Ep. 463 - Stopping the run is always the defense’s goal, and this week is no exception. Of course, that’s easier said than done especially when Derrick Henry is running the football. So what will the Cardinals do, or attempt to do, to stop or slow down the game’s best running back? Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki offer some ideas and discuss what defensive coordinator and J.J. Watt had to say about the challenge. First though, might No. 24—the number Adrian Wilson made famous—be back in play, as early as this Sunday?

Ep. 1031 - From 90 to 53 players. The Cardinals made several roster moves over the past couple of days, and more are likely to be made ahead of Week 1. That’s life in the National Football League, where nothing is ever set including the roster. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman do a deep dive on the initial 53-man roster; who was and who wasn’t kept, the number of players kept at key positions and what do the two trades mean for the running back and tight end rooms. Plus, it was back to work on Monday; Carson Beck returned to practice, Josh Sweat participated and Garrett Williams looks like he’s ready to resume his role as slot cornerback.

Ep. 1030 - So, plenty of news on Monday. The biggest of which was Josh Sweat practiced. He was activated off the physically unable to perform list and worked out with his teammates for the first time.

Ep. 1029 - There is a quarterback plan for Saturday. And, no it does not involve Jacoby Brissett, and it most likely does not involve Carson Beck. It’s going to be the Gardner Minshew show, with Kedon Slovis, when the Cardinals host the Dallas Cowboys at State Farm Stadium. This is the Cardinals’ lone home preseason game. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what fans can expect. Then the two react to Garrett Williams’ return to practice, and if Williams is back then what’s the status of Josh Sweat and Tip Reiman, the remaining players on PUP, plus Trey McBride, his name was finally unveiled among the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026.
