I'm Danny Sak filling in for Craig Greelou. Guys, 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: football is back to some degree, right, We're gonna take OTAs, 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna take what we can get, even though it's 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: not intense practices, but being able to be out there 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: with the median watching the team kind of get together 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: most of the team, we should say it's exciting football back. Well, 25 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: when you get to the start of phase three of 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: offseason workouts and means ots you can go eleven on 27 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: eleven for the first time in the offseason, no pads, 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: no contact allowed, and we got a chance to see 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, eleven on eleven yesterday. Obviously they're not, you know, 30 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: going one hundred miles an hour, so you know, it's 31 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: part of the process. When you get to this point, 32 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: you know there's ninety players out there, well maybe eighty 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: players out there, but you know when it comes to 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and really this is where you 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: build a foundation and for the new guys, you start 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: to get that connection with your new teammates. How exciting 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: this is this time as a player, Drew is this 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: kind of when it kind of hits you like, okay, 39 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: it's it's it's go time. Now all the work you've 40 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: been working on, you know, by yourself up until this point, 41 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: like now it's now it's time to really get going 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: in the off season. Yeah, well, I think you have 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: a better sense of what the team is going to 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: look like right now. The free agencies over with, now, 45 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: the drafts over with, and now you're done working out 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: and you've kind of spent that time and you've laid 47 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: the groundwork and this is just another step in the 48 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: process of getting ready for the regular season. You get 49 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: in here, you get your work, You feel good about 50 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: the nuances of the offense that are going to change, 51 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: the direction that it's going to change because of the 52 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: pieces that are in place, and you start adding it together. 53 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: And I think from a quarterback perspective, you get the 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: luxury of going back and watching all of the film 55 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. You see, you, Okay, 56 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: this is where we want to go with the guys 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: that we have, and it's on tape now, and you 58 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: can coach off of the tape. And then you can 59 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: also sit there and you can learn. You can put 60 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: the time in right now because it's not so strenuous, 61 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: it's not so you know, groundhog day of each day. 62 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: Every Monday is the same every Tuesday Wednesday. So now 63 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: you get the luxury of really slowing things down an 64 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: MJ's point of bringing some of these young guys along 65 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: that really need it, that you're going to rely on 66 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: or depend upon, and you know, having a veteran presence 67 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: like Colt McCoy, the tier that knows the offense. Now 68 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: he's not learning himself. He can now go give that 69 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: knowledge away to some of these younger wide receivers are 70 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: gonna have to play some of these younger running backs, 71 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: even the communication on the offensive line. So from a 72 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks perspective, this is great because it's about the skill 73 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: players and about helping them and being a younger guy 74 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: that's confident and really raising that level because you're going 75 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: to have to rely a lot on a lot of 76 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: these guys that we might not even know right. Training 77 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: camp is going to do that. But heading into training camp, 78 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: you want to put your best foot forward to be 79 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: prepared to go in a training camp of saying that, hey, 80 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: I had a great spring, I had a great OTA session, 81 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: and I turned some heads to be able to say 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to make this roster or I'm going to 83 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: make a difference if my time comes on the field, 84 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: would you say this is more of a passing camp. 85 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: It's just because you really can't run the ball. I mean, 86 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: you can run your formation. More of a passing camp 87 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: when we get to this point, yeah, well, I think 88 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: that there's still benefits of you know, the offensive line, 89 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: of defensive line and rush lanes and gaps and all 90 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: that stuff that's so important, right, and we haven't had 91 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: that luxury in the past couple of years of teaching 92 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: these young guys what's going on. There's different holes, there's 93 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: different assignments, there's different alignments, and yeah, it gets a 94 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: little bit more chippy out there depending on the team 95 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: that you have as far as the run games pertain too. 96 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: But at the same time, yes, this becomes all of 97 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: a past happy two minute drill end of game scenarios. 98 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: You start to really slow things down, and we always 99 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: start out with the run period in the beginning and 100 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: then sprinkling some runs, but the majority of that's going 101 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: to work itself out in training camp. The twenty twenty 102 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: two season, we've been saying has been in full swing 103 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: since the last couple of months, combine draft, all of that, 104 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: but seeing the players out on the field really makes 105 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: it feel more real and it's, you know, time to 106 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: kind of move past how twenty twenty one ended. We 107 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: got a chance to talk to some players with the 108 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: media after practice Monday afternoon, one of whom was safety 109 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, who talk a lot about out him stepping 110 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: up as a leader, especially now that Chandler Jones joined 111 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders in free agency Jordan Hicks with the Minnesota Vikings, 112 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: and this is what he had to say on kind 113 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: of changing things this year where guys might have been 114 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: feeling a little too comfortable in twenty twenty one. We're 115 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: just taking it one day at a time, you know, 116 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: one week at a time, and if we can do that, 117 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: we'll win. You know, you guys saw us do that first, 118 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: you know, eight nine games of last year, and I 119 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: felt like guys possibly might have got comfortable. You know 120 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: a lot of headlines, a lot of guys, you know 121 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: a lot of wins, you know, and all that type 122 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: of stuff. But it's up to you know, us as 123 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: professionals to ignore the noise and just to take it 124 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: one week at a time because if we do, you know, 125 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: we believe We're a great football team, and this year, 126 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: I think we're going to be a way better team 127 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: than we were last year. Drew what's the fine line 128 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: between moving on from last season, especially the way it ended, 129 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: while still learning those less and carrying them into this 130 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: season without dwelling on the past. Well, I think you 131 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: just look at what they were on how that happened, 132 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: and you correct the mistakes and the errors that happened. 133 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: Or when it slipped away, you know, like Buddha was 134 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: talking about, they kept preaching the one day mentality, one 135 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: to no one to no one, don't know, and all 136 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden they looked up and they had all 137 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: these wins and they're like, oh man, well we're going playoffs. 138 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: We're doing this. They lost that mentality and Buddha kind 139 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: of alluded to it there, like they got comfortable and 140 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: all that. So I think being able to identify that earlier. 141 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: But everybody plays this game for different reasons. There's different 142 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: motivations and there's different things. But I think the biggest 143 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: thing in Buddha does such a good job with this 144 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: is being able to lead authentically. Yes, he needs to 145 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: step up as a leader because some of these pieces 146 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: are going to be gone, but there's new leaders that 147 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: are coming in. There's new leaders are going to be around. 148 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: And leadership can look many different ways. It can be vocal, 149 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: it can be physical. I mean, Larry wasn't the most 150 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: vocal person that I ever played with, but he led 151 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: by the way he conducted himself on a daily basis, 152 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: and I think that is what can galvanize a group. 153 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: That can galvanize a team to make them better so 154 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: they can weather those storms. And those storms are much 155 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: shorter than all of a sudden, these dips that we 156 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: saw last year or have seen you in the last 157 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: couple of years, where all of a sudden, it goes 158 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: off the rails and there's no getting it back. So 159 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: being able to have one voice, one guy, especially somebody 160 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: like Buddha that everybody can kind of look to, and 161 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: when he speaks, people listen, that's going to mean a lot. 162 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember a guy like Carlos Dansby. He 163 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: did such a good job of always carrying himself like 164 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: a professional, and when he spoke and he broke down 165 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: the huddle or he had to energize a group or 166 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: get the things back on track, guys listened and They 167 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: didn't question anything. They just went out there and did 168 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: their job. This is really excuse me. This is really 169 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: the first time where a player of his ILK came 170 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: out and said that maybe this team got comfortable. So 171 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: he kind of gave us a little insight there. And 172 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I guess when you're winning and you're still putting the 173 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: work in, but all of a sudden, maybe you just 174 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: think you got to step on the field. And I 175 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: don't know what that was the case. Obviously injuries, losing 176 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: JJ Watt and DeAndre Hopkins, but for the most part, 177 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he is the glue of the defense saying 178 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a bigger role, and you know he's 179 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: mentioned that he thinks to safeties are the quarterbacks of 180 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: this defense. You know, you start looking at the cornerbacks. 181 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: You know, that was a strength going into the season, 182 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: and then by the end of the season there were 183 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: some holes in the secondary. So but this is really 184 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: the first time that maybe a player of his ILK 185 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: came out and said we maybe a film too comfortable. 186 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: First time I've heard that. Yeah, And as this team 187 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: moves forward into the twenty twenty two season, OTAs is 188 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: the great start for that. And you know we've talked 189 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: about it's it's not intense practicing. It's more about just 190 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: getting those reps. And head coach Cliff Kingsbury was asked 191 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: what he tries to get out of these OTAs, and 192 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: here was his answer. You know, it's good to have 193 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: him around each other first and foremost after a couple 194 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: of years of not having that much time. I think 195 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: team building is big, just being in locker room, wait 196 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: room doing things together, and then a lot of mental reps. 197 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Just it's one thing to be in the meeting rooms 198 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: and they're nodding and say they got it, but it's 199 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: another thing to go out there and apply it and 200 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: be able to coach from the film, whether it's full 201 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: Speed or Walters, and so the mental stuff is huge. 202 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: It's exactly what you were saying earlier, Drew as a 203 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: player to get the most out of OTAs. Does it 204 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: differ if you are a rookie or afore your veteran 205 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're in a specific position group. Well, 206 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: I think that all of that stuff matters in the 207 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: long run because we're being evaluated on our tape. As 208 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: Cliff was talking about, what you put on film is 209 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: your resume. And we've talked about that before in games, 210 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: but in practice right now, that's what they're basing everything 211 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: off of. It is this next step in the journey, 212 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: and some of these young guys like they get nervous 213 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: just going out on that field. Being a veteran that 214 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: was established with an offense, knew it. I still went 215 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: in with a mentality, Okay, what can I learn this 216 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: day that I didn't know? What adjustment can I have 217 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: in this protection if I need to be and then 218 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: how can I give that knowledge away? I mean I 219 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: would try and slow things down so much of over 220 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: communicate in OTAs because you want these young wide receivers 221 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: that might not have been used to being seeing like 222 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: hots and sights and points stuff out or having offensive 223 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: linement that are worried because you have a new kid 224 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: playing center that you know and identified the mic right away. 225 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: So over communicating allowing guys to play to their best 226 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: of their ability and feel comfortable on top of learning 227 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: and educating and then teaching off the film. I mean 228 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: that's the beauty of this and the structure of OTAs. 229 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: Everything is about the mental approach of how you can 230 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: build off of that, and that's why it's been such 231 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: a travesty to not have it for these young guys 232 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: because you get thrown into the fire, and some of 233 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: these guys on defense especially, we've seen what a detriment 234 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: it's been to them because all of a sudden, you 235 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: get thrown in the deep end and you can't swim 236 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: and it's like, I can't make an adjustment here, and 237 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: then it's paralysis by analysis, and you see that at 238 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: every position, depending on the guys. But if there's a 239 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: core group of guys that are kind of bringing everybody 240 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: along offensively and defensively, which I think exists here in 241 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: this franchise, you're going to benefit immensely. And Cliff was 242 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: even talking about it as like, sometimes it's just a 243 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: matter of getting this nucleus together and you start pulling 244 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 1: everybody in the same direction and the camaraderie. Because once 245 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: the season comes, those blinders are on and it's Groundhog's 246 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: Day and you're going, Okay, what do we need to 247 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: win this week? What do we need to win this week? 248 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: And once that transpires, you might, you know, not necessarily 249 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: understand fully, and you're gonna get left behind, and you're 250 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: gonna get left and dust and Je. You were out 251 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: at practice at OTAs a Monday. You gotta be out 252 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: there for a long time with the media. What's it 253 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: out to you? Well, just the temple of the practice. 254 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: And they hired a new defensive line coach in Matt Burke, 255 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: and he's got some different drills. And you know, I 256 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: was a big fan of Brinson Buckner, but I think 257 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: a new voice will go a long way. They're doing 258 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: different drills and you can see he's more about technique 259 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: and you know, getting off the ball, the explosion. You know, 260 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: obviously J. J. Watt's going one hundred miles an hour. 261 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: You were out there, and then just some of these 262 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, the fact that they signed six tryout guys. 263 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: You know, I look at a guy like Christian Blake 264 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: thirty were number thirty nine. He was with the Falcons, 265 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: a special teams player. He's got good size six two. 266 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: I like what zach Ertz is doing. I mean, Davin 267 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: Collins is making the calls. It looks more comfortable, more confident. 268 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: Greg Dortche to me, it looks like he's more comfortable 269 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: when it comes to him kind of watching punts and receiving. 270 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: I know Cliff is a big fan of Craig Dortch, 271 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: so you know, you know, you like to see him 272 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown here. Obviously Hop's not here or it's not 273 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: practice unless I don't know that A J. Green. So 274 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: it was good to see the veterans out here. But 275 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: I can't say enough about zach Ertz. You know, you 276 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: could see all these guys are in their second year. 277 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: They're much more comfortable. You could see how they walk 278 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: around the facility now. And you know, I think Hop 279 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: could have been a captain, And I don't know how 280 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: that's going to affect it now, but I would think 281 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: zach Ertz should be a captain on this team. He's 282 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: got that much leadership and he's going to be a 283 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: guy that's going to be able to take a guy 284 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: like Tray mcgride under his wing. And I think mcgride 285 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: very good route runner. Obviously he's going to learn the system, 286 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: but he's soft when he catches the ball runs up 287 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: the field. So I'm encouraged based on a couple of 288 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: the draft picks, but also you know the guys that 289 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: are returning, and I think Nick Vigil is this guy 290 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: that stood out to me just you know, I think 291 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: we know that Isaiah and Zaban are going to be 292 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: here linebackers, but Nick Vigils a guy that's going to 293 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: replace Jordan Hicks. We could see more of him versus 294 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: maybe a guy like Kennard, and you're still going to 295 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: have Marcus Colden out there. An early observation was quarterback 296 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was not out on the field at OTAs, 297 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: and when asked about his absence, here is what Buddha 298 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: Baker had to say. For me, I honestly think that 299 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: I know kay One is working really hard. I know 300 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: that he, you know, is doing all the things that 301 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: he can, whether it's talking to the coaches, talking to 302 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: the players, and I know that when he gets here, 303 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: he's going to be ready. There's going to be no 304 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: drop off, and you know, I'm excited for you know, 305 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: when the whole team gets together. We should make it 306 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: clear that OTAs are voluntary, and Kyler Murray was not 307 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: the only veteran, not the only starter who was not 308 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: out on the field, So we should make that clear 309 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: for everybody listening. It wasn't just Kyler Murray drew not 310 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: having your starting quarterback there though. What would the camaraderie 311 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: be around this team? Is that a concern for you 312 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: in any sense? Yeah, you think, I jay, Um, yeah, 313 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: it's a concern. If I'm being completely honest with you, Yes, 314 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: that is a concern. Um. You know, I am very 315 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: hesitant to criticize quarterbacks or anything like that. But you're 316 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: the leader of the team. You're not here, and um, 317 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: you know there's a business component too as well, so 318 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: you you understand that it's too bad. It's not like 319 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: he's some player that's gonna go out there and hurt 320 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: himself throwing a football. It's not. He's not putting himself 321 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: in harm's way. I think with the way that the 322 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: season ended last year, I would have liked to see 323 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: my starting quarterbacks say, hey, you know what, I'm not 324 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: content with what went on, and I'll let all that 325 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: money stuff. For whatever reason, he's not here, I don't 326 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: know what it's for. But at the same time, colts 327 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: getting all these reps, you know, all these young guys 328 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: are getting reps and doing that. So that is it's 329 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: completely voluntary, and there's you know, he has his prerogative 330 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: to not be here. But at the same time, I 331 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: would like my starting quarterback to be here working on stuff, 332 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: working with new guys. Now. I know he's working with 333 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: Holly Brod Brown probably so where else and doing that, 334 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: but he's not seeing cover so they're not talking about 335 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: different stuff. And yes, they were worked on stuff at Oklahoma. 336 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: This is a different speed, it's a different animal that 337 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: you're dealing with. It's different adjustments. It's the whole picture 338 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: that you have to look at. It's not just two 339 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: guys on how they're going to fit in and plug 340 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: in when they come in. Now, does Kyler have the 341 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: talent to do it? Yes? Is this all to do 342 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: about nothing? Because this is the end of May and 343 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: we can sit and dissect everything one hundred percent, But 344 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: it's still disheartening the fact that the franchise quarterback is 345 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: not in the building getting to know everybody here, doing 346 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: everything that he can to make sure this team is 347 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: as good as they can be hidden in training camp. 348 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: You're right, Kyler Murray has been working out in Dallas 349 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: with Hollywood Brown. And when Kingsbury was asked about not 350 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: seeing his newst wide receiver and his quarterback out here 351 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: at OTAs, this is what he had to say. I've 352 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: seen him together live and in person on the other team, 353 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: and it was not fun for me, so I know 354 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: what it looks like. But now I think, like I've 355 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: said before, I think as a coach, you want to 356 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: have these guys here all the time, but it's just 357 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: not how the rules are set up, and different guys 358 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: handle in different ways. I think one of the biggest 359 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: things that out of Kingsbury talking to the media was 360 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: him saying, yes, he does expect Kyler Murray to be 361 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: here for mandatory minicamp, which is June fourteenth through June sixteenth. Well, 362 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: the difference is it's mandatory and if you're under contract, 363 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: you could get fine. The only thing I could say 364 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: is both parties have communicated and there's other players. There's 365 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: probably five to eight players that are veterans weren't here yesterday, 366 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: so they check in with their position coach and obviously 367 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: they relate it to their head coach. To me, it's 368 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: more it's really about the perception, and I he speaks 369 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: like a guy that's playing in the league and he 370 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: knows how important this is in the offseason, So I 371 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. But the thing is, it's not like 372 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: he's in Cobbo. He should be here. Unfortunately, they have 373 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: communicated and so it seems like everyone's on the same page. 374 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: So but the fact that he's not here, that's just 375 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: more you think camaraderie standpoint, right. I mean, Carson didn't 376 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: do Ota is, but he was still here doing stuff. 377 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: Not to compare one player to the next, because that's 378 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: not fair, but to be in the building and still 379 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: be around. I think there's value in that because Kyler 380 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: Murray's been here throughout the offseason working out. But you're right, 381 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: OTAs ots are different. Yeah, and again that's what you 382 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: have to, you know, try to figure out. Hopefully he 383 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: gets here sooner rather than later. Well, we have more 384 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: OTA's talk coming up, along with some exciting breaking news, 385 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: some all access behind the scenes look for the entire 386 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: season for the Arizona Cardinals next year. All that and 387 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: more so stay tuned with us on Cardinal's Red Sea report. 388 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: Caught it at the forty, turns right to the thirty, 389 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: back to the left of the twenty, connor to the ten, 390 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: to the five and end of the ends off of 391 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: the touchdown picked off.

The Arizona Cardinals will be 410 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: featured on this season of HBO's Hard Knocks, not the 411 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: normal Hard Knocks where it's just their training camp that 412 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: goes to the Detroit Lions. This year, the Cardinals will 413 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: be featured throughout the season. Last year it was the 414 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts as the inaugural team to do so. In 415 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: this year it's the Cardinals, which is exciting pros and 416 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: cons which we will talk about. But MJ, why does 417 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: it make sense for the Cardinals to get all these 418 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: eyes on them this season? Well, you know, it's a 419 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: little bit different than all or nothing, and Drew Stanton 420 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: was involved in that, and you know NFL films were here, 421 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: and he'll get into you know, maybe the quarterbacks didn't 422 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: want cameras in their room, but you know, this is 423 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to build a brand up. And you know, 424 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: Kingsbury kind of alluded to yesterday when you're when you're 425 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: on camera and maybe you're gonna watch what you say. 426 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to get some personalities out 427 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: in the Indianapolis Colts. Last year they started going on 428 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: a winning streak when they started filming them. I think 429 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: they lost three out of their last six, And of 430 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: course I did watch that last episode. It was heartbreaking 431 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: when I lost to Jacksonville. So you know, you know, 432 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have had these slides in the second half 433 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: of this season, maybe we see some more accountability and 434 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: hopefully they could figure that out. But again, if there 435 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: is some pros and cons to it, and you know, 436 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, the team 437 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: will have, you know, a final say on what's you know, broadcasting. 438 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: I think Mark Dalton's going to do a good job 439 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: to where he's going to give these guys, you know, 440 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: storylines so they can obviously, you know, bring up stories 441 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: maybe we haven't heard before, right Mark Dalton with the 442 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: media relations department. So the first episode will come out 443 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: in November, so they'll have a small karate here again 444 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: in the first couple weeks and then it'll be full 445 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: steam ahead. When Cliff Kingsbury was asked about being on 446 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, it's it's almost a little ironic because we 447 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: know that Kingsbury is, at least with the media, a 448 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: little more introverted, right, So the fact that he's going 449 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: to have all these cameras on him, and he told us, 450 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's looking at it in a positive light 451 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: and he's looking at the good that having all these 452 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: cameras on him and the rest of his team can 453 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: bring to them. We obviously struggled back after last season, 454 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: it has an opportunity to come in and guys, we'll 455 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: perk up when the cameras around. You don't want to 456 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: look bad on a camera. It's just kind of human nature. 457 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: And so it's like I said, if we approach you 458 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: the right way and still continue to be our authentic selves, 459 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: I think he'd be a real push at that point. Dure, 460 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: you have a little experience being on camera with All 461 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: or Nothing here with the Cardinals, with Hard Knocks, throughout 462 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: training camp with the Browns in twenty eighteen. Do you 463 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: think that's true when the cameras are on you kind 464 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: of step up your game. Oh, you know, I think 465 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: it depends on the person, to be honest, I think 466 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: that sometimes when you just get used to have them around. 467 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean they were they were here that whole time 468 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: for All or Nothing, and they just kind of became 469 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: a regular presence. You got to know the guys that 470 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: were the film guys you know, got another producers, so 471 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, they were here for the whole duration, which 472 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: was vastly different than Hard Knocks, where it was like 473 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: training camp with the Browns. There was all the turmoil 474 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: around the Browns and Hugh Jackson coming off one and 475 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: thirty one and oh in sixteen seasons, so different storylines. 476 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to get those points across with hard Knocks, 477 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: and Hard Knocks has been around for a very long time, 478 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: so I have not seen the cults from last year, 479 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: but I think I mean more time to space things 480 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: out and get a true storyline established, And as you 481 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: guys alluded to with Mark Dalton, they'll do a phenomenal 482 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: job here of making sure that the brand is put 483 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: in the best possible light, because I think as a player, 484 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: you can see it as a distraction or it can 485 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: just go away. There's a lot of different ways, and 486 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: some guys, these personalities love to take off or do 487 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: different stuff, or you know, I can see somebody like 488 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: Dennis Gardack like being the star of the show just 489 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: because that's he's charismatic, all those things, where most guys 490 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: they just want to go about their job. They want 491 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: to do their job to the best of their ability, 492 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: and if somebody's filming it, it's not going to change 493 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: or do anything. Like. There's certain places that everybody sees 494 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: stuff in the weight room, in the lunch room, on 495 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: the practice field PrePost practice, all those things that kind 496 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: of transpire, and it can be a distraction if you 497 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: let it be distraction. If you just go about your 498 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: business and you operate, you know the professional that you are, 499 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: which there's many on this team that would just put 500 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: their head down and continue to work and it won't 501 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: matter if anything's around them. Then it is what it is, 502 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: and it becomes a good piece to be able to 503 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: show everybody with the twenty twenty two Arizona Cardinals are 504 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: all about. So really it's more secondary. And now you 505 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: guys didn't want any cameras in your room? Yes, yeah, 506 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: that was very clear. That was very clear. Well in 507 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback rooms, you know, in particular, like there are 508 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: some really tough conversations decisions that need to be made, 509 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: but there has to be transparency in there, and if 510 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: you feel like you can't fully share that because it's 511 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: being filmed. You know, sometimes you have tough conversations about 512 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: teammates you would hate for that to get out because 513 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to do that, Or you have open book 514 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: discussions on certain guys that might be struggling on how 515 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: to help assist them. All that stuff that doesn't necessarily 516 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: need to be you know, put on tape I think 517 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: is important. But at the same time, if it's on 518 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: the practice field, if it's content and you're doing this, 519 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: you never want to have your guard let down. And 520 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: I think sometimes you know, we kind of had to 521 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: rule in the quarterback room too, of everywhere I had been, 522 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: if you're miked up for that game, you need to 523 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: let everybody else know around you, because I think that's 524 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: only fair and not to be said that like some 525 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: guy's going to say something stupid to do that, because 526 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: they do a good job of trying to put everybody 527 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: in the best light. But at the same time, you 528 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: at least want to know that's the case. So with 529 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: within what we were doing and that time frame, as 530 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: far as the all or nothing when we were pushing forward, Uh, 531 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: we just requested that about being there and they were 532 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: fantastic about it. We gave him other content. I remember 533 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: Carson like wrote in and had to ride in the 534 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: car with him and do different stuff. There's other ways 535 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: to be able to get to know somebody. Then have 536 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: the camera shining down on somebody all the time and 537 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: you don't know if it's recording or the red light. 538 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: It gave us like anxiety We're like, get this thing 539 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: out of here please. So to Tom Moore was all 540 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: about it too, He's like, yo, we don't need that. 541 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: Well they picked the right room with the defensive backs, right, 542 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah no, I mean, oh yeah, no, 543 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: the same thing. Like you do. You either put it 544 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: in in the wide receiver room, the D line room, 545 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: or the DB's room, and you will get the best 546 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: content ever. I mean, that's where Jarvis when I was 547 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, you know, like he got up there and 548 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: he had that passionate speech about a bunch of guys 549 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: not practicing. You know, well that's right, Yeah, that's how 550 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: That's how he is. So you're going to get good content, 551 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: especially over the duration that you're here. Um, it just 552 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: gives you more insight. And for the people that are 553 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: die harders on a Cardinals fans or want to know 554 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: more about what it's like the life in the NFL, 555 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity to put out this type of 556 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: media content for people to get a better feel. You 557 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: mentioned Dennis Gardeck, and I think that's a great person 558 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: to think about who hard knocks will probably gear one 559 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 1: of their side stories too. There's gonna be a lot 560 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: more than the normal Hard Knocks because they're gonna have 561 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: all season. And I've been trying to think, you know, 562 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: the big names you would imagine Buddha, Baker, Kyler, Murray, 563 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: JJ Watt right going to get attention. But some of those, 564 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe players that you would be surprised to 565 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: learn more about and be really intrigued by their stories. 566 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: I've been thinking, and I think my answer would come 567 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: down to, like, you know, I think a Rondel Moore, 568 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, a tweezing the wide receiver's room. I think 569 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: the pair of Marco Wilson and Isaiah Simmons would be 570 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: really great. And I also think DJ Humphreys would be 571 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: a really great person like personality wise. I just feel 572 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: like every time we'd love to yeah, I'm sure. I 573 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: feel like every time we've talked to DJ last season, 574 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 1: at least when I was here, was he always had 575 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: something funny to talk about with the media. Who do 576 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: you think is gonna like be a surprise superstar on 577 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. Well, besides the names you mentioned, I mean, 578 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 1: you know guys, maybe Isaiah Simmons or somebody that maybe 579 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 1: he's on the offensive line, I mean Calvin Beecham has 580 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot of side of interest. He's a very interesting guy. 581 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson, we don't hear a lot from see. I 582 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: think the difference in Hard Knocks is they find that 583 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent and you know, they go back to 584 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: the hotel room. He's waiting for the phone ring and 585 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: the phone rings and then they tell him he's going 586 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: to practice squad here. We're going to be in mid season, 587 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: So I think Hop's going to be one of the 588 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: stars because just because of his personality, he has a 589 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: lot of outside interest and he's a guy that you know, 590 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: likes being in front of the camera. So I think 591 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: Hop will have a big part. Yeah, Head coach Cliff 592 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: Kingsbury agreed with you when he was asked about that too. 593 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: If they could go film Hop while he's suspended, that 594 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: would be the best TV ever. But I don't think 595 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: they can. Yeah, I don't know. Like I said, I 596 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of kind of really high character 597 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: men that we get to work with, whether it's staff, coaches, 598 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: players every day, So just to kind of tell some 599 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: of their background stories and get to know them on 600 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: that level, I think it'll be great for our fans. 601 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: Drew who you think is going to stand out? Aaron 602 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: and Brewer brew Dog will steal the show about special 603 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: teams guys, this guy those three together for sure, Oh 604 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: my gosh. You know that's a great call because I mean, 605 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: I think if you add up all their years, I 606 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: think they had the most ten year old for sure 607 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: entire national football Even Matt Prater's got personality. Andy Lee 608 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: Bruce kind of funny once you give him to start talking. Yeah, yeah, 609 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: I like that. I think too, it'll be fun to 610 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: get to know the coaching staff that that's really neat 611 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: as well, as you know, these coaches work so hard. 612 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: It's not to take away, but it's more than just 613 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, Evans, Joseph and you know, Jeff Rogers doing 614 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: all this work. So I think that's really exciting too 615 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: to get to see these coaches and you know, let 616 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: them have their flowers as well. Well. I think Sean 617 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: Jefferson has personality, Sean Coogler, I mean, you know, Billy 618 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: Davis and Charlie Boland that I like, the defensive backs coaches, 619 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: even Matt Burke. So yeah, I do think we're going 620 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: to see more from the coaching staff just with the 621 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: daily la lifestyle is when it comes to putting a 622 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: game plan together. And maybe we'll get to see a 623 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: less introverted version of Cliff Kingsbury. All players love, you know, 624 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: say he's so fun and jokes around with them. I'm 625 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: hoping we get to see a little more of that 626 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: as well. Red Sea.

As 643 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: we welcome you back into the Red Sea Report, presented 644 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: by Sea Geek alongside Mike Jarecki and Drew Stanton. I'm 645 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: Danny Sarak. It's been really interesting to see Trey McBride 646 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: practice at you know, rookie manicamp, through the videos that 647 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: we posted on our social media and website and then 648 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: being out at OTAs on Monday because he was the 649 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: second round draft pick, but he was the highest draft 650 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: pick for the Cardinals this year after trading out of 651 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: the first round to get Hollywood Brown from the Ravens. 652 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: And you can tell he is stepping in into that 653 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: leadership role as the highest drafted rookie, which usually obviously 654 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: goes to that first rounder, but he seems to be 655 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: filling that role amongst the rookies quite nicely. Yeah. And 656 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: I've always thought, you know, whoever's in your draft class, 657 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: you're you're attached for your entire career, and you know, 658 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: you look at Colin Murray's draft class, and you know, 659 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: when you look at Byron Murphy and then Zach Allen, 660 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are attached, so you come in 661 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: with the class and you know a lot of those 662 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 1: guys are on defense, only a couple are on offense. 663 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: But he's gonna learn a ton from guy like zach 664 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: Ertz and Steve Hyden's a really good coach. I really 665 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: like the staff on both sides of the ball and 666 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: special especially on special teams. So yeah, I mean, I 667 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 1: don't know what the expectations are early on. I mean, 668 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna have the block at some point 669 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: in time. Craig didn't think he was as big as 670 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: zach Ertz, and I just said give him a little time. 671 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: He's going to fill out obviously when they get on 672 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: a meal plan and he started working out with Buddy Morris. 673 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: But he looks the part, I can tell you that. 674 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: And he catches the ball very fluid, He's turning up 675 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: the field. He's got soft hands. Now you're not this 676 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: is the NFL though, that's not Colorado State, So the 677 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: competition is going to be a lot higher when he 678 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: goes playing these games in the upcoming season. Probably no 679 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,479 Speaker 1: better tight end to learn from and be a sponge 680 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: around than zach Ertz. Drew from your experience being a 681 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: mentor or being mentored. You know this was coming up, 682 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: especially the last couple of weeks, you know, out in 683 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: time to see with Ryan Tannehill. How do you view 684 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: it now, I should say, compared to maybe how when 685 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 1: you were a player, the idea of a veteran mentoring 686 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: a younger player, because you obviously want to put the 687 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: team in the best position to where if somebody has 688 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: to step up, they're capable. But at the end of 689 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: the day, everybody's still fine to keep your spot on 690 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: the roster. Right, Yeah, well, I think there it's a 691 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: case by case scenario, and it also depends on the 692 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: person on both sides. Right. For me, once I was 693 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: a young guy that was trying to learn or go 694 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: pick people's brains like John Kitten at Dan Orlovsky, I 695 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: feel like I could learned from anybody around me. And 696 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: I still felt like that later on in my career. 697 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: I was learning from younger guys. I mean I learned 698 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: stuff from Andrew Luck from I mean Matthews only two 699 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: years younger than me, but from Matthew Stafford, even Baker Mayfield. 700 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm constantly learning because you have to evolve. You can't 701 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: stay stagnant within that and saying that once you kind 702 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: of make that transformation and you become a quote unquote vet, 703 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: you have this knowledge to give away and the guys 704 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: that are willing to absorb it, that's where you see 705 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: that jump made. And so I was always willing to 706 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: pro offer information. I was always willing to help young 707 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: guys out because I was a young guy that was 708 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: trying to learn. And the same facet, you can try 709 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: and help some young guys, but if they're not willing 710 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: to learn it, if they're not absorbing, if they're not 711 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: applying it, then it becomes a whole different scenario of well, 712 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to waste my time trying to do 713 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: this because they're not even willing to do it on 714 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: their own end. And so I think there's a balance 715 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: within it. You know, there was much to do about 716 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: the Ryan Tannehill situation from my personal perspective, right, I 717 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: understand that Ryan wasn't aware they're going to draft a quarterback. 718 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: He was a later round pick, he wasn't a first 719 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: overall pick, he wasn't a first round pick. He's not 720 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: a guy that's going to come in and threaten his 721 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: job right away. So I think you know with his 722 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: comments that he's come out with about saying that and 723 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: knowing Ryan a little bit that I do, it could 724 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: have been misconstrued because I don't think he was coming 725 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: out and saying, hey, you know what, he's on his own, 726 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm leaving him for the wolves. That's not that by 727 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: any case of the matter. And I think that he's 728 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: trying to clarify it now. But you also don't have 729 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: to take back what you don't say. So if Ryan 730 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: had just chose his words a little bit more eloquently 731 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: and said, hey, like, I'm focused on being the starting quarterback, 732 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: and I think that the organization tried to surround him 733 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: with that without really indicting him on it and indirectly saying, look, 734 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: Ryan's our starter. This is the case. But there's so 735 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: much knowledge for a guy like zach Ertz. It's a 736 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl guy that's been there, done that. You know, 737 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: everybody could learn from him, not just the tight end, 738 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: any young guy that's been around it that wants to 739 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: learn and see it from that lens. I think is 740 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: so important because these young guys, you want to speed 741 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: up that learning curve. And when I got to Cleveland, 742 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: I didn't know Baker besides some of the stuff that 743 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: I've seen online or anything like that, and I just 744 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: try to have him let his guard down and said, 745 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: I am here to help you. The sole reason I 746 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: was here, Tyrod's the starter, You're the backup right now, 747 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm the thirst ring guy, and I'm literally here to 748 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: just help you and help this team be as good 749 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: as they can be, to help get them on a 750 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 1: winning streak. And so I think that helped to cultivate 751 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: the trust and that respect that we had for each other, 752 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: because it's got to be a two way street. Tannehill 753 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: is at OTA's and he entrusted the media quote. As 754 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: soon as things blew up, he readled to Malik Willis 755 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: and said he would be a great teammate to him. 756 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: So it looks like everyone's on the same page. And 757 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: obviously he's at OTA's there in Nashville. You know. One 758 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: of the things that zach Ertz said, when you know, 759 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: I asked him what it was like to be a 760 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: rookie and he had the benefit of working with Brince 761 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: Selik and James Casey, and he said that they really 762 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: Casey would watch film at four am, and Sellek was 763 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: another guy so he you know, he knows what it's 764 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: like to be that guy when you're walking into a 765 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: new team. And you know, he mentioned Hollywood Brown. He 766 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: said he hasn't played with a guy like that probably before, 767 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: sends to Shawn Jackson. So he's really excited about just 768 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: having another weapon on the field. But Zach, Zach, you're 769 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: right the way he practices. If you're anybody and you're thinking, man, 770 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: this guy just signed a three year contract and he 771 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: and he ad meant it yestually, I'm in a different 772 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: situation here. I just signed a three year I'm all in, 773 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: I want to be here, and that makes total sense. 774 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: But you watch the way he practices, and if you're 775 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: you're figuring, well, how many more reps you gotta get? 776 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: And this guy just got paid and he wants more. 777 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: He knows they drafted a Titan in the second round, 778 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: but he's he's you know again, I think you should 779 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: be a captain this year. I don't know if the 780 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: Cardinal's ever had a tight end as captain, but the 781 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: way he practices, hopefully you can, you know, wear off. 782 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: And some of these young guys are thinking, that's where 783 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 1: it's like to be a pro this is the time 784 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: of the off season where it's all about learning and 785 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 1: asking those questions, because by the time you get to 786 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: training camp, you need to know the playbook and you 787 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: need to know what's going on. So that's why this 788 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: is what Buddha Baker likes to tell the rookies at 789 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: this point in the off season while they're working. When 790 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: training camp starts, there's no more I didn't know what 791 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: a overfront was, or I didn't know what an underfront 792 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: it is. It's like, you gotta know, just like the starters. 793 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: So that's what I like to tell them right now 794 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: so they understand that there's no slacking once we get 795 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,280 Speaker 1: to the camp, like I should know this whole playbook 796 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: and if I don't, I'm wrong because I had the resources, 797 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: I had the coaches, I had the players to ask 798 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: questions and here a professional. At the end of the day, 799 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: it's not just about learning if you're a rookie from 800 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: veterans in your position group, it's also about learning from 801 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: the players you're lining up against, which is why when 802 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: our PACLVC talked to rookie offensive lineman Lucida Smith about 803 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: a potential camp matchup with JJ Watt, This is what 804 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: he had to say. If you had the thought, there's 805 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: gonna be an old line, d line drill, full pads, 806 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: full contact, and there's a chance that I could line 807 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: up in a three point stance and I'm staring straight 808 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: across at ninety nine JJ Watt. That's gonna be a 809 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL moment, won't it? Yes, I think 810 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: it will be. I'm anna pray that it won't. I'm 811 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: an pray that, you know, he doesn't teach me a lesson. 812 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna definitely try to hold my own. I mean, 813 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: the guys definitely a legend, undoubtedly a Hall of Famer, 814 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: So I mean, I hope he can teach me a 815 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: thing and too from that rep or those reps I'll 816 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: take against him. But it's definitely like I'm gonna be 817 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: staying across looking like, oh my god, I'm about to 818 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: take a rep from JJ Wise. It's gonna be crazy. Drew. 819 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: What was your welcome to the NFL moment? Early on? 820 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: Maybe training camp as a rookie. Oh, I don't know. 821 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: I mean there was a couple of when I got 822 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: out there because so I was in Calvin's draft class. 823 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson and he was the first overall or the 824 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: second overall pick with the first round pick. I was 825 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: the second round pick. So we always room together and 826 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: I just remember seeing him of just like this is 827 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: what NFI receivers look like. And I'm like, but the 828 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: nicest guy ever, so athletic warren, rookie man of camp, 829 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to throw every single ball to him, 830 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: right Like, I was like, this guy is amazing, But 831 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: I don't know if that was that. So I had 832 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: Mike Martz as an offensive coordinator and he was very 833 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: hard on quarterbacks. It's it's well documented. And one time 834 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: he like whispered the play to me on purpose, and 835 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: I finally heard him like laugh at one of the 836 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: guys because he left his mic on he It was like, 837 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: hey see if he can figure this out. And I 838 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: was like, this guy is purposely sabotaging me to see 839 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna be able to do I was like, 840 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: I was mortified, and I was like I stepped out 841 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: of the huddle. I was like, hey, did anybody hear 842 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: what he said? Because his play calls were so long. 843 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: I mean it was like a paragraph and I couldn't 844 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: learn it, Like I was trying everything I could to 845 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: do it. And luckily Mike Furry, who is a wide 846 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: receiver coach or was for the Chicago Bears last year. 847 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: Awesome guy. He was with Mike Martz with the Rams. 848 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: He's essentially what Cooper Cup was so smart. He was like, 849 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: oh yeah, he called this point and I was like, oh, 850 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: thank you. So we broke the huddle and I was like, okay, 851 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: So that's a nice veteran. He's forever on my good 852 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: list of Christmas cards. So you know, I think that 853 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: that's the way that it goes. But as far as 854 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: you know, that's the NFL. Right, you're gonna line up 855 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: against j J. Watt, But I'd be more concerned about 856 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: lining up against Aaron Donald to come game time because 857 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: that's when it really counts. M J. Looking at the rookies, 858 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 1: whether it's on offense or defense, what is a matchup 859 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: you're looking forward to maybe throughout the rest of the 860 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: off season into training camp. I want to see these 861 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: two guards, they're both three hundred fourteen pounds Smith and Sanders, 862 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: and I want to see them go against some one 863 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: on one protection. I want to see, you know, those 864 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 1: young cornerbacks Um, you know, you look at Matthew he's 865 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: six two one ninety five. I want to see how 866 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: he guards some of the receivers. So I'd like to 867 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: see one on one matchups. And I think they're going 868 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: to get that when they face the Titans in the 869 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: obviously joint practices. Yeah, and it's gonna be fun to 870 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: see Hollywood Brown out there right maybe against Marco or 871 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: Byron or Jeff Gladdie knew his cornerback for the Cardinals. Yeah, 872 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: I think it right now if they you look at 873 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 1: the top three corners, is probably Murphy Gladney and then 874 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: throwing Marco Wilson. Cardinals season is quickly approaching home opener 875 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Get your tickets 876 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: now at asy Cardinals dot com slash season more red 877 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: Sea report. Right after this, keeps up on the football 878 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 1: this time. Of the two backs set on first and 879 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: goal right, is Noah Gread gonna give it off, Carol Way, 880 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 1: It's got to back to the left at the starting 881 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: right into the end zone. Todd Kansas City Daryl Williams, 882 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: smart and tough, cutting back to his left, homes parking 883 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: up the calls right for in front of the left 884 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: of the near edge takes the snap close of the 885 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: flat Darrel Way at fifteen ten five lid touchdown Kansas City. 886 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: The Raiders still aren't covering Darryl Williams. It's a twenty 887 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: three yard touchdown on a flat road and yards after 888 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: the catch by d will That's Mitch holts Us with 889 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 1: the call from Chiefs Radio Network on running back Darryl Williams, 890 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: whom the Cardinals are reportedly signing, who was with Kansas 891 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,479 Speaker 1: City last season. Welcome back into the Red Sea Report 892 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: presented by Sea Geek alongside Mike Dreckie and Drew stan 893 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: I'm Danny Siak. James Connor is the starting running back. 894 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: We've known that for the Cardinals. They brought him back 895 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: in free agency. However, they lost Chase Edmonds and there 896 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: was a tandem duo for the two of them last season. 897 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: Edmonds is now with the Miami Dolphins, so it's not 898 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: an entire surprise that the Cardinals reportedly are going to 899 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: bring in another running back. Williams last year with the 900 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs had five hundred and eighty eight rushing yards, 901 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns, forty seven catches for four hundred and 902 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: fifty two yards with two receiving touchdowns and zero fumbles, 903 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: and reportedly from Jordan Schultz. Mahomes has vouched for Darryl Williams. 904 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: Why do you think this would be a good fit 905 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: to bring in somebody to pair up with James Connor 906 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,879 Speaker 1: and Jenny Well, he visited a couple of weeks ago, 907 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 1: and you know, as a veteran guy, you want to 908 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: get in camp, and so you know, obviously his asking 909 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: price was a certain number and then they try to 910 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: come to an agreement. But to me, this is a 911 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: great one two punch. I mean, you know, James Connor 912 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: is going to be the bell cow, but you know, 913 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: five eleven, two hundred and nineteen pounds, you know he's 914 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna go chance against his team in the Chiefs. And 915 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: the fact that Patrick Mahomes vouched for him. We know 916 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: he has a relationship with Cliff Kingsbury. So this makes 917 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And you start looking at that 918 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: running back position. You know, if you're a third or 919 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: four string, you're gonna have to play on special teams. 920 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: And so now Jonathan Wards disposers teams guy. You know 921 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: they drafted Keyante Ingram in the sixth round and then 922 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 1: you got Samuel's so Eno Benjamin. So it's going to 923 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: be interesting. But this is a great one two punch, 924 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,479 Speaker 1: and this is what they wanted to do because again, 925 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: I think they're going to run the football in those 926 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: first six games just to take pressure off the defense 927 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: and obviously try to open up the passing game. Based 928 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: on how this team performed when the run game was 929 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,800 Speaker 1: successful last season, drew in the moves they made to 930 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: draft Kyanta ingram Into reportedly now signed Darryl Williams. What 931 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: does that tell you about how they view the running 932 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: game and how that affects the success of the overall offense. Well, 933 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: I think the room in general, right, you always want 934 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: to add as much talented the room as possible. And 935 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,720 Speaker 1: you get a guy like this that's on the street 936 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: now and the dust to settle from free agency and 937 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: from the draft, and strategically he's looking to see if 938 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: this is a good fit. It's obviously a good fit 939 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: for the Cardinal So to get a player of his 940 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,919 Speaker 1: caliber at this point in time is huge. His skill 941 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: set speaks for itself. I think the receiving yards coupled 942 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 1: with the yards on the ground, they can match very well, 943 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: and you talked about it with losing somebody like Chase Edmonds. 944 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: I love the idea of getting them both on the 945 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: field together. You get both those top two running backs 946 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: on the field, and you see what defensive personnel shows up, 947 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: and you can do different things, much like with twelve personnel, 948 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: two tight on the Titans on the field, however, you 949 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: can establish a run game that's going to matter and 950 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: be meaningful and do it different ways. And you know 951 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: Cliff's very good at strategically finding good matchups. But then 952 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: within that run game, what that looks like. Being able 953 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: to free release backs out of the backfield, being able 954 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 1: to line them up in different spots, all these things. 955 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: This running back in particular has a skill set that 956 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: leads to a slot type of wide receiver. Anyway, So again, 957 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: knowing that DeAndre is going to be out for the 958 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: time period he's out, this is a playmaker. You get 959 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands in any facet and he's 960 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: shown on tape in NFL games and meaningful games for 961 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs that he can be a playmaker. 962 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: Something to keep in mind you, Andrew Hopkins is spend 963 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: it the first six games so that running game might 964 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 1: be all the more important as this team has to adjust. 965 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: I fully believe that, and it's going to start with 966 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Now you still have Kyler Murray. He 967 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 1: could be another weapon in design runs, but Clearius starts 968 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: up front, and if they can run the football and 969 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: get a lead and late in the fourth quarter, all 970 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've got multiple backs that can run 971 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: the clock out. There's more OTA's coming next couple of weeks, 972 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: so we'll see who's there.
