Ep. 959 - Historic. That's how you sum up Trey McBride's performance on Sunday. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi go over some of the numbers, Paul details what he saw from the sideline, and both wonder out loud how to best feature McBride, Michael Wilson and, when healthy, Marvin Harrison Jr. Individually, McBride, this week's Angry Bird Award winner, is having a fantastic season. Collectively, he and his teammates have struggled to find wins. Craig and Paul look back at the 40-20 loss at Houston: from falling behind by two scores before the first offensive snap, not generating enough pressure on Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to the mistakes made on special teams. Add it all up and you get a sixth straight loss.

Ep. 958 - Last week, it was the second-ranked defense. This week, it's the top-ranked defense. In other words, Jacoby Brissett has been and will once again be challenged as he and the Cardinals head to Houston in Week 15. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman preview Sunday's matchup against the Texans. Their discussion begins with an injury report - spoiler alert: five players, and not just any five players but five starters will not play - and then continues as Craig and Zach venture into enemy territory. John Harris joins the show. He covers the Texans for HoustonTexans-dot-com plus he's the team's sideline reporter.

Ep. 957 - Trust is earned, and Michael Wilson has earned the trust of his coaches and teammates. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what they've seen from Wilson during his stretch as WR1, relay what they've heard others say about Wilson's elite production and then try to forecast what's next for the third-year pro out of Stanford. Plus, there's good news and not so good news on the injury front; Walter Nolen III was back at practice on Wednesday, but Marvin Harrison Jr. was not. In fact, there were a number of players missing from practice. Also, some unfortunate news on running back Trey Benson. He will not return this season.

Ep. 956 - There's losing a game and then there's getting beat. And on Sunday, the Cardinals were beaten "in every facet," according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, who added the 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams was "very humbling." Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at what went wrong; why the offense couldn't stay on the field, why the defense couldn't get off the field. The Cardinals saw firsthand just how good the Rams are here in 2025. Also, the Cardinals can't escape the injury bug (three more players got hurt) and Paul hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award. It goes to Michael Wilson, a brand new father who has elevated his game when WR1.

Ep. 955 - Breaking news on a Football Friday. Kyler Murray, as announced by head coach Jonathan Gannon, will not play again this season. Now, what does that mean for next season? Great question. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react to the news before turning their attention to the Los Angeles Rams, the first place Rams and the No. 2 seed in the NFC. They are playing good football, really good football thanks in large part to MVP candidate Matthew Stafford. Also, Craig and Zach go over the long list of players who are not playing on Sunday plus head into enemy territory. Stu Jackson joins the show. He's the senior staff writer for therams-dot-com.

Ep. 954 - You get what you pay for. But the Arizona Cardinals may be getting more than what they paid for Josh Sweat when they signed him to a multi-year, multi-million-dollar contract in free agency. In a word: impressive. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss why Sweat is deserving of your vote for the 2026 Pro Bowl, his impact on the defense overall, and then look ahead to what he might become in Year 2 with the Cardinals; how does he elevate his game? Also, Craig and Dani give an injury update - who was and who wasn't at practice on Wednesday - plus now that the playoffs are out of reach, what players might benefit the most with more playing time?

Ep. 953 - One-score games. It's what the NFL is known for. It's what the Arizona Cardinals are known for. But too many times this season the Cardinals have been on the wrong side of one-score games. Like Sunday. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay. The Cardinals did a lot of good things. The team finished with more total yards, more passing yards, more first downs; the offense had one its better run game efforts of the season - yet still lost. Yes, Craig and Paul go over how the game finished. They also go over how the game started, with the Cardinals once again digging themselves a hole. And even in a loss, there is the Angry Bird Award, and this week it goes to Akeem Davis-Gaither.

Ep. 952 - After back-to-back home games, the Cardinals are on the road this week. They make the cross-country flight to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers, a team coached by Todd Bowles; and with any Bowles-coached team, this much is known: expect the blitz. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what Jacoby Brissett is likely to face on Sunday. And to further break down the matchup here in Week 13, Craig and Zach are joined by T.J. Rives, Buccaneers radio sideline reporter (and noted boxing enthusiast.) Before that conversation, though, there are injures to update on both sides of the ball; no Trey Benson or Will Hernandez this week, but Marvin Harrison Jr. and Will Johnson are expected to play.
