Oh boy, 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.560 here we are one week out, and remember we are 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.080 the original Thursday Night Football fifty two weeks per year, 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.840 ain't no stinking off season for the Big Red Rage 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.880 presented by Santane Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford, 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.959 Paul calvic here, Ron Wolfley. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.559 There, good evening, wolf What's going on, Paulie? A lot? 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.840 Thanks for asking, Oh boy, I mean a lot happening 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.960 in real time. This roster is evolving. I mean almost 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.160 nearly as we speak. We had another waiver claim this afternoon, 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.480 did we not. We had guys going to the injured reserve. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.280 I mean this is going to be, I believe, a 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.720 season long exercise slash excursion. This roster is going to 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.680 be churned at every opportunity, true or false, Ron Wolfling. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.040 Yeah, no doubt about it, Pully, I would agree with 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.360 that assessment right now. You know, it was interesting because 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.560 I know we're going to play little Jonathan Gannon here, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.200 a little JG in some of the cuts. Just listening 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.520 to him earlier in the day, you know, it made 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.560 me think of how exhausted this must be for a 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.919 guy who was going through his first, his first cutdown 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.800 day as the head coach of an NFL team. And Paully, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.400 I can tell you right now, although not every head 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.440 coach gets to say goodbye to a player. Most of 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.680 them want to get to say goodbye to a player. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.760 And this is kind of like the third wave right 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.840 now for JG. When you think about it, it was 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.240 the cutdown of the original fifty three PAULI. Then of 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.040 course it was the waiver wire, and we all know that, Hey, 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.080 just because you know what the Cardinals said, you're on 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.200 the fifty three. If they go out and they claim 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.840 a player or off the waiver wire, they also have 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.880 to let somebody go. So it was like the second wave. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.200 And then there's going to be I think in the 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.040 coming days free agent signings where they're still going to 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.200 have to cut down people. I think he's done with 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:24.480 a cutdown process. 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.400 No allegiances, we've gone with those two words the entire offseason. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.560 Bill Belichick has no days off, no allegiances. But it 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.440 doesn't mean you have no affinity. To your point, you 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.480 get to know these guys. So that initial wave thirty 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:39.800 one players. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.040 You let go. 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.200 I'm not sure there were a ton of surprises in there, 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.560 you know, maybe just maybe a Davon Davis or a 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.760 Kadan Davis had a chance, or a Noah Tongii, a 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.320 Kyle Soley. You know there were names we're all familiar 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.520 with in that initial wave. They still haven't put a 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.480 long snapper on the official fifty three, so that's always curious. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.960 David Blow, who has since gone back to Detroit, So 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.360 there's that out there. And then there was the next wave, 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.840 as you mentioned, because they went after waiver claims and 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.760 then they had to cut danly Arius, the undrafted rookie 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.840 receiving Marquise Hayes, who reportedly is back on the practice 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.359 squad as we speak, Javonte Moffat the safety, Ben Stilly, 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.760 the d lineman, Blake Whiteheart, who we both know they 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.040 like yes a lot, and we figure is gonna end 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.400 up back on the practice squad. But to your point, 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.360 here's Jonathan Gannon talking to the media and just talking 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.880 about the ever evolving fifty three man roster. 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.080 The rosters in flux all the time, you know what 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.800 I mean, And that goes back to we're going to 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.400 try to do what's best we can for the team. Always, 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.400 pieces gets shuffled around, pieces move who's up on game day, 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.919 and it's not just the fifty three, it's the practice squad. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.720 It's how many guys are going to get a Jersey 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.640 on Washington, the roles that they serve, there's a lot 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.520 of things that go into that, and our guys. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.080 Know that, no doubt. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.760 And then today you had an offensive lineman claimed by 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:01.600 the Cardinals, Carter O'Donnell from Indianapol. Yes, last three years, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.520 he's been up and down between the active roster and 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.359 the practice squad. He's yet to play in a game. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.039 And then along with that, you had a couple of 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.760 moves to the injured reserve my j Sanders with a hand, 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.800 Dennis Daily with the ankle. So they're eligible to come 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.919 back this year, but they must missed at least the 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:16.840 first four games. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.520 PAULI, I think I want to go back to the 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.200 original fifty three, if that's okay with you right now. 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.400 I know there's a lot of moving parts going on, 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.799 but I thought it was interesting because they only they 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:32.560 had fifty two on the roster, right, and that I 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.840 found very interesting because they kept twenty three offensively and 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:42.120 twenty seven defensively in two the punter and the kicker, 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.040 of course, two on special teams. And they cut their 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.239 deep snapper we all know that, of course, and Aaron 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.120 Brewer they let him go, and of course they're going 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.520 to sign him back, and I think they have already 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.919 as a matter of fact, and he's going to be activated, 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:02.119 I'm sure come game time. It's interesting that twenty three 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.479 on the offense and twenty seven on the defense. I 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.000 was really shocked by that inequity. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.200 Yeah, what does that tell you? Does that tell you 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.239 they're trying to throw numbers at some of those question marks, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:20.800 some of those position groups on defense that are still unanswered, right, 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.360 I mean, whether it's that backup safety or the cornerback position, 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.240 whether Marco Wilson is available at Dennis Gardek was out 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.599 on the field this week. But what exactly are you 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.880 looking at it? Outside linebacker defensive line. You know, they're 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.640 trying to throw bodies at that solution, but what's that 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.680 rotation ultimately going to be. I don't know what sort 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.840 of conclusion can you draw from that, if any. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.120 Yeah, you know, once again, I think to your point, 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.760 that's what it had to be. But typically a lot 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.560 of teams are not in the practice of saying, hey, listen, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.720 we don't have a ton of edge players, so let's 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.880 keep a ton of edge players. Either they're going to 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.760 be good enough to actually play at this level or 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.920 they're not going to be good enough. I thought it 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.400 was really really an interesting tactic. And at Paully to 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.720 your point, you know, Manti assen Fort and JG they've 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.880 got a reason why they did what they did. They 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.360 kept seven defensive linemen. Now think about that, seven defensive 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.760 linemen on the act of fifty three, and we didn't 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.800 think defensive line was a very deep position for them. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.800 And they kept seven edge players as well, And we 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.520 don't look at the edge and think the Cardinals are 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.280 loaded on the edge right there, fourteen players they kept, 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.840 even the inside linebacker. And I can understand this a 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.520 lot because of the special teams element that comes into play, 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.720 but five inside linebackers were kept as well. I just 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:54.080 was very surprised to see more defensive players, considerably more 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:54.880 than offense. 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.920 I'm glad you brought that up because I had this 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.200 out with Darren Urban during Cardinals Underground the podcast. Well, 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.680 Combat Vy san Calvic, but wait a minute, it's a 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.640 three to four. Why are you surprised there's seven outside linebackers? 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.160 And my rime response was, well, I sort of view 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.360 to Jesse Luketta and Victor d. Mukage as the same player. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:12.080 It's either or. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.360 I sort of looked at an Owen Papo and Ezekiel 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.120 Turner as either or. But I know these guys are 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:18.920 instrumental on special teams. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:19.360 I get it. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.640 You know there's a Chris Barnes in that inside linebacker 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:22.960 room as well. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.679 So sure we'll see. 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.000 And they're continuing to add players and then players are 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.960 continually cut. I get it, but we're burying the lead here. 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:35.920 The big move, obviously that got national attention was the 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:40.280 release of Colt McCoy and the trade for Josh Dobbs. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.920 And we were on the air this time last week 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.440 when it all came down. They gave up a fifth 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.760 round pick to Cleveland. They brought in Josh Dobbs, who 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.080 has familiarity both with the offensive coordinator Drew Petsen, who 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.800 was a quarterbacks coach the last couple of years in Cleveland, 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.160 Israel Wolfork, the current quarterbacks coach, and then of course 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:02.560 the GM Monijasin Ford, who signed Josh Dobbs in Tennessee 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.920 to start the last two games of last season. So 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.480 just your takeaway on that acquisition. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.360 Yeah, Paulie, you know, once again I thought that Colt 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.880 McCoy was going to be the starting quarterback going into 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.760 week one, largely because of who he is as a leader, 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.960 how long he's been in the league, the fact that 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.160 he's one of the better minds, of course in the 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.640 National Football League in regard to seeing every defense known 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:31.000 to man and maybe executing every offense known to man 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.480 as well. I thought it was going to be his 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.400 experience largely that would take him into week number one 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.760 as the starter. That is not the case. And I 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.720 think you are very familiar as to why. I know 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.280 you have your own take on this and your own 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.560 beliefs on this, and I think you're right on it, PAULI. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.240 But now that that is the case, and we know 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:58.720 that Colt McCoy has been released, bringing in Josh Dobbs, 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:04.040 I thought was very very interesting. This is a guy 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.400 that is a rocket scientist. Of course we all know that. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.640 I mean, you know, anytime you hear a code say 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.559 it's not rocket science, guess what he means it when 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.840 he's talking to Josh Dobbs, No doubt about it. So 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.720 you know, once again, it's going to be interesting to 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.720 see how this quarterback battle shakes out going forward. I 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.439 don't think it's a faith to compleae. I don't think 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.440 it's a done deal that Josh Dobbs is going to 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.760 be the starter going into week one. But once again, 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.520 I thought Colt McCoy was going to be the starter. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.840 And yeah, Josh Doabbs has a degree in aerospace engineering 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.040 from Tennessee and he's done internships with NASA through the 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.920 NFL Players Association. So big brain, big big brain on 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.040 Josh Dobbs has no doubt about it. In fact, speaking 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.800 of who is QB one, I firmly believe it's his 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.199 job to lose. When Dobbs was asked about that, he 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.640 simply said, you know what, I put those expectations on myself. 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.840 Every time myself in the building, I put starting expectations 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.880 on myself. So I know the QB situation is going 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.480 to play out however the coaches see fit. But for me, 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.360 you not come in ready to compete every single day. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:13.200 I push myself. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.360 But also, you know, approached the room in that way, 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.240 and so I'm excited to be a part of it 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:18.120 and be a part of the team. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.560 And I thought that it was Colt McCoy's job to 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.240 lose as well. And that's exactly what happened in Minnesota 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.080 during the two joint practices. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:26.560 Wolf. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.200 I just think that he did not slam the door 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.959 shut and make up the mind of the decision makers 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.360 to the during those two joint practices were actually, we're 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.000 more regular season football then you would get in a 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.719 preseason game. He was going against starters. Brian Flores was 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.079 dialing it up, giving him regular season looks. It didn't 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.040 go real well, it improved a little bit on Thursday. 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.080 But if you listened to the Cardinals and they told 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.600 the media they had interest in Josh Dobbs the entirety 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.960 of the offseason, my guess is they got done with 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.560 that second practice, said you know what, we got to 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.360 pull the trigger. Cleveland didn't want to let him go. 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.640 In fact, they even named him the backup quarterback beyond 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.360 Deshaun Watson, and about three hours after he was named 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.360 the number two quarterback, the deal was done and he 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.800 was going to Arizona and Dorian Thompson Rominson, the UCA rookie, 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.080 moved up the depth chart in Cleveland and for a 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.120 fifth round pick, Boom, he is property of the Arizona Cardinals. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.440 Well, the only thing I'll say about that quickly is 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.120 guess what that was. Great leverage by the Cleveland Browns 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.000 to say always our backup quarterback. By the way, we'll 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.000 take a fifth round pick. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.520 Episode sixty two of The Day Pash Podcast featuring All 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.239 Pro safety Buddha Baker.

Get the latest updates via Twitter at hash pod. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.360 All right, we're just getting started on the whole QB 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.680 one thing. To your point, I think Clayton tune is 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.800 definitely in the mix. What happened this preseason that might 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.000 improve his odds. We'll get to that, and I'm gonna 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.840 make a comparison josh Dobbs to a current NFL quarterback 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.240 when we come back the Big Red Rage presented by 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.320 Santan Ford in Gilbert. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:05.520 Shatka. 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.439 Dobbs third and six steps up throws a k ball 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.439 top Treo card. 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.600 With the gram a rainbow from Toms. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.720 Great job by Joshua Dobbs to be able to deliver 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.080 the football to the outside for McMath to be able 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.079 to haul to the turf. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.120 As he's catching the ball tops deep drop, He'll throw 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.600 to the near side, catch me. 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.040 What turns it up? 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.640 Mail for the touchdown. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:37.680 Joshua Toms coun time and delivers for the score. It 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:43.920 is the first NFL touchdown for Joshua Dobbs. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:50.160 In his first career NFL start. Joshua Dobbs at is 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.520 IGN Eagle Westwood won. That was the end of last season, 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.360 second to last game of the season. In fact, he 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.120 started the final two games of the year for the 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.319 Tennessee Titans. Did not have a lot of talent around him, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.480 the worst receivers room in the league, and he still 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.880 went out there and those two games combined forty to 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.120 sixty eight passing, four to eleven through the air, two touchdowns, 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.200 two picks. Passer rating his seventy four. He was sacked 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.800 six times, had a long of thirty nine yards, ran 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.080 it eight times for forty four yards. We'll get into 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.240 that in a minute. It's a big Red Rage presented 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.720 by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are santan Ford, Paul Kelvic, 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.640 Ron Wolfley, and Josh Dopps, a guy who was big 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.920 time in the SEC. Ron Wolfly did you know a 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.080 fun Factory. He's one of three quarterbacks in SEC history 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.080 to throw for fifteen plus touchdowns and rush for ten 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.920 plus touchdowns in multiple seasons. The others Tim Tebow and 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:39.840 Dak Prescott. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.400 That's pretty good company right there, Pauli. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.200 And there's another one where he's like one of four 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.840 in SEC history, and then the fourth one is Johnny Manziel, 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.760 So he's got some elite company in SEC history. Josh Dobbs, 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.040 he was a fourth round pick seven years ago by 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.680 the Steelers, was a backup to Big Ben. He's look, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.640 he's with U sixteen. Cardinals are his sixteen. He's never 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.720 really had that chance to flourish. And I'm gonna throw 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.800 out this out there. You might want to take my 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.720 car keys. I'm just gonna throw it out there. This 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.520 is the absolute upside, best case scenario. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.120 Sure. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:18.440 Geno Smith, Okay, a guy, Geno Smith who sat for 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.240 seven years in fact, actually when eight years between opening 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.200 day starts. Geno Smith, but after watching for all those years, 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.400 came out balled out last year, went to the Pro Bowl. 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.280 He was just rated the number seventy seven player in 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.320 the top one hundred in the NFL. From obscurity to 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.320 all of a sudden the starting franchise quarterback for the 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.360 Seattle Seahawks. Now, that would be a crazy set of 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.440 expectations to put on Josh Dopps. But if you listen 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:45.920 to him, and you listen to the way he talks 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.160 to the media about what he learned in those two starts, 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.480 I think the Cardinals are at least intrigued enough to 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.400 give up that fifth round pick and run him out 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:54.720 there against Washington week one. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.240 Well, maybe that is going to be the case, PAULI. 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.720 We'll have to wait and see. But always keep in 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.200 mind that Josh Dobbs did not go to West by 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:07.080 God Virginia. Okay, sat On, he's got that while he's 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.280 got that working against him right now, Paully. But the 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.880 one thing we do know about Josh Dobbs, he is 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:18.000 a rocket scientist. Once again, this is a guy that 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.880 is incredibly smart. You know what's amazing about this, PAULI, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.440 When when you really stop and think about it, and 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.160 this was something that Josh Dobbs was actually talking about. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:32.920 But quarterback is probably the most difficult position to play 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.680 in all of professional sports. Would you agree with that? Okay, 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.120 no doubt about it. It is so cerebral, It is 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.600 intensive when it comes to understanding the game of course, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.720 and being involved in the offense and calling the offense. 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:53.720 It is unbelievable, and yet I would imagine being a 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:59.240 rocket scientist Polly is ten times harder than that. There's 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.960 not a lot of situations that you can look at 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.240 and say, man, you know what, this rocket science stuff 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.639 is easy compared to something else. So I think this 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.520 is going to be actually something that Josh Dobbs is 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.639 going to be able to help not only himself, but 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.399 also the other guys that are inside that room, and 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:24.520 help Drew Patsing as well. These quarterbacks learn the offense well. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.680 His Meat and Great press conference with the media, Cam 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.000 Cox from Channel twelve. Cam He asked him, He said, 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.600 does it help playing quarterback to be a rocket scientist? 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.200 Sort of half joking, half serious, and Dobbs said, absolutely 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:41.480 it does because it's the ultimate problem solving position in 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.280 all of the sports, quarterback. 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:44.720 So if you want to know. 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.720 About smart and high IQ, how about asking a guy 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.639 from stand right, zach Ertz here on his first impression 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:52.760 of Josh Dobbs. 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.199 Yay, smart, obviously, I think that's well noted. He's an 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:01.360 astronaut or whatever he is. He the guy that understands football. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.120 He's played a lot of football. He's got a really 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.439 good grasp of this offense. Obviously he's played it in 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.840 the past, so him coming into the huddle, calling the plays, 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:15.000 calling the formations has been seamless so far. And he 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.119 throws a very catch football, which as a receiver you like. 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.480 And look in the past, he's had the nickname past 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.640 or not though even though he's an aerospace engineer, he's 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.680 not actually an astronaut. But it's good stuff. Okay, you 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.040 know who quibbles with some of the fine details. It's 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.440 great stuff, and that's probably where he's going once he's 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.000 done playing ball. But he's aged twenty eight and he 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.760 feels like he does have some good ball ahead of him. 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.840 I just love that, Paul, I really do, because once 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.359 again I would imagine just rocket science, Paul, and I 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.800 keep calling it that, but you know what, it's just 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.719 too good because coaches always saying this isn't rocket science, okay, 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.560 but it just to me, that's got to be really, 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.800 really hard. Is it possible that he looks at at 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.480 rocket science and going, man, that's that's really hard. Quarterback 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.199 in the NFL not so hard to learn, you know, 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.600 you know what I mean? So that that to me 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.520 is an interesting dynamic because most of the time a 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.760 human being is looking at quarterback in the National Football 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:18.520 League going, Matt, this is this is involved. This is hard. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:23.240 I've got to know all sorts of matchups and alterations 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:27.840 and checks and audibles that I've got to be ready 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:31.639 to call at a drop of a hat. And remembering 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.640 all that, of course, and the concepts that go behind it. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:39.920 None of that comes anywhere close to what Josh Dobbs 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.520 is probably going to be doing for NASA when he's 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:43.720 done so tech. 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.320 I would imagine that helps him. 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.960 Yeah, take all that, all the all the challenges you 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.600 just cited, and he has a two week timeframe to 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.560 get ready to be the Cardinals starting quarterback against the 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.960 Washington defensive front on the road that features four first 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.359 round picks. Okay, think about all that. And when he 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.639 was asked about he was completely unfazed. He actually said, 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:03.719 and he was dead serious. 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:04.560 Nah. 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.200 Really, what gives me stress in this whole situation is 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.359 I'm in a new town. Where am I gonna eat dinner? 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:09.600 You know? 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:11.679 Where am I going to figure out? Where am I 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.639 going out? Because I don't know the town. So that 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:16.719 combined with the fact he's been there and done that, 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:18.600 just the end of last season. He had eight days 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:20.560 notice after he was signed by the Titans and then 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.320 started two games at the end of the year. He 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.399 didn't even know that system, at least this system. He 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.680 knows the offensive coordinator, Drew Petsing real well. In fact, 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.520 he was asked about the importance of that. 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:31.920 You know, I spent a lot of time with Drew 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.360 last year as he was my QB coach in Cleveland, 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.040 and so coming into that offense, learning that offense from 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:40.560 him and now coming here and getting his own spinning 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.320 variation is very unique, especially with the relationship that we 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.480 had as well as he was in that room as well. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.680
