Ep. 446 - Yes, it's been only two practices. And, no, neither practice has been in pads. Yet, it's been hard not to notice both Robert Alford and A.J. Green making play after play on the field. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki give their thoughts on what they've seen thus far from two players who the Cardinals have high hopes for this season. Also, the guys provide an update on J.J. Watt's sore hamstring as well as how COVID protocols have affected the offensive line.

Ep. 5 - Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú hablan sobre el esperado comienzo de Training Camp. Cuál es el jugador que debería tener un mayor impacto durante el Training Camp? Cómo llega el equipo? También hablaremos sobre todos los protocólos relacionados al Covid-19 y sobre Larry Fitzgerald.

Ep. 518 - Cornerback Malcolm Butler, one of the new faces on the Cardinals defense, joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about having confidence in his game, playing in Vance Joseph's system, competing with a "dog" mentality and his legendary Super Bowl-sealing interception at State Farm Stadium. Plus, a discussion about position battles and the need for consistency and discipline on offense.

Ep. 445 - Everyone was all smiles. And that included Chandler Jones, who Kliff Kingsbury described as "jovial" on the first day of training camp. Jones' attendance as well as Jordan Hicks reporting on time were something both Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki wanted to see on Day 1. Jones and Hicks were among the most talked about players this offseason. Also, the guys discussed why it was good players did not shy away from mentioning playoffs as the goal for this season.

The offseason is finally over and it's time for training camp. The Cardinals reported to State Farm Stadium on Tuesday to begin preparing for a very important 2021 season. Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Bertrand Berry talk about all the news surrounding reporting day, Chandler Jones' situation, defensive versatility and two major weapons in the running game.

Alas, Kyle Odegard has recorded his last podcast, but it's a memorable one, as he joins Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban to chat about Chandler Jones' contract situation heading into training camp, Larry Fitzgerald's ongoing vague-ness about his future and if that future might still include playing, the top position each is looking for at camp, potential for late veteran signings, Kyle's love of analytics and Paul's breakdown of spoons.

Ep. 444 - It's time. Time for 90 players to report to training camp with the goal of making the 2021 Arizona Cardinals Football Club. It's Year 3 for Kyler Murray. Is he ready to take that next step? How do all the new additions, like J.J. Watt, fit in? What's going on with Chandler Jones? And, oh yeah, might we see Larry Fitzgerald? Those are some of the top storylines to follow. Plus, Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss the position battles to watch over the next several weeks at State Farm Stadium.

Ep. 517 - Adding J.J. Watt to a group of talented pass rushers including Chandler Jones and Markus Golden should create problems for opposing offensive coordinators. Former Pro Bowl defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch joins Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to discuss the best way for the Cardinals to generate pressure on quarterbacks. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf talk about rookies who could make an immediate impact, Kyler Murray's leadership and the biggest training camp storylines.

Ep. 443 - It's often the least talked about, and more times than not, just simply overlooked. Special teams. That changes on today's show as Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki close out their position-by-position analysis leading into training camp. Matt Prater is the new kicker. He definitely should improve the Cardinals' record in one-score games. Plus, rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore is expected to give the team something it hasn't had in a long time, an effective return game.

With training camp only a couple of weeks away, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard delve into the Cards' defense as the it heads into the preseason. Sure, cornerback is always something to consider, and the spotlight will be on Byron Murphy, Robert Alford, Malcolm Butler and others. But what does J.J. Watt bring to that defensive line? Meanwhile, the Cardinals are going to be walking a fine line with the inexperienced Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons at inside linebacker. Meanwhile, Budda Baker is an all-pro at safety, but the Cards need Jalen Thompson back there too.

The Cardinals have a new-look running back room in 2021. Kenyan Drake has moved to Las Vegas and free agent James Conner joined the Big Red in the offseason. How will Kliff Kingsbury use both Chase Edmonds and Conner in the offense? Craig Grialou, Kyle Odegard and Bertrand Berry make their predictions. Plus, what is the biggest thing Kyler Murray needs to improve upon heading into his third NFL season?

Ep. 442 - No one expected it, and for some, it may still be hard to believe. J.J. Watt is an Arizona Cardinal. It was the first big move of the offseason and, we can say now, a sign of things to come in terms of how active the front office would be in trying to improve the team. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss what Watt's addition means both on and off the field. There's no question he'll be a positive influence, particularly on the young defensive linemen like Zach Allen, Leki Fotu and Rashard Lawrence.

Ep. 516 - In our third and final "Best of" Big Red Rage episode, Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley chat with linebackers coach Bill Davis, cornerbacks coach Greg Williams and running backs coach James Saxon. How will Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons work together in the middle of the defense? What does Malcom Butler bring to the defensive backfield? How will Chase Edmonds and James Conner be used at running back? Plus, a conversation about lofty expectations for Kyler Murray as he heads into his third NFL season.

Ep. 441 - There is no argument to be made. From top to bottom, the NFC West is expected to be the most competitive division and hardest to win in 2021. The Seahawks are perennial playoff contenders; the Rams have averaged double-digit wins over the past four seasons; and the 49ers are just two years removed from reaching the Super Bowl. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki preview the division with those who cover their teams: John Boyle (Seahawks), Stu Jackson (Rams), and Keiana Martin (49ers).

Ep. 4 - Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú hablan sobre las expectativas del equipo al inicio de la pre temporada Cuál es punto fuerte del equipo? Cuál es punto débil de la defensiva? Todos estamos listos para que comience la temporada regular.

With training camp only a couple of weeks away, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard delve into the Cards' offense as it heads into the preseason. Can Kyler Murray make more strides as a passer, and how will that impact what his legs do when the Cards have the ball? Plus, the idea of Chase Edmonds as RB1 (and how physical will this offense get?), A.J. Green's potential bounceback season, and an offensive line that looks very different with Rodney Hudson in the middle.
