Speaker 1: In fact, my understanding. Here's sources telling telling CALVISI consulting
Speaker 1: that Ron Wolfley will be taking tomorrow off just in
Speaker 1: honor of his favorite holiday. So, I mean, who knows
Speaker 1: what that whacky, crazy guy Ron Wolfley has planned this
Speaker 1: year for a little April Fools prank. It could come
Speaker 1: at any moment, anytime over the next hour here on
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 1: You know, even though I love where you're going on
Speaker 1: this one, Polly, I can tell you right now I
Speaker 1: wish it was something to do with April Fools. It
Speaker 1: is not. It's got a lot to do with the
Speaker 1: fact that I am walking around with a box of
Speaker 1: Kleenex in my hand. Do you know soft that is?
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, right now walking around some dude, I
Speaker 1: got the bag already, and now I got the Kleenex
Speaker 1: in my head. It's not a good look. Well, Ron
Speaker 1: Wolfley was doubtful for tonight show, but he's a gamer.
Speaker 1: Here he is, He's he's on, and uh, we're all
Speaker 1: gonna have the pleasure listening to Will Hernandez don't bury
Speaker 1: the League CALVC putting the Big into Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: of the free agent signing right the og the offensive
Speaker 1: guard Will Hernandez, second guard taken in the twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: draft behind Quenton Nelson, So we will get into all
Speaker 1: that we'll hear from Will Hernandez. I know that's gonna
Speaker 1: be intriguing for you, but think about well, first off,
Speaker 1: can I just tell you what my suggestion was for
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals social media team for April Fools in
Speaker 1: terms of a prank. Thanks for asking. No, wait a minute, seriously,
Speaker 1: you did this, you actually Okay? I gave him a
Speaker 1: suggestion to hear it. Okay. What the team needs to
Speaker 1: do is Chris Rock an official Arizona Cardinals game warn helmet,
Speaker 1: and with the helmet send him a card that reads,
Speaker 1: you know what you need this more than we need this.
Speaker 1: Please please wear this in good faith because you never
Speaker 1: know when the game of football or the game of
Speaker 1: life might deliver you a head slap hashtag hashtag Deacon Jones. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: I at firtunately I thought I did not believe it.
Speaker 1: I still I have my questions even to this day,
Speaker 1: right now, I have my questions as to whether or
Speaker 1: not it was real. You know me, Polly, I am
Speaker 1: the grassy knoll. Okay, I don't camp out on the
Speaker 1: grassy knoll. I am the grassy knoll. Hey, maybe it
Speaker 1: was an early April Fools prank and we're all victims.
Speaker 1: Who knows who knows exactly? All I know is the
Speaker 1: NFL outlawed head slaps some forty years ago. So Hollywood
Speaker 1: and the oscars get on board. Kindly evolve your game.
Speaker 1: My goodness, what's going Think of the last twenty four
Speaker 1: hours in April Fools. Think about Bruce Arians retiring out
Speaker 1: of nowhere? Ron Wolfly, Oh, Polly, that is weird, right,
Speaker 1: there be a you know what? Honestly kicked him upstairs, Paul.
Speaker 1: I wonder how Bat's gonna go. He looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: Did you see BA at his best conference today? He
Speaker 1: looked really good too. He did. Think about the last
Speaker 1: decade for Bruce Arians right, Think about his introductory press
Speaker 1: conference is Arizona Cardinals head coach? He said, I'm sixty
Speaker 1: and sexy baby, And then think about the last ten
Speaker 1: years and everything that's evolved for a guy who never
Speaker 1: probably would have seen a head coaching gig in the
Speaker 1: NFL if not for Chuck Bagano. Yeah, and the fact
Speaker 1: that he was an interim head coach and NFL Coach
Speaker 1: of the Year. Bobby Wagner signs with the Rams five years,
Speaker 1: fifty million worth up to sixty five. I got to
Speaker 1: see some of the details and guaranteed cash on that
Speaker 1: ron Wolf. Yeah, there's a couple of things. First of all,
Speaker 1: I don't want to think of ba saying I'm sixty
Speaker 1: and sexy. I don't want to think about that whatsoever. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two, Bobby Wagner better play a
Speaker 1: lot better than how he played up there in Seattle
Speaker 1: all last year. And this is my fear, honestly, is
Speaker 1: that he will. Because now all of a sudden, you've
Speaker 1: got a guy that's been around for a long time,
Speaker 1: a guy that has been around for a decade, who's
Speaker 1: headed for the Hall of Fame. In my opinion, one
Speaker 1: of the best MYC linebackers to ever play the game.
Speaker 1: Suddenly was turning down gaps, shall we say, last year,
Speaker 1: turning down tackles as well, was not sticking his face
Speaker 1: into the fan. Is this my assessment, No, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was assessment coming from analysts that actually worked for
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. But now a change of scenery might
Speaker 1: do him an awful lot of good. Paul, Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: he just got sick of that terrible last place defense.
Speaker 1: He still had one hundred and seventy tackles and he
Speaker 1: missed two games. So maybe he just got sick of
Speaker 1: being the only guy. Honestly, I mean, you know, and
Speaker 1: you're right, Wolf, if he regains his form, think about
Speaker 1: the Rams defense, a Ram tough defense with an all
Speaker 1: Pro caliber player at every level of that defense. Aaron Donald, now,
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, Jalen ramsay obviously so and I mean, here
Speaker 1: you go, here's a sports quiz. Can you name because
Speaker 1: the Cardinals played the Rams? The Cardinals play the Rams
Speaker 1: three times last year and I couldn't name their two
Speaker 1: starting inside linebackers. Can you No, Polly, I can't right now.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm sick if I if I
Speaker 1: was on if I was on point right now, I'd
Speaker 1: be great. All right. It was Troy Reader and Ernie
Speaker 1: Jones the Rock, So there you go. Those were the guys.
Speaker 1: So hence they go after Bobby Wagner. Okay, we get that,
Speaker 1: all right? Uh, you know, more stuff flying around this
Speaker 1: week at the owners meetings, where by the way, speaking
Speaker 1: of Chris Rock, I still say that thirty one owners
Speaker 1: wanted to treat Jimmy has them like Will Smith treated
Speaker 1: Chris Rock for two hundred and thirty million guarantee. Just
Speaker 1: go over and give Jimmy has them the bronze owner
Speaker 1: ahead slap. We're just going to hear this all the time.
Speaker 1: Is this Is this going to be your punchline for
Speaker 1: everything tonight? Is that what you're telling one? Right now?
Speaker 1: I'll sease and desist. Since since you're a little irritable,
Speaker 1: you're a little irritable, I'll cease and desist. I can
Speaker 1: tell you're under the weather. In fact, you know what,
Speaker 1: Will Smith slapping Chris Rock? Paul, we get it. Here's
Speaker 1: a good thing you didn't slap the Rock, or else
Speaker 1: he would have been dead. Mean now, look, Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray from the league meetings and I quote,
Speaker 1: we're in a good place. That's the business side of it.
Speaker 1: Asked about the contract. Obviously I stay out of his
Speaker 1: things for the most part. But as far as our relationship,
Speaker 1: it's always been great and we see him as the
Speaker 1: long term future and I know he feels the same way.
Speaker 1: That's K two on K one. Yeah, you know what, honestly,
Speaker 1: this is I'm going to put this into the positive category. PAULI.
Speaker 1: This is what I've been doing, right, Harry, everything that
Speaker 1: I've been gathering, all the information that we have out
Speaker 1: there in regard to Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: and their relationship going forward. I'm going to take this
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna firmly put what Cliff Kingsbury said. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put that in the positive column. I don't know
Speaker 1: how accurate it is. I just don't really care about that,
Speaker 1: because to me, that's a positive statement. Okay from Cliff Kingsbury.
Speaker 1: All right, what I want you to do. I want
Speaker 1: you to tally up your scorecards so far, if we're
Speaker 1: scoring at home, how many positives? How many negatives? I
Speaker 1: want you to tally that up. You know what, Folly,
Speaker 1: it's it's zero. It's plus or minus zero right now.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a balancing act, if you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Gotcha, Sea level, I get it. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: here's Cliff Kingsbury asked about DeAndre Hopkins coming off the
Speaker 1: knee surgery and de Hop's rehab. Yeah. I expect you
Speaker 1: to be and fully back some time in a nice
Speaker 1: couple of months. And he looks great. He's been in
Speaker 1: the facility working out and so he decided, syd there
Speaker 1: you going. The next couple of months should be full going,
Speaker 1: which which just goes to show you how ridiculous those
Speaker 1: reports were that he might have been able to play
Speaker 1: at some point in the playoffs. So the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: when he's still on crutches in January and it's still
Speaker 1: a couple of months till he's one hundred percent, although
Speaker 1: he's tracking in that direction. Yes, exactly, Polly. But once again,
Speaker 1: this is good news right here. I I look back
Speaker 1: at de Hoop going out last year and that, man,
Speaker 1: I feel really really dumb because I didn't think it
Speaker 1: was gonna be that big of a deal. Now, listen,
Speaker 1: were they gonna miss jon right Hopkins. Yes, you're talking
Speaker 1: about one of the best wide receivers in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. There was no doubt about it. Of course
Speaker 1: they were gonna miss d hop But to the degree
Speaker 1: in which they missed him, I had no idea, and
Speaker 1: I honestly don't think that Cliff Kingsbury and the coaching
Speaker 1: staff had that kind of understanding of it as well, Paul.
Speaker 1: And of course it brings up the question should they
Speaker 1: have missed him that much? Because it was as if
Speaker 1: someone just stomped on the Brakes and the Cardinals passing
Speaker 1: game in their offense. And that's obviously one of the
Speaker 1: objectives and initiatives here in the off season is to
Speaker 1: improve that wide receiver room. And Cliff Kingsbury was asked,
Speaker 1: all right, look, how is this going to shake out
Speaker 1: on your wide receiver depth chart? I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: you know, Rondels, that kid we drafted last year, really
Speaker 1: a supposed to player. We didn't even plan him as
Speaker 1: much as we probably shouldn't have because we had so
Speaker 1: much step had the position to start, but he's the
Speaker 1: guy who's really going to step out DeAndre and then
Speaker 1: we'll see, you know what other editions to make. But
Speaker 1: those two guys can really's idea? Yeah, is there a
Speaker 1: wide receiver too in free agency? Still on the radar
Speaker 1: waiting for the price to come down on a Jarvis
Speaker 1: Landry or Julio Jones or maybe there's something that works
Speaker 1: at some point with aj Green. What is your expectation
Speaker 1: at this point, because other than quarterback, that's probably the
Speaker 1: next question that everyone wants to know. Where are they
Speaker 1: going to get a couple of receivers? Yeah, No, you're
Speaker 1: right about that. Polly Um. First of all, let me
Speaker 1: just say this, I'm really really hopeful that rondel Moore
Speaker 1: can be that guy. Polly, do you remember our conversation
Speaker 1: with Sean Jefferson, Oh yeah, oh yeah, and Sean Jefferson
Speaker 1: saying about rondel Moore, there's a lot more to his
Speaker 1: route tree, there's a lot more to his game. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be down fueled a lot more if they were
Speaker 1: gonna work with him exclusion. When that I don't want
Speaker 1: to say exclusively that we're gonna work with him an
Speaker 1: awful lot. In regard to running the eight route, which
Speaker 1: is a post, the nine route, which is a go,
Speaker 1: the seven route, which is a corner route. These are
Speaker 1: vertical route getting down the field, Polly, when we were
Speaker 1: talking about rondel Moore and the impact he could possibly
Speaker 1: have on this offense, we knew that they were going
Speaker 1: to use him horizontally. But if you remember, Polly, I said, man,
Speaker 1: they've got to get him vertical. He's got to be
Speaker 1: a vertical threat. And once that actually happens for this offense,
Speaker 1: they're going to be in a really, really good place.
Speaker 1: Because that's exactly what DeAndre Hopkins had in Houston with
Speaker 1: the Texans, he had two guys that were run by guys,
Speaker 1: and will Fuller was one of those guys. And will Fuller,
Speaker 1: I understand he got busted for peeds last year in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I also understand he had a personal
Speaker 1: situation he had to clean up. I understand he broke
Speaker 1: his finger as well. But that guy's running a four
Speaker 1: to three and can still take the top off. I
Speaker 1: know he's been hurt a lot of his career, but man,
Speaker 1: if there's a way you can get will Fuller in
Speaker 1: here on a very very cheap contract, a veterans minimum contract,
Speaker 1: bring him in on a proved contract. Man. I like that, Paul.
Speaker 1: You know what, Wolf a rare instance where we agree.
Speaker 1: You know, in fact, I'm gonna have Darren Herban call
Speaker 1: you because the europe has been all over me for
Speaker 1: being on the will Fuller train. There's nobody who needs
Speaker 1: a one year prove it deal like Will Fuller. With
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and JJ Watt, get JJ Watt to start
Speaker 1: the campaign and the recruiting pitch to will Fuller. I'm
Speaker 1: with you on that one. Absolutely, a one year deal
Speaker 1: at low cost. What do you have to lose at
Speaker 1: this stage. Let's hope bron Dale Moore does evolve into
Speaker 1: that guy that can get vertical. That'd be great, but
Speaker 1: man will Fuller on a cheap deal. Sign him up.
Speaker 1: Hey join the Airs on a Cardinal season ticket priority
Speaker 1: list for the twenty twenty two season. How about the
Speaker 1: opponents at home? Not only the NSCUS. You have the
Speaker 1: Bucks and Tom Brady, the Saints, Patrick Mall Holmes and
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Chargers, Justin Herbert, the Patriots, the Eagles
Speaker 1: a play off team, good easy Cardinals dot com slash
Speaker 1: priority list. Will Hernandez next on the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Hurry and the gun
Speaker 1: takes the shotguns and the stand looks down. Backs up,
Speaker 1: goes office back book. One handed catch Connor over in
Speaker 1: the middle of the ten, inside the ten and down
Speaker 1: in the five yard line for an eighteen yard game.
Speaker 1: What a grahabb He does it in back to back
Speaker 1: weeks with one handed catchet go go, cadget staff the
Speaker 1: peg and they run Connor up the middle. He's stuffed,
Speaker 1: but he breaks a tackle. He gets into the end
Speaker 1: zone for a touchdown. James Connor continues to be one
Speaker 1: of the best free agent signings maybe ever for the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: They're gonna go wildcat Jonathan Ward in the backfield with
Speaker 1: Connor who takes the snap. Connor runs left, He's down
Speaker 1: to the five. It keeps defeat moving James Connor is
Speaker 1: into the end zone for the touchdown. Well, we haven't
Speaker 1: met an old lineman yet, have we Who doesn't like
Speaker 1: to come off the ball right and play what the
Speaker 1: old line likes to call the pound game. If I
Speaker 1: got that right, Paul Pencilnack here is the last guy
Speaker 1: you should really comment an old line play. So that's
Speaker 1: why we bring in our very special guests, the newest
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinal, a starting guard may I surmise, and Will
Speaker 1: her Nandez, who was putting the big into the big
Speaker 1: red rage tonight. Will, how are we doing over there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, man. I appreciate you guys having me.
Speaker 1: What give us some first impressions. You're familiar with Arizona
Speaker 1: to a certain degree, aren't you. I am I am
Speaker 1: I actually born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and
Speaker 1: I came out to Phoenix all the time as a
Speaker 1: kid growing up, all the way up until my high
Speaker 1: school years and at one point two, I had some
Speaker 1: family that lived out here, so I would come out
Speaker 1: here and visit them. And I love it out here.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a part of it somehow, some way,
Speaker 1: even though I wasn't born born here, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's it's a part of me. I grew up here,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited as hell to be out here. Just
Speaker 1: the Southwest has to feel like home, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: you go from Vegas to Utah, time in Arizona then
Speaker 1: the Big Apple, I mean that must have been a
Speaker 1: culture shock as a young guy O New York City, right,
Speaker 1: definitely was. Yeah, in New York City, there's a there's
Speaker 1: no city like it. It was crazy, It's it's own thing,
Speaker 1: unique and uh but definitely enjoyed my time. Yeah all right,
Speaker 1: So did you see this coming? Was this? To what degree?
Speaker 1: Was this on your radar when the all season started
Speaker 1: in Arizona, Cardinal? I mean, obviously as soon as our
Speaker 1: season ended, uh mine started mine started moving. Where am
Speaker 1: I going to be? Where to? Where can I play?
Speaker 1: You know this and that? And uh, Arizona I was
Speaker 1: a very strong place that a place that I really
Speaker 1: wanted to play. Um, as soon as the season ended.
Speaker 1: I mean obviously one because of Coach Coogler. Two, I
Speaker 1: you know, sort of grew up here, and uh and
Speaker 1: three I've just you know, I've always wanted to be
Speaker 1: a part of it. First off, you're a connection with
Speaker 1: coach Googler. Explained to everyone, how far back you guys go. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: Coach Coogler was the one who got me out of
Speaker 1: high school to Utah. He was the head coach at UTEP,
Speaker 1: he was a head when he played college, got me
Speaker 1: over there. I spent four years with him there, and
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, he's the reason why I
Speaker 1: even made it to the NFL in the first place.
Speaker 1: Coach the hell out of me and taught me a lot.
Speaker 1: And um, yeah, wow that's saying something. Yeah. Really you
Speaker 1: attribute your status as an NFL player to Sean Coogler, sir,
Speaker 1: I mean him a big part of it. There was
Speaker 1: obviously my offensive line coach you know, Special Left, which
Speaker 1: a lot of people that also helped out. But no
Speaker 1: Coach Coogler. You know, he he knew what it took.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been in the NFL for a while.
Speaker 1: He knew what it took. He he saw something in me,
Speaker 1: and he made sure it got developed and brought out
Speaker 1: to the max. Cardinals new offensive lineman, guard Will Hernandez
Speaker 1: is our guest on the Big Red Rage. All right,
Speaker 1: so give us a quick scattering report. What what can
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans expect? What do you do well as an
Speaker 1: old lineman? Well, first of all, I'm I'm one of
Speaker 1: those guys that comes out and gives everything he has
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, whether it's practice, whether it's
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is, whether it's a warm up,
Speaker 1: a workout in the cafeteria, I'm always gonna give you
Speaker 1: everything I got. You know, I have the mentality of
Speaker 1: hating to lose, loving to win. I want to come
Speaker 1: out and not only play for myself, player for the
Speaker 1: guys next to me. I love football and appreciate it
Speaker 1: as a sport because it's like the ultimate team sport.
Speaker 1: And when you have guys that want to grind just
Speaker 1: as hard as you and want to play for each
Speaker 1: other like, that's when it gets fun and that's what
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of. And that's what
Speaker 1: I bring to the table. You started at right guard
Speaker 1: last year, correct, Yeah. The previous three years you were
Speaker 1: a left guard. Yes, So is that a big deal
Speaker 1: to you which side of the line you play? Not
Speaker 1: really the big deal if you really think about it.
Speaker 1: I mean, even though there's a lot of differences, it's
Speaker 1: what maybe two three feet difference the way I see it,
Speaker 1: you know, you're moving three feet to the right, same game,
Speaker 1: same field. You know. I knew that at some point
Speaker 1: I would have to be exable, you know, and I
Speaker 1: would have to you know, move around a little bit
Speaker 1: here or there, and uh, not a big deal, uh
Speaker 1: either either way. At the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: just want to be out there. I want to play
Speaker 1: and no matter where I'm at. What do you anticipate
Speaker 1: in terms of your role as a guard, meaning when
Speaker 1: it comes to Sean Coogler as a run game coordinator
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury this offense, do you figure you'll be required
Speaker 1: to get out in space, be athletic poll, etc. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you gotta be able to, you know,
Speaker 1: do everything. But um, you know from the small glimpses
Speaker 1: that I've seen um with the Cardinals, Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to pull, you gotta be able
Speaker 1: to run blog, you gotta be able to be agile
Speaker 1: on your feet and pass block, you know, and um,
Speaker 1: I know everything is going to be expected out of me,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I mean it's not really I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick and choose what I gotta do. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna listen to what's needed, what they need out
Speaker 1: of me, and that's what they're gonna get. How many
Speaker 1: offensive line coaches did you have in four years with
Speaker 1: the Giants? I had four? Four. It's got to be
Speaker 1: a challenge. I mean we talk about quarterbacks have come
Speaker 1: through here. I think it was Blaine Gabbert came through
Speaker 1: and in seven years he had had seven different offensive coordinators.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's got to be a challenge. Four old
Speaker 1: line coaches in four years. Yeah, you know, it's not ideal,
Speaker 1: but you know, at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 1: part of the business. It's it's kind of how the
Speaker 1: you know, the cookie crumbles and sometimes you know, the
Speaker 1: cookie's good, sometimes the cookie's bad, you know, but it's
Speaker 1: all good. Um well, I can understand though, that your
Speaker 1: desire maybe to reunite with Sean Coogler. So what do
Speaker 1: you think he does for you specifically? I mean, first
Speaker 1: of all, you know, we we have that strong connection,
Speaker 1: you know, that respect towards each other. I want to
Speaker 1: play hard for him, I want to do good for him.
Speaker 1: I want to make him look good. And I know
Speaker 1: he cares about me as a player, as a you know,
Speaker 1: he wants the best for me, you know. So we
Speaker 1: have that. And then besides that connection, you know, the
Speaker 1: guy knows exactly what he's doing. You know, he's very
Speaker 1: good at what he does. And I'm not the only
Speaker 1: one that thinks though, so um, just that alone, I
Speaker 1: think when you have a strong connection like that and
Speaker 1: you respect one another and you know you you know
Speaker 1: what the guy can do, it just brings out the
Speaker 1: best in you. We're gonna bring out the best in
Speaker 1: each other. And that's what really gets me excited because
Speaker 1: you know, as he's bringing the best out of me
Speaker 1: and I'm bringing the best out of him, it's only
Speaker 1: gonna help help the team. And uh, you know that's
Speaker 1: what gets me going. Will Hernandez our guests on the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage It's all about You sponsored by santan Ford.
Speaker 1: So you know what's interesting about that you come out
Speaker 1: of college and according to Pro Football Focus and don't
Speaker 1: get Justin Pugh started on the PF grades for offensive
Speaker 1: line and okay, let's go off into like a ten
Speaker 1: minute ran. Okay, but but your PF grades were the
Speaker 1: best as a rookie of your NFL career. Could that
Speaker 1: be a correlation to coming off all that time with
Speaker 1: Sean Coogler and entering the league. Well, I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: off and uh, I'm with Justin on this one. But
Speaker 1: besides that, um yeah, I definitely think there is correlation there.
Speaker 1: And you know, I never got into how the whole
Speaker 1: system works and all that, but um yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I guess it makes sense, you know, and and and
Speaker 1: not only that, not only looking at the BFF grades,
Speaker 1: but how I felt playing, how I looked at my
Speaker 1: cell phone film. You know, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: Coogler on the tape, um, as you could say, and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, and as you know, as the years went
Speaker 1: by and stuff, you know, uh Coogler thing was always there,
Speaker 1: but you know it wasn't as repetitive and you didn't
Speaker 1: see it every day as I did when I was
Speaker 1: back at Utah. So um, but yeah, definitely some correlation there.
Speaker 1: How different will it be blocking for a really athletic
Speaker 1: quarterback like Kyler Murray versus a traditional drop back quarterback
Speaker 1: in Danny Dimes. Oh, you know, you gotta be ready
Speaker 1: to move your feet and not just move your feet,
Speaker 1: but move them a lot longer and uh a lot
Speaker 1: more time. But either way, it's uh, it's all good. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. Um. You know, I had a
Speaker 1: couple of quarterbacks you know, nowhere near Kyler's level, but
Speaker 1: guys that were like like to run around and you know,
Speaker 1: we're very mobile and fast and you know, like to
Speaker 1: make plays on with their feet. So I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not the first time I'm going to see this or
Speaker 1: be around it, but you know, I'm definitely excited to
Speaker 1: be able to block for a quarterback like that new
Speaker 1: Cardinals offensive linean Will Hernandez our guests. Not the first
Speaker 1: time you're going to be around Marcus Golden as well, right,
Speaker 1: didn't you guy? You guys share a locker or well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are locker mates in New York
Speaker 1: for a while. That's my boy, Yes, sir, you know,
Speaker 1: we had a chance to be locker buddies for a
Speaker 1: little while and I got to know him very well,
Speaker 1: and throughout that time he gave me a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of not only on the field advice, but
Speaker 1: off the field advice and talk to me not only
Speaker 1: as a player, but as a person. And I think
Speaker 1: that's just one thing that he does very well. And
Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys can attest to this.
Speaker 1: He connect with you on a deeper level, and not
Speaker 1: not because he feels like he has to or because
Speaker 1: of the number of years he's been in the league,
Speaker 1: but because this is like who he is, Like he's
Speaker 1: just one of those souls that cares for others. And
Speaker 1: you know, he does well and what he does and
Speaker 1: wants to everybody else, it wants to bring everybody else
Speaker 1: up with him, mister energy. As he ever had a
Speaker 1: bad day, Marcus Gold, And I always asked this question
Speaker 1: as Marcus Gold never had a bad day, No bad days,
Speaker 1: no bad days with Marcus Gold. All Right, So I'm
Speaker 1: told that you're the tour guy to Mexico City, that
Speaker 1: Cardinals are going to Mexico City this year, that you're
Speaker 1: the guy tell us about your connection. Oh yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: be translating and everything. Yeah. So my parents are from
Speaker 1: Mexico City, born and raised. You know, I'm Mexican. My
Speaker 1: whole family is, and my whole dad's side of the
Speaker 1: family actually still lives in Mexico. He has about five brothers,
Speaker 1: one sister and they're all there with all their families.
Speaker 1: So I have a lot of family back in Mexico City.
Speaker 1: And when I found out that Cardinals were playing in
Speaker 1: Mexico City this year, I was pumped and so was
Speaker 1: my family. Yeah, this is something there's a huge deal
Speaker 1: to us, not only on the field, but off the field,
Speaker 1: and very near and dear to my heart that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna even have that chance to go play in front
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, that's gonna be meaningful for you. Right
Speaker 1: a Stadio Azteca, right, one hundred thousand plus people in
Speaker 1: that stadium. That's gonna be a big deal. That'll be
Speaker 1: a memorable road trip in your career. Huge deal herege deal.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about it. How do you say pancake
Speaker 1: block in Spanish? Um? And I think this would be
Speaker 1: a better question for Contu, But I got you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do my best. You know, in my household, we
Speaker 1: used to call him hoot cakes hot cakes. We just
Speaker 1: call him hoodcake. There you go, there you go. You
Speaker 1: know what we will defer to Rolando count on that
Speaker 1: you're familiar with Rolando then, right, Yeah, the first Mexican
Speaker 1: born position player in NFL history and former Cardinals offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: You're familiar with that, very familiar with him, um coming
Speaker 1: out my rookie year. I mean yeah, coming out in
Speaker 1: my first year in the league. He um interviewed me
Speaker 1: a few times, and we also talked a lot off
Speaker 1: the field and on social media. So yeah, I got
Speaker 1: to know him very well. You know, he's awesome. He's
Speaker 1: been keeping up with me ever since I came into
Speaker 1: the league. So yeah, we have a good relationship and
Speaker 1: awesome guy. That's great. That's great. Well, you're the second
Speaker 1: guard drafted in the twenty eighteen draft behind Quenton Nelson. Correct, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: and round two I saw your Twitter handle as at
Speaker 1: will Hernandez seventy six. So is that your number with
Speaker 1: the Cardinals? Do we know yet? We don't know yet.
Speaker 1: I don't even know yet. I haven't even really put
Speaker 1: thought about it. We'll see if if they got you know,
Speaker 1: my number, just keep it keep it going. If not,
Speaker 1: then we'll see. But uh, yeah, we'll see what's going
Speaker 1: on with that. Well, it's been great to make the connection.
Speaker 1: We look forward to this season. Well, and so you're
Speaker 1: reuniting with Colt McCoy. Did you cross pass with Justin
Speaker 1: pu or New York or No? No, when I was,
Speaker 1: he was gone by the time I got there. So
Speaker 1: but I have been talking to him over the years.
Speaker 1: A lot of the people that I met in New
Speaker 1: York knew him very well and linked us up. And
Speaker 1: you know, we're able to talk a little bit throughout
Speaker 1: the year. So I feel like I've known him even
Speaker 1: though I haven't been around him, you know. But yeah, well,
Speaker 1: good luck trying to get a word in edgewise in
Speaker 1: the old line room with Justin Pugh and DJ Helpers
Speaker 1: and Josh Jones. So it's gonna be a good room.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. Thanks Will appreciator, Thank you.
Speaker 1: There you go, Cardinals new offensive lineman, re agent signing,
Speaker 1: Will her Nandez joining us on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: We continue right after this snapped A Rogers dropped back.
Speaker 1: He's in trouble, rolling left, Big Chase gets hit, launches
Speaker 1: at the middle of the field in the end zone.
Speaker 1: It is, oh my goodness, it's caught. It's caught her
Speaker 1: and touchdown. You can't be serious. A tondown for Green Bay.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, there are no words. It was like
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. So it ended end of regulation. You're like,
Speaker 1: two hill, Mary's right, two hell Marry abouta what are
Speaker 1: you doing on the first round? Knocked that ball down
Speaker 1: on the second one, so like you're just so dejected
Speaker 1: and Aaron just did this. So I'm going out to
Speaker 1: the coin toss. I'm like, please, Lord, just let us
Speaker 1: win this coin toss because we can't go into overtime
Speaker 1: one defense after he just did that, and so we
Speaker 1: got fortunately able to win the coin toss, and Ba
Speaker 1: came right over to me was like, there it is
Speaker 1: what we want to run. I was like cool, called
Speaker 1: says Buzz running Ford and I started running and like
Speaker 1: nobody's with me. I was like, that's cool. I liked it.
Speaker 1: It's us White open one of the thirty five phonies.
Speaker 1: There he's in the morning at the fifty turns up
Speaker 1: the field of the forty five and in the morning
Speaker 1: thirty five the thirty monty F'm tunny fitz to the
Speaker 1: near side down to the mind tackle there open course
Speaker 1: of barb so Larry Fitzgerald on the other side of
Speaker 1: the field and threw it while moving on the run,
Speaker 1: and Larry Fitzgerald, the Legend, took over and did the rest.
Speaker 1: I told Wolf, I actually phoned up to the to
Speaker 1: the bonds right and over time I'm starting, I told
Speaker 1: him listening, I'm gonna go to the left. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: break a few tacklers. I'm gonna go tackler to five.
Speaker 1: So get what you're gonna say prepared and so you
Speaker 1: so you look good, and it sound like to live
Speaker 1: on forever. And he took the advice, and Graham with
Speaker 1: it stamped the palmer rolls off. He as a pinch
Speaker 1: defense running trade head hit the ends down to shut
Speaker 1: the vest that touched down of the wind. But Cardinals
Speaker 1: advance to the NFC Championship game. What a shovel pass,
Speaker 1: of all things and one of the craziest games ever
Speaker 1: fits on the shovel paths stores and the Cardinals winning
Speaker 1: it overtime twenty six to twenty eight. Let that breathe
Speaker 1: a little bit fitting punctuation. Calling Larry's number on a
Speaker 1: play they'd been sitting on for two years. They run it,
Speaker 1: ran it every Friday in practice, and then finally they
Speaker 1: called it in a game after the Hail mary S
Speaker 1: Firm Aaron Rodgers gave way to the Hail Larry in overtime,
Speaker 1: and that was Fitz recounting on a past edition to
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage Wolf, and he drilled deep into it.
Speaker 1: He gave some great insight, great personality there and describing
Speaker 1: it and uh, you know what, you and passion nailed
Speaker 1: the call and it will live forever. You know what
Speaker 1: I love about that call most of all was Dave
Speaker 1: Pass with the stiff arm since year old, without even
Speaker 1: batting an eyelash. I mean, that is exactly who Pass is.
Speaker 1: He just nailed it, and that is the best part
Speaker 1: of the seventy five yard catching run. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Then oh look boom, just a no stiff arm. I know,
Speaker 1: he looked like he didn't even see the guy, right,
Speaker 1: and he just stuck the arm. Go go, gadget stiff farm.
Speaker 1: It's like Larry is one of those professional bikers guy
Speaker 1: one of those rear view mirrors hanging off his helmet,
Speaker 1: you know, and he could see the guy in his
Speaker 1: rear view and he just gave him the stiff arm right,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Yeah, but that's also our intro
Speaker 1: into the new overtime rule and the coin toss because
Speaker 1: earlier this week, owners passed that coltson Eagles overtime proposal,
Speaker 1: thereby allowing for both teams to have a possession in
Speaker 1: the playoffs only, meaning if the team possessing the ball
Speaker 1: first and overtime scores a touchdown on that series, the
Speaker 1: opponent still gets a possession, whereas previously that touchdown would
Speaker 1: have ended the game. No longer, no moss, so once
Speaker 1: a bully. Yeah, I did you want to say something
Speaker 1: else about this, Paul? Well, I don't know if I
Speaker 1: have time, because I'm I'm anticipating a seven minute rant
Speaker 1: right now from you. I will just say this, Wealth,
Speaker 1: no matter what you say, no matter how much sense
Speaker 1: you make about the game of football, the team that
Speaker 1: had won the overtime coin flip in the postseason under
Speaker 1: the current iteration of the rule, those teams were ten
Speaker 1: and two. Yeah. Okay, So it was incredibly lotsighted and
Speaker 1: it favored the team that won the overtime coin flip. Yes,
Speaker 1: including the KCY Buffalo game. And by the way, Rich McKay,
Speaker 1: the chief of the Competition Committee, admitted to the media
Speaker 1: that yes, the outcome Mahomes against Josh Allen, and the
Speaker 1: fact that Allen didn't get the ball did influence their
Speaker 1: opinion in the room. Okay, where do I start on
Speaker 1: this one? I, oh, my goodness, win the game in regulation?
Speaker 1: First of all, I okay, you know, let me back up.
Speaker 1: Everything I'm about to say is from a player's perspective.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't look at it through any other
Speaker 1: lens than when I used to play, and what it's
Speaker 1: all about and what it should all about. Win the
Speaker 1: game in regulation or sit out and shut up. Okay.
Speaker 1: Either either you go out there and you do it,
Speaker 1: or you did and you had sixty minutes to win
Speaker 1: the game in regulation. Okay, that's number one. Number two
Speaker 1: is this sudden death. I'm with Mike Tomlin on this one. Man.
Speaker 1: First of all, all the coaches, not all the coaches,
Speaker 1: the majority of coaches didn't want any overtime role change.
Speaker 1: They didn't want any overtime role change. That to me
Speaker 1: is very very significant in this discussion. And keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. Sudden death was fine with me. I was
Speaker 1: great with that, and the reason being is because I
Speaker 1: believed offense, defense, and special teams all three phases, all
Speaker 1: three phases of the game of football, have a chance
Speaker 1: to go out and actually make a play, make a
Speaker 1: play and end a game. And you know what, if
Speaker 1: this was ten years ago, twenty years ago, I'd be
Speaker 1: completely on board with that statement. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The NFL encourages and rewards and favors the offense. It
Speaker 1: is easier to move the football and score than ever
Speaker 1: before in the game. So if you're rewarding and facilitating
Speaker 1: offense like you've never done before, and then you get
Speaker 1: to overtime, and let's just say you have two high
Speaker 1: powered juggernauts who are offensive oriented teams who might average
Speaker 1: forty and give up thirty five a game, and only
Speaker 1: one team touches the football. Yeah, you know what, Paul,
Speaker 1: You're right about that, and that is a blight on
Speaker 1: the game, the fact that the NFL has changed the
Speaker 1: rules of the game to a point where they favor
Speaker 1: the offense. But I'm glad you brought that up, Paully,
Speaker 1: because now here is my solution to all of this
Speaker 1: right here. Letter. Okay, Polly, you know what home field
Speaker 1: advantage is? Home field advantage real? Is home field advantage
Speaker 1: important in the National Football League? Yes, it is. There's
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Is it better to play a
Speaker 1: home game in the playoffs than in away game in
Speaker 1: the playoffs? I think there's no doubt about it. It
Speaker 1: should be a home field advantage. So here's what we do.
Speaker 1: We take the coin toss out of the equation and
Speaker 1: we just say the offense for the home team gets
Speaker 1: the opportunity to possess the ball first. You keep all
Speaker 1: the rules the exact same right now as they are,
Speaker 1: and you just say we're going to eliminate the coin toss,
Speaker 1: and now the home team gets the ball first. If
Speaker 1: that is their choice, that's their selection. Now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you bring strategy into it. You strategize the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, especially if you're the away team. Now you
Speaker 1: can make decisions based on that fourth quarter and whether
Speaker 1: or not you want to go into overtime, what whether
Speaker 1: or not you respect their offense and think they're going
Speaker 1: to go right down the field on your defense and score.
Speaker 1: Now you have a chance, possibly to go ahead and
Speaker 1: eliminate the coin toss, and now you know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen, and you live with the results of that,
Speaker 1: maybe in regulation. So now if you're the roteam and
Speaker 1: you just scored and you can kick the extra point
Speaker 1: to time our go for two to win at the
Speaker 1: end of regulation. Now there's no excuses. You know what's
Speaker 1: in store in the overtime period. If thou shalt try
Speaker 1: go for the tie, well, you're gonna have to live
Speaker 1: with those rules in overtime. That's exactly right, PAULI. And
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, you think, oh, my goodness,
Speaker 1: you know how they've got They've got Patrick Mahomes, they've
Speaker 1: got a high powered offense. There, we've got a better
Speaker 1: chance right now of going for two and winning the game. Now,
Speaker 1: it's not always gonna work that way. It isn't, but
Speaker 1: a home field advantage should matter, especially when you get
Speaker 1: into the postseason. Yeah, and you know what I like
Speaker 1: about that. It puts more impetus on the regular season.
Speaker 1: Anything that's strengthens the regular season, especially as they keep
Speaker 1: increasing the field in the postseason. I'm all four, I'm
Speaker 1: on board with that. So yes, by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna throw this out there, because you know, we're
Speaker 1: both about some of these conspiracy theories. The NFL Analytics
Speaker 1: did a study and this is from their statement. We
Speaker 1: projected it an extra possession during that Bill's Chiefs game
Speaker 1: would have likely generated at least five minutes of fifty
Speaker 1: plus million viewers. I think that clinched it in that
Speaker 1: owner's room back right after this on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: You know, the people at Jack were worried to see
Speaker 1: if Wilfley was coming back today, to see if he
Speaker 1: was going to eat him out of the house at home.
Speaker 1: That Adrian, that was ja egregious of gratuitous. Wifley has
Speaker 1: really taking advantage of this whole thing. Rome. You know,
Speaker 1: you act like a Roman when in Nashville, go on
Speaker 1: down and get you some marbecue. Not only did he
Speaker 1: order the combo plate, which might as well been the
Speaker 1: family platter, he then got a side of the pulled pork. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is a definition of a Carver's disposal.
Speaker 1: I mean he's ever doing his side. Wow, that's out
Speaker 1: of the archives. At your expense, Ron Wilfley, always entertaining. Though.
Speaker 1: That was two thousand and ten when the Cardinals foreshadowing
Speaker 1: were Inville for joint practices against the Titans. And let's
Speaker 1: just say, as Adrian Wilson sighted there, Wolf and you know, look,
Speaker 1: as truth would have it you at that point in life,
Speaker 1: were perhaps putting the full into former fullback a little
Speaker 1: bit more than you are these days, and hence your
Speaker 1: appetite reflected that at a certain barbecue joint that you
Speaker 1: had the misfortune of being in when Adrian Wilson walked
Speaker 1: in and spotted you with basically the family platter in
Speaker 1: front of you, especially a dumb. It had to be
Speaker 1: a dumb. He had like three percent body fat. Paul,
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it had to be a dub. The
Speaker 1: cheeks were a little full back then, Paul I was
Speaker 1: going almost two sixty. I was I was almost two
Speaker 1: sixty at that point in time. Man. Yeah, so listen,
Speaker 1: Jack's is a great place. We all understand that. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you go to Jack? Sure? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: is that your platter? Wolf or is that a cry
Speaker 1: for help? We didn't know, but it was good. You
Speaker 1: got your you know, you got your calories worth on
Speaker 1: that trip and Wolf. It looks like, according to NFL
Speaker 1: insider Mike Vrabel, the head coach of the Titans, the
Speaker 1: Cardinals aren't going back to Tennessee because he broke that
Speaker 1: news at the owner's meetings that there will be joint
Speaker 1: practices this year looks like the third week of the preseason.
Speaker 1: I mean, he takes to the third week of the
Speaker 1: preseason like it's well, it's gonna be a Nashville it's
Speaker 1: gonna be against the Titans, so you better pack the
Speaker 1: Camo shorts from Cardinals camp for the road. Yeah, Polly.
Speaker 1: First of all, let me just say right now, I'll
Speaker 1: take the three meet combo play please at Jack's Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty three bucks of pure delight, ladies and gentlemen. That's
Speaker 1: number one, number two. This is awesome, Jack. I am
Speaker 1: so jacked up right now. What do you think of
Speaker 1: when you think of the Tennessee Titans, Paul, What do
Speaker 1: you think of? Well, obviously I think of their running
Speaker 1: back and physical Paul. Would you say yes, I mean
Speaker 1: I just think, yeah, of the style with which they
Speaker 1: play on both sides of the ball. You're right, yeah, Polly.
Speaker 1: I think they mix the old offense and the new
Speaker 1: offense very very well. I think they do it as
Speaker 1: well as anybody the National Football League. And a lot
Speaker 1: of that has to do with King Henry. The fact
Speaker 1: that you're gonna line them up, You're gonna put Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry's feet at seven seven yards and you're gonna attack
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage downhill. And oh, by the way, Paulie,
Speaker 1: many times you're gonna be in twelve personnel. Many times
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in two tight ends. When you do that,
Speaker 1: they blend, They get into the shotgut, They run the
Speaker 1: zone read with Ryan Tannehill. They do everything that the
Speaker 1: New Age offense does, and they blend the old very
Speaker 1: very well. And they do a great job of not
Speaker 1: only zone schemes, but gap schemes, power schemes, down blocks
Speaker 1: by the down blocks by linemen and then pull the
Speaker 1: uncovered linemen. Right. I mean, this is the kind of
Speaker 1: offense that I love, and it's also the kind of
Speaker 1: offense that I think the Arizona Cardinals are trending toward
Speaker 1: because they've got their own Derrick Henry. His name is
Speaker 1: James Conner. Oh look, I would never call him old, Okay,
Speaker 1: But there's a certain member of our broadcast team was
Speaker 1: a former Cardinal and a former Tennessee Titan by the
Speaker 1: name of Kyle Vandenbosch, and he was on the Red
Speaker 1: Sea Report this week and they asked him Craig Grilou
Speaker 1: for Kveb's reaction to the Cardinals going to Tennessee reporterly,
Speaker 1: according to Rabel, for these joint practices, Kyle, not only
Speaker 1: is there a lot of value of going against another
Speaker 1: team in the preseason and practicing against them, but I
Speaker 1: love the matchup against the Titans in these preseason practices
Speaker 1: just because of who they are and how they're built
Speaker 1: in what they like to do. There's no better team
Speaker 1: at running the football in the league than the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: It because of who they have at running back, you know,
Speaker 1: and also on the other side of the ball. Around here,
Speaker 1: not a lot of people know about Jeffrey Simmons. He
Speaker 1: has the power and strength of an Aaron Donald. He
Speaker 1: is a really good interior defensive lineman. And it'll give
Speaker 1: you our offensive lineman an opportunity to get some live
Speaker 1: reps in the preseason against a guy who is physically
Speaker 1: big and strong and figure out something. Try some different things.
Speaker 1: Try different combo blocks, you know, try different wham blocks,
Speaker 1: trap blocks on a dominant you know, three technique defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: Kyle Vannibosch on the Red Sea Report this week, Ron Wilfully,
Speaker 1: you were in Tennessee this past season for Week one,
Speaker 1: it was thirty eight to thirteen. Yes, the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: jack stunted the Titans. And you're also a fan of Sunzoo,
Speaker 1: who said once upon a time, or at least he
Speaker 1: advised know your enemy right and know yourself. So if
Speaker 1: you're Mike Vrabel, you're like, you know what, I really
Speaker 1: don't feel like getting exposed in Week one. For the
Speaker 1: second year in a row, the Cardinals aren't on our schedule,
Speaker 1: So let's bring them in for some joint practices and
Speaker 1: make sure we're ready to go this year because a
Speaker 1: year ago we definitely were not. And not only that,
Speaker 1: once again, I'm going to say that the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: and the signing of Zach Ertz and the signing of
Speaker 1: Max Williams, and the signing of Justin Pew and the
Speaker 1: signing of James Connor, those guys, and bringing Will Hernandez
Speaker 1: in a brawler to play right guard, I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you right now that I think the Arizona Cardinals are
Speaker 1: trending to a much more physical offense, very similar to
Speaker 1: what the Tennessee Titans may be doing. A blending of
Speaker 1: the old and the new. This is what I believe.
Speaker 1: Paul two tight ends is going to be important? Right now?
Speaker 1: Two tight ends is going to be base personnel going
Speaker 1: for it. Okay, Now, maybe I'm getting a little too
Speaker 1: carried away when I say base personnel, because even the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans don't run twelve personnel as they're base personnel,
Speaker 1: but they're in it about forty percent of the time
Speaker 1: because they run the ball and they do it in
Speaker 1: a very physical kind of way. Paul. What better way
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals to evolve their offense than to
Speaker 1: actually go and see it up close and personal against
Speaker 1: a team that runs it better than anyone else in
Speaker 1: the league. And if you have to establish that mentality
Speaker 1: of physicality, right then just a joint practice itself, because
Speaker 1: it's so much different than practicing against a teammate, Is
Speaker 1: it not, Wolf, You've done it many times, and I
Speaker 1: mean it's almost Ray, Paul. Right, it's a rhetorical question.
Speaker 1: You don't get that level of physicality in training camps
Speaker 1: these days, But when there's a guy opposite you who
Speaker 1: might make you look really bad in front of the
Speaker 1: decision makers. You're trying to make this team intensity naturally
Speaker 1: just built, Yes, And I can tell you that intensity
Speaker 1: is going to build and it's a good thing for
Speaker 1: Will Hernandez that Ba is not the coach here anymore.
Speaker 1: It's okay because honestly, I think he'd be running an
Speaker 1: awful lot because the Tennessee Titans, they've done this with
Speaker 1: a couple of other teams in the past under Mike Vrabel,
Speaker 1: and they've got into brawls under Mike Vrabel. So, Paulie,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying right now, Will Hernandez is going to
Speaker 1: be a happy, happy guy that Bruce arians is not
Speaker 1: that coach of the era. We don't fight the card
Speaker 1: you know, don't fighting in practice whatsoever. And you know what,
Speaker 1: Will is going to benefit from that. So to bring
Speaker 1: this full circle, if the Cardinals needs someone to give
Speaker 1: him a pep talk, maybe they can bring Adrian Wilson
Speaker 1: in to imitate Joey Porter like he did on that
Speaker 1: episode of The Big Red Rage twenty ten in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: He's so hard to imitate. It took me a while
Speaker 1: to get him down. I was in the mirror practicing
Speaker 1: like the last three days in the mirror practice. I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy is classic. I mean, his pregame speeches are
Speaker 1: just I mean, they're their top nine. Can you give
Speaker 1: us something, Paul, Pretend like you're getting dressed for the game,
Speaker 1: and you know we've been to call it up. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm lacing up my all the pants on
Speaker 1: one at the time. All Right, here, here's joy. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody comes here, here's joy. All right, that's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna go out here here, we're gonna
Speaker 1: shoot first ask of course it's like three. Oh. That
Speaker 1: was good. So he's so horrid that you can't even
Speaker 1: really understand what he can still, I don't know how
Speaker 1: he simulated that horse voice like that out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: but that was a tremendous interview. I mean, Frank Caliendo,
Speaker 1: my goodness, you know that was well done. Adrian Wilson, No,
Speaker 1: that was Polly right there. That brings back memories, does
Speaker 1: it is? That was Calais, by the way, speaking of
Speaker 1: a horse voice. That was Callias who was hosting that.
Speaker 1: By the way, Polly, it's time to come home, son,
Speaker 1: come home, so hey that way, I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: I'm to come home, all right, absolutely, And you know what,
Speaker 1: bringing jadeveon clowney, I'll take that. Uh, and or a
Speaker 1: Melvin ingram As these prices come down, you guys better
