Speaker 4: Two words are trending this evening, Ron Wolfley, Thursday Thursday.
Speaker 4: Apparently people are getting to jump on the Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 6: Next Thursday.
Speaker 4: The two words we figure will be NFL football, NFL
Speaker 4: opener maybe and then all ball from there. Oh boy,
Speaker 4: here we are one week out, and remember we are
Speaker 4: the original Thursday Night Football fifty two weeks per year,
Speaker 4: ain't no stinking off season for the Big Red Rage
Speaker 4: presented by Santane Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford,
Speaker 4: Paul calvic here, Ron Wolfley.
Speaker 6: There, good evening, wolf What's going on, Paulie? A lot?
Speaker 4: Thanks for asking, Oh boy, I mean a lot happening
Speaker 4: in real time. This roster is evolving. I mean almost
Speaker 4: nearly as we speak. We had another waiver claim this afternoon,
Speaker 4: did we not. We had guys going to the injured reserve.
Speaker 4: I mean this is going to be, I believe, a
Speaker 4: season long exercise slash excursion. This roster is going to
Speaker 4: be churned at every opportunity, true or false, Ron Wolfling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it, Pully, I would agree with
Speaker 1: that assessment right now. You know, it was interesting because
Speaker 1: I know we're going to play little Jonathan Gannon here,
Speaker 1: a little JG in some of the cuts. Just listening
Speaker 1: to him earlier in the day, you know, it made
Speaker 1: me think of how exhausted this must be for a
Speaker 1: guy who was going through his first, his first cutdown
Speaker 1: day as the head coach of an NFL team. And Paully,
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, although not every head
Speaker 1: coach gets to say goodbye to a player. Most of
Speaker 1: them want to get to say goodbye to a player.
Speaker 1: And this is kind of like the third wave right
Speaker 1: now for JG. When you think about it, it was
Speaker 1: the cutdown of the original fifty three PAULI. Then of
Speaker 1: course it was the waiver wire, and we all know that, Hey,
Speaker 1: just because you know what the Cardinals said, you're on
Speaker 1: the fifty three. If they go out and they claim
Speaker 1: a player or off the waiver wire, they also have
Speaker 1: to let somebody go. So it was like the second wave.
Speaker 1: And then there's going to be I think in the
Speaker 1: coming days free agent signings where they're still going to
Speaker 1: have to cut down people. I think he's done with
Speaker 1: a cutdown process.
Speaker 4: No allegiances, we've gone with those two words the entire offseason.
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick has no days off, no allegiances. But it
Speaker 4: doesn't mean you have no affinity. To your point, you
Speaker 4: get to know these guys. So that initial wave thirty
Speaker 4: one players.
Speaker 6: You let go.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure there were a ton of surprises in there,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe just maybe a Davon Davis or a
Speaker 4: Kadan Davis had a chance, or a Noah Tongii, a
Speaker 4: Kyle Soley. You know there were names we're all familiar
Speaker 4: with in that initial wave. They still haven't put a
Speaker 4: long snapper on the official fifty three, so that's always curious.
Speaker 4: David Blow, who has since gone back to Detroit, So
Speaker 4: there's that out there. And then there was the next wave,
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, because they went after waiver claims and
Speaker 4: then they had to cut danly Arius, the undrafted rookie
Speaker 4: receiving Marquise Hayes, who reportedly is back on the practice
Speaker 4: squad as we speak, Javonte Moffat the safety, Ben Stilly,
Speaker 4: the d lineman, Blake Whiteheart, who we both know they
Speaker 4: like yes a lot, and we figure is gonna end
Speaker 4: up back on the practice squad. But to your point,
Speaker 4: here's Jonathan Gannon talking to the media and just talking
Speaker 4: about the ever evolving fifty three man roster.
Speaker 7: The rosters in flux all the time, you know what
Speaker 7: I mean, And that goes back to we're going to
Speaker 7: try to do what's best we can for the team. Always,
Speaker 7: pieces gets shuffled around, pieces move who's up on game day,
Speaker 7: and it's not just the fifty three, it's the practice squad.
Speaker 7: It's how many guys are going to get a Jersey
Speaker 7: on Washington, the roles that they serve, there's a lot
Speaker 7: of things that go into that, and our guys.
Speaker 6: Know that, no doubt.
Speaker 4: And then today you had an offensive lineman claimed by
Speaker 4: the Cardinals, Carter O'Donnell from Indianapol. Yes, last three years,
Speaker 4: he's been up and down between the active roster and
Speaker 4: the practice squad. He's yet to play in a game.
Speaker 4: And then along with that, you had a couple of
Speaker 4: moves to the injured reserve my j Sanders with a hand,
Speaker 4: Dennis Daily with the ankle. So they're eligible to come
Speaker 4: back this year, but they must missed at least the
Speaker 4: first four games.
Speaker 1: PAULI, I think I want to go back to the
Speaker 1: original fifty three, if that's okay with you right now.
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of moving parts going on,
Speaker 1: but I thought it was interesting because they only they
Speaker 1: had fifty two on the roster, right, and that I
Speaker 1: found very interesting because they kept twenty three offensively and
Speaker 1: twenty seven defensively in two the punter and the kicker,
Speaker 1: of course, two on special teams. And they cut their
Speaker 1: deep snapper we all know that, of course, and Aaron
Speaker 1: Brewer they let him go, and of course they're going
Speaker 1: to sign him back, and I think they have already
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, and he's going to be activated,
Speaker 1: I'm sure come game time. It's interesting that twenty three
Speaker 1: on the offense and twenty seven on the defense. I
Speaker 1: was really shocked by that inequity.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what does that tell you? Does that tell you
Speaker 4: they're trying to throw numbers at some of those question marks,
Speaker 4: some of those position groups on defense that are still unanswered, right,
Speaker 4: I mean, whether it's that backup safety or the cornerback position,
Speaker 4: whether Marco Wilson is available at Dennis Gardek was out
Speaker 4: on the field this week. But what exactly are you
Speaker 4: looking at it? Outside linebacker defensive line. You know, they're
Speaker 4: trying to throw bodies at that solution, but what's that
Speaker 4: rotation ultimately going to be. I don't know what sort
Speaker 4: of conclusion can you draw from that, if any.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, once again, I think to your point,
Speaker 1: that's what it had to be. But typically a lot
Speaker 1: of teams are not in the practice of saying, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: we don't have a ton of edge players, so let's
Speaker 1: keep a ton of edge players. Either they're going to
Speaker 1: be good enough to actually play at this level or
Speaker 1: they're not going to be good enough. I thought it
Speaker 1: was really really an interesting tactic. And at Paully to
Speaker 1: your point, you know, Manti assen Fort and JG they've
Speaker 1: got a reason why they did what they did. They
Speaker 1: kept seven defensive linemen. Now think about that, seven defensive
Speaker 1: linemen on the act of fifty three, and we didn't
Speaker 1: think defensive line was a very deep position for them.
Speaker 1: And they kept seven edge players as well, And we
Speaker 1: don't look at the edge and think the Cardinals are
Speaker 1: loaded on the edge right there, fourteen players they kept,
Speaker 1: even the inside linebacker. And I can understand this a
Speaker 1: lot because of the special teams element that comes into play,
Speaker 1: but five inside linebackers were kept as well. I just
Speaker 1: was very surprised to see more defensive players, considerably more
Speaker 1: than offense.
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought that up because I had this
Speaker 4: out with Darren Urban during Cardinals Underground the podcast. Well,
Speaker 4: Combat Vy san Calvic, but wait a minute, it's a
Speaker 4: three to four. Why are you surprised there's seven outside linebackers?
Speaker 4: And my rime response was, well, I sort of view
Speaker 4: to Jesse Luketta and Victor d. Mukage as the same player.
Speaker 6: It's either or.
Speaker 4: I sort of looked at an Owen Papo and Ezekiel
Speaker 4: Turner as either or. But I know these guys are
Speaker 4: instrumental on special teams.
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 4: You know there's a Chris Barnes in that inside linebacker
Speaker 4: room as well.
Speaker 6: So sure we'll see.
Speaker 4: And they're continuing to add players and then players are
Speaker 4: continually cut. I get it, but we're burying the lead here.
Speaker 4: The big move, obviously that got national attention was the
Speaker 4: release of Colt McCoy and the trade for Josh Dobbs.
Speaker 4: And we were on the air this time last week
Speaker 4: when it all came down. They gave up a fifth
Speaker 4: round pick to Cleveland. They brought in Josh Dobbs, who
Speaker 4: has familiarity both with the offensive coordinator Drew Petsen, who
Speaker 4: was a quarterbacks coach the last couple of years in Cleveland,
Speaker 4: Israel Wolfork, the current quarterbacks coach, and then of course
Speaker 4: the GM Monijasin Ford, who signed Josh Dobbs in Tennessee
Speaker 4: to start the last two games of last season. So
Speaker 4: just your takeaway on that acquisition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paulie, you know, once again I thought that Colt
Speaker 1: McCoy was going to be the starting quarterback going into
Speaker 1: week one, largely because of who he is as a leader,
Speaker 1: how long he's been in the league, the fact that
Speaker 1: he's one of the better minds, of course in the
Speaker 1: National Football League in regard to seeing every defense known
Speaker 1: to man and maybe executing every offense known to man
Speaker 1: as well. I thought it was going to be his
Speaker 1: experience largely that would take him into week number one
Speaker 1: as the starter. That is not the case. And I
Speaker 1: think you are very familiar as to why. I know
Speaker 1: you have your own take on this and your own
Speaker 1: beliefs on this, and I think you're right on it, PAULI.
Speaker 1: But now that that is the case, and we know
Speaker 1: that Colt McCoy has been released, bringing in Josh Dobbs,
Speaker 1: I thought was very very interesting. This is a guy
Speaker 1: that is a rocket scientist. Of course we all know that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, anytime you hear a code say
Speaker 1: it's not rocket science, guess what he means it when
Speaker 1: he's talking to Josh Dobbs, No doubt about it. So
Speaker 1: you know, once again, it's going to be interesting to
Speaker 1: see how this quarterback battle shakes out going forward. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a faith to compleae. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a done deal that Josh Dobbs is going to
Speaker 1: be the starter going into week one. But once again,
Speaker 1: I thought Colt McCoy was going to be the starter.
Speaker 4: And yeah, Josh Doabbs has a degree in aerospace engineering
Speaker 4: from Tennessee and he's done internships with NASA through the
Speaker 4: NFL Players Association. So big brain, big big brain on
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs has no doubt about it. In fact, speaking
Speaker 4: of who is QB one, I firmly believe it's his
Speaker 4: job to lose. When Dobbs was asked about that, he
Speaker 4: simply said, you know what, I put those expectations on myself.
Speaker 8: Every time myself in the building, I put starting expectations
Speaker 8: on myself. So I know the QB situation is going
Speaker 8: to play out however the coaches see fit. But for me,
Speaker 8: you not come in ready to compete every single day.
Speaker 6: I push myself.
Speaker 8: But also, you know, approached the room in that way,
Speaker 8: and so I'm excited to be a part of it
Speaker 8: and be a part of the team.
Speaker 4: And I thought that it was Colt McCoy's job to
Speaker 4: lose as well. And that's exactly what happened in Minnesota
Speaker 4: during the two joint practices.
Speaker 5: Wolf.
Speaker 4: I just think that he did not slam the door
Speaker 4: shut and make up the mind of the decision makers
Speaker 4: to the during those two joint practices were actually, we're
Speaker 4: more regular season football then you would get in a
Speaker 4: preseason game. He was going against starters. Brian Flores was
Speaker 4: dialing it up, giving him regular season looks. It didn't
Speaker 4: go real well, it improved a little bit on Thursday.
Speaker 4: But if you listened to the Cardinals and they told
Speaker 4: the media they had interest in Josh Dobbs the entirety
Speaker 4: of the offseason, my guess is they got done with
Speaker 4: that second practice, said you know what, we got to
Speaker 4: pull the trigger. Cleveland didn't want to let him go.
Speaker 4: In fact, they even named him the backup quarterback beyond
Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson, and about three hours after he was named
Speaker 4: the number two quarterback, the deal was done and he
Speaker 4: was going to Arizona and Dorian Thompson Rominson, the UCA rookie,
Speaker 4: moved up the depth chart in Cleveland and for a
Speaker 4: fifth round pick, Boom, he is property of the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I'll say about that quickly is
Speaker 1: guess what that was. Great leverage by the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: to say always our backup quarterback. By the way, we'll
Speaker 1: take a fifth round pick.

Speaker 4: Pro safety Buddha Baker. It's available now via your preferred
Speaker 4: podcast provider. Get the latest updates via Twitter at hash pod.
Speaker 4: All right, we're just getting started on the whole QB
Speaker 4: one thing. To your point, I think Clayton tune is
Speaker 4: definitely in the mix. What happened this preseason that might
Speaker 4: improve his odds. We'll get to that, and I'm gonna
Speaker 4: make a comparison josh Dobbs to a current NFL quarterback
Speaker 4: when we come back the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 4: Santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 2: Shatka.
Speaker 9: Dobbs third and six steps up throws a k ball
Speaker 9: top Treo card.
Speaker 4: With the gram a rainbow from Toms.
Speaker 1: Great job by Joshua Dobbs to be able to deliver
Speaker 1: the football to the outside for McMath to be able
Speaker 1: to haul to the turf.
Speaker 9: As he's catching the ball tops deep drop, He'll throw
Speaker 9: to the near side, catch me.
Speaker 7: What turns it up?
Speaker 2: Mail for the touchdown.
Speaker 9: Joshua Toms coun time and delivers for the score. It
Speaker 9: is the first NFL touchdown for Joshua Dobbs.
Speaker 4: In his first career NFL start. Joshua Dobbs at is
Speaker 4: IGN Eagle Westwood won. That was the end of last season,
Speaker 4: second to last game of the season. In fact, he
Speaker 4: started the final two games of the year for the
Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans. Did not have a lot of talent around him,
Speaker 4: the worst receivers room in the league, and he still
Speaker 4: went out there and those two games combined forty to
Speaker 4: sixty eight passing, four to eleven through the air, two touchdowns,
Speaker 4: two picks. Passer rating his seventy four. He was sacked
Speaker 4: six times, had a long of thirty nine yards, ran
Speaker 4: it eight times for forty four yards. We'll get into
Speaker 4: that in a minute. It's a big Red Rage presented
Speaker 4: by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are santan Ford, Paul Kelvic,
Speaker 4: Ron Wolfley, and Josh Dopps, a guy who was big
Speaker 4: time in the SEC. Ron Wolfly did you know a
Speaker 4: fun Factory. He's one of three quarterbacks in SEC history
Speaker 4: to throw for fifteen plus touchdowns and rush for ten
Speaker 4: plus touchdowns in multiple seasons. The others Tim Tebow and
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good company right there, Pauli.
Speaker 4: And there's another one where he's like one of four
Speaker 4: in SEC history, and then the fourth one is Johnny Manziel,
Speaker 4: So he's got some elite company in SEC history. Josh Dobbs,
Speaker 4: he was a fourth round pick seven years ago by
Speaker 4: the Steelers, was a backup to Big Ben. He's look,
Speaker 4: he's with U sixteen. Cardinals are his sixteen. He's never
Speaker 4: really had that chance to flourish. And I'm gonna throw
Speaker 4: out this out there. You might want to take my
Speaker 4: car keys. I'm just gonna throw it out there. This
Speaker 4: is the absolute upside, best case scenario.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 4: Geno Smith, Okay, a guy, Geno Smith who sat for
Speaker 4: seven years in fact, actually when eight years between opening
Speaker 4: day starts. Geno Smith, but after watching for all those years,
Speaker 4: came out balled out last year, went to the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: He was just rated the number seventy seven player in
Speaker 4: the top one hundred in the NFL. From obscurity to
Speaker 4: all of a sudden the starting franchise quarterback for the
Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks. Now, that would be a crazy set of
Speaker 4: expectations to put on Josh Dopps. But if you listen
Speaker 4: to him, and you listen to the way he talks
Speaker 4: to the media about what he learned in those two starts,
Speaker 4: I think the Cardinals are at least intrigued enough to
Speaker 4: give up that fifth round pick and run him out
Speaker 4: there against Washington week one.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe that is going to be the case, PAULI.
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. But always keep in
Speaker 1: mind that Josh Dobbs did not go to West by
Speaker 1: God Virginia. Okay, sat On, he's got that while he's
Speaker 1: got that working against him right now, Paully. But the
Speaker 1: one thing we do know about Josh Dobbs, he is
Speaker 1: a rocket scientist. Once again, this is a guy that
Speaker 1: is incredibly smart. You know what's amazing about this, PAULI,
Speaker 1: When when you really stop and think about it, and
Speaker 1: this was something that Josh Dobbs was actually talking about.
Speaker 1: But quarterback is probably the most difficult position to play
Speaker 1: in all of professional sports. Would you agree with that? Okay,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It is so cerebral, It is
Speaker 1: intensive when it comes to understanding the game of course,
Speaker 1: and being involved in the offense and calling the offense.
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable, and yet I would imagine being a
Speaker 1: rocket scientist Polly is ten times harder than that. There's
Speaker 1: not a lot of situations that you can look at
Speaker 1: and say, man, you know what, this rocket science stuff
Speaker 1: is easy compared to something else. So I think this
Speaker 1: is going to be actually something that Josh Dobbs is
Speaker 1: going to be able to help not only himself, but
Speaker 1: also the other guys that are inside that room, and
Speaker 1: help Drew Patsing as well. These quarterbacks learn the offense well.
Speaker 4: His Meat and Great press conference with the media, Cam
Speaker 4: Cox from Channel twelve. Cam He asked him, He said,
Speaker 4: does it help playing quarterback to be a rocket scientist?
Speaker 4: Sort of half joking, half serious, and Dobbs said, absolutely
Speaker 4: it does because it's the ultimate problem solving position in
Speaker 4: all of the sports, quarterback.
Speaker 6: So if you want to know.
Speaker 4: About smart and high IQ, how about asking a guy
Speaker 4: from stand right, zach Ertz here on his first impression
Speaker 4: of Josh Dobbs.
Speaker 10: Yay, smart, obviously, I think that's well noted. He's an
Speaker 10: astronaut or whatever he is. He the guy that understands football.
Speaker 10: He's played a lot of football. He's got a really
Speaker 10: good grasp of this offense. Obviously he's played it in
Speaker 10: the past, so him coming into the huddle, calling the plays,
Speaker 10: calling the formations has been seamless so far. And he
Speaker 10: throws a very catch football, which as a receiver you like.
Speaker 4: And look in the past, he's had the nickname past
Speaker 4: or not though even though he's an aerospace engineer, he's
Speaker 4: not actually an astronaut. But it's good stuff. Okay, you
Speaker 4: know who quibbles with some of the fine details. It's
Speaker 4: great stuff, and that's probably where he's going once he's
Speaker 4: done playing ball. But he's aged twenty eight and he
Speaker 4: feels like he does have some good ball ahead of him.
Speaker 1: I just love that, Paul, I really do, because once
Speaker 1: again I would imagine just rocket science, Paul, and I
Speaker 1: keep calling it that, but you know what, it's just
Speaker 1: too good because coaches always saying this isn't rocket science, okay,
Speaker 1: but it just to me, that's got to be really,
Speaker 1: really hard. Is it possible that he looks at at
Speaker 1: rocket science and going, man, that's that's really hard. Quarterback
Speaker 1: in the NFL not so hard to learn, you know,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So that that to me
Speaker 1: is an interesting dynamic because most of the time a
Speaker 1: human being is looking at quarterback in the National Football
Speaker 1: League going, Matt, this is this is involved. This is hard.
Speaker 1: I've got to know all sorts of matchups and alterations
Speaker 1: and checks and audibles that I've got to be ready
Speaker 1: to call at a drop of a hat. And remembering
Speaker 1: all that, of course, and the concepts that go behind it.
Speaker 1: None of that comes anywhere close to what Josh Dobbs
Speaker 1: is probably going to be doing for NASA when he's
Speaker 1: done so tech.
Speaker 2: I would imagine that helps him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, take all that, all the all the challenges you
Speaker 4: just cited, and he has a two week timeframe to
Speaker 4: get ready to be the Cardinals starting quarterback against the
Speaker 4: Washington defensive front on the road that features four first
Speaker 4: round picks. Okay, think about all that. And when he
Speaker 4: was asked about he was completely unfazed. He actually said,
Speaker 4: and he was dead serious.
Speaker 7: Nah.
Speaker 4: Really, what gives me stress in this whole situation is
Speaker 4: I'm in a new town. Where am I gonna eat dinner?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: Where am I going to figure out? Where am I
Speaker 4: going out? Because I don't know the town. So that
Speaker 4: combined with the fact he's been there and done that,
Speaker 4: just the end of last season. He had eight days
Speaker 4: notice after he was signed by the Titans and then
Speaker 4: started two games at the end of the year. He
Speaker 4: didn't even know that system, at least this system. He
Speaker 4: knows the offensive coordinator, Drew Petsing real well. In fact,
Speaker 4: he was asked about the importance of that.
Speaker 8: You know, I spent a lot of time with Drew
Speaker 8: last year as he was my QB coach in Cleveland,
Speaker 8: and so coming into that offense, learning that offense from
Speaker 8: him and now coming here and getting his own spinning
Speaker 8: variation is very unique, especially with the relationship that we
Speaker 8: had as well as he was in that room as well.
Speaker 8: So it's good to have that relationship, especially quarterback to
Speaker 8: play caller right and understanding why he's calling plays, why
Speaker 8: he's installing plays, what variation he's put on the offense
Speaker 8: is why he's doing that, and so it makes it
Speaker 8: as smooth as a transition as it can be. But
Speaker 8: there always are different bumps in the road that you
Speaker 8: have to manage and navigate.
Speaker 4: And it's not like he's coming off his couch. Okay,
Speaker 4: this isn't. Forty five year old Vinnie Testa verdies some
Speaker 4: twenty years ago showing up on a Wednesday and trying
Speaker 4: to play on Sunday. He went through the entirety of
Speaker 4: training camp. He knows this system, so that definitely gives
Speaker 4: him advantage. Now, obviously didn't take a single snap and
Speaker 4: the preseason wasn't there for any of the Cardinals camps,
Speaker 4: so it's very unique, there's no question about it. But
Speaker 4: there was a quote from Jonathan Gannon and he said
Speaker 4: this multiple times Wolf when asked about Josh Dobbs and
Speaker 4: what intrigues him about the quarterback, what he likes, and
Speaker 4: the first thing he cites is, and I'm quoting him,
Speaker 4: he can make plays inside and outside the pocket. I
Speaker 4: think that's more important to the head coach than we realize.
Speaker 4: I think that was a factor in moving on from
Speaker 4: Colt McCoy. I think that's the reason they are intrigued
Speaker 4: by Clayton Tune. He does have enough mobility. He did
Speaker 4: run for quite a few yards at Houston. Saw him,
Speaker 4: especially in those Vikings joint practices. Get away from that
Speaker 4: Vikings pass rush, extend the play in fuying guys downfield.
Speaker 4: Those are aspects that were not in Colt McCoy's game
Speaker 4: at this point in his career.
Speaker 2: Pauli.
Speaker 1: It's a great observation once again, because when you think
Speaker 1: about it, to your point, you've got Josh Dobbs and
Speaker 1: his mobility, and you've got Clayton Tune and we all
Speaker 1: saw it in the preseason his mobility as well, and
Speaker 1: at some point in time when Kyler comes back his
Speaker 1: mobility right there, that's certainly not a coincidence. That is
Speaker 1: definitely JG looking for the same kind of skill set
Speaker 1: where maybe you can be a dual threat a run
Speaker 1: pass quarterback, of course, as a lot of quarterbacks are
Speaker 1: in the NFL today, but also too, JG was talking
Speaker 1: about command and production, those two things specifically command and production,
Speaker 1: and you just know that Josh.
Speaker 2: Dobbs has got command, Paulie.
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to step into a high
Speaker 1: you have to speak clearly, you've got to speak loudly,
Speaker 1: and you've got to know what you're calling in the huddle.
Speaker 1: You've got to know it, and you've got to know
Speaker 1: a lot of the other guys' jobs on that certain
Speaker 1: play and help them out if they forget it. And
Speaker 1: you also have to have command of the offense to
Speaker 1: a point where you might want to challenge a coach
Speaker 1: on the sideline saying, let's not run that play, Let's
Speaker 1: run this play. And to me, that's not the worst
Speaker 1: thing that can happen for an offense. To have your
Speaker 1: quarterback understand it as well as the coach understands it
Speaker 1: is a huge advantage, and Josh Dobbs seems to be
Speaker 1: a guy that might be able to do that.
Speaker 4: And again, I firmly think, and this is just my belief,
Speaker 4: it's definitely his job to lose. That being the case,
Speaker 4: it is being termed a quarterback competition right now with
Speaker 4: Clayton Tune. Do you think that is a possibility Clayton
Speaker 4: Tuone actually be eating out of Josh Dobbs. I mean,
Speaker 4: what sort of realistic chance do you attach to that?
Speaker 2: I love that, bully.
Speaker 1: That's a great question right there, really is, because tell
Speaker 1: me when Kyler Murray's coming back, Because honestly, right now,
Speaker 1: if you were to tell me this, and I know
Speaker 1: nothing about this, and there's been no leak about this whatsoever,
Speaker 1: but if Kyler Murray was coming back week five, let's
Speaker 1: just say that against the Cincinnati Bengals, he was coming
Speaker 1: back week five, you know what I'd want to see
Speaker 1: Clayton tune. As much as I could possibly see Clayton tone,
Speaker 1: I'd want to give him as many reps as we
Speaker 1: possibly could before Kyler would get back. But that not
Speaker 1: being the case. We don't know that Kyler Murray's coming
Speaker 1: back in week five. So now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I think you're going to throw it up to say, hey,
Speaker 1: let's find out who commands this offense the best over
Speaker 1: these two weeks and who looks like they're capable of
Speaker 1: providing production.
Speaker 4: Look, you called all three preseason games right vance Joseph
Speaker 4: Steve Spagnolo and than Brian Flores. Were those vanilla schemes?
Speaker 4: They they brought it right? Yes, times, they really.
Speaker 6: Dialed it up. I asked.
Speaker 4: I asked the head coach about that today, and he agreed.
Speaker 4: He said that was not vanilla football. He said that
Speaker 4: Clayton saw a lot and he benefited from him because,
Speaker 4: you know what, he got more of a regular season
Speaker 4: read on what NFL football is all about being a quarterback,
Speaker 4: trying to diagnose and decide as a quarterback. So, okay,
Speaker 4: how much more regular season ready does that make a
Speaker 4: Clayton tune?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, if Brock Perdy would have played in Week
Speaker 4: one instead of Week twelve last year? Would things have
Speaker 4: been different? Was he ready from Week one? Single game

Speaker 6: How about Buddha Baker on the Pash Pot.
Speaker 4: We're gonna visit some of that next on the Big
Speaker 4: Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 9: Picked off with the thirty by Buddha running back the
Speaker 9: other way forty fifty forty Baker thirty.
Speaker 4: Cuts right, pent tackled at the twenty five?
Speaker 5: What art?
Speaker 2: What rents?
Speaker 6: Budha Baker?
Speaker 5: This guy's unbelievable discipline, accountability, A team that's just gonna
Speaker 5: play very fast, a team that doesn't care about what
Speaker 5: anybody else thinks. Everybody that's in that circle, everybody that's
Speaker 5: in that huddle, those are the only ones that matter,
Speaker 5: and we're just gonna play football at a high level.
Speaker 5: I definitely believe that one hundred of strength.
Speaker 4: Is Dave Pash on the call Huda Baker with a
Speaker 4: SoundBite there from the Dave Pash Podcast, which has just
Speaker 4: dropped great stuff from the Cardinals All Pro safety talking
Speaker 4: about his game, just the reset of this Cardinals roster
Speaker 4: where he believes the team is going what's in store
Speaker 4: this season, and we'll review some of that here on
Speaker 4: the Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 4: We are santan Ford, Paul calvic Ron Wolfley. I don't
Speaker 4: know about you, Wolf because you're over in the TV booth, right,
Speaker 4: you're over in the high end real estate part of
Speaker 4: the You know, I'm just over there, Hamm and Egger,
Speaker 4: you know me and Drew Stanton J.
Speaker 6: Feely. Okay, you know, looking down there.
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll get an acknowledgment from you and pass as
Speaker 4: you guys go all Hollywood over there. But here's mode
Speaker 4: I always discover in the preseason watching, is you forget
Speaker 4: you forget how automatic a Buddha Baker and a Jalen
Speaker 4: Thompson are with the open field tackling. And then when
Speaker 4: you see other safeties out there, backup safeties, dare I say,
Speaker 4: lesser safeties, and you see how many tackles are missed
Speaker 4: in space, and you just get a newfound appreciation for
Speaker 4: your Pro Bowl caliber safeties that the Cardinals start every game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pully, Yeah, you're so right about that they're called
Speaker 1: safeties for a reason. They are the last line of
Speaker 1: defense literally typically when you've got to make a tackle
Speaker 1: or somebody's going to score a touchdown. And that's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why, for the longest time, of course,
Speaker 1: some of the best tacklers on your team, open field
Speaker 1: tacklers had to be safeties, and Buddha Baker certainly is that.
Speaker 1: I'll take Buddha Baker, I'll take him out. I don't
Speaker 1: care if he's in the box. I don't care if
Speaker 1: he's coming down from the secondary, coming down and filling
Speaker 1: the D gap. I don't care what it is that
Speaker 1: he's doing right now. Buddha Baker is the guy that
Speaker 1: I want out on the field. In Jalen Thompson, the
Speaker 1: respect that I have for him, here's a guy that
Speaker 1: we know, Paul. You can line up, you can put
Speaker 1: him over the number three receiver, you can put him
Speaker 1: over that slot receiver, and he's going to hold up
Speaker 1: like a corner. It's such a huge advantage to have
Speaker 1: a guy that is not only a good tackler, not
Speaker 1: only is a safety like Jalen Thompson, but also a
Speaker 1: guy you can move to that nickel corner spot.
Speaker 2: That's huge, you know.
Speaker 4: Talking about scheme, I know you said many times that, Okay,
Speaker 4: certain players really thrive in certain schemes.
Speaker 6: Not Buddha Baker.
Speaker 4: Playing virtue anything you throw out there. His new defensive coordinator,
Speaker 4: thirty year old Nick Rowless, and and Dave asked Buddha
Speaker 4: Baker just on working with the new young DC.
Speaker 5: You know, I will say Nick is a narrative football.
Speaker 5: He really knows the game.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: He makes it very easy for the players to understand
Speaker 5: the game within the calls. Guys, are you know, able
Speaker 5: to understand it and play fast? And at the end
Speaker 5: of the day, that's what he wants us to do.
Speaker 5: He wants us to know what we're doing and after
Speaker 5: that and just play as fast as we can because
Speaker 5: we have the talent, we have the players to play fast,
Speaker 5: and you know, he kind of gives it upon us
Speaker 5: to of course know our job and then just play
Speaker 5: football after that.
Speaker 4: Buddha Baker in the Day Pasch podcast. You know a
Speaker 4: little bit we've come to learn about Nick Rowless. His
Speaker 4: fellow coaches call him quote at assassin, So I'll take
Speaker 4: that as he's going to be ultra aggressive this year.
Speaker 4: Is that the gut feeling you get. We haven't seen
Speaker 4: him in action and regular season action yet, but what
Speaker 4: do you expect in terms of this scheme. We've talked
Speaker 4: a lot about the offense, what about the defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great observation right there, Pauli. I would
Speaker 1: say this right here. If you're always blitzing, if you're
Speaker 1: always coming after, if you're always the assassin, doesn't that
Speaker 1: make it more likely that a team will be more
Speaker 1: prepared for you to do it. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be a pick and choose. I could be wrong
Speaker 1: on this, Paul, I really could, But you know, surprise
Speaker 1: and the element of surprise is also now that seems
Speaker 1: to be nick rawlis to me right now. I love
Speaker 1: the fact that Buddha is talking about know your job
Speaker 1: and to be able to play fast. Typically you don't
Speaker 1: have a ton of checks in a defense like that.
Speaker 1: When you're able to go out there and play fast typically,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're simplifying your defense, and maybe that's
Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know. He is aggressive. We
Speaker 1: all know he's aggressive. I love the fact he puts
Speaker 1: his hood up when he's actually calling a game.
Speaker 2: But you know, I love that ball. He looks like.
Speaker 1: An assassin, no doubt about that. But you know, again,
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how he does
Speaker 1: this because just like the offense, where you have to
Speaker 1: tailor your offense with the talent you have, it's the
Speaker 1: same thing defensively. You just can't go willy nilly aggressive.
Speaker 1: You've got to have corners that will hold up with
Speaker 1: that aggression as well. And just don't know if you're
Speaker 1: going to be quite as aggressive with that defense from
Speaker 1: the get.
Speaker 6: No, it's a great observation.
Speaker 4: And look, whether it's Buddha, Jalen, Thompson, Zavi and Collins,
Speaker 4: we've all heard him over the last few months talk
Speaker 4: about how they feel more free. That's the word they use.
Speaker 4: Free to play in this scheme that JG and Nick
Speaker 4: Rolis don't give the players every possible outcome of every
Speaker 4: possible play that's going to be run by the offense,
Speaker 4: they're going to have to think and react. They want
Speaker 4: that quick reaction time. They don't want them to hesitate
Speaker 4: at all because they're wondering, Okay, which one of an
Speaker 4: infinite number of checks am I going into. And so
Speaker 4: that's interesting to see how that plays out. In the
Speaker 4: field speaking of the defensive quarter of Nick Rollis. Be
Speaker 4: sure to tune in top of the hour premiere of
Speaker 4: the latest episode of Cardinals flight Plan. That's tonight at
Speaker 4: seven on the Cardinals YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash
Speaker 4: az Cardinals, and they're going to take you beyond the scenes.
Speaker 4: Rawllis the OC Drew Petsen, Special teams coordinator Jeff Rogers
Speaker 4: all during training camp and the preseason, the joint practices
Speaker 4: with the Vikings, so emmy award winning stuff. Every time
Speaker 4: you tune in flight Plan That's tonight at seven. As
Speaker 4: for Buddha, back to the Day Past podcast, we thought
Speaker 4: this was intriguing what he told Dave just about his
Speaker 4: off season regiment.
Speaker 5: After the Pro Bowl. I kind of just set my
Speaker 5: mind on working hard and getting my body right. And
Speaker 5: you know, of course I gained about fifteen pounds of
Speaker 5: muscle sprinting, My acceleration has all gotten better, as fast
Speaker 5: as I've ever been, as quick as I've ever been,
Speaker 5: as strong as I've ever been, can jump higher than
Speaker 5: I ever have, and you know, I just feel very healthy,
Speaker 5: feel very blessed to you know, put that work in
Speaker 5: and you know the season's coming up. The season's here,
Speaker 5: I'm definitely excited to showcase that. Wow.
Speaker 4: I mean, if he's new and improved like that, we're
Speaker 4: talking about a five time Pro bol or two time
Speaker 4: All Pro safety, a guy who over the last five
Speaker 4: years has more than one hundred tackles beyond any other
Speaker 4: safety in the NFL. I mean, like, get your popcorn ready.
Speaker 1: Right, fifteen pounds of muscle Paul on and a guy
Speaker 1: like Buddha Baker, you.
Speaker 4: Know, I mean, and he has all the same speed
Speaker 4: and agility. I've told you how many times in the
Speaker 4: sideline you're like.
Speaker 6: Whoa where did that guy come from? Wow?
Speaker 4: And it was Buddha Baker. I mean, just you know,
Speaker 4: like you say, running into the darkness, it is.
Speaker 2: Paul, There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: I just don't know a lot of guys that are
Speaker 1: under two hundred pounds, And I know Buddha is hovering
Speaker 1: right around there, But I don't know a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that could put on fifteen pounds. Now, if you
Speaker 1: were two hundred and fifty pounds, yeah, you know, and
Speaker 1: I put on fifteen pounds of muscle, I can understand
Speaker 1: that if you were two hundred and eighty pounds yeah,
Speaker 1: I needed to get to three hundred and I put
Speaker 1: on muscle, and a lot of guys have done that before.
Speaker 1: But you know, when you come into the league and
Speaker 1: you weigh one hundred and ninety pounds or one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty five pounds, you know, typically you're not putting
Speaker 1: non fifteen pounds and Buddha Baker certainly is doing that
Speaker 1: right now. That to me, if he's accurate on that, Polly,
Speaker 1: what an incredible thing that's going to be because right
Speaker 1: now he's already a guy that will wipe you out.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine fifteen pounds of muscle he's on him now?
Speaker 4: He's listed at one ninety four, So if we were
Speaker 4: to think he was playing around oneint eighty in the
Speaker 4: last couple of years, that would make sense. And so okay,
Speaker 4: I mean I believe him. I don't think he's embellishing.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's exaggerating on that. So hello, we
Speaker 4: all want to see what that looks like. There's no question,
Speaker 4: you know, by the way, speaking in the safety spot,
Speaker 4: when you look at some of the waiver claims, it's
Speaker 4: hard not to notice Keevon Wallace, who just spent the
Speaker 4: last three years with the Eagles with Jonathan Gann and
Speaker 4: Nick Rowlis twenty twenty round four pick out of Clemson.
Speaker 4: He's played forty five games, seven starts. Now you put
Speaker 4: him theoretically, I would presume, because you and I have
Speaker 4: a lot of depth of safety obviously after trading away
Speaker 4: Isaiah Simmons and cutting Javontae Moffatt. So now Keavon Wallace
Speaker 4: joins a Jalen Thompson and a Buddha Baker.
Speaker 6: That's critical. Isn't a wolf because you might you might
Speaker 6: have JT in the slot?
Speaker 2: Is your nickel? Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: And you know, it also tells me that maybe there's
Speaker 1: something else as well that is coming. Maybe there's another
Speaker 1: shoe that is going to drop right here. We'll have
Speaker 1: to wait and see the other thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: say quickly, Paully, I am so encouraged and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic about the defensive line. The defensive line in
Speaker 1: particular with l J. Collier, Lucky Fotwo and Jonathan Ledbetter. Paully,
Speaker 1: I think these guys we were looking for it in
Speaker 1: the preseason game, that first preseason game against the Bronck
Speaker 1: of course, and then against the Chiefs, we were looking
Speaker 1: for it, and man, when they were in there, there
Speaker 1: was gap integrity. There was no doubt about it. And
Speaker 1: we've all all off season been waiting to see, Hey,
Speaker 1: is that going to be the case. We're thinking that
Speaker 1: teams are going to be able to line up and
Speaker 1: run the ball against the Cardinals, and how demoralizing it
Speaker 1: is when a team can just line up and run
Speaker 1: it down your throat, cram at vertical, so to speak.
Speaker 1: It's demoralizing. But what I saw in preseason man week
Speaker 1: number one, I'm gonna really be watching that to see
Speaker 1: if that same gap integrity with LJ. Collier, Lucky Foto
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Ledbetter, if that exists when they play Washington,
Speaker 1: that to me will encourage me so much if they
Speaker 1: can actually slow down the Commanders.
Speaker 4: Because once again you lost half your sacks and JJ
Speaker 4: Watt and Zach Allen, So if you can get some penetration,
Speaker 4: you can get some pressure trying to collapse that middle
Speaker 4: from that pocket, from the middle, from the inside out.
Speaker 4: It's going to be so critical because you have some
Speaker 4: unproven outside linebackers right now and guys making transitions like
Speaker 4: a Zave and Collins, so I'm with you on that,
Speaker 4: no question about it. And you know what an LJ.
Speaker 4: Collier just taking him as an example, a womer first
Speaker 4: round pick who said that he was in a bad
Speaker 4: fit of a system in Seattle. So if it's a
Speaker 4: matter of that a LeKi Fotu was in a contract
Speaker 4: year and mandity play like it in Minnesota, he absolutely
Speaker 4: dominated the starting center for the Vikings, Garrett Bradbury and
Speaker 4: those one on one. So I'm with you, no doubt
Speaker 4: about it. But I'll tell you there's a few other
Speaker 4: waiver claims that came across in the last forty eight hours,
Speaker 4: and these might be some guys who might make an.
Speaker 6: Addition to the team.
Speaker 4: And there's some intriguing scanner reports that is next on
Speaker 4: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 11: Hi, I'm Christopher Andandez and I'm called lit Bikini and
Speaker 11: we're from ted Lasso, and we know I think or
Speaker 11: two about football. Now, this is American football, right, so
Speaker 11: we have no idea what we're doing here, but we having.
Speaker 6: Lots of fun.
Speaker 8: I moved one hundred and ninety seventh pick in the
Speaker 8: two posid and twenty three NFL Draft.
Speaker 11: The Miami Dolphins select Elijah Higgins tight end.
Speaker 2: Stanford's football is life.
Speaker 6: He's here, he's there, He's.
Speaker 4: Every freaking where Elijah Higgins. Elijah Higgins. Some great stuff
Speaker 4: that was from the actual draft of Elijah Higgins out
Speaker 4: of Stanford. Actors from Ted Lasso, while done, always enjoy
Speaker 4: that when they incorporate the world of entertainment into the
Speaker 4: NFL draft, especially on Day three, Wolf come on, there's
Speaker 4: always room from some extra entertainment. And guess what Cardinals
Speaker 4: I think are elated they got their hands on Elijah
Speaker 4: Higgins via a waivers considering he set some sort of
Speaker 4: record where five teams try to claim him, but the
Speaker 4: Cardinals of that number three slot, boom, they snap him
Speaker 4: and added him to the roster. As we wrap up
Speaker 4: this edition of The Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 4: Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI, and it's really interesting as well, because Elijah
Speaker 1: Higgins is six ' three and he's two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty five pounds. PAULI, if you could put on fifteen
Speaker 1: pounds right there, you know there's a guy that could
Speaker 1: be a stud tight end, could be a move tight
Speaker 1: end as well. Right now, I see him more as
Speaker 1: a move tight end at two hundred and thirty five pounds.
Speaker 1: But it's going to be really interesting to watch Elijah
Speaker 1: Higgins in his career and where it goes from here.
Speaker 4: He's a former receiver, Jonathan Gannon confirmed today. No, he's
Speaker 4: definitely a tight end. That's where the Cardinals are going
Speaker 4: to play him. But he had good speed for a receiver,
Speaker 4: much less a tight end, so he has that athleticism.
Speaker 4: What's intriguing too, if you had zoom out in that
Speaker 4: tight end room. I mean, well, if you have Jeff
Speaker 4: Swayman we had on last week, right, you're quintessential blocking
Speaker 4: tight end. You have Zach Ertz, you know, a multi
Speaker 4: pro bowler and just a master again downfield in the
Speaker 4: seams and reading coverage and great hands. And then Trey
Speaker 4: McBride and I don't know how you describe him necessarily,
Speaker 4: but we've seen him in the backfield more almost like
Speaker 4: an h back at times. But you have like four
Speaker 4: distinct skill sets a tight end in that room, don't you.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. Paully.
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of diversity right there, and I
Speaker 1: love that because you can be so versatile at that
Speaker 1: position right now. I look at Jeff Swain and you
Speaker 1: know this, Paully the way I value him, he is
Speaker 1: a true stud tight end. He's a guy that is
Speaker 1: going to be a true Why tight end. You can
Speaker 1: line him up on the tackles hip, on the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, hand in the dirt, and he can come
Speaker 1: off the ball and he can be an excellent blocker
Speaker 1: for you. And then you've got a guy like zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: who is the quintessential move tight end to me at
Speaker 1: this point in his career. For him to be a
Speaker 1: guy that is going to move, I think it's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why the Arizona Cardinals are going to
Speaker 1: be right up there at the very top in twelve
Speaker 1: personnel in rundown situations. I think they're going to be
Speaker 1: right at the top of the league because of that
Speaker 1: zach Ertz being able to move. And then I look
Speaker 1: at Trey McBride and I see a combination of Jeff
Speaker 1: swam in zach Ertz. I see a guy that could
Speaker 1: possibly develop into being a troop Why, a stud tight end,
Speaker 1: and a move tight end. So it's going to be
Speaker 1: really interesting to see how he develops. Of course, and
Speaker 1: that room is without a doubt, very versatile at this point.
Speaker 4: And at this point we don't know if zach Ertz
Speaker 4: is going to play Week one. Zach Ertz might know,
Speaker 4: he's not sharing with the media said it's uncertain as
Speaker 4: of right now, which is par for the course because
Speaker 4: you're not telling Washington anything. You're not trying to reveal
Speaker 4: who's playing, what sort of scheme you're playing, what the
Speaker 4: offense is going to look like. Do they have plans
Speaker 4: for an Elijah Higgins on game day? Will it be
Speaker 4: zach Ertz. We won't know until that Week one game now.
Speaker 4: As for other waiver claims, it was hard not to
Speaker 4: notice a couple of experienced offensive linemen they brought in
Speaker 4: Keith Ishmael and Tristan Cole Cologne, and these are guys
Speaker 4: who have started games in the NFL recently, especially at center,
Speaker 4: because behind Yelda Rojol, things were all thin on the
Speaker 4: depth chart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, Polly, It tells me once again,
Speaker 1: just looking at the moves that they made on that
Speaker 1: offensive line, and I would say in particular interior offensive line, Paulie,
Speaker 1: You know, that tells you where they aren't sure as
Speaker 1: to what they're going to be like and how they're
Speaker 1: going to do and where they're going to go. But
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting on the original fifty three.
Speaker 1: They only kept eight offensive linemen on the original fifty three,
Speaker 1: and that was really low to me because there are
Speaker 1: teams who will dress eight offensive linemen on game day,
Speaker 1: let alone how many they'll have on their roster right there.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting to see how this develops.
Speaker 1: But I think JG already said it. This roster is
Speaker 1: in a state of flux, and Paul, I think this
Speaker 1: roster is going to be in a state of flux
Speaker 1: all season long.
Speaker 4: So right now they're at ten in the offensive line room.
Speaker 4: Cologne has played twenty games with Baltimore.
Speaker 6: Over the last three years.
Speaker 4: Five starts at center, Keith Ishmael five starts at center,
Speaker 4: most recently with the Niners, played eighteen games over the.
Speaker 6: Last two years.
Speaker 4: And so then you put Dennis Dally on ir so
Speaker 4: you're at ten because you added Carter O'Donnell today from Indianapolis.
Speaker 4: He was cut and claimed and the Cardinals got him,
Speaker 4: and so, okay, he'd been up and down between the
Speaker 4: practice squad and the active roster. So we mentioned all that.
Speaker 4: That leaves Kevon Watts we are talking about and then
Speaker 4: the corner Starling Thomas from Detroit. What do you think
Speaker 4: about the corner position. That's a position group we haven't
Speaker 4: talked about. And where are you right now? Because Christian
Speaker 4: Matthew made this team we were wondering about that. It
Speaker 4: appears Marco Wilson and Key trawl Clark are your starters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with your assessment on that one, Polly
Speaker 1: right there, and I think we're probably going to see
Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton be that nickel corner right now. I could
Speaker 1: be wrong on that. Well, we'll find out, But that
Speaker 1: is if if we're talking about a roster that is
Speaker 1: in a state of flux, I think that dB room,
Speaker 1: that corner room in particular, is maybe the position room
Speaker 1: that is in the most state of flux right now
Speaker 1: because it is a very fluid situation, and Paul, I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be that way all season.
Speaker 4: Maybe the biggest surprise, I'll be honest, in the fifty
Speaker 4: three was Chris Boyd is still on this roster and
Speaker 4: he's been a heck of a special team standout, and
Speaker 4: I'm guessing that has a lot to do with his
Speaker 4: standing on this team.
