What's up, everyone? Welcome back to the Charter podcast.

Ruthie Polinsky, back here with you.

Clay Harbor joining me at Halls Hall today for Bears Training Camp Practice number three.

Do a little mini pod for you guys today, just sort of recapping the day. Clay, first of all,

how does it feel be? I mean, guys, I got to tell you this. Clay was out there for about seven

minutes before he found a football that he could hold because he wanted to get in on the action.

Like, can someone get this guy some pads? Like, throw them out there,

although even they're not in pods yet. Clay, how to feel to be out there today? Watching

training camp, you miss it? It was good. I just remember how frustrating sometimes it can be

at this point because it's the only three days in. You're learning the offense, and you don't

have pads on. So there's a lot of overreaction. And obviously, we're going to take that into account when we tell you what we tell you from some of our observations, but we always got to remember, it is hard to block when you don't have pads on in the Bears offense and defense. Obviously, I'm wearing pads yet. That's going to come on Monday, and we're all looking forward to that.

But we're taking that with a grain of salt, but I still think there was a lot of good stuff out there today that we can talk about. Let's do some housekeeping first. Braxton Jones was not out there today. We were told by Barr's PR that that was a schedule day off. Obviously, he's still in that ramp up period. Colston Lo still in that ramp-up period. He only participated in individual drills, went inside for team drills.

Same, no, you know, obviously still no Luther burden out there, which I think, you know, when

it's called day-to-day, we're going to mention every day that he's not out there because we're kind

of waiting for the day that he is out there. And I think that's probably the most, like, injury-related news we could share at this point. What do you think? Yeah, Braxton Jones. They said it was just a rest day. They had pre-planned, like you said, no Luther Burden, no Shmar Turner. Yeah, no Sharmour Turner still. Yeah, just the Drew not Drew, Drew, but Ryan Bates, you know, wasn't out there for practice. So the normal stuff that you would think. Okay. Well, you've probably read the headlines or seen stuff on social media, but it was an ugly day for the Bears offense to say the least, especially for the first team offense.

Clay, I know there's two sides to every story, right?

We could also frame this and saying, hey, it was a great day for the defense.

It was a good day for the defense.

But let's focus on the offense first.

We saw a lot of team drills in Red Zone 11 on 11, 7 on 7.

I believe Caleb was two for 11, two picks back to back. It wasn't pretty. Let's just say that.
