Ep. 415 - What's in a number? Apparently a lot for NFL players. News that the league may ease restrictions on who can wear which uniform numbers has excited some. Markus Golden hinted at a potential number change before saying he'll stick with No. 44. The uniform number proposal is just one measure expected to be voted on by the owners this week. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss what they'd like to see passed. Plus, Mike Jurecki continues his countdown of the top-50 draft prospects. He unveils No. 11-20. Finally, quarterbacks make the list.

Ep. 414 - This offseason we've heard a number of players—from J.J. Watt to A.J. Green and most recently James Conner—say they're looking forward to a fresh start in Arizona. They've hit the reset button on their careers with the decision to sign with the Cardinals. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki like the idea of a change of scenery benefiting the team. Plus, where does Kyler Murray land on the list of MVP candidates for 2021 and Jurecki continues his top-50 countdown of the best draft prospects, focusing in on No. 21-30.

Ep. 503 - The 2021 NFL Draft is two weeks away and the Cardinals are making their final preparations. Director of player personnel Dru Grigson joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about scouting during the pandemic, meetings with prospects, covering pro days, building their draft board and more. Grigson also discusses the deepest positions in the draft and what it's like inside the war room. Plus, Wolf and Calvisi speculate on the role of new running back James Conner who signed with the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Fitz might be talking more golf than football these days, but the guys have talked about adding a running back for weeks, and now the Cardinals have one. So Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard have plenty to say about newcomer James Conner, how he fits in with Chase Edmonds, what it means – or doesn't mean – for the draft and Eno Benjamin, the question of just what will the Cardinals' offense look like this season, whether players will skip the voluntary offseason work, Paul's latest theory about Fitz, and just how much might the Cards reach for a cornerback in the draft?

The Cardinals found the big running back they were looking for when they signed former Steeler James Conner to a one-year deal on Tuesday. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki talk about how Conner might work in the offense with returning running back Chase Edmonds. Plus, the guys get deep into NFL Draft talk and examine options at wide receiver, cornerback and tight end. What will the Cardinals do with the 16th pick overall?

Ep. 413 - Even with the addition of Malcolm Butler, cornerback remains the one position in need of the most work. So, it is good to hear scouts say this year's draft is deep at that spot. Wide receiver, too, is a position where talent can be found in either the second or third round. It's a position that is featured prominently between No. 31-40 on Mike Jurecki's top-50 prospect countdown, which is highlighted on this show. And speaking of wide receiver, what do Jurecki and Craig Grialou make of Larry Fitzgerald being featured to help promote a golf tournament in Tampa? And not just any golf tournament in Tampa.

Ep. 502 - Former Cardinals wide receiver Frank Sanders joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about the offseason additions and upcoming NFL Draft. Sanders reveals why he thinks A.J. Green will thrive in Arizona, how competition leads to greatness and what he feels are the major traits of a good cornerback. Plus, we remember Sanders' role in the improbable 1998 Wild Card win over the Cowboys in Dallas.

Ep. 412 - Three weeks from today is the 2021 NFL Draft. With that in mind, Mike Jurecki begins to unveil his top-50 prospects list, highlighting on this show No. 41-50. Remember, the Cardinals have just two selections—No. 16 and 49 overall—among the first 50 picks and six total selections overall. Jurecki and Craig Grialou discuss what positions they would like to see addressed at the end of the three-day draft. Plus, there was a Larry Fitzgerald sighting in Jurecki's neighborhood. What does it mean? Probably nothing, but it's a good story.

It's good that Paul Calvisi and Kyle Odegard have settled their differences from a week ago, leaving an easy transition for the two to join Darren Urban to discuss the Reggie White/J.J. Watt parallels, what's left for the Cardinals to do in free agency, that cornerback position heading into the draft, the pros and cons of trading away the first-round pick for an established veteran or the need for immediate impact from 16, the offseason aggressiveness in the NFC West, the need to chase a QB in the NFL, Colt McCoy's role and, of course, Fitzwatch and the A.J. Green meaning.

The Cardinals significantly boosted the leadership in the locker room with additions made in the offseason. Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Bertrand Berry talk about how leadership can take the team to the next level. The guys also discuss A.J. Green's change of scenery, Rodney Hudson's style and the duo of J.J. Watt and Chandler Jones as they seek to disrupt opposing quarterbacks. Plus, a look ahead to the 2020 NFL Draft.

Ep. 411 - Best Dressed. Most Popular. Most Likely To Succeed. Remember those categories back in middle school and high school? Sure you do. Well, Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki put a different spin on the yearbook-style superlatives when looking at many of the moves made by the Cardinals this offseason. Feel free to agree or disagree with their selections. There is no debate, however, that the team has been aggressive with the additions to the roster. Also, the guys discuss the difficult conversations GM Steve Keim has had with a handful of players concerning their position on the team.

Ep. 501 - Former Cardinals defensive lineman Frostee Rucker joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about J.J. Watt teaming with Chandler Jones up front, the outlook for the defense overall and how leadership can help take a team to the next level. Plus, Rucker discusses wide receiver A.J. Green and center Rodney Hudson, one-time teammates of his with the Bengals and Raiders respectively. According to Rucker, the change of scenery could propel Green to a productive season in Arizona.

Ep. 410 - It's certainly not going to grab the headlines, but the free-agent signing of Colt McCoy did grab the attention of both Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki. The Cardinals needed to bring a veteran into the quarterback room. McCoy has been around the block a time or two, and he can be a great sounding board for Kyler Murray. Also, the additions this week of Shawn Williams and Chris Banjo solidify the safety position.

It should've just been another podcast talking about 17-game seasons and Malcolm Butler's arrival, but Paul Calvisi and Kyle Odegard nearly came to virtual blows on the subject of leadership and how important it really is for the Cardinals -- with Darren Urban trying the play peacemaker. Thank goodness they were able to get past it all, and move on to Butler's impact and what is still needed at cornerback, how the 49ers trade impacts the NFC West and the its future, the addition of a 17th regular-season game to the schedule, and Paul's latest why Fitz-is-waiting theory – and how we may all want to be checking our fax machines.

Over the past week, the Cardinals helped themselves fill a big need by adding four players to the secondary. Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Bertrand Berry talk about the roles for cornerback Malcolm Butler along with safeties Charles Washington, Shawn Williams and Chris Banjo. Plus, discussions on the offensive line and tight end group as well as the latest news and notes coming out of the NFC West.

Ep. 409 - It would seem to be one of life's necessary evils: putting a grade on a team's offseason moves, be it a signing or acquisition by trade. Yet, by all accounts, the Cardinals have done very well for themselves according to the so-called experts. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki review some of the grades given. Plus, what do the guys make of the 49ers now holding the No. 3 overall pick in the draft? First though, why it was good to see J.J. Watt "call out" Kyler Murray on social media over the weekend.
