How is your 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.640 rookie season going? I mean, let's go a big picture 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.840 right now when we start talking about it. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:21.880 How do you feel this year has gone? 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:22.679 Man? 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.359 I feel like it's been a lot going on this 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.040 rookie season for me, even starting way back into you know, 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.800 missing rookie mini camp because I had to go graduate. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.760 It's been a whole uphill battle, man. But I think 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.160 I've been been doing a great job with it. I 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.240 have a great support system and I think through the 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.560 highs and the lows, man, I feel like I'm being 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:46.960 pretty resilient through it all. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.240 So Man, I'm grateful you're. 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.400 Learning something about yourself a little bit as well. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:51.720 Right. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.280 Absolutely, it's been highs, has been lows. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.960 I had to take some time and lock myself in 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.480 the mirror for some things, maybe not playing as best 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.760 as I thought I'll be able to be to play 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.920 at at that moment, and uh, you know, getting benched 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.320 and that whole situation. And man, it was just an 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.720 uphill battle, like I said, And I'm continuing to keep on, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.800 you know, fighting and swinging every single day. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.880 So we want to get into that at some point 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.839 in time, a little bit later, maybe. 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.280 In the show, but right now, just the overall, man, 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.680 t You're in the National Football League, Man, I mean 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.200 when did you start dreaming. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.440 About playing in the NFL? What did you start really thinking? 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.280 Man, I could do this, man, since I was a 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.440 little kid. I've been playing football since I was five. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:36.719 Wow. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.040 Since I was playing flag football. I would get the 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.400 football and run into the opposite end zone. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:42.880 Like I was. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:44.320 You were commercial. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.160 Yes, I was literally been playing this game since I 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.719 was a little boy, man, And you know, I've never 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.040 missed a season since I was five years old, so 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.320 that says a lot as well. So yeah, yeah, so 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.320 I just you know, I had I had a goal set. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.520 A lot of people say, man, you you gotta have 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.440 a Plan B. I really didn't focus much on the 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.480 Plan B. I just focused on Plan A, and that 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.840 was making it to the NFL. And I'm here now 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.279 and every day. Even in the LA game last week, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.400 I was just lining up and I'm like, man, like, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.680 I'm really in the NFL right now, and it's it's 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:17.920 it's a surreal feeling. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:18.280 It is. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.640 I know that rookie feeling. I know that. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.840 So the fact you didn't want to miss graduation Louisville, 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.400 what does that say? Because we didn't even know you yet, 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.760 and that was our first impression. We're like, that's a 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.200 heck of a first impression. That graduation was meaningful enough 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.360 to you that you're like, you asked coach for permission 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:36.480 to attend right right. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.960 So before I even got drafted, me and JG had 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.279 a conversation and I was letting them know, like, man, 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.720 like rookie Minnie camp Is around the time of graduation, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.960 like coach, I don't. I don't know if I'm gonna 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.080 be able to make it to rookie Minnie camp. And 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.159 he was like, man, it's okay, Like dude, go graduate, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.240 Like do what you gotta do. We're gonna be here. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.840 Just come ready to work. And right right during that 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.040 during that time period when he told me that, I 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.000 knew that this was the place that I needed to 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.560 be because a lot of clubs they probably won't respect 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.480 that as much, you know, so I appreciated that for them, 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.560 and you know, just keeping it real with me and 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:15.240 letting me do that. 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.960 So key trout, what was that like graduating? Like what 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.040 I mean, did you walk? Did you do the whole thing? 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.600 Yeah, so I am. I'm in a fraternity as well. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.840 Uh so, me and two of them, two of my 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.280 other fraternity brothers, we graduated on the same day and 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.840 uh so we have a little frat. 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:33.360 Step that we do. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.839 And as I was walking through the state and walking 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.960 over the stage, you know, I just did my fraternity 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:39.960 step and it was an amazing feeling. 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:40.200 Man. 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.120 I'll say the only feeling that I can compare to 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:47.440 it is probably having having my baby, my first born, 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.239 uh and and getting drafted. It's like it's a feeling 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.080 that you can't really explain, to be honest, and so. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.160 Worthy of an applause right there. I don't know what 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.560 that frat step looked like. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.400 Maybe i'll show y'all one day on the celebration. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.600 I would look forward to that. But we do know 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.480 what your intro looks like based on how you were introduced. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.440 Did you see that wolf you're up in the boot? 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.000 Did you see him pull up all the gymnastics move? 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:12.920 What do you call it? 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:13.080 Bro? 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.560 By the way, man, that's just a backflip, man, easy, easy, 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.600 black flip. I've been doing that since I was little. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.800 Okay, So you came out and you did a back flip. Okay, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.640 because I have to tell you I missed it. I 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.440 saw pictures of it. Yeah, but I missed it right here. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.120 How long have you been able to do that? 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.600 Probably since I was like ten years old up. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.920 So that's this is like, no way, man. I feel 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.520 like a cave man throwing rocks at the moon. I mean, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.720 I think of how you even start doing that. 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.120 If I'm the GM or the coach, I'm like, oh 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.600 my goodness, do you consider that risky to do that? 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:46.440 It is? 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.720 But like I was telling my dad literally today. I 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:50.560 literally told him. 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.920 I said, man, like doing a backflip is kind of 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.200 like second nature, Like it's just something that I can 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:59.440 I can really do like easily. So Nick Ralans he 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.120 told me when he was like, man, I just think 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.680 about it. If you don't land it, I said, Coach, 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:03.400 I'm going to landy. 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:03.840 I probably. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:05.960 Well. 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.560 It reminds me of Marco Wilson last year and the 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.520 pick six against Andy Dalton where he vaulted you know 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.480 he did all that park course stuff when he was 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.040 a kid. Kind of reminded me. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.720 No, that was that was an iconic photo. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.880 Yeah, yeah, but that was up front, right, just vaulted 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.720 in and then yeah, just because he said he just 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.720 launched himself in the mid air, he figured it out. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:27.480 That's Marco. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:28.760 Can you do a front? 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.880 Doing the front flip is not second nature? So I 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.079 probably won't try that one. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.640 Okay, that's really cool. You do anything? Have you ever 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.280 done parkour at all? 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:41.920 Not really? 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.839 I'm well, if if you consider like jumping off of 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.520 slides and playgrounds in the back flips, yeah, I guess 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.040 I did some parcor growing up. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:52.560 That's amazing. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.640 Kids don't try that at home. Please don't please, don't 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.400 thank you. In fact, let's go into the locker room. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:08:58.679 All right. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.640 So look, it was a tough out come against the 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.440 Rams and one of the team captains, Dennis Gardeck, and uh, 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.280 you know what, he had something really meaningful to say 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:08.040 after the game. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:08.760 Here's gard Deck. 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.280 You know, our sports psychologists hit us in the offseason. 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.840 They said there's there's three enemies in any given battle. 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.480 It's first yourself, second the guys around you, and third 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:22.520 the actual opponent. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.280 And we fought all three of those today. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.800 Interesting, now, the guy sitting next to you reminds us 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:29.920 of a Dennis gard Deck. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:30.240 All right. 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.640 So Wolf played ten years, went to four Pro Bowls 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.800 as a special teams assassin. Guard Deck sort of has 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.839 that similar mindset the way he plays, and I saw 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.959 him work on the sideline in the second half. You know, 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.599 some of the veterans said a few things to say, didn't. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.120 They No doubt, no doubt, And guys like guard Deck, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.640 you know he's he's emotional about the game, as he 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.280 should be. Anybody that cares about this game should be 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.679 emotional about it, especially when we're not getting you know, 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.320 the outcome that we worked so hard for every single day. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.800 Uh So, man, hats off to guard At for being 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:07.400 a great captain on his team and pushing guys vice 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.160 younger guys as well to you know, get get this 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.000 leaf turned over. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.280 You know what's so interesting about that, Polly as well? 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.600 Just listening to that last cut that you played three enemies. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.319 I had an old coach who used to say, you 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.439 know what your three enemies are? Me, myself and I. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.240 That's what he used to say right there. And his point, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:33.760 obviously was everything begins and ends with you and how 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.959 you apply yourself everything. And you know, that was something 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.280 that I adopted early on in my professional career. It 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.000 wasn't in college that I learned that. Me myself and I. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.199 It was more about what are you gonna do? You've 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.240 been given X amount of ability. Ron go out and 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.360 you yourself and I go out and do everything you can, 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.760 fulfill all of the potential that you have and apply it. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.559 That That was something that he used to say to 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.640 me all the time, and I got that. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.520 I understand. There are a lot of extenuating circumstances. Are 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.200 you kidding me? There's a there's a human being who's very, 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.400 very talented, who's trying to keep you from doing your job. 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.439 Control right exactly. 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.920 So I mean, yeah, of course you have to worry 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.839 about who your opponent is, and what scheme you're running, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.120 and what your assignment is. You have to worry about 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.200 all of this. But I thought, man, that was really cool. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.760 You know that you would take responsibility just for yourself. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.520 Is this something that you're. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.079 Learning exactly every single day, every single day that I 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.760 wake up, I have to put my right foot for it, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.720 for myself and for my family as well. But as 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.000 far as Gardak was talking, as far as doctor so 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.679 his name is doctor J. So doctor J. He comes 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.960 in and you know, he he leaves and leaves us 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.920 with good, good tools to you know, continue to develop 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.200 our minds and and to be you know, silent assassins 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.840 on the field, as I like to say, because at 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.280 the end of the day, like you said, it's arts 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.840 and nas with you. But we also got to understand 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.000 the elephant in the room is there's still aning me out, 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:06.719 inding me out. 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.680 Yes, at the end of the day too. So man, 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:10.400 that was good. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:10.880 Yes. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.920 And look, it's a new coaching staff, it's a new system. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.679 You know, Kyler Murray for example, right, He's only has 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.400 three games under his spell to full speed football. Running 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.719 this system. It's very different, including the footwork. And he 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.959 was talking this week just about some of the growing 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.720 pains learning Like you were talking about Key Troll, here's Kyler. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:29.400 We got to break old habits. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:29.920 We have to. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.560 You know, we're learning as the weeks go on, trying 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.480 to execute as the highest level as we possibly can. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.679 And I think that's part of being in a you know, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:37.319 a new system. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.160 I haven't been in very many new systems, but. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.640 You know, being in this one, I don't think that 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.000 we're you know, we've reached our maximum level of you 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.280 know what we're going to be eventually. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.640 How do you think the team has responded this week? 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.840 Man? This week, I feel like we've came ready to play. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.679 I feel like we we had a showing that we 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:59.040 weren't so proud of last week and it left a 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.920 bad taste on our So I think this week, man, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.480 I think everybody is coming to play. We're competing understanding 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.480 that we're not looking. We're present right now where our 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.400 feet are, and we're not worried about. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.920 By weeks or whatever else is to come. 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.880 We got to focus on right now If you think 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.480 about this, if you think about what win really stands for, 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.640 it stands for what's important now, and that's what guys 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.439 are really taking to right now. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.280 What's what's it been like to practice Kyler for more 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.640 than a month now, you know quarterbacks, what's it been like? 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.760 Hey, Kyler is a is a special athlete to be 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.360 able to go out there and do what he does, 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.120 and especially come back from an injury like he did. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:39.920 I had. 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.800 I had a similar injury as well, so I know 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.959 what it took to go through to get to where 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:46.559 he is now. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:46.800 Man. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.640 So he's a special athlete. Like he said, Man, we 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.720 got more hyps to reach in the ceilings forever. 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:54.760 It was his junior year. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.319 You were having a heck of a year and you 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.120 had the knee injury eight games in.

He 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.240 tackled immediately by Key Troll Clark, who has held his 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.160 own in his NFL debut. Deep ball left side, single 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.080 covered receiver there and of knocked away at the last 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.280 second by Key Troll Clark in good cleek. 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.760 Key Troll Clark just kept running in his face. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.000 Jones keeping it only got maybe a yard is easily 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.520 planted by Key troll Clark. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.320 We saw him break up the past. Now he breaks 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:51.560 up Daniel Jones. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.760 I promise you right now, Daniel Jones. We've got a 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.400 mouthful of dirt and the. 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:00.960 Pass is hawk foot hot up bounds is caught incomplete. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.520 Could not get both beat down one on one. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.960 On the outside with Key Troll Clark. He did a 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.040 great job turning around. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:11.480 Pass left side. Skarana caught it, but he's dropped immediately. 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.840 Key Troull Clark with a nice hit. Clark. We haven't 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.680 seen him a lot, but he's back in the starting 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.440 lineup today. And Clark with a great play to force 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:20.640 a punt. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.440 And that's not an easy tackle. That's chronic guy who 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.320 plays fullback as well. Yeah, as a receiver. I mean 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.920 he's a physical dude. Nine tackles a team high total. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.240 And we're gonna get to know Key Troll Clark here 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.920 momentarily as we continue with a big red rage presented 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.160 by Santan Ford in Gilbert. But a great crowd here, 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.760 a trophy and Chandler. Let's hear it everyone. We're out 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.240 on Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson, and in particular, 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.400 how about a red Sea shout out to the airsona 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.320 Cardinals twenty twenty three fan of the Year, Tailgate Troy, 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.840 who's sitting right over there. Let me tell you what 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.640 the name with the name like Tailgate Troy. Wolf's gonna 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.520 stop by and grab a plate.

That's outstanding, no doubt about that. 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.160 So I think it was by the end of Rookie 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.160 Mini Camp Key Trell, and we heard from Michael Wilson 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.520 who who was who was turning a few heads, right, 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.920 turn a few heads, and he gave you props. He 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.600 kind of introduced you to the media and he said, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.080 you know, there's this key troll Clark teammate of mine, 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.840 and he's already has a notebook on me. Yeah, so 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.280 tell us about your notebook and and was that just 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.640 sort of a sort of an introductory thing or is 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.200 that something you're continuing now and plan to continue. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:33.480 Yeah? 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.360 Nah, that's that's something that I do always. I take 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.000 notes on everything. I even have. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.880 I have a whole notebook full of like I still 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.200 have my notebook as far as my college notebook when 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.840 I took notes on every wide receiver before the season 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.600 even started, So wow, Like, yeah, that's kind of that's 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.600 kind of what I do. When I was going against Mike, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.640 I felt like he was getting me a little bit 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.800 more than I like. So I was like, man, I'm 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.640 about to watch some film when this boy. I went 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.320 back and watched this college highlights, Like, I know we 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.040 in practice, but you're not about to case the bothering. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.200 Me too much. Well, that is so cool. You did 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.280 a little personal research right there, right, Okay. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.360 Let it on all of our wide receivers as well. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.119 What do you think is your strength as a corner 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:19.960 right now? I know you're a rookie, and you're still 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.200 making your way. But what do you think right now 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.280 is your strength? 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:28.040 I say, I feel like the physical attributes are there. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.399 Without the physical attributes, you know, I wouldn't be here. 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:32.320 Uh. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.560 I feel like mentally right now, that's my strength of 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:36.920 being able to respond. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:37.719 Uh. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:39.800 In the game, things are always going to go the 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:40.720 way that you want them to go. 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:41.240 Uh. 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.080 Sometimes you gotta you gotta flush things when some bad 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:45.720 things happen. 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:46.320 Uh. 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.879 So I say say, my strong point right now is 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.520 just the mental part of the game. Being able to 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.960 bounce back when things go wrong. 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.000 Sort of reminds me of playing tackle. Like a long 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.600 time host of this show, DJ Humphreys, Right, And DJ 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.960 used to like to say, there'd be sixty snaps in 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:03.560 a game, and I could be a kick of my 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.680 guys butt for fifty nine of him. But he beats 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:07.800 me on one man, just one and he gets through 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.239 the quarterback and that can change the game. And you're 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.160 nodding because you know that's life is a corner. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:12.359 Right. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.119 Yeah, So mentally, how long did it take you to 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.479 get that strength? Because I mean, look at your season, right, 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.080 you started the first four games. Yeah, you played a 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.879 lot of snaps in weeks five and six, and then 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.440 you got zero defensive snaps the next five games. Yet 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.520 you rebounded to start again last week and you led 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:30.440 the team in tackles. 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:30.800 Yeah. 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.760 Is that all part of that mental strength maybe you 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:35.800 formulated and forged as a corner. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.639 Absolutely. I'll tell you one thing. If I didn't have 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:44.000 the mental strength to endure all of the adversity that 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.440 I went through as far especially as far as being 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.879 out for five games and being benched, I wouldn't have 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:51.640 played last week. 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:52.560 You know. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.160 I had to just continue to be me and show 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.520 the character that I know I have at the end 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.520 of the day, knowing that in this game it's a 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.920 production based business. If you're not producing, then you know 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.080 they're gonna find somebody that's that's going to produce a 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.600 little bit more. Man, So I had to really take 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.200 the emotions out of it and really, like I said before, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.360 it looked myself in the mirror mentally. 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:14.120 Yeah. 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.600 No, keep troull I've got to ask you this right here, 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.760 because I heard you earlier talking about this. You said 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.280 it was the best thing that could happen to you. 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.240 Now keep trust Well, please, how what do you mean 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:29.440 by that is the best? 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:30.120 Thing to happen. 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.960 Why man, Because. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.760 If you break it down to say, say a guy 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.200 has came into the NFL and he's never hit that wall, 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.359 never hit a time where you know, he got benched, 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:49.679 or he's always been high that moment where he gets benched, 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.480 or some things may not go his way. He might 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.440 not respond the way that you would think he would 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:56.400 be able to respond. 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:56.880 Right. 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.360 Yes, But being that I was able to go through 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:04.080 that in my rookie year and bounce back from it, 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.720 I feel like that shows a lot about my character. 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.040 Yeah, thoughts, and. 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.639 I just think that it was the best thing that 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.320 happened for me because I grew as a person as 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.280 well more than just a football player. 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.240 Wow, dude, we're. 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.119 Gonna hear from Nick Rowlis here in a moment your 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.240 defensive coordinator, was there something you needed to show Rollis 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.400 and or Jonathan Gannon before you got back in the lineup. 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:28.520 For them? 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.399 I'm not sure what else they needed to see, but 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.720 I know for me, I needed to show consistency because 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.680 I wasn't consistent enough for my liking. So and I 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.080 know if I'm consistent enough for me, then that would 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:40.880 be consistent enough for them, all Right. 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:44.080 Well, here's your decordinator, Nick Rowlis, and your performance against 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:45.080 the Rams last Sunday. 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.080 Oh, it popped off the tables. He tackled really well. 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.920 That's not something you always are looking for with corner play, 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.600 but it just so happened. A lot of balls went 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.280 to the flat on him or he had to screen 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.879 his way, and he tackled extremely well. I thought his 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.240 off technique was good, you know, he was he was 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.239 sticky on some cut splits or they're trying to get 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.800 you off and get some access, and I thought he 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:07.440 was in and out of his brakes really well. So 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.080 he had a good game and you saw it no 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.840 surprise because he was showing that stuff, you know, throughout 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:14.760 practice leading up to that point. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.960 When we were at your locker yesterday, whole scrum of media. 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:19.520 Did I hear you say that you went back and 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.359 studied a lot of your coverages and a lot of 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:23.840 other things, sort of like what you did in rookie 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.720 Minnie camp against Michael Wilson. Did you go back during 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.040 the five games you weren't playing and study earlier in 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:29.480 the season. 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:30.399 Absolutely. 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.560 I feel like if you are a player in this league, 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:39.120 you have to study yourself as well, because your opponent 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.679 is studying you. There's no reason why I should study 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:46.359 a guy in stite. Put all this time into studying 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:50.280 someone else and don't study myself. I have to be 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.560 able to sharpen my tools as well so I can 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.320 be my best self on the field. Things that I 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.520 may not made, things that I thought were a weakness 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.440 strength may have been a weakness. So now if I'm 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:05.119 looking back at the film and a guy may think 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:06.720 he has a one up on me, and I look 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.520 back and I'm like, hmm, oh, okay, Nah, You're not 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.600 gonna beat me at that because I corrected it. Because 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:13.720 I watched myself on tape and watch the things that 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.399 I did wrong and correct them, so you know I 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:17.160 won't do it again. 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.600 So, key Troll, you're telling me you're it sounds like 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.760 you're your harshest critic. You look at yourself and you 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.880 break it down, right. Yeah, that is that is huge, 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.000 right there, Key Troll. Seriously, if you do that, you're 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:34.720 gonna play twelve fourteen years in this league. If you 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.600 keep that mindset of constantly trying to get better and 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.840 then looking at yourself first and saying where can I 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.359 get better? Look, I played ten years in the NFL. 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.440 It shouldn't have been there ten days, but I played 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.000 there ten ten years in the NFL. I can't tell 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.800 you how many guys that I played with who they 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.680 would not look at themselves. They would not do that. 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.120 They didn't want to. They wanted to look at their strengths, 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.880 but not the weaknesses where they need to get better. 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:05.240 To listen to you talk so openly about this process, 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:08.240 but if you mean that you're gonna play twelve years 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:08.960 in this lake. 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.200 Man, thank you. Man I I just it's all a mindset. 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:14.879 As I was telling you before, it comes from just 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.120 gaining wisdom from you know, father figures that have came 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:18.840 into my life. 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:20.639 And I thank them for that. 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.560 As well, because you know, it's not a lot of 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.000 guys I'm and I see you know, it's not a 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.159 lot a lot of guys that kind of have that 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.240 mindset and think the way I do. Not trying to 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:33.920 sound cocky, just being very confident. So man, I see 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:35.879 it all the time. I see guys that, you know, 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.280 try to put the blame on other people instead of 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.760 really looking themselves in the mirror and seeing, okay, they 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.320 may have an assessment on me but let me assess 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.560 myself real quick. Yeah, let's see what they're saying as up. 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.639 If it adds up, then if it doesn't, then. 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.439 Keep me in you me, myself, me myself saying come 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.080 on everything within You're right? Yes, say well look kep T. 0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.399 Clark Brown six rookie as our guest here on the 0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.240 big red race, Presentabody, santan Ford and Gilbert. Yet there 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.880 you were, just beyond halfway pointer or your junior year 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.680 at Louisville. Right, you're bidding to be all a C 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:11.280 C again. In fact you were, but then down you 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.400 went with a knee injury during one of your best 0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:16.960 games at that moment. How scared were you you wouldn't 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:17.960 have an NFL future. 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:22.280 Man, A lot flashed before my eyes when I got 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:26.880 injured on that day. I'll say that was another piece 0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.480 of my life that really was that I had to 0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:34.720 be resilient and face some adversity. I feel like I've 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:38.080 been facing adversity all my life, So man, I just 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:40.760 I just knew that I had to keep on working. 0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:42.160 I knew it wasn't over. 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:45.320 I had teammates that had the same exact injury that 0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.600 I had, and I see them flourishing, So I didn't 0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.720 better not. I knew that the journey would be a 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:53.840 little bit longer to get to the destination that I 0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:56.000 wanted to get to, But I knew I was gonna 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:56.360 get there. 0:24:56.520 --> 0:25:02.080 And I'm here, okay, speaking of here Lothian, Virginia. Yeah, 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:05.560 is that how you say? Yes? Mid Lothian right there? 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:06.280 Man? 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:10.200 It sounds so medieval mid Lothian. How cool is that? 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:11.200 Paul Well? 0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:13.919 I knew you would be attracted. It's outside Richmond, right, 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:15.920 most of us would just say Richmond. But not Wolf 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:19.040 because he reads he reads fourteenth century literature. Okay, so 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.760 he's attracted to the medieval aspect of it. What's what's 0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:24.000 crazy is not only were you in all state dB, 0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:26.800 but you're all state punt returner. And did I see her? 0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.400 Max Preps had you rated as the number two punt 0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:34.440 returner in the country athlete. So do you ever have 0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:36.520 your eyes on maybe we're turning a pun or two 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:38.240 in the NFL? What are you thinking there? 0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:38.680 Man? 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:40.520 I went at the return place in Kyleage. I just 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:43.320 never got my opportunity to uh. But man, you know, 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.720 I'm a ball player. Whatever my number is called to do, 0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:46.879 I'm there to do it. 0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.080 Yeah.

He needs to make that 0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:06.600 Mike Tomlin comment about him his ring tone. I mean, 0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:09.960 that's like the ultimate praise right there.

That is that is 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:21.840 the highest praise of them all. Hey, it's a Big 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.640 Red Rage. Key Trell Clark is our guest here at 0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:27.560 Trophy and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between Price 0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.240 and Dobson. The Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford 0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:33.240 and Gilbert. We are Santan Ford, you tell us what 0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:37.360 Starling Thomas, the other rookie corner a couple of weeks ago, 0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:39.239 just happened to be chopping up with a little bit 0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:42.000 in the locker room, and he said win in doubt. 0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:45.200 He looks at Buddha that he really follows Buddha's lead. 0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.560 How about you, Yeah, I'm the same way, bro man. 0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:51.880 So growing up, you know, when I really started looking 0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:54.440 at the league, man and really paying attention to more 0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:59.120 and more, Buddha was my favorite player. You know, I can, 0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:02.680 I can I really think about a time last year 0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:04.880 we were playing Clemson and I was in my locker 0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.760 with a towel over my head watching his highlights. Bro 0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:13.200 Like it's crazy. So I was literally watching his highlights, 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:15.680 Like I went back to college. I watched his highlights 0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.000 when he was over there in Washington. So I'm watching 0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.960 his college highlights. I'm like getting ready for the game. 0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:24.320 I'm getting pipe hype up hyped up for the game. 0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:27.080 And it's just amazing to just be playing with him. 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:27.239 Now. 0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:32.280 You know what's incredible about Buddha Baker is the impact 0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:37.840 he has on everyone else around him offensively, defensively, in 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.840 transition with special teams. I don't care where it is 0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:44.560 right now, Buddha Baker. When you watch Buddha Baker play, PAULI, 0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:50.040 the most incredible thing about it is his fearlessness and 0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:54.520 and the intensity in which he plays. Play after play 0:30:54.920 --> 0:31:00.240 after play after play. He immediately challenges you as a man. Yeah, 0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:03.960 I don't care if your offense, defense specialty, I don't 0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:04.680 care what you are. 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:07.840 He challenges you just by watching. 0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:12.400 Him play, how hard he plays and with the intensity 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:16.440 that he played, he challenges everybody on the sideline to 0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:20.560 do the exact same without saying a word. And I 0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:23.040 don't know, I don't know if you could have a 0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.200 better example than Buddha Baker because. 0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:29.320 Of that, man, Man, So what was it like when 0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:32.080 you're in the same meeting room with Buddha Baker? Because 0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:34.320 Paris Johnson Junior shared a little story about you know, 0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.600 he sort of was taken aback by Kyler Murray. You 0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:40.400 know he's like, Okay, at cool, at cool, Paris. He's 0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:42.160 like telling himself, you know, don't be a fanboy. 0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:43.479 There's Kyler Murray that kind of thing. 0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:45.840 Was it a process for you to sort of be 0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:46.680 his teammate? 0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:47.800 Man? 0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:51.080 See I speak my mind, man, and I feel like 0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:52.600 at the end of the day, where a teammates now, 0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.600 So I can tell you how I feel. When I 0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:56.719 first met him, I said, Bro, like, I really respect 0:31:56.760 --> 0:31:59.200 you as a player and a person as well. Bro, 0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:03.240 you a guy that already looked at and I literally 0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:04.720 like you said, like, I'm not trying to be a 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:06.600 fan boy. That's what I told him, Like, Bro, I'm 0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:08.440 not trying to be a fan boy. Bro, Like, I 0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:11.960 appreciate your work, all the work that you put in. 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:14.280 You make me want to go hard as well. 0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:18.280 So well, guess what earlier today, Buddha, Baker was asked 0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:21.360 about you and your return to the starting lineup. Here's Buddha. 0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:24.120 He continued to stay in it, continue to work very 0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:27.040 hard all the scout team reps. He was continuing the 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:30.400 work is technique, continuing to work the communication aspect of 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:32.800 it as well. And you know, he came in and 0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:35.200 you know, it's just like he was earlier on when 0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:37.920 he was starting, and now he's he's just adding more 0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:41.360 knowledge onto the game now that he's playing. So to 0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:43.680 get these reps and to get this time on the 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.520 field is definitely good for younger players, especially corners on 0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:48.120 the outside. 0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:51.720 In fact, to your point earlier, Wolf, when we watched 0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:54.720 the first couple games of the Cardinals in twenty twenty three, Yeah, 0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:56.800 one of the things a lot of guys cited, guys 0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.000 like you and Kyle Vanderbosch, Roth Berderckson said, you know what, 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:01.880 no longer is there so vast difference between Buddha and 0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:05.720 the rest of the players on film last year too often, right, 0:33:05.920 --> 0:33:08.360 there was Buddha playing at one speed and the rest 0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.960 of the defense at another speed. But now everyone's playing 0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:15.840 up the Buddha's intensity got to urgency right, and that 0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:18.160 that has to be compelling when he's setting that standard. 0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:21.840 I mean guys have to match that right, absolutely absolutely. 0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:25.000 For myself, I'm not the biggest guy every time we 0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:26.880 step on the field, I'm probably the smartest guy on 0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.440 the field, but my goal is not to play like that. 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:31.720 You know, at the end of the day, I gotta 0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:34.960 I see Buddha getting to the ball running full speed 0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:38.800 like he don't care about his life, but he does. 0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:41.920 It's like they used to say he was running into 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:42.600 the darkness. 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.680 But na, like, bro, I take heath to that man. 0:33:46.760 --> 0:33:49.120 So you know, that was kind of my mindset last game, 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.880 Like bro, like, forget it, full speed, I don't care 0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:55.160 that he's bigger than me. I'm gonna runn fullest, full 0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:57.760 speed into him. If I get him down, I get 0:33:57.800 --> 0:33:59.600 him down. If I don't, I know my team is coming. 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:01.320 So once again, and that's. 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:05.400 The reason why Buddha Baker players like him challenge everybody 0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:09.279 on the sideline because football, for the most part, it's 0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:14.080 played by big, fast individuals who will just knock your 0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:15.080 face off. 0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:16.000 Period. 0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:19.480 I realize when you get into the secondary, when you 0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:22.400 get into position, they're gonna get smaller and they need 0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:26.000 to get smaller because you need speed out there as well. 0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.800 But Buddha Baker, when when people watch him, is smaller. 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:34.120 He's not a prototype safety by any stretch of the imagination, 0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:38.000 not even close. He's not the fastest guy, he's not 0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:40.759 the biggest guy, and he's not the strongest guy in 0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:41.200 the field. 0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:41.759 He's not. 0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:45.719 He's just the best player on the field every time 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.839 he steps in between those white lines because of how 0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:49.480 he plays. 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:50.400 Mindset. 0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.120 It is a mindset, key truff. Why do you say 0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:55.400 that though, Because you know that, don't you. 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:59.279 That's a masset. Whoever you tell yourself you're gonna beat, 0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:01.680 that's who you're gonna be. You tell yourself you're gonna 0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:03.840 be great, You're gonna be great. If you tell yourself 0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:05.399 that I'm gonna go out here on the field today 0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:07.320 and I'm gonna be the best player on the field, 0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:10.000 regardless if there is a Hall of future, Hall of 0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:11.879 Fame on the field, I'm gonna be the best player 0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.520 on this field today, then you will be. But if 0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:16.560 you have any ounce of doubt that you're gonna that 0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:18.360 you're not gonna do that, then you won't be. 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.040 So you had nine tackles. In this last game he 0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:23.960 had ten tackles, two passes defense against Dallas. Who's the 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:28.239 best player you've gone against so far in a game? 0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.719 Who's a guy just the dude factor? Like, Okay, this 0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:33.799 this guy is a dude. 0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:37.360 I'm gonna take it all the way back to preseason. 0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.960 I'm gonna go to Patrick Mahomes like, I'm not even 0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:43.600 talking about wide receivers. I'm just I'm just talking about quarterbacks, 0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:47.799 you know, at the end, just a player. And because, man, 0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:49.520 when I was playing against him, he would make things 0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:51.880 happen with his legs, Like make plays happen with his legs. 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:54.600 As a dB, it's hard to cover for longer than 0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:57.600 three seconds, Like he makes the play last for ten 0:35:57.680 --> 0:35:59.160 seconds just running around. 0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:01.319 So that was a guy that I want to guess 0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:02.760 that that was a very good. 0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.880 That's a good answer, good answer, no doubt about it. Hey, 0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.920 Cardinals game plan, Friday six thirty on twelve News. We'll 0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.240 get you ready for the game. In fact, speaking of mindset, 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:13.680 let's talk about James Connor when we come back with 0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:16.360 Key Trell Clark on the Big Red Rage presented by 0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:22.879 Santan Ford in Gilbert This is a James Connor four 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:26.799 yard touchdown run. Just do flat shovel, flat face as 0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:27.680 Jack Nicholson. 0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:35.759 Flat shovel, flat face, that's how you run the ball 0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:40.759 inside the red zone. A little gold to go. Hand 0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:44.640 it off to James Connor. Let him find the light man. 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:46.080 That's what he did. 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.239 He's James. 0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:51.040 Connor. 0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:56.600 H flat flat shovel, flat face. 0:36:57.719 --> 0:36:59.840 That's how you run the ball inside the red zones. 0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:02.960 I don't know how. 0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:05.360 If you're familiar with Frank Kelly and know he's a 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:09.600 nationally comedian and impressionist.

We're the original Thursday Night Football. That's 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.279 how we bill ourselves around here, Key troll. So tell 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:45.719 us about James Conner. You talk about tough tackles. I 0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:47.640 don't know if there were were there any scrimmages that 0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:50.000 were live or anything like that, if you actually had 0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:51.799 to square up number six man. 0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:53.759 I told him probably about two weeks ago. 0:37:54.160 --> 0:37:56.600 Uh, you know me, And I was about to go 0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:59.760 for to tackle, and we can't tackle in practice obviously, 0:37:59.880 --> 0:38:01.960 but I was about to tag him off. And as 0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:03.879 I'm running to tag him off, I fear a big 0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:07.400 gussle Win go past me. I'm like, I'm like, oh 0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:09.920 my goodness, boy. I had tell him, I said, bro, 0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:11.319 I felt a big gust of win when you rare 0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:11.600 a pat. 0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:12.560 He just thought it laughing. 0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:16.560 I mean, he's been on this show more than once, right, 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.959 and he's told us how he originally went to pitt 0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:23.239 University of Pittsburgh as a defensive end. He was in 0:38:23.320 --> 0:38:25.880 the same position room with Aaron Donald. There was a 0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:28.320 bowl game where he split a sack as a freshman 0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:30.279 with Aaron Donald, and then all of a sudden he 0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:32.120 was a full time running back. So how do you 0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:34.320 know you're in the NFL when a former d lineman 0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:37.160 is now a starting Pro Bowl running backs, Right, that's 0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:37.800 just crazy. 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:39.759 I knew that that was That's news to me. I 0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:40.200 didn't know that. 0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:43.560 You guys are well aware that he's going back to Pittsburgh, Yes, right, 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:45.279 hometown homecoming for him. 0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:45.800 Homecoming. 0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:47.600 How much did you guys feed off? Because a lot 0:38:47.600 --> 0:38:49.720 of times when he trucks someone, I see the defense 0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:51.839 jump up. Did that get you guys going? 0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:53.320 Absolutely? Man, j C. 0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:55.839 He's gonna express his emotions on the field by any 0:38:55.920 --> 0:38:59.200 means necessary. It could be we could be a ball 0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:01.120 at minfield and he just got a first down. 0:39:01.280 --> 0:39:01.919 He's gonna hold. 0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:03.960 If he trucks somebody and got the first down, he's 0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:07.400 gonna get up, celebrate, and the whole everybody better wait 0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:08.480 for him to get back to that. 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:11.440 You know, there's no doubt about it, man, I mean, 0:39:11.480 --> 0:39:13.520 this is what James Connor brings it. Man, he's got 0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:15.160 to get the ball, he's got to get the touches. 0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:18.040 You know, you gotta break, You gotta hand the ball 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:20.680 off and let him attack the line of scrimmage. I 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:22.560 don't want to go with the whole under center thing 0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:24.759 and everything else. Everyone knows how I feel about that 0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:26.640 BALLI I don't want to talk about it. Thank you 0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:29.839 again for me, James Connor needs to get a run 0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:32.279 at the line of scrimmage and let two hundred and 0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:36.600 thirty two pounds raw. Yeah, exactly right. It's interesting though, 0:39:36.680 --> 0:39:38.279 because when you flip it over to you, you look 0:39:38.280 --> 0:39:40.880 at the Steelers. They've got a couple of really tough 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:44.600 tackles as well. When you're talking about tackling a guy 0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:50.160 like Jalen Warren or tackling a guy Harris Naji Harris 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:54.080 sixty two pounds, they got a couple of tough tackles, 0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:54.560 do they not? 0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:55.080 They do? 0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.160 They do have some some guys. That's the lead over there, man. 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:00.560 And the main thing for us is just for me 0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.080 at least, it's being a fundamental tackler. You can't run 0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:06.399 with any without any legs. That's what people my coach 0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:07.440 used to tell me all the time. 0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:09.919 And you're not afraid, Nah, you'll stick it right into 0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:10.319 the fan. 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:10.759 Yeah. 0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:13.640 Yeah, I'm not really afraid at all by any means. 0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:13.799 Bro. 0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:16.600 Look, I'm not gonna get everybody. I don't want to 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:18.800 get everybody motivated to play a game, right now. But 0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:23.080 that's how I'm feeling, and Sunday is getting closer. I 0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:25.440 might get a little round up right now. 0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:28.960 I'm like, well, you going to Pittsburgh to play the 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:30.880 Black and Gold. It's going to be a black and 0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:34.520 blue game. There's no doubt about it. James Connor knows it. Look, 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:37.560 he didn't even play a home game high school, college 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:41.160 and pros until outside Pennsylvania until he signed with the Cardinals. 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:44.960 Think about that, and he's going back home and this 0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:48.000 week he told the me to just expressed his gratitude 0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:50.360 to the city of Pittsburgh and the Steelers for just 0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:51.399 what they afforded him. 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:53.520 M there's a lot of love there in the city. 0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:55.000 You know, I got a lot of respect for the 0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:57.399 people there and just love for them. You know, taking 0:40:57.400 --> 0:40:59.080 a chance, I'm gonn take an opportunity, even though when 0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.000 it's coming out, you know, I was done with all 0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.520 types of injuries and cancer and everything in the Stelers 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:06.359 still you know, selected me, and so you know, I'm 0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:09.760 grateful for that. And then obviously the University of Pittsburgh. 0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:11.360 You know, it's one of one of the few schools 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:14.200 that gave me a scholarship. So I got nothing but 0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:15.960 love and the people. Yeah, that's all I loved there. 0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:17.680 Think about it. He beat cancer. 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:21.160 They found tumors around his heart, He endured twelve rounds 0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:24.480 of chemo, came back. The Steelers saw that because they 0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:27.359 share the same facility, pitt and the Steelers, so they 0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:30.040 saw that firsthand. What he was made of. Yeah, how 0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:32.200 he came back and what sort of player in persony 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:32.480 he is. 0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:35.080 And as he know Paully, my older brother Craig of course, 0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:38.319 is the radio analyst for the Pittsburgh Steelers and knows 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:39.799 James very very well. 0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:42.439 One of his favorite players of all time. 0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:46.040 Craig's been doing that for what twenty three years somewhere 0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:48.879 in there, twenty three twenty four years. His favorite player, 0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:52.200 one of his favorite players of all time, it's James 0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:54.400 Connor because of who he is as a person. 0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:57.759 And I'm guessing top five also would be TJ. Watt, 0:41:57.960 --> 0:41:59.920 who's going to be a Hall of Famer, and he's 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.239 type for the league lead in sacks right now. And 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.640 James Connor was asked, Okay, what does the Cardinals offense do. 0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:07.720 What's the key to getting past TJ. 0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:08.120 Watt? 0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:09.080 When you're running the ball. 0:42:09.680 --> 0:42:10.240 Run fast? 0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.080 Now, TJ's a machine. You know he's gonna make plays 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:16.480 for sure. You know he's gonna stop. But he's one 0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:18.640 of the best in the game right now. So yeah, 0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:20.120 got a hands full with him for sure. 0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:23.319 And look, it's a very stout defense. They're the number 0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:25.680 five scoring defense, so you know they're not going to 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:27.879 give up a lot of points. They typically don't, which 0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:29.920 falls back to your defense, right ca you Trow You 0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:30.719 guys got to bring it. 0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:31.200 Yeah. 0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:34.600 Absolutely. The key for this week, like I told you, man, 0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:35.399 is we didn't better. 0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:37.600 Now at the end of the day, we didn't come 0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:40.000 up Victoria's last week, but this week we've been grinding 0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:42.680 very hard to make sure that we are limited those 0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:45.880 disupposed to plays that we're not allowing up, giving more, 0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:47.960 giving up more points than we want to give up. 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:48.439 You know what I'm saying. 0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:50.440 We don't want to give up anything, obviously, but you 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:52.560 know it's the NFL. So we just got to play 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:54.440 our game, man, and just go out there and just 0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:57.239 play ball, have fun and execute. 0:42:58.080 --> 0:42:58.279 You know. 0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:00.680 Obviously everybody knows we got a lot of rookies that's 0:43:00.680 --> 0:43:03.040 gonna be on the field as well. So man, just 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:05.319 from us, we just got to play at a high 0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:07.719 level as well. You know it should be no drop off. 0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:11.520 Yeah, George Pickens, what do you see from him on film? 0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:14.040 George Pickens? 0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:19.680 George Pickens man, he's a he's a good wide receiver. 0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:22.040 I feel like, uh, you know, at the end of 0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:24.520 the day, he's gonna give us some good work. I'm 0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:26.239 gonna be able to better my craft. It's going to 0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:27.920 be more of an Iron Shoppers iron. 0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:30.919 Type of thing. Okay, press cover? Do you want press 0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:33.880 coverage on that? You want press? You want off? You 0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:35.319 want a little zone? What do you want? 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:37.239 You trying to get to the nitty gritty. That's what 0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:40.040 it sounds like. I know I can't. I can't. I 0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:43.360 can't say the game plan. He's gonna just gonna be covered. 0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:45.920 The media was hitting you up at your locker yesterday 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:49.440 too about Deontay Johnson, Like, yeah, you you all of 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:52.080 a sudden you went silent. You're not one to mince words, 0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:53.120 but all of a sudden. 0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:55.760 I'm just more so when it comes to my opponent. 0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:57.920 I just like to I love it. 0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:00.879 Yeah, y'all gonna see when he is. Yeah, I don't 0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:01.839 like to talk too much. 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:03.279 I love it. 0:44:03.800 --> 0:44:06.360 Now, what about Kenny Pickett. He can extend plays. You 0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:08.520 guys got to worry about his legs too a little bit, right. 0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:11.440 Yeah, I played I played Kenny Pickett when I was 0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:14.000 at Louvo and he was at pitt and so I 0:44:14.360 --> 0:44:17.640 got the sparience playing him once. Obviously, he's a he's 0:44:17.680 --> 0:44:19.560 a little bit of a different player now. He's he's 0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:23.120 gained more knowledge, of course since being in the NFL. Man, 0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:24.439 So he's a he's a pretty good player. 0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:24.600 Man. 0:44:24.600 --> 0:44:26.400 We's got to come ready to play, you know what, Puli. 0:44:26.480 --> 0:44:28.839 Honestly, I just want to say this quickly. James Connor 0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:31.399 and we're talking about James Connor. I'd love to see 0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:33.760 James Connor get the ball twenty five times and escape. 0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:37.160 Seriously, hey, light up and hand the ball off and 0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:39.960 let him go to work on this because the one 0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:43.400 thing that cannot happen is that this offense, the Cardinals 0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:47.240 offense is one dimensional. You can't do that, not against 0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:50.560 this defense, with their past defense. It's too good. 0:44:50.960 --> 0:44:52.640 Well, based on what he told us on his TV 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.399 show this week, it's not gonna happen again. Just six 0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:56.640 carries for James Connor. 0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:57.960 He will be featured. 0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.320 Put it that way, Hey, everyone, how about U Special 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:01.520 thanks Key Trell. 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:06.480 Clark, outstanding outstanding edition of The Big Red Rage presented 0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:10.840 by santan Ford in Gilbert's special banks as always, Jim Amandro, 0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:16.480 Cody Fincher, Matt Lazarus, Walt Ellis, Jason and Lawrence Ellis 0:45:16.640 --> 0:45:20.200 as well for Key Troll Clark once again, Ron wolfoy On, 0:45:20.280 --> 0:45:22.080 Paul Kelvicy, Hope you enjoyed a Key Troll. 0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:25.840 We'll see on Sunday in Pittsburgh The Big Red Rage. 0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:32.359 You've been listening to The Big Red Rage presented by 0:45:32.520 --> 0:45:35.840 santan Ford and Gilbert right on the Price, right on 0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:39.360 the corner of the Santan two to two Freeway in Valvista. 0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:43.719 The Rage is brought to you by seat Geek your 0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:48.719 Ticket to Great Seats, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcast.
