The guys are joined by Brenden Moore to discuss the latest on the Bears stadium project, the city’s final push, and the political battle involving Governor J. B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson. Later in the show, Hoge & Jahns react to comments from Bears quarterbacks coach JT Barrett on Caleb Williams’ growth, handling criticism, and improving his completion percentage entering Year 2 under Ben Johnson. Plus, the guys dive into the latest questions at nickel back, including concerns surrounding Kyler Gordon and what the Bears may do next defensively.
