Does the Justin Fields hype train need to slow down? | Chicago Bears training camp update Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

More and more people are starting to associate Justin Fields with the letters MVP, before he's thrown a pass in 2023.

Everyone should be excited and optimistic about the progress he should make this season, but setting the bar at Most Valuable Player doesn't help anyone.

Yannick Ngakoue signing is missing piece to Chicago Bears defense Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears finally addressed their massive need at defensive end with the free agent signing of Yannick Ngakoue.

He's not a perfect solution, but he represents a major upgrade that will have a positive ripple effect through the rest of the defense.

And Ryan Poles still has plenty of cap space left to work with...

How Justin Fields is trying to bring more energy to Chicago Bears training camp Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears offense has been too low-energy at training camp. Justin Fields wants to elevate the intensity and get more trash talk going with the defense, which brings the juice every day.

He can also find some energy from Chase Claypool, who is one of the more emotional players on offense... to the point where Darnell Mooney sometimes has to dial him back down.

Plus, we get an injury update with Teven Jenkins leaving practice an Alex Leatherwood emerging as a surprise replacement at left guard.

Chicago Bears training camp battles heating up: Stevenson vs. Smith, plus Gervon Dexter and new DT Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears say the cornerback job opposite Jaylon Johnson is wide open, and right now its a rookie battle between Tyrique Stevenson and Terrell Smith.

Another rookie, defensive tackle Gervon Dexter, has gotten some early praise, but head coach Matt Eberflus noted that the developmental prospect is still a work in progress.

Chicago Bears training camp update: Rookies starting to make names for themselves Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

Chicago Bears rookies have been the talk of training camp in the first week at Halas Hall.

First-round pick Darnell Wright showed up in great shape but is taking his lumps early. Second-round pick Tyrique Stevenson might not be assured the starting cornerback job as fifth-round pick Terrell Smith is giving him some competition.

And wide receiver Tyler Scott is showing off his trademark speed on both offense and special teams as an early standout.

How Kyler Gordon earned the nickname "Spider Man" at Chicago Bears training camp Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Chicago Bears second-year cornerback Kyler Gordon is now known as "Spider Man" to his teammates at training camp, and he's not the only CB looking to make strides in 2023.

Jaylon Johnson wants to add to his interception totals this season as he plays for a new contract extension by expanding his game and trying to prove he's one of the best at his position in the NFL.
