I may be mistaken, but Bears players and coaches seem to be doing a lot more interviews and podcast appearances this season so I figure a thread for all those that don't naturally fit into other existing threads due to the breadth of topics discussed might be good for those who enjoy finding out more about the guys and hearing their takes on things.
If people can include the duration along with any they post then it will allow others to choose which ones to spend their time listening to.
To get started, here are 3 from today:
4 minutes with Eberflus:
12 minutes with TJ Edwards:
21 minutes with Jaylon Johnson:

Flus 100% has gone through media training and how to “speak as a leader” or whatever. He’s more confident and smoother behind a mic than before.
I think also the Bears organization is riding the high of their popularity at the moment and are proud of the character of their roster, so they’re pushing the media aspect while the PR is good.

Uh oh. Hightower in his presser yesterday solidly tagging VJJ's unacceptable handling of the KR role:

Sounds like Carter's going to be the KR returner going forward.

A couple with Cole Kmet, the first 13 minutes of him fielding questions from fans and the second 13 minutes talking to Joniak and Thayer:
I don't follow college football, but I'm now rooting for Notre Dame to beat USC just to see Cole follow through on his threat to get Caleb dressed up as a leprechaun!

4 minutes with Kevin Byard:
"All Pros and Pro Bowls are very nice. Everybody wants those. But I think the two most respected, or the most highest honours, you can get in the league is the Walter Payton Man of the Year and being voted a team captain."

5 minutes of Brisker talking to Mark Carrier.
You've got love Mark Carrier.
You've got love Mark Carrier.
"I hate the Packers. I hate the Packers with a passion!"
"My father-in-law, I've been married to his daughter, my lovely wife, for 28 years, he's an old school Packer fan... but he let me marry his daughter so I figured that... I don't know if that was punishment or not. Don't tell her I said that!"

The latest episode of The 85. 58 minutes long with a 20 minute interview with Khari Blasingame starting 25 minutes in.
Kmet's always good to listen to. He got pretty beat up in the Colts game. He mentions how after 92 plays he and others on the offense are still feeling it and how his ribs were "burning" after a hit he took, which is why he didn't do his baseball swing celebration when he scored his TD.

4 minutes with DeAndre Carter:
I didn't know he'd spent a year teaching junior high and how often he's been cut during his career. You've got to admire a guy who keeps on battling and he's doing a decent job for the Bears... when he isn't being foolishly asked to block LBs and DEs that is.

Another really good episode of The Eighty Five With Cole Kmet, filmed in London so only 37 minutes.
"Cole Kmet is joined by Adam Hoge IN LONDON as the Chicago Bears have arrived for their Week 6 matchup vs the Jacksonville Jaguars! Cole tells us what went right in a dominant win vs the Panthers in Week 5 and what he's most looking forward to in London. Plus, hear two unique perspectives as Cole and Adam discuss the impasse between the NFLPA and media on whether media should be allowed in locker rooms."

He's allowed to make quick decisions?!?!?Grizzled wrote: Fri Sep 27, 2024 12:51 pm Short and sweet from Fields, who says that Mike Tomlin is lights years better of a coach than Nagy and Eberflus:
WTF - when did they change that rule?
