Speaker 4: of noise. Right gotta get a jump off the line
Speaker 4: because the NFL. Let me explain football to you, Ron
Speaker 4: will Flee. The NFL is all about quarterback and get
Speaker 4: to the quarterback, and we happen to have the guy tonight.
Speaker 4: Here on the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford
Speaker 4: in Gilbert, we are santan Ford. We have the young
Speaker 4: man who just became the first Cardinals rookie with two
Speaker 4: sacks in a game in a dozen years.
Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 4: And he also has a new nickname, according to Kaiser
Speaker 4: White in the locker room, who referred to him earlier
Speaker 4: with the media today saying he's two sack oh Jalai,
Speaker 4: otherwise known as BJ Ojalari. Here on the Big Red
Speaker 4: we go give it up everyone, BJ. How are you
Speaker 4: doing on this? By the way, if you're wondering what's
Speaker 4: going on side, that's rain. I know we haven't seen
Speaker 4: it in many months, so just as a refresher for
Speaker 4: anyone who's a little confused, that's rain that just started
Speaker 4: out here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't seen that in a couple months. I'm
Speaker 6: actually kind of excited.
Speaker 5: I am too, actually, no doubt.
Speaker 7: So PJ your rookie season, man, how do you think
Speaker 7: it's going so far?
Speaker 6: I think he's going good so far.
Speaker 8: You know, we haven't got the results that we wanted
Speaker 8: but I think as a team we're trending in the
Speaker 8: right direction.
Speaker 6: Uh, there's a lot of great veterans.
Speaker 8: In the locker room that are leading me and keeping
Speaker 8: me uplifted and the courage to do better.
Speaker 4: We had Kaizer White a couple months ago here on
Speaker 4: the Big Red Rage, right. He's He's a guy that
Speaker 4: commands a lot of attention, doesn't he. I mean, it
Speaker 4: just just tell us about some of those veterans. Maybe
Speaker 4: that you've watched him afar, maybe they weren't even know
Speaker 4: you're watching him. But who are some of those guys
Speaker 4: on the defensive side of the ball, that side of
Speaker 4: the locker room who you watch a lot of the time.
Speaker 8: Definitely Kaizer, Zavian Collins, Dennis Gardeck, and of course you
Speaker 8: gotta watch Buddha. Their preparation and the way they know
Speaker 8: the game, the knowledge of the game that they have,
Speaker 8: you know, it speaks volume. And those guys are really
Speaker 8: detrimental to the success of the team and the success
Speaker 8: of the defense.
Speaker 7: So I gotta ask you right now, you know each
Speaker 7: one of those guys that you mentioned right there, no
Speaker 7: doubt about it. Watching them is really really good. But
Speaker 7: when you talk about Buddha Baker. You're talking about a
Speaker 7: guy that is a unicorn in the National Football League.
Speaker 7: As far as I'm concerned, he isn't the prototypical size
Speaker 7: for a safety. Of course, all he does is go
Speaker 7: out and play the game of football the way that
Speaker 7: it should be played.
Speaker 1: From one snap to the last snap.
Speaker 7: Buddha Baker is gonna go out there and just crush
Speaker 7: people and throw his body around.
Speaker 1: When you watch him, what does it say to you?
Speaker 1: What is he taught you speech.
Speaker 8: A First of all, he's a heat seeking missile. He
Speaker 8: comes every day juiced up, gives the team energy. His
Speaker 8: preparation is second to none, and it definitely shows on Sunday.
Speaker 6: So he's a great leader to.
Speaker 8: Watch and follow if you want to have the same
Speaker 8: success that he has.
Speaker 7: Are you big into preparation yourself? Is that something you're
Speaker 7: learning that the National Football Like you have to do.
Speaker 8: Most definitely every week is a great opponent, So preparation
Speaker 8: is definitely important seeing the looks that you need to
Speaker 8: see so you can go out and execute flawlessly.
Speaker 4: So, from what I understand, like you not only have practice,
Speaker 4: but then after practice you're spending a lot of time
Speaker 4: with guys like Xaban Collins.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, what's the objective there?
Speaker 4: What are you getting out of that when you spend
Speaker 4: that extra time with those veterans.
Speaker 8: Just to get a better understanding of the game. Xavian
Speaker 8: is a guy who has a lot of reps under
Speaker 8: his belt. He knows stuff that I don't know, So
Speaker 8: spending that extra time with him, it really has helped
Speaker 8: me develop and be able to go out there on
Speaker 8: the field and feel more comfortable and play more free.
Speaker 7: Why did you just start playing the game of football?
Speaker 7: What do you love about the game?
Speaker 8: I love the competitiveness of the game and the pursuit
Speaker 8: of greatness. That's what I really love about this game,
Speaker 8: and the physicality of this game.
Speaker 6: Going out there and being able to.
Speaker 8: Make plays in front of great friends and you know,
Speaker 8: get the crowd roaring.
Speaker 1: You know, that was one of the things that really
Speaker 1: appealed to me as well.
Speaker 7: Just being able to step in between those white lines
Speaker 7: and basically act like an unmitigated savage. Right, definitely step
Speaker 7: outside and love people, respect people, and treat.
Speaker 1: Them better than yourself.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: It didn't Kennedy better than that.
Speaker 6: Right, it doesn't.
Speaker 8: It's definitely a blessing, and every time that I step
Speaker 8: on the practice field, every time that I step on
Speaker 8: the game field, I definitely want to, you know, give
Speaker 8: thanks because a lot of people want to be in
Speaker 8: this opportunity. They want to they want to be in
Speaker 8: the NFL, and I'm in the NFL living a dream,
Speaker 8: So I definitely have to, you know.
Speaker 6: Think that I'm blessed and give my thanks every time.
Speaker 7: When was the first time you actually allowed yourself to
Speaker 7: dream about the National Football League?
Speaker 1: Were you younger?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was definitely younger when I first started playing football,
Speaker 8: probably about eight years old.
Speaker 1: Eight years old, yes, sir, And you thought about the NFL, yes, sir. Okay.
Speaker 4: You know what else you guys have in common is
Speaker 4: you both have older brothers played in the NFL. Well
Speaker 4: tell him about your older brother, because I'm curious. Your
Speaker 4: brother plays for the Giants, right, BJ, And you know
Speaker 4: to what degree did you just follow him? Is an
Speaker 4: eight year old where you're following your older brother into football?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Well we started playing at the same time, so it
Speaker 8: was always a competition who's going to be the best,
Speaker 8: who's going to get the most tackles, most testdown as,
Speaker 8: most sacks, So it just continued on all the way
Speaker 8: through high school, through college and now in the NFL.
Speaker 7: See, my older brother is five years older than I am.
Speaker 7: His name is Craig. He's a butt guy. He played
Speaker 7: on the offensive line, that's what he did, right, for
Speaker 7: twelve years he played in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: I played ten years in the NFL.
Speaker 7: He now is the color analyst on the radio for
Speaker 7: the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a matter of fact, So how
Speaker 7: much older is your brother, BJ?
Speaker 6: Then you Yeah, my brother's only two years older than me.
Speaker 7: Only two Yeah, boy, did you guys? See when I
Speaker 7: think of that right there? See, oh yeah, five years
Speaker 7: apart is a big difference, right there.
Speaker 1: Not only that he was a big dude.
Speaker 7: He was three hundred and twenty pounds, and so we
Speaker 7: didn't have any back and forth very much, right, but
Speaker 7: just five year separation as well. Two years. Yeah, that's
Speaker 7: a little bit more competitive, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 8: Every day we're going at it, we're fighting in the house,
Speaker 8: breaking stuff things. Just the competitive nature of, you know,
Speaker 8: two young boys in the house. And I think that
Speaker 8: really helped our relationship, you know, as we grew older,
Speaker 8: having that kind of love and bond for each other,
Speaker 8: and yeah, it was a great time growing up with Hill.
Speaker 4: Well I can only imagine. So you're competing with your
Speaker 4: older brother and then when it comes time to play
Speaker 4: against kids your age, he must have dominated because you're
Speaker 4: so used to going against your older brother, right.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 8: You know, just going home, going against him coming back
Speaker 8: to practice is like, is a no brainer.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: It's just that mental aspect of knowing that I can
Speaker 8: compete with him and coming out here I expect to dominate.
Speaker 1: So here we are.
Speaker 7: You're halfway through basically your rookie year, and you got
Speaker 7: games left here.
Speaker 1: Do you have a goal in mind?
Speaker 7: Let's just say to yourself, man, this is what I
Speaker 7: want to do the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: This is what I want to produce. Do you have that?
Speaker 1: For me?
Speaker 8: Is just a continuous progression of getting better each day,
Speaker 8: focusing on something that I can hone in on to
Speaker 8: improve my skill and my skill level, being able to
Speaker 8: contribute more to the team and to the defense, and
Speaker 8: making more impact plays to change the shifts of the game.
Speaker 4: Look, we're going to get into your two sacks and
Speaker 4: depth in them a little bit. Let's just talk about
Speaker 4: the win. Let's talk about the game. Let's talk about
Speaker 4: the return to Kyler Murray. Here's what Jonathan Gann and
Speaker 4: your head coach had to say about the return.
Speaker 9: OK One, he and Jack's energy, he and Jack's belief,
Speaker 9: He and Jacks you know obviously, the playmaking and you know,
Speaker 9: and he's the ultimate team guy, ultimate competitor. The guys
Speaker 9: know that, and they rally around that, and then you know,
Speaker 9: he goes out there and takes us all the way
Speaker 9: down the field to win the game. That's that's why
Speaker 9: he is who he is.
Speaker 5: Look, you've heard of Kyler Murray.
Speaker 4: Obviously you came to the team, you saw him the
Speaker 4: last three weeks of practice. But what was it like
Speaker 4: to witness the Kyler experience in a game from the
Speaker 4: from the sideline and see it firsthand.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was amazing. You can tell the whole team
Speaker 8: was decided. Offense went out first. All the guys are
Speaker 8: standing up on the sideline trying to get a peak of,
Speaker 8: you know, the first drive. And I think for his
Speaker 8: first game back, he did an amazing job.
Speaker 6: You know, he did.
Speaker 8: He looked amazing out there, especially you know, coming off
Speaker 8: of what he had to go through running as fast
Speaker 8: as he did, making defenders miss.
Speaker 6: It was truly spectacular.
Speaker 7: So, BJ, when you're on the sideline, when you're not
Speaker 7: actually on the field, what do you like to do?
Speaker 7: Do you like to stand up and actually watch the
Speaker 7: offense go about their business or do you like to
Speaker 7: actually converse with some of your your mates, some of
Speaker 7: your defensive linemen, some of your linebackers. Do you like
Speaker 7: to actually sit on the bench and talk. What do
Speaker 7: you do when the offense has the ball? What do
Speaker 7: you like to do?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Usually I'm standing up.
Speaker 8: Coach Robb will come with the iPad, breakdown the previous drive, anything,
Speaker 8: any corrections or stuff that you want to change.
Speaker 1: And Coach rob is your position? Coach, yes, sir, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I like to stand up, keep my legs going,
Speaker 8: keep my legs warm. You know, if offense has a
Speaker 8: longer drive, you tend to get a little cold and tight,
Speaker 8: So I like to stand up and just stay warm.
Speaker 4: You're not kidding, though, I mean to start that game,
Speaker 4: there wasn't a single defensive player on the bench. Everyone
Speaker 4: was up watching Kyler Murray and that's when you know,
Speaker 4: that's when you know guys were all in and look
Speaker 4: it was an introt. That third quarter was so pivotal
Speaker 4: in so many ways. As a defense, you guys made
Speaker 4: some big time adjustments. They had negative two total net
Speaker 4: yards in that third quarter, Atlanta. The halftime adjustments you
Speaker 4: guys made were nails from jg and Nick Rolis. And
Speaker 4: then there was a whole sequence. Right, you had your sack,
Speaker 4: Kyler threw the pick, and then Taylor Heineke got sacked
Speaker 4: by Guard Deck forcing a fuel goal. Then it came
Speaker 4: back you had another Sackdorsch had the punt return.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's all this back and forth otherwise known
Speaker 4: as complimentary football. And here's what Trey McBride, your standout
Speaker 4: tight end these days, we had to say about that.
Speaker 5: To have all three phases clicking like they were, it was.
Speaker 1: It was cool.
Speaker 10: Bj gets a sack, George takes a pump back, Mike
Speaker 10: I thought scored a touchdown. He got you know, short
Speaker 10: on the one. But then you know Clayton goes in
Speaker 10: there and rushes it in. So that's what football is
Speaker 10: all about. You know, if one side does well, the
Speaker 10: other side doesn't, you're probably gonna lose the game. You
Speaker 10: need all three phases to do that. And then to
Speaker 10: win games. And that's what we did on Sunday.
Speaker 4: How much truth is there that BJ and b j
Speaker 4: O Jolari is our guest here on the Big Red
Speaker 4: Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert were live from
Speaker 4: Trophy and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between Price
Speaker 4: and Dobson, one unit feeding off another. The offense makes
Speaker 4: a big player scores a touchdown, how much does that fire.
Speaker 5: Up the defense when you guys take the field again.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it fires us up, especially touchdowns, any points,
Speaker 8: big block, big catches.
Speaker 6: It fires us up.
Speaker 8: You know, it makes us want to go harder for
Speaker 8: the offense and vice versa. When aendingbody makes it play,
Speaker 8: you see the whole bench stand up, congratulate them. We're yelling,
Speaker 8: we're shouting, and that's just the brotherhood that we're building here.
Speaker 7: In terms of actually going out in between the white
Speaker 7: lines and waylaying people just absolutely.
Speaker 1: Knocking their face off.
Speaker 7: Who do you think is the baddest man inside that
Speaker 7: locker room other than you?
Speaker 8: Of course, the baddest man inside that locker room. Oh man,
Speaker 8: I'll say Matt Prater.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 6: You know, what did you say that because he's fearless.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 8: You know, I can't imagine the amount of pressure that
Speaker 8: he has to overcome when kicking a game winning field
Speaker 8: goal or any field goal from fifty plus any anywhere.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I'll give it to him.
Speaker 1: That's an excellent answer.
Speaker 4: That is the best answer I've heard in a long time.
Speaker 4: Matt Prater in his career is seventeen per seventeen on
Speaker 4: game winning field goal attempts. You're darn right he's fearless.
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right. That is outstanding. Bj o jolar I
Speaker 4: guess or reminder. You can watch Cardinals and focus Sunday's
Speaker 4: nine thirty AM twelve News. We'll get you ready for
Speaker 4: week eleven. Back with more. Here on the big Red
Speaker 4: Rage with bj ojo Lauren.
Speaker 3: Hand up up the middle. B j o Jalari is
Speaker 3: there to grab Rodriguez at the line of scrimmage. Snapped
Speaker 3: the Jackson he's gonna throw from the pocket looking in trouble,
Speaker 3: wrapped up and thrown down for a sack. Pj Ojalari
Speaker 3: gets his first sack. The rookie out of LSU gets
Speaker 3: a big sack here on Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7: Closed down Lamar Jackson quickly and got the sack.
Speaker 1: That is big time by bj.
Speaker 3: Heinekee playfake in trouble hits and sacked by dj Ojalari
Speaker 3: back at the ten yard line, a loss.
Speaker 1: Of about ten oh. That is a big sack.
Speaker 3: Back to the pass goes Heinikey with time now the
Speaker 3: pocket collapses. He Heinikey sack back at the nine yard line.
Speaker 3: J O Jalari having a breakout game with his second
Speaker 3: sack forcing a punt all the rookie once again, would
Speaker 3: that be denied?
Speaker 4: No, Biggie just tying the franchise single game record for
Speaker 4: rookie with two sacks. And he is our guest bj
Speaker 4: Ojalari here on the Big Red Rage presented by santan
Speaker 4: Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford live from Trophy
Speaker 4: and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson,
Speaker 4: Paul calvec Ron Wolfley And what's it like to hear
Speaker 4: hear them? You know you were there, you're responsible for
Speaker 4: the sacks. What's it like when you hear the highlight
Speaker 4: back in your head?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 8: Just bring back that moment just being able to close
Speaker 8: on a quarterback and finish the play and the motions
Speaker 8: that my teammates and uh, just imagining them jumping and being.
Speaker 6: So excited for me. So that's that's what it brings back.
Speaker 7: So, BJ, do you have a preference in regard to
Speaker 7: which side you like to come off the left side
Speaker 7: or the right side.
Speaker 8: No, I don't have no preference. I feel pretty comfortable
Speaker 8: working on both sides. Coach Rob does a great job of,
Speaker 8: you know, uh, making us be versatile and not just
Speaker 8: being sticking to one side.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's coach Rob Rodriguez, the outside linebackers coach. What
Speaker 4: does he tasked you with from the get go? Like
Speaker 4: if we had him up here, we asked them, Okay,
Speaker 4: what has been most important or where is he wanted
Speaker 4: to see you improve the most?
Speaker 5: What would your coach say.
Speaker 8: Coach, I would definitely say playing with better pad level,
Speaker 8: using my hands more violently, you know, understanding the game
Speaker 8: in the coverage aspect. And that's what Zavin came along
Speaker 8: really really well, going with him after practice and getting
Speaker 8: the perspective of a player on the field. So that
Speaker 8: really helped me create bigger strides in my game and
Speaker 8: be more comfortable out there.
Speaker 1: BJ. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 7: The two sacks are huge, and we know how big
Speaker 7: those are and how they impact an opposing team as
Speaker 7: well leaven their morale. Those two sacks were huge right there.
Speaker 7: But to me, I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: The eight tackles. I like that better for you.
Speaker 7: I was more impressed with the eight tackles, especially when
Speaker 7: you're an edge guy. A lot of times you're not
Speaker 7: going to get a ton of opportunities to make those tackles.
Speaker 1: Why so productive in terms of.
Speaker 8: Tackle Just the defensive philosophy, motor and violence, running to
Speaker 8: the ball and having the opportunity to create cap offs,
Speaker 8: try to go for the ball, create turnovers, and really
Speaker 8: just population. That's the biggest thing, just getting to the
Speaker 8: ball and getting the tackler the runner down.
Speaker 7: How many times would you estimate that you actually dropped
Speaker 7: into coverage in the Slash game against the Falcons.
Speaker 8: I'll probably say probably about ten fifteen snaps.
Speaker 7: Okay, coverage there you're going. How many snaps did you
Speaker 7: get overall? In terms of pass rushing?
Speaker 6: I can't. I can't really say. I'll probably say about
Speaker 6: like ten.
Speaker 7: Ten, So it's almost fifty to fifty with you right there.
Speaker 7: What do you like to do better?
Speaker 6: I like both.
Speaker 1: I like to you like it. Yeah, I did not
Speaker 1: expect you to say that. I thought for sure' all
Speaker 1: coming off the edge? Want the wax that quarterback's back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like both. I like showing the versatility that
Speaker 6: I have.
Speaker 8: It's cool being able to drop and covers, you know,
Speaker 8: opportunities to hopefully get a pick one day or something
Speaker 8: like that. But yeah, rushing off the edge is my
Speaker 8: first love and that's what I'm really good at. And
Speaker 8: hopefully I can continue to have the production off the edge.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, here's your head coach, Jonathan Gannon talking
Speaker 4: about your performance two sacks, a tackles against Atlanta.
Speaker 9: He's been doing a good job for us, you know,
Speaker 9: just like all our rookies. You know, the more snaps
Speaker 9: that they get, the more they see things, you know,
Speaker 9: the going against different guys. What we're asking to do
Speaker 9: on a week to week basis. BJ two, you know
Speaker 9: he missed all of spring. I thought he played violent physical,
Speaker 9: He rushed pretty well. He's playing the run pretty good too,
Speaker 9: So that's what I'm excited about.
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon. Right there, you talk about the violent hands.
Speaker 4: Once upon a time we had Chandler Jones in that
Speaker 4: very seat. Of course, Chandler was seventeen and nineteen sax
Speaker 4: seasons and his older brother happens to be John Bones Jones, right,
Speaker 4: and I mean expert with that.
Speaker 5: They used to work in the off season on the hands.
Speaker 5: I mean, Chandler was lethal.
Speaker 4: But for everyone who hasn't rushed a quarterback like you're
Speaker 4: truly poly pencil neck. Tell us what do you mean
Speaker 4: by the hands and how does that help you?
Speaker 6: Hand placement is detrimental.
Speaker 8: Getting good leverage on the offensive lineman, using your length,
Speaker 8: creating separation are just kind of the things.
Speaker 6: That you need to be able to get to the quarterback.
Speaker 8: Of course, you got to have the hips and the
Speaker 8: good angles and stuff like that. But everything starts with
Speaker 8: your hands, especially playing a run. If you don't shoot
Speaker 8: your hands, the offensive line can get up on you,
Speaker 8: they can swallow you, and of course the hands protect
Speaker 8: you from anything cut blocks as well.
Speaker 6: So everything starts with your hands.
Speaker 7: So BJ, how frustrated were you at the start of
Speaker 7: your NFL career with the OTAs that you had to miss?
Speaker 7: Of course, training cap as well a large portion of that.
Speaker 7: Talk to me a little bit about your start in
Speaker 7: the NFL and how frustrating was that.
Speaker 8: It was very frustrating, especially going through my first surgery,
Speaker 8: not being able to go through OTAs, get those reps
Speaker 8: and be you know, fine tune going into the first game.
Speaker 8: But you know, I just kept my head down, kept grinding.
Speaker 8: I have a great group in the olb room, me
Speaker 8: and Garrett. We're doing our train together. So Williams yes,
Speaker 8: Garrett will okay. So we just continue to uplift each other.
Speaker 8: The team did a great job, coaches reinsuring me each
Speaker 8: and every time and just being patient with me getting
Speaker 8: back to the game. So you know, I'm blessed us
Speaker 8: to be back at this point and being able to
Speaker 8: be on that field.
Speaker 6: To make plays.
Speaker 4: In fact, here's your defensive coordinator, Nick Rowlis. Just done
Speaker 4: that steady improvement you've been making throughout twenty twenty three.
Speaker 11: Rawless, every area of his game is slowly improving throughout
Speaker 11: the year. This past game, I thought it was his
Speaker 11: most complete game as far as obviously everyone saw the sacks.
Speaker 11: He rushed well, but in other aspects and coverage he
Speaker 11: did a really good job getting on the right matches
Speaker 11: and smothering his coverage. He did really good in the
Speaker 11: run game. You know that's a really good run offense.
Speaker 11: We just played with some good offensive tackles and I
Speaker 11: thought he did a good job set.
Speaker 5: And the edges in the run game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt, Nick rolls right there now. For those
Speaker 4: who don't know, your first career sacked a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago.
Speaker 6: Was against Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson love that.
Speaker 5: How cool was that?
Speaker 4: Was that sort of a surreal moment to take down
Speaker 4: the former MVP.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely was.
Speaker 8: It's crazy because Leed just kept telling me that, man,
Speaker 8: this is gonna be a first set, It's gonna be
Speaker 8: a first sect, and it happened. So it was definitely surreal.
Speaker 8: And when I got to Sack, I didn't even know
Speaker 8: what to do. Like, all I can do is scream.
Speaker 1: Did you say anything to him to Lamar? Oh?
Speaker 6: No, I didn't.
Speaker 8: I didn't say nothing to him. You didn't say yeah,
Speaker 8: still respect, that's still Lamar Jackson. But I'm just you know,
Speaker 8: I was just so excited to get to Sackle.
Speaker 7: I just you know, for me once again my rookie year,
Speaker 7: I had a kind of a moment in NFL moment
Speaker 7: where I knew, oh my goodness, this is the National
Speaker 7: Football League and some of the guys that I was
Speaker 7: playing against I was a kid growing up collecting their cards.
Speaker 7: Have you had that yet? Yeah, your short time, have
Speaker 7: you had that yet?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I definitely had that.
Speaker 8: Preseason, I saw Patrick Mahomes in real life for the
Speaker 8: first time, you know, seeing guys like Lamar Jackson, who else?
Speaker 8: Who else that I saw Geno as well, DK Metcalf
Speaker 8: and stuff.
Speaker 6: Just guys like that is just surreal.
Speaker 8: You know, and then you have to go again against
Speaker 8: them and make plays against them.
Speaker 6: So it's pretty cool.
Speaker 4: I mean, when the schedule came out, if you had
Speaker 4: to pick a quarterback you could sack. I'm guess seeing
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson will be near the top of all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely most definitely.
Speaker 4: By the way, for those who aren't familiar, and this
Speaker 4: is really interesting, BJ is a descendant of Nigerian royalty.
Speaker 4: Explain to everyone, you're the grandson of a Nigerian prince.
Speaker 4: Give us a quick recap on that, because it's a
Speaker 4: really interesting aspect to your background.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So my grandfather, he's a very renowned artist, musician as well,
Speaker 8: very respected back at home, and his name is Prince
Speaker 8: Twins seven seven, So he's a set of seven pairs
Speaker 8: of twins. So just the prince word is just a
Speaker 8: sign of respect and you know, class and level. So
Speaker 8: just being able to be a part of his leaniage
Speaker 8: and carry the same blood as him.
Speaker 6: He's very big for me as well.
Speaker 7: So it is really cool. Seven sets of twins. Yeah,
Speaker 7: in your in your family. Yeah, oh my goodness, Fall
Speaker 7: that is incredible right there.
Speaker 1: Wow.

Speaker 5: Yes, wow, that is so.
Speaker 7: Do you have any artistic at all?
Speaker 6: Or all the arts and music?
Speaker 8: All that stuff went to my sisters and we just
Speaker 8: got the uh, we just played ball.
Speaker 5: And by the way, Wolf, because Wolf loves to know this.
Speaker 4: BJ grew up Mary out of Georgia, all right, and
Speaker 4: notable alums of Marietta include two time All Star former
Speaker 4: d back Dansby Swanson. Yeah wow, shortstop, and then Joanne Woodward,
Speaker 4: the famous actress going back to the fifties and sixties.
Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting, But Paula, you got to ask
Speaker 7: the money question. Okay, what was it like to grow
Speaker 7: up in Marrietta, Georgia.
Speaker 8: It was a great environment, great schools, great people around,
Speaker 8: great community. They supported us through high school and everything.
Speaker 8: So that's where we grew up. That's where we learned to,
Speaker 8: you know, play football as well. So we owe a
Speaker 8: lot to Marietta.
Speaker 7: And what was the name of your high school? And
Speaker 7: what sports did you play at high school?
Speaker 8: So I went to Marriota High School. I played football,
Speaker 8: of course, basketball, and then I did field events in track.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, wow? What did you like When you say
Speaker 7: field evends? What kind of field de ends?
Speaker 6: I did high jump and through the discus?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow, that's so cool. Man, see your head?
Speaker 7: Do you ever picked the discus discus up and chuck
Speaker 7: it now?
Speaker 12: Or no?
Speaker 6: I haven't. I haven't picked the one up since high school?
Speaker 1: Out.
Speaker 5: Well, where are you ever going to pick up a
Speaker 5: discus and just throw it?
Speaker 1: Come? Sure? These guys typically have a blade around their house.
Speaker 4: I mean they were breaking enough stuff as kids, you know,
Speaker 4: much less throwing the disc around the house.
Speaker 5: I mean, my goodness, it's like you know.
Speaker 1: Sho shots all over the place.
Speaker 4: Wolf would run for cover when his brother was practiced
Speaker 4: in the backyard.
Speaker 5: That's uh, that's tough.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: By the way, you're still only twenty one years of age. Yes,
Speaker 4: he graduated early from high school and went to LSU.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's remarkable.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, I mean, uh, that's what was it
Speaker 4: like when you left Georgia to go to LSU.
Speaker 8: By the way, it was amazing. I'll pick LSU a
Speaker 8: million times over.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 5: You didn't hesitate with that.
Speaker 7: What was the best thing about going to LSU The culture.
Speaker 8: The culture second none, the people second to none, the
Speaker 8: people you're gonna come across, and especially playing in Tiger Stadium.
Speaker 8: I feel like everyone should go to Tiger Stadium for
Speaker 8: a night game.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 7: When you say the culture, though, you know everyone talks
Speaker 7: about the culture, and I talk about culture all the
Speaker 7: time as well.
Speaker 1: It's so critical tell people why.
Speaker 8: Yeah, culture is everything, the school, the colors, the fans,
Speaker 8: and then you're gonna carry LSU for the rest of
Speaker 8: your life.
Speaker 6: And I can recommend LSU to any.
Speaker 8: Football player because I felt like they never did me
Speaker 8: wrong and they got me, helped me get to this point.
Speaker 8: And there's so many good people. It's a brotherhood. It's
Speaker 8: a real family that's gonna really take care of you.
Speaker 1: On the football side of things.
Speaker 7: When you start talking about culture at LSU culture to
Speaker 7: me on the football side is this is who we
Speaker 7: are and this is how we do things around here.
Speaker 7: That's culture to me. Can you explain that's to be
Speaker 7: a football player at LSU.
Speaker 6: First of all, you're expected to be physical.
Speaker 8: You're gonna play some physical football, and you're gonna play
Speaker 8: against the best. You're in the SEC West, so you're
Speaker 8: gonna be playing against the top tier guys and you're
Speaker 8: expected to perform. Guys who came before you, Joe Burrow,
Speaker 8: the Jamar Chases, all those guys are still gonna be
Speaker 8: watching and expecting you to perform at the highest level.
Speaker 8: So that's really the culture is a complete block brotherhood
Speaker 8: and that's how I'm describe it.
Speaker 4: That's awesome, Tyron Matthew pat P former Cardinals. By the way,
Speaker 4: the number eighteen is awarded annually to the player of
Speaker 4: best reps the outstanding traits of an LSU player. You
Speaker 4: wore there and that's a big reason why you wear it.
Speaker 5: With the Cardinals.
Speaker 4: We continue the Big Red Rage b j O Julai

Speaker 5: We are santan Ford, hurry back.
Speaker 3: To throw lobs it to your side and what a
Speaker 3: beautiful brand by mccride.
Speaker 1: Tyler Murray just flicked the p into a.
Speaker 3: Thimble, looking deep, firing fars side and it's pot inside
Speaker 3: the forty by Brown down to the thirty rt bro
Speaker 3: by Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: Just drop the dime, snapped to Murray.
Speaker 5: And he's gonna keep it running left.
Speaker 1: He's at the five pennies into.
Speaker 3: The end up before the touchdown, Kyler Murray is tacked.
Speaker 1: Com Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3: Restep drop me in trouble, moving to his left and
Speaker 3: he spins away from an offender running to the right
Speaker 3: at the twenty five, at the thirty, at the forty,
Speaker 3: at the fifty and dive to the forty five yard
Speaker 3: line in Falcon territory, a first down gate of thirteen.
Speaker 3: That's the Kyler Murray we remember.
Speaker 4: No doubt, Dave pass really well done. Kyler Murray wo
Speaker 4: a debut eleven months to the day, and on that
Speaker 4: big scramble officially a thirteen yard game, but next gen
Speaker 4: stats say cover nearly seventy yards. He exceeded twenty miles
Speaker 4: per hour, mom man, and that's when we knew, We
Speaker 4: truly knew. As Dave said, right there, Kyler Murray. He
Speaker 4: is back, and the Cardinals get back in the wind
Speaker 4: call and to Booty orchestrated a game winning drive at
Speaker 4: the very end. It is the Ears on the Cardinal's
Speaker 4: Big Red Rage with BJ oh Juli our special guest here.
Speaker 4: All presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert live from Trophy
Speaker 4: and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson.
Speaker 5: Paul, calvec Ron, Wolfley and BJ.
Speaker 4: I know you've been asked already this week, but give
Speaker 4: us your thoughts, your impressions, especially now that you've had
Speaker 4: a chance to process what you saw.
Speaker 5: What stood out the most just watching Kyler Murray.
Speaker 8: His ability to extend plays that really stood out the
Speaker 8: most to me, and putting the ball on the money,
Speaker 8: especially that throw he had the Trey McBrien on the
Speaker 8: sideline like he makes those kind of throws in practice
Speaker 8: all the time. So that was really really amazing to see, you.
Speaker 7: Know, for me, Paul, I still can't believe what I saw.
Speaker 7: You know, even now it's Thursday, and my expectation for
Speaker 7: Kyler Murray was that he was going to go out
Speaker 7: there and there's no doubt about it. We were going
Speaker 7: to see his talent on display. I just didn't think
Speaker 7: we were going to see the four to three. No,
Speaker 7: I did not think we were going to see the
Speaker 7: four to three. And we saw the four to three
Speaker 7: from Kyler Murray out on the field. Physically, we saw
Speaker 7: him drop some dimes, make some incredible throws, use his
Speaker 7: legs of course to extend plays. But not only that, Paul,
Speaker 7: intellectually and mentally, he was out there going through his progressions.
Speaker 7: He was out there reading coverage and making throws. And
Speaker 7: that to me, that to me made me more encouraged
Speaker 7: than anything that I saw physically.
Speaker 4: What did you see him practice in the three weeks
Speaker 4: leading up to the game, Because you know, we've had
Speaker 4: a lot of guys on this show say, hey, first
Speaker 4: week of practice, Kanty Ingram said it. He was autimbly
Speaker 4: checking into play, so he knew that he knew the
Speaker 4: offense even in fact, he'd only seen it up on
Speaker 4: the screen. He never even repped it out on the field.
Speaker 4: But what was it like just Kyler in practice for
Speaker 4: three weeks?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you can see him going through his progressions, uh,
Speaker 8: you know, checking stuff down, doing audibles like he said, uh,
Speaker 8: making those throws and seven on seven I think they
Speaker 8: did a great job, you know, just you know, easing
Speaker 8: him in the first week or so, and then when
Speaker 8: he finally got the call that he's gonna start, you know,
Speaker 8: it was it was like he's been out there for
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: And here's Trey McBride.
Speaker 4: Let's start with first the physical side of it, right,
Speaker 4: what Wolf said and what you mentioned about him extending plays, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that stood out to Trey McBride as well.
Speaker 10: Yeah, just to play with a guy like that who
Speaker 10: can make plays. You know, when you think the play's over,
Speaker 10: it's never over with him, you know. I think back
Speaker 10: to that Raiders game last year where he had that
Speaker 10: two point conversion. It's just he does it all the time.
Speaker 10: It's not out of the normal for him to do that.
Speaker 10: We're always told the play's never dead when win one's
Speaker 10: back there, because you never know what he's gonna do.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: By the way, Trey McBride just had the first one
Speaker 4: hundred yard receiving game for a Cardinals tight end since
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 7: Pipe about that, By the pricking up my thumb, something
Speaker 7: wicked this way comes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they grabs a buck thirty one seven first downs,
Speaker 4: he had forty yards after contact. I mean, we'll get Kyler,
Speaker 4: but we're seeing Trey McBride really blossom. I mean, tell
Speaker 4: us how impressive the tight end has been.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, he's really good. We go against each other
Speaker 8: in practice all the time. He's not just good in
Speaker 8: the passing game, but also in the run game. Great base,
Speaker 8: great point of attack as well. And he's another one
Speaker 8: of those guys who prepares very well.
Speaker 1: That is a guy. I just have to tell you
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 7: I don't think we're ever going to see Trey McBride
Speaker 7: be a guy that isn't going to be a big
Speaker 7: part of a game plan going forward. I don't think
Speaker 7: we're ever gonna see that again, PAULI fact, some of
Speaker 7: the stuff that he was showing and has shown this year.
Speaker 1: I mean, Red C you can see it. Can you not?
Speaker 7: The confidence level this guy has. You know what it
Speaker 7: speaks to Bja, It really does. It just reminds me
Speaker 7: that confidence is the currency of competition. You buy and
Speaker 7: sell performances based on how confidence you are.
Speaker 1: And watching him and it reminds.
Speaker 7: Me of you because this game for you was a
Speaker 7: big game, two sad game for you as a rookie
Speaker 7: eight tackles.
Speaker 1: Man, your confidence has got to be high, and how
Speaker 1: is that going to help you? Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, most definitely. Confidence is everything.
Speaker 8: You know, when you can go out there and know
Speaker 8: that you're expecting to make those plays, that can make
Speaker 8: those plays, you know, it just just finds a way
Speaker 8: to you just find a way to do it. And
Speaker 8: I think that was a big thing for Trey. He
Speaker 8: has always been that threat and h it was just
Speaker 8: a great game for both of.
Speaker 6: Us to display it.
Speaker 4: Trey told us after the game he went up to
Speaker 4: Kyler said I'm killing this guy, and man to man,
Speaker 4: he said, if he's got me, man, just chuck it
Speaker 4: up there. And there was a thirty three yarder at
Speaker 4: the end to help set up the game winning field goal.
Speaker 4: And it was all part of Kyler running the offense
Speaker 4: a brand new scheme. He's never run this sort of
Speaker 4: scheme before, not in high school, not in college. And
Speaker 4: so the question of this week to Kyler, all right,
Speaker 4: you have a game under your belt, just what's the
Speaker 4: comfort level?
Speaker 12: It was new a lot of you know, terminology and
Speaker 12: stuff like that, being out there seeing a certain coverage
Speaker 12: and you know, thinking back to like you know, old
Speaker 12: habits or things that we would do, not being able
Speaker 12: to go to what I would normally go to, having
Speaker 12: to stay with what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 12: There's definitely some old habits that want to you know,
Speaker 12: creep back in when you're out there. But no, that's good,
Speaker 12: you know, breaking those habits, trusting the process, and reduce
Speaker 12: coaching teaching.
Speaker 6: It's been great.
Speaker 4: I mean it's one thing to go after a quarterback, right,
Speaker 4: but when the quarterback both has the athleticism and the
Speaker 4: ability to get rid of the ball early, right, make
Speaker 4: quick reads, quick throws, I mean that can frustrate a
Speaker 4: guy trying to get to the quarterback.
Speaker 6: Right all right, Oh, most definitely quick game.
Speaker 8: A guy who's as evasive as Kyler and the fast
Speaker 8: is definitely very very, you know, frustrating.
Speaker 7: So when you're dropping into a zone room, okay, when
Speaker 7: you're you're you're playing defense and you're in a coverage
Speaker 7: and you're dropping into a zone room, do you ever
Speaker 7: try to let the quarterback see something that is not
Speaker 7: really happening? In other words, do you not look at
Speaker 7: him on purpose yet you know where he's looking. Do
Speaker 7: you ever do anything like that to try to trick
Speaker 7: the quarterback?
Speaker 1: In his rate.
Speaker 8: I want to say I'm that advanced yet, but that's
Speaker 8: probably something that Dennis or Zavian is very capable of.
Speaker 8: For me right now, just getting my eyes very precise,
Speaker 8: and when I progress in my covers, I'll definitely be
Speaker 8: able to do stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And the eyes are so critical when you play the
Speaker 1: game of football, isn't it right?
Speaker 6: Most definitely the eyes are everything.
Speaker 8: If you take your eyes off of man for one second,
Speaker 8: that can be the little separation that they need to
Speaker 8: go for a fifty or even a touchdown.
Speaker 4: Yep, how much better are you in that department? Because
Speaker 4: like when you play a forty nine Ers team in
Speaker 4: week four, right, Kyle Shanahan is known for trying to
Speaker 4: mess with the defense's eyes, right, all the motion and
Speaker 4: the eye candy and all that kind of stuff. So
Speaker 4: how much better and more adept do you think you
Speaker 4: are at this point going into week eleven?
Speaker 8: Oh? I think I'm way better, you know, especially going
Speaker 8: in early in the season to San Francisco, the game
Speaker 8: was just so fast, so many motions, and now everything
Speaker 8: is slowing down. I'm able to process and analyze stuff
Speaker 8: way Fasterler.
Speaker 4: Murray, you know, look, we saw him out there and
Speaker 4: it was mighty impressive. And it's not just what he
Speaker 4: did on the field, but it's the respect he's earned
Speaker 4: off the field in the training room. I mean, you toss,
Speaker 4: you were with Garrett Williams. How often did you see
Speaker 4: Kyler in the offseason since you weren't not on the field.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Kylo was there every day, first one there, last
Speaker 8: one to leave, getting extra treatment, still to this day,
Speaker 8: getting extra treatment after practice, doing the workouts with Buddy,
Speaker 8: continue to do the strengthen and stuff.
Speaker 6: So he's he's on it. He's on it, you know,
Speaker 6: more than anybody.
Speaker 4: And someone asked him this week, are you different? Have
Speaker 4: you changed, you know, as a person as a player
Speaker 4: after going through your first significant injury.
Speaker 5: Here's Kyler Murray.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I'm a different person.
Speaker 1: I think I think so.
Speaker 12: I think just some things that you know happened to
Speaker 12: you can't really control to just you know, either elevate
Speaker 12: you or bring you down. But I think this is
Speaker 12: one of those things. Like I said, everything happens for
Speaker 12: a reason. I think it was for the better, not
Speaker 12: only for me, but just for everyone, you know. And
Speaker 12: I think that the light's different right now, you know,
Speaker 12: I think people around me, teammates, everybody, it's just different energy.
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon described it as a jolt of energy Kyler's return, right, a.
Speaker 5: Jolt of belief. What's it like when you know you have.
Speaker 4: A Pro Bowl caliber quarterback and you go into a
Speaker 4: game when you have that guy at quarterback?
Speaker 5: What's that do for the rest of the team.
Speaker 8: Is very exciting on the defensive end, you know, like
Speaker 8: I said, he's able to extend plays, get more first
Speaker 8: first downs and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: So you know we're gonna go harder.
Speaker 8: We know that the offense is gonna be able to
Speaker 8: put those put those points up, and we're gonna be
Speaker 8: able to stop him. So just going to extra mile
Speaker 8: just to get him the ball back so he can
Speaker 8: do what he does.
Speaker 7: You know, this is just me, Paully and in my
Speaker 7: observation right now, but there does seem to be a
Speaker 7: paradigm shift with Kyler Murray right now. When you hear
Speaker 7: him say the light is different. I love that sort.
Speaker 7: We gotta put that on a T shirt, Polly right there,
Speaker 7: the light is different, and he said that he is
Speaker 7: a different person because of what he's been through. Man,
Speaker 7: there's there's so many positives that can come out of
Speaker 7: that if you just adopt.
Speaker 1: Them as positives. And I think he has well.
Speaker 4: I think he has that appreciation for the game that
Speaker 4: maybe he never had before because he never had it
Speaker 4: taken away from him, and he's learned how much he
Speaker 4: loves the game itself.
Speaker 7: And I also think Pauli too, He's working so hard
Speaker 7: at his craft right now. He was always a situation
Speaker 7: that came so easy to him in the offense and
Speaker 7: the college offense, but now he's blending the NFL offense.
Speaker 5: I think he knows how much upside there is in
Speaker 5: this scheme.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's a big red rage with BG o Joli
Speaker 4: back from Trophy Live.
Speaker 5: We're here in Chandler.
Speaker 1: On first and goal. Stroud gets the snap, CJ. Looking
Speaker 1: scrambling forward. CJ.
Speaker 9: I'm about to cross the five season touchdown.
Speaker 1: CJ.
Speaker 3: Stroud, good quarterback with a touchdown run.
Speaker 1: Nobody is expecting it.
Speaker 7: And he has presented himself as a pocket passle and you.
Speaker 1: Just don't know any run or not. We haven't seen
Speaker 1: him really do it a whole lot. Yeah, he can run.
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 4: Paris Johnson Junior telling the media yesterday that a guy
Speaker 4: played all his years with at Ohio State, even in
Speaker 4: high school together, they're very familiar, right, and Paris Johnson
Speaker 4: Junior is saying about CJ. Stroud he doesn't want to
Speaker 4: run it, but he will and if he does, he's
Speaker 4: got wheels. But you know, and you saw it against
Speaker 4: Georgia in the playoff game last year. He finally decided
Speaker 4: to run it. So he has that ability, but so
Speaker 4: far he hasn't shown it a lot.
Speaker 7: I don't think, Paul, there's any quarterback in the NFL
Speaker 7: that really wants to run it.
Speaker 1: I think they'd rather throw it. Okay, does that make sense?
Speaker 4: I mean, all right, well let's ask our guests, bgo Jalai.
Speaker 4: It's a big red rage. We are live from Trophy
Speaker 4: in Chandler, All presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 5: We are santan Ford, what do you think?
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, do you ever psychoanalyze some of
Speaker 4: these quarterbacks? I mean when you go into a game,
Speaker 4: you're like, okay, I need to know what makes this
Speaker 4: guy tick, his tendencies, what will cause him to tuck
Speaker 4: it and run it? I mean, how in depth do
Speaker 4: you get studying a quarterback before each game.
Speaker 8: Every quarterback is different, you know, every every quarterback has
Speaker 8: different tendencies.
Speaker 6: C J.
Speaker 8: Stroud he's playing at a very high level right now.
Speaker 8: He likes to stay in the pocket, but when he
Speaker 8: does decide to run is a good decision. He's get
Speaker 8: getting good yards and he does have the speed you know,
Speaker 8: to get first downs in an extend place.
Speaker 7: You know, one of the things I love about CJ.
Speaker 7: Stroud is this is a kid that sees the field
Speaker 7: really really well, Paul, and he spreads the ball all
Speaker 7: over the field, doesn't he. I mean I'm watching him
Speaker 7: throw the ball to a number of different receivers, of course,
Speaker 7: and he's done a great job including everybody. And that
Speaker 7: tells me that he's reading coverage, that he's going through
Speaker 7: his progression and he's thrown to the open receiver. He's
Speaker 7: not really focusing on one receiver, is he.
Speaker 6: No, No, He's he's distributing the ball very well.
Speaker 8: They definitely have some good weapons on their team, and
Speaker 8: he definitely does a good job getting them the ball.
Speaker 6: They have a good running back as well.
Speaker 8: He runs the ball very hard and I think he
Speaker 8: helped their offense goal as well.
Speaker 4: You know, he leads the NFL not only in passing
Speaker 4: yards per game, but in touchdown interception ratio fifteen touchdowns,
Speaker 4: just two picks. Here's Jonathan Gannon on the rookie quarterback,
Speaker 4: who forget Rookie of the Year. I mean, he blew
Speaker 4: that out of the water two weeks ago. He's now
Speaker 4: in the MVP conversation. Here's JG.
Speaker 9: He can make all the throws and he's a mobile guy.
Speaker 9: He's a big guy, you know, so he's hard. Sometimes
Speaker 9: you think that you're gonna get him down and you
Speaker 9: don't get him down, and he extends plays and they
Speaker 9: can throw it all over the yard, So big time
Speaker 9: challenge for us.
Speaker 4: Two weeks ago against Tampa, he had four hundred and
Speaker 4: seventy yards passing in five touchdowns, both NFL rookie records
Speaker 4: for a single game. So it is remarkable, it really is.
Speaker 4: When you look at their offense, though, it's very similar
Speaker 4: to the forty nine ers because their offensive coordinator came
Speaker 4: from San Francisco.
Speaker 5: But they have a lot of depth.
Speaker 4: I mean, they did it last week without their first
Speaker 4: string running back, their first string receiver, right their number
Speaker 4: one receiver. So tell us in terms of this offense,
Speaker 4: you can't necessarily focus on one player, right, you have
Speaker 4: a tendency to focus more on the scheme, I would imagine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, most definitely, we're focused on the scheme.
Speaker 8: Like you said, they have some similarities to San Francisco,
Speaker 8: but at the same time they don't do everything you know,
Speaker 8: the same as well. So we're definitely focused on the scheme,
Speaker 8: trying to make CJ make some bad decisions and hopefully
Speaker 8: we can pressure him and get to him some way.
Speaker 7: How about their offensive line, it's so critical of course,
Speaker 7: that to me is where football is still played on
Speaker 7: the offensive line, the defensive lineup, scrimmage, gap, integrity. When
Speaker 7: you look at this offensive line and watch how they play,
Speaker 7: what do you see.
Speaker 6: They have a good offensive line.
Speaker 8: They keep him protected, especially you know he has left
Speaker 8: tackle Laramie Tunsel, so they have a good unit as well.
Speaker 8: In front, they are good at the point of attack
Speaker 8: and run. So for us as just playing technique sound,
Speaker 8: playing gap sound as well, and we have a good
Speaker 8: front lead k Strong, Dante, all those guys are very
Speaker 8: prepared and we're ready to go to war.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you think of Tunsl?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: I mean is twitter handle is King Tunsl He's one
Speaker 4: of the highest paid left tackles in the game.
Speaker 5: What do you see.
Speaker 8: They're a great technician, big as well, good feet, But
Speaker 8: you know, we just have to use our technique against him.
Speaker 7: You know what's really interesting here, they jump into eleven personnel.
Speaker 7: They're in it fifty three percent of the time in
Speaker 7: rundown situation first and ten second and one to six,
Speaker 7: but they throw it sixty percent of the time when
Speaker 7: they get into eleven personnel. They jump into twenty one
Speaker 7: personnel Paul with a full back I might add thirty
Speaker 7: seven percent of the time, and then they pound the football.
Speaker 7: What's their two back scheme look like on tape?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 8: They believe in the run game, and they believe that
Speaker 8: they have to get the run game going to get
Speaker 8: everything else going. So for us is just staying sound
Speaker 8: in a run game so we can get to third
Speaker 8: down and press with the quarterback.
Speaker 4: I want to come back to the size of some
Speaker 4: of these tackles. Two weeks ago against Cleveland, they had
Speaker 4: a guy six eight three seventy five.
Speaker 5: What is it like to go against the mountain like that?
Speaker 8: It's crazy. Yeahd One Jones, man, he's very big. Arms
Speaker 8: are very long. So it's all about leverage, getting under
Speaker 8: him and you know, being able to get your his
Speaker 8: hands off of you and uh yeah, just not engaging
Speaker 8: him because he's definitely gonna engolf you no matter what,
Speaker 8: because he's just so big.
Speaker 7: So I had the opportunity to talk to you just
Speaker 7: a week ago. As a matter of fact, Tell Paul
Speaker 7: what's your favorite pass rush? Tell Paul what your favorite
Speaker 7: pass rush is?
Speaker 6: So my favorite pass rush, coach Rob.
Speaker 8: He's really been working on me with my hands of
Speaker 8: course and my posture. So right now, I like the stab.
Speaker 8: I like to stab and go and the stabbing and
Speaker 8: lyft right now. So those are my two go to
Speaker 8: right now. So you have that, you get that down.
Speaker 8: I love the verbict you know, go in the staff,
Speaker 8: yeah and left now is that different than the long
Speaker 8: arm stab. I'm always a fan on the long arm stage.
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, you got it. You always got to have
Speaker 6: a good stab to set those rushers up.
Speaker 1: It's not a long arm when Paul goes okay easy.
Speaker 5: By the way, Will Anderson, did you get to know
Speaker 5: Will Anderson in the draft process at all?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Most definitely. Will is a great guy and a great
Speaker 8: football player.
Speaker 5: Okay, he's the number three pick overall. C J. Stroud
Speaker 5: number two, Will Anderson number three.
Speaker 4: So we'll see a couple of all time SCC pass
Speaker 4: rushers going to be in this game, right, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: He has two sucks on the season as well.
