Chapter 1: What insights does Clay Harbor share about the Bears OTAs?
My 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. 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.
Chapter 2: How is the Bears roster shaping up during the offseason?
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. You literally have. But Marshall, you've mentored him a little bit, right? Yeah.

Chapter 3: What specific players did Clay Harbor highlight from the OTAs?
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 God.
My baby C. Yes, Tyler Ferring, all 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 sit here and have a conversation.

Chapter 4: How is Karan Amagaji performing in the Bears' left tackle competition?
Next thing you know, Grody's just, he disappears.
I did.
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 his always having his eyes on the field. That's why he gives 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 with this handwriting?
Pretty much. Pretty much. As long as I can kind of understand what I wrote, then it's good.

Chapter 5: What role do tight ends play in the Bears' offensive strategy?
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. You were kind of one of the only people that said that. And you can 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 thirty five and a half inch arms, ties his shoe standing up. He's a freak athlete, five, four, five, flat 40 as a big man played at Yale, only played played under 20 football games at Yale.
Chapter 6: How is Caleb Williams adapting in the Bears' training camp?
So obviously this is a project. And when I'm watching last year, after he has some time with Dan Roshar, 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 of 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.
I'm not saying he's a favorite, but he is getting the number two left tackle snaps right now. We saw that. OTAs, obviously, but I think there's still a chance that he could factor in this competition.
It does feel like left tackle isn't the issue that we thought it was.
Chapter 7: What concerns are there about the Bears' receiver room?
Or maybe we've just been talking so much about the defensive line that it's become secondary.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I think Braxton, obviously, you heard what Ben Johnson said. He said Braxton's body is feeling a lot better right now. He's healthier. He's in a much different position than last year. And we've seen Braxton Jones, he has 44 stars. We've seen this guy play good football last year. So there's a competition between Braxton, Theo, and Braxton.
ozzy last deal by the way playing right tackle deal playing right tackle so he's obviously going to be that swing guy i think he's still going to factor in come training camp but is there going to be as big of a drop off as we think from ozzy being out no they were all kind of similar type players so i don't think that's something you have to worry about especially when you got a guy like ben johnson who's uber aware of all of his players their strengths their weaknesses if they're playing against the rams and you got miles garrett over there do you think
I come in, if I'm a tight end, I come to that film room and they say, hey, sorry, Clay, guess what you're doing this week? You're chipping. You're helping on the block. We're double teaming this guy. Ben Johnson knows what his players can do and what they can't do.

Chapter 8: What predictions does Clay Harbor make for Austin Booker this season?
Well, and I feel like that may be one of the best examples is, okay, Rams, you've got the defensive player of the year, the single season sack record holder now. And when you're visualizing how the Bears put this together, say they have to face them again, we go back to the playoff game.
That's the part of it where, and we had a texter say this earlier, and they were like, man, when you think about how left tackle is unstable, maybe it's not the worst thing that they got a third tight end in the third round. I feel like that is exactly the mindset that you're talking about right there.
Yeah, the tight ends make sense. And I know you were out there, Grody. All three of them made plays yesterday in OTAs, and I was very impressed. Sam Roush took a hit yesterday. Tom Rauch took a hit to the ground by Nefi Sewell, tackled him. I'm like, what are you doing, bro? It's our own guys. There's no pads on. No pads. That was a hard. That's one of the harder hits I've seen and no pads.
You'd get fined for that back in the day. But Rauch impressed me. He's explosive. Everything we saw in rookie camp was out there with great rookie camp. Explosive guy. Had a nice play down the seam. Got behind the linebacker in front of the safety. Caught the ball. Cole Komet. Consistent Cole, I'm going to call him. He caught some passes. Looks big. Looks fast.
Nobody's been talking about this, but I feel like Colson Loveland has gotten a lot bigger. He looks bigger, stronger. He's as smooth as you can be for a tight end. The special thing for me, a lot of tight ends, when you're running these routes, these out routes, these dig routes, which is tougher tight ends, they have to break down. They have to pattern. One, two, three.
Wide receivers take the one step and they cut it. That's the difference between a tight end and a wide receiver. It's A semi-truck taking a stop versus the speed car. Colson Loveland can run like a race car. He's just a different breed of athlete. He looks bigger. He didn't have an off-season last year coming off a shoulder surgery. His ceiling is the roof. I think that's the saying, Marshall.
But his ceiling, I think he has a chance to be the best tight end in the league this year. Call me crazy.
It made sense when Michael Jordan said it. I will ask this. Is it crazy to ask if a 6'6 guy can run with good pad level? Because that's essentially what you're describing here.
He's really good at the second-level slips. He's got good releases, the quicks. I was noticing his releases. He's got a DB pressed on him, and I'm over there. I go, ooh, and I move like I'm running the route because I go, what a release. Then he's got a second-level linebacker. He slips him without losing any speed. Tough for a tight end to do, especially when you're 6'6", 255 pounds.
