    Cardinals Cover 2 - One More Chance To Impress
    2025/08/20
    Ep. 916 - It’s a big week around the NFL. It’s the final week to make evaluations. And for the Arizona Cardinals, the final evaluation happens this weekend or more specifically, Saturday night at State Farm Stadium. The preseason finale sees the Cardinals host the Las Vegas Raiders. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman look ahead to the game and discuss who they want to see play. (FYI, as of Wednesday, head coach Jonathan Gannon hadn’t said if the staters will play; Craig and Zach are assuming they won’t.) The guys put the spotlight on several different position rooms, starting with cornerback. Also, there are a handful of undrafted rookies who have played well throughout training camp and the preseason. Can they do it one more time?

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - ‘A Lot To Learn From’ Preseason Game, Joint Practice In Denver

    Cardinals Cover 2 - ‘A Lot To Learn From’ Preseason Game, Joint Practice In Denver
    2025/08/19
    Ep. 915 - Let’s be honest, it was a tough watch Saturday night. The Cardinals concluded their four-day stay in Denver with a less than stellar performance against the Broncos, losing 27-7 in Week 2 of the preseason. Paul Calvisi was there in the Mile High City. He joins Craig Grialou to discuss the game, where not much went right offensively or defensively - special teams, though, was a positive - as well as the joint practice on Thursday. Key takeaways: Jacoby Brissett looks regular-season ready, Semi Fehoko stood out in his Cardinals debut, and a handful of young linemen - Jeremiah Byers and Josh Fryar on the O-line and P.J. Mustipher on the D-line - flashed, but was it enough to make the final 53-man roster? Also, Jonathan Gannon wants to see better “basic fundamentals of football” this week, the last week before roster cuts.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey McBride, Offense Have ‘Really Good Day’ In Joint Practice With Denver Broncos

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey McBride, Offense Have ‘Really Good Day’ In Joint Practice With Denver Broncos
    2025/08/14
    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.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Darren Hall Among Those Who Stood Out In Preseason Opener

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Darren Hall Among Those Who Stood Out In Preseason Opener
    2025/08/11
    Ep. 913 - First and foremost, no injuries. Second, they got a win. Third, several players had good performances. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look back at Saturday’s preseason opener, a 20-17 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs from State Farm Stadium. Dani, by the way, had a unique vantage point for the game. She was on the sideline, working on the TV broadcast. What did she see? Who stood out to her? Again, a lot of players flashed from running backs Trey Benson and Emari Demercado to wide receiver Xavier Weaver and cornerback Darren Hall. And as you’d expect, there was a lot that needs to be cleaned up. Turnovers. Penalties; especially at the start of the game. All in all, though, a good effort and first impression in front of the Bird Gang.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport: This Team Is Ready To Win
    2025/08/07
    Ep. 912 - As training camp wraps up, it’s clear - and clear to everyone, locally sure but nationally especially - the pieces, meaning the players, are in place to have a successful season in 2025. For one last time, Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman are at #CardsCamp. And what a way to finish. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport joins the show. The guys get his thoughts on Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon going into Year3, Kyler Murray going into Year 7, the addition of Josh Sweat plus where Ian sees the Cardinals’ place within the NFC West. Also, Craig and Zach give their big takeaways, and perhaps some key questions answered, after two weeks at State Farm Stadium.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Rabbit Has Hopped Into The Picture With Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Rabbit Has Hopped Into The Picture With Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson
    2025/08/07
    Ep. 911 - If two is good, then three has to be better, right? The three-safety look has been seen more times than not during training camp at State Farm Stadium. Will it be seen in the regular season? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss why defensive coordinator Nick Rallis likes Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson and Rabbit Taylor-Demerson on the field at the same time and why maybe Rabbit has forced Rallis’ hand based on how he played last season. Plus, Craig and Zach agree with Jonathan Gannon’s new approach to the preseason, meaning the starters will play; and what or who stood out in what was the final open practice – a padded practice, by the way – of #CardsCamp on Wednesday.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Arizona Cardinals Took ‘Right Approach’ To Run It Back Offensively

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Arizona Cardinals Took ‘Right Approach’ To Run It Back Offensively
    2025/08/04
    Ep. 910 - The quarterback. The wide receivers. The running backs. The offensive line. Plus, the play caller. They’re all back. And that’s a good thing, according to Gilberto Manzano, NFL staff writer for Sports Illustrated and The MMQB. Manzano joined both Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman during his visit to #CardsCamp late last week. The guys get Manzano’s thoughts about Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr., and the Drew Petzing-coached offense; the additions made to the defense, signing Josh Sweat and Calais Campbell plus drafting Walter Nolen III and Will Johnson; and where he sees the Cardinals positioned within “a tough to predict” NFC West. Before the conversation begins, though, Craig and Zach look ahead to Saturday’s preseason opener.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Will Johnson INT Highlights Red & White Practice
    2025/08/03
    Ep. 909 - Great atmosphere on Saturday. The annual Red & White Practice at #CardsCamp attracted a record turnout at State Farm Stadium. Fans are definitely excited about the 2025 Arizona Cardinals. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman go over some of the highlights; which players stood out during what was a second straight padded practice and the fourth one this week. Also, the guys provide updates to injured wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson - spoiler alert: it’s all good news - plus they react to James Conner’s comments post-practice about him and fellow running back Trey Benson; Conner believes, and without hesitation, the two are both ‘RB1’ in this offense.
