  • Cardinals Cover 2 - QB1, RB1, Mike LaFleur’s Philosophy On Fighting Plus First Open Practice Notes
    2026/07/25
    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.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Drafting Offensive Linemen Always A Shrewd Move
    2026/07/13
    Ep. 1016 - It’s said all the time: Build through the trenches. And if one were to look back at the past drafts of Monti Ossenfort since his time as Cardinals GM, then that is exactly what has been the goal. The trend continued this year with the selection of guard Chase Bisontis out of Texas A&M in the second round and tackle Jayden Williams out of Mississippi in the seventh round. Craig Grialou introduces both players before giving way to Paul Calvisi, who recently caught up with each of them individually. Hear Bisontis discuss his confidence having played in the SEC; hear Williams discuss his athleticism; and hear both discuss their time in college with Walter Nolen, who earned significantly praise from each.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 – QB Carson Beck On Confidence, Competition And What's Next
    2026/07/06
    Ep. 1015 - No position has generated more discussion this offseason than quarterback, and few players have been at the center of it more than the Cardinals third-round pick, Carson Beck. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss both Beck the person, whose confidence and humility have stood out in their early interactions with the former Georgia and Miami quarterback, and Beck the player, whose 55-game college career suggests he won't be fazed by the NFL stage. Then, hear from Beck himself as he joins Paul Calvisi to talk about his football journey, college career, and expectations heading into his rookie season in Arizona.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 – Draft Picks Kaleb Proctor And Karson Sharar Share Their NFL Paths
    2026/06/29
    Ep. 1014 – They were the only defensive players the Cardinals selected in April's NFL Draft, both coming on Day 3 after productive college careers. Defensive lineman Kaleb Proctor was taken in the fourth round, while inside linebacker Karson Sharar was selected in the sixth. Recently, Craig Grialou caught up with Proctor, the first FCS player drafted this year. After that conversation, Craig hands the microphone to Paul Calvisi, who sat down with Sharar to discuss his time at Iowa and what he hopes to accomplish as a rookie. Unfortunately, both players dealt with injuries during the offseason. Proctor's injury is expected to keep him out into the regular season.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Reggie Virgil, a Self-Described ‘Big Energy Guy,’ Eager to Learn
    2026/06/22
    Ep. 1013 - There’s no mistaking the smile. New Cardinals wide receiver Reggie Virgil is a happy man. He’s happy to have been drafted. He’s happy the Cardinals took a chance on him. He’s happy for the opportunity to learn from the number of talented pass catchers on the team. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman talk about their early impressions and interactions with the fifth-round pick out of Texas Tech plus what role(s) Virgil may play in his first NFL season. Then the guys hear from the man himself. Recently, Virgil joined Paul Calvisi to discuss his background, college career, how fast he really is, and why he may be “a little annoying” around Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Love The Depth At Running Back
    2026/06/17
    Ep. 1012 - It’s a good problem to have. Especially given what the Cardinals went through at running back last season. The additions of Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier have increased the depth and significantly - at least on paper - upgraded the position. Now how everything shakes out once the team breaks training camp is anyone's guess. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go in depth about running back, including how head coach Mike LaFleur may divvy up snaps and carries among the different players. From there, Craig and Zach turn their attention to what the Cardinals did to address the run defense, specifically signing Andrew Billings and Roy Lopez in free agency. It’s a run-heavy show, Bird Gang.

    2026/06/10
    Ep. 1011 - And that’s a wrap; the offseason work - the official work, anyway - is done. Nothing now until training camp. That doesn’t stop Craig Grialou and Darren Urban from looking back at what the Cardinals accomplished over the past nine weeks under first-year head coach Mike LaFleur. Craig and Darren discuss the good news like the overall health of the team, especially about what LaFleur had to say about Garrett Williams; the guys also talk about the uncertainty at quarterback, how LaFleur handles rookies, and the one position battle that’s been settled. From there, Craig and Darren speak about how many Cardinals they think will make this year’s NFL Top 100 list and whether or not they believe Calais Campbell, who has said once again “this is probably going to be my last year.”
