Ep. 1038 - Well, it was competitive until it wasn't. So, what happened? Great question. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck do their best to try and explain how well the Cardinals played in the first half compared to how well the Cardinals didn't play in the second half. And it was all three phases; offense, defense and special teams each came up short in the home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, 31-7. Also, Craig and Dani have the conversation that many are having post-Sunday: what's up with Marvin Harrison Jr.? Is it the opposing defense, is it the offensive scheme, or is it on the player? Harrison has just one catch through two games.

Ep. 1037 - The Cardinals are one day closer to their home opener against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Zach Gershman and Darren Urban preview the matchup between these two division rivals, discussing Jeremiyah Love's impressive NFL debut, the offensive line competition at right guard, and how the Cardinals can handle Seattle's elite defense. Plus, Darren and Zach go behind enemy lines with Seahawks beat reporter Andrew Destin of The Athletic to discuss Drew Lock stepping in at quarterback, the impact of Jaxson Smith-Njigba, Jadarian Price's role, and the mindset of a Seattle team looking to defend its title. The guys also identify the keys to stopping JSN, avoiding turnovers, and ending Seattle's nine-game winning streak over Arizona.

Ep. 1036 - After a thrilling season-opening win, the Cardinals turn their attention to a familiar rival. Zach Gershman and Jesus Quinonez look back on the key moments from the Week 1 win over the Chargers, with Jesus providing his perspective from the Spanish radio booth after calling his first NFL regular season game. The guys discuss Jeremiyah Love's explosive NFL debut, Jacoby Brissett's connection with Kendrick Bourne, Roy Lopez's impact up front and Simi Fehoko's NFC Special Teams Player of the Week performance. Plus, a look ahead to the home opener against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, including Drew Lock at quarterback, the challenge of containing Jaxon Smith-Njigba and dealing with one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Ep. 1035 - Offense. Defense. Special teams. All three phases had a hand in the Cardinals' 26-14 win at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. It was a performance and an outcome not many expected, at least by those on the outside. The coaches and the players, they believed. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck, who provides her unique perspective from the sideline, react to the Week 1 victory. Jacoby Brissett was efficient, Jeremiyah Love looked good, Kendrick Bourne surprised and Trey McBride was Trey McBride. The defense, led by Mack Wilson Sr. and Andrew Wingard, rattled Justin Herbert, while Simi Fehoko's fourth-quarter blocked punt helped seal a 1-0 start to the season.

Ep. 1034 - Trey McBride. Michael Wilson. Marvin Harrison Jr. The additions of Jeremiyah Love, Kendrick Bourne and Tyler Allgeier. Yeah, the Cardinals have a "pick your poison" - Jacoby Brissett's choice of words earlier in the week - set of playmakers on offense. So, what will it look like on Sunday? And maybe more importantly, how will the Chargers go about defending it? All questions Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman asked to Chargers radio analyst (as well as ESPN/NFL Network analyst) Daniel Jeremiah, who joined the guys to preview the Week 1 game in Los Angeles and gave his thoughts on Mike LaFleur and the Cardinals offense overall. Plus, Zach debuts 3x3.

Ep. 1033 - That's a familiar refrain by coaches and players, especially at the start of a season. On Wednesday, both Mike LaFleur and Jacoby Brissett mentioned the phrase when asked about game planning against their Week 1 opponent the Los Angeles Chargers. And to a certain extent it is more about the Cardinals than the Chargers on Sunday. Craig Grialou and J.P. Shadrick, making his show debut, discuss the matchup against the Chargers, go over who was and who wasn't at practice - spoiler alert: Jeremiyah Love was, Josh Sweat was not - and then give their thoughts on the Super Bowl rematch in Seattle to open the regular season plus the 49ers and Rams opening in Australia.

Ep. 1032 - Nothing like a little breaking news to begin the day, ahead of the Labor Day weekend. On Thursday, the Arizona Cardinals announced that the team had signed wide receiver Michael Wilson to a three-year contract extension that keeps him under contract through the 2029 season. It's a good deal - perhaps even a great deal - both for the team and for the player. Craig Grialou is joined by A.Q. Shipley and Jesus Quinonez to react to the news; what does it mean for the player, what does it mean for the offense, what does it mean for the team overall. Plus, the guys wonder how much of the offense's success in the preseason might translate into the regular season.

Ep. 1031 - From 90 to 53 players. The Cardinals made several roster moves over the past couple of days, and more are likely to be made ahead of Week 1. That's life in the National Football League, where nothing is ever set including the roster. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman do a deep dive on the initial 53-man roster; who was and who wasn't kept, the number of players kept at key positions and what do the two trades mean for the running back and tight end rooms. Plus, it was back to work on Monday; Carson Beck returned to practice, Josh Sweat participated and Garrett Williams looks like he's ready to resume his role as slot cornerback.
