## Resource

Hoge & Jahns are LIVE as Bears OTAs ramp back up and the competition across the roster starts heating up. The guys break down their biggest observations from practice, including Caleb Williams’ completion percentage, the ways Ben Johnson and the coaching staff are challenging their young quarterback, and a pair of jaw-dropping throws from QB1. Plus, updates from the left tackle battle, linebacker group, and the overall intensity around Halas Hall. The show also dives into rookie safety Dillon Thieneman and why he’s not starting just yet, along with the latest on fellow rookies Sam Roush and Zavion Thomas getting involved offensively. Later, Hoge & Jahns react to seeing familiar jersey numbers return at linebacker and center during “The Big Takeaway” presented by Xfinity. All that and more on another LIVE edition of Hoge & Jahns.
