What the Cardinals did to 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.360 the Titans in that joint practice last week, what the 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.919 Cardinals did to the Titans in Nashville to start last 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:17.000 season is exactly what we had for basically lunch and 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:23.560 dinner every night, smoked and shredded Tennessee style barbecue. I mean, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.399 what the Cardinals did to the Titans is exactly what 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.720 the game plan needs to be for every single opponent, 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:34.480 what they need to serve up every single Sunday this season, pulled, 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:40.520 sliced and slow cooked in that ninety degree heat and humidity. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.920 Cardinals are back the regular seasons around the corner, and 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.040 we've got the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:52.000 in Gilbert. We are santan Ford, Paul Calvci here, Ron 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.960 Wolfley on assignment. So it is a pleasure to welcome in. 0:01:55.080 --> 0:02:00.320 Rob Frederickson. Rob, are you regular season ready? Fall? Pulled pork? Hey, buddy, 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.440 let me tell you I am ready. Let me tell 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.960 you about three days into last week. I resembled that remark. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.560 I mean when when Ron Wolfley says, hey, PAULI pumped 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.959 the brakes on the barbecue, you know you've hit rock bottom. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.799 That that really is the abyss. So I've been on 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.800 a cleanse ever since. Rob. So, my wife's from Texas. 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:22.120 It's brisket there, man, I'm all about the brisket. So, okay, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.040 you know we're getting ready for the regular season when 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.400 the two worst days of this season have just passed. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.000 Those are the words of Cliff Kingsbury talking to the 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.440 media last couple of days. Of course, it's cut down day. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.520 And just because you make the final fifty three doesn't 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.760 mean you're going to make it to a week one, 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.520 because then there are Moose with a practice squad and 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.760 off the waiver wire and so forth. It's an evolving, 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.240 churning thing, this final roster. And Rob is a guy 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:51.919 who played a decade in league. What's that like in 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.640 the locker rooms? It must be that must be thicker 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.280 than the humidity of Nashville, just hanging over everyone's head 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.360 as you wait for the turk to make his way 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.239 around a locker room. Yeah, I mean, after that last 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.359 preseason game, the next couple of days, it's it's uncomfortable 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.480 for everyone, even if you know you're on the bubble, 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.800 especially it's it's uncomfortable. But even if you're a guy 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.960 that uh, you know, is solidified as a starter or 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.040 just you know, you know that you're gonna be on 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.800 the team, you're gonna be on that fifty three man roster, 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.520 it's still uncomfortable. You don't know what to say, you 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.359 don't know how to act. It's uh, you know, it's 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.440 just kind of hide in the weight room or something. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.919 It's it's really uncomfortable, but unfortunately it's it's a part 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.080 of the business, and that's what this is. It's a business. Um. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.760 A lot of these guys that got released are gonna 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.600 find a home somewhere else based on what they put 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.920 on tape in this preseason. Richard Lawrence is going to 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.800 be our guest tonight, nose Tackle Extraordinary. We're gonna bring 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.920 him on and we'll talk about some of that that 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.560 dynamic and what he and his teammates have just gone through. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.160 We'll get into a whole bunch of different storylines. We're 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.480 going to get into the cornerback room. We're going to 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.400 talk about the deep fence as a whole. I want 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.200 to get thoughts from Rob as a guy who played 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.080 that linebacker spot in the NFL, what he thinks about 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.880 both inside and outside linebacker, the pass rush. But let's 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.720 start with what Cliff Kingsbury called the stars of camp, 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.880 Andy Isabella and Greg Dortch, because Greg Dortch along the 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.160 lines who were just talking about there, Rob said today 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.559 was the day that he could finally exhale that once 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.400 you saw the waiver claims that were submitted at one o'clock. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.680 Today was that's when you realize, Okay, I'm on this 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.679 fifty three and look in Dortsch's case, wouldn't you agree. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.080 I mean, sure, he's been cut five times at least 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.479 coming into this season, but his play throughout the month 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.440 August he made this team and then some oh, no question, 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:49.000 he was outstanding in the preseason. Just did everything the 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:54.600 coaching staff asked of him. He was consistent, great hands, speed, 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.040 route running ability, did everything that was asked of him 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.479 special teams wise, I'm really happy for Greg Dortch. You know, 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.400 nobody deserved to be on that fifty three men roster 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.480 more than him. Yeah. And then of course, well we'll 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.880 let Cliff Kingsbury talk about it because there was another 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.680 Star Camp and when he was asked about Greg Dortchi 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.760 and company, here's what the head coach told the media today. 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.560 All last year on scout team, it was to the 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.479 point where I'm like, dude, you gotta stop doing that 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.760 because we're losing a confidence on defense. I mean, he 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.359 was making that many plays the day and he's just 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:28.839 a ball out, that's what he is. And then my 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.760 big deal is learning the offense and sign out where 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.920 we can trust you on any givement player, You're gonna 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:34.880 know what to do, You're gonna do it right, You're 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.719 gonna be where we expect you to be. And he's 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.919 really worked hard at that through the spring in summer 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.479 and it paid off. He saw the plays he was 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.080 making in the games and he does it in practice. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.800 And you know, the stars of the camp really to 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.320 me were Andy, Him and Hamilton. They really stepped up 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.400 and all performed at a high level, took advantage of 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.080 their opportunities. You know what, it makes sense. It Isabella 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.880 and Greg Dortch really pushed each other in the off season. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.440 But let me ask you this, Rob, because there's a 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.640 question I as Storch himself, and I kind of treaded 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.000 lightly because I wanted to know to what degree is 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.919 he confident he can make all these plays in the 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.440 regular season, because we've seen preseason stars before. If you 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.400 rewind back about ten years, the Steven Williams of the 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.320 world right ahead, I remember the Cardinals. Sure so and 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.840 and he looked me, and you know what, I don't 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.680 think he was offended by the question because he knows 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.560 as well. He's got to prove it. But he came 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.640 in last year week seventeen against Dallas. He made a 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.800 couple of plays and made a big chunk catch. But 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.599 they're going to be counting on him, especially in the 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.520 absence of a DeAndre Hopkins and possibly Antoine Wesley. We 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.440 still don't know with Rondelle more so, what's your confidence 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.039 level he can perform in the regular season. I think 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.599 he can. His game. His game translates in football into 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.440 into the regular season. It just does. Just his his 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.960 out running ability, speed, the great hands, and now that 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.600 he has a better grasp of this offense and he's 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.680 more in sync with Kyler Murray, the quarterbacks and the 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.360 receiving group as a whole um, I don't I don't 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.320 see a drop off in performance for Greg Dortch when 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.080 he gets the opportunity, and he will have opportunity early on, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.840 especially because you do it all. You're right, you have 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.120 question marks with some guys, with Antoine Wesley, Rondelle Moore. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.200 You know, we don't really know. DeAndre Hopkins is going 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.800 to be out, So Greg Dortch is gonna get some 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.080 playing time, and he's gonna get it early. So I'm 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.680 interested to see what he does. I think he's going 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.560 to perform as well, if not better than he did 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.800 in the preseason. And to me, if Rondale Moore is 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.520 going to be the guy who's going to be downfield 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.880 a lot more than he was last year, well there's 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.080 still that role in close offense where the receiver who's 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.400 going to be the Jets sweep kind of guy. He's 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.120 gonna go horizontal and lateral to the line of scrimmage. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.520 I could easily see that being a Greg Dortch or 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.080 perhaps and Andy Isabella with the fourth three speed. Yeah, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.400 I'm sure that because that's a big part of Cliff's offense, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.840 kind of that that behind the line of scrimmage wide 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:55.000 receiver screens. Basically what it is is keeping defenses honest, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.920 making him creep up those safeties and get those linebackers attention, 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.640 and then we'll dump it over the top. So it's 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.680 gonna be a part of a Cliff Kingsbury offense. But 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.760 I am more excited than more so for that, but 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.560 I'm more excited for really seeing Rondel Moore stretch his 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.440 legs a little and get downfield. Yeah, it's sort of 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.800 the equivalent in Cliff Kingsbury using the receiver in that 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.840 capacity you described like the Warriors spreading the floor in 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:27.600 basketball right, making a defense defense sideline to sideline. And 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.720 what I think was most encouraging, at least to me 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.520 about Dortch and Andy Isabella, because you're talking about Greg Dortch, 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.360 a guy they list at five to seven, is that 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.920 they made catches downfield, they made catches in traffic, they 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.079 made contested catches. And after the game, we had a 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.240 chance to talk with Andy Isabella in Tennessee, and you 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:49.079 just the intensity was palpable and Andy Isabella and I 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.360 asked him, what do you hope that you and Greg 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.440 dorts showed? Are we willing to stay in the fight 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.960 when it gets tough, when it get practices, it gets cuff. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.400 On the days get tough, me and Greg were still there. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.360 I think that's gonna go a long way, just in 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.720 football of life and whateveryone going gets tough. Sure we 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.640 don't back down, We won't get back up and keep going. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.559 He went on to say Rob that he's always been 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:13.000 overlooked quote unquote, and sometimes he feels more comfortable when 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.320 he's overlooked, and he said it was his job to 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.600 make it as tough a decision as possible, and that 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.160 he quote came in with a fierce mindset and I 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.120 knew I was going to dominate what was missing to me? 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.920 And he was pretty forthright early in his career that 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:29.760 his confidence was up and down. It was sort of 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.800 a roller coaster trying to determine whether he believed that 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.520 he belonged in the NFL. There's no question about that 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.839 to me. Now with Andy Isabelle, all you have to 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.080 do is listen to his interviews. Yeah, and when a 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.280 players playing with confidence at that position, he's catching the 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.760 ball with his hands away from his body, that's confidence. 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.199 And you saw that from Andy Isabella in the preseason. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.200 Hadn't seen that before. That was one of the big 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.840 knocks on him as he was a body catcher and 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.600 he couldn't get off of the press man, he couldn't 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.560 get off of the cornerback. So he's over come a 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.120 couple of those things and and you know, to see 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.160 him catch the ball with his hands with confidence, Um, 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.840 you know, running running good, Chris Routes, getting a couple 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.480 of pass interferences downfield to extend drives in the preseason. Um, 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.319 you know, Andy Isabella has really grown in this offseason. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.800 You can see it and I hope it translates on 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.959 the field. I really do. I I you know, I 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.240 feel for that guy. He's he's been through a lot, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.800 and and he's he's absorbed a lot of criticism and 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:29.840 you know, some of it rightly so, but some of 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.000 it I think maybe a little unfounded. But um, you know, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.160 Andy Isabella is a guy that you know, with with 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.840 what he has and what he can do. You know, 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.720 you can't teach speed. It's it's just something that that 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.280 you can't teach, and and he has it, and the 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.600 Cardinals are able to find a way to utilize it 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.240 to the best of their ability. Man that there could 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.280 be a spot for Andy Isabella, and as a guy 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.320 who was told in the all season that he could 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.959 seek a trade, that his agent could call around and 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.400 seek a trade, guess what, he might have a much 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.319 bigger role than anticipated, just based on the uncertainty right 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.120 now in the receiver room. We know DeAndre Hopkins has 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.520 gone the first six games. We know that, but what 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.760 we don't know is Rondel Moore and Zach Ertz. For example, 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.720 Cliff Kingsbury saying today it'll be close quote unquote for 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.280 week one, he said the same about Marcus Golden, although 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.240 they do expect Marcus gold to be on the practice 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.600 field to start next week and then you know, justin Pierre, 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.760 they're gonna see where he's at on Monday as well. 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.520 You're starting left guard. If not, Cody Ford figures to 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.160 be the guy getting all the reps there and he 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.680 has started experience obviously, but yeah, at least initially to 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.480 start the season. Look, there's a lot of uncertainty on 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.640 the offensive side of the ball, rob and that's not 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.719 what you want to hear, right, you want to come 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.400 out of out of the last preseason game with all right, 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.959 everybody's healthy, we're you know, Chiefs are on the clock. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.000 We're getting ready for the Chiefs. Well, you know, when 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.439 half our team is in the tub, it's it's kind 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.360 of hard. But look, we got to get these We 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:57.800 got a couple of weeks now, we got to get 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.160 these guys healthy. Gotta get him ready to go. But again, 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:06.520 Greg Torch and Andy Isabella, they're gonna get plenty of times, 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.800 plenty of opportunities where their names being called, especially early 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.520 because of the situation or potential situations in that wide 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.800 receiver room. And you know, with five running backs on 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.320 the roster. Maybe you come out and you run at 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.120 thirty thirty five times against the Chiefs. Right you don't. 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.520 You don't have to line twice about that ball control? Yeah, no, absolutely, Paul. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.319 You know I like it. And we know how important 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.360 resigning James Connor was to Cliff Kings Barrett and he 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.400 was under wraps the entire month August. See your bust out, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.000 James Connor. You mix in some Darryl Williams has got 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.640 to be ultramotivated against his former team, and Eno Benjamin. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.800 I wouldn't be surprised if they come out and and 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.520 it's a run heavy type. I can see it. Look 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.360 that that's us, right, running back room is a strong room. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.280 Get the tight ends healthy, get them up there blocking. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.600 Let's run the ball against Kansas City. Episode thirty eight 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.960 of the Dave Pash Podcast featuring Clemson head coach Dabo Sweeney, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.480 available now where you your podcast or via Twitter at hashpod. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.240 All right, that d line room, Like, who's the biggest ham, right? 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.959 I mean what Rashard Lawrence? Who does he want to 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.640 sack the most when it comes to quarterback? All next 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:19.120 on the Big Red Rage, give the anchors off the 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.320 right side, nowhere to go, brought down in the line 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.280 of scrimmage. Lawrence was there first, Chard Lawrence coming down 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.720 the line. That kid has got a future for an 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.400 and Allen under center, turn give and into the backfield 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.880 and poring down the running back for a big losses 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:41.560 Rashard Lawrence. How about that tackle for loss? You know, 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.720 players like to say that the most football play in 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.200 football is the kickoff, as we say, welcome back in 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.480 here to the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.800 and Gilbert Paul Kelvici. And can we say that the 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.800 most football player in football is the nose tackle? Can I? 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.640 Because if you want to know if you're really in 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.160 a game of football, I mean full pads, full contact, 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.960 full anarchy, I mean, just play nose tackle. Am I 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.920 wrong on that? And I think we need a nose 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.040 tackle to comment on that? And hence our guest tonight, 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.280 Richard Lawrence, Arizona Cardinals. What do you think real football 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.120 does it start at the point of attack? Richard? It 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.160 starts at the point of attack, nose tackle. You're getting 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.960 touched every single play, So if you think you're not 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.920 gonna get touched, you're playing the wrong sport. Every play 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.160 you are touching somebody and hidding somebody. What PERCENTEA plays 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.080 do you get touched by multiple guys? Double teams are 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.760 more ninety percent at a time? Seriously, yes. So if 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.680 you get if you get a single one on one 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.920 monoe mono block, you're like, this is a good this 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.640 is a good rep right here. Gotta make the play. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.640 You gotta make the play. See how are you playing? 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.800 You just went through camp. Okay. Some of the best 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.760 words guys will ever hear is okay, we just broke camp. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.160 So you're done regular season? Around the corner, I mean, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.840 how do you feel? Where do you think your game? 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.480 I feel good? Feel good. It was a successful training camp, 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.200 stayed healthy as a collective group. I think that we 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.760 made some strides. This is our I think, third year 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.040 under coach Joseph's defense, and you know, we know what 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.720 they expect now, so going into a casey we won. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.680 We know what they're gonna do, we know what the 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.680 cause are gonna be. And it's a real good field 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.320 just knowing, you know, having the same system for the 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.800 last few years. How long did it take it? Truly 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.520 now as you as you think back to to really 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.400 know the defense, so you didn't have to think and 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.360 you could truly just play. It took about a year 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:41.320 to understand the ends and outs. The playbook is easy, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.040 but just knowing how to do your job is very key. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.800 Where to fit at and all those different things play 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.000 into it. But it took about a year to really 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.240 understand the full concept of their defense. If you were 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:55.800 talking to a rookie, you know, one of the young guys, 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.640 I don't know, Manny Jones during camp, what have you 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.960 learned about the NFL that maybe you imparted to him? 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.240 Is there anything in particular one or two just sort 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.600 of bullet points, like, look, it took me a while, 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.480 but I learned a B and c about this NFL 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.680 game that you'd be wise to keep in mind. Number One, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.480 take care of your body. That's a big thing that 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.680 the first couple of years I've kind of struggled with 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.280 with some little nagging injuries. But number one, take care 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.640 of your body. And number two, they watch everything you do, 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.280 which is a good thing because you're held at a 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.760 higher standard from college going into the next level. So 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.480 did you train any differently knowing that you've been you know, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.640 plagued and nagged by some of the injuries the first 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.640 two years. He taking a different approach. Did Buddy Morris 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.040 sit you down? Do you guys come up with a 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.640 different strategy? What was the approach? It was a little 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.800 bit of Buddy Morris and also just knowing that what 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.800 were some of the weaknesses that I had in my 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.320 body that I want to take care of. So I 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.080 just focused on those things going into the off season 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.480 and it's really helped out because if you are healthy, 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.160 and Richard Lawrence is our guest, what is your confidence 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.600 level you can be a top notch nose tackle this league. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.600 I think it's very high. I think that when healthy, 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.159 I put on some great things on tape, but the 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.080 number one thing is just being able to be available 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.119 weekend a week out. What do you hope you've showed 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.439 your new defensive line coach Matt Burke in terms of 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.359 your game and your skill set? What do you hope 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.760 you've already shown him? I want to show him that 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.280 I'm a physical player and I loved getting off of 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.439 the ball. Coach Burke is all about getting up the field, 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.960 getting off of blocks and penetrating. So I just want 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.520 to show him that I am a physical guy in 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.240 a run game, and I can also give him some 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.439 push on the path. You know, you talk about getting 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.000 off the ball, and when we're watching camp, we're watching 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.119 some of the drills with the guys who played the 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.720 game right when I'm standing in there with a Kyle 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.160 van and Bosch or Rob Frederickson from from our crew 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.359 played NFL defense, you know for twenty plus years combined. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.879 That's the first thing they site about your game is 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.960 your get off, your explosion. Where does that come from? 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.280 And how much of that is just God given? How 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.320 much of that have you just trained over the years. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.080 I think some of it is God given, but it's 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.080 also been still in me all the way from my 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.080 days at LSU. Coacho used to have a saying tick 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.919 tick tick, get off, So I just think about that 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.080 all the time. It's been something that I'd work on 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.639 relentlessly to just have good good off because if you're 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.840 a nose tackle, to what degree is at the key 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.320 to get that first step and get underneath or inside 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.600 a guy? It's definitely important because these guys hands and 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.560 feet are so good at this level that you have 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.200 to be able to get in and get on your 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.120 target because if you don't, then that's where your eyes 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.159 can start playing tricks on you and you can be 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.600 reading different keys. But when you're toned in on your key, 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.200 that really does help. Hey, Richard Lawrence is our guest 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.080 here in the Big Red Rage for center by santan 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.600 Ford and Gilbert. You met the media a handful of 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.639 times last year, and inevitably it came around to run defense. 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.600 Let's sit zoom out to the front seven and look, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.000 there were times when it was really good and there 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.479 were times where it was a liability the run defense 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.719 last year, and you were pretty honest with the media 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.640 as you look back, what was the difference? What has 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.920 to change this season to get that sort of consistency 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:06.919 in stopping the run. I think that last year, in 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.080 the first couple of years, it's never been a physical thing. 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:14.360 It's always been just a run hidden for twenty yards, 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:16.359 thirty yards and you can do good the whole game, 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.679 but if a run pops, that can mess up your 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:22.240 yard average. And I think that we're a defense now 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.840 that that was number one priority in camp was just 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.679 stopping the run. I think we did a pre decent 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.720 job in the preseason of when we played Cincinnati in 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.400 Baltimore of stopping to run. A couple of runs got out. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.879 But the number one thing for us to be successful, 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.720 it's going to be to stop the run. Because when 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.320 you guys give up a chunk run, I see it 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.040 as a sideline reporter. I mean that triggers guys, right. 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.680 I mean, you guys come back to the bench. You're hot, 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.760 right for sure? For sure, it's definitely something that you 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.440 don't like to happen. Matt Burke, your new d line coach. 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:54.920 You know he'll give us a scouting report on you 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.000 give us a scouting report on him. What does he 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.600 try to institute in that room? So far? Man, he 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.240 is all about get off. That is his number one 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.879 thing that he preaches day in and day out, is 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.639 just getting off of the ball. Attack, react. You know, 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.520 before you react to anything, your first two steps have 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.320
