Bear Bones: To IR and Back Again, 2025 Week 6: Bears @ Commanders · 2nd City Gridiron

0:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome the pair of bones Get your hold Dr. Mason Well
1:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome into this episode of Bear Bones as always.
1:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I am Dr. Mason West.
1:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Weird in special Friday edition.
1:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So be called couple of things.
1:19
[SPEAKER_01]: One kind of workout, the fact that the bear are playing on Monday, football.
1:24
[SPEAKER_01]: It made sense to push this episode of Bear Bones back one day.
1:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Part of the reason one of the biggest things that we do in the show is discussion about what's going on with the injury report.
1:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And the injury reports delay today, because that delay
1:40
[SPEAKER_01]: The one that came on Thursday, you know, it's more of a generalization because they didn't actually have that practice and if anything, the one tomorrow the Saturday one will be the more robust the chip one.
1:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you've always saw a good idea decent idea of what's going on today, so some other reasons why we're doing this special Friday live edition of bare bones in addition to that.
2:01
[SPEAKER_01]: actually went to Lion King last night here in Chicago.
2:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So originally the plan was to have Danny and a special guest do the show yesterday, but unfortunately Danny could not make it.
2:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're end up working now, we're doing it today.
2:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to say this will ultimately be the same.
2:18
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to go through a lot of same categories, couple.
2:20
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to skip because it makes more sense with two people and you get just me today.
2:24
[SPEAKER_01]: But I wanted to get some of this
2:28
[SPEAKER_01]: commutes potentially over the weekends and maybe even if you're listening to this on Monday, you work going into work and so you can get your bears news.
2:39
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, first things up chart review, a couple of things just to go over here.
2:44
[SPEAKER_01]: A little bit of the slower week, it's weird when you have Monday night football, things trickle out a little slower, there's not maybe quite as much and it seems so long, especially this week, right?
2:53
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact that this is a game that a lot of people are looking forward to for good and bad reasons, but the fact that you're coming off the by, the fact that you're pushed all in a Monday, it seems like this game is not going to get here, but so things that did happen this week.
3:12
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of cool right now a part owner investor in a women's professional soccer team just doing the thing you expect to him to do you know you heard when you first signed his contract with the bears as a rookie you know he diversified
3:41
[SPEAKER_01]: A couple of actual quotes to discuss here, Ben Johnson said on face and the commanders, man, you really need complementary football to beat this team.
3:52
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a really good football team.
3:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Dan Quinn is an outstanding coach.
3:57
[SPEAKER_01]: His guys play hard and they play inspired football.
3:59
[SPEAKER_01]: There are a lot of similarities between what we face a couple of weeks ago with the Raiders and Pete Carol, led team and Dan Quinn led team.
4:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So a couple of things to to unpack there.
4:10
[SPEAKER_01]: First off, actually, switch this up.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a wrong mic on.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, that's probably better sound quality.
4:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, first off, this is a good football team.
4:21
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going into the year was one of the, I believe the oldest team in terms of not just the team as a whole, but also their starters.
4:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you have that, there's a lot of obviously veteran leadership, which is important, but you don't have that youth, you need effort.
4:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Dan Quinn has brought that to the team.
4:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Dan Quinn is an outstanding coach.
4:43
[SPEAKER_01]: People kind of forget that.
4:45
[SPEAKER_01]: They forget that.
4:46
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, his falcons seem hinted to the Super Bowl and really should have wanted that crazy 23 game that I guess the Patriots.
4:54
[SPEAKER_01]: They break down on the defensive side a bit of a breakdown as well on the offensive side and all of that ultimately lead into that loss.
5:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he had some bad hires at offensive coordinator, that one of the reasons why you couldn't replace Kyle Shanahan, ultimately, could not keep that Falcons team going, and one of the reasons he was ultimately released.
5:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you go to his time with Dallas.
5:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that Dallas defense has not been the same since he left, and people also tend to forget he was a dank win, was a finalist for that fair shop along with my favorite blues.
5:26
[SPEAKER_01]: In a bit crazy at the end of the day that you're a blues,
5:31
[SPEAKER_01]: got that job.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, and that's not even a site hindsight.
5:37
[SPEAKER_01]: At the time, we found out to ultimately part of the decision making into hiring eberfluous over Dan Quinn came to representation, you know, Matt eberfluous Ryan Polls, all under that same agency.
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: We know that that was a big part of it.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you a hand-danned puzzle and take me to get the commander's job, which is great and you saw the success, right?
5:58
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact that not only with a rookie quarterback or they able to flip that team round very quickly, a new ownership group helped as well, of course, also new GM at the helm, but
6:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and not just make make playoffs, but when in that first round, beating the lines, uh, we'll talk about that a little bit later today, and not just being the lines, but helping release Ben Johnson, a little sooner to the market so the various good can hire them.
6:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, also as a reminder, the commanders wanted to hire Ben Johnson.
6:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, they, but then you'll then ultimately decide it.
6:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe the story goes,
6:36
[SPEAKER_01]: one last hurrah and, you know, they almost had to pivot to being quit, but back to the quote itself, this is going to be a hard-fuck game.
6:44
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not just like that Raider's game was.
6:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the Raider's game for the viewers was gross from a couple of perspectives, whether it's the lack of offensive consistency early on, whether it was an inability to control Max Crosby, which is hard to control Max Crosby as a whole, but
7:02
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be a high effort team.
7:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You see that if you watch the film for the commanders last couple weeks, just like you saw that for the Raiders.
7:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's going to be a hard game.
7:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Ben Johnson also said on his role and improving the bearers for round attack.
7:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to evaluate any of our backs right now.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: When you turn on the tape and there are some free runners in the hole where the plays design to go, I take it personally because I actually spend more time on the run games than I do in the passing game.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only trying to create explosives in the running game, but being the sound.
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So, a couple of things I'm happier.
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, it's a little bit of a kind statement by Ben while it's harder to evaluate the running game with where the line has been.
7:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's a reason why Jackson Jones was benched in that last game.
7:48
[SPEAKER_01]: He was pulled because he could not,
7:51
[SPEAKER_01]: obviously gets at the second level.
7:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's a huge problem, but even sometimes think, you know, just first level blocks for it, correct?
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Just blocking down on a defensive line in when they were so insitting, you know, right in his face to the left of him.
8:05
[SPEAKER_01]: But then also, yes, there would be times where either supposed to be a double team and he's supposed to work up to the second line and whether it was due to a little bit of the angle, whether it was due to not understanding the play at hand.
8:16
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a combination of things, but he didn't often
8:20
[SPEAKER_01]: and it is hard as a running bag, going to hit the hole or to before even hit it where you're getting contact.
8:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And that did happen a couple of times.
8:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I said it was a bit kind because if you do look at the stats, you know, rushing yards of expected, things of that, and just watch the film.
8:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're their holes being missed too.
8:38
[SPEAKER_01]: There's opportunities, there's yards being left them field by the running game.
8:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the boundary switch is not known as a runner between the
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: He's had some flashes, which I've enjoyed, but you know, you can go back to that one play where he fights too hard to try to get actually yards a couple weeks ago and as a losing yards on the second third fourth effort.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's not as simple and clean as the line that being a problem.
9:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, compared to last year, I mean the line is still better.
9:07
[SPEAKER_01]: The scheme is way better.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you do have to take the run-of-action consideration.
9:12
[SPEAKER_01]: the other the last thing there to kind of parse out that I think is interesting is the how he spends more time in the run in the past game.
9:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this keeps you in cool for a couple reasons.
9:26
[SPEAKER_01]: One, the fact that the passing game is as explosive as it can be as dynamic as it can be and as creative as it can be with in theory less effort, which is hard, which is
9:41
[SPEAKER_01]: because over the years, the beers have had not great passing attacks.
9:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a bit disappointing at the same time, because if you is spending this much time on the run game, you would hope to see a bit more out of it.
9:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And a bit more is probably being kind of my end.
9:55
[SPEAKER_01]: It has not been good, so you do have the question for Ben.
10:02
[SPEAKER_01]: ultimately how he's going to turn this around, right?
10:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there an instance where in Detroit, obviously he was the brainchild of the offense as a whole, but, you know, how much of it was some of the other staff by chance, you know, throwing their, their hats in the ring, their knowledge for the run game, you know, a lot of times an offense is the off of the line coach, so in this case it's in Detroit tank freely, which we know the bears were trying to hire, but they just couldn't get
10:31
[SPEAKER_01]: uh to their to their off because he ended up getting because he's runging coordinator and off at the line coach with a line so he ended while staying there.
10:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this something that ultimately then can turn around himself right can he do some of the natural it seems affinity of the the past game and can he channel that into the design of the run game and can the bear's off at the line coach right I mean at the end of the day he's a part of that can he help with the scheme that's just the scheme but the technique that's needed as
11:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's something to keep an eye on going forward because if it is, the line problem has been kind of alluding to, you know, with Braxon Bench at this point and you have a rookie and, you know, an undirected free agent who was a rookie last year in there, that all matters, but you should have seen improvement coming up.
11:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And especially to continue like this, the commanders, they're not slobbishes in the ranking, but they're not stellar either.
11:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So the same thing on the, I'll, Steve had to line to them, excuse me.
11:30
[SPEAKER_01]: The defense alignment don't penetrate quite as much as you'd like to see them.
11:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have a dude like the raiders did, you know, Von Miller's there, but he's a shadow of his former self.
11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, it's a lot effort, you know, don't don't want to arms strong.
11:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it was a sack later.
11:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I have that little bit later for it for a point, but.
11:47
[SPEAKER_01]: just another interesting thing.
11:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Last thing that we're going to talk about in this chart review, some of the trade talk that has been going around to the bearers universe.
11:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So the two main positions, and this is no secret to anybody, but Ed J and Ryan back, are areas of need.
12:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now for the bears, we just talked about running back and why that's the case.
12:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Ed is another one.
12:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Brian Burring on the Giants has more sacs than the bearers' entire unit does.
12:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's no secret.
12:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So a couple of names that have popped up of one, first one, Tray Hendricks and the bangles are not doing well.
12:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They're still trying, right?
12:22
[SPEAKER_01]: They just treated for Joe Flacco.
12:24
[SPEAKER_01]: This next week might be tough playing the Packers, but they actually have it relatively favorable or doable schedule if you just can have a competent quarterback in there.
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They're off of line still, it's horrendous, but so I don't know what.
12:36
[SPEAKER_01]: how Joel managed that, but I do think it'll be better than Browning to the games that they have coming up in the next five games is going to be against the Steelers who are actually in first and the Bengals are in second, they're two and three.
12:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the sake of argument,
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: they even split, if not sweep the steelers, if they get a couple more wins, steel, a couple wins here and there, then a trade interest in trade is less likely.
13:02
[SPEAKER_01]: He recently restrictions contract to earn $30 million for $2,000-25 a season.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: The adjustment quality prolongs contract just for you to people know culminating at $14 million a raise for the upcoming season.
13:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So the bangles still are all in.
13:16
[SPEAKER_01]: They paid for Joe Barrow, they paid Jamar Chase, they paid tea higgins,
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They've tried to fix this offensive line ish I mean they tried yet the effort was there.
13:24
[SPEAKER_01]: It just has not good and they've kind of ignored the defense say we know that defense is not good and trades the only piece on that defense.
13:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, if they can stack a couple wins here, they wouldn't move tray, but if they fall to a point where even if Joe Burrow can return December it's looking like, you know, it's a lost cause then yes, train my game mode.
13:46
[SPEAKER_01]: The other name popping up is Jeffrey Simmons of the Tennessee Titans.
13:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Defense of tackle signed four year, $94 million contract extension in April of 2023.
13:54
[SPEAKER_01]: This includes a $66 million care tease and $24 million our signing bonus.
13:59
[SPEAKER_01]: This extension would keep him on kept tips to excuse me under contractory, $227.
14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a very team friendly deal, which is both good and bad.
14:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So it makes it easier to absorb them potentially some other deals that are out there, but at the same time,
14:13
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, because it's team friendly, you're going to pay for that.
14:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Some recent trades that have gone through, the LA Rams traded to, and this is just in general defense.
14:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We know the Micaparsons won.
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's a tough one to compare to just because of the negativity that was there between Dallas and the Micah along with his standing.
14:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, just as a top,
14:38
[SPEAKER_01]: top three pass rusher in terms of how much they got for him but it seemed relatively cheap defensively the L.A.
14:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Rams traded two second first round picks, excuse me, in a fourth round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a different spend jailing.
14:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry for quarterback J.L.
14:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Ramsy and Joe's 19 and that this is another comparison point.
15:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So it would be expensive.
15:03
[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing is that you have to absorb Simmons's substantial contracts.
15:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So while it's team friendly, it still has a healthy drug exchange.
15:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So that includes a base salary of 17.5 million in 2025, and that escalates in subsequent years.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to match that salary.
15:17
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the ways you would do it probably is DJ Moore.
15:23
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to look at areas that wouldn't weaken the bears.
15:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So why does he have his probably one of the few with the emergence of Roman doing Zay with who you're hoping for continued emergence of Luther Burtin and Colson Love, just in general past gotchers for you.
15:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And the monk is at the money has to match.
15:38
[SPEAKER_01]: It has to also be something that would make sense for Tennessee.
15:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So
15:42
[SPEAKER_01]: People probably want to throw Montess sweat as a name out there.
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, he's not lived up to that's that contract he received the compensation giving up a second for him.
15:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's move hit on from him, but why would the Titans do that?
15:56
[SPEAKER_01]: The now the contracts are a bit different there, so that might be a reason.
16:00
[SPEAKER_01]: But you would be potential more likely to say D. J. Moore because you're giving Camorred your shiny new quarterback a
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: receiver hopefully to help him along the way.
16:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean TJ's that was the idea to bring DJ here previously right as a part of that trade to help Justin along the way and then ultimately Caleb.
16:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah you have to match right so that'll be the top part plus you do have the dirt and give a draft fix.
16:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it'd be that it's the same maybe amount as what Jalen Ramsey went for or even what Mike did but it's probably going to be at least a first.
16:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Lastly, running back, sorry, Breeze Hall's the name that's flowing around the most just because the gesture terrible they have no one to gain yet and overall it'd be a pretty he's had full some comments right he says that he hasn't had an opportunity to show what he can do in this league and he'd like that opportunity that's pretty much a trade me flag
16:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Dreads are in Rebuild mode, so his contract is pretty palatable, he has a total contract value, 9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
17:17
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to go up or edge end of that spectrum, Christian calf retreat, the 49ers got a recovery from the Panthers for a second, third and fourth round pick, in 2023 plus a fifth round pick in 2024.
17:29
[SPEAKER_01]: the commanders this year since Brian Robinson to the 49ers in the Jaguar is trading trying to take bigs lead to the Eagles in August, September 2025, respectively.
17:38
[SPEAKER_01]: The 49ers acquired Robinson for in 2026 sixth round pick to add depth behind Christian Caffrey, while the Eagles acquired Bigs lead from the Jaguar is for 826 fifth and six rounds swam.
17:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So in to breeze likely goes for, I can see I'm going for a force, you know,
17:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So that would be much more palatable from a draft pick, but also in terms of you could just monetarily make that work very easily.
18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see you though.
18:04
[SPEAKER_01]: The various have consistently, it seems like shown.
18:08
[SPEAKER_01]: For the most part, they're happy with the running back room.
18:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's no secret.
18:12
[SPEAKER_01]: They were trying to draft their running back if this last draft.
18:15
[SPEAKER_01]: They got snipes, but for Trader, I'm Henderson.
18:18
[SPEAKER_01]: They got snipes for Camp Scadaboo.
18:20
[SPEAKER_01]: We're coming off the Awakening of Camp Scadaboo, 21 Touch.
18:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was 110 yard three touchdown performance and just being a wild man during the game after the game.
18:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And it just never really lined up during the draft and they clearly want to improve it to an extent.
18:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they brought a compliment on guy.
18:38
[SPEAKER_01]: But you also haven't, they haven't been doing a lot on you anyway else, right?
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: There's been players available that were cut on practice squads.
18:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Rochon Johnson's been active, but he just hasn't played, besides special teams.
18:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So they haven't really been showing, man, we feel really, really need to shake this up.
19:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
19:04
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see, is the long way to put it.
19:07
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, what I put it, excuse me.
19:09
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're going to do something, a pick, getting a getting grease, and you're in it at that case, you're hoping you can work out a deal that's team friendly, would be the most like this scenario if they were going to try to hit the running backs and improve that position.
19:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So we've got a proposed actual picture.
19:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm turning around up.
19:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Very different, actually, I was expecting to come on here and have a very dire conversation potentially, just because of
19:48
[SPEAKER_01]: what it looks like on Thursday, there's like a lot is very long and a lot of digging in peas, but it's actually a bit better.
19:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So the only person who has did not participate for two straight days here was Gary Jair with that knee.
20:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It has very quickly moved from we're just managing this to is that knee just gone.
20:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I say that, you know, we're not talking like some hidden legament issue or something like that, but, you know,
20:17
[SPEAKER_01]: When you're the greatest age, when you had a previous ACL injury, the way that he did, rehabbing from that's tougher.
20:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And at the end of the day, then you're dealing with things like, potentially, you know, pretend in pain, you're dealing with, quad-tend in pain, you're dealing with potential in this case issues, inflammation, you know, is the quad-concentric production enough is the hamstring, e-centric production enough to control that tibia,
20:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And he needs to generate power, right, as a defense alignment, you need power, and then he has to be able to make the small change of directions with the stable knee and clearly if that has not been the case, the fact that he's coming off of a buy can't go is is not great for him.
20:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would not expect him to be a go in this game.
21:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of the limited ones, so we have Collegorn, Colson Lovelin, Darn Alright.
21:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't know right when from DMP to limited, so he has a shot to play on Monday.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what the Saturday injury report holds.
21:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But the fact that he missed as much time as he did, I think it's been two things.
21:20
[SPEAKER_01]: One, the Baratets had some comfort.
21:22
[SPEAKER_01]: throwing up at it out there right tackle and at the same time that right elbow was something something happened there, something funky, you know, they didn't really release exactly what went on, but you could be looking at things like in terms of the fact that he's back to, so the rules out so crazy crazy stuff, but you could have had a dislocation there, you could have had
21:43
[SPEAKER_01]: a grade one or two tear of, you know, like the extensor-carby group, La Radeale, or Longest Reprevis, that he's been rehabbing back, you know, just a couple of examples of things, but, you know, I clearly didn't want to break, there wasn't a full-out rupture of things of that in nature, so he has a chance.
22:01
[SPEAKER_01]: The other ones, I mean, Calagorni is playing, I can say that for, for fact, Colson Loveland is playing.
22:08
[SPEAKER_01]: which are great, Austin and the other ones, some full participants.
22:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So you were worried about Japan Briskar.
22:13
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a DMP, he was a full.
22:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I never was worried about him.
22:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you should be.
22:17
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just something that popped up over the by.
22:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Something that acted.
22:21
[SPEAKER_01]: He left he played up the Raider game, was fine.
22:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were like, oh, this is still there.
22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's give you the day.
22:26
[SPEAKER_01]: and it's awesome.
22:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome book or should be back.
22:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Now this is what how much is he?
22:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he just a little spark or is it a massive jump?
22:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And I say that because I mean he led the league in sex during the preseason.
22:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's preseason, so take that with the green assault.
22:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But
22:42
[SPEAKER_01]: The bears need something, man.
22:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, look at their set.
22:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I have a stat later that we'll dive into this, but it has nothing good that the bear's house rush and at this point anything is a massive improvement.
22:54
[SPEAKER_01]: TJ Edwards will be back from that hamstring.
22:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Travis Homer, he will also be back.
23:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, he's never been a stalwart at the running position, but
23:03
[SPEAKER_01]: gives you an option, and especially on third down, that's someone you could throw out there potentially.
23:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was a bit scary for a little bit too, because common none guy was a DMP, also with a five issue, but he was full, should be fine good to go, but can Homer sneak in to the rotation a little bit, since it seems like the bears are just refused to want to put a rose shun in there.
23:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And because you need a little something, in this run game,
23:27
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... join jackson that was just management he was full and then the one that's kind of interesting was chiro that was kind of unaware he had a right by injury but he's been full of the last couple game but practice to use me obviously for kicker it's a little different fully participating practice versus some of the other positions but i do want to take a moment to have a conversation about chiro centos so chiro has twenty three career fifty are feels uh... he does not have the strongest like this is not it
23:56
[SPEAKER_01]: secrets to anybody.
23:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I think anyone listening live right now or listening on the podcast, you, there's a plenty of a plenty of individuals who have called for him to lose his job for that reason because he doesn't have the strongest leg in the world and that's a problem.
24:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I do want to highlight though, he connected from 52 and 51 yards against the Raiders during a four field global performance in 89 career games with the bears, Cairo's 50 plus field goal total has tied
24:25
[SPEAKER_01]: and Santos has connected on 74.2% of his attempts from 50 yards a longer.
24:31
[SPEAKER_01]: If Cairo was wouldn't have been able to go, you now have Jake Moody up, because he was signed to the various pride squad after the 49-inch cut him.
24:41
[SPEAKER_01]: His career accuracy is 74.2% from any range and 50% from 50 yards a longer.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
24:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a little bit of careful what you wish for when it comes to the chiro situation.
24:56
[SPEAKER_01]: What I like someone that can be, especially with what's going on, you look at what Aubrey's doing out in Dallas, what he can do.
25:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he can kick it almost as soon as he walks on a locker room kind of thing.
25:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, the fact that Jake is a 50% from 50.
25:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, like I said, Chiro is 74.2.
25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jake's overall accuracy, 74.2.
25:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's including extra points.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's been fun.
25:20
[SPEAKER_01]: You just don't want to enter the kicking carousel again.
25:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, do people remember Casey Benton-Narsky getting kicks through the bears and that kicking carousel that went on?
25:31
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that was the Eddie Piniero summer where they treated for Eddie, but all took his not here.
25:35
[SPEAKER_01]: He's now kicking for another team.
25:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you could say what you want about that.
25:40
[SPEAKER_01]: The carousel stabilized the position.
25:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you know, it's been a couple years, so as any player ages, you have to reassess and see what's going on there.
25:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Just take a breath is what I'm saying.
25:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you like that position solidified?
25:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
25:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Is week six middle of the year the time to do it?
26:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not.
26:03
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, move on to the commanders.
26:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Commanders for the most parts, there's some interesting things in there.
26:11
[SPEAKER_01]: They have not released their Friday one yet, which is crazy.
26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It's 530, get your stuff out there.
26:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So really, we're just going to be reacting to Thursdays.
26:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll probably end up tweeting something out tomorrow as stuff comes out more.
26:23
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, a couple of guys limited,
26:32
[SPEAKER_01]: John Bates, no Brown, they should go Jason Cosmy, that's a big one for them being back in their lineup as a full participantist huge.
26:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Shane was also full, oh, here we go.
26:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so you're not gonna see them screen for watching life, but I was able to pull up their injury or port the updated it on their website, just not with the bearish one.
26:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll get to that, I'll, you in a second.
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, here we go.
26:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Jane was full again, caused me to fall again, like I said, great.
26:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Bates is full now.
27:00
[SPEAKER_01]: The two to highlight, oh, Debo Samuel, who did not participate previously, it was a weird rest heel combo.
27:06
[SPEAKER_01]: He was limited today.
27:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I would expect him to be limited tomorrow, probably, if not full and for him to play.
27:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So, expect Debo Samuel.
27:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Chris Rodriguez and Terry McLaren both did not participate.
27:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Terry's not playing.
27:19
[SPEAKER_01]: If he played, I would be blown away.
27:21
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be crazy.
27:23
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, they've been able to survive with just Debo.
27:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the Jane Jane was a conversation of it all.
27:30
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, Fridays injury report for them was an estimated one based on a walk through.
27:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So, take this with a grant of salt.
27:37
[SPEAKER_01]: The Jane Jane's conversation, I don't think you should have played last week.
27:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he'd be one, he played P played well, but you could just tell in some of the videos that they did have before the game, when I went back, when they were able to watch the game afterwards, you could just tell that that knee was not right,
27:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think, you know, I'm not saying it's gonna be this week.
27:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying it's gonna be next week.
27:58
[SPEAKER_01]: But...
28:00
[SPEAKER_01]: there's something going on right now with that need that he's not a hundred percent now what football player is but it shouldn't be in my opinion is obvious that he's a bit hampered as it is especially when his game is so important in his ability to scramble I mean not just that he's a scrambleer he is an elite scrambleer he's an an that's the interesting vating sorry evading the past rush one thing he could be a better better it is evading and then looking down field for throats I think usually if he's
28:29
[SPEAKER_01]: to get down field, but with this knee now, right?
28:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's doing that quite as much.
28:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I see that in the stats, but if you take away that super power of being in a lead scramble or whether that's by choice to, to help try to not have the knee be, or aggravated or re-injured, or if it's by necessity because it can't, that's a huge issue.
28:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So keep an eye on that.
28:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Just not again, I'm even at this week, maybe not next week, but if he ended up popping up on the injury reporting in the next couple weeks, that wouldn't surprise me.
29:04
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, we have a brief break here and they're going to get back to some of the rest of our categories.
29:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Proper gut health is instrumental to athletic performance and recovery.
29:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Our gut is in essence a second brain and health researchers are continually uncovering new benefits of probiotics, scientifically connecting the dots between gut health, reduced inflammation, and stronger immunity.
29:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Combuchate is a tasty, clean, label, functional option to easily add probiotics into any athletes routine.
29:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We call it, balancing your brains.
29:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Computiate is a premium performance-focused kombucha crafted specifically for athletes and active individuals.
29:53
[SPEAKER_01]: This revitalizing beverage blends the traditional benefits of kombucha, the nutritional enhancements to support energy, hydration, and recovery.
30:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Made from organic teas and infused with natural electrolytes, kombuchaed offers it delicious and effective solution to maintain peak performance.
30:06
[SPEAKER_01]: better athletic performance, increase nutrient absorption, improve wellness, and improve cognitive stamina.
30:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Use code, bear gut check, B-E-A-R-G-U-T-C-H-E-C-K for 15% off your order.
30:21
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, knee, jerk, reaction.
30:27
[SPEAKER_01]: My knee jerk reaction, so one hot take going into this week is that the bears passcutures have a chance to eat this week, particularly the rookie's burden
30:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Three week five, commanders rank right in the middle at 16th in terms of defense of EPA per drop-back point one, too.
30:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So that part, you can get them, right?
30:46
[SPEAKER_01]: They haven't been terrible, they haven't been great.
30:49
[SPEAKER_01]: But the part that I find interesting is they play a lot of zone cover three at 26%, but also play man cover one at a 27% clip.
31:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, one of the things that people have pointed to that have dampened, not negated, but dampened passing in the last couple of years is the increase in comfort too.
31:10
[SPEAKER_01]: That's also changed the kind of, in my opinion, receivers that have really been able to take over the league of recent years.
31:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you can look at the guys right now who are top of the league, and EPA per play, and or DVOA, and all those advanced stats, and even some of the traditional ones like top five
31:29
[SPEAKER_01]: the juxtapet, the jigsaw, almond-raw-same brown, I mean even a mecca kubba, a kubba, excuse me, all these guys who are willing to play out slot have been increasing a bit and playing more outside, but are willing to go over the middle, you know, and that's important just because of what cover two does.
31:46
[SPEAKER_01]: But back to this, the commanders do again, they play a lot of men, 27% cover one, just even just that one specifically.
31:54
[SPEAKER_01]: and that means that there's a chance for runaway routes.
31:56
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're not able to press, if you're not able to change the line, if you're not able to keep up with these or past cultures, it'll be a problem.
32:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's going to open up things specifically for for all the past cultures.
32:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, teaching more can do that.
32:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Rome is getting better at that.
32:12
[SPEAKER_01]: All in the days, the key is fantastic at that.
32:15
[SPEAKER_01]: But I highlighted Lovelin in burdens specifically just because they are tough matchups.
32:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Bird and Missy fast, quick guy, who's derated for throwing away routes, and Cole's in Lovelins, is can be a match of nightmare.
32:26
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why at least what we're hoping for.
32:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we saw that at Michigan, we have not seen that yet at the NFL level.
32:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now, Tyler Warren is getting all the flowers.
32:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Justly so, Tyler Warren's doing some really fun stuff from the internet and Apple is still giving you off.
32:38
[SPEAKER_01]: But it is very different situations.
32:42
[SPEAKER_01]: crowning of war and in the worry of love land is too early at this point just for that's for another day but I think in this game 12 person should be very important in part of that is the matchups you get so if you play 12 person out of the commander's matchup team let's say it's in base which they actually do is surprising out of fray galugu
33:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Really, is a great, is a great law of blind or solid blind beggar.
33:09
[SPEAKER_01]: But Bobby Wagner just cannot cover any more.
33:11
[SPEAKER_01]: He has to play downhill.
33:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you're going to roll out with both of those guys, as your primary linebackers who are the covering.
33:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have one on Cole, command, you have one on Lovelin, one with a matching, you're going to put Franklin Louvre on Lovelin.
33:23
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you can create with motion and mismatches, can you get Lovelins on Bobby Wagner?
33:28
[SPEAKER_01]: even if you have Bobby Wagner on Cole Comet, call out a really weak and weak, I guess the Raiders in Week 4.
33:34
[SPEAKER_01]: This is so it could be a week that he gets some redemption.
33:37
[SPEAKER_01]: But that was from, he had that drop pass from what was looking like a touchdown drive.
33:42
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a ton of penalties.
33:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So one would look, expect he's like looking for some redemption in there.
33:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you could also have for the commanders Mike Saner still think that he's the primary and nickel corn back.
33:54
[SPEAKER_01]: He has played a hundred and ninety two snaps in this slot through week through week five leading until week six here.
34:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, he's a solid nickel, but it just depends on how they want to match everything.
34:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you decide you want to put Saner still on lovelins for the sake of argument.
34:12
[SPEAKER_01]: You know now all of a sudden your other slot receivers can you burden on you know burden in motion you got our him out of a slot to key as like I mentioned that would be another other example there and just the chest match of moving these guys around so now I do think there's a really good chance of moving the ball through the air.
34:31
[SPEAKER_01]: To be a perfectly honest, something just brutally honest.
34:34
[SPEAKER_01]: This isn't surprising to anybody, but it's Patrick sucks.
34:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Through four games, there's our 32nd and QB pressure present.
34:40
[SPEAKER_01]: 31st in average time to pressure at 2.97 seconds.
34:44
[SPEAKER_01]: 31st in rushing yards before context per attempt at 2.24.
34:49
[SPEAKER_01]: 2.24 yards before you get touched as a running back wild.
34:54
[SPEAKER_01]: 29th in PFF run defense grade and 22nds in past rush grade.
35:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, and then I'll, and then I'll continue later, um, a bit of a conversation about, oh, no, that's on the right game.
35:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So in terms of the past rush, you're hoping Awesome Booker gives you a little something here, but all the other improvement at this point, unless you do a make a trade for a jeffry salmon type, it's got to be, it's got to be from within, it's got to be, it's an effort thing, um, I mean, you're in also, I think bringing Awesome Booker in,
35:29
[SPEAKER_01]: will help even indirectly be the other guys.
35:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if you look at it, Montez went and looked at it on a day, but they're two very similar players in terms of just who they are built.
35:37
[SPEAKER_01]: They're larger individuals.
35:38
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to beat you with speed.
35:40
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to play that speed to power game.
35:45
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you can bring an awesome book around who's more of a speed guy, he's smaller.
35:48
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't fit the traditional dance talent role, right?
35:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you get a little more...
35:53
[SPEAKER_01]: quicker penetration on the one side that even draws attention, right?
35:57
[SPEAKER_01]: That draws attention away from some of your interior guys, so that Gervande extra can get up field so that, you know, some of your other guys, so that if there is help to you might send it the other way, it's, I don't think it's gonna be game changer, but I mean, you got a, you can't be 30, second, 31st, 20 set around these categories.
36:15
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to get higher.
36:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So Dante, how are you doing?
36:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, well, ain't the humorous, something quirky you're funny.
36:28
[SPEAKER_01]: According to friend of the podcast, uh, Quincy and Chris go at Bucket Stats.
36:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Finally, if you're not following him, you absolutely should be.
36:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He does fantastic stuff.
36:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I love his.
36:37
[SPEAKER_01]: host bears game reviews.
36:40
[SPEAKER_01]: He does it on on tap sports.
36:41
[SPEAKER_01]: He breaks down the film in a world where there's not a lot of good offensive line knowledge out there.
36:49
[SPEAKER_01]: What he does along with his podcast co-hosts is one of the best out there besides you know guys like Brandon Doran.
36:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So go ahead follow him at Buckestads.
36:59
[SPEAKER_01]: But he tweeted out this the show this week.
37:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Bears defensive rankings by down through week five.
37:04
[SPEAKER_01]: First down, EPA per play, 30 seconds, success rate, 30 second.
37:11
[SPEAKER_01]: 30 second, I just wanted to pause to let that sink in for a second there.
37:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not good.
37:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Second down, EPA per play, 21st, success rate 27th.
37:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Third down, EPA per play, first, success rate seconds.
37:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So it makes sense to an extent, him and I had a little conversation about this, because Dennis Allen is all about can we get you to disadvantage, just third downs and get after you, and third downs your money down.
37:38
[SPEAKER_01]: If you can get off the field on third down, fantastic, that's exactly what you're looking for.
37:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're not necessarily expecting them to do a massive jump, but if you can get from 30 seconds in the league
37:53
[SPEAKER_01]: 25th, 20 second, something in that area.
37:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the sun, you are in a little more of an advantage position on second down on third down and just making it so that's a little tougher.
38:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think a big part of that, because I had originally asked him was that just the run game.
38:08
[SPEAKER_01]: We know the run, the various run deep, hence it's not been very good.
38:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he highlighted a stat where it was with the past and the run.
38:14
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you could stop at least one of them, if a team just feels like, all right, we can't just run the ball and you can get six yards on first down.
38:23
[SPEAKER_01]: That will go a long way and how do you do that?
38:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the whole conversation, but which we'll get to later.
38:29
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, another break here and then we're going to be back.
38:38
[SPEAKER_01]: We have merch.
38:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I am not wearing any of it today actually.
38:42
[SPEAKER_01]: This is from the Hastram Dragons milk.
38:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's actually really cool if you guys have no one's been there.
38:47
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a couple of cases that they have, but up in Holland, Michigan, and even in Grand Rapids.
38:51
[SPEAKER_01]: They have, it's really cool.
38:53
[SPEAKER_01]: They make their own bourbons and stuff as well.
38:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is from the Lion King.
38:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not wearing our merch today.
38:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a bad plugger, but I just want, I was feeling cold and I like my little lion ears.
39:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel very, very cool in these.
39:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wanted to wear that today.
39:07
[SPEAKER_01]: But our merch is also very cool, even if I don't have it on.
39:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to throw up on the screen.
39:17
[SPEAKER_01]: watching live right now scan the QR code it'll bring you right to the merch shop if you're well listening.
39:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll read all go ahead over to the show at about 39 minutes or so as what is what I'm seeing this is where I'm throwing and throughout the code so you can go it'll bring you directly there.
39:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, you can go to second-df city-gridiron-shop.forthwall.com to stack some of your second-city grid iron gear.
39:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It really helps us out because one, it makes it so that we can do more for you.
39:46
[SPEAKER_01]: We'd like to do more life shows.
39:48
[SPEAKER_01]: We'd like to do, especially around the draft.
39:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we did Danny and I did that a couple of years ago.
39:51
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very fun.
39:52
[SPEAKER_01]: We got some
39:57
[SPEAKER_01]: and just to be a part more so of this bear's community.
40:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So go ahead and also just wrap the shows, the more that you wear shirt, wear a hat, drink from a mug, get up, your glass, it doesn't matter what's on there with some of our stuff on there, people here about us.
40:14
[SPEAKER_01]: On that note, if you can, I hate doing this, but like, subscribe, comments, it helps us in the algorithm, so more bears fans can find us.
40:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, and that was the end of our
40:28
[SPEAKER_01]: What you need to know, the Bears Commander's matchup has been played 54 times, seven postseason games, with the Bears winning 25 games and the Commanders winning 28 games.
40:39
[SPEAKER_01]: They have also tied one time.
40:40
[SPEAKER_01]: The last matchup was last year, where both offensive really struggled with the Commanders pull off an 18 to 15 win off the failed Mary.
40:49
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the fourth game out of five years played at Washington.
40:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Fun little cork there.
40:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what at the case, what at the case you'd have to ask the NFL schedule makers, but playing four out of five games in Washington is odd to me.
41:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's very slanted.
41:03
[SPEAKER_01]: A couple other stats just about this match up Monday night, 815, the first part of the double header that'll have any Monday night.
41:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Bears have allowed the eighth most rushing yards, 23.3 yards,
41:15
[SPEAKER_01]: to ensure the per game in the most rushing hours 140.8 hours per game.
41:19
[SPEAKER_01]: to running backs.
41:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Bears are allowed second most receiving touchdowns, three to running backs.
41:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Bears have allowed the six most targets, 8.25 per game, and the second most receptions, 7.25 to tight ends.
41:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Bears have allowed the fourth most passing touchdowns, 10 to quarterbacks, and the bears have has a second most interceptions, seven.
41:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a little silver lining cream.
41:39
[SPEAKER_01]: The commanders in the US and have allowed the seventh most rushing yards, our attempts to use me at 23.4 yards per game.
41:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Carey's for game to running backs commanders have allowed this out of the most reception yards to tight ends at 65.4 and going back to my Colson leveling little thing over there the commanders have allowed the ninth most passing yards 254 per game to quarterbacks They also the commanders has the fourth most sacks at three per game Really and the commanders allow the ninth most rushing yards 28.8 to quarterbacks.
42:12
[SPEAKER_01]: So It's gonna be a very
42:16
[SPEAKER_01]: interesting matchup as you can tell.
42:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Snoop Vaughn poop in the chat happy Friday my guy happy Friday to you Snoop.
42:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for popping in, you know, glad you're here.
42:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, glad that you're enjoying the merch.
42:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate you wearing it on all the shows that you're wearing it on.
42:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Snoop is where, hey, Snoop, it got his hat.
42:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he wanted to give away, but he got his hat and he's loving it.
42:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So you guys should too.
42:36
[SPEAKER_01]: A couple questions, I was going to ask Danny, whoever was going to be here, but we're so low.
42:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're just going to talk about it.
42:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So the bears are allowing 164.5 rushing yards per game.
42:50
[SPEAKER_01]: The Washington Commanders are averaging 156 rushing yards per game.
42:54
[SPEAKER_01]: This seems like a recipe for disaster.
42:56
[SPEAKER_01]: What can the bears do to flip the scripts?
42:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I think at the end of the day, it's about second-level stuff.
43:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about, well, it's about first-level your interior defenders taking on
43:09
[SPEAKER_01]: double teams and their blocks being a little more staunch at the point of attack, but then also it's about team tackling in space, you know, just emphasizing the need for technique improvement in terms of shedding blocks.
43:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So the opposite of what we talked about earlier with the bears and what Braxton wasn't doing getting to the second level, you know, same thing for the bears, my backers and safety and nickels.
43:30
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, can you shed blocks and get into the whole.
43:35
[SPEAKER_01]: They just have not been able to do that.
43:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the return of Gordon and words will be good.
43:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the return of Gordon is probably more important.
43:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And I say that not actually as even a disk to TJ Edwards, I think, you know, he's always, he's kind of mister, right?
43:49
[SPEAKER_01]: He's usually in the right place, even if he's lost a half step or so.
43:52
[SPEAKER_01]: But what's important is more so, I mean, Noah's soul was actually decent.
43:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Was he like all the worldly know, but at the same, but he did his job and he did fairly well versus what was happening at that nickel position.
44:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a stat last week.
44:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember of top my head, but I mean, it was basically like,
44:11
[SPEAKER_01]: You were allowing over a 100 pass rating at the nickel position and you just can't you can't do that.
44:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, and again, emphasizing tackling tackling technique block shedding from your second third level guys is going to be very, you got to meet you got to meet these guys in the whole.
44:29
[SPEAKER_01]: The second question I was going to have was, does Debo Samuel scare you?
44:34
[SPEAKER_01]: My answer was going to be, no, he doesn't scare me.
44:40
[SPEAKER_01]: jokingly, I've called him fat deba because he is a little on the chunk of your side.
44:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's in a million older side.
44:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to say in shape when he's has heard as he is, you know, he needed a day off for rest and a little bit of heel to put rest.
44:55
[SPEAKER_01]: This year, he has 30 catches on 38 targets, 300 yards of saving in three touchdowns.
44:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's nothing to scoff at.
45:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And you add in the 46 yards rushing in and it touched down there so he's got four touchdowns right now for the commanders.
45:06
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good, that is good.
45:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And you also ranked 7th in terms of cushion given by opposed and team.
45:12
[SPEAKER_01]: So teams to still are, it's anything's a combination.
45:15
[SPEAKER_01]: One team's are so wary of the speed.
45:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But also two, the way they use and move him, it creates space, even before true separation is created on the actual route.
45:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Emma, does he scare me?
45:29
[SPEAKER_01]: No, is it someone you have to still circle and identify and control?
45:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I know, but there's a difference.
45:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if he, I'd be more scared of him if Terry was out there because of the combination of the two.
45:43
[SPEAKER_01]: For Emma into the two, you know, there's all the guys out there, right?
45:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the bear's this here.
45:45
[SPEAKER_01]: They play Justin Jefferson.
45:47
[SPEAKER_01]: That guy scares me.
45:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be playing Jamar and Chase.
45:50
[SPEAKER_01]: That guy scares me.
45:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have said to Eric Henry, but my fantasy team knows right now he's not very scary and that's awful, but so yeah, I was saying no, worried, concerned, but not scared.
46:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, last one, the bears have 40 penalties this year, including six that were to climb.
46:12
[SPEAKER_01]: 26 of those interactions have been committed by the offense, including 11 priest netfiles.
46:18
[SPEAKER_01]: referee Alex Moore and his crew worked the Bears Commander's Game this Monday.
46:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Moore is in his first season's referee after spending three years as an umpire.
46:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Moore's crew leaves the NFL and penalty is through five weeks.
46:30
[SPEAKER_01]: 95 penalties total with another 22 holes made that were dismissed.
46:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So my question was, do the bears have a chance to stay ahead of the sticks?
46:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I will.
46:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say, no, with the thought of, I'm concerned.
46:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Donald, right, a couple of his penalties he's had or were verticalists, and there's a couple of blocks he had that were called holds, they were not holds, it's silly.
46:58
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, you still have to manage the ones that are, that are holds that are accurate.
47:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think having the elbow injury doesn't help you there.
47:11
[SPEAKER_01]: coming out of the buy, you'd imagine some of the pre-stapp ones are more cleaned up, so you're hoping that like there's one, I believe in the Raiders game where Roman into motion and he started running up fields, you know, so he had an illegal shift, you're hoping that's cleaned up.
47:27
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, I mean, if you have a crew that is actively looking for certain things, and you know, like I said, his first season as a referee, you might be just a little flag-happy.
47:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's gonna be very hard
47:40
[SPEAKER_01]: to stay ahead of the sticks in that way.
47:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have unfortunately think that this will still be a heavily penalized game for the bears.
47:52
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, love it.
47:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Hate it, rehabilitate it.
47:55
[SPEAKER_01]: This is something that I love.
47:57
[SPEAKER_01]: In terms of matchup, dynamic for the bears, one that I hate, and one that, if I are the coach, let me have a focus on.
48:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Love Ben Johnson offense versus Dan Quinn defense.
48:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, this is not, I think I've done this little model before, but this is not the lines, even though I'm a line today.
48:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Jared Goff is not a 99 quarterback in terms of his high completion percentage and efficiencies.
48:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and Rossine Brown is not a past catcher.
48:25
[SPEAKER_01]: The lines off with the lines aren't walking through that door and doors.
48:27
[SPEAKER_01]: They're tandem of excellent runnybacks.
48:30
[SPEAKER_01]: However, the brain that engineered 521 yards in the 45 to 31 to fish around playoff loss that manages last winter is here.
48:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Detroit outgained Washington by 40 yards and held a 30 to 27 advantage in terms of first downs, but they still lost.
48:47
[SPEAKER_01]: That was largely because of five turnovers, which the bears have been pretty good at avoiding.
48:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So I know I guess I just gave Jared off his flowers there, but he was a part of that, you know, and so is the rest of that line's team.
48:59
[SPEAKER_01]: In addition to that, I just wrote out that score of 45 to 31.
49:02
[SPEAKER_01]: The defense a lot for 45 points.
49:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the bear's defense has not been great by any means, but I think they can avoid giving up 45, against this commander's team.
49:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm confident in Ben Johnson being able to scheme up against Dan Quinn.
49:19
[SPEAKER_01]: The question ends up being, can the players avoid turnovers and can they execute?
49:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would say, yes, that I believe that they can based on what we've seen in the first four weeks of been playing.
49:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Hate.
49:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Bears pass rush versus the commander's off it's a line.
49:35
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm going to do your coat this.
49:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is leading the bears in sex?
49:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to pause here just in case anyone wanted to try to throw a name out into the chat.
49:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is leading the bears in sex?
49:50
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a five-way tie, with one.
49:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Montes-Wet, Dioding, Locke, Dremond, Dexter, Dominic, Gramson, and Tano, Cock, Pazganon.
49:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I've put you that I'm sorry, Tano, but you know, I tried.
50:02
[SPEAKER_01]: They all have one.
50:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And that goes back to what we talked about, when we talked about the whole awesome book or thing, can he just be a spark where whether it's him specifically getting more pressures, more quarterback hits, more sacks or if, because of what he brings attention is shifted in a way, or maybe that allows different stunts different games to be used because of the speed he does have, instead of some of the larger, obviously lumbering, it sounds bad, but lumbering ends that you have.
50:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that allow for more pressure, more sacks?
50:34
[SPEAKER_01]: In addition, the Convention Commanders are tied for 18th with 11 sacs allowed, but four of those sacs were the Packers, and we know what Michael Parsons can do just in terms of creating opportunities for others even if he isn't getting sacs, and three were the Giants, and the Giants, the Defense of Lyon, is just fantastic.
50:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I am concerned, ultimately, about the bear being able to generate a fast rush, and the letting Jaden just sit back there and not test his knee.
51:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I need them to test his knee.
51:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Last category, rehabilitate.
51:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I can't say the run game, right?
51:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the bears are averaging 102.3 rushing yards per game.
51:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Part of that was the ol' line.
51:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Braxton was Ben's student's inability to get to the second level before, but the running backs have not been helping.
51:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Gander Swift has totaled just 187 yards through four games.
51:21
[SPEAKER_01]: 3.3 yards per carry average coming in below.
51:24
[SPEAKER_01]: What was his previous career worst at 3.8 yours per carry from last season when he was with the Eagle.
51:29
[SPEAKER_01]: From last season, excuse me, the one after the Eagles.
51:32
[SPEAKER_01]: He ranks ninth worst in terms of rushing arts over expected per attempts.
51:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Better than last year, but still not good with negative 0.39.
51:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So every on average, every time he touches the ball, he is 0.39 yards below what it should be.
51:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that's helped, that was an explosive place.
51:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He does have those every once in a while in the run game, but it's the down to down ones that are killing it.
51:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I would expect them to do something different with this round game, whether that's my non-guy getting more carries, whether it's throwing Travis home or in there, something is going to be different.
52:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what they will decide to do, because some of the things that I thought were fairly obvious, they have not done, you know, like Drogrand Johnson apparently just doesn't exist except to make tackles on special teams, so we'll see.
52:25
[SPEAKER_01]: One bonus one, because I thought of this, and I think it's a really important past catchers on scramble drills, it's not what you'd want it to be.
52:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty, you learn this in middle school, you know, if you're running a deep route come back, you're running a short route, go deep, if you're in, go out, if you're out, go in, you know, there's all these different different teams that are different ones, but through the last, for the first four weeks that there's plain, you saw that,
52:50
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of times Caleb expected receivers, tight ends to be in a different position than they were on the scrambled drill.
52:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of that's on Caleb and I went to an extent too.
52:59
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like the one reception that he had in week three, along the side line, we're just kind of huffed it up.
53:06
[SPEAKER_01]: That was not a good throw.
53:08
[SPEAKER_01]: But then there's a couple times, like for example, in the Raiders game, he expected Cole to come down the stem a bit more down the sideline towards him and Cole didn't, and so Caleb couldn't get him at all.
53:19
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a couple examples of that.
53:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm hoping over this last,
53:24
[SPEAKER_01]: this by week.
53:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That was something that was discussed because the opportunities are there and Kiel was going to give you a chance.
53:30
[SPEAKER_01]: But the receivers, the past countries as a whole just have to be in the areas that they should be.
53:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Expected for the commanders.
53:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Establish the run.
53:41
[SPEAKER_01]: The bears team is not good at defending their own and the commanders have been pre-solid at it.
53:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, obviously, Jayden brings an elite and dangerous run element to the offense in three weeks.
53:48
[SPEAKER_01]: He had 124 rushing yards.
53:50
[SPEAKER_01]: that was, you know, leaving a little early in the end of game.
53:53
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, big bill cross-he married is no slouch.
53:56
[SPEAKER_01]: They felt good enough about him that they treated away Brian Robinson as I mentioned earlier in the podcast.
54:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He is averaging 6.6 years per carry and has four touchdowns.
54:05
[SPEAKER_01]: He writes first in the NFL, enriching Ernst overexpected, per attempt with 2.17.
54:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So, four yards are blocked.
54:12
[SPEAKER_01]: He's getting six.
54:13
[SPEAKER_01]: six-year-old blocks, he's getting in, et cetera, et cetera.
54:17
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fantastic.
54:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you were hoping for as a bear's fan to have, but the big bills doing it.
54:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they can keep, if they can turn on the ground and not in this half-year-old eye on Debo, as our main receiver had exact arts, didn't have a catch.
54:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe last week, which is odd, because I mean, that's the first time you didn't have a catch in a week, since like 2017 or something crazy like that.
54:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Expector for the theirs, create turnovers, they have nine on the year.
54:49
[SPEAKER_01]: which is third most, and that is with them being off last week.
54:53
[SPEAKER_01]: First was actually Jacksonville, 14, and the second is the Sealers with 10.
54:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're actually not too far off the number two spot.
54:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So they have to keep eating, creating those short fields.
55:03
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw against the Raiders, how necessary that was, because if the bears hadn't had the short fields, they probably wouldn't have gotten as many even fuels as they did, and that's a very different Raiders game.
55:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think the defense still has to be opportunistic in this game.
55:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we will not do overunders because that's just silly for me to just pick an over under and then say it myself since I made most of these up, but what we will do is to bear a gut check.
55:32
[SPEAKER_01]: This is where I use my gut feelings revitalized by kombucha, of course, go get your kombuchaed code bear a gut check 15% off to give our game predictions against the line.
55:40
[SPEAKER_01]: So my night football bears that commanders when I grabbed these commanders were minus
55:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna take the bears.
55:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that, first of all, the line was too big when it first opened at like five, five and a half.
55:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I get why the bears were coming off that raiders game, which didn't look great.
55:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Just because it was a sloppy game, but at the end of the day, I think if you watch the game, which,
56:05
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, don't do it again.
56:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't worry, I had to be watch it like two or three times.
56:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't do it.
56:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.
56:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You saw there was, I mean, the raiders were not a slouch team in that game.
56:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Gino was trying to give you the game there, but, uh, but it was a hard fought game.
56:23
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a well coached raiders team that was,
56:27
[SPEAKER_01]: sunk by more of a singular player than anything.
56:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, so if you're just looking from the outside, that looks bad.
56:34
[SPEAKER_01]: The commanders, you know, James back, they looked solid last week.
56:39
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going off of even what happened last year.
56:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes sense.
56:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that the bears are going to be able to move the ball in the air.
56:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the defense will play well enough.
56:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think
56:53
[SPEAKER_01]: What the lion's game was for the Detroit lines against the bears where I mean that was an emotional game that the lion sets sat there and said we are going to make a point and they just trounce the bears.
57:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that Ben Johnson, even though he wasn't here for the fail Mary, he knows.
57:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the entire league knows what happened that week.
57:16
[SPEAKER_01]: The league knows, I mean, that was a sort of the 10 games skid for the bears.
57:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He's in that locker room with those guys, and some of these players still talk about it.
57:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And Tyrek Stevens and certainly knows about him.
57:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He was on record saying that he knows he's gonna have to have a conversation with a son one day about that play.
57:34
[SPEAKER_01]: else in the other players, feel that too.
57:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is who are you as players?
57:39
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what this is.
57:40
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the, you know, are you here to make a statement game and Ben Johnson's a kind of coach, whether it's him from himself, whether he picked it up a little bit from Dan Campbell, well, I don't really care, but I think he's the kind of coach that can get that out of you.
57:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm taking the bears.
57:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be a little more high scoring than a lot of them previously.
57:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll
58:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Bengals at Packers, Packers are 14 point favorites here.
58:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think 14 is just a big number.
58:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that the Bengals trading for Joe Cool, sometimes just having the different quarterback there is enough Joe did beat the Bengals earlier this year, the one way in that he was able to muster as the Browns quarterback.
58:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to pick the Bengals to win, but I'll pick them to cover.
58:30
[SPEAKER_01]: There's my last work, my dying last words.
58:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Lines at Chiefs, Chiefs Fair by two and a half, even though, arguably, if you just asked 100 people right now, who's the best team in the NFL is, a lot of teams or players using probably would be fans, whatever, people you ask would say the lines.
58:52
[SPEAKER_01]: but they're picking their cheese.
58:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's at the cheese, at the cheese, so there's a little bit of the home bump here, so it's not essentially a pick-on, but I think that's a little disrespectful.
59:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know the cheese are good.
59:02
[SPEAKER_01]: They're better than people are making them out to be, they did just lose to the jaguars, but there's still a better team than pure break-mout to you, but there's, I think there's too much lies, disrespects.
59:12
[SPEAKER_01]: The lines are,
59:13
[SPEAKER_01]: They really haven't missed a beat.
59:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there was that for a week one issue against the packers, but ever since then, I mean, they've been on it.
59:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to pick the lines to cover and to win.
59:25
[SPEAKER_01]: The next pair's opponent is going to be the Saints.
59:29
[SPEAKER_01]: The Patriots are playing the Saints at New Orleans.
59:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Pages favored by three and a half, giving the Patriots.
59:34
[SPEAKER_01]: The Saints are not very good.
59:35
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's around what is better than I thought he was.
59:39
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's not saying much, because I didn't think almost anything else went to Rallyer.
59:43
[SPEAKER_01]: This Patriots team showed they can hang with in beats, the bills, who some of those hundred people, a bunch of them might have to say the bills, or the best team in the NFL right now.
59:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I just don't see how the Saints could pull this off in three and a half to low enough number two, where I would hop on that.
1:00:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the appointment after that, the bearers will be playing the Ravens.
1:00:04
[SPEAKER_01]: This week, the Rams are at the Ravens.
1:00:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Rams favored by seven and a half.
1:00:08
[SPEAKER_01]: As was expected all week, Lamar was ruled out, actually, to stay in my home curiosity, because a certain podcast host might have Kyle Hamilton in an IDP league.
1:00:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's important, who else is out for this team.
1:00:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Should it be Louisiana's and the does not participate in clean and not participating all the more Jackson was ruled out, roll comes Smith out as well, but it looks like Kyle Hamilton was a full participant, yay for my fantasy team, but they're still missing a lot of bodies and that team already was, they have a hard time stopping the run to, for whatever reason that defense has no teeth right now and without the more there, that offense is
1:00:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I pick this game because seven and a half is a weird number, but if I needed to, it'd be the ramps.
1:01:03
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, very, very last bit, and then we're going to get out of here, a coccyx and bull story.
1:01:08
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a plan, a cock and bull story, so a bull prediction.
1:01:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Defensively, Kyle Gordon gets a sack.
1:01:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he comes out.
1:01:18
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be pumped.
1:01:19
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be amps.
1:01:21
[SPEAKER_01]: A little birdie had told me that there was a chance he could have potentially gone a couple of weeks ago.
1:01:25
[SPEAKER_01]: It wouldn't have been, but they wanted to be safe for the buying coming up and make sure that this is not an issue for the rest of the year.
1:01:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think there's a lot of emotion.
1:01:36
[SPEAKER_01]: want to.
1:01:37
[SPEAKER_01]: That's being stored up right now.
1:01:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and that's the thing too.
1:01:40
[SPEAKER_01]: We just haven't gotten to see him.
1:01:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think seeing how Dennis Allen deploys him is going to be so interesting.
1:01:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Dennis Allen is just, he is a good defensive coach.
1:01:49
[SPEAKER_01]: He is.
1:01:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I know the run defense isn't just shown that, but he is a good defensive coach.
1:01:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I think you can use him as a bit of a chess piece.
1:01:56
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, speaking of Kyle Hamilton, kind of how he is, or if you want to talk about,
1:02:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Brian Branch over in Detroit, how he's used.
1:02:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I expect some interesting things with Kyle with geez, like someone's at Kyle House and with Kyle Gordon.
1:02:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Offensively bull prediction.
1:02:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Kyle and I, get some rushing touchdown.
1:02:27
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to have the ball inside the six, seven yards, then they're going to hand it to him, and he will actually gain the yards that are expected for him to be gained on like the Andre Swift.
1:02:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So those are my two pull predictions.
1:02:40
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, thanks everyone for who's your live for this special Friday episode of Bear Bones.
1:02:46
[SPEAKER_01]: This should be pretty much the same going forward in terms of consistency now on Thursdays.
1:02:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So keep an eye out for that.
1:02:53
[SPEAKER_01]: There's gonna be a couple here and there that I might just be doing solo because of falling on holidays.
1:02:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Like so for example, we won't do a show like.
1:03:02
[SPEAKER_01]: on Thanksgiving.
1:03:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I might pump something out like the day before or the day after kind of thing.
1:03:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Just so there's is some content for that for that week's game, same thing.
1:03:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I think for Christmas, like that falls on Thursday.
1:03:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a couple weird ones, but for the most part, there's days that normal five very time.
1:03:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Please, as we said, if you stuck around this long,
1:03:28
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, other platforms you're on, Facebook, you're on Twitter, head to YouTube, just give it a like, give it a comment, just say bare down, right, comment your score prediction.
1:03:38
[SPEAKER_01]: It helps us out a ton, right?
1:03:40
[SPEAKER_01]: The more likes, the more views that are on there to the comments, helps the algorithm, helps it so we can be in more homes.
1:03:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you one can say for bear's fans?
1:03:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And then all through that, let's do more stuff for y'all.
1:03:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to do more stuff for y'all.
1:03:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you have ideas, I love to hear it.
1:03:55
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have a company, you'd like to partner with and do a live show at your place, whether it's a bar, whether it's a restaurant, whether it's, you know, a shoe shop.
1:04:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really care.
1:04:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll do it anywhere.
1:04:05
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's how this sounds fun.
1:04:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Or, you know, giveaways.
1:04:09
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to get your name out here on the podcast, I'd love to partner with some of our fans.
1:04:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we got everyone from Super on poop really quickly.
1:04:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll take a touchdown from Kyle.
1:04:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go hashtag to bears.
1:04:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll take that too.
1:04:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to interact more with y'all, our listeners, because it sounds cheesy, but you're the backbone of this podcast, you're the backbone of Second City Great Iron, and we do this stuff for you.
1:04:33
[SPEAKER_01]: As fun as it is for me to do this, I do it because I know a lot of y'all want this content.
1:04:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So help us, help you.
1:04:38
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, everyone, bear down.
