Ep. 892 - There's no question Josh Sweat can get after opposing quarterbacks. It's why he was targeted in free agency and ultimately landed a sizable contract to leave the east coast for the desert southwest. But that's not all he can do, or will be asked to do with the Arizona Cardinals. Sweat is a three-down linebacker. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what that means within the defensive scheme, Sweat reuniting with Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rallis plus how Sweat is embracing his role as being the guy on defense. Also, what is the latest on injured outside linebacker BJ Ojulari and what wide receiver Greg Dortch said on Wednesday that had many taken aback, including Craig.

Ep. 891 - More points. Less turnovers. Of course, that's the easy answer. But what else might 'efficient' look like, and, by the way, that's the word Jonathan Gannon used when talking about the offense going into this upcoming season. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck have their own thoughts on what to expect from an offense that is running it back from a year ago, at least in terms of personnel. Also, on the eve of mandatory minicamp, what, and maybe better said, who do Craig and Dani want to see on the field? Will there be anything shown over the next three days that give hints as to what the 2025 Arizona Cardinals might look like both offensively and defensively? This is the final week of work before the start of training camp.

Ep. 890 - His individual numbers may not jump off the stat page, but Zaven Collins brings more than just numbers to the defense. He brings versatility. More importantly, he's earned the trust of both head coach Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis. They see value in Collins more so than perhaps fans and many in the media. Craig Grialou, back from vacation, and Darren Urban discuss Collins' importance to the team. Also, how often do Craig and Darren expect to see Josh Sweat on the field this season, especially given recent comments by Rallis? Finally, the guys shout-out Dennis Gardeck, who after seven seasons in Arizona is reportedly joining the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ep. 889 - The Cardinals will be back out on the practice field this week as Week Two of OTA's are set to begin. What do we want to see? What are we expecting to see? Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman give their thoughts. Plus, the two discuss the depth at offensive line and how the starting line might look come Week 1; what offensive coordinator Drew Petzing had to say about Kyler Murray's unscheduled runs; and how the Cardinals offense is poised to take the next step in 2025.

Ep. 888 - As OTAs continue to roll along for the Cardinals, the conversation surrounding the team's depth continues to be discussed. Zach Gershman and Darren Urban (yes, you read that correctly) talk about the latest on Cardinals Cover 2. With the arrival of Jacoby Brissett, what does that mean for Clayton Tune in the backup quarterback competition? Can Trey Benson take that sophomore season leap even while James Conner plays at a high level? Also, Zach and Darren share which player from the 2024 draft class they are most eager to see take a step forward.

Ep. 887 - The Cardinals are back on the field as Phase Three begins with the start of OTAs. Paul Calvisi, Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman fill the shoes of the vacationing Craig Grialou to discuss what stood out to them the most from the first practice; what a Year 1 to Year 2 jump can look like for Darius Robinson; the new look defensive line as a whole; who will challenge for the starting right guard position; Drew Petzing's thoughts on the continuity of his offense; and Paul learns what epsom salts are.

Ep. 886 - It's called Phase 3, when teams can line up offense against defense. Still no contact but practice looks more like football. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck preview the start of organized team activities, better known as OTAs for short. How much do we see of the newcomers, whether that's Josh Sweat or Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson? What about those players who we didn't see a lot of in 2024 like BJ Ojulari, Justin Jones and Bilal Nichols? Do we get an idea of who the team likes at right guard? Is there a wide receiver who emerges? Also, Craig and Dani discuss the Cardinals and Broncos holding a single joint practice ahead of their preseason game in Denver and the latest from the Spring League Meeting.

Ep. 885 - A new look Marvin Harrison Jr. met the media on Monday. He "added some muscle" he told reporters. And there was a very specific reason why. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what Harrison had to say; why it was important for him to get stronger, how he's treating his first full offseason, what a successful Year 2 looks like for him, and in Year 2 it'll be good for him to see his No. 18 jersey in the stands. Also, some notes on the just released schedule, specifically the end of the schedule when compared to the rest of the NFC West and what NFL owners are discussing, perhaps even deciding, at the Spring League Meeting later this week in Minnesota.
