Speaker 2: Here's Paul Calvis.
Speaker 5: I'm ready. I'm one hundred percent ready. I'm telling you
Speaker 5: I'm ready.
Speaker 2: And Ron Wilfley, if it doesn't get any better than that,
Speaker 2: I leash the Fiord.
Speaker 5: We might be the original Thursday Night football, But tis
Speaker 5: the time of the season, Ron Wolfley, where we're not
Speaker 5: the only game in town, the only football on air.
Speaker 5: Let there be NFL action tonight, the Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 5: We've been there and done that Canton, Ohio and early August,
Speaker 5: have we not? In fact, last time we were in
Speaker 5: canad Ohio for the Hall of Fame game. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: name drop here. Are you ready for this? Ron Wolfe? No,
Speaker 5: I'm not balling your nemesis from your entire playing career. Oh,
Speaker 5: I don't know. Arguably the greatest defensive player ever for
Speaker 5: the New York Giants.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 5: It was the second half and somebody was kicking into
Speaker 5: the kicking net on the Cardinals sideline and I'm like, well,
Speaker 5: who's that because it's definitely not one of the Cardinals kickers.
Speaker 5: And I turn around and it's Lt. LT. Just he
Speaker 5: had a cigar in one and and he had a
Speaker 5: beverage in the other, and he was decided to work
Speaker 5: on his place kicking in the Cardinals net on the
Speaker 5: sideline of the Hall of Fame games.
Speaker 2: I can't even believe that.
Speaker 1: But LT does what LT does on a football field,
Speaker 1: and you let him do it, Balie.
Speaker 5: Nobody's telling him otherwise on a gridiron, That's for sure.
Speaker 5: It's a big red rage presented by santan Ford and
Speaker 5: Gilbert We are santan Ford, Paul Kelbc, Ron wolf Lee
Speaker 5: soon to be joined by Will Hernandez. I don't see
Speaker 5: a lot of people telling Will Hernandez what to do either,
Speaker 5: lest they risk their well being put into what PAULI. Honestly,
Speaker 5: once again, I just want to say this. I've said
Speaker 5: this before and you know this, buddy. If you go
Speaker 5: back and you look at the nine games that Will
Speaker 5: Hernandez played last year, I'm telling you, PAULI, I do
Speaker 5: believe over the course of those nine games he was
Speaker 5: the most consistent offensive lineman the Arizona Cardinals had before
Speaker 5: he got hurt. I'm bullish, I'm Will Hernandez. I love
Speaker 5: his physicality, I love the mentality that he has. I
Speaker 5: love him at right guard. Right now, I'm expecting big
Speaker 5: things from Will Hernandez. Let's get right into it. Second
Speaker 5: padded practice today here at Cardinals camp right powered by
Speaker 5: Cox and it was a line D line drills. Yes,
Speaker 5: Will Hernandez fared very well. In fact, there was one
Speaker 5: titanic match up him against Lecky to that's about seven
Speaker 5: hundred pounds of dude, right there are those two going
Speaker 5: at it.
Speaker 2: And that's a lot of beefy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a heavyweight tilt right there. But it's
Speaker 5: his new right tackle. It's Paris Johnson Junior. It was
Speaker 5: Paris Johnson Junior early his first rep O Line D
Speaker 5: line drills Kidding School by Dennis Garden.
Speaker 2: I saw that Polly with the spin move.
Speaker 5: And then you could tell he wasn't happy. And so
Speaker 5: then midway through he took care of a couple of guys,
Speaker 5: but he still had his eye on forty five. He
Speaker 5: wanted Dennis Gardeck again. He wanted the rematch. Okay, I
Speaker 5: missed that Polly, and they got the rematch. It was
Speaker 5: the second last rep of O line D line and
Speaker 5: Paris Johnson Junior boom. He stoned him. He just tied
Speaker 5: him up and then and then sort of finished him
Speaker 5: at the end, sort of went Will Hernandez because Will
Speaker 5: has a tendency to finish some of those blocks and
Speaker 5: for a guy down to the ground, to the very end,
Speaker 5: and then Garda got up and they wapped it up
Speaker 5: and the coaches came in and boomed, that was a
Speaker 5: great wrap to Olne D line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that is that's the way it ought to be.
Speaker 1: PAULI right there, honestly, And if Paris Johnson did not
Speaker 1: respond in that way, because I saw him, I saw
Speaker 1: him get beat on that spin move and it was
Speaker 1: it was a great move by Dennis Gardik. That would
Speaker 1: have been as sack right there, or really what if
Speaker 1: that's how quickly Dennis Gardak the Barbarian, that's how quickly
Speaker 1: he got that inside right there. But Paris Johnson Jr.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see that, Paul. That shows me a
Speaker 1: little something right there. He's got a little stin coming
Speaker 1: out of the side of his neck. That's what you
Speaker 1: got to have if you want to play this game.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 5: And look the right side of the old line I
Speaker 5: think is decided. It's Will Hernandez is Paris Johnson Jr.
Speaker 5: Who's starting a center right now. It's the older role hole.
Speaker 5: But Pat Elfline, who has forty career starts the center,
Speaker 5: is slowly making his way up the depth chart, running
Speaker 5: second team center today, so we'll see where that's tracking.
Speaker 5: John Gaines, the fourth round rookie of UCLA, who was
Speaker 5: second team center, is now running second team guard.
Speaker 2: I saw that, PAULI.
Speaker 1: That was really interesting right there to me because now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they moved him behind Will Hernandez,
Speaker 1: did they not. That's that's great for John gains It
Speaker 1: really is, because I think he'll have the opportunity to develop.
Speaker 1: He's not going to compete with Will Hernandez for the
Speaker 1: starting position. That's I think something that is done strategically
Speaker 1: by JG and maybe even many Austin Ford in on
Speaker 1: that to move them over and let those two centers
Speaker 1: Froholt and lf Line let them go at it.
Speaker 5: Key Trel Clark had a good practice. We'll get into
Speaker 5: cornerback here a little bit later in this edition of
Speaker 5: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 5: But he had a pass breakup on the final play
Speaker 5: of team drills that resulted in an interception by Juju Hughes. Okay,
Speaker 5: so there was that, and then there was Greg Dortch.
Speaker 5: Just like last year in camp. Derch is consistent. He
Speaker 5: has a high motor. He's making plays. He's a difference maker.
Speaker 5: He had a great diving catch out of bounds from
Speaker 5: Clayton Tune, which brings us to the rookie quarterback because
Speaker 5: the hype train is officially leaving the station, Clayton Tune
Speaker 5: getting more first team reps today. At times. There was
Speaker 5: Honathan Gannon meeting the media before practice, asked about Clayton
Speaker 5: Tune and look, he qualified it by saying he's got
Speaker 5: a lot to learn every single day. He's got to
Speaker 5: learn a lot. But then he also went on to
Speaker 5: say about Claytonton, the fifth round rookie quarterback out of Houston,
Speaker 5: that he's brutally honest with himself when he makes a mistake,
Speaker 5: he has no problems citing it. Try very important.
Speaker 1: He heard me talk about that right there. Tell the truth,
Speaker 1: Always tell the truth about yourself.
Speaker 5: Kannon San also about Clayton Tune. I like that he
Speaker 5: can play fast, he has command of the huddle. You
Speaker 5: see the arm talent. So those are all the quotes
Speaker 5: that got sent out, okay, but on the front and
Speaker 5: back end, he also said he's still got a long
Speaker 5: way to go.
Speaker 1: He still got a long way to go, right there, Pauly, honestly, listen,
Speaker 1: I think JG's doing the right thing. I'm sure he's
Speaker 1: trying to give a little sugar to Clayton Tune right there,
Speaker 1: give him a little confidence maybe BALI right, bring him along,
Speaker 1: of course you want to do that.
Speaker 2: I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see any scenario right now where Clayton Tune
Speaker 1: beats out Colt MCA without even playing in a preseason game.
Speaker 1: I just don't see that being possible at all.
Speaker 5: That's just me and we talked about it with Drew
Speaker 5: stan this morning on the Red Sea Report. Wolf. Even
Speaker 5: if Clayton Tune goes out and has a perfect passer
Speaker 5: rating in three preseason games, it's nothing like what he'll
Speaker 5: face in Week one against Washington. He's not gonna see
Speaker 5: anything in August that Ron Rivere is gonna throw at him.
Speaker 5: Week one at Washington, He's not gonna see anyone along
Speaker 5: the lines of Doron Payne and Jonathan Allen and Montes
Speaker 5: Sweat and Chase Young. Yes, so Colt McCoy in his
Speaker 5: fourteenth season, I agree with you. There's no scenario under
Speaker 5: which unless unless somehow you know, Colt has a drop
Speaker 5: off at age thirty seven.
Speaker 1: PAULI, listen once again there. What I said is, there's
Speaker 1: no way Clayton Tune is going to start before Colt
Speaker 1: McCoy before a preseason game is played. That's what I
Speaker 1: meant right there. There's no way you've got to throw McCay.
Speaker 1: I mean, not cold McCoy, Clayton Tune. You got to
Speaker 1: throw him, PAULI, out into the silks when the preseason
Speaker 1: games are going and you got to see how he's
Speaker 1: going to do. You got to find out how he's
Speaker 1: going to play when the lights are on and the
Speaker 1: bullets metaphorically speaking, are real. There's no way I see
Speaker 1: him starting until they play preseason games, and who knows. Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: if Clayton Tune goes out there and lights it up,
Speaker 1: if he goes out there and plays incredibly well in
Speaker 1: all three preseason games, the only thing I would say
Speaker 1: is it may shorten the pull. If you will shorten
Speaker 1: the leash on Colt McCoy if in fact they're losing
Speaker 1: games in September.
Speaker 5: And here's the other thing we don't know on Colt McCoy.
Speaker 5: A year ago, when Kyler Murray is dealing with the
Speaker 5: wrist and then COVID Colt got a lot of action
Speaker 5: norton him a number of throws and then they had
Speaker 5: to shut him down. So I think they're being ultra
Speaker 5: careful with a cold McCoy this time around, which results
Speaker 5: in Clayton Tune getting extra reps with the first team.
Speaker 5: At least that's one theory we'll see. You also see
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray out here talking with Jonathan Gannon a lot,
Speaker 5: and they'll be behind the defense. Gannon watching everything. Kyler
Speaker 5: Murray standing next to his new head coach, and JG
Speaker 5: was asked today about those conversations.
Speaker 6: He's kind of a ball junkie, you know what I mean,
Speaker 6: and he wants to understand the why, why is ralis
Speaker 6: doing that? You know, why is Marco playing it that way?
Speaker 6: Why is this going on? You know? I try to
Speaker 6: educate him on those things. He wants to know defense,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Good quarterbacks do so. And
Speaker 6: he's very intelligent. You can talk with him to a
Speaker 6: level of like he's a coach, you know what I mean,
Speaker 6: because he's smart and he understands. And it's also for
Speaker 6: me really good for me to hear his perspective.
Speaker 5: Interesting JG talking about Nick Rowlis, a defensive coordinator as
Speaker 5: the head coach, and QB one Kyler Murray talking ball
Speaker 5: watching the team drills.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love that right there, because that's exactly what
Speaker 1: Kyler needs. A head coach who totally understands defensive football
Speaker 1: to actually take Kyler Murray through the process of what
Speaker 1: is being called, the plays that they're running, the schemes
Speaker 1: that they're running, and why they're running, the why behind
Speaker 1: it all. This is part of the next step for
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray poly You hear me talking about this all
Speaker 1: the time, that he's got to evolve his game. He's
Speaker 1: got to evolve his game going forward, especially from under center.
Speaker 1: Why are defenses doing this? What's the weakness of this defense?
Speaker 1: I think JG wants to talk to Kyler Murray through
Speaker 1: these plays to see how he's processing these plays. Is
Speaker 1: he seeing what he should be seeing standing there with JG.
Speaker 5: Very interesting to me because look, for everything that Kyler
Speaker 5: has done in his career, he never had a chance
Speaker 5: to just sort of soak it in from the sideline,
Speaker 5: you know, kind of what can I learn through osmosis?
Speaker 5: What can I learn from a veteran quarterback that he
Speaker 5: never really had as a rookie. He was the franchise quarterback,
Speaker 5: the starting quarterback from the moment he was drafted. So
Speaker 5: is this an ideal scenario where he's coming back from
Speaker 5: a knee injury. Obviously not, But this is the one
Speaker 5: aspect of it that I think can be beneficial, especially
Speaker 5: if he's watching cold McCoy run an offense that guess
Speaker 5: what Cole McCoy has run before, David Blau has run before. Yes,
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray to our knowledge, has never run anything quite
Speaker 5: like this scheme.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt Bully once again a lot of the
Speaker 1: shotgun and a lot of the spread offense at Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray is very, very familiar with the decisions are made.
Speaker 1: You're reading one guy. Basically, you're reading the defense nonetheless,
Speaker 1: but you're reading one guy in a gross simplification of
Speaker 1: the truth. And whatever that guy does, he makes up
Speaker 1: your decision for you. This is a completely different offense
Speaker 1: this part of it. They're still going to run the spread,
Speaker 1: They're still going to have elements of the shotgun of
Speaker 1: course in Pistol Pauali. They're still going to do it all.
Speaker 1: But now Kyler also has to read coverage. And that's
Speaker 1: the difference. When you put them under center and you
Speaker 1: use play action, he's gonna have to read.
Speaker 5: By the way, is the DNA of the Drew Petsing
Speaker 5: scheme on display right now in the Hall of Fame
Speaker 5: game the Cleveland Browns, his former team, and what they're running.
Speaker 5: Do you think what we're seeing tonight we're apt to
Speaker 5: see next Friday night when the Cardinals debut in the
Speaker 5: preseason against Denver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question right there. I do believe Pauali.
Speaker 1: Right now, if you were to watch this game, if
Speaker 1: you were to break it down right now, you would
Speaker 1: see an awful lot of the schemes that Drew Pettsing
Speaker 1: and the Arizona Cardinals are going to be running against
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos on August eleven. Right here, you're seeing
Speaker 1: it right now. There's a lot of twelve personnel, two
Speaker 1: tight ends right one back, two tight ends, even thirteen personnel.
Speaker 1: I've seen that already. Right now. They're mixing up the
Speaker 1: tackle zone where you're attacking the line of scrimmage. Of course,
Speaker 1: they're also running some power plays. They do an awful
Speaker 1: lot of it. And once again, PAULI, that's really going
Speaker 1: to be important for the Cardinals to do that. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be important because you got to get this stuff
Speaker 1: on tape, Paul, you gotta get this on tape because
Speaker 1: then you can teach everybody. That's when you really learn.
Speaker 1: When the silks are on and you're out there and
Speaker 1: you're playing football.
Speaker 2: And it's live, it's full going.
Speaker 1: You got the mouthguard in, you can break that tape down, man,
Speaker 1: and just because one guy makes a mistake, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be able to teach a lot of other guys not
Speaker 1: to make the same mistake. They need tape, that's what
Speaker 1: they need. And that's why you need your You might
Speaker 1: not be playing your starters, but you need your schemes
Speaker 1: to be on display for everybody so you can teach
Speaker 1: off of it.
Speaker 5: Preseason opener Arizona Cardinals hosting Denver right here at State
Speaker 5: Farm Stadium next Friday, August eleventh. Right, And it's a
Speaker 5: perivial question, right, how much is too much to show
Speaker 5: in the preseason? How much do you need? You know?
Speaker 5: But remember twenty nineteen Cardinals didn't get nearly enough action
Speaker 5: in the preseason and show that debut against the Lion
Speaker 5: back with more on the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 5: Santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 4: Back to Mascos Dalton. On first down, Fuyers over the
Speaker 4: middle and the ball is tipped.
Speaker 5: Into the air and picked off the thirty yard line.
Speaker 4: Running left and the money Marco Wilson to the ted
Speaker 4: the high steps he then he.
Speaker 5: Doesn't flip into the ENDZM.
Speaker 1: The doc cown Marco.
Speaker 5: Wilson in a pick six.
Speaker 4: Pavin Cardinals take a lane twenty to fourteen.
Speaker 1: Boy, did you see Marco Wilson elevate on that you
Speaker 1: tad touchdown flip.
Speaker 4: What was kind of money is they're showing the camera
Speaker 4: angle of Andy Dalton being upset and in the background
Speaker 4: you can see Wilson will launch it into the air
Speaker 4: like it's just part of the background.
Speaker 5: It looks quite humorous. All I have to do is
Speaker 5: google it up. I just did front flip. Pick six
Speaker 5: was insane Marco Wilson. And then there's all the memes.
Speaker 5: I mean, you talk about a memorable moment from lam season,
Speaker 5: that meme of Andy Dalton in the foreground lamenting the
Speaker 5: pick sixty just threw at the very moment that Marco
Speaker 5: Wilson is airborne in the background doing a flip into
Speaker 5: the end zone. Talk about sticking the landing and punctuating
Speaker 5: that big play. Marco Wilson with a ridiculous athleticism on
Speaker 5: display last year on Thursday Night against the Saints.
Speaker 1: Pauly, Honestly, that might be the most athletic thing I've
Speaker 1: ever seen on a football field. Seriously, I've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of great athletes. I've witnessed it myself. I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of games. Of course, I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of great athletes do some great things. That was one
Speaker 1: of the most athletic athletic moves I've ever seen. The
Speaker 1: way he jumped at first and then flipped at the end.
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable how he did and the vertical on
Speaker 1: that the elevation incredible.
Speaker 5: And then if you YouTube up what he did as
Speaker 5: a youngster as a teenager, Oh yeah, right, it really
Speaker 5: is insane.
Speaker 2: Anybody call that park what they call it right there? Park? Okay,
Speaker 2: I know you were big in the park, Paul.
Speaker 5: All I know is from the sideline from ground level,
Speaker 5: You're like, okay, what is he doing? Where is he going?
Speaker 5: He took off at about the seven yard line. It
Speaker 5: was like Michael Jordan taking off from the free throw
Speaker 5: line in the slam duncan.
Speaker 2: Flip.
Speaker 5: It's almost like he vaulted and then figured out mill
Speaker 5: or what I'm gonna do. So there you go. That's
Speaker 5: Marco Wilson, who at the time was cornerback three. He's
Speaker 5: now cornerback one by our Murphy Leftia free agency. Antonio Hamilton,
Speaker 5: who won the number two corner job out of camp
Speaker 5: last year and then got it back by the end
Speaker 5: of the season. Well, guess what he is now competing
Speaker 5: to be the starting corner opposite Marco Wilson, who has
Speaker 5: the insane athleticism. We've already established that here's the defensive
Speaker 5: corner and Nick rollis on a chat he had recently
Speaker 5: with cornerback one Marco Wilson.
Speaker 7: He know, I've talked to Marco specifically and told him, like,
Speaker 7: you have all the ability to be a number one
Speaker 7: corner in this league, and that's what I expect. But
Speaker 7: you know, I'm going to hold you accountable and try
Speaker 7: to get you better every day. Coach Smith, he's going
Speaker 7: to do the same thing. JG's going to do the
Speaker 7: same thing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: JJ's background is coaching those dvs and he's responded great
Speaker 7: to it.
Speaker 5: How does he take that next step Wolf, and how
Speaker 5: vital is it to this team, this defense that he
Speaker 5: plays like a number one cornerback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think it's really really important. I think
Speaker 1: when you talk about the cornerback room, you've got to
Speaker 1: start there.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: I know that we have been talking awful lot about
Speaker 1: cornerback number two and cornerback number three and who who
Speaker 1: it might be and who's going to be the starter
Speaker 1: opposite of Marco Wilson. Marco Wilson is somebody can't just
Speaker 1: gloss over because he's got so much raw talent right now,
Speaker 1: he's got to take that next step forward. He's got
Speaker 1: to do that, Pauli. Nobody else can do it for him.
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson has got to be that guy who embraces
Speaker 1: the challenge of truly becoming a cornerback one, a CB one,
Speaker 1: because he's got that kind of ability, He's got that
Speaker 1: kind of raw talent and athleticism. He's got that. Now
Speaker 1: he's got to go out and pursue it. Paully, it's
Speaker 1: got to matter to him too, And that's where you
Speaker 1: got to start Marco Wilson in his development before he
Speaker 1: can talk about anybody else.
Speaker 5: It's a game of matchup. How many times do we
Speaker 5: hear that? And so you're going Week one against Washington
Speaker 5: Terry McLaurin, Pro Bowl receiver. What are you gonna do
Speaker 5: if you're Nick Rolis a defensive coordinator. Sure, I guess
Speaker 5: you can throw a zone. You have some help over
Speaker 5: top with the safety. Yeah, I guess you can scheme
Speaker 5: around it. But ideally you'd love to throw your number
Speaker 5: one corner on an island out against the other team's
Speaker 5: number one receiver. Do the Cardinals have that ability? Do
Speaker 5: they have that player? Is he really a cornerback two
Speaker 5: who's just going to be put in position of a
Speaker 5: number one corner?
Speaker 1: You know what exactly do they have in Marco Wilson? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And even the old coaching staff would tell you. Remember Paulli,
Speaker 1: they were trying to poke him a little bit, jab
Speaker 1: him a little bit in last training camp as a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, to get him to respond. They wanted
Speaker 1: to see him get better. Hopefully EJG. And Nick Rolis
Speaker 1: they're not going to have to do that at all.
Speaker 1: He's going to be the guy responsible for getting better.
Speaker 1: But it all starts with Marco Wilson after that, PAULI,
Speaker 1: it's going to be really interesting to me to see
Speaker 1: what they do. You know, Key Trell Clark is getting
Speaker 1: an awful lot of reps. You talk about this all
Speaker 1: the time. Christian Matthew is getting a lot of reps
Speaker 1: as well. It's going to be really interesting. Antonio Hamilton,
Speaker 1: how is he going to factor in.
Speaker 2: To this cornerback room and playing time as well.
Speaker 1: It's one of the positions I look at and I
Speaker 1: think of Jonathan Gannon immediately because he was talking about
Speaker 1: how competitive this training camp was going to be. He
Speaker 1: was going to open it up. He wants people to
Speaker 1: know there are no jobs here that are locked up.
Speaker 1: We're in a prove it game. It's a meritocracy, the
Speaker 1: NFL one of the biggest meritocracy. He's on the planet.
Speaker 1: You've got to go prove your worth. You've got to
Speaker 1: go prove that you own that job. And I love
Speaker 1: that mentality. We're showing up the most, maybe the corner room.
Speaker 5: And I tell you, if there's one position group where
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon has an expert opinion, it's corner. That's his
Speaker 5: position of specialty, going back ten years as an assistant coach,
Speaker 5: as a position coach, it's corner. You see him all
Speaker 5: the time during these practices.
Speaker 8: Wolf.
Speaker 5: We witness it. He's thirty yards behind the line of
Speaker 5: scrimmage looking at everything, and then he'll come running up
Speaker 5: and talk to a corner and then he'll go back
Speaker 5: to his position as overseeing the entire practice. But he
Speaker 5: always has something to say to the various corners. And
Speaker 5: it is a wide open competition behind Marco Wilson. In fact,
Speaker 5: Nick Rawlis was asked about everybody else and just how
Speaker 5: close he might be the naming cornerback too.
Speaker 7: It's a young group with talent, with a high ceiling,
Speaker 7: and I like the way they show up and work
Speaker 7: in meetings.
Speaker 9: You know, there's a.
Speaker 7: Lot of details to that position, to that technique. Those
Speaker 7: guys are technicians out there, and you have to be
Speaker 7: obsessed with that spot and your craft.
Speaker 2: How close are you deciding on who's going to be two?
Speaker 9: Not close?
Speaker 7: It's a good competition right now. We got a lot
Speaker 7: of camp to go and I got to see who's
Speaker 7: who's going to merge to play certain roles.
Speaker 5: I'll give you an example today's practice, Greg Dortch making
Speaker 5: a lot of guys look bad. Mm hm, you know
Speaker 5: like the Dorch right, I mean he made he made
Speaker 5: so he made some plays. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: towards the end of the one on one drills against
Speaker 5: the corners, Antonio Hamilton came up press man right in
Speaker 5: his grill, and he shadowed them all the way down
Speaker 5: the sideline and he was right with him step for step.
Speaker 5: So Antonio Hamilton, who's actually the one guy older than
Speaker 5: his defensive coordinator, thirty year old Nick rollis he has
Speaker 5: that experience he's used every single year of his career,
Speaker 5: he's had to fight for a spot in the fifty three.
Speaker 5: Antonio Hamilton has that dog mentality, and he has a
Speaker 5: supreme confidence that he's been there and done that. And
Speaker 5: I'm curious by the time we're done with Cardinals Camp,
Speaker 5: if Antonio Hamilton doesn't end up right where he ended
Speaker 5: up last year as the opposite starting corner in this scheme, that's.
Speaker 1: A possibility, Paul, it really is right now. But I
Speaker 1: love Nick Roll it's right there once again saying we're
Speaker 1: not even close. We're not even close to figuring out
Speaker 1: who's number two and number three. Boy, that sends a
Speaker 1: message to everybody that is fighting to be that corner
Speaker 1: opposite of Marco Wilson at this point in time. Christian Matthew.
Speaker 1: Of course, here's a guy that's got size to play
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, size to play on the edge out there,
Speaker 1: six ' two, one hundred and ninety five pounds.
Speaker 2: That's a big corner. Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 1: There, Paully, And you know, Key Troll Clark I think
Speaker 1: is maybe a little bit better suited at five ten
Speaker 1: and one hundred and eighty five pounds, one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty one pounds somewhere in that vicinity. Maybe he's a
Speaker 1: little better suited to be that nickel guy in the slot.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 5: Christian Matthew had a learning moment today. He was right there,
Speaker 5: step for step, stride for stride is one on one.
Speaker 5: In the very end, he got handsy, he got he
Speaker 5: got a hand up in the sho shoulder pad and
Speaker 5: he got flagged because they have officials working at and
Speaker 5: Nick Rowlis came out and basically explained to him that
Speaker 5: wasn't necessary. You're right there in coverage. Don't give him
Speaker 5: the flag, don't give them the first down because you
Speaker 5: see Christian Matthew wear those oven mits. Yes, when you
Speaker 5: get grabby, and so it's trying to teach those guys.
Speaker 5: Here's my other working theory when it comes to this, Well,
Speaker 5: how many times have we seen a three safety scheme? Buddha, Baker,
Speaker 5: Jalen Thompson and Isaiah Simmons. What position did Isaiah Simmons
Speaker 5: play more than any other? Last year? Slot corner? Jalen
Speaker 5: Thompson could play in the slot. We know Buddha can
Speaker 5: play in the slot, so you know, maybe there's just
Speaker 5: two corners and then that three safety alignment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, once again, let's just fine Isaiah up in one
Speaker 1: position and please tell him go play football.
Speaker 5: Will Hernandez next, and the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 5: santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 9: We got a good group of guys that's just like
Speaker 9: great dudes that want to play football.
Speaker 2: So it's easy to mingle with the group.
Speaker 9: Is easy to interject young office alignment into the room
Speaker 9: and it'd be fun. Oh man, me and Farris are
Speaker 9: already clicking. Man, such a cool guy, very smart. We
Speaker 9: even have our own handshake going on. Already there you
Speaker 9: go and already, well, I'll give you guys a clue.
Speaker 9: It's you. We wouldn't call it a handshake. We would
Speaker 9: call it more of a belly shake.
Speaker 5: Will Hernandez there with Wolf and Luke. Will Hernandez here
Speaker 5: on the Big Red Raid presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 5: We are santan Ford and we're also trying to figure
Speaker 5: out should we try to voke that visual there. Well,
Speaker 5: I'm not sure the belly shake, I'm not sure if
Speaker 5: i'd you know, should we just allow that to happen
Speaker 5: organically during the season when would you bust out the
Speaker 5: belly shake that you describe there would be like fourth
Speaker 5: and gold and boom, you come off the ball and
Speaker 5: you punch it in.
Speaker 9: Would that be apropos Yeah, definitely appropriate. But you know,
Speaker 9: the belly shake is gonna happen pretty much at the
Speaker 9: start of every drive, really, and that's that's just how
Speaker 9: we're gonna set the tone in the huddle. Okay, as
Speaker 9: far as the right side, but yeah, I'm sure it's
Speaker 9: not something that everybody wants to imagine, but it is
Speaker 9: something that's going to.
Speaker 5: Happen, which I'm just gonna be honest here. It leads
Speaker 5: us into our next question. Last we heard from you.
Speaker 5: Let's just say that you're listing on the roster here
Speaker 5: three point thirty two true or false? It was false,
Speaker 5: then are you any closer to the three thirty two
Speaker 5: now or in the interest of the belly shaker, you're
Speaker 5: going to keep that classified information?
Speaker 9: Well, the way doesn't change anything with the handshake. It's
Speaker 9: still going to be there. It's still going to be
Speaker 9: just as electric. Definitely closer to that number. So we'll
Speaker 9: say true, end false.
Speaker 5: Gotcha, well done? All right. Will Hernandez is our guest
Speaker 5: so your new right tackle, at least so far, has
Speaker 5: been Paris Johnson Junior. How long does it tell you
Speaker 5: take you to tell if a rookie can play? I
Speaker 5: was talking to some of the receivers and you know players,
Speaker 5: no players, right, They said, how long before you can
Speaker 5: tell a newcomer can play the spot? And they said,
Speaker 5: you know what these veterans were saying, Michael Wilson came in.
Speaker 5: It took us one practice half a practice to realize,
Speaker 5: you know what, this kid can play. How about you?
Speaker 5: When you see an offensive lineman for the first time.
Speaker 9: Usually pretty quickly starting with their the way they think,
Speaker 9: their mentality, how they talk about the game, how they
Speaker 9: you know, handle themselves, what they do you know, when
Speaker 9: something does go wrong, usually gives you a good idea.
Speaker 9: And then after that it's just after the first pad
Speaker 9: of practice. Really you can't. It's hard to judge off
Speaker 9: of you know, it's just helmets or when we're out
Speaker 9: there in shorts and our OTAs. So I usually you know,
Speaker 9: can tell right after the padded practice. But honestly I
Speaker 9: had I didn't even have to wait until the padded
Speaker 9: practice with Paris, Uh, you know, he proved himself earlier
Speaker 9: than that, And you know, I just had a good
Speaker 9: feeling that he's just a baller. And you know, it
Speaker 9: started all with the way he thinks in his mentality,
Speaker 9: which I really like. So definitely a good fit for us,
Speaker 9: Definitely the real deal, and he's going to help us
Speaker 9: out for sure.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a massive human being, he's athletic, and
Speaker 5: from what I can tell, he's intense. He's got a
Speaker 5: mean streak about him, doesn't he? Oh yeah, So what
Speaker 5: do you think that right side of the line. I mean,
Speaker 5: when it's when it's third and short and you guys,
Speaker 5: I mean, the two of you, it would seem like,
Speaker 5: you know, your chemistry. How long does it take to
Speaker 5: develop that chemistry? They will always hear about with offensive linemen,
Speaker 5: how long you know, since you guys are brand new.
Speaker 9: You know, it's hard to tell. You know, guys can
Speaker 9: get it on the first rep. Guys can it can
Speaker 9: take him a few weeks at the end of camp whatever.
Speaker 9: But with me and Paris so far, it felt like
Speaker 9: it's happened pretty right off the bat, organically, didn't have
Speaker 9: to force anything. So it's been very very good, very simple,
Speaker 9: very easy. And then we're just building off of that
Speaker 9: right now, because we're never going to start, you know,
Speaker 9: thinking something's good enough.
Speaker 5: What's going to be his biggest challenge? Will Hernandez our
Speaker 5: guest in the Big Red Rage. You're a high draft
Speaker 5: pick once upon a time. You know, he only knows
Speaker 5: what he knows. Yeah, he's going to find out when
Speaker 5: regular season games start, and you know what, look at
Speaker 5: the first part of the Cardinals schedule. I mean, look
Speaker 5: at your first game. You guys are going against Jonathan
Speaker 5: Allen and Deron Payne and Montes Sweat and Chase Young
Speaker 5: right out at they gave What is he going to
Speaker 5: find out about the NFL real soon?
Speaker 9: You know, he'll find out real quick that. You know,
Speaker 9: pretty much his best matchup that he ever had in
Speaker 9: college is going to be pretty much every snap now.
Speaker 9: And I think he has a mentality to take it on.
Speaker 9: I'm not saying he's gonna be perfect. I'm not saying
Speaker 9: it's gonna be easy for him, or I'm not making
Speaker 9: any predictions. I'm just saying, based on knowing the guy personally,
Speaker 9: watching him practice, playing right next to him, I think
Speaker 9: he'll be able to handle adversity very well because at
Speaker 9: the end of the day happens to everybody, all of us,
Speaker 9: no matter how good we are.
Speaker 5: He talked about how, well, let's just put it this way,
Speaker 5: how needy some of the veterans might be in the
Speaker 5: offensive line room. That you guys have been pretty demanding
Speaker 5: when it comes to some of the requests for the rookies,
Speaker 5: be the drinks, the snacks. Somebody even mandated that the
Speaker 5: sandwiches be cut into triangles. Really really, will you.
Speaker 9: Know what, I'll go back to your last question. That's
Speaker 9: going to be the hardest part for him to understand.
Speaker 9: He needs to understand that we have needs and those
Speaker 9: needs need to be met.
Speaker 5: The most demanding offensive lineman in that room.
Speaker 9: Uh, you know what, I'll give it to the to
Speaker 9: the vets, Uh Beach and h and Hull.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Beach is relentless, you know, rightfully.
Speaker 9: So you know, these guys have paid their their dues
Speaker 9: and been in the game for a while, so they
Speaker 9: get to do stuff like that.
Speaker 5: All right, So we know the chemistry between you guys.
Speaker 5: What about Clayton Adams Chris Cook, the new offensive line coaches,
Speaker 5: how would you describe their philosophy so far?
Speaker 9: I think they're great coaches, very good personalities. They get
Speaker 9: along with those great right off the bat too. It
Speaker 9: was something simple that we didn't have to we didn't
Speaker 9: have to force. And I think these guys are very smart.
Speaker 9: These guys are very talented and you know, picking stuff
Speaker 9: up quickly, working with us like they I feel like
Speaker 9: they got it all. They're great coaches. They they make
Speaker 9: us better every day. And you could tell it too
Speaker 9: that they care. You know, it's very something. It's something
Speaker 9: that most players can always tell right off the bat
Speaker 9: is if the coaches, uh is really into it or
Speaker 9: he wants to make you think that he's into it.
Speaker 9: And these guys are definitely in one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: When you look at the playbook for an offensive linement,
Speaker 5: Cole McCoy has talked about just how different this offense is, right,
Speaker 5: zach Ertz said, In fact, it couldn't be more different
Speaker 5: than what the Cardinals ran last year. How different isn't
Speaker 5: for an offensive alignment this scheme?
Speaker 9: No, Yeah, they're they're absolutely right. This is a complete
Speaker 9: one eighty from what we used to do. And uh,
Speaker 9: you know, we're excited as far as an offensive line standpoint,
Speaker 9: We're you know, anytime you tell us we're gonna run
Speaker 9: the ball a lot more than we're gonna pass or
Speaker 9: that we're gonna you know, they're gonna they're gonna rely
Speaker 9: on us a lot more than they did last year.
Speaker 9: You know that pumps you up. You know, it gives
Speaker 9: you something to work more towards. And uh, it gives
Speaker 9: you like this ship on your shoulder too. And that's
Speaker 9: exactly what we're meant to do. That's exactly what we
Speaker 9: want to do. And then at the end of the day,
Speaker 9: it's gonna make everybody else job easier if if we
Speaker 9: can run that ball like the way we're supposed to do.
Speaker 9: And I think everybody's gonna benefit off of that. Guy
Speaker 9: who are gonna start catching deeper balls. You know, we're
Speaker 9: gonna make more explosive plays. You know, we're gonna set
Speaker 9: things up so we're excited as an offensive line, and
Speaker 9: then I know all the everything that's going to happen
Speaker 9: from that, all the other positions are excited about.
Speaker 5: Too safe to say it'll be more of an attacking
Speaker 5: style for the offensive line, yeah, going forward. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: Because JG was asked about James Conner my favorite quota
Speaker 5: camp so far, and he talked about the strength of
Speaker 5: James Connery. He said, I can't wait to see him
Speaker 5: behind our offensive line as we cram the ball.
Speaker 2: Vertical.
Speaker 5: That was Jonathan Cannon, and I could just imagine every
Speaker 5: offensive lineman smiling, because that's exactly what you guys want
Speaker 5: to do, right, You want to dictate to the defense,
Speaker 5: don't you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. It just puts us in better position to
Speaker 9: not only help the team out, but really, you know,
Speaker 9: play the game the way we want to play it.
Speaker 5: You know, when you go about resetting a team and
Speaker 5: a roster, it just seems to me and look agree
Speaker 5: or disagree, but the teams have been successful and flipping
Speaker 5: it quick, like the Giants going from four wins to
Speaker 5: a playoff win, Seattle going from last place to the playoffs.
Speaker 5: They fixed the offensive line, right. You can have all
Speaker 5: the talent, all the skill positions you want, but if
Speaker 5: you don't have the offensive line intact and as a
Speaker 5: strength of the team, it just seems to me a
Speaker 5: lot of those other skill positions nobody could ever get traction.
Speaker 5: You can't get it in gear.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I agree, you know, I think there's a
Speaker 9: reason why there's five of us out there, and then
Speaker 9: at any other position, there's not you know, so that
Speaker 9: says a lot. I've always said it's on the offensive
Speaker 9: line to not only get us started and side the tone,
Speaker 9: but to finish games too and give guys a chance
Speaker 9: to be superstars.
Speaker 5: By the way, to Jeff Driscoll, get some street cred.
Speaker 5: You're a backup quarterback. When he filled in a tight end,
Speaker 5: I saw him in a non contact jersey. Yet he's
Speaker 5: in a four point stance right in the line of
Speaker 5: scrimmage in the trenches.
Speaker 9: What an athlete? Right?
Speaker 2: That was good?
Speaker 5: What else has stood out to you about this camp?
Speaker 5: You know what about this coaching staff? Jonathan Gannon, we
Speaker 5: had Josh Woods in here and he likened the culture
Speaker 5: reset that's gone on here to what he witnessed in
Speaker 5: Detroit with Dan Campbell. What have you seen?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 9: Yeah, all I see is a bunch of guys who
Speaker 9: are extremely motivated, but not just motivated, but back up
Speaker 9: everything they're saying in those speeches. And you just feel
Speaker 9: this ambience of guys that care and actually like want
Speaker 9: to go and move forward and get better. And now
Speaker 9: we got guys, you know, working together, offensive d line,
Speaker 9: offensive line, defensive line, talking after practice, talking throughout plays,
Speaker 9: you know, we're actually helping each other get better. It's
Speaker 9: not just a class class class all right, we did
Speaker 9: our job. Let's go back and like, no, everybody's like
Speaker 9: into it, into it, and you know, it's just something
Speaker 9: that you just feel by being around these guys every day.
Speaker 9: And it's hard to explain, really, but the only way
Speaker 9: you can really tell is it is by being around
Speaker 9: all these guys every single day and practicing and then
Speaker 9: going back getting better, talking about it and then practicing
Speaker 9: and going back and forth.
Speaker 5: It seems like everybody has their moment where they've been
Speaker 5: held accountabile by either the head coach or the coaching staff.
Speaker 5: Saving was the first one to really share his moment,
Speaker 5: right speaking a what have you seen out of him
Speaker 5: as a pass rusher as an outside edge guy?
Speaker 9: No, yeah, I mean we've known he's always been a
Speaker 9: very talented player and rusher, and you know, they've been
Speaker 9: using him a lot more now this year, and you know,
Speaker 9: we get to see him a little more inside, and
Speaker 9: you know, we we see firsthand what they're talking about.
Speaker 9: You know, he's a great player and we're glad he's
Speaker 9: on our team and he helps us get better on
Speaker 9: the outside with the tagles and on the inside now
Speaker 9: with the guards more than ever, because you know, we're
Speaker 9: not going to see very many guys that move like
Speaker 9: him and have, you know, strength and power like him.
Speaker 9: So it's good work for us and it's definitely going
Speaker 9: to make our team better and himself better too.
Speaker 5: In your six year what's the best and worst part
Speaker 5: of an NFL training camp? Will Hernandez? Is that an
Speaker 5: easy answer? What's the best? What's the worst part of
Speaker 5: a training camp?
Speaker 9: I would say the the best part is, you know,
Speaker 9: getting a was it first round draft picked rookie and
Speaker 9: getting all the sandwiches cut in your precise way right.
Speaker 9: And the worst, you know, just so like always long
Speaker 9: days with all that. But it's there's also some some
Speaker 9: good in that because you get to hang around these
Speaker 9: guys a lot more than you do anybody else, even
Speaker 9: even your own family. So you build really cool relationships
Speaker 9: and type knit relationships with a lot of these guys
Speaker 9: that end up being your friends and your boys and
Speaker 9: your brothers for life. And it all really happens here
Speaker 9: in training camp. So all right, I.
Speaker 5: Said, wrap it up. How curious are you to see
Speaker 5: what some of these guys look like in a preseason game.
Speaker 5: You're a week away now or so. What are you
Speaker 5: thinking as you guys get towards that point.
Speaker 9: Oh, it's always a great time, you know, going out
Speaker 9: there and competing in and watching these new guys, young
Speaker 9: guys go out there and earn their stuff too. It's
Speaker 9: fun to watch. So well, we'll be ready and get
Speaker 9: them ready.
Speaker 5: And we're ready for the run game, no doubt about it.
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, absolutely, the play extra pass game.
Speaker 9: Well, thank you, thank you guys.
Speaker 5: There you go. Will Hernandez our guest on the Big
Speaker 5: Red Rage. We continue right after this all presented by
Speaker 5: Santan Ford and go. You played for Dan Campbell went
Speaker 5: about resetting the culture in Detroit. Do you see any parallels?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 10: Absolutely, a lot of parallels that I see is no nonsense,
Speaker 10: but not micromanaging, and it teaches you to hold each
Speaker 10: other accountable as well as yourself. It's a fun environment.
Speaker 10: People want to be here, people want to do things right.
Speaker 10: You get rewarded for doing things right. Guys can buy
Speaker 10: into that. You know, you're not playing a game smoking mirrors.
Speaker 10: You're being very straight up and when you trust the
Speaker 10: coach is easy to play form.
Speaker 5: So are you of the opinion that a team takes
Speaker 5: on the personality of its head coach. Did that happen
Speaker 5: with Dan Campbell for example?
Speaker 10: I mean, yeah, I was buying kneecaps with one bund cheat.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Hey, look where the Lions are now, They're right there
Speaker 5: in the showcase Thursday Night game week one of the
Speaker 5: regular season at Kansas City Alliance team that won eight
Speaker 5: of its final ten games. And there was the Special
Speaker 5: Teams captain last year, Josh Woods on the Red Sea
Speaker 5: Report this week.
Speaker 2: Did he say butt cheek? Okay? I just wanted to
Speaker 2: make sure that's what he said right there?
Speaker 5: Okay, the out Q on the SoundBite quote one butt
Speaker 5: cheek heck.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And that brings us back to the Big Red Rage
Speaker 5: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert We are San tan Ford.
Speaker 1: The one thing you know about Dan Campbell, of course,
Speaker 1: and the Detroit Lions, they were looking for specific men.
Speaker 1: They were looking for specific players to play on that team.
Speaker 1: Paulie and I think this is very similar to what
Speaker 1: Jag is doing out here with his coaching staff.
Speaker 5: So think about it. They brought in kay Zier White,
Speaker 5: they brought in Zach Pascal, they brought in Josh Woods.
Speaker 5: Interesting how a number of these players they brought in
Speaker 5: do have that mindset you were just talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting you mentioned Zach Pascal. Here's
Speaker 1: a guy who's a wide receiver. Pall, he's a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: He can play wide receiver in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: You can actually throw him the ball in and he'll
Speaker 1: catch the thing. And yet Zach Pascal, this guy is
Speaker 1: physical as a wide receiver. Oh yeah, okay, remember An
Speaker 1: Kwon Bolden. Of course we all remember An Kwon Bolde.
Speaker 1: You could have taken end and Quorn Bolden and lined
Speaker 1: him up as a full back and he would have
Speaker 1: been Okay, he would have been able to hold up
Speaker 1: as a full You could have put him as the
Speaker 1: weak side inside linebacker and he would have been fine
Speaker 1: inside the box holding up against an ISO. You could
Speaker 1: have put him at strong safety and brought him down
Speaker 1: out of the secondary and let he was a physical,
Speaker 1: physical football player. And that's exactly the kind of player
Speaker 1: no matter what position you play. I think that's a
Speaker 1: prerequisite to being on this team. You got to be physical.
Speaker 5: Before the wildcat was all the rage, the Cardinals use
Speaker 5: An Kwon Bolden, the former college quarterback in the wildcat
Speaker 5: one game against the forty nine ers, and then it
Speaker 5: was interesting how the next season that became all the rage.
Speaker 5: So there's that. Okay, yes, you're looking for that mentality.
Speaker 5: There's no question about it. There's no question that the
Speaker 5: head coach has been tasked with resetting this culture, restoring
Speaker 5: the accountabilding, which was identified in the off season as
Speaker 5: being a problem last season. Josh Woods, He's been there
Speaker 5: and done that. Is there a bigger culture reset in
Speaker 5: recent NFL history than what Dan Campbell is doing with
Speaker 5: the Detroit Lions. They just sold out, By the way,
Speaker 5: there's season tickets for the first time in ford Field history.
Speaker 5: They have just started a waiting list for season tickets
Speaker 5: in Detroit. Think about that, Josh Woods. I asked him,
Speaker 5: you know, we heard it earlier and then we followed
Speaker 5: up just talking about it. Dan Campbell, who is his
Speaker 5: own singular unique personality? What is Josh Wood? See just
Speaker 5: in the intensity of a Jonathan Gannon.
Speaker 10: I haven't really seen it yet, but JG's insane. I
Speaker 10: know it.
Speaker 2: I know it.
Speaker 10: He'll be talking and he'll get riled up, you know,
Speaker 10: things that you're passionate about, and he just every like
Speaker 10: he's just explaining something to us, and then all of
Speaker 10: a sudden, like his face is right of veins are
Speaker 10: popping out of his neck, and then he has to
Speaker 10: go kind of roossa out of it. I'm like, he's.
Speaker 9: Nuts, He's nuts.
Speaker 10: And I'm like, and guys see it too, and they're like,
Speaker 10: I do not want to get on his bad side.
Speaker 5: No, it's in a good way. Well, what did Will
Speaker 5: Hernandez say about the two offensive line coaches? That players
Speaker 5: can tell when guys are truly vested, when it is
Speaker 5: truly meaningful to them, they have a passion for it.
Speaker 5: Sure it's just their job and they're clocking in nine
Speaker 5: to five.
Speaker 1: Right absolutely, Bally now you can see it. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. And JG is genuine. He's got to
Speaker 1: be genuine always because your culture is genuine. And culture
Speaker 1: is what it's the what you're going to do. Culture
Speaker 1: is the how, it's how you're going to do things
Speaker 1: around here, Pali. Culture is the why why we do
Speaker 1: this around here. These are all things that you've got
Speaker 1: to reinforce on the field and off the field, on
Speaker 1: the field and in the tape room. Off the field,
Speaker 1: of course, on the field all of whatever it is
Speaker 1: that you do, Bauli. On a football team, you've got
Speaker 1: to reinforce your culture at all times. And I think
Speaker 1: when you think of the culture of this team, it's physicality,
Speaker 1: it's accountability, and it's disciplined. Those three things in particular.
Speaker 1: In other words, Pauli, if you're not a physical player,
Speaker 1: we're not going.
Speaker 2: To bring you in.
Speaker 1: And this is where JG and Mani have got to
Speaker 1: be on the same page. We're not going to bring
Speaker 1: you in if you're not a physical player. If you
Speaker 1: don't think that way, there's no reason to break bring
Speaker 1: you in. Accountable. If you're not accountable by the time
Speaker 1: you get here to the National Football League, you're not
Speaker 1: going to be accountable ever you're not. You just got
Speaker 1: to know that. And those guys sometimes you got to
Speaker 1: get up close to them. Sometimes you get you got
Speaker 1: to see it up close before you cut them and
Speaker 1: send them on their way, because they're not accountable people. Discipline,
Speaker 1: you know what. Discipline and being undisciplined will get you
Speaker 1: beat in a game and a heartbeat. Those those are
Speaker 1: the qualities you've got to look for in a human being.
Speaker 1: And that's where Manti Austin for and JG have got
Speaker 1: to be on the same page. We are arguing.
Speaker 5: Earlier this week, I contended that Buddha Baker is actually
Speaker 5: a better fit under this coaching staff than he was
Speaker 5: the previous No doubt that his mentality, that this new
Speaker 5: coaching staff is bringing everyone else up to Buddha Baker's mentality.
Speaker 5: That's what they're demanding and requiring. And Buddha recently was
Speaker 5: just talking about his role and how welcome, how much
Speaker 5: he has welcomed this new culture.
Speaker 8: I definitely believe that this coaching staff and Manting and
Speaker 8: GM are developing a great culture here. And you know,
Speaker 8: I'm very excited for you know, the things that they're
Speaker 8: doing and the things that you know, they coach and
Speaker 8: the things that they preach throughout every single day. You know,
Speaker 8: it's definitely a blessing to get that because my job
Speaker 8: is continue to be consistent in the way I play,
Speaker 8: but also just trying to get that coach right. And
Speaker 8: you know, this coaching staff is a great staff, and
Speaker 8: I believe we got it. So it's definitely awesome for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 1: And you know what, Buddha Baker is the perfect model
Speaker 1: for the culture you were talking about this, Polly. He's
Speaker 1: the perfect model for the culture they want to instill
Speaker 1: here with the Arizona Cardinals. But it's interesting because we
Speaker 1: were talking about Dan Campbell and he was on hard knocks.
Speaker 1: He was standing up almost pleading after the first week
Speaker 1: of two days or the first week of training camp,
Speaker 1: I should say, almost pleading with his guys to understand
Speaker 1: why they're doing it, why they're doing it. See, that's
Speaker 1: the reason why you've got to have a general manager
Speaker 1: and a coach beyond the same page. Because the GM
Speaker 1: has got to look for guys who have that physical mindset,
Speaker 1: who have that mentality, so that when you bring them
Speaker 1: in and then Jag says, Okay, here we go. We're
Speaker 1: going to knock each other's face off. We're going to
Speaker 1: be really really physical here. Then you don't have to
Speaker 1: have your head coach get up in front of the
Speaker 1: team and implore them to not revolt, implore them as
Speaker 1: to why you're doing what you're doing. You want guys
Speaker 1: who understand it from the get go. Now, every guy
Speaker 1: you're going to bring in that door may not understand it,
Speaker 1: But Paully, it's really critical. It's really important that those
Speaker 1: two guys are on the same page.
Speaker 5: Week ago, JG was asked how he defines culture and
Speaker 5: he just bottom line it. He said, culture is quote
Speaker 5: how you behave on a daily basis.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 5: So when you hear him say winning behavior, that's what
Speaker 5: he's talking about. Is culture going to win you the
Speaker 5: game week one against Washington? No, not if you have
Speaker 5: inferior talent, but if it's a close game like most
Speaker 5: games are in the NFL, Guess what, maybe you're not
Speaker 5: going to be the team that's going to lead the
Speaker 5: league in pre snap penalties like the Cardinals did a year.
Speaker 5: By the way, speaking of intensity about the red and
Speaker 5: white practice on Saturday twelve forty five here at State
