Cardinals Cover 2

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 936 - It’s been a little while - OK, a long while - since Walter Nolen III has been on the field. The Cardinals’ first-round draft pick had his practice window opened on Wednesday, allowing him to be on the field with his teammates for the first time since the offseason. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss Nolen’s return, including when he might play. Craig and Zach also touch on Darius Robinson coming back to practice; Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. being limited participants at practice; and Kelvin Beachum’s role now that Travis Vokolek has joined Tip Reiman on injured reserve; plus, the Melton brothers, Max and Bo, get reunited on Sunday and Mack Wilson Sr. is doing something no other player is doing through six games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
