0:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Another edition of Bears Overbears, Powered by Second City, Gridiron, Ryan, Drosty, Brian Orange, I'm going head to head with the opening night of the NFL.
0:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Aren't we brave, Brian, how you doing?
0:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, when footballs back, everybody wins.
0:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So join us have a beverage and it's talk some ball, watch some ball and get prepared.
0:34
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, first game is season,
0:37
[SPEAKER_01]: looking forward to it man and you know first first drink of the season two.
0:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So what's it going to be man?
0:45
[SPEAKER_01]: You go first this time.
0:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to get the honors.
0:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I was debating this.
0:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I almost want the stout.
0:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still not very cool here.
0:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would like for it to be a little more cool.
0:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was going to try to bring that on with a nice fall stout.
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: ended up feeling a little too heavy after dinner tonight though.
1:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So instead I went with just a classic the Yingling October fest.
1:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Had to pick this up recently.
1:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually had one at my before my fancy football draft and during my fantasy football draft, right?
1:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you know, I was just one of those things where I'm like, I love me some Yingling and heck yeah, man, why not?
1:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good fall beverage football is back whenever I think of
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's what I got.
1:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, a lot of you out there probably had this one before.
1:32
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, what an October fest is like, you know, pretty multi, you know, kind of darker colored beer.
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: This one is, I don't even know what the percentage is.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm guessing like four to five percent.
1:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that say on here?
1:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, youngling Pennsylvania claimed to be America's oldest brewery.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me make some decent stuff.
1:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like super high end, but it's fine.
1:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And I always like this one for an October fest.
1:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'll pour this.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you got?
1:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I haven't had the October fest seeingling.
2:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like gingling, man, if I'm ever out somewhere and that's an option, and it's all domestic, I'll prefer that.
2:11
[SPEAKER_01]: But so I've never even seen before.
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: It's brand new.
2:23
[SPEAKER_01]: This would be not the Pump King, but the Pump Queen.
2:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a Southern tier.
2:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Now this is a, it's a cider.
2:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an imperial cider, 8.6% but Southern tier.
2:37
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, they have a brewery in Charlotte.
2:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And so with us traveling to the Queen City,
2:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought what better than trying this pump queen this time.
2:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So my wife has had these, I've not yet, this is my first one, I had taste of hers, but this will be the first one, poured proper in a pint glass, but yeah, so football always makes me think of.
3:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Pumpkin, you know, fall off the surface, pumpkin, and we've talked a lot on this show about the pumpkin, our favorite pumpkin beer, and this is the the queen variety, sysider, nice and crisp little little apple, cheers, my manos, cheers.
3:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, so it's a good, it's a little too early for pumpkin beer in my opinion.
3:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still a little too warm all the time and
3:38
[SPEAKER_01]: right now.
3:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So I prefer for it to get a little colder for an october fest or pumpkin, but man, football's back.
3:44
[SPEAKER_01]: October fest pumpkins, you know, bring it on.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Got to do it.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Got to do it.
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, I think I saw this.
3:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But I opened my bottle and started foaming over the top, a little over over carbonated here by Yingling.
3:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, put Ryan on the screen.
3:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So I could try to clean this.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a little tiny puddle of beer on my
4:07
[SPEAKER_01]: It's no one for us to folks.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
4:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You were talking about that one in a thread I think with Ross Reed recently, weren't you?
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, oh, I haven't had the pumpkin either.
4:17
[SPEAKER_00]: That sounds pretty good.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like pumpkin a lot.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love pumpkin beers.
4:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't had any of this year yet.
4:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's never too early for me, though, for a pumpkin beer.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: When I can spot them.
4:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't seen too many out there.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen the same atoms one here around here, but that's been about it so far and pumpkin.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't actually even send here.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to get that one.
4:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in Chicago, which I will be this fall.
4:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll have to pick up some.
4:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, hey, listen, we are hopefully going to get some relation to going with.
4:48
[SPEAKER_01]: with southern tier, and we can maybe remedy that, get them ship an Iowa all over, but the thing I love about this one too is you have to like ciders, right?
5:01
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a ciders so it's nice and crisp, it's not an overpowering pumpkin flavor, right?
5:06
[SPEAKER_01]: The pumpkin you like it because it's got, it's an imperial, so I think it's like eight or nine percent.
5:12
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's got a kick.
5:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not too sweet, but you do taste it.
5:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a subtle pumpkin.
5:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
5:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice and crisp and I'll take it.
5:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, it's still warm out.
5:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Good time to go apple picking.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'll take it.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so cheers head to the clean statement.
5:32

6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: But tonight it's all about bears over beers and Brian the Chicago Bears Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
6:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, noon central one o'clock Eastern.
6:56
[SPEAKER_00]: bears going to Charlotte just down the road from you, taking on the panthers, kind of a little bit of a surprise playoff team last year, one of bad division on some tie rakers, but they did have some big victories, defeating the Los Angeles Rams at home during the regular season at one point in time.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen some discourse online about, oh, I hope the bears aren't overlooking this team, some of the fans.
7:21
[SPEAKER_00]: seem like they're overlooking the team.
7:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I am.
7:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they have a solid defense, you know, all lines got some changes up front as we'll talk about.
7:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's a gimme win.
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: The bears are favorable like two and a half.
7:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be a tough game.
7:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the bears are going to pull away in the end or I sure hope they do.
7:38
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, how are you feeling about this game?
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Go on it.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
7:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, um,
7:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you, I think it's definitely not a giving by any stretch.
7:51
[SPEAKER_01]: They are a hard-nosed team, right?
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: They're motto and Charlotte is keep pounding.
7:59
[SPEAKER_01]: They pound the rock.
8:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And now they lost Rico Dowdo, who was a local guy.
8:06
[SPEAKER_01]: He actually went to the same school that Ben Johnson coached that and played at him right here.
8:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Rico, so he's he's a he's a stud now he's in Pittsburgh, but they've got they still have a two-headed monster in the backfield there So you got Chuba Hubbard who I think is one of the most underrated backs in the lead and then you have Jonathan Brooks coming back from injury and he's still been limited in practice But he is a dynamic athlete.
8:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think could really give us some problems in both the run and past game If we're not careful and
8:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think and like you said they have a tough defense.
8:43
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got some really, really strong players and they added a couple new ones as well.
8:48
[SPEAKER_01]: But the one thing that I feel like is is really the most fascinating to me here.
8:53
[SPEAKER_01]: is, nobody talks about the 49ers with the injury bug.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's true, they're well documented, they always get injuries.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: The charges are another team that comes to mind when it comes to injuries year to year out.
9:04
[SPEAKER_01]: But so far this year, I feel like the Panthers have gotten hit the hardest.
9:08
[SPEAKER_01]: List to this list.
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You have one of their stud young rookies, Chris Brazbel, injured reserve out for the year with a knee injury.
9:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Taylor Moton, I forget how you say his name, but he's on injured reserve as well for the year.
9:26
[SPEAKER_01]: They're starting right tackle, I believe.
9:28
[SPEAKER_01]: One of their best past rushers, they brought in what's that guy's name, Jalen Phillips.
9:35
[SPEAKER_01]: They brought in Jalen Phillips, but they're best one that they had internally was Nick Scowrton out for the season toward ACL, Patrick Jones, another guy, outside linebacker, he's going to be out this week also, and so,
9:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got a lot of injuries, they still have Derek Brooks, who I think is our Derek Brown, rather, who's Derek Brooks all-time great-line-backer, he's one of the best defensive tackles in the league.
10:03
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be really what we need to worry about.
10:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember the joint practices we had
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Derek Brown is going to give us some fits, and they're no slouch.
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I also saw a statistic.
10:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They were the best team in a league when it comes to defending play action passes, which is something that Ben loves to run.
10:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be interesting to see how he attacks,
10:32
[SPEAKER_01]: This this defense, but I'm excited man.
10:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like we're going to be able to run the ball and be able to pass the ball.
10:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Even if we don't have room at doons, we're still going to be able to slice them up with coals and loveland and and obviously our guy Luther burden and I think Juday Walker is going to is going to show up.
10:49
[SPEAKER_01]: You got cleaf Raymond as well.
10:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
10:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like they're not going to be able to just stand up to us as far as points, putting up points in the board.
10:56
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's not going to be a gimmie at all.
10:58
[SPEAKER_01]: If they can control the ball and stop our run, get a couple, you know, three and out or turnovers, you know, it's going to be in Charlotte.
11:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they're very, very amped up city for this opportunity.
11:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have a few Charlotte locals and Panther fans over my house this Sunday to watch the game.
11:17
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like you said, they had a couple of strong performances last year against the Rams.
11:22
[SPEAKER_01]: They beat them once and almost beat them again.
11:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, they're a team that you can't underrate, but week one, Ben Johnson, Caleb, second year in the system, I got this as a win for sure.
11:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you hit on a lot of the points I wanted to hit on because they got this strong defense and it's going to be an opportunity for the bears to come into Charlotte and show that this offense is going to hit the ground running right away because we know last year, you know, it took a little while.
11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It took a few games before they looked like they were starting to build up to what we expected out of a Ben Johnson offense, you know, now we think that they're going to hit the ground running and all the reporting coming out of camp and.
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: how hard Caleb is working and hit that next level, you know, all of the camaraderie and, you know, everybody kind of being on the same page with the offense.
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So you go to Charlotte and you can show the world that, you know, going up against a really good defense that you can put points on the board.
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And we know that the bears are going to have to do that this year because our defense is, you know, not projected to be
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: super great although who knows you know we we got some new faces we got some ascending faces maybe they'll surprise people but we know we're gonna have to put points on the board and if they can do that in game one and look you know like they're picking up where they left off last year I mean that's gonna be really huge so I I feel pretty confident
12:47
[SPEAKER_00]: in the offense going in.
12:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think on the flip side of the ball, there's a real opportunity here for the defense, you know, to get some confidence and look good.
12:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I mean, you mentioned, you know, they have a good running game.
12:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, Bryce Young has looked a little bit better as his career has gone on.
13:03
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, they just they have the offensive line is so much stuff and flux and and there's kind of a key to this game I think at left tackle because they're starting left tackle Torres knee ligament last year in the playoffs he's on the populist so they bring in Rashid Walker.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: from Green Bay to take over a left tackle.
13:23
[SPEAKER_00]: The right tackle, Taylor Morton had blood clots over the summer and his lungs and so he's out right now.
13:30
[SPEAKER_00]: They got a rookie on the right side and Monroe Freeling at right tackle.
13:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So on one side, you're gonna have Montez Sweat who was on the top 100 list.
13:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And we know like when he shows up, he really shows up and we're looking on the other side to get something on a dial or our guy Austin Booker.
13:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, as it turns out, Austin Booker has a little bit of history here with her sheed walker because it was her sheed walker that awesome Booker abused when the Bears played the Packers last year.
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, went right around him on that play where Jordan loved got injured by Austin Booker and we and all the Green Bay fans were coming after Austin San was a dirty hit and all that.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: that was that was Rashid Walker and now he's playing left tackle for Carolina.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is what those games where you could see Montez have a big game and then one of those other two guys I mentioned hopefully Austin Booker step up and have a big game and then all of a sudden, you know, I didn't even talk about the defensive tackles but
14:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Then all of a sudden you're feeling like, hey, this past rush actually is going to be decent this year.
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is a chance for, you know, they, they got some moving pieces for sure, but it could give our D line a lot of confidence if they come in there on the road and have a solid outing and, you know, you get that you start getting that pressure out front who knows what Dylan being a make a do in his first game.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think there's a real opportunity here for the defense to get a lot of confidence in game one.
14:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, you bring up some great points.
14:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean,
15:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even think about their sheetwalker piece, but I really liked Monroe Freeling coming out of Georgia.
15:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was a great pick for them, especially with the health concerns they're dealing with up front.
15:12
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, their formula is not to drop back like the packers do.
15:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Their formula is to pound the rock and how much they can do that.
15:21
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got what a fifth, sixth round guy going to get some starting reps.
15:30
[SPEAKER_01]: like our weakness is up front.
15:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And if they can, if they can take advantage of that, then we're going to be in trouble.
15:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of like it was last year.
15:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm eager to see how we step up with our our new look, defensive interior.
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And if we step up to the challenge, you know, I don't want theme and lead the team in tackles from a safety spot.
15:50
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
15:51
[SPEAKER_01]: How's Dev and Bush going to look?
15:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, it's one of those games I could kind of see go both ways.
15:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like at the end of the day, we have too much firepower on offense.
16:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's going to be like that this season.
16:04
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to win games because we outscore them in high scoring contests.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: You know over 20 points both teams sort of thing and I think we could see that here You know, they put up 20 24 points with 150 yards rushing total and But Caleb and company are able to just outscore them.
16:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So but yeah, if they drop back, you know I think I think the way Dio has looked in camp
16:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Montez has been that rookie on the right side.
16:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, it could, it could spell trouble for, for, for Bryce Mont, Bryce Young.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, hey, we know the bears for the last couple of years have really struggled at stopping the run.
16:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So, right, hopefully they can get off to a good start here.
16:45
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, when they do get into those passing downs and Bryce is in a guy who really throws a lot of picks thing you'll have like,
16:51
[SPEAKER_00]: 10 last year, 10 or 11 something like that.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, throws them, but now I got a super high rate, but you know, if we get some pressure, maybe Dylan can get one in his first game, that would be pretty sweet.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, no, I agree with you.
17:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be a game that's probably, well, on Carolina's side, going to start a little slow, but I think it'll be tight early, and then I think the bulls, the bears are going to pull away down the stretch and hopefully start, you know, a little stretch of games
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: not nail biders like last year.
17:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that this is a game.
17:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really important for them to get the window because we got Minnesota next.
17:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Minnesota is a team that people are suddenly like kind of high on.
17:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they could really surprise some people.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, my hot take is that I think Minnesota's going to finish ahead of Green Bay in the stand exist year.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't say in what position, but I think that I think there's a good chance of that.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um, you know, Minnesota is always a tough game.
17:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you if you drop this one, you're looking at a situation where you got to get a win against a Divis rival.
17:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you got Philly right after that.
17:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got to you got to get the win here.
18:00
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a game you should win.
18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think
18:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the bears win this one.
18:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you want to do predictions in our way.
18:08
[SPEAKER_01]: That's wait.
18:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
18:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's wait.
18:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's wait.
18:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And before we get to that, we're going to talk about the depth chart.
18:16
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about the injury report that dropped today.
18:18
[SPEAKER_00]: The official first injury report for the bears.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: We do want to go to a word from one of the new sponsors here at Second City Grid Iron.
18:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian, and that's our good friends at my bookie.
18:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So my bookie is a way for you to start your football season with the bet that feels like it can't miss.
18:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, they went into tonight.
18:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about this last week and they had a lock of the season and it was a no brain bet going into opening night and that was with the Patriots in Seattle for the kickoff game.
18:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going on right now.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's almost half
18:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Their question was, would the Seahawks raise their championship banner?
19:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course they did.
19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw it happen on the pregame show.
19:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They're the defending champions.
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's their home opener.
19:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Huge night for their fans up in Seattle.
19:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And you got that bet at plus money odds.
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: If you were on my bookie, we told you about this all last week to go in and get on this bonus bet, this lock of the season right away.
19:22

19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: There will be more coming all season long.

20:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And if, if you were listed in last week, I said, you should take the over on jadarian prices rushing yards.
20:14
[SPEAKER_01]: He's already at 42 yards.
20:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And the line was at 70 at one point.
20:22
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like it's shifting now.
20:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that works, but yes, 70.
20:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would have taken the ovaries at 42.
20:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not even half time.
20:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So, hmm.
20:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Looking pretty solid there.
20:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks he looks really good.
20:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's got like a five yard average or something like that right now.
20:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So Anyway, yes my bookie we appreciate it and yeah you got some free money sitting out there in the table for you
20:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there you go.
20:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I think when I was talking about this last week, I can't remember, but if I was a bedding man and sometimes I am going into this week and we can kind of bring this into our injury discussion.
21:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd be hammering the over whether it's yardage or catches for colst and lovelend in this game.
21:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think colst and lovelins gonna have a big game against Carolina.
21:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I think we saw down the stretch, you know, we know he led the bears in receiving last year, but that second half of the season he really took off.
21:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that in a lot of ways he became Caleb's safety valve, especially in third-downs, and with Rome, you know, a little hobbled right now with the calf injury, Luther has a practice in several weeks, but we expect him to play.
21:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is going to be a big coalson-leveling game, and I would be definitely hammering the over on whatever it is.
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I even looked at to see what the over is set out for Yardage or catches, but I think he's going to have a big game, right?
21:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
21:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too.
21:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to eat up the scene this week and just take the top off that defense from the middle.
21:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited to see him in year two as well, man.
22:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be, who was going to be nice?
22:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So that injury report came out today.
22:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And I covered this over at WendyCityGridiron.com.
22:09
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys can check that out over there.
22:11
[SPEAKER_00]: All the bears news, all day, every day.
22:14
[SPEAKER_00]: The bears do not have an actual practice today.
22:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was their participation was just totally estimated.
22:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But on that report,
22:21
[SPEAKER_00]: The only DNP was Tyson Bayjant with a back injury.
22:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Rome was limited with the calf injury and Azita Pillow, amazingly, with his knee coming back from that torn pateler tendon, limited.
22:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Listed as limited, a guy who tore his patella tendon,
22:42
[SPEAKER_00]: like what this was eight, not even eight months ago.
22:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's insane to me.
22:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That this guy could be coming back sooner rather than later.
22:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We thought initially, might miss the entire season, Brian, and he's limited for a week one.
22:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That's amazing.
22:57
[SPEAKER_00]: The Rome situation, I mean, there was a lot of misinformation out there.
23:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember the guy's name.
23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: One of those Twitter doctors, he was talking about like, oh, it's his foot from last year.
23:07
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not, I mean, the bear's commented on it too.
23:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Ben talked about it.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It's his calf, so it's a totally different injury.
23:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're hopeful that he's gonna be able to play this weekend.
23:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's not lingering from last season and what was going on with his foot.
23:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, how you feel about this injury,
23:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, gosh.
23:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel great about this injury report.
23:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, it can't really get better than this.
23:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like why receiver room, even without DJ Moore is still arguably our deepest position group, especially when you consider tight ends and the prominence they have in this offensive scheme.
23:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not worried about it.
23:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Get him healthy.
23:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, that said I was expecting it really big year at a Rome and I think he's I think he's going to have a great year.
23:59
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's a calf injury.
24:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It came from a non contact portion of practice.
24:06
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's the opposite leg of his left foot stress fracture from a year ago.
24:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but, um,
24:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not worried about it, man.
24:15
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact that we have really only him and Anazzi on the list is kind of miraculous.
24:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not expecting Anazzi back any time soon, but the fact that he's back practicing it all, he's not on IR currently.
24:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if he's gonna be back next couple of games.
24:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy to think of.
24:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, this is always nice typing up these articles, because I remember some of those entry reports I did last year towards the end and it was like,
24:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 9 or 10 guys on each side know it's week one, but you know, sometimes it's a rough preseason.
24:47
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of people on injury report.
24:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I mean, this is very little right now, hopefully.
24:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We can, you know, stay healthy because we see tonight, Sam Darnal went into the locker early in the game.
24:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I have not seen an update on that, but as new lock is out there.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
25:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he coming back?
25:04
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's Benjuy lock and the C-Oxer struggling, man.
25:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I thought they'd win this game and if Darnal doesn't come back, I don't think they do.
25:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, seven.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, about to go in a half time.
25:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, New England, New England up in Seattle.
25:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, yeah, I'm Yeah, should we do our picks?
25:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's do it.
25:30
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
25:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I am going to say the bears win this one fairly comfortably.
25:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put this one at 31 to 17.
25:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I got 31 20.
25:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, all right.
25:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Close.
25:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:45
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, both double digits.
25:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Both double digits.
25:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they put up some points.
25:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost said 24, but now I think I think they have some success in the ground, but we're just too explosive.
26:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I'm excited to see our defense kind of step up when it matters.
26:05
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think early we might get a little scare, but I think they settle in and
26:11
[SPEAKER_01]: When Bryce has to drop back and pass it, we're going to have some pressures and maybe even a nice reminiscent turnover from a year ago, which I'm excited to see.
26:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um,
26:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I say 31, 20 big wind down in Charlotte, and then I believe we host the Vikings, right?
26:33
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't travel there.
26:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's tuna roll at home after that.
26:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, bikes equals 300 bikes, eagles, and then jets out all at home.
26:42
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right, with the eagles being a Monday night game, right?
26:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yeah, yeah.
26:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um,
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I feel good about this week.
26:54
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, here's a difference, man.
26:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And I heard a quote from Jalen Johnson, he said something along the lines of, he's never had a coach, you know, basically, you know, express to him the realistic possibility of making a Super Bowl run and how that invigorated him.
27:12
[SPEAKER_01]: We're at a stage now where it's Super Bowl or bust, and it's crazy to think about.
27:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I'm not saying I'm gonna be disappointed in a deep playoff run, I won't be, but their goal is not to make a deep playoff run.
27:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Their goal is to win a Super Bowl.
27:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And every team, every year is gonna say that's their goal, that's what they should say.
27:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's not the reality.
27:36
[SPEAKER_01]: This is their reality.
27:37
[SPEAKER_01]: They have that one focus, one track mind,
27:42
[SPEAKER_01]: and that's what they're shooting for.
27:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, that brings in the question as we mentioned and positive last week, are they going to make a big swing for an edge russia or a defensive help somewhere?
27:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
27:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like they want to see how this team performs before they make that chips all in move, but it's super bold for them.
28:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And so,
28:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to only build off of a year ago, barring injuries, of course.
28:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But the sky's a limit, and we got to beat these teams that are playoff caliber teams.
28:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to beat them.
28:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And if we want to win the Super Bowl, we have to beat them.
28:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Handily and consistently and and not saying we can't have a let down here and I think you and I both predicted 13 wins this season right couple 12.
28:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a 12.
28:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
28:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Well 12 or 13.
28:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I might be a 12.
28:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember.
28:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I might have been 13 either way, you know, we got to win these type of games, even though it's at, you know, at Carolina.
28:47
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to win this game and I think we do.
28:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
28:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.
28:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's kind of one of those things where, you know, all these people talking about possible regression and on defense, yeah, they're not going to have as many turnovers.
29:01
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a unique situation.
29:03
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think people just discount, yeah, but that can be made up for with the offense being even better.
29:09
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I can't remember who had the tweet.
29:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It might have been Jacob talking about how I'm
29:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been Sam householder.
29:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember.
29:17
[SPEAKER_00]: One of our guys from Wendy Seagriner had a tweet today where it was like, if you, you know, Kale's his completion percentage being lower last year.
29:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like if you raise that 5% you're talking about how many hundred more yards, you know, and we expect him to complete more passes this year.
29:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I mean, I think he's going to throw 4,000 yards this year.
29:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He barely missed it last year.
29:38
[SPEAKER_00]: We should have had it when you consider some of the drops.
29:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, like the offense is definitely going to be better.
29:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to have some of these guys involved earlier, some of it's because DJ left, but you know, like again, we didn't remember.
29:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember all the discussion last year on how the bears whiffed because they didn't get Tyler Warren, they got Colston, love one.
29:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And then like down the stretch that looked foolish because Colston was really lightened up.
30:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we saw like flashes from Luther here and there like the flea flicker in week three against Dallas, but then you know, like and we didn't wouldn't see much room for a little while and then at the end of the year, he was a beast like those guys are going to be really involved right from the start, especially wrongs.
30:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, I'm expecting the office to be even better.
30:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a tough division for sure, but you know, we did this season prediction show on bears by seven the other day and I said 12 and five I picked the bears to go to the NFC title game.
30:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I said they'd be one step further the last year, but I also said.
30:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Barring the defense, you know, making some shocking improvements.
30:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So I said, I need to see more from the defense to pick them to go to the Super Bowl.
30:44
[SPEAKER_00]: But I said, if some of these guys like an Austin Booker really rises to the occasion, or if they make a trade for an ed rush, ed rush, or if they're not getting it from their own guys.
30:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I then I do think they could get there, you know, and I already got people, which tells you the confidence of bear's fans right now.
31:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I had people in the comments saying that I was going to be eating my words and I'm like,
31:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I said they're going to go further in the last year.
31:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in the NFC town because people want to want to see why I want to see revolts too.
31:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to be like, I'm trying to be realist and I need to see a little more of our defense.
31:15
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think it's possible, I absolutely think it's possible.
31:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's going to be really intriguing and that's why I think this is a game where you can set that tone early because of the, you know, flux on the offensive line
31:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And that could be huge for their mindset.
31:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And so yeah, this is this is a really important game.
31:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't overlook it.
31:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to look probably pretty tough in the first half.
31:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the bears go on a half time, but like a three point leader, it's fairly close.
31:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to be wrong.
31:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love them be up a third point today, but you know, we shall see.
31:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:53
[SPEAKER_01]: No, and you know, that's an awesome point.
31:56
[SPEAKER_01]: The test that this particular team presents with their rush game prowess and our weakness there.
32:04
[SPEAKER_01]: How are we going to respond?
32:05
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to give us a lot of confidence.
32:08
[SPEAKER_01]: going into a game against the Eagles right in a couple weeks that can run the ball on anybody.
32:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, those rookies, those guys that we're going to be dependent on for heavy dose of snaps, how they fare, how we perform against the strong rushing team of
32:26
[SPEAKER_01]: of Carolina.
32:28
[SPEAKER_01]: That's big.
32:29
[SPEAKER_01]: But another thing that I'll say about the regression piece, we had so many injuries last year.
32:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Jalen Johnson was not himself.
32:36
[SPEAKER_01]: People forget he was our best player on the team, not just defender for a couple years there.
32:43
[SPEAKER_01]: If he's back to that level, that's going to look totally, we're not going to know what that looks like.
32:49
[SPEAKER_01]: With Ben Johnson's offense in Jalen Johnson on defense, along with the sweat and bush and Thineman and Edwards consistency, you know, like, what are we going to get from our D-line?
33:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Who knows?
33:02
[SPEAKER_01]: But if we have Jalen Johnson back to his self,
33:06
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be so huge for our defense.
33:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, people in the regression conversations don't like to talk about how injured we were.
33:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we had more snaps lost from our starters than any other team in the league by far.
33:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, right?
33:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And nobody talks about that.
33:23
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an inconvenient truth.
33:25
[SPEAKER_01]: But Jalen's back, and he's not just an average Joe Shmo.
33:29
[SPEAKER_01]: We know Collar Gordon is doing Collar Gordon things.
33:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully he can come back, but we're used to him not being around.
33:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's about, but but Jalen coming back, Ty Reak going to be back, you know, I'm excited to see what that secondary can do when it comes to, you know, defend in the past and then you got Devon Bush who had, I think, top three highest defensive passer ratings out of the linebacker.
33:57
[SPEAKER_01]: all across the league.
33:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, they brought in some more guys.
34:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited to see it play out and it's going to be a good test, but I think we get it done this week, so I'm excited about it.
34:09
[SPEAKER_00]: man, there were games last year.
34:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember, we're our entire linebacking core was out.
34:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like, people forget this.
34:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we were, we were talking about every week, like, we couldn't believe the injuries on the defense.
34:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And not just to like Joe Schmows, like you said, like he pieces, Jalen and Johnson, out for so many games and when he came back.
34:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
34:29
[SPEAKER_00]: When Jalen came back, he wasn't himself.
34:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks slower.
34:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Like now he is locked in and looks totally healthy.
34:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is gigantic for the defense.
34:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And sure, we don't have a lot of depth.
34:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got to stay, got to stay healthy.
34:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you look at the little starting line backers, I mean, Demargo Jackson was a real success story last.
34:46
[SPEAKER_00]: You're kind of coming in out of nowhere.
34:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
34:48
[SPEAKER_00]: playing in one of those games calling calling the plays were in the green dot uh... for the first time ever he talked about last year if you guys remember how he was practicing calling out the plays in a mirror at home but he did want to screw up and he went out there and i think i gave him the game ball that we can't hell of a game he was like this
35:08
[SPEAKER_00]: big breath of fresh air just a huge discovery for the bears last year and you know now he's starting he was solid TJ coming back to Evan bush you mentioned me that's a really solid lineback in core yeah we should all I feel like when Kobe Bryant got hurt
35:24
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, people like we obviously he's our first round draft pick, but people are really excited to put Dylan next to him and it's kind of like, but remember we still got that like blue chip rookie back there, you know, and you know Xavier Woods is healthy and he's a veteran he's not Kobe Bryant, but he's a veteran who's played a lot of games in this league and that'll help play next to him.
35:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, there's reason for optimism on the back end and linebackers, I just think, you know, we got it.
35:48
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to see it out of these linemen and they should have every motivation in the world.
35:55
[SPEAKER_00]: to get out of the gate and look strong.
35:58
[SPEAKER_00]: We got some young guys coming in there like Jordan Vanburg, who could shock some people.
36:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So, there's definitely a reason for optimism.
36:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I gotta see it, but I'm excited to watch them in a meaningful game.
36:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh gosh, it does not get any better than this.
36:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
36:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, normally I like to just watch it and come from my home by myself.
36:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe my wife and kids, but I have some friends coming over because I live in Carolina.
36:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I'm going to have some Panthers friends over here.
36:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be even better.
36:30
[SPEAKER_01]: But that means we've got to win.
36:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't handle it.
36:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't.
36:35
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, my daughter's even, you know, she's sporting the bare stuff these days at school.
36:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So she's even going to get it if we don't.
36:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm confident, man.
36:44
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be Ben Johnson's homecoming, right?
36:46
[SPEAKER_01]: He's from here too.
36:48
[SPEAKER_01]: He played college ball at Chapel Hill, not too too far from Charlotte.
36:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And
36:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, he played high school ball in Asheville, which is only a couple hours away.
36:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure he's going to have a big turnout, but he doesn't care about any of that.
37:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He just cares about the W, which is his rubbed off on the team, and Madden cover the hype, this and that, top 100.
37:11
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter, you know, they're focused and their lockstep, and I think you might have some hiccups, but at the end of the day, these guys have been putting in work.
37:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And like you said, Jalen Johnson looks like his self again.
37:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And as one thing I noticed in camp, he was mirroring guys, even when we up against you saw like the route against Jamar Chase, you know, Jalen's all over him.
37:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Jamar Chase is arguably the best by receiving the lead.
37:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
37:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think we get it done and hopefully it's a nice statement win for us.
37:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we can avenge that week one loss a year ago against the Vikings the week after.
37:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it is wild how all over the map analysts are with the bears because some have them like, one of the Super Bowl top five, top 10 in the power rankings.
38:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I see some other people are like leaving them out of the playoffs.
38:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like all over.
38:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people just think they're way over height and other people are like totally bought in.
38:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a meaningful tape out there.
38:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's show all the experts what this team can do.
38:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Statement when I like it and we'll be here next week to glow to
38:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait, man, they'll be awesome.
38:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're, you know, we're week one.
38:28
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't really feel like week one yet.
38:30
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we got TV football on, but bears haven't played yet.
38:33
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't seen it.
38:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But it still feels like it still feels like a preseason to me.
38:37
[SPEAKER_01]: The next week is going to feel like the real deal.
38:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can't wait to join you all again here a week from now.
38:45
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be every like you said every reason to go to Minnesota game like winning revenge and have a chip on the shoulder because they'd like dominate them for three quarters last year at home and then lost in the By far best game JJ McCarthy has had in the NFL and now he's the third string quarterback in Minnesota.
39:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, man, I mean, they should be going into week two like really rare and to go and so if you come off with a win here, that'll be really fun.
39:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So
39:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Looking forward to it, looking forward to this season.
