Ep. 816 - The first-place Arizona Cardinals practiced on Wednesday, and just like previous Wednesdays the players were "all business" according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. In other words, a team that's won three straight and four of five remains focused on the day-to-day. No one is looking ahead, more importantly, no one is looking ahead to the bye week. The focus is on the New York Jets, a team that's much better than their 3-6 record. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck explain why the Jets have the Cardinals' attention; Aaron Rodgers is a big reason. Also, they talk Baron Browning, Blake Gillikin (NFC Special Teams Player of the Week), and Dante Stills.

Ep. 815 - Six sacks, two by Zaven Collins (Angry Bird Award winner). More than 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns. The Cardinals controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in what was an impressive 29-9 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. And, yeah, it rained. Briefly, but it rained inside State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at the Cardinals' Week 9 performance. They discuss the defense, which for the second time in three games held an opponent without a touchdown; the offense, which saw three players score their first touchdowns of the season; and spotlight special teams, which continues to impress during the team's current three-game winning streak.

Ep. 814 - New month. New Arizona Cardinals? We'll find out soon enough. On Sunday, they play their first game as a first-place team. Wins in three of their past four games, including two in a row, has put the Cardinals in a position they haven't been in a while. So, how do they handle their recent success? How do they keep the main thing the main thing as is so often said by coaches and players? Again, we'll find out this weekend when the Chicago Bears visit State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the Week 9 matchup; discuss the who will and who won't be playing; and they head into enemy territory and speak with Kevin Fishbain, senior writer for The Athletic, who covers the Bears.

Ep. 813 - The first place Arizona Cardinals were back at work on Wednesday. Coaches, players; everyone was in a good mood. And why not. The Cardinals have won two in a row and three of their last four games. Yet, no one is satisfied. Kyler Murray said as much when he met with reporters. Yes, the Cardinals are in a good place, but there's still a lot of season left, including a matchup against one of the better defenses in the league on Sunday. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss how the Cardinals are handling success. Plus, the two talk about Darius Robinson's continued absence from practice; Jonah Williams' return to practice; how well the offensive line has played recently; and what milestone James Conner reaches in Week 9.

Ep. 812 - From Kyler Murray to Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride on offense to Budda Baker leading the defense, the Cardinal's big-time players made big-time plays in big-time spots. And let's not forget special teams. All had a hand in the team's 28-27 come-from-behind victory at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. That's two straight wins for the first time since 2021. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what it all means. Spoiler alert: the Cardinals are in first place through eight games. (Who cares that it's only October.) By the way, with so many players coming up big in Week 8, Paul had several nominations for the Angry Bird Award. No spoilers here; listen and find out who won.

Ep. 811 - It's been 46 games since the Cardinals last won back-to-back games. In other words, it's been way too long. So, is this the week the drought ends? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to Sunday's game at the Miami Dolphins. Remember, it's a short week and the Cardinals will be short-handed. Sean Murphy-Bunting and Roy Lopez won't play due to injury. Craig and Zach discuss who will likely fill those roles at cornerback and defensive line, respectively. Also, the guys head into enemy territory and speak with Travis Wingfield from miamidolphins.com. The big news surrounding the Dolphins is the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Ep. 810 - Seven games into the season, the Cardinals have shown they can run the ball, and run the ball quite well. They have not shown, however, that they can throw the ball with any consistency. The passing game has yet to meet expectations; that fans have and, more importantly, that Kyler Murray has given his playmakers. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what Kyler had to say Wednesday. Plus, they talk about how to get Marvin Harrison Jr. more involved, the challenge that is the Dolphins defense, the rotation at right guard, who steps up now that Dennis Gardeck is done for the season, and a quick check of the NFC West standings shows the Cardinals are in good position. Can they take advantage?

Ep. 809 - Monday Night Football. It's a big deal. It's been a big deal for more than five decades. The Cardinals, though, have not played on Monday night since 2022. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the primetime matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cardinals will try to bounce back from a bad loss the week prior. The good news is that it looks like Kyler Murray will have his full complement of wide receivers for the first time; Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) has practiced each of the past two days and Zay Jones (suspension) is expected to make his season debut. Also, the guys head into enemy territory and speak with Eric Smith, the editorial director of chargers.com.
