    Cardinals Cover 2 - Around The NFC West: It’s A ‘New-Look’ Team In San Francisco
    2025/07/07
    Ep. 898 - Yes, Brock Purdy remains the quarterback. Christian McCaffrey – healthy, by the way – is firmly entrenched at running back, and George Kittle is, well, George Kittle. Still, there will be a lot of new faces on the San Francisco 49ers in 2025. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman continue their annual offseason tradition of looking around the rest of the NFC West. Next stop: San Francisco. Craig and Zach are joined by Matt Barrows, who covers the 49ers for The Athletic. Among the topics the guys discuss: the overhaul of the defense, starting with its coordinator and remodeled D-line (sound familiar, Bird Gang?) Also, the wide receiver room is “a concern” and why it was important to lock up Purdy, Kittle and Fred Warner to long-term contract extensions.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 – Around The NFC West: QB, WR Changes In Seattle

    Cardinals Cover 2 – Around The NFC West: QB, WR Changes In Seattle
    2025/06/30
    Ep. 897 - Last year, the Seahawks made a coaching change. This offseason, they’ve shaken things up even more—bringing in a new quarterback and wide receivers. In short, the 2025 Seattle Seahawks will look quite different. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman kick off their annual offseason tour around the NFC West, starting with Seattle. They’re joined by Seahawks.com senior reporter John Boyle to break it all down. Topics include the arrival of quarterback Sam Darnold, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak—and what their presence means for an offense that still features its top two running backs. On defense, Seattle returns 10 of 11 starters, including Cardinals nemesis Leonard Williams, and has added veteran pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence. The trio also looks at which of the Seahawks’ 11 draft picks could make an immediate impact.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Big Play Trey (McBride) At TEU
    2025/06/25
    Ep. 896 - If you’re wondering how Trey McBride is spending his summer break, then you might want to check out Nashville. He, along with teammates Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman, is at TE University, a week-long event that brings together tight ends from around the league. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the value of TEU, as well as the Sack Summit in Las Vegas, where Calais Campbell, BJ Ojulari and Darius Robinson are joined by the game’s top pass rushers. This is how players, despite being away from their respective teams, get ready for training camp. Also, have you checked out this week’s Mailbag on azcardinals.com? Dani answered your questions – and explained her answers on the show – about Kyler Murray, the offensive line, and what might the final 53-man roster look like.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Arizona Cardinals Among Most Improved Teams

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Arizona Cardinals Among Most Improved Teams
    2025/06/23
    Ep. 895 - Given all the defensive additions, whether via free agency or the draft, it’s hard not to list the Arizona Cardinals among the most improved teams from last season. At least on paper. And here in June. What happens between now and when the season begins in September is anyone’s guess. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi – who thankfully made it to work after replacing a dead car battery – discuss where the team has improved the most; who among the second-year players they’re expecting the most improvement; why they aren’t surprised Will Johnson is predicted by some to make the all-rookie team; and why Jonathan Gannon said he wants more ‘friction’ in training camp.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey Benson: Arizona Cardinals ‘Can Have Two RB1s’ In 2025

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Trey Benson: Arizona Cardinals ‘Can Have Two RB1s’ In 2025
    2025/06/18
    Ep. 894 - Is it possible? Of course. Is it realistic? Good question. The Cardinals do like to run the ball, and if they can play from ahead more times than not, then Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman see no reason why to disagree with Trey Benson’s outlook on the season ahead for him and James Conner. Plus, Craig and Zach see plenty of benefits of having two starting-caliber running backs. Also part of Wednesday’s show, how former high school teammates Jordan Burch and Xavier Thomas are once again helping one another both on and off the field. And speaking of off the field, players spent a lot of time together away from the facility in the offseason. Will that matter in the regular season?

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Offseason Takeaways, What Has Been Learned

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Offseason Takeaways, What Has Been Learned
    2025/06/16
    Ep. 893 - Seven weeks. From the start of the offseason strength and conditioning program to the final day of minicamp. Whether it was on the field or in a press conference setting, what were the top takeaways? Craig Grialou and Darren Urban - before Darren goes on vacation - discuss what stood out to them; a lot of talk about the offense, counting on wide receiver as is, adding extra ‘sauce’ as Trey McBride explained the pre-snap motion that has been worked into the scheme. Defensively, youth is really served at cornerback after the season-ending injury to Sean Murphy-Bunting, and why not, especially given the amount of draft capital invested in the position. Also, there are no worries that Will Johnson has yet to sign his first NFL contract.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Josh Sweat ‘Can Impact The Game’ In Different Ways

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Josh Sweat ‘Can Impact The Game’ In Different Ways
    2025/06/11
    Ep. 892 - There’s no question Josh Sweat can get after opposing quarterbacks. It’s why he was targeted in free agency and ultimately landed a sizable contract to leave the east coast for the desert southwest. But that’s not all he can do, or will be asked to do with the Arizona Cardinals. Sweat is a three-down linebacker. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what that means within the defensive scheme, Sweat reuniting with Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rallis plus how Sweat is embracing his role as being the guy on defense. Also, what is the latest on injured outside linebacker BJ Ojulari and what wide receiver Greg Dortch said on Wednesday that had many taken aback, including Craig.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - What Might A More Efficient Offense Look Like?

    Cardinals Cover 2 - What Might A More Efficient Offense Look Like?
    2025/06/09
    Ep. 891 - More points. Less turnovers. Of course, that’s the easy answer. But what else might ‘efficient’ look like, and, by the way, that’s the word Jonathan Gannon used when talking about the offense going into this upcoming season. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck have their own thoughts on what to expect from an offense that is running it back from a year ago, at least in terms of personnel. Also, on the eve of mandatory minicamp, what, and maybe better said, who do Craig and Dani want to see on the field? Will there be anything shown over the next three days that give hints as to what the 2025 Arizona Cardinals might look like both offensively and defensively? This is the final week of work before the start of training camp.
