Speaker 1: Do you feel that, Ron Bull? Do you sense how
Speaker 1: the buzz is building? The bandwagon is form, the awareness
Speaker 1: and the attention is growing. I like where you're going.
Speaker 1: The recognition is arriving. Power balls after a week one
Speaker 1: is I try not to laugh? Have the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: in the top ten A lot of these power pulls? Ye,
Speaker 1: even vegas. Do not dismiss vegas burden the handball bush.
Speaker 1: Back in March, the Cardinals were eighty to one shots
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. Yeah, last month they were
Speaker 1: fifty to one. Right now they are twenty eight to
Speaker 1: one after one win. What can that win do for you? Well,
Speaker 1: in one week, it has done a lot for the
Speaker 1: profile of the Arizona Cardinals. As we launch into this
Speaker 1: week two edition of The Big Red Rate A by
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert we are santan Ford, Paul Kalvic
Speaker 1: here at Cossa LVCI Ron Wolfley's social distancing. There. There's
Speaker 1: just no getting around it, is there, Polly? I mean
Speaker 1: there really is not. If the Arizona Cardinals want to
Speaker 1: be considered a good team, they have to win games
Speaker 1: like this. They have to win this game at home, Paully,
Speaker 1: against a young team with a young quarterback that has struggled, right. I.
Speaker 1: This is a game you look at and say, the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals should win this game, and you know what,
Speaker 1: the win in San Francisco. That's exactly what Kyler Murray said.
Speaker 1: He told Buddha Baker on the sideline that this feels
Speaker 1: like last year against the forty nine ers down the stretch.
Speaker 1: The difference to Your point is, they made the plays,
Speaker 1: they finished the game both sides of the ball, and
Speaker 1: they got the win. Because once again, everybody, now, just
Speaker 1: because you're close on the scoreboard does not mean you're
Speaker 1: close to being a winning team in the NFL. You
Speaker 1: have to win those close games, figure out a way
Speaker 1: to turn that and at least one game into this
Speaker 1: season that Cardinals did exactly that, Polly, That is it
Speaker 1: right there, ding ding ding ding ding. Good teams find
Speaker 1: ways to compete against the other good teams in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, and more times than not, you're going
Speaker 1: to find a way to win it. The fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: They're going to be competitive games. Go back to last
Speaker 1: year that two games years on. Our Cardinals played against
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers last year very competitive games, but
Speaker 1: to your point, could not get over the top. Now
Speaker 1: this year they get over the top. They play well,
Speaker 1: and they get over the top. And now what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do about it? See, this is the thing
Speaker 1: about you've got to compete against the best the league
Speaker 1: can offer, no doubt about that. They've done that and
Speaker 1: they've won a game. Now what do you do when
Speaker 1: you're supposed to win a game? Man, You've got to
Speaker 1: win the games you're supposed to wis Well, what was
Speaker 1: the difference to you those two games stuck out to
Speaker 1: such a degree last year Cardinals and Niners because the
Speaker 1: Cardinals hung top with the NFC champions. Was it simply
Speaker 1: a matter of adding DeAndre Hopkins fourteen catches for a
Speaker 1: buck fifty one? What was it on both sides of
Speaker 1: the ball? I think, Paul, I think it was Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: It was Kyler Murray in that fourth quarter and pulling
Speaker 1: down the ball and running, the ability to convert in
Speaker 1: third down situations, and his threat of running ball ninety
Speaker 1: one rushing yards for Kyler Murray. I think they called
Speaker 1: his number three times where it was actually a called
Speaker 1: run for Kyler Murray, maybe twice. But his ability to
Speaker 1: scramble is what changed the game. He would he would
Speaker 1: add one hundred yards rushing if not for those kneel
Speaker 1: downs at the end. I saw a quarterback who did
Speaker 1: what was necessary and needed to win. Yes. I saw
Speaker 1: what Russell Wilson has been doing to the Cardinals in
Speaker 1: the rust the NFL for a decade. Tasted. It could
Speaker 1: be pedestrian numbers through three quarters, doesn't matter. He's going
Speaker 1: to turn it on and find a way in that
Speaker 1: fourth quarter to beat you. And that's exactly what Kyler
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals did, just getting rolling on the big
Speaker 1: Red Rage. We have Ezekiel Turner who had the turning
Speaker 1: point in the game, the play that changed the game.
Speaker 1: All presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We are Satan FOURD.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is a game changer physically. You bring so
Speaker 1: many tools to the table. It's going to be a
Speaker 1: massive help to Kyler Murray. Wide receiver screen to the
Speaker 1: laugh caught by Hopkins at the twenty five move the
Speaker 1: chain's baby, You're gonna catch a lot of passes this year.
Speaker 1: He throws far aside of the sideline, caught by Hopkins,
Speaker 1: a first down I even catch made by Hopkins. Throws
Speaker 1: a deep ball far sideline on target DeAndre Hopkins with
Speaker 1: a first down catch. Swite open Hopkins caught at the
Speaker 1: twenty farside ten five and he's hitting the one. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Valley. Nooke didn't take very long before he
Speaker 1: was able to take off the stick of the red
Speaker 1: Hello my name is because man was he introduced to
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans in the Red Sea and a big way.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins a career high fourteen grams for one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty one yards. It is a big red rage
Speaker 1: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford
Speaker 1: and you want big How about that for a debut?
Speaker 1: The D and D hot standing for ding? How about
Speaker 1: that wall? You know, first impression Bally right, I mean
Speaker 1: you never forget that first impression. You only get the
Speaker 1: opportunity to make that first impression one. So I go
Speaker 1: back to Kyler Murray his rookie year. One of my
Speaker 1: biggest takeaways from his rookie year was the fact that
Speaker 1: in his very first game, with all the narratives arounded
Speaker 1: Gayler Bury Bally, all the doubters that were out there,
Speaker 1: it is very first game, he went out there and
Speaker 1: he didn't look really good for three quarters, he did
Speaker 1: not play well. All of a sudden down eighteen points
Speaker 1: of the Detroit Lions at home, brought his team back
Speaker 1: and actually tied that game up in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: down eighteen points. That to me told me something about
Speaker 1: this kid in his very first game, and the same
Speaker 1: thing that he said about DeAndre Hopkins. I think we
Speaker 1: all expected him to be productive, but man fourteen receptions
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty one yards. That's getting it
Speaker 1: done in your first game, by the way, I have
Speaker 1: it right here. That opener a year ago, the Cardinals
Speaker 1: trailed to start the fourth quarter or twenty four to six,
Speaker 1: and Kyler in fourth quarter and overtime of that debut
Speaker 1: against the Lions went twenty to twenty nine, two thirty eight,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no picks for a passer rating to one
Speaker 1: sixteen point seven. So right, so right there. Look, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a believer that there are some late bloomers sometimes,
Speaker 1: but for the most part, guys announced their arrival and
Speaker 1: whether they're truly going to be players and make plays
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You can you can figure that out
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. And then when you have a three time
Speaker 1: All Pro like DeAndre Hopkins, I just I guess I
Speaker 1: never envisioned, well, if that's sort of chemistry, I just
Speaker 1: never figure there'd be sixteen targets and fourteen grads, which
Speaker 1: easily could have been fifteen catches for a buck eighty
Speaker 1: if they would have connected to that one third down
Speaker 1: chunk throw where Kyler was going to the back shoulder
Speaker 1: and expected you have to peel off towards the sideline.
Speaker 1: That seemed to be a bit of a miscommunication. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was a miscommunication, and it was on that play
Speaker 1: right there, PAULI. But I have to tell you the
Speaker 1: chemistry I'm with you on this, the chemistry between DeAndre
Speaker 1: hot Kyler Murray. It was substantial, no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But they really made a concerted effort to throw the
Speaker 1: ball in a horizontal way, to throw the ball with
Speaker 1: a little dink and dunk. And the reason being Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury told us, as PAULI, we were talking to him
Speaker 1: and he told us this, The reason being that was
Speaker 1: part of the game plan. They game plan that coming
Speaker 1: out against the forty nine ers and that four man rush,
Speaker 1: the nick boss of the world and just how incredibly
Speaker 1: freakishly talented he is, they wanted to get them tired. Well,
Speaker 1: one way to do that force him to turn and run.
Speaker 1: Every time you throw the ball, whether it's horizontally or
Speaker 1: dinking it, they turned, and they're taught to run and chase.
Speaker 1: He wanted to tire them out and then run the
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more in the second half. My
Speaker 1: question is will they do that again, because a lot
Speaker 1: of guys in that locker room were pretty convinced it worked.
Speaker 1: It was an effective game plan, and there was a correlation,
Speaker 1: a cause and effect between what the Cardinals did in
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter. For example, on the twenty two yard
Speaker 1: touchdown run by Kyler Murray. If you look, Fred Warner
Speaker 1: is a trailblitzer and he didn't have a lot of
Speaker 1: juice or a lot of want to at that middle
Speaker 1: linebacker position throughout his arm. That wasn't gonna get it done.
Speaker 1: Kyler was gone, barely got touched. If you look at
Speaker 1: the analytics, he barely got touched. He had the wherewithal
Speaker 1: to get down when he was facing trouble. But I
Speaker 1: think everyone wonders what is possible now? And DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: he had that question thrown at him on Monday and
Speaker 1: his answer was, and I quote, I think I can
Speaker 1: have an amazing season in an offense like this. It's
Speaker 1: an offense that gets its playmakers the ball, ball out
Speaker 1: quit great scheme, and when you've got a great quarterback
Speaker 1: like Kyler, anything is possible. End quote. De hop I
Speaker 1: just honestly, I could not help as I was watching
Speaker 1: Dejanre Hopkins be as productive as he was. PAULI, I
Speaker 1: could not help. But think of Bill O'Brien and every
Speaker 1: Texans fan there is out there. I mean, honestly, I
Speaker 1: do I respect coach O'Brien. I really do as being
Speaker 1: a good coach. I don't think he's a very good
Speaker 1: general manager, but I do think he's a good coach.
Speaker 1: I wonder what the Texan faithful, what they were thinking
Speaker 1: about is DeAndre Hopkins said a career high in his
Speaker 1: very first game. It's very first game for the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: a career eyeball. We joked after the game with Dave
Speaker 1: Fashion the postgame, like Cardinals in the locker room right
Speaker 1: now here in Santa Clara, they're giving out a game ball.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think they should have given it
Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien and just shipped it to him, but
Speaker 1: they didn't. They gave it to d hop And in fact,
Speaker 1: we go all access ec Cardinals dot com. And here's
Speaker 1: what it sounded like. We face adversity as big as
Speaker 1: you can face. Y'all kept going, all right, that's a
Speaker 1: hell of a job by an. The way to win.
Speaker 1: We built something today, all right, and we gotta keep
Speaker 1: building each week because they come out y'all felt how stopping.
Speaker 1: It was you'll turn out tired. We are now we
Speaker 1: just get better and better. But it's couldn't be more
Speaker 1: proud of the effort and guys sticking together. I want
Speaker 1: your game ball to a new member of our team
Speaker 1: had fourteen catches one from the moment I walked in
Speaker 1: this building. Man, I feel something special about this team.
Speaker 1: I know we got what it taken to give what
Speaker 1: we won't. But it's one day to Tom's DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: on the receiving end from Cliff Kingsbury. We've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of those game ball presentations. Courtesyasy Cardinals dot Com. Wolf,
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not sure I remember an acceptance speech
Speaker 1: from anyone that was great. Yeah, Gray got up and
Speaker 1: he actually addressed the entire locker room. That was good stuff.
Speaker 1: It's great stuff, Polly. That Nuke is a larger than
Speaker 1: life figure in that locker room right now. Everyone knows
Speaker 1: how wildly talented he is. He already got a Larry Fitzgerald,
Speaker 1: the guy that is certain for a yellow jacket, a
Speaker 1: guy that is going to be a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: And now you bring in DeAndre Hopkins, a guy that
Speaker 1: also could be a Hall of fame wide receiver. If
Speaker 1: he can actually accomplish some things maybe in the postseason
Speaker 1: that Larry Fitzgerald has. If he's given that opportunity, who
Speaker 1: knows what we're going to see from DeAndre Hopkins. But
Speaker 1: the amazing thing to me, Polly, after all is sudden done.
Speaker 1: Is just the fact that once again, his first opportunity
Speaker 1: to go make plays, his first opportunity to be productive,
Speaker 1: he sets a career high. That's just stunned. Ron Rivera
Speaker 1: said this week he gets anxiety watching Kyler Murray. DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins gotta fall in there's And I asked Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: during Gameplan, his weekly TV show, if the Niners made
Speaker 1: an adjustment on Diab. He said they did. I didn't
Speaker 1: quite see it. So I'm curious what Washington's gonna do
Speaker 1: this week. Maybe we'll talk to Ezekiel Turner about what
Speaker 1: he would do trying to cover a guy like DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: We as yes, the pivotal moment of the game, that
Speaker 1: guy is next to the big red rage. He will
Speaker 1: snap it from the thirty six with Snowski stands at
Speaker 1: his twenty two yard line and the pun is blocked.
Speaker 1: It was blocked by Ezekiel Turner recovered by Gardak who
Speaker 1: gets up and runs at the fifteen and he's tackled
Speaker 1: at the ten. All the Cardinals their punt return went
Speaker 1: right through the forty nine ers protection with warm pastry.
Speaker 1: All that is sweet baby. Right there, Zeke Turner getting
Speaker 1: the block. That is a huge play by the Cardinals
Speaker 1: special teams and the should turn the momentum of this game.
Speaker 1: Who Black who block me? His own hype man right there,
Speaker 1: Huda Baker, who was miked up before Buddha knocked out
Speaker 1: his own microphone midway through the first half. He hit
Speaker 1: a guy so hard that it actually killed the microphone.
Speaker 1: So that's the sort of aggressive football the Cardinals came
Speaker 1: out of the gates plane and Wolf. You cannot underestimate
Speaker 1: and understate what exactly that play did to the game.
Speaker 1: You're thinking, how, why, what enabled the Cardinals to come
Speaker 1: back from ten? Nothing down in your mind as a
Speaker 1: guy went to four Pro Bowls as a special team
Speaker 1: or how large was the punt block? It doesn't get
Speaker 1: any bigger, bully right there. That's exactly what special teams do.
Speaker 1: For the most part. They control field position and then
Speaker 1: they control the momentum of games so much at the time. Well,
Speaker 1: it's all about you, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: and by you, we mean Ezekiel Turner who joins us
Speaker 1: now in the Big Red Rage. Zeke, good evening, and
Speaker 1: you know who hit harder the Niners or some of
Speaker 1: your teammates after you're coming off the field with a
Speaker 1: pump lock. Yeah, thank you for having me. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: head was hurting when I came to I saw you
Speaker 1: getting mobbed over there. I mean, let's just start with
Speaker 1: the basic question. We heard the play. Take us through
Speaker 1: the play. Cardinals are down ten nothing, Niners are backed
Speaker 1: up in their own territory, and then you take it
Speaker 1: from there and after especially after watching the film, go
Speaker 1: ahead and explain it to us. Yeah. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: great to get that play with my teammates, to go
Speaker 1: out there and execute when our was called. So that
Speaker 1: was good. Um, we knew coming into the season that
Speaker 1: teams were gonna have We're gonna make mistakes from the
Speaker 1: lack of offseason and all those misreps, so we just
Speaker 1: wanted to come in and see who would make a mistake,
Speaker 1: and we caught them making one. So Zeke, have you
Speaker 1: ever have you ever made a play that big in
Speaker 1: transition on special teams? Have you ever made a play
Speaker 1: that big? No? That was? That was. That was my
Speaker 1: first punt block of my career, so it was it
Speaker 1: was huge. You've never blocked a punt before in your career? No?
Speaker 1: That yeah, that was that was my first one. How
Speaker 1: did that? What did it feel like? Man? Because I've
Speaker 1: never blocked a punt either. Okay, I went to four
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls on special teams, but I can tell you
Speaker 1: right now I've never blocked upup. What did it feel like? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was crazy. It just it just kind of went
Speaker 1: silent like as it happened, everything just kind of froze
Speaker 1: and went still. And then I was like and then
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure the ball was like
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimins so account it as a block,
Speaker 1: and then I just just excitement as chills. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was great. Zeka was an X game though. That was
Speaker 1: really interesting me. I used to play personal protector all
Speaker 1: the time, so I was a guy making the calls
Speaker 1: on the punt team, of course. And it was a
Speaker 1: four by four set, and yet you guys ran an
Speaker 1: axe up the middle. Do you care to respond on that?
Speaker 1: A little bit. Uh yeah, well we had been running.
Speaker 1: We had been practicing that since training camp, so we
Speaker 1: got a lot of reps on it. The guy that
Speaker 1: should have had me in their protection was the snapper,
Speaker 1: but he never came back with me or I guess
Speaker 1: he never saw me cross back, and it just and
Speaker 1: Van Dennis led the way. He cleared out the way
Speaker 1: from me and I just followed behind him and then block.
Speaker 1: You know, great play. If a quarterback throws a touchdown pass,
Speaker 1: they asked him, a big chunk play touchdown Bomby, When
Speaker 1: did you know it was gonna hit? When did you
Speaker 1: know you were gonna get home? Did you know before
Speaker 1: the snap, oh boy, this has got a chance? Or
Speaker 1: was it somewhere along the course of the play. It
Speaker 1: was a little of both. Before going out there, we knew,
Speaker 1: I mean, we knew we just had to had to execute.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure I knew everybody was just going to
Speaker 1: do their job. And then we got We knew we
Speaker 1: were going to catch them sleep, and we knew we
Speaker 1: were gonna get the look we wanted. And then as
Speaker 1: I'm running the path that I was just going through
Speaker 1: there untouched and I was like, oh boy, this is it? Then? Well,
Speaker 1: how big was it? I posed that question to Wolf Our.
Speaker 1: Jim Hunter posed that same question to Patrick Peterson, And
Speaker 1: here's what Peach twice had to say. Yeah, that block
Speaker 1: punt definitely Uh the night of the team, we was
Speaker 1: a little I won't necessarily say we was flat, but
Speaker 1: we definitely was behind that block punt definitely, uh started
Speaker 1: it all. Zeke plays with a ton of energy. He
Speaker 1: practiced that way, and it shows up on Sundays. You know,
Speaker 1: he's been you know, alpha dog on special team since
Speaker 1: he's gotten here. You know, I love the way he played.
Speaker 1: He played his game at one speed, you know, and
Speaker 1: that's past. You know, that's facts. As the kids like
Speaker 1: to say. With Pat p I mean will fifth. I
Speaker 1: reminded you his rookie year, Zeke Turner out of you
Speaker 1: doub he led the NFL with thirteen solo tackles on
Speaker 1: special teams and had twenty two total tackles on special
Speaker 1: teams his rookie year. Put that in a perspective. Is
Speaker 1: that a lot? No? That that really is? Honestly, listen, Boalie,
Speaker 1: I could tell you right now, I went to four
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, I'd get three tackles a game or made
Speaker 1: three tackles a year. Three tackles. Think about that, and
Speaker 1: the reason being is because the good cover guys, you
Speaker 1: get doubled, right, You get doubled so much of the time.
Speaker 1: So talk about that, Zake. Talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: your ability to play in transition on special teams. Do
Speaker 1: you love it? Do you love playing in that phase
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, No, definitely. It's something I did
Speaker 1: since I was in college. And then the guys you
Speaker 1: go out there with you just kind of build that bond.
Speaker 1: So like when you go out there, you know you're
Speaker 1: competing against each other, you know you're trying to help
Speaker 1: the team fill position, and yeah, it's great feeling. He's
Speaker 1: playing with special teams. What's your favorite special team, Zeke?
Speaker 1: What's your favorite one to play on? Um? I like PUNT.
Speaker 1: I like PUNT, I like I like being a PP
Speaker 1: um down like it tackle. Why do you like the PP?
Speaker 1: The personal protector? Zeke? Why do you like it? I
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of gives you kind of gives
Speaker 1: you that QB feeling, you know, to team in the
Speaker 1: best position to you know, flip the field, put the
Speaker 1: other team in a better in a worst spot. Than
Speaker 1: they are. I don't know. I'm waiting for a direct snap.
Speaker 1: Do you you know? I mean you do? Do you
Speaker 1: have do you have skills? Can you run it? Can
Speaker 1: you throw it? Yeah? I mean we'll have to see.
Speaker 1: Whenever that day, maybe we'll have to see. I had
Speaker 1: some I had some very very good special teams coaches
Speaker 1: throughout my career, guys that poured into me not only
Speaker 1: from a football perspective, but as a man as well.
Speaker 1: Talk to me a little bit about Jeff Rogers. Him
Speaker 1: the kind of coach he is. Oh, yeah, No, he's
Speaker 1: a great coach. You know, he's gonna, he's gonna he
Speaker 1: knows a lot about the game. He's very aware of
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, everything situationally, feel position wise, and
Speaker 1: he's i mean just a great all around coach. It's
Speaker 1: always trying to get you better. He's gonna be hard
Speaker 1: on you. I'm gonna make sure you do do everything
Speaker 1: the right way. And yeah, he's just very aware of
Speaker 1: the game. And it's just it's just fun to watch
Speaker 1: and learn from. Zeek. You say he coaches hard, he's
Speaker 1: hard on you. I mean he ye'll let you on
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I mean, he wants he wants things
Speaker 1: done a certain way. So if it's if it's not
Speaker 1: the way he wants to look, then yeah, he'll definitely.
Speaker 1: Do you respond well to that? Zeke, I always responded
Speaker 1: well to a coach who coached me hard. Do you
Speaker 1: respond well to that? Oh? Yeah, absolutely. That's that's the
Speaker 1: only way you're gonna get better is from coaching. And
Speaker 1: that's only I mean you you you should want to
Speaker 1: be coached. You should want the coach to be hard
Speaker 1: on you, so you know that your mistake that you
Speaker 1: can improve on. I'll tell you the last few years
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals sideline as a sideline reporter, if you
Speaker 1: do something wrong or mess something up, Coach Rogers will
Speaker 1: find you're you're not gonna be able to go to
Speaker 1: the other side of the sideline. He he will come
Speaker 1: down and you'll make sure he conveys that message. But
Speaker 1: once again, the Cardinals were down ten nothing. You can't
Speaker 1: underestimate just how large that play was in the course
Speaker 1: of getting a victory. In fact, here's Larry Fitzgerald what
Speaker 1: I was a huge place you know for our team,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it really swung the momentum, gave
Speaker 1: a defensive boost gave the offensive boost obviously gave a
Speaker 1: bounch of teams a boost. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: it really was that play that kind of just you know,
Speaker 1: swung it. Did you sense that? Did you sense okay,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden not only obviously did you guys
Speaker 1: get on the scoreboard the very next play, but did
Speaker 1: you sense a reinvigorated sideline of sorts? Yeah, Well, after
Speaker 1: I got done getting my head beat in, I kind
Speaker 1: of got a sense of where the team was and
Speaker 1: what a great position and put the team in the score,
Speaker 1: put the offense in the score after the play. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was real big for the team.
Speaker 1: Definitely out the team. Zeke. As you watched the film,
Speaker 1: where do you guys need to get better in transition?
Speaker 1: On special teams? Where do you guys need to get better?
Speaker 1: What was the one team that maybe didn't produce the
Speaker 1: way it should? Um? I think, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: we always have places that we need to improve, But
Speaker 1: I always think we just need to stay consistent, you know,
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. Maybe we have a good week
Speaker 1: like we did this week, and then maybe maybe we
Speaker 1: hopefully we don't have a bad week this week coming up,
Speaker 1: just staying consistent in how we play weekend and we go.
Speaker 1: The good news was, you know, after you got mobbed
Speaker 1: by your teammates, you did not have to enter concussion
Speaker 1: protocol because I was a little worried there for a moment,
Speaker 1: you know, And then the way Guardek was going bananas.
Speaker 1: We'll get to Dennis Gardak. I mean, you guys are
Speaker 1: the masters of this by oe bring your own energy,
Speaker 1: you and Guardak. In fact, we'll hear from some of
Speaker 1: the fellows about that when we come back. We're visiting
Speaker 1: with Ezekiel turn here on the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by satan Ford and Gilbert. We are Satan for Tyler
Speaker 1: Murray under center, takes play action, rolling right, dumps it
Speaker 1: off to the right to Edmonds, caught of the ten
Speaker 1: of the five heading for the pylon, stuck the ball
Speaker 1: out hit the pylon, and it's a touchdown. It's a
Speaker 1: touchdown for Chase Edmonds, the first score of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals coming off the punt block. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they needed, that punt block. And now
Speaker 1: you run one play and dump it out the Chase Edmonds.
Speaker 1: A little misdirection and he stretches out, dives for the
Speaker 1: pylon and got the pig against the Orange Baby. That
Speaker 1: was the call Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, Passion Wolf. And
Speaker 1: that is a question to you, Wolf that last time
Speaker 1: we saw an Arizona Cardinal die for the pylon with
Speaker 1: a football like that? Dare I say, because I'm going
Speaker 1: in the hot tub time machine here two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight postseason at Carolina and what they made into a
Speaker 1: figurine of Larry is he got all horizontal diving for
Speaker 1: the pylon with that football as he was going out
Speaker 1: of bounds right, and it was shades of that a
Speaker 1: little bit. PAULI was so extreme. What Chase Edmonds did.
Speaker 1: He dove from like the four yard line, two hands,
Speaker 1: guided out there and just nicked the outside of the
Speaker 1: pylon before he hit the ground. It was just a
Speaker 1: fantastic effort by Jays Edvards. He just continues to maximize
Speaker 1: the opportunity he gets. Every touch he gets, he does
Speaker 1: the most with it. And if you want to know
Speaker 1: about an offensive guy, just asked the defensive guy. And
Speaker 1: we have the pleasure of visiting with Ezekiel Turner here
Speaker 1: at Cardinals inside linebacker and special Team standout. You tell me, Zeke,
Speaker 1: if you're in the open field with Chase Edmonds, what's
Speaker 1: that feeling like as a defender. Yeah, No, Chase is
Speaker 1: a talented, talented running back. Just his ability, do you know,
Speaker 1: have great balance, body control, just getting it out of
Speaker 1: his cuts is scary to be with an open field. So, Zeke,
Speaker 1: you just beat the reigning NFC champion, the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: You just you just got done beating these guys. You're
Speaker 1: one to no on the season right now, How do
Speaker 1: you feel? What are you guys talking about in that
Speaker 1: locker room now? That that that that win feeling was amazing.
Speaker 1: After the game, everybody was just so Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just a great feeling going out there again that win.
Speaker 1: But it was week one, so we got a long
Speaker 1: season ago, so we had to enjoy that win and
Speaker 1: get ready for Washington football team. Are you guys as players, Zeke,
Speaker 1: are you talking about this? Hey? Listen, guys, it's one game?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about this in the locker room? Are
Speaker 1: you you know? The leadership is the leadership saying guys,
Speaker 1: we haven't done Jack. Yeah, And I feel like guys
Speaker 1: know that already, you know, being the professionals we are.
Speaker 1: We just know it's I mean win, I mean a
Speaker 1: win's good, but it's a long season ago. We know
Speaker 1: we have a lot more work to do, a lot
Speaker 1: more to get better on. We played sloppy in a
Speaker 1: lot of areas. So yeah, we know we got a
Speaker 1: lot of improvement. What do you think the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers came away thinking because they beat this Cardinals team
Speaker 1: twice last year, they were close games, but they made
Speaker 1: the plays to win, whereas this time around, the Cardinals
Speaker 1: made the plays to win. For those who maybe aren't
Speaker 1: up on the twenty twenty addition to the Cardinals, what
Speaker 1: do you think people are finding out about this team?
Speaker 1: They're just seeing I mean, you got to come in
Speaker 1: practice every week, try to get better and better. You know,
Speaker 1: like I said before, without that off season, a lot
Speaker 1: of teams might not have got the reps they wanted
Speaker 1: to get for you know, younger players and their team
Speaker 1: new head coach maybe putting in the new scheme. So yeah,
Speaker 1: just just being ready every week. You know, good team
Speaker 1: zeke as you well know, they compete against other good
Speaker 1: teams and sometimes you're there in the fourth quarter when
Speaker 1: we're competing against other good teams, and sometimes you're gonna
Speaker 1: win them and sometimes you're gonna lose them. That's just
Speaker 1: the way that it goes because the other guy gets
Speaker 1: paid as well. But what about a team like Washington
Speaker 1: coming in right now? Right this is to me an
Speaker 1: indicator as to some type of maturity that the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: your team may be able to achieve by going out
Speaker 1: and taking care of business against a team that right
Speaker 1: now maybe is not as talented as the forty nine ers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we know they're a young team, but this is the NFL,
Speaker 1: Like you were saying, they get paid just like we
Speaker 1: do their professionals. So we just gotta go out there,
Speaker 1: execute what we need to execute and hope we have
Speaker 1: a good game. What was it like playing we're visiting
Speaker 1: with Zeke Turner, Cardinals inside linebacker, special team stand out
Speaker 1: of the Big Red Rage. What was it like playing
Speaker 1: in a stadium without fans that the only trace of
Speaker 1: a fan where the cardboard cutouts in each end zone. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was getting asked that question a lot um. I mean,
Speaker 1: going into it, just thinking about it, I thought I
Speaker 1: thought it would be weird because that's I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the first time anyone's ever played in the game with
Speaker 1: no fans. Um. But after it, I mean and during
Speaker 1: the game that I mean, I kind of liked it.
Speaker 1: It kind of grew in me. Um. Just it's just
Speaker 1: the two teams out there and the referees basically, so
Speaker 1: it's basically who's better, you know, no distractions with the
Speaker 1: fans or not anybody really intruding. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: the two teams out there, so really it's who's who's
Speaker 1: better between us two. What did you think of Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray and his performance in this game, Zike? Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he played great. I mean, we we I mean,
Speaker 1: it doesn't surprise us seeing him go out there and
Speaker 1: do well and help his team win. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I know he'll keep getting better and continue to help
Speaker 1: his team win. And everyone talks about how his leadership
Speaker 1: has grown from year one to year two. You see
Speaker 1: evidence of that, and then you notice likes you. As
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you're on an empty stadium, you can't help
Speaker 1: but notice how many different guys are bringing energy in
Speaker 1: their own way. In fact, Cliff Kingsbury was asked earlier
Speaker 1: in the week about the importance for players to fire
Speaker 1: each other up in the absence of fans and Catherine
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald from AC Central then asked Chase Edmonds this question,
Speaker 1: who on the team so far is the best at
Speaker 1: cheering and who maybe has some room for improvement. I said, definitely,
Speaker 1: the energy guy's probably Dennis. You'll always hear Dennis on
Speaker 1: the sideline at some point. Zeke as well. You always
Speaker 1: hear Zeke on the sideline at some point. Who needs
Speaker 1: to work? Who can I get on? I would love
Speaker 1: to get on Buddha. You know, every time Buddha's on
Speaker 1: the field, he'll hear me. I'm Buddha Baker. I need
Speaker 1: to play. I need to play. I would love to
Speaker 1: hear Buddhas Hill on the offense a little bit, but
Speaker 1: I know he's locked in on the defense side of things.
Speaker 1: But so I'm gonna give Buddha in Chandler a hard
Speaker 1: time because I'm always on the went on a few
Speaker 1: there you go, he siedmans with his own power pull.
Speaker 1: You know, guys who are bringing the energy? You know,
Speaker 1: any sighted you see how about that? Yeah? No, that's funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like I'm pretty Cliff always harps
Speaker 1: on us bringing our own energy, especially like this year
Speaker 1: without the fans. So I think we do a real
Speaker 1: good job of doing that as a team. Are you
Speaker 1: a trash talker? Ze guy, you go out there and
Speaker 1: look the other guy in the eye and kind of
Speaker 1: jab them in the reds verbally, I mean, are you
Speaker 1: a trash talker? I mean every now and then. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's an emotional game. You know, both both teams
Speaker 1: are into it. Not in anything person or anything, but
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody has our own way, you know,
Speaker 1: trash talking or intimidating the other opponents. So, you know,
Speaker 1: in my fifteen years on the sideline, there have been
Speaker 1: a handful of times where guys have come to the
Speaker 1: white stripe off the bench to watch certain players make
Speaker 1: their debut. Tyrn Matthew David Johnson is a rookie, and
Speaker 1: then DeAndre Hopkins. I noticed a lot of guys on
Speaker 1: the defense weren't necessarily on the bench, they were watching.
Speaker 1: Did you sense that guys were watching d Hop Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: I did think that everybody. Everybody's blocked into the games. Now,
Speaker 1: you know everybody you can just focus on the game end.
Speaker 1: But yeah, d Hop Yeah, definitely a special talent to watch.
Speaker 1: That's one of generation type talent though. I mean if
Speaker 1: you could see alive, I mean yeah, I would be
Speaker 1: on my feet too. Well, Clemson has put out it's
Speaker 1: share of playmakers, there's no doubt about that. But there's
Speaker 1: another DBU, not just Lsu Patrick Peterson. But how about
Speaker 1: you Dup. We'll get into a little bit of that
Speaker 1: with one of their alums as we continue, Ezekiel Turner
Speaker 1: on this edition to the Big Red Rage All presented
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert we are. Satan Ford fourth
Speaker 1: and five of the Niners on the sixteen of the
Speaker 1: Cardinals for roppolot the past throws to the right side
Speaker 1: and complete. Murphy steps in front of the receiver and
Speaker 1: knocks them all down. The Cardinals take over on downs
Speaker 1: with thirty three seconds to go in San Francisco twenty
Speaker 1: four to twenty and Byron Murphy takes a play on
Speaker 1: the pig to bat the ball out Ambie out Rong
Speaker 1: All that is big time. What a play South Center
Speaker 1: and the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. The Cardinals win twenty
Speaker 1: four to twenty Week one at the Niners. Byron Murphy
Speaker 1: a couple of plays at the end to help seal it.
Speaker 1: Right before that you had Patrick Peterson with a PBu.
Speaker 1: So let's see here guys, Ron Wolfley, Paul CALVISI here,
Speaker 1: we're joined by Ezekiel Turner and Alama. You dub the Huskies.
Speaker 1: So Patrick Peterson, LSU, you Byron Murphy, Buddha Baker, all
Speaker 1: you dub. Do you guys have any spirited discussions on
Speaker 1: the true DBU these days? Yeah? Yeah, we always We
Speaker 1: always go back talking about a college and who produces
Speaker 1: what um. But yeah, we get we respect each others
Speaker 1: what each other's dB units has done in the past
Speaker 1: and now. So yeah, it's always fun having those discussions.
Speaker 1: So Zeke here, you're two hundred and fifteen pounds somewhere
Speaker 1: in there. I don't know your exact way, maybe you
Speaker 1: put a little bit more on. But do you consider
Speaker 1: yourself a linebacker? Yes? Yes, yes, that's that's the position
Speaker 1: my team has me yet that's where I could help
Speaker 1: the team. So yes, that's where I am. You have
Speaker 1: no dB in you whatsoever? Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I didn't. Well that's what I
Speaker 1: wanted to get to. So you do have a little
Speaker 1: dB at you? Is that what you're saying? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I feel like that that skill set, you know that,
Speaker 1: that'll always be a part of me. But yeah, as
Speaker 1: of now though I'm a I'm a linebacker, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like that'll always be a part of you. Though.
Speaker 1: What's the dB always a dB? Is that it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: If I would have told you halfway with your college
Speaker 1: career that you would go from safety in college to
Speaker 1: the linebacker room in the NFL, what would you have said,
Speaker 1: h I'll probably I mean I probably would have said, Oh,
Speaker 1: you could be right, you could be wrong, you know, Okay,
Speaker 1: because because I've heard that before. Yeah, well, I tell
Speaker 1: you made an impression on Cliff Kingsbury and there in
Speaker 1: the in the month of August. I shouldn't say preseason,
Speaker 1: but I know on the Red and White Wolf, and
Speaker 1: I called it. And afterwards we asked him to name
Speaker 1: some names guys that caught his eye, and you were
Speaker 1: one of two or three names that he cited. How
Speaker 1: did you like your camp leading into this season? Oh? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it was. It was great. Um being in the same
Speaker 1: scheme again, I think that helped me out a lot,
Speaker 1: learning from mistakes I made last year and just having
Speaker 1: a season of film to watch on US, So I
Speaker 1: feel like that definitely helped me grow this year, but
Speaker 1: I still I still have a lot to work on. Now,
Speaker 1: can you talk to a Zeke at all about the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve? Would you like to see the Pac twelve
Speaker 1: play football this year? Oh? Absolutely, absolutely. I'd love to
Speaker 1: see my teammates former coach Coach Lake head coach US
Speaker 1: to a good se even But I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: they're they're making whatever best decisions there are for everyone's health,
Speaker 1: so we got to take that into consideration. But other
Speaker 1: than that, yeah, I would love I would love to
Speaker 1: see the FACT twelve play football this year. Yeah, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Lake hasn't even coached his first game as head coach
Speaker 1: of U yet, so okay, Yeah, you have the Washington
Speaker 1: Huskies and then you have the Washington Football Club which
Speaker 1: is coming in this week. And for a thought on
Speaker 1: the defense, here's Corey Peters, one of the team captains,
Speaker 1: and what he thought of the defensive performance in Week one.
Speaker 1: It felt great, you know. And one thing we've talked
Speaker 1: about is just being a new year US coming out
Speaker 1: and trying to set an identity for this new team.
Speaker 1: And I think we still have a long ways to go.
Speaker 1: There were lots of mistakes today, and I think that
Speaker 1: was to be expected. But um, it's a lot easier
Speaker 1: to make the corrections after a win. So we'll be
Speaker 1: hard about the tape and try to get better for
Speaker 1: next week. You know, Vance Joseph has referred a couple
Speaker 1: of times just the fact everybody's in the same system
Speaker 1: for the second straight year. It's the first time for
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker now in his fourth season, he's had the
Speaker 1: same system from year to year. How far has that
Speaker 1: gone you think as a defense and how much does
Speaker 1: it helped to play of everyone? Oh, it's huge, It's huge.
Speaker 1: You know, you got guys returning that played with each
Speaker 1: other last year, So having that year of growing, making
Speaker 1: mistakes together in games together, that just helps you learn,
Speaker 1: learn so much, and then VJ can get you know,
Speaker 1: more creative with the scheme since more guys know it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it definitely goes a long way. Zeke, I've
Speaker 1: never played football in a pandemic. I have no experience
Speaker 1: with this whatsoever. Coming into this season, with everything that
Speaker 1: was going on and in particular COVID nineteen, of course,
Speaker 1: were you concerned about playing ball? Oh? Absolutely, I feel
Speaker 1: like every I mean everyone that plays the sport of
Speaker 1: football was concerned if they would be playing this fall
Speaker 1: since the pandemic started so early and you don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But it's a lot of adversity.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was definitely. Everyone was definitely concerned. The
Speaker 1: road trip was different, wasn't it. One of the assistant
Speaker 1: coaches said, it's like a sci fi movie, you know,
Speaker 1: just with everything in place, the protocols are there, everyone
Speaker 1: has following them. It's very strict, but it's very different,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Oh? Yeah, absolutely, the trackers, the testing as
Speaker 1: its desolitely different. Well, both if you hit zoom out
Speaker 1: and Cardinal's history. Justin Bethel went to multiple Pro Bowls
Speaker 1: as a special teamer. Yeah, Bouda Baker as a rookie,
Speaker 1: Sean Morey two thousand, think about right, I mean, Dennis
Speaker 1: Gardeck and alternate. What do you think Zeke Turner here
Speaker 1: as we see a Goodbyeel Turner. I mean he's off
Speaker 1: to a heck of a start. Absolutely, Zeke, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for your time. God bless you, and thanks
Speaker 1: for making plays. Keep making plays, big guy. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 1: thank you for having me. Y'all stay safe out there,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you. God bless Turner. We come back
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and
Speaker 1: Gilbert right after this second and nine to twenty three
Speaker 1: of San Francisco shotgun formation snapped to Murray in trouble,
Speaker 1: steps up and runs to his right at the twenty,
Speaker 1: cuts back to the left of the ten, breaks a
Speaker 1: tackle to the five, running right for the end zone.
Speaker 1: Tucked down Kyler Murray with a touchdown run. Arizona has
Speaker 1: the lead in San Francisco sixteen to thirteen with ten
Speaker 1: twenty six to go. If you're gonna go after him,
Speaker 1: you better get him. If you get picked up like
Speaker 1: the forty Niners were picked up, that's what you're gonna see.
Speaker 1: Great run by Kyler Murray and it's twenty two yard
Speaker 1: touchdown run against the Niners last year. This year obviously
Speaker 1: the difference. It comes in a win at Captive fourteen
Speaker 1: play ninety four yard drive, Cardinals victorious twenty four twenty
Speaker 1: special Thanks again is Zekiel Turner for joining us on
Speaker 1: this edition of the Big Red Rage presented by santan
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley and what resonates
Speaker 1: with you the most. At this point going into Week
Speaker 1: two against Washington, is it still Kyler? I mean, what
Speaker 1: have you thought as subsequently you've watched some of the film. Yeah, no, Polly. Overall,
Speaker 1: just going into this game, I think the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: are a better football team than the Washington football team.
Speaker 1: I think they're a better team, and because of that,
Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated. I want to see how they come
Speaker 1: out of that locker room. I want to see how
Speaker 1: they come out and how they compete, Polly. I want
Speaker 1: to see them come out. I think they're a better team.
Speaker 1: You clearly look at the Arizona Cardinals on paper, they're
Speaker 1: a better team than the Washington football team, especially when
Speaker 1: you consider what the Arizona Cardinals did in Week one
Speaker 1: beating San Francisco on the road. They played well. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just paper, it was about playing. They played well
Speaker 1: enough to win that game. Polly. This is a game
Speaker 1: that if you're a good team, you're gonna win. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any getting around that. And I know
Speaker 1: they're taking it one game at a time, but when
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule as a media guy, you
Speaker 1: can't help but notice that you have two winnable games
Speaker 1: at home, you're going to Carolina. Okay, that's a bit
Speaker 1: of an unknown right there. The Jets obviously are struggling.
Speaker 1: So when you look at the back half of the schedule,
Speaker 1: it's imperative that you continue this sort of starter your
Speaker 1: season if you truly have aspirations to go into the postseason. Polly,
Speaker 1: and you're absolutely ding ding ding. Listen when I say that,
Speaker 1: though you know the way I am, I'm so old school.
Speaker 1: When you say they're the better team, they had to
Speaker 1: win this game, the warning, warning warning, right that, the
Speaker 1: warning bells are sounding when I say that, there are
Speaker 1: trap games and this could be one such game. And
Speaker 1: that's why I look at the leaders in that locker
Speaker 1: room and I'm going to watch him in this game.
Speaker 1: The leaders on this team, how do they play? Do
Speaker 1: they step up and set the tone for everybody else?
Speaker 1: How similar is this game for the Cardinals offense compared
Speaker 1: to the last game. When you look at the personnel
Speaker 1: and this scheme employed by Ron Rivera versus Robert Satyne,
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, and it really is. I mean, you're talking
Speaker 1: about a four three scheme back to back you're talking
Speaker 1: about close the middle of the field. That's Jack del Rio,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of course for Ron Rivera and Ron
Speaker 1: Rivera both these guys four, three guys close the middle
Speaker 1: of the field, play cover three, play quarter coverage, play
Speaker 1: a little bit of man free with a free safety
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field and man across the board.
Speaker 1: This is very, very similar. Now, my question is will
Speaker 1: Cliff go with the same game plan against this football team.
Speaker 1: Will he go with the same game plan he used
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers where he's dinking it and
Speaker 1: dunking it and throwing the ball horizontally to get people
Speaker 1: like Nick Bosa turning and running and chasing wide receivers
Speaker 1: in an attempt to tire them out and then go
Speaker 1: with a little bit more run in the second half.
Speaker 1: That was the game plan. Will Cliff do it again?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Paulie, but I expect him to take
Speaker 1: a few more shots down the field. Air yards is
Speaker 1: what we call it. Throwing the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: I expect him, maybe early on, to try to establish
Speaker 1: the fact you think we're just gonna throw it horizontally. No,
Speaker 1: we're not just going to throw it horizontally. We're going
Speaker 1: to take a shot down the field every now and
Speaker 1: then as well. I think that's a message you want
Speaker 1: to send right off the top. And will Kyler approach
Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing again, will he have the attempts?
Speaker 1: Will he dare to do it? And if he does,
Speaker 1: Here's Peter Schreger about Kyler's ability to protect himself on
Speaker 1: NFL Network. Kyler had twelve runs on Sunday Do you
Speaker 1: be times he was actually hit tackled once, meaning he
Speaker 1: got out of bounds where he slid and he avoided contact.
Speaker 1: That's an art that is something that you can do
Speaker 1: over time that is not just picked up. That means
Speaker 1: that he has been fully trained and has been practicing
Speaker 1: away to avoid contact, get out of bounds, get down
Speaker 1: and try to avoid getting hit. If Kyler goes unscathed
Speaker 1: and can still run the ball twelve times with Cliff
Speaker 1: calling the shots and DeAndre Hopkinson work, team catches huge deal,
Speaker 1: not just for Kyler Murray, but for the entire NFL
Speaker 1: this season. It was interesting to hear Kyler explain his
Speaker 1: mindset when running the ball. He said, yes, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of instinct involved. Yes, he's looking to house at
Speaker 1: every time he's trying to figure out is there going
Speaker 1: to be a lane, is something and to open up
Speaker 1: where I can take this all the way. At the
Speaker 1: same time, he admitted, you're most definitely have your head
Speaker 1: on a swivel and you're gonna get down at the
Speaker 1: mere prospect of getting your you know, getting cleaned in
Speaker 1: the middle of the open field. Yeah, there's no doubt.
Speaker 1: Will they come after Kyler Murray? That's what I want
Speaker 1: to know. Are they gonna do that or are they
Speaker 1: going to play? I don't know. Are they going to
Speaker 1: spy him? I are they going to do both? Paulie,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm fascinated to see how this
Speaker 1: develops over the course of this season because right now,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray the only difference between Russell Wilson and Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray in terms of their ability to make plays with
Speaker 1: their legs. Kyler's way faster. I mean that is he's
Speaker 1: running a four three out there. You know, I did
Speaker 1: Seattle Radio a couple of weeks ago, and then there
Speaker 1: was some trash talking going on, and I'll let them
Speaker 1: know that. Are you sure that the Cardinals don't have
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson model? You have the base engine. The
Speaker 1: Cardinals have the twin turbo edition of Russell Wilson. The
Speaker 1: guy runs the four three, So you know, you better
Speaker 1: be careful as all the trash talking all the twelves
Speaker 1: are doing up there in Seattle, because you're gonna be
Speaker 1: looking in a mirror real soon. Except the guy in
Speaker 1: the Cardinals uniform can actually take it the length of
Speaker 1: the field. So now he's got to make a lot
Speaker 1: of plays with his arm as well to catch up
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson. Russell has done an awful lot. I
Speaker 1: think he's the best quarterback in the NFL. Having said that,
Speaker 1: Tyler's on his way and the Cardinals old line is
Speaker 1: not the Eagles old line either. Put it that way. So, yes,
Speaker 1: the Redskins are fierce in that front. Seven. Yes, they
Speaker 1: got eight sacks. We'll see. There's a big assignment a
Speaker 1: lot to get the attention to the Cardinals offensive line.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Thanks again to Ezekiel Turner
