Last Friday, safety Budda Baker showed up on the injury report with a hamstring issue. On Monday, he was placed on injured reserve which means the Cardinals will be without the heartbeat of their team for at least four more games. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander talk about what Baker's absence means for the defense and the team as a whole. Plus, discussions on how the Cardinals let a 21-point lead slip away in the second half against the Giants, the improvement shown by QB Joshua Dobbs, James Conner's huge day against the G-Men, Dennis Gardeck making the most of his opportunities and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 674 - What happened? Yeah, it’s a question all of us are asking on this Monday morning. The Cardinals led by 20 at halftime and 21 points five minutes into the third quarter, yet Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi are talking about a 31-28 loss to the New York Giants in Week 2. Was it the offense? Was it the defense? Was it coaching? Or maybe it was a combination of all the above. The Cardinals played very well in the first half and then not so well in the second half. Grialou and Calvisi go over the good and the bad; and then Calvisi hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award, which went to quarterback Joshua Dobbs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals were firing on all cylinders in the first half against the New York Giants. Then, the second half began and the G-Men chipped away to erase a 21-point deficit. Dani Sureck, Jody Jackson and Zach Gershman try to explain how things went south for the Cardinals on the way to a 31-28 loss. As painful as the loss was, there were several positives to note from the game including a standout performance from running back James Conner and the improvement of Joshua Dobbs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 673 - Running the football is key. And sure, that can be said each week, but perhaps more so this week. The expectation is James Conner needs to have a big day in order for the Cardinals to get a win. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss Sunday’s matchup against the Giants. Both want to see Conner get more touches than he did in Week 1. Obviously, that’s easier said than done. Stopping the run will be important as well. The Giants feature one of the better backs in the game in Saquon Barkley. Also, the guys get the New York perspective. John Schmeelk, radio pre/postgame and podcast host for the Giants, joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 629 - Linebacker Dennis Gardeck joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about his standout performance against the Commanders and the upcoming home opener against the Giants at State Farm Stadium. Last Sunday, Gardeck collected two sacks and a forced fumble that was returned for a touchdown by teammate Cam Thomas. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf talk about the offense needing to improve on their Week 1 output, the physical nature of the defense and what problems the Giants present on both sides of the ball.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 67 - El debut en casa de nuestros Cardenales será especial. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen cuales serán las claves para vencer a los NY Giants que llegarán con sed de venganza. Hay muchos factores a tomar en cuenta, entre ellos el regreso de Isaiah Simmons que hace un par de semanas aún erá parte de nuestro equipo y hoy es parte de los Gigantes. Joshua Dobbs será el QB titular y con una semana más de trabajo la cosas deberían salir mejor en la ofensiva.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep.63 - The legendary Kevin Harlan joins Dave Pasch to discuss all things broadcasting including what it was like calling Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury during the Jets and Bills game on Monday Night Football. Harlan and Pasch also swap Kurt Warner stories, the importance of a good meal on the road, when he knew he wanted to be a broadcaster and what it was like to grow up in an NFL family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 672 - Can one week make that much of a difference? Joshua Dobbs believes so. And hopefully he’s right. Dobbs and the offense need to be much better than they were in Week 1 if the Cardinals have a chance at winning on Sunday. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what they’d like to see out of the offense, i.e., Dobbs targeting his wide receivers and doing so more downfield. There was a lack of explosive plays against the Commanders. Also, Grialou and Sureck ask if six sacks are sustainable for the defense, which could be without two starters this week. Both defensive lineman L.J. Collier and inside linebacker Josh Woods did not practice on Wednesday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals couldn’t get a win in Week 1, but the way they played - especially on defense - certainly caught the eye of Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck. Of course, a big topic going forward isn’t just how the defense stepped up but also how the offense must improve. Our trio discusses Joshua Dobbs’ learning curve, the factor of Clayton Tune, Zach Ertz’s first work on the field since his ACL injury, the need to go Hollywood, edge rushers who could flourish again against a suspect Giants offensive line, the Cardinals’ need to play not just for wins but respect, Aaron Rodgers’ tough luck, and Dani’s sublime use of sarcasm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals opened the 2023 season in Washington with a 20-16 loss to the Commanders. Despite coming up on the losing end, there were several positives to build upon. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch talk about the physical nature that the Cardinals played with, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Plus, discussions on standouts from the game and how QB Joshua Dobbs and the offense can improve on a lackluster debut.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 671 - Three takeaways. Six sacks. Seven passes defensed. The Cardinals defense - on all three levels - excelled in Week 1. The offense, though, did not. It was a struggle a lot of the time for quarterback Joshua Dobbs and company. And that has led many to ask should a change be made? Should Clayton Tune be the starter this week? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi debate the idea. There was no debate, however, how well Dennis Gardeck, Zaven Collins, Kei’Trel Clark among others played. In fact, Gardeck played so well - two sacks, three quarterback hits, and one forced fumble - that Calvisi named him his first weekly Angry Bird Award winner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 670 - Seven months after he was hired, Jonathan Gannon makes his head coaching debut when the Cardinals play at the Washington Commanders on Sunday. It is Week 1 of Year 1 for Gannon and his staff. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the game. And, no, there still has not been an official announcement about who will be the starting quarterback. What about Zach Ertz? Will he play? He’s 10 months post-ACL/MCL surgery. Later, Zach Selby, senior writer for commanders.com, joins the show to further dive into the matchup, though this time from the opponent’s point of view. Football is back.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 628 - Defensive lineman L.J. Collier joins Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to discuss his upbringing in a tiny town, getting a fresh start after four years in Seattle, how he thinks he can strive in Nick Rallis' defensive system and facing the Commanders in the season opener. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf discuss reports that Joshua Dobbs will be the Cardinals starting quarterback and what that means for the team, rookies who are being counted on in major roles and the keys to success in Washington.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 66 - Es momento de prender los motores en el nido Cardenal. La temporada regular comienza este domingo cuando los Cardenales le pegan una visita a los Commanders en Washington. Ya no hay mañana! A darlo todo en el terreno de juego. Es una prueba de fuego para Jonathan Gannon y sus muchachos ante un equipo que está preparado para todo. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú con todos los detalles en la Tacleada Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 669 - Nothing is official. And there won’t be anything official, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon; though a report surfaced Wednesday saying Joshua Dobbs is expected to be the team’s starting quarterback Week 1 at Washington. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the news of the day. Neither are surprised. Dobbs had been trending to be QB1 since his arrival. What would surprise Grialou and Sureck when looking ahead to Sunday’s game? They put the spotlight on the edge rushers. Also, 11 rookies made the 53-man roster. Three are listed first-team on the depth chart. Youth is being served in 2023.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals are about to open the regular season in Washington, and that’s when a team is truly measured. At least that’s what Paul Calvisi sees as he discusses what is to come with Darren Urban and fill-in Zach Gershman, who is on hand with Dani Sureck on assignment. Not that Zach can help with the segment of memorable Washington trips past, including Pat Tillman’s final game in 2001, but it’s all voices on deck when chatting about the quarterback battle and how Joshua Dobbs seems likely to start. The trio also talk about Kyler’s captaincy, the guess for breakout players, how to work the practice squad and the age of Zaven Collins – which still is older than Zach.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The season opener is finally here. The Cardinals will kick off the Jonathan Gannon era this Sunday in Washington against the Commanders. The Big Red starting quarterback is still unknown to the public. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander talk about the matchup with the Commanders, the Cardinals naming their captains including Kyler Murray, QB Joshua Dobbs learning on the fly and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 627 - When quarterback Joshua Dobbs was traded from Cleveland to Arizona last week, he was immediately reunited with Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing who was Dobbs' QB coach with the Browns. Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley talk about how that prior relationship will help get Dobbs ready for the regular season should he be called upon to play immediately. Plus, discussions about Budda Baker adding 15 pounds of muscle during the offseason and which waiver claim will make the biggest impact in 2023.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 668 - The 53-man roster is set, for now anyway. What isn’t set yet, and likely won’t be until gameday, according to Jonathan Gannon, is who will be the team’s starting quarterback Week 1 at Washington. The expectation, though, is that it will be Joshua Dobbs, who only joined the team earlier this week. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss their first impressions of the newcomer. How realistic is it for Dobbs to be QB1 when the season begins September 10? Dobbs isn’t the only recent addition. On Wednesday, the Cardinals claimed a league-high six players, including three offensive linemen, two of whom play center.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 65 - La fecha que a nadie le gusta llegar! Llegaron los cortes en el roster del equipo y hay algunas sopresas. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos cuentan cuales fueron los nombres más importantes en los recortes y como el equipo se prepara para comenzar la temporada regular. Será Joshua Dobbs la solución? Todo esto y más en un episodio más de La Tacleada Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 62 - Cardinals All-Pro safety Budda Baker joins Dave Pasch to discuss the new culture being shaped by GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon, playing in defensive coordinator Nick Rallis' system, what he's learned about new teammates Kyzir White and Kei'Trel Clark, being a film junkie since little league and preparing for the season opener on the road against the Washington Commanders. Plus, Baker explains the offseason workouts that helped him add 15 pounds of muscle and how those gains in the weight room will help him on the field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GM Monti Ossenfort has trimmed the roster for the regular season, and while there are still moves to come, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck still have plenty to discuss. Among the topics: What the arrival of Joshua Dobbs – and the release of Colt McCoy – mean for the team’s Week 1 starting job, and where does Clayton Tune fit; Dealing away Isaiah Simmons; Surprise makes to the initial roster; how many waiver claims the Cardinals will be awarded; and the vibe in the building heading into Week 1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals acquired QB Joshua Dobbs via trade with the Cleveland Browns last Thursday. Could the 7th-year pro get the starting nod in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders? It's possible but head coach Jonathan Gannon said he won't be publicly naming a starting QB. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Drew Stanton discuss Dobbs' arrival in Arizona, why he could find himself leading the Cardinals into the season and how his relationship with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing will be invaluable. Plus, discussions on several position battles as the Cardinals work to trim their roster to 53 players.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 667 - And now there are five quarterbacks on the roster, though one is not yet healthy enough to play so really, it’s four. Craig Grialou is back, and this time he’s joined by Paul Calvisi – Darren Urban was a bit busy due to the breaking news – to discuss all things quarterback. Kyler Murray will remain on the physically unable to perform list, which is not a surprise, and Colt McCoy has been released; that was a surprise. That leaves Clayton Tune, David Blough, Jeff Driskel, and Joshua Dobbs, who was recently acquired from the Cleveland Browns. Who starts Week 1? Great question. Grialou and Calvisi have their thoughts because head coach Jonathan Gannon isn’t saying, and won’t until Week 1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 666 - Six quarterbacks on the roster. Which two, or three, make the 53-man roster? And this is assuming Kyler Murray opens the season on the physically unable to perform list, where he’s been since the start of training camp. Craig Grialou and Darren Urban try to reach a consensus ahead of Tuesday, the day when teams must reduce their rosters. Also, who maybe played their way on to the roster over the week spent in Minnesota; how injuries may impact roster decisions; and what does it say about the players - like rookies Michael Wilson and Kei’Trel Clark -- who didn’t play in the preseason finale.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 626 - Tight end Geoff Swaim joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about his role heading into his 9th NFL season, what he likes about Drew Petzing's offense and how he can help in the run game. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf break down the wild Thursday in Minnesota that not only featured another joint-practice session with the Vikings but also saw Monti Ossenfort make three trades.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 665 - First, Isaiah Simmons was traded. Later, Josh Jones was dealt. And then, Joshua Dobbs was acquired. In between, the Cardinals held their second of two joint practices with the Vikings. In other words, it was a busy - very busy - Thursday in Minnesota for GM Monti Ossenfort and his team, both on and off the field. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react to it all. They’re joined by Paul Calvisi, who was in the middle of it all in the North Star State. Calvisi gives his bird’s-eye view of what was a much better practice compared to the day before. All three look ahead to Saturday’s preseason finale, the last evaluation in determining the 53-man roster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the humidity of joint practices with the Vikings, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck tackle the final week of the preseason. Among the topics: the Cardinals learning to play in the heat, a quarterback battle (apparently) not yet decided, the flash points of work against the Vikings, a visit from Larry Legend, the race to decide the roster, Isaiah Simmons bounceback, and a farewell to Paul’s mustache.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before the Cardinals begin their week-long stay in Minnesota, Craig Grialou, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Zach Gershman take a look back at Saturday’s 38-10 preseason loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. One of the few bright spots from the game was the play of Keaontay Ingram. Did he show enough to be the No. 2 running back? Overall, the Cardinals need a much better showing this week. From the penalties, missed tackles and explosive plays allowed, the Cardinals took a step back from the preseason opener. A good test awaits, first in the form of joint practices against the Vikings and then the preseason finale on Saturday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 664 - Explosive plays. Missed tackles. Penalties. The Cardinals allowed or committed too many in Saturday’s preseason loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The good news is, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, all are correctable. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look back at the 38-10 loss. What did they see? And did it look any better from Sureck’s view from the sideline? There’s discussion on Isaiah Simmons’ play plus how close is the quarterback competition between Colt McCoy and Clayton Tune; is the punting competition over; and, more importantly, is Sureck packed for Minnesota. The Cardinals are holding joint practices with the Vikings both Wednesday and Thursday before the preseason finale on Saturday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 625 - Entering his third season with the Cardinals, defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter is looking to have his breakout season. Ledbetter joined Paul Calvisito talk about the culture shock that Jonathan Gannon has brought to Arizona, running with the first team defensive line, his fit in Nick Rallis’ scheme and more. Plus, Calvisi and Ron Wolfley discuss the return of Zach Ertz, the competition at cornerback and how the Cardinals are preparing for Saturday night’s preseason matchup with the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs at State Farm Stadium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 663 - No question, going from an air conditioned-State Farm Stadium to outdoors in the heat and humidity in Tempe has been different. It’s also been by design. The Cardinals used this week as a dry run for the regular season, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon; and thus, the change in practice location. After talking about the weather - borderline complaining - Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman turn their attention to preseason game No. 2. The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are in town Saturday. Are the Cardinals up for the challenge? Also, the guys discuss the job center Hjalte Froholdt has done which dovetailed into a much larger discussion about the first-team offensive line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 64 - Luego del triunfo ante los Broncos en el primer juego de la pretemporada, el equipo está listo para seguir con la racha ganadora. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú nos dicen cuales jugadores deben de mostrarse más en el siguiente partido ante Kansas City. Para muchos será una oportunidad más para enseñar el talento y seguir con el sueño de pertenecer a un equipo de la NFL.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First-year Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis joins Dave Pasch to talk about his fascinating journey to becoming the youngest coordinator in the NFL. Rallis discusses his time as a player at the University of Minnesota, how he got into coaching, thoughts on Zaven Collins rushing off the edge, Isaiah Simmons playing safety, having a familiar face at linebacker in Kyzir White and the position battle at cornerback. Rallis also tells stories about his famous professional wrestling brother Mike Rallis, currently known in the ring as Riddick Moss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s hot out there on the practice field, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have made it through to have another camp podcast to talk about the key takeaways from the preseason win over the Broncos – and it still means a little something, even in preseason; the pass rush that popped; Beachum v Jones as the swing tackle; leaning into the future with young players; L.J. Collier trying to reset his career; Clayton Tune’s debut; Zach Ertz comes back; the potential offensive weapons; and being Jekyll-Hyde on the offensive line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tight end Zach Ertz was activated off the physically unable to perform list on Tuesday and joined his teammates in time for their morning practice. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Drew Stanton talk about what Ertz's return means for the Cardinals offense, the matchup problems he can create and how he'll potentially be used by offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. Plus, a review of the Cardinals preseason win over the Broncos, the battle for the No. 2 cornerback position and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 662 - Preseason or not, the Cardinals looked good on Friday. More importantly, they won. And, yes, that matters. All you had to do was look at the reactions of the coaches and players, including those players who did not play, when Emari Demercado powered his way into the end zone to know how much the 18-17 win meant. Craig Grialou and Darren Urban discuss the number of different positives from the preseason opener. Colt McCoy, Clayton Tune and David Blough all operated within the offense; Hjalte Froholdt went viral on a couple of plays; the defensive line “played with violence” according to the head coach; Dennis Gardeck led a better than expected pass rush; and Kei’Trel Clark impressed in his NFL debut. Plus, there is good news to begin the week: Zach Ertz is coming off PUP soon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 624 - Center Pat Elflein joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about fighting for a spot on the Cardinals offensive line. Find out how being the son of a brick mason helped shape Elflein's work ethic, what he thinks of Drew Petzing's offense, first impressions of rookie tackle Paris Johnson and more. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf look ahead to Friday night's preseason opener against the Broncos, the position battle at No. 2 corner and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 661 - No, training camp is not over. It is over at State Farm Stadium, however. The Cardinals held their final practice – and final open practice – in the stadium on Wednesday. Two more weeks of camp remain, with one week in Tempe and one week in Minnesota which will include a pair of joint practices with the Vikings ahead of the preseason finale. Speaking of the preseason, the first game is on Friday. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go over what they want to see, or perhaps better said, hope to see when the Cardinals host the Denver Broncos. First though, the guys discuss the unfortunate news that running back Marlon Mack, who was just signed five days ago, is out for the season with an Achilles injury.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, nor Dani Sureck won the Powerball. So they finish out camp at State Farm Stadium as they started it, on the podcast. This week’s topics include the most intense practice of camp at the right time; what to make of the first depth chart; what exactly might happen at cornerback; the need to play rookies and young guys now; the wide receiver pecking order; who the Cardinals need to play in the preseason opener against Denver; what players to watch against the Broncos; the question at center; and Paul’s third and final chance at an Isaiah Simmons nickname.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals added depth to their running back room by adding veteran Marlon Mack to the mix. Running backs coach Autry Denson joined Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi to talk about Mack's arrival and what it means at the position, what has impressed him most about James Conner and what he wants to see from his group in Friday's preseason opener against the Broncos at State Farm Stadium. Plus, Grialou, Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss Isaiah Simmons' move to safety, the opportunity for the young cornerbacks and what positions they will be watching during Friday's game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 660 - A baseball fan growing up, Isaiah Simmons played center field. Now in the NFL, he finds himself playing a similar position. Simmons is playing safety, or deep center field. It is not a new position, but it is a position he is expected to be playing more than he did in any of his previous three seasons. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss Simmons’ role and what Simmons had to say about the position when he addressed the media on Monday. Also, the guys look back at Saturday’s Red & White Practice. Who stood out? What stood out? Plus, good news in the outside linebacker room: BJ Ojulari is off the PUP list and Myjai Sanders is back practicing. Both are expected to be key contributors this season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 623 - Cardinals guard Will Hernandez joins Paul Calvisi to chat about training camp life, potentially running the ball more in 2023, the offensive line group as a whole and rookie Paris Johnson's duties both on the field and off. Plus, Calvisi and Ron Wolfley discuss the cornerback depth chart, Kyler Murray absorbing the game from a different perspective and how a team can take on the persona of its head coach.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 659 - Where is the pass rush going to come from? That’s one of the bigger questions that needs to be answered - hopefully - during training camp. The Cardinals have a lot of talent in the room, but it’s a lot of unproven talent. Zaven Collins is the most intriguing name among the group as he makes the switch from inside to outside linebacker. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they’ve seen thus far from Collins and the others. Also, who is winning the punting competition; the musical talents of running back Corey Clement, who is trying to win the No. 2 job behind James Conner. First though, the guys give their thoughts on the second padded practice of camp. It appeared the defense may have had the upper hand against the offense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After finishing the 2022 season as the Cardinals starting quarterback, David Blough is back fighting for a roster spot on the 2023 squad. Blough joined Craig Grialou and former Cardinals QB Drew Stanton who was teammates with Blough for a short time in Cleveland. Listen as the quarterbacks trade stories about QB meetings, pranks, the importance of footwork and learning the Drew Petzing offense. Plus, Grialou, Stanton and Paul Calvisi talk about the uncertainty at corner, QB Clayton Tune's upside as a rookie and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck get their first podcast out at State Farm Stadium for training camp, and obviously, there is much to discuss. The trio talk about the first padded work and hitting for real; what will happen with OLB BJ Ojulari; how to sort out the defensive line; how first-round pick Paris Johnson has looked; the possibility of Clayton Tune; Kyler’s health; Isaiah Simmons’ role; Budda Baker back and focused; “cramming the ball vertical,”; the biggest things the Cards need to know by the end of August; and of course Paul’s fear that an alien invasion is being swept under the rug.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 63 - A una semana de haber comenzado el Training Camp hay varios jugadores que has destacado. Rolando Cantú y Luis Herández nos dan sus opiniones al respecto. El coordinador ofensivo Drew Petzing ha brillado y es tema de conversación en nuestro episodio de La Tacleada Cardinals. Cada vez huele más al inicio de la temporada regular. El proceso del 2023 va en buen camino.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 658 - Finally. It’s what everyone has been waiting for. On Day 6 of training camp, the Cardinals put the pads on. As GM Monti Ossenfort said after, “Let the competition throughout the roster begin.” Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what they saw during the 75-minute practice. What did they see? What did they hear? A lot of collisions. A lot of trash talk, especially between Michael Wilson and Christian Matthew. Most eyes, though, were directed at the 1-on-1 work between the offensive and defensive lines. Paris Johnson Jr. had his moments. In fact, much of the 2023 draft class has stood out during the early days of camp. And please, can we just focus on 2023 and not look ahead to 2024 yet?! Thank you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 60 - Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing joins Dave Pasch to talk about his overall coaching philosophy, his path from the Ivy League to the NFL, how veteran coach Norv Turner influenced his career, his relationship with head coach Jonathan Gannon and Kyler Murray’s future including what challenges he’ll face when he returns to the field. Plus, will Petzing call plays from the field or the booth?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Linebacker Josh Woods nearly hung up his football cleats forever after college when he took a job making donuts for a friend's brunch company in Maryland. But then, the NFL came calling and Woods has carved out a career that includes being named a captain of the 2022 Detroit Lions. Woods joined Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi to discuss his path to the Cardinals, playing for Jonathan Gannon and establishing a new culture in Arizona like he did in Detroit under Dan Campbell. Plus, Kyle Vanden Bosch joins Grialou and Calvisi to discuss Kyler Murray's rehab, Budda Baker being the heartbeat of the team, the offense under coordinator Drew Petzing and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
