Speaker 1: Rage taking over. Here's Paul CALVC. Get the popcorn ready,
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show and Ron will fleep. It
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far Wolf.
Speaker 1: As we all know, Ron Wolfley is much more shall
Speaker 1: we say, civilized domesticated than he was during his playing days.
Speaker 1: Appreciate Honestly, that's a great thing for society at large,
Speaker 1: and it's a very good thing for you, Ron Wolfley,
Speaker 1: or you'd be behind bars. Yes, probably so so. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I mean the guy really who's best equipped if it
Speaker 1: comes to this, Because you never know each edition of
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: is its own and you never quite know, you know,
Speaker 1: what sort of challenges around the next quarter, what sort
Speaker 1: of opponent is waiting. But if there's somebody here really
Speaker 1: equipped at this point too, I don't know, bite a kneecap,
Speaker 1: or maybe bite the other kneecap, or you know, kick
Speaker 1: you in the teeth or take a hunk audio, as
Speaker 1: one NFL head coach said today at his introductory press
Speaker 1: Scott and we were that for ourselves coming up a
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. I'm just thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: if there's one guy who is equipped to do that
Speaker 1: at this point, I might have to step up into
Speaker 1: that role. You know what, Paul was so funny because
Speaker 1: as I was listening Dan Gambell and I know we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about Dan Gambell and what he said
Speaker 1: a little bit later in this broadcast, but as I
Speaker 1: was listening to him, he was basically describing my career. Okay,
Speaker 1: my career. Now listen. Here's the one thing about that though, Paul,
Speaker 1: you know a little foreshadowing here. That's great. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have a great special teams unit. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But you know what, you have to get talented players
Speaker 1: as well to go out that are good and you
Speaker 1: could actually win games with you get. You gotta get
Speaker 1: talented and tough ball. For all the things that Ron
Speaker 1: Lfley did in his career that he's not proud of
Speaker 1: then has set him to a Sunday confession. Forgive me, father,
Speaker 1: for I have sinned on a weekly basis. We will
Speaker 1: find out a little bit later whether he's ever quote
Speaker 1: been somebody else's kneecap. So save that for later. Wolf
Speaker 1: were much easier targets Paul then than Kneecap. Never forget that.
Speaker 1: What we need to know is I've been informed by
Speaker 1: the source that's better than Elias, better than any of
Speaker 1: the analytics services or on Craig GRIGELU inform me earlier
Speaker 1: today that the fact checker exactly mister information and mister historian,
Speaker 1: that one year ago, last Friday, Larry Fitzgerald announced his
Speaker 1: intentions for the twenty twenty season. Two years ago this
Speaker 1: Saturday he made his intentions clear, and the two years
Speaker 1: before that he went into February. So Wolf as a
Speaker 1: guy who has been tackled by Larry twice if you're
Speaker 1: scoring at home twice. Do you have any inside info
Speaker 1: on which way Larry's leaning know it, whether there might
Speaker 1: be a year eighteen? You know, I know nothing, Okay,
Speaker 1: nobody talks to me, Paul. I don't ask questions, and
Speaker 1: nobody talks to me. I have no idea. I've been
Speaker 1: saying Larry Fitzgerald is going to retire over the last
Speaker 1: three years, and every time he has come back. So
Speaker 1: as I've said before, and I'm going to continue to
Speaker 1: this Mantrapaul, He's going to retire. This is it for
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. It's all sudden on fancy. We know that,
Speaker 1: and hopefully he'll come back once again. Well, reportedly he
Speaker 1: has a new receivers coach. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: makes a difference, but Sean Jefferson is a gay Sea
Speaker 1: Jefferson for a dozen years. He's coached it just the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position for a dozen years. So he's more
Speaker 1: than qualified. We know that. And i'd tell you, well,
Speaker 1: I watched some of these guys in year three ball out,
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen this year and Baker Mayfield and the
Speaker 1: steps they made in year three. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray. What Larry might be thinking in that regard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were thinking the same thing about Kyler Murray in
Speaker 1: year two in the MVP. Well, he made a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: This kid, this kid in two years offensive Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year and Pro Bowler. Not bad. He was named
Speaker 1: Most Valuable Cardinal by the Cardinals media. You're offensive player,
Speaker 1: a Newcomer of the Year d Hop, Defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Year Buddha Baker, and you're beyond the box score
Speaker 1: player of the Year Dennis Gardak. That is all at
Speaker 1: easy Cardinals dot com where Shan Johnson is going to
Speaker 1: join us. Coming up the former Cardinals safety on this
Speaker 1: edition of the Big Red Rage. This could be the game.
Speaker 1: Fourth down in one handoff Height Tower running right and
Speaker 1: get to the outside and he's got the first own
Speaker 1: of the forty five and pushed out of bounds Rose
Speaker 1: a slant of fits caught at the thirty inside the
Speaker 1: twenty five and down of the twenty three. It's a
Speaker 1: game of about eighteen and the first down for the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Thirry Fitzgerald is literally trying to will this team to
Speaker 1: victory right now. Humps right those back to the left.
Speaker 1: Height Tower caught at the ten cuts left of the
Speaker 1: five height tower to the goal like he pick down,
Speaker 1: Hey the Cardinals great take the leave for two fifty
Speaker 1: three to go pick up by docket ducket inside the
Speaker 1: ten shots in. The Cardinals have shot the world straight
Speaker 1: and true. The Cards have done it. They're showing the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty It's a forty five second montage the
Speaker 1: voice of the Arizona Cardinals day pass Ron Wolfley, and
Speaker 1: it's still Hills. I mean, honestly, you hear it every time.
Speaker 1: I still get maybe because we were there, wolf we
Speaker 1: witnessed it, but to hear you guys or Jim Olmonro
Speaker 1: putting that together with a crescendo at the very end.
Speaker 1: We've heard Bertrand Berry say it repeatedly, the best moment
Speaker 1: of his NFL career. It's the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert. And they played to win
Speaker 1: the game, Polly, They played to win the game, and
Speaker 1: they came cover zero against the Eagles on that play
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Send everybody huns over the wall and you
Speaker 1: still remember the coverage, You still remember the play? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: incredible man across the board. Here we go flat top
Speaker 1: send everybody, fourth down, it was over. You just looked around, right, everybody, Polly,
Speaker 1: do you remember the way that felt? You looked around like,
Speaker 1: did that just happen? That happen? Did that just do really?
Speaker 1: Because that meant the Cardinals actually we're gonna win that game.
Speaker 1: I think I was still in disbelief until the confetti
Speaker 1: started falling from the rafters. That's when I realized it
Speaker 1: was real and the Cardinals were going to Tampa for
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl forty three. Think about it, that was
Speaker 1: twelve years ago. At this time, the stakes are the
Speaker 1: same this Sunday, a trip to Tampa and the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl is on the line. We'll get into Championship Sunday
Speaker 1: and those games a little bit later. Right around the
Speaker 1: corner with Sean Johnson, the former Cardinals safety, he will
Speaker 1: join us, and well, you remember that team, especially in
Speaker 1: the postseason. What was the mantra shock the world? Yes, right,
Speaker 1: that's why David just said it, all right, Dave Pass shocked.
Speaker 1: They have shocked the world, because that was the mantra
Speaker 1: in that locker room, and Kurt Warner was one of
Speaker 1: the guys actually saying it, and so that team personified
Speaker 1: that and I bring that up because earlier today, when
Speaker 1: a new head coach takes the podium, you know for
Speaker 1: sure you're gonna get that question. You're gonna get the
Speaker 1: identity question right, what's gonna be the DNA of your team?
Speaker 1: And we got a singular answer today from Dan Campbell,
Speaker 1: the new Lions head coach, rolling We're gonna kick you
Speaker 1: in the teeth, and when you punch us back, we're
Speaker 1: gonna smile at you. And when you knock us down,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get up. And on the way up, we're
Speaker 1: gonna buy a kneecap off and we're gonna stand up,
Speaker 1: and then it's gonna take two more shots to knock
Speaker 1: us down. And on the way up, we're gonna take
Speaker 1: your other kneecap and we're gonna get up, and then
Speaker 1: it's gonna take three shots to get us down, and
Speaker 1: when we do, we're gonna take another honk out of you.
Speaker 1: Before long, we're there going to be the last one standing.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the mentality. So it's just wait, it's awesome,
Speaker 1: sound is it not, Paul? I mean, this is this
Speaker 1: is what you want when you're downtrodden, when you're a
Speaker 1: little down in the mouth. This is exactly the way
Speaker 1: you want your coach to sound. And I think he's
Speaker 1: speaking more to fans than he is players. And he
Speaker 1: played for the Lions once upon a time, so he
Speaker 1: knows the identity of this city that he's coaching it.
Speaker 1: He knows the turmoil and the travails of Lions fans
Speaker 1: who haven't won anything since nineteen fifty seven in Bobby Lane, right,
Speaker 1: So he knows all that. But but Wolf is he
Speaker 1: kind of setting himself up. Well, remember when Rex Ryan
Speaker 1: got up there and said, you know what, if you're
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, punch someone in the nose for it,
Speaker 1: or Lane Kiffin, I will bring a high powered offense
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. Remember Buddy Ryan, and back in ninety
Speaker 1: four you got a winner in town. Yes, No, you
Speaker 1: got to be careful on this stuff, Polly. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about that. The sound is so fun and it's
Speaker 1: so right on the money. Everything he's saying. I loved,
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved Dan Campbell. Agree with everything he just said.
Speaker 1: But now you have to go find players, Paul, that
Speaker 1: are talented and tough, players that you can win games with,
Speaker 1: that are talented and feel the same way Dan Campbell,
Speaker 1: there's one problem with that, Paully. That's what the rest
Speaker 1: of the league is looking for for the most part,
Speaker 1: you know. And the other question I would have with
Speaker 1: Dan is how much control does he have over the
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster at some point in time? Is
Speaker 1: he the one drafting? Is he going to be the
Speaker 1: guy drafting all the draft picks because you've got to
Speaker 1: bring the right person in. This is something Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: has been doing for decades. He's the guy that is
Speaker 1: bringing in the talent, whether it's free agent talent he's
Speaker 1: bringing in, undrafted free agent talent or draft picks that
Speaker 1: he's bringing in. Hey, they all better fit the mentality
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick wants see. That gives him a huge advantage.
Speaker 1: The fact that he's got full control over the roster
Speaker 1: and is the coach that head is exactly what you
Speaker 1: need if you want to be able to build this
Speaker 1: kind of culture, because sometimes you're gonna get somebody who
Speaker 1: drafted a guy who isn't like this, who isn't like
Speaker 1: the way Dan Campbell wants him to be, and he
Speaker 1: might try to make him that player. Bud Paul, you
Speaker 1: know what, he just can't do it. Sometimes I'm guessing
Speaker 1: every opponent on the Lions schedule, the Cardinals included on
Speaker 1: Saturday night before the game, that's getting played in the
Speaker 1: team meeting. Oh yeah, that SoundBite is getting played before
Speaker 1: every single Lions game. This coming here. So to what
Speaker 1: degree do you just put a bull's eye on the
Speaker 1: Honolulu Blu and silver. We'll see about that. But speaking
Speaker 1: of drafting the players. In the Lions front office, they
Speaker 1: have a new GM and he comes from the Rams.
Speaker 1: His name is Brad Holmes, an executive there. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the Rams, they have a brand new defensive coordinator, Raheem
Speaker 1: Morris replacing Brandon Staley, and then Robert Sala leaves as
Speaker 1: de coordinator of the Niners Bolt then Damiko Ryan's the
Speaker 1: new DC soul. There's been some change, some high profile
Speaker 1: change in the division. Yeah, Brandon Staley was a surprise
Speaker 1: to me. That was really a surprise. After one year
Speaker 1: of coordinating in what I think it's four years in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. That was a surprise to me.
Speaker 1: Robert Sala was not and you know what fairthee Well,
Speaker 1: Robert get out of here. Five years ago, Brandon Staley
Speaker 1: was coaching Division three football. Think about that it's almost
Speaker 1: like a chip Kelly you right in a way that's
Speaker 1: so yeah. You have to wonder about that one. Paul,
Speaker 1: we raised the football IQ. Next, Rashaw Johnson, now currently
Speaker 1: with Alabama. Longtime Cardinal safety joins us. Next on the
Speaker 1: Big Red Ray presented by Satan Ford in Gilbert dot
Speaker 1: Gum snapps to Murray drops back the throw byer's left
Speaker 1: side hog can DeAndre Hopkins puts his hands up and
Speaker 1: he catches it and it's a touchdown. I have no
Speaker 1: idea how he caught that ball. DeAndre Hopkins hands are
Speaker 1: as good as we've ever seen. What a great catch
Speaker 1: by DeAndre Hopkins. The harvester of Sorrows. Cardinals blitz back
Speaker 1: to throw. Dalton gets hit hand slam to the ground
Speaker 1: by Buda Baker. Dalton never saw Baker like a torpedo.
Speaker 1: He came flying into the backfield and smoked Andy Dalton.
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker is a dog doo double g wow. He
Speaker 1: goes one hundred miles an hour. Last year in the offseason,
Speaker 1: Steve Kim got the hardware for winning the offseason. So
Speaker 1: far into the offseason, the hardware has gone to Buddha
Speaker 1: Baker first Team All Pro and the Pro Bowl. DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins Second Team All Pro, one hundred fifteen catches over
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred yards receiving him by the way, Budda had
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen tackles, and then Kyler Murray Corse
Speaker 1: going to the Pro Bowl as well. Wolf As we
Speaker 1: welcome everyone back here to the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by Santanford and Gilbert. You know your big time when
Speaker 1: you're on a radio call and you heard a little
Speaker 1: radio montage there from Arizona Cardinals radio win. It's time
Speaker 1: for the college football playoffs and you go to one
Speaker 1: of the ESPN TV platforms, one of the channels, and
Speaker 1: it's devoted to the Alabama radio call. Did you see that? Yes, yes, Polly.
Speaker 1: There's the regular broadcast and then there's broadcast for Bama
Speaker 1: Nation and it featured, among others on the radio call,
Speaker 1: Rashad Johnson who joins us now on the Big Red Rage. Shot,
Speaker 1: How you doing doing? Wor about yourself? Run? Aw youre doing?
Speaker 1: We're doing great, shot Man. I really appreciate you joining us.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us. Man. Talking a little bit
Speaker 1: of ball coming up, because we all know championship Sunday
Speaker 1: one of the better days for football fans, right yeah, Man,
Speaker 1: an awesome day to be a part of it. Can't
Speaker 1: wait to watch it this Sunday for really good teams. Man,
Speaker 1: I could go in anyway, you know, one player way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, really exciting for sure. This is just me,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure other people share this opinion. When you
Speaker 1: saw the Bears in the playoff, it was especially vexing
Speaker 1: because you're like, man, the Cardinals should have been there,
Speaker 1: especially instead of the Bears. When you followed the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: I know from Afar this year, and you saw the
Speaker 1: progress of a Kyler Murray, but then you saw things
Speaker 1: get sideways in the second half of the season, the
Speaker 1: way they ended the season. How do you think the
Speaker 1: Cardinals going to the off season, what if they're feeling
Speaker 1: like and how much change do you think needs to
Speaker 1: be made big picture? Yeah, you know, when you look
Speaker 1: at it, I mean really home fire, you know, winning
Speaker 1: five of the first seven games, but when they came
Speaker 1: in said like what happened? Because when you win a
Speaker 1: couple of games, you're going to your buy you think
Speaker 1: you the tenue to win games? I think we love right,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what speaking to drop. I think the
Speaker 1: line dropped a little bit. Maybe we can try and
Speaker 1: reconnect here and hear from Rashaw Johnson, because I mean,
Speaker 1: here's a guy who knows firsthand from experience. Here's the
Speaker 1: guy who walked on in Alabama and was a two
Speaker 1: time team captain, two time captain, which that doesn't happen
Speaker 1: in Alabama. It does not. In fact, I think it
Speaker 1: was a first, wasn't it yea program Moodily that Paul
Speaker 1: Rashad Johnson was one of these guys as you well know,
Speaker 1: that was really like a coach on the field. This
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons, this is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite conversations PAULI that we have almost every year. It's
Speaker 1: with Rashaan Johnson because of the player that he was,
Speaker 1: not only physically on the field and the plays that
Speaker 1: he would make, but mentally on the field and the
Speaker 1: way you get everyone else lined up. It's one of
Speaker 1: the best conversations you're ever gonna have if you want
Speaker 1: to talk ball. So, talking again with john pick up
Speaker 1: with the end of this season and those two disappointing
Speaker 1: losses with the playoffs hanging in the balance, does that
Speaker 1: tell you anything? Does that change anything going into this offseason,
Speaker 1: just the way the season ended. You know, I was say,
Speaker 1: you know, it changes anything, because you know, one of
Speaker 1: those games was lost with arguably you know, you're your
Speaker 1: best player not playing in that game with Kyler, you know,
Speaker 1: getting hurt early in that game. Uh, it's hard to
Speaker 1: replace the guy that superstar status. You know, not know
Speaker 1: this against the backup or anybody like that, but we
Speaker 1: understand the talent that he has. Number one overall pick,
Speaker 1: you know, drafted in the first round base in baseball.
Speaker 1: He's the league and a lot of different areas than
Speaker 1: a lot of different people. He's like the one percent
Speaker 1: of the one percenter. So when you lose a guy
Speaker 1: like that, it hurts. So I don't think, you know,
Speaker 1: necessarily going into the off season. You know, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh man, we dropped the ball. We lost our best players.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we wish we could have stepped up defensively to
Speaker 1: get that win and get us in. But you know,
Speaker 1: we know we have an opportunity to where it's left
Speaker 1: up to us. Honestly, you know, we we have to decide,
Speaker 1: you know, right now with our group, you know, with
Speaker 1: the guys that we have, and I think we have
Speaker 1: a collectively a good group of young guys. DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. Great move
Speaker 1: by Steve com Buddha Baker, young safety. You know you
Speaker 1: built around those guys, Isaiah said, you know these guys
Speaker 1: first round picks. So I think you build off of
Speaker 1: it and you continue to push one game away. It
Speaker 1: isn't like you were five, So isn't a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of change that needs to be made. Only
Speaker 1: a few pieces need to be added to continue to
Speaker 1: push that fire and try and stay healthy. Man, Shot,
Speaker 1: you were a safety in the National Football League for
Speaker 1: a long time and a guy that was a coach
Speaker 1: on the field. It was something we were talking about.
Speaker 1: Something I appreciated the most about you, Shot was the
Speaker 1: fact that you loved the chess match. You love the
Speaker 1: mental side of it, You love scheme, and you went
Speaker 1: out there and made sure other guys knew exactly what
Speaker 1: it was that you're gonna do. As you watch Buddha
Speaker 1: Baker through that safety lens, just how I mean, tell
Speaker 1: us what you see from a safety to a safety. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I see a guy that you know has
Speaker 1: fearless mentality. For number one, the way he comes down.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what breaks are and you know, I
Speaker 1: hopefully doesn't drive because I'm kind of scared of it.
Speaker 1: Is he running red light? Stop side? He just goes
Speaker 1: man and I love that about him. He's fast paced
Speaker 1: and he's also smart. You watch him when he blitzes
Speaker 1: a lot of times that he's he's disguising and then
Speaker 1: he's he's getting the blitz on the right timing. He's
Speaker 1: hitting that line right when the ball is snapped, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's not you know, a coincidence that he's doing that.
Speaker 1: That comes from film study, a lot of preparation understanding.
Speaker 1: You know, the line count is the guard, the guy
Speaker 1: that taps the center to let him know that the
Speaker 1: snap the ball is about to be snapped. Are that
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks you know, clapping his hands that makes the
Speaker 1: ball snap. There's a lot of different factors when you
Speaker 1: watch enough tape to understand that, and he does a
Speaker 1: great job of doing that as a blitzer man, so
Speaker 1: just as a safety to another safety man, I'm highly impressed.
Speaker 1: You know, I just love to watch him play and
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he has tremendous upside here with
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, like he said, all pro deserved every bit
Speaker 1: of that. Congrats man, Um, He's a great guy to
Speaker 1: build around. Man, So y'all got a fearless competitor and
Speaker 1: the mentality. If the rest of the defense and team
Speaker 1: can build with him, you're gonna be tough to beat. Sure.
Speaker 1: Advanced Joseph the d defensive coordinator had the best quote
Speaker 1: I've ever heard about Buddha Baker. He said, he'll run.
Speaker 1: He'll run into the darkness, right split, I know, right
Speaker 1: for Sean, doesn't that sound so cool? I mean, it
Speaker 1: was just full speed sprint into the darkness. That's Buddha Baker.
Speaker 1: And you know, I just listening to you talk about him,
Speaker 1: the way he comes down from that secondary man and
Speaker 1: plays with abandon, It's just I appreciate that. That's some
Speaker 1: old school stuff. Shot. Yeah, and as the yes, as
Speaker 1: the highest paid safety in the game, he can definitely
Speaker 1: afford a fast ride. Put it that way. I don't
Speaker 1: know what he drives, but he can definitely afford it.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you. In the secondary. Rashad Johnson our
Speaker 1: guest here in the Big Read. Rachel, former Cardinals safety,
Speaker 1: had nine picks between two fourteen twenty fifteen. One of
Speaker 1: the biggest decisions facing the Cardinals. A guy you're really
Speaker 1: tight with Patrick Peterson, but it could be a big
Speaker 1: money ticket. He's beyond that magic number of thirty needs
Speaker 1: and wants. We know how important it is to have
Speaker 1: a cover corner. How to you says that decision the
Speaker 1: Cardinals have to make on Patrick p Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean we all understand the game and how it
Speaker 1: works and the business side of it. It's all going
Speaker 1: to come down to, you know, the value that they
Speaker 1: see that that Patrick still holds within the organization as
Speaker 1: a as a you know, a lockdown corner, and you
Speaker 1: know the number and what they're looking at. So it's
Speaker 1: all going to come down to a number game at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, and can they can they
Speaker 1: agree upon that? You know? Uh, Patrick, you know has
Speaker 1: has played you know well this season. We all saw
Speaker 1: some ups and downs through it all. Um. I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that is solid though, man,
Speaker 1: I mean he's been solid in his career here, has
Speaker 1: been solid you know, in his time out into the
Speaker 1: public as well and just building younger guys up. So
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that can still you know,
Speaker 1: hold that position and be a guy who can still
Speaker 1: be a cornerstone. Obviously Buddha has that big name now,
Speaker 1: that big guy that's pushing up to transcend to be
Speaker 1: that that focal point of that group, which is understandably,
Speaker 1: so you always look for younger talent um. So I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna come down and can we find
Speaker 1: someone that we think, you know, values out better then
Speaker 1: Patrick at this time, and Kenny's numbers agree because I think,
Speaker 1: you know, they both value each other, and I think
Speaker 1: the city and team both would you know, like to
Speaker 1: see each other, you know, finish their careers together. You
Speaker 1: know what it's all setting done with everything that's been done,
Speaker 1: so we'll see. We saw Pro Football Focus assess the
Speaker 1: top one hundred free agents out there and Pat he
Speaker 1: was the highest rated, the highest graded Arizona cardinal free
Speaker 1: agent to be He's number seventy one. They had Kelvin
Speaker 1: Beacham seventy five, Kennyan Drake seventy seven, Hasan Reddick eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Although there was another study. We'll have to put his
Speaker 1: son Reddick as the most valuable guy to resign just
Speaker 1: because of his age, the position he plays, in the
Speaker 1: fact he had twelve and a half Sacks. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you need that edge in today's NFL. There's no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. And Hassan Roddick truly stepped up for the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals when Chandler Jones went down. But man, Hassan
Speaker 1: Reddick is a guy that I think is going to
Speaker 1: get paid. I think there's a lot of teams out there,
Speaker 1: Paulie that are going to look at Hassan and say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: we don't have a guy like that. Let's go get him.
Speaker 1: Let's see if the Cardinals go get another Alabama guy
Speaker 1: like Rashad Johnson once upon a time. We'll talk draft
Speaker 1: next on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert Buddha Baker is back. He's not the first
Speaker 1: cardinal ever to play with nine fingers. Yes, Rashad Johnson
Speaker 1: did that. Of course, Rashad's fell off. Buddhas is back intact.
Speaker 1: This is the most graphic injury report ever. I'm a
Speaker 1: truth teller, Wolf, I mean, it's it's not like it's
Speaker 1: a story that people aren't aware of. Rashad is still
Speaker 1: doing just fine with nine fingers as a broadcaster for Alabama.
Speaker 1: He's still making appearances getting mentioned in Cardinals broadcast that
Speaker 1: was from the twenty twenty season. That was a pregame
Speaker 1: show Wolf you and Dave, and you've referenced our guests
Speaker 1: Rashad Johnson and the fact that old boy, once upon
Speaker 1: a time, I remember like it was yesterday. There the
Speaker 1: Cardinals team trains. Why are they looking in the garbage
Speaker 1: for the rest of that glove because Baul still has
Speaker 1: the rest of Rashaan Johnson's fingertip in it, and all boys, Rashot,
Speaker 1: how are you in your finger doing these days? By
Speaker 1: the way, Oh man, it's been great, awesome, It's been
Speaker 1: a benefit every time I go get a manicure ten
Speaker 1: percent all. You know, Set, I have to tell you
Speaker 1: every every time we talk about this, and I say
Speaker 1: this to you every year, I'm jealous. That is a
Speaker 1: great story, bro, That's one of the best stories ever.
Speaker 1: I lost part of my finger playing ball game. Man.
Speaker 1: I know, man, that is so And you know, before
Speaker 1: we get to Alabama and you're a broadcaster on that
Speaker 1: team right now, that New Orleans game makes me think
Speaker 1: of Tyron Matthew. And that makes me think of Tyron
Speaker 1: Matthew this past weekend and that game he had can
Speaker 1: you give us a quick word on the Badger, a
Speaker 1: guy who has more interceptions than any safety over the
Speaker 1: last two seasons. Yeah, man, the Badger's continue to be
Speaker 1: the Badger Man, you know, the father odds and continue
Speaker 1: just to go and be a leader no matter where
Speaker 1: he's at. You know, the odds are getting sometimes and
Speaker 1: sometimes you think that you know, it may not be
Speaker 1: where he's playing at the where you think he should
Speaker 1: be at, and he continues just to show up like
Speaker 1: uh he. I think his quote was, m I'm the
Speaker 1: smallest dog in the yard, but it's still my yard.
Speaker 1: I think that was one of the quotes he had
Speaker 1: on the play he made on the tall sweep in
Speaker 1: the backfield. And I mean, he's just it's just him man.
Speaker 1: His mentality, his play is terrific and I just love
Speaker 1: to watch him man, and big us to Utah Man,
Speaker 1: and much love to you. Continue to do what you do.
Speaker 1: Go get your another ring, doc, Yeah man. One of
Speaker 1: the great things I love watching Badger play as well.
Speaker 1: One of the great things about football is it's it's
Speaker 1: an individual game in a team sport and it is
Speaker 1: a beautiful, beautiful thing. And just knowing the way that
Speaker 1: Badger would go ahead and prepare. But because it is
Speaker 1: a team sport. Shot. Do you believe in culture? Do
Speaker 1: you believe in a team having a culture, And if so,
Speaker 1: what is it? Oh? Yeah, no doubt about it. I
Speaker 1: think you know, culture is the team. You know that
Speaker 1: that's what makes that team be able to ascend to
Speaker 1: the top of the mountain if you don't breed a
Speaker 1: culture of people and individuals that that buy into, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever that culture may be. You know, different people have
Speaker 1: different ways of how they run their culture. You know
Speaker 1: the culture at Alabama, you know, me being there and
Speaker 1: understanding that a lot of it and working there and
Speaker 1: being an alice for you know, as a coach of accountability,
Speaker 1: coach will discipline a cultural team first, you know, and
Speaker 1: you see guys do that year in a year out.
Speaker 1: And you watch guys this year who put the team first,
Speaker 1: who are accountable, who didn't choose to go to the
Speaker 1: NFL like Nagy Harris and Davante Smith to come back
Speaker 1: and then Mac Jones to wait behind to a tongue
Speaker 1: of below and Jalen Hurts and to win a national championship. Man,
Speaker 1: it was you know, that type of culture just doesn't
Speaker 1: happen overnight. You know, it's built over many years. And
Speaker 1: you see guys, you know, individuals can bring that to
Speaker 1: your team, you know, and bring that spart to it.
Speaker 1: And I think you know Tyry Matthews one of those
Speaker 1: guys when he was here with the Cardinals. You know,
Speaker 1: he was a great guy in our secondary from thirteen
Speaker 1: to however long he was here. You know, he was
Speaker 1: a spark. He was a great glue piece of part
Speaker 1: of that. You know, even though he had the time
Speaker 1: when he was injured, his time here helped push that
Speaker 1: whole unit, you know, And he's doing the same thing
Speaker 1: everywhere else he's been. So culture is so huge, and
Speaker 1: the individuals you have within your culture is even bigger.
Speaker 1: It's all about you or Sean Johnson, former Cardinals safety,
Speaker 1: Presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert all Right. A year ago,
Speaker 1: Bama had four first rounders and nine players selected in
Speaker 1: the top three rounds. What do you think Bama's tracking
Speaker 1: for this year? Oh my god, I haven't looked at
Speaker 1: it in too far in depth, but man, this year
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a It's gonna be a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: Let me first rounders off the top of my head.
Speaker 1: You know, you could think of Nagi, DeVante, Mac Landing, Alex.
Speaker 1: I mean that's five there, you know, just off the
Speaker 1: top of me. We're not even going defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, Patrick Satan, you know, it's a great corner.
Speaker 1: Who I think Jalen Waddle. I'm sorry, there's an other one,
Speaker 1: you know. I think they may do something really spectacular.
Speaker 1: Maybe the most first rounders you know, in the draft history.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that number is, but right there,
Speaker 1: I've got to seven and I'm thinking of right now.
Speaker 1: So they had a great group, man. A lot of
Speaker 1: young talent that's leaving out. This year's junior is in
Speaker 1: a lot of older talent that stayed that I think
Speaker 1: benefited by making that decision. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: young guys want to go ahead and jump. They want
Speaker 1: to leave and go to the NFL. They want to
Speaker 1: get that money, they want to get that opportunity. A
Speaker 1: lot of guys shows to come back. Man, I think
Speaker 1: they cashed out in a major way, like Leatherwood, Naji
Speaker 1: and Davonte Smith. You know, Sean that one of my
Speaker 1: favorite guys to watch play the game of football is
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. No doubt stop it. You know, what are
Speaker 1: you saying, We're getting thirteen personnel, We're gonna line up
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna run inside zone. We're gonna run straight. Well,
Speaker 1: I absolutely love watching Derrick Henry run the ball. How
Speaker 1: does Naji Harris compare? So compare and contrast Naji Harris
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry. Yeah, I'm think you know, Naji Harris
Speaker 1: has the power that Derreck Henry has um in a
Speaker 1: different form. I think he doesn't have the like Derek's long,
Speaker 1: speak faster, I think than Naji, but I think short
Speaker 1: area quickness in terms of making defenders miss are having
Speaker 1: that decision to have power, Naji's very special at that man.
Speaker 1: He can he can have a tremendous spin move and
Speaker 1: I actually think he's a better route runner and one
Speaker 1: on one matchup out of the backfield. So I mean,
Speaker 1: if you want a guy that you know thirteen personnel
Speaker 1: bruise you and can do that, you know, Derek's gonna
Speaker 1: weigh on you in four quarters. But Naji is a
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna weigh on you in four quarters in
Speaker 1: a different way because he can wear you out in
Speaker 1: the run games, but also on third down I mean
Speaker 1: he's he's tremendous out of the backfield, man. I mean
Speaker 1: his junior year, I think he caught eight or nine
Speaker 1: touchdowns as a running back. You know, so really special talent. Man.
Speaker 1: I like them both, I honestly to say, I've had
Speaker 1: to pick one or the other. I kind of like NA.
Speaker 1: I kind of like NA have a little bit more
Speaker 1: versatile to him. Even though King Henry is the team
Speaker 1: right now. A lot of I love watching the NFL
Speaker 1: DB's turned down tackles of Derrick Henry. Bad. That's saying something. Yeah, business,
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't get off this block. Sorry, right, so
Speaker 1: we're shot. Tell us about Patrick Certan because a lot
Speaker 1: of people think Cardinals at sixteen overall are going to
Speaker 1: go after a corner and I'm thinking that might be
Speaker 1: a fit. Give us a quick thumbnail, quick skyner report
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, smart, uh, tough football guy man. You
Speaker 1: know his dad played in the NFL. He was bred
Speaker 1: to do this, um and I think that would be
Speaker 1: a great fit, you know, a great lockdown corner. You know,
Speaker 1: he came in as a true freshman, so I got
Speaker 1: a chance to see him come in. Maturity level is
Speaker 1: is way beyond you. Know his years as a freshman,
Speaker 1: he was locked in. He could take the you know,
Speaker 1: the ups and downs from coach Savans who can give
Speaker 1: you a thrashing like no other. Um, and he was
Speaker 1: locked in. He could take it in and bounce back
Speaker 1: next day. UM. So he's a smart guy versus two
Speaker 1: you know plays outside, we play a lot of different multiples.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, it's a guy you can count
Speaker 1: to be your number one guy. I don't think he
Speaker 1: gave up any big plays and touchdowns this season. So
Speaker 1: I like Patrick Man, good tackler, um and a big frame.
Speaker 1: So my scouttering reporters, if you pick him, Man, you
Speaker 1: you picked the football player, and I think you got
Speaker 1: yourself as a really good one. Shout. I know you're
Speaker 1: so busy with Alabama and your responsibilities with Alabama and
Speaker 1: the side line reporting end. But when you when you
Speaker 1: look at the NFC Championship game coming up with Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay and the Green Bay Packers, where does your mind
Speaker 1: go in that game? Man, Tampa Bay and Green Bay's
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy. It's gonna be one of those games
Speaker 1: that who who can hit the quarterback? Who can disrupt
Speaker 1: the guy with the ball. UM? But also with the
Speaker 1: defensive front, you gotta be able to stop the run.
Speaker 1: We understand that that that Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: has had a terrific gear, but we can't forget that
Speaker 1: running back of Aaron Johns and the way that they've
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball as well and give
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to make those big plays down the field.
Speaker 1: And the same thing with the Buccaneers. I mean, Thomas
Speaker 1: had a great year, has played well, but he's played
Speaker 1: his best when Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournett are grinding
Speaker 1: it out. So whichever one of these defensive lines and
Speaker 1: my opinion, plays the best tomorrow in terms of Sunday,
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of stopping the run and being
Speaker 1: able to get to the pastor and get some hits
Speaker 1: on him, wins this game. And I'm leaning a little
Speaker 1: bit more towards green Bay in this one. And a
Speaker 1: quick thought Bills at the Chiefs. You're talking to a
Speaker 1: Bills team that's one eleven out of twelve. The only
Speaker 1: loss was the Hail Murray against the Cardinals. What do
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, man, I like the Bills. Man I
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs too, Don't get me wrong. The Chiefs
Speaker 1: have done some really special things. Great teams. It's hard
Speaker 1: to pick against, you know, my homeboy and that offense
Speaker 1: and tie and that defense. But I like the Bills, man,
Speaker 1: just like you said, They've won, you know, eleven or
Speaker 1: last twelve. The only one they lost was the Hall
Speaker 1: married This defense is playing well, Sean McDermott and those
Speaker 1: guys are firing around, man, flying around really well. And
Speaker 1: I think they can they can rush the pastor you know,
Speaker 1: with their front four, and I think, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: this year with my man, sorry, I can't even I'm
Speaker 1: losing his name at quarterback. How can you even do that?
Speaker 1: For shot? Josh Allen? Josh Allen? Yeah, man, he's been special.
Speaker 1: Jen's name, he's been that special. I forgot his name.
Speaker 1: But he's been so well with his legs extending plays.
Speaker 1: He's had that type of Patrick Mahomes type year in
Speaker 1: terms of making those plays with his legs. And I
Speaker 1: see him going out, you know, in this game and
Speaker 1: doing the same thing, and we gotta think, you know,
Speaker 1: this concussion last week, I know he's gonna be clear
Speaker 1: that he's gonna play, but doesn't affect his play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so weird because Josh Allen is the only one
Speaker 1: that doesn't won an MVP. There are six MVPs, right that,
Speaker 1: the other three quarterbacks six MVPs. He's the only one
Speaker 1: obviously that has not one NMVP. But man, an incredible talent,
Speaker 1: a guy that I think he has got a bright
Speaker 1: future of course in this league right here. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree. Well, I'm taking the bills and Rashad as
Speaker 1: we wrap it up. You know, how's the podcast going
Speaker 1: secondary perspective with your former teammate Draw Powers. I mean,
Speaker 1: we know you two guys can talk just from your
Speaker 1: just from my experience hanging out with you guys in
Speaker 1: the locker room. I mean that was a podcast waiting
Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, man, it's it's cool. Man. We enjoy
Speaker 1: getting opportunities just to sit back and wrap talk ball,
Speaker 1: you know, try and give a little bit of taker
Speaker 1: in our secondary perspective from our viewpoint. Looking to have
Speaker 1: some guests here soon, so you guys tune in, take
Speaker 1: us out. We're on Instagram, Facebook, all the platforms Twitter.
Speaker 1: If you can't find us a secondary perspective, you know,
Speaker 1: find my Instagram, Rashaw Johnson or Dry Powers. Man. We
Speaker 1: love for the cardinal fans to follow us. You know,
Speaker 1: we'll continue to talk ball and keep you guys in
Speaker 1: form in our lives. So looking forward to it to
Speaker 1: be back on Big Red Rate some more as well.
Speaker 1: That's right, man, So much love and respect for you, brother, seriously,
Speaker 1: God bless you and your family. Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it shows anytime. Man. Yeah, I have a
Speaker 1: good one. Okay, there you go. See we got that
Speaker 1: knowledge that he brings in the podcast. There walth it's
Speaker 1: good and and you're jealous because he gets the ten
Speaker 1: percent discount on the manicure, which you know, which that
Speaker 1: was gonna get. What a great light bully that is
Speaker 1: right there, ten percent discount because he's missing a tip
Speaker 1: of his finger, right and still it is legendary ball.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's why it hadn't hurt. At the time,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good thing, but you know what, in
Speaker 1: retro's back, looking back decades, would have been one of
Speaker 1: the coolest things you could have been. There's two guys
Speaker 1: who get the ten percent discount. There's Rashad Johnson and
Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott. We continue with a Big Red Rage next,
Speaker 1: all presented by Santan four in Gilbert Jealous hand the
Speaker 1: Cornets from ahead and he stumbles forward. He's got the
Speaker 1: first down down to the twenty five yard lot and
Speaker 1: that'll do it. Fournette picks up the first down and
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on their way out of
Speaker 1: the NFC title Game. The Green Bay Packers will close
Speaker 1: out this win over to Los Angeles Rams, and the
Speaker 1: road to Super Bowl fifty five in the NFC will
Speaker 1: go through Green Bay. Fourth NFC Championship game in the
Speaker 1: past seven years for the Packers, but their first at
Speaker 1: Lambeau as they seek their first Super Bowl in a decade.
Speaker 1: And then you have a Tampa team that hasn't been
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl since two thousand and two. So
Speaker 1: those are the stakes in the NFC Championship. Ron Wolfley
Speaker 1: and special thanks to Rashad Johnson, former Cardinals safety. Here
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: I mean, some of these numbers are just absurd. Whether
Speaker 1: it's Green Bay having won seven in a row at
Speaker 1: this point only two turnovers in those seven wins total,
Speaker 1: the fact Tampa BA and Tom Brady have won seven
Speaker 1: road games in a row. I mean, both teams are peaking,
Speaker 1: aren't they. No doubt about a Pala. This is going
Speaker 1: to be a great game. I think this is going
Speaker 1: to be a legendary game. I expect this game to
Speaker 1: be really, really tight, not like the AFC game. I
Speaker 1: can see the Kansas City Chiefs if Patrick Mahomes is healthy,
Speaker 1: I could see the Chiefs running away a little bit
Speaker 1: with that game. At some point in time. I believe
Speaker 1: Josh Allen at the moment, is going to bite him
Speaker 1: in the can. I think at some point it's going
Speaker 1: to get to him, the pressure. He's still a young guy,
Speaker 1: he's still developing. Maybe that happens this weekend, of course
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs defending Super Bowl champions. But
Speaker 1: the NFC game, this is the game I think is
Speaker 1: going to be either This could go either way. Paul,
Speaker 1: all right, so let me ask green Bay came out
Speaker 1: and you talk about the balance in that win against
Speaker 1: the Ramsey had thirty seven passes, they had thirty two runs. Yes,
Speaker 1: but Tampa has the number one rushing defense, number one
Speaker 1: rushing to he heard RuSHA Johnson. Whoever can run the ball.
Speaker 1: What is is may establish it against that Bucks front
Speaker 1: seven ridiculous game. Yes, that is a question right there, Paula,
Speaker 1: You've nailed it. I mean, this is it. Rundown situation
Speaker 1: is going to decide this game. The NFC Championship game
Speaker 1: is going to be decided by rundown situation and who
Speaker 1: plays better in rundown situation first in ten second and
Speaker 1: one to six. Both these teams are so reliant on
Speaker 1: play action. If you watch Aaron Rodgers, it's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing to watch Aaron Rodgers and his
Speaker 1: play action mechanics. There might be one guy in the
Speaker 1: history of the game that is better with his play
Speaker 1: action mechanics than Aaron Rodgers, and that's Tom Brady. Both
Speaker 1: these teams are heavy on running the ball, running the
Speaker 1: ball in between the tackles in particular, and using play
Speaker 1: action to throw the ball in rundown situation down the field.
Speaker 1: The bashion Bomb offense is built on this. It's Bruce Arians.
Speaker 1: We saw it. We know it very very well. Twenty
Speaker 1: two and twenty three, Double the Power without the poll.
Speaker 1: They're gonna line up, use a couple of tight ends,
Speaker 1: and here it comes. They're gonna run the ball. They're
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball in between those tackles and they
Speaker 1: don't care if they get two or three yards. They
Speaker 1: do it because the play action that comes off of
Speaker 1: it is so effective. This game is going to be
Speaker 1: decided during rundown situation and which offense plays better and
Speaker 1: run down. You brought up the fact the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are the number one rush defense in the National
Speaker 1: Football League in terms of rushing yards per game and
Speaker 1: rushing yards per play. Their lights out. If they can
Speaker 1: shut that down, if they can shut down the Packers'
Speaker 1: ability to run the ball, this game is going to
Speaker 1: tighten up big time. Well, the first meeting Tampa one
Speaker 1: big thirty eight ten at Tampa and they held Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones to just fifteen yards on ten carries, and Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers had a complete outlier game. His worst game of
Speaker 1: the year is only bad game of the year by far.
Speaker 1: Sixteen or thirty five A Buck sixties, zero touchdowns, two interceptions.
Speaker 1: The other fifteen games actually sixteen games after the playoff win,
Speaker 1: he has fifty touchdown passes and just three interceptions. So
Speaker 1: if he's looking for redemption, look out he's speaking of zero. Paul.
Speaker 1: Zero is something Todd Bowles loves to do. From time
Speaker 1: to time. Cover zero man across the board, Baby, send
Speaker 1: everybody go after Aaron Rodgers. I'm interested to see how
Speaker 1: much he actually blitzes Aaron Rodgers, because that's one of
Speaker 1: the things you do not speak of. That's one of
Speaker 1: the things you do not do to Aaron Rodgers. But
Speaker 1: will Todd Bowles do it? That's a question. And then
Speaker 1: the flip side. Tom Brady in his fourteenth Championship game,
Speaker 1: think about that. If he wins, he joins Peyton, Kurt
Speaker 1: Burner and Craig Morton is the only quarterbacks to lead
Speaker 1: two separate franchises into this Super Bowl. We hit up
Speaker 1: the AMC next. It's the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: Santan Ford in Gilbert Alan Jackson E and that'll do it.
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills, for the first time since nineteen ninety four,
Speaker 1: are going to the AFC Championship Game. This magic ride
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen and the rest of the Bills will
Speaker 1: continue for at least one more week. The pinches into
Speaker 1: the talk isn't twelve seconds in chicking? This one is
Speaker 1: over in The Chiefs are going to the AFC Championship
Speaker 1: Game for the third consecutive year, but what is the
Speaker 1: status of Patrick Mahomes. He has the clear concussion protocol. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is the question posed on Westwood One as he
Speaker 1: heard the playoff games come to a close right there,
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship has said the Bills at the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: who are wrapping up this edition of the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage percent of by Santan ford In, Gilbert Paul KELVC
Speaker 1: and Buffalo native Ron Wolfley, who will celebrate this Sunday
Speaker 1: the late game by jumping off his F fifty in
Speaker 1: his driveway onto a folding table. So, Paully, the Bills
Speaker 1: mafia does exist at the wolf Ley compot. You and
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, we need video of that. You guys need
Speaker 1: to do that, and that a goal viral. Seriously, you
Speaker 1: need to do something like that. A way too sophisticated
Speaker 1: to do that, Faul. Yeah, by the way, to answer
Speaker 1: that question about the status of Patrick Mahomes, he did
Speaker 1: take the majority of snaps in practice today and according
Speaker 1: to Andy Reid, quote, Pat looked good out there. He's
Speaker 1: moving around, well, he feels good. It's just important that
Speaker 1: we follow the protocol, Yes, exactly. Yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: a fat to complete. I think there's no way he's
Speaker 1: not going to play. He's going to play in that
Speaker 1: game coming up on Sunday. But this one is interesting too. Yes,
Speaker 1: my heart wishes the Buffalo Bills would actually go to
Speaker 1: another Super Bowl because I think of the k Gun
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly. Four consecutive Super Bowls, Paul, you still think
Speaker 1: it's one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Agreed to go four consecutive Super
Speaker 1: Bulls is unthinkable, and yet you never won a Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: which is equally unthinkable. Right here, But the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, and see that's always been the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs Achilles Heel to meet Paully. The fact
Speaker 1: that the Bills can't line up and pound the ball
Speaker 1: in between the tackles. I don't think it's a good matchup.
Speaker 1: I don't I think they're gonna throw the ball in.
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs one of the best teams in
Speaker 1: the National Football League in taking the ball away from
Speaker 1: you number ten is a matter of fact, in takeaways
Speaker 1: this year, and tied for number five in interceptions with
Speaker 1: sixteen interceptions. And when I think of interceptions, I think
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen and those great wide receivers Stefon Diggs,
Speaker 1: John Brown, Cole Beasley, the great passing attack that the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills have. And I think of Tyrn Matthew. I
Speaker 1: think of the Badger Paully Well. I think of turnovers
Speaker 1: in this game. I think of what Matthew must be
Speaker 1: thinking when he watches film from last week when the
Speaker 1: Bills ran for a season low thirty two yards on
Speaker 1: the ground their first twenty plays where all passes. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean, is are they really that inept at running
Speaker 1: the ball? Wolf? Or was that strictly a game plan
Speaker 1: thing against the Ravens front, including former Cardinal Clays Campe.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both, Polly, There's no doubt.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both. Because the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: are a very, very physical team, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: But they're a team the Buffalo Bills that are really
Speaker 1: not built like the Green Bay Packers, the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and even the Kansas City Chiefs. They don't use
Speaker 1: a ton of play action. It's Josh Allen, and Josh
Speaker 1: Allen's gonna be throwing the ball. Those three receivers Stefan Diggs,
Speaker 1: John Brown and Cole Beasley. Polly, It's like it's the
Speaker 1: perfect blend. You got Stefan Diggs to go deep, you
Speaker 1: got Cole Beasley to run the short stuff, and then
Speaker 1: John Brown the short to intermediate stuff and the great
Speaker 1: route runner that he is. It's a great eleven personnel,
Speaker 1: one back, one tight end, three wide receiver personnel package.
Speaker 1: And don't let me say ever again that a quarterback
Speaker 1: can improve his accuracy. Think of Josh Allen as rookie
Speaker 1: this year. He was fourth in completion percentage. He jumped
Speaker 1: more than ten percent in completion percentage from last season
Speaker 1: to this season. It's whole individual, Paul, It's remarkable and
Speaker 1: it just once again it goes back to the jump.
Speaker 1: Perhaps Kyler Murray might make even more so in year three.
Speaker 1: We'll see special thanks Jim al monro Cody Fincher, Ron
Speaker 1: will pin On, Paul KELVC. This has been the Big
