Ep. 704 - Three games. Seven weeks of practice. Kyler Murray is just getting started, while the rest of his teammates are nearing the end. So, yes, there are going to be games like Sunday, especially on offense. But what separated Week 12 from the previous weeks was that it wasn’t just the offense. It was the defense. It was special teams. It was the entire team. And as a result, the Cardinals lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 37-14. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what happened, or better said, what didn’t happen. Also, what Dennis Gardeck had to say to Calvisi postgame is worth a listen. Plus, Calvisi - once again in person - reveals this week’s Angry Bird Award winner.

Ep. 986 - Happy New Year, Bird Gang! And on this the first day of the new league year, there is plenty to talk about; a lot of what has been reported is now official. Yes, that includes the future of Kyler Murray. And that’s where Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman begin the show. Murray has been released, while Gardner Minshew will reportedly sign to join holdovers Jacoby Brissett and Kedon Slovis. Who will be QB1? The guys also discuss what has quickly become a loaded running back room, additions along the line of scrimmage including a new starting guard and a familiar face returning to the defensive line, plus seven rounds equals seven draft picks come April.

Ep. 985 - Marvin Harrison Jr. Michael Wilson. Trey McBride. Three very capable pass catchers, and in the case of McBride, maybe the best at his position. In other words, it should be a quarterback-friendly offense regardless of who might be under center for the Cardinals in 2026, according to Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus. He joined Craig Grialou, who is flying solo on today’s show, at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last week. The two had a really good conversation about Marvin, Michael, and Trey. Also, the guys looked back at the first season of Walter Nolen III, debated pass protect vs. pass rush with the third overall pick, and then Trevor explained the difficulty teams - like the Cardinals - might have finding a trade partner to move in the draft.

Ep. 984 - Doubling up one more time this week. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck continue to look back at their time in Indianapolis and the 2026 Scouting Combine. It was a busy week which produced a number of great interviews, two of which are featured on today’s show. From ESPN, Dan Graziano and Ben Solak joined Craig and Dani to discuss whether the Cardinals might lean edge rush or offensive line in the first round; they give their thoughts on last year’s draft class which had a handful of players flash and regardless of what happens at quarterback, both agree there is talent on that side of the ball. All this on what is the final Friday of the year.
