Hors unleash the far 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.400 So let's see the Arizona Cardinals went from New Year's 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:10.200 Day and New Year's resolutions to January second Game Day, 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.479 twenty twenty two, and it was all about implementing those 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.360 New Year's resolutions. Something you've yet to do. Round wolf Ley, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.880 I don't shake my fist at Moon, Sun and sky. Paul, 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.360 let's run down the checklist of Cardinals new year's resolutions 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.720 and how they fared on game day January second, let's 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:33.640 see rush defense check. Dallas had its lowest output of 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.240 the season forty five poultry rushing yards and their lowest 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.679 yards per carry all year two point six. Zeke Elliott's 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.720 middle name was Jack as in squad That was pretty 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.960 good both Turnover free football was on the New Year's 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.880 resolutions list. Wolf, Yeah, check that one plus one key 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:56.000 takeaway on d right, Yes, okay, let's run the ball, wolf, No, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.800 we don't want to hear your run rate percentage run ratio. 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.400 Run the ball thirty two times for a buck twenty 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.720 seven four yards of carry. By the way, the Arizona 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.480 Cardinals this year, did you know when they run the 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.200 ball thirty times or more? Yes? They are nine and 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.840 oh yes I knew that, Polly right there? Okay, yeah, 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.839 they checked a lot of boxes ball. Is that your point? Yes, 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.960 Rodney Hudson check they're nine and two and Rodney and 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.560 then and then talking about the big red rage presented 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.040 by santan Ford and Gilbert we are santan Ford. Okay? 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.200 Was there not another New Year's resolution to find another 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:35.680 outside receiving option minus d hop and double check for 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.640 two touchdown receptions by our special guest. Tonight, Antoine Wesley 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.600 will join us. Wolf, how about that? They cannot? Honestly, Polly, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.680 I cannot wait to talk to Antoine Wesley and get 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.080 his take as to what he believed the best catch, 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.520 the best touchdown catch that he actually had, right because 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.720 you can argue that one right there? Was it the 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.440 tip ball? Or was it? Was it the fade and 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.359 high pointing the fade right there? Most people would say, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.200 oh my god, it's it's the fade? Are you kidding me? 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:07.080 The athleticism, the frame, all that goodness on display for 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.079 all to see. For me, it was really the tip ball. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.799 But I can't wait to actually ask Antoine what he 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.200 thinks was the best You know, I'm having a Ron 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.880 Wolfley moment as my short term memory has failed me 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.560 here Wolf, because he was he was asked that question, 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.160 and I believe he agreed with you it was the 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.160 tip touchdown pass. But I honestly don't remember and recollect. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.840 So yes, we're going to get an answer to that question. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.680 That'd be awesome right there, Bully. I'd be shocked, honestly 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.720 if he did say the tip But because he's a 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.280 wide receiver and we all know wide receiver. Oh I 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.040 love it the fade, throw it up, Let me climb 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.760 the ladder all high pointed and come down with the 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.040 ball as he did. All right, So the Cardinals and 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.520 the three game skid, they get the big dub in 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.240 big d right Cardinals fans behind the bench in Dallas, Shotton, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.760 how about damn Cardinals. So that was good stuff at 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.280 the very end, twenty five twenty two Cardinals win, And 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.000 it's it's amazing how the formula really is. No turnovers, 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.960 don't kill yourself with penalties. Let the other team wind 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.160 about the flags like Dallas has been doing ever since 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.600 that game. Oh my goodness. You know you run the ball, 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.200 you stop the run. Funny how it all coalesces into 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.000 a win. A fact, here's Corey Peters just talking about 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.960 how the Cardinals took a step forward with the mindset. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.360 We definitely have taken a step forward as far as 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.760 our focus is and our walk throughs and our practices 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.160 and our meetings. And this team has won a lot 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.040 of games. You know, we're not gonna change the way 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.600 what we think about our say as we know we're 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.640 capable of beating anybody, but we just have to execute 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.479 at a high level. And there he was after the 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.039 game in Dallas. So well, if your big takeaway, how 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.720 much better do you feel about this team going into 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.880 the postseason. I'm sorry, BALI really to read so much 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.120 into one game, but I think it was a big deal. 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.559 I think it was huge as a matter of fact 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.960 for the Arizona Cardinals to win that game in Dallas. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.600 Would you say Dallas is a formidable team, Paul? Would 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.479 you say they are? There's no doubt, even though you 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.160 can look at their schedule and say, okay, who if 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.000 they really beat that's kind of winning record to begin 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.880 I understand all of that, but I will tell you 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.279 right now, they had eleven wins on the season. That 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.240 says this is a good football team, that being the 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.360 Dallas Cowboys, especially when they play at Jara World, Paul, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:19.080 because you know they played better man their offenses fire 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:25.200 veritable fire when you play at Jarland and they actually 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.479 scored twenty two points in this game because your defense 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.279 went out and bawled out. The defense won a game 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.320 in my opinion for the Arizona Cardinals in a gross 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.320 simplification of the truth, they won a game for the 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.599 Cardinals by going out and keeping the Dallas Cowboys one 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.960 of the best offenses statistically, you could say, the best 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.120 offense in the National Football League, highest scoring offense at home. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.880 As a matter of fact, they kept him to twenty 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.880 two points when they typically score thirty eight. Man, they 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.560 bawled out, and they did it without two of their 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.440 top three edge rushers. Right, they did it without two 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.760 of their top three corners. So there are a lot 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.120 of guys, a lot of different names, a lot of 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.839 guys in different places, and they came through. And you 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.599 know how about the offensive line. Speaking of at Kelvin 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.760 Beacham playing left tackle for the first time in three years, 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.400 I'd love the postgame video from the locker room where 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.800 they're giving out the game balls and everyone's fired up, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.760 and then they get around to Kelvin Beacham getting in 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.840 a game ball for not giving up a sack at 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.640 left tackle, and he's on one knee and he could 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.839 barely even get up and acknowledge he just got a 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.640 game ball because he's so gassed after playing four quarters 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.560 at left tackle. Well, the guy next to him, Justin Peer, 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.360 was talking to the media today and guess what when 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.480 Kyler Murray's under center against Seattle on Sunday, it's gonna 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.560 be the first time that he has played with the 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.520 entire starting offensive line, that entire lineup. Here's justin pee 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.640 on those guys getting healthy, getting all of us healthy. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.440 There's been spurts where Ronnie went down, There's I was 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.960 out for a little bit, Beacham was out for a 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.400 little bit. DJ Humphreys being out last week. Getting all 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.080 these guys healthy going into the playoffs is the perfect timing. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.800 I think this is definitely something that is ideal for 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.400 this offense and his offensive line, and we're looking forward to, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.320 you know, continue to get better and better as a 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.880 group as we roll into the playoffs. And you can't 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.480 minimize the presence of Rodney Hudson, just the way guys 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.280 talk about him, the respect, the reverence for Rodney Hudson 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.280 and what he does for everyone, And what if we 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.400 had talked about it going into the game, Kyler just 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.640 looks more settled and more comfortable. And of course there's 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.880 a correlation, right if you don't have to worry about 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.880 penetration immediately coming through the A gaps, if you're feeling 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.320 that much better and he's helping you read the defense, 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.240 and he's making checks and calls everything. You know, it's 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.520 all about making sure your quarterback is seeing the field. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.720 And when Rodney Hudson is out there, just Kyler's, Kyler's 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:51.360 performance seems to just rise. Accordingly Pauli, the first step 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:56.080 execution is going out there and actually knowing what to do. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.200 That is the first step of execution. You have to 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.600 know what it is that you're doing. And Rodney Hudson 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.360 rarely makes any kind of mistakes when it comes to 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.920 going out on the football field and trying to communicate 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.440 blocking schemes and protection schemes to his teammates. He does 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.080 an incredible job of that. Now, all of a sudden, 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:20.240 he helps Kyler Murray as well in certain looks, certain 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.560 blitz looks or pressure looks on third and obvious paths situation. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.520 He does a great job communicating that execution starts with 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.920 knowing what to do. Before you can actually do it. 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.560 You gotta know what to do, and that's where Rodney 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.559 Hudson is so huge. And then when you talk about 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.560 his ability as a football player to actually execute his job, 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.400 oh my goodness, he's as good as it gets. What 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.320 Cliff Kingsberry say about Ronnie Hudson on his TV show 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.400 Game Plan, he said he's rarely wrong, so everyone has 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.640 that trust and Rodney Hudson what he's seen, what he's calling, 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.640 and honestly, well, if we got into this earlier this week, 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.440 you know, if you told me, okay, if you are 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.440 basing your first round playoff game just strictly on the opponent, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.240 I would take the Cowboys all over again, because I 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.800 firmly think Cliff Kingsbury and Vance Joseph we're a step 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.120 ahead of Mike McCarthy and company. If you're telling he 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.480 you're gonna see Sean McVay, And what does Sean McVay 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.200 have in storing The last time he saw the Rams, 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.480 I saw Cooper Cup wide open, and I saw receivers 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.640 wide open all over the field. If you're talking about 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.760 Kyle Shanahan and what he might have in store for 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.920 a playoff game, Okay, that's a little bit unsettling, right, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.000 But based on Vance Joseph disguising all those looks and 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.559 even Dak Prescott saying after the game they did a 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.920 good job at disguising, just seemed like the Cardinals coaching 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.400 staff and game plan was a step ahead of the Cowboys. 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.719 Yeah maybe, Paulie, maybe you're right on that one, But 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.320 what's it going to be in another rematch in two weeks. 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.720 That's a very very talented football team the Arizona Cardinals 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.800 beat in their place. I want the San Francisco forty 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.559 nine Ers. And the reason why I want the forty 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.720 nine Ers for a third time is because that means 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.600 the Arizona Cardinals aren't playing at home, and that means 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.360 they went ahead and won their game against the Seattle 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.840 Seahawks and won their division, the NFC West. That to me, Polly, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.080 I would love that. I would love for the Arizona Cardinals. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:17.400 I'm getting greedy, paul I, honestly am I want the 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.600 Arizona Cardinals to win the NFC West. Now that means, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.120 of course, the forty nine Ers beat the Los Angeles Rams, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.839 but man, I love that. I'll take that all day 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.200 in run, especially playing the forty nine Ers once again. 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.640 You already beat them twice and now the odds aren't 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.920 in your favor, but so what you're playing home, let's roll. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.760 Also means the Cardinals would have to do something they've 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.880 never done against Russell Wilson a season sweep Hey the Day. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.319 PASH Podcast episode twenty three available now featuring Cardinals VP 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.720 of Pro Personnel Adrian Wilson.

It's been gold for 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.199 the Cardinals. Of the Cowboy one under center is Murray. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.920 Ward is the running back. He takes he boots to 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.240 the left. Now he throws back across his body into 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.920 the enddowe for a tondown. It's caught by Wesley. That 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.760 was Kyler magic that time and the Cardinals with a 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.920 huge touchdown here on fourth down, third and six of 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.320 the nineteen Kyler takes the snap short set, blobs it 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.200 deep near side of the one yard line. Oh want 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.040 to catch ant Swan Wesley into the end zone for 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.800 a touchdown. How did he pull that down? And how 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.240 about the toss by Kyler Murray, a huge score for 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:58.520 the Cardinals. Early in the third, Kyler Murray with a 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:04.720 beam Antoine Wesley one on one on the outside. Let 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.800 the Big Bad go off and bring it down thirt 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.840 and six from the nineteen, preceded by fourth and goal 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.600 from the one. Cliff Kingsbury said a couple of weeks ago, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.600 wolf I was probably the only one in the building 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.000 that knew he could really play. Talking about the offseason 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.240 acquisition of Antoine Wesley, I'm very familiar with him, said 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.360 the head coach. I watched him in college. Nobody could 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.360 cover him. And now guess what the NFL knows, because 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.000 if nothing else, that game was the national Game of 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.600 the Week on Fox, and it got Mondo TV ratings. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.680 Say hello to our guest tonight on The Big Red Rage, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.920 presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert.

Man, um 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.960 I got a lot of family members that love the Cowboys. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.800 So the big game, you know, yeah, you know what 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.360 all the press was.

Oh? Man, it 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.920 was awesome. It feel it feel it felt like oh 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:30.080 back at home. You know my college times when I 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.080 was to tech Um we played there against the cow 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:38.199 not a Cowboys, I'm sorry, uh the Bears, uh for 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.920 for three years and yeah, man, we had a good time. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.199 We had a good time. So what did your family 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.640 members do? I mean, here they are at Twine, they're 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:51.240 they're cowboy fans by your own admittance, and they're cowboy fans. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.760 So what did they do? They put on a cardinal 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.880 jersey or I had for a day. Oh yeah, they 0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.600 had to. They know better than they had it. They 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.040 walk in with a cowboy. They've never gotten no more tickets. Hey, hey, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.480 just just so everyone knows, that's not an automatic because 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.680 both remember Bertrand Barry, the longtime host of The Big 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.520 Red Ray. Hey, Houston guy, his dad, his own father 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.040 would not give up is Houston gear. When the Cardinals 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.440 played the Texans. He just he still was a Houston 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.640 Texans fan. That was hilarious. He used to go at 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.200 it about that. What was your phone like after the game? 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:28.120 I mean it must have blowed up? Huh oh yeah, man, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.720 they blew up a lot, a lot of a lot 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.840 of family members came out the will works. But you know, 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.360 I just stay strong and you know, pray to God 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.160 and you know everything everything was good. I'll just you know, 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.120 more excited that I had the opportunity that God let me, 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.640 you know, be able to do the stuff that I 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.280 did out there for my teammates. And you know I 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.120 would just you know, being a kid in the candy 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.520 store just having a blast. That's the way to do it, 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.640 right there, Antoine, no doubt A bought it. But I 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.120 have to ask you this too. How many tickets? All right? 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.520 I know what it was like to actually have to 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:03.680 buy tickets for your family members. So how many? Oh yeah, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.280 I had about I had about twelve twelve tickets? Man. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.640 It was like Christmas, I'll ay it's you know, Christmas 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.640 is your your birthday? Is everything? Yo? All right? So Wolf, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.440 ask him your question. We heard the two touchdown catches, 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.000 ask him your question. Okay, so here it is Antoine 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.120 right now. You had two touchdown catches. Which one did 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:27.400 you prefer? Which one was better than the other? Oh Man, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.480 to be honest, I loved I loved the fourth down 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.400 fourth down one on the goal line. Oh I didn't 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:36.120 think you want to say that? Why? Man? Okay? So 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.760 so and in my you know, that was really a 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.840 good jump start for you know, not only our offense 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.360 but our defense. You know, our defense you know saw 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.200 that that we drove the ball all the way down 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.000 and that we actually finished. So it was more of 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.920 a you know, all week in practice that we were 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.880 working on was you know, finishing finishing play, finishing the 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.000 drives and and make sure we get that touchdown. So 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.040 I'll definitely, you know, more focused on the fourth down. 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.360 And I was, yeah, I was definitely my best one. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.960 I love that. Yeah, you're right, fifteen plays, ninety one 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.200 yards on that on that drive you capped it from 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.720 Kyler and yeah, the defense loves to get an extra 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.960 cup of gatorade right when you guys are going fifteen 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.000 plays and taking eight a half minutes off the clock. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.680 But I tell you on the second one, take us 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.360 through that a little bit and and at what point 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.080 and do you start thinking, Okay, I gotta time this, 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.840 but I also have to body the defender. I mean, 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.840 what's your mindset? Is that ball leaves Kyler's hand? Yeah? 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.160 You know, um, you know high school I did a 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.680 lot of jumping events in track, so you know, it 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.600 definitely felt like, you know, my my timing was perfect. Um, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.480 you know, pay one through a perfect ball to me 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.320 where only I can go get it. And you know 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.120 we've been working a lot on that in practice, one 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.000 on ones um, and you know, you know, had a release, 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.600 had a good release off the line. Um, he tried 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.560 to jam me, made him miss. And you know after that, 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.840 like if I can get you, you know, side by side, 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.560 and that's I like that game. I love that game. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.520 I tell you. On the sideline, Buddha Baker was going nuts, 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.679 not only just about playing the touchdown, but he was on, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.600 man he can get up. Anybody who listen. Buddha was 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.760 just saying, man, he can get up. So so you're 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:15.280 you're pretty confident when it comes to high pointing the ball. Yeah, yeah, 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.000 that is mine. That is my thing. You know, I 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.200 try to do as much as I can. I try 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.879 to find what's best what I can do, and you know, 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.919 I trying to look at the things that I'm not 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.159 good at, you know, And I definitely worked on you know, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.000 high pointing the ball a lot, and I take take real, 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.000 real hard work to that for sure, you know. Honestly, Antoine, 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.040 I gotta give you an awful lot of credit, man, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.040 because you have earned my respect. I know what it's 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.119 like to go out there and and fail. I know 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.520 what it's like to go out there and make a mistake. 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.680 I know what it's like to go out there and 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.800 not allow my team or give my team an opportunity 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.680 to win a game. I've cost, in my opinion, as 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.439 a personal protector, my team, the opportunity to win a 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.720 game because I made the wrong balls. You dropped the 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.280 ball earlier. You dropped the ball went right through your 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.840 hands on that one. I've got so much respect for 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.639 you because you came back. You wanted the ball again, 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:17.200 did you not? You told Kyler you wanted the ball again, correct? Correct? Yeah, Yeah, 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.400 that's that's my that's my dog. He knows, he knows, 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.119 you know, when my mind said it and you know, 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.080 we practiced more than enough times to where you know, 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.680 one ball is you know, I forget about those things, 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.120 but you know I need to when when that balls 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.600 done to me again, I gotta wipe everything out of 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.879 my memory and catch that ball. He was holding guys 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.040 pretty accountable against the Cowboys during that game. He was 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.720 especially vocal. From what I saw. I can't hear what's 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.439 being said, but can you share with us when you 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.280 guys had a conversation? Didn't you after that drop back 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.439 on the bench. Yeah? Yeah, he pretty much saying, you know, 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.439 he needs me, and you know I told him, you 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.200 know I got you. You know, just throw the ball again, 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.760 you know, you know, put it where I need to 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:57.679 and you know I was a great ball to him. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.520 It was a great ball. So excuse me, h Yeah, 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.000 I mean I just pretty much, you know, just went 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.520 back to the basics, you know what I mean. I 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.840 talked to my coach, my receiver coach on the sideline 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.840 and I felt like I widen too much close to 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.640 the sideline and you know, how to fight fight back more. 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.320 But you know, a ball ball touched my hands, you know, 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.720 that's that's mine, that's that would definitely on me. Have 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.359 you okay, go ahead, I just say real quick, you 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.960 and Kyler go way back, right, and so you have 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:28.920 that relationship where you guys can keep it real I presume, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.879 So sometimes we don't even have to say anything. You know, 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.480 we got that look where you know it's it's already, 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.479 it's already go. You know it, it's good. Have you 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.960 always been that way? Antoine? Have you? Have you always 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.840 been tough? Because there's a lot of guys that are 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:45.040 front runners when everything is going well, give me the 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.359 baton and I'll laid the parade and everything. But what 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.320 happens when you face a little adversity? Have you always 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:55.359 been that tough? Oh? Yeah, you know, I got I 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.800 got a chip on my shoulder everywhere I go. You know, 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:01.239 I've I've worked my butt off, you know. Uh, like 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.040 I said, you know I have. I only had two 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.399 offers coming out of high school, and Clip with my 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.160 first offering and I committed right on spot. So after that, 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.520 you know, I just felt like, you know, if he's 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.800 given me, given me this opportunity, you know, then and 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.520 I could do it. So you know, I'm proving everybody wrong. 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.280 You know, the people that didn't draft me. You know, 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.480 you know they're they're they're gonna get it. Well, your 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.200 teammates saw it. AJ Green was our guest right after 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:24.920 the game and I had a chance to interview him 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.280 and I asked him about your two touchdown performance at Dallas. 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.240 Here's AJ Green Man. They're just unbelievable. I'm so happy 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.280 for that kid, Tweezy Man. The way he works, you know, 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:36.840 coming in and training camp, we know Tweezies. He was different, 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.919 the way he went about his business on and off 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.159 the field. Man, that guy just works his butt off. 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.360 I'm so so happy that people can see and it's 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.520 how it workspan off for him. Take us back to 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:50.199 training camp, because you definitely played with an edge in 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:54.359 August in those practices, and you tell us what was 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.960 your mindset in there, because you were pretty much a 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:01.800
