Hard Knocks In Season Arizona Cardinals

David Blough executes 'Joe Montana,' Hopkins' last words of season

Ep. 636 - Tears were shed in the season finale. A lot of tears. And many by J.J. Watt. Cameras captured a very emotional Watt, first at Saturday night's team meeting and then again Sunday afternoon as he exited the field for the last time in his career to chants of "J.J. Watt, J.J. Watt" by the fans at Levi's Stadium. And if Week 18 was A.J. Green's final game, then he, too, went out on a high note; albeit a bit more understated. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck react to Episode 9, which did include Kliff Kingsbury's final message to his coaching staff. Plus, there is still football being played. Grialou and Sureck look ahead to Super Wild Card Weekend, which includes a third meeting between NFC West rivals.

Blough gets more time in the Hard Knocks spotlight

Ep. 633 - As we've seen throughout the season, and even last season, no one is off limits for J.J. Watt when it comes to good-natured ribbing. His latest "victim" is Zaven Collins. The Watt-Collins relationship was among the episode's highlights. In addition, the cameras caught a very self-critical Collins talking about his second season in the league as well as David Blough's calm demeanor both prior to and after the game in Atlanta. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck talk about what stood out to them in an episode that should have everyone smiling despite last week's outcome. Plus, there is plenty of quarterback news to discuss. Kyler Murray, Colt McCoy and David Blough are all in the headlines.

Ep. 630 - Family and the holidays go hand-in-hand. Family, the holidays and a Cardinals win do not, however; at least not this season. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck review the latest 'Hard Knocks' episode which centered around James Conner and Antonio Hamilton spending Christmas Day with their families before playing on Christmas Night. Trace McSorley, making his first career start, also had his entire family at the game; which, again, ended in defeat. Also, big news on Wednesday: Colt McCoy is back as the starter and J.J. Watt talked retirement; why now is the "right time" for him to call it a career after this season.

Ep. 627 - Once again, the stories told during the week did not get the proper Hollywood happy ending. From Colt McCoy spending time with his family and Trey McBride reuniting with his own family in Denver to Vance Joseph returning to Denver where he was the head coach of the Broncos for two seasons. None of those storylines finished with the Cardinals winning on Sunday. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck react to Episode 6, which also saw Leki Fotu making waffles—from scratch—in the defensive line room. In other news from Wednesday, it is official. Trace McSorley will make his first career start on Sunday. Now the question is how many healthy bodies will he have around him?

Hopkins draws motivation from his blind mother

Ep. 624 - Not all stories have a happy ending. With his Mom in attendance and playing against a head coach he holds in high regard, DeAndre Hopkins was unable to deliver. Even worse, he took the blame for the Monday Night Football loss to Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss Episode 5, which also caught Kyler Murray and J.J. Watt playing the role of coach to younger players, a peek inside Kliff Kingsbury's office as well as an early morning drive to work with the head coach. Right off the top, though, reaction to the news general manager Steve Keim is taking a health-related leave of absence from the team.

Ep. 621 - Things don't always go as planned. Mistakes happen. And when a player makes mistakes on the football field, everyone can see them. That was the case for Isaiah Simmons earlier this season. He addressed his benching after Week 1, something that really stood out to both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck in the latest Hard Knocks In Season episode. Antonio Hamilton, too, had a not-so-good moment caught on film. And, yes, there were several not-so-good moments captured during the loss to the Chargers. Plus, as the team heads into its bye week, it is a good time for Grialou and Sureck to shout-out a pair of 30-year-olds who are not acting, or perhaps better said, playing their age.

Ep. 618 - OK, so forget the game. (Not really, but at least for now.) The Cardinals' trip to Mexico City is one that many will remember the rest of their lives. And maybe no one more so than Will Hernandez. His experience was the highlight of Episode 3 for both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck. They also enjoyed seeing Antonio Hamilton at his home with his wife and kids as Hamilton detailed his accident in the kitchen prior to the season. The game itself? It is what it is. The question now is how do the Cardinals respond after losing 38-10 to the San Francisco 49ers? The good news is that it appears Kyler Murray will play this week. Maybe even Hollywood Brown. It is a desperate team right now.

Ep. 616 - Things are always better after a win, right? That includes watching episodes of "Hard Knocks." Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck reveal their biggest takeaways from Episode 2, one that highlighted many of the fathers on the team be it the general manager, an assistant coach or player. And who knew Kelvin Beachum liked his popcorn and trash-talk? Also, will it be Kyler Murray or Colt McCoy starting at quarterback this week? It's a question without an answer at the moment. Plus, the latest on Hollywood Brown's upcoming return.

Ep. 613 - The season premiere did not disappoint. Fans got a peek inside Kliff Kingsbury's famous home in Paradise Valley. They eavesdropped on a dinner conversation between DeAndre Hopkins and Isaiah Simmons. Plus, Budda Baker may be seeing his younger sister a lot more in the future as she considers enrolling at Arizona State University. Much of the focus, though, centered on the Cardinals' Week 9 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Reaction from Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck, who also discuss Wednesday's injury report which once again was star-studded; and that's never good.
