Speaker 1: one hundred percent ready. I'm telling you already. And Ron Wolflee,
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any better than that boy, unleash the far.
Speaker 1: So I've done reckon that. We picked up and packed
Speaker 1: up the Big Red Rage this week. We put in
Speaker 1: the back that they're American made Ford pickup truck. What else,
Speaker 1: Let's see what else would go in like every country
Speaker 1: music song. Well, you know we didn't leave Arizona without
Speaker 1: our cowboy hat and boots. We got our guitar over here.
Speaker 1: Wolf that there. Paul's the biggest beard I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: We got some uh, we got some cold ones maybe
Speaker 1: somewhere maybe, and uh, you know, probably a shotgun somewhere
Speaker 1: and riding shotgun our dog. Okay, So those are all
Speaker 1: the things that would be automatically in every country music song.
Speaker 1: And you know that's just waiting to happen as we
Speaker 1: have set up shop here in Nashville, Tennessee, Music City, USA.
Speaker 1: And not only that, PAULI, it's also barbecue USA, is
Speaker 1: it not? It is the best barbecue in the USA.
Speaker 1: Just asked locals. They'll tell you just leave it up
Speaker 1: to you to not forget the barbecue like I did.
Speaker 1: And by the way, that reminds me, you better find
Speaker 1: a different place for dinner tomorrow night with Dave Pash
Speaker 1: because he's expecting you to deviate. Since I've been here.
Speaker 1: The gut is hanging a little, Paul. It is the
Speaker 1: Big Red Race presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We
Speaker 1: are Santan for that is Ron wolf Lee most definitely
Speaker 1: Wolf and his own issues. Paul calvc over here, soon
Speaker 1: to be joined by Guardeck the Barbarian Wolf. One of
Speaker 1: the few times you've defied the odds and actually bestowed
Speaker 1: in nickname upon someone that a most everyone has enjoyed,
Speaker 1: including the recipient. Gardeck, The barbarian Dennis Gardeck will join
Speaker 1: us in a little bit. Paul, did you ask him
Speaker 1: what is good guard Deck? No? I did not. I
Speaker 1: was too much in my country mode. We will ask
Speaker 1: him whether he owns a country you know, a cowboy
Speaker 1: hat in boots, considering Wolf that he played at West
Speaker 1: Virginia State and then Sue Falls, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to profile or anything, but I figure you, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a pretty good chance the guy's got a cowboy
Speaker 1: other boots come. Peer pressure weighs into it. Paully, right there,
Speaker 1: peer pressure in when you think of Sioue Falls, I'll
Speaker 1: guarantee you now there's some people walking around or cowboy hats.
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, he didn't own up to the cowboy hat,
Speaker 1: but he said he's a huge country music family. It's
Speaker 1: almost he was almost offended, slash surprised by the question,
Speaker 1: as he said, I'm from Texas, so of course he's
Speaker 1: a big Garth Brooks guy, among others. He offered that
Speaker 1: to the classic country right there. Earlier today, and of
Speaker 1: course that was after the joint practice, which is one
Speaker 1: of the big reasons the Ears and the Cardinals are
Speaker 1: here in Tennessee because they got together with the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans and the two head coaches who were former teammates
Speaker 1: together on the New England Patriots once upon a time,
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel and Cliff Kingsbury, they decided to reduce the
Speaker 1: two joint practices to a single joint practice, and Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury was asked just about that strategy. Anytime you're doing
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven, it's probably the best work you can get,
Speaker 1: but the one on one is good to go against
Speaker 1: somebody else and work your technique against a different technique
Speaker 1: than you've seen. I'll training camp, but I like the
Speaker 1: one day. It's kind of like my Vegas philosophy. Give
Speaker 1: me twenty four hours and I'm good. I take And
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. Paul Cliffs in regular season
Speaker 1: form already with the media. He doesn't need any more
Speaker 1: preseason press conferences. He's good, he's good, he's ready for
Speaker 1: the regular season. Yeah, it's you two right, twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: That's it. You've got the twenty four hour limit in
Speaker 1: Vegas to you, Paul Wolf, don't we know you're you
Speaker 1: and the Warrior Queen. You guys like to go for
Speaker 1: a good three or four days. I get it, Wolf
Speaker 1: and you you guys go up to Vegas and style.
Speaker 1: We don't need to hear about that. Okay, we're here
Speaker 1: talking about this joint practice. You were taking notes, all right,
Speaker 1: among other things. Go no, honestly, right now, I can
Speaker 1: tell you the joint practice. I really like what I
Speaker 1: have seen here. Um, yeah, it's not nineteen eighty five, Paul,
Speaker 1: it isn't. There's no Oklahoma drill. Okay, one on one
Speaker 1: the cards working against the Titans. There's no backs on
Speaker 1: back pers Okay, there's no Blitz pick up live. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: here it comes. We're gonna stand at a human being
Speaker 1: seven yards away from you and just let them run
Speaker 1: at you and hammer you. There's none of that going on.
Speaker 1: There's no scrimmage. There's no nine on seven, the meat grinder,
Speaker 1: the meat at the hamburger drill, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it. There's none of that. But man, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you I think they got something done. Just looking at
Speaker 1: the Cardinals their team period. I'm talking about the Cardinals
Speaker 1: team period on Wednesday when they were working against themselves.
Speaker 1: To me, I thought it was the best team period
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in real life Kingsbury era, just because
Speaker 1: it followed some of the one on ones against the
Speaker 1: Titans Paly. That's what it did. It followed the one
Speaker 1: on one period the individual periods right there where the
Speaker 1: offensive line was working against the defensive line of the
Speaker 1: Titans and vice versa of course, and then of course
Speaker 1: the wide receivers were working against the heightens dbs and
Speaker 1: vice versa as well. I thought everybody came together after that,
Speaker 1: and suddenly the tempo in that team period where they
Speaker 1: were working against themselves was the best tempo I've seen.
Speaker 1: They were in full pads. That that means immediately the
Speaker 1: tempo is going to be higher. But man, I think
Speaker 1: coming off that individual work really had them stoked. And
Speaker 1: there were some marquee matchups. DJ Humphrey's going against Bud Dupree. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was, you know, interior lineman going against Jeffrey Simmons.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Cody Ford against Jeffrey Simmons. You win some,
Speaker 1: you lose some, do you not. But I like the
Speaker 1: fact that he won some. And with that being said,
Speaker 1: here's Cliff Kingsburry talking. Actually, you know what, We'll get
Speaker 1: to Cody Ford in a minute. Let me just say this.
Speaker 1: When the Cardinals defense was able to go against Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill and Malik Willis, Ryan Tannehill the experienced quarterback, No,
Speaker 1: Malik Willis that athleticism, and they got to pick off both.
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy with a big pick in the end zone
Speaker 1: during the two minute drill to wrap up a Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans possession from Ryan Tannehill. Tay Daily, the Cardinals backup safety,
Speaker 1: went for a pick six against Malik Willis. The defense
Speaker 1: seemed to like you said, I mean, the temple was
Speaker 1: really guess, but that's us. What did Buddha Baker think?
Speaker 1: Here's Buddha after practice. We'd like to think our ones are,
Speaker 1: you know, really good. If we can do great against them,
Speaker 1: I feel like we can do great against anybody. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we competed, you know, got some picks, got
Speaker 1: our hands on the football and it was a great day.
Speaker 1: Really was that two minute team period, man, that that
Speaker 1: work against the Tennessee Titans at the end. That was
Speaker 1: after the Arizona Cardinals actually went with their own team
Speaker 1: period and worked against themselves that we were talking about
Speaker 1: that two minute team period to end practice. Man, that
Speaker 1: was some excellent work right there, because think about it,
Speaker 1: how many starters for the Cardinals are never gonna see
Speaker 1: a snap in August in the preseason. So this really
Speaker 1: was there a way to get battle tested for Week
Speaker 1: one against Kansas City. You know, DJ Humphreys and Kelvin Beecham,
Speaker 1: they're not going to see any any action here in
Speaker 1: the preseasons, but there they were going against Bud Dupree
Speaker 1: and Harold Landry. This was the future, Polly, I believe
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Right here, they're going to eliminate I think,
Speaker 1: another preseason game and they're going to replace it with
Speaker 1: teams working against teams. All right, Cody Ford, you mentioned him.
Speaker 1: He is now an Arizona Cardinal after the Cardinals traded
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick to the Buffalo Bills for a
Speaker 1: guy who's taking high top round two a few years ago,
Speaker 1: former teammates with Kyler Murray and Hollywood Brown, and right away,
Speaker 1: because of the injury to Justin Pugh, he was running
Speaker 1: first team left guard. So Cliff Kingsbury got a long
Speaker 1: look at Cody Ford in a Cardinal's uniform and here's
Speaker 1: the head coach. Big Nasty obviously has played at a
Speaker 1: high level, you know, whether it's college or when he
Speaker 1: had a chance in Buffalo, and so we're excited to
Speaker 1: be able to come out here and pick enough up
Speaker 1: to go in there. It was pretty impressive, and we
Speaker 1: just gotta chieve spoon feeding him the offense and getting
Speaker 1: ready for week one and guess what he's gonna play
Speaker 1: Saturday night against the Titans. Just a little bit ago
Speaker 1: earlier today, Cliff Kingsbury told us meeting the media, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get some reps. Cody Ford. We talked to him,
Speaker 1: he said already. It's just just that we know the
Speaker 1: room is great, the old line room. Yeah. DJ Humphreys
Speaker 1: and Kelvin Beacham and Ronnie has an justin few just
Speaker 1: the personality. He's the good mix of young and veteran guys.
Speaker 1: And then his ability to connect right away with a
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Hollywood Brown. He called it surreal. Cody Ford.
Speaker 1: But when they say he has an edge, I asked
Speaker 1: him at one point in the media session whether he
Speaker 1: has a confidence that he can excel and eliminate any
Speaker 1: questions about his game that maybe some of the Bills
Speaker 1: fans had, as you saw some of the reaction after
Speaker 1: he got traded away from Buffalo and never quite fulfilled
Speaker 1: those expectations of a high second round pick nailing down
Speaker 1: a starting job on that Bill's offensive line. And he
Speaker 1: looked me in the eye said, well, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say what I want to say, but let's just say
Speaker 1: I'm confident I can play in this league. Paul. He
Speaker 1: eyeballed you. He looked down at me. Okay, and well everybody,
Speaker 1: he gave me that stare, that death stare. It's kin
Speaker 1: to a stair I got from Buddha Baker yesterday. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that a little bit later. Here's what I
Speaker 1: love about Cody Ford. Right now, Paul, don't bring that trouble.
Speaker 1: He's all about that base. Okay, Paul, I'm just saying
Speaker 1: country music this week. Well, this guy, I did you
Speaker 1: see him, Paul? I mean, this guy is thick from
Speaker 1: the waist out. Oh my goodness, I think right now
Speaker 1: you've got a little something something coming out of the
Speaker 1: side of his neck, very much like Will Hernandez on
Speaker 1: the right side. You got Will Hernandez at right guard.
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, you're gonna tell me
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Cody Ford. Now, I know it's only
Speaker 1: till Justin Pugh comes back. And I'm really not worried
Speaker 1: about Justin Pew a stinger as a stinger, I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay. It shouldn't impede him or affect
Speaker 1: him anywhere in the future as far as as Kansas
Speaker 1: City goes. So I feel really really good about that.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know something different on that. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: expect to see him week one, but I think right now,
Speaker 1: if you told me that you had Cody fordham a maler.
Speaker 1: As a matter of Lorenzo Alexander told me a former
Speaker 1: teammate of Cody Ford that he was a maler, and
Speaker 1: then you got Will Hernandez at Raich guard PAULI you
Speaker 1: know what, Hey, that's a good comparison. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: think about all the similarities, the body type, the mentality,
Speaker 1: the playing style. Yes, well, the fact they were both
Speaker 1: high second round picks. It didn't quite get complete traction
Speaker 1: with their original team. Yeah, the Cardinals. They signed Will
Speaker 1: Hernandez for dang near the veterans minimum, gave up only
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick for Cody Fordham. By the way,
Speaker 1: they have a bunch of compics next year, so it
Speaker 1: makes it easy to part with a fifth round pick.
Speaker 1: But it's not just that. It's also because, of course
Speaker 1: Justin Pugh when he comes back, he's going to be
Speaker 1: the starting left guard. What I love about that is
Speaker 1: Cody Ford once again is going to bring depth, especially
Speaker 1: to the interior offensive line, and that's important when you
Speaker 1: play in the NFC West, when you have people like oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know Donald on the other side of the ball,
Speaker 1: well and think about the game against the Ravens, or
Speaker 1: a shod coward maybe didn't great out as well as
Speaker 1: they thought, a veteran guard, and then you have two
Speaker 1: rookies after that, Lucida Smith and Marquise Hay, So you
Speaker 1: needed that proven depth. Like you said, Cody Ford is
Speaker 1: on board and he's been very, very familiar with the quarterback.
Speaker 1: They go back to the Ou days, but they also
Speaker 1: go back to after Haile Murray when the Cardinals beat
Speaker 1: the Bills and after the game. It's a great clip
Speaker 1: from NFL Films where Kyler and his former teammate at Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, were arguing about the outcome, right. I just
Speaker 1: never felt everyone's gonna lose. I ain't gonna No, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can't, y'all. No, we were not No, we were not.
Speaker 1: Bro We chicked three field goals exactly, No, no, not two?
Speaker 1: Ya had you had in accident? Who do think she'd
Speaker 1: won a game? We said the war Maybe maybe looks
Speaker 1: that's good TV. You all was supposed to the hell murray?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. So right now, Um, he's got to
Speaker 1: accelerate the learning curve and get to know the playbook.
Speaker 1: Cody Ford also sharing about everything he owns is in
Speaker 1: Buffalo right now because just the craziness of getting traded.
Speaker 1: The next day, you're on a plane Arizona. No you're not.
Speaker 1: You're on a plane to Tennessee. And then the very
Speaker 1: next day, oh, you're running first team with the Cardinals
Speaker 1: old line and a joint practice. You might want to
Speaker 1: get his stuff out of Buffalo before September. Hits Paul saying,
Speaker 1: because that's snow. Oh it's coming Lake effects snow in September.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Polly, bring it on? Oh boy, okay. Episode
Speaker 1: thirty seven of the Day Pash podcast featuring Buccaneers GM
Speaker 1: Jason Light. How about that get on the day Pash Podcast.
Speaker 1: We're talking right as Tom Brady came back. Dave was
Speaker 1: talking to Jason Light and so that's great stuff. Wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcast, just go ahead and find the pashpod.
Speaker 1: Also following on Twitter at Pashpod. Dennis Gardeck. I tell
Speaker 1: you if there's a guy who is poised to explode
Speaker 1: this year, a guy we have seen him look really
Speaker 1: good in camp. Dennis Gardek. Next on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardak, by the way, is playing Chandler Jones position
Speaker 1: right now at right outside linebacker. Second down and ten
Speaker 1: back to throw flack. Oh sacked by Guardeck. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: what a move by Dennis Gardak. The barbarian came inside
Speaker 1: hair flying blacko in the pocket, gonna get hit and sacked.
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardak got him again. And then Dennis Gardak doing
Speaker 1: an interesting sack dance where he just kind of bounced
Speaker 1: back and forth on his feet with his hands out,
Speaker 1: palms up. I don't know what he was asking for.
Speaker 1: What is good guard Deck. Dennis Gardak got up and
Speaker 1: did a little barbarian dance around the fire. All right.
Speaker 1: That was twenty twenty Week five. That was deni Us
Speaker 1: Gardeck coming in for an injured Chandler Jones and if
Speaker 1: memory serves, two sacks, two tackles for loss, two quarterback
Speaker 1: hits among your ninety three defensive snaps that year where
Speaker 1: he had seven sacks total. And now we have the
Speaker 1: two time team captain alongside Dennis Gardeck joins us here
Speaker 1: in the big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: We'll get to anything and everything football. How's Nashville treating
Speaker 1: you so far? Dennis? It's been fun. It's been a
Speaker 1: good bonding experience, and it's always great to play some
Speaker 1: football against some new faces. There seems to be two
Speaker 1: kinds of guys on this roster, the guys who owned
Speaker 1: their own cowboy hat and boots and those who don't.
Speaker 1: Are you in the ladder or the former no cowboy
Speaker 1: boots over here? No, se I don't want to profile,
Speaker 1: but when I see that you went to West Virginia
Speaker 1: State and then Sue Falls, I thought, maybe, just maybe
Speaker 1: there was a chance, like you know, the cowboy boots
Speaker 1: that had and a big country music fan. No, we
Speaker 1: got none of the above on that one. Paul all Right,
Speaker 1: who who does but I saw Trey McBride it said,
Speaker 1: you know, okay, it's from small town Colorado. Cliff Kingsbury, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm from Texas. But then like Zach Allen's like absolutely
Speaker 1: not anybody else who we might see out and about.
Speaker 1: You know, if this wasn't a game week, who would
Speaker 1: be out there in Nashville? You think? You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure who would be out there, but I know
Speaker 1: um Zavin obviously has his cowboy boots. I think he
Speaker 1: had a game day fit with his cowboy boots on.
Speaker 1: And surprisingly, I think I heard Deonte Thompson he's got
Speaker 1: two pairs of cowboy boots. As something I've learned just
Speaker 1: on this trip, nobody's wearing Alabama gears. So okay, that's
Speaker 1: that's interesting. All right. Uh, tell us about how things
Speaker 1: are going for you so far on the field. Are
Speaker 1: you aware that on the sideline, which is whereas yours
Speaker 1: truly resides, there's definitely a buzz, I mean, the decision makers,
Speaker 1: the evaluators, just those observing like man that looks like
Speaker 1: the two twenty Dennis Gardeck. Would you agree with that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel I feel really good. You know, you played
Speaker 1: the clip early year and just kind of reflecting on
Speaker 1: my own path. Since then, there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of growth that's occurred in there. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: injuries and everything can be seen as setbacks, but as
Speaker 1: far as learning pass rush and understanding what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of learning during that time. And
Speaker 1: now I feel like I'm almost fine tuning at this
Speaker 1: point in dialing back and just being able to react
Speaker 1: to whatever i have with all this new knowledge that
Speaker 1: I've learned, and I feel like I'm playing fast again
Speaker 1: and playing playing good football. Dennis Gardeck is our guest
Speaker 1: in the Big Red Rage. I asked Helvin Beecham's starting
Speaker 1: right tackle about you, and he had a lot of
Speaker 1: good things to say about you and your game, but
Speaker 1: in terms of some of those aspects, he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can tell he learned a lot from Chandler Jones.
Speaker 1: What did he mean by that, Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: important just to understand the guys that you have in
Speaker 1: your room, and so being a guy that's still figure
Speaker 1: out his role, I attached myself to channel on well
Speaker 1: what did you feel on that set or kind of
Speaker 1: what's your philosophy and just really wanted to pick his
Speaker 1: brain and get get to know everything he does. So
Speaker 1: there's some techniques things where it's like, all right, Chan,
Speaker 1: you got thirty five inch arms. I don't. There's some
Speaker 1: things that I need to be able to say, all right,
Speaker 1: that's not going to work for me. But there's definitely
Speaker 1: been a lot of things that I've been able to
Speaker 1: apply to my game. Understanding how to manipulate sets and
Speaker 1: do that sort of stuff is something that Chan does
Speaker 1: incredibly well. Kelvin Beacham also said something about your get off,
Speaker 1: where you're you've improved your get off. You know the
Speaker 1: explosion is back, but there's something beyond that. Maybe that
Speaker 1: does that go to your knowledge of the game and
Speaker 1: your ability to get that explosion and first step. I
Speaker 1: think it's kind of what I was alluding to when
Speaker 1: I said I was I was almost dialing back. Is
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking and waiting for the opportunity to present
Speaker 1: itself on this is what move I'm gonna work. I'm
Speaker 1: more confident in myself. I'm able to get off at
Speaker 1: my full speed, and then when I'm at the point,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna try to react and play football. I've
Speaker 1: I've practiced all all of my different moves, and I know,
Speaker 1: based on where he's set, I need to do this,
Speaker 1: this or this, and then once I get into him,
Speaker 1: it's more reactionary, which I think benefited me back in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty because I just simply didn't know. I was
Speaker 1: just going out there and reacting. Now I've kind of
Speaker 1: refined some things, and now I have the knowledge and
Speaker 1: I'm also reacting. How curious or you do you forget
Speaker 1: us in the media and we wonder about twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: how curious are you to see if you can recapture
Speaker 1: that sort of production. Yeah, it's It's something that's kind
Speaker 1: of consumed me this entire offseason. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: well I had some really good rushes last year, but
Speaker 1: the production was not there. So was it the knee?
Speaker 1: Or we're gonna get back to where we were supposed to?
Speaker 1: All those same question since you guys have have floated around.
Speaker 1: And I'm excited because now we find out, you know,
Speaker 1: I put in all the work. I'm I can sit
Speaker 1: here and say what's going to happen, but I'm excited
Speaker 1: to find out what's going to happen. You got loose
Speaker 1: in the joint practice here and there, how hard is
Speaker 1: it to not hit the quarterback in these practice sessions
Speaker 1: when you've actually won a rep and you've gotten into
Speaker 1: the backfield. Do you find yourself mentally having to remind
Speaker 1: yourself constantly. Luckily we get a lot of practice and
Speaker 1: not hitting the quarterback when we got our quarterback back there, So, um,
Speaker 1: it's not too difficult and understanding where we're at at
Speaker 1: this point in camping. Guys, it's good to win your
Speaker 1: rush and then it's like, all right, I won my rush.
Speaker 1: Everybody can see I won my rush. Let's let's get
Speaker 1: out of here. There was one series in the Ravens
Speaker 1: game you had in your sack and the very next snap,
Speaker 1: if memory serves, you had to tackle for loss. How
Speaker 1: regular season ready do you feel right now? I feel
Speaker 1: pretty good. The regular seasons obviously amped up another notch um,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm nearing ready for that. What can
Speaker 1: you tell about this defense right now? Is there anything
Speaker 1: that you know that we're going to find out when
Speaker 1: it comes to this defense this year? I think just
Speaker 1: how fast we play, I think that's really going to
Speaker 1: pop off the tape. And how much for rotation do
Speaker 1: you think is going to be used? You know off
Speaker 1: the edge because you have four or five guys who
Speaker 1: are all sort of different in their own way. Could
Speaker 1: that be a competitive advantage just presenting tackles with different
Speaker 1: looks that's going to be advanced Joseph question. I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about how how that that's gonna shake out. UM.
Speaker 1: I know we do have a lot of versatility within
Speaker 1: our room, and I know they do a great job
Speaker 1: of putting the right player in there for each specific job.
Speaker 1: If you are a starter, how ready are you to
Speaker 1: be a starter? Um? It's something that you've been training for,
Speaker 1: you know, since since I was a special teamer. You know,
Speaker 1: you always you always practice like you're going to be
Speaker 1: the starter of that week. I've prepared film wise like
Speaker 1: I was going to be a star or because you
Speaker 1: just never know when it's going to happen, And I
Speaker 1: think that really benefited me in twenty twenty. So I
Speaker 1: feel like just the next step now is to step
Speaker 1: into that role. Keyante Ingram mentioned how you've helped him
Speaker 1: a lot with special teams. Are there a couple of
Speaker 1: things that we'd understand that you're trying to instill in him?
Speaker 1: Is a guy who might have a big role on teams,
Speaker 1: just understanding um, kind of schematic things as well as
Speaker 1: techniques on how how to actually Jeff Rogers does a
Speaker 1: great job of giving us the ability to play fast
Speaker 1: and understanding what you're doing and how you can kind
Speaker 1: of manipulate the guys you're going against. That that's really
Speaker 1: all I need to share with Keyante. He's going to
Speaker 1: be a great player for us, and just understanding my
Speaker 1: role as a special team's captain is however I can
Speaker 1: help you, I want to, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: tie him up too much either. You're still gonna be
Speaker 1: able to play on all the teams, even though they're
Speaker 1: counting on you for such a big role off the edge.
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to do it. I love special teams. I've
Speaker 1: said in countless times. I think kickoff is the most
Speaker 1: football play out there. That's why we start games with them.
Speaker 1: So again, that would probably be a Jeff Rogers question,
Speaker 1: but um, I'm ready to do it. A big happening
Speaker 1: in your off season obviously, was the three year contract
Speaker 1: extension for someone who was an undrafted free agent auto
Speaker 1: Division two school. What'd that do for you? We know
Speaker 1: financially what that does for you, but what does it
Speaker 1: I don't know for your mindset, your confidence, what was
Speaker 1: that like that moment um. It's just awesome to be
Speaker 1: with the same organization for another three years. You know,
Speaker 1: as as an undrafted guy, you never really know when
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get that tap on the shoulder, Hey,
Speaker 1: bring your iPad up. So I think it's really special
Speaker 1: for it to be with the Arizona Cardinals. You know
Speaker 1: that that contract wouldn't mean as much if it wasn't with,
Speaker 1: you know, the team that took a chance on me.
Speaker 1: I think that's so awesome to still be here and
Speaker 1: excited to uh continue to work. We never asked you
Speaker 1: what it was like at Sioux Falls or West Virginia stated.
Speaker 1: I remember talking to Rodney Gunter right he went to
Speaker 1: Delaware State, and he told us it was twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: he was a rookie. They'd have maybe three four hundred
Speaker 1: people at a game, and then he's playing in the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game on international TV. Though, What was it
Speaker 1: like at D two for you and and and it
Speaker 1: just I mean, was there a shock factor coming to
Speaker 1: the NFL? Yeah? Absolutely, Um West Virginia State, it was
Speaker 1: family and three drunk volleyball girls. That's that's who we
Speaker 1: could count on for attendance. Um, that's what I always
Speaker 1: tell people. U Souo Falls. We had a little we
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a crowd, but um, I
Speaker 1: remember I think it was our first open practice, or
Speaker 1: my first red and white practice of being completely amped out,
Speaker 1: because there were more people at that that scrimmage than
Speaker 1: I had ever played in front of since probably high school.
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardack I guest on the on the Big Red Rage. Um.
Speaker 1: When you see your Week one opponent Patrick Mahomes, and
Speaker 1: they just posted a stat that in four Week one
Speaker 1: games in his career he's four and oh a thirteen touchdowns,
Speaker 1: zero picks, and a passer rating to one thirty four.
Speaker 1: It's never too early to talk about your first opponent.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? And just just the
Speaker 1: prospect of going against one of the great quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, just a wonderful opportunity to test kind
Speaker 1: of all the work and preparation that we've put in.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a great, a great way
Speaker 1: to come out of the off season, preseason into the
Speaker 1: regular season, coming out hot. I asked my j Sanders,
Speaker 1: is there a quarterback you really want to sack. He immediately,
Speaker 1: without hesitation, said, Tom Brady, is there a guy maybe
Speaker 1: on your list, you know, atop of the list. You're like, Man,
Speaker 1: I'd like I'd like to get to that guy. Whoever
Speaker 1: our opponent is that week. I'm trying to get home
Speaker 1: each and every week. I'm as hungry as I am.
Speaker 1: You know, when we play Tampa as we do Kansas City.
Speaker 1: You know that's good. We wrap it up here with
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardek. By the way, we asked Justin Pugh about
Speaker 1: your head coach, speaking of contract extensions. He just mentioned
Speaker 1: how Cliff, how much more comfortable Cliff is, how much
Speaker 1: more assertive he is in meeting rooms, on the field,
Speaker 1: on and off the field. Just dude, what have you
Speaker 1: seen from from your head coach year in his fourth year?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just just to reiterate pew Um, just the
Speaker 1: leadership aspect of things, Just just being able to like,
Speaker 1: that's my guy, that he's always been the guy, but
Speaker 1: definitely got everybody rallied behind him, and you can feel
Speaker 1: a difference this year. He just counts on you guys.
Speaker 1: He's not someone who's gonna take it upon himself to
Speaker 1: really motivate this team. He's counting on you guys to
Speaker 1: be self motivated as professionals, right, isn't that basically his
Speaker 1: approached to this whole camp in a lot of ways. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's as a professional. I don't
Speaker 1: think it should be on anybody other than you know,
Speaker 1: who's stepping on that field to get going. Obviously, leaders
Speaker 1: on each side of the ball is very important, but
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're on the field,
Speaker 1: so we're the ones that should be accountable for that.
Speaker 1: What was the attendance again for West Virginia State? Who
Speaker 1: was in attendance for those games? That was simply family
Speaker 1: and four drunk volleyball girls. Yeah, that's good. That's good, Dennis,
Speaker 1: Thank you as always, all right, thank you, all right,
Speaker 1: there you go, Dennis Gardeck, our guest on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rachel be back. Right after this first down of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals forty three snap two McSorley play fake sets
Speaker 1: up in the pocket, looks deep, fires over the middle,
Speaker 1: cop fight Dorch at the thirty yard line, turns right
Speaker 1: to the twenty five and dropped of the twenty two.
Speaker 1: Greg Dorch. We watched it every day in practice, even
Speaker 1: all last year when he was on scout team. He's
Speaker 1: got a tremendous ability to make plays. I've said it
Speaker 1: throughout camp. His biggest deal was just getting our offense
Speaker 1: downpat where he knows it inside and out is coming
Speaker 1: forward and play fast within our system and consistently do that. Yeah, Titans.
Speaker 1: DB's found out the hard way yesterday at the joint practice.
Speaker 1: Greg door Chad heck of a practice. So did Andy Isabella.
Speaker 1: It is a big red rage presented by santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are santan Ford. You go on Twitter
Speaker 1: and anything time you mentioned to Greg Dortch, you show
Speaker 1: one of his highlights, someone always comes back with you
Speaker 1: got dorched. And there have been a lot of guys
Speaker 1: who have looked bad going against Greg Dorch in this
Speaker 1: training camp so far, Wolf, how impressed have you been? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know he's been Fantastict Dorch the torch right. He's
Speaker 1: been a guy that has led the team in targets
Speaker 1: the first two games. Andy Isabella very very close second
Speaker 1: as well. But Greg Dorch has competed, no doubt, so
Speaker 1: is Andy Isabella. Those two guys have had great training camps.
Speaker 1: He gets separation Greg Dortch. He just he I haven't
Speaker 1: seen him really drop it past yet and maybe one.
Speaker 1: Literally he's got great hands, he makes the plays, he's consistent,
Speaker 1: he met the media. Was one of the most memorable
Speaker 1: press conferences on his that I've sat through in a
Speaker 1: long time, where he said, in a quote, I'm not
Speaker 1: a big guy. I'm rarely not even supposed to be here.
Speaker 1: I went undrafted, I was cut five times my first
Speaker 1: couple of years. Just the perseverance, you know, just the
Speaker 1: mental fortitude to keep going with his career and when
Speaker 1: they list him, list him at five to seven a
Speaker 1: buck something. I mean, honestly, even our radio engineer, after
Speaker 1: I did the postgame interview Wolf after Baltimore, he said,
Speaker 1: paul there's not many guys that you look out eye with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. You know what's really interesting as well, Paulie.
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to just gloss over that, because
Speaker 1: you do give us that belt highs back there on
Speaker 1: a game day basis. Let me just say that I
Speaker 1: think the wide receiver room in the running back room
Speaker 1: are the two most contested rooms on this entire roster.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be a surprise to anybody that
Speaker 1: really has been following the Cardinals and knows that the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are loaded at running back and wide receive. Ever,
Speaker 1: and I really do believe that because if in fact
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella and Greg Dortch are going to continue to
Speaker 1: develop the way that they have shown in this preseason,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be quality football players in the NFL. They
Speaker 1: are not saying they're going to the Pro Bowl, Paul.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that all of a sudden, the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals are going to win the Super Bowl because of
Speaker 1: Greg Dortch and Aye Isabella. I'm not saying that. What
Speaker 1: I am saying is Andy Isabella and this training camp,
Speaker 1: to me is the most improved player year to year,
Speaker 1: most improved player that I've seen. And Greg Dortch has
Speaker 1: exceeded his output in games in the first two preseason games.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this and I'm thinking to myself
Speaker 1: right now, how many wide receivers. Is Cliff Kingsbury gonna
Speaker 1: keep six? That's what I say, six. Traditionally that's what
Speaker 1: he keeps. But think about it. You want answers to
Speaker 1: questions going into camp. The question was, okay, Andy Isabella
Speaker 1: Greg Dortche, are they really gonna make the Final fifty three?
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a question anymore. Based on your
Speaker 1: big four DeAndre Hopkins, Hollywood Brown, Rondelle More, AJ Green okay,
Speaker 1: and then Antoine Wesley would make this team. We'll make
Speaker 1: this team. Is he gonna start on pop? What exactly
Speaker 1: is the deal with a hip slash groin injury? We
Speaker 1: don't know. But because of that, because of DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: being suspended the first six games, because of I don't
Speaker 1: know the mystery around Rondale More, what is his status exactly? Yes,
Speaker 1: Greg Dortche and Andy Isabella I think are gonna be
Speaker 1: on this Final fifty three at least to start the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't you right now? Well, I do kind of feel
Speaker 1: that way, PAULI. So much of it has got to
Speaker 1: do with Tweezy Antoine Wesley exactly what it is that
Speaker 1: his status is and what's gonna happen there? Man, As
Speaker 1: you know special teams, it matters so much. And that's
Speaker 1: the reason why Greg Dorche, you know, you gotta believe
Speaker 1: Greg Dorch is definitely gonna make this team. Well, I'll
Speaker 1: put it this way. As a kick return, he has
Speaker 1: been fantastic. In fact, just listen to a j Green
Speaker 1: after the joint practice here in Nashville what he had
Speaker 1: to say about Greg Dortch and Andy Isabella. I'll tell
Speaker 1: everybody about dortsche Man. He's just like his field for
Speaker 1: the game, his hands, his mentality every day is unmatched.
Speaker 1: It don't matter who you put. You put a first
Speaker 1: running from him. We know what's gonna happen. Like he's
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna eat him up. Um. That's his mentality
Speaker 1: each day. So Andy Dortsch, those guys, man, I go
Speaker 1: home and to him, I watch every day about how
Speaker 1: they work. Howdy do un complain? They has come out
Speaker 1: there and work each day. Man, That makes me want
Speaker 1: to work every day. You know what I mean. That's
Speaker 1: a seven time Pro Bowl receiver says he goes home
Speaker 1: and tells his wife how much he appreciates watching Greg
Speaker 1: Dortche Andy Isabella on the way they work. So that's
Speaker 1: saying something. I will say this. In that Baltimore game,
Speaker 1: the last preseason game, Andy Isabella had those three at
Speaker 1: least three first down catches. One was a sliding grab
Speaker 1: and then he drew this ball. Then the thirty seven
Speaker 1: yard Pi, he drew and it was all a national TV.
Speaker 1: And I said in the talk back to our producer
Speaker 1: Jim Amhandro, he's made a team. It may not be
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, but he's gonna be in week one
Speaker 1: on it because other teams are watching this and if
Speaker 1: the Cardinals cut him, he will get signed instantly. But
Speaker 1: you have another theory as to what might happen to
Speaker 1: and Andy Isabella and another team. And it's only because
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella is progressing so well. As I said, I
Speaker 1: believe he's the most improved Arizona Cardinal year to year
Speaker 1: on the roster. Right now, boy, I'll tell you he's
Speaker 1: got the attention. This is a guy that is a
Speaker 1: smart guy, A guy that was an engineer, PAULI, a
Speaker 1: guy that was a math major, and now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, a guy that can run a four to three. Paul,
Speaker 1: can you run a four to three? Because this guy
Speaker 1: can run I can't even do the math. This guy,
Speaker 1: I'm over two. This guy can run a four or three.
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, look at him catch
Speaker 1: the ball away from his body. Look at him catching
Speaker 1: the balls. His hands are so much better. Do you
Speaker 1: see what he does. After every practice ball he goes
Speaker 1: to the jugs machine. Boom boom, boom boom. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many he catches, Pollie, but it's not twenty.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many catches. It's not sixty. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many he catches, but it's a lot, Paul,
Speaker 1: he catches a lot of balls after every practice. Right now,
Speaker 1: I love his work ethic. He's going to get the
Speaker 1: opportunity to play somewhere. It looks like the light bulb
Speaker 1: has gone on in the shed for Andy Isabella right now.
Speaker 1: That's good because the Arizona Cardinals have the option of
Speaker 1: keeping him, of course, or now all of a sudden, Paul,
Speaker 1: we know that the corner room is a room of
Speaker 1: interest with the Cardinals, and not for great reasons. The
Speaker 1: corner back room is going to be an area where
Speaker 1: maybe a pick and a player. I feel this is
Speaker 1: just me pure speculation. I feel a kime time trade
Speaker 1: coming on at some point in time for a corner Well,
Speaker 1: if teams a watching Andy Isabella, you know you gotta
Speaker 1: figure they're interested. Other teams don't have nearly the receiving
Speaker 1: depth the Arizona Cardinals do, and then when you're what
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury has to say about Isabella. All right, this
Speaker 1: is the head coach on Isabella's camp. So far, I
Speaker 1: couldn't be more impressed with the way he's attacked this camp.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's practiced every single day, doesn't miss a rep.
Speaker 1: You know, can play inside outside, and he continues to
Speaker 1: run by people out here in these preseason games and
Speaker 1: has had some huge fast in afference calls and made
Speaker 1: some big catches on third down. So I gotta give
Speaker 1: him a ton of credit for how he's worked and
Speaker 1: we'll see how it all shakes out. He keeps getting
Speaker 1: behind secondaries, he did it against Tennessee. And then speaking
Speaker 1: of press conferences, you know, after the game against Baltimore,
Speaker 1: he told the media just how much he thinks he's
Speaker 1: grown about tenfold just as a man. These are his words,
Speaker 1: I've grown and matured. And then he said he hit
Speaker 1: zoom out. He said it might be too late here,
Speaker 1: but I know in the future that the lessons I've
Speaker 1: learned here playing will take me a long way in life.
Speaker 1: And he says that this is the best football he's
Speaker 1: been playing. He has complete confidence. Well, if remember a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. We haven't on the big red rage.
Speaker 1: And the big thing for him was confidence. He needed
Speaker 1: to know that he belonged in the NFL and then
Speaker 1: he can make place. It looks like he's reached that stage.
Speaker 1: And then he went on to say and and he
Speaker 1: just sort of said a matter of factly, but it
Speaker 1: really resonated that they might have stacked the odds against me,
Speaker 1: But that doesn't phase me. They can do whatever they want.
Speaker 1: They ain't going to break me. Andy Isabella, how about
Speaker 1: that right there, Paul. I mean, honestly, I see him
Speaker 1: as a Cole Beasley, a Cole Beasley type of Danny
Speaker 1: mndola type. As a matter of Wes Welker, Paul, that's
Speaker 1: a Wes Welker who's running a four three. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean right now, I'd be really really I'd be
Speaker 1: up pacing the room if our Steve Kaying And I
Speaker 1: was thinking about trading that kid, because those guys you
Speaker 1: just name, they're not burners. They're not a secondary in
Speaker 1: the dust. We have seen him do repeatedly get behind coverages.
Speaker 1: Yet he could run all that short and intermediate stuff
Speaker 1: that maybe Wes Welker and Danny Amendola and guys like
Speaker 1: him have for a long long time. So once again,
Speaker 1: d Hop, Hollywood Brown, Rondale Moore, AJ Green, they're on
Speaker 1: this team. And then Antoine Wesley, what's his status physically?
Speaker 1: Greg Dortch, He's made this team. So there's Andy Isabella
Speaker 1: in the crosshairs. Yep, what do you do if you're
Speaker 1: Steve con Gonna be really interesting, remember final cuts August thirtieth,
Speaker 1: and Cliff Kingsbury said today after this final preseason game
Speaker 1: against the Titans, it's going to be sooner than later
Speaker 1: they make their decisions and make it known to the guys.
Speaker 1: Hey Cardinals season tickets available now. Go to asy Cardinals
Speaker 1: dot com slash season for more info. What are we
Speaker 1: watching in this third and final preseason game that is
Speaker 1: next on the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert. You know the people at Jack we're worried
Speaker 1: to see if Wilfley was coming back today to see
Speaker 1: if he was gonna eat him a house at home
Speaker 1: that Adrian that was just egregious of gratuitous, wasn't Wilfley
Speaker 1: has really taken advantage of this whole day when Rome,
Speaker 1: you know you act like a Roman when in Nashville,
Speaker 1: go on down and get you some marbaecue. Not only
Speaker 1: did he order the combo plate, which might as well
Speaker 1: have been the family platter, he then got a side
Speaker 1: of the pulled pork. Absolutely. I mean, this guy is
Speaker 1: a definition of a barber's disposal. I mean he's ever
Speaker 1: doing his saye. That was exactly twelve years ago here
Speaker 1: in Nashville at a different hotel, a different addition to
Speaker 1: the big Red Rage presented by Santan Board and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: We are Santan Pard. That was Adrian Wilson, who still
Speaker 1: gives you a hard time to this day. Yeah he does, Paul,
Speaker 1: what's your point. I mean the worst day of my
Speaker 1: life when he got his fifth Pro Bowl, right, that
Speaker 1: was which day of mine which you spoke into existence
Speaker 1: by taunting him repeatedly for many years that he would
Speaker 1: never get to four. Not only did he get to four,
Speaker 1: he got to five. And so there you go. That's
Speaker 1: called speaking into existence and the karma of it all.
Speaker 1: That's also back when you were really putting the full
Speaker 1: into former fullback. Let's just say that. So we'll see
Speaker 1: where does it stand this year. The trip to Jack's barbecue,
Speaker 1: Dave Pash said earlier on a text message, what is
Speaker 1: it up to eight at this point? Wolf, you've been
Speaker 1: here a few days. No, Paula, you've actually been to
Speaker 1: Jacks more than I have. It's true. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to avoid the next interview here and the Buddha Baker
Speaker 1: interview that got a little sideways for yours truly. As
Speaker 1: you'll hear in the middle of this, there was a
Speaker 1: Hard Knock promo featuring Buddha Baker in the weight room
Speaker 1: and he picked up a couple of heavy dumbbells, and
Speaker 1: I was trying to compliment him. As you'll hear here,
Speaker 1: it didn't really come out that way as intended. And
Speaker 1: speaking of feeling the wrath, Adrian Wilson to you was
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker to me, here's Buddha on the Hard Knox promo.
Speaker 1: Oh to shrugs, Yeah, I think I saw myself. Yeah
Speaker 1: that was one tens, baby, So I was pretty heavy
Speaker 1: than your body weight. Ah, you got jokes? One ten,
Speaker 1: come on much? Okay? Combined? Yeah? Okay, feel better now.
Speaker 1: I I when he said one tens, I said, okay,
Speaker 1: thinking he's combining them to twenty more than his body weight.
Speaker 1: But it didn't come out that way, at least he
Speaker 1: didn't hear it that way. And so then he's so
Speaker 1: back at me. Okay, he's like he's like, oh, funny guy,
Speaker 1: you know, and he's looking at Paul pencil neck. And
Speaker 1: then he threw in a fudge in there, you know,
Speaker 1: and to keep it clean and family, uh you know,
Speaker 1: so you oh yeah, yeah, we found that out more
Speaker 1: than once on the Big Red Rage. So I gotta
Speaker 1: find Bododha. I gotta explain myself, but yeah, I felt
Speaker 1: the wrath well as you know my ads shake case.
Speaker 1: He calls it a purse. I said, Boodam, it is
Speaker 1: not a purse. He also said that the great thing
Speaker 1: about joint practices there his words now is that the
Speaker 1: same old jokes you use all the time, but you
Speaker 1: have a new audience when you go against another team,
Speaker 1: so you get some cheap laughs that way, when you
Speaker 1: have a new it's out there. So dude, all right,
Speaker 1: So Buddha Baker has his spot all sealed up. We
Speaker 1: know that, but what about backup safety? To me, that's
Speaker 1: a big question mark because we've seen some erratic play
Speaker 1: behind Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson so far Tay Daily
Speaker 1: at a pick six yesterday, but he's pretty far down
Speaker 1: in the depth chart and just makes you wonder going
Speaker 1: into this final preseason game. In fact, he was the
Speaker 1: question of Cliff Kingsbury. Here you go, the head coach,
Speaker 1: how many spots are still up for grabs. There's quite
Speaker 1: a few. There's some good position battles, and I know, corner,
Speaker 1: like we've talked about all along, We're going to see
Speaker 1: how that shakes out. And you know, running back, it's
Speaker 1: the deep room. You can see all this. You guys
Speaker 1: are making plays, so's there's there's some good battles going on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that really is. It is some good high competition going
Speaker 1: on right now in the wide receiver room, I would say,
Speaker 1: and the running back room in particular. We already talked
Speaker 1: a little bit about the wide receiver room preseason, especially
Speaker 1: the last game. Paulie, you want to look at who's playing,
Speaker 1: who plays, and who gets the vast majority of the reps,
Speaker 1: especially now that there's not any preseason game number four
Speaker 1: for the most part, you've got two weeks off before
Speaker 1: your first game. I really do believe that who plays
Speaker 1: and why are you playing him. I'll give you a
Speaker 1: perfect example on this. Sometimes you're playing a guy. You're
Speaker 1: giving him a lot of reps because you want to
Speaker 1: see him, You want to take a look at him,
Speaker 1: because you want to make sure he's either your guy
Speaker 1: or he's not gonna be he or a guy right,
Speaker 1: So you're giving him the opportunity. Many times, you might
Speaker 1: be giving him that opportunity so you can showcase him
Speaker 1: in a trade. You can actually showcase him to another team.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're just giving him the opportunity to go out
Speaker 1: there because you know you are going to cut him
Speaker 1: and give him a lot of reps so that a
Speaker 1: team might look at him and want him that running
Speaker 1: back room. Think about it, James Connor, he's not playing.
Speaker 1: He's obviously your word Corse. Pro Bowl running back Jonathan
Speaker 1: Warred up he was gonna make the team anyway. Now
Speaker 1: you have count to Ingram the rookie, you have Eno
Speaker 1: Benjamin right, and you have Daryl Williams. Well, I think
Speaker 1: those three guys are gonna split a lot of carries
Speaker 1: against the Titans because they need to figure out there's
Speaker 1: only two spots for three guys. Yes, Now, whether one
Speaker 1: gets traded or not, I don't know, but that is
Speaker 1: a heated competition. That is a heated competition, and punt
Speaker 1: pro holds the key. Who's on the first team. Punt
Speaker 1: Pro paul look at that always because you don't want
Speaker 1: to train new guys for that first game against the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Paulie look to see who is starting
Speaker 1: on the punt pro when that game starts, right, and
Speaker 1: that really tells you an awful lot about, Oh, you
Speaker 1: know what, we think. This guy is gonna be our
Speaker 1: right guard, this guy's gonna be our left tackle, and
Speaker 1: you don't want to mess with that continuity because of
Speaker 1: how important punt pro is to a football game. Zamon Collins,
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson, are they gonna play against the tight? Good question?
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury didn't quite answer it said it'll be a
Speaker 1: game time decision because Marco Wilson, as of right now
Speaker 1: absent Antonio Hamilton. And there's some mystery as to what
Speaker 1: exactly is the deal with Antonio Hamilton. They're not offering
Speaker 1: up that information right now. Marco Wilson, who needed the refs?
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, if he's your number two corner,
Speaker 1: can you afford putting him out? There, Zavin Collins, if
Speaker 1: you see him out there? What does that mean exactly?
Speaker 1: We'll see special thanks to Dennis Gardeck. How about Dennis
Speaker 1: Gardeck saying I feel like I'm playing fast again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks like it doesn't him? Yes? And then music
Speaker 1: to your ears when he said kickoff is the most
Speaker 1: football play out there without a dog ball special Thanks
Speaker 1: to Dennis Gardeck. Gardeck the Barbarians Special. Thanks as always,
