J.J. Watt surprised everyone with his announcement this week he was retiring, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck were probably going to talk about how well the defensive end was playing anyway, so it’s an easy segue. The trio discuss Watt’s decision, his big final season, the impact he’s had on the Cardinals in a short time, and even his Hall of Fame timeline. They also chat about Budda’s toughness, how they deal with Baker’s absence, how they dealt with Tom Brady and a plan for New Year’s Resolutions.

Since 2007, the original team podcast has been delivering analysis and anecdotes about the Cardinals every week. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck use their extensive experience covering the team to offer commentary with some humor and a few zings along the way.

Cardinals Underground - Watt A Time To Say Goodbye

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/6a6c63a7-b6d6-4082-bc93-af780179d096/transcript

Craig Grialou just wants to have people understand how to drive, full stop. But there is also a lot of football to cover. Along with Darren Urban and Zach Gershman, the trio discuss the authenticity coach Mike LaFleur brings to the table, how quarterback will also be a top topic this time of year regardless of team or situation, Jacoby Brissett’s standing, Carson Beck’s unknown short-term future, the potential extensions of Michael Wilson and Paris Johnson Jr., waiting on Walter Nolen III (and all of the defensive draft picks), and how Patrick Peterson is the next potential Cardinals Hall of Famer now that Fitz is headed to Canton.

Why would Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman consider the idea of shirtless fans? Who knows. But they join Darren Urban (Dani Sureck is on assignment) to chat about the initial OTAs and top takeaways like the mammoth Andrew Billings and Max Melton’s big third year, 13 personnel and Tip Reiman, Jacoby Brissett and how that situation could play out, cornerbacks galore, Michael Wilson and MHJ and how the stats look for a winning team, Trey McBride’s thirst to win, Mack Wilson’s health as he plays basketball, and the Wemby vs. everyone else conundrum.

As the rookies mesh with the veterans, the chant comes up, Craig Grialou Graduates! Or something like that. In the meantime, Craig talks with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck about Carson Beck’s reps and gravitas, no more 2027 QB talk, analyzing rookie minicamp, Larry Fitzgerald visits the first-year players, the scramble-ability of the QB room, Jeremiyah Love’s financial sense and NIL impacting players as they come into the league, Chase Bisontis as potential starter and how the Cards could prep him in practice, and a look at the upcoming schedule release.
