Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show, and Ron will flee. It
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that horn unleash the far
Speaker 1: just in Today. Monday Night morphs into Sunday Night Football
Speaker 1: under the bright lights in prime time times too, card Seahawks,
Speaker 1: Kyler versus Russell pat P against DK red Sea against
Speaker 1: the Twelves, Ron Wolfley against Al Michaels or Dave Wman.
Speaker 1: I like Al, yeah, I just I like that, you know,
Speaker 1: will the flip phone be there? I love Al, but
Speaker 1: I like the flip phone even better. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: for a guy who's making eight figures and he's still
Speaker 1: holding onto the flip phone. I love it. I respected
Speaker 1: in so many ways. And then of course he has
Speaker 1: the man crush on our own Ron Wolfley, which is
Speaker 1: our intro here to the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert. You know what, Paul, it is exciting?
Speaker 1: Is it not just a fact the Arizona Cardinals in
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Of course that game has been flexed to
Speaker 1: Sunday night game, the Sunday night game coming off of
Speaker 1: a Monday night game. It's just amazing. What name recognition, right,
Speaker 1: having star talent, what name recognition, a winning record and
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that are competing hard? What that
Speaker 1: will do for a football team? And you know what,
Speaker 1: I think it guarantees you will get the utmost in
Speaker 1: competitive fire and intensity and focus. As if a Seattle
Speaker 1: game didn't already ensure that, but wolf nobody gets up
Speaker 1: for a game in the az like the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the record would prove that. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: whether it's the record and the fact the Seahawks haven't
Speaker 1: lost since Russell Wilson's rookie year twenty twelve, or just
Speaker 1: the eyeball test being down in that field and they
Speaker 1: have no problems celebrating and whooping it up right near
Speaker 1: the Cardinals sideline. There's a game of an intimidation that's
Speaker 1: played within the game every time the Cardinals and Seahawks
Speaker 1: square off. You know what's so amazing about it? As
Speaker 1: we all know, the Red Sea, of course, gives Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals a huge advantage. And we know what it's like
Speaker 1: up there in Seattle. Oh my goodness, Paul, you know
Speaker 1: bad better than anybody standing on that sideline out of doors,
Speaker 1: standing on that sideline, you know how loud that place gets.
Speaker 1: And yet here it is the other owns the other.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Cardinals own it up there in Seattle,
Speaker 1: and Seattle owns it here. Honestly, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: bigger challenge than ever to go up to Seattle for
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals minus the fans, because that's what they
Speaker 1: feed off, that's the energy they use us against the
Speaker 1: world in the NFL's loudest road venue for the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: and in the absence of that, I'm real curious now,
Speaker 1: I fully expect them to still be in the playoff
Speaker 1: race and there's gonna be plenty to play for. But heck,
Speaker 1: you go back two years ago the Steve Wolks three
Speaker 1: win season, the Cardinals still gave them a heck of
Speaker 1: a game and fought them to the very end. So
Speaker 1: this will be good stuff on Sunday night after the
Speaker 1: Monday night game where Wolf did the Cardinals or did
Speaker 1: they not turn a corner of sorts? Do you think
Speaker 1: in that game against Alas? Yeah, Paully, honestly, right now,
Speaker 1: their defense played very, very well, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: The rushing attack was there in full fours. Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: only completed nine passes, only completed one pass in the
Speaker 1: second half, which still blows my mind, and yet dominated
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, thirty eight points on the board,
Speaker 1: and after the Cardinals went up twenty one to three,
Speaker 1: they attempted six passes after that. Think about that and
Speaker 1: just that hard nosed football. We saw what happens when
Speaker 1: and if this offense truly breaks out and clicks and everything.
Speaker 1: You know, they start out with three straight punts and
Speaker 1: then when four straight touchdown drives. We'll get into that
Speaker 1: game plus Hassan Red. He is our guest tonight on
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford. In Gilbert
Speaker 1: first and ten on the Cardinal twenty snap to Murray
Speaker 1: drops back to throw, looking deep, airing it out middle
Speaker 1: of the field. He's got Kirk. It's caught at the
Speaker 1: forty Kirk in the thirty The twenty fifteen ten five
Speaker 1: touchdown ton eighty yards strike Kyler Murray to Christian Kirk,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns for Kirk now in the game. Oh baby,
Speaker 1: that was huge right there. Kyler Murray saw Christian Kirk
Speaker 1: and he just ran the go rob What a great throw.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray laid it out there and Christian Kirk what
Speaker 1: got it? I mean, it's twenty one nothing. Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: prevailed thirty eight to ten, second straight win. They've won
Speaker 1: four out of six to start this season. And you'll
Speaker 1: learn something new every week. That was from Big D
Speaker 1: Cardinals went on the road on Monday Night Football. The
Speaker 1: late Hands trick Ron Wolfley, as Cliff Kingsbury called it
Speaker 1: after the game, What is it? And how did that
Speaker 1: apply to Christian Kirk right there? Yeah, the late hands, Paul,
Speaker 1: you run, you run, you run. You run. You don't
Speaker 1: reach while you're running. You run, you run, you running
Speaker 1: that boom you stick about, Paul, the stab that's where
Speaker 1: you stab the pig with your steely knives. Right, you run, Paul,
Speaker 1: You don't run with your arms out. How many times
Speaker 1: do you see a guy actually do that? Right? Running
Speaker 1: with his arms out? It slows you down. You run,
Speaker 1: you run, you run, and then you stab it late,
Speaker 1: sort of like a great outfielder in baseball. Right, run
Speaker 1: to the spot in the very last minute, boom, you
Speaker 1: extend for the ball. Yeah. Absolutely, And that's what Christian
Speaker 1: Kirk did perfectly. Yeah. Well, he had two touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the game. And the thing is that was just one
Speaker 1: of nine completions for Kyler Murray. Yet they had three explosives.
Speaker 1: The dr touchdowns score right there, the sixty nine yard
Speaker 1: touchdown run by Kenyan Drake, a sixty yard catch and
Speaker 1: run by DeAndre Hopkins. How did you assess the Cardinals offense,
Speaker 1: especially when you look at the scoreboard and they put
Speaker 1: up thirty eight Yeah, honestly, I mean that ultimately, PAULI
Speaker 1: is what you look at. How many points are you
Speaker 1: scoring right now? Right? And the Arizona Cardinals are number
Speaker 1: two then number two red zone team in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. Stop and think about last year in the
Speaker 1: start of last year, right twenty nineteen, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: like they got a ton better the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: Now they got better, But man, the first six seven
Speaker 1: games of the season last year they were absolutely awful
Speaker 1: in terms of red zone offense. And now the number
Speaker 1: two red zone offense in the National Football League, only
Speaker 1: behind whom the Seattle Seahawks. And think about it, Seattle's
Speaker 1: number one in scoring offense thirty four points per game. Guests,
Speaker 1: who's number two and scoring defense? Your Arizona Cardinals as
Speaker 1: it goes Baltimore, Arizona Pittsburgh. I mean, that's pretty lofty company.
Speaker 1: That rut there, you're gonna do that. You're gonna take
Speaker 1: that eighteen point seven they're giving up right now. Listen,
Speaker 1: they've got a long way to go to prove that
Speaker 1: this is going to be a good defense, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna go forward and make improvements the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: They've got a long way to go, especially when you
Speaker 1: lose a guy like Chandler Jones. But right now, when
Speaker 1: you look at that, that's situational football right there. That
Speaker 1: tells me you're giving up less than nineteen points a game.
Speaker 1: You're number two, number two red zone defense in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, and oh, by the way, you're still
Speaker 1: number seven when it comes to third down defense, number
Speaker 1: seven and number nine in sacks per attempt. Paula, you
Speaker 1: put those things together right there, and you've got the
Speaker 1: makings of a team that could come together. But man,
Speaker 1: they've got a long way to go before we can
Speaker 1: say they've arrived. You mentioned the absence of Chandler Jones.
Speaker 1: Here's Brian Greasy, Monday Night Football analyst on what the
Speaker 1: Cardinals did in the absence of Chandler in the nineteen
Speaker 1: sack man and just how they ratcheted up the aggression.
Speaker 1: I think on the defensive side, we learned something tonight
Speaker 1: from the Arizona Cardinals. Vance Joseph called a very aggressive game,
Speaker 1: which we didn't know how he was going to call
Speaker 1: it coming in with all the weapons that Dallas has
Speaker 1: on the offensive side. But if this defense, which was
Speaker 1: one of the worst in the NFL a year ago,
Speaker 1: if they can continue to improve now, I think Arizona
Speaker 1: might have something going in the NFC West. Just how
Speaker 1: aggressive was Van's Joseph. How exotic was it? Because there
Speaker 1: was one time I looked down and there was a
Speaker 1: three man front with Devon Gnard in a four point
Speaker 1: stance over the center. He's playing the nose as they
Speaker 1: rushed three and dropped eight. Yeah. Absolutely, Polly, But that
Speaker 1: was pretty much for the most part on third and seventeen.
Speaker 1: I believe third in really long situations where they'd go
Speaker 1: with a three man rush. What I loved is once
Speaker 1: again Vance Joseph went back to his roots, Polly. We
Speaker 1: were talking about this last week as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: but this is who Vans Joseph is. He's a guide
Speaker 1: that is built his reputation on complex pressure packages. That
Speaker 1: being five guys bringing five guys. You just need to
Speaker 1: know which five we're actually gonna come now. He brought six,
Speaker 1: he brought six. He brought what I consider to be
Speaker 1: a blitz on more than one occasion, but it was
Speaker 1: really the five man pressures. I think Boodha Baker, as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, is a great example of that.
Speaker 1: His sack was on that five man pressure, right. I
Speaker 1: just think that Vance Joseph did a great job scheming
Speaker 1: and confusing Dallas Cowboys protection schemes and they're gonna need
Speaker 1: that going forward. They're gonna need that kind of scheming
Speaker 1: from Vance Joseph and execution from everybody that is actually
Speaker 1: going to rush if they want to get pressure on
Speaker 1: a que The Cardinals defense came in with three takeaways
Speaker 1: in five games. They had four against the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: on Monday Night, two interceptions Buddha and Drake kerk Patra,
Speaker 1: and then you had the two forced fumbles by the way,
Speaker 1: Buddha Biker NFC Defensive Player of the Week, seven tackles, sack,
Speaker 1: an interception his first career, the force bumble, two quarterback hits,
Speaker 1: and then there was another big time standout. How about
Speaker 1: a guy with a two sack game. He had a
Speaker 1: pass defense, He had five tackles. He also led the
Speaker 1: team in quarterback pressures. Was seven Hassan Reddick, who was
Speaker 1: back to outside linebacker. Hey man, I look forward to
Speaker 1: talking to his son. We're gonna spend the next thirty
Speaker 1: minutes with the Cardinals first round pick twenty thirteen, twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: that is thirteenth pick overall, and I mean, in so
Speaker 1: many ways, I'm looking forward to this conversation and the journey.
Speaker 1: He's back to where he feels comfortable and where he belongs.
Speaker 1: And man is a show out on the field. And
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick is next in the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by Satan Ford. In Gilbert Dalton back the throw steps
Speaker 1: up in trouble, hit and sack. Hassan Reddick brings him down.
Speaker 1: Reddick takes him to the ground. How about that Hassan
Speaker 1: Redick getting a little Dalton's grace right there? Shotgun staff
Speaker 1: to Dalton's looking right, gets hit. Dalton's gonna get sacked.
Speaker 1: There were three Cardinals in the backfield in on the sack,
Speaker 1: including Hassan Reddick again, how about that Hassan Redick. Hab
Speaker 1: a night, Baby, A lot to like Monday Night, A
Speaker 1: lot to like this season, heck a lot to like Today,
Speaker 1: Ron wolf leet is the Big Red Rage brought to
Speaker 1: you by Santan Ford and Gilbert Paul Kelvci. Here there's
Speaker 1: a big article feature article by Kyle Ottergarden Acy Cardinals
Speaker 1: dot Com. I love the headline back to living on
Speaker 1: the Edge. I like what Vance Joseph said today that
Speaker 1: he's been playing quote lights out. I like the fact
Speaker 1: that he's leading the team in sacks and twelfth overall
Speaker 1: in the NFL with four sacks on the season. And
Speaker 1: I love the fact that he is joining us tonight
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage. Say hello everyone to Hassan Redicks.
Speaker 1: We're so good man. How are you doing bad guy?
Speaker 1: And man, I'm doing good? Are you and doing fantastic?
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you joining us tonight. Man, you're having
Speaker 1: a great season. How how do you think it's going
Speaker 1: for you? Hassan, just just talk to us about right now,
Speaker 1: six games into the season, how you think you're doing.
Speaker 1: I think I'm doing well. Um, trying not to focus on,
Speaker 1: you know, the past games as you know, preparing for
Speaker 1: this week. So I'm just trying to give you know,
Speaker 1: let it lead the past in the past and get
Speaker 1: ready to go out there and you know, try to
Speaker 1: have another impactful week for those now a sudden, we
Speaker 1: go all the way back to draft night, and I
Speaker 1: vividly remember the Cardinals making you their selection. The very
Speaker 1: next day. I remember you coming out in the team
Speaker 1: helicopter at the draft party, we did the interview on stage,
Speaker 1: I met your parents and and think about all the
Speaker 1: years and the seasons that have elapsed since and I
Speaker 1: forget the fact that you're on your third head coach
Speaker 1: and in the first three years you had three different systems.
Speaker 1: Did you not this is the first time in your
Speaker 1: career you've had the same scheme one year to the next,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Yes? To do so, it's been a big
Speaker 1: difference and a big help, you know, being in the
Speaker 1: same system for the second uh here in a row.
Speaker 1: You know, I just understand the system, understand you know
Speaker 1: the things that's going on, the thing that you know
Speaker 1: what my job calls for, and that's the most important thing.
Speaker 1: Um So it's been, it's been. It's been a very
Speaker 1: very reverye big help. So hassan obviously Chandler Jones your
Speaker 1: thoughts on just Chandler Jones going down? What did you
Speaker 1: think when you found out that he was done for
Speaker 1: the year. It's heartbreaking. Um chan is a reverie, revery
Speaker 1: very big piece to the defense. Uh, one of our captains,
Speaker 1: one of our leaders, and he's definitely a game changer,
Speaker 1: definitely makes an impact and you notice when he's out there,
Speaker 1: you can notice when he's not there, So losing him,
Speaker 1: you know, it's heartbreaking a guy like that, you know,
Speaker 1: he's a team guy. He has a very great character.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that you kind of looking
Speaker 1: forward to Chan every day. You know, somebody could talk
Speaker 1: to jib with last way so and going down it's
Speaker 1: he's look I said, it's a it's a crusher, Son
Speaker 1: Reddick joining us on the Big Red Rage. It's all
Speaker 1: about You, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. I know
Speaker 1: when Chan went down, DeAndre Hopkins called him a generational talent,
Speaker 1: and he is. He's so singular in so many ways.
Speaker 1: But what do you think you've picked up from his
Speaker 1: game and his approach, especially now that you're back on
Speaker 1: the edge a lot man rush angles. You know, uh,
Speaker 1: Chan always you know when even Channon is a guy,
Speaker 1: he's always given. He's not a selfish guy. He passes
Speaker 1: on the knowledge that he has um So it's been
Speaker 1: multiple times where either in practice or he might or
Speaker 1: maybe we watch film as a unit, you know it
Speaker 1: might be I might have a great rush something that
Speaker 1: he thinks is like, oh man, this is something that
Speaker 1: you can use all the time. And he'd tell me
Speaker 1: like look, look, look a look at what you did
Speaker 1: here to make the offense to tackle move this way,
Speaker 1: or you know, look at your steps, you know, look
Speaker 1: at what you're doing here and he getting in. You know,
Speaker 1: he gave me an advice before which was like watching
Speaker 1: you know, I had a great pass rush in training
Speaker 1: and he was like, watch this rep. Watch this rep.
Speaker 1: Watch study the steps that you took, you know, the
Speaker 1: angle that you took, and and use that in your game.
Speaker 1: And he was like, this is gonna be a move
Speaker 1: that you could pull off all the time, and could
Speaker 1: you want to get signature unstoppable move? So you know,
Speaker 1: he's always hoping, always go on our knowledge, you know.
Speaker 1: But the guy that's been in the league as long
Speaker 1: as he's been, he's has plenty of it. And it's
Speaker 1: always great to have, you know, a better ran, a
Speaker 1: guy which is must have the success as he has,
Speaker 1: you know, giving you those tips, it's something that you
Speaker 1: have to so can something that you want to hear,
Speaker 1: you know. You know it was interesting, Hassan because I
Speaker 1: heard you say you can tell when he's not there.
Speaker 1: What did you mean by that when you said you
Speaker 1: can tell when he's not there? He's just a you know,
Speaker 1: he tells jokes. Like I said, he's very charismatic, you know,
Speaker 1: so jokes dancing in practice, all of those type of things.
Speaker 1: You can miss him six five yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: so he always telling them jokes, so you know none
Speaker 1: that he's not there, you know when you walk in.
Speaker 1: Not to say that the complete vibe is different, but
Speaker 1: you just don't have Chan there telling the jokes, you know,
Speaker 1: dancey and you know, being the inspirational guy that he is. Hey,
Speaker 1: whenever we've had Chandler Jones on the Big Red Rage here,
Speaker 1: basically by the time the show's done, they're offering the
Speaker 1: show too Chandler and they want to can be and
Speaker 1: so but we know, we know about the charisma and
Speaker 1: the personality. What were they What I want to know
Speaker 1: is what did you like about the defense's performance against Dallas.
Speaker 1: We'll get into your game, but what'd you like overall
Speaker 1: by the Arizona d I like how we played as
Speaker 1: a unit. Um. I had an interview today and I
Speaker 1: was telling that I was telling everybody that it was
Speaker 1: a it's eleven guys on the shields. It is as
Speaker 1: a team's success, especially on the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: as a as a as a collective unit. We played well,
Speaker 1: Um from pass rush, you know, from from our rusher
Speaker 1: is getting pressure to our coverage, guys holding up them coverage. Uh.
Speaker 1: We we we played ball and I think we played
Speaker 1: really well on all cylinders, you know, help them to
Speaker 1: ten points, which is always amazing. You know, we got
Speaker 1: that goal, um, and you can see where we're headed,
Speaker 1: where we're trending, um, you know, and just got to
Speaker 1: keep that level of ball playing up well. And Wolf
Speaker 1: here's Cluff Kingsbarn how he thought the team played on
Speaker 1: Monday night. I thought we played hard. I could tell
Speaker 1: in the locker room. We had great energy, had great juice.
Speaker 1: Could tell all week and practice guys were locked in
Speaker 1: and h it carried over. We harped on, you know,
Speaker 1: penalties and playing a cleaner style of play and it's
Speaker 1: getting takeaways and we hit both those categories. It Son,
Speaker 1: do you feel like you got into a rhythm at
Speaker 1: Dallas because the box score says yes, with two sacks,
Speaker 1: five tackles, the pass defense and seven quarterback pressures. Most definitely, U,
Speaker 1: Like Coote said, the energy was there from the time
Speaker 1: we were in the locker room, you know, to the
Speaker 1: time that we took the field and during the whole game.
Speaker 1: The energy was just there. H you know, it was
Speaker 1: prime time football, and it just the energy was amazing
Speaker 1: and it gave that edge, you know, it gave the
Speaker 1: edge wanting to go out there and play hard and
Speaker 1: hoping the team winning. Like you said, you know, had
Speaker 1: a great game, and he was in the rhythm. Definitely
Speaker 1: was in the flow and something that I'm looking to
Speaker 1: carry over into the you know, for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. You know, it's really interesting, Hassan, because it
Speaker 1: seemed like you guys were scheming more. Is that true?
Speaker 1: Did you guys come with more five man pressures and
Speaker 1: even six man which I consider to be a blitz
Speaker 1: six man pressures? Did you guys bring more and scheme
Speaker 1: more in the absence of Chandler Jones? I feel like
Speaker 1: we did some things that were different, you know, most
Speaker 1: definitely did some things that were different, but nothing too
Speaker 1: much out of the ordinary. Um, you know, pretty much
Speaker 1: stand true to who we are and at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, that's going out there and put in
Speaker 1: the standard on tape at the end of the day. UM,
Speaker 1: not really trying to you know, we're not really trying
Speaker 1: to do anything different other than b ourselves and play
Speaker 1: Greek ball. It's so amazing well if you know the story.
Speaker 1: But we're talking to a guy we start his college
Speaker 1: career as a cornerback. I mean the athleticism for him
Speaker 1: to be able to play corner now eventually changed positions.
Speaker 1: But come on now, right just the fact they ever
Speaker 1: go to pie. I want to talk to his sign
Speaker 1: when we come back, because I've got a com for
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick and where his career might go when we
Speaker 1: come back. Well, and he's got to school me up
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to figure out what exactly is the
Speaker 1: gritty the gritty, you know, I just you know, my
Speaker 1: curating is suffering right now, so I got to figure
Speaker 1: this out so I can hang with the younger demo
Speaker 1: around here. So it's the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: Santan Born and Gilbert back right after this more with
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick and the Big Red Rage snapped adult three
Speaker 1: step drop. His pass to the left is tipped in it.
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick deflected it as Reddick was rushing the passer
Speaker 1: heads up play by the former first round graph pick.
Speaker 1: He sniffed that out. The instincts, the warning and bells
Speaker 1: were going off for Hassan Riddick all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he was ready. Hassan riddocks having fun. Yes, that's just
Speaker 1: out there. He's relaxed. The smile is back, doing a
Speaker 1: little dance after getting the sack. It's a beautiful thing
Speaker 1: when the game slows down and you can just play
Speaker 1: loose and just go. And I think him playing at
Speaker 1: a more natural position outside linebacker has led to that.
Speaker 1: That's great, David, that's a very salient observation. But let's
Speaker 1: go back to the dance. Can we place it is
Speaker 1: the big red rage presented by Santan Fording. Gop could
Speaker 1: not move like that if I did it, a million
Speaker 1: tie could not move like that. Okay, So Hassan, give
Speaker 1: us the breakdown here, because what we've seen the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. If you've been scoring at home, Dennis
Speaker 1: gardack a couple of sacks and then he had what
Speaker 1: he called turned the ConA and then hit the stroll.
Speaker 1: Those are the two sack dances. Buddha his first career
Speaker 1: interception with a cast on his hand, no less. And
Speaker 1: then he went bowling and turned all his teammates into
Speaker 1: bowling pins. And then for you, I'm told it was
Speaker 1: called the gritty and and and I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I'm not too proud to admit. I really have no
Speaker 1: idea what that is, so please help me out. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a dance that has been going. Vira, the young
Speaker 1: UH wide receiver out of Minnesota from the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: He's probably the biggest reason for why it's popular. Um,
Speaker 1: I think he did it. He did it on his
Speaker 1: first touchdown justin Jefferson. Yes, yeah, he did it in
Speaker 1: his He did it on his first touchdown catch up
Speaker 1: his rookie career. And it's just something like that. You know,
Speaker 1: some of the young guys like by Murphy and some
Speaker 1: of the younger dvs, you know, they've been doing it
Speaker 1: in practice, and you know sometimes we have find Then
Speaker 1: we danced in practice and I didn't practice, and you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about it, and somebody told me that if
Speaker 1: I got a sack, I should do it. So as
Speaker 1: I got my second one, I decided to do it.
Speaker 1: You did it very well too, Yeah, very very well. Listen.
Speaker 1: I've got to ask you this, because you're you're playing
Speaker 1: outside linebacker right now, You're you're more edge. Are you home?
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're home? Uh? Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm home, you know, from a position, from a
Speaker 1: positional standpoint. Um, you know, but I want to continue
Speaker 1: to get better when you know, I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: all the way where I want to be yet. Um,
Speaker 1: as far as you know, the things that I'm doing
Speaker 1: inside of the position, no matter how well you know
Speaker 1: it looks like I'm playing. You know, I've always want
Speaker 1: to improve, So I want to get you know, I
Speaker 1: want to get really good at it. You know, I
Speaker 1: want to become one of the best at it. So
Speaker 1: look looking forward to keep working day in and day
Speaker 1: out and you know, trying to get into tree each
Speaker 1: and every day at it. Well it's interesting, well because
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson was asked a similar question about Hassan Reddick today.
Speaker 1: The bottom line is, as Hassan was just trying to
Speaker 1: find his way, you know, you know, just trying to
Speaker 1: find a natural position for him to where he can
Speaker 1: just line up and play ball. You want to take
Speaker 1: the thinking out of the game now putting him in
Speaker 1: that natural position. Now, now he's just lining up and
Speaker 1: playing football. So it's a beautiful thing to watch. Hassan
Speaker 1: has definitely found his home, playing really really big last week,
Speaker 1: having two sacks, maybe people don't quite realize inside linebacker
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, and they don't quite comprehend the vast difference
Speaker 1: in the two positions to just bottom line, because you
Speaker 1: can spend an hour talking about it. Probably it's just
Speaker 1: you're doing a lot less thinking right now, if nothing
Speaker 1: else out of familiarity correct, correct? You know it was
Speaker 1: a way less read m you know, way less people
Speaker 1: to read you. No, way less pre snap previews that
Speaker 1: you need to make before the ball is even snap.
Speaker 1: So you know, like I said, I like and like
Speaker 1: Pat pishe you know, take just taking something thinking out
Speaker 1: of it um that way, you know, my natural athleticism
Speaker 1: and tunis can take over the game foot Hassan, how
Speaker 1: much weight do you think you could carry? Like? How
Speaker 1: much weight do you think? Do you want to put
Speaker 1: on weights right now? What do you weigh now? And
Speaker 1: how much weight do you think you could carry right now?
Speaker 1: And when? About two or forty five? I do think
Speaker 1: I could put on more a week if I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I probably could put on about another ten pounds. Okay,
Speaker 1: you said you said two forty five? Yeah, okay, do
Speaker 1: you know, Hassan, there's a guy by the name of
Speaker 1: James Harrison, who once played in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: James Harrison was six feet two hundred and forty two pounds.
Speaker 1: Now he's really really strong, as you know, really really strong.
Speaker 1: But Hassan, that is a comp for you. I mean
Speaker 1: that shows that there was a guy that is six
Speaker 1: feet tall, two hundred and forty two hundred and forty
Speaker 1: two pounds that has played the edge and played it
Speaker 1: extremely well. Because you know, there's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that look at you and think, and I'm one of them.
Speaker 1: I wonder how he's going to be able to hold
Speaker 1: up on the edge when he starts facing bigger guys
Speaker 1: and tight ends line up over Ye That's always been
Speaker 1: my question. And yet there's the comp James Harrison Mark
Speaker 1: all right, So I'll ask you the dumb guy question
Speaker 1: because that's what I do best. Does your size matter
Speaker 1: at outside linebacker? Because here's what Vance Joseph said earlier today.
Speaker 1: He's played good football, you know, so he's comfortable as
Speaker 1: an outside backer. He can rush, he can set an age,
Speaker 1: you can drop into space. So he is he is
Speaker 1: the prototype you know for our sam backer in its defense,
Speaker 1: he used prototype. So you tell us about how your
Speaker 1: size is a fit for Vance Joseph's scheme. Massie never
Speaker 1: really mattered to me. You know, in college, I played DN,
Speaker 1: which isn't even outside line. You know, it was a
Speaker 1: little bit different from outside linebacker in the in the uh.
Speaker 1: You know, as far as dropping in the coverage and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, I didn't do as much as I
Speaker 1: was at hand in the dirt d But you know,
Speaker 1: towards my junior and senior year in college, you know,
Speaker 1: they started using me to drop more because, like you said,
Speaker 1: I came from playing cornerback and they realized that I
Speaker 1: could do it U and it gave another aspect to
Speaker 1: our defense. So I ended up doing it more. Um.
Speaker 1: But as far as size, you know, I was about
Speaker 1: to twenty anywhere at two twenty on a good day,
Speaker 1: to run out on a good day, you know, going
Speaker 1: against guys that was bigger than me, you know, and
Speaker 1: it never really mattered to me. And now here I
Speaker 1: him in the same situation where I had twenty extra
Speaker 1: pounds on me. H, It never really mattered to me.
Speaker 1: You know, you know I had a same big doesn't
Speaker 1: spell bad just because you did doesn't need your bad, right, um,
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't mean you're a tough guy, and I
Speaker 1: feel like, if you're bigger than me, then you're not
Speaker 1: fastening me. You might not, you might. You know. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm a pretty strong guy. You might not
Speaker 1: even be stronger than me. If you're bigger than me,
Speaker 1: I definitely know you're not faster than me. And if
Speaker 1: you're faster than me, I know you're not stronger than me.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I have an advantage in any
Speaker 1: type of situation. Therefore, size He's never mattered, Hussan. I
Speaker 1: can't tell you right out. You know, I love you, buddy,
Speaker 1: I really do. I You're a guy that I root for.
Speaker 1: I want to see do well take it from this
Speaker 1: fat old guy. And that's what I am. It's fat
Speaker 1: old guy that's doing a broadcast. If I were you,
Speaker 1: if I were you, Hassan, I would watch. I would
Speaker 1: grab all the tape I could of James Harrison and
Speaker 1: watch it this offseason. Just watch watch how hum I
Speaker 1: tell you I'm really fond of James Harrison. I watched
Speaker 1: him a lot when he played for the Stillers. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I'm no stranger who he is and
Speaker 1: impact that heavy to made on the game himself you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, just like you said, definitely
Speaker 1: could take this film and still learn from home and
Speaker 1: the Thames that he's done. Just fast forward past one
Speaker 1: play and that was before halftime a Super Bowl forty three. Okay,
Speaker 1: just just don't watch the hundred yard picks sets against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals before halftime where where the Red Sea was screaming,
Speaker 1: We're still screaming. Somebody tackled James Harrison, right, don't look
Speaker 1: at that one as Oh boy. Okay, hey, by the way,
Speaker 1: speaking of watching film, watch all episodes of Cardinals Flight
Speaker 1: Plan at YouTube dot com slash Azy. Cardinals will come back.
Speaker 1: We'll get into the matchup. Oh boy. So let's get
Speaker 1: this straight. Well, if a Son Reddick played in his
Speaker 1: first Monday night game ever and now it's going to
Speaker 1: be followed up by his first Sunday night game ever,
Speaker 1: the two premier showcases for NFL football in this country.
Speaker 1: So what was it like to play under those bright lights?
Speaker 1: What's gonna be like Sunday night? Especially it's Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I want to know, has he ever been a spy
Speaker 1: against Russell Wilson back in the day, and what can
Speaker 1: he tell us that is next to Son Reddick on
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford In Gilbert Harbin.
Speaker 1: Dalton gets hit and jumps it off over the middle,
Speaker 1: off by LFP bumbles the ball and Jordan Phillips appears
Speaker 1: to have it for the Cardinal. The ball was stripped
Speaker 1: by Budda Baker. I'm the tackle Cardinals blitz back to
Speaker 1: Tordalton gets hit and slim to the ground by Budda
Speaker 1: Baker back at the thirty three yard line. Dalton never
Speaker 1: saw Baker like a torpedo. He came flying into the
Speaker 1: backfield and smoked Andy Dalton snapped to Dalton, quick throw
Speaker 1: over the middle, picked off, intercepted by Baker at the
Speaker 1: fifteen gets up in runs twenty thirty, thirty five, forty fifty,
Speaker 1: Baker to the forty and tackled there by Elliott. Budda Baker,
Speaker 1: the highest paid safety in the game, maybe the best
Speaker 1: safety in the game, did not have an interception until
Speaker 1: now one a day. Buddha Baker. Good thing. This is
Speaker 1: an hour show The Big Red Rage presented by santan
Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley. Our special guest
Speaker 1: is Son Reddy. Because this could take a moment. Let's
Speaker 1: see here against Dallas, he had seven tackles, a sack,
Speaker 1: his first career pick you heard there, a tackle for loss,
Speaker 1: two quarterback hits past defense, and a forced fumble. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about that just for good measure. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker. Oh, let's see the Cardinals win the game
Speaker 1: and he wins NFC Defensive Player of the Week and Hassan.
Speaker 1: He also was awarded a sea on his jersey, named
Speaker 1: a team captain. Now in the absence the season ending
Speaker 1: injury to Chandler Jones, and you tell us the sort
Speaker 1: of respect that Buddha Baker gets in that locker room.
Speaker 1: He's definitely among one of our most respected players. You know,
Speaker 1: Starling Will with the way he please Hey, you know
Speaker 1: you put on that you cut on that taping. You
Speaker 1: see a guy running around with his hair on fire,
Speaker 1: you know, everywhere, covers every you know, every body to grass,
Speaker 1: um and it's constantly around the ball, throwing his body
Speaker 1: in there. You know, he's he you know, that's what
Speaker 1: football looks like. You know, you cut on that tape
Speaker 1: and you see him. I mean, that's what football looks like. Um.
Speaker 1: And then amongst the guys where we respected amongst his peers, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's great to see him, you know,
Speaker 1: and the ass of the chain get the sea on
Speaker 1: his jersey so much of the time, Hussan, you look
Speaker 1: at good defenses in the National Football League, they start
Speaker 1: from the secondary. That's where they start a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: We'll look at the secondary and button it up from
Speaker 1: the secondary towards the line of scrimmage. And I think
Speaker 1: that's where Buddha Baker really helps in that secondary. Right,
Speaker 1: tell us about the communication with Buddha Baker. There is
Speaker 1: the communication that normalized since he's returned. Yes, he you know,
Speaker 1: he the vocals for the you know for the dbs uh,
Speaker 1: you know, always communicating. He knows his job well and
Speaker 1: he put and he performs and he performs his job
Speaker 1: at at every high level. Um. So he's another player,
Speaker 1: you know when he's on the field, make an impact
Speaker 1: and you know he's there. That's just what you're gonna
Speaker 1: get out of Buddha Uh. You know, gaming game out
Speaker 1: of day in and day out, you know, practice or
Speaker 1: day in situation. You know what you're gonna get from him,
Speaker 1: you know. Vans Joseph Cardinal's defensive coordinator said today that
Speaker 1: when the secondary plays well, it makes it easy to
Speaker 1: call a game as ad coordinator because you feel good
Speaker 1: about calling certain pressures. That's Vans Joseph talking about the
Speaker 1: big picture. And then here's Vans Joseph Wolf. Listen to
Speaker 1: this talking about Buddha Baker. He's pretty laid back. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a fun loving guy, but he also has a switch.
Speaker 1: To watch him throw his body around with his size
Speaker 1: as it's impressive because it's not natural to run full
Speaker 1: speed through contact, especially people who are larger than you.
Speaker 1: You know, even great players don't have that track to
Speaker 1: run full speed through darkness and you have no idea
Speaker 1: what the outcome is going to be. He doesn't care.
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the way you put it ball
Speaker 1: through darkness. Wolf Wolf, I'll say this. I'll say this,
Speaker 1: that was your hallmark and and what you're the only
Speaker 1: big guy could do. So, Hassan, I'll ask you this,
Speaker 1: my brother, do you have a switch? Do you think
Speaker 1: you've got that switch? I definitely have a switch. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of on edge. Are always just
Speaker 1: that just my background? Uh, but you know I'm relaxed,
Speaker 1: you know, that's joke, a brown um. But when game
Speaker 1: time comes, man, I definitely turn that switch on, you know.
Speaker 1: I tuned out all the noise and uh and and
Speaker 1: I focus on helping the team and just being the
Speaker 1: best that I can be. You know, every time I
Speaker 1: testaffs to us. It's fun to do that, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is. It was one of the
Speaker 1: best things about being a professional football player, the fact
Speaker 1: that you could step in between those white lines now
Speaker 1: and you could just act like like a nut job
Speaker 1: out on the field right anyway. I love that and
Speaker 1: I thank God for the ability to go do it
Speaker 1: because it just allowed you to tap into that primal side.
Speaker 1: And then you leave the field and you love people
Speaker 1: and you respect people and you treat them better than yourself.
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better as a man, does it. No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It doesn't get any better. You know. It's
Speaker 1: really it's really an escape, man, It's not an escape.
Speaker 1: You know, to love this game and could play that,
Speaker 1: you know, at a very high level. On them going
Speaker 1: there a week weekend and week out, you know, and
Speaker 1: like you said, it stuck into them, into the mind
Speaker 1: and you know, turn out all to also a noise
Speaker 1: from the world and just play a game that you
Speaker 1: love is really something now is really a blessing. And
Speaker 1: now you're gonna have Sunday night football and you're gonna
Speaker 1: have the Seahawks. Man, So the combination of everything coming together.
Speaker 1: In fact, we know where you guys did last time
Speaker 1: you played Seattle. It was a beat down. You guys
Speaker 1: went up in Week sixteen. In fact, speaking of what
Speaker 1: it's like to take on the Seahawks, listen to Buddha
Speaker 1: Baker who was wired up and this big hit Seahawks
Speaker 1: run the ball off the right side and a big
Speaker 1: hit by food A Baker at the twenty six yard line.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have been physical than Seattle, crushed that du
Speaker 1: many you how you doing that? How do you do that?
Speaker 1: No fear, no fear. I ain't scared of nobody. It's
Speaker 1: always great when when Chandler Jones plays on field reporter,
Speaker 1: he's actually doing an interviewing wired So that's always that's it.
Speaker 1: But you, Hassan, you tell me about Seattle and especially
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Were you ever a spy back in your
Speaker 1: inside linebacker days? Did you ever play that role? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: not really, maybe a player a couple of players here
Speaker 1: and there. Uh, but not really, you know, man, But
Speaker 1: now you know, my job is the chasing all around
Speaker 1: the field, which is a which is a great thing
Speaker 1: and something that I'm looking forward to. Um because you
Speaker 1: Arizona versus Seattle. Man, it's always a competitive game and
Speaker 1: it's always one of the most fun games. You know,
Speaker 1: you feel you can tell there's a vibral vival vivral
Speaker 1: league bible. However, we say they're and you know it's
Speaker 1: gonna you know, you're gonna get your best from them.
Speaker 1: Then you know we give our best to them as well. Man.
Speaker 1: It's always, like I said, it's always a great a
Speaker 1: great time, a great game. And I always, you know,
Speaker 1: I always have the most fun when we actually play them.
Speaker 1: When you look at Seattle's offense, do you see them?
Speaker 1: Are they better in rundown situations? And when I say rundown,
Speaker 1: I'm talking first in ten second and one to six.
Speaker 1: It may have changed for you since I played, but
Speaker 1: that was considered rundown situations so much of the time,
Speaker 1: first in ten second and one to six. How did
Speaker 1: they play during those down in distances offensively, Hassan, Uh, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, they're downhill running team, but uh, you know
Speaker 1: they can run the ball. But you know, personally watching
Speaker 1: the film, I think they're best one. Edil Russell had
Speaker 1: the ball in his hand. He's the playmaker. He's dynamic
Speaker 1: and he's reversatile. Man. He can he can swing the ball,
Speaker 1: you know, like the best of them, and he can
Speaker 1: run like the best of them as well. So uh,
Speaker 1: in my personal opinion, anytime you know that guy has
Speaker 1: the ball in his hand, I think that's when they're
Speaker 1: at that. Yeah. Did your family and friends like seeing
Speaker 1: you on Monday night, Hassan, especially your two sacks. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I have to have my dad and uh some of
Speaker 1: my siblings got in the stands, you know for people
Speaker 1: supporting me back home as well. So yeah, they definitely
Speaker 1: love you know, Sammy ball out on Monday night and
Speaker 1: you know, just out there having fun. Hasan Man, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us, taking time out of
Speaker 1: your busy schedule to talk to us for a while.
Speaker 1: We really do appreciate it. Buddy man. There's no problem
Speaker 1: at all, and there's always a pleasure any kind of
Speaker 1: guys have you know on the show. Man is always
Speaker 1: fun and I love doing so thank you guys. It's
Speaker 1: well rooting for you, big buddy. Enjoy it so much, Hassan,
Speaker 1: all the best on Sunday night. Thank you. All right,
Speaker 1: there you go, Hassan Reddick and well if I look
Speaker 1: forward to seeing him, yeah, go after Russell Wilson for
Speaker 1: four quarters. We'll come back and wrap up this edition
Speaker 1: to the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in
Speaker 1: Gilbert Harrison. Third down and four, they're gonna handle it off.
Speaker 1: The Kenny's rake up the middle, first down and he's
Speaker 1: gonna have maybe a touch down. He's at the forty,
Speaker 1: the thirty to twenty, the ten, the touched down Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake well over one hundred yards with that one icing
Speaker 1: on the cake, thirty seven to ten, sixty nine yard
Speaker 1: touchdown run for Kenyan Drake. Hand it off and Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake found the sea and that he hit the gas. Baby.
Speaker 1: What a way to finish this game. We found out
Speaker 1: later it was the start of the game that perhaps
Speaker 1: was the key. When Kenyan Drake looked down at his phone,
Speaker 1: his caller ID and it said mom doom. And then
Speaker 1: Mom had something to say and her message was and
Speaker 1: I'm now quoting Kenyan Drake reiterating what mom told him,
Speaker 1: Are you going to hit some holes today? You got yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So as the saying goes, mom knows best, and boom
Speaker 1: there was Kenyan Drake and he looked a lot like
Speaker 1: he did in Week sixteen against Seattle? Did he not
Speaker 1: when he had the eighty yard touchdown run and the
Speaker 1: card Rules ran it, oh, I don't know forty times
Speaker 1: or two hundred and fifty three yards and that win
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks in their last meeting, Paul, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now, if there's one thing, if there's one
Speaker 1: thing you want to see, one trend you want to
Speaker 1: see the Arizona Cardinals continue to nurture, it has got
Speaker 1: to be the ability to run the ball in a
Speaker 1: north south direction. Seriously, you go back and you look
Speaker 1: at that first half against the Dallas Cowboys. Ken you
Speaker 1: Drake got the ball six times for eighteen yards, Paul,
Speaker 1: eighteen yards six times in the first half, ran into
Speaker 1: the pile for two yards, for three yards, for four yards,
Speaker 1: for one yard, for four yards three He ran into
Speaker 1: the pile for the most part, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, his first two carries that second half twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two and then it turned into eventually sixty nine.
Speaker 1: This is what happens when you establish a foundation. It's
Speaker 1: not your identity, it's just a characteristic of your team.
Speaker 1: And that characteristic, the ability to run the ball in
Speaker 1: a north south direction, really helps his offense. So here's
Speaker 1: my question on the Seattle defense. As we know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to go, you know, too in depth here,
Speaker 1: but they're not good. They're dead last in total defense.
Speaker 1: They're dead last, but they're eighteenth and scoring defense. Okay,
Speaker 1: but they're seventh in rush defense. Is that because teams
Speaker 1: are just thrown all day on them? Or are they
Speaker 1: fairly stout up from Yeah? No, see, PAULI, that's the
Speaker 1: thing about it right now. I don't think their defensive
Speaker 1: line is very talented. They're not. Let's just put it
Speaker 1: that way. They're not good their defensive line. But I
Speaker 1: would have a hard time saying their defense is good.
Speaker 1: Do they have some good players? Absolutely? See Bobby Wagner
Speaker 1: and kJ Wright, those two guys. Do they have good players? Paly? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams And whether or not Jamal Adams is actually
Speaker 1: going to play he's missed the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: We'll see how he does, but they've got talent over there.
Speaker 1: The problem is it's not on the defensive line. Now. Listen,
Speaker 1: they're number seven Paul in rushing yards per game allowed,
Speaker 1: number seven, but they're also number seven and rushing yards
Speaker 1: per play allowed. So if you put those two things
Speaker 1: together right there, they don't stink in terms of stopping
Speaker 1: the run, they don't. They stink right now. Metrically in
Speaker 1: terms of stopping the past, they're awful. And you know
Speaker 1: what I remember the most I think from that Seattle
Speaker 1: win last year out at Seattle Weeks sixteen was Clara
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald getting the past reception and going straight as an
Speaker 1: arrow for the end zone and trucking kJ right, j Wright,
Speaker 1: who's a good football puss. And don't forget the last
Speaker 1: time the Cardinals played on Sunday Night Football twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: You remember it? It was the six six slugfest against
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Yes, so get ready for physicality on Sunday
Speaker 1: Night for Jim Landro, Cody Fincher, Ron wolf Leypall Calvcs
