The guys break down every team in the NFC West, AFC West, and the Big 12 Conference ahead of the 2026 season, covering records, coaching changes, free agency moves, the 2026 draft class, and what's on the schedule for each squad.   We start in the NFC West, where the Seattle Seahawks enter as defending Super Bowl LX champions after knocking off the Rams in the NFC Championship and topping the Patriots in the title game. Can the Rams regroup and get back to the Super Bowl after that heartbreaking loss? Are the Seahawks built to repeat? We also dig into what the Mike LaFleur era looks like in Arizona as the former Rams offensive coordinator takes over his first head coaching job, plus the 49ers' latest quest to finally get over the hump.   From there we shift to the AFC West, one of the deepest divisions in football. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs missed the playoffs for the first time in over a decade — we break down what the plan looks like for 2026. The Chargers and Broncos round out a stacked division alongside a brand-new-look Raiders regime led by new head coach Klint Kubiak, fresh off winning it all as Seattle's offensive coordinator, and No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.   We close it out with a Big 12 Conference preview. Texas Tech enters as the defending champs looking to become the first team since 2020 to repeat, while Oklahoma State is starting over after firing longtime head coach Mike Gundy just three games into last season. The transfer portal reshuffled rosters across the league, from Provo to Morgantown, and we break down who's positioned to make a run.   Subscribe to Korner Booth for more previews, hot takes, and everything happening across the football landscape all season long.   #KornerBoothPodcast #NFL #NFLPreview #AFCWest #NFCWest #Chiefs #Seahawks #Rams #Cardinals #49ers #Chargers #Broncos #Raiders #KlintKubiak #FernandoMendoza #Big12 #CollegeFootball #TexasTech #OklahomaState #MLB2026 #BellyUpSports

Ep. 1028 - OK, it's early, and it doesn't count. But this offense has been fun to watch, and maybe more importantly, the players are having fun. So, what does it mean moving forward?

Ep. 1027 - As good as the offense looked Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers, that unit - whether it was Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew or Carson Beck at quarterback - struggled on Sunday.

Ep. 1026 - The talent is there. Players like Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. plus newcomers Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier and Kendrick Bourne. Again, a lot of talent. That's not the question. Just how that talent meshes with Jacoby Brissett, the offensive line and Mike LaFleur as the playcaller is the question. And that's fair. Recently, Gilberto Manzano from Sports Illustrated and The MMQB visited Cardinals training camp. He sat down with Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman to discuss all the individual talent in Arizona, the need to be more efficient in the run game, the hope that Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson are key building blocks on defense, and, oh yeah, running into Jason Sudekis at the airport.

Ep. 1022 - It's early in his tenure as head coach, but already Mike LaFleur has made it known what he feels is the best way to evaluate players. In pads, playing 11-on-11. In other words, his words, “real football.” For the second straight day at training camp, the Cardinals practiced in full pads. Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez discuss what they saw, in-between all the laundry on the field. Yeah, a lot of flags thrown by the officials, due to penalties on both sides of the ball. Jeremiyah Love continues to impress - he was the first name Jesus mentioned; Marvin Harrison Jr. bounced back from a difficult practice the day before; and Carson Beck may have had his best of work, closing with a touchdown pass to Bryson Green who made a diving catch in the end zone to finish a successful 2-minute drill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 1021 - It looked a little more like football on Tuesday. For the first time at Cardinals training camp, the pads were put on - no more passing camp as head coach Mike LaFleur described the work done in the offseason and first handful of days at State Farm Stadium. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what they saw, from Budda Baker setting the tone early, barking at the offense to Jeremiyah Love and Trey Benson, in his first 11-on-11 work of camp, showing off their speed, footwork, and physicality. Oh, and a practice wouldn't be complete without a diving catch by Michael Wilson on a great deep ball from Jacoby Brissett, who took over first-team duties at quarterback.

Wolf and Luke discuss their initial thoughts of Mike LaFleur after meeting him in person for the first time and Arizona Diamondbacks assistant general manager Mike Fitzgerald joins the show.

Ep. 1020 - Let's be honest: Not much is expected from the Arizona Cardinals in 2026. That seems to be the consensus, both locally and nationally - but certainly not shared by those players in the locker room. Still, when looking at the roster, it's hard not to notice the talent, especially on offense. Playmakers like Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., and now Jeremiyah Love have many talking about the potential and the possibility of what it may look like under the direction and guidance of new head coach Mike LaFleur. Recently, NFL Network reporter Omar Ruiz visited Cardinals training camp. He and Craig Grialou chatted it up about the offense, what needs to happen defensively if the team hopes to surprise, and playing in what is a juggernaut of a division in the NFC West.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 1019 - Sunday marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The Cardinals and Jacoby Brissett reached agreement on a new contract. Later, Brissett, much to the happiness of his teammates, participated in his first 11-on-11 work of training camp. If things continue to progress, “the plan,” according to head coach Mike LaFleur is for Brissett to start Week 1 at the Los Angeles Chargers. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react to the news and what both Brissett and LaFleur had to say. Then, Craig and Zach turn their attention to what happened during the second open practice, which saw the defense win early - Walter Nolen III looks really good, by the way - before the offense, thanks to some big-time catches by Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr., finished on a high note.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 1018 - Day 2 of Cardinals training camp and the first day open to fans; that always brings a little more excitement. The headline, of course, is quarterback. Yes, Jacoby Brissett is practicing, but how much is he participating? And when Brissett is not under center, who is and with which unit? Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck talk about what they saw from the quarterbacks as well as the rotation at running back. Also, Craig and Dani highlight some of the top plays made by players such as Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Max Melton, who really flashed on Friday. There's also discussion on how well BJ Ojulari has looked, why Josh Sweat is starting camp on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) and Mike LaFleur's philosophy on fighting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The episode also features an in-depth interview with veteran cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, who shares his excitement about returning from injury, transitioning back to the slot, the culture inside the Cardinals' locker room, and why he's optimistic about the defense and LaFleur's "spicy" new offense heading into the 2026 season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Know Your Rival series rolls on to the team most Seahawks fans admittedly care the least about beating - the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona finished 3-14 last year, lost 14 of their final 15 games, and ran a defense that gave up more than 6,000 yards. So what did the Bidwills actually do about it? They fired Jonathan Gannon (now coaching in Green Bay), handed the keys to first-time head coach Mike LaFleur, spent the #3 overall pick on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, and for some unknown reason decided to reach on a third-round quarterback nobody wanted. It's hard not to view their offseason as anything but a disaster. They're carrying $73 million in dead money, low-balling Jacoby Brissett after he started 15 games for backup pay, and now their own director of college scouting is suspended for leaking insider information and betting on football games. Could all this disfunction ultimately lead the team to land Arch Manning with the first pick? We break down exactly how close to zero that chance really is. In the second half of the show, we've got some real Seahawks news. Our team has officially been sold, and we go through everything we know about the new ownership group. Plus we get into the backup quarterback battle that is "making news," Julian Love's push for real grass at Lumen Field and what it would take to get there. Finally, we close a Do Better call outs for the Cardinals Ring of Honor embarrassment and recognize Grey Zabel for two separate points in a recent interview this past week.
