Speaker 1: a mouse. But I have two kids, acassa GLVC wolf
Speaker 1: at last count, you have two kids and two pets
Speaker 1: over at your compound, and so you know there is
Speaker 1: a lot of activity. Let's just face it. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just go ahead and full past all that because
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley if I'm not violating hippo laws here? How
Speaker 1: you doing? Because we saw the headline yesterday you are
Speaker 1: officially quarantining along with Dave Pash and so I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure officially, I think this is the
Speaker 1: first we've heard from you, although you know, we know
Speaker 1: you're on every social media platform, but you know, how
Speaker 1: exactly are things and how are things progressive? Well, Paully,
Speaker 1: let me start here by saying, Merry Christmas Eve, Eve, Paul, Okay,
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas Eve. I can see what I did right there.
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, Paul, I feel fantastic. I
Speaker 1: really do. I feel fantastic. Everyone in the family is fantastic.
Speaker 1: The problem is exposure, Paul. You know you come in
Speaker 1: contact with some people from time to time, and these
Speaker 1: people come down with it. And you know the protocols
Speaker 1: of the National Football League and how stringent they are.
Speaker 1: You better believe we're being very, very careful. Ball. I'm
Speaker 1: walking around here right now. I got hand sanitizern't throwing
Speaker 1: it up against the walls, Paul. I mean everything literally
Speaker 1: that you could touch here at the Wolfley compound. We
Speaker 1: got hand sanitizer, Paul. We got mass I don't know, Paul.
Speaker 1: I know you're not very clean. I know that you
Speaker 1: kind of get a little rough around the edges at
Speaker 1: home when you're there. But I can tell you right now,
Speaker 1: Polly Pristine here at the Wolfley Compound, well, if you
Speaker 1: need disinfecting wipes, I'll be over in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: I brought I'll just right there. I'll leave him under
Speaker 1: your tree. I'll send them right down the chimney if
Speaker 1: you need disinfecting wife. So, but Paully, I appreciate you
Speaker 1: asking everybody here is doing well at the Wolfley cop Well,
Speaker 1: we're concerned about you. We also want to make sure
Speaker 1: it's not some well thought out ploy to take a
Speaker 1: game off and give yourself a long Christmas weekend. So okay,
Speaker 1: there we go. We confirm that. All around they keep
Speaker 1: up to Polly. Have you soiled the silks here? Thinking
Speaker 1: about to actually calling a regular season game? Polly coming up?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a huge game. Do you understand this? Pole,
Speaker 1: You're gonna call this game and this is going to
Speaker 1: be a massive game for the Arizona Cardinals against the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Thanks for ratcheting up the pressure. I
Speaker 1: appreciate that you know, thanks for driving up the expectations.
Speaker 1: I you know, as if there isn't enough pressure, as
Speaker 1: if day Pass isn't flawless at what he does. You know,
Speaker 1: as I try and tell people, he passed, right, I
Speaker 1: mean at least beat rains following me up. All, okay,
Speaker 1: you're following pass up. You said that I didn't see.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is stinking passes over there doing a
Speaker 1: Cardinals game on a Sunday, at college basketball game on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. He does an NBA game by Wednesday, at
Speaker 1: college football game on a Saturday, another Cardinals game on
Speaker 1: a Sunday, and he doesn't mess up one thing, not
Speaker 1: one thing goes wrong, not one name, nothing, So as
Speaker 1: if there lying up already exactly. By the way, speaking
Speaker 1: of accolades, and I think Dave's won Arizona broadcast a
Speaker 1: year or something like ten years in a row or something.
Speaker 1: Speaking of active how about Kyler Murray your NFC Offensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Week his third time this season. No
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinal has ever won that award Player of the
Speaker 1: Week three times in a single season. And you know what,
Speaker 1: bottom line, the gift that keeps on giving here this
Speaker 1: holiday season is a second year Pro Bowl quarterback. When
Speaker 1: you read the names from the NFC, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray, let that wash over you. And I
Speaker 1: know what I've site myself. You can't take that for granted.
Speaker 1: We're starting to watch Kyler and everything he does in
Speaker 1: this skill set and the passing yards, and we keep
Speaker 1: asking for more. We'll wait a minute, and this season
Speaker 1: of giving an appreciation, let's appreciate that. You know what
Speaker 1: year a half instead of a have not, you have
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl quarterback to lead you for the next decade.
Speaker 1: So Polly, let's get this right. He was Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year of course his first year, and now he's
Speaker 1: a Pro bowler. Well's on Kyler Murray Zach Allen on
Speaker 1: this episode of The Big Red Rage presented by Satan
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert snap it to Murray's gonna keep me
Speaker 1: running right, cuts left, breaks a tackle at the five
Speaker 1: and end of the end zone for the touchdown. That's
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Right down, Candy Cane Lade, baby hurry and
Speaker 1: trouble in the pocket, rolls to the left, now throws
Speaker 1: left side of the end zone and oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzcarrol caught it for a touchdown, his first touchdown
Speaker 1: of the year, and it's vintage fits. Shot gun snapped
Speaker 1: to Murray drops back the throne buyers left side Hopkins.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins puts his hands up and he catches it
Speaker 1: heads a touchdown. I have no idea how he caught
Speaker 1: that fall. The sickle is how he caught that football.
Speaker 1: When you need a play, you go to the best,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins with a phenomenal catch against good coverage. I
Speaker 1: don't know if there's anybody else in the NFL who
Speaker 1: makes that catch. You know, since the onside kick really
Speaker 1: isn't a thing anymore in the NFL, maybe we'll take
Speaker 1: the moniker the hands team off that aspect of the
Speaker 1: game and put it on d hop and Larry because Wolf,
Speaker 1: can I get a comment on the degree of difficulty
Speaker 1: on those two touchdown catches part of a thirty three
Speaker 1: twenty six win against the Eagles in week fifteen, Oh, Polly,
Speaker 1: just incredible the difficulty level of DeAndre Hopkins and his catch.
Speaker 1: And then Larry Fitzgerald is well scourge at the red zone, Polly.
Speaker 1: I look at those two right there, and the most
Speaker 1: encouraging thing about that is, Listen, we all know about
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, we all know about his hands and how
Speaker 1: incredible they are, and we all know about Larry Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: and how incredible his hands are. The best thing that
Speaker 1: happened to me was the fact that Kyler Murray threw
Speaker 1: it up twice to a contested receiver, throw it up
Speaker 1: to DeAndre Hopkins, throw it up to Larry Fitzgerald, and
Speaker 1: guess what happened touchdown. Now they were really really good throws, okay,
Speaker 1: but man, they were even better catches for the most part.
Speaker 1: So hopefully, as you've got Kyler Murray, this young developing quarterback,
Speaker 1: looking at these two wide receivers making incredible catches, contested catches,
Speaker 1: hopefully he's going to do this a little bit more often.
Speaker 1: And then you had in the first half the forty
Speaker 1: five yard grab in traffic between two defenders by DeAndre Hopkins,
Speaker 1: where Kyler said, you know what, that free safety, the
Speaker 1: deep safety went to the sideline with the receiver, I'm
Speaker 1: throwing it up right down the middle. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: to your point, we did see that on multiple occasions,
Speaker 1: and hopefully that continues because that's exactly what DeAndre Hopkins wants,
Speaker 1: doesn't he nine for one sixty nine. He had the
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown, essentially the making for those points after
Speaker 1: he got some new gloves because on his first touches
Speaker 1: the game, he fumbled the ball inside the ten yard
Speaker 1: line and then he flicked his gloves away and later said, yeah,
Speaker 1: those were four X, I need five X. And so
Speaker 1: he got himself some new gloves. But but when you
Speaker 1: see DeAndre Hopkins talking to Kyler on the sideline, I
Speaker 1: presume part of that is, hey, even when I'm covered,
Speaker 1: I'm open. Yes, no, there's no doubt about that, PAULI.
Speaker 1: And remember we were talking to Cliff Cliff Kingsbury about
Speaker 1: this very play right here. Just the fact that when
Speaker 1: you had DeAndre Hopkins to the left of Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you had press cover out
Speaker 1: there at a safety in the middle of the field,
Speaker 1: they played robber coverage. This is something that the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals see an awful lot of because you want that spy,
Speaker 1: that robber who's a lurker down low, he's a free hitter.
Speaker 1: You go man across the board with a free safety
Speaker 1: high in the middle of the field and now, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've got that lurker spying Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and looking for any crossing routes. It's a common coverage
Speaker 1: at the Cardinals. See and we asked Cliff Kinsbury if
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins converted that route. In other words, he was
Speaker 1: going to run a different route, and then suddenly when
Speaker 1: he saw the coverage, he just ran fade. That's called
Speaker 1: the conversion, Paul. It happens on a lot of red routes,
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray read it and knew what was coming,
Speaker 1: and so did Deandrey Hopkins. And that's the most encouraging
Speaker 1: thing about it. He threw it up even though d
Speaker 1: hop was covered, and look what happened. Touchdown, baby well,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray a career high four hundred and six yards passing.
Speaker 1: So Kyler and de hop two of the four game
Speaker 1: balls given out by Cliff Kingsbury. In fact, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a listen wolf, We'll go all access inside the
Speaker 1: Cardinals victorious locker room against the Eagles. Here's coach Cliff
Speaker 1: game ball send the tone had a blog punt and
Speaker 1: a big cat did it again. He's elbing on every play.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins the sack machine Dennis Gardak two more says
Speaker 1: and then kay one, yeah, okay, what hear me? On
Speaker 1: this short week? You play on Saturday. We'll play on Saturday.
Speaker 1: All right, Division game, Sam Frank coming here. Let's get
Speaker 1: back on all right early, getting ready to go. Sorry,
Speaker 1: let's focus up this week. We got about it. Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray breaking them down at the very end. That was
Speaker 1: good stuff. So once again, Ezekiel Turner, Uh, no big deal,
Speaker 1: just a block punt and a twenty six yard reception
Speaker 1: on fourth and two. Premiere on thirty three Queeteans Assassin
Speaker 1: de Hop Guardak, Kyler Murray. By the way, a little
Speaker 1: bit later, you and Zach Allen are gonna have to
Speaker 1: break it down. How exactly is GUARDK doing what he
Speaker 1: is doing? I need an explanation at this point on that.
Speaker 1: But that's a team that's coming together, Walf That's what
Speaker 1: I heard in that locker room after their second straight win. Paulie,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. You can feel this right,
Speaker 1: the chemistry that they're maybe peaking at the right time,
Speaker 1: all three phases starting to find a little something something
Speaker 1: to hold on to. An identity, you know how important
Speaker 1: an identity is to me offensively, DeAndre Hopkins and the
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's starting to get that chemistry defensively, of course,
Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback special team's ball it out. It's
Speaker 1: one name that was called by passionbul during the game
Speaker 1: more than those four game ball recipients. And he is
Speaker 1: next on the big red ray presented by satan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert. Zach Allen is there for the Cardinals to
Speaker 1: make the play. Zach Allen's stuff that play. Jones backs
Speaker 1: up throwing from his two and the ball is tipped
Speaker 1: to the line and incomplete. I think Zach Allen got
Speaker 1: a hand on a shotgun formation here for her. It's
Speaker 1: takes the snap, drops back the pass facing pressure in trouble,
Speaker 1: and zack back at the thirty two yard line by
Speaker 1: Zach Allen. An enormous play made by Allen and a
Speaker 1: loss of fourteen. Well, that is a huge full men
Speaker 1: of play right there by Zach Allen. The Eagles got
Speaker 1: it going. They're trying to set up a screen to
Speaker 1: the left of Jalen Hurts and Zach Allen got told
Speaker 1: before he could throw a screen. That is an awesome job.
Speaker 1: I've lost count during the course of that game? How
Speaker 1: many times said you and Dave Pashwolf called out the
Speaker 1: name Zach Allen? You realize according to Pro Football Reference,
Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen, only three defensive lineman in the NFL
Speaker 1: have had eleven or more tackles in a game. And
Speaker 1: we're now talking to one because it's all about you.
Speaker 1: Presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert A pleasure to welcome
Speaker 1: Zach Allen, second year defensive lineman of the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: here on the show. Zach, how are we doing this evening?
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Thanks for having me, Zach. Was that
Speaker 1: the best game you've ever played at the NFL level? Ah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely have to think. So. Yeah, it's nice to
Speaker 1: have the kind of all kind of coming together right now.
Speaker 1: And you know you wanted to come together during December,
Speaker 1: so hopefully, um, you know it stays that way. What
Speaker 1: went well in that game? Like, how how would you
Speaker 1: explain that football one on one? What enabled you to
Speaker 1: end up with eleven tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss,
Speaker 1: a quarterback hit, a pass defense and your defensive coordinator?
Speaker 1: Advanced Joseph today confirming yes, Zach had his best game.
Speaker 1: Quote and quote what was it? Tell us about it? Um,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just been you know what I think
Speaker 1: just coming into this defense, you know, the defense I
Speaker 1: played in college, there's a lot of you know, staying
Speaker 1: at the live stream as reading, you know, and we
Speaker 1: played on tax and style defense. So I think, you know,
Speaker 1: the sky of started to click a little bit in
Speaker 1: my head, you know, how how to play it, and
Speaker 1: right now I'm loving it because it just lets you
Speaker 1: get off the ball and go so um yeah, I
Speaker 1: just want to keep it going forward. And you know,
Speaker 1: like Sunday, you know, it wasn't just you know me,
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of great performance. So I think,
Speaker 1: you know, we're peaking at the right time and hopefully
Speaker 1: we can keep it going. So, Zach, how's the ankle
Speaker 1: going right now? How's the ankle feeling? How's your body overall?
Speaker 1: And how's the ankle specifically? It's so well? Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean those uh you know, high ankles were paying paying
Speaker 1: the buck to deal with. But um, you know, we
Speaker 1: got a great medical staff that definitely you know, when
Speaker 1: I got injured, I definitely you know, I wanted to
Speaker 1: come back as quick as possible, and we beat the
Speaker 1: recovery time by about a week or two, so I
Speaker 1: was able to come back to that New England game
Speaker 1: and then we've just been staying on top of it
Speaker 1: and it's been feeling really good. And yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: short weeks like this week, you gotta just do a
Speaker 1: little bit of extra stuff. But I think we got
Speaker 1: a great you know plan with you know, redcounts and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So um, I think we'll be fresh
Speaker 1: for Saturday. Hey, Zach Allen, join us on the big
Speaker 1: red race to what do great advanced Joseph use? You
Speaker 1: up and down the line either side different bots along
Speaker 1: that defensive front. How varied is your usage up there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I think, you know, just in this defense,
Speaker 1: you know, you have to be able to do a
Speaker 1: lot of things, and especially on the D line. You know,
Speaker 1: I line up anywhere from a zero to nine, so
Speaker 1: which I'm pretty comfortable with because that's what I did
Speaker 1: in college. So yeah, I've just been having fun playing
Speaker 1: the different positions and you know, trying to find good matchups.
Speaker 1: So Zach, come on. In order to have a Zach attack,
Speaker 1: you've got to have a technique that you liked the most,
Speaker 1: a technique you prefer the most. So if you're talking
Speaker 1: zero to nine, that is a wide range of abilities
Speaker 1: on your end, where if you had your preference, would
Speaker 1: you line up and play where's your favorite technique? I
Speaker 1: probably say the five and I'm you know, I'm lucky.
Speaker 1: That's usually where I'm at most of the time. So
Speaker 1: over the tackle, yeah, just like right over tack, go
Speaker 1: between the tack and the tight end right in there. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's what's been working for me, and
Speaker 1: luckily that's what I get to do once wee time.
Speaker 1: Why do you like that, Zach? I mean I think
Speaker 1: there's just a familiarity. Um, do a little bit of
Speaker 1: it in college. Um. And then just also like the
Speaker 1: blocks you see there, Um, you know, it's it's pretty
Speaker 1: you know, you know what you're getting based off the
Speaker 1: tilts and stuff you can see, you know, for example,
Speaker 1: like in like a tight end um pair, you know,
Speaker 1: like a wing tight end wing. You know you could
Speaker 1: see that where if you're inside more it might be
Speaker 1: tougher to see the total picture. Um, So you could
Speaker 1: just use that information and um, you know, since you
Speaker 1: didn't see some tendencies, so you mentioned college at Boston
Speaker 1: College and then you're a high third round pick of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals last season, and then you have the four
Speaker 1: games and the neck injury that ended your season. And
Speaker 1: I remember I didn't see you for a while in
Speaker 1: the off season. When I saw you you came back,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, looks like you put some weight in
Speaker 1: some size. What was your off season all all about?
Speaker 1: In what was the before and after? Once you were
Speaker 1: done and got ready to start this season. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. So, um, you know, going through the whole
Speaker 1: combine process, you know, everybody was like, oh, you gotta
Speaker 1: cut weight to run fast, cut weight, cut weight, cut weight. Um.
Speaker 1: So I was, you know, really about like two seventy
Speaker 1: ish um to send me five going into last season,
Speaker 1: which I haven't been that light since like my sophomore
Speaker 1: year of college. UM. And then you know, playing you
Speaker 1: know more inside than I did in the past, and
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the NFL game is different. Um. You
Speaker 1: know it was a little rough at first. UM. And
Speaker 1: then you know, the neck injury, UM was a bummer
Speaker 1: because I lost a lot of reps I could get
Speaker 1: to get that experience, and then I just realized, you
Speaker 1: know that I got to you know, get bigger, faster,
Speaker 1: stronger everything, and you know, I think Buddy Morris, our
Speaker 1: strength coach, is the best in the business. So um,
Speaker 1: you know, right after, I mean really right after I
Speaker 1: got injured, you know, it was obviously a lot of rehab,
Speaker 1: but whatever I could do I was doing with Buddy.
Speaker 1: And then even when the season ended, I didn't take
Speaker 1: a vacation or anything. I just was still in the
Speaker 1: building working out. And then you know, obviously COVID hit,
Speaker 1: and you know, I still stayed out here because it
Speaker 1: was a lot more open than it would be anywhere else,
Speaker 1: and I was still able to get my list in,
Speaker 1: really focused on the nutrition everything. It really got up
Speaker 1: to about two eighty five two ninety, which I'm at
Speaker 1: now and I think that's my perfect weight. I'm moving
Speaker 1: better than I was before it was all clean weight,
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely, you know, I'm feeling good and I'm
Speaker 1: glad to see paying off now and Wolf just in incredible.
Speaker 1: Listen to Cliff Kingsbury on the recent play what he
Speaker 1: thinks of Zach Allen here recently. He's always tried to
Speaker 1: do everything like we we've told him to do it,
Speaker 1: which as a coach you appreciate. I mean, we told
Speaker 1: him to get stronger. He's been all off season here
Speaker 1: working out and getting bigger. You know, he just had
Speaker 1: a couple of injuries that had slowed him down. But
Speaker 1: to get him back out there and watch the success
Speaker 1: he's having is cool to see. He's a guy who
Speaker 1: you know, is uber productive in college. He tends to
Speaker 1: always be around the quarterback when he's in there, and
Speaker 1: it's been nice to see him have some of that
Speaker 1: production show up here the last couple of weeks. Zach,
Speaker 1: you gotta feel like you got it going right now? Right?
Speaker 1: Is your career unfolding the way you thought it might? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean this is kind of like what
Speaker 1: you know, you do you want, you know, when you
Speaker 1: think of come into the NFL, you wanted just to
Speaker 1: be a continuation of college and do what you do.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think I think for a lot
Speaker 1: of like interior defensive lineman, it probably doesn't happen right away.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, you know, you have freaks of nature
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but there's definitely a learning curve
Speaker 1: and I think I'm starting to figure that out m
Speaker 1: a little bit, and hopefully this is kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: just the turning point and that can you know, have
Speaker 1: a really consistent productive career now from here on out. Um.
Speaker 1: But I know, I mean the big things just taken
Speaker 1: a week by week, especially in this week, you know,
Speaker 1: and the teams we face this year, you know, you
Speaker 1: see a lot of different stuff. So what happened went
Speaker 1: well the week before might not so well you know
Speaker 1: for this next week. So yeah, I'm just taking a
Speaker 1: day by day, week by week and just trying to
Speaker 1: you know, stacked all together to make it work. Is
Speaker 1: there something an offensive lineman got away with in your
Speaker 1: rookie year that you're like, no, no, no no, no, no,
Speaker 1: You're not getting away with that this year. I'm wise
Speaker 1: to that. I know what's coming now. Is there anything
Speaker 1: maybe that you've learned, especially in the last year. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it, you know that helped me
Speaker 1: out was coach Buck. There's definitely you know, going through
Speaker 1: the our new Delone coach going through our through the
Speaker 1: off season. You know, I watched all the plays from
Speaker 1: the season and you know, around the league and there
Speaker 1: are definitely some blocks whereas like, you know, I just
Speaker 1: don't know how to play that. I've never seen that before.
Speaker 1: And then you know, right when he came in. I
Speaker 1: was like, well, these are the blocks that I really
Speaker 1: want to work on, and he's like, oh, these are easy.
Speaker 1: And now it's you know, I want to see those blocks.
Speaker 1: Those are the ones that I want to work you know,
Speaker 1: I want to see because it's he just he makes
Speaker 1: a game really easy to simplify. So I'm very fortunate
Speaker 1: to have him as a coach. Yeah, Coach Buck one
Speaker 1: of our favorites Wolf, I mean for a variety igot
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, a great teacher. He brings that intensity.
Speaker 1: You know, the guys respect him based on his career,
Speaker 1: and if guys don't respect him, he's been known to
Speaker 1: bust out his own game film and play his own
Speaker 1: game film in the d line room at time and
Speaker 1: his own highlights, just to make sure guys remember what
Speaker 1: kind of player he was. Not only that Bally, but Buck.
Speaker 1: Of course, we'll get in your face from time to time.
Speaker 1: Don't don't forget about that ball. He will get in
Speaker 1: your face from time to time. And he does believe
Speaker 1: in some hard coaching, some hard truth being administrated from
Speaker 1: time to time to a young guy in particular that
Speaker 1: is growing. I think he's one of the best defensive
Speaker 1: line coaches in the league and empty stadiums. When you
Speaker 1: hear a voice yelling when in doubt, it's coach buck More.
Speaker 1: Was Zach Allen back on the Big Red Rage. Garoppolo
Speaker 1: cost for it has it fakes the hand off stands
Speaker 1: tall in the pocket now hidden sacked. Zach Allen was
Speaker 1: back there along with Hassan Reddick. Garoppolo play action passed
Speaker 1: screen to the left, pass into traffic isn't complete and
Speaker 1: had Zach Allen not gotten to Jimmy gen right there,
Speaker 1: that could have been a big game for the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. Zach Allen here has gotten some
Speaker 1: real good, greasy action. He's done a nice job in
Speaker 1: this game. That was Week one and that was career
Speaker 1: sack number one for Zach Allen. Earlier this year at
Speaker 1: Santa Clara, Cardinals got the win, obviously and now going
Speaker 1: for their fifth season sweep in the Niners in the
Speaker 1: last six years. That wasn't all. He had a tackle
Speaker 1: for loss. He had a quarterback hit. Zach Allen is
Speaker 1: our guest Cardinals defensive lineman on the Big Red Rage,
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert we Are santan Ford
Speaker 1: Wolf would you care to define greasy action? What exactly
Speaker 1: does that mean in the context of a D lineman. Well,
Speaker 1: for the most part, Paula, you're getting a tackle, you're
Speaker 1: getting a tackle, you're getting a sack, You're you're getting involved,
Speaker 1: You're you're hitting another human being. You're hitting them hard.
Speaker 1: And a lot of times, Paul, when you hit another
Speaker 1: human being hard, stuff flies out of them. It's it's
Speaker 1: incredible the way that happens. But stuff will fly out
Speaker 1: of them and fly off of them, and sometimes it
Speaker 1: gets you a little greasy. I'm just saying, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: thank goodness for the ppe here in twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: of the few things were thankful for you in twenty twenty, Zach,
Speaker 1: when you get your first career sack, Like, if you're
Speaker 1: a receiver, you know your first career touchdown, you keep
Speaker 1: the ball. If you're on offense, what do you do
Speaker 1: on defense? Did you keep them a memento or a
Speaker 1: souvenir of any sort to mark your first career sack? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: I didn't really keep anything. I don't know. It was just,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm more of the guy like reminiscens when
Speaker 1: it's done, and I don't want to be done yet,
Speaker 1: so hopefully I get a lot more and than when
Speaker 1: the career is over. We can reminisce. But I don't
Speaker 1: know there's some cool pictures. I'm sure my mom she
Speaker 1: collects everything, so I'm sure she's got, you know, some
Speaker 1: cool stuff on course. Now, I know the game balls,
Speaker 1: you know, or the footballs would be nice to keep,
Speaker 1: but I think you can only do that if you
Speaker 1: pop it out. So it's true, Zach As you watch
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers and you watch them
Speaker 1: on tape. Offensively, my goodness, they have been decimated with
Speaker 1: injuries on not only the offense but the defense as well.
Speaker 1: But when you look at him offensively, how different is
Speaker 1: this offense from week one? I wouldn't say it's all
Speaker 1: that different. I think you know a lot of the
Speaker 1: key people. I mean, obviously you know you're missing you
Speaker 1: know the quarterback, and you know Jimmy Gum and also
Speaker 1: you know Kittle for all that time is you know
Speaker 1: that's obviously gonna hurt you. Um. But I think you know,
Speaker 1: like the fullback, Juice check the offensive line. I think
Speaker 1: when you have pieces like that, um, you know they
Speaker 1: kind of run the same stuff, and you know, they're
Speaker 1: really good at running what they what they do, so, um,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it's all that much different. Um. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, they're very creative and there's always going to
Speaker 1: be plays that we've never seen before. Um, but I think, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, for us, if we just play our game, UM,
Speaker 1: you know, I think we should be good. Yeah. That's
Speaker 1: why I hear guys in the locker room on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the locker room always say about when
Speaker 1: they play Kyle Shanahan that he keeps the defense honest.
Speaker 1: What do guys mean by that? What is the challenge
Speaker 1: of Kyle Shanahan, the guy who's responsible for the offense
Speaker 1: and the play caller. Yeah, it's it's interesting because it's
Speaker 1: like you know, other teams that's like you go through oh,
Speaker 1: like you know when this is when say like this
Speaker 1: motion or this formation this plays you know one hundred
Speaker 1: percent or eighty five percent, like that's what it's going
Speaker 1: to be. And then um, when you watch forty miners,
Speaker 1: you know it's a lot of fifty fifty stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: they really keep you honest, So guys can't really you know,
Speaker 1: like cheated or anything. Like that. So, UM, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be big for us to just
Speaker 1: you know, trust our keys and just and play everything true.
Speaker 1: And if we do that, we should be good. Zach.
Speaker 1: Have the forty nine ers really used six different centers?
Speaker 1: I mean? Is that? I mean I heard that. I
Speaker 1: heard some guy actually saying that today. Has that actually happened? Uh?
Speaker 1: I don't know. If it does, then you know that's impressive.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a record. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I know they their opening day starters different, but um,
Speaker 1: you know, we're just looking at it just this week
Speaker 1: with who they have and UM, you know who they
Speaker 1: they're up front, they've been basically the same the past
Speaker 1: you know, four weeks or so five weeks, so, um,
Speaker 1: and all the guys they have obviously have experience, um
Speaker 1: and are great players. So it's gonna be up to
Speaker 1: us to you know, really, you know, really control it.
Speaker 1: Here's maybe the flip side of that, Wolf. The Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals have seventeen different players with a sack this year.
Speaker 1: Think about that. That's number one in the NFL just
Speaker 1: in terms of number of players. And then the last
Speaker 1: two games there's been fourteen sacks total by this Cardinals defense.
Speaker 1: In fact, team captain Jordan Hicks, middle linebacker, was asked
Speaker 1: about that. It's huge. You know, anytime you can get
Speaker 1: pressure on a quarterback, it makes everybody's job easier to
Speaker 1: have guys go out there and to be able to
Speaker 1: put it together. The pass rush of the way we
Speaker 1: have the past few games is exceptional. That's a big
Speaker 1: key to our success. You know, we've got to get
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback and you know we've been able
Speaker 1: to do that. I know some of the Eagles analysts
Speaker 1: and some of the Eagles media was talking about how
Speaker 1: often advanced Joseph dialed things up. You tell us how
Speaker 1: key has that been? And you know, what's the reaction
Speaker 1: from an offense? So do you have them are they
Speaker 1: always sort of looking for the next creative Zach Blitz
Speaker 1: package that's coming. What do you attribute this sack surge
Speaker 1: too so far? Zach? Honestly, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: it has come from us doing well in the run
Speaker 1: the past two weeks. I think, um, you know, the
Speaker 1: Giants game, in the Eagle game, we did a good
Speaker 1: job of you know, getting them into some third and
Speaker 1: long opportunities, which you know give us that opportunity to
Speaker 1: kind of just go after it. So, um, you know,
Speaker 1: there's kind of the saying, you know, you have to
Speaker 1: earn the right to rush, and you do that by
Speaker 1: winning first and second down and stuff is stopping to run.
Speaker 1: So if we keep that up, then you know, I
Speaker 1: don't see why the SAX numbers should have changed, Zach.
Speaker 1: How physical is this offense? When I think the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers, I think of Kyle Shanahan, of course,
Speaker 1: loving twenty one personnel, two backs including a fullback, and
Speaker 1: Kyle youth Check. I'm not going to say that he's
Speaker 1: in iso power fullback, but he is a fullback nonetheless,
Speaker 1: and they like to run the ball in between the tackles.
Speaker 1: How physical is this forty nine Ers team when you
Speaker 1: watch him on film? Yeah, they do a little bit
Speaker 1: of everything. I mean, obviously, I think their go to is,
Speaker 1: you know, they're the tosses in the stretch side to side. Um,
Speaker 1: but they've definitely, you know, been running a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, kick and power and stuff like that to
Speaker 1: change it up. So and like I said, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, look at the guys they have. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're all really good offensive Linemen. You know, you guys
Speaker 1: a guy probably a future Hall of Famer, and Trent Williams,
Speaker 1: and then it's a really high pick in like McGlinchey
Speaker 1: and the three interior guys, especially Thomason. You know, they're
Speaker 1: that they can move really well, but also they really
Speaker 1: you know, can get off the ball and um go downhill.
Speaker 1: So um, you know, they got a really good group.
Speaker 1: But I think we got a good game plan, so hopefully, um,
Speaker 1: you know, it works in our favor. And they've been
Speaker 1: here all month, so there there's another part of home
Speaker 1: field advantage that does not exist in twenty twenty. What's
Speaker 1: it been like playing in these empty stat especially on
Speaker 1: the road, like in New York MetLife Stadium eighty thousand
Speaker 1: seats and completely empty and you can hear sound just
Speaker 1: reverberate off these empty seats. What's that been like as
Speaker 1: a player in these empty stadiums. It's definitely been weird.
Speaker 1: I mean when the first game was obviously the weirdest
Speaker 1: because you could hear so much. But honestly, I think
Speaker 1: it gives an advantage to the offenses because they can
Speaker 1: do so much, you know, hardcount stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: they can communicate because you know, there's nothing really blocking
Speaker 1: it out. So for us of the defense, you know
Speaker 1: the fact that I don't even know how many outside
Speaker 1: cone of these you know, I don't think we have
Speaker 1: that many. Though that we've done. You know, we've been
Speaker 1: able to kind of hold their water and you know,
Speaker 1: not jump and give away three yards has been big
Speaker 1: for us. But yeah, there's definitely some moments, you know,
Speaker 1: when they cut the sound off on you know, an
Speaker 1: injury or if there's like a commercial break or something
Speaker 1: that it's it's pretty pretty eerie and pretty weird, especially
Speaker 1: in New York, you know, for how busy it is.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was, Yeah, you kind of get used
Speaker 1: to it now. So hopefully next year we can have
Speaker 1: people in the stands. It's probably going to be you know,
Speaker 1: say there's you know, only like sixty thousand compared to
Speaker 1: you know, like one hundred thousand person stadium, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be like we can't hear anything, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: think about it, Well, the old line hasn't had to
Speaker 1: prepare for silent count all season, right, and defensive lines
Speaker 1: thrive on that. From my understanding, right, a defensive lineman
Speaker 1: can live off that in a home game, and they
Speaker 1: feed off those fans, and just that little bit of
Speaker 1: a jump because of a silent count can be the difference,
Speaker 1: can it? Oh? No, Dotto Pauli, And you stop and
Speaker 1: think about it till a great pass rusher third and eight,
Speaker 1: third and obvious pass situation right now, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's a big point in the fourth quarter. Maybe you're
Speaker 1: down three points or maybe you're up three points. You
Speaker 1: gotta get off the field and now you have a
Speaker 1: chance to go at make a play in sack at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine the rush when that crowd is out
Speaker 1: of its mind. It's huge ball. Another guy who's been
Speaker 1: huge Dennis Gardek. We need answers next on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert, Shotgun Snap
Speaker 1: hurts a short set, steps up, being chased bar side
Speaker 1: by Guardek sacks up at the forty one yard line.
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardeck has become the sack machine. Shotgun Snap hurts
Speaker 1: with a short set in trouble, steps up, gets hit
Speaker 1: and sacked. Dennis Gardek was there first. Somebody hit the
Speaker 1: stroll baby Guard Deckie Dodd, Deckie gard Deckie is Kyler,
Speaker 1: Murray Wired up, don't miss Season in Focus this weekend
Speaker 1: on twelve News six thirty Saturday night, and you're going
Speaker 1: to get a great insight all access look at Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: including that moment right there. Because as we say, welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Big Red Race, presented by Satan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley, and special guests Zach Allen.
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, there really are only two kinds of
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals players right now, those who have hit the
Speaker 1: strobe and those who have not. And Zach, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: let's just straight out sources tell us there was a
Speaker 1: moment in that game where you did hit the strobe?
Speaker 1: True or false? Yeah, I definitely have to cele with
Speaker 1: my guy, Zat. Do you have your own I mean honestly, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you have your own sack dance? Something you're developing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I always afraid that I'm going to
Speaker 1: get a penalty or something, but I'm definitely gonna get
Speaker 1: something worsen. I'll work with the guys on it, because
Speaker 1: you know, so far, I haven't hasn't been too hot
Speaker 1: so far what I've done, But yeah, I'll work with
Speaker 1: Shannon and Dennis on it. You know, the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I guess recently has had freestyle Friday, where you know,
Speaker 1: guys are beat boxing and rapping in the whole thing now, um,
Speaker 1: one of us okay, it's Wolf. Wolf has been known
Speaker 1: to freestyle on the air at times regrettably, and in fact,
Speaker 1: I think I think he was threatened with termination because
Speaker 1: we haven't heard it in a while. Zach, You're not
Speaker 1: one of those guys who goes over there and joins
Speaker 1: the old line with a freestyle Friday, are you. No.
Speaker 1: I can barely speak the English language, so I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be going off like that, all right, Zach.
Speaker 1: You're you're a young guy, and you're developing, and that
Speaker 1: defense has got a lot of young guys that are
Speaker 1: developing right now. How do you get better personally? Zach?
Speaker 1: Where do you think you need to improve? I think,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, consistency is a big thing, um. And
Speaker 1: then obviously I mean, like you could just go get
Speaker 1: down the line. I mean, I really just want to
Speaker 1: get better at everything. I want to become, you know,
Speaker 1: more transistent in the past rush. I want to have,
Speaker 1: you know, a real signature move that you know, even
Speaker 1: if they know it's coming that they can't stop in
Speaker 1: the run game, you know, I think definitely, you know,
Speaker 1: double teams, I gotta, you know, just keep working on.
Speaker 1: I think I've been making improvements, but you can always
Speaker 1: be better. And then just you know, learning the game more.
Speaker 1: Why you know, offensives do certain things and how to
Speaker 1: anticipate it. Um, you know, I think that's why it's
Speaker 1: so important to just get those reps in game and
Speaker 1: then also in practice. So um, you know, I knocking
Speaker 1: on what I stay healthy, I can get those reps
Speaker 1: and just keep on working at it. Well, you mentioned
Speaker 1: the word improved. That's the operative word for vance. Joseph,
Speaker 1: We've seen it especial the last couple of weeks. We
Speaker 1: cited the stat fourteen sacks the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: And he was asked about the defense today in general,
Speaker 1: and he cited guys like Zach who was in his
Speaker 1: second year. Here's your defensive coordinator. I told our staff
Speaker 1: and our defense a couple of months ago, I say,
Speaker 1: when when Zach Allen and Lucky and Rashod Lawrence and
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardeck and those young players start playing well for us,
Speaker 1: this defense will go to the next level. You know,
Speaker 1: and it's it's happening because those young guys are taking
Speaker 1: bigger roles and they're playing very well. For us. Those
Speaker 1: guys are really really, really getting better as players, each becoming.
Speaker 1: Zach had its best game, you know, with eleven tackles
Speaker 1: in one sack, and there were times where you were
Speaker 1: out there were the two rookies, right, Lucky Foe two
Speaker 1: and Richard Lawrence and it was a three you guys
Speaker 1: in the trenches. Yeah, I know, we definitely, I think
Speaker 1: we take pride in being young guys. Um. You know, definitely,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people probably doubt us or
Speaker 1: you know how questions about us, and you know, being
Speaker 1: a young guy, you definitely, you know you want to
Speaker 1: keep make sure that excuse that oh he's young, you
Speaker 1: know he can't do it. Yet you want to get
Speaker 1: rid of that excuse. So I think, you know, for us,
Speaker 1: we take great pride in doing it the right way.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think all three of us are
Speaker 1: really excited to see kind of paying off a little
Speaker 1: bit right now, Zach, what do you think you guys
Speaker 1: need to do in order to beat the four nine
Speaker 1: ers and their offense? What do you think defensively you
Speaker 1: guys need to focus on whether you're a young guy,
Speaker 1: old guy, whatever it may be, keys to beating the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers offense. What do you think I think
Speaker 1: for us, you know, we have a saying, uh, know
Speaker 1: your job and do your job, and that's really just
Speaker 1: in our key to victory the past few weeks. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I think we need to do because
Speaker 1: you know, if everyone is just on point, does their
Speaker 1: job right, you know, is in the right gap, in
Speaker 1: the right coverage, doing it all right. I think you know,
Speaker 1: then it just becomes you know, one on one matchups
Speaker 1: and you know that's just that that's why you get
Speaker 1: paid to play football as the windows. So h we're
Speaker 1: really excited for it. And I think you know when
Speaker 1: you keep it simple like that and uh like, lets
Speaker 1: guys play fast, and you know, our coaches do a
Speaker 1: great job of getting us ready for the game, so um,
Speaker 1: you know, all the credit goes to them. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and we come full sole here. And I got to
Speaker 1: go back to Dennis Gardeck. I need an explanation here, Zach.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a phenomenal ninety three snaps on
Speaker 1: defense all year, ninety three snaps he has seven sacks,
Speaker 1: seven tackles for loss, ten quarterback hits, eleven tackles, a
Speaker 1: fumble recovery. I mean, what in the sam name of
Speaker 1: extreme production is going on here? Please tell me how
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardeck is getting this done with such phenomenal efficiency.
Speaker 1: I think he's just you know, he's one of the
Speaker 1: hardest working guys I've ever met in my life, and
Speaker 1: it's just really good to see a payoff because you know,
Speaker 1: just from the offseason also in practice. I mean, he
Speaker 1: really won't see a guy push himself harder. And you
Speaker 1: know he's he really is. I mean, it's just the
Speaker 1: one word to describe. He's an absolute stud and you
Speaker 1: know everything he does, so you know, I'm just really
Speaker 1: glad to call him a friend and you know, to
Speaker 1: be able to work with him and see see how
Speaker 1: he approaches every single day and I know it definitely
Speaker 1: doesn't just rub off on me, but a lot of
Speaker 1: other guys. And there's a reason why he's one of
Speaker 1: our captains. When you look at guys like Lucky Foe
Speaker 1: two and Richard Lawrence PAULI mentioned them already right now,
Speaker 1: I mean, where do you think they have improved in
Speaker 1: their game? As you watch them on tape, where do
Speaker 1: you think they've improved? I think definitely, um, you know,
Speaker 1: just technique and stuff, because you know, they've all most
Speaker 1: guys are blessed with size. Um I think you know,
Speaker 1: you see them playing really fast now, they definitely have
Speaker 1: that confidence using their hands really well. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be really scary to see them when
Speaker 1: they you know, they really start getting me, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun, um, you know, to
Speaker 1: play with them. Zach, you're enjoying this Arizona weather here
Speaker 1: in December, you know, hailing from Connecticut and then going
Speaker 1: to BC. You enjoying the Arizona weather these days? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't have to warm up my car white box
Speaker 1: snow or scrape bop bites. Um. You know, I could
Speaker 1: just wake up and go in and you know, we
Speaker 1: still get the practice outside. And now it's been it's
Speaker 1: been awesome. I've been loving it out year. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: it's definitely a change of pace. And I always thought,
Speaker 1: you know, oh, I'm a Northeast guy. You know, I
Speaker 1: need my cold, I need my seasons. But you know,
Speaker 1: Arizona is definitely turning me and you know when we
Speaker 1: played in New England and New York, you know, we
Speaker 1: were pretty blessed with you know, being fifty fifty degree
Speaker 1: weather and that was over there, you know, and what
Speaker 1: the heck has happened and the usually being shorts and
Speaker 1: this stuff. So well, Hey, we've enjoyed having you here tonight.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the time. Thank you, Zach
Speaker 1: And yeah, thank you guys. How going yep, good luck
Speaker 1: against the Niners. Back to wrap up the Big Red
Speaker 1: Ray presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert. DeAndre Hopkins is
Speaker 1: a game changer physically. You bring so many tools to
Speaker 1: the table. It's going to be a massive help to
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Wide receiver screen to the laft caught by
Speaker 1: Hopkins at the twenty five hoof the chains. Baby, you're
Speaker 1: gonna catch a lot of passes this year. Throw as
Speaker 1: far aside of the sideline caught by Hopkins. A first
Speaker 1: down I even catch made by Hopkins. Grows a deep
Speaker 1: all far sideline and on target. DeAndre Hopkins with a
Speaker 1: first down catch swite open Hopkins caught at the twenty
Speaker 1: fart sight ten five and he's hit at the one.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Valley. Now about fourteen catches in his
Speaker 1: Cardinals debut that was Week one at San Francisco, a
Speaker 1: career high fourteen catches, one hundred fifty one yards receiving.
Speaker 1: That's how you make a first impression. Now the Cardinals
Speaker 1: come back and play the Niners at State Farm Stadium
Speaker 1: Saturday at two thirty or wrapping up this edition to
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: We are, santan Ford a pleasure to have Zach Allen.
Speaker 1: He was outstanding. He was as good on the air
Speaker 1: as he has been on the field. And we brought
Speaker 1: up the weather at the end there Wolf, just because
Speaker 1: when the Cardinals left New England three days later, there
Speaker 1: was snow within the Boston area, and then as soon
Speaker 1: as the Cardinals left the New York Giants game, where
Speaker 1: temperatures were also in the fifties, there was this massive
Speaker 1: northeastern that blew through New York and left like forty
Speaker 1: inches of snow on parts of New York State that
Speaker 1: you know all too well being from Buffalo. So I
Speaker 1: was curious how Zach is adapted to the A Z
Speaker 1: and this time of year, He's gotta love it. I presume. Oh, Paula,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. I mean, for a kid
Speaker 1: that comes from the Northeast and that's where I was from,
Speaker 1: I can tell you when I came out here, it's
Speaker 1: like what planet are way on right now? Because this
Speaker 1: is something I do not understand. You know how it
Speaker 1: gets here? The beautiful weather, when you've got that cool
Speaker 1: sunshine in December on your skin, there's not a sensation
Speaker 1: like it. And so d Hop has been singular in
Speaker 1: so many ways right now. He's leading the NFL and
Speaker 1: receiving yards over thirteen hundred, he has one hundred and
Speaker 1: three catches, he's number two in that department, and he's
Speaker 1: seemingly you tell me, listen to what Kyler Murray as
Speaker 1: I say, he's seemingly getting better when all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: him and Kyler are connected. Even though d Hop would
Speaker 1: be technically covered, he's still open. And Kyler was asked
Speaker 1: about his trust level these days. I like him versus anybody,
Speaker 1: and uh, I like me to put the ball where
Speaker 1: it needs to be. So I guess ninety nine point
Speaker 1: nine are what have you said? It is beautiful evolved
Speaker 1: between these two guys. Yeah, paul that is beautiful. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what you want to see right here. Is one
Speaker 1: of the things I was talking to you about in
Speaker 1: the earlier part of the Beautiful program was just the
Speaker 1: fact that Kyler Murray was making the decision to throw
Speaker 1: the ball up to DeAndre Hopkins even though he was covered,
Speaker 1: even though he looked like he was covered, Throw it
Speaker 1: up to him, Larry Fitzgerald that touchdown in the back
Speaker 1: of the end zone. Throw it up to Larry Fitzgerald.
Speaker 1: When you've got receivers that are playmakers, and that's exactly
Speaker 1: what DeAndre Hopkins is, and that's what Larry Fitzgerald is.
Speaker 1: When you've got receivers that have some of the best
Speaker 1: hands in the history of the National Football League, that
Speaker 1: are playmakers, throw the ball at them, even when they're covered,
Speaker 1: they're not covered, even when they're covered, they're open, Throw
Speaker 1: the ball to them. And that's a hard thing to
Speaker 1: teach a quarterback. Paul stop and think about it. They're
Speaker 1: always looking, well, who's open, where's the open guy? And
Speaker 1: then you look out there and you see a guy
Speaker 1: running stride for stride with DeAndre Hopkins or Larry Fitzgerald.
Speaker 1: It's a hard thing to say throw the ball to
Speaker 1: him because you're always looking for the guy that is open.
Speaker 1: But I think Kyler Murray is starting to learn it.
Speaker 1: Paul starting to learn to throw the ball to these
Speaker 1: guys even when it's going to be a contested catch,
Speaker 1: and that might be the best development of this offense
Speaker 1: going forward. Right, you know what, You're safe because DeAndre
Speaker 1: hopkins grandfather listens. He said that today is his grandfather
Speaker 1: listens to everything and reads everything in this market. So
Speaker 1: you know, if there's any haters or any critics or negativity,
Speaker 1: then boom, he lets de hop know. But that was
Speaker 1: that was on par wolf You're safe from from any
Speaker 1: sort of blowback from from de Hop's grandfather. Just some
Speaker 1: outstanding comments from DeAndre Hopkins today. You know markets Back
Speaker 1: to the Keeping Real Ball Special. Thanks Tody Fincher and
Speaker 1: producer and manager Jim Almandro for Ron Wolfley on Paul
