Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the primetime matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cardinals will try to bounce back from a bad loss the week prior.

Ep. 808 - No, the Cardinals have not gotten off to the start that they had hoped. Yet, a third of the way through the season, they remain “a player” within the NFC, and more importantly, the NFC West. The NFL is “setup for parity,” according to ESPN Analyst Louis Riddick, who joined both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck on Wednesday. Riddick, who will be on the call for Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, praised Kyler Murray, James Conner, and Trey McBride among others, while questioning - as many have - how many more injuries the defense can endure. Before that conversation, Craig and Dani discuss who was and who wasn’t at the week’s first practice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So the trio discuss and debate the IR taking more key players from the Cardinals (and the Chargers too, for that matter), the need for the passing game and wide receivers to pop, Marvin Harrison Jr.’s three C’s (or four, or five depending when Paul stops counting), a Cam Skattebo nickname, too many raccoons, Jim Harbaugh’s return, the ball-control Chargers, and an episode of The Wise Guy in which Darren has some success for once.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Uncharacteristic. That word sums up the Cardinals performance in their 34-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

Ep. 807 - Winning in the NFL is already hard enough. The Cardinals made it a heck of a lot more difficult on themselves in Green Bay. Too many penalties. Too many turnovers. Too many negative plays. “If you beat yourself, you’re not going to beat anybody; we played versus two opponents today,” head coach Jonathan Gannon said following the 34-13 loss to the Packers. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi, who has dried off after a rainy Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field, discuss what happened. And it wasn’t just the penalties and the turnovers that hurt the team, injuries - to key players - played a significant role as well. It’s why Paul named center Hjalte Froholdt his Angry Bird Award winner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch break down a thrilling 24-23 Cardinals victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara. The defense pitched another second-half shutout which was fueled by forcing three turnovers; the running game propelled the offense, early with Kyler Murray's long TD run and late when the offense leaned on James Conner; Marvin Harrison Jr. made a huge catch on fourth down in the fourth quarter; and oh yeah, the Cardinals got a clutch field goal from recently signed kicker Chad Ryland, who was sitting on his couch a week ago.

Ep. 804 - Now that’s how you respond after a difficult loss. There may not be a more satisfying win all season. On the road. Division opponent.

And, oh yeah, it was hot on Sunday; very hot, which Paul can attest to. Big plays were made by Kyler Murray and James Conner, who earned this week’s Angry Bird Award; also shout-out the offensive line. And then the defense, for the second time in three games, pitched a second-half shutout with three takeaways and turnover on downs.
