Ep. 1051 - The run game opens up so much; it opens up the pass game, it opens up the red zone. Right now, though, the Cardinals haven’t had much of an efficient run game. Yes, they’ve had their moments but consistent play from the run game is what’s needed. Craig Grialou and J.P. Shadrick discuss where the Cardinals’ run game is at through six games. Plus, Craig and J.P. talk ball-control offense, the heavy use of ‘13’ personnel - by the way, it’s National Tight End Day on Sunday - Legends Weekend, the Vance Joseph-coached defense of the Broncos, and look at some of Bo Nix’s passing numbers (spoiler alert: they aren’t good.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sure there are a bunch of alternative broadcasts planned for the Super Bowl, but there is only one Cardinals Underground with Craig Grialou, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck. On the week where the Cardinals will retire Larry Fitzgerald’s No. 11, our trio get into the Cardinals getting to 2-0 at SoFi Stadium, Ryland’s six-pack of scores, working through the red-zone issues, Jacoby Brissett’s steady play, Jeremiyah Love’s status and Knight goes Bam, a Wise Guy dominance, an excellent defensive performance, 2-point laterals, Getting Cultured, and that favorite Fitz chant: LAR-RY, LAR-RY.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 213 - Los Cardenales regresaron de Los Ángeles con una victoria de 18-16 sobre los Rams, gracias a una gran actuación defensiva y seis goles de campo de Chad Ryland. En este episodio de La Tacleada, analizamos los ajustes de Nick Rallis para frenar a Matthew Stafford, el desempeño de la ofensiva y las dificultades para anotar touchdowns en zona roja. Además, miramos hacia el próximo duelo contra los Broncos de Denver y hablamos de la celebración de Larry Fitzgerald, quien será homenajeado este domingo durante su ingreso al Anillo de Honor de los Cardenales.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cardinals secured their second win of the season behind a gritty performance from the defense and special teams unit. Craig Grialou, Zach Gershman and former Cardinals linebacker Rob Fredrickson examine a dominant defensive showing led by Budda Baker and Mack Wilson Sr., Nick Rallis' aggressive game plan, and Chad Ryland's clutch six-for-six kicking performance, including the walk-off field goal to seal the win. The crew also discusses the offense's ability to sustain long drives and protect Jacoby Brissett, while breaking down the red-zone struggles that left Arizona settling for field goals on all five trips inside the 20. Plus, the Cardinals turn their attention to the Denver Broncos and a special home game celebrating Larry Fitzgerald, who will be inducted into the team's Ring of Honor and have his No. 11 jersey retired at halftime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 1050 - By himself Chad Ryland outscored the Los Angeles Rams, which was stifled by a Nick Rallis-led defense for nearly four quarters on Sunday. The result: a Cardinals win, 18-16, the team’s first since Week 1 and the first against an NFC West opponent since 2024. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck look back at the victory, beginning with Ryland’s heroics before turning their attention to Rallis’ gameplan, focusing on the play of Mack Wilson, Budda Baker, and Josh Sweat among others; plus, Craig and Dani discuss how well the offense performed between the 20s - Jacoby Brissett, Jalen Brooks, and Bam Knight each stood out - while acknowledging the red zone-execution needs to be better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 1048 - Don’t discount being back home. Don’t discount new Dad strength. OK, maybe not the main reasons but they are certainly some reasons when explaining the play of Roy Lopez so far this season. Quietly, Lopez is having a very good season, trending towards a career year. Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez discuss what they’ve seen from the Tempe, AZ native. (And hear Jesus’ call of Lopez’s first-quarter sack of Jared Goff from the Arizona Cardinals Spanish-language broadcast.)

Ep. 1047 - Things happen fast in the National Football League. Case in point: this past weekend. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck dive into the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade, from their surprise to the bizarre way in which it was reported to ultimately the compensation received. Then, Craig and Dani break down what happened Sunday, a 45-21 home loss to the Detroit Lions. Once again, the Cardinals started fast on both sides of the ball; the first quarter saw the defense play nearly flawless football. But as was the case the week prior in New York, the offense struggled to sustain drives and score points, while the defense struggled to keep Jared Goff and company out of the end zone. In other words, not good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 1046 - For three seasons Nick Rallis and Drew Petzing worked together as the coordinators for then-head coach Jonathan Gannon. The two were also on the same staff in Minnesota a few years back. In other words, they are very familiar with one another. Whether or not that gives one an advantage over the other this week when the Cardinals host the Detroit Lions won’t be known until late Sunday afternoon. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what Rallis’ defense will face in the Petzing-coached, Jared Goff-, Jahmyr Gibbs-, Amon-Ra St. Brown-led Lions offense. Plus, they are joined by Matt Dery from the Locked On Lions Podcast to further break down the Week 5 matchup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
