Ep. 468 - For the first time in two years the Cardinals will play in front of a sold-out State Farm Stadium. It's Week 2, the home opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki break down the matchup with Jurecki giving fans his three keys to victory along with the X-factor. The Cardinals will be looking to go 2-0 for the second straight season. Also, what's on tap for the rest of the NFC West? Two of the other three teams in the division are on road coming up on Sunday.

Ep. 525 - The Cardinals defense started fast and finished strong in their 38-13 win over the Tennessee Titans. One of the reasons for the success on defense was the play of Isaiah Simmons. The second-year linebacker joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about his strong season debut, the incredible performance by Chandler Jones and what it was like to face Titans running back Derrick Henry. Plus, the guys discuss the upcoming challenge the Cardinals will face in Sunday's home opener against the Vikings at State Farm Stadium.

Ep. 467 – First Derrick Henry, now Dalvin Cook. The former was a non-factor in Week 1. So what does Vance Joseph have in store for the latter? Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki look at the matchup against Cook and the rest of the Vikings offense, which Joseph said is "very similar" to the Titans. It's going to be another challenge for the front seven and a secondary that answered a lot of questions in the season opener. Also, Kyler Murray may not have won NFC Offensive Player of the Week, but he did earn NVP honors. Don't worry, the guys explain.

Ep. 10 - Los Cardenales comenzaron la temporada aplastando a los Titans y ahora se preparan para su debut en casa ante los Vikings que vienen con un viejo conocido, Patrick Peterson. Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú analizan cuidadosamente la electrizante actuación de Chandler Jones. Su invitado especial, Pablo Viruega de ESPN Deportes, presentará un análisis exacto del siguiente rival de Arizona y también nos contará algunas anécdotas que vivió con Rolando Cantú hace unos años en Monterrey, México.

Ep. 466 - It would've been a big surprise if Chandler Jones wasn't named NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Well deserved, obviously. But what about Kyler Murray? Shouldn't he have been named the conference's offensive player of the week? He certainly had a good case. More important than the stats, though, it's what Murray showed in his continuing development as a quarterback that stood out to both Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki. Now, the onus is on Murray and the offense to do it again this week against the Vikings.

Ep. 8 - NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson joins Dave Pasch to provide a behind-the-scenes look at his unique NFL Network gig which includes seven straight hours of broadcasting on each NFL Sunday. Hanson also talks about Kyler Murray's bright future as quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals and what caught his eye during the opening week of NFL action. Hanson recalls his days playing football at Syracuse University, working as a missionary and his love for dangerous adventures like diving with great white sharks.

After a big win against the Titans and a reunion game coming with Patrick Peterson and the Vikings, the Cardinals have a lot going on, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Felipe Corral Jr. have plenty to discuss: A defense led by Chandler Jones' electric performance, J.J. Watt's role and Vance Joseph's magnificent gameplan; Kliff Kingsbury's good first game; Kyler Murray holding teammates accountable; Paul's poor attempt at made-up country song names; Christian Kirk's scorching start; Jordan Hicks' workload and Isaiah Simmons' big step; and the reception (that should be) awaiting P2.

The Cardinals flew into Nashville on Sunday and took care business by beating the Titans 38-13. Craig Giralou, Mike Jurecki and Drew Stanton discuss the massive day for Chandler Jones and the defense, Kyler Murray and the offense scoring five touchdowns and young players like Isaiah Simmons who made their mark in the win. Plus, Stanton talks about what the Cardinals can expect from Mike Zimmer and the Vikings defense this weekend during the home opener at State Farm Stadium.

Ep. 465 - Well, that was impressive. Maybe the most complete performance under head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who after the 38-13 win at Tennessee told the team in the locker room "everybody is getting a game ball." Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss all that went right in Week 1, from Chandler Jones' career-high five sacks to Kyler Murray accounting for five touchdowns. Again, impressive.

Ep. 464 - The anticipation for the start of the regular season is always high. Even more so, perhaps, this season. It's Year 3 for Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray. There are new faces on offense—A.J. Green, Rodney Hudson and James Conner—while the defense added J.J. Watt and welcomes back a healthy Chandler Jones. Plus, don't forget about new kicker Matt Prater. Is it enough though? We begin to find out Sunday in Nashville. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss the matchup against the Titans, focusing on what the Cardinals must do to start the season 1-0.

Ep. 524 - Running back James Conner is set to make his Cardinals debut on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Conner joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about his role in the offense, working with Chase Edmonds, reuniting with running backs coach James Saxon, facing the Titans defense and more. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf discuss what it will take to slow Titans running back Derrick Henry and the powerful Titans offense.

Ep. 463 - Stopping the run is always the defense's goal, and this week is no exception. Of course, that's easier said than done especially when Derrick Henry is running the football. So what will the Cardinals do, or attempt to do, to stop or slow down the game's best running back? Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki offer some ideas and discuss what defensive coordinator and J.J. Watt had to say about the challenge. First though, might No. 24—the number Adrian Wilson made famous—be back in play, as early as this Sunday?

Ep. 9 - Comienza la temporada 2021 de la NFL. Nuestro analistas, Luis Hernández y Rolando Cantú hablan sobre el primer rival de los Cardenales en la semana 1...Los Tennessee Titans. Estará listo el novato Zaven Collins para el reto? Además reciben a su primer invitado, Mauricio Gutiérrez, quién es un mega fan de Titans y el mero mero de Fantasy Football.

Ep. 1 - Paul Calvisi tells the incredible story of how one longtime Cardinals employee managed to save Pat Tillman's final locker from destruction during 2015 renovations. Find out where the locker is now, why it serves as inspiration to his former teammates and what Tillman's legacy means to the people who knew him.

Real football has arrived, and thank goodness for that. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Felipe Corral Jr. have plenty to discuss, like the mammoth task of dealing with Derrick Henry, what comes out of the Zaven Collins Experience (and how important Jordan Hicks will be), the somewhat hidden storyline of the Cardinals' running backs, Kliff Kingsbury's evolution from last year, the gauntlet that is the NFC West, Covid's impact on the season, and Paul asks: Should Fitz play?

Ep. 462 - It's been talked about a lot: the expectations for Kyler Murray in this his third season as starting quarterback. And make no mistake, the expectations are high. This needs to be the year where Murray takes the next step to stardom. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki begin to look at what awaits Murray and the Cardinals offense this week in Tennessee. Also, the guys discuss which players were named team captains plus what is and what isn't real when reading the Week 1 depth chart because, of course, it is all unofficial.
