Arizona Cardinals Podcasts

It’s not surprising that Paul Calvisi isn’t staying up with the latest celebrity news - although he does come up with a movie analogy for the Cardinals at the end of this week’s podcast. In the meantime, he, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck discuss Trey McHurdle, MHJ’s rookie season, upgrading the passing game, the price of rookie dinners, a Budda Baker I-Team report, the mind of Nick Rallis, Kyzir White’s future, the Petzing/Kyler paring, and in lieu of The Wise Guy, a special trivia question for Paul.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals are disappointed the 2024 season did not include an opportunity in the postseason but that does not mean they aren’t excited for what the future may hold. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson share their big-picture thoughts on the Cardinals, what’s in store for Marvin Harrison Jr., the rise of Trey McBride, Budda Baker being unlocked in Nick Rallis’ defense and which rookies might make a big impact in their second season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 840 - Beat a division foe. Sweep the season series. Send the fans home happy. That’s what the Cardinals accomplished in Week 18. And no, the goal of making the playoffs was not reached, but a 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers is a decent consolation prize. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what happened on Sunday; from Kyler Murray’s four touchdown passes, the improved play of Marvin Harrison Jr., the career-year by Trey McBride to a defense that fought - literally in fact - and forced three takeaways. They guys also begin to look ahead to the offseason, what potential moves might be made; Kelvin Beachum’s future with the team; and react to Drew Petzing reportedly being a candidate for the head coaching job with the Chicago Bears.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the regular season finale at State Farm Stadium. Plus, Paul Calvisi conducts exclusive locker room interviews with tight end Trey McBride, cornerback Garrett Williams and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 839 - It is the last Football Friday of the 2024 season. So, how do you want to go out? How do you want to be remembered? With a win, of course. The Cardinals will look to do just that on Sunday. They host the San Francisco 49ers in the regular-season finale. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss why a win in Week 18 matters to the coaches and to the players, and why it should matter to the fans. Plus, as the guys have done all season, they head into enemy territory. Lindsey Pallares, team reporter for 49ers.com, joins the show. The 49ers are coming off a short week; they’re banged up; and they’ll be quarterbacked by a familiar face, Joshua Dobbs, who was QB1 for eight games just last season as the Cardinals waited for the return of a healthy Kyler Murray.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 697 - Cardinals defensive lineman Roy Lopez joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss how special it is to be playing for his hometown team, having the support of his football-loving family, being active in the community, becoming more of a leader, how his wrestling background helps while taking on double teams, teammates Budda Baker and Trey McBride being selected to the Pro Bowl and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 126 - Llegamos al final de la temporada regular y este domingo los Cardenales reciben a los 49ers. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos presentan su análisis del partido y nos dicen también quiénes son sus MVP del año. Es la última prueba para algunos y una gran oportunidad para otros.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 838 - On this first day of 2025, the focus remains on 2024, at least in terms of the football season. Yes, the calendar has flipped to the *new* year, but there remains one more game to be played before the *new* season can be discussed. With that said, however, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck talk about what they’d like to see in the regular-season finale that may carryover to next season, i.e., the chemistry between Kyler Murray and his wide receivers (namely Marvin Harrison Jr.). Also, Craig and Dani react to the breaking news that James Conner will not play against the San Francisco 49ers, and what that may mean for Michael Carter and the rest of the running back room. Plus, will the Cardinals see a familiar face as QB1 for the Niners? Will it be Joshua Dobbs against his former team?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the new year begins and Dani Sureck refuses to give us any karaoke examples on air, Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban are still willing to talk Cardinals, like that last unlucky interception in L.A., Trey McBride’s monster season, the need for better red-zone results, Marvin Harrison Jr.’s good game and continued improvement, whether we see James Conner in the finale, Michael Carter’s swag, a reunion against Joshua Dobbs, who the Cardinals will play in 2025, what the NFC West could look like in 2025, and a solid season-ender for The Wise Guy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Arizona Cardinals suffered a heartbreaking loss in Los Angeles last Saturday night when a untimely deflection ended up in the Rams' hands sealing the game. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss the tough ending, signs of life from the offense, a promising performance by the defense and why the Cardinals feel like they are close to becoming a team that can reach the postseason on a consistent basis. Plus, a look ahead to the season finale on Sunday at State Farm Stadium with a chance to secure a season sweep of the 49ers on the line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 837 - Heart-breaking. There’s no other way to describe it. The win was there until it wasn’t. And that’s been the story of the Arizona Cardinals’ season more times than not in 2024. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi, aka Paulie Play-By-Play, look back at the 13-9 loss on Saturday night in Los Angeles. For much of the game, the offense looked good; in fact, the numbers said as much. Defensively, the same thing. The Cardinals played well enough to win, but the only thing that matters in sports is did you score more points than your opponent. The Cardinals did not. The guys discuss everything. Plus, Paul hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award; and this week, it goes to a player who stepped up his game in the absence of his teammate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 13-9 loss against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Plus, the guys conduct exclusive locker room interviews with wide receiver Michael Wilson and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 836 - So, the stakes are not as high as we all had hoped, but there is still plenty on the line coming up on Saturday night in Los Angeles. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the Week 17 matchup against the Rams, an opponent the Cardinals have not seen since early September. A lot has changed since then, which is discussed when Jourdan Rodrigue joins the show, as she did ahead of Week 2. Rodrigue covers the Rams for The Athletic. Before that conversation, though, Craig and Zach have a conversation about where the Cardinals are at, coming off the loss at Carolina that eliminated them from playoff contention; what can still be accomplished over the final two games; plus, who is and who isn’t available to play this weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 696 - Running back Michael Carter joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to talk about being born in Japan, his upbringing in Navarre, Florida, recruitment to North Carolina, being drafted by the Jets, playing with Aaron Rodgers, joining the Cardinals in 2023 and getting a chance to play against the Panthers on Sunday following nearly four months on the practice squad. Carter also previews the Cardinals matchup with the Rams on Sunday and stresses the need to finish the season on a high note.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 125 - Los Cardenales se preparan para visitar a los Rams después de saber que ya están elminados de la postemporada. Es un partido divisional y será importante jugar con la frente en alto. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos presentan las claves para salir del Sofi Stadium con una victoria el sábado por la noche.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a disappointing and season-altering result in Carolina, the Cardinals have no shot at the playoffs and are left to make the most out of their final two games. With the postseason out of the question, Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson talk about what can be accomplished over the final two weeks of the season. Plus, discussions about what’s been plaguing the Cardinals since the bye week and the opportunity to play spoiler when facing the Rams on Saturday at SoFi Stadium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If your holiday shopping isn’t done, you better get on it. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck understand slow starts; they break down the Cardinals’ own slow start in a difficult overtime loss in Carolina that ended playoff chances. On a short week, the trio discuss what one moment/stretch in a game would they like back; the injuries that whacked the offense over the last week, locking down McBride in Carolina, the continuing learning curve for Marvin Harrison Jr., struggles on defense, looking for a speed wide receiver, the benefits of the Budda signing, the Pop-Tart Bowl and innovative trophies, and a huge moment for Paul on The Wise Guy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 835 - And that’s the sad reality, unfortunately. Losing at Carolina plus the Rams winning at the New York Jets equaled playoff elimination for the Cardinals. So, what happened? How did the Cardinals fall to a three-win team (at the time) in a got-to-have-it game? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss the 36-30 defeat to the Panthers in overtime. Yes, injuries were a factor; too many penalties, especially at the start of the game; the run defense was not great. The Cardinals dug themselves a 17-point hole halfway through the second quarter before digging themselves out thanks to James Conner (before he got hurt; Conner, by the way, earned Paul’s Angry Bird Award) and the right leg of Chad Ryland. And now, with two games left, the Cardinals are forced to play the role of spoiler.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 36-30 overtime loss against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Plus, Paul Calvisi conducts exclusive locker room interviews with cornerback Garrett Williams and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 834 - The Cardinals took care of business last week, beating a three-win opponent. They face another three-win opponent this week. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman, before he heads to the airport to join the team on its flight to Carolina, discuss the game against the Panthers coming up on Sunday. What are the key matchups? What must the Cardinals do in order to win to help keep their playoff hopes alive? (Spoiler alert: run the football.) Also, they are joined by Darin Gantt, senior writer for panthers-dot-com, as they head into enemy territory ahead of Week 16. Before any of those conversations, however, Craig and Zach react to the injury report: two starters and two key backups will not play in the game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 695 - Cardinals rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss playing in his first three NFL games, the steady progress he is making, why he has such high standards for himself and where he can improve his game. Robinson also reacts to Budda Baker's recent contract extension and explains why Baker has such a positive impact on the locker room. Plus, a preview of Sunday's Week 16 matchup between the Cardinals and Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 124 - Los Cardenales siguen peleando por conseguir un boleto para los playoffs de la NFL. Esta semana visitan a los Panthers y para eso Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen las claves para conseguir una importante victoria en Charlotte N.C. Dicen que la Esperanza muere al último y este fin de semana se debe jugar muy bien.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 833 - One of the bigger questions this offseason has been answered in-season: Budda Baker isn’t going anywhere. He and the Cardinals reached agreement on a three-year contract extension, keeping him in Arizona through the 2027 season. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck react to the news. They then discuss why the team rewarded the player, and maybe more importantly, the person; what the extension says about where the team is headed; and what GM Monti Ossenfort is building after extensions to Baker, James Conner, Hjalte Froholdt and Zaven Collins. Plus, Craig and Dani go over the roster moves made on Wednesday and wonder if it’s too early in the week to worry about Paris Johnson Jr. missing Wednesday’s practice because of a knee injury.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals are still alive in the playoff chase, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck feel that intensity - especially when Paul and Darren debate (is that what you call it?) the team reaching expectations this season. That’s the gooey center of this week’s holidayish treat, of which topics include the wedding luck of Dave Pasch, a run game that could feast in Carolina, DeeJay Dallas chaos, Kyler seeking TD passes, Marvin Harrison Jr.’s season close-out, Jonah Williams scoring a touchdown, a tough The Wise Guy hit for Paul, driverless cars, and the idea of dressing your car like a reindeer (Dani feels some kind of way.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The playoffs are still in the picture. The Arizona Cardinals took care of business at home by beating the New England Patriots 30-17 and kept their postseason hopes alive. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch break down how it all happened on Sunday. James Conner led the way for the offense; Jonah Williams' hustle produced an unconventional touchdown; the defense played well even after losing Mack Wilson Sr. and Jesse Luketa to injury on the first drive of the game; and the guys preview the Week 16 matchup on the road against the Carolina Panthers - a team that has been playing better than their record shows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 832 - It was a much-needed win on Sunday. No, it wasn’t perfect. But thanks to the play of James Conner and Trey McBride, the Cardinals “stayed relevant” in the playoff hunt, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. And let’s not forget the defense. In fact, that’s where Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck begin their discussion when looking back at the 30-17 victory over the New England Patriots. The defense played well despite losing Mack Wilson Sr. and Jesse Luketa five plays into the first quarter; a number of players stepped up in their absence. And, yes, the Cardinals got lucky - and there’s nothing wrong with that - from an interception that wasn’t to a fumble that turned into a touchdown, for a second time this season. Playoff football remains a very real possibility.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 30-17 win against the New England Patriots at State Farm Stadium. Plus, Paul Calvisi conducts exclusive locker room interviews with linebacker Kyzir White, offensive tackle Jonah Williams and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 831 - No, a win doesn’t clinch a spot in the playoffs. But if the Cardinals want to keep their postseason hopes alive, then they need to win on Sunday. They need to beat the New England Patriots at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the matchup in Week 15; what it’s going to take to get past the Patriots, get back in the win column and get those positive vibes back around the team. The guys also head into enemy territory and speak with ESPN’s Mike Reiss; long-time Patriots beat writer. Before that conversation, though, a conversation on how the San Francisco 49ers did the Cardinals no favors on Thursday Night Football.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 694 - Cornerback Max Melton joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss his rookie season, navigating the NFL Draft process, learning from a pro like Budda Baker, his comfort level in the Cardinals defense and what he likes to do away from the game of football. Plus, a preview of the Cardinals upcoming battle with the Patriots on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 123 - Se acaban las posibilidades matemáticas de conseguir un boleto para los Playoffs. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dan las claves para que los Cardenales puedan vencer a los Patriots este domingo en casa. Es un juego muy importante. Es ahora o nunca!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 830 - Hey, it’s just a suggestion. But it is an aspect of the Cardinals offense that, in recent weeks, appears to be missing; at least to both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck. That’s the main topic of discussion on Wednesday’s show; what if Kyler Murray were to have more rushing attempts, might that help spark the offense? The Cardinals are searching for answers in the midst of a season-long three-game losing streak. Also, Craig and Dani look ahead to this week’s game against the New England Patriots, focusing on rookie quarterback Drake Maye; who’s punting on Sunday, given the injury to Blake Gillikin; and rookie offensive lineman Isaiah Adams is the team’s new starting right guard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some tours yield $2 billion (right, Taylor Swift?), some tours just bring Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck back into the studio each week for tremendous podcasting even though they aren’t getting Juan Soto money. The trio discuss the Cardinals’ mode of play against the Seahawks after it was broached by Jonathan Gannon, the need to cut down on recent penalties, the line play since the bye on both sides of the ball, Kyler Murray’s struggles of late, the Patriots turning to Drake Maye, what it would take for the wild card, Budda Baker on a rampage, and Cheers to another edition of The Wise Guy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The season isn't over. But the road towards the playoffs is now a more difficult one to navigate, as the Arizona Cardinals dropped their third straight game, this time to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks at home by a score of 30-18. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson break down what happened on Sunday. Kyler Murray threw two early picks; the Cardinals defense couldn't stop Zach Charbonnet and the Seattle rushing attack; while Budda Baker continued to play at a Pro Bowl level racking up 18 tackles. Plus, the guys discuss what needs to happen in these last four games for the Cardinals to make the playoffs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 829 - So much was on the line Sunday. And so much was lost. No, the season isn’t over. The playoffs are still very much in the picture. It’s just now the road to get there has become a lot more difficult to travel for the Arizona Cardinals. They no longer control their own destiny. So, what happened? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the 30-18 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks; turnovers were an issue; couldn’t stop the run; and it’s never good when your kicker is needed to punt, shout-out Chad Ryland. Another player deserving of some praise, safety Budda Baker. He earned Paul’s weekly Angry Bird Award after a career-high 18 tackles, including eight solo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 30-18 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at State Farm Stadium. Plus, Paul Calvisi conducts exclusive locker room interviews with cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 828 - The stakes could not be any higher. Win, and the Cardinals are back in first place in the NFC West; more importantly, they control their own destiny the rest of the way. Lose, and the road to postseason football becomes a lot more difficult. Plus, it’s the Seahawks, and who doesn’t enjoy beating the Seahawks? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the matchup coming up on Sunday at State Farm Stadium; why the Cardinals need to win and what they need to do in order to win (hint: all the things they didn’t do in the first meeting two weeks ago.) Plus, the guys head into enemy territory. For the second time this season, they speak with John Boyle, senior reporter for seahawks-dot-com, to get his thoughts on the rematch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 693 - Cornerback Starling Thomas V joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to talk about the Cardinals huge NFC West matchup with the Seattle Seahawks coming up on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Thomas also discusses being comfortable in his second NFL season, moving on from the loss at Minnesota, being mentored by safety Budda Baker and how he plans to honor his mother with his cleat design as part of the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" campaign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 122 - El momento de la verdad para los Cardenales ha llegado. Este domingo reciben en casa a los Seahawks en un partido muy importante de la temporada 2024. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen de que manera el equipo puede regresar a la senda del triunfo y retomar el camino pensando ya en los playoffs. El juego del año!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 827 - Two games. Two winnable games. Yet, the Cardinals were on the short end against both the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings. So, what must change to change the outcome this week? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi offer their thoughts, whether it’s finishing in the red zone or the defense finishing by getting off the field. The one big difference this week: the Cardinals are home; it’s the first time in nearly a full calendar month. Also, the guys spotlight the team’s two first-round draft picks, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. - were the expectations too high coming into the season? - and defensive lineman Darius Robison, who may be in for a larger role this week after making his season debut in Minnesota.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Locked in for the stretch run? Dani Sureck sure is after going undefeated with her 15-0 week on picks. Now the Cardinals need to get there too with what has turned out to be a crucial game at home against the Seahawks. Win and move back to first place. Lose and see the mountain get incredibly steep. So Dani, Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban talk about what the Cardinals need to do after heartbreak in Minnesota (more TDs!), and discuss the roller-coaster of the end of the game, coming home to avoid the silent count, dominating the Vikings, the heater of Trey McBride, the Seahawks stealing one in New York, dealing with Leonard Williams, Darius Robinson’s impact going forward, brain rot, The Wise Guy battle and did we mention Dani’s perfect week?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite a tough loss to the Vikings in Week 13, the Cardinals still control their own destiny heading into their rematch with the Seahawks in Week 14. A win would propel Arizona into first place in the NFC West. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss the lack of offensive touchdowns over the past two games, the inability to finish drives at Minnesota, the defense continuing to exceed expectations and what to expect from the Seahawks after facing them just two week ago. Plus, Vanden Bosch remembers former teammate Kwamie Lassiter on what would have been his 55th birthday on Tuesday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 826 - Six times; more times than any other game this season. Six times the offense reached the red zone, yet only one time did the trip result in a touchdown. That’s not good enough. And that’s why, at least a big reason why, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck are discussing a loss rather than a win. The two look back at Sunday’s 23-22 loss; the offensive struggles near the goal line, the inability to throw the ball downfield with any consistency, all the penalties at what seemed like all the wrong times. There is also talk of a defense that played well until they didn’t; how did Darius Robinson look in his debut; and what more can be said about the play of Mack Wilson Sr., this week’s winner of the Angry Bird Award.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley provide instant reaction to the Cardinals 23-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Plus, Paul Calvisi conducts exclusive locker room interviews with linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 825 - The number is seven. There are seven coaches, including the head coach and both the offensive and defensive coordinators, who have ties to the Minnesota Vikings organization. Will that mean anything on Sunday? Maybe. Maybe not. There’s also a handful of Vikings personnel who have ties to the Cardinals as Craig Grialou and Darren Urban discuss on the show. Their conversation, though, begins with whether or not this is the week rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson makes his debut. It certainly sounds like Week 13 is the week, finally. Plus, Craig and Darren head into enemy territory. They speak with long-time NFL writer Kevin Seifert. He covers the Vikings for ESPN.com and gives his perspective on the matchup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 121 - Los Cardenales se preparan para visitar a los Vikings en Minnesota. Será un partido complicado pero Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos presentan las claves para salir con un triunfo del U.S. Bank Stadium. Es la edición Thanksgiving Day de La Tacleada Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 692 - The 2003 season finale against the Vikings had plenty of significance for the Cardinals. Lose the game, get the top pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. Win the game, drop out of that coveted spot. Paul Calvisi tells the story of how an unknown Cardinals receiver made the biggest play of his life, sent shockwaves through three NFL cities and significantly altered the top of the 2004 Draft. What happened four months later would change the course of Cardinals history forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 824 - On this, the day before Thanksgiving, it makes sense for Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck to say what they’re thankful for. Family. Close friends. Good health. How about a Cardinals team that’s going to be playing meaningful football in December, and hopefully January. Yes, to all. But, what about Trey McBride? He leads the team in both receptions and receiving yards, but is he appreciated enough? And that leads into a discussion about Pro Bowl voting and which Cardinals players are worthy of your vote because there are several to consider. Also, the latest from Wednesday’s practice; it’s not too early to talk playoffs; and Dani is always ready to talk green bean casserole because it is - she believes - the best side dish of Thanksgiving dinner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s nearly Thanksgiving, although Dani Sureck is foregoing her beloved green bean casserole despite her strong feelings on the subject. We can’t always get what we want, like the Cardinals wanting to emerge from Seattle with a win, now having to face a strong Vikings team in frigid Minnesota (yes, we know the game is inside.) Dani joins Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban to discuss the offensive line dealing with Leonard Williams and what the Seahawks might be building before their visit to Arizona next week, Trey McBride’s dominance, the importance of James Conner production, Garrett Williams underrated, a long drought in Minnesota, whether there should be weather games, Wise Guy domination, and doggie Ozempic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals four-game win streak was snapped after a 16-6 loss in Seattle on Sunday. Arizona will look for a rebound in Week 13 against the 9-2 Vikings in Minnesota this weekend. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss ways to correct the inefficient offensive performance against the Seahawks, the defense continuing to give the team a chance to win, the biggest challenges the Cardinals will see against the Vikings and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 823 - Blame the noise. Blame the weather. Credit the defense. Whatever the reason, the Cardinals offense did not show up in Seattle on Sunday. From Kyler Murray on down, it was a struggle. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at what went wrong - the inability to get the run game going, the inability to stop defensive lineman Leonard Williams from getting into the backfield - in a 16-6 loss against the Seahawks, who now lead the NFC West. The guys also praise the play of Trey McBride, who had a career day in defeat, and the work of the defense which held Geno Smith and company to 10 points; that should be good enough to win any game. Speaking of the defense, props to former Seahawk L.J. Collier, he earned Paul’s weekly Angry Bird Award.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
