Watt. Plus, some takeaways from organized team activities along with a preview of Kyler Murray's third season as Cardinals quarterback.

Ep. 509 - When you want to know about a linebacker, you ask a fellow linebacker.

What kind of impact can speedy receiver Rondale Moore make in his rookie year?

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.

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?

As the Cardinals work to get the roster down to the regular-season limit, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Felipe Corral Jr. have plenty to chat about, especially Malcolm Butler's surprising move to the Retired list, rookie cornerback Marco Wilson's impressive showing so far, the odd U-turn plane trip to New Orleans, Chris Streveler making the team as a third quarterback, Antoine Wesley's push to a roster spot, their choices for both the new and holdover players they are most excited to see (and that's all, Paul), what Kliff Kingsbury's concerns might be heading into the season, and, oh yeah, it's Fitz's birthday.

Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban return to part of a three-man pod as Felipe Corral Jr. joined to discuss all the relevant topics from Cards Camp – not the least of which being how much preseason matters, and to whom. The guys also chat about the improvements of Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons, where the offensive line stands (and who makes sense as backup tackle), J.J. Watt's return, the battle of Andy Isabella and KeeSean Johnson for roster spots (and if Antoine Wesley or Greg Dortch are in the conversation), those NFL 100 votes, and Fitz's lack of urge.

The Cardinals have to be happy with the way their young players – Zaven Collins, Rondale Moore, Marco Wilson, Eno Benjamin – played in the preseason opener, and it gives Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban lots to talk about. So there is discussion about Moore's impact on the offense (and its scheme), Collins' mental state, and Benjamin's push to No. 3 running back, as well as the wide receiver room where Andy Isabella is still absent and Greg Dortch makes plays, a defensive line that still has many missing bodies, Chris Streveler's chances for the 53, and whether Kyler Murray might play in the preseason.

The Cardinals have their first game of the preseason coming, and Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban are just happy to know the friendship of Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins is blooming, because that can only help the defense. What doesn't help the defense is the dinged-up defensive line, another of the discussion points, as well as the running back depth chart, Rodney Hudson's impact on the offensive line, the battle at right guard, Budda Baker's newfound vocal ways, and do either Collins or Rondale Moore make a run at rookie of the year awards.

Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban run the two-man game after a week at State Farm Stadium. The Cardinals are into padded work, and are seeing all kinds of high-end visitors as they go through the longest week of camp. Up for discussion are the solid play from receivers A.J. Green and Rondale Moore, some interesting looks at linebacker with Zaven Collins, Isaiah Simmons and Jordan Hicks, the return of Corey Peters, continued Kyler maturity, and a Fitz job offer.

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.

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.

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.

With Paul Calvisi on vacation, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard line up a very special podcast with a What If edition. Among the topics: What if Kyler finds that consistency in the intermediate passing game? What if every team stays healthy in the NFC West? What if Chandler Jones returns to 2019 form? What if James Conner has more rushing yards than Chase Edmonds? What if the Cardinals start 5-2 again? And, of course, what if Larry Fitzgerald plays in regular-season games this year?

With Kyle Odegard vacationing – or is he? – Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban have an intimate discussion on Kyler Murray's place in Steve Keim's headspace, what it would take to win the NFC West, DeAndre Hopkins' rank among NFL players, what Chandler Jones might be thinking, the ability to wear alternate helmets, a Scouting combine on the move, and just how difficult it might be for Larry Fitzgerald to end his playing career (whenever it might happen).

Vacations are coming, but for now, the power trio of Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard remain in place to talk about the Hail Murray's ESPY chances, Dennis Gardeck's rehab, how the defense might (should?) be better than the offense, the left tackles in the NFC West, this week's Fitz theory, Rondale Moore's potential and A.J. Green's impact. And oh yeah, Paul thinks the Cards might have a Super Bowl preview to play in the regular season.

No, Kyle Odegard's middle name isn't Disagree (or Sebastian), but that doesn't stop Paul Calvisi or Darren Urban from going after Kyle's take on Kyler Murray's need to run the football. Plus, it's tough not to thinking about the Titans in Week 1 (yes, D-Hop, Julio is a Titan for a second-rounder), Murray's baseball dreams, the hopes for A.J. Green and Robert Alford, leaning on young inside linebackers, Zach Allen's needed big year, and Fitz's waiting game (and middle name.)

After some time off, Darren Urban returns just in time for minicamp, so Paul Calvisi and Kyle Odegard bring him back in the fold to talk about the lone time the (nearly) full roster will work in the offseason and what they noticed, the absence of Chandler Jones as Jones goes into the last year of his contract, the decisions that will have to be made at cornerback, Eno in the backfield (and maybe J.J. Watt?), bandwagoning with the Cards, what players should be talked about more, and even seeing Fitz's face (on the freeway, but still.)

After a completely virtual offseason in 2020, the Cardinals returned to the field for organized team activities this week. Paul Calvisi and Kyle Odegard discussed J.J. Watt, Kyler Murray and more while Darren Urban took advantage of the OTA session's voluntary nature and chose a vacation. Plus, a breakdown of Budda Baker's beef with Pro Football Focus, the tight end rumor mill and much more.

Finally face-to-face, there is plenty for Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard to talk about, not the least of which is Chase Edmonds' willingness to "run through a damn wall" for his starting running back opportunity. But there's so much more – more Fitz speculation, the big year facing Christian Kirk (again), how much Rondale Moore was needed, Rodney Hudson as the best center in the NFL, Kyler Murray throwing to A.J. Green and how good Green can be, and oh yeah, some tattoo chatter.

In the wake of rookie minicamp and offseason on-field work for the first time since 2019, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard discuss Zaven Collins' doppelgänger and his immediate placement into the starting lineup; how Collins might look alongside fellow tree Isaiah Simmons; the benefit Collins gets with on-field work (and what Simmons might've lost last offseason); the cornerback room; Rondale Moore's drive to play big; how roster building might signal an offensive direction, Larry Fitzgerald's locker, and what are the keys for a playoff berth.

Yes, the 2021 schedule is here. Why wouldn't Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Odegard want to have some deep discussions about whether the Cardinals have enough primetime games, opening at Tennessee (and what it means for the young ILB tandem of Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons), dealing with weather like the heat in Jacksonville and the cold of Chicago, the most intriguing game on the schedule, Patrick Peterson's return, the return of fans, potentially playing rookie QBs and the best road trips available for fans.

No, Tim Tebow hasn't signed with the Cardinals, but that doesn't mean the discussion doesn't go all over the place with Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Kyle Oedgard. There are single-digit jerseys on players, a tight end with a potential nickname of Psycho, what it will mean for the rookies to actually have some on-field and in-person time during rookie minicamp, Tay Gowan's confidence, Kyler Murray's quiet offseason before a crucial third year, Larry Fitzgerald's limbo, and DeAndre Hopkins' charitable foray into the breakfast cereal market.

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.

Ep. 7 - Actor James Roday Rodriguez (Psych, A Million Little Things) visits with The Dave Pasch Podcast to preview his beloved Tennessee Titans and their season-opening matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Roday also recalls where he was during the Music City Miracle, how he was influenced by Val Kilmer and which moments from the hit TV show Psych stand out as his favorites.

Ep. 6 - Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill joins The Dave Pasch Podcast to discuss his expectations for the 2021 season, the state of the organization and NFL, his love of aviation and how being a pilot of both planes and helicopters helps the team. Plus, Bidwill goes down memory lane to talk about his days as a ball boy, his all-time favorite Cardinals players, his time as a federal prosecutor and what it was like to work alongside his father, Bill Bidwill.

Ep. 5 - ESPN Monday Night Football announcers Steve Levy and Brian Griese join The Dave Pasch Podcast to talk about the challenges of building chemistry in the broadcast booth during a pandemic, the infusion of leadership in the Cardinals locker room, the outlook for quarterback Kyler Murray, Tom Brady's greatness and the future of Jaguars rookie QB Trevor Lawrence. Plus, Griese, Levy and Pasch highlight some unique broadcast booth behaviors displayed by themselves and their former broadcast partners.

Ep. 4 - ESPN's Mina Kimes joins The Dave Pasch Podcast to detail her unique journey from investigative journalist to groundbreaking NFL analyst. The Mesquite High School graduate also recalls her time living in Arizona, previews the NFC West and gives her opinion on what to expect from Kyler Murray and the 2021 Arizona Cardinals.

Ep. 3 - Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury joins The Dave Pasch Podcast to discuss his Texas roots, growing up the son of a coach, his time with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, coaching high-profile quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel and getting fired by his alma mater, Texas Tech. Plus, Kingsbury talks about the outlook for Kyler Murray heading into his third season as Cardinals QB and the infusion of leadership coming from offseason acquisitions like defensive lineman J.J. Watt, wide receiver A.J. Green and center Rodney Hudson.

Ep. 2 - All Pro safety Budda Baker joins The Dave Pasch Podcast to preview the 2021 Arizona Cardinals season and much more. Baker talks about the need to hold his teammates more accountable this year and why Kyler Murray is already a better player than he was in 2020. Also, we learn about Baker's upbringing, what helped him decide to play at the University of Washington, why he will do anything to be present for the birth of his daughter in December, how using American Sign Language has opened doors to new friendships and the one pre-draft question an NFL team asked that made him very uncomfortable.

Ep. 1 - Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner joins the debut episode of The Dave Pasch Podcast to talk about a variety of subjects including Warner's playing days in the NFL, particularly with the Arizona Cardinals, and their amazing run to Super Bowl XLIII. Kurt also talks about his proudest moment as an NFL star, his long-standing friendship with Larry Fitzgerald, and whether or not he believes Fitz has played his last football game. Other topics include Warner's upcoming movie, "American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story" starring Zachary Levi ("Shazam!", "Chuck"), his broadcasting career with NFL Network, as well as what a former President of the United States once said to him that he will never forget.

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.

You may think you know the whole story, but you don't. Cardinals Folktales gives new life to 11 unbelievably true tales in team history through the personal recollections of the people who were there for each incredible moment. The series premieres on September 8.

Ep. 469 - You never apologize for winning in the National Football League. So, while it was far from perfect on Sunday, the Cardinals will take it. They are 2-0 for the second straight season. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss the good and the bad from the 34-33 victory over the Vikings. For the second straight week the offense reached the 400-yard, 30-point mark; while defensively, it was a tale of two halves. And, yes, the Cardinals caught some breaks along the way.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Ep. 461 - Following a four-day break, the Cardinals returned to the practice field with every player present and accounted for, including Robert Alford and Justin Pugh who were just recently activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Seeing an entire 53-man roster practicing is great news ahead of Week 1. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki also discuss the 17 players signed to the practice squad, focusing on the new faces at cornerback and wide receiver. Plus, is Rondale Moore going to be featured in the return game this season?

Ep. 460 - Time doesn't stop. You can't hit pause in life. In other words, if Malcolm Butler is not going to be on the field this season, or ever again, then the Cardinals need to figure out how to move on without him. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss the need to add another veteran, the emergence of rookie Marco Wilson and the possibility that Isaiah Simmons may see more playing time than expected at the cornerback position; the latter of which was Jurecki's idea. Also, now that the 53-man roster is set—for now—what stands out?

Ep. 459 - Teams must reduce their rosters to a maximum of 53 players by Tuesday afternoon. How that happens can be done in a number of different ways. And even after that magic number of 53 has been reached, there may still be changes ahead of Week 1. In other words, don't get too comfortable. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss some of the more difficult decisions ahead. Plus, the guys review where the four Cardinals players—Budda Baker, DeAndre Hopkins, Kyler Murray and J.J. Watt—landed on this year's NFL Top-100 list.

Ep. 458 - For those hoping to see Kyler Murray play some more here in the preseason, you're out of luck. Murray won't play in Saturday's game at New Orleans. And he is not expected to be the only starter who will watch from the sidelines. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss what they hope to see in the preseason finale. Grialou has his own wish list for which players he hopes are in uniform. Both, though, agree that the one player everyone should keep an eye on is Andy Isabella.

Ep. 457 - Money talks and Andy Lee was willing to listen. In a monetary transaction this week, Rondale Moore purchased the No. 4 jersey from Lee, who will now wear No. 14. How much money exchanged hands between the two parties isn't known though Kingsbury said Moore "was very happy to get the number." Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki also discuss the forthcoming end to training camp. What did they learn? What questions do they still have after four-plus weeks of practice at State Farm Stadium?

Ep. 456 - Well, it was good to see No. 99 practicing on Monday. That's right, J.J. Watt is back. He participated in his first training camp practice. He wasn't alone. Dennis Gardeck was also activated off the physically unable to perform list and Andy Isabella was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. It was an eventful way to begin the week. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss all of the above plus they go over the good, the bad and the ugly from last Friday's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, there was plenty to talk about.

Ep. 455 - It's the question every head coach faces in the preseason: How long do you play the starters? Well, for the second straight week, Kliff Kingsbury wasn't very definitive. "You'll have to tune in," he said. OK, we will. In the meantime, Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss who they hope to see on the field against the Chiefs on Friday. Tops on their list is Kyler Murray, even if it's for only one series. Also, can the players who performed well last week do it again?

Ep. 454 - Job No. 1 of a wide receiver is to catch the ball. Tight ends are mainly asked to block. Each position group, however, must be able to both catch and block when needed. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss the value of a blocking receiver in the run game—we needed a camera on Jurecki during his analysis—and a sure-handed tight end in the pass game. Also, there may be some coaching in DeAndre Hopkins' future. Here in training camp, he's pulled aside both Marco Wilson and Tay Gowan to offer advice on how they can improve as cornerbacks.

Ep. 453 - It did not take long for first-round draft pick Zaven Collins to flash in his first NFL action. In fact, it was the second play of the game. Collins wasn't the only rookie to make a good first impression. The entire draft class stood out including receiver Rondale Moore. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki look back at Friday's preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Also, the guys discuss the performance of Eno Benjamin. It was good to see the former Arizona State Sun Devil make the most of his opportunities, both on offense and special teams.

Ep. 452 - With the preseason opener coming up on Friday, Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss what they want to see and, maybe more importantly, who they want to see in action. The starters probably won't play much, so there will be plenty of opportunity for the younger guys on the depth chart to, as they say, get exposure rather than get exposed. Remember, there are 31 other teams players are auditioning for other than the Cardinals.
