Speaker 3: a bust once upon a time, like Trey Lance, Zach Wilson,

20

Speaker 3: Ryan Lee were all bus The good news is Wolf

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,080

00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, Paulie, And it wasn't my bracket, by the way,

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: it was BPI's.

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: I see, even though I nailed Duquane over BYU Ding.

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: The real march madness is the NFL off season, if

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: I dare say so my own self over here. Last

27
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: week we had the free agency frenzy. This week the

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: pro days are out there, all tracking towards next month.

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: In the NFL Draft, it is the Big Red Rage

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: with Paul calvic Ron Wolfley, and we're putting the big

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: in the Big Red Rage tonight, Bill Loll Nichols, the

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: free agent defense Rymon gonna join us and we'll talk

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: about being one of those big boys in the trenches,

34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: all presented by Santana and Ford and Gilbert. We are

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: santan Ford and wolf We'll get to Baalal Nichols here momentarily.

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: But at least now, if you had to play a game, Boom,

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: you are armed and ready along that defensive line, are

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: you not?

39
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: No, you gotta feel really good about those moves. Right

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: there are a couple of pros, Paulyly and Justin Jones,

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: of course, and Balale Nichols. Those two guys. Listen, we

42
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: all know the Arizona Cardinal's number thirty two in rushing

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: yards per game allowed those two guys are going to

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: go a long long way in tightening up that line

45
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. That's exactly what they needed.

46
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: You know what. Jonathan Gannon maniasin Ford met the media

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: this week and Mani said, look, durability was definitely a

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: part of the equation, no doubt, and in signing these

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: free agents there, it was intentional in that they found

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: guys based on the film that fit the scheme of

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: Nick Rollis and Jonathan Gannon. Jonathan Gannon, by the way,

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: he was asked about the free agents and how many

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: guys cited the culture and his energy and sort of

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 3: the fuel vibe, and he joked Jonath again. He said, yeah, Well,

55
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: they'll be singing a different tune when I get him

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: out on the field and I start running him around

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: in the off season. So we're gonna hear from maniasa Fort,

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna hear from Jonathan Gann. In fact, we'll hear

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: from Jonathan Gann a little bit later on Sean Murphy Bunting,

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: who I don't think is really getting enough play right now,

61
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: and as we surmised he is a JG guy. But

62
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: let's stop. Let's start with the top of the draft here,

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: because Mani asin fort. I don't know if he was

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: talking to the media or if he was talking to

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: the rest of the NFL, but here's what he said

66
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: about whether he's been getting calls or not at number

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: four overall.

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: You know, i'd say those phone calls are starting to

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: pick up a little bit, you know. I would say

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: they'll probably continue into next week when we go down

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: to Florida for the owners meetings. I would imagine some

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: of those conversations will continue to pick up, you know,

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: But honestly, they probably will not get real serious until

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: we get right up until the week of the draft,

75
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: similar to last year.

76
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: And I asked him as a fob, Okay, how much

77
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: of the groundwork is done leading up to if indeed

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: you're going to pull a trade all like you did

79
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: twice in the first round last year. And he said, yes, absolutely,

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: you do lay a lot of the groundwork, but perhaps

81
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: you don't always get your best offer until you're on

82
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: the clock.

83
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, you're right about that, poly Bud. To answer

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: your earlier speculation on this, there's no doubt he was

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: talking to the rest of the league. Ball. You know what,

86
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: I hate that. There's the media. That's great, I'm going

87
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: to get up in front of the media. But tis

88
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: the season, Bali, you know it the season of supterfuge

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: right now, the new league year. Every time that comes around,

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: that really kicks it off for me. The free agent

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: period that follows the new league year, of course, and

92
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: then Bata bang bata boom here comes the draft. Tis

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the season, And that's exactly what he's doing. He's trying

94
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: to talk to the rest of the league and let

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: them know what they're thinking. And their thinking is we

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: are open for business at number four, because why would

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: you ever limit yourself as to your options.

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: Just over a month out from the NFL Draft, can

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: I say that the Arizona Cardinals are at the epicenter

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: of where this draft turns, at the pivot point, if

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: you will. If QB is going one, two three, and

102
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: since Chicago went in and got rid of Justin Fields,

103
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: it certainly appears quarterbacks going one, two three, maybe this

104
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 3: draft really starts at number four.

105
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're right about that, Pauli. It does appear

106
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: that way right now. Now, Now, appearances can change, there's

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: no denying that, right. But you know, when you think

108
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: about it, one, two, three, we all assume those three

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are going to go right there. The draft starts

110
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: at number four, and you know this is something you

111
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: and I have gone back and forth on, Pauli and

112
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 1: whether or not you're going to trade out at number four,

113
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: and whether you should trade out at number four, and

114
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: maybe you should just stay there and take a guy like, Oh,

115
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: I don't know Marvin Harrison Junior. And I'm in the

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: danger zone on Marvin Harrison Junior. But I honestly, the

117
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: closer we get to the draft, paul I think there's

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a level of desperation for one NFL team

119
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback. They're gonna give Moni Asin for

120
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 1: basically the moon at number four.

121
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: And for that reason, I do not have my heart

122
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: set on Marvin Harrison Junior, because I just think another

123
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: team is gonna make up the mind for Monti Austin

124
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: for They're gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.

125
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: And he was asked as a follow up, Okay, what

126
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: do you mean are you? How open are you exactly

127
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: when it comes to dealing that pick at number.

128
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: Four, it'll be a big neon sign that says open

129
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: and we'll I don't think. I don't like it blink

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: and that kind of messes with my eyes. But yeah,

131
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 4: we're we're always gonna be listening. We'll always have the conversation,

132
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: whether it's at four or anywhere we're picking, but we're

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: always going to have the conversation. And if it makes

134
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: sense and if it's attractive to building our team, it's

135
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: something that we'll certainly consider no matter where we're at

136
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: in the draft.

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: I just think one of those teams is going to

138
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: make him an offer that's irresistible, that'll be a no brainer.

139
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: Like Paul, if you had to pick one, which one

140
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: would that be? Right now?

141
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: Well, if it's Minnesota and it's eleven to twenty three,

142
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 3: which they have, Okay, honestly, I don't think that's enough.

143
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: I know eleven and twenty three on the Jimmy Johnson

144
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: Trade value chart equates exactly to somewhere between three and four.

145
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: That's not enough because there are three other teams who

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: are going to want number four, and there's a quarterback surcharge.

147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm throwing a quarterback kicker into this. And then on

148
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: top of that, Look what happened last year. You thought

149
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: you were going to get a top five, top ten

150
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: pick and then all of a sudden, The risk is

151
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: that you end up with number twenty seven overall, like

152
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: you did with CJ. Stroud coming out of nowhere and

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: Dimiko Ryan. So for all those reasons, it's got to

154
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: be more than two first round picks.

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: No, you're exactly right. You've got to be kidding me

156
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: right now, you're gonna move up? Are you telling me

157
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota you want to move up to number four from

158
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: number eleven? Right now? You might want to go look

159
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: at Trey Lance and what it took the forty nine

160
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: ers White. I mean, you might want to look at

161
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: that deal, because that's what we're talking about right now. Okay,

162
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: we'll take eleven in twenty three, and oh, by the way,

163
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: we'll take your first round pick next year. I'm just

164
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: saying three number ones. I think that could be a possibility.

165
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: And if you're desperate enough, that's exactly what you're gonna do.

166
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Right now, Why would you limit yourself? Of course, you're

167
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: gonna take every call, every inquiry that is out there,

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: and you're gonna make the other guys believe that you

169
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: are going to be the very thing that ruins their draft.

170
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: That's what you're trying to make them believe. You want

171
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: to breed desperation with them. And the only way you

172
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: can actually do that, Paully, is to take calls and communicate.

173
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: The best case scenario to me is the New York

174
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 3: Giants at six, because then you only go down two

175
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: spots and you still get one of those top three

176
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: elite receivers. That, to me, is the best case scenario.

177
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 3: Speaking of Marvin Harrison Junior opted out of his pro

178
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: day this week, big deal or no deal to you.

179
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: I know, Paully, it really isn't listen. I'm in the

180
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: danger zone on Marvin Harrison Junior. Talk about it all

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: the time. I absolutely love this kid, but I will

182
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: admit it's starting to grind on me. I am an

183
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: old school guy. I do not apologize for that whatsoever.

184
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I understand, you've got so much to lose,

185
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: that's what you're saying, I've got so much to lose. Well,

186
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: you know what, you're thinking your way through this as

187
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: opposed to just feeling your way through this thing. And

188
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: to me, I want a competitor. I want somebody who

189
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: is going to challenge himself and compete. And that's why

190
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed when he did not actually

191
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: participate in his pro day. I think the combine. I

192
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: can understand why you might not do that if you're

193
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: the number one prospect, especially at the wide receiver position.

194
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: But the pro day and skipping the pro day, man,

195
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: I did not dig that.

196
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: And I get it. It's the risk reward, right, I mean,

197
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: how much can you gain? But I mean he's already

198
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: considered the top receiver in the draft, the top position

199
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: player in the draft arguably, so ostensibly you can only

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: oh right draft status with a subpar workout. But when

201
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: Roman Dunesay is out there doing everything, yes, and he's

202
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: asked why he's doing everything, and he says, because it's

203
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: all about competing. I know, paul And I'm not just

204
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: competing with these guys. I'm competing against everybody who's ever

205
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: competed in a combine. I want to compare myself over history.

206
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 3: I mean hello, So.

207
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: I mean think about it, though, Paulie. How many times

208
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: do you hear a general manager say you miss on

209
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: the person right right? The player? The person Well, This

210
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: is where Roma Dunzey to me is separating himself.

211
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: When Marvin Harrison junior, and it's echoed by his father,

212
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: say it's more important for me to rest in the

213
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: off season. I just by the way, the headline out

214
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: of the USC Pro Day Caleb Williams ends Pro Day

215
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: was seventy yard bomb. Oh man, we've been there and

216
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: done that before. All right, he hasn't missed a game

217
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: since twenty nineteen.

218
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: Blall.

219
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: Nichols is next on the big Red Rage presented by

220
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: Santan Ford in Gilbert.

221
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: Let's look at that.

222
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: On the Raiders have a touchdown? What Nichols? The Raiders

223
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: pick it up and rumble in the end.

224
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: Zone below Nichols just grabbed it from right on the turf.

225
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 3: Snap back to pass pressure again off the EDDA for

226
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: the safety.

227
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: Nichols zone school stiff in the turn.

228
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 5: Have the Raiders defense has that safety?

229
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: You know, with all the analytics out there these days

230
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: in the stats, that needs to be a new one. Squish,

231
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: you know, a defensive lineman a squish, You know that

232
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: that's that's some extra that's super extra on top of

233
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: a regular tackle or a sack. As we welcome him

234
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,880

Speaker 6: win games.

253
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: That moment when you're putting pen to paper, right, I mean,

254
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: there are achievements in the game, obviously when we can

255
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: look at the box scoring, but That's a proud moment

256
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: as well, isn't it when you earn the right to

257
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: wear an NFL uniform for another three years.

258
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

259
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 6: I take a lot of pride in that, you know.

260
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 6: You know, this was a vision that I had as

261
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 6: a child, and you know where I come from, these

262
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 6: type of things aren't done like at all really, you know.

263
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 6: So for me, you know, getting that call, feeling that moment,

264
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 6: so many emotions coming over me, so many different feelings. Gratitude, thankfulness,

265
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 6: you know, all of those things like played the huge

266
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 6: rule and I just can't wait to go out there

267
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 6: and get this organization everything I got, you know, just

268
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 6: for believing in me. I just want to show them

269
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 6: that I'm gonna give you everything I got each and

270
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 6: every single day I walk in this building.

271
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: Did you flash back at one moment to maybe your

272
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: college days, you know, the Delaware fighting Blue Hens, right,

273
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you know there's not a ton of NFL production,

274
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: and so you defied the odds.

275
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was.

276
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 6: It's crazy you say that, because the moment I got

277
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 6: the call, that's exactly what I thought about. I thought

278
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 6: about all those times walking from class to my apartment,

279
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 6: you know, just you know, all the things I had

280
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 6: to do to grind to get to where I was

281
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 6: at the day, and all the things that made me

282
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 6: and to the person I ended day and to help

283
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 6: develop my character and how I wanted to carry myself.

284
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 6: All those things came back to my mind and it

285
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 6: was just such a surreal moment.

286
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: So when you and I know, you know this talking

287
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: to many Austin for the GM Jonathan Gannon, the head coach.

288
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: They're looking for specific type of players to insert in

289
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: the lineup and to factor into the culture. What do

290
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: you hope they saw in your film? What do you

291
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 3: hope they experienced when they met you? Tell us about

292
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: Bullall Nichols.

293
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, you know, when they check the film, I

294
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 6: hope they see a dude out there that's playing with passion,

295
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 6: that's heavy handed, that's that's very determined to get off

296
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 6: of blocks and make plays and do whatever he has

297
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 6: to do to allow his team to win, whether that's

298
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 6: playing you know, every position on the line or wherever

299
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 6: I'm needed at. I'm the guy that I'm willing to

300
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 6: do whatever it is I got to do to help

301
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 6: us win. You know, So like that's what type of

302
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 6: person they're getting on the field, just a straight dog,

303
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 6: somebody who's relentless, not scared. I'm gonna push his teammates,

304
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 6: one his teammates to push him and go and go

305
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 6: out there and give you my best each and every day.

306
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: How about your positional flexibility is it? I've heard a

307
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: couple of people say you can play inside, you can

308
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: play more of the five technique. Just tell us about

309
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: what sort of in what different ways. Maybe Nick Rolis

310
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: can use you as the DC.

311
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know that that was something that I always

312
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 6: try to pride myself on being a versative player. I

313
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: always believed if you could do multiple things very well,

314
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 6: then you'll keep a job, you know. So yeah, you

315
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 6: know I've had you know, I've played five tech in

316
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 6: my career since I've been in the NFF. I played

317
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 6: four eye, i played three tech, I played two eye,

318
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 6: I played shade, I played head up over the center,

319
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 6: nose like I've literally played every position on the front. So,

320
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 6: you know, just providing that versatility, you know, for Coach Rollis,

321
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 6: like wherever he wanted to put me at.

322
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: You just know I'm rocking with him. I'm ready to go, Coach.

323
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: I'm guessing I'm just guessing because the D and D

324
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: line last year for the Arizona Cardinals stood for decimated

325
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: so many injuries and your track record of durability and

326
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: fail building reliability. Knock on wood over here, right, you

327
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: haven't missed a game since twenty nineteen. Yes, sir, what

328
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: do you attribute that to?

329
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: Oh?

330
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 6: Man, I tribute that to you know, just me putting

331
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 6: the emphasis on my body. I realized that my body

332
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 6: is is is a business, and you know, if I

333
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 6: want to get the best out of my body, I

334
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 6: have to put the best in it. So a lot

335
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 6: of that credit goes to me just taking care of

336
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 6: my body, putting an extra work. A lot of that

337
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 6: goes to my trainer, Jimial Morrell, that I've been working

338
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 6: with since I was eighteen years old, constantly pushing my

339
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 6: body to new heights and constantly doing a lot of

340
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 6: prevention to prevent injuries to allow me to stay on

341
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 6: the field for a long time. And that's when I

342
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 6: take pride in Like I take pride in the fact

343
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 6: that when people look at me, you can't say I

344
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 6: miss games, and that's just being real. I'm always out

345
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 6: there on the field and I'm always going to be

346
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 6: out there on the field, and I take pride in

347
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 6: that your.

348
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: Head coach always keeps it real. A couple of the newcomers, right,

349
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: I've mentioned meeting Jonathan Gannon right, as we like to say,

350
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: the JG rhymes with energy, Yes, sir, yes, sir, contagious yes.

351
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: And then they're like, you can tell it's not fake.

352
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 6: No, it's not like I'm talking about energy, Like the

353
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 6: energy is contagious, like it's being spread throughout the building.

354
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 6: As soon as you talk to him, you feel like

355
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 6: you got to match his energy, you know what I'm saying, Yes,

356
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 6: and and and that's a that's a great feeling, Like,

357
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 6: oh man, I can't wait to get to work with him.

358
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 3: That's good stuff. Blall Nichols is our guest. All right,

359
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: So your first career sack was against Matthew Stafford, if

360
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 3: I'm seeing here, your second career sack was against Kirk Cousins,

361
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: who's still on the list. You know, I'd like to

362
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 3: ask these defensive lineman edge guys, all right, who would

363
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: you like to sack?

364
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 6: What I like to say, I would love to get

365
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 6: that's a good question. Actually, I would love to get

366
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 6: in quarterback from our division.

367
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Let's put it like that.

368
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: There you all love them. That's a good one. So

369
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 3: that's a good one, is it all right? I'm going

370
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: to flash back to week two, twenty twenty two. You

371
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: were playing for the Raiders, and you, from your perspective,

372
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 3: remind everybody what Kyler Murray did legendary epic stuff. I mean,

373
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: as a defensive lineman. Where were you during that play?

374
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: And how well do you remember that play?

375
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: So?

376
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, first of all, I'm talking about the twenty second

377
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: scamper for the pot coversion.

378
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 6: I know exactly the rest of all, you know, credit

379
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 6: to Kyler for making that play. That's tremendous, tremendous player

380
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 6: for first and foremost.

381
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: You know.

382
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 6: Actually, it's funny because that play I happened to be

383
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 6: on the sideline because it was a long drive if

384
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 6: I remember correctly, the Cardinals had the ball for a

385
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 6: very long time and march down the field and I

386
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 6: believe it may have been in like at least fifteen

387
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 6: to sixteen play drive. And I remember vividly watching that

388
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 6: play on the sideline and I'm seeing him running and

389
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 6: it felt like he was running for a minute long,

390
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 6: like it felt like forever, And in my head I'm like,

391
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 6: no way, he's going backwards, he's going side to side,

392
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 6: he's going for everywhere. And when I seen him get

393
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 6: the job done and get that ball in the inZone, I.

394
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: Was like, that's a dog. That's a dog.

395
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 6: Like you know that that was something that you never

396
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 6: want to be on the opposite side of that, but

397
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 6: it was great to witness.

398
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: Well, look, you just see a defensive linemen. Talk about

399
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: how frustrating and how vexing it is to chase those

400
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 3: guys around you tell us from your perspective, especially look,

401
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: Patrick mahomes the greatest in the game. When he has

402
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: to extend a play, he extends a play. M I mean,

403
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: how brutal is that? How tough is that to defend?

404
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 3: Is a d lineman?

405
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: Oh man, it's tough.

406
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: It's tough. You know.

407
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 6: It's one of those things that you can't allow it

408
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 6: to demoralize your defense, you know what I'm saying, Like,

409
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 6: you know, these these these are great players. You know

410
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 6: that they're going to scramble, You know that these are

411
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 6: things that make them great. You know, it's just about

412
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 6: keeping your poise and realizing that you know that they're

413
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 6: going to try to do these things. And just have

414
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 6: an accounter for it and just keeping everybody on the

415
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 6: same page. Everybody got a responsibility. If your job is

416
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 6: to contain the edge, you contain the edge. If your

417
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 6: job is to push the middle, you push the middle.

418
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 6: If you got on one to one and your job

419
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 6: is to win, you go win. Everybody has to do

420
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 6: their job. So I think that when you're playing quarterbacks

421
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 6: of that caliber, that's when an important d line play

422
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 6: come in and we all got to be on the

423
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 6: same page.

424
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: Lall.

425
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: Nicholas is our guest here in the Big Red Rage.

426
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: So I'm sure you're aware Cardinals finished dead last and

427
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 3: rush defense a year ago. As we mentioned, they were

428
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: devastated by injury up front. So tell us about how

429
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: important that is in your mind, because we always hear

430
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: and you know all the stats about passing. How critical

431
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: is it to stop the run in the NFL twenty

432
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: twenty four.

433
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 6: Oh, it's very It's very important. That's a that's a mindset,

434
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 6: point blank period. I mean, when I look at if

435
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 6: you could run the ball or stop the run, I

436
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 6: think about how tough you are, because that's something that

437
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 6: not everybody built to do. Now, everybody built to run

438
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 6: the ball. Now, everybody abilt to stop the run. So

439
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 6: to me, that's a toughness thing. You know what I'm saying,

440
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 6: that's coming in every day with that mindset. You're not

441
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 6: running this ball on us, right, And that's and that's

442
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 6: how I'm coming in here. You're not running this ball

443
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 6: on us, and uh, you know, And something that I

444
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 6: want to do is I want to pass that energy

445
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 6: to all of my teammates. I wanted to be contagious.

446
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 6: I want I want all of us to have that

447
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 6: same mindset, to have that same same vision, that same goal.

448
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, you don't. You don't do that.

449
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: Does I'm guessing your forsier years in Chicago with the Bears, right,

450
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: playing in that division and playing some of those outdoor games,

451
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that only four to five your toughness.

452
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I was.

453
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 6: I was blessed enough to play with you know, dudes

454
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 6: like a Keen Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Khalil Mack. You know,

455
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 6: Mactually I played. I've been fortunate enough to play with

456
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 6: some dogs up front, and you know, over my course

457
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 6: of the years, that was one thing I noticed each

458
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 6: one of those players. I just ain't had in common.

459
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 6: They had that same mindset every day and if you

460
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 6: didn't have that mindset, it was gonna be an issue.

461
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: And you know what, that's something that the new culture

462
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 3: is trying to instill in this team. There's no doubt

463
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: about it. So all right, you go from Vegas to Arizona,

464
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: you're staying in the desert. So do you enjoy the

465
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:39,480

471
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 3: and now you're coming to the Cardinals. And I'm guessing

472
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 3: you noticed, between you and Justin Jones, a lot of

473
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: money invested in this defensive line. It's an area of needs.

474
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: So looking forward to getting to know you and looking

475
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,040

Speaker 3: right in his prime year. Number seven started all seventeen

480
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: games the last two years. Looking forward to putting his

481
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: name into the lineup, no doubt about it. We continue

482

486
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: rocket has time and now one is picked off.

487
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: It ist Wilson again with a terrific play screen for

488
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: McKinnon tackle perby.

00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: Hind get absolutely ripped by mac Wilson.

Speaker 5: falling down tick. Sean Murphy Bunting has just picked off

497
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 5: a pass of Aaron Rodgers.

498
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 3: Bubbles them on the first time he scooped up. It's

499
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: picked up by Murphy Bunting running right to left at

00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 3: the thirty.

501
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 7: Homes cry oh trill interception and on the return Sean

00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 7: Murphy Bunting, how about that.

503
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: You knew it was going down when he tweeted out

504
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: the hashtag bird Gang Sean Murphy Bunting one of a

505
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 3: half dozen plus free agents signing on the line that

506
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: has dotted. We sited on the Red Sea Report earlier

507
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 3: this week. Welcome back to the Big Red Rage presented

508
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 3: by Santan Ford in Gilbert Special. Thanks once again to

509
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: Big Ball Nichols. That was good stuff there from the

510
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: Cardinals new defensive lineman. You talk about running the two

511
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: man game with Justin Jones, those guys go way back.

512
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: That's gonna be good stuff and get to watch that.

513
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: But as for Sean Murphy Bunting, Ron wolf Ley, the

514
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: you know, the Holy Conoly stat if you will, is

515
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: he was a zero star recruit coming out of high

516
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: school only to become a second round selection in the

517
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: NFL draft out of Central Michigan to Tampa. And then

518
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 3: Rob Frederickson cracked wise and said, well, Paul, that's finally

519
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 3: something you know something about a zero star recruit.

520
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: So it's been a tough balle What does that tell

521
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: you though, when you say that, what does that tell

522
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: you about Sean Murphy Bunting.

523
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 3: That he's a JG guy, That he's that sort of mentality, right,

524
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: self made, self motivated. Yes, you know, obviously mentally tough

525
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: would you got to be to play cornerback?

526
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: Right, Paulie. The resiliency that Sean Murphy Bunting has shown

527
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: to be a zero star recruit and then you end

528
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: up being a second round pick coming out in playing

529
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: five years in the National Football League and being a

530
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: solid starter. He's one of the best sixty four corners

531
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: on the face of the planet. Right, you got two

532
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: corners that starts on every football team. He has a

533
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: starting cornerback in the National Football League. And I love

534
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: his attitude and I love his history because what you

535
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: see on t is a guy that works super hard

536
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: and takes nothing for granted.

537
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 3: And I still think corner is the sleeper position in

538
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: the draft in round one for the Arizona Cardinals. Whether

539
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: it's arry On Arnold or maybe a Quinny and Mitchell,

540
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 3: we'll see, because I think he will be paired with

541
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: a top draft pick in the Cardinals secondary. We'll hear

542
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: what JG had to say about Sean Murphy Bunting. Momentarily,

543
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 3: our Craig Grielho did the math rn wolfully last year

544
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: in the offseason, the first off season manias of or

545
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon. Right, they spent twenty seven million plus guaranteed

546
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: to twenty nine different players via free agency in the

547
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: offseason already this year to seven players just under eighty

548
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: million dollars guaranteed. Oh so, how often have we talked

549
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: about it? They needed a full year to assess what

550
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: they have, Yeah, what they need, what they want?

551
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Right, yep? Not only that, Pauly, you know, once again,

552
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: it's a situation where this culture is established and has

553
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: been established going into last year. Of course, it was

554
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: just an idea. That's what culture is. It's just a

555
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: thought and you put a thought into words, and then

556
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: you try to go and you try to fill those

557
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: words and that thought with players that can actually model

558
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: that culture to everybody else. They fit your culture. In

559
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: other words, it was just kind of up in the

560
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: air pie in the sky, and you were trying to

561
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: fill it with guys you think would be able to

562
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: model that culture to everybody else. Now, all of a sudden,

563
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, exactly, Paul, this is the thing that's got

564
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: me so excited about the Arizona Cardinals and what they

565
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: did this offseason with a free agent period. Right now,

566
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: knowing exactly the kind of human being, the kind of

567
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: person they wanted to come into this culture and play

568
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: corner and play defensive tackle. These guys coming in to

569
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: play this these positions. Man, to me, that is it

570
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: makes their job so much easier to do. And it's

571
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: the reason why now you're signing them to three year

572
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: contracts because you know these guys are gonna be with

573
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: you for years and it's amazing.

574
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 3: And you sign a guy to a long term deal

575
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: and he has a longtime track record of availability, durability, right, reliability. Yes,

576
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 3: including mac Wilson. You heard some of those highlights. You

577
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: only played twenty seven percent of this defensive snaps for

578
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: New England last year, but really productive. And here's what

579
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon had to say his first words on mac Wilson.

580
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 7: Violent, high football character, can play multiple positions, Fast, smart, tough,

581
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 7: excited to be here.

582
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he likes about mac Wilson.

583
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: And Paul, I just love that because you know why

584
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: I love that right there, right, this is Sparta, Okay,

585
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: this is the way the Spartans used to talk, Paul.

586
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: They used to believe that what you say, the words

587
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: you used to describe something was the beginning of toughness.

588
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: And that's what JG is what JG says that right there.

589
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: I absolutely love that violence. This is a football player

590
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: that walks between those white lines. Outside of the white lines,

591
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: he's great. But inside those white lines, man, he is

592
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: going to play the game with an attitude, in a

593
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: physicality and an aggressiveness that is uncommon right now. And

594
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: I love what I see from Mac Wilson when I

595
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: watch tape so.

596
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 3: Wolf as a guy who went to four Pro Bowls

597
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: covering kickoffs. Did you see his hit heard around the

598
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: world as described by Jonah Williams, his former teammate at

599
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 3: Alabama when Mac Wilson was a freshman at Alabama and

600
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 3: what he did to that kick return to.

601
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: I did not pull it.

602
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: Oh boy, everybody, you gotta go watch that. You just

603
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 3: got destroy that return guy. And now Mac Wilson, towards

604
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: the end of last year, they unleashed him off the

605
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: edge and it caught the attention recently of our own

606
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: Kyle Van Deenbosch, three time Pro bowler, coming off the

607
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: edge getting after the quarterback. Here's what he had to

608
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: say on the Red Sea Report.

609
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 8: I think this is the signing with the highest ceiling.

610
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 8: I think he's got tremendous ability when he's lined up

611
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 8: at an off the ball inside linebacker. He really does

612
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 8: play side line to sideline. He's got good closing speed.

613
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 8: He's a physical linebacker. Graded out really really well, one

614
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 8: of the top linebackers in the league. When he was

615
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 8: used in coverage, he graded out really well in coverage.

616
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 8: He looks good in the run front. I think he

617
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 8: could develop into a really reliable inside linebacker and even

618
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 8: be used as an edge rusher. I mean I saw

619
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 8: tremendous get off, tremendous burst, and tremendous bend, all three

620
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 8: things that are assets for edge rushers. So you can

621
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 8: use him in a number of ways. And I'm excited

622
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 8: to see what he brings to this defense next year.

623
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: And based on last year, there's no doubt they're going

624
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: to use him just a whole variety of roles. Maybe

625
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: how we all envision Isaiah Simmons being used once upon

626
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: a time, I could see Mac Wilson in a similar role.

627
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe Paully, but once again, I think you could

628
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: just line him up at inside linebacker as well. Listen

629
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: to you in today's NFL, Paul, you need two inside linebackers,

630
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: and if you have two inside linebackers that don't come

631
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: off the field unless they are in unusual situations down

632
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: in distances behind the chains or weird personnel groups like

633
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: ten personnel with four wide receivers. I mean, unless you're

634
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: unless you're in an unusual situation and you can leave

635
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: two inside linebackers on the field. Paul, You've got a

636
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: big advantage right there. You can because you can go

637
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 1: six in the box against eleven personnel and you can

638
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: hold up against the run in rundown situations. And I

639
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: think this is what the Arizona Cardinals might have. You

640
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: got two guys Kaizer White and mac Wilson who are

641
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: good at the point of attack. And I also think too,

642
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: PAULI here's my hot take, and I told you this

643
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: here hot the hot take, Paulie, the bold prediction. Mac

644
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: Wilson plays Mike and Kayzer plays Will. That's interesting, really,

645
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, Kaizer still calls the place.

646
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: When you talk about a pair of inside linebackers who

647
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: don't come off the field, I automatically think of the

648
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: Cardinals division rival to forty nine ers Fred Warner and

649
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: Drake Greenlaw Bengo and the underrated aspect of their loss

650
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl is when Greenlaw just for his

651
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: achilles right and wasn't available the rest of that game.

652
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: That was huge because we know what happened when Kaizer

653
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: White missed the last seven games. All of a sudden,

654
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: the Cardinals had serious liabilities in coverage running backs out

655
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 3: of the backfield, tight ends down the field.

656
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: Kis.

657
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: It was so good and from appearances, mac Wilson is

658
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: even more equipped in cover exactly. He was one of

659
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: the highest rated coverage linebackers in the league.

660
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pauline, and this is the thing that I'm you know,

661
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of. You know, that mic backer typically a

662
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: little bit more butt to him than the weak side inside, right,

663
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: that mike backer's got a little bit more side. You

664
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: take a look at Kaizer White. He's two hundred and

665
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: thirty four pounds. You know now that there's nothing wrong

666
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: with that in today's NFL. That's inside linebackers stuff right there.

667
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: But man, you've got mac Wilson who's six to one,

668
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six pounds. That to me, paul

669
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: is very very appealing as a MIC linebacker to have

670
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more butt, to be able to take

671
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: on tight ends as well.

672
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: And run down the field as money and Ford said, look,

673
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: there's an intentionality to who they signed, not only durability,

674
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: but versatility.

675
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: All right.

676
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: You see to Mac Wilson, and you also see it

677
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: in Sean Murphy Bunting, and Jonathan Gannon talked about that.

678
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 7: You know, obviously he's played on very good defenses, won

679
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl, has played left and right, played inside.

680
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 7: He's a guy that I've done a lot of work.

681
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 7: That's kind of funny, kind of comes full circle now

682
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 7: that we sign him, but when I was two teams

683
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 7: ago did him when he was coming out, and yeah,

684
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 7: he's a really good player. He's played at a high level.

685
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 7: He's a versatile player and just like Mac, you know,

686
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 7: high football character, loves ball and he's gonna love it here.

687
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: I had to stifle myself during the press conference. I

688
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: wanted to say, ah, I knew it because when we

689
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 3: were interviewing Sean Murphy Bunting last week here on the

690
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert, I said,

691
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: you know what, you seem like a JG guy, And

692
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: sure enough, Jonathan said he studied Sean Murphy Bunting coming

693
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: out of college A few years back, so really interesting

694
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 3: that that's a good thing. What I think everyone wonders

695
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: wolf is that his numbers and ratings and metrics as

696
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,239
Speaker 3: an outside corner are not nearly as robust and as

697
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: impressive as he was as a nickel slot corner. But

698
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: he is hellbent on proving himself as an outside corner,

699
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 3: and it looks like he does have a believer in

700
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: the head coach.

701
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, PAULI I think this is interesting

702
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: right here for a couple of reasons. Number one, I'm

703
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: told he's a very versatile corner. This is a guy

704
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: that can walk up over a wide receiver and play press.

705
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: This is a guy that can back off and play

706
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: in his own room as well, Paul. So he's very

707
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: versatile for the most part. And the other thing I

708
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: like about this is you cannot tell me he played

709
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans, of course last year, and you

710
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: cannot tell me that mantiasen Fort still doesn't have some

711
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: tentacles inside of that organization, some relationships that he built

712
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: in his three years of being there that he could

713
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: actually reference. Some of these guys would just say the

714
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: grapevine is vast and varied in the NFL. Paully would

715
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: just say that's a true statement.

716
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 3: Even some of the personnel, like not just even the

717
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: personnel department, but some of the regular football staffers inside

718
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: the building, Yes, who can give you good intel on

719
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 3: a player in his makeup.

720
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 1: Exactly, Paul. So it's very interesting to me that Sean

721
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: Murphy Bunting is here. It's a position of need. He

722
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: is a pro, he is a starter. Once again, that's

723
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: what we did the big difference. I already talked a

724
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: little bit about it, but going out and signing starters

725
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: from other teams where last year MONI went out and

726
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: signed a lot of one year contracts to guys who

727
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: were depth players for the most part, because they were

728
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: building their culture, laying the foundation.

729
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and as j G says, you got to know

730
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: before you invest in these players, least ideally, so you

731
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: got to figure out, all right, what's their makeup, what

732
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 3: motivates them? And then you have some of the other

733
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 3: guys that they went in on, right, not only mac

734
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: Wilson who finished really strong, but a Kyrie's Tonga, that

735
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: big defensive lineman from the Vikings is going to play

736
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: sort of that lecky FO two role. He got one

737
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 3: year four hundred thousand guarantee, but he really turned it

738
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: on to the end of the year. So you're trying

739
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: to buy low sell high here with a couple of

740
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: guys who when they got their opportunities at the end

741
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: of last season, they excelled, and then you're banking on

742
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 3: the fact that maybe they pick up where they left

743
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: off this season. Learn more about the go ahead Wolf.

744
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: No, Paulie, not only that, but LJ. Collier, keep your

745
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: eye on that one, Paulie. I'm just saying, yeah, that

746
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: defensive line once again, keep your eye on Collier.

747
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: No doubt. Hey, speaking of the line, we're gonna come back.

748
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about the offensive line. The question you

749
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 3: do not ask Jonathan Gannon between now and week one

750
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 3: of the regular season. All right, he's half serious with

751
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: the media. And what exactly did Manti Asinford mean when

752
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 3: you use the word brutal about one aspect of this offseason.

753
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 3: We continue with a big red rage presented by Santan

754
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: Ford in Gilbert.

755
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 9: If you think that color is not our future, you

756
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 9: are a plumb fool.

757
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: You know what I mean that?

758
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 9: Just I say that again. If you think that he's

759
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 9: not our future. You are absolutely you need to slow

760
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 9: down on the drinking in the daytime, you know what

761
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 9: I mean. Like, I know Scott's still big on Sunday Sunday,

762
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 9: but you got dollar back a little bit, you know.

763
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: Oh, Man, if I.

764
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 10: Ain't got to look at five people at the same

765
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 10: I can just focus on that end. If I just

766
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 10: bought that dude right there to that guy, it's a

767
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 10: lot different when I got to look at this guy,

768
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 10: that guy, and that guy, and if that guy moved there,

769
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 10: I got blocked that dude. But if he like he

770
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 10: gonna move and he don't really come, and I gotta

771
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 10: go back on that dude, that's a whole bunch.

772
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: Like that is a lot.

773
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: Man.

774
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm pretty smart, but God.

775
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: There's some guys and it's like there's there's some guys

776
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 3: that got good material. I would say DJ seventy four,

777
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 3: he's a really good joke.

778
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: Sir. So upset that about me?

779
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 8: I told yo, Sis, you think I'm funny.

780
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: Bro, I can die today.

781
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 7: Man, I'm happy see says something funny.

782
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: I made, Sis like we're good.

783
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 3: I'm talking about t Sizzle, Durelle Suggs, Once upon a Time,

784
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: Surefire Hall of famer. Eventually, there's a reason ron Wolf

785
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 3: with a D. J. Jumfrey's name. Once upon a time

786
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: was on this show, The Big Red Rage, presented by

787
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: Santan Ford and Gilbert. We're gonna miss the big guy,

788
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: aren't we.

789
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: No doubt about it, Paulli. He was so entertaining, so

790
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: fun to be around, a great personality, a very very

791
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: strong man of course, and yet at the same time

792
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: he was a dog on the football field. And I

793
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: enjoyed his time here. And you know, listen, you know

794
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: that it's a mercenary league, PAULI, It really is. It

795
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: always is going to be a mercenary league, and it

796
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: always has been for the most part. And it makes

797
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: you feel really, really good when you think of DJ

798
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: as a man playing nine years for the Arizona Cardinals

799
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: and making over eighty million dollars. I'm just saying, Paul, Yeah.

800
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: And look, the one constant in the NFL is change.

801
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 3: That's why when you run, when you run into other

802
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 3: former players, you know, if you can get ten years

803
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: that like you did, I mean, it just seems to

804
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 3: it's such a signature accomplishment in the NFL. If you

805
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 3: can actually get a ten year career. I mean, not

806
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 3: only you're the point one percent of football players, but

807
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: then you really achieved in pro football itself. And as

808
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: evidence of that, you want to look at the last

809
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: four draft classes prior to many asin fort. We're talking

810
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: about twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two.

811
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: Out of thirty two players, only six remain from those

812
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 3: four draft classes. Kyler from twenty nineteen, none from twenty twenty.

813
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: Lecky FO two is now with the Jets. He was

814
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: the last remaining twenty twenty one, Zavin and Victor d

815
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 3: mucage and then two years ago twenty twenty two, Trey McBride,

816
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 3: Cam Thomas and Jesse Luketa.

817
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: That is stunning, Paul.

818
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 3: So these especially if you have a new gym and

819
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 3: a new head coach, they're going to turn the roster over.

820
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: We know it.

821
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: They've been hitting the big red reset button and this

822
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 3: offseason here recently it included d J Humphries, formerly the

823
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 3: longest tenured cardinal. And here's what many Ausinport had to

824
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: say this week on the release of DJ Humphreys.

825
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 4: I can't say enough about how I feel about DJ

826
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 4: as a football player and even more so as a

827
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 4: person just being around him and his energy and the

828
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 4: leadership that he brought to this team. We're certainly going

829
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 4: to miss him, you know, and I just hope nothing

830
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 4: but the best for him and his recovery and his rehab.

831
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: And you know, who knows, who knows what's going to

832
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 4: happen down the line. You know, like would have zero

833
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 4: hesitation to bring DJ back.

834
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 3: Now that's interesting, Yes, it is white ball. Well, I mean, okay,

835
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 3: there might be a future d J Jumpries as an

836
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinal. Once again, look, the contract obviously was over

837
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars worth on the cap, He's over thirty

838
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 3: years of age, he had the season enning ACL tear

839
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: in the second last game of the year, so everything

840
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 3: lined up. It just didn't make business sense cap sense.

841
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: But as Money also pointed out, d J Jumpries is

842
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 3: still have every resource available to him in rehab through

843
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: the NFL and the Cardinals. So if indeed there's a

844
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 3: point at which next season he's ready to go and

845
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: Cardinals might be in need of a swing tackle a

846
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: guy who's been there and done that on both sides

847
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 3: of the line, I mean, you have Paris Johnson junior

848
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 3: Jonah Williams, and then if Kelvin Beacham is still there,

849
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 3: But I mean there could always be room for a

850
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 3: DJ Humphreys at the right price.

851
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that, PAULI. And when I heard

852
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: Manti assin Ford say that, When I heard him say that,

853
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: it told me immediately that they must have parted on

854
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: good terms. Yeah, you know, yeah, maybe there's a door

855
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: that is still going to be They must have parted.

856
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: It must have been an amicable situation when they'd departed

857
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: on that, and that is really really encouraging to me. Now,

858
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's gonna happen. It doesn't mean that,

859
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: But to me, I was also thinking the same thing

860
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: you were. I was very encouraged on that because it

861
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: told me, hey, maybe this was an amicable situation.

862
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: So meanwhile, out now you have Paris Johnson junior, who

863
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 3: the NFL network is reporting is going to left tackle.

864
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 3: Jonah Williams has been signed. He had three years as

865
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 3: a starting left tackle for the Bengals and last year

866
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 3: starting right tackle. Okay, where exactly are these two guys

867
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: gonna line up when the season starts? And Jonathan Gannon

868
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 3: knew the question was coming in his first media availability,

869
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 3: and here was his answer.

870
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 7: Let's talk about this one for a minute here, because

871
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 7: you guys are gonna ask me one hundred and thirty

872
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 7: two times.

873
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: We will know who's.

874
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 7: Playing where the Friday before we play Week one. So

875
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 7: when you guys asked me, where is this guy playing?

876
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 3: Who's the starter?

877
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 7: Is?

878
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

879
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 7: Blah blah blah, I don't know, guys, So you'll see

880
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 7: week one.

881
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 3: So there you go.

882
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: Okay, I love that Paul League. Where do you start

883
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: on that one?

884
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: Well, look, I'll just say that Jonah Williams grated up

885
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: better as a right tackle last season than he had

886
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 3: the previous season at left tackle. Correct and as the

887
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 3: former number six player overall in the draft last season,

888
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 3: a guy just starting his NFL career, I think Paris

889
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 3: Johnson Junior will be given every chance to nail down

890
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 3: the left tackle spot. That's my gut feel, ding ding

891
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:08,959
Speaker 3: ding ball.

892
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: I think we have a winner right there. No, and

893
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you do that? Honestly, when you stop and

894
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: think about it, right now, you got this young guy,

895
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: you drafted him number six overall, did an excellent job

896
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: at right tackle. Can he get better? Absolutely, he definitely

897
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: can't get better. He took every snap for you, though,

898
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: played in all seventeen games, and got better. I thought

899
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: as the season unfolded, Right now, this is a guy

900
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: that you see as being one of your two best tackles,

901
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: of course, on your team, and you need to in

902
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: today's NFL, no doubt about it. Why not start him

903
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: off at left tackle? Go ahead and do that because

904
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: you did take him so high. Give him the opportunity

905
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: to go out there and show to you he's not

906
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: your left tackle, and PAULI, guess what. That decision can

907
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: be made before the regular season. That decision can be

908
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: made even before you start playing games.

909
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 7: Now.

910
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna throw them out there anyways and watch

911
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: them on tape during games, but even before that, they're

912
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna have a really good idea as to whether or

913
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: not Paris Johnson Junior is gonna be able to hold

914
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: up at left tackle. And if not, guess what. You

915
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: just happen to have this guy who played three years

916
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: at left tackle, and Jonah Williams who could flop over there.

917
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: That's why that signing was so critical.

918
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: I think the other question it raises is where will

919
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 3: the Cardinals go in the draft, and is there a

920
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 3: tackle in their future. It's historically deep in tackles, and

921
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 3: we all presume you're truly included. Oh, Cardinals are taking

922
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 3: a tackle in the first round at some point, if

923
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 3: not the top of the second round. Really maybe not.

924
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 3: They still need d line edge, they need corner, I mean, center, receiver.

925
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 3: There are five other positions you could easily put ahead

926
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 3: of offensive tackle right now.

927
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: Tom Bresnahan, go ahead and google it. Tom Bresnahan was

928
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: a great offensive line coach. He believed his philosophy was

929
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: draft tackles make them guards, so that they could always

930
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: go out to tackle if they had to do that.

931
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: Draft tackles make them guards.

932
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 3: What's also interesting, they signed Evan Brown as a free agent,

933
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 3: the veteran and starting center for the Seahawks all of

934
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 3: last season, former starting center in Detroit as well. So

935
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: you have another veteran center now on the roster to

936
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 3: go with the Yelda Froholtz. So they've been building the

937
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 3: old line, but maybe they don't build it through the

938
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: draft like we all presumed. At least they have enough

939
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: on paper right now to play the season. We'll see.
