32
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: I forget the seven day forecast. This is like the

33
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: seven month forecast if everything goes to plan for the

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals July through February. And guess what, we're just

35
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: a mire few days away from training camp twenty twenty

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: four Cardinals camp commencing with the Cardinals going to action,

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: and we're all very excited to see what exactly this

38
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: roster looks like because there's been a lot of turnover

39
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: over the last two.

40
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Years, no doubt about it, Paully. And of course this year,

41
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this time of year right now in July, Paul,

42
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: I think of riding in a CJ seven with a

43
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: bikini top and driving up to Flagstaff, Arizona, all the

44
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: way back, Paul, all the way back to nineteen eighty eight. Yes,

45
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight is what it was, Paully, our first

46
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: year here, driving up and suddenly seeing this wall of

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: dirt coming across the desert. At me, I had no

48
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: idea what a mom Soon I was like, man, I've

49
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: never seen anything like that, and sure enough, with a

50
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: bikini top on a CJ seven got waylaid.

51
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: Paul.

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: It was one of the most unbelievable experiences of my life.

53
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: You want to talk about Wizard of Oz, It was

54
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: totally Wizard of Oz.

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: That was foreshadowing to what would happen to you against

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: Eric Hill a few days later in camp.

57
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: That was No, he wasn't there in eighty year.

58
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, guess what Trey Benson will be with

59
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals. It all goes to plan here the

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: next four years. He signed on the line that has

61
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: dot as his rookie deal today, so that twelve player

62
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: rookie draft class is complete.

63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Think about that, man, You know what, Honestly, it it's

64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Trey Benson as well. Think about when I think of

65
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: Trey Benson, I think of the third round, and I

66
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: think of that third round in this declaration, this statement

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: that Manti hasen fort in the Arizona Cardinal's mate in

68
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: the third round by getting Trey Benson, of course, by

69
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: getting Isaiah Adams, of course, Pauly and then Tip Ryman.

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Now I remember, now, I know Elijah Jones was drafted

71
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: there as well, but to me, the first three guys

72
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: taken in that third round was a statement of purpose

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: by the Arizona Cardinals, and a.

74
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: Lot of analysts of personnel evaluators think the Cardinals got

75
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: the best running back in the draft in the third round,

76
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: and Trey Benson, we'll see. Mac Wilson Senior spoke to

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: the media earlier today. Let's just put it this way.

78
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: I liked what he had to say about rushing the

79
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: passer where he had sacks and three straight games late

80
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: in the season when they finally let him come off

81
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: the edge. And I know you liked what he had

82
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: to say when it came to defending the run.

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it was just the mentality more than

84
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: anything else. Listening to Mac Wilson Senior annunciate and declare

85
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: what the culture of this team is. He was speaking

86
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: the language of Monti ausin Fort and Jonathan Gannon. He

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: was speaking the language and the culture that is the

88
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. To me, I loved it. The mentality, the philosophy,

89
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: the psychology. Dare I say behind it was awesome.

90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: Last week, Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick ral is speaking about

91
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: just how competitive the cornerback competition is going to be.

92
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 5: Highly competitive and it's up for graphs for guys who

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 5: go take an earn spots, which is a great problem

94
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: to have, you know. So I'm excited it's it's going

95
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: to be really good competition. I want to see a

96
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 5: lot of guys take strides during training camp, and I

97
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: want there to be tough decisions on who's going to

98
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 5: earn certain roles.

99
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: There's a lot of guys a dozen corners right now

100
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: on the roster you going into training camp.

101
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, PAULI, what do you think? I'm into yourself

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: right now? Who do you think is going to get

103
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: the first crack? You've got three you have to you

104
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: have to consider three positions. You've got the two corner

105
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: positions of course, and that nickel corner. That nickel corner

106
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: is a starter in today's NFL. For the most part,

107
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: you have to actually factor him in as a starter.

108
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you're always going to have three corners

109
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: on the field, especially if the other team's in twelve

110
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: personel er twenty one personnel. But for the most part,

111
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: that nickel corner has got to be a guy you

112
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: know is going to get an awful lot of reps

113
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: in a game.

114
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: Here's my assessment. You have one proven corner and Sean

115
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: Murphy bunten, you have one known corner you think, and

116
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: Garrett Williams the nickel or slot corner, and then you

117
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: have ten unknowns. If you're a rookie, you're still an unknown.

118
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: Now highly decorated, highly thought of a Max Melton, and

119
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: I can tell you what he's getting high praise from

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: a lot of the receivers I've talked to after the OTAs.

121
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: This is gonna say that Pauly hearing a lot of

122
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: good things on Max Melton.

123
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: Starling Thomas is smart enough to hitch his wagon to

124
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: Buddha Baker. He has been Buddha Baker's shadow ever since

125
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: last season, and he ended last season as a starting corner.

126
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: So okay, Key Trell Clark started last year as a

127
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: rookie and then we saw how he meandered through the season,

128
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: but he is vowed to come back. And then Elijah Jones.

129
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: That's here's a guy who played sixty four games of

130
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: Boston College. That's an all time BC record. He's nearly

131
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: six to two. He's highly intelligent, like a Garrett Williams,

132
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: I mean, and he has a skill set. And so

133
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: there is some serious competition. And it's interesting me because

134
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: this Ronnie lot documentary that's on NFL Network as we speak. Yes,

135
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: that nineteen eighty one year Ronnie Lott was one of

136
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: three rookies on a forty nine ers team in the

137
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: secondary that won the Super Bowl.

138
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: I remember that, Paul.

139
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: It can be done if you have the talent.

140
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: Yes, it can be Right now, I think Sean Murphy Bunting,

141
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: of course, has got one corner position lockdown right now.

142
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 5: Now.

143
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: You never know I did. One of the things that

144
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: I love about this training camp is that JG and

145
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are going to open it up to competition.

146
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you want to see. You

147
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: want to compete for each starting position. Of course you

148
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: want guys that can give you options. But to me,

149
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: to me once again, I think Garrett Williams will end

150
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: up being one of those guys opposite of Sean Murphy bunting.

151
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: And then I think Max Melvin as well. He's got

152
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: let's face it, I know he was drafted higher than

153
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: Elijah Jones, but Elijah Jones to me, could be the

154
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: sleeper in this whole conversation.

155
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: Right, we'll get to Elijah Jones here. Let's hear from

156
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: Max Melton himself right after he got drafted in the

157
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: second round by the Arizona Cardinals.

158
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 6: I'm a locked down corner. I can lock down anybody.

159
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: I ran four to three nine. I can jump out

160
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 6: of the gym, I can jump bar. And I'm a

161
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 6: real athlete, so you know I can play inside outside

162
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 6: of versatility. I'm own special teams. I'm a willing special

163
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 6: teams player. I don't just go out there and just

164
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 6: play some season to play it. I can't wait to

165
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 6: help my team win in any type of former fashion.

166
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: And as you can hear, he has one of the

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: most important components of being a corner, and that is confidence.

168
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: You better be. I love that though. Listen to him

169
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: right there. I mean, yeah, now you gotta go do it. Rook,

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta go do. Just do it, all right.

171
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: So you have that. And also, by the way, you

172
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: have a guy who had Rutgers went against some of

173
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: the best receivers in the college game of the last

174
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: four years, not only Marvin Rrison junior, he went against

175
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: the Garrett Wilson's, the lobbies at Ohio State and then

176
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: again Elijah Jones in the acc And that skill set,

177
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: that size. Here's the defensive core of Nick rawlsis on

178
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: Elijah Jones.

179
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: He can run, you know what I'm saying.

180
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 5: He can play press man, he can veil, and he

181
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 5: can play a zone. He can cover a lot of

182
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 5: ground if he has to overlap in a deep zone.

183
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 5: And then you know one thing that really stands out

184
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 5: with him is he can finish on the ball. You know,

185
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 5: we talked about the interceptions, but there's the contests, the

186
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 5: batted passes, playing through the triangle, getting the ball out

187
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: last second on a receiver like it pops out on

188
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 5: the tape.

189
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: It's interesting. Elijah Jones shared with us on a recent

190
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: edition of The Big Red Rage presented by Santan Fort

191
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: and Gilbert. His welcome to the NFL moment so far

192
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: was out on the field, He's barking out a play call.

193
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 3: He turns around and Buddha Baker is standing right behind him,

194
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: and he said, that's the moment he knew he was

195
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

196
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: Man, there's Buddenbaker.

197
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: I'm on the same field with Buddha Baker.

198
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel that right there. But just listening to

199
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Nick rawlis talk about what it is right. He can

200
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: do this, he can do that once again, Paul, versatility.

201
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: Versatility is the word for the Arizona Cardinals. Whether it's

202
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: offensively or defensively. You gotta be able to do it all.

203
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: You have to be and I think ultimately whichever corner

204
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: is gonna win those jobs, it's gonna come down to

205
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: who's the most versatile, who can play press man, who

206
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: can play in a zone room, who can do it all.

207
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: By the way, you want an all access behind the

226
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: full back club to another. We'll get to that in

227
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 3: a minute, because that's what he does. He puts the

228
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: hurt on ball carriers. And then there's two other phases

229

236
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,800

237
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 7: to take a trip to Africa. Yeah, you know, I

238
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 7: was able to make my first visit to Nigeria. We

239
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 7: are in Lagos. I was fortunate enough to host a

240
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 7: football clinic out there with a whole bunch of one

241
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty kids orphans at that We were fortunate

242
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 7: enough to bring them items football courtesy of the Cardinals.

243
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 7: They came huge for that. They've provided me with a

244
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 7: bunch of football, sling bags, a few scarfs and whatnot

245
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 7: and just being able to give back to the kids.

246
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 7: It was a great experience for myself my first time

247
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 7: in Africa.

248
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: You're flying back from Africa. What were some of your

249
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: big takeaways? What what was going through your mind at

250
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: that point?

251
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 7: It was real from from from my first take being

252
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 7: in Africa, being able to witness the reality. You know,

253
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 7: we're fortunate being being where we are here in America,

254
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 7: you know, being for myself being from Canada, it was

255
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 7: a reality. It was a it was awakening for myself,

256
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 7: but just being able to to witness and kind of

257
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 7: engage and have fun and give back to those kids,

258
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 7: it was extremely fulfilling.

259
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: Anybody who knows Jesse Luketta knows that whenever the Cardinals

260
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: have a community event there is one constant, Jesse Luketta

261
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: and normally Dennis Gardak, the two of you guys. Absolutely,

262
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: it's all right. You mentioned Canada. Your Twitter handle is

263
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: at Ottawa's very own, and didn't you just have a

264
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: football camp?

265
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 7: I did, okay. I was fortunate enough to have a

266
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 7: few of my teammates here, Owen Papo, Jonathan Libett, and

267
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 7: they were fortunate to come out. And I had a

268
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 7: bunch of my Penn State guys, Johan Dottson, Kja Hammler,

269
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 7: Shaka Tony. They all came on supporting me. We had

270
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 7: two hundred and twenty kids come out free of charge

271
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 7: for a camp that was it was amazing. It was

272
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 7: our first inaugural camp in the city and we kind

273
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 7: of hit it out the park.

274
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: Now, wait a minute, are there three Canadians on this

275
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: Cardinals roster right now? They're between you and two offensive linemen,

276
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: right Isaiah Adams and Carter O'Donnell. Okay, by the way,

277
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: you're the only one though, that we have dubbed the

278
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: Canadian army knife.

279
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 7: I love it.

280
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: I just want that known right now now. Don't tell

281
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: Yelda Frohol because we kind of ripped that off from

282
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: Yelda and he might body slam me. Okay, So the

283
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: Swiss army knife, Yelder took it, and because of his

284
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: positional flexibility, he dubbed himself the Danish army knife. We

285
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: loved it so much we put Canadian army knife on you.

286
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: It's only right, exactly. And you know what, we got

287
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: evidence of that in the preseason finale last year and

288
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: I went back and I suggest anybody wants more on

289
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: Jesse Lukett to check out the wired where you were

290
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: miked up at Minnesota last year and it's pregame. You're

291
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: going out for the coin toss. You're the only team captain,

292
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: and the ref came up and you were sort of

293
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: conspicuous by the fact you were solo, and he asked you.

294
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember your answer, but yesd

295
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: you well, young man, what'd you do to earn this honor?

296
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: Hey?

297
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 7: I told him. You know, you got to be able

298
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 7: to do it all all three phases. And he kind

299
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 7: of chuckled at that. But you know that's just who

300
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 7: I always been and open a team first guy, you know,

301
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 7: whatever the team needs. And it's allowed me to kind

302
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 7: of carve out a role for myself to you know,

303
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 7: be a star within my role.

304
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: And you started a game last year against Cincinnati, Yes, sir,

305
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: at full back. Okay, but that Minnesota game, you even

306
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: caught a ball out of the backfield.

307
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 7: I know, but it didn't count. You know, there was

308
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 7: a penalty on the play. But hopefully looking forward, you

309
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 7: know this this upcoming season, I'll finally be able to register,

310
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 7: you know, my first reception in the National Football League.

311
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: All right, so tell us about fullback. How did that

312
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: come to be? And I mean, is that something that's

313
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: still going to be in your repertoire this year?

314
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 7: Hey, whatever the team needs. But it kind of just

315
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 7: came about I thought of it kind of started as

316
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 7: a joke. You know, the coaching staff kind of is,

317
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 7: you know, asking the defensive guys who wanted to you know,

318
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 7: take a red by full back and and make things happen.

319
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 7: You know, me being who I am. You know, when

320
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 7: we have a player in James Connor, pro pro probo

321
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 7: type player, you know, it's a no brainer for myself

322
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 7: being able to block for him, popost some explosive, explosive

323
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 7: plays for him. I feel like, you know, whatever the

324
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 7: team needs, you know, if that's going to allow us

325
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 7: to win, let's make it happen.

326
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: And if anybody knows how to block the guy in

327
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: the edge, it's got to be you, right, you have

328
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: a competitive advantage playing the position right. All right, So

329
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: Jesse Lookete is our guest here on The Big Red

330
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. You've made national

331
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: news each of the last two years. Last year was

332
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: a flat tire. We got home from vacation and my

333
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: wife had a flat tire in the garage. I'm like, oh,

334
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: come on, you know, I didn't have the good fortune

335
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: of but Cardinals fan giving me a ride to work.

336
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: So that was pretty crazy. I mean, was that a

337
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: surreal moment when it ended up on the Today Show?

338
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: For example?

339
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 7: It was because for me, I didn't think it was

340
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 7: that big of a deal, but you know, extremely grid

341
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 7: for that family because in the moment, the heat of

342
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 7: the moment I was stressed. I'm just thinking, you know,

343
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 7: I'm going through my my pregame routine. I left the

344
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 7: hotel pretty early, and I just you know, I caught

345
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 7: a nickd my tire and I didn't know what to do.

346
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 7: But you know, I was grateful enough to see that

347
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 7: family at the gas station. I kind of just you know,

348
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 7: I had nothing to lose. You guys at the stadium

349
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 7: there they're addressing cardinals attire something like they they're either

350
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 7: going to a stadium or they're going somewhere. But you know,

351
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 7: it worked out in my favorite that I was able

352
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 7: to get their own time, and you know, extremely good

353
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 7: for them.

354
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: And you got them tickets, absolutely, and maybe more importantly,

355
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: you got them the player parking pass.

356
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 7: You got them, they got to they got a whole game,

357
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 7: they experience. So I ended up working out for for

358
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 7: both parties.

359
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: All right.

360
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: So then two years ago, your teammate was future Hall

361
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: of Famer JJ Watt, and let's just say that he

362
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: enjoyed a voicemail that you left for him when he

363
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: announced his retire And in fact, let's go back and

364
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: hit the rewind button. Here's JJ Watt.

365
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 8: There's this number that I don't recognize that face times

366
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 8: me like it's and I'm like, all right, I'm not

367
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 8: going to answer a FaceTime I don't know, so I

368
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 8: just let it go to voicemail. And then I get

369
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 8: a text from that number and it's a voice memo

370
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 8: and I'm like, who is this number? So I play

371
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 8: the voice memo and it's incoherent, complete incoherence. So ten

372
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 8: seconds later a picture comes through and it's is Jesse Luketta,

373
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 8: our rookie outside linebacker, and he has like cotton balls

374
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 8: and bows of his mouth.

375
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: He just got his wisdom teeth out.

376
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 8: He's high off his ass, he has no clue what

377
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 8: he's doing, and he sent like in the message, it

378
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 8: says like, JJ, I just heard you're retiring. All I

379
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 8: want is a jersey at the end of the season.

380
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 8: But I mean it is incoherent, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

381
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 8: it shine JAJJ. So then I'm like, I laughed my

382
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 8: ass off. I mean I'm dying laughing. So I FaceTime

383
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 8: him and he answers and he is still gone, I

384
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 8: mean just completely gone, and I'm like, Jesse, what.

385
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: Are you doing?

386
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 8: He's like, I just wanted jerseys and like he's just

387
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 8: like he can't speak whatsoever. And then like four hours later,

388
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 8: I get a text from Jesse and he goes, He goes,

389
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 8: I still want that Jersey man.

390
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 3: All right, So everyone wants to know, did you get

391
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: the sign Jersey?

392
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 7: Absolutely? You know, Jajendal coming through for me. So shout

393
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 7: outs to JJ.

394
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: For that when he put out the voicemail on social media.

395
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: But what sort of reaction did you get?

396
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 7: Well, honestly, I didn't even know I did it. So

397
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 7: once I came to and I'm like, wait, what what

398
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 7: did I do? So I'm going through my phone and

399
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh my god, you know. And that wasn't

400
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 7: even the worst one. The other other my peers they

401
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 7: received some text too, and I'm like, I was kind

402
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 7: of I should not had my phone after I came

403
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 7: out of that surgery.

404
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 3: Friends don't let friends text while under the influence of

405
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 3: laughing gas or whatever. I'm right when Donald Jesse Luketta

406
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: is our guest here on the Big Red Rage Right.

407
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 3: Speaking of teammates, I did not realize until today Micah

408
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: Parsons and Jesse Luketta were roommates at Penn State.

409
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's my brother.

410
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 3: So the fact that he's he's blown up right, a

411
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: couple of all pro teams already in his career. I mean,

412
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: let's be honest here, we're in the trust street. Did

413
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 3: you really see that coming? And how about his versatility?

414
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 3: Because I remember playing the Cowboys last year they use

415
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: him all over the front seven. Yeah, I mean did

416
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 3: you did you have an inklean of that? Or has

417
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 3: he even exceeded your expectations?

418
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 7: It doesn't come as no surprise, you know, just knowing

419
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 7: mikeah has seen how he goes by his business. You know,

420
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 7: he's he's a dog. You know, he refers to himself

421
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 7: as the lion, and that's how he's literally always gone

422
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 7: about his business. He's you know, he's the greatest competitor

423
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 7: I've ever I've ever come across.

424
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: You, guys, Jack stopped the Cowboys last year. Did you

425
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: give Paris Johnson Junior little advice?

426
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 7: Of course? Of course, you know it's like, I know

427
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 7: Mike's game, so being able to kind of help our guys,

428
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 7: you know, that was important. But he's he's he's quite

429
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 7: an impressive individual to you know, to winness on the field.

430
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: So no doubt, no doubt. All right, So tell us

431
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: about this Cardinals defense in year two. Xavin Collins, who

432
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago told the media, he said,

433
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: you know, at this time a year ago, it was

434
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: like football one oh one. Yeah, you know, it's just

435
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: the basics. Now we got stuff in. You know, we're

436
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 3: looking at each other in the outside linebacker room, going, wow,

437
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: this is pretty advanced.

438
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 7: It's time to go.

439
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: What do you think this?

440
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: How different?

441
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 3: Without giving us any classified information, but how different could

442
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 3: this defense look this year? Just because it's year two.

443
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 7: It's going to be exciting. You know, the manchas motor

444
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 7: and violence, simple like that. So I'm extremely ecstatic to

445
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 7: you know, to see the work that we've all been

446
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 7: putting an individually, to you know, kind of put it

447
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 7: all together, you know, as a collective unit towards one

448
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 7: simple goal to win.

449
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 3: What is a revamped and fortified defensive line do for

450
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: an outside edge rusher? Because the Cardinals obviously invested heavily

451
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: in bringing in more defensive linemen.

452
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 7: Right, I mean, to earn the right to pass rush,

453
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 7: you gotta stop the run, and that's that was our

454
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 7: main our main focus on our main goal. So we

455
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 7: have the right people, we don't in the right position.

456
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 7: So It's going to be an exciting upcoming season.

457
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: Three time Pro Bowl or Kyle Vannenbosch pass rusher back

458
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: in the day, said in that chair recently and said,

459
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: you know what if you get those dudes and their

460
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: dudes is defensive line and interior guys, it really helps

461
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: an outside guy because and all of a sudden, quarterback

462
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: can get flushed from the pocket. Fact quarterback can't step up. Right,

463
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: What have you seen or what do you think you

464
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: know so far out of Justin Jones, Blal Nichols, Darius Robinson.

465
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: I mean LJ. Coller looked really good before he got

466
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: injured Week one. I mean, do you think people are

467
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: sleeping on that defensive line to a certain degree?

468
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 7: Absolutely? You know, all those guys you just mentioned great

469
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 7: individual players, but even better teammates and they love ball.

470
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 7: We're we've been able to, you know, continue to become

471
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 7: a tight knit group, spend a lot more time with

472
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 7: each other outside of the football facility. And it's going

473
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 7: to show we're we're excited to play, to play together

474
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 7: and finally get it going and finally get them past something.

475
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: We see all those pictures on social media. Jesse lukettez

476
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 3: Our guests.

477
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 4: Is that real?

478
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: Is that?

479
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: Can that benefit be real? When you have a connected

480
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: absolutely team?

481
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 7: Absolutely? You know, it goes further than X and O's.

482
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 7: You know, the camaraderias is extremely important. Chemistry, it goes

483
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 7: a long way. So it's the things that that people

484
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 7: don't really get to see behind the scenes, but it

485
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 7: goes a very long way.

486
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: You had James Connor say that the team has cleansed

487
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 3: the roster. Will Hernandez said they've weeded out a certain

488
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: element on the roster. Everyone's all ball. What do they

489
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: mean by that?

490
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 7: We're hungry. We got a great we got a great

491
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 7: locker room, we got a great coaching staff, great direction,

492
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 7: and we're all focused on one common thing to win

493
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 7: and to get one percent better than a day to

494
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 7: day basis. There's a standard and Jay's kind of set

495
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 7: that standard from the day he's guy here, we're we're

496
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 7: bought in and that's the that's the difference. And I'm

497
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 7: really excited for this upcoming season.

498
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: You know what's really different when we watch the kickoff,

499
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, when you see it and fans, I

500
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: don't think realize just quite how different it's going to be.

501
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: You tell us big deal or not a big deal,

502
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: this kickoff rule change.

503
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 7: I mean I love it, you know, for for myself personally,

504
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 7: I love to hit, you know, so I was kind

505
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 7: of tired of all these these teams kind of taking

506
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 7: the playoff and you know, taking taking a fair catch.

507
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 7: But you know, it's going to allow us to not

508
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 7: only increase the amount of returns are going to happen

509
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 7: throughout the season, but more opportunities for us to make plays,

510
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 7: you know, and kind of whin the drive start battle.

511
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, fair catches are no longer allowed. Any

512
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: ball caught in the field to play must be returned.

513
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: What was essentially a dead play. There were like two

514
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: thousand touchbacks last year exactly across the NFL. So what

515
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: sort of return team do you think is going to excel? Like,

516
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: what sort of return man do you think has the advantage?

517
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 7: I can't say too much, you know, I don't want

518
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 7: to give too much kudos tint my hat off, But

519
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 7: there's gonna be a few. But it's going to be

520
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 7: our main focus to to you know, to remove that

521
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 7: opportunity and just make sure we're playing our best falls

522
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 7: because at the end of the day, you want to

523
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 7: be able to play off three phases complemential football, offense, defense,

524
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 7: special teams, and special teams is one of the biggest

525
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 7: aspects of the game that I feel like a lot

526
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 7: of people forget about. But it's going to come down

527
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 7: to it as the season progresses, games are won and

528
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 7: loss on the special team.

529
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no doubt the value of kickoff return

530
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: and kickoff cover is gonna skyrock, absolutely and it is

531
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 3: exciting to watch, don't you think you sir? Okay, all right,

532
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 3: I'm curious about all right, here's my question. You got

533
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: a sack in the preseason. How hungry are you for

534
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: that first career regular season?

535
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 7: Surely hungry?

536
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: You know.

537
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 7: That's that's the one thing I've been kind of just

538
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 7: been focusing on, you know, throughout my off season. Continue

539
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 7: to just you know, be consistent and my technique, consistent

540
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 7: in my in my production, and continue to put myself

541
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 7: in the best position to go and find and get it.

542
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: Do you have a sack dance in mind?

543
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 4: Oh?

544
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 7: Absolutely, But I can't speak on it too soon. You

545
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 7: just gonna have to wait and see it, all right.

546
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: And you know, as you wrap this up, you tell

547
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 3: me this offseason, what did you focus on where do

548
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: you hope to be better this year? Did you know

549
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 3: did you target any goals in the weight room, per

550
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: se or body composition? Tell us about what.

551
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 7: You It's my weight, my nutrition and my recovery.

552
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 4: You know.

553
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 7: The biggest goal for myself this upcoming season is to

554
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 7: be as consistent as possible. It's like anything else, consistency

555
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 7: earns credibility. So that was my focus on, whether it's

556
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 7: in my technique, my feet, my hand placement, and just

557
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 7: making sure who went at the top of my rush,

558
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 7: and especially in the run game as well, setting the

559
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 7: edge and making sure I'm buying and setting through.

560
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 3: So last summer, the Mayor of Ottawa proclaimed July fourth

561
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: as Jesse Luketta Day in Ottawa. We're declaring today July

562
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 3: eighteenth here on the Big Red Rage, Jesse Luketa Day.

563
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,399

Speaker 7: Absolute, thank you so much for having me.

567
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: There you go, Jesse Luketta, Cardinals outside linebacker. We continue

568
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: with a Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.

569
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: We are santan Ford and by the way. Ron wolf

570
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: Ley will induct you into his fullback club.

571
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 7: It's only right, Wolfy.

572
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: That's my Guy's got me right back with wolf right

573
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: after this.

574
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 4: Trey Penson, I put the racist one. Gotta beat high stepping.

575
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: He got sound for the hunkers. My down eighty five yards.

576
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 4: Ben City goes now south, Benson talk good to the house.

577
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 4: Ben s down so running Tray.

578
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: Patson layout hat track touch shown professing the third fastest

579
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: combine forty among running backs four three nine.

580
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: Happy with that or no?

581
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 9: No?

582
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 6: Uh?

583
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 10: I promise you it could have been way faster than

584
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 10: the fourth three nine. That was my worst start that

585
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 10: I've had there, Like, that was my worst start I

586
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 10: had in months. I just didn't run the game because

587
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 10: the fourth three was my goal. But I really feel

588
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 10: like I could have hit a late four two.

589
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: Can you imagine if indeed he had run sub for

590
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 3: to three at two hundred and twenty one pounds at

591
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: the combine, there's no chance Trey Benson would have been

592
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: there in round three.

593
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm glad Trey you actually ran the four three nine.

594
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: I mean, here's a guy who can run between the

595
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 3: tackles and he's also a home run hitter. He is

596
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: a finisher. I mean he has the fifth gear to

597
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 3: take it to the house. How many highlights I have

598
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: to do is google it up and just watch him.

599
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: I mean just leaving cornerbacks in the dust. So he

600
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: has that ability to be in every down back. The

601
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 3: question is how many carries will he get? How many

602
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 3: reps will he get? With James Connor in his first

603
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: one thousand yard season, we're talking about that special Thanks

604
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: again Jesse Luketta, the Big Red Rage presented by santan

605
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: Ford in Gilbert we are Santane Ford. Maybe even Jesse

606
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: Lucetta will block for someone like Trey Benson. We know

607
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: he blocked last year for James Connor. But Wolf, all

608
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you might have a legit one two

609
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: punch out of the backfield this year.

610
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: Yes, you said it, Pauly right there. And honestly, that

611
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: was the best thing about the Trey Benson pick from

612
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: Manias for in the Arizona Cardinals. To me, it immediately

613
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: institutionalized physicality. It said, you know what, hey, listen, if

614
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: James Connor gets nicked up, We're not going to just

615
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: change our offense all of a sudden because James Connor

616
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: is nicked up. We're gonna go to a guy that

617
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: we believe we can bring in and he's gonna be

618
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: just as physical, just as daunting. He's gonna line up,

619
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: we'll put his toes at seven, and he'll attack the

620
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage like a mad man. That to me,

621
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: that pick when they drafted Trey Benson, it said we

622
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: are going to institutionalize our offense and how we're gonna

623
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: run in run down situation. That to me was the

624
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: best thing about that pick.

625
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 8: Right.

626
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: So, as someone who spent a decade in an NFL

627
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: running back room, what's realistic in terms of how plug

628
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: and play can he be this year? I mean, can

629
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gan and Drew Petsy rely on him from the

630
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: get go? Because you heard it said that running back

631
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: is one of those positions where you can make a

632
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: quicker transition to the NFL than maybe some others.

633
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: No doubt about it, Bully. To me, I mean, once again,

634
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: running the football is just so much of God given ability.

635
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: It's so much. Hey, what are you seeing? What is

636
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: your vision telling you to do? And that man, you

637
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: can do it. You either got it or you don't.

638
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: And Trey Benson has got it now once again, he's

639
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: got to figure out protection schemes that gets really really involved.

640
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: If there's anything that will set back a young running

641
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: back or rookie running back, it's the protection schemes and

642
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: how involved defenses are and how evolved defenses are. In

643
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's not like College Paul College's checkers, right.

644
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: The NFL is chess, and the coaches have to trust

645
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 3: every rookie that they're going to be sound in the playbook,

646
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: especially in past protection. You want your franchise quarterback. Yes,

647
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 3: getting level, we get it. But a year ago they

648
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: trusted an undrafted rookie and Amari de Mercado to be

649
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: that third down running back because he proved that he

650
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: was stout in past protect.

651
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's great if you can do that, and

652
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: hopefully Trey Benson is going to do that as well.

653
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: It's interesting because Trey Benson could be an every down

654
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: running back. He could be a guy very similar to

655
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: James Connor. James Connor is a rundown nightmare for defenses

656
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: right now, but he also can actually hold up in

657
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: third and obvious pass situations and it's very good coming

658
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Himself. I'm wondering if Trey Benson

659
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: is going to be as good coming out of the

660
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: backfield as James Connor is. In other words, is he

661
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: going to take more reps from James Connor or is

662
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: he going to take more reps from maybe a Michael

663
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Carter who could be that third down back a lot

664
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: that subpackage running back. We'll have to wait and see.

665
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: We all remember what Michael Carter did at the Eagles,

666
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: right when he had the twenty one yard run and

667
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: he made the defensive back just look stupid in Philly,

668
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: basically pulled an Allen Iverson, just broke the ankles on

669
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 3: a crossover and the guy just fell to the ground.

670
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 3: The whole sideline came alive. I mean, there's two things

671
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 3: that'll get guys off the bench on the sideline. When

672
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: a running back trucks someone or a running back just

673
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 3: breaks someone ankles in the open field. That's exactly what

674
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 3: Michael Cutter did. Here's what his running backs coach, Autrey

675
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: Denson likes about Michael Carter.

676
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 11: Michael Carter has a passion for playing the game, and

677
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 11: when you watch him, he's fun to watch because he's

678
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 11: having fun and so one of the things I did

679
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 11: for the guys, I don't mind saying this is that

680
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 11: I got him a frame pitcher, each of them. Just

681
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 11: something to remember and my wife. The first thing that

682
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 11: jumps out on him is as he's running, he has

683
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 11: a smile so.

684
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: Big on his face.

685
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 11: And so that's it's funny that that is Mike. He

686
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 11: smiles and plays like during the game. He is smiling

687
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 11: as he is playing.

688
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 7: Wow.

689
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 11: And that's just his passion for the game.

690
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 3: And he's totally different in terms of the body type, right,

691
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: five eight, two hundred pounds. Yeah, it's a completely different

692
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: challenge if you're trying to bring him down as a defender.

693
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 3: And he's right, I mean he runs the way he

694
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 3: approaches things in the locker room. He just has his

695
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: zest for the game.

696
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: Yes, and he's very physical when he runs the ball.

697
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: He's not a big type running back like James Connor

698
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: or Trey Benson for that matter, but he runs the

699
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: ball in a very physical kind of way, which is

700
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: what coach had just said right there. And you know what,

701
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 1: once again, get in line, Michael Carter. How many guys

702
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: have we heard that speak of their mentality and their

703
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: physicality and how you are to play this game. It's

704
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: incredible to listen to it, whether a coach is talking

705
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: about him, whether a player is talking about it. The

706
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: culture is so obvious here, it's incredible.

707
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 3: Dennis Gardek answered a question last week with the media

708
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: and he started by saying, the culture is built. Yeah, yeah,

709
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: really interesting, right, yep. And then he went on to

710
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 3: say that this time a year ago on defense, and

711
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: I presume this goes for offense. He said, we are

712
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what we needed to do. Now

713
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: we know what we're doing. We're focused on what the

714
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 3: opponent is doing, so chess versus checkers. You just feel

715
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: like in that second year, and as far as the

716
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 3: running back goes a Mario de Mercado in the mix,

717
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 3: DJ Dallas brought on, you know he'll get some carries

718
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 3: in the preseason, primarily a return.

719
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: Man special team against special team.

720
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: You know Tony Jones on that roster, you see planning

721
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: him in the preseason. But in terms of the run game,

722
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: Ron Wolfley itself, I mean, Drew Petsing and Jonathan Ganning.

723
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: You're talking about a top five run team a year ago,

724
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: number two in yards per carry. No team had more

725
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 3: twenty plus yard runs in the Arizona Cardinals last year.

726
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: To what degree now that you have Kyler Murray back

727
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 3: as your franchise quarterback, do you think that'll still be

728
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: a balanced offense. Do you see any reason the run

729
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: game is going to go away or be emphasized any less.

730
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: It's going to be emphasized even more, is what I

731
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: suspect right now. Stop and think about this, Bally. Look

732
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: at the last four weeks of the season. We know

733
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: that Kyler Murray played eight games, of course, but the

734
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: last four weeks of the season right there, with Kyler

735
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: Murray as the quarterback, the way he evolved as a

736
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: player and the way he evolved this offense because he

737
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: was evolving himself, is truly remarkable. And those last four weeks,

738
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: once again, go back and look at it. The number

739
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: one team in the National Football League in yards per game,

740
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals those last four weeks, Paul, did they

741
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: run the ball well those last four weeks, You better

742
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: believe they did. And yet Kyler Murray was throwing the

743
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: ball from the pocket as well. And this is what

744
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: excites me so much because I think the Arizona Cardinals,

745
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals have the capability of being

746
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: the most physical offense in the NFL. I understand the

747
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Look, everybody, it's Derrick Henry. I get that.

748
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: I understand they are a physical culture with Lamar Jackson.

749
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: I understand how they value their offensive line and their

750
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: tight ends as well. But for the most part, I

751
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: think the Arizona Cardinals are going to challenge the Baltimore

752
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: Ravens as the most physical team in rundown situation in

753
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: the NFL in the year twenty twenty four.

754
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: Think about it a year ago. Three of the four

755
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: final games the Cardinals ran for more than two hundred

756
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: yards in three of the last four game. Yes, even

757
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 3: though they lost to the forty nine ers, I still

758
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: remember Fred Warner being asked about, well, what happened to

759
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: your rush defense? He was at a complete loss for

760
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: words or explanation. After the win at Pittsburgh, TJ. Watt saying,

761
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 3: we got our butts kicked, we got out physical. Yes,

762
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 3: we know what they did at Philadelphia. And now, just theoretically,

763
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: at least on paper, if all of a sudden, left

764
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: guard isn't a revolving door, left guard is no longer

765
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: a liability, and you added tip Briman to your point.

766
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: How much better could this run game potentially be?

767
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: Well, the roster just got better. It just got better.

768
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: So when you're talking about the number four in terms

769
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: of yards per game, number two in terms of yards

770
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: per play in terms of rushing the football, when you're

771
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: talking about that, oh my goodness, the roster just got better.

772
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: Trey Benson once again is going to help the Arizona

773
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals run the ball. Isaiah Adams, maybe you're starting left guard.

774
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: Maybe wait, they're in tip Ryman. Here's the great thing

775
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: about it. You're not asking tip Ryman to go out

776
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: and catch eighty balls for one thousand yards and ted

777
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. You're asking him to go out and block

778
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: the guy, remove the guy from the line of scrimmage

779
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: that lines up across from you. He can do that

780
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie.

794
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 2: To day, how do you feel not protecting Kyler.

795
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: And now knowing who he's throwing to? You know what

796
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean?

797
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 9: You have a quarterback that nobody can touch, and now

798
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 9: you have a receiver that can't be guarded.

799
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: I mean as a as a tackle. I mean, how

800
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: can you not want to blog for that?

801
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 9: I know, if I've blocked my man long enough first

802
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 9: downs only, so I'm excited about that.

803
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 3: You're like, wait a minute, who was asking that question?

804
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: Is that the team owner? Michael Bidwell, yes, you would

805
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 3: be correct. That was from the draft party. We are

806
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 3: out there, Walt. That was an epic night. I mean,

807
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: eight thousand plus fans out there the Red Sea representing

808
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four draft extravaganza.

809
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: Right.

810
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 3: You had Marvin Errison Junior followed by Darius Robinson in

811
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: round one, and nobody was more appreciative or cheering louder

812
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 3: than his former Ohiose State teammate Paris Johnson Junior. Because

813
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 3: he knows, he knows what a game changer, a game

814
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: breaker Marvin Harrison Junior can be. It is the big

815
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 3: Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are

816
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: santan Ford, Paul kelvc Ron, Wolfley, and wolf. Last we

817
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 3: saw Marvin Harrison Junior was the end of OTA's the

818
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: mandatory mini camp. He was running first in line in

819
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: the receiver drills and we all took that as a

820
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: tell is he wide receiver one going into this camp?

821
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI I don't know if he's going to be

822
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: considered a wide receiver one going into this camp or

823
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: not by his teammates, but I will tell you right now,

824
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure the front office is looking at him and

825
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: waiting for wide receiver one to actually show a little

826
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: bit of proof of life, if you will, Bully. But

827
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: I think Marvin Harrison Junior is going to be the rare,

828
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: rare individual that can actually come in at the wide

829
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: receiver position and make massive contributions, kind of like a

830
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase PAULI. You know you've documented this. The wide

831
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: receiver position has been a tough place to make that

832
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: transition from the college game to the NFL. I think

833
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior is uniquely situated to do just that.

834
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: It's been done recently. You mentioned Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson,

835
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 3: both Pro bowlers, ye as rookies, over eighty catches a piece,

836
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 3: over fourteen hundred yards receiving. I asked Kyler Murray in

837
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 3: his media appearance. I said, one of the last questions

838
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: was when I asked him, Look what if Marvin Harrison

839
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: Junior is that guy as wide receiver one? What does

840
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: that do for this offense? And he started by saying, oh, no,

841
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 3: he is that guy. I mean there's some certa hold man.

842
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 3: So okay, all right, And once again, Paris Johnson Junior

843
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: has seen it, He's lived it. He mentioned recently with

844
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: the media.

845
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: CJ.

846
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 3: Stroud went in doubt at Ohio State a couple of

847
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 3: years ago. Just throw it to Marvin Harrison Junior. And

848
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, Paris Johnson Junior is going

849
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: to be relied upon at left tackle to make sure

850
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 3: there is time to throw, and here he is making

851
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 3: that transition.

852
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 9: I think just difference from year one year two was

853
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 9: just the extended amount of time I had just to

854
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 9: lock in on a position I was going to be playing.

855
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 9: Obviously last year coming out the draft, not knowing whether

856
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 9: I was going to be playing the left or right,

857
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 9: or where I was gonna play guard, even during that

858
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 9: whole training process to now just spending all my moments

859
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 9: where was there OTAs or my free time during the

860
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 9: summer by on my own, just everything I do in

861
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 9: the weight room, field recoveries, just getting my body prepared

862
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 9: to play at the highest level.

863
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 3: He doesn't sound phased by the challenge or the transition

864
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 3: at all, and he's been there and done that is

865
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 3: last year o iioa state he started every game at

866
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 3: left tackle. He almost had to start the end of

867
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 3: last year after dj Elmpries went down and we asked

868
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 3: him in the locker room. He said, yeah, give me

869
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 3: a day, give me one practice here, it'd be good

870
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 3: to go. So it sounds like he brings the confidence

871
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 3: and he brings an entire offseason of making the transition

872
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 3: and perfecting the technique.

873
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: PAULI, you could build a real argument, and I will

874
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: because this is what I believe right here, that Paris

875
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: Johnson Junior is the most important position, that left tackle

876
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: position of the year twenty twenty four.

877
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 5: Wow.

878
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: And the reason why I say it, Paully, is because

879
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: I think this offensive line holds the key the pass

880
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: apart two to the rest of the season that is

881
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: coming up right now. Why do I say that because

882
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: you look at the talent the Arizona Cardinals have. Kyler Murray.

883
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: Does he need to be protected by that offensive line?

884
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 4: Yes?

885
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: He does. What about James Connor? What about Trey Benson,

886
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: What about Trey McBride, What about Marvin Harrison Junior? What

887
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: about Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, all these guys that I

888
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: think have potential to be a really, really talented, skillful offense.

889
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: It all comes down to that offensive line and whether

890
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: or not that offensive line is good enough to allow

891
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: their talent to do what they do. And when you

892
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: talk about that offensive line, you have to talk about

893
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: your left tackle and how well your left tackle plays.

894
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: Paris Johnson Junior is going to get the opportunity to

895
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: be the left tackle for the Arizona Cardinals at a

896
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: position room that I think is the most important in

897
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four because it will impact the entire team.

898
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: If the Cardinals can run the ball, they're gonna be

899
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: able to throw the ball, Paul, you watch play action

900
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: is going to be powerful. They'll be able to throw

901
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: the ball. They'll be able to score points, maybe a

902
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: lot more points than the defense will give up. You

903
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: have to look at that offensive line and know that

904
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna hold the key to the rest of the season,

905
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: and in particular, it's gonna be that left tackle position.

906
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 3: And remember Paris Johnson Junior was the only player on

907
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: offense to play every single snap last year. You have

908
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 3: that man as a rookie. We talked with Kyle Vannabash

909
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: on the Red Sea Report this week. No rookie class

910
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: got more snaps, more starts in the Arizona Cardinals in

911
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. You gotta figure that's gonna pay off

912
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 3: in a big way. And then combined with the fact

913
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: that the Cardinals' schedule had him going against Micah Parsons

914
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,479
Speaker 3: and Nick Bosa twice and Aaron Donald twice, and Aaron

915
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: Donald came out the first meeting and wanted some of

916
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: the rookie Paris Johnson Junior telling that anecdote about how

917
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald kicked someone over and lined up directly over

918
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 3: Paris Johnson Junior. He got Trey Hendrickson, he got Miles Garrett.

919
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: I mean, the list goes on TJ. Watt. Yeah, so

920
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 3: you got to figure, Okay, that pays off this year

921
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 3: in a huge way.

922
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. And once again, the one thing I like,

923
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: and it's not because I think Paris Johnson Junior might

924
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: bock at left tackle or whatever, but even if he

925
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: went down at some point in time and did miss

926
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: a couple of games here or there, Jonah Williams has

927
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: actually played left tackle, and I like the fact that

928
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: you have the option of throwing a guy over who's

929
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: a lot more experienced if, in fact, Paris Johnson Junior

930
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: goes down.

931
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 3: My position battles we talked about cornerback. The other one

932
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 3: that's just loaded is left guard. I have nine left

933
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 3: guards poke potentially in the mix, Evan Brown, Isaiah Adams,

934
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 3: Aliah Wilkinson, Tristan Cologne, Dennis Daly, Markis Hayes, Carter O'donald

935
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 3: Keith ismail John Gaines, how critical is it for the

936
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 3: Cardinals to figure out who is left guard is and

937
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: try and get that cohesion.

938
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: I know, Paul, that is unbelievable when I hear you

939
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: say that right there, I think there are four guys. Okay,

940
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: I think there are four. Once again, you got nine

941
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: names there. But man, Evan Brown is a guy that

942
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: I think could be the leader in the clubhouse at

943
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: this point in time. Isaiah Adams. How quickly can he

944
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: actually develop as a rookie? Paul right, I don't know

945
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: what the answer is, but John gains the second. Don't

946
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: forget about that guy either.

947
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 3: But you're right, Evan Brown, based on the fact he's

948
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: just a warrior in the weight room and he's experienced.

949
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 3: He's started nearly every game last year. I mean, he's

950
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 3: a guy. Maybe Isaiah Adams later in the year, but

951
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: you're right, Evan Brown out of the gate, you figure, okay, Hey.
