About this episode

The episode discusses the potential of Ben Johnson's offense for the 2026 season and the impact of various players from the Bears' 2023 draft class.

Hoge & Jahns are LIVE to break down the biggest question surrounding the 2026 season: just how dangerous can Ben Johnson’s offense become? The guys react to Ben Johnson’s latest comments on how he has evolved as a play caller and discuss the abundance of offensive weapons now surrounding Caleb Williams. Plus, are we overlooking Colston Loveland’s potential impact? Could the rookie tight end emerge as one of the most productive pass catchers on the team? Later, Hoge & Jahns discuss Jahns’ latest article revisiting the Bears’ 2023 draft class, including the development of Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, Gervon Dexter, Terell Smith and the different paths each player has taken.
