Ep. 695 - Not a good homecoming for the head coach. Not a good first impression by the rookie quarterback. Almost nothing went right for the Cardinals on Sunday. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the 27-0 loss in Cleveland, the hometown of Jonathan Gannon. Meanwhile, fifth-round draft pick Clayton Tune did not play well in his first career start. Then, again, the entire offense did not p...

To say that quarterback Clayton Tune had a rough day at the office on Sunday would be an understatement. The rookie signal caller was sacked seven times during a 27-0 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman discuss what went wrong for the Cardinals and why they had trouble getting things going offensively. The Cardinals defense did some good things throughout the...

Ep. 694 - Will it be Kyler Murray or will it be Clayton Tune who gets the start in Cleveland on Sunday? Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday he’d know in the “next 24 hours” who will be QB1. The expectation, though, is that Tune will get the nod. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what the offense might look like with the fifth-round draft pick out of Houston under center. And, more importa...

Ep. 636 - Tight end Trey McBride joins Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to discuss his upbringing in rural Colorado, why he chose football over baseball and basketball, his 2023 season to date, the recent increase in production and confidence and what he sees from rookie QB Clayton Tune.

Ep. 74 - Fue una semana de ajustes el nido. Josh Dobbs fue cambiado a los Vikings y ahora es el momento para el debut de Clayton Tune o para el regreso de Kyler Murray. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen cuál es la mejor opción para el equipo ya que este domingo enfrentan a los Browns quienes son una de las mejores defensivas de toda la NFL. Será un gran partido que podría cambiar el rumbo d...

Ep. 693 - New week, same question. Is this the week we see Kyler Murray make his season debut? There is a possibility, though Dani Sureck is done making predictions on the subject. She - wrongfully - thought Murray would play against the Baltimore Ravens. Sureck and Craig Grialou are in agreement in their belief that it will be Clayton Tune, the rookie out of Houston, who will be QB1 in Cleveland....

It’s spooky season for the Cardinals quarterbacks room this week, as Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have so much to discuss. Josh Dobbs is traded to the Vikings after a half-season starting for the Cardinals, and that clears the way for Kyler Murray’s return. Except Kyler may not quite be ready yet, which would open the door for rookie Clayton Tune to start in Cleveland. What might awa...

Heading into Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, many wondered if the Cardinals would make any moves. The answer is yes. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs and a 2024 7th-round pick were sent to Minnesota in exchange for a 2024 6th-round pick. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander have real-time reaction and discuss what the move means for Sunday's game in Cleveland. Will Kyler Murray return to the ac...

Albert tells some great stories fro...

Ep. 692 - Turnovers. Turnovers on downs. The Cardinals did themselves no favors on Sunday. The loss to the Baltimore Ravens was not as close as the final score would indicate. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the 31-24 defeat. Joshua Dobbs did not play well. He hasn’t played well now for a good four games, yet he will remain the starter according to Jonathan Gannon. Should he? Is Clayto...

The Cardinals offense began Sunday's game with a touchdown but struggled after that during a 31-24 loss to the Ravens at State Farm Stadium. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman talk about the passing game struggles including two costly interceptions thrown by Joshua Dobbs. On the defensive side, the Cardinals received contributions from several young players including rookies Dante Stills...

Ep. 691 - For the first time, Hollywood Brown faces his former team. The reunion takes place on Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens visit State Farm Stadium. Brown leads the Cardinals in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. In other words, he’s having a good year. Now, will he have his good friend Kyler Murray throwing him the football here in Week 8? That is an excellent question. C...

Ep. 635 - Rookie cornerback Garrett Williams joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss his NFL debut last week in Seattle. It's been a long road back to the field for Williams who spent the better part of a year rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered last season while in college at Syracuse. Williams also talks about getting an pick in his first game action, his initial impr...

Ep. 73 - Los Cardenales seguirán peleando hasta el final y este domingo reciben a los Ravens que llegan como uno de los mejores equipos en la NFL. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen porque será una dura prueba para Josh Dobbs ya que Baltimore es la mejor defensiva de la liga. Por otra parte, Kyler Murray ya está cada vez más cerca de regresar y eso pudiera ser muy importante. Todo esto y más...

Ep. 690 – Is two weeks of practice enough for Kyler Murray to make his return? Dani Sureck believes it is, and she has been steadfast in her belief ever since Murray was designated to return. Craig Grialou, meanwhile, thinks Murray would benefit from more practice time before making his season debut. Who’s right? We’ll see. But it should be noted that Murray was listed as a full participant on Wed...

Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck finally go simulcast on the podcast, recording for audio and YouTube, and they are (kind of) ready for their close-up. There is still lots to talk about, even before the in-depth Kyler Murray discussion, of which there is plenty. There is also Zach Ertz’s IR trip, Trey McBride’s opportunity, moving on from K’Von Wallace and the Budda Baker experience, Hol...

The Cardinals offense struggled to take advantage of opportunities on Sunday during a 20-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch talk about the need to find rhythm and timing on offense and to get themselves in more manageable third down situations. Plus, discussions about Budda Baker’s return to play, rookie Garrett Williams’ impressive NFL debut and the...

Ep. 689 - It’s a passing league and right now, the Cardinals don’t have a passing game. At least not a successful passing game. Is that on the quarterback, the offensive line, the receivers, or a combination of all of the above? Whatever the reason, the Cardinals need to get it fixed. That is the backdrop as Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss Sunday’s 20-10 loss at the Seattle Seahawks. While...

The Cardinals can point to several miscues that were contributing factors in a 20-10 loss to the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday. Dani Sureck, Zach Grershman and Jody Jackson highlight some of the plays that hurt the team like a missed field goal, lack of execution on a fake punt attempt, an overall poor performance from the passing offense and the inability to convert Seahawks turnovers into points...

Ep. 688 - Five games. That’s how long it’s been since Budda Baker has played. The expectation, at least from Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman, is that Baker will return on Sunday, when the Cardinals visit the Seattle Seahawks, which just happens to be Baker’s hometown team. That, plus knowing how much Baker hates to be on the sideline, is what has led the guys to make that conclusion. Also, they ge...

Ep. 634 - Running back Keaontay Ingram joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley from Trophy in Chandler to discuss his new role while starter James Conner rehabs his injury, the importance of executing in the red zone, Budda Baker's leadership and the upcoming matchup with the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.

Ep. 687 - A two-word tweet just before 10 a.m. was what Cardinals fans had been waiting for. “Practicing today,” Kyler Murray wrote. And true to his word(s), Murray was in his No. 1 practice jersey with the rest of his teammates on Wednesday; for the first time in more than 10 months. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck react to what they saw -- as limited as it may have been -- as well as what the day’...

Our trio of Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck get a little loose in the turns to open this latest episode, but quickly focus on what’s important - like conversations about both Joshua Dobbs and his current arc at quarterback, and when Kyler Murray will return to actually play. There is also talk about Hollywood Brown’s near-misses in L.A. and his overall future, the need to get Michael Wi...
