Hey guys, Kevin Clark here. Quick note, we recorded this show at the end of last week.

So this was before the Cam Newton signing with the Patriots, which we all found to be a great signing.

We addressed this briefly with Danny Kelly on the Monday show, our new expectations to the Patriots.

But obviously, whatever our expectations were in this episode with the Patriots, but obviously, whatever our expectations

were in this episode with the Patriots, you can just kick them up a notch.

It's the Ringer NFL show, part of the Ringer podcast network. I am Kevin Clark, joined today

by new Ringer staff writer, Kailen Jones, and D.K. at the Dark Night, new ringer staff writer Kaelin Jones and D.K.

How's it going, guys?

It's going well.

It's doing pretty good.

All right.

So we're going to do one of my favorite exercises of the year.

I think that as the calendar turns towards July, I think that this is the most helpful thing we can do to reset

our expectations for the season, what every team looks like as a contender and what they need

to break right. It's how many teams who win the Super Bowl and how do they get there? I think that

July starts really, it's the season. I mean, the training camp is supposed to start.

Tom Pelliser and Ian Rapport reported that the veterans are supposed to report on July 28th.

What that looks like, we don't know. We can't kind of play the hypothetical game here, but as

things stand right now, training camp starts July 28th. Now the Lions new Lions owner took over yesterday and

said quote it's going to be a weird year. That's probably the most succinct way of putting what this

year looks like. But we just have to pretend there's going to be 16 games and full playoffs.
