It doesn't 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:57.080 get any. 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:57.520 Better than that. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.839 So at one NFL training camp not named Cardinals Camp 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.960 earlier today, there was a VIP on the sidelines. Hey 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.360 look it's Hulk Hogan. He shot a promotional video with 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.000 the head coach and some camera time, etc. Here on 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.720 the Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert, 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.880 we settle for the guy with the wrestling announcer voice 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.000 and Ron Wolfley here is truly Paul KELVC. But wait 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.480 there is more. Not only Chris Moore is going to 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:37.240 join us, but Ron Wolfley entered the storyline of Cardinals 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.839 practice today when all of a sudden, wait a minute, 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:41.800 get off me. We got a little rooting in a 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.440 tooting going on, little scuffer kerffuffal, little skirmish Will Hernandez, 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.440 who then wolf afterwards cited you as a possible reason 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.000 for said skirmish based on an interview you did with 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.960 Will Hernandez earlier in the day. No way did you 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.320 speak it into existence when, according to Tyler Drake Arizona Sports, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.280 he reported that Will hernan has told him that whole 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.040 deal today was provided by wolf He believed. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.160 I know nothing about this, JG. I don't know what 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.079 Will's talking about. Although I did ask him bully when 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.840 he first sat down to do the interview, have you 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.400 gotten to a fight yet? I did. I did say 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.080 that to him, and it was kind of tongue in 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.399 cheek right there, knowing that yesterday was not a very 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.400 physical practice. Of course, they went out there and they 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.280 had the shorts on, they had a helmet on. I 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.440 understand that. But today, day two, there was not a fight. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.480 There was not a fight, bully, don't call it a fight. 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.919 There was a fight. There was a disagreement. There was 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.279 a disagreement that actually happened out there, and Will Hernandez 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.320 was involved in that disagreement. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.760 Because if there was a fight, there was one fight 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.839 a year ago. We know what happens. You get sent 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.400 off the field. Thou shalt be banished to the locker room. 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.840 That happened last year. LJ. Collier, Elijah Wilkinson. Yeah, the 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.200 walk of shame. One hundred yards off the field, down 0:02:58.240 --> 0:02:59.519 the ramp and you're done for the day. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.000 Yeah, you know that one. Always it's confounding to me. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.240 It is, it's very confusing, Paully, and it's confusing to 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.919 me because once again, I mean, you want your football 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.600 players to play so hard, so hard they're on the 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.840 edge of getting into a brawl. You want so hard, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.359 so committed to what you're doing. You want them right 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.000 or to brawl. As a matter of fact, I mean, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.600 it's an analogy that many many coaches have used over 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.639 and over and over again. It's time to brawl, It's 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.480 forget about football. It's brawl. That's what it is. Let's 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.480 go brawl men tonight. Let's go do that. Let's fight tonight. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.080 I mean how many times I've heard a coach say that, 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.880 of course in my career. So it's one of these 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:46.880 situations where it's very confusing because we know JG Demand's physicality. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.760 You better be physical. I don't care if you're the 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.560 holder on extra point and field goal, Polly, you better 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.080 be physical or you know what you're going to be out. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.480 And because of that, the no fight policy is confusing 0:03:59.520 --> 0:03:59.720 to me. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.080 Look, as Kyler Murray said in fact to you this offseason, 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.840 he said, we became a team no one wanted to 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.600 play by the end of last season. So tough, physical team. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.160 We know it, the physicality, the violence. And by the way, 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.960 the first day in full pads, full contact, full speed 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.720 football should be early next week. It's a ramp up 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.680 in the NFL. That's what it works in training camps 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:28.400 these days. So I believe it's mondayday. So Cardinals reported 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.080 on Tuesday, and then as you mentioned, today was day 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.599 two of practice. But that Tuesday night there was a team, 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.760 meaning you had ton of them. Wolf for your years 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.920 in the NFL a decades worth of this. Twas the 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.440 night before training camp, the owner Michael Bidwill spoke the 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.159 head coach Jonathan Gannon obviously, and then Buddha Baker impromptu 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.600 off the cuff. In fact, here's what James Connor had 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.320 to say about team captain Buddha Baker, six time Pro 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.520 Bowl and what he had to tell the team. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.880 Would has been a guy who's done it right year 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.520 after year after year after year. You know, so when 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.719 he talks, listen, He's been a captain every year for 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.400 a reason. And he's our tone seer for sure. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.440 What do we call Buddha Bik over the years, the 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.280 heartbeat of the team, the tone setter another word for it. 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.360 Dennis Gardak in Arizona Sports earlier today, saying that what 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.960 Buddha said was akin to basically saying he's establishing this 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.560 is our team. That the coaches can talk. The coaches 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.839 can tell us. All we need to know is players, 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.840 but Buddha is claiming ownership that this is a player 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.080 led thing. We're not just going to talk about it 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.000 or listen to what's being said. We're going to be 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.719 about it. End quote. Dennis Gardak. I love that his translation. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.160 I love that. Be about it right there, PAULI. Can 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.160 I just say this right now, PAULI. I played ten 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.200 years in the NFL. Yeah, it was a long, long 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.520 time ago, no doubt about that. I was an eight 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.120 time team captain. I went to the Pro Bowl four times. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.479 And yet can I tell you right now, if I 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.039 were in that meeting room, I don't think there is 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.200 anybody I'd rather hear Buddha Baker get up and hear 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.640 what he had to say about this season, the culture 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.640 in this coming season, and how we're going to approach 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.120 playing football here. I don't. And if I'm thinking that, 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.599 imagine what his teammates are actually thinking. They're all in 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.360 on Buddha Baker, with the respect and the regard they 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:16.000 have for him. 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.880 What can we say about Buddha Baker that hasn't already 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:19.200 been said? 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:19.560 All right? 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:20.159 Correct? 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.880 So I was thinking about it. I'm going to go 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.400 back to his rookie year. You know what was on 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.800 the team his rookie year. They spend one year together, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.440 Tyron Matthew. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:29.799 M Honey Badger. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.800 What Buddha did on the night the Cardinals reported to camp. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.400 Doesn't that sound like something Tyron Matthew would do just 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.920 from the gut, just from the heart, get up there, 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.960 just be that leader. Yes, that's a guy who, pound 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.039 for pound, arguably the toughest dude in the room. Yes, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.360 who puts it all out there. I think in some 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.200 ways they're different people, they're different personalities. But in terms 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.000 of the mentality, yes, I do believe there's some tyron 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.080 Matthew and Buddha Baker. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.560 Yeah, no, you're right about that, Paul, agree with that 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.440 assessment right now. I just want to say this to 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.760 Buddha Baker. There are there are rare players, based on 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:10.760 Ian's rare players in the NFL who impact everybody on 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.920 the field every time they play. Buddha Baker is one 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.880 of those guys. He impacts not just his team, not 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.320 just his coaching staff, not just the Cardinal fans that 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:25.480 are out there watching them. He impacts the other coaching staff, 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.600 the other head coach, the other players on the other sideline, 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.320 based on how he plays the game, just based on 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.600 how he plays. One of the smallest guys on the field, 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.800 He's not the biggest, I've said this many times, not 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.400 the fastest, not the strongest. All he is is gonna 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.240 knock your face off. That's all he's gonna do, and 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.280 he's gonna do it over and over and over again, fearlessly. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.360 There are rare players in the NFL that impact everybody 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.840 that is out on the field, not just their team, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.360 but the opponent as well. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.720 So NFL dot Com came out with their annual Top 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.520 one hundred players. He's number eighty nine, So we still 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.680 a right there among the elite. I would say safety 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.680 might be the only position group where there's no competition whatsoever. 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.920 And well, that and starting quarterback. Otherwise, there are spots 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.040 to be had and there's pecking orders, corner, left guard, 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.920 running back. Actually, you know what, let's hear from the 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.080 head coach, Jonathan Gannon on the position battles going on 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.040 here at Cards camp. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.800 It's a feather in Mani's cap when you go to 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.800 camp and you can't pencil in fifty three guys. That's 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.560 a good thing. I really do think that, and I 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.280 think that we couldn't pencil in fifty three guys. So 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.240 there's a lot of spots that are open competition. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.040 No doubt. You want to talk about Mania support Ron Wolfe. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.800 Are you aware that in the four draft classes pre 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:49.040 monty twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one, and twenty two. How 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.520 many players do you think are left currently from those 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.120 four draft classes pre mantios support. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.680 Okay, you don't need more. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:58.280 Than two hands. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.000 Okay, I'm going to say four. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:06.840 Seven Kyler, Zavin Collins, Victor d mukag, Trey mcplay, Cam Thomas, Jesse, Luketta, 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.920 Marquise Hayes. Okay, wow, all right, so a lot of turnover, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.840 a lot of turnover. I'm not gonna list all the 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.840 Purge movies. I'm just gonna tell you, well, if this 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.120 is the latest Purge movie, the big Red Purge Cardinals 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:23.480 roster reset, and you have a very young team, all 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.920 of a sudden in certain spots, you have wide open 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:31.240 competitions at corner, at left guard, who knows what running back? 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.160 Drey Benson looked pretty good today, did he not. Max 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.520 Melton made a few play shit, had one, maybe even 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.719 two picks out there. I mean there are jobs to 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.680 be one and there are spots to be had on 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:42.320 the fifty three. 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.480 You know, it's amazing. Yeah, you bring it there. There's 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:45.920 no doubt about that. This is going to be a 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.840 very competitive training camp. Polly very competitive preseason because we 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.280 may have some surprise cuts here because of how competitive 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.199 I think this roster is right now. To your point, 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.400 but you mentioned Trey Benson. Did you happen to see 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.800 Trey Benson and how he is built? I have to 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.120 tell you right now, I'd be just watching the highlights 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.600 of him, of course when the silks were on. It 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.920 just it's a whole different ballgame to actually stand next 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.400 to him and see him from the waist down. He's what, Paul, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.480 two hundred twenty three pounds, Is that what we're saying? 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.560 Six foot twenty something, Yeah. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.360 Two hundred twenty three pounds. Let's just go with that 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.959 right now. I honestly think one hundred and eighty of 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.320 them is from the waist down. It is truly amazing 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.599 how thick he is. Man, I like that for a 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.600 guy who's gonna run in between the tackles. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.240 He ran a four to three nine, and he was disappointed. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.880 He said he had run much quicker earlier. So okay, 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.600 Yelda Froholdt was asked about Trey Benson and he said, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.520 you know what, I love the rookie so far because 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.440 he makes the cuts he's supposed to. He follows the 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.440 blocks and he follows the rushing lanes that he's supposed 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.520 to do. So so far, so good on the rookie. 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.240 I bring up Yelda Froholt because we've had a few 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.520 moments already in this camp. Okay, this starting center, and 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.120 there's no question he is the starting center. Unke this 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.200 time a year ago, meeting the media, and let's just 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.400 say he's a workout warrior. As we know, he couldn't 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.440 even come to the press conference without some liquid protein 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.160 in his hand. He actually started the press conference by 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.760 using his teeth to open up a bottle of liquid protein. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.040 He had a couple of them by the time he 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.800 was done. If you're scoring at home, that's eighty grams 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.840 of protein over the course of his press conference. And 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.160 then somebody asked him about it. Yelderprohole, Oh, I love protein. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.680 So just always protein, man, It's the number one thing. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:35.160 The more protein the better, So always always more protein. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.040 Good litt eighty grams here, so it works great. I 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.160 want to go to just like a Stonemason, just be 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.960 like you just chopped me up some natural rocks and 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.679 just need a hundred pounder one hundred and fifty pounds 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.839 two hundred pounder and two and fifty pounder and just 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.920 put him outside his decorations. But we all know what 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:56.080 they're for, so that'd be super fun. Just be the 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.200 alpha on the street. Just carry around rocks. Sounds sick. 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.400 That was his response to so good when we asked 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.640 him about Okay, how's the home gym going, because he's 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.680 told us here in the Big Red Rage before how 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.800 he has his own home gym. It's his hobby. He 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.240 just lifts weights for fun. Yeah, okay, and he has 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.240 Atlas stones. Remember we do you know Magnus ver Froholt, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.240 you know, the old World's Strongest Man magus. He's like 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.400 he's like a throwback to one of these guys. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.839 It's amazing about that. You know. My older brother Craig. 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.000 Of course, he's played twelve years in the NFL, one 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.840 of the strong men in the world, competed in the 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.280 Strongest Man World. Content wants to go to Scotland to 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.800 pull the Denny Stones. I think I've told you about 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.040 this before, right, Maybe Yelda would know all about the 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.560 Denny Stones in Scotland, by. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.400 The way, putting those rocks on display in his front yard. 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.280 I asked him if that would be a HOA violation, 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.800 and he smelled and he said find me. So he's 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.559 a nonconformist like you Wolf. He doesn't like the HOA people. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.400 Yeah, but you know, Pauline, I didn't know what an 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.760 HOA was. You have to remember that, coming from Buffalo, 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.240 New York, at the bottom of the hill, growing up 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.400 at the bottom of the hill, I had no idea 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:03.520 what an HOA was. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.800 So Max Melton met the media, he had some great 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.960 stuff to say, and we'll get into that a little 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.960 bit later. Okay, what jersey was he rocking? Throwback? And 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.160 why did they have to put him under for eight hours? 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.600 We'll get into all that a little bit later.

All right, 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.040 we're gonna talk to Chris Moore, veteran receiver nearly a 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.520 decade in the league. We're gonna talk about Marvin Harrison Junior, 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.080 these new kickoff rules, what he's seen in the new 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.120 cornerbacks Kyler Murray when he played with Lamar Jackson that 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.880 I was all Next The Big Red Rage presented by 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:54.800 Santan Ford and Gilbert Bill's looking. 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.400 Bills throws for the end zone across the goal line, catch. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.280 His trade by Chris Moore from what to right. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.080 In front of the goal line, makes the catch for 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:05.679 a thirteen yard touchdown. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.120 Mills takes the snap heavy pressure, throws right side, has 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:14.080 Chris Bahr across the five He's across touchdown Houston. Mills 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.719 fires to the right sideline and took by Chris Moore 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.280 at the forty thirty five thirty twenty fifteen to ten 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:27.120 five broke alve touchdown Houston sixty seven yards. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:35.640 My goodness, all right, Netflix has this series called Receiver 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.520 Whatever We've got our own receiver here tonight on The 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.120 Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Chris 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.640 Moore Cardinals newcomer, although he's far from a newcomer when 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.640 it comes to the NFL. So first welcome to Cardinals camp, Chris, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.640 Thank you, thank you for having a couple of practices 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.840 in how has cam just in the NFL change from 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.840 year one nearly a decade ago for you to now. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.840 Yeah, I mean it's changed a lot. My first year 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.560 when I was gott in the league, I was with 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.000 Baltimore and practices were a lot different and it was 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.920 just about going out there and grinding through days, hitting 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.760 each other non stop. And now the league I feel 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.960 like they've gotten i would say, wiser, and has definitely 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.680 made practice safer for players and it's more about learning 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.920 scheme and stuff. So it's definitely changed. And shot this 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.240 year we got those Guardian caps on which, yeah, I 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.280 ain't lie. At first, I was very upset about that, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.000 but I've grow grown to like them and I think 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:27.680 they'll help us. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.960 What's it like when you're actually wearing them in running routes? 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.360 You can't tell? And that's what all those receivers were 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.240 worried about. We're like, man, when you're trying to track 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.120 a ball on air and turn your head, that's gonna 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.720 be difficult. But they don't. They don't cause any problem. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.880 So you don't feel or maybe think, you look like 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.160 a bobblehead at all. I mean, do you have to 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.920 get over that maybe a little. Yeah, I said, we 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.040 looked terrible out there in those things. But as far 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.120 as affecting our play. No, they're good. Okay, So all right, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.280 Chris morre is our guest. All right, first year as 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.400 a Cardinal, first Cardinals camp. Obviously, do you still get 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.680 a little butterflies at the beginning of a training camp? 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.160 I guess you can call them butterfly the more just 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.240 excited just to go to work. I mean, I love 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.240 playing football, one of the reasons why I keep doing 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.520 it every year, and so it's just more exciting to 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.120 go out there and just continue to play. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.280 What do you bring to this receiver room? What do 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:11.440 you bring to this offense? 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.440 I feel like I bring explosiveness. I'm a deep threat. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.880 I like to make explosive plays a receiver. I would 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.200 definitely bring special teams value. That's something I hang my 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.400 hat on. It's something that allowed me to stay in 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.000 the league this long. And just as far as for 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:28.960 my guys in the locker room, I think I bring 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.960 some older leadership, just being able to tell guys things, 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.240 give them some older experience because this is a young team. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.080 But that's all I want to do is just keep 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:38.760 helping them learn how to be in this league as 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:39.360 long as they can. 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.440 When you say big plays and chunk throws last year, 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.120 your average over nineteen yards of catch. Oh yeah, what 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.040 do you attribute that to? 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.280 Like I said, when the balls in the area, I 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.840 want to go get in. I feel like, even though 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.200 I'm older, I'm fast, I'm still very fast and when 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.600 that ball's in the air, like I said, I want 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:56.880 to make that big play to help the team. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.840 I mean, and you played seventeen games right, five starts. 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.200 How much of that you think was appealing to many 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.600 Austin Fort Because if there's one pattern we've seen in 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.000 a lot of his acquisitions in the offseason, real reliability 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:10.960 and durability. How important do you think that is? 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.120 I think it's very important. That's the name of this game. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.080 If you can't play on Sunday, what value you have 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.480 to the team? Really, Like, that's the point. You got 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.040 to be out there on Sunday. You gotta be available 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:21.359 for this team to be able to count on you. 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.560 So I think that's something also that throughout my time 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:25.840 in the league, I've been able to do. I've been 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:30.040 able to be available and in the Sunday every Sunday. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:31.200 So I just keep trying to do it. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.560 Give me your impressions on Marvin Harrison Junior. All right, 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.240 and tell me what do you think is realistic in 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.480 year one? When guys like me evoke Justin Jefferson Pro 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.200 Bowl as a rookie twenty twenty or maybe a Jamar 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.960 Chase twenty twenty one, is that out of line? 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.160 I want to say it's out of line. I mean 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.359 if him as himself and anybody around him watching him, 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.959 if you don't expect big things out of yourself or him, like, 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:57.760 how can you come in and do it? So I 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.359 think it is good to put high expectations on him, 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.159 but at the same time, we had to be realistic. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.000 Everybody has the own learning curve, everybody has to adjust 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.959 to this game different. So whatever happens happens. But I 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:09.840 just know from watching him he's a special player and 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.240 I personally expect good things out of him. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.160 There are a couple other rookie receivers in your room, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.240 So what do you know about the NFL having played 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.080 over one hundred career games, three playoff games that they're 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.080 about to find. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.840 Out to on Sundays. It's a different game, it's saying 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.760 in college anymore. Everybody on that field is a pro 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.920 and they're good at their job. I know some days 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.000 in college I played at a in what it was 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.919 at the time, AAC and the Big East. I might 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.199 not have straight NFL players there every Sunday, so I 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.399 was playing against some guys that that want to be 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.840 playing on Sundays. But now you're playing against pro so 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.879 everybody out there is a pro. The game's a little faster, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.439 but I mean, if you study and you become a 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.160 professionalist game, you'll be all right. 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.000 Chris Moore is our guest Cardinals veteran receiver. It's interesting 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.520 some of the guys have mentioned they've already had a 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.520 Welcome to the NFL moment. Cornerback Elijah Jones said he 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.399 was just calling the defense. He turned around and Buddha 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.280 Baker's standing there. He's like, man, that's Buddha Baker, right. 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.720 Darius Robson said, just the grip strength of Will Hernandez. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.560 He's like, how is this guy so ridiculously strong? 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:05.960 Yeah? 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.440 Do you remember you're welcome to the NFL moment? Did 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:09.040 you have one? 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.919 I think mine was. I was definitely lucky. My receiver 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.879 room my first year was it was Stacker receivers. I 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.520 had definitely had Steve Smith, Mike Wallace, Mike Wallace, and 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.679 I grew up watching those guys play. So just to 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.600 be able to come in as a rookie and see 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.199 those guys the way they practice and the way they 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.720 played on Sundays was definitely my welcome to the NFL 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.359 moment because it's crazy because I'm at that age now 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.680 where like dudes, the guys coming in were in middle school, 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.560 high school when I was already starting when I was 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.040 first getting in the league. So that age gap is crazy. 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:37.560 That how you can go from watching them when you're 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.640 a kid and now you're peers with them. So it's 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:41.960 definitely a crazy moment. 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.080 Let me tell you, I've been doing this twenty years 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.359 on the sideline, and I'm gonna guess Patrick Peterson's welcome 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.600 to the NFL moment, right, future All Pro cornerback was 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.480 his debut game, first regular season game was against Steve 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.360 Smith and it was hand to hand combat. Oh yeah, 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.960 the entire I've never to this day seen a player 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.920 more intense power for pounding Steve Smith. Won't you agree 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:02.080 with that? 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.080 Oh for sure? He's a hang along on game day. 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.040 He's a different human. He's scary. I was his teammate 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:08.640 I was scared to be on that sideline with him, 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.960 So he definitely turns on the inner dog when it 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:12.000 comes to Sundays. 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.119 So what sort of advice do you have for the rookies, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.600 guys like Marvin Harrison Junior. You mentioned Leadership's a big 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.560 role for you in that room, is the VET? What 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:19.440 do you tell those guys? 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:21.640 My biggest thing is learn how to be a pro. 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:23.320 Like there's a lot of things you can do, and 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.000 then that day in and day out, to make sure 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.680 you're prepared every day and don't be afraid to ask 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.240 guys and take take things from guys like That's all 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.199 I did my first few years in the league. I 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.399 saw what other vets were doing, and I tried it 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.160 and see if it worked for me. And then if 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:37.919 it didn't, I moved on to try something up. But 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.480 dead I kept it in my routine. And I will 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.520 say that's the biggest thing is when you're in this profession, 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:43.560 you have to have a routine. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.120 What do you look for when you assess a receiver? 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.240 If the team was to bring in some free agent 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.040 receiver tomorrow and you're just sort of watching him, what 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.840 do you look for in trying to determine, Okay, this 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.119 guy have a future or not. 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.240 First thing I look for is, obviously can he catch, 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.960 like not afraid to catch the ball away from his 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.440 body even if he's in traffic, those catches that may 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:05.920 look difficult, He's still gonna throw his hands out away 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.040 from his body and catch it. And then just how 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.280 smooth he is, because you got to be smooth. You 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.240 got to make the defense think you're going one way 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.960 and go the other ways. So it's just definitely hands 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:16.720 and how smooth you are, a little bit of speed 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.040 because I'm a fast guy, so you gotta be faster 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:19.480 around me. 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.840 Absolutely. Chris Moore is our guest Cardinals receiver. Why do 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.080 you think receiver the position itself in round one over 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.320 the last decade has the worst hit rate of any 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:33.040 position group in round one of the draft in the league. 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.360 Why are there so many misses at the position? 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.600 I think it's a It's a hard position to come 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.919 into the league straight out of college. There's a lot 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:46.399 of changes. One, you're just you're coming in. You're used 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.560 to be getting fed the ball all the time. It's college. 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:50.520 You're usually if you're coming in your first round draft 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.199 pick or even if you're a draft you were the 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.120 man on your team and you used to getting fed 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.680 every game, and in the league sometimes that's not the 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.960 reality to the game plan dictates how who gets the ball, 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.840 So sometimes you can go first half without seeing them football. 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.960 And it's just weird for a receiver his first time 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.720 to have to all of a sudden, this third down 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:11.080 and we gotta make a big play and this is 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:12.359 the first time you see the ball go to you 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.120 and you got to make that play like a lot 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.199 of young guys just aren't ready for that. So I 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.040 think that's one of the most difficult things. And then two, 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:20.800 I don't like to make this an excuse, but the 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.199 equipment does change. We are catching a different football, so 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.520 some guys that's an adjustment for them. They take the 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.840 white line off the ball. The ball is a little bigger, 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:29.600 So for some people that's an adjustment too. 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.919 That's interesting. Chris Moore is our guest. All right, Kyler Murray, 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:36.080 you played with Lamar Jackson. Do you see parallels at all? 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.960 I do? I do. They're both when they're both special. 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:40.480 When that ball is in their hand, you never know 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.120 what's gonna happen. You just know it's gonna be good 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:45.000 for your team. So I definitely see some parallels in them. 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.119 But both of them are amazing, special, special athletes, definitely 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:50.440 once in a generation. 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.200 How do they impact defenses? How do you see defenses 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.199 react when you're playing a guy who might be the 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.720 best athlete on the field, yet he's playing quarterback. 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.080 Yeah, I mean I feel like defense now they just 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.359 had to think more like you think you got everybody covered, okay, 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:06.960 but now he's running, and then he's running, and now 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:08.960 he's not running. He's just scrambling just to get you 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.920 out of your motion. The receiver is just scrambling himself, 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:13.960 and they throw a big play. So I think it 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.520 just keeps defenses on their toes. You can't prepare for 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:19.119 a quarterback like that. You can try, but there's just 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:21.119 so many options they have when they're the best athletes 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:21.560 on the field. 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:23.840 This was a top five run team a year ago, 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.000 and you're used to being part of a team like that, Baltimore. Yeah, 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.320 you had Kyler's back, right, He has a full offseason, 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:32.359 well versed in the offense. I'm like last year we 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.000 just landed in the middle of the year coming off 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:36.320 of torn acl Now all of a sudden, you've improved 0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.919 the receiver room. I mean, what do you like? What 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:40.840 are you most bullsh about when it comes to this 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:41.960 offense this year. 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.800 I think it's more of a balance and complete offense. 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:48.120 I think that we can do well in the run 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:49.920 game as they did, and then I believe our passing 0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:52.160 game can just can be very effective as well. So 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:54.639 I believe we can do whatever we need to do 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:56.879 out there on Sundays. We just got to execute and 0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:58.920 make those plays because we have the guys in the 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.600 building to do it. After spending time with these guys, 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:03.159 we got guys that want to do it and are 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:04.479 willing to go out there and do whatever they had 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:04.960 to do to win. 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.440 Cardinals receiver Chris Moore. I guess in the Big Red 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:09.240 Rage you played last year in Tennessee, that means you 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.800 played with Sean Murphy Bunting. Yes, all right, So tell 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:13.879 us about Sean Murphy Bunting and whether the Cardinals are 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:15.680 getting right now. He's cornerback one. 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:17.880 Yeah. I mean, he's a great corner He'll go out 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.359 there every day if there was. What I like about 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:23.240 him at most is his toughness. I believe last season 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.440 he had some injuries and he played through them, and 0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:27.160 we can count on them every Sunday to be out 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.720 there and play football. And then, like I said earlier, 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:31.640 that's what you want guy that's gonna come out every day, 0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.640 work and be available on Sunday. So I'm excited. It's 0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:36.159 always good to have a familiar face when you come 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:37.640 into a new team, so it's good to see him. 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:39.680 I asked about receivers. How long does it take you 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.119 to determine whether a corner can play? Can you tell 0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:45.600 right away when you're going against the corner, like, for example, 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.440 I've heard a lot of really good reviews on Max 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.840 Melton so far. The second round rookie ye number sixteen. 0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:54.520 If you're coming out to camp, I mean, his athleticism 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:57.560 scores were through the roof coming out of Rutgers. But 0:24:58.000 --> 0:24:59.520 for a guy like that, what do you think he's 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:02.119 gonna need to learn right away? Any rookie corner when 0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:03.040 they come to the NFL. 0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:05.800 Yeah, I think the big thing for them is to 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.879 not lose their composure. Because this is the NFL. You're 0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:11.560 playing against great receivers, so things will happen. So when 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.879 when say a big play does happen, to you just 0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:15.840 got next play, because the next play can be your 0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:17.960 pick and change the whole game. So you can't hang 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.080 your hat on something that had previous. You just got 0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.359 to move on. But I say that's the biggest thing 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:24.320 for them. As long as they keep their confidence and 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.120 the composure good, can you can trust them out there? 0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:30.000 You played your share of special teams over the years, right? Oh? 0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:30.320 Yeah? 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:32.439 How many big plays are coming to the NFL this 0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:35.520 year on kickoff return considering the rule change? 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:37.880 Yeah, I mean, I'm excited to see. I think Week 0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.679 one is gonna be nuts, Like it's gonna be crazy, 0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.280 but there's definitely gonna be a lot more plays happening 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:46.040 on kickoff return because of this new rule change. 0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:48.280 It was kind of a dead play. It was. 0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:50.520 It was no because I was doing it. I was 0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:53.200 returning last year a little bit, and like most time, 0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:55.360 we were just going for touchbacks because it was pointless 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.560 to even take it out just because of how the 0:25:57.920 --> 0:25:59.840 stats worked with the yardage and stuff, so it wasn't 0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:02.280 even worth it as a play. So I like this 0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:04.880 because I was actually getting scared that they were trying 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.400 to take special teams out of this game. And it's 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:10.600 a big, important part of football, So I'm excited they 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:11.879 try to find a way to keep it alive. 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:13.879 Do you think some teams are gonna find out the 0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:17.080 hard way? Oh boy, we maybe misjudge or didn't practice 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:19.919 this correctly, or we don't have the right strategy. Do 0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.320 you think some teams are going to really pay a 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:23.200 price in Week one? 0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:25.600 I don't think it's gonna be as far as that. 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.359 In that case, I think it's just gonna be so 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.760 new to the players that it's gonna be some coaches 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:32.640 gonna figure out the right thing to do and somebody 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:34.960 and it's gonna hurt. But I think more so it's 0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:38.399 just about feeling this because it's interesting. We've been watching 0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:42.600 film on I believe the XFL has done something similar, 0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:44.280 so we've been trying to You try to watch and 0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:45.760 try to study and see how to do, and then 0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.120 you try to anticipate what other teams might do. So 0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:50.440 I just think it's gonna be interesting. We want to 0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:51.639 see how it goes. It is. 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.760 I mean, it's gone from just maybe the most boring 0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:56.480 play in the game too. It could be out chaos, yes, 0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:59.440 and it's gonna be fun. I think it definitely revamped 0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.879 special teams makes it important again, especially that play. All right, 0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:04.359 Chris Moore is our guest. I got to ask you 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.359 about your high school, Thomas Jefferson High School in Tampa. Yes, 0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:12.720 so your list of notable athletes includes four all time 0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:18.720 baseball figures Luis Gonzalez, Tony LaRussa, Fred McGriff, Tino Martinez, 0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:20.840 three of the four Hall of famers, and the other 0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:23.960 one's the most popular Dbacks player in team history. Did 0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:25.760 they try and make you a baseball player when you 0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:27.359 were going to high school? No, they didn't. 0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:29.919 My well, growing up, my mom wouldn't let me play baseball, 0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:32.320 so I never even thought about that as a sport. So, no, 0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:32.920 they didn't. 0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:34.719 Your mom wouldn't let you play baseball. 0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:36.320 Nah, she told me, that's what she said. That's one 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:39.280 sport I can't play. I had a great uncle who 0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:41.320 used to play for the Expos, and I guess my 0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:42.960 mom used to always has to go to those games, 0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:46.600 and she despises baseball because of that. So she just 0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:48.919 asked me, it's like, please, don't make me watch baseball games. 0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.199 So I told her I went it. Football track was 0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:51.800 my theme though. 0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.200 That's funny, Yeah, that's funny. Well, it's the worst Little 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.359 League assistant coach ever. She's there's something when you know, 0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.160 there's that age rage between like eight and ten where 0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:00.240 nobody can find the plate and every game includes like 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.679 twenty walks and you're like, oh my gosh, what am 0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:05.160 I doing here for four hours watching the kids baseball game? 0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:08.200 Exactly? And you sitting in that heat is bad? 0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.720 Okay? All right, well Chris, look, I really enjoyed it. 0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:13.920 Is What do you know about this team? Last question 0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:15.760 that maybe the rest of us are going to find out? 0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:18.600 Is there something about the identity of this team? Or 0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.200 you know, we hear a lot about how connected this 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:23.960 team is, and you know, one word to hear a 0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.760 lot is it's a hungry team. You've been around this 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:28.640 league long enough. What can you tell so far? 0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:31.600 Yeah, like you said, is this team is young. But 0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:33.679 that I think that's what is so special about them. 0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.920 These guys came in and they went through after coming in. Myself, 0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:38.880 they went through some things last year and they grew 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:41.239 together as a staff and as the players that were 0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:43.760 already here. So I think they understand like what it 0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:45.720 actually takes to win on Sunday and they're all hungry. 0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:48.000 They want to come out here and prove to the 0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.120 NFL that we're a team that people should be worried about. 0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:53.560 And so I just I love how the guys come 0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:55.520 out here and work. I mean, this is this is 0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:57.640 a good team. I love it. A lot of special guys. 0:28:57.920 --> 0:28:59.800 And in your ninth season, sounds like you feel like 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:01.600 you still have that top end speed. You still have 0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:02.160 the track speed. 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:05.160 Oh yeah, I'll still fast. Hopefully down't go nowhere for 0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:07.720 a couple more years, but now I can still run. 0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:10.080 All right. Hey, it's been our pleasure, look forward to 0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.600 the season. There you go. Chris Moore is our guest. 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:15.200 We continue with a big red rage presented by Santan 0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:25.240 for in Gilbert. This is a James Connor four yard 0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:30.040 touchdown run. Just do flat shovel, flat face, as Jack Nicholson. 0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:37.800 Flat shovel, flat face, that's how you run the ball 0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:42.720 inside the red zone. A little gold to go. Hand 0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:45.880 it off to James Connor. Let him find the light. 0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:57.680 That's what he did. Here's James Connor h flat flat shovel, 0:29:57.920 --> 0:29:58.600 flat face. 0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:01.760 That's how you run the ball inside the red zone. 0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:06.040 Sonny the Morgan Freeman go ball. Technically that's the Day 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:09.400 Pasch podcast. Really it's the Frank Callyando Podcast. Sorry, Dave, 0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:11.280 that was all Kelly I know right there. I mean, 0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:15.000 come on now, that's just Dad Water unbelievable entertainment. And 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:17.720 you know what a great intro for James Connor. It's 0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.440 a big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. 0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.520 We are Santan Ford, Paul calvic Ron wollfully special. Thanks again, 0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:27.120 Chris Moore. So to recap Chris Moore, he averaged better 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.320 than nineteen yards of catch. Now, he didn't have catches 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.320 to qualify among the NFL leaders last year, but he says, quote, 0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:35.680 I'm still fast, still has that track speed, even at 0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:40.480 age thirty. Okay, he does see parallels between Kyler and 0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:44.640 Lamar Jackson. He played four years with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.520 About the kickoff return coming this year, the rule change, 0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:50.880 he said, quote week one is gonna be nuts. He said, 0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:53.120 you know what, we want to be a team that 0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:56.400 people are gonna worry about. Talking about how hungry he 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.480 senses this Cardinals team is. And then maybe most amazing 0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:02.280 is that mom wouldn't let him play baseball when he 0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:04.880 was a kid because she didn't want to sit through 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:07.480 the endless baseball games because she found it boring. Because 0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:09.480 his uncle wants upon a time played for the Expos. 0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:12.800 Yeah, and let's not forget this. He played with Steve Smith. 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:17.320 Oh my goodness, one of the most intense human beings 0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:19.720 on the face of the planet. Forget about wide receivers. 0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:22.600 I'm talking about just one of the most intense individuals 0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:23.960 the game has ever seen. 0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:26.920 Okay, so is that our segue to James Connor? 0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:30.720 Yes, speaking of I mean, what is it, Pauli? The 0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:32.720 Angry Run? Is that what it is? Pauli right there? 0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:36.120 Yes, threeceptors, receptor, receptors. 0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.920 For people who don't understand Pauli kind of like me 0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:41.440 for people don't understand that the sceptor, what exactly is that? 0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:41.680 Ball? 0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:44.720 NFL Network, Good Morning Football, Kyle Brandt, the beating heart 0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:47.640 of that show. He does Angry Runs every Tuesday, and 0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.680 he just picks out the most physical runs and then 0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:54.560 he gives out a sceptor every week to who trucks somebody, 0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.720 who track stops somebody. And so James Connor is a 0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:03.320 three time award winner of the Angry Scepter Angry Run. Okay, 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:05.200 so he's got him somewhere. He doesn't even know where 0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:07.600 he has him. He said, if he ever finds him, 0:32:07.760 --> 0:32:10.920 he give us one. But okay, so he just lives 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:13.479 for the next carry, the next season. Well, that season 0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.440 is here, and he was asked, all right, James Connor, 0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.400 a thousand yards you got it for the first time 0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:21.640 last year in your career. Is that the goal this year? 0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.240 I know that if I stay healthy, you know, and 0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.680 do what I do, you know, that's definitely the floor. 0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:30.800 So you know, I've always believed in my talent, and 0:32:30.880 --> 0:32:33.280 so I'm confident. I think, you know, we're going to 0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:35.400 hit that again for sure, but you know, we got 0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:37.320 to win first. That's all I care about everything else 0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:38.040 that comes with it. 0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:41.200 And he said that before thousand yard season, that's the floor, 0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:45.120 not the ceiling. And if he can stay healthy knock 0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:47.920 on wood, he missed four games a year ago. If 0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.680 he can stay healthy. We know about the Cardinals, the 0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:53.960 Cardinals commitment to the run board. I mean, you're talking 0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:56.400 about a team that was top five in every rushing category, 0:32:56.480 --> 0:32:58.040 number two in yards per carry. 0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:01.320 PAULI. Once again, they've already done it. That's the thing 0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:04.440 that is so encouraging. You're not talking. You're not grasping 0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:07.120 at straws here. You're not talking pie in the sky. 0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:10.320 When you talk about the Arizona Cardinals being maybe the 0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:13.800 most physical offensive football team in the league. I think 0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:15.880 we're gonna see him line up right now. I've told 0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:18.280 you this ballyl offseason, but I believe it. I think 0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.480 we're gonna get twelve personnel. We're going to lead the 0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:23.920 league in twelve personnel and rundown situation right now, and 0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.400 it's going to be James Connor running the ball. And 0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:29.600 what does James Connor do? He chooses the third rail 0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.080 of running the ball many many times, which is running 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:35.120 over somebody's face. For the most part, I love the 0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.680 fact that Manti asen Fort and the Cardinals went ahead 0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:42.000 and drafted Trey Benson and the third round drafted Trey. 0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.600 Here's a guy, he was the second running back taking 0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:49.360 off the board right now, who is built like James Connor. Okay, 0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:51.920 he's not as heavy as James Connor, but he's right there, 0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:53.880 and he might be faster. As a matter of fact, 0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.640 he is faster than James Connor. But I like the 0:33:56.720 --> 0:34:02.040 fact you're going to institutionalize physical You're going to institutionalize 0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:06.000 that brutality that is going to happen, and this, to me, 0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.520 is going to set off a chain reaction for the 0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:12.600 Arizona Cardinals offensively and from a team perspective that I 0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:16.080 think is going to allow them to win games once again. 0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.760 Three of the last four games last year, the Cardinals 0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:22.719 ran for over two hundred yards. In those games, they 0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:25.800 led the NFL. In your in rushes of twenty yards 0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:29.360 or more, James Connor among the league leaders in that category. 0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:32.520 But to your point, there are some young guys pushing 0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:35.920 him on this depth chart. It is musical chairs. Three 0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:38.919 four tops running backs are going to make this team 0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:40.919 and there's a half dozen guys in that room. Here's 0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:42.520 James Connor on the depth. 0:34:42.360 --> 0:34:44.040 It's still my job, you know, to help all the 0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:45.680 other backs, you know, just like they help me, you know, 0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:47.439 just bring them along because there's strengthen numbers. 0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:47.880 For sure. 0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:50.120 That's what training chemist ford. You know, we're doing this 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:53.960 big evaluation, but that definitely adds to the longevity, you know, 0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:56.560 with having other backs that can you know, maybe no 0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:58.319 drop off. You know, that was my main goal when 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.440 Le'Veon Bell came out the game, I wanted to be 0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:02.439 right there so we can keep the offense moving well. 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.520 So that's how we want to play it. 0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:07.520 If you remember the Philadelphia Eagles win Cardinals going to Philly, 0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:09.279 they get the win, they were down twenty one to 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:10.200 six at halftime. 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:10.520 Yuh. 0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.120 Opening drive of the second half, James Connor got the 0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.319 first few carries and they brought in Michael Carter. He 0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.560 had a pear pair of twenty yard runs, just making 0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.480 dudes look stupid because all of a sudden, dbs are 0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:24.000 they're so accustomed to gearing up for two hundred and 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:27.040 thirty pound James Connor and then here comes Michael Carter 0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:30.759 breaking ankles in it. It just was a really effective 0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:32.200 one to two punch, right Paully. 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:34.600 And if speaking of one two punches right now, whenever 0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:36.799 you run the ball, you have to have balance. You 0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:39.680 have to have balance because all the defensive coordinator is 0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:42.160 gonna do and run down situation. He's gonna jam up 0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.760 the box, Polly, He's gonna jam it up. He's gonna 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.160 make it really, I don't care. We'll bring nine guys 0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:49.239 into the box. If that's all you're gonna do is 0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.440 line up, try to run the ball. We're gonna go 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.000 ahead and jam up the box. It makes it very 0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:57.759 difficult to run the ball successfully. That's the reason why 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:01.760 you've got to also have play action. It is it's 0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.920 point A to point B right Paully, it's the left 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.160 hand in the right hand you have to run. You 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.800 have to play it right down the middle. In regard 0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:13.040 to running the football, well, when teams start to overadjust 0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:15.120 and say we're gonna shut your run down to him, 0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.880 that's great because here it comes. I didn't hand the 0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:19.680 ball off. Now all of a sudden, we're going to 0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:23.120 hit Marvin Harrison Junior on a dig for twenty yards 0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:26.120 down the field. This is why it goes hand in 0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:29.799 hand and there's always this fine balance that you have 0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:33.280 to find as an offensive coordinator. What are teams doing, 0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:37.080 What are teams doing to try to stop this brutal 0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:39.480 rushing attack that I think the Cardinals are going to have, 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:41.399 and how will you adjust to that. 0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:44.960 It's funny because James Connor was asked about Marvin Harrison Junior, 0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:48.040 his takeaways, his impressions, because every player is asked about 0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:51.719 Marvin Harrison Junior, and what he said was, hey, more 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.120 power to him. I hope he takes more guys out 0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:58.040 of the box and he takes double coverage. Lighter boxes 0:36:58.160 --> 0:36:58.840 were all for it. 0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:00.600 Keep those safeties all right, man. 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.560 And that's something the Cardinals did not have last year. 0:37:03.600 --> 0:37:06.440 They did not have wide receiver one that will command 0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:09.040 double coverage. They didn't have a six foot five, two 0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:12.600 hundred and seventy pounds blocking tight end and tip riman. 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:15.799 They didn't have a rookie with fresh legs who runs 0:37:15.800 --> 0:37:18.200 a sub four four two hundred and twenty plus pounds 0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:22.120 in Tray Benson. So started. Not only was a top 0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.279 five run game, but it's a run game that could 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:28.120 get better this year. Yes, so, Kyle Shanahan, I know 0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:30.360 you love to run the ball. Seatt always loves to 0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:32.239 run the ball. We know what Kyra and Williams did 0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:34.440 last year at the Rams. Guess what Cardinals are coming. 0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:36.799 It is going to be a run first offense from 0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:39.080 what we can tell. We continue with this addition to 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:41.960 the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. 0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:48.800 This troick. 0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:58.719 Malakailt call me Max Counts touchdown Scarlett knights Man. 0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:00.880 Look he torch pulled old man. 0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:06.280 Inside the pie of your line is intercepted by Max Melton. 0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:11.839 Max Melton went to pack. 0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:14.440 You know, everybody's have an opinions. The opinions are like 0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:16.560 Gucci belts. Everybody has one, you know what I'm saying, 0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:20.680 so exactly like everybody's haveing the paion. Nobody's ever going 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:22.560 to be one hundred percent on the same pace, especially 0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:24.239 when you were talking about millions of fans. You know. 0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:26.279 But I know, come this season, once we get a 0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.239 couple of weeks in, I think they'll be happy with 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:28.640 their pig. 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:31.439 That was a sobering moment. After the selection of Max 0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:33.840 Melton high second round, I turned to Craig Reeler, Do 0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:36.000 you have a Gucci belt? Because I don't have a 0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:36.680 Gucci belt? 0:38:36.840 --> 0:38:37.040 Both? 0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:39.040 Do you have a Gucci Beltau? You don't have a 0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:41.200 Gucci Jimalma Hundre do you have a Gucci belt? 0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:41.759 No? 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:45.319 We know you were on TV in Chicago, Paul, at 0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:47.560 some point in time you were at the Gucci belt. 0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:50.680 It's the big red rage brought to you Hi, santan 0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:53.399 Ford and Gilbert We are santan Ford, Paul, kelvc Ron. 0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:58.439 Woefully no Gucci belts here, but Max Melton and unmistakably mad. 0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:01.879 Max pulled up in a an elite supercar that cost 0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:04.600 him a little bit of coin. He had a Kevin 0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:08.279 Cop throwback jersey on that he bought it a thrist store, 0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:12.759 So it's sort of that dichotomy of the supercar big money. 0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:15.800 And then he had the goodwill Kevin Cop jersey on 0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:18.880 number four, so that was interesting. And then it was 0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:22.960 what was on his body, his person underneath the jersey, 0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:24.799 which we'll just get into this and then we'll talk 0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:26.640 some football, but just show you a little bit about 0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:30.040 the personality that is Max Melton. He shared with the 0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:32.799 media what he did during his time off before camp. 0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:34.800 I got put to sleep for my tet so I 0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:37.480 went under anesthesa for eight hours and I had five 0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:40.040 tattoo artists working on me. At onezon got the throwback 0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:43.880 Rutgers logo Welcome to New Jersey sign two streets I 0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:46.279 grew up on and till that's where you get off 0:39:46.280 --> 0:39:48.319 of my city. So they all got meaning. My real 0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:49.680 name is Malachi. I don't even know if I'll know 0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:52.160 that real named Malachi. That means messenger of Jesus Christ 0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:54.680 and biblical terms. And I got an angel with a 0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:56.879 message bottle in her hand, like coming from heaven. Every 0:39:56.920 --> 0:39:58.400 one of my tess got meaning to it. 0:39:58.719 --> 0:40:01.360 Five tattoo artists were done him for eight hours. He 0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:04.800 was under he was under bully for eight hours. Eight hours. 0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:05.800 Oh my goodness. 0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:08.440 A couple of sleeves each arm crossed the chest. So 0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:12.920 significant tattoo work. And you know, brought his parents out 0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:14.520 even though it was one hundred and ten. They said 0:40:14.520 --> 0:40:17.239 they enjoyed their time. From New Jersey in Arizona. He's 0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:19.800 a car guy. He's already talked about that. But he 0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:22.280 also happens to be one of the most athletic corners 0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:23.880 to come out of this draft. In fact, in a 0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:26.560 couple of years. Dave Sears, the assistant GM, told us 0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:28.200 a couple of months ago on the Big Red Rage 0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:30.320 here that that he was one of the only corners 0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:32.440 to test at a certain level in both the forty, 0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:37.560 the vertical the broad jump. And he's also had more 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:40.040 than forty starts in the Big ten. He's gone against 0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:43.400 Marvin Harrison Junior twice. He's gone against Caris Olave, Garrett Wilson, 0:40:43.400 --> 0:40:46.040 He's probably gone against Keon Coleman from Michigan State. He's 0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:47.840 going to see him week one in Buffalo. 0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:50.319 Pay He's got an awful out of swag, guy would 0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:52.960 say for a rookie coming in here right now, and 0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.400 he would not be the first cornerback in the National 0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.279 Football League to have a little bit of swag. Yes, 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:01.759 you need little bit of swag if you're gonna play 0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:05.279 that position right there, So maybe that's a harbinger of 0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:06.000 things to gom. 0:41:06.600 --> 0:41:09.040 He's in a competition. I mean, you have last year's 0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:11.879 guy with a lot of swag, Key Trell Clark, Yeah, yeah, 0:41:12.000 --> 0:41:14.720 Starling Thomas, undrafted guy who started a lot of games 0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:18.520 last year. Garrett Williams Now, he's your starting nickel slot corner, 0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:22.239 but he potentially could go outside. Elijah Jones, who we 0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:24.759 talked to on The Big Rid Rage nearly six foot two, 0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:29.200 played sixty plus games at Boston College. He's a little older. 0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:32.360 And you know it's interesting then Sean Murphy Bunting is 0:41:32.480 --> 0:41:35.320 cornerback one. You're at Chris Moore earlier talk about his 0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:39.359 former teammate with Tennessee, and here's Murphy Bunting just talking 0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:42.239 about that cornerback room. And now they're all pushing each other. 0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:45.000 Everybody shows up every day, work hard, We feed off 0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:47.960 each other, we compete. Obviously, being an NFL. You know 0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:49.960 that it's going to be a competition every you know, 0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:54.320 everything's a competition. Everything's being evaluated, but it's it's ultimately 0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:56.800 not our decisions. So I think you know, going into it, 0:41:56.880 --> 0:41:58.440 we just lean on each other for things that we 0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:01.040 need to lean on them for. We fight, we push, 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:03.600 and we just try to make each other better every day. 0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.440 How do you assess that room, that position battle? 0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:09.640 Yeah, I'm really glad that Sean Murphy Bunting is here, Pelly, 0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:11.880 I really am. I mean, first of all, he brings 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:17.040 experience and knowledge to that position right now. I'm not 0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:21.120 worried about CB one because of Sean Murphy Bunting. I 0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:24.480 am not. I do believe they need a model, and 0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:27.160 he's got an awful lot of pressure on him not 0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:30.120 to only go out and play, but also to model 0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:33.319 the culture. This is how we do things around here, 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:36.279 to lead that room because there are so many young 0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:39.360 guys in that room right now, so he's got to 0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:41.960 be the model to everybody else. But you know what 0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:45.479 the good thing is, You've already vetted these young guys 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:49.280 that you've brought in, like Garrett Williams. You've already vetted 0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:52.360 these young guys that you brought it in, like Max Moultain. 0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:57.600 You've vetted these guys already because of your draft, because 0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:01.879 of how maniasin fort of value weights these players. They're 0:43:01.960 --> 0:43:06.200 already a good fit for your culture. They're already ahead 0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:07.399 of the game because of that ball. 0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:10.160 You know what, that's a great observation because Jonathan Gannon 0:43:10.200 --> 0:43:12.920 today said that when they met Max Melton at the combine, 0:43:13.080 --> 0:43:15.520 right away they noticed that there was chemistry there, just 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:18.200 his mindset, the way approaches the game. And then they 0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:21.440 drilled a little deeper. They had zooms, they had more interviews, 0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:23.839 and they realized, Okay, this is our sort of coin. 0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:26.800 Then they went to the tape. That's right, Paula. It 0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:30.400 was almost reverse engineered. What's the person like now we 0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:31.200 examine the player. 0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:33.040 Why would you do that? Why would you do that? 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:35.040 Why would you say, we've got this culture. This is 0:43:35.080 --> 0:43:37.120 what we have. We have a culture here. But we're 0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:39.200 gonna bring guys in. We're gonna run because he's really 0:43:39.239 --> 0:43:41.040 really good and man, we like to stay. We're gonna 0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:42.880 bring him in. Don't really know about what kind of 0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:44.600 culture fit he's gonna be, but he's gonna have to 0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:46.560 conform you know what you don't want to do that. 0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:48.320 You don't want to do that you want to go 0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:51.320 find guys that are gonna be good fits culturally. 0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:54.359 Fact JG said that it boils down to they all 0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:57.239 look at each other many Dave Sears, Jonathan Gannon, all 0:43:57.239 --> 0:44:00.120 the other personnel evaluators. Comes down to one question, do 0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:03.279 we want this guy in our building? And if the 0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:06.359 answer is yes, then they get into the football side 0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:12.279 of it. It's really intriguing, is it not.

It 0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:56.040 was rundown situation first and ten, of course, and it 0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:58.960 was twelve personnel. Well, there's going to be a lot 0:44:59.000 --> 0:45:00.720 of times that are going to be in tall personnel 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.239 with Tip Ryman as a stud tight end and Trey 0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:05.400 McBride as the move tight end. 0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:06.400 And that's what it was. 0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:08.680 It was those two guys that were out there and 0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:10.560 first and ten, there's gonna be a lot of times 0:45:10.640 --> 0:45:13.280 Kyler is going to be under center, James Connor's toes 0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:15.480 are going to be at seven yards and they're going. 0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:16.040 To run the ball. 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:18.560 Well, that's not what they did. They went ahead and 0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:22.120 spread the formation and then motion James Connor out of 0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:25.640 the backfield, went empty from the shotgun and threw the 0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:28.239 ball on first and ten and twelve personnel. That is 0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:31.719 going to blow some defensive coordinators' minds when they do 0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:33.680 that in a game, and they will. 0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:40.279 You added receivers, right, including Marvin Harrison Junior. So you 0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:42.440 had games last year like against the Niners late in 0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:44.720 the season more than four hundred yards of total offense. 0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:48.239 You got twenty yards receiving out of your receiver group. Wow, 0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:51.480 think about the run game. Yes, the two tight ends 0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.600 you just described. Yes, and now Michael Wilson and your 0:45:54.640 --> 0:45:57.600 two Marvin Harrison Junior, Greg Dorsch, who's been tearing it 0:45:57.719 --> 0:46:02.680 up say Jones.
