Speaker 4: because we go to Philly. The Cardinals go to Philly,
Speaker 4: and Cardinals will get their own shot at the Eagles
Speaker 4: on New Year's even I'm guessing there won't be much
Speaker 4: brotherly love in that stadium.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, I think you're right on that, Paul.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a blood bath with no further ado.
Speaker 4: Everyone give it up for our big guest on the
Speaker 4: Big Red, Rage Keyante Ingram, coming off a career game
Speaker 4: at the La Rams. Kyante, how you feeling this evening?
Speaker 4: I'm feeling pretty good, feeling pretty good.
Speaker 5: Really, go well, you know what's coming out of the
Speaker 5: shoot right now? Kyante? What's your weight at right now?
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, you need to know this right now.
Speaker 5: I like I like Kiante at about two hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty five pounds and I know it's kind of a
Speaker 5: setup because I was talking to you before we actually
Speaker 5: hit the air, But Kyante, what is your weight at
Speaker 5: right now?
Speaker 6: I'm currently twenty five.
Speaker 1: To twenty five. Bali Wolf is.
Speaker 4: Like a lawyer on this show. He doesn't ask any
Speaker 4: questions he doesn't already know the answer to. Okay, yes, yeah,
Speaker 4: and he sent me up. Yeah, it wasn't sort of
Speaker 4: a setup. It was a complete setup right there. What
Speaker 4: do you feel like on a Monday you know, you
Speaker 4: get ten carries, you run for forty yards, right, I
Speaker 4: mean you're on teams. What do you feel like, you know,
Speaker 4: as a human battering ram at times on a Monday morning?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not gonna little so little banged up little.
Speaker 6: Bruce, you know. But that's just the nature of the game,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 7: And at the doing this for so long, you just
Speaker 7: get immune to it, you know, so you kind of
Speaker 7: already know what this speck.
Speaker 4: So and by doing this for this long, we're talking
Speaker 4: since basically he was a freshman in high school and
Speaker 4: by the time he was done with high school, he
Speaker 4: was a USA to Day All American and one of
Speaker 4: the top recruits in the country. And we'll get into
Speaker 4: all that, okay, But right now, let's just talk about
Speaker 4: maybe some of the takeaways in this offense. And I
Speaker 4: know Wolf's going to get into this big time. I'll
Speaker 4: just ask the first initial question. I mean, when you
Speaker 4: look at this offense versus last year, zach Ert said
Speaker 4: in the off season to Wolf actually an interview, and
Speaker 4: he said, you know what, this offense couldn't be any
Speaker 4: more different than last year. And we see it in
Speaker 4: the rushing numbers. You guys are number six in the
Speaker 4: NFL and rushing yards number two in yards per carry.
Speaker 4: Just tell us about the approach, the mentality this year
Speaker 4: when it comes to running the ball.
Speaker 7: When first, when JJ got in the building, of course
Speaker 7: he texts us, you know, and he let us know
Speaker 7: right then and there he wanted to the ball, you know.
Speaker 7: And of course they're like Christmas tree to us, and
Speaker 7: we take pride in it, you know, and going into
Speaker 7: a balanced offense compared to the last year, more of like.
Speaker 6: The air raid.
Speaker 7: We knew a lot of a lot of weight was
Speaker 7: gonna be on our shoulders, so we prepared in the
Speaker 7: off season, put it in over time, put it in
Speaker 7: the work, make sure we understood the playbook and meet
Speaker 7: the expectations when we go out there on Sunday.
Speaker 5: So, how do you think you actually ran the ball?
Speaker 5: Not just you personally, Kiante, but the entire team against
Speaker 5: the Rams. How do you think you guys did just
Speaker 5: in terms of running the ball? I feel like we
Speaker 5: did good.
Speaker 7: Of course, we're gonna the competitive nature go always say
Speaker 7: we can do better. I feel like we left the
Speaker 7: little meat on the bone, you know. But the chemistry
Speaker 7: is there, you know, and the numbers speaks for itself statistically,
Speaker 7: and we take pride in it, you know. So I
Speaker 7: feel like the run game is improved much better and
Speaker 7: we're gonna keep getting better.
Speaker 4: So yeah, thirty for a buck, thirty four point three
Speaker 4: yards of ca And you know what else we found out?
Speaker 4: Not only was there a three running back rotation, we
Speaker 4: found out yet again your quarterback can run Kenny.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, love what does.
Speaker 4: What's amazing is how many guys in that locker room
Speaker 4: on both sides of the ball are surprised by how
Speaker 4: fast Josh stops is because they're like, we never saw
Speaker 4: it in practice. So when did you first realize, wait
Speaker 4: a minute, this guy's legit.
Speaker 1: He can really run.
Speaker 7: I think it was just saying, friend, that week was
Speaker 7: a tough competition. We knew the competition that was coming
Speaker 7: up and the guys that was over there. And I
Speaker 7: think one time he kind of hit the sideline a
Speaker 7: little bit tight wrote the sideline and think Bobby Wagner
Speaker 7: or Bobby was trying.
Speaker 6: To get him.
Speaker 7: And to see him out run that man, I was
Speaker 7: like whoa, you know and kind of shot a couple
Speaker 7: of us, you know what I'm saying. And going into
Speaker 7: the week, that wasn't a game plan, you know, And
Speaker 7: to see him get those extra yards, specially when we
Speaker 7: was behind the yard sticks, you know, kind of get
Speaker 7: us into the next game plan. You know who he is,
Speaker 7: showing us a few things, earning the team trust, you know.
Speaker 6: So I feel like it was that we play shim
Speaker 6: for any kind of set.
Speaker 5: You know. One of the things Kiante, I love about
Speaker 5: your game is I think you're in every down back.
Speaker 5: I think you're a guy that can hold up in
Speaker 5: all three phases. I think you're a guy that you
Speaker 5: can run the ball of course, especially in between the tackles.
Speaker 5: I like that you got a little bloody nose in you,
Speaker 5: if you know what I mean. And I also like
Speaker 5: the fact you can come out of the backfield and
Speaker 5: be a receiver and catch the ball. You did it
Speaker 5: again on Sunday as well. And I also love the
Speaker 5: fact you can hold up in protection as well. You'll
Speaker 5: stick it on somebody, will you not. So I'll ask
Speaker 5: you this, my friend, what is your favorite thing to
Speaker 5: do in the game of football? What is your favorite
Speaker 5: play in the game of football? I'll say the stretch.
Speaker 1: You know, a bigger you're talking about the tackle zone,
Speaker 1: the outside side. There you go. Yes, I'm a bigger guy.
Speaker 7: Love a stride guy, a little heavy, you know. So
Speaker 7: I like to get going. I like to get the
Speaker 7: defense moving a little bit and to punch them. I'm
Speaker 7: a one cut guy, north south mentality, and I live
Speaker 7: by that and talk by.
Speaker 1: That, you know.
Speaker 5: So, Yeah, that's I love that solection right there by you,
Speaker 5: because you are a north south guy. In order to
Speaker 5: be good at that, you've got to have a quick cut.
Speaker 5: You've got to have good vision. You gotta be able
Speaker 5: to see it because sometimes that hole is gonna open
Speaker 5: up in different spots, There's no doubt about that. And
Speaker 5: then you got to be able to dip and rep
Speaker 5: and you kind of like that right. I love it, man.
Speaker 5: I feel like my game is diverse, you know.
Speaker 7: I like to do a little bit of everything between
Speaker 7: the tacles, outside the tackles. I like to make people
Speaker 7: miss you know, I ain't gonna get no ideas, but
Speaker 7: I'm gonna keep it there. But yeah, I feel like
Speaker 7: my game is very versatile, you know. I like to
Speaker 7: keep the defense guessing, get and I lean on it.
Speaker 1: What are you looking for?
Speaker 4: A lot of people watch play like that and they're like,
Speaker 4: are they just see chaos?
Speaker 1: Right? As a running back? What are you looking for?
Speaker 4: Or and how do you know when to go north
Speaker 4: south and make that cut?
Speaker 7: I feel like they're starting the game plan la particularly.
Speaker 7: We knew they was in the five man front, so
Speaker 7: we knew it wasn't gonna be too much dance and
Speaker 7: more of a north south mentality. I feel like it
Speaker 7: just starts at the beginning of the week, preparation, knowing
Speaker 7: who you going against, knowing the opponent, his tendencies and
Speaker 7: stuff like that.
Speaker 6: So yeah, the begin of the week that's winning start.
Speaker 4: Well. Look, Cardinals did a lot of really good things
Speaker 4: in the first half, and then the second half it
Speaker 4: was almost a complete flip.
Speaker 1: Of the script unbelievable.
Speaker 4: It really was, even just the mentality of the Rams
Speaker 4: they started with nine of the first ten plays of
Speaker 4: the game were passes. Nine of the first ten plays
Speaker 4: and the second half were runs. And then of course
Speaker 4: it always comes down, always comes down, especially division games,
Speaker 4: to a handful of plays, and for the Cardinals, the
Speaker 4: red zone was key, and that was something that Jonathan
Speaker 4: Gannon lamented after the loss.
Speaker 8: When we had opportunities down there was are four point plays,
Speaker 8: which makes the game completely different. You know, if the
Speaker 8: score is a little bit different at halftime, maybe they
Speaker 8: don't do that in the second half. So we got
Speaker 8: to just make sure we're converting those four point plays
Speaker 8: down there and make sure we put up some more points.
Speaker 4: In terms of halftime adjustments, did they We know what
Speaker 4: they did offensively, right, But in terms of that Rams defense,
Speaker 4: how different was it in the second half.
Speaker 7: It wasn't too much different, especially on the defensive side.
Speaker 7: I think they got the ball first, they came out,
Speaker 7: ran the ball. I don't think we got the ball
Speaker 7: back until like nine or eight minutes left in the game,
Speaker 7: so we kind of got behind a little bit. So
Speaker 7: he kind of got to get away from the game
Speaker 7: playing a little bit. They kind of executed their three downs.
Speaker 7: We kind of went three and that a little bit,
Speaker 7: so they kind of bit us in it. But so
Speaker 7: when we got in the fourth quarter, it kind of
Speaker 7: got a little dicey. You know, we kind of had
Speaker 7: to throw a little bit more than we wanted to,
Speaker 7: especially as running backs.
Speaker 6: You know, so sometime that's how the game get so.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so crazy about it, Paula.
Speaker 5: You look at some of the numbers from that game,
Speaker 5: but the Cardinals had twenty first downs, the Rams at seventeen.
Speaker 5: The Cardinals were thirty eight percent. On third down the
Speaker 5: Rams were thirty three percent. You know, the Cardinals rant
Speaker 5: seventy three plays to the Rams fifty five. That is
Speaker 5: a massive disparity. You're running seventy three plays to their
Speaker 5: fifty five. And you know what, the yards pretty much
Speaker 5: a wash at three forty five and three eighty two
Speaker 5: right there, pretty much a wash. They did a lot
Speaker 5: of things right, but when you got to the red zone,
Speaker 5: they were two of five in the red zone and
Speaker 5: we were zero for three in the red zone.
Speaker 1: And that was the difference in the game.
Speaker 4: Even the time of possession was twenty one nine Cardinals
Speaker 4: in the first half twenty one nine rams in the
Speaker 4: second half.
Speaker 1: I mean, how remarkable is that? Right?
Speaker 4: And then the other thing about this game going in
Speaker 4: is you're going in without James Connor, you know, two
Speaker 4: time Pro Bowl running back, and here's your offensive coordinator.
Speaker 4: After the game it was a three running back rotation
Speaker 4: featuring County ingram our guest here in the big Red Rage,
Speaker 4: and here's your offensive coordinator, Drew Petsen, and what he
Speaker 4: liked about that.
Speaker 9: They did some nice things. You know, there's as always
Speaker 9: there's going to be a cutter or run that they
Speaker 9: want back. But I thought as a whole they handled
Speaker 9: the game plan really well. I thought they played it,
Speaker 9: you know, effort and energy was really good. So I
Speaker 9: think that's a it's a week to week decision. Certainly,
Speaker 9: be in the flow of the game, you know, who's
Speaker 9: got the hot hand and how are we doing so,
Speaker 9: But but happy with where we're at and going to
Speaker 9: continue moving forward in that direction.
Speaker 4: And look, James Conner's on ir so three more games
Speaker 4: at least, So where does the run game take the
Speaker 4: next step this week?
Speaker 7: In your opinion, be more consistent especially with who we
Speaker 7: are identity just stick to it, man, keep building that
Speaker 7: chemistry offensive by chemistry, timing where to go, who to go,
Speaker 7: especially adjusted to the front and stuff like that. So
Speaker 7: I just keep saying being consistent, sticking to who we are,
Speaker 7: you know, the ground pound, couple of gaps, games, wide
Speaker 7: zone type zone.
Speaker 5: So yeah, tell me a little bit about Davy and
Speaker 5: Ploys quickly.
Speaker 1: Do you have time to tell me? What is the
Speaker 1: cool think about David Williams. Man.
Speaker 7: The coolest thing about him, man, he's he's forty five,
Speaker 7: that's what you tell Yeah, But the cooler thing he
Speaker 7: played at Oklahoma.
Speaker 6: Those I gotta give him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, that's good.
Speaker 4: We'll get into Kante's deep Texas roots.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that.
Speaker 6: Little bit next.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, his final year at USC who by the way,
Speaker 4: I'm still blaming for the disintegration of the Pac twave.
Speaker 4: We'll get into that a little bit, and then we'll get.
Speaker 1: Into all these chunk runs.
Speaker 4: The Cardinals already have more twenty plus yard runs this
Speaker 4: year than they had all of last season.
Speaker 1: Think about that. Single game tickets on sale now.
Speaker 4: Go to Easycardinals dot com slash buy tickets to secure
Speaker 4: your seats today on we go. It's the big red
Speaker 4: rage with Keanta Ingram coming at you live from Trophy
Speaker 4: and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson.
Speaker 3: Ing from the tailback. He'll get the call off the
Speaker 3: right side. Got grease forty five and down near the
Speaker 3: forty And.
Speaker 5: That is what I am talking about right there running
Speaker 5: the tackle zoned.
Speaker 1: Twelve yard gain in the first down.
Speaker 3: Dobbs takes and it's a deep dropping a quick girl
Speaker 3: to the running back far side, caught Ingram in midfield,
Speaker 3: turns block forty five and gets knocked down there close
Speaker 3: to the line. The game looks like he has.
Speaker 5: It, Josh Dobbs on the swing, seeing him on the swing.
Speaker 5: Rocke just threw the ball. That was a great catch.
Speaker 5: Keante Ingram went down to get that.
Speaker 1: That was not easy.
Speaker 3: And it's a handoff to Ingram off the right sock
Speaker 3: inside the twenty five to twenty spun forward first down
Speaker 3: of the fifteen tackled thy young, but a gain of eleven.
Speaker 3: There you go, Keyante about that little montage.
Speaker 4: Three plays in the Rams game, kant Ingram ten carries
Speaker 4: forty yards rushing and as Bull said, three aspects to
Speaker 4: his game. The running the catching the blocking coach has
Speaker 4: got to trust you in the pass pro game. He
Speaker 4: checks every single box And because I do, here's what
Speaker 4: I do on this show. Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley, and
Speaker 4: Keanta Ingram Cardinals running back Here in the Big Red Rage,
Speaker 4: presented by Santan Fording Gilbert Live from Trophy and Chandler.
Speaker 4: I specialize in asking the dumb guy question.
Speaker 1: So here we go.
Speaker 4: Can running backs really get in that rhythm?
Speaker 1: You hear up?
Speaker 4: And how many reps? How many carries for you does
Speaker 4: it take to get into what you would qualify as
Speaker 4: a rhythm.
Speaker 7: I would say, of course, I agree with that. Everybody
Speaker 7: got us get in a rhythm, just like we game
Speaker 7: plan and game plan obviously, But if I just had
Speaker 7: to put a number out there, I'll say nine and ten,
Speaker 7: I feel like, okay, broke them down, know where they're
Speaker 7: fitting because when you go into game plan, you can
Speaker 7: only do so much. You know, everything is universal, everything's
Speaker 7: by gap and replacement.
Speaker 5: So yeah, you know, Keyante, I know James Connor, and
Speaker 5: James Connor is one of these guys. He's like everybody's
Speaker 5: big brother for the most sponder. You know what, that's
Speaker 5: what it's like, right there, he's a very helpful guy
Speaker 5: as well, Like he is a great mentor. That's way
Speaker 5: I see him. What is he taught you? What is
Speaker 5: James Connor actually taught you about the National Football League?
Speaker 1: About the game of football.
Speaker 7: I can say a lot of things, you know, but
Speaker 7: I'm gonna keep you short and sweet. The highs and
Speaker 7: the lows. Uh, that's what he taught me the most,
Speaker 7: you know. And when he said that, you know, I
Speaker 7: was like, man, like it could be more perfect timing,
Speaker 7: perfect situation. He was just telling me about his situation
Speaker 7: when he first came to the league, how he kind
Speaker 7: of had to sit down a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: And he's a two time pro bowler, you know. So
Speaker 7: the highs and the lows. Man, expect the highs and
Speaker 7: respect the lows.
Speaker 6: That's what he telling me.
Speaker 1: That is so cool right there. It really is important.
Speaker 5: Man. I cannot tell you, Paul, the impact that a
Speaker 5: veteran will have on a younger guy.
Speaker 4: And I'm guessing he's referring to the fact he missed
Speaker 4: his junior year of college. He had to defeat cancer,
Speaker 4: get over a dozen chemotherapy.
Speaker 1: Yeah sessions.
Speaker 4: He came back, he played, he got drafted in the
Speaker 4: third round by the Steelers where he had gone to college, right,
Speaker 4: and then he tell with injury a great success.
Speaker 1: So those highs and lows.
Speaker 4: So but at the same time, when I hear him
Speaker 4: on the sideline, you see him, he always talks about
Speaker 4: it's a mentality, it's a mindset. That's one of his
Speaker 4: favorite sayings. The guys really follow up, James Connor, what
Speaker 4: does he mean by that? For everyone who's not on
Speaker 4: that sideline when he says it's a mindset, what's he
Speaker 4: talking about?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 7: When negative thoughts creep in, you know, the character really
Speaker 7: speaks for itself, the character really come out, you know.
Speaker 7: And James, he's always in that mindset. You know, he
Speaker 7: lives by that mindset. He dies by that mindset. It
Speaker 7: could be six thirty in the morning, five o'clock in
Speaker 7: the morning and JC ready to go.
Speaker 6: Man, that's how already embedded in him, you know.
Speaker 7: So when you get in that low situation, man, uh,
Speaker 7: just that character, you know, could you be that same
Speaker 7: person each and every day when it gets hard, when
Speaker 7: it gets tough, you know, when things not going your way,
Speaker 7: you know, so so.
Speaker 5: You know here here it is your second year in
Speaker 5: the league, of course, have you had that moment in
Speaker 5: the National Football League where you said to yourself, Oh
Speaker 5: my goodness, this, I'm geeking out a little bit here.
Speaker 5: You know, I'll never forget my rookie year, just running
Speaker 5: into Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 1: My rookie year. Now, Lawrence Taylor, do you know who
Speaker 1: that is? Do you know? Okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, just the baddest man in the history of
Speaker 5: the game of football, ladies and gentlemen. That's all I'm
Speaker 5: telling you right now. Okay, I don't want to hear
Speaker 5: about Aaron Donald. I don't want to hear. I'm sorry
Speaker 5: Lawrence Taylor to me change the entire game of football
Speaker 5: and how football was played. This is the baddest man
Speaker 5: on the face of the planet. I kind of geeked down,
Speaker 5: you know, when I ran into him, and you know, man,
Speaker 5: that's Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 1: You know, I just.
Speaker 5: Can't even believe it. You know, have you have? Have
Speaker 5: you had a moment like that at all? You're you know,
Speaker 5: I know this is your second year, it's such a
Speaker 5: rookie year. But did you have a geek out moment
Speaker 5: at all your rookie year? I would say I did
Speaker 5: when I played against the Saints. Man when I make
Speaker 5: Cam Joy man.
Speaker 1: Oh, Cam George do right? Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know when I ran to him, I think
Speaker 7: it was this outs stretch to the outside. We was
Speaker 7: going to their sideline to the boundary, and I think
Speaker 7: Beach was at right tackle and he kind of not
Speaker 7: Beach unto my left and then I ran into him, like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: that's so.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Did I ask you that before, by the way, because
Speaker 5: I vaguely remember you actually saying that, Yeah, Cam George,
Speaker 5: now that you said, yeah, what a dude, Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: a player.
Speaker 4: This Thursday Night football last year. Right, you scored touchdown
Speaker 4: to that game?
Speaker 1: Right, I did supposed to be too, but that's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Well here's your offensive coordinator, Drew Patsen
Speaker 4: talking about the Stateier game in year two.
Speaker 1: Petsing very smooth runner.
Speaker 9: I think he sees the field really well, makes really
Speaker 9: good decisions, tries to finish his runs violently. So I'd
Speaker 9: really expect to see that growth continue here as we
Speaker 9: moved through the season and through his career. But really
Speaker 9: pleased with the way he's played.
Speaker 4: All right, So cantu Anger might put it to you,
Speaker 4: where do you think you've improved the since you were
Speaker 4: drafted to now.
Speaker 7: I would say between the tackles, I feel like that's
Speaker 7: the most part that in this game. I always been there,
Speaker 7: especially with the type of bill that I have, especially
Speaker 7: with my running style. But I would say between the tackles, man,
Speaker 7: guys are more meaty, guys are faster, quicker, stronger, you know, smarter,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 6: Just a little bit of everything. You know.
Speaker 7: So after year one I knew going to year two
Speaker 7: that's one thing that I need to harp on. And
Speaker 7: like we said earlier, twenty five or.
Speaker 4: Either well and it's no look, old lineman love nothing
Speaker 4: more than a running back who doesn't go down in
Speaker 4: first context. Yes, right, I mean the old lineman watch good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they want to see you actually stoke it. There's
Speaker 5: no doubt about that. Let me ask you this here.
Speaker 5: Are you good at blitz peckoff? Do you think you're
Speaker 5: good at blitz peckoff? Because you know, I've heard some
Speaker 5: coaches actually compliment you on this. Do you think you're
Speaker 5: good picking up a blitzing linebacker or blitzing defender. Do
Speaker 5: you think you're good at it? I feel like I'm
Speaker 5: great at it. Really, Yes, you feel like I love that?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that to me is for anyone that's listening
Speaker 5: right now, it's one of the most beautiful parts of
Speaker 5: the game. You're sitting there, you're protecting your quarterback and
Speaker 5: here comes a blitzing linebacker and you just strike the
Speaker 5: dude right the boom, check them up a little bit
Speaker 5: right there. It's a way to get back at some
Speaker 5: of these linebackers who think they're just going to run
Speaker 5: you over. It's one of my favorite things that used
Speaker 5: to be one of my favorite things to do back
Speaker 5: when I played to actually do it, and it takes
Speaker 5: a mindset and a mentality, as Paul was talking about
Speaker 5: it earlier, doesn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And talk about some of the linebackers in there.
Speaker 4: You got a Fred Warner right a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 4: mad you get Bobby Wagner this week. I mean, talk
Speaker 4: about that sort of matchup. When you're going into those
Speaker 4: sort of games, I mean, you tell us, I mean,
Speaker 4: how do you prepare for that aspect of the game.
Speaker 7: I gotta be on point those guys, you know, they're
Speaker 7: they're big names for a reason, you know, And uh,
Speaker 7: I feel like I'm also a big name for a reason.
Speaker 7: So uh, I feel like it's for bragging rights to
Speaker 7: sit on the couch one day being and tell my kids, Man,
Speaker 7: I played against these guys and yeah, I actually went
Speaker 7: in there and dominated, you know, But ultimately I want
Speaker 7: to get a win, you know. But man, it's it's
Speaker 7: bigger than that. Man, it's about winning. Uh, it's about
Speaker 7: doing it for your brother, something that you wouldn't want
Speaker 7: to do since she was a kid, you know. So Uh,
Speaker 7: to go out there and complete the mission, I feel
Speaker 7: like that's the thrill that everybody wants to seek.
Speaker 4: You know, so well, your your head coach, I mean
Speaker 4: from day one has been bullish on you and your
Speaker 4: skill set. And here's what he said recently on what
Speaker 4: you bring to the offense.
Speaker 8: Kant ingram, elusiveness, power, does the right thing, doesn't turn
Speaker 8: it over, good ball security, and can hit home runs.
Speaker 4: And all you have to do Wolf is go ahead
Speaker 4: and google up some of his high school hoighlights to
Speaker 4: realize he's been doing this for a while.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you take us back.
Speaker 4: At what point, At what point were you identified as Okay,
Speaker 4: you know what this young man has potential in the
Speaker 4: game of football. You must have been pretty darn young,
Speaker 4: because hey, you have like nine siblings, right, and you
Speaker 4: have some older brothers who make quite a name. So
Speaker 4: you have a lineage in your family, right. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: it wasn't exactly a shock. There were probably eyes on
Speaker 4: you when you were fairly young. Yeah, so tell us
Speaker 4: about that life, because how big was your town? This
Speaker 4: is Wolfe's other favorite questions.
Speaker 1: As you take no answer.
Speaker 5: Ten thousand, ten thousand, Carthage, Texas, Yes, far East Texas.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what's life like in Carthage?
Speaker 6: Small country town?
Speaker 7: Everybody knows everybody, Everybody looks at everybody.
Speaker 1: You know. I love that, man.
Speaker 6: I remember my mom had three jobs.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 7: My cousin is right beside me. She cooked for everybody,
Speaker 7: and she should have eight to nine kids.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: So I come from a big family, small city, the
Speaker 7: country town. Uh, small city kid with big dreams, you know.
Speaker 5: So you know, Keante, Do you want to Yeah? No,
Speaker 5: that's very cool. Go ahead, applause especially from yeah yeah,
Speaker 5: from my oil course. But are you more country than
Speaker 5: anything else?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 5: I mean, do you want to? Would you retire? Would
Speaker 5: you move back to a small town when you're all
Speaker 5: done with everything.
Speaker 7: I'm definitely a slow pace guy, you are. I've been
Speaker 7: thinking about it, you know. I want to raise my kids.
Speaker 7: I want to have my own land, own animals. I
Speaker 7: love that I've started off there, you know, so I
Speaker 7: kind of want my kids to get a little bit there.
Speaker 7: So I could definitely see myself there, you know.
Speaker 4: So our Jim O'bhunter did a little research via the web.
Speaker 4: The city of Carthage is also known I guess it's
Speaker 4: oil country. It's known as the gas capital of the
Speaker 4: United States, and it also has a moniker is the
Speaker 4: friendliest spot in the world, really okay, And it's home
Speaker 4: to the world famous Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: And you guys play some pretty good high.
Speaker 1: School football there.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: So do you ever have that conversation with Kyler? Because
Speaker 4: he got three state titles? And how mean did you get?
Speaker 1: I got two, posted three, supposed to get three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you guys got all banged up? What your sophomore year?
Speaker 6: Sophomore?
Speaker 1: So ca'antell you.
Speaker 5: One of the things a lot of people don't know
Speaker 5: about Paul Calvici is Paul He's actually a pretty good
Speaker 5: line dancer.
Speaker 1: He's into the line dancing. Where's the line Detective.
Speaker 5: Paul White's putting on on that on a Saturday night,
Speaker 5: Paul will put the boots on the lizards boots and
Speaker 5: I'll throw a little toe top and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Where Where would he go in Carthage? Carthage? If he
Speaker 5: wanted to go, where would he go? I think that'd
Speaker 5: be hard.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of boots out there and a lot
Speaker 6: of fish and.
Speaker 1: Pos Is that right? So there's not a place. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's there's not a place on a Saturday night. Okay,
Speaker 1: there you go. See Wolf?
Speaker 4: Is that guy that in Texas? You know, the saying
Speaker 4: the guy they call all hat no cattle?
Speaker 1: That's Wolf?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's you know, just I mean, the closest I've
Speaker 4: come to that whole scene is watching Friday night lights.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the closest I've come to it. How close?
Speaker 4: How close was your life as a high school football
Speaker 4: player to Friday night lights and just the whole town
Speaker 4: shutting down? And you must have been a megastar, is
Speaker 4: like a first team All American? What was life like
Speaker 4: for you just going around town?
Speaker 6: Man? Uh?
Speaker 7: It gets tough at times, you know, sometimes they'd get annoying,
Speaker 7: but uh, it comes with the territory, you know. Uh,
Speaker 7: my life was like a movie man, the small country town. Man,
Speaker 7: everybody pull it up to the game just to see
Speaker 7: that opportunity, and that's what the town.
Speaker 6: Looks for, you know.
Speaker 7: So yeah, man, something I can remember something that I cherished.
Speaker 7: I come from winning state championships, you know, and uh,
Speaker 7: three days later we'll be back in the indoor getting
Speaker 7: it in, you know. And that's something that we just
Speaker 7: take pride in. Obviously. It's instilled in this early and
Speaker 7: like I said many times, man, Texas football is a religion.
Speaker 1: Man. That's that's awesome. That's really cool.
Speaker 4: It's really cool. I mean I think it's a press.
Speaker 4: I can only imagine the pressure. I mean, you're like
Speaker 4: sixteen and the locals are expecting a state championship to
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, man, it's a lot of pressure. But uh,
Speaker 7: that's what we live for, man.
Speaker 6: That's what the three of us.
Speaker 7: We're still close with your high school coach, yes, sir, Okay,
Speaker 7: so I thought that my running back coach almost every Okay,
Speaker 7: I love Thatow, that's great.
Speaker 1: It's really cool. That's really cool. You know.
Speaker 4: So just don't let Wolf, you know, talk to you
Speaker 4: about his fantasy football team.
Speaker 1: Okay, you got enough of that in high school.
Speaker 4: Guys telling you, you know, two touchdowns, you know that
Speaker 4: kind of stuff there, So no, it's really interesting. I mean,
Speaker 4: he was a phenomenal high school football player over five
Speaker 4: thousand yards rushing seventy six touchdowns. Like I said, first
Speaker 4: team All American. I will continue with Keante Ingram. It's
Speaker 4: the big red rage is that of a sand Tanford
Speaker 4: and Gilbert Lye from Trophy and Chandler located on Queen
Speaker 4: Creek Road between Price and Dobson.
Speaker 3: Got to throw Murray in trouble, spins out of there
Speaker 3: to his left, being chased by two Vikings, and launches.
Speaker 10: A deep, wide open near side of the forties Londel.
Speaker 3: Moore copp heap a thirty PA twenty at the fifteen
Speaker 3: to ten five touchdown.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, you are ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Murray matticks seventy seven yard touchdown.
Speaker 4: Past ninety nine point nine.
Speaker 1: Percent of the quarterbacks on the planet gets sacked.
Speaker 10: But not only does Kyler Murray not get sacked, here
Speaker 10: throws a touchdown.
Speaker 5: Nasty is as Nasty does, and we all know that
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray is nasty.
Speaker 3: The stuff you see in dreams and in video games,
Speaker 3: but not in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Whoa was that Rondale Moore's seventy seven yard grab after
Speaker 4: Kyler made the play to get away? Find the open
Speaker 4: man passionable needle like a commercial break right there, just
Speaker 4: to catch their breath after that play that highlight from
Speaker 4: the arsenal at Kyler Murray and guess what start the
Speaker 4: clock tick talk. Kyler Murray has been activated off pop.
Speaker 4: He's back at practice, So get ready for the whole
Speaker 4: comfort the arm, stay for the legs dynamic. The franchise
Speaker 4: quarterback is on his way back, and we are back
Speaker 4: in the Big Red Rage with running back key on
Speaker 4: to Ingram Here at Trophy in Chandler located on Queen
Speaker 4: Creek Road between Price and Dobson. The Big Red Rage
Speaker 4: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. All Right, we got
Speaker 4: a little bit of a look at Kyler Murray. What
Speaker 4: Michael Wilson told me this week that you know what,
Speaker 4: instead of grabbing some gatorade or some water on the sideline,
Speaker 4: instead he diverted his attention towards watching K.
Speaker 1: One because he wanted to see what Kyler is all about.
Speaker 1: Do you look like in practice this week? Man?
Speaker 6: K One?
Speaker 1: You know he is singular in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: isn't he? Nah?
Speaker 6: He is Man, he is the rookie running back.
Speaker 7: Imari asked me about him, Man, and like I told him, Man,
Speaker 7: I never getting my first day lit. Yes last year
Speaker 7: when he was throwing to aj Green, Man, it was
Speaker 7: the first snap OTAs Man. He died right in the
Speaker 7: tight window between booda bac and I was like, holy smokes, man,
Speaker 7: this got a real deal, you know. So he came
Speaker 7: back in yesterday, Man, and.
Speaker 6: He's k one. Man, He's k one.
Speaker 5: So like in regard to running some reps with the offense,
Speaker 5: I would imagine he went out there, they put him
Speaker 5: under the center, and they put him in the shotgun,
Speaker 5: and they put him in the pistol, whatever it may be.
Speaker 5: How did he seem to be doing mentally in regard
Speaker 5: to the plays and the schemes. Did he seemed like
Speaker 5: he had mastered the offense? Or is he still working
Speaker 5: on it?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 7: K one is an overachievement Man. He steps in the building, Man,
Speaker 7: he takes pride in it.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: So as soon as he came up in the offense.
Speaker 7: He's making out of booze. He's seen guys in motion.
Speaker 7: He's tending guys to cheat up on the ball. Make
Speaker 7: sure you know we all sit in the line, you know.
Speaker 7: And uh, that's just how he goes about business.
Speaker 1: Man. He let's make it checks. That's you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was man, he was Well, here's there was
Speaker 4: a video the Cardinals tweeted out here he is walking
Speaker 4: out to the practice field and he had something to
Speaker 4: say to the camera.
Speaker 6: But he told me, it's a big day, bro.
Speaker 5: But I mean it feels kind of normal.
Speaker 1: Well then it's a little long journey, you bet.
Speaker 6: I don't know how many days it's.
Speaker 1: Been, but long it's out.
Speaker 4: Look, it's his fifth year in the NFL. Yeah, he's
Speaker 4: already been a two Pro Bowls. Yeah, he was the
Speaker 4: Offensive Rookie of the Year. He's a Heisman winner. So
Speaker 4: he's been there and done that. This is the first
Speaker 4: major injury of his career. So obviously there's all that.
Speaker 4: But then we were standing in front of the locker
Speaker 4: of Hollywood Brown and we had to ask him because,
Speaker 4: as you know, they're best friends and they've been around
Speaker 4: each other a long time. Nobody knows Kyler better than
Speaker 4: Hollywood Brown, and they're tight. And so you know, we
Speaker 4: just asked Tyler Brown some of the new guys on
Speaker 4: the roster. There's a lot of new guys on this roster.
Speaker 4: No team has more new players than the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three. So they're seeing Kyler Murray up
Speaker 4: front for the first time, and Okay, what are they
Speaker 4: about to find out? Here's Hollywood Brown on that.
Speaker 11: I think they all know he not coming back to
Speaker 11: just be average. He coming back to prove a point.
Speaker 11: And I think they'll realizing very quickly.
Speaker 4: What do you think that point is.
Speaker 11: That he won the best quarterbacks in the league and
Speaker 11: that he's a winner. So that's what you want to show.
Speaker 4: He's deadly serious about not just coming back, but proving
Speaker 4: that point and really putting his bets on display, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, man, he is. Man's that's k one though.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 7: His track records speak for hisself. Man, he doing what
Speaker 7: he do in MLB, him winning the Heisman, him going
Speaker 7: first overall. Man, that caliber guy he walks with that
Speaker 7: you know, you can tell how he walks in the building.
Speaker 7: I mean, he's the only guy that you know. I
Speaker 7: ain't gonna say to us, but I love him. But yeah, man,
Speaker 7: that's just how you go about business. Hall jokes aside. Man,
Speaker 7: that's k one man. He's the leader.
Speaker 5: I have to tell you, Ken, I tell you right now,
Speaker 5: I cannot wait to see Kyler Murray in this kind
Speaker 5: of offense going forward, because once again, he's wildly talented.
Speaker 1: We know that.
Speaker 5: It's just my belief Conte to some degree, he's got
Speaker 5: to expand and evolve his game from under center so
Speaker 5: much of the time. And it doesn't always have to
Speaker 5: be that. He doesn't have to take forty snaps a
Speaker 5: game under center, but that, to me, I think is
Speaker 5: where he can grow his game the most. And I'm
Speaker 5: really excited to see if he embraces that. What do
Speaker 5: you think about that in terms of getting under center
Speaker 5: a little bit more for Kyler and growing that offense
Speaker 5: and evolving his game.
Speaker 1: I feel like that.
Speaker 7: Would be great for him, man, not just for him,
Speaker 7: but for the whole team. Man, him drop backing, can't
Speaker 7: nobody tackle him in open space? Him led leverage on
Speaker 7: the defense. I feel like that's gonna put this office
Speaker 7: in a great situation.
Speaker 1: You know, so it's not just that too County.
Speaker 5: It's also for me sometimes a quarterback just hand the
Speaker 5: ball off. Just know you're going to be able to
Speaker 5: hand the ball off. You're gonna call a play where
Speaker 5: he's not reading anything.
Speaker 1: Hand the ball off. I think that's big.
Speaker 5: That gives a quarterback a break every now and then
Speaker 5: to just say mentally, I'm gonna just hand the ball off.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to read anything on this play. We're
Speaker 5: gonna call the play, we're gonna line up in the formation,
Speaker 5: and we're gonna run the play. I think that that's
Speaker 5: important for a quarterback to actually get that kind of
Speaker 5: contrast in a game, because so much of the time
Speaker 5: the quarterback, as you well know, he's always making a play.
Speaker 5: He's always reading something. He's always looking it's A or
Speaker 5: it's B, or it's c's sometimes even he's always thinking.
Speaker 5: I think it's nice to just call a play, run
Speaker 5: the play, and just know you're gonna hand the ball off.
Speaker 5: I think that gives a quarterback a break every now
Speaker 5: and then.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Oh?
Speaker 6: Man, I love it.
Speaker 7: Espeisihally you guys six and thirty bag bear, you know,
Speaker 7: but that's what we take pride in man, take pressure
Speaker 7: off him. Man, it's not easy being a quarterback.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 7: It's a lot of stress on you. Yes, a lot
Speaker 7: of people don't understand. Sometimes the ride receiver run the
Speaker 7: wrong route. You see the ball just go to this
Speaker 7: open space and most of the time it'd be the
Speaker 7: robe receiver.
Speaker 6: But who takes the blame?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 7: So I feel like this would be good for him,
Speaker 7: less stress on him, more stress on us.
Speaker 6: So yes, win win, win, win.
Speaker 4: Here's what's intriguing, and we'll touched on it. He's run
Speaker 4: the spread, the air raid, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 4: He's operated out of the gun his whole life. Yeah,
Speaker 4: high school, college, Lincoln, Riley, Cliff Kingsbury. So think about this,
Speaker 4: our Craig GRIERLU did a little crunching of the numbers.
Speaker 4: So eighty five times in his four year career he's
Speaker 4: been under center. Do you know in six games Josh
Speaker 4: Dobbs has been under center already one hundred.
Speaker 1: And thirteen times.
Speaker 4: So think about just it's gonna be different, and I
Speaker 4: think that's part of the intrigue. All right, what does
Speaker 4: Kyler look like? You know what the skill set?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: When's it gonna be healthy and what's it going to
Speaker 4: look like in this offense? Okay, so, and look, Josh
Speaker 4: Dobbs has shined at times in this offense. I'm very
Speaker 4: sure noticed didn't get a single preseason snap, wasn't even
Speaker 4: in training camp. Now, last couple of games there's been
Speaker 4: a handful of plays obviously have diminished his performance. But
Speaker 4: weeks two through four he really was on the rise
Speaker 4: and ascending. And and here's what Josh Dobbs talked about
Speaker 4: this week in terms of what he's learned recently.
Speaker 12: We can't let it eat at you, but you do
Speaker 12: have to let it motivate you and make sure that
Speaker 12: when those opportunities are there again, you know, you don't
Speaker 12: get sneaked in by the by the same mistake. So
Speaker 12: I've recognized that, man, and you know we're on to
Speaker 12: next week, next opportunity, you know, with that knowledge in
Speaker 12: my back pocket, and you know will help us execute
Speaker 12: once those opportunities come back around.
Speaker 4: Like a true professionally took all the blame, a lot
Speaker 4: of it probably wasn't his fault after the game, But
Speaker 4: what is what does Josh Dobbs look like? What does
Speaker 4: he sounded like a practice this week man.
Speaker 7: Uh leader Uh Josh Dobbs. Man, he's a different kind
Speaker 7: of guy, you know. Obviously he's in the astronaut where
Speaker 7: I'm not too big on it and i don't know
Speaker 7: too much about it, so I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: Dig, you know.
Speaker 7: But man, that's the expectation when you play that role,
Speaker 7: you know, expect to win the games in your hands.
Speaker 7: Everybody's looking at you. Uh, you calling in the play
Speaker 7: you fill the playout man. So of course when things
Speaker 7: don't go your way, you're gonna put that on your shoulders.
Speaker 7: But obviously not Man, it's eleven guys on the field.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take part of that blame in it.
Speaker 7: Holly is Rondalez, you know, And that's just the expectation
Speaker 7: of the team.
Speaker 1: Sorry. Body.
Speaker 4: Your high school career sort of Chris crossed with Kyler Murray,
Speaker 4: did it, weren't you guys sort of the same era
Speaker 4: of high school ball. Do you remember Kyler is a
Speaker 4: Texas legend When you were playing.
Speaker 7: Yeah I do. I was a freshman. Kyler was singing,
Speaker 7: so caught the tail in.
Speaker 4: Yeah you remember that because a lot of the historians
Speaker 4: in Texas high school football consider him the best ever
Speaker 4: play high school football in the state.
Speaker 1: Okay, but that's quite a statement, that is its true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. That's a quarterback ball.
Speaker 5: Okay, we're just quarterback Okay, a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Single game tickets on sale.
Speaker 4: I got to Easycardinals dot com slash buy tickets to
Speaker 4: secure your seats today. See, you know, wolf puts quarterbacks
Speaker 4: same categories like punters and kickers. He thinks that, you know,
Speaker 4: like specialists. You know, I mean, if you didn't run
Speaker 4: down and throw yourself one hundred miles an hour into
Speaker 4: another man, apparently you were playing football, ron Wolfle, Is
Speaker 4: that what you're saying. We'll talk about playing the steak ops.
Speaker 1: Dude, come back on the bigger end range with Ingram.
Speaker 10: Put the Bakers come out to get a hand on
Speaker 10: boot A Baker put the Baker's a man who to
Speaker 10: Baker man man? Put the Baker's a man. After watch
Speaker 10: that's a running and hit and everything.
Speaker 13: I was with the Patriots at the time, and Buddha
Speaker 13: came in. We interviewed Booda at the Combine for our
Speaker 13: our twenty minute interview. After the end of that twenty
Speaker 13: minute interview, I think I was ready to run through
Speaker 13: a brick wall for Buddha Baker, and Buddha Baker represents
Speaker 13: everything that we want this organization to be and I
Speaker 13: am excited to be on a team with him.
Speaker 4: You just heard from a couple of decision makers in
Speaker 4: the NFL. That's Maniassa Bord, the Cardinals new GM.
Speaker 1: He shared a.
Speaker 4: Story of the draft combine once upon a time when
Speaker 4: he was with a different team, but Buddha came in
Speaker 4: and this sort of impression he made as a football
Speaker 4: player and as a young man in that room and
Speaker 4: before that that was actual NFL films audio. Mike Tomlin,
Speaker 4: the legendary Steelers head coach, miked up and his reaction
Speaker 4: as Buddha Baker was dominating a game. So even Mike
Speaker 4: Tomlin was raving about Buddha Baker. As we say, all right,
Speaker 4: wrapping up this edition to the Big Red Rage with
Speaker 4: Keanta Ingram, Cardinals running back, presented by santan Ford and
Speaker 4: Gilbert We are santan Ford live from Trophy in Chandler,
Speaker 4: located on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson. So
Speaker 4: we don't want to bury the lead on defense because
Speaker 4: Buddha is the heartbeat of the d in so many
Speaker 4: different ways?
Speaker 1: Would he look like in practice this week?
Speaker 7: Keante oh Man speaking of Buddha, Man, he kind of
Speaker 7: hit Corey cleaning today.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 6: That's good, yeah, man, But Buddha's looking like Buddha. Man.
Speaker 7: He was jumping, he was running, he was yelling in
Speaker 7: the locker room. You know, so, but it's good to have.
Speaker 7: But it's good.
Speaker 5: What do you think is Buddha Baker's best attribute? Because
Speaker 5: there's a lot of them there. There are a lot
Speaker 5: of things you could point to and say, Buddha does
Speaker 5: this so well.
Speaker 1: But if you had to pick one, what would that be? Key?
Speaker 7: I think I would say his mindset, man like fearless,
Speaker 7: Like that look guy like I never seen somebody so fearless.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 6: Just play with his heart man, just fearless man.
Speaker 1: At Seattle two years ago, three years ago.
Speaker 4: He knocked out two running backs, Yes, two Seattle running
Speaker 4: backs from hits from Buddha Baker that quote little guy right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: never came back.
Speaker 1: Into the game.
Speaker 4: And look, he's from Seattle area. He went to U dub.
Speaker 4: When he was in Washington, he was training with Richard
Speaker 4: Sherman and Earl Thomas and the legend of Boom so
Speaker 4: this he circles this game every single year on his calendar.
Speaker 4: He's going back home, he's taking you know, he's going
Speaker 4: there and we all know about the environment. In fact,
Speaker 4: here's Josh Dobbs just talking about Seattle and going to
Speaker 4: play in front of the twelves.
Speaker 12: We're going into a hostile environment. It's my first time
Speaker 12: going up there, so taking a new stadium. But I've
Speaker 12: heard stories about the twelve man and no and I've
Speaker 12: seen their impact on that they can have in a
Speaker 12: game from afar so and then we're playing a really
Speaker 12: good team on.
Speaker 1: Top of that. So it's going to take everything out.
Speaker 12: Of me to prepare to play really well on Sunday.
Speaker 12: Hold the guys accountable man and go out and let
Speaker 12: it it.
Speaker 4: So he made your NFL debut Week six at Seattle
Speaker 4: last year. What would you tell a rookie like Amri
Speaker 4: de Mercado about the environment and just what you're going into.
Speaker 1: Just be you his football.
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, it's always going to
Speaker 7: be people in this man, and the expectations will always
Speaker 7: be the you know, so uh, just going there and
Speaker 7: BEU man and just play the.
Speaker 1: Game, you know.
Speaker 5: Buddha Baker is one of those guys too. I have
Speaker 5: to say this because you know this Kante from playing
Speaker 5: in the league and playing organized football of course at a.
Speaker 1: Very high level in college.
Speaker 5: But there are certain guys that walk out onto the
Speaker 5: field that as soon as they step in between those
Speaker 5: white lines, they make other people around them better.
Speaker 1: They do.
Speaker 5: Buddha Baker is one of those guys because if you
Speaker 5: watch I know it's seriously, it's the truth. If you
Speaker 5: watch Buddha Baker play with the abandon that he plays
Speaker 5: the game, the physicality in which he plays the game,
Speaker 5: if you're not doing it, what's your problem? He immediately
Speaker 5: just by watching him play, he immediately challenges every guy
Speaker 5: on that sideline, whether it's offense, whether it's defense, or
Speaker 5: your special teams, whatever it may be. He challenges you,
Speaker 5: as a man, what are you doing? If you're not
Speaker 5: playing like Buddha's playing? Why why aren't you?
Speaker 1: That's and that's.
Speaker 5: Why he makes everyone else around him better.
Speaker 1: And there are rare guys that do that. Paul is
Speaker 1: one of them.
Speaker 4: All Right, let's talk about that Seattle defense you're going
Speaker 4: up against.
Speaker 1: Real quick.
Speaker 4: They are top five this year most run defense categories.
Speaker 4: A year ago, they are abysmal for the most part.
Speaker 4: So where's the improvement and what do you think the
Speaker 4: challenge is this week?
Speaker 7: The challenge is this week, of course gonna be in
Speaker 7: the run game man, balance offense.
Speaker 6: You got Seaattle defense.
Speaker 7: Of course, you got Bobby over there, now he got Brooks,
Speaker 7: you got Quandary back there. He got some good healthy
Speaker 7: feelers on the d line, you know. But the expectation
Speaker 7: is going over there and just dominate, man, Just be
Speaker 7: us statistically, I would.
Speaker 6: Numbers speak for their sieves too.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: Of course, we just gonna say anybody just gonna run over,
Speaker 7: you know, so just go over there and just play
Speaker 7: our game man, communicating and just insecute, you.
Speaker 5: Know when you watch them on tape as well, Bobby
Speaker 5: Wagner of course, in Jordan Brooks. That to me, I
Speaker 5: think is the strength of that defense right there, those
Speaker 5: two guys that are inside linebackers.
Speaker 1: What they do is they shut down the run.
Speaker 5: They do an excellent job of shutting down the run,
Speaker 5: and then they get after a quarterback. They're number eight
Speaker 5: in sacks per attempt this year, Paully. They're elite when
Speaker 5: it comes to shutting down the run and a lot
Speaker 5: of that has to do with Bobby Wagner and Jordan Brooks,
Speaker 5: those two guys, and they will bring them on blitzes
Speaker 5: as well. They will rush the passer. Bobby Wagner is
Speaker 5: tied with Jordan Brooks for the number two spot, tied
Speaker 5: for number two in terms of sacks on the team.
Speaker 5: Bobby Wagner and Jordan Brooks. They bring those inside guys.
Speaker 4: Speaking of sacks, once upon a time, Kalais Campbell had
Speaker 4: a three sack first half in Seattle. And I bring
Speaker 4: that up because the long time host of this very show,
Speaker 4: The Big Red Rage, just achieved his one hundredth career sack. Yes,
Speaker 4: forty one guys in NFL history have done that, Kalais,
Speaker 4: and he donated over one hundred thousand dollars as part
Speaker 4: of that to teachers in all the cities in which
Speaker 4: he has played football.
Speaker 1: So I mean, think you all that thing.
Speaker 5: The only thing bigger than Khalis Campbell is his heart. Yes, period,
Speaker 5: no doubt about it.
Speaker 4: Kanty Ingram, we really enjoyed it. Best of luck in Seattle.
Speaker 1: Thank thanks, Chante. Appreciate you, buddy, thank you.
Speaker 4: I love the fact too that the twelves in the
Speaker 4: environment it doesn't phase you for a minute.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been playing in the.
Speaker 4: Cowboys stadium since you're like fifteen years old, so.
Speaker 1: You're like whatever, you grew up in curfage exactly. Forget
Speaker 1: the twelve special.
