Ep. 825 - The number is seven. There are seven coaches, including the head coach and both the offensive and defensive coordinators, who have ties to the Minnesota Vikings organization. Will that mean anything on Sunday? Maybe. Maybe not. There's also a handful of Vikings personnel who have ties to the Cardinals as Craig Grialou and Darren Urban discuss on the show. Their conversation, though, begins with whether or not this is the week rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson makes his debut. It certainly sounds like Week 13 is the week, finally. Plus, Craig and Darren head into enemy territory. They speak with long-time NFL writer Kevin Seifert. He covers the Vikings for ESPN.com and gives his perspective on the matchup.

Ep. 826 - Six times; more times than any other game this season. Six times the offense reached the red zone, yet only one time did the trip result in a touchdown. That's not good enough. And that's why, at least a big reason why, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck are discussing a loss rather than a win. The two look back at Sunday's 23-22 loss; the offensive struggles near the goal line, the inability to throw the ball downfield with any consistency, all the penalties at what seemed like all the wrong times. There is also talk of a defense that played well until they didn't; how did Darius Robinson look in his debut; and what more can be said about the play of Mack Wilson Sr., this week's winner of the Angry Bird Award.

Ep. 824 - On this, the day before Thanksgiving, it makes sense for Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck to say what they're thankful for. Family. Close friends. Good health. How about a Cardinals team that's going to be playing meaningful football in December, and hopefully January. Yes, to all. But, what about Trey McBride? He leads the team in both receptions and receiving yards, but is he appreciated enough? And that leads into a discussion about Pro Bowl voting and which Cardinals players are worthy of your vote because there are several to consider. Also, the latest from Wednesday's practice; it's not too early to talk playoffs; and Dani is always ready to talk green bean casserole because it is - she believes - the best side dish of Thanksgiving dinner.

Ep. 823 - Blame the noise. Blame the weather. Credit the defense. Whatever the reason, the Cardinals offense did not show up in Seattle on Sunday. From Kyler Murray on down, it was a struggle. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at what went wrong - the inability to get the run game going, the inability to stop defensive lineman Leonard Williams from getting into the backfield - in a 16-6 loss against the Seahawks, who now lead the NFC West. The guys also praise the play of Trey McBride, who had a career day in defeat, and the work of the defense which held Geno Smith and company to 10 points; that should be good enough to win any game. Speaking of the defense, props to former Seahawk L.J. Collier, he earned Paul's weekly Angry Bird Award.

Ep. 822 - So, how do the Cardinals play coming out of the bye week? That's been the question all week considering how well the team was playing going into the bye week. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman explain why they believe there will be no drop-off on Sunday in Seattle. It helps, the guys think, that it's a division game and a game with major implications in the standings. With weather potentially being a factor – rain is in the forecast, though even if it wasn't – running back James Conner is expected to play a key role in the matchup. He's got good numbers against the Seahawks, and the Seahawks have struggled against the run; that other topics are brought up when Craig and Zach speak with John Boyle, senior reporter for Seahawks.com. He joins the show to help preview the Week 12 matchup.

Ep. 821 - It is a day of returns. Right tackle Jonah Williams is back on the 53-man roster, rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson is back practicing, and more importantly, Dani Sureck is back on the show. She and Craig Grialou discuss whether the team should reinsert Williams into the starting lineup given how well Kelvin Beachum has played in Williams' absence; how excited Robinson is to be on the field after so much time rehabbing a calf injury; and playing in Seattle, always a tough visit for opponents, though the Cardinals have had their success. Speaking of Seattle, the game marks another homecoming for Budda Baker. He and the entire secondary have held their own against many of the league's top wide receivers in recent weeks. Craig and Dani have the numbers.

Ep. 820 - The bye week is over. Time to get back to work. And that's exactly what the Cardinals did on Monday with what head coach Jonathan Gannon called a "bonus" practice. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they saw and, more importantly, who they saw. (Spoiler alert: rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson was on the field.) Also, the guys look back at what was a very successful Week 11 for the Cardinals. Despite the team not playing, they won on Sunday. The Cardinals remain in sole possession of first place in the NFC West, and they leapfrogged the Atlanta Falcons to become the No. 3 seed in the NFC.

Ep. 819 - Six wins. A four-game winning streak. Sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Things are going well for the Arizona Cardinals thus far in 2024. Surprised? Some people may be. The coaches and the players in the building are not. As the Cardinals head into their bye week, Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look back at the season's first 10 games, look ahead to the season's final seven games; they also discuss who and what position groups have stood out; the impact this year's rookie class has made, and hopefully will continue to make; when to expect a handful of injured players to return; but they begin with Kyler Murray, NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
