On this special Christmas Eve edition of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy welcomes Cam Cox of 12 News for a candid and spirited conversation about all things Arizona Cardinals. The duo digs into the hottest topics swirling around the franchise as they approach the end of another challenging NFL season.
First up, Alex Clancy and Cam tackle the “blame pie”: how much responsibility should GM Monti Ossenfort, head coach Jonathan Gannon, and owner Michael Bidwill shoulder for the team’s recent struggles? Through lively banter, they assess the front office decisions, coaching errors, and unavoidable impact of injuries that have shaped the Cardinals’ fate in 2024. Listeners get an honest evaluation of whether the team should “clean house” or keep building, and which positions are desperate for a talent infusion.
The discussion then turns to core players like Budda Baker and James Conner. Is this the offseason where the Cardinals move on from their beloved safety, and will they part ways with their workhorse running back as he enters his thirties? Alex Clancy and Cam analyze contract situations, read the tea leaves from cryptic social media posts, and offer insight into how roster decisions could shape the team’s future direction.
They also highlight reasons for optimism, spotlighting emerging stars such as Trey Benson, Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, and Paris Johnson Jr. Both hosts share their thoughts on building around young talent and where the team must improve, especially in the trenches and secondary, to be competitive in 2025 and beyond.
Packed with knowledgeable takes, fan perspectives, and light-hearted moments—including a debate over favorite Christmas movies—this episode offers a well-rounded look at the state of the Cardinals. Perfect for listeners searching for analysis, hope, and a little holiday cheer to close out the season! Let’s discuss.
