Speaker 1: you're a man who appreciates the written word, do you not?

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I think we need to write a letter right here

15
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: off the top. I'll start. Okay, dear Preseason, we missed you,

16
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: and we apologize if we ever dissed you. After twenty

17
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: twenty and the pandemic protocols took you so far away

18
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: from us, Well, you don't know what you have till

19
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: you don't have it, So it is great. It is

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: great to have you back preseason. At the same time,

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: we're also glad you're only three games, nothing personal, but

22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: you are the preseason unless it's still more. And here

23
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: we go, not only the preseason, kicking things off tomorrow night.

24
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: It is the Big Red Rage twas the night before

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one preseason, all presented by santan Ford

26
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: and Gilbert. We are santan Ford, not just Paul Kelvs

27
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: here Ron Wolfley, there about upcoming Robert Alfred bringing some

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: football knowledge and energy and intensee so boom. We are

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: good to go with the game plan tonight. Polly, I

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: am so stoked, there's no doubt about it. Just knowing

31
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: that there is football that is looming. I'm talking about

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: football in the silks, baby, where the eye black is

33
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: on and the bloody knuckles come out. Babe. I cannot

34
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: wait to see somebody drill somebody. And Polly, I'll tell

35
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: you this right now. Marcus Golden, that's the guy that

36
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I think is gonna drill somebody first. There's my bet,

37
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden. You know, arguably the quota camp so far,

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: somebody asked him, when was the last time you had

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: a low energy day? And he stared straight at the reporter.

40
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: He said, probably Juco Junior College. Juco will bring you. So,

41
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: you know what, Well, let's see if you're ready for

42
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: the preseason. I'm gonna I'm gonna attempt to earhole you

43
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: right off the top. Are you ready with this following quiz?

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: You're ready for? Well? You know what, the star did

45
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: make a good target. Go ahead, that's true. The longest

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: tenured player on the Arizona Cardinals roster right here, right

47
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: now is the longest tenure cardinal Without Patrick Peterson, without

48
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, who is the longest tenured cardinal. Wow, Paul,

49
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: that's blowing my mind right now. Of guess what there

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: is a direct link to the big Red rage the

51
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: past few years. Okay, DJ, okay, that how he's gonna

52
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: guess that, Paul? Isn't that that's mind blowing? Twenty fifteen?

53
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh that is dull? There you go. I mean if

54
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge can hit a home run into the corn

55
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: a few moments ago, then DJ Humphreys gonna be the

56
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: longest tenured Cardinal going into this season. Corsett's pending the

57
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: return of Larry Fitzgerald, according to Larry Senior in a

58
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: couple of tweets that went out in the last twenty

59
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: four hours. So who knows what's going on on that front.

60
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the known wolf and what we think

61
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: we know when it comes to tomorrow night, um Kyler

62
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Murray may or may not play. We're not exactly sure

63
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: how that's gonna stack. We'll wait and see. We know

64
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is not playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Okay,

65
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: we will see the offensive line, there's no doubt the

66
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: starting offensive line featuring Rodney Hudson. And if this was

67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: the other arguably quote of camp when Justin Peuse said

68
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the following about the former two time Pro bowler or

69
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson going through the offseason, he hanging out and

70
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: just getting the note type of man he is. He's

71
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: he's awesome. We all know what he can do on

72
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: the football field, but the integrity, it's almost like he's

73
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna get mad at me. For a Chris Paul type

74
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: of addition, where you're bringing a guy with that veteran

75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: leadership who knows how to do things right off the field.

76
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: It you know, trickles onto the field. Really, wow, really,

77
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: you know what, I honestly, Pauli that resonates with me,

78
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: and the reason being is because of the position that

79
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: he plays, the center position. Once again, listen, there's no

80
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Your quarterback that is the most important

81
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: position on your team. And they're called franchise quarterbacks for

82
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: a reason. But offensively, when you talk about the point guard, man,

83
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: if you want to, if you want to, look at

84
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: somebody in point to them and say, no, it's not

85
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the guard, it's the center. It's the point center in

86
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: the game of football that calls the place and gets

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: protections and gets people on the same page. Do you

88
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: know how important that is, Pauli to any offense. It's critical.

89
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: So I get exactly what Justin Pugh was saying in

90
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: regard to Rodney Hudson being that point guard if you will,

91
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: or point center in this case. You know, I've heard

92
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff about Rodney Hudson, and I

93
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: mean there's some absurd stuff like he hasn't been called

94
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: for a false start since two thy sixteen. Think about that,

95
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: stunning didn't have a penalty flag of any sort all

96
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: of last season. Obviously, that's an area of need for

97
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinals team that led the NFL in that category.

98
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: But when I hear he's an absolute grinder and he

99
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: devours game film and he just sits in there and

100
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: he grinds on the film and he's really prepared. I mean, Wolf, yes,

101
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: you can't tell me that's not going to go a

102
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: long way when he's trying to make sure that your

103
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: quarterback is prepared and into the game plan and into

104
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: the game field and knowing exactly what the opponent is

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: going to bring week to week or your spot on

106
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: and that one PAULI ding ding ding ding ding. Somebody

107
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: gives the sideline reporter or a treat because you nailed that, Paul. Listen,

108
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: this is why it's so important that you bring not

109
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: only Rodney Hudson in, but the impact that he's going

110
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: to have on everybody else on that offensive line. This

111
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: is why Steve Kim went out and got Rodney Hudson.

112
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: How we got Rodney Hudson. Still, I'm still wondering how

113
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: that transpired. Mike Mayock, are you feeling okay? And I

114
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: love Mike Mayock, He's a friend of the family, But

115
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: my goodness, I still can't believe the Arizona Cardinal somehow,

116
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: some way, God, Rodney Hudson right now, and Paul, when

117
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: you talk about him grinding, this is what I love

118
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: about Rodney Hudson. What's your excuse if you're not doing this?

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: Guy is hot, a ten year veteran in this league.

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: He's considered to be maybe the best center in the league,

121
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: top three certain and now all of a sudden, he's

122
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: grinding away on film and he's doing all of the

123
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: things he needs to do to be successful, and he's

124
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: putting in the time and you're not. What are you doing?

125
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: So your offensive line to start the game tomorrow night.

126
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Dj Humphreys left tackle, Justin Pugh, left guard, Rodney Hudson,

127
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: your center. Josh Jones, a third round pick a year

128
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: ago he didn't play a single preseason game, said he's

129
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: really looking forward to to play in tomorrow night because

130
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: he just hasn't gotten many snaps at all since his

131
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: college days at Houston. He'll be the right guard without

132
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Brian Winners, without Justin Murray, and then your right tackle

133
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: of course, Kelvin Beacham. Now, we also had news about

134
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: who else won't be around tomorrow night. As reports say

135
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: that there are additions to the COVID list, Andy Isabella

136
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: was already there as of a couple of days ago. Well,

137
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: now you can add James Connor, Durrell Daniels the tight end,

138
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Charles Washington, the safety and special team standout Lecky Foe

139
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: to another defensive lineman, Ron Wolfley. The Cardinals will be

140
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: without JJ Watt, Jordan Phillips, Zach Allen, Richard, Lawrence Lecky

141
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Foe to their top five defensive linemen. So, okay, that's

142
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: what we know on that front. Now, it's a good

143
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: thing we haven't had cutdowns yet, Paul, Yeah, I mean,

144
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: and by the way, that's August thirty. First they have

145
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: to get down to the final fifty three. And then

146
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: there's the head coach who was asked earlier this week

147
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: about the twenty nineteen preseason, and remember what he told

148
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: us on his weekly TV show right where in hindsight,

149
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: maybe trying to hide everything in the preseason didn't exactly

150
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: help the Cardinals as much as it hurt them as

151
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: they were trying to confuse the Lions, and maybe they

152
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: confuse themselves. And Cliff king Zario was asked about that,

153
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: you want to give them plays they understand can execute

154
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: at high level, play fast, be aggressive, and really get

155
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: to see the best version of themselves. So that's what

156
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: we're trying to do. The first year, we were really

157
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: trying to keep it all tech to him tie the offense,

158
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: and like I said, it was a mistake, and so

159
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 1: this year we'll be a little bit more open and

160
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: play our game to an extent. What do you think

161
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: that means, Wolf, You know what, the best version of themselves.

162
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: That's what I keep focusing in on, Bully. In other words,

163
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: it's about the player and not the play, right, Paul,

164
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: It's about the player and not the play the best

165
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: version of themselves. We want them to play fast, We

166
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: want them to go out there and be aggressive and

167
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: be physical. By limiting the scope of what it is

168
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: that we're going to do. What that means, I really

169
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: don't know, but I'll tell you what I'd love to

170
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: see in this situation, Paul, is a quarterback under center

171
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: about fifty percent of the time, go twenty five percent

172
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: in the gun, go twenty five percent of the pistol

173
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the time. Because I do believe a

174
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: quarterback under center is where this offense can grow and

175
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: expand the most this season from what we've seen in

176
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: seasons past. It's the quarterback and undercenting. Now, listen, I'm

177
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: not saying you're ever going to run it fifty percent

178
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: of the time in the regular season. They are not

179
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: going to do that. That's not who Cliff Kingsbury is.

180
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: It's not who Kyler Murray is. They're gonna put him

181
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: in the gun. That's gonna be the number one quarterback position.

182
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna put him in the shotgun and run their offense.

183
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: But I do believe if in fact, you're going to

184
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: expand a quarterback under center, Polly Hey, why not in

185
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the preseason, wrap it out, and wrap it out, and

186
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: wrap it out, because when you put that quarterback under center,

187
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: what you're really saying is, listen, we're not going to

188
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: try to trick you. We're gonna try to truck you

189
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: right here, because everyone knows what kind of plays you're

190
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: gonna run. If you put Kyler Murray under center, and

191
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: you put a you put a running back with his

192
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: toes at seven yards and it's twelve personnel where it's

193
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: eleven personnel, you're gonna run the tackle zone. That like

194
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: everybody else in the league. That's what you're gonna do.

195
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna run the stretch, You're gonna have a bootleg,

196
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a waggle, you're gonna have a seven

197
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: stop play, seven step play action off of that, You're

198
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna run those set of plays right there, and why

199
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: not you need to wrap them out because sometimes, Polly,

200
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to line up and just be

201
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: better than the guy across from you. You've said it before.

202
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: You have to be able to run the ball when

203
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: everybody knows you're going to run the ball. Right There

204
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: was a moment in camp the other day and James

205
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Conner and run off the field and then he came

206
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: running back on and I happen to have my head

207
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: down and almost got in the way of an almost

208
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: full galloping James Conner, which would have been a critical

209
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: mistake on my part. He's a large dude. You know what,

210
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: your hair would have helped you though. And look, if

211
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: there's one thing I know is standing next to football

212
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: players on the sideline. He is a large dude and

213
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing his two hundred and thirty

214
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: three plus pounds coming full force, full charging down the

215
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: field at the Tennessee Titans in week one. Whether we

216
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: see him tomorrow or night, I have no idea. Chase Edmonds,

217
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure. I figure we're gonna see Zavan

218
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: Collins and Isaiah Simmons for a couple of series, and

219
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm guessing we're gonna see Robert Alfred and the starting

220
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: corners out there. What exactly does that mean? We'll talk

221
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals Robert Alfred next and the Big Red

222
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Brady gets a

223
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: stamp from Andrew Falcon's trying to get them or snap

224
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: that coming back up the field. It's Robert Alferd, Albert

225
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: forty thirty twenty fifteen, ten five and he will walk

226
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: into the end tone on an eighty one yard pick six.

227
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: He knows if he's healthy. Man, he's a big party's defense.

228
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: And when you're speaking about leaders and guys, that's pushing

229
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: guys man. He is on top of our lists forward leaders,

230
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: that is Cardinals de coordinator, Vance, Joseph and Wolf. The

231
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: competition level, the compete level officially just went up in

232
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: a big way on The Big Red Rage based on

233
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: our next guest start barkatball. If I asked you to

234
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: name one player who has stood out each of the

235
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: last three Cardinal camps, right, A guy who's getting you

236
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: fired up, because we're most definitely looking forward to seeing

237
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: come September and beyond. A guy when you're down on

238
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: the field, A guy you here, I mean before you

239
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: even see him, and now we get a chance to

00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: hear him tonight on the Big Red Rage, our special

241
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: guest corner at Robert Alfred, Robert, how are we doing?

242
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing good? How you guys doing? Man, really appreciate

243
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: you joining us right now, Robert. I have to start

244
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: with this. What is Hammond, Louisiana? Like? Oh, man, it's

245
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: a little small country town, man, really, Yeah, everybody knows everybody, man.

246
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Pretty much, everybody that that's from there is pretty much

247
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: in some sort of way kin to each other. So

248
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: that's just telling you just how small it is. You know.

249
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: So you went to Southeast Louisiana. Look at you in

250
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: your NFL career, Malcolm Butler went to West Alabama. Look

251
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: it this NFL career. Is there something that ingrained in

252
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: the two of you? Is that? I mean? Is there

253
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: something you guys share and is there a trait between

254
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: the two of you that led to each of you

255
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: having successful NFL careers and defining the odds. Oh yeah,

256
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: most definitely. Man being from a small school, I think

257
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: Malcolm Um started off at a at a junior college,

258
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: just speaking with him and just getting to know him.

259
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: But most definitely though it come from a small school, man,

260
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: you always gonna have a chip on your shoulder because

261
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: both of us we felt like we could have win

262
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: D one and and just not being able to go

263
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: D one made a bigger chip upon our shoulder. So

264
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: for us to have Um the career that we have,

265
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: I think he going into his eight year. I'm going

266
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: into my ninth year. Man, Um, it's real big for us.

267
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: Like I said, we came from a small school, was

268
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: pretty much like overlooked and Um I always had to

269
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: prove ourselves during our football career. So yeah, that was

270
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: That's that's major. Robert, you already talked about it. You

271
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: touched on it, the fact that you missed the last

272
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: two training camps coming into this training camp here, What

273
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: did that teach you? If anything? The last two years.

274
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm just telling me just to um take it day

275
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: by day. And never um like never never regret um

276
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: like never that look over a day. You know what

277
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like always um be like take advantage of

278
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: each day that you're out there on the field. Like

279
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: you said, I was out for two years. Man, that

280
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: was that was very tough for me, man, just um

281
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: coming from being released by by Atlanta and then that

282
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: offseason just busting my butt to UM to prove myself

283
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: and then just went down with a leg injury and

284
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: then come back off the leg in drafted, grinding again

285
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: another offseason and then tearing my pick. Man was was

286
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: um it taught me a lot, man, It really like

287
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: taught me like patience and and and just like I said,

288
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: not to regret like no days, man like, take advantage

289
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: of each and every day that God has blessed me

290
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: to um to play this game. So here you are now, Robert,

291
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: You're thirty two years old. You're in this training camp.

292
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: How's the body holding up right now? I mean I'm

293
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: thirty two. I feel like I'm twenty five. So that

294
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: tells you a lot. But um nah, I've done a

295
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of things man this offseason. Like you said, I

296
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: came from those two two injured these past years. On

297
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: my wife, she's um got me on the um some pills.

298
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: Um that that helped with recovery, tumor rick and things

299
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: like that, casting um pills. So um she done her job.

300
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: And um we added in polides this offseason. So it

301
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: was more so like stretching, um, getting nobody ready for training. Kevin,

302
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: I think those things helped me a lot. Hey, Robert

303
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Alfred is our guest Cardinals cornerback here on the big

304

00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: last couple of years, right, so so you're probably feeling

307
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: good in a lot of ways. But it was important,

308
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: if I remember right, well, you told the media to

309
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: start camp, to stay in Arizona and talk about this

310
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: to prove that the Cardinals that you're still the player

311
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: they signed three years ago. Correct, correct, Man? That was

312
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: that was the main thing for me, Man, to to

313
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: get back what they what they blessed me with. Like

314
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: I said, I was released after the twenty eighteen season

315
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: from Atlanta, and they blessed me to come here just

316
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: to show my talents and to prove myself that I

317
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: was still UM that that good carnerback, that great cornerback

318
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: in the league. And UM, like I said I did,

319
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: was UM hinder and got hurt the past two years.

320
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: And my main thing was, like I told my agent, man,

321
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: I had the return here. I had to UM give

322
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: them back what they what they blessed me with UM

323
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: these past two years. And I just wanted to prove

324
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: myself and the show my show my skills UM this

325
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: year to them and show them that I am the

326
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: player that UM that they bought from Atlanta. Robert. That

327
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: is so cool. I gotta tell you. It's a guy

328
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: that played ten years in the National Football League. To

329
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: hear you say you felt like you owed something to that, dude,

330
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, props to you right right.

331
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. And I see how you got through the

332
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: last two years. I know you mentioned your faith and

333
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: your stepfather is a pastor and that you know that

334
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: helped you that mental strength. So so does that help

335
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: you when you're lined up? Oh, I don't know. Over

336
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins one of the best in the game. And

337
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: then because you guys have had some legendary one on

338
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: one so far, haven't you. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Man,

339
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: it's it's it's good to go against the petition plus

340
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: UM to have a receiver on the team that's UM.

341
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: If not the best, he's definitely in the top three

342
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: UM in the league for sure. And being able to

343
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: practice practice against him and ask questions, UM, what he

344
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: see that I can improve on vice versa and UM. Yeah, man,

345
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: we've been going there to each and every day, man,

346
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: And it's great competition. UM. I've been knowing hop since

347
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: we since we enter into the NFL. We trained together

348
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: at IMG, so pretty much we already knew about each other,

349
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: knew knew each other high mental was and I mean,

350
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: it's it's great competition to be able just to practice

351
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: UM against him each and every day. Roberts, everybody tells

352
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: me what a dog you are, and I don't have

353
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: to be told. I can watch you practice and you

354
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: go about your business. Over these last two training camps,

355
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. You got all dog in

356
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: you right now. Let me ask you this, do you

357
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: engage in trash talking? And if so, why UM? And

358
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: some yeah, yeah, yeah, I love the trash talk UM

359
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: most of the time. UM. I pretty much like when

360
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: the receivers or whoever, um to start talking to me first,

361
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: because once they talk to me, that makes me real.

362
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That made me real competitive.

363
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: I really like turn on the switch. So I love

364
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: when when someone talks to me. But if I feel

365
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: like the receiver isn't talking, I just thought when him

366
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: just so he can start talking, you know what I'm saying,

367
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: And it makes me. It fires me up at the

368
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: end of the day, because that what drives me. You

369
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: know what. It's so funny, Robert, because I remember being

370
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: a player, and sometimes I would challenge myself. I didn't

371
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: feel like I was good, I didn't feel like I

372
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: was ready to go, so I'd start talking trash because

373
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: I knew if I if I was talking trash, you

374
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: better be through it. Do you ever do that to

375
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: get yourself going? Um? Sometimes I do. But most of

376
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: the times, Um, I'm already like eager than and ready

377
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: to to start. I'm already liked comfany and and my

378
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: film studied during that week, and comfany and the coach

379
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: is gonna put us in the right position. So pretty

380
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: much I already be like be empty up. Of course,

381
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: like if if I feel like I need a little edge.

382
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna start a trash talking to make him

383
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: say something. You know. That was Richard Sherman back in

384
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: the day. He used to complain he tried to talk

385
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: trash talk Larry, and then Larry would be complimentary. He'd

386
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: be like, you know, hey, you're looking good, Richard. Your

387
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: film's good, You're in good shape. How's the family? And

388
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman's like, I'm trying to trash talk right right.

389
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: That doesn't work. So I don't know if that was

390
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: like reverse psychology. How about de Hoop though, he's come

391
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: over to the defensive sideline a few times and he's

392
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: made some noise. He sparked a little, hasn't he Yeah, Yeah,

393
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean that's hot man hop hop gonna trash talk

394
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: to Um. I mean that's just him. I mean he

395
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: has that dog in He just on the offensive side,

396
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But um, like I said,

397
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: man like, he's he's a he's a big competitor. He's

398
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: a big competitor. So as my own myself, you are

399
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: a huge competitor. It's one of the things I love

400
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: watching you practice. Just go about your business. May ask

401
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: you this, you played for a lot of defensive coordinators.

402
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: Who was the toughest defensive coordinator you've played for? Oh Man,

403
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: I probably say they always on the same same category

404
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: from um, from coach Quinn to VJ to Mike Nolan. Um,

405
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: all of them had that that um, that dog mentality

406
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: and ain't gonna push. They're gonna push their players. You

407
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They want the best out of

408
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: each and every one of them. And then, UM, I

409
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: can't just point out one defensive coordinator. You know what

410
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, They all of us was in the same

411
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: was in that same mindset for me, Has anyone ever

412
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: had to coach you hard? Robert as a hard coaching

413
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: and do you respond to hard coaching? Well, um, that's

414
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: the number one thing that I tell my defensive coordinators

415
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: and my um, my corner best coach is to coach

416
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: me hard, um, because I want to be great, So UM,

417
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm able to take everything they throw at me. But

418
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: the number one thing that I want them to do

419
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: is is to coach me hard because I want them

420
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: to push out the best in me. Because I know

421
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: that I want to be great and the only way

422
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: to be great is to have that coach. That's gonna

423
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: push the best out of you. Dude. That's like a

424
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: warm blanket being wrapped around me on a cold winter's day.

425
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: To actually hear you say that, that's exactly the way

426
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: I felt as walking would drive me. That's what I

427
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: want because I know if it's when they don't yell

428
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: at you, man, and that's when you start worrying about it.

429
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: So you guys aren't interested in the participation trophies. It's

430
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: not what you're saying. Okay, all right, Hey, it's all

431
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: about you, Robert Alfred here on the Big Red Rage.

432
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: All right, So speaking to your de coordinator, advanced Joseph, Look,

433
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: we know the number one thing with the corner is

434
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: you gotta cover. But he mentioned on his own this

435
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: crew in this room and their ability to tackle, whether

436
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: it's you, whether it's Malcolm Butler, Byron Murphy. How big

437
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: a deal is that to this defense in your opinion, Robert,

438
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: m that's real big. Come into the into the new

439
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: rule that they add this year that we can't cut.

440
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: So we know that a lot of teams is gonna

441
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: try to um come on on the edge on the perimeters,

442
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna expect to tackle. And I think that

443
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: VJ coach, coach rob everybody on defensive side. I think

444
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: they bought in, um a great secondary group. That shoot,

445
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: if one of us go down, that the next president

446
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna step up. And we all got that dog mentality

447
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: and go come up and stick out, nose in and

448
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: make tackles. Talk about Byron Murphy, what kind of growth

449
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: have you seen from Byron Murphy? Man? Real big man.

450
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: He made a big jump man, just from from when

451
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: he first got here, um to now. But um, I

452
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: mean he's made a tremendous jump from his rookie year

453
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: to what it is, his third year, um, whatnot. But

454
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: you see each and every year that that Murphy is

455
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: is growing as a as a as an NFL talented

456
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: UM cornerback. And I think the sky's the limit for him. Um.

457
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: He has the right mental Um, he has athletic ability. UM.

458
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: With that man, you can't go wrong. He just got

459
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: to just stay stay in a moment and keep on

460
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: pushing and keep on reaching the top. I know you

461
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: guys don't make a lot of questions about the rookies,

462
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: but just give us a little bit. Marco Wilson and

463
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: what you're seeing because he appears from what we can tell,

464
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: to be that fourth corner right now. Yeah, man, Marco

465

Speaker 1: is going to be great. Man. You can see it

466
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: right now, just from him being a rick and how

467
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: he likes to soak up whatever he can. He's willing

468
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: to ask all the questions. Great, great, fundamentally sound um.

469
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: The sky's delemmit from him, for sure. Man, He's going

477
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: too early, right Thank you, Robert, thank you all. There

478
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: you go, Cardinals cornerback Robert Alfred joining us for a

479
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: few minutes here on the Big Red Rage. Oh man,

480
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that and more next as we continue

481
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: right here. The Big Red Rage, presented by Santan four

482
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: in Gilbert snapped the Wilson Cardinals bringing to pressure. It's

483
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: picked up Wilson the time of the pocket now and

484
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: trouble and sacked about four Cardinals in the backfield. But

485
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: it's Isaiah Simmons, the rookie that gets the Russell Wilson

486
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: first to force a funk. Shotguns snapped to Wilson straight

487
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: drop back, steps up in the pocket, takes off running

488
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: far side at the forty and drilled by Simmons at

489
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: the forty one. Isaiah Simmons is ball at Shotguns dat

490
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Wilson quick throw to the left, flat metcalf caught it

491
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: at the thirty eight, dropped by Isaiah Simmons for a

492
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: loss at the thirty seventy yard line. Simmons has played

493
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: terrific football tonight. The rookie really starting to get comfortable

494
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: out there. Two primetime games against Seattle last season and

495
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: two big time first impressions by Isaiah Simmons against the

496
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: division rival. That was at Seattle where he had ten

497
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: tackles in a sack in that game, and we know

498
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: what happened against the Seahawks in overtime at home where

499
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: he had the big interception that set up the game

500
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: winning field goal. Isaiah Simmons looking to pick up where

501
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: he left off against the Seahawks a year ago. It

502
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: is the Big Red Rage presented by Satan Ford and

503
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: Gilbert Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley's special thanks again to Robert

504
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Alford obviously, the football IQ, the intensity, the man and

505
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: some great stuff in there, and just talking about his

506
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: trash talking wolf his battles with d Hop and you

507
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: know what, towards the end of that interview, someone we're

508
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: going to keep an eye on tomorrow night, Marco Wilson.

509
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: He mentioned Marco Wilson and he had some pretty big

510
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: props because earlier in camp he didn't want anything to

511
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: do with any of the rookies and mentioned anything about

512
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: those guys. But he is willing to give a few

513
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: words on Marco Wilson and those were very positive. So

514
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: that should be encouraging to Marco Wilson. But you know what,

515
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: you need three corners. You gotta have three corners on

516
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: this team in today's NFL. And that's why I'm so

517
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: hopeful Robert Alford will actually stay healthy. With Byron Murphy

518
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: of course, and then Malcolm Butler. Speaking of young guys

519
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: and the defense, it's gott herrop all around, Zaven Collins

520
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Simmons and just curious because I know a

521
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: lot of people are curious. What have you seen from

522
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: those two guys in camp so far? Man? They look

523
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: good in the uniform. Ball that much, I'll tell you wow.

524
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the athleticism is there, the length is there,

525
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: the ability to make plays, it is definitely there. I

526
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: am greatly encouraged to see Zaven Collins progressing the way

527
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: that he is in Isaiah Simmons as well. But you

528
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: know what, Polly, it comes down to doing. It comes

529
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: down when the silks go on, baby, and you go

530
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: out and you play a game against an opponent that

531
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: is trying to drive you into the ground. How are

532
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: you going to play? Man, Let's hope these two come together.

533
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: Let's hope these two can ball out and play well.

534
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: Because if they can play, and that's still a question mark. Sorry,

535
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: you gotta prove it. To me, Polly, I don't know

536
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: how you feel about it, but to me, you gotta

537
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: prove that you can play when the silks are on.

538
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: But if they can, is defense is going to go

539
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: as they go well? And if he doesn't prove it,

540
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: if he isn't the guy in the first two three weeks,

541
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: he will no longer be the guy you can't risk

542
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: regular season games, so he's gonna And I thought your

543
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: interview with Bill Davis, the inside linebackers coach, this week,

544
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, was excellent in a lot of ways. And

545
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: if I remember right, he said Zavin Collins would go

546
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: into a game in college, he'd have three, four, maybe

547
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: five defenses to call. Now he's got thirty. Now they

548
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: narrow that downcome game day and for that particular opponent.

549
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: But it just shows you how a kid can be

550
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: swimming when he all of a sudden he's tasked with

551
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: cowen a entire defense. And in fact, here's Zaven Collins

552
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: in camp and just talking about the you know, the

553
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: push he's getting from everyone around him. Guys in this

554
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: locker room are great, you know. Of course, being the

555
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: young guy on the team, guys have been on me before.

556
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: Guys have come up to me and yelled at me,

557
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: done stuff like that because they have a passion for

558
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: the game. I have a passion for a game as well.

559
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: I have no experience right now, but pretty soon, to

560
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: do or die, you have to do it. And those

561
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: guys are put me every day to be in that position.

562
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: So it's a very friendly environment and It does make

563
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: a difference whenever you're close to your team. And I

564
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: cannot wait to watch as Paula. I really cannodd, Zaven

565
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: Collins of course, and Isaiah Simmons, especially Paul tomorrow night

566
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: and run down. I don't care how many reps they get, Polly,

567
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't care what it is. And run down situation

568
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: first and ten second and one to six with a

569
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: power personnel group out there. Whether they have eleven personnel,

570
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to consider that a power personnel, but

571
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: a twelve personnel unit that's one back, two tight ends,

572
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: two wide receivers, maybe a thirteen where it's one back,

573
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: it's three tight ends and one wide receiver. But a

574
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: power personnel group and rundown situation. And then whether the

575
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys try to run the ball or use play action,

576
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: how does Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons do in those situations?

577
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: In particular, that's what I'm looking for, rundown situation against

578
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: power personnel and play action or running the ball, because

579
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: obviously Week one against the Tennessee Titans, that's what they're

580
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: gonna see. And guess what we expect Zaman Collins to see.

581
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott, that Zeke Elliott will probably be out there

582
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: for at least a series, maybe two. He did not

583
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: play in that Hall of Fame game, and so there

584
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: you go. That's gonna be a marquee top five running back.

585
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to match up against. Also intriguing

586
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: what Bill Davis said this week to you Wolf was

587
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: that Jordan Hicks is quote having the best camp I've

588
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: ever seen him half. Now, remember Bill Davis was a

589
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in Philly when they drafted Jordan Hicks in

590
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. So very interesting there. In fact, on the

591
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage earlier this year, Bill Davis, we asked

592
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: him here right here about where he just thinks the

593
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: Arizona d is going to improve the most. Our turnovers,

594
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: I think are going to increase. One of the things

595
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: you get when you get the two six four inside

596
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: backers who can move and run. Now is a quarterback

597
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: when you try to high lowis and you've got a

598
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: short little stop route in an in behind it, trying

599
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: to throw over those two inside, You're going to elevate

600
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: your pass a little bit. To safeties are gonna get

601
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: more balls, I believe. I think there'll be more tips

602
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: and overthrows, and tips and overthrows in the NFL turn

603
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: into interceptions. Yeah, I mean, think of everything on paper. Now, okay,

604
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: this is on paper, all right. The Cardinals, if your advanced,

605
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Joseph and you're Bill Davison, you're drawing up this defense

606
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: and you're saying, okay, potentially you're gonna have Ryan Tannehill

607
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: coming up the line of scrimmage on September twelfth in Nashville.

608
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: And on the left side, he's got Chandler Jones. Old boy,

609
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: there's fifty five. He's got a nineteen sacks season under

610
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: his belt two years ago. Right next to him is

611
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: ninety nine JJ Watt. I got Marcus Golden blowing spit

612
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: bubbles off the right side. Now here's Isaiah Simmons off

613
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: the edge. Wait a minute, Buddha Baker is flashing six

614
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: foot five Saving Collins is in the middle. I gotta

615
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: throw over him on third and seven. I mean, there's

616
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: a lot to think about matchup wise. Yeah, you know what, honestly,

617
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: right now, to the Arizona Cardinals. And they've done this

618
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: at public setting right here, so I'm not divulging any

619
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: inside information, but they ran a personnel group out there

620
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: that you know I've been talking about, PAULI, and you

621
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: hit on it in a little bit with Isaiah Simmons

622
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: coming off the edge. A lot of times you're gonna

623
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: see Isaiah Simmons on the outside. You're gonna see Chandler

624
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: Jones on the other side, You're gonna see Jordan Hicks

625
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: on the inside with Zaven Collins. That to me is

626
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: a true three four defense right there. And you know what,

627
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: why not why not start moving Isaiah Simmons around. This

628
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: is year two, it's not year one. You know, last

629
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: year I did not want them to move him around.

630
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: But man, now you can start doing it because I

631
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 1: think he's much more comfortable with the offense with the defense.

632
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: I should say, listen that thirty four unit that they

633
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: ran out there with those linebackers, those four linebackers on

634
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: the field, Paul, that's what you're gonna see against the

635
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans Week one. Once again, I believe this is

636
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: a personnel group that they're working with right now that

637
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: they want to get reps in game because they know

638
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: that they're going to use that against the Tennessee Titans.

639
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: That is just me pure speculation. Maybe you have to

640
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: walk down Buddha Baker, make an eight man front against

641
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: two tight ends, twelve personnel, Derek Henry attack a line

642
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, run the ball. Heck, yeah, that's the personnel group.

643
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna use advance. Joseph hinted at it

644
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. He was asked in a roundabout way,

645
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: and his response was, Look, we want to get the

646
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: eleven best players on the field. And if Jordan Hicks

647
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: is truly having what they're calling the best camp of

648
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: his career and he knows that defense cold, you don't

649
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: have to worry about any mental errors because not only

650
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: and well if you know, it's a lot better than me.

651
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: But to listen to other guys say it, not only

652
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: is Zavan Gallan's the guy wearing the green dot call

653
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: in the defense, he's trying to align other guys. Yes,

654
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: and so he's got enough to worry about making his

655
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: NFL debut. But if Jordan Hicks all of a sudden

656
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: has taking that off his plate in that three inside

657
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: linebacker set, then man, I just I like those possibilities

658
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: and just the fact it would reduce the mental errors

659
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: of the possibility there up that we saw, for example,

660
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: in Week one against the forty nine ers when Raheem

661
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: Mostert tasted Isaiah Simmons. It's one of the things, man,

662
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to look for tomorrow night is those

663
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 1: two guys, Zaven Collins once again and Isaiah Simmons, Paull

664
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: and how well they do in those situations, how they

665
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: hold up. There are more things that we're going to

666
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: be looking for. I know we're talking about that and

667
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: the next beautiful part of the program, but never forget this.

668
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Bill Davis also said Wolf, we're always preparing for the

669
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: Week one, We're always preparing for the Tennessee Titans. He

670
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: was talking about that when I talked about that personnel

671
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: group right there, because that is going to be the

672
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: game in my opinion, to a gross simplification of the truth, Paully,

673
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: but breaking it down, it's going to be rundown situation

674
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans. I've been talking about it for weeks.

675
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: They're one of the best offense. I think they might

676
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: be the best offense in the league. And it's going

677
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: to be a throwback offense. It's going to be more

678
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: of a traditional offense now they blend the old and

679
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: the new. They'll put Derrick Henry right there in the

680
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: shotgun next to Ryan Tannehill. They'll run some zone reads

681
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry. What a mother that is. Right. When

682
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: you've got Ryan Tannehill, who can also run the ball

683
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: in that situation, they'll they blend the old and the new.

684
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: Eye absolutely love watching this offense play. I think they're

685
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the best. That's gonna be the

686
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: game to me, in a gross simplification of the truth.

687
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: Can the Arizona Cardinals and those two young linebackers hold

688
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: up against the Tennessee Titans and their rundown offense? And

689
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: you know what you are so right? Ryan Tannehill, the

690
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: former receiver, he's not a running quarterback, but he's a

691
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: quarterback who can run. Yes. And when you have all

692
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: those athletes out on the field and they're every down players,

693
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: think of all the teams all of a sudden, who

694
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: are going up tempo. That's the word out of Seahawks camp.

695
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: By the way, is Seattle has been showing a lot

696
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: of up tempo with Russell Wilson. So if you can

697
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: have guys who are every down players and athletes like

698
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: Zaven Collins, Isaiah Simmons, the food of Bakers. Those kind

699
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: of guys who can stay on the field regardless of

700
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: the personnel groups, then that's got to be a big

701
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: time advantage to vance Joseph and company when they're calling

702
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: that d interesting, very interesting. And we know the value

703
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: of a linebacker knowing where he's supposed to be. I'll

704
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: give an example Week seventeen against the Rams. Last year,

705
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: Tanner Valley, Oh, out of nowhere, had twelve tackles in

706
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: a sack because he knows where to be. We'll find

707
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: out who Wolf wants to see tomorrow night in the

708
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: preseason debut against the Cowboys. Next and the Big Red

709
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Next. You know

710
00:36:41,560 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: the steps Benjamin makes, he got a mess. They're gonna

711
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: get a chance to see Eno Benjamin playball again because

712
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: we know a year ago that didn't happen, didn't get

713
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: into a regular season game. There were no preseason games

714
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: or no fans allowed during camp. So now boom tomorrow

715
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: night against the Dallas Cowboys preseason game number one of three.

716
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: And if you're figuring that Chase Edmonds and James Connor

717
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: will get very limited reps, if any at all, then

718
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: guess what, hello, Jonathan Mooard, you know Benjamin edo Smith.

719
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: These are guys who have a chance to put some

720
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: reps down on film. As we wrap up this edition

721
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: to the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and

722
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: Gilbert Paul Kelvic and Ron Wolfley. Yeah, you're right about that, Paulino. Benjamin, though,

723
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: I have to tell you right now. You know, when

724
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: they drafted Eno Benjamin, I compared him to Chase Edmonds,

725
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: and you did. I will continue to say that. I

726
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: think it's an accurate comparison. I think the size, the

727
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: body type, I think the brain, I think the emotion,

728
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I think the spirit, how they go about their business.

729
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: I think it's very very similar. There's it was interesting

730
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: because I had the opportunity to talk to you know,

731
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: Benjamin Paul and you know, Benjamin was talking about that

732
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: very thing. He was talking about how he loves to

733
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: talk to Chase Edmonds. They sit down and they have

734
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: conversations and they watch tape together. I knew these guys

735
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 1: were going to be really good friends, but I also

736
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: knew they were going to be really good competitors as well,

737
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: and that is probably what we're going to see through

738
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: the course of this preseason eno Benjamin competing big time. Well,

739
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: we know you don't have to ask Chase Edmonds twice

740
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: to talk. That's what he does really well, almost as

741
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: good as running the football. So that makes sense there.

742
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: In terms of guys you want to see. Obviously, we

743
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: talked about Zavin Collins, Rondale Moore, no doubt about that. Wolf.

744
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: I had someone in the know compare the potential impact

745
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: of Rondelle Moore to this offense to another rookie receiver

746
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: at Cardinals history. Do you remember a guy by the

747
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: name of an Quon Bolden. Yes, that's them, some tall

748
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: words and expectations. But Rondel Moore is at a few

749
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: moments where he has really flashed. Yeah. But you know what, Pauly,

750
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: that is such a weird comparison right there, because Rondelle Moore,

751
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: as you know, I mean, okay, he's got massive thighs.

752
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: We understand that he can squat six fifty whatever it is, Paul,

753
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I get that, But it was

754
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: on the impact, not the player. Now, Camp is a

755
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: player to play, but he might have on the offense. Okay,

756
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: if he isn't able to take the top off Louit

757
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: be the Jets sweep guy, get the ball and Sebody's right.

758
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: He's so different. He truly is an Quan was not

759
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: going to be a take the top off guy. He

760
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: was going to be throw it to him and get

761
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: out of his way because he was gonna truck you

762
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: or run you over. But listen, as far as things

763
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: that I'm looking for, Paul number one, I'm going to

764
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: start with some personnel information. I'm going to look for

765
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: under center, how many times we have a quarterback that

766
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: is actually under center? Then I'm going to look on

767
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: the defensive site. If in fact they run out to

768
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: start this game, that that three four defense where he

769
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: got Joe Hicks, Avin Collins, Isaiah Simmons on the outside

770
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: and Chandler Jones on the outside. Will they show that

771
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: in a game. They've showed it in practice, why not

772
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: show it in a game? I don't know. I'm looking

773
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: for that as well. Rondale Moore, There's no doubt about it, Polly,

774
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: you hit it right on the head. Rondale Moore. And

775
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: whether or not he shows the ability to get vertical,

776
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how many reps he's gonna get I

777
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: would imagine it be maybe ten, maybe twelve, somewhere in there.

778
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how long they plan on playing them,

779
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: but I'm going to be looking to see if Rondale

780
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: Moore can make some plays, but get vertical in particular,

781
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: Josh Jones as the guy that could be the starting

782
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: right guard in this game, going into a Josh Jones

783
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: in his development, and then Polly Rashard Lawrence, Richard Lawrence

784
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: getting the opportunity to play that one technique over the

785
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: knows Corey Peters. Of course they brought him in. Rashard

786
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence is a mini me, if you will, of Corey

787
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: Peters and these guys are hanging out together. They're really

788
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: good friends. As a matter of fact, where Chard Lawrence

789
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: told me that the biggest influence on the team for

790
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: him is Corey Peters. That's not a surprise to you.

791
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: It's not a surprise to me knowing Corey Peters. And

792
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of question marks here.

793
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: For example, the first team offense, if they go three

794
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: and out, are they done? Will they get a second series?

795
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: My expectation would be yes, what of guys like we're

796
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: Chard Lawrence, who are on that you know that COVID

797
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: list right or actually on the defensive line list would

798
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: deal with injuries. Are some of these guys gonna go

799
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: or not? We'll see about that. And then there's Marco

800
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: Wilson and he's the fourth round rookie, but in terms

801
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: of a skill set and being a corner in the

802
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: size and the measurables, Cardinals had him among the top

803
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: ten corners in the draft just based on the measurables.

804
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: And with that in mind, Marco Wilson was talking about

805
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: some of the advice he's been getting from DeAndre Hopkins.

806
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: He was on the Red Sea Report and said this, Yeah,

807
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: I've actually talked to hop a great amount about things

808
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: I can do to help my game. He's also mentioned

809
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: stuff like because you know him and him and Jay

810
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: Loramzy go at it every year, so he's mentioned a

811
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: lot of things that he does because he knows that's

812
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: a great cornerback, and things that I could do to

813
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: put into my game to make make sure I elevate

814
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: my game every day. So I'm very very appreciative that

815
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: I have a guy like DeAndre Hopkins that I could

816
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: learn from um every day in practice. So it's just

817
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: a blessing to be out here and be able to

818
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: compete every day. Your thought that you know, Yeah, I

819
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: mean there's there's no doubt about it. Pat He and

820
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald used to make each other better in camp, obviously,

821
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: and so all the young corners. That's where you can tell.

822
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: Look for all the practices where no one's hit anyone,

823
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: you can at least watch a cover corner and see

824
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: if he can stay with DeAndre Hopkins and Marco Wilson.

825
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: That's how we knew Robert Alford, right, Robert Alford was

826
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: was given no quarter against DeAndre Hopkins. So now we

827
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: get to see it because to your point, Wolf, not

828
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: only do you need three sometimes you need four corners

829
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: and cardinals, right, And if you have two corners age

830
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: thirty and above and Robert Alford and d and Uh

831
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Butler, then guess what you know, Marco Wilson

832
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: might be imperative to go along with a Byron Murphy

833
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: at some point this season. Yeah, you know, Josh Jones, again,

834
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: this is a guy. I know exactly what you're saying, Paulie,

835
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: but I'm going to be looking at him if in fact,

836
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: Josh Jones gets that opportunity to go out there and

837
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of reps. And I'm hoping that he

838
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: is going to get that opportunity to do it. Paul.

839
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: I want to see him come off the ball. He's

840
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: got everything you'd want from an offensive lineman. He's got

841
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: the skill, he's got the technique. Now he's just got

842
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: to go out there and blow somebody off the ball.

843
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: And I'll throw out there tight end after Max Williams,

844
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: who arguably is having the best camp of anyone on

845
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: that field based on what I've seen. After that, Wow,

846
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: is it wide open? I mean, you got a bunch

847
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: of guys that no one's ever heard of. I'll give

848
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 1: you a complete name off the radar. He was signed

849
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: the other day. He's got one practice under his belt.

850
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: Demetrius Harris. He's going into his eighth year. He's wearing

851
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: number eighty six. He's six seven, two thirty and wolf.

852
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: He made three really slick catches. The dude can move

853
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: and he can catch, and I can tell you right

854
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: now he raised some eyebrows from some of the personnel

855
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,919
Speaker 1: guys in the sideline. I think eighty six Demetrius Harris

856
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: is gonna get a lot of reps. And guess what,

857
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: whether you're Demetrius Harris, whether you're Ross Travis, whether you're

858
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: Bernhard's psycho, it's mandatory psycho. There is a chance for

859
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: a tight end to make an impression and try and

860
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: be the fackup to Max Williams. Yeah, there's no doubt.

861
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 1: A bonnet. Who's eighty two? Paul eighty two? A sere Butchelly.

862
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: All I see is Andre Butchelli making plays all over

863
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: the field. And I saw Chris Cliff Kingsbury walk by

864
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: him and look at him and shake his head and

865
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: really get him pumped up and saying I see you,

866
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: I see that was really cool. Ball the other off

867
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: the radar guard Michael Dogby, who will get a lot

868
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: of reps with all the d linemen out there. You go.
