No moss when 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.319 it comes to the media access you know what, No 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.760 more reporters. It's all ball until Super Sunday. Ron Wolfley, 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.160 also known as the Final forty eight. Paully, We've got 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.520 you covered though. Here We've got the original Thursday Night Football. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.680 If we do say so ourselves here on the Big 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.280 Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.040 santan Ford, so we've got you covered fifty two weeks 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.920 per year. It is the Big Red Rage and Wolf. 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.919 There was actually other sounds coming out of Tampa today 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.040 as Bruce Arians actually fired up crowd noise, actually pumped 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.679 in crowd noise at practice because lo and behold, there's 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.520 gonna be twenty five thousand or so fans at that 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.560 stadium on Sunday. So just in case for the first 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.680 time all year. Oh, I don't know, you might have 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.200 to go into a silent account. Perhaps, Yeah, Paully, not 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.360 only that too. Did you seem to actually practiced this 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.840 week where they went ahead and went out on the 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.840 field and they practiced, and then all of a sudden 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.240 they went in and did nothing inside they took twenty 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.320 six minutes off because that's how long it's supposed to 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.440 be the halftime, twenty six Did you see that, Paulie. 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.960 I did not see that, but that is true. And 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.240 then they came out, Yes, they came back out and 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.600 practiced again. Let me tell you, we were both there. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.040 Super Bowl forty three did a lot longer than twenty 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.680 six minutes, forty six minutes. Well, do you remember at 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.880 the time, at the time super Bowl forty three, the halftime, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.960 it was the longest halftime in the history of the 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:41.399 NFL at the time, and that was after James Harrison. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.959 You know what happened. I never knew that. I never 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.280 knew that that was the longest halftime on record at 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.760 the time. And of course it makes sense. Bruce Springsteen 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.160 is known for three plus hour concerts, so that totally 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.720 makes sense. It just did to be able to sit there, 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.760 just to half to sit there. I guess the Cardinals 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.280 are watching James Harrison return it all the way for 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.880 a touchdown when they were getting ready to go in 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.560 and score. Now, all of a sudden, James Harrison takes 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.840 it back and he scores that legendary touchdown in that 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.520 Super Bowl. Are you kidding me? You had to sit 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.000 on that for the longest amount of time ever in 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.760 Super Bowl history at halftime. I wasn't in a good 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.400 mood at halftime, you know, I was. In fact, I 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.640 was given a few of the photographer's little elbow trying 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.519 to get some space there to watch the Boss while 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.480 I was doing the halftime show on the Arizona Cardinals 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.720 radio network. When are you in a good mood? Paul 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.320 Bruce put me in a good mood though, and then 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.080 the second half did until the final two thirty seven 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.680 of the game or whatever it was, exactly Wolf. We 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.120 have quarterback news here, and I'm not talking about Cole 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.720 McDonald who's signed with the Cardinals to a futures contract, 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.640 the former Hawaii contract, the quarterback news in the NFC West. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.560 I'm talking about Matthew Stafford going obviously in the Mondo 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.440 trade to the Rams. I haven't heard your reaction yet. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.320 Let us know here on the Big Red. I'm just 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.640 gonna say this right now, Polly. It's it's not a 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.440 great thing. I'm not happy to see Matthew Stafford come in. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.680 But what did shock you to know that Jared Goff 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.440 actually has a higher career quarterback rating than Matthew Stafford. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.720 Would that shock wow a little bit? Matthew Stafford doesn't 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.400 even have a ninety he doesn't he is an eighty 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.839 nine quarterback. Rady Poly you do it over years and 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.640 you look at it more times than not. The best 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.440 quarterbacks in the league that quarterback rating, they're in the 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.279 top ten. Why is that because it's a good measurement 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.040 as to how a human being is playing the quarterback position. 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.080 Think about it. The rams Is in twenty seventeen were 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.720 number one in points. In twenty eighteen number two in 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.280 points behind Jared Goff. Yes, and that Lion's defense just 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.159 gave up an all time team record in points this year, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.000 worse than the winless team that went oh in sixteen. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.200 So Big Red rage an swine bethet our guest Tonight 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.520 Murray and Shotgun has the football short set, throws a 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.719 deep ball left side single coverage and it is pulled 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.240 in by DeAndre Hopkins and he's got a touchdown on 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.479 a throw by Tyler Murray. And want to catch by 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.120 Duke to put the Cardinals on the board with two 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.600 thirty nine to go on the first Duke was one 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.719 on one great throw by Kyler Murray, but an even 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.240 better read touchdown. We said it's gonna be Russell Wilson 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.200 or Kyler Murray, whoever plays better, that's who's gonna win 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.200 this game. Snaps a Murray and he keeps it himself 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.600 running left, got a defender with him at the five 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.880 breaks a tackle dives ball comes out, but he crossed 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:45.960 the plane touchdown Kyler Murray. Somehow Subway found a way 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:53.600 to get that pig across Peter. Big time play Kyler Murray. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:57.159 That was Week seven, the win against the Seahawks on 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.320 Sunday Night Football thirty seven thirty four was a game 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.760 where the Cardinals trail ten nothing twenty seven to fourteen. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.680 They trailed thirty four to twenty four in the fourth quarter, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.840 came back to win. Kyler Murray the NFC Offensive Player 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.360 of the Week in that game well, and at thirty 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.320 five yard touchdown, passed a d hop Remember that was 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.039 a play Cliff Kingsbury admitted his stealing from Ohio State 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.880 where everyone was looking at the sideline as if they're 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.000 awaiting a play call, and then they snapped it and 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.960 Kyle had the smile on his face and he hit 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.000 d hopped down the sideline. You know what, I'm all 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.839 four in twenty twenty one, Polly, I'm all for any 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.599 time that Deandrey Hopkins is singled up. Anytime he singled 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.760 up whatsoever. You got a safety in the middle of 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.800 the field, Convert any route, any route that he's gonna 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.560 run to a fate, throw it up ball. I mean 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.760 you see, it's not a fifty fifty ball with Deandrey Hopkins. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:49.760 It's not. It's seventy five twenty five. And you know, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.120 that was the game he had ten grabs, he had 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.880 over one hundred yards, he had the touchdown there obviously, 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.080 but there were other games where he was contained. And 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.839 if you heard Kyler Murray recently doing some of the 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.680 Super Bowl media interviews on a variety of different shows, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.000 in fact of its Pat McAfee show, where he went 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.400 on and said, among other things, that you just didn't 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.120 know which team you were getting quote end quote, if 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.600 you remember that, because obviously that was a high point 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.080 of the season that went against the Seahawks and then 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.120 the way they ended the season. And here's Kyler Wolf 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.920 and what he told NFL Network recently. I think we 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.120 led the league in penalties, you know, and that's that's 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.640 not winning football. It's not championship football. We showed a 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.520 lot of flashes, but you know, I think there's a 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.280 lot of work to be done, and I hope, you know, 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.440 we can come back with that since urgency and understand, 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:37.640 you know, there's a lot of work that needs to 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.040 be done because I mean our division, I think we 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.800 played the toughest division in the NFL. It's all getting tougher, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.120 so the urgency guys would be super hot, all right. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.600 So on one hand, you can't correct a problem unless 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.480 you identify and diagnose a problem. So it's good to 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:55.760 hear that they realize urgency, the inconsistency of the intensity 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.040 at times, specially to end the season in those last 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.640 two games Week six ten, in particular at home, the 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.520 loss to the Niners. But well, if how do you 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.200 go about correcting that? Here here's the thing about it. 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.880 First of all, I love to see Kyler Murray actually 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.440 address this. I love the fact that he's talking about 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.040 it because they all need to start talking about it. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.680 I'm talking about the players that are in the locker room. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.320 Be ready to go be a pro, Polly, be ready 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.560 to go out there, and forget about who you're playing, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.600 what their record might be, how many points they've scored, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.760 how good their defense is, forget about all of it. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.280 It's more about the Arizona Cardinals. I think in twenty 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.040 twenty one, Polly, and it starts in the locker room. 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.240 That's great. It starts with the thought and the thought 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.360 that Kyler Murray is articulating is what We've got to 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.600 be more urgent. We've got to come out ready to go. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.599 And that's great. I love the fact that he's articulating, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:52.720 and he's right. But that starts, Polly on Wednesday. That 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:57.679 starts on Wednesday. That starts and carries over to Thursday 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.839 and Friday. It's the urge of preparing. It's putting the 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.840 game first. Especially as a franchise quarterback. Kyler Murray's got 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.480 to do that. He's got it's got to start with him, Paulli, 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.960 and the urgency comes throughout the week, not on Sunday morning. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:20.040 I completely agree. I think year three is where he 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.480 needs to take the lead in that department. If Bruce 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:29.440 arians cites Tom Brady as the culture right now, as 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.200 the difference with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, well guess what 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.880 that goes for every single quarterback think about a wolf 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.480 winning we refference Super Bowl forty three. Who was the 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.280 difference maker that year? Obviously Kurt Warner with the Cardinals 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.640 at the NFC Championship, it was Carson Palmer running practices 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.480 on the offensive side by himself every Friday. BA basically 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.439 outsourced it to Carson Palmer. I think he would agree. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.800 Carson Palmer to a large degree, was the culture on 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.440 that team, holding guys accountable, and so at some point 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.000 in every franchise quarterback's career, correct me if I'm wrong. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.600 You have to be that guy and be that No, absolutely, Pally, 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.120 it does. And I love to hear once again, it's 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.240 so important that Kyler Murray is articulating this stuff, Paul, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.360 that he's actually talking about it. Our sense of urgency 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.960 the Arizona Cardinals, and this was something that we saw, 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.680 PAULI and we were talking about after the month of 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:24.000 September just watching the first three four games of the season. Basically, 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.720 the Arizona Cardinals, for whatever reason, had a tendency of 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:32.480 playing up and down to their competition. And I'm sorry 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.760 that squarely is on the shoulders of every player that 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.680 is inside that locker room. Paul, you know how I 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.319 feel about this. We've been together for a long long time. 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.480 I've articulated the way I feel about this, But my goodness, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.640 I never needed another man to get me ready to 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.000 play in a football game. I'm sorry. I didn't need it, 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.640 and I don't need it, and I wouldn't need it 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.160 if somehow some way I could get my decrepit butt 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.480 back out on the field and stick a mouth guard in. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.040 It wouldn't be Cliff Kingsbury or any coach that got 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.200 me ready to play. I'd have to get myself ready 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:13.160 to play. It starts with the players. This revolution inside 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.880 the Arizona Cardinals locker room has got to start and 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.480 end with the players.

He never had 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.840 a chance to set up because Bethet was in the backfield. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.679 Smackspeth down to the ground and they hand it off 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.839 up the middle and a Cardinal stuffed Washington at the two. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.000 He lost the yard. Great play, Antwan the the hit 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.440 in the backfield and sacked Antoine today was back there, 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.560 Oh baby, that is huge quarterback draw.

And it was a good thing we 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.160 didn't get paid by the word that night, because that 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.319 might have been the easiest show we've ever done. That 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.520 was like hashtag just add water right and we had 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.839 an hour of great contest, so we had to bring 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.360 him back.

Just slow you down a 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.280 little bit, you know. Um, you know the past fourteen 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.080 fifteen years, man, I've been on the goal. So it's 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.160 just one of the first time in a long time 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.280 where I've just been able to just to chill, relax 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.360 and spend some quality time with the family man. So 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.920 I just I've been doing that and spending time with 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.080 the family man, enjoying this retirement and taking it one 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.160 day at a time. It was just recently though that 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.320 you tweeted out or made it official your retirement right 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:35.640 at Twine. Yeah, yeah, it was earlier or last month 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.520 or last month. You know, it's kind of been I've 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.920 kind of been thinking about it for for a little 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.040 bit now and it just wanted to make it official. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.680 Just put it behind me, man, just keep on, you know, 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.120 moving in to that next chapter, life after Football. What 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.880 do you think you're going to miss the most, stand Twine, Man, 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.960 It's it's the camaraderie. Man, It's the locker room. It's 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.880 the plane trips, the bus trip. That's what I'm gonna 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.440 miss the most. Yesterday with relationships, man, just sitting in 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.480 the locker room, laughing and joking. You know obviously, you know, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.000 running out of that tunnel on Sundays. We'll never I'll 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.560 never I'll never found a highlight that again. And whatever 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.560 I do um in his next chapter, iou I'm gonna 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.360 miss that. But I think it's just the guys just 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.320 hanging around, the guys laughing and joking, and you're lapping 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:28.920 on him, ripping him. You know. For those who aren't familiar, 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.080 we're talking about Antoine Bethet, who just finished up a 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.520 fourteen year career, a three time pro bowler, a former 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:39.120 sixth round pick, wolf from Howard University. And here's the 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.480 guy came into the league not only started as a rookie, 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.480 but one of Super Bowls rookie year with Peyton Manning 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.120 and the Colts. And you put in your retirement tweet, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.080 if I saw correctly hashtag bet on yourself. What do 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:51.720 you mean by that? What do you maybe the young 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.760 guys take away from that man? And you know, just 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.480 just believing yourself, you know, believing yourself and betting yourself. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.720 And you know, one thing for me, like when I 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.400 came into the league, it was all about just I 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.160 just wanted an opportunity. If you give me the opportunity, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.960 I'm a run with it. And again, you know, I 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.800 just tell people all the time, especially like even with 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.080 this this pandemic. You know, um, you see a lot 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.960 of people that have been doing some good things doing 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.280 doing this pandemic time. Um, just bettering yourself, just believing 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.160 in yourself and just going on in that limit, just 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.640 believe that you could do whatever you put your set 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.560 your mind to. You know, if if you don't better yourself. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.360 If you don't believe in yourself, why should anybody else 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.640 do it? You know what I mean? So I always 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.800 that's kind of like my motto, just better myself. Um, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.600 you know, if I'm if I'm at the casino, if 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.400 I'm in Vegas, and I gotta better on anybody, I 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.760 better hands on with thing. You know what's amazing about too? 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.520 When I when I when I think of your career, 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.640 I think of you as a player coach. You were 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.880 a guy that was so cerebral on the field, a 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.760 guy that understood the defense and under stood the offense 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.040 and studied the offense and what it was that we're 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:07.040 trying to do. I see you going into coaching. Am 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.280 I way off base on that one? No, you're not 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.920 where you are. Um. You know I've heard that, you know, 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.000 even during my time as a player. But I know 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.879 for me, you know, I've been asked that recently, and 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:22.520 for me, you know, I think it would just have 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.040 to be the perfect situation for me at this time 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.840 right now. It again, is it too early right now? 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:37.560 For you? You're still I Again, That's why I say 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.360 would have to be the perfect situation because I've spent 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.840 so much time away from my family. Um, you know, 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.800 I have you know, my son, you know, my second time, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.720 my son's four and that's all he's talked about football. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.280 So just you know, I'm enjoying the time with them, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.400 seeing them, being able to see them grow. Um. So again, 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.480 like I said that coaching would have to be the 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.600 perfect time and now end up in a few you know, 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.560 I'm definitely open to it. But as of right now, 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.480 somebody came to me and say, hey, you know, you've 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.000 got an opportunity. It will have to be the perfect situation. 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.520 I'm not even sure that perfect situation is even out there. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.000 It's all about you present a body. Santan Ford and 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.560 Gilbert Antoine Bethey, our guests fourteen year career in the NFL. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.160 Larry Fitzgerald met the media yesterday at the Phoenix Open 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.399 Antoine and deflected all questions that you might imagine about 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.000 his decision. Right So, what do you think he's there? 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.479 What is he asking himself right now? You know, as 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.280 a guy who just made the decision yourself, what do 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:41.120 you think he's contemplating? First of all, the all season training, 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.760 you know, and my going and my cannot get myself 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.000 to the point where I can train the way I 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.359 know I need to train, to prepare myself for the season. 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.320 I think that's kind of I think that's one of 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.560 the hardest things, because once you get to the season, 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.760 you know you can, you can get up for Sunday, 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.280 you can go into meet room and you know, obviously, um, 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.680 Sitch knowing you know the offense like the back of 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.680 his hand, that that's gonna be the easy part. I 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.199 think the hall part is training, doing an off season, 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.080 going to OTAs and going through that training Kim. I 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.320 think that's kind of the the thing, the main one 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.720 of the main things he could potentially be thinking about. 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.600 And also, um, he's a future Hall of Famer, So 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.320 like when he goes out there in between those white line, 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.880 he has a um, you know, he has he has 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.359 a standard that he sets for him, he set for 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:38.560 himself his previous years of this is how I need 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:42.280 to be, this is how I need to look on Sunday. 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.280 And if he feels though he can't give him, he 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.959 can't give the Cardinals that, um, you know, that might 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.200 be another thing they think he's thinking about. But you know, 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.160 Chris Man's future Hall of Famer Man, a great player, 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.720 great guy off the field man. So whatever his decision is, Man, 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.199 I know um error was gonna be thankful for him. 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.720 The oldest Asia will be thankful for man. You know, 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.520 whatever he does, he's gonna be good. It was amazing 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.320 about it, Antoine. I remember back in my career, my 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.520 ninth year in the league, and I just caught a 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:17.960 touchdown pass from Vinnie Testaverdi, and I had taken my 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.600 eye off the ball because I noticed Greg Lloyd was 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.240 coming to wipe me out right, and I took my 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.040 eye off the ball, and yet I caught the thing. 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.520 And I remember standing out there with my arms up 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.840 to the dog Pound in Cleveland, getting ready to cover 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.399 a kick. And I remember, as I was putting my 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.120 arms up, thinking, you've never done that before in your life, 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.800 and you know this is the beginning of the end, right. 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.520 I literally knew that as I'm standing in front of 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.399 the dog Pound with my arms up. Was there a 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.640 moment for you? Was there a moment in twenty nineteen 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.800 when you were playing where you felt like, you know 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:58.200 what this might be? It? You know, it wasn't. It 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:02.520 wasn't when I was plane, but it was mornings when 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.000 the long clock went off, and I didn't want to 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:08.760 go into building right right, And that's when I and 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:12.159 that's that had never happened to me before. Like you know, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.680 you know, regardless of you know, you could be sure, 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:16.760 you could be tired, but you was like, you know, 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.200 I'm readily going to building, you know, I want to 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:23.880 see the guys. But um, that last year in New York, 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:25.720 I don't know what it was. Man, when some some 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.040 mornings when not a long clock went off, I did 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:29.880 not want to go into building. That's when I kind 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.280 of started to think about, like, you know, it may 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:36.440 be that time. Ye hey, some of us face that 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:38.840 when you're talking about morning radio and at three forty 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:45.040 five am wake up calling. It's not just the NFL. Yeah, 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.800 three forty five, man, that's rough. Pauli, Pensylvan can relay 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:51.760 it on one level. Put it that way. Look, when 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.760 we come back, we're gonna talk to Antoine Bethet about 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.720 the two thousand and twenty Cardinals and morphing into the 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.280 two thousan twenty one Cardinals and what Kyler said and 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:04.280
