Summary

On the latest Under Center podcast, Kenneth Davis and Alex Shapiro break down key takeaways from Ryan Poles' post-cut-down day press conference, including his expectations for Caleb Williams this season (1:23).

The hosts dive into how Poles transformed the Bears' wide receiver room into one of the NFL's best (15:20) and debate his optimistic view of the offensive line (20:17). They also review what might be the best episode of Hard Knocks this season, including heartfelt and humanizing moments from the show (28:53).
