Summary

Chicago Bears Defensive Assistants spoke at Halas Hall over the weekend. After Ben Johnson questioned how well the players were being coached earlier this offseason, DB Coach Al Harris and D-Line Coach Jeremy Garrett have a transparent discussion about HOW they will make improvements. Plus, is there already trouble on the horizon with Jaylon Johnson not at voluntary practices and Kyler Gordon dealing with a soft tissue injury? Will the Bears once again be thin at corner, especially after the team waived Zah Frazier 2 weeks ago? Adam Hoge and Mark Carman discuss on the CHGO Bears Podcast.

This is the CHO Bears podcast coming out of Memorial Day weekend. A beautiful weekend. It was once

0:16.6

it finally turned. Summer has arrived. Adam Hogue, Mark Carmen, here with you. I was a very

0:24.4

busy Tuesday for us at CHGO. Our Bears group, we ended up with three. I guarantee you

0:31.6

know what else is doing three bear shows on May 26. I could, I could tell you that for sure.

0:36.5

We had Hogan Johns this morning, a lot of good stadium stuff on there.

0:40.2

We're going to talk a lot about the defense on this show today. And then Greg Braggs Jr.

0:45.0

will have after dark tonight at 7 o'clock. And he's going to have a little bit more on the OTAs,

0:52.5

previewing OTAs, which will finally get able to get out and see a practice on Thursday, Mark Carmen. Hoger, good to see you. Let's be honest, to Hogan Johns and C.H.G.O. Bears at 1 o'clock right now is all just an appetizer leading into the main event that is 7 o'clock tonight. Bears after Bragg's Dark. It's going to be a great

1:13.2

show tonight at 7 o'clock. I'm looking forward to it. But, you know, I got to tell you,

1:17.1

Hogue, you know, it was a great football season last year. We went up, we went down, we went around,

1:23.0

we rode the roller coaster, and then we, you know, went right into the off season and Super Bowl.

1:29.8

And I think there was a combine in there somewhere.

1:33.3

And then we got to Memorial Day and I just think that we all needed a little break from each other.

1:39.3

Good four days.

1:40.3

I'm coming back on just feeling super refreshed, happy to see you for the first time in a while. I mean, you look great. I was happy to see Stephen today. So I'm just letting everybody know I'm at a great mood today. And I'm interested in the conversation we're going to have with a bunch of bears talking on Thursday, which we didn't get to last week. So this is a lot of stuff to do today. Hello. Stephen even got away over the weekend. He did? I didn't even know that. Where'd you go?

2:02.6

Oh, super secret. No one knew about it. I was in South Carolina. What? Yeah. Doing what? Well, must ask, I was there for funeral. Oh, well, no, I got to put it back from the show there. Yeah, but so those could be good things. Did they live a long life? She live a long life.

2:19.5

Was there? Yes, there. Yeah, but so those could be good things. Did they live a long life?

2:18.0

She live a long life. Was there? Yes. Yes. Okay, good. There you go. A long good life. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was just the epitome of Stephen Nicholas. Like, I literally spent all week and thinking this dude finally got away. Got some time. No. took a break from his endless work days. I was at a funeral.

2:37.0

Well, I mean, sorry. Yeah. That's all right. P to the extended Nicholas family. Mom's side,

2:47.0

dad side. No one side. That side. Dad side. There we go. Go to the bear side. Good start. Good start. I think we continue that conversation off the air, Mark. Yeah. Yeah. Let's all get to know each other. Mine as well. By the way, you know, I had a great week. It started out with the Tyson Bage at Football Camp Friday night.

3:08.3

I think I, Hoag, I don't know who it is, but there is some quarterback who's in eighth grade right now that's going into Glenburg North, not to put pressure on this young gentleman.

3:18.7
