Ep. 706 - It has been three years since James Conner left Pittsburgh, his home both in college and the start of his NFL career, for Arizona. Sunday marks his return. And hopefully marks his return to being the focal point of the offense. James was not last week against the Rams. This week, though, that should change. It needs to change. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the game with the Steelers, who are playing good football right now. Also, the guys get the Pittsburgh perspective. Craig Wolfley, Steelers radio analyst and the older brother of Cardinals radio analyst Ron Wolfley, joins the show. But first, how Jonathan Gannon got to work Friday morning.

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.

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.
