There are times when what he says makes sense and isn’t all that bad. The cross overs are the best episodes. Unfortunately that isn’t most of the time. It’s filled with simple “fan” like thoughts. Hardly any actual deep thinking into what is happening and why. Lots of addressing fake or bad rumors and running with the possibility of them being real. If you want to listen to the average fan, listen. If you want more actual in depth, go elsewhere. I still listen, but often end early due to smooth brained arguments that drive me crazy.

I’m not a Bears fan at all but I often listen for the information provided now it’s just point the finger when they lose What happened to this show??

Great Podcast bunch of cry baby fields fans in the reviews . Caleb Williams will be so much better than Justin fields you’ll forget he even existed by week 4. Caleb is a generational talent period fields is a great athlete but not even an average QB he’s ranked and rated below 32nd in multiple passing categories . But you Bears fans are so desperate for any QB you believe what you saw was worth keeping to “BUILD The Line” ??? Laughable 😂

Lorin does a really nice job showing all the different views of a particular topic. Topics always have gray areas and he does a nice job exposing that.

Lorin Cox often spends the first ten to fifteen mins talking in circles. Saying the same thing multiple times before digging into stats of the game. Also his talking comes across rushed or hyper. He isn’t horrible when he stays on track. But for a thirty min podcast too much is wasted talking to himself.

Lorin is one of the more underrated Bears media guys, the daily format lets him take deep dives on a regular basis

I’ve listened to Lorin’s bad takes for years. Sometimes amusing, many times annoying. The latest bad”know it all” take: Bears have no choice but get a QB in the first round next year. Sensational click bait. Yeah, lets ruin another QB and ignore the trenches, again. Even if JF1 isn’t the long term answer, why get another QB until the lines are at least good? Fields still has another year on his contract and the 5th year option before he would get really paid. Another QB would just be set up for failure, just like Fields, Trubisky, Foles, Dalton, Cutler and all the rest.

Lorin is great and knowledgeable about the X’s and O’s of the game and entertaining

When speaking you sound rushed. Would be an easier listen if you didn’t speak to fast.

Justin fields breaking *any* team record for passing completions, yards, touchdowns is just totally out of touch and delusional. Let’s see the guy improve his average passer rating of 79 first, ok?

This trade Fields is NONSENSE! Trade him and draft a QB who is NOT the athlete he is. . May not even be a backup. Let’s talk more free agent, Draft board! Might as well say let’s trade Fields for Mahomes , it is not worth the waste of our time. So gents don’t ruin a Great Podcast with this anymore.

Lorin… we get it the media loves Fields.

I actually like the new alternative helmets. I call them the bearsicle helmets

I want to support this pod but no longer can because the content is subpar.

Lorin makes bears news sound so optimistic every day.

This entire pod is worry and rumor no postive news or excitement into the next year, just second guessing of system you havent seen yet,

I'm not sure how he finds 30 minutes of Bear's news five days a week all year round but he does.

Geez the sheer amount of ads makes this a chore to listen to. I don’t want to have to skip and ad every three minutes. Lorin also sounds like he is in a micro machines commercial. I keep having to check to be sure the playback isn’t on 1.5 speed. He sounds so monotone and rushed. And don’t even get me started on how he creepily says “bear down” at the end. Needless to say I rush to skip that.

I have been an avid listener but I’ve had to turn off the last 3 episodes and I’m finished listening to it. You bring such a negative image and I want to be excited about the season. Stay positive and your podcast could be awesome. It’s sad that someone like you that gets this platform to make it so uninviting as a bears fan. 🐻⬇️

Love the daily podcast keep it up

He’s so monotone and annoying. The way he says LOCKED ON BEARS makes me cringe I rush to skip it before he can say it

I listen to the show daily. It’s for bears info but don’t think lorin knows football like he thinks he does.

This pod feels like a high school sophomore trying to pad a 2 page essay into 10 pages. There are too many instances in any given episode where the host rephrases the same point over and over again...either to pad the run time for ad revenue, or because he’s unprepared with his own talking points. For example, the host ate up about 2-3 minutes of airtime today asking people to send in voicemails of how they felt about the Fields pick, so he could identify why this pick felt different than other QBs drafted by the Bears. That should be a 15 second request max. There is no reason to obsess over it and restate it multiple times, especially when it takes up a fifth of your show’s run time.

Lorin has the knowledge of an average fan when it comes to football, roster construction, and how the NFL and Bears operate. Nothing to listen to if you want to expand your knowledge. The ads are a little ridiculous too but that’s how they make money so hard to blame them.

For all the idiots saying there are too many ads it’s why God gave us a skip button and thumbs. Very good Bears podcast Lorin does great work.

I listen most days on my run, great info. But his voice is so boring. Wish he could be a little more lose. He sounds like an old am radio guy. He had locked on Jax a while back, and loved how that guy sounded and talked. Bear down

This podcast is too short for the amount of advertisements. The topics are not very in-depth and simply rehash information found by searching “#Bears” on Twitter. They should do 2 - 3 longer episodes that are more in depth and interesting.

I use this podcast to go to sleep. As monotone as could be. Filled with ads about errection problems and build bars. He did a racist homage of Steven A Smith a while ago. Only time the host gets passionate is when the Bears are doing well and he feels the need to lecture the fan base about how bad the team is. Also made the argument that Roquan Smith was not as good as some of the other top linebackers while having nearly quadruple the stat lines. Fraud.

Daily uploads but more than half the content is advertisements. Analytics are OK

It’s simple, it’s clear, and it’s smart. Every Bears fan should listen.

You can’t find this level of Bears analysis anywhere else. Learn something new every episode

Lorin brings the heat to the podcast! When I need daily exclusive Bears content, Lorin is my go to!

No one works harder to go in depth covering the Bears than Lorin. Provides honest, cogent analysis in a sea of homerism.

Show is legitimately half ads. Alright otherwise. Just nothing flashy, not a lot of solid guest. But a good daily pod if your a Bear addict.

I like that these are produced so frequently (usually at least every weekday sometimes more). Very well researched and thought out. He is passionate but also objective. Each episode is usually 25-30 minutes which I really like. So many analysts are too wordy. A minor criticism is that the amount of promotion time seems like quite a lot for a short podcast. I appreciate that he has bills to pay and I really don’t mind promotions it just seems like a large amount of time is allocated for them. Still, definitely a 5 star podcast.

This is a great podcast that keeps you up to date with everything Bears.

Been listening since it started. Great insight to lines and some pics to cash in on. If your a gambler I recommend this must listen podcast!

1. Bears knowledge and passion unmatched 2. Incredible podcast advertisement transitions

Does this guy know anything about football ? Laughable opinions ! Hire me DELETE DELETE

I’ve been a subscriber to the Locked On Bears podcast for over a year & I must say this is some of the best detailed Chicago Bears/NFL content out! 🐻⬇️

Love the show Lorin thank you

I love the bears, and I love the idea of daily content surrounding them. This podcast however is immensely boring and is lacking any emotion whatsoever. Lorin Cox sounds like he’s reading a script the entire time.

Decent pod but the massive ad volume for the pod is brutal. Not worth it imo.

You’re killing me with the poop quote from Mack. The phrase equates to don’t peak too soon.

The analysis is pretty decent but I feel that Lorin sometimes wastes most of his time ranting on anything that seems to bother him. Also I find him that he mostly talks about the negatives more than the positives.

You guys should give Mitch his own podcast on the network. You can call it, "Locked On Allen Robinson".

Not the best, not the worst. Hassle to fast forward through all the commercials. There’s a half dozen better Bear Podcasts out there. Shouldn’t have to focus on a voice that’s uncomfortable rather than the point he’s trying to make. Yet, it is informative and worth the time especially game recap’s.

Used to listen regularly. Some decent info, plenty of fluff. Lorin’s takes are tiresome and the episodes lack sufficient content. Far better Bears podcasts out there.

Has good, insightful breakdowns of players and games. Way way too many ads in a short podcast.

The fact that he can’t punctuate the episode description correctly is all you need to know about this podcast. You do know you space after you punctuate a sentence, right?
