Hard Knocks Sneak Peek: Chicago Bears' Top Picks Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze on HBO | CHGO Bears Pod

On today's episode of the CHGO Bears Podcast, we react to a sneak peek from HBO's Hard Knocks showing Caleb Williams being put on the spot in a pre-draft meeting from the New York Giants. How well did he perform in their interview process? Plus, Rome Odunze finds some camera time and impresses the Giants' brass with his response to a question.
Later, we analyze the Chicago Bears' range of outcomes in the 2024 season. Is a Super Bowl in the realm of possibilities? We debate.
We close it out with an NFC North team preview. Today we bring on Luke Braun from Locked on Vikings to preview the Minnesota Vikings. Are they no longer a threat in the division? Are they destined to finish last in the NFC North? Braun answers those questions with Mark Carman, Nicholas Moreano and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Live Podcast.

When it comes to what us as bears fans think vs what people who cover rival teams in the division think the truth is often somewhere in the middle…. Except when it came to Fields lol. We were wrong there

[@keithhunley1127]

C4 is a pretty good product. Especially pre work out drink.

[@imso703]

I feel like this Bears team has been on a similar trajectory as the 2014 to 16 cubs since Poles showed up. The meatball in me says this is that 2015 suprise showing type of season.

[@CHGOSports]

Hopefully they make a sudden rise like the 2015 Cubs did! If so, you know what the following season will look like 👀

[@imso703]

@@CHGOSports 😅

[@stavroszaras6298]

We have to keep in mind that Vikings fans are still sour about the Ryan Poles choosing the Bears situation. They often try to tear down Poles when given the chance.

[@MichaelRuemmele-pi6cq]

Yeah sorry, this Minnesota dude just lost all credibility. The rebuild is too slow? It's been 2 years, they won 4 more games last year than the year before, and the roster is markedly improved. Also, the offense is there but the defense isn't??? Wow he's an idiot

[@rahkim0431]

Carm you look great with the fuzz brother

[@ldub8061]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@kylewubz8713]

Beard is always the move.

[@HiteshV13]

He's taking a page out of Flus' book

[@CoherentTakes]

Wait did he say the Bears offense is better than the defense? After the defense was looking like a top 5 unit in the second half of last season?? We should be easily in the playoffs thanks man!

[@johnwatkins1944]

Y'all act like Shane Waldron doesn't have his own playbook 🤣🤣 I'm sure that play from hard knocks isn't in his playbook lol

[@keithhunley1127]

Another point, the Bears have never been on HBO Hardknocks either so a little reverse look.

[@flattailbob]

Braggs is the one breaking bread with Bears President Kevin Warren. Don’t understand why he can’t use his influence to bring back Family Fest.

[@keithhunley1127]

Curious even though the jaqs are basic our NFL ambassador to London I believe the Bears are considered the home team interesting.?! Go Bears BearDown

[@kylemccormack7030]

The playoffs should be the minimum expectation. We need to stop with this narrative of there's going to be growing pains this year and Caleb Williams progression is the only thing that matters. We were 7-10 last year with below average QB play and we have only gotten more talented in the offseason. I don't see a scenario where the team is equally bad or worse, yet Williams looks good. Poles and Flus are 10-24 in 2 years, you need to be winning by year 3.

[@cilantro619]

if the lions could have made the superbowl last year the bears def can this year. the lions had one of the worst secondaries in the nfl. they had kindle vildor starting for them. who was their great pass rusher next to hutch? we hyperfocus so much on the bears not having an all pro at every position meanwhile teams like the lions have practice squad guys starting for them in the nfc title game. the fucking chiefs didnt have an nfl caliber receiver last year. why is it so crazy to say the bears can make the superbowl. its not saying they will, its saying if things go right they have that chance. you can probably say that for half the nfl. its not that big a deal. the difference comes with probability. also i can't wait till you guys stop underselling caleb. he's not just another rookie.

[@savontamurph504]

I was rolling with dude from Minnesota until he said the offense is where we what it but he don't know about the defense?? Ok my guy!

[@williamcedeno1275]

No way these idiots have a pre-show meeting and they said, “Yup, this is a solid plan….” Hoge needs to come back and bust some heads.

[@nicholasmoreano]

What did you have an issue with exactly? Also, let's calm it down with calling people idiots.

[@jamespetway4909]

get realistic they're not going to the Superbowl let's just win some games first.

[@ShooterxMaGavin]

Mark has officially made this show unbearable to listen to. It's a damn shame.

[@terrancewilliams1045]

Yo what yall got against Mark damn it’s always sumthin. Mark this Mark that. Geez

[@brenosulzbacher]

​@@terrancewilliams1045dude is just fucking annoying. I Just clicked on this and foward a little bit just to listen to him wandering about the Daboll and Caleb interaction and basically implying that Caleb think for too much time.

[@tomtsu5923]

He’s brutal

[@mmatip123]

To slow… he’s been here 2 1/2 years wtf

[@user-bi8wq5jg8l]

PLEASE CARM don't do the London voice again

[@nubisnotstump]

Backwards hats 😂😂😂 classy 🤡

[@spaceghost8995]

Until they SIGN I don't consider them Bears.

[@CoC_Lord]

Overreacting they’re likely holding out until tomorrow where hard knocks can record the signings. It would be one thing if it were just Caleb but Rome holding out is out of character for him

[@brenosulzbacher]

​@@CoC_Lordnot considering them Bears is bullshit, but do you really think they have to sign the original contract on camera? They can literaly just sign today and enact the whole thing for HBO with a fake contract later
