So, Paully, 36 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: what exactly are you talking about? Because I actually had 37 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: the opportunity to meet Bernhard Psycho bits. Really there's a 38 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: name drop.

Psycho is what he prefers to 43 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: be called, right, not obviously in the terms of a 44 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: psycho path, but he goes by Psycho. That's what everybody 45 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: calls him. Of course, everybody he's been in the locker 46 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: room with, they call him Psycho. And that's what I'm 47 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: gonna call him tonight when we talk to him, not Bernhard, 48 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: I'm calling him Psycho. That's his nickname. That's what he 49 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: goes by, even in the locker room balling. Well, look, 50 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: you guys share one thing in common. It might be 51 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: the only thing, but it's a big thing, and it's 52 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: the reason you both play and played the game of football. 53 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: We'll get into that a little bit later. We do 54 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: know that one other definite directive from the top the GM, 55 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: Steve Kim, was to find guys who love the game 56 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: of football this offseason to the point where you know 57 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: what they're gonna bring, the leadership, they're gonna bring the 58 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: physicality and right out of the gates Wolf. Because you've 59 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: talked about it over and over again and I think 60 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: it's what all eyes are gonna be on when the 61 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: preseason starts, especially when the regular season starts in Tennessee 62 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: Week one. Steve Kim on that leadership that he hope 63 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: just permeates that entire locker room. Here's the GM two 64 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: of our offseason goals. I think that really stand out 65 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: to me was becoming more physical as a football team 66 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: and adding leadership to our locker room. And I think 67 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: that in many respects, I call itself policing your locker room, 68 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: which we can't go home with these guys at night. 69 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: We can't tell them how much tape to watch. They 70 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: have to do it on their own. They have to 71 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: have the passion and the want to. And those three editions, certainly, 72 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: in my opinion, have really raised the bar for us 73 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: in that respect. And he's talking about JJ Watt and 74 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,119 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson and AJ Green in particular, all three guards 75 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: guys part of that twenty eleven draft class. And to me, Wolf, 76 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: he's trying to change the DNA of this team from 77 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: the inside out. No, that is a great way of 78 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: putting it, Paully right there. It's all about your leaders 79 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: walking around and modeling what it is that you believe 80 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: in and how they play, how they go about their business, Paul, 81 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,119 Speaker 1: In the game of football, do you think knocking people 82 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: to the ground is a big deal? Do you think 83 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: that is big that checks a big box, Paully. Do 84 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: you think there are players that respect that when they 85 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: see another guy knock another man to the ground, right, 86 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 1: or whip another man physically, Whether you're running a route 87 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: and you do it in a physical way, aj Green, 88 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: whether you're line up and your JJ want and you 89 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: arm under, rip on somebody, get the edge, make a sack, 90 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: just physically whip somebody. Man. This game is about beating people. 91 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: It's about driving people into the ground. It still is, PAULI. 92 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: Even though it's not nearly as brutal as at once was. 93 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: This game is still about forcibly removing another man from 94 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. It will always be about that. 95 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: And when you do that, and when you do it well, Paul, 96 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: the respect level just goes up in the locker room tremendously. 97 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: And then that guy who's got all that cred, all 98 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: that respect, walks around and then challenges his teammates to 99 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: do the same thing. It's a mentality, Paul, that takes 100 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: over a locker room. And it's not just the addition 101 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: of a JJ Water, Rodney Hudson and AJ Green. It's 102 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: the addition of a Brian Winners, a Maller right card 103 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: his job to lose. It's the addition of a big back, 104 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: of bruising running back like James Connery two. And then 105 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: you have even a cornerback like Malcolm Butler. A quick anecdote, 106 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk with Rob Moore, former 107 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals greater receiver, now the receiver's coach for the Tennessee Titans. 108 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: What was the last team for Malcolm Butler? And where 109 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: is he coming from? Yeah, Tennessee, Paul and so there. 110 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: And as soon as I mentioned Malcolm Butler, Rob Moore said, oh, oh, 111 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: he'll fight you on every down, now, street rat, Yeah, 112 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: that was the way. That's by design, is it not? Wolf? 113 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: I mean, Steve conn went out and targeted these guys. 114 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: I guess my question is why what did he see? 115 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Obviously there are needs and wants every offseason, why did 116 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: he target this particular area right Bally, First of all, 117 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: let me just say I was answering your question rhetorically, 118 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: of course, right because I assume that's how you asked it. 119 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Right there was Tennessee indeed, of course. And let me 120 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: just say this right now that when you bring a 121 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: guy like Malcolm Butler in right now, Paul, you're you're 122 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: you're what do I call you? I call you the wolverine. 123 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: That's what I call you. Why do I call you that? 124 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: Because you don't want to back Paul KELVC to a 125 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: corner place the staff all right, I see him to 126 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: take a bottle over the head. Now listen, Paul, I'm 127 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: not going to talk about that right now. I'm just 128 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: saying there are guys. It doesn't matter what your size are, 129 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: what your size is, I should say, there are guys 130 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: that go out there on the field and they play 131 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: much bigger than their stature. Malcolm Butler is that guy. 132 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: He is a dog through and through. And Paulie, this 133 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: is what Steve kind clearly when you look at the 134 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: six names that you wrote down, here are there are 135 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: guys on this list. When you're talking about Malcolm Butler, 136 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: James Connor, Brian Winters, JJ Watt, Rodney Hudson, and AJ Green, 137 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: those guys are all dogs. And now you put him 138 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: in a locker room that has some notable dogs as well, 139 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: including guys like Marcus Golden and Chandler Jones. I expect 140 00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: really good things from this culture change, the physicality, the accountability, 141 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: that leadership. Buddha Baker was talking about the defense and 142 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: his quote this offseason was quote, we're able. We're now 143 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: able to hold each other accountable. Yeah, that's something that 144 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: guys haven't really done the past few years, hold each 145 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: other accountable. That's Buddha Baker, all Pro Safety talking about. 146 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: There was a need for that accountability. So yeah, that 147 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: sort of leadership. Yeah, that physicality, and when it comes 148 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: to the XS and os, I'm real curious, Well, if 149 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: what does this mean, for example, in the Cardinals run game. Yes, 150 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: for example, here's DJ Humphries when Sean Coogler was promoted 151 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: to run game coordinator. Right, and that was back in January. 152 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: Here's what the Cardinals left tackle had to say. I 153 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: know who Cooks is, and I know if he's involved, 154 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: I know we're gonna be downhill and we're gonna be 155 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: running that people, and we're gonna be physical because that's 156 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: just what he coached. That's that's who we are as 157 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: a unit. I'm so excited. Congratulations to him, super excited 158 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: for my guy Coops. So to what degree, and I've 159 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: said this for years, are the Cardinals about to hit 160 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: the big red rees? Said Button again, Wolf, And do 161 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: you expect the offense to look a little different, especially 162 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: that run game? I do, Polly, I do you know? Again, 163 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: it is going to be the biggest thing that I'm 164 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: looking for going into the regular season. I don't know 165 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: how much we're gonna see during preseason. Of course, only 166 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: three preseason games, and once again we know that Cliff 167 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Kingsbury likes to play it very close to the vest 168 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: and not tip his hand in any way, shape or form. 169 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: So I don't know if we're going to see it 170 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: in the preseason. But man, I am certainly interested in 171 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: how the Arizona Cardinals in rundown situation are going to 172 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: line up and whether or not with a guy like 173 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: James Connor who's two hundred and thirty two pounds, even 174 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds runs the ball very well in between the tackles. 175 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: To see them line up and actually try to hammer 176 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: the ball in between the tackles, that to me is 177 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: the biggest question I have going into training camp. How 178 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: often are you going to put Kyler Murray under center, 179 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: and what kind of play action game are you going 180 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: to tie into that off that hammering of the box. 181 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: We know he has a brand new center and Rodney Hudson. 182 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: The question on that offensive line is right guard. We 183 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: mentioned Brian Winners six four three, twenty and eight year 184 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: vet with the Jets in Buffalo most recently. You got 185 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: Justin Murray who's had seven starts a year ago at 186 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: thirteen starts twenty nineteen. Josh Jones, the rookie third rounder 187 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: yesterday from last year that is six seven three ten right, 188 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: four year starter at left tackle at Houston. He's in 189 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: the mix. Max Garcia is in the mix, but once again, 190 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: Brian Winners is the guy they target in free agency. 191 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: Here's the GM on the potential starting right guard. The 192 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: addition of Brian Winners excites me. He's a guy that 193 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: I've watched for years, dating back to Kent State when 194 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: he came out. Really physical player, smart, really good quickness 195 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: in a short area, and I think he does a 196 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: great job in pass protection. So he's a guy that 197 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: certainly will have a chance to compete. Not a lot 198 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: of position battles going into camp I'm thinking cornerback two perhaps, 199 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you have some different but right 200 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: guard is probably gonna be the biggest position battle I 201 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: would imagine going into camp. No, you're right about that, 202 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: Bally right guard right justin Murray. Of course, maybe Josh 203 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: Jones getting some reps at right guard as well, Brian Winners. 204 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Yeah, that's gonna be one of the 205 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: more hotly contested positions. Baali. And you know your point 206 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: about what will Cliff Kingsbury show in the preseason, because 207 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: year number one, twenty nineteen, he showed nothing and what 208 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: happened the first half of the first game was arguably 209 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: the worst half of offensive football the Cardinals have played 210 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: in the Cliff Kingsbury era against Detroit right they didn't 211 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: have a preseason last year. And remember on the Coaches 212 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: Show he said as much that he regretted and perhaps 213 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: learned a lesson. So I'm wondering how much more they 214 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: do show this August in the three preseason games about it. 215 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta line up and just be better than 216 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: your opponent. Paul, will we come back. We're gonna line 217 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: up and unleash mandatory Psycho bernhard'sych of. It's next on 218 00:11:53,400 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage. How did you get into football? Well? 219 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: What was that process like? If if you getting introduced 220 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: to the sport as a kid coming from Europe, every 221 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: young kid starts with soccer, but I never really enjoyed 222 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: it a lot. What I like most about football is 223 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: like the physicality and you can do stuff you can 224 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: really not do in real life, Like you can hit 225 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: people and you can lose your mind. Basically, I don't 226 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: know that really excites me and I couldn't find it 227 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: in soccer. Well, if there you go. That's the answer 228 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: to the question we pose in the first segment here 229 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: and the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. 230 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: What do you four time Special Team Pro Bowler and 231 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: Wedgebuster have in comment with Bernhard's psyche it's one of 232 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: the newest Arizona Cardinals and if nothing else, mentality and mindset, physicality, Polly, 233 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: that's what we have, Ding Ding Ding when her chickened 234 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: and her yeah, I mean there's no way he could 235 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: have continued to be a quarterback over in Europe. You know, 236 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: good thing he changed positions. We can't answer. It's all 237 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: about you presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert and when 238 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: no further ado Bernhard's psychists joins us on the big 239 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: red rate. Bernard, how are we doing tonight? That's so guys, 240 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm great. How are you doing great? Now? Is it 241 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: okay if I call you Psycho? Because I've met you, right, 242 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: I've met you, and I hope you remember meeting me 243 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: in the conversation that we had. I am the color 244 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: analyst for the Arizona Cardinals, and I hope it's okay 245 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: if I call you Psycho? Is that all right? Bernhard? 246 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: Of course yes, I remember the meeting. You told me 247 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: the first thing you told miss that you love playing chickoff. 248 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: It was it was so liberating. If you can imagine 249 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: Psycho running down the field and there were four men 250 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: that were three hundred pounds the size of Saturn's third moon, 251 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: and you had to take two of those men out 252 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: to the wedge. Is no longer allowed in the game 253 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: of football. And that is what I did for ten years. 254 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: And Buddy, I gotta tell you, I think you would 255 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: have been really really good at sticking your face onto 256 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: a man's sternum and breaking it. I'll tell you what 257 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: I tell you what he remembers. That's his first takeaway. Wolf. 258 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: His other takeaway, I guaranteed is who's the guy with 259 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: a pro wrestler voice? That's that's his other takeaway. Right, 260 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm talking to a guy. Now, wait a bit of ball. 261 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I've got to ask you this right 262 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: off the top two? What is the best food in Austria? Oh, 263 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: the best food. I gotta go with the schnitzel. Oh, 264 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: I think it's also something you know, Yes, the schnitzel. Okay, 265 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: that to be right there, I'd have to go to Vienna, 266 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: all right, in order to get the best with the 267 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: last name like wolf Ley and your German heritage. I mean, 268 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's all about the schnitzel with the wolf. 269 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: Let let's just put it that way. What are you 270 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: missing the most from Austria in the homeland, Bernhard? What 271 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: are you missing the most being here in Arizona? Um? 272 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: First off, I really felt really welcomed at the Cardinals, 273 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: and everybody took great care of me. So it was 274 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: a really smooth transition for me. Um. Even um, even 275 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: though I don't have family or any friends are new 276 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: from before over here. Um. But to be honest the most, 277 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Like the biggest thing I miss is the family of course, 278 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: like missing seeing them all the time and my granddad 279 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: and all that. Um. Um. So I'm really looking forward 280 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: going back home for for like short two weeks before 281 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: I come back again. Um. But to be honest them, 282 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: it's been pretty good over here, so I haven't been 283 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: homesick or anything. So how is it going for you 284 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: here your experience in the National Football League? How's it going? Um, 285 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: It's going pretty pretty good, um, I believe. I mean 286 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: we're practicing hard every day, um um, putting everything in 287 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: we have. Um. Um. The transition so far has been 288 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: really smooth. As I said, um Um, I came in 289 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: and I thought it would be a little bit more 290 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: up temple, but I guess the okas this year are 291 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: um I don't know how to say it, but like 292 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: we only had helmets on and stuff like that, so um, 293 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't too taxing on the body. Um. But I 294 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: guess for a rookie that's good because you can kind 295 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: of smooth in there. But yeah, it's it's been pretty good. Um. 296 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm still trying to meet everybody at the facility, which 297 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: is pretty hard for me. Remembering all the names and stuff. Um, 298 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna get there. The last time he met 299 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: the media, and we're on board with Bernhard's Psyche it's 300 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: newest Arizona Cardinals. Tight end. You were still in quarantine 301 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: in a hotel room. You had just arrived from Europe. 302 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: So what have you learned so far about the NFL 303 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: that perhaps you didn't know? Um? I mean I came 304 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: in prepared to kind of this business monster the NFL, 305 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: like the cup throat style, but I've I've as I said, 306 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: I walked into a facility everybody welcome with open arms, 307 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: so I didn't really feel any of that. Um. It's 308 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: it's honestly, it's just been a great experience and I 309 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: have fun every day I walk in there and get 310 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: to work. And that's also really rewarding because all the 311 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: time playing in Europe and like not getting anything out 312 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: of the sport except for playing the sport that you 313 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: love with your friends. But now you even get like 314 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: like a reward, like actual money reward, which is really 315 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: cool for me. M Yeah, that's probably the biggest change 316 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: for me. Psycho are you Are you honestly a celebrity 317 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: over in Austria? Right, I mean, how many guys are 318 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: playing in the National Football League, How many guys actually 319 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to play in the National Football League 320 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: walking around Austria, do do your friends know that? How 321 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: big of a deal is that? I mean, I don't 322 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: want to say it's like a really big deal, but 323 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: of course, like the football community in Austria which is 324 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: growing every day, I guess everybody knows about it, and 325 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: people are really intrigued by it, especially the young players 326 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: that I've even coached at the Vikings and all the 327 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: other teams are really like happy for me and into it, 328 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: because that's everybody's dream, even if you grow up in Austria. 329 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: Of course it seems so far away. But if if, 330 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: even if only if one guy makes it, or like 331 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: gets a chance in the NFL to make it, that 332 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: fuels a lot of young kids all went off to 333 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: in Europe. I've been talking to kids from Germany, from Swiss. 334 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people people reached out to me, 335 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's just really humbling to see what kind 336 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: of like effect you have on young people back home. 337 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: Very cool Bernhard's side. If it's our guests from the 338 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: International Pathway Program on the Cardinals roster competing for a 339 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: spot and Wolf. To answer your question, just go ahead 340 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: and go to Twitter and check the hashtag German bird Gang, 341 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: Okay or Vienna Vikings. I mean, yeah, he's a big deal, 342 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Going back to how you got 343 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: into football, you said, if I saw this correctly, you 344 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: fell in love with football after your first Oklahoma drill. 345 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: Is that accurate? Yes, that's accurate. I mean I'm back 346 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: in the days in Vienna. The coaches used to be 347 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: pretty old school, I would say, so the first thing 348 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: the rookies would do is like tackling drills and one 349 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: really big tackling drillers of course, the Oklahoma drill. And 350 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: still to this state, I always see the young guys, 351 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: the under ten guys doing tackling drews and Oklahoma drews, 352 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: and yeah, like the first d it I felt weird 353 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: at the first, but I don't know, I kind of 354 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: enjoyed it, and yeah, that's what made me stick to 355 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: the sport. So Psycho, I was a fullback for ten 356 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: years in the National Football League, a blocking fullback. They 357 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: did not give me the ball. I had twenty three 358 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: receptions in ten years. If you can imagine that twenty 359 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: three in ten years. So those are all checked out. 360 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: Knock it off, Paul, it was not they hit me 361 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: in the flat on multiple occasions. Okay, UM, how many 362 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: times would you like to be put into a three 363 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: point stance in the I formation? I'll ask you that, 364 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: would you are you are they putting you in that? 365 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Or would you like to be put at that? Um? 366 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: As of right now, I have not been put in that, 367 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: but I will, of course do whatever coach asks for me. 368 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of any challenge. I think, Um, if 369 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: it helps you to you, of course I would do that. Um. 370 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: But I also think that I have upsides in the 371 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: catching game, of course, passing game. Um. But yeah, I 372 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: just enjoyed playing the sport. I've played numerous positions growing up, 373 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: and I've enjoyed every one of them. So I don't 374 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: think it would be a problem for me. Okay, Psycho 375 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: on that note right there, would rather catch a touchdown 376 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: pass or knock somebody on their butt? I think I 377 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: think those are pretty much on the same level. Um. 378 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 1: Like I really enjoyed like the physical physicality of the game. Yes, um, 379 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: and when you just man handle another guy that is 380 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: a grown up man just like you are. That's that's 381 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: a really great feeling. But also, um, running away from 382 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: someone or choking someone else to catch to touch some 383 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: it's also a really vorting feeling for me. That's a 384 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: good answer right there. We'll see Wolf had a regroup 385 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: with another question because he failed yet again to put 386 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: a fullback into Cliff Kingsbury's offense, so he had to 387 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: change directions and call an audible right there. You know, 388 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: when you met the media initially, you said that you 389 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: felt like you're ready to compete at this level. Have 390 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: you proved? Has that proven? Have you seen from what 391 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: you've seen? How confident are you you can compete when 392 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: training camp comes around? Um? So, of course, growing up overseas, UM, 393 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: I never watched the NFL game live, so I could 394 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: never or college games, so I could never see how 395 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: big the buddies really are or how fast they move. Um. 396 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: So the biggest thing for me coming over here, the 397 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: first thing I wanted to see for myself is how 398 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: big are they? How fast are they? U? And even 399 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: as I said, we didn't do any like we just 400 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: had helmets on, so we didn't go head to head 401 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: or like man on man blocking or any of this. 402 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: But seeing that from the physical standpoint, I'm right with 403 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: those guys gave me confidence in myself. So now it's just, um, 404 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: can I play better football than those guys? Um? Can 405 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: I learn the playbook faster? And yeah, especially things like 406 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: learning the playbook? I think that's one hundred percent on me. 407 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: So if I really study my playbook, which I am, UM, 408 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: I think I can show the coaches that I'm a 409 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: fast learner. And UM, I hope they start trusting me 410 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: more and more. And who knows what happens after this. Um, 411 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: how do you say I'm going to kick your butt 412 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: in German? How do you say that? Do you know 413 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: how to do that? Psycho? I mean yeah, it would 414 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: be created at the end in ash. I don't know 415 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: what you said, but I like, yeah, well it sounds 416 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: like you just change one letter at the end of 417 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: that three letter work. That's what you just How Psycho, 418 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: how is the playbook and learning the offense? How is 419 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: it coming to you? Is it? Is it easier than 420 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: you thought it was going to be? Um? No, it's not. 421 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: I mean I expected I expected the worst, of course, Um. 422 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: Coming from Europe, always here the exotic playbooks and how 423 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: many players you have? UM. But UM, Lucky for me, UM, 424 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: we ran a similar UM like scheme back in Vienna, 425 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: also like spread offense no hutle offense. So I'm so 426 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm used to a lot of UM, a lot of 427 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: the thinking behind the playbook. UM. Of course it's all 428 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: new words and how we call stuff and UM and 429 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: all that, but UM, the general idea behind UM the 430 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: scheme is pretty similar. So I guess that helped me. UM. So, 431 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: so it's going pretty good. I would sorry. In fact, 432 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: Drew Grigson was on director of player Personnel here on 433 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage recently, and I think the question 434 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: let's find out was indeed about you and your ability 435 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: to pick things up in the playbook rolling bernhardake it. 436 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: I've been impressed with him already, just with him picking 437 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: up what we've thrown at him so far. He hasn't 438 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: been swimming in it. I thought that's where he would 439 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: be at this point. And you know, with that allocation, 440 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: we may again lucky with that one. There you go, 441 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: that's a nice compliment coming from one of the decision 442 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: makers right there. And I know you told the media 443 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: maybe it was the German media that you do have 444 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: a chip on your shoulder. A lot of guys come 445 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: in a chip on their shoulder for various reasons, you know, 446 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: their draft status, what have you. Even Tom Brady still 447 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: has that chip on his shoulder pad right from being 448 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: a six round pick. And to you, it was sort 449 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: of that international angle, right that in your words you said, 450 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: and you can elaborate on this, you know, hey, for 451 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: the most part, no one thinks I can play football 452 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: because I'm coming from Austria. Is there some accuracy to that? 453 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: That's exactly how it's still a few But no offense 454 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: to any of the coaches over here, of course. I 455 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: mean if I would be in their shoes, I would 456 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: probably few of the same because they have never been 457 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: in contact with football in auster or even an auster 458 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: and football player, So how would they know that we 459 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: actually played football over there in Austere. But um, yeah, 460 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean, as I said, every day I come in, UM, 461 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: I try to make the best of it and I 462 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: try to prove that I'm um not just another guy 463 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: or um not just the international guy um that is here. 464 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to prove that I, um actually can't play. 465 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: So it'sycho. What is Salzburg like sis Book? Yes, Um 466 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: Sizbook is a really nice um. It's it's it's not 467 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: not as big as Vienna Um not not not as 468 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: many people there, but it's a really historic place. A 469 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: lot of old like houses and um Um palace. You 470 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: could say, I guess like Villa's fortress, a really big 471 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: ski resort. They got a fortress there, a castle there somewhere. 472 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: A lot of castles in austri and general are almost 473 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: every like hill there's castle, So you could since you 474 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: can really start getting into all the medieval time and 475 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: trying to think high wall aspect, then let's just say 476 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: Wolf is really excited if the NFL plays international games 477 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: in Germany and the Cardinals are in one of those games. Yeah, 478 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: is there one guy who's really last question, real quick, 479 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: one guy has really impressed you, Bernhard, one guy like man, 480 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: whether it's J. J. Watt or Kyler Murray, is there 481 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: this one guy You're like, Wow, Okay, that's the NFL. Um. 482 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: Of course, when I first saw J. J. Watt, I 483 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: was impressed by his cusique, but more in my position, 484 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm really impressed by Max, Like how detailed he knows everything. 485 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: Like for us Rucaus, it's like when we talk over stuff, 486 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: it like we have to think about it a little 487 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: bit and then we come up with the right answer 488 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: most of the time. But for him it's like shooting 489 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: out of the pistol. So um, I kind of set 490 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: my benchmark there to like, that's how I went on 491 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: all the playbook and um. And Max Williams is a 492 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: big time guy to emulate, no doubt about. Thank you 493 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: back right after this on the Big Red Rage. All right, 494 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: thank you guys, thank you. Second down and ten back 495 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: to throw flack oh sacked by guardack. Oh, my goodness, 496 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: what a move by Dennis Gardak. The barbarian came inside hair, 497 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: flying blacko in the pocket, gonna get hit and sack 498 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: Dennis Gardak got him again. And then Dennis Gardak doing 499 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: an interesting sack dance where he just kind of bounced 500 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: back and forth on his feet with his hands out, 501 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: palms up. I don't know what he was asking for. 502 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: What is good? Guard Dennis Gardak got up and did 503 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: a little barbarian dance around the fire as one of 504 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: the two popular sack dances he had. One was titled 505 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: hit the Strobe so there was, there was I'm trying 506 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: to remember the other one. Um, but you know, seven 507 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: sacks in ninety three defensive snaps. I mean, think about 508 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: that production. It's just a good ball absurd. It is 509 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: a big red rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. 510 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: We are santan Ford special thanks to Bernhard's psychovits. How 511 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: about that? That was outstanding on so many levels. Wolf. 512 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: How about the news that the Oklahoma drill is alive 513 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: and well in Europe? How about that? Yeah, not a surprise, 514 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: right there, Paulie. Honestly, you line up and see who's 515 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: the better man on any given play. Let me tell you, 516 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: it is a tribal thing to do. It truly is 517 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: the most intense part of practice you'll ever see or 518 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: ever come across. And after three months here in Arizona, 519 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: he's an official resident because he survived one eighteen and 520 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: he survived what six straight days of one fifteen plus, 521 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: so boom, he's officially a resident of the az So 522 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing what he brings in camp, especially 523 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: when they put on the pads and we'll see how 524 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: he holds up at the point of attack. No surprise 525 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: that he's been oppressed by Max Williams, who's able to 526 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: excel one of those duel tight ends. And then how 527 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: could you not be impressed by what Dennis Gardeck did 528 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: a year ago. The only reason he got into that 529 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: Jets game Wolf was because it was a dire emergency. 530 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: There was Chandler Jones in the sideline. I vividly remember 531 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium, eighty thousand seats all empty. We're on the 532 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: mezzanine level, and you could hear this sideline better than 533 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: you could in a regular game when you're standing on 534 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: the sideline. It was just it was And then there's 535 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: Chandler with a torn biceps tendon and Guardeck. No one 536 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: truly knew what was going to happen. Give me your 537 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: take as you look back now on what he was 538 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: able to accomplish last year rushing the past. Well, Paula, 539 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: you've already said it right there. I mean the fact 540 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: he had seven sacks and ninety three snaps, that is 541 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: just a ridiculous ratio right there. I that's got to 542 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: be Lawrence Taylor's stuff. And yet here's a guy that 543 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: does it completely different than Lawrence Taylor did it. Because 544 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: he's a motor guy. That's what he is. He's a 545 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: guy that is an effort guy, a guy that plays 546 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: very very well in transition on special teams, special teams 547 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: captain of course for the Arizona Cardinals. But you know what, listen, 548 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: he's just a guy that you can bring in and 549 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: get some quality snaps from and that is fantastic. I 550 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: love the fact that Dennis Gardeck is going to be 551 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: part of this team going forward. He ended up second 552 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: in sacks on the Cardinals defense. Think about that. And 553 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: that's despite missing the last two games. Because remember the 554 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: bad news was Week fifteen against Eagles. Down goes Guardeck 555 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: with a torn ACL and he's been rehabbing big time. 556 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: In fact, you go to Acy Cardinals dot com and 557 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: or Darren Rman, he talked with Guardek and got the latest. Now, look, 558 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: he tore an ACL in high school, So good news, 559 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: bad news. Yeah, he retour it. But the good news 560 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: is he's been through it and so he thinks he's 561 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: on track. It's still uncertain exactly when or whether he'll 562 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: be on POP to start the season. Of fact, Cliff 563 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: Kingsbury asked about guardex timetable Dennis I wouldn't put anything 564 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: past Innis. I mean, he looks great, sound like he's 565 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: ahead of schedule by all accounts, and so we'll see 566 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: how he feels going into training camp. But if he's 567 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: not ready for the start, I would expect him to 568 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: be ready soon thereafter. And we know how the Cardinals 569 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: feel about him. They gave him a second round tender, 570 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: so he's gonna earn two million plus this year. He 571 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: was a restricted free agent. But we'll think about it. 572 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: Think about that Cardinals pass rush hit zoom out. Yeah, 573 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: you have Chandler Jones coming back from the torn by 574 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: j R. JJ Watt, I mean, Marcus Golden. And then 575 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: if Dennis Gardeck is actually available and he's anywhere near 576 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: as effective as last year, Yeah, pretty stout pass rush 577 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: I got. I gotta throw in Chandler Jones of course, 578 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: JJ Watt, Jordan Phillips, I gotta throw Jordan Phillips in there, 579 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: and Marcus Golden. Those four guys right there, um, light 580 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: up and get to the Q man, get home to 581 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback right there, and then you throw in guys 582 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: like Dennis Gardeck. No doubt about that. Balsam effort. Guys 583 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: right there I'm really excited about it. When you think 584 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: that the Arizona Cardinals were number five in sacks per attempt, 585 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: it's a much better way to quantify what kind of 586 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: pressure you're actually getting on a quarterback sacks per attempt. 587 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: And to think there were number five in the National 588 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: Football League without Chandler Jones staggering, Jordan Phillips getting hurt 589 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: as well, it just, honestly, Paul, that number, to me 590 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,959 Speaker 1: is really really encouraging, and hopefully they can do a 591 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: better job with their rush defense, do a better job 592 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: with the in the box bringing up third and obvious 593 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: pass situations, third and seven, third and eight, third and ten, 594 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: because you're shutting it down, you're shutting down the run, 595 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: You're doing a good job and rundown situations. You're getting 596 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: to those third and obvious pass situations and then you 597 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: can let the dogs eat your Cliff Kingsbury, your defensive coordinator, 598 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: Advanced Joseph. You're going into camp just over a month away. 599 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: What are some of the big questions you want answered 600 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: on defense? And keep in mind the GM Steve Kime 601 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: is allocated nearly one hundred five five million in cap 602 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: space to the defense, which is the fifth most on 603 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: that side of the ball in the NFL. So it's 604 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: been a point of emphasis and the investment has been 605 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: there in terms of salary cap dollars. My question you is, 606 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: what do you think the coaches want an answer to 607 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: by the time they're done with camp. You tell me 608 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: how those inside linebackers are going to play, Polly right now, 609 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: you tell me Osavian Collins and Isaiah Simmons are going 610 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: to play, not only physically, of course, going about their 611 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: business playing inside linebacker. Paul would just say, that's a 612 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: physical position in the National Football League. If it isn't, 613 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: you're in trouble. Yeah, put your mouthguard in and you 614 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: better have all four buckles buckled up, because it is 615 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: going to hurt playing inside linebacker and the National Football League, 616 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: it's a very physical position. The only thing that pals 617 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: to that is the mental side of playing inside linebacker 618 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. It's even more intense than 619 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: the physicality. You've got to know exactly what you're doing. 620 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 1: You've got a not only defenses in the responsibilities of 621 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: other guys that line up in the box, but you 622 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: also have to have all the checks. What happens if 623 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: formation strength changes, what happens if they're in this personnel group. 624 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: It's all game plan and you've got to know the 625 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: checks that come with it, Paul, And a lot of 626 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: times those happen. Oh boy, here comes jet motion. It 627 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: happens quickly and you've got to be able to call 628 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: it out for everybody. So is that realistic? I mean, 629 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: should our boxers, should our collective boxers be bunging right now? No? 630 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: I was bunging last year about Isaiah Simmons playing in 631 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: the box as a week side inside linebacker and trying 632 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: to move them all over. Let's put them all over 633 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: the play. Now, they did move them over, but it 634 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 1: was in selective plays. It wasn't like they were putting 635 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: it moving them all all over the place so we 636 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: could make all sorts of plays. PAULI. Yeah, of course 637 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: there's going to be a learning experience for Zaven Collins here. 638 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: There's going to be a learning curve. Man. But you 639 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: know what, Hey, sometimes you just got to throw dudes 640 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: into the fire and see how they come out of it. 641 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: You know what gives me solace, You know what gives 642 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: me confidences? Advanced Joseph has been through this to a 643 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: large degree when he was on the Niners defensive staff, 644 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: when they had Patrick Wilson, Navarro Bowman's and when Patrick 645 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: Guilis was that rookie and he started from day one, 646 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,919 Speaker 1: just like Zavan Collins's schedule to start. So at least 647 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: you have a defensive coordinator who's been there and done that. 648 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: And based on what Van Joseph told us recently on 649 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage, he's going to simplify things accordingly. Right, Yes, no, absolutely, boy, 650 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: I think you're right about that. That is an astute 651 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: observation in a great comparison as well, that being the 652 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: forty nine ers and Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman. I 653 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: think the same dynamic to some degree exists here. My 654 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: second question will be about that defense will be the 655 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: corner position and that secondary in general, Paulie, how did 656 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: those corners come together? Right, We've got some X would prospects. 657 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: If Robert Alford, of course, if Byron Murphy playing on 658 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: the slot, Malcolm Butler the dog, how's he going to play? 659 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: And how are they going to come together? And mention 660 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: that secondary, that's my second question, as once again Vance 661 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: Joseph would love to put his two corners on an Island, 662 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: then dial up the other nine guys. Right, but but 663 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: Kenny Willie, will he have that ability with a Malcolm 664 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: Butler and Robert Alford, or perhaps if Byron Murphy or 665 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: one of the young guys, the Tay Gallen's or Marco 666 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: Wilson's make a run and get some playing time. We'll 667 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: see Cardinals last year finished number twelve in the NFL 668 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: and points allowed per game, see if they can get 669 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: into that top ten. We'll continue with a Big Red 670 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. Right after this, 671 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: are you ready for the n Yes, jaj want signed 672 00:37:54,480 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals. Yes, let's just say that video went viral. 673 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,399 Speaker 1: A couple of Cardinal fans, mom with her young fan 674 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: right there and forming her him of the news that 675 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: the Cardinals had inked jj Watt. Once the tweet came 676 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: out from jj watt the official account, we realized it 677 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: wasn't some sort of photoshop, that it was legit and 678 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: you know what, channeling the reaction from basically every member 679 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: of the Red Sea that jj Watt is on board. 680 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: As we wrapped this edition of the Big Red Rage 681 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert, we are Santa Ford, 682 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: Paul calBC, Ron Wolfley and wolf It was impressive to 683 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: watch JJ Watt. I know it's mini camp. I know 684 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: they have on shorts and helmets and no shoulder pads. 685 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: But you're looking for leadership, you got leadership. He was 686 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: a guy who led off every single drill. He's very vocal, 687 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: he's bringing tons of energy, he's setting the tone. So 688 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,439 Speaker 1: so far, so good. I'm what the Cardinals have seen 689 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: out of many camps. One of the things I've really 690 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: appreciated about JJ Watt and just listening to JJ Watt Pauly, 691 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: is his willingness to walk up to teammates and challenge 692 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: them and question them, what are you doing Guys that 693 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: you stare down, so to speak, Guys that you know 694 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: can help you win games, and if in fact they're 695 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: not doing what they should be doing. The accountability inside 696 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: a locker room is so important. Paul, Just stop and 697 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: think about how important that is that you got teammates 698 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: that care enough about you. And this is one of 699 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: the fascinating things about listening to JJ Watt talking about 700 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: his approach getting to know each and every guy and 701 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: getting to know what makes him tick. So what so 702 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: we could walk up on them and do it out 703 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: of love and yet be stern and let them know, 704 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep you accountable. I'm going to keep 705 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: myself accountable first, and I'm going to keep you accountable 706 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: as well. To me, that is one of them most 707 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: impressive things about JJ Watt and what Buddha Baker tell 708 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: us on the Big Red Rage recently, right, that's exactly 709 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 1: what he's been doing. He's been asking some of the 710 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: other team leaders, Okay, tell me about this guy, tell 711 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: me about that guy. And yes, he's trying to get 712 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: to know these guys inside out. So to your point, 713 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: on game day or and that that moment where the 714 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: game's on the line, he knows how to motivate or 715 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: how to talk to another guy. And you know what 716 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: Paul just said, though I got to interrupt you. What 717 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,280 Speaker 1: you just said, you brought up Buddha Baker, right, yeah, think, okay, 718 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: think about Buddha Paul. Is Buddha Baker the biggest player 719 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: on the field, far from it, Far from it, Paul, 720 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 1: And yet he is an absolute man when he plays 721 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: this game. So do you think his profile in the 722 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: locker room is a big profile? Yes, is the answer. 723 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 1: To that. And because of that, I look at Buddha Baker. 724 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: Everyone watches Buddha go about his business knowing he's not 725 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: the biggest guy, yet he plays ten times his size. 726 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: His shadow was massive on the gridiron. That's the kind 727 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: of respect. So now, if Buddha Baker, by way of example, 728 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: walks up on you and says, what are you doing? 729 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: Do you think that's going to have an impact on 730 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 1: you as a person. It better because if it doesn't, 731 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna be out of that locker room as it goes. 732 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: If you want to know Buddha's value to the Cardinals defense, 733 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: just go back and queue up the game film from 734 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: Week four at Carolina last year, and that was the 735 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: worst defensive performance by the Cardinals d all season long, 736 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: and they look lost without Buddha Baker. As for that 737 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: defensive line, Wolf, we know it's imperative. Hello, you opened 738 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,280 Speaker 1: against Derrick Henry and in week two you get Dalvin Cook, 739 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 1: you get Mike Vrabel and Mike Zimmer to very physical 740 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: mindset type of coaches. They're gonna come right at you, 741 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: and it starts with stopping the run. We know that 742 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury was asked how he likes the looks of 743 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: his D line room, the addition of JJ, the young 744 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: guys who drafted last years, signing Jordan Phillips. We really 745 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: like where it's at. I think with Coach Buck and 746 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: what he brings the table where those young guys makesten 747 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: with some bets who've had a ten of success in 748 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: this league, it's going to be a great run. The 749 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: young guys, primarily being Lucky Foe two or Shard Lawrence, 750 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: who both definitely stood out during minni cams. Zach Allen, 751 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Zach Allen was getting a lot 752 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: of props from Jordan Phillips as they were going through. 753 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm curious. He had the unbelievable game Week fifteen against Philly, 754 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: you know, the eleven tackles and he had done things 755 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: that only the elite guys had done in a single 756 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: game for defensive lineman in NFL history. We'll see if 757 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: he can be a little more consistent this year. But overall, Wolf, 758 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: how do you like the looks of the depth chart 759 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: at D line? Yeah? No, I like it, PAULI I 760 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: really do. I'm glad you brought up Zach Gallen because 761 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: once again I think a guy playing a five technique 762 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: which is over an offensive tackle. Whether it's the left 763 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: offensive tackle right right offensive tackle, really doesn't matter. I 764 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: like him as the five technique out there. He plays 765 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: very very well. I think the defensive line is going 766 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: to be tested. I'm glad you brought up the first 767 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: two games, the Tennessee Titans and the Minnesota Vikings, two 768 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: very similar offenses, Paulie, two offenses that are built on 769 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: running the ball in between the tackles or using play 770 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: action to throw the ball. They do with Tennessee, by 771 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: way of example, is probably better than anybody in the 772 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: league in regard to play action passes, even better than 773 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and their tackle 774 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: zone scheme. They're gonna line up Derek Henry, They're gonna 775 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: run him downhill. He's gonna try to run your face 776 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,359 Speaker 1: over behind a very physical offensive line. When you hear 777 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: Steve Kime talking about we've got to get more physical 778 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: and we need better leadership in the locker room, think 779 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: of Week one and the Tennessee Titans, because that is 780 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: going to test them, especially being on the road. And 781 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 1: then the Minnesota Vikings, once again, two very similar offenses 782 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: that are predicated on hammering the box and then throwing 783 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: the ball over the middle of the field and taking 784 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: some shots down field. Because of that rushing attack, and 785 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: guess what, especially against Tennessee, it's not so easy now 786 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 1: to load the box and put eight in the box 787 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: when they just added Julio Jones. I mean, think about that. 788 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: So it's imperative that your front seven can stand on 789 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: their own and stop the run because the moment you 790 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: start loading the box, Ryan Tannahill to your point play action, Now, boom, 791 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: They're going down the seams and over the top to 792 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 1: the likes of their two big weapons. Who are you 793 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: going to single up? That's the question, right, who are 794 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 1: you going to single up? In man cover? I don't know, Man, 795 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: you gotta put seven guys in the box and fight 796 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: for your life. Right by the way. That Week two 797 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: game against the Vikings the home opener.
