Ep. 898 - Yes, Brock Purdy remains the quarterback. Christian McCaffrey – healthy, by the way – is firmly entrenched at running back, and George Kittle is, well, George Kittle.

Next stop: San Francisco. Craig and Zach are joined by Matt Barr...

Ep. 895 - Given all the defensive additions, whether via free agency or the draft, it’s hard not to list the Arizona Cardinals among the most improved teams from last season. At least on paper. And here in June. What happens between now and when the season begins in September is anyone’s guess. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi – who thankfully made it to work after replacing a dead car battery – discuss where the team has improved th...

Ep. 894 - Is it possible? Of course. Is it realistic? Good question. The Cardinals do like to run the ball, and if they can play from ahead more times than not, then Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman see no reason why to disagree with Trey Benson’s outlook on the season ahead for him and James Conner. Plus, Craig and Zach see plenty of benefits of having two starting-caliber running backs. Also part of Wednesday’s show, how former hi...

Ep. 893 - Seven weeks. From the start of the offseason strength and conditioning program to the final day of minicamp. Whether it was on the field or in a press conference setting, what were the top takeaways? Craig Grialou and Darren Urban - before Darren goes on vacation - discuss what stood out to them; a lot of talk about the offense, counting on wide receiver as is, adding extra ‘sauce’ as Trey McBride explained the pre-snap m...

Ep. 892 - There’s no question Josh Sweat can get after opposing quarterbacks. It’s why he was targeted in free agency and ultimately landed a sizable contract to leave the east coast for the desert southwest. But that’s not all he can do, or will be asked to do with the Arizona Cardinals. Sweat is a three-down linebacker. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what that means within the defensive scheme, Sweat reuniting with Jonat...

Ep. 891 - More points. Less turnovers. Of course, that’s the easy answer. But what else might ‘efficient’ look like, and, by the way, that’s the word Jonathan Gannon used when talking about the offense going into this upcoming season. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck have their own thoughts on what to expect from an offense that is running it back from a year ago, at least in terms of personnel. Also, on the eve of mandatory minicamp,...

Ep. 890 - His individual numbers may not jump off the stat page, but Zaven Collins brings more than just numbers to the defense. He brings versatility. More importantly, he’s earned the trust of both head coach Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis. They see value in Collins more so than perhaps fans and many in the media. Craig Grialou, back from vacation, and Darren Urban discuss Collins’ importance to the team. A...

Ep. 888 - As OTAs continue to roll along for the Cardinals, the conversation surrounding the team’s depth continues to be discussed. Zach Gershman and Darren Urban (yes, you read that correctly) talk about the latest on Cardinals Cover 2. With the arrival of Jacoby Brissett, what does that mean for Clayton Tune in the backup quarterback competition? Can Trey Benson take that sophomore season leap even while James Conner plays at a ...

Ep. 886 - It’s called Phase 3, when teams can line up offense against defense. Still no contact but practice looks more like football. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck preview the start of organized team activities, better known as OTAs for short. How much do we see of the newcomers, whether that’s Josh Sweat or Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson? What about those players who we didn’t see a lot of in 2024 like BJ Ojulari, Justin Jones...

Ep. 885 - A new look Marvin Harrison Jr. met the media on Monday. He “added some muscle” he told reporters. And there was a very specific reason why. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what Harrison had to say; why it was important for him to get stronger, how he’s treating his first full offseason, what a successful Year 2 looks like for him, and in Year 2 it’ll be good for him to see his No. 18 jersey in the stands. Also, so...

Ep. 883 - Rookies. Veterans. The entire team is together for the first time. That’s what Monday signaled, the next step in the offseason.

After giving Monti his due, Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss rookie minicamp; why Hayden Conner may be an early candidate for Paul’s breakout player o...

Ep. 880 - Six free agents. Six draft picks. In just two months, the Arizona Cardinals have added 12 new players to the defense. And now, it’s up to Nick Rallis to figure out how they all fit together. While he does that - and he’s got four months before the season starts - Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi have a way-too-early conversation about the defense. What will it look like?
