  • J. Hood > Kap

    The show is great but it should be the “J. Hood, Shea , and J. Moore show”. Kap causes me to turn the show off

  • Mostly good

    J Hoods Bears takes are a repeat of the CHGO Bears postgame takes. Almost point by point from the CHGO pod that drops the night before

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

4/14 8AM: Albert Breer
Q: What about the idea of drafting for need at left tackle now versus waiting—how should the Bears think about the offensive line in this draft?
Breer discusses the logic of taking a high-quality left tackle early if the top prospects are strong, explaining why the position's value may justify a high pick given the long-term impact on the offense and the salary cap.
4/14 8AM: Albert Breer
Q: Would you take the best player on the board or target a need at the Bears' first-round pick given the holes you've identified?
Breer says the makeup of the class favors a mosaic approach: look at the entire board, balance needs with overall value, and avoid forcing a pick just to fill a hole if a superior talent is available.
4/17 7AM: Jesse Rogers
Q: Jesse, you wrote a piece on espn.com. We actually go to the MLB section of espn.com, 19 going on 35. How Connor Griffin of the Pirates maturity is making an impression on the team.
He's an extremely mature kid, and his teammates notice how he handles himself, suggesting a long, productive career ahead.
4/7 7AM: Albert Breer
Q: Albert, what is your read on the current quarterback class and who stands out the most?
Breer emphasized that no single quarterback stands out as a definitive top prospect and compared several young QBs to established players like Jared Goff and Brock Purdy, noting that context, surrounding talent, and development paths will heavily influence outcomes.
4/8 7AM: Tom Waddle
Q: Sam asks about the Bulls' coaching situation and Billy Donovan's role; Kap provides context on Donovan's impact and potential moves.
Kap explains that Donovan has had limited impact on contracts and suggests teams should let a new GM hire his own coach, while acknowledging Donovan's coaching pedigree and questions about his fit with Chicago's front office.
