| 0:00.0 | Mark Shannowski here with us on Sports Talk Chicago. |
| 0:03.0 | And Mark, we want to talk some bears now. |
| 0:05.0 | What do you make of all these moves so far this off-season for them? |
| 0:09.0 | I think they're looking very good. |
| 0:11.0 | Yeah, they've got a long way to go, though, John. |
| 0:13.0 | You know, when you finish with the worst record in the league, you know, you could make the argument that they may only have four or five core players and then you're filling in another |
| 0:21.0 | 17 to 18 spots on your on your starting lineups so they have a long way to go and i give |
| 0:27.3 | ryan poles a lot of credit for filling in a lot of key positions i really like the two linebackers |
| 0:32.8 | they signed i think those guys are going to be impact players immediately i think they're they did good job in the draft last year, picking up a starting corner and a starting safety that I think are going to be good players for them for a lot of years to come. They didn't really address their questions on the offensive line, but hopefully they can still do that either later in free agency or with some of those high picks that they have in the upcoming |

| 1:21.0 | How big of a jump are you expecting for Fields now with all these weapons at his disposal? |
| 1:26.6 | Well, the key thing, though, John, is they have to solidify that offensive line. |
| 1:30.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:30.8 | You know, everyone talked about the fact that he was putting up record numbers running the football, |
| 1:34.9 | but he was also exposing himself to a lot of big hits. |
| 1:38.0 | You know, he's a strong guy, and he was able to stay in games last year, |
