Speaker 1: You know what they say about life, Ron Wolfley, No,

14
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: it's all about timing. Big Red beats Big Blue in

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: the Big Apple and then gets out of town seventy

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: two hours before the northeaster. L Grande. Let the next

17
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: guy deal with three feet of snow. You got temperatures

18
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: in the high fifties and sunshine. You were pretty happy, bowing,

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: very very happy. Now let's see, you need another win.

20
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: It is December. You need to keep your playoff spot.

21
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: You're currently in the playoff picture, you have a wildcard.

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: You know what, um timing, take another game against the

23
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: NFC East, please, because he've already had three wins against

24
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: the NFC East by a combined ninety four to thirty

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: two timing. And this game is against a rookie quarterback

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: not making his first but his second start. And why

27
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: is that critical, Ron Wolfleet, Because now you have sixty

28
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: minutes a game film that his first opponent, the New

29
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, did not have, and you think that might

30
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: be a little bit of an advantage. And all while

31
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: we're at it, Philadelphia's offensive line is fielding it's thirteenth

32
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: combination in fourteen games. Are banged up yet again along

33
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: that offensive line, and you're coming off a game with

34
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: eight sacks. How about that for timing? As we say,

35
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: welcome into the Big Red Race presented by santan Ford.

36
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: My goodness, Folly, I'm telling you right now, I am

37
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: thoroughly in bress with that. I did not know that.

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Are you telling me? Thirteen? What is it? Thirteen different

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: combinations of offensive line in the last fourteen games, so

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: many injuries, it's only an hour show. I don't think

41
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: we could even get into it's beyond shuffling the deck.

42
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: The only guy who's the constant is there, three time

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: All Pro center Jason Kelsey, and everything has been a

44
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: turnstyle around him in more ways than one. Baldens in

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: terms of the ability of guys to get to their quarterback.

46
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Although look they had zero sacks giving up in this

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: last game. Saints na get to Jalen Hurst. But just

48
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: everything the way it's unfolding. Well, if you need a

49
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: few breaks, you need to get rolling, and hopefully what

50
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: you saw in New York continues has stain power and

51
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: shelf life here as December continues with three more games. Yeah,

52
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. Paul boy, it's an amazing thing.

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I did not know their offensive line was that bad.

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: I know they were a mess in terms of injury

55
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: and different guys playing, but not to that degree, because

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: that really is problematic right there. Now again, you bring

57
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: up a good point last week with Jalen Hurts as

58
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: their quarterback, and it really does change their offense an

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: awful lot. Paulli to have Jalen Hurts at quarterback as

60
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: opposed to Carson Wentz. Right now, Carson Wentz, boy, the

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: guy was in a funk. He really was. You watch

62
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Himnte Paul, and he was holding the ball. He was

63
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: holding the ball. He was holding the ball. And one

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: of the reasons why he was holding the ball is

65
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: because when he was making a decision to throw the ball,

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: many times he was throwing it to the wrong color.

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Many times he was throwing it to the defense. So

68
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: it's a situation right now where there's not a lot

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: of confidence on that offense, but there is hope because

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is bringing hope to this football team. You

71
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: could see it last week against the Saints. The kid

72
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: went out, made a couple of plays and it really

73
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: rallied that Eagles defense. It was almost addition by subtraction.

74
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: Just getting rid of Carson Wentz and the turnover machine

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: he was leading the NFL obviously gave them a much

76
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: much better chance to win. But then, like Pat p

77
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: said this week, you know he didn't have many dropbacks

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: at all. Jalen hurd scene. They attacked the Saints with

79
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: rollouts and bootlegs, and Pat Pe liking it to what

80
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the Rams did against the Cardinals with Jared Goff a

81
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Yeah, so we know how challenging

82
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: that was, obviously, and you still have the Rams on

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: your schedule at the end of the season. Dan Arnold

84
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: is going to join us tonight on the Big Red Rage.

85
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: We're all presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We are

86
00:04:52,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: Santan for just getting rolling on the Big Red Rage.

87
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: Three step drop in troubles Jones and he fumbles the

88
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: balls hooked down. When he recovers it, Hassan Reddick with

89
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: the sack and the script shortan set pressure coming. Jones

90
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: is sacked by Hassan Reddick. Yeah, Hassan Reddick coming off

91
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: the dsreder Jones back to throw hidden sacked inside the

92
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: five yard line. He fumbled the ball. It's recovered by

93
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: the Giants. Reddick and Golden were both back there again.

94
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: Pressure coming and guess who's got him. Hassan Reddick with

95
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: his fourth sack. Oh my goodness, he did it again

96
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: to the boy back to throw, pressure coming, sack by

97
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Reddick and he forced the fumble. That's his fifth sack

98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: of the day. Man. Hassan Reddick has owned the new

99
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: York Giants here today just a single game all time

100
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,400

00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,159

Speaker 1: of the Week, and as we say, welcome back into

104
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert

105
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: dan Arnold, our special guest. He'll be on deck here momentarily.

106
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Ron Wilfley, what was that like? Even Dave Fash calling

107
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: that game, it must have been surreal to agree. He

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: came in with five sacks and he left with five

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: sacks in the game for a total at ten. Yeah,

110
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. That was an incredible performance

111
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: by Hassan Reddick. And what was so incredible about it, Paul,

112
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: He was just the fact that go back and look

113
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: at it. It wasn't like there were a bunch of

114
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: covered sacks. There were not. He made a move, he

115
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: beat his man and he made a play that to

116
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: me is incredible when you consider the fact he had

117
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: five of those. You know, I'm gonna bull rush you,

118
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm bulling the tackle and then I'm coming off and

119
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: making the sack or I'm going I'm gonna get the edge.

120
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: That's what he did. He got the edge, the arm

121
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: under came around the corner, got the sack. He beat

122
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: his man and got the sack. It wasn't like they

123
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: were covered. Sack so impressive. In a gross simplification of

124
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the truth, the defense won a game for the Arizona Cardinals. Paul,

125
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: think about it. The Cardinals are the first team since

126
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight to have eight sacks and five forced

127
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: fumbles in a game. His son Reddick had three force fumbles.

128
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: And you know, speaking of the ball out there, and

129
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: you know for the taking. After the game, he had

130
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury and here he is in the locker

131
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: room and we haven't heard this yet. He was giving

132
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: out game balls, including one to Marcus Golden. It was

133
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: it was off camera before the cameras rolling. Of course,

134
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden got everything started. The former Giant wit. He

135
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: had the strip, sack and the fumble recovery. He took

136
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: it inside the ten on the first possession of the

137
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: game and then from there he we know where the

138
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: next one was going. It was an absolute to his

139
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: son Reddick. Here's coach, five sacks and New Air's gonna

140
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals club records all right, nine catches for one thirty

141
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: six man Mike Nugent steps in and went four for

142
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: four and two the last one. The whole defensive staff

143
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: and defense. That's how you said the whole name about that.

144
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: That's it, man, that's the locker room of a team.

145
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that smells like momentum right there,

146
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: and a team that's starting to get it together in December.

147
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: You tell me ten years in the NFL locker room,

148
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: what's the vibe there. Yeah, there's no doubt about it, Pauli.

149
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: You could hear it right all three phases too. That's

150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: what I liked. He gave out game balls to all

151
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: three phases, defense, offense, and special teams, and the coaching

152
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: staff throw that in right there. Just a huge win

153
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: for this team, especially Pauli. When you consider how it

154
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: was trending going into this game, you know, you think

155
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: about it the Giants, Paul they had won four in

156
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: a row. Yep, they had one of the hottest defense

157
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: fences on the planet. As a matter of fact, over

158
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: the three weeks prior to playing the Arizona Cardinals. They

159
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: had the best defensive quarterback rating in the league. Now,

160
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: I know you could sit there and say, well, you

161
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: know what, they played Carson Wentz and the Eagles, and

162
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: they played the Cincinnati Bengals without Joe Burrow of course

163
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: at quarterback, but they also had Russell Wilson in those

164
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: three games, and they shut down Russell Wilson in the

165
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. The Giants were trending up and the Cardinals

166
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: were trending down, having lost four of five, including three

167
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: in a row. So to me, the fact they drew

168
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: a line in the metaphorical sand and said, no, this

169
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: is not going to continue. We're going to go on

170
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: the road on the East Coast, play an early game,

171
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: go out there and ball out. And they did, and

172
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: they won the game. One hundred and fifty nine total

173
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: yards for the Giants. Oh think about that. You know

174
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: against Seattle they ran for a buck ninety and so

175
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals sent them to seventy eight rush yards. On

176
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: third down they were just three to twelve. Cardinal's dominated

177
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: time possession thirty eight twenty two. And then after the game,

178
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: remember what Kyler Murray said, quote, there's still a lot

179
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: out there yeah, and I think we're still waiting for that.

180
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: The defense balled out obviously and they got the game balls.

181
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: But on offense, Wolf, We're still waiting for that complete game,

182
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: that breakout game, aren't we? Yeah, we are, Polly. But

183
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: I loved what I saw. I absolutely loved what I

184
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: saw last week. There was an expansion of the football universe.

185
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm talking about, Polly, Right, They're

186
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: just taking Kyler Murray and sticking them under center. Double

187
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: digit snaps under center. We have not seen that ball.

188
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: To my recollection, we have not seen anything close to that.

189
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: Double digit snaps of Kyler Murray under center. That to

190
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: me was huge. It had a positive impact on the game.

191
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: They converted some third downs. As a matter of fact,

192
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: what Kyler Murray under centered third downs that were important

193
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: using plays play action, I should say to move the chain.

194
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: I remember a third and two as a matter of fact,

195
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: where there was a play action fake and then Kyler

196
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: Murray pulled up in the pocket a little deep set

197
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: in the pocket, a seven step drop, and then hit

198
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins on a drag on a third and two

199
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: against zone cover. That moved the chains. They got points

200
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: out of that possession and then of course to Max

201
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: Williams down near the goal line a critical third and three.

202
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: They used play action and a rollout for Kyler Murray

203
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: off of that play action and hit Max Williams and

204
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: the flat paul I mean, this is stuff that is

205
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: an expansion of the football universe. And they also put

206
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: him in pistol shotgun. They had twenty one personnel in

207
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: the shotgun, two backs, one on either side of Kyler Murray,

208
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: with a tight ended two wide receivers. We saw stuff

209
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: that was just different from the Cardinals, and I love

210
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: that make the defense worry about all of it, Paulieu.

211
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: And for all that dominance in the first half, it

212
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: was still a six nothing game midway through the second quarter,

213
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: and a real turning point in the game was third

214
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: and goal of the seven and Kylo is getting pressured

215
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: right up the middle and boom, he's on a back

216
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: pedal and he's got one choice, and he followed the

217
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: advice of our next guest, went in out, just throw

218
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: it on I'm six six, I don't care if there's

219
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: four dvs around me. Throw it where only I can

220
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: get it. And that's exactly what Dan Arnold did and

221
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna join us next. He has four touchdowns in

222
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: his last four games. And our very special guests when

223
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: we come back on the big Red Rage presented by

224
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: Santan Forard in Gilbert third and goal on the seven.

225
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: Three receivers right, Hopkins in one on one coverage wide

226
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: to the left, snapped to Murray backing up in trouble,

227
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: throws it back of the end zone. Arnold jumps up

228
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: into the air and catches it for a touchdown. There

229
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: are four Giants in the area. It looked like Murray

230
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: might be just throwing that ball away, but Arnold up

231
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: into the air, wrapped it for a tuckdown. When picks

232
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: fly Baby throve the pig into the air against the

233
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: blitz by the Giants. Dan Arnold in the back of

234
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: the head zone and Kyler Murray just flicked the pig

235
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: into the air and it flew and came down in

236
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: the arms of Dan Arnold. Third and goal of the seven.

237
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: It made it a thirteen nothing game. Cardinals on their

238
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: way to a big win in New York in the

239
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Big Apple. And there I was Ron Wilfully sitting in

240
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: that empty stadium, and when I saw that play, I

241
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: thought of the anecdotal information. The first mention of Dan

242
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Arnold we got late last season because we started hearing, hey,

243
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: you know what, the Cardinals have picked up this tight end.

244
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: He's six six, he's from the Saints, and he's just

245
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: moss and people in practice, and I'm thinking, Wow, that's

246
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: what they're talking about right there. That was the first

247
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: impression that Dan Arnold must have made on Cliff Kingsbury

248
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: and the staff, and it came to fruition again against

249
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: the Giants, and now he joins us here on the

250
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Dan.

251
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: How are you doing the sevening? I'm doing pretty well.

252
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: How are you guys? We're doing good. Danny, really appreciate

253
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: your time. Man. Take us through that touchdown against the Giants. Man,

254
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: how did you feel, big guy? Yeah, it was pretty

255
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: exciting playing in the last It was just, you know,

256
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: I got one of those kind of scene back Red

257
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Jim scenes in the back and Kyler is able to

258
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: put it up there, and you know, it's just one

259
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: of those things kind of playing basketball. Just go up

260
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: and get it, make sure nobody else can touch it.

261
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: Were you the primary read on that? How did that

262
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: break down or was that more Kyler saying, oh man,

263
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: here comes the double barrel blitz up the middle. I

264
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of this. Um. You know, it's it's

265
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of funny because sometimes you talk about primary reads

266
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: and stuff on place. I actually like with Kyler, He've

267
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: got trust and I think all the receivers around that

268
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: are on the team, and you can be a primary

269
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: read in any given look. So you just gotta be

270
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: ready to be able to make a play for him,

271
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: and you know that's kind of happen. So Danny talked

272
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: to us a little bit about twenty twenty and how

273
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: you think the season has gone for you personally. Yeah, um,

274
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, I said, it's it's it's been kind of

275
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: ups and downs for me personally, just kind of you know,

276
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: when I was at the Saints, I was kind of

277
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: bumping up on practice squad and you know, I'd never

278
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: really consistently played in games. So this year has definitely

279
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: been a challenge just for you know, going through playing

280
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: all the games and getting you know, a consistent amount

281
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: of snaps. So it's been a challenge just you know,

282
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: just trying to figure that out and you know, stepping

283
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: up in the next role that that I knew that

284
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in. So um yeah, I mean

285
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: as I played it, you can't you can't really knock

286
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: it for having a couple of touchdowns the last couple

287
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: of games, and that's been pretty exciting. So it's it's

288
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: glad to finally see some of that hard work really

289
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: kind of jumping to where you want to be. And

290
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: you're downplaying that a little bit. It's all about you,

291
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold, presented by satan Ford and Gilbert. That's four

292
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last four games, including those two against

293
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: the Rams. Has something changed here recently? You tell me?

294
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know, something changed with your role,

295
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: your snaps, your targets. What does a vault here late

296
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: in the season. Um, No, I don't think it was

297
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: really anything changed. I think we've you know, it's been

298
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: kind of the the get go from from the start,

299
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: and uh, you know what I've been doing, and it

300
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: just you know, it's happened to finally hit pater in

301
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks, and you know, being able

302
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: to make those plays I think is something that's only

303
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: going to you know, help lose my confidence and get

304
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: me ready for more that's going to come. Hey, Dan,

305
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: where is this offense right now? As you look at

306
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: this offense and you critique the offense and the entire year,

307
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: where is it right now and where do you see

308
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: it going? Yeah? I think I think we have a

309
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: lot of rooms for growth. You know. I think just

310
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: having you know, new faces like the hop added this year,

311
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: and you know, just trying to figure out how's the

312
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: best we can put each of these different players and

313
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, their best position to be successful. And I think,

314
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, any Cliff came in last year, you know,

315
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: and so it's only a second year, there's always going

316
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: to be room for growth. And I think that's kind

317
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: of been the m for this entire seasons. Then you know,

318
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: we're doing we're doing some really good things. We're doing

319
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: some awesome things. But you know the thing that I

320
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: really like about Cliff is that he's never satisfied and

321
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: he always wants to he always wants to be pushing

322
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: the bombers even more and getting the most out of

323
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: everybody and being able to, you know, have success for everybody.

324
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: And I think, you know it's gonna come. It's gonna come.

325
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: We're just we're just tapping into our potential right now.

326
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: I think your role in this offense. Obviously in the

327
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: red zone you're a big weapon. But we also saw

328
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: that fifty nine yard opening possess and catch in touchdown.

329
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: It was the longest by Cardinals tight end since Jackie Smith,

330
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: who was sixty eight yards against Dallas in nineteen seventy two.

331
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: By the way, Jackie Smith Hall of Famer Jackie Smith

332
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: initials h O up on that one. When you're at

333
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: your best, how are you being utilized in this offense?

334
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: Do you think? Because they think a lot of people

335
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: think ten personnel and four receivers and they tend to

336
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: think maybe tight end as an afterthought. But you've proved

337
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: that otherwise the last month or so. Yeah, I think,

338
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, just the things that I know that I

339
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: bring to the table. You know, it's just a guy

340
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: who can who can get out and run um and

341
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: do it pretty well, but also be a big frame somewhere.

342
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: You know, Kyla can kind of put the ball anywhere

343
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: in some space and I'm going to be able to

344
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: find it and make the catch. Um. Just one of

345
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: those things that kind of you know, we look we

346
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: looked for mismatches, whether it would be against a linebacker

347
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: that's necessarily not going to be able to keep up

348
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: this under the speed, or a dB who I'm just

349
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: going to have a little bit more length to be

350
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: able to attack the balls. So I think, you know,

351
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: just just being able to get out in space, being

352
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: able to run, that's kind of kind of always been

353
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: my forte and and you know, I think that's that's

354
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: just gonna come more. And Wolf here was Kyler after

355
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: the game, and uh, you know, he was sort of

356
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: building on what Dan just told us and what his

357
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: philosophy is. When he sees big Dan Arnold, it's six

358
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: foot six Kyler. I mean he says it all the time,

359
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: but the fact that I see him do it adds confidence. Um,

360
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: I just try to give him a chance foot to world.

361
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: He can get it. He's super athletic, fast jumps, high,

362
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: got great hands. So I was just trying to give

363
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: him a chance to make a play. And when you

364
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: say get out and run, you ran track at Division

365
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: three Wisconsin Plattfill, didn't you? Because we googled you up

366
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: and are you the Dan Arnold who finished first and

367
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten hurdles in one meet and then

368
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: also through the javelin like one hundred and sixty feet?

369
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: Is that you that, Dan Arnold? Yeah? Yeah I did.

370
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: I had some glory Davis back right check. I mean

371
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: we'll think about that. That gives you some serious credit

372
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: in the locker room. That means you could have survived

373
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: on the walls of thermobili ball. So I mean, let

374
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: me let me just say this daddy right here. Um,

375
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: what's it like to you to play with Kyler Murray? Yeah,

376
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: obviously you've got to build a chemistry and a trust

377
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: with your quarterback. But what's it like for you personally

378
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: to play with Kyler? Yeah? Um, I think it's it's

379
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: kind of inspiring, to be honest sometimes because a player

380
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: like Kyler just brings such a crazy dynamic to the game,

381
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: especially the quarterback position. Um. And I think so many

382
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: times it's just the coolest thing to just sit and

383
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: sit back and watch and be like, oh, he's just

384
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: making plays lesson right, whether it be throwing the ball

385
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: or um, you know, putting it on a dime to receivers,

386
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: or he's just you know making plays with the speed.

387
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: Being able to kind of be a part of that

388
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: is than pretty special. But I think the thing that

389
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm most excited for for him is just to see

390
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: where that's going to take him in the next couple

391
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: of years, because the kids just getting started, you know,

392
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: and that's that's that's where your brain is like, Wow,

393
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: this this is going to be crazy to see, you

394
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yes, Dan, Where could a guy

395
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: like me get a javelin? If I brought a jablin

396
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: out to practice with a camera crew for the Cardinals?

397
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: Could we get forget the throwing a football around the field.

398
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: Could we get you to throw a jablin once everybody

399
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: leaves the field, you're the only guy out there. Would

400
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: you do that for him? Um? Yeah, I mean I

401
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: don't see jab A couple of times I was, I

402
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: was a big hurdler. Um, But yeah, it's it's kind

403
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: of similar to throwing a football, but you just you're

404
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: stopping all of your body weight and momentum all at

405
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: one time and trying to create a snap. So it's

406
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: actually pretty pretty taxing on the body, and a lot

407
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: of guys in pretty pretty banged up from it. Maybe

408
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: we'll wait till after a playoff front Wolf, you know,

409
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: and can you make that happen? Wolf? That would be

410
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: prudent thing. Paul. Yeah, get we don't need to be coach.

411
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: We're doing with the javelin. But you can get over

412
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: a sporting goods store. You work on that. Wolf asked

413
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: for a javelin from Santa for Christmas, and then we'll

414
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: make that happen. Okay, yeah, right, Polly. Wherever we continue

415
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: with Dan Arnold in the big Red Rage presented by

431
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network Voice of the Cardinals Day Pass

432
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: analyst Ron Wolfe Yours truly, Paul kelvc here on the

433
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert, Now,

434
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: wolf would you say Kyler Murray has targets at his disposal?

435
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: Because there's this stat that came out earlier this afternoon.

436
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. Deontay Johnson, the

437
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: Steelers young receiver who's a talented guy, you know, but

438
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: he's had a tough year. He has twelve drops this

439
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: year as a receiver. The Arizona Cardinals as a team

440
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: have ten. So there are some sure hands on this team,

441
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: whether you're talking about d hop, whether you're talking about fits. Obviously,

442
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: right we're talking to Dan Arnold, and you know, Dan,

443
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: you tell us because when Kyler says after that Giants game,

444
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: we left a lot out there, would you agree with that?

445
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: Is that a sentiment that kind of vibe that kind

446
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: of goes and permeates through the entire office. You guys

447
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: are still waiting for that complete breakout game. Yeah, I

448
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: would agree with that, um kind of how I was

449
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: speaking Neary and I think, I think it's just it's

450
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: going to come. But we just got to put our

451
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: heads down and support Canon and they'll be there. So Danny,

452
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: you're sitting around, you're watching tape, Paul wig Long, you're

453
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: looking at the Philadelphia Eagles. Tell me about the Philadelphia

454
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: Eagles defense. Yeah, Um, they got a pretty tough front. Uh.

455
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: You know, they like to play their run and they're

456
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty physical in the box. Um, and you know,

457
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: they got pretty good secondary. They kind of stick to

458
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 1: the rules what they're going to do, and they do

459
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: it pretty well. Um. I think I think it's just

460
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: going to be about us this game, to be honest.

461
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just going to come out with a

462
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: lot of energy and played for the capability that we

463
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: can play at, and I think we're going to success.

464
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: Last week, Cliff Kingsbury told us on his TV show

465
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: Game Plan, he said the Vibe had practice going to

466
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: the Giants game. He since the team was angry. Larry

467
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: Today use the word hungry. How would you describe this

468
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: December mentality right now? What you see. How how do

469
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: you like the week of practice so far and how

470
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: it's tracked. Yeah, I think we've had a really great

471
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: we could practice, um you know, high energy, which is

472
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: something that I think is really important to us being

473
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: able to start fast. And I would agree with Larry

474
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: that this team is very hungry to be to be

475
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: what were capable of. It's like that light at the

476
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: end of the tunnel that we all see, but it's

477
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: just like, gosh, dank, we got to get there. And

478
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, December is always a big month because you

479
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: only got limited games left, and I think with that mentality,

480
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: you kind of realize that it's either win or go home.

481
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: So I think it'll be pretty interesting to see. Danny,

482
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: are you feeling that, I mean, are you sensing that

483
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: in the locker room that everyone understands the import of

484
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: this game right now? December football is here. Of course

485
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: you've got three games left. Are you guys actually talking

486
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: about it to each other in the locker room? Yeah? Absolutely,

487
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: I think everybody's you know, we've we've kind of come

488
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: together in these past couple of weeks, and I think

489
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: what you saw with is with the Giants was kind

490
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: of the beginning where it was like, hey, let's get

491
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: everybody on the same page. And when that happened, we

492
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: got we got to win. And now that we've seen that,

493
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: it's only going to help us in the next couple

494
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: of weeks to get to where we want to be.

495
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: May have taken the words out of Larry's mouth. We'll see.

496
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: He was talking to the media and it was talking

497
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: about December football, and here's what he had to say. Remember,

498
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals haven't made the playoffs since twenty fifteen. Playing

499
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: meaningful games in December is always fun. I mean, every

500
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: single one is of the most importance. We have zero

501
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: margin for error right now, and I think everybody understands

502
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: that there's a great since urgency. I think everybody since

503
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: is it and they understand it. You're going to see

504
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: the pep and guy step that's been different from years past.

505
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: We've been out of contention. When you see a Philly

506
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: team that's number two to the Steelers in overall sacks

507
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: forty three and the way they were able to pressure

508
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill last week, I mean we're talking about a quarterback.

509
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: Was some mobility and that was like the second highest pressure.

510
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: Right The Saints have given up since twenty sixteen, a

511
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: team you know very well as a former Saint. How

512
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: impressive was that to you what the Eagles did on defense?

513
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: Because everyone's talking about Jail and hurtson rightfully, so, but

514
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: it's at other side of the ball. They shut down

515
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: that potent Saints offense. Yeah. Like I said, you know,

516
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: they're they're one of those defenses that just plays physical

517
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: and they just what they do, they do right, and

518
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: they try to minimize their mistakes. And um, you know,

519
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: when you got a defense that's kind of clicking on

520
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: that level, they're definitely going to be a tough adversary. So, Danny,

521
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: if you're going to do one thing to beat that

522
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: Eagles defense, what do you need to do above all else? Um?

523
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: I think you know, like I said earlier, I think

524
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: it's just going to be about us minimizing our mistakes

525
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: what we do, um, not letting drives be delayed because

526
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: of those mistakes. And you know, we live off big plays.

527
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: It's always been something that we've kind of been able

528
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: to leave lean our shoulder hunt and when guys are

529
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: out there, they got their heads straight and everybody's working

530
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: together and we can live off those big plays. And

531
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the energy just explodes and then

532
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: that's when our offense is truly shining. Speaking of exploding,

533
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: is Fletcher Cox still destroying people on the football field?

534
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: Is he still destroying I mean he's seen when I

535
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: watched tape that looks like he is. Yeah, he's definitely.

536
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's still got that year. Um. You know,

537
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: I played him a couple of times in New Orleans

538
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: and it was always it was always a you know,

539
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: one of the main speaking points. So it'll be it'll

540
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. You know, a number of guys

541
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: had talked recently, Chase Edmond, d J. Humphreys, Kelvin Beecham

542
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: about the adjustment defenses had made to Kyler, in particular

543
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: with these mush rush, five man fronts, zone coverage, all

544
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: eyes on Kyler. What do you guys do last week?

545
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: Do you feel like maybe you solve that to a

546
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: certain degree and now gave defense is a little something

547
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: extra to think about. Yeah, I think, you know, we

548
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: played really great, complimentary football last week, which definitely helped us.

549
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: And you know, kind of like how I said, when

550
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: we're making big plays and having all that energy come

551
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: to us, when we get that from the defensive side

552
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: of the ball too, Like you see offensive guys in

553
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: the sideline getting hyped and like ready to go, and

554
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: that only just helps the entire team to get to,

555
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, the win. Hey, a reminder of the Cardinals,

564
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: One of the great parts of Dan Arnold's story, and

565
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: by the way, he did play in the NFC Championship

566
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: Game with the Saints against the La Rams the year

567
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: the Rams went to the Super Bowl against the Patriots,

568
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: is that he's a Division three guy from Wisconsin. Plattville. Yeah,

569
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: and you have a memory from Platteville, Yeah, then you

570
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: have no choice. It will come up on next as

571
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: we continue here on the Big Red Rag Santan four

572
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: in Gilbert Hardball. What an effort by Dan Arnold adjusting

573
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: to that ball and then laying out for it. Incredible effort. Man.

574
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: They love this kid when they got him. He is

575
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: out of Wisconsin, Platteville. He was claimed off waivers last

576
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: year from the Saints. I once fought Richard Dent and

577
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: Platteville was guns and lost. Although you told me you

578
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: made him squeal right, Well, I hit him under the chin.

579
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: I hit him under the chin in practice. Then it

580
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: was over and I think one point three seconds I

581
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: was destroyed. Super Bowl MVP and apparently a pretty good fighter,

582
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, Wolf a ten year career, four Pro Bowls.

583
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure I respect anything more about your

584
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: playing days and the fact that you actually had the

585
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: audacity to fight big Richard Den, a guy nicknamed the Colonel.

586
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: You actually thought you had a shot, that's right by

587
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: hit him right under the gin on a wham block

588
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: and Plattville, Wisconsin with the Cleveland Browns practicing with the

589
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, and he went ye, got him writing into

590
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: the chin right there, and he didn't like it. Ball Well,

591
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: a guy who has much more fond memories of Plattville

592
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: would be the product of Wisconsin Plattville Division three football

593
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: and track. We're visiting with Dan Arnold here on the

594
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage. You know what, speaking of physicality and

595
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: and and dare I say fisticuffs? You know, how nasty

596
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: does it get when as a tight end? I don't

597
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: know in this offense, how often are you flexed out?

598
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: How often are you asked to block? And and Dan?

599
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, how often are you just in the middle

600
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: of a scrum at the line of scrimmage? Um? You know,

601
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: I probably not nearly as much in Max, that's for sure. Um,

602
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, if he's pretty n see, that was kind

603
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: of my Uh, that's kind of what I learned pretty

604
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: pretty quickly when I made the transition to tight end.

605
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: My Danny, do you enjoy that? I mean, honestly, do

606
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: you enjoy tapping into the primal side? Oh? Yeah, I

607
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: mean I absolutely love, you know, being being in the

608
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: in the scream of it. And uh, you know, I

609
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: grew up in Wisconsin, so you know, playing tough most

610
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: football it was kind of what was bred into me.

611
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: So it's definitely one of the more enjoyable aspects of football. Fact,

612
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Cliff tells a story. If I'm not mistaken that you're

613
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: the guy who wears this helmet during walkthrough? Is that accurate? Yeah,

614
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: I would wear my helmet, especially now because we have

615
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: to wear these like these masks at the time during walkthrough.

616
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: So sometimes it's easier to just wear your helmet because

617
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: then put on the mask, you know. You know, Danny,

618
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: we've been talking about the fact that you played football

619
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: and ran track at the University of Wisconsin Platteville. What

620
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: was your high school career like? Um, So, high school

621
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: was kind of interesting. I guess I don't know. I

622
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: guess I didn't really hit a growth spirit until later

623
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: in high school. So it's kind of that's like, how sorry,

624
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: I say it again, how late? Um, I didn't grow Shoot,

625
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: I probably hit my girls squit when I was like

626
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: at junior in high school. Really that's kind of why

627
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: I didn't really get a whole lot of recruiting. Hm.

628
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: How much did you grow in that junior year? Oh? Gosh,

629
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: I think I came in at like five eight and

630
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: then by the end of the year, I was like

631
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: six three. How disappointed were you Dan when you were drafted?

632
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: How disappointed were you? Um? It was kind of one

633
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: of those things that I definitely start coming. Um but

634
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I knew that coming from a small school, you're gonna

635
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: have to work regardless whether you are drafted or not.

636
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: So um, but I definitely opened up opportunities for me

637
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: to kind of I went to two rocky mini camps,

638
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: had childhood both, got sent home from both, and then

639
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: it kind of just from there. It was like, Okay,

640
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: if you really love this thing, then you're they're going

641
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: to do it or you're not. So um, you know,

642
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: the same ending up calling me back after the tryout,

643
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks later, and I was

644
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: be able to have another opportunity. So here's here's the

645
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: good news, Dan that when we googled up notable University

646
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin Plattville alumni, our Jim one hundred, did a

647
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: little research and your name boom right there on the

648
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: short list, along with Todd Schultz, the director of the

649
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: Jerry Springer Show. I don't know if you knew that. Um, well,

650
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: if you're guy former Cardinals offensive assistant Jeep Christ just

651
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: a Qub's coach, I yeah, nineteen eighty seven. And well,

652
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: if don't deny that you don't know about this one

653
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: because there's a good item from the Wisconsin Platform Wikipedia page,

654
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: and I quote this city has a large number of taverns,

655
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: mainly on Second Street. So well, if don't act like

656
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: you didn't go to those towns, I think that's Jim

657
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's story actually happened to those taverns back in the day.

658
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, Hardball sitting there where we're late for Turfew,

659
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: and he finally finally left and got us home. The

660
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: problem was he drove to his dorm and not our dorm,

661
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: and we had to run three hundred yards across an

662
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: open field with no fighting. Talk about running too the darkness.

663
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: Don't get me started on that, Paul, are you kidding me?

664
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: These memories? Are sorry about that that you had to

665
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: endure that right here, Dan, but talked to me a

666
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: little bit about when you didn't get drafted and you

667
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: came in. Has your NFL career gone the way you

668
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: thought it would go? Cool? That's that's a tough question.

669
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: I would say my NFL career has gone exactly how

670
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: it should have gone. And I, you know, I came

671
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: into this thing, I didn't have anybody to talk to.

672
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: You didn't really know anybody that had played in the league.

673
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: So I kind of was like, I don't even know

674
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: what to expect, to be honest, but I think everything

675
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: that has happened and which for a reason, and it's

676
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: prepared me for everything that's going to come next. Well,

677
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: speaking of next, your head coach was asked about your potential.

678
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: Here's Cliff Kingsbury. He's had a unique road to the

679
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: tight end position and he's still learning the ins and out,

680
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: the strength to get down on the D line and

681
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: be able to hold your own with the D lineman

682
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: and then be able to run you know, routes that

683
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: you can set up around cornerbacks like the Kelsey's and

684
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: the Kittles and the Grons. He has a work ethic

685
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: for it. I know he wants it, and I wouldn't

686
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: put anything past him. What's your confidence that you're on

687
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: the ascension and there's still a lot of potential to

688
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: be developed in your game? Yeah, you know, obviously in

689
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: the run game, there's always going to be stuff that

690
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we need to get better with this.

691
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: But I'm confident that I, you know, I'm gonna work

692
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: my tail off just because that's how I when I

693
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: came in the league day one. That's just the mentality

694
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: that I had to be in order to get where

695
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: I wanted to go. So it's never going to be

696
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: something that I'm going to be satisfied with. And I'm

697
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: just kind of one of those people that's that's going

698
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 1: to put their nose down and and grind and sup

699
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: working until you know, you you see the results that

700
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: you want to see and whether it be realistic or not,

701
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: it's just that's that's what I want to do. Having

702
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: said that, Danny, I mean, you're you're twenty five years old.

703
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: Where do you see your career at thirty? When you're

704
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: thirty years old? Where do you think you're going to

705
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: be in regard to playing time, starter, backup, still playing

706
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: the game of foot? Where do you see yourself at thirty? Uh? Yeah,

707
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you know, with with luck and and

708
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: some good things going my way, I'm still going to

709
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: be playing, you know in five years. Um, but I

710
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: you know, I just I just want to be I

711
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: see myself becoming a football player that I want to

712
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: be at tight end that's going to be more rounded,

713
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: that can you know, be playing on every down and um,

714
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: someone who can contribute a lot to the run game,

715
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: but also contribute to the past and just being a

716
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: complete tight end. That's kind of where I want to.

717
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: Where I want to get to, where the coach isn't

718
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: gonna be like, hey, we got to pull them off

719
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: the field and let somebody else and because you can't

720
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: do that. That's kind of been one of my things.

721
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't like when people tell me I can't do something,

722
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: because my immediate reaction is like, Okay, well I'm going

723
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: to prove you're wrong. That's awesome, man. You know, I

724
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: take a lot of rising ribbing and insults quite frankly

725
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: from Ron Wolfley, and that's what he used to do

726
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: in his days. He sit in the training room and

727
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: he'd lob insults and Dan I couldn't help. But notice

728
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: after the game you were given one of your teammates

729
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: a hard time for what you said looked like a

730
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: pencil case hanging off his backpack from fifth grade. And

731
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, you know, are you a guy who's

732
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: more app to kind of give than receive. Are usually

733
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: on the offensive, you know when it comes to some

734
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: of that locker room banner. Yeah, I think that's tight end.

735
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: Group that we have is a pretty close knit group.

736
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: So I think you kind of always got to be

737
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: on your defensive and be ready to make some shots

738
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: if you need to, just to keep everybody at bay, um,

739
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: just because it's always flying around with us. And I

740
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: think this team too, we're pretty good at, you know,

741
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: keeping it loose, but also being you know, able to

742
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: concentrate and get get done what we need to get done.

743
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: But it's it's this team is a is an awesome

744
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: group and it's a pretty unique group, that's for sure.

745
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of keeping everybody at bay, are you good at

746
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: social distancing day? Ye? Any good at this? Um? Yeah?

747
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: My wife likes to, uh, she has to get on

748
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: me once you think I'm stepping a little bit out

749
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: of bound um. But yeah, this year has been it's

750
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: been an adjustment for me, especially because I like to

751
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: just be around people and you know, having having conversations

752
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: with people and having people over and stuff like that.

753
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's been. It's been a challenge for me,

754
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Well, there you go. That's why it's

755
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: good in traffic. Well, that's why there were four dvs

756
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 1: in the end zone in New York and boom, there's

757
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold. He's been in traffic. He doesn't mind the crowd.

758
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: I am glad you are here, man. I thank you

759
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: so much for joining us and spending some time with us.

760
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate your brother flaws there. I appreciate being here. You go. Okay,

761
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 1: there you go, Dan Arnold. What a great way we'll

762
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: wrap up the big Red rage next. All brought to

763
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: you by Santan Ford in Gilbert. This could be the game.

764
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: Fourth down in one handoff height tower, running right and

765
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: get to the outside and he's got the first own

766
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: of the forty five and pushed out of bounds. Rose

767
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: a slant of fits caught at the thirty inside of

768
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: the twenty five and down of the twenty three. It's

769
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: a game of about eighteen. In the first down for

770
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Surry Fitzgerald is literally trying to will this

771
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: team to victory. Right now, humps right those back to

772
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: the left heights. Awer caught at the ten cuts left

773
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: of the five height tower to the goal line. Down

774
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Great take the leave, but two fifty three

775
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: to go pick up by docket Ducket inside the ten

776
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: shits it. The Cardinals de shot the world. Right, true,

777
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: They're going to Super Bowl. How do you not still

778
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: get chills up and down your spine. I'm instantly transported.

779
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: That's the loudest I've ever heard State Farm Stadium. Far, none,

780
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: no other game. That confetti coming down. Literally, long time

781
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans, grown men and women, brought to tears in

782
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: the front row of the stands. That I remember that visual,

783
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: just the snapshots mister b hoisting the trophy, you know,

784
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: the exhilaration. And it's a series that goes back to

785
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty five Eagles and Cardinals one eighteenth meeting Wolf.

786
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: You used to play against him twice a year back

787
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: on that cement. That was a veteran stadium, you guys,

788
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: go back there. But here comes an Eagles team and

789
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: as the headline screamed in the Philadelphia Inquirer after they

790
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: snapped that four game skid, hurts so good, Jalen hurts.

791
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: And it just appears to be a different team. Obviously

792
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: the scheme is different, but it looks like everybody is

793
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: playing differently, and they're playing behind this rookie quarterback, which

794
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: you agree with that? Look, yeah, film no, there's no doubt.

795
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: Polly and again You've heard me say this for so long,

796
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: but offensive football provides hope to a football team. Hope.

797
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, you get down in a game, you get

798
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: down two possessions maybe, and yet you believe in your

799
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: quarterback and you believe the offense can actually bring you back.

800
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: And if you go back and look at that Saints

801
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: game where the Eagles got a lead in that game, boy,

802
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: you could just see the defense starting to rally around

803
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and the fact that they actually had a

804
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: lead in a game against the Saints, it provided hope

805
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: for a football team. Listen, you know what, honestly I

806
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: think of this game coming up against the Eagles, Polly,

807
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: and all I can think of is protecting Kyler Murray.

808
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: You protect the football. If you protect Kyler Murray, you

809
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: have to protect him, keep him clean in the pocket.

810
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: This is the number one team in the NFL and

811
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 1: sacks per attempt, that being the Philadelphia Eagles. They get

812
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: after you, they got a great pass rush, They've got

813
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of quality defensive lineman guys of course, like

814
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: Derek Bennett's, Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham. These are guys that

815
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 1: we know their names. They're pros. They do a great job.

816
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: The offensive line in protecting Kyler Murray is job one.

817
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: You protect Kyler Murray, you protect the football, and if

818
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: you protect the football, I think the Cardinals should win

819
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: this game. Well, I guess that answers my question. What

820
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 1: scares you most about the Eagles? That's the defensive side

821
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: of the ball. On an offense, you have a Saints

822
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: team that hadn't allowed one hundred yard rusher in fifty

823
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: five games. They allowed two. Right, Miles Sanders and Jalen

824
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: Hurts and Vance Joseph talked about it. Today, You're talking

825
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: about a quarterback who ran for seven first downs in

826
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: that game. Yes, that's all got to flip it around, PAULI.

827
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, and this is a question today,

828
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: the fact that Cardinals have Kyler Murray and the defense

829
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: is familiar with Kyler Murray, even though the ones don't

830
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: go against the ones in the regular season. How much

831
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: does that help the Cardinals? He tasted, right, without a doubt, PAULI. Yeah,

832
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: this is the reason why we talked to Cliff Kingfrey.

833
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: I asked him, are you gonna be in that coach's office.

834
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: You're gonna be in the defensive coordinator's office just a

835
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: little bit more because he can help him with a

836
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: dual thread quarterback in an offense that is being run

837
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know. I would imagine they're gonna

838
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 1: have extended conversations and have already had those extended conversations

839
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: in regard to how to stop Jalen Hurts and the

840
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: Eagles offense. Well, Sean Payne said after the game, he

841
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: was impressive just watching him. I thought he played with poise,

842
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: made some throws. He was smart, He did a good job.

843
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: He wasn't Carson Wentz. He didn't turn the ball over.

844
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: Eagles got to win. There's still in contention for the playoffs.

845
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: At four eight and one. Cardinals are in the playoffs

846
