Podcast appearances and mentions of darren urban

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.

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. 923 - Last season. And five times in the last six seasons overall. For whatever reason, the Carolina Panthers have not been a favorable matchup. But that's going to change this season, right? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to Sunday's game at State Farm Stadium. What's it going to take for the Cardinals to win their home opener and improve to 2-0? And are there any lessons learned from those past meetings? Hey, we know Jonathan Gannon is not a fan of looking in the past, but not Craig and Zach. Their discussion includes heading into enemy territory. They're joined by Darin Gantt, who covers the Panthers for panthers-dot-com, and that conversation has a run-in by Darren Urban; that's right @Cardschatter makes an appearance.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.

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.

Wolf and Kellan Olson discuss if Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt can be first round NFL draft pick and AZCardinals.com senior writer Darren Urban joins the show.  

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this special edition of The Big Red Rage, Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban present a memorable installment of Cardinals Folk Tales. They rewind to 2003 and revisit the unforgettable Nate Poole moment — when the Arizona Cardinals stunned the Minnesota Vikings in the final week of the season, knocking them out of playoff contention. The episode explores how that dramatic play not only impacted the Vikings but also became a pivotal chapter in Cardinals history.

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.

Let the information flow from Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck as the offseason program ends and the consideration of Kyler Murray in his prime continues. Also up for discussion, how many rushing yards Murray might have, the chemistry he will have with Marvin Harrison Jr. and others, Trey Benson as the other RB1, Trey McBride possibly leading the team in catches again, a probable increase in kickoff returns, what the numbers of the 53-man rosters might be. Dani also gets the guys cultured, and before Paul forgets, there's some Winning Behavior too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 893 - Seven weeks. From the start of the offseason strength and conditioning program to the final day of minicamp. Whether it was on the field or in a press conference setting, what were the top takeaways? Craig Grialou and Darren Urban - before Darren goes on vacation - discuss what stood out to them; a lot of talk about the offense, counting on wide receiver as is, adding extra ‘sauce' as Trey McBride explained the pre-snap motion that has been worked into the scheme. Defensively, youth is really served at cornerback after the season-ending injury to Sean Murphy-Bunting, and why not, especially given the amount of draft capital invested in the position. Also, there are no worries that Will Johnson has yet to sign his first NFL contract.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. 890 - His individual numbers may not jump off the stat page, but Zaven Collins brings more than just numbers to the defense. He brings versatility. More importantly, he's earned the trust of both head coach Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis. They see value in Collins more so than perhaps fans and many in the media. Craig Grialou, back from vacation, and Darren Urban discuss Collins' importance to the team. Also, how often do Craig and Darren expect to see Josh Sweat on the field this season, especially given recent comments by Rallis? Finally, the guys shout-out Dennis Gardeck, who after seven seasons in Arizona is reportedly joining the Jacksonville Jaguars.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.

Ep. 718 - Rookie offensive lineman Hayden Conner is confident in his abilities, but he's humble enough to know that his path to NFL success won't be an easy one. The Cardinals' 2025 sixth round selection joins Paul Calvisi to discuss his days playing for the Texas Longhorns, meeting Matthew McConaughey, his early childhood dream of becoming an aerospace engineer and with that, does he believe in aliens? Conner also talks about his mentality as OTAs begin and how he's ready to do whatever is asked of him to help the team. Plus, Calvisi is joined by Darren Urban to explore what Darius Robinson's second season could look like and the sense of urgency for the Cardinals to get back to the playoffs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 888 - As OTAs continue to roll along for the Cardinals, the conversation surrounding the team's depth continues to be discussed. Zach Gershman and Darren Urban (yes, you read that correctly) talk about the latest on Cardinals Cover 2. With the arrival of Jacoby Brissett, what does that mean for Clayton Tune in the backup quarterback competition? Can Trey Benson take that sophomore season leap even while James Conner plays at a high level? Also, Zach and Darren share which player from the 2024 draft class they are most eager to see take a step forward.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.

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.

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.

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.
