So over the next three weeks 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.959 that we figure here's the game plan. Okay, America has 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:35.000 to stop putting on the lbs, and then Arizona has 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.160 to if they want to get back in shape. The 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.440 Cardinals got to stay stop taking these elves right now. Okay, 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.039 that's the game plan over the next three weeks, and 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.760 it starts with a bahambug beat down of Tom Brady 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.800 and the Buccaneers on Sunday night in prime time Christmas Night. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.680 It is the Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.000 and Gilbert. We are santan Ford. We like to build 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.360 ourselves as the original Thursday night Football, so we get 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.040 Jags and Jets tonight. It's all right here wolf because, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.640 as you know, our special guest is Cardinals rookie tight 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:11.160 end coming off a season best game in his home state. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.799 Trey McBride is on board. Trey, how are we doing 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.880 doing good? Yeah? Thank you so much for having me on. 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.320 This is awesome. No, Trey, thank you, man. We really 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.079 appreciate your joining us right now. How do you think 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.640 your rookie season is progressing? My friend? Yeah, you know, 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.960 I think think about the rookie rookie years you're you're 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.920 constantly learning everything, so different everything, you know, everything's moving 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.160 so fast. So I think each week I've I've gotten 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.400 a lot better. The game is starting to slow down 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.600 a little bit for me, and I think each week 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.120 I've started to progress and gotten each gotten better each 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:44.680 and every week. And that's something that I, you know, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.720 I'm striving to do is continue to get better each 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.280 and every week. And I think I've done that. Well. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.480 Your numbers at Denver right, four catches, fifty five yards, 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.320 he had the long twenty nine all season highs. Did 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.360 your confidence actually build maybe even over the core of 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.280 that game. Yeah, you know, I think just being back 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.600 in Colorado, I think there was just something the something 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.520 in the air that um just just made me play 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.000 a little bit better. But honestly, yeah, just as I 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.639 kept going, I know, I know I can play play 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:13.880 at this league and I know I can be a 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.720 good player. So just you know, as I keep getting 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.080 those reps, keep getting those balls thrown to me, that 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.000 confidence is just continuingly growing. You know, going back to 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.920 when you were growing up, why why did you start 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.840 playing football? Why did you do that? Try? You know, 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.760 we just I have three three other brothers, so we 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.400 all just kind of had had fun together and we 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.360 just did whatever we could. And I think most of 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.480 all our parents threw us into sports to get our 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:41.720 energy out, you know. So I think that's really how 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.120 it all started. Was my mom wanted us all to 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.040 get out of the house and burn our energy, so 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:47.720 she threw us in as many sports as we could. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.560 And and I think all of our brothers just fell 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.640 in love with with football. I think that's just kind 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.240 of how how it all happened. Yeah, it says here 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.760 that in high school you also played basketball and baseball. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.200 In fact, you excelled. You set school records for most 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.920 career points and basketball and most home runs and RBIs 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:07.200 in baseball. Now Wolf allegedly was all stayed in baseball. No, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.840 but he has yet to prove that three times stop stop. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.720 So at what point did you choose football only or 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.320 was that sort of always your course? You know, I 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.479 think it was I kind of realized that my best 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.880 chance at success was going to be to play football. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.760 I really love football more than anything. I was really 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.080 good at basketball, was really good at baseball, and I 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.480 did kind of teeter totter with playing baseball in college 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.680 but I just knew I wanted to play football. That 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.640 was always my calling. I knew I was going to 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.799 be the most successful and the best at that sport. 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.480 So I just wanted to put my sole focus into 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.640 to football. And also I wanted to play football with 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.520 my brother, and that's what I did in college, was 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.440 continued playing with him. So we know why you started 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.719 playing football. But now is an adult. What is the 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.360 best thing about the sport? Teams? Right? Yeah, I think 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.159 there's there's so much to love about this sport. But 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.120 I think just the grittiness of putting your pads on 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.039 every day and getting to work and just like hitting 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.560 those guys like in the trenches is you know, it's 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.839 just fund in there and you just like get running 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.320 those you know, duo and just getting a good block 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.160 with the tackle. I mean, just stuff like that. It's 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.039 hard to beat. Like, it's just so fun when you 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.240 get to do stuff like that. So I just, I mean, 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.200 there's so much to love about this game, but I 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.680 just I just love the gritty and nastiness about it, 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.680 you know. So Trey, would you would you say duo? 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:28.960 You mean double right? You mean the power without the poll? Yeah, exactly, yea, 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.799 that is that is one of the most physical plays 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.360 in the game. Man, you know like that. I mean 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.159 it's just when you get a good block with the 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.279 with the tackle, I think that's fun. Man, when you 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.560 get a combo up to a linebacker. I mean, it's 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.040 part of the game, you know, it's you got to 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.200 learn to love it, you know. Yeah, when I see 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.800 your numbers last year at Colorado State, ninety catches over 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.440 eleven hundred yards, receiving ninety plus yards per game, right, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.080 I mean John Mackey Award winner as the nation's top 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.039 tight end, I think of a receiving tight end. But 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.760 to what degree were you a dual tight end Colorado State? 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.240 You know I was. I was a real tight end. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.560 I put my hand in the ground seventy five percent 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.400 of the time. Um, they didn't split me out a 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.120 whole lot. So you know, that's that's really how I 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.320 made my you know, that's how I made my role 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.920 at Colorado State. It all started in the run game. Um, 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.880 and I think that's how you you you pave your 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.839 role as you you succeed in the run game, and 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.839 that's how you get opportunities in the pass game with 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.279 the play action things like that. So that's how it 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.479 all started at Colorado State. And um, yeah I was. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.240 I was putting my hand in the ground, you know, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.200 things like that. They didn't split me out a whole lot. So, um, 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.039 I did get a lot of catches, but my hand 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.720 was in the ground. Speaking of Colorado State, what is 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:41.200 the biggest difference between college and the National Football League? Yeah, 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.880 I think just the room room for air is is very, 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.080 very small. You know, guys just moved so much faster. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.560 The play of the game is so much faster, and 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.560 you know, you just there's there's no room for air 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.039 in this league. You know, like the the margin of 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.000 air is so small, you know, catching a ball, you 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.320 you have to be so perfect on everything. So I 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.000 think that's the biggest difference is just the margin of 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.039 air you have is so minimal in this league. Cardinal's 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.480 second round rookie tight end Trey McBride our guest here 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.920 on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.200 Gilbert So. Before Fort Collins in Colorado State, it was 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.240 Fort Morgan where you grew up. We saw some of 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.600 that last night on Hard Knocks, you know, and it's 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.320 interesting Wolf, we've had Antonio Hamilton from small town Johnston, 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:30.240 South Carolina. Zavan Collins, Hominy, Oklahoma. Both guys when telling 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.520 us the population of their towns, which was less than 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.600 ten thousand, they subtracted the population of the prison for 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.480 that's how small because the prison like doubles the town population. 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.640 But tell us a little bit about Fort Morgan. Yeah, 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.320 you know, Fort Morgan's a small little farmtown northeast Colorado. 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.880 But you know, our population was about ten ten to 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.400 fifteen thousand, so pretty small town. My graduating high school 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.720 class was roughly, you know, seventy five to one hundred people. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.320 So you know, it's just a small, small community. Everyone 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.320 everyone farmed, everyone knew each other, and it was just 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.520 it was awesome. I loved it. You know, everyone knew 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.480 where you lived, you knew where everyone else lived. You 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.240 knew what I mean, everything all the business was going on. 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.080 You knew everything that was going on in the town. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.280 So it was it was a lot of fun. I 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.920 loved everything about Fort Morgan. So, Trey, when you look 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.160 down the road and you see yourself twenty years from now, 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.280 do you see yourself living in a rural area. You know, 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.320 I loved it out there. I loved growing up. Um, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.440 you know, I don't see myself going back to Fort 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.440 Morgan necessarily, but I don't know. I it's hard to say. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.320 I could definitely see myself in a rural area, but 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.400 I just it's hard to say. You know, what's it 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.880 like to watch you talk about your hometown and have 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.600 all your interactions and your family documented by NFL films 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.720 on HBO last night? What was that like? Yeah? I 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.080 think it's it's very special, and you know, the just 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.080 to bring um Fort Morgan into the picture. You know, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.160 it's a kind of an under the radar town that 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.760 no one really hears about. So it's kind of cool 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.560 to bring that into the pitcher and have people, you know, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.800 see what that town's all about. It's it's very special 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.640 to the community and everyone there and Fort Morgan as well. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.880 So I'm glad that I can, you know, shine a 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.600 little light on that town. So talk a little bit, 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.640 if you will, right now. Off this offense that you're 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.319 currently in, how do you think you fit into this 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.280 offense going forward? You know, I think they do a 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.920 really good job of you know, get there's so many 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.800 playmakers on this team, so just just finding a role 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.079 and kind of making as many plays as you can. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.280 You know, I think I'm a I'm a good run blocker. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.880 I think I can help in the run game a lot. 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.520 And I also think that they can split me out 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.000 a little bit, you know, get me one on one 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.320 with linebackers, safety, things like that, and I feel like 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.240 I can win that matchup. But you know, I think 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.320 that my roles continually increased each and every week just 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.840 because this the play of the game, speed of the 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.520 game is slowing down a little bit and I'm feeling 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.520 more comfortable. So I think is as long as I 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.560 keep showing improvement and uh, you know, room for less, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.440 room for air and that, then they'll continue to keep 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:01.319 you know, featuring me speaking of your position, coach, Steve Hyden, Look, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.800 we know how it works with rookies in the NFL. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.320 In fact, I had an assistant coach tell me earlier today, 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.360 just say, Paul, when was the last time a rookie 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.199 came in and really just crushed it from the get go? Right, 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.400 It is a process. And Steve Hyden last night on 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.280 Hard Knocks NFL Films, they captured a moment not long 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.680 after the mid season season ending injury to zach Ertz, 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.160 and all of a sudden, your role changed. Things got 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.200 extremely real. Here you go. They took us into the 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.839 tight End meeting room. We have a job inherent to 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.520 turn place what we lost. Right, you've it's time to 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:41.160 step bottle all the that we've dealt with with the technique, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.160 mental errors scale, that's going to stop. You're not a 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.720 rookie anymore. You know what to do. Just be confident, 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.679 go out there and go do it. And that's all 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.719 we saw and heard. What was going on in your 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.040 mind when he was telling you that. Yeah, you know, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:01.080 I was just excited for the opportunity. Um, but you 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.480 know I knew it wasn't wasn't anything that I wasn't 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.000 prepared for. Um, you know, I come in, I'm prepared. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.640 I knew each and every week that that I was 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.000 one play away from being being that guy. So I 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.880 prepared each week that I was going to play as 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.120 many plays as I could. So I made sure I 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.960 knew that playbook inside and out, so if my chance 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.880 ever did come, I wasn't gonna miss it. So, um, 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.679 that's something that's very It was very you know, it's 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.040 a cool honor to to get that role. To be 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.360 the guy that steps in for for an injured Zach. 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.440 You know, he's a he's a huge part of this offense. 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.720 And for me to step in and they expect me 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.560 to play just like he does, you know, things like that. So, um, 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.000 it was a it was a huge honor for me, 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.640 but something that I feel like I was prepared, um 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.160 prepared for. You know, for me. I look at you 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.400 and I watch you play tray and one of the 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.559 most difficult adjustments I think you've had to make is 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.600 where you line up in the backfield and where you 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.880 run in space and try to get your block that way. Um, 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.640 how much of that did you do it? Colorado stayed? 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.280 Did you do a lot of in the backfield stuff? 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.720 You know, I didn't. We had another tight end that 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.560 did a lot of that stuff, and I was just 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.320 more of the inline you know, true why tight end 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:10.760 that would that would put their hand in the ground. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.319 So we had another tight end that would do a 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.840 lot of that other stuff. So so I didn't do it. So, yeah, 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.680 that is a huge learning curve for me, but something 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.880 that you know, I'm willing to do and I feel 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.439 comfortable doing. I just obviously it's a little bit of 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.839 an adjustment at this level. Another y tight end, right, 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.760 a classic guy, Max Williams, and we had him on. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.880 It was early this year. It was actually week three 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.959 of this season. Max Williams was our guest here in 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.640 the Big Red Rage and at that point, really you 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.040 hadn't seen much action in the two regular season games 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.800 at that point, yet Max Williams had seen enough to 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.440 say this. I mean, I think he's gonna be special. 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.040 Young guy coming in. He's athletic, he can block. It's 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.160 crazy people see him. They saying, Oh, he's gonna get 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.560 this receiving tight end. He's gonna get down and dirty 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.599 in those trenches. Wolf would love it. He's gonna be 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.240 excited too. So for me, every one of the fans 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.360 I wondered about Trey, you ain't gotta worry about Trey. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.560 Tredy's gonna be special here, in my opinion, and I 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.600 can't wait to see it. I'm here for it. I'm 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.120 all in his corner. I'm trying to do the best 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.920 that can to help him. Me and Zach and I 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.079 love the kid man. He's awesome. Some great words from 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.000 your teammate. Now, I know, Max Williams, he's a great, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.080 great personality, right, and he can be demanding and high 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.360 maintenance on the rookies in the room. It's funny, you know, 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.440 but but if there's a couple of things, maybe a 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.440 couple of boxes are checked between now and the end 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.200 of the season, in these last three games, what would 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.040 you like to see and maybe in your own film. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.760 You know, I think, just just keep keep showing that 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.880 I can I can keep improving each week. You know, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.720 There's so many things that I can get better at. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.560 There's little things that can help me get open um. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.280 And it's just seeing it, you know, playing at this level, 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.560 it's things happen so fast, people design disguised coverages so well. 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.000 So it's really it's really just playing fast and continuing 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:48.760 to grow each and every week. And I think that 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.240 I can continue to do that and continue to finish 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.720 his season strong on a on a high note. Who 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.440 is the baddest man you faced so far out on 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.520 the field. Who's the baddest guy, Trey? You know, there's 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.120 been a there's been a lot of good players that 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.920 I've gone against this this year. You know, obviously Bosa 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.679 was a good player, but I think the toughest guy 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.360 that I had a really tough time was was with 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.840 Davenport from from the Saints. He was a real tall, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.880 lengthy guy and I did have a heck of a 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.040 time with that guy. Well, if it was the former 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.200 Bronco that you used to have the toughest time with 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.000 was Den Carl Mecklenburg used to kick your face in 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.520 a couple of times. Come on, now, there were a 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.680 lot of guys. There were a lot of guys that 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.400 kicked my face inla Burg. Yes, he was wonderful, full 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.560 of scholiure. I just like saying the name Mecklenburg. I 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.400 mean that just that just oozes football, doesn't it come 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.400 app Yeah, there you go. By the way, he literally 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:47.040 had a forehead that was twice your sauce. Here we go, 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.120 Here we go. That's yeah, the gloves are coming off here, Trey, 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.800 we're just getting rolling. Trey mcbriner guest on The Big 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:59.880 Red Rage presented by Santan Ford. In Gilbert two receivers 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.600 McCoy's way, he takes the shotgun stamp pros to the 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.800 left side. McBride caught it at the thirty five and 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.400 he's got a first down before he's bumped out pass 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.280 to the left, caught again by McBride inside the thirty 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.880 fighting for yardage. McSorley moving to his right, throwing on 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.040 the run. It's caught for a first down by McBride, 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.880 and he stepped out of bounds at the forty nine 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.680 of Denver. Remember this is a homecoming of sorts for him, 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.960 having played in Colorado State and winning the Mackie Award 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.080 last year, which goes to college football's best tight end. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.160 Mcsorley's passed across the middle, caught by McBride a first 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.120 down and past the forty five fifty good run, McBride 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.760 running through arm tackles path to the catch to the 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.840 forty five of Denver. I tell you couldn't miss it. 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.160 Down on the Cardinals sideline. Every time he made a plane, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.160 he had four catches for fifty five yards. That cheering 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.680 section jumped up. It was like two three dozen people. 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.680 You had your own cheering section behind the Cardinals bench 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.920 about ten rows up. Yeah. Yeah, it was really cool. 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.680 My family all got tickets kind of right in that area, 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.920 right behind the right band the Cardinals bench, So it 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.360 was really cool to every time come over to the 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.680 sideline get a you know, see them and it was 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.840 just it was a special data to have everyone there. 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.040 Trey McBride is our guest here on the Big Red Rage, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.800 presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.440 We mentioned Carl Mecklenburg by the way, you know, Wolf's 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.320 nemesis back in the day with the Broncos. Did you 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.120 have a guy growing up? Do you have a favorite 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.520 Broncos player that you you you know? And Ryan Jensen, 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.480 the Buccaneers center who's on IR and is a big 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.040 reason why the Tampa offensive line has not been what 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.800 it usually has been. He's from your hometown as well. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.280 he's he's a Fort Morgan guy, went to went to 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.560 the same high school. It's it's very special. There's been 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.200 three of us um now that have made it to 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.000 the NFL from from my hometown. And and like you said, 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.240 my favorite player growing up is actually, you know, my 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.560 favorite Bronco was was Joel Dreeson. You know, he was 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.240 he was our tight end. He's from my hometown. So 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.800 just growing up and you know, everyone from my hometown 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.760 wanted to be like Joel, So it was, uh, it 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:55.560 was cool when he came and played for the Broncos. 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.640 That that that it became my favorite player for sure, Trey, 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:03.080 What is it like hanging out around zach Ertz? You know, 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.280 this guy has been one of the better tight ends, 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.840 if not just a great tight end year in and 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.840 year out. It's a guy that is really lit up 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.760 the league. What is it like being around zach Ertz? Yeah, 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.800 it's very cool, it's very special. I try to take 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.720 in as much information as I can. I try to 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.840 be a sponge around him. You know, he's been so 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.679 successful in this league for so long, so trying to 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.919 learn everything I can from him. He does such a 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.840 great job. He's he's very sharp in the he knows coverages, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.320 He's very sharp. So trying to take all the tools 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.359 that he has, how he reads coverages, how he gets 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.760 open and kind of put him in my toolbag and 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.680 things like that. But it's been a lot of fun 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.959 to be around him. He's he's a great person, a 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.119 great guy, and a guy that's always willing to to, 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.919 you know, teach me his ways. What's it gonna be 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.120 like to be around Tom Brady on Sunday night? I mean, 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.080 the goat of all time. Yeah, you know, that's gonna 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.359 be that's gonna be surreal. You know, a guy that 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.119 I've really watched growing up my whole life. Um, and 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.479 to be on the same field, um, primetime game, this 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.680 is very very special. You know. I sometimes I almost 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.159 wish I was on defense so I could get a 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.040 chance to sack him. But um, but that's not going 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.240 to happen. Um. But it is very special. It's a cool, cool, 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.520 very cool deal. What do you think is the next 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.920 step for you, Trey and your development? Is you look 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.120 down the road, you say, my goodness, this is this 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.560 is where I am right now. This is where I 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.000 want to be next year. What is that next stop? 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.879 You know, I think just fine tune in the small things, 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.240 just getting open and coverage, how to win against you know, releases, 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.040 things like that, top of routes. Just really fine tune 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.040 in everything to make sure that my margin of air 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.919 is so small. So just making sure that I can 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.359 be as perfect as I can in every aspect of 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.080 the game. But you know, I think just just continuing 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.840 getting better, staying healthy, things like that. I think, come 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.520 back next season knowing the offense I'm gonna be uh, 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.160 you know, moving moving at a much faster pace when 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.880 you when you think of Tampa, right, do you think 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.520 of Rob Gronkowski And did you ever admire Gronk's game 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.080 because he's another big piece missing from that Buccaneers offense 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.119 right now? Yeah? Absolutely. You know, one of my favorite 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.760
