I mean, 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.720 with all due respect forget about Garrett Gilbert and Cooper 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.680 Rush and Ben Danucci Danuche. I mean, these guys don't 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.480 deserve network NFL TV time. Are you kidding me, Paula, 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.360 Are you kidding me? Come on, now, we all know 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.240 it's the Hall of Fame game.

Besides, you're gonna be able to see the 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:52.120 Cardinals get after those Cowboys QBIS one week from tomorrow night. 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.800 How about that? Yeah? I like that right there, Paulie. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.240 But you know what preseason football, man, Paul, it's back. Yep. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.520 I'll take it. Man, you believe will take it, I'll 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.480 take it. It is the Big Red Rage presented by 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.160 santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford, Paul Kelbs here, 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.880 Ron Wolfley there, soon to be joined by Byron Murphy 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.680 Junior wolf Can we call him the best corner on 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.840 the Cardinals roster um? And now yet, Polly, No, I'm 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.920 not gonna Byron Murphy is a guy that really developed 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.600 an awful lot, I would say, in year two. And 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.720 you have to remember once again how Catty Wampus his 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.799 career path has been. When you consider the pandemic and 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.480 what we've been through all of us over the last 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.880 eighteen months. I would say, in particular, this is very, 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.799 very unusual, as we all know. Byron Murphy, I think 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.800 this year, this is the year he's really gonna assert himself, 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.600 whether he's playing inside or out. Paul, can you define 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.079 that real quick? What was it again? Caddy Shakus? What 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.000 was it? Watty wampus? Things disjoined it? Okay, all right, 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.919 I appreciate that. Well, okay, okay, So we'll get into 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.480 Byron Murphy obviously that that's coming up. TikTok. By the way, Wolf, 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.519 real quick practice today. Uh, if you want to talk defense, 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.360 and we're gonna talk defense the first half of the 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.000 Big Red Rage and then we'll get to the offense 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.919 the second half tonight's big show. Uh. Did you happen 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.160 to see the well, the near brawl that broke out now, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.480 I don't want to. I mean nothing, nothing like what 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.760 um the Giants just dealt with. Okay, exactly where's a 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.160 full team brawl? And then Joe Judge went just crazy 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.440 and because there was Danny Dimes at the bottom of 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.880 the pile. Okay, but hey, we had a little bit 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.680 of rooting too, and a little bit. I mean there 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.320 was some near wamping and stomping Marcus Golden of course 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.160 against Darrell Daniels. Of course it was Marcus Golden and 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:48.200 Darrell Daniels. Guess what two dogs go figure yep away, Polly. Yeah. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.000 It got it got close, It got close, but it 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.120 wasn't a full on fight. I had my cell phone 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.560 video rolling because they were lined up to meet each 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.520 other in the next round. They were coming through and 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.480 they were going to meet each other, and then x rap, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.320 and then the coaches pulled out Durrell Danielson. No, no, no no, no, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.080 Let's send somebody else up against Junkyard dog right now. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.320 We don't need this heavyweight fight at this point. PAULI 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.840 The biggest thing about that that drives me craziest. People 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.440 just don't understand. And I get it, because you know, 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.839 you think fighting is bad. It's bad, and I get 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.760 it it is bad. You want to you know, you 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.520 don't want your kid out there brawling and stuff like that. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.120 You don't want that. It is bad. Treat people with 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.080 love and respect and treat them better than yourself. That's 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.200 what you want your kid to do. Right there. Well, 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.200 when you're on a football field, Pauli, and you're playing 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.080 in the National Football League. Can I tell you right 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.919 now that that brawl fighting actually relieves a lot of tension, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:42.160 a lot of pressure, a lot of angst that has 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.039 built up in that locker room. It actually relieves it. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.679 And then what happens is you hug the guy after 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.279 you're done, and the mutual respect that goes on not 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.120 only between the guys that brawled, but everyone else that 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.800 was standing around or may have been involved. Suddenly the 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.200 mutual respect it goes up down, isn't that, Paul? I mean, 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.000 that's weird, man. I get that it's weird, but it's truth. 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.000 And I'm all about that. With the exception of your 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.560 franchise quarterback and a former top ten pick at the 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.039 bottom of the piles. So you can't have that there 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.360 limits Danny Dimes. When Danny Diimes is down, Jones down 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.840 at the bottom of the boy Yeah, you know what 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.240 the respect that his teammates have that he jumped into 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.839 the pile, Oh, Matt, it cannot be measured with human hands. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.760 All right. So look a year ago, the Cardinals, speaking 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.120 of the defense, got Isaiah Simmons, and you know, what 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.520 the biggest question you had this time a year ago? 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.320 I think is the one question Isaiah Simmons answered that 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.680 he is a dog. He will get in there, he 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.320 will stick his face mask in there, and he does 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.720 not hesitate to go in and make a big hit 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.320 and be physical. And now the Cardinals think they brought 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.960 in another guy to pair with him and Zavian Collins. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.760 And by the way, did you see the Isaiah Simmons 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.000 press conference today? We're gonna hear from him in a moment. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.679 Did you hear the comparison that he made his Zavan 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.359 Collins and what they hope to be that they can 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.680 be Devin White and Lavante David and more. Well, have 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.520 I not been sighting the Tampa Bay linebacking crew? Those 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.400 inside linebackers is the key to their Super Bowl POLLI yeah, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.240 there's no doubt about it. I think Isaiah Simmons and 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:21.680 Zaven Collins are maybe the most talented linebacking duo in 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:26.440 the league. Now, the question is can you play? That's 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.240 what we gotta see. We gotta see you play and 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.240 make plays and develop into the kind of talents we 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.880 think they are. One plus one has to equal three. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.359 And Isaiah Simmons was asked about the early returns on 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.320 pairing up. Was Zavian Collins. He's a smart kid and 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.080 man him, we kind of clicked very early. You know. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.120 I feel like as a player, you know guys that 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.400 you're like compatible with on the field and whatnot. And 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.200 I mean they're definitely compatible. So heavnings been smooth siding 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.120 so far. We're both still learning still, and look, he 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.000 admitted it's been a challenge because Isaiah Simmons has had 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.120 to learn multiple positions. What did Bill Davis, the inside 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.880 linebackers coach, tell us here in the Big Red Rage 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.520 in the offseason. They used him at six different spots 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.960 a year ago, didn't they? Yeah, they did, Paula. And 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.080 once again, you know, we can sit here and argue 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.520 whether or not that really helped him or not. And 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.240 maybe in the long run it will help him, But 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.400 in the short term, I don't know if that was 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.800 the best way to approach it. That's all I'll say 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.920 on that. But I do know this, Zavian Collins and 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.040 Isaiah Simmons, they look good so far. And you had 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.280 Devondre Campbell last year, and so if you're gonna put 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.880 the best guys out there. Devandre Campbell was the best 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.640 week side inside linebacker, was he not? Yes, he was, 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.600 Paul He no doubt. So then you tried to find 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.880 a spot for Isaiah Simmons because the kid is a 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.720 playmaker and obviously as the talent you talk about, so 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.440 now if you can pare him up. Was Zaven Collins 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.360 And it's interesting that pairing. He was asked further Isaiah 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.120 Simmons about Zavian and you know the whole thing about 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:57.160 clicking and whether that includes off the field, and Isaiah 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.200 was pretty honest about what he thought initially when it 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.560 came to Zamon Collins. I actually told Zavan this. Um. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.800 I didn't think me Andham we're gonna be good friends 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.960 when he first got here. I thought it's gonna be 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.560 a weird though. But it turns out we're actually like, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.960 really good friends. So we spent a lot of time together, 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.440 go to dinners and stuff. Uh. Yeah, I saw his interviews. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.560 I mean I just wasn't sure, so but you know 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.320 everything's turned out. Well, that's that's my guy now. And 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.440 if you didn't see the interviews on draft night, let's 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.840 just say Zavan got very emotional. Yeah, boy, that is, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:35.679 paul that's incredible to hear Isaiah Simmons actually articulate that 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.480 he didn't think they were gonna be good friends, right, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.880 That is very unusual to hear. Right there, Listen, I 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.560 think Isaiah Simmons Paulli could be the most improved player 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.720 for the Arizona Cardinals this year. Now, let's all hope 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.920 that'd be a really really good sign if in fact, 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.760 he does develop the way that I think he will. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.960 But man, I'll tell you, Polly, that is the one 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.120 guy right now. He's got so much talent, He's got 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.839 so much upside. The skills that Isaiah Simmons has. You 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.440 got to be able to bring him to bear man 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.280 on the field. You've got to be able to step 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.959 in between those white lines and produce with all of 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.679 that talent. It right there. And if he does with 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.240 all of that skill, all of his talent, Paulie, can 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.360 you imagine just how impactful Isaiah Simmons will be if 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:28.000 he reaches in plays to his skill level and his talent. Now, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.480 you've been watching practice, and I know you have noticed 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.120 how there have been three insideline backers out there quite 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.880 a bit lately. Jordan Hicks joining Zavan Collins. And now 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.840 my understanding digging a little bit on that was part 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.400 of an install that's a section or chapter in the playbook, 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.760 and so you know they're installing different faces of the 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.920 defense at different times, so they have them at their disposal. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.199 Oh maybe, just maybe that might be a really good 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.520 package against Tennessee and Derek Henry ding Ding ding Ding. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.240 Paul you win the prize right there, and it might 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.160 not be bad again Dalvin Cook in the Minnesota Vikings 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.400 as well. Yep, just saying, Paulie, it makes a lot 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.679 of sense because of the Tennessee Titans right now, I'm 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.000 telling you they're gonna line up in twelve personnel one back, 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.360 two tight ends or thirteen personnel one back, three tight 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.280 ends with Derrick Henry and his toes at eight, and 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.840 they're gonna hand off the ball and attack the line 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.760 of scrimmage. And you're not gonna run out there with 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.520 a nickel package. You're not gonna run some nickel package 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.680 out there ball. You're gonna go out there. You're gonna 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.240 have a three four defense with Chandler Jones on the outside. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.240 On one outside, you'll have Isaiah Simmons probably on the 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.920 other outside, and then Jordan Hicks inside with Zaven Collins. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.800 I think you've got to have this personnel group at 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.760 your disposal going forward for teams that are gonna run 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:48.040 power personnel packages out under the field. How much do 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.760 you think preseason's gonna help Isaiah Simmons, which he didn't 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.560 have a year ago in Zaven Collins? And look, I'm 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.360 of the opinion I think everybody has more reps, the better, 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.040 but it's gonna be so vanilla in the preseason. So 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.680 I'm curious just how prepared or how shocking might Week 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.760 one be for these guys, you know, A Paula. Honestly, 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.920 I think the Week one proposition with the Tennessee Titans 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.360 and Derrick Henry and their play action game, oh my goodness. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.920 And without a doubt, the toughest position to play in 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.400 that game is inside linebacker, whether it's week side or 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.679 the mic backer ball, that's brutal. The biggest question mark 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.160 on this team right now is inside linebacker. I think 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.480 just the risk reward involved all the talent, but what's 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.000 on a grow kind of growing pains and rookie mistakes 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.439 might there be? As Corey Peters told the meet it yesterday. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.079 It's not just making the calls in the corrections in 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.480 the set. You've got to do it instantly as a 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.719 team is coming up to the line of scrimmage checks. Hey, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.920 Byron Murphy is next on the Big Red Rage presented 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:56.960 by Santan Ford in Gilbert pass over the middle by 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.000 Sims at the forty five and dumped immediately by Murphy. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.000 Feet job right there Byron Murphy and man cover Byron Murphy. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.680 Really throwing throws it end zone near side, broken up 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.400 by Murphy. Was there against Taylor. Byron Murphy one on 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.000 one in the back of the end zone. Made a 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.440 play on the ball. Here. It is fourth and five 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.800 of the nine ers on the sixteenth of the Cardinals Garoppolo. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.559 The pass throws to the right side then complete. Murphy 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.200 steps in front of the receiver and knocks the ball down. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.320 The Cardinals takeover on downs with thirty three seconds ago. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.559 Byron Murphy makes a play on the pig. All that 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:40.960 is big time. What a play by Byron Murphy. Hey, 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.840 who says on defense you can't make plays, I mean, 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.000 Ron Wolfley, let me hit you up right here right now. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.600 In the Big Red Rage presented by Santanford and Gilbert. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.320 Before we get to our very special guests. Look, there 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.120 are a couple of a seams in football. Yes, this 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.679 is an episode of let me tell you oh no 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.120 about football. Okay, you gotta get to the quarterback, right, Yes, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.240 you gotta have a quarterback obviously, Chuck. And then guess 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.439 what would you say? It's a passing league. Yea, it 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.719 is a pass league. So then the other way you 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:14.760 train stimy a corner a quarterback is having that cornerback correct. Correct, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.160 So if you're a GM, you cover it in the draft. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.240 The quarterback, the guy can get to the quarterback, the 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.520 guy who can protect the quarterback, and then the cover 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.080 cornerback the cornerback. Paul, why are you saying all this, Paul? 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.680 Because our guest on the Big Red Rage presented by 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:35.199 Santan Ford and Gilbert Byron Murphy Junior. Here, how was 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.679 Cam going so far? How are you? Byron Man? I'm 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.120 doing good. You know, I'm just taking taking the day 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.240 by day and like you said, Cam's going great, you know, 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.480 just coming in with a mist every single day, like 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.160 I said, taking the day by day and just getting 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.520 better of my teammates as we're going to field and work. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.400 You know, it really didn't have an off season last year, 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.679 or how about this offseason? How did it go for you? 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:55.760 It wasn't great for me. You know, I got to 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.199 go my boy see Kirk and Chase. We went to 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.240 Alata train so kind of get away from on it 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.080 for a little, big old experience, something different. Um got 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.520 to the gym, you know, worked out with them for 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.559 probably about a month, so we know we got some 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.160 good team work together and then obviously you know we 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.920 got to work in But it was a great experience 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.840 for me. First time leaving Arizona for offseason workout. Did 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.040 you leave for a vacation? Did you get any mental health? 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.960 Did you get away from football season? Man? I had 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.840 to you know that that's something I gotta do after 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.680 the season, you know, just go somewhere a quick little 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.960 trip this with somebody on the team, or you know, 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.560 a family trip. But yeah, I kind of got away 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.240 to a couple of times, you know, just clear my 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.520 mind going that, go to the ocean and chill with 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.560 my son. I was gonna say, Byran, if you are 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.800 gonna kick it too, how do you kick it? Maybe 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.320 if you're gonna kick it back and go on vacation. 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.160 What do you do? Where do you go? Sometimes? You know, 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.160 I gotta go somewhere kind of close, unless, like you know, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.880 it's a trip with the boys. You know, if I 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:46.840 go somewhere close, I always to bring my son. So 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.560 I'll go to California with him, you know, disneys Land, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.120 go to the beach. He likes being in the water, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.000 so that's kind of you know, there's a trips I 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.440 take with him. I mean, he grew up here. He 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.320 probably goes to San Diego Wolf, you know what I mean, 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.280 like everyone else, right, you know, since high school. Yeah, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.720 when you're on these trips and chases on the trip, 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.640 how often do you guys start debating sports? How often 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.440 do you start arguing about the NBA and other things? Man, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.720 Chase things he's right every single day. So I gotta 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.080 I gotta make strong on him every day even if 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.960 he if he's just chilling, I'm gonna bring something else, 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.440 just you know, just to get on his nerves. But yeah, Chase, 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.640 that guy that always think he's right. But you know, 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.760 it's a lot of fun on him because as he argued, 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.520 he's funny. He gonna bring something else up, so then 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:23.960 we got to go back to two years ago or 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:28.080 something like that. That's fantastic. Man. What is it like 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:33.000 to actually play professionally in the city you were born in. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.160 It's a whole dream come true. You know, I've been 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.880 all as in Arizona. Really my whole life moved a 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.720 couple of times, but you know, the Cardinal has always 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.160 been someone I always watched. I always had players who 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.840 I've always looked up to. So, you know, just to 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.840 come home and have my family here, there's nothing better, 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.480 you know, you could ask for. Obviously, you know, coming 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:50.840 out of college, you know, I was trying to get 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.040 close with my son, so that'll just you know, another 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.080 step to make you know that connection better. So just 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.400 staying home is a blessing and you know, never take 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.040 it for granted. Byron murphyus our guests too, and it's 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.280 all about you, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert When 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.120 you were growing up, did you have a favorite Cardinals 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.400 player when you were a star at Swara, was there 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.800 a particular player two that you really enjoyed watching? Oh? Man, 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.880 you know it was Pat p. Yeah, that's easy, you know, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.920 it was Pat p. I's just someone I tried to, uh, 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.440 you know, watch his film pick My Game up off 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.440 and pick his brain when I got here. Even before 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:22.960 I tried to pick his brain because I didn't know 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.280 I was coming to the Cardinals. So you know, that 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.200 was someone I was just always watched. And obviously when 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.160 Tyro Matthew was here, I watched him as will. So 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.680 when you were talking to Zach Allen, he said when 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.960 he was a Boston college he used to study JJ 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.640 Watts tape. He worshiped J. J. Watt. He's like, oh, 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.920 when you were drafted by the Cardinals and you got 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.560 that maybe that first text from Patrick Peterson was that 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.200 a sort of welcome to the NFL moment for you man. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.400 That made me me just sit back and realize, like, bro, 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.440 I really just you know, I really just got my 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.120 name called. I'm really going to play professional football with 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.440 Pat pe Just you know, it was something that was 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.760 very emotional for me, obviously because you know, like I said, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.560 being the hometown guy I got drafted home and obviously 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.480 kind of having a connection with gods from college like 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.560 Buddha Zee Derail that went to U DUB. I wasn't 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.200 coming into a locker room and I really didn't know. 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:07.800 I know a couple of people, you know, I knew 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.720 Pat Pe a little bit, but it was kind of more, 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.720 you know, it was kind of me just thinking, you know, 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.000 I had some brothers on the team. I really so 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.200 kind of felt more comfortable just listening to you talk 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.720 over the last couple of minutes about Pat Pe and 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.159 Tyrnd Matthew. Of course, is that why you change your 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.040 number to number seven? Is that why you went with 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.520 number seven knowing that that's what they wore lsu You 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.040 know that you know that number seven just especially it 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.280 looked good, So I kind of, you know, I kind 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:33.800 of want to you know, I was seven in swal 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.520 I transferred to Suard my junior year, I wore seven. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.920 That's when I really kind of I had kind of 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:40.879 changed my life in a way. I would say, you know, 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.080 having coach like coach Mans kind of changed me. I 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.320 had see kirkter that, you know, I went under his wing. 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.480 So I think that was a year I really changed 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.399 my mindset to everything and wanted to actually, you know, 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.760 play football because I was at Hooper, but that junior 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.680 year it really made me realize that I want to 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.840 take the next step in football when you were SWARW 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.880 So you were teammates at one point with Christian Kirk. 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.159 DJ Foster is wall or was he different? I mean, 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.520 you guys just must the clown teams with all that talent. Man, 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.479 you know, I was when I transpit there my junior year. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.720 C Kirk was a senior, but DJ was there before 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.880 I got there. But obviously I know what DJ? Did 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.680 you know? Or that was all over Arizona and I 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.760 was just like, man, who is that guy? And then 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:17.840 you know, obviously I had a chance to meet him 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.720 as well. He came to war practice, came to SAR game. 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.720 So that's why football families always you know, that's for 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.520 life Byron. You're going to play in bowl spots. You're 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.760 gonna play in that slot, You're gonna play that nickel 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.280 corner position. And from time to time, I'm sure you'll 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.560 be on the outside. I'm the perimeter as well. Do 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.720 you have a preference as to where you'd like to 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.520 play inside or out? My thing is put me wherever 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.199 the best receiver is. I don't care if it's inside 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.080 or outside. I'm just trying to go out there and compete. 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.879 I could play wherever. How's your confidence right now. It 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.160 sounds sky high. Yeah, confidence gotta be key. This year, 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.320 I came in every single day making sure my confidence 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.280 was high, you know, coming in every single day, you know, 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.600 coming out here playing the sport I love. So she's 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.320 coming out here trying to bring that energy. You're gonna 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.399 see me dancing that practice, you know, not trying to 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.680 play around, just bringing that energy for the defense. Just 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.640 trying to you know, like I said, keep my confidence rides. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.080 Just keep keep talking to myself as we go through 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.560 the whole day of practice. What's what do you got 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.119 to work on? What do you think you need to 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.160 get better at a lot of stuff. I would say, 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.080 more more to myself, you know, just communicating more. So 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.080 that makes make sure the whole defense on the same page. 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:21.879 You know, being that nickel, you gotta make calls, you 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.920 gotta you know, do all that kind of controlled things 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.159 to checks and everything. Technique you never could, you know, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.280 you can never get you know enough technique right. So 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.320 that's the one. Another biggest things, just making sure you 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.520
