Cardinals Underground

Oh dear, Craig Grialou is already putting up Christmas trees at home, but to each his own. Darren Urban and Dani Sureck aren’t judging. They are, however, chatting with Craig about Jeremiyah Love landing on IR, new quarterback depth chart and Minshew Mania, what happens now with Carson Beck, the trade deadline approaching and how active the Cardinals might be, Tyler Allgeier and the beat-up running back room, Michael Wilson’s busted ribs and brilliant play, the resiliency in Dallas, Wise Guy with drama, what to do at wide receiver, Hjalte Froholdt and a cheese wheel, Getting Cultured, and looking to Seattle.

Craig Grialou takes it right to Dani Sureck’s FOMO by bringing up some Frankenstein mashup food items at the Texas State Fair, but hey, it’s all done out of love and hunger.

Our trio tackles those topics, as well as the hope for more pass rush, the meaning of the Seattle fumble that turned into a Seahawks momentum shift, the defense trying to hang in, Josh Sweat’s production needs, what the passing game/offense looks like (and just what is the proper sequence of DEFCON, anyway?), the MHJ conversation, Wise Guy romp, Dewey Wingard’s impact, Getting Cultured, and Dani’s 5 years in.

It was a tough morning for Darren Urban before recording the pod this week; changing flat tires stinks.

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?

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.
