I found something out on our flight home 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:08.400 from Atlanta that you will not find in the player 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.920 bio or the scoutter report of our very special guest 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.640 tonight on the Big Red Rage, Wolf that when he 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.880 stops in the aisle of the team plane, like when 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.560 you are chopping it up with him right, you know, 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:25.200 up there, Wolf, and there is no getting around our guest. 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.040 When he is in the aisle, all three hundred and 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.040 thirty plus pounds of him, he is a barrier to 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.520 entry or exit when he is in. Now you have 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.120 to wait till he moves if you want to get 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.600 back to the lavatory or anywhere else on that plane. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.800 I found that out firsthand right there on the flight home. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.680 You do that with everybody though, Bo although the Pauly 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.880 pencil neck, you're right, and pretty pretty much everything's a 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.000 barrier to entry. It's the Big Red Rage presented by 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.320 santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford and our 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.600 special guest is starting right guard, Will Hernandez here on 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.120 the Big Red Rage. Will welcome in and I know 0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:59.880 this is We're going to start right off the top 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.080 and we're gonna talk a lot of football. But sometimes 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.960 some things go way beyond the game itself. And we 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.359 saw the Monday night football game, and we saw how 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.480 Damar Hamlin, the twenty four year old Bill safety, went 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.400 from the game to critical condition after going into cardiac 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.280 arrest on the field. And you can see the Cardinals 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.200 social media. We've all seen it. All the NFL teams 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.560 have changed the avatars to Hamlet's number three jersey with 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.920 the words pray for Damar. I'm just curious. I think 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:34.919 everyone's curious our NFL players processing what everyone saw on 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.960 Monday night. Yeah, well, I mean you said it best. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.360 You know, this goes way beyond the game. You know, 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.440 you're talking about a human life, a player, and I 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.799 think that's the most important thing before anything, before you know, 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.520 any competition or anything. It's it's, you know, human life. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.800 That's the most important thing here in our health. So 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.800 completely heartbreaking to see that. And all I can do 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.200 now is praying and support that he'll be all right. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.160 And uh, you know that's there's a toll, isn't there. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.280 I mean there's a physical toll football takes on you, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.040 but there is the emotional toll, even JJ watt and 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.240 we'll get a lot into JJ wile later he mentioned 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.560 just the how mentally taxing the game can be. Correct. Yeah, 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.440 of course. Um you know, you see some of the 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:26.000 most competitive players in this league, even you know, um 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.440 have it take a toll on them, but even they 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.960 realize that. You know this, you know, tragedy is more 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.160 important than the competition of the game. And you know, 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.240 just the way the game is played, and so I think, um, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.720 I think even the most competitive guys in these in 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:48.560 this league realize that and see the importance will knowing that. Um, 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.440 you're getting ready to play of course this weekend. Do 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.240 you think you'll give it? And he thought, whatsoever? Or 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.960 will you be able to block it out as you play? Um? No, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.480 there The first thing I've done at any time I 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.800 stepped on a football field for for a game is 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.400 is I've blocked every everything out. You know, I will 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.720 give one hundred percent my support any way I can help, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.000 any way I can, you know, help with the situation. Um. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.720 You know once once it's time to play, you know 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.920 I that you have no choice but to block everything 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.720 else out, you know, any problems that you might have personally, anything, Um, 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.760 And that's and that's the only way you can you 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.719 can play this game. You know, you can't go out 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.159 there with with second thoughts or doubts or anything because 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.479 you know, UM, so I got to block it out. 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.640 And it is amazing not only the NFL rallying to 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.800 support tomar Hamlin and his family, the entire country. I 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.200 mean literally he has a foundation. They had a modest 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.040 goal at twenty five hundred dollars or so. That was 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.400 the goal of the objective. It's approaching seven million dollars 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.880 right now. It is remarkable to support that that he 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.120 has received. And Week eighteen is scheduled to be played, 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.520 and that means you're going to the forty nine ers, 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.560 and that means you're gonna have to get ready for 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.720 a four quarter game. And you know, you tell us, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.200 when did you start playing football? And you know, at 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.280 what point did you figure, Okay, you know what, I 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.080 have a future in this game. Yeah. So the very 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.440 first time I ever stopped on football field was my 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.240 freshman year of high school. I had no idea how 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.279 to play the game. I didn't know the rules. I 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.039 never even touched a football before. I simply just went 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.440 tried off for the team after seeing a short practice 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.640 from outside the fence, and I saw, you know, I 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.000 saw everybody getting after it, hitting each other. Because I 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.000 was a songer player before, so seeing the physicality in 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.400 the nature of the game, it's just it excited me 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.200 and I wanted to be a part of it. And uh, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:48.960 you know, it took one time for me to watch 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.760 one of the practices at my high school for me 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.040 to go and try out myself. So will I want 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.120 to get this right? You were born within the Las 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:01.840 Vegas city limits? Yes, yes, Um, you know the thing 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.400 about Vegas is where a small valley surrounded by mountains. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.919 So you know, um, there's no really like out of 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.000 Vegas area that you live in. Like everybody lives right 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.919 there in Vegas. It's all pretty much, you know, just 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.560 packed in there. What was it like growing up as 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:23.039 as a kid man in Las Vegas, Nevada? Uh, you know, 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.000 it was very fun, but you know, very different also. Uh, 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.320 you know, I grew up with you know guys people 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.599 asking me questions like, you know, do you have slot 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.279 machines in your garage? Or I didn't know people lived 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.839 in Vegas, you know, I thought it was just a 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.919 party town then. So uh, but no, there's actually a 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.279 lot to Vegas that a lot of people don't know. 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.040 It's a great city to live in. You know, it's 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.440 a tourist city, so you know, it's very well invested in. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.560 They take care of the roads, take care of the 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.279 streets clean and uh, you know, it's easy to get around. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:56.000 It's grid like roads and you you can have your 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.840 your water sport guy, you know, outdoors men. You know, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.680 there's it's it's surrounded by mountains, so there's there's a 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.000 lot to do. We also have like meat about thirty 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.400 minutes out. You want snow forty five minutes out. Mount 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.280 Charleston gets no every year. So there's actually a lot 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.840 to do, and it's a great city to live in. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.240 And uh, you know, as long as you don't uh, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.080 you know, head over to those poby tables too much. Yeah, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.720 I just hated to ask you this as well, Will 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.360 because you're you're saying that you were a soccer player 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.120 until you were a freshman in high school? Yes, yes, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.240 when did you When did you know you were an 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.320 offensive lineman? How old were you when you realize, Hey, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.200 you know what, man, I'm gonna be an offensive lineman. Well, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.600 I started playing soccer when I was five years old, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.920 and uh, you know, my pop's got me into it. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.000 He was my coach. Actually for a while. I stopped 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:51.080 playing soccer about twelve thirteen years old, and that was 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.400 because I was twice as wide as almost every kid 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.640 on that field. So that's when I really knew, you know, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.680 soccer wasn't for me and I needed a p see 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:06.520 other options and Like I said, football was very, very attractive, 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.920 and by the time you were done with high school, 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.800 you had yourself a scholarship. So there by the way, 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.640 speaking of your high school, Will her Nandez, this is 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.760 your life. Are you aware Chaparral High School in Vegas? 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:23.400 There is one in Scottsdale that notable alums include Mark Slaughter, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.600 frontman of the glam metal group Slaughter, I think one 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.720 of Wolf's favorites. I think he added on his mixed 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.000 cassette before he used to play games back in the day. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.880 Stop it. Did you know that that that the frontman 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.640 for Slaughter, the glam metal group, actually went to your 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.760 high school. I did not, but I'm pumped to hear 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.840 that makes me just a little bit prouder to be 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.480 a Chaparral alumni. You're not a battle guy, are you idea? 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.720 Do you like that? I mean I listen to everything, 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.240 but uh, you know, uh, just a little bit of 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.320 everything for sure. I mean back in the day, I 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.920 mean more spandex, more makeup, the better for Wolf. You know, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:01.240 he loved all those back spy colling and everything. Stop it, 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:06.000 it's good. How has your season gone? Personally? Will? How's 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:11.360 it gone? Evaluate yourself for us. Um, you know, it's 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.120 kind of hard for me to do that because you know, 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:17.200 I'm I've always been I've always been very tough on myself, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.640 very tough on you know what I do, and I've 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.840 could have done better and I should have done better. 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.520 So you know, it's it's it's hard for me to 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.440 sit here and tell you, oh, yeah, I did good here, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.840 and like I've always said to myself, you could have 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.200 done better here, you could have done better there, And 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.199 that's just that's just been the story of my life. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:40.960 And so you know, especially after missing some games. Um, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.199 you know, that's just something that's never happened to me before. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.120 So uh, you know, I got back trying to make 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.920 it up for it, and uh but yeah, that that's 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.240 the that's the facts there that I did miss some time. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.360 So just by that, you know, could have done better there. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.240 I vividly remember you saying when we had you in 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.440 the off season after you signed with the Cardinals that 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.880 some of your rookie year film with some of your 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.160 best work with the Giants. When you watch your film now, 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.880 have you recaptured some of that because that was sort 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.600 of your objective going into this year if I remember right, Yeah, yeah, 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.480 of course, you know, I got back to a lot 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.160 of what I did I started. You know, I had 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.880 like a whole sit down with myself. I did watch 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.840 actually a lot of the film for my first couple 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.840 of years, you know, just kind of remember those details 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.280 of what I was doing right and what I was 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.520 doing wrong then, and you know, people saying I was 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.520 having a good season, But okay, let gonna go back 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.960 and check to see why exactly it is that I 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.760 was doing and why people were saying I was having 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.000 a good season. And so you know, I took a 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.080 lot of those things, refreshed my memory, applied him this 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.600 year and then also along with things that I've learned 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.440 this year, because you know, every year you learn and 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.800 learn and learn, so you know, it was kind of 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.800 a combo of both, and definitely would say I, you know, 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.439 I went back and incorporated some of those things back 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.040 again to my play this year. So Steve Hayden, of 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.960 course has taken over the offensive line room for the 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.920 most part. Um anything changed schematically with Steve Hyden in 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.720 the room, not too much, you know, he you know, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.000 he did such a great job of going in there 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.480 and you know, working with us making it a team. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:23.880 You know, we do. We do have a lot of 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.160 vets in the room, even though some of them aren't 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.440 necessarily playing, but they still chime in, they still are 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.800 there and uh, you know, putting in their two cents. 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.000 So I think, you know, he did such a great 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.840 job working as a team with us and not just 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.760 making it about what he thinks or what he wants 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.400 to do. So a lot of the things remain the same, 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.520 and there are small details in there that you know 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.199 did change before the better. And this was a collective, 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.920 collective group. So the Arizona Cardinals zole line has started 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.600 ten different offensive line combinations this year, but at least 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.480 the last three games since your return, it's been the 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.360 same starting five the last three games. Kelvin Beacham earlier 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.080 today was asked just about old line chemistry. It is 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.200 a chemistry deal. And at the end of the day, 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.800 you have to have time on task and we hadn't 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.280 always had that at different points in the year, But 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:12.679 at the end of the day, that's what you call 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.280 to do. You call it to play the game, you 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.559 call to plug and play and the next man up 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.760 is a mentality that you have to have in a 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.000 national football league, and when there's an opportunity to be successful, 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.000 in an opportunity to leave a good impression, you got 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.400 to find a way to get it down. So will Hernandez. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.559 You would not be surprised to learn that Paul pencil 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.959 Neck has never played offensive line. Okay, So with that 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.240 in mind, how ill portant is that chemistry? Just having 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.400 the same five guys when you're trying to execute the 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.640 game plan? Yeah? I mean ideally that's exactly what you want. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.199 You want five guys that know each other and know 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.040 each other well played before you know, I've had a 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.800 lot of snaps. You know, That's that's great, That's like 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.920 the perfect scenario. It doesn't always happen like that. Cardinals 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.720 have been a perfect example of that. But I think 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.920 more than that, I think the second most important thing 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.719 to having an offensive linemen is, yeah, being able to 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:05.199 have that chemistry, but also being able to adapt quickly 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.960 and in a way force that chemistry when things out 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.040 of your control happened, like you lose a guy or 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.800 a new guy comes in. And if you're able to 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.720 do that as an offensive lineman, I think that's what 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:21.199 really separates you because you know, everybody can play well 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.520 when you're working with a guy that you know, when 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.199 you're working with a guy that you've worked with for 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.200 a long time. But how good can you be when 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.319 a new guys steps into that you've never seen before, 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.679 you never played before, and how quickly can you guys 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.320 adapt to each other and make it work? So I think, 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.080 you know, as good as as having chemistry is, I 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.480 think it's just as important to be able to adapt quickly. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.440 Will I was so impressed schematically with the offense against 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.240 the Falcons and how balanced it was from a play call, 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:54.840 personnel grouping, and quarterback placement perspective. When you watch the tape, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.880 But what did you think of your quarterback? I think, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.400 you know, David a great job. You know, just exactly 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.760 what we were just talking about, being able to adapt quickly. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.240 And you know, he didn't have much time to get 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.200 in there and you know, really have a comfortable amount 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.000 of time to study and and and get the reps 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.400 he wants and be able to see all the looks 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.920 he wants to see. He just kind of got thrown 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.560 in there with limited reps, and you know, I think 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.280 he did a good job adjusting to a lot of 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.120 the things. And he was in there commanding the huddle, 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.640 you know, putting ease out of in our heads, talking 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.720 to us, motivating, you know, everything the quarterback should do. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.160 And I think he did a great job. I saw 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.880 him interact with you guys quite a bit on the 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.200 bench right in between series. Yeah, you know, he had 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.560 enough to worry about it in his head, just schematically, 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.320 and you know what he has to do out there. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:48.840 So for him to come out and you know, have 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.200 that part of like talking to us and motivating and 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.920 you know, being able to have that leadership, I think 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.200 says a lot about him. And I really like that 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.480 about him. It's pretty remarkable. I mean, Dave a blow. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.520 It was the fourth difference starting quarterback for the Arizona 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.000 Cardinals in four weeks. That's the second time that has 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.040 happened to a team since nineteen fifty flow. Even Cliff 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.320 Kingsbury sort of shook his head when we relayed that 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.760 statue him on his TV show this week. And think 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.760 about a blow had basically Friday practice. Yeah, he had 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.680 reps in a Friday practice. Then go letter rip. He 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.360 threw at forty times in that game. Of course, you 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.560 guys ran it in that game as well. James Connor 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.480 four point nine yards of carry. That's coming off the 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.080 Tampa game where James Conner had five point three yards 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.120 of carry. Remember we asked Billy Price recently wolf about 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.360 what's one of the first stats he'll look at when 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.400 he grabs the old stat sheet for an old lineman 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.680 after the game. That's it yards per carry. We'll talk 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.440 about some of that in the Cardinals ground game, especially 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.120 going against the Niners team because they are known for 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.400 the rushing attack and they're known for a number one 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.120 ranked defense. We continue with Will Hernandez on the big 0:15:53.120 --> 0:16:01.400 Red Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert. It's a 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.040 run play up the middle, Connor down to the five, 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.280 pushing his way to the two, diving to the one 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.520 and close to the end zone. When they call it somesdown, 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.800 they do water run by James Connor. That is a 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.800 statement run by James Connor. Takes the peg and bust 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.120 it into pay dirt gift to Connor. Looking Laft runs 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.760 off the left side twenty ten, races inside the five 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:30.000 and into the end zone. James Connor houses it from 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:34.080 twenty two yards out. That's the Cardinals run game, wearing 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:38.440 down the defense in the fourth quarter. Twelve personnel, one back, 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:44.080 two tight ends run the ball, and James Connor houses in. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.560 He has seventy five yards rushing at four the last 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.680 five games. Over the last seven games, he's averaging four 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.840 point four yards to carry and has six touchdowns. The 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.080 Pro Bowl running back from a year ago back into 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.960 that Pro Bowl form, Let's see if he's going to 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.640 be available for the season finale. After he left the 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.120 game in Atlanta, Will Hernandez starting right guard as our 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.560 special guest in the Big Red Rage presented by Santan 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.720 Ford and Gilbert. So we'll pick up where we left off. 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.600 You know, to what degree do you look at that 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.840 stat when you get done with the game? Yards per carry? 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.600 How important is that to an offensive lineman? Oh? Very important, 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.479 you know. We we pride ourselves on that. You know, 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.840 if we can have all the passing yards and score 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.600 can be whatever it is, and if that yards per 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.520 carry is is low, where we're disappointed we had a 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.760 bad game. So you know, that's what sets everything up 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:36.200 in our minds, So very important to us. So Will 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.800 has this season taught you anything? And if so, what 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.280 is it? Yeah, I think more than anything. You know, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.880 we hear a lot of control you can control, and 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.600 you know, let whatever else happens around you just happen. 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.880 But you can always, you know, do things the way 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.640 you want to do them, and you know you can 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:02.320 fight through anything even though there's chaosk going on around you. Well, look, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.399 the Cardinals up front of played twelve different offensive linemen 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.880 this year, So that's part of what you're talking about. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.320 Just you got you know, and we've nicknamed it, you know, 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.760 beach and the backups. You know, before your return, that 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:15.879 was it because the other four guys were bad. It 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.600 was like so like a fifties band, you know. And 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.520 Cliff Kingsbury was asked, i think by our Jim Almahandro 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.520 just about the recent continuity up front. The more you 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.280 can play together as a unit, the greater rapport you have, 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.760 and the more comfortab you get with each other, and 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.520 then we know exactly what we're good at and what 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.440 to major in. And so hopefully that can continue to 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.480 be a tough test this week against that defensive line. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.639 But they've made big strikes last few weeks. All right 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.960 there you there, you heard it right, Nick Bosa and 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.399 the forty nine Ers defensive front. So what do you 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.120 think of when you think of that challenge? They're only 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.080 ranked the number one defense in the NFL. Will, Yeah, 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.239 I mean for a good reason. You know, they got 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.880 great players up front, a good front seven pretty much linebackers, 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.879 so you know, they got good players, they got you know, 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.560 captains there. But you know the thing is that they 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.480 got to bring it every week. You know, you don't. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.320 You don't play your next game really well because of 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.879 what you've done in the past or because of you know, 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.800 you have to bring it every single week. And that's 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:15.960 exactly you know why what we're going to go do 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.040 out there, just bring it. Will Do you think this 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.280 forty nine Ers front seven is the best in the 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.399 National Football League? I have to tell you. I I 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.800 watch it and looking at it, I think they're the 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.840 best rush defense and the National Football League, and I 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.040 think they do a great job of actually getting pressure 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.439 as well on an opposing quarterback. I think it's the 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.760 best front seven about you. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Um, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:41.679 you know I've played these guys too also when I 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.280 was back with the Giants, so you know, I know 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.320 them pretty well and I've seen them a lot in 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.680 my years, and so you know, I know what they bring. 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.800 And also, you know we talked about before. You know, 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.640 these guys learn and get better every year, so yeah, 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.360 we got to expect that and we got to bring 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.119 it and just just as much. And they have the 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.560 NFL sack leader in Nick Bosa's seventeen and a half sacks. 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.880 Cliff Kingsbury told us on his TV show that Nick 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.720 Bosa still holds it against him, sort of half seriously 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.679 joking around a little bit, a little bit that the 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.120 Cardinals didn't take him number one overall. Of course they 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.960 took Kyler Murray instead. Okay, So so Cliffs said, well, 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:19.840 in response, if you're gonna hold it against us, I'm 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:21.720 just gonna chip you all game. So that's the back 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:23.800 and forth that the two of them have right there. 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.760 But you tell us about Bosa and where are your ranks? 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.560 What makes them a great pass rusher and what's the 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.600 challenge for the Cardinals old line there? Yeah, I mean, 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.479 Boza is a great player, and I think if you 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.879 look at every player that you know is even in 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.000 the running for having the most sacks in the NFL 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.040 every season because they're not one dimensional, you know, they're 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.160 not just gonna you know, put the moves on you 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.480 and get around you, or they're not just gonna blow 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.440 rush you the entire time and get to the quarterback. 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.520 You know, these guys normally do it all. You never 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.119 know when it's coming. They could switch it up, you know, 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.720 blah blah blah. So you know he could do it all. 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.720 You gotta be ready for every and uh yeah, you 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:04.439 got to be able to uh you know, to not 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:08.000 only expect it from them, but shut it down. And um, 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:09.960 you know, game plan for him, and you know there's 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.960 there's ways to to stop it and uh who you 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.600 got to get it done? Who is the who is 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:23.560 the forty nine ers best defensive tackle? He might not 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.240 want to give credit there, You're like, you know he's 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:30.000 got a game, he's got the game face on. I'm 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.480 not so sure. Let me say this, let me let 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:38.280 me rephrase the question. If you don't mind, Um, who's 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:44.400 the best forty nine ers run stopper? Do you think? Um? 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:48.560 I would say, uh, probably green Law. You know he's 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.960 been he's been uh you know, very stout in there, 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.040 and he has a good push pull. You know, he's 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.280 able to get off blocks. Uh and be able to 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.600 hold his ground early and get off shed off blocks 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.480 and be able to be in the hole almost from 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:07.080 the two to the sixth hole pretty much. You know 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.920 he he gets in there, and so I would probably 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.000 say you know him Cardinals starting guard Will Hernandez our 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:15.520 guest in the Big Red Rage. Look, JJ Watt has 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:18.479 been that guy most of his career. When you think 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:21.440 of JJ and his final game on Sunday, what do 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:23.440 you think, what are you gonna tell your grandkids about 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:29.080 playing with number ninety nine? Um? Yeah, I mean the 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.120 first thing you can expect from what is he's gonna 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.480 just emptied the tank completely. So I'm excited to see that. Um. 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.199 And you know, I'm gonna tell my kids, you know, 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:43.679 I you know, we I get, I get along with 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.960 what but you know, hey, you guys, see that guy. 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.360 I fought that guy one day. I was gonna say 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.440 that wasn't the case in camp this year, there was 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:55.680 a little Okay, now that the season pretty much over, 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.560 tell us about the dust up with JJ Watt in 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.720 the dog days of camp. Oh no, man, Um, there's 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:05.359 there's no bad blood there. He's complete professional and you know, 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:07.480 if you could even call that a fight. You know, 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:10.520 I would say it was a pillow fight on my endum, 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.679 but no, he I've been learning from j j Y 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.040 ever since I got here. You know, we talk a lot, 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.640 you know, we we we're all in the hot tub 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:22.040 together before practice every day, so we get to we 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:23.720 get to talk in a lot. And he's taught me 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.960 so much just about his experiences and what he's gone 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.480 through throughout his years, and I just apply it to 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:31.399 my own career and to my own life. You know, 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.560 there's a little nuggets here there you could take, even 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:37.159 though he's a completely different position. Um, but no, Jesu 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.840 Wat's a you know, a great leader, a great teammate, 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.440 and he's definitely taught me a lot. So from your perspective, 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:45.919 how difficult has it been to be a player on 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.840 a four and twelve team? And what do you focus 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.080 on to get motivated for this last game off of 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.760 the season. Yeah, you know, so when you're talking about 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:57.919 four and twelve, you know, you every everything's out of 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.040 the picture for you. You know at this point, the 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.719 way I see as you're playing for your for your character, 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:06.760 for your pride, You're you're playing just to basically show everybody, 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.159 you know, what kind of mentality you have and what 0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:12.399 kind of person you are, and it shows through a 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.840 football game, you know, and it shows how you go 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.480 out there and you're still playing, like if you're you know, 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:19.240 trying to make the playoffs or if you're already eating 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:20.640 the playoffs but you're trying to get the first year 0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:24.200 or whatever. And so it's it's all about, you know, 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:28.280 the mindset, the pride and just having respect for yourself 0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:30.520 to go out there and you know, not just laid 0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:32.600 down for anybody, especially when you have a guy across 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:33.920 from you that's going to try to take your head 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:35.880 off either way, like he doesn't feel sorry for you. 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:40.120 So um, yeah, going out there playing just as hard 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.360 as out I would if it was any other game, 0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.720 and uh, you know, ended with on a good note 0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:48.760 for whatever, for whatever that means. Well, if I know 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:52.040 you love Will's mentality. It's similar to James Connor. James 0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:53.440 Connors ask a couple of weeks ago, what are you 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.119 playing for? What are you hoping to gain at this 0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.000 point between now and the end of the season out 0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:00.239 of the playoffs, and his answer was some respect. So 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.480 you know, I like that answer, and I know it's 0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.920 a it's a four win season. But someday you're gonna 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.280 look back at this season, and I'm guessing you're gonna 0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:11.679 remember really fondly your trip to Mexico City. Your grandparents 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:14.280 hailed from Mexico City. Before we get into it a 0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.159 little bit, um the grasshoppers that you had hard Knocks 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:19.840 documented at dinner that one night. Um, you know, tell 0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:21.520 us what is for those of us who have not 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.159 experienced grasshoppers is part of a meal? What does it 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.160 taste like? Can you compare it to anything? Yes? First 0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:32.120 of all, for all my health health heads out there, Uh, 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.440 they're very rich in protein, so you know you don't 0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:36.800 even have to eat many of them to get a 0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.920 good protein source. But you know, it's just the thing 0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.600 out there, especially in Mexico City. They're big, they've been 0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:46.720 around forever, and you know it's just uh, you know, 0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:50.280 part of you know, who I am, my parents, where 0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:54.240 we came from. So um, you know that was actually 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:59.239 my second time ever ever eating them, and uh, you know, 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.399 they they do it right. They put the you know, 0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.000 the chili the line on them. They don't just give 0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:06.119 him to your rout. So they're they're pretty good. So 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:08.399 will I want to make up for asking you the 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.120 tough question of who the past forty nine ers defensive 0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:13.919 tackle is. Okay, so now I want to lob you 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:21.040 a big softball. It's Fred Warner. Good. Yes, yes, for sure. 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.639 You know. Actually Fred, Fred and Knight train together before 0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.480 the combine and uh, you know we were we signed 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.600 with the same agency, and uh, you know, we trained 0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.879 together all throughout the process before the draft, and so 0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:35.560 I got to know him very well. And it doesn't 0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:37.520 honestly doesn't surprise me to see him where he's at 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:41.159 because I've seen his mindset, you know since uh since 0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:44.919 before he was even ever in the NFL, and uh, 0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:47.239 you know, to be able to see it, you know, 0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:51.000 personally and be able to train with that guy every day, Um, 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.919 you know, I it's no surprise. Is he a talker? 0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:55.520 Does Does he yell out your name at the line 0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:57.720 of scrimmage? You guys trade a little back and forth? 0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:01.120 Oh yeah, there's a little bit of that everywhere. But uh, 0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.800 you know, no, man, we we uh friends. Not not 0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:07.400 much of a talker, or at least since since I 0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:10.399 remember him. But you know, he will, you know, if 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.760 he feels like he needs to or or whatever, but um, 0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.159 you know we we we get along pretty good, but 0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:19.760 we won't we won't be getting along during those three 0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:23.119 hours on Sunday. Well, well, once upon a time, you know, 0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:24.879 I'm gonna I'm gonna tell this story. Once upon a 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.760 time I saw Will Hernandez and J. J. Watt square 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:31.560 off there camp practice. No, I get it. Here was great. 0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:33.080 But it's good to hear you guys, are you know, 0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:36.160 sitting in the hotel before practice and so forth. That's good. 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:39.600 We uh, we enjoyed it. We've enjoyed you. And I 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.840 know you're one of the what the thirty plus pending 0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:44.040 free agents. So man, I know, Wolf and I both 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:46.960 hope in your back next season. All the best on 0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.520 Sunday in this offseason. We hope to talk to you soon. Okay, 0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:51.600 I appreciate that, guys, Thanks for having me. There you go, 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.520 Will Hernandez on the Big Red Rage presented by santan 0:27:54.640 --> 0:28:02.520 Ford and Gilbert back right after this. Alright, goals are 0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:07.520 now four and twelve. It's another loss, but they played 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:11.520 well today, in particular the quarterback David Blow. But another 0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:17.240 defeat twenty to nineteenth. Just heartbreaking right now for the 0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:24.720 Arizona Cardinals. They play well. David Blow plays extremely well. 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:28.359 David will start last week. He didn't get the full process, 0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:30.160 you know, he just really practice Friday. So I want 0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:32.320 to see what he can do the full process and 0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.560 see kind of how he plays against really good defense. 0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:38.200 That was Cliff Kingsbury earlier today naming David Blow the 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:41.920 starter here for the season finale, Week eighteen Cardinals at 0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:43.840 the forty nine Ers. It is the Big Red Rage 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:47.600 presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford, 0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:50.680 Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley's special thanks again to Will Hernandez, 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.920 a starting right guard blocking for David Blow, who threw 0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.000 it forty times in the game. He had a Friday 0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.800 practice Wolf He came out slinging it from the get go. 0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:01.719 There was that third and four team on the opening possession. Boom, 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:04.960 he it's Hollywood Brown for sixteen. Everyone in the sidelines 0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:07.200 sort of like, whoa, Okay, wait a minute, maybe we 0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:11.480 have something here. And there were enough instances where he 0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.240 was going to the right place at the right time, 0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:16.440 and what he told the media after the game, that 0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:19.040 was exactly his main objective, that he could make the 0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:22.040 right decisions and prove he knew what he was looking at, 0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:24.200 and at times it looked like he was even going 0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:27.520 through his progressions a second, third, even fourth read when 0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:29.840 he had time in that pocket. Now, you're right, Pauline, 0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:33.680 no doubt he ran the offense like it wasn't his 0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:38.560 first rodeo, and guess what it wasn't. He protected the 0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:41.520 ball above all else. He made some great throws, some 0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:45.160 great reads as well, for a guy that didn't get 0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:51.560 serious practice raps on Friday, you know, or until Friday, 0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:54.320 I should say, I don't know what more you could 0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:57.280 have asked of David Blow he went out there. Paul 0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:00.400 I think I could count how many bad players I 0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:03.320 thought he had on one hand. Yeah, I really do. 0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:08.360 And I'm talking about bad reads, I'm talking about bad throws. 0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:14.200 I'm talking about physically mentally bad plays, bad decisions. You 0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.760 know what, you could count him on one hand. I 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:18.760 mean there was one on a key third down late 0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:21.200 in the game where Greg Dortch tripped right out of 0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.480 the turf Monster got him. I'm not exactly sure to 0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:25.280 have maybe his feet got caught up with the dB, 0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:27.360 but that ball was right on the money for a 0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.520 first down. There was another one down the seam to 0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:32.280 Tray McBride. He didn't get turned around in time. Maybe 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:34.040 the ball could have been in a better place, but 0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:37.600 they were Yeah, when he missed, he didn't miss by much. 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.560 And again for a guy who'd been in the building 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:44.080 for less than three weeks, just the operation, that's what 0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.840 Cliff Kingsbury said at halftime, not only ball security. To 0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:49.480 your point, that was a number one. Number two was 0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:52.520 just the operation of the offense. Will Hernandez talked about 0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.200 how I will he was able to communicate and calm 0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:57.200 everyone in the huddle. How many times have you said that, Well, 0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.960 if that's the first challenge, right, if a backup quarter 0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:01.960 back you can get the rest of the team to 0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:04.640 trust him and believe in him. And it looked like 0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:08.480 David Blau did just that. Yeah, No, there's there's no doubt, Paul, 0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:12.960 that's what he did. And especially talking to Will Hernandez, 0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:15.400 who backed that up right there. You know what I loved. 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.960 I loved the impact that it had on Cliff Kingsbury 0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:22.560 because Cliff Kingsbury as the play caller of course, and 0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:24.960 as the guy that was coming up with the game plan, 0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:29.240 Cliff Kingsbury really had one of the more balanced attacks 0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:33.360 of the season. And I'm I'm talking about schematically, I'm 0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:38.840 talking about from a quarterback placement perspective. We saw David 0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:42.320 Blow take snaps from under center. We saw it. It It 0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:46.320 was into the teens, fifteen sixteen snaps from under center. 0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.000 We saw him in the gun, of course, we saw 0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:53.120 him in the pistol. We saw twelve personnel. We saw 0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.920 a mix of personnel groups out on the field as well. 0:31:56.920 --> 0:32:01.920 Paul I absolutely love that. We aw James Connor putting 0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.760 his toes at six and a half seven yards and 0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:09.000 running the tackle zone. We saw David Blow running the 0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:14.680 boot and the waggle and play action off of that 0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:19.200 seven step drop and being able to throw the ball 0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.280 down the field because of it. PAULI. I was so 0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:26.200 impressed with the offense. And it just goes to show 0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:30.560 you that Cliff Kingsbury is not dogmatic. It's not about 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:33.160 saying this is going to be my offense and it's 0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:36.280 going to be this way or it's no way, it's 0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:39.560 the highway. No, that's not what Cliff is all about. 0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:42.600 And he tailored a game plan that I thought was 0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:46.600 built for David Blow. And I loved what I saw 0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:49.200 schematically and You're right, the balance was there. They ran 0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:51.800 at twenty seven times for a buck twenty six nearly 0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:55.080 five yards of carry, James Connor five yards of carry. 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:58.480 So and now now they get a nine ers defense 0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.160 that is ranked number one in most metrics. Now the 0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:03.840 Falcons were had the second few of sacks coming into 0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:07.160 the game, nineteen as a team. Nick Bosa himself has 0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:10.000 seventeen and a half. So it's gonna be a different challenge. Okay, 0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:12.800 here's Cliff Kingsbury and the opportunity at the Niners for 0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:17.160 David Blow. Anytime you're in his position and you know 0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:19.800 you get a chance to go in real games and 0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:22.320 show what you can do, it's it's huge, and particularly 0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:24.440 against you know, the best team in the NFC, in 0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:26.960 the best defense in the league. It's gonna be a 0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:30.320 great challenge. But yeah, I'm excited for him to see, 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.160 you know, how he handles that. But it's it's a 0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:34.680 tall task ess for sure, and we talked about it 0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:36.120 going into the game. They know what they have in 0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:38.920 Cole McCoy, they know what they have in Trace McSorley. 0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.920 David Blow definitely has a chance to earn himself a 0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.880 spot at least a chance to compete next season, don't 0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:48.240 you think I would think so, I mean, PAULI, especially 0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:50.959 based on how he played last week, I would think so. 0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:54.239 If he goes out there and he he repeats that 0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:59.840 performance the consistency thereof, and goes out and makes good decisions, 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:04.000 makes good reads and good throws, I have no idea 0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:06.480 why in the world you would not be bringing him 0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:10.799 back going into training camp next year. That is, if, 0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:13.040 in fact, he goes out and he plays well again 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.880 in this game coming up here, Hey, Paul, there there 0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:18.520 might be another team that is looking at David Blaw saying, 0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:20.480 you know what, there might be a little something something 0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:24.640 right there with this Blow guy. So listen, this is 0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:26.799 going to be a tough challenge. We know at the 0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:30.840 forty nine ers Paul lights out, especially inside that front seven, 0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:34.280 and especially when they're playing for something. They have a shot. 0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:36.240 With a win, they wrap up the number two seed, 0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:39.320 and if some things work out in their favor, namely 0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:42.279 Philly losing, then guess what, they can end up the 0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:45.319 number one seed with a buy. So there's plenty on 0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:48.160 the line for the forty nine ers, So we'll see 0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.400 how that goes. We know last season Colt McCoy and 0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.040 company went up there, gotta win at Levi Stadium. The 0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:56.200 Cardinals are six and two all time in Santa Clara. Okay, 0:34:56.680 --> 0:34:59.560 much different Niners team, much different Cardinals team at this point, 0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:03.000 and we know that Kyler Murray once again will not 0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:06.400 be there at the Niners. He had acl reconstruction to 0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:09.520 start this week. In fact, if you saw the picture 0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:12.440 he tweeted out from his hospital bed with the words successful. 0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:15.919 So there you go. And Cliff Kingsbury was asked about 0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:19.200 whether he had contacted and communicated with Kyler Murray. Yeah, 0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:22.399 it takes from yesterday went well and so now starts three. 0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:25.080 Having though, he was excited to get it done and 0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:27.240 get moving forward. And by the way, the NFL network 0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:31.080 said they also quote stitched up the meniscus in his knees, 0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:35.200 so that might push his return back a little bit 0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:38.080 more based on some of the medical opinions out there. 0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:40.960 In any case, it's uncertain as to exactly what the 0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:44.080 timetable is. That's right, Paula. You know, once again I 0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:47.600 said this before, it's pure speculation. There is no guaranteed 0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:51.160 timetable right now, there is none, But as a ballpark, 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:53.960 I think you can use nine months. You can look 0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:57.680 at that and say nine months is a ballpark picture 0:35:57.800 --> 0:35:59.600 right now, and that means typically you're going to be 0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:03.399 in September before you're reaping it a start evaluating as 0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:05.680 to whether or not Kyler Murray's gonna go or not. 0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:09.200 I just don't see him playing before that, Paul, That's 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:11.480 just me. He could, but we'll see. And it's one 0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:14.359 of the reasons Cliff Kingsbury today talked about holding Colt 0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:16.960 McCoy out not only just coming off a concussion. Want 0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:19.719 to air on the side of being cautious with anyone's 0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:22.640 health and well being, but you're talking about a Colt 0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:25.040 McCoy who could be your starting quarterback for a good 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:28.600 month or two next year. Speaking of joined the season 0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.440 ticket priority list and select your seats before the general 0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:35.279 public twenty twenty three. Opponents include Yes, the Seahawks, Niners, 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:38.960 and Rams, plus the Giants, the Cowboys, the Ravens, and 0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:41.600 the Bengals all going to visit State Farm Stadium. But 0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:44.680 Asy Cardinals dot com slash priority list for more info. 0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:48.319 That's Azy Cardinals dot com slash Priority list all right. 0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.560 More on the Niners. More thoughts from Wolf on what 0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:53.200 the challenge is gonna be. We'll talk about that next 0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:55.680 than the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford. In 0:36:55.760 --> 0:37:02.360 Gilbert Garoppolo waiting for the shotgun snap, he's got it 0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:05.759 back to pass and in trouble steps up lobs a 0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:08.480 deep right side cut by Kindle, the fifteen things left 0:37:08.520 --> 0:37:11.840 to the ten to the buckown. Great play by Garoppolo 0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:14.880 steps up and then he stepped up. They lost Kittle 0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:17.719 on the back end. It's a thirty nine yard touchdown. 0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:20.200 Here's a pitch the Samuel on an end around far 0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:22.880 side of the forty thirty five cuts right thirty twenty 0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:27.480 five twenty far side, fifteen ten five touchdown. Great execution, Baba, 0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.600 forty nine ers. They ran it, They ran it, They 0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:34.200 ran it. There comes this direction up play action and 0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.919 deebo Samuel on the end of rum. Here's play action. 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:39.279 Garoppolo throws to Kittle up side cut at the thirty 0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:45.320 twenty fifteen ten five touchdown sorts. Kittle puts it away 0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:49.759 thirty seven to ten with ten minutes to go. Yeah, 0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.759 that last play right there was as easy as it 0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.880 sounded from the voice of the Cardinals, Dave Pass. Not 0:37:56.000 --> 0:37:57.719 a lot of tackling. Not a lot of want to 0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:00.239 on that one. That's where it starts with the forty 0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:02.960 nine ers. They're gonna make a tackle. And look, I 0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:04.880 can bust out all the stats we want from that 0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:07.520 first meeting in Mexico City, Wolf, but we know everything 0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:10.520 changed at halftime when the Niners came out to start 0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:12.799 that second half. And what exactly did they do? They 0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:15.640 basically put the plow down, did they done. No, that's 0:38:15.680 --> 0:38:17.520 what they did, Polly, no doubt. They came out and 0:38:17.520 --> 0:38:19.960 they said, we're going to run the ball and you're 0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:23.520 going to have to stop us right now. And that's 0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:25.919 what they did. They lined up and they ran the ball. 0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:28.880 You know what this is the San Francisco forty nine Ers, 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:33.080 though it really is in particular under Kyle Shanahan and 0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:39.400 John Lynch. These guys believe in the line of scrimmage 0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:41.920 and building your strength on the line of scrimmage. You 0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:44.200 got to think about it right now, Pally. This is 0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:48.000 a team that isn't the top ten in rushing defense 0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:51.800 in terms of rushing yards per game allowed and rushing 0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:54.719 yards per play allowed. They're in the top ten in 0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:58.400 rush offense in terms of rushing yards per game and 0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:01.440 rushing yards per play, Polly, there's very few teams. I 0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:04.440 think there's one other team that actually can claim that 0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:08.040 they have that, that their defense and their offense is 0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:10.640 in the top ten in the National Football League and 0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:14.600 rushing stats. Yeah, they have a seventh round rookie brock Purty, 0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:17.680 last pick in the draft, and their offense hasn't missed 0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.479 a beat. I mean, whether it's the run game, whether 0:39:20.520 --> 0:39:23.239 it's the scheme, whether it's brock Purty himself. He just 0:39:23.440 --> 0:39:26.400 joined Kurt Warner as the only QB since nineteen fifty 0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:28.880 to win their first three starts while they're owing multiple 0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:32.600 touchdown passes in every game. He's been sharp. There's no doubt. 0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:35.800 He was the twenty seventeen Arizona Cardinals High School Player 0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:38.440 of the Year from Perry High School in Gilbert and 0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.279 then Wolf. They have the number one ranked defense in 0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.880 the NFL. So, and you made the point with Cliff Kingsbury. 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.520 They're not exactly going to dial it up, Damiko. Ryan's 0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.600 their defensive coordinator. He's more app to rush three or four, 0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:53.520 isn't he. No No dial Paulie, That's what they do 0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:57.360 right there. They don't have to bring five to get pressure. 0:39:57.480 --> 0:40:00.239 Five is a pressure package, and that really is in 0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:03.239 the National Football League, that is the scheme a lot 0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:05.840 of the time on third down, they're gonna bring five. 0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:09.239 You just don't know which five are actually gonna come. 0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:11.320 A lot of people like to play blitz bail. The 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:14.879 defensive coordinators, they'll play that blitz bail. They'll line six 0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:16.960 guys up on the line and all of a sudden 0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:19.200 bail one on the snap or vice or whatever it 0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.759 may be. They're going to try to do things to 0:40:21.920 --> 0:40:25.239 confuse your protection schemes. The forty nine ers don't have 0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:27.560 to do any of that. They have to line their 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.359 four guys up. I talk about this all the time, 0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:33.760 but there are basically three ways you can generate pressure 0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:36.600 on a quarterback, and the forty nine ers do that 0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:40.920 via the better than and that is just we got 0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.800 four guys that are better than your five guys that 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:47.000 are trying to block us. Are four are better than 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:50.080 and that's what they have. They rush for and they 0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:53.040 drop seven and that is who the forty nine ers are. 0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:56.160 But it all starts with stuffing you in a pine 0:40:56.239 --> 0:41:00.719 box metaphorically speaking, and rundown situation. Yeah, they've won nine 0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:03.080 in a row. The first eight wins in that streak, 0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.520 they allowed twenty or fewer points in every game. Now 0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:08.560 the Raiders somehow and Jared stood him, hit him for 0:41:08.640 --> 0:41:11.719 thirty four and he had three touchdown passes. The only 0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:14.120 other quarterback to do that against the Niners defense all 0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:17.000 year was Patrick Mahomes. So you have that Niners of 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:21.040 the division champ Cardinals. That's huelor chasing in the off season. 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:24.640 And Cliff Kingsbury was asked about this four win campaign 0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:27.080 so far, it's a year you learn from. You know, 0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:31.000 it's one of those deals where perspective wise, it's like 0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:33.560 things either happen four year or two you and I 0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:36.400 choose to see him as happening for us and lessons 0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:37.879 that we got to learn and be better moving forward. 0:41:37.960 --> 0:41:41.080 And sometimes you have to face adversity and you have 0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:44.560 to have a season like this to find the things 0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:46.160 you really got to get face and get corrected. And 0:41:46.239 --> 0:41:49.160 so I think organizationally we have a chance to get 0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:51.560 it right and move forward and try to be better. 0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:55.080 Look Ever, since the Cardinals were ten and two last year, Wolf, 0:41:55.320 --> 0:41:58.840 they've lost seventeen to twenty two. So whether that was 0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:00.960 losing their eye on the fastball at the end of 0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:03.799 last season and not, you know, concerned as much about 0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:06.280 the details, whether it's been all the injuries this season. 0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:11.120 They need to assess the situation and implement some solutions, right, 0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:14.440 They need to put solution into New Year's resolution. And 0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:18.880 for a league where once again, every year since nineteen 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:21.880 ninety there have been at least four different playoff teams, 0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:25.719 you can ascend or you can descend every single year. 0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:29.640 It can happen quickly, but it can go either direction. Yeah, Poly, 0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:32.640 you know again, I agree with what Cliff is saying 0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:34.800 right now. It is you can learn from it. This 0:42:34.920 --> 0:42:37.719 is where you find out who's really tough. This is 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:39.919 where you find that out. And I'm not just talking 0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:43.000 about players. I'm talking about people when you go through 0:42:43.080 --> 0:42:45.279 a season like this. I've been through a lot of 0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:48.239 four and twelve seasons, Paul. Okay, maybe not a lot 0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:50.840 more than one. Let's put it that way. Four and 0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:54.480 twelve season, five and eleven season. I've been there. I've 0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:57.880 been through that, and you've got to walk through it, Polly. 0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:01.080 This is something I've been talking about a lot this week, 0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:04.320 but it's the truth. There's an old saying in football 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:06.720 just walk through it. That's what you do. It doesn't 0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:09.640 matter what comes your way. Walk through it. Don't lose 0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:12.040 your mind. You don't have to run through it. You 0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:14.080 don't have to swing your way through it. You have 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:17.040 to walk through it. You have to be consistent. You 0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:19.480 have to have the eyes down and the chin squared 0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:22.320 and the shoulders back, and you have to walk through it, 0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:26.080 whatever it is. And if you'll look, if you'll look around, 0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:31.000 you you can learn more when you're walking through a 0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:35.520 dark period then you'll ever learn when you're walking in 0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:40.279 the sunlight metaphorically speeding. There will be change. Look, we 0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.440 know that much. It might start Monday for all we know. 0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:48.160 Nobody truly knows. But there's thirty two plus pending free 0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:51.920 agents on this roster. We don't exactly know where the 0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:56.239 quarterback situation stands going into next year. Look, you know 0:43:56.400 --> 0:43:58.320 there's going to be a top five draft pick. You 0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:00.920 would think Cardinals can still pick US two. They can 0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:04.240 fall as low as six. Right now, they're currently slotted forth. 0:44:04.800 --> 0:44:08.080 So there's a lot and who exactly is making some 0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:12.239 of those personnel decisions in the off season. So this 0:44:12.440 --> 0:44:15.160 is going to be a very proactive offseason. If There's 0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:18.359 one thing we've learned about this team is that they 0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:22.480 go about trying to correct whatever issues they just went through. 0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:25.640 We saw it after twenty eighteen. They were ultra aggressive. 0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:29.520 I fully expect that sort of offseason again this year. Yeah, Paula, 0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:33.040 you talked about the over thirty free agents that are 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:35.959 actually going to be free agents in the free agent 0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:42.080 period coming up. Man, that is a mass exodus, so 0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:44.480 to spaying now. Of course they're going to bring a 0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:47.320 lot of them back, and let's hope they too. But 0:44:48.480 --> 0:44:51.520 a lot of change is coming towards the Arizona Cardinals, 0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:54.480 and I think they need to rebuild from a personnel 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:59.240 perspective on the line of scrimmage offensively and defensively. Totally agree. 0:44:59.440 --> 0:45:02.279 Episode fifty four The Daypash Podcast, by the way, is out. 0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:05.920 It's U of A men's basketball coach Tommy Lloyd Special 0:45:06.000 --> 0:45:09.040 thanks to Will Hernandez.
