Or are you 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:31.040 Santanford State Farm Talk to an agent today at eight 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:36.640 hundred State Farm and buy Arizona Cardinals podcasts, Visit Acy 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:45.440 Cardinals dot com, Slash podcasts, The Rods, Rising Guard, Temperaturizing Vision, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.760 flurring Rage, taking it over. Here's Paul KELVC. Get the 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.400 popcorn ready, It's gonna be a show and Ron will flip. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:58.000 It doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.680 was a couple weeks ago Wolf that we began the 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.400 Big Red Rage by confirming that yes, you can have 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:12.320 a touchdown in the off season the Mars roll, you know, 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.479 touchdown confirmed. We get it. Paul, Well, I just bring 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.240 that up not only because I gave you and pass 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.360 your touchdown call this coming season, but you know, the 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.160 only thing better than NASA landing on the red planet 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.040 would be what we've seen from Baker Mayfield. Here, a 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.160 franchise quarterback with a UFO sighting. Have you seen that, wolf? 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.360 I honestly, Paul, I heard about it, but I have 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.200 not seen it. Paul, Well, he tweeted out, quote almost 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.480 one p m. And I his wife just saw UFO 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.280 drops straight out of the sky on our way home 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.320 from dinner. This is central Texas now, and it was 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.200 a very bright ball of light, he said, coming down 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.960 straight out of the sky. So yeah, Baker Mayfield thirty 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.800 touchdowns last year, what nine interceptions in eighteen games and 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.160 one UFO sighting. And by the way, Wolf, I bring 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.720 this up because they're been reports that during the pandemic, 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.200 UFO sightings are up fifty one percent. Oh I bet 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.560 they are. Poll I guarantee you. So it is a 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.280 liquor cabinet. I'm just saying right now, Polly, Honestly, it 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:15.880 wasn't a UFO. Absolutely, there are UFOs happen every day, Paul, 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:21.000 in this country. UFOs are everywhere. They're called unidentified flying objects, 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.639 that's what they're called, Polly, and we see them all 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.560 the time. There's just one big difference. There's not a 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.480 bunch of little green men inside them, paul. So we 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.600 bring that up to start Big Red Rage presented by 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.440 santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford to show 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.680 the difference between almost one hundred percent according to Baker 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:45.400 Mayfield and one extremely real in the acquisition of J. J. Watt. 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.519 That is real, that just happened. Well, it does not. 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.400 Do you believe that, Polly, Honestly? Right now, this is very, 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.040 very similar to the DeAndre Hopkins deal. When it came down. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.200 You woke up the next day and you kept saying, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:00.880 you know what, Wow, we got this. So we got 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.519 we got d hop Man, we got DeAndre Hopkins, and 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.160 you really could not believe it right now. And I'll listen, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.359 JJ Watt is a big name, There's no doubt about it. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.480 And if he stays healthy to me, Paulie, and I'm 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.799 going to continue to say that because I think it 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.320 is a valid thing to say in regard to a 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.960 guy that's missed thirty two games over the last five years. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.480 But if he stays healthy, I'm telling you're right now, 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.959 this is gonna be a slam donk. I mean, You've 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.360 got think about if hbo hard knocks ever did an 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.440 offseason edition of Hard Knocks to your earlier point, Think 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.840 of the last three off seasons for the Arizona Cardinals, 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.400 Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and now JJ Watt. You're saying 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.320 it's pretty good? Is that you know it's not exactly 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.360 the off season. There's been a lot of really juicy 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.960 storylines and now you wonder, okay, what else might be 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.160 coming when you hear Steve Kyme and Michael Bidwell has 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.920 said it again this week's Serious NFL Radio about how 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.360 there's going to be quote a seismic shift end quote 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.840 in talent across the NFL. Oh that what's coming in 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.080 the next two weeks. Most of us don't expect the 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.080 magnitude of movement when it comes to players. We've already 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.000 seen some big names and big contracts gets sliced from 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.279 team's payrolls. But there's gonna be a lot of players moving, 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.920 and there's gonna be a lot of new acquisitions, and 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.200 with the Arizona Cardinals having twenty eight unrestricted free agents 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.640 going into this offseason, the potential to have a radically 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.920 different roster, I mean j. J. Watt might just be 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.360 the start. Oh yeah, Pauli. No, I don't. I don't 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.480 think there's any question about that. Did you see that 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.000 cut by Michael too, that quote by Michael when National? 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.400 I don't know if you saw that Bolli this morning. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.200 Oh yeah, they were doing it on what does Greenbird 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.960 Show get up? Or something like that. They actually had 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.680 that quote, and then we're talking about it. This free 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.839 agent period coming up in the National Football League, it's 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:55.600 gonna be unlike anything we have ever seen before. Speaking 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.480 of UFOs Paulli, this is going to be an unidentified 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:04.080 free a period. Well, Joe Banner now he can say 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.080 things because he's a former executive with the Eagles and 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.120 the Browns. He tweeted out earlier today the league is 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.760 about to go through four of the more interesting weeks ever, 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.960 and he talked about all the change and what's going 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.040 on behind the scenes. He says it's going to be 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.560 a great opportunity for smart teams. Tweet and tweet from 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:29.160 Joe Banners. So TikTok, something is coming on that front 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.560 with the league years starting March seventeenth. Here tonight on 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.400 the Big Red Rage Vans Joseph, Yeah, defensive coordinators come 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.200 and can't wait for that and we'll get we'll set 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.600 the table for Vance Joseph. Next on the Big Red 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:49.080 Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Stafford under center 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.880 office that I'm behind him and heat Ran leaders. It 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.599 is the tailback receivers left and right. Here's the snap 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.760 Stafford back to past books. Who's out upside intercepted by 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.080 j J One and he's gonna take it in for 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.599 a touchdown. Matthew Stafford trying to make a quick broad 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.320 J J. Watt reached up, snatch down of the air 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.240 and were runs in for six Qustwood one. That was 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.440 from Thanksgiving Day this past season. It's tradition to Detroit. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.480 You watch the Lions on Thanksgiving Day in Motown, trying 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.040 not to lose your appetite and then sit down with 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.760 the family board Thanksgiving dinner. JJ Watt the nineteen yard 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.200 pick six. Welcome back into the Big Red Rage presented 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.839 by satan Ford and Gilbert We are satan Ford, Paul 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.760 kelvc Ron Wolfley, soon to be joined by defensive coordinator 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.720 Vance Joseph. But wolf like you mentioned it earlier, who 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.080 was that moment when the Cardinals made the deal for 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.000 DeAndre Hopkins and we remember exactly where we were at 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.480 that exact moment, not unlike earlier this week. And where 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.960 were you, Ron Wolfleet when the news broke that. Jj 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.200 Watt when he sent out the sweet said source me 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.240 and he reported he was coming to the as. Yeah, 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.160 that blew my mind. Paul. It was actually on the 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.880 treadmill over at the compound by the way, Paully, Yeah, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.480 getting in my five miles, Paul, my five miles on 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.680 the treadmoll mill. Listen, you might want to make a 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:12.040 tent wolf figure right now. It wasn't like I was 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:16.400 sprinting on It's okay, Paul, it's a jog. It's called 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.800 the jog at the compound here. Okay, five miles per hour, 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.200 and that's what I was doing. I was run. I 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.840 was on the dread mill, and Polly, I could not 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.880 believe it when I actually saw it. When you're done 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.960 with a treadmill, wolf, do you do what JJ Watt 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.960 tweeted out today? Did you see the picture of how 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:38.320 he finished up his workout in Wisconsin on a frozen lake, 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.160 taking an ice bath, cutting a hole in the ice, 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.480 and instead of ice fishing, he dunked himself in the 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.440 water for an ice bath. No, Polly, I did not 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.400 see that, by the way, And you've got to be 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.160 kidding me. This is the kind of guy, though, that 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.360 the Arizona Cardinals are getting. This is a you know what. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.720 It takes the body, it takes the soul, and it 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.200 takes the spirit to play the game of football. And 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.440 this guy's got all three things together. There's no denying it. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.000 This guy is a football player through and through. He's 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.160 going to increase the physicality of this team. You know, Polly, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.640 this is something I've been talking about all off season. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.120 This is not an accident suddenly that you go out 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.200 and get a guy like JJ Watt put his hand 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.600 in the dirt. He makes you more physical on the 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.000 line of scrimmage and both sides of the ball. I 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.640 think the Cardinals have got to get more physical and 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.320 this goes a long way in solving that issue. Cardinals 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.280 made the deal. I tweeted out the Arizona Cardinals just 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:40.959 to trust their biggest offseason need. Inconsistent energy, inconsistent intensity, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.880 inconsistent urgency. There you go, Polly, here's a guy that 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.760 to me, he's going to set the tone. All the 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.160 above doesn't take a playoff. You're a Cliff Kingsbury talk 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.480 about it today, not unlike a Tom Brady. His teammates 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.319 don't want to disappoint him. Here in Michael Bidwell mentioned 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:02.040 culture and leadership. Steve Kim echoed as well, to your point, 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.439 it's not a mistake that they signed a guy like 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.920 JJ Watt and they were willing to pay them. That's 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.360 sort of guaranteed money based on what we saw a 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.560 year ago, which to me bigger than any position group 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.040 or any single player. The biggest problem last year was 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.760 Week sixteen, coming out with all the intensity of a 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.000 preseason game. Paul, I mean, honestly right now, that is 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.880 That's something that the two biggest things you and I 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.680 have been talking about this offseason. I'm big red rage. 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.320 It's the physicality of this team. I want to see 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.880 this team hopefully get more physical on the line of 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.280 scrimmage specifically. And then of course it was culter, who 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.480 are we We've got to build an identity here as 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.000 to who we are and how we do things and 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.240 how we go about our business for the most party, 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.839 and I think JJ Watt is a great guy to 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.800 build around. From that point, what you need our dogs Paul. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.760 You need those dogs in the locker room, right, you 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.520 need one dog to become two dogs, and then and 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.719 then sixteen, and all of a sudden, you've got this 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.760 little daggle of dogs in that locker room. And you 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:10.360 know what happens, Pouly, the cats start barking. Yeah, a 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.480 few years ago it revolved around Klaias Campbell. Before that, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.640 Tyrn Matthew, Now I think you have that guy back. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.480 And when he flew in with Michael Bidwell on Redbird one, 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.920 he got off the plane and had this to say, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.040 I'm very excited. My wife and I are very excited 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.120 to be here. Mister Bidwell, Steve, everybody here has been 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.520 unbelievable so far, and I'm just excited to get started. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.199 I'm very excited to get started, to get to work, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.319 get to know the people of Arizona, and to go 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.160 to work to try and help win a championship. The 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:41.760 one thing that I can promise you is I'm gonna 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.800 work my ass off every single day to make you proud. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:45.880 And I'm very proud to be a part of the 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.160 Bird gang in the Red Sea. So let's get started. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.240 Rand I love that Polly right there, honestly right. I mean, listen, 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.800 He's not coming in here saying, oh, We're out of 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.199 the souper ball and I'm gonna have twenty sacks, and 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.559 who's not promising anything like that. What I loved is 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.920 he is promising what he can control, and what he 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.600 can control is his effort. I love that promise by 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:14.160 jj Watt. Most sacks since twenty twelve, Chandler Jones number one, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.440 ninety seven, JJ Watt, number two in the NFL ninety 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.800 five and a half Pro Football Focus. The highest graded 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.440 edge rushers since twenty eighteen number one, Khalil Mac number 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:30.000 two t j Watt, number three jj Watt. Well, and 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.720 here's a guy who led the NFL last year according 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.600 to the analytics in drawing double teams with Chandler Jones. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.079 That's not likely to happen again. So what does that 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.760 mean for the Cardinals defense? We have questions. Van's Joseph, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.360 the defensive coordinator, is just the guy to ask for 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.800 the answers. He is next on the big red range 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:59.319 powered by Santan Ford in Gilbert. Jj Watt has just 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:04.640 tweeted he has signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Whoa jj 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.160 Watt signing with the Arizona Cardinals that he came out 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:14.199 of nowhere. So this is it? Is it? Okay, let's go. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.280 I love the fit. A massive deal for really one 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.320 of the more up and coming teams in the NFL. 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.920 JJ Watt coming to the NFC West. It just gets 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.280 better and better and better. That division is stacked. Oh 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.880 my gosh, that's an outstanding something. The cardinal's point of view, 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.040 this piece is the difference excited for Arizona Cardinals fans. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.080 Look at Steve conn got is arrested. Push you Bucks 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:53.319 making a call. Let's go daj Wattigas he does this 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:58.200 little dam there's an instantaneous reaction for Pat McAfee, one 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.480 of the few guys that can match Ron wolfway energy 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.800 up off Matt preceded by Tom Pella, Sero, Ian Rappaboard, 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:09.040 Rich Eyes, and Colin Cowherd, Sage Steele, a medium montage buyer. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.559 Jim Almahuandro there christening the arrival of JJ Watt to 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.959 the valley. And if we're fired up, and you know 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.719 we are, what about the defensive coordinator Ron Boefley, What 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.920 if your vance Joseph who joins us now on the 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.560 Big Red rate presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Vance. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.120 Do we need to ask you how you doing tonight? 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.720 I'm good man, how are you guys? We're doing great, Vans. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.800 Thank you so much for joining us party over at 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.839 the compound this weekend? Is that what it's going to be? Absolutely? 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.480 What were you know? One day? And after that it's 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.120 back to the business, you know, free agency and the 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.439 draft stuffs coming up. But obviously excitement this weekend in 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.800 the building there. So you heard the surprise from the 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.120 national media. I know locally none of us saw it coming. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.360 Vegas didn't even see it coming. They had put ouns 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.480 out on where j J. Watt was going. Cardinals weren't 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.000 even listed. At what point because some report said you 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:05.240 ran point quote unquote on the recruiting effort as a 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.920 former coach on the Houston staff when JJ walk got 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.720 his start. So at what point in the process tell 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.400 us about the process did you get a real good 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.000 feel like, man, we've got a good shot here. Well, 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.319 when JJ first ash towards release out of Houston, Steve 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.560 called me and say what do you think? I said, well, 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.040 let's watch the film. Let's let's see what he has 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.800 left and after watching a film, man, I mean we 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.960 were really you know, it's not surprised, but I mean 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.520 he was. He was still making plays, he was still 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.560 winning one on once, he was getting double team an 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.480 awful lot. He played over a thousand snaps, and we thought, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.240 you know, to build our defense and to get better quickly, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.720 was to add a piece inside, you know, at the 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.840 at the five technique and free technique that can win 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.400 one on one where Chandler Jones coming back and hopefully 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.840 having a you know passon Reddick or Sam Backer outside 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.600 who can win one on once. I mean, he is 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.920 going to have a chance to you know, be a 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:04.360 real disruptor with our defense, you know. And after watching 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.160 the tape, I mean he was. He was still playing 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.920 well again, he was healthy, playing over a thousand snaps. 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.800 So it was a no brainer. So from that moment on, 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.280 it was a full court press on JJ. And the 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.400 bottom line, I mean, he wanted the process to be 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.320 really really quiet. He wanted to be you know, off 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.320 the off the radar sum So in our people in 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.920 the building did a great job of not you know, 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.280 not leaking that we were involved with we're trying to 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.360 sign JJ, and that part he respected. That was half 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.200 the reason he stayed with us, because it never got 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.000 out that we were involved with JJ. Obviously, he played 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.880 for me in Houston and he won his first, you know, 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.560 first Player of the Year award in this defense, you know, 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.880 so he knows how it works. He knows that he 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.600 can get one on ones, you know, on guards and 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.080 centers constantly in his defense. So it was a perfect fit. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.400 At the end of the day, you know, Steve and 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.400 his team did a great job of making the financial 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.160 part work. You know, my guys on defense called him 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.320 and texted him and kind of showed him pick of 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.720 what it was going to be like. And it was 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.720 a perfect fit, you know. And obviously being in Arizona, 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.440 I mean, this is this is a great place to live, 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.240 you know, and uh, you know, having hop here, having 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.640 Collar here, you know, I mean, it's a it's a 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.360 it's a really good young team. And he knew that, 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.960 you know, and he was he was he was excited 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.640 to be here, man. But I wasn't surprised when he 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.600 did signed because it was great conversations for weeks at 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.480 a time, you know, it was it was never a 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.920 time I thought we couldn't get him. You know, I 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.520 wasn't sure it was going to happen, but I you know, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.480 it was. It was. It was constant, consistent communication on 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.120 a daily basis. So we stayed in the in the 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.080 mix the entire time. You know. One of the things 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.280 I love, Vans is the fact that you you have 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.800 a personal relationship with J. J. Watt. Of course going 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.760 all the way back to being the secondary coach in Houston. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.680 What do you remember about J. J. Watt when you 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.800 were in Houston. Well, I remember when we drafted JJ, 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.120 you know, and you know, we laugh about this all 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.240 the time about you know, in the in the in 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.159 the draft room on draft day, it was it was 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.080 really way that sold the GM on on JJ, you know, 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.560 because most of the room did not one JJ. It 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.200 was more about Cameron Jordan at the time. You know. 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.399 Even when we drafted JJ, it was kind of booze 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.680 in the in the in the Houston area, you know. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.600 But Wade did a great job of knowing what he 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.320 was going to be, you know, and um and and 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.320 pushing to get JJ drafted there. But you know, it 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.840 was it was it was the year with the lockout, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.680 you know, so we didn't have an off season at all. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.879 You know, so all the rookies and veterans came in 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.399 and training camp, you know, proceeded and went to the season, 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.359 and he was playing good football, but he wasn't JJ 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:42.120 Watt into the playoffs and and that Week one playoffs 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.119 against the Bengals, man, he played his butt off and 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.960 from that moment on, he became JJ Watt. You know, 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.119 he was always a hard worker. He was always uh, 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.760 you know, a high football like you guy. He was 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.320 always a playmaker. But it took him a while because 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:56.920 you know, we didn't have an off season. You know, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.360 it took him about you know, fourteen to fifteen games 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.520 to hit his pece. He can. Once he hit it, man, 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:07.040 it never stopped. But his NonStop motor, his NonStop work 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.440 ethic was apparent day one, you know. And that chip 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.280 on his shoulder has never gone away, even to the day. 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.399 He's still cheated. You know. He was a walk on 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.159 at Central Michigan as a tight end. He walked on 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.639 at Wisconsin. You know, he got drafted in use and 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.960 everybody booed him. You know, so that chip on his 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.359 shoulder is still there, and that's what made him successful, 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.640 you know. Over his career, and at this moment right now, 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:31.720 you know he still steel cheated. You know he wants 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:35.480 to get back to playing dominant football. And you know 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.199 that's that part I welcome because I know JJ it's 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.119 going to work his butt off. He's going to be 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.040 a great example, He's going to be a great leader 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.040 for our locker room. But most of all, he's going 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.719 to be an impact player for on defense. Well, there 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.439 are three players in NFL history to win three NFL 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.959 Defensive Player of the Year awards, Lawrence Taylor, Aaron Donald 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.000 and j. J. Watt. So he wants first advanced Joseph 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.320 our guests the Cardinals defensive coordinator. It's all about You, 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.320 presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. Let me ask you 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.680 what he does for your run defense because fans, no, 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.040 you finished in the bottom third. And if I saw 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.160 this right, he led the NFL and tackles for loss 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.160 against the run. Is that an underrated part of his game? 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.080 No doubt. You know, our run defense our first year 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.400 was pretty good. You know last year what it wasn't? 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.439 That's good? You know, And again I mean you can 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.400 you can determine, you know, how how good you want 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.679 to be in run defense because it's it's obviously if 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.640 you can, if you can play too high and play 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.560 shellots off the run, I mean, that's a that's a 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.200 dominant defense, you know. But um, you know, if you 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.240 have to load the box and add numbers, that makes 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:41.920 me vulnerable in the past game, you know. So he 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.800 has to pick in twos your moments. But last year 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.200 it wasn't good enough in the run game, especially in 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.680 critical moments of the game like four minute and you 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.000 know first you know, first, first and ten, you know, 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.480 to get teams in a second and longer, you know. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.640 But JJ has always been in and disruptor on first, second, 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:00.919 and third down, you know. And in this defense, as 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.040 the five technique is a four eye, I mean, he's 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:04.399 going to be at the point of attack on the 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.920 strong side, you know, so that that strong side power, 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.680 that strong side lead stuff won't won't crease us downhill, 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.080 and it's going to allow our backers to run free 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:15.960 and to make plays on the running game, you know. 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.040 So I mean he he just won't be a force 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.040 in the pass game, but in the run game alike, 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.880 with having chan back on the open sides and ball 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:24.919 can't go open side in the three four, it has 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.760 to go strong side, and so having a you know, 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.240 big time presence on side like JJ to push the 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.560 ball out to the Sam backer, that's going to help us. 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.040 You know, if you know, first, second, third down run pass, 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:39.119 he's going to be a plus to our defense. You know, 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.560 it's interesting vance you mentioned Chandler Jones right there. What's 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.920 more dangerous in your opinion, JJ Watt and Chandler Jones 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.680 running games on the same side of the ball or 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:53.119 rushing the pass around opposing edges. Well, I'll say this, 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.119 it's going to be times where they're gonna be on 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.879 the same side, you know, because the three technique you 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.240 know to the you know will backer side. You know, 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.040 if he's a if he's a hot and a gap 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.000 vertical guy in the B gap, it's gonna allow Chan 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.600 to have a two way go and it come under sometimes, 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.920 you know. So it's it's it's gonna be ton where 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.680
