Here's Paul Calvec Holly Wood, Holly Wood and Ron will Flint. It doesn't get any better than that horse. Unleash the fiard. Mister Ron Wolfley, you heard this scientific term new for twenty twenty two, TikTok brain. No, I have not, Polly. It's a big story in the journal
this week. Researchers have actually done brain scans to confirm that TikTok brain is real, extremely real, Ron Wolfley, it is on. I quickly define it the dopamine rush of endless short videos, which makes it hard for young viewers to switch their focus to slower moving activities, and a result says you might imagine in a decreased attention span
plus human who's easily distracted. While Polly, you know what, Honestly, I am distracted, and I know you know that I am so distracted so much of the time for so many different reasons. But it's not because of TikTok. Yeah, you are ahead of your time. You know, it's not just kids. It's not just kids who suffer from, as I read here, making it harder for kids to sustain.
Activities do not provide instant and constant satisfaction. Yes, Paul, Now, I bring this up not only because of its relation to you, Ron Wilfley, even though it has nothing to do with TikTok. Once again, you are the outlier in
the study, Okay, you are the anomaly. I bring this up because I feel like maybe I'm suffering from TikTok brain in that in that everything that has gone on since the last edition of The Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert, right, I mean this last edition, we were on the air, We're talking about stinking mock drafts, and think of everything that has gone down. That feels like so two months ago and it was only a matter of a few days. Yeah, a couple of things
on this, Paul. Number one, I don't know about TikTok, but your forehead's big enough to play TikTok toe that much. I do know. That's number one, Paul. And I would also say, yeah, there has been an awful lot that has transpired, has there not? In the NFL Draft and the Arizona Cardinals in will this be a different team than a year ago? Yes, indeed it will, and we will hear from their first round pick, ostensibly in Marquise
Hollywood Brown was acquired from the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, you know, I mean there I was on stage wolf at the draft party, and all of a sudden in the year, you know, on the year piece, So like blah ba, we just traded for Marquise Hollywood Brown and he'll be here in a matter of moments. Did you believe that? Honestly? I mean when you first heard that, Because when I first got the text, I was like, knock it off. I thought, well, I believe the trade.
I was pretty sure I believe the trade. I thought when they said he's gonna I'm like it would be via satellite up on the JumboTron. I didn't know he'd actually be there in person, which he was a matter of moments later. And you know what, the next day we had a chance to sit down to Marquise hollywo Brown and we're gonna hear that. Okay, momentarily on the Big Red Rage. But there's been some news in between.
And I'd rather take forehead jokes all night than read the following that DeAndre Hopkins has been suspended without pay for the first six games of the twenty twenty two regular season for violating the NFL Policy on Performance enhancing substances. Your reaction, Ron Wilfin, Yeah, Polly, what a bummer this is to actually hear this. Um. Listen, there are guys out there. They put a lot of stuff into their body. They do the best they can to get in shape.
I have no idea the particulars, of course, what DeAndre Hopkins and what it means and what it says about him and his career. I really don't. I just know this. The fact is d hop is not going to be there for the Arizona Cardinals in the first six weeks of the season. That's what I know. How does that change the dynamic of this team? I don't know, Polly, We're gonna find out. But man, I don't know about you.
I'm really really happy Marcus Brown is here that much, I will tell you, and not some rookie wide receiver that they drafted number twenty three overall. Yeah, you in the head coach Cliff Kingsbury. In fact, here's Coach Cliff talking about Marquise Hollywood Brown. It's just the fit in this Cardinals offense that has a lot of similarities to Oklahoma, more playmakers. We can have the better dynamic guy who can take the top off inside outside, And you know,
I think he's just scratching the surface. We really feel like he fits what we do. Played in a similar scheme in college there ATWU with Lincoln, and so it should be a quick learning curve as well. And you know what, and astute observation, Well, this isn't some rookie where you're gonna wonder is he going to be regular season ready week one. There have been plenty of rookie receivers will look great in August and then failed to produce in September. You have no idea until regular season
games get going. But that is not the case with Marquise Hollywood. Brown not only a proven thousand yard receiver, but obviously as a few years in the league, has familiarity with the playbook, has instant chemistry with the quarterback. So to what degree do you think it will be plug and play man, Yeah, that's the question, PAULA. I really don't know. I don't know what it's going to look like. I don't know what they're gonna do. I suspect, Paul,
and this is my own suspicion. Nobody has told me this, but I suspect we're going to see a lot more twelve personnel. Paul. You know the way I feel about this. I've talked to you about it before in the past. Right, twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, two wide receivers, and rundown situation first and ten and second and one to six. That rundown situation I think is going to be the biggest evolution of this offense going forward. Twelve personnel,
more two tight ends and rundown situation. Now, whether that's Max Williams and Zach Ertz or whether that Is zach Ertz and Trey McBride. That remains to be seen, Paulie, but I do believe we're going to see a lot more of that, and because of it, you could build an argument. I don't agree necessarily with the argument, but you could build an argument that Marquis Brown is going
to mean more. He's gonna mean more because of the run by guy, that he is over the top than what d Hop would actually provide in terms of actually being that much better than a J. Green. And by the way, for the record, the media did ask Cliff Kingsbury whether he was going to run thirteen personnel now that so we'll see if he's sandbagging or not out of necessity. We'll see, you know, Marky's Hollywood. Brown thinks he escaped the Ravens offense, and Greg Roman maybe not
the first six games. Cardinals might be running three tight ends. We'll see about that. Yeah, you know, honestly, right now, I cannot wait to see it when d Hop does get back. When he does get back, oh my goodness, look out, because what Marcus Brown brings to this offense is exactly what they need. And it's not just a track guy. It's not just a guy who's wanted a four three five. It's a guy that is a good wide receiver who will catch the ball down the field
if you throw it up to him. Oh my goodness, that is exactly what this offense needed. By the way, coming up Marquis Hollywood Brown, I do ask him how fast are you? Because you know, a lot of people think that he's definitely a sub four three guy if he would have been healthy coming out of Okooma with a foot and he would have run at the combine,
which he never did. Quentin Harris, the VP of Player Personnel, this week on the Pash Podcast, and he was just talking about what lies straight ahead for Markis Brown here with the Cardinals. Hollywood's opportunity. He's gonna have more opportunity here than he did in Baltimore. So I think that's the biggest thing, because you know, even though we do have a solid run game, we're gonna throw the ball around. We're gonna use four wide, five wide at times, so
you know, the opportunity. If you're a receiver, you want the ball. So I think it was, you know, the differences offenses for Hollywood is going to be very good for him. Looks all you've got to say, Paulie, is this right here that Marquis Brown has never played with a wide receiver like dhob never that much, I know. Okay, Yeah, you're not gonna have him for the first six games. Okay, there's eleven more after that, by the way, So Marquis Brown will never have played with a guy the caliber
of DeAndre Hopkins. That's gonna help Marquis Brown. Forget about the fact Marquis Brown is going to help the Hoppin zach Ertz, especially when they're running that short to intermediate stuff over the middle of the field in particular. Oh yeah, he's gonna help them a lot, provide a lot of aid comfort from shelter, loosen up that secondary, no doubt about it. But you gotta remember, this is a guy that had ninety one receptions himself for over a thousand yards.
This is a guy that is super explosive on the outside, who can hold up on his own. What is the hop gonna do for Marquise Brown when he gets back. Well, you had Lincoln Riley, now the USC coach, on this week at eight seven FM Arizona Sports, and you just asked him a Marquis Brown, right, and just his ability as a receiver more than just a earner. And his speed. Guy, here's Lincoln Riley. Everybody sees a speed like anybody on
earth can see. This guy's pretty fast. But on top of it, most people aren't able to track a ball running full speed down the field with another guy hanging all over you. Most most people can't track the ball at the level that this guy can. And so it's a cool combination. Who throws a better deep ball, Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson. Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson would
tell you that. And here's the other thing that I liked hearing from Lincoln Riley because I listened to an interview Wolf and he's not the first one to say it that Marky's Hollywood Brown is a competitor. This dude, this dude is really competitive in practice. He's all in. He cares about it a lot. He's all ball. I mean,
he's really into football. And if you if you get to know his backstory and how he spent a year at at junior college and just the way he defied the odds to end up at Oklahoma and the NFL, you know, I think that matters, that it matters to him to such a big yeah. No, you're right, Polly, And again I wonder what this offense is going to look like. I love the signings, of course of the
off season. I love all the tea leaves, so to speak, that we're reading right now and where the offense is headed and where all of this information and these signings actually point to. But we're gonna have to wait and see, Polly, because it's not going to look the same until d Hop obviously gets back. Yeah, and this just didn't The Cardinals didn't look good on offense without d Hop, Yes, and last year, and that is a fact. And coach
Cliff keeps taking the blame and maybe rightfully so. But was it really the play calling or was it more the lack of playmakers? And so we'll see. Sean McVay had to evolve his system and he did after a three game losing streak, and it took him all the way to the Super Bowl. So now it's in the Cardinals offensive coach's court and they got to try and figure this out. And by the way, a little bit
later we'll talk about Mexico City. That was the other headline this week Cardinal Niners Week eleven Monday Night Football. That'll be Thanksgiving Week? How about that? And season tickets available now at State Farm Stadium This year. Matchups include ram Seahawks, Yes, Buck Saints, Chiefs, Chargers, Patriots, and Eagles. How about that? Godasy Cardinals dot com slash season for more ticket info. Marquise Hollywood Brown next on the Big
Red Rate presented by Santan Poord and Gilbert Jackson. I'm burned down one of the throw going deep looking for Hollywood Brown and zol touch stop Hollywood Row. Surprise, surprise. He is a guy that makes sense for a number of reasons. Number one, two years of control costs, getting a dynamic receiver who's played inside outside obviously, the chemistry with our quarterback, and a guy who can be a dynamic vertical thread, which is something we were looking for
as well. As I had a very strong feeling that the board was going to fall away. It did, and I'm awfully glad that we made this trade. Yeah, Steve Kind wasn't kidding. It was a surprise all around. Not only did the NFL, but Cardinal's nation yours truly. I was up on stage or the draft party in in a matter of a half hour, Hollywood Brown was on stage with yours truly intean and you're still smiling. I mean, here we are and you're still smiling. Man. Just this
has been all good all around for you, hasn't it. Yes, it's been. It's been amazing. It's been funny. By the way, the owner was up on stage and actually get this side of the way, right off the top, he was consistently calling you Hollywood. Okay, but that's Michael Bidwall, he's the owner. Can we call you Hollywood? Do you like being called Hollywood? Oh yeah, I have no issue. Uh yeah, you can call me considering you have an ecklas on right now, that says Hollywood, right yeah. Yeah, it's good
for a business. But that that nickname didn't come until Oklahoma is because before that you were known as Jet and that was obviously based on your speed, right yeah, and getting caught out since I was like eight years old. So how did Hollywood come into play? Gus Johnson, the announcer, called me that it was a game I broke the school record, had like two hundred and sixty five yards, and from that point on everyone just called me, Hollywood, So I kind of just embraced it's good. That's good.
So what sort of surprise was it to you? Because I told you we were on stage and they're talking in my ear and they're like, the trade just went down and oh, by the way, he's gonna be here in thirty minutes, and I'm like, wow. And how long did you have to hold on to that secret? H A A couple of days. I was holding on to it. I mean it was in the worse for it something quite some time. You know, I knew it was a
possibility that it could happen. But when I finally knew that it actually wasn't gonna happen, you know, it was kind of it was kind of hard it just keep it, keep going because you had to keep it from Kyler as well. Yes, yes, what's the reaction been from Kyler? We know he sent the text messenger Steve Kine with the fireball emojis. How about with you? He's incided, Uh,
we don't. We don't talk to each other, like even though we've been spending in the last two weeks with each other, we've been calling a nut style because it's actually not happened. So we both excited. How colose are you too? We're very close. Kyler was like my host when I when I took my visit to Oklahoma, and since we got there, you know, he wasn't a starter and I wasn't a starter, so we were together from it all the way through. So we're very close. And
you guys have been throwing in Texas this off season. Yeah? Nice? Nice? So how much chemistry is there already once you get into this season, you know, get the training camp. I mean, how much chemistry have you guys already navigated down that learning curve? A lot of chemistry. He knows how I think, I know how he thinks, I know what he what he likes. So I'm excited. I think it was ten of his touchdowns in his Heisman campaign went to you and his tweet was, let's run it back. Yeah, okay?
Is that plausible? Is that feasible? Is that do? How realistic is that you guys can recapture that sort of production. I think it's very reasonable. I mean, we're far from college and we're even better players than we were back then, so I think we just got to get to work and really see how we could do it. Marquise Hollywood Brown, our guests here on the Big Red Rage. We were the GM Steve Khmer, this kind of report you taught us about your play? What can Cardinals fans expect from
Hollywood Brown? Spent a lot of big plays. I mean, I played with a lot of passion, a lot of excitement, and you know, however, I gotta do it, you know, to help the team win. I'm definitely gonna do it. How fast are you? I know it's a simple question, but it's not a simple answer because you didn't run the forty at the combine, So I mean, what how do you answer that when people ask you? I just say I'm very fast, and they're like, how fast are you?
It's your forty? I'm glad. I don't know. I never get to run it, so I don't never got to run it. So we're just gonna keep in the mystery. I've seen speculation though, if you were healthy, you would have been a sub four three guy. Yeah, accurate, definitely, definitely accurate. Okay, so how does that translate into a game. For example, I've heard it said also you using a secondary and I remember JJ Nelson was a four two
eight guy. Played for the Cardinals a few years ago, and he said he break the I'll only go out to the ex receiver and the DBS would literally say, hey, don't run that four two eight now, and they back up, they take a couple extra steps. Do you literally witness yourself and your speed? And the Scotter reports loosening a secondary h Yeah, definitely. I mean, since I've been in the league, you know, I'm probably up there for the most cushion in the league. Guys don't already impress me
that much, and it opens things up for everyone. So I'm so happy that you know, I'm part of this group because you know, we got guys who can attack on all levels of the field. So it's gonna be very hard to contain us. How familiar are you with this offense just from your Oklahoma days? Because Cliff Kingsbury stided, you know what, we run a system that's pretty darn similar to Lincoln Riley. Yeah, definitely. You know they come
from the same tree. Uh you know testas test recruited me and you know they was they had a good run, and I'm pretty familiar with you know already. The stuff I've been hearing is pretty similar to clip joke about that that he tried to recruit you at Texas Tech. Uh. Yeah, he's he's a you know, it's uh he glad that I'm finally on his team and I have to play against him, right. I think he said the same thing
with Kyler as well. Yeah, that's good Hollywood Brown, our guest considering this offense versus a Baltimore Ravens offense that look, I mean, Lamar Jackson obviously dynamic, but I think of the Ravens offense, I think of a run first, run heavy offense, a lot of tight ends. How much more potential can you unlock in your own game just based on this scheme? Yeah, I think I haven't even showcase anything I really could do in the NFL yet. Like I said, I'm such a guy, you know that whatever
the team asked me to do, I'm gonna do. And that's what I did in Baltimore. You know, I was happy with my time there, and you know, I'm very exited the potential that I can I can do in this offense. And I'm guessing you're looking forward to Kyler's deep ball. He throws one of the best deep balls in the league. Doesn't he Yeah, definitely. Are you strictling an outside receiver or do you see yourself as more versatile than that? Yeah? I could play all over wherever
they need me. Really. Yeah, little quarterback action, that's good. That's good. I mean, you know, so you consider this offense a very good fit? Yes, sir? Okay? All right? Uh? And how familiar do you think you'll be with it? Will it be you know, a learning curve through camp or are you gonna be good to go? You think by week one? I think I'm gonna be good to go. Uh. You know it's my it's my job, my priority, So I'll be good to And I bet you're looking forward
to the sunshine in Arizona. Definitely, definitely definitely didn't like the cold, so I'm happy about that. I've heard you're also very competitive in practice, true or false? Very true? Where does that come from? Um? Just growing up? And you know my ties with ab um just you want to practice how you really want to play. So when I'm in practice, I envision myself. You know, when I catch this slant, I'm gonna take it to the end zone.
Even though we might be practicing at the ten down here I'm gonna take it to the end zone because that's what I'm gonna doing the game. So just bringing that energy so when you win the game, it makes it a lot easier. So, as a guy whose Twitter handle was Primetime Underscore Jet, what was like to fly with Michael Bidwell on the team plane? It was crazy? He flies to hisself, So, you know, just getting up there and seeing how everything went down was it was
pretty exciting. Yeah, that was that was pretty amazing. There's no doubt about it. I mean, you made it to the draft party and now you're here to stay. So Marquise Hollywood Brown, we look forward to congratulations on everything. Thank you, I appreciate you guys. There you go, Hollywood Brown here on the Big Red Rape presented by Satan
Pord and Gilbert Back. Right after this, the Arizona Cardinals select trade McBride, Cameron Thomas j standard pick up down, he goes, goes carls Day, Candon traffic early pick and then mccride with a catch of the sideline flung down by Cameron Thomas from my James Standers. Ross got himselves a birthday on the Pride. He's got a star town say there's your day two picks rounds two and three.
Get to know him. They're gonna be given every single chance to figure into the rotation effective immediately for the years. On A Cardinals twenty twenty two Welcome back into the Big Red Rage, presented by santan ford Ian Gilbert Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley's special thanks to Marquise Hollywood Brown and
by the way, great to hear from him. We obviously heard from him the morning after the Thursday night first round, so that was less than twenty four hours after the trade was official and before the DeAndre Hopkins news, So just an fyi on that one. Some of the quick takeaways, wolf I don't know what stood out to you, but you know, he confirmed he's he's. His word was definitely when I asked him if he's a sub four three guy. He was very bullish on trying to recapture that chemistry
and that productivity with Kyler Murray. I liked how he cited that, and he talked about this little later too, the analytics that he's been up among the league leaders for most cushion in the league by DBS, and his words how it opens it up for everyone else in the offense, which is exactly what the Cardinals had in mind when they traded for him, I presume. And then the last thing is when he said, you know what, I haven't even had a chance to showcase what I
can do in the NFL. Yet you know what, PAULI That to me was what resonated the most with me. It is all I could think of was DeAndre Hopkins. I'm sorry. I know that he's not going to play for the first six weeks and that really does suck, Buttermilk, there's no other way to cut it. It does. Yet at the same time, that to me is what I'm so fascinated. Listen, Marquis Brown is suddenly going to change what the Arizona Cardinals are going to be able to do.
Even when he doesn't get the ball, Paul, yep. And even when he doesn't get the ball, he's going to get impact. What a defense is gonna do to defend DeAndre Hopkins and Zach Ertz, especially over the middle of the field. He's going to open up a lot when he doesn't get the ball. But when he does, and this is what I was talking about, he's an excellent option to get the ball himself to get open to run by people and suddenly throw the ball down the field.
What is d hop gonna do for Marquise Brown. That's gonna be something that he's gonna have to get used to because he's not had a DeAndre Hopkins opposite of him. Yeah, win healthy when they have all their weapons. I think this fulfills Cliff Kingsbury's original vision of forcing a defense to defend every blade of grass. You now have the burner over the top, you got DeAndre Hopkins and maybe aj Green working the sidelines. You have two maybe three tight ends going at the seams. You have a Rondel
Mare all over the place. Laterally maybe crossers what have you, maybe more downfield, but you really are able to stretch that defense, not unlike warriors or sons right where you stretch the floor and you try and make a defense, you know, play to every single square inch of space out there. And when they have that compliment, and that's a big reason I presume they went after the tight end in round two and Trey McBride. We heard some
of the highlights right there. Dang. So Steve Kime was asked for a scatter report because I think we were all ear holed by that nobody saw a tight end coming in round two of this draft. Here's a general manager. People ask, what do you like about him? I don't know what's there not to like about them? You know, special human, special player, rare stats, obviously over a thousand yards receiver as a tight end, ninetiesome catches. The guy
can do it all. He can play inline, he can flex, he can motion, he can play out of the backfield. He's got tremendous hands, great catching radius, really strong in a crowd, characters off the charts, three time captain, phenomenal leader, and just thankful he was there. And if they're not willing to give a timetable on mat X Williams, and there's true uncertainty there about when he might be available, then that makes even more sense why they went Trey
McBride in round two. Yeah, and once again, I'm sorry, Paul, but it signals a paradigm shift in this offense away from eleven personnel and more towards twelve personnel. That that doesn't mean they're not going to use eleven personnel, don't. I mean hear he'd by words, and hear them well they're gonna use three y They are going to do that, but this is going to we're gonna see more twelve personnel,
two tight ends. You're not going to sign Zach Ertz as a free agent, which was very, very cool when they did it. He's going to be the move tight end, but you're not going to sign him to a three year contract, PAULI and not play him. He's going to play. You're not gonna draft Trey McBride even though he was the highest player rated on your board and not use him. Well, guess what, Trey McBride, what's so cool about him? He can either be your stud tight end line up where
Max Williams typically would line up. If Max isn't ready to go, or if he's still rehabbing, maybe Trey McBride is going to get the opportunity to line up and be the stud tight end, or he could be the move tight end, the h he could be the why or the age Paulie. And that's the great thing about it. He could either start in either one of those positions, or he could back up either one of those positions
or both. Paul Yeah, I've had multiple people in the war room confirmed that well, if that they love the fact you can play in line, he can flex out, you can go in motion, they can put him in the backfield. He ran a four five four forty, so he has that athleticism plus, as Steve Kinme also said, it is a pick for the future. Zach Ertz in his early thirties, Max Williams in his late twenties. You got a guy in line was the same age bracket as a Kyler Murray and a Marquis Hollywood Brown. So okay,
there's your core of guys. And so that's a Trey McBride who came from Colorado State, and that was in round two. Then in round three, the first pick in round three Cameron Thomas out of San Diego State six four two sixty seven, a second team All American. And here's Quentin Harris, VP of Player Personnel on the pashpod. When it comes to Cam Thomas, Cam he's super athletic. And what you loved about Cam is you loved his interview, You love the intensity, but and you love the way
he played the game. And also with Cam is he showed some ability to put his hand in the ground and play some of the five play some of the outside backer stuff due to his athleticism. So we really loved his motor, his temperament. Yeah, the word is huge motor in Cats. All out effort is what they say about this guy. Production off the charts. And look when it comes to Cameron Thomas and my J Sanders in this round three to meet, it was production over projection.
They went with guys who actually posted numbers, even though my J. Sanders didn't finish a number of sex and we'll get to that in a minute. But with Cam Thomas, man, the numbers are there, yes, Polly, And this is what I love too, what you just said right there, that
you've got this production over projection. I love it. Kyle Van Deenbosch, as a matter of fact, was talking about this very thing, how he wanted to see the Cardinals draft guys with a high floor, which is a great way of saying it as opposed to a high ceiling. Give me a high floor. This is what this guy's baseline is going to be right here, and I think
they really did that in this draft. I'm gonna be really interested to see how they're gonna use Cameron Thomas, of course, and how often they will stick his hand in the dirt and bring him off the edge. But you have to remember, once again, one of the strengths of Vans Joseph was the fact that he was a master schemer. Paul the ability to actually bring five generate
pressure with five complex pressure packages. That's one of the reasons why he became a head coach up in Denver, because he built this reputation for being a guy that could do that well. In twenty twenty, as I've discussed, where Chandler Jones had one sack in five games, the Arizona Cardinals finished number five in sacks per attempt. Ask yourself this, why did that happen? They had some talented guys that were involved in rushing the passer. That's you
know what, scheme wise, that's all they needed. They needed a break and that's what Vance Joseph gave them. This is what I think Cam is really going to benefit from Cam Thomas is the fact that he's going to be in this high pressure scheme bring five. You just don't know which five are coming. I think these guys Sanders and Thomas have a chance to contribute, he said. He told the media quote, I'm an edge rusher even though he admits he does have the potential to move
inside to a five technique when and if needed. Okay, and then there's My J. Sanders. So whereas Cameron Thomas has traits of a JJ Watt a little bit few traits anywhere he wore number ninety nine, they look at My J. Sanders and they say he has traits of a Chandler Jones, just in terms of the body type. In the length six five two forty something. He has
those long arms. Once again, Quentin Harris on the Pashpod talking about the round three pick out of Cincinnati, Maj. You look at his numbers, You're like, they're kind of a whole hum. But if you really study the tape and you really study how disrupt if this guy is uh Maja, you're getting a guy that is a tempo center um plays with his hair on fire, tons of upside. Now he's gonna have to work on finishing rushes because he missed about seven sacks just because he's you know,
he plays with that temple in that effort. So there's little details that all these guys need to work on, But specifically Maj is just gonna have to just to slow down a little bit interesting ahead. His sixty two total pressures real quick led the conference, but if you're looking, might didn't have more sacks. I found that interesting when Quinn Harris said, there he just didn't finish enough. What's amazing about Sanders to me is he is long, and
he does look like a young Chandler Jones. Okay, And I would tell him, right now, go ahead and just rip every pass rush of Chandler Jones. Watch every every pass rush of Chandler Jones. That's what I would do right there. If I were my Jay Harris, I would do that thing right. I'd watch it and study it because he's long, just like Chan was. You know. It's interesting Also, Kim had cited how he played his best games and the biggest games. They got to see him
against an Alabama. They got to see him against a Notre Dame and go against guys like an Evan Neil. So that film goes a long way. When you play at Cincinnati and they can see you against a Notre Dame offensive line, that sort of thing, and they can see how disruptive he can still be. Now well, real quick, I mean they have a need opposite of Marcus Golden. How realistic, feasible, and doable is it that one of these two guys could actually be part of a rotation
on the edge week one. You know, Pouli on the edge. I think week one, there's a real pability that, Yeah, they're going to contribute, They're going to line up and I could see one of them starting Week one. I could see that on the edge in certain third and obvious pass situations or just obvious pass situations period, I could see that Pauli. Once again, because you're going to scheme a lot of your pressure. There are three ways
basically to get pressure. You scheme pressure, you've got covered sacks, or you're just better then where you line four guys up and you just get to the quarterback because you're better than the five guys trying to block you. I think the Cardinals are going to have to do it
via scheme and coming off the edge. Paul. For the most part, it's a pretty simple thing to do, and that's one of the reasons why I think a rookie that is going to truly play the edge, I think we'll be able to contribute because hey, it's line up and go get the quarterback. Let MoMA and Papa take over. Would you agree that if there's a time time sign between now and camp, it's gonna come at edge rusher
and or d tackle. Yes, yes, I think defensive tackle, maybe even corner bully, maybe even something where bringing a veteran corner and Robert Alfred I could see. I could see that happening, and I would do it. There are some other guys that are out there as well. Kyle Fuller is still out there, a guy that had a very disappointing season with the Denver Broncos last year, signed
a one year contract for nine point five. Hey, listen, Kyle, we got the opportunity if you possibly possibly coming here and earning a starting spot that I'm sure would be tantalizing. You're coinn and Harris. There a couple of sound bites. It's episode twenty nine of the Day Pash Podcast, featuring the Cardinals Vice President of Player Personnel coin Harris. It's available now. To catch up on past episodes followed Daypash Podcast via your preferred podcast provider and get the latest
updates via Twitter at pash pod. Some great stuff on the draft and if you notice I didn't mention offensive line as a kid time sign as because the Cardinals are bullish on especially a couple of guards they got and day three and if you're looking for the rookie, you might have the quickest path to reps an actual game time right away. It might be the running back in round six out of the USC We'll cover all that and talk about the Cardinals big road trip in
Mexico City. It is now official. It is a big red rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford for a shot into the end zone here Johnson the lead of the laft bolt, the fitzgalda right time at agel back to help protect Josh mccount. There than one of the seventeen account back to twelve going a lot in the end zone far side, Fitzjoel goals up topical for summer Orry Fitzgiel for the second of
the year. I'm on that day, fash. Yes, that was from Mexico City circa two thousand and five, first year on the air together as a collective voice of the Arizona Cardinals, and all these years later, Ron Wolfley, I would say, in my humble opinion that Mexico City road Trip is still top five all time in the nearly two decades we've been doing this. Would you agree or disagree? Yeah, Bull,
I would agree right there. It's interesting to hear the bird Dave pass, it'll bottle, very interesting ball calling that right there. You know. And every time you bring up Mexico City, you know what I talk about? Okay, the first thing I think of is every time they kicked the ball off, they went nuts. Remember half ball? The crowd went nuts every time Neil was it Neil Rockers. Yeah, back then when you see the ball off and kick it off ball, the crowd would explode and you knew,
you knew that was gonna happen. Because we're doing the pregame show. It's two hours before kickoff and there's already fifty thousand people in their seats, and as the kickers and punters are warming up, the crowd's going nuts. Anybody who kicked a pigskin got a standing ovation because you know,
it's soccer crazy. I mean, it is hallowed ground as Stadio Azteca when it comes to football, right, and when it comes to soccer and what they call football in Mexico, and it's gonna be Monday Night Football Week eleven, November twenty first fucking Achman on the call. So there you go. That's official now as Stadio Azteca Cardinals and forty nine Ers. The remaining schedule comes out next Thursday, May twelfth. I'll call it. You know how cavernous attack is right? Oh
my goodness. That is the other thing too, how cavernick. That is a huge structure. I've been on the sidelines in ann Arbor, at the Big House and as Stadio Asteca dwarfst in a lot of ways, it is ginormous. It's just it's amazing site and it's higher elevation than Flagstaff. Keep that in mind. That's why Neil Rackers wanted he had six fuel goals and that win against the Niners in two thousand and five, he wanted a shot at a seventy yard fuel goal. Yeah, that's this because of
the light air. He was convinced he was gonna drill a seven yard field goal. He never got the opportunity. Yes, of course, he had the fans behind him to do that, Paul, and you know it, yep. So if you don't have your day three Arizona Cardinals draft picks memorized, Okay, I got you here. Keyanta Ingram, running back out of USC in round six. Licida Smith also in round six, the guard out of Virginia Tech six three three fourteen. Then
in round seven he had three picks. Chris Matthew, this six two corner out of Valdosta State with an eighty inch wingspan, by the way, and by the way of Baldosta State currently has two active corners in the NFL, including Kenny Moore of the Colts. If he didn't know that, Jesse Luke Hatta, the linebacker out of Penn State he was in round seven as well, might be inside, might be outside. And then Marquis Hayes, the guard out of
Oklahoma six five three eighteen. All he did was started his final thirty seven games at left guard for Oklahoma, and he was second team All Big Twelve. But if I was asking which one of those guys you think might have the quickest pat to real action in a game, who would you say? Yeah, you know what, Paulie. Honestly, listen, it's not like I've sat down and watched an awful lot of tape on these guys. But can I just say right now the person that I'm most interested in
is number two fifteen, Lacida Smith. Okay, oh, did you hear what he said after Baulunity. He just wants a chance. He wants the chance to be able to compete and start. He wants the chance. He just wants to be given the opportunity to guess what, Lacidas, You're gonna get that opportunity. He's gonna get that opportunity to compete and to make the team and make the roster. He's gonna be given that opportunity. And when you hear a guys say that, man,
that's intriguing to me. Paul right, the confidence level that he displayed, he told the media, and you're gonna like this quote. I pack a punch in the run game. I come off the ball with a lot of power. That was Lacida Smith. Here's Quinn Harris, the VP of Player person on the Pass when he was asked about the Cardinals sixth round pick out of Virginia Tech. I really like Lucida Smith, our guard we took out of Virginia Tech. This guy is athletic, he's an excellent pooler.
He's tough, he's physical, and a lot of times you know, you watch NFL lineman and you're like, ah, he's tough, he's strong, but he's slow footed. This guy is everything. He was a steel in my opinion, for us, He's one guy that once he gets his opportunity, it's it's gonna be tough to remove him from the seat. And I think you know his temperament. And again when we talk about bringing these A and B football characters at
guys in, he's one of those guys. He's a former high school tight end who was moved to offensive line, hence the feat and Wolf. I don't know how you you really diagnose the right guard position right now, but if you're looking at Will Hernandez obviously, but then you have Justin Murray, who you figure is gonna be healthy by that time training camp rolls around. So I don't know how you handicap that right guard spot or how
wide open it might be. You know what, Paul, Once again, I think Will Hernandez is going to be given the opportunity day one to go out and win that job, and I think that he will. But it doesn't mean that there's not going to be some type of competition. Justin Murray, you bring that up. That's a great to me. That was a big loss for the Arizona Cardinals. And I know nobody's gonna say that, Paully. Nobody's gonna say but you know, Paul, because you were there, You saw that.
You were on the sideline. Yes, indeed, the sideline reporter with a belt high perspective. You saw it. Though, Paul, let me say this. You know what I saw. I saw a quarterback who didn't have confidence in the right guard position. That's what I saw, and it had a big effect, especially when they played the Rams those last two games. Here's what I like, Paully about what Lucida Smith said. I like the fact that he was saying
he fancies himself to be a brawler. Okay, now I'm paraphrasing what he said, but he was saying, and you already hinted at this, his strength he felt was the run game coming off the ball, baby, doing it with a dark heart and a painted face coming off the ball and ripping the bloody knuckles up through somebody's face mask. That to me is what gets me fired up, because you're not gonna say that unless you really believe that about yourself. You're not going to say it, because guess
what lacide is. We're all gonna find out. We're gonna get a great opportunity to find out if you're really gonna do that, And if you're not gonna do it, why would you say it. I don't think Lucida Smith was saying anything that was ridiculous. I think he was stating what he believes he is. And that's the thing I can't wait to see. Let's see it in training camp. All right, So who's my date three? Pick? Right to get? You know, thanks for asking me. Ingram the running back
out of USC. Just the fact that you can't you can't run James Connor into the ground, and that backup running back spot I think is wide open. And when this kid comes in, it's six foot two twenty. He considers himself quote a true three down running back, big time recruit and went to Texas and then transfer to USC. A bigger back who can run between the tackles, can move in space, can catch the football. I think, especially at that position where we've seen rookies assimilate right away
to the NFL. I think, you know, Benjamin and Jonathan Moore, they have a competition on their hands from Kante Ingram. And once again, why would you get a guy that big, Paul, why would you Why would you not get a guy more like Chase Edmonds as opposed to James Connor? Why why would you do that? Paul? Are you gonna go ahead and read into that? Is that what you're saying, Paul, You're saying the guy's six foot two hundred twenty pounds can run the ball in between the tab? Yeah, that's
what I would say. Is this is all pointing to way more traditional, more use of a more traditional, more power schemed offense. Now are we going to see it? I don't know, but Paul, thinking of the Tennessee Titans and blending eleven personnel with the new era offense with twelve personnel in the more traditional offense, I'm sorry, but that's what I think of the Tennessee Titans and their offense,
which is killer when they do it right. Is that something that Cliff Kingsbury could scheme up for Kyler Murray in this offense? Yeah, based on what we're seeing in the signings, Yes, I think that's what we could see. And by the way, when the Cardinals go to Nashville for that joint practice with the Titans. Man, there's gonna
be a lot of storylines. I mean, the Titans right now are tracking to have the most drama of any team in the league with this whole Ryan Tannehill situation and Malik willis coming in and I'm not going to mentor him, and then he's not showing up for the OTAs because he has a quote home renovation. He's seen too.
So Ryan Tannehill, the franchise quarterback, hasn't been there. And now there's reports from Adam Schefter that they actually tried in the offseason to trade for Aaron Rodgers or try and get to Shaun Watson instead of Ryan Tannehill, who, by the way, there's no guaranteed money coming his way next season, so they're looking to pull the trigger, you know, the hook on him. So you watched that whole week is going to be really interesting. That joint practice against
the type, Yes, PAULI. And by the way, if in fact I did have plans of combining that eleven and twelve personnel, the old and the new man, why not go practice against those guys, that would make a lot of sense. Yes. Rookie minicamp by the way is next weekend starts a week from today or so. Special thanks as always Senior broadcast Manager and producer Jim Almohundro Technical Director Cody Fincher.
