Yahoo Sports NFL world reacts to Episode 3 of Bears "Hard Knocks"
The third episode of "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears" premiered Tuesday night, and fans were more than pleased that it was right on time after last week's delay.
In Episode 3, we saw more of Caleb Williams and Matt Eberflus talking ball, a look at general manager Ryan Poles as he attempted to trade for pass rusher Matthew Judon, the joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals, a look inside the huddle in last Saturday's preseason win and it featured some new stars -- rookie punter Tory Taylor, quarterback Tyson Bagent and his charismatic dad, Travis.
When taking a look around X (formerly Twitter), it's clear that the third episode has been the best received so far. Here's what the NFL world is saying after the third episode of "Hard Knocks."
That was far and away the best episode of Hard Knocks thus far

Easily the best Hard Knocks episode. Was locked in during the entire time. Few takeaways:
-Love how calculated Poles is. He knows where he limits are and sticks to that. Judon simply didn’t want to come here and it is what it is… nothing Poles could’ve done to convince him…— Tanner (@Tanner23062) August 21, 2024
Yeah, episode 3 of Hard Knocks was fucking phenomenal.
They hit us with everything that episode. Keep it coming, HBO.— Dave (@dave_bfr) August 21, 2024

Such a good #HardKnocks episode!
Loved the Judon segment & Caleb relaying the plays to the offense even though he wasn’t hearing the full play calls in his helmet.
Hearing Caleb say he doesn’t get nervous gave me chills 😳#DaBears— Jake Bohde (@jakebohde13) August 21, 2024
Not my kids watching Hard Knocks and sending me screenshots with Google lens finds

“I wanted to say I love you, but that would be weird because we just met.” - this is one of my favorite Hard Knocks moments ever pic.twitter.com/62HqftujOG

Kevin Warren has had his fingerprints on every frame of #HBO's #HardKnocks ... Not surprised he got his own stadium segment, although it was shorter than I anticipated.

Best episode of Hard Knocks yet. America was simply not ready for Tyson Bagent's father

I admit, I was nervous that he’d crumble (bc 39 years of disappointment),
but oohhh boy I was wrong.
You can’t make me stop watching this.🔥#HardKnocks #DaBears pic.twitter.com/okae60U7ii— Stefanie (@mom2sapphires) August 21, 2024

It’s so refreshing having a GM that knows what he’s doing and knows what’s best for the bigger picture. #DaBears #HardKnocks https://t.co/4nn3iWsrSz

Hard Knocks has always been a 1 of 1 show. The production and timeliness has always been superb. But it hits different when it’s your favorite team.

TORY TAYLOR HARD KNOCKS SPOTLIGHT THIS IS THE BEST NIGHT EVER

After watching Hard Knocks I say full heartedly say the BEARS WILL BE CHAMPIONS in next 3 years

No one has any idea how difficult holding is
Love the focus on special teams from Hard Knocks— JFK (@JFK_Ryder) August 21, 2024
My biggest takeaway from Hard Knocks has been how many miles ahead Ryan Poles is of Joe Schoen
Dude is running laps around him on the off-season show https://t.co/Q59ONcwnc9— Ryan Coyle (@ryancoyle35) August 21, 2024
That was, by far, the best episode of #HardKnocks yet.
It’s actually unbelievable how much chemistry the team seems to have with each other.
That was rare when I was playing sports for free growing up, let alone how I’m sure it is on a professional team filled with millionaires…— Philip Charles VanDerHeyden IV (@PhilVanderIV) August 21, 2024
Hard Knocks Episode 3:
-Eberflus and Caleb talking ball
-Austin Reed singing 😂
-Tory Taylor getting the spotlight. (Getting lost in Chicago)
-Tyson Bagent and his dad is hilarious.
I love this football team. Such an awesome vibe 🐻⬇️— Cole Gross (@CGross23) August 21, 2024
