So 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: what ahead he got jacked. 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 2: This is the big Red rage presented by Emergency Air. 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 3: Sacked again Koalis Campbell slammed the ground by Buddha Baker 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 3: like a torpedo. He came flying into the backfield. 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: The rage is brought to you buy Emergency Air. The 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: difference is we care. 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: Want to grab my Trainmick right, That was spectacular. 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: And by Arizona Cardinals podcast visit Azycardinals dot Com, slash podcast. 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 4: All Red Sea, its Rising Up, jimb you, Rising Vision, 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 4: Flurry Rage, diac it Ober, Here's Paul Calvic. 12 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 5: I'm ready.

It doesn't get any better than that. 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 4: Lead. 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 5: It's not exactly a line that we like to think 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 5: of ourselves as the well, the epicenter of the football universe. 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 5: The thing is, this week, wolf it might have actually 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 5: been true as the NFL league meetings, the owners meetings 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 5: actually took place right here in the PHX. We don't 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 5: have to make no sninking road trip. The football world 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 5: came to us there. We were out at the Biltmore 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 5: or Ruben Elbows with the GMS and the head coaches 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 5: and ownership until well until the doors closed and only 25 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 5: the decision makers were allowed in. So that's cool. They 26 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 5: decided we report it. It's the Big Red Rage presented 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 5: by Emergency. Here, Paul Calvic here, Ron Wolfley there, Paulie. 28 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: I'm wondering just how much golf actually happened as well. Sure, 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm imagining there might have been some rounds played out there. 30 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was very well attended. Put it that way. 31 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 5: They're not going to miss a trip like that. There 32 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 5: was also the Jay Glazier Day drinking event with head coaches. 33 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 5: I think twenty eight of the thirty two we saw 34 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 5: in the video, so they had, you know, a couple 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 5: of beverages there in the afternoon, some camaraderie among the 36 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 5: head coaches. So look, there was a lot going on 37 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 5: this week. Once again, the az was the epicenter. They 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 5: all came to us, the Big Red Rage landscape. What's 39 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 5: to come here? On the Big Red Rage itself. We're 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 5: gonna talk some flag football a little bit later, once 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 5: again Larry Fitzgerald winning at Life. We're gonna talk about 42 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 5: some rules changes. We're gonna hear Mike Lafleur talk about 43 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 5: joint practices with Matt Lafleur. If we have time, I'm 44 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 5: gonna duck in a quote from Matt Lafleur this week 45 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 5: that might be telling, might be telling about Mike Lafleor. 46 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 5: We're gonna talk quarterback as well. No, we're not gonna 47 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 5: get into the mock drafts. Wolf, We're gonna take a rest, 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 5: but I think from the mock drafts for one week 49 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 5: with the owners meetings in town, and then we'll get 50 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 5: into what the Cardinals defense is looking like, et cetera, 51 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 5: et cetera. But once again Cardinals head coach Mike Lafleur, 52 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 5: and among other things, you know, talking about. Look, he 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 5: is installing this offense as we speak, basically the foundation 54 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 5: at this point, just tearing it down to the studs. 55 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 5: And I bring that up because Matt laflor told ESPN 56 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 5: about the way the Packers season ended last year, and 57 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 5: if you remember, they did not win a game after 58 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 5: early December, they lost five in a row, including the 59 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 5: playoff game, and he said, quote, if I'm being honest 60 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 5: about it, Matt Lafleor, I think there were some guys, 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 5: some Packers that were upset about roles and I think 62 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 5: that took a toll on our football team. So from 63 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 5: a coaching standpoint, role clarity is key. We got to 64 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 5: do a better job at communicating and that is on 65 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 5: us because buy in is absolutely critical. And among other things, 66 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 5: he said he's going to strip the offense down to 67 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 5: the studs, reinstalled as if he had just arrived, which 68 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 5: is something Sean McVay is known for doing every single 69 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 5: Year's bring this up in a roundabout way, wolf is 70 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 5: I think Mike lafloor is incredibly equipped as a first 71 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 5: year head coach to install an offense because he's had 72 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 5: a lot of experience doing exactly that almost every single 73 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 5: season he has worked for Sean McVay and even Kyle Shanahan. 74 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bully, No, I think you're right on that. In 75 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: regard to installing the offense. I think Michae Lafleura is 76 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: highly qualified to do just that. Can I also say 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: this too, and something you said right there, you know, 78 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: the whole buy in thing. I'm sorry, Paula, it gets 79 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: me fired up. This is the National Football League. We 80 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: are paying you millions of dollars for you to go 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: out and play this game right here, the whole buy 82 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: in part of it. You're a professional football player. I'm 83 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: only going to bring guys inside the locker room, whether 84 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: it's via free agency, Paul, or the draft. I'm only 85 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: going to bring in guys that are going to walk 86 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: through those doors and forget about the buy in. I'm 87 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: here to compete. Tell me what it is that I've 88 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: got to do. I'm not here to totally be in 89 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: agreement with you. I know that my contract is signed 90 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay me money to play football. So 91 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm here to just go out and compete and do 92 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: whatever I can. The whole buy in thing, especially when 93 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: you're talking about the National Football League. Hey, there are 94 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there who maybe haven't bought in, 95 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: haven't bought into the offense, haven't bought into the defense. 96 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: But you know what, they go out there and they 97 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: do their job and they ball. You don't have to 98 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: be in agreement, you don't have to be in alignment. 99 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Just go play the game of football, because you know what, 100 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. We are paying you to play 101 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: the game of football. 102 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 5: So sorry, Paul, you know who didn't agree with a 103 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 5: lot of the Packer fans and the noise out there 104 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 5: was Packers president ed policy. He said it was absurd, 105 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 5: almost laughable that Packer fans were calling for him to 106 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 5: fire Matt Lafleur. Instead, he gave Mattlafloor a contract extension. 107 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. 108 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 5: And here's what ed policy. The Packers president said, quote 109 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 5: Matt as a teacher, He's a natural at it. His 110 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 5: parents were both teachers. Just watching him develop players as 111 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 5: individuals and then more importantly developed those individuals into teams. 112 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 5: I was impressed with him, in particular at the quarterback position. 113 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 5: Is that not telling? Just more evidence as to why 114 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals might have hired Mike laflor What did 115 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 5: they want? They wanted player development, they wanted teaching. They 116 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 5: wanted you to bring together a team and then ultimately, yes, 117 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 5: develop a quarterback. 118 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Yes, there's no doubt about it, PAULI. I mean, I 119 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: think Matt Lafleor is one of the finest coaches in 120 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: the National Football League, and going into last season, I 121 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: think that would have been pretty much unanimous if you 122 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: would have asked people, is Matt Lafleur a good coach? 123 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: I think any analyst worth his salt in the National 124 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: Football League would have said, no doubt about it. He 125 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: is an excellent coach, Matt Lafleur. But when you lose 126 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: five in a row, Pauly and things go downhill like that, yeah, 127 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: you're always going to be under scrutiny. That's just the 128 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: nature of the beast. 129 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 5: So Mad laflor and Mike Lafloor Bot talked about the 130 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 5: joint practice that's going to come and sync with a 131 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 5: final preseason game in August. Here's Michael Lafloor, Cardinals head 132 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 5: coach on the benefits of these joint practices. 133 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 6: I love joint practices, you know, because you get to 134 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 6: hit somebody else, you get to see, you know, somewhat 135 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 6: of a different scheme. Now, I know someone's gonna probably ask, well, 136 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 6: JG's kind of probably a similar scheme. They're gonna do 137 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 6: whatever Green Bay is gonna do now, you know, and 138 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 6: he's gonna fit it to their players, and yeah, the 139 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 6: scheme and all that, But we're going against different players, 140 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 6: different corners, different deal we're blocking different guys. Training camp 141 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 6: is long, and so for the same team to be 142 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 6: hitting each other for that many weeks in a row, 143 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 6: you've got to break it up. You just have to 144 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 6: because inevitably, we all know what's going to happen after 145 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 6: you keep hitting your own brother for a while. 146 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 5: There you go, Michae Lafloor talking with the media, chopping 147 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: it up the other morning at the league meetings. Well, 148 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 5: think about all the intrigue of a Cardinals Packers joint 149 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 5: practice in August. What does the NFL do better than 150 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 5: any other league storylines in angles? Not only the two 151 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 5: brothers as opposing head coaches, but guess who the Packers 152 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 5: defensive coordinator is, the former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, 153 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon. I mean, there's good There's gonna be a 154 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 5: lot of layers to these joint practices. 155 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: No, there's no doubt about it, Paul Amy. This is 156 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: going to be high drama right here when the Arizona 157 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals practice with the Green Bay Packers. I did think 158 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: it was interesting to hear Michael Lafoor said, we all 159 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: know what happens when you hit your brother over a 160 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: period of time. And I'm I'm totally just putting words 161 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: in his mouth right now, PAULI. But for me, what 162 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: does that mean? Michae Lafleur, Yeah, we all know what happens, 163 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: you start dropping, you start fighting your brother out on 164 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: the football field. That's what I think he was alluding to. 165 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if you picked up on that at all, 166 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: Paully at all, but this is gonna be great. I 167 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: love joint practice. This is I'm a huge believer in 168 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: joint practices. Coaches, all the coaches that I've talked to, 169 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: especially positioned coaches, oh my goodness, they love joint practices. 170 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: And the reason being is because when you get to 171 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: go one on one, if you're an offensive tackle and 172 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're going to bring all their 173 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: defensive ends or outside linebackers over to rush that offensive tackle. Now, 174 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, if you're an offensive line coach 175 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: and you're a defensive line coach or you're an outside 176 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: linebackers coach, you can get up close and personal right 177 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: there on the field with a guy that's going to 178 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: go live one hundred percent one on one, and it's 179 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: going to be a great way to evaluate that player 180 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: and see a little bit of his soul right before you. 181 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: I know, coaches love it because they get to evaluate 182 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: not just the physical pully, but also the mental and 183 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: the spiritual side of every player they have. 184 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 5: I was talking this week on Cardinals Underground, the podcast, 185 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 5: about how it would not shock me in the years 186 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 5: to come when they go to eighteen regular season games 187 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 5: in two preseason games. If they're looking for more content 188 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 5: to televise in August, just televise the joint practice. Yes, 189 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 5: earlier today they went live with Indiana's Pro Day. I mean, 190 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 5: they get great ratings for the combine. Are you telling 191 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 5: me if you put Cardinals Packers joint practice at lambeau 192 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: Field that they wouldn't sell a ton of tickets and 193 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 5: be able to televise that to both local markets. Absolutely 194 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 5: they would, and. 195 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: Not only that too, Paully. Once again, because they get 196 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: that up close and personal look at a player, it's 197 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: oftentimes a better way to actually evaluate whether or not 198 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: this guy is going to be able to go out 199 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: and actually help you during the season. I mean, it 200 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: is an awesome thing that they're doing this, and I 201 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: see this really being something that is going to take 202 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: over the National Football League. There's no doubt about it. Paul. 203 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: I think we all feel that eighteenth game is coming, 204 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: is it not? Oh? Yeah, that eighteenth game is coming, 205 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: PAULI now what are you going to do on the 206 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: opposite end of it. Yeah, you're gonna have to trim 207 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: back the preseason even more. 208 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 5: I mean, if people are going to watch the three 209 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 5: cone drill on the broad jump of the combine, of 210 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 5: course they'll watch two teams go at it in a 211 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 5: joint practice. I just think it's coming. By the way, 212 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 5: we'll talk a little bit later about some of the 213 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 5: rules changes, but effective this season, the kicking team now 214 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 5: can declare an onside kick at any time during the game. 215 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 5: You have to be trailing, but it can't just be 216 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. You can do any point. If you're 217 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 5: trailing in the game, you can declare an onside kick. 218 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 5: And by the way, another rule change allows the replay 219 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 5: Center in New York to consult with on field officials 220 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: when considering ejections for both flagrant and non flagrant football acts, 221 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 5: and for one year only, the NFL Officiating Apartment is 222 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 5: allowed to correct clear and obvious mistakes made by on 223 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 5: field officials and impact the game that might be in 224 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 5: preparation for replacement refs. We'll get into that more a 225 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 5: little bit later. We continue with a big red rage 226 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 5: presented by Emergency Air. 227 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: What a throw by percent and the Cardinals in business. 228 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 7: You cannot say enough about Jacoby present. 229 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett again on time on target. The quarterback has 230 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: the confidence of his teammates and coaching staff. Jacoby Brissette 231 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: has played terrific football. Jacoby Pressett with a dime. How 232 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 3: about Jacoby Brissett again lading the Cardinals down for a 233 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: go ahead touchdown. What a throw again by Brissett and 234 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 3: they convert third and long once again. 235 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 5: Jacoby Brossett is slinging it right now. 236 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 7: He comes out firing every ball on time on target. 237 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 3: Perssette takes the Cardinals down the field and they retick 238 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 3: the lead. 239 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 7: You can't say enough about Jacoby Presett and what he's 240 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 7: been able to do today. 241 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 5: What happens if you give Jacoby Brissett a healthy offensive line? 242 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 5: What happens if you give Jacoby Brissett a top ten 243 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 5: run game like the Cardinals featured in two twenty twenty three, 244 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 5: twenty twenty four with a couple couple of top five 245 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 5: running backs when it comes to breaking tackles, What happens 246 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 5: when you give him a fighting chance and a ballgame 247 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 5: that's tight, instead of maybe getting lopsided on the scoreboard, 248 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 5: and you got to go to the air and your 249 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 5: one dimensional. You know what happens, dot dot dot. I 250 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 5: think we're all intrigued by that. Obviously the Cardinals are, 251 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 5: because right here, right now, Jacoby Brissett appears to be 252 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 5: QB one. It is the big Red Rage presented by 253 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 5: emergency here Paul calvic Ron, Wolflee Wolf. I mean, how 254 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 5: comfortable are you Jacoby Brissett as the twenty twenty six 255 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 5: starting quarterback? 256 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, I'm okay, I really am, as long as 257 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: you tell me that you're gonna take twenty twenty six 258 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: and you are going to rebuild that offensive line. You 259 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: are going to put money into the offensive line like 260 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: they already have financially, and then you're gonna put draft 261 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: capital into that offensive line as well. Because I honestly 262 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: do believe this ball And I said this before my 263 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: hot take. This is my hottake. Oh my goodness, did 264 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: I get beat up on social media? PAULI, Oh my goodness. 265 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: But my hot take is, you go ahead and rebuild 266 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: this offensive line and you get some young blood, excellent 267 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: talent like a Francis MALLIANOA. I'm just saying, you get 268 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: a guy like that into your building, and then you 269 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: put him on that offensive line, Paul, with the James 270 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Connor combination and Tyler l Jeer, you put those two 271 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: guys together and then you pound the rock. The one 272 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: thing Jacobe PRIs said it's really really good at is 273 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: throwing the ball, in particular in rundown situation, using play 274 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: action to throw the ball with a great tight end, 275 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: maybe the best tight end in the league. He's right 276 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: there with George Kittle as far as I'm concerned. Trey 277 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: McBride running all the short to intermediate stuff off of 278 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: play action, and then of course Michael Wilson proved what 279 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: kind of wide receiver he is. And I think both 280 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: Marvin Harridson Junior and Kendrick Bourne, you're gonna have a 281 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: nice combination in rundown situation to throw the ball in. Paul, 282 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals are gonna shock people. I 283 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: think they're gonna have one of the better offenses in 284 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: the National Football League in terms of being in the 285 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: top half of the league. 286 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 5: You know the name that Mike Lafleur brought up on 287 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 5: his own during his breakfast media meeting this week, Tip Ryman. 288 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 5: He just brought up number eighty seven on his own 289 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 5: because you know he's been watching film, and you know 290 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 5: he watched the first half of last season and he 291 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 5: saw the carnage, the damage that Tip Ryman would inflict 292 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 5: coming from an offense last year with the Rams that 293 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 5: led the world in thirteen personnel. So with Trey McBride 294 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 5: and Elijah Higgins and Tip Ryman, you got to and 295 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 5: then the signing of Tyson al Gear. To me, if 296 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 5: there's a tell, it's that it is going to be 297 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 5: a physical, straight ahead, power offense at least have the 298 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 5: ability to run those power schemes. I just think the 299 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: style of some of these plays players is a tell 300 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 5: on the style of run game you're going to employ. 301 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pauli, there's no doubt about it. Man. I am 302 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: really really excited to see what Jacoby Brissaid is going 303 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: to be able to do once that offensive line gets repaired. 304 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: And I can't stress it enough, Paul, I am at 305 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: a point right now where if you told me the 306 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, we're gonna go out there and dominate the 307 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. They may not win games, but they're 308 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: gonna dominate the line of scrimmage because they're gonna put 309 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: five guys in front of Jacoby Brissad, five guys in 310 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: front of James Connor, five guys in front of Tyler 311 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: l Jeer. They're gonna put five guys in front of them, 312 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: and they're gonna let those guys blow people off the ball. Man, 313 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I am gonna be satiated, Paul, 314 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: how about that for a word? I am. My satiety 315 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: level is going to be off the charts watching this 316 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: team play. I don't know how many games they're gonna win, 317 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: because it takes a team in all three phases is 318 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: to go out and play well and be teams, especially 319 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: when you're talking about competing in the NFC West, when 320 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: you really don't have that franchise type quarterback that you're 321 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: going to build around for the next ten to fifteen years. 322 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: It's a very very tall order to do that. But man, 323 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: my society level is going to be really, really good 324 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: if we're blowing people off the ball. 325 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 5: All right, So this portion of the Big Red Rage 326 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,239 Speaker 5: presented by emergency here or brought to you by our 327 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 5: word of the day. I don't know if it's sotiety 328 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 5: or satiate either one. 329 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: You know. 330 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 5: Right now I'm figuring I better bring in some some 331 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 5: heavy hitters like Michae Lafleur talking about Jacoby Brissett being 332 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 5: a good fit for this offense. 333 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: Excited to work with them. 334 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 6: You know, they'll be getting here on the seventh for 335 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 6: you know, the start of Phase one, and I can't lie, 336 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 6: so I just like to tell him, like, dude, like 337 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 6: for years, I've always thought you'd be a really good 338 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 6: fit for this system. He's I mean, you guys see 339 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 6: how big he is back there, his stature of the 340 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 6: play action game. I think he does a good job 341 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 6: of getting the ball, you know, out of his hands 342 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 6: when there is some trouble with the pocket. 343 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: So it'd be fun. I know. 344 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 5: Look, you might have got bagged on, dunked on on 345 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 5: social media whatever. I got ripped by Darren Urban this 346 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 5: week because I made the following analogy. It goes something 347 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 5: like this. Do you know how old Carson Palmer was 348 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 5: when he got traded to the Cardinals from the Raiders 349 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 5: thirty three? Do you know how old Jacoby Brissett is 350 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 5: thirty three? They're very similar in a lot of ways. 351 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 5: Now I get it. Carson Palmer had been to the playoffs, 352 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 5: he'd been a franchise, a Heisman winner, number one pick. Overall, 353 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 5: I get it. The talent level, we can have that argument. 354 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 5: I get it, okay, But once again, if you can 355 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 5: put an offense around Jacoby Brissett, I mean, look what 356 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 5: Sam Darnold just did all the way to a Lombardi Trophy, right, 357 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 5: you put everything else around the quarterback. And then if 358 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 5: indeed Mike Lafleur is telling the truth on this one 359 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 5: what he looks for in a quarterback, listen to this 360 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 5: wolf one. 361 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 6: Toughness Like if you can't sit back in the pocket 362 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 6: and you're a non no flinch guy, or you're flinching 363 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 6: back there, you got no chance, right, So natural thrower, like, 364 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 6: is it coming out ty? You can pack all that 365 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 6: decision making, timing, accuraciving, there's so many factors. 366 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 5: That go into quarterback play. 367 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 6: But if you don't have toughness, you can't sit in 368 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 6: that pocket and you're not a natural thrower, it's hard 369 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 6: to play. 370 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: In the sleep. 371 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 5: Toughness you've talked about Carson Palmer right, totally underrating in 372 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 5: terms of toughness. To me, watching Jacoby Brissett, the second 373 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 5: half of last year. How many times you had to 374 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 5: pick himself up off the ground. He would limp over 375 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 5: to the sidelines, the trainers came screaming over. He's like, 376 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 5: I'm good. He shook everyone off, and then he went 377 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 5: out for the next series. I mean, he's a tough dude, 378 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett. 379 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: Paul, There's no doubt about it. Watching the beating he 380 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: took last year and yet still was able to go 381 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: out and throw the ball. Man, I'm telling you, I 382 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: thought it was also very interesting to hear Mike Lafleur 383 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: say that right there in regard to Jacoby Brissette on 384 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: play action, just how excited he is see him in 385 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: play action in this offense. This offense is going to 386 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: be a huge and rundown situation because once again, when 387 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: you have Tyler l Jeer and James Connor and they're 388 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: running the ball in between the tackles and an offensive 389 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: line that's gonna come off the ball with a dark 390 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: heart and a painted face and try to remove somebody 391 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: from the line of scrimmage. You're gonna have a lot 392 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: of second level linebackers sucking up in a big way. 393 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: And Jacoby Brissett throws the play action ball very well. 394 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: And you know what, the zone scheme with Sean McVay 395 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: is a huge part of their offense. The zone scheme, 396 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: whether it's the tackle zone, the wide zone, bully, or 397 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: the inside zone, whatever it is, it's a huge part 398 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: of what Sean McVay and the Rams did running the 399 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: ball and then using play action off of that look. 400 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: And that's exactly the strengths of Jacoby Brissett. And that's 401 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: why I say, look up, this is gonna be fun. 402 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 5: Just the threat of play action that the defense has 403 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 5: to respect, right, I mean yes, a year ago, no 404 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 5: one threw more passes than the Cardinals. No one attempted 405 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 5: fewer rushing plays than the Cardinals. It was so imbalanced. 406 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 5: It just you went out the change, and you know, 407 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 5: so to have the real threat wherein it's tight on 408 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 5: the scoreboard and they're gonna have to respect that play action, 409 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 5: it can make I mean, well, if that can make 410 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 5: a huge difference in the performance to Kobe Brissett, We've 411 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 5: already seen his ability to go to second, third level right, 412 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 5: get the ball downfield. But now if indeed all of 413 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 5: a sudden, those linebackers are respecting the rushing attempt, the 414 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 5: play action of a James Connor and Tyler al Jeer. 415 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, dreaming's free. You're thinking of Trey 416 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 5: McBride and Michael Wilson and Marmon Errison Junior running more 417 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 5: free than ever. 418 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: Yes, there's no doubt about it. And again, Jacoby Brissette 419 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: runs the play action mechanics very very well, especially off 420 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: the wide zone scheme, and that is so important. It 421 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: really is to watch that quarterback run to that meshpoint 422 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, who's got the ball? Does 423 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: he have it? Did he hand the ball off or not? 424 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: Those inside linebackers, man, they don't know. But then all 425 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden he oh, he drops back into the 426 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: pocket or there's a bootleg coming out of it. I 427 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: just I'm really excited to see how he is going 428 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: to grow in this offense. Once again, I'm not saying 429 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are going to go out and win 430 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 1: ten games, Paul, because all of a sudden, Jacoby Brissett 431 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: is going to the Pro Bowl. That's not what I'm saying. 432 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: But what he does execute extremely well. It's the kind 433 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: of offense that Mike Laflor is going to bring here, and. 434 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 5: I've been saying for a while he is one of 435 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 5: the best mentors of any veteran quarterback in the league. 436 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 5: So if you're going to bring in a rookie quarterback, 437 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 5: this is a great year to do that because you'll 438 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 5: be alongside Jacoby Brissett. It's a big red rage presented 439 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 5: by emergency are we continue right after this. 440 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 3: Balling to Jacksonville twelve snap to Lawrence, straight drop, pressure 441 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 3: off the edge, Lawrence hitting, the ball comes out, it's 442 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 3: picked off. It's intercepting by Nolan at the five. He 443 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 3: gets hit on the goal line, but he got the 444 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: ball across for the touchdown. We'll see if they roll 445 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 3: in a buffle or an interception return. It doesn't matter. 446 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 3: It's a defensive score and the Cardinals up point away 447 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: from tying it. The rookie Walter Nolan into the end zone. 448 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 7: Love seeing a big man touchdown right there. They brought everybody, 449 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 7: both linebackers up. Bring Jalen Thompson off the edge, hits him. 450 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 7: As the ball comes out, The big man Walter Nolan 451 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 7: catches it and doesn't go down, finds a way to 452 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 7: get in the end zone. 453 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: Love to see it. 454 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: How about Nolan stretching the ball out as he got 455 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 3: hit on the goal line. 456 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: Hey, you're talking about a former power back, right. He 457 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 5: had a few touchdowns in his time in high school. 458 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 5: They bring him in as the heavy hitter, literally back 459 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 5: in his high school days. Seven yard fumble return for 460 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 5: touchdown against Jacksonville. Look, the only thing that stopped Walter 461 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 5: Nolan last year as a rookie was injury. I didn't 462 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 5: see anybody else stop Walter Nolan. I mean, he was 463 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 5: a problem, a headache from day one, game one that 464 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 5: he played. It's the big Red Rage presented by emergency here, 465 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 5: Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley, I mean, wolf let's just stream 466 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 5: for a minute. Okay, it's still free out there. Let's 467 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 5: dream for him, and let's say put a tariff on it. 468 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 5: It's still free. Here's the deal you got, Josh Swedt. 469 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 5: He's totally healthy. He's coming off a career high twelve 470 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 5: sacks on one side. On the other side, number three overall. Oh, 471 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 5: I don't know. You take David Bailey and you get 472 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 5: a speed rusher off the other side, and then in 473 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 5: the interior, Oh my goodness, here's the Roy Lopezan there. Okay, 474 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 5: over the nose. But then at the three technique just 475 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 5: train wrecking dudes is Walter Nolan. And then Darius Robinson 476 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 5: picks up where he left off the last three games 477 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 5: of last year, where he was all over the box 478 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 5: score three games he was really productive. D rob Now, 479 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, all of a sudden, Wolf, you 480 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 5: know your defensive front looks much improved from a year ago. 481 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, Paul, how in the world are 482 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: we going to take David Bailey if in fact we're 483 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: drafting Francis man No at number three. That's what I 484 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 1: would ask to you. I would say to you right now. Listen, 485 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: Walter Nolan, I truly do mean this Walter Nolan, the 486 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: three technique, Paul, as I like to say, this guy 487 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: he showed such unbelievable class, and not only that the 488 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: ability to go out and ball out on the field. 489 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: I was absolutely blown away by his effectiveness. He looked 490 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: like the classic wrecking ball that a true three technique 491 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: can be. When he was healthy, he was producing, he 492 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: was making plays, and they were special plays, like that 493 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 1: pick that you just played right there. That was an 494 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: incredible the athletic special play by Walter Nolan. To get 495 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: that ball in. I listen, the most destructive force, as 496 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: you know in the football universe is a good three technique. 497 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor was one of the best. In fact, I'm 498 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: just gonna call him, he was the best outside linebacker 499 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: slash pass rusher in the history of the National Football League. 500 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: And you know why because he had Leonard Marshall also 501 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: lined up on the three technique inside of him. And 502 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: I see Walter Nolan being that guy. Now, can Josh 503 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: Sweat and Walter Nolan get out on the field enough 504 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: and get enough reps together where they can work together 505 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: on the same side of the field, just like Leonard 506 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: Marshall and LT did. 507 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 5: What our guy Kyle Vannibasch used to tell us, the 508 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 5: three years he went to the Pro Bowl KBB were 509 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 5: the three years that he paired up with Hainsworth and 510 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 5: the Dominican Sue. Those were his Pro Bowl interior d 511 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 5: linemen sol Yep, there is a direct correlation and there's 512 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 5: no doubt about it. And remember that Walter Nolan didn't 513 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 5: have a training camp. He hadn't Warren PADDs since college. 514 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 5: He came in a year away from fully padded, full speed, 515 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 5: full contact football, So give him a training camp, give 516 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 5: them august in Nick Rowlis's system. Speaking of here's Mike 517 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 5: Lafleur this week talking to the media, a little breakfast 518 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 5: media session at the league meetings, just talking about learning 519 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 5: the defense himself as Rawless installs it. 520 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie to you guys to sit and 521 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 6: say I've been doing the installs with Nick and all that. 522 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 6: But we're communicating daily, you know. And I'm not just 523 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 6: the OFFENSI court, not just the play car. I'm the 524 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 6: head coach, and I understand that. You know, my hamprint's 525 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 6: got to be all around this thing. Right now, I'm 526 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 6: more focused on just kind of learning their defense with 527 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 6: them and then you know, building the relationships with the 528 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 6: rest of that those defensive players. 529 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 5: So well, if we go and speculate, Okay, wait a minute, 530 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 5: you're getting into a game week. You're taking on Kyle Shanahan. 531 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 5: You're talking taking on Sean McVeigh. The two ment right, 532 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 5: the two coaches Mike Lafleur is so tight with. I mean, 533 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 5: is it preposterous to think that Michael Lafleur walks into 534 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 5: the office of Nick Rawlsis's defensive coordinator says, guess what 535 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 5: I know for a fact, this, this, and that gives 536 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 5: Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan fits. Don't you think that's 537 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 5: a bit of a competitive advantage when it comes to 538 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 5: game planning for those four games every year against the 539 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 5: Rams and Niners. 540 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it, PAULI, There is absolutely no 541 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: doubt about it, especially now when you get Mike Laflora, 542 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: who as you you just laid out so beautifully. I mean, 543 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: he's coming from the Sean McVeigh tree, the Kyle Shanahan tree, 544 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. The kind of input that Mike 545 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: Laflora is going to be able to have with Nick Rawlis, 546 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: I think is going to help bring along Nick Rawlis 547 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: quicker than anything that could have possibly happened. I really 548 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: truly believe that, because now you've got a guy on 549 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: the opposite side of the ball that can say, yeah, 550 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: but what about this? And if I do that, what 551 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: are you going to do then? Or what about this? 552 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: If you do? The feedback that he's going to be 553 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: able to get from Nick Rawlis and the feedback he's 554 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: going to be able to give Nick Rawlis is off 555 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: the charts. 556 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 5: And then the Cardinals added senior defensive assistant Arrell Austin. 557 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 5: You might remember him back in the day as the 558 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 5: DB's coach for the Cardinals. The last six years or 559 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 5: so he spent with his Steelers and Mike Tomlin. He's 560 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 5: a three time defensive coordinator, Arrell Austin. And here's what 561 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 5: Michael Floor had to say about that addition. 562 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 6: I didn't have a relationship with Ta. I've just obviously 563 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 6: played against him, you know, as a coordinator, and I've 564 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 6: had always a lot of respect for him. Some people 565 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 6: in Pittsburgh, Coach t and some other guys that just 566 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 6: absolutely said the world bomb. So like what a like 567 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 6: selfishly for me to have a guy with that much 568 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 6: experience who's called it on the defense and has been 569 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 6: around really, in my opinion, one of the better buildings 570 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 6: in all the football and the Pittsburgh Steelers and how 571 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 6: they do selfishly, I was excited about that. But more importantly, 572 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 6: I think he's gonna be a great asset for these players. 573 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 5: I think it's really intriguing as to how and where 574 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 5: the Cardinals defensive scheme might evolve this year with the 575 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 5: addition of Tarrell Austin. I mean, think of it. I mean, 576 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 5: Nick Ross is still in his early thirties, right, and 577 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon, a defensive end coach, is no longer here, 578 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 5: So I'm thinking Ta might have maybe a bigger role 579 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: than most people might anticipate. 580 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: No, I think you're you're right on the money about that, Paul. 581 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: You know, once again, I just want to I want 582 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: to emphasize how important it is that you got a 583 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: guy and it's the reason why Mike laflor twice said selfishly. 584 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: He said selfishly, I love the fact that Arrell Austin 585 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: is here. What do you mean selfishly, Mike, Well, not 586 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: only is he going to help your coaching staff, of course, 587 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: but also you're going to be able to bounce things 588 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: off of Terrell Austin as well and get feedback from 589 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: a guy you have a great deal of respect for. 590 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: It's the same thing. It's Mike Lafleur working closely with 591 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: Nick Rollis and bouncing stuff off of each other and 592 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: getting somebody else's opposite view of what it is you're doing. 593 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: It is so important for coaches in their development, I think, 594 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: and it's one of the reasons why he said it 595 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: twice selfishly in regard to Tara Austin being able to 596 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: help them. 597 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 5: And look, you're gonna get mac Wilson senior back, and 598 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 5: there's a correlation between mac Wilson missing from this defense 599 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 5: and the Cardinals missing from the win column the rest 600 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 5: of the year. The cornerback room is going to be healthy, 601 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 5: knock on Wood, and that is going to be an 602 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 5: absolute fistfight for playing time. I mean, that cornerback room 603 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 5: is loaded. And then when you have a Buddha Baker 604 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 5: leading the secondary and and Andrew Wingert coming in with 605 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 5: that mentality, I'm just all three levels of this defense 606 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 5: potentially could elevate. And then if they stay healthy again 607 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 5: with the addition of Tarrell Austin, I'm just really intrigued 608 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 5: about how and where the defense might improve, might look 609 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 5: a little different, whether it needs to look a little 610 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 5: different minus Jonathan Gannon. That's all still to come, and 611 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 5: it's gonna be really interesting to see once we get 612 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 5: it into training camp. Hey join Cardinals Premiere Travel August 613 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 5: sixth through the eighth, celebrating Larry Fitzgerald's induction into the 614 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 5: Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Well, 648 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 5: a big part of it was his personality.

How about that. That's going 694 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 5: into the cold tub time machine if you will. But look, 695 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 5: Kwame was so good in so many ways, so good 696 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 5: on the field, so good for the locker room, and 697 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 5: uh you know, and well you know better anyone having 698 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 5: played ten years in the league. You need that, right, 699 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 5: I mean you need those guys, Yes, the grind, the sacrifice. 700 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 5: I mean when guys talk about in their post playing days, 701 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 5: what they miss the most. They don't miss being on 702 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 5: the training table or being on crutches or getting out 703 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 5: of bed on a Monday morning. That's what they misses. 704 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 5: The camaraderie right in the locker room. 705 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 1: Well, sometimes you miss wedgebusting more pol sometimes you actually 706 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: miss that. But yes, the camaraderie is always really really 707 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: up there, especially when you've got somebody the quality of 708 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: Kwame Kwami Kwame. You got somebody like Kwami Lassiter who 709 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: played the game the right way and went about his 710 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: business the right way. The locker room, especially in the 711 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: off season, is a very dangerous place public because there's 712 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that actually happens. Guys like to 713 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: prank each other, even when it's not April Fools, Paul. 714 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: Guys like to prank each other inside that locker room. 715 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why most every football team 716 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: I've ever been around, in terms of the NFL, they 717 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: never really started their off season program until after April Folds, 718 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: April sucond and on. That was great, but April one 719 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: not not very often. 720 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 5: All right, speaking of pulling a prank, having a good 721 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 5: time telling a joke, you can take the Cardinals radio 722 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 5: analyst out of the locker room. You can't necessarily take 723 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 5: the locker room out of the radio analyst. As we 724 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 5: flash back to twenty fifteen at Houston, Ron Wolfley and 725 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 5: Dave pash up in the booth when Dave falls for 726 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 5: Wolfe's little bit, Well. 727 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 3: If I'm looking everywhere, I don't see the woman riding 728 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 3: the bike with the basket. 729 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: Or are you looking well right down here? 730 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 5: What is she doing? 731 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: Witching hours going? She's riding a bike, David. Where's a 732 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: dog in the basket? 733 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 3: Oh, a dog in the basket. No, I'm looking everywhere. 734 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz? Dave? 735 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,839 Speaker 3: You're joking? Oh, I thought maybe you're serious. We see 736 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 3: we're things on the sideline these days. They're cracking yourself 737 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 3: up over there because you got me. I didn't know 738 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 3: what you're talking. I had no idea what you're talking. 739 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 3: I thought you were serious, David. 740 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 1: Out how hard he's such a play by play guy, Paulie. 741 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 5: I mean, hook line and sinker. He fell for your 742 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 5: He took your Wizard of Oz analogy, literally, he really did. 743 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 5: I forgot about that. 744 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: Yes, because we all know the Witching Hour, of course, 745 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: happens in the preseason, in that fourth quarter when those 746 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: guys out on the field who are not gonna be there, 747 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 1: and it's just after the weird stuff seems to happen 748 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: out on the field, the witching hour. And that's why 749 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: I was saying, Man, do you see this, David, there's 750 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: a woman riding a bike? I thought for sure, I mean, 751 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: is there anything more iconic than a woman riding a 752 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,959 Speaker 1: bike with a dog in the front basket? I say not, Paul, 753 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: but David was not having it. 754 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 5: I'm laughing, but then everyone was laughing at me. Not 755 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 5: too long ago, Cardinals were at Cleveland. I was wrapping 756 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 5: up the pregame show and you guys were hot on 757 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 5: my heels looking to get into the booth. So I'm 758 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 5: looking to wrap it up. I got my keyster blowing 759 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 5: in the wind, the red light's on, and all of 760 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 5: a sudden, the music's counting down. I got a matter seconds. 761 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 5: I'm trying to rip through the names on the page 762 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 5: that have been listed for me, and like Ron Burgundy, 763 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 5: I just read it straight off the prompter. Special thanks 764 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 5: as always, jim Ellehunter, Waldellis, Stacy Knox, Cody Fincher, Mitch 765 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 5: Barreldis also Lou Brown, Pedro Serrano for or Rob bredersentator 766 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 5: Stan Up, Paul Calves, you passionate Wolf our next, it's 767 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 5: no way that I just started reading characters from the 768 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 5: movie Major League that Omo had planted into the stinking page. 769 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 5: He put them right on the page. I read it 770 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 5: straight off the prompter once again, like Ron Burgundy, I'm 771 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 5: so ashamed. 772 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,479 Speaker 1: Every one of us have done that. At some point. 773 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 5: He got me, he got me, well done, he got 774 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 5: me Wolf. Are you getting anything you wanted out of 775 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 5: these rules changes? As to make a hard segue away 776 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 5: from yours truly being humiliated in live radio? We had 777 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 5: a couple of rules changes, nothing epic or revolutionary. We 778 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 5: talked about a few of them earlier. But I know 779 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 5: maybe you were a little ben. I didn't get to 780 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 5: the kickoff rule changes. So are you saying you like 781 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 5: where the kickoff is trending? Or you want to intervene 782 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 5: and give your own opinion here? 783 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: Yeah? You know for me, Paully. Once again, they're trying 784 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: to modify the alignment on the kickoff as well. Instead 785 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 1: of having six guys having their foot on that first 786 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: setup zone, instead of having six, now you can have 787 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,720 Speaker 1: five once again. I hope what they're doing is they're 788 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: trying to actually give it more variance, make it a 789 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: little bit more difficult, and you can do more things. 790 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: You don't have to be so rigid lining up And 791 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: speaking of not having to be so rigid, they're also 792 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: talking about you can line up and you can declare 793 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: you want to make an on side kick at any 794 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: point during the game, no longer in the fourth quarter. 795 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: Love it, and you know exactly, Paully to me again, 796 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: you know, get back to it being a little bit more, 797 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: a little bit more real, so to speak, you know, 798 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: something that is alive, something that we can actually manipulate 799 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: here instead of being so rigid once again. And I 800 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: also like it too because, honestly, Paul, it tells me 801 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: they're not happy with the kickoff. They're not happy with it, 802 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: and to me, hopefully it's a precursor to one day saying, 803 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: you know what, I think we overreacted. We're actually gonna 804 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 1: go back now. We're gonna have some rule changes. We're 805 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: never gonna have four guys standing, We're never gonna have 806 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: two guys standing in front of the kick return guy. 807 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: We're never gonna have that. And the reason being is 808 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: because it is a bonafide safety hazard. Yet at the 809 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: same time, I hope they just get back to the 810 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: kickoff because I think the kickoff is really missing and 811 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 1: hurting in the game of football. That's just my opinion. 812 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 5: Speaking of being preemptive proactive, if you will, reports say 813 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 5: the NFL is moving forward with plans to begin hiring 814 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 5: and training replacement officials replacement refs. They also passed a 815 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 5: rule change on Tuesday that will allowed the replay Center 816 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 5: in New York to correct clear and obvious mistakes. So 817 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 5: do you think this is one big step in the 818 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 5: direction of Big brother intervening? Maybe permanently. It's a one 819 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 5: year change, but I could see this sticking around. 820 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, once again, I do wonder how much 821 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: of that has got to do with the work stoppage 822 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: for the referees. I do wonder about that, Paul. We'll 823 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: have to see how that all plays out. Yet, for 824 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: the first time, I call it the jigu in the 825 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: eye roll, Paul. Okay, a cheap shot rule, I say, 826 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: the first time ever, the NFL will allow flags to 827 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: be placed on the field for calls missed by on 828 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: field officials. Okay, the calls are only for flagrant and 829 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: non football acts that can lead to disqualifications. So you 830 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 1: know what that tells me, Paully, there's gonna be people 831 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: the big eye in the sky looking for things like 832 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: that after place have yeah, getting up from a pile, 833 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: Paul now, and maybe I jig you in the eye, 834 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be they're gonna be looking for cheap shots, Paul. 835 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 5: Some are calling it the DK Metcalf rule because of 836 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 5: his incident with a fan in Detroit where he went 837 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 5: over to the rail and they could have had the 838 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 5: ability to intervene in that sort of instance. By the way, 839 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 5: NFC West Update Desk this week, Seattle will be on 840 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 5: Hard Knocks. Seahawks training camp on hard knocks first time 841 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 5: in team history. I think it's a great setting to 842 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 5: have a Sam Darnold contract holed out right there on 843 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 5: hard Knocks in August. I think that'd be really good. 844 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 5: I can't wait to see that personally. And then Kyle 845 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 5: Shanahan man he went off this week, said not exactly 846 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 5: happy about the Niners haven't open in Australia and that 847 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 5: he quote knows for a fact the Rams requested the 848 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,720 Speaker 5: forty nine ers as their opponent because Niner fans always 849 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 5: invade so far, and the Rams wanted to avoid that. 850 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 5: Sort of a home game for the forty nine ers. 851 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: Very interesting. 852 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 5: Jim Yep, all right, Special Banks as always, Jim Amahondro, 853 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 5: Cody Fincher, Max Brown noticed I didn't read Pedro Serrano, 854 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 5: Lou Brown or wild Thing Bond bron WOLFILM, Paul KELBC. 855 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 5: It's the Big Red Rage presented by Emergency Air. 856 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:23,320 Speaker 2: Suh, You've been listening to the Big Red Rage presented 857 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 2: by Emergency Air.
