's the case. So I feel like we're 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.760 we're all good and that in that in that way 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.720 as a team. When when he says when Jalen says 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.879 that he's now absorbed the defense and he can react 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:40.879 right away. Right, it makes sense because he was a 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.040 supplemental pick. He came in right before camp, didn't have 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.080 a normal off season as a rookie, and then his 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.240 second year was COVID. He didn't have any offseason last year. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.920 So I mean you were sort of behind the eight ball, right, Jial. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.560 This is the first semi regular year you've had of 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.000 your career, correct, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. And that's just 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.399 uh And I have my hatstops and my coaches for 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.280 you know, sticking around and helping me out, you know, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.160 the after practice and you know, just getting some extra 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.560 work in. And that's been a big, big help for me, 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:11.920 I feel like, in learning his defense and just feeling 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:17.280 comfortable in it. What have you learned from Buddha baker Man, 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.600 Buddha's taught me a lot of things. Mainly he's been 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.520 with the focusing just on the little things, you know 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.639 what I mean, the stuff that's gonna take me from 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.840 a great player to an elite player like him. So 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.919 I felt like just those little things that he's teaching 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.879 me to help me definitely, and I'm looking forward to 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.960 trying to do those things. How about open field tackling, 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.120 I mean, you guys are both so good. I mean 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.840 in the ninety nine percentile of the NFL and open 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:43.960 field tackling. Is that just something you happen to have 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.119 in common or is that something you guys work on. 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.119 Did you pick up a few things from Buddha or 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:53.080 vice versa. I feel like that's just something that we 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.600 naturally just kind of have just in that to just 0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:00.119 get the football down. But definitely me seeing Buddha all 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.919 these years, these couple of years I've been with the Cardinals, 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.800 UM has definitely changed my look on how I needed 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.040 to play and how I needed to go about things. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.880 So I just seeing him and seeing how he does 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.760 certain things on the field and is tackling UM, I 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.199 know I got to step up and I got to 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.960 make those exact same plays when they come my way. 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.160 So that's just the biggest thing for me, is just 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.679 uh looking at him and seeing how he plays and 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:25.800 how hard he plays, and I know I gotta I 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.040 gotta play just as hard. Jay Len, I I think 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.240 you could be a pro bowler. I mean, at some 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.320 point in your career, I think you've got the talent. 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.440 I think you've got the ability to be a pro bowler. Um, 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.800 what do you what do you think is your strength? 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.040 If you had to pick one thing, what do you 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.159 think is your strength of the game in regard to 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:50.639 playing safety. Um, I feel like I'm just an instinctual 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.119 type of player, and I feel like that's something Buddha 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:59.080 has as well. UM diagnosed exactly, We diagnosed the plays 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:00.760 and we can and we can see girls something that 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.800 we can see and just react to it really fast, 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.120 you know what I mean. So I feel like that's 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.080 I feel like that's really one of the biggest strengths 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.879 for me. And like you said, open field tackling and 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.440 doing stuff like that, I feel like that's also a 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.000 big part of my strengths as well. Byron Murphy had 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.000 something to say about y'all get to that in a moment, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.320 open field tackle. Take us through an open field tackle. 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.680 It's Sunday. Tyler Lockett catches a quick swing pass. Right, 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.040 there's open space between you and Tyler Lockett mcgi is 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.000 lightning quick. What are you telling yourself? Well, how do 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:37.600 you what enables you to make that tackle in space? Um? Really, 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.160 just what we do in practice, And like I said, 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:42.600 I know I keep bringing it up, but it's just 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.560 the fact of being intention intentional with everything that we do. 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:49.040 So when we're in practice, we practice on tagging off 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.600 on the hip every single day and that's just focusing 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:53.199 on his hip and making sure that we got the 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.480 right angle to make that tackle so that when we 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.840 get in game day, it's just it's just you know 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:00.560 what I'm saying. It's no thinking about it. We just react, 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.200 like I said, So, Um, that's just the biggest thing 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.520 is I feel like it starts in practice. Jaylen, talk 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.600 to me about what you think happened last week against 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:16.399 the Carolina Panthers. What do you think happened last week defensively? Um, God, 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:18.320 it was a lot of It was a lot of 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.600 stuff that happened. Um. Obviously, we didn't start fast enough 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.280 like we wanted to. Um. And that's just all our 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.600 coaches teach to start off fast and and and in 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.399
