89 with Steve Smith Sr.

Is Rome Odunze’s "new normal" foot injury a major concern for Chicago? Steve Smith Sr. sets the record straight. 🐻

 

Steve Smith Sr. and James Palmer dive into the Chicago Bears' dynamic wide receiver room heading into Year 2 under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Steve explains why Ben Johnson is on the precipice of reaching Sean McVay-level play-designing status and how Caleb Williams drastically reduced his "hero ball" turnover rate under pressure.

 

The guys address Bears fans' anxiety surrounding Rome Odunze's comments about his lingering foot structure issues. Agent 89 shares his own gruesome story about playing with screws backing out of his ankle to explain how athletes adapt to their "new normal". Plus, deep dives into Luther Burden III's explosive YAC potential, Colston Loveland's tight end usage, and why this speed-loaded room could push Chicago to win the NFC North.

Is Christian Watson ready to be Jordan Love’s high-volume #1? Steve Smith Sr. breaks down why Christian Watson is Green Bay’s true Alpha. 🧀

 

Matt LaFleur ditched the receiver committee, and Christian Watson just got $100M+ to be Green Bay’s true Alpha. Agent 89 breaks down the tape on Jordan Love's upgraded weapon room.

 

In this episode, Steve Smith Sr. and James Palmer explore the massive philosophical shift in Green Bay. The Packers have moved away from spreading the ball to "a million mouths to feed" and are now building a traditional hierarchy around Jordan Love. Steve explains what Christian Watson must do to transition into a high-volume target, how Matthew Golden’s off-season boxing training will help him beat press coverage at the top of the route, and how Jayden Reed and Tucker Craft complete one of the most dangerous passing attacks in the NFC.

Is Kyler Murray’s "Checkdown Charlie" style about to hold Justin Jefferson back?

 

Can Kevin O'Connell get Kyler Murray to target the intermediate middle of the field, or will Minnesota's passing game stall out? Steve Smith Sr. and James Palmer dive deep into the tape and front-office chatter surrounding the Minnesota Vikings' loaded wide receiver room.

 

Steve breaks down why Kyler Murray’s 9-yard-and-under tendencies ("Checkdown Charlie") clash directly with KOC’s 10-to-19-yard intermediate passing system, what Justin Jefferson must do to stay dominant without "reinventing the wheel," and why Jordan Addison is sitting at a critical crossroads in his NFL career. Plus, a look at how Jauan Jennings brings much-needed grit to mentor young guys like Tai Felton and Dillon Bell.

THE GREEN BAY FORMULA COMES TO THE STEEL CITY. 🖤💛

 

NFL legend Steve Smith Sr. and NFL Insider James Palmer wrap up their high-stakes tour of the AFC North by diving headfirst into a completely transformed Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver room.

 

The guys examine the major organizational shift as Mike McCarthy takes over for his first season at the helm of Aaron Rodgers' last dance. Steve details why the front office's offseason moves—trading for reliable route-runner Michael Pittman Jr. and trading up on Day 2 for rookie Germie Bernard—mimic the exact physical, high-IQ archetype that made McCarthy and Rodgers' offenses so deadly with the Packers.

 

Then, they pivot to the intensive camp battle looming for the WR3 spot. Steve gives a reality check on second-year wideout Roman Wilson, laying out exactly what he needs to show in training camp to avoid being pushed down the depth chart by a highly polished rookie like Bernard.
