Carmen and Jurko celebrate a Dr Pepper Bears Football Friday by revisiting Chicago's blockbuster acquisition of Jeffery Simmons and debating what the team must accomplish to justify surrendering two first-round picks. The guys hear Ian Rapoport explain how Ryan Poles convinced Tennessee to part with its defensive cornerstone and discuss why the move signals that the Bears believe they're legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Callers debate whether Maxx Crosby would have been the better investment, while Jurko explains why Chicago's troubling yards-allowed-per-play numbers made a defensive upgrade necessary. The crew also reacts to the Packers' win over Carolina and Christian Watson's remarkable return from a rib injury, with Pauly Cheesecake offering his Week 8 picks. Plus, Carmen examines how the Rams attacked Seattle's defense with three-tight-end formations and whether Ben Johnson can find similar success against the Seahawks without Cole Kmet.
