About this episode

🐻 The Chicago Bears Podcast | Jurko Dissects Bears Defense + Ben Johnson vs Brian Flores Hosted by Pat The Designer & ESPN Chicago's John "Jurko" Jurkovic Brought to you by Midwest Dairy, The Advantage Dealer Group & City Colleges of Chicago Former NFL defensive tackle Jurko puts on his film-analysis hat after the Chicago Bears' wild 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers. Pat The Designer and Jurko dissect what went wrong with the Bears defense, particularly in the trenches, and what needs to change before Chicago faces tougher competition. Jurko also questions the Bears' recent track record of identifying and developing defensive linemen under GM Ryan Poles. If the defensive front remains a weakness, how can Dennis Allen manufacture enough pressure and improvement for this defense to succeed? On offense, Jurko explains how Ben Johnson's scheme helped cover up the Bears' concerns at left tackle in Week 1 and why good play-calling can minimize a roster weakness. Finally, it's time to look ahead to a fascinating chess match: Ben Johnson vs. Brian Flores. Jurko previews how Johnson's explosive Bears offense could attack Flores and the Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 2. 👇 Episode Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Jurko dissects the Bears defense vs. Panthers 00:10:00 – Ryan Poles' D-line problem: How can the Bears defense overcome it? 00:16:30 – How Ben Johnson's scheme covered up the Bears' LT weakness 00:20:00 – Ben Johnson vs. Brian Flores: Week 2 schematic showdown 🎧 Subscribe for daily Chicago Bears analysis, film breakdowns, game previews & insider coverage from ESPN Chicago! #ChicagoBears #BearsPodcast #ESPNChicago #BenJohnson #BrianFlores #RyanPoles #BearsDefense #Jurko #BearsVsVikings #BearDown
