00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: So let's see the Arizona Cardinals went from New Year's

14
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Day and New Year's resolutions to January second Game Day,

15
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and it was all about implementing those

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: New Year's resolutions. Something you've yet to do. Round wolf Ley,

17
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't shake my fist at Moon, Sun and sky. Paul,

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: let's run down the checklist of Cardinals new year's resolutions

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: and how they fared on game day January second, let's

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: see rush defense check. Dallas had its lowest output of

21
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: the season forty five poultry rushing yards and their lowest

22
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: yards per carry all year two point six. Zeke Elliott's

23
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: middle name was Jack as in squad That was pretty

24
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: good both Turnover free football was on the New Year's

25
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: resolutions list. Wolf, Yeah, check that one plus one key

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: takeaway on d right, Yes, okay, let's run the ball, wolf, No,

27
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: we don't want to hear your run rate percentage run ratio.

28
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Run the ball thirty two times for a buck twenty

29
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: seven four yards of carry. By the way, the Arizona

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals this year, did you know when they run the

31
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: ball thirty times or more? Yes? They are nine and

32
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: oh yes I knew that, Polly right there? Okay, yeah,

33
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: they checked a lot of boxes ball. Is that your point? Yes,

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson check they're nine and two and Rodney and

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: then and then talking about the big red rage presented

36
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert we are santan Ford. Okay?

37
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Was there not another New Year's resolution to find another

38
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: outside receiving option minus d hop and double check for

39
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: two touchdown receptions by our special guest. Tonight, Antoine Wesley

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: will join us. Wolf, how about that? They cannot? Honestly, Polly,

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to talk to Antoine Wesley and get

42
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: his take as to what he believed the best catch,

43
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: the best touchdown catch that he actually had, right because

44
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: you can argue that one right there? Was it the

45
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: tip ball? Or was it? Was it the fade and

46
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: high pointing the fade right there? Most people would say,

47
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's it's the fade? Are you kidding me?

48
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: The athleticism, the frame, all that goodness on display for

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: all to see. For me, it was really the tip ball.

50
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: But I can't wait to actually ask Antoine what he

51
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: thinks was the best You know, I'm having a Ron

52
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Wolfley moment as my short term memory has failed me

53
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: here Wolf, because he was he was asked that question,

54
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: and I believe he agreed with you it was the

55
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: tip touchdown pass. But I honestly don't remember and recollect.

56
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: So yes, we're going to get an answer to that question.

57
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: That'd be awesome right there, Bully. I'd be shocked, honestly

58
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: if he did say the tip But because he's a

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver and we all know wide receiver. Oh I

60
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: love it the fade, throw it up, Let me climb

61
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: the ladder all high pointed and come down with the

62
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: ball as he did. All right, So the Cardinals and

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: the three game skid, they get the big dub in

64
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: big d right Cardinals fans behind the bench in Dallas, Shotton,

65
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: how about damn Cardinals. So that was good stuff at

66
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: the very end, twenty five twenty two Cardinals win, And

67
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing how the formula really is. No turnovers,

68
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: don't kill yourself with penalties. Let the other team wind

69
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: about the flags like Dallas has been doing ever since

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: that game. Oh my goodness. You know you run the ball,

71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: you stop the run. Funny how it all coalesces into

72
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: a win. A fact, here's Corey Peters just talking about

73
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: how the Cardinals took a step forward with the mindset.

74
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: We definitely have taken a step forward as far as

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: our focus is and our walk throughs and our practices

76
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: and our meetings. And this team has won a lot

77
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: of games. You know, we're not gonna change the way

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: what we think about our say as we know we're

79
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: capable of beating anybody, but we just have to execute

80
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: at a high level. And there he was after the

81
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: game in Dallas. So well, if your big takeaway, how

82
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: much better do you feel about this team going into

83
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: the postseason. I'm sorry, BALI really to read so much

84
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: into one game, but I think it was a big deal.

85
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: I think it was huge as a matter of fact

86
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals to win that game in Dallas.

87
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: Would you say Dallas is a formidable team, Paul? Would

88
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: you say they are? There's no doubt, even though you

89
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: can look at their schedule and say, okay, who if

90
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: they really beat that's kind of winning record to begin

91
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: I understand all of that, but I will tell you

92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: right now, they had eleven wins on the season. That

93
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: says this is a good football team, that being the

94
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, especially when they play at Jara World, Paul,

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: because you know they played better man their offenses fire

96
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: veritable fire when you play at Jarland and they actually

97
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: scored twenty two points in this game because your defense

98
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: went out and bawled out. The defense won a game

99
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: in my opinion for the Arizona Cardinals in a gross

100
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: simplification of the truth, they won a game for the

101
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: Cardinals by going out and keeping the Dallas Cowboys one

102
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: of the best offenses statistically, you could say, the best

103
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: offense in the National Football League, highest scoring offense at home.

104
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they kept him to twenty

105
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: two points when they typically score thirty eight. Man, they

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: bawled out, and they did it without two of their

107
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: top three edge rushers. Right, they did it without two

108
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: of their top three corners. So there are a lot

109
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: of guys, a lot of different names, a lot of

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: guys in different places, and they came through. And you

111
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: know how about the offensive line. Speaking of at Kelvin

112
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Beacham playing left tackle for the first time in three years,

113
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: I'd love the postgame video from the locker room where

114
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: they're giving out the game balls and everyone's fired up,

115
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: and then they get around to Kelvin Beacham getting in

116
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: a game ball for not giving up a sack at

117
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: left tackle, and he's on one knee and he could

118
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: barely even get up and acknowledge he just got a

119
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: game ball because he's so gassed after playing four quarters

120
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: at left tackle. Well, the guy next to him, Justin Peer,

121
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: was talking to the media today and guess what when

122
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's under center against Seattle on Sunday, it's gonna

123
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: be the first time that he has played with the

124
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: entire starting offensive line, that entire lineup. Here's justin pee

125
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: on those guys getting healthy, getting all of us healthy.

126
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: There's been spurts where Ronnie went down, There's I was

127
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: out for a little bit, Beacham was out for a

128
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: little bit. DJ Humphreys being out last week. Getting all

129
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: these guys healthy going into the playoffs is the perfect timing.

130
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: I think this is definitely something that is ideal for

131
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: this offense and his offensive line, and we're looking forward to,

132
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, continue to get better and better as a

133
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: group as we roll into the playoffs. And you can't

134
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: minimize the presence of Rodney Hudson, just the way guys

135
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: talk about him, the respect, the reverence for Rodney Hudson

136
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: and what he does for everyone, And what if we

137
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: had talked about it going into the game, Kyler just

138
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: looks more settled and more comfortable. And of course there's

139
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: a correlation, right if you don't have to worry about

140
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: penetration immediately coming through the A gaps, if you're feeling

141
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: that much better and he's helping you read the defense,

142
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: and he's making checks and calls everything. You know, it's

143
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: all about making sure your quarterback is seeing the field.

144
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: And when Rodney Hudson is out there, just Kyler's, Kyler's

145
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: performance seems to just rise. Accordingly Pauli, the first step

146
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: execution is going out there and actually knowing what to do.

147
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: That is the first step of execution. You have to

148
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: know what it is that you're doing. And Rodney Hudson

149
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: rarely makes any kind of mistakes when it comes to

150
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: going out on the football field and trying to communicate

151
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: blocking schemes and protection schemes to his teammates. He does

152
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: an incredible job of that. Now, all of a sudden,

153
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: he helps Kyler Murray as well in certain looks, certain

154
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: blitz looks or pressure looks on third and obvious paths situation.

155
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: He does a great job communicating that execution starts with

156
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: knowing what to do. Before you can actually do it.

157
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: You gotta know what to do, and that's where Rodney

158
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: Hudson is so huge. And then when you talk about

159
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: his ability as a football player to actually execute his job,

160
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, he's as good as it gets. What

161
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsberry say about Ronnie Hudson on his TV show

162
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: Game Plan, he said he's rarely wrong, so everyone has

163
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: that trust and Rodney Hudson what he's seen, what he's calling,

164
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: and honestly, well, if we got into this earlier this week,

165
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, if you told me, okay, if you are

166
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: basing your first round playoff game just strictly on the opponent,

167
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: I would take the Cowboys all over again, because I

168
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: firmly think Cliff Kingsbury and Vance Joseph we're a step

169
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: ahead of Mike McCarthy and company. If you're telling he

170
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Sean McVay, And what does Sean McVay

171
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: have in storing The last time he saw the Rams,

172
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I saw Cooper Cup wide open, and I saw receivers

173
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: wide open all over the field. If you're talking about

174
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and what he might have in store for

175
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: a playoff game, Okay, that's a little bit unsettling, right,

176
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: But based on Vance Joseph disguising all those looks and

177
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: even Dak Prescott saying after the game they did a

178
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: good job at disguising, just seemed like the Cardinals coaching

179
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: staff and game plan was a step ahead of the Cowboys.

180
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe, Paulie, maybe you're right on that one, But

181
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: what's it going to be in another rematch in two weeks.

182
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: That's a very very talented football team the Arizona Cardinals

183
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: beat in their place. I want the San Francisco forty

184
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: nine Ers. And the reason why I want the forty

185
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: nine Ers for a third time is because that means

186
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals aren't playing at home, and that means

187
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: they went ahead and won their game against the Seattle

188
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: Seahawks and won their division, the NFC West. That to me, Polly,

189
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: I would love that. I would love for the Arizona Cardinals.

190
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm getting greedy, paul I, honestly am I want the

191
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals to win the NFC West. Now that means,

192
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: of course, the forty nine Ers beat the Los Angeles Rams,

193
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: but man, I love that. I'll take that all day

194
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: in run, especially playing the forty nine Ers once again.

195
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: You already beat them twice and now the odds aren't

196
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: in your favor, but so what you're playing home, let's roll.

197
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Also means the Cardinals would have to do something they've

198
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: never done against Russell Wilson a season sweep Hey the Day.

Speaker 1: and Gilbert we All Santanford four. It's been gold for

207
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Of the Cowboy one under center is Murray.

208
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Ward is the running back. He takes he boots to

209

Speaker 1: the left. Now he throws back across his body into

210
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: the enddowe for a tondown. It's caught by Wesley. That

211
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: was Kyler magic that time and the Cardinals with a

212
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: huge touchdown here on fourth down, third and six of

213
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: the nineteen Kyler takes the snap short set, blobs it

214
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: deep near side of the one yard line. Oh want

215
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: to catch ant Swan Wesley into the end zone for

216
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown. How did he pull that down? And how

217
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: about the toss by Kyler Murray, a huge score for

218
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Early in the third, Kyler Murray with a

219
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: beam Antoine Wesley one on one on the outside. Let

220
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: the Big Bad go off and bring it down thirt

221
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: and six from the nineteen, preceded by fourth and goal

222
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: from the one. Cliff Kingsbury said a couple of weeks ago,

223
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: wolf I was probably the only one in the building

224
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: that knew he could really play. Talking about the offseason

225
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: acquisition of Antoine Wesley, I'm very familiar with him, said

226
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: the head coach. I watched him in college. Nobody could

227
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: cover him. And now guess what the NFL knows, because

228
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,000

255
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: just just so everyone knows, that's not an automatic because

256
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: both remember Bertrand Barry, the longtime host of The Big

257
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: Red Ray. Hey, Houston guy, his dad, his own father

258
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: would not give up is Houston gear. When the Cardinals

259
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: played the Texans. He just he still was a Houston

260
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: Texans fan. That was hilarious. He used to go at

261
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: it about that. What was your phone like after the game?

262

Speaker 1: of family members came out the will works. But you know,

265
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: I just stay strong and you know, pray to God

266
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: and you know everything everything was good. I'll just you know,

267
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: more excited that I had the opportunity that God let me,

268
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, be able to do the stuff that I

269
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: did out there for my teammates. And you know I

270
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: would just you know, being a kid in the candy

271
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: store just having a blast. That's the way to do it,

272
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: right there, Antoine, no doubt A bought it. But I

273
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: have to ask you this too. How many tickets? All right?

274
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: I know what it was like to actually have to

275
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: buy tickets for your family members. So how many? Oh yeah,

276
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: I had about I had about twelve twelve tickets? Man.

277
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: It was like Christmas, I'll ay it's you know, Christmas

278
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: is your your birthday? Is everything? Yo? All right? So Wolf,

279
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: ask him your question. We heard the two touchdown catches,

280
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: ask him your question. Okay, so here it is Antoine

281
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: right now. You had two touchdown catches. Which one did

282
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: you prefer? Which one was better than the other? Oh Man,

283
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: to be honest, I loved I loved the fourth down

284
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: fourth down one on the goal line. Oh I didn't

285
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: think you want to say that? Why? Man? Okay? So

286
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: so and in my you know, that was really a

287
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: good jump start for you know, not only our offense

288
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: but our defense. You know, our defense you know saw

289
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: that that we drove the ball all the way down

290
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: and that we actually finished. So it was more of

291
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: a you know, all week in practice that we were

292
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: working on was you know, finishing finishing play, finishing the

293
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: drives and and make sure we get that touchdown. So

294
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: I'll definitely, you know, more focused on the fourth down.

295
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: And I was, yeah, I was definitely my best one.

296
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, you're right, fifteen plays, ninety one

297
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: yards on that on that drive you capped it from

298
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: Kyler and yeah, the defense loves to get an extra

299
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: cup of gatorade right when you guys are going fifteen

300
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: plays and taking eight a half minutes off the clock.

301
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: But I tell you on the second one, take us

302
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: through that a little bit and and at what point

303
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: and do you start thinking, Okay, I gotta time this,

304
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: but I also have to body the defender. I mean,

305
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: what's your mindset? Is that ball leaves Kyler's hand? Yeah?

306
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: You know, um, you know high school I did a

307
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: lot of jumping events in track, so you know, it

308
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: definitely felt like, you know, my my timing was perfect. Um,

309
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, pay one through a perfect ball to me

310
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: where only I can go get it. And you know

311
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: we've been working a lot on that in practice, one

312
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: on ones um, and you know, you know, had a release,

313
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: had a good release off the line. Um, he tried

314
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: to jam me, made him miss. And you know after that,

315
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: like if I can get you, you know, side by side,

316
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: and that's I like that game. I love that game.

317
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I tell you. On the sideline, Buddha Baker was going nuts,

318
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: not only just about playing the touchdown, but he was on,

319
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: man he can get up. Anybody who listen. Buddha was

320
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: just saying, man, he can get up. So so you're

321
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: you're pretty confident when it comes to high pointing the ball. Yeah, yeah,

322
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: that is mine. That is my thing. You know, I

323
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: try to do as much as I can. I try

324
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: to find what's best what I can do, and you know,

325
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: I trying to look at the things that I'm not

326
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: good at, you know, And I definitely worked on you know,

327
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: high pointing the ball a lot, and I take take real,

328
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: real hard work to that for sure, you know. Honestly, Antoine,

329
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: I gotta give you an awful lot of credit, man,

330
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: because you have earned my respect. I know what it's

331
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: like to go out there and and fail. I know

332
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: what it's like to go out there and make a mistake.

333
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to go out there and

334
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: not allow my team or give my team an opportunity

335
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: to win a game. I've cost, in my opinion, as

336
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: a personal protector, my team, the opportunity to win a

337
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: game because I made the wrong balls. You dropped the

338
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: ball earlier. You dropped the ball went right through your

339
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: hands on that one. I've got so much respect for

340
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: you because you came back. You wanted the ball again,

341
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: did you not? You told Kyler you wanted the ball again, correct? Correct? Yeah, Yeah,

342
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: that's that's my that's my dog. He knows, he knows,

343
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: you know, when my mind said it and you know,

344
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: we practiced more than enough times to where you know,

345
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: one ball is you know, I forget about those things,

346
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: but you know I need to when when that balls

347
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: done to me again, I gotta wipe everything out of

348
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: my memory and catch that ball. He was holding guys

349
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: pretty accountable against the Cowboys during that game. He was

350
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: especially vocal. From what I saw. I can't hear what's

351
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: being said, but can you share with us when you

352
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: guys had a conversation? Didn't you after that drop back

353
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah? Yeah, he pretty much saying, you know,

354
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: he needs me, and you know I told him, you

355
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: know I got you. You know, just throw the ball again,

356
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know, put it where I need to

357
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: and you know I was a great ball to him.

358
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: It was a great ball. So excuse me, h Yeah,

359
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean I just pretty much, you know, just went

360
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: back to the basics, you know what I mean. I

361
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: talked to my coach, my receiver coach on the sideline

362
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: and I felt like I widen too much close to

363
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: the sideline and you know, how to fight fight back more.

364
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: But you know, a ball ball touched my hands, you know,

365
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: that's that's mine, that's that would definitely on me. Have

366
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: you okay, go ahead, I just say real quick, you

367
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: and Kyler go way back, right, and so you have

368
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: that relationship where you guys can keep it real I presume, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

369
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: So sometimes we don't even have to say anything. You know,

370
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: we got that look where you know it's it's already,

371
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: it's already go. You know it, it's good. Have you

372
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: always been that way? Antoine? Have you? Have you always

373
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: been tough? Because there's a lot of guys that are

374
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: front runners when everything is going well, give me the

375
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: baton and I'll laid the parade and everything. But what

376
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: happens when you face a little adversity? Have you always

377
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: been that tough? Oh? Yeah, you know, I got I

378
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: got a chip on my shoulder everywhere I go. You know,

379
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 1: I've I've worked my butt off, you know. Uh, like

380
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: I said, you know I have. I only had two

381
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: offers coming out of high school, and Clip with my

382
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: first offering and I committed right on spot. So after that,

383
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, I just felt like, you know, if he's

384
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: given me, given me this opportunity, you know, then and

385
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: I could do it. So you know, I'm proving everybody wrong.

386
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: You know, the people that didn't draft me. You know,

387
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: you know they're they're they're gonna get it. Well, your

00:23:54,520 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: rolled the dice. Oh my goodness, did you see the catch? Wolf?

460
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: He basically caught it on the back of the defender

461
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: Nashan Wright, who committed the penalty. He pinned it to

462
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: the helmet of Wright and then pulled it in as

463
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: he went to the ground, So it's a catch. So

464
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: they declined the penalty because he actually caught the ball

465
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: and getting caught it on the helmet and the back

466
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: of Nashan Wright. I don't want to exaggerate, but I

467
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen that in this league, in

468
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: this game before. That is not hyperbole, Wolf, I mean

469
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: catch of the year in the NFL. Gotta be That

470
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: was a no comprendo graph by Jonathan What it was

471
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: like David Tyree and the Super Bowl, except instead of

472
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: pinning it off his own helmet, he pinned it against

473
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: the defender's helmet. Paul, that is difficulty wise, that is impossible.

474
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: It's impossible to do what Jonathan ward did. And he

475
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: controlled the ball the way down off the other guy's helmet.

476
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, fault. I've never seen anything like it. Man.

477
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: And after that winning Dallas post game, I'll say the

478
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: same thing now to our Antoine Wesley, who joins us

479
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: in the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and

480
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: Gilbert that I said to aj Green, Antoine, I'm sorry

481
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: you guys had a great game the receiver room, but

482
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: you did not have the best catch of the game.

483
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: That belonged to Jonathan Warden. You agree with that, right, true, true, true,

484
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: totally agree. I told him, I said, oh man, you

485
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: inspired me. Oh man, that that right there? Yeah, I

486
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: want to try that in practice. Now, before we get

487
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: into some heavy stuff here, Antoine, I have to ask

488
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: you this right here, where did the nickname Tweezy come?

489
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: How long have they been calling you tweezy? Oh man,

490
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's been uh since, like it's like a

491
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: childhood name. Man, I got it because my dance a lot,

496
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: you get to know me, you understand because because we're

497
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: doing something no one in the locker room does. And

498
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: that's nobody calls you antoine do they Nah? Not really.

499
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: So in fact, Cliff Kingsbury mentioned it. He said something

500
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: to us on his TV show. He said, yeah, did

501
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,639

Speaker 1: our video guys about it. Who shot it? They said, oh, no,

506
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: it was good. But did you get some some stuff

507
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: from the fellas in the locker room? Did you get

508
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: a thumbs up or thumbs down for the most part

509
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: in that dance move? Oh, it definitely thumbs up. Everybody

510
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,560

514
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: by the way, real quick Wolf. On that touchdown against

515
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,760

00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: so it didn't Why was it? What was behind that?

519
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: Why was that meaningful to you to do that? Man? So? Um,

520
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, first, like I said, you know, Clip was

521
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: wash my first offer, you know, and I committed right

522
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: on the spot. And you know when I got to

523
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: the league, you know, I when I drafted and you know,

524
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: I went to Baltimore and felt like, you know, it

525
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: could have gave me a better, better opportunity to to

526
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, be who I am. But um, you know

527
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: they end up releasing me my second year in the league.

528
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: And you know, um, I was, I was at home,

529
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: you know, waiting for a call, you know, waiting for

530
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: somebody to call me, and you know, uh, clipping up

531
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: end up giving my aging that call. And you know

532
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: after that, you know I saw him again and you

533
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: know I told him I got your back, you know,

534
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: and I appreciate this opportunity. So you know, in my

535
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: eye it was it was more of a you know,

536
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: thank you for believing in me and you know, never

537
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: giving up on me, you know. So you know, like

538
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: I said, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for

539
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: that manage there. So I definitely sat very very high

540
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: in them. That's very very cool, no doubt about it.

541
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: An Antoine, right there? Okay, Tweezy, I'm gonna ask you this.

542
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: Does being a good dancer translate into being a good

543
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the NFL? Oh yeah, man, like like

544
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: like a like a dance it would say, hips don't lie.

545
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: So so it is in the hips, right, yeah, it's

546
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: all in the hips. See, I was a fullback. I

547
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: don't know if you knew that, Antoine, I was a

548
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: wedge busting fullback. That's what it was. And that tells

549
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: you immediately I had no hips. Yeah yeah, Wolf will

550
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: take your word for it. But that way, who gives

551
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: you a run for your money? You know? I honestly,

552
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: if there was like a Dancing with the Stars, who

553
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: would be your best competition? Oh, dancing star? You know,

00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: like in that room team yeah in that locker room. Uh,

555
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: I definitely have to you know, we already did a

556
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: little a little battle, but it would definitely have to

557
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: be close uh byan Murphy for sure. Murh Yeah, mursh

558

00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: epic fail? Has anyone you know, I mean, anyone stepped

561
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,800

576
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: like just a teaching moment for them guys. You know,

577
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: it's never a battle battle, I guess. You know. So

578
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: Tweezy did, what did your time on the practice squad

579
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: with the Baltimore Ravens. What did that time teach you? Oh? Definitely,

580
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: you know it humbled me a lot, you know, coming

581
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: off from my junior year. You know, I had a great,

582
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: great year, you know, thinking I was going to get drafted,

583
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: and when I went undrafted and any um, I got

584
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. You know, it definitely humbled me

585
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, I prayed a lot, you know,

586
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: just being patient, you know, mentally physically, you know, I

587
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: was working working out, you know, a lot more um.

588
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, it just being patient. You know, I was

589
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: waiting for my turn. You know, I didn't know if

590
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: it was going to happen the next day, you know,

591
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: three years, two years later. But you know, I was

592
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: just being patient, waiting because I knew, I knew I

593
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: had something special, you know, for football for sure. I

594
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: mean I'm looking at your numbers right now, and our

595
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: guest is Antoine Wesley, Cardinals receiver. He's still only twenty

596
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: four years of age. You were first team All Big Twelve.

597
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: Your junior year, you led Cliff Kingsbury's team with eighty

598
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: eight catches for over fourteen hundred yards receiving. You had

599
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: nine touch downs. You're six four. What did they miss?

600
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: What did those guys miss on you? Coming out in

601
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: the draft? Oh? Man, it was my forty. I definitely

602
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: ran a slower forty than you know, usual, But um, yeah,

603
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: I guess that was it. Because you know, the film

604
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: speaks for itself, you know, you know it will tell

605
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: you right now. I had my NFL moment when I

606
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: had my first fight in training camp. Okay, I'm just

607
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: telling you, tweezy, It's just the truth. That's what a

608
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: full bat does have. Have you had your NFL moment yet?

609
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: And if so, which which was it? And where was it?

610
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: I guess? Oh? Yeah, to be honest, it was actually

611
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: my first year in the league, my rookie year. And

612
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: you know it was actually when I was with Baltimore

613
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: and we're doing one on ones and I was going

614
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: against Earl Thomas one on ones and you know, I

615
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: had a good fatball jumped over them, and you know,

616
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: it was awesome and that moment right there. I was

617
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: watching film like wow, like I'm I'm really in the NFL.

618
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, I can really run with these guys. So

619
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: and that after that all th oh man, this is

620
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: this is awesome. That's important, isn't it? Atwine, it is

621
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: important to have that moment and say, oh my goodness,

622
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: I belong here. You like right now, watching you develop

623
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: over these seven games that you have played for the

624
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, you can see the confidence in you growing.

625
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: It's important to have that starting point, correct, Yeah, that

626
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: that is that is true. You know, like I said, um,

627
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: my teammates definitely helped me a lot with my confidence.

628
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: You know, it starts in practice, you know when like

629
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, today I had a good you know, go

630
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: ball and caught it and the old linemen are more

631
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: excited than you know, Kyler Murray. So you know, I

632
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: just love to have that, um, that trust, that that

633
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: that connection with my teammates. It's it's awesome. Well that

634
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: is a great segue to what we're gonna hear right now,

635
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: because here's Kyler relationship and trust with you, Antoine Westling.

636
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Off the field, we're friends as well, so you know

637
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: we're kind of just a natural Uh you know, click

638
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: feel that you know, confidence that I have in him. Um,

639
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, we we met each other before the draft.

640
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: We got the same agent, so I've I've worked out

641
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 1: with Tweezy before he was even with the Cardinals. So um,

642
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: now that one on the same team. You know, I

643
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: could already had that confidence in him. I know what

644
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: type of player he is. I know, you know, he's accountable,

645
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna be where he's supposed to be. He's gonna

646
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna make those players if I give

647
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: him the opportunities. That's man, I can't imagine how I'm

648
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: pooring that is. I mean, your quarterback first and foremost,

649
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: better trust you as a receiver before anything else. I'm guessing, right, Yeah,

650
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: that's true. That's true. You guys hang out off the field.

651
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, did I hear right before? Like you're a

652
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: big gamer. We know Kyler likes the game obviously, right

653
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: is do you guys connect on that level? Oh? Yeah,

654
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: we definitely connect a lot on a game, And um,

655
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: I definitely am. I am better than him at call

656
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: of duty for sure, But come on, get you where

657
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: does he beat you? Come on? Madden? Oh? Oh yeah,

658
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: he got me. Man, I don't play. I don't play no, No,

659
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: I don't I do not play no Madden, no two K.

660
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: I don't play no sports games because I get irritated

661
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, I would not do that, and

662
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: you know I can't control that. I love it, man. Okay,

663
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: talk to yeah, talk to me about playing the Seattle

664
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: Seahawks when you watch him on tape. What have you

665
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: seen from them? Tweezy. Yeah, They're they're very very good

666
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: dominant team. You know. Um, I definitely played with Jordan Brooks.

667
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, he was my roommate in college. Um, so

668
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: I know him very well. UM, very very very aggressive

669
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: to the ball. You know, he he makes big, big plays. Um.

670
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: You know, even though their their whole defense is they're

671
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 1: very fast. So you know, it's got to make sure

672
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: we we stay composed and the work at the team

673
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: and make sure we do the little things right. What

674
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: kind of coverages are they gonna throw at you? What

675
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: kind of coverages do you anticipate? We're most likely seeing

676
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: a lot of couple four like we did last game.

677
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: Couple three quarters four deep yep, quarters four, yep too,

678
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of two um, depending on how everything goes.

679
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: You know, um, it might see a little bit of

680
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: three um techniques, but it you know, whatever we see whatever,

681
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, Cliff dollars up, we just gotta be ready

682
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: for it. Jordan Brooks has had a heck of a season.

683
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: He had fifteen tackles in the first game up again

684
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: Seattle against the Cardinals. He's been balling this year, hasn't he? Yeah,

685
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: he has been born. We had the same agent. You know.

686
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: That's that's that's really like my brother, you know. Um,

687
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: but he's definitely been doing his thing lately. How important

688
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: is this game from what you're gathering in regard to

689
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: your teammates and their approach to this game coming up?

690
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it a situation where you think some

691
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: guys are looking at this as an opportunity to rest

692
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: and relax a little, or do you think this is

693
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: a precursor of the playoff game? Oh? Yeah, no, this

694
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: is this is definitely a you know even from the

695
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys that that was our or we need to stay

696
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: that stay that level. You know, we don't need to

697
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: be going down, you know, we just stay going up

698
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: on a roller coast and not you know, not Plateau

699
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: and not going down. We just need to make sure

700
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: that we stay consistent, and you know it starts with Seattle.

701
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: By the way, you caught that pass from Christian Kirk.

702
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: There seems to be a quarterback controversy over QB four

703
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: right now, Christian Kirk or Banjo. So I mean, which

704
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: way are you signing right now, Antoine? In that battle

705
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: for QB four? Man? Uh, I don't know. Banjol definitely

706
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of help from day War, you know,

707
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: Jay War made him look real, real good. So um,

708
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna have to go with oh with Kirk though,

709
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: I'm definitely that's my guy. Yeah, yeah, that's why I

710
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: love your perseverance, man. And keep your head down man,

711
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: and your eyes off, if you know what I mean.

712
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: And thank you so much for coming out on tonight.

713
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: Thanks Antoine, Yeah, thank you, thank you guys for having me.

714
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. There you go, Antoine. Wesley Wholf maybe

715
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: instead it's tweezy. We'll call him a dup the new adup.

716
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: But Adrian Wilson would probably pound me the first time

717
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: he saw. Maybe I shouldn't do that choke you. We'll

718
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: talk about the Seahawks next on the big red rage

719
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: a Seattle. We gotta do. Go Hawks, Go Hawks. I'm

720
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: gonna see y'all in the morning to do you can

721
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: go to Sweet Sea the morning. Russell Wilson, what kind

722
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: of show you running here? We got a family program

723
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: here and we got Russell Wilson with smoke stacks of

724
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: sacks as the music in the background. I mean, my goodness,

725
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: might have been like Russ can I can I talk

726
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: to you the first second place? Yeah, the snort and

727
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: everything in there, Okay, I mean seriously, Yeah, Well he's

728
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: got two years left on his contract. Yeah, at thirty

729
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: million plus, he has a no trade clause. But will

730
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: Russ be there next season? Will the Arizona Cardinals and

731
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: the az proved to be bookends to a Seahawks career

732
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: because we all know it started, that's right, Paula. I mean, honestly,

733
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: this is the end. It feels like the end, doesn't it.

734
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: It feels it feels like the end of a dynasty

735
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: up there in Seattle. It feels like the end. The

736
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks have played a certain way. I've been a fan,

737
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: you know this, paul of how the Seattle Seahawks have

738
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: played over the years. They were built on the line

739
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Everyone. Yes, you hear about the legion of

740
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: Boom all the time, but they were really really good

741
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: in the box. They were really really good at running

742
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: the ball. They were great up front. They've had great

743
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: talent at the skilled positions. There's no denying that. Great corners,

744
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: Isn't that right, Richard Sherman. They had great safeties over

745
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: the years. I loved how they played the game of football.

746
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: But man, it just doesn't feel like this is Seattle.

747
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: Seahawks football hasn't really felt that way for the last

748
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: few years. Think about it. This is gonna be the

749
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: first time they've ended up in last place since nineteen

750
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: ninety six, Matt when they were in the AFC West. Okay,

751
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: So that's why I was saying a month ago. When

752
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: they are firmly entrenched in last place, I mean, it

753
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: soaked this in Cardinals fans. Okay, you know the holiday

754
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: blessings that is Seattle firmly entrenched in last place. Pete Carroll,

755
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: coach Double Rainbow, has never won fewer than seven games

756
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: in a season in his twelve year tenure. So you

757
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: got a team that a year ago had won twelve

758
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: and they were the NFC West champions. Right now there's

759
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: six and ten. What do you expect at of them

760
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: on Sunday Wolf, because Russell Wilson has never been swept. Now,

761
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: they've Cardinals, have won a game, and they've tied a

762
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: game against, but they have ever won this season series,

763
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: both games against Russell Wilson in his decade as their

764
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Yeah, Polly. You know. The one thing I

765
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: want to say, though, Polly, is the fact that I

766
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: know they won twelve games last year. I understand that,

767
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: but they were doing it a lot different than what

768
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks have done for the most part over

769
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: the years in terms of building their offense around running

770
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: the ball and being balanced offensively. They really were heavy

771
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: in terms of throwing the ball last year for the

772
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: most part. And honestly, right now this game coming up, Polly,

773
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: do you want to say something? No, I was gonna say,

774
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: you're right, and in fact, Russell Wilson, and maybe it's

775
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: been the hand injury, the thumb injury, but think about it,

776
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: in his career, he's led thirty five game winning comebacks

777
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter over time, but none this season. Yeah,

778
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: the magic has not been there this season. There you go, Polly,

779
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: and there's a couple of things I'm going to be

780
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: looking at in this game for the Arizona Cardinals. Number

781
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: one would be balanced offensively. I really want to see

782
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: a balanced offense. Cliff Kingsbury's been talking about the fact

783
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: that man, every time they run, they rush for over

784
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: thirty attempts in a game. They're nine to O. Of

785
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: course on the season, ding they've done very very well, Polly.

786
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 1: Now that means, of course that you're in a game.

787
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: That means that you're in a game. And that's the

788
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: reason why I can flip it over on the defensive

789
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: side of the ball and say, where are those safeties?

790
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: Where is Jalen Thompson, Where is Buddha Baker? Where are

791
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: those safeties going to be? How often will we be

792
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: able to keep two safeties high? Because again, the Seattle Seahawks,

793
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: the area they've improved the most, I would say over

794
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: the last four games, in particular, is running the ball. Polly. Yeah, Well,

795
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny, their former first round pick who has been

796
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: injured much of his career. He actually over the last

797
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: four games has one hundred more rushing yards than Jonathan Taylor.

798
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: He's run for one thirty five or more and three

799
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: of the last four games. If you remember the game

800
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: at Seattle where the Cardinals won with Colet McCoy on

801
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: their first possession, he ripped off a chunk run, heard

802
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: of himself and never came back into the game. So

803
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: if the Cardinals complete the season, sweep up Seattle and

804
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: the Rams lose to the Niners, the Cardinals win the

805
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: division for the first time since twenty fifteen. Here's Kyler

806
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: Murray on that to be able to win the division

807
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: will be obviously a huge milestone, a huge accomplishment for us.

808
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it doesn't It's

809
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: just something that you can say you did. It doesn't

810
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: matter un once you get in the playoffs. So yeah,

811
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Sunday, and that's that's my focus.

812
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 1: For example, if James Connor and Chase Edmonds aren't quite

813
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: able to go and you're holding them out, are you not? Wolf?

814
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you know what. I again, Polly, I

815
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: want to see James Connor get some reps. I want

816
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: to see that if he's healthy. Here's the one thing

817
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm not doing, Paul. If he's healthy. I'm not holding

818
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: him out saying it's only one game. It's only one game,

819
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: and you know what, we're going into the postseason next week.

820
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: If he's one hundred percent, I'm playing him because I'm

821
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I am Bill Belijick. You know what football players,

822
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: that's what they do. And if they're healthy, run him

823
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: out there and blame if he's hurt it all nicked up. No,

824
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to force him out there. Okay, Well,

825
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: you know it's interesting, do you disagree with that, Paul?

826
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, look, it's been you're telling me if James

827
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: Connor's one hundred, if he's healthy, you're going to run

828
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: him out that. You're not going to run him out

829
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: there if he's one hundred percent. But there's no way

830
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna be one hundred Okay, Okay, So I just think,

831
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: p Yeah, that's for anybody at this point of the season.

832
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: I'll just put it to you this way. And I

833
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: and and and and I had a coach say this

834
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: to me this week, Um, can your name who won

835
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: the NFC South last year? Yeah, yeah, I know exactly

836
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: the coach that said that. Yes, I know exactly what

837
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: you mean. Paulli and that is correct, There's no doubt

838
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: about it. But once again, I love BA speaking of

839
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: that team that won the or didn't win the NFC South. Um,

840
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: you see what BA said, Oh, we are not resting players.

841
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: There's no way we are not resting players. And I've

842
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: think it's because of their own experience where they had

843
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: to win to get in and win to actually go

844
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and do it on the road.

845
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see what the Cardinals approaches on Sunday.

846
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: And you know, for example, Marco Wilson practice today for

847
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: the first time in several weeks. Okay, that would be

848
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: a big get obviously, so is he tracking Do you

849
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: risk it with that shoulder? Some decisions there, and exactly

850
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: because think about it, you can host a playoff game

851
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: if the Niners make it sixth straight against the Rams,

852
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 1: which I think we both believe is much more realistic

853
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: and feasible than a lot of people think. It's not

854
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: a fore gone conclusion. The Cardinals is going to be

855
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: the fifth seed and automatically go to Dallas. Heck no.

856
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland of the NFL Right and NFL dot Com said,

857
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: no way, man, She's got the Cardinals as the number

858
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: three seed all our computer projection and they could be

859
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: as high as the number two seeds. Special thanks Jim Alanro,
