00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: Slammed to the ground by Puda Baker like a torpedo.

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: He came flying into the backfield Connor to the ten,

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: to the.

00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,920

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 4: Here we go, one handed catching a touchdown?

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 5: Oh baby, how's that fail?

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Here's Craiggriolou, Paul Calvic, and thirteen year NFL veteran Drew Stanton.

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 6: So the number is seven, as in seven players drafted

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 6: over the three days of the twenty twenty five NFL Draft.

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 6: But before we get into those, I think we do

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 6: need to pause in a moment of reflection, Paul, because

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 6: we all woke up to the news that Trey McBride's

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 6: reign as highest paid tight end lasted all of twenty

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 6: six days. With the news that George Kittle is now

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 6: the highest paid tight end in the league.

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: Good, that's me talking, not Trey McBride, by the way. Good.

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 4: It'll keep them humble. You give him something to shoot for,

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Earn the next contract, earned

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 4: the third contract, once again, become the highest paid tight

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: end in the NFL.

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 7: I like it.

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 8: I like it.

30
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 4: You know. Don't let him rest on his laurels or

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: walk around like he's the king. No longer. He's still

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: chasing George Kittle. I like it.

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 6: Nineteen million versus nineteen point one million annually. Do players

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 6: really care about that as a more of a media

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 6: agent thing, Drew.

36
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's just the measuring stick that eventually

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 9: just gets thrown out. You know, we talk about that,

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 9: and for the twenty six days that you get to

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 9: be deemed as that, it doesn't matter because it still

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 9: hits the bank account the exact same.

41
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: That's true.

42
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 6: The bar always gets raised. And congratulations to Kittle, Congratulations

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 6: to Trey mcbriden, Congratulations to these seven players that were selected.

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 6: We'll get into all of these, and certainly the highlights

45
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 6: is defensive tackle Walter Nolan the third, but overall, you

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 6: look at these seven players, Drew. Your big takeaways obviously,

47
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 6: six defensive players, just one offensive player. But whereas there

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 6: anything else that grabbed your attention?

49
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 9: Well, I think you look at what Mani Austin Fort

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 9: was doing when he showed up Day one and what

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 9: he's been able to accomplish systematically. Right. You always want

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 9: to stress, hey, we're trying to win now, win now mode,

53
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 9: but it takes time. It takes transition into getting your

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 9: guys and infusing that vision that him and JG have.

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 10: They were able to do that with this draft.

56
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 9: You look at best available or all.

57
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 10: Of these terms that you want to use.

58
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 9: They filled a lot of needs with this draft. Tremendous job.

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 9: Tremendous job by Mani Austin Fort in my opinion, with

60
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 9: him and his staff to go out there and find

61
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 9: great players, but also filled some extreme needs for you

62
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 9: and that back end. Right, we talk about later in

63
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 9: the draft guys that are gonna be difference makers. Obviously

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 9: one offensive lineman drafted. Fine, Okay, that's also a guy

65
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 9: that only gave up no sacks. I think it was

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 9: was the stat out of five hundred and fifty snaps.

67
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 9: So you're doing something right on the interior line there,

68
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 9: that guy that can come in and compete and do

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 9: all these things. A special teams guy, a local guy,

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 9: A lot of different boxes gets checked, but those top

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 9: two spots are always the ones that you need to

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 9: rely on each and every year to be a difference maker.

73
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 9: And he went that and knock again. Will Johnson might

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 9: be the best corner in this draft and best player

75
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 9: in this draft. We were talking last week. He might

76
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 9: have been a first round pick or when I was

77
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 9: here two weeks ago. So to get that value there

78
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 9: of a guy that can do it. And look, say

79
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 9: what you want about injury histories or forty times or

80
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 9: this that we're going to play football. This is about

81
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 9: assessing football players. And I watched him play live against

82
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 9: Marvin Harrison when he checked him at Michigan vers Ohio State.

83
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 9: He can play football, and that's what they're looking to do.

84
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 9: This regime is done, and that's why I think this

85
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 9: draft from top to bottom is as good as any

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 9: selections that anybody made in this entire draft.

87
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: I mean drew you around for Tyron Matthew, right, he

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: ran a four or five something, but he played like

89
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: he ran a four to three. The instincts, so if

90
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: you can play and you have those instincts. And to

91
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: your point about the rebuild process for maniasa for this

92
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: wasn't a one draft turnaround. You want to hear the

93
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: stat and I forgot about this until the other night.

94
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: The fifteen drafts leading up until twenty twenty three, the

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: fifteen drafts prior to Monte Asin Fort, the Cardinals in

96
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 4: the first two rounds had drafted a total of two

97
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 4: offensive linemen and two defensive linemen. In fifteen drafts, you

98
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: had DJ Humphries, Jonathan Cooper. Jonathan Cooper was pretty good

99
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: until the third week of the preseason of his rookie year.

100
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 4: Two d lineman Robert kimdchi Endo the first round, and

101
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: then Dan Williams the nose tackle. Fifteen drafts. So to

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: say you're just gonna turn around in one off season

103
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: or even two off seasons, No, I think this is

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: where things really start to come together.

105
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 6: And in three drafts, Mani is now selected in the

106
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 6: first round, two defensive linemen and an offensive lineman into

107
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 6: three drafts. So yeah, the emphasis is on the line

108
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 6: of scrimmage for GM Monty Austin Ford. Again, here is

109
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 6: the entire Class one player in each of the seven rounds,

110
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 6: Walter Nolan, the third, Will Johnson, Jordan Birch, Cody Simon,

111
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 6: Denzel Burke, Hayden Connor the offensive lineman, and Keaton Crawford.

112
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 6: Those seven players, as I mentioned, six defensive players. Many

113
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 6: just said, that's just kind of how things went.

114
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 11: It's just how it worked out. Wasn't the plan at all.

115
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 11: It's just, you know, it's one of those things where

116
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 11: we stick to the philosophy of staying true to our board.

117
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 11: Certainly would have loved to add some people on offense,

118
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 11: but just the way it worked out, we were always

119
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 11: going to take the guy who was who was higher

120
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 11: on our board, and just so happened that six of

121
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 11: the seven guys were on defense.

122
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 6: And I think you can do that Drew based off

123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 6: what money had done in free agency, because there were

124
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 6: no quote unquote glaring needs, at least perceived by the

125
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 6: front office. Now we might have a different take on that,

126
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 6: but if you're only selecting one offensive player, you certainly

127
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 6: are telling everyone we're comfortable with the players we currently

128
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 6: have on our roster.

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, and again, as you said, you don't win games

130
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 9: in the offseason, but you can put yourself behind the

131
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 9: eight ball in the off season, and there was so

132
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 9: much hype going in after free agency. Everybody's looking to say, Okay,

133
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 9: what are the Arizona Cardinals going to do come to draft,

134
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 9: because there's a lot of avenues they could go. Right,

135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 9: there was not a glaring weakness where they going to

136
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 9: go offensive line, where they're gonna maybe add another wide receiver. Right,

137
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 9: all of these questions that kind of needed to be answered. Well,

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 9: they solidified two spots extremely high with those first and

139
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 9: second picks. And then which direction do you go? Okay,

140
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 9: let's get some more. You can never have enough pass rushers, right.

141
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 9: They did a good job of addressing that in free agency,

142
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 9: but hey, let's add some more guys to this party.

143
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 9: Then you go get the necessity of Okay, I need

144
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 9: a mic linebacker that can get guys lined up. Right.

145
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 9: We think about all of the great Ohio state linebackers

146
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 9: that have played at this level, and they have the

147
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 9: ability to get all ten other guys in a position

148
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 9: to be successful. That's what the mike linebacker needs to do.

149
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 9: He's the quarterback of the defense whatever you want to

150
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 9: call it, but that role. If he can step in

151
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 9: there as a fourth round pick and fill that need

152
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 9: extremely extremely high value. And then as you look at

153
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 9: five through seven in the draft, it becomes a little

154
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 9: bit of a question work is a developmental guy?

155
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 10: Is he a guy we're taking a risk on because

156
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 10: of injuries? Character?

157
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 9: What does that look like? And to me right, and

158
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 9: they're all interchangeable. With a safety, corner, wide receiver, running back,

159
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 9: you constantly want to infuse new blood into that roster

160
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 9: because the bottom end of this roster as it gets

161
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 9: built out.

162
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 10: You need young talent.

163
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 9: You need guys that are gonna be able to step

164
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 9: out and fill out a practice squad. You're gonna need

165
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 9: all of these things. And then you add in an

166
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 9: interior lineman that has extreme value that can play, you know,

167
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 9: either one of those guard spots and move around and

168
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 9: doesn't have to feel the need of the pressure for

169
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 9: these guys. And then special teams value. So there's so

170
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 9: many ways to go about this, and as Money said,

171
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 9: that's just kind of the way the board fell. You

172
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 9: can go out and you can get great wide receivers later,

173
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 9: you know, in free agency or anything of this nature,

174
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 9: and develop those guys from within. But this draft top

175
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 9: to bottom again, it just speaks to them sticking true

176
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 9: to who they want to be as an organization and

177
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 9: building it that way.

178
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: I mean, look at round five, you got a guy

179
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: who started fifty one games at Ohio State just in practice. Man,

180
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: look at the five first round receivers he went against

181
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 4: over four years, not to mention who he played against

182
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: in game day and in the college football playoffs and

183
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: Denzel Burke and then same deal. You're like, Okay, how

184
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: can we find someone on round six who might actually

185
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: have a chance. Well, how about a four year starting

186
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: offensive lineman at Texas, guy who had really good tape

187
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: against Kenneth Grant and Mason Graham, not to mention all

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: the dudes he went against who are first round picks

189
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: out of the Texas d line room over the years.

190
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: So I just like the philosophy that when you get

191
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 4: later in the draft and you're trying to find someone

192
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 4: who might have a chance, guess what, maybe target the

193
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: elite college football programs.

194
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, coming out of Texas, Hayden Connor six six, three

195
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 6: twenty a three year starter at left guard. So yeah,

196
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 6: he has experience on the interior and was we heard

197
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 6: him say I had to play some center during the

198
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 6: college football playoffs. So certainly someone that has that versatility

199
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 6: that the Cardinals like. Now question marks, Yes, there's question

200
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 6: marks with all of these players. There are no such

201
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 6: thing as a sure thing when you're talking about the

202
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 6: draft leading into the draft, and even once the selection

203
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 6: was made. After the pick of Walter Nolan, the third

204
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 6: questions about motor does he have the passion to play? Well,

205
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 6: those fears, if you want to call them, Jonathan Gannon

206
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 6: erase those rather quickly.

207
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 12: He's got a huge heart. It was awesome in the

208
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 12: pre draft process getting to know him. I don't know

209
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 12: what narratives are out there anything like that. I make

210
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 12: up my own mind. And this guy's a cardinal on

211
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 12: one thousand percent, So I'm glad we got to add him.

212
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 10: Why is he a cardinal one thousand percent?

213
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 6: Turn on the tape, Well, you turn on the tape, Drew.

214
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 6: You see six foot four, two hundred and ninety six

215
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: pounds wearing that number two for Ole Miss and you

216
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 6: saw him everywhere and a lot of this I'm in

217
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: the backfield.

218
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 13: Yeah.

219
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 10: Well, I think it's so telling.

220
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 9: When we're watching this draft, right, We're all sitting on

221
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 9: the edge of our seat and they zoom in on. Okay,

222
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 9: it's this, this pick. To see the jubilation on JG's

223
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 9: face is like ooh, I mean the intensity of.

224
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 10: That lets you know everything, you know.

225
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 9: I mean, I think of the linebacker that was drafted,

226
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 9: you know, super late. All of a sudden, You're like,

227
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 9: why are the Eagles trading up right now? You know

228
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 9: for Johad Campbell. Boom, you see Howie Roseman going nuts,

229
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 9: and it's like, Okay, this is the guy they really wanted.

230
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 9: That same excitement we saw from JG when they were

231
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 9: able to get him there.

232
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 10: Because everybody's very coy.

233
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 9: They're trying to play it close to the vest and

234
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 9: you don't know where anybody's gonna fall, especially where you're

235
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 9: picking where the Cardinals are, so to get a talent

236
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 9: like this, and then they show the highlights and he's

237
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 9: jumping around, he's doing all these things to your point,

238
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 9: right those highlights, he's making so many tackles for loss

239
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 9: in the backfield, and he's beating blocks and he's doing

240
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 9: all these things. But how many guys did we also

241
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 9: hear throughout all of the first round of saying, well,

242
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 9: consistencies and a question mark here, Oh, a motor is

243
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 9: a question mark. Look, these guys are professionals. Now they're

244
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 9: getting paid in college a lot of money. Some of

245
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 9: them are taking pay cuts. If you're quitnures right to come.

246
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 6: To the NFL.

247
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: Yes, so no doubt.

248
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 10: Yeah.

249
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 9: So as you look at this, Walter Nolan is going

250
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 9: to be surrounded by so many guys. The bar is

251
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 9: going to be that high for him. And he's got

252
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 9: a guy like Kalays Campbell. He's got so many resources

253
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 9: at his disposal, and this is his full time job.

254
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 9: Now this is not like, Hey, I gotta go to class,

255
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 9: I gotta do this. This guy could end up being

256
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 9: one of the best draft picks of this entire draft.

257
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 9: And then you look at what he brings to the table.

258
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 9: We talked about it, right, do you go edge or

259
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 9: do you go interior? What's going to wreak more havoc?

260
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 9: That interior pressure there right now that the Arizona Cardos

261
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 9: can bring is going to be a game changer because

262
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 9: you only have to bring for at that point.

263
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: Adrian Wilson compared this pick too in terms of JG's eyes,

264
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 4: Fletcher Cox having that guy that three technique that just disruptive,

265
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: wrecking ball from the interior and everything just plays off that.

266
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 4: So to Drew's point about the reaction from John at

267
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: than Gannon, and he knows as a former defensive coordinator,

268
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: the value having that dude at that position.

269
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 6: Look, we all like what the Cardinals did nationally, some

270
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 6: people as far as the grades are concerned, Yeah, a's b's,

271
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 6: but again everyone's got a reaction. Miena chimes on the

272
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 6: Cardinals what they did over the three days this past weekend.

273
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 14: The Arizona Cardinals have put themselves in a position where

274
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 14: now they can actually go after high upside, high potential

275
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 14: players rather than just trying to get competent baseline starters.

276
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 14: Because they have Dalvin Thompson and Klays Campbell. We talked

277
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 14: about that defensive line, Darius Robinson's coming back, because they

278
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 14: signed Josh Sweat, It's not like they're desperate for good.

279
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 14: You know, they can really go after guys who like

280
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 14: Walter Nolan and Well Johnson could both be the best

281
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 14: at their position in the draft.

282
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 6: That is part of the analysis on the Mina Chimes

283
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 6: Show featuring Lenny And you look at it, Paul, You

284
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 6: look at the depth now at defensive line, you look

285
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 6: at the death at cornerback, and are we gonna see

286
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 6: Walter on the field. Yes, we're gonna see Will Johnson

287
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: on the field. Yes, but maybe not starting, maybe not

288
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 6: playing eighty percent of the defensive snats because of just

289
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 6: how load of those respective rooms are. And as we

290
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 6: hear it all the time, JG says, you got to

291
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 6: earn your spot. You're not just be handed anything, despite

292
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 6: where you might have heard your name called.

293
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting we're gonna hear from Dave Sears,

294
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals assistant GM this week. One of the questions I

295
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: asked him was, you know, the ap sort of rap

296
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 4: story on the draft for the Cardinals when something like

297
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: this the opening line. The Cardinals weren't scared to roll

298
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: the dice on a few polarizing defensive prospects. Cardinals front

299
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: office does not consider Walter Nolan and Will Johnson a risk,

300
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 4: does not consider those guys a roll of the dice.

301
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: They are very convicted on both guys. But to your point,

302
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: and Drew can agree or disagree, the best way, the

303
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: most effective way to motivate in professional sports is job security.

304
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: And for the first time, probably on the defensive side

305
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: of the ball, you can be a really good player

306
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: and at risk of not getting a job not getting

307
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: a spot in the final fifty three. So that's got

308
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: to be the rising tide of competition that's gonna lift

309
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: everyone on that side of the ball.

310
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 6: There are twelve defensive linemen in that room after the

311
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 6: three days of the draft, plus adding one undrafted rookie

312
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 6: free agent, there is going to be a lot of competition.

313
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 6: Speaking of the d line room, more about Walter Nolan,

314
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 6: what he brings, and we hear from the man himself

315
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 6: as we continue. It's the Cardinals Red Sea Report. Craig

316
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,080

00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: Walter Nolan, number two in blue, you cannot miss him,

321
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: explodes off that line comes on the ground. Sellers puts

322
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: all ten and all this jumped on it.

323
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 6: It's recovered by by Nolan.

324
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: Sellers at trouble hit and sack back at the forty

325
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: two by Nolan, gobbled up by Walter Nolan. Boy Walter

326
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: Nolan with a sack a fumble recovery and a tackle

327
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: for los What play by Nolan to crab him at

328
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: the ankles and sack them?

329
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 12: This is why so many people talked about what his

330
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 12: presence could be.

331
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 7: The ball's out at the end of the play and

332
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 7: all miss has recovered.

333
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: Walter Nolan has the fumble.

334
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: But Nolan, Walter Nolan another tackle for loss tunnel screamed

335
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: up as the line of scrimmage.

336
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: Walter Nolan is everywhere.

337
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 6: I've heard a lot of Dave Pash in that montage there,

338
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 6: of course college football ESPN, the voice of the Arizona Cardinals.

339
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 6: Hopefully Paul we hear a lot of day Patch describing

340
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 6: Walter Nolan in an Arizona Cardinals uniform that way, no doubt.

341
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: I mean, can I just daydream for a minute based

342
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 4: on the lack of talent and depth on the defensive

343
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: front the last couple of years, injury and otherwise. I mean,

344
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: if you're running Darius Robin and Walter Nolan out there

345
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 4: together and then in comes Dalvin Tomlinson and Koalais Campbell,

346
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: wait a minute, you guys come out for a couple

347
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 4: of plays. Here's Justin Jones and Balall Nichols and then

348
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: you know what, here's a two couple of hungry guys

349
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 4: in the sideline. They want their reps to get after it.

350
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: Dante still's an LJ.

351
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 6: Collier.

352
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 4: That's a really deep d line room. All of a sudden,

353
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: that's eight deep right there, Drew. And we know that

354
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: this coaching staff likes to rotate. Yeah, it's gonna be

355
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: hard to find playing time for everyone. Again, that's a

356
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: good problem to have here in April. Things tend to

357
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: work themselves out once you get to week one. But

358
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: there is no question that that was a target in

359
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 4: the offseason as far as the defensive front was concerned.

360
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you're still talking about young guys, not that

361
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 9: you didn't even mention as potential pass rushers as well.

362
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 9: So that's the other thing that you look at this

363
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 9: and you say, now they have the versatility, right. We

364
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 9: saw a lot of the five man fronts in the

365
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 9: past with the Arizona Cardinals because you're just trying to

366
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 9: plug up gaps, right, You're just trying to get bodies

367
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 9: there to give us a fighting chance. Now you can

368
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 9: get back and say, okay, who's our best for right now?

369
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 9: Who wants to rotate? Hey, you need you know a

370
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 9: little bit of win, come on out. You keep that

371
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 9: rotation fresh, you keep them coming in, and all of

372
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 9: a sudden, okay, let's play off of each other. You

373
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 9: feed off of that energy and you get that rolling.

374
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 9: It allows for a more simplistic approach of what's going on.

375
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 9: This is your gap, go win, you're one on one.

376
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 9: Do all of these different things as opposed to trying

377
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 9: to manufacture pressure and blint bring blitzes, bring guys, adding

378
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 9: more guys into it. And from a quarterback perspective, when

379
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 9: you're doing things like that, you know that when you're

380
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 9: allocating more resources to the blitz and the rush, there's

381
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 9: less guys in the back end.

382
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 6: To that point, we had a chance. Paul and I

383
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 6: did lights on Friday speak with Cardinals Ring of Honor

384
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 6: legend and former Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson on Cardinals Cover two,

385
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 6: and he talked about just that drew as far as

386
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 6: someone like a Walter Nolan and what that can do

387
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 6: not just to get after the quarterback, but also help

388
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 6: those guys in the secondary.

389
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 15: Or front coverage lines. It really creates habit for the

390
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 15: quarterback because the quarterback has to read out the whole

391
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 15: thing as opposed to knowing where blitz is coming from,

392
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 15: and he may have a sight or hot on one

393
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 15: certain side. It can get rid of it quick and

394
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 15: the pressure never gets on them, so he'll never get

395
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 15: phased by that pressure.

396
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: That's why Kurt Warren always loved the place exactly. He

397
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: loved it.

398
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 15: He loved it. But when you have a four man

399
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 15: rush and you're playing max coverage behind your four man rush,

400
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 15: those windows are getting taken care of, whether a zone

401
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 15: or man. That quarterback can't sit back there one two

402
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 15: three and then let it go. It's one two three,

403
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 15: maybe that window was open and then hopefully Josh Sweat's

404
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 15: coming in from his back stripsack.

405
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 6: You rush four and all of a sudden, seven are

406
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 6: in coverage, and those are a lot of bodies that

407
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 6: all of a sudden. If you're the quarterback, Drew, you're

408
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 6: got to figure out, right, where are my guys? Where

409
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 6: are my windows? And Datub's point, you're not gonna have

410
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 6: a lot of time back there to think about it.

411
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a sheer numbers game. Sometimes we over complicate

412
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 9: the quarterback position. You don't need to where's how many

413
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 9: guys are they allocating to the rush, how many guys

414
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 9: are they dropping in coverage? And usually to Adeb's point

415
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 9: as well, wherever you're bringing pressure from you typically see

416
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 9: a coverage rotation to that side. Right, So quarterbacks look

417
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 9: at safeties they understand what's going on. Through film study

418
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 9: and analysis, you start to understand, Okay, are they bringing five,

419
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 9: are they bringing six, or are they bringing all out

420
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 9: pressure and bringing seven. There was times the Arizona Cardinals

421
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 9: had to bring seven try to force the ball out

422
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 9: of the quarterback's hands. Now, when you're in the Super Bowl,

423
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 9: ask Patrick Mahomes what that feels like. They only have

424
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 9: four rush and seven are now in coverage. And you

425
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 9: can change coverage, right, You can drop safeties in, you

426
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 9: can insert and do different stuff. You can stay too

427
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 9: high safeties and do all these different things. It gives

428
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 9: an extreme advantage to the defense when you don't have

429
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 9: to bring more guys to the party than you need

430
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 9: because you're sitting there and assessing it, and those windows

431
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 9: they open and they close so fast in this league

432
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 9: that you need the anticipation to throw the ball. But

433
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 9: if you're getting hit in the back of the head

434
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 9: before you even know it, say where did that guy

435
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 9: even come from? Because as a true quarterback, when you're

436
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 9: assessing things in this league, your eyes have to be

437
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 9: on that second and third level. You can't watch the

438
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 9: rush and play in this league until you get hit third, fourth, fifth,

439
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 9: and sixth time. And I don't care who you are,

440
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 9: you can be the greatest quarterback of all time. And

441
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 9: if you consistently are getting hit, all of a sudden

442
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 9: you start looking around, those eyes drop, You're chasing ghosts,

443
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 9: you're evading the pocket. Your accuracy is affected. There is

444
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 9: no replacement for being able to get pressure with four.

445
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 6: Defensive coordinator Nick Rolis's job just got a whole lot easier.

446
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 6: My guess is Paul, yeah, he I'm sure he likes

447
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 6: to scheme it up at times and kind of be

448
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 6: a little bit exotic. But if you don't have to,

449
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 6: I mean, let's work smarter, not harder.

450
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 5: Here.

451
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: You know what the Eagles did in the Super Bowl,

452
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: It's almost been the exact opposite for Nick Rolis the

453
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 4: last couple of years. How often was he ever able

454
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 4: to really bring four? If the Eagles went the entire

455
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: Super Bowl never rush more than four, and they were

456
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: still able to hit and harass Patrick Mahomes, and that's

457
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 4: how they are able to win and hoist the Lombardi. Well, then,

458
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 4: how often was Nick Ross ever afforded that luxury? So

459
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: how different could this defense look if he has the

460
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 4: dudes all of a sudden to get away with rushing four.

461
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

462
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 9: Well, and I think the other thing is sometimes it's

463
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 9: not even just rushing four, it's being able to stop

464
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 9: the run with four. That's the other thing that I

465
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 9: don't think we give enough credit to because we're always

466
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 9: talking about how can we pressure the quarterback? What can

467
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 9: we do to make the quarterback uncomfortable? What can we

468
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 9: do to get him off of the spot. Well, what

469
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 9: do you do when you get a tackle for loss?

470
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 9: Because Walter Nolan is jumping through his gap and now

471
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 9: he has a second and twelve. A second and twelve

472
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 9: from a play callers perspective is a nightmare. It's an

473
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 9: absolute nightmare because then you're okay, let's line up again,

474
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 9: here's my four. They're coming after you. When you have

475
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 9: gap control and you can do all these things and

476
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 9: stop the run with only four and you don't have

477
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 9: to bring pressure. I mean, that's why we see Buddha

478
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 9: back in that Star position. Right, he's able to come

479
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 9: out of center field, read, react, and be the special

480
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 9: type of athlete that he is now do that with

481
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 9: four as opposed to five, and you can cover up

482
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 9: some of those gaps on that set level. It just

483
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 9: makes everything else more simplistic, and guys can do their

484
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 9: job better when you have the presence of only four

485
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 9: on that front.

486
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 6: With Walter Nolan, Ole Miss the number one run defense

487
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 6: in college football. So again, he knows how to stop

488
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 6: the run. He knows to get after the quarterback. Paul,

489
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 6: You and I had a chance to speak with him

490
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 6: immediately after the introductory press conference on Friday, and again,

491
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 6: someone that is anxious to get the playbook, as we

492
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 6: heard on his phone call, but someone that is ready

493
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 6: to get to work.

494
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, he appreciates the moment. You could see it in

495
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: his eyes, right, we heard in his voice. In fact,

496
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 4: let's hear a little bit of that. I know, Craig.

497
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 4: You started by asking him about his journey.

498
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 6: You mentioned that it's kind of hard to kind of

499
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 6: put it in words at the moment right now, but

500
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 6: the work that you put in to get to this point,

501
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 6: I know it's it's not over with, it's now starting

502
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 6: a brand new chapter. But can you appreciate where you

503
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 6: are right now based off where you were?

504
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 8: Oh?

505
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 16: Yeah, man, definitely. You know, I feel like out of

506
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 16: became a whole different person within my three years that college. Really,

507
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 16: like from the time I got there until now, I'm

508
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 16: a complete different person.

509
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 6: You have mentioned wanting to be the next Aaron Donald,

510
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: which I think is a great thing. I mean, it

511
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 6: shows your confidence level. It's one thing to say it,

512
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 6: it's another thing to actually go out and do it.

513
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 6: So what do you have to do to kind of

514
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 6: prove everyone right about why there are and the Cardinals

515
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 6: made you the selection at sixteen?

516
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 16: Really just go out there and put in the work

517
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 16: every day. And I fight the work that defand don't

518
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 16: see it's gonna shine on Sunday and they gonna love it.

519
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: So we had to deal with Aaron Donald twice a

520
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: year his whole career. Okay, he was a headache to

521
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 4: say the least. Oh yeah, what is it about his

522
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 4: game that you admire or respect when you watch his film?

523
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 16: Really just how he approached the game, Like from the

524
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 16: time he walk out the tunnel, you already tell he

525
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 16: kind of already in that mode, Like you could tell

526
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 16: like a switch flip, and then it's like, I know,

527
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 16: he go out there the different person. I feel like

528
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 16: that's kind of like me a little bit too, and

529
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 16: I'm just ready to get to work.

530
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 6: There's nothing small about the numbers you put up last

531
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 6: season at Ole Miss as far as getting after whether

532
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 6: it's the quarterback with a running back behind the line

533
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 6: of scrimmage, how would you describe your game to Arizona

534
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 6: Cardinals fans?

535
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 16: I would just say, you know, yeah, I ain't gonna

536
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 16: see me celebrate too many times, but I'm gonna get

537
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 16: you out my all like weekend and week out every game,

538
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 16: and they's just me, and that's just the person I am.

539
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 16: Y'all gonna be able to pull on one of the

540
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 16: most competitive people out there on the field.

541
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: You're gonna hear this a lot. As far as those players,

542
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 6: those cardinal teammates of yours, in that defensive line room,

543
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 6: it's very deep and it's got a lot of veteran

544
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 6: leadership in there. Kalais Campbell, Dalvin Tomlinson. You're coming in

545
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 6: but at the same time anxious to get started. But

546
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 6: how anxious are you to learn from guys that have

547
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 6: been there and done that Kalays is two decades worth.

548
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

549
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 16: Man, I just can't wait to get here and ask

550
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 16: some of these questions like how you been in the lead.

551
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 16: My real first question will be how have you been

552
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 16: in the leaders? Like give me the sauce, like I

553
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 16: need to know, And that's really I just want to

554
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 16: know everything in the process. I'm trying to figure it

555
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 16: out and whatever I like, I added to my process

556
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 16: and keep it going.

557
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 4: Are you one of those guys who competes all the

558
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: time in the weight room, you compete on the practice field?

559
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: Are you that sort of mentality?

560
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm kind of a sore loser, So, like I

561
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 16: know there's gonna be some rough edges, especially when me

562
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 16: first getting here, but I'm gonna be trying my best

563
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 16: to beat them.

564
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 6: In everything actions, over words. And I think you're gonna

565
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: get to know Walter Nolan more on the field, because

566
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 6: again you can you can hear how chill he is.

567
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 6: At the same time, Drew, It's okay, we need to

568
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 6: we need to we need games to begin in order

569
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 6: to see what Walter is all about.

570
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 9: I'm old Paul, what's sauce? When he's talking about sauce,

571
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 9: what is that what does that mean? You're you're in

572
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 9: the locker room, you're you know, what's going on? Can

573
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 9: you translate that for us?

574
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: It's sort of thing. It's sort of a short for

575
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: hot sauce, you know, you know, you know, like you know,

576
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 4: like mertrand Barry back in theyve little hot sauce on it,

577
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 4: a little move, little intensity, little you know. What's interesting

578
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 4: is is when we asked him about what he admires

579
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 4: in the game from Aaron Donald, he cited the whole

580
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 4: flip the switch mentality. Well, he's pretty soft spoken, but

581
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 4: his game film is really loud. I mean, he's a

582
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 4: totally different dude based on watching him play than he

583
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 4: is in the interview room. So it's interesting that if

584
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: he has an in comma with Aaron Donald and he

585
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: just becomes a you know, a totally different person on

586
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 4: game day, and then for him to cite the work

587
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 4: behind the scenes. You hope that is true. You hope

588
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 4: that materializes because from all accounts, he has all the

589
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: talent in the world. If he does put in the

590
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: work behind the scenes that no one sees, if he's

591
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 4: one of those guys look out.

592
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think you start to identify what the

593
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 9: scheme is of why he wants to be Aaron Donald.

594
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 9: When you're the three technique, that means you're on the

595
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 9: outside of the guard. It's really hard to slide protection

596
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 9: that way. That's why Aaron Donald saw a lot of

597
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 9: one on one. You try to slide a center over

598
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 9: there to help out or do all of these different things,

599
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 9: it creates a schematic nightmare offensively, So that's why Aaron

600
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 9: Donald had the success. When you're right on the center,

601
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 9: you can slide there.

602
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 10: In double team.

603
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 6: We will wait until September to see Walter Nolan the

604
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 6: third in a Cardinals uniform. The question is will that

605
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 6: first game be at home or on the road. Be

606
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,400

00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 6: I need to ask, Drew, are you okay with talking

623
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 6: about a Michigan Wolverine here for the next I don't

624
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 6: know ten minutes or so.

625
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 5: Are you okay that?

626
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, we can talk to Ohio State guys too, a

627
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 9: couple of them, but no, Look, uh, I am far

628
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,239
Speaker 9: removed from my Michigan Michigan State Day rivalries. Actually, one

629
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 9: of my best friends is the wide receiver coach at Michigan.

630
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 9: So I have buried that hatchet and had to very

631
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 9: very quickly because I never beat Michigan.

632
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 10: So we can move on and talk about it.

633
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: Okay.

634
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 6: See, I always remember the losses, you don't remember the wins.

635
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: Well. Will Johnson was a top twenty recruit out of

636
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 4: the Detroit A Gross Points South in His dad went

637
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 4: to the same high school as well, and so there's

638
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: a long lineage of Michigan history, both growing up and

639
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 4: playing college ball there. But I tell you what, it

640
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 4: is amazing to see some of the clips him going

641
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: against Marvin Harrison Junior in those two big games.

642
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 6: Interesting. His sister works at Michigan, but she went to

643
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 6: school at Michigan State.

644
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 9: She's the smart one in the family. Then we can

645
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 9: identify that for what it is. And no, look Will

646
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 9: Johnson again, as I talked about earlier in the show,

647
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 9: you want guys that are going to go out and compete.

648
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 9: You want guys, as we sat in there and listen

649
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 9: to Patrick Peterson a couple of weeks ago in his retirement,

650
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 9: that are going to compete every single time and have

651
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 9: such a high opinion of themselves when they're out there

652
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 9: that they want that matchup. They want that ability to

653
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 9: go out there and say, I'm going to shut you down,

654
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 9: and that's what I'm going to do.

655
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 10: That's my job. We can x this guy out. Will

656
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 10: Johnson has that.

657
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 9: Capability, He has the ability to go out there, he

658
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 9: has that swagger about him. He's played in a high

659
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 9: level for multiple ye years now, and what's going to

660
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 9: be a high draft pick. Now he wasn't for whatever reason,

661
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 9: but the misfortune that he had is exactly what this

662
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 9: team needs to fill that role, and he can do

663
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 9: it from day one. You talked about he might not

664
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 9: be a day one starter. I would plug and play

665
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 9: him right away and have no worries about it, because

666
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 9: young guys have to get out there. You have to

667
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 9: have experience. It happens so fast. But he is a

668
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 9: cerebral guy that wants to get out there. And I

669
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 9: love those guys that have that chip on their shoulder

670
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 9: that think they should be there.

671
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 4: Well, i'll tell you what didn't help was Adam Schefter

672
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 4: tweeting out Thursday night, round one of the draft, and

673
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: I'm quoting Will Johnson Junior has a knee issue that

674
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: has concerned some NFL teams. Now, he was adamant. His

675
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: knee has not been an issue for two years. He's

676
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: had some other issues, hamstring, full at shoulder, you know,

677
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 4: a variety of things. But in terms of the knee,

678
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 4: that is something that he was confused about and later

679
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: in the conference call said he was angry about because

680
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: he thought that was misinformation.

681
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 6: How many times, Paul did we talk about Will Johnson

682
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 6: specifically to the Cardinals at sixteen because of the cornerback

683
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 6: and hey, do you have that next Patrick Peterson, someone

684
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 6: who can shut down half the field. Yet here he

685
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 6: is available at forty seven, and certainly Will Johnson on

686
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 6: the conference call now, highly motivated, Definitely very frustrating.

687
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: And know it's just one of those things that motivating

688
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: more than anything else.

689
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 8: I know what type of player are you, am man?

690
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 8: And I'm just happy to be where I am now.

691
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 16: So I'm get my own Arizona.

692
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 9: They gonna get a great.

693
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 6: Player, apartments deat He mentioned that he was not worried

694
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 6: about the knee at all. To your point, Paul, it's

695
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 6: been two years. The knee surgery was in twenty twenty two.

696
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 6: Now he only played six games this season, but it

697
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 6: had nothing to do with the knee. So the talent

698
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 6: is there, but everyone knows your best ability, Drew is.

699
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 6: Availability wasn't quite there for Will Johnson this past season,

700
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 6: but nothing that's scared off the Cardinals from selecting him

701
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 6: in the second round.

702
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

703
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 9: Look, I mean turf toe is what it is. With

704
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 9: If you can't run as a cornerback, it's really hard

705
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 9: and you have to go out there.

706
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 10: And compete each and every week.

707
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 9: And in the Big Ten, you've got to be able

708
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 9: to run with their number one wide receiver. You've also

709
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 9: got to be able to make tackles because it's a

710
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 9: physical conference if you can't do that. And everybody knew

711
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 9: that Will Johnson had his eyes on this NFL draft.

712
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 9: He was coming out. I mean, he was going to

713
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 9: be a top pick. And then all of a sudden,

714
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 9: you throw a question mark here or a red flag there,

715
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 9: and again that is a misfortunate thing for him and

716
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 9: very unfortunate for him, but his response just shows the

717
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 9: maturity he has right hearing that playback, and look, you

718
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 9: get passed up. It doesn't matter where you get drafted,

719
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 9: as long as you get drafted and you go to

720
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 9: a good situation. We saw a bunch of people go

721
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 9: higher than expected, lower than expected. It's the crapshoot of

722
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 9: the NFL draft. If you were to do this draft

723
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 9: again tomorrow, all over again, it could look completely different.

724
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 9: But all that matters is what happens that first go

725
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 9: around in an actual draft. And to get Will Johnson

726
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 9: in this building to be able to do that, I

727
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 9: think it's instrumental because he has as that high level,

728
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 9: number one corner of capability.

729
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: And to your point, look, he really did peak in

730
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. That campaign they won the National Championship.

731
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: He was the defensive MVP in the National title game.

732
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 4: So at that point, what more does he have to prove? Now,

733
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 4: He's a competitive dude, and injuries curtailed a lot of

734
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: his final season in Michigan. But to me, if you

735
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 4: really want to find out about Will Johnson, go back

736
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 4: to twenty twenty three and he had a stellar campaign

737
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 4: and helped lead the Wolverines into the National championship.

738
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 6: Will Johnson heard his name called in the second round.

739
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 6: In the third round, it was Jordan Birch, the selection

740
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 6: of the Arizona Cardinals with the seventy eighth overall pick

741
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 6: and edge rusher out of Oregon six' four two seventy

742
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,560

806
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,240

Speaker 4: That i'm leaning a little bit extremely. EARLY i don't

830
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 4: Think i've ever named a name before the month Of.

831
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,480

832
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 4: year might just Be Cody. Simon at this, rate we'll

833
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 4: see not too much of a reach.

834
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 6: There paul uh six two five team, captain described as

835
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 6: the ultimate team guy but also, productive drew led the

836
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 6: team in, tackles had twelve tackles for lost seven, sacks

837
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 6: seven passes, Defense so he's productive and you put him

838
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 6: in there in the middle again day three. Selection it's

839
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 6: a little bit, harder but there is a little bit

840
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 6: of a need there inside linebacker right now for This cardinals.

841
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 9: Team, YEAH i, mean it's a prototypical. Linebacker if you're

842
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 9: going to create a middle, linebacker this is what this looks.

843
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 9: Like and the track record that exists In Ohio state

844
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 9: gives you confidence that he is going to be prepared

845
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 9: and make that.

846
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 10: Jump.

847
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 9: Right you look at some of these universities that translate

848
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 9: extremely well to THE, nfl and you look at the

849
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 9: defense that he was. Running it was a complicated. Defense

850
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 9: he's getting everybody lined. Up, again that's what the responsibility

851
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 9: of the mike linebacker. Is you set the, front you

852
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 9: make the strength. Call every thing is predicated on. That

853
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 9: As Adrian wilson was talking, about the front has to

854
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 9: match the, coverage and it all starts with the middle

855
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 9: linebacker making that call of where's the tight, end where's

856
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 9: formation strength as we look to, this and then everything

857
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 9: kind of flows from. There so a guy that's been,

858
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 9: there done that is going to be the green. Dot,

859
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 9: eventually hopefully it happens sooner rather than later because everybody

860
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 9: plays off of. It and as we were talking about

861
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 9: in the, break hopefully it's very simple because of all

862
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 9: of the great pieces that are in place around.

863
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 6: Him how do you describe a middle? LINEBACKER i Thought

864
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 6: Cody simon had the perfect answer when he was asked

865
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 6: just that on his conference.

866
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 5: CALL i think as a, linebacker you need to have great,

867
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 5: instincts AND i think that's my biggest. STRENGTH i think

868
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 5: having great instincts and being able to tackle, well and you,

869
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 5: know just being a great leader of communicators is vital

870
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 5: for a good. Defense SO i think your middle linebackering have,

871
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 5: that you can have a middle.

872
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 6: Linebacker So Cody simon the fourth round, selection one hundred

873
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 6: and fifteenth overall his. Teammates in the fifth, round The

874
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 6: cardinals made the one hundred and seventy fourth Selection Denzel burke,

875
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 6: cornerback again loading up on, defense and Then Hayden connor

876
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 6: selected in the sixth. Round, paul and here's someone that,

877
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 6: yeah has the, size has all what you would want

878
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 6: an interior offensive, lineman and now all of a sudden

879
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 6: it gets thrown into the mix at either right guard

880
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 6: or left, guard depending on what you want to do

881
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 6: With Evan. Brown but there is a spot open on

882
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 6: that offensive line depending on where you Put Evan, brown

883
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 6: whether you keep him on the left or move him

884
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 6: to the.

885
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 4: Right when The cardinals Selected Hayden, CONNOR i thought of Bo.

886
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 4: Limmer you're, like, okay What he's the starting center for

887
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 4: The rams after being selected in round six last year

888
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 4: out Of. Arkansas he came into camp and beat out

889
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 4: a three, year fifty million dollar free agent for the

890
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 4: starting center spot because he had a ton of experience

891
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 4: in THE. Sec AND i look At Hayden connor AND

892
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 4: i look at a dude who started what forty plus

893
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 4: games in the last three, years and he just went

894
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 4: all sixteen games last year without allowing a on a

895
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 4: pass block over six hundred passing snaps there By Pro Football,

896
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 4: FOCUS i, mean this guy has a lot of experience

897
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 4: and a lot of big games against the best of

898
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 4: the best in the college. Game if you're looking for

899
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 4: one guy to come off the radar and challenge for

900
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: a starting, spot, YEAH i agree with, You Hayden. Connor

901
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 4: there is a spot, open and he might make a

902
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 4: run at.

903
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 6: It before we get your thoughts on, Him drew how

904
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 6: about we hear from the general, Manager Monty Austin ford

905
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 6: on Why hayden was the selection in round.

906
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 11: Six he's a, big strong, guy he can get. Movement

907
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 11: texas runs the ball a, Lot he's played well in

908
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 11: that system and he holds up really well in Passbro

909
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 11: SO i think he's a good fit for what we

910
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 11: try to.

911
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 6: Do played a lot of, games played a lot of

912
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 6: big time. Games one of the games he played was

913
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 6: Against Ohio states in The College football semi. Finals and,

914
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 6: now all of a, sudden that position coach For Ohio

915
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 6: state on the offensive line is his position coach here

916
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 6: with The Arizona cardinals And justin. Fry so, again you

917
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 6: figure with a new offensive line, coach you have somewhat

918
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 6: and that you would well who you would. Want but

919
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 6: your input is going to be needed when you're looking

920
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 6: to come in as a new face in AN o line.

921
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 10: Room, yeah.

922
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 9: Exactly when you're an offensive line, coach you've got to

923
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 9: take command because you've got five. Guys you're accountable, for

924
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 9: five guys that have to be on the same. Page

925
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 9: they have to, eat, sleep and breathe the same. WAY i,

926
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 9: mean those guys are so habit forming in their routine

927
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 9: of what.

928
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 10: They look, like how they, operate how.

929
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,479
Speaker 9: They function and a guy like this and you said

930
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 9: it also earlier in the show played some center. Too

931
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 9: the versatility of, that because you're only taking so many

932
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 9: guys to game day and if something, happens being able

933
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 9: to have a backup center that's in the game or

934

Speaker 9: game or if he just takes over because of a,

936
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 9: necessity the versatility there is so. Valuable and as you

937
