Show notes

Nate Tice & Matt Harmon deep dive on all four teams in the NFC East ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The duo start off with the defending division champ Philadelphia Eagles, who have a new-look offense under OC Sean Mannion and a defense that hopes to continue their top-five play with a few additions.

Next up are the Dallas Cowboys, who Nate & Matt agree have taken huge steps forward on their defense this offseason. But have the Cowboys done enough on defense for their star-studded offense to carry them to a division title? The Washington Commanders are up next, who received a huge blow to their offense when LT Laremy Tunsil went down with a serious injury last week. What we can expect from their new-look offense? The duo wrap things up with the New York Giants, who look like they’re planning on being a ground-and-pound offense under new HC John Harbaugh and OC Matt Nagy, with a defense that just needs to play up to its talent level to impress.

Nate & Matt finish things off with their final predictions for how this fascinating division plays out in 2026.

The Kansas City Chiefs are up next, as Nate & Hayden discuss whether some huge changes could be coming to the offensive system following the addition of Kenneth Walker III.

The duo wrap things up with the Las Vegas Raiders, who are hoping to see a return to normalcy under head coach Klint Kubiak and a solid development year for first overall pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

Show notes

Nate Tice sits down with Domonique Foxworth to cover how the NFL game is evolving over time, including the biggest issues the league faces entering the 2026 season.

Nate & Domonique cover how NFL training camp attempts to prepare players for the rigors of a season with less and less full contact, the future of NFL defenses (and why it might be built around the safety position), what Domonique watches for when watching ball, changing offensive tendencies and how defenses can pick them apart and the most under-appreciated NFL “rule breakers” on defense (including Kyle Hamilton and Jalen Pitre).

Later, Domonique provides his insight as former president of the NFLPA as the duo dive into the state of the NFL Player’s Association: What should be the hardline issues players are fighting for in the next CBA? Could there be a labor strike looming? How do NFLPA execs decide what’s worth fighting for?

Next, the duo dive into the Indianapolis Colts, division champ Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins (Arch Manning szn?), Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders, breaking down their big offseason changes and what to look out for this fall.
