Here’s what went down today on G&A:

* The BIGGEST story in Phoenix and throughout the state is tomorrow’s Duel in the Desert at Sun Devil Stadium. The guys shared their thoughts on the game and callers gave their predictions. Will the weather be a factor if the rain continues to fall? ASU is the better team, but Mike Stoops and the ‘Cats come into this one red-hot and a win would send them to their first bowl game in nearly a decade. G&A both like the Sun Devils.

* We were joined by Browns Pro Bowl guard Eric Steinbach. Steinbach discussed the Cardinals’ short-handed defense and Derek Anderson’s rise from NFL quarterback obscurity to one of the best signal-callers in the league.

* G&A also talked about how NFL teams no longer focus on creating a dominant run-game with today’s trend being skilled quarterbacks paired with talented wide receivers. Gambo said the Cardinals haven’t gotten their money’s worth in Edgerrin James. Ash said Edge will never be a break away threat, but will grind away for short gains and move the sticks. Both agree you can find good running backs on the cheap (see Ryan Grant).

* ESPN MNF analyst Ron Jaworski previewed all the big games this weekend.

* G&A agree Cleveland should be able to expose the Cardinals’ injury-riddled secondary and leave Glendale with a win.

* Big game for the Suns tonight against Orlando at USAC. G&A agree it’s time for STAT to step up his game and dominate like he has in the past.
