Ep. 1046 - For three seasons Nick Rallis and Drew Petzing worked together as the coordinators for then-head coach Jonathan Gannon. The two were also on the same staff in Minnesota a few years back. In other words, they are very familiar with one another. Whether or not that gives one an advantage over the other this week when the Cardinals host the Detroit Lions won’t be known until late Sunday afternoon. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what Rallis’ defense will face in the Petzing-coached,

Ep. 1039 - So, everyone can agree the offense was not good on Sunday. And everyone also can agree that Marvin Harrison Jr. should be involved in the offense, which he was not against the Seattle Seahawks. But what everyone does not agree with is how much or how early should Harrison be involved each week. Craig Grialou and J.P. Shadrick discuss the ongoing narrative surrounding the Cardinals’ wide receiver, how head coach Mike LaFleur and quarterback Jacoby Brissett reacted to what’s been said about

Ep. 1035 - Offense. Defense. Special teams. All three phases had a hand in the Cardinals’ 26-14 win at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Ep. 1024 - January. That’s the last time the Cardinals played a game. Some seven months ago. On Thursday, they and the Carolina Panthers suit up for the Hall of Fame Game in Canton.

Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go over it, focusing first on the defense and the position battles that do exist in the coaches’ eyes.

Ep. 1022 - It’s early in his tenure as head coach, but already Mike LaFleur has made it known what he feels is the best way to evaluate players. In pads, playing 11-on-11.

Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez discuss what they saw, in-between all the laundry on the field. Yeah, a lot of flags thrown by the officials, due to penalties on both sides of the ball.

Ep. 1020 - Let’s be honest: Not much is expected from the Arizona Cardinals in 2026. That seems to be the consensus, both locally and nationally - but certainly not shared by those players in the locker room. Still, when looking at the roster, it’s hard not to notice the talent, especially on offense. Playmakers like Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., and now Jeremiyah Love have many talking about the potential and the possibility of what it may look like under the direction and

For the first time since the draft, the rookie class, including first-round pick Jeremiyah Love, was on the field, wearing Cardinals gear and doing football-related activities.

Ep. 990 – At first glance, he reminds you of Dennis Gardeck, maybe even Pat Tillman (or Kurt Cobain, according to Paul Calvisi.) Watch him play, and yeah, the Gardeck similarities continue. Hear him speak, and you feel like you’re talking to Budda Baker in terms of how he describes his style of play. In other words, new safety Andrew Wingard, before even playing a down of football in a Cardinals uniform, is trending towards being a fan favorite. Recently, Wingard sat down with Calvisi
