Ep. 968 - Change is inevitable in the NFL. And the Arizona Cardinals wasted no time in making the first of what his expected to be several changes following a 3-14 season. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi react to the firing of head coach Jonathan Gannon. The two then discuss what owner Michael Bidwill and GM Monti Ossenfort had to say. The theme of their 23-minute press conference was a pretty simple one: wins and losses matter; and the Cardinals didn't win enough games in the three seasons under Gannon. So, now what? What's the next step in the search for a new coach and what might the decision-makers be looking for in a new man in charge. Finally, it is a Monday, and for one last Monday, Paul - with some assistance from Craig - names his Angry Bird Award winner.

Ep. 967 - The number 1,000 carries a lot of significance, especially in the NFL. It's a number that helps define whether a season was a success or not among skill position players, like wide receivers. On Sunday, Michael Wilson needs 93 receiving yards to hit the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. It would, as he said this week, be a "heck of an achievement" considering how the season started. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman talk about Wilson's year, his recent run of success and then dive into the matchup against the L.A. Rams; it's the last opportunity for a lot of players to make one last impression. Plus, for one final time, Craig and Zach head into enemy territory. They speak with Stu Jackson, senior staff writer for therams.com.

Ep. 966 - A true pro. You hear that said a lot about certain players. And it most certainly fits when you talk about Calais Campbell. Even more so, maybe. On this last day of 2025, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck talk about the impact Campbell has made both on and off the field and whether or not there might be a 19th season in his future. Other topics include why the real battle on Sunday in L.A. is between Trey McBride and Puka Nacua; Paris Johnson Jr., who received this year's Good Guy Award, believes the team is headed in the right direction plus injury updates on Marvin Harrison Jr., Walter Nolen III, and Garrett Williams; the latter two of whom underwent successful surgery.

Ep. 965 - For the second time in three games, Trey McBride set three different single-season records. Unfortunately, and it's happened too often this season, McBride wasn't able to fully enjoy his accomplishments. He's about winning games more than anything, and the Cardinals just haven't won enough games in 2025. The latest defeat came Sunday in Cincinnati, 37-14. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi, after a discussion on McBride and a quick word on the season-finale at the Rams, detail what they saw; the offense's inability to stay on the field, the defense's inability to get off the field. Plus, what did Cody Simon, who earned Paul's Angry Bird Award, Will Johnson and Denzel Burke show that may carry over to next season?

Ep. 964 - In the spirit of Bill Belichick circa 2014, the Arizona Cardinals are on to Cincinnati this week. They play the Bengals, who are coming off maybe their best win of the season. The Cardinals, meanwhile, hope Sunday is the day they put an end to a season-long seven-game losing streak. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman break down the matchup, focus on the challenge Will Johnson and Denzel Burke face trying to slow down the Bengals' two top wide receivers in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, plus go over who will and who will not play in Week 18. Also, the guys head into enemy territory. Geoff Hobson joins the show. He's the senior writer for Bengals.com. It's the Cardinals first trip to Cincinnati since 2019.

Ep. 963 - If you listen to either head coach Jonathan Gannon or defensive coordinator Nick Rallis, they both have been pleased with the season-long play of Darius Robinson. The stats, though, haven't always been there. Until Sunday. On Sunday, Robinson had arguably his best game of his career. Craig Grialou and Darren Urban - yes, we got @Cardschatter on the show - discuss what they saw, the impact Robinson made, and what that may mean for Robinson heading into next season, especially given the uncertain status of Walter Nolen III. Also, Craig and Darren talk about the challenge this week for cornerbacks Will Johnson and Denzel Burke, provide an update on Budda Baker, and explain maybe why the Cardinals have two kickers on the active roster.

Ep. 962 - A much better start. A much better run game. But not a much better result. On Sunday, the Cardinals lost their home finale and lost more players to injury. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what they saw during the 26-19 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. There were some good moments, including scores on the first four offensive possessions, which was a first this season. And then there were some not-so-good moments, specifically Garrett Williams and Walter Nolen III carted off the field with what appeared to be devastating injuries. Through it all, the Cardinals battled and gave themselves a chance to win in the end, but just not enough plays were made to stop what is now a seven-game losing streak.

Ep. 961 - Sunday marks the end of the 20th season of Arizona Cardinals football at State Farm Stadium. The Cardinals won their first home game back in Week 2. Can they win their last home game here in Week 16? Standing in the way: the Atlanta Falcons. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman break down the matchup on Sunday, take a look at the injury report - there's both good news and not-so-good news - and, of course, head into enemy territory. The great D. Orlando Ledbetter joins the show. He's the long time Falcons beat writer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Falcons are flying high after last week's win at Tampa. Here's hoping they get grounded this week.
