First though, we light 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: the dorch. Greg Dortch is back.

He's it again, 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: so more hurry magic whow Here's Craig Tree Alert. 16 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: It is officially Draft week, three days until the Tennessee 17 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: Titans are on the clock. And I believe Paul, you 18 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: are the first person that I heard mention this. Now 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm hearing it all over the place. Every team as 20 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: we speak here on Monday, April twenty first still has 21 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: its own first round pick, which is a first in 22 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: what the league is calling the common Era. 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 3: So is this like a pent up demand, the calm 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 3: before the storm before the chaos. If you ever lived 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: in the Midwest, spring fever is very real, and is 26 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 3: this going to be the equivalent infinitely enough Green Bay, Wisconsin, 27 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 3: where all of a sudden everyone loses their mind. It's 28 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 3: this syndrome where you get the first nice, warm, sunny 29 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: day after six months of winter and everybody goes berserk. Basically, 30 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: is that going to happen on Thursday night? Draft Day? 31 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: Round one? 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: That's I think is what a lot of people are 33 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: one about. Because in addition to every team right now 34 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: having its own first round pick twenty fourteen, we have 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: not had a first round selection change hands since the 36 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: start of the league year, which is back in March. 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: So typically you always have a team trade up and 38 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: that sacrifices a pick in a future first but none 39 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: of that has happened, and you have to go back 40 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: to twenty fourteen. If nothing happens between now and Thursday, 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: that things have quote unquote been quiet between teams with 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: their first round pick or. 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: Is this just a symptom of a draft that Daniel Jeremiah, 44 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: for example, describes as really more about starters than stars. 45 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: So if there's a lot of players unequal footing, then 46 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: why is there a need to trade up? Because you 47 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 3: can't trade down unless somebody wants to come up. And 48 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: I'm guessing a lot of teams would rather go down 49 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: with a lot of evenly equally graded players. But if 50 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 3: nobody's willing to come up, you get a lack of action. 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 3: Right you got to have the supply and the demand, 52 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: and right now, not a lot of demand to come 53 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: up unless unless Greg maybe just maybe on draft night, 54 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, wait a minute, Shador Sanders is falling, 55 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Jackson Dart is climbing. There's always teams 56 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 3: who are so desperate for a quarterback, and by my count, 57 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: there's at least a half dozen right now speaking or 58 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: losing your mind, whether it's spring fever or not, by 59 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: the time you get to round one, and there's pressure 60 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: from the fan base, and there's pressure to check that 61 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: box and fill that spot on your depth chart, the 62 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: most important position in sports, quarterback, And sometimes your desperation 63 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: will outweigh your reasoning, and so someone will come up 64 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: that's why I do not. I do not dismiss the 65 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: possibility the Cardinals trading out of sixteen, if indeed should do, 66 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: or Sanders falls, if indeed Jackson dark climbs. 67 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: Why is Jalen. 68 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: Milroe going to Green Bay? Why maybe he just. 69 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Wants to be a part of the atmosphere on day two? 70 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: Are you telling I don't know? You see, he's gonna 71 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: sit there and you know, in the green room like 72 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers back in the day and just plumbing throughout 73 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: the entirety of Will Levis. So something's going on here, 74 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 3: And I'm real curious. I'm real curious. Somebody makes the 75 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 3: Cardinals an offer they can't refuse at sixteen. 76 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: You bring up quarterback, And I think that's another reason 77 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: why things have quote unquote been quiet as far as 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: teams not jumping ahead of another team because there's just 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: not a star among the quarterback prospects. I was reading 80 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: Albert Breer this morning on si dot com his Monday column, 81 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: and he noted that there were a couple of teams 82 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: that don't even have a first round grade on any 83 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: of the draft prospects that play quarterback. 84 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: Wow this year. 85 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, all of a sudden Okay, Well that means 86 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: to your point, why wouldn't there be a tried why 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: don't you just stay put at eight or sixteen or 88 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: twenty two because you're going to get someone that maybe 89 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: you really like as a top ten selection, but the 90 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: teams around you maybe have more as a bottom tier. 91 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: In that first round. 92 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: I saw her Daniel Jeremiah released his top one fifty 93 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 3: board and hes Travis Hunter as the best player in 94 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: this draft. Really the closest thing to a surefi Hall 95 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 3: of Famer in terms of talent if he's a corner 96 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: and then he gets a package of plays on offense 97 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: as a somewhat raw but playmaking receiver. So if you're Tennessee, 98 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: would you rather add that sure fire potential Hall of 99 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: Famer or reach on a risky guy who started his 100 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: career at Incarnate Word and then went to Washington State 101 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: and then had one up and down season at Miami, 102 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 3: my own alma mater. Led cam Ward by twenty five 103 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: points late third quarter, managed'll blow the game, but he 104 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: certainly didn't look like the number one pick overall except 105 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 3: for about the last eleven minutes of that game. 106 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: By the way, Travis Hunter, when he gets announced on Thursday. 107 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: Has made it known to the NFL he wants to 108 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: be referred to wide receiver and cornerback, not one or 109 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: the other. He wants both positions announced with his name. 110 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 3: What's interesting is, you know, we've had both had the 111 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 3: pleasure to interview Roy Green over the last month or so, 112 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 3: Cardinals Legend Ring of Honor member, and look it up. 113 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: Really the only legitimate com to what Travis Hunter is 114 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: going to try and do theoretically, ostensibly in that there 115 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: were three games in the nineteen eighty one season where 116 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 3: Roy Green intercepted a pass and caught a pass in 117 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: the same game. And it's interesting to hear Roy Green 118 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: talk about it that it's really not feasible to be 119 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: full time at both because by the time you're done 120 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: with the year, everyone else has played seventeen games and 121 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 3: you've played thirty four. It basically doubles your workload, doubles 122 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: the tread off the tire. And so even Roy himself said, well, 123 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: he's gonna have to choose, and then if he dabbles 124 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: on one side of the ball or the other, you know, 125 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: after he becomes a full time receiver and maybe somewhat 126 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 3: of a nickel corner that goes into Nickel and Dine 127 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: packages or more likely he's a full time cover corner 128 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: CB one and then he gets the package of plays 129 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: you know, and second and third in obvious passing situations. 130 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: Really good conversation you and Zach had with Roy last 131 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: week on the Big Red Rage. I encourage everyone to 132 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: go back and listen to that. Check out the archives 133 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: or Azycardinals dot com for Roy's perspective on what Travis 134 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: Hunter hopes to do in the NFL. And speaking of 135 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: Roy Green wide receiver, how about before we get further 136 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: into this draft talk, there was a roster move that 137 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: I thought we all we all knew was going to happen, 138 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: but has become official late last week. Greg Dertsch has 139 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: signed his one year tender with his worth just over 140 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: three million million dollars. No guaranteed money, by the way, 141 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: but now he becomes the tenth wide receiver under contract 142 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: right now, with potentially another wide receiver or to add it, 143 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: either during the draft or an undrafted free agent. That 144 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: would be my guess. But Dortch's back. He wasn't gonna 145 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: go anywhere unless the Cardinals didn't want him back. So 146 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals obviously see something in him, Paul, Now, is 147 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: that just as a punt returner or could he be 148 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: that slot wide receiver or is that Zay Jones? Is 149 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: that someone else that either on the roster or coming forth? 150 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: Because I know we've talked a lot about needing, maybe not. 151 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: Some people believe maybe you do need that number two 152 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: or at least push Michael Wilson to elevate his game 153 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: to that number two level. But do you have someone 154 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: on this roster or do you have to go get 155 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: someone that is a little bit of speed like Dortche 156 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: does that can catch the ball and let things open 157 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: up underneath for a James Connor or Tran McBride. 158 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, those are all valid questions. That's a student analysis, 159 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: I would say on Greg Dortch in terms of pushing 160 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: other players, that's an absolute. He always competes. He's competing 161 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: not only gets everyone else on the roster to make 162 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: a roster because that's been his life in the NFL. 163 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: I think he's also competing against this stereotype that a 164 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: five to seven receiver can't make it, and so he 165 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: always plays with that chip on his shoulder pad, if 166 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: you will. So he's always great in terms of bringing 167 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 3: that compete that Jonathan Gannon really really covets. I would 168 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: say this, I would say, look at the Rams signing 169 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: two to two at Well for one year ten million 170 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 3: to me, one of the most eye opening and confounding 171 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: transactions of the offseason. Sean McVay was asked about that 172 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 3: recently and he said, you know what, I blame that 173 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: on myself. We should have really gotten a lot more 174 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: out of two to two at Well than four touchdown 175 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: catches in four years. And I blame my scheme, I 176 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 3: blame my play calling. The onus is upon me to 177 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: get more out of two two at Well. I wonder 178 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: if there's a similar philosophy to a degree with Greg Dorsch. 179 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: What we saw in the last couple of games was 180 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 3: increased production. He got more targets. Seemingly, when he gets targets, 181 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 3: you get first downs. Now. I know there were a 182 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: number of third downs where he's a yard shy. I 183 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 3: get that, okay, But if you're able to open up 184 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: the offense a little bit more, if you do get 185 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 3: a speed guy per se now Trey McBride with a 186 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 3: Pro Bowl on his resume, he'll get even more defensive 187 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: attention and Marvin Harrison Junior does take that next step 188 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 3: as wide receiver one. Does that open up more opportunities 189 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: for Greg Dortsch? Did they find something in those last 190 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 3: couple of games where there was increased chemistry and targets 191 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: between Kyler and Dortsch. I think those are all valid 192 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: questions as well. But with no guaranteed money on his contract, 193 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 3: guess what he's gonna have to be in prove it 194 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: mode once again? Come August. 195 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: You mentioned dorts those last couple of games. I broke 196 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: down his game by game overall last season three thirty 197 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: seven catches, three hundred and forty two yards and a 198 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: career high three touchdowns. The last four games though, eleven catches, 199 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four yards and two touchdowns. To 200 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: your point, was something unlocked there? Obviously? Kyler trusts Dorch. 201 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: The big thing is, and we've heard it now for 202 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: three different coaching staffs with Greg, is the consistency. Is 203 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: he where he needs to be? Is he doing all 204 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: the other stuff? It's not just catch the ball or, 205 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: as Gannon likes to say, get open, catch the ball. 206 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: Are you able to block so you're not just on 207 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: the field and everyone knows, well Dorch is in the game, 208 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: most likely the pass is going to be going to him. 209 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: You have to be able to do other things in 210 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,479 Speaker 1: order to get on the field for certain downs and distances, 211 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: and I think that's always been what is held Dorsch 212 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: back as far as Okay, is he physical enough to 213 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: be a valuable asset in the run game or is 214 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: he just typically okay, possession receiver, go out it open. 215 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's another valid point. You're right, because what has 216 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: Drew Petson covet as much as anything else being multiple 217 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: going up to the line of scrimmage and posing the 218 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: thread of either running or passing the ball. And if 219 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: Dortsch is out there, is it a bit of a tell? 220 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: Are you in passing mode? Because you know no block, 221 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: no rock Well, guess what you know? There are certain 222 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 3: receivers that are a little more equipped for the run 223 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 3: game and blocking, like a Jay Jones at six two 224 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: two hundred plus versus a Greg dors So, yeah, that's 225 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 3: a good question as well. We know how the Cardinals 226 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: covet the tight ends, and when you're going multiple tight ends, 227 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 3: guess what. Guess who's not in the game. Greg Dortch 228 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 3: so I'm curious, once again, going back to Sean McVay, 229 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 3: if they're thinking, all right, you know what, this offseason, 230 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 3: we're gonna come up with a little different scheme that 231 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: might be able to feature Dorsch a little bit more, 232 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 3: because we know how confident he is. I mean, he'll 233 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: make you missing a phone booth. He loves to say 234 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: that about himself. So if you can get him the 235 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: ball and get him just a little bit of space, 236 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 3: he can truly be lethal. And I think that's what 237 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 3: they did in those last three or four games. Able 238 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: to get him the ball and get him a little 239 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 3: bit of space, he's. 240 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: Able to work. 241 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: What he's able to do in the return game, he 242 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: can easily do yards after catch, you know, if you 243 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: can get him the ball without someone all over him. 244 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: And then the other thing is with a touchback coming 245 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: out to the thirty five, will there be even more 246 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 3: more emphasis on the return game and increase opportunities there. 247 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 3: And I can just tell you last offseason talking to 248 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: Greg Dortch and the new dynamic kickoff rule, nobody was 249 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: more fired up than Dorsch to get more shots at 250 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 3: kickoff returns. Now that didn't materialize to the rate at 251 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 3: which we thought. But if that's gonna happen in twenty 252 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 3: twenty five, maybe this is where Dortch, who firmly believes 253 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 3: he could be a pro bowler in the return game, 254 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 3: maybe this is where he really excels this year. 255 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, it's not just DJ 256 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: back there, but it's more of a okay, you need 257 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: to pick which side, and all of a sudden, is 258 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: it DJ gonna return? It is it Dorts that's gonna return. Both, 259 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: by the way, had career years on kickoff returns last season. 260 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: So it is a weapon that I thought we saw 261 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: a little bit bit, maybe not nearly as enough because 262 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: teams were just like, hey, take it at the thirty, 263 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: we'll defend the next seventy yards. Now you're gonna be 264 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: asked to defend sixty five yards. And that's even though 265 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: it's a five yard difference. That's huge for a lot 266 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: of these head coaches, and especially after DJ Dallas and 267 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals kickoff return team housed one in Week one 268 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: at Buffalo, so opponents were all that much less likely. 269 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: To give them future opportunities. But you're right, if you 270 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 3: have the two of them back there and there's a 271 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: thunder and lightning not in the backfield, but in the 272 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: return game with DJ Dallas and Greg Dorch. 273 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a. 274 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: Competitive advantage for the Cardinals this coming season. 275 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's bring this conversation back over to the 276 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: draft and a reminder, berd Gang, if you want to 277 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: be a part of the draft, how'll we invite you 278 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: out to State Farm Stadium on Thursday, April twenty fourth 279 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: watch the first round with fans. And by the way, 280 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: Paul I always mentioned your name, but there was a 281 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: brand new press release that was issued by the team 282 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: late last week that did include your name, but your 283 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: name was second. Because now all of a sudden, it's 284 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: no longer the one man gang, it's the two man 285 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: gang here. As far as hosting the draft party, Cardinals 286 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: legend Adrian Wilson and Paul Calvic now part of the 287 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: draft party on. 288 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: Thursday, Well, rightfully so, Adrian Wilson's name happens to be 289 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: in the Ring of honor. It's up on the stadium itself. 290 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: I'm actually surprised they just didn't list my role as 291 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 3: Mike stand somebody will hold the mic for Adrian Wilson 292 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: with hell Hey have you talked to aw because I 293 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: might be on the rights of things to do. That's right, 294 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: he might view it that way. I might definitely be 295 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: Pauli's sidekick, and once again rightfully, so we'll see. I've 296 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 3: spent a good twenty years just holding the mic for 297 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: Adrian Wilson, so why not do it up on stage 298 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: at the draft party. No, he is uniquely qualified to 299 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: be part of this event. I mean he's not only 300 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 3: the legend, the five time pro bowler right and a 301 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: fan favorite, but he spent many an hour grinding film, 302 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: generating scouter reports, being a member of NFL front offices 303 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: at a very high level. He knows how this works, 304 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: he knows how to assess a player, he knows how 305 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 3: to communicate it. This is right in his wheelhouse. So 306 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: I'm really curious what it's going to be like working 307 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: with Adrian Wilson throughout our draft coverage, because I'm looking 308 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: forward to it. 309 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: He not only became a front office member, but he 310 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: worked his way up after his playing career ended. He 311 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: became a scout and watched film broke down film wrote reports. 312 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't just hey, we have a former player who's 313 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: got a big name. Let's put him in the front 314 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: office and give him a title and just let him 315 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. No, he grinded to your point 316 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: to now, all of a sudden, what does he know? 317 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: What does he see that you and I and fans, Okay, 318 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: we're just following the football. But a player like Adrian 319 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: Wilson when it was a different eyes towards the game, 320 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: both on offense and defense. 321 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 3: I remember running into him. This is early after he 322 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: was done playing, and he's working in the Cardinals front 323 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: officer in the scouting department, to be exact. And it 324 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 3: was like a Saturday, we had some sort of event 325 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: and I'm at the facility and there's Adrian Wilson at 326 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: like eight thirty in the morning. We really and I 327 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: just remember, you know, he'll look at you and I'll deadpan. 328 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: Sometimes he's a man a few words. I'm a grinder. 329 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: I'm a grinder, right, and I'm like, I guess. So 330 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 3: there he was spending his entire Satday Saturday, generating scouting reports. 331 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: And he will be out there at State Farm Stadium 332 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: on Thursday for the Cardinals official draft party. Admission is free, 333 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: Parking is free. You do need to register digital tickets 334 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: are required.

That's Asycardinals dot Com Forward Slash Draft Party 336 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: that is Thursday. And then another Cardinals legend is going 337 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: to be involved on Day two in Green Bay, Patrick Peterson. 338 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: It's been announced we'll announce the team's second and third 339 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: round selections on Friday. That would be picks forty seven 340 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: and seventy eight. So a great day, great couple of 341 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: weeks now for p two as far as being brought 342 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: back into the fold late last week or early last week, 343 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, gonna see Patrick around a 344 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: little bit more. 345 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: And we'll get further evidence. Does the man ever get nervous? 346 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 3: Does he ever get anxious? Because there he's gonna be 347 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: live NFL Network calling out the picks on Day two. Okay, 348 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 3: all right, Pat, here we go. The red light's on, 349 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: the spotlight is shining. How are you gonna do? And 350 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: he'll crush it as usual, And it is great to 351 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 3: see him back, you know, still around the game and 352 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 3: around the Cardinals in particular. And there's another guy, I 353 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: mean just I look forward to his analysis coming up 354 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: because he has such a unique perspective and he's only 355 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: removed from the game by a year or two, so 356 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 3: it is remarkable how much you know, personal first hand 357 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: insight he can give on players and coordinators because he 358 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 3: knows he just went against them. 359 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: Draft coming up on Thursday, Cardinals with the sixteenth overall 360 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: pick six total picks at least as we speak here 361 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: on this Monday, April twenty first, and we had a 362 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: chance to hear from both Moni and JG last week 363 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: the pre draft presser, and we had a chance to 364 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: talk about that last week on Cardinals Cover two with Danny. 365 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: But something to bring up now because the door has 366 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: closed on what we all talk about the top thirty visits. 367 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: It's not really top thirty, is Moni reminded everyone, because 368 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: there's only thirty of them, so it's the thirty visits. 369 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: But the question was asked as far as hey, based 370 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: off what was reported or what has been reported, can 371 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: you learn anything from the players who reportedly have been 372 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: brought in for these thirty visits, because as you look, 373 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: twenty two of the thirty visits are known, and not 374 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: counting players from ASU and UFA or local products, because 375 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: that does not count towards the thirty number. But you 376 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: look at the twenty two players that have been brought 377 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: in Paul, Seventeen of the twenty two are defensive players. 378 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: Fifteen of the seventeen played on the front, seven six 379 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: defensive tackles, five defensive ends, and two outside linebackers. So again, 380 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: can we read into any of that as far as 381 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 1: whether the Cardinals might be looking at sixteen or forty 382 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: seven or seventy eight. 383 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 3: A couple weeks ago. What I say, you don't walk 384 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: into a barbecue joint and order the avocado toast. So 385 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: if this draft is known for d line and edge 386 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 3: players and it's just an epic sort of draft in 387 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 3: terms of depth, if nothing else, then yeah, that would 388 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 3: make sense. It would make sense. That's exactly where the 389 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 3: Cardinals are targeting, because that's where the strength in this 390 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: draft exists. Or it's just a matter of guess what, 391 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 3: There's not that many offensive players they would seriously consider. 392 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: Hence there wouldn't be that many offensive players who get 393 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 3: at the top thirty visit you know, maybe the depth 394 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 3: in the draft is such that it's along that defensive front. 395 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 3: Hence there's more names, more guys to consider. And once again, 396 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 3: every single name on that list offense defense specialist really 397 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 3: is trying to check that box for Jonathan Gannon and 398 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: Monti assin Fort and it goes something like this, do 399 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 3: we want this guy in our building? That's the first criterion. 400 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: Do we want him in here twelve hours a day, 401 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: seven days a week during the season, you know, do 402 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 3: you want this guy around? And then if you do, okay, 403 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: let's really double down in his film and his talent. 404 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 3: Is he equipped and qualified? Can he be a playmaker? 405 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 3: Can he be someone we count on? And so with 406 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 3: that in mind, that's how they go about this process 407 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 3: once again, all ball? Is this guy all ball or not? 408 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 3: And whereas you may not be able to give a 409 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 3: definitive verdict by the time they leave in a top 410 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 3: thirty visit, guess what you can figure out who's not equipped. 411 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: There are certain tells and certain first impressions that will 412 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 3: nullify a guy from the process or serious consideration. So 413 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: you might think, all right, well, you know there's a 414 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 3: few names missing us. Well, some of those names I 415 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 3: met with in Indianapolis, and some of those names they 416 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 3: just they just crossed off the list right away. We 417 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: don't even need to visit with this guy again, or 418 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 3: maybe we didn't get this guy at the combine, so 419 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: we'll bring him in. I'm glad you said that about 420 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 3: Cam Scattaboo because I'm like, wait a minute, where's Cam 421 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: Scataboo on this list? Well, once again the local visit. 422 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that's sort of grandfathered in if you will. 423 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: By the way, Moni did acknowledge that, Yeah, they did 424 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of quote front players that were brought in, 425 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: and then he added this, Paul, I don't know if 426 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: that was necessarily by design. It just worked out that 427 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: those players we felt like we needed a little more 428 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: work on them end quote. I get it. I do 429 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: think it's a tell because of how deep and rich 430 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: at defensive line edge that this draft class is that Okay, 431 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: you bring in half a dozen defensive tackles, you bring 432 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: in a hand of defensive ends, because that's what we 433 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: talked about as far as what this team is looking 434 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: for as far as needs, and then what this draft 435 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: is heavy And yeah, there are great running backs in 436 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: this draft class, but I think the Cardinals are pretty 437 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: well stocked at the running back position, maybe not so 438 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: much at defensive line as far as defensive end or 439 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: outside linebackers. So Okay, let's take a little bit more 440 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: of further examination, if you will, on a handful of 441 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: these prospects, to see how they interact when they get 442 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: into the building. What kind of person are they, not 443 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: just with the coaches, but the behind the scenes people 444 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: as well that you're gonna have interaction with. Do you 445 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: interact with people well, because again it's the person then 446 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: the player, And as JG said, what role do you 447 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: have on this team? 448 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 3: You know, there are a few names that jump off 449 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 3: this list to me because I firmly believe if you're 450 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 3: gonna go D line at sixteen, if there's an edge 451 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 3: guy there, that's where the Cardinals will go. Not only 452 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 3: because really deep right now in the D line room. Now, look, 453 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 3: I but Kenneth Grant is there, and you think he's 454 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: a game wrecking three technique. I could easily see that. 455 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 3: But in the pecking order and food chain in the NFL, 456 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 3: it's quarterback. Get to the quarterback, protect that quarterback. So 457 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 3: when I see Jalen Walker and Michael Williams, the two 458 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: you know, edge guys from George on the list, to me, 459 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 3: that makes sense. When James Pierce Junior the defensive end 460 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 3: out of Tennessee is on this list. Has all the measurables, 461 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: has all the speed. He was a full second plus 462 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 3: faster than anyone else at his position group at the Combine. 463 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 3: But there's some questions going back through his college career. 464 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 3: It would make sense you bring in a James Pierce junior. 465 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 3: We need more homework with this guy. We want this 466 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 3: guy in the building for a full day. What is 467 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 3: he truly like? That makes sense to me. A Walter Nolan, 468 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 3: who you know, there's various reports about Walter Nolan, but 469 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 3: everyone agrees is ridiculously talented and has a great motor 470 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 3: as a defensive tackle. All right, what's he like? And 471 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 3: then there's someone else on this list that I find 472 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,239 Speaker 3: very intriguing because if you believe the mock drafts, the 473 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 3: Cardinals are either going to draft one of the following 474 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 3: six positions offensive guard, offensive tackle, d line, edge, corner, receiver. 475 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 3: What about Mike linebacker? 476 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: Careful Paul? 477 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 3: What about Jahad Campbell on this list? What about this 478 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 3: all American dude from Alabama who's six', three runs a 479 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 3: four five forty and could be the captain and play 480 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: caller of your defense for the next. DECADE i think 481 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: the sleeper position right now for The Arizona cardinals is middle? 482 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 3: Linebacker who? Is it doesn't appear to Be Kaisier. White 483 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 3: i'm guessing they'd already have a deal. 484 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: Done maybe. 485 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: Not maybe after the draft that position isn't. Addressed maybe 486 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 3: they get back, together they arrive at a. Deal but 487 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 3: Could Jahad campbell the sleeper that no one AND i 488 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 3: mean no one THAT i have seen has talked about 489 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 3: or mocked to The Arizona cardinals. 490 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: Mocked not so. Much but, again going back To Albert 491 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: Breer's monday, column he wrote, this AND i found it 492 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: interesting because he did bring Up Jahad campbell and mentioned 493 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: that he would be quote an excellent fit for WHAT 494 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: Gm Montijasin ford and Coach Jonathan gannon have emphasized in 495 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: their first two. Years he's, tough, smart and, versatile capable 496 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: of playing off the ball and on the. Edge NOW 497 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: i read, that and for long Time cardinal fans it's. Okay, 498 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: Well Zavian, Collins Isaiah, Simmons Hassan reddick been, there done. 499 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: That the versatility of a middle linebacker slash outside? Linebacker what? Position? 500 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: What going back To JG's, thoughts what role do they 501 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: see For Jahad campbell or someone who has that. Versatility 502 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: again we talk about it along the offensive, line defensive, 503 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: line but do you want someone who can just play mike, 504 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: linebacker someone who can just rush the? Quarterback or in 505 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: the case Of Avon, collins do you want someone that 506 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna try to figure out where they are best. 507 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: Suited AND i think that's Where cardinal fans when you 508 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: bring up A Jihad, campbell it's like now again different front. 509 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: Office yet at the same, time It's, okay there's gonna 510 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: be a lot of are we doing this? Again, really 511 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this? Again AND i get. It YET 512 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: i would think THAT mani has earned the trust that 513 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: if that is the pick or a player like, that 514 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: then again going back to one good, person good, Player 515 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: and YET. Jg Nick rowlis knows what to do with 516 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: a player with that kind of, Versatility. 517 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 3: And you, know it's a great. OBSERVATION i would say 518 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 3: the difference versus A Hassan reddick was when he entered 519 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 3: THE nfl he had never played off the ball. Linebacker, 520 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 3: ever like he had to, Learn, okay as an inside, 521 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 3: linebacker what are my keys against just a basic power rushing. 522 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: ATTACK i mean he was starting from ground. Zero Johd 523 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 3: campbell at least has played a lot of middle linebacker 524 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 3: and has those INSTINCTS i would presume playing that. Position 525 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 3: but at the same, time to your, point he has that, 526 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 3: flexibility that versatility that A Mack wilson senior. Has is 527 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 3: he going to be an inside off the ball linebacker 528 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 3: or wait a, minute it's third and, eleven he's coming 529 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 3: off the. Edge and what Has Matthew stafford said about 530 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 3: The cardinals, defense at least last year leaning up to the, Rematch, 531 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 3: hey this defense is really. Dynamic you're never quite sure 532 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 3: what you're looking. At you're never quite sure based on 533 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 3: the personnel what you're going to. Get it's really difficult 534 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: to decipher based on the personnel what sort of scheme 535 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 3: they're going to. Run because these guys do so many different. 536 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: Things it appears to be THE. Jg nick rollis. Way 537 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 3: so If Jod campbell is one of those guys who 538 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 3: in a certain situation could come off the edge Like zay, 539 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 3: mccollins or drop back and being off the ball, linebacker 540 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 3: and maybe as he gets a little older and loses 541 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 3: half a, step he's strictly middle. Linebacker but as a, 542 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 3: rookie especially when it's so, easy just say go get, 543 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 3: them unleash them off the, edge, right don't, think just. 544 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 3: PLAY i could definitely see that as a role if 545 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: they draft Joh Hot. Campbell two other. 546 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: Names of note on this top thirty visit list both offensive, 547 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: Tackles Josh simmons out Of Ohio state and Ariantae ursery 548 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: out Of. Minnesota WHY i highlight those two, Names, well 549 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: take a look at This cardinals coaching staff and the 550 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: new coaches that they brought. In Justin, fry your offensive line, 551 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: coach where's he From Ohio? State on the other, side 552 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: your defensive line, coach Coach, debo where's he From? Minnesota 553 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: so now all of a, sudden there's more intel not 554 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: only on the, Player, paul but the. Person and it 555 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: goes back to bringing in good people into this locker. 556 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: Room and is it the be all end all if 557 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: you have a connection on the coaching. Staff, no but 558 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: it certainly doesn't. Hurt AND i think we've seen Even 559 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: JG's original coaching staff on how many people he brought 560 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: in from the college. Ranks not a lot of LONGTIME nfl, 561 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: assistance but he dipped his hand into the college. Ranks 562 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: did it again this offseason when there were some. Openings 563 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: is it with an eye towards these new players that 564 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: are coming into the. 565 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 3: League and you know What justin fry told us sitting 566 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 3: right here in this seed, that oh, yeah if they 567 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 3: asked for my, Opinion i'll have an opinion not only 568 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 3: in the GUYS i, coached but the GUYS i went, 569 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 3: against guys THAT i saw in other, Programs GUYS i 570 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: would study an entire week getting ready to play those. 571 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: Guys so your darn tooton that The cardinals new d 572 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: line coach and offensive line, coach both from The Big. 573 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: Ten and Then Justin, frye having competed in the postseason 574 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 3: all the way to a national, championship went against a 575 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 3: lot of big programs and had his study the elite 576 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 3: of the elite from THE sec and. Beyond and so 577 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 3: they definitely have a familiarity with a lot of these, 578 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: players guys who have played three years in the college. 579 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 3: Games so they may not have gone against them last, 580 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 3: year but maybe the season. Before and it's all, About, 581 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 3: okay who gave us a? Headache you, know who was 582 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 3: really problematic to block or who was really problematic to 583 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 3: game against and. Boom you, KNOW i can give A 584 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 3: mania support To Dave sears at least a little bit 585 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: of extra. Intel go back watch some of the, film 586 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 3: dig a little. DEEPER i know When Jonathan gannon mentioned 587 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 3: that at the press, Conference mania support right alongside was nodding. 588 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: Accordingly there's no doubt they are getting value from those 589 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 3: college coaches because they're so fresh out of the. 590 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: GAME i also got to shout out Alec, osborne your 591 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: new defensive quality control. Coach he's been on the college 592 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: level the past eight, years including stops At baylor AND 593 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: lsu AND Dj, gillens The Bill Bedwell fellowship coach six 594 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: years on the college. Level so, again interactions with these 595 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: draft prospects where they're either tangible meaning like you've coached, 596 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: them or you ran into them along those coaching circuits 597 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: Or All star, games or you least people talk and 598 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: whether it was another coach or another, player and you 599 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: get to know a little bit more information on these 600 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: draft prospects and why so much about these thirty. Visits, 601 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: well most likely if The cardinals brought a player, in 602 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: they're going to draft, them because you look Back paul 603 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty. Three Paris Johnson, Junior Garrett, Williams 604 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,959 Speaker 1: Key Trow clark all had thirty. Visits last year at 605 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: Matej Max Mountain Rabbit Savior Thomas all had thirty. Visits. 606 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 3: Wow, Interesting well you look at the offensive tackles on 607 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: this list right you, mentioned you, Know Calvin banks, junior 608 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 3: and Then Josh simmons and then a new name for, 609 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 3: Me Anthony belton out Of North Carolina state six six 610 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 3: three thirty something starting right. Tackle all three of those 611 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 3: guys have the ability to play. Guard it would make 612 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 3: so much sense to have a guy come in round, 613 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 3: one around two who could buy for a starting guard 614 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 3: position right out of the, gate and then maybe in year, 615 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 3: two year, three After Jonah williams or however you want 616 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 3: to you, know account for, it, boom all of a, 617 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 3: sudden they have the ability to move out to right, 618 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 3: tackle for. Example i've even seen some projections That Calvin 619 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 3: Banks junior would come in be a starting guard and 620 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 3: next year go to left. Tackle, YEAH i don't like that. 621 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 3: One And Paris Johnson junior back to right. Tackle let 622 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 3: me tell. 623 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: YOU i don't like that. 624 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 3: One you got to be a, dude you would have 625 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 3: to really be a dude to Move Paris Johnson junior 626 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: back to right. Tackle BUT i love the competition aspect 627 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 3: of that because you would get the best out of both. 628 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 3: Players of that indeed is the, Case but that whole 629 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 3: line of, THINKING i believe is. Sound if you can 630 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 3: get a guy who can play guard for at least 631 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: maybe the year or two and be that guy be 632 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 3: a starter from day one the moment he gets off the, 633 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 3: plane but then has a future at one of the tackle, 634 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 3: spots that's a win. 635 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: Win and you look at, again we're talking about right. 636 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: Guard now we presume That Evan brown will stay on 637 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: the left, side but you have an, opening and regardless 638 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: of which side that you bring in a young player 639 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: and you got yellow to for a hole on one, 640 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: side and then whether It's Kelvin beacham Or Joana, williams 641 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: but on their, health that's a veteran on the other. Side, 642 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: now all of a, sudden as a, rookie your eyes 643 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: aren't nearly as wide when you break the. Huddle maybe 644 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: there's not nearly as much information that you're trying to. 645 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: Process because get a guy in your left or right 646 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: tapping you a little bit and making, sure you know 647 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: where you're supposed to, go who you're supposed to. Block 648 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: and then as you get a little bit up to 649 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: speed with the, game maybe by week, ten, eleven and, 650 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,479 Speaker 1: twelve things are coming a little bit quicker for. You 651 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: you're processing, quicker and then, okay let me kick you 652 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: out to tackle to where we see you as our 653 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: long term. Solution and you, know it's. 654 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 3: Really easy to look at some of these guys in the, 655 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 3: draft especially first and second, rounders and automatically pencil them 656 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 3: in as. Starters and, Look i'll put my hand up 657 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 3: in the air and volunteer myself as someone who was 658 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 3: guilty of that a year. Ago and then you, Realize, 659 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 3: okay in training, camp guess What Max maulton is learning 660 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:13,439 Speaker 3: a radically different approach to playing defensive. Back it's a different, System. 661 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 3: RABBIT i remember talking To. Rabbit it was Mid, december 662 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 3: and he said he was finally truly getting a grasp 663 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 3: on what he called such a different system than he 664 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 3: had ever played in. College so there really is an 665 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 3: extraordinary learning. Curve What Paris Johnson junior did the year 666 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 3: before in twenty three playing every single offensive snap is 667 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 3: such a, rarity is such an. Exception i've read into 668 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 3: that and sort of extrapolated that into nearly the entire 669 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 3: draft class last, season and you just can't do. That 670 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 3: so for that, reason you, said, yes it can be 671 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 3: much more of a process in a learning curve in year. 672 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 3: One but that's Why Kalais campbell in THE d line 673 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 3: ROOM i think so. Valuable Calvin beacham in THE o 674 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 3: line room is so. VALUABLE i remember it was the 675 00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 3: end of the season last, Year Calvin beacham meeting the 676 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 3: me and somebody asked them About Christian jones And Isaiah. 677 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 3: Adams he went into this extended analysis of the two, 678 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 3: rookies and he did it as if he was the online. 679 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 3: Coach it was really, interesting but that's what he. Is 680 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 3: he's sort of a de facto coach in that. 681 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: Room, look we did it With, marvin we did it 682 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: With Darius, robinson AND mhj even said that first week 683 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: In buffalo things were going a mile a minute and 684 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: for d rob unfortunately he gets. Hurt we don't quite 685 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: know what he would have been able to do out 686 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: of the, gate considering how dominant he was in training 687 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: camp and only PLAN i believe was nine or ten 688 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: STAPs in, preseason saw enough of, him and Again i'm 689 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: right there with you because it's the shiny new, object 690 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: it's the new. Toy let's go see what this, individual 691 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: this draft prospect can. Do and then all of a 692 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: sudden's like, wait reality sometimes hits you in the face because, 693 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: yeah they played at the highest level in, college yet 694 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: there is still a significant step up in talent and 695 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 1: speed of the, game the, physicality and then just how 696 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: quickly you have to process thing becomes more of a 697 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: mental game than a physical, game at LEAST i think 698 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: on THE nfl. Level and it does take a little, 699 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: while maybe an entire full season for some of these 700 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: rookies to kind of really get adjusted to what they 701 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: need to. 702 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 3: DO i, mean you look at this step chart right, 703 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 3: now where's the greatest? Need forget about, want where's the greatest. 704 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 3: Need you could argue middle linebacker is maybe the biggest. 705 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 3: Need but are you going to take a rookie and 706 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 3: put him a middle linebacker from day, one week, one 707 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 3: calling the defense wearing the green. Dot he's never seen 708 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 3: what A Kyle shanahan could, present what A sean McVay 709 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 3: could offer. Up that is a tremendous. Task mentally just 710 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 3: to be able to compete against some of, these you, 711 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 3: know the best minds in the. Business so with that in, mind, 712 00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 3: YEAH i gotta remind, MYSELF pauli pump your brakes draft all, 713 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 3: right these, guys you know they're gonna be a lot 714 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 3: of these guys will still be great, players but it 715 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,240 Speaker 3: just takes a little more.

Front 749 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: you Know i'm gonna go even further than. That i'm 750 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: gonna say, edge whether that is defensive end or outside, 751 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: linebacker because when you say, EDGE i think a lot 752 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: of people depending on what kind of defense you play 753 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: for three three, Four BUT i could With Nick, rolis 754 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: if you have a hand in the dirt or, not 755 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: or you're a stand, up you're gonna get after the, 756 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: quarterback get into the. BACKFIELD i think that's Where i've 757 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: come From january to, now is it's going to be 758 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: someone that can get after the opposing. Quarterback, yeah you Got, 759 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 1: joshwtt you Got Baron, browning and you're kind of don't 760 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: quite know about B Joe jalari And Xavier thomas and 761 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: everyone else in that. Room And Baron browning only re 762 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: signed for two. Years Josh, Wett, yeah it's a four year, 763 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 1: deal but if you were a look at, it it's 764 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 1: a two year. Deal so, again the draft is more 765 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: about not just this, season but seasons to. Come you. 766 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 3: KNOW i like, that and for me it would sort 767 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 3: of bring me full circle because when we started this 768 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 3: whole process kind of in Late january or, so that's 769 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 3: where we're. Thinking we were thinking, edge, right and then 770 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 3: you get distracted and your interests and your thoughts and 771 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 3: your strategies sort of go. Astray but now you come 772 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 3: back all the way full. Circle what The rams did 773 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:04,399 Speaker 3: last year a verse and they got him in, nineteen well? 774 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 3: Done can you do something? Similar is it A James 775 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 3: pearce junior for example at sixteen? Overall AND i do 776 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 3: agree with. You you, know if you can find a 777 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 3: guy who has that production and has the, measurables has, 778 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 3: both and you can unleash him on the. Quarterback everybody 779 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 3: now affect the, quarterback and then considering the assets they 780 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 3: put into defensive line right now and just how deep 781 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 3: that room, IS i think it's a little bit little 782 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 3: bit of a tell that if they do go defensive, 783 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 3: front it would be. Edge. 784 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: Again we will in all of the speculation starting On 785 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: thursday when The Arizona cardinals are on the clock with 786 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: the sixteenth overall. Pick still a couple more days between 787 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: now and then to, speculate but we are getting closer 788 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: and closer to when we can actually discuss players as 789 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: opposed to predict who might be in the. 790 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 3: Building once, AGAIN i know you guys don't want to hear, 791 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 3: it but let there be a FOURTH. Qb that's What i'm, 792 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 3: saying right, now if it's Cam, Warden Shader, sanders and 793 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,919 Speaker 3: Then Jackson, dart don't Dismiss Jackson dart To New orleans 794 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 3: at number.
