Cardinals Underground - ‘Stoked for 2-0,’ Calais Comeback, And A Finishing Touch
The Cardinals are 2-0, and while there might be things to talk about getting better, how does that not leave Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck stoked for what’s to come? Regardless, the trio discuss how the Cardinals can find a way to finish strong, a defense that played well most of the game despite the final score, the cornerbacks injuries and how Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rallis can solve what issues come from that, Josh Sweat’s home debut, the storybook return of Calais Campbell, a touching segment of Getting Cultured, the expectations for MHJ, upgrading run production, a stunning episode of The Wise Guy, the NFC West and what the 49ers have with Mac Jones, Winning Behavior and the rising temperatures of San Jose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Underground - Finishing A Win, Meatless Meatballs, And K1-To-MHJ
A harbinger of things to come? The Cardinals hope their season-opener win is just that.

Cardinals Underground - Mean Mugs, ’24 Draft Class, And Season’s Keys
The season is here, so Paul Calvisi wonders if everyone should be “mean mugging” for opener. Maybe not. We’re still working out the kinks - Paul might’ve briefly misspoke - but he and Darren Urban and Dani Sureck dive into Week 1 heading to New Orleans. What is the biggest key to the season? Is it the 2024 draft class? The trio also discuss who in the locker room makes the best protection if you found yourself in a bar full of mean-mugging undesirables, the perfect iso cam in-game, Sweaty expectations, how to handle the Saints, Calais’ impact, the return of The Wise Guy, MHJ’s completion percentage, McBride’s TDs, the Rivalry uniforms, Winning Behavior and a frosty Superdome press box.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
