Podcast appearances and mentions of dani sureck

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.

Ep. 904 - Ask head coach Jonathan Gannon about expectations for the upcoming season or what a successful year looks like and he answers that he's process driven, emphasizing how his team just has to improve daily. 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.

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.

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.

Crabs in a bucket? Not for lunch, and not in the defensive line room either. That's something Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck chat about in this week's minicamp-has-begun podcast, which lends itself to asking just what kind of role Walter Nolen III will have by season's beginning. Also among the topics: Kyler Murray's abilities when he finds space on the field and broken plays, additional motion to the offense, Kelvin Beachum's message to a team in win-now mode, Getting Cultured with a newly-wed NFL QB, Myles Garrett's potential addition to his “graveyard,” a QB room with Kyler and Jacoby, third downs with Marvin, Winning Behavior and Paul's flex reaction at the gym, Wolf and his cottage cheese, and a farewell to Gardeck the Barbarian.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 891 - More points. Less turnovers. Of course, that's the easy answer. But what else might ‘efficient' look like, and, by the way, that's the word Jonathan Gannon used when talking about the offense going into this upcoming season. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck have their own thoughts on what to expect from an offense that is running it back from a year ago, at least in terms of personnel. Also, on the eve of mandatory minicamp, what, and maybe better said, who do Craig and Dani want to see on the field? Will there be anything shown over the next three days that give hints as to what the 2025 Arizona Cardinals might look like both offensively and defensively? This is the final week of work before the start of training camp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Cardinals go through their second week of OTAs, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck might have a couple of zingers for each other, but that's to be expected in this highly competitive environment. It's the launching point to discuss the meaning of attendance in voluntary work, a visit by Kenny Dillingham, the foolish idea that J.G. is under pressure, allowing defensive backs to challenge pass catchers in camp, the idea the offense will level up with more motion, a new Out Of Context, what Gannon seeks in guys being in shape; Walter Nolen III's progress, Nick Rallis' options with his new defensive line, how other teams are running Cardinals' schemes, a new Winning Behavior and the “QB mentor,” and Saquon and the Madden Cur… er, cover.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Arizona Cardinals have a dynamic rushing attack with the likes of James Conner, Trey Benson and even quarterback Kyler Murray. How much will the offense rely on the running game this season? Dani Sureck, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss the potential of a full season with the one-two punch of Conner and Benson; week two of OTAs starting and what can be gained from these practices; what Darius Robinson needs to do to take the next step in his career; Plus, the trio take a look at some players who we haven't seen a lot of on the field and whom of those may make an impact this season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 889 - The Cardinals will be back out on the practice field this week as Week Two of OTA's are set to begin. What do we want to see? What are we expecting to see? Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman give their thoughts. Plus, the two discuss the depth at offensive line and how the starting line might look come Week 1; what offensive coordinator Drew Petzing had to say about Kyler Murray's unscheduled runs; and how the Cardinals offense is poised to take the next step in 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 887 - The Cardinals are back on the field as Phase Three begins with the start of OTAs. Paul Calvisi, Dani Sureck and Zach Gershman fill the shoes of the vacationing Craig Grialou to discuss what stood out to them the most from the first practice; what a Year 1 to Year 2 jump can look like for Darius Robinson; the new look defensive line as a whole; who will challenge for the starting right guard position; Drew Petzing's thoughts on the continuity of his offense; and Paul learns what epsom salts are.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we hit all the graduation days around the Valley, sure, you'd think Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck will be friends forever. First, they podcast this week to discuss the arrival of OTAs, Sean Murphy-Bunting's absence and how the cornerback situation looks without him, Will Johnson's chances at starting, the underrated and the underappreciated on the Cardinals roster, Dani gets everyone cultured, Darius Robinson's importance (and BJ Ojulari too), the authenticity of upcoming position battles, the meaninglessness of Kyler's rankings, MHJ's needs, zombies in Winning Behavior, and how international games impact all fans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's heating up outside and that means that the Cardinals are getting ready for Voluntary OTAs to begin. Dani Sureck, Paul Calvisi and Drew Stanton discuss how important this time of year can actually be for a team and what both sides of the ball can accomplish out on the practice field. Plus, the trio talk about expectations for Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr. and the rest of the offense as well as the competition at cornerback and which of the young players will need to step up in 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 886 - It's called Phase 3, when teams can line up offense against defense. Still no contact but practice looks more like football. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck preview the start of organized team activities, better known as OTAs for short. How much do we see of the newcomers, whether that's Josh Sweat or Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson? What about those players who we didn't see a lot of in 2024 like BJ Ojulari, Justin Jones and Bilal Nichols? Do we get an idea of who the team likes at right guard? Is there a wide receiver who emerges? Also, Craig and Dani discuss the Cardinals and Broncos holding a single joint practice ahead of their preseason game in Denver and the latest from the Spring League Meeting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Darren Urban acerbic and caustic? Never. (Or maybe never a doubt.) But that's what Paul Calvisi and Dani Sureck deal with as our trio discuss Marvin Harrison's new physique and how that (and other things) can help him improve in his second NFL season, the consequences of a back-loaded schedule, a preseason practice in Denver, if Jonathan Gannon might adjust his preseason playtime philosophy, the Niners paying their guys and Brock Purdy in particular, the NFC West early handicapping, Getting Cultured about schedule release content, flag football in the Olympics, more Winning (and non-winning) behavior, Budda Baker and the Cardinals growing closer, and a touching story about Paul's early days as a gym guy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 884 - And now we know the when. The Arizona Cardinals schedule is out. It was released with much fanfare – more on that later. The who and the where have been known for months and on Wednesday, we got the when. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi dive into the 18-week, 17-game schedule. What do they like? What do they not like? How many primetime games did the Cardinals get? When is the bye week? And how many ‘revenge' games are there? (Yes, Paul is keeping track.) Now, about the fanfare. “Rocketship,” aka inside linebacker Mack Wilson Sr., rapped the schedule. That's right, rapped. To hear the song and to see the video, visit the Cardinals YouTube page or download the audio by searching Arizona Cardinals Music on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Schedule release is upon us, and while there will be a 5 p.m. Wednesday surprise along with your dates and times, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are here to tackle the big picture topics – like how did the Vikings get two international games and another team (say, the Cardinals) didn't get one? Also in the discussion: potential Thanksgiving games, the greeting card industry, the importance of when you play an opponent, Mack Wilson Sr.'s charity hoops game, a new Getting Cultured, the “perfection” of rookies this time of year, the best camp battles to come (hint, a lot on defense), this week's Winning Behavior, and a highest speed limits around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 882 - It's been a busy two days for Jordan Burch. He, and the other rookies, arrived Thursday. Then Friday the seven-player draft class and six undrafted free agents gathered on the practice field for the start of rookie minicamp. In addition, Burch added a stop in the radio studio to speak with Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck about his time at Oregon, expectations for Year 1 with the Cardinals, learning the playbook, first impressions of the coaching staff, reuniting with high school teammate Xavier Thomas and the differences he sees between putting his hand in the dirt versus standing up on the edge. Also, Craig and Dani discuss what they saw while they were allowed to watch the rookies practice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's audio-only version of the podcast - the video crew is *busy,* people - Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck lament the incoming 100-degree days. But they also discuss who ended up with the best uniform numbers of the players that just got them, Larry Fitzgerald's first-ballot quest for the Hall of Fame, another edition of Out Of Context, the WR2 talk and why Amari Cooper's name keeps coming up, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s big Year 2, Drew Terrell's underrated analysis of the wideouts, A “Who Will Spread Their Wings” power poll, what rookies get out of their minicamp, Winning Behavior, the NFL draft spots, and Paul's quest to become a meme.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, we are opening with a mention of Valentin Senn, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck quickly turn their attention to the Cardinals' draft class and what it all entailed. The discussion included the thought process of the Cardinals during their trade in the fifth round, Denzel Burke and why they were OK with the opportunity cost; collecting all those cornerbacks and what the battle will be like in the secondary; the benefit of getting both Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson, two guys considered first-rounders pre-draft; what Johnson can be; a Belichickian episode of Getting Cultured; the Shedeur saga; Cody Simon's chances to start; Jalen Milroe's winning behavior; and Paul updates the power poll of incompetence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 877 - Four picks on Saturday. Seven picks overall. Nearly every pick, six, went towards the defensive side of the ball. Yes, the real winner of the 2025 NFL Draft is defensive coordinator Nick Rallis; so many new toys to play with, and don't forget about all the defensive additions in free agency. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi – it's another Cover 3 edition – talk about the most recent selections: Ohio State inside linebacker Cody Simon (fourth round, 115th overall), Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward (fifth round, 174th overall), Texas offensive lineman Hayden Conner (sixth round, 211th overall), and Nevada safety Kitan Crawford (seventh round, 225th overall). Also, the three discuss what GM Monti Ossenfort and assistant GM Dave Sears had to say about the seven-player draft class.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 876 – On Friday, the Cardinals doubled down on defense in the 2025 NFL Draft. Again, are we surprised? OK, maybe a little, but defense has been the team's MO all offseason. Craig Grialou, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi – call it Cover 3 – talk about the selections of Michigan cornerback Will Johnson (second round, 47th overall pick) and Oregon Edge rusher Jordan Burch (third round, 78th overall pick). For those keeping track, that's three defensive players in the first three rounds. Also, what did GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon have to say about Johnson and Burch, why they were the picks; why Monti didn't decide to trade down despite offers; and JG explains why Walter Nolen III is already off to a great start.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 874 – Why was Walter Nolen III the selection with the 16th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft? In a word, disruptive. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman are back to further discuss the defensive tackle out of Ole Miss. First, they are joined by former Cardinals linebacker Rob Fredrickson; why he likes the addition, what it means for the defense. Later, Craig and Zach are joined by Dani Sureck; call it Cover 3 for the rest of the show. Dani gives her thoughts on Nolen; why the pick made so much sense, how Nolen fits inside a crowded defensive line room. Also, Dani shares her conversations with GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon; both of whom she spoke with immediately after Nolen was announced as the pick by the Commissioner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The draft is upon us, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are open for business. Are the Cardinals? We will see if GM Monti Ossenfort is dealing on draft weekend again, but first Paul checks to see if our crew lights the lamp with good points. The trio talk about the power poll of draft needs (and how it impacts the first round), whether a middle linebacker could get into the mix of consideration, the latest episode of Out of Context, potential trading down for the Browns at 2 or the Giants at 3, who would be the one at 16 for each of our hosts, Roy Green's history as a Travis Hunter two-way player, Getting Cultured with Dani about the Boston Marathon, the draft party at State Farm Stadium, and NFL's week in Green Bay.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 870 – It's become an annual spring tradition: the pre-draft press conference. GMs, and often head coaches, meet with the media and answer questions ahead of the NFL Draft. A lot of words are spoken, but not a lot is said. To put it another way, no one is going to tip their hand or show their cards. Everything is kept very close to the vest.
