  • Love the pod, don't love reposting highlights

    Love the pod, but please consider maybe making a CHGO highlights pod/youtube channel, other podcasts I watch have highlight/clip channels so that their main channel doesn't get clogged up by posting highlight clips that are already there in longer form, effectively double posting. I'm no algorithm expert but the clip channels seem to bring in more viewers as it's easier to get engaged with the shorter form content, then they watch the whole podcast

Sam Roush’s Stanford Tight End Coach Breaks Down FIT with the Chicago Bears
Q: How has Sam's rugby background helped him adapt to football at a high level?
Rugby enhances contact balance and leg drive, helping him fight for extra yards and maintain balance through contacts, which translates into better after-the-catch ability and pursuit in football.

Could Garrett Bradbury Be Traded AGAIN this Offseason? | CHGO Bears Podcast
Q: What is the likelihood of a Bradbury trade given the Bears' draft choices?
The hosts think it's possible but depends on Logan Jones's development, the Ravens' center needs, and the Bears' cap decisions; a trade would hinge on reciprocal value and whether Bradbury's contract is movable at the right price.
ONE WEEK AWAY: Ryan Poles Keying in on 2026 NFL Draft + Jerry Azumah Joins! | CHGO Bears
Q: Would you prioritize drafting a cornerback at 25 given last year's injuries and depth concerns?
Yes, there's a strong case for adding cornerback depth (Tyreke Stevenson, Kyler Gordon) and potentially bringing in Avion Torell or Brandon Cisse to bolster man-to-man coverage.
