It doesn't get any better than that. 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:03.720 Unleash the far Hollow came a weekend early for the 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:09.000 Cardinals and Seahawks. There they were those tricker treaters from Seattle. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.640 You can always tell because they're the ones wearing gortex. 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.840 And they came striding up to the Cardinals front door, 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.920 Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll and company. And they got the trick, 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.920 and the Cardinals got the treat and now we earned 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.960 a bye week, and let's hope the Big Red Rage 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.400 is a shining example of what to do during the 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.840 bye week instead of what not to do during a 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.240 bye week, because, honestly, Wolf, last year, if I flash 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:37.920 back to a year ago at this time during the 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.240 bye week, I should have known, really that the Cardinals 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.800 were going to come out and have a lackluster performance 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.840 coming off the bye based on your performance in the 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.520 Big Red Rage. So let's hope that you're ready to 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.560 bring it and you got your mind right and you're 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.400 staying focused here on what really still is a game 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.200 week if you think about it during the season. Okay, Pauli, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.440 why do you say it's a game where during the 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.800 season when it's the bye week, why do you say that? 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.560 It's very interesting to be well, because a year ago 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.560 they really got out of game mode, they got out 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.239 of football mode, if you will, and they had a 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.720 hard time getting back, and Cliff Kingsbury said, you know what, 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.920 we're going to approach it differently next year. And it's 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.000 sort of been out of choice and out of necessity. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.680 For example, every single day the players still have to test, 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.119 so every single day they still have to go into work, 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.600 so there is no opportunity for these guys to go 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.280 some cruise or island vacation or even go to SoCal 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.400 because guess what, Vegas. No, that's all out. Every single 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.079 day they got to come into work. And if you 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.280 listen to the coaches, some of these guys are using 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.880 that to their advantage, getting in some extra time in 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.519 the weight rooms, some extra film work, and you know 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.040 they hope it pays off next Sunday against Miami Poul. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.520 I know that we've talked about this many many times 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.760 over the years, but honestly, you know, I hated the BUYEO, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.480 hated the bye right, and it was just it was 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.600 just because I didn't like getting out of that routine, 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.880 getting out of that groove that you got into during 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.639 the regular season. I wanted to feel miserable for the 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.119 most part, because I was miserable. I didn't want any vacation. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.640 I didn't want the palm tree, I didn't want the beach. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.359 I didn't want to think of anything like that. Get 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.160 the season over, then we'll think of stuff like that. Well, 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.840 what if I told you the Arizona Cardinals are five 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.639 and two, and we'll get into how they got there 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.040 with a winning against Seattle next. But what if I 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:29.880 told you, if we want to look ahead a little bit, 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.799 that Jalen Thompson could very easily come off the IR, 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.640 one of your starting safeties, that Max Williams might be 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.119 tracking to be back in uniform, that Jr. Sweezy could 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.000 be off IR and back at right guard. Even with 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.000 Chard Lawrence now with a banged up defensive line, perhaps 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.600 the rookie or Schard Lawrence might be in the rotation. Again, 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.320 what are you suggesting, Polly, there might be better things 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.520 to come in the second half of the season for 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.800 the Arizona Cardinals, because right now they're sitting really really 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.680 good five in two and oh in the NFC West 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.400 two and O on the national stage. They look good. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.680 For the win against Seattle, they also lost Zach Allen 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.320 who went on the IR. They lost Kenyan Drake to 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.320 the ankle injury. It's unclear he did not go on IR. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.960 So we're hoping that's less than three games. But for 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.240 those two losses, they are getting some reinforcements back. I 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.960 guess that's the point there, not that Justin Murray hasn't 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.400 filled in very well. That not that the Cardinals old 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.680 line hasn't played very well this season. In fact, I 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:36.120 buried the lead our guest tonight and name you're familiar. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.000 Oh yeah, oh boy. Let the good times roll. A 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.320 little flashback to twenty nineteen and some normalcy around here. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.240 What do we need? We need some normalcy. We need 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.560 Big DJ Humphries as our very special guests on the 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.880 big red rate. How about that, you know, well if 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.680 you can refer to him as Captain DJ Humphries. All 0:04:53.760 --> 0:05:00.480 presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Dog four to go 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.960 in a tie game here at overtime thirty four piece 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.080 three receivers to the right of Wilson. Gotta get a 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.920 stop here. Thirty fourteen play clock at one snapped to 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.120 Wilson quick for over the middle. Picked off hitch it 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.680 or something at the forty yard Life Masaiah Simmons has 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.240 a running far side of the forty five men of 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.000 bounds at the fifty yard line. Fifty seven seconds. Life 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.000 Cardinals have the ball man in time out. The rookie 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.000 made a play. Isaiah Simmons is right there with the 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.480 sweeth hands. Want to catch by Isaiah Simmons forty eight 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.840 yard attempt for Zane Gonzale is looking to win the 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.400 game and get some redemption here in overtime, twenty seconds 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.600 to go, Snap falls down, pick from Gonzalez is off. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:45.960 It looks good. It is gone. Click Cardinals win it 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.760 an incredible finish at State Farm Stadium. Click Cardinals takedown 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:58.560 Seattle thirty seven thirty four redemption for Zane Gonzalez Cardinals. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.640 Din just beats you, Sattle. They beat Seattle at their 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.400 own game with a ten point comeback in the fourth 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.040 quarter and then a finish at the end of the game. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.359 In fact, after the game, Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.760 literally at a loss to explain the loss because previously 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.360 Russell Wilson had been thirty and oh in those situations 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.280 with a ten point leader more at halftime. Think about that. 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.039 It is the Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.560 and Gilbert. We are satan Ford and well, if we 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.680 can go a lot of different directions, like the fact 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.960 the old line didn't allow us sack or a quarterback hit. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.600 That's my way of saying that DJ Humphreys will join 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.400 us starting in the very next segment. Here on the 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.120 Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford and Gilbert. I 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.320 know it's sort of a broad question, but with everything 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.680 half in that game, what comes to mind the most 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.440 would you like the most about that thirty seven thirty 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.240 four win? While Paul, I would have to start on 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.800 the defensive side of the ball, and how much better 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.920 they played defensively in that second half the first half? 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.920 Think about it? What was it, Paul, three hundred and 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.800 seventy seven yards? Yes, at first half, pay almost four 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:05.200 hundred yards of offense giving up to Russell Wilson to 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.960 the Seattle Seahawks. And they're good. They're one of the best, 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.840 if not the best offense in the National Football League, 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.280 So they are good. But boy, the difference between the 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.680 second half and the first half, that to me was 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.760 what encouraged me the most. The way the defense came out. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.200 They still gave up some chunk plays, they still gave 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.080 up some yards, but they only give up seven points 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.560 and basically three quarters of football seven points. That to 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.440 me tells me an awful lot about an identity that 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.960 might be forming for the Arizona Cardinals defense. And if 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.360 you talk defense, how about three interceptions of Russell Wilson 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.560 when he came into the game. The Sunday Night game 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.880 with three picks total in the previous five games. Think 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.200 about that. And by the way, it was an epic 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.760 classic game. And ninety eight SEVENFM Arizona Sports is going 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.400 to replay tomorrow night all the key moments from the 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.880 Sunday game. They caught a Cards Classic, a game for 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.640 the ages from six to nine. Luclapins He's gonna host 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.600 and it's a replay, a three hour special featuring all 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.840 the signature play by play moments from the call from 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.080 Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. And so that's gonna be good 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.000 stuff tomorrow night. In fact, speaking of the game, after 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.160 the game, here's Kyler Murray just on the mindset needed 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.480 for that fourth quarter in overtime to take down the Seahawks. Yeah. Man, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.760 I don't think I smiled at all game honestly, just 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.880 because it just felt like, you know, we just you 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.840 just had to have your head down and just keep grinding. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.000 For me personally, in mindset was just just move the ball, um, 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.400 you know, do what I do, move the ball, beat 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.360 myself and lead the guys down the field and make 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.839 smart decisions, take care of the ball. You know, whatever 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.800 I see, go with it. Trusted dual with conviction. Of course, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.880 the ironical part of that, as I make up a word, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.320 is the fact that he was smiling at one moment 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.200 on the thirty five yard touchdown past too d hop. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.880 Was that a smile, Paul? Or was the grimace? Was that? 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.360 You know what I mean? Like a like an oh, dirt? 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.160 Is I'm gonna throw it? You know? Or was he was? He? 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.000 You know? Late I said the same thing when I 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.440 first saw to go, you know what, he's probably gritting 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.160 his teeth more smiling. But when we learned the circumstances, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.840 and we'll get into this in detail a little bit 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.480 later with DJ Humphreys, but when we learned about the 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.800 high jinks surrounding that play and the deceptive play that 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.839 they foisted on the Seahawks, I then thought, maybe he 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.560 is smiling after all. You know what I love, though, BALI, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.400 whether he was smiling or not, is just the resiliency 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.079 of not only Kyler Murray but the entire team. I 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.760 don't know if there's a better team characteristic you could 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.560 have for a football team than being resilient, the ability 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.520 to get off the ground when things look bad and 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.560 continue to fight, continue to ball out. They got down 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.920 ten nothing after a horrible start. Would you say it 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.400 was a horrible start for them ball? Yes, it was right. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.000 They never stopped competing the second quarter. There was a 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.280 sequence in that second quarter where Seattle, at a thirteen 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.800 seven lead, had a first and goal at the three. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.480 Buddha Baker came up with a gray play, an unbelievable pick, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.439 first and goal at the Seattle a right after he 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.800 got walked by DK metcalf and you can't get it 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.360 in and you go for it on fourth down and 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.079 you get stuffed. Now, Paul, if you were on the 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.840 sideline right there, and you were really close to the sideline, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.680 how deflating do you think that would be? Sequence of events? 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.080 So many times, so many teams, they would have been 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.439 defeated right there. Game ding ding, ding ding ding. That's 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.200 exactly where I'm going on this. They kept balling even 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.800 though Seattle took the ball on their own three, went 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.920 ninety seven yards down the field, scored a touchdown to 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.280 make it twenty to seven. Did they quit? They never quit. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.120 They never batted an eyeball. It was the same thing 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.360 was repeated after Pat p came up with a great 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.800 pick against DK metcalf in the end zone. Right the 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:53.080 next play, Kyler Murray throws a pick. The next play. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.080 There would have been a lot of teams that would 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.480 have said, Okay, I think this isn't gonna be our night. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.319 It's just not gonna be our night. Right there. They 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:07.040 never stopped competing the end game scenario they had at one, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.720 Oh no, they didn't have it won. Then they tried 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.800 to rika it was lost ice your own kicker, and 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.160 yet you found a way to win the game after 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.920 all of that. Oh yeah, that's all. Wins are not 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:27.000 created equal balling. Kyler Murray your NFC Offensive Player of 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.920 the Week.

I was very uh, I was 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.280 very surprised and shocks. The only thing that I do 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.600 want though, I want as many people that was writing 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.440 about me calling me knee deep to remember to write 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.080 about me and called me captain. Now, so when they 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:17.160 addressed me, to address me correctly, Captain DJ Humphries.

The likeness of DJ 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.160 Humphries is out there as the crew has put on 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.400 display a fathead of each one of us, including our 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.280 Jim al Mohndro.

My goodness, it's got to feel 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.080 pretty good right now to be on your bye week 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.959 at five and two. Oh man, it feels really good 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.600 to go the week at five or two. I can't 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.520 go playing, honestly, How does the body feel? Is the 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.080 bye at the right time of the season, you think, Yeah, 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.559 my body's been feeling pretty good. I've probably seen it. God, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.880 a few more weeks before I actually get it playing, 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.920 before I actually physically needed one. But you know, I 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.760 would never complain about the bye. I'm very appreciative of 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.480 my time off this weekend. Yeah, dude, how many people 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.000 have your pancakes so far? I mean, is there one 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.360 that stands out? Yeah? How many of your pancakes so far? 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.000 And is there any that is there a pancake that 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:48.560 stands out so far this year? Um, none that stands 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.480 out so far. Honestly, I would be honest with you. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.160 I never know what's going on in a place if 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.199 I pancake the guy to the very end of the 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.760 play and say, WHOA, what just happened? Because you're because 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.679 you're just playing right, just play. So I have been 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.599 keeping track of I'll be honest with you, it's a 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.160 lot of it's a lot of big players that I 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.480 look back on feeling them like, dang, I didn't even 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.319 realize that happened like that in the game. I thought 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.320 it was just, you know, just a normal drive block. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:17.319 So the Cardinals offensive line allowed zero sacks and zero 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.920 quarterback hits against Seattle. Uh, did you do you think 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.920 you guys played as well as it looked? Because the 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.640 numbers and stats say yes, What do you say? Oh, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:29.680 you know, I think I think we played well. Um. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.040 The one thing that that coups is kind of kind 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.400 of ingraining bread and all of us, you know, the 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.080 good players to take care of that stuff. But we're 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.800 so focused on cleaning up the little stuff that all 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.720 the all the small things that we could be better 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.400 on and finding the ways that we can continue to 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.960 improve that it's kind of hard to sit back and 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.560 relish on on all the good all the good things 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.280 we've done so far. You know, we're we're so a 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.640 lot then on iron and all the iron and out 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.160 all the kinks and making sure we're all machine ever sentding. 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:00.880 You know what, Dan Weave always known you were a 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.480 dog right bark like a dog and that's the Wayever, 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.080 We've always known that about you and how you play, 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.880 But you look more confident and more comfortable than I 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.520 think I've ever seen you. Is that the case? Would 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.480 you agree with that? Uh? Yeah, I think that's I 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.920 think that's a bit of you know, becoming comfortable in 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.600 the system and kind of knowing exactly what I do 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.840 on certain things and how I do certain things. It 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.920 definitely makes it a lot easier. I one of the 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.920 players that as much mental clutter as I could pull 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.680 out of my game, the faster and the better we're 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.360 gonna play. So the longer that I'm in this system 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.720 is it's becoming a lot more second nation of things 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.880 that we're doing. It's a lot easier to even freestyle 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.040 at moments where things trying to hit the fan, and 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.080 it's not like we were we practiced it. It's a 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.200 lot easier for us to freestyle and fall into things 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.960 because we're pretty comfortable to understanding the rules of what 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.200 we got to get done. So it's been fun to 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.320 continue to progress with it. It's just crazy because we 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.600 know we know how much further we have to go, 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.520 you know, starting life tackle DJ Humprey's joining us. It's 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.920 all about you, present Abody saying tan Ford and Gilbert. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.360 How about how about the comfort of getting the contract 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.440 out of the way Chandler Jones got his contract? Got better? 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.200 Buddha Baker, Oh my goodness, look at the way Buddha's playing. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.840 The NFC Defensive Player of the Month, and now look 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.440 at your play. You know. Pro Football Focus says you're 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:19.680 the highest graded offensive lineman in the NFL the past 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.440 three weeks. What do you think about that? Oh? Man, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.080 I think let's just a tribute to that, to that 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.800 good coaching that I'm getting from my guy Sean Coogler 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.800 and Bryan Nakins, and additional help did I get my 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.200 good people over Red Office in live performance? I think 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:38.920 it's one of those things where I just kind of, 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:40.800 you know, I got to look at it a smile 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.240 and put my head back down and get back to work, 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.320 you know, because it's obviously there's a long time coming. Then. 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.640 I appreciate the positive recognition, but you know, this is 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.440 the NFL. Just as quick as you pick your head 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.360 off your trilo too long, you get punched in the mob. 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.480 So my head that focus on where's your game better 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.560 this year you think DJ versus earlier your career or 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.560 even last year. Is there an area where you know what, Yeah, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.160 I'm definitely better in this this this part of my game. Oh, 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.920 I think consistency is one of the main things that 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.640 I've approved doing over the times. Um, I don't feel 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.159 like I don't feel like the coaches when I go 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.879 out over the field. There word about me doing it 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:17.680 right every time, you know, I think that's kind of 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.800 what they expect from me now and and having that 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.040 expectation in turns makes me feel to say well about myself. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.280 I can't I can't have slip ups, I can't have 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.080 miller as. I can't, you know, because no one's expecting 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.240 me to do that. So it's it's it's a different feeling, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.760 the different industry that I'm getting from. Everyone's a higher 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.520 expectation level. Is it feels good to be rising to 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.600 the challenge? Did you have talked to a couple of 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.720 times already about Sean Kugler. You've brought his name up 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.679 right now, tell me a Sean Kugler's story in regard 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.200 to what he has taught you? What that you're pretty 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.840 a load there. I'm sorry, Okay, Yeah, I tell me 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.520 a Sean Kugler's story. You've brought his name up a 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.159 couple of times. What has he taught you? What? What 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.560 has been the biggest thing? How is he impacted You're 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.720 in a foul career. I think coach Coos just brought 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:09.080 a sense of you know, he makes He taught me 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.159 early in us being together, he made me feel a 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.520 sense of working for myself. You know, a lot of 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.600 times when you have coaches, they kind of you know 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.400 that you could tell they want you to do good 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.200 and do well for the betterment of them and the 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.600 betterment of of what's gonna happen for them, and it's 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.119 you could tell. But what coups he gives me so 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.440 much of I want to I want to see you 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.000 be the best version of yourself because it's gonna surprise 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.640 you how good you are. And and it's rubbing off 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.760 on me, you know. And he doesn't allow me to 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.760 have practices where some out and I'm acting like a 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.480 fat cat and I'm not practicing harder like that's the 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.320 relationship that we built with each other, you know. He 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.040 he knows that if if it's something going wrong with 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.679 what I'm doing. He could scold me, he can get 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.320 on me, and I'm not gonna be responding in a 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.919 deva mentality like you can't talk to me because I'm 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:56.320 paid now, you know what I mean. He knows that 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.440 he could coach me hard, and that's something that a 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.680 relationship that we developed over time. That's something that I 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.679 communicated to him from the jump. But I don't ever, 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.960 I want you to always coach me because I want 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:06.679 to always be I want to be the man for ever, 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.359 you know. So that's that's uh me and him together. 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.400 I mean it coach Nett, uh the sister, the line 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.400 coach Nett. I mean, he's one of the best individens also. 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:20.119 So it's just the group that we got man to 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.840 the level of expectation they hold me to. It's hard 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.760 to ever. You know. I'm with you on that, dude. 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.639 I really am the men that coached me hard. I 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.840 mean it was a different era, tell me, but man, 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:34.960 I've got a great deal of love and respect in 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:39.040 my heart for those guys. Well, you know, they think 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.160 there is an award the assistant coach of the Year 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.160 in the NFL. I mean, I'll tell you what Sean 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.600 Kugler right now is your clubhouse leader when you consider 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:50.440 dj that according to the ESPN rankings, the Cardinals have 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.600 the number one pass blocking win rate in the NFL 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:59.520 and the number two run block win rate in the NFL. Wow, 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.440 incredible A long time coming. How much of that is 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.399 is you have consistency across the line now, justin Murray's 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.120 building for Jared Sueezi at both guard spots. But it's 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.120 year two with the system, and really it's year two 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.680 of your old line staying in tact. We've all been 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.520 some changes on the right side here and there. But 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.800 but you tell me how big a part has that been. 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.120 I mean, I think that's huge. You know, I don't 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.560 think us us bonding together, having comarader who's never wasever 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.720 the issue. I think it was just us being on 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.560
