Bears offense Fun & Not-Fun Facts with Kevin Fishbain | Hoge & Jahns 

I LIKE THE CHGO POD BUT THIS ONE IS MY HANDS DOWN FAVORITE CHICAGO BEARS POD

It's a great show when all three of you are on.

Huge congrats to FishMan!!!

Yo congrats Fishman! Great to hear we’ve been following excellence for all these years!

Fishbain might as well just be apart of this podcast at this point

The Fishman writes great articles!

Love it when the Fishman is on congrats on the award 🎉

The awkward pauses of FishMan looking this up made it more real and enjoyable.

I think Kevin Fishbain got the award because of his awesome interaction with fans. Writing articles using their mock drafts, allowing fans a platform to speak with him through The Athletic app after games, and he’s stat nerd that brings relevance to how good or bad things are going.

Congratulations Fishman!!!

i was sitting here yelling CAM MEREDITH at my computer hahaha

Bears offered Montgomery more money, but he chose the Lions.

I think it's worth a mention. The strength of the Bears schedule as we stand today. Bears played the following Wildcard weekend teams: Packers(2 games), Lions(2 games ), Chiefs (1), Bucs (1), and Browns(1) and played Div playoff weekend teams - the Packers (2), Lions (2), Chiefs, and Bucs. Out of Bears 10 losses, 6 of them came from 4 top 8 teams in the NFL. Doesn't make me feel any better but still a strong schedule that no one expected.

But wasn’t that the problem we all saw from Getsy since he’s been here? He doesn’t know how to adjust from his original game plan when the defense adjusts to it.

Good work guys 👍

The Fishman cometh… again!

How are you all going to be upset at us for calling you out for training camp when you all literally crowned Jordan Love as bad before he even had his first full season?

Kmet is one special dude.

I am going to believe the players that ACTUALLY play the game of football on this one, and say that Coaching and the scheme was just horrendous

I liked the way the way the Packers and the Lions' draft players they hit on a lot of talented players.

Fish is goated

I don't think Kevin's not so fun fact's were supposed to really lend points to the 'trade back and draft more help for fields' camp but that's what it really seemed to do.

Caleb is good on the Field, but is he a strong leader in the locker room & off the field? I’m hearing that some of the players of Caleb didn’t get along with him in the locker room 🤔if he isn’t a good locker room leader on & off the field than Poles won’t draft him, remember with Poles it’s not just how good a player is but how good of a person they are, example Jalen Carter, didn’t like who he was as a person (didn’t say it like that but that’s why they passed)🤔🤔🤔

To answer the question about bigger gaps between WR1 and WR2 on the Bears, Brandon Marshall in 2012 had 1133 more yards than Earl Bennett. That's with no players from other positions between them either.

Less than two minutes in and Jahns used the S in Illinois. Time to go back to the headphone set up

Rams also drafted Byron Young. Him and Turner had 8-9 sacks

Not Fish Facts…Fish food for thought

28:10 you can’t get another DJ Moore but you are so certain on the next Patrick? Lmao.

the nick names rofl!

These coaches we’ve interviewed aren’t going to change anything. Should’ve went for a home run hire and got Harbaugh

CENTER IS A MUST MUST MUST MUST PICK AND YOUR NJTS IF YOU ODN'T THINK HARRIS OR THE OTHER TWO BIG WR INT HIS DRAFT WOULD NOT HELP FIELDS AND KMET. THATS LIKE A MINI RICE AND TAYLOR. IT WOULD SLOW DOWN THE PASS RUSH DOWN AND GIVE FIELDS MORE YARDS RUSHING

Coaching is everything, if we had a great OC that uses his strengths Fields would be great, I played Tight End at NIU, we were 2-10, we ended up getting a new OC kept same QB then went 9-3 next season, because OC can change everything & QB play….

Jahns saying Greg Roman should be the fallback tells you a lot about him...

To be fair if we are looking at Hurts to Smith shouldn’t we compare that to Fields/Kmet

Difference makers are sitting right there with the gifts to play football. Draft those guys.

Guys you’re killing me! The easy comparison you’re trying to make is not JF1 passing to his #1 receiver vs other QB passing to their #1 receiver. The correct comparison is JF1 passing to DJ Moore this year as his #1 receiver vs his passing numbers last year passing to Mooney as his #1 receiver. I bet both years his stats shows it doesn’t matter who the receivers are JF1 always has better stats targeting his #1. He doesn’t get to #2 at the rate he needs to…he’s too often only focusing on his main target!

I’m totally down do play some MLBShowdown.

What's up with Eric Bieniemy? And I have Olsen as a good plan B option

Another nice little fact when people bring up the 4th qtr fields avg a Whopping….. 7 pass attempts per 4th qtr how is that not on play calling?

JF year 1- Nagy as coach-Offense set up for opposite style QB in AD, Not allowed to start 1sr few games. Put in tough situation early JF year 2- Total rebuild, League worst D. Worst O Line. No WR’s. Sacked most in League. 2nd OC who never called plays, tried to make him a pocket QB. JF year -3. Early O line injuries and 4 games missed early. Odd coaching firing, weird vibe. Ends year improving in all categories in spite of anemic Offensive game plans. 2nd highest Passer Rating in 1st (scripted) opposite at end of games. (OC problems). Mid range passing attack non existent (scheme problems) Great intangibles. Great Character, Great Leader, Hard worker. So tell me why people think all he will be is a Lamar Jackson Type? He’s bigger and faster than LJ, Throws better than LJ. I hear $ on rookie contract is reason to pick Caleb. How many rookie contracts in picks could we get over the next 2-3 years for a trade down? What’s that value? Finally, I’m afraid Caleb, with all his other interests, business, fashion and such, he will retire early after a few years, especially if thing are tough for him. Please let me know what’s wrong with my logic. I admit I’ve flipped several times this year on JF (mostly reactions during or after games) but when you look at everything, the lions share of the fault is not on JF. Bear Down!

Bears need a RB that legit worries opponents. Johnson looks slow. Herbert CANNOT block and doesn't punish anyone .

Do you guys think you know more than the players? Because they all blame getsy and not fields

R. Johnson can throw the ball. Option pass wasn't used.

As much as flus supposedly coaches protect the football, I feel they'd coach the play making abilities out of Williams

Dj Moore me had the best yr. In career! Hands down! But not because of Justin? Yeah I guess so..

If we hire Greg Roman it’s because we want to be a middling franchise forever.

So it's not all coaching fault for his 4th quarter performance which you just said it's Justin but not gesty but you see his 1 quarter performance you all yeah thats gesty yeah guys the first scripted drive 😢you people sad dont you think if gesty has more those drives scripted the 4th justin showed he can execute them drives its 100 percent coaching

What is this? A smash Justin party!??

Take it from a Packer fan, we would love if you guys kept Fields.

They told Fields not to focus on running this whole season because they wanted to see him pass, if they allowed him to run and pass we would have won more games guaranteed….

Kobie turner

MY THREE TOP PICKS ARE WALDRON BUT HE SI SO HOT GOOD CHANCE HE WILL BE GONE NEXT YEAR THAT COOLS ME OFF A LITTLE, KUBIAK , AND THIRD GUY NOT MUCH OC EXPERIENCE BUT VERY WELL ROUNDED AND A UP AND COMER FOR NOW ROBINSON FROM THE RAMS

Jahns is becoming such a Fields hater lol shits so annoying

Draft Caleb Williams with 1 and Nabers with 9. Then trade JF1

Why the hell should we hire Greg Roman? Lamar Jackson got much better after Roman left.

hoge got rocked by that first fact, hes not very comfy with talking bad about fields even when its true facts, its very odd. and not true , the year before mooney have 1000 yards with fields cause back then mooney was the target fields starred down only, this season its moore and mooney are not even besties with fields anymore and Bagent had no issue finding Mooney across all his games, plus he had 7 to 9 diffrent target pr game, I bet the guys not getting a single pass from fields LOVED that by bagent you have the facts if you want to see them, and just look at how Fields is 99% starring down his first read only, like fixated on it 100% this is why he cant process more targets if he had not decided pre snap. and why cant Formann work RB??? if he is helthy>

Continuity... I would draft C, T, G, trade Borum if we can get a 5 , 6? Move up?

How about renaming the podcast to "The Archie and Jughead Show"?

Imagine being stuck in a classroom with any of them as a teacher……total snooze fest 😅

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD IT DOES MATTER IF YOU ARE ONLY THROWING 5 YARDS PASSES i HOPE TO GOD YOU HAVE A HIGFH COMPLETION ANBD HOW MANY UNDRAFTED ROOKIE QBS ARE PLAYING-THAT SI A VERY SCREWED NUMBER

GREG ROMAN WHAT THE HELL TALKING ABOUT--------HE HAS NEVER HAD GOOD PASSING NUMBERS WITH IS OFFENSE NEVER. IF FIELDS IS HERE IWANT A GUY WHO CAN TAKE HIM TO THE NEXT PASSING LEVEL OR IF IT WILLAMS A GOOD PASSING OFFENSE NO ROMAN AND NO COLLEGE COACH NO EXPERIENCE BEARS HAVE DONE THAT SHIT ENOUGH

Hire Waldron, Draft Williams and sign Russell Wilson

Hoge went on and on about John Michael Schmitz all draft, off season, and season and ended 32/32 for centers.

Incorrect, Fishbrain; The number one complaint by most everyone RE your appearances ...is your appearances.

Majority of these are not OC interviews they are position coach interviews. NFL insiders are the worst
