On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives deep into the swirling rumors surrounding the Arizona Cardinals’ potential interest in Malik Willis and the latest report suggesting the quarterback could command $30 million per year on the open market. Alex Clancy tackles the logic (or lack thereof) behind this speculation, questioning whether there's a rational reason for the Cardinals—or any NFL team—to make such a move given Willis’s limited track record and sample size as a starter. He examines common arguments made in favor of Willis, such as leadership qualities and upside, and contrasts them with the realities of cap space, consistency, and team needs. Throughout the show, Alex Clancy breaks down the numbers vs. "watch the tape" debates, reflecting his frustration with the tendency to ignore stats on one end while inflating small positive moments on the other. He offers an engaging discussion comparing Malik Willis to a potential deal for Breece Hall, using it as an exercise to evaluate upside, risk, and fit for the Cardinals roster—especially when weighing exciting unknowns against proven production. The episode also features engaging tangents about the Cardinals’ offseason priorities, cap situation, and Alex Clancy's thoughts on how best to allocate resources to make the team truly competitive. Listeners are invited into the debate, with Alex Clancy encouraging feedback and open discussion, emphasizing that passionate disagreement and changing perspectives are welcome parts of the Locked On community. The episode is packed with candor, energy, and honest skepticism, making it a must-listen for Cardinals fans hungry for real talk about the team’s direction, decision-making, and what truly makes sense for the future. Whether you’re into bold hypotheticals, roster construction, or just want insight into the madness of NFL free agency rumors, this episode delivers a thorough, entertaining breakdown rooted in facts, football logic, and a little bit of much-needed reality.

In this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy concludes his “Trust/Can’t Trust” mini-series focused on the Arizona Cardinals’ defense. While last week covered what you could trust on offense and defense, today is all about the defensive position groups and coaching staff that remain unreliable as the team heads into the offseason. Alex Clancy breaks down why, despite the significant resources invested last offseason, the Cardinals’ pass rush continues to be inconsistent. He analyzes the impact of injuries to key players like Walter Nolan and Mac Wilson, discusses the lack of depth behind their lone reliable rusher Josh Sweat, and stresses the urgency to add another proven veteran and draft help to the defensive front. Next, the show shifts to the defensive back room, where Alex Clancy candidly explains why you can’t trust the group as a whole, even though Budda Baker remains a constant. With injuries plaguing nearly every starter—from Jalen Thompson and Will Johnson to Garrett Williams and Max Melton—the DB group is full of question marks. The conversation includes thoughts on possible draft additions, the need for veteran leadership, and how uncertainty affects every lineup option. Finally, Alex Clancy tackles the big question: Can you trust defensive coordinator Nick Rallis? He explores Rallis’s journey, from rookie DC to the current bridge between coaching staffs, and weighs the evidence for and against trusting his leadership. While the defense showed promise when healthy, collapses late in the season raise doubts. Still, Alex argues that Rallis’s relationships and knowledge are invaluable to the evolving squad. Packed with analysis, tough questions, and forward-looking suggestions, this episode offers fans a clear-eyed look at what needs fixing on the Cardinals’ defense and what might still be worth believing in as the team prepares for the upcoming season.

In this thought-provoking episode, Alex Clancy tackles one of the most pressing topics for Arizona Cardinals fans: Did Kyler Murray truly get a fair shot during his tenure in Arizona? Alex Clancy dives deep, laying out both sides of the argument in detail. On one hand, he acknowledges the moments where Murray shined, such as orchestrating improbable victories and driving the team to strong starts in various seasons, even with the odds stacked against him. He reviews key statistics, high points, and the impact of Murray’s presence on and off the field. But the analysis doesn’t stop at the positives. Alex Clancy also explores the significant hurdles Murray faced, including organizational dysfunction, questionable draft choices by GM Steve Keim, and the lack of elite coaching support—particularly during crucial developmental years under Kliff Kingsbury. He breaks down how missed opportunities in player acquisitions and coaching decisions may have limited Murray’s growth and stunted the team’s overall success—even questioning whether Murray improved due to his own maturity rather than guidance from the staff. Listeners can expect honest, balanced debate, covering everything from memorable game moments to failed roster moves, what makes a quarterback truly successful, and why the Cardinals historically struggle to develop star talent. The episode closes with reflections on Murray’s journey, the organization’s future, and the big “what if” hanging over this era in Cardinals history. Perfect for die-hard fans and NFL observers alike, this episode offers an in-depth exploration of Kyler Murray’s legacy in Arizona and the broader issues facing the Cardinals franchise.

In this episode, Alex Clancy takes a deep dive into the Arizona Cardinals’ defensive roster as it stands during the offseason. He explores the pressing question: "Who can you trust on the Cardinals’ defense right now?" Despite a challenging 2024 season marred by injuries and inconsistent performance—especially after the bye week—Alex Clancy spotlights the few bright spots who have become pillars of reliability on the team. He breaks down why edge rusher Josh Sweat, linebacker Mack Wilson, and safety Budda Baker are the primary defenders the Cardinals and their fans can count on going into 2025. Alex Clancy explains what makes Sweat such a valuable presence on the pass rush—even if the overall unit is still a work in progress—and discusses how Wilson has quietly become the heartbeat of the defense, especially highlighted by the epic collapse that occurred while he was sidelined. He also evaluates Budda Baker’s longstanding leadership, his value on and off the field, and the potential reality that this might be his last season in Arizona. Alex Clancy adds context around promising young players like Cody Simon, and what the future could look like if these trusted veterans can stay healthy and the Cardinals can make a few key additions in free agency and the draft. The show is packed with nuanced analysis, references to key games, honest reflections on the roster’s shortcomings, and forward-looking takes about what it will take to transform the Cardinals’ defense. Alex Clancy keeps things real, balancing optimism for the defense’s cornerstone players with the tough reality of a rebuild. If you’re a Cardinals fan seeking a level-headed perspective on the team’s defensive identity, future core, and what to hope for this offseason, this episode offers an insightful, honest, and well-structured discussion.

On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives into the latest controversy surrounding Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. Alex Clancy opens with frustration over how Bidwell continues to miss the mark when engaging with both the team and the public, illustrated by his recent comments during the groundbreaking of the Cardinals' new practice facility. While the state-of-the-art facility boasts significant upgrades—jumping from 150,000 to 250,000 square feet and moving to a new location in Scottsdale—Alex Clancy argues that Bidwell's focus keeps slipping away from football essentials to self-serving narratives, like the supposed economic impact of the project. The episode critiques how Bidwell’s priorities and soundbites often veer into the political or self-promotional, ignoring what actually matters to fans, players, and the long-suffering franchise. Alex Clancy also covers a revealing post-event interaction when a reporter asks Bidwell if he's considered appointing a team president—a move many see as essential for turning around one of the most dysfunctional and losing organizations in the NFL. Bidwell’s dismissive answer—“I am the team president. Next question.”—triggers a broader discussion on the owner’s stubbornness, lack of self-awareness, and reluctance to innovate, painting him as a petulant figure clinging to power rather than prioritizing football success. Throughout the episode, Alex Clancy calls on listeners to share their preferred show times, touts upcoming content, and delivers the usual blend of passionate analysis, humorous analogies, and direct listener engagement that defines Locked On Cardinals. The episode balances news updates, critical commentary, and relatable rants, encapsulating the ongoing challenges and hopes for the Cardinals’ future.

On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy takes listeners on a deep dive into the current weaknesses and uncertainties facing the Arizona Cardinals as the offseason begins.

He breaks down Marv’s regression, injury concerns, and what the team needs to see to trust him as a top offensive threat. The Unsettling State of the Offensive Line: While some pieces like Paris Johnson Jr. and Yalta Froholdt show promise, Alex Clancy is candid about the O-line’s general lack of depth, reliability, and quality. He urges management to invest heavily in both free agency and the draft to transform the group into a legitimate strength. Quarterback Room Uncertainty: Despite confidence in starter Jacoby Brissett, Alex Clancy explains why the backup situation remains shaky and details what the Cardinals must do to ensure stability at the position throughout the season. Offseason Strategies and Priorities: Alex Clancy outlines the player profiles and free agents who could help turn the offensive line around, and reflects on the importance of depth, smart drafting, and realistic expectations for the coming year. Audience Engagement: A call-out for listener feedback on ideal episode release times, plus an invitation to join the Everydayers Club and participate in the Discord community. Throughout the episode, Alex Clancy combines honest, critical analysis with some humor and personal reflections, ensuring fans are both informed and entertained.

On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy kicks things off by sharing the exciting news that the Arizona Cardinals have officially broken ground on their brand-new state-of-the-art practice facility, which is set to open in 2028. The episode dives into the details—location, size, features, and who was present at the groundbreaking—and explores what this major development means for the franchise. You'll hear Alex Clancy analyze whether this move is truly a turning point for the Cardinals, or simply a long overdue change prompted by recent negative PR and NFLPA report cards. He gives credit (albeit with some caveats) to Michael Bidwell for making the investment, discusses the facility’s advanced amenities, and vents about Bidwell’s habit of making everything sound overly political instead of player-focused. The show also covers how this upgrade can impact recruiting free agents and shape the future of the Cardinals organization, amid uncertainty and ongoing challenges. Plus, there’s a playful flavor draft for 5-Hour Energy, a shout-out to Locked On’s Everydayers Club, and sponsor highlights from Indeed and Ethos. This episode delivers a mix of hard-hitting franchise analysis, future-looking optimism, and practical insight into the business of football—anchored by Alex Clancy’s signature blend of humor and candor. If you want a deep dive on what the new facility could mean for the team’s trajectory, and the latest on the Cardinals’ efforts toward modernization, this is the show to catch.

On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives into the pivotal question every Arizona Cardinals fan is asking: “Who can we trust on offense heading into the 2026 season?” With the coaching staff settled and free agency looming, Alex Clancy kicks off a four-part miniseries—breaking down the core of the roster, player by player. In this first installment, he lays out the trustworthy pillars of the offense: quarterback Jacoby Brissett, pass-catchers Trey McBride and Michael Wilson, and offensive linemen Paris Johnson Jr. and Hjalte Froholdt. Through thoughtful analysis, Alex Clancy explains why Brissett’s experience, leadership, and game management make him a calming force in the quarterback room—and how McBride and Wilson proved their reliability by seizing opportunities and producing under pressure last season. He also highlights the underrated value of Froholdt at center and Johnson Jr.’s progress at left tackle, detailing their importance in stabilizing a long-struggling offensive line. Notably, Alex Clancy explores how these five (out of eleven starters) form the foundation for what the Cardinals must build on as the new regime takes shape. The conversation isn’t just about numbers—it’s about resilience, consistency, and trustworthiness. Stay tuned as Alex Clancy outlines upcoming parts of this miniseries: which players present questions or concerns on offense (coming Monday), trustworthy defenders (Tuesday), and defensive question marks. If you’re an Arizona Cardinals fan looking for an honest assessment and a path forward, this episode is your essential guide to the team’s offensive trust factors as the new season approaches.

In this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives headfirst into one of the hottest topics facing the Arizona Cardinals: with a revamped coaching staff and a roster packed with question marks heading into 2026, what matters most—maintaining flexibility with cap space, or prioritizing roster cohesion?Alex Clancy starts off by evaluating the impact of several potential cap casualties on the defensive side, including Akeem Davis-Gaither, Dalvin Tomlinson, Evan Brown, Zaven Collins, and Bilal Nichols. He challenges conventional wisdom, sparking a debate about whether keeping familiar faces and locker room stability is more valuable than freeing up cap dollars to pursue marquee talent, especially as the defense tries to bounce back from a disappointing season.Throughout the episode, Alex Clancy breaks down the nuances of player value versus salary, discusses the importance of having trusted veterans like Dalvin Tomlinson—and when it might make sense to move on from others. He explores how positional battles, injuries, and new coaching philosophies will shape decisions on roster building, questioning if a “run-it-back” approach could pay off with improved health and development.The conversation shifts to the practical benefits of cap space, highlighting how the Cardinals could potentially swell their cap room to $65 million through cuts and restructures, opening the door to veteran signings and increased flexibility. Alex Clancy weighs the freedom that cap space brings against the safety and comfort of cohesive units, laying out why he would personally retain Tomlinson while letting most others walk—though he emphasizes how early it still is, and how Kyler Murray's situation will be the first domino to fall.If you’re looking for smart, critical analysis of where the Cardinals go next, what roster construction means in the modern NFL, and how front office decisions will ripple through 2026 and beyond—this episode provides both context and perspective. Tune in for Alex Clancy’s signature blend of insight and passion about your team, every day. Let's discuss. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

This episode of Locked On Cardinals, hosted by Alex Clancy, dives deep into the turbulent state of the Arizona Cardinals organization following the introduction of Mike LaFleur as head coach. The show opens with the perplexing behavior of owner Michael Bidwell, who did his usual introduction but abruptly vanished from public view, sparking concern and speculation among fans and media alike.Alex Clancy explores Bidwell's pattern of retreating from the spotlight whenever things go poorly for the team, citing the recent NFLPA report card that questioned Bidwell's commitment to building a competitive franchise. The episode highlights Bidwell's history of disappearing acts, especially during tough seasons, and contrasts it with more visible owners like Jerry Jones and Arthur Blank. There's a strong sense of déjà vu, as the current atmosphere feels eerily similar to the uncertainty right before Kliff Kingsbury was hired after another 3-win season.Despite criticism, Alex Clancy acknowledges that Bidwell did follow through on his promises over the past few years—casting a wide net for hiring, giving the GM autonomy, and spending money to improve the roster. However, as the present season collapses and uncertainty grows, his absence raises major questions about leadership, transparency, and the team’s future direction—especially with rumors swirling about potential trades and roster moves.Alongside the Cardinals coverage, the show features brief sponsorship segments from Matt Derry for Ethos Life Insurance and Alex Clancy for Indeed Sponsored Jobs, emphasizing the importance of security and efficiency, both in life and the workplace.The episode is candid, introspective, and slightly frustrated—a reflection of the host’s commitment to holding the team and its leadership accountable. Fans are urged to stay tuned as Alex Clancy promises to bring continued coverage and insights, no matter how chaotic things get behind the scenes with the Arizona Cardinals.Locked On Cardinals is your daily go-to for team news, analysis, and passionate commentary, part of the Locked On Podcast Network—the number one source for sports podcasts.

On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives deep into the biggest storyline facing the Arizona Cardinals this offseason: what will happen with Kyler Murray. With March financial deadlines looming, Alex Clancy emphasizes the urgency for the Cardinals to make a decision on Murray—whether trading him or moving on piece by piece. He breaks down the layers to this dilemma, explaining why expediency matters for shaping the franchise’s next era and allowing new head coach Mike LaFleur to begin his tenure with clarity and direction.The episode also tackles the ongoing discourse around potential quarterback options, with Alex Clancy sharing why he’s “out” on Malik Willis as a solution for Arizona. He analyzes Willis’s limited experience, potential contract demands, and how the fit doesn’t make sense with the team’s current needs and roster holes. Instead, he makes the case for sticking with Jacoby Brissett, whose steadiness and experience can provide stability as the Cardinals prepare for future draft classes.Listeners get an inside look at Daniel Jeremiah’s latest mock draft, which predicts Francis Mauigoa, the right tackle from Miami, as the Cardinals’ pick at #3. Alex Clancy discusses the perennial debate between drafting for need vs. best player available, the importance of prioritizing offensive line upgrades, and why protecting the quarterback must take precedence—even if it isn’t the “sexy” choice fans hope for.Whether you’re craving expert Cardinals analysis, breakdowns of quarterback options, or draft insight from top national pundits, this episode delivers timely commentary rooted in real team needs, fan conversations, and insider expertise.

On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy breaks down the three biggest needs for the Arizona Cardinals as free agency approaches. The coaching staff is settled, and now the spotlight shifts to rebuilding a competitive roster for 2026 and beyond.First, Alex Clancy analyzes why pass rush (edge rusher/defensive front) stands as the Cardinals’ top priority in free agency. He discusses the shortcomings from last season and explains the importance of adding turnkey talent to anchor the defense under Nick Rallis. From names like Bradley Chubb and Josh Sweat to the potential impact of veteran signings, the defensive line gets a detailed examination as Alex Clancy maps out how to complement youth in the secondary with reliable pass rushers.The conversation then pivots to the offensive line—the runner-up priority. Alex Clancy explores the value of signing experienced guards alongside young draft picks, arguing that the best chance for rookie tackles like Spencer Fano or Francis Mauigoa to thrive is flanked by veterans. He details why guard depth matters more than spending big on a journeyman tackle and how protecting the quarterback remains foundational for long-term team success.Third, the focus lands on the defensive back room. With injuries looming over key players like Garrett Williams and questions swirling around Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson, Alex Clancy advocates for bringing in veteran corners and safeties to stabilize the secondary. He speculates on possible shifts, including the idea of drafting safety Caleb Downs, and discusses the potential for both greatness and vulnerability in the DB group if health continues to be an issue.Throughout the episode, Alex Clancy explains the nuance and unpredictability of free agency, from failed veteran signings in the past to the financial strategy ahead. He wraps with reflections on injuries, roster holes, and the need for Michael Bidwell's commitment to spending, calling on the Cardinals to be strategic and aggressive as they look to return to form next season.If you're a Cardinals fan looking for a thorough, informed, and candid analysis of team needs heading into free agency, this show has it all—from the trenches to the secondary and everything in between.

In this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives deep into the Arizona Cardinals’ decision to retain Nick Rallis as their defensive coordinator, parsing through immediate fan reactions, his own initial thoughts, and the broader implications for the team’s direction. The show kicks off addressing the late-night news drop that had the fanbase buzzing and sometimes confused, hinting at both outrage and uncertainty swirling around the move.Alex Clancy walks listeners through the positives of bringing Nick Rallis back, emphasizing the importance of familiarity—both with the team’s defensive scheme and the players—while also highlighting Rallis’s willingness to innovate despite being dealt a tough hand last season. He reminds listeners that, prior to a rash of injuries that decimated the defense midseason, the Cardinals were surprisingly competitive on that side of the ball. Injuries, according to Clancy, aren’t just excuses but legitimate reasons for 2025’s defensive struggles.Transitioning to the negatives, Alex Clancy doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges ahead. He points to the team’s alarming points-allowed numbers after the bye, lost momentum, and, most critically, the lack of visible talent development among young defensive players. Naming Darius Robinson, Max Melton, and others, he underscores that 2026 will be a demanding test of Rallis’s ability to cultivate star talent, especially with no Jonathan Gannon in the room for guidance. He laments the sense that Rallis may have been the “lesser of evils” rather than a top choice, but notes the conditions of the coaching carousel and what was really gettable for the franchise.Shifting gears, Alex Clancy gives his way-too-early grade for the Cardinals’ newly completed coaching staff: Michael LaFleur (offensive coordinator), Nathaniel Hackett (assistant coach), and Nick Rallis (defensive coordinator). He methodically breaks down each hire, exploring their strengths, risks, and the dynamics—sometimes awkward—of their arrivals. LaFleur is seen as a fresh, if unproven, offensive mind shaped by a stint with the Rams, while Hackett—despite public skepticism—brings valuable experience and stability from his years in Green Bay. Rallis is painted as the wild card, with the coming season representing his first real chance to truly own the defense and stand or fall on his own terms.Alex Clancy ultimately lands on a grade in the C+ to B- range, calling it a risk but also acknowledging that expectations for the staff have to be viewed through the lens of who was realistically available. He reassures listeners, analyzes further coaching hires (such as wide receiver and quarterback coaches), and hints at future discussions—including a theory about how those hires might help key players.The episode strikes a balance between honest critique and cautious optimism, urging Cardinals fans to brace for a wild—and pivotal—offseason, while inviting them to join the discussion and stay tuned as the staff stamps their mark on the franchise's next chapter.

The latest episode of the Cardinals Squad Show, featuring Alex Clancy, Donnie Druin, and Jamil Douglas, dives into a variety of Arizona Cardinals topics, centering on coaching staff changes and organizational moves.The crew starts by discussing the return of Nick Rallis as defensive coordinator—debating the various angles on why he was retained and what it means for the defense going forward. Donnie Druin points out that while Rallis had been spoken of as a potential coaching riser before last season, the process by which he was kept was odd, considering the number of outside interviews the team held. Both Donnie Druin and Alex Clancy emphasize that if continuity and play-calling experience were the goal, the search didn’t need to be so exhaustive. They also discuss whether last season's defensive collapse was more about injuries or coaching, with the general consensus being that Rallis was provided a bit of a pass, but still has much to prove.Alex Clancy challenges the idea of familiarity as an unequivocal positive, asking if being the “pathway” between players and a new head coach might actually be a superpower for Rallis in this transition. Donnie Druin and Jamil Douglas agree that having an internal bridge can be beneficial, especially with a new regime and coaching staff.As the conversation shifts, the group assesses the overall grade for the current head coach and coordinator trio: Mike LaFleur (head coach), Nathaniel Hackett (offensive coordinator), and Nick Rallis (defensive coordinator). Both Donnie Druin and Jamil Douglas land on mediocre marks—C or C+—citing uncertainty and the sense that none of these were truly top-choice hires. They express optimism that Mike LaFleur’s experience and offensive mind could be enough to elevate the staff, but recognize that “time will tell” is the operative theme for now.In a segment on position coaches, the hiring of Tony Sorrentino as wide receivers coach and Matt Schaub as quarterbacks coach draws positive reviews. Jamil Douglas, as a former NFL player, offers perspective on the value of having a coach like Schaub, who deeply understands the receiver–quarterback dynamic, and both he and Donnie Druin note the benefit for Marvin Harrison Jr.’s development. The consensus is that these hires actually show intention and an eye toward maximizing the offense’s potential.The show wraps with talk about the new Cardinals facility breaking ground. Donnie Druin lays out the details and context—pointing out it seemed like a reactive move in response to negative NFLPA ratings on facilities, but still much-needed. Jamil Douglas underscores that while current players may not see the immediate benefits, it’s important for future free agents and draft picks. Both Donnie Druin and Jamil Douglas seem cautiously optimistic, but stress that improvements in facilities need to be matched by on-field success and smart spending, especially in the trenches.Throughout, Alex Clancy acts as the ringmaster, probing for insights and offering measured hope about the looming season, while recognizing the years of skepticism and the “arranged marriage” feeling with the assembled staff.

On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives into the Arizona Cardinals' ongoing coaching staff saga, focusing on the team's recent assistant coach hires and, most notably, the continued mystery surrounding the vacant defensive coordinator position. Alex Clancy kicks things off by breaking down the hiring of new wide receivers coach Tony Sorrentino, formerly an assistant with the Minnesota Vikings, highlighting Sorrentino’s experience working with elite receivers like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and what his addition could mean for the development of Marvin Harrison Jr. and the Cardinals’ young receiving corps. The conversation pivots to new running backs coach Matt Merritt, who makes his NFL debut after helping Miami set ACC rushing records at the college level. Alex Clancy analyzes whether Merritt’s lack of NFL experience is truly a risk and explains why the running backs coach, unlike the offensive line coach, might not be a make-or-break hire. The episode’s central theme revolves around the Cardinals’ lingering uncertainty at defensive coordinator. With the NFL Combine and free agency fast approaching, Alex Clancy voices growing concern over the prolonged search, questioning whether it results from front office indecision, lack of job appeal, or deeper-rooted organizational instability under Michael Bidwill and Monti Ossenfort. He reviews potential candidates, stalled interviews, and wonders about possible internal disagreements or the team simply struggling to attract top defensive minds—an especially troubling sign given Arizona’s promising young defensive pieces. Throughout the show, Alex Clancy maintains a candid, sometimes critical perspective on the Cardinals’ process, expressing frustrations shared by fans yet emphasizing the hope that, despite appearances, the team will eventually make the right hire to guide a talented but still-developing roster. The episode is a must-listen for Cardinals fans seeking transparency and real talk about the state of their team heading into a pivotal offseason.
