Arizona Cardinals Podcasts

The season is over, and just what did we all witness? Four wins isn’t great, but what Jonathan Gannon has started seems to have foundational qualities. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck break down big-picture of what 2023 was about for the Cardinals, Kyler Murray’s growing trust with his pass catchers (and them with him), Kyler working under center, how a balanced offense helps Murray overall, how James Conner is not just a 1,000-yard rusher but everything the Cardinals need, D.J. Humphries’ ACL injury and how it impacts the future of the offensive line, Paris Johnson’s role going forward, the desperate need at edge, and (yes it’s early but) what to do with the No. 4 overall draft pick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the 2023 season in the books, it's natural to look ahead to what could be in store in 2024. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and former Cardinals linebacker Rob Fredrickson examine the big storylines coming out of the season, Kyler Murray's performance both on the field and as a leader, James Conner's spectacular season, the debut of coordinators Drew Petzing and Nick Rallis, Trey McBride's upside and the looming opportunities ahead that can help the Cardinals improve their roster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 719 - A loss on Sunday ended the regular season, but it did not end the good feelings surrounding the 2023 Arizona Cardinals. In fact, it’s just the opposite. There is a lot to look forward to; and, yes, a lot of work to do. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi begin the offseason discussion, first with a look back at the 21-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks - who knows, maybe come April the loss will be a blessing in disguise - and then they point to the number of positives, both individually and collectively as an organization. Also, for one final time, Calvisi hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award. The winner, based on his performance in Week 18, should not be a surprise to anyone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the season finale of Morning Scramble, Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman talk about the Cardinals 21-20 loss to the Seahawks and what the future may bring in 2024. Our panel discusses Kyler Murray's developing leadership, James Conner's career year, positive production from the offensive line, opportunities to strengthen the roster during the offseason and the positive vibes coming from the players about the future of the team under Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 718 - Never has James Conner ran for 1,000 yards in a season. And only once has he eclipsed 900 rushing yards in a season. Conner has a chance to reach both milestones on Sunday when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. It is the last game of the season, and what better way to go out than with a win and a career achievement. Also, a win would eliminate the Seahawks from the playoffs. A bonus if you will. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the Week 18 matchup; who will, who won’t be available and what Jonathan Gannon said about the season-finale. Plus, the guys get the Seattle perspective. John Boyle, team reporter for the Seahawks, joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 645 - Cardinals second-year tight end Trey McBride joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to talk about the big win over the Eagles in Philadelphia, his breakout season, culture building with Jonathan Gannon, his growing relationship with QB Kyler Murray and being driven to become as good a blocker as he is a pass catcher. Plus, a look ahead to Sunday's season finale against the Seahawks at State Farm Stadium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EP. 81 - Es el último partido de la temporada regular y el equipo llega muy mootivado luego de vencer a Philadelphia con una gran demostración. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú consideran que eso será suficiente para vencer a los Seahawks que todavía quieren un boleto para los playoffs de la NFL. Además la lesion de D.J. Humphries pudiera ser clave para la manera de seleccionar en el siguiente NFL Draft. Hay quer cerrar con orgullo la temporada regular.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 717 - Very unfortunate news on Wednesday. Starting left tackle - and the longest-tenured Cardinals player - D.J. Humphries will miss the season finale on Sunday, and he will likely miss a good chunk of the start of next season due to torn ACL. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what that means moving forward for the offensive line, a position that has been a pleasant surprise this season. Other pleasant surprises this season: running back Michael Carter and wide receiver Greg Dortch. Both, it appears, have solidified their roster spots in 2024. And maybe it didn’t need to be said, but Jonathan Gannon said it anyway. Kyler Murray is his franchise quarterback, answering the biggest question going into the season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a grand trip to Philly, where the Cardinals toppled the Eagles and then Dani Sureck dueled QB Kyler Murray in a couple of word games on the flight home. Dani, Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban didn’t bring any cheesesteaks back, but they did bring some stories and analysis on how Jonathan Gannon returned to his old stomping grounds and out-coached his old peers, how the Cardinals were the more physical team again, the genius of the onside kick that didn’t work/still worked, Kyler’s huge game, the comeback of Michael Wilson, James Conner’s dominance, Greg Dortch making plays and how winning trumps draft status.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals went into Philadelphia and dominated in several offensive categories during their 35-31 win over the heavily-favored Eagles. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss the season-best performances turned in by Kyler Murray and James Conner, the play of the offensive line who helped pave the way for 221 yards rushing and how the win can go a long way in establishing a winning culture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 716 - No question it was the best win of the season. And for head coach Jonathan Gannon, it had to have been the most satisfying win of the season. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at Sunday’s come-from-behind 35-31 victory at the Philadelphia Eagles. So many contributors - Gannon does like to say “it takes all 11 on the field.” Kyler Murray played his best game of the season; James Conner highlighted a rushing attack that totaled better than 200 yards - shout-out to the offensive line and center Hjalte Froholdt who earned Calvisi’s Angry Bird Award for the week - there was production from the wide receiver position; and let’s not forget about the defense, which started its 16th different lineup in as many games. Not a bad way to begin 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals used a ball-control offense and an outstanding performance by Kyler Murray to earn a 35-31 upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman discuss several keys to victory including how the Cardinals used extended scoring drives to dominate the time of possession battle. Plus, James Conner and the Cardinals run game dominated all day to help head coach Jonathan Gannon earn the win against his former team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 715 - When the schedule was released in May, this was among the more anticipated matchups. And it had nothing to do with the players themselves. No, it had everything to do with the two head coaches and the location. On Sunday in Philadelphia, head coach Jonathan Gannon faces good friend and the man he worked under for two years with the Eagles as defensive coordinator, Nick Sirianni, in the city whose fanbase still harbors resentment about Gannon’s departure. It should be a fun one in Week 17. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the game, which will see Kyler Murray play quarterback despite an illness earlier in the week. Plus, the guys get the Philadelphia perspective. Dave Spadaro, team reporter for the Eagles, joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep 644 - Hjalte Froholdt joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to discuss leading the offensive line from the center position, clearing the way for James Conner in the run game and building a relationship with Kyler Murray both on and off the field. Plus, Froholdt talks about growing up in Denmark, Viking culture, switching from defense to offense at Arkansas, lifting weights in his garage, his favorite cheat meal and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EP. 80 - Feliz Año Nuevo! Los Cardenales ante las Águilas en este cierre del 2023. Será un partido de muchas historias como el regreso de Jonathan Gannon a Philly y Kyler Murray enfrentando a Jalen Hurts. Quién volará más alto? Los aficionados de Philadelphia son conocidos por ser muy apasionados y entregados a sus colores...esto pudiera ser clave en el resultado del partido. Un Philly cheestake será algo que no debemos perdernos en la visita a esta ciudad de la Costa Ejste?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 714 - The Cardinals haven’t faced a ton of dual-threat quarterbacks this season. Lamar Jackson comes to mind back in Week 8. But here the Cardinals are, for the second straight week, preparing to face a quarterback who is as good with his arm as he is with his legs. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what to expect from Jalen Hurts and what the Cardinals defense may have learned from just playing Justin Fields. A different challenge, yes; yet the goal is the same: keep the quarterback in the pocket, something they did not do last week. Also, the latest from practice. No Kyler Murray or Hollywood Brown, but there was a Leki Fotu sighting as he has been designated to return from injured reserve.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Christmas behind them, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck dig into the post-Bears loss leftovers and the New Year’s festivities to come in Philadelphia - where Jonathan Gannon last coached. The trio discuss the emotions at the start of the Chicago game, the consistent inconsistency of the offense and trying to get the wide receivers going, the inability to slow the Bears rush game or contain Justin Fields, the release of cornerback Marco Wilson and the message that might come out of it, the need at edge rusher, and what knowing the Eagles might help with for Gannon and the Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The hits keep coming to the Cardinals defensive line. Two days after their 27-16 loss to the Bears, head coach Jonathan Gannon revealed that defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter would miss the remainder of the 2023 season with a knee injury causing even more depth issues for the unit. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss Ledbetter's loss, the Cardinals struggles with run defense against the Bears, a slow start on offense and the inability to sustain drives. Plus, Craig and Dani praise Greg Dortch who made some big plays on both special teams and at the wide receiver position on Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals found themselves trailing the Bears 21-0 midway through the second quarter at Soldier Field on Sunday. That deficit proved too much to overcome as Arizona fell to Chicago 27-16. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman talk about the slow start on offense and the inability to stop the Bears ground game. Plus, discussions on the thin defensive line, Greg Dortch providing a spark on both special teams and offense and the Cardinals fighting back to make the game interesting in the fourth quarter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 713 - And here’s hoping the Cardinals deliver what every fan wants: a win. The Cardinals will be spending Christmas Eve day in Chicago, the first of back-to-back road games to close out the calendar year. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the matchup. Who is and who isn’t available? Plus, the guys get the Chicago perspective. Kevin Fishbain, Bears beat writer for The Athletic, joins the show. The Bears have the No. 1 run defense, and we know what happened the last time the Cardinals faced the league’s best against the run; they ran for a season-high 234 yards. The key, though, may be Trey McBride. He’s on every team’s radar now coming off a second 100-receiving yard game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 643 - Cardinals running back Emari Demercado joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to discuss his rookie year, playing a big role on third downs, pass protecting against great edge rushers like Nick Bosa and Montez Sweat, what worked on his 49-yard touchdown run against San Francisco, why academics were always important to him while growing up, the lessons learned from James Conner and the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EP. 79 - El equipo está listo para enfrentar a los Bears. Cúales son las claves para salir de la "ciudad de los vientos" con un triunfo? Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen como debe jugar el equipo para reencontrarse con el triunfo. Estamos a unos días de la Navidad y esta es una edición más de La Tacledada Cardinals. Todos los jugadores están concentrados para que no se pierda el enfoque en Chicago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 712 - The number is zero. As in zero sacks over the past three weeks. And it’s not just about the sacks. The Cardinals aren’t doing enough to affect the quarterback, and the defense has suffered as a result. The solution? Find what the Chicago Bears, this week’s opponent, found with the acquisition of Montez Sweat. He has almost single-handily turned around that defense. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck go over some of the numbers. Plus, there is news - and not good news - in the tight end room; how do the Cardinals get more production out of their wide receivers; and why Sureck is keeping her fingers crossed the weather stays rain-free on Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Cardinals head to Chicago - and Dani Sureck pulls out her very excellent winter coat - Paul Calvisi leads the discussion with Dani and Darren Urban on all things Cardinals as Christmas nears. No, Darren can’t wrap presents but he can chime in on the powerful Cardinals run game against a good Bears defense, the absence of a pass rush of late by the Cards, Trey McBride’s continuous breakout season, Kyler taking accountability, the wide receiver conundrum, the Niners dominating the division, and Pro Bowl Matt Prater (OK, he’s not in the Pro Bowl yet, but he deserves it.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals offense has developed a Top-10 rushing attack under first-year coordinator Drew Petzing. The team had 234 yards on the ground against the 49ers which brought their season yards-per-carry number to 5.1. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi explain what's working with the ground game and talk about the need to score more touchdowns when they reach the Red Zone. Plus, discussions about the Week 15 loss to San Francisco, the recent lack of production from the wide receiver group, Trey McBride making a name for himself and the upcoming matchup with the Bears at Soldier Field in Chicago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 71 - Cardinals tight end Trey McBride joins Dave Pasch to talk about his record-setting season and when everything started to click for him both on the field and inside the meeting room. McBride, who is rapidly becoming a Pro Bowl caliber player, also discusses his relationship with Kyler Murray, which players he admired while growing up, recently visiting Disneyland for the first time, consulting Pinterest for recipes and hosting camps for young athletes in his home state of Colorado.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 711 - One thing is guaranteed about the 2023 Arizona Cardinals: They will compete. And they will compete until the clock shows triple zeros. Unfortunately, when that happened on Sunday, the Cardinals were on the wrong end of a 45-29 decision to the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi - yes, he’s back - look back at the Week 15 loss. The offense was good, at times, i.e., James Conner and Trey McBride, but field goals were not going to beat the 49ers; though Matt Prater did earn the coveted Angry Bird Award for the week. Defensively, just too much Brock Purdy and too much Christian McCaffrey. Too much of the time it just looked too easy for the, once again, NFC West division winners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals put up 234 yards on the ground against the 49ers on Sunday, but it wasn't enough as San Francisco cruised to a 45-29 win over the Big Red at State Farm Stadium. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman discuss how the high-powered 49ers offense was able to find the endzone consistently throughout the game. In addition to the great rushing output, the Cardinals also saw continued maturation and production from tight end Trey McBride who had 10 catches for 102 yards on the afternoon. Our panel discusses McBride's impressive season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 710 - To be honest, it’s a very good offense that Brock Purdy - valley native - is leading. And that is the challenge facing the Cardinals on Sunday. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman preview the Week 15 matchup at State Farm Stadium. It’s the second time the Cardinals will face the 49ers, though the first time with Kyler Murray, who missed the Week 4 game. The Cardinals are 2-2 since Murray’s return. The 49ers, meanwhile, with Purdy, not only lead the NFC West, but they also lead the entire NFC thanks to the league’s third-best scoring offense and No. 1 scoring defense. For more on what’s been going right in San Francisco, the guys are joined by Lindsey Pallares, team reporter for the 49ers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 642 - Guard Will Hernandez joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley at Trophy in Chandler to talk about returning to action coming out of the bye week, what it's like to block for a physical running back like James Conner, tight end Trey McBride's big year and the upcoming battle with the 49ers on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Plus, Hernandez takes you inside the offensive line room. Be careful, you may get fined.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EP. 78 - Los Cardenales llegan a la semana 15 renovados y con las ganas de seguir la racha ganadora. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen cual será la clave para vencer a los 49ers este domingo en el State Farm Stadium. Estamos en la recta final de la temporada y es importante que el equipo cierre bien el 2023. Todo esto y más en La Tacleada Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1988, there was a major buzz around the Valley of the Sun. A high-powered offense led by quarterback Neil Lomax and wide receiver Roy Green gave Phoenix Cardinals fans many exciting moments during their debut season, none more thrilling than an epic second-half comeback against the loaded San Francisco 49ers. Paul Calvisi tells the story of how the Cardinals erased a 23-0 third-quarter deficit to stun the eventual Super Bowl Champs at Sun Devil Stadium. What followed was a major gut punch that would put a premature end to Lomax's career.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 709 - Four games left. Two at home. Two on the road. Two against the division. And all are important for a number of players, when we start looking ahead to next season. The coaches won’t look ahead, but Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck will. Who, outside of Kyler Murray, are these final four games most important for, both on offense and defense? Also, the latest from Wednesday’s practice. Hollywood Brown wasn’t spotted during the open portion. There were Michael Wilson, Antonio Hamilton and Starling Thomas sightings, however; all three had been dealing with injuries heading into the bye week. Plus, the NFL is expanding its international reach when it comes to regular season games. Might the Cardinals be making a trip overseas soon?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the Cardinals back from the bye, the final stretch of four games awaits and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck return too. The trio discuss the ugliness of the NFL’s playoff picture, the Cardinals learning to compete in the current NFC West with two division games left, the ongoing battle to defend the run with the Christian McCaffrey coming to town, the identity of the Cardinals’ offense, a new Paulie nickname for the blossoming tight end, Kyler Murray’s ongoing learning curve, Brock Purdy’s MVP chances, and the anecdote you didn’t know you needed: a 17-year-old Darren drinking lemonade with then-Cardinals QB Neil Lomax in the desert.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After getting some much-needed rest and recovery on the bye week, the Cardinals have four more games to play in the 2023 regular season. What does Jonathan Gannon want to see from his team down the stretch? Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander discuss how the Cardinals can finish strong. Plus, conversations about the emergence of tight end Trey McBride, Kyler Murray's four-game body of work, the potential return of receiver Michael Wilson and the big test coming this Sunday as the Cardinals host the 49ers at State Farm Stadium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 70 - Former Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt, now assistant to the head coach at Alabama, joins Dave Pasch to chat about some of the greatest moments in team history including the thrilling run to Super Bowl XLIII. Whisenhunt also talks about coaching Cardinals legends Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald, his current role with the Crimson Tide, preparing to face Michigan in the college football playoff and his future in the game of football.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Win the game, drop out of that coveted spot. 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. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss James Conner's homecoming, the continued emergence of tight end Trey McBride, a gutsy performance by Kyler Murray and how the defense and special teams were key to the Cardinals success.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

In a game that featured two weather delays, the Cardinals maintained focus on their way to a 24-10 win over the Steelers in Pittsburgh. 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.
