How much better will Tremaine Edmunds and TJ Edwards make Chicago Bears linebackers in 2023? Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears revamped almost their entire linebacker position this offseason, and they're counting on Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards to be upgrades for Matt Eberflus' defense.

Ryan Poles also brought in more competition for Jack Sanborn, who is somehow the linebacker on the roster with the most experience in this Bears defense.

Kyler Gordon, Tyrique Stevenson are biggest wildcards on Chicago Bears defense Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears are young and relatively inexperienced at the cornerback position. They could be solid and exciting, or they could make mistakes and struggle.

Our training camp previews continue with a look at expectations for Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson, plus a lot at stake for Jaylon Johnson in a contract year, and a strong competition for the backup jobs.

How Jaquan Brisker can take next step in Year 2 with Chicago Bears | Training Camp Preview Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

2023 will be an important year for the development of Jaquan Brisker. It should also give us a clearer picture of the long-term future of the Chicago Bears safety position.

Eddie Jackson is still the veteran leader of this secondary, but for how much longer? Plus, the training camp battles for the backup safety spots are wide open with plenty of young talent on the roster.

Chicago Bears need Velus Jones to lock down kick return jobs | Training Camp Preview Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears kick and punt return jobs are wide open. The best case scenario is that Velus Jones takes the next step and locks down both roles at training camp.

The Bears also have open competitions for other key special teams spots, and their undrafted rookie free agent kicker Andre Szymt is more than just a camp leg.

Chicago Bears who need to step up as leaders in 2023 and beyond Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears have moved on from some of their most prominent team leaders since Ryan Poles took over as general manager.

It's time for the next set of leaders to step up on the roster along side Justin Fields and Eddie Jackson. Some of it will fall on free agent signings, and some of it will be up to younger players growing into bigger roles.

What needs to go well for Chicago Bears to succeed in 2023 season (besides Justin Fields) Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears need a few things to go their way in 2023 in order for this team to reach its full potential this season, beyond just Justin Fields taking the next step forward.

This young defensive line needs to far exceed expectations, this offensive line needs to make a smooth transition and the free agent additions need to gel quickly with the rookies and the returning veterans to minimize mistakes and the learning curve.

Chicago Bears player projections: How many passing yards will Justin Fields have in 2023? Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears offense will take a step forward in 2023. The only question is how much better Justin Fields and company will be.

ESPN's Mike Clay released his updated player projections for this upcoming season, and we go through the stats for Fields in Year 3, plus a crowded Bears backfield and trying to find away to spread the passing yards around to all the weapons.

Would 'Hard Knocks' be a distraction at Chicago Bears training camp? Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears are one of four teams that the NFL could force to appear on the HBO documentary show "Hard Knocks"

Some fear that having the cameras around Halas Hall could be a distraction for Matt Eberflus' team, but it could also give fans fun access into Justin Fields' development and the biggest personalities on the roster.

Should Chicago Bears be concerned about Chase Claypool? Jun 19, 2023

Show notes

Questions reemerged about Chase Claypool's motivation in a pivotal offseason with the Chicago Bears, a similar issue that followed him with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But everything we've heard from his Bears teammates and coaches suggest otherwise, and perhaps the real concern should be about his current injury and durability, not his work ethic.
