Speaker 1: You know the world is sideways when trading Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: takes a backseat to trading stock in game Stop in
Speaker 1: AMC and Nokia in these I mean you thought Houston,
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans were a distressed operation, a failing operation
Speaker 1: that was forced to trade. Well, that is nothing on
Speaker 1: what we've seen on Wall Street and right about now,
Speaker 1: Texans ownership is hoping somebody inflates and pumps up the
Speaker 1: value of the Texans franchise like we've seen on Wall
Speaker 1: Street with some of these others out of you realize that, Paula,
Speaker 1: you are the king Wolf. How can you not correlate
Speaker 1: the big trade news that's out there with Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: and the other trade news on Wall Street. Don't act
Speaker 1: like you don't sit around in your zubas all day
Speaker 1: in day trade Wolf, Come on now at the compound.
Speaker 1: We know no, don't do that. Are you kidding me
Speaker 1: right now? But you are right about the quarterback. So
Speaker 1: the commodities that are the NFL quarterbacks that are out
Speaker 1: there right now? What do you want, Paula? You want old?
Speaker 1: You want young, you want new, you want old? What
Speaker 1: is it ball? I'll tell you what I don't want.
Speaker 1: I'm going to reverse engineer the answer to that question
Speaker 1: here right off the top on the Big Red Rate
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford,
Speaker 1: Paul kelvcre Ron Wolf of there our reverse engineer that
Speaker 1: as long as Deshaun Watson doesn't end up with the Niners,
Speaker 1: I'm good that will crush me. I'm with you on
Speaker 1: that one. BALLI. Can you imagine if somehow, some way
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and that offense and dare I say that
Speaker 1: defense gets Deshaun Watson as our quarterback? Right now? Wait?
Speaker 1: What can we do? Paul? That is the question I've got.
Speaker 1: What can we do to make sure that never happens?
Speaker 1: Is there anything you can think of? BALLI? Is there
Speaker 1: anything you can do to segue on that one? Well,
Speaker 1: we could get Robin Hood to come in and stop trading.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you could get you get these
Speaker 1: Wall Street trading platforms to come in and stop trading
Speaker 1: on the Deshaun Watson to San Francisco. Obviously there's something
Speaker 1: nefarious about Deshaun Watson ending up with a nine er.
Speaker 1: So you know, the sec in Wall Street needs to
Speaker 1: step in. We can't have that happen. There's no way.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Pollie the Robin that was really
Speaker 1: good as well. Well, let me just say this, what
Speaker 1: is Miami doing right now? What are the Dolphins doing?
Speaker 1: Will you start acting here? I want to see Brian
Speaker 1: Flores start acting here like a head coach who went
Speaker 1: ten and six on the season. They're in dire need.
Speaker 1: Would you trade I mean to a tongue to buy
Speaker 1: Lowa for Deshaun Watson. Basically, yes, absolutely, yes, you would
Speaker 1: do that. Now Listen, they'd get a lot of draft
Speaker 1: picks as well. But still I'd be all over that
Speaker 1: if I were the Miami Dolphins. Miami might have to
Speaker 1: get in line behind Carolina. Do you see the report
Speaker 1: from the NFL network late today that Carolina is quote
Speaker 1: going to aggressively pursue Deshaun Watson, bring him back to
Speaker 1: the Carolinas obviously give them an identity for pretty much
Speaker 1: a no name team. Now would they have enough? I mean,
Speaker 1: would they have any interest? What's however? And Teddy Bridgewater
Speaker 1: and what could they have? The number eight pick overall?
Speaker 1: Would that be enough? But once again, Wolf, what you
Speaker 1: need to fear is mounting speculation that because Nick Caserio,
Speaker 1: former New England executive, a guy who is key in
Speaker 1: drafting Jimmy g oh No, now that he is running
Speaker 1: the Texans, he would have significant interest in bringing Jimmy
Speaker 1: g to Houston, both as his quarterback and as an
Speaker 1: example of the sort of New England asked culture that
Speaker 1: he would want to establish with the Texans, and that
Speaker 1: would be the launching point. Jimmy g in a trade
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers they would put to Sean
Speaker 1: Watson with the I just I just can't believe in
Speaker 1: what are the forty nine ers really gonna give? What
Speaker 1: would they have to give up their next three first
Speaker 1: round picks, their next four? I mean, honestly, what would
Speaker 1: that be? Paulie nick Bosa. Well, here's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has a no costs So to what degree
Speaker 1: can he just deny some of these other trade partners
Speaker 1: and dictate the direction the team to which he's traded.
Speaker 1: And so if he wants to go to the West
Speaker 1: Coast and he wants to be in a Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: system's polly, he's hurt their leverage. He's hurt the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans leverage. Fight coming out and making this public that
Speaker 1: he's demanding a trade. By the way, we'll talk to
Speaker 1: a guy who spent his career chasing quarterbacks, Sam Acho,
Speaker 1: the former Cardinal, will join us on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: Just getting roll and all presented by satan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: We are Satanford first and ten on the Cardinal twenty
Speaker 1: snapped to Murray, drops back the throw looking deep, airing
Speaker 1: it out middle of the field. He's got Kirk. It's
Speaker 1: caught at the forty Kirk and the thirty. The twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen ten five tout down toun eighty yards strike Tyler
Speaker 1: Murray to Christian Kirk two touchdowns for kerk Now in
Speaker 1: the game. Oh baby, that was huge right there. Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray saw Christian Kirk and he just ran the go
Speaker 1: rob What a great throw. Kyler Murray laid it out
Speaker 1: there and Christian kirk what got it. I'd say if
Speaker 1: there wasn't a guy named DeAndre Hopkins who had an
Speaker 1: array of ridiculous catches this season, that might have been
Speaker 1: the catch of the year. Christian kirk you think wolf
Speaker 1: the fact that he caught it on a dead sprint
Speaker 1: and remember the late hands. He called it right, just
Speaker 1: shot him out there at the very end and got
Speaker 1: it by the by the tip of the football. Yeah. Absolutely, bally,
Speaker 1: especially at first half of the season. For the most part,
Speaker 1: Christian kirk Man was odd fire and then he kind
Speaker 1: of faded in the second half. And that's something we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about tonight. Yeah, that was the game
Speaker 1: at Dallas and Cardinals one thirty eight ten to the
Speaker 1: first three possessions, three punts, and then they scored touchdowns
Speaker 1: on their next four possessions and ran away with that game.
Speaker 1: But as Wolf mentioned here on the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by Santan barn and Gilbert, we are Santan Ford.
Speaker 1: There was DeAndre Hopkins and everyone else basically the second
Speaker 1: half of the season when it came to receiver production,
Speaker 1: and because of that, the Cardinals made a change. Sean
Speaker 1: Jefferson is the new wide receivers coach. A guy who
Speaker 1: played the position for nearly a dozen years, a guy
Speaker 1: who's coached the position for more than a dozen years.
Speaker 1: You tell me, Wilf, I mean, what sort of cred
Speaker 1: does he bring to being a receivers coach considering all
Speaker 1: his experience at the position. There's no doubt about it, Paulie.
Speaker 1: This is a great thing, especially when you're talking about
Speaker 1: the skill position. When you're talking about the skill positions
Speaker 1: and the National Football League, both offense and defense, the
Speaker 1: further you get from the ball is when you start
Speaker 1: considering the skill right when you start talking about wide receivers,
Speaker 1: and I would say cornerbacks dbs in particular, right there,
Speaker 1: those are the skill positions. To me, running back obviously
Speaker 1: quarterback obviously, but that's a whole different animal in and
Speaker 1: of itself. The wide receiver position. I think you need
Speaker 1: that credibility that Sean Jefferson has that he played the
Speaker 1: game thirteen years. This is a guy that was a
Speaker 1: contemporary Balie. This is a guy that I know, Sean Jefferson.
Speaker 1: He was a great pro Paul. This was a good
Speaker 1: football player, a guy that had a long career, and
Speaker 1: that definitely I think is going to resonate in that
Speaker 1: room with the wide receivers that he has. Well, Look,
Speaker 1: players know players, players know the coaches who played. You
Speaker 1: just commented on that, and Bertrand Berry had something to
Speaker 1: say about that earlier this week on the Red Sea Report.
Speaker 1: To have somebody in there that has been through it
Speaker 1: and done it, that holds a certain amount of weight,
Speaker 1: and that holds a certain amount of cachet. Dee Hobbin
Speaker 1: and Kurt and all those guys are going to really
Speaker 1: try to better themselves. And what better way to do
Speaker 1: that than learned from a guy who played as long
Speaker 1: as coach Jefferson did. Last couple of years with the Jets,
Speaker 1: he was also the assistant head coach to Adam Case
Speaker 1: and Wolf, I'm guessing that I think I tackled him
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Paully, I think if I'm not
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, I think Sean Jefferson actually a
Speaker 1: return punts for the Chargers, and I think I tackled
Speaker 1: him on more than one occasion. Paul, you know you
Speaker 1: know what that reminds me of. I'm gonna take everyone
Speaker 1: back to the introductory press conference of one Ken wizzen
Speaker 1: Hunt and Ken wizzen Hunt finishes a press conference, he
Speaker 1: comes off the stage, walks down the aisle, sees Wolf.
Speaker 1: He stops going Wolf, don't hit me that Ken Wizen. Well,
Speaker 1: we had some battles, wizzon. I there's no doubt about that. Pollie.
Speaker 1: I think he still has a bruise on his sternum.
Speaker 1: So once again you get the change at the position coach, right,
Speaker 1: Whizz you know I love you. If you're listening for
Speaker 1: some reason, I love you. And if Dave Pass was here,
Speaker 1: he would confirm what I'm about to share now is
Speaker 1: whenever Wolf runs into a former teammate on the road
Speaker 1: or at a stadium, we always Dave usually asked Wolf afterwards,
Speaker 1: did you fight that guy? Did you fight that guy,
Speaker 1: I know exactly, but you know there was something too it, Polly, right,
Speaker 1: there is something the experience in knowing that this guy
Speaker 1: that is coaching you has he's been through the fire man.
Speaker 1: He has been through the fire, he's been through the hardship.
Speaker 1: That listen, Paul. They always say this, you got to
Speaker 1: reach somebody before you can teach somebody. The fact that
Speaker 1: Sean Jefferson played goes a long way towards reaching somebody,
Speaker 1: opening them up and then being able to teach them. Okay,
Speaker 1: so are they trying to reach Andy Isabella? They're trying
Speaker 1: to reach Christian Kirk. To what degree? Is this a
Speaker 1: message for that wide receiver room, the players in that room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt it is, Polly, It's a message. I
Speaker 1: cannot help but think a Christian Kirk. Paully, you know
Speaker 1: how much I love this kid, and I know you
Speaker 1: like him as well, And how, oh my goodness, he's talented,
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy, I think the first half of
Speaker 1: the season showed exactly what he could do, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're thinking, this is it. This is
Speaker 1: the breakout year for Christian Kirk. And then the second
Speaker 1: half of the season, and for whatever reason, he faded
Speaker 1: in the second half. And I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: think Christian Kirk fading in the second half had a
Speaker 1: lot more to do with David Rye being let go
Speaker 1: than even Andy Isabella. Well, he's too good, he's too
Speaker 1: skilled to be a non factor too often. It just
Speaker 1: it just didn't make sense. There were too many games
Speaker 1: that ended and either he didn't have enough targets or
Speaker 1: he didn't have enough production, and you gotta just let
Speaker 1: impact the gas. So and that's a pair of second
Speaker 1: round picks and Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella. So obviously
Speaker 1: they're looking for more return on investment. So look, if
Speaker 1: they can maximize their skill set, that's a great fit
Speaker 1: for this clipkinks very passing offense. You got a figure,
Speaker 1: we'll get an idea of what you know? An outsider,
Speaker 1: thinks a former insider. How about sam Acho, the former
Speaker 1: cardinal not just a former linebacker, a speaker, a writer,
Speaker 1: that's all. Next in the Big Red Rage, Tom steps
Speaker 1: up gets sacked at the twenty six yard line by
Speaker 1: sam Acho. It was Acho that came in and leveled
Speaker 1: a quarterback and forced the fumble, and he brought the
Speaker 1: Tomahawk rhythm steps up, gets head and sacked. It's Sam
Speaker 1: Macho again, his second sack of the game. While Sam
Speaker 1: Macho have a day and the ball comes out of
Speaker 1: the thirty yard line, it's recovered by Ajo. Acho forced
Speaker 1: to fumble and he recovers it at the twenty eight
Speaker 1: yard line, his second force fumble. He also has two
Speaker 1: sacks and now a fumble recovery man and gets rid
Speaker 1: of it. Tip picked off Byacho at the twenty five
Speaker 1: yard line. Ryan hit as he grows, deflected and pittercepted
Speaker 1: Byacho at the thirty three yard line, Pondered to pass
Speaker 1: with time pumps, rolls left being chased and ball flutters
Speaker 1: and a diving interception Byacho at the twenty nine great
Speaker 1: play by Sam Hacho. Three career interceptions. By the way,
Speaker 1: it says here on his staff's page, Wolf, I think
Speaker 1: of Sam Macho. I think a big plays in big moments,
Speaker 1: big impacts, starting his rookie year, seven sacks as a rookie. Smile, yes,
Speaker 1: big smile. I mean you know on the field, in
Speaker 1: the locker room, that impact. We know the difference he's
Speaker 1: made in the community, that is on question. And then
Speaker 1: not only with the media, but as a member of
Speaker 1: the media. Wolf. In fact, this might be our last
Speaker 1: edition of the Big Red Rage because of the time
Speaker 1: we're done. You know, they'll probably offer the show to
Speaker 1: Sam Macho, Right, Sam, welcome. How are we doing, man, Paul? Well,
Speaker 1: I am doing great and I am so glad to
Speaker 1: be back on with you all. This brings me great joy. Yes,
Speaker 1: hearing the highlights that brought me great joy, but man,
Speaker 1: hearing y'all's voice is really great, great joy. Sammy, Man,
Speaker 1: so much love and respect for you and I can
Speaker 1: I can literally feel the smile coming thro yes on
Speaker 1: this broadcast. Brother. How's the family doing, man, We're doing great.
Speaker 1: We're doing great. Ever since that rookie year with seven sacks,
Speaker 1: Since then, I've played the last the next nine years
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I got married after three kids, a
Speaker 1: six year old, a four year old, and a two
Speaker 1: year old solo. Life has changed in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: but one hundred percent for the better. That's awesome, Sammy.
Speaker 1: So you're running the up tempo with three young kids
Speaker 1: at your house, there's no doubt about absolutely absolutely what
Speaker 1: you got left. Sammy. You gotta play left for when
Speaker 1: you give me one I don't know, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't like that, you know, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: want to give away my play. Like a good defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator or a good coach, I'm not going to give
Speaker 1: away my plays. But I'm gonna tell you what you
Speaker 1: show you what we got, and then we'll go from there. Now. Wait,
Speaker 1: didn't you sent out a tweet within the last few
Speaker 1: days something about Tampa and the first team ever to
Speaker 1: host the Super Bowl in their home stadium and you
Speaker 1: know you're available of Ba's in need. Oh yes, I
Speaker 1: absolutely sent that tweet. But there's more to the tweet.
Speaker 1: I wish that Twitter had more than one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty characters, because here's the deal. Wolf and Paul exit
Speaker 1: interviews last year, twenty nineteen season. I just finished up
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay and I'm sitting down with BA. Mind you.
Speaker 1: BA was my coach in twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Todd Bowles was my coach as well,
Speaker 1: so we had a relationship. They had me come to
Speaker 1: Tampa played well. Exit interview. BA looks me in the
Speaker 1: eye and says, hey, Sam, we love what you did.
Speaker 1: We want you back next year, and so I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go. Now this is pre Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: before Tom got signed. I'm like, all right, this is exciting,
Speaker 1: this is good. Well, then all of a sudden, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady becomes available and they decided to sign him. And
Speaker 1: Gronkowski becomes available and they decided and LaShaun McCoy and
Speaker 1: Leonard Ford and all these guys are Letterford that become
Speaker 1: and they decided to sign him. And so anyways, I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting on that call. So I tweeted at BA
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, BA, you said you wanted me back.
Speaker 1: I'm available. I'm ready, I got my jersey. Whatever you need,
Speaker 1: just one game and I'm ready to rock and roll. No,
Speaker 1: that's great. What did he say back? He hadn't responded yet.
Speaker 1: I'm notout. Have an army if people like retweet it
Speaker 1: so that he can get it. I made a video.
Speaker 1: I think I'm kidding. I made a video with my
Speaker 1: Buccaneers jersey and my wife was like, send it to BA,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know, you know, And so
Speaker 1: I'm I'm plotting. I'm plotting. I'm getting ready. But I tweeted,
Speaker 1: I tweeted it. I tweeted it a few days ago.
Speaker 1: I got the video ready. I'm gonna send it to
Speaker 1: at least the linebackers coach Larry Foot. You remember Larry Foot,
Speaker 1: of course he was my COACHNA send it to Foot,
Speaker 1: see what happens. I'm gonna send it to Coach Bowls.
Speaker 1: And then lastly, BA will be the last place I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, Sam, don't bea off the hug. This
Speaker 1: fat to the fire, and you know what, we'll get it.
Speaker 1: We'll get into the Super Bowl a little bit later,
Speaker 1: we'll get into your book that's out, your brand new podcast.
Speaker 1: It's gonna drop. But but give us some thoughts on
Speaker 1: the Cardinals two twenty. I know you know it's from Afar,
Speaker 1: but as a former Cardinal and a guy who knows
Speaker 1: the game inside and out, do you have any takeaways
Speaker 1: from this year in the Cardinals eight and eight campaign. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was well so obviously former cardinal and now I've
Speaker 1: been in the media a little bit, so I've been announced,
Speaker 1: I've been I've announced games, I've watch games, and and
Speaker 1: for me it was exciting seeing the the the ability,
Speaker 1: we'll call it that, the ability of Kyler Murray. Right,
Speaker 1: He's unbelievably talented. But then you've got you have to
Speaker 1: go through that matturation process that we saw. If you
Speaker 1: remember what Russell Wilson went through from his year one
Speaker 1: to hear's your two. In twenty twelve, Russell Wilson's first year,
Speaker 1: he was a solid quarterback, right, wasn't doing outstanding, was
Speaker 1: trying to help, trying to figure out how to read
Speaker 1: defense as well. Twenty thirteen, fourteen fifteen, he became this
Speaker 1: expert at reading defense. And I think that's where Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray needs to grow now. Obviously, being an Allen in
Speaker 1: high school in Texas right where I'm from, winning championships
Speaker 1: and then going to college winning championships, not losing games.
Speaker 1: It's good, but there comes a point where you get
Speaker 1: to play the biggest and the baddest and the best
Speaker 1: of the best, and you have to up your game.
Speaker 1: Talent alone will no longer get you there. And so
Speaker 1: what he needs is to kind of help, just just
Speaker 1: film watching and helping having someone teach him how to
Speaker 1: read defense and not get trapped by you know, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, look at the Patriots game right getting getting
Speaker 1: trapped by good coordinators. I think that's that's an area
Speaker 1: he can improve offensively because his offensive starts and stops
Speaker 1: with him obviously having hoped there was amazing, and then
Speaker 1: defensively as well. Right Like, I feel like I feel
Speaker 1: like Patrick Peterson obviously is phenomenal, and and Buddha Baker.
Speaker 1: You got all these guys. But the part that gets
Speaker 1: me this is more of like a general manager perspective.
Speaker 1: But man, there's so many talented players who left, right
Speaker 1: Chelais Campbell's, Tie Matthews, even the Tony Jeffersons. There's so
Speaker 1: many talented players who left. And I understand we have
Speaker 1: young rookies who are solid, but I just feel like
Speaker 1: we got to find a way to keep the talent
Speaker 1: here in Arizona. Speaking of keeping the talents here in Arizona,
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, what are your what are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones? Now, obviously you missed the entire season, but
Speaker 1: so what do you think you of Chandler Jones as
Speaker 1: a pass rusher when you watch him on tape? Oh,
Speaker 1: he's phenomenal at one point in his career, and probably
Speaker 1: if he would have been healthy, you could always make
Speaker 1: the argument that he's one of the best pass rushers
Speaker 1: in the game and obviously Marcus Golden on the other side. Like,
Speaker 1: there's so much talent there and so the injuries don't help, right,
Speaker 1: We talk about that injuries don't help. But man, when
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones is out there and he's doing the same
Speaker 1: thing in New England. When he's out there, he's a
Speaker 1: dominant force. And so there's no if, hans and buts
Speaker 1: about it. You need him out there. His son Reddick
Speaker 1: and we're on board with Sam Acho, former Cardinals pass rusher,
Speaker 1: as Son Reddick is a guy who exploded in his
Speaker 1: fourth year. His fourth year in the league, there was
Speaker 1: a position switch. He's back to the edge. He doesn't
Speaker 1: have the prototypical size, but he's put on wade and
Speaker 1: you look at some of the analytics and he was
Speaker 1: top ten in most every category at his position, a
Speaker 1: position you know, real, well, what should the Cardinals do
Speaker 1: now that because Son Reddick is bound for unrestricted free agency. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: he's a guy you gotta keep, right like, he's a
Speaker 1: guy you have to find a way to keep. And
Speaker 1: obviously people talk about hometown discounts. As a player, you
Speaker 1: never want to take a hometown discount, right, I understand
Speaker 1: we care about the team, but you want to do
Speaker 1: the best for you and your family and your future.
Speaker 1: But I think that when you when you look at
Speaker 1: what her son, Reddick was able to do, multiple multi
Speaker 1: fack games, changing the game, helping Arizona win, I think
Speaker 1: you have to find a way to keep him. He's
Speaker 1: at a natural position, he's at outside linebacker number one.
Speaker 1: And yes, people say it's it's not necessarily he's not
Speaker 1: the prototypical size, but neither was Dwight Freeney. Neither was
Speaker 1: Robert Massis. There's no real, in my mind, prototypical side.
Speaker 1: It's all about how effective are you as a pass wresturant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: James Harrison comes to mind right there. That's an zebrical
Speaker 1: guy right there. Sammy, What about physicality? Is it still
Speaker 1: in vogue in the National Football League to be physical
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage? Do you still have to
Speaker 1: be that in order to win? Oh? Absolutely absolutely. In
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, I was a part of the Bears defense
Speaker 1: that was a number one ranking defense in the league.
Speaker 1: And obviously in twenty fourteen and thirteen our Cardinals defense
Speaker 1: with Todd Bowles, we were a top five defense in
Speaker 1: the league, and it all started in stopped with not
Speaker 1: only physicality as you mentioned Wolf, but also with fundamentals.
Speaker 1: Physicality and fundamentals, and it's boring, right, no one wants
Speaker 1: to talk about the fundamentals. But you can be as
Speaker 1: big and as fast and as flashy as you want
Speaker 1: to be, but if you're not fundamentally sound, you're not
Speaker 1: going to be able to be a solid defense weekend
Speaker 1: in a week out. You might be able to flash
Speaker 1: and have some great games, but you're not going to
Speaker 1: be able to be solid weekend and weekend and week out.
Speaker 1: And so I think no matter what defense you are,
Speaker 1: we could talk about Arizona for sure, but you have
Speaker 1: to be physical, yes, but also you have to be
Speaker 1: fundamentally Can you go into the fundamental Sammy for people
Speaker 1: that are listening right now, a way of example, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Yeah, so, by way, by way
Speaker 1: of example, so much offense and let's use let's use
Speaker 1: La rams for an example. So much offense is predicated
Speaker 1: around these jet suites or any fly emotions. And you
Speaker 1: might be watching at home and say, okay, what's the
Speaker 1: point of that motion? They're just running around wasting time
Speaker 1: and wasting energy. But no, the reason that offense is
Speaker 1: run these jet sweets and these fly emotions is to
Speaker 1: mess with your eye as a defender. And so when
Speaker 1: I say fundamentally sound, I mean looking at the right thing.
Speaker 1: If you're an inside linebacker and your job is supposed
Speaker 1: to be the a gap, you don't need to be
Speaker 1: looking at the fly sweet, because all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you start looking there and you're you know, out of
Speaker 1: Coach always says eyes, hands and feet. Your eyes follow
Speaker 1: your hands, your hands follow your feet. And so if
Speaker 1: you're looking around and you're moving around and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden there's a huge gap that people are running
Speaker 1: up the middle for, then they're hitting their head on
Speaker 1: the goalpost and so and so that's when I say
Speaker 1: fundamentally sound, I'm talking about your eyes. What are you
Speaker 1: looking at? Look at your responsibility. Right then we talk
Speaker 1: about the physical part, that's your hands. So we talk
Speaker 1: about JJ Watt all the time and how he's a
Speaker 1: phenomenal pass rusher and football player and outstanding, but also
Speaker 1: j JJ Watt can tend to jump around gaps at times. Right.
Speaker 1: Calais Campbell's Cardinal's Great had this issue as well, And
Speaker 1: yes it can be effective. But man, there are times
Speaker 1: and that really hurts your defense because you're jumping around
Speaker 1: the block and you're not using your hands. And that's
Speaker 1: not to deter them from doing that because sometimes it's
Speaker 1: what you need to make a play, but it can't
Speaker 1: be every time. Right, physical hands right out of coach
Speaker 1: who also said, man, win first contact. What that means
Speaker 1: is be the first one to touch the guy you're
Speaker 1: going again, So eyes, hands, and then finally see right.
Speaker 1: So going back to inside linebackers as a perspective, right,
Speaker 1: it's all about people talk about shuffling your feet and
Speaker 1: then falling back into your gap. So many players, just
Speaker 1: in excitement and eagerness to make a play, they'll start
Speaker 1: running and crossing their feet to go make a play.
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, the running back will cut
Speaker 1: back and once again hit his head on the goalpost.
Speaker 1: But when you want to be fundamentally sound, you've ignored
Speaker 1: the jet suite. You keep your eyes on on your work,
Speaker 1: which maybe it's the running back, maybe it's the guard.
Speaker 1: Keep your eyes on your work when you're coming up.
Speaker 1: You be the first to win first contact, and then
Speaker 1: your feet will follow. That's what I mean by being
Speaker 1: fundamentally sound and having a physical style of play, doing
Speaker 1: your job. Sam Macho joining us on The Big Red Rage,
Speaker 1: former Cardinal, former Tampa Bay buccaneer. Last season with BA
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowls, So what can they do to slow
Speaker 1: down Patrick mahomes that Kansas City offense. We'll visit that
Speaker 1: next and we'll somehow, somehow with everything going on and
Speaker 1: three young kids, Sam found the ability to write a book.
Speaker 1: I mean, that kind of productivity is borderline un called for,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna talk about it. Yeah, I mean, and
Speaker 1: it's a blueprint for taking off our masks. And he's
Speaker 1: not talking about COVID. He's not talking about something you know,
Speaker 1: literal right, it's in another way and we'll get into
Speaker 1: that next. Sam out to our special guest on The
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage, presented by satan Ford and Gilbert. We
Speaker 1: are satan Ford. There comes say fake end aroun and
Speaker 1: Brady gets sacked by Acho. Came over the top and
Speaker 1: brought down the quarterback. He was not fooled by the
Speaker 1: fake end the round and Brady loses about ten yards
Speaker 1: on the play. Tom Brady is one of the best
Speaker 1: play actors in all of the National Football League, but
Speaker 1: sam Acho was not fool boys. He is smart, alert
Speaker 1: football player, one of the smartest guys on the field
Speaker 1: and off. It was at two thousand and twelve win
Speaker 1: at Foxboro a week two where the Cardinals went in
Speaker 1: as two touchdown underdogs and pulled out a wayn twenty
Speaker 1: to eighteen against the Patriots, and there was a lot
Speaker 1: to like about that game, including that sack by our
Speaker 1: guest sam Acho. Sam what is it like to sack
Speaker 1: Tom Brady? I mean, you know, at what point are
Speaker 1: you gonna get the kids on your knee and tell
Speaker 1: them all about sacking TV twelve? Oh, trust me, I
Speaker 1: already have. I already have. There is no greater feeling,
Speaker 1: at least as a football player than sacking Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: If you remember at the NFC and the playoff time
Speaker 1: came around and so many players wanted to get Tom Brady. Right,
Speaker 1: takes you on with one of these guys that I
Speaker 1: want Tom Brady. And so for me, that's a highlight,
Speaker 1: right like the highlightings the highlight. There's no infans of
Speaker 1: us about it. So he said he's so hittable? Is
Speaker 1: he not saying? I mean it's bad. It's a great
Speaker 1: target that back. I don't know all by you, but
Speaker 1: just looking at it, it's very rectangular. Yes, yes. And
Speaker 1: the thing is like people talk about these great quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and yes they are great. Tom bradyes, Aaron Rodgers, Rogers
Speaker 1: is of the world. Um, But man, like, when I
Speaker 1: think about it, like that play specifically, for me, it
Speaker 1: was all about the offensive line. I knew they had
Speaker 1: a specific play where they would pull the guard and
Speaker 1: it wasn't a run play, and I'm thinking, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go take that one. I see it and I
Speaker 1: took it right. And there are other plays where it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: they don't they they don't run it reverse, right, this
Speaker 1: is a fake verse pass. I'm gonna take it. And
Speaker 1: so for me, it's about offensive line. It's about scheme
Speaker 1: sometimes more than just who is this quarterback? And look,
Speaker 1: Kansas City's offensive line obviously compromise, probably missing their starting tackles.
Speaker 1: What does that mean for a Bucks team that has
Speaker 1: a pass rush going five sacks again in this last
Speaker 1: game and Todd Bowls, you know aggressive he is having
Speaker 1: played for Todd. Tell us about what the Bucks can
Speaker 1: or will do to slow down Patrick Mahomes. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: well those outside linebackers specifically are ready to eat. Some
Speaker 1: people say they're ready to hunt like they are. Not
Speaker 1: only their focused, but like I've been in that outside
Speaker 1: linebacker room, I've been in the room. I was in
Speaker 1: the room last year with Shack Barry, who's had a
Speaker 1: few sacks, with Jason Pierre Paul had a few sacks
Speaker 1: in the game last week. Those guys, their confidence level
Speaker 1: is through the roof. Larry Foot, the outside linebacker, is
Speaker 1: telling them, guys, if y'all don't have three, four or
Speaker 1: five sacks each this game, you don't need to be
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's what he's telling them. So he's
Speaker 1: telling them that they're going to be the ones to
Speaker 1: change the game. And you know why he's telling them that,
Speaker 1: because it's true. BA gets it too. Todd Bowles gets
Speaker 1: it too. You got to put pressure on Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: if you want to stop them. Earlier in the game,
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, when Tampa Bay faced Kansas City,
Speaker 1: you saw Carlton Davis the defensive fact the corner get
Speaker 1: burnt by Tyree Hill. Todd Bowles is telling Shack and
Speaker 1: telling JPP. If you do not get to this quarterback,
Speaker 1: this loss is on you new rule boy. That is
Speaker 1: big right there, Sammy Tom Brady, is he a dinosaur?
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Big Ben Roethlisberger. Are these guys dinosaurs? No, No,
Speaker 1: they're not. I think what I would say is, if
Speaker 1: forty is the new twenty, right, the forty is the
Speaker 1: new twenty in the NFL. They're not dinosaurs. But the
Speaker 1: game has changed so much to allow quarterbacks an extended lifetime,
Speaker 1: if you will. In the NFL, there have been new
Speaker 1: rules put in places you know well that you can't
Speaker 1: go too low on a quarterback, but let's not so
Speaker 1: out there. You can't go too high on a quarterback
Speaker 1: and being penalties. Yeah, you gotta get to the strike
Speaker 1: zone or the hit zone, right. That extends quarterbacks lifespans
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But it's not just quarterbacks, so no,
Speaker 1: it's also defensive players as well. These the new CBA
Speaker 1: that was signing and not the recent one, but in
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, I believe that helped extend the life spans
Speaker 1: of NFL players. Cam Haywards thirty one, thirty two years old.
Speaker 1: He's a defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers, just signed
Speaker 1: an extension right, Kyle Rudolph tied end thirty something years old.
Speaker 1: He's still got three years left on his contract. You're
Speaker 1: seeing all these players who are quote unquote getting older.
Speaker 1: Klais Campbell prime example, at thirty, he signed a five
Speaker 1: year deal. Right. If you're seeing all these players that
Speaker 1: are quote unquote older, thrives and it's and it's it's
Speaker 1: it's yes, it is because they're taking care of their bodies,
Speaker 1: that's part of it. It is because you know they're
Speaker 1: they're they're eating better and sleeping better, and analytics and
Speaker 1: all those things. But it's also because the rules have
Speaker 1: changed in the n f L. Hey, we're on with
Speaker 1: Sam Atro, former cardinal and a former buccaneer. What's it
Speaker 1: like playing for Bruce arians Tom Brady said earlier today,
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of media were surprised, I
Speaker 1: mean how much he's enjoyed playing for BA, because we
Speaker 1: know how he called out Tom Brady at times in
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. We've heard him call
Speaker 1: out guys like Kalais Campbell who was making Pro Bowls.
Speaker 1: So what's it like as a player to play for BA? Well,
Speaker 1: you get no greater joy, at least in my opinion
Speaker 1: and playing for BA because you know he's gonna keep
Speaker 1: it real with you. So many coaches they'll say one
Speaker 1: thing and they'll do another. And I'm talking about it
Speaker 1: both sides of my mouth right now, because the BA
Speaker 1: said he was going to sign me. He has to
Speaker 1: sign me. For so many coaches they say one thing
Speaker 1: to do another. Boy Ba, he keeps it real. He
Speaker 1: keeps real. Hey man, you're not good enough. He's to
Speaker 1: always say, hey, I need our five star players to
Speaker 1: play like five star players if we're gonna win. He'd
Speaker 1: call you out right, Calais, you're a five star player.
Speaker 1: We need you to shine. It's five star player, we
Speaker 1: need to shine, Tie Matthew, right, five star players. There
Speaker 1: was no there was no confusion on what it was
Speaker 1: going to take to win. Right. He'd also put up
Speaker 1: the you know, after a game, right after each practice,
Speaker 1: put up the mistakes that you made, so you knew
Speaker 1: the whole team would see who players, which players offensively
Speaker 1: and defensively, had missed assignments and mental errors because he
Speaker 1: knew those causs those those are the reasons why people lose.
Speaker 1: And so BA keeps it real with you, keeps it
Speaker 1: up front. You have no you have no confusion or
Speaker 1: no doubt of where you stand with him. So, Sammy,
Speaker 1: when you think of Super Bowl fifty five between the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs, where do
Speaker 1: you think the worm is going to turn in this game?
Speaker 1: Where do I think? Where do I think the game
Speaker 1: is going to be turned? Which he's going to win
Speaker 1: the game? Yeah? Where's the worm going to turn in
Speaker 1: this game? What do you think the matchup is going
Speaker 1: to be that is going to decide who wins this?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's a great question. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be the Tyron Matthew versus Tom Brady matchup. That's
Speaker 1: really what I believe. So Tyron Matthew is a field
Speaker 1: general for that team. And yes, Kansas City had a
Speaker 1: phenomenal offense, but they weren't winning Super Bowls till ty
Speaker 1: got there. And so I think that ty Matthew if
Speaker 1: he gets his hands on that football, talking interceptions, I'm
Speaker 1: talking force fumble, We're talking fumble recoveries. Then then then
Speaker 1: then Tampa Bay didn't have a chance, I think, Sammy,
Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay's gotta play like almost a perfect game.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems that way. You've got to
Speaker 1: score when given the opportunities. You're special teams units have
Speaker 1: got to go out there and control field position and
Speaker 1: not give up any big plays. Your your defense has
Speaker 1: to take the ball away from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: I think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to play a
Speaker 1: near perfect game to beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: But I think timpa Bay will do those things. You
Speaker 1: talk about turnovers, Tim Bay is one of the league
Speaker 1: leaders in turnovers. You talk about stopping the run, Tim
Speaker 1: Bay is one of the league leaders and stopping the
Speaker 1: running out. But now now Tom Brady has been a
Speaker 1: little bit I don't want to say careless, but not
Speaker 1: ask care full with the ball. But that's part of
Speaker 1: Ba's system, right, no risk getting no biscuits. So I
Speaker 1: think that Tampa Bay will play well offensively in defensively,
Speaker 1: Special teams has always been a hiccup for Ba's team.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But man, I think Timpa Bay is
Speaker 1: gonna play well. But I think that time Matthew can
Speaker 1: and will be the difference. Right now, now, obviously Mahomes
Speaker 1: and Mahomes right, there's no its fans of us about
Speaker 1: that as its Tyree Hills as, it's Nicole Hartman as
Speaker 1: its Travis Kelsey as is all those guys. But we
Speaker 1: about who always has their hands around the football. It's time, Atthew.
Speaker 1: Let's wrap with Sam Acho and his book that is out.
Speaker 1: It is titled Let the World See You, and you
Speaker 1: describe it as a blueprint for taking off our mass.
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Yeah, well, this book
Speaker 1: is really for I wrote this book before COVID happened, right,
Speaker 1: and so people think about masks and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me take my mask off. No, this book is
Speaker 1: about why people hide, right, Like what are we hiding from?
Speaker 1: And what are we afraid of? But more than anything,
Speaker 1: this book will change you. This book will change you.
Speaker 1: When you read this book, your life will be changed
Speaker 1: because you'll understand, Oh wow, I can be me. I
Speaker 1: can be me. The subtitle of the book is let
Speaker 1: the World See You. How to be real in a
Speaker 1: world full of fakes. I don't have to pretend anymore.
Speaker 1: I can be me and I can be real. And
Speaker 1: that's what this book is all about. I tell stories
Speaker 1: from my cardinals days of times where I was me
Speaker 1: and the benefit that came, but also times where I
Speaker 1: hit and some of the hard things that came from
Speaker 1: that at still time, from my Chicago Bears days. They're
Speaker 1: definitely some football examples. But it's not a football book. No,
Speaker 1: it's a book for anyone whoever felt like they had
Speaker 1: to hide and they didn't they felt like they couldn't
Speaker 1: be themselves. If that's how you ever felt, this book
Speaker 1: is for you. Everyone who's read this book has seen
Speaker 1: their story in this book, and I believe the reader,
Speaker 1: anyone who reads it you will be changed by the book. Sammy,
Speaker 1: can you tell us why why you wanted to write
Speaker 1: this book? I mean there had to be something that
Speaker 1: was driving you behind it, right, Yeah, I think honestly,
Speaker 1: I just felt this way that I had to pretend
Speaker 1: and I had to fit in and I had to
Speaker 1: try and be someone I wasn't and I had to
Speaker 1: you know, at this way or act that way. And
Speaker 1: even as an NFL linebacker, you gotta do these you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta be this big, bad, tough guy. You got
Speaker 1: to be inaccessible and no one can talk to you
Speaker 1: and no one could touch you. Yet at the same time,
Speaker 1: I'm a guy who loves relationships. Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: get to know the fans. I want to get to
Speaker 1: know my teammates. Then it would always seemed like that
Speaker 1: was never what you were supposed to do. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I realized that as I started to put on this
Speaker 1: mask and act like I thought people wanted me to act,
Speaker 1: it wasn't me and they were. The weight became too heavy,
Speaker 1: and so I decided, you know what, I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: out letting the world see me. I'm gonna try and
Speaker 1: be me and just see what happens. And you know
Speaker 1: what happened, Wolf people became free from that. I received freedom,
Speaker 1: but other people will receive freedom as well. Being you
Speaker 1: isn't just for other people being you as for you
Speaker 1: as well. You will be changed when you're you, and
Speaker 1: you'll free up others. At the same time. We like you, Sammy,
Speaker 1: like you, Buddy Well, and I have a feeling everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna like your podcasts. The premiere episode drops tomorrow Athletes
Speaker 1: for Justice, so we look forward to that. Available on
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google podcasts, and the book once
Speaker 1: again is titled Let the World See You. It is out.
Speaker 1: It is at sam achobook dot com. That is sam
Speaker 1: achobook dot com for all the information. Sam we can't
Speaker 1: thank you enough for your time and insight. Paul, thank
Speaker 1: you so much. We'll man, I appreciate you, absolutely love you. Sammy,
Speaker 1: God bless you and your family. Okay, appreciate you. Coming on, man,
Speaker 1: there we go. Sam Acho, who's been making an impact
Speaker 1: since this rookie year. And I'm not just talking about
Speaker 1: the seven sacks, as you said, Wolf from the smile,
Speaker 1: from what he's done in the community. I mean, we
Speaker 1: need a three hour podcast just talk about the community aspect.
Speaker 1: We continue at the Big Red Rage presented by santan
Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert. Right after this third down, the Homes
Speaker 1: takes an ee and that is it. The Chiefs are
Speaker 1: going back to the Super Bowl. The road to repeat
Speaker 1: for Kansas City will run through Tampa. The matchup is
Speaker 1: set for Super Bowl fifty five. It's the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Kansas City is trying to run it back,
Speaker 1: and they get it done in the AFC Championship Game
Speaker 1: as they knock off the Bills thirty eight to twenty
Speaker 1: four courtesy Westwood one. Right there, that was the final call.
Speaker 1: So it is official. The Chiefs trying to become the
Speaker 1: first repeat Super Bowl champion since two thousand and four.
Speaker 1: Special thanks to Sam Acho for joining us on this
Speaker 1: edition of The Big Red Rage, presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are Satan Ford, Faull, kelvc Round Wolfley
Speaker 1: and a Chiefs team that wolf It's amazing that they're
Speaker 1: back in the Super Bowl. They're defending chants and to
Speaker 1: a man, they still talk about in the locker room
Speaker 1: how they haven't had that breakout game. They they don't
Speaker 1: feel like they've played their best game. Yeah. Yes, so
Speaker 1: I get the feeling that you're thinking Tampa's gonna have
Speaker 1: to play its best game to even have a chance.
Speaker 1: Polly Beware the team with the slippery tongue. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, because right now, what do you mean you
Speaker 1: haven't had that pout game, whatever it is. I think
Speaker 1: they're trying to demoralize people when they actually say that.
Speaker 1: I look at the Kansas City Chiefs poly in this
Speaker 1: game right here, and they apply so much pressure on
Speaker 1: their opponent. I was talking to Sammy about this, Sam Macho,
Speaker 1: who we were talking to earlier in this beautiful broadcast,
Speaker 1: and man, you've got to play almost perfectly in all
Speaker 1: three phases. Your offense has got to protect the ball.
Speaker 1: You cannot turn the ball over if you're in the
Speaker 1: minus and the turnover margin when you play the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. I don't know what the stats are, Paul,
Speaker 1: but I would imagine they're astronomical the odds that you're
Speaker 1: gonna win that game, because it's just it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Your special teams can't give Pat Mahomes and that offense
Speaker 1: short fields. You can't do it. Your defense has got
Speaker 1: to step up. Everybody has got to play almost a
Speaker 1: perfect game to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. If the
Speaker 1: Chiefs just go out and play their normal game. I
Speaker 1: just can't wait to see what Todd Bowles has in
Speaker 1: mind in terms of a game plan on Super Bowl
Speaker 1: Sunday against Mahomes and all those weapons and that lethal offense.
Speaker 1: Although minus they're starting to les both and you heard
Speaker 1: Samacho mentioned it, that could be a real liability, especially
Speaker 1: against that Tampa defense has got a lot of production
Speaker 1: from their age rushes. Yeah, you're right about that, there's
Speaker 1: no doubt. Jason Pierre Paul is getting it. And Shaq Barrett,
Speaker 1: of course, we know they've got the age out there, PAULI,
Speaker 1: But in the first meeting where the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think it was back
Speaker 1: in November, or yeah, I think it was November. But
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty four, they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: They didn't even really try to run the ball in
Speaker 1: that game, PAULI. They threw the ball fifty times against
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. They ran at sixteen times where they actually
Speaker 1: handed the ball off to a running back and they
Speaker 1: averaged about three point six. Now, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: that's the one thing they do really, really well, exceptionally
Speaker 1: well number one in the National Football League is they
Speaker 1: will shut down the run. And I know that the
Speaker 1: past defense has really come along, especially over the last
Speaker 1: five or six games of the twenty twenty season. The
Speaker 1: Aampa Bay Buccaneers defense what Todd Bowls, has really improved
Speaker 1: defensively in terms of their past defense. But you know, again,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how much the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs are going to try to run the ball. Is
Speaker 1: there anything the Cardinals offense can take from the Chiefs offense?
Speaker 1: And I know everybody is going to scout in the offseason,
Speaker 1: all the other teams especially the Super Bowl champion. But
Speaker 1: considering Mahomes and Kyler their baseball backgrounds and their ability
Speaker 1: to throw from all the different arm angles, and what
Speaker 1: Kansas City does with Mahomes and you heard you heard
Speaker 1: sam Acho talk about Kyler and where he needs to improve,
Speaker 1: just like Russell Wilson improved in year two and year
Speaker 1: three reading defenses. Is there only that stands out when
Speaker 1: you look at Kansas City, say, man, that might apply
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals. Yeah, can we go get Tyreek Hillbaul,
Speaker 1: can we get him right here? Because you watch him
Speaker 1: once again, it's it's it's stunning to me. It is stunning.
Speaker 1: You heard sam Ocho talking about the eyes and the
Speaker 1: jet sweep and how how linebackers and second level in
Speaker 1: DBS their eyes are drawn to a guy on a jets.
Speaker 1: It's it's tenfold with Tyreek Hill. This guy dictates what
Speaker 1: happens to the defense even when he doesn't get the ball.
Speaker 1: It is an unbelievable thing to watch that secondary move
Speaker 1: where Tyreek Hill is, wherever Tyreek Hill is. So much
Speaker 1: of the time the Kansas City Chiefs either paid off
Speaker 1: and get him the ball, or it's the exact opposite,
Speaker 1: wherever he is, they go the opposite direction of him,
Speaker 1: and it works beautifully. I'll tell you what Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: struggled in the red zone against that Buccaneer's past defense.
Speaker 1: You mentioned how they improved. He was just two to
Speaker 1: nine passing in gold togost situations. So we'll see, we'll
Speaker 1: see if you know, Tampa come put up a pretty
Speaker 1: formiable defensive effort. We'll come back. We'll talk about Tampa
Speaker 1: and what exactly the Bucks might have to do in
Speaker 1: this one. We continue with the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by Santan Pord and Gilbert. We are Satan four, Brady
Speaker 1: under center, champon spin a second, Zeros on the clock.
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers a beaaten the Packers. Tom Brady has beaten
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady will take the Buccaneers to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for the first time in eighteen years.
Speaker 1: This is the tenth Super Bowl in Tom Brady's Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame career and the final is in Buccaneers thirty one.
Speaker 1: The Packers twenty six. Westwood won Kevin Harland there and
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers become the first Super Bowl team
Speaker 1: ever to play in their home stadium. They've now won
Speaker 1: seven in a row since losing. You mentioned it Ron
Speaker 1: Wolfley to Kansas City at home. That was in late
Speaker 1: November when they lost twenty seven twenty four, got down
Speaker 1: early after an unbelievable first quarter by the Chiefs, and
Speaker 1: then made it a game late. And it's that defense
Speaker 1: for everything that Tom Brady has done. And we'll get
Speaker 1: into that. You know, you have seven takeaways by that
Speaker 1: Buccaneers defense this postseason, leading to forty one points. Todd
Speaker 1: Bulls has them dialed in, doesn't he. Yeah, there's no doubt, Pauline.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what they're gonna have to do to be
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Sorry, I was talking about this in the
Speaker 1: last beautiful part of the program, Paulie. But Crazy Carl,
Speaker 1: Crazy Carl's gonna have to show up. They're gonna have
Speaker 1: to go out there and protect the ball, not turn
Speaker 1: it over. They're gonna have to score points when given
Speaker 1: the opportunity, meaning touchdowns when they're in the red zone.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play very very well in the
Speaker 1: red zone. They're special teams are gonna have to be nails,
Speaker 1: not give up any big plays or short fields to
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and then that defense has got
Speaker 1: to go out there in somehow, some way turnover Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Chiefs and that's not an easy thing
Speaker 1: to do, think about it. Tampa hasn't been to the
Speaker 1: playoffs since two thousand and seven. Wow, they haven't any
Speaker 1: playoff wins since they're Super Bowl chanionship year of two
Speaker 1: thousand and two, and BA this week talked about Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and the impact Tom Brady has made in the
Speaker 1: quote from BA was the belief he gave everybody in
Speaker 1: this organization that this could be done. It only took
Speaker 1: one man. That reminds me a lot of what Kurt
Speaker 1: Warner did when he came in. It changed the culture
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals made their Super Bowl run. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to have
Speaker 1: to run the ball. The bashion Bomb offense is not
Speaker 1: quite the bashion Bomb with Tom Brady, but they are
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field more than they have
Speaker 1: to me. They gotta run the ball and run it
Speaker 1: well or else they have no chance to win this game.
Speaker 1: Had the gun from seven and five at one point
Speaker 1: this season to Super Bowl fifty five, Tom Brady, who
Speaker 1: had forty three years of age, Yes, the oldest Super
Speaker 1: Bowl quarterback and Bruce Arians at sixty eight, can be
Speaker 1: the oldest head coach to win a Super Bowl. Special
Speaker 1: thanks again to Sam Acho for joining us a former Cardinal,
Speaker 1: for Jim I'll Monter and Cody FINCHROMP, Paul KELBC and
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley. This has been the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by Sam Handford in Gilbert Number one Til you've been
