Ep. 1022 - It's early in his tenure as head coach, but already Mike LaFleur has made it known what he feels is the best way to evaluate players. In pads, playing 11-on-11. In other words, his words, "real football." For the second straight day at training camp, the Cardinals practiced in full pads. Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez discuss what they saw, in-between all the laundry on the field. Yeah, a lot of flags thrown by the officials, due to penalties on both sides of the ball. Jeremiyah Love continues to impress - he was the first name Jesus mentioned; Marvin Harrison Jr. bounced back from a difficult practice the day before; and Carson Beck may have had his best of work, closing with a touchdown pass to Bryson Green who made a diving catch in the end zone to finish a successful 2-minute drill.

Ep. 1021 - It looked a little more like football on Tuesday. For the first time at Cardinals training camp, the pads were put on - no more passing camp as head coach Mike LaFleur described the work done in the offseason and first handful of days at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they saw, from Budda Baker setting the tone early, barking at the offense to Jeremiyah Love and Trey Benson, in his first 11-on-11 work of camp, showing off their speed, footwork, and physicality. Oh, and a practice wouldn't be complete without a diving catch by Michael Wilson on a great deep ball from Jacoby Brissett, who took over first-team duties at quarterback. Gardner Minshew is now with the 2s followed by Carson Beck and Kedon Slovis.

Ep. 1020 - Let's be honest: Not much is expected from the Arizona Cardinals in 2026. That seems to be the consensus, both locally and nationally - but certainly not shared by those players in the locker room. Still, when looking at the roster, it's hard not to notice the talent, especially on offense. Playmakers like Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., and now Jeremiyah Love have many talking about the potential and the possibility of what it may look like under the direction and guidance of new head coach Mike LaFleur. Recently, NFL Network reporter Omar Ruiz visited Cardinals training camp. He and Craig Grialou chatted it up about the offense, what needs to happen defensively if the team hopes to surprise, and playing in what is a juggernaut of a division in the NFC West.

Ep. 1019 - Sunday marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The Cardinals and Jacoby Brissett reached agreement on a new contract. Later, Brissett, much to the happiness of his teammates, participated in his first 11-on-11 work of training camp. If things continue to progress, "the plan," according to head coach Mike LaFleur is for Brissett to start Week 1 at the Los Angeles Chargers. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react to the news and what both Brissett and LaFleur had to say. Then, Craig and Zach turn their attention to what happened during the second open practice, which saw the defense win early - Walter Nolen III looks really good, by the way - before the offense, thanks to some big-time catches by Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr., finished on a high note.

Ep. 1018 - Day 2 of Cardinals training camp and the first day open to fans; that always brings a little more excitement. The headline, of course, is quarterback. Yes, Jacoby Brissett is practicing, but how much is he participating? And when Brissett is not under center, who is and with which unit? Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck talk about what they saw from the quarterbacks as well as the rotation at running back. Also, Craig and Dani highlight some of the top plays made by players such as Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Max Melton, who really flashed on Friday. There's also discussion on how well BJ Ojulari has looked, why Josh Sweat is starting camp on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) and Mike LaFleur's philosophy on fighting.

Ep. 1017 - This is the week when it all begins. This is the starting point. Training camp. And for the Arizona Cardinals, it's the first under new head coach Mike LaFleur. He and the rest of the team report on Wednesday with the first practice on Thursday and the first open practice on Friday. (Go to azcardinals.com for all the details.) So, what do we expect? What players are we excited to see, what questions need to be answered? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the top storylines plus the guys welcome a new voice to the show and to the team. Bird Gang, say "Hello" to Jesus Quinonez. He's the new Spanish play-by-play announcer and reporter. Get to know Jesus, get to know all things training camp ahead of training camp.

Ep. 1016 - It's said all the time: Build through the trenches. And if one were to look back at the past drafts of Monti Ossenfort since his time as Cardinals GM, then that is exactly what has been the goal. The trend continued this year with the selection of guard Chase Bisontis out of Texas A&M in the second round and tackle Jayden Williams out of Mississippi in the seventh round. Craig Grialou introduces both players before giving way to Paul Calvisi, who recently caught up with each of them individually. Hear Bisontis discuss his confidence having played in the SEC; hear Williams discuss his athleticism; and hear both discuss their time in college with Walter Nolen, who earned significantly praise from each.

Ep. 1015 - No position has generated more discussion this offseason than quarterback, and few players have been at the center of it more than the Cardinals third-round pick, Carson Beck. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss both Beck the person, whose confidence and humility have stood out in their early interactions with the former Georgia and Miami quarterback, and Beck the player, whose 55-game college career suggests he won't be fazed by the NFL stage. Then, hear from Beck himself as he joins Paul Calvisi to talk about his football journey, college career, and expectations heading into his rookie season in Arizona.
