  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson: Offense Expected ‘To Take A Step Forward’
    Jul 31 2024
    Ep. 776 - Yes, it helps to have a franchise quarterback. And now a true No. 1 wide receiver. But the Cardinals offense in 2024 isn’t only Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. There is so much more. And for Charles Robinson, Senior NFL Reporter for Yahoo Sports, the most important piece of the puzzle just may be offensive coordinator Drew Petzing; the person pulling the strings, so to speak. Robinson joined Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman during his recent visit to Cards Camp. Robinson visited last year and compares where the Cardinals were then compared to where they are now and where he believes the team is headed under the direction of both GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon.

    Jul 30 2024
    Ep. 775 - Not until the pads are put on can a player truly be evaluated, according to the head coach. Well, let the evaluation begin. For the first time in training camp, players practiced in pads on Monday. Who stood out? Did anyone impress? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss what they saw during o-line/d-line work as well as who was rushing the passer. Also, both Kyler Murray and offensive coordinator Drew Petzing addressed reporters. Murray is very confident in, not only himself, but how well the offense can perform this season, especially with the addition of a true No. 1 wide receiver in Marvin Harrison Jr. Meanwhile, Petzing appears eager to get all the offensive pieces on the field to see how they fit.

    Ep. 773 - Fans ran to their seats at State Farm Stadium to get their first glimpse of the 2024 Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. And those in attendance did not leave disappointed.

Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch each made nice grabs; rookie tight end Tip Reiman stood out; and things did get a little heated, albeit briefly, between the offense and defense during 11-on-11. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman have all the details, including a review of the first-team offense and defense. They also discuss the importance of the quarterback-center communication and the competition to be QB2.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Welcome To #CardsCamp
    Jul 24 2024
    Ep. 772 - Day 1 is in the books. After reporting on Tuesday, coaches and players hit the field at State Farm Stadium on Wednesday for just over an hour to kickoff training camp. First impressions? Glad you asked. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what they saw; Kyler Murray being a participant is a nice change of pace from a year ago at this time. Also, they discuss what they heard; Budda Baker addressed the team the night before practice, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Baker set the tone as James Conner put it. In addition, the competition fans should expect to see - at running back, wide receiver, and cornerback to name a handful of positions - when they head out to the stadium. The first open practice is Thursday.

    Jul 22 2024
    Ep. 771 - A healthy Kyler Murray. Adding a true No. 1 wide receiver in Marvin Harrison Jr. Which one -- or is it both of them -- is the biggest storyline on offense? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi debate on the day before coaches and players report to State Farm Stadium for the start of training camp. That’s right, the offseason is over. Regardless of which side of the debate you fall on, this much is certain: there is a lot to be excited about concerning the offensive side of the ball, especially considering how that unit finished last season. By the way, in addition to the top storyline, the guys discuss the No. 1 position battle, player most excited to see: newcomer, and player most excited to see: returner.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Training Camp Preview: Defense
    Jul 17 2024
    Ep. 770 - New faces. Familiar faces. How are they all going to fit together? And more importantly, how are they all going to improve a unit that struggled for much of last season? Second-year defensive coordinator Nick Rallis saw additions, whether in free agency or the draft, made at all three levels in the offseason. Also, there should be a natural jump from Year 1 to Year 2 with the players who are returning. So, with one week to go before the start of training camp, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck spotlight the defense; the top storyline, No. 1 position battle, position group with the most intrigue, player most excited to see: newcomer, and player most excited to see: returner. Feel free to agree, or disagree, with their takes.

    Jul 8 2024
    Ep. 769 - It is a much, much different looking team in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in 14 years someone other than Pete Carroll will be the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. The Mike Macdonald era is underway. On Monday’s show, Craig Grialou is joined by John Boyle, senior reporter for seahawks.com, to discuss all things Seahawks. Topics included his first impressions of Macdonald; how the defense may look a little (or a lot) different, especially without long-time linebacker Bobby Wagner in the middle of the field; offensively, is Geno Smith still QB1; how much longer will wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett share the same field; and the offensive line underwent a major overhaul in the offseason, highlighted by the loss of center Evan Brown, who is now playing for the Cardinals.
