Ep. 426 - After dreaming about Julio Jones, Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki snap back into reality for a discussion about the team’s two young inside linebackers, Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons. Recent comments by director of player personnel Dru Grigson and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph suggest both Collins and Simmons are more than ready for their expected roles in 2021. Collins is taking charge in the huddle, while Simmons is being prepped to be used all over the field. And both, as Grialou and Jurecki mention, will benefit from the veteran leadership around them.

Ep. 1009 - Signed back in March, Gardner Minshew is currently QB1. How long will he last in that role? Good question. For his part, it doesn’t sound like Minshew is all that worried about his role, at least not publicly. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react to hearing from Minshew for the first time since he arrived in the desert. He spoke after Wednesday’s practice, which was the second OTA open to the media. Craig and Zach discuss what they saw and a lot about what they heard from head coach Mike LaFleur and safety Budda Baker, who mentioned that there’s a ping pong table in the locker room. Interesting. Also, the preseason schedule is finalized; just when are the Cardinals playing their four games?

Ep. 1007 - It was just the start, but no less important. For the first time since the draft, the rookie class, including first-round pick Jeremiyah Love, was on the field, wearing Cardinals gear and doing football-related activities. It wasn’t a full-blown practice, but it did represent the first time this group of players experienced life in the NFL. Their college days are no more. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they saw and, more importantly, what they heard both on and off the field during rookie minicamp; from Love describing how he plans to handle his life-changing money to Carson Beck and head coach Mike LaFleur talking about the importance of a quarterback’s cadence. Plus, we now know when the 2026 schedule will be released.
