## Resource

🐻 The Chicago Bears Podcast | What Is the Bears' Identity? Hosted by Pat The Designer & ESPN Chicago's John "Jurko" Jurkovic Brought to you by The Advantage Dealer Group & City Colleges of Chicago Are the Chicago Bears getting the respect they deserve? Pat and Jurko react to the latest NFL roster rankings, debating whether Chicago is being fairly evaluated or if national analysts are still underrating one of the NFC's rising contenders. The conversation then shifts to the biggest question entering the season: What will the Bears' identity be? The guys break down how Ben Johnson's offense could define itself and what style of football Bears fans should expect. Finally, Jurko dives into the defensive side of the ball, discussing Dennis Allen's vision, the strengths of the roster, and what the Bears' defensive identity must become if they're going to compete for another NFC North title. 👇 Episode Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Bears roster ranking: fair or foul? 00:05:00 – What will be the Bears' offensive identity? 00:13:00 – Defining the Bears' defensive identity 🎧 Subscribe for daily Chicago Bears analysis, training camp coverage & insider discussion from ESPN Chicago! 📱 Follow for more: #ChicagoBears #BearsPodcast #ESPNChicago #BenJohnson #DennisAllen #NFCNorth #BearDown #NFL
