  • NFL Player Rankings Are A BAD LOOK For Bears GM Ryan Poles w/Jason McKie

    NFL Player Rankings Are A BAD LOOK For Bears GM Ryan Poles w/Jason McKie
    Jul 15 2025
    On this week's episode of The Chicago Bears Podcast, Pat The Designer and Jason McKie dig into the latest NFL power rankings—and what they reveal about GM Ryan Poles and his roster-building strategy. They start with a critical look at Poles' track record in landing blue-chip talent, highlighting key misses from past drafts and trades. Despite praise for his aggressive moves, there’s a growing sentiment that the foundational talent isn’t there yet. Still, many believe these players need time to develop under new HC Ben Johnson. Next, they shift to Poles' offseason adjustments, including shoring up the offensive line and bringing veteran leadership to the locker room. The question looms: Will these moves finally translate to on-field improvement? The conversation heats up around rookie tight end Colston Loveland, who faces pressure in a comparison to Brock Bowers after impressive college tape and a top-10 draft slot. With expectations sky-high, Chicago's offensive future could hinge on his development. Finally, they wrap up with a light-hearted segment, naming their Dawgs of the Week—spotlighting standout performances and who’s trending in a positive direction. Tune in for an honest, data-driven dissection of where the Bears stand and what could define their season—line-by-line, pick-by-pick.

  • Bears Ryan Poles Extension Sparks Accountability Concerns in Chicago

    Bears Ryan Poles Extension Sparks Accountability Concerns in Chicago
    Jul 14 2025
    In this episode of The Chicago Bears Podcast, Pat The Designer and Shea Norling tackle the fallout from GM Ryan Poles’ five-year contract extension through 2029. They begin by questioning why the deal was struck now, and whether it signals the front office is prioritizing stability over accountability despite a 15–36 record. Shea points out that tying Poles’ fate to Ben Johnson may make business sense—but still feels premature given Poles’ mixed results. Pat calls it a bold “all-in” move, positioning the Bears to commit fully to Poles’ vision—but he also warns it could mask deeper issues under the guise of stability. Later, they debate whether this extension actually removes pressure to win now or simply hands Poles more time without demanding immediate success . Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Why extend Poles now—strategic move or misstep? 00:08:00 – Pat: This is a win-now, all-in approach 00:16:30 – Is guaranteed stability just a facade? 00:26:00 – Does the extension eliminate accountability?

  • NFL’s Worst Deal? Tremaine Edmunds’ Contract Under Fire | Bears Debate

    NFL’s Worst Deal? Tremaine Edmunds’ Contract Under Fire | Bears Debate
    Jul 11 2025
    In this episode of The Chicago Bears Podcast, Pat The Designer and Shea Norling take a hard look at the Bears' linebacker group under new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. They kick things off by discussing Tremaine Edmunds’ four-year, $72 million deal, which has been widely criticized as one of the NFL’s worst contracts. Despite being reliable in tackles, Edmunds hasn’t lived up to his price tag and enters a make-or-break season. Shea and Pat examine how Dennis Allen’s aggressive, man-coverage scheme could unlock more from the unit—highlighting T.J. Edwards as a physical, veteran presence whose playing style aligns perfectly with Allen’s system, despite a down year in 2024 . They also shine a spotlight on rookie Ruben Hyppolite II, whose blazing 4.39 speed has made him a frontrunner for the strongside linebacker job, and could provide much-needed explosiveness off the edge. With questions around veteran value, scheme fit, and rookie upside, the guys ask: can this linebacker group—and in particular Edmunds—finally deliver under new leadership, or will it be the weak link in the defense? #ChicagoBears #Linebackers #TremaineEdmunds #TJEdwards #RubenHyppolite #DennisAllen #NFL2025 #BearsDefense
