Speaker 1: last we left you, Ron Wolf lick. Yeah, the Mars
Speaker 1: rover had just touchdown. Fact the words were touchdown confirmed.
Speaker 1: Not this again. In the interim, Wolf, We've decided here
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert,
Speaker 1: we are santan for to employ our own rover of sorts,
Speaker 1: because we know how you're into the selatious and the
Speaker 1: sensational stock ball. Your middle initial is TMZ. We know
Speaker 1: that wolf about you, and with that in mind, we've
Speaker 1: sent our rover into the backyards of other NFL teams.
Speaker 1: Gone over the block wall, as we like to say,
Speaker 1: where is this sege going? Paul? And if you haven't
Speaker 1: noticed Wolf for a complete lack of games right now
Speaker 1: in the NFL, we haven't even started the league year. Heck,
Speaker 1: the combine has even been canceled. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: drama out there in the NFL. There is some dramas,
Speaker 1: some quarterback drama too, I might add ball. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's some great words that you see splash across headlines
Speaker 1: these days, denials and desertion, or the word divide. In Seattle,
Speaker 1: how about the Niners saying Jimmy g is their guy
Speaker 1: and yet nobody really believes them. John Lynch has got
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, no, I really believe that
Speaker 1: he's going to be our quarterback. He follows it up
Speaker 1: and qualifies it by saying, no, I really believe that
Speaker 1: even uses the words no doubt, except there's a run doubt,
Speaker 1: Yes there is. How about the Texans saying, you know what,
Speaker 1: the power grid may have failed, but we're not going
Speaker 1: to commit the epic fail of trading Deshaun Watson. Right yet,
Speaker 1: there's Deshaun Watsons telling the new head coach, I'm not
Speaker 1: playing for the Houston Texans. And then, of course there
Speaker 1: was a headline earlier today and we'll get into this
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. But how about this
Speaker 1: for a headline when it reads the athletic in Seattle?
Speaker 1: What is driving the rift between Russell Wilson and the Seahawks?
Speaker 1: Quote power and control. Now that's something to dig your
Speaker 1: teeth into. There's a debate going on in the national
Speaker 1: football right now, Paully, the football universe. Basically, the debate
Speaker 1: is how much say should a franchise quarterback actually have?
Speaker 1: It's going on with Deshaun Watson, and it's going on,
Speaker 1: I believe with Russell Wilson right now, how much say
Speaker 1: should a franchise quarterback have? I listen, For the longest time,
Speaker 1: a general manager had to have complete autonomy for the
Speaker 1: most part. Right he was the guy to me, I
Speaker 1: will continue to say, ten years ago and before that,
Speaker 1: the general manager was the most important hire an owner
Speaker 1: was going to make. Paully, because that general manager he
Speaker 1: was going to draft. He was going to assemble the roster.
Speaker 1: He was going to go out and sign free agents.
Speaker 1: He was going to hire coaches, a couple of coaches,
Speaker 1: probably head coaches. He'd get that opportunity. He was the
Speaker 1: most important guy you had in your organization. And right
Speaker 1: now that is changing a little bit. That general manager
Speaker 1: has got to be able to tap into a little
Speaker 1: bit of counsel with that franchise quarterback. Well, what have
Speaker 1: we been saying for a good decade, No QB, no chance?
Speaker 1: That's right. Maybe the time has just come where quarterbacks
Speaker 1: have had that epiphany that guess what, I am more
Speaker 1: valuable than the GM. A GM is replaceable. A franchise quarterback,
Speaker 1: for the most part is not. So it's like that
Speaker 1: anonymous coach that's quoted in that athletic story about Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson and the Seahawks Pete Carroll and John Schneider and
Speaker 1: the quote from the anonymous coaches, it's a great story.
Speaker 1: There's a lot there, money, greed, our control, end quote,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Paulie, and we all know franchise
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL is the hardest human being defined.
Speaker 1: It's almost like sweeps month has hit the NFL. If
Speaker 1: you will, you know that's the way it works in
Speaker 1: local tiers such a television guy Paul. Maybe it's a
Speaker 1: ratings game. We'll get into that with Darren urban Ola
Speaker 1: but later. But first we're gonna go into the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Sean Coogler met the media today. That is next than
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert.
Speaker 1: I like the improvement between year one and year two
Speaker 1: with Cliff. I look at the changes that Cliff has
Speaker 1: made with his coaching staff are going to be big improvements.
Speaker 1: Our run game was a strength early in the season,
Speaker 1: and promoting Sean Cooler to our run game coordinator, I
Speaker 1: think we're going to continue to improve. I think Cliffs
Speaker 1: done a fantastic job this offseason, and t and I
Speaker 1: sat down multiple times talked about the things went right,
Speaker 1: the things went wrong, ways that we can fix it,
Speaker 1: and the possible solutions moving forward. And Tom, I'm very
Speaker 1: confident that the things that more negative issues this year
Speaker 1: with our football team will get corrected. Self scouting, that's
Speaker 1: what it's all about in the offseason year From Steve
Speaker 1: ki Bidwell, the GM and owner respectively, both with Doug
Speaker 1: and Wolf this week last week on decision Makers Week
Speaker 1: Newsmakers Week, I guess is what you guys officially called.
Speaker 1: I always called the decision Makers Week on ninety eight
Speaker 1: seven Arizona Sports, and those scop are always wrong. Paul. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, you guys never consulted me on the the Moniker,
Speaker 1: and so you know, I just went rogue on you guys.
Speaker 1: I always thought that, you know, well, we could have
Speaker 1: improved on that. But once again, no one listens to me.
Speaker 1: Say where are you, by the way, Polly in the morning.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm mossing you badly. As you know. First off,
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping in I'll tell you that. Oh you Robin,
Speaker 1: And for the most part, but as for what you
Speaker 1: heard right there, Wolf, if you're gonna talk, and you
Speaker 1: heard Michael Bidwell say it, did he not? And we're
Speaker 1: going to get into this a little bit with Darren
Speaker 1: Urban momentarily on the Big Red Rage presented by santan
Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert the Run Game, and he mentioned twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty twenty, Well, what is the second half of
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen have in common with the first half
Speaker 1: of two thousand and twenty? The Run Game was in
Speaker 1: gear and the offense was firing on all cylinders, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. In twenty nineteen, it was that second
Speaker 1: half of the season winner Kenyan Drake really took off.
Speaker 1: It got him a transition tag, is what it did.
Speaker 1: Bally that second half of twenty nineteen when they start
Speaker 1: to use a lot more two tight ends, even went
Speaker 1: to three tight ends at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: If you'll remember back to twenty nineteen, Balie, this was
Speaker 1: an offense that was in a state of flux, and
Speaker 1: it was fluxing more towards the destructive nature of the
Speaker 1: game of football as opposed to the deceptive nature of
Speaker 1: the game of football. And Kenyan Drake, as I said,
Speaker 1: really got off in that second half of twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: and it got him that transition tag. This is something
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals need to get back to
Speaker 1: a little bit more and I'm hoping that's what they do.
Speaker 1: I'll just throw this one stat at you. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna go heavy on the numbers, but but you tell
Speaker 1: me how significant this is, because this is from my
Speaker 1: note sheet going into the final game of the season
Speaker 1: at the Rams, the playoffs hanging in the balance. Week seventeen.
Speaker 1: And here's a stat going into the final game of
Speaker 1: the season. Over the first nine games of the year,
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals averaged one hundred and sixty nine yards
Speaker 1: rushing per game. They were six and three at that point.
Speaker 1: Over the next six games, they averaged just over one
Speaker 1: hundred eleven yards per rushing. As a team, they went
Speaker 1: two and four, and then in the finale they had
Speaker 1: eighteen carries as an offense for just forty eight yards
Speaker 1: rushing at the rams. They finished two and five over
Speaker 1: the last seven games and missed the playoffs. Yes, and
Speaker 1: to me, it's just stark, is it not. Yes, And
Speaker 1: so you realize, Okay, the capability is there. What happened?
Speaker 1: What exactly do the Cardinals have to do to adjust
Speaker 1: to the adjustment, if you will. Whatever defenses were doing,
Speaker 1: it was effective to make the Cardinals one dimensional to
Speaker 1: a large degree and take away the balance in the offense.
Speaker 1: And Sean Kogler was asked about that in a roundabout
Speaker 1: way today when he met the media. I think we
Speaker 1: do have the tools in place to be an outstanding offense.
Speaker 1: Coach Kingsbury, you know, he is very creative, and you
Speaker 1: know the offense works when it's rolling, and we just
Speaker 1: got to make sure that everybody's in position doing their jobs,
Speaker 1: so we are rolling there. You so give me your
Speaker 1: thoughts on Sean Coogler. And you know how much tweaking
Speaker 1: does it require? Is it philosophy, is it personnel? To
Speaker 1: what degree is it? Both? Give me your thoughts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Paul, I think it's a combination of a
Speaker 1: lot of different things right here. Listen. First of all,
Speaker 1: the fact that Coogs got promoted a run game coordinator.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of that because, as the old
Speaker 1: saying goes, more say more, pay right, and more pay
Speaker 1: more say and I think that's exactly what he's gonna
Speaker 1: have now. Listen, was he the run game coordinator for
Speaker 1: the most part last year? Yes, he was. But we've
Speaker 1: talked about this this offseason. It's really important that you
Speaker 1: get that title because you do get paid more, and
Speaker 1: when you get paid more, you get to say a
Speaker 1: lot more as well. I think there's some changes maybe
Speaker 1: on the horizon, and we'll see what happens here in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, but i'd love to see him Paully
Speaker 1: put more emphasis on just whipping the dude in. You
Speaker 1: raise the bars, so to speak, across the board, and
Speaker 1: you know what, start trashing dudes as opposed to tricking dudes.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? And you know, we talked about
Speaker 1: that with Rob Frederickson a couple of weeks ago, did
Speaker 1: we not, you know, more the power run game, the
Speaker 1: straight ahead run game, Kyler unders center a little more often,
Speaker 1: more north south, Paulie. And it's interesting because Sean Kugler,
Speaker 1: during the beginning of the press conference today, he was
Speaker 1: asked about, you know, the philosophy of defenses it taken
Speaker 1: away Kyler Murray because that seemed to be the emphasis
Speaker 1: of defenses about midway through the season. That was the
Speaker 1: big adjustment on those RPOs. And he said, look, you
Speaker 1: know what, if they're going to do that, you got
Speaker 1: to play it perfectly, or Kyler is going to pull
Speaker 1: it and run it and that's where he's at his
Speaker 1: most dangerous. But he also said, our offense is built
Speaker 1: around Kyler's mobility and him making the proper reads, and
Speaker 1: so if the defense takes that away, theoretically that should
Speaker 1: oopen up other things. But that didn't happen often enough
Speaker 1: obviously in the second half of the season. No, and
Speaker 1: Paul to your point in regard to Kyler Murray being
Speaker 1: the center, the epicenter of the cards rushing attack. I
Speaker 1: think they need to adopt a different strategy that acknowledges
Speaker 1: the only thing more powerful than running Kyler Murray is
Speaker 1: the promise of running Kyler Murray. I would like to
Speaker 1: see them go to a more physical put the onus
Speaker 1: on the offensive line destruction as opposed to deception. And
Speaker 1: we'll get into the offensive line. What exactly is happening
Speaker 1: at the center position, What is happening at right tackle?
Speaker 1: What else did the Cardinals need on offense? We'll talk
Speaker 1: to Cardinals insider Darren Urban Next Fromacy Cardinals dot com.
Speaker 1: It is the Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are Santanford, bottom ban bottom boom. Great
Speaker 1: protection for Kyler Murray. The pocket has been really, really sound.
Speaker 1: This is where you gotta feed the butt guts now, baby,
Speaker 1: you gotta let those butt guts line up and eat.
Speaker 1: Get a little greasy. They like it, greasy shotguns. Snapping
Speaker 1: a hand off the drake up the middle. He's in
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, Kenyan Drake from a yard out. Cardinals
Speaker 1: had the lead, You had the butt guts, come off
Speaker 1: the ball, get movement at the point, Baby, I try
Speaker 1: to bot a being bot a boom, but I can't
Speaker 1: quite pull that off as well as a guy from Buffalo.
Speaker 1: There's just something about that when you're from the Silicon
Speaker 1: Valley doesn't really work quite to the same point. That's right.
Speaker 1: Come on, you know they're at Berkeley trying to say that.
Speaker 1: Knock it off, Paul, I need some help here. That's
Speaker 1: why we're gonna bring in on the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford
Speaker 1: Cardinals insider, Darren Urban and Darren Good Evening. We'll get
Speaker 1: into the old line momentarily. All the butt gut news
Speaker 1: you can use momentarily. But first off, I saw about
Speaker 1: twenty four hours ago you tweeted out a picture of
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald Courtside, Son's minority owner Larry Fitzgerald Courtside. How
Speaker 1: about attaching some sort of update to that tweet? Darren,
Speaker 1: Can you please bring us some news on Larry's future
Speaker 1: beyond him just signing something for a fan courtside. Paul,
Speaker 1: we have had this discussion many a time, and clearly
Speaker 1: nobody knows what the heck is going on, and Larry
Speaker 1: is just gonna do it on his own schedule, and
Speaker 1: your guess is as good as mine. I wish I
Speaker 1: had an update. I wish I had an update for
Speaker 1: many reasons, not the least of which is I'd like
Speaker 1: to not have to worry about it twenty four hours
Speaker 1: a day. But we are where we are, derb. Can
Speaker 1: we agree though, that the longer this goes on, the
Speaker 1: better the odds are that he comes back. So here's
Speaker 1: how I'm kind of looking at it, Wolf. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you that it's still a possibility.
Speaker 1: The question becomes why would it be? I find it
Speaker 1: hard to believe that it's the question maybe of just
Speaker 1: whether he wants to play or not, so maybe there's
Speaker 1: some other stuff involved out a mall. I mean, we've
Speaker 1: all talked about the contract many times, and it would
Speaker 1: be hard to believe that the Cardinals would bring him
Speaker 1: back for the eleven million dollars he's been playing for
Speaker 1: the last few years. So you know, maybe they're saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you do come back, it would be this amount
Speaker 1: of money. Does Larry really want to do that? I
Speaker 1: do think that ultimately He's going to have to make
Speaker 1: a decision before we get to free agency, because I
Speaker 1: just don't think in how tight this salary cap world
Speaker 1: is going to be that they can afford to have
Speaker 1: him say after the fact, Okay, now I'm going to
Speaker 1: come back. I don't know if that would work. I'm
Speaker 1: sticking to my latest theory advanced initially on The Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage last week and then further on Cardinals Underground
Speaker 1: the podcast this week, and that is to the point
Speaker 1: where Larry not only is coming back, but since there's
Speaker 1: going to be the advent of super teams according to
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds and all these one year deals, the competitive
Speaker 1: vantage Larry has a no other Layer has in the
Speaker 1: NFL is his contact list. So Larry will come back
Speaker 1: and then he'll announce it with about a half dozen
Speaker 1: other signings that he has generated, and so boom, He's
Speaker 1: going to orchestrate this whole super team Lebron style for
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals in twenty twenty one. Who's with me
Speaker 1: on that, Polly? That is a hot take right there. Honestly,
Speaker 1: what do you do do you? I mean, have you
Speaker 1: locked yourself in the closet to come up with these
Speaker 1: hot takes? Is that what it is? I've been watching
Speaker 1: too much of, you know, some of the TV too
Speaker 1: much of First Take and Stephen A. Smith and some
Speaker 1: of the other no and Skip Bayliss. It's all about you.
Speaker 1: The offensive line presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert and Darren.
Speaker 1: Some initial takeaways from what Sean Kugler had to say
Speaker 1: the old line coach and run game coordinator today. Well,
Speaker 1: I know, for me the first one, and you know
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that I asked the question, so
Speaker 1: maybe that's why I'm thinking of it first. But I
Speaker 1: thought he was fairly For a coach in the offseason,
Speaker 1: you're rarely going to get anything really concrete. But for
Speaker 1: him to talk about the center position the way he
Speaker 1: did that, you know both Lamont Galliard and Mason Cole
Speaker 1: were up and down, and that the position needs to
Speaker 1: take a step up and that they very well could
Speaker 1: bring in some competition, I thought that was fairly intriguing
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, I think we've all talked about
Speaker 1: where Mason Cole was, and we saw Lamont Galliard get
Speaker 1: some snaps and some work in a couple of games
Speaker 1: last year. But I think they would like to get
Speaker 1: a little bit better on the offensive line. I think
Speaker 1: center makes a lot of sense and it's going to
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what direction that goes in. So
Speaker 1: that that's the first thing that I thought. So what
Speaker 1: do you think they might do if, in fact, they
Speaker 1: were to bring somebody from the outside in? Somebody they thought, Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like a Corey Linsley. Wouldn't that be
Speaker 1: awesome if that were the case right there? But what
Speaker 1: do you think they do with Mason Cole Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got a guy who can play guard. He has
Speaker 1: played when he hasn't played center, He's played guard and done,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you've got another swing person
Speaker 1: that gives you some depth and that you know, that
Speaker 1: was a big deal for them last year, was talking
Speaker 1: about Okay, not only do we have our starters and
Speaker 1: they stayed fairly healthy, which was good, but we've also
Speaker 1: got depth that if somebody gets hurt, we feel a
Speaker 1: little bit more comfortab plugging them in. Then maybe they
Speaker 1: were in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, you know, in
Speaker 1: that situation when they had their offensive line injuries. So
Speaker 1: you know, I know the Packers center, like you mentioned,
Speaker 1: has been out his name has been out there, But again,
Speaker 1: how much are you willing to pay for some of
Speaker 1: the stuff and where does that fit with everything else?
Speaker 1: I mean, if Patrick Peterson ends up leaving, you're you're
Speaker 1: basically looking because I think Byron Murphy still works best
Speaker 1: as a slot cornerback. You're basically looking to replace both
Speaker 1: your starting cornerbacks. And yeah, maybe one's in the draft,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to go get one somewhere. And
Speaker 1: I just think with all the different things they have,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can necessarily afford to spend there.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that. Well, did you guys see what Corey Linsley
Speaker 1: told Serious NFL Radio today. Quote it looks like all
Speaker 1: signs points to snapping the ball somewhere else next year
Speaker 1: end quote Corey Linsley. So he's resigned to leaving Green
Speaker 1: Bay and we'll see, we know. Sean Coogler today called
Speaker 1: it an open competition at center. I just got the
Speaker 1: sense he was a little salty. I mean, for February,
Speaker 1: he definitely wasn't in a very good mood. Now he
Speaker 1: wasn't He wasn't cross with the media or anything or short,
Speaker 1: but there wasn't a smile cracked. He mentioned how they
Speaker 1: were the most penalized team in the NFL and the
Speaker 1: old line was a big part of that and there
Speaker 1: were a lot of pre snap penalties by the old line.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had his game face on in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways to me. In February and then he
Speaker 1: was asked about Josh Jones rookie year and how he
Speaker 1: might play into things in year two for the kid
Speaker 1: out of Houston. He got his feet wet last year,
Speaker 1: but he didn't have to be pushed into a starting role.
Speaker 1: I thought that was good. I thought he handled his
Speaker 1: rookie year extremely well, not only on the field but
Speaker 1: in the room. I saw a lot of growth. We're
Speaker 1: very excited about him. He offers position flexibility. He could
Speaker 1: play tackle, he could play guard. We'll see where that
Speaker 1: goes as we get into the offseason. Is that viable wolf?
Speaker 1: Could he be a guard? Yeah? Jones? No, absolutely, You're
Speaker 1: gonna get your five best out on the field in
Speaker 1: any way you have to do that. You're gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and do it. If you don't feel that Josh
Speaker 1: Jones is ready to play on the adge out there well,
Speaker 1: you know when you move them inside and listen, this
Speaker 1: guy has got an awful lot of talent. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. We all were jacked up when the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals were able to get him in the third round.
Speaker 1: There are many people who believe that he was a
Speaker 1: high second round pick, maybe even a late first round
Speaker 1: pick in some mock drafts, and to get a guy
Speaker 1: of that quality is significant. Listen the OTAs and not
Speaker 1: having the OTAs and the truncated preseason and no preseason games.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? It was a disaster for Josh
Speaker 1: Jones not to be able to develop like that an
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. The big jump from college to the pro
Speaker 1: game is beyond significant, and he was trying to do
Speaker 1: what I consider to be the impossible. Darren, what do
Speaker 1: you make of right tackle? How wide open is it
Speaker 1: right now? Oh? I mean, I think it's pretty wide.
Speaker 1: What's going to be interesting to me? I think they
Speaker 1: really like the job Kelvin Beecham did on the field,
Speaker 1: and everybody I talked to. Obviously Weeding get to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time in the locker room, Paul, but
Speaker 1: everybody I talked to, he says, He's a major factor
Speaker 1: as a leader in the locker room. So I think
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways it would make sense to
Speaker 1: bring him back. What the question is, how much would
Speaker 1: you be willing to spend on him? Could he get
Speaker 1: more money elsewhere after the year he had. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to break the bank or anything.
Speaker 1: But again, this is all going to be very compact
Speaker 1: in terms of all these different contracts, and you know,
Speaker 1: I think I could see a scenario where he comes
Speaker 1: back and plays right tackle. And when you talk about
Speaker 1: Josh Jones playing guard, I mean they are going to
Speaker 1: need a right guard potentially. I think you Jr. Sweezy's
Speaker 1: probably gonna leave as a as a free agent. And
Speaker 1: then you know, as justin Murray stay there, do you
Speaker 1: maybe use Jones? What do you do with Marcus Gilbert,
Speaker 1: who whose contract tolled while he opted out last season,
Speaker 1: so he still has a year left on his deal.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of things to be sorted out,
Speaker 1: and that's why it would be so nice if they
Speaker 1: were able to get some OTA's this offseason. And right
Speaker 1: now it's it's kind of up in the air. I'm
Speaker 1: not super optimistic about it, but you never know, maybe
Speaker 1: they'll decide, Okay, the regular workouts, we're going to stay
Speaker 1: out virtual, but you will be able to get together
Speaker 1: seven to ten times for some on field stuff if
Speaker 1: you go through the proper protocols. And I think we
Speaker 1: all agree, Guys, dj Embrey's had a Pro Bowl caliber
Speaker 1: season a left tackle. What about left guard? We know
Speaker 1: Justin Pugh had a great season by the assessment of
Speaker 1: Sean Coogler bod He's got a big number attached to
Speaker 1: his name and would seem to be a candidate to
Speaker 1: get trimmed and be a sour cap casualty. What do
Speaker 1: you think of that, Darren, I think it's I think
Speaker 1: those kinds of things are on the table, especially again
Speaker 1: if you start talking about eight Josh Jones could potentially
Speaker 1: play guard, and oh, by the way, they you know,
Speaker 1: they they still have Justin Murray and they've you got
Speaker 1: some other possibilities Mason Cole maybe or Lamont Galliard, even
Speaker 1: although I think he makes more sense at center. So
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to figure some stuff out.
Speaker 1: What we don't really know yet is how they might
Speaker 1: address where they are with a cap room and from
Speaker 1: the from the numbers that I've seen out there there,
Speaker 1: they Ballpark are gonna have around thirteen to fifteen million
Speaker 1: dollars in cap space, which is an okay number, but
Speaker 1: when you think about how many people there they could
Speaker 1: be losing because none of that includes them. I mean
Speaker 1: that already wipes out Patrick Peterson's number, and as Reddick
Speaker 1: and Larry Fitzgerald and Kenyan Drake. So you're talking about
Speaker 1: having to replace those guys potentially if they leave. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be figured out. And I don't
Speaker 1: know what direction they might do. And you know, does
Speaker 1: Justin Pugh take a pay cut or could they cut
Speaker 1: him or do they just run with him saying, hey,
Speaker 1: he had a really good year, We're just going to
Speaker 1: live with his number because it makes sense, and we'll
Speaker 1: find that space elsewhere. That's still to be determined, and
Speaker 1: I do think there's an outside chance they could make
Speaker 1: some moves as we get closer to the New York
Speaker 1: League year. I think it really comes down to Justin
Speaker 1: Pugh as well, in his society level with the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: how much he likes being here in Phoenix. Because these
Speaker 1: are the decisions a lot of guys in the NFL
Speaker 1: are going to have to make one year decisions where
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to say, listen, I'm going to take
Speaker 1: a haircut on this because of the salary cap situation
Speaker 1: being what it is. How much do I like the fit,
Speaker 1: how much do I like the city? How much do
Speaker 1: I like being here? Am I going to live here
Speaker 1: when I'm done? A lot of things come into play
Speaker 1: on that, but I can see just Stin Pew taking
Speaker 1: a haircut as well. Well, you know. Sean Coogler had
Speaker 1: thoughts on how the old line can get better. He
Speaker 1: also said as an offense, the Cardinals need to get
Speaker 1: more consistent. That flashes of greatness and offense didn't get
Speaker 1: them where they wanted to be. So how We'll get
Speaker 1: into that next with Darren Urban on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Boord and Gilbert shot guns naff
Speaker 1: to Murray, stemps up and takes off far side of
Speaker 1: the twenty got room at the ten, cuts right to
Speaker 1: the five jukes to defender and score touchdown Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: a twenty two yard run, his second rushing touchdown of
Speaker 1: the game. That defender is in multiple pieces at the
Speaker 1: five yard line because he tried to break down and
Speaker 1: make that play, and Kyler broke him down when right
Speaker 1: through Washington secondary life buttering the microwave, Baby, I see
Speaker 1: an arm of foot, a piece of the torso on
Speaker 1: the ground there of the Washington defender as he got
Speaker 1: shook by Kyler Murray. That was spectacular. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: It's just it's unfair that week to win against Washington
Speaker 1: thirty to fifteen Cardinals at twenty seven three in that game,
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray had a pair of rushing touchdowns fourteen
Speaker 1: and twenty one yards right there, and uh yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a Cardinals two and oh start. And Kyler in
Speaker 1: year two. It is the big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert. We are Satan for Paul kelvc
Speaker 1: Ron Wilfley and Cardinals insider Darren Urban and Darren I've
Speaker 1: tried to tell Wolf that I see Kyler's third year
Speaker 1: being a lot like what Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen
Speaker 1: did in their third year taking the Cardinals to the postseason.
Speaker 1: I think is going to be the ultimate gauge. And
Speaker 1: I just think the way those guys had pretty good
Speaker 1: starts of their NFL careers although they didn't make a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl like Kyler did in year two. I just
Speaker 1: think that year three is going to be a huge
Speaker 1: launching pad for Kyler and his play and as a leader.
Speaker 1: What do you make of that statement? I mean, I
Speaker 1: hope so it's funny. I have to smile a little
Speaker 1: bit because at this time last year, what we were
Speaker 1: saying was, I think year two is going to be
Speaker 1: that year for Kyler Murray because that's when Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: made his big jump and Lamar Jackson made his big jump.
Speaker 1: I think year two is going to be it for
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. And then he obviously played very well this
Speaker 1: year a good chunk of the times, but there are
Speaker 1: other times when you wish you would have been a
Speaker 1: little bit better. And now we're kind of like, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe it's year three. I do think this. I think
Speaker 1: that I think there's gonna be a lot of for
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, pressure on Kyler next year,
Speaker 1: on Cliff Kingsbury and just how this team is going
Speaker 1: to go. There's an assumption there was once once they
Speaker 1: got to five and two and even six and three,
Speaker 1: I think there was an assumption they were going to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and we all know that it was
Speaker 1: a massive disappointment they didn't. If they don't make the
Speaker 1: playoffs next year, and there are ways where they could
Speaker 1: not make the playoffs and play good football, and there's
Speaker 1: nuance there, but for the most part, if they don't
Speaker 1: make the playoffs next year, I mean, what are we
Speaker 1: talking about here? What are we what are we doing?
Speaker 1: And I think Kyler Murray taking that kind of step
Speaker 1: that you're saying Paul is going to be a big
Speaker 1: part of it. But I do think it goes beyond
Speaker 1: just him. I mean, I do think they need some
Speaker 1: offensive skill pieces around him to help them get there.
Speaker 1: And you know what, with that in mind, Sean Kugler
Speaker 1: was asked about the offense as a whole in general
Speaker 1: and beyond Kyler and what can they do, what should
Speaker 1: they do based on what they learned in year two
Speaker 1: with Kyler under center? They're going to try to take
Speaker 1: away Kyler because he's such a dynamic player, and you know,
Speaker 1: there is you know, standards of different ways of trying
Speaker 1: to do that, but it also opens up other things
Speaker 1: as well, So you know, sometimes they have to play
Speaker 1: it perfectly or Kyler's going to pull it and when
Speaker 1: he pulls it, he's very dangerous, and if they do
Speaker 1: the thing is to take it away. You know, we
Speaker 1: just need to be efficient enough in other areas where
Speaker 1: we can handle that and excel theoretically. Well, if they're
Speaker 1: going to put all that attention on Kyler, which seemingly
Speaker 1: happened in the second half of the season, the Cardinals
Speaker 1: should be able to make them pay in other ways
Speaker 1: by exploiting that defense in other areas, Right yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 1: For me, it's all about running the ball in a
Speaker 1: north south fashion, and it's the one thing I think
Speaker 1: they kind of got away from last year. It's the
Speaker 1: one thing I think when I go all the way
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen that really made Kyler's rookie year
Speaker 1: as special as it was the fact that they could
Speaker 1: run the ball in between the tackles in a north
Speaker 1: south way, and the second half of twenty nineteen with
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, they really did
Speaker 1: a good job of running north and south. What's happening
Speaker 1: right now is you've got to defensive edges. Whether it's
Speaker 1: a defensive end or whether it's an outside linebacker. You
Speaker 1: got the edges right now and They're not going to
Speaker 1: let Kyler run the ball. They're not going to let
Speaker 1: that happened. So what do they do. They stand there
Speaker 1: on the edge and they force him to hand that
Speaker 1: ball off. And there's a lot of people right now
Speaker 1: that are working on a defender actually trying to do
Speaker 1: both to force that. Now, it hasn't worked great. It's
Speaker 1: the reason why the zone read is what it is.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of things that's an edge guy
Speaker 1: can actually do to confuse a quarterback as well. All
Speaker 1: he's got to do is crossover and act like he's
Speaker 1: going to take one step down the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: and then stop and suddenly the quarterback was reading him
Speaker 1: to close and takes the ball out. And it's a
Speaker 1: tough proposition. You see teams doing this to Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: on the edge. They are defending Kyler Murray, which means, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: just hand the ball off and run it in a
Speaker 1: north south way, run it well and you'll gain yards.
Speaker 1: Sean Kogler, the fact that you know he got the
Speaker 1: promotion and the title on the offseason, Okay, is it
Speaker 1: really just about that or do you think that signals
Speaker 1: a different direction with this offense, Well, he certainly wasn't
Speaker 1: going to go there today he was asked specifically about that,
Speaker 1: and he basically said, there's really going to be nothing different.
Speaker 1: He just has a new title, and I had a
Speaker 1: feeling and then it was something like that would happen
Speaker 1: if if he was asked. I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: going to be a whole lot of difference everything I
Speaker 1: understood about what they were doing already. Sean Coogler had
Speaker 1: a huge part in their run game in the first place,
Speaker 1: and in fact, Cliff Kingsbury has said that multiple times.
Speaker 1: So do I think it's going to be a lot different?
Speaker 1: I don't think the offense per se is going to
Speaker 1: be a lot different. Again, you know, I go back
Speaker 1: to like, what kind of personnel are we talking about having.
Speaker 1: Are they going to bring back Keane Drake again, or
Speaker 1: are they going to go and have a bigger back
Speaker 1: which changes the dynamic a little bit, Chase Emmons or
Speaker 1: a bigger back. You know, I would love that date
Speaker 1: what's that? I would love that, honestly, if with a
Speaker 1: bigger back and hammer the ball in between the tackles.
Speaker 1: Right now, I've that to me. The physicality I think
Speaker 1: is where they can improve the most. What would that
Speaker 1: bigger back do for the offense? Though, well, for real quick,
Speaker 1: I mean just football one on one? What would that
Speaker 1: do that perhaps a Kenyan draker Chase Edmonds can once again,
Speaker 1: You've got guys on the edge, Paul, that are trying
Speaker 1: to force Kyler Murray to hand the ball off, So
Speaker 1: good hand the ball off and let somebody rip it
Speaker 1: for four yards. Have somebody come off the ball. You've
Speaker 1: got to change the mentality. I think of what we
Speaker 1: saw last year, I didn't think they ran the ball
Speaker 1: as well as they did in twenty nineteen. That was
Speaker 1: the difference. I know in the first nine games of
Speaker 1: the season it looked like they were there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. But teams figured out the Arizona Cardinals in
Speaker 1: their rushing attack and the second half of the season.
Speaker 1: Can we agree on that? Yep. And that's why I
Speaker 1: would totally agree on that. And that's why I threw
Speaker 1: the question out Darren, Okay, are these a few tweaks
Speaker 1: or they need a different direction, a new philosophy of
Speaker 1: sorts on offense. I come back to my question. I
Speaker 1: think that is the question in the offseason, the offense well,
Speaker 1: I guess, and I would defer to Wolf in terms
Speaker 1: of the actual analysis here. There's a couple of things. One,
Speaker 1: I do think they need another pass catcher that would
Speaker 1: that would make their passing game a little bit more
Speaker 1: dynamic than it was with basically DeAndre Hopkins, and then
Speaker 1: some other pieces that weren't doing as well as they
Speaker 1: wanted to. But let's go back to two years. I mean,
Speaker 1: and again Wolf can answer this question with what they were.
Speaker 1: They weren't running the ball as well last year a
Speaker 1: lot of the time when it wasn't Kyler as they
Speaker 1: were in twenty nineteen. But were they doing things differently offensively?
Speaker 1: I don't think they really were. I think they were
Speaker 1: just not doing it well. So that tells me the
Speaker 1: offense wasn't the issue as much as the execution, because
Speaker 1: if they were running basically the same offense and just
Speaker 1: not getting the same production, I mean, because we saw
Speaker 1: down the stretch in twenty nineteen, that running game looked
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, you know, he's so weird too, because
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, would you say he was productive? D There's
Speaker 1: no doubt abound he was productive. Nine hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: five yards. He was forty five yards short of a
Speaker 1: thousand yards rushing. He had ten touchdowns as well. He
Speaker 1: was productive, but when you go back and watch the tape,
Speaker 1: I think he could have been more productive. Does that
Speaker 1: make sense? Even his mom at one point in the season,
Speaker 1: remember he told the story his mom said he was
Speaker 1: running laterally and he needed to go north south. So
Speaker 1: so yes, I think. And even after wins through the
Speaker 1: first half of the season, how many times did Kyla say, well,
Speaker 1: we left a lot out there? Yeah? And so yes,
Speaker 1: that was your takeaway that even though they were winning,
Speaker 1: even though they were seemingly averaging close to thirty points
Speaker 1: a game in those first nine games, the offense was
Speaker 1: far from flawless. I mean, there was a lot that
Speaker 1: they left out in that guylon. It was Kyla, right,
Speaker 1: it was Kyler Murray, and it was Kyler running the
Speaker 1: ball an awful lot. And then team said, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're not going to let him do that. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna let Kyler Murray beat us on this zone read
Speaker 1: We're not going to do that. We're not gonna let
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray run the ball on an RPO or hand
Speaker 1: the ball off on an RPO. We're going to force
Speaker 1: him to actually throw it, and you can do that.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing about defense, if in fact you
Speaker 1: want to dictate to the offense, when you run RPOs
Speaker 1: and you run the zone read a defense can dictate
Speaker 1: what happens to the offense, especially in rundown situation. If
Speaker 1: you want as we as we as we wrap with
Speaker 1: Darren Urban here, well, if you want to know what
Speaker 1: it's like to be a Cardinals insider, Darren, to what
Speaker 1: degree are you following social media twenty four seven in
Speaker 1: anticipation of some sort of indication from Larry Fitzgerald. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm necessarily following it, but I got
Speaker 1: more notifications on Twitter, different Twitter people than I normally would.
Speaker 1: Let's put it all like, okay, all right, just so
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying you don't really start your
Speaker 1: off season until Larry makes his decision. I guess that's
Speaker 1: what saying. Thank you, buddy. Thanks, All right, there you go,
Speaker 1: Darren Urban, keep up the good work at acy Cardinals
Speaker 1: dot com and beyond. We continue with a big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Satan Ford k Gilbert Garoppolo out a
Speaker 1: shotgun McKinnon in the backfield with him Garoppolo as the ball,
Speaker 1: thankes the handoff stands of the pocket pumps and in
Speaker 1: trouble backs up still ask the ball and then he's
Speaker 1: finally wrapped up and sacked by Chandler Jones. Are you
Speaker 1: planning on cutting Chandler Jones? I'll reject that. There you go,
Speaker 1: that was pretty definitive newsmaker's week. I'll get it right.
Speaker 1: Doug in Wolf ninety eight seven FM Arizona Sports Doug
Speaker 1: with a question and Steve Kim with a pretty concrete
Speaker 1: answer on the future of Chandler Jones. As there's been
Speaker 1: speculation out there, Ron Wolf, please you guys discussed with
Speaker 1: the Cardinals GM. It is a big red rage presented
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert Special thanks to Darren Urban
Speaker 1: Cardinals Insider. But when it comes to Chandler Jones and
Speaker 1: the fact that he missed most of last season and
Speaker 1: he's coming back this season with twenty plus million do
Speaker 1: him on his final year of his contract, I guess
Speaker 1: that does make him a target of speculation. But to
Speaker 1: assume that makes him a salary cap casualty, well, Steve
Speaker 1: Kime shut that down. Yeah, you know, and rightfully so.
Speaker 1: I would say it's a bicep terror of course that
Speaker 1: he's coming back from. And that's great because you don't
Speaker 1: want it to be something with his lower extremities paly
Speaker 1: like a like an Achilles or an acl or something
Speaker 1: like that. Right, you'd rather see it be an upper
Speaker 1: body injury like what he suffered, rather than something with
Speaker 1: his lower body. That's so critical for an edge rusher,
Speaker 1: especially at his age. Right, the dreads thirty plus and
Speaker 1: then there's always this speculation, and rightfully so is it
Speaker 1: really a one year injury or is it going to
Speaker 1: take him two years to come back if it's a
Speaker 1: knee or an achilles. So look, if Paul Pencilnet can
Speaker 1: come back from a recent bicep, Arry, you know Chandler
Speaker 1: Jones can. So I think we're all looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: The question was a strain, It was not a terror.
Speaker 1: The question is, and I'll show you this car to
Speaker 1: prove it, Ron wolf Lea. The question becomes, are they
Speaker 1: going to get a contract extension done and bring his
Speaker 1: cap number down? That might be one way to work it.
Speaker 1: And either way, who are they going to get to
Speaker 1: be his bookend pass rusher? N Reddick's still going to
Speaker 1: be here Marcus Golden. I mean, how critical is that, Paulie.
Speaker 1: This is something that you and I have ruminated about
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But to listen, you're looking
Speaker 1: at your edge and you're looking at your corner position.
Speaker 1: Would you say that's important that combination once again, right
Speaker 1: for a defense in the National Football League and the
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty one of our Lord, I can tell
Speaker 1: you right now, the edge and the corner. That's kind
Speaker 1: of important right there. And the Cardinals have question marks
Speaker 1: at the edge and the corner, and that's I'm sure
Speaker 1: something that Steve Kim and his staff are going to address.
Speaker 1: How about a On Reddick on a tag? The tag
Speaker 1: window opened this week. Whether would you feel about that? Polly?
Speaker 1: How would you feel if you got the transition tag?
Speaker 1: I think it might make a lot of sense. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's tough when it comes to the numbers and the
Speaker 1: salary cap being reduced to one hundred and eighty million
Speaker 1: or so. We'll see the final number. But you want
Speaker 1: to see what exactly you have after year two at
Speaker 1: that position for a Son Reddick, right, I mean, he
Speaker 1: proved himself, but it was on such a limited sample size.
Speaker 1: You want to get a sense, Okay, is this for real?
Speaker 1: And if he comes back on a one year deal
Speaker 1: and he's just as motivated as he was this year,
Speaker 1: then you get a true sense as to whether he
Speaker 1: has stained power as an edge rusher, especially at age
Speaker 1: twenty six. You want to know, Can I invest in
Speaker 1: this guy long term? Yeah? No, Polly, I would consider
Speaker 1: using the transition tag on Hassan, Right, can you give
Speaker 1: us one more? Can you do it? One more year?
Speaker 1: You got? If you had Hassan Riddick and you had
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones out there, well you'd feel pretty good about
Speaker 1: the edge, especially if somehow, some way you can still
Speaker 1: bring back the junkyard dog. Marcus Golden is a guy
Speaker 1: that would play more and run down situations. Maybe a
Speaker 1: guy coming off the edge who you know he's going
Speaker 1: to give you everything. He's got a good rotation guy
Speaker 1: to be able to come in and play and be
Speaker 1: a professional right there. I would love to see them
Speaker 1: do that and somehow some way still be able to
Speaker 1: bring back pat P. And I'm worried about that one
Speaker 1: because Pat P to me, I think of the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers number one with Todd Bowles BA and maybe
Speaker 1: giving them a hometown discount, so to speak. And then
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs as well, Paulie with Tyrone Matthew there,
Speaker 1: Tyrone Matthew has got great clout inside that organization. Andy
Speaker 1: Reid respects him greatly, and we know the friendship the brotherhood,
Speaker 1: if you will. Between Tyrone Matthew and Pat p I mean, look,
Speaker 1: Pat p has had better seasons obviously, and he was
Speaker 1: the most penalized defensive player in the league. We get that,
Speaker 1: But where is the Cardinal's defense without Patrick Peterson at corner?
Speaker 1: On the depth chart? Yeah, I mean, to Darren's point earlier,
Speaker 1: they would need two starting corners at that point, and
Speaker 1: you don't know who's going to be there at number sixteen.
Speaker 1: A lot of mock drafts have the three big corners
Speaker 1: who are worthy of that selection already being gone before
Speaker 1: the Cardinals select in the middle of the first round. So,
Speaker 1: to your point earlier about the importance of edge, rusher
Speaker 1: and corner remember what Steve Kyme always says in the
Speaker 1: first round, there are four positions that are most definitely
Speaker 1: worthy quarterback, left tackle, edge rusher, and cornerback. And so
Speaker 1: if you can maybe solve the edge rusher with a
Speaker 1: tag on a Son Reddick and Chandler Jones is coming back.
Speaker 1: I think that clears the way for the Cardinals to
Speaker 1: target corner in round one. We'll wrap up this edition
Speaker 1: to the Big Red Rage next as he had him,
Speaker 1: We got him do Go Hawks, Hawks. I'm gonna see
Speaker 1: y'all in the morning. You can go to sleeping. That's
Speaker 1: reminiscent of a Sunday Live skit, is it? Not totally
Speaker 1: except that's not the ladies man. That's Russell Wilson and
Speaker 1: Ciara from the master bedroom around midnight of the evening
Speaker 1: where he signed on the line that has dotted to
Speaker 1: become the highest paid player in the NFL when he
Speaker 1: inked his contract, and then our Jim Momahunter added the
Speaker 1: background music which is titled by the Way, Smoke Stacks
Speaker 1: of Sacks. That's the music bed right there. Just to
Speaker 1: let you know, Polly, that was the beginning. That was
Speaker 1: the beginning of it all, where Russell Wilson did stuff
Speaker 1: that I think is out of character or at least
Speaker 1: my perception of Russell Wilson. That's where it's started, where
Speaker 1: he was doing things differently, Let's put it that way. Well,
Speaker 1: when you look at the tweet by Adam Schefter. We're
Speaker 1: wrapping up this edition of The Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert, and we're looking over the
Speaker 1: block wall into the Seahawks backyard. And how can you
Speaker 1: not right now when you saw that in depth article
Speaker 1: out of the Athletic detailing the dysfunction and the divide
Speaker 1: was the word they used between Russell Wilson and the organization.
Speaker 1: And then Adam Schefter tweeted out that the four teams
Speaker 1: he would be willing to waive his no trade cause
Speaker 1: to would be Dallas, Vegas, Chicago, and New Orleans. So Wolf,
Speaker 1: to your point, I mean those are all big time
Speaker 1: media markets, a lot of glamor a lot of attention
Speaker 1: in those teams in those markets. I mean those were
Speaker 1: selected to be both a player and an entertainer, if
Speaker 1: you will, to maximize his brand if you ask me, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about this since the whole Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson thing as well, but right now, there was a
Speaker 1: concerted effort in the National Football League for franchise quarterbacks
Speaker 1: to have more say in the organization. You could see
Speaker 1: this happening. I would you ever have banked on Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks having this kind of supposed
Speaker 1: rift between them in the front. I would have never
Speaker 1: even imagined that. Paul. I know that he's kind of
Speaker 1: complained in the past a little bit in regard to
Speaker 1: his offensive line, and rightfully so, but nothing like saying
Speaker 1: I would accept a trade. Here are the four teams
Speaker 1: I would accept a trade. Two and not that I
Speaker 1: want to be traded, but here's the four teams that
Speaker 1: I never in a million years thought we'd get to
Speaker 1: this point. And I can also say this, PAULI, there's
Speaker 1: no way it's going to happen, right, John Schneider, there's
Speaker 1: no way you're gonna trade Russell Wilson. Well, first off,
Speaker 1: if they do, it's a thirty nine million dollar cap hit.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you it's a party in the NFC
Speaker 1: West too. I mean, it wouldn't seem feasible. But in
Speaker 1: this story they talk about Russell Wilson and we all
Speaker 1: saw it during the Super Bowl, sitting in the owners
Speaker 1: in the Commissioner's box, and supposedly he was seething. According
Speaker 1: to the stories, he's watching Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: playing the Super Bowl. You realize the Seahawks haven't been
Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship game since twenty fourteen. Wow, the
Speaker 1: Cardinals went in fifteen obviously, So he wants his ideas
Speaker 1: and his suggestions heated to when it comes to scheme
Speaker 1: and personnel and the story details. How John Steiner and
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll have quote dismissed him and his input and
Speaker 1: so yeah, there's a big rift right now between Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson and the team. Do you see what Buddha tweeted
Speaker 1: out today? Oh? They better hope they don't do it.
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. Paul. By the way,
Speaker 1: how about a happy birthday to our guy, Rolando Canto,
Speaker 1: former Cardinals and our broadcaster. He is forty. I'm a man,
Speaker 1: I'm forty today, Rolando Canto? How about that? Hey's by
Speaker 1: the way, if you see him in an alley, go
Speaker 1: the other way, big guys, special thanks Jim A Hunter
