Start Kyle Orton

The draft is done, and the guys have a lot to say! On this episode we review the full first round (sans the Bears, who get their own episode later this week). What did we think of that Penix pick? How about the absolute steals in the second half of this first round? Who missed and who nailed it? And more importantly, is that damnable cat in a box alive or dead?

This week on the SKOd we're doing a final preview before the draft on Thursday! Kyle is running Travis through different draft scenarios for the Bears at 9. What should Poles do if none of the top 3 receivers are there? What trade down scenario is best? Would the Bears consider trading UP? Then they wrap it up with a final mock draft prediction. ALSO, join us on draft night as we try our best to l...

This is it! The final week in the courtroom for the SKOdcast. We wrap up our prospect analysis for the 2024 NFL Draft on the defensive line. Who is our DE1? Is DE1 the best defensive lineman in this draft? Would we take any of these guys at 9, or would we want the Bears to trade back a bit? And how important is need vs BPA for the Bears right now? Thanks for listening!

This week we bring a dumptruck full of man meat into the courtroom! That's right it's time to go over the OL prospects in the 2024 draft. Last year the guys were incredibly accurate in their draft predictions for not only where the linemen would go but how good they would be! Can they have a repeat performance this year? How good IS Joe Alt? The guys agree on that at least, but folks we have some...

This week on the SKOd! Kyle and Travis get away from QBs and move into the deepest position pool in the 2024 draft (and a potential position the Bears will look at with pick #9), wide receiver! How much do we like these top 3 guys? Would we want the Bears to trade up for any of them? How about the batch of guys after that, and does anyone who might be available at pick 75 look good? Thanks for lis...

This week on the SKOdcast Travis and Kyle finally wrap up discussions around the 2024 QB draft class! Before all that we say our final goodbyes to Justin Fields (check out our episodes 'Justin Fields' and 'The Case Against Justin Fields' for what you might call the long goodbye?) and Travis gives his condensed take on Jayden Daniels. Then its on to quarterback of mystery JJ McCarthy (not to be con...

This week the guys talk about the astounding number of free agency moves (and trades!) the Bears made already, the surprising move they have not yet made (Justin Fields is still here for now!), a bunch of things they've talked about, spooky ghosts, and maybe, just maybe, Fleetwood Mac. Enjoy!

This week on the SKOdcast we celebrate the start of season 2! To do so we talk about Jaylon Johnson and Ryan Bates, do we like these guys and do we like what we gave up for them? We talk about Caleb Williams and Justin Fields, can we verify the Bears have set their plans in stone? We also get into the combine and a bit of inside baseball on the first 10 picks in the upcoming draft. Welcome to seas...

Welcome back to the courtroom! This week Kyle is doing it solo (giving himself, g-giving himself the best shot) and talking Jayden Daniels! There has been a lot of hype around the Heisman trophy winner, but can his college magic translate to the NFL? Kyle shakes his magic 8 ball and says... signs point to no! Tune in for a detailed breakdown of exactly why!

Welcome back! This week we're hitting the next QB up after Justin and Caleb, Drake Maye! Do we still like him as much as we did mid season? What makes him a great NFL prospect and what drawbacks does he have? And what does The Spreadsheet have to say about all this?

Welcome back to court! This week on the SKOdcast we turn to the likely #1 pick and likely (?) next Bears quarterback, Caleb Williams! What do we like, what do we hate, and what is The Spreadsheet looking like this year? This is 68 minutes of everything you could possibly want to know about the top prospect in this year's draft!

As promised, the guys are back one day later to wrap the Bears up by talking through the defense! We have some unmitigated successes, some unmitigated disasters, and some interesting guys in between to talk about! Who do we love, who do we want to keep but think needs some improvement, and who is on the firing line? Let's find out!

This week on the SKOdcast we try to review the 2023 Bears and slowly realize to our great horror that this will be a two part episode! Performance reviews are difficult and often more timely than you might expect, especially when we have top defend Braxton Jones so vigorously, and hate on our centers so viciously. And what of everyone else? How did the rookies do this year, and what the heck happe...

This week the guys briefly discuss how pleased they are that the Bears hired Shane Waldron and what, if anything, it means for the situation at QB. After that, as promised, court is in session! The guys start this offseason's QB proceedings with Justin Fields and, as you may have guessed, this is why it's time to move on! Whether you like and want to keep Justin or hate him and want him gone, we a...

This week on the pod, MEGA POWERS EXPLODE as Kyle and Travis have a heated debate over the decision to keep Matt Eberflus! We also take the time to give a retrospective on Luke Getsy, rank the Bears offensive coordinators of our lifetimes (it's so sad, you guys) and talk about the OC candidates the Bears have spoken to. Happy listening!

This week we talk about the final game of the season against Green Bay. Where does Justin stand, and how about Flus? Will a decisive result against our eternal tormentors change anything? Let’s find out!

So you’re saying we have a chance! This week we talk about that amazing win over the Lions and how good this Bears team is right now. It’s all good vibes this week, thanks for listening!

This week Travis finally gets to talk about the Panthers because Kyle is otherwise occupied! The inmate runs the asylum and goes in depth on Carolina, our boy Mitch Trubisky almost guaranteeing us the #1 pick, the Bears upcoming game against Detroit, and anything else that pops into his mind.

Back from Thanksgiving Break, the guys are here to talk about the progress of the Bears on defense, Justin Fields and his progress(?) on offense, finally getting an NFC North win over the Vikings, and the looming specter of Jim Harbaugh.

This week Justin Fields is back and we have seven games to go, so as we move into this final stage of the season we have to ask some questions. What does Justin have to do to keep his job? How about Eberflus? And even if they perform well, SHOULD they be able to save themselves, given what is behind doors number 2 and 3?

This week we talk about the absolute state of the Bears, the Montez Sweat trade, the Jaylon Johnson saga, and it all makes us MAD AS HELL and we AREN’T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE. Enjoy!

This week we have resigned ourselves to finally discussing replacements for Justin Fields. Does he himself have a shot left? How about Secret Bagent Man? Is Caleb Williams REALLY the presumptive first overall pick? Let’s talk!

Well folks it’s been 7 days without a Bears game, so let’s check in on the rest of the NFL! We laugh at Green Bay, lambast some quarterbacks, praise others, and bask in the glow of a Bears win that lasts over a week. Thanks for listening!

This week we get to talk about two games! Both huge games for Getsy and Fields, but how long can this last? Is this a full turnaround or the product of playing a bad defense and playing hard for a coach on the hot seat? How optimistic are we now? Thanks for tuning in!

After a week off due to illness we are back, and boy what a time to be back! This week we bury this embarrassment of a team for all we’re worth, come join in for some catharsis!
