Podcasts about Lafleur

Ryan and the After Dark crew get into it on a night where the frustrations are running high and the callers aren't holding back. From the Cameron Achord special teams hire to Matt LaFleur's maddening habit of going conservative with a lead, nothing is off limits — and the phone lines are loaded with takes. Uncle Rico kicks things off breaking down the Achord hire and why the new special teams coordinator's track record raises real questions TJ from Alabama delivers a sharp analogy about LaFleur wanting to eat healthy but ordering cheese curds — perfectly capturing the coach's gap between aggressive talk and cautious play-calling Nico from Idaho champions "big beefy men" and sparks a conversation about why measurables don't always matter if a guy is just a good football player Garrett calls in with a passionate salute to Ryan's recent Bisaccia breakdown, and Ryan opens up about a rough day and why these calls mean more than people realize If you're tired of conservative play-calling, questionable staff grades, and coaches who talk aggression but coach scared — this one's for you. Plus, stick around for movie talk about Limitless and that weird Matt Damon shrinking movie. #Packers #PackernetAfterDark #GoPackGo #GreenBay #NFL #MattLaFleur #CameronAchord #PackersTalk This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The phones are ringing and Packer Nation is fired up. Tonight's After Dark dives deep into the growing anxiety around this roster — from Brian Gutekunst's drafting track record to the bombshell NFLPA player survey that has Ryan seeing red about the coaching staff narrative we've all been fed. Callers and Ryan hash out the butterfly effect of recent draft decisions, including the Van Ness over JSN debate and what the offensive line failures mean for Jordan Love's elite clean-pocket ability The NFLPA survey results spark a heated rant about Bisaccia's supposed "beloved" status and LaFleur's surprisingly low player ratings — and the gaslighting from insiders who swore the locker room loved them Honest assessment of the roster thinning out: losing Quay Walker, Emmanuel Wilson, potentially Elton Jenkins, and what it means when you're replacing faster than you're building Caller suggestions for new segments, Bears fans coping with the Soldier Field situation, a BBQ care package update, and a push to get Colin on the show for his draft takes This is the unfiltered, late-night conversation Packers fans need right now.

The explosive plays myth gets dismantled — great offenses produce big plays, not the other way around, and LaFleur still hasn't figured that out Micah Parsons vs. Isaiah Simmons becomes a masterclass in why "he can play everywhere" is a red flag, not a selling point The new special teams coordinator hire gets an early look, and the résumé raises some eyebrows Matthew Golden's usage remains baffling when destiny is literally staring this team in the face Stop sleeping on the draft tools — build your board, track your takes, and get ready for draft season at NFLDraftGrades.com.

Ryan hits the microphone in a raw, unfiltered state after seeing the latest organizational grades drop — and what starts as a temperature check on the Packers roster turns into a full-blown reckoning with the direction of this franchise.

Ryan unloads on the Packers' inability to develop draft picks and the troubling trend of building through free agency like "garbage teams do" Matt LaFleur's leadership comes under the microscope — liked by everyone, but will players actually go to war for him?

The Bears are inching closer to leaving Illinois, and the Packers have a culture problem that no single player can fix. Ryan breaks down the stunning collapse of the Bears-Illinois stadium negotiations after Chicago canceled a meeting with Governor Pritzker, while Indiana rolls out the red carpet with a fast-tracked Hammond stadium bill. Then he digs into a Romeo Doubs interview that reveals something uncomfortable: even the players don't fully understand what went wrong last season. The Bears stadium saga takes a dramatic turn as Indiana passes a 24-0 vote for Hammond while Illinois gets ghosted by their own franchise Romeo Doubs admits he still doesn't know what happened during the late-season collapse, pointing to game planning and energy as key failures Ryan makes the case that signing Micah Parsons inadvertently drained the team's collective belief and created a fragile, star-dependent identity A detailed blueprint for how LaFleur and the coaching staff must rebuild culture around standards, distributed ownership, and genuine belief rather than bumper sticker slogans If you think the Packers' problems are about talent, think again.

Ep. 978 - Two new coordinators and one familiar face were officially introduced Wednesday, as head coach Mike LaFleur presented his staff: Nathaniel Hackett (offensive coordinator), Nick Rallis (defensive coordinator), and Michael Ghobrial (special teams coordinator). Hackett and Ghobrial are new to the Cardinals, while Rallis will be entering his fourth season in charge of the defense. All three sounded enthusiastic. All three are eager to get to work. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they heard from each of the coordinators: Hackett is ready to serve as a sounding board for LaFleur, Rallis is grateful to be able to run it back after some self reflection, and Ghobrial believes “special teams is the purest form of football.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and former Cardinals linebacker Lorenzo Alexander break down Mike LaFleur's first major moves as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, including the hiring of his coordinators and the continued construction of his coaching staff. The group discusses what those decisions reveal about LaFleur's overall vision and what he prioritizes on both sides of the line of scrimmage, which players are poised to benefit most from his offensive system, and why linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. could be a critical piece to the defense's success in 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Mike LaFleur the next great offensive minded head coach to come from the Sean McVay coaching tree. Is he ready for the "Big Chair"? We break down LaFleur's rocky history with the Jets, his role with the Rams, and why Cardinals fans are rightfully nervous about a head coach with zero experience at the helm. Is this a vision for the future, or are we watching history repeat itself in the desert?Not to mention, the Kyler Murray situation. We exercise some different scenarios and possible landing spots.

Make room for Fitz in Canton! Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi, and former Cardinals linebacker Rob Fredrickson react to the news of Larry Fitzgerald being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Ep. 976 - It's the first full week for Mike LaFleur as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. And as of Monday, he hadn't yet hired a staff, at least not officially. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the reported move of Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator and the different names reportedly linked to the defensive coordinator position. Putting a staff together is job one for LaFleur, who outlined what he's looking for in a staff, in personnel and in a team in separate 1-on-1 conversations with Craig and Dani late last week; both of which are now available on azcardinals.com and the Cardinals YouTube channel. First though, Craig and Dani give their thoughts on Super Bowl Sunday; no the game wasn't great, but that Seattle Seahawks defense certainly impressed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gutey finally stepped to the podium — and he's furious. Tonight's After Dark crew breaks down every signal from the GM's press conference, from his refusal to blame injuries for the five-game collapse to his thinly veiled frustration with the coaching staff. Mike Hebring leads the charge, arguing that the real takeaway isn't about corners or special teams — it's that the organization knows something went seriously wrong, and hard conversations have already happened behind closed doors. The callers keep the energy rolling. Ben from Minnesota pitches Iowa's Kaden Wetjen as the ultimate return specialist, and the PFF numbers back it up — 26.8 yards per punt return with three touchdowns and zero muffs. Jared asks about signing Rasheed Shaheed in free agency to finally fix the return game. Bill from South Carolina drops a Civil War analogy comparing LaFleur to McClellan. Nico debuts a poem about beefy linemen and Lombardi's law. Aaron brings back the ukulele with a coaching staff anthem fueled by a couple cold ones. And Beer Cheese voices what every fan is feeling — how can the front office not know the problem when we can see it from our couches? Ryan closes with an honest ultimatum to the organization: if you won't give us transparency, fine — but then you better deliver results. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Cardinals fans are excited about Mike LaFleur.

The guys are together in Los Angeles to break down Super Bowl prop bets, from the coin toss and national anthem length to MVP chaos, Gatorade colors, and whether the Patriots might not score a touchdown at all.

The phones are ringing off the hook as Packer Nation processes the Jonathan Gannon hire as defensive coordinator. Is he the innovative fire-starter this defense desperately needs, or just another recycled name that fails to inspire? The callers aren't holding back tonight. The crew dives deep into what Gannon's reputation for intensity—including that story about punching a player—could mean for a defense that's been soft. Beer Chief Benny makes the case that Green Bay needs an ass-buster who won't tolerate the nonsense anymore, while Kyle from Madison breaks down why this might actually be the smart, low-ceiling-but-high-floor hire LaFleur needed. Plus, Rasheed Walker gets arrested at LaGuardia Airport for a weapons declaration gone wrong, the guys geek out over the possibility of McCarthy and Rodgers reuniting in Pittsburgh, and Ryan drops a brutally honest take: you can't draft your way out of underperformance when Xavier McKinney, Josh Jacobs, and Rashawn Gary all played below expectations. The talent is there—someone just needs to unlock it. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review. Hit us up on social media and let us know your take on the Gannon hire.
