Speaker 1: You know, before anyone was watching football on Thursday nights,
Speaker 1: we were talking football on Thursday Nights. The original is
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage. Ron Wolfley our Big Apple edition
Speaker 1: of the Big Red Rage. And just to prove that
Speaker 1: no one has a clue as to what's next in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, do you see where they've spotted whales swimming
Speaker 1: around the Statue of Liberty Whale watching is going on
Speaker 1: around the Statue of Liberty for the first time in
Speaker 1: many a year. Why do you think that is ball?
Speaker 1: Why do you think that is man? I mean, you
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. Look, everybody, there's a wow. Go
Speaker 1: out there and check out the humpback whales around the
Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty. Never thought you'd do, I don't know,
Speaker 1: whale watching excursion right off there. You know you can
Speaker 1: board in the Hudson and then just cruise around and
Speaker 1: I mean wolf think about it. The Cardinals were five
Speaker 1: and two, now there's six and six. The Giants were
Speaker 1: oo and five. Now they're five and seven trying to
Speaker 1: become the first one and seven team ever to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Wow. Think about the NFC least? Or is
Speaker 1: it because of what just happened this last weekend where
Speaker 1: Washington did what they handed the Steelers their very first loss.
Speaker 1: You had the Giants going into Seattle and holding and
Speaker 1: giving the Seahawks their first home loss of the season
Speaker 1: and confusing Russell Wilson. I defy anyone to predict what's
Speaker 1: next in two you know, honestly, Paulli. Right now you
Speaker 1: talk about the suddenly competitive nfcast, right and you start
Speaker 1: with those defenses. For the most part, the Washington football
Speaker 1: team has got a scrappy defense, and so do the
Speaker 1: New York Giants five and seven right now. The Giants,
Speaker 1: of course top the NFC East via tiebreaker, and then
Speaker 1: the Washington football team at five and seven as well.
Speaker 1: Both those guys very very scrappy defenses. I'd also throw
Speaker 1: in the Eagles. That defense is much better than their record.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Cardinals still have the Eagles on the schedule.
Speaker 1: Now it'll be Jail and Hurts at quarterback, at least
Speaker 1: it is this week. So yeah, everything keeps evolving. Do
Speaker 1: you catch what Cliff Kingsbury told us yesterday when we
Speaker 1: were filming his weekly TV show Game Plan, and when
Speaker 1: we asked him the move the pulse of the team
Speaker 1: this week, he used one word angry. He sensed an
Speaker 1: angry I was calling it the angry birds. Angry birds
Speaker 1: out there on the practice field this week. You know what.
Speaker 1: I like that, because if you're going against this Giant's team,
Speaker 1: from all accounts, just listening to the analysts, they're gonna
Speaker 1: play hard. They're definitely not the most talented team, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna know you're in a football game against this
Speaker 1: Joe Judge team. Probably, I'm glad you said that because
Speaker 1: that is the honest to goodness truth. Right now, they
Speaker 1: line up and they try to hammer the ball. They
Speaker 1: run the ball very physically, They try to run the ball.
Speaker 1: They care about running the ball. And of course their
Speaker 1: defense right now number four, number four, Paul, in terms
Speaker 1: of rushing yards per game allowed and rushing yards per
Speaker 1: play alone, they hold the line of scrimmage that they
Speaker 1: ball out. So they ran for one hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: yards in Seattle, and they're also stopping the run. Interesting
Speaker 1: how a turnaround starts with running the football and stopping
Speaker 1: the run. For everything that's going on through the air
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and I know the future of football,
Speaker 1: it really does come down to the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: and the ground game both ways. Does It's amazing about it? Poli. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's The game is changing, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But the principles of the game still remain. Like running
Speaker 1: the ball, it's always going to be in vogue. Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury is two and oh at MetLife Stadium. Of course,
Speaker 1: the Giants last year, the Jets this year. What's the
Speaker 1: one constant in that game. I said to Darren Urban
Speaker 1: and Kyle Odegarde, the two fine writers for Easy Cardinals
Speaker 1: dot Com. Well if, I said, the only question is
Speaker 1: who's writing the game rap and who's writing the feature
Speaker 1: story on Chase Edmonds, Because every time the Cardinals go
Speaker 1: into New York, Chase Edmonds ends up being the star.
Speaker 1: He is our guest tonight on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: Just getting rolling for his by Santan Ford in Gilbert
Speaker 1: trips left shotguns that Murray quick throw to the left
Speaker 1: side and it's caught at the goal line and into
Speaker 1: the end zone for a touchdowns DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals
Speaker 1: went for on fourth and twelve at the Rambourne. They
Speaker 1: got it. Now they get into the end zone and
Speaker 1: man are they back in the game. With four minutes
Speaker 1: to go in the third DeAndre Hopkins, who lined up
Speaker 1: as the number three receiver. PULLI did is run the out.
Speaker 1: The ball was thrown on time touchdown. I kept a
Speaker 1: fifteen play seventy five yard drive took over six minutes.
Speaker 1: The moment he saw the touchdown, Cliff Kingsbury turned and
Speaker 1: then went and fired up his defense as the Cardinals
Speaker 1: had closed within seventeen fourteen. They would also close to
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty one, but at that point in
Speaker 1: the game, the time possession was thirty five to fifteen basically,
Speaker 1: and the defense just gassed in that second half. Cardinals
Speaker 1: fall thirty eight twenty eight. Paul kelvc ron Wolf Lee
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert We
Speaker 1: are santan Ford Chase Edmonds straight ahead, our very special
Speaker 1: guest DeAndre Hopkins. By the way, Wolf News of the
Speaker 1: day d hop DNP did not practice for the second
Speaker 1: straight day yesterday, not injury related, though today it was
Speaker 1: listed as his next slash back, so we're obviously all
Speaker 1: hoping he's going to be good to go on Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Giants. Yeah, Typically he has that day where
Speaker 1: he takes off on Wednesday and then he comes back
Speaker 1: and he practices on Thursday. That is not the case here.
Speaker 1: I'm not too concerned about it, Paul, because when that
Speaker 1: guy goes out onto the field, he seems to be
Speaker 1: ready to play weekend and week out. Whether he gets
Speaker 1: the opportunity to make plays, that's something altogether different. But
Speaker 1: for the most part, he balls out on Sunday already
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards receiving through twelve games eighty five catches.
Speaker 1: We know earlier this year he became the fastest receiver
Speaker 1: in NFL history to seven hundred catches. And whose record
Speaker 1: did he Larry Fitzgerald. Fitz spoke to the media today, Wolf,
Speaker 1: do you catch any of that fits talking about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the aftermath coming off the COVID, the positive test Thanksgiving morning,
Speaker 1: said the worst of it was at Saturday, Sunday of
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend, lost nine pounds. Said He's doing well now,
Speaker 1: but he's still for the most part, can't taste or smell,
Speaker 1: so very real for Larry Fitzgerald. Yeah, absolutely, Polly, and
Speaker 1: hopefully Larry Fitzgerald, somehow, some way, maybe he can get
Speaker 1: back out onto the field. I don't know how that
Speaker 1: is going to happen, especially after you've lost nine pounds, Polly.
Speaker 1: I mean, now, I'm sure a lot of it is waterway.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, man, you're weak typically when
Speaker 1: you lose that much weight and then you try to
Speaker 1: come back. I don't know where his strength is going
Speaker 1: to be. You know, later though, he said he feels great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it sounds like he's tracking a play. I'd be
Speaker 1: surprised if he doesn't. Now, look it was it was
Speaker 1: an extremely you know, real experience. And he said today
Speaker 1: that he actually got his estate planning and his will
Speaker 1: all done again, got a revise to update his estate
Speaker 1: and his will. Think about that and so okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Larry has a you know. And then he also shared
Speaker 1: how he got two to four hundred text messages per day.
Speaker 1: That is what I that's what I laughed at, Paul.
Speaker 1: And you know me, I could not even I could
Speaker 1: not even survive in a situation like that. Honestly, I
Speaker 1: would take the phone and just chuck it. I Paul,
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that three hundred text messages a day
Speaker 1: and responding to those. I mean, that is Larry's got
Speaker 1: a lot of friends. Bowl. All right, We'll get into
Speaker 1: Larry a little bit later and maybe how he factors
Speaker 1: into this offense, what he's gonna do for this offense,
Speaker 1: because look, it's a different offense. The last few games
Speaker 1: of Act. Here's Kyler Murray his diagnosis. I wanted. The
Speaker 1: Cardinals have lost four out of five, you know, little
Speaker 1: mistakes here and there, turnovers, whether you know, piloty stuff
Speaker 1: like that, not playing complimentary football. I guess you'd beat.
Speaker 1: It's kind of just who you are. I know, it's
Speaker 1: not finding a way. How much of it is the Cardinals?
Speaker 1: How much of it in your opinion, Wolf, Is it
Speaker 1: a matter of the defense making an adjustment? Yeah, I do, Paul,
Speaker 1: I believe it's all of it. It really is. It's
Speaker 1: all of this right now. I'd say, look at the
Speaker 1: Rams game in particular, and look at that first half.
Speaker 1: Remember the futility of the offense in that first half, Paully,
Speaker 1: and how that looked and how bad that was, four
Speaker 1: straight three and ounce. I mean, we haven't seen that
Speaker 1: all year long. And to see that happen in that game. Now,
Speaker 1: I listen, the Rams, as we know, are a good defense,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. But to see the kind
Speaker 1: of futility that we saw on that first half and
Speaker 1: then in the second half. When you talk about complimentary football,
Speaker 1: please don't get me started on the tactical level. I
Speaker 1: never want to hear a player talk about we need
Speaker 1: to play complimentary football right now on the field. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about strategically. I'm not talking about a
Speaker 1: game that happened or a game that will happen where
Speaker 1: you're saying we didn't play complimentary football on the strategic level.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about being on the field and putting your
Speaker 1: mouth guard in, Pouli and going out to ball out
Speaker 1: and saying, oh, now we got to play complimentary football.
Speaker 1: It should be complimentary football every play. Does that make sense, Paul?
Speaker 1: You was a player, need to go out and ball
Speaker 1: out on every play. Now when you're talking about the
Speaker 1: game after and you're talking about the game that might
Speaker 1: be coming up, yeah, go ahead, throw out the complimentary football.
Speaker 1: Because all you needed to do was look at the
Speaker 1: second half of this game to see what they're talking
Speaker 1: about in terms of complimentary football. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the offense picked it up and then the defense was
Speaker 1: non existent. And look that happened twice, Paul, Yes, twice.
Speaker 1: They made it seventeen fourteen, a Rams lead, seventeen fourteen,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the defense went out into
Speaker 1: the field and the Rams went what seventy five yards
Speaker 1: for a touchdown? Suddenly it was twenty four fourteen. So
Speaker 1: what happened, Well, though they came out offensively, they ran
Speaker 1: five plays, couldn't pick up or picked up a first down,
Speaker 1: but could not move the ball anymore, punting the ball,
Speaker 1: Paul down the field goal with special teams, you're a bam.
Speaker 1: Ball comes out Charles Washington. What a great job he
Speaker 1: did stripping that ball. Ball comes out, recover the ball,
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden you score again. The
Speaker 1: offense scores, and now it's twenty four, twenty one, and
Speaker 1: what happens. Defense allows him to go seventy six yards
Speaker 1: and that was the ball game ball. Think about it.
Speaker 1: In that first half, to your point, first downs were
Speaker 1: nineteen to four. It was beyond lopside. But then in
Speaker 1: the second half the Cardinals scored three touchdowns. Do you
Speaker 1: want many touchdowns the Rams defense that allowed into the
Speaker 1: second half of all season long, just two? So you
Speaker 1: see it. We saw it. Over the first nine games
Speaker 1: the Cardinals average four hundred plus yards per game, but
Speaker 1: the last three games three fourteen, two ninety eight just
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty two total yards. Brutal. So, as
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury said on Monday, just start this week quote,
Speaker 1: We've got to figure out some things this week. What
Speaker 1: if they deduced to diagnose, perhaps people will get a
Speaker 1: little sense of that. Chase Edmond's next on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage brought to you by Santan Ford in Gilbert
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds in the backbo with Murray third down in
Speaker 1: one of the twenty nine four receivers set shotgun snap,
Speaker 1: it's a run play right side, big whole. Edmunds twenty
Speaker 1: five twenty ten five touchdown the inside zone being run
Speaker 1: and Chase Edmonds found the hole in two the Hall's
Speaker 1: Baby twenty nine yard touchdown run on third down, and
Speaker 1: one for Chase Edmonds. All four of Chase Edmond's touchdowns
Speaker 1: at Medlife twenty yards are longer. We don't even have
Speaker 1: time for all those right now. It's only an hour show.
Speaker 1: We got to split them up. We'll hear the other
Speaker 1: three off a little bit later. Okay. That was earlier
Speaker 1: this season, Week five, the thirty to ten win at
Speaker 1: the Jets, and that was the game where the Cardinals
Speaker 1: hadn't gone both in the air and on the ground.
Speaker 1: You think of that game and like Kyler's numbers, for example,
Speaker 1: at three hundred eighty yards passing. I remember Chase Edmonds
Speaker 1: after the game called it a quote, sneaky three eighty
Speaker 1: by Kyler Murray through the air. As now they're getting
Speaker 1: ready to go back to New York this time against
Speaker 1: the Giants, and we all know what he did last
Speaker 1: year against the Giants in New York. The Fordham guy
Speaker 1: who played his college ball just a little while away
Speaker 1: over in the Bronx. Chase Edmonds is our special guest
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage Chase. How are we doing tonight?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fall ron appreciate you guys having me, no absolutely, Chase.
Speaker 1: How's the body, man? How you holding up so far?
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm blessed and healthy right now, which is
Speaker 1: always a good thing. So you know, hopefully got a
Speaker 1: month of football left to go and hopefully can keep it.
Speaker 1: Didn't say that way. How about your mental health? How
Speaker 1: you been coping everything that the pandemic has brought, all
Speaker 1: the protocols, I mean, all the audibles you guys have
Speaker 1: had to call on and off the field. How you
Speaker 1: been coping with all that? Right? Man? It's it's a
Speaker 1: wild time, you know what we're living in right now.
Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to just live in the moment, man,
Speaker 1: Just take advantage of every opportunity that I can get,
Speaker 1: and they're obviously certainly unique opportunities, but again, just taking
Speaker 1: a dad of time, man, and find a way to
Speaker 1: get through there's so much of the time. Of course,
Speaker 1: everyone looks at a football player and they see the
Speaker 1: football player, but they forget about the person. They forget
Speaker 1: about the personal So, having said that is your personal
Speaker 1: life and your family, Okay, are they healthy through this pandemic? Chase, Yes,
Speaker 1: sir Ron free as you're asking, Oh yeah, I've had
Speaker 1: all family limners so far. Be healthy, man, which is
Speaker 1: always a good thing. And I mean I've had actually
Speaker 1: had a first cousin who called COVID, so I kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, heard of heard of where you know, he
Speaker 1: had the bag COVID where he kind of affected him
Speaker 1: pretty badly for about three weeks. And so I've heard
Speaker 1: that side of the story too. Manages prayers for everybody
Speaker 1: in their family and their loved ones right now. You know.
Speaker 1: So when you're going back to New York and knowing
Speaker 1: what you've done in that stadium, is it a bit
Speaker 1: different vibe this week? Can you feel it is the
Speaker 1: buzz building for you? I mean on the personal level,
Speaker 1: I just try to, you know, continue to build on
Speaker 1: a good momentum. And you know, my last two games
Speaker 1: at New York and Met Left have been a good game,
Speaker 1: So hopefully I can just continue to build on a man,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make it anything. It's not, you know,
Speaker 1: it's make something out. We're just really trying to focus
Speaker 1: on around now winning a football game. So when I
Speaker 1: say to you, Chase, you're three in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: how's it going, buddy, I'm sorry, sit over the time.
Speaker 1: Run when when I say you're three in the National
Speaker 1: Football League, how's it going? How's it going for you?
Speaker 1: On a personal leve it? Man, I'm playing really good football,
Speaker 1: I feel like right now, and I'm doing everything the
Speaker 1: coaches are asking me to do, trying to just continue
Speaker 1: to find a way to expand my role. I think
Speaker 1: what I want to find a way to do is
Speaker 1: just um trying to make you know, like a big
Speaker 1: ex supposed to play a game. You know. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's really my role is where right now, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of like the spark plug and the little gadget user,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Right now, I just
Speaker 1: try to focus on ways to help this football team
Speaker 1: and whether it's in the receiving game, Russian game, return game,
Speaker 1: and just find a way, man again, to contribute to
Speaker 1: a win. You know, we're in the last month of
Speaker 1: the football season, playoff race, where every game is his
Speaker 1: playoff mentality, surviving advance. And then obviously the last month
Speaker 1: of football is the clus hasn't gone the way we've
Speaker 1: running our hope to go. But the good thing is that,
Speaker 1: you know, we still can control our own destiny. So
Speaker 1: don't way we can do that though, just taking a
Speaker 1: week out of time, man, data time fact. At the time,
Speaker 1: it's all about you, Chase Edmonds presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. Every time Cliff Kingsbury has asked about you,
Speaker 1: we always paused to say, you know what, we gotta
Speaker 1: get them more touches. If that's the case, You're ready,
Speaker 1: aren't you. I mean, you're ready for that sort of workload,
Speaker 1: aren't you? Yeah? Man, you know, I mean I have
Speaker 1: goals and aspirations and I just feel like, um, right
Speaker 1: now I'm playing really good football. Hopefully I can finally
Speaker 1: to touch the ball. But again we have a lot
Speaker 1: of playmakers, man, and a lot of guys in the
Speaker 1: team that touch the ball, so I don't take it
Speaker 1: with anything. I'm just trying to win and right now
Speaker 1: that's that's everyone's number one goal is to win. You know,
Speaker 1: you got together the boys and just however we play
Speaker 1: our best football. We need to get back to that.
Speaker 1: And if it has certain individuals have to sacrifice certain
Speaker 1: roles or you know, less plays. We're not We're not
Speaker 1: for that now. We're all about the team and we're
Speaker 1: all about stacking w's. You know, Chase, Obviously, over the
Speaker 1: last three games, you guys have struggled offensively. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about that. You were the number one offense in
Speaker 1: the National Football League and now you're number six. So
Speaker 1: the fall has been a little precipitous here over the
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Has the NFL caught on to this offense?
Speaker 1: And what can you do to change it? Um? I
Speaker 1: don't want to say the NFL has called on I mean,
Speaker 1: or if you're looking from an that viewpoint, you can,
Speaker 1: but that's really wrong. You know what people don't understand
Speaker 1: is that's what's so unique about the NFL. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: you guys and coaches are just two smart players are
Speaker 1: too good. You know, guys are two ambitions. Watch the
Speaker 1: film you kind of see what happened with Baltimore last year,
Speaker 1: how the offense was so dominant and they they're not
Speaker 1: as a fishing aft day were to hope for this
Speaker 1: year right now. You know in the animal obviously you
Speaker 1: get more film out there, you find was to stop it.
Speaker 1: I think one thing that we just have to do
Speaker 1: is collectively as offensive unit, is find out, okay, what
Speaker 1: if team's done for us and where it slowed it
Speaker 1: down and we haven't had the game where it's up
Speaker 1: to our standard, and just find unique ways to obviously
Speaker 1: overcome that. Man, And we're working on that day by
Speaker 1: day and just trying to get at it brick by brick.
Speaker 1: But again it starts on Sunday. Man, it really starts
Speaker 1: to just Monday through Saturday of in our preparation. Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray after the game, asked about the one in four
Speaker 1: stretch here after the five and two start. Here's Kyler.
Speaker 1: I think we kind of hit a wall offensively. At
Speaker 1: first half of the season. We were it was kind
Speaker 1: of effortless were you know, we're moving the ball, having fun,
Speaker 1: playing fast and stuff like that. And now we just
Speaker 1: kind of when you face a little bit of adversity,
Speaker 1: how we react, how we adjust, which we ended up doing,
Speaker 1: but it was just a little too late. We've been
Speaker 1: in those games, and I think it's just we just
Speaker 1: got to find a way to execute, you know, when
Speaker 1: we have to. We haven't done that. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: ask you what you're gonna do. I'm not asking you
Speaker 1: to give away of the gameplay. What if defense is
Speaker 1: done though, how if defense is adjusted, especially in the
Speaker 1: past month or so. Yeah, So right now, I think
Speaker 1: with defenses, the number one goal coming in when they
Speaker 1: play US, I think right now is just to stop
Speaker 1: the run and really take take kay One's legs out
Speaker 1: of it, because you know, you see it when Kay
Speaker 1: one's getting going with his Russian yards in a little bit,
Speaker 1: he's really a Russian threat. I mean, it just adds
Speaker 1: a whole another element to our offense for one. That's
Speaker 1: that's really what I think. So, I mean, again, kudos
Speaker 1: to those defenses like LA did a good job of it.
Speaker 1: New England certainly did a good jobs just really trying
Speaker 1: to neutralize college legs. So we got to find a
Speaker 1: way men to keep them involved, keep him upright too.
Speaker 1: I think teams that really generate some decent pressure on
Speaker 1: him and try to get them uncomfortable. They've kind of
Speaker 1: found a certain success that goes with every offense, you
Speaker 1: get pressure on the quarterback, you know it's gonna go
Speaker 1: that way. So again, we gotta fire with his men
Speaker 1: to keep them rhythm, keep them comfortable, and just keep
Speaker 1: the drives move. And I think we're executing third down conversions.
Speaker 1: It gives us an ability to really just get with
Speaker 1: our tempo and kind of apply pressure defenses. You know,
Speaker 1: that's what I think you need to do as well. Jays.
Speaker 1: You need to run the ball so much better, and
Speaker 1: I think you need to run it better. This is
Speaker 1: just my opinion in a North Sol fashion. Right when
Speaker 1: you're watching tape, are you guys executing? Is the offensive
Speaker 1: line executing? Our running backs missing reads? What's happening with
Speaker 1: you guys in terms of this rushing attack? Really, man
Speaker 1: based off of the last couple of weeks, we're kind
Speaker 1: of just we're not in sync. So we might have
Speaker 1: one play where we have nine guys execute to play
Speaker 1: and then two guys kind of just moved mass up
Speaker 1: or something like that. And if that's kind of been
Speaker 1: the consistent basis on what's been going on, where it's
Speaker 1: just not all eleven guys executing at all one time,
Speaker 1: and that's really what makes successful plays um. Obviously, football
Speaker 1: is a game of individual matchup, So we got to
Speaker 1: find a way where we're all holding ourselves to kind
Speaker 1: of a man, find a way to do your job,
Speaker 1: worry about your individual's assignment, and it all collectively coming together,
Speaker 1: we can get back and making this name Joel. Well, look,
Speaker 1: we've seen it. We've seen what this offense looks like
Speaker 1: when it's clicking. And the thing is even Wolf, even
Speaker 1: when they were number one in the NFL total offense,
Speaker 1: they still haven't played that game. Yeah you said it
Speaker 1: was a complete game. Yep, that was really a breakout game.
Speaker 1: We're still waiting for that. And Cliff Kingsbury is pretty
Speaker 1: forth right to start the week. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to figure some things out. I know, I'm curious Wolf
Speaker 1: to see what it looks like when the Cardinals break
Speaker 1: the huddle for the first time in New York. There
Speaker 1: might be a few changes out there, I would imagine.
Speaker 1: I really do believe, Bully, it is all built and
Speaker 1: predicated around them running the ball. And I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about having to have Kyler Murray run the ball as well.
Speaker 1: Is that a good thing, There's don't doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Pulling the ball down in a scramble and running the ball,
Speaker 1: even having cold runs. I've got no problem with that.
Speaker 1: But when you're banking on it to make your offense go,
Speaker 1: that's when I'm worried a little bit about it, because
Speaker 1: now you're Michael there. If you want third down conversions,
Speaker 1: you want Larry. That's next on the big red Rage
Speaker 1: SIPs it over the middle, caught by Larry Fitzgerald. It's
Speaker 1: another first down. Was able to power through some arm
Speaker 1: tackles out to the twenty three, but owing left and
Speaker 1: Fits with the catch inside the twenty if the eighteen
Speaker 1: stuffed the ball out as he was getting hit, and
Speaker 1: he was able to get the first down. Caught over
Speaker 1: the middle by Fits at the forty yard line and
Speaker 1: dumped there growing right. It's caught by Fits at the
Speaker 1: twenty five. Got the first down of the twenty fires
Speaker 1: over the middle of the Fits, caught it at twenty
Speaker 1: and down to the fifteen yard line. That was a
Speaker 1: bullet out comes the ball and that was a full
Speaker 1: blown dark caught by Larry Fitzgerald for a first down,
Speaker 1: perfect throw and the right guy to throw it too.
Speaker 1: That montage right there, guys, is from two twenty our
Speaker 1: Jim Amandra went through this year. Think of how many
Speaker 1: first downs you hear there from the first ballot Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. Yah. Think about when he went out two
Speaker 1: games ago. He was number two in catches for the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: number three in receiving yards, but a lot of those
Speaker 1: were critical conversions. Well, you know, he went out and
Speaker 1: it was just different. Last time he had missed a
Speaker 1: game two fourteen. He missed two games the last time
Speaker 1: for that two thousand and seven. Larry in a seventeen
Speaker 1: season back in the practice field this week, Paul klvc
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley and running back Chase Edmonds here on the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage, and Chase simply put, how good was
Speaker 1: it to have number eleven back out there this week? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: that's big broth for me. So it's obviously always good
Speaker 1: to have Larry out there and just have his leadership
Speaker 1: and really just his presence. Man gods s feet off,
Speaker 1: you know, And it's such a good a game for
Speaker 1: the younger guys on again, always how to handle yourself.
Speaker 1: So it's been good to working back in there. Chase,
Speaker 1: do you have a story personally, a story of you
Speaker 1: and Larry and how Larry has impacted your career. Is
Speaker 1: there any advice that he's given you? Can you give
Speaker 1: us a story? Can you share one? That's funny you
Speaker 1: say that because I was telling Larry about it, just
Speaker 1: because no again and him. Me and him have got
Speaker 1: so much, so close over my years being here, and
Speaker 1: I remember telling him just how he obviously understands his
Speaker 1: impact on people. But I remember my story for really,
Speaker 1: my Larry interaction is just my rookie year. This is
Speaker 1: when Dave had first started his hold out. If you
Speaker 1: guys remember kind of did he didn't report you ots
Speaker 1: or whatever it was for like you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like it was like a week, maybe two weeks or
Speaker 1: something like that. So I was getting all the first
Speaker 1: team reps, and um, I was doing a pretty decent job, man,
Speaker 1: you know I was. I was a rookie at that time,
Speaker 1: so I was just you know, staying quiet, just trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what I can do to help the
Speaker 1: team and just do my job as best as I could.
Speaker 1: And um, I remember, man, just Larry giving me a noogie,
Speaker 1: just just a random look. And I haven't said ten
Speaker 1: words to him yet, and uh, but I told him
Speaker 1: this is about a week ago. What I told him
Speaker 1: just like he didn't understand what that did for me
Speaker 1: as as a player. Confidence and just okay, Larry fitz
Speaker 1: Jail acknowledged me, you know, right, that goes along the way. Man.
Speaker 1: It made me feel like, Okay, I'm doing something right.
Speaker 1: I remember the first thing I did was I got
Speaker 1: home and told my mom that he gave me a
Speaker 1: damn nuggie. But uh so that went a long way
Speaker 1: for me, man. And when you have guys like that,
Speaker 1: that certain guys look up to on the team, it
Speaker 1: goes a long ways for a young Clayre's confidence and
Speaker 1: just really you know, they're beliefing himself and they can
Speaker 1: and playing and be an impact for that. That totally
Speaker 1: resonates with me, man, it really does, because honestly, with
Speaker 1: that noogie, what that meant for Larry too, is this
Speaker 1: kid's gonna be here being that guy when I was
Speaker 1: in college and I was the man he right, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I remember that. That's very cool, man, Thank you
Speaker 1: for that, dude. It's amazing how wolf street cred went
Speaker 1: up a few years ago when when Larry tackled him
Speaker 1: during the Red White scrimmage out of I can't believe
Speaker 1: Jase what that did for Wolf's career behind the mic. Okay,
Speaker 1: so no, Jase, don't comment on that all right. How
Speaker 1: about just the impact of Larry on on the offense
Speaker 1: right now, not not you personally, but on the office
Speaker 1: I think is crucial. I think, uh well, I think
Speaker 1: what Larry does the best out of anybody on the team. Really.
Speaker 1: I've scene is that Larry takes h little routes man,
Speaker 1: and he finds way to getting north south so fast.
Speaker 1: You know, you can Larry off a four yard route
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get you, you know, final way to
Speaker 1: get you that eight to ten yards and get you
Speaker 1: a down. I think we got to final with a
Speaker 1: capitalize then, just and get him going early. You know,
Speaker 1: when he has touches in God's treat off he wants
Speaker 1: fit to get that first down for us. He comes up,
Speaker 1: he does that Fitch Park or whatever he's doing, and
Speaker 1: that stays for stuff. Man. So I just you know,
Speaker 1: I love to see him. We gotta get him an
Speaker 1: en zone too. I told we got to get big
Speaker 1: brown end zone. That's a good point. We call it Byoe.
Speaker 1: Bring your own energy, especially when you're on the road
Speaker 1: and these stadiums are empty and you know, in that
Speaker 1: Jets game and it's totally empty, you could hear sound
Speaker 1: echo all over MetLife Stadium, eighty thousand seats empty. It's
Speaker 1: a totally different dynamics. So you have Larry as a
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Fame receiver, you have Larry as
Speaker 1: a team leader, and then Larry as offensive consultant. Because
Speaker 1: listen to what Fitz said today as he watched those
Speaker 1: games from his couch. When you're playing in the game,
Speaker 1: you're you're really concerned about what your job is and
Speaker 1: what you need to be doing and how you can
Speaker 1: be effective to help your team. And when you're actually
Speaker 1: taking a you know, a step back, a bird's eye view,
Speaker 1: and I mean, you see a lot more. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've discussed those things with my coaches in my teammates,
Speaker 1: you know, back that's not something I want to discuss publicly,
Speaker 1: but you know, you do see things that you normally
Speaker 1: wouldn't see when you're playing. Actually, it was pretty helpful
Speaker 1: to be able to deserve it from a distance. Interesting
Speaker 1: what he might have shared with Cliff Kingsbury. I mean, Jase,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to diagnose the offense and what's going on,
Speaker 1: right now maybe it's a team. Is it simple? Is
Speaker 1: it complex? I mean, how big an issue or our correction?
Speaker 1: Is this all told? Man, I'm gonna say it's simple.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and that we have a
Speaker 1: super complex problem right now. I mean we're just not
Speaker 1: executing and we're just not on the same page. And
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a complex because we certainly have
Speaker 1: the talent, you know, and we just set ourselves a
Speaker 1: high stand. I mean, we're the number one offense in
Speaker 1: the NFL at one point for a reason, so obviously
Speaker 1: we have the talent and the guys that and then
Speaker 1: the coaches have to make it happen. It's just about
Speaker 1: again going on and making it happen. So guys got
Speaker 1: to find a way to do the job better, myself included.
Speaker 1: And guys you got to look at themselves in the
Speaker 1: mirror and again, like Larry said, to take a bird's
Speaker 1: eye view almost at some point and just really say, Okay,
Speaker 1: what can I do to get better? And what can
Speaker 1: we do as an offense to get better? Chase, you know,
Speaker 1: this is so important right now. But confidence is the
Speaker 1: currency of competition. I mean, it's what you use to
Speaker 1: buy and sell in competition. It's confidence, right, and I
Speaker 1: look at this team right now, and there you were
Speaker 1: at five and two and now you're six and six.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that breeds a lot of confidence. Chase right, right,
Speaker 1: and Ron, you're completely right. Obviously everyone knows, even though
Speaker 1: I know as a fan of just a football man,
Speaker 1: the best teams are the highest teams. That's how I
Speaker 1: look at always. The best teams are always the hottest teams.
Speaker 1: If you got that confidence, like you said, it goes
Speaker 1: a long ways. Obviously we're kind of cool right now.
Speaker 1: But again, well, I think with the messages of this
Speaker 1: team is despite how bad our last month of football
Speaker 1: has been, we still can control our own destity. And
Speaker 1: it starts with this when I need to reside. So
Speaker 1: we're kind of just trying to clean slate it all rigary.
Speaker 1: We're basically in December of football, the most important month
Speaker 1: of football, and let's find a way to just again
Speaker 1: stack one win at a time. Would you say the
Speaker 1: team's angry? That's a clock Kingsbury told us yesterday if
Speaker 1: there was one vibe he got out of practice, the
Speaker 1: team was angry. Yeah, definitely angry. We're not playing to
Speaker 1: the standard that we would hold to play. We know
Speaker 1: how good we can be with with some of the
Speaker 1: wins on our on our board right now, so you know,
Speaker 1: and I feel like we need to have more urgency
Speaker 1: as the team too, just where you know it. We're
Speaker 1: fighting for our lives right now. Every single game now
Speaker 1: it basically left for death in terms of okay, we're
Speaker 1: playing for something or were just going on iron playing
Speaker 1: for pride, and uh, my first two seasons have been
Speaker 1: playing for pride, and I'm tired of having that feeling.
Speaker 1: So I want to be playing for something meaningful. Well, well,
Speaker 1: we know what Chase Edmonds did the last time he
Speaker 1: went into MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants. It
Speaker 1: was NFL history in a lot of ways. We'll revisit
Speaker 1: that and we'll talk about this revamped Giants defense, this
Speaker 1: revamped Giants team when we come back. It is the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We
Speaker 1: are santan Ford hands off Edmonds off the left side.
Speaker 1: He's got a crease up the fifteen to ten to
Speaker 1: five touchdown hits to drop play. Edmonds grade ahead twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: breaks a tackle at the ten head of the end
Speaker 1: zone for a second touchdown. He handed off to the
Speaker 1: lapside Edmonds. He's got a rumber the twenty to ten
Speaker 1: to five peas in again the hat track. Third touchdown run.
Speaker 1: The first two went for twenty of peace. This one
Speaker 1: goes for twenty two yards. Actor Peterson had a towel
Speaker 1: and he was waving the towel at Chase Edmonds as
Speaker 1: if to put out a fire. I've ember calling it
Speaker 1: a three alarm fire because of the three touchdowns one
Speaker 1: hundred twenty six yards rushing twenty on twenty seven carries,
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds a six NFL player in the history of
Speaker 1: the game with at least three rushing touchdowns of twenty
Speaker 1: or more yards twenty twenty and twenty two yards. Wolf
Speaker 1: you and pass on the call a year ago at
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium, Cardinal's going back against the Giants. Chase Edmonds,
Speaker 1: every special guests here on the Big Red Race presented
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert And if memory serves Chase,
Speaker 1: every one of those was between the tackles and then boom,
Speaker 1: you found a whole of seam and you were gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was a great job by the
Speaker 1: line obviously those were good memories and good times and
Speaker 1: hopefully we can find a way to make those same
Speaker 1: memories happen this on they So when you watch tape
Speaker 1: on the New York Giants and on this defense, what
Speaker 1: do you see, Chase oh Man, tough, tough defense. Uh,
Speaker 1: really good upfront obviously big they got some big boys.
Speaker 1: They have a really good linebacker that I like he's playing.
Speaker 1: He's playing his ass off, Blake Martinez. Yes, and then
Speaker 1: got a secondary and one got that sticks out of
Speaker 1: there as the Boro Preppers obviously, and um really man,
Speaker 1: I like this has a fan of football. I like
Speaker 1: what the Giants have done with the hire of Joe Judge.
Speaker 1: Joe Judge brought you know, physical mentality, tough football team
Speaker 1: type of thing and everybody you know. And obviously his
Speaker 1: team reflects it just in terms of even with their
Speaker 1: special teams. But they're not more of a finesse team.
Speaker 1: They definitely more of a get down in your face
Speaker 1: and really want to beat you down, you know, and
Speaker 1: they're obviously building on something good. You know. Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: got sacked five times, he got hit ten times, and
Speaker 1: from all accounts, in that game, he was a little hesitant,
Speaker 1: especially for Russell Wilson. He wasn't all that decisive. Do
Speaker 1: they dial up a lot of different stuff, especially in
Speaker 1: the secondary um. Actually it's surprisingly that they don't, you know,
Speaker 1: the relatively more more on the simple side for NFL defense,
Speaker 1: they kind of stick to what they do and they
Speaker 1: just work on, you know, doing it really well. They
Speaker 1: just got a really they did a really good job
Speaker 1: and again just being out out physical and the team
Speaker 1: and they just did a good job of getting after
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, which is very hard to do. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, kudos to them, did a really good job.
Speaker 1: I think they held him to what like it was
Speaker 1: a twelve point yeah maybe, yeah, seventeen twelve, yes, twelve okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean anytime you hold a Russell Wilson led office
Speaker 1: to twelve man, you definitely hell of a job. So
Speaker 1: when I think of Patrick Graham, I think of man cover.
Speaker 1: I think of closed the middle of the field with
Speaker 1: the safety, and I think of messing around on third
Speaker 1: and obvious pass situations where you're playing that blitz bail
Speaker 1: with six and then you're dropping off. As a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, I saw them put two spies on Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: not one, but two. What are you seeing though, specifically
Speaker 1: when you watch tape with Patrick Graham and the Giants, man, Um,
Speaker 1: what I see is uh, discipline. You know, it's a
Speaker 1: discipline football team. You know, you're not really gonna have
Speaker 1: too many instances where guys out of the gap were
Speaker 1: just you know, blown coverages and on and when it's
Speaker 1: often and done. That's kind of what makes the defense
Speaker 1: really good. If you have guys that are just in position,
Speaker 1: in the right position, man, you can make a lot
Speaker 1: of plays, and you really can limit a lot of
Speaker 1: explosive plays. You know. For those who don't know, Chase
Speaker 1: Edmonds started Fordham, played his college games in the Bronx
Speaker 1: multiple time All American. To what degree did you watch
Speaker 1: you would play on Saturday, then would you watch the
Speaker 1: Giants and or Jets on a Sunday? One of my
Speaker 1: college you made he was he was a diehard Jets
Speaker 1: fans anytime the Jets one. We were watching that sadly
Speaker 1: at that time, but uh, you know, man, it was
Speaker 1: it was a good time. So I'm very familiar with
Speaker 1: the Giants and in the Jets playing. Those TV's are
Speaker 1: always go on, So I'm just I'm just trying. Well,
Speaker 1: if I'm just trying, I'm wondering, you know, for you
Speaker 1: do you get a little different vibe when you go
Speaker 1: back into the city, into the Big Apple and to
Speaker 1: play in that stadium. You know the numbers say wow,
Speaker 1: look out. Yeah I'm not I get a little different buzz.
Speaker 1: But I don't even think it's from the previous games. Man,
Speaker 1: It's just uh it like you know, I love New
Speaker 1: York City, man, and that that college part of me.
Speaker 1: It'll be especially part of my life. You know. Always
Speaker 1: as I as I go on my biddies and when
Speaker 1: I go back to that, man, I always know that
Speaker 1: I got a lot of more eyes looking at me
Speaker 1: just because so many family and friends got down that way.
Speaker 1: So uh, that's what it did for me. It's a
Speaker 1: little different bit of a buzz, but you know, I
Speaker 1: try to not to again make too much out of it.
Speaker 1: You know what, Chase, I see you very very similar
Speaker 1: to a Marcus Golden. I see you as a guy
Speaker 1: that approaches every plane, no matter what the game, no
Speaker 1: matter what the score, no matter what the quarter, every
Speaker 1: play you approach the same. Is that. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the way you play. That's I mean to me, I've
Speaker 1: got so much respect for that, Chase. Is that a mindset?
Speaker 1: Is that something that you do purposely or is it
Speaker 1: something you've got to generate? Man, It's just that's just
Speaker 1: how I was raised. Man. You know, he played every
Speaker 1: single clay like it's your last. And I want to
Speaker 1: be a pros pro. I really want to be that
Speaker 1: guy down a road. Man, I'm ten years in and
Speaker 1: guys can kind of just saying, look at he's done
Speaker 1: it right on the must a few, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of take after that guy and you'll be successful one
Speaker 1: of those type of guys. You know, there's not everyone's
Speaker 1: built like that, Chase. I mean you know that, right,
Speaker 1: You know that that is a special quality that you have.
Speaker 1: These are some of the finest athletes in the world.
Speaker 1: There's some of the best football players in the world.
Speaker 1: But not everybody's built like that. Hey, Wolf, here's an example.
Speaker 1: Are Jima Monro Before the show we are talking Chase,
Speaker 1: he remembers your quote your rookie year when you quoted
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. Now putting you on the spot. Do you
Speaker 1: remember the Abraham Lincoln quote about being prepared and it
Speaker 1: had to do with chopping down a tree. Do you
Speaker 1: remember that? Oh, shout out to Joe moorehead because he
Speaker 1: said that quote by every team meeting in my college. God. Um,
Speaker 1: I think it was if you gave me six hours
Speaker 1: a chop of tree. That's been the first five sharper
Speaker 1: than the acts. Yes, I'm gonna know that quote for
Speaker 1: the rest of my life. Here here's what else people
Speaker 1: might not know about Chase. Oh, he is a big
Speaker 1: NBA fan, big time NBA fan. You know Tony Jefferson
Speaker 1: thinks former Cardinal safety jeff thinks he's like a big
Speaker 1: Suns fan, But you know, Chase snows his NBA. What
Speaker 1: do you think of Chris Paul and the moves they
Speaker 1: made in the off season. I like the moves, man,
Speaker 1: I really do. I felt like I felt like the
Speaker 1: Sun needed to make the move to really secure the book.
Speaker 1: You know, when you have a young superstar going up
Speaker 1: like that, especially in the NBA, you know we're gonna
Speaker 1: call spadus. Those guys can kind of dictate where they
Speaker 1: want to play at any given time. So I think
Speaker 1: they did a good job just getting an all star
Speaker 1: guy in CP three. Really, when he first got to Okay, see,
Speaker 1: everybody thought Okay, he was the worst record in the
Speaker 1: NBA and you have CP CP three. I think they
Speaker 1: were a sixth seed or something like that. He worked
Speaker 1: his ways, man, So he's definitely gonna the young guys
Speaker 1: that Phoenix definitely gonna benefit from him. And uh, I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to just Washington plays. You know, hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. How much basketball did you play,
Speaker 1: Jason many? Could you point it up? Is that? I mean?
Speaker 1: Are you a point guard? Yeh? I played basketball whole life,
Speaker 1: but the game. I'm just a huge sports fan, but
Speaker 1: especially with basketball. I don't know why, just like but
Speaker 1: obviously I feel like it's kind of like all basketball
Speaker 1: players wanna be football players, and all football players and
Speaker 1: players do you know how that goes? So I wished
Speaker 1: all the six five is to go dunker damn ball
Speaker 1: every time I want it. But uh, I liked the
Speaker 1: sport a lot. Chase. Remember if you need courtside seats,
Speaker 1: you have a son's minority honor in your locker room. Yeah, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you have to know that. Hey, you know what, Chase, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I've wanted to ask you this for a long time,
Speaker 1: but do you talk to your teammates about the other
Speaker 1: team's offense. Like, do you walk around and talk to
Speaker 1: some of your defensive players in the locker room about
Speaker 1: the other team's offense and get I don't know a
Speaker 1: scouting report on them? Do you ever do that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm always talking. I'm always picking mind man, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to become a more intelligent, better football player. One of
Speaker 1: the defensive guys I'm constantly talking to about other opposing offenses,
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, just because Boot is always in the film room,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be always in the film room and
Speaker 1: just talk ball man. Understand how a defense thinks, Understand
Speaker 1: how offense takes It makes both guys better. You strike
Speaker 1: me as being a coach when it's all sudden done.
Speaker 1: Does that appeal to you? I'm I'm very it now.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be a coach, and then I
Speaker 1: think as I got into the NFL more man, I
Speaker 1: see you know the two because I see the hours
Speaker 1: that coaches put in. Yeah, and for me personally, I
Speaker 1: think coaches, you know, they don't get enough glory. You know,
Speaker 1: coaches the first one to get fired and the time
Speaker 1: goes bad. I mean they put in a lot of hours. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm leaning more towards GM. I want to go for office.
Speaker 1: I haven't really decided, yea, I think you know, I
Speaker 1: gotta do to grow up and you'll get more experience
Speaker 1: to really decide what I want to be. But definitely
Speaker 1: coaching her or GM. Dude. I love talking to you, man.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Chase for your time tonight. App Hey,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what We're better off for having you.
Speaker 1: We're more intelligent for having you here tonight in the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage, there's no doubt Adrian Wilson, move over,
Speaker 1: You're gonna have company a former Cardinals player in the
Speaker 1: front office. Back to wrap up this addition to the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage, third and gold to two, Warner parks
Speaker 1: up the call, Fitzgerald in motion to the new year's
Speaker 1: side play fake Warner rolling right, throws right, Fitzgerald touchdown,
Speaker 1: tenth ketch already for Larry Fitzgerald today and the first
Speaker 1: offensive touchdown for the Cardinals this year. There within two
Speaker 1: of New York with seven o four to play in
Speaker 1: the third day. Pash love Zach Cliff because he sounds
Speaker 1: like he's seventeen years old. He basically was seventeen years
Speaker 1: old in that cliff because that goes back to two
Speaker 1: thousand five. That is the very first Kurt Warner to
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald touchdown connection. Think about that, well, the first
Speaker 1: of forty nine Kurt to Larry touchdown connections, including the postseason.
Speaker 1: So how about that. It's big time, Polly, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. And that was at the Giants two thousand
Speaker 1: and five. Now we know back in the day you
Speaker 1: used to go in and take on the Giants every
Speaker 1: single year, back when they are in the same division.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's interesting as a guy Wolf who
Speaker 1: went to four Pro Bowls as a special teams ace,
Speaker 1: you know, they've struggled. They had a punt blocked, Seattle
Speaker 1: got a safety out of it. Cincinnati a little while
Speaker 1: ago had a kickoff return of one hundred three yards
Speaker 1: and a big time punt return. And it'd be great
Speaker 1: to get a couple of plays on special teams to
Speaker 1: just spark this team overall. And it's so interesting, Bully,
Speaker 1: because you know the special teams of course, made a
Speaker 1: play last week, Charles Washington boat ball out, you know,
Speaker 1: get on that thing, and the offense scored a couple
Speaker 1: of plays later. You know, it's what special teams does.
Speaker 1: It trolls field position and of course momentum. It brings
Speaker 1: momentum to a football game, both positive and negative. In Paul,
Speaker 1: this is a big game, buddy. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: you know that. You don't need to be told that
Speaker 1: this is a huge game. In fact, Patrick Peterson was
Speaker 1: talking about just that. We always say that the next
Speaker 1: game is big, but it's is huge for us because
Speaker 1: you know, now we own a what a three game
Speaker 1: losing street and we got to find a hood to
Speaker 1: get out of that phone and the like I said,
Speaker 1: we got four games left for us to lay it
Speaker 1: all on the line. You know, this is going to
Speaker 1: really show how important the game is to the guys
Speaker 1: on his team. Think about it, the old saying winning
Speaker 1: solves everything, And if the Cardinals win, it's real easy.
Speaker 1: They're back into the playoff picture. They're back in the
Speaker 1: wildcard because Tampa and Minnesota play each other. The question
Speaker 1: becomes wolf when you say that the defensive coordinator in
Speaker 1: New York is a Belichick disciple. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: get a little worried because those guys have had success
Speaker 1: against this Cardinals offense this year. Yeah, you should get
Speaker 1: a little bit worried, right there is You're right, they
Speaker 1: have had success against his Cardinals offense. And again, Patrick Graham,
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Giants, he's going to be a
Speaker 1: head coach at some point in time, Paully. This is
Speaker 1: a guy that was under Bill Belichick for seven years
Speaker 1: in four different capacities, whether it was as a defensive
Speaker 1: line coach, secondary coach, right a defensive assistant, whatever it was.
Speaker 1: This guy knows Bill Belichick. He knows everything about him,
Speaker 1: this system of course that he uses. And then he
Speaker 1: also worked with Matt Patricia and he also worked with
Speaker 1: Brian Flores. Can you imagine the conversations these men have
Speaker 1: probably had about this offense, Paul, and the Giants have
Speaker 1: won four in a row. They're balling and it's and
Speaker 1: you hear what Chase said, he said, he repeatedly, they're
Speaker 1: an ultra physical task, Baul. So to pat P's final
Speaker 1: point there, you're going to find out how bad the
Speaker 1: guys want it. You're right you will. Because this Giants
Speaker 1: team competes seven straight games, they've rushed for more than
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. They just put one hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: yep rushing yards on there. It is, Polly right there.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't want to make Seattle's defense out
Speaker 1: to be the greatest thing in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: It is not. We know just how bad they really are,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't account for the other six games the
Speaker 1: Giants have played and the way that they are running
Speaker 1: the ball right now. They are a physical team, There's
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. They have a really good defense.
Speaker 1: They have their starting quarterback. I think Daniel Jones is
Speaker 1: gonna play. I mean, Paul, I think he's gonna play,
Speaker 1: is gonna be ready to go. And right now, let's
Speaker 1: face it, the momentum for the Giants is headed up.
Speaker 1: For the Cardinals right now, it's been trending in the
Speaker 1: other direction. Losing four or five. Their quarterback has taken heat.
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is a question mark. I mean, honestly, Paully,
Speaker 1: these two teams are going to be fighting for their
Speaker 1: playoff lives on Sunday. You know, Daniel Jones, before he
Speaker 1: went out, he had played three straight games without a turnover. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's miraculous for the young man turnin season and a
Speaker 1: half in the league. Fully, that is well said by
Speaker 1: you right there. It's a big deal. When you go
Speaker 1: back and you look over the last three games, man,
Speaker 1: he got it go now only fully threw one touchdown,
Speaker 1: but he threw no picks over those three games and
Speaker 1: through for over seven hundred yards. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: really started to clean his game up before he got hurt.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Don't turn the ball over. Having defense that's
Speaker 1: number three in takeaways with twenty, and then your defense
Speaker 1: has only allowed six offensive touchdowns during this four game win. Stream. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's your old saying. You go on the road, you
Speaker 1: take your special teams in your defense. Yep, you try
Speaker 1: and bring an attitude. Hopefully, if indeed the Cardinals truly
Speaker 1: are angry, as coach Kingsbury let us know, then boom,
Speaker 1: yeah you'll get one of those old NFC East type
Speaker 1: games Cardinals and Giant Special Thanks Cody Fincher, Jim Almohundro,
