Do you 25 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: remember way back when a former now former Arizona Cardinal 26 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: on a Cereal box? Testing your memory here, Btrain, I 27 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: tend to recall a certain player having his name and 28 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: lightness on a Cereal box and not sure how good 29 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 1: the cereal was, but you know, the guy was pretty handsome, 30 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: all I know, And that's all I know. Okay, m J. 31 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: Jerry call this quarterback Jake's Flakes. Jake's Flakes. Yes, And there, 32 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: in fact is a box of Jake's Flakes in the 33 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: office over by our over by our boss, Darren Urban 34 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: has a box of this Jakes milking. No, no, no, 35 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't even know how old that box is. I 36 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: do remember fluty flakes, and of course everyone knows about 37 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: wheaties that that was the goal of every athlete, right 38 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: be trained back in the day, as we all dated 39 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: ourselves here. Everyone wanted to be on the cover of 40 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: Wheatie's box, no doubt, I mean, because it was it 41 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: was a pinnacle. You had reached the top of popularity 42 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: if you had your your likeness and your image on 43 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: that on that box, and it was the sign of 44 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: health and keep physical fitness. And so everybody wanted to 45 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: be associated with that ram because champions were generally associated 46 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: with that. So who doesn't want to be a champion 47 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: if you play major sports, So that they worked hand 48 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: in hand back in the day. All right. Speaking of Hopkins, 49 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: he had hinted earlier this offseason MJ about potentially changing 50 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: his number. He wears number ten, and it looks like 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: he'll still wear number ten. Is Earlier this week, the 52 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals announced a handful of number changes, but DeAndre 53 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: Hopkins was not on that list. We know about Buddha Baker, 54 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna wear number three, Chase Edmonds no longer twenty nine, 55 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: he'll be number two, Byron Murphy no longer thirty three. 56 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 1: He is number seven. So we're seeing these players take 57 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: advantage of this rule MJ that you can wear single 58 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: digits at certain positions. Well, considering hop he I want 59 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: to say he wore number ten in Houston. So again, 60 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: if you're a player, you have to purchase the ones 61 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: that are a stroll in the shelves. Now Baker's changed 62 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: his third time and Edmonds may not have a lot 63 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: out there like Byron Murphy. But hey, listen, whatever they feel, 64 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, you feel good, you play good. So it's 65 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: a new rule and players are taking advantage of there. 66 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: There is another change, Betrand, and don't take this personally, 67 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: but Rochard Lawrence will no longer be wearing number ninety two. 68 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: And there's a good reason why he is now going 69 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: to wear ninety It's his number that he wore at LSU. 70 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: It was not available last year because Themata Peco. Yet 71 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: ninety two will be worn this season. I want to 72 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: get your thoughts because it is going to be a 73 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: brand new Arizona Cardinal edge rusher. Victor de Mucage has 74 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: been assigned number ninety two. Do you endorse this move 75 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: as far as the ninety two being carried on the 76 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: tradition that you so established. Well, I'll just say this, 77 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: if you're going to wear that number, you better be 78 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: able to get out the quarterback years. I don't want 79 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: people riding the pine with the number ninety two. That 80 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: number is not to be on the sideline soaking up 81 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: gatorade and all that kind of stuff. It's meant to 82 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: be out there on the field, getting after quarterbacks and 83 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: making big plays. It's associated with greatness and handsomeness. So 84 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: if you're going to wear that number, you better be 85 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: good at what you do and you better be a 86 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: good looking studge. So hopefully he fitched the bill on 87 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: both both levels, and we'll see how that a's out 88 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: here once the season gets underway. Is there a significance 89 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: behind that number for you? Ninety two? Because I actually 90 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: went into a rabbits hole, so to speak, because I 91 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: was kind of looking up and you know, you Google 92 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: searched someone's name and at Notre Dame. Is it not 93 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: true that you wore thirteen? Thirteen is my numbers, my 94 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: favorite number and lucky for me. But ninety two was 95 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: the number that I was given when I was in Denver. 96 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: Remember I was out of the league for a year, 97 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: and when I got back in, it originally given me 98 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: sixty nine to wear, and uh, you know, sixty nine 99 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: was a very good year, you know, shout out but 100 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: I didn't think that it was becoming a defensive lineman. 101 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: And so one I was able to impress the staff 102 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: enough they actually gave me a legit pensive line number 103 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: ninety two one that the guy that had worn it 104 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: before he wasn't with the team anymore. So it was 105 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: just kind of a hair you can wear this number. 106 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: And I just said, I'm gonna make this number one 107 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: that people will never forget, and once it's associated with me, 108 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: it'll be one that people will want to wear because 109 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to make it as positive of an impactful 110 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: type number as I can make it, and it just 111 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: represents the second act of my career. Well, I think 112 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: you certainly did that in a Arizona Cardinals uniform. Some 113 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: other draft picks, Avin Collins will wear twenty five. And 114 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: here's an interesting one, Rondel Moore eighty five. And as 115 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: our executive producer Jim On one hundred pointed out earlier 116 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: in the week, if you have a vintage Rob More 117 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: Jersey MJ, you can break that out. Everything's fine. You 118 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: got more on the back, Yeah, and enjoy covin Rob 119 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: Moore and you know, maybe you can look at Jerry 120 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: McGuire and Tidwell. But yeah, I mean eighty five. Usually 121 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: you're sharing to see more receivers going the teens. Now 122 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: you can go single digits, but you know, eighty five 123 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: was available, and we'll see how he plays, because I'm 124 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: looking forward to watch him and some of the newcomers. 125 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: AJ Green, he's always worn eighteen. He'll continue to wear eighteen. 126 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson sixty one, Matt Prator five, Colt McCoy number twelve, 127 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: and Malcolm Butler. He was given the option and he 128 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: will wear number twenty one. It's a number that he 129 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: has worn throughout his entire career with the Patriots and 130 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: with the Titans, and number twenty one is available with 131 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson moving on to the Minnesota Vikings. Speaking of numbers, 132 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: Tay Gowan another newcomer to the Arizona Cardinals, the sixth 133 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: round draft pick out of Central Florida. He will be 134 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: wearing thirty two, and he understands the significance of that number. 135 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: Thirty two. Actually, thirty two chose me. I didn't really 136 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: get to pick my number, so I want to argue 137 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: whatever number they gave me, I'm thankful for the number 138 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: thirty two. I'm gonna live up to the legs because 139 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: I know a lot of great players have put that 140 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: number on, So it's my time. Tyran Matthew and Buddha 141 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: Baker both were thirty two. Now Gowan did wear twenty 142 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: three at Central Florida, so it's just a reverse. So 143 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: perhaps again be training, you'd like to say, if you 144 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: look good, you feel good, you play good. So these numbers, 145 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: it is a big deal for a lot of players. 146 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: Most definitely it's a big deal because numbers are what 147 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: you associate your career with and and for these men, 148 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: they understand that with certain teams, certain numbers have different meanings. 149 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: And to understand that right before you even step on 150 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: the field, I think that's big. And yeah, I know 151 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: to some people it seems frivolous, but it's a big deal. 152 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: It's an identity, it's it's part of you are and 153 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: what you represent at this level. So I think it's 154 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: extremely important that guys go out there and kiel really 155 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: good about every aspect of their of their game, including 156 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: number that they have on their back, because as I said, 157 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: you look good, you feel good, you feel good, you 158 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: play good, and if you play good, they play good. 159 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get a roster. That is true, 160 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: especially with some of these single digits with numbers or 161 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: with positions that you don't typically associate, especially whether it's 162 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: running back, linebacker, and then the backfield, you've got Kyle 163 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: Murray and Chase Edmonds one two. Literally it's a one 164 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: two punch in the backfield for the Cardinals offense. And 165 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: then what Connor's wearing six? Connor, Yeah, James Connor is 166 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: wearing number six. Now. He I went back and looked 167 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: he wore thirty with the or thirty six with the 168 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's or thirty with the Pittsburgh Steelers. So but he 169 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: had twenty four penn State two plus four or six. 170 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he's going to six. I don't know. 171 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to trying to connect some dots here. MJ. 172 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's a big deal and we've got 173 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: lofty expectations. And I love the I love putting the 174 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: pressure on Victor B. Tram because I hope that if 175 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: he has doesn't reach out to you, you that you 176 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: at least reach out to him and understand the significance 177 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: of what he has been given. With the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, 178 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: and I understand that for those guys that are rookies, 179 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: they just want to come in and make an impact. 180 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: Whatever number they have on their back, they just want 181 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: to go out and play well. And if they can 182 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: get a number that they can associate with and feel 183 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: good about, that's just the bonus. But you just want 184 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: to come in and not be the weak link of 185 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: the team, and if he can accomplish that, then that's 186 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: a huge each step in the right direction, and of 187 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: course setting a tone with that jersey number. It's it's 188 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: it's something that I'm very proud of and hopefully the 189 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: men who will continue to wear it after me will 190 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: look at it and where it would have sense of 191 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: pride and know that that number represents success and it 192 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: represents winning, and that's what I want those to be 193 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: able to do, and that that uniform is too half 194 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: assess personally and for the team overall to get wins 195 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: and put themselves in position and win a championship. I'm 196 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: just Clay andy leear. Aaron Brewer didn't change her numbers. Now. 197 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: I think they're pretty solid and where they're going to 198 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: his eighteen seasons. Yes, it was the same draft class 199 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: as Larry Fisher, which wears who wears number eleven. We'll 200 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: have to see if he continues to wear number eleven. 201 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: I got to give a correction because it's certainly it 202 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: was an honest mistake. But you certainly don't want to 203 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: confuse these two schools. Connor went to pitt not Penn State. 204 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: At least I didn't say went to West Virginia because 205 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: we know that rivalry between those two states. Went to 206 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: the same school as Larry Fisherald. There you go, and 207 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: we'll just have to wonder if we see no. I 208 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: will not, by the way, we will see these Arizona 209 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals in these new numbers later on this season. Win 210 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: got the schedule released coming up on Wednesday, and then 211 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: later this week these rookies will put on these numbers 212 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: for the first time. Rookie Minicamp begins on Friday, and 213 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: we'll touch on that coming up here on the Cardinals 214 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: Red Sea Report.

We're gonna get a Super Bowl ring so 226 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: big on our finger, but Joe Dog wouldn't be able 227 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: to jump over.

Zaven, Michael Bidwell, congratulations, 229 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: were so excited to make you a Cardinal. Enjoy the 230 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: moment with your family. Okay, enjoy it. All right, we're 231 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: gonna put your name in now you're welcome. Enjoy it. 232 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: That was emotional. Holy cow, brings a smile to your face. 233 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: The phone call general manager Steve Kime to first round 234 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: draft pick Zaven Collins, the owner of Michael Bidwall, on 235 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: that call as well, you could certainly hear the excitements 236 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: and the emotion and Collins's voice. The Cardinal's sixteenth overall 237 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: pick the inside linebacker who will be in town this week. 238 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: That's right. Rookie Minicamp begins on Friday, extends through the weekend. 239 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: But the first opportunity for this rookie class, including some 240 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: undrafted rookie free agents, traut guys MJ that get a 241 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: taste of what the National Football League is like, something 242 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: that last year's rookie class did not receive. Yeah, and 243 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: we know how much these guys struggle going into the season, 244 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: So you know night and day from a year ago, 245 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: and you know that's where you can make some mistakes 246 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: and go watch some film and trying to not make 247 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: the same mistakes over and over because when the veterans 248 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: get here, besides of maybe the first couple of picks, 249 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: you're not going to get these from any reps. So 250 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: this is a golden opportunity. And I'm glad that the 251 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: NFLP and the rookies are gonna be able to show 252 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: up because it's needed when it comes to the just 253 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: development and evaluating players. And again, you can make mistakes, 254 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: but don't make them too much, and just basically figuring 255 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: out where to go and where to be without an 256 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: influx of people. You know, eighty ninety guys. It's just 257 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: a small group and you get a tour of the 258 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: facility and you kind of get more little one on 259 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: one time with the coaches. This is a big weekend, 260 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: is it not? Be trained? It is a big week 261 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: because you want to just be able to get your 262 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: bear and once you get your bearings, then things can 263 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: start to slow down for you. You're already trying to 264 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: make a great first impression, and part of making that 265 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: great first impression is knowing what you're doing and know 266 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: where you're going. And so for these young guys, I 267 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: know that they come in and get themselves acclimated. I 268 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: remember that very well, and it will be very stressful 269 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: before I got to the actual facility. So I got 270 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: there and started to know the different places to go, 271 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: then I could focus in on football and get back 272 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: to the business of why I was originally drafted in 273 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the first place. And so they're just trying to get 274 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: back to normalcy as quick as they can, and once 275 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: they do that, then you'll start to see them actually 276 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: make an impact and really help the team. Yeah, it's 277 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: a chance to get your feet wet just a little 278 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: bit of what to expect. Come OTA's mini camp and 279 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: then training camp going into the regular season and the 280 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: first time that we will be able to see these 281 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: players on the field. And the one thing that has 282 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: been very clear when it comes to Collins, he is 283 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: an inside linebacker. He is a mic linebacker and that 284 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: is what he will play despite the versatility that he 285 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: has in the athletic system. Here's head Collage Cliff Kingsbury, 286 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: knowing that he has played middle linebacker, you know, in 287 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: a similar three down scheme. It won't be completely foreign 288 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: to him and that's going to help. He's a quick learner. 289 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: He's gonna get a lot of time on task, a 290 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: lot of reps. We're planning on having the rookie mini camp. 291 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: I think there's some real pluses to the history has 292 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: the position and how this all season is going to go. 293 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: I know, b train we've talked about this in the past, 294 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: but because he played the position in college and it's 295 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: not going to be a change for him as far 296 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: as what the team is going to ask him to do. 297 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: That learning curve it's always steep for rookies, but perhaps 298 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: maybe not as steep for Collins. No, it's not going 299 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: to be as steep for him and it's not gonna 300 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: be a total change in how he played. The verbage 301 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: is going to be one of those things he's going 302 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: to have to memorize and learn a new verbiage for 303 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: the defense, would coach Joseph. But as far as what 304 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: he has to do on the field, what they're asking 305 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: him to do, that's not going to change. And so 306 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: I think that's a huge leg up from him to 307 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: be productive a lot sooner when it comes to making 308 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: an impact on his defense outside of Collins, MJ. Anyone 309 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: else that you're interesting to see you up close or 310 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: either on video or just to get an idea see 311 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: for your own self as opposed to just watching these 312 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: guys on television or on film. Well, I think you 313 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: know you look at the entire rookie class. I'm definitely 314 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: Rondel Moore. I mean, I don't know how much you're 315 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: going to see him returning kicks and punts it, but 316 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: just from aute running standpoint fluidity when in catching the football, 317 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: the two cornerbacks say draft at the pass rusher. So 318 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to focus on the entire rookie class and 319 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: they can keep these guys at the facility for as 320 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: long as they want, obviously, not fifteen hours a day, 321 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: but there's also things off the field where they talk about, 322 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, make sure the dudes and don't financing, making 323 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: sure you could say no to your family and friends. 324 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: So it's more kind of a symposium to where it's 325 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: you know, it's not just football. You're now a professional, 326 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: and you better make sure you take care of your 327 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: p's and qes and so. Yeah. But I'm looking forward 328 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: to seeing the entire rookie class and we'll find out, 329 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, if there's any tryout guys, you guys that 330 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: are gonna invited, because clearly they want to flood a 331 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: couple of different positions. Those Day one and Day two 332 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: picks b train. We always kind of tend to spotlights 333 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: on those players, and we brought them up earlier in 334 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: segment one. But the edge rusher Victor, I mean, how 335 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: much are you to be paying attention to him this 336 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: entire offseason just because it's the position you played or you, 337 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: like everyone else looking at what Collins and more might 338 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: be able to do this season, Well, I want to 339 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: look at the entire class, but obviously I'm going to 340 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: pay attention to what I did, and that's what I 341 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: lock in on. That's what my job is, That's what 342 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: my business is. So of course I'm always going to 343 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: look at the guys getting after quarterbacks, and I always 344 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: gravitate to that area when it's the practice and watching 345 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: one on ones and all those type of things. Yeah, 346 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: you want to see the other guys and how they 347 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: move and what type of athletes they are. But ultimately, 348 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: whatever it is that you did, that's what you're going 349 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: to gravitate to. And yeah, I'm no different than anybody else. 350 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: I want to see him getting that turning that corner 351 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: around the edge and making sure that he's impactful in 352 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: ways that they've drafted him to be. You look, you 353 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: look at Tim Kechi. I mean they need a pass rusher. 354 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: I mean you got Chandler Jones, you got Marcus Gold, 355 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: and they got some guys. You know, Dennis Cardeck's coming out, 356 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: so you got to think that he's going to get 357 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: an airy opportunity, especially in the rookie mini camp and 358 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: then we get to training camp and preseason games because 359 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: you've got to find some depth there until Dennis Cardeck 360 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: come back. And the fact is that he's going to 361 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: get an opportunity this weekend the kind of show us upside. 362 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: You do have Devon Kannard as well as far as 363 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: that more edge rusher, but he had more. He also 364 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: has the ability to drop into coverage. I'll throw out 365 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: another name, and it's only a name that we've kind 366 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: of gotten known in the last week or so, and 367 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: that is the twenty three year old tight end from Austria, 368 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: Bernhard Psychovitz, six foot five, two hundred and sixty two pounds. 369 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: He certainly looks the part of a tight end. And 370 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: here is someone that is part of the NFL's international 371 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: player Pathway program. It is certainly a position that MJ 372 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: fills a need. Now, the question is, and you certainly 373 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: love the size and the measurables, Kenny come in, Kenny block, 374 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: Kenny catch or is this maybe more of a long 375 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: term project. My guess it's more of the ladder, but 376 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: it is a nice storyline going into this offseason. Yeah, 377 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: and the NFL's definitely tried to grow the game, obviously 378 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: bringing international players. And you know, I don't think they're 379 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: gonna have the pads on, but I want to see 380 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: him in training camp. I'm sure his eye is gonna 381 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: be wide open. You're not gonna have the veterans there. 382 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: He's been quarantined, so he'll be able to practice, but 383 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't cost a roster spot. You know, best case 384 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: scenario for him practice squad. You know, the Cardinals are 385 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: looking for tight ends this year and so much in 386 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: the future, considering Max Williams is only on a contract 387 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: one more year, so I'm sure it's going to be different. 388 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's looks like based on his videos, he's 389 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: been in shape, but there's a difference from being in 390 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: shape and then all of a sudden getting into football shape. Well, 391 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals have had success with this program. Rolando Canto, the 392 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: offensive lineman now part of the Spanish radio broadcast team, 393 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: was part of this program and actually played in the 394 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: NFL with the Arizona Cardinals back in two thousand and 395 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: four to two thousand and five. So it is a possibility, 396 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: of course. All of these rookies very very excited. In fact, 397 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 1: we had to hear a chance to hear from one 398 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: of them take out yesterday on what he's looking forward 399 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: to this week. I'm so excited, I don't even think 400 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm an ever leader. Facilities like I might stay there 401 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: there's my long lives dream, and I'm about to take 402 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: fully aventage of every office. In the end, I want 403 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: to be one of the fan favorites. Betrain, You've got 404 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: to look at that facility. It's not out of the question. 405 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: You could spend a few days there. You got everything 406 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: you need, you got food, you got shelter. You know, 407 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: it's everything's right there for you. Yeah that sounds but 408 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna want to get up out of there at 409 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: a certain point. He's gonna want to go home and 410 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: chill a little bit. I get it, and I like 411 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: the enthusiasm and and I understand his overall mentality. But 412 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: when you start talking about practicality, there's gonna come moments 413 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: where it's time to see a change of scenery. And 414 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: I like the fact that he wants to be there, 415 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: and he wants to spend a good deal of his 416 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: time there learning and soaking in all the information that 417 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: you can get. And that's what you want from all 418 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: your rookies, all the young players, to want to learn 419 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: and to be coachable. If you have a guy that 420 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: feels like he knows everything, it's going to be very 421 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: difficult to get information to him and show him something 422 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: different and he's not going to be able to grow 423 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: as a players. So his mentality is definitely what you want, 424 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: and you just want to tell him as an older veteran, 425 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: Hey pumped the brakes on that a little bit. You know, 426 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot two phoenixs that you want to see. 427 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: You don't want to just see those four walls. Even 428 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: though there's a lot of walls and a lot of 429 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: space in those four walls, You're still gonna want to 430 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: see something else. Well, let's be on. These guys have 431 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: been padded on the back, went to the last three 432 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: or four months. Time to get to work well. And 433 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: the other thing is is, I'm sure you've been on 434 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: the banquet circuit. The coaching staff loves to hear that 435 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: kind of talk and that attitude because it certainly sounds like, 436 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, the motivation as a sixth round draft pick, 437 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: he's looking to catch someone's attention, to someone's eye. Maybe 438 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: it's one of those things that you do. Rookies are 439 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: better off scene not heard. So if you're walking around 440 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: the facility all hours at the day, you get seen 441 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Hey, I remember that kid's 442 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: he put forth the effort. I wonder how many rookies 443 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: are gonna be pounding gatorady tomorrow. You gotta drink Gator ready, 444 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: like two or three days before you get on the field. Well, 445 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: we do know this practices in the morning, so these 446 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: rookies get a little bit of advantage. It's not gonna 447 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: be in the afternoon, at three or four in the afternoon. Yeah, 448 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: So now also he'll stay at a hotel and the 449 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, the driver will be there at six am 450 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: and don't be late.

We have had halftime here on this 456 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: week's edition to the Cardinals Read Sea Report. When we return. 457 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: More on Tay Gowan and the cornerbacks. The defensive backs 458 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: in this year's draft class. Can they make a mark 459 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: this season? There's certainly an opportunity for a Tay Gowan 460 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: and a Marco Wilson. That's all straight ahead here on 461 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Within the one hundred and 462 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: thirty sixth pick in the twenty twenty one NFL Draft, 463 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals selected Marco Wilson, cornerback, Florida smart player too, 464 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: and that's what they value. Rundale Moore cractuated for two 465 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: in two and a half years, and Zavan Collins was 466 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: a high school valedictorian. Marco Wilson aptitude tests off the chart, 467 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: smart player with the of course athletic avilla. Yeah, he 468 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: should be known for more than throwing the shoe against 469 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: La shoe. He's a good player, trained by his father 470 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: who was a college defensive back. His brother Quincy Wilson 471 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: also in the NFL. Good bloodlines, good intellect, and someone 472 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals wanted. They moved up in the draft and 473 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: a trade with the Baltimore Ravens to acquire Wilson with 474 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: the one hundred and thirty sixth overall pick in the 475 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: fourth round. Cardinals, remember, did not have a fourth round 476 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: pick going in to the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. 477 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: As we welcome you back here to the Cardinals Red 478 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: Sea Report, Craig Rio, Lou, Mike Direcky and Bertram Berry. 479 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: Looking at Marco Wilson and Ted Gowan, this cornerback position 480 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: certainly up for grabs. Be trained because if you look 481 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: at the roster at the moment, yeah, there are seven 482 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: players on the roster that play cornerback, but in terms 483 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: of experience, you've got Malcolm Butler, yes, there Mustans and 484 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: Byron Murphy is still I think learning the position. There 485 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: might be an opportunity here. Yes, your day three pick 486 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: if Wilson and Gowan, but they could see some early 487 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: playing time this season, and no doubt, and I think 488 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: competition is going to be the biggest thing that you 489 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: see at the cornerback position in this upcoming camp. And 490 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: I think for those young guys, they're counting on one 491 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: of them to really stand out and stand up and 492 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: if they can find themselves in positions to make plays 493 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: and make them consistently during practices and then once you 494 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: get into the preseason games, then you have every opportunity 495 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: to find yourself in a starting lineup or getting significant 496 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: minutes when you go to sub packages. So there is 497 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: work to be had. If you are a young cornerback 498 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: and you're here with the eros on the Cardinals, you 499 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: have every opportunity to come in and make your presence 500 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: known right away. I think when you look at Byron Murphy, 501 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: I think he was the most physical corner last year. 502 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: I think he's getting better. I don't know if you 503 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: can rely on two rookies if this team's you know, 504 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: you know, get to the pasture and obviously you can 505 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: do a much better job and stop in the run 506 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: with J. J. Watt, I do think they're going to 507 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: have to go out and somehow address them. There's some 508 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: veteran corners out there again, more of the merrier flood 509 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: the position. But if you're relying on rookies early in 510 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: this season, I don't think that's a good thing, especially 511 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: in the secondary. Yeah, I tend to agree. I would 512 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: love to see an experienced guy at it, and maybe 513 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: a couple, but maybe we don't see that until later 514 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: this offseason. Marco Wilson six feet one ninety one to 515 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: a Gallon six foot one, one hundred and eighty six. 516 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: So they are certainly very good size. They've got good speed, 517 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: they've got good athleticism. But there is one trade that 518 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: every top cornerback needs. If you listen to Frank Sanders, 519 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: a guest recently on the Big Red Rage. A cornerback 520 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: in the draft is a hit of miss situation. Each 521 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: can get exposed really fast. And then one thing in 522 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: the NFL that they come to try to take is 523 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: your confidence, and they can stid a confidence in practice. 524 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: We know one you're gonna stink it up in the game. 525 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: So you got to have a cornerback that is confident 526 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: whether he is beat or not. But he's confident enough 527 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: to learn the game and he can overcome some of 528 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: his failures. But he has an athletic ability and the 529 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: mentality to want to get better. Some good sound advice 530 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: there from former Arizona Cardinal wide receiver Frank Sanders. I'll 531 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: say this Beatrand though, and hearing from Wilson and Gown, 532 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: We've had an opportunity now on a couple of different occasions. 533 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: They certainly speak confidently, not only in their own ability, 534 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: but what they can do for the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, 535 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: speaking is good, but I want to see what you 536 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: do on the field, because that's what's going to speak loudest. 537 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: And I know for a lot of those cornerbacks you 538 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,719 Speaker 1: gotta have a short term memory. You can't dwell on 539 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: plays that happened before, because you've got to get it 540 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: out of your system, because if you do, then it's 541 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: only going to snowball into three or four bad plays, 542 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: which equals a bad series, which could ultimately equal you're 543 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: not seeing much time on the field anymore. So it's 544 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: a it's a tough spot. If you have a bad play, 545 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: it could be a touchdown. Some positions are are more 546 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: exposed than others, and for cornerbacks, you have to be 547 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: able to accept that role and know that you can't 548 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: afford to take too many chances out there. But you 549 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: have to go out there and do what got you 550 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: to that point. And the fact of the matter is 551 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: there's going to be competition here with there is on 552 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I like that, and the two gentlemen that 553 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: they brought in with the draft. I think that they're 554 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: going to come in and compete right away and we'll 555 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: just see what happens short term memory. That's what you 556 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: hear a lot from cornerbacks, because yeah, you are going 557 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: to get beats and that's just the nature of the position. 558 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: The one advantage that Marco Wilson has overtake Allen is 559 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: that he played in the SEC and that means going 560 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: up against some of the better quality wide receivers and 561 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: a lot that we're drafted in the first two days 562 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. Cardinals cornerbacks coach 563 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: Greg Williams last week on The Big Red Rage talked 564 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: about Williams's experience in the SEC. I don't believe it's 565 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: going to be too big for him at all. He's 566 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: going around it. He started, and he played it ton 567 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: of games in the SEC, so he'll be basing receivers 568 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: that he saw on Saturdays. He'll be seeing somebody same 569 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: guys on Sunday. So it's not gonna be two day 570 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: for him. He's gonna He's got a nice, quiet confidence 571 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: about himself. And there's also a relationship there MJ between 572 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: Williams and Marco Wilson. Williams on The Big Red Rage 573 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: mentioned that he was with the Colts when they drafted 574 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: Quincy Wilson, Wilson's brother, and they are still very good friends. 575 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: And so you have already a knowledge of what they 576 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: are as a personality. Just getting to know them as 577 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: a player as well. Well. That's that's important, just from 578 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: a standpoint of you know that the same genes, and 579 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: he can teach him a little uh, you know, things 580 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: to do as a cornerback in the NFL. Obviously you 581 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: got to go out there and do it on your own. 582 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: But the fact that his brother plays the same position, 583 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: I think they can go a long way just having conversations. 584 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: What do you see? Who should I see? You know, 585 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: don't look at the quarterback size, make sure you look 586 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: at the defender, so that can only help him. Yeah, 587 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: Quincy Wilson now is playing with the New York Giants, 588 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: and mister Wilson, the father Chad played at Miami with 589 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: the likes of A Ray Lewis and Warren SAPs, So yes, 590 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: it is certainly in the bloodlines. The other cornerback, Tay Gowan, 591 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: a sixth round selection. He certainly thought he should have 592 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: gone a lot sooner than that, But we know his story. 593 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: He did not play less past season, opted out because 594 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen. He contracted the virus, his young daughter did, 595 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: His mom did as well. She actually had to be hospitalized. 596 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: So he made a family decision for him that he 597 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: thinks might have cost him. But he is certainly very 598 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: confident in himself and now his teammate Marco Wilson. I 599 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: feel like me and Marco one of the two best 600 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: corners in the draft. I know why my draft stop 601 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: plummeted the decision I made, but Marco definitely deserve second round, 602 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: third round talent. I think Arizona Card has got two 603 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: great dvs and we're gonna live up to auto height. 604 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: I like what they're saying, be trained, but to your point, now, 605 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: we need to see it on the football field, and 606 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: it will be a little bit of a glenn this weekend, 607 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: but we'll need to see more of it, of course 608 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: during the course of the offseason and ultimately in training camp. 609 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: Talk is cheap, and that's what they're supposed to say 610 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: at those moments. What else is he going to say. 611 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean that there was a little choice, and I 612 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: think he said everything that he needed to at the moment. 613 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: But now, once you actually get to the facility and 614 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: you put the helmet on, and you put the shoes on, 615 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: you put the jersey on. Now you've got to go 616 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: out there and show why you should have been a 617 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: higher pick and why you believe that you, along with Wilson, 618 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 1: are two of the better cornerbacks in the draft. We 619 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: need to see that, because it's one thing to be 620 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: impressive in shorts and shirts and do all those athletic feats, 621 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: but can you do that in the confines of the 622 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: defense and really help a defense get better and hold 623 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: your position down and make sure that the opposing receiver 624 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: does not catch balls on a consistent basis, which could 625 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: compromise your defense. So if they go out there and 626 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: do it, then I think that that is much better 627 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: than just saying it. And Gowen did do it, but 628 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: it was two years ago. Was in twenty nineteen when 629 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: he had a very good season, a couple of interceptions, 630 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: eight passes defense, he only allowed thirty eight point five 631 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: percent completion percentage. So there is somewhat of a resume, MJ. 632 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: It's just not a very long resume talking about Tay Gowen. Yeah. Again, 633 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are going to come in 634 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: with a chip on our shoulder, you know, because they 635 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: were told you're going to be a third round pick, 636 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, you know. You know, I feel 637 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: for some of these guys a follow mock drafts because 638 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: after the first couple of months, forty five guys are 639 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: supposed to go in the first round. Use it as motivation, 640 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: but know your role coming in here. Learn as much 641 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: as you can, and I think we all agree you're 642 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: better off being seen not heard. On tape. Take Gowen 643 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: has shown enough for Greg Williams to like what he 644 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: has seen, and he does, as he talked about on 645 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage, like that confidence that he has 646 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: heard and ultimately seen from the man. The thing about 647 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: him is, once you get to know him, it's not 648 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: what he says. He actually he actually lives at you 649 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Even talking to him in the 650 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: last few days, just putting installs in and talking to him, 651 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: he's he backs it up by his work at it. 652 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: So it's not just talk. A lot of guys can 653 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: talk it, but you really have to believe it and 654 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: you have to walk the walk. And so far since 655 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: I've known this young man, he has what it takes 656 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: to actually walk the walk when it comes to that 657 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: type of confidence. And I think this weekend MJ is 658 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: going to be a big part of that as far 659 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 1: as to at least get some initial a first step, 660 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, feed in the water if you will, whatever 661 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: cliche you want, and then it will start to become 662 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: real once you get the veterans back and all of 663 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: a sudden, Gowan finds himself lined up across DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah. 664 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: I love everything I'm hearing. It's just there's a process 665 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: to it. And the bigger he's able to pick up 666 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: the defense and you can't install everything, and you know, 667 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: three or four practices, but you know, as they get 668 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: further in the offseason and training camp, you know, we'll 669 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: see how we're using press covers. All these guys have 670 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: the measurables, they have to athleticism, they all got a 671 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: chip on their shoulders, so let the best man win. 672 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: But there's a process to this. Yeah, And it's why 673 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 1: I'll go back to just looking at that cornerback room 674 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: and seeing a lot of young players be trained. And really, 675 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: the only veteran that I think the Cardinals know that 676 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: they can count on is Malcolm Butler. We are all 677 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: big fans of Robert Alford, yet you just can't count 678 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: on him. We have to wait and see because if 679 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: he is Robert Alford that they had signed a couple 680 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: of years back. I like Malcolm Butler and Robert Alford 681 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: being that one too, and then Byron Murphy in the slot. 682 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: Not a lot of experience with the Cardinals secondary, but 683 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: it's just room for Rope and it gives that many 684 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: more guys the opportunity to make an impact on his 685 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: defense that much sooner. So it's not as if they're 686 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 1: being brought in primarily just for special team. They actually 687 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to play their way into more reps 688 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: as the time goes on. If they're able to continually 689 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: show that they are worthy of more responsibility, I think 690 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: coach Joseph will be more and happy to give them 691 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: more responsibility and to put them out there and let 692 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: them go out there and compete against some of the 693 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: best receivers in the game today. And it's all up 694 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: to them. And that's how you want it. You don't 695 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: want it where your playing time is already predetermined. You 696 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: want to go out there and earn your playing time 697 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: and have a chance to increase it by your level 698 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: of play. And they're in a perfect position, and I 699 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: think with this coaching staff, they're going to be given 700 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 1: every opportunity to win that time. I'm encouraged with Buyer Murphy. 701 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: I know he plays in the slot, maybe doesn't get 702 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 1: talked about. We know teams are going through you wide 703 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: and usually like you face a lot of a veteran 704 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: slock dice, But I mean at the end of the year, 705 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: hopefully he's the best corner on the roster, and then 706 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: you get some of these young guys. Malcolm Butler's been 707 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: in big moments. He's obviously has experienced, so you have 708 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: to rely on him just an experience standpoint, but the upside, 709 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: I'm a big buyer Murphy can. Yeah, I like what 710 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: they have. It's just a little top heavy for me, 711 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: and we know that you need more than just three 712 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: corners to survive in this league. And to be Train's point, 713 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: if you're a rookie, yeah, you want to play on defense, 714 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: but make your mark on special teams and then earn 715 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: your way into that defensive game plan. Cardinals schedule When 716 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: will the games be played? We'll find that out on 717 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: Wednesday and we will discuss the twenty twenty one schedule 718 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: release coming up next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. 719 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: Seahawks run the ball off the right side and a 720 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 1: big hit by Buddha Baker at the twenty six yard line. 721 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: The Cardinals have been much more physical than Seattle. You 722 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: can crack that dual man. How did you do that? 723 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: How did you do that? Don't care? No here, Hi 724 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: ain't scared to Buddy, No, you're not. Buddha Baker wired 725 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: for Sound couple of years back at Seattle. Buddha loves 726 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: playing on the road against the Seahawks. He likes playing 727 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: against anyone, but really loves playing for Seattle and that 728 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: hometown team that he grew up watching. But question is 729 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: might we see Buddha Baker and the Seahawks in prime 730 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: time coming up this season? That we will find out 731 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: officially on Wednesday at five pm. And then, speaking of 732 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, we direct everyone later that night Big Red Rage, 733 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: first time on location since January second, twenty twenty. Paul calvc, 734 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, and Yes special guest Buddha Baker live Wednesday 735 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: from four Peaks Brewing Company in Tempe, six to seven 736 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 1: on ESPN six twenty am and streaming on Cardinals YouTube 737 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: and Facebook pages. A complete breakdown of the entire seventeen 738 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: game regular skis and schedule beatran. They're advertising twenty twenty 739 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: one as the biggest season in the history of the 740 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: National Football League because we have seventeen games, the most 741 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: ever in the National Football League. Well it's the longest 742 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: football season, so I mean you can say biggest. I 743 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: think you can substitute the adjective longest in there. So 744 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: the fact that it's the first time, I mean, they 745 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: do a great job of promoting and really making something 746 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: so simple as adding a game sound so so great. 747 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: I give them a lot of credit for that. But 748 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,919 Speaker 1: when you talk about games like Seattle versus Arizona, it's 749 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: always been a really good game to have one prime 750 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: time because there's always something that happens that you just 751 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: didn't expect. Obviously last year with DK running down you 752 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: know our guy you know well, you know, running down 753 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: booted like that, it's something that people still show if 754 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: you still see memes of it. I mean, it's you know, 755 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: with Marshawn Lynch. I mean, there's always going to be 756 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: those type moment that you have when you have division 757 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,439 Speaker 1: library going up against each other. And so I think 758 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: the NFL understands that certain teams when they play each 759 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: other are going to bring out certain emotions, and it's 760 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: good for television to have games lined up like that. 761 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: I'll give the NFL credit At MJ. They have turned 762 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: this schedule release, which typically is nothing more than a 763 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: press release into a television event, three hours worth of 764 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: coverage on the NFL network, and of course it's a 765 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: day that everyone looks forward to. Even though we know 766 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: the opponents, we know where these games will be taking place, 767 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: we just don't know when, what order, and you know 768 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: how many home games in a row, or how many 769 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: times you have to go back east, or how many 770 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: road trips you're going to have in back to back weeks. 771 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: So it is fascinating, and of course we'll all break 772 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 1: it down and then say what the Cardinals record is 773 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: here in the month of May and say, oh, yeah, 774 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: seventeen games. They're gonna go ten and seven. But I 775 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: think this year, because you know a lot of people 776 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: are vaccinated and then the NFL wants to have stadiums 777 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: full again, I think it's for those people that you know, 778 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: the Red Sea likes to travel and so you pick 779 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: out a couple of games that you possibly can travel too, 780 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: and so I think it's a little bit different this year, 781 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: where last year we didn't even know if fans were 782 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: gonna be able to show up. You know, you look 783 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: at the Cardinals home in a waste schedule, I mean, 784 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, just Carolina's on there. They got a new 785 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,959 Speaker 1: quarterback in Sam Darnold. Indianapolis is part of the homes 786 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: schedule with Carson Wentz. Houston's gonna have a new head coach, 787 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: possibly a new quarterback, so it'd be interesting, you know. 788 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: And then maybe the Cardinals will open up on the road, 789 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: maybe against the Bears. I think the Cowboys game is 790 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: probably more for a primetime game. They faced a couple 791 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: of playoff teams and the Titans and the Browns, so 792 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. You know, we all look at primetime 793 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: games wins the bye week, you know, are you on 794 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,839 Speaker 1: the road for consecutive weeks, maybe you can make an 795 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: East coast road trip. But I prefer a rookie head 796 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: coach and a rookie quarterback, and that would be the 797 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: Jacksonville jagual An interesting matches in away game though, that's true. 798 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: You have to go all the way to Florida for 799 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: that one. In Week one, be trained. When you played, 800 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: how much attention did you pay to the schedule, and 801 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: if you did, what did you look towards? First? I 802 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 1: always look for the primetime games. I look for Monday 803 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: night games and Sunday night games because you understood that 804 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: that was going to be the opportunity to play in 805 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: front of all your peers and you can have family 806 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: back home watch it. Because most games are going to 807 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: be read only covered and so depending on where the 808 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: game is played and what time is played, you don't 809 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: necessarily have the opportunity to watch every game unless you 810 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: have one of these packages that is that cable TV 811 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: offered now. And so Monday night and Sunday night you 812 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 1: were most definitely going to be seen by everybody, and 813 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: you wanted to know what weeks you were going to 814 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: be short for you and if you were going to 815 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: play on Thanksgiving or you know how the holidays we're 816 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: going to play out, you know, with Christmas on a 817 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: Sunday or Saturday, and you know who was going to 818 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: have the last two Saturday games. All those type things. 819 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: It's always something you can never look at one thing, 820 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: but you definitely want to see when the lights are 821 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: going to be the brightest. And this is the first 822 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: time that they actually have the schedule this late in 823 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: the year, because usually you know before the draft and 824 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: now they're going to be cute and the schedule maker 825 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: would he send the Houston Texas here in week one. 826 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 1: See the storyline for that though. I mean, Bill O'Brien's 827 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: no longer there. You don't know about Deshaun Watson. So 828 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: I understand it. I understand, but it's not in Houston, 829 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: and so I understand the storyline going in. But once 830 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: the game kicks off, you know, I'm looking at Cardinals 831 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: at the Browns as a big primetime potential matchup. And 832 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: then for the second straight year, b train, you got 833 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,879 Speaker 1: the Cowboys on the schedule and big dno how much 834 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: we love the Cowboys in the Bertram Berry household, So 835 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: potentially that might be a primetime affair. I mean, I 836 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: would love to see the Cardinals beat up on the 837 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys in prime time and watch everybody see him get 838 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: beat down as they usually do. So Kyler is going 839 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: to be excited. He gets to go back home and 840 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: play in front of his hometown team. But yeah, anytime 841 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: you watch the Cowboys get embarrassed on national TV, it's 842 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: always a good thing. So yeah, I would love to 843 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 1: see them on prime time smacking them around a little bit. 844 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 1: What about on Thanksgiving? Dam Jay, Hey it's on Thursday Night. Yeah, 845 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,919 Speaker 1: you don't want to play a lot of Thursday Night games. 846 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: You know, you get the benefit on the other side, 847 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: how about Patrick Peterson, that's right in week one against 848 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. That would be a pretty big batchup. Cardinals 849 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,879 Speaker 1: Vikings to open up Week one Stay Farm Stadium.
