On this episode of the nation’s most popular podcast between a Bears blogger and a Bears beat, Adam Jahns tell us:

• Why he believes Eddie Goldman starting now in the middle of the defense is better for the Bears long-term.
• Why he’s best impressed by not only Goldman but also Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton.
• Why he’s far more concerned about the recent play (including practice sessions) of Kyle Fuller.
• Why the Bears don’t have an answer at right tackle but he believes Charles Leno Jr. is going to continue seeing first-team action.
• Why Ryan Mundy’s injuries have paved the starting road for Adrian Amos.
• Why he’s not buying in entirely to Marquess Wilson yet but is slowly coming around.
• Why “Bad Jay” will surely make an appearance but he believes the system will showcase his abilities better than any previous one.
• Much, much more!

If you ask me, this is one of my best radio appearances to date. This is a passionate conversation about Ray McDonald, domestic violence in the NFL and how the league must address their growing problem of a league comprised of unlikable men.

Like Grantland, except without all that Disney money.

Reverend Dave does not like ranting anymore. So stepping in for him again this week is yours truly. Today’s discussion: how tomorrow can set the stage for “meaning” from the 2014 season and how – in context – the Patriots and Packers blowouts might not look so terrible come Super Bowl Sunday.

There will be no game preview this week. Instead I’ll have a column up first thing tomorrow morning that will serve a similar purpose.

My spot with Marty Tirrell and Trent Condon starts a bit after the six-minute mark.

Wednesday afternoon I appeared with my friend Marty & Trent on ESPN Radio (1490 the Jock) in Des Moines, Iowa. They like me. Here is the audio.
