Who is Herb Howard and what insights does he bring?
Bears beat reporter for the Bigs.
Herb Howard is joining us. Herb Howard is here from the Bigs. 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 answer to.
What then happens that they can't get out and get snapped before them? It's a great question.
Well, thank you so much, Herb, for joining us. This has been a lot of fun.
It's always fun with you guys. You are absolutely amazing. I listen to you guys when you don't invite me, so it's really, really cool. With Rahimi Harrison-Groney on 104.3 The Score. That's right. Herb Howard is on X at Herb Howard 411. He is, yes, the Bears reporter for Biggs Media and host of the Herb Howard Show. Follow at the Biggs Media on YouTube for the latest episodes. All of that stuff. And Herb joins us in studio right now. and Marshall, he smells great. And that, to me, that is bonus points on top. That is an underrated thing because some people don't know the right amount to put on. Some people just have bad smells. Are you talking about me? No, not you at all. I don't think you're a cologne wearer.
No, I do never forget my deodorant, though, unlike some people in this studio. Whoa, shots fired. I got my shower in today. I did my duty as a human. Yeah. Hygiene's important, right? It matters. It matters. Put a little effort into it, basically. Especially when you're going to be stuck in the studio with us or if he's at Hallas Hall, he's crammed in that little bitty room with all the media members. Hey, y'all are up there during training camp. You know what it's like when you come back in from practice. A little hot out there. That's true. And it's like, hey, did we not know we were going to be in closed quarters today?
Yeah.
It's all good. Can I interest you in some spray deodorant? It's all good. No, it's funny because if you looked on my desk out there at House Hall, what do we call those? Carols? What are they? Dividers? Sure. Cubicles. Cubicles. That's what they are. Why couldn't I come up with the cubicles? Carols? Is that what you said? Yeah, I did say carols, which is like a term from like fifth grade. Made me think of Christmas carols, but go ahead. Yeah, like Carol's, whatever. But you would probably see some bear claw deodorant, which I subscribe and wear, and like a 30 suntan lotion because you always got to have that stuff for camp and whatnot, which is exciting to think about too. Yeah, man. It's going to be an exciting camp.
We got to see what new guys are going to be a part of this camp. They did really, really well in the draft last year, specifically on the offensive side of the ball. Most people believe they need to replicate that on the defensive side of the ball this year. They get started tomorrow evening. We'll see what it looks like. And here is where I want to start, Herb, here on the Rahimi Harris and Grody Show. It is Herb Howard in studio, Marshall and Grody here at your service. It dawned on me yesterday, just going through all the position groups and seeing where the real competition is, that I could make a real case of not being upset if the Bears were to take a corner back at number 25 overall. When I think about...
Tyreek Stevenson being benched at the end of last season when I think about Jalen Johnson looking as vulnerable as I've ever seen him understanding that it's an injury and that he played seven games last year I just need to see Jalen understanding that Kyler Gordon played three games last year with soft tissue issues understanding that Terrell Smith didn't play last year because of a torn patellar tendon and for that matter has had six starts in his previous two years and And then you have Zay Frazier, Jalen Jones, and Dallas Flowers, who are probably perfect depth guys. But Herb, am I crazy for thinking that at this moment, fluid situation, that the Bears should take a corner at least with one of their first three picks in this draft?
No, I don't think you're wrong with that. I think there's two reasons why that makes sense.
