Cardinals Cover 2 - Rapid Reaction: 2025 Schedule Released

Ep. 884 - And now we know the when. The Arizona Cardinals schedule is out. It was released with much fanfare – more on that later. The who and the where have been known for months and on Wednesday, we got the when. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi dive into the 18-week, 17-game schedule. What do they like? What do they not like? How many primetime games did the Cardinals get? When is the bye week? And how many ‘revenge’ games are there? (Yes, Paul is keeping track.) Now, about the fanfare. “Rocketship,” aka inside linebacker Mack Wilson Sr., rapped the schedule. That’s right, rapped.

Cardinals Underground - The Schedule, The Battles, And Speed Limits

Schedule release is upon us, and while there will be a 5 p.m. Wednesday surprise along with your dates and times, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are here to tackle the big picture topics – like how did the Vikings get two international games and another team (say, the Cardinals) didn’t get one? Also in the discussion: potential Thanksgiving games, the greeting card industry, the importance of when you play an opponent, Mack Wilson Sr.’s charity hoops game, a new Getting Cultured, the “perfection” of rookies this time of year, the best camp battles to come (hint, a lot on defense), this week’s Winning Behavior, and a highest speed limits around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Obviously, first-round defensive lineman Walter Nolen III is a given. And then there’s cornerback Will Johnson, how does he carry himself?

Cardinals Cover 2 - What Will The Defense Look Like?

Ep. 880 - Six free agents. Six draft picks. In just two months, the Arizona Cardinals have added 12 new players to the defense. And now, it’s up to Nick Rallis to figure out how they all fit together. While he does that - and he’s got four months before the season starts - Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi have a way-too-early conversation about the defense. What will it look like? Might there be a scheme change or adjustment based on the new personnel? How do draft picks Walter Nolen III, Will Johnson and Jordan Burch factor in? Also, can Ohio State teammates Cody Simon and Denzel Burke, a pair of Day 3 selections, make enough of an impression in the offseason to have a role, or maybe even start, in Week 1?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 879 - To players, to fans; yes, numbers matter. Specifically, jersey numbers. On Wednesday, the Cardinals’ seven-player draft class received their first jersey numbers. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what numbers stood out, like Cody Simon being issued No. 50; does this mean he’ll be in the middle of the defense as an inside linebacker? And how cool is it that Will Johnson will wear ‘0’ as an outside cornerback? There are other numbers to mention; Calais Campbell (93) and Dalvin Tomlinson (94) will continue to sport the digits they’ve worn their entire pro careers; Josh Sweat (10) and Baron Browning (5) are changing their numbers; while Jacoby Brissett (7) will wear a familiar number to Cardinals fans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Underground - Class Of The Draft

Yes, we are opening with a mention of Valentin Senn, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck quickly turn their attention to the Cardinals’ draft class and what it all entailed. The discussion included the thought process of the Cardinals during their trade in the fifth round, Denzel Burke and why they were OK with the opportunity cost; collecting all those cornerbacks and what the battle will be like in the secondary; the benefit of getting both Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson, two guys considered first-rounders pre-draft; what Johnson can be; a Belichickian episode of Getting Cultured; the Shedeur saga; Cody Simon’s chances to start; Jalen Milroe’s winning behavior; and Paul updates the power poll of incompetence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Evaluating The 7-Player Draft Class

Ep. 878 - The grades are in. So, how do the experts feel GM Monti Ossenfort did with his selections in the 2025 NFL Draft? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss some of what has been written since the end of the draft on Saturday. A lot of the words written has focused on the Cardinals’ first three picks: DT Walter Nolen III, CB Will Johnson, and Edge Jordan Burch. In total, Ossenfort made seven picks, six on the defensive side of the ball, which, depending on what you read, received either an ‘A’ or ‘B’ grade.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Defense Times 2 On Day 2; CB Will Johnson, Edge Jordan Burch Drafted

Ep. 876 – On Friday, the Cardinals doubled down on defense in the 2025 NFL Draft. Again, are we surprised? OK, maybe a little, but defense has been the team’s MO all offseason. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi – call it Cover 3 – talk about the selections of Michigan cornerback Will Johnson (second round, 47th overall pick) and Oregon Edge rusher Jordan Burch (third round, 78th overall pick). For those keeping track, that’s three defensive players in the first three rounds. Also, what did GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon have to say about Johnson and Burch, why they were the picks; why Monti didn’t decide to trade down despite offers; and JG explains why Walter Nolen III is already off to a great start.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Cardinals Legend Adrian Wilson Sees ‘Explosiveness’, ‘Quickness’ In Walter Nolen III

Ep. 875 – As Paul Calvisi likes to say, players know players. So, why don’t we get a players’ perspective on Ole Miss defensive tackle Walter Nolen III.

That’s right, Cardinals legend and Ring of Honor member Adrian Wilson joins Calvisi and Craig Grialou. Exactly what are the Cardinals getting in Nolen, who was the 16th pick on night one of the 2025 NFL Draft? What type of player is the 6-foot-4, 296-pound defensive lineman? How will Nolen benefit from a loaded d-line room and veterans like Calais Campbell and Dalvin Tomlinson? A-Dub answers all that and more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react in real time just moments after Nolen was selected and held a conference call with local reporters. The guys explain why they like the pick; what Nolen had to say about joining the Cardinals; what some of the draft analysts thought about Nolen heading into the draft; and what this now means for what is a very loaded defensive line room, which is not a bad thing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - It Is Officially Draft Week (Finally!)

Ep. 871 - Three days, Bird Gang. Three days until the start of the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s been a long wait, and now that wait is just about over. So, what’s the latest buzz? What is the latest talk, not only league-wide but focused on the Arizona Cardinals?

Cardinals Cover 2 - Draft Board Is ‘Set’ One Week Out

Ep. 870 – It’s become an annual spring tradition: the pre-draft press conference. GMs, and often head coaches, meet with the media and answer questions ahead of the NFL Draft. A lot of words are spoken, but not a lot is said. To put it another way, no one is going to tip their hand or show their cards. Everything is kept very close to the vest. (Have we used enough idioms?!) Still, that doesn’t stop people, including Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck, from trying to read between the lines. Will Monti Ossenfort stick-and-pick at 16? Trade down? Trade up? All options appear to be on the table. All positions, or most positions, seem to be on the table with that first-round selection regardless of what the team has done in free agency. In other words, stay tuned.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The splash zone? No, probably just balderdash, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have much to discuss as the draft draws near. With Patrick Peterson in town, it gets one to thinking – is a cornerback the first-round choice? Another defensive lineman? A wrecker on the interior offensive line? All possible.

Frelund, an analytics expert, and Ross, a former front office executive, joined both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from the Scouting Combine last month in Indianapolis. In addition to QB1, the conversations with the two included what positions the Cardinals should focus on in the draft and just how “wide open” they believe the NFC West is in 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
