24
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about what the four day weekend coming up here?

25
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying, the big four days? That

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: what you get? You get four days off, not me,

27
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: not me. You if you're in that locker room, you

28
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: do by NFL mandate Thursday through Sunday as part of

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: this year's seven team game regular season schedule. Boom. It's

30
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: like a mini buy before things even get rolling in

31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the regular sea. Okay, listen, Polly, are you over the

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: turnaround flight, the U flight that we made right there,

33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: the big U turn, The U flight just over that

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: right now, ball It was beyond wake. It was in

35
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: between Waco and Houston. The U turn occurred, and you

36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: know what, for obvious reasons. It's understandable, and it was

37
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: one percent the correct call, yes, but being an hour

38
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: out of New Orleans, the Hurricane Ida notwithstanding, if we

39
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: had just been play the game or not play the game,

40
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: if there weren't any consequences, there any ramifications on any front. Yeah,

41
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I would have just rather gone in at that point

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: an hour away. I got my flip sheet over here

43
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: on the board and the whole thing, let's call the game.

44
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Me and Rob Frederickson, we were going to tear it up. Well,

45
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: at least we could have landed Polly and maybe at

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: dinner or a little gumbo, So that would have had

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: a real Yeah. So start making your plans for Nashville

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: as as they go in to take on the Titans

49
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: once again the Big Red Rage presented by santan four

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are santan Ford, Zach Allen will join

51
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: us nice right around the courtman. How deep are the

52
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals on that defensive line? Really love it at bully?

53
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: That defensive line when you look at it, it's one

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: of the anomalies. So one of the things that I

55
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: had that was a takeaway to have seven defensive linemen. Listen,

56
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I realize seven defensive linemen. Back when I was actually

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: playing in nineteen eighty five, that was common seven defensive linemen,

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: But now in today's NFL, so much of the time, Pauli,

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: a defense is in nickel. They're in nickel defense where

60
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: you have two defensive linemen for the most part, and

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: then you've got edge guys, guys who are designated as

62
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: edge players. Sometimes it could be a JJ Watt, sometimes

63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: it could be more of a Marcus Golden and at

64
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones out on the edge right. So it's interesting

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: when you are in nickels so much of the time,

66
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: where you're typically only running two defensive linemen out there.

67
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: With the Cardinals and JJ, it might be three. But

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: the fact they kept seven defensive linemen, that was an

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: anomaly that was interesting to me, and it points to

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: Michael Dogbee and the kind of camp he had. Yeah,

71
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: he would have been signed immediately if he would have

72
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: been cut. That's the kind of player he has turned into,

73
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. And there are a lot

74
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: of strange happenings right now on rosters around the NFL.

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: For example, the Tennessee Titans have thirteen dbs on their

76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: final fifty three right now, I've heard of ten dbs thirteen,

77
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: whereas the Cardinals are minus the guy they thought was

78
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: gonna be CB one When training camps started as we

79
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: got the news. Okay, you got the final fifty three,

80
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: you got the practice squad, and then you got one

81
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: member of the reserve slash retired list, and that is

82
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler. And that was a surprise to virtually everybody,

83
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: I think even the decision makers. Yeah, no on this

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: probably In fact, here's Cliff Kingsbury and we'll get into

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Butler a little bit. But Marco Wilson seems to be

86
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: the guy. And is he ready as a fourth round rookie,

87
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: no question. Yeah, he's played at the highest level when

88
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about college football, tried to cover all those,

89
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, top receivers that come out every year, whether

90
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: it's Bama, LSU, Georgia. So he the moment's not too

91
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: big for him. Here's the question, did Malcolm Butler lose

92
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: his job to Marco Wilson? Yeah? And was that part

93
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: of the cause and effect of Malcolm Butler now on

94
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: the retired list? Polly, it's so, you know what, I'm

95
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: piecing a lot of pieces of information, like everybody else

96
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: together right now. I really don't know what to say

97
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: about this other than the fact that Malcolm Butler scrubbed

98
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: his social media accounts of any affiliation whatsoever with the

99
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Now, Polly, when that happens, it's been our experience.

100
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: There's been something bad that transpired, and I think Malcolm Butler,

101
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he's upset with the team. I don't

102
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: know what that reason might be. But after talking to

103
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: some coaches, and I'm talking about before any of this happened,

104
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: talking to some coaches, they looked me in the eye, Paully,

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, Marco Wilson might be the

106
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: best corner we have on this team. And they were

107
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: happy with their cornerback room, talking about being very happy

108
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: with their cornerback room. So when I put all that together,

109
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, is there a possibility that the coaches eventually

110
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: and this is just pure speculation, looked at Marco Wilson

111
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, you're gonna start and if

112
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: that happened, maybe Malcolm Butler got upset. I don't know,

113
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: pure speculation, it could be. I mean, think about it.

114
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: If he's on a three plus million dollar deal with

115
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: incentives that can make it up to six million, but

116
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: now he's going to not getting nearly the playing time

117
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: or reps to earn those incentives. Maybe that's how we

118
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: became disgruntled. Maybe you don't know. Maybe it's strictly a

119
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: business decision because it verifies and validates what you just

120
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: some of the feedback you got from some of the

121
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: coaches based on the eyeball test, just being out there,

122
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: the top two corners in camp in camp, Byron Murphy

123
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: and Marco Wilson. Think about that. There's no doubt about her.

124
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Young guys like that, Byron Murphy going in to his

125
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: third season right now, right in Marco Wilson is rookie year.

126
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: We all know. Listen, Marco Wilson's got the size, He's

127
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: got the ability. He should have been drafted a lot higher.

128
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: If you wouldn't have shown thrown a shoe. Think about it.

129
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: Google that right there, Marco Wilson throwing a shoe. If

130
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: he would if he probably would have been taken higher.

131
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Here's a guy with all of this talent now and

132
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: he's got experience against SEC wide receivers, and you know

133
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: how good the SEC is when it comes to the

134
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: skill positions. I mean four years of experience. He started

135
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: as a true freshman. He comes from a cornerback family.

136
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: His dad coaches corners for a living. So this isn't

137
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams all over again. It isn't okay, Brandon Williams

138
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: had one year a play in a position. It was

139
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: acted running back, So it's not. Here's the thing if

140
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: you're Malcolm Butler, is your response to the coaches. Wait

141
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: a minute, man, I've been in this league for a decade.

142
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm in my thirties. I was pacing myself in camp.

143
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't competing, and I wasn't at my best. I

144
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: was trying to make sure I was at my best

145
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: for Week one against my former team, the Titans. And

146
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: maybe that's part of what his beef might have been.

147
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: That's just a thought. That's just me thinking out loud

148
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: of the Tennessee Titans. But I will say right now

149
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: that Malcolm Butler, by reputation, is a guy that wasn't

150
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: a practice guy. He didn't have that reputation of showing

151
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,479
Speaker 1: up and being this big time. He had a reputation

152
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: of being a gamer, Paul, and he's a guy who

153
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: against Tennessee you figured would be really valuable, not just

154
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: because he would have been your top three corners, but

155
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: he really knows that offense obviously, So I don't know

156
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: if they were able to download some information on Tennessee

157
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: before Malcolm Butler went on the retired list. But that's

158
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: all part of the formula at this point. Here's part

159
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: of themation you need to know right now. The Tennessee

160
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: Titans are gonna line up in twelve personnel, one back,

161
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: two tight ends. They're gonna have a j Brown on

162
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: the field with Julio Jones at the wide receiver position

163
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: and King Henry. That's right, Derrick Henry. Of course, his

164
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: toes are gonna be at seven yards, Paul. They're gonna

165
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: put a tight end on either side of the ball,

166
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: and then those two wide receivers of course, and then

167
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: here it comes check with me. Let's take a look

168
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: at your defensive front. We'll figure out which way we

169
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: want to run Derrick Henry in between the tackles right there.

170
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: That is what they're gonna do. Now that brings up

171
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: a very interesting, this interesting point. I would say, for

172
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, what two cornerbacks are gonna be on

173
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: the field when that happens on the very first offensive play.

174
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: For the Tennessee Titans, what two corners will be on

175
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: the field when the Titans come out in twelve personnel,

176
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: and that's what I think they're gonna do. With those

177
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: two tight ends and two wide receivers. What two corners

178
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: will be on the field. Is it gonna be Byron

179
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: Murphy and Marco Wilson or is it going to be

180
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy and Robert Alford. Here's the thing. Byron Murphy,

181
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: I would think you'd like to keep inside, that's where

182
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: he plays best. But right now, considering the absence of

183
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler, he's probably your best outside corner. We'll see

184
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: about the status of Robert Alford. They expect him to

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: come off the COVID list next week. Hey, Tennessee's dealing

186
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: with a lot of COVID issues. They had a dozen

187
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: guys and coaches on that list. Now, Mike Rabel just

188
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: came off the list. He's back in the facility. But

189
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill is still on the COVID list. They're starting

190
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: center is still on the COVID list. So, and by

191
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: the way, Tannehill, neither Tannehill, nor Derrick Henry, nor Julio

192
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: Jones nor A. J. Brown played a single snap in

193
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: the preseason. Yes, yes, it's the one thing we can

194
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: say with certitude, though, PAULI. To me, from a talent perspective,

195
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are a better defense and a better

196
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: team with Malcolm Butler inside that owner back room. That's

197
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say. Listen, you can only control which

198
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: you can control. But the fact of the matter is

199
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: they were a better team in my opinion with Malcolm Butler,

200
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: and now they've got to worry about depth at that

201
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: corner room. Hey. Episode five of The Day Pash Podcast

206
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: off the practice field, gonna join us on the Big

207
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Red Rage, presented by Satan Ford and Gilbert We are

208
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Satan for Zach Allen. Is there for the Cardinals to

209
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: make the play? Zach Allen's stop bad play. Jones backs

210
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: up throwing from his two and the balls tip to

211
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: the line and incomplete. I think Zach Allen got a

212
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: hand out a shotgun formation here for her. It's takes

213
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: the staff drops back the past, facing pressure in trouble

214
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: and zack back at the thirty two yard line by

215
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: Zach Allen. An enormous play made by Allen and a

216
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: loss of fourteen. Boy, that is a huge momentum play

217
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: right there by Zach Allen. The Eagles got it going.

218
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to set up a screen to the left

219
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurtz. It's Zach Allen got told before we

220
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: could throw the screen. That is an awesome job. Was

221
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: that one game against Philly? Was that one month worth

222
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: of production? I mean, that was quite a game. In fact,

223
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: here's the stat I went and found this the first

224
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals defensive lineman to record at least eleven tackles in

225
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 1: a game since Collis Campbell two fifteen. You like the

226
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: sounds of that same You like the sounds of the fact.

227
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: Here we go. I'm going to continue with the knowledge

228
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: right here, Zach Okay, grab a little bit of water

229
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: there off the practice field as we talk about that game,

230
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 1: because there were eleven tackles, six solo, one and a

231
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: half tackles for a loss, a QB hit, a pass defense,

232
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: and you joined Willie McGinnis as the only guy in

233
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: the last two decades defensive lineman to ever half eleven

234
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: tackles a sack in the past defense in the game,

235
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: what went really well in that game that you can

236
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: bottle up going forward getting sack? Yeah, I think for

237
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: I'd honestly started the week before against the Giants. Obviously,

238
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: you know, that's everybody remembers that as Hasan's you know,

239
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: breakout performance and everything like that. But across the whole

240
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: defensive line, we were playing really well, and you know,

241
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: we're going through the film. I was watching with Buck

242
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: and we're looking It's like I'm in the right spot.

243
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's just you know, I could just do

244
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: a little bit extra to make that play. So that

245
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: whole week we're just working on, you know, doing like

246
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: that extra half bit, and then that week, yeah, I

247
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: just all clicked and yeah it was a great day.

248
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: And then luckily it kind of built into a little

249
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: bit momentum for the rest of the season, and you know,

250
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: definitely helped me in the offseason, you know, kind of

251
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: transitioning with confidence and everything like that. No, I can

252
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: definitely play and play in a high level in this league.

253
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: So the goal this year is obviously to do even

254
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: more than that, and you've had quite the off season.

255
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. Zach Allen is our guest here

256
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: in the Big Red Rage presented by Saying tan Ford

257
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: in Gilbert. How are you feeling by the way, you know,

258
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even have a chance to say welcome, welcome

259
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: into the show, and how you're feeling as we're done

260
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: with camp one of those unofficial holidays, right for for

261
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: any football player, you're done with campra And then what

262
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: is the best and worst thing about training camp for you? Um?

263
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean camp's great because it just

264
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: allows you just to focus one hundred percent on you know,

265
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: on football, what you're doing and then the momentum that

266
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: you get from it is is incredible and just you know,

267
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: you're just you're literally doing football twenty four seven. So

268
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, for a lot of guys,

269
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: I find it, you know, especially helpful and you know

270
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: you enjoy it. But again, I mean, you know, you're

271
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: in camp for five weeks, so you know you missed

272
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: your family stuff like that, just you know, going out

273
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: and get in a bite to eat or whatever or

274
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: something like that. But no, I think this year was easily.

275
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: You know, the best camp that you know, I think

276
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: that we've had since I've been here. Just the energy,

277
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: just the competitive the fire, just it was just a

278
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: different you know, just you definitely could tell there's just

279
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: a different energy, especially you know, the new guys we

280
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: brought in. So it was a lot of fun and um,

281
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're definitely going to build off

282
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: that momentum into Week one. You miss your dog? Didn't

283
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: you get recently? Get a dog? I got my dog.

284
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: I definitely My girlfriend was sending me the videos every

285
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: single day, and yeah, every time I leave the house. Now,

286
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: I think he doesn't know if I'm coming back for

287
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, in a couple hours or and you know,

288
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: for five weeks, so you know, we don't know what's

289
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Zach Allen was a guest in The Big

290
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: Red Rage. Okay, two words here, hot yoga, tell us

291
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: about tell us about your off season. Yeah, so now,

292
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: the off season honestly went as well as it could have,

293
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: which was great. Um, by the way, can I just

294
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: say it was uncalled for that you actually put on

295
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: muscle mass and you got bigger while also losing six

296
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: percent body fat. That's that's almost uncalled for. While everybody

297
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: else was putting on the COVID nineteen, you were actually

298
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: getting in better shape. So how did you achieve that? Well?

299
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: This year, I was just I was just so excited

300
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: because you know, everything was open again basically, so it

301
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: wasn't like you know before last season where everything was closed.

302
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to it's a guessing game every

303
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: single day of where you're gonna work out or what

304
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to get done. This year

305
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot more structure, which you know, it was great.

306
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: And then also, I mean we missed the playoffs, so

307
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: there definitely was a chip on everybody's shoulder. But then

308
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: also for our young defensive line, you know, we kind

309
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: of started to figure out a little bit towards the end,

310
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: so we just wanted to build off of that right away.

311
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: So we got right into it. Um you know, I

312
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: think we took two days off whatever, and then there

313
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: was just a strong group of four with Michael Dogby

314
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: Lecky Foe to Richard Lawrence and I and then we

315
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: just hit the ground running. Um, you know, and like

316
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: I've said it before, you know, eight to ten hour

317
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: days come in here workout, four hours, lunch, break, watch film,

318
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: and then yeah, hot yoga at night or another workout

319
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. But yeah, the hot yoga

320
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: is great, kay Now, I know it doesn't come as

321
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: a shock or to you. Paul A pencil Neck, You're

322
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: I have no clue really what hot yoga is. Break

323
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: it down for us. Yeah. So, um, I mean obviously

324
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: it's basically what it sounds. You're just doing yoga, and

325
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: you're doing it and basically, like a sauna room, it

326
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: gets up to you know, about like one ten. Um.

327
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: Is that just outside in an Arizona Sam, Yeah, exactly,

328
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: that's what. That's what the joke was is. You know,

329
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: once the summer storry happening, We're like, okay, we could

330
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: just do this outside. It's a lot easier. You know,

331
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: it probably be honestly cooler outside, you know. So um,

332
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: but it's uh, yeah, it was. It was fantastic. Um

333
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: didn't the instructor say something about you and you got

334
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys six four six six two eighty

335
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds and um, you guys sweat it a lot.

336
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: Didn't she make that comment? Yeah? She definitely, like you

337
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: learned the first time we went in, we all went

338
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: in just like a shirt and short whatever it was,

339
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: and then you realize like, oh, we're gonna need a

340
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: few more. And then it was funny our teacher, whatever

341
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: she saw us come in, she'd be like, oh, I

342
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: have to go get more towels, or just like in

343
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: fun of everybody too. So you know, it just it

344
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: didn't help help confidence. But once you're in it, I

345
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, everybody's sweating. Luckily, we all were

346
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: around each other, so when we did, you know, have

347
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: to sweat, we sweat on each other. Wasn't There was

348
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: was a couple of times where it'd be like this, like,

349
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: poor old woman, I'm just just drenched and sweat on.

350
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm so sorry, but yeah, I can't control it.

351
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm working hard, you know. So what's

352
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: it like being an extra large human being? When you

353
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: walk around? How often you know it's they list you

354
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: at six five two eighty five. Especially, it's such a

355
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: site when you get off the Cardinals team bus, you'll

356
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: walk into a road hotel and if all the old

357
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: linemen are walking together or all the d linemen are

358
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: walking together, just the looks on people's faces in the

359
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: wake you guys leave behind. How often do you hear

360
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: murmurs like Oh that's a big dude. You get that

361
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, I mean obviously, you know, like booking

362
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: flights and stuff is a pain in the butt because

363
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: you know there's only like three seats on the entire

364
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: flight that you know I can fit in or anything

365
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: like that. But but now it definitely, um, I don't know.

366
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of now that I'm in the NFL,

367
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I spend all my days here basically, So,

368
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean I'm hanging around guys like JJ Lecky. I mean,

369
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm average, maybe even below average and size

370
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: compared to them. So yeah, when definitely whenever I like

371
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I leave my house to go like grocery shopping or something,

372
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: then it's kind of like, oh, yeah, it's not normal

373
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: that just everybody year around all day is six five

374
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: plus you know. So all right, you dropped the name

375
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: Zach Allen or guests here on the Big Red Rage,

376
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. What's it been like, especially since tell the

377
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: Backstore you've been watching his game film? Since what point

378
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: in your career? Yeah, I started my junior well obviously,

379
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: I've been watching him his whole career, but uh, specifically

380
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: like my junior year of college before like every single

381
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: every before every single game, so we would play on Saturdays.

382
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: That Friday, I would watch his previous week's game film.

383
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just you know, I guess it's

384
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: kind of like one of those things where like you

385
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: see it and then it kind of helps you you

386
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: do it. So there'd be times in games where I

387
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: was doing stuff like and I was like, I've never

388
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: done that in practice, but you know, I must have

389
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: saw it the day before. So and he's obviously, you know,

390
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: the best to learn from at the position. So it's

391
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: been like it couldn't have been better having him here,

392
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: just the way he conducts himself, the way he teaches,

393
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: just his attitude, the way he really just you know,

394
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: helps the culture in the locker room, everything like that.

395
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: So I mean it's been a blessing. And beyond having

396
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: him here, I really am truly truly exciting. And still

397
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: there's times where you know, I'm just casually like talking

398
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: to my parents or somebody like yeah, like you know,

399
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: I got I gotta hang up. I'm going out, you know,

400
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: to dinner with the guys you know with JJ, and

401
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, and they're like, what you're gonna

402
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's the whole thing. I was just like, yeah, no,

403
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: he's just one. He really is just one of the guys,

404
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: which is which has been awesome. Well when you're not

405
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 1: the only one. Number of other defensive lignment said there

406
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: was a moment especial initially they were a little awe struck,

407
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: little star struck. Didn't you guys have a dinner? Didn't

408
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: didn't he go out and take you guys out to

409
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: dinner early on? Yeah? When we I think, what was it?

410
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: So he's signed around like March or something like that,

411
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: So I think like April or whatever he was, you know,

412
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: house hunting or whatever he was doing. He uh he invited, um,

413
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, us four young guys out and uh, you know,

414
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: I was, I'm gonna get there early. You know, I'm

415
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, I'm dressed up. He comes in

416
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: just off the golf course, sweaty got you know, just

417
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: T shirt and shorts on. Like oh okay, like you

418
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: know now now he's gonna think I'm a nerd or

419
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But yeah, no, he was awesome. Too,

420
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: because you know, just everything clicked all of us, you know,

421
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: so it really has been like a seamless transition having

422
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: him here, and you know it's been it's been terrific.

423
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: All right, So, Zach Allen, give us your thoughts. What

424
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: can Cardinals fans expect when they see ninety nine out

425
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: on that field, part of that front seven, because you

426
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: know what, he obviously didn't play in the preseason games,

427
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: He wasn't out there during open practices. How much of

428
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: an impact do you think he's gonna make? Oh, he's

429
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna be huge. I mean, he really, you know, the

430
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: way he just plays the game is just it's perfect.

431
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's what the ideal football player of just

432
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: the you know, his effort, everything like that is just

433
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: knowledge of the game. And you know, I know people

434
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: want to say, oh, it's he's old or whatever. I mean,

435
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: it's it's if that's what old looks like, then I

436
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: don't even want to I couldn't imagine seeing what he

437
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: was like when he was you know, three time defense

438
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: Player year, because it honestly looks at the similar level.

439
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been watching a while, so I'm definitely

440
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: super excited to see it. Um Week one. You know,

441
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: Zach Allen is our guest here in the Big Red Rage.

442
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: It's all about you, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert.

443
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: So here's my thought week one. Every week, as long

444
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: as this Cardinals defense stays healthy. Ryan Tannehill comes up

445
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, he's got ninety nine here,

446
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: he's got fifty five there, right, Isaiah Simmons maybe is

447
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: on the edge? Okay, is he coming? Wait, there's Buddha

448
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: Baker flashing. Zaman Collins might be mugg in the egg gap.

449
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: You guys have this whole d line rotation. Guys are

450
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: fresh that you guys go at least six seven deep

451
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: right now. There's a lot for a quarterback to consider

452
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: in that front seven, isn't there. Oh yeah, yeah, I

453
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: mean that's definitely, you know, a credit to the to

454
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: the front office. I mean they've brought in great guys,

455
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: not just great football players, but guys that have a

456
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: great you know, mindset and mentality about you know, how

457
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: to how to how to practice and how to play.

458
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: And you definitely just can tell there's this year there's

459
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: just a different sense of urgency and accountability. I think

460
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: guys are definitely not afraid the whole guy's accountable. It's

461
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, we have you know, super Bowl or bust hope.

462
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: So for us, you know, if you're not going to

463
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: help it, you're gonna get called out. And it's been fantastic.

464
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: So and we saw that in Cardinals camp. Didn't we

465
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: have a guy made a pre snap penalty, Boom, he's

466
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: out of the drill. Yeah, there's definitely the practices have

467
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: been a lot more intense, a lot more competitive, which

468
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: has been awesome. And then also just the sense of

469
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: urgency and just the strictness with mistake. I mean, we

470
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: just you know that we have such a goal and

471
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: we didn't even have a really an OTAs. So for us,

472
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: we're just down the business, which is the way that

473
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, any players should want in. I think we

474
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys who liked that. So everybody

475
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: I just named, it's proven. And then you have a

476
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: first round rookie middle linebacker. And I asked Cliff Kingsbury

477
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: and the TV side before the first preseason game, just

478
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: tell us the degree of difficulty of that challenge. You're

479
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: a rookie middle linebacker and you begin in the Keys

480
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: to the defense. You have to worry about your own

481
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: performance obviously, and then called the defense and he said,

482
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: it's a notch behind being a rookie quarterback. So what

483
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: has it been like for Zamon Collins And how much

484
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: respect you have for a guy who's face with that

485
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: sort of challenge from day one? Yeah, I mean you hear,

486
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: like the way you described it's perfect because you know,

487
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: when you hear it, it's like, wow, that that's a lot,

488
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: especially for a young guy, and like, you know, coming

489
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: from college and you know, everything like that. But i mean,

490
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: he's helped handled himself as professional as anyone could have.

491
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: So it's been terrific. And you know, he's got a

492
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: lot of great people in that linebacker room that have

493
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: been helping him learn and you know, it's been it's

494
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: it's really cool to see just the maturation process with

495
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: him already, and it's only been a camp. You know,

496
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: just how much he's learned already and how much information

497
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: he can process and then obviously the physical tools take

498
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: over then. So it's just really exciting to see what

499
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna do. For those of us who haven't been

500
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: in an NFL defensive huddle, what does that position mean

501
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: to a defense, just the ability to call it and

502
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: then once you guys break the huddle and make those adjustments. Obviously,

503
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks has been that guy. He'll still be that

504
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: guy at times this year. But just tell us about

505
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: that role. Yeah, I mean it obviously, you know it's

506
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: you're basically the quarterback of the defense, so you're in

507
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: charge of everything. But at the same time, I mean,

508
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: you have to go, you know, into a car accident

509
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: basically that same play. It's not like quarterback where you

510
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: just dropped back and you know, throw it, so it's

511
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: just as mental. So he's uh, he's been handling it

512
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: really well. And obviously, like I said, I mean, he's

513
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: just a physical freak, an athletic, you know. So all right,

514
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: so as you wrap it up with Zach Allen, you

515
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: mentioned car accident, I say the words, Derrick Henry, what

516
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: do you think of you know, big back? But you know,

517
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody in this you know, I'm six five,

518
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: two eighty five. I'm the smallest defensive lineman. So obviously,

519
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, have a lot of respect for him and

520
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: what he's done. But you know, I'm very confident in

521
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: what we can do. So what do you know about

522
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: this defense so far? Real quick, last question? What have

523
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: you found out about this defense so far that we

524
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: might see in week one? I think everyone's gonna love

525
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: the intensity that they're going to see and just the

526
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: urgency and just guys flying around and just smacking people.

527
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: Did you really lose six percent body by the way,

528
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: I did. I got the papers for it. Well, when

529
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: you're done playing, you should put out some sort of

530
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: body by Zach. You know video, you know you can

531
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: make you know what I mean, don't. I don't know.

532
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: I think JJ's got to do that first. But that's good. Yeah,

533
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: that's good. Okay, And you ordered anything you wanted right

534
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: when you went out to dinner with JJ. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

535
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: we got a story for that next time. Yeah, Zach,

536
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: thanks for the time, Matt, thank you very much. Okay,

537
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: all the very best this coming season. Think about that,

538
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: Zach Allen and company. That front seven is absolutely loaded

539
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals. We continue with the Big Red

540
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. Right after this,

541
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: Murray and Shotgun has the football short set throws a

542
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: deep ball left side single coverage and it is pulled

543
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: in by DeAndre Hopkins. Man, he's got a touchdown. What

544
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: a throw Mike, Tyler Murray and want to catch by

545
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: duke to put the Cardinals on the board with two

546
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: thirty nine to go on the first duke was one

547
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: on one throw by Kyler Murray, but an even better

548
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: re touchdown. We said it's gonna be Russell Wilson or

549
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, whoever plays better, That's who's gonna win this game,

550
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: snapped to Murray, and he keeps it himself running left,

551
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: got a defender with him at the five breaks. The

552
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: tackle dives, ball comes out, but he crossed the plane.

553
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: Touchdown Kyler Murray. Somehow subway found a way to get

554
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: that big across Peter. Big time play Kyler Murray. Yeah,

555
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: that was the win against Seattle in overtime Week seven

556
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: a year ago where the Cardinals trail ten nothing twenty

557
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: seven fourteen thirty four to twenty four. Kyler ends up

558
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: your NFC offensive Player of the week. Had a passer

559
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: rating to one oh four point five and it was interesting.

560
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley here on the Big Red Rage presented by

561
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: santan Ford in Gilbert to get the first comments out

562
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: of Mike Vrabel about the quarterback they'll be going against

563
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: Week one next weekend, next Sunday the twelfth in Tennessee.

564
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: And I'm quoting very bow on the Cardinals quote. They

565
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: have a dynamic quarterback, then go that can go eighty yards.

566
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: I saw a third down in seventeen and he scrambles

567
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: for a first down. He went seventy yards or something

568
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: like that. Against Carolina. He pulls it in the red zones,

569
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: twenty yard touchdowns. He slides, He makes you miss. He

570
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: has a strong arm. I think that was the thing

571
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: that shocked me the most was how strong his arm is.

572
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: He is very willing to throw outward breaking routes across

573
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: the field. End quote yesterday Mike Vrabel on Kyler. He's

574
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: talking about the offensive rookie of the year in his

575
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: first year, and he's talking about a Pro Bowler along

576
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. Would you say, POULI,

577
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: those are pretty good quarterbacks in the NFC. That is

578
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: good company to keep jab about that, And Kyler Murray

579
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: is one of those guys right there. Kyler Murray has

580
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: every skill you could possibly want. And it's not about

581
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: the heighth anymore. Nobody's talking about the fact that he's

582
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: five ten n eighth ball. Nobody's talking about that anymore

583
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: because of how this kid has played in this offense.

584
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: Do I believe that this offense needs to expand? Yes,

585
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a must that they expand this offense

586
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: and evolve this offense. But Kyler Murray is our quarterback.

587
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: He's got everything you could possibly want as a cue.

588
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: It's interesting if Rabel was watching film from last year.

589
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: Guess what, coach. The quarterback's arm is even stronger. According

590
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: to Buddha Baker and Christian Kirk, he has more zip,

591
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: more velocity on the football as of this Cardinals camp.

592
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk also shared with the media the other day,

593
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: I think you're going to like the sounds of this,

594
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: when Christian Kirk said that Kyler has been sending some

595
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: of the receiver's video clips and telling the receivers, you

596
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: know what, I think we should do it this way,

597
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: or maybe you might want to make an adjustment here,

598
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: And that seems to be an indicator an illustration of

599
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: some increased leadership from the starting quarterback. No, Paul, No,

600
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that right there. That is good

601
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: that's what you want to hear when you're going home,

602
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: when you're leaving the facility, you're still thinking about this stuff.

603
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: You're still watching this stuff. This is what franchise quarterbacks

604
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: have got to do. They've got to become the face

605
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: of the franchise. They've got to become the answerman for everything.

606
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: They have to become a coach on the field and

607
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: off the field as well. So hopefully this is what's

608
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: happening with Kyler Murray in his development right now. It's

609
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: a positive sign a right. So, Brian Greasy and the

610
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: Money Night Football crew, they were in town, they watched

611
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: a practice, they called the game, and Brian Greasy and

612
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Steve Levy the play by play man, they were on

613
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: the Day Pash podcast. But Brian Greasy, having spent more

614
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: than a decade in the NFL as a quarterback himself,

615
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: was asked by Dave, all Right, what's the next step

616
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: for Kyler in year three? We know he's athletic, he

617
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: can throw the football, he can run. It's getting to

618
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's being able to grind through adversity. It's

619
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: being able to be detail oriented and lead. Now that

620
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is gone. He has to run with it

621
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: and be the leader on this team when the time

622
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: is tough, not just when things are going well, but

623
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: when there's adversity, which is the thing he hasn't faced

624
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: in his life in high school or college. He's now

625
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: facing it now and they definitely faced it over the

626
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: last two months of last season. In my big takeaway

627
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: going into this season, Okay, what did this Arizona Cardinals

628
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: team learn based on the two and five finish? You

629
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: heard Zach Allen moments ago here in the Big Red Rage.

630
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: I asked him about camp this year versus his first

631
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: couple of years, and he said, and I'm quoting loosely,

632
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: this has been by far our best camp. We've had

633
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: more fire, we've had more urgency. There's a different energy

634
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: level out of there. The practices have been a lot

635
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: more intense. Coaches have been holding the players more accountable,

636
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: and that has to connect and correlate to the end

637
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: of last season, where even Kyler admitted during Cardinals camp

638
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: in a media session that, yeah, maybe some of the

639
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: a tension to detail waned a little bit when we

640
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: were six and three. All those little things contribute to

641
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: a two and five finish because as we know, in

642
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, historically, the margin of victory is so small,

643
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: those little things matter in a big way. You know what, Paul,

644
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: it's so interesting to hear you say that, because you're right,

645
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray did point to the fact maybe we were

646
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: feeling ourselves after being six and three. I would wind

647
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: it back and say, maybe that happened after you were

648
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: two and oh in this season, after beating San Francisco

649
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: on the road that was kind of a huge win

650
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: right there for the Arizona Cardinals, and then coming home

651
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: and taking care of business against Washington in Week two,

652
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: and then losing two Detroit and Carolina and being two

653
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: and two as opposed to three and one or even

654
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: four and oh at that point, you have to wonder

655
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: if they started to kind of feel themselves at that

656
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: point as well. Listen, what I love about what Kyler

657
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: said is you have to be willing to identify what

658
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: it is that confronts you. If you ever hope to

659
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: get over the top of it, if you ever hope

660
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: to beat it, you have to be able to identify

661
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: it and confront it. And that's exactly what they're by

662
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: admitting maybe we were feeling ourselves when we were six

663
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: and three. That's an opportunity to learn and not let

664
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: it happen again. Right, So he got the three series

665
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs in preseason game number two. Everybody, now,

666
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: they went three and out all three times, negative one

667
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: total yards. We get it. And even if he would

668
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: have played in another game, what do you approve going

669
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: against the team's backups and number threes? At least that's

670
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: my take on that one. So you're gonna get tested

671
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: a lot more in practice than you are ever in

672
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: these preseason games where you're only seeing vanilla schemes, etc.

673
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: And with that in mind, Kyler was asked by the media,

674
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: all right, what's your goal between the end of camp

675
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: and week one for the offense? For us as an offense,

676
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: I think just keep going hard, throw practice every every day,

677
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: treat like a game. You know. That's what we've done

678
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: this far. You know, I think we've had a pretty

679
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: pretty solid camp. So I'm excited to get this going

680
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: real season, starting in an actually meetings. How does Kyler

681
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: get better in his third year? For you? Well, if

682
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, he was the year he is a

683
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: pro bowler. But there's always room for improvement where how

684
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: I think in his preparation for a game. I think

685
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: in his game management as well. And when I say that,

686
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm talking about how he sends out the signals to

687
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: his teammates as well. You can't walk off the field

688
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: and suddenly sit on the bench by yourself. Now, again,

689
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: it's not like he does that all the time. That's

690
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: not what I'm saying, but we have seen him do

691
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: that from time to time. As the franchise quarterback, You've

692
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: got to be willing to communicate. You have to communicate

693
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: to your offense. You have to communicate really to everybody

694
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: on the team. Sometimes it's verbal and sometimes it isn't.

695
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: BALI sometimes it's body language. And that's got to be

696
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: something that I think Kyler Murray needs to understand. And

697
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: that's part of the process of evolving as a leader.

698
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: And guess what, he has a lot more help this year,

699
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: whether it's Aj Green or whether it's Rondale Moore, whether

700
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: it's a healthy Christian Kirk. You had a receiver in

701
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins who had thirty four percent of the receiving

702
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: yards last year. That was the most among any receiver

703
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: on any team. You have a James Connor another weapon.

704
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: Think about the Cardinals options now in the red zone,

705
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: whether it's two hundred and thirty three pound James Connor,

706
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore, six foot four AJ Green, and as Brian

707
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: Greasy pointed out, I was listening to the pashpot. How

708
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: valuable or Rodney Hudson is taking a lot of responsibility

709
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: off Kyler's plate in setting the production. There's no doubt

710
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: about it, PAULI what you said right there too. I

711
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: love the combination of wide receivers. The Arizona Cardinals can

712
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: run onto the field different personnel groups with not just

713
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: four wides, but what four wides all are going to

714
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: be out in their own way? Are they not? Paul,

715
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: You stop and think about it. You could actually have

716
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins on the field with AJ Green on the

717
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: field and a four two nine in a four three one.

718
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Andy Isabelle is a four three one,

719
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: and suddenly you've got to Rondale Moore at four two

720
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: nine on the field with those two wide receivers that

721
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: we know are proven commodities in the national football I'm

722
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: just saying, how are you going to mix that up?

723
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk obviously is going to work into the mix

724
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: as well. But you could actually put a four two

725
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: nine in a four three one on the field with

726
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: those receivers. Interesting ball. And for everyone who's wondering why

727
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella made this team, he referenced it that he

728
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: made a couple of plays that last week a camp

729
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: in practice that were stellar. Now they can't show him

730
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: to you. It's a call his practice, but he earned

731
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: a spot based on two huge catches in traffic walth

732
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella. Here's the other thing when it comes to

733
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore. Twice I had conversations with veteran players, and

734
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: we all know players know players, and on their own,

735
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: of their own accord, they stop what they were saying

736
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: and they pointed to Rondale Moore and they said that

737
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: kid's gonna be good ahead. One guy said that kid's

738
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: only scratching the surface. So very intrigued to see and

739
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: you can't tell me Cliff Kingsbury didn't put a couple

740
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: of those Jets sweeps and end of rounds on film

741
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: in Game one against Dallas with Rondale Moore. That was

742
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: by design. We'll see if that is a part of

743
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: the offense week one, let him go vertical. We continue

744
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: with a big red rage presented by Santan Ford in

745
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: Gilbert to predict the shotgun staff three step drop looks

746
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: right in trouble. Any sack back half the twenty yard

747
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: line dragged down by Jordan Phillips. How about that the

748
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: big bed Jordan Phillips six six, three hundred forty five

749
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: pounds grabbed Backti Stafford and basically put him into the

750
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: crock pot belly buddy. Great job by Jordan Phillips on

751
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: nothing but a full rush. Well, unfortunately, Cardinals have not

752
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: seen a lot of Jordan Phillips in the month of August,

753
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna see him for basically the first

754
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: three weeks of September. News earlier today he was placed

755
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: an injured reserve, an undisclosed injury Jordan Phillips, and so

756
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: he was on the COVID list justin Peugh coming off

757
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: that COVID list and has been activated. But Jordan Phillips

758
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: and I are so wolf after they set the fifty three,

759
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: which means he is eligible to come back, but that's

760
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: after three weeks, which would mean the first three games

761
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: of the season ostensibly, and so no Jordan Phillips, which

762
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: I guess is the reason, among others they kept seven

763
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: defensive line. It's a good point right there, Paulie, because

764
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: again when I looked at it, especially in this day

765
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: and age of nickel defenses and using two defensive linemen

766
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: in those nickel defenses. Man, there, it is right there.

767
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: Maybe they had an idea what was happening there with

768
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, but it's too bad that guy. Once again,

769
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: when Steve Kim and the Arizona Cardinals went out and

770
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: got him and brought him in as a free agent,

771
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: I was pretty jacked up about it. He just hasn't

772
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: been able to get on the field and stay on

773
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: the field. And you're talking about a Titans team with

774
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: a top five offensive year ago, they were fourth and

775
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: scorn and nearly thirty one points a game. They shield

776
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: only Kansas City and yards per game almost four hundred

777
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: yards per game. Since twenty nineteen, the Titans lead the

778
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: NFL in touchdowns plays of fifty plus yards, red zone

779
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: TD percentage, and rushing touchdowns. Do you think that's going

780
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: to get better with Julio Jones added to that, Paul

781
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: So they're the latest in fact in Tennessee. They're talking

782
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: about what Julio Jones can do for their offense. Is

783
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: what Stefan Diggs did for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

784
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: So think about that. I've heard some of the analysts

785
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: in the offseason this could be a historically great offense,

786
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: one of the all time Juggernauts. I mean, that's the

787
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: sort of talk it's getting went from the ESPN Talking

788
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Eds and NFL Network Wolf. If we're talking about remaining

789
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: questions for this Cardinals team, do we not start with

790
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: the rookie middle linebacker who's got to make all the

791
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: calls and be the epicenter of the Cardinals defense against

792
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: this sort of offense. Yeah, there's no doubt about it.

793
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: Xavin Collins and Isaiah Simmons. Those two guys I cannot

794
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: separate my I really can't those two guys. Even though

795
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Hicks is going to play a lot.

796
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Hicks and Zaven Collins we're going to

797
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: see a lot of them on the inside, and Isaiah

798
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: Simmons moved to the outside. But those two young guys

799
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: I cannot get over. And I really think they're going

800
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: to be the key to the Arizona Cardinals defense going forward.

801
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: That means they've got to play well and they got

802
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: to hang in there early because they're gonna take their lumps,

803
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. But I think by the

804
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: end of the year it really is going to be

805
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: paying dividends for the Arizona Cardinals and that defense. But

806
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: early on, man, it could get ugly, Paul, especially when

807
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about those first two weeks against the Tennessee

808
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: Titans in the Minnesota Vikings and how they play offensive football.

809
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: They attack the line of scrimmage, they attack the line

810
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, they attack, and then all of a sudden,

811
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: here comes the play action throwing the ball over the

812
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: middle of the field, and those two young bucks are

813
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: going to be right in the middle of that. And

814
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I feel a lot better when Jordan

815
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: Hicks is out in that field. There's these sort of

816
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: that insurance policy and he's seen it and been there

817
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: and done that. So okay. As for other questions out there,

818
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of guys improve it years,

819
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: whether it's the end of the contract, whether it's a

820
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: one year deal. Guys like Christian Kirk for example, and

821
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: you heard Zach Allen talk about it, this extra sense

822
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: of intensity or urgency and fire and Cardinals camp and

823
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: whether that's going to carry over into the regular season.

824
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,479
Speaker 1: While Christian Kirk was talking about his new mentality, there's

825
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: definitely an extra edge. I have an extra edge to

826
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: myself and I always you know, probably myself on my preparation,

827
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: my recovery, but you know, I've I've taken it to

828
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: the next level and you know, I'm doing everything in

829
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: my power to make sure, like I said, I'm I'm

830
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: at my best this year. So yeah, I'm there's there's

831
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: definitely a different mentality for myself and the challenge for

832
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: him to stay productive on a consistent basis. We've seen

833
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: it in spurts and waves, and then we've also seen

834
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: some stretches where he just hasn't been much of a factor.

835
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: That's Christian Kirk. What else stands out to you? Walf

836
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: other questions as you get it was just some of

837
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: the anomalies of the fifty three that I saw, right

838
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: some of the things that stood out, like eight offensive linemen,

839
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: Well that was because Justin Pew of course, was going

840
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: to be coming in the COVID list. Something they actually did.

841
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think they made that announcement.

842
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: They did, that's official, and they did have one roster

843
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: spot available that when they said it. So now all

844
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've got nine offensive linemen that you

845
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: kept on the roster as opposed to eight. But that

846
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: really stood out to me. Six wide receivers where one

847
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: of them is not Keyshawn Johnson. Where six wide receivers

848
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: where Andy Isabelle of course made the team and Antoine

849
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: Wesley made the team as well. That was really interesting

850
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: to me. And three tight ends being capped. I was

851
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: actually encouraged by the fact they kept three tight ends.

852
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: And the reason being is because that means here comes

853
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: twelve personnel. I would imagine to some degree, one back,

854
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: two tight ends, and two wide receivers. That's something that

855
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen they used an awful lot of and

856
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: actually used it very effectively in the second half of

857
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: the season. And I think that is going to portend

858
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more this season of twelve personnel, and

859
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: I think that's good, especially if you take a que

860
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: and you put him under center. I was semi surprised

861
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: to see three quarterbacks on the final fifty three. Now, well,

862
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: Clifford hinted heavily that Streveler had a really good chance.

863
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: But when you lost the Saints game, which Streveler was

864
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: going to play all four quarters, I thought that was

865
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: a play, a chance to really solidify his case for

866
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: the roster. A and B. Cole McCoy's the backup, and

867
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: not a lot of teams in the NFL are keeping

868
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: a coveted roster spot for that third quarter. And how

869
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: many teams would have come after Chris Streveler. Could you

870
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 1: got him to the practice squad, But because of COVID

871
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: considerations and you don't want to be caught short on

872
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: a game day where you're minus a quarterback, and because

873
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: he's much closer to a Kyler's skill set than obviously

874
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: a Colt McCoy is, you have those running aspects. Boom,

875
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: he's on the final fifty three. Yeah, I'm wondering though,

876
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: is it going to be a situation where he dresses

877
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: Chris Scruffler right like last year? Of course? PAULI, Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

878
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: But if you all of a sudden have a positive

879
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: COVID test on a Saturday or a game day, you

880
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: would have the option for the extra quarterback as opposed

881
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: to if he wasn't on the practice squad. There are

882
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: some sort of roster gymnastics you have to execute. At

883
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: least that's according to Darren Urman. We are doing Cardinals underground.

884
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: It's not so easy. And then all of a sudden

885
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: you're the Denver Broncos and your entire quarterback room is

886
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: wiped out and you're starting a former college quarterback who's

887
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: a receiver. So that's one of the reasons. But otherwise,

888
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's something that Cliff Kingsbury likes that aspect

889
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: of having that guy on the roster. And the last

890
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: thing I'll say about this is four running backs. They

891
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: kept four running backs on the roster. Eno Benjamin, Eno, Benjamin.

892
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: I thought he had made the team, he had a

893
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: great preseason, and Jonathan warned those two extra running backs

894
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: right there. I love it. One of our favorite guys

895
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: is Chase Edmonds. But can he be and every doubt

896
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm back. That is another big question out there. Special
