Speaker 1: Strap on the boots and scrape up the knuckles ahead.
Speaker 1: He got Jack. This is the Big Red Ray presented
Speaker 1: by Santanford in Gilbert. Harry's gonna score touchdown. That's over,
Speaker 1: Bets goes up and begs the game. When it catch
Speaker 1: Larry Luncheon does it again. The Rage is brought to
Speaker 1: you by her satan Ford in Gilbert. Or are you
Speaker 1: Santanford State Farm Talk to an agent today at eight
Speaker 1: hundred State Farm and buy Arizona Cardinals podcasts, Visit Acy
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot com, Slash podcasts, The Rods, Rising Guard, Temperaturizing Vision,
Speaker 1: flurring Rage, taking it over. Here's Paul KELVC. Get the
Speaker 1: popcorn ready, It's gonna be a show and Ron will flip.
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far
Speaker 1: was a couple weeks ago Wolf that we began the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage by confirming that yes, you can have
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the off season the Mars roll, you know,
Speaker 1: touchdown confirmed. We get it. Paul, Well, I just bring
Speaker 1: that up not only because I gave you and pass
Speaker 1: your touchdown call this coming season, but you know, the
Speaker 1: only thing better than NASA landing on the red planet
Speaker 1: would be what we've seen from Baker Mayfield. Here, a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback with a UFO sighting. Have you seen that, wolf?
Speaker 1: I honestly, Paul, I heard about it, but I have
Speaker 1: not seen it. Paul, Well, he tweeted out, quote almost
Speaker 1: one p m. And I his wife just saw UFO
Speaker 1: drops straight out of the sky on our way home
Speaker 1: from dinner. This is central Texas now, and it was
Speaker 1: a very bright ball of light, he said, coming down
Speaker 1: straight out of the sky. So yeah, Baker Mayfield thirty
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year, what nine interceptions in eighteen games and
Speaker 1: one UFO sighting. And by the way, Wolf, I bring
Speaker 1: this up because they're been reports that during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: UFO sightings are up fifty one percent. Oh I bet
Speaker 1: they are. Poll I guarantee you. So it is a
Speaker 1: liquor cabinet. I'm just saying right now, Polly, Honestly, it
Speaker 1: wasn't a UFO. Absolutely, there are UFOs happen every day, Paul,
Speaker 1: in this country. UFOs are everywhere. They're called unidentified flying objects,
Speaker 1: that's what they're called, Polly, and we see them all
Speaker 1: the time. There's just one big difference. There's not a
Speaker 1: bunch of little green men inside them, paul. So we
Speaker 1: bring that up to start Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford to show
Speaker 1: the difference between almost one hundred percent according to Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield and one extremely real in the acquisition of J. J. Watt.
Speaker 1: That is real, that just happened. Well, it does not.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that, Polly, Honestly? Right now, this is very,
Speaker 1: very similar to the DeAndre Hopkins deal. When it came down.
Speaker 1: You woke up the next day and you kept saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, Wow, we got this. So we got
Speaker 1: we got d hop Man, we got DeAndre Hopkins, and
Speaker 1: you really could not believe it right now. And I'll listen,
Speaker 1: JJ Watt is a big name, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: And if he stays healthy to me, Paulie, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to continue to say that because I think it
Speaker 1: is a valid thing to say in regard to a
Speaker 1: guy that's missed thirty two games over the last five years.
Speaker 1: But if he stays healthy, I'm telling you're right now,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a slam donk. I mean, You've
Speaker 1: got think about if hbo hard knocks ever did an
Speaker 1: offseason edition of Hard Knocks to your earlier point, Think
Speaker 1: of the last three off seasons for the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and now JJ Watt. You're saying
Speaker 1: it's pretty good? Is that you know it's not exactly
Speaker 1: the off season. There's been a lot of really juicy
Speaker 1: storylines and now you wonder, okay, what else might be
Speaker 1: coming when you hear Steve Kyme and Michael Bidwell has
Speaker 1: said it again this week's Serious NFL Radio about how
Speaker 1: there's going to be quote a seismic shift end quote
Speaker 1: in talent across the NFL. Oh that what's coming in
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. Most of us don't expect the
Speaker 1: magnitude of movement when it comes to players. We've already
Speaker 1: seen some big names and big contracts gets sliced from
Speaker 1: team's payrolls. But there's gonna be a lot of players moving,
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a lot of new acquisitions, and
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals having twenty eight unrestricted free agents
Speaker 1: going into this offseason, the potential to have a radically
Speaker 1: different roster, I mean j. J. Watt might just be
Speaker 1: the start. Oh yeah, Pauli. No, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any question about that. Did you see that
Speaker 1: cut by Michael too, that quote by Michael when National?
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that Bolli this morning.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were doing it on what does Greenbird
Speaker 1: Show get up? Or something like that. They actually had
Speaker 1: that quote, and then we're talking about it. This free
Speaker 1: agent period coming up in the National Football League, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be unlike anything we have ever seen before. Speaking
Speaker 1: of UFOs Paulli, this is going to be an unidentified
Speaker 1: free a period. Well, Joe Banner now he can say
Speaker 1: things because he's a former executive with the Eagles and
Speaker 1: the Browns. He tweeted out earlier today the league is
Speaker 1: about to go through four of the more interesting weeks ever,
Speaker 1: and he talked about all the change and what's going
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. He says it's going to be
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for smart teams. Tweet and tweet from
Speaker 1: Joe Banners. So TikTok, something is coming on that front
Speaker 1: with the league years starting March seventeenth. Here tonight on
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage Vans Joseph, Yeah, defensive coordinators come
Speaker 1: and can't wait for that and we'll get we'll set
Speaker 1: the table for Vance Joseph. Next on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Stafford under center
Speaker 1: office that I'm behind him and heat Ran leaders. It
Speaker 1: is the tailback receivers left and right. Here's the snap
Speaker 1: Stafford back to past books. Who's out upside intercepted by
Speaker 1: j J One and he's gonna take it in for
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Matthew Stafford trying to make a quick broad
Speaker 1: J J. Watt reached up, snatch down of the air
Speaker 1: and were runs in for six Qustwood one. That was
Speaker 1: from Thanksgiving Day this past season. It's tradition to Detroit.
Speaker 1: You watch the Lions on Thanksgiving Day in Motown, trying
Speaker 1: not to lose your appetite and then sit down with
Speaker 1: the family board Thanksgiving dinner. JJ Watt the nineteen yard
Speaker 1: pick six. Welcome back into the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by satan Ford and Gilbert We are satan Ford, Paul
Speaker 1: kelvc Ron Wolfley, soon to be joined by defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph. But wolf like you mentioned it earlier, who
Speaker 1: was that moment when the Cardinals made the deal for
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and we remember exactly where we were at
Speaker 1: that exact moment, not unlike earlier this week. And where
Speaker 1: were you, Ron Wolfleet when the news broke that. Jj
Speaker 1: Watt when he sent out the sweet said source me
Speaker 1: and he reported he was coming to the as. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that blew my mind. Paul. It was actually on the
Speaker 1: treadmill over at the compound by the way, Paully, Yeah,
Speaker 1: getting in my five miles, Paul, my five miles on
Speaker 1: the treadmoll mill. Listen, you might want to make a
Speaker 1: tent wolf figure right now. It wasn't like I was
Speaker 1: sprinting on It's okay, Paul, it's a jog. It's called
Speaker 1: the jog at the compound here. Okay, five miles per hour,
Speaker 1: and that's what I was doing. I was run. I
Speaker 1: was on the dread mill, and Polly, I could not
Speaker 1: believe it when I actually saw it. When you're done
Speaker 1: with a treadmill, wolf, do you do what JJ Watt
Speaker 1: tweeted out today? Did you see the picture of how
Speaker 1: he finished up his workout in Wisconsin on a frozen lake,
Speaker 1: taking an ice bath, cutting a hole in the ice,
Speaker 1: and instead of ice fishing, he dunked himself in the
Speaker 1: water for an ice bath. No, Polly, I did not
Speaker 1: see that, by the way, And you've got to be
Speaker 1: kidding me. This is the kind of guy, though, that
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are getting. This is a you know what.
Speaker 1: It takes the body, it takes the soul, and it
Speaker 1: takes the spirit to play the game of football. And
Speaker 1: this guy's got all three things together. There's no denying it.
Speaker 1: This guy is a football player through and through. He's
Speaker 1: going to increase the physicality of this team. You know, Polly,
Speaker 1: this is something I've been talking about all off season.
Speaker 1: This is not an accident suddenly that you go out
Speaker 1: and get a guy like JJ Watt put his hand
Speaker 1: in the dirt. He makes you more physical on the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and both sides of the ball. I
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals have got to get more physical and
Speaker 1: this goes a long way in solving that issue. Cardinals
Speaker 1: made the deal. I tweeted out the Arizona Cardinals just
Speaker 1: to trust their biggest offseason need. Inconsistent energy, inconsistent intensity,
Speaker 1: inconsistent urgency. There you go, Polly, here's a guy that
Speaker 1: to me, he's going to set the tone. All the
Speaker 1: above doesn't take a playoff. You're a Cliff Kingsbury talk
Speaker 1: about it today, not unlike a Tom Brady. His teammates
Speaker 1: don't want to disappoint him. Here in Michael Bidwell mentioned
Speaker 1: culture and leadership. Steve Kim echoed as well, to your point,
Speaker 1: it's not a mistake that they signed a guy like
Speaker 1: JJ Watt and they were willing to pay them. That's
Speaker 1: sort of guaranteed money based on what we saw a
Speaker 1: year ago, which to me bigger than any position group
Speaker 1: or any single player. The biggest problem last year was
Speaker 1: Week sixteen, coming out with all the intensity of a
Speaker 1: preseason game. Paul, I mean, honestly right now, that is
Speaker 1: That's something that the two biggest things you and I
Speaker 1: have been talking about this offseason. I'm big red rage.
Speaker 1: It's the physicality of this team. I want to see
Speaker 1: this team hopefully get more physical on the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage specifically. And then of course it was culter, who
Speaker 1: are we We've got to build an identity here as
Speaker 1: to who we are and how we do things and
Speaker 1: how we go about our business for the most party,
Speaker 1: and I think JJ Watt is a great guy to
Speaker 1: build around. From that point, what you need our dogs Paul.
Speaker 1: You need those dogs in the locker room, right, you
Speaker 1: need one dog to become two dogs, and then and
Speaker 1: then sixteen, and all of a sudden, you've got this
Speaker 1: little daggle of dogs in that locker room. And you
Speaker 1: know what happens, Pouly, the cats start barking. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: few years ago it revolved around Klaias Campbell. Before that,
Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew, Now I think you have that guy back.
Speaker 1: And when he flew in with Michael Bidwell on Redbird one,
Speaker 1: he got off the plane and had this to say,
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. My wife and I are very excited
Speaker 1: to be here. Mister Bidwell, Steve, everybody here has been
Speaker 1: unbelievable so far, and I'm just excited to get started.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to get started, to get to work,
Speaker 1: get to know the people of Arizona, and to go
Speaker 1: to work to try and help win a championship. The
Speaker 1: one thing that I can promise you is I'm gonna
Speaker 1: work my ass off every single day to make you proud.
Speaker 1: And I'm very proud to be a part of the
Speaker 1: Bird gang in the Red Sea. So let's get started.
Speaker 1: Rand I love that Polly right there, honestly right. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: He's not coming in here saying, oh, We're out of
Speaker 1: the souper ball and I'm gonna have twenty sacks, and
Speaker 1: who's not promising anything like that. What I loved is
Speaker 1: he is promising what he can control, and what he
Speaker 1: can control is his effort. I love that promise by
Speaker 1: jj Watt. Most sacks since twenty twelve, Chandler Jones number one,
Speaker 1: ninety seven, JJ Watt, number two in the NFL ninety
Speaker 1: five and a half Pro Football Focus. The highest graded
Speaker 1: edge rushers since twenty eighteen number one, Khalil Mac number
Speaker 1: two t j Watt, number three jj Watt. Well, and
Speaker 1: here's a guy who led the NFL last year according
Speaker 1: to the analytics in drawing double teams with Chandler Jones.
Speaker 1: That's not likely to happen again. So what does that
Speaker 1: mean for the Cardinals defense? We have questions. Van's Joseph,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, is just the guy to ask for
Speaker 1: the answers. He is next on the big red range
Speaker 1: powered by Santan Ford in Gilbert. Jj Watt has just
Speaker 1: tweeted he has signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Whoa jj
Speaker 1: Watt signing with the Arizona Cardinals that he came out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. So this is it? Is it? Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1: I love the fit. A massive deal for really one
Speaker 1: of the more up and coming teams in the NFL.
Speaker 1: JJ Watt coming to the NFC West. It just gets
Speaker 1: better and better and better. That division is stacked. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's an outstanding something. The cardinal's point of view,
Speaker 1: this piece is the difference excited for Arizona Cardinals fans.
Speaker 1: Look at Steve conn got is arrested. Push you Bucks
Speaker 1: making a call. Let's go daj Wattigas he does this
Speaker 1: little dam there's an instantaneous reaction for Pat McAfee, one
Speaker 1: of the few guys that can match Ron wolfway energy
Speaker 1: up off Matt preceded by Tom Pella, Sero, Ian Rappaboard,
Speaker 1: Rich Eyes, and Colin Cowherd, Sage Steele, a medium montage buyer.
Speaker 1: Jim Almahuandro there christening the arrival of JJ Watt to
Speaker 1: the valley. And if we're fired up, and you know
Speaker 1: we are, what about the defensive coordinator Ron Boefley, What
Speaker 1: if your vance Joseph who joins us now on the
Speaker 1: Big Red rate presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Vance.
Speaker 1: Do we need to ask you how you doing tonight?
Speaker 1: I'm good man, how are you guys? We're doing great, Vans.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us party over at
Speaker 1: the compound this weekend? Is that what it's going to be? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: What were you know? One day? And after that it's
Speaker 1: back to the business, you know, free agency and the
Speaker 1: draft stuffs coming up. But obviously excitement this weekend in
Speaker 1: the building there. So you heard the surprise from the
Speaker 1: national media. I know locally none of us saw it coming.
Speaker 1: Vegas didn't even see it coming. They had put ouns
Speaker 1: out on where j J. Watt was going. Cardinals weren't
Speaker 1: even listed. At what point because some report said you
Speaker 1: ran point quote unquote on the recruiting effort as a
Speaker 1: former coach on the Houston staff when JJ walk got
Speaker 1: his start. So at what point in the process tell
Speaker 1: us about the process did you get a real good
Speaker 1: feel like, man, we've got a good shot here. Well,
Speaker 1: when JJ first ash towards release out of Houston, Steve
Speaker 1: called me and say what do you think? I said, well,
Speaker 1: let's watch the film. Let's let's see what he has
Speaker 1: left and after watching a film, man, I mean we
Speaker 1: were really you know, it's not surprised, but I mean
Speaker 1: he was. He was still making plays, he was still
Speaker 1: winning one on once, he was getting double team an
Speaker 1: awful lot. He played over a thousand snaps, and we thought,
Speaker 1: you know, to build our defense and to get better quickly,
Speaker 1: was to add a piece inside, you know, at the
Speaker 1: at the five technique and free technique that can win
Speaker 1: one on one where Chandler Jones coming back and hopefully
Speaker 1: having a you know passon Reddick or Sam Backer outside
Speaker 1: who can win one on once. I mean, he is
Speaker 1: going to have a chance to you know, be a
Speaker 1: real disruptor with our defense, you know. And after watching
Speaker 1: the tape, I mean he was. He was still playing
Speaker 1: well again, he was healthy, playing over a thousand snaps.
Speaker 1: So it was a no brainer. So from that moment on,
Speaker 1: it was a full court press on JJ. And the
Speaker 1: bottom line, I mean, he wanted the process to be
Speaker 1: really really quiet. He wanted to be you know, off
Speaker 1: the off the radar sum So in our people in
Speaker 1: the building did a great job of not you know,
Speaker 1: not leaking that we were involved with we're trying to
Speaker 1: sign JJ, and that part he respected. That was half
Speaker 1: the reason he stayed with us, because it never got
Speaker 1: out that we were involved with JJ. Obviously, he played
Speaker 1: for me in Houston and he won his first, you know,
Speaker 1: first Player of the Year award in this defense, you know,
Speaker 1: so he knows how it works. He knows that he
Speaker 1: can get one on ones, you know, on guards and
Speaker 1: centers constantly in his defense. So it was a perfect fit.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you know, Steve and
Speaker 1: his team did a great job of making the financial
Speaker 1: part work. You know, my guys on defense called him
Speaker 1: and texted him and kind of showed him pick of
Speaker 1: what it was going to be like. And it was
Speaker 1: a perfect fit, you know. And obviously being in Arizona,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a great place to live,
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, you know, having hop here, having
Speaker 1: Collar here, you know, I mean, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: it's a really good young team. And he knew that,
Speaker 1: you know, and he was he was he was excited
Speaker 1: to be here, man. But I wasn't surprised when he
Speaker 1: did signed because it was great conversations for weeks at
Speaker 1: a time, you know, it was it was never a
Speaker 1: time I thought we couldn't get him. You know, I
Speaker 1: wasn't sure it was going to happen, but I you know,
Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was constant, consistent communication on
Speaker 1: a daily basis. So we stayed in the in the
Speaker 1: mix the entire time. You know. One of the things
Speaker 1: I love, Vans is the fact that you you have
Speaker 1: a personal relationship with J. J. Watt. Of course going
Speaker 1: all the way back to being the secondary coach in Houston.
Speaker 1: What do you remember about J. J. Watt when you
Speaker 1: were in Houston. Well, I remember when we drafted JJ,
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, we laugh about this all
Speaker 1: the time about you know, in the in the in
Speaker 1: the draft room on draft day, it was it was
Speaker 1: really way that sold the GM on on JJ, you know,
Speaker 1: because most of the room did not one JJ. It
Speaker 1: was more about Cameron Jordan at the time. You know.
Speaker 1: Even when we drafted JJ, it was kind of booze
Speaker 1: in the in the in the Houston area, you know.
Speaker 1: But Wade did a great job of knowing what he
Speaker 1: was going to be, you know, and um and and
Speaker 1: pushing to get JJ drafted there. But you know, it
Speaker 1: was it was it was the year with the lockout,
Speaker 1: you know, so we didn't have an off season at all.
Speaker 1: You know, so all the rookies and veterans came in
Speaker 1: and training camp, you know, proceeded and went to the season,
Speaker 1: and he was playing good football, but he wasn't JJ
Speaker 1: Watt into the playoffs and and that Week one playoffs
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, man, he played his butt off and
Speaker 1: from that moment on, he became JJ Watt. You know,
Speaker 1: he was always a hard worker. He was always uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a high football like you guy. He was
Speaker 1: always a playmaker. But it took him a while because
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have an off season. You know,
Speaker 1: it took him about you know, fourteen to fifteen games
Speaker 1: to hit his pece. He can. Once he hit it, man,
Speaker 1: it never stopped. But his NonStop motor, his NonStop work
Speaker 1: ethic was apparent day one, you know. And that chip
Speaker 1: on his shoulder has never gone away, even to the day.
Speaker 1: He's still cheated. You know. He was a walk on
Speaker 1: at Central Michigan as a tight end. He walked on
Speaker 1: at Wisconsin. You know, he got drafted in use and
Speaker 1: everybody booed him. You know, so that chip on his
Speaker 1: shoulder is still there, and that's what made him successful,
Speaker 1: you know. Over his career, and at this moment right now,
Speaker 1: you know he still steel cheated. You know he wants
Speaker 1: to get back to playing dominant football. And you know
Speaker 1: that's that part I welcome because I know JJ it's
Speaker 1: going to work his butt off. He's going to be
Speaker 1: a great example, He's going to be a great leader
Speaker 1: for our locker room. But most of all, he's going
Speaker 1: to be an impact player for on defense. Well, there
Speaker 1: are three players in NFL history to win three NFL
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year awards, Lawrence Taylor, Aaron Donald
Speaker 1: and j. J. Watt. So he wants first advanced Joseph
Speaker 1: our guests the Cardinals defensive coordinator. It's all about You,
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. Let me ask you
Speaker 1: what he does for your run defense because fans, no,
Speaker 1: you finished in the bottom third. And if I saw
Speaker 1: this right, he led the NFL and tackles for loss
Speaker 1: against the run. Is that an underrated part of his game?
Speaker 1: No doubt. You know, our run defense our first year
Speaker 1: was pretty good. You know last year what it wasn't?
Speaker 1: That's good? You know, And again I mean you can
Speaker 1: you can determine, you know, how how good you want
Speaker 1: to be in run defense because it's it's obviously if
Speaker 1: you can, if you can play too high and play
Speaker 1: shellots off the run, I mean, that's a that's a
Speaker 1: dominant defense, you know. But um, you know, if you
Speaker 1: have to load the box and add numbers, that makes
Speaker 1: me vulnerable in the past game, you know. So he
Speaker 1: has to pick in twos your moments. But last year
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough in the run game, especially in
Speaker 1: critical moments of the game like four minute and you
Speaker 1: know first you know, first, first and ten, you know,
Speaker 1: to get teams in a second and longer, you know.
Speaker 1: But JJ has always been in and disruptor on first, second,
Speaker 1: and third down, you know. And in this defense, as
Speaker 1: the five technique is a four eye, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: going to be at the point of attack on the
Speaker 1: strong side, you know, so that that strong side power,
Speaker 1: that strong side lead stuff won't won't crease us downhill,
Speaker 1: and it's going to allow our backers to run free
Speaker 1: and to make plays on the running game, you know.
Speaker 1: So I mean he he just won't be a force
Speaker 1: in the pass game, but in the run game alike,
Speaker 1: with having chan back on the open sides and ball
Speaker 1: can't go open side in the three four, it has
Speaker 1: to go strong side, and so having a you know,
Speaker 1: big time presence on side like JJ to push the
Speaker 1: ball out to the Sam backer, that's going to help us.
Speaker 1: You know, if you know, first, second, third down run pass,
Speaker 1: he's going to be a plus to our defense. You know,
Speaker 1: it's interesting vance you mentioned Chandler Jones right there. What's
Speaker 1: more dangerous in your opinion, JJ Watt and Chandler Jones
Speaker 1: running games on the same side of the ball or
Speaker 1: rushing the pass around opposing edges. Well, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: it's going to be times where they're gonna be on
Speaker 1: the same side, you know, because the three technique you
Speaker 1: know to the you know will backer side. You know,
Speaker 1: if he's a if he's a hot and a gap
Speaker 1: vertical guy in the B gap, it's gonna allow Chan
Speaker 1: to have a two way go and it come under sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's it's gonna be ton where
Speaker 1: you're gonna see JJ and Chan together, But most of
Speaker 1: the time, you know, having those guys split, it's gonna
Speaker 1: it's gonna make the offense be honest in protections. You know,
Speaker 1: if if JJ is a four eye or a five technique,
Speaker 1: it's no way they can double team him with a
Speaker 1: Sam off the edge because the tackle has to go
Speaker 1: to the Sam, right, Yeah, the center has to go
Speaker 1: to the nose guard and that leaves that poor strong
Speaker 1: sack guard one on one with JJ. And that's the
Speaker 1: beauty of the three to four. You can you can
Speaker 1: dictate who blocks whoo right, and if they keep the
Speaker 1: tight end in and they chip to Sam background and
Speaker 1: push the tackle to JJ, you know, I mean you
Speaker 1: just basically play zone coverage in and I mean you're
Speaker 1: playing four to two, you know, on on on top
Speaker 1: of the receiver. So having a force inside of the
Speaker 1: three four defense it's critical because you can now dictate
Speaker 1: protections and they can't simply you know, bump the Sam
Speaker 1: or our slide the chan Right, it's going to be fair,
Speaker 1: and someone's going to get a one on one, and
Speaker 1: most of the time it's the strong side end because
Speaker 1: that the center has to go with the nose, the
Speaker 1: tackle goes for the Sam, and that por strong side
Speaker 1: guard has to block JJ one on one. And he
Speaker 1: made his first Player the Year award in his defense, right,
Speaker 1: And that was the reason he made it because he
Speaker 1: got a bunch of one on ones inside and even
Speaker 1: a running game. I mean he had a bunch of
Speaker 1: TFLs that year and a bunch of sacks, you know, Alan,
Speaker 1: so you know, I mean he's going to be a
Speaker 1: force in a boat airs of defense running pass so
Speaker 1: vancy makes the offense more predictable. Is that correct? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: It absolutely does. I mean, if we can, if we
Speaker 1: can dictate on on true passing downs that it's two
Speaker 1: man routes. Now you're playing more zone and playing four
Speaker 1: over two. You know, if they want to keep everybody
Speaker 1: in and block JJ and wide and block channel and
Speaker 1: block our sam backer, that's perfect. You know, we can
Speaker 1: we can play more Sheldon played, you know, top down
Speaker 1: quarter scoverage in and eat up two receivers with four dbs.
Speaker 1: If they want to get five guys out, they have
Speaker 1: to block those guys one on one, right, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. And when you watch our take
Speaker 1: from last year, we had a lot of times where
Speaker 1: we had five guys Russian and they were one on one,
Speaker 1: you know, and we didn't win quick enough. You know,
Speaker 1: But with j D. Watt, who can still win one
Speaker 1: on one. If they do that, he's gonna win quickly.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna make it's gonna make our past defense better.
Speaker 1: All I know is it's third and eleven and a
Speaker 1: quarterback comes the line of scrimmage and he looks to
Speaker 1: his left. He's got Chandler Jones. He looks to his right,
Speaker 1: he's got JJ Watt And then he looks at Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons mug in the A gap and Buddha Baker's flashing
Speaker 1: from the other side. And there's a lot to consider
Speaker 1: if you're a quarterback at that moment. And I get
Speaker 1: all that and what he does for your defense, let
Speaker 1: me ask you what does he do for your locker room?
Speaker 1: Because you can't help. But notice how Cliff Kingsbury and
Speaker 1: Steve Kime and Michael Bidwell Advance have all cited his
Speaker 1: leadership and we did last year at times, intensity and
Speaker 1: urgency and energy was inconsistent. So how far can one
Speaker 1: guy go when it comes to cultures. He's going to
Speaker 1: be huge for that, you know. And obviously professional sports man,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's grown men, you know, and every every
Speaker 1: coaching staff guys is preaching doing it right, you know,
Speaker 1: playing fast, working hard, save your money, you know, be
Speaker 1: good pros, all those things right. But honest to God.
Speaker 1: The culture is pushed through the players. And when your
Speaker 1: best players, when your best players are your best people,
Speaker 1: when your best players are your best workers, right, that
Speaker 1: that dictates your culture, you know. So having a J. J. Watt,
Speaker 1: you know, having a Larry Fitzgerald there, that dictates your
Speaker 1: culture because those guys set the tone, you know, for
Speaker 1: for practice, for extra work, for study, for treatment. Right,
Speaker 1: it goes through the players. And and you know, once
Speaker 1: it happens with culture and it gets rolling, it's it's
Speaker 1: easy to see and it's easy, you know, to maintain.
Speaker 1: But it goes through players. So having J. J. Watt
Speaker 1: here as an example of how to work, you know,
Speaker 1: how to study, how to be a great pro, you know,
Speaker 1: how to play with energy every single down because I
Speaker 1: mean this guy again, guys, I mean he feels cheated
Speaker 1: in life. You know, he's still feel seated. You know,
Speaker 1: so he's gonna walk in the locker room, guys, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna be he's gonna be on on on one
Speaker 1: hundred every single day. I mean, he's a guy you
Speaker 1: have to pull back from practicing so much because he
Speaker 1: will burn himself out, you know about week eight or nine.
Speaker 1: I mean he's burned out from this practicing. So it's
Speaker 1: going to be a great example to watch him work,
Speaker 1: to watch him, you know, um, study how to be
Speaker 1: a great pro even in the community. I mean, this
Speaker 1: guy is so awesome in the community, you know, as
Speaker 1: far as raising money, you know, for the hurricane efforts
Speaker 1: in Houston, all those things, you know, how to handle
Speaker 1: the media. He's a great example you know for young
Speaker 1: guys to follow into mimic. And he's also still playing
Speaker 1: good football. So again, if you're trying to build something,
Speaker 1: you know with a young team, and it's it's always
Speaker 1: good to bring in examples of what it looks like.
Speaker 1: He's been on teams that won thirteen games. In twelve games,
Speaker 1: he's been on teams that's won four you know, So
Speaker 1: I mean he won't be mean to building something, you
Speaker 1: know though, That's that's the that's the great part about
Speaker 1: having JJ. He's been on all kinds of teams. He's
Speaker 1: built teams, he's been on great teams. He's been on
Speaker 1: young teams also, But um, you know, his example, his
Speaker 1: leadership is going to go through the roof because that
Speaker 1: that part you have to have. As much as coaches
Speaker 1: want to beat it. They'll be that that that beacon
Speaker 1: in the locker room. We can't be you know, coach
Speaker 1: coach lad teams only go so far, and player lad
Speaker 1: teams win championships, you know. So having JJ and at
Speaker 1: locker rooms gonna be huge for our team to have
Speaker 1: a real example of what it looks like on a
Speaker 1: daily basis. Vans had a coach one say to me
Speaker 1: that if you get enough dogs in a locker room,
Speaker 1: even the cats start parking. So I thought that was absolutely,
Speaker 1: absolutely exactly. And you know, every coach in the country
Speaker 1: is prem in the same thing, right. Every coach wants
Speaker 1: you to do it right, practice hard, study, do extra.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling until an example shows up, those young
Speaker 1: players have no idea what it looks like or if
Speaker 1: it's worth it. Yeah, and I mean he would show
Speaker 1: this young players. It's worked the man to work hard.
Speaker 1: I have to be self made guys. He's the self
Speaker 1: made guy. Totally. Absolutely Listen, JJ played, as you know,
Speaker 1: a ton last year, a thousands over a thousand snaps
Speaker 1: last year. Do you anticipate him getting that many snaps
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one or are you going to kind
Speaker 1: of monitor his snaps? I hope not, guys, I hope not.
Speaker 1: But it's going to be a true to fit JJ down,
Speaker 1: you know. But hopefully we can have a nice, a
Speaker 1: nice you know rotation with Zach and those guys and
Speaker 1: Rashad Laurens are lucky. We've got a bunch of good players,
Speaker 1: you know, sitting behind him who needs reps, you know.
Speaker 1: So I think I think having those young players behind
Speaker 1: him and convincing JJ that quality is going to be
Speaker 1: better for us than quantity, you know. And you know,
Speaker 1: we can get him out there on the critical downs,
Speaker 1: you know, especially the third downs, the second and laws
Speaker 1: the first of the series. Those those things going to
Speaker 1: help him obviously stay you know, healthy and and to
Speaker 1: be fresh later in the season. But to play over
Speaker 1: a thousand snaps at his age, that shows you, guys,
Speaker 1: his his work ethic and you know, you know how
Speaker 1: he trains man. He trains like an animal, guys. You know.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be He's gonna be in great shape,
Speaker 1: you know. And Jay and I was laughing about, uh,
Speaker 1: Reggie White, you know, Reggie White signed with Green Bay
Speaker 1: leaven Philly. I think Reggie White was you know, thirty one,
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, you know when he went to
Speaker 1: Green Bay and he had sixty plus sacks. Guys, you know,
Speaker 1: so this this, this is not different. It's it's happened before,
Speaker 1: and you know, very similar players dominant inside Russias, guys
Speaker 1: who take care of themselves and freaking natures, you know.
Speaker 1: So hopefully he can have the same susis that Reggie
Speaker 1: had in uh in Green Bay. But it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a chore to pull JJ back. But we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to have a plan for him to understand. Like Jay Man,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll give some of those snaps to Zach.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's he's twenty what five years old,
Speaker 1: you know, give him twenty of those snaps and you
Speaker 1: can obviously you know, have more quality than quantity. But
Speaker 1: he's gonna want to practice every day and play every down.
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a weekly conversation on you know,
Speaker 1: how we manage this rest to keep them fresh and
Speaker 1: healthy throughout the playoffs. Well, we don't know if you
Speaker 1: did any recruiting at the college level and coaching in college,
Speaker 1: but you did a heck of a job recruiting here,
Speaker 1: so you know, on behalf of the whole valley and
Speaker 1: the Red Sea. They appreciate your recruiting efforts. Awesome, man,
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was easy to do. I
Speaker 1: mean it's a great player and a great person. And
Speaker 1: you know, as a as a recruiter, man, you don't
Speaker 1: want to bring anybody your program as you're gonna be
Speaker 1: embarrassed about. And I know JJ. You know he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a player for us. You know that's
Speaker 1: in his heart. You know. I text JJ a week
Speaker 1: ago at that man, you know we need to leadership
Speaker 1: in your example. He text back right away. He said, VJ. No, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm coming to dominate first as a player and I'll
Speaker 1: be an example a leader for you if that's coming
Speaker 1: to play ball. So that's JJ, Van, So happy man
Speaker 1: for you, and have fun with JJ. Okay, I will
Speaker 1: do man. Thank your coach. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Van's Joseph Cardinal's defensive coordinator back with more on the
Speaker 1: big Red Rage. Next, Jota look tall, stack fullus three round.
Speaker 1: It's good troup by one picked up to the forty
Speaker 1: to the three to the tray. He's gone. What should
Speaker 1: he do? J J Watt forty five yards on the
Speaker 1: fucking return? How about that Westwood one night an eagle
Speaker 1: right there, J J Watt with the scoop and the score,
Speaker 1: the funnel return and you heard Vance Joseph drop Reggie
Speaker 1: White and special thanks to Cardinal's defensive coordinator, Welcome back
Speaker 1: into the Big Red Rage presented by Satan Ford and
Speaker 1: Gilbert You know Wolf That that's an app comparison in
Speaker 1: a couple of ways. Number One, JJ Watt talked this
Speaker 1: week on a podcast that as a Wisconsin guy, he
Speaker 1: grew up watching Reggie White. He vividly remembers Reggie White
Speaker 1: at the same age coming to the Packers and then
Speaker 1: just having an unbelievably stellar run with the Packers. In fact,
Speaker 1: the stat is that the only two players in NFL
Speaker 1: history to post three or more seasons with the least
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half sacks in that season would be
Speaker 1: JJ Watt and Reggie White. Think about that, think about
Speaker 1: keeping that sort of company, and then listen to this,
Speaker 1: because you heard it at the press conference this week
Speaker 1: and it bears repeating. Here's the Q and A. It's
Speaker 1: all of five seconds, but it's all you need to
Speaker 1: know about that intensity that Vance Joseph referred to what
Speaker 1: JJ watt how much gas you'd like you have left
Speaker 1: in the tank? A lot, a whole lot. It wasn't
Speaker 1: just the short answer and getting right to the point
Speaker 1: and leaving it there, that's the entirety of the answer.
Speaker 1: It was the look in his eye, yes, at the
Speaker 1: question itself, and well, that's the sort of look I
Speaker 1: look forward to in the carvers front seven. Absolutely, Pollie.
Speaker 1: I took the mouth guard and stuck it in. Paul
Speaker 1: what he said that it's like, yeah, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1: You know, the look on his face, the square jaw,
Speaker 1: and the intensity the fire in the pupils. You could
Speaker 1: actually see it. Listen, this is stuff. Once again, I
Speaker 1: this is I predicate everything I'm about to say by saying,
Speaker 1: if in fact he stays healthy, and I think that's
Speaker 1: a relevant conversation, or at least a point of conversation
Speaker 1: you have to have. But here's a guy that last
Speaker 1: year over a thousand snaps. I can't say it even
Speaker 1: more than that, PAULI over a thousand snaps. And it's
Speaker 1: gonna be really really interesting to see how exactly Van's
Speaker 1: Joseph uses him. He's gonna use him all the way
Speaker 1: across the board. But you know what, it makes an
Speaker 1: offense more predictable. Paul, This is something that I was
Speaker 1: talking to you about, especially in regard to Chandler Jones
Speaker 1: and the use of Chandler Jones. Now, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you can almost guarantee what kind of protection you're gonna
Speaker 1: get when you get j J. Watt. And that allows
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph to scheme when he can almost guarantee if
Speaker 1: he puts JJ Watt and he puts Chandler Jones by
Speaker 1: way of example, on the same side of the ball,
Speaker 1: he can almost guarantee what kind of protection he's gonna get.
Speaker 1: And because of that, you can blitz that better. That
Speaker 1: was intriguing, you know, those on the same side, him
Speaker 1: talking about using JJ Watt at the three technique, the
Speaker 1: five technique, him talking about getting him one on ones
Speaker 1: against guards and centers. That's how he excelled back when
Speaker 1: Vance was a dB coach with Houston. So that was
Speaker 1: all intriguing. And then you know, he just talked about
Speaker 1: the mindset and the makeup of the guy. And Vance's
Speaker 1: quote was he feels cheated quote unquote talking about being
Speaker 1: a walk on at Central Michigan and Wisconsin and then
Speaker 1: you know it just so that stayed with him, not
Speaker 1: unlike Tom Brady who still talks about being drafted in
Speaker 1: this sixth round. So you have that dynamic there, and
Speaker 1: then you have March seventeenth, which is coming up the
Speaker 1: start of the league year. What does this mean for
Speaker 1: the years of Cardinals cap and what else you can
Speaker 1: do with the roster? Well, Steve Kin was asked about that.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like we're drastically limited. I think we
Speaker 1: have some flexibility moving forward, and that's why we structured
Speaker 1: the contract the way we did. We have a window
Speaker 1: on time where we can do some different things and
Speaker 1: be flexible. Yet at the same time, we have to
Speaker 1: be smart with it, and I have to look at
Speaker 1: the future moving forward in the next three years and
Speaker 1: always take a different view than a lot of people do.
Speaker 1: That's Steve Kin. Would you make of some of his
Speaker 1: comments about where the Cardinals go from here, because there
Speaker 1: are definitely needs like the secondary in cornerback. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: one thing about it, Paulie, you just don't know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen when you stop and think about it, right,
Speaker 1: I Mean, you've got Larry Fitzgerald and who knows if
Speaker 1: Larry comes back, and if he comes back for how
Speaker 1: much money is he coming back. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what that is going to be. I think we're going
Speaker 1: to see some restructuring of contracts. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see cots, Paul, June first cuts, guys that will be
Speaker 1: released now that might be actually designated for a June
Speaker 1: first cut. I think we're gonna see a lot of
Speaker 1: different moves by the front office right now. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of hard to predict. I'm not trying to dodge
Speaker 1: your question at all, Paulie, but it is difficult to
Speaker 1: predict what is going to happen here. Well, Patrick Peterson,
Speaker 1: if he wants to test the market, for example, what
Speaker 1: is he going to command in the marketplace at his
Speaker 1: age and coming off last season. Hassan Reddick, what do
Speaker 1: other teams make of Hassan Reddick? Who's in his prime
Speaker 1: and you figure he wants to see what his worth
Speaker 1: is on the open market, But how are other teams
Speaker 1: going to approach him when everybody's restricted by the cap
Speaker 1: to a large degree. Some teams obviously have more cap
Speaker 1: room than others, But you know, a lot of that
Speaker 1: I'm guessing reading between the lines of what Steve Kimo,
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwellt told you and Doug last week. Wolf that
Speaker 1: some of these free agents are going to get a
Speaker 1: sobering realization here in two weeks as to what's truly
Speaker 1: available in the reduced cap world. Yeah, you know, and
Speaker 1: once again too, I think the errors on a Cardinal
Speaker 1: are gonna have a lot of snaps coming back from
Speaker 1: guys that were injured last year. I mean, you think
Speaker 1: of it, just Jalen Thompson. There's a guy right there,
Speaker 1: Paulie where they had to cover a lot of those
Speaker 1: snaps of Jalen Thompson. Yet Jayalen Thompson when he was
Speaker 1: when he was starting and getting the opportunity to play
Speaker 1: alongside Buddha baker Man, I thought Jalen Thompson bally played
Speaker 1: really really well. And there's a guy if they can
Speaker 1: just get him healthy, he comes back. Maybe last year
Speaker 1: was a complete anomaly for Jalen Thompson. He comes back. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, You're replacing a lot of snaps with
Speaker 1: a guy you know can play. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. Everyone talks about all the snaps Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: have got to replace via free agency, and they do.
Speaker 1: There's no denying that they have what twenty eight twenty
Speaker 1: eight unrestricted free agents and restricted free agents as well.
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of different guys they've got to replace,
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. But once again, man, if
Speaker 1: you've got Chan coming back, he's gonna eat eat an
Speaker 1: awful lot of snaps, isn't he that you had to
Speaker 1: replace last year? And would you say Chandler Jones is
Speaker 1: an upgrade over anybody that actually was eating up those
Speaker 1: snaps last year? I would say yes, yeah. If I'm
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right now and you're looking at the addition
Speaker 1: of J. J. Watt and the return at Chandler Jones
Speaker 1: and a division with Aaron Donald and Company, you might
Speaker 1: want to expand your list of teams that you're gonna
Speaker 1: consider a trade too. If you're Russell Wilson at this point,
Speaker 1: and you're right, I mean you Chandler Jones for example,
Speaker 1: coming back, well, that's something easily his contract could be
Speaker 1: extended and the cap number could be reduced greatly. So
Speaker 1: there are other maneuvers that Steve Time I'm sure in
Speaker 1: company have in mind in the Cardinals front office to
Speaker 1: create even more cap room. We'll see that is less
Speaker 1: than two weeks away. Let's talk about the other factor
Speaker 1: involved in US, and that's the quarterback. Next than the
Speaker 1: big Red rage, J J. Watt with the fat twenty
Speaker 1: and a half of the year, the first player in
Speaker 1: the NFL hittory with twenty or more facts just spit career.
Speaker 1: I would say J. J. Watts has the type of
Speaker 1: presidence that you don't want to let him down. And
Speaker 1: you've heard some of those quotes coming out of Tampa
Speaker 1: with Tom and guys just don't want to let that
Speaker 1: type of player, with that type of work guys and
Speaker 1: that type of you know, legend. They don't want to
Speaker 1: let him down. They don't want to be that guy
Speaker 1: that doesn't hold up there into the bargain. And JJ
Speaker 1: brings a similar presence with always accomplished him, his work
Speaker 1: ethic and in the type of person he is there
Speaker 1: go that's Clip Kingsbury. Earlier today we just heard from
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph. I found this addition to the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are santan
Speaker 1: Ford and we asked him about that. Walf how much
Speaker 1: impact can a single player have because we've witnessed that
Speaker 1: before and whether it was Kurt Warner, whether it was
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, the impact one guy can have on an
Speaker 1: entire locker room. And Vance's response was that culture is
Speaker 1: pushed through the players, and that's how it's dictated. When
Speaker 1: your best players, especially are the ones dictating that culture.
Speaker 1: You're a decade in the NFL. Would you agree with that?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, PAULI are you kidding me? I talk
Speaker 1: about it all the time, I really do. I talk
Speaker 1: about your best players have got to model that culture
Speaker 1: for everybody else, Polly, Your best players have got to
Speaker 1: do it. JJ Watt is going to be one of
Speaker 1: their best players, and because of that, he's going to
Speaker 1: be modeling the culture and the mentality of this team
Speaker 1: for everybody else. I cannot stress enough how important this is.
Speaker 1: This is something I was talking to Herm Edwards about
Speaker 1: this very thing as well, Paul, and Herm was saying that,
Speaker 1: you know what, honestly, you need war dot where war
Speaker 1: daddies is what he called them. He called them war daddies.
Speaker 1: You need these war daddies in the locker room and
Speaker 1: suddenly their mentality starts to spread it Two guys that
Speaker 1: are not naturally as aggressive as these war daddies are,
Speaker 1: or dogs as I would call him right here. And
Speaker 1: JJ Watt is a dog, and he's going to help
Speaker 1: that mentality spread in that locker room. And I think
Speaker 1: he's going to have an impact not only on players, PAULI,
Speaker 1: but on the coaching staff as well. It's like Tyron
Speaker 1: Matthew tweeted out during the playoffs this past year where
Speaker 1: he said, the smallest dog in the yard, it's still
Speaker 1: my yard. That's Tyron Matthew. That's his mindset. That's what
Speaker 1: I think of when you think, yes, you think of
Speaker 1: that mentality. So okay, you have that, and look, if
Speaker 1: you can't play, you can't lead. We know that. The
Speaker 1: other axiom in the NFL is no QB, no chance
Speaker 1: and everybody knows that and we've lived through that at
Speaker 1: times as well. So there's no fluke that JJ Watt
Speaker 1: as he was being recruited, identified teams with franchise capable quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: In fact, beyond that, JJ Watt city flash little leadership.
Speaker 1: When it comes to young Kyler Murray, He's been a
Speaker 1: winner at every stage of his life. That's not a coincidence.
Speaker 1: You're a winner because of the way that you work,
Speaker 1: and because of the area that you give off, and
Speaker 1: because of the talent that you have. And I think
Speaker 1: that he has all those things and he's going to
Speaker 1: continue to win and continue to have success. And that's
Speaker 1: a part of the reason that I'm here. I told him,
Speaker 1: by a Texas I'm here because I believe in you.
Speaker 1: You have to have a quarterback in this league to
Speaker 1: have a chance, and he's our guy, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to going out there and playing with him. Your
Speaker 1: reaction to that, and what do you think that does? Yeah, PAULI,
Speaker 1: this is going to be great because JJ Watt, from
Speaker 1: what I'm told, he's one of the first guys into
Speaker 1: the building and one of the last to leave. So
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, it's going to be a
Speaker 1: race between Kyler Murray hopefully being one of the first
Speaker 1: guys into the building and when he's going to leave
Speaker 1: as well, or maybe there's going to be a conversation
Speaker 1: between JJ Watt and Kyler. I'm not saying there is, Paul.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you right now that that could happen.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I think of last year, and
Speaker 1: I think of a game like Week sixteen where the
Speaker 1: team came out flat, and then I wonder how much
Speaker 1: of an impact would JJ Watt up in that game?
Speaker 1: Would that have happened against the Niners in Week sixteen?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Is it really to think it
Speaker 1: would have been different? Absolutely, the level of play is
Speaker 1: going to even out with J. J Watt and Matt
Speaker 1: Locker rool. All right, we'll wrap up this edition. In fact,
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about the leadership and wrap this up.
Speaker 1: It is the Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are satan Ford. If you can't come
Speaker 1: in and put working in the building, go out to
Speaker 1: the practice field and work hard, do your lifts and
Speaker 1: do what you're supposed to do, you should not be here.
Speaker 1: This is a job. We're getting paid a whole lot
Speaker 1: of money. There are a lot of people that watch
Speaker 1: us and invest their time and their money into buying
Speaker 1: our jerseys and buying a whole bunch of and they
Speaker 1: care about it and work four and eleven. So if
Speaker 1: you can't go out there and you can't work out,
Speaker 1: you can't show up on time, you can't practice, you
Speaker 1: can't want to go out there and win, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be here because this is a privilege, just the greatest
Speaker 1: job in the world. You get to go out and
Speaker 1: play game. I think we all remember that it was
Speaker 1: late December and the Houston Texans and route to a
Speaker 1: four win season, and there was at least one guy
Speaker 1: who cared and cared deeply and that was a rant,
Speaker 1: an all timer from JJ Watt. And you know what,
Speaker 1: when your second all time in NFL history in sacks
Speaker 1: per game to Reggie White, then guess what you have
Speaker 1: the field cred to go on that sort of rand.
Speaker 1: But again, it's what Vance Joseph told us earlier in
Speaker 1: the show, right Wolf, that this culture has pushed through
Speaker 1: the players, and he's that guy that the rest of
Speaker 1: the team and especially the defense feeds off of. J. J. Watt. Yes, Paula,
Speaker 1: you gotta have that. You gotta have these guys walking
Speaker 1: around modeling that culture. Listen to a three time Defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, a five time first team All Pro,
Speaker 1: five Pro Bowls. Right twenty ten, he was the unanimous
Speaker 1: All Defensive Team whole decade team. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy has all the credibility you could
Speaker 1: possibly think of right now, So when he walks into
Speaker 1: that locker room, He's going to have a ton of respect.
Speaker 1: This is going to allow the Cardinals to be more
Speaker 1: physical on the line of scrimmage, and it's for you
Speaker 1: to improve their culture dramatically. And those are the biggest
Speaker 1: two things they needed to do in address this offseason. So,
Speaker 1: a guy who could retire today and be a surefire
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer, a guy who most definitely
Speaker 1: has arrived, walks around, according to Vance Joseph, his former
Speaker 1: coach with the Texans, feeling like quote, he feels cheated.
Speaker 1: That's the mentality that you get with a j J.
Speaker 1: That's a chip in the heart, Paul, not on the shoulder,
Speaker 1: in the heart. And that's what Steve kinby Hope is
Speaker 1: talking about when he says he has an infectious personality.
Speaker 1: Special thanks to Vance Joseph, Cardinals defensive coordinator Jim Almahondro
