Ep. 780 - It’s what Jonathan Gannon asks of his defense. Play with motor and violence. And on Wednesday, there may have been a little bit too much of the latter; at least there was between two players who were asked to leave the field mid-practice by the head coach.

Ep. 779 - It’s often said that the most important relationship on a football team is the relationship between the head coach and the starting quarterback.

And perhaps better than good, according to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, who stopped by #CardsCamp recently for the network’s “Inside Training Camp”...

Ep. 778 - It’s not the news anyone wanted to hear. Second-year outside linebacker BJ Ojulari did indeed suffer a season-ending injury to his left knee at Friday’s practice.

You hate it for the team, which was relying on a big Year 1 to Year 2 jump from Ojulari, especially in terms of rushing the passer. So,...

Ep. 776 - Yes, it helps to have a franchise quarterback. And now a true No. 1 wide receiver. But the Cardinals offense in 2024 isn’t only Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. There is so much more. And for Charles Robinson, Senior NFL Reporter for Yahoo Sports, the most important piece of the puzzle just may be offensive coordinator Drew Petzing; the person pulling the strings, so to speak. Robins...

Everyone should know that it is "Blake**"** Gillikin who is the excellent punter for the Cardinals.
