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.

On this LIVE episode of Hoge & Jahns, we take a temperature check on the Bears after a wave of roster changes. With veterans like Kevin Byard, Nahshon Wright, DJ Moore, Tremaine Edmunds and Drew Dalman heading out the door, the roster looks very different — and only one-quarter of the Bears’ 2025 Pro Bowlers remain. Are the Bears truly improving, or do they still need a major move like Maxx Crosby to elevate the defense? Hoge & Jahns break down the Bears key additions and they’ll revisit lingering concerns from last season — including left tackle, pass rush, and whether the Bears’ “draft and develop” philosophy is working. Later in the show we’re joined by Jesse Merrick of the Silver & Black Sports Network to discuss the Raiders’ aggressive spending, the Maxx Crosby conversation, and what it could mean for Chicago.
