    EMERGENCY POD: Alan Williams resigns, Justin Fields opens up about his 'robotic' play

    EMERGENCY POD: Alan Williams resigns, Justin Fields opens up about his 'robotic' play

    Holy. Cow. It was a DAY at Halas Hall. That has David Haugh and Dan Wiederer in EMERGENCY POD formation! The Bears defensive coordinator, Alan Williams has resigned under...well...odd circumstances we're all still trying to figure out. Then there's Justin Fields, who admitted he's been playing too 'robotic,' and explained why coaching is a possible reason he's been playing in such a way. Fields explained his comments further, saying he was taken out of context. We've got a LOT of questions, and not many answers, folks! Oh, and by the way, the left tackle is hurt and will miss at least four weeks.

    The Daily Score: Where does Bears QB Justin Fields go from here? Stay in pocket or resort to running game?

    The Daily Score: Where does Bears QB Justin Fields go from here? Stay in pocket or resort to running game?

    From 'The Daily Score' (subscribe here): On the Wednesday edition of The Daily Score, Mark Grote pondered whether it's time for Bears quarterback Justin Fields to play to his strength by relying on the running game -- as he did last season -- or continue attempting to develop as a pocket passer (00:20). Fields has struggled through the first two games of the season with limited rushing attempts after gaining national notoriety for his running ability in 2022. Grote then reacted to former Bears QB Chase Daniel weighing in on Fields' struggles in the first of his weekly appearances with The Score's Parkins and Spiegel (06:15).

Knowledgeable Bears coverage

Like the main hosts legitimate and no fluff analysis of the games and team.
The fill-in episodes are just ok.

Great pod

Love this pod but on the latest episode with Herb his mic was annoying as heck. Cracking and cutting in and out almost the entire episode.
Still, 5-star pod
