Ep. 589 - Well, that was not what anyone expected to see on Sunday. It’s one thing to lose. It’s another to get outplayed in every phase of the game. And the Cardinals were certainly outplayed in a 44-21 season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi give their thoughts, starting with a defense that is undermanned. They then shift their attention to the offense, which was held to just seven points through three quarters. Overall, where do the Cardinals go from here? The guys revisit Dennis Gardeck’s postgame comments.

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.
