Ep. 922 - Yes, the Cardinals finished off the New Orleans Saints. But it was the defense and not the offense that was on the field at the end of the game. And that bothers Kyler Murray.

Ep. 921 - A win is a win no matter how it looks, right? At least it does in Week 1, and it most certainly does in Week 1 on the road. The Cardinals survived their trip to New Orleans, beating the Saints, 20-13. Sure, there’s a lot to correct. But isn’t it better to get those mistakes cleaned up after a win rather than a loss? Of course it is. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at Sunday’s vi...

The season is here, so Paul Calvisi wonders if everyone should be “mean mugging” for opener. Maybe not. We’re still working out the kinks - Paul might’ve briefly misspoke - but he and Darren Urban and Dani Sureck dive into Week 1 heading to New Orleans. What is the biggest key to the season?

Ep. 918 - Don’t get too comfortable. A lot can change between now and the season opener in New Orleans. Yes, the Cardinals announced their 53-man roster, but did you happen to notice that it didn’t include a long snapper? And that’s one of the reasons why head coach Jonathan Gannon made it clear on Wednesday that things are “very fluid” with respects to the roster. Of course, that didn’t stop Crai...
