Ep. 803 - It’s been a long week. Losing happens, yes. But losing like that, by 28 points despite a relatively healthy roster, is not something the Cardinals had ever experienced under head coach Jonathan Gannon. So, here’s the question: what is the team’s response on Sunday in San Francisco? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look ahead to the matchup against the 49ers, the first of two meetings this season. Also, they discuss the latest injury news - good news on tight end Trey McBride, uncertain news for kicker Matt Prater - and head into enemy territory. Lindsey Pallares, team reporter for 49ers.com, joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 684 - Elijah Higgins joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to talk about his second year in the NFL, the transition from college wide receiver to NFL tight end, how he ended up at Stanford, his "Higgy Bear" nickname, Trey McBride's impact and much more. Plus, a preview of the upcoming NFC West battle with the 49ers on Sunday in Santa Clara.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 113 - El equipo está listo para enfrentar a los 49ers en un duelo divisional muy importante de la semana 5 de la temporada regular. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos hablan de las claves para vencer a San Francisco y nos dicen cuál será la clave para salir de la bahía con una Victoria que sería muy motivante.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 802 - He’s only one player. And he only missed one game. But when Kyler Murray says it’ll be “huge” to have Trey McBride back on the field this week, that means something. And it might mean a lot for an offense that has been held to 13 and 14 points, respectively, the past two weeks. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss McBride’s potential return. Darius Robinson, however, is not returning this week, and that’s disappointing. Craig and Dani also talk about Kyler’s running; Marvin Harrison Jr.’s catching; how well Paris Johnson Jr. has played left tackle; the challenge of facing the 49ers on Sunday; and give a shout-out to Jon Gaines, one of Dani’s favorites.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck get philosophical after the Cardinals’ loss to the Commanders, acknowledging early that Paul is no Erin Andrews, and that Tom Brady will be in the house for the 49ers game. This week’s discussion includes how the adaptations Jonathan Gannon promised might look like on the field, a run defense tested then and now, the potential of a Darius Robinson return, the “week after the Lions” games, missing Trey McBride and needing more MHJ, Brock Purdy surging and of course, this week’s Wise Guy, Eye-Andy style.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"We can't look like that." Those were the words of head coach Jonathan Gannon after the Cardinals dropped their Week 4 matchup with the Washington Commanders by the score of 42-14. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch look back at what happened on Sunday. The offense started strong again but struggled as the game progressed; the defense couldn't stop Kliff Kingsbury's offense led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. So, how do the Cardinals get back on track and back into the win column? That task only gets tougher as the team prepares for a big NFC West showdown with the San Francisco 49ers on the road in Week 5.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 801 - No excuses. Not after that game. The Cardinals did not look good, they did not play good and the end result was a 42-14 home loss to the Washington Commanders. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what happened in Week 4, from a defense that could not stop the run nor get consistent pressure on Jayden Daniels to an offense that has no trouble scoring on its opening possession only to go cold for much of the rest of the game. So, what are the solutions? Where do the Cardinals go from here? All great questions. The guys have their thoughts. Also, Paul hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award. It goes to second-year cornerback Garrett Williams, whose interception was one of the few bright spots on Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 42-14 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Plus, Paul Calvisi conducts exclusive locker room interviews with defensive back Garrett Williams and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 800 - No one will say it publicly, but how can it not be just another game? Not when the former head coach is on the other sideline, calling plays trying to beat a handful of the same players he once went to battle with. It should be interesting on Sunday with Kliff Kingsbury back at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the matchup against the Washington Commanders; a matchup in which the Cardinals will not have tight end Trey McBride or defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga. How does that change things? The good news: both safety Budda Baker and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will be available after landing on the injury report this week. Also, they head into enemy territory and speak with Zach Selby. He covers the Commanders for commanders.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 683 - Defensive lineman L.J. Collier joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss his season to date, moving on from a physical battle with the Lions, how he takes care of his body, what's impressive about rookies Marvin Harrison Jr. and Darius Robinson, and the vibe heading into this weekend's matchup with the Washington Commanders at State Farm Stadium. Plus, Collier talks about his upbringing and explains what it was like to grow up in a small Texas town.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 112 - Todo está listo para recibir a los Commanders en el State Farm Stadium. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen porqué hay motivación de sobra en el nido. Será acaso por el regreso de Kliff Kingsbury? Hay muchos temas interesantes en este partido de la semana 4 y no se puede perder en este episodio de La Tacleada Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 799 - Kliff is back. So, too, is Jayden Daniels. And don’t forget about Zach Ertz. Sure, there are a handful of others, be it coaches and players with connections to the Cardinals who will be back at State Farm Stadium on Sunday, but it’s Kliff Kingsbury’s return that is grabbing most, if not all, of the headlines. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what it’s going to be like with Kliff in the building and Kyler Murray on the opposite sideline. Big deal or not a big deal? Also, the latest on Justin Jones, Kelvin Beachum and Jackson Barton; and is that Marvin Harrison Jr. and Budda Baker on the injury report? Good thing it’s early in the week. Plus, everything in the run game and the pass game is correctable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NFL is one big reality check, it seems (just look at the record of picks Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have posted through three weeks) and that includes the Cardinals after a physical loss to the Lions. It laid the groundwork for a podcast in which our trio discuss the missing run game (and Kyler running), how physical the game was and what was left in its wake, the Cardinals’ pass catchers beyond Marvin Harrison Jr., getting more Trey McBride, the injury to Justin Jones, the Commanders coming to Arizona to practice this week, Kliff Kingsbury’s return, Budda Baker’s blistering blasting of opponents, and, of course, Paul’s attempt to stop the runaway train that is Darren in this week’s Wise Guy segment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals dropped a tough home game to the Detroit Lions on Sunday and now must shift their focus to the Washington Commanders who visit State Farm Stadium in Week 4. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss the Lions aftermath, how the offense can jump start a run game that had little production against Detroit, the strong second half by the Cardinals defense and the physical toll the game took on both teams. Plus, a look ahead to the Commanders team that saw a great offensive performance from rookie QB Jayden Daniels on Monday night against the Bengals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 798 - Not sure you could’ve asked for much more out of the defense. They pitched a shutout in the second half. The offense, however, couldn’t take advantage. No run game. No downfield passing game. No sustained drives. It’s left everyone with the opposite feeling compared to this time a week ago. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss all that happened - and what didn’t happen - in Sunday’s 20-13 loss to the Detroit Lions. And though there is no Paul Calvisi - as we like to say, he’s on assignment the day after the game - the Angry Bird Award is still handed out. Both Craig and Dani agree Mack Wilson Sr. is worthy of the recognition for the plays he made and that one play he did but it didn’t count.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 797 - Despite the loss last week, the Detroit Lions are a good football team. Very good in the eyes of head coach Jonathan Gannon, who several times mentioned the test his team faces in Week 3. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman give their thoughts on Sunday’s matchup, which is the second of three straight games at State Farm Stadium for the Cardinals. The guys discuss the availability of right tackle Kelvin Beachum and how the offensive line needs to slow down the league’s top sack artist in Aidan Hutchinson. They then get the thoughts of Matt Dery as the show heads into enemy territory. Dery is the host of the Locked On Lions podcast. Finally, stay listening for Zach’s predictions. He gives three.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 682 - Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss the Cardinals dominating win over the Rams, Kyler Murray's historic game, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s electrifying performance and what to expect from the the high-powered Lions offense. Plus Wilson, who has collected 13 tackles through his first two games in Arizona, talks about his fit in Nick Rallis' defense and reveals why he chose Arizona in free agency instead of returning to the New England Patriots.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 111 - Luego de la tremenda priemera victoria de la tempoada, el equipo sabe que no se puede dormir en sus laurels ya que el siguiente rival podría ser muy complicado. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen cuales serán las claves para vencer a los Lions que llegan a State Farm Stadium como uno de los favoritos para llegar al Super Bowl.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
