Let's see here at show number five 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.240 seventy one all time in the History of the Big 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.320 Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert we are 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.200 santan Ford, Paul Calvc here or on wolf Ley there. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.959 You know what's beautiful about it as well, Paulie, we 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.200 actually have some things to talk about that's pertained to 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.440 the game of football on the football field, though we not. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.440 Paul I was about to say, let's see here ninety 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.080 plus players in camp and about ninety plus storylines in 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.760 the span of a week. I mean storylines. We have 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.120 headlines a little bit. We've got the return of guys 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.280 we didn't expect, like, oh, Max Williams to start off today, 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.840 hashtag mustache. Love seeing Max Williams out there, I mean, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.440 wolf PAULI, what was that? Honestly? First of all, before 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.200 you go off of Max Williams, what was that mustache 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.480 that he had gone right there? Paul, You, from time 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.400 to time have been known to grow a nasty looking mustache, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.679 I might add, what was that all about? Well, first off, 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.200 you have the full Back Club. I'm not gonna say 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.600 you know anything negative about the full Back Club like 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.080 you do about the Mustache Club. You know, the likes 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.799 of a Drew stand in the PASSA Carson Palmer was 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.519 the worst, I said earlier, the leader right now, all 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.920 you know across the country the mustache power Poles, Matt Carpenter, 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.880 the Yankees. Google that up. The infielder, yes. And then 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.359 you had Max Williams say Wolf, I mean, there's always 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.160 got to be that guy who keeps it light during 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.480 the drudgery right in the of a training camp. And 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.440 that guy is Max Williams. What he says, what he's 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.320 wearing on his upper lemp. You know, it's so amazing 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.160 about it too. You're talking about one of the most 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.600 dangerous human beings on the face of the planet when 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.080 he's actually in between those white lines. Max will light 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.840 you up. Paul, I know you've never been let up. Polly. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.519 I know that you don't know what that really feels like. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.640 It's not a very nice experience, let's put it that way. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.440 And honestly, that mustache is nefarious. Don't maybe break out 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.600 the high school game film from our game against Sanatory, 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.680 Ronnie Lott, so please don't do that, Paul. They activated 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.240 Max Williams off the pup. We see that. I mean, 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.160 there's a lot of stuff flying around today. So that 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.720 started the day in terms of personnel. To end the day, 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.480 they signed a wide receiver by the name of Marcel Eightman. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.560 Because we also have some injury news mixed in there, 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.480 like Antoine Wesley looks like he's gonna miss at least 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.600 the next week because they try and evaluate his growing 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.560 in his hip. He's had an MRI. Zach Ertz left 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.960 the field today with a calf strain, so we'll see 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.960 what's up with that. Speaking a tight ends, Tray McBride, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.560 he missed his second straight practice. Doesn't sound like it's 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.400 a big deal with a back. They want to make 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.520 sure he's good to go for the preseason opener next 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.240 week at Cincinnati. Marco Wilson dealing with a groin. We'll 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.760 get to more Marco Wilson and what the head coach 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.720 had to say about him. So yeah, well, if there's 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.520 a lot going on. And then there's the former host 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.960 of this show, DJ Humphrey's putting the big in a 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.120 big red rage with a big dollars how about your 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.640 reaction to his contract extension. You know it, Polly hum 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.760 In the National Football League in the Year of Our 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.680 Lord twenty twenty two, you need three offensive positions. You've 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.760 got to address three, and you've got to have three 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.400 really really good ones if you want to have a 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.560 good offense. Number one, as we all know, Polly, it's 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.679 franchise quarterback, right, say, you would agree with that, of course, 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.240 even you, Polly, you would agree with that. You know, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.520 you need a franchise quarterback if, in fact you want 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.280 to have a good offense. Well, I think the Arizona 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.200 Cardinals have that, of course in Kyler Murray. You also 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.280 need a wide receiver one, Polly, you need a guy 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.600 in today's NFL where you're throwing the ball and they're 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.719 making the rules so easy to throw the ball and 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:09.800 easy to protect a quarterback and protecting the quarterback literally 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.960 when he's getting hit or sacked. Yeah, there's no doubt 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.160 about that. You need a wide receiver one out there, 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.279 and I think the Arizona Cardinals have that in DeAndre 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.719 Hopkins when he's healthy and ready to go. Yeah, thank you, 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.320 Bill O'Brien, team MVP of the Cardinals three years ago. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.960 And Polly. You need an offensive tackle, you need a 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.520 left tackle to be precise. And that's what the Arizona 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.400 Cardinals have now with DJ Humphreys. They locked him up. 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.760 Of course, they added what three more years onto his contract. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.640 Right now, when you find a left tackle that is 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.240 better than average, let's put it that way, when you 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.680 find a left tackle that is in the top third 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.400 of the league, you go ahead and you sign him 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.880 to an extension. He started forty nine to the last 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.200 fifty games, so the Cardinals. In one game he missed COVID. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.440 He's a two time team happening. But think about dj 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.719 MP dog ball, Yeah, and think about dj mpre's always 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.040 a rookie twenty and fifteen when he's a first round 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.520 pick and by his own admission, was immature. Yes, he 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.600 was asked in front of the media if the two 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.720 fifteen version of DJ Humpreys would have believed you just 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:22.400 earned yet another contract extension. Definitely surreal. I think just 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.040 you know, I mean, thinking back over the whole thing, 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.920 you know, if you had told me this in twenty fifteen, 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.520 that first, you know, I mean that first Rickoy minicap, 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.400 that this was going to be the case. Eight years later, 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.360 I probably would have laughed at you, you know what 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:34.840 I mean. But being on this side of him, man, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.320 it's it's definitely sweet man, being able to you know, 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.640 secure my future here and no, I'll be able to 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.120 be here. I always wanted to play for one team, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.760 So knowing and I'm able to be in that position, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.919 they continue to keep that dream alive. It's huge for me. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.760 So the reports say he set to during this season 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.760 twenty one million, that's up from fifteen million, but they 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.040 lowered his cap hit for this coming season to twelve 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.560 and a half millions. That creates almost another seven million 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.960 of cap space for this year. Yeah, so what does 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.240 that mean? Are they going to extend some of the 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.760 current guys like a Byron Murphy or a Jalen Thompson, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.239 or might they go out on the open market looking 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.840 to bolster another position might be from the outside, yeah, Polly, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.840 or might they even look for at Marcus Golden and say, hey, 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.720 you know what I mean, maybe we're gonna do something 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.040 right there. I have no idea, Polly what they're gonna do, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.800 but it is nice that they freed up some seven 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.920 million dollars right there. You know what, I love Polly 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.640 in regard to this offensive line as well, this is 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:31.200 a veteran offensive line, yet it's not decrepit by any 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:36.280 any stretch of the imagination. This is a veteran offensive line. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.119 Yet you can look at these guys. Think about it, Polly, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.320 four the five of course coming back. Four the five 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.360 from last year coming back, and then three of the 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.280 five they've played together four years. When you think about it, right, 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:54.280 DJ Humphreys and Justin Pew and Calvin Beecham, now they've 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.000 played four years. I really really liked the continuity on 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.960 that offensive line and the new addition of Will Hernandez 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:07.440 alongside of Rodney Hudson. That really fills me with an 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.480 awful lot of good feelings, PAULI, because they needed to 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.320 shore up that interior old line. You said it earlier. 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.880 No QB no chance in the NFL. That's one A. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.280 One B would be no offensive line, no chance, and 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.000 offense doesn't matter how many weapons you might have. If 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.960 you have a terrible offensive line, you're going nowhere. So 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.240 Cliff Kingsbury knows the importance of a left tackle like 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.160 DJ Humphreys. He brings a lot of juice, a lot 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.520 of leadership to our team and offense, and he loves 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:36.920 to play the game, so you can fill that out 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.280 there with offense and really big fan of DJ. When 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:41.679 we got here, I think people were still trying to 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.280 figure out if he's gonna make it in this league. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.080 And he's really taken off and become a real integral 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.320 part of what we're trying to do here. And you 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.120 mentioned it. He's a dog. I mean, as big as 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:53.800 he smiles and as good a time he has in 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.520 as great a sense of humor he has during the 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.679 week Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, he is a different 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.080 dude down on the field between the white lines. And 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.520 now he has company in that regard in the new 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.360 right guard, Will Hernandez. A fact, you at a moment 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.200 with Will Hernandez earlier today or last couple of days, Right, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.720 didn't you sit down with Will Hernandez? Yes, as a 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.120 matter of fact, paul I believe that was today, Yes, 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:20.320 there it was today, no doubt today. Is Pauli three 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.840 hundred and thirty six pounds. He told me what his 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.320 way was. I was like, are you three forty because 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.480 I like him at three forty five. I'm just joking, ball, 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.559 are just joking, but the three forty it sounded really 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.640 really good when you looked at him because of the 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:40.560 refrigerator like structure of Will Hernandez and the body that 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.959 is a square dude, Paul. You know, I talk about 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.280 this all the time, how square a dude is. Will 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:53.080 Hernandez is a square dude, man, a wide butt. What 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:54.719 was your old saying that this is back in the 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.120 day and this is old school football. But you got 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.840 the advice from your older brother who had already spent 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.920 five years with the Steelers as a rookie, what was 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.400 the advice, Wilf and I don't get off it. Just 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.480 this the basic piece of advice going into camp as 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.640 a rookie. Well, Polly, it was number one, shut your mouth. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.240 Number two he told me respect everybody. And then number three, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.079 Polly said, pick a fight with the toughest guy on 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.800 the team, because Will Hernandez just had a skirmish with 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.040 JJ Way. I'm just saying, if you want to pick 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.240 somebody out on that field ninety nine and you want 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.720 to make a statement to your new teammates, they got 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.559 into it. I mean they're rooting in a tune a 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.200 little bit right. It wasn't quite wamping in a stomp 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.000 and they cut it off. They were yeah, you know, yeah, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.720 but you know what, Polly, that's gonna happen. You know what. Honestly, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.319 football is an intense game. You're literally trying to drive 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.800 another dude into the ground. That's your intent, that's what 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.720 you're trying to do. When you're you're doing it with malice, 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.000 dare I say, And if you're not, what are you 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.600 doing out on the field? And you know what, he's 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.920 also doing a solid for the starting left guard. Here's 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.360 justin Few asked about the arrival of Will Hernandez earlier today. 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.320 I love having Will here. Will will replace me in 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.839 New York and he was the scrapper there. It must 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.560 be like if you played left guard in New York, 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.200 you just have to fight, because I was. Now I 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.280 don't have to fight. Will's taken over that role. Man. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.560 He's the enforcer out there. Let my old ass, you know, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.079 take a couple of plays off and having a beat 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.280 up d lineman. Um, it's been awesome. He's a great dude, 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.199 great personality, great in the locker room. I couldn't say 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.000 enough good things about Will. I'm real happy he's here. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.240 I've kind of three scraps, so Will Hernandez against three 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.320 different guys at three different times. In fact, I'm gonna 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:32.800 come up with a new hashtag. You know they like 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.680 to say Detroit versus Everybody, It's Will versus Everybody. That's 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.400 my new hashtag. I didn't get it. I'm gonna get 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.760 a T shirt going forget to prove it every day 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.920 t shirt. I'm going with Bill Will versus Everybody? And Polly, 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.800 did I tell you he was a brawler? I told 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.960 you exactly when he showed up. When when the Cardinals said, 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.600 you know what we're signing Will Hernandez, I said, you know, 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.440 they just signed a brawler. This is a guy that 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.960 is known for his run blocking. Of course he's gonna 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.440 have to continue to work on his pass sets. I 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.960 think is really helping him. Talking to Will Hernandez today, 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.200 he was talking about how much help he's really got 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.280 from this veteran offensive line bringing him along where he's 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.640 the baby on this offensive line. He at five years 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.720 in the league. Think about that, Paul, Will is the baby. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.120 He said, he's learned so much from all these other guys. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.079 They've helped him so much. And I man that resonates 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.680 with me because I remember being in that running back 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.080 room when you had guys like Otis Anderson and Stump Mitchell. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.760 I'm talking about pros pros. I'm talking about some of 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.480 the best to ever do it. Man. They helped me 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.920 so much inside of that locker room. And Will Hernandez 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:43.040 here he is at five years in the league. Yeah, 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.720 this is a veteran offensive line and I'm bullish on it. 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.920 And look for all the needs we talked about in 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:52.000 the offseason Wolf the last five months, corner and pass rush. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.320 Right guard was a need that was a liability last 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.959 year Justin Murray went down and the Cardinals never had 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.600 a solid answer at right guard, and it showed up 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.440 at the worst times, including the playoff game. And so 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.199 when you're in a vision with Aaron Donald, you gotta 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:11.280 solidify that position, period and the Cardinals like to think 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.640 they've done just that with Will Hernandez. Hey Episode thirty 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.240 four The Day Pash Podcast featuring Cardinals running back the 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.920 pro bowler James Conner, available now wherever you get your 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:26.040 podcasts and be a Twitter at pashpod. All right, speaking 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.040 of pass rush, Yeah, I mean you're asking yourself, where's 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.320 it going to come from minus Chandler Jones. Well, it 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.560 doesn't have to be from the edge, doesn't have to 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.559 be via the blitz. Are we all forgetting about a 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.080 difference maker? Who might be that guy? This year? He 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.120 is next on this edition to the Big Red Rage 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:50.400 presented by Satan Ford in Gilbert Snap to Lance. He's 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.840 gonna rush up the middle and he's brought down by 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.640 Zach Allen at the twenty two for a loss of 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.400 three on the play snapped the staffer. They get the 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.600 playoffs straight dropped back as time pumps, doggets hit at 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.640 sacked by Allan back in the twenty nine yard line 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.480 and the Cardinal's force upon plants to throw from the 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.199 pocket now steps up, gets hit by Zach Allen and 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.640 sacked at the forty six yard line. Big number ninety 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.000 four has made a couple of plays here today. Back 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.320 to throw Dalton at the screen and it picked off 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.360 Allan on the firesides, got it at the thirty, at 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.160 the twenty, at the fifteen, it tackled by Dalton at 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.600 the eleven yard line, and the fall comes out and 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.760 it's scooped up by Zach Allen at the five and 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:35.560 indie ends up before the touchdown. Well, we're definitely putting 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:39.440 the big into big red rage right now. The aforementioned 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.800 Zach Allen joining us all brought you by santan Ford. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.200 We are santan Ford, Paul KELBC, Ron Wolfley and the 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.080 Cardinals Big d Lineman and Wolf. I feel like we 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.360 should go full disclosure right off the top, considering that 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.480 you tried to book Zack's dog, what are you talking about? 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.040 Your first request for this segment was actually being Zack's dog. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.560 But we can get through to the publicist, you know, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.840 after Cardinal's flight plan and the whole Instagram page and everything, Zac. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.440 So I mean, the popularity of your dog these days 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.120 is remarkable, is it not. Yeah? No, it definitely has 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.680 popped off. I did not expect any of this, so no, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.720 it's it's pretty funny to see it. What kind of 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.960 dog are we talking about? Sorry, Paul, because I did 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.560 not see what you're talking about. Sorry, z Yeah, No, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.200 I have a burning Doodle. So he's half Burnie's Mountain 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.520 dog half doodle. So it's nice because he doesn't shed, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:30.360 but he's awesome. Oh my goodness, is a big dog? No, 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.080 he's only like forty pounds Okay, yeah, he's not too 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.880 too big, but he acts big. He jumps around everywhere. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.400 He still thinks he's a lap dog. But what do 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.480 you attribute the popularity too though? I mean, seriously, come on, no, 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.920 I mean he's adorable. I think it's impossible not to 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.600 love him. So yeah, talk to us a little bit 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.920 about training camp right now. How's your training camp going, Zach? 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.600 It's been great, No, it's awesome, I think, Um, you know, 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.040 it's been really cool for me personally, just coming off 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.320 the surgery and you know how much better I feel 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.520 compared to you know how I felt last year. You know, 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.120 it really cleared up a lot of things for me. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:10.400 And then also working with coach Burke has been awesome 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.080 just learning his style and you know, using what he's 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.240 been teaching us. I think, you know, it's given me 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.520 a lot of successful so far and helping me with 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.080 a lot of productions. So you know, I definitely am 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.080 excited to you know, use it in the games. Now. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.640 How much did the injury impact you last year? I mean, 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.600 now you can tell us so how many games were 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.640 you dealing with that? So I really had it the 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.560 whole season, so it was kind of stem from the 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.240 high ankle spring that I had my second year in 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.000 the league, and then I just kind of rushed back 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.240 into it too fast because I wanted to get back, 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:42.920 you know, So I really was supposed to be like 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.200 a six to eight week injury, but I came back 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.360 in three that second year, finished the season, and then 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.960 I just wanted to, you know, really build off the 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:52.840 momentum because I started playing well towards the end of 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.960 the year, so just you know, full off season and 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.440 it just kind of you know, wear and tear. And 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.440 then finally when we got to, um, you know, that 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.240 Christmas game versus Indianapolis, it was kind of like, okay, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.600 I think we need to take a look at it, 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.160 and we realized how bad it was. But you know, luckily, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.760 um you know, we got a lot of tape and 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.120 we got a lot of to roll, so we're able 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.199 to make it work, you know, because we heard the 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.440 montage there. I mean, you made a lot of plays, 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.600 despite the fact you said, I think earlier in this 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.720 camp you felt flat footed a lot of last Yeah, yeah, no, 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.800 I really did, like it was it was. I mean, 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.520 after playing a game I legitimately couldn't walk on Monday, 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.679 you know, so I would be you know, my girlfriend 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.200 would have to help me down the stairs and then 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.879 you know, just it was kind of a mess, but 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.760 you know, just trying to get it ready, and towards 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.919 the end of the season, I wasn't even practicing, you know, 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.080 it would be kind of hopefully that Friday practice at 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.560 least get some reps in. But yeah, no, it was. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.639 Now it's it's it's amazing, um and I just I 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.720 feel like an athlete again. You know. Last year was 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.720 kind of like the fact that I was able to 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.679 kind of do what I did with it was you know, 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.680 obviously gave me some confidence about, you know, playing this league. 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.040 And that's why I'm so excited about this year. You know, 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.040 knock on wood, stay healthy and just show what I 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.679 could do with you know, with all this progress. You know, 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.040 when I came into the league, I had a really 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.520 really good coach. I had good coaches around me, and 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.119 yet at the same time, the impact that some veterans 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.760 made on me, some veterans inside that running back room, 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.879 what they made on me was significant. I know J J. Watt, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.199 you're really tight with J. J. Watt. Talk about his 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:33.320 impact on you. Yeah, he's helped a bunch obviously, you know, 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.640 from the football standpoint obviously, I mean he knows as 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.159 much about you know, football and being productive in this 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.919 league as anybody that's ever played. But a lot of 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.399 you know, the off the field stuff, like you know, 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.439 with my surgery. It was kind of funny he had 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.879 his surgery and then a few months later I had mine, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.199 So he basically kind of walked me through everything he 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.359 did because I mean his recovery was pretty remarkable to 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.119 come back and only a couple of months from his 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.239 shoulder surgery. So I kind of picked his brain and 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.480 you know, he helped me out a bunch. Um I 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.600 got my surgery and was in Wisconsin, so he was 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:09.320 giving me, you know, all of his best cheese curd recommendations. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.320 But um no, I really definitely you know, he know, 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.480 he knows what he's doing it, um you know, on 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.760 and off the field, and you know he's it's nice 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:20.960 that he's not, you know, kind of being shy about 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.440 that knowledge. He really you know tries to teach us, 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.920 and um, I think that's why he's such a good leader. 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.440 D Lyman Zach Allen, our guest on the Big Red Rage. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.840 So where were you when the scrap broke out between 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.960 JJ Watt and Bill Hernandez the other day. It was 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:36.960 funny because that was like the so JJ and I 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.280 were in together and that was our last play like 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.000 before you know, we were going to switch it out. 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:42.600 So I started walking. All of a sudden, you just 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:44.320 hear the you know, the horns going, So I was like, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.200 what the heck? So you obviously you're going to go help, 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.120 and you know the D line. We're a close group, 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.040 so everybody you know, starts running in. But it was 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.160 probably one of the softer fights. I'm not gonna lie, 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.199 you know. I mean they just you know, it was 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.439 just a big push in match and you know, no 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.359 punches were thrown. So you haven't had a good scrap yet, 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.040 so I mean, obviously coaches don't want that, but you 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.160
