Ep. 708 - After a few days off, it was back to work for coaches and players on Monday. And it appeared that the bye week was beneficial for a handful of players who had been missing in action. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman speak to who was - Michael Wilson - and who wasn’t - Hollywood Brown - on the practice field. Other topics of discussion included what a returning Antonio Hamilton may mean at cornerback; the multiple honors earned by James Conner after his performance against the Steelers; how well Trey McBride is playing; an early look at Sunday’s opponent, NFC-West leading 49ers; and why the Cardinals will have a say in who becomes the No. 1 seed in the NFC.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 641 - The 2003 season finale against the Minnesota Vikings had plenty of significance for the Arizona Cardinals. Lose the game, get the top pick in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Paul Calvisi tells the story of how a journeyman Cardinals wide receiver made the biggest play of his life, simultaneously sent shockwaves through three NFL cities and significantly altered Cardinals history forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now that Paul Calvisi has dried his socks out from the sideline weather in Pittsburgh, he joins Darren Urban and Dani Sureck into some pre-bye breakdown of an important Cardinals win - one that showed the Cards beating the Steelers at their own game in a perfect sendoff before some time off. The trio talk about the defense standing up after a terrible game against the Rams, James Conner’s storybook return to the Steel City, Conner’s latest “Angry Runs” award, Jonathan Gannon’s work to build the culture, Kyler progress, Trey McBride’s evolution, Jonathan Ledbetter’s Walter Payton award, and the weather still to come in the final two road games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals battled both the Steelers and the weather during a 24-10 win in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Ep. 707 - In the end, the weather was not a factor. It just delayed the outcome; and maybe even made the result even more impressive. The Cardinals went into Pittsburgh, braved the elements, and left Acrisure Stadium with a 24-10 win and their first road victory of the season. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at all that went right for the Cardinals, highlighted by the homecoming performance of James Conner. Plus, Kyler Murray, though his numbers don’t reflect it, played one of his better games since his return; Trey McBride continues to take his game to the next level; Greg Dortch just makes plays; and kudos to the no-name defensive line, especially Kevin Strong who earned Calvisi’s Angry Bird Award for Week 13.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dani Sureck, Zach Gershman and Jody Jackson put the spotlight on key moments from the game and highlight big performances from running back James Conner, tight end Trey McBride, quarterback Kyler Murray and the Cardinals defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 640 - Rookie cornerback Kei'Trel Clark joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to talk about what it took to return to the field after being benched on defense for several weeks. Also, Clark discusses how he prepares for opposing receivers, his relationship with fellow rookies, what he has learned from Budda Baker and the challenge of facing the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 77 - Arizona viaja a Pittsburgh esta semana con la idea de mejorar en todos los aspectos pero enfrente tendrá una defensiva muy complicada. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen porque este juego tiene muchos elementos para ser muy interesante. James Conner regresa a casa y eso puede ser un factor a nuestro favor. Nos veremos una vez ante viejos conocidos como Patrick Peterson y Markus Golden. El vuelo no se detiene en la semana 13.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 705 - Six carries is not enough. James Conner needs to be featured more, and this may be the perfect week to get him the football. He’s going back to Pittsburgh. Plus, weather may be a factor. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look ahead to Sunday’s game against the Steelers, the team Conner played his first four seasons in the league with. Other topics discussed: Dante Stills’ play along the defensive line; Kei’Trel Clark’s return to the starting lineup; Wednesday’s injury report does not look good for the defensive back or wide receiver positions; plus, who deserves your Pro Bowl vote and why Sureck wants to see less cars decorated as reindeer on her drive to work in the mornings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals come off a hard performance against the Rams, so Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck try to sort through where the energy went as the team tries to maneuver through the home stretch of the season. The trio talk about the struggles of the run defense and the lack of a run game on offense, missing Kyzir White, a new cornerback rotation, Kyler Murray’s continuing development in a new offense, Kyler and Hollywood connections, taking on the steady Steelers, and how Paul and Darren know how to change a tire. Dani does not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a rough 37-14 loss to the Rams, it would be fair to assume the Cardinals would be down in the dumps. That is not the case, especially when it comes to Kyler Murray. The Cardinals signal caller acknowledged there would be growing pains playing in a new offense after the long journey back from his knee injury. Murray also said that he is remaining positive during the tough times. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander discuss the Week 12 aftermath, the need to sustain drives on offense and what caused the Cardinals defense to falter, especially when defending the run.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 704 - Three games. Seven weeks of practice. Kyler Murray is just getting started, while the rest of his teammates are nearing the end. So, yes, there are going to be games like Sunday, especially on offense. But what separated Week 12 from the previous weeks was that it wasn’t just the offense. It was the defense. It was special teams. It was the entire team. And as a result, the Cardinals lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 37-14. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what happened, or better said, what didn’t happen. Also, what Dennis Gardeck had to say to Calvisi postgame is worth a listen. Plus, Calvisi - once again in person - reveals this week’s Angry Bird Award winner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the second consecutive week, the Cardinals offense scored on their opening drive. However they struggled to find any rhythm the rest of the way and dropped a 37-14 decision to the Rams on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. The defense shares in the blame after allowing the Rams to gain 457 total yards, 228 of those on the ground. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman search for answers and discuss how the offense can establish rhythm and extend drives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 703 - For the first time this season, the Cardinals will see a team for a second time. It was six weeks ago when the Cardinals and Rams last played. It did not go well for the Cardinals, especially in the second half. The difference this time around? Well, for one, Kyler Murray will be on the field and in action. He was a spectator during the first meeting. Also, James Conner, Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson all missed the game in L.A. Can those four players be enough to help the Cardinals earn a split in the season series? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the Week 12 matchup. Also, the guys venture into enemy territory. Jourdan Rodrigue, Rams beat writer for The Athletic, joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 76 - Kyler Murray sigue progresando y este domingo está listo para recibir a los rivales divisionales de Los Ángeles. Estamos ya prácticamente en la recta final de la temporada regular y cada partido es muy importante para la directiva del equipo. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dice porque los Rams no serán un rival fácil. Es la edición "Thanksgiving Day" de la Tacleada Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 639 - During his playing career, the great Pat Tillman occupied more than one locker at Cardinals HQ in Tempe. But it's Pat's final locker that is on display for players and coaches to see while walking to and from practices. Paul Calvisi shares the incredible story of how Tillman's locker was saved during 2015 renovations with just seconds to spare. The locker, encased in glass and adorned with Tillman's helmet and jersey, serves as inspiration to those who see it and helps keep the Tillman legacy alive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 702 – Happy Thanksgiving, Birdgang! There may not be a better day on the calendar. A day that combines three of our favorite things. Before the holiday, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck begin to look ahead to the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Who will be available? Who might not be available? And should we be concerned about Michael Wilson’s shoulder injury? Plus, Kyzir White was spotted at practice just three days after suffering a season-ending injury; Josh Woods, by the way, is ready to step into White’s role as quarterback of the defense; Budda Baker will play in his 100th career game on Sunday; and a discussion on Hollywood Brown’s production, both the good and the bad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanksgiving is here and don’t get Paul Calvisi started with your turkey facts. He almost didn’t stop. But once he did, he led Darren Urban and Dani Sureck into comfortably satisfying discussion about Kyler Murray Game 2, Kyler’s potential rust in every facet of his comeback, the fourth-down choices (and misses), Kyler’s new footwork, working through the cornerback situation, losing both Kyzir White and Leki Fotu, and just who is stepping up to cook this week (Darren and Dani) and who is not (Paul).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals defense allowed 333 total yards and 21 first-half points to the Houston Texans on Sunday. However in the second half, the Texans were held scoreless and managed just 86 yards while turning the ball over twice. The Cardinals offense could not capitalize on the Houston mistakes and the Texans prevailed 21-16. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch talk about what led to the loss, Kyler Murray's up-and-down performance and what the Cardinals need to do to find the complete game they're looking for. Plus, how will the Cardinals overcome the season-ending biceps injury to linebacker Kyzir White?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 69 - Frank Caliendo is widely known as one of the top comedians and impressionists in the country and he returns for his third appearance on The Dave Pasch Podcast.

Plus, Frank puts his own spin on actual Cardinals radio highlights by impersonating various celebrity voices including Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Charles Barkley, Stephen A. Smith, Morgan Freeman and many more. The Dave Pasch Podcast is presented by BetMGM and Gila River Resorts and Casinos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 701 - There was a lack of complimentary football played on Sunday in Houston. The offense and the defense never could get on the same page. The offense started well and then sputtered, while the defense got off to a slow start before pitching a shutout in the second half. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look back at the 21-16 loss to the Texans. “Frustrating” is the word Kyler Murray used to describe what happened, or better said what didn’t happen, especially on fourth down. The defense recorded three interceptions, yet no points were scored off any of the takeaways. It was a missed opportunity. Speaking of opportunity, Greg Dortch took advantage of his and he earned this week’s Angry Bird Award.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a rough first half on Sunday, the Cardinals defense held the Texans scoreless in the second half surrendering just 86 yards and forcing two big turnovers. However the offense could not capitalize on Houston’s mistakes and the Texans held on to win by a score of 21-16 at NRG Stadium. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman discuss several missed opportunities that contributed to the loss, Kyler Murray’s performance in his second game of the year and how the Cardinals can learn and grow in defeat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 700 - Yes, a lot of eyes will be on Kyler Murray on Sunday. He’s making his second straight start and first start on the road. How does he follow up his season debut? Well, a similar question can be asked about Trey McBride. After a career day a week ago, what does the second-year tight end do for an encore? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss both Murray and McBride as it relates to this week’s game at the Houston Texans, a team that is surprising a lot of people, particularly the play of their rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who has entered the MVP conversation. The guys give their thoughts. Plus, they venture into enemy territory. Drew Dougherty, TV host for the Texans, joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 638 - Rookie pass rusher BJ Ojulari set career highs in tackles (8) and sacks (2) during the Cardinals 25-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Ojulari joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss his career day, his favorite pass rush moves, where he needs to improve and how the return of quarterback Kyler Murray energized the entire team. Plus, Ojulari talks about the danger TE Trey McBride presents for defenses and what the Cardinals need to do in order to contain Texans QB C.J. Stroud on Sunday in Houston.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 699 - Game one was good. Very good. Kyler Murray checked off a lot of boxes in his return. Another box will be checked this week when he plays in his first road game. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss both Murray’s performance against the Atlanta Falcons and what awaits against the Houston Texans. Also, there are good conversations about how the Cardinals are getting healthier – D.J. Humphries, Trystan Colon and Emari Demercado practiced on Wednesday; Trey McBride stepping up his game and the confidence Murray has in the second-year tight end; the play of the entire 2023 rookie class; and, with Thanksgiving a week away, Dani’s love of green bean casserole.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fresh off Kyler Murray’s heroic return to the football field, Peter welcomes in his first year OC Drew Petzing. Petzing details the work Murray has done to get back to the field and his incredible performance in Sunday’s win over Atlanta. Petzing’s story is awesome; sidelined with an injury as a college sophomore, he never gave up the dream of being involved with football. Fifteen years later, he’s one of the youngest play callers in the sport. Peter also discusses the Ken Dorsey firing in Buffalo, Baltimore’s late game struggles, and Houston’s storybook season. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Kyler Murray’s memorable return against the Falcons from his ACL injury, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck marvel at K1’s ability to return looking like he never left. The QB dominates the discussion, as our trio talk about surprises from Murray’s return, his teammates’ enjoyment from his play, his chemistry with burgeoning star Trey McBride (and McBride’s future going forward), how James Conner helped with his own return, as well as a defensive line outplaying the sum of its parts, the Texans outplaying its expectations, a developing rookie class, and whether it’s too early for holiday music.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's fair to say that quarterback Kyler Murray exceeded all expectations in his return to the field last Sunday in the Cardinals 25-23 win over the Falcons. He also put his trust into second-year tight end Trey McBride who hauled in 8 catches for 131 yards including a career-long 33-yard catch that set up Matt Prater's game-winning field goal. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander discuss Murray's stellar debut, the defense stepping up in big situations and how the Cardinals played complementary football to help secure the come-from-behind win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 698 - It was like he was never hurt. Kyler Murray looked like Kyler Murray on Sunday. In other words, he showed no signs of a knee injury that had kept him sidelined for the past 11 months. Murray’s return helped the Cardinals return to the win column for the first time since Week 3. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they saw from Murray in a 25-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. In addition, it was good to see James Conner back running the football; Trey McBride do something no Cardinals tight end had done in 34 years; the emergence of rookie edge rusher BJ Ojulari; and the consistency that is Matt Prater when attempting field goals of 50+ yards. In other words, there was a lot to like in Week 10.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals fans waited for 11 months to see quarterback Kyler Murray return to action after his 2022 injury and boy did he deliver. Murray led the Cardinals on a thrilling game-winning scoring drive to secure a 25-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Zach Gershman, Jody Jackson and Craig Grialou break down Murray's impressive performance which made it look like he missed little time at all. Plus, discussions about the defense stepping up in big situations and tight end Trey McBride coming up huge with a 100-yard receiving game, the first for a Cardinals tight end since 1989.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 697 - When Kyler Murray takes the field on Sunday, it will have been 335 days since he last played in a game. In other words, a long time ago. There is excitement. There is curiosity. There is a lot of unknown. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to Murray’s return and the matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Cardinals also are expected to have the services of James Conner. But what will the offensive line look like? Starters D.J. Humphries and Will Hernandez are hurt, while Trystan Colon has missed the past two games. Plus, the guys get the Atlanta perspective. Long-time Falcons beat writer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution D. Orlando Ledbetter joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 637 - Cardinals rookie defensive lineman Dante Stills was known more as a pass rusher coming out of West Virginia. However as the 2023 season has progressed, Stills has worked hard to defend the run and the effort has not gone unnoticed by his coaches and teammates. Stills joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss the progress he's made thus far, the return of Kyler Murray, the Atlanta Falcons run game and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 75 - El momento que habíamos esperado por mucho tiempo ha llegado... el regreso de Kyler Murray al terreno de juego ha generado una luz al final del túnel. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú analizan la manera en que K1 debería jugar después de sufrir una lesión tan fuerte. James Conner también ya está recuperado y pudiera ser un arma clave en contra de los Falcons este domingo en el State Farm Stadium. Será un partido de muchas emociones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 696 - Activated off PUP. Taking first-team reps. All signs are pointing to Kyler Murray making his season debut as the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback on Sunday. So, what do we want to see; what do we hope to see? Also, who benefits the most from Murray’s return? All questions Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck tackle on Wednesday’s show. And Murray may not be the only player back this week. James Conner has been designated to return, opening up his 21-day practice window. Grialou and Sureck believe there is a very good chance Conner joins Murray on the field against the Atlanta Falcons. Conner’s absence has been a big one within the offense. Both Murray and Conner would be welcome additions in Week 10.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 68 - Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley joins Dave Pasch to talk Arizona Cardinals, the return of quarterback Kyler Murray and the culture being formed by GM Monti Ossensfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon. Barkley and Pasch also chat about his favorite memory from playing with the Phoenix Suns, the current Suns team, NBA championship contenders, rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama his friendship with Cardinals legend Roy Green and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The countdown is on for Kyler Murray to return to the field on Sunday, although Paul Calvisi tries to convince Darren Urban that a clock is needed to commemorate the moment. The two join Dani Sureck to talk about - finally - Murray’s activation to the roster and expected start against the Falcons, what he might look like in his first game back, and his comfort in the offense. Also discussed were the Cardinals (and Clayton Tune’s) tough day in Cleveland, a defense that doesn’t give up, James Conner’s potential return, and Dani’s big pop-a-shot win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When will Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray make his return to the field? That question has been asked many times for nearly a calendar year. Now, we finally have an answer. If all goes well in practice this week, Murray will lead the Cardinals against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch talk about what Murray's presence does for the entire team, what the offense will look like with Murray on the field and realistic expectations for his performance. Plus, thoughts on the Cardinals defensive effort against the Browns and a look ahead to the Falcons matchup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 695 - Not a good homecoming for the head coach. Not a good first impression by the rookie quarterback. Almost nothing went right for the Cardinals on Sunday. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the 27-0 loss in Cleveland, the hometown of Jonathan Gannon. Meanwhile, fifth-round draft pick Clayton Tune did not play well in his first career start. Then, again, the entire offense did not play well. The guys wonder out loud, is help on the way? In other words, is Kyler Murray going to make his season debut this week? The defense played OK against the Browns, highlighted by a front seven that allowed a season-low 2.8 rushing yards per attempt. So, Calvisi highlights one of its members - Leki Fotu - with the Angry Bird Award.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To say that quarterback Clayton Tune had a rough day at the office on Sunday would be an understatement. The rookie signal caller was sacked seven times during a 27-0 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman discuss what went wrong for the Cardinals and why they had trouble getting things going offensively. The Cardinals defense did some good things throughout the day, but it was difficult to sustain with Cleveland dominating time of possession. What's next for the Cardinals? Will Kyler Murray make his long-anticipated return to game action this week against the Falcons?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 694 - Will it be Kyler Murray or will it be Clayton Tune who gets the start in Cleveland on Sunday? Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday he’d know in the “next 24 hours” who will be QB1. The expectation, though, is that Tune will get the nod. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what the offense might look like with the fifth-round draft pick out of Houston under center. And, more importantly, how the offense handles the league’s No. 1 defense led by perhaps the league’s most disruptive pass rusher, Myles Garrett. Also, the guys get the Cleveland perspective. Kelsey Russo, staff writer for the Browns, joins the show. There is no question who they will start at quarterback. Deshaun Watson was announced the starter on Friday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 636 - Tight end Trey McBride joins Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to discuss his upbringing in rural Colorado, why he chose football over baseball and basketball, his 2023 season to date, the recent increase in production and confidence and what he sees from rookie QB Clayton Tune. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf talk about the busy week in the QB room and look ahead to the Cleveland Browns and their very talented defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 74 - Fue una semana de ajustes el nido. Josh Dobbs fue cambiado a los Vikings y ahora es el momento para el debut de Clayton Tune o para el regreso de Kyler Murray. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen cuál es la mejor opción para el equipo ya que este domingo enfrentan a los Browns quienes son una de las mejores defensivas de toda la NFL. Será un gran partido que podría cambiar el rumbo de la temporada de los Cardenales.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 693 - New week, same question. Is this the week we see Kyler Murray make his season debut? There is a possibility, though Dani Sureck is done making predictions on the subject. She - wrongfully - thought Murray would play against the Baltimore Ravens. Sureck and Craig Grialou are in agreement in their belief that it will be Clayton Tune, the rookie out of Houston, who will be QB1 in Cleveland. And if it is Tune, then the Cardinals would likely start four rookies - running back Emari Demercado, wide receiver Michael Wilson and right tackle Paris Johnson joining Tune - on offense. The Cardinals have gotten significant contributions from several of their rookies, on both sides of the ball.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s spooky season for the Cardinals quarterbacks room this week, as Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have so much to discuss. Josh Dobbs is traded to the Vikings after a half-season starting for the Cardinals, and that clears the way for Kyler Murray’s return. Except Kyler may not quite be ready yet, which would open the door for rookie Clayton Tune to start in Cleveland. What might await Tune, and what might await Murray as he enters his last seven days of practice window before he has to be put on the active roster. There is also Trey McBride love, and Paul’s attempt at nicknames – one misfire, but one that makes sense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heading into Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, many wondered if the Cardinals would make any moves. The answer is yes. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs and a 2024 7th-round pick were sent to Minnesota in exchange for a 2024 6th-round pick. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander have real-time reaction and discuss what the move means for Sunday's game in Cleveland. Will Kyler Murray return to the active roster this week? Will the Cardinals sign another QB to back up rookie Clayton Tune? Plus, the crew talks about the significant contributions being made by Cardinals 2023 rookie class.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 67 - Legenday FOX, Turner Sports, and MSG networks broadcaster Kenny Albert joins Dave Pasch to give his thoughts on the Arizona Cardinals and the culture being built by head coach Jonathan Gannon. Albert also discusses his new book “A Mic for All Seasons” which highlights Albert’s 30-year career broadcasting games in the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB and the Olympics. Albert tells some great stories from his childhood including one about his mom defeating an all-time NBA great in a game of H-O-R-S-E.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 692 - Turnovers. Turnovers on downs. The Cardinals did themselves no favors on Sunday. The loss to the Baltimore Ravens was not as close as the final score would indicate. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the 31-24 defeat. Joshua Dobbs did not play well. He hasn’t played well now for a good four games, yet he will remain the starter according to Jonathan Gannon. Should he? Is Clayton Tune an option? When might Kyler Murray be an option? The defense, meanwhile, played well enough to win. Bright spots? There were a few. Rookies Emari Demercado and Dante Stills are making the most of their opportunities; as is second-year tight end Trey McBride, whose career day earned him Calvisi’s Angry Bird Award nod for the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
