Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_01]: What up, what up everybody and welcome back to the Windy City podcast.
- 0:03[SPEAKER_01]: My name is Alex Shapiro and joining us today, Bill Huber, who covers the Green Bay Packers for Sports Illustrated.
- 0:10[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for joining us.
- 0:12[SPEAKER_01]: Bill, how you doing?
- 0:12[SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing great.
- 0:13[SPEAKER_01]: How about you?
- 0:15[SPEAKER_01]: Wonderful.
- 0:15[SPEAKER_01]: Looking forward to second Bears Packers match up in three weeks.
- 0:20[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like a little treat to have these games.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_01]: put so close together, but of course bear fans already know about the Packers.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to ask you some in the weeds questions about the team to get ready for this second matchup that feels pretty weighty.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_01]: First, we talk so much about how the bears are viewed in the city now, how vibes are changing around Chicago, could Caleb finally be the guy could this be the team that finally isn't one and done, are they are they setting up for sustained success?
- 0:51[SPEAKER_01]: I'm
- 0:53[SPEAKER_01]: How are the bears viewed by folks in Green Bay?
- 0:57[SPEAKER_00]: You guys are viewed as legitimate now.
- 0:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's been a long time since this rivalry is really meant to anything.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like, you know, back in As a kid, the bears beat the crap out of the packers of a game.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_00]: And it was like a rivalry here, but the play wasn't down there, I'm guessing bears fans laughed at the packers back then.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: And it's probably, it's been much the same since Farve took over.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: Think it's like 52 and 16.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's not a rivalry.
- 1:22[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's bullying.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_00]: So this is great.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_00]: Like the bear is going to be good for a long time.
- 1:26[SPEAKER_00]: Ben Johnson obviously knows what he's doing.
- 1:27[SPEAKER_00]: It appears Caleb Williams is going to be no worse than a confident quarterback probably better than that.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_00]: So I think people are excited about this that for once Packers bears is going to be, it's going to mean something.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_00]: Like year after year, game after game is really going to mean something.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_00]: Like you have to go back to,
- 1:46[SPEAKER_00]: when Rogers came off the broken collarbone and threw the touchdown past the Randall Cobb.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's like the last legit big game in the series before two weeks ago, and obviously someone's gonna be even bigger.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: So I think Packer's fans look at the bears and believe that they are a formidable opponent finally.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_01]: He touched a little bit on Caleb Williams, they're saying that he'll certainly be competent and maybe be even better.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_01]: How do you see Caleb Williams as maybe different or maybe the same as Justin Fields, Mitch Trubisky, Jay Cutler, et cetera, et cetera?
- 2:22[SPEAKER_00]: He ain't, you know, I can't say that I've watched enough bearers to give you like a great answer on that, like Justin Fields can't throw the ball, I mean, he's a great athlete, he's not a good quarterback.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_00]: Shibiski had the tools like there's this innate thing about playing quarterback like you can either play or you're can't I mean there's no we all know Five six guys can be drafted in the first one every year and half and we're gonna be washed out just because Something you know the pocket presence isn't there there that it's the wrong situation it seems like Caleb's got I don't know I the it part of it the
- 3:03[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the intangibles, the, the something that goes beyond just the basic he can throw the ball and he can run and he like like the sub that's go to see.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: I he seems like he's got.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_00]: He's got that extra quality that the good quarterbacks have to have a step field, the ability to turn nothing into something.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he was obviously really clutch until that last pass last game and.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was the big thing with Jordan Love this year, to me.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: He's been up until the Denver game last week.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: He's been really close.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_00]: Every time he's had to come through, he's done it.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like Caleb's kind of got that trait too.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_00]: And to me, if you don't have the ability to make the play, your team's just wasting their time, I think with you.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't, I don't believe that's the case with Caleb.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_01]: Now let's talk about Jordan Loddville a little bit because I agree so watching Jordan Loddv against the bears I thought oh man this guy is much improved this year than he has been in the past specifically when it came to that place right I mean Dennis Allen heated him up and he just bested pretty much whatever Dennis Allen threw at him now you obviously watch a lot more Jordan Loddv than me what are the biggest improvements you've noticed
- 4:15[SPEAKER_00]: completion percentage.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_00]: And this is obviously just the numbers.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_00]: But he was a below average quarterback completion percentage.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_00]: Why is his first couple years as a starter?
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he was down probably close to the bottom third, like the upper part of that.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_00]: He's cop 10 ish now.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_00]: So at that's huge, you know, Captain obvious stuff.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: You can't win games if you're not completing passes.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: He's not
- 4:42[SPEAKER_00]: Each of his first two years, I think he's got five this year, after the throwing two against Denver, and one against you guys, maybe six.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_00]: So the ability to complete passes and not turn a bowl over, obviously, first and foremost.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: You mentioned a blitz.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he is carved up, what's his all year.
- 4:59[SPEAKER_00]: The thing is he's been terrible against pressure.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like he needs to get the protection set and he needs the guys to pick it up.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_00]: And when he has time, he's just destroyed it.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_00]: Under pressure though, he's, I know before last game, he was second to last in the league and completion percentage.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: So being the butses has been big and again, it's just the coming through and it matters stuff.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_00]: Like his first year as a starter, they're in most of the games and they lost all of them because when push came to shove, love didn't make any plays.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: down the stretch this year, he's, I believe he's tied for second league in fourth quarter coming back in game when he drives.
- 5:38[SPEAKER_00]: So, both of the big things, you got to complete passes, but you also have to make the plays when it matters and he's really done that this year.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_01]: Now obviously, the biggest news around the team, Mike Parsons and the ACL, we all know what Mike Parsons absence on the field means, but how has that absence been felt around the team?
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's, you know, these guys don't think like us.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, they were, it was crushing in the moment, but there's one thing in their professional athletes is they never, ever, ever, ever think like you.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_00]: They don't think like me.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: If I was a member of the pack, as they'd say, bleed for screwed, our season's done, as far as winning a championship, they don't think like that.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_00]: I think that everybody's written them off.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: I believe they will use that as fuel.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: and motivation to show the hate that were pretty good.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_00]: You know, these guys last year without micoparsons were six in the NFL and scoring.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_00]: This year with micoparsons, they're eighth.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying they're worse, they're actually about the same.
- 6:37[SPEAKER_00]: The point is, is they were a really good defense last year.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're eager to prove again that it's just not micoparsons in the 10 dwarfs out there.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_00]: This is a legit defense with a legit coordinator and they will be fine.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not trying to minimize the loss of micoparsons.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I think from a locked room perspective, um, the beco's on, these guys and the most competitive people on earth, and they're not going to let it injury change anything.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: They think they were super Bowl team before they traded for Parsons.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: They think they're super Bowl team today.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_01]: I create and just go and I guess around the injury report, Josh Jacobs is being done, Martian Lloyd being done, Chris book, Brooks being done.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_01]: I guess just what's the latest with the injuries in that running back room?
- 7:26[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess if these guys can't go, what is the plan for Matt LaFlor here?
- 7:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Jacob's is fine.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_00]: He said,
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: God of a day is the same.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: Especially in these weird weeks Tuesday.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: He said on Tuesday, he'll play Martian Lloyd.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: He's never, he's played one game in his life and that's no big deal that he's out.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_00]: Emmanuel Wilson, he's there, number one, backup, and he's off the injury port.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_00]: And Chris Brooks, he's kind of their past perception guy.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_00]: So he'll probably be fine in a little bit.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_00]: So I think the backfields can be fine.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously Josh Jacobs is the big deal there and he's been battling through since suffering and knee injury against the giants back in week 11.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_00]: He is just,
- 8:04[SPEAKER_00]: He's just tougher than nails, he'll be out there.
- 8:06[SPEAKER_00]: He played through last week and was phenomenal, against Denver, I'm sure he'll be fine for this game too.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so no worries about the multiple DNPs.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: This guy is in maintenance mode, he'll be ready to go.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_01]: The he doesn't need a ton of time on the grass, right?
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's sunk your pro home, but here for two years.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he knows everything.
- 8:28[SPEAKER_00]: Past perfection wise, you know, like any veteran, they can basically just get rolled out there on Sunday.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and I'm going to ask you a two-parter here.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_01]: What are the bears keys to victory on Saturday night?
- 8:40[SPEAKER_01]: And then what are the Packers keys to victory on Saturday night?
- 8:45[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going to give you one answer for both.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_00]: It's a turnover since that's, again, the most captain obviously in the number.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: What's you got, you guys got 30?
- 8:52[SPEAKER_00]: Is that right?
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: 30 takeaways?
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's an absurd number.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_00]: As long as the Packers don't beat them, so I'll still have a really good chance.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_00]: Might be too much to overcome without Micah Parsons and Eccloser.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, the ability to take care of the ball will be big.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay entered the Denver game, ranked number one to league on third downs.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: Offensily they were really bad in the second half.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_00]: They got to get that crank back up.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: So I would say those are two big ones.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, I've got to ask you for for a prediction of the game.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_01]: How does it go?
- 9:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would lean Chicago with this point.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_00]: Look, Chicago almost beat them here last time.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_00]: And, which I mean, Edmunds, I assume it's going to play.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_00]: They're home.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: I've got bears just have to be salivating at this game.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: And it's been, I mean, they haven't beaten the packers at soldier field and forever.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: They must kind of be like blood and the water.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_00]: kind of mode here.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I do think that matters.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: At least a started game amount of, I don't know if that stuff matters in the third quarter.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think it matters to start.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, can everybody just kind of write for the pick and Syrian Chicago is really good.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_00]: I, I think the bearers turn the tables and this one would be by my early guess.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_01]: Bill, thank you so much for the time.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for the insights in the knowledge.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_01]: Where can our audience find your writing on the green Bay Packers?
- 10:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just Google, um, Bill Heuber Packers and I'll
- 10:21[SPEAKER_01]: All right, great, thanks Bill, have a great day.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_01]: All right, take care, appreciate it.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_01]: We'll welcome back and thanks again to Bill Huber for that Packers knowledge, great stuff.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_01]: And that update on Josh Jacobs, you know, I didn't really know, I just see two DNPs.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_01]: I know he re-aggressed the ankle, but hearing that
- 10:39[SPEAKER_01]: Josh Jacobs intends to play against the bears.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_01]: The bears are gonna have to have a plan for that.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_01]: Josh Jacobs didn't tear them up two weeks ago, but he had a really nice game, 20 carries, 86 yards, a touchdown.
- 10:52[SPEAKER_01]: Again, that's not like, wow, unbelievable stuff, but obviously played a big role on offense, scored.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_01]: And the bears are gonna have to do what they did against Quinshan Juckins.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_01]: Last week, if they can stop Josh Jacobs,
- 11:09[SPEAKER_01]: That will go a long way towards the bears winning this football game.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_01]: And then of course, as Bill and I talked about the bears, I think this is a key.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_01]: The bears have to have a plan B against Jordan love because plan A of blitzing him a couple weeks ago simply did not work.
- 11:28[SPEAKER_01]: This is from PFF, just to hear how much the bears got torched by Jordan love on the blitz.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_01]: When the bear's blitzed, Jordan love was nine of 12 for 171 yards and three touchdowns.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_01]: That is a 156 point three pass a rating when blitzed.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_01]: So Dennis Allen, it's either you got to get more creative with where you're bringing the pressure from even though I thought he had been doing a very creative job.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think he had been mixing it up with where he was bringing the pressure from or
- 12:07[SPEAKER_01]: a different approach.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: If you can't heat them up, if that blitz can't get home, what is planned be?
- 12:14[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's going to be an interesting chest, chest move part of the chest match of football.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_01]: How how do the bears respond after a pretty quick turnaround and given everything that transpired a couple of weeks ago?
- 12:30[SPEAKER_01]: And then this is another huge, huge, huge thing for me.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_01]: I think if the bears want to win this football game, the bears have to take advantage.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_01]: of the takeaways.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_01]: Bill touched on takeaways being important, right?
- 12:45[SPEAKER_01]: He said if there's one or two, I don't know that the Packers can overcome it.
- 12:48[SPEAKER_01]: Well, two weeks ago, the Packers did overcome the one interception, right?
- 12:54[SPEAKER_01]: The first drive of the game, Packers are marching marching marching marching, and then CJ Gardiner Johnson intercepts the football, and it's like, okay, here we go.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_01]: But the bears couldn't take advantage.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_01]: They went backwards.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_01]: They had like the worst type of three and out they could have.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_01]: Remember this was the drive wear.
- 13:11[SPEAKER_01]: It looked like Colson Lovelin caught the ball and then it looked like Colson Lovelin.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_01]: Fumble the ball.
- 13:15[SPEAKER_01]: And then it turned out to be after a challenge.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_01]: They call some lovelin and incomplete pass.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_01]: And then calls some lovelin had a fall start.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_01]: Not a great moment, call some lovelin.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_01]: Not a great series for you.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_01]: You've had a great bust out season, second half of the season.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_01]: Not a great series there.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: So there's the drop, then there's the 84 fall start.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_01]: And then incomplete pass, incomplete pass bears are punting on fourth and 15.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_01]: That.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_01]: is what can't happen.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_01]: If the bear is managed to intercept Jordan love, if they can get the ball on the ground, I can then fall on the ball, I think more important than just taking the ball away obviously, again, he kept saying like Captain obvious over here, well, it's now my turn to say, well, Captain obvious over here.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_01]: Captain obvious over here, you got a score.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_01]: The bear's did that against the Browns.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I keep going back to last week because last week was utter domination, last week,
- 14:07[SPEAKER_01]: The Browns interceptions turn into touchdowns against the Packers one interception turned into going backwards and punting the ball going three and out.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_01]: That can't happen.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_01]: And again, it's a lot harder to turn the Packers over than it is to turn over.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_01]: Shoulder Sanders get this.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: Jordan love is tied with Caleb Williams near the bottom of the NFL with just six intersections.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_01]: So guy takes good care of the football and the pack are tied with the bears with 14 fumbles.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_01]: So 14 times the bears and the packers have both put the ball on the ground.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: That includes special teams.
- 14:49[SPEAKER_01]: I include defense that includes offense.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_01]: I just put all fumbles in there because all fumbles no matter where they happen on the field are important moments.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_01]: Now I think the bears can do it, right?
- 15:01[SPEAKER_01]: They showed us, they can do it.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_01]: They were so much better in that second half against the packers, offense and defense.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_01]: They need to pick up where they left off.
- 15:13[SPEAKER_01]: They obviously are motivated.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_01]: As I said last week with Kenneth Davis, if you haven't listened, take a listen to our last episode where we broke down the Browns win, the win over the Browns, I should say.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_01]: These guys weren't celebrating the win, but still were later focused on this game on Saturday night, and I think they can do it.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_01]: I think Ben Johnson has done a good job of focusing the energy of this team focusing attention of this team focusing the motion of this team positively.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_01]: to get these guys all pulling the rope the same way and to be productive, right?
- 15:55[SPEAKER_01]: To be harnessing that energy properly.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't have any reason to believe that things would change this week.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously we've seen the execution.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen when this team is executing their phenomenal.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_01]: Now what I also think, I'm gonna get a little fun with it, and a little fun with it.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_01]: I think Ben Johnson is gonna get deep in his bag of tricks.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_01]: Right Ben Johnson is known as wonderful play designer as a guy who can scheme guys wide open dreams up these wonder wonderful concepts dreams up these wonderful plays the stumble bum the fake fumble the fake stumble turning into a touchdown that happened against the bears.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_01]: I have a feeling we're going to see some of that right coaches typically save these moments for when when they feel like they need them just feels just feels like this would be an opportunity to draw some of that stuff up get it up on the call sheet and actually run it and actually run it to further make a statement further make a statement that okay yes we're
- 17:09[SPEAKER_01]: This is a new bear's team.
- 17:11[SPEAKER_01]: I am Ben Johnson.
- 17:12[SPEAKER_01]: I'm leading the way Caleb Williams is here and he can do it.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_01]: He can make all the throws.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_01]: He can make every single throw.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever we need Caleb Williams to do, we feel good and we're gonna show you.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_01]: And we're gonna show you with these crazy crazy plays.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_01]: I'll get real wild with it.
- 17:35[SPEAKER_01]: big man receiving touchdown.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_01]: I said this.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_01]: I joined ant if you follow ant bears cork on Twitter.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_01]: I joined his show the other day.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to echo a prediction I made there here about a little Darnell Wright receiving touchdown.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_01]: We saw that.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_01]: We saw that way early.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_01]: Think back to a training camp.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_01]: Remember that story from training camp where they had the offensive linemen doing the layup lines.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_01]: who made the, uh, who made the play of the day, Darnell Wright and Ben Johnson was not that coyote saying like, yeah, that's an audition.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_01]: We, when we practice, yes, it's fun, but we also want to see what big man can catch the football.
- 18:21[SPEAKER_01]: Darnell Wright caught the football and looked awfully athletic doing it.
- 18:25[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen the guy do cartwheels.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_01]: Darnell Wright's had an amazing season.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_01]: What if we gap it off with a little dart all right receiving touchdown?
- 18:33[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's a totally wild wild prediction, but I can feel Ben Johnson dialing something like that up to just push this team over the edge to just give them that extra little something
- 18:47[SPEAKER_01]: to win this football game because players love that stuff when they practice the wild weird wacky stuff, it's a break in the mundane.
- 18:55[SPEAKER_01]: It's fun for them.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_01]: You got guys doing different things.
- 18:59[SPEAKER_01]: And then when it gets called when they hear the call, that's like, okay, let's go.
- 19:04[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe in that little extra juice in those special moments.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_01]: So I think the bears do get it done.
- 19:14[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, I'll speak for myself.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, this is the beginning of the Bears Packers Rivalry again, right?
- 19:26[SPEAKER_01]: As Bill said, back is just bullied the bears.
- 19:29[SPEAKER_01]: Well, hopefully things are changing.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully two weeks ago, signaled that, yeah, this is a rivalry again, and that this is round two in this heavyweight duo, I suppose.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_01]: And then who knows?
- 19:45[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the bear's take round two, maybe ground three in the playoffs.
