Cardinals cornerback Marco Wilson is on 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.000 board tonight. Marco, how are we doing? I'm doing great? 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.240 How are you doing? Oh? Man? I tell you we're 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.280 all We're all feeding off your energy this So what 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.120 does this last? I mean seriously, Thursday to Thursday? What 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.920 has it been like? What has your phone been like? 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.600 Have you even caught up? Yeah? Now, my phone was 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.560 definitely blowing up. A whole bunch of people hitting me up, 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.160 you know, telling me about the play they saw. It's 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.960 been real cool, you know, it's been real cool. So overall, Marco, 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:08.200 what kind of season do you think you're having right now? Uh? 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.240 I say, I'm pretty having a I said a solid season. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.000 I mean, I think I've been elevanting my play every week. Um, 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.440 and I've just been doing what the coach has been 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.320 asking me to do, trying to help my team however 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.680 we need it. Um. You know, came up, came up 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.240 big this this weekend, making some big plays. But I 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.320 think I think I've been getting better and better each week. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.840 You mentioned the coaches in this season, and of course 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.800 this season starts in August with cam and coach Kingsbury 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.720 had a couple of things to say. What did he 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.680 want to see out of you? Get out of you 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:43.399 that maybe he wasn't seen at that point? Uh, honestly, 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.440 maybe may just make more plays because I'm never a 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.600 guy who's really out of position and like someone who's 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.040 messing up plays and stuff like that. I've come in 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.760 and I'm pretty detailed. That's That's the thing. I hang 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.160 my head on some my details. I'm great a tension 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.800 to detail. So probably just just making more plays, you know, 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.480 picks and stuff like that. But you know, it's it's 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.600 it's something I didn't put too much pressure on myself. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.720 I understood what I needed to do, and I just 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.440 took it day by day and just you know, did 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.720 the things necessary that I need to do to you know, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.359 try to fix these things. You know, Marco, I've got 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.000 a question here. I want to ask you about Thursday Night, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.240 of course, and then I want to follow it up PAULI, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.000 if that's okay with you. But my first question is 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.359 was was Thursday Night the best game you've played as 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.560 a problem I asked him this earlier in the week 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.639 Go Ahead, Marco, I said, not at all. I mean 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.400 the first drive I gave up a pretty bad touchdown, 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.000 So that's definitely out the book for best game ever. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.760 But it's definitely I think I played a great game. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.080 After that. They completed I say, one pass for not 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.680 even ten yards after that on me. So I think 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.480 it was a solid game, and I think it was 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.960 honestly good that I got scored on like that because 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.880 it was a good challenge. Like it happened early on. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.600 I got to be able to turn my mind around 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.040 and make a good game out of it. Okay, what 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:02.040 about the meme? Okay, what about you diving across the 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.360 end zone? Marco, I gotta tell you about I've been 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.760 a on this game for a long time. I've seen 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.840 a lot of stuff. I've never seen anybody take off 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:16.120 from the four yard line and land in the minus two. Man, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.039 where do you get those kinds of hops? Man? God 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.479 given talent? Man, that's all I can't say. I mean, 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.760 my dad was an athlete, you know, my mom's a 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.720 little a little bit of an athlete, I say, but 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.720 let's just gotta give him a talent. Man, I likened 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.320 it to go into the big Top as a kid, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.520 the circus and the human cannonball where they put the 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.000 guy you know and just and the guy shoots across 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.120 the big top end of the net, except Marco was 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.200 working without a net, and we'll get into that in 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.320 detail in a little bit. Here's Cliff Kingsbury. We mentioned 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.080 NFC Defensive Player of the Week and it's not going 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.920 to be your best game ever in the book, in 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.800 your book at least, but in the box score you 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.240 had the pick six, he had two passes, defense, he 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.640 had three times les and then you got the hardware. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.279 Here's your head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. Excited for him. He's 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.560 worked really hard since training camp, continue to get better 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.240 and just his presence on the field, how calm he 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.279 looked out there Thursday night, His demeanor, the situational awareness 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.159 has really improved and that was a big time play 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:18.680 he made. So it's it's fun to see a guy 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.080 like that gradually get better and earn some some recognition 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.920 from outside this building. What do you hear from vance Joseph? 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.520 What are you from? Cornerbacks coach Graig Williams? What are 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.800 they still impressing upon you because you're only halfway through 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.480 year two in this league. So what do they what 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.920 do they harp on you week by week? Just just 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.440 keep doing what I what got me to start in 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.440 position as a rookie, which is, like I said, my 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.279 attention to details. You know, out of this world, I think, Uh, 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.680 And just continue to do that and not change anything 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.480 up I'm doing or trying to do too much or 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.400 doing less than what I've been doing. But just keep 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:53.880 doing what I've been doing, is what they tell me. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.919 And you know, I know that's exactly what I should do. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.640 I don't I don't need to change anything. I don't think. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.200 The only thing I can do is just do more 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.400 what you're more preparation, maybe stay more after practice, stuff 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.080 like that. Marco, if you could go into the detail 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.880 of playing the cornerback position in the National Football League, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:14.400 I mean, there's so much that goes into it. Obviously, 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.760 the physicality that comes with it, and when I say that, 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.680 I mean the more of the raw athleticism that it 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.640 takes to play that position right there. But it's also 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.360 a bit of a mind game, is it not. Yeah, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.120 there's definitely a lot of mental preparation going into a 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.240 game as a cornerback. I think more than people expect. Honestly, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.200 I think the mental part is honestly more than the 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.480 physical part. But I say this is this is definitely 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.479 one of the hardest positions of playing football, and especially 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.000 with all the rules they're creating to help offenses. I know, 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.120 I know these guys want to see offenses go crazy. 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.440 So it's definitely getting harder to play as a dB. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.560 You can't do a lot of things used to be 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.800 able to do, so it's definitely challenging, but you know, 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.760 it's fun. At the end of the day. It's fun 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.520 and I enjoy doing what I do. I mean, look 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:03.039 at DAP he drew three defensive holding flags in one game. Yeah. Yeah, 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.480 but you've been doing this since you are a true 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.640 freshman at Florida, So I mean, and when I saw 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.280 I saw the stat You played in a high school 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.760 program with Patrick Certan and Tyson Campbell. Yeah, I played 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.640 with a lot of guys. Those are usually just the 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.320 guys that get like, you know, the name put out there, 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:22.920 But I played with We got a lot of guys 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.080 in the NFL right now out of American Herd. Yeah, 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.800 that's that's just I mean, so to what degree? I mean, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.240 you know, have you been preparing for this NFL career 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.480 since age? What I mean in a lot of ways. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.880 I mean, you must feel mentally prepared. I'll probably say 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.000 I got super serious after like in my freshman year 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.200 of high school. That's when I changed to playing cornerback. Um, 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.520 and I realized, like, I'm having really fun playing cornerback, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.640 and I'm pretty decent at it right now at a 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.440 young age, like I can probably you know, do something 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:57.360 serious with this. So Marco, right now this season, I'm 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.200 just talking about this season. Who's the toughest receiver you 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:07.120 face so far? That's a good question. You played a 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.600 lot of marquee guys already and you might be getting 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:15.120 the best receiver in the game this Sunday kind of thing, 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.240 justin Jefferson. So yeah, let me ask you this. I'll 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.840 follow up with this right here, even though you haven't answered, 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.720 I'll follow up with this mark all right here. Do 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:30.600 you do you keep a diary of any of your 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.839 opponents and write stuff down? Do you take notes? Is 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:40.160 there anything you do uh specific to the position? And um, 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.800 what's your right face in the future I'll take I'll 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:45.400 take a ton of notes. I have a notebook that 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.120 I bring into the building every day. I'm taking plenty 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.920 of notes on the guys that I'm going against. So 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.680 and that's something that really helps me. I think tak 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.840 taking notes like that really makes things thick in my 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.120 in my brain. So when it when it gets down 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.600 to game time and things I hectic, you know, like 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.679 I could think quickly. So I just googled it up. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.560 You're on it, whys KELBC on his phone. I just 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.760 googled it up. So if I'm seeing this right at 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.840 the combine, you ran a four three five, and then 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.320 move that decimal point over one because your vertical was 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.160 forty three and a half inches. Yeah, oh my goodness. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.840 So Wolf, there's part of the answer. Okay, to to 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.240 to what you were talking about with the front flip. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.000 Here's Buddha Baker to his locker yesterday and he was 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.199 just asked about your pure athleticism. You know, he has 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.520 all the attributes, the size, the speed. He's very explosive. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.360 If you guys didn't know, I think he'd bench like 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.160 what was it twenty times and the twenty six reps. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.560 You know guy who jumps forty inches. Uh you know, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.880 not as fast as me yet, but you know he's 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.760 getting there, and uh you know he's in there. He's 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.720 making plays, making tackles, you know, picking the ball and 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.240 jumping sky high ins an end zone. You can also 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.320 leap over cars apparently. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, whatsad what's 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.800 that parkour? Yeah? I saw the little YouTube video, and uh, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.960 you know, I would expect nothing less from that guy. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.640 He's he's a different type of folk, different type of folk. 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.600 I like that. Tell us about the video most people 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.680 have seen it. If you're on social media, how old 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.840 you when you shot that? And just what gonna response 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.560 if you received. I think I was probably like either 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.439 thirteen or fourteen years old, like eighth grade, and I 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.280 had I had always been into like doing flips. When 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.360 I was like seven years old, I taught myself how 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.520 to do a backflip. And then I remember one day 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.080 I was I was real young, and I seen a 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.040 video on YouTube. It was a parkour video by some 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.240 guys named Storm Free Run, and I watched the video 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.480 and I thought everything they were doing was fire. I'm like, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.960 they're flipping, they jumping off the wall. I'm like this 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.040 is cool, Like I could. I could probably do this 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.480 so just when I had when I used to have 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.440 a lot of downtime as a kid, I would, you know, 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.320 practice new flips, jump over obstacles and stuff like that. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.160 The feedback I'm getting from it's funny because that video 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.400 has been out for so long and a lot of people. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.120 I would only really show some of my friends and 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.480 I'd be like, he, don't tell nobody. Don't tell nobody 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.520 about this video because I know they're gonna laugh about it. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.280 But it's great feedback. I mean, I'm glad this video 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.840 came back up because people could see like things I 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.480 used to be in interest I used to have, So 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.520 it's pretty cool. Marco. How does Parker help you play corner? 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.680 Does it? I mean, is there anything that translates from 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.160 parcore over to playing corner of the National Football League. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.760 I'd probably say the only thing that really helps with 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.240 that is just the athletic ability that it takes to do. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.960 Parkour just helps me, you know, play a position like cornerback, 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.160 which requires a lot of athleticism. When you launched into 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.040 that front flip, did you know exactly how it was 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.880 gonna finish? Oh? Yeah, Like I said, I did that 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.800 same exact thing before, like in college, I've gotten a 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.800 pick in practice and I ran to the endzone and 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.800 doing that and using college you can't. I didn't get 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.520 a chance. They have a pick six and if I would, 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.120 I probably would have done it because it'd probably be 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.320 a flag in college. So I had to take my 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.760 chance with this one. You realize when you're a grandparent, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.760 you can show that meme to the kid, the grand kids. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.640 You realize Landy Dalton and the four ground and you 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.800 in the background. Yeah, that'd be pretty amazing, pretty amazing, 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.720 I bet I kid you not. I saw that thing 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.800 and laughed out for about five minutes. Man, Okay, what 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.760 sports did you play in high school? Marcou and high 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.280 school only did I only did a football on track track, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.199 and I was that uh yeah, I actually I used 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.400 to always go to States for triple jump doing jump, 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.280 so that'd probably makes some sense. Didn't you win a 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.760 weren't you right up there among the state's best sprinters 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.880 like one yard? I see that in your I was 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.680 I was a great sprinter, but I did win States 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.760 for like group group events like the four by one. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.040 We had a crazy team. It Pat Urtane was on 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.000 a four by one team. Anthony Schwartz is at the 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.160 Browns right now, Tyson Campboots, Oh my goodness, fast just 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.679 speat everywhere people want to know about the athleticism in 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.360 the NFL. Welcome like Buddha Baker won a state one 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.240 hundred title and high school in Washington. And then what 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.320 Mike Marco does. So you know it makes sense, right. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.280 I mean, these guys are the point one percent who 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.280 are playing this game we call NFL football. Is speaking 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.079 of d Hop he returned. What does he you for cornerbacks? 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.360 Because I see d Hop talking to defensive guys a 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.920 lot on the sideline. How much is he helped you 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.400 with your game? I think d Hop's helped me a lot. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.679 I think especially last year when I when I came 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.840 in as a young rookie, I was going against him 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.960 a lot, and it was something I was super excited about. 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.760 He beat me a few times and and I didn't 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.000 get too mad because at the end of the day, 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.520 I know it's d Hop. I know he does. I 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.760 know he's best receiver in the country right now. So 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.440 what I do is just talk to him like yo, 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.079 like what did you see? What did you see me 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:28.760 doing right here? How did you think to do this? 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.280 And he'll tell me everything. I mean, because he's not 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.160 gonna hold out on answers. I'm on his team. He 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.280 wants me to win too, so he's helped me a lot. Man. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:36.920 He's a smart guy, he's been playing for a long 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.800 time and he's a great player, so it helps a lot. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.520 So Marco, what would you rather play man off her? 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:48.480 Press man? I'd probably say press man. That's because that's 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.079 that's just what I've been used to. But I think 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.160 VJ has been been doing a great job with helping 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.160 me work on my feet and off curveses too, so 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.480 I could try to perfect you know, press and off 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:04.359 you know. Speaking of DJ, he mentioned that the defense 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.360 was a little surprise Friday morning because he had an 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.200 edge to him. He liked to win, didn't necessarily love 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.360 the defense, and there were three big plays back. He 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.240 kept harping on the three big place. So you'll hear 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.720 from your defensive coordinator what he told the media when 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.240 we come back, and we'll talk about Justin Jefferson and 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.280 the Vikings. Ridiculous stats. Wolf on Justin Jefferson, you realize 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.000 he has the most yards receiving of anybody in NFL 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.240 history through three seasons, and he still has eleven games 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.280 to go. Yes, I mean he's been playing real good. 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.280 He's tracking to break Randy Moss's single season record. Hello 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.280 Randy Moss. Another Florida guy, Right, you're a Florida guy. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.080 Patrick Peterson is a Fort Lauderdale guy. He had some 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.560 stuff to say on his podcast this week. We'll get 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.600 into all that. The Big Red Rage, Rud Marco Wilson, 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:59.400 We come back, presented by Santan Ford and Gil Back 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.920 to the past. It was Dalton Perstown fires over the 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.520 middle of the ball is tipped into the air and 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.120 picked off with the thirty yards line running left to 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:10.000 its twenty Marco Wilson to the dead He high stepped head, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.680 then he does a flip into the end zone of 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.600 the topdown Marco Wilson and the pick six and the 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:20.200 Cardinals take the lane twenty to fourteen. Dalton straight dropped 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.520 back throws over the middle and a one handed interception 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.920 by his Asa Simmons in midfield runs it back to 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.120 the left of the forty pat the thirty pad, the 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.600 twenty five pad, the twenty pad. Simmons in back to 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:35.760 back interceptive returns for touchdowns by the Cardinals. On the 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.760 end of the half. It was twenty two points right 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.000 before halftime, scored by the Arizona Cardinals. In fact, the 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.120 Cardinals did the nation of favor and saved America from 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.320 another low scoring Thursday night football game. Instead of these 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.760 twelve nine, twelve seven games, you guys put the most 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.680 points on the board in over five years at Thursday 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.240 Night Football. We like to call ourselves the original Thursday 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.560 Night Football. Here the Big Red Rage, presented by Santan 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.880 Ford and Gilbert pall Kelbac mostly and our very special 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.320 guests Marco Wilson, the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.280 You mentioned the phone. Uh, it must have blown up 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.120 right after you. I mean we just served the call. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:11.920 You got into the locker room, picked up your phone 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.560 and then and then you tell us what was that Like, Yeah, 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.160 it was. It was a whole bunch of people, you know, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.000 hitting me up. But you know, of course, I try 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:19.560 to hurry up and look through all the messages to 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.880 find with my family saying I'd love to see what 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.480 my family saying because they're the most important. I know. 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.240 They were super excited because they weren't at the game. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.240 They had to see it on TV, so it was 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.760 just while, you know, wow, But it's a blessing. Man. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.640 I'm so happy to be able to have that opportunity 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.120 to make a play like that and be able to 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.920 play in the NFL and just do what I'm doing. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.480 So Marco, as you're watching yourself right now, not only 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.280 from the beginning of the year, but also from the 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.840 beginning of your career, where do you think you've gotten 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.800 better and where do you think you need to improve? 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.000 I think I've improved just my awareness of the game, honestly, 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.400 and just a few tech meet things with these with 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.960 these zone coverages that I've had to learn since coming 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.840 into the NFL, I think I've gotten I've gotten better 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.680 with that. Uh And and I think I also still 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.960 need to work on all my own coverages because still 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.040 that's that's something I've always done since college. So that's 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.560 that's something I'm still been working on every day in 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.720 practice and just trying to perfect that so I can 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.280 just be good with both man coverages his own coverage. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.160 I just want to be all around guy. You mentioned 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.600 looking for messages from your family. Are you still coached 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.320 by your dad, because your dad does that for a 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.960 le coaches corners for a living, doesn't he. Yeah, yeah, No, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.359 my dad helps me a lot, you know. He's always 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.800 you know, even even doing film study through it the 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.200 week to help me out as well. Um, and then 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:36.679 of course on the off season, I do all my 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.120 all my cornerback training with my with my pops. Man, 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.960 I'm just grateful that's that's been really really a big 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.760 deal for me because I see a lot of guys 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.000 who don't have much guidance and they kind of have 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.639 to do it on their own. And I've just been 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.119 super blessed that I didn't have to go out and 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.359 do it on my own, because who knows what I 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.359 would have been doing. He's he's helped me so much, so, Marco. 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.679 When you talk about a zone, man, of course, you 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.160 know you've got covered too, or roll up corner, you've 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.920 got three deep, You've got the for zones that are 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:08.720 out there. Is there one that you prefer? Not really, honestly, 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.920 I think I think they're all pretty good coverages. The 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.440 zone coverage to make plays you could you can always 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.240 make different type of plays and different type of coverage, 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.359 So I don't really prefer one or the other because 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.080 they all give me a different spice. You know that 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.240 I'm that I'm cool with, you know, seeing what I 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.200 could do. All right, So here's your defensive coordinator, advanced 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.440 Joseph Earlier. Today. Cardinals get to win on Thursday night. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.760 Everyone's feeling pretty good. They come into the meeting room 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.600 Friday morning and well, we'll let the defensive coordinator take 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.359 it from there. Last Thursday to make those three big plays, 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.160 that was fun to watch. But they give up those 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.480 three big plays that we gave up that lad to 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.440 seventeen points. We don't like that. Those three plays were 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.959 the biggest place we've had all year. I mean, sixty 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.520 plus forty plus fifty plus. That's not good defense. You know. 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.560 In Friday, Friday morning, we had a spirited meeting. They 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.879 were a little shocked, you know, of my attitude on 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.800 Friday morning. But the standard did dip. That's got to stop. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.280 Well later he said, we speak the truth. Is that accurate. 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.520 It's very accurate, very accurate. And then I wouldn't wander 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.440 any other way. Honestly. He might have said, people were shocked, 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.080 but I wasn't shocked, honestly, especially because I was. I 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.760 was one of those guys that gave up them big plays. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.080 So it was cool to have a big play that 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.280 I made and had a good game, but it was 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:18.879 I was for sure thing about that play that I 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.040 gave him, and how I can't. I can't let stuff 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.240 like that happen anymore. So it's understandable. I understand exactly 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.159 why he felt like that felt that way, because you know, 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.760
