The Chicago Bears started their first mandatory minicamp under coach Ben Johnson on Tuesday, and our insider, Scott Bair, was at Halas Hall to bring you the latest news from practice and the podium.

On this episode, you'll hear Johnson talk about his relationship with D'Andre Swift, Cole Kmet share his reaction to the Bears drafting a tight end at No. 10, and DJ Moore explaining the much-needed intensity brought to the locker room by Johnson and the growth he's seen from Caleb Williams. Later in the show, Herb Howard from The Bigs joins us and takes us inside the locker room.

Chicago Bears play-by-play announcer Jeff Joniak joins the show to share his takeaways from rookie minicamp. Along with Scott Bair, Carmen Vitali and Mike Norman, Joniak discusses why the energy feels (and sounds) different at camp, dives into coach Ben Johnson's intensity and explains why the "Chicago is where quarterbacks go to die" comment won't affect Caleb Williams or the team. They also discuss the window the front office is creating with Joe Thuney's contract extension, and react to the Tush Push almost being banned by league owners last week.

With NFL schedules releasing last week, we were joined by one of its makers, Mike North, NFL VP of broadcast planning, to discuss what goes into selecting NFL matchups. Later in the show, Scott Bair, Carmen Vitali and Mike Norman react to a report about how influences around Caleb Williams pushed him to try and avoid being drafted by the Chicago Bears. They also share their thoughts on the Bears pivoting away from a downtown stadium and shifting focus to Arlington Heights.
