Speaker 1: Ron will fleep. It doesn't get any better than that.
Speaker 1: Unleash the far Hollow came a weekend early for the
Speaker 1: Cardinals and Seahawks. There they were those tricker treaters from Seattle.
Speaker 1: You can always tell because they're the ones wearing gortex.
Speaker 1: And they came striding up to the Cardinals front door,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll and company. And they got the trick,
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals got the treat and now we earned
Speaker 1: a bye week, and let's hope the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: is a shining example of what to do during the
Speaker 1: bye week instead of what not to do during a
Speaker 1: bye week, because, honestly, Wolf, last year, if I flash
Speaker 1: back to a year ago at this time during the
Speaker 1: bye week, I should have known, really that the Cardinals
Speaker 1: were going to come out and have a lackluster performance
Speaker 1: coming off the bye based on your performance in the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage. So let's hope that you're ready to
Speaker 1: bring it and you got your mind right and you're
Speaker 1: staying focused here on what really still is a game
Speaker 1: week if you think about it during the season. Okay, Pauli,
Speaker 1: why do you say it's a game where during the
Speaker 1: season when it's the bye week, why do you say that?
Speaker 1: It's very interesting to be well, because a year ago
Speaker 1: they really got out of game mode, they got out
Speaker 1: of football mode, if you will, and they had a
Speaker 1: hard time getting back, and Cliff Kingsbury said, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're going to approach it differently next year. And it's
Speaker 1: sort of been out of choice and out of necessity.
Speaker 1: For example, every single day the players still have to test,
Speaker 1: so every single day they still have to go into work,
Speaker 1: so there is no opportunity for these guys to go
Speaker 1: some cruise or island vacation or even go to SoCal
Speaker 1: because guess what, Vegas. No, that's all out. Every single
Speaker 1: day they got to come into work. And if you
Speaker 1: listen to the coaches, some of these guys are using
Speaker 1: that to their advantage, getting in some extra time in
Speaker 1: the weight rooms, some extra film work, and you know
Speaker 1: they hope it pays off next Sunday against Miami Poul.
Speaker 1: I know that we've talked about this many many times
Speaker 1: over the years, but honestly, you know, I hated the BUYEO,
Speaker 1: hated the bye right, and it was just it was
Speaker 1: just because I didn't like getting out of that routine,
Speaker 1: getting out of that groove that you got into during
Speaker 1: the regular season. I wanted to feel miserable for the
Speaker 1: most part, because I was miserable. I didn't want any vacation.
Speaker 1: I didn't want the palm tree, I didn't want the beach.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to think of anything like that. Get
Speaker 1: the season over, then we'll think of stuff like that. Well,
Speaker 1: what if I told you the Arizona Cardinals are five
Speaker 1: and two, and we'll get into how they got there
Speaker 1: with a winning against Seattle next. But what if I
Speaker 1: told you, if we want to look ahead a little bit,
Speaker 1: that Jalen Thompson could very easily come off the IR,
Speaker 1: one of your starting safeties, that Max Williams might be
Speaker 1: tracking to be back in uniform, that Jr. Sweezy could
Speaker 1: be off IR and back at right guard. Even with
Speaker 1: Chard Lawrence now with a banged up defensive line, perhaps
Speaker 1: the rookie or Schard Lawrence might be in the rotation. Again,
Speaker 1: what are you suggesting, Polly, there might be better things
Speaker 1: to come in the second half of the season for
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, because right now they're sitting really really
Speaker 1: good five in two and oh in the NFC West
Speaker 1: two and O on the national stage. They look good.
Speaker 1: For the win against Seattle, they also lost Zach Allen
Speaker 1: who went on the IR. They lost Kenyan Drake to
Speaker 1: the ankle injury. It's unclear he did not go on IR.
Speaker 1: So we're hoping that's less than three games. But for
Speaker 1: those two losses, they are getting some reinforcements back. I
Speaker 1: guess that's the point there, not that Justin Murray hasn't
Speaker 1: filled in very well. That not that the Cardinals old
Speaker 1: line hasn't played very well this season. In fact, I
Speaker 1: buried the lead our guest tonight and name you're familiar.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh boy. Let the good times roll. A
Speaker 1: little flashback to twenty nineteen and some normalcy around here.
Speaker 1: What do we need? We need some normalcy. We need
Speaker 1: Big DJ Humphries as our very special guests on the
Speaker 1: big red rate. How about that, you know, well if
Speaker 1: you can refer to him as Captain DJ Humphries. All
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Dog four to go
Speaker 1: in a tie game here at overtime thirty four piece
Speaker 1: three receivers to the right of Wilson. Gotta get a
Speaker 1: stop here. Thirty fourteen play clock at one snapped to
Speaker 1: Wilson quick for over the middle. Picked off hitch it
Speaker 1: or something at the forty yard Life Masaiah Simmons has
Speaker 1: a running far side of the forty five men of
Speaker 1: bounds at the fifty yard line. Fifty seven seconds. Life
Speaker 1: Cardinals have the ball man in time out. The rookie
Speaker 1: made a play. Isaiah Simmons is right there with the
Speaker 1: sweeth hands. Want to catch by Isaiah Simmons forty eight
Speaker 1: yard attempt for Zane Gonzale is looking to win the
Speaker 1: game and get some redemption here in overtime, twenty seconds
Speaker 1: to go, Snap falls down, pick from Gonzalez is off.
Speaker 1: It looks good. It is gone. Click Cardinals win it
Speaker 1: an incredible finish at State Farm Stadium. Click Cardinals takedown
Speaker 1: Seattle thirty seven thirty four redemption for Zane Gonzalez Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Din just beats you, Sattle. They beat Seattle at their
Speaker 1: own game with a ten point comeback in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter and then a finish at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: In fact, after the game, Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll
Speaker 1: literally at a loss to explain the loss because previously
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had been thirty and oh in those situations
Speaker 1: with a ten point leader more at halftime. Think about that.
Speaker 1: It is the Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are satan Ford and well, if we
Speaker 1: can go a lot of different directions, like the fact
Speaker 1: the old line didn't allow us sack or a quarterback hit.
Speaker 1: That's my way of saying that DJ Humphreys will join
Speaker 1: us starting in the very next segment. Here on the
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford and Gilbert. I
Speaker 1: know it's sort of a broad question, but with everything
Speaker 1: half in that game, what comes to mind the most
Speaker 1: would you like the most about that thirty seven thirty
Speaker 1: four win? While Paul, I would have to start on
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and how much better
Speaker 1: they played defensively in that second half the first half?
Speaker 1: Think about it? What was it, Paul, three hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards? Yes, at first half, pay almost four
Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense giving up to Russell Wilson to
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. And they're good. They're one of the best,
Speaker 1: if not the best offense in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: So they are good. But boy, the difference between the
Speaker 1: second half and the first half, that to me was
Speaker 1: what encouraged me the most. The way the defense came out.
Speaker 1: They still gave up some chunk plays, they still gave
Speaker 1: up some yards, but they only give up seven points
Speaker 1: and basically three quarters of football seven points. That to
Speaker 1: me tells me an awful lot about an identity that
Speaker 1: might be forming for the Arizona Cardinals defense. And if
Speaker 1: you talk defense, how about three interceptions of Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: when he came into the game. The Sunday Night game
Speaker 1: with three picks total in the previous five games. Think
Speaker 1: about that. And by the way, it was an epic
Speaker 1: classic game. And ninety eight SEVENFM Arizona Sports is going
Speaker 1: to replay tomorrow night all the key moments from the
Speaker 1: Sunday game. They caught a Cards Classic, a game for
Speaker 1: the ages from six to nine. Luclapins He's gonna host
Speaker 1: and it's a replay, a three hour special featuring all
Speaker 1: the signature play by play moments from the call from
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. And so that's gonna be good
Speaker 1: stuff tomorrow night. In fact, speaking of the game, after
Speaker 1: the game, here's Kyler Murray just on the mindset needed
Speaker 1: for that fourth quarter in overtime to take down the Seahawks. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 1: I don't think I smiled at all game honestly, just
Speaker 1: because it just felt like, you know, we just you
Speaker 1: just had to have your head down and just keep grinding.
Speaker 1: For me personally, in mindset was just just move the ball, um,
Speaker 1: you know, do what I do, move the ball, beat
Speaker 1: myself and lead the guys down the field and make
Speaker 1: smart decisions, take care of the ball. You know, whatever
Speaker 1: I see, go with it. Trusted dual with conviction. Of course,
Speaker 1: the ironical part of that, as I make up a word,
Speaker 1: is the fact that he was smiling at one moment
Speaker 1: on the thirty five yard touchdown past too d hop.
Speaker 1: Was that a smile, Paul? Or was the grimace? Was that?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like a like an oh, dirt?
Speaker 1: Is I'm gonna throw it? You know? Or was he was? He?
Speaker 1: You know? Late I said the same thing when I
Speaker 1: first saw to go, you know what, he's probably gritting
Speaker 1: his teeth more smiling. But when we learned the circumstances,
Speaker 1: and we'll get into this in detail a little bit
Speaker 1: later with DJ Humphreys, but when we learned about the
Speaker 1: high jinks surrounding that play and the deceptive play that
Speaker 1: they foisted on the Seahawks, I then thought, maybe he
Speaker 1: is smiling after all. You know what I love, though, BALI,
Speaker 1: whether he was smiling or not, is just the resiliency
Speaker 1: of not only Kyler Murray but the entire team. I
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a better team characteristic you could
Speaker 1: have for a football team than being resilient, the ability
Speaker 1: to get off the ground when things look bad and
Speaker 1: continue to fight, continue to ball out. They got down
Speaker 1: ten nothing after a horrible start. Would you say it
Speaker 1: was a horrible start for them ball? Yes, it was right.
Speaker 1: They never stopped competing the second quarter. There was a
Speaker 1: sequence in that second quarter where Seattle, at a thirteen
Speaker 1: seven lead, had a first and goal at the three.
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker came up with a gray play, an unbelievable pick,
Speaker 1: first and goal at the Seattle a right after he
Speaker 1: got walked by DK metcalf and you can't get it
Speaker 1: in and you go for it on fourth down and
Speaker 1: you get stuffed. Now, Paul, if you were on the
Speaker 1: sideline right there, and you were really close to the sideline,
Speaker 1: how deflating do you think that would be? Sequence of events?
Speaker 1: So many times, so many teams, they would have been
Speaker 1: defeated right there. Game ding ding, ding ding ding. That's
Speaker 1: exactly where I'm going on this. They kept balling even
Speaker 1: though Seattle took the ball on their own three, went
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards down the field, scored a touchdown to
Speaker 1: make it twenty to seven. Did they quit? They never quit.
Speaker 1: They never batted an eyeball. It was the same thing
Speaker 1: was repeated after Pat p came up with a great
Speaker 1: pick against DK metcalf in the end zone. Right the
Speaker 1: next play, Kyler Murray throws a pick. The next play.
Speaker 1: There would have been a lot of teams that would
Speaker 1: have said, Okay, I think this isn't gonna be our night.
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna be our night. Right there. They
Speaker 1: never stopped competing the end game scenario they had at one,
Speaker 1: Oh no, they didn't have it won. Then they tried
Speaker 1: to rika it was lost ice your own kicker, and
Speaker 1: yet you found a way to win the game after
Speaker 1: all of that. Oh yeah, that's all. Wins are not
Speaker 1: created equal balling. Kyler Murray your NFC Offensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Week. Buddha Baker, your NFC Defensive Player of the Month,
Speaker 1: the highest graded offensive lineman in the NFL the past
Speaker 1: three weeks, joins us next in DJ Humphrey's and by
Speaker 1: the way news today, forty two fans will be allowed
Speaker 1: against Miami and the Bills. And a special shout out
Speaker 1: to Cora Elmer and the crew at Marley's Chandlet Fashion Center.
Speaker 1: Right now at the previous sight of the Big Red Rage,
Speaker 1: honestly hadn't had a plan for what type of captain
Speaker 1: I was going to be, because it was just something
Speaker 1: I was prepared for. I was very uh, I was
Speaker 1: very surprised and shocks. The only thing that I do
Speaker 1: want though, I want as many people that was writing
Speaker 1: about me calling me knee deep to remember to write
Speaker 1: about me and called me captain. Now, so when they
Speaker 1: addressed me, to address me correctly, Captain DJ Humphries. You know,
Speaker 1: just all those that they had the same enage with
Speaker 1: that kneed deep. Remember they called me captain now. You
Speaker 1: know that's the only thing missing from the cardboard cutout
Speaker 1: on display right now at Marley's. The likeness of DJ
Speaker 1: Humphries is out there as the crew has put on
Speaker 1: display a fathead of each one of us, including our
Speaker 1: Jim al Mohndro. And the look on your face, DJ,
Speaker 1: it's interesting, you know, it's sort of like you're contemplating
Speaker 1: do I get the garlic fries or the curly fries.
Speaker 1: You appear to be deep in thought with a headset
Speaker 1: on DJ Humphries. Yes, we get some normalcy here on
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: Big Number seventy four. D are we doing? Oh man,
Speaker 1: it's good man, good to hear from you guys again.
Speaker 1: It's been a while, man, DJ, really appreciate Are you
Speaker 1: joining us right now? My goodness, it's got to feel
Speaker 1: pretty good right now to be on your bye week
Speaker 1: at five and two. Oh man, it feels really good
Speaker 1: to go the week at five or two. I can't
Speaker 1: go playing, honestly, How does the body feel? Is the
Speaker 1: bye at the right time of the season, you think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my body's been feeling pretty good. I've probably seen it. God,
Speaker 1: a few more weeks before I actually get it playing,
Speaker 1: before I actually physically needed one. But you know, I
Speaker 1: would never complain about the bye. I'm very appreciative of
Speaker 1: my time off this weekend. Yeah, dude, how many people
Speaker 1: have your pancakes so far? I mean, is there one
Speaker 1: that stands out? Yeah? How many of your pancakes so far?
Speaker 1: And is there any that is there a pancake that
Speaker 1: stands out so far this year? Um, none that stands
Speaker 1: out so far. Honestly, I would be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I never know what's going on in a place if
Speaker 1: I pancake the guy to the very end of the
Speaker 1: play and say, WHOA, what just happened? Because you're because
Speaker 1: you're just playing right, just play. So I have been
Speaker 1: keeping track of I'll be honest with you, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of it's a lot of big players that I
Speaker 1: look back on feeling them like, dang, I didn't even
Speaker 1: realize that happened like that in the game. I thought
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, just a normal drive block.
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals offensive line allowed zero sacks and zero
Speaker 1: quarterback hits against Seattle. Uh, did you do you think
Speaker 1: you guys played as well as it looked? Because the
Speaker 1: numbers and stats say yes, What do you say? Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think we played well. Um.
Speaker 1: The one thing that that coups is kind of kind
Speaker 1: of ingraining bread and all of us, you know, the
Speaker 1: good players to take care of that stuff. But we're
Speaker 1: so focused on cleaning up the little stuff that all
Speaker 1: the all the small things that we could be better
Speaker 1: on and finding the ways that we can continue to
Speaker 1: improve that it's kind of hard to sit back and
Speaker 1: relish on on all the good all the good things
Speaker 1: we've done so far. You know, we're we're so a
Speaker 1: lot then on iron and all the iron and out
Speaker 1: all the kinks and making sure we're all machine ever sentding.
Speaker 1: You know what, Dan Weave always known you were a
Speaker 1: dog right bark like a dog and that's the Wayever,
Speaker 1: We've always known that about you and how you play,
Speaker 1: But you look more confident and more comfortable than I
Speaker 1: think I've ever seen you. Is that the case? Would
Speaker 1: you agree with that? Uh? Yeah, I think that's I
Speaker 1: think that's a bit of you know, becoming comfortable in
Speaker 1: the system and kind of knowing exactly what I do
Speaker 1: on certain things and how I do certain things. It
Speaker 1: definitely makes it a lot easier. I one of the
Speaker 1: players that as much mental clutter as I could pull
Speaker 1: out of my game, the faster and the better we're
Speaker 1: gonna play. So the longer that I'm in this system
Speaker 1: is it's becoming a lot more second nation of things
Speaker 1: that we're doing. It's a lot easier to even freestyle
Speaker 1: at moments where things trying to hit the fan, and
Speaker 1: it's not like we were we practiced it. It's a
Speaker 1: lot easier for us to freestyle and fall into things
Speaker 1: because we're pretty comfortable to understanding the rules of what
Speaker 1: we got to get done. So it's been fun to
Speaker 1: continue to progress with it. It's just crazy because we
Speaker 1: know we know how much further we have to go,
Speaker 1: you know, starting life tackle DJ Humprey's joining us. It's
Speaker 1: all about you, present Abody saying tan Ford and Gilbert.
Speaker 1: How about how about the comfort of getting the contract
Speaker 1: out of the way Chandler Jones got his contract? Got better?
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, Oh my goodness, look at the way Buddha's playing.
Speaker 1: The NFC Defensive Player of the Month, and now look
Speaker 1: at your play. You know. Pro Football Focus says you're
Speaker 1: the highest graded offensive lineman in the NFL the past
Speaker 1: three weeks. What do you think about that? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: I think let's just a tribute to that, to that
Speaker 1: good coaching that I'm getting from my guy Sean Coogler
Speaker 1: and Bryan Nakins, and additional help did I get my
Speaker 1: good people over Red Office in live performance? I think
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where I just kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, I got to look at it a smile
Speaker 1: and put my head back down and get back to work,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's obviously there's a long time coming. Then.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the positive recognition, but you know, this is
Speaker 1: the NFL. Just as quick as you pick your head
Speaker 1: off your trilo too long, you get punched in the mob.
Speaker 1: So my head that focus on where's your game better
Speaker 1: this year you think DJ versus earlier your career or
Speaker 1: even last year. Is there an area where you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely better in this this this part of my game. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think consistency is one of the main things that
Speaker 1: I've approved doing over the times. Um, I don't feel
Speaker 1: like I don't feel like the coaches when I go
Speaker 1: out over the field. There word about me doing it
Speaker 1: right every time, you know, I think that's kind of
Speaker 1: what they expect from me now and and having that
Speaker 1: expectation in turns makes me feel to say well about myself.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't have slip ups, I can't have
Speaker 1: miller as. I can't, you know, because no one's expecting
Speaker 1: me to do that. So it's it's it's a different feeling,
Speaker 1: the different industry that I'm getting from. Everyone's a higher
Speaker 1: expectation level. Is it feels good to be rising to
Speaker 1: the challenge? Did you have talked to a couple of
Speaker 1: times already about Sean Kugler. You've brought his name up
Speaker 1: right now, tell me a Sean Kugler's story in regard
Speaker 1: to what he has taught you? What that you're pretty
Speaker 1: a load there. I'm sorry, Okay, Yeah, I tell me
Speaker 1: a Sean Kugler's story. You've brought his name up a
Speaker 1: couple of times. What has he taught you? What? What
Speaker 1: has been the biggest thing? How is he impacted You're
Speaker 1: in a foul career. I think coach Coos just brought
Speaker 1: a sense of you know, he makes He taught me
Speaker 1: early in us being together, he made me feel a
Speaker 1: sense of working for myself. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: times when you have coaches, they kind of you know
Speaker 1: that you could tell they want you to do good
Speaker 1: and do well for the betterment of them and the
Speaker 1: betterment of of what's gonna happen for them, and it's
Speaker 1: you could tell. But what coups he gives me so
Speaker 1: much of I want to I want to see you
Speaker 1: be the best version of yourself because it's gonna surprise
Speaker 1: you how good you are. And and it's rubbing off
Speaker 1: on me, you know. And he doesn't allow me to
Speaker 1: have practices where some out and I'm acting like a
Speaker 1: fat cat and I'm not practicing harder like that's the
Speaker 1: relationship that we built with each other, you know. He
Speaker 1: he knows that if if it's something going wrong with
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. He could scold me, he can get
Speaker 1: on me, and I'm not gonna be responding in a
Speaker 1: deva mentality like you can't talk to me because I'm
Speaker 1: paid now, you know what I mean. He knows that
Speaker 1: he could coach me hard, and that's something that a
Speaker 1: relationship that we developed over time. That's something that I
Speaker 1: communicated to him from the jump. But I don't ever,
Speaker 1: I want you to always coach me because I want
Speaker 1: to always be I want to be the man for ever,
Speaker 1: you know. So that's that's uh me and him together.
Speaker 1: I mean it coach Nett, uh the sister, the line
Speaker 1: coach Nett. I mean, he's one of the best individens also.
Speaker 1: So it's just the group that we got man to
Speaker 1: the level of expectation they hold me to. It's hard
Speaker 1: to ever. You know. I'm with you on that, dude.
Speaker 1: I really am the men that coached me hard. I
Speaker 1: mean it was a different era, tell me, but man,
Speaker 1: I've got a great deal of love and respect in
Speaker 1: my heart for those guys. Well, you know, they think
Speaker 1: there is an award the assistant coach of the Year
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean, I'll tell you what Sean
Speaker 1: Kugler right now is your clubhouse leader when you consider
Speaker 1: dj that according to the ESPN rankings, the Cardinals have
Speaker 1: the number one pass blocking win rate in the NFL
Speaker 1: and the number two run block win rate in the NFL. Wow,
Speaker 1: incredible A long time coming. How much of that is
Speaker 1: is you have consistency across the line now, justin Murray's
Speaker 1: building for Jared Sueezi at both guard spots. But it's
Speaker 1: year two with the system, and really it's year two
Speaker 1: of your old line staying in tact. We've all been
Speaker 1: some changes on the right side here and there. But
Speaker 1: but you tell me how big a part has that been.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's huge. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: think us us bonding together, having comarader who's never wasever
Speaker 1: the issue. I think it was just us being on
Speaker 1: the field altogether at the same time and being able
Speaker 1: to form that cohesion or where we could play together
Speaker 1: and play for each other in the philop those type
Speaker 1: of relationships. Um, it's it's it's been really fun to
Speaker 1: finally be a part of the group that that that
Speaker 1: everyone is excited to see after so many years, and
Speaker 1: being a part of the reason why I think it's
Speaker 1: weren't going well, you know, so it's it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's funny to see how the times I've switched and
Speaker 1: when coups came in. You know, that was his whole
Speaker 1: That was really the whole thing and huge preaching is
Speaker 1: that we're trying to words, the first wort, the first
Speaker 1: we're just trying to con change to drive. We get
Speaker 1: to that, and I'll tell you what. You guys have
Speaker 1: done it the last two weeks in prime time. So
Speaker 1: for all the national media types and well we know
Speaker 1: them well, right because we've been hearing it for the
Speaker 1: past year. They've been they've been behind the narrative. They've
Speaker 1: been just given false information for about a year now.
Speaker 1: They right. I mean, so finally you guys put it
Speaker 1: on display, you know, on a Sunday night game, a
Speaker 1: Monday night game. So that's I know, that's got to
Speaker 1: be gratifying. Well, we'll get into that. And now the
Speaker 1: accolades are coming. I mean, Buddha Baker Defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Month, Kyler Murray NFC Offensive Player of the Week
Speaker 1: for the second time in three weeks. And now you
Speaker 1: got a Cardinals team that's in the top ten and
Speaker 1: most power polls. So look as you guys get confidence
Speaker 1: in the wins, pile up. This all builds on itself
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to visit with DJ Humphreys. Yes, let
Speaker 1: the good times role here. On the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert, we are Satan four
Speaker 1: dog hurry and shotgun has a football short cent brows

Speaker 1: win this game. Snapped to Murray and he keeps it himself,
Speaker 1: running left, got a defender with him at the five
Speaker 1: breaks it tackle, dives, ball comes out, but he crossed
Speaker 1: the plane. Touchdown Kyler Murray. Somehow Someway found a way
Speaker 1: to get that pig, but cross Peter big time player
Speaker 1: by the Mighty Kyler Murray six times. In seven games
Speaker 1: this season, Kyler Murray has had a passing touchdown and
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. That was a call on the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio Network Day Pass. Roun mulpley, who joins us
Speaker 1: here on the Big Red Rage Paul CALVC. DJ Humphreys
Speaker 1: is our very special guest, and we heard the thirty
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown toss to DeAndre Hopkins and d we
Speaker 1: need to know were you or were you not smiling?
Speaker 1: Because the camera's called Kyler Murray smiling upon snap of
Speaker 1: the ball, and now it's a crime. The offensive line
Speaker 1: doesn't get more national TV iceos. You know, guys need
Speaker 1: your camera time. If the camera was on you, were
Speaker 1: you Were you not smiling during the course of that play. No,
Speaker 1: I was not smiling at all. I was an absolute
Speaker 1: panic because I was scared of that play was not
Speaker 1: gonna work. I was terrified because we're because we were
Speaker 1: you know, we weren't taking a real the to look
Speaker 1: to the sideline and make it seem like you know,
Speaker 1: I was just a that they were going to sniff
Speaker 1: it out. If someone was going to just take off
Speaker 1: and blast them. That was so I was an absolute
Speaker 1: panic the whole time. Everyone else was so happy and
Speaker 1: I was just complete panic because it was, like I said,
Speaker 1: Office Altman, I like, I like to do stuff that
Speaker 1: I know that's normal. You know, I'd like to take
Speaker 1: a normal class set and to just go block that
Speaker 1: guy because that's what I do normally. But you know,
Speaker 1: playing it works. I can't argue with it. I can't
Speaker 1: argue with the recipe. You know, what's a grateful nation
Speaker 1: tuned in to watch an incredible game on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this was one a classic. Immediately,
Speaker 1: it became a classic immediately, talk about Sunday night football. Period.
Speaker 1: Let's start there, thirty thousand feet, let's parachute in. What's
Speaker 1: it like to play? Is it's still got a lot
Speaker 1: of juice for the players? Oh yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: was still a big game for us. I still felt
Speaker 1: like it was Sunday night football. You know, even though
Speaker 1: it was only twelve hundred in the stands, it still
Speaker 1: felt like sending that football atmosphere. You could tell everyone
Speaker 1: was rolling and excited. The energy just from the jump.
Speaker 1: You could tell it almost seemed like we were too
Speaker 1: excited at first, like everyone was just so amped up,
Speaker 1: and it say everyone just wanted to do so well
Speaker 1: right then, Yeah, it kind of went. It kind of
Speaker 1: spired a little bit in the beginning, and then you
Speaker 1: kind of stee just pull it together. And the fact
Speaker 1: that we didn't let that game at all throughout the game.
Speaker 1: We didn't leave the game for one second, and we
Speaker 1: still want I've never I've never been a part of
Speaker 1: the game left that in my life. A number of
Speaker 1: guys cited halftime as key, and it wasn't necessarily an adjustment.
Speaker 1: It was maybe just sort of an approach or a
Speaker 1: change in mindset or you tell you tell us what
Speaker 1: was halftime like and what do you think you guys
Speaker 1: got out of halftime? UM and halftime? You know it
Speaker 1: was it was. It was very positive for me because
Speaker 1: you know, we wanted to halftime down obviously, but you
Speaker 1: could tell that no one in that locker room felt
Speaker 1: like we were gonna lose that game. You know, you
Speaker 1: could tell no one had that look in their eye
Speaker 1: of doubt or or feeling like, oh, I don't know
Speaker 1: how this is gonna go. No one had that. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel that at all in the building, you know,
Speaker 1: and that was that was for me was such an
Speaker 1: electrifine feeling that I knew that everyone around me saying
Speaker 1: whether that did and we just had to get back
Speaker 1: out there on that field, get these justice made to
Speaker 1: get back out don't know soon, and get back to
Speaker 1: it and get we fall to the end. Man. That's
Speaker 1: like I said, that's I've never been a part of
Speaker 1: a game like that before. Had to go down in
Speaker 1: the books for me for sure. When you watch the tape,
Speaker 1: how did justin Marie del move did good? Always does well? Man,
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that just he's always prepares
Speaker 1: like a starter and he's always ready to go when
Speaker 1: his name was called. You know, I tell the story
Speaker 1: at the time when he came in last year. It
Speaker 1: was funny. It was that we had just learned his
Speaker 1: name and then he was starting for us, and right
Speaker 1: before the game we found out that that was like
Speaker 1: his first start, and we were like, oh my goodness, God,
Speaker 1: this this first start. He's going out here for us
Speaker 1: that right tackle, we're gonna get cream. And he did.
Speaker 1: He did such a good job all last year, held
Speaker 1: it down, so we didn't have any down in that
Speaker 1: mind at all. Yet. Steppen this week for sweezy and
Speaker 1: he was gonna be able to do the job, you
Speaker 1: know all. Speaking of last year, Sean Coogler told us
Speaker 1: last year that during the course of the twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: season he would have DJ Focus Fridays where he would
Speaker 1: let you run some of the team the old line
Speaker 1: meetings on a Friday. Is that still happening. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: were in the run all the drills on Friday Fridays.
Speaker 1: My day, you do all all the drills, that's my
Speaker 1: favorite drills. He let me lead all those off on Friday.
Speaker 1: We call it DJ Focused Friday. I get the guys going,
Speaker 1: so DJ, I'm watching the team that just showed incredible resilience.
Speaker 1: So we already talked a little bit about the start.
Speaker 1: When you guys got down ten nothing in this game, right,
Speaker 1: and then we were talking about how many times you
Speaker 1: got down Buddha Baker makes a big play, right and
Speaker 1: suddenly you don't score. Were on a fourth down? What
Speaker 1: a downer that was that Sea, I don't go to
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards and they score and it's twenty to seven.
Speaker 1: You guys, I have to tell you right now, there
Speaker 1: were there were three or four times in this game.
Speaker 1: I thought to myself. You know what, unlesser team would
Speaker 1: quit right now and you guys didn't, what does that
Speaker 1: say about you guys? I mean, I think we all
Speaker 1: learned something from each other, you know. I think everyone
Speaker 1: kind of had that feeling of I'm not gonna quit
Speaker 1: and then looking around and watching everyone else at that
Speaker 1: seven feeling that the guys is wearing the same color
Speaker 1: as it gives you a different sense of pride of
Speaker 1: your teammates and your team, and as different sense of
Speaker 1: accountability and not wanting to let you guys down because
Speaker 1: you know these guys are trying to fighting tooth and
Speaker 1: nail right now. I can't be the one that I
Speaker 1: can't be the reason why right now. And I just
Speaker 1: hope that that continued to breathe in our licking room.
Speaker 1: They continues that be continued to grow, you know, DJ,
Speaker 1: I just want to follow up PAULI here. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of people that are calling this a culture win
Speaker 1: for you. I know Dave pass is calling it a
Speaker 1: culture win. There's a lot of people are doing that.
Speaker 1: I don't think this win is the culture win. I
Speaker 1: think this is the win that lets you know that
Speaker 1: now it's time to go out and beat teams that
Speaker 1: you should beat. I think that is the next step
Speaker 1: and your guy's progression. How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: I agree, um, I think I think beating good teams
Speaker 1: is a big deal. You have to do that. But
Speaker 1: I think that once you beat your teams, you show
Speaker 1: yourself something. You know, you show that you compete with
Speaker 1: these teams in that you are up that caliber. So
Speaker 1: if you go out and play a team that's not
Speaker 1: up that same caliber, you can't stoop to that level.
Speaker 1: You have to dominate that team and move on to
Speaker 1: the next and attack in that mode. And I think,
Speaker 1: I hope that that's what's what's breeding from this win,
Speaker 1: is us kind of learning who we are as a
Speaker 1: team and learning the talent and the capabilities that we
Speaker 1: have with what we could do in our locker room.
Speaker 1: Every day. We need is in that locker room, and
Speaker 1: I think it's just us us leaning into that understanding
Speaker 1: that we just we are what we needed and and
Speaker 1: forward and taking it. Including the quarterback. I want to
Speaker 1: hear what you have to say about the player, Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: but first year's your head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. I thought
Speaker 1: it was phenomenal, you know, super competitive, He had that
Speaker 1: look in his eyes the whole game, and he told me,
Speaker 1: he said, don't basically, don't ever be conservative again. I
Speaker 1: got you, and he went out there and wanted at
Speaker 1: the end. So he's fun to coach. He's competitive, he
Speaker 1: wants to be great, and uh, you know, anytime you're
Speaker 1: going to tell, to tell the guy like Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I know that meant a lot to him. We see
Speaker 1: the numbers, but beyond that, what do you see in
Speaker 1: your quarterback? Year two? Fire? Fire? He said he wants
Speaker 1: to be the best and is It's not one of
Speaker 1: those things that you have to ask him about. You know,
Speaker 1: you told it. He wants to be the best. And
Speaker 1: it's been a pleasure for me to sit back and watch.
Speaker 1: You know, if you didn't continue to grow and continue
Speaker 1: to step into that role as a leader, he's been
Speaker 1: fun to watch. The kid is electric on that note
Speaker 1: right there, where's your fire? Dug? I mean, I know
Speaker 1: you're a dog, but I want to know where's your fire?
Speaker 1: Is the Pro Bowl? How important is that too? Do
Speaker 1: you ever think about that? Do you think about Pro Bowls?
Speaker 1: And would you like to go? Obviously everyone would like
Speaker 1: to go to a Pro Ball. But yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I think about it in the sense of I want
Speaker 1: to be included in everything, you know, Like I'll be
Speaker 1: the first to say like, I'm never gonna act like
Speaker 1: certain certain accolades don't matter to me. If it's if
Speaker 1: it's an award that I'm supposed to be able to
Speaker 1: win for myself, it matters to me, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: I think we tend to act like, oh, this doesn't
Speaker 1: matter because we doesn't we don't have them. You know.
Speaker 1: It's easy for me to say Pro Bowls don't matter.
Speaker 1: I don't have a Pro Bowl, you know. You know,
Speaker 1: but like that, that's that's that's BS, you know, like
Speaker 1: I want to be I want to be recognized as
Speaker 1: one of those players. I want to be a Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: but I want to be an All Pro player. So
Speaker 1: to say that that's not something that I'm striving for always,
Speaker 1: that's that's BS. Like I want to I want to
Speaker 1: be the best, period, So that's what comes along with it.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's how I approach it, you know,
Speaker 1: not so much as it's searching for pro bos all posts,
Speaker 1: but just trying to be the best version of myself,
Speaker 1: being better than I was last year last game, and
Speaker 1: that's the only way that I can get to that
Speaker 1: to that phase of my career of being All Pro
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl player. He's being that. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I know. Sometimes it's hard for an offensive lineman to
Speaker 1: get noticed per se. But if you start, you you
Speaker 1: keep being the highest graded offensive lineman in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You've already done it three weeks right Justin. By the way,
Speaker 1: can you tell Justin Pew to get off the analytics guys?
Speaker 1: You know he's always back in a pro football focus.
Speaker 1: He was the number one rated guy in Week one,
Speaker 1: so you know, Pew and the old line as a
Speaker 1: whole is highly rated. So Pew's got to get on board.
Speaker 1: D Jack. You know, yeah, man, I've been laying I've
Speaker 1: been laying off for maybe that's what it is. I've
Speaker 1: been laying off pro football fokes. You know how you
Speaker 1: a lot of troupe. I've been laying off of Man,
Speaker 1: they've been putting me in the top ratings. Hey, Poy,
Speaker 1: I appreciate your football focus. I'm gonna leave you guys alone.
Speaker 1: Keep keep putting me in the top all right. You
Speaker 1: know Marcus Golden real well, we want to hear when
Speaker 1: you have to say about Marcus Gold and they Chase
Speaker 1: Edmonds is your guy. All that and more as we continue,
Speaker 1: d J. Humphrey's on the Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: Santan Ford in Gilbert second and three of the Cardinal
Speaker 1: thirty five. No looks like Kyler Murry's changing things up.
Speaker 1: They have plenty of time of the play clock, twenty seconds,
Speaker 1: five minutes on the game clock, two time outs left,
Speaker 1: high game, and they're gonna run it up the middle.
Speaker 1: Edmunds thirty five forties print to the right. He's got
Speaker 1: room at the forty five. Edmonds at fifty forty yard line,
Speaker 1: thirty five and out of bounds hit type the thirty
Speaker 1: five at the thirty four put four fifty to go.
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds in for the injured Kenyon Drake with a
Speaker 1: huge run of about thirty yards. He makes the cuts
Speaker 1: you never think he's gonna make until it's too late.
Speaker 1: Does anybody maximize their opportunities in their touches like Chase Edmonds?
Speaker 1: I mean the chunk runs We've seen, the touchdown runs
Speaker 1: of twenty yards or more. Nobody has more over the
Speaker 1: last season and a half than Chase Edmunds, not even
Speaker 1: a Christian McCaffrey. Think about that. It is the Big
Speaker 1: Red Race presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert our very
Speaker 1: special guest, DJ Humphrey's Cardinals franchise left tackle. And you
Speaker 1: know you're an energy guy, DJ, But but so is
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, right, I mean he's one of those guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he's can't miss on the field
Speaker 1: or in the locker room, big energy and Jack, We
Speaker 1: all me and Justin always joke around. You hear the
Speaker 1: Chase before you see him. Every time, you're gonna hear
Speaker 1: him before you see him. That's my guy, That him man,
Speaker 1: Chase always He's always been a guy that that football
Speaker 1: mattered most to him. That's the first day I've realized
Speaker 1: about him as a rookie. You know, you could tell
Speaker 1: that he takes this game serious. Uh as offensive libel.
Speaker 1: You see a rookie running back coming in, he's just
Speaker 1: as focusing on picking up the blitzers as he is
Speaker 1: fighting the hole. He found a special place in our heart.
Speaker 1: Quickly critique how you're running the ball right now right,
Speaker 1: it's so part and I think that you continue to develop.
Speaker 1: But this part of offensive football talk to us about
Speaker 1: right now, critique yourself and how you're running the ball
Speaker 1: and where you need to go to get better. It's funny, Um,
Speaker 1: well we're running the ball. Well, we're in the top
Speaker 1: of all the run category. We still are trying to
Speaker 1: figure out bred and better runs and the things that
Speaker 1: we do the best. You know, we as a late
Speaker 1: we kind of been a team. It's kind of we
Speaker 1: have a dose of the day. You know, we're gonna
Speaker 1: do this today, We're gonna do that today. And we
Speaker 1: still haven't quite figured out you know, the one that
Speaker 1: you hang your hat on or the one run that
Speaker 1: you know you hit this the best. And I think
Speaker 1: we're starting to, you know, Cliff, Cliff is getting a
Speaker 1: lot more comfortable, comfortable and calling those runs and knowing
Speaker 1: what we can do. And it's it's so refreshing because
Speaker 1: he has so much stuff dialed up to get guys open. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when we're running the ball, man, it's hard to it's
Speaker 1: hard to cover everything. It's hard to stop what he
Speaker 1: has going on, and it's it's hard to stop that
Speaker 1: run game when when it's rolling right. Um, And I
Speaker 1: think that's that's been helping us, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: having a variety of you know, we can do this.
Speaker 1: We can hit you with the outside game, we can
Speaker 1: hit your inside game, we go toss game, being able
Speaker 1: to kind of play off for what you give us
Speaker 1: and not try to fit a square peg in a
Speaker 1: round hole every time that like she had a lot
Speaker 1: of teams doing. You know, it's either were this running
Speaker 1: works or we don't run it at all, where it's
Speaker 1: like we're we're we have a lot more of oh
Speaker 1: that's not working to say Okay, we're gonna hit him
Speaker 1: with this. Then okay, that's not what we're gonnahit them
Speaker 1: with this, and it's it's it's kind of hard to
Speaker 1: stop it because there's so much stuff go on outside,
Speaker 1: you know, and you gotta gotta you can't. And then
Speaker 1: and then on the flip side, as soon as you
Speaker 1: think you got to stop, the runs covered up, you
Speaker 1: put the hot one on one, and then we bombed you.
Speaker 1: It's hard. We're cut in that in that space. Now
Speaker 1: we're still figuring out, you know, to go to bread
Speaker 1: and butter runs. But it's it's we're not coming into
Speaker 1: trouble because we have so much variety, and they're calling
Speaker 1: these players. There's so many different variety of things that
Speaker 1: we can attack, and he's I mean, he's been finding
Speaker 1: all the holes and scenes and attacking all of it.
Speaker 1: So big kudos to much got clear using that thing roll.
Speaker 1: He know, I'm gonna be fan of the ring game.
Speaker 1: Every time he runs the ball, like get really excited.
Speaker 1: I can't tell if he's excited also if he's kind
Speaker 1: of like nervous about me running into him. Though, sometimes
Speaker 1: I think you gotta run into the pile. You have
Speaker 1: to be willing to run into the pile. I think
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to do that to reap the benefits
Speaker 1: of play action down the road. You agree with that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's hard. You have to. If you want
Speaker 1: to play action, you gotta run the ball, you know,
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna believe that play action if you ain't
Speaker 1: runting run that you're trying to steal. And we're visiting
Speaker 1: with DJ Humfrey's wrapping up here on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: Look at that two thy fifteen Draft class first round.
Speaker 1: DJ Humfrey's second round, Marcus Golden, third round, David Johnson
Speaker 1: pretty darn good right there, and speaking to Marcus Golden.
Speaker 1: Here's Van's Joseph this week the excitement of adding the
Speaker 1: former cardinal, he's now a current cardinal. He fits perfectly,
Speaker 1: you know, into into our plan. I mean he's he's
Speaker 1: a classic outside backer. He loves to get one on
Speaker 1: one in past rushes, and he is a guy that
Speaker 1: plays hard as a as an outside backer. With his
Speaker 1: relentless personality, he is going to make plays for us.
Speaker 1: He overwhelmed tackles just with effort. And if you want
Speaker 1: to know about an edge guy, ask an offensive tackle. So, DJ,
Speaker 1: you tell us about Marcus Golden. I mean that's I mean,
Speaker 1: outside of being one of my one of my best
Speaker 1: friends since I came in the league, that dude is
Speaker 1: one of the hardest work in cash that you'll meet.
Speaker 1: You know, Will says the other time you talk about
Speaker 1: a dog, Yeah, when I think about a dog, I
Speaker 1: think about Marcus Dolder. You know, that's it when if
Speaker 1: you ask me what's the dog to you, that's the
Speaker 1: first thing that passed from my head where as you
Speaker 1: go to you know, because he is just that a dog.
Speaker 1: One of those guys is gonna come to work every
Speaker 1: day and give you everything he got. And he's such
Speaker 1: a dog that if he comes to work and he's
Speaker 1: given everything that you got and you're across the ball
Speaker 1: from him and you're not. He's gonna let you know
Speaker 1: that you're wasting his time. My head is that he
Speaker 1: gonna sell you out. Let him know, get this guy
Speaker 1: off in the front of me, because I'm trying to
Speaker 1: work that he's not. That's the type of personality that
Speaker 1: Marcus Jolden is, and that's type of energy that he's
Speaker 1: gonna brank to the team. I'm so happy to have
Speaker 1: my guy back. You know, men and him got drafted together,
Speaker 1: Like I said, so we've got so many We got
Speaker 1: so many good youthful memories together up us just being
Speaker 1: young kids and are gonna run around, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, explored the city, learning, but coming men together
Speaker 1: almost you know, It's so fun to get my guy Batman.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I'm so happy to have him. You
Speaker 1: know you were, I mean you were you were sitting
Speaker 1: a young guy. We were young together, like like we
Speaker 1: like my first time going out I went out with Marcus,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that type of stuff,
Speaker 1: like our first big, big time fancy dinners in in
Speaker 1: in our city that we got drafted to Mark Golden,
Speaker 1: like you know, what I mean like that was we
Speaker 1: kicked it hard when he was here. So I'm so
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to have my guy back. I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I can't wait till you come out this quarantine so
Speaker 1: we can kick it. Yeah, stage man, this incredible. Seriously,
Speaker 1: I love you talk about your teammate like that because
Speaker 1: it reminds me one I played by the way man.
Speaker 1: As we wrap up here, I told Wolf, you know
Speaker 1: that if I had to walk into a biker bar
Speaker 1: and start talking some trash, the guy I'd want protecting
Speaker 1: my back would be Marcus Golden. If you had to
Speaker 1: take one, if you had to take one guy or
Speaker 1: two guys out of that Cardinal's locker room right now,
Speaker 1: that this one that just just turns a toughness. Who
Speaker 1: you'd want in a bar fight? Who'd you take? Oh?
Speaker 1: Outside of Marcuts, I'm I'm definitely taking jar Sueezie. You
Speaker 1: guys know Sueezie, and you know that that's the guy
Speaker 1: that I'm taking with me and outside that we're talking about,
Speaker 1: outside of the markets, I'll probably take you justin also,
Speaker 1: because I don't know if I know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if anybody that could take a punch as good as justin.
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about stuff. I could take one
Speaker 1: right to the snout. That's he's the guy, get right
Speaker 1: back up and get right back at you. Outside of
Speaker 1: outside of Marcus goats. That's you know, that's that's that's

Speaker 1: of what it was like to fall out with you
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL locker room, in that locker room,
Speaker 1: in that environment. It didn't get much better, man, it doesn't,
Speaker 1: It really doesn't. DJ. We've missed you, we've we've we've
Speaker 1: we've reveled in your play from Afar. Were like, pan,
Speaker 1: he is really balling this year. The numbers say, so,
Speaker 1: I can't tell how much we've enjoyed watching the offense
Speaker 1: and the old line and what you guys are doing
Speaker 1: the run block and the pass blox. So you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll sort of wave to you from the front row. Okay,
Speaker 1: down on the sideline. That's about as close as we're
Speaker 1: getting these days. Yeah, always, I gotta simulate. Sure, I
Speaker 1: took on my gut Poulio then because I had to

Speaker 1: for him. We had a first round grade on him. Buddha.
Speaker 1: Hey man, Steve con Gim of the Cardinals, we are

Speaker 1: You know, I told him a long time ago we
Speaker 1: were going to take care of him, and what we
Speaker 1: do I would help people to repay us. Buddha Baker
