Here's Craig Grilou, Mike Jarecki 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: and Bertrand Berry. So it's only been one week since 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: our last show here and well a lot has happened 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: and that is something that we have come to expects 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Remember, we closed last week's 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: show talking about the schedule, which we will get to. 17 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty one regular season schedule is out, but 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: first rookie minicamp was held over the weekend. We've got 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: our thoughts, but be trained. One Hello, two remind us 20 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: how important those three days are. Yes, it's getting your 21 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: feet wet, but remember a year ago, no rookies, there 22 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: was actually nothing done either in the building or at 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: the facility. How important were those three days you think 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: for those young for the rookies and the other young players, Well, 25 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: good morning, first of all, And I think for these 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: rookies now, it's going to be imperative that they assimilate 27 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: themselves to the atmosphere and that they learned that Phoenix 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: is a different climate than a lot of the places 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: that that may have been before here, and this heat 30 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: is a different type of heat. And I think even 31 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: more than the XS and O type of situation, I 32 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: think that they're going to have to acclimate themselves to 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: this weather because I know, even coming as a VET, 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: when I came as a free agent at first medicamp, 35 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: it was culture shock. My body was not quite ready 36 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: for the heat. And to condition yourself for that and 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: the hydrate and get yourself physically ready to go out 38 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: there and practice and run around for an hour and 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: a half or so, that that's as big of an 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: adjustment as anything else. So, yes, you want to get 41 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: acclimated to the building. You want to learn all the 42 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: different places to go, meeting rooms, locker room, all that 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: kind of good stuff. But Phoenix is a different beast 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: and that you got to make sure from a physical 45 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: standpoint that you're able to acclimate yourself to this type 46 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: of heat and condition yourself as such. It's a good point. 47 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: They were on the field Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Media 48 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: availability only on Friday for about twenty five thirty minutes 49 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: and it was in the morning, temperatures in the upper eighties. 50 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: It felt good being out there. M J Yet said. 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: It was, you know, a limited amount of time that 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: we got to see and mainly it was about stretching 53 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: and going through a couple of drills. Twenty seven total players, 54 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: including the seven draft picks. There was just one quarterback 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: that was Cole McDonald. Some couple of familiar faces. Evan Weaver, 56 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the linebacker, the sixth round pick from a year ago, 57 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: spent all last season on the practice squad. Wide receiver A. J. 58 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: Richardson was a part of it as well. But I 59 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: know people want to know about the draft picks. Well, 60 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought there was a lot of energy 61 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: out there. I think there were twenty two coaches, and 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: so you had, you know, just a lineman on the 63 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: offensive lineman and then the D line. So they kind 64 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: of evened it out with some of the drills they 65 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: were doing, and all eyes were on the first two 66 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: picks in the draft, and that would have been Zavian 67 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Collins and then Ron del Moore. I really like the 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: Sean Jefferson some of his drills stuff that we haven't 69 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: seen the past wide receivers coaches and wide receivers coach. 70 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: He jumps in the drills, but you know, would impress 71 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: me with Collins where you know, they were huddling up 72 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: and he had to make sure he got the call 73 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: in and getting guys lined up, and yeah it's on 74 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: seven on seven, but he showed the leadership that they 75 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: talked about, that alpha male and he looks to part. 76 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: We're number twenty five, so I think everyone was just 77 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: his first couple of days and he is. He's maintained. 78 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: Nothing's been given to him, so he's gonna have to 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: earn it. We know he's going to be a starter 80 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: coming up in week one. One quick note before we 81 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: get into the Collins discussion, just because we brought it 82 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: up last week. B Train I do need to acknowledge 83 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: the fact that Victor de Mucage, wearing number ninety two 84 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: did look very good out there. I think he fills 85 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: out that uniform six two two sixty two rushing from 86 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: the outside edge. You know, again, first impressions are important. 87 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: We still got a long way to go, but I 88 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: paid attention just for you. I appreciate that. And you know, 89 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: he's got to have that swag, he's got to have 90 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: that walk. You got to have that coolness to him 91 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: in It's one thing to fill out that that outfit 92 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: that you gotta go out there. You gotta make those plays. 93 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: I keep telling you it's all about production. Once you 94 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: get the production, then all that other stuff just flows naturally. 95 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: And so if he's off to a grace or then hey, 96 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: I fully endorse it. Well. Speaking of a great starts 97 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: and literally starts. Zavian Collins the sixteenth overall pick the 98 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: line backer out of Tulsa mike linebacker, and it was 99 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: made very clear by head coach Cliff Kingsbury that the 100 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: expectation is that Collins and Isaiah Simmons will starts Week 101 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: one at inside linebacker that pairing. Here's the head coach 102 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. Two really fast trees, which is good. But 103 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: when they line up, they'll win the Prettiest Linebacker due award. 104 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: When they line up side by side, I mean that 105 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: those are two big, long, athletic cats, and so we 106 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: know there's gonna be growing pains. Obviously, two guys who 107 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: are getting you know, inductrin name to the league. Isaiah 108 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: played some last year, but as far as the full 109 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: time starter goes, this would be kind of his first 110 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: run at it. But they're athletic enough to make up 111 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: for some of the you know, experience they don't have, 112 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: and we're excited to grow with them and you know, 113 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: see what they can come together. No question. The athleticism 114 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: b trained. You're talking six four, six, five, two fifty 115 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: two sixty and guys that can move not only north south, 116 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,039 Speaker 1: but east and west. And if you've got two in 117 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: the side linebackers, as we've seen before within the Division 118 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: forty nine or Seahawks last year with the Buccaneers, if 119 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: you have two inside linebackers, then all of a sudden, 120 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: the rest of the defense kind of takes their key 121 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: from those two guys. Yeah, they do. But but Cliff, Cliff, 122 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: Cliff we got to work on the adjectives to describe 123 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: these guys. You can't use pretty to describe the two 124 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: inside linebackers. I mean, I look, I understand you know 125 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: you it was it was spurred a moment you wanted 126 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: to be reactionary. But man, no, we can't go with 127 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: the pretty. We're gonna have to come with different names 128 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: and different adjectives to describe those guys. They're athletic, they're young, 129 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: they're they're they're sleek, they're dynamic. Those are all great adjectives. 130 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: But but but pretty, oh don't. I don't know about 131 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: that one. But I do like the idea of two tall, 132 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: athletic guys that can cover a lot of ground being 133 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: on the field at the same time. Now, you will 134 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: be the one thing that works against them, but I 135 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: think it also can be something that works for them 136 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: because they've got young, fresh bodies that are eager to 137 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: get out there and be physical and play a physical 138 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: style of football. And the fact that they'll be able 139 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: to do a lot of things and play three downs. 140 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the biggest thing for 141 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: both young inside linebackers. The fact that they will never 142 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,559 Speaker 1: have to come off the field, and you can count 143 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: on them for at least forty fifty reps per per game. 144 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: You know, be trained last week maybe after the draft. 145 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: He told me that, you know, based on him playing 146 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: his natural position, you know, he should be able to 147 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: be a little bit further ahead, maybe than a guy 148 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: like Simmons who obviously played nine different positions at college. 149 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: But the importance of that, what is his biggest adjustment 150 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: going to be besides the speed of the game. If 151 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: he's calling the defense, the thinking he's gonna have to think, 152 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: because now he's in a brand new defensive scheme, he's 153 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to really get into the playbook and Mike. 154 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: For him, it's just going to be the physicality. And yeah, 155 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: you were thumper and you're a big guy, but you're 156 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: gonna be thumping on a much bigger, stronger men this 157 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: go around. When you're talking about the NFL, you're talking 158 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: about the best of the best. That these guys have 159 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: extremely bad intentions, that they're trying to do their job 160 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: to feed families. And it's not just about being on 161 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: scholarship and playing for good old university. You going out 162 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: there because this is your livelihood. This is how you provide, 163 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: and so that's going to be the biggest adjustment. But 164 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: if he's up to the challenge and he's willing to 165 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: put in the work and lift the weights and do 166 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: the physical conditioning, then I think he'll be fine. It's 167 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: just a matter of him taking that first hit, getting 168 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: a feel for how physical this game is going to 169 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: be in inside those trenches, and making sure that he's 170 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: adjusted and able to still play and react at very 171 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: high level. I'll say this betray Collins does have the 172 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: right mindset. At least he's saying the right things, because 173 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: there are maybe three or four different occasions when we 174 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to speak to Collins on Friday and 175 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: hearing Kingsbury say, yeah, we expect him and Simmons to 176 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: be the starters week one. Collins was asked about it 177 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: and he was very upfront and honest and look, I 178 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: have nothing, I have not earned anything as of yet, 179 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: and he didn't want any part of that conversation. I 180 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: like the attitude. He was also asked what he think 181 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: he needs to work on between now and that first 182 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: game at Tennessee. You got to elevate all your game 183 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: coming in as a rookie to play at this level. 184 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: You know, no matter where you're at, you got to 185 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: elevate every single part of your game. Because those guys 186 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: who have been here for four or five years, they 187 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: know way more than you, and they're way better than you. 188 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: They have efficient movement, they have them efficient minds. You 189 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: can see it whenever you watch them, especially on Sundays, 190 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: compared to you know what we're doing here right now, 191 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: and we just try it as a team. Just gotta 192 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: build to get to that. The other parts of this 193 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: story be trade, and I want to get your thoughts 194 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: is the fact that, according to Ian Rappaport of the 195 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: NFL Network, Jordan Hicks, the Cardinals have given him permission 196 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: to seek a trade. He've already accepted a pay cut, 197 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: but now something has happened. I don't know what, but 198 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: we've heard now that Simmons and Collins are going to 199 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: be the Week one star. They've been handed those jobs, 200 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: so to speak. Yet last year it was Jordan Hicks 201 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: who was the quarterback of the defense. He was that 202 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: mic linebacker. Now all of a sudden, he's relegated to 203 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: a backup role. If he's even on the team come 204 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: Week one. Where do you stand on all of that, 205 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: the business of the NFL. You have two for round 206 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: picks at inside linebacker, You're not gonna let one sit 207 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: defension and the other one just be on the field. 208 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: You've drafted them high for a reason, and you really 209 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: believe that Javin Collins can come in and do the 210 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: same job that Jordan Hicks did at a little bit 211 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: of a cheaper rate. And that's just the way that 212 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: it goes. And you asked me why I wasn't always 213 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: so big on the drafts as a veteran. This is why. 214 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: Because when you draft at your position, you know your number, 215 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: your days are numbered as a player at that team, 216 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: because if they're bringing in a guy at that high 217 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: they didn't bring him there on the defensive side to sit. 218 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: Other than the quarterback. There are a very few high 219 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: pits that are expected to red shirt there first year. 220 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: They expect them to go out there and perform right away. 221 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: And they have the same type of expectations for Davan Collins. 222 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: And you hear the language when you hear coach Coach 223 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: King's berry talk. He said, I see them both. I mean, 224 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: when again the whole you know pretty thing. I mean, 225 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: I still have my issues with that, but the fact 226 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: that they're already envisioning that, that just lets you know 227 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: that they have every intention on have both of these 228 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: guys be long time starters for the Arizona Cardinals at 229 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: inside linebacker be train. What about competition, I mean, you 230 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: look at Hex, he played over a thousand snaps last year, 231 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: and now, granted some of those tackles came down the field. 232 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: You look at Campbell, he had eight hundred and eighty 233 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: snaps last year. I mean, you got Tanner for Lejo, 234 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: you got Zeke Turner. I would think the Cardinals would 235 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: have some interest to bringing Campbell back. But you're going 236 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: in there with some young players, and right now that 237 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: there's been handed, the jobs follow the money, and that's 238 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: the that's the business of the NFL. Whoever is making 239 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: the most money that's going to play person is going 240 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: to play in And that's just the basic one on 241 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: one economics of football. Yes, I like competition at every position, 242 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: and you got to go out there and earn it. 243 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: That's how I grew up in the game, starting in 244 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. But things have changed, the economics of 245 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: it have dictated that the guys that make the money 246 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: are going to play, and competition isn't always necessarily the 247 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: motivating factor for a guy being on the field. That's 248 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: just the reality of it. And when you think so 249 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: highly of these guys, can think about it. They they 250 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of research on these guys. They 251 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: didn't they weren't able to go and see them in person, 252 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: and all this stuff was done virtually. When you lock 253 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: in on a guy that high at that position, you 254 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: have every intention of them coming in right away and 255 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: making a difference. And so competition is good, but you 256 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: don't want a guy to ultimately feel like he's looking 257 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: over his shoulder and play tentative because if he's doing that, 258 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: then he's gonna find himself in positions where he's not 259 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: gonna make plays because he's so afraid to make a mistake. 260 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: There is going to be a learning curve. And we 261 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: heard Kingsbury earlier in this segment talking about growing with 262 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: not just Collins, but with Simmons as well, and those 263 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: two guys together. Buddha Baker last week on The Big 264 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: Red Rage offered up what he thinks the biggest adjustment 265 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: for Collins is going to be here in twenty twenty one. 266 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: The biggest challenge he'll probably get is the speed of 267 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: the game. You know, guy, he's like you guys, he's seen. 268 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: He's huge, very fast. He thinks of hisself as a 269 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Brian or Lacker, So it looks like a guy who 270 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: can shoot the gap and you know, play the man, 271 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: plays zone, do the things that we want him to 272 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: do on a defense. So I definitely think he's gonna 273 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: be well in this league. And that's the one thing 274 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: we've always heard is the speed the adjustment from college 275 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: to pro and how fast everything moves, and even faster 276 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: when you get from preseason to regular season to regular 277 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: season to postseason mj as. All of a sudden, the 278 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: things are just a little bit quick, and for young players, 279 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: if you're even just a half step slow or you're 280 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: thinking just a little bit, all of a sudden, you're beat. Yeah, 281 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: And you go back to Tulsa, I mean, he was 282 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: covering running backs coming out of the backfield. He was 283 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: covering tight ends down the field. I mean, we'll see 284 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: who gets that assignment. Obviously, Isaiah Simmons has the ability. 285 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: You got Buddha Baker, you got the Thompson twins. But 286 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, I do like the fact that if they 287 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: can do a much better job stop in the run, 288 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: he could shoot the gaps, and that really relies on 289 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: JJ Watt, Jordan Phillips and Zach Allen. And if this 290 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: team is going to go base defense, maybe we'll only 291 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: see two defensive linemen down there with JJ Watt next 292 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: to Chandler Jones or Marcus Colt than guys like Baker 293 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: and Chandler Jones and Jordan Phillips and JJ Watt. Those 294 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: veterans along with a Zavian Collins maybe helps him as 295 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: far as that transition just a little bit as well. Well. 296 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: As Cliff pointed out, they may not have the experience, 297 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: but they got the athleticism. Speaking of athleticism, during rookie Minicamp, 298 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals did sign one the five tryout players, Tay Hayes, 299 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: cornerback five foot nine, one hundred eighty eight pounds at 300 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: apelach In states he has been signed to the ninety 301 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: man roster this offseason. More on rookie mini camp a 302 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: little bit later on in the show. Coming up next though, 303 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: we'll take a look at the schedule the first eight 304 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: games of the twenty twenty one regular season schedule.

A lot has 325 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: happened since that first big move of the offseason for 326 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, adding a player to the defensive side of 327 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: the ball, much to be Train's enjoyment, JJ Watt now 328 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: in a Cardinals uniform and he'll play his former team 329 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: in Week seven at State Farm Stadium, the Houston Texans 330 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: will visit.

That's the 336 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: first thing. You always want to know where is the 337 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: bye week in the season. And you also want to 338 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: find out where your primetime games are where you're gonna 339 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: be the only show in town where you can showcase 340 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: all your skills against another team and in front of 341 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: all your your your cohearts, and your your friends and 342 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: family and and you know, your your colleagues and all 343 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So those are the two things 344 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: that you you look at. But we talked the last 345 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: segment about the physicality and the speed of the game. Well, 346 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: I think for saving Collins lining up against Derrick Henry. 347 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be something that that that's gonna be 348 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: a welcome to the NFL moment because I'm not sure 349 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: there were a lot of running backs that quite booked 350 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: like there Henry that they played on Tulsa schedule last year. 351 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a trial by fire right out 352 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 1: of the gate. Yeah, Week one at the Titans. How 353 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: about Week two home to the Vikings and Patrick Peterson's return. 354 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: But you've got Derek Henry and Dalvin Cook back to 355 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: back weeks. If you're looking for some motivation this offseason, MJ. 356 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: As far as where everyone on that defensive side of 357 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: the ball should be focused on, is all right. Right 358 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: at the gate, We're gonna learn a lot about the 359 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: Cardinals defense and certainly being able to stop or at 360 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: least slow down the run. One word physicality. And you've 361 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: got two defensive minded head coaches. We know that, you 362 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: know Kirk Cousins is effective when you protect him, and 363 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. We'll see how much he misses Arthur Smith. 364 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: So you're playing really good defensive teams really don't beat themselves, 365 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: and they got two really good backs and they could 366 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: spread the ball around. So that's one thing that Cardinals 367 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: have talked about is being more physical the entire off season. 368 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: I think that's why the addition of JJ Watton, you know, 369 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: some other guys they've brought in at least on both 370 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. So three out of their first 371 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: four are on the road and get a chance to 372 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: play you know, a couple of division games in back 373 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: to back weeks. Yeah, the only back to back road 374 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: trips of the season, which I think is outstanding is 375 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: weeks three and four at Jacksonville with a new head 376 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: coach and a new quarterback, and then at the Rams 377 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: the first division game, and then Week five division game 378 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers. So, as you mentioned, MJ, 379 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: back to back NFC West matchups right out of the gate, 380 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: real early on in the season. Last year, there were 381 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: a lot of division games backloaded, and we know the 382 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: Cardinals lost their last four games within the division. And 383 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: then comes which I thought she talked about primetime matchups. 384 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: B Train. I would have put money on the fact 385 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: that Cardinals and Browns in Cleveland and what would now 386 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: be Week number six would be a primetime game just 387 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: because of Kyler Murray Baker Mayfield Part two. Murray won 388 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: the first matchup in twenty nineteen thirty eight to twenty four. 389 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: But that's the one game that I'm really looking forward to. 390 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: Here it comes week six on the road on CBS 391 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: at or on October seventeenth. Yeah, the Browns and the 392 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals are two very There are two upstart teams that 393 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people think a lot of, especially the 394 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. And of course there's still things to be 395 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: settled in the off season. We still don't know what 396 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: the rosters are gonna fully look like until you actually 397 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: kick the balls off. But when you look at the 398 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: rosters as they're presently constituted, Yeah, everybody thinks that the 399 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: Cardinals are going to make a big step forward. Everybody 400 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,239 Speaker 1: thinks the Browns in the AF, so you're gonna make 401 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: a big step forward. Of course, both quarterbacks were Heisman 402 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: Trophy winners at the University of Oklahoma. They were teammates 403 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: at one point, so there's a lot of storylines to 404 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: gather from that particular game. And I think with these 405 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: two teams, they represent the young, upstart version of the 406 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: NFL that is going to be the future. You see 407 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: yourself with Baker Mayfield with Kyler Murray on commercials, you 408 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: see them as being those all pros, those those perennial 409 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers, those guys that you see being showcased as 410 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: faces of the NFL. And so I think it's a 411 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: great opportunity to showcase both of those guys. And keep 412 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: in mind too, there's gonna be the flex schedule at 413 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: the end of the season, so you're gonna have some 414 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: opportunities to actually flex into some primetime game. So just 415 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: because you only have a handful right now, that doesn't 416 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: mean that that's how many games that you're gonna have, 417 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: because the schedule is subjing to change based on how 418 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: the season plays out. And I need to correct myself. 419 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: That game is a Fox broadcast Cardinals at the Browns, 420 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: but it's that late East Coast window four o'clock on 421 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: the East Coast, obviously one o'clock Arizona time. And speaking 422 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: of that matchup, Buddha Baker offering up his thoughts on 423 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: facing Baker Mayfield as he was a guest last week 424 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: on The Big Red Rage. Yeah, Baker Mayfield a guy 425 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: who has definitely has showed up and showed who Baker 426 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: Mayfield can be and that last game they had last year, 427 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: he was throwing some dimes and he's a great qbad. 428 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm definitely excited to go against him too. And never 429 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: played in Cleveland, so you know, yeah, thank goodness it's 430 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: mid October exactly, although I actually played there two years 431 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: ninety three. Okay, but before I was born, brutal, we knew. 432 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: We were always big fans of Buddha Baker on and 433 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: off the field, but even more so on that. Anytime 434 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: you get a little jab into the Cardinals color analysts 435 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: Ron Wiefully, that's awesome. Wasn't even born yet. You can't 436 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: get any better than that. All right, Speaking of how 437 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: we opened this segment talking about the first nine games, 438 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: and I was looking forward to Cardinals and Browns, but 439 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: I think J. J. Watt, DeAndre Hopkins, MJ really looking 440 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: forward to the Texans coming to town in week seven. 441 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: I think it'd be a bigger deal it was in Houston. 442 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: But the fact that Watt ten years wearing that uniform, 443 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: Hopkins seven years, it's gonna be a big deal for them. Yeah, 444 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 1: And I gotta think that, you know, if you know, 445 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: if the game was there, you'd see a lot of 446 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: ninety nine and ten Jerseys. Um, you know they got 447 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: a new head coach. As you pointed out, Bill O'Brien's 448 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: no longer there. We want to thank him for everything 449 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: he did for the franchise, for the Cardinals. But yeah, 450 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: it's another game. I'm sure you know revenge is well, 451 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: it's against the franchise and obviously you know things didn't 452 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: go well towards the end there in Houston. So but 453 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: the I think once the game starts, it's about the opponent, 454 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta be ready. You can't take 455 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: it personal and just play another game. Yeah, and those 456 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: quote unquote revenge games be trained as a as a 457 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: former player, and you see that schedule and the opportunity 458 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: to go against your former team. I mean, how much 459 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: has that talked about or maybe is it more an 460 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: individual thing. It's more an individual thing because you are 461 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: the one that has the experience at that particular place 462 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: and with that particular organization, and so that it lasts 463 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: for about a play and you once that play is over, 464 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: then it gets back to trying to win the football game. Yeah, 465 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: there's a lot of thought before the game. There's a 466 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: lot of thought doing pregame warm ups, you're seeing a 467 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: lot of old old faces. You're you're hugging and you're 468 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: shaking hands and you're reminiscing about the good old days. 469 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: But then once that ball kicks off, it's really all 470 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: about business. And once that first play is over, once 471 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: you've got that that solid hit that you wanted to get, 472 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: then you're about trying to help your present team win. 473 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's you know, revenge is really not the word. 474 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: You always just want to show strong. You want to 475 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: show that that if they had gotten rid of you, 476 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: that they had made a mistake, and the best way 477 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: to do that is to have success. Success is always 478 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: the best revenge. As far as I think from a 479 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: media standpoint, I mean, they're both beloved in Houston, both 480 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: Hopkins and Watt, and so I think would be a 481 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: lot of media coverage and the fact that hop spends 482 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: a lot of time there. Um, he's got a great 483 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: fan base, there is foundation, he's you know, raising money 484 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: in both states now, So I think there'll be a 485 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: lot of media attention going to that game. But Bertrand's right, 486 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: once the game starts, you got to move on. Yeah, 487 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: we're all gonna want to know what Wat has to 488 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: say or think and what d Hop has got to 489 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: say or think that week. But on the subject of 490 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: jj Watt and joining the Cardinals, we know Buddha Baker 491 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: is probably on his way to becoming the leader of 492 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: the team. Defensively, maybe he's already there in terms of 493 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: longevity and tenure with the Cardinals. But last week on 494 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage the subject of jj Watt now 495 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: being teammates with Buddha Baker. Here is the Cardinal safety 496 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: jj Watt, a guy who's been doing it for a 497 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: very long time and a guy who's definitely feels a 498 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: lot of excitement about coming onto the team and talk 499 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: to guys, already texted guys and seeing how guys are doing. 500 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's asking me about guys and you know 501 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: what they like to do, what they don't like to do. 502 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: So he's definitely invested and he's a great player and 503 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: to see him and channel on office sides is definitely 504 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: gonna get offenses in some trouble. It's good to hear 505 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker say the word invested that jj Watt not 506 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: only we know he wants to be here, but he's 507 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: also doing what it takes and not just saying all 508 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: the right things the first half of the schedule, the 509 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: last two games. As we look at the first nine 510 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: games here in this segment, after the home game against 511 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: the Texans, a short week, you got the Packers come 512 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: to town on Thursday night football. I think this sets 513 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: up well because you're home on that Sunday, no travel 514 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: home again for the Thursday night game, and of course 515 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: be trained with Aaron Rodgers, perhaps the quarterback of the 516 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. We don't know, but we know what 517 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: happens when Aaron Rodgers comes to State Farm Stadium. In fact, 518 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: this will be his first visit to Arizona since that 519 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen playoff game that the Cardinals won in overtime. 520 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: But that's that's another game that I think, even though 521 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: it's a short week, that people will have a lot 522 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: of eyes on question. And I think that's one of 523 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: the great things about this schedule is that there's a 524 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: lot of drama, you know it. I mean, it's like 525 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: watching young in the Wrestlers. I mean, you know, you've 526 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: got all these storylines about these guys coming into town, 527 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: and we know with the Green Bay Packers, who's going 528 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: to be the quarterback is it gonna be Aaron Rodgers. Well, 529 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: even with Aaron Rodgers the last couple of times they've 530 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: come out to State Farm Stadium and has an endo 531 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: will even with Aaron Rodgers. So though the Cardinals shouldn't 532 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: have any seer of the Green Bay Packers, even though 533 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: this is a team that's gotten the back to back 534 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: NFC championship games and the fact that they're going to 535 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: be a hallway across the country on short rest, that 536 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: is a huge advantage for the Arizona Cardinals and to 537 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to beat one of the better teams 538 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: in recent history in the NFC and maybe replace them 539 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: as one of those playoff teams. I think there's going 540 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: to be a lot of storyline behind that game, and 541 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see whoever is at quarterback of the 542 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers because who that team is still going 543 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: to be a very good team with a lot of 544 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: good players. Yeah, back to back weeks, as you pointed out, 545 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: both home games against the Texans and Packers, and right now, 546 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: you know Deshaun Watson will see what happens there and 547 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: then Aaron Rodgers. So it'd be interested to see who 548 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are going to be because there are you know, 549 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: I'm with be Champ. Bring on Watson and bring on Rodgers. Yeah, 550 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: two straight home games and then on the road week 551 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: nine at the forty nine Ers, and that will come 552 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: the season series against the forty nine Ers as far 553 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: as within the division is concerned. So that's a look 554 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: at the first nine games uh the twenty twenty one 555 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: regular season.

A 567 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: Baker came flying in there with a head dropped down 568 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: by Baker at the thirty five hard line Boode Baker 569 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: on the safety blitz.

Hopefully here 576 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that's in twenty twenty one. As we 577 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: welcome me back to the Cardinals, Red Seaberport, Craig Rielu, 578 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki, and Bertram Barry, as we continue to examine 579 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals twenty twenty one. A regular season schedule, the 580 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: second half, if you will, the final eight games, if 581 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: you will, which includes two matchups against the Seattle Seahawks. 582 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: And we know that Buddha Baker from that area loves 583 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: playing the Seahawks. But there is something different, MJ when 584 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: you talk about Cardinals Seahawks, whether it's in Seattle or 585 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: here in Arizona. I mean, and they were twelve and 586 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: four last year, and last time I checked I think 587 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: they only missed the postseason one time with Pete Carroll 588 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson. They retained Chris Carson. You know, they 589 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: still got some white outs defensively, they got some new faces. 590 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: But I mean they're gonna go as Russell Wilson goes. 591 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: But it's always a fantastic matchup. And I go back 592 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: to last year, you know, the game against the Seahawks 593 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: kind of you know, the Cardinals win in Week one 594 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: against the Niners and they get off to a two 595 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: and oil start against the Seahawks and they finished two 596 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: and four, and that can't happen this year. No, that 597 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: was something that the Cardinals definitely need to basically switch 598 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: and go four and two in the division week eleven 599 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: at Seattle, and in the Cardinals will close with the 600 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: Seahawks week eighteen at State Farm Stadium, and it is 601 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: a matchup, especially when the Cardinals go to Seattle four 602 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: and two over the past six visits to Seattle. Buddha 603 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: Baker on The Big Red Rage last week talking about 604 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: going to Seattle and how much fun that is. It 605 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: was so weird. All twenty twenty was strange, but to 606 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: be in Seattle and have no fans. I mean, I 607 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: can't believe I'm about to say this. I almost missed 608 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: the twelves, almost missed the twelves, you know, but they 609 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: fired you guys up, don't they. That venue, in that 610 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: noise level, you guys, it just seems like you're guaranteed 611 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: to play a good game just because it's you against 612 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: the world in that venue. Yeah, that's how it feels. 613 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: It's definitely excited, especially coming out that locker room and 614 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: that Seahawks Heckler always you're saying whatever. It's definitely fun, 615 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, going against them in their hometown. For do 616 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, was it two years ago? He ripped my backpack? 617 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: He said, uh, he said, my nine year old daughter 618 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: has that backpack. He ripped me the sideline guy has 619 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: he he ever had a sign at your expense or 620 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: as he said anything the Heckler guy about you, no 621 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: sign in my expense. But he called me little guy 622 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: one time two years ago and called me a little 623 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: guy before that game. In that game, I kind of 624 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: I think I injured like two or three of their 625 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: running back of that game and we got a w 626 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: and after the game. Was very cool of him. He 627 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: definitely accepted a loss, and we shipped hands that Heckler 628 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: right outside the visitor's tunnel. Beatrain, You have any stories 629 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: about the Seattle Seahawks Heckler, Yeah, I had the same 630 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: jerk out there when I was playing, and you know, 631 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to hoops upside his head a few times, 632 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: but you know I always digressed and I just ignored 633 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: him and I just took it out on his team. 634 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,719 Speaker 1: So and that's how you shut guys up like that, 635 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: as you just go out there and you fall out, 636 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: and when they see you ball out, then they don't 637 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: have anything to say after that. You know, they have 638 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: to shake your hand, they have to give you that respect. 639 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: And so you always look for any slight and the 640 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: biggest competitors are looking for anything to get them going. 641 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was a famous guy that used anything, and 642 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: you know I kind of used that same monica too, 643 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: Like anything I could use to get myself up for 644 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: a game, I was gonna use. And and that guy 645 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: was always welcome because he was never not going to 646 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: motivate me to want to go out there and beat 647 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: up on the Seattle Seahawk. So I loved him and 648 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: I thought that he was one of my favorite guys, 649 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: because I knew I was gonna be ready to play 650 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: once I heard his mouth. Yeah, a lot of you happened. 651 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: But at least at the end of the game, he's 652 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: not in the parking lot going home. He's congratulating the opponent. 653 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: It's just fascinating though, how many times the Cardinals have 654 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: won up there, maybe on more under Bruce Arians, you know, yeah, 655 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: and then how much they've won here, even though last 656 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: year the Cardinals were able to take care of But 657 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: it's just a great rival and I think it's very 658 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: similar to the forty nine ers when they're you know, 659 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: when they're winning, and also with the Rams. Well, if 660 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: the Cardinals can go into Seattle on that November twenty 661 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: first and come away with the win, it's going to 662 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: make the next week that much more enjoyable. Week twelve 663 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: is the Cardinals bye week, November twenty eighth. In fact, 664 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: be trained, it's Thanksgiving week, and yeah, it's a little 665 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: bit later of a bye week. We've seen some teams 666 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: this coming season would buys in Week thirteen, Week fourteen 667 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: just because of the seventeen games and now an eighteen 668 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: week regular season schedule for the entirety of the NFL. 669 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: Do you like where the buy is and especially it 670 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: happening over a holiday weekend. Yeah, I think those guys 671 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: will be very thankful for the fact that they have 672 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: that week off, And I think the turkey would taste 673 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: that much better when you have that weekend off and 674 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about leaving early for practice 675 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 1: and starting the dinner later because you don't get out 676 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: of practice tool later, and all these other adjustments around 677 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: family holidays and things of that nature. So yeah, I 678 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: think for them, they'll have a clear idea of what 679 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: they need to do in the last stretch of the 680 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: season in order to make a playoff push or even 681 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: make a division push. So I don't have a problem 682 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: with it. I just think that they're going to have 683 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: to really make sure that they're pros about taking care 684 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: of their bodies and making sure that they do the 685 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: extra You can't just do what's required in order to 686 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: get through that type of gauntlet all the way up 687 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving. You got to do some extra massage, you've 688 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: got to do some extra stretching, you've got to let 689 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: some professionals come in and work on it. Due to ibs, 690 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: all those different type of things to give yourself an 691 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: opportunity to compete at the highest possible level. Well, they 692 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: got to play better coming out of bye week. This 693 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: is a team if you look last year three and 694 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: six after the bye week, Year one under head coach 695 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury two and three after the bye week. And 696 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: if you want to make a playoff push, you have 697 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: to have a winning record after the buy and the 698 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals have not in the first two seasons under Kingsbury. Yeah, 699 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: and he likes where the buy is. You just hope 700 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: this team comes back motivated because then you go on 701 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: the road. Could be the first quote cold weather game 702 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears in week thirteen. That's going to 703 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: be an early eleven am start. You know we're going 704 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: to see Justin Fields. Is that going to be Andy Dalton? 705 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 1: We know they've got a good defense. You've also got 706 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: in that second half primetime games. Monday night football home 707 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 1: game against the Rams, and then how about this beat 708 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: train On Christmas Day on the NFL Network, the Cardinals 709 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: will host the Indianapolis Colts. It's a late kid costs 710 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: six fifteen. We talk about playing on Thanksgiving on how 711 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Lions own that, and then there's now 712 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: a third game on Thanksgiving Day. But what about playing 713 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: on Christmas Day? This be the third time in Cardinals 714 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 1: history that they play on Christmas Day. Well, you gotta 715 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: go out there and play. You gotta be a professional 716 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: about it. Most guys would love to be there with 717 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: their kids opening up presents and all that kind of 718 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: good stuff, and you know, to be quite frank, Christmas 719 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: is one of the few holidays that I really accept 720 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: as a true holiday. So yeah, it's a bit of 721 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: a bummer, but I think to have that showcase to 722 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: go out there and play. Usually basketball owns Christmas Day, 723 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: but I think for the NFL, they want to throw 724 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: their hat in the ring on that on that holiday 725 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: and make sure that that they're represented as well. And 726 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: what greater opportunity to showcase what you can do than 727 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 1: to go out there and ball out on the day 728 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: that Our Lord and Savory was born. I mean, I 729 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: think it's a it's a great chance to do what 730 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: you need to do. And being as that that will 731 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: be during the playoff push, you definitely want to go 732 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: out there and play well against a team that was 733 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year. So if they look at 734 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: it the correct wave, which is a tremendous challenge. Then 735 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: I think this is this will be a great opportunity 736 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: and must see TV. Well, and then I got I'll 737 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: ask you about the next week at the Dallas Cowboys 738 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: at and T standing, you went, oh, Kyla Murray likes 739 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: playing in that building seven and oh, I can already 740 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: hear you're grumbling whenever anyone mentions Dallas or the Cowboys 741 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,280 Speaker 1: or the Dallas Cowboys together. Come on, and B Trainer, 742 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: I know you got that game circle down your calendar 743 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: on January second. Yeah, you know that Happy New year, 744 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: B Training. You know you got the Houston Texas, and 745 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: then you got that other team in Tech. We don't 746 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: even we don't even say their name, but I know 747 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: that that Kyler and crew will be motivated. They had 748 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: a great experience out there last year, had some success, 749 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: and they're going to be a much improved team. You 750 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: definitely want to see them at their healthy as Dak 751 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: Chris guide and included in. You just want to beat 752 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: them because you know that they're going to have a 753 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: lot of attention. They're gonna always have that attention, which 754 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: is annoying in and of itself, but The fact is, 755 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: if you can beat that team, it's more than just 756 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: one singular game win. It counts a little bit more 757 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: because of all of the attension that that particular team, 758 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: the other team in Texas, that it brings overall. I 759 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: think this schedule MJ sets up very nicely. Again, we 760 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: mentioned that there's just two or just one back to 761 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: back road trip, and that's weeks three and four. There's 762 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: another two road games, but there's a buy end between 763 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 1: and then basically it's you know, road home, road home, 764 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: road home all the way through the entire schedule. Yeah, 765 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: I think it's got a lot of balance. And you 766 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: mentioned the Colts and then the Cowboys and then they host, 767 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: finally host Seattle Seahawks on January ninth at two twenty 768 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: five right here at State Firm Stadium, first time the 769 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: Cardinals will end the regular seat is an at home 770 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen.

Talk 777 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: a little about the defense, and that was very the 778 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,919 Speaker 1: emphasis during the draft. With five of those seven draft 779 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: picks coming on the defensive side of the ball. It's 780 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red c Report right here on the Arizona 781 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio Network. With the one hundred and thirty sixth 782 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: pick in the twenty twenty one NFL Draft, the Arizona 783 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals select Marco Wilson, cornerback, Florida. Smart player too, and 784 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: that's what they value. Run down more graduated for due 785 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: in two and a half years, and Zavan Collins was 786 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: a high school valedictorian. Marco Wilson aptitude tests off the chart. 787 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: Smart player with the of course athletic ability. Yeah, he 788 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: should be known for more than throwing the shoe against 789 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 1: ls shoe. He's a good player, trained by his father 790 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: who was a college defensive back. His brother Quincy Wilson 791 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 1: also in the NFL. Good bloodlines, good intellect, and according 792 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: to head coach Cliff Kingsbury, can play both outside or 793 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: slot corner. At six feet one hundred and ninety one, 794 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: pounds the Cardinals fourth round selection and opportunity to see 795 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: him along with Tay Gowan the Cardinals sixth round a pick, 796 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: also a corner, but an outside corner. Gowan six foot, 797 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,839 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty six pounds. Both of those two 798 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: players MJ on the field last week during rookie mini camp, 799 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 1: and again it's only three days. It's basically getting your 800 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: feet wet. It's not a lot, but it is better 801 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: than nothing, which Cardinals and the rest of the NFL 802 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: had nothing last week or last year, I should say, 803 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: as far as work on the field, and it was 804 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: good to see these guys in action. And again looking 805 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: at the height six feet six one, it does make 806 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: a difference at least when you see them out on 807 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: the field going against some smaller receivers at times. Yeah, 808 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: when Vance was running the seven on seven drill, Wilson 809 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: was definitely playing inside and outside. He had going on 810 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: the outside, Lorenzo Burns and undrafted free agent from Arizona 811 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: he was on the outside. So this is the time 812 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: where you can utilize some different players, put him in 813 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 1: different positions. But for the most part, I liked I 814 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: liked it. Their size and you're starting to see more 815 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: six feet six ft one long arms corners. We know 816 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: wide receivers obviously have the height advantage and sometimes of speed, 817 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: but the game is changing. You're gonna see some slot 818 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: slot corners this year. The area they're gonna be six 819 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: ft six one or six one and a half just 820 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: from a long length and covering that slot guy is 821 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: just as important as the number two and three receiver. Now, 822 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 1: nine cornerbacks on the roster be train. At the moments, 823 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: we know Malcolm Butler, Robert Alford, buy or Murphy, and 824 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: then we'll have to wait and see how quickly these rookies, 825 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: specifically Wilson and Gowan are able to adjust to the 826 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: NFL and adjust to the playbook. But I still think 827 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: that cornerback position, especially opposite Malcolm Butler, there's a question mark, 828 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: and that means an opportunity for a Wilson or a 829 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: Gowan to be maybe not Week one, but at some 830 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: point this season come in there and say, all right, 831 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: that's my job. Open competition is going to be the 832 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: biggest factor for this team making that next leap. In 833 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: my opinion, I think as long as you have guys 834 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: going out there not being given anything and having to 835 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: go out there and earn it. I think you're going 836 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 1: to see the best come out in all of these 837 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: young corners, and I think for coach Joseph, he's going 838 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: to have a few to be able to choose from. 839 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: When you start looking at the inside slide, as far 840 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: as nickel and dime and all these other sub packages, 841 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: you need to have a lot of different cornerbacks and 842 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: guys that can cover in space, because that's what a 843 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: lot of offenses are doing. They're putting three four wide 844 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: receivers out there and they're spreading them all over the field, 845 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: so you have to mass them up with the same 846 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 1: body types in to ask bigger guys like the inside 847 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: linebackers to cover these smaller receivers. That's just not fair 848 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: to those big guys. And so you really need at 849 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,760 Speaker 1: least four. You need four solid cornerbacks in today's NFL 850 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: to really have a chance to be successful on defense. 851 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: And though he's not a corner, Buddha Baker in that 852 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: defensive backs room as far as position as you know, 853 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: looking at that little room as a whole, someone that 854 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 1: can help both a Wilson and Gowan bring them along. 855 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: Something Buddh Baker addressed last week on The Big Red Rage, 856 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 1: Definitely excited to see what those guys can do. First 857 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 1: and foremost, we're going to see them on the field 858 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: and you know, helped them out however we can. But 859 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: for me being a DD, being a safety, I'm definitely 860 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to give them the calls, help them out 861 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: whatever they need help with. And I have a lot 862 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: of we have a lot of faith in Gene Money, 863 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: the corners coach over there. I'm excited to see what 864 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 1: these guys can do. Talking about cornerbacks coach Greg Williams, 865 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: who was also a guest last week or recently on 866 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage, and talk specifically about Wilson, Yeah, 867 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: they like his athleticism, they like his measurables, but there's 868 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 1: one thing he needs to work on. As we've watched him, 869 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: we knew that he had talent, you know, he had 870 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: he has a skill set, just like some of the 871 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: other elite corners that went earlier in the draft, and 872 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of getting consistent and then we 873 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: think that he has that in them, so we think 874 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: the best ball is ahead of them. Jay with all 875 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 1: of these rookies, is being consistent, not only game in 876 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 1: and game out, but during the week of practice as well. 877 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting. I do think they're gonna 878 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: have to bring in some veteran corners just kind of 879 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: fund the position. Do they keep five corners, so they 880 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: keep five safeties Normally you keep nine as a whole, 881 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: So be interesting. The competition is definitely going to be 882 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: there after the starters lot to get to between now 883 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: and the starts of training camp at the end of 884 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: July and the whole month of August.
