    Cardinals Cover 2 - Big Plays Lead To Big Win By The Bay

    Ep. 804 - Now that’s how you respond after a difficult loss. There may not be a more satisfying win all season. On the road. Division opponent. Down 13 at halftime, 10 heading into the fourth quarter. Nice job, Cardinals. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss the 24-23 come-from-behind victory at the San Francisco 49ers. And, oh yeah, it was hot on Sunday; very hot, which Paul can attest to. Big plays were made by Kyler Murray and James Conner, who earned this week’s Angry Bird Award; also shout-out the offensive line. And then the defense, for the second time in three games, pitched a second-half shutout with three takeaways and turnover on downs. Happy Victory Monday, everyone!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - On To San Francisco; How Do The Cardinals Respond After A Disappointing Week 4?

    Ep. 803 - It’s been a long week. Losing happens, yes. But losing like that, by 28 points despite a relatively healthy roster, is not something the Cardinals had ever experienced under head coach Jonathan Gannon. So, here’s the question: what is the team’s response on Sunday in San Francisco? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look ahead to the matchup against the 49ers, the first of two meetings this season. Also, they discuss the latest injury news - good news on tight end Trey McBride, uncertain news for kicker Matt Prater - and head into enemy territory. Lindsey Pallares, team reporter for 49ers.com, joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Might The Return Of Trey McBride Spark The Offense?

    Ep. 802 - He’s only one player. And he only missed one game. But when Kyler Murray says it’ll be “huge” to have Trey McBride back on the field this week, that means something. And it might mean a lot for an offense that has been held to 13 and 14 points, respectively, the past two weeks. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss McBride’s potential return. Darius Robinson, however, is not returning this week, and that’s disappointing. Craig and Dani also talk about Kyler’s running; Marvin Harrison Jr.’s catching; how well Paris Johnson Jr. has played left tackle; the challenge of facing the 49ers on Sunday; and give a shout-out to Jon Gaines, one of Dani’s favorites.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Cardinals ‘Humbled’ After Command Performance By Washington

    Ep. 801 - No excuses. Not after that game. The Cardinals did not look good, they did not play good and the end result was a 42-14 home loss to the Washington Commanders. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what happened in Week 4, from a defense that could not stop the run nor get consistent pressure on Jayden Daniels to an offense that has no trouble scoring on its opening possession only to go cold for much of the rest of the game. So, what are the solutions? Where do the Cardinals go from here? All great questions. The guys have their thoughts. Also, Paul hands out his weekly Angry Bird Award. It goes to second-year cornerback Garrett Williams, whose interception was one of the few bright spots on Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - It’s Not Just Another Game

    Ep. 800 - No one will say it publicly, but how can it not be just another game? Not when the former head coach is on the other sideline, calling plays trying to beat a handful of the same players he once went to battle with. It should be interesting on Sunday with Kliff Kingsbury back at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the matchup against the Washington Commanders; a matchup in which the Cardinals will not have tight end Trey McBride or defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga. How does that change things? The good news: both safety Budda Baker and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will be available after landing on the injury report this week. Also, they head into enemy territory and speak with Zach Selby. He covers the Commanders for commanders.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - It’s Homecoming Week

    Ep. 799 - Kliff is back. So, too, is Jayden Daniels. And don’t forget about Zach Ertz. Sure, there are a handful of others, be it coaches and players with connections to the Cardinals who will be back at State Farm Stadium on Sunday, but it’s Kliff Kingsbury’s return that is grabbing most, if not all, of the headlines. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what it’s going to be like with Kliff in the building and Kyler Murray on the opposite sideline. Big deal or not a big deal? Also, the latest on Justin Jones, Kelvin Beachum and Jackson Barton; and is that Marvin Harrison Jr. and Budda Baker on the injury report? Good thing it’s early in the week. Plus, everything in the run game and the pass game is correctable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Defense Steps Up, Offense Takes Step Back In Loss

    Ep. 798 - Not sure you could’ve asked for much more out of the defense. They pitched a shutout in the second half. The offense, however, couldn’t take advantage. No run game. No downfield passing game. No sustained drives. It’s left everyone with the opposite feeling compared to this time a week ago. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss all that happened - and what didn’t happen - in Sunday’s 20-13 loss to the Detroit Lions. And though there is no Paul Calvisi - as we like to say, he’s on assignment the day after the game - the Angry Bird Award is still handed out. Both Craig and Dani agree Mack Wilson Sr. is worthy of the recognition for the plays he made and that one play he did but it didn’t count.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - ‘Big-Time Test’ Awaits Arizona Cardinals On Sunday

    Ep. 797 - Despite the loss last week, the Detroit Lions are a good football team. Very good in the eyes of head coach Jonathan Gannon, who several times mentioned the test his team faces in Week 3. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman give their thoughts on Sunday’s matchup, which is the second of three straight games at State Farm Stadium for the Cardinals. The guys discuss the availability of right tackle Kelvin Beachum and how the offensive line needs to slow down the league’s top sack artist in Aidan Hutchinson. They then get the thoughts of Matt Dery as the show heads into enemy territory. Dery is the host of the Locked On Lions podcast. Finally, stay listening for Zach’s predictions. He gives three.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
