Cardinals Underground

Don’t worry - the stock of Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck is up, even if no other stock is, as our trio dive into yet more (odd) draft speculation, the craziness of draftees being mocked all over the place from 5 to 50, a new Out of Context, Calais Campbell and the DL depth and whether it impacts the draft and/or development, picking wants vs. needs in the Cardinals draft, some of the players who have taken “30” visits to Tempe, Trey McBride’s giant new contract, what McBride’s role will be/continue to be, to hurdle or not to hurdle, Mike McDaniel’s shine for JG and the Cardinals’ defense, Winning Behavior and a 25-second anthem note, the possibility of a first-round trade, and Paul lights up a room.

Back from the NFL owners meetings - and from the breaking news that came out when he was 35,000 feet in the air on his return - Darren Urban joins Paul Calvisi and Dani Sureck to talk about the return of Calais Campbell and what it means for this newly minted defensive line. But that’s just the start of topics, which include the veteran leadership the team has collected, the Cardinals’ chances in the NFC West, what might happen with the draft (and the D-line), wide receiver or corner early as a pick, a tush push update, your Getting Cultured with Dani, JG and BMI, getting a speed receiver, and Darren’s totally ***not**\* Winning Behavior.

It’s list season, or so Paul Calvisi tells us, so he asks Dani Sureck and Darren Urban to list off some things: How many QBs could go in the first round, how that could impact the team’s first-round pick, the odds Monti Ossenfort might trade – back, or maybe up – in the first round, what that position might be, and what reasons might the Cardinals need (or not) another receiver. Plus there is an Out of Context segment, Getting Cultured, potential breakout players for the Cards this season, Winning Behavior (or not when it comes to gold-plated toilets) and Paul’s cheese fatigue. It was cheese, right Paul?

We try not to shed any tears for the semi-retirement of Ron Wolfley, but the trio of Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have fairly good memories about Wolf, as well as the just-completed Scouting combine. Our trio reconvenes in person to chat about the mosh pit coming to the new Nashville stadium, combine buzz about Matthew Stafford staying and Aaron Rodgers moving, players who do or don’t work out in Indy, quality over quantity search for the Cardinals on the D-line, Cam Skattebo’s draft stock, an impromptu Wise Guy from Paul of all people, a lot of (non-)Winning Behavior, and positions the Cards might seek in free agency.

With the Super Bowl in the rear view, there is change coming right now, even beyond the NFL. But there won’t be any penny-pinching from Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck as they read and react about the Super Bowl and some of the Cardinals’ connections. The trio chat about all the wagering on the game, the burgeoning TV ratings, Cardinals cornerback Max Melton and his Gucci belts, the price tag for running backs after a crazy good RB year, what the Cardinals can learn from the Super Bowl, that new Fox scorebug, your weekly Winning Behavior, more Getting Cultured with Dani, a peek at what’s going on around the NFC West, and salad complaints.

The Super Bowl is coming, it’s Waste Management Open week in Phoenix, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are in the studio trying to figure out - for discussion purposes only - how some of these prop bets might turn out. The Cardinals have coaching moves reportedly happening (and incoming help have ties to certain players and fellow coaches), while the in-your-face statements of certain high-profile stars makes you wonder what the Cardinals would look like if they find a way to star up the pass rush. The offensive line seems as possible with that first-round pick as the defensive line, there is much to chat about what might be Winning Behavior this week, Luka trade NFL equivalents, and the guys absorb the first day of Getting Cultured with Dani.
