Cardinals Underground

Paul Calvisi isn’t about being on time, but he’s all about the temperature - he’s on to Cincinnati. OK, first there is the Falcons and the last home game of the season. Chatting with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck, the trio talk the trajectory of Trey McBride and what he could be if he keeps playing like the best tight end in the league, the Falcons and their weapons, the solid play of the inexperienced offensive line, Getting Cultured, what we are watching the last three games (Nolen, CBs, OL), the injury-ravaged RBs, a Wise Guy that chases waterfalls, J.G.’s look to the future, Winning Behavior, and Darren’s Twitter derailment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, Paul Calvisi is talking about the Purge movies again, but there is a reason - could this be the year where the NFL postseason purges all the annual favorites? Mayhaps. In any case, he joins Darren Urban and Dani Sureck to discuss that first drive against the Rams (and what came next), Michael Wilson’s epic games continue, dealing with Puka, facing the talented Texans defense, the current Cardinals offensive identity, Paul’s new favorite ep of Getting Cultured, Kyler gets shut down, an amazing Wise Guy, Houston as a road venue, some college football (non-)Winning Behavior, Cardinals on the Pro Bowl list, and a deserving Walter Payton MOY pick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did Paul Calvisi culture Dani Sureck about Landman? (The TV show. Not the Rams linebacker). Yes, yes he did. Meanwhile, Darren Urban joins the two to talk about about parallels with the Cardinals’ close losses, Darius Robinson’s postgame comments, players stepping up to take accountability, Josh Sweat’s great season, remembering (kinda) Simeon Rice, going to the aging dogs on Getting Cultured, Trey McBride’s excellence, Jacoby Brissett’s late-night texts, snickering at Wise Guy, non-Winning Behavior from the college coach culture, Puka v Mike Wilson, and Carson Palmer’s coaching acumen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not that Paul Calvisi begrudges anyone else who wants to enjoy a parade, but he’d rather not have to go to his local version somewhere hidden in the Valley he’d rather not say. Fret not. Darren Urban and Dani Sureck get his mind off of such things by talking about the Cardinals’ upcoming trip to Tampa, the chance of seeing Baker Mayfield play, dealing with another close loss, learning how to win, the explosive emergence of Michael Wilson, Getting Cultured, the cornucopia of takeaways against Jacksonville, seeking reps down the stretch for Nolen, Will Johnson and other young players, a blowout Wise Guy, the health at running back, Winning Behavior, Fitz takes another Canton step, and talking about what might be found in the kitchen on Thanksgiving.

Paul Calvisi isn’t sure he is ready for his script this week for the pod, but of a bigger concern is Darren Urban’s energy. Dani Sureck tries to help them both wrangle their issues as the trio discuss the Cardinals needing to hone in on details, penalties hurting against the 49ers but not the whole problem, the fine line between the defense being put in bad spots and the unit still needing stops, the breakout game of Michael Wilson and what it means, Getting Cultured with Vine-loving Dani, the Jaguars and what they bring to town, a Wise Guy that makes Paul want to break stuff, BJ Ojulari’s return, and Darren’s issues with dogs in the mall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
