Nate Tice & Matt Harmon answer your biggest questions about the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The two hosts answer some of the toughest questions of the offseason, starting with identifying the most underrated position groups, most improved offensive lines, a few popular consensus NFL takes that could end up being way off and their thoughts on the movement to start J.J. McCarthy over Kyler Murray in Minnesota.

Next, Nate and Matt evaluate Brian Daboll's fit as a playcaller with Cam Ward, the top young offensive tackles in the league, the true gap between Myles Garrett & Jared Verse and more.

The two hosts wrap up the show with some critical players for contending teams, a few teams that could go worst to first in their division this season (shoutout Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints) and a conversation around which players or coaches could win in a true "him or me" ultimatum against their counterpart.
