I'm ready. I'm one hundred 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.280 percent ready. I'm telling you I'm ready, and Ron will flat. 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:59.040 It doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the fard. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.000 On this week's edition of the Big Red Range. Among 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.240 other things, we learned that, according to Buddha Baker, Ron 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.080 Wolfley and Buddha Baker have more than just one thing 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.319 in common. It's now two. You can double it. Ron 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.080 Wolfley tread lightly. BOI, Well, first off, the first one's 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.160 very good. It's a double thumbs up. You're both now 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:26.720 four time Pro Bowlers and to start, Yeah, and as 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.600 a bonus connection, Okay, you actually have both gone to 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.880 Pro Bowls as special teamers, right because remember his first 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.640 year he went as a special teamer. So he earns 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.640 even more respect from you in that regard? Does he 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.280 not an excellent follow up? May? I know? Though? By 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.320 the way, he's about to pass you with five, just 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.840 like another former cardinal safety did in Adrian Wilson. A 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.000 good thing for you, though Buddha Baker doesn't wear twenty 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:52.440 four like Okay, now number two. We found out this 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.240 week that both Buddha Baker and Ron Wolfley have also 0:01:55.320 --> 0:02:00.440 been known to go to a bar by themselves. Paul. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.080 It was the Dark Days ball stopped it for the 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.960 first time the other night. His alias was James M. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:11.639 Wolf went to a bar by himself for approximately four years, Paul. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.720 And so if they were got Dark Days, you guys 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.400 have that in common. So spread the elbows. Are you 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.960 looking at me? Are you looking at me? So there 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.960 you go. It is the big red rage. In fact, 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.280 Buddha Baker, I think we'll hear from him a little 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.760 bit later. As for this evening, you were going to 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.840 hear from Rookie running back Keyante Ingram, We're going to 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.639 visit with the running back out of USC going to 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.360 be very interesting there as we both need to attack 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.600 this show wolf like JJ Watt attacks those tackling dummies 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.320 during OTAs. Have you seen those videos of JJ Watt 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.000 going all out folly? I have, and you know, it 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.800 just reminds me, it really does, of the models that 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.120 you have walking around your locker room. You've got guys 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.680 that are leaders, of course, but it's all about doing. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.919 Any leader will tell you that you've got to do 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.200 before you can actually say you've got to hold guys accountable, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.760 but you have to actually go about your business in 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:09.080 a way that you hold yourself to a higher standard, Paul, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.440 then you're going to hold anybody else. And the way 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.040 you can show that is to go out and work 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.520 in the drills the way that JJ Watt works in 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:23.000 those drills. I'll tell you JJ Watson out there, Buddha obviously, 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.680 zach ertz aj Greene, Isaiah Simmons. Do you notice Jeff Gladden. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.440 He's out there and he's wearing number twenty three, meaning 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.680 the number formally worn by Robert Alford. So what does 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.720 that mean? Dot dot dot we'll see. Of course, not 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.240 attending and making headlines has been Kyler Murray, the Cardinals 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.400 franchise quarterback, and although Hollywood Brown, the new receiver, has 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.120 been there earlier in the offseason after the big trade 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.400 on Draft Day, he hasn't been there for this week's OTAs, 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.120 and Cliff Kingsbury was asked about not seeing Kyler and 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.360 Hollywood together on the field. I've seen him together live 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.120 and in person on the other team and it was 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.800 not fun for me, So I know what it looks like. 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.480 But now I think, like I've said before, I think 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.160 as a coach, you want to have these guys here 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.600 all the time, but it's just not how the rules 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.760 are set up, and different guys handling different ways, and 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.600 different guys put voluntary into voluntary workouts. You look at 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.679 the Rams that are missing Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald, 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:22.599 the Niners are missing Deebo Samuel so guys for various reasons. 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.320 How big a deal is a wolf that Kyler is 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.799 not out there with at least some of his weapons. Yeah, listen, Polly, 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.919 First of all, I'm going to say this, Do you 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.440 think do I think I should say that it's going 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.279 to impact the twenty twenty two season. I do not 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.560 if Kyler Murray is not out there in OTAs. I 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.040 don't think it's going to impact the twenty twenty two season. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.880 I don't. That's just me. Could I be wrong on that? Absolutely? 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.400 Having said that, Polly, I think it's a missed opportunity 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.240 for Kyler Murray, who seize control of that quote unquote 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.200 leadership wheel, so to speak. I think it's a missed opportunity. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.160 I agree. I don't think we're gonna look at maybe 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.040 a close loss in September October and draw a parallel 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.320 back to the OTAs. At the same time, the chemistry 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.400 and connection between Kyler and his receivers could have been 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.760 better at times last year. AJ Green admitted as much. So, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.120 you know what, any opportunity to work together. What's interesting 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.200 is what you know Benjamin told us earlier this week 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.480 on ninety eight seven FM Arizona Sports and I'm sitting 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.279 in for you with Luke, and you know, Benjamin said 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.600 that Kyler has actually had a lot of his own 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.359 sessions in Texas with a number of the Cardinals receivers. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.200 So that's intriguing. So I guess he is getting work 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:41.120 in that regard. So now, former Cardinals quarterback Drew stan 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.400 was on the Red Sea Report earlier this week. Drew 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.240 understands the business side, okay of all this, and yes, 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.600 there is a money factor obviously involved with the new 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.320 contract hanging in the balance. At the same time, Drew 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.279 didn't duck the question as to whether he would like 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.760 Kyler mur at OTAs, and he expressed an opinion. You're 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.479 the leader of the team. You're not here, and you 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.480 know there's a business component who as well, So you 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.599 you understand that it's too bad. I think with the 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.080 way that the season ended last year, I would have 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.080 liked to see my starting quarterback say, hey, you know what, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.880 I'm not content with what went on that it's completely 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.400 voluntary and there's you know, he has his prerogative to 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.760 not be here. But at the same time, I would 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.400 like my starting quarterback to be here working on stuff, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.960 working with new guys. And so there you go. That's 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.800 Drew stand thirteen years in the league as an NFL 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:37.000 quarterback and so okay, you know that's where the Cardinals 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.280 stand right now. And look, there are a number of 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.640 other guys who aren't there. At James Churl or for example, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.279 heck four your five starting offensive lineman, right aren in attendance, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.960 DJ Humprey's Justin Pugh, Rodney Hudson, Calvin Beecham. So sure 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.320 you know it's Paulie. And that's why I say that, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.760 I don't think it's going to impact the twenty twenty 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:58.440 two season at night. I don't honestly, Um again, would 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.280 I like to see Kyler Murray show up? Absolutely, I 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.800 do believe. I agree with Drew Stanton. I think it's 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:08.080 a missed opportunity for Kyler Murray because, honestly, paul I 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.800 think it would have been a great time to say, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.280 you know what, I'm not going to play for no 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.560 stinking five point five. All right, I'm not going to 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.840 do that, but I am going to show up and 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.600 I am going to play in practice in OTA's because 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:26.400 what happened last year and how last year ended is 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.520 unacceptable and because of that, I want to lead and 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.400 I want to show everybody that it is unacceptable. But 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.680 I'm not going to play for five point five. Yeah. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.880 And by the way, they picked up his fifth year option, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.720 which would pay him next year about thirty million dollars. 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.360 But you're right, they're not going to get to that point. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.400 Something will be done. That's not just my opinion. That's 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.119 what Steve Kim was talking about on the Pat McAfee show. 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.000 And here's what he said this week in regards to 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.240 Kyler in a new contract. I mean, I just think 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.680 it's a timing thing, Pat. It's you know, every quarterback 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.600 that's done it before has done it from anywhere from 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.080 July to September. We know that he's under contract for 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.480 another year and also the fifth year option, and he 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.440 is our future. We feel that way strongly, and I 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.080 feel like we'll be able to get something done this summer. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.440 And that's been consistent. Has it out well since early 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.800 in the offseason. Whether it's Steve Kime, whether it's Michael 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.040 Bidwill Cliff Kingsbury, that has been the consistent refrain is 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.640 that it will get done. But they're targeting the summer. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.280 And those six contracts that he mentioned after third year 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.720 quarterbacks who got the Mondo deal after year three, every 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.640 one of them was done in June, July, August, or September. Yeah. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.920 That's that's as definitive as I've heard Steve Kime on that. 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.560 In regard to I think we're going to get something 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:41.280 done this summer. Honestly, to me, I agree with him. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.240 I think that's probably when it is most likely to happen. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.000 But once again, I need to come back to Kyler 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.679 Murray and say, that's why I think it's a missed opportunity, 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.600 because they've had to have some type of parameter set 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.440 up in regard to Hey, listen, you know, here's the timetable. 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.840 This is what we're going to do. When we get 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.080 a round of the summer, then we'll start talking to 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.360 you again. And I really do believe the Arizona Cardinals 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.480 are going to come to some type agreement with Kyler 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.920 Murray in the summer. Yet again, here's the opportunity to 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.640 show up and say, listen, yeah, if in fact you're 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.160 not going to give me a new contract, I'm telling 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:20.880 you right now, I'm not going to play for the 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.920 five point five. But the way the season ended last 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.400 year is really a burr under my saddle, and because 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.040 of that, I want to show up and kick these 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.959 OTA's off and do it the right way. I think 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.800 it's a missed opportunity. And if you're wondering why, it 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.679 might take some time to finalize a contract like this. 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.360 Did you see the Pro Football Focus in how they 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.400 projected the Kyler extension this week at six years, two 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.120 hundred and eighty million dollars with a buck fifty five 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.760 guarantee that averages forty six point seven million dollars per season. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:58.319 So just the magnitude of the contract, it's not surprising 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.120 that it takes time. And uh, those are some of them. 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.079 Those are the biggest numbers in contract. And you know 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.120 a franchise history period episode thirty of the Day Pass 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.760 podcasts featuring Cardinals defensive end JJ Watt available now just 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.360 go to the Day Pash podcast wherever you get your 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:17.240 podcasts on Twitter via at passpod. How about a rookie 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.320 running back who studied film of James Connor in college 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.360 and now he's going to get on the job training 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.240 alongside James Conner. Right, he don't need no stinking film 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.640 because now they're teammates. Keyante Ingram is next. The Big 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:44.480 Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert and running 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:51.840 Back USA. Just to work at the character, all those things, 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.800 to check all the boxes, can play special teams, big 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.920 physical back and we just found he fit what we 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.760 do and that role that can be your fourth guy 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.520 that plays special teams and can come in and play 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.680 a high level on offense as well. And that is 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.120 the head coach Cliff Kingsbury with a post draft scanner 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.760 report on a rookie running back who joins us now 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.720 in Keyante Ingram. And before we get started at Kyante, 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.000 I'm going to hit you upside the head with a 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.400 trivia question because someday one day you might join your 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:30.360 head coach in the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.520 True or false? Cliff Kingsbury is a member of the 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.880 Texas High School Football Hall of Fame? Is that a factor? 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.880 Am I making that up? What do you think? I mean? 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.000 Just looking at his swagger, just his demeanor, and then 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.120 just looking at his portfolio, I can agree with that 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.800 he was big time, big time high school quarterback, went 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.400 to Texas Tech and then had a cup of coffee 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.600 in the NFL for a few years of the Patriots 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.440 and a couple other teams. But yeah, he resides in 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.360 the high School Football Hall of Fame in the state 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.760 of Texas, along with soon to be inducted Colt McCoy. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.760 Your backup quarterback who's out there and then of course 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.280 at some point Kyler Murray, Right, Kyler Murray's gonna be 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.400 a member of that as well. In fact, you have 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.960 a pair of state titles in high school? What four 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.200 a state titles? Yes, I should have been three, but 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.680 I got to. I got too because Kyler's got three. Yeah, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.560 So do you now you know Josh Jones Cardinals tackle Texas. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.120 Guy Vivila remembers when he was in high school watching 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.520 some of the videos in the highlights of Kyler Murray, 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.880 Did you do some of that? Most definitely? I gotta 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.600 admit to it. The things he did was phenomenal and 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.000 wouldn't No, I don't think nobody in the state has 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.840 ever done it either. So everybody was eyes on college, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.160 especially when he was coming through and then his senior year, 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.839 it was like everybody kind of knew, you know, so 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.200 everybody tune in at this certain point of time ago 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:51.080 watch Alan play. You know. So your older brother was 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.360 a big time player, right, won a couple of high 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.720 school state championships, and my younger brother, younger brother, okay, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.640 so you know, I know it was gonna screw that 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.520 because you have nine sibil student or not? Yes, what 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.560 was it? Like growing up for those guys like me 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.080 who are just getting to know you, how do you 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:11.360 describe that experience? I say interesting, You know, sometimes we 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.480 can bump heads, but at the same time, it's a 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.199 family environment and that's just where I come from. And 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.760 I feel like that's why coach Cliff kind of drafted me, 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.960 just studying my background, just who I am as a 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.439 person on very family oriented and that's the type of 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.640 background that I come from, you know, leaning on each 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.480 other's shoulder, so you think that's where you get some 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.440 of your competitive fire. By the way, and we're on 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.240 board with Kante Ingram, you know, six round running back 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.719 of the Arizona Cardinals, because I heard it setting here 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.120 that you know, with all the cousins and the siblings, 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.160 that some of the most intense sports competition was in 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:46.079 your own family. Most definitely, all we did was fighting 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.360 each other. We talked noise. I talked noise every single day, 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.240 But it was fun competition, you know, and I feel 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.079 like that's where it comes from. And then also I 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.520 had a lot of older uncles and older cousins. They 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.720 used to chestise me a little bit, So I feel 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.640 like that that's where that competitive is come from. So, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.200 so what's it been like. I mean, all of a 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.240 couple of days, you had rookie mini camp, you had 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.000 a few days here of OTAs. Give me some first 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:14.280 impressions of the NFL. Oh Man catching on fast. We 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.960 gotta go fast, a tempo as far as like just 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.880 attacking the details and just attacking perfection, you know, and 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.000 make sure that I'm in this circle, this one units 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.720 and this one puzzle, and I want to make sure 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.480 that I'm coming in clicking that all cylinder. Especially when 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.480 you got d you got Randell More, you got aj Green, 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.200 then of course you got Kyler Murray and then the 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.720 mount of office line right in front of me. So 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.600 when I step in that role, you know they're gonna 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:40.920 expect me to carry that weight, you know. And that's 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:42.960 one thing that I've been focused on, just my role, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.960 attacking the details every single day and just being consistent 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.400 with what I do. If I said your biggest challenge 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.640 right now it's the playbook, would that be accurate, I'll 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:58.160 say yes, yes, A complex, especially coach Kings. You know, offense, 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.080 I mean it's going, you know, it's fast, you know 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.240 it's not slow, And uh, that's something I kind of 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.040 gotta feel of but just not up to this tifo, 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.320 you know, So just getting a groove of that. I mean, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.760 football's football. It's the same legal it's the same depth 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.800 on the route or reprogression, whatever the case may be. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.200 I just got to get the language down and I 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.040 can go from there. What sort of impression do you 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.400 want to leave the coaches with before you go into 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.880 training camp? A hard worker and a hard nosed guy, 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.840 you know that back that coach King said I was. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.360 You know, I want to go prove that, you know, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.800 and I want to back up what he's say and 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:35.480 also I want to prove a little bit more what 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.160 type of really back I can be, especially being bigger, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.920 having a feat that I have, and then just being 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.440 a bigger of a guy. You know. So how big 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.240 are you right now? Because they know at Texas you 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.600 said once upon a time you're two thirty five two. 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.520 I mean you don't look right now like you're anywhere 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.800 near that. No, sir, No, say I'm two sixteen right now. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:57.560 I'll probably get up to two twenty when I go 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.800 into the season. You know, that's a good way for me. 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.200 But you pride yourself and having some traits of smaller 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.720 quicker bats, correct, Yes, sir, like such ads like for example, 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.720 I mean, you know you tell me, I mean, just 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.440 just tell me. I mean when when they were watching 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.160 your film, because I've had a number of the scouts 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.680 tell me that. Yeah, I mean your value in round 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.160 six and what they see and what they view as 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.000 a complete back. Do you see yourself that way in house? 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.800 Most definitely, especially me being in a system that only 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.560 smaller guys do play, especially being in the gun all 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.360 the time. You normally see guys like me in the 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.880 pistol or you know, back deep, saving eight yards, whatever 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.560 the case may be, and me just showing that aspect. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.600 That just showed you the versatility that I have in 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.200 my game, you know. And then just step in this office, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.040 how they utilize me, flexing me out running, you know, 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.880 little favorites. I ain't gonna say too much, but just 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.280 being involved with the office, I feel like that's just 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.560 my game. I'm just a football player, that's what I do. 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.760 And I'm from Texas, you know. But you had a 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.800 bit of a different role at USC than you did 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.000 at Texas. Correct, weren't you involved much more in the 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.960 passing game? The screen game at SC, Yes, sir, um, 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.600 just the approach, just the offense. Being an air raid 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.320 office at the time and just having guys go this 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.600 the way, this way, you know, take the distance, you know, 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.600 and that was my road there at Texas. More blocking feelsical. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.280 That's why I was a lot bigger, you know, two 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.439 hundred and forty taking on defensive ends and linebackers and 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.440 stuff like that. So I feel like I'm a type 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.400 of guy that can fit in any system at any 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.159 time and do whatever I need to do. Because you 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.399 average nearly six yards to carry at USC, nearly a 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.879 thousand yards rushing, you had five touchdowns, I mean that 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.479 was critical to your future. Getting that season at SC 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.439 and getting the scouts to see the full extent of 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.840 your skill set, I would presume, Yes, sir, I was 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.360 very excited when I got the opportunity at SC, very 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.359 thankful for just to show that aspect of my game. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.480 I'm not just a guy that can go in there 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.720 and ram a defensive end on a linebacker, but also 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.560 I'm a guy that go out there and kids screens 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.240 one on one with the linebackers. I can play with 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.240 the defense a little bit when I'm sitting in the 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.199 gun fire yards from you know, the snapcount, whatever the 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.520 case may be, just go out of my progression. So 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.119 I feel like I'm a very versatile player, and I 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.640 showed that a little bit of its Yeah, Keanta ingram 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.600 Our guests here on the Big Red Rage Cardinal sixth 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.080 round rookie running back. So have you met James Conner yet, 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.800 because they know you studied him a lot on film, right. Yes, 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.880 she was still waiting for that moment to meet him. Yeah, 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:19.520 I'm still waiting for that moment to meet him. So 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.280 I didn't go soak up his brain a little bit. 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.679 So what do you know about him already or at 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.480 least his game? What do you know about James Conner? 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.399 And what are you looking forward to seeing in person? 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.399 One thing I like about this game just about how 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.760 physical he is. And I think you can tell about 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.000 him being a six foot one, six foot two back 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.320 probably like two thirty two twenty eight. You know on 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.800 that heavery ar side. And I like his demeanor. I 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.159 like his attitude to the game, and you gotta have 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.879 that attitude playing running back. You gotta be a hammer 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:48.960 instead of the nail, so you could last a little 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.040 bit longer. In the league. So I can't wait to 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.800 meet him, shake his hand and pick his brain. You say, 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.760 shake his hand, and I know you watch a lot 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.760 of Adrian Peterson, right, oh man, that's bring that up 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.760 because he was a Cardinal's running back for one year 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.159 and anybody around here would know if you shook his 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.280 hand and our Jim momanro shaking his hand right out, 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.840 I mean he would come in. He had the most fierce, 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:14.960 spice lock handshake I've ever experienced. Adrian Peterson. What did 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.159 you respect about AP and just growing up watching his 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.760 film because you're nodding right now, Oh man, just watch 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.119 your AP growing up. That's a little bit of a 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.920 role model. You know. I wouldn't saying a role role model, 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.760 but I'd like to take things from his game and 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.720 just how he interacted with the community and stuff like that. 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.040 Me being in child and going to his camps and 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:36.960 stuff like that. I want to go back and do that, 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.639 you know. So he touched me way farther than just 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.560 on the field. Everybody can see what he'd do on 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.280 the field, but that approach off the field just he 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.760 struck my mind as a little kid, especially when he 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.560 used to gave an autograph he adn't given me. He 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.240 gave him my brother. But I'm telling them when I 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.800 see him. But yeah, I just ada Peterson as a person, 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.919 you know, and coming from where we come from. You know, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.440 he's an hour for while I'm from Palace Date, Texas 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.320 and used to play him in high school all the 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.040 time and stuff like that. And just to see that 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.520 how he make it from you know, where we come from, 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.760 which is such a low chance of making it out, 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.800 you know. I couldn't do nothing but study. I couldn't 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.639 do nothing but watch him, especially just simple interviews, and 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.960 then the comeback season that he had. I almost still 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.159
