Speaker 5: here tonight. You're good.
Speaker 1: You're good.
Speaker 5: You need your own heat or anything. Y'all right over the.
Speaker 7: Fact that was gonna show up in a just a
Speaker 7: T shirt ball for the most part, I mean honestly.
Speaker 5: Well, you're no longer sideline strong, like a sideline reporter.
Speaker 5: So okay, you're up in the climate control booth. All right. Look,
Speaker 5: it's our season, Banale here at Trophy and Chandler on
Speaker 5: Queen Creek between Price and Dobson. So we got in
Speaker 5: with a heavy hitter, do we not.
Speaker 7: It's a heavy hitter, no doubt about it. Breakout heavy hitter.
Speaker 5: Well, for you aware that this team had gone thirty
Speaker 5: four years between one hundred yard receiving games by tight
Speaker 5: end until this season.
Speaker 7: Yes, Paul I was actually there or some matter of fact.
Speaker 7: That is right, thank you. That's right.
Speaker 5: He was your former teammate. That's right, it's exactly right. Well,
Speaker 5: the guy who's our guest tonight then decided to do
Speaker 5: it twice in just over a month. Everyone say hello
Speaker 5: to ride.
Speaker 1: How about that?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 5: Trey are you feeling as good as your season has looked?
Speaker 2: How we don't?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, everything's good, man, It's it's been awesome. It's been
Speaker 9: so much fun. But everything's good. I'm so excited for
Speaker 9: this weekend, so excited for one more opportunity. I think
Speaker 9: we got a you know, we've we've we've grown a lot,
Speaker 9: We've done a lot of good things, and I'm excited
Speaker 9: to finish off the year on a good note.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 7: And not only that, finishing off the year on a
Speaker 7: good note, but you're coming off a game once again
Speaker 7: where this team played very, very well when it mattered
Speaker 7: the most.
Speaker 1: That really means something, doesn't it, Tray.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no doubt that was That was one of our
Speaker 9: best games offensively. It just felt like we had full
Speaker 9: control of the game. We we can kind of do
Speaker 9: whatever we wanted it. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 9: It's just fun to be a part of. You know,
Speaker 9: James ran the heck out of the ball. We were
Speaker 9: able to just kind of do whatever we wanted and
Speaker 9: that's when football gets fun.
Speaker 5: So let's see here. Second half, twenty nine points. You
Speaker 5: had touchdowns in all four possessions. You had nineteen first downs, man, Yeah,
Speaker 5: what clicked in the second half.
Speaker 9: You know, I think we were doing a lot of
Speaker 9: good things in the first half. It's just we we
Speaker 9: didn't score the touchdowns. We had the field go off
Speaker 9: the bat, we had it got in the red zone.
Speaker 9: You know, we threw the pick six. I think we
Speaker 9: take that out of it. I think we're right in
Speaker 9: that game. That's a ten point swing there at least.
Speaker 9: Then that second half we kind of got touchdowns instead
Speaker 9: of field goals. We you know, we didn't turn the
Speaker 9: ball over and everything was great the second half. Everything
Speaker 9: was moving, everything was grooving, and we were scoring touchdowns.
Speaker 6: It was fun.
Speaker 7: You know, there's a lot of people out there just then.
Speaker 7: Trey is some pretty boy for the most part, right, Paul,
Speaker 7: He's no pretty buck, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: He's a full on dog, is a matter of fact.
Speaker 7: I don't know if you notice this right at the
Speaker 7: point of attack throughout the whole game, but in particular,
Speaker 7: I would say in that second half, Trey McBride was
Speaker 7: killing people out on the field. I don't know if
Speaker 7: you noticed that, POLLI.
Speaker 5: Well, well, if I couldn't help, but notice the last
Speaker 5: two months, every time you see Trey, you scream at
Speaker 5: him to be a dual tight end. So is this
Speaker 5: where you step in and try and take credit for causing.
Speaker 7: Exact Oh no, oh no, there's no way in the world.
Speaker 7: But Trey, this is something you have talked about. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and it's something you are taking seriously. All we need
Speaker 7: to do is look at the tape to see that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that's what I wanted to be.
Speaker 9: I wanted to be a complete tight ended guy who
Speaker 9: can you know, run and block, can catch the ball,
Speaker 9: things like that, And coaches have really challenged me to
Speaker 9: be a you know, a complete guy guy who can
Speaker 9: help in that run game. And this last game, everything
Speaker 9: was clicking for me. I had a really good game,
Speaker 9: was able to move guys and it was a lot
Speaker 9: of fun. So coaches love that too.
Speaker 7: This is one of the coolest things right here, bas
Speaker 7: and onions, as I like to say, go ahead, Red Sea,
Speaker 7: go ahead.
Speaker 1: And look at it.
Speaker 7: Take a look at the tape and go back and
Speaker 7: watch it, because you'll see not only him as a
Speaker 7: move blocker, right as a move tight end, but also
Speaker 7: of course right at the point of attack.
Speaker 5: And that is.
Speaker 7: Something that you're gonna continue to develop with your game
Speaker 7: and It is the best trend I think of this
Speaker 7: season in terms of the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 5: In this offense and what is happening so well, are
Speaker 5: you gonna get into like the Y and the H
Speaker 5: and the Are you gonna get into all that a
Speaker 5: little bit later? You're gonna scheme it up around them
Speaker 5: eat a white grease board up here. Yeah, okay, all right,
Speaker 5: here's what we'll get into all that a little bit later.
Speaker 5: I want to get back to this game in particular. Yeah,
Speaker 5: what was the mindset in Philadelphia when you know your
Speaker 5: head coach was the former defensive coordinator.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. There's just a little bit
Speaker 9: There's just a you're playing for a little bit more.
Speaker 9: There's just a little bit more out there, you know.
Speaker 9: JG All week was was real timid and you could
Speaker 9: just tell he kind of had a little extra umph
Speaker 9: to him.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 9: So just going out there playing in Philadelphia, we know
Speaker 9: the fans were hostile, We knew what we were getting
Speaker 9: ourselves into, and just to go out there and play
Speaker 9: the way we did to go win that game was
Speaker 9: was an awesome feeling.
Speaker 7: That's one of the best things about it right there.
Speaker 7: It's not just the fact that you guys won the game,
Speaker 7: it's also how you won the game at this point
Speaker 7: of the season right now. And I've been on a
Speaker 7: lot of teams that were five and eleven, four and twelve,
Speaker 7: unfortunately I have throughout my career. I know what it's
Speaker 7: like inside that locker room. And yet at the same time,
Speaker 7: there's light at the end of the tunnel literally because
Speaker 7: you know the season's coming to a close. No matter
Speaker 7: how bad the season has been. The most impressive thing
Speaker 7: about Philadelphia to me was how you guys played in
Speaker 7: that second half, in particular to come out being down
Speaker 7: significantly and coming out in that second and half.
Speaker 1: What was said at halftime? Was there anything said?
Speaker 9: I think it was just kind of a you know,
Speaker 9: JG kind of was like, let's go, guys, like, this
Speaker 9: is what we need, this is what we came for,
Speaker 9: this is you know, things like that, and then you know,
Speaker 9: I think as an offense, we just kind of clicked.
Speaker 9: You know, like I said, we had a couple turn
Speaker 9: we had that turnover, we had the field goal in
Speaker 9: the second half. Everything was just was just flow and
Speaker 9: everything was working for us, and you know, Drew called
Speaker 9: a great game and everything was awesome.
Speaker 7: So when you were down fifteen points right going in,
Speaker 7: nobody was yelling, Nobody was in somebody's face, Nobody was
Speaker 7: doing that at halftime, because I've seen a lot of
Speaker 7: that too. Yeah, when you're four and eleven.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt. It wasn't like that at all.
Speaker 9: You know, I think everyone was real calm, composed and
Speaker 9: things like that. You know, we knew we were we
Speaker 9: were right there in that game. We take that pick
Speaker 9: six out of it, We're right there in that game.
Speaker 9: We knew we were getting the ball out of half,
Speaker 9: so there was just a lot of good things coming
Speaker 9: our way. We scored that touchdown right out of half.
Speaker 9: I think we went for a two point conversion, got
Speaker 9: that as well, so you know, everything was just going
Speaker 9: for us. Tried the onside kick, didn't work for us,
Speaker 9: but then in the long run it ended up working out.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's what John again has said after the game,
Speaker 5: that was by design to get You want to get
Speaker 5: the ball back into Kyler's hands. It's thirty one to
Speaker 5: twenty eight. He takes the offense down the field seven plays,
Speaker 5: seventy yards. We know how it all ended, but it
Speaker 5: was that final faithful drive that Jonathan Gannon talked about
Speaker 5: after the game.
Speaker 10: We talked about going into the game, we wanted to
Speaker 10: make that one had the ball at the end after
Speaker 10: the two minute there. I mean, the look in his
Speaker 10: eyes it was, I said, I got on the headsets
Speaker 10: that guys were winning the game, like he's gonna make
Speaker 10: plays and he's gonna score a touchdown. That's when he did.
Speaker 1: He was lights out, all right.
Speaker 5: So what did you see in Kyler's eyes in that huddle.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, going into that last drive, we knew
Speaker 9: we needed a touchdown, and just the fire in his
Speaker 9: eyes everything we knew we were winning that game. The
Speaker 9: offense was moving the ball the whole second half. I
Speaker 9: knew we weren't going to go away from what we
Speaker 9: were doing. James was running the ball well, I think
Speaker 9: George broke a tackle, you know, had an explosive play
Speaker 9: on that. Everything was just coming together. We played a
Speaker 9: really good game and then you know we finished with
Speaker 9: the ball in our hand. We had the opportunity to
Speaker 9: go score touchdown and give him the ball back with
Speaker 9: less less than a minute.
Speaker 6: It was it was well executed, you know.
Speaker 7: Speaking to that right there, a huddle as PAULI would say,
Speaker 7: right now, do you like actually being in the huddle?
Speaker 1: Do you like that? Because I know coming up and
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 7: Colorado stayed and everything else that a lot of times
Speaker 7: you're up, Tom pal and let's go get on the ball,
Speaker 7: Get on the ball.
Speaker 9: Do you actually like and enjoy huddling? Yeah, I think
Speaker 9: there's pros and cons that both. I really like how
Speaker 9: we're doing it right now. Kyler has a lot of
Speaker 9: control in that huddle. He tells you exactly what he wants.
Speaker 9: You know, sometimes before the play he'll read it himself
Speaker 9: and then he'll tell you know, the receiver whatever he
Speaker 9: wants exactly on that play. So he'll really scheme it
Speaker 9: up as in that huddle as well. So I think
Speaker 9: it's very beneficial. You know, we get things going, he
Speaker 9: tells us what he wants from us, and then we
Speaker 9: go out there and compete.
Speaker 7: One of the reasons why I used to love to
Speaker 7: huddle too is because you could look at your teammates.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eye in the huddle, no looking dad in the eye.
Speaker 7: There was a lot of accountability that was going on
Speaker 7: in there. And not only that, you can share information,
Speaker 7: can't you try it? Like, hey, guys, remember the last time,
Speaker 7: we were third and seven in the red zone downright here,
Speaker 7: Remember what they did last time. I love the fact
Speaker 7: that you can do that. I think it's one of
Speaker 7: the lost pluses if you will up huddling.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I totally agree with that. You know, there's a
Speaker 9: ton of communication, especially the O line. You know, there's
Speaker 9: so much movement, so many different guys. You're in there
Speaker 9: just talking and talking with those guys and trying to
Speaker 9: figure out what's going on.
Speaker 1: But you got to do both. Well, you have to
Speaker 1: be capable of doing both. He gotta do it all man,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah.
Speaker 9: And with Kyler we go up tempo and do all
Speaker 9: kinds stuff with him too, So we're all over the place.
Speaker 5: Look, I didn't see James Connor in the huddle, but
Speaker 5: on the sideline, dude is stalking the sideline. He's mean, mugging.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's just I mean, guys are feeding off him.
Speaker 5: And here's what James Connor had to say after the game.
Speaker 5: Just all the season eyes a Cardinals set on offense.
Speaker 1: Total team effort.
Speaker 11: You know, the receivers and tight ends they were blocking
Speaker 11: down field well but also making plays, you know, to
Speaker 11: keep the chains moving and an offensive line showed up
Speaker 11: all day. You know they're they were sitting a tone
Speaker 11: throughout the week of practice and they carried over today
Speaker 11: and so you know.
Speaker 5: I can't go for a yard without them. Four hundred
Speaker 5: and forty nine total yards season I thirty two first
Speaker 5: down season I two hundred and twenty one yards rushing
Speaker 5: on forty carries. That's five and a half yards of carry,
Speaker 5: and James Conner at one hundred and twenty eight a touchdown.
Speaker 5: He had a touchdown catch as well. How about that
Speaker 5: one handed touchdown catch. As a guy who catches balls
Speaker 5: for a living, what do you think of James Connor
Speaker 5: in his hands?
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, he's He's remarkable. He's a guy that you
Speaker 9: just you never know when he's gonna break it tackle you.
Speaker 9: You you got to block for him as long as
Speaker 9: you can, because he's one of those guys who will
Speaker 9: break three four to five tackles. He catches the ball,
Speaker 9: you never know when the plays over with him. So
Speaker 9: I love playing with James. He's such a such a
Speaker 9: good guy to be around, and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 7: Not only that too, He's one of these guys where
Speaker 7: if you watch him play if you just watch him
Speaker 7: play from the snap to the whistle, he busts it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gives you what he's got.
Speaker 7: If you just watch him, that challenges everybody else on
Speaker 7: the sideline, even in the huddle when you're out on
Speaker 7: the field, but also on the sideline watch him play.
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker is like that, isn't he? Yeah, no doubt. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Those guys are just electric.
Speaker 9: You need any kind of jews or energy, you just
Speaker 9: watch those guys play and they'll.
Speaker 1: Give it right to you.
Speaker 6: They're a lot of fun.

Speaker 5: It's the Big Red Rage, all presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 5: and Gilbert here live at Trophy and Chandler.
Speaker 4: Trey McBride has been one of the best receiving tight
Speaker 4: ends in football.
Speaker 7: Tray McBride grows strong grasshopper near side.
Speaker 2: It is underground bove minutes. Caught at the ten yard
Speaker 2: line by mccride.
Speaker 4: First Cardinal tight end in thirty four years with a
Speaker 4: one hundred yard receiving game.
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, Trey McBride, have a day, baby.
Speaker 4: McBride fighting for the first down at the two. He's
Speaker 4: still pushing the pile. Betty pushes it into the end zone.
Speaker 2: Put it duft down.
Speaker 4: Trey McBride all muscle Fuyer's lap in the end zone.
Speaker 2: It is caught by McBride. Hey, it's a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Big time play by Trey McBride.
Speaker 4: On inside the five yard line by mccride for a
Speaker 4: first down.
Speaker 1: We want to talk about a vertical game, man. Trey
Speaker 1: McBride went up and grabbed that ball.
Speaker 2: That was an elite catch. That was spectacular. What a
Speaker 2: beautiful grab by mccride. A nice catch by Trey McBride.
Speaker 4: McBride with that catch sets the Cardinals single season record
Speaker 4: for most receptions by.
Speaker 2: A tight end.
Speaker 4: His second NFL season has been phenomenal and it continues.
Speaker 5: Pechew Clark was here, he'd say facts. That's what he
Speaker 5: say there, Passion wolbol Montage, dray McBride his breakout season
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three and it continues. One game to go
Speaker 5: and we've got him here on the Big Red Rage
Speaker 5: presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert. We are Santan Ford
Speaker 5: live from Trophy in Chandler. So, Ron Wolfley, are you
Speaker 5: aware that our guest tonight. Since Kyler made his debut
Speaker 5: Week ten, he leads all NFL time ends in receiving
Speaker 5: first downs. He's second among all NFL tight ends in
Speaker 5: catches period and third in receiving yards.
Speaker 1: And it'll block at the point of attack.
Speaker 5: Paul is wolf Like. Is he the assistant tight end?
Speaker 9: That's what I'm trying to Well, he might be the
Speaker 9: run blocking coordinator.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 1: Well, we all know, and I've talked to Trey about this.
Speaker 7: We all know this guy is incredibly gifted and you're
Speaker 7: incredibly talented. Yet at the same time, he's got the ability,
Speaker 7: He's got the ability to be one of the best
Speaker 7: true tight ends in the national Football League, and Paulie,
Speaker 7: when you're talking about guys like that, you're talking about
Speaker 7: George Kittle, Guys like George Kittle, Trey McBride. It has
Speaker 7: the ability, has the talent to be George Kittle, in
Speaker 7: my opinion, to be like him. So well, that's the
Speaker 7: reason why I continue to encourage him.
Speaker 5: And look, I know I've thrown out some names in
Speaker 5: stats here, but you got to check this out. You know,
Speaker 5: the only NFL tight ends this season with more than
Speaker 5: one one hundred yard receiving game, there's three other ones.
Speaker 5: George Kittle, There you go, Travis Kelcey, there you go,
Speaker 5: David and Joku. They're all Pro Bowlers.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: So I guess the question becomes Trey all right, and
Speaker 5: you know, look this is this is a trust tree
Speaker 5: zone over here. Okay, Michael Jordan once said upon a time,
Speaker 5: like the ceiling is the roof or the roof is
Speaker 5: the ceiling. I still don't know what that means. But
Speaker 5: what is your upside?
Speaker 1: Do you think? You know?
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't know. I think the sky's a limit.
Speaker 9: Really, I feel like I can, you know, do everything
Speaker 9: that I've been doing is just kind of a glimpse
Speaker 9: of what I can do.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm a lot of fun.
Speaker 9: I just you know, hopefully I continue to grow, continue
Speaker 9: to keep doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 6: But it's been a blast. I think the sky's the
Speaker 6: limit really.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 7: This is the reason why it's so important to me, guys,
Speaker 7: because the Arizona Cardinals base personnel group is eleven personnel
Speaker 7: in rundown situation first and ten second and one to
Speaker 7: six eleven personnel, one back, one tight end, three wide receivers.
Speaker 7: If you can tell we got Trey, we can line
Speaker 7: him up as our stud tight end, line him up
Speaker 7: and either.
Speaker 1: Run the ball or throw the ball.
Speaker 7: Out of that because forty seven percent of the time
Speaker 7: out of eleven personnel and rundown we run the ball,
Speaker 7: fifty three percent we throw the ball. Figure it out.
Speaker 7: It's almost a fifty to fifty proposition. If you've got
Speaker 7: one guy who can be that true stud tight end,
Speaker 7: it's a huge advantage for any team in today's day
Speaker 7: and age to be able to go three wide receivers
Speaker 7: and still be capable of running the ball.
Speaker 1: Is that not right, Tray?
Speaker 9: No, absolutely, you're you're You're exactly right, exactly and it's
Speaker 9: one of.
Speaker 7: The things that makes this offense so potent going forward.
Speaker 7: If you ask me, especially when you got Kyler playing
Speaker 7: the way that he is.
Speaker 5: Not me, it's okay to disagree with Ron Wolfe on
Speaker 5: this show. See not me. You've got a guy who's
Speaker 5: gonna get like one hundred catches and a thousand yards receiving. No,
Speaker 5: I'm flexing him out. I'm getting them away from the box.
Speaker 5: I'm getting him downfield in space. Get that's okapparation, that's okay.
Speaker 5: If we do that, that's great.
Speaker 7: If we do that from time to time, of course, right,
Speaker 7: you don't want to just do one thing in the
Speaker 7: National Football League.
Speaker 1: You want to be versatile. You want to be capable
Speaker 1: of doing it all.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's hear it from your head coach. Here's Jonathan
Speaker 5: Gann and recently, I think it was yours, truly, Paully Pencilnek.
Speaker 5: I asked him about defenses, how they're accounting and adjusting
Speaker 5: for your production. Here's JG.
Speaker 1: People are aware of them.
Speaker 10: You got to devote assets to him, but without completely
Speaker 10: restructing your defense is kind of hard. So yeah, but
Speaker 10: you see people doing some different things to him, jamming
Speaker 10: them at the line, of scrimmage, you know, then add
Speaker 10: into the rush or putting you know, a safety on
Speaker 10: them instead of a linebacker. Middlefield safety is a little
Speaker 10: more aware of him, you know than some other things.
Speaker 10: So yeah, people are aware of him. He's made a
Speaker 10: lot of plays for us. He's one of our, you know,
Speaker 10: premier players in the passing game. He's had a ton
Speaker 10: of production.
Speaker 5: How much more attention have you received in the latter
Speaker 5: part of the season than you did at the beginning?
Speaker 1: A lot.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's been a lot different from when I was
Speaker 9: running routes week one, uh to running routes now. It's
Speaker 9: a lot different. It's a lot more challenging, but it's uh,
Speaker 9: it's a lot more fun as well. You know, it
Speaker 9: makes it a little difficult, makes it a little you know,
Speaker 9: puzzle kind of to get open.
Speaker 6: So it's a it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 7: It's so amazing. What is fun is to watch him
Speaker 7: after he catches the ball.
Speaker 1: I try.
Speaker 7: I gotta tell you right now, man, I had no
Speaker 7: idea you were as good or going to be as
Speaker 7: good as you are in terms of run after the catch.
Speaker 1: What why?
Speaker 7: Why is that You've talked a little bit about that
Speaker 7: in the past, tell us again, Yeah, why.
Speaker 6: That, I think that's just important.
Speaker 9: You know, my tight enands coaching college, he always uh,
Speaker 9: he made a huge emphasis that if we ever got
Speaker 9: tackled by one person, that that like we're not getting
Speaker 9: the ball anymore. So, so I it was just a
Speaker 9: huge thing. Don't ever let one guy tackle you. And uh,
Speaker 9: that's kind of been my motto ever since. You know,
Speaker 9: you got to get two, three, four guys to try
Speaker 9: to bring you down and and usually uh, and usually
Speaker 9: that results in yards after the catch.
Speaker 1: Are you screaming as you're running? Are you screaming as
Speaker 1: you're running? No?
Speaker 9: Usually yeah, it not much really goes through my head.
Speaker 9: I'm just trying to run from the guys who doesn't,
Speaker 9: you know, take my head off. Usually, so I'm just
Speaker 9: trying to run away from the guy. Usually so Wolf.
Speaker 5: Thanks, everybody plays ball the way he used to cover kickoffs,
Speaker 5: just screaming like a savage down the field.
Speaker 7: I never screamed, pulp, but some guys do. From time
Speaker 7: to time. They scream, and I don't understand how they could.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, here's the play. I like tight end screen boom,
Speaker 5: you just sort of flex out they get you the ball,
Speaker 5: you get some polling offensive linemen in front of you.
Speaker 5: Do you like that play?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I love that play. Yeah, I'm all for that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: all for that.
Speaker 5: You get some of the big guys in front of Yeah.
Speaker 9: Let them block all theough and then I'll just kind of,
Speaker 9: you know, run in behind him and and run from
Speaker 9: my life.
Speaker 5: By the way, in that montage we heard the whole
Speaker 5: push touchdown. Was that against Atlanta if memory.
Speaker 6: Sir, that was against Baltimore.
Speaker 5: Baltimore. Okay, take us through that, because at what point
Speaker 5: did you get stymied and then and then what was
Speaker 5: that like? And were you just along for the ride
Speaker 5: at some point?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 9: So Josh, Josh had told me before the play, He's
Speaker 9: like a Trey, I'm throwing you this ball. It's coming
Speaker 9: to you. Get open like so I was like, all right,
Speaker 9: So I run the route. He throws it exactly how
Speaker 9: he said. And once I caught the ball, I think
Speaker 9: I was like the four or five yard line. I
Speaker 9: was fighting to get in there, fighting, and I just
Speaker 9: I wasn't getting in there. I knew, you know, I
Speaker 9: was coming up a little short. I'm like, they're gonna
Speaker 9: blow it dead. They're gonna blow it dead. They just
Speaker 9: never blew it dead. Then I felt another push, another
Speaker 9: you know, then I'm I'm going closer to the end zone.
Speaker 9: I feel another huge wave. I think it was Will,
Speaker 9: you know, Will Well Will came cro coming in hit me,
Speaker 9: and then I felt that second surge and I got
Speaker 9: in there. I was shocked that they didn't they didn't
Speaker 9: call it dead, but I was happy as heck that
Speaker 9: they gave me the touchdown.
Speaker 7: Trey, When when we're talking about your breakout season right now,
Speaker 7: and it is obvious your talents and your skill and
Speaker 7: it's it's on display for all to see right now.
Speaker 1: But when we're talking about it.
Speaker 7: What does it mean to you to realize that you
Speaker 7: can not only play in this league, you can dominate
Speaker 7: in this league?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it just kind of it's something that
Speaker 9: I've I feel like I felt like that for a while.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 9: It's just kind of good to show people what I'm
Speaker 9: capable of doing. To go out there, to have the
Speaker 9: opportunity to show everyone what I can do, just to
Speaker 9: to be able to do this has been so much fun.
Speaker 9: So I'm thankful the coaches gave me an opportunity and
Speaker 9: just kind of go out there to show everyone what
Speaker 9: I can do.
Speaker 7: Does the success that you're experiencing right now make you
Speaker 7: want to go even harder?
Speaker 9: No, I mean I definitely. It's definitely awesome, you know,
Speaker 9: the success and stuff. But at the same time, it's
Speaker 9: just being consistent showing the coaches that I can do what. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's just kind of who I am there. So I
Speaker 9: just kind of like the same things and you know,
Speaker 9: good things happen so well.
Speaker 5: Speaking of the coaches, it keeps coming back to the blocking.
Speaker 5: Here's Jonathan Gannon Trey McBride at the point of attack.
Speaker 10: He's a complete player in his mind. He would tell
Speaker 10: you this to take the next step of being a
Speaker 10: completely dominant player at that spot. I think he wants
Speaker 10: that to be a little more consistent, but he does
Speaker 10: an excellent job in there with that improves every week.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's the same time, no joke. I mean, the
Speaker 5: Cardinals are the six ranked rush team in the NFL,
Speaker 5: number two in yards per carry, number two in explosive runs.
Speaker 5: Think of how different that is then the DNA of
Speaker 5: this offense a year ago.
Speaker 6: Trey, Yeah, it's a lot different.
Speaker 9: You know, We're we're running the heck out of the
Speaker 9: ball Drew. Drew loves running the football and it really
Speaker 9: helps out with the run action and the play action
Speaker 9: passes as well. So James has been great. James has
Speaker 9: been running the ball very well for us. So it's
Speaker 9: been a huge strong suit in one of our successes things. So, uh,
Speaker 9: James has been awesome and he's a huge part of
Speaker 9: why we're doing that, you.
Speaker 7: Know, hitting zoom out right here in this beautiful part
Speaker 7: of the program. Do you have a favorite play from
Speaker 7: this year? Is there a play where you were like
Speaker 7: love that right there? Do you have one play that
Speaker 7: you knew, oh my goodness, I could do this man.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I think like I think it was that touchdown, you
Speaker 9: know when when when I knew the ball was coming
Speaker 9: to me, Josh had told me that that he was
Speaker 9: throwing me the ball and and then the way that
Speaker 9: that that play ended out was was.
Speaker 1: It was sad play.
Speaker 9: I think it was that one, you know, maybe the
Speaker 9: corner that I caught it when when Kyler I think
Speaker 9: it was this first game back, that one on the sideline.
Speaker 9: When I caught that one, I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 9: let's score. Yeah, when Kyler came back, it was.
Speaker 1: Just, Uh, you came back to the ball on that one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a fun one.
Speaker 1: That was awesome.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there was a few of them that that this
Speaker 9: this year brings a there's a lot of goods.
Speaker 5: So, but when you guys are running the ball, it
Speaker 5: definitely opens up the passing lights, does it not?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Absolutely?
Speaker 9: With with James the way he's running the ball, those
Speaker 9: linebackers have to respect him. They're coming down, the safeties
Speaker 9: are biting on his run action, and then that leaves
Speaker 9: it up for me to sneak in behind those guys
Speaker 9: and for Kyler to throw it deep. So uh, yeah,
Speaker 9: James running the ball helps me out a ton. So
Speaker 9: you know, I help him out, he helps me out.
Speaker 9: It all works out.
Speaker 5: He's had some huge fourth quarters running the ball. True
Speaker 5: or false, you could wear down a defense.
Speaker 9: Yeah, true, absolutely, Yeah, over the course of a game,
Speaker 9: you're running the ball four or five yards to carry,
Speaker 9: you know, It's it's hard to do that for a
Speaker 9: whole game.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what we get into it. It's a
Speaker 5: really good addition to Cardinals game plan. It's on Tomorrow Night, Friday,

Speaker 5: thirds of twenty twenty one and Kyler Murray was a
Speaker 5: legit MVP candidate and when he's been throwing to Trey McBride,
Speaker 5: it's been money. And Trey McBride is our guest tonight
Speaker 5: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Cord and Gilbert
Speaker 5: were live from Trophy and Chandler. So you tell us
Speaker 5: just how is your relationship and the chemistry evall with
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's definitely changed a lot in the in the
Speaker 9: last year. You know, from from last year getting drafted,
Speaker 9: you know, talking to him, you know, the little bit
Speaker 9: that I played little last year and then to have
Speaker 9: the U the connection and stuff that we've had this year.
Speaker 6: It's grown a ton. He's awesome. We we joke around
Speaker 6: a ton.
Speaker 9: We have a lot of fun, and uh just kind
Speaker 9: of makes that relationship a lot better. You know, when
Speaker 9: he's throwing me the ball, I know exactly what he
Speaker 9: wants and he knows what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 6: So it's been it's been a lot better.
Speaker 1: Trey, what did last year? Not to go back, but
Speaker 1: what did last year teach you? If anything?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just a lot of a lot of craziness.
Speaker 9: There was a lot of you know, things that happened,
Speaker 9: but it just kind of really taught me how to
Speaker 9: just kind of narrow in, have tunnel vision and just
Speaker 9: kind of focus on growing, you know, to to to
Speaker 9: be the best version of myself to help these guys
Speaker 9: in any way I can. And uh, I learned a
Speaker 9: lot last year and this year has been a totally
Speaker 9: different experience. So it's been good.
Speaker 5: We mentioned how since week ten you lead all NFL
Speaker 5: tight ends in first down catches. With Kyler, you have
Speaker 5: to earn your quarterbacks trust as a receiver.
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, you know to uh tab that chemistry to
Speaker 9: uh for him to throw you the ball. It's uh,
Speaker 9: you know, he has five six guys that he can
Speaker 9: throw the ball to. So to have him throw me
Speaker 9: the ball to uh, to convert on those first downs
Speaker 9: is is huge.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And then that connection, you know, he's knowing where I'm
Speaker 9: gonna be. I know where he's gonna throw the ball,
Speaker 9: and we just kind of, you know, grow from there.
Speaker 7: When you watch the tape of Kyler Murray playing, what
Speaker 7: did you think against the Eagles?
Speaker 9: I was like, this dude is uh, he was good.
Speaker 9: He played really well. He made a ton of plays.
Speaker 9: You know that that throw to James sticks out in
Speaker 9: me where he was about to get sacked, he you know,
Speaker 9: backed out of it. Yeah, I mean just things like that.
Speaker 9: You watch him play. He's a he's a remarkable athlete.
Speaker 9: He's a guy who, uh, he's awesome. So just playing
Speaker 9: with him, he's another guy you never know when the
Speaker 9: play is gonna be over because he he gets out
Speaker 9: of some crazy things.
Speaker 5: Hey, the touchdown pass to Michael Wilson to make it
Speaker 5: twenty eight, all, yeah, he's got Fletcher Cox hard charging. Yeah,
Speaker 5: as a free runner, he's.
Speaker 9: Just drifting off a little bit, throws it right in
Speaker 9: there to Mike. He's a zero. Yeah, he's he's a freak.
Speaker 7: They came after him on that play right there, and
Speaker 7: I love the fact that he recognized that planet and
Speaker 7: then he threw that thing.
Speaker 9: Sid yeah, which he does all kinds of crazy a
Speaker 9: lot of the time.
Speaker 7: You know, you don't want to see that from a
Speaker 7: quarterback who's five to ten throwing it sidearm. Yeah, that's
Speaker 7: exactly what he did, and it was right on the mundy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I thought that that was my favorite throw from Kyler
Speaker 7: Murray against you.
Speaker 5: So, well, what's your old saying that When the guys
Speaker 5: in the locker room start giving you a hard time,
Speaker 5: giving you the business, that's when you know, like you're
Speaker 5: one of the guys I loved totally.
Speaker 1: When they start ripping you and shredding you.
Speaker 7: Of course you leave guys alone, right right, You leave
Speaker 7: guys alone that you really just for whatever reason don't
Speaker 7: get along. You just kind of leave them alone. Guys
Speaker 7: you love, you just absolutely tear them apart.
Speaker 5: So so, Trey, you mentioned you're avolve relationship with Kyler.
Speaker 5: You guys messing around, joking around. So here's Kyler with
Speaker 5: the media, and I guess he's holding you accountable when
Speaker 5: it comes to your celebrations.
Speaker 12: Kyler his celebrations are awkward and just just like I think,
Speaker 12: you know, his swag will get better as he's keeps
Speaker 12: having success. But yeah, no, you know, tight Ends, you
Speaker 12: never know what you're getting with him. So I loved
Speaker 12: it though, love it. Wanted me to play with that edge.
Speaker 12: I want to play with that ship a little bit
Speaker 12: of craziness.
Speaker 5: Gotta have it.
Speaker 1: He's got a good mix of all of it.
Speaker 5: What's he mean there? What's he talking about?
Speaker 9: Yeah, they gave me a little hard time on my celebrations.
Speaker 9: They said I have no swags. So then the last
Speaker 9: few weeks I've been I just wasn't celebrating. Then I
Speaker 9: just all my celebrations kind of you know. But no,
Speaker 9: he he's funny man. He gives me a hard time
Speaker 9: with that stuff all the time. He tells me, I
Speaker 9: need to, you know, pick it up a little bit
Speaker 9: with my celebration swag. So I've been working on it for.
Speaker 5: Him because I went I team today, all right, CALVISI
Speaker 5: consulting the Pauly Pixien division. I went into the locker room,
Speaker 5: went over to the tight Ends. I talked to Jeff Swam,
Speaker 5: I talked to Elijah Higgins, Bernhard' psycho bitch, and I said,
Speaker 5: you know, what do I need to know about Tryan mcbriden,
Speaker 5: And they said, well, give him a hard time about
Speaker 5: his first down celebrations that I guess, like Elijah said,
Speaker 5: his was really smooth, but yours, once again, was awkward
Speaker 5: or maybe a little too involved. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 5: these guys, what's going on?
Speaker 6: I don't know, they said.
Speaker 9: I get too animated sometimes, so I'm like screaming, jumping, hollering,
Speaker 9: and then you know, they just get up and they're
Speaker 9: so nonchalant. I'm all jacked up, hooping and hollering, and
Speaker 9: these guys that you know, they don't get it. So yeah,
Speaker 9: I'm trying. I'm trying to show them, you know. But
Speaker 9: but it's it's coming, it's coming.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: It was interesting when I scored my first touchdown. I
Speaker 7: scored for Paul by the way, if you were wondering
Speaker 7: right there for my my time year career got at
Speaker 7: the same time when I scored the first one. I
Speaker 7: always love the way Walter Payton handed the ball to
Speaker 7: the official, acted like he had been there before, didn't
Speaker 7: show any emotion whatsoever.
Speaker 1: So that's what I was gonna do.
Speaker 7: And then all of a sudden, I realized, wait a minute,
Speaker 7: I never score again, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 7: I started looking for the ball, but the officials had
Speaker 7: already taken. Yeah, it was kind of a rough situation
Speaker 7: right there. But I had no swag either. But trust
Speaker 7: me on that one.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, there's Walter Payton, there's Barry Sanders, Larry Fitzgerald.
Speaker 5: They know another touchdowns coming they can hand up year.
Speaker 5: You gotta savor everyone, It's right, all right. So it's
Speaker 5: it's all part of a different culture with this team
Speaker 5: this year. And and Kyler was asked about that. Jonathan Gannon,
Speaker 5: manti Oscibord new decision makers obviously, And and here's what
Speaker 5: Kyler had to say about the new culture.
Speaker 12: And thinks it's a big year as far as building culture.
Speaker 12: I'm set and standard with J. G. Monty and the
Speaker 12: draft class. You know they've been They've been great. You know,
Speaker 12: all the guys you know love football. I ask questions,
Speaker 12: extra work, whatever it is. You know, you can you
Speaker 12: can tell it's different and different vibes. So I'm excited to,
Speaker 12: you know, move forward and continue to grow with these dudes.
Speaker 5: I know a lot of fans here. The work culture
Speaker 5: probably aren't exactly sure how to define it. I mean,
Speaker 5: not to get all philosophically here, but what does it
Speaker 5: mean to you? And what does it mean to a
Speaker 5: football team?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's everything, you know, the way that you guys
Speaker 9: carry yourself, the way that you know the coaches hold
Speaker 9: you to a standard.
Speaker 6: It's everything.
Speaker 9: It's it's just the way of life really, And when
Speaker 9: you spend so much time in that facility, if you're
Speaker 9: not doing things the right way, it can seriorate fast.
Speaker 9: So I think the coaches have done a great job
Speaker 9: of laying the foundation, and the players then have to
Speaker 9: build the foundation and build it the right way. So
Speaker 9: I think as a as a unit, as a team,
Speaker 9: we've done a great job of that. MANI and jg
Speaker 9: have you know, gave us a standard and now we
Speaker 9: just have to hold everyone to that standard.
Speaker 1: I remember I had some old coaches. They would say
Speaker 1: who what how? Who what how? Who what how?
Speaker 7: That's what they would say, who what how? And they'd
Speaker 7: say a lot of it in a southern braw as well, Paul,
Speaker 7: So you know, but who what how?
Speaker 1: What they meant as culture? Who what how? Who we are?
Speaker 1: What we do and how we do it? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's what.
Speaker 7: Culture is, and it's everything. It applies to everything right
Speaker 7: down to how you're gonna meet right who we are,
Speaker 7: what we do, and how we're gonna do it. Everything
Speaker 7: meeting room, on the field, practice mentality, this is, this
Speaker 7: is the type of player we're going to bring in here.
Speaker 7: This guy is how we want this guy to think.
Speaker 7: In other words, it's all of that, Paul. It's it's personnel,
Speaker 7: it's scheme, it's everything.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: How important that the head coach holds himself accountable. I
Speaker 5: mean for both you guys from your experiences, I mean Trey,
Speaker 5: because you constantly hear Jonathan Gannon cite himself. Yeah, does
Speaker 5: the locker room hear that?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Absolutely.
Speaker 9: He He definitely makes it clear when uh, you know,
Speaker 9: when if he makes a mistake or something, he'll let
Speaker 9: us know.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 6: But he's uh, he's great. He he has that standard.
Speaker 9: He holds himself to that thing and uh he wants to,
Speaker 9: you know, build this thing the right way as well.
Speaker 9: So he's been awesome of delivering it. And uh, you know,
Speaker 9: as a as a unit, we've done a great job
Speaker 9: of building it.
Speaker 5: Was there anything he was yelling at you about, maybe
Speaker 5: in August and September that Okay, now he's finally stopped
Speaker 5: yelling at you about was there anything he really wanted
Speaker 5: to see out of you early this season?
Speaker 6: Nothing?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 6: You know, for for me is just he's always on
Speaker 6: me about blocking.
Speaker 9: He you know, we'll be in uh, we'll be in uh,
Speaker 9: you know, we'll be in uh an individual and and
Speaker 9: you know he's he's from across the field and he's like,
Speaker 9: come on, Trey, you know whatever it is. So he's
Speaker 9: screaming at me from across the field. He's awesome. He's
Speaker 9: been great. It's just nice to have him out there
Speaker 9: and coaching us like he does. So treat How have
Speaker 9: you grown as a leader? Have you grown as a leader?
Speaker 9: I mean, do you kind of feel like that is
Speaker 9: who you are and what you.
Speaker 1: Need to do?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I feel like, you know, just leader. You know, leadership
Speaker 9: is a lot with respect. You know that you play
Speaker 9: a lot, you get that respect from your teammates and
Speaker 9: then you can kind of lead. You know, last year,
Speaker 9: if you're not playing a whole lot, it's hard to
Speaker 9: respect the guy that's not playing at all. So now
Speaker 9: that I've got you know, playing a lot, now that
Speaker 9: I've been, you know, making place for the guys that
Speaker 9: now I have a say in what we're doing and
Speaker 9: can kind of, you know, bring guys along with me.
Speaker 9: So so try to be a leader and bring the
Speaker 9: guys with me is something that I'm always striving to
Speaker 9: be as well.
Speaker 7: That is a huge responsibility too, leadership, no doubt, on
Speaker 7: a football team, no doun't care if you're talking high school, college, pro,
Speaker 7: whatever it may be, that is a huge responsibility.
Speaker 1: You've got to hold yourself accountable first, no doubt.
Speaker 9: And yeah, and you're held to a higher standard than
Speaker 9: most other guys. So it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 9: huge thing. And we got a lot of great guys,
Speaker 9: so hopefully that can be one too.
Speaker 5: I mean, you're only a you're removed from your rookie season.
Speaker 5: What'd you learn last year from a zach Ertz or
Speaker 5: a Max Williams?
Speaker 1: Would you learn?
Speaker 6: Yeah, those guys, those guys have been great. They they
Speaker 6: taught me a ton.
Speaker 9: Those guys were were great vets. They uh, they taught
Speaker 9: me a lot, you know, And Jeff, this year has
Speaker 9: been great. They they taught me how to run routes,
Speaker 9: how to block you know, what I'm seeing coverage wise,
Speaker 9: all kinds of things. So, uh, they've been awesome. They've
Speaker 9: taught me so many things. And and to to have
Speaker 9: the you know year or two I had with those
Speaker 9: guys where were remarkable.
Speaker 5: How was Swain doing with his learning a German, the
Speaker 5: German language from Bernhard's sage? It is it getting any better?
Speaker 5: Because I think he was struggling earlier.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're all struggling. Psycho was always trying to teach
Speaker 9: us some German. But uh, we're we're all slow learners
Speaker 9: for sure.
Speaker 1: I just walk up to some guy and say the Gates, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just how.

Speaker 7: McBrien, Yeah you did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: The Philly fans didn't like that one at all. So
Speaker 6: that was that was fun for me.
Speaker 5: It was I mean, it was winning the game and
Speaker 5: then they're sending the Eagles fans home and making them
Speaker 5: turn on their own team, no doubt. And you guys
Speaker 5: knew that was gonna happen. If you could take the
Speaker 5: lead and win the game, you knew those fans would turn.
Speaker 9: Right well after the first drive they went, I think
Speaker 9: they went three and out and they were booing off
Speaker 9: to the first drive. So I was like, I was like,
Speaker 9: worn for a This is a tough place to play,
Speaker 9: There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 5: So all right, So McBride is our guest wrapping up
Speaker 5: this edition of The Big Red Rage, All presented by
Speaker 5: Santan Fordy and Gilbert Live at Trophian, Chandler and Wolf.
Speaker 5: Here's here's what you need to know. If the Cardinals
Speaker 5: can pick up where they left off in Philadelphia get
Speaker 5: a win against Seattle. They went three out of their
Speaker 5: final five, and you guys finished two and two or.
Speaker 9: At four and four.
Speaker 5: That is four and four with Kyler Murray as your
Speaker 5: starting quarterback. Yeah, I mean you tell us, is that
Speaker 5: the sort of confidence that can carry over into another season?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: You know, Kyler came into a tough situation, you know,
Speaker 9: middle of the year, and for him to to rally
Speaker 9: and to bring us back to kind of where we are,
Speaker 9: it's been.
Speaker 6: It's been remarkable.
Speaker 9: He's a he's a tremendous player, a great leader, and
Speaker 9: a guy that that I'm I'm thankful that I get
Speaker 9: a you know, play with him. So he's uh, he's
Speaker 9: been great and I think we have a bright future
Speaker 9: with him at the at the helm.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: You know what, honestly, I agree with everything that Trey
Speaker 7: just said right there. Very very excited about this game.
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of import here for the
Speaker 7: Arizona Cardinals. If they could find a way to go
Speaker 7: out there and beat this team, a team that's going
Speaker 7: to be a little bit desperate. Would you say that,
Speaker 7: Paulie right?
Speaker 5: If they lose, that's right, that's.
Speaker 7: Right, And that's exactly Yes, that's exactly the situation that
Speaker 7: I wanted to see for this game. What a great
Speaker 7: way when you've had a rough season, and the Arizona
Speaker 7: Cardinals have had a rough season, What a great way
Speaker 7: to be able to finish it than to knock Seattle
Speaker 7: out of the postseason.
Speaker 1: That would be a wonderful way to do that. And
Speaker 1: not only that too.
Speaker 7: It's my expectation, Paul, the way this team is playing
Speaker 7: right now, in particular on the offensive end. And you
Speaker 7: know me, Paul, I never talk like this, but watching
Speaker 7: the Seattle Seahawks' defense, they are struggling and they are
Speaker 7: struggling to stop the run, Paul. In the last four games,
Speaker 7: on one hundred and thirty eight carries, they have given
Speaker 7: up seven hundred and fifteen yards. It's almost one hundred
Speaker 7: and eighty yards per game rushing they have allowed. This
Speaker 7: is this is not the Seattle Seahawks from my dad's era.
Speaker 1: All right, this is not this right here is this
Speaker 1: is a team that is struggling to stop the run.
Speaker 1: We can line up and pound the.
Speaker 7: Football, and I think moved the football against this front seven.
Speaker 7: That's my expectation, Paul.
Speaker 5: You know, you know what's remarkable when the Cardinals went
Speaker 5: there in Week seven, at that point, Seattle's run defense
Speaker 5: was number one in yards per carry and they've regressed
Speaker 5: almost every week since to the point now where they're thirtieth.
Speaker 5: And run defense last eleven games are given up nearly
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty yards rushing per game. So yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean, you make someone you continue to run the
Speaker 5: ball until they stop it, I would presume, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 9: And the way James is playing, I think we give
Speaker 9: him the ball, we feed him, and then I think
Speaker 9: the way our offensive line, the way we ran the
Speaker 9: ball last week, I think that's exactly what we need
Speaker 9: to do. And you know, and we then that, like
Speaker 9: I said, that opens up all the play action, all
Speaker 9: the stuff down the field. So I think that's exactly
Speaker 9: what we're gonna do and hopefully James can have a
Speaker 9: big game.
Speaker 7: Is there a position that benefits more from play action
Speaker 7: than a tight end?
Speaker 1: No doubt?
Speaker 9: Right yet, that is right, yeah, just because like you said,
Speaker 9: you know, being in the run game, to be at
Speaker 9: the point of attack to do all that stuff, then
Speaker 9: you can sell all those runs. You know, now you're
Speaker 9: not blocking. Linebackers are looking in the backfield and before
Speaker 9: you know it, you're behind them and things like that.
Speaker 9: So the tight end position. Definitely, UH needs a good
Speaker 9: running back to help them out.
Speaker 5: All right, So the offense feeds off James Connor like
Speaker 5: the defense feeds off Buddha Baker. You guys got to
Speaker 5: win in Pittsburgh for Connor. You gotta win in Philly
Speaker 5: for JG. Buddha. This is his hometown team. He's a
Speaker 5: Seattle native. Yeah, and you bet the now six time
Speaker 5: Pro bowler wants to end the season.
Speaker 8: With a doub Of course, we want to end out
Speaker 8: the season with the w. You know, we understand that.
Speaker 8: You know, it hasn't been the season. You know, everybody
Speaker 8: has won it. But we continue the grind, We continue
Speaker 8: to go to work each day to trying to get better.
Speaker 8: And yeah we got we got one more week left.
Speaker 8: So of course he's going to be special to go
Speaker 8: in and win at home one last time.
Speaker 5: Well, if we both remember the game in Seattle a
Speaker 5: few years ago where he knocked out two Seattle running backs,
Speaker 5: there's something about Buddha plays Seahawks.
Speaker 7: Just get out of the way. Yeah, there's no doubt
Speaker 7: about it. The guy is just one of my favorite
Speaker 7: players of all time. And it's because he is diminutive.
Speaker 7: He's not prototypical in any way, shape or form in
Speaker 7: terms of being a safety and the National Football League.
Speaker 7: Many times he's the smallest guy on the field. He's
Speaker 7: not the fastest guy on the field, and all he
Speaker 7: does is destroy you on the field.
Speaker 1: That to me, I can't shout out Buddha Baker enough.
Speaker 5: What about what else about their defense stands out? I
Speaker 5: mean Bobby Wagner number two in the NFL and tackles
Speaker 5: Devon Witherspoon, Right, I mean, here, here's a rookie man.
Speaker 5: He puts some big hits on in weeks, Evan, Jamal
Speaker 5: Adams obviously box safety. I mean, there's there's some names
Speaker 5: on that defense.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no doubt. You know, Wagner's playing really good. He's
Speaker 9: he's been an elite, you know, linebacker for a long time.
Speaker 9: So he's someone that that we definitely got to know
Speaker 9: where he's at. Jamal Adams is on I are so
Speaker 9: he won't be playing against us, but but he's another
Speaker 9: guy that you got to know where he's at. But
Speaker 9: they got such a good defense with so many guys, it's, uh,
Speaker 9: you got to know where they are, especially Wagner. He's
Speaker 9: someone who really comes to mind a guy who's always
Speaker 9: around the ball, always uh you know, finding a way
Speaker 9: to make a tackle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Three pro bowlers on the defensive side of the ball
Speaker 7: for the Seahawks. Bobby Wagner of course, Devon Witherspoon, Jillian Love, Yes,
Speaker 7: Julian Love. This is a guy that is starting to
Speaker 7: take off right here. But they're all on the defensive
Speaker 7: side of the ball for the Bulls Park. Bobby Wagner
Speaker 7: as well. When you watch the tape, the guy has
Speaker 7: been incredible his entire career, a guy that I think
Speaker 7: could be could be a Hall of Famer right here.
Speaker 7: But Bobby Wagner also is making a lot of tackles. Man,
Speaker 7: he's making a lot of tackles about six seven yards
Speaker 7: down field as well. They're giving up yards, yet Bobby
Speaker 7: Wagner is the guy that's making a lot of the place.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: Well you know it's Pete Carroll. After the game he
Speaker 5: talked about how we're not fitting the run again week
Speaker 5: after week. So they don't have a lot of answers
Speaker 5: right now, so we'll see best of luck on Sunday Tray.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 5: You know it's is good, by.
Speaker 1: The way, is it?
Speaker 5: Big Blake tray or Trey mcplay. I mean, if you
Speaker 5: had to choose, which one would it be?
Speaker 9: I'm good for either one which everyone comes out the
Speaker 9: tongue easier?
Speaker 1: Is it for me? All right?
