Watch: Detroit Lions Podcast pre-training camp mailbag

Detroit Lions Podcast pre-training camp mailbag answers many questions about the Lions and several specific players

The latest edition of the Detroit Lions Podcast is now available. This one is in mailbag form, with logistical difficulties preventing a live show this week.

In this mailbag, I fielded questions from the podcast’s Patreon Slack chat in advance of training camp. Among them:

  • What’s happening at off-ball linebacker, what should we be looking for, and who is on the hot seat?
  • What are potential offensive wrinkles we might see from Ben Johnson?
  • Breaking down the TE competition entering camp
  • Will defenses figure out what the Detroit Lions are doing on offense?
  • Who are the top breakout candidates?
  • What should fans expect from Levi Onwuzurike?
  • Could another kicker be on the way?

All that and more get covered.

This was recorded Wednesday morning, before the Denzel Mims trade and the release of kicker Michael Badgley. Both of those topics do come up, and the Badgley take here does not age well. C’est la vie!

Pre-training camp Browns mailbag: realistic season outcomes and predictions

What are realistic goals for Watson, the defensive line, and are more moves coming?

Training camp is just around the corner kicking off next weekend on the 22nd as the team heads for West Virginia to kick off camp. The long offseason is nearly behind us as Cleveland Browns football is in the air. It’s time to turn the page on the additions of the offseason and start focusing on what this team will look like in 2023.

Most, like myself, believe that Deshaun Watson will have some kind of bounce back but what could that look like? Is Andrew Berry done adding talent or is more coming? Let’s take a look at these questions and more in this pre-training camp Browns mailbag.

Zulgad’s mailbag: Examining the Vikings’ top position battle and what’s going on with Lewis Cine?

With less than three weeks until training camp, @jzulgad answered fan questions about a variety of topics.

The NFL offseason has become pretty much non-existent, except for the few weeks after minicamps end in June and training camps open in late July.

That period enables executives, coaches and players to get a breather before the long season begins in the summer heat. So with the Vikings, and the rest of the league, taking a few weeks to recharge, let’s open the mailbag and answer some questions.

Midsummer mailbag: On depth chart and camp battles, player expectations and more

Midsummer mailbag: On depth chart and camp battles, player expectations and more via the Detroit Lions Podcast

We’ve hit the midsummer holiday time. Be it the 4th of July or Canada Day, I hope you all are enjoying the slow time on the football calendar.

In conjunction with the Detroit Lions Podcast, we’ve got a mailbag full of questions from the podcast Patreon Slack channel. A couple of these inquisitions come from the end of minicamp week, but they’re still interesting questions and angles to explore.

Here are some of the choice selections from the midsummer mailbag.

Browns Mailbag: Jedrick Wills, Perrion Winfrey, and dark horse roster candidates

What are the futures of Wills, Winfrey, and others heading into next month’s training camp?

The Browns wrapped up offseason workouts after last week’s mandatory minicamp. You aren’t winning any games in June but it was a productive minicamp for the offense that looks better than last year. Quarterback Deshaun Watson talked about having fun on the football field and how much better he feels this offseason than last. Questions remain about the overall future of the roster, will Perrion Winfrey make the roster after an offseason arrest that ended with the charges being dropped? What should the team expect from Jedrick Wills and what dark horse candidates could make the roster?

Let’s examine these questions and more in this edition of the Browns mailbag. Questions for future mailbags can be emailed to brownsmailbag@gmail.com.

Vikings pre-minicamp mailbag

With mandatory minicamp just days away, the latest mailbag is here loaded with questions about the defense.

A lot has been happening with the Minnesota Vikings this week. Dalvin Cook has been released, trade rumors are circling about Danielle Hunter and Jordan Addison continues to sit out of practice.

Next week, there will be even more to discuss, as mandatory minicamp will be upon us. With that comes the latest mailbag with questions about a different trade involving an edge rusher and who will see the most snaps in the secondary.

Browns Mailbag: Myles Garrett chatter, DeAndre Hopkins hype, and more

In this edition of Browns Mailbag, we hit on Myles Garrett, DeAndre Hopkins, and more!

The 2023 Cleveland Browns season draws closer and closer as offseason workouts continue and training camp is set to kick off next month. It has been a great offseason for general manager Andrew Berry who has been aggressive in plugging roster holes hoping to field a contender in the fall.

Though the roster does still have a few areas they could improve on overall the team on paper should be one of the best talent-wise. Could Berry make other moves before the team opens training camp in late July? Let’s take a look at this question as well as other reader questions in this edition of the Browns mailbag.

Browns mailbag post-2023 NFL draft edition: What positions are still concerning?

What roster questions remain with the draft complete?

It has been a good offseason so far as the Cleveland Browns have added talent in needed areas, both through free agency and the 2023 NFL draft. Some of the biggest issues from last season, like the lack of run-stoppers, have already been addressed though the roster is far from perfect.

The team showed they weren’t done in free agency on Thursday when they address the lack of safety depth by signing versatile veteran Rodney McLeod. So after the offseason so far what are the biggest questions remaining with the roster and what can we expect from this year’s rookies, those answers and more are in this edition of the Browns mailbag.

Dive into this Browns mailbag: 2023 NFL draft edition

Welcome to 2023 NFL draft eve. And while the draft may not carry as much luster for those who follow the Cleveland Browns as it once has given their lack of early picks for the second straight season, the team still possesses eight picks to add young talent to their roster on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. To celebrate, I reached out for mailbag questions specific to the draft. Doing my best to answer them all, I was able to hit the majority of them. Baylor defensive tackle Siaki Ika was a talking point, as was the wide receiver and linebacker class.

With plenty to discuss, let’s dive into this mailbag!
