00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Here we go. This is it caught by Kirk at

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: the twenty at the ten touchdown, Baby fail. Here's Craig Grilou,

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki, and Bertrand Berry. So I don't forget right

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: out of the gate. We need to give b Train

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: his proper due because, as he tells us each and

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: every week, MJ, it's all the defense. It gets overlooked,

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: but you have to have a defense if you want

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: to win on Sundays. And we say that here Bird

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Gang to open up. This week's the Cardinals read c Report.

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: Because b Train five of the seven picks over the

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: three days. The twenty twenty one NFL Draft addressed the

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. I think it was the

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: only way to go looking at this team. I didn't

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: think offense was a huge need. Yes, there are some

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: needs that you have to address, and I think they

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: did through free agency, and there may be some other guys,

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: but I really felt like defense was the way to go,

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: and they were listening, and I walked away very happy

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: with this. With this draft, I thought the Cardinals did

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: a solid job at making picks and best players available

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: at their picks, and so now it's just a matter

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: of getting those guys up to speed and hopefully they

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: can help this team win games now as opposed to later.

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: I love that little line there they were listening. Of course,

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: we all should be listening to Bertram Berry when it

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: comes to the sports of football the National Football League.

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's quickly go over the seven picks first

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: round inside linebackers. They having Collins on Saturday, fourth round,

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: as the Cardinals moved up in a trade with the

39
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens to acquire a corner Marco Wilson, and then

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: a pair of six round selections outside linebacker Edge rusher

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: Victor demukg and cornerback Tay Gowan. And then the final

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: excuse me, two more picks in the seventh round, safety

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: James Wiggins and offensive center Michael Manette. We will get

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: to all seven of these players, but first things first, MG,

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: if you look at all of these names, just kind

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: of what stood out to you about what was accomplished

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: over those three days. Well, I don't know if the

48
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: Cardinals went into the draft saying they're gonna draft five

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: defensive players. I think that's just the way the draft felt,

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: because if Collins was off the board, they probably would

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: be running back in Nig Harris. And you look in

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: the second round, they had an interest in Asante Sam

53
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: Junior and he goes two picks earlier to the Chargers

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: and they get the wide receivers. So you know, I

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: think they filled some holes. I mean they clearly, you know,

56
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: when you don't have They went in with six picks

57
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: and they end up with seven. They gave up a

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: four next year or so. You know, they didn't want

59
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: to sit there for a one hundred and eleven consecutive

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: picks not picking a player, because those are good players

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: coming off the board. So I think it worked out.

62
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: I think, and you know we'll find out in the

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: next couple of years. Yes, exactly, because now that they're here,

64
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how they got here. They need to

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: be able to contribute on Sundays, either as a starter

66
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: or as a rotation player, and of course on special teams.

67
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's start at the top b train and when you look, yes,

68
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I know you wanted a corner, but when you looked

69
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: at the draft and how things fell, the top two

70
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: corners were off the board. When the Cardinals were on

71
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: the clock with the sixteenth overall pick, so best player available,

72
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: with no wide receivers, no offensive lineman, at least the

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: top guys available, they went inside linebackers Davan Collins, and

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: it was made very clear that he is going to

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: be the mic linebacker. But when you read about Collins,

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: when you look at his tape, six foot five, two

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds out of Tulsa, what do you

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: like about the Collins selection? The first thing I like

79
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: is the size. He's kind of a throwback. When you

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: start thinking about sixty five, two sixty, that's a that's

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: a big MIC linebacker in today's NFL. You don't see

82
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: MIC linebacker is quite that big, but his his mobility

83
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: is what's going to separate him from a lot of

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: linebackers in today's NFL. And if he can come up

85
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: to speed and play with that same level of of

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: of athleticism that he showed while he was a told

87
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I really think that he could be part

88
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: of a new trend and the new style of MIC

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: linebackers that are smart enough and big enough to handle

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: all the responsibilities that come along with being a MIC linebacker.

91
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: And if he's if he's able to handle his own

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: and pass pro then I think he is going to

93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: be the quintessential type linebacker and he and Isaiah Simmons

94
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: are going to make a nice duo. Uh you know

95
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: looking at that linebacker corps. Well as come put it,

96
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: when you pair Collins and Simmons, it's quote like having

97
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: two trees in the middle of the field. More from

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: the general manager, Steve come on, how he sees Avian

99
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Collins fitting within this defense. He'll line up at mike

100
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: linebacker for us, so right beside Isaiah Simmons. What I

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: liked about him was everything size, football, acumen, instincts, coverability,

102
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: This guy's got rare and unusual movement skills for a

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: guy who's almost six foot five, two hundred and sixty

104
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: five pounds. You know, you watch him at Tulsa and

105
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: the way he covers smaller backs, tight ends, slot receivers

106
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: at times, you don't see a lot of men like this,

107
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: this size, that has this type of range in athleticism

108
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: and his production last season, it's also MG a unanimous

109
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: first team All American, won the Lombardi, Bronco Nagurski, and

110
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Chuck Bednarik Award. So this is someone who's accomplished, yet

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: it's at a smaller school. Tulsa is compared to a

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Power five conference. Yet there is a specific role for him.

113
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: He can do a lot, but he's going to do

114
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: that as an inside linebacker. Yeah, And I want to

115
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: get b train thoughts because based on all he heard

116
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days, it's pretty clear that

117
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: when it comes to the first and second round pick,

118
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: they want to play right away. You're talking about Isaiah Simmons,

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: where he played a lot better down the stretch. But

120
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: that's a lot of youth right there, you know, and

121
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: so there's going to be a development and to me

122
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: when you start looking at the offseason in preseason games,

123
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: it's really about evaluating and preparing for the season. But

124
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: these guys got to develop. I mean, it's not like

125
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna step on the field. This is the NFL. Now,

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: I'll say this. The one thing that Collins does have

127
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: going for him is his football IQ a valedictorian of

128
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: his high school class. So he is a smart football

129
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: player and that is a big reason why Kim believes

130
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: that Collins was rated so high, and he talked more

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: in depth about the person as opposed to the player

132
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: on draft night. We really liked him. Our coach staff,

133
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: our scouting staff, everybody as a whole had him as

134
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: one of our higher rated defensive players in the entire draft.

135
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: He also had an Alpha tag, which for us, the

136
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: Alpha Berg tag is given to players that have rare

137
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: leadership qualities, great instincts, great field for the game, our

138
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: tremendous locker room guys, and Zavian Collins is certainly one

139
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: of them. B tran Kind also brought up a comparison

140
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, who two years ago, or should say three

141
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: years ago, the sixteenth overall pick of the Buffalo Bills,

142
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: another inside linebacker six five two sixty, a Pro bowler

143
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: each of the past two seasons. Who do you look

144
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: not to compare or project, but as far as just

145
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: the measurables. And when you watch Collins on film, who

146
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: might he think or remind you of that either you

147
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: played with or that you see today. Well, there's a

148
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: guy that I played with, Namilijah Alexander, and he was

149
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: a big, tall linebacker that could that could cover a

150
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: lot of ground in a short period of time. And

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: the thing that I like about Zavin is the fact

152
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: that he played linebacker, So there's not going to be

153
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: as steep of a learning curve as it was for

154
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: Zav who was coming back from the secondary had to

155
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: come forward to the front seven. The fact that he's

156
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: already has those eyes trained to think like a mic linebacker,

157
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: I think, and be huge in his development. Now things

158
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: are going to happen a lot faster for Davin at

159
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: this level, but his eyes will already be looking at

160
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: the things that he needs to look at. He's just

161
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: going to have to process it even faster because, as

162
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: we all know, even the highest level of college football,

163
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you still there's still a learning curve as far as

164
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: the speed of the game. So I think he's going

165
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: to assimilate really quickly to what the Cardinals want to

166
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: do in and the pro style defense is just a

167
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: matter of him taking unnecessary steps and being a student

168
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: of the game. And if he does those things, I

169
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: don't see him having any problem adjusting rather quickly. Well,

170
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: you look at who won the Super Bowl. You look

171
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: at Devin White and Lavante David. We can just look

172
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: in the division between kJ Wright and Bobby Wagner and

173
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: then back in the day Navarrel Bowman and Patrick Willis.

174
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: Now the other comp would be Brian Erlacker, who went

175
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: to New Mexico played safety. The problem was the Bears

176
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: the first year they had him in there, they had

177
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: him playing the mic or the strong side linebacker position,

178
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: and he struggled his first year, and you look at

179
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: his numbers. The rest is history. So and again New

180
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: Mexico Tulsa. You know, but this is brute beat Train

181
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: pointed out he's played that position where Isaiah they were

182
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: trying to do a couple of different things with him.

183
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: I certainly would take a Brian Urlacher on this Cardinal's

184
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: roster if that's what Zavian Collins can develop into again,

185
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: not right away, but certainly project that way. And then

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: you pair him up with Isaiah Simmons, and you've got

187
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: two inside linebackers for you hope, you know, eight nine, ten,

188
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: twelve years. Well, Steve was very quick to tell me

189
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: because I you know, you look at Dawn Buchanan, look

190
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: at his son Reddick, they've been hybrid players. He said,

191
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: he's not a hybrid player. He's going to play inside them.

192
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: That was a mic, right, yes, going to play the mic.

193
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: And then you got Isaiah next to him, so they

194
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: made it very clear that he's not gonna die, that's

195
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna move around a lot. Well, let's hear from the

196
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: man himself, Zaban Collins, the newest Arizona Cardinals defensive player,

197
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: and vision myself as a chess piece that everyone can

198
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: use in many ways. I think that I can do

199
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: that for Arizona. They have, you know, Simmons, they have

200
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: what they have so many, so many intangibles coming off

201
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: every edge that I think that'll be a chess piece

202
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: for them that they'll be able to move around for

203
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: a second or a third down. And a lot of

204
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: it is just going to depend on how quickly he

205
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: learns that playbook and how quickly he's able to get

206
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: up to speed, literally with the speed of the game

207
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: on the pro pro level. The good news is there

208
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: will be preseason games, there'll be somewhat of an offseason,

209
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: there'll be a rookie mini camp. And it's not a

210
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: lot compared two years past, but it's a heck of

211
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: a lot more than what anyone had a year ago

212
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: at this time. More on the Cardinals and the drafting

213
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: of Zaban Collins with the sixteenth overall pick. If you

214
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: haven't heard it or seen it by now, it is

215
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: certainly worth a listen, worth a watch, and he had

216
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: heard it, well, it's worth oh listen once again. It

217
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: went viral, as they say, the phone call from general

218
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: manager Steve Kime to Zavan Collins saying, yes, we want

219
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: you to be an Arizona Cardinal. Hello, Steve Kime, Steve,

00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,839

224
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh my family, here are you ready

00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: to roll? Steve we're gonna kill everyone. We're gonna kill everyone.

226
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a super Bowl ring so big on

227
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: our on our finger, show dog wouldn't be able to

228
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: jump over. I love man, I love it. We're good.

229
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: We'll keep that attitude. Keep that chip on your shoulder. Hey,

00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: it's coach King's grat what's happening, man? How's it going?

231
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: How's it going? I'm good. Probably not as good as you, though. Congrats.

232
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Get ready to come in and get going to there.

233
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Ain't no redshirting, all right, No, there's no redshirt and

234
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna go in there and we're gonna kill it.

235
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: It's your time, brother. Congrats, man, we're fired up. I'm

236
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: gonna hand you to our owner. Michael Bidwell, Zaven. Michael Bidwell, congratulations.

237
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Were so excited to make you a cardinal. Enjoy the

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: moment with your family. Okay, okay, enjoy it. All right,

239
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna put your name in now. Okay, you're welcome.

240
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: Enjoy it. That was emotional. Holy cow. Yeah, I'd say

241
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: that certainly a tremendous moment for Collins and his family. Beatrain.

242
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: You gotta sympathize with him as far as that moments

243
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: you work so hard, you get that phone call and

244
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: then you hear the commissioner announce your name and every

245
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: player wants to get drafted during the course of a

246
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: three day NFL draft or you know, back in the

247
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: day when it was just one day, but certainly a

248
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: proud moment for the Collins family. Well, question anytime that

249
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: you were able to realize your dream, something that you

250
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: set out to do at a very early age, and

251
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: then able to see it through. And obviously there's going

252
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: to be ups and downs, and there's going to be

253
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: different paths and things that you didn't expect, and good

254
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: and bad, and but to finally get that call, to

255
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: know that all that hard work paid off, it's definitely emotional.

256
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: I remember being emotional myself. I was picked on the

257
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: third round and the first day, but it was later

258
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: in the evening, and you just never forget that feeling

259
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: of being validated for all the things that you've done

260
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: leading up to that point. Is the high school work,

261
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: the college work, the time before the draft, all those things,

262
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,359
Speaker 1: all the hours that you put in working and conditioning

263
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: your body and making those plays and doing the things

264
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: you need to do to finally get that call. It's

265
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: something special that I know every player can go back

266
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: to that moment precisely. I remember, they can remember what

267
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: they had on, they can remember what they ate that

268
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: day because it was such a pivotal moment in their

269
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: life that after that call, nothing is going to be

270
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: the same like it was before that call. You know.

271
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: It's interesting is he only had one scholarship from Tulsa,

272
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: so his mother decided she was going to use some

273
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: of her four or one K money to go out

274
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: and it was at eleven different places he visited. I

275
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: think it was twelve different camps and then he finally

276
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: got so you could just see the outpouring support to

277
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: where you know, obviously you know she raised him and

278
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: she was helping him, and now to get rewarded for this,

279
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was touching right there. The small town

280
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: of Hominy, Oklahoma, population thirty five hundred, where yes, everyone

281
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: knows who you are, everyone knows your name, so it's

282
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: not just David Collins and his family, but basically he's

283
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: got an entire town now looking forward to seeing him

284
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: play on Sundays as we are as well. Update to

288
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Day one inside linebackers Avian Collins. Day two, in fact,

289
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: the only pick of Day two for the Arizona Cardinals.

290
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: Remember they did not have a third round selection. We

291
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: will talk about second round pick wide receiver Rondel Moore

292
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: and what he means to this offense moving forward. That

293
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: is straight ahead. It is the Cardinals Red Sea Report

294
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: talking about the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. Craig Rayeldu,

295
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki, and pertran Berry here on the Arizona Cardinals

296
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: Radio Network. With the ninth pick in twenty one NFL Draft,

297
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals select run down more receiver for due

298
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: just talked about trying to get faster over the top.

299
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I say that because there's a lot of buzz about

300
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: them maybe trading up for Jaylen Waddle. But Rondale Moore

301
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: can't fly a little four to three. You can use

302
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: him on some of these gadget plays. You get him

303
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: on the fly suite, jet suits, the run after catch.

304
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Not only is he fast, he is sturdy and strong

305
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: and once he breaks tackles and gets out whilk the shield.

306
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: He's gone on the wheel route, double moves he's got.

307
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: That's not only a second gear, but a third year

308
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: down the field, and college football fans saw that third

309
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: down gear that Daniel Jeremiah the NFL Network talked about

310
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: on Day two the NFL Draft a lot in twenty

311
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: eighteen when he really exploded onto the scene at Purdue

312
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: five foot seven, one hundred and eighty one pounds. As

313
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: Kelvin Beecham made the announcement, the forty ninth overall pick,

314
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver Rondel Moore as now an Arrozona Cardinals, we

315
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: say welcome back to the Cardinals Red Sea Report Craig Raildu,

316
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki, and Bertram Berry focusing on Day two and

317
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: we go offense here. Apologies be train, but just give

318
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: us a little bit of some breathing room here to

319
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: talk about the Day two pick. And when you look

320
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: at this Day two pick, MJ. He certainly cornerback is

321
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: a bigger need than wide receiver. Yet at that point,

322
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: at forty nine overall, three corners had already been selected

323
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: in the second round, and two picks ahead of the

324
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals Asante. Samuel was drafted by the Chargers, which I

325
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: know you had mentioned before is possibly being a pick

326
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: at forty nine. They definitely had interest, and you stick

327
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: to yearboard. He's a three year starter at Perdue. He

328
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: lined up across the formation. He played it under Jeff

329
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: Brohms spread scheme, feasting on jets, handoffs, quick game targets, screens,

330
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: shallow crosses, dig slants. It's amazing when the numbers he

331
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: put up back and he had one hundred and fourteen catches,

332
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: two thousand, two hundred and fifteen all purpose shars. But

333
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: he's missed eleven of the last eighteen games based on

334
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: two season due to injury. Yeah, his true freshman season

335
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, but twenty nineteen and twenty twenty only

336
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: played a combined seven games. B Train, you look at

337
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: what more might be able to do within this offense

338
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 1: with the DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green, Christian Kirk. Those are

339
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: the top four right now, and then we'll see what

340
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: happens with Andy Isabella and Keishawn Johnson. But hey, coach

341
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury called More a jitterbug. You want to be

342
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: able to get this guy in space with the football.

343
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: I think it puts those other receivers on notice that

344
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: they're not waiting. The Cardinals are not waiting on the

345
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: receivers to develop. They need to be good now and

346
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: they're going to search high and low and find somebody

347
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: that can help the top two receivers out on the roster.

348
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: And so that I think if you're Andy Isabella, if

349
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: you're Keyshawn Johnson, I mean, I really think you have

350
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: to make sure that you come in ready to go

351
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: right now, and you can't afford to have any slow

352
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: start whatsoever because they are looking to have that offense

353
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: coming on all cylinders sooner than later. So bringing in

354
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: a guy that high that you know is going to

355
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: play that to me, that sends a direct message to

356
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: that receiving room and something the Cardinals prioritize going into

357
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: the offseason kick returner and punt returner, and he can

358
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: do both of them. This is an indictment on Andy

359
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: Isabella and Christian Kirk's going in the final year of

360
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: his contract and he's dealt with some injuries. He did

361
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: have as many touchdowns as hop last year, didn't have

362
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: the same amount of targets or yardage, But this is

363
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: an indictment on Andy Isabella, and so to me at

364
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: this point, I mean, I don't know if they can

365
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: count on him. So you look at the top four receivers.

366
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: You have Hopkins, you have aj Green, I'll put Kirk

367
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: Thirk because he'd been in the system, and then you

368
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: got more and more. Is gonna be dressed on game day?

369
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and then all of a sudden, he keeps

370
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: five or six. They may have to add another receiver

371
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: at some point, and then we haven't even discussed Larry Fitzgerald. Yeah,

372
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: he is still quote unquote technically still on the market,

373
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with number eleven going forward.

374
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm in agreement with everyone because you know,

375
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: a couple of years back, if Isabella had proven to

376
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: be that slot receiver or that jitterbug, as Kingsbury talked

377
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: about Rondel more than Rondel Moore's not even a consideration

378
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: at this point here on the second day of the draft,

379
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: because you would have already solved that problem. But that

380
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: question still remains as far as does Kingsbury have the

381
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: necessary weapons to run the offense that he wants to run.

382
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore is now next up for the Arizona Cardinals.

383
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: Let's take you behind the scenes. Courtesy asy Cardinals dot Com.

384
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: Steve Kime making the phone call to Rondel Moore. Rondel Moore,

385
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: the wide out kick returner vertic will jump like forty

386
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: two and a half inches. He's a dog, right, Yeah,

387
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna come in and think he's the man, be

388
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: a pro and the balls in his hands. He is

389
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: special special immediate impact returnability. He'll be ready to roll. Hello, Rondale,

390
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Steve Kime, Arizona Cardinals. How you doing good? How are

391
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: you good? Man? I'm ready to come out to the desert,

392
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: no doubt. Let's do it all right good, I'm gonna

393
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: let you talk to our head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. Rondel

394
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm great man, I'm allt better now

395
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: and we got to you. We're ready to roll. Man.

396
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: The things we'll be able to do with you in

397
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: the offense, I cannot wait to get you here. The

398
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: big point where I think more will have the most

399
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: success immediately is something MG you brought up is on

400
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: special teams, because b train when you look at special teams,

401
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: whether it's kickoff or punt return, I think that is

402
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: an area where this I don't think it's talked a

403
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: lot about. It's not ignored. It's just not quote unquote

404
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: sexy like the offense or as you like to say,

405
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: the defense winning ball games and being dominant on that

406
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: side of the ball. But special teams, if you can

407
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: get that ball in space, make one defender miss, maybe

408
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: you do have a better starting field position, whether on

409
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: opening drives or after a punt return. I really believe

410
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: that if you can enhance your special teams, you can

411
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: tremendously help out the offense because now you're not asking

412
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: the offense to go eighty yards every single play. If

413
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: you can flip the field by getting a nice punt

414
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: return or a kickoff return and get into the forty

415
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: or the thirty, it increases the chances of getting points

416
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: on that particular drive. So I really believe that bringing

417
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: in more I think that's going to only help this offense.

418
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: I think it's going to take some of the pressure

419
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: off of Kylin Murray's going to take some of the

420
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: pressure off of coach Keisbury and the rest of the

421
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: offense to have to generate points and be that juggernaut

422
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: every single time they get the ball. So the less

423
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: you have to go to score, the better your chances

424
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: of scoring. So I like this pick. I think he's

425
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: going to do a lot of great things on special

426
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: teams first, and then he can gradually ingratiate himself into

427
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: the offense and find his niche there. But yeah, I

428
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: could see him paying immediate dividends in the special teams,

429
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: and I think that's something that the Cardinals are long

430
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: overdue for. I feel like it's deja vous. We were

431
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: talking about Andie Isabella like this a couple of years ago.

432
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: They hoped Andie Isabella would be the kickoff returner, I mean,

433
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: with the speed getting the open field. They hoped Christian

434
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: Kirk would be that, and that's not the case right now.

435
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean he's going to be dressed every game.

436
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: He's going to be the third or fourth receiver. And

437
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: we could see him in the backfield. Yes, we heard

438
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: that as well from Kingsbury. As far as whether you

439
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: start there or toss, you can motion him and get

440
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: him in motion, and all he needs is a slipper yep,

441
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: get him the ball in as many different ways as possible,

442
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: something that we heard a lot on Friday night after

443
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: that second round selection of rondel More. Let's hear more

444
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: about rondell More. The general manager Steve Kin. When you

445
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: see his body type, you see a guy who's on

446
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: the shorter end but really thick and muscled up, really explosive.

447
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Jumped forty two and a half inches, ran four two

448
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: nine six sixty three cone. Again, those numbers are off

449
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: the charts, very similar measurable wise, height, weight and speed.

450
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: And you look at those numbers. Guy like Tyreek Hill

451
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: sort of in that form is explosive enough to play outside, play, inside, reverses, screens,

452
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: all the different things. You want to get the ball

453
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: in his hands and let him create on the perimeter.

454
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: I want to give out another number, and Betran, this

455
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: is directed to you because I want to put some

456
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: comparison here. But we have all seen the other video

457
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: that kind of made its rounds again on Friday, and

458
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: that is more squatting six hundred pounds and remember he

459
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: weighs a buck eighty one. Anytime that you have that

460
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: type of strength in your legs, you can break a

461
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: lot of tackles. You can also change direction with a

462
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: lot of force and and pick up speed very quickly.

463
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: So those type of things. He's a freak nature of ask.

464
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: He's a freaking nature as far as athletes is concerned.

465
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: And the fact that he can do all of these

466
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: things and and and still maintain that that four two

467
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: nine type speed. Uh, he can he can accelerate extremely

468
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: fast and not being a bigger guy, that's going to

469
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: help him. When you start talking about pump returns and

470
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: getting lost in the trees, you can, you know, kind

471
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: of you know, dug down and then you know, change

472
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: direction and before the punt cover team can find you,

473
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: you're already gaining ground. So there's a lot of advantages

474
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: to Rondell having that that type of body type and

475
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: that type of strength. That's only going to help him

476
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: be a tremendous, tremendous return earn an athlete once he

477
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: gets his hands on the ball. Two other notes on

478
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore. One, he earned a business degree in two

479
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: and a half years, so he is certainly very intelligence.

480
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: And second of all, he worked out at Exos in Dallas,

481
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: where Kyler Murray works out at. So perhaps MJ you

482
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: got some familiarity at least the early relationship has begun well.

483
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Kyler Murray sents some film to

484
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: Steve Kin. We did hear that, yes, well just that

485
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: he that he liked the pick, like what he had

486
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: seen out of more on film at produced. So yeah,

487
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: and look, keep a quarterback happy then, everyone, I mean

488
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: again input not making the decision, but just offering himput

489
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: advice if you will, or make number one happy. So

490
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: Rondell Moore enters a wide receiver room that at the

491
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: moments totals thirteen players. But certainly now if you look

492
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: at where he fits on that depth chart, if you will, yes,

493
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: it's Hopkins, it's Green, it's Kirk, it's more. And then

494
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: we'll kind of figure out how the rest trickles out,

495
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: and that will happen during the course of the offseason

496
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: and training camp. But I do think that special teams

497
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: MJ is where he will have the impact immediately. And

498
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: maybe we are surprised where we do see some three

499
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: and four wide receiver sets right out of the gate

500
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: with him on the field. Well, b Train's exactly right.

501
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: Just just think you know, teams are obviously kicking a

502
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: little bit shorter, trying to force you just not to

503
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: get to the twenty five. I think if the ball's

504
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: two or three yards in the end zone. He's coming out.

505
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: You get to the forty yard line, like b Train said,

506
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, ten yards you're at midfield now.

507
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to I know they want

508
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: to go eleven and twelve personnel, more physicality. But if

509
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: you're in a two minute or four minute drive, you

510
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: got to get in a field goal range, why not

511
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: go four wide? Spread him out well. In his career

512
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: at Purdue, forty two kickoffs for eight hundred and thirteen

513
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: yards seventeen Hunt returns four hundred and eighteen yards, So

514
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: certainly sounds he's got that burst to speed to where

515
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: maybe you're starting field physicis on kickoffs is no longer

516
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: twenty five yards or less. Maybe you get out to

517
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: the thirty thirty three thirty five yard line for Kyler

518
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: Murray and company. Subscribe to Arizona Cardinals podcast on Apple podcast, Spotify,

00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: had a halftime here on this week's edition to the

524
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea reports. When we come back, Yes, back

525
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: to the discussion about the defense and cornerbacks finally in

526
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: the fold. That's all straight ahead here on the Arizona

527
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio Network. With the one hundred and thirty sixth

528
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: pick in the twenty twenty one NFL Draft, the Arizona

529
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: Cardinals select Marco Wilson, cornerback, Florida smart player too and

530
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: that's what they val you run down Moore cratuated for

531
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: due in two and a half years and Zaven Collins

532
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: was a high school valedictorian. Marco Wilson aptitude tests off

533
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: the chart, smart player with their of course athletic ability. Yeah,

534
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: he should be known for more than throwing the shoe

535
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: against ls shoe. He's a good player, trained by his

536
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: father who was a college defensive back. His brother Quincy Wilson,

537
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: also in the NFL. Good bloodlines, good intellect. Marco Wilson

538
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 1: fourth round, one hundred and thirty sixth pick overall. Cardinals

539
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: did not have a fourth round pick, m Jay. Remember

540
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: that they just had the fifth round, sixth round, and

541
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: seventh round, so there was going to be a long wait. Yet,

542
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: what do they do. They saw someone that they wanted

543
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: and went out and got him in a trade with

544
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, moved up into the fourth round and

545
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: finally got their cornerback who can play both outside and

546
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: slot corner. Certainly a Day three corner. I don't know

547
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: what the expectations are, might be hard initially, but someone

548
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: that I know, the Cardinals wouldn't have went and got

549
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: if they didn't think he could come in and contribute well.

550
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: And I like his size five eleven one ninety one.

551
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean he always like a little bit taller corners,

552
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: but his measurable is really good. He ran a four

553
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: to three four. I mean on paper right now, you

554
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: gotta think he's possibly four or five, right yeah, based

555
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: off I mean he's in there. You talk about the

556
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: guys that are coming back, Robert Alford, Byron Murphy, and

557
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: then he'd thrown the newest Cardinal at the cornerback position.

558
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: I guess in free agency was Malcolm Butler. And this

559
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: guy can play both inside and outside. So you look

560
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: at the slot position. You have Murphy, you have Chase Whittaker,

561
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: and now you have Wilson. So I think versatility and flexibility.

562
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: But I do like his size one hundred and ninety

563
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: one pounds. He's certainly beatrained, turned a lot of heads

564
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: at the pro day that everyone was focused on Kyle Pitts,

565
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask. Yet at Florida's Pro day of four three

566
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: seven forty he out jumped the VerTech officially comes in

567
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: at forty three and a half vertical jumps. So he

568
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: is certainly very athletic. Now it's just a matter of, Okay,

569
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: does he have the ball skills required to be good

570
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: at the NFL level? Does the ball skills and does

571
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: he have the strength? And the thing that I think

572
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: you'll you'll look at and say yes to is the

573
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: fact that he played at the highest level of competition.

574
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: I think we all agree the SEC was as good

575
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: as it got as far as competition on a game

576
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: end and game out basis. So the fact that he

577
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: was able to have some success in that conference that

578
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: does give you an idea of how he's going to

579
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: translate to the NFL. And the fact that he has

580
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: those other measurables. Yeah, I put little stock in the measurables,

581
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: but I think you can't ignore eye popping measurables like

582
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: he had. And the fact that if his film matches

583
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: any what his measurables are, then I think he has

584
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: a chance of being an outstanding player in the NFL.

585
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: For a very long time, he's faced a lot of

586
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: fairer adversity, including two ACL surgery. One had happened in

587
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: high school and one happened in twenty eighteen. But clearly,

588
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, just based on his measurables is forty time,

589
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: it looks like you know, again, I think that the

590
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: lower tour, so he's more much more thicker than some

591
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: of these corners out there, So again, just flood the position.

592
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: I still think they got to bring in some more corners, though,

593
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some veteran guys out there that just

594
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: waiting for the right time. Maybe because of the offseasons uncertainty,

595
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: we don't see these guys until we get closer and

596
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: maybe OTAs or training camp. And as you would expect,

597
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: Wilson thought he should have been drafted higher. I think

598
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: a lot of players that hear their name called on

599
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: Day three, I think they should have been drafted a

600
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: lot higher. So there is a sentiments around the Cardinals

601
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about general manager Steve come and head

602
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury that perhaps this deal of this draft

603
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: is landing Marco Wilson in the fourth round. I would

604
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: say based on need kind of going into the weekend

605
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: and how things fell. Marco Wilson, just his athleticism, his workout,

606
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: you know what we think of him as a staff,

607
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: as a personnel department. I mean, he's a big time

608
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 1: talent to get where we got him. I would probably

609
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: echo Cliff sentiments really just because when you look at

610
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: the big picture, the guy has got such a high

611
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: ceiling yet has a pretty high floor as well in

612
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: terms of you know, I think he's gonna be a

613
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: really good player. I think, you know, when you look

614
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: at the risk to reward, I think it's pretty high.

615
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: So cornerback selected in the fourth round and in the

616
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: sixth round, the Cardinals once again went corner. In fact,

617
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: they had two picks in the sixth round, but their

618
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: second selection, Tay Gowan Corner out of central flooridat six

619
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: foot one, one hundred and eighty six pounds, ran a

620
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: four four seven at his forty There's just not a

621
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: lot of tape on Gwen because he opted out last season. MJ. Yeah,

622
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: and he faced a challenge upbringing, including being homeless first

623
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: stretch due to his daughter being born premature. In July

624
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, he opted out of the twenty twenty

625
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: season entered to the NFL Draft. The overall view on

626
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: him favorable length, confidence, ball skills, he has averaged beating

627
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: tightness in his transition will be tough to mask versus

628
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: NFL top route runners. He's got a great backstory b

629
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: train as far as his MJ pointed out the adversity,

630
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: and then kind brought up the fact that because he

631
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: did not play last season and he made the decision

632
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: based off of what was best for his family as

633
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: far as not playing in twenty twenty, but perhaps might

634
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: have slipped through the cracks because you look back three

635
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: games in twenty seventeen, played at community college in twenty eighteen,

636
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: he did have a full season in twenty nineteen, and

637
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: then there's no tape of him at all last year,

638
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: so a little bit harder to evaluate some of those

639
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: players that weren't on the field last year. It is

640
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: harder to evaluate him, but I think there's an advantage too.

641
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: At one he's the guy that, as you talked about,

642
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: he feels like he could have gone higher, should have

643
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: gone higher. So he's going to come in with an

644
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: immediate chip on his shoulder. And those guys usually in focus,

645
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: ready to prove their point, and I think they're motivated

646
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: unlike the other guys who have had an early decent

647
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: career and had a normal trajection, if you will, up

648
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: up the ladder as far as as talent meeting opportunity

649
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: and all those type of things. So he's a guy

650
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: that is very mature, already a father, so he's not

651
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: going to be a guy that's going to create a

652
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: lot of problems off the field per se because of

653
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: that that level of maturity, and he's going to be

654
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: appreciative of everything given to him being is that he

655
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: was homeless too. You don't ever discount a guy that's

656
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: had to work for every single thing that he's got

657
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: thus far in his life. So I think those type

658
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: of guys usually they surprise you in a positive way

659
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: just based on their desire and their willingness to do

660
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. Speaking of that chip on his shoulder,

661
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: here is Gowen talking about not hearing his name until

662
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: round six. Just now, I've been counting out my whole life.

663
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to show on a big platform that I

664
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: could play, and now I'm about to show doctor dominant

665
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: on the NFL. I'd be a Tom Brady other corners.

666
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: I think I needed this. I needed this in my home,

667
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: my journey, and in the way I'm a prosy game.

668
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: So I want to say thank you for the way.

669
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: Actually it's a great response, and I think he's got

670
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: the right mindset MJ. To come in and once again,

671
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: it might be on special teams that you see him

672
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: initially play well and then maybe work his way into

673
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: that cornerback role, because I think it's asking a lot,

674
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: especially when you're a Day three pick in the sixth round,

675
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: to come in and be that starter week one, it's

676
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: just not going to happen. But as someone that is

677
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: hungry and has the passion to play on Sundays, yeah,

678
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: right now, the Cardinals have seven quarterbacks under contract, and

679
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how it shakes out, but it's

680
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: important to him to be there for the rookie mini camp,

681
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: get a chance to quart a training camp and preseason games.

682
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: We'll see you. Because they usually keep five corners or

683
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: four corners and five safety, so it's going to be

684
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: a numbers game. Clearly, when you look at Marcus Wilson,

685
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: he's probably a more of a priority at this point.

686
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: But again, you can never have enough depth and worst

687
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: Jason he made land on the practice squad. Let's go

688
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: back to the sixth round. I mentioned that Wilson was

689
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: the first of two Excuse me, Gowen was the second

690
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: of two picks in the sixth round. The first selection

691
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: two ten overall was edge rusher Victor demukg out of

692
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: duke six foot one, two hundred and sixty two pounds.

693
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: Be trying to want to get your thoughts because general

694
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: manager Steve Kim said that Victor kind of reminds them

695
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of Marcus Golden in terms of size,

696
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: and it's just that high motor that never stop, always

697
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: trying to get after the ball carrier. And that's what

698
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: you want as a as an edge rusher, as a

699
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: guy that is going to come in and be a

700
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: rotation guy to start his career. He's smart, so he's

701
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: going to pick up a lot of the defense rather quickly,

702
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: so he's not gonna be falling behind and and be

703
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: a liability. From that standpoint, He's gonna know what to

704
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: do he's going to be in the right position and

705
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: he's athletic enough to make those plays. And of course,

706
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: as you talked about with the cornerbacks, the special team

707
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: is going to be another way that he's going to

708
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: make an immediate impact on this team, more so than

709
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback. Of course, you will have some

710
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: opportunities to do that, but as a guy with that

711
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: kind of size and that kind of smart you want

712
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: to make sure you give him every opportunity to go

713
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: out there and showcase his talents, and I think special

714
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: teams will be the first way. And then if he's

715
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: able to get into that rotation and rush the quarterback,

716
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: then that's an absolute bonus for this team. In twenty

717
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: twenty one. He was born in Nigeria, moved to the

718
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: US when he was eight years old, playing primarily soccer

719
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 1: growing up. He picked up football in the eighth grade.

720
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: Four year starter at Duke. You know, you look at

721
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: his he did a really good job when it came

722
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: to run defense. He combined seventy eight quarterback pressures over

723
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: two seasons and he left Durham in school history with

724
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: twenty one and a half sacks. And you go to Duke,

725
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: you gotta think he's very smart. Yes see, four year

726
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: starters you mentioned played defensive end and now will be

727
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 1: asked to rush the passer as an outside linebacker. Also

728
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: selected on day three, speaking of special team, safety James

729
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: Wiggins out of Cincinnat addie who kind believes can quote

730
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: play all four core special teams early in his career,

731
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: and someone who told the media that he enjoys playing

732
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: special teams. And then the final pick, number two forty

733
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: seven overall center Michael Manette's six foot four, three and

734
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: one pounds out of Penn State. Another three year starter,

735
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: two year captain. He's not going to supplant Rodney Hudson,

736
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: but he is anxious to learn from who he called

737
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: the best center in the league. Three years starter, captain.

738
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: I mean again, Rodney Hudson's under contract for the next

739
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: two years, possibly three. He already knows that Rodney Hudson,

740
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: he mentioned he's the best center in football. So at

741
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: that point, just be a sponge and learn and hopefully

742
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: he's part of the future. Manette told the media, quote,

743
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: I'm going to outwork people and just compete, and that's

744
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: what you want to hear from all of your rookies.

745
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: Be trained. As far as when they come in and

746
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: hope that they don't think that just because they got

747
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 1: drafted and where they got drafted there that they're set

748
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: that they've made this team. Rookie's a better see than

749
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: I heard them to just come in, learn their playbook,

750
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: learn what to do, and don't hurt the team when

751
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: you get your number calls. So if they can do that,

752
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: then they're going to have a very productive first year.

753
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: If they can't do those things, then they're going to

754
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: find themselves on the outside looking in and maybe looking

755
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: to be replaced in the next year's draft. So it's

756
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: it's always a luxury to have those pleasant surprises. But

757
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: I think Steve Kim and company know that if they

758
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: don't work out, then there's the next train coming to

759
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: Allah twenty twenty two. As far as as rookies that

760
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: can come in and help this program, you know, he

761
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: including the weight room and he had a seven hundred

762
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: twenty five pounds squad. He's known as a fast hiller.

763
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: He recovered from twenty nineteen ACL injury in five months.

764
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,479
Speaker 1: Talking about tbkg oh Wiggins Wiggins Okay, someone that yeah,

765
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: he's was not on the field at all in twenty nineteen,

766
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: and they say acl injuries. It's sometimes that second season

777
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: for the Big Red the Arizona Cardinals, same big We're

778
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: gonna every day. This kid is an athletic break a

779
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: monster in a great pick. I think the Cardinals kind

780
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: of start. Rundoo might be the most dynamic player in

781
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: this entire draft. Rundal More, we'll get them first, much

782
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: more chi After three days of the twenty twenty one

783
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: NFL drafted Cardinals, at the end of it all, half

784
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: seven new players. Victor deepon cage again. Pleasure and it

785
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: Saton Collins with a second. That's right, seven new faces,

786
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: five of which are on the defensive side of the ball.

787
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: As we continue here on the Cardinals, Red seer Port,

788
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: Craig Riel and Mike Trecky and Bertram Berry. And yes,

789
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: everyone's going to focus on the Day one and Day

790
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: two picks because you want those selections to play and

791
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 1: play early. Of course, we're talking about inside linebackers Evan

792
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: Collins and wide receiver Rondel Moore. That need to see

793
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: these players on the field. Something General manager Steve come

794
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,479
Speaker 1: made a point of emphasis to the head coach here's

795
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. We knew we had to get better than

796
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: items for please with how that that thing ended last year,

797
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 1: and we wanted to improve through the draft. And Steve

798
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: made that crystal clear to the coaching staff and personnelity department.

799
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: Those first two picks you need to play and play

800
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: early and play a lot, and that was the mission.

801
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: And I feel good about where it's at. It's going

802
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: to be interesting because on paper, Isaiah Simmons and Collins

803
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: are respected to start, but then you got you know,

804
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: tener verlejo Zeke Turner, Evan Weaver, and then Jordan Hicks

805
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: and obviously Jordan Hicks took a pay cut, so be

806
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: curious to see how that works out. And last time

807
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: I check, Craig, Davandre Campbell is still a free agent.

808
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: It's still out there if the Cardinals want to knock

809
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: on his door. But specifically about Collins, b train as

810
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: a Mike linebacker. That's the quarterback of the defense. And

811
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: if you're hoping him to be that guy week one,

812
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: how steve steep of a climb is that for Collins,

813
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: he's got as steep as you think Craig. And the

814
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: thing that I would say is the fact that he

815
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: played the position in college four years to really develop

816
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: his eyes, because that's going to be the biggest transition

817
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: from college to pro level is the eyes. What are

818
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: you looking at? What are the keys that you're looking

819
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: for on a particular play to give you that that

820
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: extra split second to react that much faster. And I

821
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: think for him being a smart guy, he's going to

822
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: be studious. He's going to be a stickler for details.

823
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: And as long as he can train those eyes to

824
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: be able to see pulling guards, to see the track

825
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: of the fullback, to see where the running back is tracking,

826
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: he's he cutting back all those type of things, and

827
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: then you know, be able to find that tight end

828
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: or see crossers as they come in front of him.

829
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: All those little intricacies are going to be paramounts for

830
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: him to figure out and be able to diagnose them

831
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: and apply that information in a quick in a quick

832
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: period of time. Because if he can do that, then

833
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: he is going to be able to come in and

834
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: be productive right or right right away, be trained. You

835
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: dealt with it. If you're a guy like Jordan Hicks

836
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: who took a pay cut, I mean, what do you

837
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: what do you do? You help them out? I mean,

838
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: he's a team player, he's been a team captain. It's

839
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: this unfortunate because it's a business based on results. It's competition.

840
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: But ultimately, once you have the same uniform on, once

841
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: you have the bat and hillman on, we're all pulling

842
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: to try to get the same thing accomplished. We're trying

843
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: to win championships and all that stuff can be figured

844
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: out in the off season, but when you're on the

845
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: field and you're trying to win, you want everybody to

846
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: be up to speed as best they can, good insight,

847
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: be trained. Let's do it again next week. There'll be

848
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: a lot of time to discuss all of these traff

849
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: picks as we work our way into the off season

850
