The latest Bears Banter Podcast is breaking down OTAs and Minicamp!
The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped!
The Chicago Bears have wrapped up their 2025 offseason program, the first one under new head coach Ben Johnson.
To discuss everything we want to know that took place at OTAs and minicamp, we talk to Herb Howard from The Bigs to get the lowdown from Halas Hall.
Herb covers the Bears for The Bigs and was at Halas Hall throughout May and June during the Bears’ offseason program.
We talk to Herb about Ben Johnson, the offense, Caleb Williams, the left tackle position, the running back room, and Dennis Allen’s defense! There’s plenty to discuss, and we discuss it all with Herb Howard.
What stood out to Herb was how Ben Johnson conducts his practice and how much he focuses on attention to detail.
“It seems like every single thing that was missed will be addressed,” Howard stated. “Getting in and out of the huddle the right way will be addressed. He will send them right back into the huddle to do it again if he feels like it looks and sounds the right way for them to break the huddle; otherwise, he says they aren’t ready for business. If they line up the wrong way, he will send them back to the huddle. If they are a little bit off their landmarks, they will do it again. I think those are the types of things that are important to see right now.”
It certainly looks quite different from the previous regime.
