We're continuing our annual "State of the Franchise" series by switching our focus to the Chicago Bears' Defense. In this episode, we go in-depth on three units: Defensive Line, Outside Linebacker and Inside Linebacker. Listen as we discuss Akiem Hicks' future, how Eddie Goldman's return will impact the team, Bilal Nichols' trending up, whether or not there should be any hope for Robert Quinn, how the Bears should approach refilling its depth at all three units, Roquan Smith's improved play (and durability concerns), and much more including setting the stage for the biggest needs (and talking points) that will dominant the Bears' offseason.
