Ep. 776 - Yes, it helps to have a franchise quarterback. And now a true No. 1 wide receiver. But the Cardinals offense in 2024 isn’t only Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. There is so much more. And for Charles Robinson, Senior NFL Reporter for Yahoo Sports, the most important piece of the puzzle just may be offensive coordinator Drew Petzing; the person pulling the strings, so to speak. Robinson joined Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman during his recent visit to Cards Camp. Robinson visited last year and compares where the Cardinals were then compared to where they are now and where he believes the team is headed under the direction of both GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first open practice is Thursday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone should know that it is "Blake**"** Gillikin who is the excellent punter for the Cardinals. Paul Calvisi certainly does, as does Darren Urban and Dani Sureck as they turn the final podcast before training camp begins.

While the Cardinals continue to ramp up for the opening of training camp, Ring of Honor member Roy Green joins Paul Calvisi and Dani Sureck to talk about the wide receiver and cornerback positions.

Craig Grialou is joined by Lindsey Pallares, team reporter for 49ers.com, to discuss all things 49ers. Topics included quarterback Brock Purdy enjoying a healthy offseason (very similar to Kyler Murray); running back Christian McCaffrey showing no signs of slowing down (not good news for Cardinals fans); and for the third time in as many seasons the defense will be under the direction of a new coordinator, though defensive end Nick Bosa remains and the team signed Leonard Floyd (10.5 sacks last season with the Bills).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not all players are created equal – especially when it comes to who will make the greatest impact this season. It’s all guesswork sure, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck hold their own Impact Draft. The rules are simple: Once draft order is determined, each gets to pick the most impactful Cardinals from 1-9 (three picks each) in order.
