Unleash the far 13 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: and I quote a member of the Arizona Cardinals, a 14 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: member of the all decade team, Ron wolf Lee. You 15 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: said earlier today that the Cardinals attend to go to 16 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: Big d to Monday night football where we don't expect 17 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: it to be a problem. The old byoe bring your 18 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: own energy, not on Monday night. And Pat Pe was 19 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: the one who said they are going with the intent 20 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: to quote put the world on notice that this team 21 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: is for real. Quote how about that boy? For a 22 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: stated game plan? It's pretty strong right there, PAULI is 23 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: it not? I mean I love it. Yeah, bring that 24 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of energy, go ahead, And now you've got to 25 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: go out and play. And I'm not saying that he's 26 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: not going to do that. I am saying, though, if 27 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: you're going to say things like that, well you better 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: go out in ball, right because you know what a 29 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: lot of the skeptics and doubters and haters are saying 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: right now that you beat the Jets, correct, and with 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: the Niners struggling, and you have to win against Washington 32 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: that you know, the Cardinals three wins him out to 33 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: some sort of false positive. And now without Chandler Jones. 34 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: We heard what Dan Orlovski said this week on ESPN 35 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: minus Chandler Jones, and I quote again, this takes a 36 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: contending team out of the mix. Yeah, just Paully. Honestly, though, 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: going back to what you just said right off the 38 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: top about Pappy right there, it reminds me of being 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: out on the field, Paul. And sometimes when you were 40 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: out on the field, you know what you would do 41 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: PAULI if you felt like you were dragging, that you 42 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: were lagging a little bit, that you were you know, 43 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: I've got to pick it up here. A lot of times, Paul, 44 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: you'd start talking yourself. No, no, no, you'd start talking 45 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: to the opponents. You start dare I say, trash talking, 46 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: because you knew one thing. If I'm going to start talking, 47 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna start flapping it, I better back it up. 48 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: And you would. I would do that, Paul, And I 49 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: knew there were other guys that would do it as 50 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: well if they felt like they were dragging a little bit. Now, listen, 51 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's what Pat Pe was doing right there, 52 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: but it reminds me of Man, if you're gonna say something, 53 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: you better go back it up. And that really gets 54 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: me jacked up, because Pat Pe, more times than not 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: has backed it up. What is the degree of difficulty 56 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: now minus Chandler Jones in your mind, the guy they 57 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: traded four in twenty sixteen and has led the NFL 58 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: and sacks and forced fumbles ever since. How do you 59 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: quantify the loss of Chandler Jones to the biceps injury 60 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. Yeah, First of all. 61 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: You just you can't. You're not going to replace him 62 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: with another player. You're not going to do that. Now, 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: how are you going to go about your business? I 64 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I do know that scheming pressure is a 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: big part of why Vance Joseph is a defensive coordinator 66 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You look at their third 67 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: down defense right now, they're still very very good in 68 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: elite third down defense overall. Well, now they're going to 69 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: have to put that third down Moniker. They're gonna have 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: to put it on the line because Dalton and the 71 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys with all those weapons, they're coming. And I'm 72 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: telling you right now, Andy Dalton is a focused dude. 73 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: So Chandler Jones, They're gonna miss him, Big Paul. There's 74 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: no way to replace him, But I think the one 75 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: way you can try is via scheme. Well, the Cardinals, 76 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: to your note there, did check the three big boxes 77 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: fans Joseph wanted to go ahead and see in this 78 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: win against the Jets, third down, red zone and tackling 79 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: they were all back. And the Cardinals points per game, 80 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: which now is a defense, is top five in the NFL. 81 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: Check it out. After a thirty to ten win against 82 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 1: the Jets. Of course you want a number. How about 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: the two sacks in ten snaps by Dennis Gardek who 84 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: was our very special guest tonight. And it's all presented 85 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert. It is the big red Rage. 86 00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: We are santan Ford shotguns and half the Kyler murt 87 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: from the pocket, deep pass left side going for Hopkins, 88 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: one handed cats and a touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins was blanketed 89 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: by a jet, but it don't matter. Hopkins makes the 90 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: catch and the Cardinals man just put the Jets to sleep. 91 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: Oh can you taste it right there? Maybe the fifty 92 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: fifty balls to the left of Kyler Murray and a 93 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: perfect passde hop That is big time with a one 94 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: hand snack, perhaps the best all around receiver in the NFL. 95 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: Great hands, great vision, grade speed, six grabs of buck 96 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: thirty one, that thirty seven yard touchdowns set up by 97 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: a forty five yard chunk throw. DeAndre Hopkins taking his 98 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: skills to the big stage in the Arizona Cardinals against 99 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night. And by the way, 100 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley eighteen of the top twenty rated TV shows 101 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, R NFL broadcasts, so you know everyone's 102 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: going to be watching. Everyone wants to have a big game. 103 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: It is the showcase, there is no doubt about it. 104 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: This is the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford 105 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are santan Ford. Moments away, we'll be 106 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: talking with Dennis Gardak, one of the big stars of 107 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: the game. But give us your thoughts on and DeAndre 108 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: Hopkins and you guys mentioned in the play call there, 109 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: you and Dave pass about the fifty fifty ball is 110 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: back in the Arizona Cardinals offense. Yeah, Polly, I thought 111 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: that was when you get down to the tactical level. 112 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the big pluses of 113 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: this game for the Arizona Cardinals, just the fact that 114 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray took some shots down the field on what 115 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: clearly we're fifty fifty balls to DeAndre Hopkins and it 116 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: paid off in a big, big way for the Cardinals. 117 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: That chunk throw. I want to go back to the 118 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: forty five yard chunk throw. Not the touchdown Bali, but 119 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: the forty five yard throw that he happened to throw first. 120 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, Polly, his eyes were 121 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: fantastic on this thing. You could see that he was 122 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: anticipating a roll a safety rolling away from beyondre Hopkins, 123 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: and suddenly that anticipation happened on the snap and you 124 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: could almost see Kyler Murray's eyes go wide because he 125 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: knew he had singled up on the backside. He had 126 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: singled up beyondre Hopkins and because of that, and now 127 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's throwing the ball up on 128 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: a fifty fifty ball and guess what happened. D hop 129 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: came down with it. I think that's where you start 130 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: on the tactical level. And then the fact that he 131 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: did it again on a thirty seven yard touchdown, it 132 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: tells me this is something we're going to see a 133 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: whole lot more of going forward. Man. I like hearing 134 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: that about Kyler as well, that he's throwing with anticipation, 135 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: because we know he has everything else in the skill set. 136 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: When he's thrown with anticipation and then the accuracy is 137 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: with it. And we saw that against the Jets and 138 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins in that final touchdown drive was a beneficiary. 139 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: In fact, here's d hop on those big catches. You 140 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: know cover one, you know one hot safety which means, 141 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, meet one on one with a cornerback and 142 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, I like my eyes and I was just 143 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, telling Kylie just trust me. The guy was off, 144 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: the corner was off. You know, he wasn't close to me. 145 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: But you know I was told to, you know, give 146 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: me a chance, and you know, let's work on some things. 147 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: See that Baldi that is so beautiful right there out 148 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: of d Hop. He saw it too, the safety rotating 149 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: to the middle of the field. That's what you hear 150 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: when he's saying cover one, right, he's talking about man free. 151 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: He's talking about man across the board with a free 152 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: safety in the middle of the field. That's what Kyler saw. 153 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: He saw that safety rotate to the middle of the 154 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: field of that man. D Hop was one on one 155 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: on the backside. Identifying those moments and throwing it up 156 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: is something that I'm looking forward to because we're going 157 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: to say a whole lot more greatness from d Hop. 158 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: All right, so hit zoom out. Have we not seen 159 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: this before? Long time Cardinals fans. Once upon a time, 160 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: it was Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald, if he's single covered, 161 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: he's open. Are we back to that stage? In this 162 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: relationship between a quarterback and receiver. I think so, Polly, 163 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: I really do. Hopefully we're gonna see this again. Listen, 164 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: you watch that on film, and I guarantee you in 165 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: that tape room where they're watching it, they were going 166 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: over and over and over that very play right there, 167 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: the dynamics, the point that actually set up that throw, 168 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, what you did in 169 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: going back and looking at it right now. It's just 170 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: gonna cement in Kyler Murray's head. The fact that when 171 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: this guy is covered as long as he's singled up, 172 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: and if you go back and look at the thirty 173 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown, he wasn't singled up. There was a 174 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: safety also that came over the top and he's still 175 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: caught the ball with one head. So to me, yes, 176 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: this is gonna cement in Kyler's head. You gotta take 177 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: these shots. It's part of our offense. It's who we are. 178 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: That's exactly what Kurt Warner had to learn with Larry 179 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: and learned. That's the operative word, because he's told us 180 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage before. It was a process. 181 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: Because it's so different for a quarterback to think, oh, 182 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: there's a guy all over him, I'll throw it anyway. 183 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: So that trust has to build. Based on those last 184 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: two catches, it's definitely starting to build between those two. 185 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: How about the Cardinals offense in general? One hundred ninety 186 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: six total net yards, a pretty good mix of passing, 187 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: three sixty nine, one hundred and twenty seven Russian, especially 188 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: late going. It got a little more vertical that run game, 189 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: twenty eight first downs. Yet they definitely left points and 190 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: yards on that field, did they not? Yeah, they did, Polly. 191 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: But once again I saw an improvement right here. I'm 192 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: really encouraged by what I saw. Listen, the protection of 193 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Start there. The protection of Kyler Murray after 194 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: five games this season, it's not even close to what 195 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: it was a year ago. Do you know how many 196 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: sacks the Arizona Cardinals had after five games last year, Paully, 197 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: I think it was like two dozen, wasn't it was 198 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: twenty one sacks? Paul? Stop and think about that right there. 199 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: The protection of Kyler Murray was so much better and 200 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: has been so much better through five games. Right now, 201 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: they have eight sacks that they've given up. He's only 202 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: been hit thirteen times. That's number two in the National 203 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: Football League. Number one has been hit nine times the 204 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers, number two, the Arizona Cardinals, 205 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray thirteen hits on Kyler Murray. Plus they 206 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: may have found their rushing attack in that fourth quarter. 207 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: I am greatly encouraged by what I'm seeing with the offense. 208 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: How about as a four time Pro bowler on special 209 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: teams the Pro Bowl Alternata special teams a year ago 210 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: is our guest. Next, a guy who came in had 211 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: two sacks, two memorable sack dances. The guy that Cliff 212 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Kingsbury says said is hell on wheels on the scout 213 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: team that is all straight ahead on the big Red 214 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert We are satan Ford. 215 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: Dennis Gardak, by the way, is playing Chandler Jones position 216 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: right now at right outside linebacker the second down and 217 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: ten back to throw a flack oh sacked by guardck. 218 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, what a move by Dennis Gardak. The 219 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: Barbarian came inside hair flying blacko in the pocket, gonna 220 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: get hit and sacked. Dennis Gardak got him again. And 221 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: then Dennis Gardak doing an interesting sack dance where he 222 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: just kind of bounced back and forth on his feet 223 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: with his hands out, palms up. I don't know what 224 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: he was asking for. What is good guardeck? Dennis Gardak 225 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: got up and did a little barbarian dance around the fire. 226 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: What's that same dance? Like nobody's watching? Yeah? Well, if 227 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there in New York, there's not a fan 228 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: in the stance, every seat is empty, and there's Dennis Gardak, 229 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: not one, but two sack dances like nobody's watching. He 230 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I know I enjoy did Yeah, and there 231 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: was the TV audience obviously watching as against the Jets Jets, 232 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: Jets Jets. He went sack sack in ten snaps and 233 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: he joins us now on the Big Red Rage, presented 234 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: by Santan Ford and Gilbert Dennis. How are you doing? 235 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: How's this week been for you so far? Hi, guys, 236 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Um, It's been a funky week. 237 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: Normally I fly pretty pretty low under the radar, but 238 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: things have been blown up a little bit, you know what. 239 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: I absolutely Dennis Man welcome. First of all, let me 240 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: say that, but also I just wanted to get your 241 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: overall opinion as to this season, how it's going for you, 242 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: the preparation. Just can you quantify how weird this dynamic 243 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: has been this season has been with a pandemic going on. Yeah, 244 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: it's definitely been strange, especially you know, going all the 245 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: way back to the certainty of is this season happening 246 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: kind of in the off season, just being able to 247 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: block out all the noise and just like you've got 248 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: to prepare like it's going to happen whether it does 249 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: or not. You know, you've got to be prepared up 250 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: until you know all the new protocols and everything, and 251 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: now playing without fans. It's weird how how different things 252 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: are yet how similar they are, if that makes any sense, 253 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, it's still ball, 254 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: right eleven on eleven. A lot of guys say, how 255 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: it's the routine that the Cardinals have been able to 256 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: adhere to unlike a lot of other teams. But it's 257 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: that routine that actually helps bring the only semblance of 258 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: normalcy here in twenty twenty. Would you agree with that? Yeah, one, 259 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: when you're kind of like locked into your day to 260 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: day and it feels so similar to how it's been 261 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: in years past, you do kind of lose touch of 262 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: everything outside and how how strange things still are. Okay, 263 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: so Dennis, I'm not talking about the pandemic. I'm talking 264 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: about your season personally. How do you think? No, no, no, 265 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking now. I want I want you to answer 266 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: about your season personally. Now, how do you think it's going. 267 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: I think we're up to We're up to a good start. Um, preparation, 268 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: it's been the same as far as you know, preparation, 269 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: everything going. Um. The team captain was a was a 270 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: pretty big honor this year. Um, did that surprise you? 271 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: Did that surprise you? Oh? It did? It did quite 272 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: a bit. Um, just because I'm not I'm not a 273 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: very big vocal guy. I try to try to lead 274 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: through my examples and uh, maybe a couple of one 275 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: on one situations if I feel like like somebody needs 276 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: help with something or I'm more of a one on 277 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: one type of guy than getting up in front of 278 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: the team and being like, hey guys, we need to 279 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: do this, this and this. That's just not my style. So, um, 280 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: it did surprise me quite a bit. Did you take 281 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: a moment to appreciate it, to let it resonate and 282 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: soak in that your peers recognized you. Was that meaningful 283 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: to you, Yeah, definitely that. I think that's the highest 284 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: honor of getting the recognition from the guys that you 285 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: see every single day and them kind of understanding the 286 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: grind and the struggle of things and recognizing you as 287 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: a leader among them. It's all about you. Presented by 288 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: Santan Ford and Gilbert Dennis Gardek as our guest, and 289 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: you talk about the preparation. We never expected Chandler Jones 290 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: to go down, yet there you were. How prepared did 291 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: you feel to get your first ever regular season snaps 292 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: on defense? I think it was going to be a 293 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: shock regardless of when the reps came, just because you 294 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: know who I had in front of me. But I 295 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: felt very prepared. I go against DJ Humphries every single 296 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: day in practice. This is my third year in the league, 297 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: so I did have some sort of comfort out there, 298 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: familiar with all the guys on our side of the ball. 299 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: So it was kind of a mixed bag of emotions. 300 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: But when the ball is snapped, you play ball. You 301 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: know what's so weird about it, Dennis, I see you 302 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: more as an off the ball guy. I see you 303 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: more as a week side inside guy. I don't really 304 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: see you as an edge guy. How about you? What 305 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: is your preference? I see myself as an edge guy. 306 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: I do understand that that physically I'm not quite as 307 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: large as those guys up there. But I like rolling 308 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: off the ball. I think it's different seeing everything from 309 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: from one side as opposed to being off the ball 310 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: and having things kind of coming at you from both sides. 311 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: So I like playing from the edge and being able 312 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: to play fast, and I like putting my forehead on people, 313 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: so I get to do that up on the line. 314 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: What is good, right guardek? What it's good? Brother? Speaking 315 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: of it? Was the second sack you set up with 316 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: the bullrush, didn't you? I did? So. Every football is 317 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: a physical sport, so I try to set everything up 318 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: off of contact. I want to. I want to get 319 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: into an offensive environment first before we're gonna figure figure 320 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: out how I'm gonna get around them. Okay, tell me 321 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: about your dance. Okay, can you tell me about those dance? 322 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 1: I mean, did you practice that dance? Dennis? Tell me 323 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: the truth? I mean, everything on Sunday has been rehearsed before, 324 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: so obviously obviously the second one had been done before. 325 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: That's kind of my go to move m when I'm 326 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: feeling the music I practice when I'm at home listening 327 00:18:53,680 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 1: to music, making my dinner. That's kind of that's right there. Well, 328 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: I was, you know what. I'm so proud of you 329 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: for actually admitting that on the air. Well. Earlier today, 330 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson was turned into a judge for like Dancing 331 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: with the Stars, okay, and he was asked a rate 332 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: your sack dances, starting with the second one he started 333 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: with you called hitting the Strobe, and then the first 334 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: one you titled Turned the ConA. And so here's Pat 335 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: p and his rankings. The one he did like this, 336 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: I actually liked that one. That one's actually pretty cool. 337 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: I would have gave that one seven. But the other 338 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: one with the jet thing, I really wasn't digging out him. 339 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: Give that at three, all right? And then you you 340 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: did the math with the media day. Go ahead, reiterate 341 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: what you said earlier about how the equation you came 342 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: up with. Yeah, just some quick math there. Seven and 343 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: three is ten. So I'm taking a ten out of ten. 344 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: We're not gonna we're not gonna talk about the ten 345 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: points I didn't get we're talking about the ten I did. Yes, Yes, 346 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: love it, love the creative math on that one. That's 347 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: now to what degree? So they are rehearsed, they are premeditated, 348 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: you have practiced them, Okay, because I was going to 349 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: say it did look a little instantaneous spur of the moment. 350 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: So going forward, what's your approach? I think I think 351 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: the people have decided to hit the strobe is to 352 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: go to move nice. Yes, I think we're gonna make 353 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: that a signature move now. So Dennis, I'm not trying 354 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: to ask you any questions where you're going to give 355 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: away inside information here, but is it safe to assume 356 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: that you're continuing to receive a lot of reps on 357 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: the edge coming up? Uh? Yeah, Well, I think it's 358 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: going to kind of be a gradual process. M But 359 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: I definitely think I've cracked the rotation um and when 360 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: the reps come, I'm gonna run out there the same 361 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: way I ran out last week and give everything I got. Well, 362 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: there's nothing like your first snaps und defense, your first 363 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: two sacks on defense, and then of course there was 364 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: the game ball that came with it. Let's go into 365 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals locker room courtesy of asy Cardinals dot Com. 366 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: There at five am when I walked through, all right 367 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: to get breakfast works his ass off had two saxes today, 368 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: Dennis Garden, appreciate your boys. Appreciate it. They were calling 369 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: for you to give a speech longer than your speech, 370 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: so but I was feeling, you know, nobody likes to 371 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: give an impromptu speech like that. Nobody likes to be 372 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: in that position. So I was feeling for you there. 373 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Yeah, I had to give an impromptu speech 374 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: in my speech class and uh college, and it went 375 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: about that. Well. That's, by the way, you and Cliff 376 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: Kingsbury probably get along well because you're both early risers, 377 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: aren't you. Yeah, then getting a head start on your 378 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: day kind of helps settle into into the routine and 379 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: get me going for practice and get me ready for 380 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: everything I need to do. You know what, Dennis, I 381 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: think back to your rookie year and immediately I recognize 382 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: the fact that you were going to be a ball 383 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: or in particular in transition on special teams, a transitional 384 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: technician bawling out, and I remember saying to you, hey, listen, 385 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: you get year two rookie you get year two, you'll 386 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: get ten. And I think you're gonna get that big guy. 387 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: And we're going to get into the special teams next, 388 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: and we'll talk a little bit about his background. Well 389 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: if you went to West Virginia, he started at West 390 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: Virginia State. Or remember, if you can play, you will play. 391 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: They will find you. Continue with Dennis Gardeck on the 392 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: big red rate presented by satan Ford in Gilbert will 393 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: snap it from the thirty six. Swiznowski stands at a 394 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: twenty two yard line and the punt is blocked. It 395 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: was blocked by Ezekiel Turner, recovered by Gardak who gets 396 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: up and runs at the fifteen and he's tackled at 397 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: the ten. All the Cardinals their punt return went right 398 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: through the forty nine ers protection with warm pastry. All 399 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: that is sweet baby, right there, Zeke Turner getting the block. 400 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: That is a huge play by the Cardinals special teams. 401 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: And this should turn the momentum of this game. Who black, 402 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: who brought me? That's Prude Baker right there. He was 403 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: all miked up for that. And you guys, that's right, Walfa. 404 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: You guys called it that Cardinals are down ten nothing. 405 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Week one at the Niners Cardinals would not be three 406 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: and two, I don't think right now without that block 407 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: punt and the recovery by Dennis Gardeck, our special guest 408 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: here on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford 409 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: in Bird and no one has ever had to tell 410 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: those guys, Buddha Baker, Zeke Turner or Dennis Gardeck by Oe, 411 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: bring your own energy. Those guys are always flying all 412 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: over the field. And do you have to have that 413 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: Dennis sort of in your DNA to play special teams. 414 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: That's sort of one of those prerequisites because Wolf went 415 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: to four Pro Bowls as special teamers and that's the 416 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: way he played. Yeah, yeah, I think it's definitely a 417 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: separate breed of player on special teams, and we're lucky 418 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: to have a bunch of them on our team. You 419 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: know what I loved about special teams. If in fact 420 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: aliens we're going to land on this planet and you 421 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: wanted to show them what football was all about, you 422 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: put on a kickoff cover reel. That's what you do 423 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: right there, right Dennis. No more football of a play 424 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: than kickoff. That's why every game starts with one. That's 425 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: exactly right, and it's still it's still I think when 426 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: they return it, it's still maybe the most physical play 427 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: in football. Would you say that it is the most 428 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: physical play still in football? Uh, it's definitely the most 429 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: high speed. I'm not going to say the most physical, 430 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: pretty physical right when you say high high impact, right 431 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: when you sigh when you say high speed, though, I 432 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: think of impact as well. Yeah, and are you still trashing? 433 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: You're able to trash dudes, I'd kickoff cover correct. Yeah, 434 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: but there's not the wedge anymore. I feel like the 435 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: wedge was just absolute. I know you. You had to 436 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: be the wedge buster. Yes, yes, that's what I did. Oh, 437 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. It's not nearly as brutal 438 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: as it was. But you could still use your eyes 439 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: and really host some dude, can't you. I mean, you 440 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: just absolutely some pretty big collisions. Well, and Dennis, I mean, 441 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: tell us about your love for the game of football, 442 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: because you you talked of a little bit about it 443 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: earlier today. When when you went to West Virginia State, 444 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: you weren't thinking NFL, Right, when you went to the 445 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: University as Sioux Falls, you weren't thinking NFL at least 446 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: at the big in that journey. So what was it 447 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: that drove you? Oh? I think from high school it 448 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: was kind of like if we're doing it like a relationship, 449 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: it's more of like an infatuation where you're kind of 450 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: in love with all the motions and kind of all 451 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: the glitz and the glamour and running fast and hitting 452 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: hard and doing those kind of things. But as you 453 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: kind of get to know football and you learn about 454 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: it and you can find how much better you can be, 455 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: and you're finding all these areas to improve and how 456 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: a film steady plays a part into you know, preparing 457 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: for a game and all that stuff. I just there's 458 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: so many different things to work on. I just I 459 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: love football and how it it takes every ounce of 460 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: your focus and there's nothing else going on except for 461 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: the man across from me. So yeah, I just love 462 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: that feeling and it's amazing. Well. Pat p today was 463 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: asked about Dennis Gardak and he cited, among other things, 464 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: just Dennis's love for the game. It doesn't matter where 465 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: you come from, you know, and if you have love 466 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: and passions for the game, you play with energy and 467 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: with a tenacity. Everything should take care of yourself. So 468 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: and Dennis pleased with those intangible So let me tell 469 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: that he's a he's a grinder, he's a dogs you know. 470 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: So it's hard to deny a guy that had that 471 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: type of character. You know. Andy Isabella told us a 472 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago here in the Big Red Rage, 473 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: Dennis that it took him a good part of his 474 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: rookie year to really have that supreme confidence that he belongs, 475 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: that he came from U mass and you know that 476 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: it was a confidence thing for him initially. Did you 477 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: ever go through that stage when you entered the NFL? Yeah, definitely. Uh, 478 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, even from rookie mini camp where I'm showing 479 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: up we're all technically in the same boat. But I 480 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: went to Sue Falls and everybody was a big ten 481 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: in Washington and all these big like I'll watch you 482 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: guys on TV. My games were streamed on a computer. Um, 483 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: So there's always kind of been that confidence thing of 484 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: like I do I really have what it takes. And 485 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: I think the biggest way for me to kind of 486 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: overcome that is to just lock into all right. This 487 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: week during film study, we knew this, this, this and 488 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: this I need to do this to be in good 489 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: position to make my play, and then it really shouldn't 490 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: matter who's across from me because I have all the 491 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: things that I need to do in mind. There's no 492 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: doubt about it, Dennis. I mean, honestly, you're thinking correctly 493 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: right now right Are you willing to give more than 494 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: your opponent? That is a question that I will ask you, Dennis. 495 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: Are you willing to give more than your opponent is 496 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: willing to give? Yeah? Definitely, And I think I think 497 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: that begins at the beginning of the week. That doesn't 498 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: That doesn't just mean on Sundays run harder. It means 499 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: that I did I do more throughout the week to 500 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: prepare for you who I'm lined up across. Well, Coach 501 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: Kingsbury has said your quote hell on wheels on the 502 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: scout team blowing up his offense during practice. So I 503 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: don't know what you're like You're like during the week 504 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: during practice, Dennis, but it definitely caught the attention to 505 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: the head coach. That is the one. Yeah, I love. 506 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and and look, we don't get 507 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: to see practice, but I can envision based on what 508 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: I just saw out there against the Jets with your 509 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: motor and non stop, and you know coach is trying 510 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: to run a few plays and he's got forty five 511 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: busting everything up in there.

Yeah. Well, 542 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: me and Chase have already had this discussion. We were 543 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: in off season training and you know there's obviously conversations 544 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: or do you think you could tackle me in the 545 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: open field? And I said, look, if you got the 546 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: ball in your hands, I'm gonna shoot my shot. Hopefully 547 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: it's to my leverage. Somebody else is there to clean 548 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: it up. I might get a hand on you. But 549 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: I think you just got to play as fast as 550 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: possible and make something happen quick. That way, you're not 551 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: on ESPN Top ten. All right, Dennis, listen, No, I 552 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: want to ask I want to get into Monday night 553 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: football here, but I got to ask you this rapid fire. 554 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: If you don't mind, let's rapid fire right here. Some 555 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: special teams questions. I want to clean this up from 556 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: the last beautiful part of the program. Your favorite special 557 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: team to play what is it? Kick off? Kickoff block? Okay, 558 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: why explain that? Look, they just got to sit there 559 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: and take it. And I love that that. I can 560 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: just run full speed into you. You just got to 561 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: sit there in two hand punch. That's a good That 562 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: is an excellent answer right there. Okay. The energy that 563 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: you bring. Is this something you talk to your teammates 564 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: about on special teams? Is this something that you, as 565 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: a captain you talk to these guys about, or is 566 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: it something they just know everybody in transition, everybody on 567 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: special teams expects. Yeah. I think it's just something that's 568 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: kind of understood. We're a pretty lively group and we're 569 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: always feeding off of each other. So okay, I don't 570 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: have the juice one place, somebody else and got it 571 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: and then I'm right there with him. Okay, So how 572 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: much do you lobby Jeff Rogers if you say, hey, coach, 573 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: you know what we can do this, pop this thing up, 574 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: we'll cover this Kike and we'll stuff him inside the fifteen. 575 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: How much do you get in Jeff Rogers face. I 576 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: think he's a great coach, so I let him do 577 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: his thing, but I do I nudge gently. I think 578 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: that would be kind of kind of the best way 579 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: to put it is just hey, you know, I was thinking, 580 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,719 Speaker 1: you know, we've already got two inside the twenty one 581 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: for a third, right, Well, we look at this money 582 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: night game and let's start it always starts was stopping 583 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: the run, right guys. And they have Ezekiel Elliott and 584 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: he's top five in touches twenty two touches a game 585 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: and without Dak Prescott. Now I'm guessing that's gonna go up. 586 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: So you need to figure out what do you do 587 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: as a defense if your advanced Joseph minus Chandler Jones, 588 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: and he said earlier today about Devon Conard's back practicing, 589 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: that might be an option as son Reddick, Dennis Gardeck. 590 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: You know Zach Allen can move out to the edge 591 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: at times of act. Here's a vance Joseph earlier today 592 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. And how number forty five, our guest, 593 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: Dennis Gardack figures in from day one in training camp. 594 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 1: You know two last week, what you saw last week, 595 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: that's what training camp look like. I mean, he just 596 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: rushed off the ash with speed and power and he's 597 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: made play. So hopefully he can get better and better 598 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: with more opportunities and help us, help us adds to 599 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: our patch rush Dennis, do you think whoever's out there 600 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: in that rotation the Cowboys are going to test you 601 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: guys early and often. Absolutely, it's going to be a 602 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 1: great test on Monday night. Talk a little bit about 603 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: their offense, Dennis, talk about what you're seeing on tape 604 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: right now. In regard to Andy Dalton, I know he 605 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: he only had eleven attempts after Doc Prescott went out, 606 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: of course with the disocated ankle, but he played pretty 607 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: well in the eleven at times. Yeah, that's a that's 608 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback, so you got to respect him. He's 609 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: been in the league a while. He definitely knows what 610 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: he's doing. Obviously, Zeke's gonna Zeke's gonna do his thing, 611 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: so we gotta we gotta make sure we can keep 612 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: him contained as well. How much you're looking forward to 613 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: the big stage Monday night, that stadium, everything that's going 614 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: to be part of the experience this coming Monday night. Yeah, 615 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna Like I said, it's gonna be awesome test 616 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: of you know, we kind of have been isolated in 617 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: these quarantine games and everything, and this is a Monday night, 618 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: so it's got a totally different feel to it. And 619 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: excited to see how the team responds. How does the 620 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: team feel right now? Being three and two on the season, right, Um, 621 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: you're coming off a win where everybody expected you to 622 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: beat the New York Jets, But the two weeks before that, 623 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: Dennis for the most part, against the Lions and against 624 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, there were a lot of people that thought, 625 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: you guys went out there and disappointed. How is it 626 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: going inside that locker room? How's it going in terms 627 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: of everyone's mental condition? Being three and two on the season, 628 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: I think everybody's got the right mindset. We were definitely 629 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: frustrated with the results the previous two weeks. But I 630 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: don't think it really got to anyone so much that 631 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to do too much or or you know, 632 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: trying to make something happened by themselves. Coach said, there's 633 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: no fourteen point play, so we just got to go 634 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: play our game once, not at a time. And it 635 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: seems like everybody's locked in, focused and excited for every opportunity. 636 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: How much do you keep in touch with your brother? 637 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: I'm thinking your phone probably blowed up right after you 638 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 1: had the two sad game, And I know your brother 639 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: plays minor league baseball, right Ian?

I'm showing me the 642 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: ropes of what the professional athlete life is like. Some 643 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 1: things translate, somethings do not translate from baseball to football. Yeah, sure, dentist, 644 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: do you want ten years? Do you want ten years 645 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: in this league? Absolutely?

I mean, do you allow yourself to think 649 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: about that? This is always fascinating to me, especially when 650 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: the guys in year three of his career, do you 651 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: allow yourself to think about what it is you want 652 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: to be when you're done playing ball? Oh yeah, I 653 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: actually do let myself kind of daydream a little bit. 654 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: I wanted to start within our own facility, so I 655 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: actually had a conversation the other day with the nutritionist 656 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: on how much it would be to be on their staff. 657 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: But my go to right now is athletic trainer.

Like 673 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: what do you actually know what you're saying right now? 674 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: Or do you are you just like a parrot and 675 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 1: you're repeating words that you've heard before. It's a mixture 676 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: of both. I'm not gonna lie, um, but that's what 677 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: that's what passes the time in the training room. Oh, mas, 678 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: Tom Reid and company asked you to leave the training room, 679 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: maybe become a nuisance at times, be honest. Oh, one 680 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: hundred percent. Yeah. I think I posted on my Instagram 681 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: and training camp they had me tied up with an 682 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,919 Speaker 1: ace bandage wrap.

No, I'm trying to absorb as much 686 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: information as I can and I think, uh, I think 687 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: I got the ability to do it, you know. Yeah, okay, right, 688 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: it's good once again. The tennis. I mean, I think 689 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking a code which maybe you know, maybe getting 690 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: in the front office or something like that. I didn't 691 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: think about what a trainer, dude, that's cool though. I 692 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: loved that. I think I'm a helper and I think 693 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: I think those training guys they do a great job 694 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: helping us. And uh, that's something I want to do someday. 695 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: I mean the podcasting an MVP vote during twenty and twenty, 696 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: the year of the pandemic. Tom Reid, Cardinals lead trainer 697 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: gets my MVP vote right now. Well, there you be 698 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: a Dennis.

I appreciate it. 700 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, all right, thanks days there you go, 701 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: Dennis Gardeck team Captain Pro Bowl alternative year ago on 702 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: special teams. We will come back and wrap up this 703 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: addition to the big red rage percent of by Santan 704 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert we are satan Ford not good job 705 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: right there? The Arizontle Cardinals rush for they played quarters 706 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: and wolf a guy just runs onto the field and 707 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: starts stripping and it gets drilled at the thirty five 708 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: yard line by a security guard. A cowboy fan I 709 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: think just ran out of the field, took a shirt off. 710 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: I think he was going for the drawers as well, 711 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: and then he got roasted at the thirty five yard 712 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: line by a security guard. Well that's the way you 713 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: knocked the screws off right there. That security guard sign 714 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: them off. They tackled them, and the fan did the 715 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: splits on the thirty five Did you see that. I 716 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 1: think he ripped his groin out. I think the security 717 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: guard might get a fine. That was against a defenseless receiver, 718 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: so to speak. Taken down anyway you can. Yeah, he's 719 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: whipping all right. Oh that was an all timer, great call, 720 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: all time moment. Not so good for the fan, the 721 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys fan, we should add, I'd say fifteen years on 722 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: the sideline. I've seen my share down there. Some guys 723 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: reached the field. It's the guys who do not reach 724 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: the field who get pummeled near the white stripe or beyond, 725 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: who decide to engage some of the security guys. Always 726 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: a bad move, trying to decide against that. Life is 727 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: all about decisions. Not only do you get wiped out PAULI, 728 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: but just the fact he did the splits, like media 729 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: and the bullets growing rip that thing right out. It's 730 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: the big Red rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert 731 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: And that's fitting because the Cardinals are playing the Cowboys. 732 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: They're playing on Monday Night. It's fitting because you know, 733 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: that's the good way Dennis Gardek plays. He was our 734 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: special guest and you got a Cardinals team going back 735 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: to Texas. Before we get into all that, let's hear 736 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: from Patrick Peterson and just his thoughts earlier today, and 737 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: he was asked about the big stage of Monday Night, 738 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: our first time on the national stage. It's going to 739 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: be a great outing for us to go out there 740 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: and to make sure that we performed at our best, 741 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: to put the world on notice that we are our 742 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: team that is here for real. You know that we 743 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: have a great team, a great coaching staff, and we 744 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: finally start to put together and I believe I'm just 745 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: gonna start helping us turn that corner as a team 746 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: once again. I don't think energy or intensity is going 747 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: to be an issue on Monday Night, right Wolf. I mean, 748 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: even to this day, Monday Night is, in the words 749 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: of Cliff Kingsbury, super extra for a locker room. No, 750 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: you're right, Polly about that. I think the energy definitely 751 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: is going to be there. It's not that ten am 752 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: body clock start. Either you don't have that going on. 753 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: And I just really like the fact the Arizona Cardinals 754 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: they came out with a ton of energy against the 755 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: New York Jets. Well that's exactly what I think they're 756 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: going to have to bring as well. This is something Polly, 757 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: especially without the fans, this is something I know you've 758 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: been talking about, but it's so true. You've got to 759 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,280 Speaker 1: create your own energy, right is it? You always say, Polly, 760 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: bring me Yoe, bring your own energy, bring your own energy. 761 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: And Polly, honestly, right now, this is what you've got 762 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: to do. You've got to bring that intensity to the field. 763 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 1: And it's the reason why I asked Dennis Gardeck. I 764 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: asked him, you guys talk about this, do you talk 765 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: about it? He listens, we've got to get ready to go, 766 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: and we've got to be ready to go from the 767 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: first snap. Get yourself ready to go. Paul, I remember 768 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: distinctly challenging guys, guys in the locker room, challenging each 769 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: other and saying some pretty nasty things to each other 770 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: as well, to get you ready for snap one. You 771 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: can't tell me that Cliff and Kyler aren't already ready 772 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: to go when they're going back home as guys who 773 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: grew up on Friday night lights, now they're on Monday 774 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: Night for the first time. Cliff and Kyler Wolf they 775 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: gotta have something super extra waiting for the Dallas Cowboys 776 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: in this one and Paula. Honestly, right now, I think 777 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: we're in store for something special on Monday Night with 778 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and this offense and Andy Dalton. Andy Dalton 779 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: a guy that is from Fort Worth, yep, are you 780 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,760 Speaker 1: kidding me? Well? Kyle has already won three state titles. 781 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: He's six and ozo in that building between high school 782 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: and college or Jim Alma Hunter and Cody Fincher, Ron 783 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 1: Wolf Lauball CALVC special Thanks to Dennis Gardak.
