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.

Ep. 1030 - So, plenty of news on Monday. The biggest of which was Josh Sweat practiced. He was activated off the physically unable to perform list and worked out with his teammates for the first time. Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez react and discuss Sweat's importance to the defense let alone the entire team; plus, the running back room is now minus Trey Benson, what's the latest with Jeremiyah Love and fellow rookie Carson Beck, what did Mike LaFleur have to say about what Matt LaFleur had to say regarding Wednesday's joint practice with the Packers, and a look back at the preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Ep. 1029 - There is a quarterback plan for Saturday. And, no it does not involve Jacoby Brissett, and it most likely does not involve Carson Beck. It's going to be the Gardner Minshew show, with Kedon Slovis, when the Cardinals host the Dallas Cowboys at State Farm Stadium. This is the Cardinals' lone home preseason game. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what fans can expect. Then the two react to Garrett Williams' return to practice, and if Williams is back then what's the status of Josh Sweat and Tip Reiman, the remaining players on PUP, plus Trey McBride, his name was finally unveiled among the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026.

Ep. 1028 - OK, it's early, and it doesn't count. But this offense has been fun to watch, and maybe more importantly, the players are having fun. So, what does it mean moving forward? How much of what's been seen during the preseason will translate to the regular season? Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the Mike LaFleur-led offense from the quarterback play to the wide receiver play through the first two preseason games, go over the latest injury news regarding Jeremiyah Love, Carson Beck and Chase Bisontis plus debate how much, if at all, the starters will play this week against the Dallas Cowboys in what is the Cardinals' only home game of the preseason.

Ep. 1027 - As good as the offense looked Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers, that unit - whether it was Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew or Carson Beck at quarterback - struggled on Sunday. The final open practice of Cardinals training camp saw tipped passes, passes defensed and a couple of interceptions thanks to plays made at the line scrimmage by Darius Robinson and Roy Lopez, among others. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they witnessed and heard at the annual Red & White Practice. Also, Craig and Zach look back at the Hall of Fame Game and the impressive performances of Beck, Bam Knight, Jalen Brooks and Reggie Virgil plus how did Mike LaFleur feel about the team's efforts after watching the film.

Ep. 1026 - The talent is there. Players like Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. plus newcomers Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier and Kendrick Bourne. Again, a lot of talent. That's not the question. Just how that talent meshes with Jacoby Brissett, the offensive line and Mike LaFleur as the playcaller is the question. And that's fair. Recently, Gilberto Manzano from Sports Illustrated and The MMQB visited Cardinals training camp. He sat down with Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman to discuss all the individual talent in Arizona, the need to be more efficient in the run game, the hope that Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson are key building blocks on defense, and, oh yeah, running into Jason Sudekis at the airport. It's a great conversation ahead of the Cardinals' preseason opener.
