The weather is rough, but that just makes Paul Calvisi think about how the Cardinals need their own flurry of football as the Packers come to town. That'd be a nice way to snap a four-game skid by a total of nine points. Paul discusses such things with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck, as well as how an NFL season is more than one season, the Cardinals' battle to find a way to finish, the power rankings of what would be needed if there was a magic wand fix, the non-MHJ receivers stepping up, Dani culturing the guys, how the defense finds a way to make one crucial stop, when Kyler returns, getting back to normal on The Wise Guy, the power of Big Play Trey, Winning Behavior, and the historical importance of graveyards.

PC is joined by Darren Urban and Dani Sureck to discuss the cornucopia of events that led to the result, the idea of finishing but also not letting it be that close, some pigskin-related Getting Cultured, Will Hernandez's successful return, the idea of letting K1 cook and the resurgence of the newest Indiana Jones, that Demercado drop, a memorable edition of The Wise Guy, Will Johnson comes back, Winning Behavior, Flacco to the Bengals, and Dani's upcoming reunion with the Colts' mascot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
