Ep. 522 - Eno Benjamin joined Paul Calvisi and Dave Pasch to talk about his comfort level heading into his second NFL season, who he looked up to as a young football player in the Dallas area and what he needs to show to earn a roster spot. Plus, Calvisi and Ron Wolfley discuss the decision to sit Kyler Murray at New Orleans, the progress of linebackers Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons and what to expect when watching the preseason finale against the Saints on Saturday.

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.

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. 521 - Wide receiver Christian Kirk joined Paul Calvisi and Dave Pasch to talk about what he wants to improve upon, how Kyler Murray looks in training camp and his first impressions of rookies Rondale Moore and Marco Wilson. Plus, Calvisi and Ron Wolfley discuss the importance of backup QB Colt McCoy, running back Eno Benjamin's big day against Dallas and how linebacker Zaven Collins fared in his first NFL action.

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?

After spending all of 2020 on the inactive list, running back Eno Benjamin finally suited up for the Cardinals during last week's preseason opener against the Cowboys. Benjamin joined Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Kyle Vanden Bosch to talk about his productive debut, the importance of special teams and his fight for a roster spot. Plus, discussions about rookies Zaven Collins, Marco Wilson and Rondale Moore who all impressed during their NFL debuts.

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.

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.
