Zach Dooley and Jesse Cohen recap the biggest stories from the LA Kings 2026 Off-Season. The Kings made a number of moves from hiring a new coaching staff, to free agency and a busy weekend at the draft. Get caught up on all the moves from the summer before the new season begins.
Detroit Lions 2026 Offseason Retrospective The NFL season is finally here, which makes this the right moment to stop looking forward for an hour and look back at how the Detroit Lions got here. The 2026 offseason began with a 9-8 season that felt like a hard reset after two years of NFC North contention. Since then, Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have reshaped the roster, changed the offensive leadership, rebuilt key parts of the line of scrimmage, and made several decisions that will define whether Detroit returns to January football. On this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon work through the entire offseason, from free agency and the draft to training camp, roster cuts, injuries, and the final tuning of the team that will open the regular season. Free Agency Changed the Shape of the Lions The biggest changes were not cosmetic. Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow were released, David Montgomery was traded to Houston, and Detroit began rebuilding an offensive line that had lost some of the stability that once defined the offense. Penei Sewell moved to left tackle. Detroit used the 17th pick on Clemson tackle Blake Miller, added Cade Mays and Larry Borom in free agency, and acquired Juice Scruggs in the Montgomery trade. The result is a younger line with more athletic upside, but also one of the clearest early-season questions on the roster. The backfield changed just as dramatically. Isiah Pacheco arrived to complement Jahmyr Gibbs, only for injuries to interrupt that plan before Week 1. Gibbs, meanwhile, went from an offseason hold-in to a long-term extension through 2030. What looked like a committee in March now begins the season with Gibbs carrying even more responsibility. Drew Petzing also takes over as offensive coordinator, giving Jared Goff another system to master while Campbell looks to restore the offensive identity that slipped during 2025. The Draft, Defense, and an Offseason Full of Complications Holmes used the draft to attack the trenches. Miller arrived in Round 1, Detroit moved up for Michigan edge Derrick Moore in Round 2, and the class added more defensive depth behind them. That mattered because the defense spent the summer absorbing its own turbulence. The Terrion Arnold situation forced Detroit to rework the cornerback picture. D.J. Reed and Rock Ya-Sin enter the season as the likely outside starters, while the club continues sorting through nickel and depth options. The bigger immediate concern is safety. Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch will begin the season unavailable, forcing Detroit to rely on veteran depth until two of its best defensive players can return. Cade Mays and Pacheco are also sidelined, meaning the roster Holmes assembled in March is already different from the one Campbell will take into September. So How Good Are the 2026 Detroit Lions? That is where the retrospective becomes a confidence check. The stars are still stars. Goff, Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sewell, Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill give Detroit a legitimate championship-level core. The defensive front looks deeper, the rookie class has produced real contributors, and the roster survived cutdown with difficult decisions at multiple positions. The question is whether the rebuilt offensive line and temporary holes on defense can hold together until reinforcements arrive. Join Chris and Jeff for the Detroit Lions 2026 Offseason Retrospective as they grade every phase of the offseason and decide whether this team enters the new NFL season stronger, weaker, or simply different from the one that walked off the field in January. #DetroitLions, #Lions, #DetroitLionsPodcast, #OnePride, #DetroitLions2026, #LionsRoster, #NFLOffseason, #BradHolmes, #DanCampbell, #DrewPetzing, #JaredGoff, #JahmyrGibbs, #BlakeMiller, #AidanHutchinson, #NFLNews #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlions2026 #detroitlionsoffseason #lionsroster #nfloffseason #bradholmes #dancampbell #drewpetzing #jaredgoff #jahmyrgibbs #blakemiller #derrickmoore #detroitlionsfreeagency #detroitlionsdraft Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon defines the off-season (or post-season) not as a gap between races, but as the foundational first step of the upcoming year. A successful period focuses on mental and physiological restoration while building a platform for future training. Avoid the "No-Break" Athlete: Continuous high-intensity training leads to mental exhaustion and physiological plateaus. Avoid the "Winter Warrior": Constant high-effort training causes burnout and prevents true recovery. Avoid the "Rogue/Random" Athlete: Complete cessation of training leads to detraining, injury, and difficulty ramping back up. The Goal: Achieve consistency over months and seasons rather than daily perfection, creating "compound interest" on fitness. Training Principles The off-season shifts focus from boosting functional thresholds or speed to preparatory work that builds a robust chassis for the next season. Reduced Volume: Athletes are encouraged to train fewer hours (e.g., dropping from 20 hours to 12–14) to reduce cognitive load and life competition. Strength Focus: This is the primary window to "double down" on strength training to increase durability and power. Technical Development: Without the pressure of race deadlines, athletes should focus on craft, such as swim hand entry, running posture, and cycling traction. Variety and Additive Activities: Incorporating activities like skiing, yoga, or mountain biking helps maintain vibrancy and prevents boredom. Physiological Ceiling: Utilizing short, high-intensity bouts to build the heart rate ceiling without the volume of a full race prep block. Program Details Purple Patch will officially launch its off-season program on September 28th, though onboarding can begin around September 14th or 21st. Structure: The program emphasizes building an athletic base (multi-directional stability and power) rather than just a traditional Zone 2 base. Next Steps: A follow-up episode will feature a Q&A session to address specific training challenges and structural questions. Inquiries: Interested participants can contact info@purplepatchfitness.com regarding the Tri Squad off-season program or request a complimentary assessment call with Max. How can athletes best integrate these principles if they are still actively racing through October?

Hour one of DJ & PK for September 1, 2026: Bronco Mendenhall, Utah State football head coach Morgan Scalley, Utah Football head coach Kalani Sitake, BYU Football head coach
67's final two preseason games this weekend, 1st round picks playing in the AHL, and grading Steve Staios' off-season.
Most coaches fail their athletes long before an injury ever occurs because they train muscles for show while completely neglecting the structural integrity of the joints. Mark Uptegraff II had his Division I playing career ended in an instant by an L4–S1 laminectomy, a devastating setback that forced him to stop chasing personal weight room numbers and start studying how to keep human bodies from breaking. Through nearly a decade running strength programs across the collegiate landscape, he developed a systematic approach to joint capacity, relative strength baselines, and individualized "bucketing" that reliably produces bulletproof, high-velocity athletes. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Joint Integrity Gap: Why standard weight room programming exposes athletes to catastrophic soft-tissue tears and how iso-ramping builds load-bearing capacity. The 20 MPH Threshold: How Fordham Football expanded its high-velocity roster from 9 to 46 athletes without burning out their nervous systems. Relative Strength Thresholds: The exact squat and press ratios an athlete must hit before transitioning into advanced power development. Proactive Return-to-Play: The specific warm-up framework that cut a grade-two MCL rehab timeline from six weeks to just eleven days. The Coach's Reality Check: How an unexpected career-ending spine surgery transformed a former walk-on into an elite system-builder. MEET THE GUEST Mark Uptegraff II is the Director of Football Strength & Conditioning at Fordham University. A former UNC offensive lineman whose playing career was halted by major spine surgery, Uptegraff turned personal physical adversity into a relentless pursuit of human performance. Having refined his methods through the ranks at Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and Division III Wittenberg, he has earned a reputation as an innovator in injury mitigation, joint capability, and athlete longevity. His credentials include SCCC, CSCS, FRCms, FRSC, FRA, and USAW.

Hour 3- Hard Knocks, 5 Reasons and CJ Stroud take
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and Makena Arteaga are back in studio talking about USC getting ready for the long awaited season opener against San Jose State. The Trojans and the Spartans kick off Saturday at noon in the Coliseum in a rare week zero game, set up as a late replacement for the paused series against Notre Dame.
