Podcast appearances and mentions of dani sureck

Ep. 930 - No James Conner. And now no Trey Benson. The running back room has taken another hit, and a significant one at that. The role of RB1 will now be played by Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, and Bam Knight. And it may just take all three. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss where the Cardinals go from here, who might be asked to carry the load and whether the run game - slow to get going through four games - may look a little different minus Conner and Benson. Also, Craig and Dani react to what Marvin Harrison Jr. had to say speaking to reporters on Wednesday. We had not heard from Harrison since his fourth-quarter performance against the Seahawks. Did something finally click? Let's hope so.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Cardinals come back to work following two harsh back-to-back losses, “radio guy” Paul Calvisi engages Darren Urban and Dani Sureck about how the Cardinals like making every single minute of every single game count. They also chat about how with the offense “(blank) is loading,” more use of 11 personnel and what - if anything - that means, correctable vs concerning, marriage talk in Getting Cultured, the MHJ roller coaster, a thrilling edition of The Wise Guy, the Cardinals' new training facility for 2028, adapting during the minibye, more Trey McBride and the running back situation, Bilal Nichols in the DL mix, Winning Behavior (or lack thereof), and Paul's unfortunate use of ChatGPT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 928 - In just five days, the Arizona Cardinals have suffered two heartbreaking losses that both came down to their opponents making last second field goals. Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman are here to break down what happened in the Cardinals' 23-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. The offense sputtered for the first three quarters; Marvin Harrison Jr. was able to rebound in the fourth quarter after struggling in the early stages of the game; the defense played well but weren't able to come up with that crucial stop late. Plus, some notes on Friday from the head coach Jonathan Gannon on what's working and not working after watching the tape and a bit of an update on players on the PUP list.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a tough loss to the 49ers, the Cardinals have little time to regroup as they get ready to host the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Paul Calvisi, Rob Fredrickson, and Dani Sureck discuss how the team can move past the setback in Santa Clara, the offensive impact of losing James Conner, Kyler Murray's rhythm with his receivers, Calais Campbell and the defense's knack for big plays, and key storylines heading into the divisional clash with the Seahawks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Calvisi was feeling nostalgic about his parents' musical loves after watching the Cardinals' hard Sunday in San Francisco, which included the season-ending injury to James Conner. Paul discusses that hard loss with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck on this short-week, early edition of the podcast, along with Trey Benson becoming RB1, the notion of leaning harder into Trey McBride, the offensive line production and the development of Josh Fryar, the struggles of Marvin Harrison Jr. and the drops that were had by multiple players, a return to normalcy with Wise Guy, Mack Wilson channeling his inner Fred Warner, the Seahawks coming for “Thursday Night Football” (ARRIVE EARLY), Calais Campbell playing like he's 29 not 39, and Dani's unique story from this week's picks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 925 - So, first it was Sean Murphy-Bunting, then Starling Thomas and now Garrett Williams, who on Wednesday landed on injured reserve. On top of that, Will Johnson missed practice because of a groin injury. The cornerback depth is being tested. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what the plan may be moving forward, beginning Sunday in San Francisco. Will that mean more opportunity for Kei'Trel Clark and Denzel Burke? What about Darren Hall, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad? Or does the responsibility fall on the front seven? Also, Craig and Dani look ahead to the matchup against the 49ers - Is Brock Purdy going to play? How do you slow down Christian McCaffrey? - and explain why the NFC West is the best division in football.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals are 2-0, and while there might be things to talk about getting better, how does that not leave Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck stoked for what's to come? Regardless, the trio discuss how the Cardinals can find a way to finish strong, a defense that played well most of the game despite the final score, the cornerbacks injuries and how Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rallis can solve what issues come from that, Josh Sweat's home debut, the storybook return of Calais Campbell, a touching segment of Getting Cultured, the expectations for MHJ, upgrading run production, a stunning episode of The Wise Guy, the NFC West and what the 49ers have with Mac Jones, Winning Behavior and the rising temperatures of San Jose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 922 - Yes, the Cardinals finished off the New Orleans Saints. But it was the defense and not the offense that was on the field at the end of the game. And that bothers Kyler Murray. So, what needs to happen to avoid that same scenario this week or any other week the rest of the season? Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what they hope to see out of the offense moving forward, beginning Sunday. Speaking of Sunday, the Carolina Panthers are in town. That's an opponent that has always given the Cardinals trouble, including just one year ago, a game that surprise, surprise Jonathan Gannon was willing to talk about. Remember, he never likes looking in the past. Also, news - and not good news - on special teams captain Joey Blount; Trey Benson's increased role; and what's happening around the NFC West heading into Week 2.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A harbinger of things to come? The Cardinals hope their season-opener win is just that. Why Paul Calvisi is considering meatless meatballs is anyone's guess, but he soon righted the ship with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck to chat about finishing the victory in the Big Easy, the Saints going up tempo but the Cards still playing solid defense, the Rabbit defense and all the dime looks, Will Johnson's fabulous debut, how the run game will impact the Panthers game on both sides of the ball (like last December), a new Wise Guy (Paul may have a chance …), the Kyler-to-MHJ connection trending up, Trey Benson getting caught from behind, what Bryce Young is doing, Dani gets the guys Cultured, and a look around the NFC West.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 919 - It is officially game week, the first one of the season. Coaches are excited. Players are excited. And you know Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck are excited, joining the rest of the Bird Gang. There's just something different about Week 1. Perhaps even more so this year given the expectations so many have for the 2025 Arizona Cardinals. With the season opening in New Orleans, Craig and Dani discuss the challenges facing Kyler Murray and his teammates, from playing in a hostile environment to facing an inexperienced quarterback but backed up by an experienced playcaller; who or what position group(s) is in the spotlight on Sunday; and, speaking of Sunday, what are the other matchups involving the NFC West. Also, the first injury report of the season is out - good news, it's a short one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The season is here, so Paul Calvisi wonders if everyone should be “mean mugging” for opener. Maybe not. We're still working out the kinks - Paul might've briefly misspoke - but he and Darren Urban and Dani Sureck dive into Week 1 heading to New Orleans. What is the biggest key to the season? Is it the 2024 draft class? The trio also discuss who in the locker room makes the best protection if you found yourself in a bar full of mean-mugging undesirables, the perfect iso cam in-game, Sweaty expectations, how to handle the Saints, Calais' impact, the return of The Wise Guy, MHJ's completion percentage, McBride's TDs, the Rivalry uniforms, Winning Behavior and a frosty Superdome press box.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals have a roster. Sounded like a good idea for Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck to talk about it. Our beloved trio chat about the Bam Knight surprise, Walter Nolen's PUP, Josh Fryar making his roster push (and the high school highlights of Darnell Dockett and Derrick Henry), Xavier Thomas' big play to stay, all those defensive backs on the roster, Will Hernandez being ready to practice and his potential role, Clayton Tune's future, Getting Cultured (including a certain NFL engagement), what Trey Benson/Dante Stills/Mack Wilson Sr. have in common, and a nearly forgotten Winning Behavior.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 917 - By 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon teams must reduce their rosters to no more than 53 players. For the Cardinals, that process has already begun. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss what's happened - the initial waive of cuts - and what might happen. Plus, Craig and Dani talk about who might've helped themselves with their effort and performance in the preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. Several players stood out on Saturday night including running back Michael Carter, wide receiver Simi Fehoko and outside linebacker Xavier Thomas. There are tough decisions to be made for sure, a lot of tough decisions, and that is exactly what you want if you're GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dani joins us from Denver to talk about the Cardinals-Broncos joint practice and preseason game 2.

Is Paul a kingpin? He probably won’t bowl you over with his answer. But he, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck do have points to make about the Cardinals opening the preseason. The trio talks about Kyler’s first preseason game since 2021, that interception everyone was talking about, the point of getting a feel of live action in the preseason, Murray “enjoying” himself, the meaning of MHJ and McBride’s catches, Trey Benson with young David Johnson vibes, the joint practice in Denver, a preseason version of Wise Guy, Will Hernandez’s return, improving in short yardage, A.Q.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One more episode out at State Farm Stadium before camp breaks, and it's all leading into the first game of the preseason. That means Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have plenty to discuss, including the first depth chart, James Conner and Trey Benson and the idea of co-RB1s, what could/might/should be done with wide receiver depth, a timely Getting Cultured segment, the outer-space ceiling of Paris Johnson Jr., the timeline on BJ Ojulari, Will Johnson's Winning Behavior, and where Kyler is ranked among the NFC West QBs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We can't help it if Paul Calvisi can't handle melting a marshmallow, although we can put it on TV. We can also let Paul join Darren Urban and Dani Sureck as the trio talk straight from State Farm Stadium about a week of training camp, including the first padded practice of the season. Among the topics: the snaps doled out at inside linebacker, how the Starling Thomas V injury impacts the cornerbacks, Hjalte Froholdt's ascension, A.Q. Shipley as Cardinals' new color analyst, Paul's breakout players (they might surprise you), Getting Cultured with Dani (without the intro, alas), and Winning Behavior, along with Trey McBride and a  strong tight end room, MHJ impressions, and what they want to see before the first preseason game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The expectations, though, for 2025 are real. And not just locally. Nationally as well. Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck following Sunday's training camp practice at State Farm Stadium. Among the topics discussed were the Kyler Murray-Marvin Harrison Jr. connection, a much-improved defense – at least on paper – and where the Cardinals are positioned within the rest of the NFC West. Also, Craig and Dani discuss the season-ending knee injury for Starling Thomas; what it means for him and what it means for the team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 902 - One of the bigger questions heading into training camp has been answered. And answered by the man himself. Following Thursday's practice, the first open practice of #CardsCamp, Mack Wilson Sr. confirmed he'll be calling the defense this season. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss Wilson's new role, new responsibilities and what it may mean for the rest of the defense. First though, Craig and Dani detail a very scary moment when defenders J.J. Russell and Kitan Crawford collided trying to break up a pass. Russell had to be carted off the field and was sent to a local hospital for further testing and continued evaluation according to the team. Practice ended early.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the players report to training camp, Paul Calvisi comes prepared with his annual mustache, which may or may not make it a week. The Cardinals, meanwhile, have a month to show they are worthy of the 2025 roster, and Darren Urban and Dani Sureck join Paul to talk the heavy competition that should come in Year 3 of J.G. Also on the topic list: Paul's hot take bubble, Jonah Williams' health, the fate of right guard, Will Johnson's immediate impact after signing, the players most worth watching at camp, Josh Sweat's trajectory, Winning Behavior (iconic movie props and canoodling), as well as a farewell to Tyrann Mathieu, a great Cardinals draft pick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 900 - After an eventful offseason, the Arizona Cardinals will report to State Farm Stadium for training camp this week. Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman discuss which position battles they will have their eyes on once practices begin out in Glendale. Plus, the two talk about Garrett Williams taking more of a leadership role in a young cornerback room; is the right guard position Isaiah Adams' job to lose; how many defensive linemen will make the final 53-man roster; and how will the wide receiver room take shape behind Marvin Harrison Jr.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Arizona Cardinals are running it back with nearly the same offensive personnel that they had in 2024. But with Kyler Murray, James Conner, Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr., this unit has all the tools to be successful in 2025. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Rob Fredrickson take a deeper look at the offense and who else will need to step up, particularly in the receiver room. Plus, the trio discuss Garrett Williams' ascension to not only the top of the Cardinals cornerback room, but to being one of the best corners in the NFL. Also, we take a look around the NFC West and gauge what the Cardinals' division rivals have done this offseason heading into the 2025 season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As training camp creeps closer – a week away! – Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck will soon have lots to opine about. But before that, for a final time, we go the speculation route as our trio break down their predictions in each of three categories: a player prediction, a game prediction, and a statistical prediction. What are the parameters? Well, there aren't many guardrails, so the talent has a lot of room to roam. We hear about Michael Wilson, Josh Sweat and Kyler Murray, and as for the rest … you just gotta listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Social media has infiltrated our lives, but it wasn't always that way. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck go round robin to discuss, from the time the Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1988 to the emergence of social media around 2010, what non-football events, what non-sports events, and what Cardinals events in that time period would have been interesting to see play out on social media in real time. The Cardinals moments are all memorable anyway, but some of them could've been bonkers at the time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As our country's birthday arrives, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck talk about what freedoms the Cardinals might have this season and how that could impact the season. How much freedom will DC Nick Rallis have in rushing four to get to the quarterback? How much freedom will Kyler Murray have to run the ball – or what freedom will Drew Petzing have to call some plays. The trio also discuss how free the Cardinals will be to exercise a deep passing game, and what will be the look at cornerback or will the Cardinals be free to sign a vet?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have questions before training camp? The Cardinals Underground crew has answers. Paul Calvisi, Dani Sureck, and Zach Gershman (filling in for the vacationing Darren Urban) discuss key topics like cornerback depth, the inside linebacker battle, Isaiah Adams' chances at right guard, Kyler Murray's prime, expectations for edge rusher Josh Sweat, Calais Campbell's return and Trey McBride's involvement in Tight End University. Plus, we save time for Getting Cultured with Dani, Paul's Power Poll of Ineptitude, and a few examples of winning—and not-so-winning—behavior.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 896 - If you're wondering how Trey McBride is spending his summer break, then you might want to check out Nashville. He, along with teammates Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman, is at TE University, a week-long event that brings together tight ends from around the league. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the value of TEU, as well as the Sack Summit in Las Vegas, where Calais Campbell, BJ Ojulari and Darius Robinson are joined by the game's top pass rushers. This is how players, despite being away from their respective teams, get ready for training camp. Also, have you checked out this week's Mailbag on azcardinals.com?
