12
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any better than that, boy. Unleash the fiards.

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm speaking that into existence here off the top of

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage. Doubted you know, Wolf just for that.

15
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: When I graduated college, I swore that not only would

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: I never read another word of Shakespeare, but I would

17
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: never be the guy who quotes Shakespeare. Okay until now?

18
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: All right, what are you gonna do? Paul King Lear

19
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Wolf and the famous quote from King lear and it

20
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: goes like this, and I do quote, nothing will come

21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: of nothing. If you invest nothing, you will gain nothing.

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: And that brings us and I think capsualizes the offseason.

23
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Invest in nih offseason, NFL, so thou shalt reap a

24
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: bountiful regular season. So the rest of the league doesn't

25
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: say wherefore art thou in the postseason? You went deep

26
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: right there, right off the top. Well, I saw the

27
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: rookie minicamp, which we're going to talk about, and then

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to Lucida Smith, that rare sixth rounder

29
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: who might actually make a run of some serious playing time.

30
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: Just saying a little bit of a prediction. We'll see,

31
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him. I think you'll be impressed with

32
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: Lucida Smith. We'll go from there. But Wolf, this is

33
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: where you guys put in that time that you hopefully

34
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: right and because once again, nothing will come up nothing

35
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: unless you get your keyster out there and make it happen.

36
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: That's right, Paula. You gotta have something. You got to

37
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: have something, even if it starts with nothing. And that

38
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: really is what the rookies are doing for the most part.

39
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: They're starting with nothing because if you don't know what

40
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: you're doing, Paul, really doesn't matter. All the goodness that

41
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: God has given you, all your physical abilities, your physical talent,

42
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: all of it, Paul, none of it matters if you

43
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing, all right, you need that roadmap.

44
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: You need to master the offense. You need to be

45
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: able to master the defense. You need to do that

46
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: before you can actually go out and perform. You know what.

47
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw on Acy Cardinals dot

48
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: com and the YouTube channel right, but there was a

49
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: wired of Trey McBride. We're gonna play a little clip,

50
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: but at the very end of the full piece, Cliff

51
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: Kingsbury says essentially that Wolf, I mean evidence of a

52
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: guy who spent ten years in the NFL locker room.

53
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Because Cliff Kingsbury's message was, look at how much better

54
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: we were today than yesterday because everybody had that much

55
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: more of a grasp of the playbook and knew what

56
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: they were doing, and we're actually able to see the

57
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: athleticism guys. Guys weren't as much thinking as they were playing.

58
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: And so that is part of the challenge for the

59
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: rookies and Trey McBride, the highest drafted rookie in this

60
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: claft class in this second round. He was miked up

61
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: at Cardinals rookie camp. And here's a clip. Here we go,

62
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: here we go getting this ball. Damn, I got a

63
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: mug in my ear. You just got to tighten it

64
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: down on that on follow if you're number three, just

65
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: because you gotta get over there. Let's go here we

66
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: have ballade. He's the same palm trees football paradise. That's right.

67
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Come on, we gotta catch that man, catch the ball

68
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: all day. Bring it up, bring up, bring up, hey,

69
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: good job today, man, high energy, keep it up, man,

70
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: keep rolling team on three two three? About it a

71
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: montage from rookie camp, Tray McBride, you hear the football paradise.

72
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: That was a reference to what Cliff Kingsbury told him

73
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: over the phone when they drafted him as a kid

74
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: who was from Colorado, played at Colorado State, first team

75
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: All American. You're John Mackey Award winner, is the top

76
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: tight end in college ball. And there he is leading

77
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: the white little bit of leadership at rookie minicamp. Yeah.

78
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: I like that, PAULI. Of course, um he is the

79
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: highest pick, of course, in this year's draft day second rounder,

80
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: knowing that to the Arizona Cardlson Steve Come used Marquis

81
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Brown to actually absorb the twenty third pick overhaul in

82
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: the first round. That was very nice. Um, Trey McBride,

83
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I am jacked up on Polly, I really am, because

84
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: what is he six four paul, two hundred forty six

85
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: pounds is not what he is right there? Six four two.

86
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: That's interesting because George Kittle six four two fifty. I'm

87
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: just saying, Paul, I'm just saying, can you imagine right

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: now Trey McBride has a little something something coming out

89
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: of the side of his neck. I think his future

90
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: is not as a move tight end. I think his

91
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: future is as the why now he can play both

92
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: right now, Paully, And that's the great thing about it.

93
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: He can play both. So if you do get Max

94
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Williams back, and you do have zach Ertz as that

95
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: move tight end guy, now all of a sudden you've

96
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: got a backup for either, or if something happens to

97
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: zach Ertz in a game he gets nicked up, or

98
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: maybe Max Williams. Now, all of a sudden, you got

99
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: a guy that you could plug in and who knows, Polly,

100
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: he may actually start coming out of training camp. Think

101
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: about this. He led d one tight ends with ninety

102
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: catches for over eleven hundred yards receiving right, it's pretty

103
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: good ball. But he told the media, you're gonna like this.

104
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: He told the media that over seventy percent of his

105
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: snaps and his job in college was blocking. Yes, so

106
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: think about the production. Despite the fact that, according to him,

107
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: more than two thirds of their time he's on the field,

108
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: he was required to block. Yes. Now, once again, you're

109
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to prove it to me, Polly. You know this.

110
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: You know how I feel about this. I was a

111
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: rookie once myself. I was a rookie once myself. I

112
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: came in. Not a lot of fan fair Paul, not

113
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fans a fullback, and they didn't throw

114
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: a fourth round fullback. It was not a lot right there,

115
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: even though I was one hundred and fourth overall tasted, Polly,

116
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: there's a flex. I'm just saying. I wasn't. Yeah, I wasn't.

117
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I came in, but man, I can't tell you how

118
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: many other rookies I've seen come in. Paul is a

119
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: ten year veteran in the National Football League, and man,

120
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I had scouts telling me watch his kid. Watch this kid.

121
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: This kid is gonna change everything. And suddenly, you know what,

122
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: there was a problem because the scout thought he was

123
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: going to change the way we played football. He just

124
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: couldn't play. That was that was the problem. And I see, Paul,

125
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure you see the problem right there. Right. Well, look,

126
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: once upon a time the Cardinals took Troy Nicholas in

127
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: round two. Yes, and that was a specimen six six,

128
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: two fifty plus, get out of my way. And we

129
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: both remember standing there in his rookie camp, right, and

130
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: he was a little banged up to start, which pretty

131
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: much typified his entire career. But when he got healthy

132
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: in the middle of training camp, what did he do

133
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: in his first old line D line drill? He stood

134
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: up Darnell Dockett. Yeah, and we all said, whoa man. Now,

135
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: obviously his career did not materialize. So I'm not making

136
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: any sort of predictions here, but I am going to

137
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: share what Cliff Kingsbury said he likes about his rookie

138
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: tight end, Trey McBride. He's a smooth route runner. You know,

139
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: we won't know until he puts the pads On. We

140
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: watched the film. We love the physicality on tape, but

141
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: this is a different level. But as far as running routes,

142
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: great athlete, you know, three sports star in high school,

143
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: so it really has an ease about the way he

144
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: runs routes and does things. And here's what else the

145
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: head coach likes about Trey McBride. And this is according

146
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: to Trey McBride who shared with the meeting we talked

147
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: about this last week that coach Kingsbury would like to

148
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: disguise the offense a little bit more. And so if

149
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: you have a true duel tight end like a Max Williams,

150
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: a guy who comes in and isn't an automatic tell

151
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: whether you're gonna throw or run the football, well, you

152
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: know what more that more better if you will no

153
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: doubt about it, Pali. That is what is fantastic in

154
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: regard to going to more of two tight ends set.

155
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: And zach Ertz is a willing blocker. He's not a

156
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: why he's not a Max Williams. He's not going to

157
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: come off the ball and remove somebody forcibly against his will.

158
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: But zach Ertz is a guy that will stick his

159
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: face into the fan and now maybe you've got a

160
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: situation where Trey McBride could be that guy, Polly. I

161
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: just think this is the evolution that needs to happen

162
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: with this offense going forward. Do you know my thoughts

163
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: on this. I'm not saying that suddenly it's going to

164
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: look like every other offense in the National Football League

165
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: for the most part, where they really blend the shotgun

166
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: with putting quarterbacks under center. I don't think we're going

167
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: to see that dramatic of a change, but I do

168
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: believe we're going to see a lot more of two

169
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,359
Speaker 1: tight ends, and I think we need to look historically,

170
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: we've seen tight ends after the first round over the

171
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: past decade. The numbers say only nine. Only nine tight

172
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: ends have been selected in the first round over the

173
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: past decade, so that's usually where teams will start drafting

174
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: the tight end. Now, running back, we also know that

175
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: you can find a running back back on day two,

176
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: even day three, which brings us to Keyante Ingram, a

177
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: guy who I think beyond Trey McBride, has the best

178
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: chance to get on the field right away because behind

179
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: James Connor it is wide open. And Cliff Kingsbury was

180
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: asked about a six round running back out of USC.

181
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: Just a work ethic, the character, all those things checked

182
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: all the boxes. I can play special teams, big physical back,

183
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: and we just felt he fit what we do and

184
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: that role. That can be your third fourth guy that

185
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: plays special teams and can come in and played a

186
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: high level on offense as well. Right, So Wolf is

187
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: a guy who spent a decade in a running back room.

188
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: You tell me is a realistic You can think the

189
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: rookie can come in and challenge a Jonathan ward and

190
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: an Eno Benjamin. Yeah, Paully, I do believe that you

191
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: could come in and challenge. Will you actually win the spot?

192
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but it was interesting to

193
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: hear Cliff Kingsbury say that third or fourth spot? Was

194
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: it involved? He did say that it was a third

195
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: or Paul, He wasn't in the second spot. It was

196
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: that third or fourth you know what. I like that?

197
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: But is it a deference to the guys to you

198
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: know and Jonathan Warden? Oh, without a shot all of

199
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: a doubt. Yeah, you know what, Hey, listen, rook You're

200
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to come in and you're gonna have to

201
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: prove it. That's what I love right there. Cliff Kingsbury

202
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: given the rookie a little sugar, given him some acknowledgement,

203
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: and at the same time letting him know, hey man,

204
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: we're talking about third or fourth here. You know. I

205
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: love that. That's great. That's the way it should be.

206
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: Makeam learn it. By the way, it's prove it every day.

207
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Well that's always says, prove it, not one time, but

208
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: every day. Just prove it, Polly. That's all we need

209
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: right there, It implies every day. Episode thirty the Dave

Speaker 1: of The Big Red Rage. But this is going to

216
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: star Lacidas Smith. You're sixth rounder out of Virginia Tech.

217
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: We heard what Quentin Harris said about him, called him

218
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: a steel Pro Football Focus called him quote a steal.

219
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Now you'll hear from the sixth rounder yourself, right, A

220
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: big guy with a nasty attitude. So that's a good start,

221
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: and he is next Lucida Smith on the Big Red

222
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Jaw not selected

223
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: all right, So that was the Cardinals pick live from

224
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: Mexico City, Yes, international. It was being back to Las Vegas, where,

225
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: of course the draft was being conducted after the decision

226
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: was made from the Cardinals war room and phoned in

227
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: from Tempe, which is where we are now, Dignity Health

228
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Training Center, the Arizona Cardinals, and right in front of

229
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: us in person is Licitas Smith, all six foot three,

230
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: fourteen pounds of him, and right off the top. Did

231
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: you ever think your pick would come from the south

232
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: of the border, No, sir, I actually did not think

233
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: it was gonna happen like that. But I'm very glad

234
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: he did. And I'm very glad I'm here, and I'm

235
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: glad they got your name right now. I am pronouncing

236
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: it right correctly. Yeah, so you are, because he is

237
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: a guy whose last name is seven letters, and it

238
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: gets butchered all the time. You know, how often do

239
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: people screw up laciitis all the time? And I'll tell

240
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: you what I get the most anxiety when you know,

241
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I was in grade school and we have a substitute teacher,

242
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: because I know that teacher does not know how to

243
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: pronounce it and likely is gonna say it wrong. And

244
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: then now I got the whole classmaking jokes and stuff.

245
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: So what's the most common mispronunciation over the years. I

246
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: think lositissitis or no lectis. I give that a good

247
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: bit that sounds biblical almost lectis, Like, you know, that's

248
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: so so okay. It's been like, I mean, you've been

249
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL now ever since your name was called right,

250
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: two three weeks, right, what sort of whirlwind has your

251
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: life been like? It's actually been very very cool. Um,

252
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: it's been an eye opening experience. You know, being on

253
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: the outside of the NFL, it just kind of seems like, oh,

254
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: there's this huge uproar within the NFL from fans and

255
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that when a draft comes around, and then

256
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: next thing you know, boom, it's time to play preseason

257
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: games and it's time for the season. But I'm actually

258
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: being a part of it. You get I get to

259
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: see day by day when our professional athletes have to

260
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: go through as far as you know, being in a

261
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: playbook all the time, making sure you're where you're supposed

262
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: to be when you're supposed to be there making sure

263
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: you're doing all the right things, making all the right

264
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: calls and the right checks, you know. So it's actually

265
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: really cool to be um behind the scenes and see

266
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: how everything works. Like I said, glad to be here.

267
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: By the way, take us behind the scenes on draft day.

268
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: What was the phone call like on your end? We

269
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: heard the call in Cardinal's flight plan and you were

270
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: adamant when you were talking to the GM Steve Kime,

271
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: and I'm looking to the quote here you were saying,

272
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I'm one hundred percent and ready. I'm telling

273
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: you I'm ready, quote unquote. So what was it like

274
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: on your end? It was, Actually it was. It was

275
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: very cool once I actually got the call, because trust me,

276
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: once that sixth round came around and I'm sitting back

277
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: and I see some you know, guys going ahead of me,

278
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, I may go undrafted. Like

279
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: I was sitting and I'm like, oh man, how is

280
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: this gonna happen? This is so crazy. But um, at

281
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it did happen, and when

282
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: it did, I was really at shock. Um. I did

283
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: not think it was gonna be Arizona like I said,

284
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm very glad it was. I'm happy to be here

285
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: and being coached by coach Coogler, you know some of

286
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: those other coaches, even the special teams coaches. But like

287
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I said, I'm glad it happened. I'm glad it happened here.

288
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. It was definitely shocked. It was shocked.

289
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: Our guests, Lucida Smith, Cardinal's sixth round pick of Virginia Tech.

290
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: What are you most curious to find out about the NFL.

291
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually curious about what it's like when camp comes

292
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: around and now you actually get on the field with

293
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: the big dogs. Because we've had Ricky Mine Camp, which

294
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: is a three day camp for US younger guys. The

295
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: older guys weren't even in town, and now we have

296
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: some of the older guys, but the OG veterans aren't

297
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: even here yet. So you still have guys like Beecham

298
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: and and Kyler Murray and just guys you know who

299
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: you know still aren't here yet who I have yet

300
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: to meet. So when when those guys get into town,

301
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: I know it's it's on. Take me to Cardinals training camp.

302
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: Have you had the thought there's gonna be an old

303
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: line D line drill, full pads, full contact, and there's

304
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: a chance that i could line up in a three

305
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: point stance and I'm staring straight across at ninety nine

306
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: J J. Watt. That's gonna be a welcome to the

307
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: NFL moment, won't it? Yes? I think it will be.

308
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm anna pray that it won't. I'm an pray that

309
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't teach me a lesson right there

310
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: and you know, right after that point. But um, I'm

311
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna definitely try to hold my own. I mean, the

312
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: guy is definitely a legend, undoubted Leah Hall of Famer,

313
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: So I mean, I hope he can teach me a

314
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: thing and two from that rep or those reps I'll

315
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: take against him. But it's definitely like I'm gonna be

316
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: staying across looking like, oh my god, I'm about to

317
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: take a rep from JJ Wise. It's gonna be crazy, hey, J. Look.

318
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: DJ Humphreys has been there many times going against Chandler Jones,

319
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: the Cardinals starting left tackle, and he's told us in

320
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: this very show how much better Chandler Jones made him

321
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: as a young guy, and he knew if he could

322
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: hold his own against Chandler Jones. He was ready to

323
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: go for the regular season. He was ready to go

324
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: for the rest of the schedule. And look, I'm not

325
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: saying you're not capable. I mean there's been a lot

326
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: of praise when it comes to you in your career

327
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: at Virginia Tech. In fact, the VP of Player Personnel,

328
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: Quentin Harris, was on the Passpod recently and he was asked,

329
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: okay by Dave, you know, give us a guy from

330
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: day two or day three in this Cardinal's draft class

331
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: that stands out to you. I really like Lucida Smith,

332
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: our guard we took out of Virginia Tech. This guy

333
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: is athletic, he's an excellent pooler. He's tough, he's physical,

334
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: and a lot of times, you know, you watch NFL

335
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: lineman and you're like, ah, he's tough, he's strong, but

336
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: he's slow footed. This guy is everything. He was a

337
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: still in my opinion for us. He went on to

338
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: say that he also likes your temperament. And when I

339
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: looked at one of the Scotter reports on you, I

340
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: think it was NFL dot Com. One of the things

341
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: they listed first, what's plays with an attitude? True or false?

342
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: Very true, very true. And what does that mean? Translate that?

343
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: The way I think about it is, you know, once

344
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: it's time to step in between those white lines, and

345
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm biting down on my mouthpiece and I'm

346
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: ready to go. Where this a run play? Hopefully it's

347
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: a run play. You know, offensive lineman love run plays.

348
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's a run play. And like I said, I'm

349
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: ready to go. Whether it's a double team or I'm

350
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: working alone against a three technique or whatever it may be,

351
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: it'll be me against that other guy and me trying

352
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: to finish him, and not only to do my job,

353
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: but do it very well to the point where I

354
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: finish him. He can't affect to play whatsoever. That's just

355
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: kind of the mentality I have at the end of

356
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: the day. Just make sure my man does not affect

357
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: the play. And I think that if every you know,

358
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: all five guys up front had that mentality, we can

359
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: definitely run for a lot of yards, which I mean

360
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals do that every year anyway, so I won't

361
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: be nothing new for them. And if you finish that play,

362
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: are you vocal about it or your trash talker? You

363
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: know what? Surprisingly, No, some people may think I am,

364
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: especially with the nastiness I play with. But no, and

365
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: that's for two reasons. For one, I'm not a very

366
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: good trash talker. For two, it usually backfires. So I

367
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: don't want to, you know, get to mouthing off at

368
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: a guy and that he makes a play and I'm like,

369
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: dake it. I should have never said what I just said,

370
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: Like you know. So those are really the two reasons

371
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: that I don't. You know, I may get really I

372
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: guess into it or filled with a journalist where I

373
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: finish a guy and I get up and I'm just

374
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: I'm grunting, I'm feeling it. But nine times out of

375
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: and I don't really go off at a guy. I

376
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: don't get to mount an at a guy. We're on

377
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: board with Lucida Smith Cardinals, rookie old lineman out of

378
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. All right, So this is what I find

379
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: interesting is that Steve Kim talked about how powerful you

380
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: are as a run blocker, said you're a great pulling

381
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: guard plane in space as well. We'll get to that

382
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: in a moment. But in the same sky report a

383
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com it said that you're better in pass

384
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: protection than as a run blocker. But when you were

385
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: asked for your strength with the media, you said, I

386
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: pack a punch in the run game, and I come

387
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: off the ball with a lot of power. So were

388
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: there skyter reports out there that you sort of shook

389
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: your head at during the process? They wait, a minute,

390
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: where are they getting this? Or do you feel like

391
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: you have to dispel anything that was out there pre draft? Yes, sir,

392
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: crazy enough. I did see at one point that are

393
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: heard at one point that some teams are concerned with

394
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: my weight, that I may have a weight problem. I

395
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: never had a weight problem. Ever, as a former tight end,

396
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: I find that surprising that you'd have a weight problem

397
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: exactly you play at three fourteen or so. Yes, okay,

398
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know where they get that from. What's

399
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: funny is even going into my last season at Virginia Tech,

400
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: my fifth year of Virginia Tech, I've seen a lot

401
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: of articles that stated that I was pretty good in

402
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: the run game, but talking about my lack of I

403
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: guess ability in the passing game. So that was something

404
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: I focused on that last season at Virginia Tech, and

405
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: that's why I think coming out there were a few

406
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: teams that touched on or just a few reports that

407
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: touched on the fact that, you know, I looked pretty

408
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: good in the passing game. That was something I really

409
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: wanted to get better at, so people didn't think I

410
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: was a guy. I was just gonna be really good

411
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: in the run scheme and a problem in the passing game.

412
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: How much weight did you have to gain to go

413
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: from tight end to old line? I think I put

414
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: on about fifty five to sixty pounds because I was

415
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty pounds and I ended up at

416
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: three fifteen. How would you do that? You know, when

417
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: I first got the Virginia Tech. When I first got

418
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: there was a tight end. They kind of gave me

419
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: that option to you know, they tried me out a

420
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: tight end and they were going to see how it

421
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: worked out. So I was on a treadmill every day

422
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: even after workout, was getting extra runs, and just you know,

423
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: when we go to the Dinah Hall and I'm going

424
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: with you know, my class, the class that I came

425
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: in with some of the guys. We go there and

426
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm eating a salad. Everybody else has chicken and other things,

427
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: and I'm eating the salad. So when that switch actually happened.

428
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: I was pretty happy about it. I embraced it, so

429
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, I was able to sit at the table

430
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: with the offensive line and with the big dogs and

431
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: eat steak and shrimp and the whole nine, and you know,

432
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: didn't have to feel bad about it. I was able

433
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: to get that weight up it. It wasn't very hard

434
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, it sounds like you enjoyed it, sir,

435
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: Well Ceter Smith, our guest Cardinals rookie offensive lineman, you

436
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: still have the hands, by the way, as a former

437
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: tight end, I mean, could you be like a goal

438
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: line option and sort of a you know, a jumbo

439
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: package without a doubt, without the simeon any route I'm

440
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: routing anybody up. The hands are still there. See that's

441
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: how your team up with jj wat because he was

442
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: part of the mega Watt package last year and a

443
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: goal ie deal. And you think he has three touchdown

444
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: catches in his career. So the two of you might

445
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: be a good combo this year. Let's see this on

446
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: how about off the field? Give us a Scott report

447
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: because speaking of eating, uh, your rumored to have a

448
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: YouTube cooking show. Yes, sir, I do. Me and my

449
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: girlfriend heaven m so we actually started the channel during COVID.

450
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: We were stuck in the house like everybody was, didn't

451
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: have much to do, couldn't really get out like we

452
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: want to m So after, you know, I wake up

453
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: every morning, of course I get my workout there. We'd

454
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: probably do some cardio, going to hike us something, and

455
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: then after that we're just back at the house. So, um,

456
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, she kind of came up with the idea,

457
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: what if we start a YouTube channel, So it kind

458
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: of started off with funny just a little funny VIDs

459
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But yes, I do love to cook. Um.

460
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: I believe we did upload a cooking video on there.

461
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: She actually wanted to do one before I left to

462
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: come here because she's back in Blacksburg, but we didn't

463
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: get around of that, but we will soon. Do you

464
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: have a specialty because the Old Line has an annual

465
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: cook off led by the head coach or the Old

466
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Line coach Sean Coogler, right, and and he fashions himself

467
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: as a foodie and also the owner, Michael Bidwell has

468
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: been caused come in as a judge. And I think

469
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: DJ Humphreys is a reigning champion. By the way, the

470
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: left tackle. But if you were to give him a run,

471
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: what dish would you prepare? Um, I think I have

472
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good recipe for pork chops, so I'd definitely

473
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: do pork chops with a side of with a side

474
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: of white rice. I may go with either baked broccoli

475
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: or baked asparagus, one of the two. But it's really

476
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: really good, by the way, as you might guess, I've

477
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: never played offensive line over here. Okay, Paul Pencilnick, Okay,

478
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: So what is the best thing and the worst thing

479
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: about being a big guy? All you guys in the

480
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: old line room, right, and you're in the ninety nine

481
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: percentile all the world in terms of size. What's something

482
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: that's really good about being big? And what is something

483
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: that just stinks about being a big guy? Am I

484
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: putting you on the spot with that question, Lasidas, No,

485
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: not exactly. But something ain't good about being a big

486
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: guy is especially playing football. I mean, you're usually rolling

487
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: guys off the ball. You're a guy that went it's

488
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: time to lift. You don't have to go on the

489
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: rack with the smaller guys and the scale guys, and

490
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, do the little weights. You get to lift

491
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: with the big guys or the big dogs. Um, something

492
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: that sucks plane travel like a coach ticket. That's got

493
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: to be a travel Oh my goodness, that's a great one.

494
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking that. That's the really outside the

495
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: box one that's see. For me, every seat is a

496
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: first class seat. That's great, you know, because I had

497
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: plenty of room. But a guy like you, that man,

498
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: that's gotta be misery, right, yes, sir, it is all right.

499
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: So last thing for Lucida Smith here is wrap it

500
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: up on the big red rage. You heard the words steel.

501
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: That was Quinn Harris. Pro Football Focus had you as

502
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: the eighth best interior old lineman in the entire draft.

503
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: They called you, quote a steel for Arizona. Do you

504
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: feel like you're a steel for this team? I mean,

505
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: that's something I never really thought about. Um, I do

506
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: feel like pretty good at what I do. But at

507
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: the same time, it's kind of weird to say, only

508
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: because all I've done was at the college level, So

509
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm good at what I did at

510
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: the college levels. All I'm trying to say having made

511
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: my mark, having did a thing in the NFL. So

512
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't sit up here and say, oh, I'm this

513
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: and that guard or you know, interior office of lineman

514
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I'm this and that. Good I

515
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: can't speak on that. What I can't say is I'll

516
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: go out here every single day with my guys or

517
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: my teammates, gained their trust and give them all every

518
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: single practice and strive to be the best player I

519
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: can be. So as far as it steal some I

520
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: never really thought about, but at the end of the day,

521
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: I do want to be the very best I can be.

522
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: It's a great answer. We appreciated everything here. Thank you,

523
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: and good luck going forward here. Thank you very much. Okay,

524
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: there you go. Lucida Smith will come back and continue

525
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: with a big red rage presented by Santan four and Gilbert.

526
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: Give him to Henry. Hitting the backfield by J. J.

527
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: Watt who got off a block and drags it down.

528
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: Knocked down and complete. It's j J Watt got his

529
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: hands up, he bumbles them all. It's Lows on the

530
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: far side another takeaway. J J. Watt force the fumble

531
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: leveled in the backfield by JJ Watt. J J. Watt

532
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: gets the penetration white at the point of attack. Hitting

533
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: the backfield and down he goes for a loss. Jj

534
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: Watts snailed him in the eighteen yard line. Mitchell running

535
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: straight ahead gets dropped for a loss. Jj Watt in

536
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: the backfield with the takedown penetration on the backside. That

537
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: is jj Watt baby tip then complete. It was Tim

538
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: and it was jj Watt who got it and the

539
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals stopped him on forchdown again. When healthy, jj Watt

540
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: was a playmaker. He was a difference maker over the

541
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: first half of last season for the Arizona Cardinals, and

542
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: not only on the field but on the sideline as well.

543
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. It is a big

544
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: red rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert will get

545
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: to jj Wat some of his comments to day pass

546
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: on the Pash podcast. But we brought up jj Watt

547
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: with Lucida Smith Wolf, the six round rookie offensive lineman.

548
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, that's gonna be a welcome to the

549
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: NFL moment if he has to square off against ninety

550
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: nine and no line D line drill in training camp.

551
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: But what I'll struck you about the interview with Lucidas, Boy, Polly,

552
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: that is a great question because honestly, you know, I

553
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: think he's a square dude. And when I say a

554
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: square dude, I mean literally square, and I also think

555
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: he's squared away. He is a square dude. Ball six three,

556
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: three hundred fourteen pounds. Man, you look at him, his shoulders,

557
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: his hips, his but everything lines up where he is

558
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: a square guy. But also, Polly, I have to tell you, man,

559
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: the articulation, how articulate he was. Intelligent? Yeah, confident man.

560
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Polly. He sounds like one of

561
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: those classic offensive line But his temperament is something that

562
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: really is something that is very intriguing as well, because

563
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: I want to see him brawl. And when I say braul,

564
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't mean get into a fight. I mean go

565
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: out there and try to forcibly remove somebody from the

566
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, because according to Lucidis, that's what he

567
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: does and that's who he is. In fact, his answer,

568
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: I said, you know these scatter reports say you play

569
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: with an attitude, true or false? He said, true, very true,

570
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: very true. If you know, if you go on YouTube

571
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: and you look for some of the micd up Virginia

572
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: tech stuff, you'll get a sense of just how intense

573
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: he is as articulate and thoughtful as he was in

574
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: that interview. Man, he does flip a switch between the

575
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: white lines. And what I loved about that, Pauli was

576
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: just the fact he said he wasn't a good trash talker.

577
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: He wasn't good, so he doesn't do it. You know that, Man,

578
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: that is an offensive alignment. For the most part, that

579
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: is a wise thing to do. You can have that temperament,

580
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: just don't open your mouth. There's nothing wrong with wanting

581
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: to drive somebody into the ground and lay on top

582
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: of him and slime block him after the play is over.

583
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with doing that. Just don't anger your opponent,

584
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: don't trash talk him. A lot of offensive lineman, I'm

585
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: telling you, paul I would say maybe ten percent, ten

586
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: percent of the offensive linemen I've played with in ten

587
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: years were trash talkers. The vast majority they stay silent. Well, look,

588
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: he's also smart enough to know that as a rookie,

589
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: you don't know what you don't know. So he wasn't

590
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: making any proclamations. In fact, he said it. He said

591
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: he'll know it's it's on when the big dogs come

592
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: into camp, when the veterans, when the JJ Watts the

593
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: Kelvin Beach Hims, the DJ Humphreys, when those guys show up.

594
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: Although he did say went about his hands, he said,

595
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: I still have the hands as a former tight end.

596
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: So that was the only post we really got out

597
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: of him was on the hands. So I thought that

598
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: was great too. Probably that's funny, but anyway, speaking to J. J. Watt,

599
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: you want great, just queue up the Day Pash podcast.

600
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: Take a listen, and you talk about young guys, the

601
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: last two first round picks for the Eros on our Cardinals,

602
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons, Zaven Collins. We know how key and central

603
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: they are to the Cardinals defense and the Cardinal's success

604
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: overall this year. And JJ Watt was asked, just okay,

605
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: how can they excel? I think it's all about time

606
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: you put in, and I think it's about repetition and

607
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: just consistency. I think that the more time that you're

608
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: able to commit to the job and that you're able

609
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: to learn and grow, and the more time that you

610
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: have to learn the playbook and the plays and see

611
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: as many looks as possible, whether it's walk throughs, whether

612
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: it's practice, whether it's offseason program, training camp, whatever it

613
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: may be, and being able to do those things over

614
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: and over and over again, that's when you really get good.

615
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: I think that having an off season program is going

616
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: to help them a lot, because we haven't had one

617
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: true offseason program for a few years, especially since they've

618
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: been in the league. It is a legitimate question, though,

619
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: isn't it Well, especially as Collins is concerned, is that

620
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: mic linebacker replacing Jordan Hicks. Yeah. No, it's a huge,

621
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: huge issue. I would say going into training camp, one

622
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: of the things that we're going to be watching very

623
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: very closely the development of Zaven Collins. But you heard

624
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: JJ Watt right at the M PAULI he's exactly on

625
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: top of this thing. It's not a surprise because having

626
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: an off season where you've got Isaiah Simmons now who

627
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: can actually get out on the field and go through

628
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: his reps and get his reps and go through the

629
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: playbook and totally continue to grow in Zaven Collins, in

630
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: particular as a MIC linebacker, a guy that is probably

631
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: going to be wearing the green dot. I would imagine

632
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: this to me is imperative. This offseason is just as

633
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: important as the season Zaven Collins just went through for

634
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: his development. And then there's Kyler Murray, and of course

635
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: JJ Watt was asked about the development of the Cardinals

636
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: franchise orderback and how he takes the next step. Here's

637
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: j J. Watt with Dave Pash. He's done it, He's

638
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: played at extremely high level. I think it's just obviously

639
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: we need to finish out of season better. I think

640
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: that's not just him, and that's on all of us.

641
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: I think that it's being able to take us to

642
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: where we need to go from a playoff standpoint and

643
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: to go win a super Bowl. And every year in

644
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: the league, you get better, you mature, you have you

645
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: learn the game, you played differently a year to year

646
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: because you have more knowledge base, you have more experience,

647
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: you're a year mature and wiser. So I'm looking forward

648
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: to seeing his progress and looking forward to seeing the

649
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: step that he takes this season. That's what I want

650
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: to continue to see from Kyler Murray. Polly. I don't

651
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: know about you, but I think we'd all agree that

652
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: his rookie year to his second year, he got better.

653
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: Ye have no doubt. His second year to his third

654
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: year he got better. Yeah, I want to see him continue.

655
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about a guy that has been

656
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: to two Pro Bowls. But I still believe he can

657
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: be better. He's not a finished product. He's nowhere near it.

658
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: He can be better with the intangibles. He can get

659
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: better as a leader, he can get better in terms

660
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: of preparing to go out and play a game, even

661
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: though he's got this wild talent, this incredible talent. The

662
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: most improvement right now for Kyler Murray comes in between

663
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: the years. You know on Cardinals Underground the podcast this week,

664
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: well if I throw out a comparison, I said, you

665
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: know what the Cincinnati Bengals culture was in making a

666
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl run? It was Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow was

667
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: the culture. And to me, that's the next step for Kyler. Now,

668
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: it's a tall task, but if you're going to be

669
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: a forty million dollars a year quarterback, guess what it's

670
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: uni your job description. Yeah, you have to be the culture,

671
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: the guy who leads all the other guys who are

672
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: not the franchise quarterback and that and you know what,

673
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: you might be missing your marquee wide receiver in DeAndre

674
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: Hockkmins like you were the last half of last season,

675
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: and like you're going to miss him for the first

676
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: six games of this season, and you're gonna have to

677
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: figure that out, because you know what, the Aaron Rodgers

678
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: of the world, they make no name receivers into playmakers

679
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: and that's how you win games. And so Cliff Kingsbury

680
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: for the first time when it comes to DeAndre Hopkins

681
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: meeting the media after the draft and after the rookie minicamp,

682
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: and he was asked, Okay, your plans on offense dealing

683
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: with d hop and his suspension, Marquis will help. I mean,

684
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: he's a dynamic playmaker and we just had to play

685
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: better as an offense. It's unfortunate that he won't be available,

686
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: but I'm excited when we get him back. We struggled

687
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, and you know, when

688
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: we get him back, I think that'll be a real

689
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: shot in the arm for that back half and I

690
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: know we'll get his best. How scared are you? Simply put,

691
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: the last we saw the Cardinals offense minus d hop

692
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot to write home about. It was

693
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: a much different offense. What's your expectation the first six

694
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: games of this season? Yeah, you know what, paul I

695
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: should be scared. I should, but I'm not. I'm not.

696
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: In the reason being is because I believe there's going

697
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: to be a paradigm shift once again undown situation. I

698
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be more two tight ends. I don't

699
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be Listen, if the Cardinals suddenly start

700
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: trying to run more wide receivers onto the field after

701
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: losing their best wide receiver, I think you've got an issue.

702
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: But if they go ahead, Paulie and start running out

703
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,280
Speaker 1: some two tight ends, a little bit more two tight

704
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: ends in rundown situation which is first and ten, second

705
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: and one to six, I really think this is going

706
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: to help them develop their base offense so that when

707
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: you get d hop coming back, he can just go

708
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: ahead and improve it, and you'll get him back there

709
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: in week seven. You'll get him on a short week

710
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football against the Saints, So he's not even

711
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: gonna have a real practice man to go through. Although

712
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: if there's any player in NFL history who can excel

713
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: without practice, it's got to be DeAndre Hopkins, right, so

714
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: go the end. Look, maybe we'll find out during training

715
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: camp because he's eligible all the way through the month

716
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: August and the preseason, we'll figure out what plan he has.

717
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: If you remember, Patrick Peterson would simulate game days. Every

718
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: Sunday those first six that he missed, he'd go out

719
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: and do his own three hour workout and simulate a

720
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: game day. So we'll see. And speaking of game days,

721
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,239

Speaker 1: And there was announcement today regarding the Cardinals schedule. All

726
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: that and more. Next The Big Red Rage presented by

727
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:43,479
Speaker 1: satan Ford and Gilbert. We are Santanford. Here's a little

728
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: story about Patrick Mahomes. I did his first game that

729
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: he started. We do that production mean, I'm talking to

730
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and he says, the thing that surprised me

731
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: the most is that Patrick Mahomes has a photographic memory,

732
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: Like I can tell him something, you know, in training

733
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: camp week one, and he'll remember it in week fifteen,

734
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: you know. And when you combine his athletic ability, his

735
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: ability to throw the ball, how pretty that ball is,

736
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: his ability to escape and throw at different angles. And

737
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: then you combine that with this mind that can have

738
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: this recall like a Tom Brady. Now you know why

739
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: he can be so good, and you think about the

740
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: future and what he could do. That was two years ago.

741
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: That's Jay Feeley, former Cardinals kicker now CBS Network analyst

742
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: on Patrick Mahomes in his conversation with Andy Reid, reminds

743
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: you Andrew luck who supposedly that Stamford big brain had

744
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: photographic memory as well. And that is app that little

745
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: clip right there, Ron Wolfley. As we continue and wrap

746
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: up this edition to the Big Red Rage brought to

747
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: you by santan Ford and Gilbert because the Earlson our

748
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals open with Patrick Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs.

749
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: In fact, let's just get right to a cliff. Kingsbarrow

750
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: was asked about Week one against his former Texas Tech quarterback. Yeah,

751
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: I was really thankful to the schedule makers for given

752
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: us a young quarterback that hadn't quite found his way

753
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: in the league just yet, you know, still trying to

754
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: figure it out. So no, it's it'll be fun. He

755
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: sent me like the little Imoji before it even came out,

756
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: so he'll be rebbed up. Will definitely have some Texas

757
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Tech fans tune into that one. I'm sure. Yeah, that

758
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: former you know that Patrick Mahomes guy, former Super Bowl champion,

759
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: former MVP. You know the team that's hosted the last

760
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: four AFC Championship games, those Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, you

761
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: know what, PAULI is going to be really interesting though,

762
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: If in fact, I had my brothers, if you told me, Okay,

763
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna play the Kansas City Chiefs, well, when would

764
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: you like to play the Kansas City Chiefs? I'd say

765
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: week one of the NFL season, really, week one, yes, indeed, Paul.

766
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: And the reason being is, especially when you're dealing with

767
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: an offense that is going to be trying to find

768
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: itself without Tyreek Hill, I will say week one, please,

769
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: because I really do believe without Tyreek Hill they're gonna

770
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: have to find a different way to play football offensively.

771
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: Even with Patrick Mahomes, I think Tyreek Hill is one

772
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: of these rare, rare individuals Paulli that impacts the defense

773
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: on every play that he's in the game, every play,

774
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: even when he doesn't have the ball. That's a big deal.

775
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: And you've got to learn how to play differently without

776
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. I'm not going to disagree with that. A

777
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: few years ago, when the Cardinals went to Kansas City,

778
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: every time Tyreek Hill would go in motion, the entire defense,

779
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: the front seven and beyond would lose their mind. Everyone

780
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: would start pointing at him. Okay, and everything would change accordingly.

781
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right on that. My hesitation or apprehension is

782
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals offense will be trying to find itself

783
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: minus d hop in Week one, So it's a daunting challenge.

784
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: That's a possibility, Paully. But go back and start looking

785
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years at some of the

786
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: upsets that happen in Week one of the NFL season.

787
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: Why is that? I think, listen, if you're gonna jump

788
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: up a team, if you're gonna surprise a team, that's

789
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: the best time to actually do it. And you know what,

790
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: that's a great point because maybe the best example was

791
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Week one jack stomping at Tennessee last year.

792
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: There it is, Poli Hamedy. People gave the Arizona Cardinals

793
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: a chance of going in and beating the Tennessee Titans. Yeah,

794
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: that's the good news. The bad news is you open

795
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: with Kansas City, then you go to the playoff Raiders,

796
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: who now have Davante Adams and Chandler Jones, and then

797
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: you have the Super Bowl champion Rams at home. Those

798
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: are your first three games. And remember the recent historic

799
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: stat the teams that start oh and two make the

800
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: playoffs less than ten percent of the time. Can you

801
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: feel that body? Huh? Now? Right now? As as for

802
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: prime time, the Cardinals have four four games in prime

803
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: time and you know three of them are at home.

804
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: The fourth one is technically a home game. It's in

805
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: Mexico City against the forty nine ers. Cliff Kingsbury asked

806
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: about the prime time slate, It's awesome. I mean, you

807
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: can't ask for to me a better set up when

808
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: you look at some of those games. First one, get

809
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: a team like the Chiefs to see where you're at,

810
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: play Bill Bellijack on Monday night, play Tom Radio. And Christmas.

811
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some some big time games to go

812
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: to Mexico City, play Arrival. I mean it's gonna be

813
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And AFC West, you know, lining

814
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: up with them this year with getting wrestle is a challenge,

815
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: but anytime you look at a NFL schedule, it's it's

816
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: not like you can go down and take up a

817
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: bunch of wins. You know, they're all tough and everybody's

818
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: facing kind of the same deal. See. And the good

819
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: news to me, Wolf is those are all home games

820
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: except Mexico City, and so you don't have the dreaded

821
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: You play at night and then you get home in

822
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, and then it checks up

823
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: the next week's schedule those games, especially that Thursday night

824
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: game at home. That's something JJ Watts cited. Yeah. No,

825
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: I think it's really really cool the way that it

826
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: sets up for the Arizona Cardinals. Now again, you know,

827
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: and I don't care how many nationally televised games they play.

828
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: I really don't. It doesn't impact us, I don't think

829
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. But I love the

830
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: fact that Week seven they have that mini bye against

831
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: New Orleans on Thursday night and they're doing it at home.

832
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: That's a big deal to have that mini bye after

833
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: the first third of the season, roughly third of the season,

834
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: and then two thirds of this season through at least

835
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: you get the bye week at week thirteen. That to me,

836
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: Paulie that's another good break right there. Listen, if the

837
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals are good, you're gonna love the fact they have

838
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: the bye that late in the season. If they're good,

839
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: and that's the hope, they're gonna be good because hopefully

840
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: that'll give them a little boost getting ready to make

841
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: that playoff run. By the way, the Saints at home

842
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, that's the first primetime game the game

843
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: you said it there. How are the Saints signing anybody?

844
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: Didn't We start this off season with the Saints being

845
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: seventy million plus over the cap, and all of a

846
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: sudden they're signing Tyron Matthew to big money, Jarvis Landry

847
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: to big money. I just you know, Sean Payton, I

848
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: thought left because they were in cap hell, and all

849
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Saints are making it happen. So

850
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the NFL should investigate, but somebody's cooking

851
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: the books down there, the big easy. Yeah. Not only that, Paul,

852
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean they haven't made all their cuts yet either,

853
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: So hold on to that because I'm sure there's going

854
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: to be some type of justification coming to that roster.

855
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,560
