In this jam-packed episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy breaks down the Arizona Cardinals' latest crushing defeat at the hands of another NFC West rival. The Cardinals were not just beaten—they were thoroughly embarrassed, and Alex Clancy dives deep to unpack what this loss really means within the bigger picture of the organization’s ongoing rebuild.
The show begins by contextualizing the Cardinals’ collapse since the bye week, highlighting the alarming trends of being blown out by divisional opponents and the hard reality that, despite new resources poured into the defense, the team continues to fall further behind the competition. Alex Clancy dissects the recurring offensive struggles, focusing on the team’s inability to run the football, the ripple effect it has on the defense, and how it exposes both sides of the ball. He underscores how concerning it is when a backup quarterback becomes the leading rusher and describes how drive after drive stalls, putting even more pressure on an already depleted defense.
The coaching staff comes under the microscope as Alex Clancy debates the fate of Jonathan Gannon, Drew Petzing, and Nick Rallis. He presents both sides with nuance—exploring whether the staff deserves another year due to the unprecedented injury issues, or if the team should move on after such overwhelming defeats. The episode thoughtfully weighs the impact of injuries, questioning whether they’re a legitimate reason for the Cardinals’ woes, or just a convenient excuse.
As the conversation turns to the coming offseason and potential changes, Alex Clancy empathizes with the fans, acknowledging their patience and dedication amid years of disappointment. He candidly shares his own perspective as someone embedded in covering the team, and reflects on just how demoralizing the current state of the franchise is for everyone involved.
Throughout, listeners will get insight into:
The devastating impact of the run game’s collapse
The consequences of continual short drives and defensive fatigue
The organizational crossroads for the coaching staff
How injuries have clouded any fair assessment of the season
Honest thoughts on what’s next for the team and its supporters
Whether you’re clinging to hope, calling for sweeping change, or searching for answers in the midst of a tough season, this episode delivers a thoughtful, engaging, and brutally honest evaluation of the Cardinals' situation. Let's discuss.
