13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: was a couple weeks ago Wolf that we began the

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage by confirming that yes, you can have

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,320

Speaker 1: touchdown confirmed. We get it. Paul, Well, I just bring

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: that up not only because I gave you and pass

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: your touchdown call this coming season, but you know, the

19
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: only thing better than NASA landing on the red planet

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: would be what we've seen from Baker Mayfield. Here, a

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback with a UFO sighting. Have you seen that, wolf?

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: I honestly, Paul, I heard about it, but I have

23
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: not seen it. Paul, Well, he tweeted out, quote almost

24
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: one p m. And I his wife just saw UFO

25
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: drops straight out of the sky on our way home

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: from dinner. This is central Texas now, and it was

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: a very bright ball of light, he said, coming down

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: straight out of the sky. So yeah, Baker Mayfield thirty

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year, what nine interceptions in eighteen games and

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: one UFO sighting. And by the way, Wolf, I bring

31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: this up because they're been reports that during the pandemic,

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: UFO sightings are up fifty one percent. Oh I bet

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: they are. Poll I guarantee you. So it is a

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: liquor cabinet. I'm just saying right now, Polly, Honestly, it

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: wasn't a UFO. Absolutely, there are UFOs happen every day, Paul,

36
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: in this country. UFOs are everywhere. They're called unidentified flying objects,

37
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: that's what they're called, Polly, and we see them all

38
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: the time. There's just one big difference. There's not a

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: bunch of little green men inside them, paul. So we

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: bring that up to start Big Red Rage presented by

41
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford to show

42
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: the difference between almost one hundred percent according to Baker

43
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield and one extremely real in the acquisition of J. J. Watt.

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: That is real, that just happened. Well, it does not.

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Do you believe that, Polly, Honestly? Right now, this is very,

46
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: very similar to the DeAndre Hopkins deal. When it came down.

47
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: You woke up the next day and you kept saying,

48
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: you know what, Wow, we got this. So we got

49
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: we got d hop Man, we got DeAndre Hopkins, and

50
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: you really could not believe it right now. And I'll listen,

51
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: JJ Watt is a big name, There's no doubt about it.

52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: And if he stays healthy to me, Paulie, and I'm

53
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: going to continue to say that because I think it

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: is a valid thing to say in regard to a

55
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: guy that's missed thirty two games over the last five years.

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: But if he stays healthy, I'm telling you're right now,

57
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a slam donk. I mean, You've

58
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: got think about if hbo hard knocks ever did an

59
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: offseason edition of Hard Knocks to your earlier point, Think

60
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: of the last three off seasons for the Arizona Cardinals,

61
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and now JJ Watt. You're saying

62
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty good? Is that you know it's not exactly

63
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the off season. There's been a lot of really juicy

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: storylines and now you wonder, okay, what else might be

65
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: coming when you hear Steve Kyme and Michael Bidwell has

66
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: said it again this week's Serious NFL Radio about how

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: there's going to be quote a seismic shift end quote

68
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: in talent across the NFL. Oh that what's coming in

69
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. Most of us don't expect the

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: magnitude of movement when it comes to players. We've already

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: seen some big names and big contracts gets sliced from

72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: team's payrolls. But there's gonna be a lot of players moving,

73
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a lot of new acquisitions, and

74
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals having twenty eight unrestricted free agents

75
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: going into this offseason, the potential to have a radically

76
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: different roster, I mean j. J. Watt might just be

77
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: the start. Oh yeah, Pauli. No, I don't. I don't

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: think there's any question about that. Did you see that

79
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: cut by Michael too, that quote by Michael when National?

80
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that Bolli this morning.

81
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were doing it on what does Greenbird

82
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Show get up? Or something like that. They actually had

83
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: that quote, and then we're talking about it. This free

84
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: agent period coming up in the National Football League, it's

85
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna be unlike anything we have ever seen before. Speaking

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: of UFOs Paulli, this is going to be an unidentified

87
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: free a period. Well, Joe Banner now he can say

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: things because he's a former executive with the Eagles and

89

Speaker 1: and he talked about all the change and what's going

92
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. He says it's going to be

93
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for smart teams. Tweet and tweet from

94
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,160

00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: kelvc Ron Wolfley, soon to be joined by defensive coordinator

114
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph. But wolf like you mentioned it earlier, who

115
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: was that moment when the Cardinals made the deal for

116
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and we remember exactly where we were at

117
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: that exact moment, not unlike earlier this week. And where

118
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: were you, Ron Wolfleet when the news broke that. Jj

119
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Watt when he sent out the sweet said source me

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: and he reported he was coming to the as. Yeah,

121
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: that blew my mind. Paul. It was actually on the

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: treadmill over at the compound by the way, Paully, Yeah,

123
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: getting in my five miles, Paul, my five miles on

124
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: the treadmoll mill. Listen, you might want to make a

125
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: tent wolf figure right now. It wasn't like I was

126
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: sprinting on It's okay, Paul, it's a jog. It's called

127
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: the jog at the compound here. Okay, five miles per hour,

128
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: and that's what I was doing. I was run. I

129
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: was on the dread mill, and Polly, I could not

130
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: believe it when I actually saw it. When you're done

131
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: with a treadmill, wolf, do you do what JJ Watt

132
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: tweeted out today? Did you see the picture of how

133
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: he finished up his workout in Wisconsin on a frozen lake,

134
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: taking an ice bath, cutting a hole in the ice,

135
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: and instead of ice fishing, he dunked himself in the

136
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: water for an ice bath. No, Polly, I did not

137
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: see that, by the way, And you've got to be

138
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: kidding me. This is the kind of guy, though, that

139
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are getting. This is a you know what.

140
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: It takes the body, it takes the soul, and it

141
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: takes the spirit to play the game of football. And

142
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: this guy's got all three things together. There's no denying it.

143
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: This guy is a football player through and through. He's

144
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: going to increase the physicality of this team. You know, Polly,

145
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: this is something I've been talking about all off season.

146
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: This is not an accident suddenly that you go out

147
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: and get a guy like JJ Watt put his hand

148
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: in the dirt. He makes you more physical on the

149
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and both sides of the ball. I

150
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals have got to get more physical and

151
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: this goes a long way in solving that issue. Cardinals

152
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: made the deal. I tweeted out the Arizona Cardinals just

153
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: to trust their biggest offseason need. Inconsistent energy, inconsistent intensity,

154
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: inconsistent urgency. There you go, Polly, here's a guy that

155
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: to me, he's going to set the tone. All the

156
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: above doesn't take a playoff. You're a Cliff Kingsbury talk

157
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: about it today, not unlike a Tom Brady. His teammates

158
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: don't want to disappoint him. Here in Michael Bidwell mentioned

159
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: culture and leadership. Steve Kim echoed as well, to your point,

160
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: it's not a mistake that they signed a guy like

161
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: JJ Watt and they were willing to pay them. That's

162
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: sort of guaranteed money based on what we saw a

163
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: year ago, which to me bigger than any position group

164
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: or any single player. The biggest problem last year was

165
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: Week sixteen, coming out with all the intensity of a

166
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: preseason game. Paul, I mean, honestly right now, that is

167
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: That's something that the two biggest things you and I

168
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: have been talking about this offseason. I'm big red rage.

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: It's the physicality of this team. I want to see

170
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: this team hopefully get more physical on the line of

171
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: scrimmage specifically. And then of course it was culter, who

172
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: are we We've got to build an identity here as

173
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: to who we are and how we do things and

174
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: how we go about our business for the most party,

175
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: and I think JJ Watt is a great guy to

176
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: build around. From that point, what you need our dogs Paul.

177
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: You need those dogs in the locker room, right, you

178
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: need one dog to become two dogs, and then and

179
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: then sixteen, and all of a sudden, you've got this

180
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: little daggle of dogs in that locker room. And you

181
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: know what happens, Pouly, the cats start barking. Yeah, a

182
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: few years ago it revolved around Klaias Campbell. Before that,

183
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew, Now I think you have that guy back.

184
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: And when he flew in with Michael Bidwell on Redbird one,

185
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: he got off the plane and had this to say,

186
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. My wife and I are very excited

187
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: to be here. Mister Bidwell, Steve, everybody here has been

188
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: unbelievable so far, and I'm just excited to get started.

189
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to get started, to get to work,

190
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: get to know the people of Arizona, and to go

191
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: to work to try and help win a championship. The

192
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: one thing that I can promise you is I'm gonna

193
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: work my ass off every single day to make you proud.

194
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: And I'm very proud to be a part of the

195
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: Bird gang in the Red Sea. So let's get started.

196
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: Rand I love that Polly right there, honestly right. I mean, listen,

197
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: He's not coming in here saying, oh, We're out of

198
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: the souper ball and I'm gonna have twenty sacks, and

199
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: who's not promising anything like that. What I loved is

200
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: he is promising what he can control, and what he

201
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: can control is his effort. I love that promise by

202
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: jj Watt. Most sacks since twenty twelve, Chandler Jones number one,

203
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: ninety seven, JJ Watt, number two in the NFL ninety

204
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: five and a half Pro Football Focus. The highest graded

205
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: edge rushers since twenty eighteen number one, Khalil Mac number

206
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: two t j Watt, number three jj Watt. Well, and

207
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: here's a guy who led the NFL last year according

208
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: to the analytics in drawing double teams with Chandler Jones.

209
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: That's not likely to happen again. So what does that

210
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: mean for the Cardinals defense? We have questions. Van's Joseph,

211
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, is just the guy to ask for

212
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: the answers. He is next on the big red range

213
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: powered by Santan Ford in Gilbert. Jj Watt has just

214
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: tweeted he has signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Whoa jj

215
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: Watt signing with the Arizona Cardinals that he came out

216
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: of nowhere. So this is it? Is it? Okay, let's go.

217
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: I love the fit. A massive deal for really one

218
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: of the more up and coming teams in the NFL.

219
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: JJ Watt coming to the NFC West. It just gets

220
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: better and better and better. That division is stacked. Oh

221
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's an outstanding something. The cardinal's point of view,

222
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: this piece is the difference excited for Arizona Cardinals fans.

223
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Look at Steve conn got is arrested. Push you Bucks

224
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: making a call. Let's go daj Wattigas he does this

00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: of the few guys that can match Ron wolfway energy

Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us party over at

00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: the compound this weekend? Is that what it's going to be? Absolutely?

238
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: What were you know? One day? And after that it's

239
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: back to the business, you know, free agency and the

240
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: draft stuffs coming up. But obviously excitement this weekend in

241
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: the building there. So you heard the surprise from the

242
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: national media. I know locally none of us saw it coming.

243
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Vegas didn't even see it coming. They had put ouns

244
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: out on where j J. Watt was going. Cardinals weren't

245
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: even listed. At what point because some report said you

246
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: ran point quote unquote on the recruiting effort as a

247
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: former coach on the Houston staff when JJ walk got

248
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: his start. So at what point in the process tell

249
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: us about the process did you get a real good

250
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: feel like, man, we've got a good shot here. Well,

251
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: when JJ first ash towards release out of Houston, Steve

252
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: called me and say what do you think? I said, well,

253
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: let's watch the film. Let's let's see what he has

254
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: left and after watching a film, man, I mean we

255
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: were really you know, it's not surprised, but I mean

256
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: he was. He was still making plays, he was still

257
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: winning one on once, he was getting double team an

258
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: awful lot. He played over a thousand snaps, and we thought,

259
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, to build our defense and to get better quickly,

260
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: was to add a piece inside, you know, at the

261
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: at the five technique and free technique that can win

262
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: one on one where Chandler Jones coming back and hopefully

263
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: having a you know passon Reddick or Sam Backer outside

264
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: who can win one on once. I mean, he is

265
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: going to have a chance to you know, be a

266
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: real disruptor with our defense, you know. And after watching

267
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: the tape, I mean he was. He was still playing

268
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: well again, he was healthy, playing over a thousand snaps.

269
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: So it was a no brainer. So from that moment on,

270
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: it was a full court press on JJ. And the

271
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: bottom line, I mean, he wanted the process to be

272
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: really really quiet. He wanted to be you know, off

273
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: the off the radar sum So in our people in

274
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: the building did a great job of not you know,

275
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: not leaking that we were involved with we're trying to

276
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: sign JJ, and that part he respected. That was half

277
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: the reason he stayed with us, because it never got

278
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: out that we were involved with JJ. Obviously, he played

279
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: for me in Houston and he won his first, you know,

280
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: first Player of the Year award in this defense, you know,

281
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: so he knows how it works. He knows that he

282
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: can get one on ones, you know, on guards and

283
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: centers constantly in his defense. So it was a perfect fit.

284
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you know, Steve and

285
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: his team did a great job of making the financial

286
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: part work. You know, my guys on defense called him

287
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: and texted him and kind of showed him pick of

288
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: what it was going to be like. And it was

289
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: a perfect fit, you know. And obviously being in Arizona,

290
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a great place to live,

291
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, you know, having hop here, having

292
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Collar here, you know, I mean, it's a it's a

293
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: it's a really good young team. And he knew that,

294
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, and he was he was he was excited

295
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: to be here, man. But I wasn't surprised when he

296
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: did signed because it was great conversations for weeks at

297
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: a time, you know, it was it was never a

298
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: time I thought we couldn't get him. You know, I

299
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: wasn't sure it was going to happen, but I you know,

300
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was constant, consistent communication on

301
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: a daily basis. So we stayed in the in the

302
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: mix the entire time. You know. One of the things

303
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: I love, Vans is the fact that you you have

304
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: a personal relationship with J. J. Watt. Of course going

305
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: all the way back to being the secondary coach in Houston.

306
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: What do you remember about J. J. Watt when you

307
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: were in Houston. Well, I remember when we drafted JJ,

308
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, we laugh about this all

309
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: the time about you know, in the in the in

310
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: the draft room on draft day, it was it was

311
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: really way that sold the GM on on JJ, you know,

312
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: because most of the room did not one JJ. It

313
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: was more about Cameron Jordan at the time. You know.

314
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: Even when we drafted JJ, it was kind of booze

315
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: in the in the in the Houston area, you know.

316
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: But Wade did a great job of knowing what he

317
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: was going to be, you know, and um and and

318
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: pushing to get JJ drafted there. But you know, it

319
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: was it was it was the year with the lockout,

320
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, so we didn't have an off season at all.

321
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: You know, so all the rookies and veterans came in

322
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: and training camp, you know, proceeded and went to the season,

323
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: and he was playing good football, but he wasn't JJ

324
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Watt into the playoffs and and that Week one playoffs

325
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, man, he played his butt off and

326
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: from that moment on, he became JJ Watt. You know,

327
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: he was always a hard worker. He was always uh,

328
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, a high football like you guy. He was

329
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: always a playmaker. But it took him a while because

330
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have an off season. You know,

331
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: it took him about you know, fourteen to fifteen games

332
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: to hit his pece. He can. Once he hit it, man,

333
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: it never stopped. But his NonStop motor, his NonStop work

334
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: ethic was apparent day one, you know. And that chip

335
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: on his shoulder has never gone away, even to the day.

336
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: He's still cheated. You know. He was a walk on

337
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: at Central Michigan as a tight end. He walked on

338
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: at Wisconsin. You know, he got drafted in use and

339
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: everybody booed him. You know, so that chip on his

340
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: shoulder is still there, and that's what made him successful,

341
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: you know. Over his career, and at this moment right now,

342
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: you know he still steel cheated. You know he wants

343
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: to get back to playing dominant football. And you know

344
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: that's that part I welcome because I know JJ it's

345
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: going to work his butt off. He's going to be

346
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: a great example, He's going to be a great leader

347
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: for our locker room. But most of all, he's going

348
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: to be an impact player for on defense. Well, there

349
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: are three players in NFL history to win three NFL

350
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year awards, Lawrence Taylor, Aaron Donald

351
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: and j. J. Watt. So he wants first advanced Joseph

352
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: our guests the Cardinals defensive coordinator. It's all about You,

353
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. Let me ask you

354
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: what he does for your run defense because fans, no,

355
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: you finished in the bottom third. And if I saw

356
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: this right, he led the NFL and tackles for loss

357
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: against the run. Is that an underrated part of his game?

358
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: No doubt. You know, our run defense our first year

359
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: was pretty good. You know last year what it wasn't?

360
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: That's good? You know, And again I mean you can

361
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: you can determine, you know, how how good you want

362
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: to be in run defense because it's it's obviously if

363
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: you can, if you can play too high and play

364
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: shellots off the run, I mean, that's a that's a

365
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: dominant defense, you know. But um, you know, if you

366
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: have to load the box and add numbers, that makes

367
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: me vulnerable in the past game, you know. So he

368
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: has to pick in twos your moments. But last year

369
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough in the run game, especially in

370
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: critical moments of the game like four minute and you

371
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: know first you know, first, first and ten, you know,

372
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: to get teams in a second and longer, you know.

373
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: But JJ has always been in and disruptor on first, second,

374
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: and third down, you know. And in this defense, as

375
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: the five technique is a four eye, I mean, he's

376
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: going to be at the point of attack on the

377
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: strong side, you know, so that that strong side power,

378
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: that strong side lead stuff won't won't crease us downhill,

379
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: and it's going to allow our backers to run free

380
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: and to make plays on the running game, you know.

381
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: So I mean he he just won't be a force

382
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: in the pass game, but in the run game alike,

383
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: with having chan back on the open sides and ball

384
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: can't go open side in the three four, it has

385
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: to go strong side, and so having a you know,

386
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: big time presence on side like JJ to push the

387
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: ball out to the Sam backer, that's going to help us.

388
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you know, first, second, third down run pass,

389
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: he's going to be a plus to our defense. You know,

390
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: it's interesting vance you mentioned Chandler Jones right there. What's

391
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: more dangerous in your opinion, JJ Watt and Chandler Jones

392
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: running games on the same side of the ball or

393
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: rushing the pass around opposing edges. Well, I'll say this,

394
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: it's going to be times where they're gonna be on

395
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: the same side, you know, because the three technique you

396
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: know to the you know will backer side. You know,

397
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: if he's a if he's a hot and a gap

398
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: vertical guy in the B gap, it's gonna allow Chan

399
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: to have a two way go and it come under sometimes,

400
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's it's gonna be ton where

401
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna see JJ and Chan together, But most of

402
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: the time, you know, having those guys split, it's gonna

403
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna make the offense be honest in protections. You know,

404
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: if if JJ is a four eye or a five technique,

405
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: it's no way they can double team him with a

406
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Sam off the edge because the tackle has to go

407
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: to the Sam, right, Yeah, the center has to go

408
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: to the nose guard and that leaves that poor strong

409
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: sack guard one on one with JJ. And that's the

410
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: beauty of the three to four. You can you can

411
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: dictate who blocks whoo right, and if they keep the

412
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: tight end in and they chip to Sam background and

413
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: push the tackle to JJ, you know, I mean you

414
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: just basically play zone coverage in and I mean you're

415
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: playing four to two, you know, on on on top

416
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: of the receiver. So having a force inside of the

417
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: three four defense it's critical because you can now dictate

418
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: protections and they can't simply you know, bump the Sam

419
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: or our slide the chan Right, it's going to be fair,

420
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: and someone's going to get a one on one, and

421
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: most of the time it's the strong side end because

422
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: that the center has to go with the nose, the

423
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: tackle goes for the Sam, and that por strong side

424
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: guard has to block JJ one on one. And he

425
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: made his first Player the Year award in his defense, right,

426
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: And that was the reason he made it because he

427
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: got a bunch of one on ones inside and even

428
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: a running game. I mean he had a bunch of

429
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: TFLs that year and a bunch of sacks, you know, Alan,

430
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: so you know, I mean he's going to be a

431
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: force in a boat airs of defense running pass so

432
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: vancy makes the offense more predictable. Is that correct? Absolutely?

433
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: It absolutely does. I mean, if we can, if we

434
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: can dictate on on true passing downs that it's two

435
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: man routes. Now you're playing more zone and playing four

436
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: over two. You know, if they want to keep everybody

437
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: in and block JJ and wide and block channel and

438
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: block our sam backer, that's perfect. You know, we can

439
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: we can play more Sheldon played, you know, top down

440
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: quarter scoverage in and eat up two receivers with four dbs.

441
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: If they want to get five guys out, they have

442
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: to block those guys one on one, right, you know.

443
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. And when you watch our take

444
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: from last year, we had a lot of times where

445
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: we had five guys Russian and they were one on one,

446
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: you know, and we didn't win quick enough. You know,

447
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: But with j D. Watt, who can still win one

448
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: on one. If they do that, he's gonna win quickly.

449
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: And it's gonna make it's gonna make our past defense better.

450
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: All I know is it's third and eleven and a

451
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: quarterback comes the line of scrimmage and he looks to

452
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: his left. He's got Chandler Jones. He looks to his right,

453
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: he's got JJ Watt And then he looks at Isaiah

454
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: Simmons mug in the A gap and Buddha Baker's flashing

455
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: from the other side. And there's a lot to consider

456
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: if you're a quarterback at that moment. And I get

457
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: all that and what he does for your defense, let

458
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: me ask you what does he do for your locker room?

459
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Because you can't help. But notice how Cliff Kingsbury and

460
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: Steve Kime and Michael Bidwell Advance have all cited his

461
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: leadership and we did last year at times, intensity and

462
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: urgency and energy was inconsistent. So how far can one

463
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: guy go when it comes to cultures. He's going to

464
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: be huge for that, you know. And obviously professional sports man,

465
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: it's it's it's grown men, you know, and every every

466
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff guys is preaching doing it right, you know,

467
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: playing fast, working hard, save your money, you know, be

468
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: good pros, all those things right. But honest to God.

469
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: The culture is pushed through the players. And when your

470
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: best players, when your best players are your best people,

471
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: when your best players are your best workers, right, that

472
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: that dictates your culture, you know. So having a J. J. Watt,

473
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: you know, having a Larry Fitzgerald there, that dictates your

474
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: culture because those guys set the tone, you know, for

475
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: for practice, for extra work, for study, for treatment. Right,

476
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: it goes through the players. And and you know, once

477
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: it happens with culture and it gets rolling, it's it's

478
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: easy to see and it's easy, you know, to maintain.

479
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: But it goes through players. So having J. J. Watt

480
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: here as an example of how to work, you know,

481
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: how to study, how to be a great pro, you know,

482
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: how to play with energy every single down because I

483
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: mean this guy again, guys, I mean he feels cheated

484
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: in life. You know, he's still feel seated. You know,

485
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: so he's gonna walk in the locker room, guys, and

486
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be he's gonna be on on on one

487
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: hundred every single day. I mean, he's a guy you

488
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: have to pull back from practicing so much because he

489
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: will burn himself out, you know about week eight or nine.

490
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's burned out from this practicing. So it's

491
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: going to be a great example to watch him work,

492
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: to watch him, you know, um, study how to be

493
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: a great pro even in the community. I mean, this

494
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: guy is so awesome in the community, you know, as

495
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: far as raising money, you know, for the hurricane efforts

496
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: in Houston, all those things, you know, how to handle

497
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: the media. He's a great example you know for young

498
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: guys to follow into mimic. And he's also still playing

499
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: good football. So again, if you're trying to build something,

500
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: you know with a young team, and it's it's always

501
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: good to bring in examples of what it looks like.

502
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: He's been on teams that won thirteen games. In twelve games,

503
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: he's been on teams that's won four you know, So

504
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: I mean he won't be mean to building something, you

505
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: know though, That's that's the that's the great part about

506
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: having JJ. He's been on all kinds of teams. He's

507
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: built teams, he's been on great teams. He's been on

508
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: young teams also, But um, you know, his example, his

509
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: leadership is going to go through the roof because that

510
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: that part you have to have. As much as coaches

511
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: want to beat it. They'll be that that that beacon

512
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: in the locker room. We can't be you know, coach

513
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: coach lad teams only go so far, and player lad

514
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 1: teams win championships, you know. So having JJ and at

515
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: locker rooms gonna be huge for our team to have

516
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: a real example of what it looks like on a

517
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: daily basis. Vans had a coach one say to me

518
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: that if you get enough dogs in a locker room,

519
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: even the cats start parking. So I thought that was absolutely,

520
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: absolutely exactly. And you know, every coach in the country

521
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: is prem in the same thing, right. Every coach wants

522
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: you to do it right, practice hard, study, do extra.

523
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: But I'm telling until an example shows up, those young

524
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: players have no idea what it looks like or if

525
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: it's worth it. Yeah, and I mean he would show

526
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: this young players. It's worked the man to work hard.

527
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: I have to be self made guys. He's the self

528
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: made guy. Totally. Absolutely Listen, JJ played, as you know,

529
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: a ton last year, a thousands over a thousand snaps

530
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: last year. Do you anticipate him getting that many snaps

531
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one or are you going to kind

532
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: of monitor his snaps? I hope not, guys, I hope not.

533
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: But it's going to be a true to fit JJ down,

534
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: you know. But hopefully we can have a nice, a

535
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: nice you know rotation with Zach and those guys and

536
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: Rashad Laurens are lucky. We've got a bunch of good players,

537
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, sitting behind him who needs reps, you know.

538
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: So I think I think having those young players behind

539
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: him and convincing JJ that quality is going to be

540
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: better for us than quantity, you know. And you know,

541
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: we can get him out there on the critical downs,

542
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, especially the third downs, the second and laws

543
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: the first of the series. Those those things going to

544
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: help him obviously stay you know, healthy and and to

545
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 1: be fresh later in the season. But to play over

546
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: a thousand snaps at his age, that shows you, guys,

547
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: his his work ethic and you know, you know how

548
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: he trains man. He trains like an animal, guys. You know.

549
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be He's gonna be in great shape,

550
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: you know. And Jay and I was laughing about, uh,

551
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: Reggie White, you know, Reggie White signed with Green Bay

552
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: leaven Philly. I think Reggie White was you know, thirty one,

553
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, you know when he went to

554
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay and he had sixty plus sacks. Guys, you know,

555
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: so this this, this is not different. It's it's happened before,

556
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: and you know, very similar players dominant inside Russias, guys

557
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: who take care of themselves and freaking natures, you know.

558
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: So hopefully he can have the same susis that Reggie

559
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: had in uh in Green Bay. But it's gonna be

560
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: a chore to pull JJ back. But we're gonna have

561
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: to have a plan for him to understand. Like Jay Man,

562
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, he'll give some of those snaps to Zach.

563
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's he's twenty what five years old,

564
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, give him twenty of those snaps and you

565
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: can obviously you know, have more quality than quantity. But

566
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna want to practice every day and play every down.

567
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a weekly conversation on you know,

568
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: how we manage this rest to keep them fresh and

569
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: healthy throughout the playoffs. Well, we don't know if you

570
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: did any recruiting at the college level and coaching in college,

571
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: but you did a heck of a job recruiting here,

572
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: so you know, on behalf of the whole valley and

573
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 1: the Red Sea. They appreciate your recruiting efforts. Awesome, man,

574
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was easy to do. I

575
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: mean it's a great player and a great person. And

576
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, as a as a recruiter, man, you don't

577
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: want to bring anybody your program as you're gonna be

578
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: embarrassed about. And I know JJ. You know he's gonna

579
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a player for us. You know that's

580
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: in his heart. You know. I text JJ a week

581
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: ago at that man, you know we need to leadership

582
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: in your example. He text back right away. He said, VJ. No, Man,

583
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm coming to dominate first as a player and I'll

584
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: be an example a leader for you if that's coming

585
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: to play ball. So that's JJ, Van, So happy man

586
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: for you, and have fun with JJ. Okay, I will

587
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: do man. Thank your coach. We'll talk to you soon.

588
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: Van's Joseph Cardinal's defensive coordinator back with more on the

589
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: big Red Rage. Next, Jota look tall, stack fullus three round.

590
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: It's good troup by one picked up to the forty

591
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: to the three to the tray. He's gone. What should

592
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: he do? J J Watt forty five yards on the

593
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: fucking return? How about that Westwood one night an eagle

594
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: right there, J J Watt with the scoop and the score,

595
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: the funnel return and you heard Vance Joseph drop Reggie

596
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: White and special thanks to Cardinal's defensive coordinator, Welcome back

597
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: into the Big Red Rage presented by Satan Ford and

598
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: Gilbert You know Wolf That that's an app comparison in

599
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: a couple of ways. Number One, JJ Watt talked this

600
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: week on a podcast that as a Wisconsin guy, he

601
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: grew up watching Reggie White. He vividly remembers Reggie White

602
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: at the same age coming to the Packers and then

603
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: just having an unbelievably stellar run with the Packers. In fact,

604
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: the stat is that the only two players in NFL

605
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: history to post three or more seasons with the least

606
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half sacks in that season would be

607
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: JJ Watt and Reggie White. Think about that, think about

608
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: keeping that sort of company, and then listen to this,

609
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: because you heard it at the press conference this week

610
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 1: and it bears repeating. Here's the Q and A. It's

611
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: all of five seconds, but it's all you need to

612
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: know about that intensity that Vance Joseph referred to what

613
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: JJ watt how much gas you'd like you have left

614
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: in the tank? A lot, a whole lot. It wasn't

615
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: just the short answer and getting right to the point

616
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: and leaving it there, that's the entirety of the answer.

617
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: It was the look in his eye, yes, at the

618
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: question itself, and well, that's the sort of look I

619
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: look forward to in the carvers front seven. Absolutely, Pollie.

620
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: I took the mouth guard and stuck it in. Paul

621
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: what he said that it's like, yeah, let's go, let's go.

622
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: You know, the look on his face, the square jaw,

623
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: and the intensity the fire in the pupils. You could

624
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: actually see it. Listen, this is stuff. Once again, I

625
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: this is I predicate everything I'm about to say by saying,

626
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: if in fact he stays healthy, and I think that's

627
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: a relevant conversation, or at least a point of conversation

628
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: you have to have. But here's a guy that last

629
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: year over a thousand snaps. I can't say it even

630
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: more than that, PAULI over a thousand snaps. And it's

631
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: gonna be really really interesting to see how exactly Van's

632
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: Joseph uses him. He's gonna use him all the way

633
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: across the board. But you know what, it makes an

634
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: offense more predictable. Paul, This is something that I was

635
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: talking to you about, especially in regard to Chandler Jones

636
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: and the use of Chandler Jones. Now, all of a sudden,

637
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: you can almost guarantee what kind of protection you're gonna

638
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: get when you get j J. Watt. And that allows

639
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,239
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph to scheme when he can almost guarantee if

640
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: he puts JJ Watt and he puts Chandler Jones by

641
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: way of example, on the same side of the ball,

642
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: he can almost guarantee what kind of protection he's gonna get.

643
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: And because of that, you can blitz that better. That

644
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: was intriguing, you know, those on the same side, him

645
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: talking about using JJ Watt at the three technique, the

646
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: five technique, him talking about getting him one on ones

647
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: against guards and centers. That's how he excelled back when

648
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Vance was a dB coach with Houston. So that was

649
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: all intriguing. And then you know, he just talked about

650
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: the mindset and the makeup of the guy. And Vance's

651
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: quote was he feels cheated quote unquote talking about being

652
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: a walk on at Central Michigan and Wisconsin and then

653
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: you know it just so that stayed with him, not

654
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: unlike Tom Brady who still talks about being drafted in

655
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: this sixth round. So you have that dynamic there, and

656
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: then you have March seventeenth, which is coming up the

657
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: start of the league year. What does this mean for

658
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: the years of Cardinals cap and what else you can

659
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: do with the roster? Well, Steve Kin was asked about that.

660
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't feel like we're drastically limited. I think we

661
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: have some flexibility moving forward, and that's why we structured

662
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: the contract the way we did. We have a window

663
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: on time where we can do some different things and

664
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: be flexible. Yet at the same time, we have to

665
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: be smart with it, and I have to look at

666
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: the future moving forward in the next three years and

667
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: always take a different view than a lot of people do.

668
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: That's Steve Kin. Would you make of some of his

669
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: comments about where the Cardinals go from here, because there

670
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: are definitely needs like the secondary in cornerback. Yeah. The

671
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: one thing about it, Paulie, you just don't know what's

672
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: gonna happen when you stop and think about it, right,

673
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: I Mean, you've got Larry Fitzgerald and who knows if

674
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: Larry comes back, and if he comes back for how

675
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: much money is he coming back. I have no idea

676
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: what that is going to be. I think we're going

677
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: to see some restructuring of contracts. I think we're gonna

678
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: see cots, Paul, June first cuts, guys that will be

679
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: released now that might be actually designated for a June

680
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: first cut. I think we're gonna see a lot of

681
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: different moves by the front office right now. And that's

682
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: kind of hard to predict. I'm not trying to dodge

683
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: your question at all, Paulie, but it is difficult to

684
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: predict what is going to happen here. Well, Patrick Peterson,

685
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: if he wants to test the market, for example, what

686
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: is he going to command in the marketplace at his

687
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: age and coming off last season. Hassan Reddick, what do

688
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: other teams make of Hassan Reddick? Who's in his prime

689
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: and you figure he wants to see what his worth

690
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: is on the open market, But how are other teams

691
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: going to approach him when everybody's restricted by the cap

692
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: to a large degree. Some teams obviously have more cap

693
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: room than others, But you know, a lot of that

694
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: I'm guessing reading between the lines of what Steve Kimo,

695
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwellt told you and Doug last week. Wolf that

696
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: some of these free agents are going to get a

697
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: sobering realization here in two weeks as to what's truly

698
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: available in the reduced cap world. Yeah, you know, and

699
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: once again too, I think the errors on a Cardinal

700
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: are gonna have a lot of snaps coming back from

701
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: guys that were injured last year. I mean, you think

702
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: of it, just Jalen Thompson. There's a guy right there,

703
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: Paulie where they had to cover a lot of those

704
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: snaps of Jalen Thompson. Yet Jayalen Thompson when he was

705
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: when he was starting and getting the opportunity to play

706
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: alongside Buddha baker Man, I thought Jalen Thompson bally played

707
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: really really well. And there's a guy if they can

708
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: just get him healthy, he comes back. Maybe last year

709
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: was a complete anomaly for Jalen Thompson. He comes back. Hey,

710
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: you know what, You're replacing a lot of snaps with

711
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: a guy you know can play. It's kind of like

712
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. Everyone talks about all the snaps Arizona Cardinals

713
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: have got to replace via free agency, and they do.

714
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: There's no denying that they have what twenty eight twenty

715
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: eight unrestricted free agents and restricted free agents as well.

716
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of different guys they've got to replace,

717
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. But once again, man, if

718
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: you've got Chan coming back, he's gonna eat eat an

719
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: awful lot of snaps, isn't he that you had to

720
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: replace last year? And would you say Chandler Jones is

721
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: an upgrade over anybody that actually was eating up those

722
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: snaps last year? I would say yes, yeah. If I'm

723
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right now and you're looking at the addition

724
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: of J. J. Watt and the return at Chandler Jones

725
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: and a division with Aaron Donald and Company, you might

726
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: want to expand your list of teams that you're gonna

727
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: consider a trade too. If you're Russell Wilson at this point,

728
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: and you're right, I mean you Chandler Jones for example,

729
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: coming back, well, that's something easily his contract could be

730
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: extended and the cap number could be reduced greatly. So

731
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: there are other maneuvers that Steve Time I'm sure in

732
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: company have in mind in the Cardinals front office to

733
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: create even more cap room. We'll see that is less

734
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: than two weeks away. Let's talk about the other factor

735
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: involved in US, and that's the quarterback. Next than the

736
00:37:53,040 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: big Red rage, J J. Watt with the fat twenty

737
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: and a half of the year, the first player in

738
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: the NFL hittory with twenty or more facts just spit career.

739
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: I would say J. J. Watts has the type of

740
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: presidence that you don't want to let him down. And

741
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: you've heard some of those quotes coming out of Tampa

742
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: with Tom and guys just don't want to let that

743
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: type of player, with that type of work guys and

744
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: that type of you know, legend. They don't want to

745
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: let him down. They don't want to be that guy

746
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: that doesn't hold up there into the bargain. And JJ

747
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: brings a similar presence with always accomplished him, his work

748
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: ethic and in the type of person he is there

749
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: go that's Clip Kingsbury. Earlier today we just heard from

750
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph. I found this addition to the Big Red

751
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are santan

752
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: Ford and we asked him about that. Walf how much

753
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: impact can a single player have because we've witnessed that

754
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: before and whether it was Kurt Warner, whether it was

755
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, the impact one guy can have on an

756
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: entire locker room. And Vance's response was that culture is

757
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: pushed through the players, and that's how it's dictated. When

758
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: your best players, especially are the ones dictating that culture.

759
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: You're a decade in the NFL. Would you agree with that?

760
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, PAULI are you kidding me? I talk

761
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: about it all the time, I really do. I talk

762
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: about your best players have got to model that culture

763
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: for everybody else, Polly, Your best players have got to

764
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: do it. JJ Watt is going to be one of

765
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: their best players, and because of that, he's going to

766
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: be modeling the culture and the mentality of this team

767
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: for everybody else. I cannot stress enough how important this is.

768
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: This is something I was talking to Herm Edwards about

769
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: this very thing as well, Paul, and Herm was saying that,

770
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: you know what, honestly, you need war dot where war

771
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: daddies is what he called them. He called them war daddies.

772
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: You need these war daddies in the locker room and

773
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: suddenly their mentality starts to spread it Two guys that

774
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: are not naturally as aggressive as these war daddies are,

775
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: or dogs as I would call him right here. And

776
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: JJ Watt is a dog, and he's going to help

777
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: that mentality spread in that locker room. And I think

778
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: he's going to have an impact not only on players, PAULI,

779
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: but on the coaching staff as well. It's like Tyron

780
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: Matthew tweeted out during the playoffs this past year where

781
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: he said, the smallest dog in the yard, it's still

782
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: my yard. That's Tyron Matthew. That's his mindset. That's what

783
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: I think of when you think, yes, you think of

784
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: that mentality. So okay, you have that, and look, if

785
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: you can't play, you can't lead. We know that. The

786
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: other axiom in the NFL is no QB, no chance

787
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: and everybody knows that and we've lived through that at

788
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: times as well. So there's no fluke that JJ Watt

789
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: as he was being recruited, identified teams with franchise capable quarterbacks.

790
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: In fact, beyond that, JJ Watt city flash little leadership.

791
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: When it comes to young Kyler Murray, He's been a

792
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: winner at every stage of his life. That's not a coincidence.

793
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: You're a winner because of the way that you work,

794
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: and because of the area that you give off, and

795
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: because of the talent that you have. And I think

796
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: that he has all those things and he's going to

797
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: continue to win and continue to have success. And that's

798
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: a part of the reason that I'm here. I told him,

799
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: by a Texas I'm here because I believe in you.

800
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: You have to have a quarterback in this league to

801
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: have a chance, and he's our guy, and I'm looking

802
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: forward to going out there and playing with him. Your

803
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: reaction to that, and what do you think that does? Yeah, PAULI,

804
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: this is going to be great because JJ Watt, from

805
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: what I'm told, he's one of the first guys into

806
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: the building and one of the last to leave. So

807
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, it's going to be a

808
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: race between Kyler Murray hopefully being one of the first

809
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: guys into the building and when he's going to leave

810
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: as well, or maybe there's going to be a conversation

811
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: between JJ Watt and Kyler. I'm not saying there is, Paul.

812
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you right now that that could happen.

813
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: I just you know, I think of last year, and

814
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: I think of a game like Week sixteen where the

815
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: team came out flat, and then I wonder how much

816
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: of an impact would JJ Watt up in that game?

817
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Would that have happened against the Niners in Week sixteen?

818
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: What do you think? Is it really to think it

819
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: would have been different? Absolutely, the level of play is

820
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: going to even out with J. J Watt and Matt

821
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: Locker rool. All right, we'll wrap up this edition. In fact,

822
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about the leadership and wrap this up.

823
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: It is the Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford

824
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are satan Ford. If you can't come

825
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: in and put working in the building, go out to

826
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: the practice field and work hard, do your lifts and

827
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: do what you're supposed to do, you should not be here.

828
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: This is a job. We're getting paid a whole lot

829
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: of money. There are a lot of people that watch

830
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: us and invest their time and their money into buying

831
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: our jerseys and buying a whole bunch of and they

832
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: care about it and work four and eleven. So if

833
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: you can't go out there and you can't work out,

834
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: you can't show up on time, you can't practice, you

835
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: can't want to go out there and win, you shouldn't

836
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: be here because this is a privilege, just the greatest

837
00:42:58,600 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: job in the world. You get to go out and

838
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: play game. I think we all remember that it was

839
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: late December and the Houston Texans and route to a

840
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: four win season, and there was at least one guy

841
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: who cared and cared deeply and that was a rant,

842
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: an all timer from JJ Watt. And you know what,

843
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: when your second all time in NFL history in sacks

844
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: per game to Reggie White, then guess what you have

845
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: the field cred to go on that sort of rand.

846
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: But again, it's what Vance Joseph told us earlier in

847
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: the show, right Wolf, that this culture has pushed through

848
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: the players, and he's that guy that the rest of

849
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: the team and especially the defense feeds off of. J. J. Watt. Yes, Paula,

850
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: you gotta have that. You gotta have these guys walking

851
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: around modeling that culture. Listen to a three time Defensive

852
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, a five time first team All Pro,

853
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: five Pro Bowls. Right twenty ten, he was the unanimous

854
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: All Defensive Team whole decade team. As a matter of fact,

855
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy has all the credibility you could

856
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: possibly think of right now, So when he walks into

857
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: that locker room, He's going to have a ton of respect.

858
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: This is going to allow the Cardinals to be more

859
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: physical on the line of scrimmage, and it's for you

860
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: to improve their culture dramatically. And those are the biggest

861
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: two things they needed to do in address this offseason. So,

862
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: a guy who could retire today and be a surefire

863
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer, a guy who most definitely

864
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: has arrived, walks around, according to Vance Joseph, his former

865
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: coach with the Texans, feeling like quote, he feels cheated.

866
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: That's the mentality that you get with a j J.

867
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: That's a chip in the heart, Paul, not on the shoulder,

868
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: in the heart. And that's what Steve kinby Hope is

869
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: talking about when he says he has an infectious personality.

870
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: Special thanks to Vance Joseph, Cardinals defensive coordinator Jim Almahondro
