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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
