Ep. 956 - There’s losing a game and then there’s getting beat. And on Sunday, the Cardinals were beaten “in every facet,” according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, who added the 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams was “very humbling.” Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at what went wrong; why the offense couldn’t stay on the field, why the defense couldn’t get off the field. The Cardinals saw firsthand just how good the Rams are here in 2025. Also, the Cardinals can’t escape the injury bug (three more players got hurt) and Paul hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award. It goes to Michael Wilson, a brand new father who has elevated his game when WR1.

Ep. 964 - In the spirit of Bill Belichick circa 2014, the Arizona Cardinals are on to Cincinnati this week. They play the Bengals, who are coming off maybe their best win of the season. The Cardinals, meanwhile, hope Sunday is the day they put an end to a season-long seven-game losing streak. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman break down the matchup, focus on the challenge Will Johnson and Denzel Burke face trying to slow down the Bengals’ two top wide receivers in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, plus go over who will and who will not play in Week 18. Also, the guys head into enemy territory. Geoff Hobson joins the show. He’s the senior writer for Bengals.com. It’s the Cardinals first trip to Cincinnati since 2019.

Ep. 963 - If you listen to either head coach Jonathan Gannon or defensive coordinator Nick Rallis, they both have been pleased with the season-long play of Darius Robinson. The stats, though, haven’t always been there. Until Sunday. On Sunday, Robinson had arguably his best game of his career. Craig Grialou and Darren Urban - yes, we got @Cardschatter on the show - discuss what they saw, the impact Robinson made, and what that may mean for Robinson heading into next season, especially given the uncertain status of Walter Nolen III. Also, Craig and Darren talk about the challenge this week for cornerbacks Will Johnson and Denzel Burke, provide an update on Budda Baker, and explain maybe why the Cardinals have two kickers on the active roster.

Ep. 962 - A much better start. A much better run game. But not a much better result. On Sunday, the Cardinals lost their home finale and lost more players to injury. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what they saw during the 26-19 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. There were some good moments, including scores on the first four offensive possessions, which was a first this season. And then there were some not-so-good moments, specifically Garrett Williams and Walter Nolen III carted off the field with what appeared to be devastating injuries. Through it all, the Cardinals battled and gave themselves a chance to win in the end, but just not enough plays were made to stop what is now a seven-game losing streak.
