Cardinals Underground

It was a tough morning for Darren Urban before recording the pod this week; changing flat tires stinks. But of course Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck provided the proper sympathy, before our trio get into the football at hand: Jacoby Brissett’s new contract and all that encompasses the narratives around the likely QB1, Jeremiyah Love’s rookie status and how that somehow got sideways for no good reason, Carson Beck’s slow roll, an always entertaining Getting Cultured session with Dani, mailbag question of the week, and a call for fans to send in their best Fitz memories (to askdarren@cardinals.nfl.net) for next week’s episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the eve of training camp Craig Grialou, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck come together to discuss the key questions. You know, the ones like what will happen at quarterback, Brissett’s situation, Carson Beck’s timeline, how the running back room will shake out, what Chase Bisontis can be right away, a new Getting Cultured (have you been Shreked?), Max Melton and the cornerbacks, what the defense will do with Nick Rallis and a new head coach, how to evaluate a pass rush, and their favorite junk foods.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Craig Grialou, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck return from vacation, there are things to catch up on, like the departure of Dave Pasch and what he meant over his 24 seasons. Meanwhile, as training camp draws near, our trio talk about the ongoing conversation of QB1, Jacoby Brissett’s situation and workouts with teammates, Carson Beck’s contract, a question of what under-the-radar player should be watched, a plea for reading (and reading comprehension), Cardinals on the top 100, Trey McBride’s 99, Aaron Donald’s potential return, Dani gets us cultured, Erling Haaland as an NFL player, and a shoutout to a longtime fan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With training camp just a couple of weeks away, Craig Grialou, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck figure it is a great time to break out some predictions for the upcoming season. Are they Nostradamuses? Is that even a word? Ah, regardless, whether they are bringing up Walter Nolen III, Trey McBride, BJ Ojulari or even Fitz, these are the things to bank for now and break out the shame sticks when and if they are wrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s nothing like a riveting game of What If, as Darren Urban pitches five scenarios to Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck and our trio chew on those possibilities and all the different things they could ultimately mean for the Cardinals. Will there be a Jeremiyah Love situation considered? Why yes, yes there will be. There are no right answers here, only possibilities. Kind of like one of those old Choose Your Own Adventure books.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
