Speaker 1: and he got jacked. This is the Big Red Rain
Speaker 1: presented by Santanford in Gilbert. Mary's Gonna score touchdown Slim
Speaker 1: to the ground by Buddha Baker Like a torpedo. He
Speaker 1: came flying into the backfield. The rage is brought to
Speaker 1: you by satan Ford in Gilbert. Are you Santanford State Farm?
Speaker 1: Talk to an agent today at eight hundred State Farm,
Speaker 1: And by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit Hacy Cardinals dot Com,
Speaker 1: Slash Podcasts, The Red sn Rising Guard, Temperaturizing Vision Blurring,
Speaker 1: Rage taking over. Here's Paul Kelvc. I'm ready. I'm one
Speaker 1: hundred percent ready. I'm telling you I'm ready, and Ron
Speaker 1: will flee. It doesn't get any better than that horn.
Speaker 1: Unleash the far All right, maybe I'm missing it around, Wolfley,
Speaker 1: but I'm wondering when exactly does the off season start again?
Speaker 1: What is this off season of which you speak? I
Speaker 1: really don't know, Bullie, but I'll guarantee you you missed it.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it started, is my point, wolf Because
Speaker 1: every month this year we have had Cardinals news. Have
Speaker 1: we not yes, I mean at breaking news. We've had
Speaker 1: headline news. We're two days into June. There's definitely news
Speaker 1: to talk about. And unfortunately, right off the top here
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: We are santan Ford. We do have tragic news to
Speaker 1: discuss before we get to all the football, and there's
Speaker 1: plenty of it. But Wolf, when you saw over the
Speaker 1: holiday weekend that we got news of the passing, the
Speaker 1: tragic death of Jeff Gladney and his female passenger in
Speaker 1: a car crash in Texas, when you went to see
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot com and you saw his silhouette with his
Speaker 1: lifespan listed beneath it nineteen ninety six to two thousand
Speaker 1: and twenty two, and such a young life lost, and
Speaker 1: it just it reinforces that, you know what, we have
Speaker 1: the privilege and the pleasure of talking about the sports world,
Speaker 1: which is far from the real world, but sometimes the
Speaker 1: reality and gravity of it all is unavoidable, like in
Speaker 1: this case with the death of Jeff Cladney. Yes, Polly,
Speaker 1: it really is. It's a situation just heartbreaking. There's no
Speaker 1: other way to characterize this. Jeff Gladney twenty five years
Speaker 1: old heartbreaking, of course, And the first thing I thought of,
Speaker 1: I have to admit this, Polly. I thought of the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. I thought of guys that actually went out
Speaker 1: and played on the field with him, Guys that actually
Speaker 1: had more exposure to Jeff Gladdeney. Now there are some
Speaker 1: guys I'm sure inside the Arizona Cardinals locker room that
Speaker 1: knew him personally, knew what he was about, knew what
Speaker 1: he was doing, knew his likes and his dislikes, everything
Speaker 1: like that. But I thought of his teammates up in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: guys that actually went to battle out on the field
Speaker 1: with Jeff Gladney and knew him a lot better. Because
Speaker 1: it's like anything else, Pauly, we know acquaintances that have
Speaker 1: passed those that have worked with us, of course, and
Speaker 1: it sat there's no doubt about that. Yet at the
Speaker 1: same time, this type of thing, Paul can bring a
Speaker 1: team together inside that locker room, and it was something
Speaker 1: the team discussed. Initially Cliff Kingsbury addressing the entire team,
Speaker 1: and then the team broke into offense and defense, and
Speaker 1: then there were further discussions with position coaches, defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: advanced Joseph yesterday on his message to the team after
Speaker 1: the death of Jeff Gladney at age twenty five, The
Speaker 1: players right now are still in in a processing mode
Speaker 1: of you know, not knowing what to feel. Really, you know,
Speaker 1: it's again, you know, I would dB group is really
Speaker 1: saddened by this, you know, and I totally got this morning.
Speaker 1: I say, you know, life is precious not only to you,
Speaker 1: but to the people who invest in your life, your parents,
Speaker 1: your team, makes, your your cousins and your friends. Right,
Speaker 1: that's so important in life. You know, it's not about
Speaker 1: you all the time. It's about people who invest in you.
Speaker 1: And sometimes young folks think it's about me. It's my life.
Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want. You can't because when
Speaker 1: those things happen, it affects all of us, right, the
Speaker 1: folks who invest in you. Man that you owe him,
Speaker 1: you know, and we make choices and those are free,
Speaker 1: but the consequence they're not. And that's that's plain for
Speaker 1: our guys right now. Really well said all right, aunts, Joseph,
Speaker 1: we were sitting there in that room. You could feel
Speaker 1: the emotion. It was a very poignant message that he
Speaker 1: shared that, and he told his younger guys in that room,
Speaker 1: and as you know, will if the Cardinals issued a
Speaker 1: team's statement, the Red were devastated. Lauren to Jeff Gliden,
Speaker 1: he's passing our hearts go out to his family, friends
Speaker 1: and all who are mourning this tremendous loss. And there's
Speaker 1: no real good way to segue, Paul, obviously, But on
Speaker 1: that same day, the Cardinals had OTAs And why were
Speaker 1: all the cameras? Why were there so many cameras? So
Speaker 1: why were they all pointed in a singular direction towards
Speaker 1: number one? Kyler Murray, who was in attendance? Your takeaway
Speaker 1: and what is the magnitude of the moment of Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray actually being there in person, because there are plenty
Speaker 1: who doubted we would see him this offseas. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: you know, I really don't know what to make of that.
Speaker 1: I was just glad to see Kyler Murray out there, listen,
Speaker 1: especially coming off the Jeff Gladney tragedy, especially coming off that, Polly,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that had absolutely anything to do
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray and some of the other veterans actually
Speaker 1: showing up. I have no idea on that, but I
Speaker 1: will tell you the timing was fortuitous, was it not?
Speaker 1: For everybody the grieving process, Polly. I think it's important. Listen.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because the Amish have a saying of wisdom, Paul,
Speaker 1: that says, the most important things in your home are people.
Speaker 1: And there's no doubt about it. When you walk inside
Speaker 1: that building, when you walk into a locker room, man,
Speaker 1: that paradigm in there. Your brother is the guy lined
Speaker 1: up next to you. It is a close, close fraternity,
Speaker 1: as you know very very well. And because of that,
Speaker 1: I was so glad to see that Kyler was there.
Speaker 1: And again, whether he planned to be there or not,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do know that that leadership
Speaker 1: wheel was a little ajar with the news of Jeff Gladney,
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden that gives the leaders
Speaker 1: inside that locker room the opportunity to grab it and stabilize.
Speaker 1: An unquestioned team leader is Kelvin Beecham. Would you see
Speaker 1: Kelvin Beecham as a wise man, Ron Wally, My goodness,
Speaker 1: he is just one of the guys I would have
Speaker 1: loved to have played with. So when he asked him
Speaker 1: he met the meat yesterday and he asked just about
Speaker 1: the presence and the arrival of Kyler Murray. Did he
Speaker 1: mention anything about on field? You know, Okay, it's an
Speaker 1: ota and you're throwing against air for the most part
Speaker 1: and all that. No, he went a little deeper and
Speaker 1: listen to the story that Kelvin Beacham's starting right tackle
Speaker 1: shared about his quarterback. Now. Just walked by the team
Speaker 1: room and he's leading seven or seven fim work, So
Speaker 1: he's putting into work. You know, it's been a maturation process,
Speaker 1: like I've said this entire offseason, and he's continuing to
Speaker 1: get better and he's continuing to mature. And I think
Speaker 1: when you look at somebody who you want to see
Speaker 1: progress a weekend, a week out, year in a year out,
Speaker 1: that maturation process is really starting to take place. And
Speaker 1: you know what, that's the best news I think you
Speaker 1: could possibly get in addition to him showing up and
Speaker 1: maybe hopefully that makes people bullets shut and deal getting
Speaker 1: done and hopefully in time for training camp, maybe even
Speaker 1: in time for the mandatory mini camp later this month.
Speaker 1: But to me, Wolf, my opinion on Kyler in the
Speaker 1: next step, thanks for asking, would be exactly what Kelvin
Speaker 1: Beecham just cited. The ability to show that leadership because
Speaker 1: when he is a franchise quarterback, and he is and
Speaker 1: he's certainly going to be paid like one real soon,
Speaker 1: we expect that. You know what, that is part of
Speaker 1: the job description. You are a big part of the culture.
Speaker 1: You are a big part of the DNA of this team.
Speaker 1: And guess what the offense revolves around you. Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: formulates this offense based on what your skill set is.
Speaker 1: So I think it's imperative that he is in there
Speaker 1: leading some of these sessions, sure, and hopefully holding guys
Speaker 1: accountable as well. As Aj Green told us on a
Speaker 1: recent edition of The Big Red Rage, the players welcome that.
Speaker 1: And you know what, when you're the franchise quarterback, they're
Speaker 1: looking to you for that. Yeah, Pali. The entire pass
Speaker 1: apart two, The key that unlocks all locks to this
Speaker 1: entire conversation can be found in what Calvin Beecham is saying.
Speaker 1: He's not a finished product. What he basically is saying,
Speaker 1: I'll give you translation, Kyler Murray's not a finished product
Speaker 1: and he needs to work at his job. I mean
Speaker 1: that basically is what he is saying right now. And
Speaker 1: he's also saying he's reporting. I should say that he
Speaker 1: is doing just that. The maturation process and working at
Speaker 1: his job means he is running a seven on seven
Speaker 1: tape session. He is running at Paul, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, you have no idea how important that is.
Speaker 1: When you get your quarterback, your your quarterback grabs the
Speaker 1: clicker and he starts running the meeting, every eye is
Speaker 1: wide open, every spine is straight, and you sit up
Speaker 1: and you know this guy is not a coach, and
Speaker 1: that puts you on alert immediately. Believe it or not.
Speaker 1: It seems counterintuitive, PAULI, but it makes even more people
Speaker 1: sit up in their chairs. When a quarterback grabs a
Speaker 1: clicker and he starts talking about what's what. That's a
Speaker 1: great sign of leadership. And well, if you know this,
Speaker 1: the best situations in an NFL team are where the
Speaker 1: quarterback is the culture. I mean, how did the Bengals
Speaker 1: advance to the super Bowl out of nowhere last year?
Speaker 1: To it's two words, Joe Burrow, he was the Bengals culture.
Speaker 1: So when the Cardinals made the run to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and I've talked to him about this on Cardinals Underground,
Speaker 1: the podcast, it was Kurt Warner telling everyone we're not
Speaker 1: settling for a division title. No, the season starts now
Speaker 1: with the postseason. It was Carson Palmer running those Friday
Speaker 1: practices all by himself. Basically, bea would just outsource to
Speaker 1: do his quarterback and it would be Carson Palmer barking
Speaker 1: out directions and holding guys accountable. So you're right, this
Speaker 1: is the next step for at twenty four year old
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback in Kyler Murray. And now he has Hollywood
Speaker 1: Brown in the fold. And as our Jim Almahundro said,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to actually take credit for this growan,
Speaker 1: he said, is oklahomy. Hollywood Brown is in the fold.
Speaker 1: And we saw him out there as well, wearing number two,
Speaker 1: and then there's number four, Rondelle Moore. And he was
Speaker 1: asked about interacting with the Cardinal's new receiver, Marquis Brown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his lockers actually right next to mine. But great dude,
Speaker 1: solid guy, works hard, He's came in, he's asked questions,
Speaker 1: and so just to have that humility as a guy
Speaker 1: who's been in league for this is what's going on
Speaker 1: his fourth year, right, So just to have that humility
Speaker 1: and you know, set his pride aside and come in
Speaker 1: and want to learn and want to work is exciting
Speaker 1: to see. So he's been nothing but great. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: is you know, Polly, I I have to go back
Speaker 1: to what you were saying about Joe Burrow and Kurt Warner.
Speaker 1: Those guys had huge personalities, huge personalities, they the swag
Speaker 1: that they had. Of course, yes, that one person can
Speaker 1: be your culture, but Polly, I think the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: are in a different situation. Listen, Kyler Murray doesn't have
Speaker 1: to have that kind of massive personality. It doesn't have
Speaker 1: to have that kind of swag. What he has to
Speaker 1: have is accountability above all else. He has to be
Speaker 1: accountable to his peers inside that locker room, Paul. If
Speaker 1: he's just accountable, it doesn't have to be the guy
Speaker 1: that's cracking jokes. It doesn't have to be the guy
Speaker 1: that's smoking a cigar. It doesn't have to be the
Speaker 1: guy that's got all this confidence oozing in swag. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do any of that. What he has
Speaker 1: to do is hold himself to an accountability level that
Speaker 1: nobody He won't hold anyone else in that locker room too.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense, Paul? And then he has to
Speaker 1: be willing to walk up and hold others accountable. But
Speaker 1: he's got to hold himself to a standard. He won't
Speaker 1: hold anyone else too. And if Kyler does, if Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray does just that, Paul, He's going to be an
Speaker 1: awesome leader going forward. Hey, who's to say the Cardinals
Speaker 1: didn't need to see a little bit more that this
Speaker 1: week before they write that check, before they make that
Speaker 1: sort of investment, right, absolutely, PAULI. As Mike Garifolo reported
Speaker 1: NFL Network, you know, look the constract extension. They're not
Speaker 1: sure if it's imminent or not, but it was a
Speaker 1: show a good faith from Kyler in his side that
Speaker 1: discussions on a new deal will pick up. So we'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see if there's cause and effect. Here you can
Speaker 1: hear episode thirty of the Day Pass podcast featuring wait
Speaker 1: for it, jj Watt Oh Big Get by the Pash podcast.
Speaker 1: You can get that wherever you find your podcasts and
Speaker 1: get the latest updates via Twitter at pash pod. All Right,
Speaker 1: it's a big red Rage and the big guest tonight
Speaker 1: is Wolf. I would say one of the big keys
Speaker 1: to the season, Kyler's number one to me, Zaving Collins
Speaker 1: is number two, number three. Dare I say Devon Kennard
Speaker 1: because in the NFL it's all about the quarterback and
Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback. Can the Cardinals do that? By
Speaker 1: Stavon Canard? Next the Big Red Rage presented by Satan
Speaker 1: Port and Gilbert we Are Satan Poor jet sweep to
Speaker 1: hack New New Yor's side and he gets clocked at
Speaker 1: the twenty five. What a vicious tackle by Davon Kennard
Speaker 1: snapped to Rodgers. He keeps, rolls right, throws a ball
Speaker 1: fat in the air and a complaint and complaint. It
Speaker 1: was canardin out a hand on it slammed the ground
Speaker 1: of the twenty yard line for a sack. Devon Kennard
Speaker 1: hands it off straight ahead to mos Dirt. He is short.
Speaker 1: It was Devon Cannard who had the head. Lawrence takes
Speaker 1: kid the Robinson running right, met by Kennard, who got
Speaker 1: off a block and stuff the play, hands it off
Speaker 1: nowhere to run between the tackles. Devon Canard making a
Speaker 1: play on Alfred Morris in the backfield may feel hip,
Speaker 1: but he steps up again and he fumbles the ball.
Speaker 1: It's loose on the far side. Devon Canard hops on it.
Speaker 1: He's got it for the Cardinals. All right, now about
Speaker 1: a highlight reel of Devon Knard, which is a reminder
Speaker 1: over here that I don't want this personally to be
Speaker 1: a low light. Okay, all right, Paul Pigskin, I feel
Speaker 1: like Devon. Then I'm almost interviewing right now for a
Speaker 1: future position with DK Incorporating, because we all know you
Speaker 1: have big plans after football, after your career, whenever it ends.
Speaker 1: And by the way, you're entering what your ninth season, round,
Speaker 1: ninth season? You look really good? What are you wan
Speaker 1: at right now? I'm about two fifty five normal, Yeah,
Speaker 1: about the same way, Tom. But I've leaned out a lat,
Speaker 1: gained some muscle, loss of fat. So feeling really good
Speaker 1: going into this year. I thought I was winning the
Speaker 1: off season until I got to look at you right
Speaker 1: here on the big Red Range presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert. Where do you want to start? I mean
Speaker 1: we could start by talking football. We could talk I
Speaker 1: mean community, we can talk business. Right, you have so
Speaker 1: many various interests we could talk. No, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're not talking usc Okay, we're not talking Lincoln Riley.
Speaker 1: We definitely got to talk football. First, we gotta keep
Speaker 1: the main thing, the main thing, USC football. We're taking
Speaker 1: over goodness. I think I speak for everyone in the AC.
Speaker 1: We were much happier when USC was going five hundred
Speaker 1: every year and going to like the Idaho potato spud
Speaker 1: bawl Okay. Now you guys are having these ridiculous recruiting efforts.
Speaker 1: Right with Lincoln Riley, we got we gotta put the
Speaker 1: Pac twelve back on the map. Things has kind of
Speaker 1: fallen off in the Pac twelve. College football is better
Speaker 1: when USC is on the Mount rushmore. So I think
Speaker 1: we're headed back. All right, Let's go back to another topic.
Speaker 1: Then that's enough of USC. You're you're off the field
Speaker 1: this week with the OTAs. Give me some impressions. You know,
Speaker 1: what's it like for you? What is your goal here?
Speaker 1: You're almost a decade in the league, So what are
Speaker 1: you trying to achieve in these voluntary sessions. I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to get better. I feel like some
Speaker 1: of my best ball is still ahead of me. I
Speaker 1: feel good. I feel young, even though in football years
Speaker 1: I'm old, going on thirty one in my ninth year
Speaker 1: in the league. But I feel really good. And I
Speaker 1: love my craft, so I'm trying to get better, work
Speaker 1: on my pass rush, work on you know, my hands,
Speaker 1: and just really improve. While you're here, you get the
Speaker 1: opportunity to kind of go against the offense, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter like it does during the season, so you can,
Speaker 1: you know, try new things. That's that's what's important for me,
Speaker 1: is you know, when you're younger, you're making all the efforts.
Speaker 1: You're trying to prove your point. I feel like everybody
Speaker 1: on the team knows what I bring to the table,
Speaker 1: and now I'm trying to add tools to my toolbox
Speaker 1: this time of year. You know what the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: do not add a veteran pass rusher in the off season.
Speaker 1: They lost Chandler Jones. But you can look at the
Speaker 1: old line room. You can look at running back. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get wide receiver, you can look at tight end.
Speaker 1: They've all bolstered those rooms. But although there's two draft picks,
Speaker 1: so what does that say? What does it about say
Speaker 1: about you and your role and what this defense is
Speaker 1: gonna look like, especially in your view without Chandler Jones. Now,
Speaker 1: I think it provides a lot of opportunity for everybody
Speaker 1: in our room, and you know, Marcus Golden obviously is
Speaker 1: gonna gonna step up in a major way. But we
Speaker 1: have me and Dennis Gardek. We got three rookies that
Speaker 1: we dressed, drafted, and Victor de mckij from last year.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm confident in our room. I think
Speaker 1: it's a good mix of young guys who are hungry
Speaker 1: and some veterans who really know what they're doing, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna get the job done. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, a really explosive room and exciting room,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be a big part of why we win.
Speaker 1: Devon Canard our guest on the Big Red Race presented
Speaker 1: like Saantan Ford and Gilbert so no Chandler Jones. What
Speaker 1: does that mean for this defense this year? I think
Speaker 1: it means that other guys have opportunities to step up,
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be a great chance for
Speaker 1: guys like Isaiah Simmons to be, you know, to play
Speaker 1: a bigger role, Zavian Collins, Marcus Golden myself. You know,
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardek just signed a bigger deal and you know,
Speaker 1: two years ago before his acl showed what he can
Speaker 1: do pass rushing, So you know, um, I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be a mixture of a lot of different
Speaker 1: things and you're going to be able to see what
Speaker 1: we're all capable of. And you know, Chandler Jones is
Speaker 1: hard to replace. That's a Hall of Fame player one
Speaker 1: hundred plus two sacks. So I don't think anybody's stepping
Speaker 1: up and be like, oh, I'm the next Chandler Jones.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, my focus is being the best
Speaker 1: Devon Knard I can be in helping this team win.
Speaker 1: Does the scheme have to change? Does Vance Joseph have
Speaker 1: to do something different? I don't know, Maybe go back
Speaker 1: to like twenty twenty when Chandler went down in Game
Speaker 1: five with the injury, right, I mean, does Vance Joseph
Speaker 1: have to do the exs and owes a little differently
Speaker 1: this year? Perhaps? I don't. I don't think so. But
Speaker 1: that's more of a question for him, But for me,
Speaker 1: I feel like you provide other guys an opportunity to
Speaker 1: go out there and make place, and it seems like
Speaker 1: that's what it will look like. But we'll kind of
Speaker 1: see how things go the rest of this OTAs and
Speaker 1: once the camp starts, and of course this defense doesn't
Speaker 1: have Jordan Hicks rights. And you mentioned Zavian Collins. How
Speaker 1: does he look so far? How ready do you think
Speaker 1: he is for that middle linebacker spot. Zaven really impress me.
Speaker 1: You know, he takes the game very serious and um,
Speaker 1: you know, as a very smart kid. So I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see see what he can do. You know, he
Speaker 1: played a limited role role last year, but I feel
Speaker 1: like it's going to be a much increased role this season,
Speaker 1: and it seems like he's ready to step up to
Speaker 1: the plate and take ownership of that. You'd like to
Speaker 1: see in your inside backers, Uh, they can demand the
Speaker 1: huddle and demand the room and really understand what everybody's
Speaker 1: doing because you're kind of orchestrating. You're the quarterback of
Speaker 1: the defense. And you know, I think he's showing all
Speaker 1: of us that he has that in him and that's
Speaker 1: really encouraging. So I'm excited for him. Devon Canard, our
Speaker 1: guest on the Big Red Rage Train, tell us football
Speaker 1: one oh one? Just how detailed, right? How complex is
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense? How many checks does this defense make
Speaker 1: snap to snap? Just reacting to what an offense does
Speaker 1: there's probably a lot more than we realize. Correct, Oh, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know. But one thing, we try to make it
Speaker 1: simple for us and complicated for the offense. So for us,
Speaker 1: you know, we categorize things in a way the way
Speaker 1: Vance calls calls our plays to where you can kind
Speaker 1: of lump certain defenses together to where you're not memorizing
Speaker 1: a thousand different defenses. They all kind of have, you know,
Speaker 1: like a bucket that they go in like so to
Speaker 1: where it's quick recall. And I think that's really huge
Speaker 1: because it makes it easy for us. But now we're
Speaker 1: able to call pressures from the strong side, from the
Speaker 1: weak side, from the tight inside, from them, from the
Speaker 1: running back side. There's a lot of different ways that
Speaker 1: we can we can bring pressure, a lot of different
Speaker 1: guys that we can utilize. Um, you know, we can
Speaker 1: run run guys like Isaiah Simmons and bass defense and
Speaker 1: nickel defense at safety. We can do different things and
Speaker 1: it looks like guys are all in different places, but
Speaker 1: for us, it's not complicated. So I think I think
Speaker 1: that's the key in this defense and provides us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to be successful. And it's really important that we
Speaker 1: take the next step in on defense. I think we
Speaker 1: did a lot of things well, but we didn't put
Speaker 1: together a full season. How we plan to Yeah, Buddha
Speaker 1: Baker said the other day to the media, said, you know, one,
Speaker 1: we got to seven and oh ten and two and
Speaker 1: maybe guys got comfortable. How would you diagnose what happened
Speaker 1: with those five losses in the last six games? What
Speaker 1: did happen? It's hard to pinpoint on one thing, but
Speaker 1: I'll just say, you know, you can never rest on
Speaker 1: your laurels in this league. I've been in the league
Speaker 1: a long time and I've realized that, and you can
Speaker 1: you can never get comfortable. And I don't know that
Speaker 1: we got comfortable. Our work habits were the same, so
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna say that that was the case.
Speaker 1: But I think attention to detail later in the season
Speaker 1: really matters. So we got to start making points of
Speaker 1: that now and get be further along. So the little details,
Speaker 1: you know, if we're supposed to be if you're a
Speaker 1: covered guy and you're supposed to be outside leverage, make
Speaker 1: sure you're you're outside leverage. Other you know, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna get beat, get beat away from your leverage. Not
Speaker 1: to your leverage if you're if you're an edge guy
Speaker 1: like myself, but and there's a defense and it demands
Speaker 1: us to slant to the B gap. Make sure you
Speaker 1: get all the way in the B gap. Don't get
Speaker 1: cut out. Just little little details you really gotta be
Speaker 1: on and you got to be exact with as the
Speaker 1: year goes on, because team starts a game plan and
Speaker 1: they have a lot of film on exactly what you've done,
Speaker 1: and it's it's about execution late in the year. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been on a lot of teams and a lot
Speaker 1: of people say, you know, the season really starts in
Speaker 1: November and December. You know, September and October. You're earning
Speaker 1: the right to go out and compete in November and
Speaker 1: December and for those games to matter. So you know,
Speaker 1: September and October is great, but November, you got every
Speaker 1: team has all this footage on every player, on what
Speaker 1: the scheme is doing, and it's who can out execute.
Speaker 1: So you know, at the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: just don't think we executed as well as we could
Speaker 1: have last year, and that needs to be a point
Speaker 1: of emphasis now all the way to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Cardinals edge guy Devon Canard, our guest on The Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. Of course
Speaker 1: we know the second half of this season hell all
Speaker 1: hard knocks. They're building this as bringing the heat on
Speaker 1: hard knocks as they're coming to the az What do
Speaker 1: you make of that, because I'll just tell you my
Speaker 1: personal opinion is that, yes, it's about marketing, Yes it's
Speaker 1: about branding, Yes it's about content. But if you listen
Speaker 1: to Cliff Kingsbury and you listen to Steve Khme talking
Speaker 1: about how it's never a bad thing to put a
Speaker 1: camera in someone's face and see if you get the
Speaker 1: best out of them, I think there's a football decision
Speaker 1: dynamic to this team fading each of the last two
Speaker 1: years and now here comes hard knocks the second half
Speaker 1: of this season. What do you make of the NFL
Speaker 1: films cameras. I never thought of that, but that might
Speaker 1: be a spark, you know for some guys, whatever your
Speaker 1: motivation is allowed to be. You know, for me, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter cameras not cameras. Like you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like we got to come to work and it's about
Speaker 1: winning games. So the cameras and the branding and the marketing.
Speaker 1: All that's cool, but none of that matters if we're
Speaker 1: not winning games. So you know, let's put ourselves in
Speaker 1: position to September and October. So when when those cameras
Speaker 1: start coming, those games matter, Like you know, I just
Speaker 1: mentioned that now. Now those games are gonna matter even
Speaker 1: more if we're handling business in the first half of
Speaker 1: the year. Second half year year comes around and now
Speaker 1: the cameras show up and you know it's time to
Speaker 1: buckle down in the second half of the season. Let's roll, right. So,
Speaker 1: how comfortable are you in front of the camera, especially
Speaker 1: after the NFL broadcast boot camp? What was that all about?
Speaker 1: Do you like that? Yeah, I got no problems being
Speaker 1: in front of in front of a camera. There's definitely
Speaker 1: definitely no issue for me. But uh, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: really serious about my work. So some guys, you know,
Speaker 1: for me, when it's football time's football time. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what allowed me to have the career I have.
Speaker 1: And people are you know, often asked like or are
Speaker 1: you sidetracked? Man? You know, the amount of work I
Speaker 1: put into too football, the amount of training I put
Speaker 1: in I don't think people kind of recognize that everything else,
Speaker 1: I do a secondary Uh. You know, I'm very serious
Speaker 1: about keeping the main thing the main thing. But you know,
Speaker 1: some guys are video game guys. Some guys are are
Speaker 1: you know, do whatever else they do. And for me,
Speaker 1: it's it's business and broadcasting and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's what I do in my free time. Do
Speaker 1: you have any stock tips to vaunt anything? You can't?
Speaker 1: It's investing. You got any hot tips in this market?
Speaker 1: Right now? Man, buy and hold real estate for me.
Speaker 1: For me, I'm a big real estate guy. So all
Speaker 1: my friends who are in the stock market and they're
Speaker 1: getting crush right now, I'm like, hey, I always talk
Speaker 1: about mailbox money, and the checks is still clearing for
Speaker 1: me because I got tenants living in all my properties.
Speaker 1: So by real estate, tell Wolf to stop investing in crypto. Okay,
Speaker 1: no more bitcoin Wolf, My goodness over there. So all right,
Speaker 1: what about the community as well? Didn't you and Dennis
Speaker 1: Gardeck have an event recently? I saw J. J. Watt
Speaker 1: was there as well. Yeah it was. It was at
Speaker 1: my old high school, which was a really big deal
Speaker 1: for me. Desert Visto. Yeah, yeah, so old high school
Speaker 1: out here, Desert vest To High school. Uh, it's the
Speaker 1: second year I've had a camp. Dennis came out and
Speaker 1: helped me out, and I tried to get as many
Speaker 1: as teammates as I could. They just got a new
Speaker 1: head coach, Coach Gill, so he invited us in. We
Speaker 1: had over one hundred and seventy five kids, which was
Speaker 1: one of which I think is the biggest high school
Speaker 1: camp that that the Cardinals have helped host. You know,
Speaker 1: That's what I was told. So that's pretty cool. Hopefully
Speaker 1: we can keep keep getting bigger and bigger, you know,
Speaker 1: next year and moving forward. All right, speaking to kids,
Speaker 1: last question, the rookies Cameron Thomas, my J Sanders give
Speaker 1: us some first Prussians so far. Man, I think they
Speaker 1: both have an opportunity to be longstanding guys in this
Speaker 1: league and can really step up and make a difference.
Speaker 1: M Maj's very athletic, smart, he really understands the game.
Speaker 1: And Cam has a unique skill set. You know, the
Speaker 1: kid is very big. He has opportunity to do a
Speaker 1: lot of different things, and you know, I'm interested to
Speaker 1: see how things go when the pass get on. It's
Speaker 1: hard to say. Most I can say the is in
Speaker 1: the classroom. They're really starting to pick things up. And
Speaker 1: that's that's important because for me as a rookie, I
Speaker 1: was a fifth round draft pick and I ended up
Speaker 1: starting as a rookie, and young guys often asked, like,
Speaker 1: you know, what's the secret? And for me, if you
Speaker 1: can limit mistakes and don't make the same mistake twice,
Speaker 1: you're gonna put yourself in good position because now you
Speaker 1: can kind of play free. If you know what you're
Speaker 1: doing and you're doing the right things, then you can
Speaker 1: let your athleticism take hold. So I think they're taking
Speaker 1: the right steps to really have the defense down. So
Speaker 1: when the pads get on and things get really get
Speaker 1: to get to crack and uh, you know, they'll be
Speaker 1: in position to make place and to come full sort
Speaker 1: speaking of starting, is it your job to lose opposite
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden? I don't know, you know, IM, It's it's
Speaker 1: kind of up in there right now. I you know,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping, I'm giving the opportunity right now. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to compete to the best of my ability and you know,
Speaker 1: show what I can do and let the chips fall
Speaker 1: where they may. You know, Um, I'm not really one
Speaker 1: of those forecasting on what the situation is going to be.
Speaker 1: I know what's your confidence level? Though? If VJ says, okay,
Speaker 1: you know what you're starting and is your job. What's
Speaker 1: you started as a rookie in this league, So what's
Speaker 1: your confidence level you can produce replacing Chandler Jones. I
Speaker 1: started my entire career in the league, so until until
Speaker 1: I got here in Arizona. So I'm very comfortable in
Speaker 1: the starting lineup, and you know, I would I would
Speaker 1: thrive on an opportunity to to, you know, prove that
Speaker 1: I can still do that. Nice all right, last question
Speaker 1: as you wrap it up here with Devon Knard, you
Speaker 1: guys are walking off the field. Recently, the social media
Speaker 1: cameras at Easy Cardinals posted the question which actor would
Speaker 1: play you in a movie about your life? What was
Speaker 1: your answer? By the way, did I see you're one
Speaker 1: of the many guys said then Washington? What was your answer?
Speaker 1: I said Will Smith? But there was there was a
Speaker 1: lot of beef about that because he just recently slapped
Speaker 1: Chris Rock and all that, But I don't care. He's
Speaker 1: still one of my favorite actors. Will Smith is my guy.
Speaker 1: So I went with Will Smith. I knew everybody else
Speaker 1: was gonna say, Denzel, but look, the hands down Ringer
Speaker 1: is your coach. And Ryan Gosling, I mean, come on
Speaker 1: with the sunglasses on, Ryan Gosling and Cliff Kingsbury. I
Speaker 1: mean that's hands down the winter. Oh absolutely, that's that
Speaker 1: has to be the go to. All right, Devon, we
Speaker 1: appreciate it, and Wolf better be really nervous. Okay when
Speaker 1: you're done playing and you come gunning for his gig
Speaker 1: as Cardinals analysts after the broadcast boot camp, your performance
Speaker 1: here tonight, we appreciate it. Hey man, I can't wait
Speaker 1: to join you. Guys. There you go, a Devon canard.
Speaker 1: As we continue with a big red rage presented by
Speaker 1: Santan paul In Gilbert suck An eleven under centers. PRESCOTTI
Speaker 1: takes drops back and throwing drop ball, steps up and
Speaker 1: he gets away from a Cardinal, runs forward the ball
Speaker 1: forty and looks jump on it at the forty four
Speaker 1: yard line. Dak coughed it off and it's recovered by
Speaker 1: Arizona Off Dennis Gardak has the ball. Isaiah Simmons popped
Speaker 1: it out, recovered by Gardak. A huge play by Isaiah Simmons,
Speaker 1: who came on the flints and then missed the tackle attempt,
Speaker 1: but continued to follow Dad Prescott downfield and punched the
Speaker 1: big out. What a play by number nine. Playmakers gotta
Speaker 1: make plays. Isaiah Simmons definitely checks that box. Even though
Speaker 1: he got behind on that play, he still made the play.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about that and more. It is the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert our
Speaker 1: special guest Devon Kannard might be your starting edge opposite
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden. We'll see Paul kelbc, Ron Wolfley and I
Speaker 1: really should have stayed at the end that Divinkard is
Speaker 1: coming from my gig. Forget about you, He's coming from
Speaker 1: my gig. He it was really nice, hahaha. Paul. By
Speaker 1: the way, what do you make of the fact that
Speaker 1: he said, I've started my entire career except when I
Speaker 1: got to Arizona. He started as a rookie. You know,
Speaker 1: he's going into age thirty one his season. You know
Speaker 1: it's going to be his ninth season in the league.
Speaker 1: I mean, how equipped is he to potentially be a
Speaker 1: starter on the edge Marcus Golden, Well, you know, in
Speaker 1: this defense, I think he does have the possibility of
Speaker 1: emerging as an option coming off the edge, Paul. And
Speaker 1: the reason why I say that is because this is
Speaker 1: not going to be a skill dominated pass rush by
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. This is going to be a scheme
Speaker 1: dominated pass rush by the Arizona Cardinals. And when I
Speaker 1: say that, when you say scheme, you're talking about there's
Speaker 1: gonna be five guys, maybe six, maybe even more. But
Speaker 1: there's gonna be five guys on most third and obvious
Speaker 1: pass plays that are going to be involved in rushing
Speaker 1: the passer. You're just not going to know which five
Speaker 1: are coming, Paul. That's the whole thing. You don't know.
Speaker 1: Devon Kennard has the ability to be a player that
Speaker 1: I think would actually excel in scheme sacks very much
Speaker 1: like Dennis Gardak was. You know, he was a starter
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, most recently for the Lions.
Speaker 1: He had seven sacks in each season, nine tackles for
Speaker 1: loss in each season, and in one year he had
Speaker 1: fourteen quarterback hits, the other year at fifteen quarterback hits.
Speaker 1: And I'm guessing the Lions didn't have a lot of
Speaker 1: leads and they weren't pinning their ears back and able
Speaker 1: to go after the quarterback with abandoned So those at
Speaker 1: least are the numbers. But to your point, he also
Speaker 1: mentioned that, yes, it is a scheme where Vance Joseph
Speaker 1: can bring pressure from virtually anywhere. He mentioned how Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons maybe from the safety spot dot dot dot. We'll
Speaker 1: see about that. And then you're gonna see Zaven Collins
Speaker 1: a middle linebacker. Obviously, he spoke a little bit about that,
Speaker 1: but so did Advanced Joseph, the defensive quarter coordinator this week,
Speaker 1: and here's what he said about those two young insidebackers.
Speaker 1: It's their time. You know. Isaiah is going into his
Speaker 1: third years. Avan's going into a second year to first
Speaker 1: round picks to have to help us, you know, and
Speaker 1: it's heading that way. You know, I've been proud of
Speaker 1: his Zaven, how much time he's put in. Isaiah has
Speaker 1: always been a good worker. You know. It's it's the
Speaker 1: next step for him. Obviously watching him last year, he
Speaker 1: made plays, you know, but now he has to make
Speaker 1: consistent plays and not give what plays. You know. That's
Speaker 1: that's this next challenge, and for Zavan to stand healthy
Speaker 1: and keep learning. But both guys are physically gifted, you know,
Speaker 1: so we have to get those guys ready to play
Speaker 1: because we need him. Boy, Paul, that is amazing right
Speaker 1: there listening to Vans Joseph. And the reason why I
Speaker 1: say that, Paul, is because it's still the mental game,
Speaker 1: is it not, Paul. It's still about these two young
Speaker 1: bucks developing mentally. It's interesting because I talked to Nick
Speaker 1: Vigil today, of course, the inside linebacker the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: signed and free agency. They brought him in to basically
Speaker 1: replace Jordan Hicks. Nick Vigil was telling me this defense,
Speaker 1: Polly is more difficult than most. He thought that was
Speaker 1: a good thing. It's more difficult and more complex, more
Speaker 1: involved than most. But he thought that was a good
Speaker 1: thing right there. And that's why it's so important when
Speaker 1: we talk about the development of Zaven Collins and Isaiah
Speaker 1: simmons Man. You're talking about the development between the years
Speaker 1: and you're talking about a linebacker who just played for
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer. Yes, right, yes, think about that. So and well,
Speaker 1: if we know this from Hassan Reddick, the failed experiment
Speaker 1: that was insidebacker. Now, look, he was making a transition
Speaker 1: fm edge and insidebacker. But for all the athleticism that
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick had. Yeah, if you're a half step slow
Speaker 1: in reacting, or you take a half step the wrong way,
Speaker 1: a false step, yes you're done. Yep. And so that
Speaker 1: is going to be the big key for Zavin Collins,
Speaker 1: not to mension. He's going to be responsible not just
Speaker 1: for calling the defense and communicating, but all the checks
Speaker 1: you make in response to what the offense is getting into.
Speaker 1: I remember vividly last year Vans Joseph talking about how
Speaker 1: there were times where there would be three different checks
Speaker 1: from the time that the Cardinal's defense would break the huddle. Right, yes, Paul.
Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons why I know you
Speaker 1: remember our conversations about this, one of the reasons why
Speaker 1: I really wasn't looking at Zaven Collins as a guy
Speaker 1: that was going to go out and become Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year because he was in a maybe the toughest
Speaker 1: position you could possibly be. Mike linebacker, the green dot. Hey,
Speaker 1: come on in from college and suddenly you're going to
Speaker 1: be able to master the NFL game, make all the
Speaker 1: checks and all the calls, of course, and the checks
Speaker 1: to the checks. Paul. It is a monumental a monumental
Speaker 1: hill for a young rookie to climb. But Paul, I
Speaker 1: want to say this quickly. I do believe the efficiency
Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinal's defense. Just how good the defense
Speaker 1: is going to be hinges on the development of Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons and Zaven Collins, those two guys. Paul, Absolutely, it
Speaker 1: is a big preseason. Normally you completely dismiss the preseason.
Speaker 1: And I know teams are gonna be running vanilla schemes.
Speaker 1: I get it in August, but but he's got to
Speaker 1: at least gain some confidence in August and then go
Speaker 1: from there. Here's boom er bust. Yeah, good or bad,
Speaker 1: great or terrible. They're gonna be the football folk room
Speaker 1: of that defense in twenty twenty two. He's gonna learn,
Speaker 1: especially Zamon Collins is gonna learn on the job in
Speaker 1: September and October. There's no doubt about it. And we'll
Speaker 1: see because as Vanculists have also told the media, look,
Speaker 1: I can make the defense simplified, and I have, but
Speaker 1: it can't be so simple that it's not challenging an
Speaker 1: NFL offense. Yea, So it's gotta be that mix. Hey.
Speaker 1: Cardinal season tickets available now at easy Cardinals Dot com
Speaker 1: slash season for all the information that's easy Cardinals dot
Speaker 1: com slash season. All right, you know what, there's some
Speaker 1: good news that we're gonna get to. And then Rondale Moore,
Speaker 1: will we see more from the young receiver that's next
Speaker 1: in the big red rage that can throw Murray in trouble,
Speaker 1: spins out of there to his left, being chased by
Speaker 1: two vikings, and launches a deep white open near side
Speaker 1: of the parties Rondelle thirty twenty fifteen ten five clipped down.
Speaker 1: The next step for him is talking to more downfield,
Speaker 1: adding to his route tree. You know it's coming in
Speaker 1: as a rookie. You know, he got de Hobb, he
Speaker 1: got Christen Kirk, you got aj Green. So he's kind
Speaker 1: of lost in that, you know, tim about being a
Speaker 1: rookie and everything like that. But that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that men run to have this cuff about growing
Speaker 1: his routes tree. Man able to put him outside a
Speaker 1: little bit more. He can run some little routes on
Speaker 1: the outside of his his his routes tree would grow
Speaker 1: leaps and bounds. All right, shore hands who looks forward
Speaker 1: just seeing that route tree on display. Rundale Moore, that
Speaker 1: was Sean Jefferson early in the off season, of fact,
Speaker 1: right after Super Bowl fifty six where his son Van
Speaker 1: Jefferson got a ring. And then we start talking about
Speaker 1: his receiver room and just asking about Rondale Moore coming
Speaker 1: off his rookie season. And there's the car most receivers coach,
Speaker 1: Wolf talking about how they can better utilize and get
Speaker 1: more out of Rondale More. And you know what you
Speaker 1: talk about, like, for example, what did the Cardinals lose
Speaker 1: in a weapon on offense and a Chase Edmonds? And
Speaker 1: the first thing I think of is that Chase Edmonds
Speaker 1: would always make the first guy miss, And that's a
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore. If you can just get that ball to
Speaker 1: him in space and hopefully get it to him down field,
Speaker 1: you realize how lethal he can be just yards after catch. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: they really used him an awful lot in a horizontal
Speaker 1: fashion last year, and this was something that I was
Speaker 1: really interested in seeing Rondale Moore develop his vertical game
Speaker 1: and his vertical routes. And Polly, the coaching staff, they're
Speaker 1: all over that they know exactly what it is that
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore needs to do to take that next step.
Speaker 1: As a receiver and those are vertical routes and I
Speaker 1: think this offseason is really going to help him. And
Speaker 1: that's what coach of Jefferson was talking about. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then coach Kingsbury this week was asked a similar question
Speaker 1: because he met the media, rondelle More met the media,
Speaker 1: and here's what Cliff Kingsbury, the play caller, had to say.
Speaker 1: We utilize him in different ways than move this year.
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of got it to him in
Speaker 1: space and did some things and used him on some checkdowns.
Speaker 1: But he's a dynamic route runner and I think that's
Speaker 1: what people are going to see. He's really good getting
Speaker 1: out of his cuts, good at the top of routes,
Speaker 1: and so I think people are going to see a
Speaker 1: different side of him, and I think you'll see a
Speaker 1: different rondelle More in another way as well. He shared
Speaker 1: with the media that he's done a lot of pilates
Speaker 1: that he realized Kie'd say his way all over the ballda.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, look, he realized, Okay, he's a very
Speaker 1: serious guy, you know you're talking to and he takes
Speaker 1: his craft seriously. And he said his big takeaway from
Speaker 1: his rookie year was. You know what's most valuable more
Speaker 1: than anything is just availability. And obviously he missed a
Speaker 1: number of games because of injury. So he's been doing
Speaker 1: anything in every thing he can to increase his flexible
Speaker 1: oldie and just getting shape so we can handle the
Speaker 1: riggers of an NFL season. Yeah, you know what, I'll
Speaker 1: buy that from a wide receiver, Paul. But don't tell
Speaker 1: me if you're an offensive lineman, you're laying all over
Speaker 1: the ball, all right, Please don't tell me that, Paul.
Speaker 1: Let me just say this quickly. By the way, don't
Speaker 1: make me get Lorenzo Alexander in here, So just stop it, Paul.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing right now that I really get
Speaker 1: jacked up on with. Think about this eleven person at
Speaker 1: one back, one tight end and three wide receivers. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about who the back is, Paul. Don't worry about
Speaker 1: who the tight end is going to be. In this
Speaker 1: eleven personelsa that I'm talking about. Think of DeAndre Hopkins,
Speaker 1: Markis Brown, and Rondel Moore who are team's not going
Speaker 1: to pay an awful lot of attention to. And that
Speaker 1: probably Rondel Moore, Paul, he has this could be an
Speaker 1: opportunity for Rondel Moore to have a Steve Breston like
Speaker 1: breakout season. And of course you're referring to when the
Speaker 1: Cardinals had three thousand yard receivers and Larry Fitzgerldin an
Speaker 1: Kuon Bolden and a young Steve Breston. You're right. And
Speaker 1: then okay, well, you know it's funny because Cliff Kingsbury,
Speaker 1: you know his sense of humor. You know it well
Speaker 1: wolf from doing the Coaches Show. He deadpanned to the media.
Speaker 1: He said, you know what, when DeAndre Hopkins gets back
Speaker 1: in week seven, I've been telling my assistance to have
Speaker 1: my back when all these weapons are cussing me out
Speaker 1: because they're not getting enough targets between de hop and
Speaker 1: Ron Dale and Hollywood and and Zach Hertz and AJ
Speaker 1: Green and James Conner, right, etc. So, but Rondell Moore
Speaker 1: was asked, Okay, you know what two twenty two and
Speaker 1: maybe hopefully I didn't give away the answer here, but
Speaker 1: he was asked what has he been preparing for in particular? Really,
Speaker 1: just been working on myself, getting better. We're out running playbook,
Speaker 1: learning more about my teammates. I'm not here to replace
Speaker 1: anyone and be like anybody, just be myself, you know,
Speaker 1: and just go out there and play as hard as
Speaker 1: I can and continue to build relationships. And look when
Speaker 1: you hear Sean Jefferson and he said it, and you
Speaker 1: heard a little bit of it there, but he doubled
Speaker 1: down later that interview he said, no, Rondale Moore is
Speaker 1: more than capable of being a downfield playmaker, a downfield receiver.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that Wolfer? You think he still has
Speaker 1: to prove that. Hey, listen, he's got to know. He's
Speaker 1: got to prove it, Paul. There's no denying that he's
Speaker 1: got to prove it. But I believe this guy once
Speaker 1: he gets the coaching that he needs, especially from jeff
Speaker 1: Sean Jefferson a guy that said that's what he did
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This guy is an excellent coach. It's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he got promoted. Sean Jefferson
Speaker 1: is going to be pouring into Rondale Moore. Rondale Moore
Speaker 1: has the ability, Paul to run deep routes like anybody else. Hey,
Speaker 1: look at Marcus Brown. Isn't big Hollywood's not some giant
Speaker 1: receiver running down He's not yet he can run deep
Speaker 1: routes as well as anybody in the league. Rondale Moore
Speaker 1: Man has an awesome opportunity in front of him to
Speaker 1: really really grow this season. I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: how he spots. It was also interesting to hear Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury tell the media that Hollywood Brownie in particular, brings
Speaker 1: that burners speed to the outside that can really open
Speaker 1: some things up. Oh yeah, and look for everything that
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk was. He was fast, he wasn't a sub
Speaker 1: four three guy like a Hollywood Brown, but he also
Speaker 1: was much better in the slot than outside. Correct, Yes,
Speaker 1: PAULI he was. And again I'm not Christian Kirk so
Speaker 1: happy for him and the contract that he got in
Speaker 1: the fact that he's gonna get the opportunity to be
Speaker 1: the guy. I respect him greatly, both as a man
Speaker 1: and as a player on the field. But Hollywood Brown's
Speaker 1: running a serious sub maybe a sub four four. And
Speaker 1: when I say seriously, maybe it's more like four three
Speaker 1: one four two nine somewhere in there, Paul, that's what
Speaker 1: he's running. He runs as fast as he needs to
Speaker 1: run to get the ball. And now you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna match that up with one of the best deep
Speaker 1: ball throwers according to a number of metrics, one of
Speaker 1: the best deep ball throwers in the league in Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: By the way, you spoke today, you interviewed Nick vigil
Speaker 1: I heard some of your Mike BERKOVICI interview that recently
Speaker 1: promoted Cardinals offensive assistant former issue quarterback, and it was interesting.
Speaker 1: It was you know, he kept it pretty close to
Speaker 1: the vest, right, but he did at one point say
Speaker 1: that running the ball is the key to winning, which
Speaker 1: just sort of reinforces maybe the takeaway this offseason and
Speaker 1: what's coming at least the first six games. Yes, Polly,
Speaker 1: yes you didn't think up on that one. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: did kind of all right. By the way, as we
Speaker 1: wrap up this edition of A Big Red Rage, a
Speaker 1: reminder single game tickets available now easy Cardinals dot com
Speaker 1: slash tickets to secure your seats today. How about a
Speaker 1: retirement shout out times too? How about Frank Gore, who
Speaker 1: played the most games among all running backs in NFL history. Wolf,
Speaker 1: He's called it a career after two hundred forty one
Speaker 1: games Frank Gore in the NFL. Think about that all right?
Speaker 1: Now for two pins, I want you to square your job,
Speaker 1: throw your shoulders back and stand at the ready for
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. Ready one, two, thank you, and you know what,
Speaker 1: multiply that by two. Because about Ryan Fitzpatrick fitz Magic,
Speaker 1: the guy from Gilbert, Gilbert Highland High School who once
Speaker 1: upon a time was a young Cardinals fan churing on
Speaker 1: the Cardiac Cards in nineteen ninety eight and his favorite
Speaker 1: player was KiB Jake Plummer, a guy who started games
Speaker 1: for nine different NFL teams, made over eighty million dollars
Speaker 1: in his career. He went seven. Ryan, Well, if here
Speaker 1: you go, he won seventeen seasons and never played in
Speaker 1: a postseason game. So there you go. At age thirty nine,
