Ep. 770 - New faces. Familiar faces. How are they all going to fit together? And more importantly, how are they all going to improve a unit that struggled for much of last season? Second-year defensive coordinator Nick Rallis saw additions, whether in free agency or the draft, made at all three levels in the offseason. Also, there should be a natural jump from Year 1 to Year 2 with the players who are returning.

Vacation is over for Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck, but even on “vacation” Kyler Murray and some of his teammates have been getting together to create chemistry.

What happened four months later would change the course of Cardinals history forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

The Mike Macdonald era is underway. On Monday’s show, Craig Grialou is joined by John Boyle, senior reporter for seahawks.com, to discuss all things Seahawks. Topics included his first impressions of Macdonald; how the defense may look a little (or a lot) different, especially without long-time linebacker Bobby Wagner in the middle of the field; offensively, is Geno Smith still QB1; how much longer will wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett share the same field; and the offensive line underwent a major overhaul in the offseason, highlighted by the loss of center Evan Brown, who is now playing for the Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Find out where the locker is now and what Tillman's legacy means to the people who knew him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 768 - No Aaron Donald, no problem. Or is it a big problem?

Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck consider five different aspects of the Cardinals: Kyler Murray, the NFC West, Darius Robinson, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson as WRs 1 and 2, and the running back room. If the perfect storm arrives this season – realistically – in each case, what does it look like for the Cards?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He's now the longest tenured wide receiver. Will Greg Dortch find himself getting more and more opportunities in 2024?

Ep. 767 - According to many, they are the team to beat in the NFC West. They’ve won the division in each of the past two seasons, and the roster – at least on paper – looks every bit as good once again. Of course, we’re talking about the San Francisco 49ers. 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. Sure, there are some obvious choices, but I’m sure no one will be surprised when we hear an unexpected name or two. Every draft has that, right?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They take into account free agency and the draft as well as other roster additions. On offense, the guys singled out wide receiver; the selection of Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick, the free-agent signings of Zay Jones and Chris Moore, plus Year 2 of Michael Wilson. Might Greg Dortch be a candidate for breakout player of the year? On defense, no position room underwent a bigger makeover than d-line with five new names while cornerback added four new faces. Both positions are expected to see significant improvement this season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 668 - The Cardinals will have a new-look offensive line in 2024. Paris Johnson Jr. moves from right to left tackle following the departure of D.J. Humphries and free agent addition Jonah Williams will take over on the right side. Williams joined Paul Calvisi to talk about joining the Cardinals in the offseason, how the line can build upon a successful 2023 campaign, what challenges Johnson will face while switching positions, playing for the legendary Nick Saban at Alabama and much more. Plus, Calvisi and Ron Wolfley discuss the recently-wrapped offseason program, what battles they will watch during training camp, first impressions of Marvin Harrison Jr. and the expected competition at the cornerback position.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 765 - Yes, Marvin Harrison Jr. is talented. Very talented. And as we found out this week, he’s also perspicacious. (Show of hands who knew what that word meant - or even knew it existed - before Michael Wilson used it to describe his new teammate?) Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss their lack of vocabulary, at least compared to Wilson’s; plus, they give their thoughts on what they heard from MHJ when he met the media this week; how he’s fitting in; the relationship between him and his fellow rookies; what his presence means for the offense as well as what his teammates have had to say about him.

The Cardinals greatly improved their depth in the offseason on both sides of the ball. One area where that improved depth comes to mind is along the defensive line. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch forecast what the defensive front may look like and how it can impact the performances of the linebackers and defensive backs. Plus, discussions about whether the offensive line can have a repeat performance in the run game and a look at the overall growth of Kyler Murray both on and off the field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special Monday-edition-because-minicamp-starts-Tuesday podcast, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck center their discussion on the quarterback, with Kyler Murray speaking for the first time this offseason and sounding every bit like the leader he has become. Among the topics: Kyler’s comfort in the offense, how Marvin Harrison Jr. fits in and Murray’s automatic trust in the rookie, the evolution of getting under center, Drew Petzing as “genius,” dialing back K1 as Superman, overall expectations for the Cardinals, Paul’s obsession with lists, the reset of Kyler’s career, and a very special anecdote of Paul’s long-ago teleprompter work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 764 - The season doesn’t kickoff for another three months, but if Kyler Murray had his way, then the Cardinals would be playing a game tomorrow. At least that was the vibe K1 gave on Wednesday when he met with the media for the first time since the season finale against the Seahawks. First and foremost, Murray is healthy. Also, he’s excited about the changes the team made in the offseason, none bigger than the drafting of Marvin Harrison Jr. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what they saw and heard from Murray, who acknowledged he’s in a much better place than a year ago at this time. Murray also had nothing but good things to say about both Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch; the latter of whom was brought up - unprompted - by the head coach earlier in the day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 98 - Los OTA’s terminan en el nido y hay mucho optimismo en el equipo. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen cuáles son los siguientes pasos a seguir y quíen ha sido el jugador que más ha llamado la atención en este proceso. Cada vez lucen mejor y eso sin duda traerá grandes resultados.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Players are dealing with the end of OTAs and the rise in Arizona temperatures - but JG says it’s good for the plasma. Meanwhile, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck have an air-conditioned studio to talk about the inspiring story of rookie Xavier Thomas and the outside linebacker room, BJ Ojulari’s stride work, the impressive upgrade of the defensive line, the need(?) to sign a veteran cornerback, Greg Dortch’s potential, whether our trio would pick a gold jacket or a ring, the need for Kyler Murray to be great, and Darren’s ineffectiveness as a parent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals are in the middle of their third and final week of OTAs and their two first-round draft picks are turning heads.

Ep. 763 - It didn’t happen a year ago. And before 2023, it was all the way back in 2015 - eight years earlier - in which a Cardinals team did not have a player record at least 10 sacks in a single season. BJ Ojulari, and the rest of the Cardinals outside linebackers, want to make double-digit sack-seasons a yearly occurrence. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss the expectations for Ojulari, who on Monday explained why he’s wearing No. 9 rather than 18. Plus, Budda Baker wants to be a Cardinal beyond this season; long-time special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers predicts a big increase in kickoff returns; the joint practices against the Colts in Indianapolis will be at night; and the final week of OTAs brought the heat, quite literally the heat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 762 - A top-5 run game a year ago, yet listening to several players talk this offseason, the Cardinals expect to be much better in 2024. Collectively and individually, especially when it comes to James Conner. The offensive linemen have a goal, a goal Paris Johnson Jr. shared with reporters this week. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman reveal the goal as well as discuss the goal Paris has for himself plus the type of leadership Paris hopes to bring to the team. Also, it’s Week 2 of OTAs which brought some clarity when it comes to the role(s) both Cameron Thomas and Evan Brown are expected to have this season.

As May comes to a close, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck don’t need any artificial intelligence to spark up their newest podcast. Topics include how the Cardinals are clearly ahead of last year as they prep in OTAs, how that might be impacted if the newest NFLPA offseason proposal comes to pass, the past looooong NFL training camps, Kyler Murray’s continued growth as QB and leader, James Conner as leader, BJ Ojulari’s needed jump this season (and need for a nickname?), how the new kickoff rule looks for real, the quiet offseason of Budda (and J.T.), LeBron as a football player, and how much Marvin Harrison Jr. will influence the offense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What might an offense look like when a veteran of seven years is paired with a rookie? The Cardinals may soon find out. James Conner and Trey Benson, the third-round pick out of Florida State, are in the early stages of their relationship, both on and off the field, which continues this week during OTAs. Craig Grialou, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Paul Calvisi discuss a running game featuring Conner and Benson plus what kind of an impact young cornerbacks Max Melton and Elijah Jones may have; the difficulty facing young offensive linemen entering the league; and weigh the positives and negatives of the reported offseason overhaul proposed by the NFLPA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 665 - Rookie offensive lineman Christian Jones grew up with big dreams of becoming an international soccer star. That changed when the football coach at his high school convinced Jones to join his squad.

Benson is expected to have a big role this season. The same can be said for several of the team’s draft picks. Craig and Dani look at one projection; from how many rushing and receiving yards for Benson and Marvin Harrison Jr., respectively, to how well Max Melton and Darius Robinson will do defensively. Plus, some more observations - and that’s all they are - from the first week of organized team activities, or OTAs for short.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hope everybody had their coffee break - or some other beverage, depending on your status - because Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck are back for this week’s Underground. The vibes feel pretty good around the Cardinals’ OTAs right now, a nod to the veteran leadership and the culture being built, although winning must come sooner rather than later. Other topics include how connected the team feels right now, the “mandatory mindset,” Kyler Murray’s big offseason, Paris Johnson’s long-awaited move to left tackle, BJ Ojulari’s number change and potential hope, Zaven Collins’ last piece of his puzzle, practice in Indy, and the critters of Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The offseason departure of Cardinals veteran o-lineman D.J. Humphries created a void at left tackle. Head coach Jonathan Gannon revealed at the start of OTAs that Paris Johnson, Jr. will be the man for the job while free agent Jonah Williams lines up at right tackle. Johnson, who played exclusively on the right side during his rookie season, is looking forward to the challenge. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss Johnson's transition from right to left tackle, how the addition of Zay Jones boosts the wide receiver room, Kyler Murray's developing leadership and the upcoming joint training camp practices with the Indianapolis Colts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 760 - What had been speculated became official on Monday: Paris Johnson Jr. is moving to left tackle. And really, it makes sense. For starters, it’s the position Johnson Jr. played in college. Also, Jonah Williams, who the Cardinals signed to a big-money free-agent contract this offseason, played a solid right tackle a year ago for the Cincinnati Bengals. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss the news on what was the first day of Phase 3 of the offseason strength and condition program. Other topics the guys dove into included the addition of Zay Jones to the wide receiver room; how Kyler Murray is spending time with his teammates away from the facility; joint practices will be held against the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the second preseason game; and the weekend-retirement announcement by former Cardinals running back David Johnson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 664 - The much-anticipated NFL schedule was released this week and you know Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley have a reaction. What are their first thoughts about the 2024 slate? Plus, discussions about the Cardinals rookies and how some can carve out immediate roles this season. We also hear from safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson who shared some of his goals after being drafted by the Cardinals in the 4th round. You can call him Rabbit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 759 - It’s out. The Arizona Cardinals schedule has been released. The who and the where have been known for months, but now we know the order in which the Cardinals will play their 17 regular-season games. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi have their thoughts, i.e., the tough stretch to begin the season, three straight weeks with a home game, no back-to-back east coast trips, and division matchups in four of the final seven games. Plus, the Cardinals received one primetime game; their bye week is Week 11 – a little earlier than the previous two seasons; and they have five early kickoffs, including three at 10 a.m. There is no international game as well as no game on Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas. So, who’s ready for the season?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 95 - Ya está listo el calendario oficial de la temporada regular 2024. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú se pusieron a analizar semana tras semana y nos dicen cuáles son las expectativas de los Cardenales en esta temporada. El comienzo será muy complicado al visitar a los Bills en Buffalo y el cierre ante los 49ers en casa!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the schedule on deck, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck wonder about when they will be in which cities, but more importantly, they also wonder about what the team that will play those games will look like. The trio covers Marvin Harrison Jr.’s first workouts, what the wide receiver room will look like in the end, Greg Dortch’s place, leaning on the run game, Kyler Murray’s chance to have a full offseason with his teammates and his hosting of a trip with teammates to Oklahoma, the biggest positions of battle, and Monti Ossenfort’s blunt message to last year’s rookies (and the culture of roster battling.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the eve of the 2024 NFL schedule release, Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss which matchups they are most looking forward to this season. Plus, conversations about the talented and entertaining members of the rookie class, who will be the Cardinals opening-day starter at left guard, the arrival of wide receiver Zay Jones and what's been impressive about Kyler Murray's offseason.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 758 - People call him Rabbit, so Rabbit it is. A nickname he earned as a kid, Rabbit – given name Dadrion Taylor-Demerson – was the Cardinals’ fourth-round draft pick. He’s got a lot of personality which was on full display when he joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck following rookie minicamp. Rabbit talked about his name, his position versatility, being teammates with Budda Baker, what he hopes to accomplish in his first season and so much more. It is easy to see why the Cardinals selected the former Texas Tech safety early in Day 3 of the NFL Draft. But before that conversation, Craig and Dani discussed the newest addition to the team, wide receiver Zay Jones. He signed a one-year contract, providing another veteran presence in what is now a very crowded position room.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 757 - And now the work begins. Rookies arrived on Thursday. They practiced on Friday. Minicamp is underway for the 12-member draft class, three undrafted free agents and one tryout player – welcome former Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa. So, how did everyone look in their first on-field work in the NFL? Good question. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what they saw; and to be honest, it wasn’t much; practice – the portion that was opened to the media – was more of a walk-through. Still, Marvin Harrison Jr. looked good, rocking his No. 18 uniform, and Darius Robinson looked every bit of 6-5, 285. Plus, Kyler Murray and several of his teammates are in Oklahoma, bonding over playoff basketball, Sooners baseball and Murray’s on-campus statue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 663 - Rookie edge rusher Xavier Thomas joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about being selected by the Cardinals in the fifth round of the 2024 draft, overcoming adversity at Clemson, his desire to impact the game and how his skill set translates to the NFL. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf react to the rookie class arriving for minicamp and discuss Kyler Murray having a full offseason to prepare for the 2024 campaign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
