Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show, and Ron will flee. It
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that horn. Unleash the far well.
Speaker 1: The talking is over the players and coaches. They are
Speaker 1: done talking at Super Bowl fifty five. No moss when
Speaker 1: it comes to the media access you know what, No
Speaker 1: more reporters. It's all ball until Super Sunday. Ron Wolfley,
Speaker 1: also known as the Final forty eight. Paully, We've got
Speaker 1: you covered though. Here We've got the original Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 1: If we do say so ourselves here on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are
Speaker 1: santan Ford, so we've got you covered fifty two weeks
Speaker 1: per year. It is the Big Red Rage and Wolf.
Speaker 1: There was actually other sounds coming out of Tampa today
Speaker 1: as Bruce Arians actually fired up crowd noise, actually pumped
Speaker 1: in crowd noise at practice because lo and behold, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be twenty five thousand or so fans at that
Speaker 1: stadium on Sunday. So just in case for the first
Speaker 1: time all year. Oh, I don't know, you might have
Speaker 1: to go into a silent account. Perhaps, Yeah, Paully, not
Speaker 1: only that too. Did you seem to actually practiced this
Speaker 1: week where they went ahead and went out on the
Speaker 1: field and they practiced, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they went in and did nothing inside they took twenty
Speaker 1: six minutes off because that's how long it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be the halftime, twenty six Did you see that, Paulie.
Speaker 1: I did not see that, but that is true. And
Speaker 1: then they came out, Yes, they came back out and
Speaker 1: practiced again. Let me tell you, we were both there.
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty three did a lot longer than twenty
Speaker 1: six minutes, forty six minutes. Well, do you remember at
Speaker 1: the time, at the time super Bowl forty three, the halftime,
Speaker 1: it was the longest halftime in the history of the
Speaker 1: NFL at the time, and that was after James Harrison.
Speaker 1: You know what happened. I never knew that. I never
Speaker 1: knew that that was the longest halftime on record at
Speaker 1: the time. And of course it makes sense. Bruce Springsteen
Speaker 1: is known for three plus hour concerts, so that totally
Speaker 1: makes sense. It just did to be able to sit there,
Speaker 1: just to half to sit there. I guess the Cardinals
Speaker 1: are watching James Harrison return it all the way for
Speaker 1: a touchdown when they were getting ready to go in
Speaker 1: and score. Now, all of a sudden, James Harrison takes
Speaker 1: it back and he scores that legendary touchdown in that
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Are you kidding me? You had to sit
Speaker 1: on that for the longest amount of time ever in
Speaker 1: Super Bowl history at halftime. I wasn't in a good
Speaker 1: mood at halftime, you know, I was. In fact, I
Speaker 1: was given a few of the photographer's little elbow trying
Speaker 1: to get some space there to watch the Boss while
Speaker 1: I was doing the halftime show on the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: radio network. When are you in a good mood? Paul
Speaker 1: Bruce put me in a good mood though, and then
Speaker 1: the second half did until the final two thirty seven
Speaker 1: of the game or whatever it was, exactly Wolf. We
Speaker 1: have quarterback news here, and I'm not talking about Cole
Speaker 1: McDonald who's signed with the Cardinals to a futures contract,
Speaker 1: the former Hawaii contract, the quarterback news in the NFC West.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Matthew Stafford going obviously in the Mondo
Speaker 1: trade to the Rams. I haven't heard your reaction yet.
Speaker 1: Let us know here on the Big Red. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say this right now, Polly. It's it's not a
Speaker 1: great thing. I'm not happy to see Matthew Stafford come in.
Speaker 1: But what did shock you to know that Jared Goff
Speaker 1: actually has a higher career quarterback rating than Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: Would that shock wow a little bit? Matthew Stafford doesn't
Speaker 1: even have a ninety he doesn't he is an eighty
Speaker 1: nine quarterback. Rady Poly you do it over years and
Speaker 1: you look at it more times than not. The best
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league that quarterback rating, they're in the
Speaker 1: top ten. Why is that because it's a good measurement
Speaker 1: as to how a human being is playing the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: Think about it. The rams Is in twenty seventeen were
Speaker 1: number one in points. In twenty eighteen number two in
Speaker 1: points behind Jared Goff. Yes, and that Lion's defense just
Speaker 1: gave up an all time team record in points this year,
Speaker 1: worse than the winless team that went oh in sixteen.
Speaker 1: So Big Red rage an swine bethet our guest Tonight
Speaker 1: Murray and Shotgun has the football short set, throws a
Speaker 1: deep ball left side single coverage and it is pulled
Speaker 1: in by DeAndre Hopkins and he's got a touchdown on
Speaker 1: a throw by Tyler Murray. And want to catch by
Speaker 1: Duke to put the Cardinals on the board with two
Speaker 1: thirty nine to go on the first Duke was one
Speaker 1: on one great throw by Kyler Murray, but an even
Speaker 1: better read touchdown. We said it's gonna be Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: or Kyler Murray, whoever plays better, that's who's gonna win
Speaker 1: this game. Snaps a Murray and he keeps it himself
Speaker 1: running left, got a defender with him at the five
Speaker 1: breaks a tackle dives ball comes out, but he crossed
Speaker 1: the plane touchdown Kyler Murray. Somehow Subway found a way
Speaker 1: to get that pig across Peter. Big time play Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: That was Week seven, the win against the Seahawks on
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football thirty seven thirty four was a game
Speaker 1: where the Cardinals trail ten nothing twenty seven to fourteen.
Speaker 1: They trailed thirty four to twenty four in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: came back to win. Kyler Murray the NFC Offensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Week in that game well, and at thirty
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown, passed a d hop Remember that was
Speaker 1: a play Cliff Kingsbury admitted his stealing from Ohio State
Speaker 1: where everyone was looking at the sideline as if they're
Speaker 1: awaiting a play call, and then they snapped it and
Speaker 1: Kyle had the smile on his face and he hit
Speaker 1: d hopped down the sideline. You know what, I'm all
Speaker 1: four in twenty twenty one, Polly, I'm all for any
Speaker 1: time that Deandrey Hopkins is singled up. Anytime he singled
Speaker 1: up whatsoever. You got a safety in the middle of
Speaker 1: the field, Convert any route, any route that he's gonna
Speaker 1: run to a fate, throw it up ball. I mean
Speaker 1: you see, it's not a fifty fifty ball with Deandrey Hopkins.
Speaker 1: It's not. It's seventy five twenty five. And you know,
Speaker 1: that was the game he had ten grabs, he had
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards, he had the touchdown there obviously,
Speaker 1: but there were other games where he was contained. And
Speaker 1: if you heard Kyler Murray recently doing some of the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl media interviews on a variety of different shows,
Speaker 1: in fact of its Pat McAfee show, where he went
Speaker 1: on and said, among other things, that you just didn't
Speaker 1: know which team you were getting quote end quote, if
Speaker 1: you remember that, because obviously that was a high point
Speaker 1: of the season that went against the Seahawks and then
Speaker 1: the way they ended the season. And here's Kyler Wolf
Speaker 1: and what he told NFL Network recently. I think we
Speaker 1: led the league in penalties, you know, and that's that's
Speaker 1: not winning football. It's not championship football. We showed a
Speaker 1: lot of flashes, but you know, I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot of work to be done, and I hope, you know,
Speaker 1: we can come back with that since urgency and understand,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of work that needs to
Speaker 1: be done because I mean our division, I think we
Speaker 1: played the toughest division in the NFL. It's all getting tougher,
Speaker 1: so the urgency guys would be super hot, all right.
Speaker 1: So on one hand, you can't correct a problem unless
Speaker 1: you identify and diagnose a problem. So it's good to
Speaker 1: hear that they realize urgency, the inconsistency of the intensity
Speaker 1: at times, specially to end the season in those last
Speaker 1: two games Week six ten, in particular at home, the
Speaker 1: loss to the Niners. But well, if how do you
Speaker 1: go about correcting that? Here here's the thing about it.
Speaker 1: First of all, I love to see Kyler Murray actually
Speaker 1: address this. I love the fact that he's talking about
Speaker 1: it because they all need to start talking about it.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the players that are in the locker room.
Speaker 1: Be ready to go be a pro, Polly, be ready
Speaker 1: to go out there, and forget about who you're playing,
Speaker 1: what their record might be, how many points they've scored,
Speaker 1: how good their defense is, forget about all of it.
Speaker 1: It's more about the Arizona Cardinals. I think in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, Polly, and it starts in the locker room.
Speaker 1: That's great. It starts with the thought and the thought
Speaker 1: that Kyler Murray is articulating is what We've got to
Speaker 1: be more urgent. We've got to come out ready to go.
Speaker 1: And that's great. I love the fact that he's articulating,
Speaker 1: and he's right. But that starts, Polly on Wednesday. That
Speaker 1: starts on Wednesday. That starts and carries over to Thursday
Speaker 1: and Friday. It's the urge of preparing. It's putting the
Speaker 1: game first. Especially as a franchise quarterback. Kyler Murray's got
Speaker 1: to do that. He's got it's got to start with him, Paulli,
Speaker 1: and the urgency comes throughout the week, not on Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I think year three is where he
Speaker 1: needs to take the lead in that department. If Bruce
Speaker 1: arians cites Tom Brady as the culture right now, as
Speaker 1: the difference with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, well guess what
Speaker 1: that goes for every single quarterback think about a wolf
Speaker 1: winning we refference Super Bowl forty three. Who was the
Speaker 1: difference maker that year? Obviously Kurt Warner with the Cardinals
Speaker 1: at the NFC Championship, it was Carson Palmer running practices
Speaker 1: on the offensive side by himself every Friday. BA basically
Speaker 1: outsourced it to Carson Palmer. I think he would agree.
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer to a large degree, was the culture on
Speaker 1: that team, holding guys accountable, and so at some point
Speaker 1: in every franchise quarterback's career, correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: You have to be that guy and be that No, absolutely, Pally,
Speaker 1: it does. And I love to hear once again, it's
Speaker 1: so important that Kyler Murray is articulating this stuff, Paul,
Speaker 1: that he's actually talking about it. Our sense of urgency
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, and this was something that we saw,
Speaker 1: PAULI and we were talking about after the month of
Speaker 1: September just watching the first three four games of the season. Basically,
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, for whatever reason, had a tendency of
Speaker 1: playing up and down to their competition. And I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that squarely is on the shoulders of every player that
Speaker 1: is inside that locker room. Paul, you know how I
Speaker 1: feel about this. We've been together for a long long time.
Speaker 1: I've articulated the way I feel about this, But my goodness,
Speaker 1: I never needed another man to get me ready to
Speaker 1: play in a football game. I'm sorry. I didn't need it,
Speaker 1: and I don't need it, and I wouldn't need it
Speaker 1: if somehow some way I could get my decrepit butt
Speaker 1: back out on the field and stick a mouth guard in.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be Cliff Kingsbury or any coach that got
Speaker 1: me ready to play. I'd have to get myself ready
Speaker 1: to play. It starts with the players. This revolution inside
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals locker room has got to start and
Speaker 1: end with the players. Guys, fed off your energy and
Speaker 1: your intensity. Sort of like our guest tonight, Antoine thea
Speaker 1: fet who's gonna join us momentarily field that live. On Sunday,
Speaker 1: you can watch Alicia Keys and music's biggest stars perform
Speaker 1: in a first of its kind concert to help small
Speaker 1: businesses tune into the Verizon Big Concert for Small Business.
Speaker 1: That's Sunday at eleven eastern nine o'clock Arizona time. As
Speaker 1: we continue with the Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 1: four King, Gilbert run to the right faking the handoff,
Speaker 1: gets tracked down in the backfield of the twenty nine
Speaker 1: hard line by Antoine Dthey hitting sacked back in the
Speaker 1: forty seven yard line by Antoine Bathet. He never had
Speaker 1: a chance to set up because Bethet was in the backfield.
Speaker 1: Smackspeth down to the ground and they hand it off
Speaker 1: up the middle and a Cardinal stuffed Washington at the two.
Speaker 1: He lost the yard. Great play, Antwan the the hit
Speaker 1: in the backfield and sacked Antoine today was back there,
Speaker 1: Oh baby, that is huge quarterback draw. He's at the five.
Speaker 1: He's hit by butthey had the two and taken down. Man,
Speaker 1: some guys played this game like they're baking a cake
Speaker 1: and then you've got guys just eat cake. And I
Speaker 1: believe Antoine Bathe right there ate a little bit of CJ.
Speaker 1: Bethor's cake. Oh man. Where was Antoine Bathe when the
Speaker 1: Cardinals needed him Week sixteen against c J bet in
Speaker 1: that game against the nine? Wow? That so well. You
Speaker 1: remember back a few years ago as we're gonna bring
Speaker 1: on a former Cardinal, former Arizona Cardinals Walter Peyton Man
Speaker 1: in the year. By the way, our special guest tonight awesome, dude.
Speaker 1: Do you remember we had that that show over at
Speaker 1: Marley's Chandler Fashion Center and the guests were Antoine Bethet
Speaker 1: and Trey Boston. And it was a good thing we
Speaker 1: didn't get paid by the word that night, because that
Speaker 1: might have been the easiest show we've ever done. That
Speaker 1: was like hashtag just add water right and we had
Speaker 1: an hour of great contest, so we had to bring
Speaker 1: him back. Antoine Bethet is our guest tonight. Aby. How

Speaker 1: it's doing this pandemic, doing COVID. So I got twenty
Speaker 1: times with my land. What are you doing? If you

Speaker 1: little bit, you know. Um, you know the past fourteen
Speaker 1: fifteen years, man, I've been on the goal. So it's
Speaker 1: just one of the first time in a long time
Speaker 1: where I've just been able to just to chill, relax
Speaker 1: and spend some quality time with the family man. So
Speaker 1: I just I've been doing that and spending time with
Speaker 1: the family man, enjoying this retirement and taking it one
Speaker 1: day at a time. It was just recently though that
Speaker 1: you tweeted out or made it official your retirement right
Speaker 1: at Twine. Yeah, yeah, it was earlier or last month
Speaker 1: or last month. You know, it's kind of been I've
Speaker 1: kind of been thinking about it for for a little
Speaker 1: bit now and it just wanted to make it official.
Speaker 1: Just put it behind me, man, just keep on, you know,
Speaker 1: moving in to that next chapter, life after Football. What
Speaker 1: do you think you're going to miss the most, stand Twine, Man,
Speaker 1: It's it's the camaraderie. Man, It's the locker room. It's
Speaker 1: the plane trips, the bus trip. That's what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: miss the most. Yesterday with relationships, man, just sitting in
Speaker 1: the locker room, laughing and joking. You know obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: running out of that tunnel on Sundays. We'll never I'll
Speaker 1: never I'll never found a highlight that again. And whatever
Speaker 1: I do um in his next chapter, iou I'm gonna
Speaker 1: miss that. But I think it's just the guys just
Speaker 1: hanging around, the guys laughing and joking, and you're lapping
Speaker 1: on him, ripping him. You know. For those who aren't familiar,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Antoine Bethet, who just finished up a
Speaker 1: fourteen year career, a three time pro bowler, a former
Speaker 1: sixth round pick, wolf from Howard University. And here's the
Speaker 1: guy came into the league not only started as a rookie,
Speaker 1: but one of Super Bowls rookie year with Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: and the Colts. And you put in your retirement tweet,
Speaker 1: if I saw correctly hashtag bet on yourself. What do
Speaker 1: you mean by that? What do you maybe the young
Speaker 1: guys take away from that man? And you know, just
Speaker 1: just believing yourself, you know, believing yourself and betting yourself.
Speaker 1: And you know, one thing for me, like when I
Speaker 1: came into the league, it was all about just I
Speaker 1: just wanted an opportunity. If you give me the opportunity,
Speaker 1: I'm a run with it. And again, you know, I
Speaker 1: just tell people all the time, especially like even with
Speaker 1: this this pandemic. You know, um, you see a lot
Speaker 1: of people that have been doing some good things doing
Speaker 1: doing this pandemic time. Um, just bettering yourself, just believing
Speaker 1: in yourself and just going on in that limit, just
Speaker 1: believe that you could do whatever you put your set
Speaker 1: your mind to. You know, if if you don't better yourself.
Speaker 1: If you don't believe in yourself, why should anybody else
Speaker 1: do it? You know what I mean? So I always
Speaker 1: that's kind of like my motto, just better myself. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm if I'm at the casino, if
Speaker 1: I'm in Vegas, and I gotta better on anybody, I
Speaker 1: better hands on with thing. You know what's amazing about too?
Speaker 1: When I when I when I think of your career,
Speaker 1: I think of you as a player coach. You were
Speaker 1: a guy that was so cerebral on the field, a
Speaker 1: guy that understood the defense and under stood the offense
Speaker 1: and studied the offense and what it was that we're
Speaker 1: trying to do. I see you going into coaching. Am
Speaker 1: I way off base on that one? No, you're not
Speaker 1: where you are. Um. You know I've heard that, you know,
Speaker 1: even during my time as a player. But I know
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I've been asked that recently, and
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I think it would just have
Speaker 1: to be the perfect situation for me at this time
Speaker 1: right now. It again, is it too early right now?
Speaker 1: For you? You're still I Again, That's why I say
Speaker 1: would have to be the perfect situation because I've spent
Speaker 1: so much time away from my family. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I have you know, my son, you know, my second time,
Speaker 1: my son's four and that's all he's talked about football.
Speaker 1: So just you know, I'm enjoying the time with them,
Speaker 1: seeing them, being able to see them grow. Um. So again,
Speaker 1: like I said that coaching would have to be the
Speaker 1: perfect time and now end up in a few you know,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely open to it. But as of right now,
Speaker 1: somebody came to me and say, hey, you know, you've
Speaker 1: got an opportunity. It will have to be the perfect situation.
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that perfect situation is even out there.
Speaker 1: It's all about you present a body. Santan Ford and
Speaker 1: Gilbert Antoine Bethey, our guests fourteen year career in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald met the media yesterday at the Phoenix Open
Speaker 1: Antoine and deflected all questions that you might imagine about
Speaker 1: his decision. Right So, what do you think he's there?
Speaker 1: What is he asking himself right now? You know, as
Speaker 1: a guy who just made the decision yourself, what do
Speaker 1: you think he's contemplating? First of all, the all season training,
Speaker 1: you know, and my going and my cannot get myself
Speaker 1: to the point where I can train the way I
Speaker 1: know I need to train, to prepare myself for the season.
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of I think that's one of
Speaker 1: the hardest things, because once you get to the season,
Speaker 1: you know you can, you can get up for Sunday,
Speaker 1: you can go into meet room and you know, obviously, um,
Speaker 1: Sitch knowing you know the offense like the back of
Speaker 1: his hand, that that's gonna be the easy part. I
Speaker 1: think the hall part is training, doing an off season,
Speaker 1: going to OTAs and going through that training Kim. I
Speaker 1: think that's kind of the the thing, the main one
Speaker 1: of the main things he could potentially be thinking about.
Speaker 1: And also, um, he's a future Hall of Famer, So
Speaker 1: like when he goes out there in between those white line,
Speaker 1: he has a um, you know, he has he has
Speaker 1: a standard that he sets for him, he set for
Speaker 1: himself his previous years of this is how I need
Speaker 1: to be, this is how I need to look on Sunday.
Speaker 1: And if he feels though he can't give him, he
Speaker 1: can't give the Cardinals that, um, you know, that might
Speaker 1: be another thing they think he's thinking about. But you know,
Speaker 1: Chris Man's future Hall of Famer Man, a great player,
Speaker 1: great guy off the field man. So whatever his decision is, Man,
Speaker 1: I know um error was gonna be thankful for him.
Speaker 1: The oldest Asia will be thankful for man. You know,
Speaker 1: whatever he does, he's gonna be good. It was amazing
Speaker 1: about it, Antoine. I remember back in my career, my
Speaker 1: ninth year in the league, and I just caught a
Speaker 1: touchdown pass from Vinnie Testaverdi, and I had taken my
Speaker 1: eye off the ball because I noticed Greg Lloyd was
Speaker 1: coming to wipe me out right, and I took my
Speaker 1: eye off the ball, and yet I caught the thing.
Speaker 1: And I remember standing out there with my arms up
Speaker 1: to the dog Pound in Cleveland, getting ready to cover
Speaker 1: a kick. And I remember, as I was putting my
Speaker 1: arms up, thinking, you've never done that before in your life,
Speaker 1: and you know this is the beginning of the end, right.
Speaker 1: I literally knew that as I'm standing in front of
Speaker 1: the dog Pound with my arms up. Was there a
Speaker 1: moment for you? Was there a moment in twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: when you were playing where you felt like, you know
Speaker 1: what this might be? It? You know, it wasn't. It
Speaker 1: wasn't when I was plane, but it was mornings when
Speaker 1: the long clock went off, and I didn't want to
Speaker 1: go into building right right, And that's when I and
Speaker 1: that's that had never happened to me before. Like you know,
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of you know, you could be sure,
Speaker 1: you could be tired, but you was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm readily going to building, you know, I want to
Speaker 1: see the guys. But um, that last year in New York,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. Man, when some some
Speaker 1: mornings when not a long clock went off, I did
Speaker 1: not want to go into building. That's when I kind
Speaker 1: of started to think about, like, you know, it may
Speaker 1: be that time. Ye hey, some of us face that
Speaker 1: when you're talking about morning radio and at three forty
Speaker 1: five am wake up calling. It's not just the NFL. Yeah,
Speaker 1: three forty five, man, that's rough. Pauli, Pensylvan can relay
Speaker 1: it on one level. Put it that way. Look, when
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna talk to Antoine Bethet about
Speaker 1: the two thousand and twenty Cardinals and morphing into the
Speaker 1: two thousan twenty one Cardinals and what Kyler said and
Speaker 1: what do you do when you get an inconsistent team
Speaker 1: week to week and you're trying to ratchet up that
Speaker 1: intensity to be consistent. And then Buddha Baker, obviously the
Speaker 1: first team All Pro and the Pro bowler. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about his maturation a guy he knows real well. It
Speaker 1: is the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 1: We are santan Ford visiting with former Cardinal safety Antoine Bathet.
Speaker 1: Shot comes snapped to Murray, steps up and takes off
Speaker 1: far side of the twenty. He got room at the ten,
Speaker 1: cuts right to the five, jukes the defender ten score
Speaker 1: touchdown Kyler Murray. That defender isn't multiple pieces at the
Speaker 1: five yard line? Is? He tried to break down and
Speaker 1: make that play and Kyler broke him down. Murray back
Speaker 1: to throw, flushed out, rolling left in trouble, slips a tackle.
Speaker 1: I don't launch it. He does left sides into the
Speaker 1: end zone jump ball and it is Is it caught?
Speaker 1: Is it caught? Oh my goodness, it's fun. DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: fun day. Caught duckdown of my second laft. I can't
Speaker 1: believe that you've gotta be joking. Names Cardinals blitz back
Speaker 1: and Torddalton gets hit and slim to the ground by
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker like a torpedo. He came flying into the
Speaker 1: backfield and smoked Andy Dalton. What a day, Buddha Baker.
Speaker 1: I tell you plenty of place for Dave Passed the
Speaker 1: Voice of the Cardinals to describe this last season. There
Speaker 1: you have at the three Pro bowlers for the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals here on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert. We are Santan for tonight's edition, Paul calvc,
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, and former Cardinals safety Antoine Bethet. Buddha Baker
Speaker 1: had one hundred and eighteen tackles last year. Eight times
Speaker 1: he had a season of one hundred plus tackles a
Speaker 1: B and and we'll get to Buddha in a minute.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about where we left off
Speaker 1: in the last segment, because Buddha talked about he was
Speaker 1: named team apton midway through the year and he really
Speaker 1: took on that leadership role, says he wants to be
Speaker 1: more of a leader. And based on what Kyler said
Speaker 1: this week the NFL Network about how at times the
Speaker 1: intensity and urgency wasn't enough this year, you saw inconsistency
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals from week to week and game to game.
Speaker 1: What do you do about that? From your experiences? Is
Speaker 1: that something that's easily correctable. I think it just comes
Speaker 1: with the growth, the growth and the guys in the field,
Speaker 1: the growth of the team. You know. Obviously, you know
Speaker 1: I was kind of seeing the same thing just because
Speaker 1: when you they were playing some good ball and it
Speaker 1: was right at the time, you know, in the season
Speaker 1: when you were like, you know, they can make a
Speaker 1: turn to be one of those teams to be the
Speaker 1: record with in the NFC, But it would be one
Speaker 1: week it would be alone. Then the next week they'll
Speaker 1: play well. So I just think it comes with guys
Speaker 1: playing together more and a lot of times just attention
Speaker 1: to detail. You know, a lot of times it comes
Speaker 1: down to like four plays of the game, man um.
Speaker 1: You know, just being on the other side or the
Speaker 1: right side of those four plays, it could, you know,
Speaker 1: really be a big turnaround in your season. You know,
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker has really mature. Give me your thoughts on
Speaker 1: that maturation. Man. I love him, man just you know,
Speaker 1: being able to see him his rookie year making Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: you know, primarily you know, special teams guy, but then
Speaker 1: coming into the next year as a as a starter
Speaker 1: and ain't playing big, you know. And that's what I
Speaker 1: like about Booder, just the way he plays the game.
Speaker 1: He plays the game the way it's supposed to be played.
Speaker 1: Obviously a cap in now. So just to be able
Speaker 1: to see that process, man, it's um, it's it's it's a.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a great feeling just to be able
Speaker 1: to see that all pro pro bowler um and the
Speaker 1: way he's doing it. Man, I'm happy for booting its
Speaker 1: first two picks this year at a couple of sacks.
Speaker 1: Speaking of sacks, Hassan Reddick had a break out year.
Speaker 1: They finally maybe put him back on the edge is
Speaker 1: college position what he calls his natural position, and man,
Speaker 1: he ended up with twelve and as sacks this year. Uh,
Speaker 1: tell us about what you saw from a sign Reddick, man, Um,
Speaker 1: it's funny. I talked to sign a little bit, man,
Speaker 1: and I was happy for him, just because you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of times people like to um throw the
Speaker 1: bus word out of there out there a lot, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But it's crazy because you know
Speaker 1: you've seen the tyler, you know, and it was just
Speaker 1: about putting him in the right position. Um, so he
Speaker 1: could succeed and they did. Man, And obviously you know
Speaker 1: he he had a hell of a season, a hell
Speaker 1: of a season, and I'm happy for a sign and
Speaker 1: um just to continue hopefully he could just continue to
Speaker 1: build off this h this past season, um, and just
Speaker 1: continue to do work. You know, super Bowl fifty five
Speaker 1: here it is, and you were around Bruce arians and
Speaker 1: have been all the way back to Indianapolis, which cracks
Speaker 1: up a little bit about India then of course Arizona
Speaker 1: as well. Here. How happy are you that BA is
Speaker 1: in this Super Bowl fifty five? Man, I'm excited and
Speaker 1: not only for him, but just you know, um, everybody
Speaker 1: um over there. You know you got left with you
Speaker 1: got goodie, Um, you got a foot dog. Um, you
Speaker 1: know Blaine Q, you know what I mean. So you
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that you know that's that's
Speaker 1: like family. Man. So I'm I'm happy for him. And
Speaker 1: then obviously you know what BA and this you know
Speaker 1: just talking about you know, just with the process, um
Speaker 1: where the league is at right now with just diversity
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff and um, you know, diversity in
Speaker 1: league positions and how BA he's always been out in
Speaker 1: front of that. You know, That's what I think. A
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of people respect him for UM
Speaker 1: and just being on the front line for that, and
Speaker 1: not only just UM black and brown coaches, but then
Speaker 1: also UM women coaches as well, you know. So I'm
Speaker 1: happy for Ba man, I'm happy for the guys over there,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see a good game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: A former Cardinal safety Antwine. But they are guests of
Speaker 1: the Big rid Rage, right, So give us a quick
Speaker 1: thought on that Bucks defense. They found a way against
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. What about against Patrick Mahomes. What do you
Speaker 1: think about that matchup? Man, It's gonna be tough. They
Speaker 1: got to go back and watch that film, um when
Speaker 1: they paid the Canadas to the twos early this year
Speaker 1: and do the opposite or whatever they was doing that guy,
Speaker 1: Um in that first where they gave up seventeen points.
Speaker 1: You know what they were doing at They were playing
Speaker 1: a lot of man, cover a lot of man, and
Speaker 1: what they were doing they put in their hands Trek
Speaker 1: Hill at that number three spot. And I don't care
Speaker 1: how fast you are, man, you he's running that oval.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. So obviously I'm pretty sure, they'll
Speaker 1: watch that film, they'll critique it, they'll switch some things up.
Speaker 1: But um, you know the biggest thing. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to shut them down. But when you were
Speaker 1: able to turn the ball over against Patrick Mahomes in
Speaker 1: the offense, you got to take advantage of opportunities. Um.
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. Um, you gotta do.
Speaker 1: They did that. Um, they did that, you know something
Speaker 1: during the season. So it's gonna be big for that secondary.
Speaker 1: But they have a good game. And who do you
Speaker 1: expect to win? I mean, what's your prediction on this? Now?
Speaker 1: You know I kind of had before knowing who was
Speaker 1: who's gonna be in the who's gonna playing the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: I had Kansas City winning. Yeah. Um, it's tough. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go against you know, coach BA and
Speaker 1: m and it's tough to bet against Tom Brady. But
Speaker 1: what Kansas City is doing, the weapons that they have,
Speaker 1: the way they playing, even the defense with you know,
Speaker 1: with with with with ty on the defense beating that
Speaker 1: defense man that team, Um, they played good, complimentary football.
Speaker 1: So um, if I was a batman, I will I
Speaker 1: will go with KC on Sunday. If you're game playing,
Speaker 1: then gets mahomes. Where do you start. Not only do
Speaker 1: you have mahomes, you have all the weapons, you have
Speaker 1: the scheme. What is it that makes it so challenging?
Speaker 1: What do you think Todd Bawls is gonna attempt to do? Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'll be It's it's um, it's tough.
Speaker 1: I know one thing, I would have two sets of
Speaker 1: eyes on Tyree Hill. I would not I would try
Speaker 1: my best not to let him, Um, you know, beat me.
Speaker 1: Um obviously you know you got Kelsey. Um he has
Speaker 1: some other weapons. But you know Tywick Hill, he's gonna
Speaker 1: beat you down the field. You you can't let the
Speaker 1: ball over your head. And then you know that front,
Speaker 1: you know, the front has to get get out the
Speaker 1: mahomes and keep them in that pocket. Don't let them,
Speaker 1: you know, get outside the pocket and full of the plays. Um.
Speaker 1: So the rush, the rush game, the rush plan has
Speaker 1: to be on point, has to tie in with the coverage.
Speaker 1: So again, man, you got to try to throw the
Speaker 1: timing off as well, you know, as a as a
Speaker 1: defensive end. Before you get to the rush, you don't
Speaker 1: try to get hands on Kelsey and disrupt some of
Speaker 1: that time, and so I'm pretty sure they would down
Speaker 1: some things up and and and and be creative with
Speaker 1: some things. But it's just it's gonna be. It's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It got some work cut out film, you know. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Antoine, I am shocked that Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay is here. I am shocked that Tom Brady is here.
Speaker 1: When when I think back to October, the end of
Speaker 1: October right there, it wasn't like they didn't have a
Speaker 1: good record, but they just looked a little disjointed. And
Speaker 1: the fact that they're actually here in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: once again, I am stunned that Tom Brady has been
Speaker 1: able to accomplish what is Do you believe he's the
Speaker 1: greatest of all time? Yeah? I mean, UM ten super Bowls? Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can argue with you argue
Speaker 1: against that, UM ten super bowls? Um I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Going into the season, I'm like, man, you know you
Speaker 1: got Tom Brady, got all the weapons out there, like
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, it's gonna be rough for opposing defenses.
Speaker 1: But as a season started, man, it didn't look that way.
Speaker 1: But as we as we all know, it's all about timing.
Speaker 1: You know, when do you get hot and they got
Speaker 1: hot at the right time. Um. And and it's crazy
Speaker 1: like even last not last week, but the week prior.
Speaker 1: You know, he threw three interceptions again in the NFC
Speaker 1: Championship game and they still wont. So, Um, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's scary, man, when it's the it's they fall
Speaker 1: in his favor. So again, Man, he's been here ten times.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can argue against that. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not pretty every time. But if he's
Speaker 1: able to get seven rings, man, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you can't crown him as, um the best quarterback to
Speaker 1: play the game. I mean some of the stats are
Speaker 1: just absurdy. If he wins, will be the only play
Speaker 1: ever to win a Super Bowl in three different decades.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you know stuff like that. By
Speaker 1: the way, The Man to Man podcast hosted by Antoine
Speaker 1: Bethey our guest, and Darius Butler, former NFL dB and
Speaker 1: you got an episode that's gonna drop tomorrow with three
Speaker 1: times Super BOWLD champion Devin McCardy. How's the podcast going,
Speaker 1: ab man, it's going good. Man. Being on the other
Speaker 1: side and in the media, on the on the media
Speaker 1: side now. But it's going good man, just being able
Speaker 1: to talk with different players, hear that story and laughing
Speaker 1: joke and just you know, and didn't even give our knowledge,
Speaker 1: like you said, my co host Dar's Bahlague's teammates in
Speaker 1: Indianapolis he played nine years. So just to be able
Speaker 1: to you know, kind of talk to the fans and
Speaker 1: in the viewers and give our a little two cents
Speaker 1: on how we view things. Man. So it's been fun.
Speaker 1: It's been as fun. It's been a process, but I'm
Speaker 1: enjoying it. Antoine, you mentoring any kids, So um, I'll
Speaker 1: do some stuff back home in Newport News where you
Speaker 1: know where I mentor and I do stuff through my
Speaker 1: Paday Family Foundation. So obviously, man giving back to the
Speaker 1: community and being seen in the community has always been
Speaker 1: dead to me. So awkward scene to do that. The
Speaker 1: world needs you, bro, That's why I'm asking world needs
Speaker 1: you there. I'd tell you you knew it. He was
Speaker 1: one of the Cardinals players who met with Governor Doucy
Speaker 1: back in the day, you know, when he was playing
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals once again. The Cardinals Walter paid Manny
Speaker 1: the year twenty eighteen a b we enjoyed it, man,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the time. No, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you God bless brother. There you go, Antoine Bethet,
Speaker 1: and it's the Manda mand podcast by the way, and
Speaker 1: on Twitter you can follow him the handles Wolf at
Speaker 1: the Manda Man Pod and you can catch the podcast
Speaker 1: and Apple podcast, Spotify and Google podcasts as well. So
Speaker 1: think about it. The last three weeks, Wolf as, Sean Johnson,
Speaker 1: Sam Acho, and Antoine Bethet all guests of The Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage, and they all have their own podcasts. Used
Speaker 1: to be you needed your own mock draft. Now it's
Speaker 1: your own podcast. And that's how it works these days.
Speaker 1: Sounds like we have a serious producer. Does a non
Speaker 1: point Oh come back, We'll talk super Bowl fifty five
Speaker 1: and how about Kansas City next on the Big Red Range.
Speaker 1: Check it in Chen from the homes that has earned
Speaker 1: twenty five Now gonna throw a slant cart thirty five
Speaker 1: yard line. Choot moved, Terry kill forty five fifty yard line.
Speaker 1: Touch it back, look down to thirty five thirty Cheetah
Speaker 1: hit full speed, ten to five yard line. Dude, flare press.
Speaker 1: The Cheetah will run you all the way around the Earth.
Speaker 1: It's a seventy one yard pass play to the Cheetah
Speaker 1: on a flick slant shovel it inside the Kelsey Finny
Speaker 1: Lynch and Dodge touchdown Chanson City a new wrinkle to Kelsey.
Speaker 1: Sus drinks from the sweet nectar the in zone on
Speaker 1: the shovel pass, and the Chiefs have their biggest lead
Speaker 1: of the game. That on the Chief Radio network there
Speaker 1: as Kansas City gonna stay in Casey until late on
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon and then flying to Tampa just over twenty
Speaker 1: four hours before kickoff. They're gonna fly into town for
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five. Obviously, the Buccaneers the first team
Speaker 1: ever to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium.
Speaker 1: As we welcome you back here on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Special thanks the
Speaker 1: former Cardinals safety Antoine. But they Paul calvic, Ron Wolfley
Speaker 1: and and well there's one path I think for the
Speaker 1: Chiefs to get beat in this one, and that's if
Speaker 1: they can't protect Patrick Mahomes If because of their injury
Speaker 1: situation with the two starting tackles. We all know how
Speaker 1: Tom Brady lost those games against Eli Manning and the
Speaker 1: Giants because that Giants front was able to get pressure
Speaker 1: with four and drop seven. And to me, that would
Speaker 1: be the big, the easiest and clearest way I would
Speaker 1: see for Tampa to actually get a victory in a
Speaker 1: ring in Super Bowl fifty. Yeah, you're right, Polly about that.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you right now that I still
Speaker 1: expect the Kansas City Chiefs to go out there and
Speaker 1: be the juggernaut offense that we all know them to be.
Speaker 1: Their talent is just absolutely off the charts. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that Andy Reid is going to come up with an
Speaker 1: excellent game plan. You give him two weeks and he's
Speaker 1: going to do very very well in terms of preparing
Speaker 1: for the opponents. You just know how good they are.
Speaker 1: Kansas City puts so much pressure on its opposition, Paul,
Speaker 1: whoever they're playing, If they put so much pressure on
Speaker 1: the opponents to actually be perfect in all three phases,
Speaker 1: you've got to go out and you were talking about
Speaker 1: this earlier. You got to score touchdowns if you're giving
Speaker 1: the opportunity and you're playing against the Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they got to
Speaker 1: score touchdowns when they get into the red zone. Your
Speaker 1: special teams can't give up any big place. Crazy Carl
Speaker 1: can't show up at all, right, and to be a
Speaker 1: detriment to you in terms of special teams, and then
Speaker 1: your offense, your defense, excuse me, has got to go
Speaker 1: out there and if they could, if they could limit
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to twenty seven points, again, Bruce arians would
Speaker 1: take that, Paul and run like a madman. You know
Speaker 1: that Tampa defense actually held Aaron Rodgers and check in
Speaker 1: the red zone, did they not? Green Bay, which was
Speaker 1: the number one red zone team in the NFL, struggled
Speaker 1: most of that game. Aaron Rodgers was two to nine
Speaker 1: passing goal to go, and so I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: exactly Todd Bowles was doing in the red zone, but
Speaker 1: they fared real well against Aaron Rodgers. I'm curious how
Speaker 1: they do against Patrick Mahomes in this game. Absolutely. And
Speaker 1: here's the other thing, Polly, go back and look at
Speaker 1: the game they played in late November. I think it
Speaker 1: was November twenty ninth. As a matter of fact, why
Speaker 1: that number six in my head? I have no idea.
Speaker 1: You go back and look at the Buccaneers Chiefs game
Speaker 1: in late November right there in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: They came out and they were playing a lot of
Speaker 1: man coverage in that first quarter, Polly. They said, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go ahead, We're gonna play the press man here.
Speaker 1: We don't care if you got Tiray Hill. And all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they scored seventeen points real quickly, seventeen
Speaker 1: points in that quarter. And then Todd Bowles started mixing
Speaker 1: it up the coverages end of playing a lot more
Speaker 1: zone and playing a lot more coverage and letting four
Speaker 1: guys try to get the Pat Mahomes and guess what,
Speaker 1: they slowed the Chiefs down. I think that's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna see. We're gonna see a lot more of everything. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When Tyreek Hill has two hundred yards receiving in the
Speaker 1: first quarter, oh, you gotta make some adjustments. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's what Tampa did. By the way, here's your holy
Speaker 1: Conoli stat Ron Wolfe. The last two years Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: with Eric Fisher as his left tackle. Yeah, they're twenty
Speaker 1: seven and one Without Eric Fisher, Patrick Mahomes is three
Speaker 1: and three. Whow Paul, So I just throw that out
Speaker 1: there when it comes to the tackles. We'll focus on
Speaker 1: Pa and the Bucks and Tom Brady next. The Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Roger said
Speaker 1: short pass crossings had a cutback Jones thirty ball three,
Speaker 1: it's loose, it's a funball. It's picked up by win
Speaker 1: the twenty first side lane fifteen. He goes to the
Speaker 1: first side lane tin, he's not done on the sideline
Speaker 1: at the nine. Bring babe with a turnover. It was
Speaker 1: Kevin White, the fuccaneer's key bench. They're doing it in
Speaker 1: every way today. You got a Tampa team that's won
Speaker 1: seven in a row since losing to Casey at home
Speaker 1: on November twenty nine, twenty seven, twenty four and Super
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty five. TikTok here we go in fact live
Speaker 1: on Sunday or a miner Wolf that everyone can watch
Speaker 1: Alicia Keys and music's biggest stars perform, and a first
Speaker 1: of its kind concert to help small businesses tune into
Speaker 1: the rising Big concert for small business that is Sunday
Speaker 1: at eleven eastern nine o'clock Arizona Time. Welcome back into
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage, So give me a few thoughts
Speaker 1: on Tampa and the Buccaneers and what exactly stands out
Speaker 1: to you in this matchup. First of all, ball, I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to basically do four things. The
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are gonna have to play incredibly well offensively and
Speaker 1: run down situation first and ten second and one to six.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about being able to run the ball efficiently.
Speaker 1: They don't have to be good at it, they just
Speaker 1: need to run it efficiently so their play action pass
Speaker 1: is as effective as Tom Brady can be. That's number one.
Speaker 1: Number two, they need to win the turnover battle. It's
Speaker 1: a cliche, paul, but I can tell you right now,
Speaker 1: if Tom Brady goes out and throws three picks like
Speaker 1: he did in the NFC Championship game, there's no way
Speaker 1: they they're gonna win this game. That's just not going
Speaker 1: to happen. Number three, they got to play well defensively
Speaker 1: on third and obvious pass situations, they have to get
Speaker 1: off the field. And number four, here's my number four question, Paulie.
Speaker 1: How many times does be a risk it and go
Speaker 1: for that biscuit? Yeah? I mean you know, and is
Speaker 1: that feasible? Well, Tom Brady have enough time right to
Speaker 1: go ahead and go downfield, and especially against Tyrn Matthew
Speaker 1: and that chief secondary. Just that matchup alone of Tyrn
Speaker 1: Matthew going against Todd Bowles, and just just the thinking
Speaker 1: man's game, right and just everything go on BA with
Speaker 1: a play calling and Byron Leftwitch and just everything. This
Speaker 1: the thinking side of the game and how those guys
Speaker 1: know each other so well, I'm curious what develops, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. If you told me to pick one
Speaker 1: guy that would be the MVP of this Super Bowl
Speaker 1: who's not a quarterback, it would be Tyrane Matthew, wouldn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he just got this feeling he could make that play
Speaker 1: that would be the difference, no doubt. What about that
Speaker 1: that Tampa pass rush though, and and you know, considering
Speaker 1: what they've done in terms of getting to the quarterback
Speaker 1: in the postseason and that Tampa d seven takeaways by
Speaker 1: the defensis postseason, I mean against Kansas City. Or you
Speaker 1: think Patrick Mahomes gets rid of the ball too quickly, No, well,
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to do a little bit
Speaker 1: of both. PAULI. I think that Andy Reid is one
Speaker 1: of the better offensive minds in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the talent. He's got on offense,
Speaker 1: and who are you going to take away? That's what
Speaker 1: it comes down to, Tyrake Hill. Is that okay, that's great,
Speaker 1: You're gonna take away Tyrak Hill because here's Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1: And never forget the baseline for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: And again, I know we're talking about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: but the Chiefs are going to dominate this game. They're
Speaker 1: gonna dictate it. They put so much pressure on their opponent.
Speaker 1: They're gonna dominate this game. And that's why the four
Speaker 1: things I think the Buccaneers have got to do. They
Speaker 1: have to actually run the ball well enough to protect
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They have to do that. They have to
Speaker 1: get off the field on third down. You know how
Speaker 1: difficult that is to do against his team ball. It's
Speaker 1: almost impossible. And Bruce arians is going to have to
Speaker 1: take chances. He's gonna have to do it on some
Speaker 1: certain fourth downs. You got to score touchdowns, not field
Speaker 1: goals in the red zone. It's almost like an arena
Speaker 1: Football League game. You have to score to keep up
Speaker 1: with your opponent. And yet Tom Brady seems so content
Speaker 1: this week, does he not? The family has left him
Speaker 1: alone he's at you know that Derek Jeter estate, thirty
Speaker 1: thousand square feet all by himself. He's all ball, he's focused,
Speaker 1: he's staying at home. He doesn't have to worry about
Speaker 1: any of the other stuff that goes along with a
Speaker 1: typical Super Bowl. I mean, you got a guy who's
Speaker 1: thirty three and eleven all time in the postseason. We
Speaker 1: talked about the ridiculous stats. Well, he's been twenty seven
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks in the playoffs in his career, including Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes two years ago and his oc Byron Leftwich. So
Speaker 1: it just there's just something about the fact that Tom
Speaker 1: Brady seems real calm and real confident makes me wonder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: rundown situation, Paulie, They've got to possess the ball because
Speaker 1: that is the best defense the Buccaneers could ever have
Speaker 1: against Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs. Well, there's been no
Speaker 1: repeat Super Bowl champion since two thousand and four, when
Speaker 1: it was Tom Brady and the Patriots. Special thanks Jim
