Speaker 1: Strap on the boots and scrape up the knuckles ahead.
Speaker 1: He got jacked. This is the big red Rain presented
Speaker 1: by Santanford in Gilbert. Harry's Gonna score touchdown. Slam to
Speaker 1: the ground by Buddha Baker Like a torpedo. He came
Speaker 1: flying into the backfield. The rage is brought to you
Speaker 1: by satan Ford in Gilbert. Are you Satanford? State Farm?
Speaker 1: Talk to an agent today at eight hundred State Farm,

Speaker 1: Slash Podcasts, The Rods, Rising Guard, Gilperaturizing Vision, Flurring Rage,
Speaker 1: taking it over. Here's Paul KELVC. Get the popcorn ready.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show, and Ron will flee. It
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far We've
Speaker 1: had at Thursday Night Football virtually all day, just one hawking,
Speaker 1: huge headline after another. Ron Wolfley, keep your head on
Speaker 1: a swivel, because already today we have Obj to la
Speaker 1: oh Man. We have Cam Cam back to Carolina Camden.
Speaker 1: Maybe Cam might get a package against Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I will bet a little bit, maybe a QB power
Speaker 1: and a third and one we'll see about that. And tonight,
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, it is all about the Benjamin's Eno Benjamin
Speaker 1: and his new saying speak so softly and carry a
Speaker 1: big scepter, and we'll explain that coming up on this
Speaker 1: edition of The Big Red Rage. With Eno Benjamin still
Speaker 1: to come here, I'll presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: We are santan Ford, you know, by really looking forward
Speaker 1: to speaking with Eno Benjamin. Of course, this is a
Speaker 1: that coming out of college was not one of the
Speaker 1: most highly touted running backs in the nation. A guy
Speaker 1: that has made his own way through the National Football League,
Speaker 1: a guy that earlier, at least Cliff Kingsbury in the
Speaker 1: Week was talking about a guy that was holding on
Speaker 1: by a thread. Yet a guy that the light bulb
Speaker 1: I believe has gone on. And you know, POLLI the
Speaker 1: way I feel about Eno Benjamin. I love Eno Benjamin.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of Chase Edmonds and Eno Benjamin.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he is Chase Edmunds or we'll have
Speaker 1: Chase Edmund's career. I'm saying I see a lot of
Speaker 1: similarities in the makeup of who they are as men,
Speaker 1: their physical skills, their stature as well. I see a
Speaker 1: lot of similarities between these two guys. How do you
Speaker 1: think Drake Kirkpatrick feels about you know, Benjamin. Has anybody
Speaker 1: checked the twenty one yard line to see what's left
Speaker 1: of Drake Kirkpatrick after he got trucked in Jack stump By,
Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin. As a matter of fact, Poli, they're
Speaker 1: still sweeping him up the grounds crew right there, little bits,
Speaker 1: Drey Kirkpatrick, Sorry, Drey, how about it? Cardinals get a
Speaker 1: thirty one seventeen win at the Niners. Let's see here,
Speaker 1: our guy. You know, Benjamin had as many rushing yards
Speaker 1: as the Niners as a team. He had thirty nine
Speaker 1: yards rushing. The Niners had eleven carries or thirty nine
Speaker 1: yards ball. The Cardinals had thirty nine carries. Four. I'll
Speaker 1: buck sixty three round willfully. That's where I start. I
Speaker 1: just start with the physical beatdown. They went in and
Speaker 1: completed a sweep of the Niners. Yeah, Polly, I honestly,
Speaker 1: I thought this game was going to be decided on
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: You and I were talking about it last week. I
Speaker 1: really did believe that was going to be the difference
Speaker 1: in this game. It was a big fat no contest
Speaker 1: by the Arizona Cardinals. You already mentioned the numbers right
Speaker 1: there and how well the Cardinals ran the ball in particular,
Speaker 1: I would say, in between the tackles, and then of
Speaker 1: course just flipping it over and looking at the fact
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers only rushed the ball eleven times.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you right now, I never saw
Speaker 1: that coming. I never saw them not really trying to
Speaker 1: establish that ground game. Even though the Arizona Cardinals got
Speaker 1: off to a fourteen or a seventeen point lead, Paulie,
Speaker 1: to me, it still was a situation where man, you're
Speaker 1: gonna keep running the ball, right, You're gonna keep running
Speaker 1: the ball. And they didn't. They really didn't. They ran
Speaker 1: eleven times. Well, guess what, you weren't alone. What did
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury tell us this week and this weekly game plan?
Speaker 1: You asked him about the game, and he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I was surprised they abandoned the run.
Speaker 1: Now vance Joseph after the game told us how we
Speaker 1: went with a four four three, And so I'm guessing
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy g looked out there and said, well,
Speaker 1: while why bash our head against this brick wall that
Speaker 1: is the Cardinals run defense and them loading the box.
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals did that stop the Niners run game,
Speaker 1: while the Cardinals run game opened everything up for Colt McCoy.
Speaker 1: And and I'll tell you what Colt McCoy put up.
Speaker 1: And this is hard to believe, the second highest completion
Speaker 1: percentage of any Cardinals quarterback ever in a single game,
Speaker 1: going twenty two or twenty six for two forty nine,
Speaker 1: a passer raining of one nineteen and Wolf, I mean,
Speaker 1: he was more than capable. He did the impossible, winning
Speaker 1: a game for the second straight year after taking the
Speaker 1: Giants into Seattle and handing Russell Wilson their only regular
Speaker 1: season home loss. And Cliff Kingsbury this week talked about
Speaker 1: his backup quarterback. They watch him every day, what he
Speaker 1: puts into it. He's there early, you know, when the
Speaker 1: coaches get there, and he's there late when the coaches leave.
Speaker 1: He's like the only player that eats dinner with the coaches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just cool to see hardware payoff. Man. There you go,
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury and Colton McCoy. Yeah, Paully. Honestly, right now,
Speaker 1: I think I called McCoy and you think of a
Speaker 1: backup quarterback when you've got a young quarterback like Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: and how important it is that that backup quarterback is
Speaker 1: somebody who can be a mentor to a young quarterback
Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray and help him continue to develop develop
Speaker 1: as the franchise quarterback they need him to be. And
Speaker 1: there's no about it. Colt McCoy has had an impact.
Speaker 1: If you listen to Kyler and just how much Kyler
Speaker 1: it defers to him. Colt McCoy has had a big
Speaker 1: impact on Kyler Murray in terms of the intangibles and
Speaker 1: the mentoring. But then Polly to be able to get
Speaker 1: the opportunity as a backup quarterback to go out there
Speaker 1: and play in a division game on the road and start,
Speaker 1: and you play as well as Colt McCoy played, Polly,
Speaker 1: I mean, you just hit the jackpot. If you're Steve
Speaker 1: Kim in the Arizona Cardinals, you're looking at that signing
Speaker 1: the impact he's had on Kyler Murray, the mentoring of
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, and then the tangible in between the lines
Speaker 1: to go out and play the way that Colt McCoy played. Man,
Speaker 1: you just you hit the lottery metaphorically speed. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: guess what, get ready? Cole McCoy might be the guy
Speaker 1: playing on Sunday. It is unknown right now what truly
Speaker 1: is the status of Kyler Murray. There was no practice yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was just a walkthrough today. He was not out
Speaker 1: there during the open portion for media and so, okay,
Speaker 1: what exactly Even though Kyler told the media he's quote
Speaker 1: made crazy strides and quote in progressing from that ankle injury,
Speaker 1: I mean, get ready just in case it is Colt
Speaker 1: McCoy again, And he talked about how vital his play
Speaker 1: caller and head coach was in the process. Against the Niners.
Speaker 1: I thought Cliff called a great game. He got me
Speaker 1: in a rhythm early, got me some completions early. It
Speaker 1: kind of slowed down for me, and I felt good,
Speaker 1: you know. I told the offensive line like, look, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm getting the ball out, receivers, I'm getting the ball out.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hold on this ball and take sacks.
Speaker 1: And then when we did some play action and took
Speaker 1: our shots, they worked, and we hit on a couple
Speaker 1: of screens that worked. And we found a way to win.
Speaker 1: And Cliff told the story when they signed Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: in the offseason and they went through everything they were
Speaker 1: hoping to get out of him, you know, be a mentor,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned Wolf, all these other things you can
Speaker 1: bet an assistant coach. You've seen every sort of defense,
Speaker 1: helpless game plan. And Colt stopped him. And look Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and then I said, hey man, I can really
Speaker 1: bleeping play. I can still play. If I can under center,
Speaker 1: I will make plays. And so he's made good on
Speaker 1: his word to his head coach Jen For me right now, Paula,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Colton McCoy and I'm saying to myself,
Speaker 1: you know, a Colt, how about times two? Can we
Speaker 1: see that again? Can we do this again? Listen, You're
Speaker 1: not going to rush back Kyler Murray. You're not going
Speaker 1: to do it unless Kyler Murray is one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: If he's one hundred percent, and I'm talking about the ankle,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about his body. I'm talking about the ankle.
Speaker 1: If he's one hundred percent, you know what, play him
Speaker 1: because guess what, Paul, that's what football players do. That's
Speaker 1: what professional athletes do. They go out and they compete,
Speaker 1: They get paid to do it. Play him. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's really great if you sit him down when
Speaker 1: he could go out and play and be and be
Speaker 1: fine if he's one hundred percent. Having said that, listen,
Speaker 1: you know what. You're playing a Carolina team that has
Speaker 1: lost five of six. You're playing at home in front
Speaker 1: of the Red Sea or eight and one yourself. You
Speaker 1: just beat a division rival with Colt McCoy your backup quarterback.
Speaker 1: Why would you rush back Kyler Murray if he's not
Speaker 1: one hundred percent? You wouldn't. And I with you, I
Speaker 1: do agree with you. But there is that specter or
Speaker 1: the end of last season, woo mean over this season?
Speaker 1: How you lost five or seven to end last year?
Speaker 1: How you went to Carolina and, as Kyler said, got
Speaker 1: off the bus was zero juice, zero energy. Arguably there
Speaker 1: were worst performance of the year against that Carolina defense
Speaker 1: a season ago. So you're at that point of the
Speaker 1: year where you're eight and one. There's a single team
Speaker 1: with a single loss. It's the Yeros on the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Bod you got to keep your foot down on the
Speaker 1: gas and dance. Joseph was asked about the key the
Speaker 1: key this year to late season success. I think the
Speaker 1: good teams in this league in the second half of
Speaker 1: the year, they don't stay the same they had just before.
Speaker 1: They have to adjust. That makes sense because the good
Speaker 1: teams understand that it's going to get harder each and
Speaker 1: every week. You know, teams have two months of film
Speaker 1: on you, you know, so the good coaches and good
Speaker 1: staffs have plans to adjust before they have to adjust.
Speaker 1: And that's what good teams do. And the players understand
Speaker 1: that the more we win, the hard it's going to get,
Speaker 1: and they have to do more, you know, from sleep,
Speaker 1: from eating right from thirty end, from some better and look, well,
Speaker 1: we don't have time in an hour show to go
Speaker 1: through all the injuries. Yan, But what does it say
Speaker 1: about the coaching staff Vance Joseph and Cliff Kings very
Speaker 1: in particular that they have the best record in the NFL. Well,
Speaker 1: a lot of backups playing key roles. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I agree with that, PAULI. But when I listened to
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph right there, I say, you know what, hey
Speaker 1: don't become predictable, right, no tendencies whatsoever. This is where
Speaker 1: you've got to be proactive when you look at your offense,
Speaker 1: when you do yourself scouting offensively and defensively, you know,
Speaker 1: what can we change? What can we do different? Before
Speaker 1: we sit around and wait for all these other opposing
Speaker 1: coaches to sit there and watch two months of film,
Speaker 1: two months of tape on us, what do you say
Speaker 1: we go ahead and we be proactive and we start
Speaker 1: doing things differently, don't become predictable, don't ever ever show
Speaker 1: a tendency. And for me, right now, what does that mean.
Speaker 1: I look at the Arizona Cardinal's offense and I say, okay,
Speaker 1: put Kyler under center. Mare, please, I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1: I mean, there it is. There's a way to say surprise,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be a little bit different here. This isn't
Speaker 1: gonna be the same old, same old from the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: And who knows, and maybe on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, maybe you're just gonna rush a little bit
Speaker 1: more with four in drop seven, I don't know whatever
Speaker 1: it is. I listened to Van's Joseph and it tells
Speaker 1: me there's gonna be changes schematically, but more importantly philosophically,
Speaker 1: Episode seven, Cardinals, Folk Tales entitled Cards Go Hollywood is
Speaker 1: available on the Cardinals YouTube channel. That's YouTube dot com.
Speaker 1: Slash a z Cardinals a look at the hit movie
Speaker 1: Jerry McGuire and the role the Cardinals played in its production.
Speaker 1: Also check out the original audio podcast by searching Cardinals
Speaker 1: Folk Tales via your favorite podcast provider. All right, Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray called him a baller. Just ask Craig Drake Kirkpatrick.
Speaker 1: We have Eno Benjamin next on The Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford. In Gilbert trips right, single receiver,
Speaker 1: left shotgun, snaff to McCoy, hands off, Benjamin off the
Speaker 1: left side of the fifty. He trucks a dB and
Speaker 1: walks into the end zone. Is first touchdown. You know,
Speaker 1: Benjamin just ran over former Cardinal Drake kirk Patrick and
Speaker 1: maybe put this one out of reach thirty to seven
Speaker 1: midway through the third. You know, Benjamin's a little filthy
Speaker 1: man for the first one and two. First first euchdown.
Speaker 1: I was awesome, incredible to see it. So you see
Speaker 1: no hesitation, you know for the contact, and you know
Speaker 1: he picked his legs that running out of it. So
Speaker 1: a special beat and you get the sense it is
Speaker 1: just the start year Dave pass Ron wilfully on the
Speaker 1: call the Arizona Cardinal's radio network, the very first touchdown
Speaker 1: for you know, Benjamin as an NFL player, did he
Speaker 1: keep that football? Wolf all you betty? Did he carry
Speaker 1: that thing all the way to the sideline? And now
Speaker 1: and now this week, Will he's carrying more than the football.
Speaker 1: He's got a scepter as well. And I as a
Speaker 1: huge Harry Potter guy that you are, Wolf that you
Speaker 1: know you appreciate a scepter. So we'll get into that
Speaker 1: a little bit as we say good evening to you know,
Speaker 1: Benjamin coming off that Cardinals winn at the Niners. You know,
Speaker 1: how's your week, Bend? It's probably been a bloorer I
Speaker 1: would imagine. Um, yeah, definitely going into the game, I
Speaker 1: was just expecting to do some special teams duty, um,
Speaker 1: and then got called into a whole new, completely different
Speaker 1: role and so um that was something just um having
Speaker 1: to be prepared for and be ready to attack. You know,
Speaker 1: how did that feel to you? How did that feel
Speaker 1: to go out there in play in play as well
Speaker 1: as you did? Um? It really feels good, um, knowing
Speaker 1: that I was able to go out there and show
Speaker 1: it I've kind of been working for U these last
Speaker 1: few years. M just grinding every day. I'm putting in
Speaker 1: the work in and out of the facility, so I'm
Speaker 1: just seeing that comes to fruition was kind of a
Speaker 1: great thing. Seventeen snaps and offensive seeing this correct. Obviously
Speaker 1: the most electrifying play when you truck former Cardinals corner
Speaker 1: Drake Kirkpatrick. It's been replayed on a loop on a
Speaker 1: lot of the highlight shows. Take us through it, Take
Speaker 1: us through the play call and then how it developed
Speaker 1: in front of you. Um, it was an inside zone
Speaker 1: left Callum that was the play um, and from there
Speaker 1: it was UM, we had a nice looking block, our
Speaker 1: scheme and nice looking look defensive wise. Um and then
Speaker 1: Rodney and I think also was the left guard Sean Harlow.
Speaker 1: We're able to U stay on the double team, and
Speaker 1: then Rodney was able to pick up the linebacker, which
Speaker 1: then opened a whole um on the front side, and
Speaker 1: then m Antoine Wesley just Um came in with a
Speaker 1: great crack block which kind of set set the angle
Speaker 1: up for it, and from there it was just getting
Speaker 1: into the end zone. You know, talk to us about
Speaker 1: how you played overall in the seventeen snaps. How did
Speaker 1: you play? And I think I did fairly well. U.
Speaker 1: I credited a lot of that's the offensive line, UM
Speaker 1: and and and Cliff as well just for making it,
Speaker 1: um just a lot easier. Just a communication um that
Speaker 1: was going on and um just uh the everything else
Speaker 1: that was going on around it as well. Did you
Speaker 1: have any mental errors, you know, mental errors? No, I
Speaker 1: did not. Um. It's it's crazy because sax was was
Speaker 1: not there in attendance for the game. But one thing
Speaker 1: is details, one thing that we work on, and so
Speaker 1: he was very proud about how details um it looked
Speaker 1: out there. And we've we've had your running backs coach
Speaker 1: on the show on the Big Red Rage, James Saxon,
Speaker 1: an honorary member Wolf of the Fullback Club. So what
Speaker 1: did you have to say to you, either maybe via
Speaker 1: text or on the phone after the game? First off,
Speaker 1: I'm guessing your phone just absolutely blow it up when
Speaker 1: you got your to your locker, right, Yeah, it definitely was.
Speaker 1: What did James Saxon Sadia or either via text or
Speaker 1: on the phone. Ah, yes, it was. It was over
Speaker 1: a text because today with Sax's first day back in
Speaker 1: the building, so it was great to have him back,
Speaker 1: but through text that was just much more of just
Speaker 1: how proud he was of me, and from there is
Speaker 1: just great job protecting the ball and just the typical
Speaker 1: things that a coach would say. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: it's really a situation where confidence is the currency of competition.
Speaker 1: I truly believe that for anybody that is competing at
Speaker 1: the highest level, it's so important for a person to
Speaker 1: be confident. How confident are you right now? How do
Speaker 1: you feel about this game? What did you do for
Speaker 1: your confidence? M I think I've just I've had a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence going into this season. I had another
Speaker 1: year to learn the playbook, another year to just understand
Speaker 1: how the system is as far as the NFL works,
Speaker 1: and so um, I think that that boosted up my
Speaker 1: confidence a lot, as well as just being able to
Speaker 1: be comfortable with being in the same position I am
Speaker 1: in now as far as being here in Arizona again,
Speaker 1: I think that that's where it all starts. Tell us
Speaker 1: about your off season. We're on board with Eno Benjamin,
Speaker 1: former a SU running back Cardinals running back, and you know,
Speaker 1: as a seventh round pick, you came to the Cardinals
Speaker 1: and then you were inactive for every single game last year,
Speaker 1: and we heard Cliff Kingsbury say he had zoom out
Speaker 1: on your stay in Arizona. He said there were times
Speaker 1: last year when Eno was hanging on by a thread.
Speaker 1: That's a direct quote from the head coach. But then
Speaker 1: in the off season you had a conversation with Cliff,
Speaker 1: and then a conversation if I remember right with Steve Come.
Speaker 1: Can you reiterate that, Yes, And it was just a
Speaker 1: lot of what they wanted to see. I'm going forward
Speaker 1: and just knowing that I had the talent to be
Speaker 1: in this league, and so there was times where things
Speaker 1: were very down and there was times where things are
Speaker 1: very up, but being able to keep that happy middle
Speaker 1: and like I said, was just able to turn that
Speaker 1: energy and focus into studying the playbook harder and everything
Speaker 1: else that followed. You know with me, you know, I
Speaker 1: will tell you right now, you remind me an awful
Speaker 1: lot of Chase Edmonds. When I watch you play, I
Speaker 1: see a very similar skill set, I see a similar stature,
Speaker 1: your frame of course, and I also see a mentality
Speaker 1: that is very very similar to how you approach this game.
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that assessment? Yes, I would agree
Speaker 1: with that as well. I think Chase Edmonds is one
Speaker 1: of the smartest people in the room just knowing everything
Speaker 1: that he's got to be on top of knowing what
Speaker 1: he's got to do and stuff like that. So that's
Speaker 1: things that I try to watch him there, and then
Speaker 1: just the way he applies to him and takes it
Speaker 1: onto the field as well. Well. Wolf if confidence is key,
Speaker 1: I mean, think of what, oh, I don't know. Getting
Speaker 1: nominated and featured on Angry Runs and NFL Network with
Speaker 1: host Kyle Brent might do for a guy, because you know,
Speaker 1: if you've been busy this week and you happen to
Speaker 1: miss it, I mean, you know, Benjamin got a lot
Speaker 1: of airtime an NFL Network. Here's a clip, it's a
Speaker 1: weekly edition. James Connor was featured earlier this year Angry
Speaker 1: Runs with Kyle Brand on NFL Network Rolling Angry Right,
Speaker 1: James Connor won a week one. It's gonna be James
Speaker 1: Connor again, right, Eno, Benjamin say it again with Ben Eno.
Speaker 1: Benjamin Eno. Eno does not starting for anything. He has
Speaker 1: no middle name. Is why we do it? Oh that
Speaker 1: gets me out of bend in the morning. And guys, boom,
Speaker 1: this thing's going to the desert. Two running backs with
Speaker 1: the Cardinals who have a scepter. We got Connor and
Speaker 1: we got learned his name Eno Alson been one more time, Shady.
Speaker 1: I love it, Adam Peter excellent. If you want this thing,
Speaker 1: if you want, you know where to get it. Tapped
Speaker 1: out Connor and take it. Angry runs Boom. See you
Speaker 1: next week. I thought I was up. I mean wolf,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals can match that energy on Sunday the Panthers
Speaker 1: are in trouble. You give me Lashawn McCoy. Shady McCoy
Speaker 1: was on set. He was he was given your props. Man,
Speaker 1: what was that like? You know when you saw that yourself.
Speaker 1: It was a great feeling because it's funny because I've
Speaker 1: seen de scepter and James's locker, but I actually never
Speaker 1: knew what it was and still coming to this day,
Speaker 1: um and just not finding out. That is a pretty
Speaker 1: unique award to be nominated for Destin. Just remember, BALI,
Speaker 1: it's not about Harry Butter. I'm a Tolkien guy, Okay,
Speaker 1: the scepter. I'm a Tolkien guy, all right, not Harry Botter.
Speaker 1: All right, boy. Hey, you know, as you saw on
Speaker 1: Cardinals social media, this afternoon he arrived in the mail
Speaker 1: from New York, And so what is it like to
Speaker 1: hold and wield decepter? You know, it's actually got some
Speaker 1: weight to it. It's very much heavier than I thought. Actually,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool right there. You know. So look at
Speaker 1: yourself and tell me what do you got to work on?
Speaker 1: What do you think you have to work on in
Speaker 1: regard to your game the most, I would say, Um,
Speaker 1: you can never be more detailed than ever. So that's
Speaker 1: one thing that's always my focus. Um. Just as far
Speaker 1: as where I line up on the field, Um, just
Speaker 1: how deep I am in the back de and things
Speaker 1: like that. The little things, um, are the things that
Speaker 1: you've always got to focus on. Well, what do you
Speaker 1: think people are sleeping on in your game? Way? Did
Speaker 1: we see it on the twenty one yard touchdown run?
Speaker 1: Is it your ability to break tackles? You tell us
Speaker 1: what do you hope you show by the end of
Speaker 1: this season. I think for me, um, it's just going
Speaker 1: out there and just hopefully helping finding a role that
Speaker 1: I could help this team win games in the future
Speaker 1: is my thing. I got two questions for you, you you
Speaker 1: know right here at number one, how's that locker room.
Speaker 1: What's what's it like to be inside that locker room
Speaker 1: right now? And part two would be who do you
Speaker 1: hang with UM that locker room? U. There's definitely UM.
Speaker 1: I would say a lot of excitement going on as
Speaker 1: well as UM. A lot of people being focused and
Speaker 1: in that locker room. I also would say there's a
Speaker 1: lot of commodity in there. Not too many people leave
Speaker 1: the building when there's a lust of time. Everyone's in
Speaker 1: the locker room or just anywhere in the building, either
Speaker 1: conversing with each other or anything like that. I would
Speaker 1: say this team is really UM and pretty tight knit honestly,
Speaker 1: UM and guys that I like to be around. UM
Speaker 1: as James Connor. He's a vet guy who's been doing
Speaker 1: doing that at a high level for some time now,
Speaker 1: so I've been kind of trying to stick and follow
Speaker 1: behind him as well as I have a good relationship
Speaker 1: with Brian Murphy as well. I know Isaiah seven on
Speaker 1: the defense. It's very cool. I'll tell you what you
Speaker 1: talk about feeding off energy. I mean James Connor, Matt Goodness,
Speaker 1: he had that first touchdown run at the Niners. He
Speaker 1: comes to the sideline and he's just yelling at anybody
Speaker 1: who would listen, y'all with me, y'all with me, sort
Speaker 1: of like, you know, I'm putting it out there and
Speaker 1: I expect everyone to follow. He really is a catalyst
Speaker 1: on game day, isn't he? You know? Yes, he's very
Speaker 1: vocal on the sideline and he's very positive. Um. He's
Speaker 1: always trying to get the best out of anyone who
Speaker 1: he comes in contact with, whether that mean whether that
Speaker 1: may be him hitting you, him just motivating you, him
Speaker 1: yelling at you, or anything. James is always a guy
Speaker 1: who comes with high energy. He calls it. He calls
Speaker 1: it will bullyball, bulleyball. And here's what he had to
Speaker 1: say this week about you know, Benjamin and just his
Speaker 1: work ethic. You know, is uh this special talent Like
Speaker 1: we see some of the jump cuts that he makes,
Speaker 1: some practices and his acceleration. You know, he has all
Speaker 1: the talent in the world. So UM, putting it together,
Speaker 1: being a complete player, that's what he's doing. You know.
Speaker 1: That's why I feel like I'm helping him with that
Speaker 1: all the other rbs. You know, you can you can
Speaker 1: see the potential in him. How important is it to
Speaker 1: have different type running backs for a defense? That can
Speaker 1: present different challenges. You know, Um, I think, um it
Speaker 1: leaves the defense not knowing what to do when you've
Speaker 1: got two different I guess you would say skill set
Speaker 1: types of backs that you've got to work with. So
Speaker 1: just being able to have a change of pace like that,
Speaker 1: I would say always keeps the defense on their heels.
Speaker 1: Look at this offense in the National Football League and
Speaker 1: compare it to the offense that you knew in college.
Speaker 1: How difficult was the transition coming from college? Honestly, I
Speaker 1: would tell you it's very much similar, just as far
Speaker 1: as the spread and the uniqueness of the offense as
Speaker 1: to kind of the Texas high school football thing that
Speaker 1: I was seeing there and then that going into college
Speaker 1: as well and now seeing it here at a NFL level,
Speaker 1: It's it's a bit similar. It's definitely different, but it's
Speaker 1: a bit similar, and I think that as well has
Speaker 1: kind of helped me progress on the field. You look
Speaker 1: at Enos high school numbers wolf the ridiculous, I mean
Speaker 1: almost absurd, like it's a typo. Okay, and Kyla Mari
Speaker 1: said this week that he followed you know, Benjamin's career
Speaker 1: through Texas high school football will continue with a Cardinals
Speaker 1: running back as we keep going here on the big
Speaker 1: red rage presented by Satan forward in Gilbert hand off
Speaker 1: Connor off the right side, he breaks the tackle at
Speaker 1: the ten to the five and end of the end
Speaker 1: zone for the touchdown James Conner from thirteen yards out
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals strike first here in Santa Clara. A
Speaker 1: great bread by James Connor, touchdown and the bloody nose
Speaker 1: snapped the McCoy and off Connor up the middle plows
Speaker 1: forward into the end zone for the touchdown. Second of
Speaker 1: the day for James Conner. Lower the plow and hit
Speaker 1: the gasp baby snap to McCoy in trouble as he
Speaker 1: backs up and it's a screen to the right to Connery.
Speaker 1: Cottered at the forty, turns right to the thirty back
Speaker 1: to the left of the twenty Connor to the ten
Speaker 1: to the five and end of the end zone of
Speaker 1: the touchdown. James Connor with his third touchdown of the day,
Speaker 1: this one through the air, and the Cardinals leaded three
Speaker 1: to seven and a much later will be thirty one
Speaker 1: seven at the forty nine ers Cardinals complete the season
Speaker 1: sweep of their division rival. That would be your NFL
Speaker 1: leader in touchdowns James Conner, he has eleven Now Wolf
Speaker 1: after a three touchdown game one hundred and seventy three
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage. And this is just more of an observation. Wolf,
Speaker 1: as two guys who have seen every snap of every game,
Speaker 1: and we've been on the road with the Cardinals this year.
Speaker 1: There's probably an analytic out there, but I don't feel
Speaker 1: like looking it up hashtag no math. Has James Conner
Speaker 1: gone down on first contact all season? Man? Really, Paul,
Speaker 1: that is a great question to ask right there. I
Speaker 1: my goodness, I have no idea. I'm sure you know
Speaker 1: the answer you asked it. No, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: the thirty you know, Benjamin, Let's let's bring back in
Speaker 1: the guy who's in the running back room. You know
Speaker 1: what says you about that James Conner question. Honestly, I'm wondering.
Speaker 1: And you know what, the offensive lineman they love that
Speaker 1: when a guy doesn't go down on first contact, I
Speaker 1: would say, would say his percentage is very high. Um,
Speaker 1: he's a guy who likes contact and he initiates contact
Speaker 1: as well. Um, so there's a very little chance that
Speaker 1: James Connor is going down on first contact. And so
Speaker 1: You know, when you look at the Carolina Panthers and
Speaker 1: you watch these guys on tay, but what are you
Speaker 1: seeing from their defense? Generally speaking? When I say the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers defense, what do you think of? They are
Speaker 1: a very physical, fast team up front. They have Derek
Speaker 1: Brown's Brian Brown's day. They also even have Hassan Riddick now,
Speaker 1: so they have a more than capable group of guys
Speaker 1: who are love getting after and getting in the backfield.
Speaker 1: How much could you guys take from last year's loss
Speaker 1: at Carolina, especially when Kyler said this week you know
Speaker 1: what the real problem there is we had no energy,
Speaker 1: no juice, and it's just a weird game a year ago.
Speaker 1: Do you take much from that film? I think um
Speaker 1: Kyler said said it, and I think now just more
Speaker 1: so's our focus moving forward and just finding the right
Speaker 1: pieces and getting the job done when it comes to
Speaker 1: this weekend, you know, can you give us a scouting
Speaker 1: report on this defense? Schematically? As a guy that no
Speaker 1: longer gets the opportunity to sit in a meeting room
Speaker 1: and listen to people talk about the beautiful blood sport
Speaker 1: and the schemes that happened right now, can you give
Speaker 1: us a scouting group board on the Carolina Panthers in
Speaker 1: what kind of defense are run? They're a four down
Speaker 1: team front. They also could get NF five down and
Speaker 1: staying that and play that very well. And they also
Speaker 1: love bringing down a low safety and so so that's
Speaker 1: one thing just as far as running the ball and
Speaker 1: even in pass detection that you've got to be looking
Speaker 1: out for. You know, the Cardinals just ran for a
Speaker 1: buck sixty three at the forty nine ers. That's over
Speaker 1: four yards a carry. I think it's six times now
Speaker 1: in a cliff Kingsbury and it's two and a half
Speaker 1: seasons the Cardinals have run for two hundred plus yards.
Speaker 1: Are you guys getting more respecting our teams loading the
Speaker 1: box against the Cardinals offense or are they load to
Speaker 1: do that with all the weapons on the outside. I
Speaker 1: think you said it's there. Um, I think with loading
Speaker 1: the box and leaves too many people on the receiving
Speaker 1: and with a very high opportunity of making reception one
Speaker 1: on one. You know, do you expect them to play
Speaker 1: with two safeties high in this situation if in fact
Speaker 1: you've got you've got DeAndre Hopkins, if he's gonna play
Speaker 1: and maybe a J. Green, Now is he going to
Speaker 1: play as well? If in fact, you have your stable
Speaker 1: of receivers out there, would you expect them to play
Speaker 1: more too? Safeties high I honestly can tell you that
Speaker 1: I think they are a team that they're gonna do
Speaker 1: what they do schematically and what they do best, not
Speaker 1: necessarily change it up too much too as far as
Speaker 1: what we're doing. But they're gonna go ahead and go
Speaker 1: with their game clack well. And here's the thing. That
Speaker 1: offensive line, we know, it's a deep room, and it's
Speaker 1: a good thing because you're tracking to have your seventh
Speaker 1: different starting offensive line combination on Sunday based on how
Speaker 1: the injuries go. And you tell us, I mean you're
Speaker 1: running behind these guys. What do you make of just
Speaker 1: the depth and all the moving parts up front? So
Speaker 1: far this year, um I think they're doing a very
Speaker 1: good job filling in. Um I was running with a
Speaker 1: lot of those guys during the preseason and even in
Speaker 1: training camp, and so um I was able to get
Speaker 1: a good fill on those guys. And just the fact
Speaker 1: now that they're they've moved up and they've been able
Speaker 1: to keep that and keep it going and help us
Speaker 1: win some games is a great feeling because after the
Speaker 1: win at the Niners, guys, here's Cliff Kingsbury talking about
Speaker 1: the return of Rodney Hudson Wolf. If you want xs
Speaker 1: and oaths, you want Rodney Hudson. And here was the
Speaker 1: head coach, Cliff Kingsbury getting Rodney back the way he
Speaker 1: leads that that offensive line group in the push, how
Speaker 1: stout he isn't up front, you know, had some other
Speaker 1: guys go down in that line and the usual suspects
Speaker 1: step back up and kept a Roland. So it was
Speaker 1: a total group effort. That group up front really played well.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, if they just keep shuffling the cards
Speaker 1: up front and they keep producing, Yeah, you know, that
Speaker 1: really is not too easy. That's not an easy thing
Speaker 1: to do because so much of the time you're trying
Speaker 1: to create the chemistry between five guys up there, and
Speaker 1: when the pieces keep changing. It really is a testament
Speaker 1: to the job that Sean Coogler is really done with
Speaker 1: that offensive line. Yeah, that I would say, And also
Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson as well really helps out right here. As
Speaker 1: far as Hassan Riddick goes, you know, what are you
Speaker 1: seeing from Hassan specifically on tape. He's playing at a
Speaker 1: high level right now. He's getting in the backfill again
Speaker 1: into the quarterback. I also see him dropping out and
Speaker 1: covering receivers. So he's playing at all high level currently
Speaker 1: and I think Carolina was a great place round. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's in the top six right now and Saxon the
Speaker 1: NFL is right behind Marcus Colton. He has eight and
Speaker 1: a half. Anything you read about the Panzers, they call
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick the most consistent playmaker on defense for Carolina
Speaker 1: all year long. Um, you know what about this week
Speaker 1: and you guys had the walkthrough on Wednesday and we're
Speaker 1: on board with you know, Benjamin Cardinals running back. You know,
Speaker 1: tell us about how Cliff Kingsbury is approaching practice this week.
Speaker 1: He mentioned that that's a change from twenty twenty, that
Speaker 1: they looked at the way things went in two thou twenty.
Speaker 1: They said, you know what, those Wednesday practices, Maybe we're
Speaker 1: a little too intense. Maybe it had something to do
Speaker 1: with the second half of last season, and so he's
Speaker 1: changed things up this year. You tell us how that's
Speaker 1: gone from the player's perspective. Um, yeah, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: exactly what I was the thought process behind it, But
Speaker 1: I feel like speaking for players, it's very more comforting
Speaker 1: on the body. I would say like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people down, there's a lot of people not able
Speaker 1: to go currently, and so injuries have been playing a
Speaker 1: huge part in that. And so I think, um, just
Speaker 1: that Wednesday, just kind of just getting back into the
Speaker 1: groups of things that's helping people recover and get their
Speaker 1: bodies back. You know, do you watch any other running
Speaker 1: backs across the league? Do you try to pick up
Speaker 1: some do you do you glean or glistening to anything
Speaker 1: from watching tape on other backs? Because Christian McCaffrey to me,
Speaker 1: i'd look to get your thoughts on what you see
Speaker 1: with McCaffrey. Um, I love Christian McCaffrey. I've been I've
Speaker 1: been watching instant who's that stand for it? UM, And
Speaker 1: he's a very ver versatile guy who's able to run
Speaker 1: in between the tackles and I also line up and
Speaker 1: uh as a slot receiver and even come out of
Speaker 1: the backfield running routes. UM. So he's a guy who
Speaker 1: could do it all, UM, and a guy who is
Speaker 1: a very talented weapon on the sales. What's your preference
Speaker 1: would you rather joke somebody out, leave him in the dust,
Speaker 1: or just run right over them? Um? I think I
Speaker 1: think it's it all depends on the scenario in which
Speaker 1: fits best at the timing as well. You know, let
Speaker 1: me ask you. I mean, you've gotten a lot of
Speaker 1: buzz this week, and rightfully so. But I think it's
Speaker 1: also one hasked obviously by your ASU career. So how
Speaker 1: has that been in you know, is that ever get overwhelming?
Speaker 1: Just your popularity in the valley? UM, you would say popularity,
Speaker 1: but I think Arizona, since I was at Arizona State
Speaker 1: UM has done a really good job of just I
Speaker 1: guess you would say a metropolitan area going on, and
Speaker 1: so there's not too many people just you know, fanning
Speaker 1: out and going out and just I would say looking
Speaker 1: for attention to the autograph stuff like that. So it's
Speaker 1: been pretty cool here my time in the valley. I'm
Speaker 1: a smooth going guy who just likes to keep keep it,
Speaker 1: even kill and that's exactly what I've been getting here.
Speaker 1: And I would say your popularity with your teammates too.
Speaker 1: Wolf I mentioned on the air the sideline erupted when
Speaker 1: he scored, and then we saw the video on the
Speaker 1: locker room of the game ball presentation. He got a
Speaker 1: big roar there too, And I asked James Connor about
Speaker 1: that today, you know, and he he just said, I
Speaker 1: think everybody respects the progress you've made from year one
Speaker 1: to year two. Is that the sense you get? UM?
Speaker 1: I definitely, I'm a lot uh in and around the
Speaker 1: locker room. UM, I think I've I've got their trust. UM.
Speaker 1: Just I mean just even on the defense, I'm just
Speaker 1: by running for them, just how hard I try to
Speaker 1: run for them and give them a look at times
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. UM has kind of been helping
Speaker 1: me around the locker room. UM, in the facility as well.
Speaker 1: You know, if the Arizona Cardinals are going to get
Speaker 1: to nine and one on the season, what do you
Speaker 1: think you have to do this Sunday to beat the Bantoms. Um.
Speaker 1: I think we've got to come out and play our
Speaker 1: most physical game yet. UM, Like I said, on their
Speaker 1: very physical team, especially we especially defensively and upfront. UM.
Speaker 1: And so that's kind of one of the thing that
Speaker 1: we've got to come out and play our most physical
Speaker 1: game all year. Funny, James Connor said the same thing
Speaker 1: similar and then he added today to the media, he said,
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of game we like. And he
Speaker 1: just left that hang so that that was good because
Speaker 1: of the run Raid, Paul run Raid. Hey, you know,
Speaker 1: we really appreciate the time and the insight. It was
Speaker 1: a real treat to have you on tonight. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the time. Thank you guys for having me. There you
Speaker 1: go the guy Kyler Murray called a baller. It's Texas
Speaker 1: guy Eno Benjamin. As we continue and wrap up this
Speaker 1: edition next to the Big Red Rage presented by Satan
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert drop straight back to throw in trouble,
Speaker 1: steps up and sacked by Golden at the forty six
Speaker 1: yard line. Marcus Golden having a heck of a season
Speaker 1: shotgun snap Garoppolo three step drop steps up, gets hit
Speaker 1: and sack back at about the thirteen yard line by
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden. When you need a play, forty four is
Speaker 1: there for the takedown on a five yard loss, Garoppolo
Speaker 1: takes the shotgun snap short set in the pocket, gets
Speaker 1: hit by Golden, sacked again at the four yard line.
Speaker 1: Have a day, Marcus Golden three sacks as he takes
Speaker 1: down Garoppolo or start Marcus Golden once again junk yard Dog.
Speaker 1: And think about it. At three SAT game, He's now
Speaker 1: number three in the NFL. Ron Wolfley in sacks, you
Speaker 1: have Miles Garrett, T. J. Watt, Marcus Golden as. You
Speaker 1: have a Cardinals team, a defense that is number three
Speaker 1: in scoring d and you have a team that for
Speaker 1: the third time this year, they have come away with
Speaker 1: three takeaways and five or more sacks and a single game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, on the offensive line is a complete mass
Speaker 1: right now, Paul. They lost their starting center of course,
Speaker 1: or left tackle. And it's not like their offensive line
Speaker 1: has been great the entire year. So that's going to
Speaker 1: be a matchup to watch. No doubt. Carolina is hurting,
Speaker 1: and especially on offense. It is the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford.
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. You have a Caroline offense
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley that has one touchdown in three games. They
Speaker 1: have one touchdown in the last thirty six possessions. Oh
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, And honestly, I think it might be their
Speaker 1: benefit that Sam Darnold is injured at this point. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure it would have been a coach's decision. You
Speaker 1: got Sam Darnold with ten interceptions in the last six games.
Speaker 1: Here's a guy they traded three picks four and then
Speaker 1: picked up his nineteen million dollar guaranteed contract option for
Speaker 1: next year without ever having seen him play a game.
Speaker 1: You think they have Fire's remorse on that one. I
Speaker 1: think possibly, Paul. I think that's a possibility right there. Honestly,
Speaker 1: right now, the Panthers are, boy, They're they're struggling. You
Speaker 1: mentioned at Polly, they lost five other last six games,
Speaker 1: and they beat themselves, Paul. They're very, very undisciplined. Right now.
Speaker 1: They're tied with the Houston Texas as the most penalized
Speaker 1: team in the National Football League. And Paully, they have
Speaker 1: fifteen giveaways on the season. Right now, there are only
Speaker 1: three teams in the league that give the ball away
Speaker 1: more than the Carolina Panthers. You put those two things
Speaker 1: together right now, man, it's it's getting bad in Carolina Ball.
Speaker 1: And now they have PJ Walker. Who's PJ Walker? He's
Speaker 1: an XFL star. The question is he an upgrade over
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Honestly, he's gonna be making his second career
Speaker 1: start in his other NFL action. He has a touchdown
Speaker 1: in five picks. Cliff Kingsbury said, though the Cardinals were
Speaker 1: intrigued by p J. Walker enough, they did research on
Speaker 1: him in the off season and they actually thought about
Speaker 1: maybe bringing him in, and so we'll see what he's
Speaker 1: all about. At the very you talk about a porous
Speaker 1: offensive line, he definitely has the ability to extend plays
Speaker 1: a lot more than Sam Darnold. Correct, well, not really, Paul.
Speaker 1: That's the thing about it right here. When you watch PJ.
Speaker 1: Walker on tape, I mean PAULI a forty two acute,
Speaker 1: a quarterback rating of forty two. Paul in seventy one attempts,
Speaker 1: seventy one pass attempts. As you said already, he's thrown
Speaker 1: five picks to one touchdown, Paul, and he's ran the
Speaker 1: ball se times for ten yards. When you watch him
Speaker 1: on tape, he doesn't really have a burst. And when
Speaker 1: you do a little research, you see that he came
Speaker 1: out of college running a four seven five. That's not
Speaker 1: lights out for the most part. Right there, he had
Speaker 1: a vertical of twenty nine point five. Paul I had
Speaker 1: a vertical of thirty three. I'm just telling you that
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, you know, he just it's not like
Speaker 1: you see somebody that you're very, very impressed with. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to disparage the man in any way,
Speaker 1: shape or form. But he's a backup quarterback for a reason.
Speaker 1: Ball And there's a reason they went on got Cam
Speaker 1: Newton today. There's a reason they gave Cam Newton four
Speaker 1: point five million guaranteed with the possibility of making ten
Speaker 1: million this year. So you know, and by the way,
Speaker 1: I disagree with Matt Rule when he said today, a
Speaker 1: healthy Cam Newton is a special player quote unquote, No,
Speaker 1: not anymore, not based on what we saw Cardinals in
Speaker 1: New England a year ago. I mean in that game
Speaker 1: year he was terrible against the Cardinals. He had a
Speaker 1: passer rating at twenty four. To me, that was the
Speaker 1: most miserable loss of last season when the Cardinals lost
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton and a passerating a twenty four in
Speaker 1: that game at New England. Yeah, but Paul, if we're
Speaker 1: talking Carolina Panthers quarterbacks right here, what are you going
Speaker 1: to do with Sam Darnold? What are you going to
Speaker 1: do with a Paul You owe him nineteen million dollars
Speaker 1: next year? Oh yeah, Paul's seventeen and thirty in his
Speaker 1: career as a starter, he's thrown fifty two touchdowns to
Speaker 1: fifty interceptions. You know, I think Sam Listen, I like
Speaker 1: Sam Donald as a backup. I really do think he's
Speaker 1: going to be one of these guys that will be
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback and have a career doing that. But
Speaker 1: he's not a franchise guy in my opinion. I think
Speaker 1: there's a large enough sample sives to actually prove that.
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, you're on the record
Speaker 1: for paying him nineteen million next year guaranteed. Yeah. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a really tough deal. And then what happens when
Speaker 1: he comes back this season? Out does Cam Newton react
Speaker 1: because we know Cam Newton leaving New England admitted later, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would have been a distraction with Mac Jones, which
Speaker 1: is the reason he got cut by Bell Belichick. So
Speaker 1: we'll see how that all plays out. But to your point,
Speaker 1: their offensive line was bad. Now they're really injured, no
Speaker 1: left tackle, no starting center. So Marcus Golden he might
Speaker 1: be poised for another big game. And here he was
Speaker 1: when he was asked about his sack dance at the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. That's my first time in dance and
Speaker 1: the little step I did. That's my first time in dance.
Speaker 1: I usually run off stumped the ground, Yale pointed the crowd.
Speaker 1: But I was feeling a little juicy day. I had
Speaker 1: to bring out in this way. I had to bring
Speaker 1: a lit way I got that day. It felt good.
Speaker 1: My mom and my dad, they liked it the last
Speaker 1: so I might I might bring a little more out
Speaker 1: next time, he said, yall, I tweeted that out and
Speaker 1: his dad actually replied, he said, you're darn tooting, You're
Speaker 1: darn touton. We enjoyed it so and I loved his
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at Marcus Golden's dad at no joke moke.
Speaker 1: So that was a that's a great Twitter handle right
Speaker 1: there now. But here's the thing to your point, and
Speaker 1: that was a great question to you know, Benjamin Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Panthers all fences firing, it goes
Speaker 1: through Christian McCaffrey, both on the ground and through the
Speaker 1: air to a large degree. Here's Vans Joseph on that challenge.
Speaker 1: The little guys many they had holes in They can
Speaker 1: make big plays that at least the touchdowns, and that's
Speaker 1: a problem with those guys and also with Christian the
Speaker 1: pass game is it's one of his best, you know,
Speaker 1: pluts of his game. You know. So he's a guy
Speaker 1: in about areas winning game in pass game on every down.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a challenge to stop the run
Speaker 1: game always, you know, with their old line in their backs.
Speaker 1: But the pass game for a second and third down
Speaker 1: with Christian that becomes a problem. And Wolf here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Not only did they lose in their most lackluster loss
Speaker 1: of the year a year ago at Carolina with Teddy Bridgewater, okay,
Speaker 1: but two years earlier they lost to Kyle Allen in
Speaker 1: their own building. There is and you know what Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury told us this week on Game Playing his TV show.
Speaker 1: What has he been telling his team all week in
Speaker 1: the locker room? That Carolina owns a five game winning
Speaker 1: streak against the Cardinals. Yeah, you know, PAULI this is
Speaker 1: this is the great thing about it. This is where
Speaker 1: my confidence of all sores. I don't think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see any kind of letdown on Sunday. I don't, Paul,
Speaker 1: And that makes me. I mean, you're sitting here at
Speaker 1: eight in one right now. I don't expect the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals to take their foot off the gas one iota.
Speaker 1: And it's because of the people they have inside of
Speaker 1: that locker room. It's because of the culture that they
Speaker 1: have inside of that locker room in Paul, Wow, that,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a weird feeling for me to feel
Speaker 1: that way, knowing that you've got eight games left. It's
Speaker 1: been it's being regulated from the inside out. Yes, yes, hey.
