The Bears are going to be without safety Coby Bryant, a key free-agent addition, for roughly two months after he suffered a leg injury during practice Monday.

Jaylon Johnson is not satisfied with what the Chicago Bears defense accomplished last season—and he delivered a powerful message entering 2026.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down Johnson's honest assessment of a defense that led the NFL with 33 takeaways, including 23 interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries, but struggled in several other major statistical categories.Chicago cannot enter the new season expecting Caleb Williams and the offense to score 40 points every week while the defense simply survives. Johnson believes that approach is unacceptable—and says the defense still has everything to prove.

The Chicago Bears offense is already giving the defense problems at training camp—and Caleb Williams may be taking another major step forward.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down all the biggest developments from Day 2 at Halas Hall, beginning with one of Caleb Williams' strongest practices since arriving in Chicago. Williams reportedly played fast, spread the football around, completed well over 70% of his passes and consistently generated chunk plays while operating Ben Johnson's offense with confidence.The biggest play came when Williams connected with veteran receiver Kalif Raymond for a 54-yard touchdown during 11-on-11 work. Raymond was one of the clear winners of practice, showing off his speed, route running and growing chemistry with Chicago's quarterbacks.But Raymond was not the only weapon making noise. Rome Odunze continued to look explosive, Luther Burden III flashed as a route runner and after the catch, and Colston Loveland delivered one of the catches of the day on a diving reception. The Bears may have assembled one of the NFL's deepest and most versatile collections of offensive weapons.Haize also examines the other major training-camp developments:

Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote discuss Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen's appreciation for new safety Coby Bryant, and his play style.

The Chicago Bears are opening training camp, and every position group has a major question to answer before the 2026 season kicks off.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down one burning training camp question at every position. Can Caleb Williams take the leap into elite quarterback territory after being ranked among the NFL's top players? Can D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai lead the run game while Roschon Johnson fights to keep his RB3 spot? Are Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III ready to take over as the Bears' top two wide receivers after the DJ Moore trade?The show also dives into the future of Cole Kmet, the left tackle battle with Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills Jr. and Theo Benedet, and whether the Bears' defensive front can finally give Montez Sweat enough help. Can Dayo Odeyingbo or Austin Booker step up? Will Grady Jarrett bounce back? Can the linebackers stay healthy with T.J. Edwards dealing with a minor injury update?Haize also reacts to CBS Sports calling Caleb Williams overrated heading into 2026. Is the criticism fair because of his completion percentage and playoff turnovers, or are people ignoring the clutch gene, the franchise-record production and the fact that Caleb has already shown traits only elite quarterbacks have?Plus, the episode looks at the new-look secondary with Tyrique Stevenson, Malik Muhammad, Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman, and why this Bears training camp could reveal whether Chicago is truly ready to defend its NFC North crown.Topics include: Chicago Bears training camp, Caleb Williams overrated, Bears 2026 preview, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Cole Kmet trade rumors, Braxton Jones, Bears left tackle battle, Austin Booker, Dayo Odeyingbo, Grady Jarrett, T.J. Edwards injury update, Tyrique Stevenson, Malik Muhammad, Coby Bryant, Dillon Thieneman, Ben Johnson, Chicago Bears Central.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears are just days away from training camp, and the defense has major questions to answer before the 2026 season begins.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down one defensive sleeper to watch at every position heading into Bears training camp, including Shemar Turner, Neville Gallimore, Keyshaun Elliott, Terell Smith and Skyler Thomas. Can Shemar Turner finally find his role at defensive end? Can Gallimore give the Bears interior pass-rush juice? Could Keyshaun Elliott become this year's surprise linebacker story? And should Bears fans be sleeping on Terell Smith in a crowded cornerback room?Haize also dives into the biggest question facing Dennis Allen's defense: will the Bears' pass rush, run defense and new-look secondary be good enough in 2026? Chicago got younger, faster and more aggressive with additions like Devin Bush, Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman, but the pass rush still has to prove it after struggling last season. If Austin Booker, Dayo Odeyingbo and Shemar Turner do not show enough once the pads come on, could the Bears look to free agency for help?Plus, Haize reacts to voicemails about Dennis Allen's accountability, Rome Odunze's extension outlook, why it is too early to predict the NFC North, which Bears players could break out, and why Tyrique Stevenson, Terell Smith and Malik Muhammad could make the cornerback battle one of the most interesting storylines of camp.Topics include: Chicago Bears training camp, Bears defense, Dennis Allen, Shemar Turner, Austin Booker, Dayo Odeyingbo, Neville Gallimore, Keyshaun Elliott, Terell Smith, Skyler Thomas, Devin Bush, Coby Bryant, Dillon Thieneman, Tyrique Stevenson, Malik Muhammad, Rome Odunze, Caleb Williams, Bears pass rush, Bears free agency, Chicago Bears Central.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears are heading into training camp with major expectations, but today's episode of Chicago Bears Central goes beyond the usual roster talk.Haize reacts to Caleb Williams sending a loud message to the NFL about player safety and the need for more grass fields across the league. After seeing World Cup stadium standards, Caleb joined the growing player push for natural grass and safer playing surfaces — a conversation that could keep getting louder across the NFL.The show also breaks down why Jordan McFadden could become a sneaky Bears trade asset. After stepping into a tough playoff situation against the Rams and earning praise, McFadden could draw attention from other teams looking for reliable offensive line depth.Plus, Haize looks at two possible Bears cut candidates entering training camp: Kiran Amegadjie and Noah Sewell. With offensive line and linebacker depth getting tighter, both players may need strong camps to survive roster cuts.And on defense, the excitement is building around rookie safety Dillon Thieneman, who is being viewed as a potential difference-maker right away in Dennis Allen's defense. Haize also reacts to Coby Bryant's cold three-word response to being left out of safety rankings: “They gone see.” Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears enter the 2026 season with major expectations after an 11-win season, an NFC North title and a playoff win — but the national media still has doubts. On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize & C-Dub breaks down the biggest questions facing the Bears heading into training camp.Which defensive position group needs to improve the most for the Bears defense to take a real leap in 2026? Is it the defensive line, where Montez Sweat, Austin Booker, Dayo Odeyingbo, Gervon Dexter and Shemar Turner have to generate more pressure and hold up better against the run? Is it linebacker, where T.J. Edwards, Devin Bush, D'Marco Jackson, Jack Sanborn and Ruben Hyppolite must prove they can bring speed and consistency? Or is it the secondary, where Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Tyrique Stevenson, Malik Muhammad, Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman could determine whether Dennis Allen's defense shocks the NFL?Haize also reacts to fan voicemails asking how the Bears offense will fare next season, why the national media continues to doubt Chicago, and whether this Bears defense can become one of the surprise units in football.With Caleb Williams entering another year in Ben Johnson's offense, a dangerous run game led by D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, and young weapons like Colston Loveland, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden, the Bears have the pieces to prove the doubters wrong.Topics include: Chicago Bears defense, Bears 2026 season preview, Bears defensive line, Bears linebackers, Bears secondary, Montez Sweat, Austin Booker, Gervon Dexter, Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, Dennis Allen, Bears offense, national media doubts, Bears news and rumors.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears' 2026 rookie class could have a major impact sooner than people think. On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize ranks the Bears rookies by potential 2026 impact, starting with first-round safety Dillon Thieneman, who could immediately become a key piece in Dennis Allen's defense next to Coby Bryant.Haize also breaks down why Sam Roush could matter more than his box score shows in Ben Johnson's 12 and 13 personnel packages, how Zavion Thomas gives the Bears a speed weapon and return-game threat, why Malik Muhammad could push for snaps at cornerback or nickel, and what Logan Jones, Jordan van den Berg, Caden Barnett and Keyshaun Elliott need to prove heading into training camp.Plus, Ryan Poles used one perfect word to describe Ben Johnson's impact on him and the Bears organization: peace. Haize reacts to why that matters, how trust between Poles and Johnson changes the direction of the franchise, and why Bears fans may finally be seeing a real culture shift in Chicago.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears offense is getting national attention heading into 2026, but are Caleb Williams' weapons still being underrated? On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize reacts to the Bears' skill-position group being ranked 15th in the NFL despite major upside from Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, Kyle Monangai, D'Andre Swift, and rookie Zavion Thomas.Haize also breaks down why several members of the Bears' 2025 draft class must take a major step forward this season, including Ruben Hyppolite, Shemar Turner, and Luke Newman. Can they turn potential into production before training camp decisions get ruthless?Plus, the Bears defense remains one of the biggest questions of the 2026 season. Can additions like Coby Bryant, Devin Bush, and Dillon Thieneman help Chicago improve, or will the lack of pass rush opposite Montez Sweat become the biggest weakness on the roster?

The Chicago Bears rumors are heating up as Caleb Williams enters a massive Year 3 under Ben Johnson — and now Mike Florio is predicting that Caleb's next contract could be driven by the Patrick Mahomes market. Could Williams be on a path toward becoming one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL if he takes another leap in 2026?Haize breaks down what Caleb still has to prove, why the Bears' playoff expectations are rising, and whether Chicago is truly ready to compete with the top teams in the NFC. Plus, we look at three Bears players who could be in danger of getting cut after minicamp, including Roschon Johnson, Kiran Amegadjie, and James Lynch.The show also dives into Gervon Dexter responding to criticism of the Bears defense, the realistic outlook for Chicago's 2026 season, why the Rams may still be the biggest obstacle in the NFC, and two underrated sleepers — Austin Booker and Coby Bryant — who could help push this Bears team to another level.Today's Topics:

1. NFC West-How much confidence (if any) does the Cardinals selection of Chase Bisontis give you in Jeremiyah Love's chances of NOT having the same kind of rookie campaign that Ashton Jeanty had last season?-Would you be surprised if Carson Beck does NOT start five-plus games this year?-Do you see De'Zhaun Stribling as a long-term upgrade over Jauan Jennings?-Is it fair to expect a quantum leap forward for the 49ers pass rush this season?-Aside from the commonly used reasoning of Matthew Stafford is 38 and the Rams aren't likely to be picking in the top-15 any time soon, can you find another reason to justify L.A.'s selection of Ty Simpson more than a month after the fact?-Why do you think the NFL, and the Seahawks in particular, were far more bullish on Jadarian Price than any of the non-Jeremiyah Love RB's in this class? -Can you see Bud Clark and/or Julian Neal playing starter-level snaps this season?-Do you think Beau Stephens has a chance to give Anthony Bradford a serious challenge for that starting RG spot?2. NFC East-Why do you think the Giants preferred Arvell Reese over Sonny Styles? -Is Francis Mauigoa's best long-term NFL homer at tackle or guard?-Would you consider it a failure if the Commanders defense is not a top-half of the league unit or better in 2026?-Do you see Antonio Williams emerging as that second target behind Terry McLaurin in the passing game at some point this season?-Is Caleb Downs the exact kind of leader the Cowboys defense so desperately needed?-How much do Malachi Lawrence and Jaishawn Barham improve Dallas's pass rush from Day 1?-Would it be better for the Eagles if they start to envision Eli Stowers as a WR as opposed to a TE? -Even with Jeff Stoutland no longer in the building, do you think Markel Bell has an outside chance to emerge as the long-term successor to Lane Johnson at RT?3. NFC South-Just how good have the Saints set the table for Tyler Shough to have a breakout sophomore campaign?-Do you see Christen Miller developing into a three-down player?-In your view, does Avieon Terrell project as a slot-only corner at the NFL level, or can he play his fair share of snaps on the boundary as well?-Are you a fan of Rueben Bain, Jr.'s fit in Todd Bowles defense?-Why do you think Keionte Scott fell as far as he did and what role can you see him playing in the Bucs secondary outside of nickel corner?-Does the Panthers selection of Monroe Freeling suggest to you that they're not counting on Ickey Ekwonu to ever be the same again after his torn patellar tendon?-With Lee Hunter now joining Derrick Brown to man the interior of Carolina's DL, can you see the Panthers being a notoriously tough unit for opposing offenses to run the ball against this season and beyond?-Which of the Panthers two 5th-round picks do you think is more likely to turn out to be a massive bargain: Sam Hecht or Zakee Wheatley?4. NFC North-While you had some qualms about Blake Miller during the pre-draft process, do you think the Lions are a team that best fit his strengths?-Why do you think the Lions preferred Derrick Moore over similar prospects like Gabe Jacas and Zion Young to be the bookend to Aidan Hutchinson?-For reasons aside from his foot issues, just how low is Caleb Banks' downside? -Can you see Jake Golday eventually playing himself into that Andrew Van Ginkel role in Brian Flores' defense?-Which one of Brandon Cisse and Chris McClellan do you think is more likely to earn a second contract with the Packers?-Is it fair for Bears fans to expect Dillon Thieneman and Coby Bryant to solidify themselves as one of the NFL's top-10 safety duos this season?-Would you expect Logan Jones to overtake Garrett Bradbury as the Bears starting center by mid-October, if not earlier?-Which of Sam Roush or Malik Muhammad do you think makes the bigger impact for the Bears in Year 1?

Today we're looking at the 2026 Seattle Seahawks defense and going through an "up, down, or same" exercise across key position groups. DeMarcus Lawrence was at practice today. Was the retirement buzz even a slight possibility? Safety sparks some early debate as we kick off the look across position groups. The loss of Coby Bryant matters, but Bud Clark's upside, plus staples like Julian Love and the role of Nick Emmanwori, keep the arrow trending steady with potential lift. Cornerback draws some concern after Tariq Woolen's departure, with Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe anchoring a thinner depth chart that leans on rookies and unproven options. The interior line, with Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy II, Jarran Reed, and rotational help from Riley Mills, has us wondering who may be on the outside looking in when it comes time for cuts. We close with edge and linebacker, and look ahead to the importance of maintaining premium interior disruption and disciplined run defense to keep the championship-level unit rolling next season.  Support the show Get in the Flock!

The Chicago Bears are officially entering one of the most important OTA periods this franchise has had in years — and the pressure is already building.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the biggest storylines Bears fans need to watch as OTAs begin, including the battle at center between veteran Garrett Bradbury and rookie second-round pick Logan Jones. After Drew Dalman's surprise retirement, Chicago needs stability in the middle of the offensive line, and Jones is already talking about building chemistry with Caleb Williams — a relationship that could be massive for the future of the Bears' offense.

The Chicago Bears are officially back on the practice field, and the expectations around this team are only getting louder

THE GLOVES ARE OFF! Brandon "Tracks" Hiatt is GOING OFF on the "ivory tower experts" who are handing the Chicago Bears a "C" grade. They called Xavian Thomas a "reach," but Tracks is here to tell you why they're dead wrong and why this 2026 class is the "Nitro in the tank" for Caleb Williams! In this high-voltage episode of Bleav in Bears, we're dismantling the national media narrative. From the first-round theft of Dillon Thieneman to the 4.2 speed of Xavian Thomas, we break down how Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson just built the most explosive, violent roster in the NFC North. Inside the Episode: • [00:02:30] THE THEFT: Why Dillon Thieneman is the "heat-seeking missile" this secondary needed to pair with Coby Bryant. • [00:05:00] THE "REACH" DEBATE: Why Mel Kiper is wrong. We explain Ben Johnson's "Chess Piece" strategy and why you can't coach 4.2 speed. • [00:08:30] THE ASYMMETRIC ADVANTAGE: The "Google/Android" move—how flipping the field with Xavian Thomas changes the Bears' math. • [00:11:00] BUILT ON GRIT: Why Logan Jones and Sam Roush are the "dawgs" that will keep the Bears' rushing attack in the Top 3. • [00:14:00] 2026 IS THE YEAR: Why the Super Bowl window isn't five years away—it's opening RIGHT NOW at Soldier Field. Stop listening to the spreadsheets and start looking at the tape. We don't care about draft grades; we care about WINS.

CHSN host and The Score's David Haugh joins Ruthie and Clay to break down the Chicago Bears' first-round selection of Dillon Thieneman at No. 25 overall, a move Haugh says he predicted. The group dives into why there's so much excitement around the pick, how Thieneman fits into Ben Johnson's vision, and the way his speed adds another layer to a defense that's clearly gotten faster this offseason. They also look at how he could complement newly added safety Coby Bryant and what that pairing might bring to the secondary. Later they look into some of the biggest surprises across the draft, including quarterback Ty Simpson landing with the Los Angeles Rams. The crew also checks in on division movement, including what the Detroit Lions did, while Clay shares insight on his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and their first-round pick Makai Lemon.

A Super Bowl champion and Seahawks legend returns to break down what it takes to defend a title.  From handling expectations and contract pressure to maintaining the mission over BS mentality through offseason. One difficult aspect of repeating is maintaining a championship roster, but which loss is tougher to replace between Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen? Earl talks about the aspects of Bryant's game thare are most difficult to re-produce from his range on the field to his footwork and turnover production. Looking ahead to the 2026 draft, Earl has his eye on linebacker depth being an issue on defense and why competition could emerge as a priority.   Support the show Get in the Flock!

Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote detailed what we learned from safety Coby Bryant being the Bears' top priority in free agency.

Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote opened their show by detailing what we learned from safety Coby Bryant being the Bears' top priority in free agency. After that, they explained how quarterback Caleb Williams is helping make the Bears a free-agent destination. Later, Jeremy Werner of Illini Inquirer joined the show to discuss Illinois' 105-70 rout of Penn in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.

Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor dive into a busy stretch for the Bears, starting with the team trading for former New England Patriots center Garrett Bradbury following Drew Dalman's retirement. They break down how Bradbury fits into Chicago's offensive line and what the move signals about the Bears' approach to reshaping the roster. The conversation then turns to a flurry of free agency news, including additions like safety Coby Bryant, linebacker Devin Bush, and wide receiver Kalif Raymond, along with the team bringing back linebacker D'Marco Jackson. Ruthie and Clay also discuss players departing Chicago, such as cornerback Nahshon Wright signing with the Jets.

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes opened their show by reacting to the Bears bringing back left tackle Braxton Jones on a one-year deal. After that, they discussed how the Bears have been coveting a player like newly acquired safety Coby Bryant.

Free agency opened with a bittersweet start for our Seattle Seahawks as Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker signed with the Chiefs on a record-setting deal for a running back. All the best options for replacing K9 were gone by the end of the first day. So are we going to be looking toward the draft? Other departures included Boye Mafe landing with the Bengals and Coby Bryant heading to the Bears. Before discussing who is returning, we talk about how wide receiver contracts around the NFL are sparking sticker shock. Seattle's biggest wins come in-house: Rashid Shaheed re-signs on a three-year deal and, most notably, Josh Jobe returns on a contract that appears to be a steal for the production he provides. Between cornerback Riq Woolen and swing tackle Josh Jones, those participating in chat had a clear preference of who they'd like to see prioritized in the coming days.  Support the show Get in the Flock!

Legal tampering (aka NFL Free Agency) kicks off this week with Seahawks fans bracing for potential departures. We may learn as soon as Monday whether we'll say our goodbyes to Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed and others as the market tries to pull what they can from Seattle's championship roster. Safety Coby Bryant, by some reports, could be set to return. How does Kam Curl's deal set the bar? And what would be the reasoning for keeping Bryant with Ty Okada playing well off the bench in his absence? Seattle reportedly called the Eagles about Jalen Carter, but what does it really mean? Finally, Geno Smith's Seahawks legacy gets recognition from a Seattle columnist amid reports that he'll be cut by the Raiders at the start of free agency.  Support the show Get in the Flock!
