Players are dealing with the end of OTAs and the rise in Arizona temperatures - but JG says it's good for the plasma. Meanwhile, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck have an air-conditioned studio to talk about the inspiring story of rookie Xavier Thomas and the outside linebacker room, BJ Ojulari's stride work, the impressive upgrade of the defensive line, the need(?) to sign a veteran cornerback, Greg Dortch's potential, whether our trio would pick a gold jacket or a ring, the need for Kyler Murray to be great, and Darren's ineffectiveness as a parent.

NOW PLAYING audio Cardinals Underground - OTAs Are Still In Vogue As May comes to a close, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck don't need any artificial intelligence to spark up their newest podcast.

NOW PLAYING audio Cardinals Underground - OTA Vibes Are Immaculate Hope everybody had their coffee break - or some other beverage, depending on your status - because Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck are back for this week's Underground. The vibes feel pretty good around the Cardinals' OTAs right now, a nod to the veteran leadership and the culture being built, although winning must come sooner rather than later. Other topics include how connected the team feels right now, the "mandatory mindset," Kyler Murray's big offseason, Paris Johnson's long-awaited move to left tackle, BJ Ojulari's number change and potential hope, Zaven Collins' last piece of his puzzle, practice in Indy, and the critters of Australia.
NOW PLAYING audio Cardinals Underground - Battles Coming For Roster Spots With the schedule on deck, Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck wonder about when they will be in which cities, but more importantly, they also wonder about what the team that will play those games will look like. The trio covers Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first workouts, what the wide receiver room will look like in the end, Greg Dortch's place, leaning on the run game, Kyler Murray's chance to have a full offseason with his teammates and his hosting of a trip with teammates to Oklahoma, the biggest positions of battle, and Monti Ossenfort's blunt message to last year's rookies (and the culture of roster battling.)
NOW PLAYING audio Cardinals Underground - Casting A Wide (Receiver) Net While Paul Calvisi celebrates a highly drafted punter in the NFL, he joins Darren Urban and Dani Sureck and they all acknowledge punting is not a bad play.

NOW PLAYING audio Cardinals Underground - Marvin Harrison Jr., Draft Bounty, And Eggplant Parm What is your feelings about an Italian restaurant? Paul Calvisi had strong feelings about his eggplant parmesan as he, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck talk about what the Cardinals got in their 12-pick draft, including what their first interactions were like with Marvin Harrison Jr. Among the other topics: Paris Johnson reuniting with his buddy, the "patterns" the Cardinals have in their picks, the improved defensive line room and Darius Robinson, intriguing off the edge with Xavier Thomas, how the tight end and running back rooms have changed, so many cornerbacks battling it out, and the potential 18-game season.
NOW PLAYING audio Cardinals Underground - Accountable During Draft Week Paul Calvisi wants to hold Darren Urban accountable - and Dani Sureck may just be an innocent bystander - on the latest Cardinals Underground. That's important during draft week, when a trade could still happen (only when the Cardinals are on the clock, because that is common sense), as teams who might want to trade up are considered, how there are no "fair" trades this high in the draft, when the Cards need to consider what makes sense with 27 and 35, how fans have loved MHJ, when comments are close to the vest right now, and when the 20th anniversary of the Larry Fitzgerald 2004 draft has arrived.
NOW PLAYING audio Cardinals Underground - The Boys Are Back In Town It's trivia time for Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck, so PC tries to stump the panel - and somehow, that leads us into the show. There is still the latest national conversations about what will happen in the draft and what the Cardinals might do, the trade possibilities, what positions the Cardinals need and when, the depth of receiver in this class and what it might mean, adding future draft picks, the players coming back into the facility for the offseason program, Trey McBride's bright future, Kyzir White's return, Paul and his gloves, and the welcoming Sureck family home.
