## Resource

*GENERIC TRUMPET BLASTS SOUNDING A CALL TO ARMS* That's right, training camp is here and the 2026 NFL season is basically underway. We have plenty of questions around the league as all 32 teams open camp across the next few days, so many that we can't possibly get into all of them. This episode of The Athletic Football Show is reserved for our biggest questions as training camp begins. Robert Mays and Dave Helman find themsleves wondering about topics such as the Texans offensive line, the Raiders' development plan for Fernando Mendoza, the new-look Bills defense, and plenty more. 0:00 Welcome to the show 2:12 Patrick Mahomes 3:55 Chiefs offense 5:53 Jaguars skill positions 9:45 Seahawks running backs 14:45 Ravens offense & Bills defense 21:27 Vikings QB competition 24:26 Vikings run game 26:24 Falcons QBs 30:44 Fernando Mendoza sitting 40:14Year 2 of Cam Ward 42:25 Eagles & Commanders offenses 42:56 Texans offensive line 46:22 Nic Scourton injury 47:47 Eagles receiving core 49:50 Mike McDaniel transformation 51:43 Late camp signings Join The Athletic Football Show Discord Server: http://discord.gg/theathleticfootballshow Host: Robert Mays Co-Host: Dave Helman Executive Producer: Michael Beller Senior Producer: Katy Duffy Social Producer: Scott Krinch Follow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.social Follow Dave on Bluesky: @davehelman.bsky.social Follow Robert on X: @RobertMays Follow Dave on X: @DaveHelman_ Theme song: Haunted Written by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love Songs Courtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC Hosted on Acast.
