Ep 968NOW AND LATER: Ben Johnson’s impact on the Bears, with Dionne Miller and Peggy Kusinski
It’s a special Hoge & Jahns edition as Jahns is joined by Dionne Miller and Peggy Kusinski to break down one of the most intriguing stretches in recent Bears history. They start with the main event: the early impact of Ben Johnson in Year 1 with the Chicago Bears. How different does this feel compared to past head coaches like Matt Eberflus, John Fox, Marc Trestman, and Lovie Smith? Is there any overlap with Matt Nagy, or is this something entirely new? The conversation digs into Johnson’s influence on the roster—from a clear investment in the offensive line to adding playmakers like Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III—and what it all says about the team’s long-term vision. They also zoom out to this moment in Chicago sports, with Caleb Williams connecting with rising stars like Pete Crow-Armstrong and Connor Bedard—and why the city feels like it’s entering a new era. To close things out, the crew circles back to the stadium conversation and what it could mean for the future of the franchise both on and off the field. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
