GL Pod: Adam Hoge on if the Chicago Bears are BACK

Go Long Podcast

One year ago, we tip-toed through the Chicago Bears’ quarterback graveyard at Go Long. Oh my, was it very dangerous terrain.

But now? The 2024 first overall pick, Caleb Williams, is paired with one of the sport’s most innovative offensive minds in Ben Johnson.

Is Chicago positioned to launch itself into NFC contention? We’ll be taking a close look at this franchise soon in print. There’s a lot to love. But first, here’s excellent Bears beat reporter/podcaster Adam Hoge of CHGO on the Go Long Pod.

Hoge has covered the team since 2011 and shares a ton of insight on this hopeful moment.

* How were the Bears able to lure Johnson, the No. 1 coaching candidate the last two years? Money talks. But there must’ve been more.

* Who’s in the charge? The Bears have a different hierarchy with Kevin Warren, Ryan Poles and Johnson. Will everyone sing Kumbaya in 2025 and beyond?

* O-Line Overhaul. Chicago wasted no time fixing what ails this roster.

* A sharp look at the Ben & Caleb football marriage and why it will/won’t work this season.
