That's the way. That's the way 31 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: it works. You know that's because you know it's about 32 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: a production and performance bace business. That's exactly what it's 33 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: all about. And uh, man, do we have a lot 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: to talk about tonight? Do we not? Do we? Why? 35 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: What's happened? I don't know? Well, let's see um okay, 36 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: see spend nearly a decade in the NFL playing linebacker, right, 37 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: former first round pick? Yourself? Uh? Can I say that 38 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: that Kyler was playing defense today that Kyler was a 39 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: two way player, that he you know, look, the headline 40 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: on NFL Network was Kyler's clap back. Yeah, yeah, I don't. 41 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't think he was playing defense. I think he 42 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: was going on the offense. And and and really good 43 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: for him because had he not come out and set 44 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: things straight and you know, explained himself and explained kind 45 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: of his situation and the situation with this contract and 46 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: with the homework quote unquote clause, it would have been 47 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: left to social media and to talk radio to tell 48 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: that story. And so I think it was important Number 49 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: one for Kyler as a leader. I think that showed 50 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: great leadership. Number two just for him to get out 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: there and set the narrative and to really reset things 52 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: going forward for him, for the Cardinals and for this relationship. 53 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: And if you're just getting back from a vacation yourself, 54 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: it went something like this. On Monday, Kyler Murray signed 55 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: on the line that has dotted literally at the Cardinals headquarters. 56 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: And then about two hours later it came out Ian 57 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: Rappaport NFL Network reporting that there is the independent study addendum, 58 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: i e. The homework clause requiring four hours of independent 59 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: film study per week away from the team facility, but 60 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: there can't be any distractions from the internet or video 61 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: games or anything like that. So you know, and then 62 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: ever since then robbed your point, there's been a NonStop 63 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: negativity revolving around it. And so with that in mind, 64 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: Kyler got up today impromptu press conference and he had 65 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: his say talking today because, um, you know, I feel 66 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: it's necessary with what's going on as far as regarding 67 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: me and the things that are being said about me. Um, 68 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: to think that I can accomplish everything that I've accomplished 69 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: in my career and not be a student of the 70 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: game and not not have that passion and not not 71 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: take this serious is almost it's disrespectful, and it's it's 72 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: almost it's it's almost a joke. You know. Um, it's 73 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: to me, I'm not sixty seven to two thirty. I 74 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: don't throw the ball eighty five yards. I'm I'm already 75 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: behind the eight ball. You know, I can't afford to 76 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: take any shortcuts, no pun intended, but those things you 77 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: can't accomplish you don't take the game serious if you 78 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: don't prepare the right way. And you know, it's like 79 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: I said, it's it's laughable, you know things, and Rob 80 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: you can relate to this as a former Raider yourself. 81 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: Things really got just a nine and outlandish when there 82 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: were actually comparisons to JaMarcus Russell thrown out there earlier 83 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: this week. I mean, come on, Kyler was the NFL 84 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: offensive rookie either or Kyler Murray's been a Pro Bowl 85 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: or each of his next two years. DaMarcus Russell did 86 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing zero, And so I think that's probably just 87 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: one of many things that that irked Kyler and prompted 88 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: him to get up there, unscheduled, unannounced and addressed the media. Yeah, 89 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: I think he was irked, and he should have been, 90 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: because you know, before he got there, before he got 91 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: up there and spoke, it was really up to social 92 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: media and and to talk radio to set the narrative, 93 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: to to feed on all these stereotypes or all the 94 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: all these um, you know, misconceptions that you know, he's 95 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: not a hard worker, he doesn't put in the time 96 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: that you know that it's video games over video, watching 97 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: football video. So it it really was up to him 98 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: to get up there and set the record straight. And 99 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: you know, going forward, I still don't think that this 100 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: thing has put to bed. I think it will continue 101 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: to linger on. Now it'll it'll just be little social 102 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: media equips and funny little posts by people. When maybe 103 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: Kyler throws an interception, I guess he didn't study this week. 104 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna have that, um, But I do think he did. 105 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: He went a long way today and what he did 106 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: in that press conference and writing it and putting his 107 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: mark on what the story really is. Again Kyler saying, quote, 108 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: it's disrespectful. It's almost a joke. And then he continued 109 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: and once again, this is right off the top. He 110 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: didn't take any questions to begin. He had a statement, 111 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: and he continued with this, I refuse to let my 112 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: work ethic and my preparation be in question. You know, 113 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: I've put an incomprehensible amount of time and blows, sweat, tears, 114 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: and work into what i'd do. To those of you 115 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: out there that believe that I'd be standing here today 116 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: in front without having a work ethic and without preparing, 117 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm honored that you think that, but it's not possible. 118 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: He was asked also rob whether he has any regrets 119 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: about the New York Times article, in particular the quote 120 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: where he said he doesn't quote unquote kill himself watching film. 121 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: And his response to that was no, not at all. 122 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: That there's multiple different ways to learn and watch the game. So, 123 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, once again pushing back against some sort of 124 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: narrative that he can just roll out there on game 125 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: day and you know, and just create organically that there's 126 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: no preparation whatsoever, which look, which started to get out 127 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: of hand obviously throughout the entire week to the point 128 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: where Kyler felt compelled to address it. Yeah, and look, 129 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: his work ethic. Work ethic is a couple of things 130 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: in football. It's it's the physical aspect and it's the 131 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: mental aspect, and you need both to be successful in 132 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: this league. There's not a football player in the NFL 133 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals. Kyler Murray included that does not 134 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: put in extra work beyond what is required via the 135 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: collective barning agreement or via individual player contracts. Everyone does. 136 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: They have to otherwise you won't succeed. You will you 137 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: will you won't be on the team. Um. This really, 138 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: this clause though, really spoke only to the mental aspect, 139 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: the mental preparation UH in game week and leading up 140 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: to the game. It didn't speak to I've never seen 141 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: it before. I've I've seen physical clauses in contracts before. 142 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: You know, you have a weight clause, you have to 143 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: be under a certain weight. UM, offseason workout uh, incentives 144 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: for players to keep them around the building, keep them 145 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: in good shape. But this, this is, this is groundbreaking, 146 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: Phil Paul Honestly, UM, I'm interested to see the ripple 147 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: effect of this and what this means for future contracts 148 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: for other players other leagues. Is this going to be 149 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: the new normal? I'm not sure. And look, I'm convinced 150 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: it goes back to that New York Times article. Now, 151 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: whether the team was aware of it or not, but 152 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: that certainly did you know, set a precedent of sorts, 153 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: and it got it out there. And when you're giving 154 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: a franchise record contract to a player, any player, there's 155 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: going to be safeguards in there. And for the most part, 156 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anyone who said they've ever seen a 157 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: clause quite like this. The Andrew Brands of the world 158 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: who've been doing NFL contracts and or studying them for 159 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: three decades and l Brian Baldinger was NFL Network today saying, 160 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: and I quote I'm against these sort of clauses because 161 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: they're very divisive, but once again team Kyler agreed to 162 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: it obviously, and I'll just said zoom out for a minute. 163 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: I said this earlier this week on Cardinals Underground, the 164 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: podcast that to me, it's just in keeping with the 165 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: off season. Last year, the off seam was a season 166 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: was all about leadership and physicality, adding those two elements 167 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: to a Cardinals team that started ten in two, but 168 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: after yet another or late season swoons, second year in 169 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: a row, losing five year, last six, and getting blown 170 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: out into the playoff game, I think the mission this 171 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: offseason was to add accountability, to try and create layers 172 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: of accountability, whether it's hard knocks and the HBO cameras 173 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: in the second half of this season putting everyone's face 174 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: on it literally, or in this case, a cause that 175 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: tries to guard against these late season swoons and tries 176 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: to make sure that that no one's relaxing, that no 177 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: one's getting comfortable. Those are some of the euphemisms we've 178 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: heard from from various team leaders to the media as 179 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: to what happened when you're trying to diagnose the end 180 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,359 Speaker 1: of last season, and as for watching film Kyler Murray. 181 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: He also had this to say today to the medium, 182 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: to the film side of things, there's multiple different ways 183 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: to to you know, to watch film. There's many different 184 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: ways to process the game. There's many different ways quarterbacks 185 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: learn the game and break the game down. Of course, 186 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: I watched film by myself. That's that's a given that 187 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: doesn't even need to be said. But I do enjoy 188 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: and love the process of watching the game with my guys, 189 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, my coaches, and we heard that offseason anecdote. 190 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: It was Kelvin Beecham telling the media after one of 191 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: the OTAs that Kyla was in a meeting room breaking 192 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: down a seven on seven session with some of the 193 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: new receivers and leading the way. But look, every young 194 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: quarterback robed to a certain degree, has to improve in 195 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: that category. What's amazing is when you hear a Kurt 196 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: Warner like we had last week in the Big Red Rage, 197 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: or even at David car today in the NFL network, 198 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: they talk about how much more potential there is for 199 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, a guy if you remember going into the 200 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: Green Bay game week eight last season, Troy Aikman started 201 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: that broadcast Cardinals and Packers on Thursday Night seven and 202 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: oh Cardinals against the six and one Packers, and Troy 203 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: Aikman called Kyler Murray the leading candidate for NFL MVP 204 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: at that point in the season. And whether it's Kurt 205 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: or David Carr talking about, you know, how he gets better, 206 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: it's just the little things, just completing this simple passes 207 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: what Kurt calls the layups, what David Carr called today, 208 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: not trying to make the hero play, just passing up 209 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: the easy pass, but instead making that connection in that completion. 210 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: And they both think that's where he takes off in 211 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: terms of his production as a queue. Well, obviously you 212 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier accountability in this offseason, and I think that's right, Paul. 213 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: It is about accountability. It's it's usually though historically it's 214 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: been verbalized, right, it hasn't been formalized in a contract, 215 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: So that that is where this has really gone into 216 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: uncharted territory. And to your point, really about what is 217 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: Kyler's ceiling and where can he go? Yeah, Look, I 218 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: don't think he's even come close to scratching the surface 219 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: of that ceiling. And a lot of it to me 220 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: is those pre snap reads. What what is the defense 221 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: trying to do in this situation, in this personnel group, 222 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: this down in distance. Those are the little things that 223 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,119 Speaker 1: you don't always pick up in the meetings with coaches 224 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: before practice or after practice. A lot of times you're 225 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: breaking down the practice film, you're looking at that and 226 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: you're out of there. There's no question Kyler Murray knows 227 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: this playbook inside. Now that I've heard some some of 228 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: his teammates come to his defense about how he knows 229 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: the playbook, of course he does. That's not I don't 230 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: think that's in question. That's that's never in question. That Really, 231 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: I think the crux of this whole thing and what 232 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: it's getting at is getting him to trying to help 233 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: him help himself to do those little things that Kurt 234 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: Warner talked about and get to that place where he 235 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: already knows what the defense is doing before he snaps 236 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: the ball. And that's exactly what Kurt Warner used to say, 237 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: that he knew where he was going with all at 238 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: least knew his first two reads pre snap, just based 239 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: on the defensive front and what the defense was showing. 240 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: So you're saying that correlates directly to watching game film 241 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: of the opposition, the opposing defense. Each week you pick up, 242 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: you pick up tendencies, you pick up simularities from the 243 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: week before in certain situations, certain packages, you can you 244 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: can pick up so many little things just by watching 245 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: that film. You know, I know Kyler does it. And 246 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: unfortunately this thing optically has just gotten a little out 247 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: of whack. But I know Kyler will be prepared every Sunday, 248 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what. That's something David Carr talked 249 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: about today as well in NFL Network. Those pre snap 250 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: reads will come back. Remember my J Sanders coming up. 251 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: In this edition of The Big Red Rage presented by 252 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: satan Ford and Gilbert we are Santan Ford and a 253 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: couple of headlines from the defensive side and J. J. 254 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: Watt next gave to Henry hitting the backfield by J. J. 255 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: Watt who got off a block and drags it down, 256 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: knocked down and complained it's j J. Watt, got his 257 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: hands up, he bumbles them all. It's flues on the 258 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: far side. Another takeaway. J J. Watt force the fumble 259 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: leveled in the backfield by J. J. Watt. J Terry 260 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: Watt gets the penetration right at the point of attack, 261 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: hitting the backfield and down he goes for a loss. 262 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: JJ Watts snailed him at the eighteen yard line. Mintel 263 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: running straight ahead gets dropped for a loss. JJ Watt 264 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: in the backfield with the takedown penetration on the backside. 265 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: That is jj Watt, Baby, tip and complaint. It was 266 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: tip and it was jj Watt who Gonta and the 267 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals stop him on fourtown again. It was the Cardinal's 268 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: record with jj Watton in the lineup last regular season 269 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: seven and oh he was very productive. I've called him 270 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: not only the rising tie the lists all boats on 271 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: the field, but on the sideline as well. Just a 272 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: different vibe on the sideline when jj Watt is in uniform. 273 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: And we'll get into what he had to say today 274 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: a very entertaining press conference, the big red rage my 275 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: j Sanders, the Cardinal's third round rookie pass rusher coming 276 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: up here shortly or Rob Frederickson in for Ron wolf 277 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: le Year's truly Paul calvesian Wright. As we wrapped up 278 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: the first segment there, Rob, we got a tweet for 279 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: me and Rappaport and I quote the Arizona Cardinals have 280 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: removed the controversial independent study clause from QB Kyler Murray's contract. That's, 281 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: according to sources, a move that happened yesterday, says Rappaport. 282 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: Your reaction good. I mean, honestly, it was. It was 283 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: just a mess, if I could speak candidly about it, 284 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: for both sides. It was a bad look for both sides. 285 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: And it wasn't not necessary. How are you going to police? 286 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: At number one? It sets a dangerous president. So you know, 287 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: they believe that Kyler is the future quarterback, is the 288 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: present quarterback, is the one that can lead them to 289 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. They believe that they wouldn't have invested 290 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: that kind of money in Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray believes 291 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: that he has the work ethic they'll desire, they want 292 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: to and the leadership to make that happen. It's a 293 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: perfect marriage. Let's get rid of all the pre nups. 294 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: It's a good way of looking at it. And look, 295 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: it was in there for a reason. Even if it 296 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 1: was there to send a message, which I think maybe, 297 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: just maybe that's what it was all about. Perhaps, well 298 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: guess what mission accomplished? Message sent? So now you're removed 299 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: from the contract and try and do anything and everything 300 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: you can to make sure it doesn't come up and 301 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: be a persistent distraction over a seventeen game regular season. So, 302 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: once again, according to Ian Rappaport NFL Network, the Cardinals 303 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: have removed the independent study clause from Kyler Murray's contract. 304 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: There you go. Now, as we said, he was maybe 305 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: a two way player today playing some defense at the podium. 306 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: But as Rob said, he basically went on the offensive, 307 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: which is what he did. We know a three time 308 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: NFL Defensive Player of the Year is JJ Watt, and 309 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: we know he is a master with the media. Rob 310 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: he had an opinion most everything, including those Guardian caps, 311 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: said he feels like a bobblehead wearing those big, padded 312 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: extra layer cap on top of the helmet. And then 313 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: he lamented after he gave his opinion, he might be 314 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: fined by Roger Goodell. So that was good stuff. And 315 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: then of course somebody asked him the obligatory you know 316 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: question about camp and jeez, do you enjoy your thirteenth 317 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: training camp? JJ? I don't think anyone does. Anyway, Here's 318 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: what Here's what JJ Watt had to say. Okay, from 319 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: a work standpoint, from what you can accomplish from working 320 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: on your game, working on your craft. It's it really 321 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: is the best time of the year to make yourself 322 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: better as a player because you're you're working every single day. 323 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: You have tons of film to watch every day to 324 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: improve on, and then immediately the next day you get 325 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: to go out there and fix the mistakes. And you 326 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: also get to talk to the old line and talk 327 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: to the tight ends and the quarterbacks about you know, 328 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: what did you see when he blocked me on this player? 329 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: Or I saw this? What do you think if I 330 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: tried That's it really is the best time if you 331 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: utilize it properly to improve yourself as a player. All 332 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: of training camp last year and he's still ready to 333 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: go in week one at Tennessee. But look, some guys 334 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: need it more than others, do they not, rob they do, 335 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: especially the young guys. It's training camps a great opportunity 336 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: for first year players, for undrafted players, for guys looking 337 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: to hook on with a new team. Training camp is 338 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: the greatest interview of your life. It really is job 339 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: interview of your life. So um, it is necessary. I 340 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: think it can be beneficial, as JJ mentioned for veterans 341 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: in terms of just what do you see from JJ 342 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: Watt is a defensive lineman, he can ask offensive lineman, 343 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: what are you looking at it? What am I tipping? 344 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: What are my tells? Is there anything that I could 345 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 1: be doing differently? Just that mental aspect of it in 346 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: terms of getting getting an advantage over your opponent. Those 347 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: are the little things that veterans will take from from 348 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: training camps now in the modern era where training camps 349 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: are not as physical as they once were in the 350 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: olden days, Paul training camp is basically used to get 351 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: in shape for the regular season, but now it's really 352 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: it's just about honing your craft, perfecting your skills, and 353 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: getting ready for that opening opening season. Yeah. For example, 354 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: he said he has a Veteran's Day coming his way tomorrow. 355 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins had one today along with probably Rodney Hudson today. 356 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: So I know one area you've talked about with JJ 357 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: Watt and all the defensive lineman is, man, if they 358 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: can just keep that offensive line off those young inside linebackers. 359 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: Because I want to get into Isaiah Simmons here a 360 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: little bit. Rob Rouderson is someone who played the linebacker 361 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: position for as long as you did in the NFL. 362 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: And here's JJ Watt. Just initially, here's we'll start by 363 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: JJ talking about the unique skill set in just the 364 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: variety of spots that in Isaiah Simmons can play. He's 365 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: a unique individual, and I think he has a unique 366 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: skill set that can be utilize in different ways. And 367 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: I think that trying to unlock that and trying to 368 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: find what that best way to serve our team is 369 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: is what we're doing right now. And I think that 370 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: I trust DJ and everybody to find that right And look, Rob, 371 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: nobody has said he is the weak side inside linebacker. 372 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: Right Cliff Kingsbury made some comments yesterday that he might 373 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: be better suited from what they've seen too, being a 374 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: little farther away from the ball or being up on 375 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: the edge. So it's really intriguing. This sounds like they've 376 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: found a role for him and it's gonna be a 377 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: little different than what we've been told in the past. Yeah, 378 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think Isaiah Simmons is going to 379 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: make his career being an inside the box, inside the box, 380 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage linebacker. He's not going to 381 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: be a middle linebacker, inside linebacker in a three four defense. 382 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: That's just not who he is. It's not what his 383 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: body type is. Um he's That would be a dereliction 384 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: of his talent, it really would. He needs to be 385 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: in space. He's a kind of player that moves um 386 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: like a like a cornerback. He can run like a cornerback. 387 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: He's big, but he needs to be in space. And 388 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not so sure either that that's off 389 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: that coming off the edge. I really think Isaiah Simmons 390 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: is when he's blitzing with speed and power, he's an 391 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: effective blitzer, but out in space and the ability for 392 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: him to move and make plays in space is really 393 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: where he belongs for the majority of snaps. Okay, So 394 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: there's being in space, and then there's being a deep 395 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: center field safety, which we saw at times last year. 396 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: And there's being in space, and then there's being assigned 397 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: a slot receiver, which could be part of a nickel package. 398 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: Will I say, simm it's how comfortable are you with 399 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: him in those sorts of roles. Well, he's comfortable with 400 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: it because he did the majority of that at Clemson. 401 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: In college, he played deep middle, he played deep safety, 402 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: he played slot corner. So these are things that he's 403 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: done throughout his college career and last year in the 404 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: NFL as well the last two years in the NFL. 405 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: So that's something that he's comfortable with. I just don't 406 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: think he's comfortable in the box. I don't think he's 407 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: comfortable taking on three hundred and forty pound offensive lineman, 408 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: and by the way, who is. But if they are 409 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: going to make that commitment to really get him the 410 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: reps and get him to be an inside linebacker off 411 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, those defensive interior defensive linemen have 412 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: to hold up against the offensive lineman. They can't allow 413 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: those double teams to come up to the second level, 414 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: chip off and get into the body of Isaiah Simmons, 415 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: because if they do, he's just not big enough thickness 416 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: wise to really to take on those guys, neutralize those guys, 417 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: get off and make plays. By the way, the Cardinals 418 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: reportedly signed a defensive lineman today by the name of 419 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: Antoine Woods, former Colts and Cowboys d lineman. He started 420 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of games from twenty nineteen through twenty twenty 421 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: one with the Cowboys, so we might see him in 422 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: camp real soon. But to your point about Isaiah Simmons 423 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: and you know where exactly he's gonna play and is 424 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: he really a weak side inside linebacker. Cliff Kingsbury has 425 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: asked this we go, can you define, coach, what position 426 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: he's playing and what we're supposed to call Isaiah Simmons 427 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: slash something. I don't know, Yeah, slash something. We're excited 428 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: about the role he's in right now he can do. 429 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll have him rushed off the edge, we're 430 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: having pressure, We'll have him play some safe team. We're 431 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: trying to maximize what he has as a player, and 432 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: that's a dynamic athlete, then go tackle the football. So 433 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: it sounds like he's going to be that wild card. 434 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: He's going to be that guy that when a quarterback 435 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: breaks the huddle he's looking for number nine? Is that? 436 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: Is that sort of the way you're translating this, rob 437 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: I think So as far as him playing safety, you're 438 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: not going to take Jalen Thompson off the field. You're 439 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: not going to take Buddha Baker off the field to 440 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: replace him with Isaiah Simmons. You're just not. So how 441 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: do you fit You have all these players that are 442 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: similar in skill set, but you have only a limited 443 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: number of positions traditionally that they can play. So it's 444 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see how they navigate this 445 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: within a three to four concept of the front of 446 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: the defensive line. Maybe maybe a four three look at 447 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: times would be better. Would would play more effectively and 448 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: allow him to roam a little bit on the outside 449 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: and play that slot area more effectively. But as far 450 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: as taking out Jalen Thompson or Buddha Baker, I don't 451 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: see that happening. No, no, totally totally agree. And look, yeah, 452 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: it's a game of matchups and it is. I said 453 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: this to Wolf last week. You know his position in 454 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: Week one against Kansas City, the guy who covers Travis Kelsey, Right, yeah, 455 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean that's why he's been working with all these 456 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: dbs and been going to the dB camps and everything. 457 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: He's I mean, Travis Kelsey is an all pro tight 458 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: end with wide receiver skills, and I'm guessing Number nine 459 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: is going to be checking him most of that game. 460 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: And I have no problem with that, Paul. In basketball, 461 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: you'd call it a boxing one where you have one 462 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: guy playing playing man to man on Michael Jordan. Everyone 463 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: else is playing zone. I'm okay with that. But let's 464 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,959 Speaker 1: let's define it. Let's get him comfortable with the reps 465 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: in preseason, in training camp, and let's see what this 466 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: guy can do. By the way, speaking at DBS clip, 467 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: Kingsbury told the media today the Cardinals are still on 468 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: the market for a veteran corner and at Josh Jackson 469 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: had a nice and impressive interception today during a seven 470 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: on seven drill.

All right, so 510 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: what do you think about life in the NFL so far? 511 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: We had Cameron Thomas on a few weeks back and 512 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: he said that moment where he first put on an 513 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: NFL jersey might have been a practice jersey, but just 514 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: the helmet, just seeing the NFL logo was a moment 515 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: for him. How about you, I'd definitely say when I 516 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: when I first got here and I seen my name 517 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: on the locker, but I feel like when I really 518 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: come to come since it's uh, when I when we 519 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: play against Cincinnati first preseason game and I really I 520 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 1: can't wait, or maybe training camp because that's when we 521 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: put on pass again. So yeah, you know what we 522 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: were talking and there's that first day of pads right 523 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: where it's full go, full contact, full pads, and we 524 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: were talking with the Lisidas right about maybe he might 525 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: have to go against J. J. Watt. Yeah, how about you? 526 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: Is there? I mean, is there sort of a guy 527 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: over there like, Okay, wait a minute, I might have 528 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: to match up with him. DJ Humphrey. You know that's 529 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: the that's the odog and guard And I say guarding 530 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: a tray tray mc brian my rookie mate, and I 531 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: would definitely say Guardian zach ERTs. Yeah, sure, absolutely. What 532 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: do you think they're gonna find out about you? What's 533 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: the NFL gonna find out about you? I know Steve 534 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: Kim Cardinals GM right around the draft said, you know what, 535 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: he played some of his best games in his biggest games, 536 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: like when you went against Bama and Notre Dame. You 537 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: would like if I was to grab some of your 538 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: game film, would you say, start with those games? Yeah? 539 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: I definitely say them two games, but I definitely say 540 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: my junior year when I played against Georgia. That was 541 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: really one of the games that sparked a lot. So 542 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: give me a self scattered report. What do you think 543 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: Steve Kim and the Cardinals person old guys saw in 544 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: your film? What's sort of players jes a play hard, 545 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: a person that's gonna come to work every day, and 546 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: I definitely say that they see that I'm I'm a 547 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: playmaker in different ways, even though I was like maybe 548 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: out of position the whole time I was in college. 549 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: And uh, I'll definitely say that they've seen that I'm 550 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: I could be a person that can make plays and 551 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: do a lot of different things on the field. Now, 552 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: how so out of position, my j Sanders Cardinal's third 553 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: round pick, you played the edge, didn't you at Sinse Yeah? 554 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: I played more like filetech, like inside for four eyes 555 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, which is as the edge is 556 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: like my position, my position, but outside linebacker is like 557 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: way more. I feel way more comfortable at that position 558 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: standing up a lot. And that's where Evans Joseph has 559 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 1: your right. It's Cardinal's defense. Yeah. In fact, we had 560 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: your position coach in studio not too long ago, Charlie 561 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: Bowl on the outside linebackers coach, we were talking about you. 562 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: We're talking about Cameron Thomas. Here's your position coach. On 563 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: the pair of third round rookies. They're tough guys that 564 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: love ball in the attack. Two of their distinguishable traits 565 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: coming out of college was their motor play, speed and effort. 566 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: So that's number one for us. Stay past that. They're 567 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: both great people and they worked hard, so it was 568 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: they were easy decisions for us in that regard. But um, 569 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,239 Speaker 1: we're fired up to have him, Yes, wolf coach from 570 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: a little different coach. I'm harder man. They're rooks. They 571 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: haven't earned anything yet, you know. I think also used 572 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: the word fresh meat, so you know it's all right. 573 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: So you guys have been good. So look, that's just life. 574 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: Is a rookie, everybody goes through it. Camra Thomas was 575 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: in here. I asked for a word that described his game. 576 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: He used relentless. Yeah. Uh, we call Cam the coach killer. 577 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, how so I'll ask I'll ask the 578 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: dumb guy question why coach killer? Because he I was 579 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: talking to him earlier to telling him that he had 580 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: to learn how to change his speed because the like 581 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: we'll do stuff for that's seventy five percent and he 582 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: will still go one hundred and twenty. But they're just 583 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: how he is. He only had one speed. It's just 584 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: like the things he do. He go alway. He'll asked, 585 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: you go, I love that he funny though in a 586 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: game though, I mean, you're known for your motor, right, Yeah, 587 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: how how far can a motor go in a pass rusher? 588 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: I mean, how valuable can that be? How productive can 589 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: you be if you have that that trade you can do, 590 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: You can do a lot of great things, especially if 591 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: you just stayed doing it, because it's not that many 592 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: people that want to block you every down, that want 593 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: to keep going against that and just non stop because 594 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: the play is always for at least forty six seconds, 595 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: so it dude, not gonna want to be able to block, 596 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: especially if you go after the play. So definitely, I've 597 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: heard a few of your coaches. In fact, I think 598 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: it was GM Steve Kim as well on ro on 599 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: Board with my J. Sanders here on the Big Red 600 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert and they said, 601 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: you know what, you easily could have had seven more 602 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: sacks last year. Yeah, I let a lot of sacks away. 603 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: Steve Kim also said that my J. Sanders was as 604 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: disruptive as he was productive. So you feel like you 605 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: were there, you were in position quite often, right, Yeah. 606 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: And it is about affecting the quarterback. I know, like 607 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: Charlie Baalhen was talking about Dennis Gardack and he might 608 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: not have had the sack numbers last year coming off 609 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: the injury, but he said when you watch the film, 610 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: he was affecting the play and the quarterback. Ye to 611 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: find that for us, what does that mean for a 612 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: pass rusher just being in the quarterback way or just 613 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: being in because at the end of the day, the 614 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: quarterback he feels where you at, no matter what if 615 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: you in front of him, on the side of him, 616 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: if you just slightly tapped the quarterback show that he 617 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna feel it and he gonna know that you're coming 618 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: like one of these plays. And that was one of 619 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: the biggest things that I just wasn't finishing in college. 620 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: And that's one of the big things that I know 621 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get better at while I'm in 622 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: the in the league, and I know coach bug gonna 623 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: help me get through the finishing part. And you know 624 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: the eyes are gonna be on that position, right minus 625 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. Yeah, I mean this team, there was an 626 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: opportunity for someone opposite Marcus Golden, is there not? Yeah, 627 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: it definitely is. Have you guys been told, hey, you 628 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: know what you produce, you're gonna play. Yeah, we gotta 629 00:33:54,120 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: we got as a me and Cam and Jesse, I 630 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: say we had one to like some as rookiees. We 631 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: had the biggest roles on the team because we had 632 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: the biggest shoes to fill. And when the media asked 633 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: you after the draft about Chandler Jones, yeah, you shut 634 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: that down right away, didn't. Yeah. Yeah, any kind of 635 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: those comparisons, nah, because you are you. You have some 636 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: of the same physical traits. You're long, you're lean, you're athletic. 637 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: But but you want to know part of being compared 638 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: to fifty five?

Nah? 650 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: I met pre draft training training in California and West 651 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: Lakes um Proactive and I met him in Proactive and 652 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: me and him chatted up. What do you respect out 653 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: of his game? By the way, von Miller? How he 654 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: just played, He played relentless, he made plays. He made 655 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: plays and don't need to be made and they usually 656 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: don't get made. And uh, he's just different when it 657 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: comes on to be on the field.

Excited to have Darryl veteran presence, very 698 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: smart player, and then he talks about him multiple times 699 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: so far he's come and what he did this ring. 700 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: And then Jonathan Ward has stepped up every year, and 701 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: then obviously the rookies that we brought in. So it's 702 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 1: going to be great competition. It's a talent and great Yeah. 703 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 1: It's arguably the most loaded position room on the roster 704 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: right now, Cart's camp under away. It is the Big 705 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by Santanford in Gilbert Paul Calvesi, Rob Frederckson, 706 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: former Cardinals linebacker, and James Connor, the Pro Bowl running 707 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: back who will hear from momentarily just how realistic it 708 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: might for him to go ahead and match his eighteen 709 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: touchdowns from a year ago. An unbelievable Pro Bowl season 710 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 1: for James Connor. But we have more breaking news during 711 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: this edition of The Big Red Rage, Rob. First, we 712 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: had the development that the Cardinals had removed the homework clause, 713 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: the independent study addendum from Kyler Murray's contract, And now 714 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: they have issued a brief statement and it reads as follows. 715 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum 716 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: from the contract. It was clearly perceived in ways that 717 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as 718 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: high as it's ever been, and nothing demonstrates our belief 719 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: in his ability to lead this team more than the 720 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: commitment reflected in this contract up to two hundred and 721 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 1: thirty point five million dollars worst. So there you go, 722 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: trying to put this past him. And as we know 723 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: from the press commerence earlier, the imprompt to unannounced press 724 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 1: conference by Kyler Murray this afternoon, Rob, Kyler did decline 725 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: to answer a couple of times whether he was upset 726 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: with the clause or now now it's non existent, they've 727 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: removed it from the contract. Yeah, it's it's time to 728 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: move forward. Clean slate. You know, I don't I don't 729 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: see I don't think he could have been too disappointed 730 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: with it, given the fact that he signed the contract. 731 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. Now it's it's over, 732 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: It's it's behind us. Let's put it behind us, and 733 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: let's move forward with the season. My J. Sanders, we 734 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: just start from maybe a quick word in any impressions, 735 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: any reactions to what he how about is tom Brady comment? 736 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: There at the end, I asked him for a goal 737 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: this season. He immediately said, I got to sack tom Brady. 738 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 1: He said, I've always wanted to do it ever since college. 739 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: And then he ended by saying, quote, and I'm gonna 740 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: do it, sack tom Brady. I love the confidence. And look, 741 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, when you're out there playing, you don't you 742 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: don't necessarily think about in the moment who you're playing 743 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: against us as a player. You don't. You don't think about, 744 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, that's that's tom Brady there. You're You're 745 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,439 Speaker 1: just you're trying to do what you're supposed to do, 746 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: do within the scheme and the defense and get to 747 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback whoever it is, whoever you maybe after the 748 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: play you'll see that it's tom Brady. But I love 749 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: his enthusiasm. I love his vigor, and I think he's 750 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,439 Speaker 1: going to be a huge Asian to this outside rush 751 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals this year. And it's interesting he 752 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: said in his opinion he was playing out of position 753 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati, that he was playing more five technique and 754 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: that he's really comfortable at outside linebackers. So I think 755 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: everybody is looking forward to seeing you know what that 756 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: might mean in the Cardinals defense. And in get opinion, 757 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if there's one rookie position out there where 758 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: you can plug and play, I mean third and long, 759 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: second and long, a situational pass rusher, right, you can 760 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: just unleash young guy even if he doesn't have a 761 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: ton of experience in the league. Yeah, that's that's the 762 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: perfect position because there's there's relatively little in terms of 763 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: responsibilities other than to keep contain. And I love the 764 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: fact that he said that he's work worked with von 765 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: Miller to gain knowledge from from one of the best 766 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: pass rushers to ever play this game, to learn different techniques. 767 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 1: Those are things that are going to carry over onto 768 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: the field in training camp and onto the field in 769 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: the preseason as well. Yeah, he describes himself as relentless, 770 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: he said, not many offensive linemen want to block you 771 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: all play every play, So that's what he that's what 772 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: he prides himself on. How about James Connor, he want relentless, 773 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: just the sort of physicality brought last year and then 774 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: something beyond that. We saw the athleticism, We saw his 775 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: ability to catch the ball, and then we saw his 776 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: nose for the end zone. And James Connor asked by 777 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: the media this week if those numbers from a year ago, 778 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: in particularly those eighteen touchdowns, if it's realistic he can 779 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: match that here in twenty twenty two. Absolutely, Yeah, I'm 780 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: shooting for more schwan win ball games and do everything 781 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,439 Speaker 1: we can. But he's very realistic. Training like no other 782 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: this year. You feel like I'm in dog shape, so 783 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: ready to rule. And of course he's in dog shape, 784 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: rob because he trained a lot of the offseason with 785 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, his former teammated pit So yeah, you got 786 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: a figure he's in good shape. Absolutely, you're gonna train 787 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald, You're you're in for it. But you 788 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 1: know you're right, Paul. Just the biggest surprise last year. 789 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: Everyone knew that he was a grinder, that he was 790 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 1: a you know, just a put put your head down 791 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: and run over you a type of running back, but 792 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: just the athleticism, the one handed catches, the ability to 793 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: get out there and make plays in the passing game. 794 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: That to me was the most pleasant surprise to James 795 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: Connor's game that we saw last year. And you know, 796 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: if he can continue that, if he can continue that 797 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: aspect of his game this season and stay healthy, I 798 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: certainly believe that he can continue to put up the 799 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: numbers that we saw last year. And you know what, 800 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: at the same time, true or false, when the Cardinals 801 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,959 Speaker 1: were really rolling last year, it's when they had Chase 802 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: Edmonds and James Connor firing, and they were alternating those 803 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: two guys and they were keeping fresh legs. Over the 804 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: second half of last season, and especially the last month 805 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,399 Speaker 1: and a half, they seemingly had one or the other 806 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: due to injuries, and it just wasn't the same run game. Yeah, 807 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: the days of the one running back being the bell 808 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: cow that those days are over. It's it's really by 809 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,240 Speaker 1: committee now because those that position takes so much impact, 810 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: takes so many hits from from defenders every play, whether 811 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: you're blocking or out in your passing routes or running 812 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: the ball. So to have that that complimentary back with 813 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: James Connor, I think will only help James Connor. And 814 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,919 Speaker 1: if that's Darryl Williams, if that's you know, if that's 815 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin or maybe even the rookie Keyante Ingram. 816 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: You know, there's there's some depth here at this running 817 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 1: back group that I think really could surprise some people. 818 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: Minus DeAndre Hopkins, especially the first six games, you think 819 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: it'll be a different offense. Do you think the Cardinals 820 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: commit more to the run. I know it's a loaded question, 821 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: but what's your expectation. I think when the Cardinals were 822 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: really rolling, when they were really humming last year, they 823 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: were dedicated to that running game and it didn't always 824 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: have to be effective, it didn't always have to be productive. 825 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: That just had to be there so that it really 826 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: helped with the play action pass and you got these 827 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: tight ends. Now you got mix Max Williams back. He's 828 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: a great blocker. I think the running game is going 829 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: to be strong this year. Right once again recapping the 830 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,439 Speaker 1: news that went down during this edition of The Big 831 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: Red Rage that Cardinals have removed the independent study clause 832 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: from Kyler Murray's contract and just citing the distraction it created, 833 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: how that was unintended and according to the statement they 834 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: put out that nothing demonstrates the Cardinals belief and Kyler's 835 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: ability to lead the team more than the commitment reflected 836 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: in the franchise record contract. So there you go. Special 837 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: thanks to my j Sanders, the rookie pass rusher, for 838 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 1: joining us.
