  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey McBride, Offense Have ‘Really Good Day’ In Joint Practice With Denver Broncos

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey McBride, Offense Have ‘Really Good Day’ In Joint Practice With Denver Broncos
    Aug 14 2025
    Ep. 914 - Fitting that the hometown boy had a good showing against the hometown team. Trey McBride, who grew up a Broncos fan, was “unguardable” in Thursday’s joint practice, according to Darren Urban, who was this show’s eyes and ears in Denver. Following practice, and minus his bucket hat, Darren joined Craig Grialou to discuss what he saw from the offense - McBride obviously, but also Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Trey Benson - as well as the defense plus his account of the lone dust-up between the two teams that, to no one’s surprise, involved Tip Reiman in a special teams period. Also, Darren and Craig react to Calais Campbell, himself a Colorado native, saying he would be “very surprised” if this is not his last season and Broncos head coach Sean Payton telling the media neither team plans to play many of its starters on Saturday.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Darren Hall Among Those Who Stood Out In Preseason Opener

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Darren Hall Among Those Who Stood Out In Preseason Opener
    Aug 11 2025
    Ep. 913 - First and foremost, no injuries. Second, they got a win. Third, several players had good performances. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look back at Saturday’s preseason opener, a 20-17 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs from State Farm Stadium. Dani, by the way, had a unique vantage point for the game. She was on the sideline, working on the TV broadcast. What did she see? Who stood out to her? Again, a lot of players flashed from running backs Trey Benson and Emari Demercado to wide receiver Xavier Weaver and cornerback Darren Hall. And as you’d expect, there was a lot that needs to be cleaned up. Turnovers. Penalties; especially at the start of the game. All in all, though, a good effort and first impression in front of the Bird Gang.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport: This Team Is Ready To Win
    Aug 7 2025
    Ep. 912 - As training camp wraps up, it’s clear - and clear to everyone, locally sure but nationally especially - the pieces, meaning the players, are in place to have a successful season in 2025. For one last time, Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman are at #CardsCamp. And what a way to finish. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport joins the show. The guys get his thoughts on Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon going into Year3, Kyler Murray going into Year 7, the addition of Josh Sweat plus where Ian sees the Cardinals’ place within the NFC West. Also, Craig and Zach give their big takeaways, and perhaps some key questions answered, after two weeks at State Farm Stadium.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Rabbit Has Hopped Into The Picture With Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Rabbit Has Hopped Into The Picture With Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson
    Aug 7 2025
    Ep. 911 - If two is good, then three has to be better, right? The three-safety look has been seen more times than not during training camp at State Farm Stadium. Will it be seen in the regular season? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss why defensive coordinator Nick Rallis likes Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson and Rabbit Taylor-Demerson on the field at the same time and why maybe Rabbit has forced Rallis’ hand based on how he played last season. Plus, Craig and Zach agree with Jonathan Gannon’s new approach to the preseason, meaning the starters will play; and what or who stood out in what was the final open practice – a padded practice, by the way – of #CardsCamp on Wednesday.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Arizona Cardinals Took ‘Right Approach’ To Run It Back Offensively

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Arizona Cardinals Took ‘Right Approach’ To Run It Back Offensively
    Aug 4 2025
    Ep. 910 - The quarterback. The wide receivers. The running backs. The offensive line. Plus, the play caller. They’re all back. And that’s a good thing, according to Gilberto Manzano, NFL staff writer for Sports Illustrated and The MMQB. Manzano joined both Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman during his visit to #CardsCamp late last week. The guys get Manzano’s thoughts about Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr., and the Drew Petzing-coached offense; the additions made to the defense, signing Josh Sweat and Calais Campbell plus drafting Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson; and where he sees the Cardinals positioned within “a tough to predict” NFC West. Before the conversation begins, though, Craig and Zach look ahead to Saturday’s preseason opener.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Will Johnson INT Highlights Red & White Practice

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Will Johnson INT Highlights Red & White Practice
    Aug 3 2025
    Ep. 909 - Great atmosphere on Saturday. The annual Red & White Practice at #CardsCamp attracted a record turnout at State Farm Stadium. Fans are definitely excited about the 2025 Arizona Cardinals. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go over some of the highlights; which players stood out during what was a second straight padded practice and the fourth one this week. Also, the guys provide updates to injured wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson - spoiler alert: it’s all good news - plus they react to James Conner’s comments post-practice about him and fellow running back Trey Benson; Conner believes, and without hesitation, the two are both ‘RB1’ in this offense.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Zay Jones Standing Out At Cards Camp, Looking To Solidify WR Role

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Zay Jones Standing Out At Cards Camp, Looking To Solidify WR Role
    Aug 2 2025
    Ep. 908 - Nothing has been decided yet – players are still competing for their roles as Jonathan Gannon likes to say – but it would appear a frontrunner has emerged for who will be the team’s third wide receiver. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck explain why they believe it’s Zay Jones, the veteran who didn’t have a productive 2024 but was brought back this season. And it’s not just Jones who has caught people’s attention. Craig and Dani discuss the play of second-year offensive lineman Isaiah Adams. (Yes, Dani was right, and Craig was wrong.) Plus, everything the Bird Gang needs to know about Friday’s padded practice, including updates on Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Might Garrett Williams Never Come Off The Field This Season?

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Might Garrett Williams Never Come Off The Field This Season?
    Aug 1 2025
    Ep. 907 - Last season Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson, more times than not, played 100-percent of the defensive snaps. Could Garrett Williams join that club in 2025? Maybe. At least that’s what Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss after hearing what Jonathan Gannon said on Thursday and what the guys have seen thus far in training camp. Williams just might be too good to come off the field. Also talked about: pre-snap motion, how much of that will we see this season; no Marvin Harrison Jr. on the field, but no one panic; the importance of special teams, including why Michael Wilson is field punts during practice; and this time next year, will the Cardinals be playing in the Hall of Fame Game?
