00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Dave

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Pashe Podcast. I'm your host ESPN and Arizona Cardinals play

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: by play announcer Dave Pash. Our guest this week is

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: five time Pro Bowl safety and two time First Team

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: All Pro Buddha Baker. So the second time Buddha's been

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: on the Dave Pash Podcast. We had him way back

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: in episode two in training camp back in twenty twenty one.

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: A lot has happened since then, and Buddha is continuing

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: to not only shine as a football player, but he's

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: one of the leaders of the Arizona Cardinals again in

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. And among the many subjects we discussed

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: during the next twenty minutes of this podcast, it includes

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: what to expect from the team in terms of the

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: hallmarks of the Arizona Cardinals in twenty twenty.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: Three, discipline, accountability, a team that's just going to play

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: very fast, a team that doesn't care about what anybody

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: else thinks.

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Buddha and I also discussed preparation for the Washington Commanders.

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: The weight that Buddha put on in the offseason is

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: part of his workout routine. We'll get his thoughts on

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: some of the newcomers, like rookie Keetrell Clark, who has

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: a chance to start on opening day, and Kaiser White,

23

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: week on the Dave Pash Podcast. Well, Booto, it's great

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: to see you. First of all, Man, before we get

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: into camp and everything, how was your summer. Did you

38
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: get a chance to relax it all and kind of

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: put last season behind you and all the changes and

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: move forward in your mind.

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, last year, especially for me,

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: I got you know, kind of injured a couple of

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: times high in good spring, you know, a couple of springs,

44
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: and then that Christmas game versus Tampa Bay, I you know,

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: fractured my shoulders. So this off season I just solely

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: focused on getting my bodies as best as it could be,

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: one hundred percent stronger, faster, bigger, my mindset, everything just

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: you know, those type of things, just to get those better,

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: kind of have tunnel vision, not really paying attention to

50
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: being on any type of you know, media or any

51
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: of that. Just kind of just hanging out with my

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: daughter and working hard.

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: How old is she now?

54
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: She's one and a half turning two December, so yeah,

55
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: you know, she's getting big, starting to walk a little bit, run,

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: you know, say words.

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: I still remember it was I think the Chicago game

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: that you and I flew back together and you were

59
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: you were I think it was any moment at that

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: point right that, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So congratulations, man, that's awesome.

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Thank you. You've always been such an impressive guy. I

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: think the world got to really just get a sense

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: of what you're all about from Hard Knocks people that

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: maybe aren't around the team or haven't really heard you speak.

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Did you go back and watch it at all? Did

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: you see any of the episodes?

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I saw a few of the episodes, you know,

68
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: maybe like four of them. You know, after that it

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: was kind of, you know, we kind of went on

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: a little losing streak. So for me personally, I just

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: you know, try to help as much as I can,

72
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 2: whether it's get the playbook right or you know, understanding

73
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: certain things that the offenses are trying to do to us,

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: and you know try to you know, meet extra with

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: the guys and try to you know, fix those type

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: of things.

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I watched a few episodes.

78
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean what stood out was your passion, your energy.

79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: You know.

80
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Obviously Monty and JG took note of that. They've talked

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: a lot about how they want the culture of this

82
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: team to be the embodiment, you know, of of Buddha Baker.

83
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: You know what you're all about, what what's the biggest

84
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: thing you've noticed going from the previous Not to bash

85
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: the previous regime, but just what are some of the

86
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: things that stood out about the new group MANI the

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff that are a good fit for you.

88
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know they they everything that they

89
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: say kind of aligns with you know, how I go

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: about each and every day and that's you know, kind

91
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: of just getting better each and every day, you know,

92
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: working hard. The little details matter, you know, all the

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: little things that you know we could have done better

94
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: in last year's season. I think that they're making, you know,

95
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: a point to for guys to understand, you know, the

96
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: little things and understand that you know, if if you're

97
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: not going to do these little things, then you know

98
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be here.

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: What about specifically technically about the defense? What are some

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: of the things that are different that you have noticed

101
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: so far?

102
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: Technically, like you're talking about like scheme wise.

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, scheme and also what they're asking you to do,

104
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: like certain like when Colt McCoy was in here, he

105
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: talked about how he had for his entire football life.

106
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: I think it was his right foot was forward, his

107
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: left foot was back, and now they're asking him to

108
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: change it, Yeah, something that he had not done before.

109
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you've experienced so far that's different

110
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: for you in terms of how you attack your position.

111
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't really want to

112
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: say much about it, but at the end of the day,

113
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,559
Speaker 2: you know, his scheme wise, I really like the scheme.

114
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: I really liked the defense. I liked you know, the

115
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: intricate details that they put upon the players to understand

116
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: and know and you know, not just knowing it, but

117
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: no knowing it. That's what he, you know, kind of

118
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: preaches and talks about, and you know, those type of

119
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: things that are very set aligned with me because you

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: want to trust each and every person on the field,

121
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: and if they know it, you know, they it's kind

122
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: of iffy. If they know know it, that means they

123
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: know it one hundred percent. You guys have trust all

124
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: around the board, and you know, you play better football.

125
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: So just the little details of trusting each other and

126
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 2: trusting the defense and understanding the little intricate details that

127
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: they have on each and every personnel based Nickel, you know, Penny,

128
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: all types of personnels.

129
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: So people that watched the preseason games, do you think

130
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: that maybe they'll be surprised when they see some of

131
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: the things you guys do defensively starting week one?

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 3: Oh?

133
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I definitely think so, just like you know,

134
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: if we if when we watched film of other teams,

135
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: you know, they're kind of kind of general offenses or

136
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: general general defenses. So there's you know, definitely a lot

137
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: of details that you know, of course we didn't put

138
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: out in the preseason that you know people will see

139
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: come Sunday.

140
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: So a month ago, month and a half, whatever it was,

141
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: when there were some uncertainty at least maybe not in

142
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: your circle, but people on the outside weren't sure, you know,

143
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: is Booty gonna be here? Because of the trade request,

144
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: you get your deal restructured. What specifically about the deal

145
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: made you happy that you were like, Okay, I'm I'm

146
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: all in with the Cardinals.

147
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, for me personally, like I

148
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: said this whole off season, I'm kind of just put

149
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: my head down and had tunnel vision and understood, you know,

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: what I can control, and what I can control was

151
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: the amount of work I put put in each and

152
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: every day. And uh, you know, I have a great

153
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: agent and David Mullageta athletes first where he was able

154
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: to communicate with you know, Monty and you know, communicate

155
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: certain details that I could appreciate. So at the end

156
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: of the day. For me, it was my job to

157
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: just lock in and hone in on what I can

158
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: do better for my body, for my mind and once,

159
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: you know, once training camp starts, once everything starts, I'll

160
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: be there. So that's what it was. And you know, personally,

161
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm all in. You know, I'm always all in. If

162
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: you watch me play on defense, you watch me like

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: you guys said, I'll always be all in every single

164
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: time I stepped foot on the football.

165
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: What about any differences that we'll see, you know, physically

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: with you. Is there anything you did in terms of

167
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: training or any area of your your off season work

168
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: out routine that you've changed.

169
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean you know I worked out. You know,

170
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: I kind of.

171
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: Started very early, maybe probably let's say I probably started

172
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: and late February early March I started my off season

173
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: training program. And that was because of course I fractured

174
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: my shoulder. I was just healthy enough to enter into

175
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl and be cleared for that. But at

176
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: the end of the day after the Pro Bowl, I

177
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: kind of just set my mind on working hard and

178
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: getting my body right. And you know, of course I

179
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: gained gain about fifteen pounds of muscle. You know, I

180
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: added a few inches off my vertical, my my sprinting,

181
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: my acceleration has all gotten better. As fast as I've

182
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: ever been, as quick as I've ever been, as strong

183
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: as I've ever been, can jump higher than I ever have,

184
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,359
Speaker 2: and you know, I just feel.

185
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: Very healthy, feel very blessed to.

186
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, put that work in and you know,

187
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: now that's here. You know I've always talked about in

188
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: the off season. You know, I trained with Justin King

189
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: out in North Scottsdale, and one of my best friends

190
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: came out to Seattle and I trained with him as

191
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: well because he played receiver. So it was just a

192
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: lot of football, a lot of football, a lot of

193
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: kind of just honing in onto the details, watching a

194
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: lot of film, the things that I could have possibly

195
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: done better, and you know, just trying to get myself

196
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: an overall, you know, better player. And you know that's

197
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 2: what I stuck my mind to. And now that you

198
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: know the season's coming up, the season's here, I'm definitely

199
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: excited to showcase that.

200
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: What do you weigh right now?

201
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: Then? I'm about one ninety four right now, you know,

202
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: I like to be around one ninety one ninety four

203
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: around that area. Usually I've been around one to eighty five,

204
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 2: and towards the end of the season, I usually kind

205
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: of lose some weight, get down to like one eighty

206
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: three or so like that. So this year I've honed

207
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: in on you know, my weight and keeping it up.

208
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: And usually in training camp you lose a lot of weight,

209
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: and that wasn't the case this year. I kept my weight,

210
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: kept my strength, kept everything. So now it's just you know,

211
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: honing into this last week and getting ready for of

212
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 2: course the Washington Commanders.

213
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: So you put on fifteen pounds of muscle, though in

214
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: the off season you're a pretty compact guy. How did

215
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: you put on fifteen pounds of muscle? That's a lot?

216
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, you know, weight based. Now,

217
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: you know when when the off season hits. Of course

218
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: I lose weight when I don't when I don't work

219
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: out or I don't do anything. So of course, a

220
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: couple of weeks I took took off just to rest

221
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: my body and kind of not really getting the weight room.

222
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: And usually I get down to about you know, one

223
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: seventy three, you know, one seventy four, stay around there

224
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: in the off season for that first little month of

225
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: not really doing anything, and then of course I gained

226
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: my weight, gave my weight up, you know, until training camp.

227
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, I went from like one seventy to about

228
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 2: one ninety five. So you know, it was definitely great.

229
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: It was definitely exciting just to feel my body and

230
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: to feel the strength and you know, all little intricate

231
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: areas of my body like my ankles, my feet, you know,

232
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: my cast my hamstrings. It's just it's a little more

233
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: pop and uh, you know, I definitely am excited to

234
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: showcase that.

235
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: I went from one seventy to one ninety five as well.

236
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: What are you laughing at? What are you saying? You

237
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: can't tell? I believe, h I believe it's in different

238
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: places than than you give me your uh, your sense

239
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: of Nick rollis a guy that obviously he's doing this

240
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: for the first time, but very impressive. Young guy just

241
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: turned thirty about a month ago. How much communication are

242
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: you guys having about what you see? Is he leaning

243
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: on guys like you that have been around that have

244
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: had success in this league?

245
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Nick, Nick watches a lot of ball.

246
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: Of course, he played ball in college. You know, JT

247
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: always laughs about playing him in college. I think he

248
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: went to what was it, like, some type of college

249
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: he went to. But Jalen Thompson played against some of

250
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: his freshman year when Nick was you know, I think

251
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: he was a senior, so they always joke about that.

252
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: But for me personally, I like to think that I

253
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: know a lot of football. You know, going into year seven,

254
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: I've played a few different defenses three four four, three

255
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: back to three four back to multiple type of defenses,

256
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: and you know, I will say Nick Nick is a

257
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: is a narrative football. He really knows the game. You know,

258
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: he makes it very easy for the players to understand

259
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: the game within the calls. Guys, are you know, able

260
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: to understand it and play fast? And at the end

261
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: of the day, that's what he wants us to do.

262
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: He wants us to know what we're doing and after

263
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 2: that just play as fast as we can because we

264
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: have we have the talent, we have the players to

265
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: play fast, and you know, he kind of gives it

266
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: upon us to of course know our job and then

267
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: just play football after that. So you know, there's a

268
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: few questions to ask here and there, but at the

269
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: end of the day, you know, we respect and understand

270
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: each every single time he you know, makes a call

271
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: and he explains what the call is used for, what

272
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: down it is for, you know, what personnel it's for.

273
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: So it gives guys a very great.

274
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: Understanding of knowing, kind of knowing before you know, you know,

275
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: the offense is out, you know. So for example, it

276
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: might be we might be in a nickel call and

277
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: he calls that call. So right when he calls a call,

278
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: we understand that. Okay, he called this call because he

279
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: thinks this and you know the weaknesses of this call

280
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: are this. The strength of this call is that. So

281
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: it's definitely, uh, you know, very nice to you know,

282
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: have a DC who understands those type of things.

283
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: Did you wait, Son was played at the University of Minnesota.

284
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: Minnesota, that's what it was.

285
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Did you say Jalen Thompson played against him?

286
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 3: Correct? Correct? Wait?

287
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: How old is Jalleng right now?

288
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: He's like twenty five? No fo, Yeah, Jalen said he was.

289
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: He was a freshman Nick nick role he was probably

290
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: like a red shirt senior or something like that. But

291
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: he said he played against them and Nick was making

292
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: a lot of plays. So they always laugh about that.

293
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought maybe that your paths might have

294
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: crossed because you're what twenty seven? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

295
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: figured that maybe you and Rob, but the fact that

296
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson played against his de coordinator and he's twenty

297
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: five is crazy. I want to talk about some of

298
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: the guys that have some of the younger guys and

299
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: some of the newcomers that have stood out to you

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: in camp. Give me your thoughts on keetroll Clark, the

301
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: rookie out of Louisville who you know could end up

302
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: starting a week one.

303
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I really like the way he plays,

304
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: the way he goes about each and every day. He

305
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: has the right mentality. He has the mentality of a

306
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: pro of you know, this is his rookie year, but

307
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: he's understanding the little details of the game, and he's

308
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: taking the coach and he's understanding he's not making the

309
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: same mistake twice. And that's what you love to see

310
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: it from young guys. You know, they they might mess

311
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: it up one time, but after that they understand what

312
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: it is and they won't mess it up again. So

313
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: very very quick, twitchy guy, a guy who can you know,

314
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: he can play on receivers, play on anybody. He can

315
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: come down and hit you. You know, I really like

316
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: the way that he plays. I like his game, and

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see, you know what we have week one.

318
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see him, you know, play football at

319
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: a high levels his rookie year.

320
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: What about Kaizer White, a guy that you know played

321
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: safety in college. He's a proven inside linebacker, but he's

322
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: played a lot of safety. He's very physical, just like

323
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: you are. What are some of your takeaways from watching

324
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Kaizer because we haven't seen a lot of them obviously

325
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: in the preseason games, but you're with him every day

326
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: at practice.

327
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean personally, you know, when I when I

328
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: found out that JG was going to be the coach,

329
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: and you know, of course understanding who the defensive coordinator was,

330
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: the first thing I wanted to do as a cardinal

331
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: was to go back and look at the Eagles film

332
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: just to see how they play defense, just to see

333
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: certain players that they have that might be coming over

334
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: to Arizona. And he was a guy in that forty

335
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: three in the Eagles uniform that you know, I really

336
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: like to watch on the field on screen. You know,

337
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: a guy who's flying around, he knows what he's doing,

338
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: a guy who's gonna come up and hit you. A

339
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: guy who can also cover and understand the little intricate

340
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: details of what his job is. So that's something I'm

341
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: very excited to play with. And you guys just saw

342
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: a little you know, a little appetizer of course in

343
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: this preseason game. But that's a that's a Pro Bowl

344
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: type of guy who all pro type of linebacker that

345
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: you know, no one really talks about much, but they're

346
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: going to be able to see that, you know, come

347
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: week one and on.

348
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've heard many guys talk about

349
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: when there's a coaching change that they go back and

350
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: watch the film, like right away. Is that something you've

351
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: always done? Like you have, You've always been a big

352
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: film guy who taught you initially, Like, hey, this is

353
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: something you should be focusing on. Because I got to

354
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: think that most guys aren't motivated to say, oh, we

355
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: have a new coach. Oh let's go ahead and just

356
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: look at the film and watch you know what type

357
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: of scheme might be coming here.

358
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

359
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: You know me personally, I'm I'm a big, you know,

360
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: kind of football junkie. So you know, I like watching film.

361
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: I like watching certain defenses and certain players that you know,

362
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: the people might talk about. So I enjoy watching, you know,

363
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: watching on my iPad hours of film and that's kind

364
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: of always, you know, been me for a long time,

365
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: you know, ever since even literally like literally we were

366
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: watching film in the back of our coaches, you know,

367
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: car as a team and you know, understanding what we

368
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 2: could have done better, and also watching other teams as well.

369
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 2: So and then of course in high school, you know,

370
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: butch gun On try Off was my head coach at

371
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: Belvy High School. Never lost a football game in high school.

372
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: You know, my my freshman year, James Hasty, he was,

373
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: he was our defensive coordinator. His his son, Tyler Hasty,

374
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: I went to school with at Belvy High School, so

375
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: you know, he he's a you know, a Hall of

376
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: Fame football player. So of course, just to understand defense

377
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: as a high school player, it was definitely special. And

378
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 2: then of course going into University of Washington, Jimmy Lake

379
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: was my defensive backs coach, and you know, on recruiting

380
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: visits we would go and he would come over to

381
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: my house and we would watch film on you know,

382
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: Rondez Barber and you know, guys that played in the

383
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: league a while back, and we would just watch film

384
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: and understand certain details of what they did, and he

385
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: would coach me up on little things like that. And

386
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: then of course that you know, was stood all throughout

387
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: college and now that in the minute league, you know,

388
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: and it doesn't change, it gets more, of course. You know,

389
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: it was definitely special, you know, the way I was

390
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: brought up, and definitely blessed to understand to have all

391
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: those certain people that were in my corner trying to

392
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: help me get better as a player. And you know,

393
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: now it's something I always do.

394
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: You talk about University Washington, Husky is going to be good,

395
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the ranked tenth. They've got Boise State up in Seattle

396
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: week one, then it's off to the Big Ten. I

397
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: don't know how much you've paid attention to realignment, but

398
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy what's going on right now.

399
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely definitely crazy.

400
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't really paid at attention much, but

401
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: I heard, yeah, they were going to the Big ten,

402
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: and you know they'll be taking those flights, you know, I.

403
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: Mean the the somebody told me it takes the equipment

404
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: truck at USC to get to Rutgers. It takes forty

405
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: one hours. So imagine Seattle, he's to Rutgers. Yeah, Port

406
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: of Maryland, the other Washington, the Commanders who you play

407
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: week one? How much tape have you watched already? And

408
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: when you're playing against a guy like Sam Howell who's

409
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: starting a quarterback who there's not a ton of film on, Uh,

410
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: how do you prepare for that?

411
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

412
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: I mean, of course I watched you know, a few

413
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 2: series that he was able to play last week, and

414
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: you know, kind of just watching Chiefs film. Really you're

415
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: not really watching Commanders film because they're oc side head

416
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: coaches from the Chiefs. So just watching the Chiefs film

417
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: kind of seeing you know, little details that you know

418
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs did that you know, of course possibly of

419
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders will do. And uh, you know they kept

420
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: it very general, very basic in the preseason of course.

421
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: So it's just going to be a matter of understanding

422
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: our rules on it as a defense, and understanding of

423
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: course who their who their best players are, and you

424
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: know how in this league that's what it's meant for.

425
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 2: You know, offense is meant for to get you know,

426
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: their teammate, their team, the best players the ball. So

427
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: just understanding that and you know, like you said a

428
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: young QB, a QB who you know hasn't played much football,

429
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: So you know, just to watch as much film as

430
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: you know you can on him. Find the film. You know,

431
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: of course, our coaches will do a great job of

432
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: finding some film on him, whether that's you know, his tendencies,

433
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 2: what he likes to do, little details like that. But

434
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: you know, watching film would definitely ramp up this week.

435
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: Obviously, nobody can predict how a season's gonna go. Every year,

436
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: there are teams that people think are going to be

437
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders that win four games, and there's teams

438
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: that people aren't really thinking about that are off the

439
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: radar that end up making the playoffs. Maybe that's you know,

440
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: this Cardinal team this year, regardless of the results, what

441
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: do you think will be some of the hallmarks of

442
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: this team? Just kind of watching and doing the preseason games,

443
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: it seems to me like coaching, discipline, toughness, accountability, reliability,

444
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: like those are some things that I've noticed. Kind of

445
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: feels like those things stand out to me. How about you,

446
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: since you're living.

447
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: It, Yeah, exactly, all those all those categories, as you said,

448
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: those characteristics are definitely characteristics that I believe we are

449
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: going to have as a team. We're gonna know each

450
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 2: and every week what the job is and how to win.

451
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: And you know, after that week, we're gonna go back

452
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: to the board and we're gonna say, Okay, did we

453
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: do this? Did we do these intricate three intricate things

454
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: that you know would allow us to win? Yes?

455
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yes?

456
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: Or no no no? And you know we'll go from there.

457
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: But you know, like you said, discipline, accountability, a team

458
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: that's just gonna play very fast, a team that doesn't

459
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 2: care about what anybody else thinks, and everybody that's in

460
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: that circle, everybody that's in that huddle, those are the

461
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: only ones that matter. And we're just gonna play football

462
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 2: at a high level. I definitely believe that one hundred percent.

463
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: All right, last one, We'll get you out of here.

464
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: Because we started with Hard Knocks, let's end with that.

465
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: Your sister, how she doing. Is she still here in

466
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: the valley? Because she was, you know, one of the

467
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: stars of Hard Knocks. We got a chance to kind

468
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: of go behind the scenes and see your life.

469
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's doing great. You know, she's out

470
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: of ass.

471
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: You just started last week, so you know, she's out

472
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 2: there out and about, you know, walking to classes and uh,

473
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: you know, complaining about how hard it is while she's.

474
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: Walking the classes.

475
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: And you know, she's out there staying over on a

476
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: you know, out campus offsite campus over there. So you know,

477
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 2: big Bro has the house to herself now. So it's definitely, uh,

478
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of boring. But at the end

479
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: of the day, I'm just chilling with my dog.

480
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: You know.

481
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: Have my daughter come around. She lives in Florida, so

482
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: have her come every now and again. But uh, yeah,

483
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: my little sister, she's doing great. She's happy, and you

484
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: know that's all I can ask for as a big brother.

485
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: Well, and you may have an empty house, but I'm

486
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: sure you're not there much because I know how hard

487
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: you work to get ready for the season and especially

488
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: once the season gets going. You're one of the leaders

489
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: of this team and you're one of the best players

490
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: in the league. Always appreciate you stopping by.

491
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you, thank you for having me. I appreciate you.

492
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 1: We always learned something when we talk with Buddha Baker.

493
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: I knew that he was a film nut, a football junkie,

494
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: but just hearing first of all, the story about how

495
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: he would sit and watch Little League film in the

496
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: back of the van back when he was young. But

497
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: also recently, Jonathan Gannon gets hired and what does Buddha do.

498
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: He starts watching Philadelphia Eagles film right away, not just

499
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: to get a sense for the scheme, but take a

500
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: look at Kaiser White who is coming over with Gannon

501
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: as a free agent. So great stuff from Buddha talking

502
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: about the team, his workout routine going into the season,

503
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: and also just still trying to process the fact that

504
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: Jahelen Thompson played against Nick Rollis, who is now his

505
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: coach in college just a few years ago. We are
