Ep. 1061 - It's a day fans have been waiting for, and many who believe it should've happened well before Week 10. But here we are. On Sunday, Carson Beck, selected with the first pick of the third round in the 2026 NFL Draft, makes his first career start. He and the Cardinals host the Los Angeles Rams at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman give their thoughts on Beck's debut, go over the injury report and tease Zach's 3x3 (the Saturday advance.) Plus, Craig and Zach head into enemy territory. They speak with Rams beat writer Stu Jackson about the Rams run game, who Matthew Stafford will be throwing to, the return of Myles Garrett and how the Rams might defend - new team captain - Trey McBride.

Ep. 1060 - Expected after news of the elbow injury suffered by Gardner Minshew, it became official on Wednesday: Carson Beck is the new starting quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals. He'll make his NFL debut this week against the Los Angeles Rams. Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez, after hearing from Beck for the first time since before he started the Hall of Fame Game, talk about Beck as QB1, expectations for the third-round rookie, the wide receivers who are left for Beck to throw to, the overall situation - from a roster standpoint - he's walking into, and then of course Sunday's opponent; Beck will be standing across the line of scrimmage from the likes of Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald.

Ep. 1059 - It doesn't happen often, but Craig Grialou made the trip with the team to Seattle. And after a brief travel discussion about unpacking, the weather and just how loud it is at Lumen Field, he and Dani Sureck discuss all that happened in the Cardinals' 17-3 loss to the Seahawks. They begin with the offense and how Gardner Minshew and company struggled to sustain drives following a promising first possession. Then it's the defense's turn to be put in the spotlight. And outside of a handful of plays, Craig and Dani both agree that side of the ball played well enough to win. Finally, what might Sunday's result mean for Tuesday and the NFL trade deadline?

Ep. 1058 - One week after leading the Arizona Cardinals to a comeback overtime win at Dallas, Gardner Minshew will make his first start of the season on Sunday in Seattle. What should the Bird Gang expect? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the rematch with the Seahawks - after a quick word on the Jacoby Brissett trade becoming official - with FOX NFL Analyst Jonathan Vilma, who will be calling his first Cardinals game of the season. Vilma talks Minshew, Carson Beck (a fellow Miami alum), Drew Lock - also part of Zach's 3x3 - which team is under the most pressure to win in Week 9, and Trey McBride's game, both his football game and his trash talk-game.

Ep. 1057 - A lot of quarterback news on Wednesday. The Gardner Minshew era officially began as he took all the first-team reps at practice, signaling the official change at QB1. That came on the heels of reports the Cardinals are finalizing a trade of Jacoby Brissett to the Ravens. Craig Grialou and J.P. Shadrick mention the Brissett deal before going all in on Minshew Mania. J.P. was there in Jacksonville when Minshew was drafted in 2019 and spent his first two seasons playing for the Jaguars. Also, the Seahawks announced Drew Lock will start - he started Week 2 against the Cardinals - because Sam Darnold is hurt, while in non-quarterback news, Tyler Allgeier was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Ep. 1056 - There are few things certain in life. Death and taxes, for sure. And now go ahead and add a Cardinals win over the Dallas Cowboys. For the record that's now five straight victories, nine of the last 11, and an impressive 5-0 mark all-time at AT&T Stadium. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look back at all that happened in Sunday's 33-30 OT win. They begin with the quarterback change, how well Gardner Minshew ran the offense, the play of Michael Wilson despite two broken ribs, why Tyler Allgeier was the last man standing in the running back room plus the redemption stories of both Chad Ryland and L.J. Collier; both of whom overcame mistakes to help earn the Cardinals their third win of the season.

Ep. 1055 - Happy Halloween, Bird Gang! And, yes, Zach Gershman did (partially) dress up. Craig Grialou did not. After a brief talk about Zach's costume for this year, he and Craig dive into the game on Sunday. Will history repeat itself? Will the Cardinals make it five straight wins over the Dallas Cowboys and extend their record at AT&T Stadium to 5-0? A returning Jeremiyah Love can't hurt. He's back after missing the past two weeks. Plus, Clarence Hill Jr. from All City DLLS joins the show to discuss all things Cowboys, from their performance on Monday Night Football, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens - part of Zach's 3x3 - to how the Dallas defense may go about defending Trey McBride.

Ep. 1054 - Not that one player is the answer, but one player can be part of the solution. At least that's the hope after seeing Jeremiyah Love back on the practice field on Wednesday. Now his status for this week's game at the Dallas Cowboys remains unknown, yet that did not stop Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez from talking about his playmaking ability, especially in the red zone, which has been a troublesome spot for the Cardinals in recent weeks. Also, Craig and Jesus discuss the addition of Zay Jones and how his signing might impact the rest of the wide receiver room, and go over what was a long list of missing players from Wednesday's practice.
