Ep. 673 - Running the football is key. And sure, that can be said each week, but perhaps more so this week. The expectation is James Conner needs to have a big day in order for the Cardinals to get a win. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss Sunday’s matchup against the Giants. Both want to see Conner get more touches than he did in Week 1. Obviously, that’s easier said than done. Stopping the run will be important as well. The Giants feature one of the better backs in the game in Saquon Barkley. Also, the guys get the New York perspective. John Schmeelk, radio pre/postgame and podcast host for the Giants, joins the show.

Ep. 1008 - The workweek begins with all players in the building and on the field for Phase 3 of the offseason program. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the start of organized team activities, or OTAs for short. Craig and Zach then break down the just-released Cardinals’ schedule. The who and the where have been known for months. Now the when, how the 17 games over 18 weeks will be stacked. And let’s be honest, the schedule is a tough one. It’s front-loaded with road trips and back-loaded with home 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.

Ep. 1006 - Best player in the draft. Path to be a starter. Day 1 starter at right guard. That’s how ESPN Draft Analyst Matt Miller described Jeremiyah Love, Carson Beck and Chase Bisontis, respectively. Miller rejoined Craig Grialou - the two first spoke back at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis - to discuss why he believes Love’s talent should be considered on the same level as fellow running backs Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson, how a quarterback like Beck fits what Mike LaFleur wants to do offensively, and then there’s Bisontis, who Miller thinks could’ve heard his name called on Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Plus, Miller singles out defensive lineman Kaleb Proctor as one to watch among the Cardinals’ four picks on the final day of the draft. Enjoy the conversation, Bird Gang.
