Ep. 1025 - Football returns on Thursday, and it returns in the form on the Hall of Fame Game in Canton. It’ll be the Cardinals and Carolina Panthers. Then, two days later, Larry Fitzgerald will be officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, taking his rightful place among the all-time greats of the game. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman help set the stage for the week by speaking with NBC TV analyst Cris Collinsworth, who will be on the call with Mike Tirico and Melissa Stark on Thursday. Collinsworth tells stories of both Fitzgerald the player, remembering his playoff performances from 2008 and 2015, and the person before Craig and Zach ask Collinsworth to give his thoughts on first-year head coach Mike LaFleur and the 2026 Arizona Cardinals.

Ep. 1024 - January. That’s the last time the Cardinals played a game. Some seven months ago. On Thursday, they and the Carolina Panthers suit up for the Hall of Fame Game in Canton. And because there’s a game, that means there’s a depth chart, the first of the preseason. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go over it, focusing first on the defense and the position battles that do exist in the coaches’ eyes. Then it’s the offense, and no, it’s not a big deal that Jeremiyah Love is listed behind Tyler Allgeier at running back. What is a big deal, though, was seeing Walter Nolen III practice on Sunday after leaving Friday’s practice early. Nolen has looked good so far in training camp. Also, Craig and Zach discuss who stood out during Sunday’s Back Together Weekend practice.

Ep. 1023 - It’s eight days into training camp. There’s less than a week before the Cardinals’ preseason opener. Yet, there’s six weeks before the Cardinals play their first game of the regular season. In other words, there’s time. Time to determine roles. That was the message conveyed by rookie running back Jeremiyah Love on Friday. In his mind, he’s proven nothing yet despite the high expectations that come with being the third overall pick. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what Love had to say in addition to the comments made by Tyler Allgeier the day before. And while nothing has been determined publicly about how Love and Allgeier will be used this season, that doesn’t stop Craig and Dani from speculating. Plus, the two give their top takeaways from what was another padded practice earlier in the day.

Ep. 1022 - It’s early in his tenure as head coach, but already Mike LaFleur has made it known what he feels is the best way to evaluate players. In pads, playing 11-on-11. In other words, his words, “real football.” For the second straight day at training camp, the Cardinals practiced in full pads. Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez discuss what they saw, in-between all the laundry on the field. Yeah, a lot of flags thrown by the officials, due to penalties on both sides of the ball. Jeremiyah Love continues to impress - he was the first name Jesus mentioned; Marvin Harrison Jr. bounced back from a difficult practice the day before; and Carson Beck may have had his best of work, closing with a touchdown pass to Bryson Green who made a diving catch in the end zone to finish a successful 2-minute drill.
