Colin Cowherd Shares His 2 Cents"},"content":{"rendered":"

Sports media personality and the host of ‘The Volume’, Colin Cowherd has put out an absurd take saying newly appointed head coach of the Chicago Bears, Ben Johnson is controlling the happenings in Chicago<\/a> over general manager Ryan Poles. <\/p>

According to Cowherd, the recent signings of Center Drew Dalman, and Guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson<\/a> show that he is now calling the shots and indirectly telling Poles that his picks were not good. The host of ‘The Volume’ initiated the conversation while having a discussion with sportswriter and podcaster Danny Parkins saying: <\/p>

“It’s obvious Ben Johnson now runs the organization because he basically by acquiring a guard, a center, a guard is telling Ryan Poles your picks were not good.”<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Cowherd then went on to give examples of how similar things are happening around the league with Mike Vraebel running New England, Sean McVay has got a lot of power in Los Angeles<\/a>, Sean Payton’s running Denver, and so on. Parkins then added his two cents to the conversation when probed on his thoughts. <\/p>

“So I’ve heard you say this and I think that you’re like 85 to 90% correct, um, Ben Johnson clearly now outranks Ryan Poles and obviously Ryan Poles stock is down and Ben Johnson’s stock could not have been higher. So Ben Johnson has more say and the Jonah Jackson move is directly tied to Ben Johnson and that was the first move that happened. I think Ryan Poles has taken a little too much heat in this regard…”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Although Parkins agreed to an extent with what Cowherd was saying, he also proceeded to explain how not everything was the fault of the Bears general manager given that his first season in charge, he didn’t even have a first round draft pick since the previous management had traded it away to draft Justin Fields. <\/p>

He also pointed out that Poles has made quality picks in Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon who are both starters in the secondary while right tackle Darnell Wright looks like he could hold down the position for years to come. <\/p>
