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.
