What a week it is! Chicago Bears training camp opens this week!

Is there a better way to celebrate the official start of the Chicago Bears season than with another Bears Banter!

If you missed it last week, we released part 1 of our training camp preview with Zack Pearson from Bear Report. Part 1 focused fully on the offense. If you want to check that out, you can do so here.

Part two has been released today and it focuses completely on the defense and special teams!

This podcast focuses on the position groups from the starters to the last guys on the bench; we look at the defensive tackles, the edge room, linebackers, secondary, and even special teams (a mention of the Longsnapper training camp battle?! You bet!)!

This is always a must-listen podcast for any hardcore Chicago Bears fan.
