Paul? What are you talking about? Is that 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.800 really you Wolf? Because we all know you went viral. 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.240 I mean, dude went coast to coast last week on 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.240 NFL networks. So I just want to make sure they're 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:31.600 still on our air. You're still in our booth. Maybe 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.800 you jump ship and we're gonna find you with a 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.640 Monday night football crew in town, you know, as you 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.160 most of your way down to the national TV booth. 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.840 I don't know. Okay, you just want to make sure Wolf, 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.120 because I mean, I couldn't pick up Twitter without seeing 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.000 your name being splashed everywhere. Somebody just passed me the 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.080 protective cup. Please and let me slide that thing in. Paul, 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.240 just stop it. Oh my goodness, you know what. It's 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.320 a national broadcast. Paul, I didn't even know it was 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.240 a national broadcast until the third quarter. We're past, said 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.040 to me, Well, in a break, he said, hey, do 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.520 you know that we're this is a national broadcast? I 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.600 said what. I didn't even know that. Yeah, until your 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.120 phone died because it was going off every other second. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.120 So as uh, you got quite a bit of attention. 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.800 So that's good. That's good. Wal. I had general managers 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.960 general managers like kidding plural actually texting me going to 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.960 you guys are audio. It was pretty funny. I gotta 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.360 tell you that is good. That's that's a good humble brag. 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.120 By the way, it's a nice flex right off the top, 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:36.080 So we're looking for it is the Big Bride Paul Interview. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:41.440 Of fact, we're bringing in were roast partner and cohort 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.560 and crime Dave Pash will join us in the very 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.280 next segment as we welcome in Christian Kirk. How about 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.440 that name dropping here is Christian Kirk, the Cardinals receiver, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.200 will join us. Wait a minute, are you telling me 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.560 right now that Dave Pass actually did the Christian Kirk 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:59.200 interview with you, Dave Pash and yours truly? Oh, I 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.000 see how it goes right there. Somehow you couldn't make 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:07.840 it worked with me, Pash. Well, he's got the podcast now, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.639 so you know, we had to get the cross promotion 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.640 in and we benefit accordingly. We bring in Dave and 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.360 he was hanging with the Monday Night Football the ESPN 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.320 crew a little bit. So in fact, that's going to 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.600 be featured in the next Pash podcast, or at least 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.799 upcoming for him. We'll get to that momentarily. But right 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.240 off the top here we'll get some impressions what we 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.920 saw in week one, and yeah, we could spend the 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.120 next hour and talking about who was flashing and maybe 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.920 who was lacking. But how about the quarterback position. And 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.040 I'll tell you what, Wolf, We didn't see Kyler Murray 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.600 obviously last Friday night, but he just had himself a 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.440 heck of a week of practice. Honest. I saw every 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.760 moment of every practice this week, and he was really 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.640 sharp all the tempo. That's a great observation right there. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.080 What kind of tempo were they going at? They were 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.600 going every single sort of tempo. I mean they were 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.760 varying things. There were different you know, two minute offense. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.600 I saw four minute offense. I saw more of a 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.840 traditional offense. It was interesting. But just and you know 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.880 what Christian Kirk will talk about it something that Buddha 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.960 Baker told day Pass about just the increased arm strength 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.480 with your starting quarterback. It's a very intriguing storyline right now. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.239 But I tell you he was sharp all week long. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.919 And if you followed any of the Cardinals social media content, 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.039 he's also very comfortable. I mean, well, I have you 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.240 seen a different Kyler in year three, just the way 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.520 he's asserting himself and his personality if you will, yeah, PAULI, Yeah, 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.000 it's something that I've noticed. It's something you've been talking 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.480 about as well. It's something that his teammates have noticed 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.120 and have been talking about lately. It's just it's the 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.040 maturation of Kyler Murray. It's something that must happen for 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.359 Kyler Murray to become the true franchise quarterback that he 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.599 needs to be. And once again, he's got all the 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.520 physical skills you could possibly want. There's no denying everything 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.200 about Kyler Murray is explosive when it comes to his 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.039 skill set right here, and he's proven that in the 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.240 first two years of the league. Offensive Rookie of the 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.360 Year of course in his rookie season, and then he 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.240 went to the Pro Bowl last year, voted in along 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.720 with Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. That's something you and 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.400 I have talked about many many times. Everyone else. The 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.599 skill set is there now all of a sudden, BALI, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.719 it's those intangibles. It's a leadership that is what he's 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.520 got to grow. And behind him on the depth chart 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.120 and in that room every single day is a guy 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.240 he grew up watching, a guy whose game he admired 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.360 when he was a four year starter at the University 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.599 of Texas in Colt McCoy, a guy with a dozen 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.559 years of NFL experience and it's interesting to hear guys 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.320 in that room and the head coach himself. In fact, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.280 here's Cliff Kingsbury talking about Colt McCoy. Yeah, I thought 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.120 he did a nice job handling the system. First time 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.280 I ever really playing in a game situation on our 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.040 offense and operationally was really smooth, good decisions. That's so 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.800 I thought. Unaddressed at times he handed him so well. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.520 That was on the Arizona Cardinals radio network. That was 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.479 after the game on Friday night, after he went six 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.400 or seven for sixty nine yards. But just his ability 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.599 to come in command that offense, and well, if you 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.440 tell me, just give you a sense of confidence. If 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.520 Kyler ever has to miss time this regular season, guess what, 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.880 you know, You're not in peril. You have a guy 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.880 who can come out and win you a game. You 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.760 no doubt about it. Belli, Yeah, Colt McCoy, I just 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.600 played very, very well, I think for the most part. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.240 Here the one throw to Christian Kirk against that man 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.840 cover man, free man on the outside, and then in 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.880 the middle of the field they had a safety over 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.680 the top. PAULI. Great throw to Christian Kirk, a one 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.719 handed catch by Christian Kirk, and that, to me is 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.640 exactly what Colt McCoy and what this offense honestly needs 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.760 to do this season is continued to push the ball 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.320 down the field and not just attack horizontally, of course, 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.240 but do it vertically. They actually did that last year 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.320 from time to time, but I think they need to 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.440 do it more. Whether it's a tight end down the seam, 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.560 whether it's it's DeAndre Hopkins on the dig, whether it's 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.920 somebody in the seam, whatever it may be. I think 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.840 the chunk throw has got to really resurface here, especially 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.880 when you're talking about those throws PAULI eleven to twenty 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.040 yards somewhere right in that mix. I think that's where 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.480 they can kind of flex a little bit, and that's 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:30.000 really the play action flex that eleven to twenty yards. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.560 We asked Cliff Kingsbury after the game as well about 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.800 Christian Kirk and that grabbed that thirty four yard or 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.360 e referenced and whether it was by design that was 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.400 his last snap at the game, and Cliff said, yeah, 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.360 oh yeah. As soon as he made that catch and 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.680 I got to look at him, he said, I gave 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.240 him the thumb, said get out of the game, go 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.120 grab some sunflower seeds, and so that's where they went 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.440 from there. Now, as you saw yesterday at practice, there 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.120 was the Monday Night Football Lewis Riddick, Brian Greasy, Steve Levy, 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.840 and then a couple of those guys joined Dave Pash 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.480 on an episo sewed an upcoming episode of The Day 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.880 Pash Podcast. In fact, here's Brian Greasy, the former NFL quarterback, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.800 talking about Kyler Murray, the Cardinals franchise quarterback, in his growth. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.360 Kyler I think needs to grow. He needs to grow 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.720 off the field, he needs to grow mentally, he needs 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.880 to grow from a leadership standpoint. Those are all things 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.600 we know and by the way, every young quarterback needs 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.480 to do that. I think sometimes we want a microwave 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.840 Kyler Murray into, you know, a Patrick Mahomes kind of player, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.960 because he is so talented and it is so unique 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.640 and we haven't seen anything like it. But I think 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.560 this is just a normal growing process. Now, there will 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.520 come a time when you know, you either put up 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.200 a shut up, and we're approaching that time, but I 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.640 don't think we're there yet. Nana. I love that Polly. 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.520 That is right on the money. Ding ding Ding ding Ding. Hey, Brian, 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.280 did you happen to play quarterback? By the way, because 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.200 he is all over it in Polly. This is the 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.800 reason why I say, just because you're drafted number one 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:58.600 overall doesn't mean you're a franchise quarterback. This is exactly 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.400 the reason why you have to prove you're a franchise quarterback. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.320 And typically it takes years to prove that you're a 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.079 franchise quarterback. And when I say years, i'm talking about 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.400 three to four years. Not everybody can be Patrick Mahomes 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.520 where you come in and you light it up your 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.800 second year and suddenly you back it up your third 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:25.160 year again. You just don't know how difficult that really is. 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.240 But to develop that kind of relationship with your teammates 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.040 off the field and on the field, man, it takes exposure, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.199 and that exposure takes years. And you're right, and Patrick 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.480 Mahomes NFL MVP is second year Super Bowl champion his 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.600 third year. You know. But there's a lot of comparisons, 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.600 not only the Cliff Kingsbury connection with Kyler Murray, but 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.679 they're baseball background. Interesting here. Cliff Kingsbury this week say that, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.880 upon entering college football, had been an afterthought for Patrick Mahomes. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.720 He had really been primarily a baseball guy, and he 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.760 envisioned that as his future upon his arrival to Texas Tech. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.319 So that was interesting there. Speaking of the Dave Pash Podcast, 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.679 Episode two featuring Buddha Baker available now wherever you get 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.800 your podcast or lay us updates on the Dave Pash 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:15.720 Pod follow along on Twitter at pash Pod. So there 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.320 you go. Look, I've been one of the best things 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.800 that came out of Week one preseason game number one 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.760 is we could have a legitimate debate as to which 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.080 rookie showed up the best, whether it was Zavan Collins, 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.920 Rondale Moore, or Marco Wilson. You could legitimately debate which 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.720 guy was most impressive. And we'll get to a couple 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.640 of those guys next with Christian Kirk and Dave Pass. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.240 As we mentioned, he's gonna join us in and we'll 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.920 talk about it because Wolf, I'll tell you what my 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.199 other takeaway from practice this week when you see the 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.880 Cardinals break the huddle in the red zone and they 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.840 have James Connor, and they have Rondale Moore, and they've 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.760 added AJ Green and now Christian Kirk has been moved 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.880 into the slot inside look out. There are a lot 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.840 more weapons and options for La Murray in the red zone, 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.040 and we know how important that is to winning NFL games. 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.040 Christian Kirk is next. Then the big red rage presented 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:16.360 by Satan four in Gilbert first down in ten from 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.120 the nineteen pocket holes, he throws chunk throw near sideline, 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:24.040 single coverage Burke with a grab in the Dallas territory, 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.480 fanged out a bounds at a forty yard line. There 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.280 you go, that's what we're looking for a preseason with 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.960 step up maker one on one play and he's going 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.600 against the guy that's going to get up in his face. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.200 He's going to challenge him. But Christian Kirk has that 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.520 ability to take the top off the coverage and great 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.240 pass where only his guy could get it. And that 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.319 is the last time that we saw and heard from 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.600 Christian Kirk. The thirty four yard grab deep shot down 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.680 the Cardinals sideline thirteen, got out of bounds and then Dave, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.559 as we learned later, Cliff Kingsbury just got him out 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.319 of the game. He told us after the game, literally 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.200 he's like, you know what, Cliff went down on the 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.280 sideline gave the thumb, you know, just get them out. 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.560 I've seen it off Trey Christian Kirk's helmet for a 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.400 couple of sunflower seeds. And that's where we are here 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.600 on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert. Actually, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.360 Christian Kirk joins us, did we not see you on 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.920 social media in between then and now? Did you speak 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.280 the monsoon into existence? The Arizona guy? You are, Christian? 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.280 Were you talking about the monsoon? Did you did you 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.760 call this all the all the rain we've had? I 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.679 definitely did. I believe um. Like I said in the video, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.480 I was. I was talking with my parents and I'm like, yeah, 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.920 I feel like in recent years we just haven't had 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.080 the monsoon monsoon season that you know, I remember as 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.600 a kid, you know, five to ten years ago, because 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.480 I remember, uh, you know, some of those nasty storms 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.520 that would come through and knock down all the trees 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.280 and even knocked down walls and you know, flood the streets. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:54.719 And sure enough, the monsoon season answered my questioning and 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.400 came came with an attitude this year. So it's been good. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.240 You know. I like to see the valley get a 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.920 lot of rain, and I know it's good, you know, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.400 especially for how dry it is the rest of the year. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.520 So it's it's it's nice to see well. Voice of 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.040 the Cardinals Day Pass barely made it home Friday night 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.559 after calling the game on the TV side. But you're good, right, Dave, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.880 If you're good, I'm here, PAULI. You made it back, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.240 and I'm just glad I get to talk to Christian Kirk. Hey, Christian, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.440 I'm curious. I know you've probably answered this question at nauseum. 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.600 You're probably tired of it. But everybody's tired of talking 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.040 about last year. But when you look back at last 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.720 year and think, Okay, here's where I need to improve, 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.319 here is where I can be a difference maker in 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.120 twenty twenty one, what stands out to you about what 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.800 you learned from a year ago. Well, I think, you know, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:45.160 for myself personally, you know, it's just you know, approaching 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:49.240 each week with that same consistent mindset and with a 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.880 playoff mindset. You know, last year was really the first 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.959 time I really got to, you know, have that feeling 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.840 and kind of taste a little bit of that of 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.280 you know, fighting and vying for a playoff spot. Um, 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.960 and just the sense of urgency, you know, especially towards 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.560 the end of the year, and the type of football 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.960 that needs to be played. And you know, the martygin 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.400 of airs is so small, you know, like I said, 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.680 especially when you know you're you're playing you're one game 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.680 away from making the playoffs, um, you know, and and 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.320 reaching that that goal. So you know, I think that 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.960 was the one thing that I learned is just um, 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.440 you know, it's just the margin of air. It's so small, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.040 and you have to be on every little detail and 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.240 you know, every play matters. You know, you can't can't 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.280 take a playoff and you can't um, you know, not 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.520 not you know, do your job. And I think that's 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.120 just a key for us, you know, as a whole, 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.000 as a team, is you know, showing up and approaching 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.640 every game, um like it's a playoff game, you know, 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.960 because I believe if we do that, then you know, 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.600 we have a shot to be to be really good 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.320 and we just gotta, you know, like I said, cut 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.600 out the little little mistakes. So what does that look 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.920 like then individually for you in terms of adjusting your 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.680 mindset knowing going into the season that hey, every game 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.480 is going to be like that. I like that this 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.440 year because you know we are a playoff team. Yeah, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.800 you know, I just uh, I have to have to 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.840 play to the level of you know, expectation and play 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.480 to the level that you know the team needs me 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.160 to play at. Um. And you know, I know I'm 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.120 you know, going to have a significant role, and you know, 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.320 I know that you know they're going to be counting 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.280 on me to to to make big plays and make 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.440 consistent catches and um, you know, play tough across the 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.600 middle and and and you know, make sure I'm blocking 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.840 you know, you know, tough in the run game and 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.080 things of like that. And so you know, I know 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.960 I'm ready for it. You know, I've I've put in 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.600 the the the work for this offseason and um, you know, 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.160 just just feel you know different out there, feel more mature, 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.000 and just feel um like the like the game's just 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.120 coming coming pretty easy to me right now. So I'm 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.720 just ready to go out there and play. It's all 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.800 about you, Christian Kirk presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.800 We are to clip in the off season from Flight 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.320 Plan where a Cliff Kingsbury was talking to you during 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.200 OTAs on the sideline and he mentioned being the inside 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.880 receiver more often. Is that your expectation and how much 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:01.440 you're looking forward to that? How much do you think 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.280 that suits your game? Um? Yeah, I think that that 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.120 is the expectation. Um. But you know, like I said 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.000 with with Cliff, you know, he can kind of put 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.000 you all over the place, you know, no matter no 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.680 matter what and all. It just kind of depends on 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.160 the game plan. But for right now, obviously think, uh, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.240 you know that's the plan, and you know it's a 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.200 it's exciting. You know, that's the position that I played 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.920 in this offense when I was at Texas A and M. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.840 And it's kind of night and day for me. So 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.440 it's just, uh, you know, kind of kind of working 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.920 out some kings, but other than that, it's it's second 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.480 nature for me and guys. As we know, the Arizona 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.840 Cardinals led in the NFL and ten personnel a year ago, 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.080 four wide receiver. So let me get this straight. If 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.040 it's DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green, Christian Kirk, Rondelle Moore, that's 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.760 pretty tempting Christian for your head coach, right and your 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.760 play caller. I'm guessing he's not going to hesitate to 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.480 go with that personnel package this year. Uh, he definitely won't. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.560 And I think he's he's uh, he's showing that before. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.720 So yeah, I'm just excited to uh to get into 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.080 the game plans, you know, weekend, week out and see 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.720 what he has a journal for us. I was gonna say, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.720 what sort of challenge do you think that is for 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.439 a defensive backfield? Just NFL defense is based on what 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.560 you've seen so far. How stoked are you about your 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.520 wide receiver room? Oh, I mean we can we can 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.239 definitely be one of the best in the league, if 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:17.960 not the best in the league. Um, And I know 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.600 that's our mentality just with uh, you know, the type 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.439 of guys that we have, you know, obviously with uh, 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.880 you know, with with aj And and DeAndre being two 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.080 future Hall of Famers, you know that's uh, you know, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.400 that's kind of the pinnacle. You know that not too 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.920 many times, Um, you know, do you get to play 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.119 with with two Hall of Famers And yeah, you know 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.760 Larry and and DeAndre last year for me, I get 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.239 to sit back and just be like, man, I'll be 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.520 able to say that. You know, each year I've been 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.399 in the league, I've I've had two Hall of Famers 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.040 in my room, which is crazy and so um. You know, 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.200 those guys leading the way and then you know Ron Dale, 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.120 you know, coming along, and you know some of those 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.240 other guys, you know, just being able to learn from them. 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.080 You know, they they set the level of expectation, they 0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.640 set the level of play, and you know we all 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.679 just have to meet that standard. Christian, I wants your 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:07.080 take on Kyler Murray on the Dave Pash Podcast. Sorry 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.600 shameless self promotion, Christian downloading on your way home Buddha. 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.879 Baker sat down with Buddha and asked him where do 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.800 you see Kyler Murray improving from a year ago? And 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.159 he actually his answer was interesting. He said arm strength. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.679 He said, his arm is stronger. What are you noticing 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.440 from Kyler Murray that's different from last year? And it 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.800 maybe something that is in the locker room. Maybe it's 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.520 something that we don't see when we're watching practice. I mean, 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.879 I definitely agree with Buddhist statement in his arm strength. 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.240 I don't know what he did this offseason, but you 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.600 know the balls coming out with a lot more zip 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.439 on it, and you know even on his deep balls, 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.359 you know it's it's right on the money, no matter 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:47.719 how how deep the guy is down the field. But 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.720 you know, from my point of view, I think it 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.359 is just his decision making and to be able to 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.800 go through his reads and no presnap, you know where 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.639 he wants to go with the ball, but also knowing 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.119 all right if he doesn't get the look that he 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.080 wants or the guy, and when he knows, you know, 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:02.800 to get through his other reads and he knows where 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.439 guys are at. And so I think his decision making, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.760 you know, from so far what I've seen in camp 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.080 has just has been elevated a lot more since last year. Well, 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.800 Chase Edmonds raped on Twitter about to throw this week 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.679 in practice on the run fifty yards downfield on the 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.760 money in the end zone, and so Kyler was asked 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.600 about that. Didn't you go to SoCal over the summer 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.639 with Chase and Byron Murphy? You guys hung out and 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.280 trained during the summer. Yep, yeah, we I've been going 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:33.040 to California every year during the off season and training 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.240 with my trader, Jamal Leggins and Chase joined two years ago, 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.800 and so we brought Byron along with us this year, 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.600 and so that was good. You know. We bought Charles 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.320 Washington too. He came for a little bit. Isaiah Simmons came, 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.480 and so we're just getting guys to come out there 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.919 and go out there and get some good work and 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.440 you know, put in some of that, you know, that 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:55.600 that offseason work that's needed and kind of put the landing, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.080 you know, the foundational blocks down to to get ready 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:00.840 for the season. We had Ion Murphy a couple of 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.359 weeks ago. He said he had to go on the trip. 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.640 Somebody had to keep Chase straight because he always thinks 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.240 he's right. So somebody had to had a verbally spar 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.440 with Chase Edmonds during the or else he just gets 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.480 off and on too many rants. So yeah, I don't 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.280 have the emotional capacity sometimes to be able to keep 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.520 up with Chase, so I bring somebody else along to 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.040 talk for me. That's great. Christian Kirk joining us on 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:20.320 the Big Red Rage. Right. If you want to know 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:24.440 about a corner, ask a receiver. Tell us about Marco Wilson. 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.560 He made plays in the game, He's made plays in 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.080 practice all week long. Give us your thoughts on the 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.840 fourth round rookie. You know he's been um, you know, 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.840 very very mature and very poised, you know, so far 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.280 in camp. And you know, one thing that sticks out 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.800 for me with Marco is you know he's never out 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.159 of position. You know, he's always in a position to 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.200 make a play on the ball. And I think that's 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.159 one thing encouraging. You know, when you look at a 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.880 young corners, you know he's not getting beat bad and 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.520 you know he's not you know, getting tons of catches 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.000 you know, caught on him. You know where they're wide open. 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.440 You know, he's always making them contested, you know, catches. 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.160 And I think that's that's uh, you know, really important. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:00.920 And it seems like he's picking up the scheme well. 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.960 So we're all, you know, really excited about his development, 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.360 how he's playing so far. What's it like to be 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.320 in the same room with Aj Green? And is there 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.879 anything specifically that you've learned from him? And do you 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:14.960 see aj is having a lot left in the tank? 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:17.320 You know, I definitely think he has a lot left 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.639 in the tank. You know, we were all you know, 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.440 very impressed and with how he's been able to have 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.840 been practicing, and you know just the way he comes 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.199 off the ball and you know, you see it, you 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.040 see why he's been you know, one of the top 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.280 receivers in the league, you know, over the past decade, 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.600 and so we're just excited to have him. You know, 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:35.240 I got a locker right next to him, so I 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:36.800 got to you know, talk to him a lot. And 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.159 he's just a great, genuine dude, and you know, a 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.399 guy who's also like not afraid to ask questions, you know, 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.560 asking me questions. And he's got you know, eight years 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.960 on me in the league. And so just to to 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.439 to see that and have a guy like that in 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.920 the room is is good, you know, just for everyone. 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.240 It's it's good for guys like me and my development 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.760 to you know, see you know why he's been success 0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:59.720 so successful in the league. You know, the DB's have 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:03.720 talked about how there's four distinctly different receivers between an 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.920 AJ Green and DeAndre Hopkins your game and then Rondale Moore. 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.440 How do you think Rondale Moore, the rookie impacts this 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.320 offense Christian you know, I think he just adds that 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.879 extra dimension, you know when it comes to you know, 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.879 stretching the field either latterly or vertically. I mean the 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.720 kid ran a four two and um, you know, just 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:22.800 with how quick he is, you know, with his hands 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.199 and his eyes and in and out of breaks. You 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.399 know he's he's coming along good and you know you 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:28.879 can see it. You know he wants to stick in 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.760 his foot in the ground and go, uh, he's separating 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.840 from guys. So I think there's gonna be a lot 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.240 of you know, really cool ways and things that you know, 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:37.800 Cliff is going to be able to, you know, get 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.879 him the ball in space, get the ball in his hands, 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:42.679 and you know, really help us out this year. All right, 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.959 so we know your relationship with fits. You got him 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.200 on speed dial, Dave. Dave name dropped earlier. So I'm 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:51.080 gonna flex. I did this MC event with Roger Goodell 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:52.840 a couple of weeks ago, right, and he said that 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.119 he texted Larry he was in town. Larry said, sorry, 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.480 I'm playing golf in kna So what is Larry doing 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.520 these days? And what's he waiting for? I mean, what 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.320 what do you think he's waiting for? With anything? Yeah, 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.399 may or may not have got a couple of clips 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:09.320 of him teeing off over there in Kona. So while 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:12.359 he's asking us how practice is going, Um, it seems 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:16.320 like he's enjoying life pretty pretty well row well right now. 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.719 But um, you know, I leave it to him. You know, 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.080 we talk and you know, you know how larious. No 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:23.840 matter how many times you ask him, you know, he'll 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.400 always beat around the bush. So I think we've all 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:28.840 or at least from my standpoint, I've I've quit asking 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.120 him and just uh, you know, to shoot him text 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.320 from here and there, and he's he's checking in on 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.720 you know, me and Chase and you know, obviously turning 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:38.280 over in San Francisco. He's just checking in on us 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:40.560 and you know, still being that big brother figure to 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:43.560 us and joking around. So you know, I'm just at 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.119 this point, I'm just letting him be in. You know, 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.119 when we hear, we we'll hear that last question for 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.240 Christian Kirk Byron Murphy has his own fashion line out 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:55.080 Are you Are you launching something similar or have you already? Yeah? 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:58.159 I've had air Lieberry Avenue as my clothing line. I 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.159 launched it in February. It's named after the street I 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:05.440 grew up here in Arizona. And we're in two retail stores, 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.800 um in Fashion Square Mall and it's been real successful 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.040 so far. And you know just uh, you know something 0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.480 I've always you know, wanted to do something different than 0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:15.840 just you know, fan merchandise. You know, I wanted to 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:18.320 be a little creative and you know, start it. And 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:20.639 so it's been it's been good. You know, been a 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:22.320 lot of hard work, but it's good to you know, 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:24.879 learn the ins and outs of starting in business and 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:27.399 running one too. Do you make any ties that might 0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:30.680 look good on television? Because Ron Wolf Lee still has 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:32.880 one tie that he's had for the last thirty years. 0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.160 He needs a new tie. Christian, can you provide one. 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:37.359 I'll see if I can get him right and if if, 0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.400 if he if he rocks it for every game, he'll 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.720 definitely get his own special round Wolflee tie. Wolf doesn't 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:44.720 need a new tie, needs a new wolk. Okay, he 0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.080 needs an extreme makeover. We're gonna send him over for 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.400 an entire day over to your place. Okay, Christian, thank you, Yeah, 0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.920 thank you guys. Thank there you go. Christian Kirk on 0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:56.680 the Big Red Rage Man looking forward to this receiver 0:24:56.800 --> 0:24:59.480 group and Christian Kirk being in a contract year, these 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.399 guys are the fall and we are looking forward to that. 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.800 We'll continue with a big red rate presented by santan 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:12.800 Ford and Gilbert. Right after this first down and ten 0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.960 from the thirty five, Gilbert under center again and this 0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:17.960 time they'll keep it on the ground and hit in 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.800 the backfield and dragged down as a Dallas running back. 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.600 And there is saving Collins with a tackle for loss 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.280 on the very first run play of his career. Oh man, 0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.560 that is what you are looking for. A linebacker to 0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.320 float out quickly the two receivers to the near side 0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:36.240 and out of the gun. Three step dropped plenty of time. 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.639 Rifles went over the middle. There's Marco Wilson and coverage 0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:43.080 with a pass break up step first step with the 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:47.360 intended receiver. Marco Wilson one of the highest graded rookies, 0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:49.600 at least according to some of the analytics and the 0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:54.760 grading services. In Week one of the preseason. Officially, he 0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:58.439 had a couple of passes defense according to Pro Football Focus, 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:03.119 six targets, three worst in completion. So, as we said, 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:05.680 you could make a case for any of the top 0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:09.240 three drafted rookies as to who showed up and bawled 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.639 out in Week one of the preseason. It is the 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.400 Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert, Paul 0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:18.199 kelvc Ron Wolfley, thanks to Christian Kirk and Dave Pastor 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.680 joined us at last segment. And all apologies to Wolf 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:22.520 from me and Pash for the cheap shot when he 0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:24.359 wasn't there to defend himself at the very end of 0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:27.240 the interview, but a lot of worthwhile stuff up until 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:30.520 that moment. Your takeaways, Wolf from some of what Kirk 0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:32.600 had to say. You know what I would say, PAULI 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:36.320 overall just his maturity, the maturity level of Christian Kirk. 0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:38.639 I don't know if you have noticed this at all, 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:42.240 but he just seems so okay with himself and so 0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:45.840 confident in his abilities and his skills. I thought every 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:48.960 answer was weighed, it was measured, and you know me, 0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:53.160 I'm a guy that loves the art of speaking Median 0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.840 and he did it very very well. He answered all 0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:00.000 the questions and yet he was very articulate and intelligence 0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.639 and it was a great interview by Christian Kirk. But 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:07.080 I love his maturity overall. I think it's it's a 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:10.560 guy that's developing into a veteran. And when he said 0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:13.919 that that slot position and this offense is akin to 0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.399 his A and M days and that second nature to me, 0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:19.280 and that makes you fired up, doesn't it. If that's 0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:21.840 right in his wheelhouse, then it does make you wonder, Okay, 0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:25.600 what's to come? That's the side benefit of adding an 0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.440 AJ Green is now Christian Kirk kicks inside. And then 0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:31.479 his comments and Kyler Murray and the increased arm strength 0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:33.600 that he has more zip on the ball and the 0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:36.160 deep balls have been on the money, and then Kyler's 0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:38.560 decision making and in year three of the offense. So 0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:41.000 a lot of intriguing stuff right there. And then we 0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:42.719 talked a little bit about the rookies. But Wolf, I 0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:45.840 want to hear your thoughts on Zaven Collins And obviously 0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:47.960 the highlight was the tackle for loss in the second 0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:49.960 play of the game. Let me just say, going into 0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:52.840 this game, Polly, you know how jacked up I was 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.960 to watch a Zaven Collins. That was the talk all 0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:59.920 week before the game against the Cowboys. How would Zaven 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:03.960 Collins actually hold up? Oh my goodness, I gotta tell you. 0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:07.480 The Dallas Cowboys got into twenty one personnel with two 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.960 backs including a fullback, and they ran Io. They went 0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:14.760 after Xavan Collins. So it was an awesome thing to 0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.560 actually see him respond the way that he did. Second 0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:19.840 play the game, we saw him on that tackle zone, 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.360 shoot the backside, a gap, actually made the play right there, 0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.240 a tackle in the backfield. That was great to be 0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.639 playing downhill like that and to make that tackle. But Paula, 0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:31.920 you know, I was talking all week about the how, 0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.960 how was Zavian Collins going to play right? Not the what, 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.920 not the tackle, not the past defended, not to us sack, 0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:44.520 not an interception, not the stats, the how. That's what 0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:47.360 I wanted to see in zaven Collins and the howl 0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:52.440 stick in his face right on that fullback on those ISOs. 0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:57.280 That to me filled me with a love in a respect. No, listen, 0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:01.640 it's one game, paul It's one game, one preseason game, 0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.760 and only a handful of plays. But guess what, it 0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:09.400 sure beats the alternative. You know, before the game, I 0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:13.360 had a chance to interview Cliff Kingsbury and I asked 0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.920 him just describe the degree of difficulty, just the scope 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:20.239 of the challenge of being a rookie middle linebacker in 0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.240 charge of the entire defense, and he said, you know what, 0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:27.160 it's a notch behind being a rookie quarterback. That's how 0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:30.080 demanding it is, and then we asked Cliff Kingsbury after 0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:32.200 the game for his thoughts and what he saw Outazavin 0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.200 Collins to work in progress, there's no doubt, but he's 0:29:35.560 --> 0:29:37.640 once again he's a guy who works at it. You know, 0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.960 he's asking for extra meeting time with coach Davis, coach 0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:43.600 Joseph pre med major there at Tulsa, so he has 0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.720 the IQ to get it done and he's been been 0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:48.920 grinding on it for the last three months. And we'll 0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.200 have our ups and downs there. That's a tough position 0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:55.200 to play, but we like where it's heading. And here's 0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:57.280 the thing it didn't you know, there's one thing to 0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:59.560 be learning on the job. It's another thing to be 0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:02.880 learning an entirely new position, which is what the ears 0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.080 on a cardinal's face with, for example, Hassan Reddick. Yes, 0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.240 that's not Saven Collins right. Yes, there's gonna be moments 0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.480 where he's full to your point, obviously, there's gonna be 0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.960 some growing pains, but there are moments like we saw 0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:17.360 on the second snap of the game, where he is 0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.240 able to just read and react and flow straight to 0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.520 the football because he's been there and done that before. 0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:25.200 See Paul I don't know if he noticed, but on 0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:27.720 those iOS right there, a couple of times he knocked 0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:30.880 the dog out of the fullback. I mean that fullback. 0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:33.480 I know what it's like to get the dog nonnati. 0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:38.320 That fullback's head snapped a couple of times, big time. 0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:41.560 He stuck it in there and did a great job 0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.120 at the point of attack. And you know what, PAULI, 0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.600 if you're gonna play mike linebacker in the National Football 0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:50.480 League and you don't do that, you're you're not capable 0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:53.520 of doing. You have no chance. You have no chance. 0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:56.560 Everything else after that is you know what. I guess 0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:59.000 we're gonna put you at the week side inside linebacker 0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:02.240 and just hope that you developed that way. And that 0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:05.200 is not Zaven Collins, not from what I saw, of 0:31:05.200 --> 0:31:08.160 course against the Cowboys. And again I know it's one 0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:11.080 preseason game, but Paulie, if you're willing to do it 0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.800 like that to the degree in which Xavian Collins did, 0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:18.800 it tells me he's so aware of the coaching he's receiving. 0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.360 Because that's what they wanted to see as well. Bill 0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:24.920 Davis told us that. And remember, the young man has 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:28.920 the ability to deliver a blow his measurables. I go 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.480 back to the first rookie mini camp and the first 0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:33.280 time I stood next to him down on that field 0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:36.400 that Cardinals packers say, I'm like, this guy's the middle linebacker. 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:40.600 He is a legit six five, two sixty's. It's stunning 0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:43.280 in a lot of ways. It is what middle linebackers 0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:45.520 used to be for the most part, back when I played. 0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:47.840 Yes and You're right, Bill Davis told us on the 0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:52.040 Big Red Rage. He is a throwback, throwback linebacker. So now, 0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:55.080 as for Marco Wilson, we mentioned him earlier. You heard 0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:58.160 what Christian kirk said about Marco Wilson. Most impressive to 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.840 Christian Kirks so far, and I'm voting loosely, is that 0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:04.080 he's rarely out of position, that he's always in position 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.680 to at least make it a contested catch. That you 0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:09.560 just don't see rookies at often who aren't beat bad 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.560 or they don't leave someone wide open. And after he 0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:14.440 went out and he got a lot of action in 0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:16.880 that first game, he was our postgame guest and the 0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:19.880 Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, here's Marco Wilson, his thoughts and 0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:23.800 his performance his debut against Dallas I felt pretty good 0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:26.000 about it. Definitely some things I could clean up about 0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.400 my game, but overall went out there and felt confident, 0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:31.040 just have fun. So it was it was cool to 0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:32.560 go out there and get my feet wet for the 0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:34.840 first time in the NFL. See to me, I look 0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:36.840 at that secondary, I look at that cornerback room and 0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:40.720 wolf to me, they have four corners. They do. They 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:45.000 have four legitimate corners, and Byron Murphy, Malcolm Buner, Robert 0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.920 Alford and now Marco Wilson. I think they're going into 0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.040 this season with four corners they can count out. Yeah, 0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:54.120 you know, Paula, you know how much I love this 0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.320 corner room. And one of the reasons why is because 0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:59.320 of how tough they are and what good tacklers they are. 0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:03.040 Now listening again, you don't go out and pay corners 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:06.920 because are great tacklers, all right, You just don't do that, Paullie. 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:10.440 But man again, it sure beats the alternative when you 0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:12.880 got guys you feel pretty good about in terms of 0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:16.400 being able to hold up in coverage that are dogs, 0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:18.840 that are guys that like to tackle. I think of 0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:22.240 Robert Alfred once again. Oh if somehow someway Robert Alford 0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:25.000 makes it to the first game. If he gets into 0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:28.160 the Silks and actually is gonna play against the Tennessee Titans, 0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:33.360 I'm gonna I'm gonna just lose my mind because this guy. 0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:37.280 I believe in Robert Alford and what he has shown 0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:40.720 us over the last three seasons here, and what we're 0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:42.960 seeing once again is a guy in training camp that 0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:45.680 is a one. That's what he is. He's got that 0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:48.600 kind of skill, he's got that kind of talents. Now 0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:51.719 all of a sudden, Malcolm Butler the competitor that he is, 0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:55.560 and you throwing Byron Murphy, who I think might be 0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:58.880 the most improved young guy on this team. And there's 0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:01.240 a lot of young guys, PAULI. Yeah, there's a lot 0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:03.320 of young guys that are gonna step up and play. 0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:06.480 That's the great news for the Arizona Cardinals as well. Yes, 0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:10.320 they've got some old guys. Yes, they got guys like j. J. Watt, 0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:12.719 a guy that is thirty two years old. Yes, I 0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:15.839 understand that there are some older guys, but man, they've 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:19.600 got some young guys that are getting ready I think 0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:23.600 to have really good seasons. Guys like Jalen Thompson, Richard Lawrence, 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:28.520 Isaiah Simmons, Lucky Foe too. They got a lot of 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:32.200 young guys that I think are gonna step up and 0:34:32.320 --> 0:34:36.600 let's see what kind of defense this becomes. And look, 0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:39.080 I gotta pump the brakes a little bit obviously. I 0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:40.840 know I'm pretty bullish on the corners and what I 0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:44.160 said earlier, but it's not like they have that Jalen 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.040 Ramsey type who's just gonna check O Julio Jones the 0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:48.759 entire game and take him out of the game. I 0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:52.040 get that. I just thinking in terms of aunts Joseph, 0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:54.560 he has four corners I think he can count on 0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.200 and with a Marco Wilson who just spent four years 0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:00.160 as a starter at Florida going against SEC competition, And 0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.279 we also asked him in that interview about going up 0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:05.279 against Ceedee Lamb a few snaps, and I mean it 0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:07.680 didn't pause him for a second. He's been going up 0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.759 against elite talent ever since he was eighteen years old, 0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.000 and he was a true freshman starting at Florida. So 0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:16.319 I think that's what equips him uniquely to be a 0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:20.160 rookie who can contribute, especially a fourth round rookie. Hey 0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.920 choose the best seat options that fit your needs. Season tickets, 0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:26.920 single game, group tickets, club level seating and more.

All right, how about the other side 0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:35.520 of the ball and a second year running back who's 0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:41.560 making a big push next on the big red rage. 0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:45.520 Eno Benchman takes a line drive kick three yards deep 0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:47.440 in his own and then zone out across the numbers 0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:49.560 of ten to twenty. He's got a lane at the 0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:53.000 thirty and then's tackled at a thirty three yard line. 0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:57.160 Eno Benjamin. Nice vision and a first Eno Benjamin the 0:35:57.280 --> 0:35:58.960 run up the mental He's got room of us the 0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:01.359 forty to the fifty. He's been the near sideline at 0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:03.840 the forty, trying to turn on the jets at the thirty. 0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:08.319 Inside that's twenty five and Eno Benjamin. How about that? 0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:10.640 But the former a su running back first and goal 0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:12.960 from the sixth to give his Dino Benjamin off the 0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:15.680 left side. He's got plenty of room to run and 0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:20.200 he faults into the end zone untouched. Carcal's touchdown as 0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:23.680 a calf to drive. After the takeaway by the defense, 0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:28.480 Eno Benjamin cashes it in for six and Asino. Benjamin, 0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:31.600 the seventh round pick last year, the first draft pick 0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:34.760 by the Arizona Cardinals out of Arizona State University since 0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:39.920 seventh rounder Pat Tillman nineteen ninety eight. A guy eno 0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:43.399 Benjamin who had over three thousand all purpose yards during 0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:46.120 his ASU career, and he did a little bit of everything. 0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:49.600 Did he not against Dallas last Friday night? Wolf? Yeah, No, 0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:52.200 he did, Paula. I love the fact that he showed 0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:54.959 great vision, not only on that thirty eight yard run, 0:36:55.080 --> 0:36:58.080 but also his touchdown run. He showed a little patience, 0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:02.160 a little hesitation, and great visions seeing the hole, seeing 0:37:02.200 --> 0:37:04.839 the play and scoring a touchdown. To me, I thought, 0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:08.000 you know, Benjamin made the team. Now that's just me, 0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:12.240 Paulie looking at the roster, looking at O Benjamin, knowing 0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:15.040 the kind of player he is, knowing his brain, knowing 0:37:15.080 --> 0:37:18.600 he's very much like a Chase Edmonds. These guys hang out, 0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:21.960 they talk about football all the time, they watch tape together, 0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:25.000 and then you watch him play. He's a guy that's 0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:27.799 buttoned up. And when I think of a buttoned up 0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.560 football player, I think a Chase Edmonds, and I think 0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:34.160 that influence is starting to rub off on Eno Benjamin. 0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:37.400 But he showed some great vision and patience on that 0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:40.319 touchdown run, in that thirty eight yard run, and I 0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:44.520 think unless he goes out there and just totally doesn't 0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:47.600 even try, I think he's made the team ball, you 0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:49.800 know what. That's big And as you know better than anyone, 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:54.000 it's his role on teams that's a big factor in 0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:56.560 him making the team, something he didn't do a year 0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:58.680 ago when he was inactive for every single game and 0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:01.759 they they undrafted running back Jonathan Ward was the guy 0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:05.839 who saw action primarily on special teams. So now he's 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:08.840 returning kicks. He's also doing more for Jeff Rogers, a 0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:10.960 special teams coach, and there he was on the Red 0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:14.000 Sea Report this week and Craig Griel who asked him 0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:17.280 just about his comfort level in year two. Eno Benjamin 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:20.960 really just having a better understanding of what's going on, 0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:24.920 and not only that, what's expected. And so I've had 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:27.960 conversations with Com and com says he believes in me, 0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:29.920 and so from there us just kind of letting the 0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:32.719 game come to meum and doing well whatever I'm asked 0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:34.800 to do to the best of my ability. About that, 0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:37.120 how about sitting down with a gym in the off 0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:39.279 season and asking him, Okay, give me a to do list, 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.120 give me a checklist. How can I be that guy 0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:44.759 for you and make a difference and make this team? Yeah? 0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:46.279 You know what, Well, one of the things you can 0:38:46.280 --> 0:38:48.680 do is actually return kickoffs the way that you know 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:52.319 Benjamin did as well against the Cowboys. PAULI, you want 0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:57.000 to talk about vance Joseph running into the darkness? Right? Yeah, 0:38:57.200 --> 0:39:00.920 he's stoked. Sure, he's stoked it. He looked so good 0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:03.799 on his kickoff returns. And it's funny because I was 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:06.840 talking to Jeff Rogers about that very thing, the special 0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:09.480 team's coordinator of course for the Arizona Cardels, and he 0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:13.000 was saying, they call it running into the smoke, running 0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:16.520 into smoke, Bally all right, So it's the same analogy 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.680 right there. Whatever it is, you know, Benjamin did it 0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:22.800 and does it. And because of that with the production 0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:26.560 of course, knowing the brain that he has and knowing 0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:29.880 that he will run into the darkness slash smoke, that 0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:32.600 to me, thanks, I think he's made this team. And 0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:35.120 guess what if I'm Cliff Kingsbury and I don't have 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:38.239 to jeopardize a Rondel Moore or a Christian Kirk in 0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:41.600 the return game. That's big, you know. I think I 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:44.319 think that fortifies his chances of even dressing on game 0:39:44.400 --> 0:39:47.520 day if he's that guy. Yes. Yeah, Speaking of running backs, 0:39:47.600 --> 0:39:49.759 James Connor is back off the cover list, and by 0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:53.200 the way, more COVID news as Jordan Phillips and Justin 0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:57.040 Pew reveal that they have both tested positive despite being 0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.640 fully vaccinated. So we'll see where that goes. You know, 0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:02.359 Andy Isabella is not going to play tomorrow night, he's 0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:05.040 on the COVID list. But the return of James Connor, 0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:08.120 someone we did not see last Friday Night, we figure 0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:12.040 we will see tomorrow night. And Wolf, how fired up 0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.040 are you to see this six foot one, two hundred 0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:16.719 and thirty pound plus guy, especially maybe if they get 0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:20.560 around there the goal line, Boom, here comes James Connor. Yeah, Paul, really, 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:22.840 you know, first of all, I think they're gonna be interchangeable, 0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:25.160 the running backs in this offense. I don't think it's 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:27.200 just going to be shot yardage where you're gonna see 0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:29.319 James Connor. I don't think it's just gonna be third 0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:32.480 n obvious where you see Chase Edmonds. I think they're 0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:35.640 gonna mix and match these guys. And the reason why 0:40:35.760 --> 0:40:37.640 is because, once again, you don't want to be predictable 0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.120 as your offense. You don't want to say, okay, and 0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:42.680 this personnela group, this is what they like to run 0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:45.719 and in this personnel group when Chase Edmonds is it, 0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:49.200 this is what you don't want to be so predictable. 0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:52.279 Of course, it's something that NFL teams work on their 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:55.800 tendencies all the time. So yes, I'm interested to see 0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:58.480 James Connor and want to see him play Paulie. I 0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:01.640 want to see how many times quarterback is under center 0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:04.960 once again. I want to see Kyler Murray if he plays, 0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:07.799 how many reps he actually gets. I want to see 0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:11.320 what corner is going to line up over Tyree Hill first, 0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:14.400 if in fact, Tyreek Hill goes. I want to see 0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:18.440 these chief starters. And I don't know how long that 0:41:18.520 --> 0:41:21.239 Andy Reid is going to play guys like Tyree Hill 0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:25.400 and Travis Kelsey and you know, Patrick Mahomes. I have 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:28.479 no idea how long. I can't see him playing them 0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:32.120 a half I can't, but man, if he does, I 0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:34.400 think this is gonna be some good work for some 0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:37.440 of the Cardinals players as well, And don't we go 0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:39.759 right back to those young linebackers, don't we go right 0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:43.000 back to Zavian Collins and Isaiah Simmons. And how invaluable 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.880 this might be if Andy Reid makes good what he 0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:47.759 told the media that he's gonna play most of his 0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:51.200 starters most of the first half, especially that offensive line. 0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:54.520 They have five new starters on that offensive line, so 0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:56.879 he wants to get those guys not only in the game, 0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:01.600 but get them them some chemistry with Patrick nah absolutely, 0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:04.439 and you know that means, hey, get some chemistry. Let's 0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:07.359 run the ball in the preseason. That's something I think 0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:09.960 Andy Reid does a lot as well. He runs the 0:42:10.000 --> 0:42:12.920 ball much more in the preseason that he does in 0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:16.759 the regular season. And for good reason, I might in 0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:21.120 He's got Patrick Mahobs, Drivis Kelsey at Tyreek Hill. I mean, 0:42:21.280 --> 0:42:23.440 I think we all understand why they like to actually 0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:26.760 throw the ball, but I want to see the physicality 0:42:26.800 --> 0:42:28.840 on the line of scrimmage like it was against the 0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:31.799 Dallas Cowboys. And again I realized you didn't have all 0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:34.760 your starters out there, but man, I thought the physicality 0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:37.960 on both sides of the ball for the Arizona Cardinals 0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:40.600 on the defensive side and the offensive side I thought 0:42:40.680 --> 0:42:43.560 was good. They seemed to control the line of scrimmage. 0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:46.000 So for me, I want to see that once again 0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:49.920 because that's the mentality this team needs to develop. All Right, 0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:52.400 we talked about flashing and lacking. The Cardinals are going 0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:56.720 to be lacking basically their first five top defensive lineman. 0:42:56.800 --> 0:42:59.160 Last week it was their top six. How big a 0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:02.280 deal is this to you? Without JJ Watt, Jordan Phillips, 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.040 Zack Allens should be back, with Chard Lawrence, Lecky Foe 0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:07.759 two should be back. But you know Corey Peters whether 0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:10.600 he's ready to go, and Chandler Jones isn't gonna go. 0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:13.279 Give me your thoughts on that. Yeah, well, I think 0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:16.759 we should ask Zaven Collins how he feels. I mean, 0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:20.920 they got to remember Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins. They're 0:43:20.920 --> 0:43:23.520 the guys that are exposed when you've got guys that 0:43:23.640 --> 0:43:26.360 might not be as good with their hand on the 0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:28.839 line of scrimmage, firing off the ball, trying to keep 0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:33.319 offensive linemen off of those inside linebackers. So they're the 0:43:33.320 --> 0:43:36.440 ones that really suffer the most on this And listen 0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:41.200 I thought once again that the Cardinal defensive line competed 0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:44.400 last week. I just you know me, Paully, It's just 0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:47.400 a situation where I can't get all jacked up because 0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:50.920 of the preseason. I know that it's the only football 0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:54.000 that we have, and that's sure beats the alternative. But 0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:59.160 you can't drawing any type of conclusions or comparisons, especially 0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:03.160 based on one season game. That's a dangerous, dangerous art. 0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.480 And you know what, there's opportunity when that happens. A 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:10.840 Michael Dogbeat, for example, graded out very high. David Perry, 0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.279 the no stackle me called, we called his name a 0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:16.080 ton I know he's got the coach's eye. You have 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:19.960 a Greg Dorch who made that unbelievable physical catch in 0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:23.200 traffic and filed it up with an Odell type one 0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:26.120 handed grab to start the practice week. He has definitely 0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:28.640 caught the coach's eye. So as all these veterans are 0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:31.880 out for one reason or another, it creates opportunity for 0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:33.680 some of these young guys to make a run from 0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:36.400 the depths of the depth chart and perhaps, you know, 0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:39.840 make a serious be it for the final fifty three. 0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:43.959 And I just want to say, George, I love that Dave. 0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:48.200 How about two names Jim Almhandro and Jeff Darch Special 0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:51.400 thanks Star Senior Producer and Technical Director.
