It has been roughly seven months since the Lions last suited up for a football game, and even though the NFL did provide teases through the draft and mini-camps we here at the Detroit Lions Breakdown Podcast have been patiently waiting for football to return… it finally has. Erik and Joe spend this week chatting about training camp.

- Discussion of Erik’s article: 10 things to know if you’re heading to training camp
- What to note at training camp, is it a red-flag, or meaningless
- Erik dispells national narratives
- Drew Rosenhaus was in town and speaking with the team regarding extensions for Damon Harrison and Darius Slay
- Harrison and Slay have both reported to training camp without missing any time
- Matthew Stafford, Danny Amendola and Marvin Jones found themselves throwing this past week in California

- Ricky Jean Francois met with the Lions, could he be returning?
- The massive improvements on defense were due to fundamentals, including a top-5 ranking in tackling efficiency and the No. 1 PFF rating in YAC allowed
