19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: And Ron Woolfley it doesn't get any better than that.

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 5: More than ever in today's NFL, it's all about the

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 5: more you can do. So if Cardinals head coach Jonathan

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 5: Gannon can work the phones this week, just go to

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 5: the Cardinals social media and the Twitter and see the

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 5: video for yourself. There's the head coach renewing Cardinals season

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 5: ticket holders. He's got the headset on. He's working the phone,

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 5: sold sold sold, ABC always be closing. He's personally calling

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 5: Cardinal season ticket holders and getting them on board for

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four. So if the head coach can do that,

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 5: then your darn tuteing, we can bring you The Big

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 5: Red Rage, presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert fifty two

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 5: weeks a year, the original Thursday Night Football, Paul Calvic

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 5: and Ron Wolfley.

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Poy Does that sound like JG. Paul or what? Yes?

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: I mean if you want to man, if you want

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 5: energy in the sales pit, okay, I mean match the

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 5: energy of Jonathan Gannon. I defy you. I dare you

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: to match his energy. And by the way, we're gonna

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: have Carrie Rhoades a little bit later, former Cardinals safety,

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: former player, host of The Big Red Rage, will join

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: us in a little bit. We'll talk everything that is football,

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 5: including including his former teammate Jonathan Gannon at the University

42
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: of Louisville. How about that so interesting?

43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 5: So the Cardinals finish up right, and I think we

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 5: all agree show hands everybody's hand in the air. This

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 5: four win season a lot different than last year's four

47
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: win season and just because of the way, if nothing

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: else they finished this season. You saw three wins against

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: playoff teams. You saw the young guys get so many

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 5: snaps and reps. You figure is gonna pay off exponentially.

51
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 5: And then at the very end of the year, especially

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: the last three games, you saw the quarterback, the franchise quarterback,

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray. And we're gonna talk to Carry Roads about

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: this look like the MVP at times that he seriously

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 5: legitimately was the first half of twenty twenty one and Wolf,

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 5: I mean, we're gonna get some of the awards that

57
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 5: were bestowed by the thirty member pan. But I mean,

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: if there is one takeaway going into this offseason, does

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: it not have to be k One himself?

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? Does Pully? Right now? For me, I just look

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: at Kyler Murray and what he did individually, the way

62
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: he evolved his own game, and the way that that

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: evolved this offense going forward. I am really really encouraged

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Paully because of what we saw from Kyler Murray in

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: those eight games that he played. He looked physically ready

66
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: to go, of course, and he evolved his game from

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: under center, and that is something that I think needed

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: to happen, and that's why I'm encouraged, and I also

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: think Kyler's encouraged.

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 5: No doubt. And it was a balanced offense. They had

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 5: a number four ranked rush game in the NFL. They

72
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 5: had the most chunk runs of any team in the NFL.

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: And I think all those reasons and more are why

74
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: as we start with the awards here and now enblow please.

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 5: MVP of this team, Ron Wolfley went to ring to

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 5: the thirty member panel. James Connor. Yes, was that your vote?

77
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 5: By the way, James Conner, that was my.

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Vote right there. I don't know how you could go

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: any other direction. You know a football player, Paul, He's

80
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: got body, soul, and spirit. Man the threefold nature of men.

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: James Connor, for the most part, he exemplified every one

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: of those aspects. He brought physicality to the field, he

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: brought intellect to the field, and he brought a whole

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: lot of whip butt to the field. And because of that,

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: he inspired a lot of his teammates around him. I

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: don't think there's any doubt about it. James Connor is

87
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: the most valuable cardinal.

88
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 5: I use one of those mass symbols, I said, James

89
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: Connor is greater than just a player, Mister Kramitt vertical.

90
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 5: He's a mindset, he's a mentality. He really is. That's

91
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 5: why forget this. I mean, the stats are outstanding in

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: his first career on thousand yard rushing season, I get it.

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: But it was just everything he provided in terms of

94
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 5: a mentality, just in terms of the way the team

95
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 5: would enter a game knowing they had their own personal

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 5: protector of sorts out there. In a lot of ways,

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: the guy they fed off. So yeah, I agree with you.

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 5: He got eighteen votes. The runner up was Kyler Murray

99
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 5: with ten votes for Team MVP. As for Offensive Player

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 5: of the Year, Drey McBride was a winner over James Connor.

101
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 5: But if I'm looking here, Ron Wolfley, that was not

102
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 5: your vote for Offensive Player.

103
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Of the year. No, you know, mine was Kyler Murray.

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: And I realize it's a little unfair because they only

105
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: played in eight games, of course, but coming into this season, Pully,

106
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: this past season twenty twenty three, of course, going into

107
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: that season, there was a lot of talk and to me,

108
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: the main question was whether or not Kyler Murray was

109
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: going to be your quarterback going forward in twenty twenty four.

110
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: And the reason why I say that, Hey, listen, you

111
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,119
Speaker 1: got a brand new staff. You got a guy who's

112
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: a general manager and his staff right now that I

113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: didn't really draft Kyler Murray. You got a new coaching

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: staff that has brought in here with a brand new scheme.

115
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Will Kyler Murray be the quarterback of the future? That,

116
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: to me was the number one question coming into this

117
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: season where we all thought it was going to be

118
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: a pretty tough season in terms of wins and losses.

119
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: It was gonna be a hard season for the Arizona Cardinals.

120
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: So he got that opportunity to play in eight games,

121
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: and to me, Kyler Murray was the story and is

122
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: the story going forward right now. In a gross simplification

123
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: of the truth.

124
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: Okay, well, Trey McBride once again was awarded and named

125
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 5: Offensive Player of the Year, and you can read all

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: this for yourself Easycardinals dot com. And I tell you,

127
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 5: the numbers are one thing, and the numbers were remarkable.

128
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: They were a record setting in terms of franchise records.

129
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: This team went thirty four years between one hundred yard

130
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 5: receiving games by a tight end and then he did

131
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 5: it twice in just over a month, but they were

132
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 5: meaningful catches. This wasn't some stats stuffing performance in twenty

133
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 5: twenty three. I mean, he will was the number one

134
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 5: receiving weapon in so many games. By the end of

135
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 5: the season, teams were double and triple teaming and giving

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 5: him so much extra attention. And then just his energy

137
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: and is vibe. Like I said, you know, come for

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: the first downs with Trey McBride, stay for the awkward celebrations.

139
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: I mean, guys just ate it up on the sideline.

140
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: So there you go. As for the Defensive Player of

141
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 5: the Year, Jalen Thompson was the winner. The runner up

142
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: was Buddha Baker. Full disclosure, I voted for Buddha just

143
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 5: because offensive coordinators wouldn't even go as direction. He rarely

144
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 5: got tested or tried, you know, they and we learned

145
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 5: late in the season that other players would tell Buddha

146
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 5: after game, oh yeah, game plan was don't go any

147
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 5: to your side, don't get anywhere near you.

148
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: Weird.

149
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: And so did Jalen have a great year, Yes, but

150
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 5: I think just the respect level that Buddha garnered and

151
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 5: is the only pro bowler he was my defensive player

152
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 5: of the Year.

153
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, He was my Defensive Player of the Year as well.

154
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, his numbers normally weren't as strong as we've

155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: seen in the past, of course, but he went to

156
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: his sixth Pro Bowl and as we all know, he's

157
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: one of the best football players in the National Football League.

158
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: And that to me, man, it made it an easy

159
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: decision because BUDDHAE. Baker, it's not just his production, it's

160
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: what he does for everyone else around him. He challenges

161
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: every guy, every man on that field, whether it's offense, defense,

162
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: or even the opponent. If you watch Buddha Baker play,

163
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: he challenges you. If he plays like that, why don't

164
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: you play like that. He's not the biggest, he's not

165
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: the strongest, he's not the fastest. All he does is

166
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: go out there in whip dudes, and if he can

167
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: do it, why aren't you playing with that kind of intensity?

168
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: Right, Newcomer of the Year Paris Johnson Junior pretty much unanimous.

169
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 5: He got fifteen votes. I know we both voted for

170
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 5: the six pick overall, the right tackle who played every

171
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: single snack. I don't have enough time to name all

172
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: the luminaries who went against, but I mean, we're talking

173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 5: about against the Aaron Donalds and Nick Boss and TJ. Watson,

174
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett's of the world all season long, Paris Johnson Junior.

175
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he definitely can get better. There's no denying that

176
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: he can get better, and he will get better because

177
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: of the kid that he is. He's got all the

178
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: talent you could possibly want. I think they've got themselves

179
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: one of their five offensive linemen for the next decade plus.

180
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 5: Beyond the box Score player of the year. So this

181
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: is the underrated sort of you know, behind the scenes

182
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: kind of guy. Yelled to Froholt your starting center all

183
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 5: year long. We both voted for a fro for yolda

184
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 5: and I tell you what I mean, think about the

185
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: narrative in August right and yours truly included. Oh geez,

186
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 5: the Cardinals starting center only has four career games of

187
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 5: the position. Man, he just silenced everybody, did he not?

188
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: He did, bully. He played so well. I mean he did.

189
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: He was calling his signals of course up on the line,

190
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: and it's so important when you've got that center. But

191
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: he played well and he and what I love about

192
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: yelled to Frohold, it's not just his playing well. Watch effort.

193
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: Paul watch the effort. Yelda's gonna give you on every

194
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: go man to me. That's what separated him from everybody else.

195
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: Right.

196
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 5: The play of the year, the single play James Connor,

197
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 5: the one hit a touchdown grab at Philly. That was

198
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 5: the winner. Now, I voted for the Trey mcplay, seventeen

199
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: yard tush push right, the party wave where everybody shoved

200
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 5: him in against Baltimore, And what'd you go for?

201
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: I went for the Trey McBride. I went for the

202
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: fake field goal. I'm sorry, the fake field goal. Kyler

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Murray to Trey McBride. That to me, scheme and skull.

204
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: That's where they met scheme and skull. I loved it.

205
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, jim O Mahundro, Executive producer. Here he went with

206
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 5: the Kyler run on third down. It was like third

207
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 5: and eighteen and then Kyler. Yeah, Kyler covered like seventy yards, right,

208
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 5: so that's not bad.

209
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey.

Speaker 5: legacy and litany of all time great safeties who have

232
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 5: been associated with the Arizona Cardinals franchise, both as a

233
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,480

Speaker 5: You played with Tim McDonald right multiple Pro Bowls before that.

236
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: In fact, you're GM. Larry Wilson, a Hall of Famer.

00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 5: Tyron Matt.

239
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: Don't forget about Lonnie Young.

240
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean currently arguably the best tandem of safeties

241
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 5: in the league. And Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson. And

242
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 5: then a guy who had a pair of four pick

243
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 5: seasons for the Ears on the Cardinals and two seasons

247
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 5: From La Wolf wants to talk about the weather. We

248
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 5: don't have time to talk about the weather and all

249
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 5: the rain out there. But you are surviving, right, I'm

250
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: doing five.

251
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: The rain hasn't gotten me. I'm a little bit high up.

252
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm in a condo now out here in California, so

253
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit protected from it. Yeah, it's been

254
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: coming down so well. I'm okay.

255
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: If you're worried, yeah, okay, No, that's great, that's great.

256
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: Carry speaking. You're protected right now. I have to ask

257
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: you this, how much do you miss the game? Carrie?

258
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: Man? You know what, I don't miss the game. You

259
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: know it's I do miss you know, being able to

260
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: break it down and you know the x's and o's

261
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: of it. I do love the chess match that happens

262
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: between my position, the safety position, and the quarterback position,

263
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: right you get to you're that guy, and and you know,

264
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: just from the strategic part of it. And also I

265
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: mean obviously obviously some of the guys and some of

266
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: the camaraderie that happens in those moments man in the

267
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: locker room. You know, those things you can't really get

268
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: and you can't really duplicate outside of the game. But

269
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: as far as the going out there and tackling and

270
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 2: being ready to go on game day, yeah, those that

271
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: ship is sailed. Well.

272
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 5: Last we left off with you, which was last offseason,

273
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: wasn't that long after the hiring of Jonathan Gannon. And

274
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 5: for those who weren't familiar, the two of you were

275
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 5: teammates at Louisville. You were a year ahead of him,

276
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 5: if memory serves. You both came out of high school

277
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: as quarterbacks and then became DB's at Louisville. There's two

278
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 5: things we found out or at least were reinforced as

279
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 5: being facts about Jonathan Gannon. One his energy. It's relentless.

280
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: And number two, the compete is that the same guy

281
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 5: you knew back in college.

282
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: Yep. I mean that's what I knew he would bring

283
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: to you, to the to the franchise over there in Arizona.

284
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: That's just who he is. That's his DNA. Now, the

285
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: fact that he got those guys to you know, really

286
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: compete at a high level, I wasn't worried about that,

287
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: but just the way he handled himself and you know,

288
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: was able to get the guys you know x's and

289
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: old wives to go out there and have a chance

290
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: to win every game. I mean games that he shouldn't

291
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: have been in. They were in. They fault, but they

292
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: also like did it at a high level of execution,

293
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: which you know, you know, they they are a couple.

294
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're probably another I mean next

295
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: year they're going to be really really competitive and I

296
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: think have a chance to do some really some some

297
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: really special things. But the fact that he got those

298
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: guys this year in the year where I mean he

299
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: came in behind eight ball, right, I mean, you're starting

300
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: quarterbacks not there, and you know, expectations on the outside

301
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: wasn't high for them to come out and believe in

302
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: him and believe in his system. Was it was just

303
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean for me, it was it was. It was

304
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: a success.

305
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: You know, Carrie, the team was really competitive with without

306
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I would say, and with Kyler Murray they

307
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: were competitive all year long. JG of course had his culture,

308
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: and cultures do change from team to team here, but

309
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: in your opinion, how big is culture to a football team?

310
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: Well, the work The word culture is kind of loosely

311
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: thrown out now as being you know, being the the

312
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: sole focus of you know, building programs from the ground

313
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: up and you know, sustaining that over years. Right, But

314
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: you know, I think it I think number one, yes,

315
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: the culture matters, but bringing in players that fits that

316
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: culture also matters. But I think the ultimate, I think

317
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: the ultimate thing with all of that is the flexibility,

318
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: the flexibility of your head coach. Right, because again, you

319
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: come into a situation where you want to do something

320
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: a certain way and you don't have all those guys

321
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: that fit in to make that thing happen. How flexible

322
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: are you going to be and how much of a

323
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: person you can be as far as being able to

324
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: mold and change your scheme and your thought process to

325
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: the to the team that you currently have. And I

326
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: think that was the special thing that he did this

327
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: year in year one, because yes, culture is important, but

328
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: everybody's not going to buy into your culture. It's just

329
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: you have to prove that over and over and you

330
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: have to prove two men that you're able to be

331
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: flexible with them as well. And so there's a fine

332
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: line there, but the good ones are able to do

333
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: it really well.

334
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: Former Cardinal safety Carry Rhoades joining us here on the

335
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 5: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert In

336
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: a moment, I want to get to this year's MVP.

337
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 5: They announced the finalists. We all know it's going to

338
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 5: be Lamar Jackson. You've watched him since day one at Louisville,

339
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 5: you're Alma mater. But let's talk about Kyler Murray for

340
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: a moment, because the first half of twenty twenty one

341
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 5: he was a legit MVP candidate. In the last three

342
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 5: games of this year we started to see flashes of

343
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 5: that again. Cardinals gave him a top five rushing attack

344
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 5: this season. What do you think that does for Kyler

345
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 5: as a quarterback? The OC putting him under center, a

346
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 5: more dynamic offense. It just seemed like we see we

347
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 5: saw everything evolve at the very end of this season.

348
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: It just lends to what I kind of said, right,

349
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: It's like, you have to be flexible. You have to

350
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: you know, mold game plans and mold schemes around what

351
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: your player does best, but also not just your players,

352
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 2: what your team does best. And I think Arizona did

353
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: a really good job of that. You know, they had

354
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: Connor who had a researchence this year and ran the

355
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 2: ball at an unbelievablelek cleft. He played well, and so

356
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: you know, to make things lighter for your star quarterback

357
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: that's coming back from a long, long injury, it's being

358
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: able to run the ball and being able to play

359
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: action off of that and base your game plan off

360
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: of what your strengths are. And their strength last year

361
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: was running the ball, and you know, it made life

362
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: easier for Kyler to kind of ease back into it

363
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: and then wants to ease back into football and getting

364
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: into football shape and seeing defenses is seeing defenses and

365
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: schemes again, then you can unleash the Kyler that we know.

366
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: But I think it's that ability again to mold to

367
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 2: what your team is doing best. And I think we

368
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: saw that with the Cardinals, and I think with Kyler

369
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: him being healthy and being able to show what he

370
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: can do again down and stretch, there was vital because

371
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: I think you guys know, and I think j G knows.

372
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: I saw a press conference where he said, you know,

373
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: Kyler is our quarterback, and just that reassurance for Kyler

374
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: and the team and the other players around it just

375
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: makes life easier for them.

376
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: So, Carrie, philosophically, what do you make of taking Kyler

377
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: and putting him under center? What do you make of

378
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: under center play coming back a little bit? In the

379
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: National Football League?

380
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: It has to. It has to. I mean, you know,

381
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: like we get caught up in scoring points, they get

382
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: caught up in the big, splashy plays and it's important,

383
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: it is, and you know it sells. But at the

384
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: end of the day, the teams that are playing right now,

385
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: right what do all four of those teams do well?

386
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: They run the ball, their physical upfront and those things

387
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: never change with football. So you have to be able

388
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: to do that. And I know we've seen teams doing

389
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 2: the shotgun a little bit, but that push your quarterback

390
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: at risk because they're doing a lot of the RPO

391
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: stuff and the red stuff, which you know the quarterbacks

392
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: have to run, and that's the New Age football. But

393
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the top four teams

394
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: that are still playing, they're physical up front and they

395
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: can run the ball from on the center. And I

396
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 2: think bringing that part of the game back, especially for Kyler,

397
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: which you know you start seeing in the shotgun every

398
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: down that gets to be predictable, so it kind of,

399
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: you know, it gives the offense more flexibility to do

400
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: certain things and make it look and make it look

401
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: different than what.

402
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 5: Defense there used to Kerry Roads our guest, all right,

403
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 5: so once again you were to Louisville. We know you're

404
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: a big time fan. You follow every game, You've been

405
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 5: following Lamar Jackson since day one. How equipped is he

406
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 5: to take on Patrick Mahomes. Both have their own motivations, right,

407
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 5: Mahomes the whole thing, We're going to win this thing

408
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: on the road. Lamar Jackson, I'm going to get this

409
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 5: team to the super Bowl and get these playoff wins.

410
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 5: How do you size up that matchup?

411
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: Man?

412
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: The one thing about Lamar and I've known from day one.

413
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: I went to talk to the team when he was

414
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: coming into his Heisman campaign year, and I'm talking to

415
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 2: the time, I'm outside and you know, everybody's listening, everybody's

416
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: paying attention. But as soon as I get done with

417
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: the talk, there were two guys on that team, only

418
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: two that stayed and others you know said by and

419
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: high and you know in passing, but there was two

420
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: guys that stayed on round and was asking me questions

421
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: about the next level, what it takes to do this,

422
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: and you're just curious, and and those two guys are

423
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl players in the NFL. And so when you

424
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 2: see that happen, it's just you know it's destined and

425
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: you know they're destined for greatness. Those two players were

426
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and Jai Yere Alexander. And so so when

427
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: you see those things happen that way, you know those

428
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: kids are special and you only want with best of them.

429
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: But I know that Lamar, this is his moment. He's

430
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: been prepping for this for a long time. He's gotten better.

431
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: He got the contract and got the contract and got

432
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: better after the contract. What does that say about the

433
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: young man?

434
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: Right?

435
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: So I see him this is his moment. I think

436
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 2: He's gonna get them over the top. And I see

437
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: this game. I actually see Baltimore at the end and

438
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: winning this game by ten points or so.

439
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, you know what. I love their defense in

440
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: particular to Carrie, their secondary is so good, their past

441
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: defense overall, I love watching them play the game of

442
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: football because I think they play it in a very physical,

443
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: in your face kind of way. Yes, talk to me

444
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: a little bit about the NFC. When you look at

445
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: the NFC with the forty nine ers of course and

446
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: the Lions in that matchup, what comes to mind, Carrie.

447
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: It's physicality. Who's gonna win that line of scrimmage in

448
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: this game? Yeah, I mean San Francisco got exposed a

449
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: little bit last week with green Bay. Right. Green Bay

450
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: was able to run the ball that will and dictate

451
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 2: that game. And so if they allowed Detroit to do

452
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: the same thing, Detroit will win this game. Now, I

453
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 2: think San Francisco is a better team, and I think

454
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: San Francisco will win this game. But if San Francisco

455
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: doesn't bring their A plus game, they will lose because

456
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: I mean Detroit comming, they believe in you talk about

457
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: believing in the culture, believing in the team. They believe

458
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: in Dan Campbell. I mean to the to the to

459
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: the degree. And I saw a clip of Dan Campbell

460
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: that was kind of surfacing on Twitter, where you know,

461
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: he was telling the guys, Okay, we got to go

462
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: live tomorrow and we got to tackle them, and we

463
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: got to pursuit, and we got to do the things

464
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: that we're going to do in games to get our

465
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: bodies and get ourselves mentally ready for this. And the

466
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: way he explained why just it just it made well

467
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: talk about did I miss a game? No, But that

468
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: made me want to suit up for one play because

469
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 2: because you know, coaches a lot of times just say safe,

470
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: do this and do that, and you just have to

471
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: follow because I'm your coach. But the way that he

472
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: allowed the young man to understand why we were doing it,

473
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: that goes I mean, for me, that's that's what a

474
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: separation comes from. A guy just saying do this to

475
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 2: a guy that makes you feel like you belong to

476
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: this and you're part of the decision. And I think

477
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 2: that's what he does. Well.

478
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 5: Hey, your former coach Rex Ryan this week called the

479
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 5: Lions the best coach team in the NFL. I thought

480
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 5: that was pretty interesting. Carrie Rhodes is our guest here

481
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 5: on the Big Red Rage. So for those who don't remember,

482
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 5: carry played eight years, could have easily played several more.

483
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 5: You rated the number four safety in the NFL your

484
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 5: final season by Pro Football Focus bought you had other plans.

485
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 5: You had other things to do, like movies and TV

486
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 5: shows and music videos and your recording artists. Tell us

487
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 5: about your latest single that you just put out.

488
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, I could have played a few more.

489
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 2: You know what's funny. I went on a couple of

490
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: visits and I was I almost I don't know if

491
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 2: people know the story, but I went Cincinnati. I went

492
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati. I went to the Giants. I had you

493
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: know other you know Cleveland, other people that reached out,

494
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: and I went en Cincinnati and I had to to

495
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: film a TV pilot the next day. So if I

496
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: would have signed or Cincinnati would have put the papers

497
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: in front of me that day, I may have signed

498
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: to play a couple more years. But they want I

499
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: was coming off a back injury my last year and

500
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: they wanted to wanted me to see the doctor the

501
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 2: next day, and I remember helping them up from my agent.

502
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: I was like, if we signed today. I may, I

503
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 2: will do it, but if I have to wait till tomorrow,

504
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: I can't. And so I had to wait till tomorrow.

505
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: And so I literally made the decision on the spot

506
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: to leave the mangles and go and go film the

507
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: pilot that didn't get picked up, by the way, but

508
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: but it's spearheaded me to my next dole, which did

509
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: get picked up. So I just got the ball rolling

510
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: and it went well. But that's a fun fact of

511
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: fun story that I don't know if a lot of

512
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: people know, but that happened. But for Workout, my my

513
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: new single, Workout, it's been out a couple of months now,

514
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: but man, doing really well. And it's just really it's

515
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: just really a love song, but it's it's it's predicated

516
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: off of being able to love yourself. You can't love yourself,

517
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: you can't love anybody else, and so it it just

518
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, plays around with that topic a

519
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: little bit metaphorically. And it's been doing well. Man, I'm

520
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: actually excited about it.

521
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: So Carrie, it work out. It has nothing to do

522
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: with actually working out. Oh no, days over well, I

523
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: don't believe Itadmill.

524
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I definitely lift still, but it's very

525
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: it's very light, it's just pretty. It's justos obviously be

526
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: healthy and to aesthetically look like I'm healthy, right, all right.

527
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 5: So last question on the music is we're curious, Uh,

528
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 5: does the piece of music inspire the lyrics or do

529
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 5: the lyrics inspire the music.

530
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: That's a good question, but both both. But a lot

531
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 2: of times I like to write, I mean solely just

532
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: the right and so sometimes I will write that way.

533
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: But I'll hear some music here and there, and melodically

534
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: I can already hear the words in it. It's it's

535
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: a trip. I mean, it's one of those things where

536
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: I can just hear the track and be like, oh,

537
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 2: it has to be the song and it can't be

538
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: anything else. And that's the magical part about music. It's

539
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: you think, we think, you know, I guess with our

540
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: ego that we're creating this magic, right, but the magic

541
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 2: already exists, and so a lot of times when you

542
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: hear the music, it exists and it can't be anything else.

543
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: Interesting. Well, look, I mean, well, if you remember he

544
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 5: shared a dressing room with Lady Gaga once upon a

545
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 5: time for the whole music video shoot all right, and

546
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 5: Jim Jim Ohart he checked it three hundred and fifteen

547
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 5: million views right now on Paparazzi.

548
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: How about that time.

549
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny because see what obviously she wasn't

550
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 2: that huge yet if she was sharing addressing room with me,

551
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: So that's that's number one, just starting to kind of

552
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: get to that elevated level. But yeah, I'm in the

553
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: room changing and and she walks. I'm like, you probably

554
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 2: got the room jess and room lady god, and she's like, no,

555
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 2: this is it. And I was like, okay, I guess

556
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: we're doing this. So we did it and it was fun.

557
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 5: Hey, I tell you what, I'm pulling for your guy,

558
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson and Baltimore just because I don't think America

559
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: can handle two more weeks of Taylor Swift in the

560
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 5: Kelsey's Oh.

561
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: Please come on, I can't. I can't.

562
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: I can't.

563
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: That's good. I'm with people.

564
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's solid, that's good stuff. Well, look, I tell

Speaker 5: you all the best, Carrie, and we hoped across paths.

00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 5: continue with a big red Rage presented by santan form

588
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: in Gilbert.

589
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 4: That should do it. For the first time in more

590
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 4: than fifty years, the city of Baltimore is going to

591
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: host the AFC Championship. After scoring twenty four unanswered points

592
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: here in the second half, as they've knocked off the

593
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 4: Texans thirty four to ten and the number one scene.

594
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 5: We'll move on.

595
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 7: Here's the snap. He goes to an as fourth down

596
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 7: and that is it. The bench is empty. The Chiefs

597
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 7: have caught on the road and won in Frigid Orchard,

598
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 7: Part New York. The Chiefs are going to six consecutive

599
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 7: AFC Championship. They'll take on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

600
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 5: Kevin Harlan preceeded by Tom McCarthy. There you go. That's

601
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 5: your AFC Championship coming our way on Sunday. And I'll

602
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 5: tell you what, based on the viewership ratings and the numbers,

603
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 5: that has never been more popular, the insatiable appetite that

604
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 5: is for NFL Playoff Football Round, Wolfley Paul Calvic's special

605
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 5: thanks again to Carrie Rhoades. You heard Carrie's prediction. Ravens

606
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 5: by ten plus behind Lamar Jackson. Very interesting considering that

607
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have all the experience. They

608
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 5: just clinched their six straight trip the AFC Championship game.

609
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 5: Bot it'll be their first one on the road, and

610
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 5: we know what they did on the road last week.

611
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 5: Wolf Were you like the crying Bills fan in the

612
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: stands at the end of that game, Wolf as a boss.

613
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 5: You weren't like that guy.

614
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: I want to make sure stop it.

615
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 5: It was, uh yeah, you're okay though after that, I mean, you.

616
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: Know, no, Now, look, I wanted the Bills to win.

617
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: Of course I was rooting for the Buffalo Bills, my

618
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I grew up in Orchard Park Bully as

619
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: you well know. But I mean, there's no reason to cry.

620
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: And this is something Dan Campbell's got to learn as well.

621
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: You don't have to be crying after games.

622
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 5: Well, look, the Bills had their chances. I mean, you know,

623
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 5: Digs dropped that bomb, Sherefield had that chunk throwy drop,

624
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: Josh Allen Mishakir in the end zone, the fake punt,

625
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 5: what are you doing? You know, Nicole Hardman gave the

626
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 5: fumble through the end zone. I mean, the Bills had

627
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 5: plenty of chances. And just to me, I'm going to

628
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 5: boil this down. Beyond Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, this

629
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens defense is so far superior to that Bills

630
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 5: defense that especially was banged up, was missing so many

631
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 5: key components because of injury. I just think that Mahomes

632
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 5: and company they're in for a much different challenge than

633
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 5: they got last week.

634
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: PAULI, this is the matchup of this game, as far

635
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. It is Patrick Mahomes and a gross

636
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: simplification of the truth. It's Patrick Mahomes versus the Ravens secondary.

637
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: That defense is so good, you watch them on tape.

638
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: They get to the quarterback, of course, they get after

639
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback, they get after receivers. Number six and passing

640
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: yards per game allowed and number one in passing yards

641
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: per play aloud and PAULI, when you talk about number

642
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: one and passing yards per play allowed by that Raven's defense,

643
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: do you have any idea how much goes into that

644
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: that number one? What's behind all that great coverage in

645
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: the secondary, not having a lot of mental errors right,

646
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: not blowing assignments all over the place, Guys that are

647
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: buttoned up, guys that are good open field tacklers. They

648
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: do not allow you to throw the ball down the field,

649
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: don't allow big play. I mean, so much is behind

650
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: that number when you say number one in passing yards

651
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: per game allowed or passing yards per play allowed, It

652
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: matters so much.

653
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 5: And guess what they're tracking to have Marlon Humphrey back

654
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 5: their standout corner, so that would be obviously be a

655
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 5: huge boost of that Baltimore defense. Yeah, And I tell

656
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 5: you the X factor to me, Wolf was when I

657
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 5: saw Jadavian Clowney playing with that sort of attitude and

658
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 5: that sort of intensity, I mean, everything else Baltimore has.

659
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: And if you're gonna get consiferent, consistent, one hundred percent

660
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 5: effort out of Jendavian Clowney, look out, that's yeah.

661
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: When I hear that, you're right, Paul in the Ravens

662
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: number four in sacks per attempt right getting after the

663
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: quarterback and the Chiefs number two in sacks per attempt

664
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: in terms of protecting their quarterback, Paul, that strength on

665
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: strength right there, and you have to wonder what's gonna

666
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: give I mean that is that is good. You need

667
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: to protect Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are really really

668
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: good at doing it. And one of the good things

669
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: about it, one of the reasons why the Chiefs are

670
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: number two is because Pat Mahomes gets the ball out quickly.

671
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: All right.

672
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 5: So Casey going against the number one scoring defense in

673
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 5: the NFL in Baltimore, So maybe maybe this game turns

674
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 5: let's flip it here, because the Kansas City defense is

675
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 5: eighteenth against the run this season, and Baltimore has the

676
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 5: NFL's top rushing offense. And it's not just Lamar Jackson,

677
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 5: it's Gus Edwards, it's Justice Hill. It's just that attitude

678
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: of a run first type offense with multiple tight ends. Heck,

679
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 5: maybe they go out there and they just grind it

680
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 5: out against Kansas City and they sit and dominate the ball.

681
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna do that, Pauli. There there's no doubt.

682
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: Listen to Ravens. Even though the Chiefs defense got better

683
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: as the season went along in terms of stopping the run,

684
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna be who they are. They're going

685
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: to line up and they're gonna attack the line of scrimmage.

686
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: It's what they do. Yes, Lamar Jackson as well, I

687
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: think look for him.

688
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: Now.

689
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: You know the Chiefs are going to put a spy,

690
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: maybe even two spies on Lamar Jackson for the most part,

691
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: but the Ravens can line up and blow you off

692
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 1: the ball. To begin with. I love watching him play

693
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: because of how physical they are on both sides of

694
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: the ball on that line of scrimmage.

695
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 5: So Baltimore also has some of the historic trends in

696
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 5: their favor. Home teams are thirty six and seventeen in

697
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 5: the AFC Championship game. Number one seeds are thirty four

698
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 5: and fourteen in conference championship games. But who loves a

699
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 5: challenge like that more than anyone? Patrick Mahomes And you

700
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: heard him last week. He took that hole. All Mahomes

701
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 5: can't win on the road thing, that narrative to heart.

702
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 5: And when the Chiefs have been an underdog in his career,

703
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 5: he's won eight out of eleven. Haven't been a lot

704
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 5: of games there he's been an underdog, but he has

705
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 5: risen to the occasion. To what degree do you think

706
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 5: Mahomes himself is just the X factor and doing enough

707
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 5: to beat Baltimore?

708
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: I think it's all Patrick Mahomes Paully, and that's again,

709
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: of course, it's not just him, it's everybody, every guy

710
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: that's on that field offensively for the Chiefs. They need

711
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: to go out and play well as a team. But man,

712
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: when you break this thing down, it really is about

713
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes versus the Baltimore Ravens defense, in particular when

714
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: it comes to throwing the ball, the Ravens, PAULI thirty

715
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: one takeaways on the season. Guess what that was? That

716
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: was number one? And the National Football League thirty one

717
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: takeaways on the season, Pat Mahomes. If you want to

718
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: look at one indicator as to how this game is

719
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: going to go, look at that Patrick Mahomes and how

720
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: he protects the ball no fumbles and no interceptions. How

721
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: does he do protecting the ball against the National Football

722
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: League's number one defense and taking the ball away?

723
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: Right?

724
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 5: So, look, we heard Kerry Roads and Lamar Jackson. Give

725
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 5: us your thoughts on Lamar Jackson. How equipped he is

726
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 5: to take this team to the super Bowl considering he's

727
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 5: coming off a game where he's the second player ever

728
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: with one hundred rushing yards, two touchdown passes, and two

729
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 5: rushing touchdowns in a playoff game.

730
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: Polly, I'm biased on this, I really am, because I

731
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: love Lamar Jackson. I am a Lamar Jackson fan. He

732
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: is a quarterback, Paul, that happens to be a football player,

733
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: all right. You know what I mean by that? This

734
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: guy is physical. He will run the ball, He runs

735
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: it like a running back. Yet he can hurt you

736
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. That's where he's improved his game the most.

737
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: I am a Lamar Jackson fan. I think Baltimore wins

738
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: this game. Well.

739
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: John Harbaugh's brother, Jim Harbaugh, is an NFL head coach

740
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 5: again with the Chargers, and guess what They're coming to

741
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 5: town along with the Bears of Patriots, the Jets, the

742
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 5: Lions of Commanders, and of course the NFC West. For

Speaker 5: Ford in Gilbert.

747
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 6: Party drops down, it would be and the San Francisco

748
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 6: forty nine Ers, for a third consecutive year, are headed

749
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 6: to the NFC Championship Game. The forty nine Ers come

750
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 6: from behind they beat the Green Bay Packers twenty four

751
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 6: to twenty one at San Francisco is one step away

752
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 6: from the super Bowl.

753
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 5: Again, wrong takes ane. There will be no far snaps,

754
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 5: and for the second.

755
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 3: Time ever, it can be said the.

756
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 4: Detroit Lions are playing for an NFC championship. It's Detroit

757
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 4: and San Francisco next.

758
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 5: Week with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

759
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 5: Is Kevin Coogler preceded by Ryan Radke. For the first

760
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 5: time since nineteen fifty seven, the Detroit Lions have won

761
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 5: two playoff games in one season. They just won their

762
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 5: first division title in three decades. The question is can

763
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 5: they win the Super Bowl. Detroit is one of four

764
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 5: teams Ron Wolfley that has never reached a Super Bowl

765
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 5: in NFL history. As we wrap up this edition to

766
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 5: the Big Red Rage, Carrie Rhodes was our guest Special

767
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: thanks to Carrie, former Cardinals safety, all presented by Santan

768
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 5: Ford in Gilbert, we are Santan Ford. I've been calling

769
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 5: it wolf the Honolulu blue Print, as in, what can

770
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 5: the Cardinals learn from the Lions and the way Dan

771
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 5: Campbell came in and changed the culture and then Brad

772
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 5: Holmes in that front office started nailing drafts, and I

773
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 5: just think there's a lot of initial similarities to what

774
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 5: Jonathan gan and maniasin Ford are instilling in the Arizona Cardinals.

775
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt about that. I would also add

776
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens and how the Ravens go about building

777
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: a team as well. More on that in a future

778
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage, PAULI, But right now, just looking at

779
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: this to your point, the Lion are number two and

780
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: number three, respectively in rushing yards per game and rushing

781
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: yards per play allowed. They line up and they fight

782
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: you tooth and nail on the line of scrimmage, and

783
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: yet when you flip it over, they're number five in

784
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game and number five and rushing yards

785
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: per play. What does that tell you over the course

786
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: of an entire season. This is a team that is

787
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: built on the line of scrimmage offensively and defensively. And

788
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: if you're gonna beat the Detroit Lions, you're gonna have

789
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: to beat them on the line of scrimmage.

790
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 5: I was trying to coach up Darren Rban and Craig

791
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 5: Griel this week. I said, you know what, back in

792
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 5: Detroit Lions history, not too long ago, they added what's

793
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 5: known as probably the worst general manager in modern NFL

794
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 5: history in Matt Millen. And what did he do in

795
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 5: the top ten? He kept drafting receiver. And the current

796
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 5: regime comes in and they start drafting line of scrimmage,

797
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 5: and they get guys like Aiden Hutchinson, and they get

798
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 5: guys like Penny Sewell the right tackle and so yes

799
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 5: to your point. And what did Dan Campbell say about

800
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 5: this matchup against the four forty nine ers, And we

801
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 5: know this all too well having played the Niners twice

802
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 5: a year. In Kyle Shanahan, Dan Campbell just pounding the podium.

803
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 5: You gotta stop the run with the forty nine ers

804
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 5: because in his words, if you don't, they'll rush for

805
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 5: two point fifty on you and they won't even worry

806
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 5: about passing.

807
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: Well, we all know how the forty nine ers go

808
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: about their business as well, with Kyle Shanahan and the

809
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: fact they still have a full back. They run the

810
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: ball in a north southway. There's no denying that. And

811
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: CMC Christian McCaffrey, of course, he's so good at running

812
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 1: the ball between the tackles. Is he good in space?

813
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey, yes, he's all paully. He's so good

814
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: in space. Is he good coming out of the backfield?

815
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: You better believe he's one of the best ever to

816
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: actually do that. But man, the best thing about CMC

817
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: is the fact he runs the ball so well in

818
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: between the tackles, and that's where the forty nine ers

819
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: offense is and that brock Perty has actually brought his

820
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: team back in a playoff game, got behind the saddle

821
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: and took them down the field to score a touchdown

822
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: to win the game. That is going to bolster his confidence,

823
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: and it's also going to bolster all of his teammate's

824
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: confidence in him going forward.

825
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out whether to have confidence in

826
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 5: that forty nine Ers defense. And I know that's like

827
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 5: borderline blasphemy. Has been so good for so long, But

828
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 5: the Packers came out with Jordan Love and they reached

829
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 5: the red zone and their first three drives they just

830
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 5: failed in the red zone. They had the first one

831
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 5: hundred yard rusher against the Niners defense in the last

832
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 5: fifty games. I'm just wondering. You know, Jared Goff has

833
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 5: been pretty darn effective, and that Lions run game, it's

834
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 5: a balanced offense. What do you think when it comes

835
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 5: to this Niners defense on Sunday?

836
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI you know what I think too. I think

837
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: they looked like a one seed who thought they were

838
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: going to win the Super Bowl. Okay, in their game, honestly,

839
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: I thought they came out and had a lack of intensity.

840
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: To your point, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

841
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: and in particular inside the box against the Green Bay Packers. Yes,

842
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: I thought they came out and looked like, hey, you

843
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: know what, this is gonna be a coronation. We're gonna

844
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl and we're gonna win the

845
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And I think they got jumped a little

846
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: bit right there. And I know we think Kyle Shanahan

847
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: is a great coach, and he is, there's no denying that.

848
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: But the key to coming out and being ready to

849
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: play is each player inside that locker room getting himself

850
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: ready to play. And you know what, Paul, I didn't

851
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: see a very intense football team when that game started.

852
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 5: Okay, it's a good point. Well, Nick Bolsa was asked

853
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 5: about Jared Goff this week and he said the key

854
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 5: is obviously getting pressure. He's got a really good old

855
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 5: line makes it tough. But if you cover up his

856
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 5: first couple reads and then you get after him and

857
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 5: hit him a few times, it changes things a little bit.

858
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 5: And Golf has been a different quarterback on the road.

859
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 5: So look, I gave you in passion hard time earlier.

860
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 5: This week is longtime detractors and haters of Jared Goff

861
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 5: and how Boom he's about to become. He could become

862
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 5: the fifth quarterback ever, by the way, to lead two

863
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 5: teams do a Super Bowl. Just Tom Brady, Payton, Manning,

864
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 5: Kirk Warner, Craig Morton, and maybe Jared Goff. So what

865
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 5: are your thoughts on the Lions quarterback?

866
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: J Paully. You know, I listen. I don't root against people.

867
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't you know that, But I do wonder. I

868
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: wonder what Jared Goff is thinking right now? Is he

869
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: not going home? Pully? Is he not?

870
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 5: He's going home? He wears number sixteen because of Joe Montana.

871
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. And I just think this is

872
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: a distraction. Jared Goff does not need that in the

873
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: pass rush of the forty nine ers. I just think

874
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: that could be problematic.

875
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 5: Paulf here's the other thing about the Honolulu blue Print,

876
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 5: if you will. The Lions have twenty five touchdowns from

877
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 5: rookies this year, the most of any team in any

878
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 5: season since the merger. So and think of all the

879
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 5: contributions the Cardinals got this year from once again. The

880
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 5: Lions were a three win team in Campbell's first year,

881
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 5: they started one and six the second year, and they

882
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 5: have falled out ever since Special.

883
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: Bowie, Who do you like like?

884
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 5: I like the Lions. I like the Lions.

885
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm going forty nine ers Balie.
