22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 4: a quarterback out there on the football field outside for

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: maybe an assistant coach or two.

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 5: I don't know about throwing it, but I can definitely

25

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,280

00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: close and personal rob Again, you're not getting.

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 7: The full football.

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: Experience, but it is a chance for these players, specifically

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: to get their feet wet in the NFL and kind

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: of get to know what life is ahead of them

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: once the veterans join them for or a the off

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: season program.

41
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 8: I mean, they don't know what they don't know. There's

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 8: so much out there, and not just on the football field.

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 8: Right They got to figure out where they go to

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 8: live now. They got to figure out how to buy

45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 8: a car, some of them. I mean when I was

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 8: a rookie, I didn't even know how to buy a car. Okay,

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 8: I didn't know where I was gonna live. I think

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 8: now they have people that will help them, kind of

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 8: guide them along, kind of be a concierge for him.

50
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 8: But you know, there's a lot of things behind the

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 8: scenes that these players are going to have to deal

52
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 8: with and just to get to a position where they

53
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 8: can solely focus on the football.

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 4: Was there not a rookie orientation for you guys. So

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 4: that's that's something that's somewhat new as far as to

56
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 4: your point, it's not just the football exis it knows,

57
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 4: but everything else.

58
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 8: The rookie orientation was every Friday, here's our breakfast order.

59
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 8: You bring it and have it here by seven am.

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 8: Don't be late. That was that was rookie orientation.

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 5: I mean, Craig, if you go back to I vividly

62
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: remember this doctor Harry Edwards, you can look them up right,

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 5: and he was integral in trying to bring in some

64
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 5: of the player and doctrination type you know programs and

65
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: how every single team has that department where they work

66
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: with players, because he'd bringing guys in when he work

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 5: with teams in the Bay Area, NBA and NFL, and

68
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: he would ask the kids who would come in the

69
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: draft picks, so is your agent getting three percent of

70
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 5: the net or the gross? And they didn't know. So

71
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 5: there were too many players, especially first round picks, with

72
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 5: big money signing checks, getting taken advantage of. Especially they'd

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 5: go to buy a car. Do you think the car

74
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 5: dealers knew that you were first round pick?

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: Coming in?

76
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: You were paying top dollar every time. So now teams

77
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 5: have you know, partners and other corporate entities that actually

78
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 5: assist in the assimilation of rookies to professional life.

79
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: See Roberts just you were born a little bit too soon.

80
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 8: That's all right.

81
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: Well, the headline of this twenty twenty four Arizona Cardinals

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: draft class wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior, selected fourth overall.

83
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: He'll be the main attraction, if you will, beginning on

84
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: Friday when the rookies first take the football field. Before

85
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: we talk about Marvin, how about we hear from general

86
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: manager Monty Austin Ford on the day past podcast when

87
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: MANI knew that Harrison was their guy, The.

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 7: Day that Marvin walked out of my office when he

89
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 7: came to visit on his thirty visit. That was the

90
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 7: day where in my head I had absolutely zero reservations

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 7: about picking him at number four. I felt confident in

92
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 7: Marvin as a player, I felt confident in Marvin as

93
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 7: a person, and so, you know, felt really good about

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 7: Marvin being our guy at number four. And then it

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 7: was just, hey, let's just wait and let the process

96
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 7: play out and see if anything comes up. But really,

97
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 7: nothing ever came close to getting us to move off

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 7: the pick, and we were excited to pull Marvin's name

99
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 7: off at number four. There.

100
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: So, Paul, all those scenarios that we talked about for

101
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 4: three months about moving down from four, trading out of

102
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: the fourth overall selection for a bounty of draft picks

103
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 4: does not sound like the general manager gave that much

104
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: thought at all.

105
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 5: It sounds also like the whole let there be a

106
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 5: fourth QB. I don't know who came up well that.

107
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: Although there was a JJ McCarthy right high draft pick there,

108
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 5: it seems like the team's below number three didn't really

109
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 5: view him as worthy of four, because there were several

110
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 5: reports in New England was offered by more than one

111
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 5: team three first round picks or the equivalent thereof, And

112
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: from what we can deduce Cardinals were not offered as much,

113
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: so JJ McCarthy did not result in that draft hall

114
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 5: that you might have thought, combined with the fact the

115
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 5: look supreme quality always exceeds quantity, and so if you

116
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 5: have a guy who can be a franchise changing player

117
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: for the next decade, if you view him akin to

118
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 5: a Larry Fitzgerald potential Hall of Famer, and there's no

119
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 5: reason to think he doesn't have that sort of upside,

120
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: then guess what you stick and pick.

121
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: So much to like about the selection of Marvin Harrison junior,

122
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 4: Robb You look at the measurable six ' three two

123
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: a nine, the lineage son of a Hall of Fame

124
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: wide receiver, and then the accomplishments at Ohio State, two

125
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: time first team AP All American, two time Big twelve,

126
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 4: Big Ten, excuse me, Receiver of the Year, and oh yeah,

127
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: this past season the Bulletnikoff Award winner, which went to

128
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: the nation's best wide receiver.

129
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 8: Probably the most NFL ready wide receiver in this draft class.

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 8: You look at Marvin Harrison Junior and just look at

131
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 8: his last name, right, Harrison. Okay, here's a kid that

132
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 8: has grown up with pressure, pressure and living up to

133
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 8: that name. So I don't I don't think him coming

134
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 8: in here is going to be a big step for

135
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 8: him in terms of, ah, he's got to live up

136
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 8: to you know what, Larry Fitzgerald. He could be the

137
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 8: next Larry Fitzgerald. That's no pressure for this guy. He's

138
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 8: he's lived with that his entire life. So to think that,

139
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 8: you know, can he average six receptions ninety yards a game?

140
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 8: That seems so easy? And then and then you you know,

141
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 8: you kind of do the math out on that, and

142
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 8: that's so it's one hundred receptions a hundred fifteen hundred yards.

143
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 8: He's a that's a prop Those are prop numbers. I

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 8: mean that that seems like something he can get in

145
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 8: the first half of games. You know. I just think

146
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 8: he has that type of potential and he's this is

147
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 8: what exactly what the Arizona Cardinals needed offensively.

148
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 5: There's a story this morning at NFL dot Com ten

149
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 5: rookies ready and poised to make an instant impact. I

150
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: saw that there were two receivers on there not named

151
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison, Junior Roma Dunze who's in the same receiver

152
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 5: room with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. And then you

153
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 5: have Brian Thomas Junior with Jacksonville. Okay, if you want

154
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 5: to put them on the list, you better put Marvin

155
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 5: Harrison Junior on the list when he has a healthy

156
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray and he's wide receiver one from the get go.

157
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 8: From the get go, I mean, it's a it's a

158
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 8: wide open runway for him in terms of just targets

159
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 8: what he's going what he's going to get, expect expecting wise,

160
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 8: in terms of what he can expect in terms of receptions.

161
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 8: I mean, the runway is wide open for Marvin Harrison Junior.

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: And the key that you brought up, Paul, is who's

163
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: throwing him the football? Kyler Murray with a full offseason,

164
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: not having to worry about rehab and really get to

165
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: work with these receivers. Were already seen him out on

166
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: several social media posts working out at local high schools

167
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: with the receivers Michael Wilson and Trey McBride. Soon he'll

168
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: have Marvin Harrison Junior out there as well. But yeah,

169
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: there's no question that not only is MHJA NFL ready,

170
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: but he is in a great place to be NFL

171
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 4: ready Week one and beyond.

172
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 5: I don't think it's out of line to cite twenty

173
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 5: twenty Justin Jefferson fourteen hundred yards receiving as a rookie

174
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one Jamar Chase over fourteen hundred yards receiving

175
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 5: as a rookie and your offensive Rookie of the year.

176
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: That's possible.

177
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 5: That's the sort of potential that Marvin Harrison Junior has

178
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 5: with Kyler Murray, considering his background, his ability to compete

179
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 5: the fact that he entered Ohio State and he had

180
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 5: three first round draft picks in the same room he

181
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 5: had to compete with.

182
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: You heard him talk.

183
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: About that, and we had him here in this studio.

184
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 5: They used to have a board and there was Chris

185
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 5: Olbby and Garrett Wilson and Jamison Williams and Jackson Smith

186
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 5: and Jigma and Marvin Harrison Junior. Let that hang in

187
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: the air for a moment and that was the board,

188
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: and they would track catches and targets and drops and

189
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 5: you had to compete. So no wonder when he got

190
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 5: his first start as a true freshman in the Rose

191
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 5: Bowl he had three touchdown catches.

192
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 4: You think the wide receivers that have come out of

193
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: Ohio State going back to Chris Carter and Marvin Harrison

194
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: Junior was the first to have back to back one

195
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: thousand receiving yard seasons, So yes, he is definitely productive.

196
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: More on the selection of Marvin Harrison Junior with that

197
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: fourth overall pick, and more from the general manager, Manny

198
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: Austin Ford.

199
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 7: One thing that's really unique about Marvin, and it's not

200
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 7: surprising based on where he's come from and his dad

201
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 7: and seeing his dad, but just the plan that Marvin

202
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 7: has and the plan that Marvin has had since high

203
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 7: school and he carried that into college and I know

204
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 7: he's going to carry it this week when he comes

205
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 7: in here for the first time on Thursday. Just the

206
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 7: plan on how to get better and the way he

207
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 7: takes care of his body, have the prehab, the plan

208
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 7: he has for catching extra balls on the jugs machine.

209
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 7: Marvin's a very talented individual, but Marvin doesn't rest on

210
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 7: his talent like he is. He's pushing himself. He's he's

211
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 7: working to get better. He wants to be great.

212
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: And just how about the plan that Marvin had in

213
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: the pre draft process. He focused on football activities, resting

214
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,359
Speaker 4: his body and not working out and preparing for the combine.

215
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 4: So I think, Rob, you've got a rookie that's coming

216
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: in pretty fresh compared to everyone else in his draft class.

217
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think many teams needed to see him

218
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 8: run a forty or you know, can you catch let's

219
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 8: let's throw the ball around. I don't I don't think

220
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 8: that was really necessary. Just turn on the tape. Marvin

221
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 8: Harrison jumps off the tape. So that was a smart

222
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 8: move by him. You know, there's no need to do

223
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 8: those things. You're not you're not trying to impress anyone

224
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 8: in terms of, Wow, he really will come in and

225
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 8: work out for us. He didn't need to, didn't need to,

226
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 8: and you know, the draft just kind of how I thought, Paul,

227
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 8: your mock draft.

228
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: Is that what you're saying? Oh okay, Yeah, you did

229
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: remind me more than once that Cardinals we're going to

230
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 5: stay at four and take Marvin Harrison junior. So okay,

231
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 5: all right, So next question, what's going to be his

232
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 5: biggest adjustment? Thanks for asking, Rob, because I asked that

233
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: question of Michael Wilson out on the stage of the

234
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 5: draft party. He just went through this transition from the

235
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 5: rookie you know, a rookie year and he said, and

236
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 5: he gave a demonstration to the whole crowd, and he

237
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 5: stepped about five feet away from me, and he said,

238
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 5: this was your separation in college. This is going to

239
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 5: be the separation in the NFL. And all of a

240
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 5: sudden he got right in my kitchen, right and he

241
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: crowded me. He said, that's the biggest difference. Every single

242
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: corner is going to crowd you, is going to keep

243
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 5: up with you. That's just the way it is in

244
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 5: the NFL. Thou shalt make the contested catch or you're

245
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: going to go hungry. You're not going to be very

246
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: viable in the NFL. So that's something of Marvin Harrison

247
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 5: Junior obviously is capable of. But considering his size and

248
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 5: his speed and his ability to run routes, he created

249
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 5: a lot of separation in college.

250
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 4: And I do think you're going to see a lot

251
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: of those footballs get on him a lot quicker than

252
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: they reached him in college. Because you're running a route,

253
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: that ball is already in the air. You turn around

254
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: and there it is. You better be ready again. Not

255
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 4: that he can't do it, that's just what he's in

256
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: for beginning this weekend.

257
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: Well, and to his benefit. He has his starting quarterback

258
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 5: in the off season to get that chemistry down something

259
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 5: for example, Michael Wilson did not this time last year.

260
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 4: Bird Gang, you want to be among the first to

Speaker 4: see on that is it Asycardinals dot com forward slash

266
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: first to buy for more information, that's Azycardinals dot Com

267
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: forward slash first to buy. Well, the first of two

268
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: first round draft picks was Marvin Harrison Junior. How about

269
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 4: the second one, Darius Robinson. He's next on the Arizona

270
00:12:53,840 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 4: Cardinals radio network, Zuri brings pressure here.

271
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 9: They throw Larry down, Larry Darius Robinson Prattler on third

272
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 9: and six, pockets collapsing, so as hey, it's Darius Robinson.

273
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: They gets home.

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 9: Right off the bat. The guy's got a motor like you.

275
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 9: Notice how active he is. He's basically played every alignment

276
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 9: you could play on the defensive line, and this year

277
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 9: he stood up more, which is something that only adds

278
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 9: to his value. We see him more probably with his

279
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 9: hand in the dirt as a defensive lineman, but a

280
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 9: guy in certain packages you can put him into two

281
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 9: point stance and he can still get the job done.

282
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 9: Extremely impressive physical profile on the guy.

283
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: He's big, he's long, he's athletics.

284
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 9: So he should be a very versatile tool for JG.

285
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, versatility of the key for a lot of these

286
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 4: draft picks, but maybe no one more than Darius Robinson

287
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 4: twenty seventh overall second Cardinals pick in the opening round.

288
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: As we say, welcome back, it is the Cardinals red

289
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: seat report, Greg Greyolupaul Calvic, and Rob Fergerson. You also

290
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 4: heard there the voice of assistant general manager Dave Sears

291
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: talking about Robinson, and that was a conversation Paul you

292
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: had with Dave on the big Red Rage and just

293
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: the number of different ways we see Darius line up,

294
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: stand up, hand in the dirt, outside, inside, over the center.

295
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: I think you might see him in a number of

296
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: different ways just to kind of see what he does best.

297
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 5: And he still has the ability to put on wade.

298
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 5: He's six five, two eighty five, still somewhat lean. He

299
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: could easily get up to three hundred pounds. We understand

300
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: a guy who started on the inside over the nose

301
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 5: early in his career ended up as an edge guy,

302
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: excelled at all the above. He was First team All

303
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: SEC last year as an outside guy getting to the quarterbacks.

304
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: So he obviously has the athleticism. He's gonna be in

305
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 5: the d line room though, to start, and then we'll

306
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 5: see from there. We know what Nick rollis and jg

307
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: are capable of. I mean, think about last year, how

308
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 5: often when the Cardinals defense was able to get the

309
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 5: opponent into third no obvious passing situations. What do we

310
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: call it. By the end of the year, we're calling

311
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 5: it an eleven card pickup because you had no idea.

312
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: Guys are just wandering around the line of scrimmage in

313
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 5: the trenches like wait a minute. And as you talk

314
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 5: to some of these guys, they had an assignment, there's

315
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 5: no doubt about it. But the offensive line didn't know

316
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 5: exactly who was where and where they were going. And

317
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: Darius Robinson, I would imagine, is going to be a

318
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 5: key part of that scheme this season.

319
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: You sit there and see guys hovering around the line

320
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 4: of scrimt standing up maybe one down lineman maybe two,

321
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: maybe none, and all of a sudden, as an offensive lineman,

322
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: you have no idea who's coming at you and who

323
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 4: might not be maybe dropping back instead.

324
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, it could be a bit confusing for offensive linemen.

325
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 8: You know, the good lines will let the guys kind

326
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 8: of figure it out, they'll retreat and let the defensive

327
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 8: linemen kind of figure out where they're gonna come. But

328
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 8: for young offensive linemen it can be confusing. It can

329
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 8: create some chaos there, and that's the whole intent of

330
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 8: it as a defense is to create some chaos, create

331
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 8: some uncertainty, and that's when you get some of those.

332
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: Easy Robinson a fifth year senior, so to your point,

333
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: Paul a year ago to eighty five, but as a

334
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: senior two ninety six, started his career at Missouri as

335
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: a freshman. He waited two fifty so he's able to

336
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: put on and lose weight. It's just a matter of

337
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: what do the Cardinals want him. Initially, if you're two

338
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: eighty five, you seem to be more of the LJ.

339
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: Collier type, where you're maybe outside a little bit more

340
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: as opposed to inside, next to a Justin Jones or

341
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: a ballall Nichols and think about it.

342
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: He didn't play football till his junior year of high school.

343
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 5: He was a basketball guy. So he has the full work,

344
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 5: he has the athleticism, but he's still getting his NFL body,

345
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 5: you know, in the works, and so you got to

346
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 5: figure there's still upside there as far as that goes.

347
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: And then just to hear him use the words obsessed

348
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 5: with football, his words, and for him to say it repeatedly.

349
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 5: And then as Nick Rollis joked, how many guys in

350
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 5: the draft stage talk about their hand placement. So he

351
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 5: calls himself a technician, and based on everything he says,

352
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 5: he's not kidding, that's not lip service. This dude watches

353
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 5: a lot of film. And so when you combine the

354
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 5: talent with the preparation, you understand why he was first

355
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: team All SEC at Missouri.

356
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 4: And he went into great detail on his preparation the

357
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 4: night he was drafted. It was a lengthy answer, better

358
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 4: than two minutes. As far as literally day by day,

359
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: what it took for him to get ready for Saturday.

360
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: You have that coming in, Rob, You're already ahead of

361
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 4: the game as far as now, what you needed to

362
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 4: do to get ready for Sundays.

363
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think there's no question about Darius Robinson's motor,

364
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 8: there's no question about his desire and his love for

365
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 8: the game of football. There were some question marks about

366
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 8: you know, you talk about his athleticism, Paul, and yeah,

367
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 8: he was a basketball player, but there's such a thing

368
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 8: as a football athleticism. And maybe the hips might be

369
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 8: a little tight, maybe he doesn't have that secondary move

370
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 8: with the first move is not successful. But these are

371
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 8: all coachable things. These are things that you know, when

372
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 8: he spends some time this offseason and throughout training camp,

373
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 8: he's going to get coached up. These are things that

374
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 8: he's going to develop over time, and some of these

375
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 8: things take years. But this draft pick, think about it,

376
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 8: at the end of the first round. There was such

377
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 8: a run on offensive players at the top of the

378
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 8: first round, and you get a guy like Darius Robinson,

379
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 8: who's probably a middle first round talent wise in terms

380
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 8: of just overall NFL ranking in terms of talent, and

381
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 8: you get him at the end of the first round.

382
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 8: That's a steal.

383
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

384
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 5: He was the second interior defensive lineman drafted all the

385
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 5: way at twenty seven. As Byron Murphy went to Seattle

386
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 5: at sixteen and then he comes off the board, and

387
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 5: you're right, Rob, that was one negative, or that was

388
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 5: in his scout report. The other one I saw in

389
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 5: a couple of them was all right, could he possibly

390
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 5: be a tweener in that? Is he not athletic and

391
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 5: fast enough to play off the edge? Is he powerful

392
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 5: enough to stay inside with his hand in the dirt?

393
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 5: So we'll see he's aware of that. He's aware of that,

394
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 5: and he seems like a mighty motivated type of dude

395
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: who who's already made a lot of people look stupid

396
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 5: when he went to Missouri and excelled against the best

397
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 5: competition there is in college.

398
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: Football and excelled very well at the Senior Bowl as well.

399
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: Voted the overall practice player of the week the one

400
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 4: on one drills, including against Tyler Geyton, who the Cowboys

401
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: selected with the twenty ninth overall pick that made the

402
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: rounds as far as some of those videos that got

403
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: posted on social media that week. So yeah, Cardinals are

404
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: getting someone who is athletic, just don't quite know where

405
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 4: exactly he'll play or maybe multiple positions along that defensive

406
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 4: line though. What impressed Manti ausen Ford as he detailed

407
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: on the Day Patch podcast this week was Robinson's maturity.

408
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 7: The day that he got here for his press conference

409
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 7: and when he sat in front of that group, and

410
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 7: really just the way he conveyed his thoughts and this

411
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 7: the maturity and what he's done with his nil money

412
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 7: and setting up his foundation. I mean, I think we

413
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 7: all kind of looked around and we're like, holy moly,

414
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 7: we gotta we can learn something from this guy. You know,

415
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 7: Like so just an impressive kid all the way around,

416
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 7: just a guy that you know, obviously we're excited to

417
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 7: add his talent on the field, but just excited to

418
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 7: add the makeup and the leadership that we think he

419
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 7: will eventually be able to grow into here off the

420
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 7: field as well.

421
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: And Craig, you mentioned the Senior Bowl. He was voted

422
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 5: the overall practice player of the week at the Senior Bowl.

423
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 5: And when we asked him, all right, what's something about

424
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: your scout to report all these analysts and these guys

425
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 5: these evaluations that irked you a little bit? He said,

426
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 5: you know what, when everyone made a big deal about

427
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: my practice week at the Senior Bowl, it's not like

428
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: that was some sort of one off or I came

429
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: out of nowhere. That's me every week, said Darius Robinson.

430
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 5: So we took a little bit issue with that.

431
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 4: So Cardinals went defense with their second of their two

432
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 4: first round picks. And then we get to Day two,

433
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 4: second round, and the Cardinals once again go defense, thirty

434
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 4: fifth overall. In fact, they have a trade with the

435
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 4: Atlanta Falcons, moving from thirty five to forty three, also

436
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 4: picking up an extra third round pick, which turned out

437
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: to be Illinois tied end Tip Ryman. But the Cardinals

438
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 4: liked Max Meltin even at thirty five. Is general managermani

439
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 4: Austin for.

440
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 7: We felt really good about Max. He would have been

441
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 7: a guy we were comfortable taking at thirty five. And

442
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 7: so that's one of those occasions where, hey, we were

443
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 7: able to drop back and recoup a great third round

444
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 7: pick there in the middle of the third round at

445
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 7: seventy nine and still get Max at pick forty three.

446
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 7: And so, you know, I think the thing that stands

447
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 7: out about Max is, you know, his his athletic ability,

448
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 7: his movement. You know, he runs easy, he's fast, and

449
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 7: it doesn't look like he's ever straining. He's an instinctive player.

450
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 7: He's got quickness, he can cover up guys on the perimeter.

451
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 7: He's also got experience playing inside. He plays the ball

452
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 7: well and he'll tackle, which is something that you don't

453
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 7: typically see.

454
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 4: The sixth fastest forty time among cornerbacks at the scouting

455
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: combine and you look at Max Melton five to eleven,

456
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: one eighty seven. But again, that versatility rob that this

457
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: Cardinals defense values the ability to play outside in a pinch,

458
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 4: maybe inside, or just try to figure out how to

459
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 4: get your best defensive backs on the field overall.

460
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I would argue more so than forty yard time,

461
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 8: would argue that quickness and maybe the short shuttle times

462
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 8: and just that change of direction is more important for

463
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 8: the cornerback position. And you watch film of Max Melton

464
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 8: and watch what he what he was able to do

465
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 8: against Marvin Harrison junior at Ohio State when Max was

466
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 8: at Rutgers, and just the way and the fluidity of

467
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 8: his hips and the way he was able to stay

468
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 8: with Marvin Harrison. To me that that's indicative of a

469
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 8: guy that will have an easy or easier transition to

470
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 8: the NFL game.

471
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 5: And you better have some mental fortitude if you're gonna

472
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: play corner. So to have him meet the media on

473
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 5: his conference call right after he was selected, in him

474
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 5: say and I quote, I'm a lockdown corner. I can

475
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 5: lock down anybody.

476
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 4: All Right.

477
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 5: There's gonna be some learning moments as a rookie, there's

478
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 5: no doubt about it. But you better have that confidence.

479
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 5: You better have that belief in your own skill set

480
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: because it can be mighty lonely out on the corner,

481
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 5: especially when you give up the chunk throw.

482
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: Well, not only was Marvin Harrison Junior impressed in those

483
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 4: matchups against Melton, it was MHJ who posted after Melton

484
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: was a selection quote always respected his game end quote.

485
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 4: Now they're teammates on the ESPN broadcast. Nick Saban, I

486
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 4: think he knows something about college football. Rob quote, this

487
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 4: is my sleeper corner in the whole draft. So there

488
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: is an expectation already attached to a second round pick,

489
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: but it is a position. Going back to focus on

490
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 4: the defense. Cardinals need cornerbacks and whether that's a starting

491
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 4: outside or someone inside. I expect Melton to be there

492
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 4: week one.

493
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 8: I expect him to be a starter. And Nick Saban

494
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 8: started out as a cornerback coach. That's that's in his DNA.

495
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 8: He's a he's a cornerback coach and at heart and

496
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 8: he knows talent when he sees it. And for him

497
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 8: to say that about Max Melton, that that says a lot.

498
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 8: And you know, so I think I think the future

499
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 8: is bright for him. I like the pick, and the

500
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 8: Cardinals were able to move down and gain some more

501
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 8: draft equity and and still get him where they did,

502
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 8: so I you know, I think it makes sense. And

503
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 8: you know, it's to go against Marvin Harrison Junior every

504
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 8: day in practice, every day in rookie mini camp, even

505
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 8: though there's no pads, but you know, you're still moving,

506
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 8: you're still you're still touching each other, getting getting hands

507
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 8: on each other. You know, that's that's just gonna be great.

508
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 8: That's gonna lift the lift the boat for both the guys,

509
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 8: and it's really gonna be beneficial for them.

510
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't tell much about the line of scrimmage,

511
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: right o, Liman d Linman and a rookie mini camp

512
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 5: where there's no full contact, but if you're a corner

513
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 5: and you're getting torched repeatedly, that that is telling at times.

514
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 5: So you're right, we'll be able to ascertain at least

515
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 5: a little bit. But to hear Dave Sears, the assistant

516
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 5: GM on the Big Red Rage, talk about his athleticism.

517
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 5: To Rob's point, to have the combination of sub four

518
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 5: four to jump over forty in the vertical, and have

519
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 5: more than eleven feet on your broad jump, that's rare.

520
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 5: You get all three of those. And if you look

521
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 5: at a lot of the sky reports, they say he

522
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 5: has a quote frenetic playing style, So he's quick twitch,

523
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 5: like Rob was talking about. Just very curious to see

524
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 5: what he looks like out on the field.

525
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 4: Always around the football. Twice he led Rutgers in interception.

526
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 4: So the Cardinals are getting someone that can take the

527
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 4: football away. Paul, you bet up. You brought up Dave Sears.

528
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 4: Let's hear more from the Cardinals assistant general manager on

529
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: the Big Red Rage and talking about the conviction the

530
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 4: Cardinals had not only in Max Moultain, but all twelve

531
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 4: of their draft picks.

532
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 9: I think it means that you feel like you've nailed

533
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 9: the value of the player and you believe in it.

534
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 9: So when you take this guy wherever you take him,

535
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 9: everybody is on board with what the role is, what

536
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 9: kind of a kid. He is first of all, you

537
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 9: know JG's criteria for the kind of people we bring

538
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 9: in here. He sets the tone for that. He's the

539
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 9: driver of the organization. So when we're all on board

540
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 9: with yes, this guy fits what we want in this building,

541
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 9: then we're convicted. And then we just have to get

542
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 9: the value right in terms of the talent.

543
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 4: And those are conversations that Dave mentioned are happening before

544
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: the draft happens, so you don't have those arguments or

545
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 4: that hesitation when you're on the clock. You've already vetted

546
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: those conversations and know that, Okay, if this happens, this

547
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 4: is what we're going to do. So there is no hesitation.

548
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 4: You just make the selection.

549
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 5: And it's a combination of all the meetings, right, especially

550
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 5: the higher draft picks. When you get the combine meeting,

551
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 5: and then maybe you go to campus and you have

552
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 5: a zoom and then a thirty visit and you try

553
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 5: and ascertain, Okay, what is the person all about and

554
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: does it a match what the Cardinals are looking for.

555
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: And I think if you take a look at last

556
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 5: year's draft class, in this year's draft class, they're doing

557
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 5: their best to find guys who truly love ball, as

558
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 5: Drew Petsing told the media, you know, football is a

559
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 5: really physical game and at times you might hate the

560
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 5: game of football just because of what it does to

561
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 5: you physically. So you better have that inherent love and

562
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 5: joy of playing and it better be more than just

563
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 5: a profession to you. That's what they're looking for. And

564
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 5: a lot of these players you.

565
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: Wake up Monday morning, you wake up Tuesday morning, the

566
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: struggle to get out of bed, but you get out

567
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 4: of bed because you love the game. You have a

568
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 4: passion for the sport.

569
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 8: Well, you get out of bed for a variety of reasons,

570
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 8: but yes, absolutely, yeah, you love football. And look the Cardinals,

571
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 8: that's part of this culture. They want guys that love

572
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 8: football and want them be here.

573
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 4: We'll see a lot of these draft picks this weekend.

574
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: In fact, all twelve will be here for rookie Minicamp

575
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: beginning on Friday. Hope to hear from some of them

576
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 4: as well, beginning on Thursday when they arrive in the building.

577
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 4: Berg Gang learned more about the Arizona Cardinals season tickets,

00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 4: Cardinals radio network.

583
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: Here we have some Murray magic here. The Cardinals will

584
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 3: need it. Snap to Murray short, sent looks left, throws left.

585
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: Carter caught it at the five, turns left, breaks a tackle.

586
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: Into the end zone for the touchdown.

587
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 3: Snap to Murray three step drop, looking, steps up, spins

588
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 3: away from sweat. Now back's up near his twenty floats

589
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: at left side into the end zone. One head and

590
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: catch for a touchdown by James Connor.

591
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: What a grab by Connor.

592
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: And what a throw by a pack peddling Kyler Murray

593
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: escaping pressure. Snap to Murray, Flit's coming, Murray backing up,

594
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 3: floats into the end zone. Middle of the end zone,

595
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: pulled in by Wilson for a touchdown. What a throw

596
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 3: by Kyler Murray facing pressure. Murray has been brilliant here

597
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 3: in the second half. His third touchdown pass the Kyler

598
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: Murray that we saw two years ago when the Cardinals

599
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: started seven to zero and ten and two has arrived

600
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 3: today in Philadelphia.

601
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: Third touchdown, pass and a half.

602
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: It was the last day calendar, last day of twenty

603
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 4: twenty three, December thirty first in Philadelphia. The Cardinals could

604
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 4: do nothing in the first half. Second half. Different story

605
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: is Dave Pash detailed right there and Kyler Murray helped

606
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 4: lead the Cardinals past Jonathan Gannon's former team thirty five

607
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 4: thirty one. As we walk me back here to the

608
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 4: Cardinals red to report Craig Greialou, Paul Calvici, and Rob Frederickson. Paul,

609
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: you were on the sideline watched what happened in that

610
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 4: second half, from the miscommunication with Michael Wilson that ended

611
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: up in a pick six, to the rebound and ultimately

612
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: the win walking off the field with the w Yeah.

613
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 5: The game started and Eagles fans thought they were gonna,

614
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 5: you know, let their former defensive coordinator here at Jonathan Gannon.

615
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 5: But then they soon realized they had much bigger problems

616
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 5: and by the time halftime hit and then the end

617
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 5: of the game in particular, they were unloading on their

618
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: head coach Nick Sirianni and the rest of the team.

619
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 5: And a big reason why was Kyler Murray reverting to

620
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 5: his Pro Bowl form, and I think it was during

621
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 5: the second half of that game where you realized, Okay,

622
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 5: he's finally truly comfortable in this offense. And myself included,

623
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 5: I don't think we give Kyler enough credit for their

624
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 5: degree of difficulty jumping into an NFL regular season, mid season,

625
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: no camp, in a brand new offense, radick different than

626
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 5: anything he'd ever run in his life, to be under center,

627
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 5: the amount of time he was compared to leading the

628
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 5: NFL in the shotgun percentage like he'd done his previous

629
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 5: four years. And then finally in the second of that

630
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 5: half of that game, I think we all agree it

631
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 5: just looked natural. He was playing and not thinking, and

632
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 5: then we started thinking, Okay, what's possible once you start

633
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 5: getting him some weapons and everybody's healthy, and now that

634
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 5: they've dialed in this offense.

635
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: An eight game sample size, Cardinals go three and five

636
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: very easily could have gone five hundred, if not for

637
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 4: a couple of missed field goals by Matt Prater in

638
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 4: that season finale against the Seahawks. But rob you think

639
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 4: about the teams that Kyler did beat the Eagles, the

640
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: Steelers on the road, and realizing and understanding that he

641
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: doesn't have to do it all by himself. That might

642
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 4: have been the biggest lesson that I took away from

643
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 4: last year, because I do think the first four years

644
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: of his career everything was on his shoulders. He has

645
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 4: talents around him, and it's trusting that talent to be

646
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: able to move the football, get into the end zone,

647
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: score points, and ultimately come away with the win. And

648
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 4: I think beating the Steelers and Eagles on the road

649
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 4: are signs of that.

650
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, there was you know, that was last year, but

651
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 8: they've certainly added to the talent around him, the pieces

652
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 8: around him through the draft and free agency. And you

653
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 8: look at Marvin Harrison just the talent that he brings

654
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 8: is gonna bring to the offense this year and what

655
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 8: that means for Kyler. I don't think it's a hot

656
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 8: take to say that I think there's some pressure on

657
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 8: Kyler this year. You know, I think the elements are

658
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 8: in place offensively for him to have a very successful season.

659
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 8: What do I mean by successful? I think that means,

660
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 8: you know, putting this team in a position to be

661
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 8: looking at potential playoff implications later in the year. And

662
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 8: you know, I think all the elements are there Offensively. Defensively,

663
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 8: there's you know, there's some things that we can talk about,

664
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 8: but offensively the pieces. You look at Trey McBride, what

665
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 8: he's able to do, and now we got depth at

666
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 8: running back and the wide receiver room is solidified.

667
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a pressure on.

668
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 8: Kyler or not. And you know what, I think he

669
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 8: likes that, and I think he's ready for it. He's matured,

670
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 8: and I think he's in a position where he's like,

671
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 8: come on, bring it, Let's do this.

672
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 4: Play meaningful football in November and December. Set yourself up

673
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 4: to be a playoff team here in twenty twenty four.

674
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 4: It will be year one, a full year knock on

675
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 4: wood for Kyler Murray within this offense, with this coaching staff.

676
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 4: And it goes back to the rehab process, getting his

677
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 4: feet wet. To your point, Paul, not having a lot

678
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 4: of reps midweek, it was game week getting those reps.

679
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 4: Different story. Mati austin Ford talked about that recently on

680
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: the Day Patch podcast.

681
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 7: This offseason, he can focus on being a great teammate,

682
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 7: getting himself ready, getting himself more acclimated to the offense,

683
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 7: and So you know, I think that's a really maybe

684
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 7: overlook part of what Kyler did last year, and just

685
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 7: the fact that he was coming off a major, major

686
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 7: knee injury and so just to get himself to where

687
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 7: he was at physically, but then also mentally the challenge

688
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 7: that he had to learn an entirely new offense with

689
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 7: not being able to practice it until November.

690
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: Zero reps with Michael Wilson outside of these three days

691
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: of practice, very little reps with Trey McBride, who didn't

692
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 4: really assume that number one tight end roll until late

693
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden. Yeah, the ten touchdowns, you

694
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: would expect a little bit more with a full seventeen

695
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 4: game season as opposed to the eight that he had.

696
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: But still those eight games a lot of it. The

697
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 4: back half those final three games, Paul, his completion percentage

698
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: was above seventy percent. Yeah, they went one and two,

699
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 4: but they very easily could have gone two to one

700
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: those last three games.

701
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 5: Well, think about it. In the NFL, the difference between

702
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 5: a completion and a pass defense is a matter of inches.

703
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 5: So if you don't have that chemistry, if you don't

704
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: have that precision between quarterback and receiver to hear Drew

705
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 5: Stanton talk about it, it's everything in the offseason. You know,

706
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 5: we tend to think of these rookie mini camps and

707
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 5: it's the glorified soccer and they're in shorts. Well not

708
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 5: for a quarterback and a brand new crew of receivers.

709
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 5: You have to get that precision. You have to be

710
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 5: in sync. You have to know exactly how each guy

711
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 5: runs a certain route, where he likes the football, where

712
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 5: you can get away with throwing that ball in a

713
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 5: certain situation to a certain guy, is he gonna fight

714
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: for the ball or not? Can I get away with

715
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 5: ball placement there? And Kyler had to learn that during

716
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 5: regular season games. It's not like in today's NFL. You're

717
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 5: suiting up and having a full contact, full padded practice

718
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 5: during the regular season. So he was literally learning on

719
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 5: the job, where up until that point he was only

720
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 5: mental reps. So to hear the quarterbacks tell it, yeah,

721
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 5: mental reps are great. You think you know you're going

722
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 5: where you're going with the ball, but then all of

723
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 5: a sudden, when TJ. Watt is bearing down on you,

724
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 5: you better know no. As JG likes to say, And

725
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 5: I think that last month of the season Kyler truly

726
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 5: knew where he was going, and you saw him in

727
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 5: the ability to go through his progressions in season.

728
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 4: Very difficult to find the time to kind of work

729
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 4: on things. That's what the off season is for, especially

730
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 4: for the quarterback. Something offensive coordinator Drew Petsing talked about recently.

731
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 10: It's definitely a lot more fun to coach him in

732
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 10: May than it was getting him in mid November.

733
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: I'm certainly looking forward to that, but.

734
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 10: No, I think to the point, we heard it, so

735
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 10: we get to work on things that maybe we didn't.

736
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 10: You know, when he hit the field, it was like,

737
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 10: all right, here's the game plan. We got to go play.

738
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 10: Now it's hey, are you taking the right drop? Are

739
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 10: your eyes in the right place? Do you feel that

740
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 10: play the way we want it to be felt? You know,

741
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 10: I think all of those conversations can happen now, So

742
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 10: certainly excited about that.

743
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: What do you like, what don't you like? How do

744
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 4: we play to your strengths? Couldn't really have those conversations,

745
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: and really you kind of forced the issue late in

746
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: the season when Kyler has none of those reps. Offseason,

747
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 4: it's a little bit more loose and a little bit

748
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 4: more free flowing of ideas between offensive coordinator and quarterback.

749
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 8: Yeah. I think the later part of last year you

750
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 8: started to see what this offensive identity really is. And

751
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 8: you think about the Cardinals rushing the football at the

752
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 8: tail end of last year, they're tops in the league

753
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 8: in terms of running the football, and then you bring

754
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 8: the play action pass off of that, the design play

755
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 8: action passes, the boots, the waggles, the rollouts that get

756
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 8: Kyler in some space, allow him to, if need be,

757
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 8: uses athletic ability, but to open up the throwing lanes

758
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 8: and to have clear cut decision making for him. I

759
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 8: think this offense, I think the way it was constructed

760
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 8: and the way it was built last season is something

761
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 8: really positive for Kyler. I think it's a great situation

762
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 8: for Kyler to be in going into this year and

763
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 8: with the added with the added elements in terms of

764
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 8: the players through the draft, I think this offense can

765
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 8: be explosive.

766
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, think about it. Yet, over two hundred yards rushing

767
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 5: in three or last four games against the forty nine ers,

768
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 5: against the Eagles, and then against the Seahawks. To Rob's point,

769
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 5: that run game, it was truly kram At vertical at

770
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 5: that point, there's no doubt about it. So is there

771
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 5: any better friend for a quarterback than the threat of

772
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 5: the run. And then when you got the play action going,

773
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 5: when you're running it like that, and then Kyler's under center,

774
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 5: he's got the play action and this is what we

775
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 5: discovered at the end of last season. Okay, he's under center,

776
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 5: but now he's got his back to the defense on

777
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 5: his rollout. But he's got to have that ball on

778
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 5: his hip. He's got to carry out those playfakes. It

779
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 5: was those little things in the play action game that

780
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 5: he perfected that then froze that linebacker for an extra

781
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 5: second that got a Trey McBride open, or an underneath route.

782
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 5: It was all those little things that came together in

783
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 5: the last few games and you saw, to Rob's point,

784
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 5: what it looked like and where this offense is going.

785
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 4: And the moves that this team has made in free

786
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 4: agency in the draft just adds to that. Going back

787
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 4: to Jonah Williams and Evan Brown and all of a

788
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 4: sudden you add in Isaiah Adams as far as a

789
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 4: potential starting left guard Tip Ryman. All focused on the

790
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, and then you gave some help for

791
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: James Connor and he needs a break in. Trey Benson a.

792
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 5: Home run hitter, right, I mean Trey Benson. He can

793
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 5: he can stoke it between the tackles. He can also

794
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 5: finish it with sub four to four speed. And don't

795
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 5: forget talking about the pressure on Kyler. To Rob's point,

796
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: he's also going to be among the top ten highest

797
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 5: paid players in the NFL this year is cap HiT's

798
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 5: going to be fifty million plus. So now he's paid

799
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 5: like a franchise quarterback.

800

805
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: This is the.

806
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals radio network. The Arizona Cardinals and their culture

807
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 4: was on display for all the seat where they came

808
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 4: out and they hammered the ball.

809
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 6: As far as building culture center standard with JG. Monti

810
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 6: and the draft class, you know, they've been great. You

811
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 6: know guys, you know I love football, Ask questions, extra work,

812
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 6: whatever it is. You know, you can tell this's different

813
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 6: and different vibes. So I'm excited to, you know, move

814
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 6: forward and continue to grow with these dudes.

815
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 7: Culture is what we do on a daily basis, and

816
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 7: so for us when we then bring new people into

817
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 7: the building, whether it's coaches or scouts, or players or

818
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 7: equipment people or trainers, whatever it is, they come in

819
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 7: and we don't hand them a pamphlet and says this

820
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 7: is our culture. They come in and they see it.

821
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 4: The team before you is what Jonathan Gannon likes to say.

822
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 4: Are you pitying the team first? And that was pretty

823
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 4: evident a year ago that yes, the culture was set,

824
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 4: and then you heard Kyleer Murray talk about it there

825
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 4: late last season it became the players that held each

826
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 4: other and the rest of the locker room accountable. No

827
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 4: longer it was the coaches or the head coach, but

828
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 4: the players within that locker room and that Robbie hope.

829
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 4: Does the momentum from last season to this season, whether

830
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 4: you believe that or not, does it translate from one

831
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 4: year to the next. Well, culture will. As far as

832
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 4: holding one another accountable to make sure you're in position

833
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 4: to win on game.

834
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 8: Day, I think it will, especially if your quarterback is

835
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 8: is bought in. And every indication is that Kyler Murray

836
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 8: is fully bought into this culture, and this the way

837
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 8: they want to run things, and the way they operate

838
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 8: and holding each other accountable, holding yourselves accountable, and and

839
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 8: Kyler is is really the way this team will go.

840
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 8: Everybody follows the quarterback. The quarterback is a de facto

841
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 8: leader of every team. And and Kyler, you know, I

842
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 8: think it's fair to say early in his career kind

843
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 8: of shied away from that or didn't didn't really like that,

844
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 8: and and it didn't fit him. And now he seems

845
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 8: more comfortable in his own skin. He seems more comfortable

846
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 8: in that role of being the leader, being the really

847
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 8: the the beacon that everybody looks to and they take

848
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 8: their marching orders off of him. And so, you know,

849
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 8: the culture last year was great. And for the first time,

850
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 8: you know, when things haven't been going well for the

851
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 8: Cardinals at Cardinals Stadium, I never once saw the fans

852
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 8: boo because they knew that these players had bought in

853
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 8: and they knew these players are given everything that they had,

854
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 8: and that to me is something that resonates into something

855
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 8: that you can build on.

856
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 5: You know, if you had zoom out, it really was

857
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 5: less than a year and a half ago where massive

858
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 5: change was enacted by ownership. It seems like a decade ago,

859
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 5: but it was less than sixteen months ago where Michael

860
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 5: Bidwell stood up and said, you know what, we've got

861
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 5: to address accountability. A new head coach was hired, new

862
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 5: GM was hired, a new culture was installed. And if

863
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 5: you look at the pattern in player acquisition and separating

864
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 5: from other players, I think you can go back to

865
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 5: those two words all ball. They're looking for guys who

866
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 5: are deadly serious about football and when you can structure

867
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 5: your locker room that way, And then to your point.

868
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 5: On his TV show, multiple times, Jonathan Gannon would talk

869
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 5: about how he would consult with the team captains, James Connor,

870
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 5: Buddha Baker, those guys who have the ultimate respect in

871
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 5: that locker room, and he would confer and convey with them, Okay,

872
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 5: how are things going over? I'm thinking about this, you know,

873
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: and you would get the pulse of the locker room

874
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 5: and you just saw a very effective management. I thought

875
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 5: of the team itself as that one singular sort of heartbeat.

876
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 5: Sounds cheesy, but when you get all those guys pulling

877
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 5: in the same direction, and then by the end of

878
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 5: the year you're able to go into Pittsburgh and Philadelphia

879
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 5: and pull off physical wins. That's the byproduct of that.

880
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 4: The best example of buying is what you're seeing right now,

881
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 4: a full player's parking lot here at the Dignity Health

882
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals Training Center. This is all voluntary. Here we

883
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 4: now are in phase two of the offseason strengthen conditioning program.

884
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 4: Dare I say, I've not done the attendance check, but

885
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 4: when you see every single spot with a car in it,

886
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 4: that says a lot. And to your point, Rob about

887
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 4: out Kyler Murray leading that charge. He's here every day

888
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 4: and I do believe that's by design. He doesn't have

889
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 4: to be here a year ago. He had to be

890
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: here rehab, doesn't have to be here this offseason.

891
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: Yet he is.

892
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 8: He is, And again that's that's so important. Like everybody, uh,

893
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 8: from your backup uh, third string cornerback to the third

894
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 8: string defensive lineman, and they're they're not here, really they're

895
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 8: not going to be here. But but Kyler Murray is

896
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 8: going to be here. You know, you better as a player,

897
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 8: you better, you better be here and and working out

898
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 8: and getting getting to know these guys, especially the newcomers,

899
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 8: getting to know them the rookies, uh, and the and

900
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 8: the free agents, and building that that chemistry that's so vital.

901
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 5: I mean, Rob can agree or disagree. Played for a

902
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 5: decade in the league, but to me, the one true

903
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 5: way to motivate in the NFL is job security. So

904
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 5: at the end of training camp, when all of a sudden,

905
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 5: colet McCoy, they parted ways. They traded Isaiah Simmons. You

906
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 5: saw mid season they cut a third round pick from

907
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 5: the year before four and my j Sanders. They cut

908
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 5: your starting cornerback week one, a guy who started the

909
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 5: first two months of the year in Marco Wilson. They

910
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 5: made some serious, hard decisions. And if you weren't playing

911
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 5: to a certain caliber or holding yourself to a certain level,

912
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 5: then guess what, you're no longer part of the team.

913
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 8: Hey, that first mini camp after the draft, if they

914
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 8: drafted a linebacker, I was always at the front of

915
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 8: the line moving a little faster, Paul moving a little

916
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 8: faster in those drills. You know, if they drafted a linebacker.

917
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 4: Well, what did the Cardinals do in the draft A

918
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 4: couple of wide receivers, three cornerbacks, four total defensive backs added.

919
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, you have to earn it, and the rookies

920
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 4: will begin trying to earn it when they arrive on Friday.

921
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 5: I mean, when there's a dozen draft picks, I'm guessing

922
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: that gets the attention of the veterans because there was

923
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 5: somebody drafted virtually every position.

924
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 4: Group special thanks everyone behind the scenes. Our executive producer

925
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 4: Jim am Hunter, associate producer Cody Fincher, Technical director Matt

926
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 4: Lazareth for Paul Calvic, Rod Frederickson. I'm Craig Realu. We

927
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 4: will talk to you in one week's time after Rookie

928
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 4: Minnie Camp.

929
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: What did we see?

930
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 4: What did we learn from the three days that the

931
