It 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.600 is not. It's got a lot to do with the 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.440 fact that I am walking around with a box of 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.440 Kleenex in my hand. Do you know soft that is? 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.440 I mean, honestly, right now walking around some dude, I 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.040 got the bag already, and now I got the Kleenex 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.280 in my head. It's not a good look. Well, Ron 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.799 Wolfley was doubtful for tonight show, but he's a gamer. 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.720 Here he is, He's he's on, and uh, we're all 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.320 gonna have the pleasure listening to Will Hernandez don't bury 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.360 the League CALVC putting the Big into Big Red Rage 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.840 of the free agent signing right the og the offensive 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.320 guard Will Hernandez, second guard taken in the twenty eighteen 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.919 draft behind Quenton Nelson, So we will get into all 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.840 that we'll hear from Will Hernandez. I know that's gonna 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.520 be intriguing for you, but think about well, first off, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.400 can I just tell you what my suggestion was for 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.280 the Arizona Cardinals social media team for April Fools in 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.280 terms of a prank. Thanks for asking. No, wait a minute, seriously, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.519 you did this, you actually Okay? I gave him a 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.080 suggestion to hear it. Okay. What the team needs to 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:04.800 do is Chris Rock an official Arizona Cardinals game warn helmet, 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.640 and with the helmet send him a card that reads, 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.160 you know what you need this more than we need this. 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.919 Please please wear this in good faith because you never 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.960 know when the game of football or the game of 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:20.799 life might deliver you a head slap hashtag hashtag Deacon Jones. Yeah, Polly, 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.800 I at firtunately I thought I did not believe it. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.519 I still I have my questions even to this day, 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.280 right now, I have my questions as to whether or 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.639 not it was real. You know me, Polly, I am 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.200 the grassy knoll. Okay, I don't camp out on the 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.280 grassy knoll. I am the grassy knoll. Hey, maybe it 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.600 was an early April Fools prank and we're all victims. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.280 Who knows who knows exactly? All I know is the 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.600 NFL outlawed head slaps some forty years ago. So Hollywood 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.839 and the oscars get on board. Kindly evolve your game. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.080 My goodness, what's going Think of the last twenty four 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.760 hours in April Fools. Think about Bruce Arians retiring out 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.840 of nowhere? Ron Wolfly, Oh, Polly, that is weird, right, 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.360 there be a you know what? Honestly kicked him upstairs, Paul. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.000 I wonder how Bat's gonna go. He looked pretty good. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.160 Did you see BA at his best conference today? He 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.800 looked really good too. He did. Think about the last 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.480 decade for Bruce Arians right, Think about his introductory press 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.800 conference is Arizona Cardinals head coach? He said, I'm sixty 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.720 and sexy baby, And then think about the last ten 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.920 years and everything that's evolved for a guy who never 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.240 probably would have seen a head coaching gig in the 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.280 NFL if not for Chuck Bagano. Yeah, and the fact 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.560 that he was an interim head coach and NFL Coach 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.880 of the Year. Bobby Wagner signs with the Rams five years, 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.520 fifty million worth up to sixty five. I got to 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.280 see some of the details and guaranteed cash on that 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.160 ron Wolf. Yeah, there's a couple of things. First of all, 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.479 I don't want to think of ba saying I'm sixty 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.560 and sexy. I don't want to think about that whatsoever. Okay, 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.200 that's number one. Number two, Bobby Wagner better play a 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.640 lot better than how he played up there in Seattle 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.039 all last year. And this is my fear, honestly, is 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.400 that he will. Because now all of a sudden, you've 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.400 got a guy that's been around for a long time, 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.240 a guy that has been around for a decade, who's 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.760 headed for the Hall of Fame. In my opinion, one 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.839 of the best MYC linebackers to ever play the game. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:19.479 Suddenly was turning down gaps, shall we say, last year, 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.200 turning down tackles as well, was not sticking his face 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.760 into the fan. Is this my assessment, No, it wasn't. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.120 It was assessment coming from analysts that actually worked for 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.960 the Seattle Seahawks. But now a change of scenery might 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.680 do him an awful lot of good. Paul, Yeah, maybe 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.279 he just got sick of that terrible last place defense. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.320 He still had one hundred and seventy tackles and he 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.120 missed two games. So maybe he just got sick of 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.800 being the only guy. Honestly, I mean, you know, and 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.719 you're right, Wolf, if he regains his form, think about 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.480 the Rams defense, a Ram tough defense with an all 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:57.120 Pro caliber player at every level of that defense. Aaron Donald, now, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.560 Bobby Wagner, Jalen ramsay obviously so and I mean, here 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.920 you go, here's a sports quiz. Can you name because 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.159 the Cardinals played the Rams? The Cardinals play the Rams 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.520 three times last year and I couldn't name their two 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.840 starting inside linebackers. Can you No, Polly, I can't right now. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.000 But you know what, I'm sick if I if I 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.080 was on if I was on point right now, I'd 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.360 be great. All right. It was Troy Reader and Ernie 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.000 Jones the Rock, So there you go. Those were the guys. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.880 So hence they go after Bobby Wagner. Okay, we get that, 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.440 all right? Uh, you know, more stuff flying around this 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.880 week at the owners meetings, where by the way, speaking 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.080 of Chris Rock, I still say that thirty one owners 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.240 wanted to treat Jimmy has them like Will Smith treated 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.520 Chris Rock for two hundred and thirty million guarantee. Just 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.279 go over and give Jimmy has them the bronze owner 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.039 ahead slap. We're just going to hear this all the time. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.200 Is this Is this going to be your punchline for 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.120 everything tonight? Is that what you're telling one? Right now? 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.960 I'll sease and desist. Since since you're a little irritable, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.480 you're a little irritable, I'll cease and desist. I can 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:58.960 tell you're under the weather. In fact, you know what, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:04.440 Will Smith slapping Chris Rock? Paul, we get it. Here's 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.080 a good thing you didn't slap the Rock, or else 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.480 he would have been dead. Mean now, look, Cliff Kingsbury 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.640 on Kyler Murray from the league meetings and I quote, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.640 we're in a good place. That's the business side of it. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.040 Asked about the contract. Obviously I stay out of his 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.760 things for the most part. But as far as our relationship, 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.240 it's always been great and we see him as the 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.480 long term future and I know he feels the same way. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.120 That's K two on K one. Yeah, you know what, honestly, 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.480 this is I'm going to put this into the positive category. PAULI. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.720 This is what I've been doing, right, Harry, everything that 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.400 I've been gathering, all the information that we have out 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.320 there in regard to Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.920 and their relationship going forward. I'm going to take this 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.720 and I'm gonna firmly put what Cliff Kingsbury said. I'm 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.320 gonna put that in the positive column. I don't know 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.400 how accurate it is. I just don't really care about that, 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:01.200 because to me, that's a positive statement. Okay from Cliff Kingsbury. 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.640 All right, what I want you to do. I want 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.360 you to tally up your scorecards so far, if we're 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.840 scoring at home, how many positives? How many negatives? I 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.880 want you to tally that up. You know what, Folly, 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.560 it's it's zero. It's plus or minus zero right now. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.880 It's kind of a balancing act, if you know what 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.960 I mean. Gotcha, Sea level, I get it. Okay, all right, 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.960 here's Cliff Kingsbury asked about DeAndre Hopkins coming off the 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.320 knee surgery and de Hop's rehab. Yeah. I expect you 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.560 to be and fully back some time in a nice 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.440 couple of months. And he looks great. He's been in 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.520 the facility working out and so he decided, syd there 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.319 you going. The next couple of months should be full going, 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.200 which which just goes to show you how ridiculous those 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.200 reports were that he might have been able to play 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.240 at some point in the playoffs. So the Super Bowl 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.920 when he's still on crutches in January and it's still 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.280 a couple of months till he's one hundred percent, although 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.880 he's tracking in that direction. Yes, exactly, Polly. But once again, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.520 this is good news right here. I I look back 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.640 at de Hoop going out last year and that, man, 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.280 I feel really really dumb because I didn't think it 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.040 was gonna be that big of a deal. Now, listen, 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.560 were they gonna miss jon right Hopkins. Yes, you're talking 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.160 about one of the best wide receivers in the National 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.280 Football League. There was no doubt about it. Of course 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.120 they were gonna miss d hop But to the degree 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.320 in which they missed him, I had no idea, and 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.600 I honestly don't think that Cliff Kingsbury and the coaching 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.760 staff had that kind of understanding of it as well, Paul. 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.120 And of course it brings up the question should they 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.120 have missed him that much? Because it was as if 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.880 someone just stomped on the Brakes and the Cardinals passing 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.200 game in their offense. And that's obviously one of the 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.920 objectives and initiatives here in the off season is to 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.040 improve that wide receiver room. And Cliff Kingsbury was asked, 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.160 all right, look, how is this going to shake out 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.880 on your wide receiver depth chart? I'm excited to see 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.160 you know, Rondels, that kid we drafted last year, really 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.840 a supposed to player. We didn't even plan him as 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.680 much as we probably shouldn't have because we had so 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.760 much step had the position to start, but he's the 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.199 guy who's really going to step out DeAndre and then 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.199 we'll see, you know what other editions to make. But 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.120 those two guys can really's idea? Yeah, is there a 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.360 wide receiver too in free agency? Still on the radar 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.160 waiting for the price to come down on a Jarvis 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.200 Landry or Julio Jones or maybe there's something that works 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.760 at some point with aj Green. What is your expectation 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.320 at this point, because other than quarterback, that's probably the 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.200 next question that everyone wants to know. Where are they 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.600 going to get a couple of receivers? Yeah, No, you're 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.079 right about that. Polly Um. First of all, let me 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.960 just say this, I'm really really hopeful that rondel Moore 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.000 can be that guy. Polly, do you remember our conversation 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.880 with Sean Jefferson, Oh yeah, oh yeah, and Sean Jefferson 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.920 saying about rondel Moore, there's a lot more to his 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.760 route tree, there's a lot more to his game. He's 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.040 gonna be down fueled a lot more if they were 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.320 gonna work with him exclusion. When that I don't want 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.920 to say exclusively that we're gonna work with him an 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.560 awful lot. In regard to running the eight route, which 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.880 is a post, the nine route, which is a go, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.640 the seven route, which is a corner route. These are 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.839 vertical route getting down the field, Polly, when we were 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.840 talking about rondel Moore and the impact he could possibly 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.920 have on this offense, we knew that they were going 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.079 to use him horizontally. But if you remember, Polly, I said, man, 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.960 they've got to get him vertical. He's got to be 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:21.560 a vertical threat. And once that actually happens for this offense, 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.920 they're going to be in a really, really good place. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:29.760 Because that's exactly what DeAndre Hopkins had in Houston with 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.480 the Texans, he had two guys that were run by guys, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.680 and will Fuller was one of those guys. And will Fuller, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.560 I understand he got busted for peeds last year in 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.480 twenty twenty one. I also understand he had a personal 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.360 situation he had to clean up. I understand he broke 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.920 his finger as well. But that guy's running a four 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.920 to three and can still take the top off. I 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.680 know he's been hurt a lot of his career, but man, 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.440 if there's a way you can get will Fuller in 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:04.880 here on a very very cheap contract, a veterans minimum contract, 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.520 bring him in on a proved contract. Man. I like that, Paul. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.959 You know what, Wolf a rare instance where we agree. 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.959 You know, in fact, I'm gonna have Darren Herban call 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.080 you because the europe has been all over me for 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.480 being on the will Fuller train. There's nobody who needs 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.520 a one year prove it deal like Will Fuller. With 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.400 DeAndre Hopkins and JJ Watt, get JJ Watt to start 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.160 the campaign and the recruiting pitch to will Fuller. I'm 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.800 with you on that one. Absolutely, a one year deal 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.160 at low cost. What do you have to lose at 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.839 this stage. Let's hope bron Dale Moore does evolve into 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.760 that guy that can get vertical. That'd be great, but 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.880 man will Fuller on a cheap deal. Sign him up. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.400 Hey join the Airs on a Cardinal season ticket priority 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.240 list for the twenty twenty two season. How about the 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.880 opponents at home? Not only the NSCUS. You have the 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.800 Bucks and Tom Brady, the Saints, Patrick Mall Holmes and 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.600 the Chiefs, the Chargers, Justin Herbert, the Patriots, the Eagles 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.160 a play off team, good easy Cardinals dot com slash 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.000 priority list. Will Hernandez next on the Big Red Rage 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:12.720 presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Hurry and the gun 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.480 takes the shotguns and the stand looks down. Backs up, 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.199 goes office back book. One handed catch Connor over in 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.400 the middle of the ten, inside the ten and down 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.880 in the five yard line for an eighteen yard game. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.520 What a grahabb He does it in back to back 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:30.120 weeks with one handed catchet go go, cadget staff the 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.880 peg and they run Connor up the middle. He's stuffed, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.080 but he breaks a tackle. He gets into the end 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.839 zone for a touchdown. James Connor continues to be one 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.880 of the best free agent signings maybe ever for the Cardinals. 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.240 They're gonna go wildcat Jonathan Ward in the backfield with 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.560 Connor who takes the snap. Connor runs left, He's down 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.679 to the five. It keeps defeat moving James Connor is 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.679 into the end zone for the touchdown. Well, we haven't 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.480 met an old lineman yet, have we Who doesn't like 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.200 to come off the ball right and play what the 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.840 old line likes to call the pound game. If I 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.920 got that right, Paul Pencilnack here is the last guy 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.760 you should really comment an old line play. So that's 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.760 why we bring in our very special guests, the newest 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:18.160 Arizona Cardinal, a starting guard may I surmise, and Will 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.960 her Nandez, who was putting the big into the big 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.360 red rage tonight. Will, how are we doing over there? Yeah? 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.360 I'm doing great, man. I appreciate you guys having me. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.520 What give us some first impressions. You're familiar with Arizona 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.600 to a certain degree, aren't you. I am I am 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.000 I actually born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.760 I came out to Phoenix all the time as a 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.800 kid growing up, all the way up until my high 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.240 school years and at one point two, I had some 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.960 family that lived out here, so I would come out 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.920 here and visit them. And I love it out here. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.280 I feel like I'm a part of it somehow, some way, 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.680 even though I wasn't born born here, I feel like 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.400 it's it's a part of me. I grew up here, 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.360 and I'm excited as hell to be out here. Just 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.480 the Southwest has to feel like home, right, I mean, 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.960 you go from Vegas to Utah, time in Arizona then 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.640 the Big Apple, I mean that must have been a 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.720 culture shock as a young guy O New York City, right, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.880 definitely was. Yeah, in New York City, there's a there's 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:15.120 no city like it. It was crazy, It's it's own thing, 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.640 unique and uh but definitely enjoyed my time. Yeah all right, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.160 So did you see this coming? Was this? To what degree? 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.960 Was this on your radar when the all season started 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.720 in Arizona, Cardinal? I mean, obviously as soon as our 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:32.360 season ended, uh mine started mine started moving. Where am 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.080 I going to be? Where to? Where can I play? 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.080 You know this and that? And uh, Arizona I was 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.640 a very strong place that a place that I really 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.120 wanted to play. Um, as soon as the season ended. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.120 I mean obviously one because of Coach Coogler. Two, I 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.960 you know, sort of grew up here, and uh and 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.800 three I've just you know, I've always wanted to be 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.280 a part of it. First off, you're a connection with 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.760 coach Googler. Explained to everyone, how far back you guys go. Yeah, so, 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:01.120 Coach Coogler was the one who got me out of 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.360 high school to Utah. He was the head coach at UTEP, 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.160 he was a head when he played college, got me 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.320 over there. I spent four years with him there, and 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.000 to be honest with you, he's the reason why I 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.080 even made it to the NFL in the first place. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.160 Coach the hell out of me and taught me a lot. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.320 And um, yeah, wow that's saying something. Yeah. Really you 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:26.840 attribute your status as an NFL player to Sean Coogler, sir, 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.600 I mean him a big part of it. There was 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.080 obviously my offensive line coach you know, Special Left, which 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.480 a lot of people that also helped out. But no 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.480 Coach Coogler. You know, he he knew what it took. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.840 You know, he's been in the NFL for a while. 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.680 He knew what it took. He he saw something in me, 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.200 and he made sure it got developed and brought out 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:50.000 to the max. Cardinals new offensive lineman, guard Will Hernandez 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.280 is our guest on the Big Red Rage. All right, 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.080 so give us a quick scattering report. What what can 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.800 Cardinals fans expect? What do you do well as an 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.520 old lineman? Well, first of all, I'm I'm one of 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.440 those guys that comes out and gives everything he has 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.320 all the time. You know, whether it's practice, whether it's 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.640 you know, whatever it is, whether it's a warm up, 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.520 a workout in the cafeteria, I'm always gonna give you 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.560 everything I got. You know, I have the mentality of 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.080 hating to lose, loving to win. I want to come 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.080 out and not only play for myself, player for the 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.000 guys next to me. I love football and appreciate it 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.000 as a sport because it's like the ultimate team sport. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.480 And when you have guys that want to grind just 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.000 as hard as you and want to play for each 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.320 other like, that's when it gets fun and that's what 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:34.679 I want to be a part of. And that's what 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.639 I bring to the table. You started at right guard 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.439 last year, correct, Yeah. The previous three years you were 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.720 a left guard. Yes, So is that a big deal 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.239 to you which side of the line you play? Not 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.560 really the big deal if you really think about it. 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.520 I mean, even though there's a lot of differences, it's 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.919 what maybe two three feet difference the way I see it, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.960 you know, you're moving three feet to the right, same game, 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.040 same field. You know. I knew that at some point 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.480 I would have to be exable, you know, and I 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.680 would have to you know, move around a little bit 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.000 here or there, and uh, not a big deal, uh 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.080 either either way. At the end of the day, I 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.240 just want to be out there. I want to play 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.200 and no matter where I'm at. What do you anticipate 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.960 in terms of your role as a guard, meaning when 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.600 it comes to Sean Coogler as a run game coordinator 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.880 Cliff Kingsbury this offense, do you figure you'll be required 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.160 to get out in space, be athletic poll, etc. Yeah. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:27.959 I mean, you know, you gotta be able to, you know, 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.880 do everything. But um, you know from the small glimpses 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.679 that I've seen um with the Cardinals, Yeah, I mean, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.440 you gotta be able to pull, you gotta be able 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.719 to run blog, you gotta be able to be agile 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.919 on your feet and pass block, you know, and um, 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.639 I know everything is going to be expected out of me, 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.359 and uh yeah, I mean it's not really I'm gonna 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.560 I'm gonna pick and choose what I gotta do. I'm 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.040 just gonna listen to what's needed, what they need out 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.040 of me, and that's what they're gonna get. How many 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.000 offensive line coaches did you have in four years with 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.760 the Giants? I had four? Four. It's got to be 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.879 a challenge. I mean we talk about quarterbacks have come 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.920 through here. I think it was Blaine Gabbert came through 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.920 and in seven years he had had seven different offensive coordinators. 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.040 I mean, that's got to be a challenge. Four old 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.160 line coaches in four years. Yeah, you know, it's not ideal, 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:16.640 but you know, at the end of the day, it's 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.840 part of the business. It's it's kind of how the 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.159 you know, the cookie crumbles and sometimes you know, the 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.720 cookie's good, sometimes the cookie's bad, you know, but it's 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.880 all good. Um well, I can understand though, that your 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.520 desire maybe to reunite with Sean Coogler. So what do 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.760 you think he does for you specifically? I mean, first 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.680 of all, you know, we we have that strong connection, 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.320 you know, that respect towards each other. I want to 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.159 play hard for him, I want to do good for him. 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:42.600 I want to make him look good. And I know 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:44.919 he cares about me as a player, as a you know, 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.520 he wants the best for me, you know. So we 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:51.359 have that. And then besides that connection, you know, the 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.679 guy knows exactly what he's doing. You know, he's very 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.800 good at what he does. And I'm not the only 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.399 one that thinks though, so um, just that alone, I 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:01.960 think when you have a strong connection like that and 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.479 you respect one another and you know you you know 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.639 what the guy can do, it just brings out the 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.040 best in you. We're gonna bring out the best in 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.639 each other. And that's what really gets me excited because 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:12.960 you know, as he's bringing the best out of me 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:14.920 and I'm bringing the best out of him, it's only 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.680 gonna help help the team. And uh, you know that's 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.800 what gets me going. Will Hernandez our guests on the 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.240
