The Bearly Educated Podcast

The 2022 pre-season has begun, and the Bears are at camp. We talk about things that have happened so far, who looks good, and what needs are still needing to be addressed. It definitely has a different feel than training camp from the last regime. We also talk a bit about the baseball trade deadline, and some interesting stats regarding the best NFL scoring defenses and offenses of all-time.

After a brief summer break, we're back! We talk Bears summer happenings, including rookie Jaquan Brisker not having signed yet, as well as what we'd like to see in training camp. We then look to some league-wide news, touch on baseball, and salute the late John "Moon" Mullin, longtime Bears reporter.

This is the slowest time of the year for the NFL, but we've got Bears stuff to discuss! We'll also look at some league-wide things happening, a quick peek into baseball, and more!

This is it! This is the all-important meaningless predictions episode! But seriously, why do so many national experts think the Bears will be worse this year than last? We talk about that, and how this year's roster stacks up to last years.

Bears GM Ryan Poles has completed his first draft. We discuss what we like, what we didn't like, what gives us optimism, and what gives us pause. 

Thanks for listening!

Rather than looking at specific players, we discuss the Bears possible directions in the draft. There are so many holes and lack of depth, that there are several possibilities. Will Poles trade back for more picks? Are there any current Bears on the roster that still may get traded? We discuss. 

Thanks for listening!!

With the Bears still in kind of a holding pattern in regards to free agents, we discuss what we like and don't like about what they have done (and haven't done). With the draft a few weeks away, we should get a better picture of what Ryan Poles is thinking.

The Bears have made some free agency moves, but not much seems to be focused around helping Justin Fields yet. Does Poles have a plan?

General Manager Ryan Poles is starting to make the Chicago Bears into his image, and he starts with a doozy: trading Khalil Mack to the Chargers for 2 draft picks. We discuss the positives and negatives to this move. Poles also releases Eddie Goldman and Tarik Cohen.

We are thrilled to have Max Markham joining us again for this episode! Max talks about what the Bears can take away from this past Super Bowl, what we can look for from the new Poles and Eberflus regime, what we learned about Justin Fields year one, and more!
