Cardinals Cover 2 - ‘A Lot To Learn From’ Preseason Game, Joint Practice In Denver

Ep. 915 - Let’s be honest, it was a tough watch Saturday night. The Cardinals concluded their four-day stay in Denver with a less than stellar performance against the Broncos, losing 27-7 in Week 2 of the preseason. Paul Calvisi was there in the Mile High City. He joins Craig Grialou to discuss the game, where not much went right offensively or defensively - special teams, though, was a positive - as well as the joint practice on Thursday. Key takeaways: Jacoby Brissett looks regular-season ready, Semi Fehoko stood out in his Cardinals debut, and a handful of young linemen - Jeremiah Byers and Josh Fryar on the O-line and P.J. Mustipher on the D-line - flashed, but was it enough to make the final 53-man roster? Also, Jonathan Gannon wants to see better “basic fundamentals of football” this week, the last week before roster cuts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey McBride, Offense Have ‘Really Good Day’ In Joint Practice With Denver Broncos

Ep. 914 - Fitting that the hometown boy had a good showing against the hometown team. Trey McBride, who grew up a Broncos fan, was “unguardable” in Thursday’s joint practice, according to Darren Urban, who was this show’s eyes and ears in Denver. Following practice, and minus his bucket hat, Darren joined Craig Grialou to discuss what he saw from the offense - McBride obviously, but also Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Trey Benson - as well as the defense plus his account of the lone dust-up between the two teams that, to no one’s surprise, involved Tip Reiman in a special teams period. Also, Darren and Craig react to Calais Campbell, himself a Colorado native, saying he would be “very surprised” if this is not his last season and Broncos head coach Sean Payton telling the media neither team plans to play many of its starters on Saturday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Darren Hall Among Those Who Stood Out In Preseason Opener

Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look back at Saturday’s preseason opener, a 20-17 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs from State Farm Stadium. Dani, by the way, had a unique vantage point for the game. She was on the sideline, working on the TV broadcast. What did she see? Who stood out to her? Again, a lot of players flashed from running backs Trey Benson and Emari Demercado to wide receiver Xavier Weaver and cornerback Darren Hall. And as you’d expect, there was a lot that needs to be cleaned up. Turnovers. Penalties; especially at the start of the game. All in all, though, a good effort and first impression in front of the Bird Gang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Will it be seen in the regular season? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss why defensive coordinator Nick Rallis likes Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson and Rabbit Taylor-Demerson on the field at the same time and why maybe Rabbit has forced Rallis’ hand based on how he played last season.

And it’s not just Jones who has caught people’s attention. Craig and Dani discuss the play of second-year offensive lineman Isaiah Adams. (Yes, Dani was right, and Craig was wrong.)

Cardinals Cover 2 - Might Garrett Williams Never Come Off The Field This Season?

Ep. 907 - Last season Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson, more times than not, played 100-percent of the defensive snaps. Could Garrett Williams join that club in 2025? Maybe. At least that’s what Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss after hearing what Jonathan Gannon said on Thursday and what the guys have seen thus far in training camp. Williams just might be too good to come off the field. Also talked about: pre-snap motion, how much of that will we see this season; no Marvin Harrison Jr. on the field, but no one panic; the importance of special teams, including why Michael Wilson is field punts during practice; and this time next year, will the Cardinals be playing in the Hall of Fame Game?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Advantage Defense On Day 1 In Pads

Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck following Sunday’s training camp practice at State Farm Stadium.

But the guys start with the bad, the unfortunate news that three players – Bilal Nichols, BJ Ojulari, and Walter Nolen III – will not be on the field, at least not quite yet. Nichols and Ojulari are still rehabbing injuries from last season. Nolen’s injury, meanwhile, is a new one that hopefully doesn’t cost him a lot of time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In two weeks, the Arizona Cardinals will report to State Farm Stadium for the start of training camp and will, unofficially, kick off the start of the football season. Craig Grialou, Zach Gershman and Rob Fredrickson look ahead to camp and what adding more friction, as Jonathan Gannon has alluded to, will look like. Plus, the guys discuss Josh Sweat cracking the NFL's Top 100 Players list and what other Cardinals might show up later, what a successful Cardinals offense should look like in 2025 and how Dadrion "Rabbit" Taylor-Demerson can make a jump in his second season while playing behind Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Around The NFC West: It’s A ‘New-Look’ Team In San Francisco

Ep. 898 - Yes, Brock Purdy remains the quarterback. Christian McCaffrey – healthy, by the way – is firmly entrenched at running back, and George Kittle is, well, George Kittle. Still, there will be a lot of new faces on the San Francisco 49ers in 2025. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman continue their annual offseason tradition of looking around the rest of the NFC West. Next stop: San Francisco. Craig and Zach are joined by Matt Barrows, who covers the 49ers for The Athletic. Among the topics the guys discuss: the overhaul of the defense, starting with its coordinator and remodeled D-line (sound familiar, Bird Gang?) Also, the wide receiver room is “a concern” and why it was important to lock up Purdy, Kittle and Fred Warner to long-term contract extensions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 – Around The NFC West: QB, WR Changes In Seattle

Ep. 897 - Last year, the Seahawks made a coaching change. This offseason, they’ve shaken things up even more—bringing in a new quarterback and wide receivers. In short, the 2025 Seattle Seahawks will look quite different. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman kick off their annual offseason tour around the NFC West, starting with Seattle. They’re joined by Seahawks.com senior reporter John Boyle to break it all down. Topics include the arrival of quarterback Sam Darnold, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak—and what their presence means for an offense that still features its top two running backs. On defense, Seattle returns 10 of 11 starters, including Cardinals nemesis Leonard Williams, and has added veteran pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence. The trio also looks at which of the Seahawks’ 11 draft picks could make an immediate impact.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
