Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_01]: Victory Formation has been formed, welcome to the Windy City podcast presented by a fan side.
- 0:06[SPEAKER_01]: That may right there is Alex Shapiro.
- 0:08[SPEAKER_01]: This person, who I am, is Kenneth Davis.
- 0:12[SPEAKER_01]: 31 to 23 in the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta, the Bears to feet the Falcons.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of ran away with it.
- 0:20[SPEAKER_01]: Falcons kind of came back with it.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_01]: They ran away and then they let them run back.
- 0:26[SPEAKER_01]: They let them run back and we'll get into how we feel about the Falcons coming back with the bear starters taking a seat knowing that the bears have a short week due to the fact that they have a Thursday night game this week.
- 0:38[SPEAKER_01]: So we're not, I'm not.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_01]: I'll find out how Alex feel.
- 0:41[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to blast Ben Johnson for that.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_01]: If you can get those guys out,
- 0:45[SPEAKER_01]: get them out.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Michael Pinnick Jr. is no slouch.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_01]: The offensive playmakers of the Falcons are some of the better offensive playmakers that you have in the league.
- 0:54[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Calpitz, we weren't even like I get Calpitz the guy that you should get more out of.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you hear Tom Brady talking about that.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_01]: He's not a choppy guy.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_01]: He's just an inline.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's just a streamline guy.
- 1:06[SPEAKER_01]: Calpitz got got them back into the game alone with Drake London along with Branch who basically gave
- 1:13[SPEAKER_01]: Seriously, game ball design branch and uh we have a we had a 16 snap site and by somebody that totally flipped the game I'm gonna the first time I saw them.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_01]: That was like hold up Is that what I think it is?
- 1:26[SPEAKER_01]: No, but six.
- 1:27[SPEAKER_00]: I said no, but six That's Kyle a Gordon out there, right?
- 1:31[SPEAKER_01]: Kyle a Gordon who'll definitely probably receive a game on
- 1:34[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Alex, you all thought starting off from the top of the Bears victory.
- 1:39[SPEAKER_01]: We said that this would no longer be a trap game by the buking the Packers put on the Bears last week.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_01]: Bears super QB, Caleb Williams, return, Caleb was sturdy of 36 for 305 yards, is 6 300 yard game of his career and average of 8.5, one-tuddy, sack four times and two of those are probably on Caleb.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: a QBR 51.9 and a rating of 111.2 on the other side, micropinics, 19 to 33, 225 yards, average 6.8, 3 TDs, five sacks, three of those by Kyla Gordon, a home 29.5, QBR, QBR, I mean, a rating of 108.8, your thoughts on the quarterback play this Sunday down in
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: just a big sigh relief what I get right game for the Chicago Bears after an absolute stinker against the packers.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb Williams was unbelievable.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, there are a couple sacks.
- 2:37[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he shouldn't take yes to me.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_00]: That is nitpicking because what he did extending plays was magical, right?
- 2:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like I would rather for all the people who say,
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb Williams hold down to the ball too long like yes in certain cases you're right, but today I think it was the perfect blend of Caleb Williams getting the ball out on time in rhythm Caleb Williams making the right decision whether it is just hit in the first read or going through his reads quickly and then getting down to the check down I think he did a very nice job of that.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_00]: or hey, this is an opportunity for me to extend the play.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: Let me run around and then find a guy who's open.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the road to Colston, Lovelin.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_00]: That first touchdown is just ludicrous.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_00]: And it was a tone center in my opinion.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the fact that he's able to extend
- 3:29[SPEAKER_00]: run around, though, crossbody, crossfield, tight window touched down to kind of ignite a guy who has not done much this season in Colson, Loveland.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's just unbelievable stuff, unbelievable stuff.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: So the completion percentage way above the 70% completion rating benchmark, the throws and the decision-making.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_00]: I thought were top notch.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you can just see this offense, this offense looks like what this offense is supposed to look like when Caleb Williams is running the show and I know case keynum did a very good job in his one start.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not counting that fake start he has where Tyson Bayesian actually played the game Tyson Bayesian had one Serviceable start even though he made some mistakes and then one really bad start.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_00]: And in that time it was like, okay, yeah, the bear's offense did kind of what I needed to do for the most part, but but again, this was like, oh, this is what this offense is supposed to look like so the sacks like to me, that is such a little asterisk such a little footnote to me, it's just in a, you know, if not a plus game from Caleb Williams, who I thought was to append us.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this agree.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_01]: So one, my notes, I have Caleb look real good and precise.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_01]: He'll go into the ball too long, dumb sacks.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: It's how he's getting sacked.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_01]: This is Darious Smith sack, it looked nasty.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_01]: He cannot get drugged down to the ground like there's no reason.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_01]: And I know probably three of these sacks or two were covered sacks and I wrote that down before it was coming and all by Tom Brady.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_01]: um, but even in that, just throw the ball away.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's no need to be running towards the sideline all the time, hoping someone gets open and taking physical abuse.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: You know, saying like, I have no problem if he's doing that and he's not going to allow the defender to put their body on him.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_01]: fine, take your time, go and see if you could throw the ball down the field, then throw the ball away if there's no, if you can't do it.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_01]: But to hold on to the ball and then take a nasty hit, it's just unnecessary with a bad, with a hammy that's twingey anyway right now.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_01]: So that part, I need Caleb.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_01]: You're too good.
- 5:55[SPEAKER_01]: You're not, you're not one of these guys.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_01]: Do do your athletic
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: to go to another level at certain times, particularly towards the end of games or whatever, or in clutch moments.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like you are a guy that can only do something at certain times.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_01]: You can do something in a myriad of ways.
- 6:15[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to do that.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_01]: And I just need him to stop taking unnecessary hits.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_01]: It's just one of those hits could cause the bear's the season.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: And even though,
- 6:26[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes we drink the cool A and we get really we I don't know who's slipping look alcohol in the cool A, but we start getting a little loose and I'm a part of the leaders of it being can coach any quarterback and we know that's not true, you know I'm saying like that that that that season is over.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_01]: Caleb, we need you for the remainder of the season.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_01]: You cannot take some of the hits like you took today.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_01]: Again, love what he did today.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_01]: Love him being back.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_01]: Love it back.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_01]: The he only had six incompletions.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
- 6:54[SPEAKER_01]: Like unreal.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_00]: And a few of them were throwers that are good.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_01]: So really, he had like two.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
- 7:02[SPEAKER_01]: Because they were less than three to four.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_01]: They were only three to three.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_01]: But Alex, my problem was how long he waited at some of those times to throw the ball away.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: It's like part of it though.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's just part of the Caleb Williams experience like part of the Ben Johnson experience and it's going to infuriate some people he's going to go for it on fourth down more than you like he's going to not take the points and try and get seven more than you like and part of the Caleb Williams experience part of what makes him special it's like he holds on to the ball a long time and that's what allows him it's like it's like a blessing and a curse it'll it unlocks a lot of these explosive but sometimes he's going to get hit
- 7:37[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to tell you why this is a fury that you're saying that.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_01]: I think Ben Johnson is doing a lot better better on his side right now, between going forward and kicking field goes the last game or two.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Tim going forward on the fourth down today did not bother me.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_01]: There was a balance with taking the point.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes
- 7:55[SPEAKER_01]: Get the damn point.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_01]: Stop acting like you're always, no, get the point.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_01]: Him going on for for his healthy to me in this game.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_01]: And it made sense compared to some of the times where it's like, I'm just always going to go for it on for it's like, dude, if you don't take some of those damn field goals and get some of those points, it just it keeps the office motivated.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_01]: It keeps their offense thinking that they got us keep scoring, Rath.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_01]: And it makes their defense not feel like that they, um,
- 8:19[SPEAKER_01]: that you got, that they got you on on the ropes.
- 8:21[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know what I'm saying?
- 8:22[SPEAKER_01]: Like if you're sitting there and you're sitting there and going on a fourth and you don't score, it's like, we did it to him again.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't want you to think that.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_01]: Even if you feel better because you're like, we held them to a field goal.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_01]: You still didn't stop us from putting points up on the board.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_01]: Like even when you look at when the bears had a, when the falcons at the time so that they had a short field and then the falcons didn't even do anything when they didn't score or get a field goal.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_01]: Right, they went forward on fourth down and like I say, hey, Jail Johnson show it up making a big plan for us to keep points.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's deflating.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_01]: You didn't and Ben and again, the Falcons were in a situation where they had to go because how many points there were down.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_01]: So some so when I'm saying when Ben's doing this sometimes, it's not even because of situation of football.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that's much.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_01]: when it's like, no, bro, sometimes, and I think Ben is doing better.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_01]: And then saying that I need Caleb to do better.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_01]: I know Caleb holding on to the ball can be a positive, but there has to be a happy medium where he's not taking needless hits while holding on to the ball.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's easily, that can easily be done.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_01]: He just has to get rid of it a second or so early or sometimes.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes I get it, depending on the situation in the game, you may need to hold on to it to, you may be down, I get that.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_01]: I have no problem with that.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_01]: But sometimes you just gotta live to fight another day because you were too valuable and those hits are cumulative at the end of their day.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: Not here.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember the situations with all of the sacks that he took.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like this is Darious one.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_00]: He was going to the left a little bit.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_01]: He was going to the left.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: He was holding onto it.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_01]: it was Raymond or Rome or who he was trying to hit.
- 10:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: But it was one of those times where still you can't it was it was it was almost three today.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_00]: That was that was when it was 31 23 right so it's 31 23 and and again that's a moment where it's like yo this is like a kind of low and
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: I understand why Caleb Williams is like, let me make a play here and put this game out of reach again because all of a sudden this has gotten a little too close.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: So let me, let me put on my cape here.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: No, on 12.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, wait, 11th offensive series.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to run the series down.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_01]: All right, run it down.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_01]: These are my notes through this series.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_00]: What's the spell around the 11th offensive series?
- 10:47[SPEAKER_00]: Which is crazy that they're 30, one, two, seven.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_00]: All right, 31, seven.
- 10:51[SPEAKER_01]: All right, and let me, this is the fourth quarter, too.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_01]: All right, sort of the quarter.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's the fourth quarter held on for a sack no damn reason can't take unnecessary hits is my first comment the next one hit burden for game Next one a draw for little put first first three and out of the series I mean the game I wrote right on a bat so now I do a thing after every series I wrote a summary my summary of what I think about the series.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah offense off Kayla took a stupid sack again 31 to 7
- 11:22[SPEAKER_01]: So absolutely, that's the situation.
- 11:24[SPEAKER_00]: This is where I agree with you.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: 31-7, throw the ball away.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of Davis, you're absolutely right.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: 31-23, try and make something happen.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: So I am with you there.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm aligned.
- 11:34[SPEAKER_00]: There is a time in a place, can't it?
- 11:35[SPEAKER_00]: If you're absolutely right.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_00]: 31-7, live to die another day.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_01]: It's okay.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_01]: Do you are YouTube nice?
- 11:44[SPEAKER_01]: We can't afford the bears can't afford rather.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_00]: for you to sit there and get hurt and I'm going through to see if there was one prior to that because I felt like I think there was I think the the drive previous he was also sacked but i don't remember okay the right at the start of the fourth quarter that ended up with that field goal he also took a sack
- 12:07[SPEAKER_01]: So again, that's just that's the again.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_01]: Look, I'm not trying to rain on our happy parade I can't believe we're like in the nitty gritty Yeah, but it's all it's just look these are certain that also the top the penalty.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry You got to edit this.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_01]: I'll try to calm down for cursing the penalties dog like what in the world is going
- 12:30[SPEAKER_01]: What's going on?
- 12:30[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know how good you have to be to get the amount of penalties that the bears receive and still win the damn game like bro are y'all out of y'all mind with what y'all are doing like
- 12:42[SPEAKER_01]: Come on man.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_01]: I that part right there.
- 12:45[SPEAKER_01]: The bears were that 12 penalties for 133 yards.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_01]: The fountains only wages.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_01]: The fountains only have 4 penalties for 31 yards.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_01]: That is crazy to say the least.
- 12:57[SPEAKER_01]: And one point during this game, the bears had more penalty yards than the offensive of the fountains had of yards of a production.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_01]: Crazy.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_01]: No, I was just saying like that, listen, and again, I'm going to put some rose color glass on it because the bears are so good.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_01]: They can get away with this type of stuff and I did want to curse, but Alex has to edit this stuff.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_01]: So I kept that power drive.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_00]: We only got to.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_00]: We only got two time code trading down so far.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: So but you can't sit there and risk injury and play with these type of penalties because they're going to be some offenses out there that one play to play up to you guys And they're going to be some defenses that really strive for you guys and you can't leave that many yards due to penalties on the field I mean again, they were up 31 7 majority at a game
- 13:53[SPEAKER_01]: All right, but still like these are still learning lessons that you have to learn as you proceed.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so happy the after Thursday night they get the mini by because we've seen that Ben Johnson has has made progress during the by weeks and mini bars.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_01]: I know they're going to focus on these penalties, but that's just it's it's it's it's worrying at times and again, happy.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_01]: The bears are back on track.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: The bears are foreign to their second in the division right now.
- 14:22[SPEAKER_01]: Depending on what happens with the Packers and the Cowboys later on is evening.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_01]: But you like what you got when you're started came back going down to Atlanta.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_01]: But I just I just got to hit some of the things that they need to improve on two guys.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_01]: And as I'm still enjoying the vibes we're starting with in that pack we're starting with the bad.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_00]: Not what the penalty is huge.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad you brought up the penalties because that is a major storyline because it's not just been an issue today.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_00]: It's been an issue all season also it's an issue for a large part of last season as well.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_00]: This is now been a continuing thing.
- 14:58[SPEAKER_00]: where, yeah, week six on the road in, you know, Atlanta not necessarily the most marquee match-up in the year, the bears were able to get away with it, right?
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: Because they are a good football team and they were able to get away with it.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it does, you know, it does speak to the growth of this team based somewhere they were several years ago.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_00]: Three, four years ago bears lose this game nine out of ten times is between those two things.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe ten out of ten times He's so easy.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_00]: It is a nice touch point of okay.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_00]: This team has come a long way.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_00]: This team is a good football team But when we are talking about where this team wants to go which is super bulls
- 15:48[SPEAKER_00]: and raising Super Bowl banners, that type of play with all those penalties for all those yards, that's not going to win you Super Bulls.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_00]: So the bears are fortunate that they get to look at this tape and they get to make these corrections during a win, you know, a week after they'd won, because that always makes things a lot easier to make these corrections during a win, but they got to make the corrections, because this is not an isolated incident, this is not a situation where you're like, okay, you know what?
- 16:14[SPEAKER_00]: It was one off week.
- 16:15[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see, you know, we're going to flush it and move on.
- 16:19[SPEAKER_00]: This has been a problem.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_00]: This has been a problem now dating back.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_00]: dating back to last year, honestly, they got it cleaned up.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_01]: They cleaned it up for the second half of last season, but now they need to do it again.
- 16:31[SPEAKER_01]: Now they need to do it again.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it is good that you're mentioning that I want to flip the page to a little let's look at the bright side some more, the especially on the offense.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_00]: all the playmakers were making plays.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: This is what it looks like when you distribute the football.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_00]: Roma Dunze was a guy on third down.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_00]: He was a guy on third down even though he wasn't popping off the charts.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: Luther Bird and they fed Luther Bird and he was making plays everywhere.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_00]: Khalifa Raymond contributing, Colson Lovelin contributing, and importantly,
- 17:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to look up this guy's career.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think we might have had the best game out of Rochon, Johnson, certainly in recent memory, but maybe his entire career where finally, Rochon, Johnson looked like a complimentary back and it was huge because DeAndrey Swift, you know, he was effective in score of the two touchdowns.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_00]: That's amazing.
- 17:25[SPEAKER_00]: But the Andre Swift didn't have the best yards per carry.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that Falcons defensive line is stouts.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's no joke that Falcons defensive line.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_00]: They needed that.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_00]: They needed that one to punch.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_00]: And once again, you know, the bears have had a lot of next man up.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_00]: So far this year, Rochon Johnson, you know,
- 17:45[SPEAKER_00]: I will apologize.
- 17:47[SPEAKER_00]: I was very, very critical of Rochon Johnson all year long.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_00]: I was very critical of Ben Johnson being like, why the hell is this guy in the field so much?
- 17:55[SPEAKER_00]: This week, Rochon Johnson showed up.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_00]: And he was a very, very important complementary back was extremely effective.
- 18:04[SPEAKER_01]: One thing that we do on this show is own our family.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_01]: The last one, Alex.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: Um, because I too was critical.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_01]: I was on uh, in the trenches with Jay Hood and uh, and I was like, I don't even know why he's on his roster if it's a post thing.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_01]: Because of last week how he looked in relief, and it just wasn't giving what it needed.
- 18:28[SPEAKER_01]: There is still some limitations when it comes to, um, if you can get Rochon going to the side line,
- 18:36[SPEAKER_01]: you can get him.
- 18:36[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
- 18:37[SPEAKER_01]: Like he does has some speed, but it's more north and south to a degree.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_01]: He has a little on an angle, but if you can get him go, you can get him.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_01]: But he did play well.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_01]: He played a lot better than I expected.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_01]: He was a good change of pace back in this game, particularly when you thought you were going to leave Swift out and have the starters out.
- 18:58[SPEAKER_01]: He was catching balls.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: He was running and he was rushing the ball well.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_01]: Luther Burm was eight receptions on eight targets for 95 yards and almost average of 12 yards a catch.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_01]: Coastal 11 or seven targets had six receptions for 65 yards, almost 11 for his average entity, Rome who you mentioned.
- 19:24[SPEAKER_01]: Four targets, three receptions, 39 yards, some big catches, also things that we call back from those penalties.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_00]: He had a few that were right back from the penalties.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_01]: One thing that we've mentioned is Caleb and Tyson, but playing to the scheme with the player underneath that Ben Johnson has there to be open.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: Caleb is hitting those guys a lot more.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_01]: You saw that with Rome today.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_01]: you saw with Khalifa Raymond early.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_01]: Taking advantage of, hey, you don't have to go down feel there's a relief valve hit that guy and Caleb is doing that in the reason that I want to point this out is the lack of mis of of of of the lack of mis passes when you look at these targets.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_01]: It's guys on here that their targets
- 20:10[SPEAKER_01]: Zeggaon's time is three for three with targets and catches.
- 20:13[SPEAKER_01]: Klee frame a two for two, co-comment two for two.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_01]: All right, the Andre Swift five for four.
- 20:17[SPEAKER_01]: Like this is accuracy right here about it.
- 20:20[SPEAKER_01]: And we're not in these two, are some of these guys were around what Caleb was throwing a ball away too.
- 20:26[SPEAKER_01]: All right, some of these, these, these, these, these incompletions, or whatever, um, to your point.
- 20:31[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Rochon had a game in Rochon gets when probably get a game of 13 characters or 51 yards,
- 20:38[SPEAKER_01]: a TD Swift 16 before 24, 2.8, 2 TDs.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_00]: Brochon also had two catches 34 yards.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: So the 51 yards for Rochon Johnson, the 51 rushing yards, a career high.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: He had 85 all purpose yards outgained in terms of all purpose yards.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Outgained his Texas teammate, B. John Robinson,
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: one of the best in the league, one of the best in the league over the past three years.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: So these guys came out.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_01]: What is this is the best?
- 21:11[SPEAKER_00]: Huh?
- 21:12[SPEAKER_01]: This is he's the best.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think right now, ridiculous also.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if you tell me, I could have Jamir Gibb's a B-John Robbson, I'm taking B-John Robbson.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_00]: That's interesting.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking Gibbs.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_00]: Both are phenomenal running backs.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_00]: Both are absolutely phenomenal.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: B-John has been ridiculous.
- 21:27[SPEAKER_00]: Ever since he came out of the draft.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_00]: He has hit the ground running.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_00]: He's been ridiculous.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_00]: But Rochon Johnson, his teammate, his backup.
- 21:34[SPEAKER_00]: Outgamed him today, he was 10 fewer rushing yards, 10 for your rushing yards, but Bija on Robinson, a big part of his game is catching the ball.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_00]: He's a big, pass catch him back, and the bears had that totally stymied.
- 21:45[SPEAKER_00]: They did not let Bija on Robinson beat them and Roche on Johnson in terms of all purpose yards, outgamed his teammate.
- 21:53[SPEAKER_01]: I learned that for Roche, you know, it was a lot of jokes.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_01]: He came on, understanding with us, I'm had a good time, I know you saw him later.
- 22:02[SPEAKER_01]: in the locker room, but I love that format that he beat B John, no one that he had to play B behind B John all those times and you get to Texas, you wasn't a screw to get to Texas.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_01]: I want to stick with the offense, I've done it to other people, so I have to do it to him.
- 22:25[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 22:29[SPEAKER_01]: I see Chipilo look rusty as anybody with fake.
- 22:34[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I look, I'm waiting for my eyes to come back all the way.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_01]: I understand that you're rusty.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_01]: And I just, I hope this is just the floor and he'll get right get to rise towards the ceiling, thinking about how injured he will house a virus injury was and how quickly he's come back.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_01]: I expect him to have some rust.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_01]: But that root Aussie,
- 22:58[SPEAKER_01]: And Jonah going down really started to hurt that run offense, like even, when they, when they sit, co and coast and over to the right and nothing happened, it was like, oh,
- 23:12[SPEAKER_01]: Jonah like Joey's I think we I know that we hear it, but we underrate and we all know what don't know right is, but we underrate what Jonah Jackson has been with this run game.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying like running it to the right is like you know it's coming and what the hell you're going to do and it's basically been nothing you could do.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_00]: Those numbers with touchdowns, one in particular, the second one.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_00]: I mean like,
- 23:34[SPEAKER_00]: Jonah Jackson got it walled off and then did Darnell Wright just leave the waiting.
- 23:39[SPEAKER_00]: Come on behind me.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_00]: Come on behind me.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_00]: John Drake.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_00]: I'm leaving the way.
- 23:43[SPEAKER_01]: Follow this caboose.
- 23:45[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully, Jonah's not out for an extended amount of time.
- 23:48[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, Ozzy continues to get better.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_01]: I wondered, I didn't really even see the play that caused them to snatch
- 24:02[SPEAKER_01]: was just a mid-releaver starter.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_01]: He was just one of those starters, you know, like they got him in the game and then they got him out of the game.
- 24:11[SPEAKER_01]: Right, it was pretty quickly.
- 24:12[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty quickly, so that I'm interested in that, but again, for the most part, the line did a decent job.
- 24:19[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Caleb did take some hits, but again, I said this, there are cover sex in that situation.
- 24:24[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes that's going to happen.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_01]: I know that I just, again, need to get rid of the ball, but,
- 24:29[SPEAKER_01]: Overall, Ben Johnson also is Ben Johnson's to call heck of a game today, totally the hook and latter.
- 24:35[SPEAKER_01]: How about that hook and latter get to get to get to get to Grease up where the offense just keeps coming because the thing again and we sit on this is man you can them you can demoralize a team when they can't stop you from doing what you want to do.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_01]: Let alone they've already heard the hype of that do that coach.
- 24:54[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_01]: And they got the quarterback back.
- 24:56[SPEAKER_01]: There they go.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_01]: Here they go.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
- 24:59[SPEAKER_01]: And Ben Johnson calling the game.
- 25:01[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I open with I know people to start as they're on a short week.
- 25:07[SPEAKER_01]: You just hope that one nothing bad happens.
- 25:11[SPEAKER_01]: It started going back.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_01]: He put the starters back in.
- 25:14[SPEAKER_01]: Also, some of those calves need some reps. We need to see what Logan Jones can do if we're being honest.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
- 25:22[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe a period of time, well, he's forced into action.
- 25:25[SPEAKER_01]: At least in situations like this, he's getting live reps against the pros and it's not, he's starting to get a taste for it.
- 25:31[SPEAKER_01]: But in some ways, you need to know, okay, now I got some other guys I want to talk about, but is there anything else on the office besides you want to talk about?
- 25:40[SPEAKER_00]: Um, no, I think I covered it.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, offensive line.
- 25:43[SPEAKER_00]: I think overall, you mentioned some of the works.
- 25:46[SPEAKER_00]: Overall, good job.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb, we discussed the sex, but I think overall, Caleb had time.
- 25:53[SPEAKER_00]: He was clean.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_00]: He was upright.
- 25:55[SPEAKER_00]: He made a ton of throws.
- 25:56[SPEAKER_00]: He completes 30 of 36 passes.
- 25:58[SPEAKER_00]: I think, you know, in large part, because he's awesome.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_00]: And he's Caleb, he's a great quarterback.
- 26:04[SPEAKER_00]: But also in large part, because the offensive line
- 26:10[SPEAKER_01]: one guy defensively that what also remember this two they didn't have months that's what out there no right and your best they didn't look that much different they didn't look that much different right and when you think about it with the fact that they didn't have beyond your out there you also look at the fact
- 26:39[SPEAKER_01]: You didn't have him.
- 26:40[SPEAKER_01]: No, TJ Edwards.
- 26:42[SPEAKER_01]: Guy, I was out.
- 26:44[SPEAKER_01]: TJ Edwards out.
- 26:46[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 26:47[SPEAKER_01]: And you didn't have a tie-week, which you need to tie-week this game.
- 26:52[SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing how much it was a little exposed.
- 26:54[SPEAKER_01]: It's him playing out on the edge.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes, he can't help it.
- 26:58[SPEAKER_01]: It's just how much, but it's pretty much the most very good at football.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and with motion, and you're trying to make sure you get the right message.
- 27:05[SPEAKER_01]: You want to get your guys on the rookie Whatever, but you got to hide him a little bit.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_01]: Dylan Benjamin had a couple of players.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_01]: He has some good plays.
- 27:15[SPEAKER_01]: He had a stack.
- 27:16[SPEAKER_01]: But he also had he also has some rookie some rookie That took place But I got and again, we're going to talk about the guy
- 27:28[SPEAKER_01]: the man of the game today, but another guy that really stood out to me today, I want to shout out various linebacker, Noah Sue will.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Noah Sue will save.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_01]: He, he had, he, he tracked down B. John.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, Noah's flying out there, right?
- 27:46[SPEAKER_01]: He tracked down B. John and stopped it because B. John almost blew the hell off this game early.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you did a couple.
- 27:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was a couple, it was a couple players that stopped him from touchdowns.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_01]: I think you're saying with Drake London where I was like, whoa, this this would have been left really quick or more of a shootout, but Norse will come back off an injury, looked well, pun intended.
- 28:10[SPEAKER_01]: So I have to give him, I give no civil props coming back, didn't seem rusty, it seemed faster, you know what I'm saying?
- 28:16[SPEAKER_01]: But a no civil play will, did this Allen again?
- 28:21[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't even have the pre-recocent amount of weapons that he should have.
- 28:27[SPEAKER_01]: And it's still finding ways to put the flimics on opposing teams' offices, right?
- 28:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, this double mug thing that they continued.
- 28:35[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they talked about it all day.
- 28:36[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about it dating back to the last season when he really showed it a ton and he he flipped switch a little bit because or flipped the script or either because a lot of the time they show that look and then they all bail out right and it was confusing other quarterbacks.
- 28:54[SPEAKER_00]: Seeing those guys bail out.
- 28:56[SPEAKER_00]: But it's like that's on tape.
- 28:57[SPEAKER_00]: You know, these guys are going to bail out a lot.
- 28:59[SPEAKER_00]: And then this time it was like, no, we're not bailing out.
- 29:01[SPEAKER_00]: We're coming.
- 29:03[SPEAKER_00]: We're coming.
- 29:04[SPEAKER_00]: And Michael Panics was not prepared or I wouldn't, I shouldn't say not prepared.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_00]: He did not handle that pressure.
- 29:11[SPEAKER_00]: Well, when they pressured, it didn't matter if they hit him.
- 29:14[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't matter if they sat him and they did sack him and they did force fumbles and all of those things happen.
- 29:19[SPEAKER_00]: But even just like the bodies around him, the pressure.
- 29:23[SPEAKER_00]: Panics did not handle the pressure well and that covered up a lot of the defensive backs being missing issues and yeah I mean that's that's DA just in his bag again taking a look that he's shown a lot and Hey, yeah, we bail out of this a lot, but today work.
- 29:43[SPEAKER_00]: for you and they were coming and they were coming and one more guy I want to shout out briefly before we talk to probably the main event the big headline of the defense.
- 29:53[SPEAKER_00]: Devin Bush I also thought you know they needed him to step up with TJ Edwards out there Devin Bush.
- 29:58[SPEAKER_01]: He's been coming along last few weeks.
- 30:01[SPEAKER_01]: He's really been coming along.
- 30:02[SPEAKER_01]: I pay attention to him a lot during the games because of what you lost turn over wise, but also just he plays more like the linebackers down at Dennis Allen needs to speed guy down up in the middle.
- 30:15[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, you're right.
- 30:16[SPEAKER_01]: Devin Bush coming through him in Lynch.
- 30:18[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 30:19[SPEAKER_01]: I know they said Lynch did it, but I feel like both of them had at that first like bad at ball or Michael Pinnicks.
- 30:24[SPEAKER_01]: or whatever, because he was right there too, it's like over their hands, hit that.
- 30:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely.
- 30:29[SPEAKER_01]: Devon Bush has definitely been, he's going to show him why the bear assigned to that kind of person else.
- 30:34[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, it's your main admins did good things for this football team, did some things that didn't fit for this football team.
- 30:41[SPEAKER_00]: Um, was more of an eber flu's cover two slash cover three guy where you want him ranging in the middle of the middle of the day is a he's run a man coverage.
- 30:50[SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, give me a fast guy out there.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it's been a it's been a good personnel swap.
- 30:54[SPEAKER_00]: So far, it's remain admins for Devon Bush and, you know, it's remain admins is having success as well.
- 31:00[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so that's just been a good move.
- 31:02[SPEAKER_00]: I think all across the board.
- 31:03[SPEAKER_01]: The Marco Jones had a player to get that play where he hit the receiver that was crossing over and threw them off so he couldn't I think it was the key is perhaps so that it was a yes or dot.
- 31:14[SPEAKER_01]: He gave him a bump and then that he wasn't allowed to really cast the ball with pinnicks tried to hit them when he was crossing over right but yeah did a silent again.
- 31:22[SPEAKER_01]: with the groceries that they've given him has made meals that you did not think you can get with frappaloney.
- 31:28[SPEAKER_00]: He's the top champion.
- 31:29[SPEAKER_00]: He's the best.
- 31:31[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
- 31:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, exactly.
- 31:32[SPEAKER_01]: He's like ice cream, fried baloney, squash, and asparagus.
- 31:37[SPEAKER_00]: And he is me makes them like this.
- 31:40[SPEAKER_00]: And what I've presented for you today judges is an incredible third down defense.
- 31:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's exactly it Alex exactly like we the bit they may be in the little it's not and it's not crazy, but they are not breaking even in situations where you're like it's advantageous to the offense because of down and distance.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_01]: They're still stopping teams and I'm not even stopping to give them a few goals.
- 32:03[SPEAKER_01]: They're stopping teams, man.
- 32:04[SPEAKER_01]: So yes, right?
- 32:05[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm like one of those such shows like one of the touchdowns is the backup playing.
- 32:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then the other one is like the super sudden change of hey you had a whole series off.
- 32:15[SPEAKER_00]: And now Rochon, you're cold and now you're back out there super short field.
- 32:19[SPEAKER_00]: So like it's hard to hold.
- 32:20[SPEAKER_00]: Well, one, you would literally cannot hold against the starters because they weren't out there.
- 32:24[SPEAKER_00]: The other one is kind of the super tough situation for them to be in as well.
- 32:28[SPEAKER_00]: But we got to talk about the main event.
- 32:30[SPEAKER_00]: What about the Cat Dragon?
- 32:32[SPEAKER_00]: Look at it starting to join the 2026 season.
- 32:35[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna go get our rules together.
- 32:37[SPEAKER_00]: Huh?
- 32:37[SPEAKER_01]: No, Kyle, I'm gonna go get myself together away from you guys Gordon.
- 32:41[SPEAKER_01]: has returned, had 16 snaps, and in that 16 snaps, had two strips, and another set, and another set.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's not my first second on the two, oh, exactly, wild.
- 32:56[SPEAKER_01]: And look, but this way, he's gonna lead to team.
- 32:59[SPEAKER_01]: All right, this is gonna lead to team, right?
- 33:02[SPEAKER_01]: The return, a guy that we talked about last week who they needed right away, right?
- 33:08[SPEAKER_01]: And he didn't have.
- 33:09[SPEAKER_01]: We, they needed them last.
- 33:10[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about this last week that they need to get a Kyla Gordon.
- 33:13[SPEAKER_01]: And with those 16 snaps, oh, oh, me, oh, my, thank goodness that he was out there to impact the defense in a way that they have not been consistently able to do when it comes from that slot guy off the edge in a Dennis Island defense that you know you need.
- 33:30[SPEAKER_01]: And the guy that he wanted to do it is finally almost healthy enough to be out there.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_01]: with 16 snaps, he got the most out of those 16 snaps.
- 33:39[SPEAKER_01]: So, right in the nick of time, it was great, right in the nick of when you when I first saw you at my heart was a lady, you need to do that.
- 33:46[SPEAKER_00]: That was like six.
- 33:47[SPEAKER_01]: I was like a double take.
- 33:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I was like, whoa, I did right.
- 33:52[SPEAKER_00]: Do they have to walk or play in defense now nine?
- 33:54[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, that's it.
- 33:56[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man, I'll get back to you.
- 33:58[SPEAKER_01]: Put a pin in Kyla.
- 33:59[SPEAKER_01]: Jaday, if you don't sit show at least, great, a really good football player with what you can do on special teams as a gunner.
- 34:10[SPEAKER_01]: But man that had but was unnecessary after we happened last week.
- 34:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sitting here.
- 34:14[SPEAKER_01]: I know another place I'm gonna be suspended one of the bills player spit on a alignment for the the Vegas Raiders So I'm sure that's gonna be something we'll see later on this evening with the highlights, but yeah That one was unnecessary jade, but jade still is out there doing a lot of good things on special teams But uh, Kyla Gordon you want to say something about jade before I go back to Kyla.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, Kyla Gordon
- 34:39[SPEAKER_01]: here.
- 34:39[SPEAKER_01]: We don't even need to wait.
- 34:40[SPEAKER_01]: Take this game ball.
- 34:41[SPEAKER_01]: And I hope I know I know good Johnson, but it praises name and give him a game ball in that locker room that while we're talking because he definitely came back and was a major factor.
- 34:54[SPEAKER_01]: and all the slights that's been taking at him.
- 34:57[SPEAKER_01]: He can stay healthy and give the bears this.
- 35:00[SPEAKER_01]: We can run it all back, baby.
- 35:01[SPEAKER_01]: We can figure this out.
- 35:02[SPEAKER_00]: We've been saying it.
- 35:04[SPEAKER_00]: If you come back, you play well.
- 35:05[SPEAKER_00]: The city will open its arms and welcome you back.
- 35:08[SPEAKER_00]: All is forgiven.
- 35:09[SPEAKER_00]: Don't let it give.
- 35:11[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Dr. whoever, Dr. Instagram.
- 35:15[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever, man, is if you are back now,
- 35:18[SPEAKER_00]: and you stay healthy now, this city will forgive you.
- 35:22[SPEAKER_01]: But please, this city helps you to stay healthy.
- 35:25[SPEAKER_01]: Stay healthy, whatever, whoever got your right, keep them around, all right?
- 35:30[SPEAKER_01]: Make it more than your three games, right?
- 35:33[SPEAKER_01]: Move them in, all right?
- 35:34[SPEAKER_01]: Like, move them in, because the bears need you, this defense need you, but man, dinner salad, it's something with having two smart people on both sides of the ball.
- 35:47[SPEAKER_01]: Like, usually we got one and he may not even be calling the place because he got his buddy calling the defense of players.
- 35:54[SPEAKER_01]: He the best defensive play call on a damn team and it's just like, bro, I don't understand your hair coach, but right now, I just need you to go call these defensive plays real quick.
- 36:03[SPEAKER_01]: All right, now goes for loving.
- 36:05[SPEAKER_01]: Now go some out of your flutes.
- 36:06[SPEAKER_01]: I just need you right now to have more of your flutes over there because the one you wanted us to bring in here is not moving away at each move.
- 36:14[SPEAKER_01]: Right now, having dinner salad as the defensive play caller having been Johnson as the offensive play caller is just making food.
- 36:23[SPEAKER_01]: It makes the heart attack football so much less.
- 36:26[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I don't know bears fans, you know what I'm talking about.
- 36:28[SPEAKER_01]: All right, living and dying, when now's kind of like, you're not expecting the Alex, you kind of opened up with this talking about nine times out of 10 or 10 times out of 10 if this was a couple of years ago, this would have been a disaster.
- 36:40[SPEAKER_01]: And it's good.
- 36:40[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why partially sometimes it's not all hope springs and lollipops.
- 36:46[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to talk about some of the things they need to fix because the barns have been raised and it should be raised.
- 36:51[SPEAKER_01]: And we should have the expectation of
- 36:53[SPEAKER_01]: And it should be great because you have those two gentlemen that I just make at running your office and running your defense.
- 36:59[SPEAKER_00]: For him, it's like they got two head coaches on this team.
- 37:01[SPEAKER_00]: It's a real, it's a, it is a luxury that this team has Dennis Allen running the show.
- 37:08[SPEAKER_00]: And it feels like a luxury that they now have their starting nickel who is back.
- 37:13[SPEAKER_00]: And very good when he is on the floor.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, when you think about months, it's what it'll be back in two games.
- 37:20[SPEAKER_01]: Khalil, I was going to be back in two weeks.
- 37:23[SPEAKER_01]: Austin Booker.
- 37:24[SPEAKER_01]: Austin Booker had an Austin Booker.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I want to say?
- 37:31[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm watching this Raiders of Bill's game.
- 37:34[SPEAKER_01]: And it was a miss sack that Max Cross be had.
- 37:38[SPEAKER_01]: But I see the comparisons.
- 37:41[SPEAKER_01]: More often.
- 37:42[SPEAKER_01]: of the motor, there was a tackle.
- 37:46[SPEAKER_01]: Now, B.J.
- 37:46[SPEAKER_01]: I got like six yards on it, but Austin Booker coming from disengaging with an offensive line and turning around, using his long body to then tackle B.J.
- 37:56[SPEAKER_01]: on, instead of B.J.
- 37:57[SPEAKER_01]: on, damn they're breaking the damn thing, stop him at six yards and kind of help set a tone right there.
- 38:03[SPEAKER_01]: I keep seeing Austin Booker out there.
- 38:05[SPEAKER_01]: May not be world beating status.
- 38:07[SPEAKER_01]: But he's given you what you need in a mid-round draft pick, who you have expectations if you stay healthy with what he can continuously bring to your defense.
- 38:16[SPEAKER_01]: So I also want to give just a blip shout out to Austin Booker and Tom out there.
- 38:21[SPEAKER_00]: Rare moment where a project player actually turns into what you believe he could be.
- 38:27[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, how often does the project player not pan out?
- 38:30[SPEAKER_00]: But that's, that's how it goes.
- 38:31[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we saw it in Atlanta.
- 38:33[SPEAKER_00]: His name is Durban Dexter Senior, but so often, you know, I mean, like with these fifth, six, seventh round players, they're flyers.
- 38:41[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, there's a lot of tickets to a degree.
- 38:44[SPEAKER_00]: You can't really beat up on a GM for missing on those picks.
- 38:48[SPEAKER_00]: And when they do hit on those picks, it's great, but awesome book or the dude who, you know,
- 38:55[SPEAKER_00]: It was like everything to Marcus Robinson, Dominique Robinson, all right, for guys named Dominique Robinson did not turn into, you know, so it's obviously still young in that young man's career, but he is showing the growth that the bears honestly needed him to take this year as password number three, but now it's a day pass, Russia.
- 39:18[SPEAKER_00]: Number one.
- 39:19[SPEAKER_00]: And he was effective.
- 39:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, we got both for your starting defensive ends was out.
- 39:27[SPEAKER_01]: they were able to do and you can give it down so goes to Dennis Island being able to dial up and switch up what he can do.
- 39:32[SPEAKER_01]: Dennis Island is up like the chop was a good analogy to use when it comes to him as far as what he can do with the limited things or the trick things they do in there.
- 39:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I gave my first one out already.
- 39:45[SPEAKER_01]: Kyle Gordon come get this damn game ball and then let this be the last one.
- 39:49[SPEAKER_01]: Come get some more later because you don't stay healthy.
- 39:51[SPEAKER_01]: All right,
- 39:54[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb Williams, just, I mean, making all the right decisions, making all the right passes.
- 40:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we'll work on you picking your spots to extend plays.
- 40:06[SPEAKER_00]: There's there's always room from improvement.
- 40:09[SPEAKER_00]: There's always room from improvement.
- 40:10[SPEAKER_00]: We'll work on that.
- 40:12[SPEAKER_00]: That's an extremely good game from QB1 in my books.
- 40:16[SPEAKER_00]: So have this come at ball, Caleb.
- 40:18[SPEAKER_01]: Also, one thing that I didn't mention while I was still getting on, but listen, I get on because I don't want to get hurt, but also coming off an injury.
- 40:25[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 40:26[SPEAKER_01]: Coming off an injury came out there and balled out.
- 40:30[SPEAKER_01]: So shout out to QB1 man for holding this team to a higher level that he's brought since he's been with Ben Johnson.
- 40:42[SPEAKER_01]: the offensive and defensive minds of this team and that's Dennis Allen and Ben Johnson.
- 40:48[SPEAKER_01]: For again, the Falcons on world beaters, but you put them in their place, which for really until you put the backup scene and they had their starters in, to again, I'm not gonna be angry about at this point in a short week, but I set out to those coaches for getting it done and having these guys ready outside of the penalties, the only thing, only problem with those coaches is the penalties.
- 41:11[SPEAKER_00]: My final game ball is going to go to Tori Taylor who is fling all the way back.
- 41:19[SPEAKER_00]: The bear is drafted.
- 41:20[SPEAKER_00]: This is now the second time.
- 41:22[SPEAKER_00]: The second time he's put that funky spin on it and has Zach Branch and hell.
- 41:29[SPEAKER_00]: Zach Branch had a tough day.
- 41:31[SPEAKER_00]: Tori Taylor had something to do with that tough day because he does put that funky spin on it that makes it hard to feel and that.
- 41:39[SPEAKER_00]: That turned into very easy Chicago Bears points.
- 41:43[SPEAKER_00]: That is turning special teams into offense.
- 41:46[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly what the Bears drew up when they drafted them.
- 41:49[SPEAKER_00]: It took a while to get there.
- 41:51[SPEAKER_00]: Took a while to get there, but Tori Taylor, you did it in five points, three of them inside the 20 in addition to that.
- 41:57[SPEAKER_00]: So nice job, Tori Taylor.
- 42:00[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't add another person to my game ball with the coaches.
- 42:05[SPEAKER_01]: One thing that was all of my notes today,
- 42:08[SPEAKER_01]: Richard Hot Tower, your coverage on a punts and kickoffs was fantastic today.
- 42:14[SPEAKER_01]: Keep third phase playing like this.
- 42:16[SPEAKER_01]: Their coverage was fantastic today.
- 42:20[SPEAKER_01]: They, again, it was Tory, but the guys were down there, too, on a couple of those, where you almost had the guy knock it in, down by the one,
- 42:28[SPEAKER_01]: you had think about the fact where even with the funky kick spin that you see it, Bransford was right.
- 42:34[SPEAKER_01]: It was branched to somebody else's probably jade or right there when the ball of Winnie Mide.
- 42:41[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Blackwell picked it up he was Josh Blackwell right there to pick it up.
- 42:44[SPEAKER_01]: Josh Blackwell was out there a lot to uh Josh Blackwell a lot to hit.
- 42:48[SPEAKER_01]: That seems ace.
- 42:49[SPEAKER_01]: We're out there playing well.
- 42:50[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to give Richard Hatt's house some props because we'd be flaming them.
- 42:53[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to give Richard Hatt's house some props.
- 42:55[SPEAKER_01]: You got him here.
- 42:56[SPEAKER_00]: Also a coordinator's got a got a ball.
- 42:58[SPEAKER_00]: Do I have an extra point?
- 43:02[SPEAKER_00]: I got a couple I could go with.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_00]: You want a music or a movie extra point, can I?
- 43:08[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go with a movie.
- 43:09[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, I saw the movie that's the talk of the town right now.
- 43:15[SPEAKER_00]: You can see everything.
- 43:17[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, this is the, are you familiar with Nathan Fielder's work?
- 43:21[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what's the name of this one?
- 43:22[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 43:23[SPEAKER_01]: You got something.
- 43:24[SPEAKER_00]: Nathan Fielder is a extremely strange comic, uh, who really became famous or became more mainstream with his show Nathan for you on Comedy Central, where he would take these small businesses and give them
- 43:43[SPEAKER_00]: terrible advice to help their businesses, and it would just kind of get outrageous in the efforts of saving the business.
- 43:53[SPEAKER_00]: And like in some ways, it did help because it brought a lot of notoriety.
- 43:59[SPEAKER_00]: It was just crazy.
- 44:00[SPEAKER_00]: It's a crazy show of what this did, this guy did to help small businesses.
- 44:10[SPEAKER_00]: absolutely wild watch mind-ending stuff like pseudo documentary genre bending weirdness where he helped people get through sticky situations by recreating those situations and having them or
- 44:30[SPEAKER_00]: So like, for instance, there's a guy who wants to tell his trivia team that he's been lying.
- 44:38[SPEAKER_00]: He's been, he's been telling me as a PhD for years and years and years and he's embarrassed, but he wants to come clean and be like, hey, I'd like made this up so that you would think
- 44:55[SPEAKER_00]: to help this man rehearse going through it and goes through all of these situations.
- 45:00[SPEAKER_00]: And with Nathan Fielder, things just always go crazy.
- 45:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he takes it to the next level and then takes it to 10 more levels, your mind can't even imagine.
- 45:11[SPEAKER_00]: Where you're by the end of your life, how the hell did we get here?
- 45:16[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of a thing, it's wild.
- 45:19[SPEAKER_00]: So he did a documentary.
- 45:24[SPEAKER_00]: with Elizabeth Holmes, the woman who defrauded like a billion dollars for this health care company, fairness, where she said, you know, we're going to be able to do all these diagnostic tests for with one drop of blood.
- 45:39[SPEAKER_00]: She became the youngest, like self-made female billionaire, but it was fraud.
- 45:46[SPEAKER_00]: And now she's imprisoned.
- 45:47[SPEAKER_00]: She's serving in 11 year sentence.
- 45:49[SPEAKER_01]: And what's that that's it.
- 45:53[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead, please.
- 45:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so she invites him into her home to film their family life for a month before she goes to prison and then the documentary extends to her while she's in prison for two years.
- 46:16[SPEAKER_00]: And it is outrageous.
- 46:19[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird.
- 46:19[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be honest.
- 46:20[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know how I feel about this movie watching it and coming out of it.
- 46:24[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, what, what did I watch?
- 46:27[SPEAKER_00]: What does this mean?
- 46:28[SPEAKER_00]: What does anything mean?
- 46:31[SPEAKER_00]: And Nathan Fielder in his typical way just like takes a concept and is kind of poking at it and prodding at it from all different areas.
- 46:42[SPEAKER_00]: And dude, it's just wild.
- 46:43[SPEAKER_00]: It was a crazy movie.
- 46:45[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I liked it.
- 46:47[SPEAKER_01]: I think I did.
- 46:48[SPEAKER_00]: The more I read about it, the more I do like it.
- 46:52[SPEAKER_00]: But then I'll think about something else.
- 46:53[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be like, no, that's not where.
- 46:54[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's for it.
- 46:55[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.
- 46:58[SPEAKER_00]: So if you like Nathan Fielder, and if you like weird genre-bending stuff,
- 47:04[SPEAKER_00]: I've heard it described as creative non-fiction.
- 47:07[SPEAKER_00]: They describe it as a documentary.
- 47:08[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's a documentary.
- 47:09[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it is journalists enough to be a documentary.
- 47:12[SPEAKER_00]: But man is weird stuff.
- 47:14[SPEAKER_00]: And here's the thing.
- 47:15[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I'll lean for Asia as a typical heavy weight fight of boxers.
- 47:22[SPEAKER_00]: This is like a heavy weight fight of manipulators.
- 47:26[SPEAKER_00]: But Nathan Forder and Elizabeth Holmes.
- 47:30[SPEAKER_00]: are you like going 12 rounds in the fields of manipulation of manipulation and
- 47:36[SPEAKER_00]: word bending and like trying to out chest the other person, it's crazy.
- 47:42[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
- 47:43[SPEAKER_00]: So wild weird movie.
- 47:45[SPEAKER_00]: If you're into that stuff, again, I don't like this is like a half recommendation.
- 47:50[SPEAKER_00]: I need to think on it.
- 47:51[SPEAKER_00]: So if you have thoughts on it, like I just need to talk with people about it so that I understand.
- 47:56[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even understand what I understand.
- 47:58[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand anything.
- 47:59[SPEAKER_00]: Wild stuff, wild stuff, Nathan Fielder, you can see everything, which is kind of a
- 48:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to spoil anything, but you can see everything is kind of a genius title for this film also.
- 48:12[SPEAKER_00]: Based on what happens in this film and then you think back you like wait.
- 48:16[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that this is called you can see everything.
- 48:20[SPEAKER_00]: Nathan Fielder might be a genius.
- 48:22[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 48:23[SPEAKER_01]: So for Alex Shapiro, I'm kind of David.
- 48:26[SPEAKER_01]: We appreciate you, Jordan.
- 48:27[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we
- 48:32[SPEAKER_01]: to let's go over the Bears Thursday night game versus the Patriots.
- 48:39[SPEAKER_01]: A look back into the draft of 2023.
- 48:41[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.
- 48:43[SPEAKER_01]: Patriots made it to the Super Bowl, Bears have not.
- 48:46[SPEAKER_01]: Um, two young quarterbacks that will be connected forever.
- 48:49[SPEAKER_01]: We took down one of those guys this week in Michael Pentech's Jr. Time to go get the other one to get the rest of them.
- 48:56[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but we appreciate and we'll see you sometime this week to break down the preview rather.
- 49:00[SPEAKER_01]: The Thursday night game of bears versus the Patriots.
- 49:05[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, here at soldier.
- 49:07[SPEAKER_01]: All right, everybody.
