On this episode of DaBearsPod:

• No monologue! (Aren’t you lucky?)
• Cam Worrell discusses tons of stuff, including why Vic Fangio insists upon dropping Khalil Mack into coverage, what it’s like to play on an elite-level defense, the importance of “Packer Week” and Mike Vick quitting at Soldier Field in 2005.
• Some drunk girl told Reverend Dave to fuck off. She’s now my hero.

On this week’s special edition of DaBearsPod:

• Jeff finishes off the Josh McDaniels/Bears discussion, monologue-style.
• Former Urlacher teammate Cam Worrell tells us all what made Lach special on and off the field. (There’s a great story here about a banquet Cam attended years after playing with Brian.)
• A should-be-more-famous clip of Urlacher defending Cutler after the 2010 NFC title game.
• Reverend Dave sings 54’s praises from eastern Africa.
• Music from Monty Python & Henry Mancini!

On this week’s pod:

• Jeff, battling illness, tries to explain what John Fox is thinking with his offensive approach. (Hint: If he doesn’t win, he doesn’t come back. So he’s trying to do that.)
• Cam Worrell on the Bears approach to Trubisky, whether players pay attention to the coach’s contract, why Eric Mangini was a “fraud” and how he’s coach a player on dealing with concussions.
• Reverend Dave eats dog with “Heroin LeBron” (and somehow gets the story back to the Bears).
• Music from the late Fats Domino!

On the Weekend Show:

• Jeff scares himself by looking deeply at the first 8 games of the schedule and wonders if the Bears will be favored in any of them.
• Cam Worrell talks about the mentality of turnovers and talks passionately about Brian Urlacher, Hall of Fame candidate. (“Lach” is a gracious paintball player but an animal on the field.)
• Reverend Dave sets the new record for Most Mailed-in Sermon.
• MUSIC FROM THE GREAT CYRILLE AIMEE!
