Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2026

The Know Your Rival series rolls on to the team most Seahawks fans admittedly care the least about beating - the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona finished 3-14 last year, lost 14 of their final 15 games, and ran a defense that gave up more than 6,000 yards. So what did the Bidwills actually do about it? They fired Jonathan Gannon (now coaching in Green Bay), handed the keys to first-time head coach Mike LaFleur, spent the #3 overall pick on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, and for some unknown reason decided to reach on a third-round quarterback nobody wanted.

It's hard not to view their offseason as anything but a disaster. They're carrying $73 million in dead money, low-balling Jacoby Brissett after he started 15 games for backup pay, and now their own director of college scouting is suspended for leaking insider information and betting on football games. Could all this disfunction ultimately lead the team to land Arch Manning with the first pick? We break down exactly how close to zero that chance really is.

In the second half of the show, we've got some real Seahawks news. Our team has officially been sold, and we go through everything we know about the new ownership group. Plus we get into the backup quarterback battle that is "making news," Julian Love's push for real grass at Lumen Field and what it would take to get there. Finally, we close a Do Better call outs for the Cardinals Ring of Honor embarrassment and recognize Grey Zabel for two separate points in a recent interview this past week.
