Speaker 1: When it catch Flurry Luncheon does it again. The Rage
Speaker 1: is brought to you by satan Ford in Gilbert. Are
Speaker 1: you Satanford State Farm? Talk to an agent today at
Speaker 1: eight hundred State Farm and buy Arizona Cardinals podcasts, Visit
Speaker 1: acy Cardinals dot Com, Slash Podcasts, The Rods Rising Guard,
Speaker 1: Temperaturizing Vision, Flurry Rage taking it over. Here's Paul KELVC.
Speaker 1: Get the popcorn ready. It's gonna be a show, and
Speaker 1: Ron will flee. It doesn't get any better than that.
Speaker 1: Horsh unleash the fiar. You know, Wolf, if you really
Speaker 1: think about it, it's truly amazing that here we are
Speaker 1: eleven days or so after the Super Bowl, otherwise known
Speaker 1: as the dead zone on the NFL calendar, especially without
Speaker 1: a combine. Right, yeah, Paul, it is a little rough,
Speaker 1: but Wolf, earlier today did we not have a touchdown?
Speaker 1: A touchdown with clapping and cheering and a standing ovation
Speaker 1: as Mars rover perseverance makes a successful landing on the
Speaker 1: Red planet. I mean, is there a better intro here
Speaker 1: for the Big Red Rage brought to you by santan
Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert than to have perseverance? And I believe
Speaker 1: the exact words or mission control were touchdown confirmed. So
Speaker 1: you know you're all over this thing right now, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, let me tell you this has potential for
Speaker 1: you and Dave Pash does not. I mean, as if
Speaker 1: I have to do everything around here already, you guys,
Speaker 1: this is your new touchdown call. It's now Dave Pash
Speaker 1: can yell out touchdown confirmed? Yes? Okay, you know what, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we want Pash being involved in
Speaker 1: what's going on on Mars at all. You know, the
Speaker 1: Pash factor is real, BALI I don't know if we
Speaker 1: really want to go down that road. Well, he deals
Speaker 1: with Mars pretty much every college basketball broadcasting leans with
Speaker 1: Bill Walton, So you know it's the craziness there. Dave
Speaker 1: gets out on a regular basis. But seriously, I mean,
Speaker 1: how about that, how about this saying on the wall
Speaker 1: in Michian Control. Did you see what the saying in
Speaker 1: Big Block letters. They have it up there all. No,
Speaker 1: I did not. I'm sorry I miss this. You know
Speaker 1: what the nap does to me, Paul. Okay, these are
Speaker 1: words to live by, as the motto on the wall says,
Speaker 1: Dare mighty things. Okay, I like it. Dare mighty things, Bobby,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, why not adopt that? Why not
Speaker 1: adopt that as a marketing model twenty twenty one for
Speaker 1: your Arizona Cardinals, ron Wolf. You know what, there, mighty things.
Speaker 1: I love it, Ball, I love where you're going on
Speaker 1: this thing right here, dare mighty things. The mighty Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: Of course, first of all, that that plays into it.
Speaker 1: I like that. Has he trademarked that? By the way,
Speaker 1: has he done that? Polly? Do you know if he's
Speaker 1: trademarked that yet? At the mighty Kyler Murray right there?
Speaker 1: I think Pash might have gotten an invoice. You better ask. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: dare mighty things? Is that what you just said? Polly?
Speaker 1: Right there? They're mighty things. That's what I said every
Speaker 1: time I covered a kickoff, Paul. That's exactly see dare
Speaker 1: mighty things. Because look, everybody, it's a three hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five pound man standing in a wedge. So you actually,
Speaker 1: I mean wolf for the first time ever, you have
Speaker 1: something in common with those Pocket protect Or geniuses over
Speaker 1: at Caltech in Pasadena. You know, the whole dare Mighty things.
Speaker 1: You guys live by the same motto. Apparently you know,
Speaker 1: these are the guys getting the perfect score. And so, Paul,
Speaker 1: you're saying, they're sticking the landing in Mars and I
Speaker 1: was sticking the sternum with my face mask. Is that
Speaker 1: what you're saying? Well, not exact. Actually, I guess what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is while they're looking for signs of life
Speaker 1: on Mars as we speak right now, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, how tough can it be to find find
Speaker 1: a couple of corners, find an edge rusher? You know,
Speaker 1: can you find some interior alignment? You know, a number
Speaker 1: two wide receiver? Okay, this is our mission here in
Speaker 1: the offseason. If you're part of this Arizona Cardinals project
Speaker 1: that I don't know about you, Polly, but I think
Speaker 1: this first beautiful part of the program right here is
Speaker 1: off the RELs because for me, there it is they're
Speaker 1: trying to find life on Mars, and I was trying
Speaker 1: to damage life as severely as I possibly. No. Let
Speaker 1: the record reflect that. Jim On Mohndro play the music
Speaker 1: on you while you were talking, not me. Okay, what
Speaker 1: I've just brought was captivating you, Polly. I mean it was.
Speaker 1: It certainly was poignant. It was relevant as well. It
Speaker 1: just hadn't seen any of it. Okay, Well, things we'll
Speaker 1: get substantive and we'll get extreme real when we bring
Speaker 1: on Kyle Otigard. Momentarily, we're going to get into what
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell told you and Doug today. Oh, let me
Speaker 1: get this straight. You guys had two interview segments earlier today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, Paulie. We did, actually had two. A lot
Speaker 1: of topics discussed with the owner of the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell. There you go, the direction of the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals hanging in the balance. That's next in the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage. The clock hits triple zeros. The Arizona Cardinal
Speaker 1: season is over. They lose the play in game eighteen
Speaker 1: to seven of the Rams. The Cardinal season is over.
Speaker 1: You know, it's execution, I think inconsistency and you know,
Speaker 1: especially around penalties, the attention to detail and penalties really
Speaker 1: hurt us, and I think we've got to eliminate those penalties,
Speaker 1: especially the senseless ones, and get back to great football.
Speaker 1: And that's all within our control. Yeah, when you lead
Speaker 1: the end up ellen penalties, guess what, that's not a surprise.
Speaker 1: When the owner of Michael Bidwell went asked during the
Speaker 1: Dug and Wolf Show today ninety eight seven FM Arizona Sports,
Speaker 1: where do you want to see improvement this coming season?
Speaker 1: That you would start with something that is most definitely
Speaker 1: within your control, and that's the flax, the penalties that
Speaker 1: were so costly all season long. It is the Big
Speaker 1: Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are
Speaker 1: santan Ford, Paul kelvc Ron, Wolfley and Wolf. That was
Speaker 1: just one of many answers. We'll get into a lot
Speaker 1: of different aspects, will name names. We'll talk about the cap.
Speaker 1: Kyle ort A guard is right around the corner. But
Speaker 1: in terms of where he is setting the bar and
Speaker 1: his expectations for the upcoming season, he was pretty straightforward
Speaker 1: and he wants to go where he thought the team
Speaker 1: was going this year, and that's the postseason. Yeah, POLLI, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we all actually thought that this roster going
Speaker 1: into the season was playoff worthy, and I give Steve
Speaker 1: Kyman his staff an awful lot of credit for that,
Speaker 1: because I do believe this team should have gone to
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. That was my expectation. And then
Speaker 1: when you've got two weeks, the final two weeks of
Speaker 1: the season, you just got to win basically one of
Speaker 1: those games right there. To me, when you're taking on
Speaker 1: a third string quarterback and a quarterback in the last
Speaker 1: game of the season that had not thrown a pass
Speaker 1: on the National Football League, that to me, Man, those
Speaker 1: are red light games. You've got to win those games, Pauli.
Speaker 1: And the fact that they lost to both of those
Speaker 1: games such a massive disappointment on the season. But I
Speaker 1: do believe the talent is there to be a playoff team.
Speaker 1: They were a playoff team the first half of the season.
Speaker 1: It was almost two seasons and one. It was the
Speaker 1: six and three start with the high flying offense, and
Speaker 1: then it was the two and five finish where there
Speaker 1: were so many costly errors. There was at times a
Speaker 1: lack of urgency and intensity. And that's not us, that's
Speaker 1: the head coach, even that's Kyler Murray. Here in the
Speaker 1: off season, saying you didn't know which team you would
Speaker 1: get week to week, and then the team you got
Speaker 1: in week sixteen, to your point, looked more like a
Speaker 1: preseason game. And against the Niners, going against the third
Speaker 1: string quarterback at third string running back that nearly ran
Speaker 1: for almost two hundred yards in that game. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and then of course we know how it all finished.
Speaker 1: So you know you saw it over the first half
Speaker 1: of the year. The big question, at least to me,
Speaker 1: is why didn't you see it in the second half
Speaker 1: of the year And how do you diagnose that exactly?
Speaker 1: You know what, Paul, I don't know. I think that
Speaker 1: is a question that these professional coaches are sitting around
Speaker 1: the big rectangle talking about. Right now, how are we
Speaker 1: going to fix the problem? What was the problem? You
Speaker 1: have to be able to identify that problem first before
Speaker 1: you can actually fix it. And for me, Polly, honestly,
Speaker 1: this is just me. This is my observation, period. This
Speaker 1: is a team's got to get more physical. And the
Speaker 1: way you get more physical as you bring in more dogs. Period.
Speaker 1: We were talking to herm Edwards as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: right from ASU we were talking to him and he
Speaker 1: was talking about the fact that you need those guys
Speaker 1: to come in and set the tone for everybody else.
Speaker 1: You need three or four guys on the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball, three or four guys on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball that bring that intensity and that
Speaker 1: expectation and the accountability that you're gonna go out there
Speaker 1: and you're gonna smash somebody, You're gonna bash him, You're
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and you're going to be more
Speaker 1: physical players, keep players accountable. Never ever forget that you
Speaker 1: can have a coach PAULI up there. First of all,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick never talked about being physical, never
Speaker 1: talked about being physical at all, never said never. Paul
Speaker 1: never said that. You know why, he didn't have to,
Speaker 1: and he knew he didn't have to because he was
Speaker 1: bringing in players that he knew were physical. This is
Speaker 1: just me, it's my belief. I think the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: have all the talent you could possibly need. They've got
Speaker 1: the guys, they've got the talent to be a playoff team.
Speaker 1: Now they need some dogs. Now they need some guys
Speaker 1: that are going to be really physical on the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. It's just my opinion. Paul Well look at
Speaker 1: the last game we saw in the NFL, the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Would you say Tampa despite having all the name recognition
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady's and Gronk had a couple of touchdown catches,
Speaker 1: and even Antonio Brown for all the star power though
Speaker 1: was out there, would you say the key to that
Speaker 1: game was that Tampa was more physical on both sides
Speaker 1: of the line. There's no doubt about it. Bully, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, we'd all agree on that right there? Are they?
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs, to me, did not take advantage
Speaker 1: of the fact that they had two edge rushers out
Speaker 1: there and Shack Barrett of course and Jason Pierre Paul
Speaker 1: that really were just up the field rushers for the
Speaker 1: most part, and they had two tackles that were backup
Speaker 1: tackles starting in the Super Bowl. To me, light up
Speaker 1: and hammer the ball, run the ball, and when the
Speaker 1: Chiefs did, they had success. Clyde Edwards Hilaire averaged over
Speaker 1: six yards per carry. He had success running the ball,
Speaker 1: and I thought that was just a massive mistake. We've
Speaker 1: talked about that as well, but there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers one Super Bowl fifty five because
Speaker 1: they won the line of scrimmage. Well. When Michael Bidwall
Speaker 1: was asked her in the Dug and Wall Show Today
Speaker 1: if it's playoffs or bust for the other two decision
Speaker 1: makers in that trio, Clip Kingsbury and Steve Kim, he
Speaker 1: said it was about improvement, was the word he used repeatedly.
Speaker 1: Didn't actually want to make a playoff proclamation, but out
Speaker 1: of improvement, Yes, obviously that is the next step for
Speaker 1: this team is the postseason? How do you get there?
Speaker 1: We'll cover that next. Kyle Odergard, Cardinals Insider. Next on
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage presented by satan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: we are satan Ford Alan backed to throw looking for digs.
Speaker 1: It's that steps up throws deep. Vindle picked off Peterson
Speaker 1: got that one. He's in his forty yard line thrumming
Speaker 1: far side of the forty five and down there. Had
Speaker 1: he got Allen that time. He's gonna be a offseason
Speaker 1: upstairs management and is going to be It's going to
Speaker 1: come down to guys make some tough decisions. So you
Speaker 1: got a lot of key guys that's that's going to
Speaker 1: be free agents, but you also got teams that's not
Speaker 1: going to be able to spend the money like they have.
Speaker 1: It's twenty eight future free agents for the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: at least going into the offseason. That's Patrick Peterson. You're
Speaker 1: the interception against Buffalo one of three this season. But
Speaker 1: you also heard him talking about the reality that both
Speaker 1: sides are facing Ron Wolfley. It is the big Red
Speaker 1: Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are santan Ford.
Speaker 1: Think about a total attendance last year, because of the
Speaker 1: pandemic total attendance throughout the league the entire season one
Speaker 1: point two million. Do you know what attendance was in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen during a normal season, seventeen million? Okay, so
Speaker 1: from seventeen million fans being able to attend total figure
Speaker 1: to one point two million. In other words, guess what,
Speaker 1: there was a massive revenue hit and that's going to
Speaker 1: be reflected in the salary cap figure. And we got
Speaker 1: news on that today. And because our hashtag Ron Wolfley
Speaker 1: is no math around here, at least yours truly, we
Speaker 1: bring on Kyle outor guard because when it comes in
Speaker 1: of the numbers, we bring in Kyle Cardinals insider. We
Speaker 1: say good evening to Kyle and we ask him to
Speaker 1: break it down and Kyle, what was the headline today
Speaker 1: when it comes to this salary cap. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you're right. I'm always ready to talk some math. The
Speaker 1: salary floor is moving up to one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: million dollars, and before the bottom it could have been
Speaker 1: was one seventy five, so we know that it will
Speaker 1: be at least one eighty. Michael Bidwell talked the Arizona
Speaker 1: Sports and said he doesn't think it's going to go
Speaker 1: much higher than that. So my guests, my best guests
Speaker 1: would maybe be one eighty to one eighty five somewhere
Speaker 1: and there. But either way, it's a lot lower than
Speaker 1: projected before COVID came because we were talking about maybe
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten million dollars cap. So, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five million dollars difference, that's a pretty big deal. Kyle.
Speaker 1: That is a big deal. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: What do you think it's gonna do just big picture overall,
Speaker 1: heading into free agency, what do you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: do to free agents in the free agent period? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the way we looked at it with the superstars
Speaker 1: during the season, they still got their big money deals.
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey a Buddha baker. These guys still got paid.
Speaker 1: So I think your elite Pro Bowl players are still
Speaker 1: gonna get a nice contract. But those second tier guys,
Speaker 1: I'm worried that the free agency is gonna be a
Speaker 1: big bust for them because teams just can't pay that
Speaker 1: eight to twelve million dollar range. I think those guys
Speaker 1: are gonna get hurt hardest. Where you're a solid veteran
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you've proven your worth, you think you
Speaker 1: should get a solid deal because you're a starter. But
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's gonna be enough money going
Speaker 1: around to pay a lot of those guys. So I
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be that first wave of free agency
Speaker 1: that we see every year, and every other year has
Speaker 1: come the second and third wave. We might not get
Speaker 1: that for a while. It might be, you know, a
Speaker 1: week until these guys realize, hey, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get the deal I want. And maybe there's a lot
Speaker 1: of one year deals guys saying all right, I'll bite
Speaker 1: the bullet this season and then hopefully I can cash
Speaker 1: in next year. Speaking of if you go to AC
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot com, you can see a little bit of
Speaker 1: a breakdown and what Chase Edmonds tweeted out this week
Speaker 1: Cardinals running back, and I'll just quote loosely. He said,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of really good players taking
Speaker 1: one year rentals. Free agency is gonna be wild, and
Speaker 1: he threw out the term super teams in the NFL
Speaker 1: and NBA type development that we've seen over recent years. Kyle,
Speaker 1: is that realistic? And because guys might be looking to
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and beyond a really cash in, how
Speaker 1: much more apt are they to take that one year
Speaker 1: rental as Chase Edmonds calls it. Yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: one year deal is going to be a big part
Speaker 1: of it. And you look at a guy like JJ
Speaker 1: Watt who's made a ton of money and maybe he
Speaker 1: goes somewhere and that's where the super team idea comes
Speaker 1: into play. But I personally feel like for the vast
Speaker 1: majority of free agents, they're just gonna take the best
Speaker 1: contract that's on the table. NBA is a little bit different,
Speaker 1: where these guys have the guaranteed money, these long term contracts,
Speaker 1: they can kind of pick and choose and team up together.
Speaker 1: But in the NFL, as you guys know, you can't
Speaker 1: just have three guys and all of a sudden have
Speaker 1: a contender. You need a full team, and I think
Speaker 1: without a lot of guaranteed salaries with lower money this year,
Speaker 1: I feel like these guys are going to find the
Speaker 1: best deal that they can and then grab that, no
Speaker 1: matter if it's on a team that just won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or made the Super Bowl, or it's a
Speaker 1: team that's rebuilding. So, Kyle, it doesn't sound like you
Speaker 1: believe there's gonna be a bottleneck at the end of
Speaker 1: free agency, that there's a bunch of people, a bunch
Speaker 1: of guys players that are holding out to the very
Speaker 1: end hoping to get oh, I don't know, an extra
Speaker 1: million thrown in at the end. You don't think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a bottleneck. You think pe players are going
Speaker 1: to go ahead and grab the best offer immediately and
Speaker 1: go with it. I think we'll, like we heard from
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, come into the segment, the players realize what's
Speaker 1: going on, They know that the salary cap is lower,
Speaker 1: all the teams don't have as much money as they
Speaker 1: did in past season. So I do feel like they're
Speaker 1: gonna shoot for the mood originally and everybody wants this
Speaker 1: lucrative contract, but I think reality will set in after
Speaker 1: that first wave and these guys are going to realize
Speaker 1: that the money is drying up quickly and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna have to take a deal because the longer you wait,
Speaker 1: that means other guys are signing and there's even less
Speaker 1: money in the coffers. So I do feel like guys
Speaker 1: will sign pretty early still in March and then April,
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's going to be as many
Speaker 1: waiting because they realize it might not be smart to
Speaker 1: wait this year. There just isn't enough money to go around. Well.
Speaker 1: The league Gears starts March seventeenth, and Michael Bidwell, team owner,
Speaker 1: was asked a ninety eight seven FM Arizona Sports This
Speaker 1: Morning by Doug and Wolfe about just negotiations and expectations.
Speaker 1: Here's Michael Bidwell. We've got to cram a lot more
Speaker 1: salary that salary cap, so it's going to be difficult,
Speaker 1: you know, I think for every team to manage all
Speaker 1: these things, and we hope our veteran players work with
Speaker 1: us on that because the salary cap for the first
Speaker 1: time ever will be going down and that brings us
Speaker 1: back to Patrick Peterson for example, right Wolf, So, I mean,
Speaker 1: here's a guy who's used to making eight figures. That
Speaker 1: doesn't seem realistic either because of this year, the point
Speaker 1: in his career, what's the market going to be? How
Speaker 1: longer guys willing to wait? I mean there's a lot
Speaker 1: of there's a lot hanging in the balance here in
Speaker 1: timing seems to be everything right now, Kyle, what do
Speaker 1: you think about what Paul just said in regard to
Speaker 1: Pat pe What do you think the odds are that
Speaker 1: he comes back as an Arizona Cardinal? Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's definitely kind of wait to see what happens. I
Speaker 1: don't have a great feeling either way. I mean, on
Speaker 1: the one hand, Patrick Peterson probably isn't the same perennial
Speaker 1: All Pro, Pro Bowl type player that he was in
Speaker 1: his prime. But on the other hand, if the car
Speaker 1: let him go, what are they doing with their number
Speaker 1: one cornerback spot? And that's a big question. And even
Speaker 1: though Patrick Peterson might not be completely elite anymore, he's
Speaker 1: still a solid cornerback and you need those guys on defense.
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of it comes down to
Speaker 1: what his expectation is, what the Cardinals are willing to pay.
Speaker 1: I think if they're in the same ballpark, it seems
Speaker 1: like both sides want to work it out. But Patrick
Speaker 1: Peterson might also feel like, Hey, I'm a free agent
Speaker 1: for the first time. I really want to see what's
Speaker 1: out there. And if he does that, the Cardinals can't
Speaker 1: just wait around and see what happens. They need to
Speaker 1: make some moves too, because they don't have their number
Speaker 1: one cornerback and Drake Kirkpatrick as a free agent two
Speaker 1: their number two cornerbacks, so they're gonna have to be
Speaker 1: decisive as well in making decisions. So I think Patrick
Speaker 1: Peterson is definitely the most intriguing free agent among the
Speaker 1: Cardinals to me, because I really have no idea what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. And Wolf didn't Michael Bedwolves say that
Speaker 1: they've had a quote number of conversations. Yeah, so what
Speaker 1: does that tell you? Doesn't that tell you? I mean,
Speaker 1: we know pat P wants to stay. He said as
Speaker 1: much after the season. It seems like the feeling is
Speaker 1: mutual if they can agree on a number, Yeah, exactly, Paul.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the market is going to be
Speaker 1: like for Pat P. I really don't know what that's
Speaker 1: gonna look like. In because of that, I have no
Speaker 1: idea what somebody might offer. My natural inclination is to say,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a team that's gonna come in hard
Speaker 1: on pat p of course, and they're gonna make an
Speaker 1: offer because they know this guy's still an above average
Speaker 1: corner and maybe he's gonna rebound like many corners have
Speaker 1: into their mid thirties. Maybe he's gonna rebound, So maybe
Speaker 1: you're gonna go ahead and give him a bigger deal.
Speaker 1: Not a huge deal, but a bigger deal. And that
Speaker 1: at the same time, as soon as I say that, Paul,
Speaker 1: I just don't expect that to be the case. I
Speaker 1: still you know what that scenario, to me plays out
Speaker 1: is more likely to play out with a son Reddick.
Speaker 1: I fear that with a son Reddick at twenty six
Speaker 1: years of age, someone coming in with Olivier Vernon money.
Speaker 1: And there are a few teams, Kyle, I mean, for
Speaker 1: example today's trade, right, I mean, Philly's going to absorb
Speaker 1: thirty nine million and dead money on their camp this
Speaker 1: year because they have enough room under their cap. Indy
Speaker 1: had enough room under their cap to take Carson Wentz's contract,
Speaker 1: which kicks in effective this season four years one, twenty eight.
Speaker 1: So there are teams with cap room that will target
Speaker 1: a few premier free agents. Yeah, there's definitely a handful
Speaker 1: of teams that do have a lot of cap room
Speaker 1: because you can roll it over in the NFL, and
Speaker 1: some teams have been below that spreshold for a couple
Speaker 1: of seasons, so even though the cap came down there,
Speaker 1: they have comfortable amount of margin. Hassan Reddick is another
Speaker 1: interesting one because he had this great season, but he
Speaker 1: did it for one year at edge rusher, so is
Speaker 1: a team willing to pay him, you know, a top
Speaker 1: tier edge rusher money, which is very expensive because it's
Speaker 1: a premium position after only one year of showing he
Speaker 1: can do it. So to me, I thought Hassan Reddick
Speaker 1: played great. I think he does a nice job where
Speaker 1: he can drop into coverage really chase those mobile quarterbacks
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson. I like that he's able to chase
Speaker 1: those guys down, which I think is becoming more and
Speaker 1: more key for your edge rushers in the modern day NFL.
Speaker 1: So I think Hassan Reddick is a very important piece.
Speaker 1: The question is do our team's willing ready to pay
Speaker 1: him because he's only he only has that short track
Speaker 1: record and maybe that gives teams pause or maybe not.
Speaker 1: Like you said, Paul, he's twenty six, he's a double
Speaker 1: digit SAT guy. Hey, we're going to invest in somebody
Speaker 1: like that with such high upside. I really think fit
Speaker 1: is going to determine where these free agent guys are
Speaker 1: going to go the vast majority of free agents. State
Speaker 1: tax needs to be considered on this one. The city
Speaker 1: in which they play, right, the weather, the fan base,
Speaker 1: the school system, the coach, and the fit of his
Speaker 1: offense or defense. I think fit is going to be
Speaker 1: absolutely huge and a lot of these one year deals
Speaker 1: that are going to be signed and Wolf, you know,
Speaker 1: Michael Bigball. That is part of his pitch. He cites
Speaker 1: everything you just threw out there, including Arizona state tax structure, yes,
Speaker 1: which is much more enticing and favorable than most states
Speaker 1: around the country save Florida or Nevada something like that.
Speaker 1: So yes, that is most definitely part of the recruiting pitch.
Speaker 1: We'll continue with a big red rage Kyler Guard. We'll
Speaker 1: get into Larry his future and more. It is the
Speaker 1: big red rage presented by Santanford and Gilbert. We are
Speaker 1: Satanford staff to Murray and he's gonna keep it off
Speaker 1: the left side. He's at the ten half. The five
Speaker 1: Pie's in again. Tyler Murray into double figures, the rushing
Speaker 1: punch down town of the season, the Cardinals half the league.
Speaker 1: So more Murray magic that State Farm Stadium. He's got
Speaker 1: a fire in his value. We've all seen it, a
Speaker 1: competitive spirit where he wants to win and he wants
Speaker 1: to win now. And I love that. That's what I
Speaker 1: want and that's what I expect, and that's what he expects.
Speaker 1: Steve Owner Michael Bidwell this morning with wolf By ninety
Speaker 1: eight seven FM Arizona Sports, talking about Kyler Murray going
Speaker 1: into year three. Can he take that big step like oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Josh Allen did with the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: this year Baker Mayfield did with the Cleveland Browns, both
Speaker 1: leading their teams into the postseason. We know two words
Speaker 1: we all love to hear when it comes to your
Speaker 1: quarterback Pro Bowl. Maybe the only two words better when
Speaker 1: it comes to your starting quarterback rookie contract. And so
Speaker 1: that's the situation right now with Kyler Murray. It is
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert
Speaker 1: Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley Cardinals insider Kyle outer Guard and
Speaker 1: you know, Kyle, why don't you answer that question that
Speaker 1: was put by Doug and Wolf this morning to Michael Bidwell,
Speaker 1: what is the next step in your mind for Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray in year three? Yeah, I think that he's gonna
Speaker 1: show a natural progression quarterbacks usually due from their first
Speaker 1: season to their second to their third. And my big
Speaker 1: question is can he take that truly big jump where
Speaker 1: he becomes an elite quarterback because I think he was
Speaker 1: close in twenty twenty and there were certainly games where
Speaker 1: he looked like a superstar, but it apped and flowed.
Speaker 1: He wasn't super consistent all the way through the year.
Speaker 1: So I do think if he reaches it. To me,
Speaker 1: it's the passing game where they get that intermediate efficiency going.
Speaker 1: I think he's got the deep ball. I think he's
Speaker 1: a really accurate guy with good arm strength. But reading
Speaker 1: the field and just knowing exactly where to go with
Speaker 1: the football in rhythm, to me is the most important thing.
Speaker 1: I think if he gets there, like watch out for him,
Speaker 1: because we know what he can do with his legs.
Speaker 1: We know all the talent if it all comes together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're talking about the salary cap and bringing in free
Speaker 1: agents and all that, but if you have a superstar quarterback,
Speaker 1: your team is going to be a winner. I mean,
Speaker 1: you need the supporting cast, but those guys are so
Speaker 1: valuable that if he gets there, the Cardinals are going
Speaker 1: to be really good next season Kyle hopefully, And this
Speaker 1: is something that I hope. Of course, he doesn't have
Speaker 1: to run the ball for him to be successful. And
Speaker 1: when I say that, I'm talking about you don't have
Speaker 1: to have called runs for the Arizona Cardinals offense to
Speaker 1: be successful, called Kyler Murray run, so to speak. Here,
Speaker 1: what's your take on that? I mean, I get it,
Speaker 1: but I feel like for this offense to really go
Speaker 1: at full tilt, I think that has to be a
Speaker 1: part of it. And I feel like when the Cardinals
Speaker 1: were at their best the last two seasons, that threat
Speaker 1: was there and sometimes it was eighty yards and two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Other games maybe it was only thirty five, but teams
Speaker 1: had to watch for it. So I do feel like
Speaker 1: they're built like the Ravens, where Kyler Murray can run it,
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds or whoever else is going to be in
Speaker 1: the backfield can run it and then they can throw.
Speaker 1: But I think his mobility is so special that to me,
Speaker 1: I like seeing it. And I get what you're saying
Speaker 1: because you don't want him to take hits and you
Speaker 1: don't want him to wear down. You want to have
Speaker 1: a nice, long career. But I feel like he's so
Speaker 1: dynamic on the ground that I would still make it
Speaker 1: a big part of the office. You know, it's interesting, Kyle,
Speaker 1: because so much of the time as well, when you
Speaker 1: run that zone or you run an RPO, the defense
Speaker 1: suddenly can dictate to the offense what you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: You can, hey, listen, if you want Kyler Murray, just
Speaker 1: by way of example, if you want Kyler Murray running
Speaker 1: the ball because you want to take shots at him,
Speaker 1: you know how to make that happen. On those zone reads.
Speaker 1: Just go ahead and collapse the end man on the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. He's gonna run the ball. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to make a tackle on Kyler Murray. So,
Speaker 1: to me, I don't like the fact that we're typically historically,
Speaker 1: traditionally you've got the offense dictating to the defense what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. Because you have the initiative when you
Speaker 1: start running a lot of RPOs and zone reads. Now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the defense can dictate to the
Speaker 1: offense what it is that you're going to do with
Speaker 1: the football, and that, to me, I think is something
Speaker 1: that may have made them a little bit more predictable
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. That's just my thought
Speaker 1: on that. Hey, that's a great point, and I think
Speaker 1: it plays into what we heard a lot of the
Speaker 1: last month and half of the season was adjust to
Speaker 1: the adjustment. The Cardinals offense needs to adapt to what
Speaker 1: defenses we're doing. Sam Acho cited it a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, remember Wolf right here on this show, and
Speaker 1: he said what Seattle started doing and what the Belichick
Speaker 1: disciples and Bill Belichick himself did against Kyler Murray was
Speaker 1: problematic and in his opinion, watching a lot of the
Speaker 1: Cardinals games this year, former edge guy sam Acho said
Speaker 1: that he believes the big step next step for Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray is to grow in reading defenses and he's got
Speaker 1: to run the ball. There's no doubt about a guy.
Speaker 1: He does have to run the ball because he's just
Speaker 1: too good at it is. He's just too good to
Speaker 1: take that away. I'm not saying take that away. I
Speaker 1: just think they've got to come up with different ways
Speaker 1: to make their offense a little bit less predictable. Or
Speaker 1: as Rob Frederickson said last week, Kyle and we've talked
Speaker 1: about this, maybe Kyler Murray under center a little bit more,
Speaker 1: some of the bootlegs, the play action, it opens up
Speaker 1: the downhill running game with it, Kenyan Drake or whomever.
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe it's just an adjustment like that to
Speaker 1: this offense. Yeah, I agree with you, guys, And well,
Speaker 1: that's a great point. I think that the zone reads
Speaker 1: certainly lost its luster about halfway through the season, and
Speaker 1: they do have to figure out a way to either
Speaker 1: get that going again or to adjust and use other things.
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens run game is very varied and
Speaker 1: they do a lot of different things. Some of its
Speaker 1: zone read, but there's plenty of other things that they
Speaker 1: don't use the zone reads. So I think you do
Speaker 1: want to have a bread and butter, but to be
Speaker 1: able to adjust if teams are playing you a certain way.
Speaker 1: Like Paul said once, Bill Belichick and his Disciples did
Speaker 1: it a certain way. The Cardinals run game wasn't as effective,
Speaker 1: so they should have a good running game. When you
Speaker 1: have Kyler Murray with the ball and taking away a
Speaker 1: defender every single time just because of the way it
Speaker 1: counts in the box, you should be able to run
Speaker 1: the ball naturally with your running back. So I think
Speaker 1: they need to get that going again and then hope
Speaker 1: that the passing game also takes other step well. This morning,
Speaker 1: Wolf on ninety eight seven FM arazon A Sports You
Speaker 1: asked the owner Michael Bidwell, what he wants to see
Speaker 1: from Kyler in two twenty one. I want to see
Speaker 1: the next jump. I think we all want to see
Speaker 1: the next jump. He made a big step forward between
Speaker 1: his working year and his second year. You know, we
Speaker 1: really want to see that next level, and hopefully that's
Speaker 1: going to come in the off season if we're able
Speaker 1: to get together and really see that the development in
Speaker 1: the connection with his receiver group and doing some of
Speaker 1: the work that they hopefully will be doing on the
Speaker 1: field at the training facility with a more normalized OTA
Speaker 1: and offseason later in the spring when when the vaccinations
Speaker 1: are out more broadly, how much of his improvement guys.
Speaker 1: Do you think is dependent on the players around him,
Speaker 1: finding that reliable, dynamic number two receiver for defying the
Speaker 1: offensive line. We know Kylie already tweeted in favor of
Speaker 1: going with offensive line in the first round in the draft,
Speaker 1: So maybe a little glimpse into what Kyler's thinking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think from a personal standpoint, it can
Speaker 1: be upgraded, and I think it will be upgraded. I
Speaker 1: feel like years three of Kyler Murray. Like you said earlier, Paul,
Speaker 1: he's on his rookie contract. You want to take advantage
Speaker 1: of it right now. And you already went and got
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. But there wasn't that consistent number two wide
Speaker 1: receiver last season, and I think that was a big
Speaker 1: miss or they didn't have that guy to go to.
Speaker 1: I thought it might be Christian Kirk, but it didn't
Speaker 1: quite happen, especially down the stretch. So do you feel
Speaker 1: like that on your roster or do you need to
Speaker 1: find somebody? And I would not be surprised if they
Speaker 1: added a number two wide receiver somehow, some way this offseason.
Speaker 1: I do think that's important. I think you want to
Speaker 1: surround him with as much talent as you possibly can
Speaker 1: these next two seasons and see if he can reach
Speaker 1: that level like a Josh Allen did, where you go
Speaker 1: from a good quarterback to one in the end. Kyle,
Speaker 1: are you there? Did we lose you? Kyle? Oh? Yeah, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: we got youa Kyle. What can you tell us in
Speaker 1: regard to Sean Jefferson. I'm very very interested. I know
Speaker 1: you're very very close to the team here. What are
Speaker 1: you hearing about Sean Jefferson, the new wide receiver coach
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals. Yeah, it was fun talking to him
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and I think he's important
Speaker 1: because you've got young guys like Christian Kirk and Andy
Speaker 1: Isabella and Keishawn Johnson, and if he can do a
Speaker 1: good job of bringing those guys along, I think that
Speaker 1: could mean something for this group where DeAndre Hopkins is
Speaker 1: your star, but I think you need those other guys
Speaker 1: to step up. And we'll see what he can do
Speaker 1: and how much he's able to be around them this
Speaker 1: off season. But if he can help those guys out,
Speaker 1: give them some little tricks of the trade, maybe they
Speaker 1: can't get that passing game to the next level. You know, well,
Speaker 1: me and you over what the last two decades. We
Speaker 1: agree on very little. I mean, me and you, we
Speaker 1: don't see eye Molly Sports or beyond. You know, Kyle
Speaker 1: Outergard is a close second. I mean this guy on
Speaker 1: Cardinals Underground podcast, we agree on nothing, and then you
Speaker 1: got Darren Herby and glowing some of my points out
Speaker 1: of the water with his fact checking. It's just it's brutal.
Speaker 1: It's a brutal kind of slug every single week on
Speaker 1: the podcast. And we disagreed on Seaun Jefferson the following
Speaker 1: what's most important? Why was he hired? And Kylee with
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella? Okay, but you know what, I think it's
Speaker 1: just as every bit as much as Christian Kirk because
Speaker 1: he's going into a contract year and you got to
Speaker 1: figure out is he a number two receiver or not?
Speaker 1: And if he isn't a number two receiver, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna pay him to be a number three receiver. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great point, it really is. But honestly, does
Speaker 1: it always have to be in either or? Guys? Doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be an either or can it not be both?
Speaker 1: You know? For me, I think you could build a case.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. Christian Kirk and his disappearance
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. That is a mystery, Kyle,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that right there? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly why it went from so good
Speaker 1: that stretch of games and then you know, really fell
Speaker 1: off pretty badly. And I'm not sure exactly why. I
Speaker 1: think the passing game wasn't great overall down the stretch.
Speaker 1: But I'm wondering if Christian Kirk, at his height and
Speaker 1: not being that super elite speed guy, if he does
Speaker 1: make more sense in the slot, if you can get
Speaker 1: him in there. And obviously that depends on Larry Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: and what he decides to do. But I'm intrigued if
Speaker 1: they can put Christian Kirk in the slot what he
Speaker 1: can do, because I think his skill set might fit
Speaker 1: better there. He did it in college. And we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens in twenty twenty one if it's even an opportunity.
Speaker 1: But if he gets into the slot, I think Christian
Speaker 1: Kirk might be able to blossom. All right. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: Kyle didn't give us a hot take like Dan Roloski
Speaker 1: today on ESPN. You guys here, Dan Roloski earlier today
Speaker 1: on the Carson Wentz trade to Indy. He said that
Speaker 1: now that he's reunited with Frank Reich and he's on
Speaker 1: the Colts, he's firmly back in the MVP consideration. He'll
Speaker 1: be a factor in the MVP right soon to which
Speaker 1: everybody pretty much lost their mind, both in studio and
Speaker 1: on the internet. So you know, Kyle, get ready, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have a hot take for you on Cardinals Underground
Speaker 1: next week because I know you're dying to blow anything
Speaker 1: and everything I say out of the water. Now I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to pump up my game next time and
Speaker 1: come up with the fire. That's right, Kyle. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the insight and the numbers in particular because
Speaker 1: once again our hashtag around here is nomad. Thanks Kyle,
Speaker 1: love your stuff. Kyle, Thank you brother. Thanks guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: There you go. You know, if you're want to talk numbers,
Speaker 1: the next gen stats, just hit up Kyle on Twitter.
Speaker 1: We continue with a big Red Rage present of my
Speaker 1: Santan Ford in Gilbert trips left single receiver right second
Speaker 1: ago in the fifteen snapped to Murray, play action pass
Speaker 1: Murray and Trouble on the pocket rolls to the left
Speaker 1: now throws left side of the end zone, and oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, Larry Fitzgerrold caught it for a touchdown, his
Speaker 1: first touchdown of the year. And it's been fens falling backwards,
Speaker 1: the defender screening and he probably can't even see the
Speaker 1: ball until it hits him his hands and the Cardinals
Speaker 1: get a touch. Larry Fitzgerald, don't know how many more
Speaker 1: times we're gonna get to watch him here at State
Speaker 1: Barn Stadium. Take every one of those in That is
Speaker 1: the question yet again, another offseason where that is the question, Larry,
Speaker 1: to be or not to be an Arizona Cardinal this
Speaker 1: next season as that answer hangs in the balance. It
Speaker 1: is the Big Red Race presented by Santan Ford and
Speaker 1: Gilbert We are Satan for Paul calvc Ron Wolfley Special
Speaker 1: thanks to Kylo to guard wolf as a guy who's
Speaker 1: been tackled at least twice by Larry Fitzgerald. You know,
Speaker 1: what can you tell us? Come on now, what kind
Speaker 1: of please? You've been wrong every off season pretty much,
Speaker 1: but I still ask you the question even though you've
Speaker 1: been wrong every offseason, right Polly, listen to honestly? You know,
Speaker 1: I you know a lot more about this than I do.
Speaker 1: You're laughing as you ask me that question, because you know,
Speaker 1: nobody talks to me whatsoever. Nobody tells me anything. My
Speaker 1: gut tells me. The longer it goes, the better the
Speaker 1: odds he comes back. I agree with that, you do.
Speaker 1: I do agree with that. I think remember what Antoine
Speaker 1: Bethey told us here recently on the Big Red Rage.
Speaker 1: When you're trying to figure out if you're gonna play
Speaker 1: an eighteenth season, and this is bithet now, someone who
Speaker 1: played fourteen seasons. It's not September through January, because on
Speaker 1: a week to week basis, you can get up for
Speaker 1: games and the adrenaline and the work's already in this
Speaker 1: season started. It's February through August. Yeah, it's it's the
Speaker 1: mental grind of Okay, I gotta stay in shape. I
Speaker 1: gotta get an even better shape because I'm even older.
Speaker 1: It's the OTAs. It's gonna be all these zoom meetings.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be training camp. I mean, well, if you
Speaker 1: played a decade in the NFL, can you relate to that? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: I can relate to that, Polly, Yeah, I just I
Speaker 1: feel like the longer it goes, And the reason why
Speaker 1: I feel this way, Polly, the longer it goes, the
Speaker 1: better the odds it tells me he might be conflicted.
Speaker 1: I think we all looked at Larry Fitzgerald last year
Speaker 1: and saw him play in his seventeenth season, saw the
Speaker 1: injuries that he dealt with, right he had the COVID
Speaker 1: situation as well. We saw what happened to Larry, the
Speaker 1: dip in productivity. I think that has a lot to
Speaker 1: do with it as well. But it tells me that
Speaker 1: he's conflicted about walking away under those auspices. And I
Speaker 1: know what that feels like, Paul, because I did that
Speaker 1: in year nine. I sat out after nine years in
Speaker 1: the NFL. I sat out with a bad back. And
Speaker 1: now listen, Bally, I'm not comparing myself to the legend,
Speaker 1: all right, that is Larry Fitzgerald. I'm not, but I
Speaker 1: know what it's like. I wanted to say goodbye to
Speaker 1: the game on my terms, not sitting out with a
Speaker 1: bad back. So I came back for that tenth year
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five. I wanted to come back and
Speaker 1: be able to say I'm wondering if Larry feels the
Speaker 1: same way, knowing how this joined it last season was
Speaker 1: for him if he doesn't want to go out that way. Okay,
Speaker 1: So once again to confirm you have not spoken with
Speaker 1: Larry Fisher. I have not. Okay, Let's let's hear from
Speaker 1: someone who has. Because owner Michael Biddwell this Morning with
Speaker 1: You and Doug on Newsmaker's Week of ninety eight seven
Speaker 1: FM Arizona Sports had this update on fits. Let's just
Speaker 1: be patient. There are a lot of things that Larry's
Speaker 1: thinking about. And I did get a chance to speak
Speaker 1: with him on the way back from the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: We rode back to Phoenix together and had a long discussion.
Speaker 1: Didn't ask him a single question about this, and it
Speaker 1: scause you know, you just want to let him take
Speaker 1: his time, be patient, and I hope we're able to
Speaker 1: see him in our uniform coming back this year. It's
Speaker 1: it's going to be an interesting year. We certainly in
Speaker 1: this offseason. Could the wait, this is me surmising now,
Speaker 1: Could the wait be related to a business decision? Could
Speaker 1: there be a business component this? Perhaps Larry has been
Speaker 1: waiting for the news we got today. What the sour
Speaker 1: clap floor? What could it be? What will I earn
Speaker 1: as a guy who's earned his jersey number in millions
Speaker 1: each of the last several years, eleven million per Yeah,
Speaker 1: what sort of haircut is Larry gonna have to take financially?
Speaker 1: Maybe he needs or wants an answer to that question. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: that is that's a good question to answer or have answered.
Speaker 1: But I can just say once again, I think overall,
Speaker 1: it's got a lot to do with his productivity and
Speaker 1: you know, Larry, he's being gone the productivity and wanting
Speaker 1: to go out there. And as long as he's productive,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't Larry go out there if he's healthy and
Speaker 1: he's feeling good. Last year it was not that case.
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why I think the longer
Speaker 1: it goes on, Polly, he's conflicted. I think he's conflicted
Speaker 1: because maybe he does want to come back and play,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna all find out, we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: front row seat. But man, I hope he does. I
Speaker 1: hope he comes back and gets that eighteenth season in
Speaker 1: and you know what, gets that ten minute standing ovation
Speaker 1: from the Red Sea. Yes, I mean, he just there's
Speaker 1: something about Larry going out without fans being able to
Speaker 1: salute him in person at State Farm Stadium. That just
Speaker 1: doesn't feel right, doesn't. No, it doesn't. But you know, Paulie,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna matter to him. He doesn't look for
Speaker 1: those moments the way we do. It's true, we're the
Speaker 1: ones who probably want the standing ovation for Larry right right.
Speaker 1: Not him. He's gonna sweet it out on a Friday
Speaker 1: or something like that, and I'll try to make it
Speaker 1: as as least announcement and then walk on the Great
Speaker 1: Wall of China the next day. I do have a
Speaker 1: theory on Larry that I haven't shared yet. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that next. To wrap up this edition of the
Speaker 1: Big Red Race presented by Santan four King Gilbert. You
Speaker 1: know there's gonna be a size much shift here. You know,
Speaker 1: we've already started to see it with veterans are going
Speaker 1: to be cut around the league, and so when you
Speaker 1: think about what's going to happen going forward, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to improve this team. They're gonna be other
Speaker 1: teams that are going to be moving around because they're
Speaker 1: gonna lose talent. And I'm very bullish on twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one for both Cliff and for Steve. That's intriguing, isn't it?
Speaker 1: That actually plays in what we mentioned earlier, and that's
Speaker 1: team owner Michael Vidwan went Doug and Wolf this morning
Speaker 1: at ninety eight seven FM Arizona Sports as we wrap
Speaker 1: up this edition of The Big Red Rage presented by
Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert. That that does tie into what
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds had tweeted about earlier this week where he
Speaker 1: said there's going to be a lot of really good
Speaker 1: players taking one year rentals. Free agency is going to
Speaker 1: be wild. According to Chase Edmonds via Twitter and Wolf,
Speaker 1: this is my theory on Larry. Okay, does anybody have
Speaker 1: a bigger and better Rolodex contact list in his phone?
Speaker 1: Then Larry Fitzgerald in an NFL locker room right now,
Speaker 1: we would you say Warren Buffett is a big name
Speaker 1: out there pubs. Remember on The Big Red Rage right
Speaker 1: here on this show two years ago, he was talking
Speaker 1: about how he gets text messages from Tiger Woods and
Speaker 1: brock Obama, Right, I mean, you know, right, and so hey,
Speaker 1: if that is the case, Larry needs to come back
Speaker 1: and pull a Lebron and just start recruiting guys, you know,
Speaker 1: come here in a one year rental. You can enjoy
Speaker 1: the weather and the natural grass estate Farm Stadium. You
Speaker 1: can even come over to my place in PV and
Speaker 1: hang out, you know, I mean, just that would be
Speaker 1: a great scenario and game plan, would it not. No,
Speaker 1: You're You're right on it, Bullie. Honestly, you need that
Speaker 1: superstar effect, that impact to recruit him today's free agency.
Speaker 1: I would love Corey Linsley honestly, right now if the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals targeted the center from the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: A guy that's played seven years in the league, He's
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old. He still has a lot of
Speaker 1: value going forward. Right now. I don't know exactly what
Speaker 1: the market is going to be for him, but Corey
Speaker 1: Linsley to me, is a guy that I would love
Speaker 1: that if the Arizona Cardinals targeted him, especially, experience is
Speaker 1: so vital at that position as the quarterback of the
Speaker 1: old line. Right just solidified because well, you answer basically
Speaker 1: my question. I was gonna say, you know, mock drafts,
Speaker 1: have the Cardinals taken anything from you know, I mean
Speaker 1: cornered a wide receiver, O line edge running back. But
Speaker 1: in terms of position of need and free agency, you're
Speaker 1: thinking center, any other position that stands oh. I would
Speaker 1: say interior offensive line certainly cornered, depending on what happens
Speaker 1: with Pat He I would say even safety help, maybe
Speaker 1: the secondary. I listen, I think the Cardinals are going
Speaker 1: to go in. They have an awful lot of needs
Speaker 1: and they're gonna take the best player available at those needs.
Speaker 1: At number sixteen. As we started with the Mars Rover
Speaker 1: and the Saint on the Wall emission control today, dare
Speaker 1: mighty thinks that's the Mottel going into the offseason. Special
