Ep. 1013 - There’s no mistaking the smile. New Cardinals wide receiver Reggie Virgil is a happy man. He’s happy to have been drafted. He’s happy the Cardinals took a chance on him. He’s happy for the opportunity to learn from the number of talented pass catchers on the team. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman talk about their early impressions and interactions with the fifth-round pick out of Texas Tech plus what role(s) Virgil may play in his first NFL season. Then the guys hear from the man himself. Recently, Virgil joined Paul Calvisi to discuss his background, college career, how fast he really is, and why he may be “a little annoying” around Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Reggie Virgil, a Self-Described ‘Big Energy Guy,’ Eager to Learn

Ep. 1012 - It’s a good problem to have. Especially given what the Cardinals went through at running back last season. The additions of Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier have increased the depth and significantly - at least on paper - upgraded the position. Now how everything shakes out once the team breaks training camp is anyone's guess. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go in depth about running back, including how head coach Mike LaFleur may divvy up snaps and carries among the different players. From there, Craig and Zach turn their attention to what the Cardinals did to address the run defense, specifically signing Andrew Billings and Roy Lopez in free agency. It’s a run-heavy show, Bird Gang.

Ep. 1011 - And that’s a wrap; the offseason work - the official work, anyway - is done. Nothing now until training camp. That doesn’t stop Craig Grialou and Darren Urban from looking back at what the Cardinals accomplished over the past nine weeks under first-year head coach Mike LaFleur. Craig and Darren discuss the good news like the overall health of the team, especially about what LaFleur had to say about Garrett Williams; the guys also talk about the uncertainty at quarterback, how LaFleur handles rookies, and the one position battle that’s been settled. From there, Craig and Darren speak about how many Cardinals they think will make this year’s NFL Top 100 list and whether or not they believe Calais Campbell, who has said once again “this is probably going to be my last year.”

Ep. 1010 - Your best ability is availability. Yes, it’s cliché. But it’s also true. Last season Marvin Harrison Jr. was not available for every game as he was as a rookie in 2024. To this day that bothers him. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman talk about what they heard from Harrison this week before getting into a discussion about expectations and a likely role for the former first-round pick in a Mike LaFleur-coached offense. From there, the conversation turns to Josh Sweat and his future, Sean Murphy-Bunting and his comeback from a knee injury, and is this really going to happen? Is Aaron Donald really considering coming out of retirement? The Rams with Donald AND Myles Garrett?!
