Speaker 6: Next Thursday.

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: The two words we figure will be NFL football, NFL

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: opener maybe and then all ball from there. Oh boy,

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 4: here we are one week out, and remember we are

Speaker 4: presented by Santane Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford,

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 4: Paul calvic here, Ron Wolfley.

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 6: There, good evening, wolf What's going on, Paulie? A lot?

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: Thanks for asking, Oh boy, I mean a lot happening

29
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: in real time. This roster is evolving. I mean almost

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: nearly as we speak. We had another waiver claim this afternoon,

31
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: did we not. We had guys going to the injured reserve.

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: I mean this is going to be, I believe, a

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: season long exercise slash excursion. This roster is going to

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 4: be churned at every opportunity, true or false, Ron Wolfling.

35
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it, Pully, I would agree with

36
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: that assessment right now. You know, it was interesting because

37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: I know we're going to play little Jonathan Gannon here,

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: a little JG in some of the cuts. Just listening

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: to him earlier in the day, you know, it made

40
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: me think of how exhausted this must be for a

41
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: guy who was going through his first, his first cutdown

42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: day as the head coach of an NFL team. And Paully,

43
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, although not every head

44
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: coach gets to say goodbye to a player. Most of

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: them want to get to say goodbye to a player.

46
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: And this is kind of like the third wave right

47
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: now for JG. When you think about it, it was

48
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: the cutdown of the original fifty three PAULI. Then of

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: course it was the waiver wire, and we all know that, Hey,

50
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: just because you know what the Cardinals said, you're on

51
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: the fifty three. If they go out and they claim

52
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: a player or off the waiver wire, they also have

53
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: to let somebody go. So it was like the second wave.

54
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: And then there's going to be I think in the

55
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: coming days free agent signings where they're still going to

56
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: have to cut down people. I think he's done with

57
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: a cutdown process.

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: No allegiances, we've gone with those two words the entire offseason.

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick has no days off, no allegiances. But it

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: doesn't mean you have no affinity. To your point, you

61
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: get to know these guys. So that initial wave thirty

62
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: one players.

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 6: You let go.

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: I'm not sure there were a ton of surprises in there,

65
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: you know, maybe just maybe a Davon Davis or a

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: Kadan Davis had a chance, or a Noah Tongii, a

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: Kyle Soley. You know there were names we're all familiar

68
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: with in that initial wave. They still haven't put a

69
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: long snapper on the official fifty three, so that's always curious.

70
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: David Blow, who has since gone back to Detroit, So

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: there's that out there. And then there was the next wave,

72
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, because they went after waiver claims and

73
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: then they had to cut danly Arius, the undrafted rookie

74
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: receiving Marquise Hayes, who reportedly is back on the practice

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 4: squad as we speak, Javonte Moffat the safety, Ben Stilly,

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: the d lineman, Blake Whiteheart, who we both know they

77
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: like yes a lot, and we figure is gonna end

78
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: up back on the practice squad. But to your point,

79
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: here's Jonathan Gannon talking to the media and just talking

80
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: about the ever evolving fifty three man roster.

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 7: The rosters in flux all the time, you know what

82
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 7: I mean, And that goes back to we're going to

83
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 7: try to do what's best we can for the team. Always,

84
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 7: pieces gets shuffled around, pieces move who's up on game day,

85
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 7: and it's not just the fifty three, it's the practice squad.

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 7: It's how many guys are going to get a Jersey

87
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 7: on Washington, the roles that they serve, there's a lot

88
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 7: of things that go into that, and our guys.

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 6: Know that, no doubt.

90
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: And then today you had an offensive lineman claimed by

91
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: the Cardinals, Carter O'Donnell from Indianapol. Yes, last three years,

92
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: he's been up and down between the active roster and

93
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: the practice squad. He's yet to play in a game.

94
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 4: And then along with that, you had a couple of

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: moves to the injured reserve my j Sanders with a hand,

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: Dennis Daily with the ankle. So they're eligible to come

97
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 4: back this year, but they must missed at least the

98
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: first four games.

99
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: PAULI, I think I want to go back to the

100
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: original fifty three, if that's okay with you right now.

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of moving parts going on,

102
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: but I thought it was interesting because they only they

103
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: had fifty two on the roster, right, and that I

104
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: found very interesting because they kept twenty three offensively and

105
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven defensively in two the punter and the kicker,

106
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: of course, two on special teams. And they cut their

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: deep snapper we all know that, of course, and Aaron

108
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: Brewer they let him go, and of course they're going

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: to sign him back, and I think they have already

110
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, and he's going to be activated,

111
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure come game time. It's interesting that twenty three

112
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: on the offense and twenty seven on the defense. I

113
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: was really shocked by that inequity.

114
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, what does that tell you? Does that tell you

115
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 4: they're trying to throw numbers at some of those question marks,

116
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: some of those position groups on defense that are still unanswered, right,

117
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: I mean, whether it's that backup safety or the cornerback position,

118
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: whether Marco Wilson is available at Dennis Gardek was out

119
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 4: on the field this week. But what exactly are you

120
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: looking at it? Outside linebacker defensive line. You know, they're

121
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: trying to throw bodies at that solution, but what's that

122
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 4: rotation ultimately going to be. I don't know what sort

123
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 4: of conclusion can you draw from that, if any.

124
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, once again, I think to your point,

125
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: that's what it had to be. But typically a lot

126
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: of teams are not in the practice of saying, hey, listen,

127
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: we don't have a ton of edge players, so let's

128
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: keep a ton of edge players. Either they're going to

129
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: be good enough to actually play at this level or

130
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to be good enough. I thought it

131
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: was really really an interesting tactic. And at Paully to

132
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: your point, you know, Manti assen Fort and JG they've

133
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: got a reason why they did what they did. They

134
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: kept seven defensive linemen. Now think about that, seven defensive

135
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: linemen on the act of fifty three, and we didn't

136
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: think defensive line was a very deep position for them.

137
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: And they kept seven edge players as well, And we

138
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: don't look at the edge and think the Cardinals are

139
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: loaded on the edge right there, fourteen players they kept,

140
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: even the inside linebacker. And I can understand this a

141
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: lot because of the special teams element that comes into play,

142
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: but five inside linebackers were kept as well. I just

143
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: was very surprised to see more defensive players, considerably more

144
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: than offense.

145
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought that up because I had this

146
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: out with Darren Urban during Cardinals Underground the podcast. Well,

147
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: Combat Vy san Calvic, but wait a minute, it's a

148
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 4: three to four. Why are you surprised there's seven outside linebackers?

149
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: And my rime response was, well, I sort of view

150
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: to Jesse Luketta and Victor d. Mukage as the same player.

151
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 6: It's either or.

152
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: I sort of looked at an Owen Papo and Ezekiel

153
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: Turner as either or. But I know these guys are

154
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 4: instrumental on special teams.

155
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 6: I get it.

156
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: You know there's a Chris Barnes in that inside linebacker

157
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: room as well.

158
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 6: So sure we'll see.

159
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: And they're continuing to add players and then players are

160
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: continually cut. I get it, but we're burying the lead here.

161
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: The big move, obviously that got national attention was the

162
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: release of Colt McCoy and the trade for Josh Dobbs.

163
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: And we were on the air this time last week

164
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 4: when it all came down. They gave up a fifth

165
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: round pick to Cleveland. They brought in Josh Dobbs, who

166
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 4: has familiarity both with the offensive coordinator Drew Petsen, who

167
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: was a quarterbacks coach the last couple of years in Cleveland,

168
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: Israel Wolfork, the current quarterbacks coach, and then of course

169
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: the GM Monijasin Ford, who signed Josh Dobbs in Tennessee

170
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 4: to start the last two games of last season. So

171
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: just your takeaway on that acquisition.

172
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paulie, you know, once again I thought that Colt

173
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: McCoy was going to be the starting quarterback going into

174
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: week one, largely because of who he is as a leader,

175
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: how long he's been in the league, the fact that

176
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: he's one of the better minds, of course in the

177
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: National Football League in regard to seeing every defense known

178
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: to man and maybe executing every offense known to man

179
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: as well. I thought it was going to be his

180
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: experience largely that would take him into week number one

181
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: as the starter. That is not the case. And I

182
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: think you are very familiar as to why. I know

183
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: you have your own take on this and your own

184
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: beliefs on this, and I think you're right on it, PAULI.

185
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: But now that that is the case, and we know

186
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: that Colt McCoy has been released, bringing in Josh Dobbs,

187
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: I thought was very very interesting. This is a guy

188
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: that is a rocket scientist. Of course we all know that.

189
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, anytime you hear a code say

190
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: it's not rocket science, guess what he means it when

191
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: he's talking to Josh Dobbs, No doubt about it. So

192
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, once again, it's going to be interesting to

193
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: see how this quarterback battle shakes out going forward. I

194
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: don't think it's a faith to compleae. I don't think

195
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: it's a done deal that Josh Dobbs is going to

196
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: be the starter going into week one. But once again,

197
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: I thought Colt McCoy was going to be the starter.

198
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: And yeah, Josh Doabbs has a degree in aerospace engineering

199
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 4: from Tennessee and he's done internships with NASA through the

200
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: NFL Players Association. So big brain, big big brain on

201
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs has no doubt about it. In fact, speaking

202
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: of who is QB one, I firmly believe it's his

203
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 4: job to lose. When Dobbs was asked about that, he

204
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: simply said, you know what, I put those expectations on myself.

205
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 8: Every time myself in the building, I put starting expectations

206
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 8: on myself. So I know the QB situation is going

207
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 8: to play out however the coaches see fit. But for me,

208
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 8: you not come in ready to compete every single day.

209
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 6: I push myself.

210
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 8: But also, you know, approached the room in that way,

211
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 8: and so I'm excited to be a part of it

212
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 8: and be a part of the team.

213
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: And I thought that it was Colt McCoy's job to

214
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: lose as well. And that's exactly what happened in Minnesota

215
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: during the two joint practices.

216
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 5: Wolf.

217
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 4: I just think that he did not slam the door

218
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 4: shut and make up the mind of the decision makers

219
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: to the during those two joint practices were actually, we're

220
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 4: more regular season football then you would get in a

221
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 4: preseason game. He was going against starters. Brian Flores was

222
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 4: dialing it up, giving him regular season looks. It didn't

223
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: go real well, it improved a little bit on Thursday.

224
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: But if you listened to the Cardinals and they told

225
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 4: the media they had interest in Josh Dobbs the entirety

226
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: of the offseason, my guess is they got done with

227
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: that second practice, said you know what, we got to

228
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: pull the trigger. Cleveland didn't want to let him go.

229
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: In fact, they even named him the backup quarterback beyond

230
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson, and about three hours after he was named

231
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: the number two quarterback, the deal was done and he

232
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: was going to Arizona and Dorian Thompson Rominson, the UCA rookie,

233
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: moved up the depth chart in Cleveland and for a

234
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 4: fifth round pick, Boom, he is property of the Arizona Cardinals.

235
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I'll say about that quickly is

236
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: guess what that was. Great leverage by the Cleveland Browns

237
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: to say always our backup quarterback. By the way, we'll

238
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: take a fifth round pick.

239

242
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: All right, we're just getting started on the whole QB

243
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 4: one thing. To your point, I think Clayton tune is

244
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: definitely in the mix. What happened this preseason that might

245
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: improve his odds. We'll get to that, and I'm gonna

246
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 4: make a comparison josh Dobbs to a current NFL quarterback

247
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: when we come back the Big Red Rage presented by

248
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: Santan Ford in Gilbert.

249
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: Shatka.

250
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 9: Dobbs third and six steps up throws a k ball

251
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 9: top Treo card.

252
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: With the gram a rainbow from Toms.

253
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: Great job by Joshua Dobbs to be able to deliver

254
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: the football to the outside for McMath to be able

255
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: to haul to the turf.

256
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 9: As he's catching the ball tops deep drop, He'll throw

257
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 9: to the near side, catch me.

258
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 7: What turns it up?

259
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: Mail for the touchdown.

260
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 9: Joshua Toms coun time and delivers for the score. It

261
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 9: is the first NFL touchdown for Joshua Dobbs.

262
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: In his first career NFL start. Joshua Dobbs at is

263
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: IGN Eagle Westwood won. That was the end of last season,

264
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: second to last game of the season. In fact, he

265
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: started the final two games of the year for the

266
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans. Did not have a lot of talent around him,

267
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: the worst receivers room in the league, and he still

268
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: went out there and those two games combined forty to

269
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: sixty eight passing, four to eleven through the air, two touchdowns,

270
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 4: two picks. Passer rating his seventy four. He was sacked

271
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: six times, had a long of thirty nine yards, ran

272
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: it eight times for forty four yards. We'll get into

273
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: that in a minute. It's a big Red Rage presented

274
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are santan Ford, Paul Kelvic,

275
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: Ron Wolfley, and Josh Dopps, a guy who was big

276
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: time in the SEC. Ron Wolfly did you know a

277
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: fun Factory. He's one of three quarterbacks in SEC history

278
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: to throw for fifteen plus touchdowns and rush for ten

279
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: plus touchdowns in multiple seasons. The others Tim Tebow and

280
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott.

281
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: That's pretty good company right there, Pauli.

282
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: And there's another one where he's like one of four

283
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: in SEC history, and then the fourth one is Johnny Manziel,

284
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: So he's got some elite company in SEC history. Josh Dobbs,

285
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: he was a fourth round pick seven years ago by

286
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: the Steelers, was a backup to Big Ben. He's look,

287
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: he's with U sixteen. Cardinals are his sixteen. He's never

288
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 4: really had that chance to flourish. And I'm gonna throw

289
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: out this out there. You might want to take my

290
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: car keys. I'm just gonna throw it out there. This

291
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: is the absolute upside, best case scenario.

292
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: Sure.

293
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: Geno Smith, Okay, a guy, Geno Smith who sat for

294
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 4: seven years in fact, actually when eight years between opening

295
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: day starts. Geno Smith, but after watching for all those years,

296
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 4: came out balled out last year, went to the Pro Bowl.

297
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 4: He was just rated the number seventy seven player in

298
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 4: the top one hundred in the NFL. From obscurity to

299
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 4: all of a sudden the starting franchise quarterback for the

300
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks. Now, that would be a crazy set of

301
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: expectations to put on Josh Dopps. But if you listen

302
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: to him, and you listen to the way he talks

303
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: to the media about what he learned in those two starts,

304
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 4: I think the Cardinals are at least intrigued enough to

305
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: give up that fifth round pick and run him out

306
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: there against Washington week one.

307
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Well, maybe that is going to be the case, PAULI.

308
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. But always keep in

309
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: mind that Josh Dobbs did not go to West by

310
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: God Virginia. Okay, sat On, he's got that while he's

311
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: got that working against him right now, Paully. But the

312
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: one thing we do know about Josh Dobbs, he is

313
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: a rocket scientist. Once again, this is a guy that

314
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: is incredibly smart. You know what's amazing about this, PAULI,

315
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: When when you really stop and think about it, and

316
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: this was something that Josh Dobbs was actually talking about.

317
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: But quarterback is probably the most difficult position to play

318
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: in all of professional sports. Would you agree with that? Okay,

319
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It is so cerebral, It is

320
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: intensive when it comes to understanding the game of course,

321
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: and being involved in the offense and calling the offense.

322
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable, and yet I would imagine being a

323
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: rocket scientist Polly is ten times harder than that. There's

324
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: not a lot of situations that you can look at

325
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: and say, man, you know what, this rocket science stuff

326
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: is easy compared to something else. So I think this

327
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: is going to be actually something that Josh Dobbs is

328
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: going to be able to help not only himself, but

329
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: also the other guys that are inside that room, and

330
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: help Drew Patsing as well. These quarterbacks learn the offense well.

331
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 4: His Meat and Great press conference with the media, Cam

332
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: Cox from Channel twelve. Cam He asked him, He said,

333
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 4: does it help playing quarterback to be a rocket scientist?

334
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: Sort of half joking, half serious, and Dobbs said, absolutely

335
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: it does because it's the ultimate problem solving position in

336
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: all of the sports, quarterback.

337
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 6: So if you want to know.

338
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 4: About smart and high IQ, how about asking a guy

339
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 4: from stand right, zach Ertz here on his first impression

340
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: of Josh Dobbs.

341
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 10: Yay, smart, obviously, I think that's well noted. He's an

342
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 10: astronaut or whatever he is. He the guy that understands football.

343
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 10: He's played a lot of football. He's got a really

344
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 10: good grasp of this offense. Obviously he's played it in

345
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 10: the past, so him coming into the huddle, calling the plays,

346
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 10: calling the formations has been seamless so far. And he

347
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 10: throws a very catch football, which as a receiver you like.

348
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 4: And look in the past, he's had the nickname past

349
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 4: or not though even though he's an aerospace engineer, he's

350
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 4: not actually an astronaut. But it's good stuff. Okay, you

351
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: know who quibbles with some of the fine details. It's

352
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 4: great stuff, and that's probably where he's going once he's

353
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: done playing ball. But he's aged twenty eight and he

354
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: feels like he does have some good ball ahead of him.

355
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: I just love that, Paul, I really do, because once

356
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: again I would imagine just rocket science, Paul, and I

357
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: keep calling it that, but you know what, it's just

358
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 1: too good because coaches always saying this isn't rocket science, okay,

359
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: but it just to me, that's got to be really,

360
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: really hard. Is it possible that he looks at at

361
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: rocket science and going, man, that's that's really hard. Quarterback

362
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: in the NFL not so hard to learn, you know,

363
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So that that to me

364
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: is an interesting dynamic because most of the time a

365
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: human being is looking at quarterback in the National Football

366
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: League going, Matt, this is this is involved. This is hard.

367
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: I've got to know all sorts of matchups and alterations

368
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: and checks and audibles that I've got to be ready

369
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: to call at a drop of a hat. And remembering

370
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: all that, of course, and the concepts that go behind it.

371
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: None of that comes anywhere close to what Josh Dobbs

372
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: is probably going to be doing for NASA when he's

373
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: done so tech.

374
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: I would imagine that helps him.

375
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, take all that, all the all the challenges you

376
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 4: just cited, and he has a two week timeframe to

377
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: get ready to be the Cardinals starting quarterback against the

378
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: Washington defensive front on the road that features four first

379
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 4: round picks. Okay, think about all that. And when he

380
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 4: was asked about he was completely unfazed. He actually said,

381
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 4: and he was dead serious.

382
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 7: Nah.

383
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 4: Really, what gives me stress in this whole situation is

384
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 4: I'm in a new town. Where am I gonna eat dinner?

385
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: You know?

386
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 4: Where am I going to figure out? Where am I

387
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 4: going out? Because I don't know the town. So that

388
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 4: combined with the fact he's been there and done that,

389
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: just the end of last season. He had eight days

390
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 4: notice after he was signed by the Titans and then

391
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 4: started two games at the end of the year. He

392
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 4: didn't even know that system, at least this system. He

393
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 4: knows the offensive coordinator, Drew Petsing real well. In fact,

394
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: he was asked about the importance of that.

395
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 8: You know, I spent a lot of time with Drew

396
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 8: last year as he was my QB coach in Cleveland,

397
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 8: and so coming into that offense, learning that offense from

398
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 8: him and now coming here and getting his own spinning

399
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 8: variation is very unique, especially with the relationship that we

400
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 8: had as well as he was in that room as well.

401
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 8: So it's good to have that relationship, especially quarterback to

402
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 8: play caller right and understanding why he's calling plays, why

403
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 8: he's installing plays, what variation he's put on the offense

404
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 8: is why he's doing that, and so it makes it

405
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 8: as smooth as a transition as it can be. But

406
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 8: there always are different bumps in the road that you

407
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 8: have to manage and navigate.

408
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 4: And it's not like he's coming off his couch. Okay,

409
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 4: this isn't. Forty five year old Vinnie Testa verdies some

410
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 4: twenty years ago showing up on a Wednesday and trying

411
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: to play on Sunday. He went through the entirety of

412
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 4: training camp. He knows this system, so that definitely gives

413
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: him advantage. Now, obviously didn't take a single snap and

414
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 4: the preseason wasn't there for any of the Cardinals camps,

415
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: so it's very unique, there's no question about it. But

416
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: there was a quote from Jonathan Gannon and he said

417
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 4: this multiple times Wolf when asked about Josh Dobbs and

418
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 4: what intrigues him about the quarterback, what he likes, and

419
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: the first thing he cites is, and I'm quoting him,

420
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: he can make plays inside and outside the pocket. I

421
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: think that's more important to the head coach than we realize.

422
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: I think that was a factor in moving on from

423
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 4: Colt McCoy. I think that's the reason they are intrigued

424
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 4: by Clayton Tune. He does have enough mobility. He did

425
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: run for quite a few yards at Houston. Saw him,

426
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: especially in those Vikings joint practices. Get away from that

427
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: Vikings pass rush, extend the play in fuying guys downfield.

428
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 4: Those are aspects that were not in Colt McCoy's game

429
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 4: at this point in his career.

430
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: Pauli.

431
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: It's a great observation once again, because when you think

432
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: about it, to your point, you've got Josh Dobbs and

433
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: his mobility, and you've got Clayton Tune and we all

434
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: saw it in the preseason his mobility as well, and

435
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: at some point in time when Kyler comes back his

436
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: mobility right there, that's certainly not a coincidence. That is

437
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: definitely JG looking for the same kind of skill set

438
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: where maybe you can be a dual threat a run

439
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: pass quarterback, of course, as a lot of quarterbacks are

440
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL today, but also too, JG was talking

441
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: about command and production, those two things specifically command and production,

442
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: and you just know that Josh.

443
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: Dobbs has got command, Paulie.

444
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to step into a high

445
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: you have to speak clearly, you've got to speak loudly,

446
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: and you've got to know what you're calling in the huddle.

447
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: You've got to know it, and you've got to know

448
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: a lot of the other guys' jobs on that certain

449
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: play and help them out if they forget it. And

450
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: you also have to have command of the offense to

451
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: a point where you might want to challenge a coach

452
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline saying, let's not run that play, Let's

453
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: run this play. And to me, that's not the worst

454
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: thing that can happen for an offense. To have your

455
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: quarterback understand it as well as the coach understands it

456
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: is a huge advantage, and Josh Dobbs seems to be

457
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: a guy that might be able to do that.

458
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 4: And again, I firmly think, and this is just my belief,

459
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: it's definitely his job to lose. That being the case,

460
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 4: it is being termed a quarterback competition right now with

461
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 4: Clayton Tune. Do you think that is a possibility Clayton

462
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: Tuone actually be eating out of Josh Dobbs. I mean,

463
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 4: what sort of realistic chance do you attach to that?

464
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: I love that, bully.

465
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: That's a great question right there, really is, because tell

466
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: me when Kyler Murray's coming back, Because honestly, right now,

467
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: if you were to tell me this, and I know

468
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: nothing about this, and there's been no leak about this whatsoever,

469
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: but if Kyler Murray was coming back week five, let's

470
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: just say that against the Cincinnati Bengals, he was coming

471
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: back week five, you know what I'd want to see

472
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: Clayton tune. As much as I could possibly see Clayton tone,

473
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: I'd want to give him as many reps as we

474
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: possibly could before Kyler would get back. But that not

475
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: being the case. We don't know that Kyler Murray's coming

476
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: back in week five. So now all of a sudden,

477
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: I think you're going to throw it up to say, hey,

478
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: let's find out who commands this offense the best over

479
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: these two weeks and who looks like they're capable of

480
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: providing production.

481
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 4: Look, you called all three preseason games right vance Joseph

482
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 4: Steve Spagnolo and than Brian Flores. Were those vanilla schemes?

483
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 4: They they brought it right? Yes, times, they really.

484
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 6: Dialed it up. I asked.

485
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: I asked the head coach about that today, and he agreed.

486
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: He said that was not vanilla football. He said that

487
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 4: Clayton saw a lot and he benefited from him because,

488
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: you know what, he got more of a regular season

489
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 4: read on what NFL football is all about being a quarterback,

490
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 4: trying to diagnose and decide as a quarterback. So, okay,

491
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 4: how much more regular season ready does that make a

492
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 4: Clayton tune?

493
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

494
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: I mean, if Brock Perdy would have played in Week

495
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 4: one instead of Week twelve last year? Would things have

496
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 4: been different? Was he ready from Week one? Single game

509
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 5: play very fast, a team that doesn't care about what

510
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 5: anybody else thinks. Everybody that's in that circle, everybody that's

511
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 5: in that huddle, those are the only ones that matter,

514
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,600

516
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: dropped great stuff from the Cardinals All Pro safety talking

517
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: about his game, just the reset of this Cardinals roster

518
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: where he believes the team is going what's in store

519
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: this season, and we'll review some of that here on

520
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 4: the Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.

521
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 4: We are santan Ford, Paul calvic Ron Wolfley. I don't

522
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 4: know about you, Wolf because you're over in the TV booth, right,

523
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: you're over in the high end real estate part of

524
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 4: the You know, I'm just over there, Hamm and Egger,

525
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 4: you know me and Drew Stanton J.

526
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 6: Feely. Okay, you know, looking down there.

527
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll get an acknowledgment from you and pass as

528
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 4: you guys go all Hollywood over there. But here's mode

529
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 4: I always discover in the preseason watching, is you forget

530
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 4: you forget how automatic a Buddha Baker and a Jalen

531
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: Thompson are with the open field tackling. And then when

532
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 4: you see other safeties out there, backup safeties, dare I say,

533
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 4: lesser safeties, and you see how many tackles are missed

534
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: in space, and you just get a newfound appreciation for

535
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 4: your Pro Bowl caliber safeties that the Cardinals start every game.

536
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pully, Yeah, you're so right about that they're called

537
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: safeties for a reason. They are the last line of

538
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: defense literally typically when you've got to make a tackle

539
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: or somebody's going to score a touchdown. And that's one

540
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: of the reasons why, for the longest time, of course,

541
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: some of the best tacklers on your team, open field

542
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: tacklers had to be safeties, and Buddha Baker certainly is that.

543
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: I'll take Buddha Baker, I'll take him out. I don't

544
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: care if he's in the box. I don't care if

545
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: he's coming down from the secondary, coming down and filling

546
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: the D gap. I don't care what it is that

547
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: he's doing right now. Buddha Baker is the guy that

548
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: I want out on the field. In Jalen Thompson, the

549
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: respect that I have for him, here's a guy that

550
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: we know, Paul. You can line up, you can put

551
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: him over the number three receiver, you can put him

552
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: over that slot receiver, and he's going to hold up

553
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: like a corner. It's such a huge advantage to have

554
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: a guy that is not only a good tackler, not

555
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: only is a safety like Jalen Thompson, but also a

556
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: guy you can move to that nickel corner spot.

557
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: That's huge, you know.

558
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: Talking about scheme, I know you said many times that, Okay,

559
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 4: certain players really thrive in certain schemes.

560
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 6: Not Buddha Baker.

561
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: Playing virtue anything you throw out there. His new defensive coordinator,

562
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: thirty year old Nick Rowless, and and Dave asked Buddha

563
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: Baker just on working with the new young DC.

564
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 5: You know, I will say Nick is a narrative football.

565
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: He really knows the game.

566
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: You know.

567
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 5: He makes it very easy for the players to understand

568
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: the game within the calls. Guys, are you know, able

569
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 5: to understand it and play fast? And at the end

570
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 5: of the day, that's what he wants us to do.

571
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 5: He wants us to know what we're doing and after

572
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 5: that and just play as fast as we can because

573
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 5: we have the talent, we have the players to play fast,

574
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 5: and you know, he kind of gives it upon us

575
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 5: to of course know our job and then just play

576
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: football after that.

577
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 4: Buddha Baker in the Day Pasch podcast. You know a

578
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: little bit we've come to learn about Nick Rowless. His

579
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: fellow coaches call him quote at assassin, So I'll take

580
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 4: that as he's going to be ultra aggressive this year.

581
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: Is that the gut feeling you get. We haven't seen

582
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 4: him in action and regular season action yet, but what

583
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 4: do you expect in terms of this scheme. We've talked

584
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: a lot about the offense, what about the defense.

585
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great observation right there, Pauli. I would

586
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: say this right here. If you're always blitzing, if you're

587
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: always coming after, if you're always the assassin, doesn't that

588
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: make it more likely that a team will be more

589
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: prepared for you to do it. I think it's going

590
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: to be a pick and choose. I could be wrong

591
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: on this, Paul, I really could, But you know, surprise

592
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: and the element of surprise is also now that seems

593
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: to be nick rawlis to me right now. I love

594
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: the fact that Buddha is talking about know your job

595
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: and to be able to play fast. Typically you don't

596
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: have a ton of checks in a defense like that.

597
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: When you're able to go out there and play fast typically,

598
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're simplifying your defense, and maybe that's

599
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know. He is aggressive. We

600
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: all know he's aggressive. I love the fact he puts

601
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: his hood up when he's actually calling a game.

602
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: But you know, I love that ball. He looks like.

603
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: An assassin, no doubt about that. But you know, again,

604
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how he does

605
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: this because just like the offense, where you have to

606
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: tailor your offense with the talent you have, it's the

607
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: same thing defensively. You just can't go willy nilly aggressive.

608
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: You've got to have corners that will hold up with

609
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: that aggression as well. And just don't know if you're

610
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: going to be quite as aggressive with that defense from

611
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: the get.

612
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 6: No, it's a great observation.

613
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: And look, whether it's Buddha, Jalen, Thompson, Zavi and Collins,

614
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: we've all heard him over the last few months talk

615
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 4: about how they feel more free. That's the word they use.

616
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 4: Free to play in this scheme that JG and Nick

617
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: Rolis don't give the players every possible outcome of every

618
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 4: possible play that's going to be run by the offense,

619
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 4: they're going to have to think and react. They want

620
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 4: that quick reaction time. They don't want them to hesitate

621
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 4: at all because they're wondering, Okay, which one of an

622
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 4: infinite number of checks am I going into. And so

623
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: that's interesting to see how that plays out. In the

633
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 4: for Buddha, back to the Day Past podcast, we thought

634
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 4: this was intriguing what he told Dave just about his

635
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 4: off season regiment.

636
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: After the Pro Bowl. I kind of just set my

637
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: mind on working hard and getting my body right. And

638
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 5: you know, of course I gained about fifteen pounds of

639
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 5: muscle sprinting, My acceleration has all gotten better, as fast

640
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 5: as I've ever been, as quick as I've ever been,

641
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: as strong as I've ever been, can jump higher than

642
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 5: I ever have, and you know, I just feel very healthy,

643
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 5: feel very blessed to you know, put that work in

644
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 5: and you know the season's coming up. The season's here,

645
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 5: I'm definitely excited to showcase that. Wow.

646
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 4: I mean, if he's new and improved like that, we're

647
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 4: talking about a five time Pro bol or two time

648
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 4: All Pro safety, a guy who over the last five

649
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: years has more than one hundred tackles beyond any other

650
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 4: safety in the NFL. I mean, like, get your popcorn ready.

651
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: Right, fifteen pounds of muscle Paul on and a guy

652
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: like Buddha Baker, you.

653
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 4: Know, I mean, and he has all the same speed

654
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 4: and agility. I've told you how many times in the

655
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 4: sideline you're like.

656
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 6: Whoa where did that guy come from? Wow?

657
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: And it was Buddha Baker. I mean, just you know,

658
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 4: like you say, running into the darkness, it is.

659
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: Paul, There's no doubt about that.

660
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know a lot of guys that are

661
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: under two hundred pounds, And I know Buddha is hovering

662
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: right around there, But I don't know a lot of

663
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: guys that could put on fifteen pounds. Now, if you

664
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: were two hundred and fifty pounds, yeah, you know, and

665
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: I put on fifteen pounds of muscle, I can understand

666
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: that if you were two hundred and eighty pounds yeah,

667
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: I needed to get to three hundred and I put

668
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: on muscle, and a lot of guys have done that before.

669
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: But you know, when you come into the league and

670
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: you weigh one hundred and ninety pounds or one hundred

671
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: and eighty five pounds, you know, typically you're not putting

672
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: non fifteen pounds and Buddha Baker certainly is doing that

673
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: right now. That to me, if he's accurate on that, Polly,

674
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: what an incredible thing that's going to be because right

675
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: now he's already a guy that will wipe you out.

676
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: Can you imagine fifteen pounds of muscle he's on him now?

677
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 4: He's listed at one ninety four, So if we were

678
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 4: to think he was playing around oneint eighty in the

679
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 4: last couple of years, that would make sense. And so okay,

680
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 4: I mean I believe him. I don't think he's embellishing.

681
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 4: I don't think he's exaggerating on that. So hello, we

682
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: all want to see what that looks like. There's no question,

683
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 4: you know, by the way, speaking in the safety spot,

684
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 4: when you look at some of the waiver claims, it's

685
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: hard not to notice Keevon Wallace, who just spent the

686
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 4: last three years with the Eagles with Jonathan Gann and

687
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 4: Nick Rowlis twenty twenty round four pick out of Clemson.

688
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 4: He's played forty five games, seven starts. Now you put

689
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 4: him theoretically, I would presume, because you and I have

690
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 4: a lot of depth of safety obviously after trading away

691
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 4: Isaiah Simmons and cutting Javontae Moffatt. So now Keavon Wallace

692
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 4: joins a Jalen Thompson and a Buddha Baker.

693
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 6: That's critical. Isn't a wolf because you might you might

694
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 6: have JT in the slot?

695
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: Is your nickel? Yeah, no doubt.

696
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: And you know, it also tells me that maybe there's

697
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: something else as well that is coming. Maybe there's another

698
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: shoe that is going to drop right here. We'll have

699
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: to wait and see the other thing I wanted to

700
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: say quickly, Paully, I am so encouraged and I'm I'm

701
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic about the defensive line. The defensive line in

702
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: particular with l J. Collier, Lucky Fotwo and Jonathan Ledbetter. Paully,

703
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: I think these guys we were looking for it in

704
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 1: the preseason game, that first preseason game against the Bronck

705
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: of course, and then against the Chiefs, we were looking

706
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: for it, and man, when they were in there, there

707
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: was gap integrity. There was no doubt about it. And

708
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: we've all all off season been waiting to see, Hey,

709
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: is that going to be the case. We're thinking that

710
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: teams are going to be able to line up and

711
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: run the ball against the Cardinals, and how demoralizing it

712
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: is when a team can just line up and run

713
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: it down your throat, cram at vertical, so to speak.

714
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: It's demoralizing. But what I saw in preseason man week

715
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: number one, I'm gonna really be watching that to see

716
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: if that same gap integrity with LJ. Collier, Lucky Foto

717
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Ledbetter, if that exists when they play Washington,

718
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: that to me will encourage me so much if they

719
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: can actually slow down the Commanders.

720
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: Because once again you lost half your sacks and JJ

721
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: Watt and Zach Allen, So if you can get some penetration,

722
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 4: you can get some pressure trying to collapse that middle

723
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 4: from that pocket, from the middle, from the inside out.

724
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 4: It's going to be so critical because you have some

725
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 4: unproven outside linebackers right now and guys making transitions like

726
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 4: a Zave and Collins, so I'm with you on that,

727
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 4: no question about it. And you know what an LJ.

728
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 4: Collier just taking him as an example, a womer first

729
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 4: round pick who said that he was in a bad

730
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 4: fit of a system in Seattle. So if it's a

731
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: matter of that a LeKi Fotu was in a contract

732
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 4: year and mandity play like it in Minnesota, he absolutely

733
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 4: dominated the starting center for the Vikings, Garrett Bradbury and

734
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 4: those one on one. So I'm with you, no doubt

735
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 4: about it. But I'll tell you there's a few other

736
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 4: waiver claims that came across in the last forty eight hours,

737
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 4: and these might be some guys who might make an.

738
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 6: Addition to the team.

739
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 4: And there's some intriguing scanner reports that is next on

740
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 4: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert.

741
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 11: Hi, I'm Christopher Andandez and I'm called lit Bikini and

742
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 11: we're from ted Lasso, and we know I think or

743
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 11: two about football. Now, this is American football, right, so

744
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 11: we have no idea what we're doing here, but we having.

745
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 6: Lots of fun.

746
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 8: I moved one hundred and ninety seventh pick in the

747
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 8: two posid and twenty three NFL Draft.

748
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 11: The Miami Dolphins select Elijah Higgins tight end.

749
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: Stanford's football is life.

750
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 6: He's here, he's there, He's.

751
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 4: Every freaking where Elijah Higgins. Elijah Higgins. Some great stuff

752
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 4: that was from the actual draft of Elijah Higgins out

753
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 4: of Stanford. Actors from Ted Lasso, while done, always enjoy

754
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 4: that when they incorporate the world of entertainment into the

755
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 4: NFL draft, especially on Day three, Wolf come on, there's

756
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 4: always room from some extra entertainment. And guess what Cardinals

757
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 4: I think are elated they got their hands on Elijah

758
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 4: Higgins via a waivers considering he set some sort of

759
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 4: record where five teams try to claim him, but the

760
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 4: Cardinals of that number three slot, boom, they snap him

761
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 4: and added him to the roster. As we wrap up

762
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: this edition of The Big Red Rage presented by Santan

763
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 4: Ford in Gilbert.

764
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI, and it's really interesting as well, because Elijah

765
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: Higgins is six ' three and he's two hundred and

766
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: thirty five pounds. PAULI, if you could put on fifteen

767
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: pounds right there, you know there's a guy that could

768
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: be a stud tight end, could be a move tight

769
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 1: end as well. Right now, I see him more as

770
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: a move tight end at two hundred and thirty five pounds.

771
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: But it's going to be really interesting to watch Elijah

772
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: Higgins in his career and where it goes from here.

773
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 4: He's a former receiver, Jonathan Gannon confirmed today. No, he's

774
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 4: definitely a tight end. That's where the Cardinals are going

775
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 4: to play him. But he had good speed for a receiver,

776
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 4: much less a tight end, so he has that athleticism.

777
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 4: What's intriguing too, if you had zoom out in that

778
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 4: tight end room. I mean, well, if you have Jeff

779
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 4: Swayman we had on last week, right, you're quintessential blocking

780
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 4: tight end. You have Zach Ertz, you know, a multi

781
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 4: pro bowler and just a master again downfield in the

782
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 4: seams and reading coverage and great hands. And then Trey

783
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 4: McBride and I don't know how you describe him necessarily,

784
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 4: but we've seen him in the backfield more almost like

785
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 4: an h back at times. But you have like four

786
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 4: distinct skill sets a tight end in that room, don't you.

787
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. Paully.

788
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of diversity right there, and I

789
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: love that because you can be so versatile at that

790
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: position right now. I look at Jeff Swain and you

791
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: know this, Paully the way I value him, he is

792
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: a true stud tight end. He's a guy that is

793
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: going to be a true Why tight end. You can

794
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: line him up on the tackles hip, on the line

795
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, hand in the dirt, and he can come

796
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: off the ball and he can be an excellent blocker

797
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: for you. And then you've got a guy like zach Ertz,

798
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: who is the quintessential move tight end to me at

799
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: this point in his career. For him to be a

800
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: guy that is going to move, I think it's one

801
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: of the reasons why the Arizona Cardinals are going to

802
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: be right up there at the very top in twelve

803
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: personnel in rundown situations. I think they're going to be

804
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: right at the top of the league because of that

805
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: zach Ertz being able to move. And then I look

806
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: at Trey McBride and I see a combination of Jeff

807
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: swam in zach Ertz. I see a guy that could

808
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: possibly develop into being a troop Why, a stud tight end,

809
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: and a move tight end. So it's going to be

810
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: really interesting to see how he develops. Of course, and

811
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: that room is without a doubt, very versatile at this point.

812
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 4: And at this point we don't know if zach Ertz

813
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 4: is going to play Week one. Zach Ertz might know,

814
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 4: he's not sharing with the media said it's uncertain as

815
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 4: of right now, which is par for the course because

816
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 4: you're not telling Washington anything. You're not trying to reveal

817
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 4: who's playing, what sort of scheme you're playing, what the

818
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 4: offense is going to look like. Do they have plans

819
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 4: for an Elijah Higgins on game day? Will it be

820
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 4: zach Ertz. We won't know until that Week one game now.

821
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 4: As for other waiver claims, it was hard not to

822
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 4: notice a couple of experienced offensive linemen they brought in

823
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 4: Keith Ishmael and Tristan Cole Cologne, and these are guys

824
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 4: who have started games in the NFL recently, especially at center,

825
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 4: because behind Yelda Rojol, things were all thin on the

826
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 4: depth chart.

827
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, Polly, It tells me once again,

828
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: just looking at the moves that they made on that

829
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: offensive line, and I would say in particular interior offensive line, Paulie,

830
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: You know, that tells you where they aren't sure as

831
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: to what they're going to be like and how they're

832
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: going to do and where they're going to go. But

833
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting on the original fifty three.

834
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: They only kept eight offensive linemen on the original fifty three,

835
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: and that was really low to me because there are

836
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: teams who will dress eight offensive linemen on game day,

837
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: let alone how many they'll have on their roster right there.

838
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting to see how this develops.

839
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: But I think JG already said it. This roster is

840
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: in a state of flux, and Paul, I think this

841
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: roster is going to be in a state of flux

842
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: all season long.

843
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 4: So right now they're at ten in the offensive line room.

844
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 4: Cologne has played twenty games with Baltimore.

845
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 6: Over the last three years.

846
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 4: Five starts at center, Keith Ishmael five starts at center,

847
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 4: most recently with the Niners, played eighteen games over the.

848
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 6: Last two years.

849
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 4: And so then you put Dennis Dally on ir so

850
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 4: you're at ten because you added Carter O'Donnell today from Indianapolis.

851
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 4: He was cut and claimed and the Cardinals got him,

852
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 4: and so, okay, he'd been up and down between the

853
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 4: practice squad and the active roster. So we mentioned all that.

854
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 4: That leaves Kevon Watts we are talking about and then

855
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 4: the corner Starling Thomas from Detroit. What do you think

856
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: about the corner position. That's a position group we haven't

857
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 4: talked about. And where are you right now? Because Christian

858
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 4: Matthew made this team we were wondering about that. It

859
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 4: appears Marco Wilson and Key trawl Clark are your starters.

860
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with your assessment on that one, Polly

861
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: right there, and I think we're probably going to see

862
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton be that nickel corner right now. I could

863
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: be wrong on that. Well, we'll find out, But that

864
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: is if if we're talking about a roster that is

865
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: in a state of flux, I think that dB room,

866
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: that corner room in particular, is maybe the position room

867
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: that is in the most state of flux right now

868
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: because it is a very fluid situation, and Paul, I

869
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be that way all season.

870
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 4: Maybe the biggest surprise, I'll be honest, in the fifty

871
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 4: three was Chris Boyd is still on this roster and

872
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 4: he's been a heck of a special team standout, and

873
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 4: I'm guessing that has a lot to do with his

874
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 4: standing on this team.

875
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,520
