<v Speaker 4>Ley and wolf We're calling this the let the rook

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Cook Edition. Think of how many times we can use

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 4>that this year.

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 4>We started with Clayton Tune in the preseason. That's where

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 4>it really began. It was pretty good right there. And

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 4>the Paris Johnson junior. Oh, just your starting right tackle

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 4>from day one, number six pick.

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Overall, doing a very nice job this year. I would say.

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 4>RB one right now is an undrafted guy, Mari de Mercado,

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 4>Michael Wilson, a whole playmaker, right, we had him a

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks ago. Up and down, Key Trell Clark

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 4>has started, Dante Stills has started, and now coming off

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 4>his debut and making Cardinals history. How about it a

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 4>round rookie everyone. Garrett Williams, thank you. This is a

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 4>good time to ask how you're feeling. But it's really

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 4>fitting considering you just played your first NFL game. How

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 4>did you feel Monday morning? I mean, how sore were

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 4>you after your first real, full speed, full contact, real

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 4>football action in almost a year?

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Really sore?

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 6>You know, and it was expected though so when I

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 6>woke up everything here, but it was kind of good though,

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 6>because I kind of missed being sore in a way,

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 6>you know, so it was cool, but definitely had to

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 6>get in the training room early Monday.

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Garrett talk a little bit about the week leading up

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 1>to it. Take us back to that right there. What

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>was that like? When did you know for sure you

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 1>were going to play? When did you know how much

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you were going to play? When did you know?

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 6>I knew pretty early in the week that I was

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 6>gonna be playing a lot, So for me, then just

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 6>the regular preparation started. It wasn't really much of a

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 6>thought about, oh my god, it's my first NFL game.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 6>It was I got a football game. I need to

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 6>play the you know, so my preparation time of just

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 6>went back to regular.

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I did a good job even when

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 6>I wasn't playing, of always staying prepared and kind of

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 6>know what's going on a week by week. So nothing

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 6>really changed when I got put in the put in

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 6>the play, you know, so a good start, you know.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Can I can I intrude and ask who told you?

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>And where did he tell you?

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I mean the coach, you know, the coaches

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 6>they kind of just tell you, like hey, like.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Told you, or was not told me.

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 6>To tell you, like, you know, hey, get ready to

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 6>play Nicola this week. And then you just go out

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 6>throughout practice and obviously he was like you got to

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 6>practice good, So you know, I did my part in practice,

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 6>and then yeah, just playing the game on Sunday.

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It had to be a special moment though. Still, yeah,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>when you knew you were gonna play.

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean that's why they brought me here.

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So I the whole time, even when I wasn't playing,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 6>was just kind of thought of when my when my

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 6>numbers called, be ready to go, and just you know,

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.119
<v Speaker 6>try to help, you know, help the team win, helped

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 6>team win games, and so what I did last week

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 6>didn't help us win the games. So honestly, it's really

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 6>just not you know, it's not enough. So just gotta

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 6>do more.

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>You've done a lot, though, buddy, no doubt, a lot,

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>no doubt.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 4>Garrett Williams again, our guests here. We are alive from

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 4>Trophy and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between Price

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 4>and Dobson. How much advice did you get from the vets?

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 4>Did you seek it out? Did they come find you?

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 4>How did that work.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, they come find me. You know, they just kept

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 6>telling me just to play my game. Say, you know,

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 6>I've been practicing with them for about two three weeks

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 6>before the game, so they kind of got to see

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 6>a little bit what I could do. So they just

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 6>kept telling me just to be myself and just do

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 6>what I do best and not overthink it. In that

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 6>end of the day, football's football, which is very true.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 4>So earlier today Buddha Baker met the media. Here's what

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 4>he had to say about the rookie Garrett Williams.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 7>Great young rookie, a guy who wants to understand each

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 7>and every the ins and outs of the nickel position.

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 7>But also you know all DB's and he's a guy

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 7>we can you know, put anywhere on the field. You know,

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 7>that's definitely special being a rookie and kind of understanding football.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 7>He's very smart, he asked questions if he doesn't really know,

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 7>he's a student of the game. So Garrett is going

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 7>to be special player for the Arizona Cardins.

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Wow, some pretty good words from Buddha Baker. I mean,

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 4>and you know we've talked to Buddha on this very show.

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 4>You know, how long does it take a player to

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 4>know a player.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>You know Wolf? Right?

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Wolf play ten years in the league.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 4>If they brought a fullback in on training camp, Wolf,

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 4>how long would it take you to figure out that

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 4>this guy can play or he camp?

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a little bit longer than it would a mic linebacker.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd know immediately ball with a mic linebacker.

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Got Jim, how much nickel had you played before this

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 4>past Sunday in a game? How much nickel in a game?

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 4>In a game had you played?

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 5>None?

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Zero? Zero? I mean, boyd, what what kind of adjustments

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>that for you to go out in that scheme and

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>line up inside and play? What kind of adjustment was that? Yeah?

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 6>I think it's just it just goes back to really

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 6>emphasizing the importance of practice and really like going into

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 6>each practice finding ways to get better, because obviously, when

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 6>you're learning a new position kind of on the fly,

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 6>coming off injury, then the expectations that not only come

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 6>in but play to this that standard. You know, you

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 6>got to take those reps seriously and you got to

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 6>learn from your mistakes. So I'd be lying to say

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 6>that those weeks of practice, I didn't make a billion mistakes,

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 6>but the coaches and the and my.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 5>Team that's real patient with me.

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and they still are because you know, I'm making

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 6>mistakes daily in practice, just trying to keep building from it.

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 6>But they they're helping me out a lot. So I

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 6>feel I'm getting better each and every day at it.

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>So I have to ask you this, do you have

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a preference. Do you like playing inside or do you

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 1>want to be outside?

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I don't really care when you've been when

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 6>you've been away for the game so long, you just

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 6>kind of just want to play football, you know, so

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 6>it doesn't make a difference. I just want to try

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 6>to make plays for gospel where I'm at.

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>That's really a good answer. By just let line me

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>up played as long as I'm getting reps, let me go.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, not everyone can play inside. That that

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 4>whole true, that whole slot corner. That's just a special

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 4>skill set. In fact, you know, we were reminded of

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.559
<v Speaker 4>that by Jonathan Gannon himself, and he was asked about

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Garrett Williams playing inside, and here's what the head coach

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 4>had to say.

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 8>You got to be able to think fast and then

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 8>you know his skill set, the skill set of a

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 8>nickel there's a lot going on. You gotta be able

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 8>to cover, you gotta tackle, you got play z own,

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 8>you got blitz a little bit, and you're in the box.

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 8>You're in space. So it's a unique position. It's a

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 8>starting position. To me, one of the most you know,

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 8>important on the defense. He got himself ready to play,

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 8>stepped in there and played well.

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, think about it. You could be an outside

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 4>corner and you're on an island. It's just minoy minor

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 4>you against the receiver. Or you can be an inside

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 4>slot corner and to me, at least watching from the

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 4>sideline Paully pencilneck over were, I'm like, it's just complete

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 4>chaos because you were in the box. Yeah, what was

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 4>tell us about that experience? Just being inside like that.

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 6>It's crazy. It's a lot of people moving around fast.

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 6>Especially it's a big difference from college to just the

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 6>speed of the lineman and tight ends and quarterbacks, running

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 6>backs to everybody. So things are moving fast, but you

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 6>gotta adjust with it, you know. So definitely a big

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 6>adjustment because when you're at a corner, your vision is

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 6>just so different than when you're playing this slot. When

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 6>you're a corner, you can kind of see everything around you.

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 6>When you're in the slot, you kind of got to

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 6>search a little bit more, you know, to see the

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 6>full formation and things like that.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 4>What gave you the most anxiety? Now that the game's over, right,

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 4>you're thinking, Okay, it's my first game. We're on the road,

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 4>it's Seattle. I can't hear there's Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker,

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm playing a new position. Wait a minute, how's the knee?

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, what gave you the most anxiety maybe or

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 4>trepidation going into the game.

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.199
<v Speaker 6>Uh, To be honest, I wasn't really nervous going into

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 6>the game. Like I just kept on talking about me preparing,

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 6>not even just when I got to Arizona, but just

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 6>from a rehab stamp with just rehabbing, with the thought

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 6>of when I come back, I want to be able

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 6>to pick up from where I left off before I

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 6>got hurt.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 5>So when I finally got the.

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 6>Opportunity, it was really just not like, Okay, we're here now,

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 6>you know, what are we gonna do about it? And

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 6>so that's just kind of what it was for me

0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 6>in my thought process.

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>You know what I I saw you stick your face

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>into the fan A couple of times, right, And you know,

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>for a nickel corner that is an important thing. You

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 1>have to be able to do that. How what kind

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>of tackler do you consider yourself to be.

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I'm just somebody who's who's not scared,

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 6>you know. I feel like that's something I developed a

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 6>lot in college and my coach is very big on that.

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.719
<v Speaker 5>In college. Just if you're gonna play corner for me,

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 5>you have to tackle, is that right?

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 6>So for me, especially as a young guy in college,

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 6>like I was, Okay, I gotta tackle.

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 5>I gotta tackle.

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 6>So now just being in the lead, it's kind of

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 6>the same thought process. Now, especially a nickel, the defense

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.319
<v Speaker 6>kind of depends on you kind of being an extra linebacker.

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 6>So I got to be able to make tackles. I

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 6>gotta be able to make tackles of open space.

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 5>You gotta be able to cover. I gotta be able

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 5>to do everything that the defense requires.

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean four years at Syracuse. By the way, your

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 4>alma maters on TV down here at Trophy and Chandler.

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 4>We probably shouldn't mention the score right now against Virginia Tech.

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 4>Is that is that what we're seeing down there? Your

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 4>eyes are better than mine.

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's looking a little tough right now, we're all

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 6>get together.

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 4>Uh so in twenty eight starts right. I mean, you

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 4>were three times All ACC when he was in college,

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 4>led the ACC two years in a row, and passes defense.

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Here's what I want to know about. You had to

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 4>pick six of Trevor Lawrence. Tell us about that.

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 6>Uh, that was my first first career interception in college.

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 6>And it was cool because at that time, Clemson was

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 6>the number one team in the country. Obviously Trevor Lawrenceton

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 6>College was like, oh, yeah, the guy. And I was

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 6>like eighteen or nineteen going into it, and so for me,

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 6>it was just my whole plan when I went to

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 6>Syracuse was just like, if I want to make it

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 6>to the NFL. When we played the Clemsons the Florida States,

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 6>those bigger programs, like, I have to play my best games.

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.719
<v Speaker 6>So that was like my first real test and it

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 6>kind of just went back to preparing for those type

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 6>of moments and so went into the game and I

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 6>actually played probably one of the better games in my

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 6>college career that game, and I think that's kind of

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 6>what got my name started to flow around in the draft.

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 6>Buzz and things like that, and so yeah, it's just

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 6>it's crazy, Girt.

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>There were scouts that thought, some scouts believed you were

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 1>a first round pick. Do you ever think about that?

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you allow yourself to go back and look at

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that and wonder about where you would have been picked?

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever think about that?

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 6>Honestly, I thought about the like pre draft, when you know,

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 6>when everything's circulating around. But ever since I got drafted,

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you know, I'm good with where I'm at.

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 6>I kind of feel like thinking about the teams where

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 6>I thought I was gonna go to, I feel like

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 6>I ended up in the perfect situation with the right

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 6>type of coaches that fit not only me just as

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 6>a player, but as a person. And one thing I've

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 6>realized from some of my friends and former teammates is

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.719
<v Speaker 6>that like fit is everything in the NFL. Yes, and

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I've had a place where I fit

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 6>and really will.

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 4>What have you learned from the Buddha Bakers and Jalen

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 4>Thompson so far? I mean, is there just one big takeaway?

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.199
<v Speaker 5>You have mindset, and now your mindset's everything.

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 6>You know, you have to go into practice with the

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 6>same intensity as you go into games, and you can't

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 6>just go into games just expecting to play good. Like

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 6>the work has to be put in from Monday leading

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 6>into Sunday. So they just keep on preing the lift,

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.959
<v Speaker 6>things about details and things like that, and honestly, I'm

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 6>really really grateful to be able to be around guys

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 6>like that.

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 4>Well, if everything works out, Cardinals will have a one

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 4>hundred percent healthy defensive backfield against Baltimore on Sunday, So

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 4>that is a double ding, no doubt about it. By

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 4>the way, he did something on Sunday that hasn't been

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 4>done since a Hall of Famer did it for the Cardinals,

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 4>a former teammateer Ron wolf Lees. We'll hear that when

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 4>we come back. A reminder you can watch Cardinals game

<v Speaker 3>yard line.

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 4>It's intercepted by the.

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Rookie Williams on of Syracuse his first gate after missing

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 3>the last twelve months doing injury suffered at Syracuse in

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 3>the middle of the season. He makes a huge play

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 3>picking off Gino Smith in the red zone.

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 4>About that in the one yard line. It was third

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 4>and four to sixteen. Seattle's driving all they're threatening. Wait

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 4>a minute, no they're not, because Garrett Williams picked off

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.959
<v Speaker 4>Geno Smith right at the goal line. And is he

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 4>He's our very special guest here on the Big Red Rage.

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Garrett Williams. All presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert and

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 4>we are live from Trophy and Chandler located on Queen

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 4>Creek Road between Price and Dobson. Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley,

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 4>and Garrett, is you've been able to tell so far?

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 4>I like to teach the game of football to Ron Wolfley, Okay,

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 4>And what I told Wolf after the game was I

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 4>was really impressed not only by the pick, but the

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 4>fact you played the ball. You turned around, got your eyes.

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 4>Instead of just running with your back to the line

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 4>of scrimmage, you're back to the quarterback. So just take

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 4>us through that play. You heard the play by play

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 4>there from Dave passion another Syracuse guy. But you take

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 4>us with how that sort of developed to your memory.

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 6>Uh yeah, So, I mean when they lined up in

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.719
<v Speaker 6>the formation, it was something that we've seen a lot

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 6>of film going into the week, and actually on the field,

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.960
<v Speaker 6>I'd made like the wrong adjustment call, and then our

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 6>safety Dre he like corrected me on the field, and

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 6>then I just played what I the technique I've been

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 6>taught and it was just crazy because the same exact

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 6>play I messed up in practice during the week, So

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 6>it was it was kind of cool to kind of

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 6>like fix your mistake in a better you know, in

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 6>a better situation.

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 5>But just trying to play the ball.

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 6>That's really been my biggest emphasis coming back is just

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 6>getting the ball, attacking the ball every time and trying

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 6>to make the play because that's what's going to ultimately

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 6>help us win games, you know, So every time I

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 6>see the ball, I'm just gonna try to attack and

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 6>make the play. I really credit my college coach for that,

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 6>because I used to be comfortable with like passport because

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 6>he just kept telling me interceptions, interceptions, interceptions, And now

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 6>that's all I'm about, trying to get the ball.

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>So what coverage were you in? Might I ask? Yeah?

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 5>We were in like a form of cover three okay, yeah,

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 5>which was zone? Yeah, yeah, we were playing his zone.

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 5>And so then I was plably a tenney called hangbus.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Right, and they attacked the flat and actually ran up

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>on a wheel route. Yeah did you know that? Was

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>this something that you had scouted all week? Is this

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about?

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 5>So?

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so the the out route part, yeah, I knew

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 6>that was coming. Uh, the wheel part, you don't. You

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 6>can't really you don't know. You just kind of to

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 6>feel it because it kind of terms of a scrambled drill.

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 6>So after that, you know, receivers kind of start running

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 6>all over the place. So when I got out there,

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 6>I peeked over my shoulder and seen him turn up

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 6>the field, and so I just kind of start trying to.

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Get so you knew what he was doing?

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Like I knew where he was going.

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 6>I knew he's behind me, But I also knew that

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 6>we're in the red zone, so he didn't really have

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 6>much else, you know, anywhere else to go. So it

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 6>kind of made me more comfortable to look at the

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 6>quarterback a little bit longer and play the ball.

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just great, just a great play by you to

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>actually look back and look for the ball. That is

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>well done, Guard.

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you what though, it's more evidence to the

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 4>football IQ on this defense, Wolf, is it not? Remember

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 4>what Kaiser White told us see his game ceiling pick

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 4>a Dak press gotten in the end zone against Dallas.

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 4>He said he had messed up that same assignment, that

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 4>same coverage in practice, but then nailed it in the game.

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 4>So you're seeing this evolution of the Cardinals defense. All right, now,

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 4>you heard the call right there, right. I know you've

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 4>seen your pick on TV, You've seen the video. Maybe

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 4>you heard the TV call, but have you heard it

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 4>in Spanish? Because here is Luis ser nandsh on Cardinals

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Spanish radio.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>GI knows me.

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>He Gotrac Williams, Liz Present, Welcome to the NFL.

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>M Well, if I joked earlier this week, he doesn't

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 4>call us muchacho Louis because that means young man, so

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 4>he reserves that for the rookies like Garrett Williams. So, man,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 4>that's really good stuff. Just the energy on Wes. Well,

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 4>you know I interviewed you after the game and then

0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 4>we left it. You were going to go to your locker,

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 4>what was your phone? Like, well, how much did your

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 4>phone blow up?

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 6>Oh it was like freezing and stuff like that.

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.879
<v Speaker 6>So it was really cool, you know cause kind of

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.640
<v Speaker 6>like when it happened, I kind of knew. I was like, oh, yeah, like,

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 6>here're gonna be blowing my phone up. And then after

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 6>the game when I saw it, I was like, oh

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 6>that a lot more people cared about that than I thought,

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.880
<v Speaker 6>you know. So it's always cool to see things like that,

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, to make my friends and family proud back home.

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So you know how rare that is, right, I mean,

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.439
<v Speaker 1>you're a rookie and you play your first game and

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.959
<v Speaker 1>you come up with a pick. I mean that is

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 1>that is a big time play, right there, is it?

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 8>Not?

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 1>PAULI?

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.120
<v Speaker 4>So the last time that happened nineteen ninety one. Maybe

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 4>you've heard of the player who actually had a pick

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 4>in his NFL debut, because that's the last time it

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 4>happened for the Arizona Cardinals. His name a Nias Williams. Hello,

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 4>and you'll find the name and his bust in the

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 4>Hall of Fame, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Former

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 4>teammate Ron Willfully, By the way, he had a pick

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 4>in his second career game as well.

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>So.

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 4>No pressure pressure on you, okay, but yeah he had

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 4>and by the way, he had six his rookie year

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 4>en route to the Hall of Fame.

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's amazing about that too, Garrett. We've heard

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>whispers about you as well, and and honestly from Monty

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 1>assin Ford, who drafted you in the third round, even

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>though you had a serious acl there's been an expectation

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 1>that when this guy gets the opportunity, he's going to

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>make plays. That's got to feel really, really good because

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 1>I can remember a Nias Williams when he was a rookie,

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'll never forget in training camp we were watching

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the Nias Williams and we were watching him in one

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>on ones and you could tell immediately this kid is good.

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 1>This kid is going to play. And you know what,

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the exact same thing happened to him his first game

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>ever as a corner of the National Football League. Boom,

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>he comes down with a pick. Man, that's goin to

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 1>make you feel good.

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's crazy, onion.

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's it's crazy to even be mentioned in the

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:03.360
<v Speaker 6>same conversations people like that.

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 5>I'm just really humbling.

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 1>How did it go mentally for you? Mental errors in

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.719
<v Speaker 1>regard to that, Did you commit any mental errors or

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>did the coach leave you alone on Monday?

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Like from the game in general? Oh no, I

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 5>made a bunch of mistakes in the game.

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 6>So it wasn't even it wasn't even like, it wasn't

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 6>even like, you know, obviously they were congratulating me on

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.399
<v Speaker 6>the pick, but they were like, hey, you're a line wrong, like,

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 6>and that's how I wanted to be, you know, because

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 6>even personally after the game, like like it was cool,

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 6>but I was pissed because I knew, like, you know,

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 6>I knew that I'd made some mistakes and I also

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 6>knew that, like, we didn't win. So it's like, as

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 6>cool as the moment was, you can't you don't really

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 6>enjoy it as much if your told team not winning,

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 6>which is ultimately the goal anyways, you know.

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's one of the reasons why you're going to

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.359
<v Speaker 1>be good, Garrett, because you care.

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 4>Buddy, So we host Coach Gannon's TV show. He doesn't

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 4>strike me as a guy who's gonna let much slide.

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 4>Let's put it that way. Okay, now we'll mention now

0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 4>going into your final year at Syracuse, and it was

0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 4>a seven games before he got injured. You were thought

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 4>to be maybe a first round pick. Now after the

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 4>knee injury. Whenever we were last April, how uncertain were

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:12.120
<v Speaker 4>you going in as to where you would ultimately be drafted.

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 6>I mean I had, like, I had an idea that

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.199
<v Speaker 6>a few teams thought really highly of me, Arizona one

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:21.439
<v Speaker 6>of them. But at the end of the day, you

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.399
<v Speaker 6>really just didn't know. Because this corner class in this

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 6>year's draft was very deep, and so I knew how

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 6>I thought I stacked up just naturally, but I knew

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 6>with injuries there's gonna be that natural slide. And my

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 6>agent he said it lives like the day before draft,

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 6>and so I'm asking him, like, what are you thinking?

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 6>So you know their job is to be honest. He

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 6>was like, you know, the earliest, maybe late second. He's like,

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:45.360
<v Speaker 6>worst case scenario fifth and.

0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 5>I lost my mind. And and then he.

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 6>Was like reassuring me that that wasn't probably the case,

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 6>but he was like, I gotta tell you all possibilities.

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 6>So when draft night came, I didn't know. I knew

0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 6>i'd probably be second day. And so then when the

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 6>team I thought I was gonna pick me, he didn't

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 6>pick me. I started panicking a little bit, you know.

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 6>And then right as I started panicking, that's my phone

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 6>right from Arizona. So it all kind of worked out.

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 4>That is a great segue because guess what we have

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 4>audio of the actual call when Garrett Williams got that

0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 4>call from the Cardinals war room and he was drafted

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:19.760

0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.080
<v Speaker 9>We're excited that we're going to get you in here.

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 9>You remember you remember that meeting we had we did

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:05.439
<v Speaker 9>get to combine. Man, You're made of the stuff that

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 9>we're working for.

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 10>But now with the seventy second pick in the twoenty

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 10>twenty three NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Garrett Williams,

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 10>defensive back safe.

0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 4>What's it like to relive that moment? How emotional was that?

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 4>You sounded awful emotional on that call?

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, no, I was about to cry and then

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 6>like everybody started yelling, and so I had to like

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 6>tell them to be quiet. But now that and that

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 6>that night probably not even probably his best best moment

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 6>of my life, for sure. I'm just thinking about the

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 6>sacrifices and all the things I did, just even put

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 6>myself in that position, knowing that it wasn't handed to

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 6>me at all. You know, I had to really go

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 6>out and make this happen for myself. Obviously with the

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 6>help of a lot of people along the way, but

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:01.160
<v Speaker 6>definitely especially one with a lot of friends and family there.

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's great, great moment for sure, and.

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>It's really amazing. No, no, it really is. I remember

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the phone call I got. It was from Larry Wilson.

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Larry Wilson, Hall of Famer, legendary Larry Wilson. He was

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the general manager at the time for the Arizona Cardinals.

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't believe it was him. I was like,

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:24.879
<v Speaker 1>knock it off. I thought it was one of my friends. Yeah,

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know they it got sideways there early

0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty much wraps up my career as well. I probably

0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 1>have got sideways early right there. But it is a

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 1>special moment, There's no doubt about it. You'll never forget

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>something like that, right.

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Wolf defied the odds in so many different ways, including

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 4>dissing the GM right.

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 5>Off the bat on the phone.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.600
<v Speaker 4>So it really is amazing that Wolf, you know, lasted

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 4>ten years and went to four Pro Bowls. It really,

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:50.760
<v Speaker 4>it really is at me. You mentioned Charlotte there, So

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 4>you grew up in Harrisburg, North Carolina. Yeh, a few

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 4>miles from Charlotte Motor Speedway. Are you a NASCAR guy?

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Not really, not really.

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.439
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's it is cool that, like the area

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.239
<v Speaker 6>harrispere Concord in general is very big on it. So

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 6>when there are when the races do come to town,

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.160
<v Speaker 6>it's like a very big thing and it's a lot

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 6>of traffic. So for me, who doesn't really go to

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 6>the races, it kind of messes up my routine.

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:20.400
<v Speaker 5>But it's it's really cool though, to see.

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:22.880
<v Speaker 1>What was the sound like, I mean, could you hear it? Yeah?

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, you hear all the engines all that type

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 6>of stuff.

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 5>It's cool.

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 6>It makes you want to go see what's going on

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:30.959
<v Speaker 6>in there, you know, but so far, one of these

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 6>days I'm go go see one of these days.

0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 4>What was it like to grow up there? I mean,

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 4>what do you remember the most? Just from the childhood

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:38.400
<v Speaker 4>and growing up?

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 5>It was cool? It was fun, you know.

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I went to like kind of like

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:46.240
<v Speaker 6>one of those pro typical like small towns, middle school

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 6>and high school right beside each other. You grow who

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:51.159
<v Speaker 6>you played with in middle schools, who you played with

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 6>in high school. Uh So football was like a very

0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 6>big thing, especially when my coach, Jason Side got there

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 6>my sophomore year, going to my junior year, football became

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 6>like a super super big thing in the town.

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 5>And I think that's kind of.

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 6>What started, Like I always loved football, but really started

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:10.360
<v Speaker 6>to really drive like my real like passion I love

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.679
<v Speaker 6>football seeing how much football could kind of bring like

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 6>everybody together and then think about how my closest friends

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.159
<v Speaker 6>are people that were my teammates at one point or another.

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:23.120
<v Speaker 6>So it was a really good time growing up in Harrisburg,

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 6>really good time.

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 1>What was it like in high school? Was football your

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>only sport that you played? Did you play anything else? Yeah?

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.960
<v Speaker 6>So I played I played football, I played basketball, and

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:35.600
<v Speaker 6>then I played baseball, and so I played quarterback, like

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 6>when I went to high school. So my first my

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 6>freshman sophomore year, I was a quarterback. And so at

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 6>the time I was baseball was like my full time commitments. Sokay,

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 6>during the summer, I'm travel ball. I'm traveling all over

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 6>the place. And that was really my best sport. I

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 6>played center field and then second yeah, and so it

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 6>was crazy. So I'm playing quarterback at the time. And

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 6>so we had a tournament and I go to tack

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 6>somebody out and I take my glove off and I

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:04.119
<v Speaker 6>broke my thumb. And obviously, at quarterback, you know you

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 6>need your hands. And so we going to spring practice

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 6>and I'm trying to play quarterback with a club on

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 6>my left hands, and I just kept thinking about how

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 6>frustrated I was, and I think that's when it kind

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 6>of hit me that I enjoyed football a lot more

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 6>than baseball.

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 5>How fresher I was.

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 6>And so then I made the decision that I wanted

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 6>to commit my summer in my free time to football.

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 6>And so when I told my baseball coaches and even

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 6>my parents, they were pissed because well, it wasn't even that.

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 6>It was just at the time, like we all thought

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 6>like I was going to go to college for baseball.

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 6>And so then when I kind of was like, hey,

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to play with folks on football where

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.240
<v Speaker 6>at football, like I was good, but I wasn't really

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 6>projecting as like a collegiate or professional scholarship, you know,

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.919
<v Speaker 6>they were really confused. And then I just I remember

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 6>I literally told you just gotta trust me and that

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 6>I was going to put in the work to make

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:55.399
<v Speaker 6>it happen.

0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And they yeah, Syracuse, Yeah that's Charlotte. You know,

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think a Syracuse coming in and pulling your

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>kid out of Charlotte. Yeah, white Syracuse. Who else were

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:09.239
<v Speaker 1>you recruited by?

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 6>So it was it was really between West Virginia and Maryland,

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 6>Syracuse and then North Carolina.

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Virginia, how did you turn that out?

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:18.120
<v Speaker 5>Then North Carolina.

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 6>They they made a really really strong push, which was

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 6>hard for me because I grew up a North Carolina fan.

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 5>But my dad, he was very big.

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 6>On He just kept telling me that Syracuse he felt

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 6>like for the plan for me to NFL, that it

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 6>would be a good position for me, knowing that I

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 6>could get in and I could play early. And then

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 6>we had guys already Syracuse who were making noise as

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 6>young players, and so Andre Cisco, the safety for the

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 6>Jacksonville Jaguars, as soon as I got there, he was

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 6>like the first guy really tried to get under his wings.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.920
<v Speaker 6>So after my recher year, me Andre Cisco a Fox,

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.159
<v Speaker 6>and Mela Fan who's the safety on the Lions us

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 6>through we just worked.

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Out easy for you to say, we just.

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 6>Worked out all spring and so then I went in

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.240
<v Speaker 6>the next year fighting for a starting job.

0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Thankful I won the job. And then after that, you know,

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 5>we just kind of went from there that. It's crazy.

<v Speaker 1>We come back.

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 4>How curious you might be to see Kyler upfront and

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 4>in person, in game action, and when that might be

0:28:57.560 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 4>It is the Big Red Rage. Garrett Williams, presented by

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.959
<v Speaker 4>Santan Ford and Gilbert We are live from Trophy and Chandler,

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 4>located on Greek Creek Road between Price and Dobson.

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Shotgun snapped to Murray, steps up and takes off far

0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 3>side of the twenty got room at the ten, cuts

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 3>right to the five dukes to defender and scars touchdown

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Kyler Murray a twenty two yard run, his second rushing

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 3>touchdown of the game. That defender is in multiple pieces

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 3>at the five yard line as he tried to break

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 3>down and make that play, and Kyler broke him down.

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>When right through Washington secondary like buttering the microwave.

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Baby, I see an arm, a foot, a piece of

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 3>the torso on the ground there of the Washington defender

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 3>as he got shook by Kyler Murray.

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:52.720
<v Speaker 4>That was spectacular. Oh my goodness, it's just some you

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 4>here donfair fashion wolf call in the twenty one yard

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 4>touchdown run against Washington circa two thousand. I remember that

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 4>season because he set an NFL record. Nine games he

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 4>had a passing and rushing touchdown, one of each, and

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.720
<v Speaker 4>that was an NFL record at the time. We could

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 4>spend the rest of the show here on The Big

0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 4>Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert Live from

0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Trophy and Chandler with Garrett Williams, Cardinal's third round Rookie.

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 4>We could talk about Kyler Murray and all the accolades,

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 4>Rookie of the Year, two time pro bowler, the whole deal.

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 4>But you tell us what have you seen of him

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 4>in practice? You know, coach said, he's full go. We

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 4>don't know what exactly he's doing, but just just when

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 4>you watch his skill set as a guy who played

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 4>the position in high school. I mean, you tell us,

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 4>what's your reaction.

0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 5>Kyler's nice.

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.280
<v Speaker 6>It's actually so crazy, even just the NFL part in general,

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 6>being like seeing guys like him and like Zach, guys

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 6>you watched growing up, and no, Kyler, he's he's legit.

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's it's it's special to watch, you know

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 6>what I'm saying. The arm, talent, the mobility, things like that,

0:30:57.760 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 6>he's one of one for sure.

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>What about mentally right now? Based on what you're seeing,

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>does it look is if he's picking up the offense

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and he's out there mastering the offense, does it look

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>like he knows what he's doing?

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Yeah, one hundred percent.

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:15.360
<v Speaker 6>And Kyler is one of those guys who's got like

0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 6>he's not okay with not knowing what's going on. You know,

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 6>he wants to have all the answers and he wants

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 6>to know what to do. And it's showing in practice

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 6>he's you know, he just started practicing again and he's

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 6>already out there commanding things kind of like he didn't

0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 6>even miss a step. So it's just again, it's just

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:32.880
<v Speaker 6>it's really just special to see, uh, just knowing you've

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 6>been watching him since college.

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 5>That really really watched him since high school.

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, to be his teammate now, especially spend a lot

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 6>of time in rehabbing, it's really cool.

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he really was a national name in high school. Yeah,

0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:48.600
<v Speaker 4>that's how remarkable it is. Well, Kanta Ingram told us

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 4>last week his first week of practice that Kyler got

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 4>out there and he's audibly, he's checking it in a different place.

0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 4>He's running the twos against the ones, and he seems

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 4>to have a real mastery of the offensive act. Here's

0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 4>your offensive coordinator. Drew Petsing on what he's seen.

0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 11>So far, he was awesome. You know, I think his

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 11>engagement in the meeting room certainly showed up. You saw

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 11>some strides quickly, like it was something that didn't take

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 11>very long, but I got it. That's what we talked

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 11>about in the meeting room.

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 5>Here it is on the field.

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 11>I'm going to go out and make sure that I'm

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 11>focused on and getting it done. So really encouraged by that.

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 11>He was really into it. I think it was exciting

0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:20.000
<v Speaker 11>and fun for him to be out there. So it

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 11>was great to see that. I mean, anytime you go

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 11>through an injury in or rehab like that, your first

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 11>time back on the field, there's some emotion, some energy,

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 11>and it was good to see that from him.

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 4>That Chiante also told us as a rookie last year,

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 4>one of his initial takeaways was just watching Kyler fit

0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 4>the ball in, just zip the ball into those tight windows.

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 4>And I mean, you tell us that that's what makes

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 4>an effective NFL quarterback, right because in the NFL, look,

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 4>the separation isn't three yards like it is in college.

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It's closer to three inches.

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 4>And so when you have a quarterback like that, and

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what you've seen so far, but when

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 4>you have the accuracy and the anticipation, I mean, that's

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 4>how you win in the NFL, right, because you're not

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 4>going to dominate most of these They're not gonna be

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 4>wide open.

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:33:02.360 --> 0:33:05.080
<v Speaker 4>So, in terms of what Kyler has done out there,

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 4>and in terms of the knee especially, you tell us

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 4>what mental hurdle maybe did you have to overcome because

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 4>we don't know where Kyler is mentally necessarily with the knee,

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 4>But tell us from your perspective, how big a deal

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:17.840
<v Speaker 4>was that for you mentally with your need.

0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I don't know, it's different because me

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 6>and him are in two completely different situations. Where me,

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 6>like I was coming in I've never even seen what

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 6>the NFL looks like. Where him, He's had a lot

0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:33.280
<v Speaker 6>of success already. But for like him, I kind of

0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 6>just feel like, I mean, he's Kyler. He knows he's good,

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 6>you know what I'm saying. So I feel like it's

0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 6>not gonna be as big of a hurdle as people

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:42.600
<v Speaker 6>with thinks. Now, obviously when you get there out there

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 6>on the field, like things are gonna be moving faster

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 6>in practice because adrenaline in this game speed. But if

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 6>there's a person I feel like who could kind of

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 6>overcome that easily, it definitely be him.

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 1>How about you personally, Garrett, what was it like to

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 1>have that serious knee injury and then you trying to

0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>come back? Was there was there was there hurdles that

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you needed to overcome mentally when you were trying to

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>get back.

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:09.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, one hundred percent.

0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 6>This is without The past year without that has been

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.880
<v Speaker 6>like the hardshear in my life for sure, Because anybody

0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 6>knows me, like I football is like really like truly

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:19.840
<v Speaker 6>like a passion of mind. So not being able to

0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:23.400
<v Speaker 6>play was different as I was like that was my

0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 6>first surgery ever. So like a lot of different things,

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 6>and then it just gets back to the thing of

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 6>like when you're on crutches and needing people just to

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 6>help you get up the stairs and get into your

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 6>car and carrious like so many little things like that

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:37.800
<v Speaker 6>you take for granted, Like there's a thing I'll never forget.

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 6>It was like right after I had gotten hurt. So

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:42.799
<v Speaker 6>I'm still Syracuse, maybe two days after the injury, and

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 6>my mom's in my apartment and I was trying to

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 6>shower and I slipped and I fell and my mom

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:51.280
<v Speaker 6>had to pick me up off the ground.

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:53.240
<v Speaker 5>And I was like butt naked.

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 6>And so imagine I'm twenty one years old, thinking I'm

0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 6>growing and my mom.

0:34:58.320 --> 0:34:59.839
<v Speaker 5>Has to pick it up, you know what I'm saying.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.799
<v Speaker 6>Awkward, Yeah, things like that, Like it kind of puts

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 6>the same perspective, and it just makes you more grateful

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.719
<v Speaker 6>just to even like be able to be out there

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 6>and not even just play football, just to walk again,

0:35:10.800 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 6>you know what I'm saying, Run around and just not

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 6>feel your knee hurting every second. Like it's it's a

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 6>lot of different things you got to overcome that you

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 6>don't even think of. And when I got to Arizona,

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 6>things got a little bit easier because I had guys

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 6>like Kyler and Zach who are dealing with the exact

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:29.439
<v Speaker 6>same things, So we could kind of talk about those

0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:31.360
<v Speaker 6>different things we were struggling with, and it kind of

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 6>feel like helped each of us kind of get going.

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 6>So like for me personally, seeing Zach get out there

0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:39.880
<v Speaker 6>week one and do his thing, it gave me a

0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:42.120
<v Speaker 6>lot of confidence seeing him go out there taking hits,

0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 6>run around, making plays. So I'm really really grateful that

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:47.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm able to be around this type of guys.

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:50.239
<v Speaker 1>Was there an adjustment period for you in regard to

0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.960
<v Speaker 1>being in between the white lines and knowing that your

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 1>knee was going to be okay? Did you think about

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 1>it when you were out on the field trying to

0:35:58.480 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 1>come back?

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 5>I thought about it.

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:04.400
<v Speaker 6>I thought about it a lot before I got activated,

0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 6>So like when I was out there with the trainers

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:08.520
<v Speaker 6>running around, you know, it was very like, you know,

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:12.279
<v Speaker 6>sometimes I'd be very like hesitating things like that, But

0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 6>once I got cleared and I was out there with

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:17.520
<v Speaker 6>the guys, honestly, it's you know, there's not much thinking

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 6>about that, you know, I'll just be locked in.

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's corner. Such a physical position.

0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they change the direction.

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:28.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't know how it could be any

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 4>more demanding.

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:30.759
<v Speaker 5>On that body part. Oh it is.

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:33.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And don't get it twisted like it's you know,

0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 6>I still have to do stuff for my knee daily,

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:38.600
<v Speaker 6>Like this is a never never for me, Like the

0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:40.080
<v Speaker 6>rest of my career, I would be very big.

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:40.760
<v Speaker 5>On that type of stuff.

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 6>But you still deal with those knee soreness, knee pain

0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:46.720
<v Speaker 6>like things like that. But we have a really good staff,

0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 6>like sports performance staff surrounded surrounding me and all the guys,

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.400
<v Speaker 6>and they make me feel really comfortable. So when I

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 6>did get out there, I didn't really have to second

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 6>guess anything because they made sure I knew that I

0:36:57.760 --> 0:36:58.720
<v Speaker 6>was ready.

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:03.359

<v Speaker 4>Lamar Jackson next and the Big Red Rage, presented by

0:37:24.680 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Santan Ford in Gilbert.

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Lamar under center.

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:34.520
<v Speaker 4>Fourth down and one at the Lion seven. Ricard goes

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:36.759
<v Speaker 4>in motion. Jackson play fake, He'll keep it, run to

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 4>the left side. He's flip five.

0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>You walk in touch down. Now.

0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:47.400
<v Speaker 12>That is creativity from this offense, showing them one thing

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.560
<v Speaker 12>which they've done over and over and over and then

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 12>booting it off a nicked boot out of that with

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:55.600
<v Speaker 12>Lamar outstanding play.

0:37:56.680 --> 0:38:00.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no doubt, that's Jerry Sandusky Rod Woodson on Ravens Radio. Well,

0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 4>let's see here, Ron.

0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:01.480
<v Speaker 5>Hopefully.

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:04.719
<v Speaker 4>Baltimore scored a touchdown in its first four possessions at

0:38:04.719 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 4>home against Detroit and their last outing it was twenty

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.359
<v Speaker 4>eight to nothing before the Lions had a first down.

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that good? That's really good?

0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:16.319
<v Speaker 4>Pretty darn good, Big Red Rage. Garrett Williams is our

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:19.280
<v Speaker 4>guest the Round three Rookie All, presented by santan Ford

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 4>and Gilbert. We are live from Trophy and Chandler located

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.279
<v Speaker 4>on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson. You know

0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:28.400
<v Speaker 4>us is pretty pretty good, Lamar Jackson. Their quarterback, Garrett

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:32.520
<v Speaker 4>you're probably aware he's top three in passer rating, completion percentage,

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:35.799
<v Speaker 4>passing yards, and oh, by the way, he's eighteenth in

0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 4>the NFL in rushing. That's including all the running backs.

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:41.719
<v Speaker 4>So you tell us what jumps off the film when

0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:43.240
<v Speaker 4>it comes to number eighth.

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.839
<v Speaker 6>He's special. You know, he can he can kill you

0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.359
<v Speaker 6>in every single way you could think of. And he's

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:50.440
<v Speaker 6>playing comfortable. You know, I think that's the big thing

0:38:50.440 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 6>for any FOLL player. He looks comfortable out there. Then

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 6>you add his amazing skill set on top of it.

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:57.759
<v Speaker 6>That's what that's what's gonna happen. You know, they're doing

0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:00.400
<v Speaker 6>a good job of them put the right place and

0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 6>right people around for him to succeed, and he's he's

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:03.240
<v Speaker 6>making HAVM.

0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:06.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's amazing about watching them once again under

0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:09.480
<v Speaker 1>John Harball. The one thing you know you're gonna get

0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 1>with the Baltimore Ravens is a very physical football team offensively, defensively,

0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and in transition. Watching them offensively, first intent, they're in

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:22.799
<v Speaker 1>two back fifty percent of the time. I mean it's

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:26.239
<v Speaker 1>it's like a fifty to fifty split. They're in one

0:39:26.320 --> 0:39:28.799
<v Speaker 1>back and two back sets right there, and they run

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it all. They go eleven personnel, one back, one tight end,

0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:36.399
<v Speaker 1>three wide receivers all the way to twenty personnel where

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you've got two backs and you've you've got no tight ends.

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's really interesting to see what they're doing.

0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:46.719
<v Speaker 1>And yet at the same time, all they do is

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:50.240
<v Speaker 1>attack the line of scrimmage over and over and over again.

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:54.440
<v Speaker 1>The Baltimore Ravens are very physical football team. That shows

0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:55.799
<v Speaker 1>up on tape, doesn't it again.

0:39:55.880 --> 0:40:00.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, the very big offensive line, and they

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 6>they played like you said, they play a physical brand

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 6>of football. And so for us on defense and even

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:06.799
<v Speaker 6>the offensive too. You gotta just understand going into that

0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:09.479
<v Speaker 6>game that you got a mass energy and they're gonna

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 6>come in and think they can bill you. And that's

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:12.919
<v Speaker 6>just how they That's just how they go into games,

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:14.840
<v Speaker 6>and so you gotta throw your punches too and let

0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 6>them know that you're here.

0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 4>Just to first thing, Jonathan Gannon said, who he thinks

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 4>they have an underrated offensive line. That was his big

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:24.560
<v Speaker 4>takeaway when he looks at that team. Obviously, Lamar Jackson

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:27.960
<v Speaker 4>gets a lot of publicity deservedly so, in fact, we

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:31.240
<v Speaker 4>asked Zaman Collins earlier this week just about the task

0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:33.320
<v Speaker 4>of going against the twenty nineteen MVP.

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.680
<v Speaker 13>Lamar is pretty special, dude. He can obviously cause a

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:38.440
<v Speaker 13>lot of issues in the past game with just his

0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:41.719
<v Speaker 13>feet and then obviously his talented arm. So you had

0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:44.399
<v Speaker 13>something you watch teams trying to every week shut him down,

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:47.000
<v Speaker 13>you know. So it's definitely a tall task to do.

0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Running ability, right, just I mean, there are two quarterbacks

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 4>who can kill you from the pocket but can also

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.760
<v Speaker 4>run a four to three Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray

0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 4>and Zay Flowers was telling some of the this week.

0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 4>That's the rookie receiver for Baltimore. That just the running ability,

0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:08.479
<v Speaker 4>the escapability, you know, his ability to extend the play.

0:41:08.480 --> 0:41:12.480
<v Speaker 4>It makes Stebe's cover you twice. Yeah, So explain that

0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:14.480
<v Speaker 4>because you've gone against safe Flowers before, now you go

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 4>against Lamar. What does he mean by that cover you twice?

0:41:16.800 --> 0:41:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 6>So there's the initial part when the play happens that

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 6>they have their regular routes, you try to guard it,

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:24.640
<v Speaker 6>and then when your quarterback breaks the pocket, it's called

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 6>scramble drill. And so when scramble drill, the receivers they

0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 6>basically make up and run their own routes, and so

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 6>not every team is great at scrambled droll's because it

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 6>really depends on the mobility and accuracy of.

0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 5>Every quarterback outside of the pocket.

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:39.560
<v Speaker 6>And so when you have guys like Lamar and Kyler,

0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:41.879
<v Speaker 6>guys like that who can keep plays alive and still

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.680
<v Speaker 6>be accurate outside of the pocket, receivers feel way more

0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:48.359
<v Speaker 6>comfortable running farther down the field and doing whatever they

0:41:48.360 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 6>want because they know the ball still has a chance

0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:52.360
<v Speaker 6>to get to them. So it definitely has been an

0:41:52.400 --> 0:41:54.920
<v Speaker 6>emphasis for us this week in practice of staying on

0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:57.799
<v Speaker 6>your guy, you know, don't get comfortable even when the

0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 6>play is you think it's dead, because with the Goblin

0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:03.200
<v Speaker 6>Mars more than likely probably not done when you think

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:03.759
<v Speaker 6>it is, you know.

0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:05.759
<v Speaker 1>And then you go ahead and you flip it over

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 1>and look at their defense as well. Once again, this

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:13.920
<v Speaker 1>is a very physical defense right here. It's amazing because

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:16.799
<v Speaker 1>they're number two in the National Football League in the

0:42:16.800 --> 0:42:19.800
<v Speaker 1>red zone. Red zone defense that is really really big.

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:24.680
<v Speaker 1>They're number one in goal to go defense, number one,

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:28.359
<v Speaker 1>and because of that, the harder the closer you get

0:42:28.400 --> 0:42:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to the end zone, the harder it becomes to score

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 1>against these guys. It's truly incredible to watch it on tape.

0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 1>They're the number one scoring defense in the National Football

0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:45.839
<v Speaker 1>League thirteen point nine points per game. The Baltimore Ravens defensively,

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:47.919
<v Speaker 1>and you know what it really is, it's not even

0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 1>their rush defense as much as it is their pass defense.

0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 1>They're the number one defensive quarterback rating defense in the

0:42:56.560 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 1>National Football League. Wow, number one opposingquarterbacks have an average

0:43:01.080 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 1>up seventy point eight quarterback rating against them. Seventy point eight.

0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Just abandon all hope, he who enter here. That's what

0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:13.880
<v Speaker 1>it is. That's what this offense, our offense is going

0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:14.840
<v Speaker 1>to be up against.

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:17.480
<v Speaker 4>But think about how it is week to week, Right

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:19.719
<v Speaker 4>like the week before Cleveland went out and they jack

0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:22.200
<v Speaker 4>stomped the Niners and they had the number one defense

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 4>in the NFL any week, and then the Colts just

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:27.640
<v Speaker 4>put thirty eight on them any week, PAULI, it's amazing

0:43:27.719 --> 0:43:30.920
<v Speaker 4>now week to week, Eric, I don't you know, obviously

0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 4>you're figuring this all out in your rookie year. But

0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:36.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm guessing a lot of guys are telling you, you know,

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, I mean, this is this isn't college. This

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.399
<v Speaker 4>isn't Notre Dame against some Division III school. I mean,

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, Cardinals went out and beat Dallas when they

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 4>were supposedly a number one team in the Power Pole.

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:49.320
<v Speaker 4>So what has the mindset been like in practice this week?

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 6>Probably it really just stays consistent. It's not really as

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:56.040
<v Speaker 6>much about who we are playing like now, obviously, like

0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:58.279
<v Speaker 6>there's like the game plan and things like that, But

0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:00.360
<v Speaker 6>I feel like for us, and really feel like a

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 6>lot of teams, is really more about your own team

0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 6>and just improving your team within your locker room and

0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 6>getting better in practice and focusing on the details of

0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 6>controlling what you can control. You know, if you prepare

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.319
<v Speaker 6>how you're supposed to go and going into games, you're

0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:15.759
<v Speaker 6>gonna probably play better in the games regassi of who

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:16.480
<v Speaker 6>you're playing against.

0:44:16.520 --> 0:44:16.719
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 6>So as long as you're taking care of yourself and

0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:20.920
<v Speaker 6>the team is making sure that we're all helping each

0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.759
<v Speaker 6>other get better, that's that's really just the main thing.

0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:25.960
<v Speaker 4>And this will be your third matchup against Jay Flowers

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:29.600
<v Speaker 4>because you went against him at BC. Yep, that'll be interesting.

0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Right now, he's number two among rookie receivers. Jay Flowers

0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:37.160
<v Speaker 4>thirty nine grabs, four hundred and forty two yards, so route.

0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Right now if you ask me, yeah, he is.

0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:40.799
<v Speaker 5>Hey, how about it?

0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Everyone?

0:44:41.239 --> 0:44:45.759
<v Speaker 4>For Garrett Williams, I mean honestly, I'm like, could he

0:44:45.840 --> 0:44:49.400
<v Speaker 4>deliver beyond the interception against Seattle? And yes he did tonight.

0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely he did, really well done. Special thanks as always
