The Cardinals head into their big NFC West game with the Rams after hitting the jackpot in Sin City, so Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and the internet-less Dani Sureck have lots to discuss. Of course, there is the magic of Kyler Murray, and how his vibe has changed and never has that been more apparent than against the Raiders. There is the stellar offensive line play against Chandler Jones, Isaiah Simmons’ current situation and path from here, Byron Murphy locking down Devante Adams, the battle with Aaron Donald upcoming, and Dani’s ability to shine on Sunday after a Saturday night in Vegas.

With the way the first half unfolded, it's still hard to believe the Cardinals pulled off a win in Vegas on Sunday. Craig Grialou is joined by former Cardinals Drew Stanton and Kyle Vanden Bosch to explain how Arizona was able to put together a furious comeback after being down 20-0 at halftime and 23-7 in the middle of the 4th quarter. Bird City conquered Sin City by playing tough defense in the second half and having Kyler Murray step up in the clutch while facing near-impossible odds. Plus, a big NFC West matchup is on the horizon with the Rams. Can the Cardinals end their recent struggles at State Farm Stadium?

Ep. 592 - Here’s hoping that what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas; at least how the Cardinals performed in the second half and overtime of Sunday’s 29-23 win at Allegiant Stadium. It was truly a tale of two halves. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss the two games that were played against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kyler Murray was outstanding with both his arm and his legs; the latter providing several viral moments. Byron Murphy, J.J. Watt, Isaiah Simmons and the entire defense stepped up. It was just one win, but it may be a win that changes the course of the rest of the season. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 18 - After a series of improbable events, the Cardinals somehow managed to come up with a 29-23 overtime win against the Raiders after being down 23-7 midway through the 4th quarter. Dani Sureck, Craig Grialou and Quentin McCorvey break down Kyler Murray’s will to win, the defense coming alive in the second half and a record-setting finish that will be remembered for years to come.

Ep. 591 - Everyone who visits Las Vegas wants to win, or at least come out ahead. The Cardinals are no exception. Their win, though, needs to be on the field. After a poor performance in Week 1, the Cardinals hope they have corrected the many mistakes they made. No team wants to begin the regular season with two losses. So what must happen? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi breakdown Sunday’s matchup against the Raiders. The Chandler Jones storyline is an obvious one. The Cardinals need to limit the Raiders pass rush and generate one themselves in their first-ever visit to Allegiant Stadium. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 577 - The path to the NFL was not easy for Greg Dortch. The second-year wide receiver joins Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about beating the odds to make the Cardinals 53-man roster, his competitive nature, going against press coverage, moving on from the loss to the Chiefs and looking ahead to the Raiders. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf present some keys for Cardinals success in Las Vegas on Sunday. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Todo que pasa en Las Vegas se queda en Las Vegas. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 590 - For six seasons, D.J. Humphries and Chandler Jones competed against one another in practice. On Sunday, they’ll do so once again, though this time it will be in a game. The two are no longer teammates. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look ahead to this week’s reunion with the franchise’s all-time sacks leader; plus what Kyler Murray had to say about “one of the best teammates I’ve ever been around.” Also discussed, whether or not the Cardinals’ road success last season carries over to this season and why Patrick Mahomes winning player of the week honor rubs salt in the wound.

It was an ugly Week 1 for the Cardinals, but when have Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck let that be a problem? The games matter, so too does the analysis. Our trio breaks down the need to play with urgency vs. practice habits vs. personnel; dealing with Derek Carr; the offensive fits and starts; Vance Joseph choosing to blitz Patrick Mahomes; potential veteran additions; the lack of communication on defense; what we saw from Kyler and Hollywood; the Chandler Jones reunion; and Paul’s close encounter with an earthquake.

In the NFL, there are many ways to handle adversity. The Cardinals are choosing to let the 44-21 loss to the Chiefs sting for a few days while learning valuable lessons from the film. Craig Grialou leans on former Cardinals players Drew Stanton and Kyle Vanden Bosch to explain how teams can bounce back from such a poor performance. Plus, a look ahead to Sunday's game with the Raiders in Las Vegas. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 589 - Well, that was not what anyone expected to see on Sunday. It’s one thing to lose. It’s another to get outplayed in every phase of the game. And the Cardinals were certainly outplayed in a 44-21 season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi give their thoughts, starting with a defense that is undermanned. They then shift their attention to the offense, which was held to just seven points through three quarters. Overall, where do the Cardinals go from here? The guys revisit Dennis Gardeck’s postgame comments. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 17 - The Red Sea has a case of the Mondays and the Morning Scramble is here to help.

See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 588 - For the first time in their careers, Kyler Murray and Patrick Mahomes will go head-to-head. It is one of the more intriguing matchups in Week 1. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi break down Sunday's game at State Farm Stadium. Now while the two quarterbacks and their respective offenses have received much of the attention this week, the guys make sure not to neglect the defenses. In fact, defense may be the determining factor. Both teams have major question marks on that side of the ball. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 576 - Cardinals safety Jalen Thompson joins Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about his recent contract extension, being named a team captain, his relationship with fellow safety Budda Baker, the development of linebackers Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins, facing the Chiefs in the season opener and much more. Plus, Calvisi and Wolf break down key matchups, the injury report and what Hollywood Brown could mean to the Cardinals offense. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 587 - The regular season is here. The question, though, ahead of Week 1 is who might not be available on Sunday. There are still a handful of players—key players—who are missing from practice. And while it is only mid-week, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the potential of not having a J.J. Watt or Markus Golden or Trayvon Mullen on the field against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Also, Trace McSorley just became the team’s No. 2 quarterback. How worrisome is that should something happen to Kyler Murray? See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The games that count are here, and it doesn’t get much better than a visit from Patrick Mahomes, who just happens to be Kliff Kingsbury’s best player from his college coaching days. With that as a backdrop, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck jump right into all the Mahomes storylines – facing Kliff, facing Kyler, facing a Cardinals’ cornerbacks situation that still has question marks. Where is Kyler Murray mentally coming into this season? How much will the Chiefs miss Tyreek Hill (and is this the best time to play K.C.?) What is the status with Markus Golden, and how will the Cardinals attack the pass rush if he isn’t available? There is also the matter of how the Cardinals will plan their offense in this particular matchup, how they will tackle in Week 1, and finally, some clarity on the role of Zaven Collins. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 586 - Losing Chandler Jones hurt. That’s not debatable. So how do the Cardinals effectively rush the quarterback this season? Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said “there’s a bunch of guys” who can get into the backfield. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss the team’s options, from Markus Golden and Dennis Gardeck to perhaps Zaven Collins, Isaiah Simmons and Zach Allen. All will be needed. Also, the guys re-examine the roster given the number of moves made this week plus update the status on a handful of injured starters. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Like the rest of the NFL, the Cardinals have trimmed their roster to 53 players.

Quiénes pudieran quedarse en la escuadra de práctica? See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Cardinals have gotten to the end of the preseason with their initial 53-man roster, and sure, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck can’t be together but they don’t let that stop them from some scintillating analysis. The Cardinals go without a long snapper – kind of; Two QBs means all is right with Colt McCoy; The future and angry play of Andy Isabella; Moving on from Devon Kennard; Holding on to five running backs; Who will RB2 be?; Isaiah Simmons as green dot and secondary duct tape; The trade for Travon Mullen; and the knowledge the 53-man roster will change more before Week 1. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
NFL teams always face tough decisions when making cuts to form their initial 53-man roster. The Cardinals had great competition within several position groups during the offseason and training camp. Craig Grialou and Drew Stanton do their best to sort out several areas of the roster including wide receiver, linebacker, cornerback and running back. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 585 - Between now and Tuesday at 1 p.m. MST, several roster decisions will be made. There are a number of tough calls, which is a good problem to have if you’re the front office and coaching staff. So, just what will the initial 53-man roster look like? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi, who survived Nashville, give their thoughts. They go position-by-position. Are there positions where the team might decide to go light at in order to go heavy somewhere else, i.e. wide receiver and outside linebacker? Playing general manager is much easier than being general manager. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The final 53-man roster gets set next week. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ep. 574 - Linebacker Dennis Gardeck joined Paul Calvisi to discuss getting back to the form displayed during his career year in 2020.

Plus, Ron Wolfley joins Calvisi to talk about the joint practice with the Titans, who might make up the back end of the wide receiver room and what they'll be watching during Saturday's preseason finale in Nashville.
