15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 4: at State Farm Stadium for training camp powered by Cox.

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: But gentlemen, before we talk about training camp, I need

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: to ask a favor of both our executive producer, Jim

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 4: Mamhundro and our associate producer Cody Fincher. We need to

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 4: change the open and this is the first opportunity that

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: I get to say congratulations to the gentleman sitting right

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: across from me, Kyle.

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: Vnemash Hall of Famer.

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 4: That needs to be included in the open.

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 5: And I think we need to include something about Paul's

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 5: mustache too. It I've been hearing about it. This is

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: my first time I've laid eyes on it. I feel like, Paul,

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 5: we're friends. Somebody should have helped you out, man, get

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 5: rid of that thing. It's it's it's hideous.

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 6: Just time you know, Josh Woods is coming up on

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 6: this edition of the Red Sea Report. I'm curious to

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 6: see whether he's bullish or not on because you know

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 6: there are some naysayers. Don't think your opinion is everybody's

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 6: opinion over there, Kyle Vannerbosch. Okay, although I'm beginning to

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 6: notice that I'm on audio only content.

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: They've got to put me on They've.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 6: Got to put me on camera around here, and I

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 6: think there is a cause and effect with that.

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 5: Well, I've been on that for years, so I'm beginning

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: to get suspicious as well.

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: So this week's edition of the Cardinals Red Sea Reports

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: includes Nebraska Hall of Famer Kyle Nnibasch and the mustached

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: one Paul Calvic.

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm merely Craig Grilou.

44
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: Yes, inside linebacker Josh Woods will join us in our

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: next segment. But right off the top, it is training camp.

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: And here on this first day in August, later on

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: this afternoon, here at State Farm Stadium training Camp, powered

48
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: by Cox, the Pats, the first padded practice Monday would

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: have been the earliest date that the team could have

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 4: been in pads. Head coach Jonathan Gannon says, no, we're

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: gonna wait until Tuesday. So the padded practice first one

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: of training camp, and as JG likes to say, pajama

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: football in the rearview mirror, Kyle and we get to

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 4: see some hitting and maybe some guys separating themselves.

55
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, And that you got to think, just

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 5: based on what Jonathan Gannon said from the first day

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 5: he did his press conference, he wants physicality, he wants violence,

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: and so there's gonna be you know, you have your

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 5: evaluation up to this point, but you know a lot

60
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 5: of people are going to elevate themselves based on how

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 5: they play with pads on because you know, quite frankly,

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 5: you can get a lot without pads. You learn how

63
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 5: to practice, you learn how to prepare for games, particularly

64
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: halfway through the season, late in the season, when you're

65
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: banked up, you don't have an opportunity to put pads on.

66
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 7: But football is still a physical game and it it's

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 7: played with pads.

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 5: And there will be players that you haven't noticed up

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 5: to this point that will stand out today. And there

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 5: will be players that have been dominant running around in

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 5: just the helmet and looked really good and look like

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: their dudes, and.

73
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: They will disappear.

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: And this is where players begin to show the coaches

75
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: their value to the team. So I'm excited to me

76
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 5: as a player, you know, other than when you get

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: into the regular season, you get you approach your first game.

78
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: The first day of pads was my favorite day of

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: the season, favorite day of training camp. And it's it's

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: you know, you got to think that every player in

81
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: that locker room is excited about the opportunity to go.

82
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 7: Out there and finally hit somebody.

83
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 6: Pushing for a statement in mandated holiday, you know, first

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 6: day in pads in lieu of that not happening. You know,

85
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 6: maybe everyone just by the power not invested to me.

86
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 6: You know, take off the rest of the day after lunch,

87
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 6: come out to Cardinals camp. You can see it for yourself,

88
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 6: because we think we know who's good player on this team,

89
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 6: but you don't know until the pad's gone. Right Dante Stills,

90
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 6: the rookie D lineman out of West Virginia, for example,

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 6: he can get all the props and praise from the

92
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 6: D line coach Derek Lebon all you want in the offseason,

93
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 6: and he did, and he looked really good, look really athletic,

94
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 6: really nimble. But how's he hold up one on one

95
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 6: when it's all lined against D line? Is he stout

96
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 6: enough against the double team to hold the point kenny

97
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 6: two gap?

98
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 3: What exactly is Dante Still is all about?

99
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 6: That's just one of many examples, Craig, on this roster

100
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 6: you don't really know. And they're so they're playing full contact,

101
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 6: full padded, full speed football, all eyes typically go to

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 6: O line, D line. Paris Johnson Junior his first opportunity

103
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 6: at this level to get a real pass rush. How

104
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 6: does Aven Collin look as an edge rusher and then

105
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 6: the blitz pick up? How do the running backs outside

106
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 6: of James Connor handle that part?

107
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: Because you talk about that.

108
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: Number two running back Kyle behind Connor, who's it going

109
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 4: to be? And yeah, you want to carry the football,

110
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: but you also have to be in there to protect

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: the quarterback.

112
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 5: No, that's that's a huge part about getting on the field,

113
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 5: particularly as a young running back entering the NFL, to

114
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 5: your ability to not only know where the blitz is

115
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 5: coming from, which guy you need to pick up, but

116
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 5: to do it in a physical manner. And it's a

117
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 5: whole new world. And you know what I'm excited to see.

118
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: You know, you're talking about pass rush, You're talking about

119
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 5: how the offense can block in pass pro. You know,

120
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: I still continue to get this feeling. We're just gonna

121
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 5: see a lot of twelve personnel. We're going to see

122
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 5: this team come out and run, run, run, run to

123
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 5: set up the pass later in the game. Second quarter,

124
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 5: third quarter, fourth quarter. And so I want to see

125
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 5: what this run game looks like. I want to see

126
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: how physical this offensive line can be. You know, look,

127
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 5: Paris Johnson has shown up to this point he is

128
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 5: an incredible athlete. He can move well, you know, how

129
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 5: well can he sink his hips? How well can he

130
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: hang on a double team and get moving up front

131
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 5: on a on a you know, a physical three technique.

132
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 5: You know, I'm excited to see how this offensive line

133
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 5: has gelled in what they can do in the running game.

134
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 5: And then you know, to talk about the running backs,

135
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: you know, you get the feeling that this is going

136
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: to be more of a North South run game. So

137
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 5: it might not be pretty to fans, but I'm looking

138
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 5: for those four or five yard runs between the tackles.

139
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 5: How many yards and what kind of push can they

140
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 5: get up front? And which running backs you know, we

141
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 5: know James Connor can do it. Which running backs are

142
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: going to stick their face in there, keep their legs

143
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: turning and fight for those extra inches.

144
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,920

Speaker 4: And yeah, he is not doing anything right now on

153
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: the field, but he is still working.

154
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 8: It's unusual start having to watch everything same as I

155
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 8: did during camp, though, so it's a It's not a

156
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 8: bad thing to have to sit back and watch, you know,

157
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 8: per se trying to take and make the most out

158
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 8: of this and make it a positive deal. I feel

159
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 8: good getting better each and every day, taking it one

160
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 8: day at a time. So just trying to you know,

161
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 8: beat it for my teammates right now and just is

162
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 8: learn as much as possible for I do stuff on

163
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 8: the field.

164
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: I thought it was a very honest Kyle the Murray

165
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: that addressed the media answering questions. Everyone wants to know

166
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: when when you get to practice, when you're going to play.

167
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: No timeline given when he knows will know. But he

168
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 4: was a little bit more open and forthright about a

169
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: conversation that he had with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. As

170
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: far as that mental block that awaits him, the physical

171
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: is one thing, the mental is another. How hesitant Murray

172
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: might be when he first steps on that football field.

173
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 8: That's something that every athlete, you know, you get hurt,

174
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 8: you pull a hammy or you you know, you get

175
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 8: you're a little scared to run the first time you

176
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 8: pull a hammy, and then they think with reps, with

177
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 8: you know everything, confidence comes in, even in the weight room.

178
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 8: You know, I'm doing things first time I do it,

179
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 8: I might be hesitant. The first time I jump, I

180
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 8: was hesitant, But you know, we're preparing the body, preparing

181
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 8: the mind to be able to do those things. So

182
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 8: I do think the first time I'm out there, maybe

183
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 8: I might be, But with the reps, I think the

184
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 8: confidence will grow and grow.

185
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: Kyler and Joe Burrow at a UFC event. I believe

186
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: it was in Miami Pall in which that conversation took place,

187
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: and yeah, Joe Burrow hesitant that first time you heard

188
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray there say hesitant during this rehab process, and

189
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: that's just the natural evolution the next step before you

190
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: can say I'm going to go full speed and look.

191
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 6: Kyle's the guy to talk about this the mental side

192
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 6: of it. But I don't care what a player says

193
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 6: that a press conference. You can't tell me that they're

194
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 6: not hesitant the first time they come back from a

195
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 6: major injury knee, shoulder, whatever it is. You can be

196
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 6: Adrian Peterson and come back after seven months and have

197
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 6: a two thousand yard rushing season, but he still had

198
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 6: that moment where he had to know what was this

199
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 6: injury recovery all about? I have to be able to

200
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 6: trust this, I have to be able to know that

201
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 6: I was a player I was before, and so Kyler

202
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 6: was very open and honest about that. Honestly, I thought

203
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 6: maybe he'd he'd really deflect a lot of those questions. Instead,

204
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 6: he opened up about it.

205
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: I like that.

206
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 6: I think it was a sign of maturity. I think

207
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 6: it was a sign of awareness. I think he was

208
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 6: conveying in a roundabout way, this is gonna be a process.

209
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: I truly don't know if I'll be ready week one,

210
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 6: month one. You know, Look if he's back by Halloween,

211
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 6: in my opinion, I think that's a win because it

212
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 6: wasn't just the ACL, it was the meniscus.

213
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: So we'll see. But he was honest on all accounts.

214
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 6: It was two weeks of hell quote end quote once

215
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 6: right after when he suffered that injury. He's never been

216
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 6: here and done this before. His dad talked about that

217
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 6: in flight plan. He's never been carted off the field.

218
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 6: So yeah, there's a physical challenge, and then there's the

219
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 6: mental hurdles ploral that he's gonna have to overcome.

220
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: Every recovery is different, and that mental hurdle, as Paul mentioned, Kyle,

221
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 4: you can speak to that more than anyone. But at

222
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: the same time, it's going to be different for Kyler

223
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 4: than it.

224
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: Was for you.

225
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 5: Absolutely he had no two acls are the same. No

226
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 5: recovery is the same. The mental part, at least, he's

227
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: been giving good advice, not just from Joe Burrow but

228
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: the people working with him, the things he's doing with

229
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 5: Buddy Morris. I mean, he's Paul's exactly right. He sounds

230
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: more mature this year. He's given better answers, he's being

231
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 5: very thoughtful, and he's you know, doing all of the

232
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 5: things he needs to do and taking the approach he

233
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 5: needs to do. Look, when you're doing rehabs, particularly from

234
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 5: an ACL, you don't talk about how I'm going to

235
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 5: be in two weeks, And just listening to Kyler, he's

236
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 5: dialed in exactly how he needs to be. I'm day

237
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 5: to day. I'm working on winning today. I will worry

238
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 5: about tomorrow tomorrow. And that's how you have to take rehab,

239
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: because you know, rehab and healing and being ready to play,

240
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 5: it's not a linear progress. It goes up and it

241
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: goes down, and every day is very depending on what

242
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: you did yesterday. Some days he'll wake up and be

243
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 5: really sore for no reason. And you know he understands that,

244
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 5: and he's going through that right now. And you know

245
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 5: the thing that I see different from him and Joe Burrow.

246
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 5: You know Joe Burrow even when he came back. Look,

247
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 5: he can run, but he's primarily a pocket passer. Kyler

248
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 5: Murray his entire life. What has set him apart is

249
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 5: how instinctual he is when a play breaks down and

250
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 5: his ability to operate in the offense but to do

251
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 5: things off schedules what makes him elite, which makes him special,

252
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 5: and that's what could take a little bit more time.

253
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 5: Because when you're going through rehab and they say jump

254
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: on this box, you prepare your body for jumping on

255
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 5: that box. But when you're on a football field, you

256
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: don't think about your cuts. You don't think about, you

257
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 5: know how, planting on that injured leg or somebody rolling

258
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 5: on that injured leg. It's it's those things that's going

259
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 5: to take time. And really the only way for him

260
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 5: to get that full confidence is to get the reps.

261
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 5: And so when you know, it might take a few

262
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 5: weeks on the practice field with guys around his legs,

263
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 5: with him running and making these cuts and scrambling sometimes

264
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 5: before he feels like he's fully mentally ready to be

265
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 5: out there and help the team win games.

266
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 4: You mentioned reps, and he's not getting those reps with

267
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: his teammates out on the football field, and he was

268
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: asked all this time that he is missing, he's watching.

269
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: Does he feel like he's behind?

270
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 7: I don't feel behind it all.

271
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 8: I'm uh picking up pretty fast pretty well, you know.

272
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 8: I think the coaches would say so as well. We're

273
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 8: doing things to allow me again to learn faster. So

274
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 8: if I wasn't taking the reps mentally and and just

275
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 8: spin it out at home in the mirror to the

276
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 8: coaches whatever it is in the meetings, then yeah, I'll

277
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 8: probably be behind. But the fact that we're on it

278
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 8: and we're you know, we're constantly doing it, it's been easy.

279
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: Again, he's not on the field, but he's in the classroom,

280
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: he's in the meeting rooms, he's studying in the hotel

281
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: room and still learning. What is a brand new offense,

282
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: not just for Kyler but for everyone.

283
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 6: Cole McCoy talked about that at length yesterday. It's different,

284
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 6: It's very different. It's not the spread, it's not we're

285
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 6: going horizontal, much more vertical. My favorite quota camp so far,

286
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 6: JG is saying about James Conner, We're going to take

287
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 6: that ball and kram it vertical, and then all of

288
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 6: a sudden, the next snap, you're gonna do a lot

289
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 6: of play act. There's gonna be a quarterback under center. Remember,

290
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 6: nobody was in the shotgun more last year than Kyler

291
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 6: Murray of all the NFL quarterbacks. So it's gonna be different,

292
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 6: and different weeks will be radically different game plans. If

293
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 6: you believe what Drew Petsing is telling everyone, they're gonna

294
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 6: be what they need to be to beat that week's opponent.

295
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 6: So you're gonna see a little bit of everything. That

296
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 6: means it's gonna be challenging for Kyler. Easy hasn't run

297
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 6: a lot of what we're going to see this year

298
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 6: in game situations. We're talking going back to high school.

299
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 6: So with that in mind, this is most definitely gonna

300
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 6: be a process, and maybe it's not such a bad

301
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 6: thing to see an ultra veteran like Cole mccoyn is

302
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 6: fourteenth season kind of engineer and model some of this

303
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 6: in real time in real games before Kyler takes over.

304
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: Sitting and watching.

305
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 4: As Kyler mentioned earlier, Yeah, maybe it's not a bad thing.

306
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: Much more on Kyler Murray and his knee rehab. Season six,

343
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,120

344
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,360

Speaker 9: This is what everybody loves.

346
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,960

347
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: the team when the pads do come on.

348
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 9: I just I want to learn more about the team,

349
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 9: Like how physical we really are, you know, t shirt ball.

350
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 9: Everybody looks good, kind of like what coach JG says,

00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 9: the pajama ball is over with, you know, and you

352
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,560

353
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 9: guys you have. And I mean I've seen tape of

00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 9: almost everybody out there, Dennis Zeke, you know, those guys

355
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 9: like Xavi and everybody's super physical. But you know, I

356
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 9: want to be out there with them, you know. So

357
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 9: that's what I'm excited about.

358
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: What's the adrenaline like?

359
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 6: I mean, it's the first time in full pads, you

360
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 6: have a brand new staff. I mean, in some ways,

361
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 6: this is your first chance at a true first impression

362
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 6: as a player. We know this roster is wide open

363
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 6: in a lot of areas, right, I mean, it's the

364
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 6: land of opportunity out there for a lot of guys.

365
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 6: So what's the adrenaline level like for most guys with

366
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 6: full pads coming.

367
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 9: I mean, like I said, this is this is what

368
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 9: we've been waiting on. This is what we've been waiting on.

369
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 9: But you're absolutely right. The roster is wide open. I

370
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 9: love the energy that the staff brings. I love, you know,

371
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 9: the energies that the energy that the guys bring every day.

372
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 9: I know everybody's gonna be ready to compete tomorrow on out.

373
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 9: Not that we haven't been competing so far, but you

374
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 9: know what the pads coming on. Everybody's ready.

375
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: Let's get to know you a little bit more. Josh

376
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: Woods doing joining us here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report.

377
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 4: Last season with the Lions, first season with the Cardinals.

378
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 4: But here you are an undrafted free agent in twenty eighteen.

379
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 4: Just your story about getting into the league and then

380
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 4: staying in the league. I think that's a big thing

381
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: going into year five.

382
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, I was kind of a late bloomer in

383
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 9: college playing safety. Got hurt towards the end of my career.

384
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 9: I actually thought about hanging it up, and a scout

385
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 9: was in the building at Maryland and told me, you know,

386
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 9: you're don't get another shot, just be ready. Long story short,

387
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 9: draft rows around, didn't get my name called. Was like

388
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 9: just kind of ready to hang it up. My friend

389
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 9: has a bunch of business. We were actually making donuts

390
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 9: that morning and I got a call from one of

391
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 9: the scouts from the Bears invited me to rookie mini camp.

392
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 9: So obviously I took the invite, came in as a

393
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 9: try out, and they just kept saying, bro, you're a

394
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 9: big safety. You're huge. And they put me on the

395
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 9: scale after day two and I was like two seventeen,

396
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 9: and so they sent me home after that. Didn't get signed,

397
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 9: but they called my agent and said, hey, we think

398
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 9: we see something in them, like at a coverage backer.

399
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 9: You know, just tell them gain some weight, try to

400
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 9: learn backer in five weeks and come back. And so

401
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 9: I came back at like two thirty two for vet

402
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 9: mini camp, got a come on track, and it was

403
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 9: just I mean the rest is history. I mean I

404
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 9: was minimal reps, didn't really know much about linebacker. But

405
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 9: the way I got onto the team was special teams. Uh,

406
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 9: just kicking butt on special teams and you know, turning heads, effort, motor,

407
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 9: running around and was able to kind of hang on

408
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 9: and make the cut and well not the fifty three

409
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 9: initially practice squad that first year, but you know, just

410
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 9: keep stacking and you know, leaving my leaving my imprint

411
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 9: until finally last year was captain on special teams in Detroit.

412
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 9: So it's been a climb, it's been. It's definitely a story.

413
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 9: It's not you know, it's not the hardest one that

414
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 9: I've heard, but it definitely wasn't easy.

415
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: That's amazing. One minute making donuts.

416
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, next minute you get a shot at a NFL career.

417
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 6: That's Josh Woods is our guest here on the Red

418
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 6: Sea Report. So tell us about special teams. What sort

419
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 6: of mentality does it take? If I saw right, you

420
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 6: were top five and tackles solo tackles last year in

421
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 6: the NFL, A heck of a year on special teams.

422
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 6: Now you're getting a shot inside backer. But just in

423
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 6: terms of being a special teams standout, what does that require?

424
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 9: I tell guys for the most part is want to?

425
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 9: Is want to because a lot of guys they come

426
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 9: in from college being the guy. You know, they never

427
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 9: really had to focus on special teams and you know they're, oh,

428
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 9: I'm so I'm too good for this or this, Like

429
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 9: the difference between this guy and that guy is want

430
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 9: to is effort, you know, So when the ball is snapped,

431
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 9: I know that I'm going to go make the tackle.

432
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 9: I tell my guys all the time, meet me at

433
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 9: the ball, because I'm I'm already going to be there,

434
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 9: So meet me at the ball, you know. And I

435
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 9: think that that's the difference between a lot of guys

436
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 9: and who excel in special teams and a lot of

437
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 9: guys who don't know. Obviously, I've learned some tricks of

438
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 9: the trade, and you know, some some small technique things,

439
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 9: but for the most part, it's really just energy and

440
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 9: want to if you want to learn it, you want

441
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 9: to do the techniques right. You want to get down

442
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 9: there and make the play and energize the team. I mean,

443
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 9: special teams gets me riled up. No matter how much

444
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 9: I play on defense, like, I still want to be

445
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 9: involved in special teams because it's that spark. It's just

446
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 9: that one place spark that the team needs, you know sometimes,

447
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 9: and it's just a lot of fun.

448
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 4: Your special teams coordinator. Last season in Detroit, Dave pipp

449
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 4: called you the emotional leader for the Detroit Lions. I'm

450
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 4: not exactly sure. He might not be too happy that

451
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: you're no longer with the Lions. The Cardinals, though, are

452
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 4: glad that you are here. You've mentioned special teams, but

453
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: now getting more of a look at inside linebacker. You

454
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: haven't played a lot of defense, especially last season. This

455
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: opportunity that's in front of you right now, it seems

456
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 4: like just from our vantage point, it's Kaiser White, Chris Barnes,

457
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 4: and Josh Woods as far as that rotation, as far

458
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: as first team inside linebacker.

459
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, it's a heck of an opportunity in

460
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 9: front of me. Trying to take it day by day,

461
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 9: you know, just keep stacking bricks and not look too

462
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 9: far into the future. The chips so far where they may.

463
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 9: You know, guy, it's in God's hands, not mine. And

464
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 9: I just try to be as consistent as possible. That's

465
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 9: something that I haven't been as great at in my

466
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 9: career beforehand, but I understand that the opportunity that's in

467
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 9: front of me is one that's never been there before.

468
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 9: So just you know, leaning on my guys, asking them

469
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 9: to hold me accountable, holding myself accountable, but for the

470
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 9: most part, just being consistent, developing a routine, like really

471
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 9: trying to you know, master what we call like being

472
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 9: a pro, you know, and not really just checking boxes

473
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 9: and you know, going through the motions, but actually learning,

474
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 9: not just what my job is on this call, but

475
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 9: why are we calling this? What did you know? Improving

476
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 9: my football IQ? Things like that, And it's just a

477
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 9: heck of an opportunity in front of me. You know,

478
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 9: I'm excited for it. I'm honored, just ready to take

479
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 9: take control of it.

480
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 6: You know, left tackle DJ Humphreys is the longest tenured Cardinal.

481
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 6: He called the switch to Jonathan Cannon not just a

482
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 6: culture ship, but a culture shock. You played for Dan Campbell.

483
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 6: Now those of us from the outside looking in, especially

484
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 6: after hard Knocks, we see Dan Campbell and we see

485
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 6: a guy who went about resetting the culture in Detroit.

486
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 6: Do you see any parallels?

487
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

488
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 9: Absolutely absolutely, It's kind of a lot of parallels that

489
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 9: I see. Is no nonsense, right, You're you're putting a

490
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 9: lot of the responsibility on the players right as themselves.

491
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 9: You're no nonsense, but not micromanaging, right, And it teaches

492
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 9: you to hold each other accountable as well as yourself,

493
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 9: like I just spoke about, And it's a fun environment.

494
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 9: People want to be here, people want to do things right.

495
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 9: You get rewarded for doing things right, and it's you know,

496
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 9: you see equal opportunity across the board for a lot

497
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 9: of positions for a lot of guys, and guys can

498
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 9: buy into that. You know JG's system, how we do

499
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 9: things here. Guys can buy into that because it makes sense.

500
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 9: You're not playing a game smoking mirrors. You're being very

501
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 9: straight up for with us, and we can trust you.

502
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 9: That's how trust is built, and when you trust the

503
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 9: coach is easy to play for him.

504
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: That word accountability, We've heard it a lot from JAG

505
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: and a couple of examples already he's having. Collins told

506
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: us that he was called out for eating during a

507
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 4: team meeting, something that was allowed a year ago. We

508
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: saw earlier on Saturday that there was a little bit

509
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 4: of a skirmish and all of a sudden LJ. Collier

510
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 4: Dennis Daly kicked out of practice. Have you had that

511
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 4: moment where you've been held accountable yet?

512
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: Ory?

513
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 9: Do you?

514
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: Is it even even a question that you're You're always there? No?

515
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 9: I mean, I can't say that I'm perfect. I won't.

516
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 9: I won't go as far as to say that, but

517
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 9: I'm definitely learning from other people's mistakes tall that a

518
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 9: little bit of wisdom, you know, being year six, you

519
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 9: kind of you're able to, you know, see some of

520
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 9: the mistakes that guys are making. You're like, oh, probably

521
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 9: I'm not going to do that. You know, I'm going

522
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 9: to learn from these guys. So it's dope, though it's dope,

523
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 9: the way everything's being run like, it's it's just a

524
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 9: lot of fun.

525
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 6: I've heard it said that to be an effective NFL

526
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 6: at coach, you have to have their respect of your players,

527
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 6: to trust your players, but there also needs to be

528
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 6: a little bit of a fear factor that the guy

529
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 6: in charge, right, you're never maybe quite sure what he's thinking.

530
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 6: And I know a lot of us who have covered

531
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 6: this team for a long time or like, look, there's

532
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 6: new decision makers in place, who knows what they're thinking

533
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 6: or what they're evaluating. Do you do you sense that

534
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 6: vibe in this camp?

535
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 9: Absolutely, I haven't really seen it yet, but JG's insane.

536
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 9: I know it. I know it. He'll be talking and

537
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 9: he'll get riled up, you know, things that you're passionate about,

538
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 9: and you know he just every like he's just explaining

539
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 9: something to us, and then all of a sudden, like

540
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 9: his face is rad of veins are popping out of

541
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 9: his neck and then he has to go kind of

542
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 9: woosa out of it. I'm like, he's nuts, He's nuts,

543
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 9: And I'm like, and guys see it too, and they're like,

544
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 9: I do not want to get on.

545
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 4: His bad side for the that's in a good way though.

546
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 9: Oh no, absolutely, absolutely, you want to coach like intensity, right,

547
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 9: just intense, but like intense. It's like a perfect balance

548
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 9: because it's so intense but yet like laid back and

549
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 9: you know, they're not person guys out for being wrong.

550
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 9: You know, like it's a good learning environment. But it's

551
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 9: also like the intensity because like you said, we're here

552
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 9: to win games. We don't win games, all of us

553
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 9: go home.

554
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 6: So are you of the opinion that a team takes

555
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 6: on the personality of its head coach. Did that happen

556
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 6: with Dan Campbell?

557
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: For example?

558
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 9: I mean, yeah, I was biting kneecaps with one bund cheat.

559
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 9: Heck yeah he did.

560
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 6: Though, I mean that team became much more physical after

561
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell took over.

562
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: Correct.

563
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, we hit every day. Dag on me if

564
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 9: we had pads on we were hidding.

565
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: That's true.

566
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 6: Hard Knocks last year. I remember watching Hard Knocks and

567
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 6: I couldn't believe the violence, the tenacity, just the physicality

568
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 6: of that camp. Fact, there was a moment in Hard

569
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 6: Knocks last year because they covered your training camp with

570
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 6: the Lions where I think he had to explain to

571
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 6: the team.

572
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: Why it was so physical day after day after day.

573
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 9: Right, yeah, yeah, No, he wanted us to be what

574
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 9: do you call calloused? Callous?

575
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: Was the word?

576
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 4: Leave us with this says, we come full circle with

577
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 4: Josh Woods. You mentioned that once upon a time you

578
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: were making donuts on the phone.

579
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: Rang.

00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 9: we don't. We've gotten away from the donuts. But the

585
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 9: best donut was the Oreo cream donut. So it was

586
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 9: like a regular glazed donut had some vanilla icing on it,

587
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 9: and we crumbled up some Oreos. You dropped that sucker.

00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: First things first, a special thanks to Josh Woods joining

620
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: us in our last segment. Someone that's Cardinal fans really

621
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: can root for. Pay attention to this upcoming season again

622
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: number fifty one on the defensive side of the ball.

623
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: Let's stay on that defensive side of the ball. You

624
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: heard coming into this segment, Mike Tomlin, Steelers head coach

625
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 4: Rave about Buddha GM Monty attin Fort during his introductory

626
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 4: press conference, Rave about Buddha and yeah, it is good

627
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 4: to have Buddha Baker on the football field. He did

628
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 4: get a little bit more money thrown his way, Kyle,

629
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 4: so he reported, appears to be in good spirits. Maybe

630
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 4: could be a little bit happier, but the contract right

631
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 4: now is a non story and we'll see what happens

632
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: next offseason.

633
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

634
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: Look, so a lot's been talked about, both the players

635
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 5: and through the media and even the coaching staff about

636
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 5: this changing culture and winning behavior and the standards and accountability.

637
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 5: None of those things would ever change Buddha Baker because

638
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 5: he was doing all of those things before he was.

639
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 5: But you can hear when he got up and did

640
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: his press conference and was asked questions.

641
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 7: You can hear how excited he is about to change.

642
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 5: You know, when you are a leader, when you're a

643
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 5: guy and you're going out there and you're doing the

644
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 5: right things every day, and you're practicing hard, and you're

645
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 5: playing through injury and you are sacrificing, but you don't

646
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 5: see that same level of commitment for everybody else. That's

647
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 5: when you develop a cynicism. That's when you get separations

648
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: in the locker room. That's when you know you're frustrated

649
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: with how things are going. But he's excited because everybody

650
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 5: else on this roster is being held to the same

651
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 5: standard that he has held himself to. And look, you

652
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 5: can in the short term, you can lead by example

653
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 5: and people will follow. But when it becomes too difficult,

654
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 5: or when you suffer some adversity or a few setbacks,

655
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 5: everybody does at winet to eighty and they revert back

656
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 5: to their norm. But what you can hear in his

657
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 5: voice and about how excited he is about this team,

658
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 5: and Jonathan Gannon's vision is everybody is on the same

659
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 5: page moving forward. Everybody's being held to the same standard,

660
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: not just the standard he holds to himself. And I

661
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 5: think that's why you can hear the excitement in his voice,

662
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: and look, Buddha Baker is the same Buddha Baker regardless

663
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 5: I mean it. You know, I'm happy for him that

664
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 5: he got what he was looking for and that he's

665
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 5: here and he's all in. But even if he wasn't,

666
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 5: I mean, he said he's not the kind of guy

667
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 5: that was going to hold out or hold in. He

668
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: is a true pros pro, and I'm just happy that

669
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 5: it all got resolved in that the leader in this

670
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 5: locker room is back out on the practice field for

671
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 5: the rest of the team.

672
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 6: I'm not sure ultimately what the culture of this team

673
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 6: looks like, but I think we can safely say the

674
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 6: mentality of this coaching staff and the head coach in particular,

675
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 6: is a much closer match to Buddha Baker than it

676
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 6: was the last four years. The mentality is shared when

677
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 6: you hear Josh Woods in that last second when we

678
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 6: ask about Dan Campbell and he cuts us off mid

679
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 6: sentence and he says, you know what, it's no nonsense

680
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 6: from Jonathan Gannon, but it's not micro managing. And guys

681
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 6: can buy into that that it's equal opportunity across the roster.

682
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 6: And when Jonathan Gannon can point to a Buddha Baker

683
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 6: and all pro a number three right out there on

684
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 6: the field, not number thirty two, number three, as a

685
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 6: guy who models that not only a game in, game out,

686
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 6: but a playing in playout type of basis, you want

687
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 6: no nonsense. The Buddha Baker that we've talked to a

688
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: few times down in the sideline during special teams periods, Craig,

689
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 6: he's about his business like is I've ever seen him.

690
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 6: He said he literally took no days off after he

691
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 6: had the fractured shoulder, and he just he didn't take

692
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: a vacation of any significance. It was complete commitment to

693
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 6: his off season. He said, he's put on a few pounds,

694
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 6: but he's quicker, he's stronger, most definitely stronger across his shoulders.

695
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 6: That's according to Buddha Baker. And I mean you think

696
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 6: he in the last five years, he has almost one

697
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 6: hundred more tackles than any other safety in the league,

698
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 6: and I think he will separate himself even further this

699
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 6: coming season. I'm looking for a career year from Buddha Baker.

700
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 4: Despite all that success, there is still a large chip

701
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: on his shoulder. You referenced the number thirty two. That's

702
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 4: where we see the keep seeing number thirty two photographs,

703
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 4: not number three. It's been a couple of seasons of

704
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: Buddha Baker wearing that number three, and everyone needs to

705
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 4: kind of realize that and get on the same page.

706
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: Speaking up on the same page, Buddha Baker on what

707
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 4: he has noticed about this new culture with a new

708
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: coaching staff.

709
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 13: I definitely believe that this coaching staff and Mantin and

710
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 13: GM are developing a great culture here. And you know,

711
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 13: I'm very excited for you know, the things that they're

712
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 13: doing and the things that you know they coach, and

713
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 13: the things that they preach throughout every single day. You know,

714
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 13: it's definitely a blessing to get that because my job

715
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 13: is to continue to be consistent in the way I play,

716
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 13: but also just trying to get that coachure right. And

717
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 13: you know, this coaching staff is a great staff, and

718
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 13: I believe we got it. So it's definitely awesome for me.

719
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 4: We all saw it on Hard Knocks in season a

720
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 4: year ago. That passion, the personality of Buddha Baker. He

721
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: is all about football. He has a love for the

722
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: sports and now he just wants to be surrounded by

723
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 4: that same love, that same intensity on Sundays. And I

724
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 4: think he's got that not only with his teammates, but

725
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 4: coaching staff and in the front office.

726
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: No.

727
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it seems like everybody's pointing the same direction. I

728
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 5: mean from everything I've heard and everything I can tell. Look,

729
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 5: it's tougher, I mean, but football is a tough sport

730
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 5: for tough people. And in the end, you know, players

731
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 5: don't always like it, but they appreciate when everything is

732
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 5: disciplined and everybody's held to the same standard, and everybody is,

733
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 5: you know, buying into this new structure. And because you

734
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 5: understand that, you can get by in the short term,

735
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 5: you can even have success in the short term when

736
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 5: things are a little bit loose, when you let a

737
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 5: few things go here and there, but in the long run,

738
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 5: it's going to catch up to you. And so that's

739
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 5: why again, you know, you I love hearing this excitement

740
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 5: in his voice. You know the other My other takeaway

741
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 5: is you guys referenced him being angry about them listing

742
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 5: him as number thirty two in the top one hundred.

743
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: Players.

744
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 5: Look the best players, the most elite athletes. They find

745
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 5: motivation in the most random places, and they find something.

746
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 5: They keep that chip on their shoulder, and when they

747
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 5: lose it, they find something else that will drive them,

748
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 5: that gets them out of bed, that gets them that

749
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 5: extra rep in the weight room, that makes them want

750
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 5: to get to the ball every single play. Because he's still,

751
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 5: in spite of his success, in spite of his Pro Bowls,

752
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 5: in spite of his All Pro status, he feels slighted.

753
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 5: And that's what I love about him. He finds a

754
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 5: way to find motivation in the littlest things.

755
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 6: Honestly, if it wasn't Buddha Baker, I think any other

756
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 6: player on this roster who had asked to have their

757
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 6: contract renegotiated.

758
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: They'd still be out of practice.

759
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 6: He's such a singular player, not only on this team,

760
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 6: but in this league. Even the elite safeties in the

761
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 6: league don't quite do things a Buddha Baker does. The

762
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 6: Derwin James, the make of Fitzpatricks. He's such that singular talents,

763
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 6: so such a unique guy, and the mentality is so

764
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 6: vital to what Jonathan Gannon wants to achieve that you

765
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 6: know what anybody else said, ask to renegotiate their deal

766
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 6: with two years left on it, I think they'd still

767
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 6: be left hanging, and they'd still be at home.

768
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 3: Not Buddha Baker you brought up Jonathan Gannon.

769
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 4: Let's hear from the Cardinals head coach on his starting safety.

770
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 10: First and foremost. You know, when you turn on a tape,

771
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 10: everyone is watching that tape. Who stands out? You know?

772
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 10: I think Jeff Rogers said it best in his Special

773
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 10: Teams meeting. You know, he's looking for guys When you

774
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 10: turn on a tape, it's like who the is that guy?

775
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 10: You know? And obviously everyone knows who number three is.

776
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 10: But those type of plays show up, you know, pretty

777
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 10: consistently on a tape for him.

778
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 3: And it's not just on Sundays, Kyle.

779
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: We see it in practice, whether they are fans in

780
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 4: attendance or not. Here at State Farm Stadium back in Tampe.

781
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 4: He practices as if each and every day is a

782
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 4: game day.

783
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: Because there's that old adage.

784
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 4: You play how you practice, you get in, you get

785
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 4: out what you put in, and the perfect example that

786
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 4: is Buddha Baker.

787
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 5: No, you're right, and I believe you know, every team,

788
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 5: particularly every defense needs that belcow. You need that guy

789
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 5: that sets the tone at every practice. Sometimes it can

790
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 5: move around, it could be different players, but it has

791
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 5: been Buddha Baker and we've seen it. We've seen what

792
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: this team looks like without him on the field and

793
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 5: what it looks like with him, and it just feels different.

794
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 7: It looks different. And he provides that juice.

795
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 5: He's the juice man, right, He's he's out there, you

796
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 5: know the mostly just by the way he plays. And

797
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 5: you know, the hard part is when you're that guy,

798
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 5: when you set that standard and everybody's looking for you

799
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 5: to bring the energy, you can never have an off day.

800
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 5: You can never have a day where you're not giving

801
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 5: full energy. And so that's who Buddha Baker is. He

802
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 5: understands that his status on this team is to provide

803
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 5: the energy at practice, to to help the guys have juice,

804
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 5: to push everybody else, not just by his words, but

805
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 5: with his actions. And so you know, he is just

806
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 5: in the ultimate leader. He's the guy that when young

807
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 5: guys come to the team, you say, I want you

808
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 5: to watch this. I want you to follow what he does,

809
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 5: follow his every move, and do what he does because

810
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 5: he's just that different. And hopefully some of these young

811
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 5: players that are new this roster can just take a

812
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 5: little bit of that and put it at it to

813
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 5: their game.

814
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 6: We started this segment with that miked up NFL Films

815
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 6: footage Mike Tomlin reacting to Buddha Baker just over the

816
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 6: course of a Cardinals Steelers getting like, oh my goodness,

817
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 6: who is this guy? And witness sing at first hand?

818
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 6: I have a front row seat to me. That just

819
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 6: says it all. NFL Network just splashed a stat Mike

820
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 6: Tomlin has finished five hundred or better in all sixteen

821
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 6: seasons he has coached the Steelers. And when a head

822
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 6: coach who's seen it all, done it all, who will

823
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 6: eventually be in the Hall of Fame, has that sort

824
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 6: of reaction to Buddha Baker's style of play out on

825
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 6: the field, how do you replace that? How do you

826
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 6: replicate that? You can't you build around that. That's why

827
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 6: in this great offseason that was a massive purge as

828
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 6: we've talked about there's a reason Buddha Baker is still

829
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 6: that building block and was just rewarded with new money

830
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 6: and the best may still yet to be still yet

831
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 6: to come for Buddha Baker, twenty seven.

Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

838
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 14: Drew, he didn't skip any steps. He was a quality

839
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 14: control first, and he's a receivers coach, and he's a

840
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 14: tight ends coach, and he's a quarterback coach.

841
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 7: And I always thought Drew was about.

842
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 14: The right things as far as from a team standpoint,

843
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 14: character standpoint. He was curious about the game, and hey,

844
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 14: this is how Norv did it. But then I like,

845
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 14: this is what Shermer did. And then Kevin kind of

846
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 14: changed this, and then he was with Kubiak for a

847
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 14: little bit, and I just loved that he coached different

848
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 14: positions on the offense and really had the right answers

849
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 14: with how we want to play as a team and

850
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 14: as an offense, and.

851
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 4: We will see what this offense looks like under first

852
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 4: year offensive coordinator Drew Petsing last year, the last three

853
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 4: years with the Cleveland Browns last season, the quarterbacks coach

854
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 4: the two years prior to that, coaching tight ends. So yeah,

855
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: as you heard Jonathan Gannon come in talk about his

856
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 4: oc working his way up the ladder, and now what

857
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 4: is this offense going to look like? Is there a

858
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 4: Drew Petsing philosophy? Is there something he wants to do?

859
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: Or do you adapt around your players? And we did

860
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 4: get a chance to hear from Petsing a little bit

861
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: on Monday, Kyle, because he did say, gonna tailor the

862
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 4: offense around our best players. And the big thing is

863
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 4: is not to be predictable, because that was the key

864
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 4: phrase that a lot of people have used of the

865
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 4: last four years that the offense people knew what was coming,

866
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 4: which is fine, but if it stopped, then you need

867
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 4: to adjust. And I don't know if there was the

868
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 4: adjustment last season.

869
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 7: Right, you know?

870
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 5: The thing again, a common theme with both offense and

871
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 5: defense is that they're going to be adaptable. I don't

872
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 5: know that they're married to one specific system, one specific scheme,

873
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 5: and you know what I love to me a coach

874
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 5: first and foremost is a teacher. And to hear him

875
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 5: talk about working with Clayton Tune, for example, saying I

876
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 5: need to teach it in the way that he learns it.

877
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 5: It's not here's my information, you need to know it.

878
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 5: He's and he mentioned the same thing. And working with Kyler,

879
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 5: you know, with the challenges of the rules in place

880
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 5: since he's on pup, but you know, he has a

881
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 5: very specific idea and how to coach each one of

882
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 5: his players and how to install his offense. And to

883
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 5: hear him talk about, you know again they're gonna tailor

884
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 5: the offense around their best players. Because, let's be frank,

885
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: the NFL fans don't tune in to watch a coach's system.

886
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 5: They don't tune in to see how a coach adjusts

887
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 5: to it blitz, they don't tune in to any of that.

888
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 7: They tune in to the stars. They want to see

889
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 7: the athletes.

890
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 5: And that's what makes the league, that's what makes good

891
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 5: teams is the ability to use your elite athletes, use

892
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 5: your premier players, put them in the best position to

893
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 5: succeed and then you have success. And that's what I

894
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 5: love about listening to him, and so you know, you

895
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 5: get the feeling that this offense is probably going to

896
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 5: look one way with Colt McCoy. But when your best player,

897
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 5: you know, one of your most elite athletes is Kyler Murray.

898
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 5: When he's back, this offense might look completely different because

899
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 5: of his ability to teach and adapt.

900
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 4: Before we get your thoughts, Paul on what we think

901
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 4: this offense might look like, let's hear from the man himself,

902
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 4: Drew Petsing on what he hopes this offense looks like.

903
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 15: I think the biggest thing is to be multiple. So

904
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 15: when it makes sense to go on tempo and being

905
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 15: the gun, do those things. When it makes sense to

906
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 15: slow the game down, get in an out hool on

907
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 15: and get under center, we need to do it. I

908
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 15: think the biggest thing in this league is if you

909
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 15: get predictable, you become easy to defend. They know what

910
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 15: you're doing, They're going to make it pretty hard on you.

911
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 15: So that's going to be a big emphasis for us

912
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 15: as we get into September, and.

913
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 4: We've seen that less predictable offense during these practices here

914
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 4: at State Farms Stadium. Multiple tight ends, pre snap motion,

915
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 4: under center, shotgun, a lot of different things, a lot

916
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 4: of moving parts.

917
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 6: If Drew Petsing, if this hadn't been his philosophy for

918
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 6: the last umpteen years, you would think he was referring

919
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 6: to the recent iteration of the Arizona Cardinals, because in

920
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 6: a lot of ways, the Cardinals were singular and what

921
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 6: they did that spread offense, there wasn't a lot of

922
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 6: what he just described. There certainly wasn't a lot of

923
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 6: evolution or adjustment over the course of a single season,

924
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 6: and so for him to cite that, guess what he's

925
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 6: also pinpointing. I think the problem with the Cardinals offense

926
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 6: over the last couple of years, especially the second half

927
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 6: of the seasons. So very curious to see exactly how

928
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 6: that plays out. But to your point, Craig, we've seen

929
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 6: empty backfields, we've seen thirteen personnel, you've seen eye formations,

930
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 6: and this is all stuff everyone's been able to see

931
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 6: at the open practices, So you've seen a little bit

932
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 6: of everything. The question is how long before this offense

933
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 6: masters it is? Cole McCoy said in the offseason set

934
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 6: it during mini camps. Said it again yesterday. They've had

935
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 6: their fair share of mistakes. There's gonna be a learning curve,

936
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 6: So how much progress can they make over the course

937
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 6: of a camp. A nice sighted Kevin O'Connell, the coach

938
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 6: of the Vikings, and he was micd up over the

939
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 6: weekend and I happened to see that segment. He was

940
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 6: just talking about how much better the offense is in

941
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 6: year two of the system. So, look, there's gonna be

942
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,479
Speaker 6: growing pains, we're all gonna witness it. But for that reason,

943
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 6: if you can just run the ball and keep it simple,

944
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 6: maybe you minimize just how costly some of those mistakes

945
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 6: could be.

946
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 4: And real quick cloud that was the time for those

947
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 4: mistakes to be made, because you figure out what this

948
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 4: team and these players could do best, and you utilize

949
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 4: that in the season.

950
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 5: Right, and if it is truly your plan to evolve

951
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 5: and changed on a week to week basis, you've got

952
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 5: to think that's why they're throwing so much at these players.

953
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you've heard it from several players. They're just

954
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 5: being overloaded with information. They're being quized in meeting rooms,

955
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 5: they're being tested now to see what they can handle

956
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 5: throughout the course of a season, because week ones game

957
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 5: plan may be completely different from week two's game plan,

958
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 5: and they're preparing the players for that right now.
