Arizona Cardinals Podcasts

It’s nearly Thanksgiving, although Dani Sureck is foregoing her beloved green bean casserole despite her strong feelings on the subject. We can’t always get what we want, like the Cardinals wanting to emerge from Seattle with a win, now having to face a strong Vikings team in frigid Minnesota (yes, we know the game is inside.) Dani joins Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban to discuss the offensive line dealing with Leonard Williams and what the Seahawks might be building before their visit to Arizona next week, Trey McBride’s dominance, the importance of James Conner production, Garrett Williams underrated, a long drought in Minnesota, whether there should be weather games, Wise Guy domination, and doggie Ozempic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals four-game win streak was snapped after a 16-6 loss in Seattle on Sunday. Arizona will look for a rebound in Week 13 against the 9-2 Vikings in Minnesota this weekend. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss ways to correct the inefficient offensive performance against the Seahawks, the defense continuing to give the team a chance to win, the biggest challenges the Cardinals will see against the Vikings and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 823 - Blame the noise. Blame the weather. Credit the defense. Whatever the reason, the Cardinals offense did not show up in Seattle on Sunday. From Kyler Murray on down, it was a struggle. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at what went wrong - the inability to get the run game going, the inability to stop defensive lineman Leonard Williams from getting into the backfield - in a 16-6 loss against the Seahawks, who now lead the NFC West. The guys also praise the play of Trey McBride, who had a career day in defeat, and the work of the defense which held Geno Smith and company to 10 points; that should be good enough to win any game. Speaking of the defense, props to former Seahawk L.J. Collier, he earned Paul’s weekly Angry Bird Award.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. Plus, Paul Calvisi conducts exclusive locker room interviews with wide receiver Michael Wilson and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 822 - So, how do the Cardinals play coming out of the bye week? That’s been the question all week considering how well the team was playing going into the bye week. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman explain why they believe there will be no drop-off on Sunday in Seattle. It helps, the guys think, that it’s a division game and a game with major implications in the standings. With weather potentially being a factor – rain is in the forecast, though even if it wasn’t – running back James Conner is expected to play a key role in the matchup. He’s got good numbers against the Seahawks, and the Seahawks have struggled against the run; that other topics are brought up when Craig and Zach speak with John Boyle, senior reporter for Seahawks.com. He joins the show to help preview the Week 12 matchup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 691 - Rookie tight end Tip Reiman joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss the early days of his NFL career, making an impact in the Cardinals run game, having the opportunity to learn from veterans like Budda Baker and James Conner, growing up in tiny Sturgis, South Dakota, using pottery as an escape from the brutality of football and much more.

Ep. 821 - It is a day of returns. Right tackle Jonah Williams is back on the 53-man roster, rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson is back practicing, and more importantly, Dani Sureck is back on the show. She and Craig Grialou discuss whether the team should reinsert Williams into the starting lineup given how well Kelvin Beachum has played in Williams’ absence; how excited Robinson is to be on the field after so much time rehabbing a calf injury; and playing in Seattle, always a tough visit for opponents, though the Cardinals have had their success. Speaking of Seattle, the game marks another homecoming for Budda Baker. He and the entire secondary have held their own against many of the league’s top wide receivers in recent weeks. Craig and Dani have the numbers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 820 - The bye week is over. Time to get back to work. And that’s exactly what the Cardinals did on Monday with what head coach Jonathan Gannon called a “bonus” practice. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they saw and, more importantly, who they saw. (Spoiler alert: rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson was on the field.) Also, the guys look back at what was a very successful Week 11 for the Cardinals. Despite the team not playing, they won on Sunday.

Ep. 819 - Six wins. A four-game winning streak. Sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Things are going well for the Arizona Cardinals thus far in 2024. Surprised? Some people may be. The coaches and the players in the building are not. As the Cardinals head into their bye week, Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look back at the season’s first 10 games, look ahead to the season’s final seven games; they also discuss who and what position groups have stood out; the impact this year’s rookie class has made, and hopefully will continue to make; when to expect a handful of injured players to return; but they begin with Kyler Murray, NFC Offensive Player of the Week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Four straight wins and all alone atop the NFC West heading into the bye week. That's where the Arizona Cardinals stand after a 31-6 victory over the New York Jets in Week 10. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson break down everything that happened on Sunday. Kyler Murray was phenomenal, passing for 266 yards and accounting for three total touchdowns; James Conner and Trey Benson combined for 200 yards of total offense; Trey McBride's hurdling was on display yet again and the Cardinals defense shut down Aaron Rodgers and the Jets offense, making it three straight home games of not allowing an offensive touchdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 818 - It is yet another Victory Monday. And that means, hot dogs. Yes, hot dogs. Paul Calvisi explains before he and Craig Grialou discuss the Cardinals’ 31-6 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. That’s four straight wins, and each win has been a little bit different. This week it was Kyler Murray, or as Jonathan Gannon described, “the best player on the planet;” Trey Benson who had his best game of his young career and earned the coveted Angry Bird Award for Week 10; Trey McBride continued his ascension as - arguably - the top tight end in the game; plus the defense, led by Budda Baker, held Aaron Rodgers and the Jets out of the end zone, the third straight home game not allowing a touchdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 817 - You know what’s better than five wins? Six wins. And six wins going into the bye week would be impressive for a Cardinals team many didn’t see competing let along leading the NFC West at the midway point of the season. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what it’s going to take to reach six wins given what’s standing in the Cardinals’ way, a New York Jets team that is much more talented than its 3-6 record would indicate. Eric Allen, senior reporter for newyorkjets.com, joins the show as the guys head into enemy territory to further preview the matchup on Sunday. First though, who will and who will not play in Week 10.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
