It just sold for seven 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 5: hundred and eighteen thousand dollars, okay. And if the NFL 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 5: can radically revise the kickoff rule, I know you have 31 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 5: an opinion on that, we'll get into that. And if 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 5: a former NFLGM can say the Cardinals are doing what 33 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 5: at number four and with Kyler Murray, well we can 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 5: get into all that. Here on the Big Red Rage, 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 5: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert we are Santan Ford, 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 5: Paul Calvin, Ron Wolfley, soon to be joined by the 37 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 5: voice of the Cardinals, Dave Pash. He has seen and 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 5: broadcast a lot of these top prospects games. Always great 39 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 5: to catch up with Dave this time of year. But 40 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 5: wolf seriously, there is a lot of madness out there 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 5: when it comes to these mock drafts and everything associated 42 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 5: with what's coming our way a month from now. 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI, there really is, and you're starting to see 44 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: some pretty crazy stuff out there. Like the Arizona Cardinals 45 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: are gonna go ahead and draft JJ McCarthy at number 46 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: four and then trade Kyler Murray after that. Now, look, okay, 47 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: if that happens, I'll give you all of your do 48 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: I'll give you all of the credit right there. But 49 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: my goodness, I do not see that happening under any circumstance. So, Paul, 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: I think there's a little clickbait that is out there 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: as well. 52 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, that belongs to Mike Tannenbaum ESPN, former Patriots general 53 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 5: manager or Jets general manager, I should say so. I 54 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 5: mean in that equation, well, basically it boils down to this, 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 5: you end up with JJ McCarthy and Lad mcconkee at 56 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 5: number twenty seven when you could have had Kyler Murray 57 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 5: in Marvin Harrison Junior. 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: That's right. 59 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 5: I mean, it just makes zero sense on zero levels. 60 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 5: But it makes the draft great. It's why the TV 61 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 5: ratings are through the roof, and it's why we're talking 62 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 5: about it this time of year. 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt, Paul, it really is. I'm so excited. 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: You can see it to the Arizona Cardinals going out 65 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: and addressing some real needs that they had. Of course, 66 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: in free agency and now you're focusing on the draft 67 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: going forward. Right now, there are still going to be 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: some free agent signings. It's interesting when you still look 69 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: at some of the free agents that are out there 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Man, there's some big names 71 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: that are still out there, some guys that you might 72 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: be interested in. But man, the focus now really shifts 73 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: to those young guys in the twenty twenty four NFL Draft. 74 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 5: We're gonna stay pass for his impressions, what stood out 75 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 5: to him for the Cardinals and free agency, and Cardinals 76 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 5: spent a lot of money. We'll tell you the numbers 77 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 5: in that. But right now, it was the league meetings 78 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 5: this week. Every single team, every single GM and head 79 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 5: coach was at those meetings and during a breakfast session 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 5: with the media. Yeah, Jonathan Gannon, we'll get into that 81 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: a little bit. But it was Sean Payton who initially 82 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 5: made some headlines based on what he said to say 83 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 5: about the Cardinal's position at number four. If indeed there 84 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 5: are four quarterbacks and there are more than four quarterback 85 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 5: needy teams, here's Sean Payton, head coach of the Broncos. 86 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 6: I think it's realistic. What's hard to predict though, is 87 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 6: like what's on the receiving end. I think it's good 88 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 6: to be Monty today at Arizona, right, it's hard to 89 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 6: predict what that cost is. And yet I certainly wouldn't 90 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 6: say it's unrealistic. 91 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 3: All right. 92 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 5: He's talking about the trade up coming from twelve in 93 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 5: the Broncos case up to four, or another team like 94 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 5: Minnesota at eleven, the Raiders at thirteen, the Giants at 95 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 5: number six. It just seems to be picking up steam 96 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 5: run wolfully. Combined with the fact that Maniacifort told the 97 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 5: media last week that he's officially open for business. 98 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's open for business right there. I thought what 99 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: Sean Payton said was really really cool. Number one. It's 100 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: the truth, all right, It's good to be Moni, there's 101 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But I also thought, Paul, isn't 102 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: it very very interesting? That is, he's addressing the fact 103 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: that it is realistic the Denver Broncos might move up 104 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: in this draft or could move up in this draft. 105 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: Isn't it interesting that he cited the number four pick. 106 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: That tells me there's no way Denver is targeting the 107 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: number four pick. They're targeting the number three pick Paul, 108 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: That's what I think right there, only because once again, 109 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: why would you ever offer any aid, comfort or shelter 110 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: to the guy that you're in negotiations with for his position. 111 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: You don't want to do that. I think number four 112 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: isn't going to be the Denver Broncos Number three. 113 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 5: Maybe interesting, say, that's an interesting take on that. I 114 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 5: hadn't thought of that that angle. Darren Urban was cuturing 115 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 5: the spring league meetings and he tracked down mantiosa Fort, 116 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 5: who told Darren Urban, well, quote, it was nice of 117 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 5: Sean to notice the position we are in. 118 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 3: End quote. 119 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 5: And then here's what Jonathan Gannon had to say about 120 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 5: the draft and maniasin Fort. 121 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 7: It is good to be money right now. He's in season, 122 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 7: So I leave him alone a little bit. This is 123 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 7: like his baby, So I say, hey, you just do 124 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 7: your thing, man, you just do your thing. We feel 125 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 7: good about it, and obviously we talk, you know, every day, 126 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 7: but I'm I'm excited about. 127 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 3: Where we're at and what we need to add and 128 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 3: the plan to do that. 129 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 7: You know, players get back in the building here in 130 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 7: a less than a month, which would be cool. That 131 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 7: gives me a lot of energy so yeah, excited about 132 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 7: everything that's going on. 133 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 5: So here's the thing. If I'm maniasa fort, I'm telling 134 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 5: Sean Payne in every other potential suitor, guess what, I 135 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 5: got three or four other teams on the line. So 136 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 5: stay tuned, get ready to make me your best offer. 137 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 5: And the key to all this, Ron Wilfley, You've been 138 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 5: saying it for more than a month hashtag let there 139 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 5: be a fourth QB. And when Tom Pelisero of NFL 140 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 5: Network goes on the air this week and said he's 141 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 5: been talking to a lot of different executives around the 142 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 5: league and they all feel like Adam Peters, covets JJ 143 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 5: McCarthy even as high as number two. Well, guess what. 144 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 5: Now it's officially on because there's that fourth quarterback, and 145 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 5: with the Cardinals sitting it for then, you just figure 146 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: they're going to get some serious offers because there are 147 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 5: only two kinds of teams in the NFL, those who 148 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 5: have the franchise quarterback and those who need one. 149 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, Paully, For the most part, we 150 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: haven't hit April yet, but when we do hit April, 151 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: I believe nothing. I believe absolutely nothing that I hear 152 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: out there because of the draft supter fuge. You know 153 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: how I feel about this right now, And you're talking 154 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: about Adam Peters, the general manager of the Washington Commanders. 155 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Of course, at number two. For the longest time, it 156 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: was Drake May, right, it was going to be Caleb Williams, 157 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: and it was going to be Drake May. And then 158 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you heard, well, maybe Jaden Daniels 159 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: is really coming out there to number two. And you 160 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: know what, now it's not Jade and Daniels, Are you 161 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: getting me? It's JJ McCarthy who continues this unbelievable climb 162 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: up draft boards, or at least this is what most 163 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: people are saying that is happening right now. But I 164 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: believe none a bit, Paul. For the most part, Do 165 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: I believe that there might be a team that is 166 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: desperate and is willing to move up at number four 167 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: to get a quarterback. Yeah, I do believe that's the case. 168 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: I do believe, MANI at number four is sitting in 169 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: a catbird seat right now. I do believe the first 170 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: three picks of the draft will be quarterbacks. But man, 171 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: there have been bus in the past as they're not 172 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Christian ponder they have. There has been some serious buss 173 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: in the past. I don't know if you want to 174 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: move up, Trey Lance, if you know what I'm talking about. 175 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 5: Here's all I know. If MANIASB does make a deal, 176 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 5: there's going to be a quarterback surcharge tacked on, a 177 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 5: handling fee tacked on if somebody wants to come up 178 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 5: and pay that price. And you mentioned Jayden Daniels, you 179 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 5: mentioned Melik Neighbors. LSU had its pro day today and 180 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 5: there's Malik Neighbors running a four, three, five, forty and 181 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 5: then NFL Network reporting he is going to have an 182 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 5: individual meeting with the Cardinals. Where we stand right now, Wolf, 183 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 5: and I know you're in the danger zone on Marvin 184 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 5: Harrison Junior, But how close in your estimation would a 185 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 5: Molik Neighbors or Roam a Dunees a B. And if 186 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 5: the Cardinals traded back to let's say six with the Giants, 187 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 5: how satisfied would you be with one of the other 188 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 5: two Big three receivers? 189 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: You know what, Polly, Honestly, I am in the danger 190 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: zone with Marvin Harrison Junior. I love the guy. Yet 191 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: at the same time I am going to admit that 192 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: his approach at the combine and his approach on Pro Day. 193 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: It has soured me a little. It has everyone keeps 194 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: talking about Polly. It's it's all about football that you know. 195 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Senior, his dad of course, and Marvin Harrison. 196 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: This is about football, not training, not running a forty time, 197 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: not going I don't want to do that. This is 198 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: about football. Well, if it's all about football, don't worry 199 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: about where you're drafted, then don't worry about running a time, 200 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: don't worry about falling in the draft. If it's all 201 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: about football, don't worry about it. You've got your entire 202 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: career in front of you to actually go out and 203 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: make the kind of money you want to make. So 204 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: that bothered me. I'd love to see us trade down 205 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: and still move up and get a guy like Malik 206 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: Neighbors at Romadonsay. 207 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 5: Or maybe it's all cover, it's from his agent. It's 208 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 5: really all business because as many have said, he wouldn't 209 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 5: have tested as well as Aroma Dunesay and he's not 210 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 5: going to run a four three five forty by most estimates. 211 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: So if they're going to drop out at number ten, Pauligue, 212 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: he's going to be a top ten pick. 213 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 5: Let's go to Dave Passion all this voice of the Cardinals. 214 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 5: Next in the Big Red Rage presented by Santan forward 215 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:03,479 Speaker 5: in Gilberte. 216 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 8: Hed center, shap of the thirty not a sideline to 217 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 8: the fifty yard line. It's Murphy Bunty to the thirty 218 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 8: to the twenty to the fifteen of his hand, Sean 219 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 8: Murphy Bunting is my hero. Bubbles of all the far 220 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 8: side and it's scooped up. It's picked up by Murphy 221 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 8: Bunting running right to left at the thirty where it 222 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 8: is ball on the ground, Bubbles on. 223 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: The grass, picks up by the Raiders. 224 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 5: To the have a touts down with Nichols. The Raiders 225 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 5: pick it up and rumble in the heads one below 226 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 5: Nichols pressure it get off the edge. 227 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: Sad for the safety Nichols in the zone, who will 228 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: stick to the turf. 229 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: Mack Wilson comes through like a. 230 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: Rocket to tackle from behind. It absolutely ripped by mac Wilson. 231 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 5: That is a sack. 232 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: And mac Wilson fired there on the Brits and got 233 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 3: some a home. 234 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 5: Now, Ron Wolf, I know you have some add issues, okay, 235 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 5: but if you are paying attention. The entirety of that 236 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 5: montage right there, you might have heard a voice. You 237 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 5: might recognize us, your broadcast partner for a good two 238 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 5: decades in there calling a highlight of Sean Murphy bunting. 239 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 5: Welcome back into the Big Red Rage, presented by Santan 240 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 5: Fordy and Gilbert. And welcome to the show, mister Dave Pash, 241 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 5: voice of the Cardinals on that call, a national voice. 242 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 5: And Dave, you've been calling entirely too much basketball these days, 243 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 5: so we're here to talk some football for the next 244 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 5: few minutes. 245 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 3: Okay, good, let's do it. Paulie. 246 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: Are we doing, boys and doing very very good? Thanks 247 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: for joining us, David, all right. 248 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: I'll keep it real simple. Here's a headline in the 249 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 5: Azy Central I saw the other day, and I quote, 250 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 5: are the Arizona Cardinals improved after free agency? Question mark? Dave, 251 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 5: what would you say? 252 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:48,359 Speaker 3: One hundred percent? Yes? I think in general they addressed 253 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: needs and I loved how they went about addressing those needs. 254 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 3: They paid guys, and they did spend money. They paid 255 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 3: guys who are durable and at an age where you 256 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 3: should pay guys. The Cardinals are one of the younger 257 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 3: rosters in the league. But they have guys they've added 258 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 3: that are vets that have played in a lot of games. 259 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 3: Most of the guys they signed they're twenty six to 260 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 3: twenty seven years old, and they played in games and 261 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 3: didn't miss games because of injury. Those are the things 262 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: that really stood out to me. 263 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, David for me as well, I 264 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: look at it and think they had last year, they 265 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: had a lot of depth signing in the offseason, right, 266 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: So they went out and they got some guys that 267 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: were depth players for the most part, and they signed 268 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: them to one year deals. Now you've got starters from 269 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: other teams that I think they targeted guys today's point, 270 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: guys that were really really durable starters though on other 271 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: teams and signed them to three year deals. I think 272 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: that's how I'm going to remember this free agent period 273 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: as opposed to last year's free agent period. 274 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 5: Well, and you know what, you guys are both right, 275 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 5: because Craig grielou crunched the numbers hashtag no math over here, 276 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 5: and last year, to nineteen free agents, the Cardinals committed 277 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 5: thirteen million dollars. This year, so far, to nine free agents, 278 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 5: the Cardinals have committed eighty two million guaranteed, So they 279 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 5: have spend money to both your points. Let me ask 280 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 5: you this much. The fact they went out and they 281 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 5: got Jonah Williams former eleventh pick overall twenty nineteen draft. 282 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 5: Whether he plays the left or the right? You know, 283 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 5: in NFL network says Paris Johnson Junior is going left, 284 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 5: Jonah Williams to go to the right. Do you think 285 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 5: that means, Dave that the Cardinals are not nearly as 286 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 5: apt to draft offensive line in round one. 287 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: At least early Yes. I would say that, you know, 288 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: at number four, if the Cardinals stay at number four, 289 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: which I'm not sure they will because of the number 290 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 3: of phone calls they're gonna get, I don't think they're 291 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: taking an offensive line in there. Interesting, you know, if 292 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: they aren't it for and they trade back, how far 293 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 3: do they trade back? And you know, is that still 294 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: the direction? You know, receiver or corner as opposed to 295 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: offensive line? Now maybe later in the first round. You know, 296 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 3: it depends. It depends on how they view Jonah Williams 297 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: long term. And there's you know, how do they evaluate 298 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: Paris Johnson going forward? Is he right as he left? 299 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: Doesn't matter anymore? Whether you're left or right tackle, you know, 300 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 3: interior offensive line? Is there somebody at guard or center 301 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: that they really like late first round? But yeah, I 302 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 3: don't think early. You're looking offensive line? 303 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: You know right now too, guys, I'd love to get 304 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: both your opinions on this as we talk about the 305 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: draft right now and the possibilities of the draft. How 306 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: do you guys feel about this in regard to the 307 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals actually making a pick at number four, I mean, 308 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: is that something that you guys expect or do you 309 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: think they are going to trade down? What do you 310 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: think the percentages? 311 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 5: Paulie, I'll say this, and I said it for at 312 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 5: least week now. I'm with Dave. I think someone's gonna 313 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 5: make maniasin Ford an offer he can't refuse. I just 314 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 5: think that fourth quarterback is there now with the ascension 315 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 5: of JJ McCarthy, there are too many teams who are 316 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 5: too desperate for a franchise quarterback. Next year's draft class 317 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 5: is not supposed to be that strong at the quarterback position, 318 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 5: So TikTok, I think it's coming. I think they're going 319 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 5: to trade down. It's a matter of how far. I mean, 320 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 5: ideally they could have deal done with the Giants, they 321 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 5: get something significant in return Dave, and then at six 322 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 5: they can still get one of those big three receivers. However, 323 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 5: here's my question to you guys. Do you think this administration, 324 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 5: these decision makers, Money and JG even attach top six 325 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 5: value to the receiver position as a team that was 326 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 5: number four and rushing last year? Do you think they 327 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 5: even value receiver to that degree. 328 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: I think it depends on who it is. I think 329 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 3: the guys that we're talking about, Marvin Harrison, Malik Neighbors, 330 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: maybe to a lesser degree Roma Doonza, But I would 331 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 3: say with Neighbors and Marvin Harrison, yeah, they're worthy of 332 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 3: that pick. But I mean, everything I've heard is probably 333 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 3: similar to what you guys have heard. Quarterbacks are likely 334 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 3: going to be the first four picks. JJ McCarthy's stock 335 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: he threw, he interviewed well, probably interviewed better than anybody. 336 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: His stock is skyrocketed. Now. I don't believe that he 337 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 3: has overtaken Drake May and Jayden Daniels. It's still possible, 338 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: but I just have a hard time seeing though. Given 339 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 3: a quarterback needy, some of these teams are Minnesota, the Raiders, 340 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: the Giants just have a hard time seeing those teams 341 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 3: not identifying one of those four guys. I think we 342 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 3: have to go get that guy. So, yeah, you're gonna 343 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 3: get a ton of phone calls. 344 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: Now. 345 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: The question is, you know, is it one spot? Is 346 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: it two spots? 347 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 9: Back? 348 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: You know, can you do what you did last year? 349 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 3: Can you move down you know, significantly and then jump 350 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: back up. They're gonna be They're gonna be options. And 351 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 3: that's why this draft is fascinating for the Cardinals. 352 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, David, you know, for me once again, that scenario, 353 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking at right now, especially when you're 354 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: talking about eleven, twelve and thirteen, when you're talking about 355 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: the Vikings, you're talking about the Broncos, and you're talking 356 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: about the Raiders at thirteen right there, Man, that seems 357 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: like a sweet spot. I know the Giants. You could 358 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: talk about the Giants as well, but man, it seems 359 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: like that moving down to eleven with the Vikings or 360 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: moving down to even Denver number twelve. Although I thought 361 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: it was interesting that Sean Payton said, you know what, 362 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: it's good to be MANI right now and we're going 363 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: to talk about that momentarily. I know and yet at 364 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: the same time, to me, that's the sweet spot of 365 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: this draft is eleven, twelve, and thirteen and then moving 366 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: back up and maybe getting a rom a doonesay, I 367 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: would be all for that. 368 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 5: It was interesting too that Sean Payne said more than 369 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 5: once it's realistic that they'd be able to trade up. 370 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 5: I take that as you know what Moni means it 371 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 5: when he says we're open for business and a deal 372 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 5: can be done, and if the Cardinals trade down. I 373 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 5: still think the sleeper positions a draft day PASH would 374 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 5: be corner and edge. And one of the great things 375 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 5: about having you on is you called a lot of 376 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 5: these guys games, especially in the SEC tell us about 377 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 5: Dallas Turner and Terry On Arnold arguably the top edge 378 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 5: and corner in this draft. 379 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. We met with Dallas Turner when we 380 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 3: had Alabama earlier this year and obviously very talented. I 381 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 3: just comparing him to Will Anderson, like when we met 382 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 3: with Will Anderson last year. Everything about him, his play, 383 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 3: the type of person he was, his personality, just he 384 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 3: was electric. It just jumped out at you, Dallas Turner. 385 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 3: There are some people think Dallas Turner will be a 386 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 3: better NFL player than Will Anderson. His personality may not 387 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 3: be as dynamic, his leadership style might be different than 388 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 3: Will Anderson, but he's incredibly talented Arnold as well. You know, 389 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: I think Cooley McKinstry got a lot of headlines last year, 390 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: and then I think people realize that maybe the speed isn't, 391 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 3: you know, worthy of a top ten or top fifteen 392 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: pick compared to some of the other guys. But look, Alabama, 393 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: you know, has a rich history of sending players to 394 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 3: the NFL who are NFL ready because they've been in 395 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: an NFL system, not just to Nick Sabment, but the 396 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: way they do everything at Alabama, it's set up for 397 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 3: college players to make the jump. And so if you 398 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: draft the kid from Alabama, whether it's either of those 399 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 3: two guys, and I think both are talented enough to 400 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 3: succeed in the NFL, you're getting a player that's ready 401 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: to compete at that level. 402 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would totally agree with that, David right there. 403 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: You guys know, I'm not a huge fan of Nick 404 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: saban Yet at the same time, I am willing to 405 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: say that, boy, he turns out NFL ready players. 406 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 5: No doubt about that and look, I mean speaking of 407 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 5: you got a guy coming from Alabama and to Mack 408 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 5: Wilson right getting back to free agency real quick, You know, Dave, 409 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 5: I should ask you just on the list of guys, 410 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 5: the premier guys the Cardinals signed, if there's a name 411 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 5: that jumps out to you. I mentioned Jonah Williams, but 412 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 5: Sean Murphy, Bunting, Justin Jones, Ballall Nichols, Mac Wilson, you know, 413 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 5: the edge guy. And then Desmond Ritter, who we talked 414 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 5: with this week's seventeen career starts the last two years 415 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 5: coming out of Cincinnati for Atlanta. Is there another name 416 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 5: that sort of caught your attention? 417 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 3: Well, the Desmond Ridder thing. To me, he is the 418 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 3: perfect backup because if something happens to your starter, he 419 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 3: can get you, not just through a game, he can 420 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 3: get you through a series of games. He's really talented 421 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 3: and he's a winner. You look at what he did 422 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: at Cincinnati. I think that was a tremendous move to 423 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 3: get Desmond Ridder. You know, I think Clayton Tune's got 424 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: a chance, but he's we saw when he played he's 425 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: a ways away. Desmond Ridter is more ready to step in, 426 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 3: uh and be that guy. You know, it's interesting people. 427 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 3: I talk to a lot of people who kind of 428 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: go either way on Justin Jones. But but but that one, 429 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 3: to me, I'm really intrigued by him. Uh, you know, 430 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 3: with the sacks last year, even though his his past rush. 431 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: If you go look at analytics and look at like 432 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: win rate percentage and the grades you know that they 433 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 3: put out, they didn't jump off the page. But as 434 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 3: you know, Wolf, those can be misleading. I He's a 435 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: guy that I'm really intrigued by. But I think Desmond 436 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: Ridder for me, is that the first person that comes 437 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 3: to mind when you talk about most important person that 438 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 3: you side. Look. The hope is Kyler makes it through 439 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: every game, plays every snap of seventeen games. But just 440 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 3: day and age boy, that's hard to imagine. It just 441 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 3: doesn't happen very often. And Desmond Ridder can get you 442 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: through more than just a game. He can get you 443 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 3: through a month if he needed. 444 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I love that, David, the fact that 445 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: Desmond Ridder. You're focused on Desmond Ridder even though he's 446 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: a backup and going to be a backup to Kyler Murray. 447 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: Right now, we all know, at some point in time, 448 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna need that backup to go into games and 449 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: to allow you to be competitive, go out there and 450 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: maybe even win the thing. Desmond Ridder, I think is 451 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: uniquely qualified to be the guy for this team. And 452 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: the reason why I say that is because, look, you know, 453 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is blending the old and the new. We're 454 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: talking about under center, we're talking about in the gun, 455 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: in the pistol. He's doing that right now in this offense. 456 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: Over the last four games of the season, the Arizona 457 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals offense was the number one offense in terms of yards. 458 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: Over the last four games of the season, Kyler Murray 459 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: was evolving as a player, and so was this offense. 460 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: You know what, This is what I love about Desmond 461 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: Ridder because down with Arthur Smith in Atlanta, you're talking 462 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: about a coach that asked his team to do it all, 463 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: talking about different personnel groups and rundown situation, talking about 464 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: lining up in the pistol, lining up in the gun 465 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: under center, asking his quarterback to do it all. And 466 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: from what I hear, Desmond Ridder has got a big brain. 467 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: So this is going to be good for this offense 468 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: going forward because you need a quarterback that can execute 469 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: and orchestrate your offense. 470 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 5: To wrap it up here with Dave Pash, I know 471 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 5: something you guys did not love last season, and that 472 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 5: was the kickoff. Nearly two thousand touchbacks last year in 473 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 5: the NFL, return was executed twenty two percent of the time. 474 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 5: The NFL now expects more than sixty percent of kickoffs 475 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 5: will be returned with a new kickoff rule. Dave, your reaction. 476 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 3: What I like about it, guy, is it feels more 477 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 3: like a scrimmage play, like there's going to be real hitting. 478 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 3: It's going to be real football, as opposed to for 479 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: the most part, the foregun conclusion that you're going to 480 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 3: have a touchback and there's not going to be any contact, 481 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 3: so there's there's room for air. There's, you know, still 482 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 3: the element of a surprise where you have a big 483 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 3: hit and there's a fumble or a guy makes a 484 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: mistake by you know, deciding to feel a ball that's 485 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 3: angled to the sideline inside the five, where you just 486 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 3: didn't have as much of that the last few years. 487 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 3: So I think it's exciting. It's certainly better than it was. Looky, 488 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 3: I wish that we weren't in this situation. I wish 489 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 3: that concussions weren't as big of an issue as they are, 490 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 3: but it's reality. So if you're going to change the 491 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 3: rules and get away from what you know you did 492 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 3: when Wolf played, I think this is a good alternative 493 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 3: in my opinion. 494 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 5: Hey, fair catches are no longer allowed. Any ball caught 495 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 5: in the field of play must be returned, and a 496 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 5: touchback comes out to the thirty. So there's a lot 497 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 5: of incentive to return that ball or make the opponent 498 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 5: return it. So we'll see how that plays out, and 499 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 5: we'll see how the whole quarterback thing plays out, because 500 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 5: the latest mock draft that I've seen as JJ McCarthy's second, 501 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 5: and then Drake may fall in. We'll see how that 502 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 5: all goes. Dave Pash appreciate the time in the Insight. 503 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 5: We continue with the big Red rage presented by Santan 504 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 5: Ford in Gilbert. 505 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 3: After review, it is an incomplete pan. So Gannett one 506 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 3: for one saved his best and only for last first. 507 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 5: Time he used the red flag and it worked out. 508 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: Huh yeah, one for one. 509 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 5: It had been twenty years since the head coach had 510 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 5: gone entire season, so I know they reminded you of 511 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 5: that recently. 512 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 7: I put myself behind the team there because I really 513 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 7: didn't want to throw it. 514 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 5: He was reminded of it by the TV production crews 515 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 5: every single well in December and January. But there was 516 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 5: the red flag out of his pocket on the field. 517 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon, he's batting the thousand going into his second season. 518 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 5: Dave Pash and Ron Wolfley there, wolf here. We thanked 519 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 5: Dave Pash for his time moments ago on this edition 520 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 5: of The Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert. 521 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 5: We are santan Ford, Ron Wolfley more than just a 522 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 5: few headlines when it comes to quarterbacks and the draft 523 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 5: and free agency. At the league meetings, we got some 524 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 5: rules changes and as someone who made a name for 525 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 5: himself made a living on kickoff cover, Ron Wolfley just 526 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 5: your initial thoughts. We talked a little bit with Dave 527 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 5: Pash about it, but the kickoff by all accounts had 528 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 5: essentially become a dead play in so many different ways 529 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 5: the last couple of years, and now they try to 530 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 5: pump some life into it with a brand new alignment 531 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 5: and format. 532 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, you know, for the most part it falls 533 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: short to me, it falls short. But man, it's a 534 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: step in the right direction because it sure beats the alternative, Paul. 535 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: They were coming up with plays and you know you 536 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: were gonna have to, you know, trying to eliminate the kickoff, 537 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: and whether I just this is the best route you 538 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: could possibly take, I think at this point in time. 539 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: But it still falls short. I do. I think they've 540 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: overreacted on a lot of this in the National Football League. 541 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm all for player safety, PAULI you know that this 542 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: is integral to me. It is it is something I 543 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: understand personally, and yet at the same time, I just 544 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: think that it falls short. Eliminate the wedge, Paul. You 545 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: can never bring the wedge back. Eliminate two guys that 546 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: stand shoulder to shoulder in an attempt to double team 547 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: a guy. Eliminate that, because if you ever put two 548 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: guys shoulder to shoulder. To me, Paulie, I'll kill one 549 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: of them. Okay, one of them is gonna get killed, 550 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be my eyes that will kill him. 551 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: I'll look at the one guy and hit the other guy, 552 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: or I'll look at that guy and hit the other guy. 553 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: It's just it's something that is hard to describe unless 554 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 1: you experience it out on the football field. So listen 555 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: to me. I wanted to see a full kickoff cover 556 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: once again brought back because it's the most exciting, the 557 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: most brutal play there is in the game of football, 558 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: and to me, I love that. Yet at the same time, 559 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: this is an acceptable way to go in terms of 560 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: not eliminating the kickoff and doing something that's football. 561 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 5: It's gonna look really different. There's gonna be a setup zone, 562 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 5: there's gonna be a landing zone, all right. The ball 563 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 5: is still gonna be kicked from your own thirty five 564 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 5: yard line, but your ten kick coverage players are gonna 565 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 5: be lined up at the opposing forty, with five on 566 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 5: each side of the field. Then the return team is 567 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 5: going to have their nine blockers in the setup zone 568 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 5: between the thirty and thirty five, at least seven of 569 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 5: those players touching the thirty five, and then the two 570 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 5: kickoff return men allowed inside the twenty. Only the kicker 571 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 5: and the two kickoff return men would be allowed to 572 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 5: move into the ball hits the ground or it's touched 573 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 5: by a returner inside the twenty. And all this is 574 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 5: based really on the XFL and what they did. And 575 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 5: for example, in twenty twenty they were talking about an 576 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 5: NFL network there were over four hundred kickoff returns and 577 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 5: not a single head injury reported. Yeah, so it's player 578 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 5: safety driven in so many ways. 579 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, Polly. And once again, it's really more 580 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: like a punt return. Now that's what it is. Yes, 581 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: they're lining them up and you get to run this way, 582 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna drop back. 583 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go ahead and 584 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: drop back. It's gonna be really interesting to see what 585 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: they do, how special teams coaches may tweak it at all. 586 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna be very interesting. And again I want to 587 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: say this, it sure beats the alternative pall of eliminating 588 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: the kickoff. We're gonna see the kickoffs again come back, 589 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,959 Speaker 1: a big time special teams play come back in vogue. 590 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: And I like that poll because once again, eliminating the 591 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: kickoff is unacceptable to me. 592 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 5: Dare I say the Cardinals have a competitive advantage because 593 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 5: they have a big thinker, high IQ guy and special 594 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 5: teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers. And there's already a lot of 595 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 5: talk about how there's going to be actual plays that 596 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 5: are designed. Pin and Poll, you might put offensive linemen 597 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 5: out there on the return team. Yeah, I mean there's 598 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 5: a lot of different The reverses and end a rounds 599 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 5: are going to be more prevalent and prominent. 600 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: So and Paul, do you know what I like the most, 601 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: big guys. I love the fact that there is a 602 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: landing zone the goal line to the twenty and if 603 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: it's kick there, you must return it. 604 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 5: Any ball caught in the field to play, You're right, 605 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 5: must be returned. So let's go get y up. Because 606 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 5: they're only twenty two percent of the kickoff's return last year, 607 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 5: they're expecting sixty plus percent under this current format. So 608 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 5: there you go. And now we're going to get an 609 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 5: expanded role of replay assistance. Who are going to be 610 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 5: permitted to correct incorrect calls for roughing the pass or 611 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 5: intentional grounding those areas that are indisputable, not of opinion. 612 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 5: It either happened or it didn't. They're going to review 613 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 5: the video and then go down to the sideline if needed. 614 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: I love this, Paully. This is a step in the 615 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: right direction. This is where the NFL, I think is 616 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: going to continue to grow. Now the big eye in 617 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: the sky as we like to say, right the sky 618 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: judge as some people have called it. You know what, 619 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to radio down, call 620 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: down and say you need to throw a flag. You're 621 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: not going to be able to radio down, call down 622 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: and say we need to review this. It's only it's 623 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: only when you get a flag on the field, and 624 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: for the most part, it's going to be hits out 625 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: of bounds, it's going to be intentional grounding of course, 626 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: and roughing the passer. Those three things in particular, to me, 627 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 1: that's a great step in the right direction. It's when 628 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: a flag is on the ground and guess what probably 629 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't be on the ground, that's when they're going to 630 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: get involved. And I think that is a great approach 631 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: by the NFL. 632 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 5: For example, one of the most vexing calls is rough 633 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,239 Speaker 5: in the passer when indeed nothing really correct Nick. You know, 634 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 5: oh the quarterback got hit in the head. No, upon 635 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 5: replay review, he did not get hit in the head, 636 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 5: and so boom, you'd be able to correct that immediately 637 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 5: in the moment. You're empowering the replay assistant to fix 638 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 5: those clear and obvious mistakes. 639 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: And Paulie, just think about this right now, how important 640 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: that is. And I'm not talking about just in a game. 641 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about just to players or head coaches, Paul, 642 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: or general managers or owners, Paul. I'm talking about for 643 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: the fans. Here's the last thing you want to do. 644 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: You don't want to break the hearts of NFL fans 645 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: who have come to recognize a certain style of play 646 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And suddenly you go ahead 647 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: and your quarterback gets roughed, and and you know there's 648 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: no flag that breaks fans' hearts. But now all of 649 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: a sudden, what happens if your guy hits another quarterback 650 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: and you're like, there were no way that was roughing. Now, 651 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they can review that. You don't 652 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: want fans getting broken hearts because fans buy tickets and 653 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: they buy merchandise. 654 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 5: Yes, because you don't want them walking away customer satisfaction. 655 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, And then there's nothing worse. As a player, 656 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 5: you know, you did it for ten years. You work 657 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 5: all week and then a game is decided on an 658 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 5: erroneous call. So I like that anytime where they're trying 659 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 5: to get the correct call. I'm all on it. And 660 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 5: then in terms of player safety, they also eliminated the 661 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 5: swivel hip drop tackle. Now, I know there's much ado 662 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 5: about nothing. In some cases JJ Watt tweeting out just 663 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 5: fast forward to the belts with flags on them and 664 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 5: tweet jj Watt. But typically this amounted to maybe one 665 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 5: instance per game of a hip drop tackle. 666 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's what I don't like about APOL. Once again, 667 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: you're putting the onus on the defensive player. You're you're 668 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: putting another responsibility on the defensive player in terms of okay, 669 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: no headshots. Now all of a sudden, how you tackle 670 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: a guy? You should just go tackle a guy. I'm 671 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: glad that they're eliminating the hip drop. I can't stand 672 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: the hip drop tackle. Yet at the same time, I 673 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: am willing to say, right now, my goodness, I'm glad 674 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: that I didn't play defense on these under these rules. 675 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel for the defenders. I feel for the officials. 676 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 5: That's gonna be a tough one to rule. In the 677 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 5: We'll see, hey learn more than about Arizona Cardinals season tickets, 678 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 5: Premium CD in group tickets, and the all new luxury 679 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 5: field seeding experiences today.

Next on the big red rage. 682 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 5: Go to the other side of the picture. 683 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 4: This one blew me away. Did you gotta look at 684 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 4: Johnny Gannon? 685 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 5: Take a look at this dude over here. 686 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 4: Damn jj This blew me away. Biceps like crazy. This 687 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 4: is a pre photo pump. You cannot tell me it's 688 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 4: not a risk. He got out and he did the 689 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 4: close scripts. He did like the diamond push ups right 690 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 4: down there before he came out. 691 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 9: We don't even do arms. 692 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 7: You should see my hamstring. 693 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 9: The pre photo pump is like fight club. You don't 694 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 9: talk about the pre photo pump. You know, you never 695 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 9: admit to it. And as you go, and you're a 696 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 9: player in this league, you understand this is this is 697 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 9: the truth. You have pre photo pumps, you have pre 698 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 9: video pumps. You have you have pre game pumps where 699 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 9: guys are doing dips and push ups and curls in 700 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 9: the locker room, anything you can do to try to 701 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 9: get that vein to pop out right before you either 702 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 9: take the field or get a photo. But You never 703 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 9: talk about it, you never admit to it. You just 704 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 9: act like gots. I just rolled out of bed and 705 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 9: I'm this jacked. Every single day. 706 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 5: It's Kyle Vanderbosch this week on the Rids Report, just 707 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 5: blowing the lid off the scandal that is the pre 708 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 5: photo pump. Oh my, you know that's good stuff right 709 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 5: there in the trust tree. Hey, I'm guilty of the 710 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 5: pre photo pump before JV basketball team picture. We all 711 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 5: went into the rate room and grabbed the bicep, curl 712 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 5: in a bar and try to pump up for this 713 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 5: as a fifteen or sixteen year old. So yes, let 714 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 5: me tell you this much. We saw Jonathan Ganna last 715 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 5: week at the Cardinals golf turning or there Ron Wolfley, 716 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 5: and like cal Brandt, he detailed right there. JG is 717 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 5: definitely winning the off season. I gotta get got to 718 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 5: get some best practices on his off season workout, because yes, 719 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 5: he struck quite the pos in the head coach's photo 720 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 5: this year at the league meetings. 721 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what you're want to do when you're 722 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: in shape, Paul. You know it's unlike me, of course, 723 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: my pre photo pump. Paul would be taking my tongue 724 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: and sticking it all the way up to the top 725 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: of my mouth, the roof of my mouth. So that's 726 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: suddenly my throat isn't sagging, Paul, that's my photo. 727 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 5: I thought I was adding something with a salty snack 728 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 5: in there, you know. So all right, Kyle Brandt excellent 729 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 5: at call performance broadcasting, as he named Jonathan Gannon first 730 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 5: team All Fitness center in the hotel based on that 731 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 5: team photo right there, the head coaches photos, So that's 732 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 5: really well done. As for other headlines, JG meeting the 733 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 5: media and he revealed Ron Wolfley there will be a 734 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 5: joint practice this year for the Arizona Cardinals at an 735 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 5: AFC team to be named later. He said, it's a 736 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 5: very good team. So we just openly campaigned, please no 737 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 5: humidity fest like in Miami, Jacksonville, or Houston. We're pulling 738 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 5: for the Chargers. I don't know if you consider the 739 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 5: Chargers a really good team, but maybe with Jim Harbaugh 740 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 5: now they can go out to Costa Mesa, that'd be good. 741 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: You know what, Pauly, that's really interesting right now. Would 742 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: your categorize the Chargers as a team that is a 743 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: good AFC team? Very good. 744 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 5: Potentially potentially with Justin Herbert, you know, you might be 745 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 5: able to use that terminology. 746 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: Maybe Yeah, I'm just saying right now, man, this is 747 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: very interesting. Whom could it possibly be? I don't know, 748 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: but I love this. I love the fact that they're 749 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: going to have these joint practices because I think you 750 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: actually get more out of the joint practice than you 751 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: do actually playing one preseason game. 752 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 5: I agree. And you know what Chargers are picking right 753 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 5: beyond the Cardinals? Cardinals at four, Chargers at five. What 754 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 5: do the Chargers need more than anything from the outside 755 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 5: looking in a number one receiver after they got rid 756 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 5: of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. You know, well, let's 757 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 5: talk about Marvin Harrison Junior. And you know, in comparison 758 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 5: to a Romadonesa, in comparison to a Elik Neighbors. You 759 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 5: ask Malik Neighbors, he is really fired up doing all 760 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 5: his interviews that he thinks he's on par if not 761 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 5: better than the other two guys. He looks like a 762 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 5: really driven, potential Rookie of the Year type candidate. And 763 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 5: then Roma Dunes they put on a show at the combine. 764 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 5: See to me, I know, a lot of the Red 765 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 5: Sea has already decided that they want Marvin Harrison Junior. 766 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 5: But to me, I'll take any of those three receivers. 767 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 5: I really will. 768 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, I'm with you on that. You know, once again, 769 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: a football player, it's the threefold nature of man, body, soul, 770 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: and spirit. You've got to have all three of those 771 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: things aligned right now. And for the most part, when 772 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: I look at Marvin Harrison Junior, I see a guy 773 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: that I do believe has all three of those things. 774 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 1: He's got the body, of course, he's got the soul, 775 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: he's got the spirit. Rom macdonzay to me, is a 776 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 1: huge guy in terms of what he's going to give 777 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: and how he's going to go about his business. He's 778 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: very appealing to me. As a matter of fact, I'm 779 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: gonna say it, he reminds me of Larry Fitzgerald. He does. 780 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 5: Roman Doonza, Roma Doonzay. 781 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: Would you agree with that, Polly. 782 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 5: By the way, it's interesting because I've heard a couple 783 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 5: of draft analysts say that Roman Doonzay reminds them of 784 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 5: Larry Fitzgerald. But I think the Red Sea when they 785 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 5: see Marvin Harrison Junior, they think Larry Fitzgerald, which is 786 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 5: part of their affinity for Marvin Harrison Junior. That's my theory. 787 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right on that, Polly. But once again, 788 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: I think body type. Look at Roma Dunza very similar 789 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: to Larry Fitzgerald. When I look at Marvin Harrison Junior, 790 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: I see somebody who's got a little bit more length 791 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: to him. Roma Dunes a body type I think is 792 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: more towards Larry Fitzgerald. And I think also too, the 793 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: physical speed, the physical ability of course, things of that nature. 794 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: I think it's closer to Larry Fitzgerald, which is really 795 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: really good. I look at the Leak neighbors, and man, 796 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: this guy is the most explosive of all three of 797 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: these guys. This guy he ran a four to three five, 798 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: had a forty two inch vertical ball at his pro day. 799 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: But a four to three five I thought was actually 800 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: a little slow. Wow from the lake neighbors. I thought 801 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,240 Speaker 1: he was going to run maybe a four to nine, 802 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: a four to eight somewhere in that vicinity right there, 803 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: because I had heard he was running and busting a 804 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: little four to three, So to me, it was interesting 805 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: to see it. We're gonna find out who's going to 806 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: be the guy the first wide receiver taken in next 807 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: month's draft. I cannot wait, and I'm thinking it's Marvin 808 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,439 Speaker 1: Harrison Junior. 809 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 5: Here's the thing, Brian Thomas junior league neighbors teammate at LSU, 810 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 5: he actually had more touchdown catches last year. Now, did 811 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 5: Melikue neighbors get the bulk of the attention from the 812 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 5: defensive secondaries. Maybe, but you got a guy who's nearly 813 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 5: six ' three in Brian Thomas Junior, who ran a 814 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 5: four to three to three. Yes, supposedly catches everything away 815 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 5: from his body. His hands are not a liability. So honestly, 816 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 5: when I look at what's missing in the Cardinals cornerback room, 817 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,240 Speaker 5: when what's missing when it comes to an edge rusher, 818 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 5: I just think the Cardinals first pick in the first 819 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 5: round will be one of those two positions, and then 820 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 5: their second pick in the first round is more likely 821 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 5: to be receiver. That's and I think it'll be one 822 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 5: in the next tier receivers Brian Thomas and company. 823 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: You know what, PAULI I love that right there too. 824 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: I really do, because Brian Thomas Junior also is a 825 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: tree running across the secondary he's got a very big 826 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:11,240 Speaker 1: canopy as well. He's got size to him. Brian Thomas Junior. 827 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: It's one of the hallmarks of this draft is going 828 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: to be how many wide receivers are going to get drafted, 829 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: I think in the first round, and we might see 830 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: a record. 831 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 5: Ball, no doubt. I think the record is well, the 832 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 5: record for offensive tackles is seven. A lot of people 833 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 5: expect that to be broken. And then receiver could be 834 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 5: right up there as well. And then look, if you 835 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 5: don't get receiver until thirty five, like top of the 836 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 5: second round, and you get a guy like Lad McConkey 837 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 5: or Ricky Piersoll. 838 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: Of Florida, Key Pearsow. 839 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 5: These guys are some of the most polished route runners 840 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 5: in the draft. Both ran really well, have excellent hands. 841 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 5: I could definitely see the Cardinals going that route as well. 842 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pauline, don't forget about Graham Barton. Did you see 843 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: a paul Did you see Graham Barton? He's climbing up 844 00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:58,879 Speaker 1: the tree. 845 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 5: Is you know what? Wolf Matt Miller, the ESPN Draft guy, 846 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 5: his mock draft today has a Cardinals trading out of 847 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 5: number four given it to Denver. JJ McCarthy is a 848 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 5: fourth pick overall to Denver. Cardinals get Brian Thomas Junior 849 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 5: at number twelve. They also get a twenty twenty five 850 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 5: first a twenty twenty six first round pick from Denver, 851 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 5: and then at number twenty seven envelope please, they take 852 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 5: Graham Barton according to Matt Miller, and I wonder, because 853 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 5: you've interviewed him a few times, if you influenced this selection. 854 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: Yes, I have no idea, Polly, but I saw that 855 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: as well. I saw that from Matt Miller here man, 856 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: and I would like to say, Okay, I don't like 857 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six first round picked off. That just 858 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: seems too down the road.
