Speaker 1: Strap on the boots and scrape up the knuckles. Oh ahead,
Speaker 1: he got jacked. This is the big red Rail presented
Speaker 1: by satan Ford in Gilbert. Mary's Gonna score touchdown Slam
Speaker 1: to the ground by Buddha Baker Like a torpedo. He
Speaker 1: came flying into the backfield. The rage is brought to

Speaker 1: taking over. Here's Paul Calvci. I'm ready. I'm one hundred
Speaker 1: percent ready. I'm telling you I'm ready. And Ron Wolflee,
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the fjard,
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to the Arizona Cardinals head
Speaker 1: Coaching Search two thousand and twenty three, when it comes
Speaker 1: to casting that net far and wide. My opinion, thanks
Speaker 1: for asking, Ron Wolfley. I don't really care about the when,
Speaker 1: or the where or even the how. I ultimately just
Speaker 1: care about the who and the why, and then the
Speaker 1: who else? Who's that coach bringing along as part of
Speaker 1: his staff. That's all I care about, because once upon
Speaker 1: a time, the Arizona Cardinals were what they were dead
Speaker 1: last in hiring Bruce Arians. Did that work out pretty well?
Speaker 1: Were their immediate returns on investment from that higher once
Speaker 1: upon a time twenty thirteen, Yes, there were rhetorical question
Speaker 1: ten years ago that was the case. So okay, we're
Speaker 1: going to get into all this and more on this
Speaker 1: addition to the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are Santanford, Paul KLVCI, Ron Wolfley, and
Speaker 1: speaking of who our big guest tonight, Drew Stanton, because
Speaker 1: the former Cardinals quarterback and longtime NFL quarterback. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's had first time head coaches, he's had experienced head coaches,
Speaker 1: he's had offensive and defensive head coaches. He's had anybody
Speaker 1: and everybody under the sun, and so we'll get his
Speaker 1: thoughts and also he's had a rehab from season ending injuries.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Kyler and Monty and Penning free agents,
Speaker 1: but right now we're on woefully your thoughts and just
Speaker 1: where things stand with his head coaching search. As yet
Speaker 1: another interview was conducted today reportedly with Brian Callahan, the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator. Yeah, POULI you know, for me,
Speaker 1: I've got to start with this. I got to start
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray himself right now. Well, we're
Speaker 1: talking about Sean Payton of course out there in whether
Speaker 1: or not Sean Payton was going to be the perfect
Speaker 1: fit to get Kyler Murray right. And we're talking about
Speaker 1: defensive minded coaches. You know how much I like defensive
Speaker 1: minded coaches coming in here to be the next head
Speaker 1: coach for the Arizona Cardinals. How are they going to
Speaker 1: impact Kyler Murray? You know it, As I've been saying
Speaker 1: for weeks, Paully, does Kyler Murray think he's got to
Speaker 1: get right? Does Kyler Murray think you have to answer
Speaker 1: that question? I think first, Paully, and I think Kyler
Speaker 1: knows that. I think this rehab is an excellent opportunity
Speaker 1: for Kyler to come to the waters and be water,
Speaker 1: so to speak, and allow himself to learn the game
Speaker 1: of football all over again and recommit himself to becoming
Speaker 1: the best que he can be. Polly, that has got
Speaker 1: to happen first. Only then will whoever the head coach
Speaker 1: is for the Arizona Cardinals and the next head coach.
Speaker 1: Only then will he be able to actually improve Kyler's game.
Speaker 1: All right, So like this week, Brian Callahan interviewed today,
Speaker 1: reportedly former quarterback coach with the Lions and the Raiders
Speaker 1: and obviously with Cincinnati and Lou Amarumo. He was a yesterday.
Speaker 1: Now he's a defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. On Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Mike Kafka, the offensive coordinator for the Giants, also known
Speaker 1: as a quarterback guru. He worked with Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 1: look at the be foreign after this year when he
Speaker 1: came on board with the Giants and Daniel Jones. But
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued. Why are you intrigued by a defensive head coach? Yeah, PAULI,
Speaker 1: that's a great question, it really is. But largely because
Speaker 1: of three three things. Number One, it gives that head
Speaker 1: coach who's a defensive minded head coach. It gives separation
Speaker 1: to Kyler Murray. I doubt he's going to be the
Speaker 1: quarterback coach. I doubt he's going to be the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: I doubt he's going to meddle in any of that.
Speaker 1: He's basically going to be separated from a lot of
Speaker 1: the day to day, the meeting to meeting, the practice
Speaker 1: to practice. He's going to be separated from Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: a lot. I like that. I think they need to
Speaker 1: bring a guy in who is going to be a
Speaker 1: true alpha mel He's going to be the guy. I'm
Speaker 1: the head coach. You're the quarterback, you're the defensive tackle,
Speaker 1: you're the offensive tackle. You guys are players. I'm the
Speaker 1: head coach. I'm going to command this room. I'm going
Speaker 1: to command this room. I think that's important. Polly. You
Speaker 1: know that I'm old school. I'm not going to apologize
Speaker 1: for being that, but I think that's the next head
Speaker 1: coach coming in here. That's job one for him. So
Speaker 1: a true CEO just by default, because you're a defensive
Speaker 1: minded head coach, that's separate. Yeah, that's number one, Polly.
Speaker 1: Number two, we've got young defensive players, of course on
Speaker 1: this roster that are really really good guys like Isaiah
Speaker 1: Simmons and Zaven Collins and Marco Wilsons and oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you actually take somebody with a number
Speaker 1: three pick overall, there's a real good chance that's going
Speaker 1: to be a defensive player as well. Now you've got
Speaker 1: these young guys, Polly, that you want to bring along,
Speaker 1: and I think having a defensive minded head coach will
Speaker 1: really benefit them. Plus, I think defense could be a
Speaker 1: strength when you factor in improvement from Zaven Collins and
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons and Marco Wilson and Buddha Baker. We all
Speaker 1: know good he is, Jalen Thompson, Zach Allen, Paul, if
Speaker 1: you can sign Zach Allen and bring him back, and
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy as well, those two I think are really
Speaker 1: critical signings bringing back this offseason as unrestricted free agents.
Speaker 1: So I think that's number two Paulie and number three
Speaker 1: for me. It's just the fact the defensive minded head
Speaker 1: coach has the kind of mentality more than not, Paul
Speaker 1: every defensive coordinator I have been around, or a defensive
Speaker 1: minded head coach, they just have a mentality that focuses
Speaker 1: more on the physicality of the game, and I like that.
Speaker 1: It's a big red rage. In fact, we're gonna ask
Speaker 1: Drew stand about some of those penning free agents next.
Speaker 1: I'm also going to ask him about first time head
Speaker 1: coach versus experienced head coach, because when you look at
Speaker 1: the list as it stands right now, with three teams
Speaker 1: having made their hires, the Carolina Panthers going for Frank Wright,
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos Sean Payton, Houston Texans Demiko Ryans, and it
Speaker 1: sounds like that's preordained from the get go, Damiko Ryan's
Speaker 1: being a longtime team captain with the Texans, his wife
Speaker 1: being from the Houston area. So if you look at
Speaker 1: the Cardinals list, there are three prominent names who are
Speaker 1: defensive guys. Brian Flores, former head coach in the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: who's interviewed, of course, Vance Joseph Cardinals defensive coordinator, former
Speaker 1: head coach of the Broncos back in the day when
Speaker 1: his quarterback was like Trevor Simeon. And then Detroit defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Aaron Glenn, who reportedly will have a second interview
Speaker 1: upcoming with the Cardinals. Now, two of those three were
Speaker 1: former head coaches. How important is that to you in
Speaker 1: the mix? Yeah, it is important to me. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean I'm right on that, Polly, you know, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make that really really clear. But for me,
Speaker 1: I like a guy that has head coaching experience right now,
Speaker 1: for me, if you're just asking me, Polly, there are
Speaker 1: two guys, and it's Brian Flores and Vance Joseph. Those
Speaker 1: two guys right there that I would love to see
Speaker 1: get hired. Now, I know you can only hire one
Speaker 1: of them. But take Brian Flores. I think he might
Speaker 1: be the front runner. And the reason why I say
Speaker 1: that for two reasons. Largely Number one is Monti assen
Speaker 1: Forts and his relationship with Monty and they worked together
Speaker 1: PAULI right back in the Patriots Organization for a lot
Speaker 1: of years, and well at least Monty did, of course,
Speaker 1: but they worked together in the Patriot Organization, and you know,
Speaker 1: so I like that exposure to each other. Maybe they've
Speaker 1: got a little bit of Billicheck in him in regard
Speaker 1: to the synergy and how Bill thinks. So I like that,
Speaker 1: And also too, I would say the outsider, the outsider
Speaker 1: approach of bringing in up Brian Flores where he really
Speaker 1: doesn't know Kyler Murray on a professional level, where they're
Speaker 1: working day in and day out together, I think somebody
Speaker 1: outside the organization has a better chance of producing real
Speaker 1: change in this offense with Kyler Murray. Of course, at
Speaker 1: the helm I could be wrong on that, Paulie. But
Speaker 1: I think the familiarity with Vance Joseph in the season
Speaker 1: that was twenty twenty two actually works against fans and
Speaker 1: that sucks. Buttermilk, it's not fair. It isn't but it's
Speaker 1: a reality. I think it is. I get it. You
Speaker 1: know you're guilty by association in a lot of ways
Speaker 1: with a four and thirteen campaign. I'll just say this
Speaker 1: in regards to Vance Joseph, if you're looking for someone
Speaker 1: with immediate inside knowledge, yes, of where the solutions are
Speaker 1: and where the problems are and maybe which players fit
Speaker 1: under either category heading, Vance Joseph knows as well as anyone. Yes,
Speaker 1: he comes in with that competitive advantage. Now, whether he's
Speaker 1: too Pollie, I just want to jump in. You know
Speaker 1: who knows that best is the Arizona Cardinals, the organization
Speaker 1: and Michael Michael Bidwell of course, and they know that best.
Speaker 1: What is going to work with Kyler? Is it gonna
Speaker 1: be maybe somebody I'm not saying they're just going to
Speaker 1: do it because it's somebody from the outside, but is
Speaker 1: it going to be somebody from the outside or somebody
Speaker 1: from the within that they already know Kyler Murray? Interesting question.
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing that when you held the interview with
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph, it was probably a lot more advanced and
Speaker 1: detailed about the state of the team and the roster, yeah,
Speaker 1: and what he would do and who would stay and
Speaker 1: who would go than any other candidate, just because he
Speaker 1: has such an internal knowledge from the past four years.
Speaker 1: The other thing that we don't know what might separate
Speaker 1: every one of these candidates is who's the coordinator they're
Speaker 1: bringing with him. If you're a defensive guy like Brian
Speaker 1: Floores Advanced Joseph, who's your rose that could be a
Speaker 1: deciding factor obviously, just like one of these defensive guys,
Speaker 1: you know, are offensive guy with their defensive coordinator. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's episode fifty five of The Day Pash Podcast, featuring
Speaker 1: actor and comedian Frank Caliando. I laughed just thinking about it.
Speaker 1: It's a great listen be its wit er find it
Speaker 1: at Pashpod. Drew stand former Cardinals quarterback, next on The
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage. I feel like the experiences that I've
Speaker 1: had at the three organizations that I've been with, I'm
Speaker 1: going to take pieces from each of those organizations. Things
Speaker 1: that I've learned, things that I liked processes that I'll keep,
Speaker 1: but I'm also going to put my own spin on them.
Speaker 1: This is not a wastrius and repeat of someplace else.
Speaker 1: What works in one building is not just easily transferable
Speaker 1: to another building, but there are foundational elements that can
Speaker 1: be taken from each of those buildings and has helped
Speaker 1: form who I am. And that's what I'm going to
Speaker 1: bring here to this organization as we continue this move
Speaker 1: to make the football operations the way we want them
Speaker 1: to run. As new GM Monte Austin Ford searching for
Speaker 1: a new head coach, the most definitely will be a
Speaker 1: new roster and will sometime soon, at least according to Fox,
Speaker 1: There'll be a new number one analyst in the booth,
Speaker 1: earning three hundred and seventy five million dollars over ten years.
Speaker 1: That would have clips the three hundred thirty three million
Speaker 1: he made during his twenty three year playing career. Those
Speaker 1: are the contract numbers of Tom Brady. Of course, Tony
Speaker 1: Romo earns ten years, one hundred eighty million with CBS.
Speaker 1: I'm just throw that out there because you know, at
Speaker 1: some point, maybe in the future, the two of us
Speaker 1: will be saying, you know, once upon a time we
Speaker 1: were on Cardinals broadcasts with former Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton,
Speaker 1: who's now earning the big money in a big booth
Speaker 1: somewhere on network TV. But that is in the future.
Speaker 1: For now, it is the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: Santan Ford and Gilbert Paul KLBC, Ron Wolfley and Drew Stanton,
Speaker 1: who does or does not have designs on trying to
Speaker 1: go ahead and pursue network TV at some point, Drew,
Speaker 1: what is your future career path? That's a great question.
Speaker 1: If there's any correlation between their playing careers how much
Speaker 1: money they made, then I'm probably gonna have to go
Speaker 1: a different direction than those guys. So, you know, I've
Speaker 1: enjoyed being a part of the Cardinals broadcasting team. It's
Speaker 1: been great to be able to spend time with you
Speaker 1: guys and see it from a different lens. And the
Speaker 1: thing that's been most exciting for me is kind of
Speaker 1: being able to be an analyst from the standpoint of
Speaker 1: educating from a player's perspective. Not that Wolf doesn't do
Speaker 1: a good job of that, We just, you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: the varying viewpoints. No, that is honestly, it's a great
Speaker 1: answer by you and it's a great observation as well.
Speaker 1: Speaking of observing, what about the coaching search that is
Speaker 1: going on right now, whether Arizona Cardinals. What is your
Speaker 1: general overall thoughts on what is happening right now? Drew, Well,
Speaker 1: you know we talked about it on the Red Sea Report.
Speaker 1: They wanted to cast a wide net and they needed
Speaker 1: to be able to do it and get a general
Speaker 1: manager in place. And as we heard Monteasinfort talk about,
Speaker 1: he is going to be a product of his experiences
Speaker 1: that he's been. He's bet in some great places. It's
Speaker 1: all about collaboration, right. You have to have a leader,
Speaker 1: but then you have to be able to take feedback.
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to take criticism, and there's
Speaker 1: going to be errors along the way. You have to
Speaker 1: be able to correct those errors. You've got to get
Speaker 1: on the same page and you've got to find a
Speaker 1: head coach with the same vision as you. And it
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to be an exits and os guy.
Speaker 1: It's got to be a guy that's going to stand
Speaker 1: up in front of the room, commander room, be a
Speaker 1: leader of men that can motivate guys, can connect with
Speaker 1: all guys on the roster in the building. You know,
Speaker 1: the gate head coaches that I've been around, they do
Speaker 1: it a lot of different ways, and there's no two
Speaker 1: ways that you have to do it. You just have
Speaker 1: to authentically be yourself. And they're coming into a situation, well, look,
Speaker 1: you've got to get the most out of a franchise
Speaker 1: quarterback that's coming off of an injury. You've got some
Speaker 1: pieces in place, but there's also a ton of question marks.
Speaker 1: Drew to what degree does the team take on the
Speaker 1: identity of its head coach? Oh, I think completely right.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the most exposure that we have when
Speaker 1: we are in season, and Wolf can attest to this
Speaker 1: is the men in that locker room, and it's the
Speaker 1: people that you're around and all these things. And look,
Speaker 1: if there's a great culture that exists and people are
Speaker 1: excited to go to work and you are looking at
Speaker 1: your head coach and he's empowering you, pushing you and
Speaker 1: doing all the things that you need to do throughout
Speaker 1: the course of a grueling season, you're going to be
Speaker 1: better off for it. And then you're going to come
Speaker 1: together and every year is different. No two years are
Speaker 1: the same in the NFL. I mean, you can look
Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville, right, you see urban Meyer, a college
Speaker 1: coach that doesn't really fit Boom. You insert a very
Speaker 1: similar roster with a completely different human being as a
Speaker 1: head coach, and he'd instilled confidence them. He was a
Speaker 1: whole different shift culturally in one season, which it's possible
Speaker 1: you've seen this occur. But at the same time, you
Speaker 1: have to have conviction of the head coach. You have
Speaker 1: to have things that you're going to stand on and
Speaker 1: a foundation, much like Bruce arians of trust, loyalty, and respect. Right,
Speaker 1: those were words that meant something to us. That's what
Speaker 1: we took on of trusting the person next to you,
Speaker 1: respecting your teammates, respecting the game, respecting all of these things.
Speaker 1: And you've got to be able to trust the process
Speaker 1: that it's going to take to get there, because sometimes
Speaker 1: it's not going to be pretty, it's not going to
Speaker 1: be easy. But it's a group of men. That's the
Speaker 1: band of brothers. They came together through thick and thin
Speaker 1: that when it comes time to be able to rely
Speaker 1: on them, you know, without a shadow of a doubt
Speaker 1: the person next to you is in the flight with you.
Speaker 1: Really don't want to drive this into the ground at all.
Speaker 1: But where were you on the Sean Payton um search
Speaker 1: and whether or not Sean Payton was going to be
Speaker 1: the next head coach for the Arizona Cardinals And where
Speaker 1: would you like to see the Cardinals go after Sean Payton?
Speaker 1: Are you referencing when I stuck my split in my
Speaker 1: mouth on Tuesday and said Sean Payton only wanted the
Speaker 1: Dallas job. It did, Paul, I didn't know. I didn't know,
Speaker 1: but I love them. I am smiling because we were
Speaker 1: both wrong, Drew, So there you go, Yeah, yeah, you know, right.
Speaker 1: So and anyways, Uh, that's the thing with the owners.
Speaker 1: They have the ability to write these these checks that
Speaker 1: they can cash, so they went out and got Sean Payton.
Speaker 1: I think he would have been a tremendous higher here, right.
Speaker 1: I think that when you look at a head coach,
Speaker 1: there's a certain set of requirements and when you look
Speaker 1: at the offensive court, it is a completely different set
Speaker 1: of circumstances. He is the one unique person that I
Speaker 1: think can do both of those jobs extremely well. And
Speaker 1: it's hard to find the balance to be able to
Speaker 1: manage a game. And when we saw it firsthand with Cliff,
Speaker 1: it's really hard to be able to do both of
Speaker 1: those extremely well at a high level in a high
Speaker 1: press or situation and make a split second decision and
Speaker 1: have it be right or have it not. The second
Speaker 1: guest by everybody. So Sean Payton is a lead from
Speaker 1: the standpoint of the personnelity he puts on the field,
Speaker 1: how comfortable he makes the quarterback. He is going to
Speaker 1: find what your weaknesses and he's going to expose it.
Speaker 1: If he needs to run the ball forty times, if
Speaker 1: he needs to throw the ball forty times, or be
Speaker 1: completely balanced, he has the capability to disperse the ball
Speaker 1: and do so many things and create mismatches. And that's
Speaker 1: really what you're looking for. Offensively, you want to be
Speaker 1: the aggressor. Sean has done that, but he's done it
Speaker 1: masterfully as far as having control of an entire organization.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why they were just so good for
Speaker 1: so long and why he was so highly sought after.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's unfortunate that they couldn't get it
Speaker 1: done here. He is going to have success wherever he goes.
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that. But you look at what's here,
Speaker 1: what's now, and again, what needs to be done as
Speaker 1: far as this organization, and Manti Asenfort is going to
Speaker 1: put his stamp on it and hire the person he
Speaker 1: thinks is best fit to be able to take this
Speaker 1: nucleus and build, as he said, not just for next year,
Speaker 1: but an organization that has sustainable success. Last question on
Speaker 1: the head coaching search, it's Drew Stand on the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage present of by santan Ford and Gilbert first
Speaker 1: time head coach versus an experienced head coach. How big
Speaker 1: a deal is that to you? Vance, Joseph, Brian Flores,
Speaker 1: former head coaches, you know, candidates like today's INTERVIEWEE Brian
Speaker 1: Callahan yesterday Lou and Rumo. You know, if you have
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn coming in reportedly for a second interview, those
Speaker 1: guys would be first time head coaches. How big a
Speaker 1: deal do you think that is? Demanti Asenfort, You know,
Speaker 1: that's a great question. I don't think it necessarily is
Speaker 1: a requirement to have head coaching experience. I think sometimes
Speaker 1: the perception of ben there, done that, or some of
Speaker 1: these guys that haven't had success. Can they learn from
Speaker 1: their failures? Can they make those corrections to the errors
Speaker 1: that maybe transpired to them getting fired? In the first place.
Speaker 1: I think again it comes down to is there a
Speaker 1: plan in place that people feel comfortable about, and then
Speaker 1: you know that plan is going to have to adjust overtime.
Speaker 1: It's going to have to adapt throughout the course of
Speaker 1: a season between roster manipulation and all of these things
Speaker 1: of what that initial vision is going to be. And
Speaker 1: I honestly think that so many NFL organizations are trying
Speaker 1: to get ahead of the curve. That's why we saw
Speaker 1: the Sean mcvayh's of the world get hired so young
Speaker 1: and have success, because it doesn't have to have a
Speaker 1: direct correlation between experience and all of this stuff. I
Speaker 1: remember talking with a coach when I was in the
Speaker 1: NFL and play, and you know, he always referred to
Speaker 1: the number of years that he had in the NFL coaching,
Speaker 1: and I was like, that doesn't automatically make you a
Speaker 1: coach just based off of that. You know, thirty years
Speaker 1: of bad she can still be thirty years of bad coaching.
Speaker 1: So I say that in reference to young guys that
Speaker 1: are energized and can come in there and have an
Speaker 1: infectious personality. I think there's pros and cons to experience
Speaker 1: or also again based off of what was at their disposal.
Speaker 1: Some of these head coaches that are younger, you know,
Speaker 1: might have been handcuffed their first time around, I might
Speaker 1: not have had the opportunity to really put their imprint
Speaker 1: on it. And so again, I think it's more about
Speaker 1: the candidate really than looking at does he have head
Speaker 1: coaching experience? So drew in terms of the free agents
Speaker 1: that the Arizona Cardinals have on their team unrestricted free
Speaker 1: agents and who you would like to see them bring back,
Speaker 1: thinking of Zach Allen and Byron Murphy and Kelvin Beecham
Speaker 1: and Will Hernandez in particular, where do you start when
Speaker 1: you look at those four guys in particular, and what
Speaker 1: do you think about bringing them back? Yeah, look, I
Speaker 1: think they've been great contributors and any team that I
Speaker 1: been a part of and any team that was any good,
Speaker 1: and you look at even now the super Bowl teams,
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to win in the trenches.
Speaker 1: And that's again I've got an easy cop out answer
Speaker 1: from a quarterbacks perspective, but I would make an effort
Speaker 1: to look at the consistency that you got out of
Speaker 1: Calibm Beacham this year and started as many games as
Speaker 1: he did well. Hernandez was on a one year deal.
Speaker 1: I would love to bring those guys back to keep
Speaker 1: some continuity. Byron Murphy had a back injury, couldn't play,
Speaker 1: but was playing at a high level, trying to earn
Speaker 1: that second contract. And again, Zach Allen has just taken
Speaker 1: off every year he's gotten better healthy. He had a
Speaker 1: tremendous year. The problem is always going to be, you know,
Speaker 1: the salary cap. But if you can find a way
Speaker 1: to get those four guys back in the building, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a huge asset again of just the
Speaker 1: familiarity of what it means and the pride that it
Speaker 1: takes to be a part of this organization. Right super Bowl. Look,
Speaker 1: we could get into, you know, a lot of different angles.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you one specific from a quarterback perspective,
Speaker 1: from the perspective of Jail and Hurts and that offensive
Speaker 1: staff with the Eagles, Kansas City runs out there, three
Speaker 1: rookie corners and a rookie safety who are regulars. Why
Speaker 1: hasn't anyone really been able to expose that yet? And
Speaker 1: do you think the Eagles will? Well, I think that
Speaker 1: it's tough to expose because they get after the quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: it's hard to throw the ball when you're on your back.
Speaker 1: And you know, as much as Spags wants to pressure you,
Speaker 1: as the defensive coordinator, who's going to come and bring
Speaker 1: different looks and do all these things. And I'm just
Speaker 1: so curious to see if one of these teams can
Speaker 1: jump out to a lead, because both of them have
Speaker 1: shown capability of jumping on people early and never looking
Speaker 1: back and being able to do these things. And these
Speaker 1: are two dynamic quarterbacks, two quarterbacks that obviously are at
Speaker 1: the top of what it takes to be elite in
Speaker 1: the MVP race for this year, and it's going to
Speaker 1: be extremely difficult. At the same time, I think with
Speaker 1: the background that they have and the experience they've had.
Speaker 1: Now again, these rookies are coming in so prepared. It's
Speaker 1: not like you know, back in the when you might
Speaker 1: not know what's going on or any of these things.
Speaker 1: And look, they're also if you're bringing a bunch of pressure,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna be playing man demand. And all you
Speaker 1: gotta do when you're playing man demand is guard the
Speaker 1: guy across from you. Now, the guys across from them
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl just so happened to be all
Speaker 1: the variations of Batman, and so you've got to deal
Speaker 1: with a j. Brown and DeVante Smith and Quez Walking.
Speaker 1: They are a dynamic group and that is what makes
Speaker 1: them so difficult to defend, is they have the capability
Speaker 1: to disperse the ball to so many different people that
Speaker 1: every single guy on that defense is going to have
Speaker 1: to be able to cover down. They're gonna have to
Speaker 1: be able to hold their own and they do it
Speaker 1: through different looks. They try to disguise. They'll put safeties
Speaker 1: over the top and double people, but there's only so
Speaker 1: many guys you can double when you are out there
Speaker 1: on a football field, and quarterbacks are capable of finding
Speaker 1: those one on one matchups. And then you also throw
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard into the mix and it's like, okay, they've
Speaker 1: got a very good tight end. Not quite as good
Speaker 1: as Jason Travis Kelsey at this point, but again, the
Speaker 1: amount of star power on each of these offenses is
Speaker 1: just tremendous and it's going to be so much fun
Speaker 1: to watch the Super Bowl. So when you think of
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in this Super Bowl, and you said quarterbacks
Speaker 1: an awful lot there, Drew being part of the quarterback club.
Speaker 1: So I understand that. But my friend, when you look
Speaker 1: at this, when you look at Jalen Hurts and Pat Mahomes,
Speaker 1: of course, what are your first thoughts on the quarterback
Speaker 1: matchup in the Super Bowl. Well, I think the first
Speaker 1: thing is is you look at Patrick Mahomes and I
Speaker 1: am just completely enamored with what he's been able to
Speaker 1: accover and I really think you go back to the beginning.
Speaker 1: I mean, we were all unfortunately witnessed that game one
Speaker 1: against the Arizona car. He came into this season on
Speaker 1: a mission. I think he had enough talk of Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow and Josh Allen and everybody else about how all
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks are so elite, and he didn't do
Speaker 1: anything except for put his head down and just go
Speaker 1: to work. He just worked, and you can see there's
Speaker 1: a different tone, there's a different demeanor, there's a different
Speaker 1: pep in his step. That though he's accomplished a lot
Speaker 1: and they've hosted five straight AFC Championship games, he realizes, Hey,
Speaker 1: our windows wide open right now. Much like Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: talked about, these guys have to be able to capitalize.
Speaker 1: And then you look at somebody across from him, and
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts that just methodically has just taken his time. Again,
Speaker 1: that has taken a lot of hardship, is dealt with
Speaker 1: trial as well of okay, well he got bets for
Speaker 1: two and then you know, had to sit out and
Speaker 1: then all of these things. Second round pick just getting
Speaker 1: a chance to biden his time, but then when the
Speaker 1: time comes, he makes the most of it. And again
Speaker 1: it's just this the persona of these guys, and that's
Speaker 1: really what these teams take on, right. You look at
Speaker 1: what they're able to do with the number one Seeds,
Speaker 1: and these quarterbacks are the leaders, the unquestionable leaders in
Speaker 1: that locker room, and you see that personality carry over
Speaker 1: to everybody. And when his play needs to be made,
Speaker 1: they're looking at these guys to make it. There's no
Speaker 1: question in their mind that either one of them are
Speaker 1: able to go out there and win a football game
Speaker 1: for you. So again, this is exactly what the NFL wants.
Speaker 1: Two number one seeds, a marquee matchup, two unbelievable quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: two phenomenal teams. Right, and I think you look at
Speaker 1: all of the storylines that go into it, between Sirianni
Speaker 1: being in Kansas City, and then obviously Andy Reid being
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia for as long as he was. It is
Speaker 1: the hype is going to be real and it's going
Speaker 1: to be an exciting game. Yeah, it's first team All
Speaker 1: Pro against second team All Pro and Patrick Mahomes against
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. All right, down the stretch we come with
Speaker 1: Drew stan former Cardinals quarterback. Let's run the no huddle here,
Speaker 1: Drew a quick response, rapid fire on three quarterback questions?
Speaker 1: Number one? Do you believe your former Tampa teammate Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is retired? Done? You think he's done with his
Speaker 1: NFL playing days? Yes? Okay, all right, good Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1: Do you think he's done in Green Bay? Does he
Speaker 1: play at Lambeau or elsewhere? Next year? Green Bay and
Speaker 1: the Niners quarterback situation, Trey Lance or Brock Purty, where
Speaker 1: do you think they end up going when it's all
Speaker 1: said and done, when they're all both healthy? Oh? I
Speaker 1: think I think they'll both be in San Francisco. Really? WHOA,
Speaker 1: it's affordable, right? I mean Brock Purty as the last
Speaker 1: pick of the draft and you traded three first round
Speaker 1: picks or Trey Lance, So I'm guessing you're not going
Speaker 1: to get nearly that much if you trade him away,
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're probably And that might be why Tom
Speaker 1: Brady retired because he realized the Niners aren't going to
Speaker 1: bring him into his former hometown team. Maybe just maybe, yeah,
Speaker 1: or twenty three years, there's plenty of that's true. And
Speaker 1: an he has ten years, three hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: million awaiting him as become full circles, So that could
Speaker 1: be it. Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, Drew, thank you
Speaker 1: as always, we appreciate the insight. And uh and and
Speaker 1: you know what I tell you. You look at this, uh,
Speaker 1: you look at this super Bowl coming up should be
Speaker 1: a good one. The last NFL MVP to win a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And I bring that up because Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: and Jamalin Hurts are both among the five finalists for
Speaker 1: the award. Would you care to guess there's a Cardinals
Speaker 1: connection to the last guy to win NFL MVP and
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in the same season, Ron Wolfley, Drew Stantard,
Speaker 1: there is a big picture of him. I'm staring at
Speaker 1: right now. Number thirteen. Kurt Warner nineteen ninety nine, the
Speaker 1: last regular season MVP and super Bowl winner in NFL history. Drew,
Speaker 1: thank you appreciate it. Of course I always did a
Speaker 1: document he gets Drew. There you go, Drew Stanton on
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: We are santan Ford. More on the Chiefs. Do you
Speaker 1: hear what Travis Kelsey said about the key to a
Speaker 1: team that is in its third Super Bowl in four years?
Speaker 1: That is next on the Big Red Rage and over
Speaker 1: the champions City Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: for the third time in four years. The Chiefs win
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship and get revenge against the Bengals twenty
Speaker 1: three to twenty The final arrowhead it'll be the Chiefs
Speaker 1: and the Eagles in Super Bowl fifty seven. Right here
Speaker 1: in the az I in Eagle Westwood won. That was
Speaker 1: the final call the AFC Championship as the Chiefs beat
Speaker 1: the Bengals and they advanced to Super Bowl. Sunday, February twelfth,
Speaker 1: Paul KALVC Ron Wolfley The Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: santan Ford in Gilbert, we Are santan Ford. Funny how
Speaker 1: the last two teams standing wolf are elite when it
Speaker 1: comes to the quarterback and getting to the quarterback. Funny
Speaker 1: how that works, right, Yeah, now you're right about that, Paul.
Speaker 1: Yet it maybe the team that runs the ball the
Speaker 1: best in this Super Bowl that ends up winning the game, right,
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, if you're asking me for my
Speaker 1: key to the game, you know, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save that for a little bit later. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say this. You know, you look at the Cardinals
Speaker 1: and obviously in special thanks to Drew Standon and that
Speaker 1: was some great stuff talking about the head coaching search
Speaker 1: and beyond. But look at the two rosters, look at
Speaker 1: the talent both sides have just piled up, right, both gms.
Speaker 1: In fact, Travis Kelsey and we talked about this with Drew.
Speaker 1: Here's the quote I was talking about. When Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: was asked about this success of a Chiefs team that's
Speaker 1: been to five straight AFC Championships that's in the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl for the third time in four years. His quote was,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever heard of a guy
Speaker 1: named Brett Veach who's the Chiefs GM, but he has
Speaker 1: brought in some amazing talent, says Travis Kelsey. He put
Speaker 1: this team together where the best team in the AFC
Speaker 1: because of what he's been able to do on top
Speaker 1: of what these coaches have been able to do in
Speaker 1: terms of teaching these guys how to make plays. And
Speaker 1: at the end of that game, there were rookies everywhere
Speaker 1: for Kansas City making places in the secondary on the
Speaker 1: punt return by sky More, the seventh round rookie running
Speaker 1: back Isaiah Pacheco, who's running back one right Now, you
Speaker 1: know they were able to lose talent but add talent
Speaker 1: via the draft, and it just shows you if you
Speaker 1: get that element of it right, you can be competitive
Speaker 1: right away. Now, You're right, Polly, that you can be competitive.
Speaker 1: We see it all the time in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: We see the worst to first. It's across the league.
Speaker 1: That's something that I think is well established. We see
Speaker 1: teams go from first to worse as a matter of fact.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of movement that can happen, of
Speaker 1: course in the National Football League. This game, this game,
Speaker 1: I think is going to be a great matchup. I
Speaker 1: hope it doesn't turn into a shootout, but I kind
Speaker 1: of feel like it will, Paul, really, okay, I do.
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like it will. When you've got
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Of course in the Kansas City Chiefs. You're
Speaker 1: talking about the number one team in the National Football
Speaker 1: League in terms of scoring points, the Kansas City chief Right,
Speaker 1: They're gonna score points, and so is the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, this is going to be a shootout.
Speaker 1: The quarterback that protects the ball, of course, and the
Speaker 1: offensive line that protects the quarterback. I think that is
Speaker 1: going to be the key going forward. What's one of
Speaker 1: the ways you can actually protect that quarterback? You line
Speaker 1: up and you run the ball. Can the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs remain balanced enough to knock it one dimensional in
Speaker 1: this game? Because the Eagles pass rush is no joke.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs PAULI number two in the National Football League
Speaker 1: in terms of sacks per attempt allowed protecting Pat Mahomes.
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes does not get sacked, he doesn't turn the
Speaker 1: ball over their number two in third down offense. This
Speaker 1: is a high powered, well looped machined offensively, and the
Speaker 1: only thing that can deral it is the pass rush
Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia Eagles. Course, the first game of this
Speaker 1: season regular season, we saw Patrick Mahomes in person in
Speaker 1: the same stadium where this season will conclude State Farm Stadium,
Speaker 1: and he couldn't have been more impressive for a regular
Speaker 1: season debut. Three touchdown drives in the first three possessions.
Speaker 1: What did you see in the AFC Championship with a
Speaker 1: banged up Patrick Mahomes. How much more did your respect
Speaker 1: grow for him in his game? You know the answer
Speaker 1: to that, Polly. Honestly, I mean we all, we all,
Speaker 1: I think, appreciate Patrick Mahomes, the humble guy that he is,
Speaker 1: for being the incredible talent that he is, the great
Speaker 1: quarterback that he is. He's body, soul, and spirit. He
Speaker 1: really is the threefold nature of a man, Polly. I'm
Speaker 1: going to get all metaphysical on you right here, but
Speaker 1: it's it's the way that I believe and watch football.
Speaker 1: I see it through the prism of body, soul and spirit.
Speaker 1: And Patrick Mahomes has it all. He's got the spirit,
Speaker 1: he's got the brain, of course, and he works at
Speaker 1: his job and his teammates love him and respect him
Speaker 1: because a bit he's got the guts. We all know
Speaker 1: about the physical talent of Pat Mahomes, the arm angles,
Speaker 1: the incredible talent that he is physically, but it's the guts.
Speaker 1: It's the soul of Pat Mahomes and that was on
Speaker 1: display for all to see in that AFC Championship game
Speaker 1: on that third down where he ran out of bounds
Speaker 1: to end the game. PAULI, I thought it was gonna
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be over. Two minutes and
Speaker 1: thirty seconds and Joe Burrow has the ball on his
Speaker 1: own six yard line, ninety four yards to go down
Speaker 1: the field. I thought, that's it. He's gonna take him down.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be burrow Head all over again. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be the legend of Joe Burrow. In the
Speaker 1: swag of Joe Burrow. The table was set, two timeouts,
Speaker 1: go down the field in a twenty twenty game, somehow
Speaker 1: win the game with a field goal or get it
Speaker 1: in the end zone, either one. And it did not
Speaker 1: happen for Joe Burrow. But there's Pat Mahomes suddenly getting
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and he did it. He pulled it down
Speaker 1: on that third and four, pulled it down, converted the
Speaker 1: first down, then got gunned in the back. It was
Speaker 1: the correct call. It It was definitely a personal fall
Speaker 1: and that ended up winning the game for the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, going back to that stop of Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: that third down play that was made by Chris Jones
Speaker 1: sacked with forty one seconds ago, because there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people, a lot of NFL experts tweeting out
Speaker 1: the best player on the field in that game was
Speaker 1: actually number ninety five, Chris Jones, their defensive tackle extraordinaire,
Speaker 1: who had eight quarterback pressures. And on those eight quarterback
Speaker 1: pressures there were three sacks, two by himself, five incompletions
Speaker 1: and not a single positive yard generated by the Bengals
Speaker 1: on the eight times he got a quarterback pressure, which
Speaker 1: to me, will think about it last year, Super Bowl
Speaker 1: Champion with Aaron Donald this year, how dominant Chris Jones
Speaker 1: has been. If Jalen Carter out of Georgia is that
Speaker 1: dude and he's on the board at number three. To me,
Speaker 1: if you're the Arizona Cardinals, you can resist. If you
Speaker 1: can get that sort of game wrecker on the defensive
Speaker 1: interior defensive line, you gotta take him. Polly. I know
Speaker 1: that free technique hits the most destructive force in the
Speaker 1: football universe. It is very, very appealing. I just gotta
Speaker 1: watch the tape. You gotta watch the tape and you
Speaker 1: gotta say, does he give it every play? Is he in?
Speaker 1: Every down? Guy? Is that? Because we've seen a three
Speaker 1: technique that wasn't and every down guy, we have seen that.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. You got to make sure the motor
Speaker 1: is there. I will agree with you on that. Otherwise
Speaker 1: I'm going to Will Anderson. You're right, hey. The season
Speaker 1: ticket priority listen is out there. Think about the team's
Speaker 1: coming in the Giants, the Cowboys, the Ravens, the Falcons
Speaker 1: and the Bengals. Godasy Cardinals dot com slash priority list
Speaker 1: for more info. We talk Eagles next on The Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We got
Speaker 1: the five seconds and the Eagles have been the NFC's
Speaker 1: best team all season long Ceros on the clock, and
Speaker 1: they will carry that momentum with big wins in the
Speaker 1: Divisional round against the Giants and here in the Championship
Speaker 1: contri in San Francisco all the way to Arizona and
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty seven. The Philadelphia Eagles are going to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl again. I'm ken finishing thirty one to
Speaker 1: seven win over San Francisco. There you go. The final
Speaker 1: call NFC Championship Kevin Harland on Westwood One, setting up
Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty seven right here in the az the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, in Factuvanna Holy
Speaker 1: can only stat here you go round Wolfley on the
Speaker 1: Big Red Race presented by santan Ford in Gilbert. You
Speaker 1: look like you need a stat Do you know? The
Speaker 1: team wearing the white jerseys has won fifteen of the
Speaker 1: last eighteen Super Bowls? No way, and the Kansa City
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna be wearing white and the Eagles will
Speaker 1: be wearing their green. Oh my goodness, that, Paul, that
Speaker 1: is crazy. It is fifteen to the last eighteen Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: The team wearing white has hoisted the Lombardi Trophies. So
Speaker 1: whatever you want to make out of that, all I
Speaker 1: know is that the Philadelphia Eagles have had the easiest
Speaker 1: path to a Super Bowl that I've seen it a
Speaker 1: long time. As they took care of the Giants, they
Speaker 1: routed them, Yes, they made them look bad, I get it.
Speaker 1: But then they got a San Francisco team where they
Speaker 1: knocked out the third string rookie quarterback on the first series,
Speaker 1: dealt with a four string quarterback for about a half,
Speaker 1: and then the Niners didn't even have a quarterback for
Speaker 1: the rest of the second half. So you tell me,
Speaker 1: did the Eagles not have the easiest pass you've seen
Speaker 1: it a long time to a Super Bowl? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to dispute that, Polly. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: when I think of the Philadelphia Eagles the very first place,
Speaker 1: I begin as Jalen Hurts. So I am sorry. All
Speaker 1: season long, I've been questioning Jalen Hurts. You know what
Speaker 1: it reminds me of And it pains me to say
Speaker 1: this right now. And I'm sure or Graybeard's gonna roll
Speaker 1: over wherever he is getting ready. Kurt Warner. I'm just saying, Kurt.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of Kurt in his rookie year when
Speaker 1: he was the guy that was out there getting the opportunity.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Look, Trent Green went down. Everybody. Now
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner comes in and the season he had and
Speaker 1: it was week after week after this is good. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be at right here. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: the week where the wheels fall off for this Warner kid.
Speaker 1: And we all know how that ended. Jalen Hurts, I
Speaker 1: coming into this season, the biggest question mark surrounding the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles was Jalen Hurts. And there's no disputing that.
Speaker 1: Everyone knew they had a pretty good roster after that.
Speaker 1: But Jalen Hurts, who was the question mark? How was
Speaker 1: he gonna do? He had? He flashed the year before.
Speaker 1: He flashed a little bit. But it wasn't like the
Speaker 1: Eagles weren't you know. It wasn't like they weren't looking
Speaker 1: for another possible quarterback they could bring in in the
Speaker 1: off seat. And there was a lot of talk about that.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is where I begin man for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Will this be it? Will this be the game that
Speaker 1: it's too big for him? Or not? And I'm thinking
Speaker 1: more and more not. He's an MVP finalists. The two
Speaker 1: games he missed they lost. He is sixteen and one
Speaker 1: as a starter now. But he also has arguably the
Speaker 1: NFL's best offensive line, does he not? Yes? Jason Kelsey
Speaker 1: an All Pro center, Lane Johnson an All Pro right tackle.
Speaker 1: They're left tackle as a Pro Bowl alternate. I mean
Speaker 1: they went out against that Niners defensive front. They had
Speaker 1: a dozen first down runs. They had about a half
Speaker 1: dozen chunk runs ten or more yards. Now, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, towards the end the game got out of hand,
Speaker 1: and maybe that Niners defense got a little demoralized without
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But to me, that's the key of the game.
Speaker 1: I think both teams are pretty equal in most areas,
Speaker 1: But that Eagle's offensive line, yes, to me, if they
Speaker 1: neutralized Chris Jones and Frank Clark. Look out, Yeah, Paulie,
Speaker 1: you know you've hurt me. Say it many many times
Speaker 1: that you don't need the best offensive line in the league.
Speaker 1: You don't need the worst offensive line in the league.
Speaker 1: You want an offensive line that is good enough to
Speaker 1: allow your talent to do what they do. Well, guess what,
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line is not only good enough,
Speaker 1: but to your point, they're the best offensive line I
Speaker 1: think in the National Football League. And now you think
Speaker 1: of the talent that the Philadelphia Eagles have operating around
Speaker 1: in and around that offensive line and Jalen Hurts of course,
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, the running back, A J. Brown, DeVante Smith,
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, it goes on and on and on. Now,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the talent that is there is
Speaker 1: magnified tenfold because of that offensive line, and that's what
Speaker 1: makes them so powerful. You named all those standout players, right,
Speaker 1: I mean they got players the Philadelphia Eagles on both
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Did your giant safety Julian Love
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football NFL network this morning No News
Speaker 1: by saying in studio with Good Morning Football about Nick Sirianni,
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job because he's not getting in
Speaker 1: the way of his team, and then he went on
Speaker 1: to say that he's in for a free ride right now.
Speaker 1: You guys can coach this team quote end quote. Then
Speaker 1: when everybody tweeted out his sound bite from the TV side,
Speaker 1: he retweeted and added, I'm not wrong. It's a players
Speaker 1: league and the Eagles have a bunch of dogs, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't have nearly as much to do with the
Speaker 1: coaching as it does the players. Your reaction to that, Polly,
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about this, And Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: would agree with me. Players win games. That is Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: That's straight from him. Players win games, but you gotta
Speaker 1: have the schemes. Of course, coaching is important in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Never forget that. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: it's not important. I'm not saying there aren't good coaches
Speaker 1: and bad coaches in the NFL. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: there are both. Beyond a shadow of a down, there
Speaker 1: are right down the middle of the road as well.
Speaker 1: But players, players win games. I cannot tell you, Paulie,
Speaker 1: just how many times a play was designed that should
Speaker 1: have worked and it didn't work because it was not
Speaker 1: executed properly. It was not done correctly. Whether it was
Speaker 1: a mental error or whether it was a physical error.
Speaker 1: You're getting your face kicked in. Whatever it was, it
Speaker 1: did not work because it wasn't executed by players. And
Speaker 1: then how many times a play that should have never
Speaker 1: worked never because of the scheme you were faced with
Speaker 1: and against and the scheme you were running. A play
Speaker 1: that should have never worked worked because one player made
Speaker 1: a play, whether it was on the offensive line, whether
Speaker 1: it was the wide receiver, a tight end, a full back,
Speaker 1: paul one guy makes a play and suddenly the play works.
Speaker 1: Players win games. As Bill Belichick would attest, coaches lose
Speaker 1: them right. Give me a word on that Eagles pass rush.
Speaker 1: They had a sixty two percent quarterback pressure rate in
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship, the highest and the next gen stat era.
Speaker 1: We know has Son Reddick, the former Cardinal. He knocked
Speaker 1: out Brock Purty in that first series of the game.
Speaker 1: He has nineteen and a half sacks in nineteen games
Speaker 1: this year, but he's far from the only dude on
Speaker 1: that pass rush for the Eagles. Yeah, you know that's
Speaker 1: gonna be the key for the Eagles. It's going to
Speaker 1: be about stopping the Kansas City Chief's ability to run
Speaker 1: the ball. I think they're gonna try to run at
Speaker 1: the soft underbelly of the Philadelphia Eagles. That's the only
Speaker 1: weakness on their team. But if the Eagles can keep
Speaker 1: them in third and obvious pass situations, it's bad news
Speaker 1: for Pat Mahomes and that Chief's offense. And the Cardinals
Speaker 1: hosted both teams. You've seen both teams firsthand. Sounds like
Speaker 1: you're leaning towards the Eagles in this game. I am Paul,
Speaker 1: and that makes me very uncomfortable because you got Pat
Speaker 1: Mahomes on one side and Jalen Hurts on the other. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he looks ultramotivated. There's no doubt about that. Special
