Welcome in to another edition of the Bears Talk podcast here at CSNChicago.com. The preseason is here. Bears Broncos on the lakefront tomorrow night. I am Vinnie Duber.

0:22.5

Taking reps with the ones today, J.J. Stankvitz and Scott Crensch. Guys, it's preseason time.

0:28.2

Are you excited for exhibition action? I'm excited to see Mitch Trubisky play. Yeah? Is that an answer?

0:33.6

Sure. I'm ready to see another Bears preseason legend for him this year. Tanner Gentry.

0:38.2

Let's see what he can do on Thursday. Scottie Crinch already making his picks for the preseason

0:43.3

All-Stars. Well, JJ, you mentioned it. The quarterback position is obviously going to be the one that
