Whow here's Craigcreolo.

Whow here's Craigcreolo.

So we have reached the end of the first full week of free agency. And by the way, Paul, I know you know this because of what I saw you doing earlier here on this Friday, March fourteenth, it is Pie Day.

So we have reached the end of the first full week of free agency. And by the way, Paul, I know you know this because of what I saw you doing earlier here on this Friday, March fourteenth, it is Pie Day.

All Yeah, and the not the numerical pie either. Don't get me pi and the three point one four and then it goes to infinity or whatever. With all that, you know, I can only go you three point one four, right, I got nothing else exactly. I mean we're talking an apple pie, cherry guy. You know, pumpkin pie, yes, wolf pumpkin pie. But maybe my favorite is pizza pie. And you know I'm already dreaming of a Friday night pizza pie. At some point, we just got to decide where and how much.

All Yeah, and the not the numerical pie either. Don't get me pi and the three point one four and then it goes to infinity or whatever.

So you had a apple pie this morning and it's pizza pie, yeah, for dinner?

So you had a apple pie this morning and it's pizza pie, yeah, for dinner?

Is that how this is?

Is that how this is?

Nobody works?

Nobody works?

It's been an epic fail, now that you ask, Craig, thanks for asking. It's kind of a sore point. I really made a point to eat clean this week. In the last forty eight hours, I had a cheeseburger with bottomless fries because a buddy was in town, and then I followed up last night with pizza, and then this morning I had the apple pie. So not going so well, not going going according to game plan.

Okay, well there's there's still hope for you, Paul Is. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Okay, well there's there's still hope for you, Paul Is. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

A late comeback.

A late comeback.

I mentioned free agency and I know you're big about the numbers, and I saw this and I got to share it with everyone because this is what has happened this week. Adam Schefter tweeted this out entering Friday. NFL teams have signed players to four point eight eight billion with a b dollars in player compensation, almost five billion in player compensation that includes nearly three billion and guaranteed money at signing.

I mentioned free agency and I know you're big about the numbers, and I saw this and I got to share it with everyone because this is what has happened this week. Adam Schefter tweeted this out entering Friday. NFL teams have signed players to four point eight eight billion with a b dollars in player compensation, almost five billion in player compensation that includes nearly three billion and guaranteed money at signing.

Wow. And I thought the stock market lost a lot of money this week. Wow. I did not realize that it was that sort of total. But I guess when you think about it, when teams like the Minnesota Vikings have expended a quarter of a billion dollars alone, yeah, I guess it all adds up. But can we all agree it's not about the expenditures, It's about the expertise. There's a certain NBA team that leads a league in payroll. Very true? How's that going? So? Not every team that wins the off season and does so via the checkbook is gonna be a winning team on Sundays. And that's what I like about the Arizona Cardinals. I think very strategic in the Cardinals expenditures and even the big ticket item Josh what forty one million guaranteed reportedly, So it's you know, you're not into nine figures, you know, it's it's not something that's gonna put you in cap hell for four years, Saints. You know, it's not like you're gonna have to have a blood letting like the forty nine ers are doing. It's responsible, it's yes, it's market rate. That's just what it commands these days. If you want to get an edge rusher. But honestly, Craig, you want to hit zoom out And I know we're gonna get into Dalvin Tomlinson here in a minute, But if you want to look at how effective an edge rusher can be, look at his teammates in the interior D line. And then also, was going into this free agency period, was there a team with a bigger need than the Arizona Cardinals at edge rusher? No? And was there a better edge rusher on the market than Josh Sweat. I mean, don't tell me Miles Garrett was available. Don't tell me that Max Crosby was available. They weren't, and they got ridiculous money. And the Dallas Cowboys need to re up Michael Parsons are like no, as the market got reset right in front of them for those two guys, but for the Arizona Cardinals right there, that's a win and because that was the biggest need to me by far. And then you've seen other moves and they strategically filled this roster once again. It was about quantity the first couple of years. Now it's about quality more than anything.

And sixteen million guaranteed according to reports, for Dalvin Tomlinson over a two year contract. Cardinals also announced the signing of Jacoby Brissett, the heir apparent as far as your backup quarterback to Kyler Murray. They also signed a wide receiver, simm Fayoho. And excuse me, fey Hoko. Want to make sure I get that correct, because this is someone that I think, Paul, You're really going to love because his alma mater is Stanford, No College teammates with Michael Wilson. So that is not going to go well for you in that Cardinals locker.

So that is not going to go well for you in that Cardinals locker.

I thought you're going to say Syracuse, but it can always get worse. So yeah, well let's see if he's half the interview that Michael Wilson is. You know what, I'll Grin and Barrett, because you know what that is the one thing the Stanford guys definitely bring is we need guys with good soundbites and normally they are very well spoken.

I thought you're going to say Syracuse, but it can always get worse. So yeah, well let's see if he's half the interview that Michael Wilson is. You know what, I'll Grin and Barrett, because you know what that is the one thing the Stanford guys definitely bring is we need guys with good soundbites and normally they are very well spoken.

There is some good news for you, and this is according to his agency, there's an offensive tackle that is no longer on the market again and according to his agency, Jake Kerhan has agreed to terms. Paul, do you know where he went to?

There is some good news for you, and this is according to his agency, there's an offensive tackle that is no longer on the market again and according to his agency, Jake Kerhan has agreed to terms. Paul, do you know where he went to?

Coline? Are you kidding me? Down on the farm again?

Coline? Are you kidding me? Down on the farm again?

No further north? He is a col Golden Bear, Paul, How do you not know about Jake Kerhan that already starts at right tackle? Undrafted free agent? Yeah, signed by the Seahawks and according to his agency, is has agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals.

No further north? He is a col Golden Bear, Paul, How do you not know about Jake Kerhan that already starts at right tackle? Undrafted free agent? Yeah, signed by the Seahawks and according to his agency, is has agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals.

Well, that's certainly embarrassing. We'll we'll edit that out later. That just shows you yours truly. Once the move to the ACC, I kind of went paully protests this year over college football, over the recent events. But uh, you know what, Look, Calvin Beacham obviously is your primary backup tackle. But what is the status of Jonah Williams. We don't know. We do know that the Cardinals let those offensive linemen compete and you get into camp and yes, they're gonna have their starting five in mind, but this is a coaching staff and a GM that if you can play, you will play, regardless of your draft status, regardless of your contract. So you know what, bring a guy in who has experience and we all know knock on wood, how teams not just the Cardinals and go through offensive linement over the course of a seventeen game season. So okay, there you go.

Eleven career starts for Kurhan, mostly at right tackle, has also played some guard, and then Simmy mainly a special team or only has ten career catches. But someone at six four to two eighteen perhaps maybe some speed in that wide receiver room. So we'll see again to your point, Paul, you're gonna you're gonna hear now as we enter week two of free agency, and really this is kind of like the second slash third wave of free agency. As you get to the end of the week, you're gonna have more players added because you got to fill a ninety man roster. You want competition in that room, and who knows, there might be someone like a Kerhan or a Semi that surprises and all of a sudden, hey, we're talking about them getting closer to final roster cuts and they're on this team.

You know, I like that Simi Fejoko and I saw a little bit of him online, and uh, yes, he's had very limited, you know, production as a receiver, but just the size alone, I mean, like, look what Puka Nakua is able to do. Right, you go up to Seattle and Jake Bobo right, a big dude, and he's really a nuisance what mac Hollins was able to do for the Bills and the playoffs. You get these big, physical receivers and there's always a place for him, especially on special teams. But then in terms of you know, this offense and we all know how it works with Drew Petsy and Jonathan A. Gann and no block, no rock, they they do not want receivers that are not physical and aren't willing to go ahead and lower the shoulder pads and get a body on a body. And so I like that the potential upside. He's still a young guy. And uh though there's a couple of things about Manioskbor and Jonathan Gann and I think we've learned over two plus years and it's number one, you better as a player be deadly serious about football. And number two, they do believe it's a big man's game and win in doubt. They tend to draft or sign bigger dudes win possible because they like to inflict a lot of physicality.

Well, speaking of a big man's game, there is maybe no bigger man than Dalvin Tomlinson six three, three hundred and twenty five pounds. And following his introductory press conference, you and I Paul had the chance to sit down with the Cardinals new defensive lineman. Welcome Dalvin Tomlinson. So we heard just moments ago during your introductory press conference you called this week a world win. How surprising? How shocking? Is it not based off of Hey, you've been in the league for a long time. Change is inevitable in the NFL.

Is it not based off of Hey, you've been in the league for a long time. Change is inevitable in the NFL.

Oh yeah, for sure. It was surprising, just because, like you know, you never expected to happen to you, but it it does. It's like you said, it's the NFL. I've been here for a while and I've seen it from the outside looking in and definitely been a whirlwind.

Oh yeah, for sure. It was surprising, just because, like you know, you never expected to happen to you, but it it does. It's like you said, it's the NFL. I've been here for a while and I've seen it from the outside looking in and definitely been a whirlwind.

I would say, well, it's the business of the NFL.

I would say, well, it's the business of the NFL.

Right.

Right.

I mean, there were hard cap decisions that had to be made, but you know what, they created an opportunity for the Cardinals. Just take it from there. Okay. Once Cleveland made its decision, you had to make your decision. What was most important to you and how do you e g end up reaching you know, Arizona as a destination.

Once Cleveland made its decision, you had to make your decision. What was most important to you and how do you e g end up reaching you know, Arizona as a destination.

Just the scheme. I looked into the scheme, I felt like I was I would be a good fit in the interior of the scheme and making plays, and I saw what the Cardinals was trying to build and everything, and I just felt like with the culture they already have here and the guys they are bringing in is a perfect fit from you.

And you you're familiar with Jonathan Gannett Nick Rolis from Afar. You've actually watched this scheme and or those coaches before?

And you you're familiar with Jonathan Gannett Nick Rolis from Afar. You've actually watched this scheme and or those coaches before?

Yes, you know, I played against them quite a few times over the years and just seeing what they just the energy alone they bring and then the energy they give to their players, and they respect their players half of them as one of those like one of the organizations. The coaches make you want to play for them.

What specifically from watching this defense do you think you might have the biggest disruption, whether that's the run or the past.

What specifically from watching this defense do you think you might have the biggest disruption, whether that's the run or the past.

I feel like a little bit of both, especially the run game, just because the noseguard gets free freed up with a lot of one on ones. That's that's very dangerous, I would say, And I in the past it was just the biggest thing is with all the RPOs and play action passes in the in the game these days, I feel like I make a big impact in that field.

You mentioned earlier about the pass rush to the media that you felt like there was an elevation to your pass rush last season. What specifics did you learn or did you show out on the football field last year.

You mentioned earlier about the pass rush to the media that you felt like there was an elevation to your pass rush last season. What specifics did you learn or did you show out on the football field last year.

I would say it's mostly technical stuff with hands and feet, flipping the hips, footwork when you actually flipping in the hips to make it make you one step quicker, And just like stopping the run and being disruptive in the run game and start with power and go to finesse and things like that. No, I went to mix mix things up in the pass rush. It just makes me feel like I was more versatile last year and I was act getting a lot of good hits on quarterbacks last year as a big guy.

No, I went to mix mix things up in the pass rush. It just makes me feel like I was more versatile last year and I was act getting a lot of good hits on quarterbacks last year as a big guy.

Yeah, it says here I'm looking at your analytics. You had career highs and quarterback hits, quarterback pressures, quarterback knockdowns. Were you getting a little extra attention towards the end of the year. Was that showing up on film?

Yeah, it says here I'm looking at your analytics. You had career highs and quarterback hits, quarterback pressures, quarterback knockdowns. Were you getting a little extra attention towards the end of the year. Was that showing up on film?

Oh yeah, for sure. You know, you only could give me so much attention when I had Miles over there expecting the same thing with sweating Man. And yeah, you know, as a big guy, you know, I'm used to double teams and stuff like that, and a lot of the pass rushes I had when I was getting those hits, I was had to defeat double teams, and I felt like I became more efficient in doing that in the past rush as well.

At the same time, did I see correctly you had Arthur Skopignee surgery late July and you didn't even start practicing until late August last year.

At the same time, did I see correctly you had Arthur Skopignee surgery late July and you didn't even start practicing until late August last year.

Oh yeah, I had, like, I want to say, two practices before their first game.

Oh yeah, I had, like, I want to say, two practices before their first game.

Wow. Yeah, so you were able to put up career numbers when you weren't exactly one hundred percent to begin the season, I would presume.

Wow. Yeah, so you were able to put up career numbers when you weren't exactly one hundred percent to begin the season, I would presume.

Oh yeah, for sure.

Oh yeah, for sure.

Wow, that's interesting.

Wow, that's interesting.

Okay, outside of the stats, though, your best ability might be availability. How have you at your position been able to be so reliable on Sundays.

Okay, outside of the stats, though, your best ability might be availability. How have you at your position been able to be so reliable on Sundays.

You have to take the extra time out throughout the weeks and take care of your body. If it's an extra time in the training room getting their guns or game ready or anything like that, you have to take that time out to actually do it, because you know it's it's a long season. It's a long season, and you gotta be available, So you have to make sure you stay healthy.

It's a long season, and you gotta be available, So you have to make sure you stay healthy.

And you know what, I threw those stats out there, but at your position, when you're commanding a double team, you're at the epicenter of the D line. I mean, stats don't always tell the story right as to whether you're effective at your job description. So what do you value? How do how do you assess your own play when you're right there, especially when you're playing the nose or the three technique one.

Hundred percent, It's like that's not everything going to interior just because like if my biggest thing, if if I have a defensive end next to me every year it gets ten plus sacks, I'm happy because I'm doing my job because I'm helping him get up free. So if I can help the guys around me be productive and successful. I'm doing my job as well.

What's your favorite play to make?

What's your favorite play to make?

Right?

Right?

Football is about making plays. What do you enjoy the most? The sack, the tackle for loss, the force fumble, maybe putting the center on his keyster. You know what do you enjoy the most?

Football is about making plays. What do you enjoy the most? The sack, the tackle for loss, the force fumble, maybe putting the center on his keyster. You know what do you enjoy the most?

Probably put this in on his keyster and then getting making one of those other players. I feel like that's the bonus right there. And everybody loves the sack, everybody loves the TfL. But the force fumbles, I feel like a herder the common bat. So if you get like a sack fumble or a TfL force fumble or something like that, that that's like the pinnacle for me.

Have you thought about the pairing of you inside and Josh, what outside of what that dynamic could mean to the front seven?

Have you thought about the pairing of you inside and Josh, what outside of what that dynamic could mean to the front seven?

Oh?

Oh?

Yeah, I feel like it could be very dangerous? Is the word I would use? Just yeah, you put both of us together, It's like the Skys of Limita up there up front.

Yeah, I feel like it could be very dangerous? Is the word I would use? Just yeah, you put both of us together, It's like the Skys of Limita up there up front.

You mentioned playing for Alabama wearing the red again, right. I look at some of the names that were in your d line room when you were a Bama Doran Paying round one, right, Jonathan Allen, round one then A'shawn Robinson, John Reid round two, DeShawn hand round four. I mean, those are some big names in the NFL. You guys were all in the same d line room at one time or another.

Oh yeah, that was my guys. Man. I love to see those guys be successful. John just signed with Minnesota. Jay Reid still in Seattle doing going crazy out there. And man, you love to see those guys around and making plays. And that's the thing at the bed Movie, always bouncing out off of each other and helping each other get better, just like we do in the league. So love to see all of us still playing well.

There is one Alabama gentleman in that Cardinals lockerroom. I've got to ask you about Mac Wilson senior. He was a freshman when you were a senior. What kind of player back then, what kind of a teammate back then? And what have you seen from him now with the Cardinals uniform?

There is one Alabama gentleman in that Cardinals lockerroom. I've got to ask you about Mac Wilson senior. He was a freshman when you were a senior. What kind of player back then, what kind of a teammate back then? And what have you seen from him now with the Cardinals uniform?

Oh yeah, I love his leadership now. I just he's one of those guys. He's like he's like I always se him as a little brother's always a younger guy. He's one of those younger guys you know, he's gonna give it his all to get out there on the field and to knock somebody out. Man, he got this style of like Ruben Foster coming downhill, ready to hit somebody no matter how big or small they are, and as a D line and you gotta love that, man. And I talked to him about that. I agreed the terms and everything, and I know he's super excited because I already told him I'm going to help him get free a lot more to make more plays. So he's super excited about that.

Oh yeah, I love his leadership now. I just he's one of those guys. He's like he's like I always se him as a little brother's always a younger guy. He's one of those younger guys you know, he's gonna give it his all to get out there on the field and to knock somebody out.

What do you know about playing D line that you can teach a young guy, whether it's Darius Robinson Round one pick last year, whether it's an incoming rookie. I mean, what do you know with all your experience that you might be able to impart, especially initially, do a young guy in training camp.

The biggest thing is, you know, we all compete against each other in turning camp for a select few number of spots and you know, on the team for most most teams. For a young guy would say, yes, we compete in training camp, but when the season get here, we are a unit. We're only as strong as out week, as link up front. It's almost like a fence and one of the pieces of fence supposed to goes down. That's that's how we can link. So I'm here to help you, to help you, make you better, make you more plays in the same thing, vice versa, because we all want to be successful, we all want to make plays. But I'm going to be just as decided if I get a second if you get one. So I'm going to celebrate with you when you have success as well.

The coach in that defensive line room brand new, Coach Debo. He's just a little bit younger than you are. How odd different or being able to be that extension of him with your teammates and out on the football field.

The coach in that defensive line room brand new, Coach Debo. He's just a little bit younger than you are. How odd different or being able to be that extension of him with your teammates and out on the football field.

Oh yeah, I was just saying earlier, it's not too different for me because I had Alik Terry as an assistant D line coach in Minnesota and he's the organ O line coach now and he's younger than me, and I learned a lot from him, And just to have Coach Debo in the room the energy I got from when I met him, Man, this already is going to be a great room. I already know he's going to have us right up front, and I'm I'm super looking forward to just working with him, bouncing ideas off of him, saying the way he could bring to my game up front. So super excited.

There's gonna be a lot of energy in that room. There's no doubt from the from the position coach on down right. Here's my last question for Dalvin Tomlinson. In high school, you were a three times state champion wrestler. What does that do for you as a defensive lineman? I mean, how integral is that to your abilities? Is there a lot you take from wrestling that you use in football?

In high school, you were a three times state champion wrestler. What does that do for you as a defensive lineman? I mean, how integral is that to your abilities? Is there a lot you take from wrestling that you use in football?

I take everything from wrestling, Uh, just leverage, learning how to pretty much pit another person against their wheel in a certain position on the football field. On the wrestling matt similar situations, seeing openings when it comes to pass rush and even the run game, or certain blocks and reacting to stuff. Is I feel like I got all that from wrestling because you have to react, You have to see what opening you could do an ankle pick or a double leg takedown, or if you're on top when you need to chop the elbow and stuff like that. So I feel like I took a lot from just that one sport.

You walked into your press conference with a big smile. You walked in here studio with a big smile. Is there a switch? So when the game starts, when you step on that football field, are you still smiling when you're competing.

I feel like.

I feel like.

It is a switch, but I'm definitely always smiling. I feel like cause like one of my teammates made to make a TfL, I might get a TfL or a good hit or something like that. I can't stop smiling. I'm always happy, I'm in the zone. And uh, it's definitely on the field. Is I'm not smiling all the time though, but it's definitely a switch. I switch when I get on the field on the grass.

Well, a lot of Cardinals fans smiling right now, by your addition, So welcome to Arizona.

All right, thank you.

All right, thank you.

So I'm going to go out on a limpol and say that we are all going to enjoy watching and listening to Dovin Tomlinson here in twenty twenty five and hopefully for years to come. It's not just a two year and done out the door, but someone that again his production on the field is outstanding, but just a fun loving guy, very charismatic and enjoys his life on and off the football field.

When you say you got to include some of his teammates as well. H. L. J. Collier in that D line room right, has similar energy, great sense of humor. Also is a big fan of anime. And then you have a Josh Sweat. We just talked to the other day, Craig and he's in the building computers, So those guys are going to be able to connect immediately. But I love some of the comments about how he starts with stopping the run, got to earn the right to rush the passer. We get all that. Love the fact he's a state champion wrestler. What did Roy Lopez have on his resume? Three times state champion wrestler? Very interesting when you're a nose tackle slash three technique, how many of those guys really use that to their advantage right leverage? You know, I mean we could have I should have asked him. Actually now in hindsight about the tushpush. We'll have to talk to him about that, because you know, Roy Lopez had had a great philosophy. You know, you were close with Roy, and you know when it came to the whole tush push and what do you do as a defensive lineman and there you are at the epicenter of the whole thing. Low Man wins and he felt really confident about that as a as a state champion wrestler. But just what he did from a pass rushing standpoint last year in career highs and getting to the quarterback, hitting the quarterback, that's intriguing. It really is now obviously, and he mentioned it, Miles Garrett gets a lot of attention, but you know what, Josh Sweat's gonna get a lot of attention. So once again, the quickest route to a quarterback A to B straight up the middle. And that's what the quarterbacks. Hey, Drew Stanton told us that on the big red rage. You know, in the whole Santa Claus effect, you don't like it when a d liman's right in your lap. And Dalvin Thomason has been very successful at doing just that.

I brought up his availability. One hundred and twenty five games played, one hundred and twenty five starts. He has played at least sixteen games in every season but one, and that was twenty twenty two when he played thirteen games. So you can rely on him on Sundays. You can rely on him being on the football field better than fifty percent of the defensive snaps, which is going to be unusual because again, we don't see very many defensive linemen in Cardinals uniforms play that much. But that's what he did with the Cleveland Browns, and well, I guess I have to wait and see if that rotation. They'll still rotate, maybe just not as frequently, especially for someone as experienced as Dobvin were. Okay, yeah, I'm on the football field for that first and second down, maybe even that third down because I get used to it and I get better as the game goes along a lah James Connor who kind of sets things up in the first quarter to where he can break something off later on in the second half.

You know, this D line room is really intriguing now, presuming everyone's healthy, Justin Jones, Blall Nichols, Darius Robinson, Round one pick, Dalvin Thomlinson, LJ Collier, Dante Stills. I mean, think of the depth that you have in this D line room this draft. You know, you're at the combine all week. It is its deepest in a long time along the defensive line. So the Cardinals is gonna go that route in number sixteen. They certainly don't have to. Like Mani Ocibor is fond of saying, you know what, we like to be able to have a roster going into the draft where we can line up and play a game. Well, the Cardinals right now, if they go elsewhere at sixteen, if they go elsewhere at forty seven, I wouldn't be shocked. They're pretty stacked right now in that d line room. So you know, hey, if they add yet another guy, guess what, Eagles rode that all the way to a ring in the Lombardi Trophy, just having ways of dudes in the defensive front. But it's no longer than necessity. It was a month ago where.

About six weeks away from the drafts, and you're right, you don't want to go into the draft knowing you need something in order to be ready week one. So with that being said, what's next? What would you like to see Moni do ahead of the drafts? You're nots pigeon toed into one specific position. And I know the reports out there earlier this week that cornerback of Sante Samuel Junior visited the Cardinals, someone only played four games last season. Because of a shoulder injury. But here's someone who's a former fourth round pick four seasons with the Chargers. When healthy, he's been very good. Maybe doesn't have that size that I know you were talking about earlier this offseason. Wanted to see maybe a little bit more physicality out of a cornerback, but someone again you're looking to upgrade that room, and maybe you take a flyer on someone who's coming off an injury riddled season and you catch lightning in a bottle.

Yeah, he played the first four games last year and then he spent the rest of the year on the sideline with injury as Sante Samuel Junior. But before that he was a starter in every single game of his career. Former round two pick, really talented dude, still age twenty five. So you can see the Cardinals interest in that. That position is JG's specialty. He knows exactly what he wants in terms of the traits and the skills and the mental makeup of cornerbacks. So that's intriguing. We have our eye obviously of that one. But if you're giving me a power pole of needs right now in terms of what else might be added at this point, you know, a guard, a veteran starting guard, I think is where you start. Could that w that b Will Hernandez? We'll see middle linebacker? Do the Cardinals have their middle linebacker right now? Between Mac Wilson, Senior King, Davis Gaythier, you know, Michael Walker, don't Zaven Collins. You know, as we break out the oven mits for a bit of a.

You're gonna write that all the way into the off season.

You're gonna write that all the way into the off season.

I mean, I'm just all the way name and names, But who is your mike linebacker? You know? That would be that might be my first question for Jonathan Cannon when we meet him again. In terms of media, you know, wide receiver. They they've addressed a little bit obviously, and they've added some depth on the back end of that room. But is there a definitive or potential wide receiver too incoming via free agency and or the draft. There's still some pretty big names out there. Maybe the Cardinals are waiting for the price to come down in terms of veteran established receivers. Maybe I don't expect it. I don't think it's an urgent need. And then I'll throw out there safety, what is the future of Jalen Thompson, he has the third highest cap number, doesn't have any guaranteed money. Does he stick and stay under the current contract? Perhaps is there a maneuver there is there a need to maybe add some more depth of the safety. If JT is not a cardinal this season, and you may not know that until training camp, and once again, if he plays the entirety of twenty twenty five, I would not be shocked whatsoever. But you know, there's the business end of this that might still be addressed at some point. So we'll see. That's the other position that maybe might be on the radar.

And are you looking to get Rabbit on the field more, because when he did play, he was very, very good. But it's hard to get that third safety on the football field when you like what you have at the cornerback position. But when one or both were out talking about JT or Buddha, it was Rabbit who was stepped out on the football field. And again, someone that was not a Day one or Day two pick, came in and learned the defense and always was around the football.

When he wasn't thinking and he was playing. He was really effective. Man. We called his name when he was in the game. We called his name a lot on the Cardinals radio broadcast. I had a chance to spend five to ten minutes with him late in the season. It was late December, and he actually literally just sat up up on the counter and he sort of reflected, he really he's mature beyond his ears, but he's also has the mental acuity and to admit, there was a lot he didn't know that the scheme they ran a Texas attack radically different than what Nick Ross and Jonathan Gannon run. And he said, you know, there's a reason I sat in the front row of the position room. There's a reason why I just I said virtually nothing and listened to Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson just talked football and talk about the scheme, and he spoke of how much progress he made mentally, and because he has all the explosion and the physical skills, he much in the same way you know, Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson are. He's a similar body type. And I can see why the Cardinals identified him in the draft because he is that type of safety. And if he's made enough progress mentally, you know what, I'd love to see him get a lot of reps, a lot of snaps in twenty twenty five.

Is there a want? Is there a need? Defensively offensively? I kind of point to where you went as far as the offensive line, specifically a guard, whether that's left guard, right guard, Evan Brown. Do you stay on the left side, you move to the right side because you found someone that you want to pair next to. Paris Johnson Junior, who knows speaking of once and needs. I know your birthday just passed last month. Mine is coming up, Paul, So if you're looking to get me anything. Probably the biggest news though here on this Friday, March fourteenth, Yeah, Marvin Harrison Junior, his uniform is available. MHJ and Fanatics settled their legal dispute, meaning number eighteen jerseys are available as we speak Azycardinals dot com Forward slash Shop or go to Azycardinals dot com and click shop in the upper right hand corner, and I am hold that. On Saturday at State Farm Stadium at the team shop, you can go and pick up your Marvin Harrison Junior number eighteen jersey.

Wow, that's a double ding right there. Yeah, I knew it was a big deal with fans. When they started tweeting me, The news started.

Wow, that's a double ding right there. Yeah, I knew it was a big deal with fans. When they started tweeting me, The news started.

Tweeting me like I got one this morning too.

Tweeting me like I got one this morning too.

Yes, and you're like, okay, I mean this obviously resonates with the Red Sea. I mean, bird Gang is all about it, and you know that's human nature, right, you want what you can't have. And I haven't been able to purchase some Marvin Harrison eighteen jersey. I tell you what though, the white especially to me, man is at a clean look, right Harrison Junior with the eighteen on it, the White Road jersey maybe because it's somewhat akin to the Ohio State look, and so they're a little bit and it's I'm real curious to see how many of those jerseys are going to be in the stands come training camp in this season, and knowing how quickly those things sold, because we know how that that how quickly that can populate a stadium when you get a jersey like that and a guy that's that popular, I'd be very curious to find that out.

Darren Ravel broke the story earlier this week about MHJA and fanatics settling their legal disputes, and according to Darren, he estimated that missing that first year after the draft and his rookie season. Then Marvin Harrison Junior himself cost himself upwards of five hundred thousand dollars in merchandise because of this dispute. So that's all behind him. But again, that goes to show what fans wanted and that's not going to change. If you wanted it, then you're gonna want it now, especially now because you've seen him on the football field and yeah, maybe he didn't meet expectations, but he's not going anywhere and he's only going to get better. So get your eighteen jersey right now before the season begins.

And they track this sort of stuff. They have a powerpole of best selling jerseys, right I mean, TB twelve was the best selling jersey in the NFL for how long, So I'm really cy curious. I could see him entering the top ten, the top five there, I say, real quickly, just because of the suppressed demand over the last year, folks weren't able to get what they wanted.

Again, Paul, it's what I want, so get on it. Well, that's it's good.

Again, Paul, it's what I want, so get on it. Well, that's it's good.

I don't know what Syracuse's track record is against Ohio State, you know, but over the years, you know, so I'm not sure you really want to bring, you know, any sort of more attention to that, in particular the whole collegiate connection.
