Unknown 0:12

Herb immediately showed he was going to be somebody asking meaningful questions. He's going to ask a question that everyone else in the room is going to want to know the answers. What then happens that they can't get out and get snapped before? It's a, it's a great question. Well, thank you so much for joining us. This has been a lot of fun.

Mark Grote 0:57

Yes, that is the answer. It's Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Yes, Herb Howard of The Bigs, Bears reporter for The Bigs Media is here. You can follow him on X. If you don't, here's your opportunity to follow him right now at HerbHoward411. You can follow at The Bigs Media on YouTube for the latest from Herb. I do have to give an update on my own personal sweet smells here. and my daily routine. I did make a purchase yesterday. I did buy a two-for-one situation, a two-for-one, two-in-one Dove product in the bottle. Here's the problem. I couldn't find the three-in-one. I'm a three-in-one guy. It's got the soap. It's got the conditioner.

How do the Bears’ offensive numbers this year compare to last season?

Mark Grote 1:40

It's got the shampoo. I couldn't find the three-in-one. Are we lost three-in-one as a society? That's my lifestyle.

Marshall Harris 1:48

You know, if they don't do three-in-one, they can make more money off of you by having you buy several products. So I'm surprised that it's gone this long, to be honest.

Mark Grote 1:56

Shouldn't the shampoo and conditioner be good enough as soap as well, right? I mean, that's a scam, right? It's got to be. Herb, you're the expert, man. You're the man with the sweet smells. We're going left here. We are going... No, no, no. We're not going left.

Marshall Harris 2:11

We went wide left. We missed the mark. We went away.

Herb Howard 2:15

It's not even a doink? No, no. Listen, I'm trying to stick around here a little while. All right. I just got on the team for a while.

What makes Caleb Williams’ early‑camp play “elite‑level”?

Herb Howard 2:23

I'm trying to hang out. Don't put me in that spot.

Mark Grote 2:24

Let me bail you out because it's a day off today for the Chicago Bears.

Marshall Harris 2:28

Yeah.

Mark Grote 2:28

So I asked Fishbane this question. It's like a nice time to take a deep breath and look back on camp so far. How would you summarize... the this camp and maybe a theme of this camp maybe even relative to what we saw last year so ben johnson training camp 2.0 now that you have a chance to sit down here in studio take a deep breath how are you looking at things so far for this version of the chicago bears

Herb Howard 2:58

I think I would say on schedule, offensively, because they are so far ahead of where they were at this time last year. And that's to be expected, sure, but it also feels good and it looks good. The way they started camp that first week, they were dominating out there on the practice field day in and day out, consistently creating explosive plays. In the passing game, you saw Caleb Williams at the very top of his game delivering the ball with great anticipation, accuracy, timing with his receivers. That's what you were looking for. You were talking about all these runner's balls where they can catch it in stride, create big plays after the catch. You saw a lot of that. And then you got some surprises from some guys.

Herb Howard 3:34

Khalif Raymond is a much better football player than I knew him to be. Obviously, I've never watched him up close and personal every day. But getting to do that, you see a greater skill set than you thought him. He's a kick returner. He's a gadget guy. You can use him here and there on offense.
