By God, that's Clay Harbor's music. He's not running down a tunnel. I'm not Jim Ross, but we're happy to have him in studio. Clay Harbor, frequent guest on our station, the nine-year NFL veteran, co-host with David Hahn, Ruthie Polinsky on the big pro football show on CHSN. And you got the three-man weave today, Clay. Usually it's, I think, just me and Marshall to have the Marshall, Grody, Layla crew. This is a four-person panel. I love this.
When I woke up, I knew it was going to be a special day.
What insights does Clay Harbor share about Bears OTAs?
Get to sit in between Marshall Harris, Mark Grote. We got Layla Rahimi smiling at the end of the corner over there. It's just a great day with all three of you guys in here. Yeah, usually I get two. I have to deal with only Marshall, and he's picking on me. But it's good to have you guys here as some backup. Grote already told me he protects me. I protect you, man. Didn't you call Marshall Unk?
Yeah.
He's Unk. That's an endearing term.
Marshall is Unk. It's endearing. You said that like you're that much younger than me, though. That's what's crazy. People call you Unk.
However, though, Marshall, you've mentored him a little bit, right? Yeah. In the media spaces. I mean, so I think that you should just accept it. It's a term of endearment.
It's a term of endearment, yes. He's my baby T. Brody really wants to mentor him.
Is that what you're saying, Brody? Brody, he's my baby T? He's your baby T, yes. Oh, my gosh. My baby C. Yes, Tyler Ferengel, your baby T. And I'm glad that we got the bonus yesterday. We get to hang out. We got to hang out with Clay yesterday along the sidelines watching an OTA on the far fields of Halas Hall.
Grody's locked in, by the way, guys, at Halas Hall, for all that you know. Some guys will sit there and talk and hang out a little bit. you're sitting here have a conversation next thing you know grody's just he disappears it's like the homer simpson into the bush he finds the best vantage point he's got his notepad out i mean this guy's locked in so just need to give grody a shout out thank you for us always having his eyes on the field that's why i give such great analysis can i tell you something that i did notice out there yesterday that i didn't bring up in any of these scribbled notes i have here or over here and it's something that you'll appreciate are you a doctor at
this handwriting pretty much pretty much as long as i can kind of understand what i wrote then it's good because you were the one who said i think it was that last year karan amagaji looked good during camp i want to say for a while like you were kind of one of the only people that said that and you could kind of talk for yourself in a second but I did notice Karan Amagaji playing left tackle on the second line. I don't know if he looked good or not because it's impossible to tell without pads, but he did look healthy. That's the best I can say. He looked healthy. He looked quick out there. I don't know if he's going to be a player or truly is in this left tackle competition, but I did see a different version of him yesterday.
That's a good thing, isn't it?
Yeah. So at training camp last year, Karana Magaji was one of the guys I wanted to watch because you just look at his physical build. I mean, this guy's got 35 and a half inch arms, ties his shoes standing up. He's a freak athlete, five flat 40 as a big man. Played at Yale, of course. only played under 20 football games at Yale, so obviously this is a project. And when I'm watching last year, after he had some time with Dan Rochard, I'm starting to see this guy run off the ball. I'm starting to see him use his length. I'm starting to see some of those good things. Obviously he gets injured. I'm not ready to write this guy off yet. He was put in a couple bad situations. We remember when Braxton got the concussion the day before the Monday night football game in Minnesota, which is one of the loudest stadiums I've ever played in.
I know people don't think that, but... Minnesota, you can't hear yourself think. So, terrible situation for him, but I think this kid still has a chance.
