Cardinals Underground

Craig Grialou wants Darren Urban and Dani Sureck to be ready for the daylight savings time change this weekend as they go to Dallas. How kind of him.

Our trio tackles those topics, as well as the hope for more pass rush, the meaning of the Seattle fumble that turned into a Seahawks momentum shift, th...

Craig Grialou, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are back to hit the podcast like Mack Wilson on Ladd McConkey, after the Cardinals knocked off the Chargers in Week 1. What to talk about?

The gang has come back to Tempe (for now) as training camp continues, although next week’s joint practice with the Packers in Green Bay means the pod will be on the road soon enough.

As the Cardinals come to the end of camp out at State Farm Stadium, Craig Grialou is still smarting from a throwaway Darren Urban comment, but he rises from the grave to join Darren and Dani Sureck to chat about Carson Beck’s debut and his no-look practice pass, the fun of getting mail, the starters playing in Vegas against the Raiders, Jeremiyah Love’s first game coming, Chase Bisontis early retu...

It was a tough morning for Darren Urban before recording the pod this week; changing flat tires stinks. But of course Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck provided the proper sympathy, before our trio get into the football at hand: Jacoby Brissett’s new contract and all that encompasses the narratives around the likely QB1, Jeremiyah Love’s rookie status and how that somehow got sideways for no good reas...

What positions did they choose? The hint: one on offense, two on defense. Let the debates begin. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

OK, so Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck probably don’t want to be an assistant to Darren Urban. That’s OK. At some point, Darren needs to be more efficient with his time - on or off the clock.
