Description
Rich and Dan host the world’s only podcast to mention Taquan Mizzell and Donald Trump within eight minutes of each other. In discussing Bears spring practices, they highlight elements they’re monitoring during the offseason. Specifically: QB Mitch Trubisky’s grasp of the offense (3:39), how chess pieces Tarik Cohen, Cordarrelle Patterson and David Montgomery fit into the offense (10:20), the defense’s comfort under new coordinator Chuck Pagano (13:50) and the kicker competition (23:07). Ahem, they also had fun laying odds on whether Robbie Gould will kick for the Bears in 2019. In That’s Just Stupid, Rich and Dan scratch their heads over the Jets’ moves — some of which involve Bears connections — that "scream incompetence" (29:26). They share their first impressions of new secondary coach Deshea Townsend (41:45) and outside linebackers coach Ted Monachino (46:47). Finally, the two kick off the Tribune’s crowning of the 100 best players in franchise history by going behind the scenes of the staff's spirited discussions (54:06).
