How Ryan Poles Is Quietly Shutting Up Critics This Offseason w/Jurko

In this episode of The Chicago Bears Podcast, Pat The Designer and ESPN Chicago’s Jurko begin with a heartfelt tribute to Chicago sports radio legend Harry Teinowitz, sharing memories in remembrance. They then shift focus to GM Ryan Poles, discussing how he's been addressing past mistakes—particularly in the draft and free agency—and whether those corrections are translating into a stronger roster under Ben Johnson. Finally, they dive into the Bears’ running back room competition, evaluating which backs are making noise, whose roles are at stake, and how the backfield might shake out this season.
