0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what they say about life, Ron Wolfley, No,

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>it's all about timing. Big Red beats Big Blue in

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the Big Apple and then gets out of town seventy

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>two hours before the northeaster. L Grande. Let the next

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>guy deal with three feet of snow. You got temperatures

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>in the high fifties and sunshine. You were pretty happy, bowing,

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>very very happy. Now let's see, you need another win.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>It is December. You need to keep your playoff spot.

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>You're currently in the playoff picture, you have a wildcard.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>You know what, um timing, take another game against the

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>NFC East, please, because he've already had three wins against

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the NFC East by a combined ninety four to thirty

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>two timing. And this game is against a rookie quarterback

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>not making his first but his second start. And why

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>is that critical, Ron Wolfleet, Because now you have sixty

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>minutes a game film that his first opponent, the New

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Saints, did not have, and you think that might

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit of an advantage. And all while

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>we're at it, Philadelphia's offensive line is fielding it's thirteenth

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>combination in fourteen games. Are banged up yet again along

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>that offensive line, and you're coming off a game with

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>eight sacks. How about that for timing? As we say,

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>welcome into the Big Red Race presented by santan Ford.

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>My goodness, Folly, I'm telling you right now, I am

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>thoroughly in bress with that. I did not know that.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Are you telling me? Thirteen? What is it? Thirteen different

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 1>combinations of offensive line in the last fourteen games, so

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 1>many injuries, it's only an hour show. I don't think

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>we could even get into it's beyond shuffling the deck.

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>The only guy who's the constant is there, three time

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>All Pro center Jason Kelsey, and everything has been a

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>turnstyle around him in more ways than one. Baldens in

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>terms of the ability of guys to get to their quarterback.

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Although look they had zero sacks giving up in this

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>last game. Saints na get to Jalen Hurst. But just

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>everything the way it's unfolding. Well, if you need a

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>few breaks, you need to get rolling, and hopefully what

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you saw in New York continues has stain power and

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.119
<v Speaker 1>shelf life here as December continues with three more games. Yeah,

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt about it. Paul boy, it's an amazing thing.

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I did not know their offensive line was that bad.

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I know they were a mess in terms of injury

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and different guys playing, but not to that degree, because

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that really is problematic right there. Now again, you bring

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>up a good point last week with Jalen Hurts as

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 1>their quarterback, and it really does change their offense an

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>awful lot. Paulli to have Jalen Hurts at quarterback as

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>opposed to Carson Wentz. Right now, Carson Wentz, boy, the

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>guy was in a funk. He really was. You watch

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Himnte Paul, and he was holding the ball. He was

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>holding the ball. He was holding the ball. And one

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons why he was holding the ball is

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>because when he was making a decision to throw the ball,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>many times he was throwing it to the wrong color.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Many times he was throwing it to the defense. So

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a situation right now where there's not a lot

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>of confidence on that offense, but there is hope because

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts is bringing hope to this football team. You

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>could see it last week against the Saints. The kid

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>went out, made a couple of plays and it really

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>rallied that Eagles defense. It was almost addition by subtraction.

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Just getting rid of Carson Wentz and the turnover machine

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>he was leading the NFL obviously gave them a much

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>much better chance to win. But then, like Pat p

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>said this week, you know he didn't have many dropbacks

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>at all. Jalen hurd scene. They attacked the Saints with

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>rollouts and bootlegs, and Pat Pe liking it to what

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the Rams did against the Cardinals with Jared Goff a

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago. Yeah, so we know how challenging

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.919
<v Speaker 1>that was, obviously, and you still have the Rams on

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>your schedule at the end of the season. Dan Arnold

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>is going to join us tonight on the Big Red Rage.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>We're all presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We are

0:04:52.720 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Santan for just getting rolling on the Big Red Rage.

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Three step drop in troubles Jones and he fumbles the

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>balls hooked down. When he recovers it, Hassan Reddick with

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the sack and the script shortan set pressure coming. Jones

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>is sacked by Hassan Reddick. Yeah, Hassan Reddick coming off

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the dsreder Jones back to throw hidden sacked inside the

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>five yard line. He fumbled the ball. It's recovered by

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the Giants. Reddick and Golden were both back there again.

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Pressure coming and guess who's got him. Hassan Reddick with

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>his fourth sack. Oh my goodness, he did it again

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to the boy back to throw, pressure coming, sack by

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Reddick and he forced the fumble. That's his fifth sack

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of the day. Man. Hassan Reddick has owned the new

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>York Giants here today just a single game all time

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals team record for sacks in a game, five sacks,

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>breaking the previous mark four and a half by Curtis

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Career nineteen eight three. Hassan Reddick your NFC Defensive Player

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Week, and as we say, welcome back into

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the Big Red Rage, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.159
<v Speaker 1>dan Arnold, our special guest. He'll be on deck here momentarily.

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Ron Wilfley, what was that like? Even Dave Fash calling

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that game, it must have been surreal to agree. He

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>came in with five sacks and he left with five

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>sacks in the game for a total at ten. Yeah,

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt about it. That was an incredible performance

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>by Hassan Reddick. And what was so incredible about it, Paul,

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>He was just the fact that go back and look

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>at it. It wasn't like there were a bunch of

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>covered sacks. There were not. He made a move, he

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>beat his man and he made a play that to

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>me is incredible when you consider the fact he had

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>five of those. You know, I'm gonna bull rush you,

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm bulling the tackle and then I'm coming off and

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>making the sack or I'm going I'm gonna get the edge.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>That's what he did. He got the edge, the arm

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>under came around the corner, got the sack. He beat

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>his man and got the sack. It wasn't like they

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>were covered. Sack so impressive. In a gross simplification of

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the truth, the defense won a game for the Arizona Cardinals. Paul,

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>think about it. The Cardinals are the first team since

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety eight to have eight sacks and five forced

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>fumbles in a game. His son Reddick had three force fumbles.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know, speaking of the ball out there, and

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you know for the taking. After the game, he had

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>coach Cliff Kingsbury and here he is in the locker

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>room and we haven't heard this yet. He was giving

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>out game balls, including one to Marcus Golden. It was

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>it was off camera before the cameras rolling. Of course,

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Golden got everything started. The former Giant wit. He

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>had the strip, sack and the fumble recovery. He took

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>it inside the ten on the first possession of the

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>game and then from there he we know where the

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>next one was going. It was an absolute to his

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>son Reddick. Here's coach, five sacks and New Air's gonna

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals club records all right, nine catches for one thirty

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>six man Mike Nugent steps in and went four for

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>four and two the last one. The whole defensive staff

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and defense. That's how you said the whole name about that.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>That's it, man, that's the locker room of a team.

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's that smells like momentum right there,

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and a team that's starting to get it together in December.

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 1>You tell me ten years in the NFL locker room,

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>what's the vibe there. Yeah, there's no doubt about it, Pauli.

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 1>You could hear it right all three phases too. That's

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>what I liked. He gave out game balls to all

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>three phases, defense, offense, and special teams, and the coaching

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>staff throw that in right there. Just a huge win

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>for this team, especially Pauli. When you consider how it

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was trending going into this game, you know, you think

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>about it the Giants, Paul they had won four in

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a row. Yep, they had one of the hottest defense

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>fences on the planet. As a matter of fact, over

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the three weeks prior to playing the Arizona Cardinals. They

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>had the best defensive quarterback rating in the league. Now,

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I know you could sit there and say, well, you

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>know what, they played Carson Wentz and the Eagles, and

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>they played the Cincinnati Bengals without Joe Burrow of course

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>at quarterback, but they also had Russell Wilson in those

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>three games, and they shut down Russell Wilson in the

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Seattle Seahawks. The Giants were trending up and the Cardinals

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>were trending down, having lost four of five, including three

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in a row. So to me, the fact they drew

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a line in the metaphorical sand and said, no, this

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 1>is not going to continue. We're going to go on

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the road on the East Coast, play an early game,

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 1>go out there and ball out. And they did, and

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>they won the game. One hundred and fifty nine total

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>yards for the Giants. Oh think about that. You know

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>against Seattle they ran for a buck ninety and so

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals sent them to seventy eight rush yards. On

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>third down they were just three to twelve. Cardinal's dominated

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>time possession thirty eight twenty two. And then after the game,

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 1>remember what Kyler Murray said, quote, there's still a lot

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>out there yeah, and I think we're still waiting for that.

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>The defense balled out obviously and they got the game balls.

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But on offense, Wolf, We're still waiting for that complete game,

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that breakout game, aren't we? Yeah, we are, Polly. But

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I loved what I saw. I absolutely loved what I

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.440
<v Speaker 1>saw last week. There was an expansion of the football universe.

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And you know what I'm talking about, Polly, Right, They're

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>just taking Kyler Murray and sticking them under center. Double

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>digit snaps under center. We have not seen that ball.

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>To my recollection, we have not seen anything close to that.

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Double digit snaps of Kyler Murray under center. That to

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.079
<v Speaker 1>me was huge. It had a positive impact on the game.

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.720
<v Speaker 1>They converted some third downs. As a matter of fact,

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>what Kyler Murray under centered third downs that were important

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.839
<v Speaker 1>using plays play action, I should say to move the chain.

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember a third and two as a matter of fact,

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>where there was a play action fake and then Kyler

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Murray pulled up in the pocket a little deep set

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket, a seven step drop, and then hit

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins on a drag on a third and two

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>against zone cover. That moved the chains. They got points

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>out of that possession and then of course to Max

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Williams down near the goal line a critical third and three.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>They used play action and a rollout for Kyler Murray

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>off of that play action and hit Max Williams and

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 1>the flat paul I mean, this is stuff that is

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>an expansion of the football universe. And they also put

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 1>him in pistol shotgun. They had twenty one personnel in

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the shotgun, two backs, one on either side of Kyler Murray,

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>with a tight ended two wide receivers. We saw stuff

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>that was just different from the Cardinals, and I love

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that make the defense worry about all of it, Paulieu.

0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>And for all that dominance in the first half, it

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>was still a six nothing game midway through the second quarter,

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and a real turning point in the game was third

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and goal of the seven and Kylo is getting pressured

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>right up the middle and boom, he's on a back

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>pedal and he's got one choice, and he followed the

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>advice of our next guest, went in out, just throw

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>it on I'm six six, I don't care if there's

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>four dvs around me. Throw it where only I can

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 1>get it. And that's exactly what Dan Arnold did and

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna join us next. He has four touchdowns in

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>his last four games. And our very special guests when

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>we come back on the big Red Rage presented by

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Santan Forard in Gilbert third and goal on the seven.

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.079
<v Speaker 1>Three receivers right, Hopkins in one on one coverage wide

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to the left, snapped to Murray backing up in trouble,

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>throws it back of the end zone. Arnold jumps up

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 1>into the air and catches it for a touchdown. There

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.959
<v Speaker 1>are four Giants in the area. It looked like Murray

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>might be just throwing that ball away, but Arnold up

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 1>into the air, wrapped it for a tuckdown. When picks

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>fly Baby throve the pig into the air against the

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>blitz by the Giants. Dan Arnold in the back of

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the head zone and Kyler Murray just flicked the pig

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>into the air and it flew and came down in

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the arms of Dan Arnold. Third and goal of the seven.

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>It made it a thirteen nothing game. Cardinals on their

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>way to a big win in New York in the

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Big Apple. And there I was Ron Wilfully sitting in

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that empty stadium, and when I saw that play, I

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.439
<v Speaker 1>thought of the anecdotal information. The first mention of Dan

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Arnold we got late last season because we started hearing, hey,

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what, the Cardinals have picked up this tight end.

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>He's six six, he's from the Saints, and he's just

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>moss and people in practice, and I'm thinking, Wow, that's

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>what they're talking about right there. That was the first

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.839
<v Speaker 1>impression that Dan Arnold must have made on Cliff Kingsbury

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and the staff, and it came to fruition again against

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the Giants, and now he joins us here on the

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Dan.

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing the sevening? I'm doing pretty well.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.719
<v Speaker 1>How are you guys? We're doing good. Danny, really appreciate

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>your time. Man. Take us through that touchdown against the Giants. Man,

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>how did you feel, big guy? Yeah, it was pretty

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>exciting playing in the last It was just, you know,

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I got one of those kind of scene back Red

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Jim scenes in the back and Kyler is able to

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>put it up there, and you know, it's just one

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of those things kind of playing basketball. Just go up

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and get it, make sure nobody else can touch it.

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Were you the primary read on that? How did that

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>break down or was that more Kyler saying, oh man,

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>here comes the double barrel blitz up the middle. I

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta get rid of this. Um. You know, it's it's

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny because sometimes you talk about primary reads

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and stuff on place. I actually like with Kyler, He've

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>got trust and I think all the receivers around that

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>are on the team, and you can be a primary

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>read in any given look. So you just gotta be

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 1>ready to be able to make a play for him,

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know that's kind of happen. So Danny talked

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>to us a little bit about twenty twenty and how

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you think the season has gone for you personally. Yeah, um,

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I said, it's it's it's been kind of

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>ups and downs for me personally, just kind of you know,

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>when I was at the Saints, I was kind of

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>bumping up on practice squad and you know, I'd never

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>really consistently played in games. So this year has definitely

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>been a challenge just for you know, going through playing

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>all the games and getting you know, a consistent amount

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of snaps. So it's been a challenge just you know,

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>just trying to figure that out and you know, stepping

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>up in the next role that that I knew that

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be in. So um yeah, I mean

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>as I played it, you can't you can't really knock

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it for having a couple of touchdowns the last couple

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 1>of games, and that's been pretty exciting. So it's it's

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>glad to finally see some of that hard work really

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of jumping to where you want to be. And

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you're downplaying that a little bit. It's all about you,

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Dan Arnold, presented by satan Ford and Gilbert. That's four

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in the last four games, including those two against

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the Rams. Has something changed here recently? You tell me?

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, uh, you know, something changed with your role,

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>your snaps, your targets. What does a vault here late

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>in the season. Um, No, I don't think it was

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>really anything changed. I think we've you know, it's been

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of the the get go from from the start,

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know what I've been doing, and it

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 1>just you know, it's happened to finally hit pater in

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>these last couple of weeks, and you know, being able

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to make those plays I think is something that's only

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>going to you know, help lose my confidence and get

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>me ready for more that's going to come. Hey, Dan,

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>where is this offense right now? As you look at

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 1>this offense and you critique the offense and the entire year,

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>where is it right now and where do you see

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>it going? Yeah? I think I think we have a

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of rooms for growth. You know. I think just

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 1>having you know, new faces like the hop added this year,

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.919
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just trying to figure out how's the

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>best we can put each of these different players and

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, their best position to be successful. And I think,

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, any Cliff came in last year, you know,

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and so it's only a second year, there's always going

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to be room for growth. And I think that's kind

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of been the m for this entire seasons. Then you know,

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>we're doing we're doing some really good things. We're doing

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.879
<v Speaker 1>some awesome things. But you know the thing that I

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.119
<v Speaker 1>really like about Cliff is that he's never satisfied and

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>he always wants to he always wants to be pushing

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.959
<v Speaker 1>the bombers even more and getting the most out of

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody and being able to, you know, have success for everybody.

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think, you know it's gonna come. It's gonna come.

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>We're just we're just tapping into our potential right now.

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>I think your role in this offense. Obviously in the

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 1>red zone you're a big weapon. But we also saw

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:01.399
<v Speaker 1>that fifty nine yard opening possess and catch in touchdown.

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>It was the longest by Cardinals tight end since Jackie Smith,

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.639
<v Speaker 1>who was sixty eight yards against Dallas in nineteen seventy two.

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Jackie Smith Hall of Famer Jackie Smith

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>initials h O up on that one. When you're at

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 1>your best, how are you being utilized in this offense?

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you think? Because they think a lot of people

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 1>think ten personnel and four receivers and they tend to

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 1>think maybe tight end as an afterthought. But you've proved

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that otherwise the last month or so. Yeah, I think,

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, just the things that I know that I

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.400
<v Speaker 1>bring to the table. You know, it's just a guy

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.920
<v Speaker 1>who can who can get out and run um and

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.120
<v Speaker 1>do it pretty well, but also be a big frame somewhere.

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, Kyla can kind of put the ball anywhere

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in some space and I'm going to be able to

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 1>find it and make the catch. Um. Just one of

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 1>those things that kind of you know, we look we

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.000
<v Speaker 1>looked for mismatches, whether it would be against a linebacker

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.119
<v Speaker 1>that's necessarily not going to be able to keep up

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>this under the speed, or a dB who I'm just

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>going to have a little bit more length to be

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 1>able to attack the balls. So I think, you know,

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>just just being able to get out in space, being

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>able to run, that's kind of kind of always been

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>my forte and and you know, I think that's that's

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>just gonna come more. And Wolf here was Kyler after

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the game, and uh, you know, he was sort of

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 1>building on what Dan just told us and what his

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>philosophy is. When he sees big Dan Arnold, it's six

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.879
<v Speaker 1>foot six Kyler. I mean he says it all the time,

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>but the fact that I see him do it adds confidence. Um,

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I just try to give him a chance foot to world.

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>He can get it. He's super athletic, fast jumps, high,

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.600
<v Speaker 1>got great hands. So I was just trying to give

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 1>him a chance to make a play. And when you

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 1>say get out and run, you ran track at Division

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 1>three Wisconsin Plattfill, didn't you? Because we googled you up

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.440
<v Speaker 1>and are you the Dan Arnold who finished first and

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and ten hurdles in one meet and then

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>also through the javelin like one hundred and sixty feet?

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Is that you that, Dan Arnold? Yeah? Yeah I did.

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I had some glory Davis back right check. I mean

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll think about that. That gives you some serious credit

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room. That means you could have survived

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>on the walls of thermobili ball. So I mean, let

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>me let me just say this daddy right here. Um,

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 1>what's it like to you to play with Kyler Murray? Yeah,

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>obviously you've got to build a chemistry and a trust

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>with your quarterback. But what's it like for you personally

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to play with Kyler? Yeah? Um, I think it's it's

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of inspiring, to be honest sometimes because a player

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>like Kyler just brings such a crazy dynamic to the game,

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>especially the quarterback position. Um. And I think so many

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>times it's just the coolest thing to just sit and

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 1>sit back and watch and be like, oh, he's just

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 1>making plays lesson right, whether it be throwing the ball

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 1>or um, you know, putting it on a dime to receivers,

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 1>or he's just you know making plays with the speed.

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Being able to kind of be a part of that

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>is than pretty special. But I think the thing that

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm most excited for for him is just to see

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.680
<v Speaker 1>where that's going to take him in the next couple

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.919
<v Speaker 1>of years, because the kids just getting started, you know,

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's that's where your brain is like, Wow,

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 1>this this is going to be crazy to see, you

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Yes, Dan, Where could a guy

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>like me get a javelin? If I brought a jablin

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.440
<v Speaker 1>out to practice with a camera crew for the Cardinals?

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Could we get forget the throwing a football around the field.

0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Could we get you to throw a jablin once everybody

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 1>leaves the field, you're the only guy out there. Would

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you do that for him? Um? Yeah, I mean I

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>don't see jab A couple of times I was, I

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>was a big hurdler. Um, But yeah, it's it's kind

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.120
<v Speaker 1>of similar to throwing a football, but you just you're

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>stopping all of your body weight and momentum all at

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 1>one time and trying to create a snap. So it's

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 1>actually pretty pretty taxing on the body, and a lot

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of guys in pretty pretty banged up from it. Maybe

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll wait till after a playoff front Wolf, you know,

0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.959
<v Speaker 1>and can you make that happen? Wolf? That would be

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 1>prudent thing. Paul. Yeah, get we don't need to be coach.

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>We're doing with the javelin. But you can get over

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a sporting goods store. You work on that. Wolf asked

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 1>for a javelin from Santa for Christmas, and then we'll

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 1>make that happen. Okay, yeah, right, Polly. Wherever we continue

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>with Dan Arnold in the big Red Rage presented by

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>satan Ford in Gilbert dropped back to throw pumps lapnow

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 1>fires over the middle. It is caught for a touchdown

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>by Dan Arnold, pressure at his feet, backing up in

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:31.399
<v Speaker 1>trouble launches it over the middle, and it's cut by

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Arnold for a first down near midfield. Mury steps up,

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>fires far aside. It's caught wide open Arnold at the twenty,

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 1>running right to the fifteen of the ten. Now Murray

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>throws deep right Arnold with a beautiful catch in Washington

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Territory blay action pass setting up is Murray look indeed

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.120
<v Speaker 1>firing middle of the field, wide open to the thirty

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.639
<v Speaker 1>yard line. It's caught. Dan Arnold is the twenty to

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 1>ten touchdown. Snap to Murray, backing up in trouble, throws

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 1>it back in the end zone. Parkold jumps up into

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.919
<v Speaker 1>the air and catches it for a touchdown. About that

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>for twenty twenty montage Dan Arnold highlight reel off the

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Arizona Cardinals Radio Network Voice of the Cardinals Day Pass

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.399
<v Speaker 1>analyst Ron Wolfe Yours truly, Paul kelvc here on the

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert, Now,

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:18.159
<v Speaker 1>wolf would you say Kyler Murray has targets at his disposal?

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Because there's this stat that came out earlier this afternoon.

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you saw this. Deontay Johnson, the

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Steelers young receiver who's a talented guy, you know, but

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 1>he's had a tough year. He has twelve drops this

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>year as a receiver. The Arizona Cardinals as a team

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:36.679
<v Speaker 1>have ten. So there are some sure hands on this team,

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>whether you're talking about d hop, whether you're talking about fits. Obviously,

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>right we're talking to Dan Arnold, and you know, Dan,

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you tell us because when Kyler says after that Giants game,

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 1>we left a lot out there, would you agree with that?

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Is that a sentiment that kind of vibe that kind

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of goes and permeates through the entire office. You guys

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:58.680
<v Speaker 1>are still waiting for that complete breakout game. Yeah, I

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>would agree with that, um kind of how I was

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 1>speaking Neary and I think, I think it's just it's

0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>going to come. But we just got to put our

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>heads down and support Canon and they'll be there. So Danny,

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting around, you're watching tape, Paul wig Long, you're

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 1>looking at the Philadelphia Eagles. Tell me about the Philadelphia

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Eagles defense. Yeah, Um, they got a pretty tough front. Uh.

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, they like to play their run and they're

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be pretty physical in the box. Um, and you know,

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 1>they got pretty good secondary. They kind of stick to

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:30.959
<v Speaker 1>the rules what they're going to do, and they do

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>it pretty well. Um. I think I think it's just

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be about us this game, to be honest.

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just going to come out with a

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy and played for the capability that we

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>can play at, and I think we're going to success.

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Last week, Cliff Kingsbury told us on his TV show

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Game Plan, he said the Vibe had practice going to

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the Giants game. He since the team was angry. Larry

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Today use the word hungry. How would you describe this

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:58.119
<v Speaker 1>December mentality right now? What you see. How how do

0:24:58.119 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you like the week of practice so far and how

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 1>it's tracked. Yeah, I think we've had a really great

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 1>we could practice, um you know, high energy, which is

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 1>something that I think is really important to us being

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 1>able to start fast. And I would agree with Larry

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that this team is very hungry to be to be

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:20.520
<v Speaker 1>what were capable of. It's like that light at the

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 1>end of the tunnel that we all see, but it's

0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:24.959
<v Speaker 1>just like, gosh, dank, we got to get there. And

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, December is always a big month because you

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.919
<v Speaker 1>only got limited games left, and I think with that mentality,

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you kind of realize that it's either win or go home.

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 1>So I think it'll be pretty interesting to see. Danny,

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:39.719
<v Speaker 1>are you feeling that, I mean, are you sensing that

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room that everyone understands the import of

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 1>this game right now? December football is here. Of course

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 1>you've got three games left. Are you guys actually talking

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 1>about it to each other in the locker room? Yeah? Absolutely,

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody's you know, we've we've kind of come

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 1>together in these past couple of weeks, and I think

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.360
<v Speaker 1>what you saw with is with the Giants was kind

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of the beginning where it was like, hey, let's get

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:08.399
<v Speaker 1>everybody on the same page. And when that happened, we

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 1>got we got to win. And now that we've seen that,

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:13.680
<v Speaker 1>it's only going to help us in the next couple

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 1>of weeks to get to where we want to be.

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>May have taken the words out of Larry's mouth. We'll see.

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 1>He was talking to the media and it was talking

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.639
<v Speaker 1>about December football, and here's what he had to say. Remember,

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals haven't made the playoffs since twenty fifteen. Playing

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>meaningful games in December is always fun. I mean, every

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 1>single one is of the most importance. We have zero

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>margin for error right now, and I think everybody understands

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that there's a great since urgency. I think everybody since

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 1>is it and they understand it. You're going to see

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the pep and guy step that's been different from years past.

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:47.439
<v Speaker 1>We've been out of contention. When you see a Philly

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>team that's number two to the Steelers in overall sacks

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:53.760
<v Speaker 1>forty three and the way they were able to pressure

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Taysom Hill last week, I mean we're talking about a quarterback.

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Was some mobility and that was like the second highest pressure.

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Right The Saints have given up since twenty sixteen, a

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.880
<v Speaker 1>team you know very well as a former Saint. How

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>impressive was that to you what the Eagles did on defense?

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Because everyone's talking about Jail and hurtson rightfully, so, but

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>it's at other side of the ball. They shut down

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that potent Saints offense. Yeah. Like I said, you know,

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>they're they're one of those defenses that just plays physical

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:22.359
<v Speaker 1>and they just what they do, they do right, and

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 1>they try to minimize their mistakes. And um, you know,

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>when you got a defense that's kind of clicking on

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 1>that level, they're definitely going to be a tough adversary. So, Danny,

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:33.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to do one thing to beat that

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Eagles defense, what do you need to do above all else? Um?

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, like I said earlier, I think

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just going to be about us minimizing our mistakes

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 1>what we do, um, not letting drives be delayed because

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of those mistakes. And you know, we live off big plays.

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>It's always been something that we've kind of been able

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to leave lean our shoulder hunt and when guys are

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.720
<v Speaker 1>out there, they got their heads straight and everybody's working

0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 1>together and we can live off those big plays. And

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, the energy just explodes and then

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.679
<v Speaker 1>that's when our offense is truly shining. Speaking of exploding,

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:14.920
<v Speaker 1>is Fletcher Cox still destroying people on the football field?

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Is he still destroying I mean he's seen when I

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:21.160
<v Speaker 1>watched tape that looks like he is. Yeah, he's definitely.

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's still got that year. Um. You know,

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I played him a couple of times in New Orleans

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.959
<v Speaker 1>and it was always it was always a you know,

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:31.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the main speaking points. So it'll be it'll

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to see. You know, a number of guys

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>had talked recently, Chase Edmond, d J. Humphreys, Kelvin Beecham

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>about the adjustment defenses had made to Kyler, in particular

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 1>with these mush rush, five man fronts, zone coverage, all

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>eyes on Kyler. What do you guys do last week?

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like maybe you solve that to a

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>certain degree and now gave defense is a little something

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>extra to think about. Yeah, I think, you know, we

0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>played really great, complimentary football last week, which definitely helped us.

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know, kind of like how I said, when

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>we're making big plays and having all that energy come

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to us, when we get that from the defensive side

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of the ball too, Like you see offensive guys in

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the sideline getting hyped and like ready to go, and

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that only just helps the entire team to get to,

0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, the win. Hey, a reminder of the Cardinals,

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>One of the great parts of Dan Arnold's story, and

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 1>by the way, he did play in the NFC Championship

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Game with the Saints against the La Rams the year

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the Rams went to the Super Bowl against the Patriots,

0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>is that he's a Division three guy from Wisconsin. Plattville. Yeah,

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and you have a memory from Platteville, Yeah, then you

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 1>have no choice. It will come up on next as

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:12.400
<v Speaker 1>we continue here on the Big Red Rag Santan four

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 1>in Gilbert Hardball. What an effort by Dan Arnold adjusting

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to that ball and then laying out for it. Incredible effort. Man.

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>They love this kid when they got him. He is

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 1>out of Wisconsin, Platteville. He was claimed off waivers last

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 1>year from the Saints. I once fought Richard Dent and

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Platteville was guns and lost. Although you told me you

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 1>made him squeal right, Well, I hit him under the chin.

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I hit him under the chin in practice. Then it

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 1>was over and I think one point three seconds I

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>was destroyed. Super Bowl MVP and apparently a pretty good fighter,

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Wolf a ten year career, four Pro Bowls.

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not sure I respect anything more about your

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>playing days and the fact that you actually had the

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>audacity to fight big Richard Den, a guy nicknamed the Colonel.

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 1>You actually thought you had a shot, that's right by

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 1>hit him right under the gin on a wham block

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and Plattville, Wisconsin with the Cleveland Browns practicing with the

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Bears, and he went ye, got him writing into

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the chin right there, and he didn't like it. Ball Well,

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a guy who has much more fond memories of Plattville

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.120
<v Speaker 1>would be the product of Wisconsin Plattville Division three football

0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and track. We're visiting with Dan Arnold here on the

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Big Red Rage. You know what, speaking of physicality and

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:41.479
<v Speaker 1>and and dare I say fisticuffs? You know, how nasty

0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:43.320
<v Speaker 1>does it get when as a tight end? I don't

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 1>know in this offense, how often are you flexed out?

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>How often are you asked to block? And and Dan?

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how often are you just in the middle

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of a scrum at the line of scrimmage? Um? You know,

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I probably not nearly as much in Max, that's for sure. Um,

0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, if he's pretty n see, that was kind

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of my Uh, that's kind of what I learned pretty

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty quickly when I made the transition to tight end.

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:09.560
<v Speaker 1>My Danny, do you enjoy that? I mean, honestly, do

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you enjoy tapping into the primal side? Oh? Yeah, I

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 1>mean I absolutely love, you know, being being in the

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in the scream of it. And uh, you know, I

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>grew up in Wisconsin, so you know, playing tough most

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>football it was kind of what was bred into me.

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:30.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's definitely one of the more enjoyable aspects of football. Fact,

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Cliff tells a story. If I'm not mistaken that you're

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the guy who wears this helmet during walkthrough? Is that accurate? Yeah,

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I would wear my helmet, especially now because we have

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to wear these like these masks at the time during walkthrough.

0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes it's easier to just wear your helmet because

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 1>then put on the mask, you know. You know, Danny,

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 1>we've been talking about the fact that you played football

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and ran track at the University of Wisconsin Platteville. What

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>was your high school career like? Um, So, high school

0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 1>was kind of interesting. I guess I don't know. I

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 1>guess I didn't really hit a growth spirit until later

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 1>in high school. So it's kind of that's like, how sorry,

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I say it again, how late? Um, I didn't grow Shoot,

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I probably hit my girls squit when I was like

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 1>at junior in high school. Really that's kind of why

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really get a whole lot of recruiting. Hm.

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 1>How much did you grow in that junior year? Oh? Gosh,

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I came in at like five eight and

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>then by the end of the year, I was like

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 1>six three. How disappointed were you Dan when you were drafted?

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 1>How disappointed were you? Um? It was kind of one

0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 1>of those things that I definitely start coming. Um but

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I knew that coming from a small school, you're gonna

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>have to work regardless whether you are drafted or not.

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>So um, but I definitely opened up opportunities for me

0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to kind of I went to two rocky mini camps,

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>had childhood both, got sent home from both, and then

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.720
<v Speaker 1>it kind of just from there. It was like, Okay,

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 1>if you really love this thing, then you're they're going

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 1>to do it or you're not. So um, you know,

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the same ending up calling me back after the tryout,

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of weeks later, and I was

0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>be able to have another opportunity. So here's here's the

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 1>good news, Dan that when we googled up notable University

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of Wisconsin Plattville alumni, our Jim one hundred, did a

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>little research and your name boom right there on the

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>short list, along with Todd Schultz, the director of the

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Springer Show. I don't know if you knew that. Um, well,

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:42.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're guy former Cardinals offensive assistant Jeep Christ just

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a Qub's coach, I yeah, nineteen eighty seven. And well,

0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 1>if don't deny that you don't know about this one

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.720
<v Speaker 1>because there's a good item from the Wisconsin Platform Wikipedia page,

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and I quote this city has a large number of taverns,

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:58.359
<v Speaker 1>mainly on Second Street. So well, if don't act like

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.919
<v Speaker 1>you didn't go to those towns, I think that's Jim

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Harbaugh's story actually happened to those taverns back in the day.

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly right, Hardball sitting there where we're late for Turfew,

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 1>and he finally finally left and got us home. The

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:14.880
<v Speaker 1>problem was he drove to his dorm and not our dorm,

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and we had to run three hundred yards across an

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:21.320
<v Speaker 1>open field with no fighting. Talk about running too the darkness.

0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me started on that, Paul, are you kidding me?

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>These memories? Are sorry about that that you had to

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 1>endure that right here, Dan, but talked to me a

0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:33.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit about when you didn't get drafted and you

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>came in. Has your NFL career gone the way you

0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:41.280
<v Speaker 1>thought it would go? Cool? That's that's a tough question.

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I would say my NFL career has gone exactly how

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 1>it should have gone. And I, you know, I came

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:51.200
<v Speaker 1>into this thing, I didn't have anybody to talk to.

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:53.560
<v Speaker 1>You didn't really know anybody that had played in the league.

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:55.920
<v Speaker 1>So I kind of was like, I don't even know

0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>what to expect, to be honest, but I think everything

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that has happened and which for a reason, and it's

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:07.399
<v Speaker 1>prepared me for everything that's going to come next. Well,

0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.400
<v Speaker 1>speaking of next, your head coach was asked about your potential.

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Here's Cliff Kingsbury. He's had a unique road to the

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 1>tight end position and he's still learning the ins and out,

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the strength to get down on the D line and

0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:20.080
<v Speaker 1>be able to hold your own with the D lineman

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and then be able to run you know, routes that

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:24.759
<v Speaker 1>you can set up around cornerbacks like the Kelsey's and

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the Kittles and the Grons. He has a work ethic

0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 1>for it. I know he wants it, and I wouldn't

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>put anything past him. What's your confidence that you're on

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the ascension and there's still a lot of potential to

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 1>be developed in your game? Yeah, you know, obviously in

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the run game, there's always going to be stuff that

0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like, hey, we need to get better with this.

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:49.239
<v Speaker 1>But I'm confident that I, you know, I'm gonna work

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:52.319
<v Speaker 1>my tail off just because that's how I when I

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.759
<v Speaker 1>came in the league day one. That's just the mentality

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that I had to be in order to get where

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to go. So it's never going to be

0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 1>something that I'm going to be satisfied with. And I'm

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 1>just kind of one of those people that's that's going

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:07.439
<v Speaker 1>to put their nose down and and grind and sup

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:10.360
<v Speaker 1>working until you know, you you see the results that

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to see and whether it be realistic or not,

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 1>it's just that's that's what I want to do. Having

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:19.800
<v Speaker 1>said that, Danny, I mean, you're you're twenty five years old.

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Where do you see your career at thirty? When you're

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:25.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty years old? Where do you think you're going to

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:30.080
<v Speaker 1>be in regard to playing time, starter, backup, still playing

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the game of foot? Where do you see yourself at thirty? Uh? Yeah,

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean obviously, you know, with with luck and and

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:41.320
<v Speaker 1>some good things going my way, I'm still going to

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:45.000
<v Speaker 1>be playing, you know in five years. Um, but I

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just I just want to be I

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:49.840
<v Speaker 1>see myself becoming a football player that I want to

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:51.920
<v Speaker 1>be at tight end that's going to be more rounded,

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that can you know, be playing on every down and um,

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:58.359
<v Speaker 1>someone who can contribute a lot to the run game,

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.480
<v Speaker 1>but also contribute to the past and just being a

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 1>complete tight end. That's kind of where I want to.

0:38:04.719 --> 0:38:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Where I want to get to, where the coach isn't

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:09.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like, hey, we got to pull them off

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the field and let somebody else and because you can't

0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>do that. That's kind of been one of my things.

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't like when people tell me I can't do something,

0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:21.520
<v Speaker 1>because my immediate reaction is like, Okay, well I'm going

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to prove you're wrong. That's awesome, man. You know, I

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:27.920
<v Speaker 1>take a lot of rising ribbing and insults quite frankly

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 1>from Ron Wolfley, and that's what he used to do

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 1>in his days. He sit in the training room and

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:34.560
<v Speaker 1>he'd lob insults and Dan I couldn't help. But notice

0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 1>after the game you were given one of your teammates

0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a hard time for what you said looked like a

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 1>pencil case hanging off his backpack from fifth grade. And

0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just wondering, you know, are you a guy who's

0:38:43.120 --> 0:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>more app to kind of give than receive. Are usually

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:48.600
<v Speaker 1>on the offensive, you know when it comes to some

0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 1>of that locker room banner. Yeah, I think that's tight end.

0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Group that we have is a pretty close knit group.

0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:58.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think you kind of always got to be

0:38:58.440 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>on your defensive and be ready to make some shots

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:03.839
<v Speaker 1>if you need to, just to keep everybody at bay, um,

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:06.560
<v Speaker 1>just because it's always flying around with us. And I

0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 1>think this team too, we're pretty good at, you know,

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.480
<v Speaker 1>keeping it loose, but also being you know, able to

0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:14.919
<v Speaker 1>concentrate and get get done what we need to get done.

0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's this team is a is an awesome

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:20.279
<v Speaker 1>group and it's a pretty unique group, that's for sure.

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of keeping everybody at bay, are you good at

0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:28.719
<v Speaker 1>social distancing day? Ye? Any good at this? Um? Yeah?

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:31.239
<v Speaker 1>My wife likes to, uh, she has to get on

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:33.120
<v Speaker 1>me once you think I'm stepping a little bit out

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:37.359
<v Speaker 1>of bound um. But yeah, this year has been it's

0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 1>been an adjustment for me, especially because I like to

0:39:40.560 --> 0:39:44.919
<v Speaker 1>just be around people and you know, having having conversations

0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:47.680
<v Speaker 1>with people and having people over and stuff like that.

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:50.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's it's been. It's been a challenge for me,

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. Well, there you go. That's why it's

0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 1>good in traffic. Well, that's why there were four dvs

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:56.919
<v Speaker 1>in the end zone in New York and boom, there's

0:39:56.960 --> 0:39:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Dan Arnold. He's been in traffic. He doesn't mind the crowd.

0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I am glad you are here, man. I thank you

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:04.719
<v Speaker 1>so much for joining us and spending some time with us.

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate your brother flaws there. I appreciate being here. You go. Okay,

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:12.959
<v Speaker 1>there you go, Dan Arnold. What a great way we'll

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.920
<v Speaker 1>wrap up the big Red rage next. All brought to

0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:23.359
<v Speaker 1>you by Santan Ford in Gilbert. This could be the game.

0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Fourth down in one handoff height tower, running right and

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:28.399
<v Speaker 1>get to the outside and he's got the first own

0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:30.719
<v Speaker 1>of the forty five and pushed out of bounds. Rose

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a slant of fits caught at the thirty inside of

0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the twenty five and down of the twenty three. It's

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a game of about eighteen. In the first down for

0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals. Surry Fitzgerald is literally trying to will this

0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:43.960
<v Speaker 1>team to victory. Right now, humps right those back to

0:40:44.000 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the left heights. Awer caught at the ten cuts left

0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:49.840
<v Speaker 1>of the five height tower to the goal line. Down

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals. Great take the leave, but two fifty three

0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:56.839
<v Speaker 1>to go pick up by docket Ducket inside the ten

0:40:57.080 --> 0:41:01.040
<v Speaker 1>shits it. The Cardinals de shot the world. Right, true,

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:09.399
<v Speaker 1>They're going to Super Bowl. How do you not still

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:13.839
<v Speaker 1>get chills up and down your spine. I'm instantly transported.

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:18.759
<v Speaker 1>That's the loudest I've ever heard State Farm Stadium. Far, none,

0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:24.359
<v Speaker 1>no other game. That confetti coming down. Literally, long time

0:41:24.440 --> 0:41:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals fans, grown men and women, brought to tears in

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the front row of the stands. That I remember that visual,

0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:34.640
<v Speaker 1>just the snapshots mister b hoisting the trophy, you know,

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the exhilaration. And it's a series that goes back to

0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 1>nineteen thirty five Eagles and Cardinals one eighteenth meeting Wolf.

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:47.080
<v Speaker 1>You used to play against him twice a year back

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:49.759
<v Speaker 1>on that cement. That was a veteran stadium, you guys,

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 1>go back there. But here comes an Eagles team and

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:55.120
<v Speaker 1>as the headline screamed in the Philadelphia Inquirer after they

0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 1>snapped that four game skid, hurts so good, Jalen hurts.

0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 1>And it just appears to be a different team. Obviously

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the scheme is different, but it looks like everybody is

0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 1>playing differently, and they're playing behind this rookie quarterback, which

0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you agree with that? Look, yeah, film no, there's no doubt.

0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Polly and again You've heard me say this for so long,

0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:19.320
<v Speaker 1>but offensive football provides hope to a football team. Hope.

0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:21.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, you get down in a game, you get

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 1>down two possessions maybe, and yet you believe in your

0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and you believe the offense can actually bring you back.

0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:30.920
<v Speaker 1>And if you go back and look at that Saints

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:34.239
<v Speaker 1>game where the Eagles got a lead in that game, boy,

0:42:34.320 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you could just see the defense starting to rally around

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts and the fact that they actually had a

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.879
<v Speaker 1>lead in a game against the Saints, it provided hope

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:47.759
<v Speaker 1>for a football team. Listen, you know what, honestly I

0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:50.800
<v Speaker 1>think of this game coming up against the Eagles, Polly,

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and all I can think of is protecting Kyler Murray.

0:42:54.120 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 1>You protect the football. If you protect Kyler Murray, you

0:42:57.560 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 1>have to protect him, keep him clean in the pocket.

0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 1>This is the number one team in the NFL and

0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:06.919
<v Speaker 1>sacks per attempt, that being the Philadelphia Eagles. They get

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:10.040
<v Speaker 1>after you, they got a great pass rush, They've got

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of quality defensive lineman guys of course, like

0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Derek Bennett's, Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham. These are guys that

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:21.959
<v Speaker 1>we know their names. They're pros. They do a great job.

0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:25.480
<v Speaker 1>The offensive line in protecting Kyler Murray is job one.

0:43:25.600 --> 0:43:28.680
<v Speaker 1>You protect Kyler Murray, you protect the football, and if

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:31.319
<v Speaker 1>you protect the football, I think the Cardinals should win

0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:34.160
<v Speaker 1>this game. Well, I guess that answers my question. What

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:36.439
<v Speaker 1>scares you most about the Eagles? That's the defensive side

0:43:36.480 --> 0:43:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of the ball. On an offense, you have a Saints

0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>team that hadn't allowed one hundred yard rusher in fifty

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 1>five games. They allowed two. Right, Miles Sanders and Jalen

0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Hurts and Vance Joseph talked about it. Today, You're talking

0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 1>about a quarterback who ran for seven first downs in

0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that game. Yes, that's all got to flip it around, PAULI.

0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you, and this is a question today,

0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Cardinals have Kyler Murray and the defense

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:03.560
<v Speaker 1>is familiar with Kyler Murray, even though the ones don't

0:44:03.560 --> 0:44:05.880
<v Speaker 1>go against the ones in the regular season. How much

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:10.839
<v Speaker 1>does that help the Cardinals? He tasted, right, without a doubt, PAULI. Yeah,

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:13.440
<v Speaker 1>this is the reason why we talked to Cliff Kingfrey.

0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I asked him, are you gonna be in that coach's office.

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:18.759
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be in the defensive coordinator's office just a

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:22.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit more because he can help him with a

0:44:22.680 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 1>dual thread quarterback in an offense that is being run

0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:28.799
<v Speaker 1>like that. I don't know. I would imagine they're gonna

0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:33.919
<v Speaker 1>have extended conversations and have already had those extended conversations

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:37.200
<v Speaker 1>in regard to how to stop Jalen Hurts and the

0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Eagles offense. Well, Sean Payne said after the game, he

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was impressive just watching him. I thought he played with poise,

0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:45.480
<v Speaker 1>made some throws. He was smart, He did a good job.

0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:48.759
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't Carson Wentz. He didn't turn the ball over.

0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Eagles got to win. There's still in contention for the playoffs.

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:54.760
<v Speaker 1>At four eight and one. Cardinals are in the playoffs

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:57.839
