Speaker 6: super Bowl in the books. And guess what we're here

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 6: to get it all started. Because we are fifty two

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 6: weeks a year here on the Big Red Rage, presented

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 6: All this will be good stuff. Cardinals only had a

00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 6: top five run game in twenty twenty three.

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,559

Speaker 1: Coach Dentson will join us.

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 6: Just the all time leading rusher to this day in

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 6: the history of Notre Dame football. Let that hang in

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 6: the air for a minute.

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: That's incredible.

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 6: So there you go, And I'll tell you what. It

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 6: was an incredible finish to the season, was it not?

42
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 6: Super Bowl fifty eight, which went over time, went to

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 6: the very last play of this season. It set a

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 6: TV ratings record, the most watched program in television history. Wow,

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 6: the halftime show broke a record, I mean everything about it.

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 6: And then it culminated in the Chiefs parade and a

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 6: tragic and to the parade in chaos and a fatal shooting.

48
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 6: And so that's why we're here tonight in part Look,

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 6: let's talk some football. Yeah, but in the wake of

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 6: what happened in Kansas City this week. Guess what, that's

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 6: why sports exist to me in so many ways, because

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 6: it's an escape.

53
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: No doubt about it, Pully. And once again, our prayers

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: go out to anybody that has been affected by this,

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: and it's just awful. There's nothing else to say.

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, super Bowl Week in Vegas was such a six

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 6: and once again it culminated in the Chiefs beating the

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 6: Niners twenty five twenty two in overtime. So many directions

59
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 6: to go in this one. What sticks with you?

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, most for me, Paully, it's just a fact that

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: this was a competition, it was not a coronation. I

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: was so happy to see that. I think the pinnacle

63
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: game of every NFL season, I think we'd all agree

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: is the Super Bowl. And shouldn't it be where two

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the football universe square off

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: against each other and it should be a contest. It

67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: should be a competition, not a coronation. Not it should

68
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: be a close game. That's what I wanted to see

69
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: and you know what, that's what we got to see

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: a close game. You know me, Paully, the struggle is real,

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: and I want the struggle. I want every punt, every

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: special teams play to be important where field position is

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: going to start of course for any team. I love

74
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: it all and what I'm so thankful for in Super

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty eight as we saw it all.

76
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 6: So after the game, you heard Patrick Mahomes shout out

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 6: the Kansas Chiefs are never underdogs. Just know that. So look,

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 6: it's a Chiefs team, the yes one. It's third super

79
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 6: Bowl in the last five years after going fifty years

80
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 6: without winning a Super Bowl. But it was Patrick Mahomes

81
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: and a Kansay Chiefs team that earned it. It turns

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 6: out that they had the toughest path to a Super

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 6: Bowl win based on strength of opponents ever faced. They

84
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 6: went on the road. Obviously, he had never done that before.

85
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 6: And when they needed him the most, what was he

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 6: doing on the game winning driving overtime thirteen plays seventy

87
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 6: five yards, He went eight for eight, scrambled for a

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 6: pair of first downs. He was everything the goat is

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 6: supposed to be.

90
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: Just incredible, Paully. To hear you read those numbers off

91
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: right there. Once again, this was a very very physical game.

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: I loved it. I think the San Francisco forty nine ers,

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: if you look at their roster won through fifty three,

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: I think they have the better roster. Yeah, just me

95
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: a more talented roster. And yet the difference in this game,

96
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: and it was no fault of brock Purty whatsoever. I

97
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: thought he played exceptionally well for the young guy that

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: he is to be in the Super Bowl and to

99
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: be playing against Patrick Mahomes, for him to go out

100
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: and put his team in a position where they could

101
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: have won that game, and then all of a sudden,

102
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: you got Pat Mahomes on the other side. That quarterback

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: playing at an incredibly high level with a roster that

104
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: isn't as talented as who they're playing against, took them

105
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: down the field and won the game when they needed

106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: him to do it, he did it. That's what great

107
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks do.

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 6: Think about it. Brock perty had three Pro Bowl weapons

109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 6: at least George Kittle, Deebo Samuel Christian McCaffrey, and there's

110
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes this season working with a cast of characters

111
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 6: at receiver after they had traded Tyreek Hill. All he's

112
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 6: done is won two Super Bowls ever since they tradedway

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 6: Tyreek Kill. Yes, they have the best tight end in

114
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 6: the game in Travis Kelcey. But it just goes to

115
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 6: show you when there's Patrick Mahomes in the game winning

116
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 6: drive and he's changing plays of the line of scrimmage,

117
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 6: and he's changing pass protections, and you got a team

118
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 6: that at one point had lost five out of eight,

119
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 6: you know, late in the season, a receiver crew that

120
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 6: had led the NFL in drops with forty four drop passes.

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 6: They are a master Andy Reid and company of playing

122
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 6: their best ball at the best point in the season

123
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 6: when it counts the most.

124
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: No doubt, bully. And once again, there you are. You're

125
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: talking about this very thing. Think of Pat Mahomes in

126
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: the first half. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Not off

127
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: to a great start by anybody's standard whatsoever. And yet

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes when they needed it the most eight of eight,

129
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: there he goes. I mean that, you know, if this

130
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: is what great quarterbacks do, and I think Patrick Mahomes

131
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: right now, you can you can put him up there.

132
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm concerned with Tom Brady. You can put him up

133
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: there with Peyton Manning. And I'm talking about not as

134
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: guys that have won X amount of Super Bowls. I'm

135
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: talking about quarterbacks that's orchestrated an offense and engineered an

136
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: offense as if there were a coach and shoulder Pats.

137
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, he to see Pat Mahomes playing at

138
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: incredibly high efficient level, it reminds me of Peyton Manning. Now,

139
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: once again, we know Peyton Manning doesn't have as many

140
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl wins, nowhere close as Tom Brady. Yet at

141
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: the same time, if anybody you watch Peyton Manning play

142
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: the game of football, this guy was an artist playing quarterback,

143
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady you could say the exact same thing.

144
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: But Pat Mahomes. When I look at Pat Mahomes, I

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: think he might be I'm gonna walk when I say this,

146
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: even better at orchestrating and engineering than Peyton Manning or

147
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady.

148
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 6: Wow, I might balk when I say this that. When

149
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 6: I was watching Patrick Mahomes in some of those money moments,

150
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: especially the run pass options that were so effective, I

151
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 6: was thinking Kyler Murray. I was thinking there aren't many quarterbacks,

152
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 6: if any, that have that skill set but Kyler's one

153
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 6: of the few where you could design an offense and

154
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 6: task a quarterback in a similar fashion. And when I

155
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 6: was watching the way they went about carving up the

156
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 6: forty nine ers, I'm thinking Kyler Murray and maybe some

157
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 6: of the same possibilities, And.

158
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: I think you're right on that, Polly Can. I also

159
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: say right now that how you saw the Kansas City

160
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs use Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl fifty eight is

161
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: how you want your quarterback to run the ball. That's

162
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: how you want to do it. You want to You

163
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: don't want to go out there and say, we got

164
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: to give him the ball twelve times in this game.

165
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 8: We got it.

166
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: We got to call those number twelve times. We get

167
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: If you need your quarterback to run that many times,

168
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: you you you got the wrong quarterback, Paul. I'm just

169
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: saying that right now, if you need to do that

170
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: to make your offense work, quarterbacks have got to throw

171
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: the ball and they got to run it when they

172
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: must run it. How many times you saw Pat Mahomes

173
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: pull the ball down and run it and move the chains,

174
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: not just cold runs which were a couple, just a

175
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: handful of cald runs for Pat Mahomes, but pull it

176
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: down and extend plays when you must. That is the

177
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: quarterback of the future in the NFL. And that is

178
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: what the Arizona Cardinals have in Kyler Murray.

179
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 6: Super Bowl on the line, fourth and one in overtime

180
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 6: and he runs eight yards first down, then nineteen yards

181
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 6: he runs, He gets to the second level, leaves guys

182
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 6: in the dust, sets up the game when he touched down. Yep,

183
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 6: I just I'm thinking Kyler Murray, when you gotta have it,

184
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: that's when you want your quarterback running. Hey, Cardinals season

185

Speaker 6: ticket priority list go to asycardinals dot com slash priority list.

186
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 6: We'll come back. We'll talk about the Niners, implications for

187
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 6: the Cardinals and a former Cardinals head coach on the

188
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 6: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford. In Gilbert.

189
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120

00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 5: nineteen San Francisco, McKinnon is in up, running back first

Speaker 5: down and goal to go, play action.

192
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 7: Fake right doctor touchdown, Kansas City the Cole Hartman, the

193
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 7: Cole Hartman.

194
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: With the Cats on the right side a three yard

195
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 5: touchdown passing overtime.

196
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City wins the game twenty five twenty two and.

197
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: The Chiefs Kidnam has started its own history class because

198
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: for the first time in six thousand, nine hundred and

199
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 5: forty four days, there is a back to back Super

200
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 5: Bowl champion and it is the Kansas City Chiefs.

201
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 6: Mitch Holtis Kansas City Chiefs Radio great call. Third Super

202
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 6: Bowl win in five years for Kansas City, first repeat

203
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 6: CHAMPI in the NFL since three to zero four to

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 6: the Patriot for a team that once again had lost

205
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 6: five out of eight at one point. Andy Reid told

206
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 6: the story he texted Antonio Pierce, the Raiders head coach,

207
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 6: said thanks, you reminded us it's a physical game. It's

208
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 6: a game that is based on the detail. Sometimes when

209
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 6: you're a defending champ, you can let some of those

210
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 6: things slide. You taught us a lesson. They simplified the

211
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 6: offense and the rest is history. They entered the postseason

212
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 6: ten to one odds of winning it all, and they

213
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 6: defied all the doubters and they went on the road

214
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 6: and now, as if the underdog thing wasn't enough, momentum

215
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 6: right and motivation for Patrick Mahomes. Now they have the

216
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 6: chance of being the first ever three P champ in

217
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl era, and that's something that's gonna drive

218
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 6: Mahomes and company.

219
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you have to wonder too, Paully, because

220
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: the whispers were out there about Andy Reid. Maybe Andy

221
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: Reid walks away if they lose that game, you know

222
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, Maybe he does that. Maybe he might

223
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: all walk away if they win that game. There were

224
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: whispers out there, but I thought it was interesting to

225
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: hear Andy Reive said, no way man coming back a

226
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: three peat. The possibility thereop to be the first team

227
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: ever to do it. Oh boy, you want to talk

228
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: about Chiefs fatigue at that point in time. I don't

229
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: know about you, PAULI. I had a little bit of

230
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs fatigue going into the Super Bowl, and if that happens,

231
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: that's gonna be rough.

232
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 6: That struggle would be real. There's no doubt. It's a

233
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 6: big red rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert we

234
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 6: are santan Ford, Paul calvic Ron, woefully soon to be

235
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 6: joined by Cardinals running backs coach Autrey Denson. By the way,

236
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 6: thou shout not make contact and yell in the face

237
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: of your head coach on an NFL sideline, Travis Kelcey

238
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 6: was taken a task by his brother Jason on their podcast,

239
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 6: and Jason told him, you crossed the line. And Travis

240
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 6: didn't disagree, and he said when he ran into the

241
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 6: coach and he stumbled in his head. He said, oh,

242
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 6: and so they're all good.

243
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: They won.

244
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 6: Winning cures everything.

245
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it does, Paully, But you know what, I was

246
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: really surprised. I am. I'm a Travis Kelce guy. I

247
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: love his talent. He plays the game very, very hard.

248
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: He's not the true stud tight end, you know that

249
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: I love so much. Yet at the same time, he's

250
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: just an excellent football player. I was disappointed, Paul. I

251
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: was disappointed to see him stamp into Andy Reid the

252
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: way that he did. And I thought it was disrespectful period,

253
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: especially considering the context of what was going on around him,

254
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs were struggling and

255
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: that first half. And I get it. He's competitive, he's

256
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: fired up. Hey, listen, nobody was more out of their

257
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: mind playing the game of football than me. And can

258
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I tell you have I gone face to face with coaches? Yes?

259
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: I have, and was there yelling? Yeah, Paul, there was

260
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: yelling involved. But you don't accost your coach, coach, bang

261
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: into him and then get this far from him, screaming

262
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: in his ear. Listen if you're disappointed, and I understand

263
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: you're disappointed, but it almost felt like a little pout

264
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: to me as well.

265
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 6: Paul, Yeah, the ego run amok, maybe just a little bit,

266
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 6: a little bit. Now, as for the forty nine ers, well,

267
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 6: guess what since twenty nineteen, that's two Super Bowl losses,

268
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 6: two losses in the NFC Championship in that span. As well.

269
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 6: Kyle Shanahan hurting a lot of doubters, a lot of

270
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 6: critics saying the Niners can't win a big game. He

271
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 6: addressed that head on this week said quote, to say

272
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 6: the Niners can't win a big game would be an

273
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 6: extremely inaccurate statement. The fact that we keep getting there

274
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 6: shows how much we win big games. But it will

275
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 6: be changed. And they fired former Cardinals head coach Steve

276
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 6: Wilkes as defensive coordinator one and done with the Niners

277
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 6: as DC.

278
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was really surprised by that. I was because

279
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: once again you got a situation where you've got the

280
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: number three scoring defense in the National Football League all

281
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: season long. Steve Wilkes the defensive coordinator. Of course, the

282
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: number three giving up seventeen point five. I believe Paul

283
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: seventeen point five. The forty nine Ers defense played very

284
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: very well, yet at the same time when it mattered

285
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: the most, not so well, and they still only gave

286
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: up twenty five points to a Kansas City Chiefs team

287
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: that I think going into that, you would say, if

288
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: you told any defensive coordinator in the league, hey, listen,

289
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: you know what you're going to give up twenty five

290
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: points against the Kansas City Chiefs, I think they'd say,

291
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: I'll take that right now. But having said that, you

292
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: know this, something must have happened between Kyle Shanahan and

293
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes. Whatever that's something was, because you rarely fire

294
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator after you've been to the Super Bowl.

295
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Who produced the way that he did.

296
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 6: The little explanation he gave, he said it wasn't a

297
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 6: great fit that they kept the scheme from Tamico Ryans,

298
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 6: and that the coordinator in the scheme didn't quite fit

299
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 6: the way they wanted. And in truth, it wasn't Wilke's scheme,

300
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 6: it was Demiko Ryan's scheme. So that was a little

301
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 6: bit of explanation that Kyle Shanahan gave. You know, Fred

302
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 6: Warner after the game said, in a quote, super Bowls

303
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: aren't given. You've got to take them in the moments

304
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 6: where they are there, and we didn't do it, end quote.

305
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 6: And there's a lot of other mistakes you can cite

306
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 6: that had nothing to do with the Niners defense. I mean,

307
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 6: whether it was a punt return turnover that gift wrapped

308
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 6: Kansas City's first touchdown, they blocked extra point, the old

309
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 6: line missed a block of Chris Jones, and that critical

310
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 6: play in overtime, right, I mean, Christian McCaffrey lost a fumbler.

311
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: And Paul too, you know, and you know this, I

312
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: know you do. But just like anybody at your workplace

313
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: right now, there are some people here's just not a

314
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: good fit. You're just not from a personality perspective for

315
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: whatever reason. And I'm not saying that's the case. Nobody's

316
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: told me that, but you know, once again, sometimes it's

317
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: just not a good fit. And obviously that's what Kyle

318
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan said.

319
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 6: And dare I say the Niners didn't look like they

320
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 6: were real equipped to deal with that Kansas City blitz

321
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 6: and Steve Spagnola got a contract extension this week. He

322
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 6: did a really good job of disguising a lot of

323
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 6: those blitzes. And in the second half the stat I

324
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: saw was at brock Perty was blitzed fifty percent of

325
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 6: his pass attempts, and a lot of times it was

326
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 6: really effective against the young quarterback. And then you got

327
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 6: to overtime and the coin toss decision Ron Wolfley and

328
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 6: Man was a lot of shall we say, circumspection of

329
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 6: that and a lot of blowback as to why why

330
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 6: would you opt for the unknown versus the known? Why

331
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 6: would you not want to talk take the ball second

332
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 6: when you know what the situation is and what you need.

333
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 6: And if you saw the NFL films miked up. Yeah,

334
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 6: the chiefs were all about it. When the Niners decided

335
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 6: to take the ball, the whole chief said, I was

336
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 6: a great give it to him.

337
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know, you know. It was a situation

338
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: where I was thinking about this. Maybe it was because

339
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: the defense was on the field. I was talking to

340
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander about this. They didn't want to go back

341
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: to back with that right there. I also thought this

342
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: pully right here, this is one of the reasons why.

343
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: I thought maybe he didn't want Brock Purdy in a

344
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: situation where okay, Pat Mahomes took the ball, went down

345
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: the field, scored a touchdown. Oh, Brock, by the way,

346
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: now all the pressure is on you. I thought, maybe

347
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: there's not as much pressure, even though we're talking about

348
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl at overtime. If he's the guy who

349
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: takes the ball first and goes down the field, the

350
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: thing is.

351
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 6: Kyle Shannan said it was predetermined before the game and

352
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 6: that they wanted the third possession because that's when it

353
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 6: would be sudden death. But the Kansas City response was, well,

354
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 6: they'll never be a third possession because if we score

355
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 6: a touchdown to match your touchdown, we're going for two.

356
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: Right Well there and there you go, right there. I

357
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: don't know if that really was the reason or he

358
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: was trying to protect Brock.

359
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 6: Hey, listen to your Cardinals' favorite Cardinals podcast wherever you go.

Speaker 6: by Santan Ford and Gilbert.

363
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: He takes turns and off Connor sprinting to his left

364
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 4: find some room at the twenty at the fifteenth, closing

365
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: the ten head into the fe for the touchdown James

366
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: Connor from twenty nine yards out. That drive was all

367
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: about James Connor.

368
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: When you hammer the box, there's going to be a leak,

369
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: and that was a huge leak from the Seattle Seahawks.

370
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 4: Box and off Connor off the right side across the

371
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 4: twenty five to thirty thirty five forty. He's got a

372
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 4: thousand head midfield and steps up there first one thousand

373
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 4: yard season for James Connor.

374
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 6: On that, I'll tell you. For everything the Cardinals accomplished

375
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 6: in the twenty twenty three season, there's a lot to

376
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 6: talk about. To finish fourth in rushing as a team.

377
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: One of the best things that could possibly happen to

378
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: any team.

379
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 6: But wait, there's more to finish second in rushing yards

380
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 6: per carry, To finish first and explode Joseph runs in

381
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 6: the NFL elite rushing team. Paul I fully admit I

382
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 6: did not see that coming. Twenty plus years on the

383
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 6: Cardinals sideline. Did not see that coming. We got to

384
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 6: get to the bottom of the whole Kramat vertical mantra.

385
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 6: James Connor's first career, one thousand yards season, all the above,

386
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: It is a pleasure to welcome Autrey Dentson, Cardinals running

387
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 6: backs coach to the Big Red Rage presented by Santan

388
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,960

389
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 8: How are we doing, man, I'm excellent. How are you

390
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 8: always doing?

391
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: We're doing great? Coach, Really appreciate your time right now.

392
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Did you have any idea whatsoever in training camp you're

393
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna have this kind of success running the football this year?

394
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: You know what, Everything about me begins and ends with

395
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: my faith, and so I would say I definitely always

396
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: believe that the best outcome is going to be our outcome.

397
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: And being blessed with a leader and a young man

398
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: like James Connor going in. You're really really excited about him,

399
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: Like James is a person that he is just such

400
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: a great young man and a great leader. You want

401
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: to see good things happen for him. A coach, man,

402
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: I definitely felt like it was going to be special.

403
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 2: He said the same thing as we started off, and

404
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: we were blessed man to actually have a special season.

405
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 6: We said it before, we'll say it again. He's not

406
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 6: just a player, he's a mindset. He's a mentality for

407
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 6: everyone who's not around the team like you are. Obviously,

408
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 6: how much do other players feed off him? How much

409
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 6: does he set the tone?

410
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: You know what he leaves by example, but he knows

411
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: when to be vocal. And that goes back to James's mother. Man,

412
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: he is just like I said, we can't take any

413
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: credit for James Connor. That is you talk about the

414
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: whole thing nature versus nurture. He was naturally created like that.

415
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 2: God blessed him to be that type of leader. His

416
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: environment obviously nurtured him.

417
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 8: But man, he is.

418
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean, what he does for us is just unexplainable

419
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 2: and we can't quantify how valuable it is.

420
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 1: You know, back when I was playing, of course, all

421
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: the way back in nineteen eighty five, I can't even

422
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: imagine that, Audrey, it's so long. You gotta be kidding me. Yet,

423
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: at the same time there and every down back was

424
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: something that was common in the National Football League. He

425
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: is in every down back. He's playing in an era

426
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: where you just don't do that anymore correct.

427
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: And you know what's interesting about that is that was

428
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: some of the questions coming in. And so you talk

429
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: about somebody who has done as many things as he's

430
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: done to embrace from day one an improvement plan for him.

431
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: So he's not content with where he is. He's always

432
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: striving to get better and that's his mindset. So it

433
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: trickles down to not just the offense, but the team overall.

434
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: And so what you saw was just him embracing just

435
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: never being satisfied, always reaching and pushing himself because he

436
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: understands the more that he demands of himself, the more

437
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: he can demand from others.

438
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: One of the things I love the most about watching

439
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: James Connor run the football is he is fearless in

440
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: terms of running the football. And you know, coach, the

441
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: way that spreads just fearless when he runs the ball,

442
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: and he does it in a very, very physical, in

443
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: your face kind of way, and that energizes the entire sideline.

444
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: That energizes the offense, the defense, special teams. Ever, when

445
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: you watch a guy that is out there giving it.

446
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 2: And it as this coach, it's fun, man, It's fun

447
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: watching your guy, I mean, break tackles and just being

448
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: his element. So you are absolutely correct. He provides that

449
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: energy for all of us, everybody in the stadium.

450
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 6: If you want energy and James Connor recent addition to

451
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 6: the Paschpot Dave Pascher, the voice of the Arizona Cardinals.

452
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 6: He had the great comedian on, Frank Caliendo, master impressionist,

453
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 6: and Dave asked him to recreate a play call but

454
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 6: doing in the voice of Jack Nicholson and then Morgan Freeman.

455
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 2: Roll it.

456
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 6: This is a James Connor four yard touchdown run.

457
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: Just do flat shovel, flat face as Jack Nicholson.

458
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 7: Flat shovel, flat face, That's how you run the ball

459
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 7: inside the red shone A little gold to go. Hand

460
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 7: it off to James Connor. Let him find the light

461
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 7: sweat he did here. James Connor.

462

Speaker 2: H flat flat shovel, flat face, That's how you run

463
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 2: the ball inside the red zone.

464
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: Son Morgan Freeman, Oh my goodness, I know Ardrey Denson

465

Speaker 6: Cardinals running backs couch. You're like, what am I supposed

467
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 6: to do with that? So okay, here's my question. Cardinals

468
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 6: led the NFL, as I mentioned, and explosive runs. James

469
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 6: Connor himself had eleven runs of twenty or more yards

470
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 6: that led the league. He's not a burner per se,

471
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 6: So what do you attribute that.

472
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: To our preparation and attention to detail. Again, I'm blessed

473
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: to have just a great group of young men just

474
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: in that room, But I'm also blessed to have played

475
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: the position, so I feel like he gives them some

476
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: different insight. I'm able to see the game a lot

477
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 2: different because I've been in those positions, and so everything

478
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: we do is about preparing those guys and pushing them

479
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: and trying to put them or putting them in situations

480
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: where what I to eliminating the human element with reps

481
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: of just now it becomes second nature. And so what

482
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: you saw a lot of is that he was able

483
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: to play and they were able to play faster, longer

484
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: because they weren't having to think they were reacting because

485
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: we had prepared ourselves for those situations, so when they happened,

486
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: we were able to take advantage of them.

487
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Coach, how important was it that this offense evolved over

488
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: the course of this year and it got to a

489
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: point at the end of the year where Kyler Murray

490
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: was under center a lot of the time. How important

491
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: was that to James Connor and the ability to run

492
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: the ball?

493
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: You know, I think when you talk about evolution, all

494
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: it is is you're just trying to put us, the

495
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 2: guys in the best position to do whatever the current

496
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: situation dictates.

497
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 8: Drew does a great job of that as.

498
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: An offensive unit, collectively, just making it sure that everyone's

499
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: open for suggestions, suggestions and things of that nature. So

500
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: when we go in, it is just all about being

501
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: able to do what we do best and then being

502
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: able to dictate to the defense. So I think that

503
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: evolution was just natural, advised upon the opportunities that we

504
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: saw collectively that were available.

505
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: But I think when I think of James Connor, I

506
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: think of a downhill runner. I think of the guy

507
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: that I want to put his toes at six or

508
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: seven yards deep and actually attack the line of scrimmage

509
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: with a guy like that, that really is his strength,

510
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: don't you think? You know what?

511
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 8: As I tell them, I don't want them to have

512
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 8: any chinks in their armor.

513
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: And so my job and our task is always to

514
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: make sure that their overall game is always improving.

515
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 8: So you saw James.

516
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: Wiggle, you saw him do things, Yeah, people maybe didn't

517
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: think he can do, And so that is always the goal,

518
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: is that I don't want them to be a one

519
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: trick anything. I want them to have total game and

520
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: be able to do a little bit of everything. And

521
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 2: so he was able to catch, he was able to

522
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: show that he can make people miss, he can run

523
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: through you, he can run around you. And so again

524
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: it's just about getting to know each other and having

525
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: a really good working relationship. What he trusts me to

526
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: do things that he would normally do and it paid off.

527
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: It's just like offensively as a unit, you want to

528
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: be whatever you need to be in order to beat

529
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: your opponents.

530
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 8: Yes, and you need position versatility to do that.

531
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 6: Speaking of and we're speaking with Autree Denson, Cardinals running

532
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 6: backs coach. Cardinals ran for over two hundred yards as

533
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 6: a team four times a buck fifty six times. What

534
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 6: do you think opponents this year learned about the Cardinals

535
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 6: new offense and this scheme, and what do you think

536
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 6: this offseason they're preparing for Accordingly.

537
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: You know what I think? As JG said, man, we

538
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 2: just our guys played hard. I mean, and that's a

539
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: testament to him the mindset, the culture that we've been

540
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: able to set, and I just our guys really played hard.

541
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: And when you come away from it, that's the thing

542
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: that you can hang your hat on is that, man,

543
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: people didn't want to play us. I mean it was

544
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: teams that and I've heard it all off season and

545
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: during the season, like, man, you guys played hard, and

546
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: so that is really kudos to JG from the top

547
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: down set in that mindset. But the guys, man, are

548
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: really embracing it. And no matter what you talk about

549
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 2: the season, the record it they played. We literally played

550
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: until the last play of the season, like I mean fighting,

551
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: and that's a testament. I mean, guys just really bought

552
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: in and just played for one another. So you don't

553
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: see that a lot all over the place, especially just

554
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: in our culture. But man, we got a great group

555
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: of young men that play for each other because football

556
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: still is the ultimate team game.

557
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: You know. One of the guys that really impressed me

558
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: was Michael Carter. How did he advance this past season?

559
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on Michael Carter and the way

560
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: he came in and produced.

561
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: I guess if I'm gonna frame it by saying this,

562
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: Michael Carter has a passion for playing the game, and

563
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: when you watch him, he's fun to watch because he's

564
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: having fun. And so one of the things I did

565
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: for the guys I ah my, sayd this is I

566
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: got him a frame picture each of them, just something

567
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: to remember and my wife. The first thing that jumps

568
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 2: out on him is as he's running, he has a

569
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: smile so big on his face and so that's it's

570
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: funny that that is Mike. He smiles and plays like

571
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: during the game. He is smiling as he is playing,

572
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: and that's just his passion for the game.

573
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: It is.

574
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 8: It's different.

575
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 6: How many times did you replay in the film room

576
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 6: him breaking the ankles to the Eagles, dB, because I

577
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 6: mean you were in Philly. It was Alan Iverson esque

578
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 6: the way he broke the ankles of that guy. The

579
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 6: whole sideline erupted.

580
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: We have a ruling room, and again it goes back

581
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: to just how great the guys are is that they

582
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: really want to talk about what they did well. They

583
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: really want to focus on how they need to improve

584
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: and just collectively.

585
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 8: In the room.

586
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: So that's not you know, radio talk, that is what

587
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: it is. So we really didn't replay it besides watching

588
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: the film, but we did spend time on the other

589
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: things that we needed to improve on. And again that

590
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: comes from just the expectation in the room coaching.

591
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite part of being a coach.

592
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a favorite part for you, whether

593
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: it's watching tape together collectively with your guys or up

594
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: on the grease board gracing it up, or is it

595
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: the one What exactly is your favorite thing about being

596
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: a coach.

597
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: And I'm a back into it by saying my favorite

598
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: thing about it is coaching for me is ministry, and

599
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: so I'm very clear about I'm using the platform athletics

600
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: to influence someone.

601
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 8: Lives for Christ. And so what that does is it's

602
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 8: my love.

603
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: For just people, right. I love the Lord and loving people,

604
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: and so I want to see them be significant. And

605
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: so what happens is every week I push myself more

606
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: and more in every aspect because I don't I want

607
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: to let them down. I want to be better for them.

608
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: And so you don't mind watching film, you don't mind

609
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: doing whatever it takes because I will not let them down.

610
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 8: And that's where that.

611
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: Relationship was really able to develop, because we're talking about

612
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: things and we're making sure that we're covering everything because

613
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: I want them to be equipped, and they understand that.

614
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're main.

615
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 6: Thing absolutely, so I can see how you were a

616
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 6: head coach at Charleston Southern for four years. I can

617
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 6: see that it's coming through here, Autrey Dents and Cardinals

618
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 6: running backs coach. You're also with the Senior Bowl, one

619
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 6: of a half dozen Cardinals assistants to at the All

620
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 6: Star Games. What was that experience?

621
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: Like?

622
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: Man, a blessing and really surreal. So I hadn't been

623
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: to the Senior Bowl, and my wife reminded me of this.

624
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: She likes to date me. But I hadn't been to

625
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl since I played in it. Wow, And

626
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: so that was in nineteen ninety nine that I haven't

627
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: been to Mobile And so it was surreal and a

628
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: blessing to be back there now coaching it. And it

629
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: was a blast man to get a chance to be

630
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: around all the up and comers, right the who's who's

631
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: the young men that you watch on TV and now

632
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: you're beginning to chance to get kind of a you know,

633
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: an early evail on them and spending time with them,

634
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: having them in meeting rooms, and the thing I enjoyed

635
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: the most was just sitting around and talking with the guys,

636
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: because they want to pick your brain as well as

637
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: somebody who's played the game is somebody who's now coaching it.

638
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: They have a ton of questions because I can't remember

639
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: my Senior Bowl process because when you're a player, you're

640
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: so locked in it's like a blur.

641
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 8: And so that was really cool.

642
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: Because they have a ton of questions, a ton of

643
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: anxiety around what does this process look like? And the

644
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: one thing that was common is that none of them

645
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: expected to be this much already. And as I warned them,

646
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: it's just gonna get even more challenging as they go

647
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: through this process.

648
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: For us coaching.

649
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 6: You want to throw up there, I will not throw

650
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 6: names out.

651
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: You know. What they did a good job of is

652
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 2: that we were able to be around all the guys.

653
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: So I was only American squad, so I was around

654
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: my guys. But in the hotel, you were able to

655
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: hang out with all the guys, and so I found

656
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: obviously I found my Notre Dame guys. We had a

657
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: lot of guys. They're represented about five or six of

658
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: those guys. But it was really cool to set up

659
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: because it allows you really on off time to just

660
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: talk and get to know the guys for who they are.

661
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 6: He was not, he was not he was not what

662
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 6: kind of young running back and that's setting do to

663
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 6: impress you as the running backs coach without naming names,

664
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 6: what can they do? What stood out to you? What

665
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 6: did you make note.

666
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: Of authentically being themselves, really wanting to have the information,

667
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: but not trying to be something they're not being able

668
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: to retain information and ask questions, not just to ask questions.

669
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: So really it really just comes back to them being

670
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: who they are. And that was a lot of my

671
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: advice to him, is man, just be who you are.

672
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: It's goiden you to this point. So often you see

673
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: people change things change people around them, and that's really

674
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: where their their their shortcomings or downfalls come in. Don't

675
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: change and prove and continue to do what you've been doing.

676
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: It's been good enough to this point. Have faith that

677
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: it'll continue to take you through.

678
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: So what do you miss the most as a former

679
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: player here? You are a guy that played this game.

680
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: What is it that you miss right now? Is there

681
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: anything that you miss?

682
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: The thing you miss when you finished playing is it's

683
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 2: the relationships? Just the people, right, I mean those are

684
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: your brothers. I mean, you invest so much time to

685
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: each other. So it is always the people, right. It's

686
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: not the buildings. It's not the.

687
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 8: Game, yeah, you love it, but it is the people.

688
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: And it is those experiences that you just once you leave,

689
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: you're no longer around each other as much, and so

690
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: it's phone calls, it's social media, but it's never the

691
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: same when you know you see each other every day

692
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 2: for pretty much eight nine hours a day.

693
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 6: You know, your former teammate at Notre Dame, Bertrand Barry,

694
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 6: was a longtime player host of this show for like

695
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 6: five or six years, Bertrand Barry. So next time you

696
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 6: see them, yeah, get on them, and then remind him too,

697
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 6: how you're still the all time leading rusher in Notre

698
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 6: Dame history. You got a flex out one for b Tray.

699
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: You know what, he knows it. So our sons, we

700
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: were blessed. Our sons, my son, his son, and Greg

701
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: Toler's son all played this year for the same team

702
00:33:58,640 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: at Highland.

703
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 8: I had a chance to see Burt every week.

704
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: And the one thing I don't have to do is

705
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: flex that to Burt, because if it wasn't for Alan

706
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: ross it was obviously God that Alan Rossum and Bert

707
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 2: Barry helped recruit me to Notre Dame. So I don't

708
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: know if it's probably another person that actually is more

709
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: proud of what I was able to accomplish than Burt,

710
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: and he's he's much more verbal about it than I am.

711
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 8: I can tell you that.

712
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 6: He still says that he was a great running back

713
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 6: in high school in Texas. I'm not sure I need

714
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 6: evidence of that.

715
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 2: I need evidence he was a heck of a hurdling

716
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 2: now unbelievably big dude.

717
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: Goodness, I absolutely love that. Thank you so much, coach,

718
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, Jesus Is Lord, thank you man.

719
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, man.

720
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 6: Thank you, coach. Appreciate it, and you know, appreciate you

721
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 6: giving us some time. All the off season meetings and

722
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 6: everything going on. Everyone thinks the coaches are like gone

723
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 6: for three. No, nope, they are grinding. In fact, we'll

724
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 6: come back and we're going to talk about one of

725
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 6: the big time offensive linemen, Paris Johnson Junior, helped pave

726
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 6: the way last season. It's the Big Red Rage presented

727
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 6: by Santan Ford in Gilbert. With the sixth pick in

728
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty three.

729
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 5: NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Paris Johnson, junior, Ohio State.

730
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 9: High high football character, highly intelligent, well spoken, mature, dependable,

731
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 9: and you can tell that he's made of the right things,

732
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 9: the things that we want not only our offensive lineman

733
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 9: to be made of, but what our entire team.

734
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 6: I mean, he's nasty, plays with an edge, as we

735
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 6: found out over the course of this season, a season

736
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 6: where he's the only offensive player on the Cardinals roster

737
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 6: to play every single snap.

738
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: Awesome.

739
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 6: Think about that as an offensive lineman. Think about a

740
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 6: Cardinals offensive line that was devastated by injuries the season before.

741
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 6: So with a six pick overall, it is Mantia Sapport's

742
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 6: first ever selection as general manager of the Arizona Cardinals.

743
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 6: Paris Johnson Junior, the All American out of Ohio State.

744
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 6: And then when you hit zoom out and you look

745
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 6: at a rookie class that led the NFL with eleven

746
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 6: rookies that started at least one game combined for an

747
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 6: NFL high sixty four starts as a rookie class, ron

748
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 6: wolf La, I mean, yeah, you tell me how much

749
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 6: is that gonna pay off next season? All those reps

750
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 6: for all those rookies.

751
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: It's going to be incredible, Bully. It just it's something

752
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: you cannot overlook. Right now. The experience of going out

753
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: and playing and going on the field and competing and

754
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: realizing to yourself, I belong here, I can do this,

755
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: I can play with these guys. When you get to

756
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: that point as an NFL player, a young guy trying

757
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: to make your way at the highest level our species

758
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: can generate when you get to the point where you know,

759
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: deep down inside, I belong here. Now the sky is

760
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: a limit. How much better can you possibly get? You'll

761
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: get all the talent out of yourself once you come

762
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: to the point that says I belong here. Paris Johnson Junior,

763
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: he definitely belongs here. He's got everything you could possibly

764
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: want in attackle. He's got the feet, he's got the athleticism,

765
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: he's got the demeanor. Of course, he's got a nice

766
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: build as well. He's not the classic butt gut that

767
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: is out there right now. He's got everything that you

768
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: need from a tackle in today's NFL. And the best ability,

769
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: as we all know, is a valibility. You know.

770
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 6: My favorite anecdote was the game at Pittsburgh where the

771
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 6: Cardinals went out and after the game TJ. Watt said,

772
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 6: we got out physical, we got our bleeps kicked as

773
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 6: the Cardinals got a win, and that was a Steelers

774
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 6: team that was desperate for a win in the playoff

775
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 6: picture at that point. And at the very end of

776
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 6: the game you might have seen there was a little

777
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 6: bit of a tussle between Paris Johnson Junior and TJ.

778
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 6: Watt all right, ruining, a toot and walking and a

779
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 6: stomping over there. Guys had to step in between him.

780
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 6: Turns out that Paris tried to take the all Pro

781
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 6: out of bounds, try to block him all the way

782
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 6: into the sideline and beyond, and TJ. Watt wasn't heaven

783
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 6: any of that.

784
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: Is there anything wrong with that? Paul asked you rhetorically.

785
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 6: Yes, so I ask you, Ron wolfleet, would you like

786
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 6: to hear the list of premier pass rushers at Paris

787
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 6: Johnson Junior went against last season? Yes, here we go,

788
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 6: Aaron Donald twice. Okay, Nick Bosa twice.

789
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: You had to start with the easy stuff.

790
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 6: Here, come on, Test Sweat twice. TJ. Watt, who led

791
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 6: the league with nineteen sacks, Trey Hendrickson at seventeen and

792
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 6: a half for the Bengals. He went against Micah Parsons

793
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 6: and Miles Garrett fourteen apiece Baltimore's Justin mattabwuek a right

794
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 6: thirteen sacks.

795
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 8: Wow.

796
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 6: I tweeted this out and even have room for Jonathan

797
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 6: Greener who was a pro bowler for Houston, and Will

798
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 6: Anderson Junior, your NFL defensive rookie of the Year.

799
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Paully, but I thought we're talking about right tackle here?

800
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: Are we not talking about right town We are talking

801
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: about left tackle. See, this is the National Football League.

802
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: For the most part, it's still a situation I believe,

803
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: where your right defensive end, as the defense looks at it.

804
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: Of course, from their perspective, your right defensive end over

805
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: the left tackle still is the guy that you want

806
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: to be your best pass rusher for the most part,

807
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: and the reason being is because of the blind side

808
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback, of course. But having said that, in today's NFL,

809
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: so much of the time you're moving these guys around.

810
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: You're moving these guys, they've got to be able to

811
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: flip that right defensive end over to left defensive end

812
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: and left defensive end over to right defensive end, moving

813
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: them around some even inside. They'll do that with Aaron

814
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: Donald from time to time as well. Put him on

815
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: the edge or leave him inside wherever it may be.

816
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: They'll move guys around. You have to be able to

817
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: do that. That means you need two really good tackles

818
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: in today's NFL. The right tackle in this offense, interestingly enough,

819
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: because you've got Kyler Murray, who's a right handed quarterback,

820
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: might even be more important the right tackle because when

821
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback is throwing, the peripheral vision is more towards

822
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: the right side typically than it is towards the left,

823
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: and you can feel movement, You can feel motion, you

824
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: can feel something coming at you more out of the

825
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: right tackle. I think it might even be you could

826
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: build an argument it might even be more important in

827
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: this offense to keep that open for Kyler Murray on

828
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: that right side.

829
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 6: To your point, Paris Johnson Junior told me late in

830
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 6: the season that in the first Rams game there were

831
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 6: multiple times where Aaron Donald broke the huddle and said,

832
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 6: I got the rook and purposely came over there. You go,

833
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 6: I'm at right tackle, yeah, just to test the rook yep.

834
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 6: And to Paris's credit, he said, you know what, I

835
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 6: wanted to test myself against the best that'll do it.

836
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 6: And now the question is next year and going forward,

837
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 6: is he going to be the right tackle? Is he

838
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 6: going to be the left tackle?

839
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah?

840
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 6: We know about the season. Any knee injury to DJ Humphries,

841
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 6: what does that mean for next season? What does that

842
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 6: mean for the left tackle position going forward? Well, Paris

843
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 6: Johnson Junior was asked about that after the year.

844
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 10: I just want to be a part of the best

845
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 10: five and where I'm out on the line, it is

846
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 10: depending on them, But definitely this offseason, I'm going to

847
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 10: continue to train both sides. You're ready, you know, so

848
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 10: when my number is called, if it's called to go

849
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 10: to left, I can be able to step right in.

850
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 10: So I'm definitely gonna take this off seat and work

851
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 10: on both sides.

852
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 6: What it's worth of you is also has how long

853
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 6: would it take you? Like if you would have done

854
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 6: it during the season? He said, give me one practice,

855
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 6: said I played enough left. I played enough left tackle

856
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 6: to Ohio State. Just give me one full practice. I

857
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 6: could play it in the NFL, just to get the

858
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 6: footwork down again. So in his eyes, it's not a

859
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 6: monumental move to go from right to left. The question

860
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 6: is what will the Cardinals do in the draft. What

861
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 6: might the Cardinals doing free agency. I think a lot

862
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 6: of that might be dictated based on player acquisition. Perhaps

863
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 6: we'll see.

864
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's so interesting to hear him because now

865
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: you know why Monti assen for drafted him number six.

866
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh for all, this guy is a squared away dude,

867
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: And so much of the time offensive lineman play, you

868
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: don't want them to be explosive. You don't want them

869
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,479
Speaker 1: to be volatile all over the place. Mentally, you want

870
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: them to be the guys that lower the plow and

871
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 1: hit the gas for the most part, really simple dudes.

872
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: And listening to Paris Johnson Junior in his simple logic

873
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: and how he approaches his game of football, how he

874
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: approaches his position being right tackle, and whether or not

875
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: he would be willing to move to left tackle. I

876
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: can't get enough of this kiddie squared away Paul.

877
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 6: Don't forget he graduated in three years and he was

878
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 6: actually a writer on the Ohio State school paper. He

879
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 6: was a journalism major. Okay, that's right, next level. A

880
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 6: lot of this stuff that's right now going into the offseason.

881
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 6: Ron wolf Ley, how much would you desire another tackle

882
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 6: in this draft? Because it is loaded in offensive tackles

883
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 6: this year and or maybe a center. There's a few

884
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 6: franchise caliber centers, so it's hard not to notice. In

885
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 6: the AFC Championship game, you saw Tyler Linderbaum going against

886
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 6: Creed Humphrey, two names that have been associated with the

887
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 6: Cardinals in past tracks.

888
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: As Paul, there are NFL scouts that are out there

889
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: and general managers. And I'm not saying draft subterfuge isn't

890
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 1: in play, because it always is, but they are saying

891
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: there could be eight, possibly nine tackles, Wow, taken in

892
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 1: the first round. I've never heard anything like that, Paully.

893
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: But the point is there's a lot of talent that

894
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: is out there. I could see it at number twenty seven,

895
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Arizona Cardinals possibly doing something at number

896
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven to improve that offensive line, maybe even thirty

897
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: five with Graham Barton. Okay, the interior offensive lineman out

898
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: of Duke. I love this kid. He's a brawler, fight

899
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: you to the ground with blood under his nails. That's

900
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: exactly what we need. A stout interior offensive lineman that

901
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: will keep the pocket, the integrity of that pocket for

902
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray behind him.

903
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 6: So you're saying maybe just maybe a Marvin Harrison junior

904
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 6: at four and then still get the offensive lineman exactly seven. Yes, Paully,

905
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 6: he goes, and I know you're all head over heels

906
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 6: over Marvin Harrison junior. I get it, But this GM,

907
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 6: I'm still convinced his building from the inside out.

908
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that, Polly, except when it

909
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: comes to a generational player that's six ' four a

910
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: tree running in the secondary. Look, Kyler, it's a tree

911
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 1: running in the secondary. Throw him the ball.

912
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 6: And the other thing I'll throw out there too is

913
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 6: you know, we never saw John Gaines this year out

914
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 6: of UCLA. It's good and he was faring really well.

915
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 6: So he had that season ny knee injury in August

916
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 6: and Yelda Frohold really held it down at center.

917
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: Did a great job. Yelda is going to be back.

918
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 6: So maybe they do go tackle, Maybe they do go

919
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 6: guard whereas before they might have thought center. But maybe

920
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 6: they're better off than we all figured in that one. Hey, special,

921
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 6: thanks Audrey Denson, Cardinals running backs coach. That was outstanding,

922
