What's up, everyone? Welcome back to the Charter podcast brought to you by St. Xavier University,

Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor back here with you on a Thursday ahead of week three.

The Bears will welcome in former head coach Matt Eberfuse, the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys.

Of course, Brian Schottinheimer, now the head coach, who is a quarterback playing pretty well.

The defense for Fluse, not so good.

We got a lot to get into, Clay.

Obviously, the Bears need to find their first win of the season.

And it's been an eventful week at Hallis Hall,

as it has been under the Ben Johnson era. And you know why I think it's been so fun, Clay?

Every time Ben Johnson talks, you'll learn something about him, about his team, about what he

feels about the current state of the organization or his locker

room. And I think that's sort of why yesterday was such an educational day. And I feel like we learned

a lot about what Ben Johnson, what his sort of mentality is here moving forward. What were your biggest takeaways?

Obviously, coming off of that Detroit game

that I don't think anyone really wants to rehash anymore.

However, we can kind of talk about how that may carry over

or help these bears sort of reset, right?

Before the Cowboys are at Soldier Field at

325 on Sunday. What did you take away from sort of Ben Johnson's messaging yesterday at

Hallis Hall on Wednesday? So there's two things I kind of want to get here to. So first,

I love Ben Johnson's messaging. He's kind of challenging the team. You know, he's like, hey, we got to practice harder. We got to walk through better. We got to be locked in. We're not out here to just mess around and like go through the plays. It's a walk through. You're out there with your buddies. You're talking. You're messing. No, you're locked in. This is practice, but it's at a walkthrough tempo. Mentally, you've got to be

going full speed there. Love that. Practice. We're not practicing at a championship caliber team yet.
