The bear hat Ruben Hyppolite is wearing today says āDefenseā on it. He told me he bought it three weeks before the #Bears drafted him. āItās crazy how that works,ā he said.
Top of mind for every Bears fan today ... the 12th annual watchability rankings youtu.be/cwlLmcmLrEg?...
Itāll still be a bit before first round pick Colston Loveland is cleared to practice following offseason shoulder surgery, but he was itching to get out there today. #Bears
Kyle Monangai's tape is littered with patience and enough burst to get through holes that open up late. He might not have elite speed, but he can get the yards that are there to take.
Super Power of 22p š„µ Devastating downfield block by the WR!

Good morning! #Bears players are back at Halas Hall today for the start of the voluntary offseason program. Attendance is not mandatory, but always more important when thereās a new coaching staff. It will be Ben Johnsonās first day in front of the team.
White Lotus Season 3 was like an up-and-down round of golf. Didnāt play great and the round took 5.5 hours, but we birdied 18 and will be back for Season 4.
This is extremely important as Ben Johnson takes over as #Bears head coach: passing game EPA now matters more than turnover margin š
high knees goes nuclear
Finally got around to watching Sundayās episode of White Lotus
Why is there a proposal to allow kicking balls to be prepared before game day? Iām glad you asked! Unlike QB balls, staffs have a VERY short time period to break in brand new K-balls on game day. Cairo Santos explained the process on The Eighty Five: youtu.be/-cAUDZKnX3M?...
Bylaw proposal from Lions: Change playoff seeding based on record, which might be worth discussing š
Rule change proposals from: DET - Eliminate auto first down on defensive holding/illegal contact GB - š tush push PHI - Change OT rules Competition committee will review. League meetings in 11 days.
I know thereās still some confusion out there about this so I did confirm: Pick 114 in this yearās NFL Draft belongs to the Carolina Panthers, acquired from the Dallas Cowboys. It is not the #Bearsā pick.
The Bears' Ni Kyler Gordon (6) running an edge pressure vs. the Jaguars. Gordon is one of the best Ni's in the NFL & is a menace when blitzing. --
Kevin.
Not happening. But respect the Hail Mary.

#Bears re-signed TE Stephen Carlson.
#Bears adding a possible WR3 in Olamide Zaccheaus, per Tom Pelissero. He was really effective last year for the Commanders. Interesting player who will be 28 this season.
Dayo Odeyingbo is definitely very aware of the type of DEs Dennis Allen covets. Said he's been studying Cam Jordan for years. Believes this is a great fit. #Bears

Sign me up for Grady Jarrett
Been a fan of Grady Jarrett for a long time. Always thought he was underrated, even when he was second-team All Pro. Extremely durable and bounced back from his torn ACL well. Can still play.
You wanted help in the trenches. You're getting help in the trenches.
Almost 6,000 watching our free agent frenzy stream right now! We're reacting the Dalman signing and all the moves around the league. Come join us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bTN...

Bears rank No. 14 overall in this yearās NFLPA survey. āThe playersā most frequent complaint was with their former head coach Matt Eberflus. The players felt like he lacked a willingness to listen to the players and the playersā leadership council, and he mismanaged the weekly team schedule.ā
Lukas Reichel didnāt play half of the 2nd period and didnāt take a shift in the 3rd Sorensen: āIt was a coachās decision. I didnāt like his game.ā #Blackhawks
Jaguars announced they are hiring James Gladstone as their GM. Bears will hold onto assistant GM Ian Cunningham for at least one more season.
Ben Johnson reached out to Dennis Allen late in the season about potentially being his DC wherever he landed. Allen is excited about the pieces in place on defense. Like Johnson, he specifically singled out Kyler Gordon. Overall, expect an attacking, aggressive style.
we had a great show today
I donāt see any reason why Washington would be doing that on purpose. Especially because it was costing time on the clock. They were just trying to time up the snap, the only way to defend the tush push.
Ridiculous.
I feel like Iāve seen this Blackhawks game 10 times this season

Thanks! š
Thank you!!
MASSIVE show today, covering the Ben Johnson hire from every angle: Lions fallout, Dennis Allen, free agent fits for Johnson, NFL Draft impact, and a lot more... Hope you enjoy it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=12Go...
Roquan barreling 100mph right into Shakirās back. That could not have felt good
Jalen Carter is good at football.
Raiders owner Tom Brady has the Lions game for FOX next weekend š¤
Guess I need to do my clock management rant again. How are so many NFL head coaches this bad at something that really isnāt that complicated?!?
What a dot by Jayden Daniels š
Packers are going to need a separate MedFlight just to get everyone back to Green Bay. My goodness the injuries are piling up.
The Bears completed their interview with Ron Rivera.
Nothing better than forcing a fumble on the opening kickoff with a big hit. Set the tone!
Magician.
Longsnapper instigating and drawing a personal foul from the other team š
Dicker the kicker, not the quarterback š¤¦āāļø
Bears interview with Lions DC Aaron Glenn is complete.
Herbert already has a couple ridiculously good throws
The #Bearsā first interview with Ben Johnson is over. Hereās why heās such a strong candidate, and why he still has some questions to answer: allchgo.com/ben-johnson-...
These play callers make it so hard on themselves to get one yard
It feels like every drive in this game has started with a false start
PI or not, get your head around or play through the hands once the ball gets there. Donāt give the official a reason to make a questionable call.
Connecting some dots on Drew Petzing, who interviewed for the Bears' head coaching job: He and Ben Johnson coached together at Boston College, shortly after Ryan Poles played there. More on Petzing in our @CHGO_Bears coaching tracker: allchgo.com/coachingsearch
The #Bears completed an initial interview with Mike Vrabel today. Hereās my profile on Vrabel and why heās such a strong candidate: allchgo.com/nfl-mike-vra...

Mike McCarthy EPA/play rankings as OC and head coach: Saints (5 seasons) - 16th 49ers (1) - 32nd Packers (13) - 3rd Cowboys (5) - 12th (FWIW Packers rank 2nd under Matt LaFleur)
Not sure anyone has a bigger game next week than Sam Darnold
Bears could also interview Matt Nagy this week if theyād like
With the Lions earning the No. 1 seed and a first round bye, the Bears will be able to interview Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn starting Wednesday. Those interviews have to be virtual and must be completed by Monday, Jan. 13.
Oh Van Ginkel. Kinda feels like that was the game.
Last minute clean up at Lambeau where the tarp is coming off the field
Oh no, Russell.
That was easy.

"Probably the smartest football mind I've ever been around." Kevin Byard played for Mike Vrabel for 5.5 seasons in Tennessee. I chatted with Byard about why he loved playing for Vrabel: youtu.be/JDnQHLJpiZM?...
Always wonderful having George and Sandy Dickerson at Halas Hall to help present the annual Jeff Dickerson Good Guy Award. Cole Kmet was this yearās winner, earning it for the second time.
Bad hold, worse kick for Boise State.
by beating the Niners, the Lions have ensured that the Bears will finish with more losses than the rest of the division combined
Man. Credit to Dan Campbell. Full throttle. Stuck to their identity. Respect.
Anyone else feel like we breezed by that one questionable angle
Bears at Packers. Sunday, Noon CT on FOX. Packers will still be playing for seeding.
Anyone want to tell him
Bump
Iāll be addressing the clock mismanagement epidemic on tomorrowās show. Itās not just affecting the Bears.
Sam Darnoldā¦
In Week 4 against GB, the Vikings played man coverage on 10.7% of dropbacks ā their lowest rate of the season. Today, they've played man on 53.8% of dropbacks ā on track for their highest rate of the season. Love was 3/7 for 14 yards against man looks in the first half. (Per Next Gen Stats)
Rough clock management by KOC. Had the ball at midfield with 3 timeouts and over a minute on the clock. Really fortunate to get a field goal out of it.
Saquon Barkley just went over 2000 rushing. Ninth player to ever do it.
Rookie receivers making plays all over
