Here's Paul KELVC. Get the popcorn ready, It's gonna be a show and Ron will flip. It doesn't get any better than that. Hors unleash the far The fear debate in the Big Red ball Room might be over and done with, but definitely not here on the Big Red Rage. There the hay is in the barn

Ron Wolfley. Here, I have a feeling the haymakers are about to fly over the next hour. Why's that balling? I just don't get the sense we're on the same page. Based on the instigator, the hit and run artist on the text messages, Dave Pash, you're just starting arguments as to which direction in the Arizona Cardinals should go. Next Thursday night, one week from tonight, The Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford,

Paul Kelbs here, Ron Wolfley there. On Tuesday, we'll have a special pre draft edition of The Big Red Rage. By the way, and Dave Pash, Oh, you'll have your chance, tough guy. Okay, we're going to be all about it on Tuesday. But right now, I just have this sense, Ron Wolf, you're gonna come out and you're gonna fill the airwaves and you're gonna advocate for a receiver in round one, And I will just say no, PAULI, I'm

not advocating for a receiver in round one. If there is a specific receiver though that is actually there, like Jay Jaylen Waddle, you know what, I'm gonna take that, or I'm gonna run, Paul, I'm gonna do it. I'm just gonna go ahead and take that and run wolf Wolf. You know what, if you want to speculate, if you want that sort of risk in round one, go trade bitcoin, get into cryptocurrency. Okay, you gotta you gotta tell me

who else is there? Obviously, I mean, if you tell me jac Horn is gonna be there, you know what, Paul, You're gonna draft jac Horn. Right, that's what you're probably going to do. Right there. You have to also say, hey, listen, if if Davonte Smith is there, what are you gonna do, Paul, Davonte Smith, he does scare me because he is a little slight, is it he? Davonte Smith is there, and somebody wants Davante Smith, I trade in an instant and

I cash that in. Yeah. The problem is, of course, whenever you trade up or you trade down, it takes two to tangle. And that's the problem. Once you include somebody else, now, all of a sudden, it becomes much more difficult to execute that. Well, Steve Kine was asked about that earlier today, and we'll get to that very soon on this edition of The Big Head Rage. Thankfully, we'll get the voice of reason here as we expect the Hall of Famer Kurt Warner to join us on

this edition. A great bird Beard is gonna side with you, Paul, Well, I'm gonna you know what, I'm gonna make the argument with not only you, but with a Hall of Famer, mister Yellowjacket himself, that you know what, the Arizona defense needs a top knock young cornerback as much as Kyler Murray needs another weapon. So all of the weapons that Kurt Warner has played with in his very storied career, you don't think he might actually side with going with

the wide idol beg selball. I think your way off on. I'm not saying there isn't a degree of difficulty that I have ahead of me. I'm just saying that's where I'm gonna go down swinging on that argument. That's what I'm about to say. What if Mica Parsons falls to number sixteen? Ron Walthley, did you not watch the Super Bowl? Did you not see what Devin White and Lavante David meant to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite Tom Brady I do, Hey, listen, if you tell me it's Micah Parsons at sixty, I'll

be okay. Paul. I don't think he's gonna be there, but I'll be okay with that too. You know, I did an event last night with a former player host of the Big Red Rage Carlos Dansby, Ah Los was in full form dirty and leave it to Los to bring up that. Hey, the year the Cardinals had Carlos Dansby and Daryl Washington. If you can now have Micah Parsons and Isaiah Simmons think about that, we'll get to what Steve Kim had to say today. It is the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. We

are santan Ford, where are you guys right now? In the draft? Prop says, have you already stood on the table? Drew? Have you stood on the table and had it out? Have you had those meetings yet? The shoeprints are on

the table. Wolf, there they're there. There. You're going director a player personel Drew Grigson last week in response to Wolf's question about um, shall we say, how animated do you think some of the discussions got in the war room as they tried to set their final one twenty to three years sometimes invested in each player and the scatter reports and the rankings, and Wolf, when you ask that question, and we're moments away from being joined by Kurt Warner. By the way, the Hall of Famer and

we'll talk draft and everything else about the Cardinals. But when you pose that question, did you mean it to a certain degree? I mean, just how spirited do you think it gets in there? Oh? No, Pollie, absolutely, I meant that. Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I mean, for me, Paul, excuse me, I got something caught in my throat. And we don't know because that's the one place we're never allowed. I mean, we're just ever allowed

into the war room. A select few, are right, But there does get to that, like that one or two weeks where everyone comes in from all the remote locations and they have it out. Yeah, they have it out, Paul. But once again, it's probably the most entertaining part of the year when you're talking about these scouts, and as you know, these guys they do they invest years into certain guys and suddenly they stand up and they say, this guy, We've got to draft this guy. I think

this guy is the best at his position. And some other scout who scouted some other guy is going to look at him and say, what are you talking about? The best at This guy is the best at his position. And guess what happens, Paul. I mean, these guys, this is how they build their careers. This is how scouts build their careers and how they turn those careers at scouting into being a general manager climbing the ladder and someday being a general manager. Whom do you hitch your

wagon too as a scout? And what player pans out as a pro and what player does not? Paul and people kept they keep records of this stuff. Well, there was the pre draft press conference today featuring the GM Steve Kim, the head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. One of the questions was where do you consider the deepest parts of the draft. Remember the answer Drew Grigson gave us on the show We could go immediately? He said pass rusher. And that's rarely, if ever the case in any draft.

You can count on one or two hands how many legit pass rushers there are. He says, it's very deep this year. Steve Kimes answer that question today was outside linebacker, yes, inside linebacker, receiver, corner, and some of the interior O line. And then Steve Kim was asked Wolf just about the potential maybe doing what the Niners did or the Dolphins have done twice or the Eagles trade up, trade down?

What do you think GM, Steve Kim with six picks and where we're sitting, I think it would be more likely to trade back than the trade up. So that's one thing. And then you know, as far as trading accumulating more picks, it's no different than a lottery ticket. The more you have, the better you have a chance to hit. We know it's in an exact business and to be able to accumulate more picks would be a real coup for us. Do you buy that, Ron Wolfley? You know, not this time of year. I really don't.

I don't buy it at all. I don't buy anything that any general manager says in the National Football League this time of year. I just don't do it. I mean, you're talking about being a week away from the NFL draft, and draft supt or fuge is absolutely real. Why in the world, Paul, would you ever give anybody an inclination as to what it is that you're going to do or what you're thinking about possibly doing. Yeah, you wouldn't. It makes no sense. It does not benefit you in

any way, shape or form. What does benefit you in any way, shape or form is saying something that might be misleading to somebody else, do you know, Paul, In certain organizations, most organizations in the NFL, they actually have people that record this stuff, what you say before the draft as a general manager and what you actually do in the draft. Why do you think they would do that, Polly, Why do you think that makes sense to actually do that to fund They're trying to pin down which way

you really are going to go. They want to know who your personality really is, Polly. So on Wall Street, past performance is no guarantee of future results, but you're saying when it comes to gms and their pre draft press or sometimes their past performance is an indicator of where they go on draft night. I mean, there are some general managers that will look at other general managers

and go, you are just laugh out loud, funny. You've got to be kidding me, right, because of some of the things that they've said in the past and then some of the things that they've actually done. And there are some general managers that, believe it or not, Polly, actually do kind of tell the truth. There are some that actually do it, Paul, but they think you're never

gonna believe them. Anyways, there was one year where Bruce arians just just flat out lie and then he said afterwards, I'm a good liar, but there was one your Wolf where he pretty much told it as it was. And remember we did his Coaches show not long thereafter, and he just said, yeah, everyone thinks you're lying, so I just sort of told the truth, and every nobody believes you anyway, so it doesn't really matter. So he went

reverse psychode. That would be a reason once again to actually keep track of this stuff, so you get to know who your opponent is, you get to know who these other general managers are, and who might be actually giving a solid indicator as to what they're going to do in who's full of it? Okay, so I listened today. Can I give you my translation? Yes? My GM two English translation goes something like this, make me an offer I can't refuse. I think Steve Kim is saying, all

these insiders have us potentially moving up. But you know what, everyone who thinks I'm moving up and they're keeping the price sky high to move up, guess what I might move back? And if you're listening to me, I'm just as likely to move back as I am to move up. So you know what you guys better start giving me some reasonable trade deals here if I'm going to entertain

any of these, whether it's up or down. Okay, you've got one week t minus one week in counting you're on the clock to give me a real phone call worth my time. The only thing I would say to you, apolly on that is all the one year signings that they made and the acquisition of Rodney Hudson and knowing you've got two years with JJ Watt. I don't know about that, Paul. I think win now is what they're looking at. So you're saying they're going to trade up to four and take gyle pits the tight end, not

saying they're going to trade up at all. I'm just saying, if there's a possibility, I think that is what they would do because they're in win now. Let's see what Curve Warner has to say. Yes, the Hall of Famer. Next on the big red Rag presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert current Warner with an absolutely perfect pass right on the money. Old Graybeard looks sharp. Dudney his Kurt Warner sick er water. Kurt. You have to be Kidney right there, right bro By Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner using

the kung fu grip. You want to talk about cool as a cucumber and the refrigerator, the gloved one leading them down the field again. Wow, Kurt Warner isn't in the zone. He is the zone. Kurt Warner could throw a twinkie into a toaster. I mean, this guy is on fire. Into the archives with the collective voice of the Arizona Cardinal's day pass, Ron Wolfley talking about a Super Bowl champion, a Super Bowl MVP, and NFL MVP, Ron Wolfley, a guy I consider most responsible for changing

the culture and direction of the Arizona Cardinals. They're making a movie out of his life story and can I use the word irony when we're about to talk NFL Draft with Kurt Warner and kurtis consider probably the greatest undrafted player ever in the history of the NFL. Kurt, how are we doing this evening? I am doing really really well. How are you guys? We're doing Kurt? Thank you so much for joining us, Man. We really appreciate it.

As always, bro oah Man, always always a pleasure to talk to you guys, and I know it's a fun time of year as we're all involved in the NFL, and obviously you involved at the Cardinals that time of year when we're getting close to the draft and all the speculation and all the excitement, getting ready for what plays out, and then to see how it plays out

next fall. You know, Cliff Kingsbury today mentioned he was asked about Kyler and you just said, you know, to his experience, and some of it is based on college that guys in year three other NFL career, Now you were the exception, but guys who come up as rookies and then year three that that really is the liftoff period in a lot of cases. Last year we saw Baker Mayfield, we saw Josh Allen for example. To what you read, do you think Kyler is poised for that

leap in year three? Well, I mean, I think when you look at just the last two years, I thought he made a nice leap from year one to year two. I would say a lot of a lot of guys in the league, a lot of players say that that's where you make your biggest chump is from year one to year two. As you come in the first year, you're just kind of a wide eyed rookie trying to just survive and figure it out in a sixteen game

season and all that stuff. And then once you settle in and you figure out what it's all about, you can make a big jump into year two. But you know, the hope I believe for all young guys and all quarterbacks specifically, is that you continue to see the progression and you talk about the leap in year three. We can go look at Josh Allen and the incredible leap

that he took last year. I mean almost transcendent that I didn't know if he could ever he would ever get to the point that he played at last year. And so now the expectation becomes, Okay, what's he going to be the rest of his career? Can he live up to that expectation that he said in year three? But but yeah, I mean you want to see them continue to progress and get better. I mean, let's remember, I mean, Kyler Murray for the first half of the

year was a part of the MVP conversation. So let's not you know, let's not sit here and go, oh gosh, he's got to get so much better, or let's hope he makes a big leap. I mean, he was in that conversation for a big part of the year. Now, there is definitely room to grow because a lot of that hype was around what he was doing with his legs more than what he was doing with his arm, meaning just playing within the pocket and deciphering defenses and some of that stuff. So that's where I want to

see him get better. But I felt he got a lot more comfortable just in the role and playing the position last year, and the game seemed to slow down for him, and thus the reason he made a lot of plays. Now. I think he just needs to grow in that mental side of understanding what he's seeing, making him more of the layups I like to call him, and not having to live in that special world which

we know he can do those things. But even the best quarterbacks in the league that can do those things, the more they live in that world, the more their team struggles, and the more they struggle as quarterbacks, the less they live in that world. Meaning make the layups, make the plays you're supposed to do, and then give

us four five of those a game. Those are the teams to me that really push the envelope and become playoff teams and even can become championship teams because you know, when you're playing against good teams, it is hard to be that special player weekend and week out, ten twelve, fifteen times a game because everybody's so talented. So do what you're supposed to do and then give me just a little bit extra. It is press or. Today Cliff Kingsbury was talking about the evolution of this offense. What

do you think that looks like in year three? Kurt, what do you think the evolution of this offense looks like? Yeah, I'm not really sure because I've still been trying to figure out exactly what they are offensively. Now we talk

about the evolution. I believe brainon DeAndre Hopkins last year helps every offense evolve because what you always want to have in an offense is you want to have that guy, that guy that can play the ex position that a team either a leaves one on one, which makes the game easier for any play call or any offense, and especially a young quarterback. Hey, DeAndre is one on one, Okay,

I can go there a lot of the time. So that's the first part of the evolution, is they have that guy, that difference making guy over there at that position, and then the evolution becomes how far can we push the envelope? Is a lot of offenses are very similar.

What really separates offenses is the flexibility of players, the ability to push the envelope with complimentary football in the passing game, and then of course the ability of the quarterback to handle all of that stuff, see those things and allow the creativity of an offense to take shape because they have the ability to see it and make the plays that are supposed to be made. And so

that to me is when you talk about evolution. That's what I'm waiting to see is that I know we have DeAndre now, and I know Kyler can drop back and throw it to DeAndre one on one anytime he wants, and they've got a great rapport and that works. Now I need to see, Okay, conceptually, can they create both you know, coach Kingsbury and Kayler. Can they create a special offense together where they can utilize the mind of the coach with the physical abilities and the mind of

the quarterback and those things mesh together. Now you feel like you've got everything at your find fingertips, and now you give yourself the opportunity to really be dynamic offensively. We're on board with Kurt Warner. It's all about you, presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert. We know need is

baked into every draft board. So when it comes to position, and a lot of people would think Kyler needs another weapon Kurt to go along with DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Green and Christian Kirk and then others say, oh wait a minute, you just lost Patrick Peterson. You need that long term top knoch young corner. Is there a position you feel strongly about the Cardinals need on Thursday night? Yeah, I think you hit on two that I would love to see. You know, AJ Green signs of one year deal,

Malcolm Butler signs of one year deal. So good players, especially if they stay healthy, but obviously not the long term answers. And so in this day and age, you want to have that shut down corner and Patrick gave you that for so long. You love to be able to replace that if you can find one of those guys. I know you have Byron already a young guy there, but you'd like to find a shutdown corner if you can. The playmaking on offense, you know, we still don't know

what fits is going to do. But we know where he's at in the mix, and they've got some nice complimentary pieces, but don't have that. You know, obviously you'd love to get another number one with DeAndre, but even that complimentary, really strong number two to go on the other side and give you some playmaking would be great.

And then you know, to me, I always look at weapons as really good offensive linemen, and so I would have no problem if they found one of these really you know, good offensive linemen, whether it's inside or outside, to continue to solidify things up front, to protect Kyler, to be able to run the football. So those are those are three areas that I could see them go, depending on how things shake out and who could fall where.

And you know, and I think you have some really good, obviously wide receivers in the man and you've got some really good cornerbacks as well. It's just a matter of how highly you have these guys rated and where you think they can fit. But those are three positions that I could see them going any direction, depending on who may be available, on how you know things may shake out.

You know, it's amazing because a quarterback in a center, you guys have special relationships for the most parts, and we all know what we're talking about, but a quarterback and a center for the most part. Many times in my career i'd say the quarterback sitting down with a center and having conversations, whether it was professional conversations or personal conversations. What do you think, Kurtz, the impact of

Rodney Hudson may be on Kyler Murray? Well, the biggest thing when you're playing quarterback is you want to play quarterback and you don't want to worry about the guys up front. And so you know, and again too full not worrying about them in terms of them being able to protect you, but also not worry about them seeing

things the same way that you see them. And so for me, you know, I was only in a system that called out the mic one year in New York, and I hated it because I just said to myself, well, that guy's the mic. Everybody should know that guy's the mic. Why do I have to tell everybody every time I come up to the line of scrimmage it's the guy in the middle. We should all know that. And then if we want to do something different, then I can

communicate that. But I want everybody to know that going in. That, to me is what makes a good offensive line. As you recognize what you're seeing, you can get to those guys. You have a center as you're talking about that, communicate that and comes up and go day yeah fifty two, Mike, and this is where we're going and this is where we're sliding. And I come up and I know that that guy's thinking exactly what I'm thinking in those situations,

and then I can just play ball. I don't have to worry about those guys up front or what they're going to do or do I need to tell them and make sure that they're And that, to me is where a center and a quarterback relationship is so important. Is that I just want to know what you're thinking. And as long as we think the same way, now I can deal with what I need to deal with from there, and I trust you to deal with what you need to deal with. It's when you're not on

the same page. And so having a guy like Roddy Hudson that has been around, has seen it, has seen everything, has played at an extremely high level, hopefully that can free Kiler up and help solve some of those issues. And so he can just play ball and he doesn't have to think and worry about those things, especially as he's trying to make that evolution and learn how to play the position a little bit better. That he doesn't have to worry about anything that's going on up front,

and he can really trust those group of guys. And so that's what I think you're always hoping to get from your center, is that we talk often about an offensive coordinator and a quarterback seeing the game the same way, and that helps when you're designing plays and all of those things. And it's the same to me for a center and a quarterback. If you guys can see the game the same way, that just frees both of you up to just say it. I know he's gonna be

thinking what I'm thinking. We'll just call it right here and we'll move on and we'll play fast. By the way, Tom Brady, you mentioned calling out the mic, he had a pointed opinion today about how he doesn't like the new single digit jersey rule and he wrote, dumb, why not let the lineman wear whatever they want to? Good luck trying to block the right people. Now, it's gonna make for a lot of bad football. Hey, you've been there over the line of scrimmage and trying to figure out, Okay,

who's coming who is it? Is that a problem if all of a sudden, linebackers are not wearing single digits. I don't think it's a problem. I think like everything else will adapt to it, and you'll game plan and you'll know whether ray Lewis is fifty two or ray Lewis is zero, or ray Lewis is ninety nine. We'll know what number he is when he comes into the building, and you know it's not gonna matter which one of those he's wearing, and you know we'll can attest to this.

The biggest thing when we're talking about protections and blocking schemes, it's unblocking the guy that's in that spot. I don't care what number he's wearing. That guy in between those other two guys as the mic linebacker. And so that's how I see it. Now we can identify them by the number they're wearing. But I never really even saw numbers.

It was more just oh, that's that position, is the mic, that's the same, that's the will whatever, and so yeah, it might be an adjustment early on because you're not expecting certain guys to be wearing certain numbers, But that'll change really quickly as you, like I said, you go through your game plan and you circle the four guys that you're worried about every week, and you'll know exactly what numbers they're wearing and what you expect to call

out and who's who's considered what. So. Yeah, I think anytime change happens, we worry about it and we think it's going to affect us. But I mean, you know, come on, last year they played in front of no fans, and so you know you had to figure out how to get your self amped up for that. We'll figure out how to call a linebacker that's wearing number twelve or whatever, and we'll move on. You know what's interesting about it? Go ahead, Paul, Oh sorry, well go ahead.

What's interesting too is listen the Arizonal Cardinals. They brought in a lot of grizzled veterans, Kirk As you well know, you know, JJ Watt, of course, Malcolm Butler, AJ Green, bringing Rodney Hudson, bringing these guys into this locker room right here. To me, that is a culture shift that

is going to happen inside that locker room. Can you talk on that and speak on that at all, Kirk, Yeah, I mean anytime you have you know, great leaders, guys that have been there, Guys that have played at a certain level, Guys that walk into the locker room and already have a level of success or respect that goes with their name. Those are things that you know are

extremely valuable. All I would say is that at the end of the day, though, those guys are going to have to be healthy on the field making plays, and that's what this is going to come down to. I'm not going to question JJ Watt as a man and a man of character and what he's done in this league, but I need to know that he's going to be out there with me every day and that he's truly a part of this culture, and that to me is

going to be the biggest question. You know, AJ Green and Malcolm on one year deals, you know, what does that look like? How are they able to come in and really become leaders on this team? And more importantly that the issues have been injuries with guys like AJ and JJ as of late, and so bottom line, it doesn't matter what you bring to the table if you're not out there with us, and you're not able to play and you're going through an injury, it's a completely

different dynamic. So I like what they've done. I like the veteran leadership that will be in that locker room. But I think at the end of the day, this is going to all be weighed by how much those guys play, what kind of impact they have at this stage in their career, you know, comparatively to what they've

had the last couple years in other places. And obviously the reason why they were available is because they just hadn't played up to their potential, and a big part of that has been injuries and not being able to stay healthy to compete at the level that we had grown accustomed to. But man, let's hope they hit the lottery, right, Let's hope these guys stay healthy, because I believe AJ can still play. I know JJ can still play. He played at a high level at times last year. Malcolm

Butler can play. I mean, all those guys, And so that's what you're hoping as you go all in that, Man, we get lucky for this one year and we get kind of the best of everything melding together along with our young talent and now we've got a chance to maybe do something and Kurt, let's wrap it up. Give us a quick thumbnail on QB Confidential. I've seen it

on Twitter. At QB Confidential. You tell us you know, for example, this Zach Wilson today, you mentioned about his athleticism, but you said you weren't talking about how far he can throw it or how fast he can run. You were talking about other rare and special moments. Right, yeah,

you talk about quarterback athleticism. Is that I always tell people when I try to evaluate quarterbacks, I don't evaluate their athletic ability because a I never had it, So I don't know how to truly evaluate it and correlate it and then be I don't know how that translates. I know how processing information and how accuracy can translate from college to the pros. I don't know how running

a four three translates. I don't know if you're a good enough athlete because you do some of these things to make it translate to be like Lamar Jackson at the NFL. So I don't even look at that stuff. But I look at quarterback athleticism and the ability to move in the pocket, the ability to understand how to make different throws, to be on different platforms and all

that stuff. But you know, as you talk about quarterback Confidential, quarterback Confidential actually was something that It's something that I've wanted to do for a long time because I've wanted to be able to share my knowledge and experience with the masses, and with the masses, I mean quarterbacks at all different levels, you know, because I do high school coaching,

I do individual coaching for college and pro guys. But I wanted to have a larger reach for the quarterback position because I believe I'd bring a lot of value and I wanted to impact young coaches. I wanted to invest in young coaches because I think I have a unique knowledge of the game and of offensive football and

the why behind the game. And so I've always wanted to do it, and I've been limited to, you know, the three or four quarterbacks I have in high school, or the four or five that'll come work with me in the off season from the other levels. And when the pandemic hit a year ago and my offseason schedule kind of came to a halt like everybody else's, I said, here's the perfect opportunity for me to dive in and

do something that I've wanted to do. So I created Quarterback Confidential, which is a teaching and instruction platform that's laid out in five different components. So I have a component called Blackboard Breakdowns where it's all about football IQ. Everything from you know, recognizing a box count, to how we call defenses, to reading defenses, to how we you know, look at certain plays, but just building football IQ from

an offensive perspective. I go on the field and talk quarterback technique, which is so important to me, and I think there's so many kids out there that that can't afford the guru or they're with people that don't really know how to teach it. It's a great tool I think for them to learn or for coaches to learn how to coach it. I go inside the playbook, which is probably my greatest passion, and just talk about the why. I say that every every play has its own story.

You know who we're trying to throw to and what the timing of it is, and why we run routes to certain ways. I have the film study as you talk about, which I call Study Ball, which is my Friday segment where I'd kind of dive into NFL playbooks who are top level playbooks and really talk through different schemes and IQs, and I find all of that stuff. But things that I love to do is looking at

the pros and breaking it down. And then I have another component called outside the Box, which is me just taking my story and lessons that I've learned along the way and through my journey and sharing it with people to kind of build a mindset of excellence. And so the way I've got it laid out for the first year is kind of curriculum type form is where you know, Mondays you get one, Tuesdays, you get one Wednesdays, Thursday's, Fridays.

Each of those different segments comes one day a week and you'll get them every week for fifty two weeks on that day of the week each week, and it's built so you kind of start with the foundation and then you grow from there. And I just I mean it's I think it's a great investment for any coach

or any player or even any fan. And I've had a number of analysis analysts that I've sent the stuff to and they love it because it takes them inside the game from a quarterbacks perspective, which we know so much of the game comes from that perspective, and there's so much great content on it. So I'm excited about it because I just want to invest in the next generation and invest in our game, and this tool, I think is something that anybody and everybody can can gain

something from. The price is almost minimal when you look at what's out there for what you're going to get, and so just encouraging everybody. I mean, you can follow me at QB Confidential on Twitter and Instagram and YouTube and all of those things, but the site is actually QB confidential dot com and you can you get two weeks for free if you sign up, you get two weeks for free to check it out and then decide

from there. But I just I don't think anybody's going to get on it and not like the different information on there. I think everybody can learn from it. And I'm just excited about it because I finally got the opportunity to build something that I believe can touch the masses now but also something that can live for the long term and can allow you know, the things I learned in this game and what this game gave me to be able to to pass that on to other people. Yeah,

you know what, Kurt. Thank you so much. Man. I'm going with Wedgebuster Confidential myself. But thank you so much, Kurt. I ruly you are pretty like three segments. Bless you. And Kurt Wolf wanted me to ask you about larrying his decision. I told him no, so you can. You can thank you later on that We amend of that. I appreciate you guys. All right, guys stick here Kurt Warner at QB Confidential back right after this breaking news, J J. Watt is going to the desert. WHOA, that

is not photos? I know, he said. Adam Schefter just reported it. Wow. The first thing I did was take a look at the tape and quickly realized that J. J. Watt still looked like J. J. Watt in my opinion on that when he walks on the field, he don't think there's anybody in the readA better than here. It feels like the Arizona Cardinals are going all in. We had the opportunities to make some reason to be aggressive.

You know, it's business at the end of the day, and you know things going to change to get traded to Arizona it's a pleas of anyone to the best days of my life a little different, figure different. There isn't enough energy in the value already. We're gonna try and turn it up even a few more notches the unmistakable music of Emmy Award winning Cardinals flight Plan. Yes, Season four, Episode one debuts in T minus fifteen minutes

and counting. All you have to do is go to YouTube dot com slash Azy Cardinals, hit the subscribe button and boom, there you are. And based on the trailer, it is going to be an epic edition, season opening edition of Cardinals Flight Plan. We're talking going behind the scenes of the Cardinals offseason, free agency, draft prep and more and once again all coming your way top of

the hour, YouTube dot com slash as Cardinals. When we come back, we'll hear some more about what the Cardinals said about what direction they might go in the NFL Draft a week from tonight, as we continue with the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Yeah, all right, mister J. J. Watt, Captain America known in these parts, what I see is a guy who leaves a lot now on just the things he's seen in life. His technique is impeccable, and you have to do that

because far the time is undefeated. It's funny everybody in the NFL wanted J. J. Watt, the Arizona Blessed to give him. Oh he's old, he can't play no more. This guy still can play football in the NFL, and he could play at a high level. And that's just a little bit. Just one clip from season four, episode one of Cardinals Flight Plan debuts top of the hour and the YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash as Cardinals and Wolf. I think you will agree we're all better

off the more we get in here. From d line coach Brentson Buckner, he is always he has always good content, especially when you put the clicker in his hand. Look out. Yeah, absolutely, Pally, and not only that too, he's so right on JJ Watt. J J. Watt is a guy that I was shocked when I put the tape on and I looked at last season. Bally. We know he's been banged up over the last five years, right, But when I put the tape on and watched JJ Watt play, I was really

pleasantly surprised at how he looked. He looked really good. I mean he led the NFL and tackles for loss against the run. Think about that, right, He had seventeen quarterback hits that would have led the Arizona Cardinals. Last year. He led the NFL in drawing double teams as well. So right, right, right, so right there, you know, with Chandler Jones and Isaiah Simmons and Buddha Baker are all distracting, you know, offensive fronts, and we're all very curious obviously

to see what JJ Watt is all about this year. Now, as for as for the press conference earlier today Cliff Kingsbury, did you catch the moment where he was asked about the fact that the Rams have tried to one up Cliff Kingsbury's pad on Draft night, which stole the NFL draft a year ago, as we know his place in Paradise Valley. The drafts have gone the Rams have gone ahead and they set up their draft war room in

a Malibu beach house, and Cliff Kingsbury was asked about that. Yeah, I really think it's just employed by McVeigh to allow himself the opportunity to take your shirt off again and jump in the pool like he did on Hard knocks Price, Sibilo Rose dip in the ocean and make some draft picks a thing more than anything. He had that up so it should be fun to watch. Here's the metaphorical protective cup. Why aren't two slided in? That was good stuff.

Now those two are really good friends. And if you remember, shortly after Cliff Kingsbury was hired, he had a dinner with Patrick Mahomes and McVay played the practical joke on him, texting Cliff Kingsbury that he was in violation of NFL rules by having by having dinner with an opposing quarterback, and Roger Goodell was going to find him and strip the Cardinals of draft picks. So that Cliff Kingsbury was

getting back at Sean McVeigh there a little bit. And then so the Cardinals tweeted out Wolf and they tweeted out that sound by we just heard with a simple caption, We're onto you at rams NFL. The Ramsen responded about an hour later and said, if you want an invite, just say so smiley face. And it's a picture of Cliff Kingsbury with his shirt off at a beach party with a bunch of other guys and so it's going back and forth, and as our Jim, I'm under and

Cody Fincher just informed us. The Seahawks got in on the action and they said, we don't need an ocean to take our shirts off, and they tweeted out a picture of DK Metcalf and coached double Rainbow when DK Metcalf walked in with his shirt off during the draft combine interviews last season, and then all of a sudden, seventy year old Pete Carroll takes off his shirt and

nobody needed to see that, you know, too bad. It wasn't that amicable on the field, Paul right, And I say that tongue in cheek, of course, because we love the fact that it is a contested game. Every time these guys play, they step in between those white lines, are trying to actually drive somebody into the ground and do it with malice. Of course, that's what we're supposed to do. But it is kind of a light moment here,

the calm before the draft storm that is coming our way. Yeah, speaking of the calm before the storm, you're moved now forty nine ers, right, How are the Niners going to get in on this? NFC West action. So so there you go. Well, we'll see about it. And remember, the Cardinals have yet to beat Sean McVay. He is eight no against the Arizona Cardinals, So don't think that the players aren't reminded of that. During the off season. There was a great story had a chance to tell Kyle

Vannabosh and Carlos Dansby last night. For a while Wolf and Bannabosh said that when he was with the Titans, every single season they will put up a picture of Peyton Manning. This Peyton Manning guys beat us like twelve times in a row, and that was their motivation for the entire defensive front, was to get after and payback Peyton Manning. And when they did it, he cited that as the biggest accomplishment and most rewarding moment of his

NFL career, No doubt about it, Paulie. They've got to beat the Rams at some point in time going forward, and I fully expect this is the year, paul This is when they do it. We'll come back, we'll wrap up this edition of the Big Red Rage, and we'll tell you about a very special day in Arizona Cardinals history. It is a big red rage presented by Satan Pord and Gilbert we Are Santanford. Huge play by Pat Tilman. Whatever you're gonna do, you should be passionate. Matter of why?

Why do it? By Pat Tilman. Damn Tilman delivers the blow. Tilmann was there for. A rushed back there by Pat Tilman. Pat Tilman the play. I don't know. I get a lot of satisfaction out of, like, you know, my family being proud of me, my brothers. You know, I care what they think and how they feel, and I want them to be proud of what I'm doing. Pat Tilban talk about a guy with a lot of heart. That's what Tillman is all about. Huge play by Pat Tillman.

For whatever reason, I you know, I have a patriotic bone to me, American hero Pat Tillman. And for those of us who have been here a while in the AC, I think we all remember exactly where we were when we learned the news that Pat Tillman had lost his life defending his country. I know Darren Urban wrote about it at Acy Cardinals dot com. I bavily remember morning Radio kta R newsroom news came down, just utter shot. We weren't even truly aware at that point the Pat

had gone back and had decided to re enlist. That was his choice to re enlist and go back and and and defend the United States of America. And will you know it's it's the seventeenth anniversary of the passing of Pat Tillman. And and you know there was a car that was handed out at the funeral and Darren Urban cited it and the line goes like this, every man dies, not every man really lives. And does that not sum up Pat Tilman? Yeah, Paul, you know a Pat.

The Pat Tillman story alone, it asked the question. It demands a response from every one of us. When you hear Pat's story, it's who are you? And how are you living your life? It's like you you have to ask yourself that question when you hear the Pat Tillman story and what it is that he was all about and what he did with his life. And don't forget we're a week away from the NFL draft. Pat Tillman, despite being the PAC ten Defensive Player of the Year,

was a seventh round pick. He was a tweener and Wolf, you were a training camp. I was a training camp. We watched the rookie Pat Tilman, and his strategy was, I'm going to hit anything that moves, doesn't matter if the drill is half speed, I'm going full speed, and I'm just gonna play with more passion than anyone else on the gridiron. And that's the way he lived his life. He got everybody's attention, did he not? And Paul Season four of Cardinals Flight Plan straight Ahead top of the hour.
