- 2:13SPEAKER_06: That was Laurie Hayes in the background, too.
- 2:15SPEAKER_06: Man, look at that man.
- 2:20SPEAKER_03: Good times, man.
- 2:21SPEAKER_03: Good times, man.
- 2:22SPEAKER_03: I told y'all, man, y'all gonna have to come down there and kick it with me one day, man.
- 2:25SPEAKER_03: I'm telling y'all, it's a vibe that's off the chain, man.
- 2:29SPEAKER_03: It's a vibe that's off the chain.
- 2:31SPEAKER_03: Like I told, like I just told Plank, I'm gonna I'm gonna send y'all the the actual footage that uh uh that uh Patrick uh Fazio sent me.
- 2:40SPEAKER_03: Um so man, it was it was a vibe, man.
- 2:43SPEAKER_03: Yesterday, and a lot of Eagles fans, a lot of Eagles fans, man.
- 2:47SPEAKER_03: We walked up to our seats, and the whole row behind us was Philadelphia Eagles fans.
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: Me and my boy Ed, we looked around, we was like, where's everybody at?
- 2:57SPEAKER_03: But we was like, okay, don't worry about it.
- 3:00SPEAKER_03: But when I tell you they were sitting in their seats all night like this, sitting on their hands, I can take it.
- 3:06SPEAKER_03: And then I had one because I'm very demonstrative at the at the games, and you know, we score a touchdown, you know.
- 3:15SPEAKER_03: I get out of my seat because I'm the I'm I'm the second seat from the end.
- 3:19SPEAKER_03: I get out of my seat, go up, have five people, go down, have five people.
- 3:23SPEAKER_03: And this Eagles fan told me, like, you really need to sit down.
- 3:27SPEAKER_03: That's what he told me.
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: And I looked at him, I told you, I was like, You can't tell me to sit down in my house and then a couple and then a couple of bad, they turned around, they was like, Jay, I'm we could, but you can't tell me to sit down in my house, and we on y'all right now.
- 3:45SPEAKER_06: So he clearly didn't know he was a visitor.
- 3:48SPEAKER_03: He clearly didn't know he was a visitor, but it was good times, man.
- 3:52SPEAKER_03: No, you know, no issues.
- 3:53SPEAKER_03: Uh, but it was a lot of Eagles fans there, and for the most part, you know, even when they came through the tailgate, uh, you know, we can't they came through, we you know, they ate with us, so it was a good time, man.
- 4:03SPEAKER_03: We had it, we had a really good time yesterday, man.
- 4:06SPEAKER_03: We had a really good time.
- 4:08SPEAKER_06: I never forget uh uh I never forget the Eagles fans.
- 4:14SPEAKER_06: The Eagles fans are notorious for being difficult.
- 4:17SPEAKER_06: Yes, they're in their own stadium.
- 4:19SPEAKER_06: They used to have a judge and police and court under the stadium for the people they arrested during the game.
- 4:27SPEAKER_06: These are the same fans that threw snowballs at Santa Claus, right?
- 4:33SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 4:33SPEAKER_06: So they're not gonna come to your house and be hospitable.
- 4:36SPEAKER_06: So I think you served yourself well, brother.
- 4:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, these are saying Philadelphia fans that booed Wendell Davis when he blew out both his knees in their old stadium.
- 4:47SPEAKER_03: So I mean, but you know, it it's all good.
- 4:52SPEAKER_03: Was was that the most complete game we've seen on the bench?
- 4:56SPEAKER_03: Absolutely, absolutely, yeah.
- 4:58SPEAKER_04: And you know, I regret that it is uh because we played on both sides of the ball, right?
- 5:05SPEAKER_04: Because even though and offensively we were so dominant in that first game, we didn't play well defensively, and it was good to see our defense show up really two weeks in a row.
- 5:19SPEAKER_04: Jay mentioned earlier, it uh, other than that one play, and I think it's more so that the Bears will probably talk about making sure in a situation like that, you don't let that guy get up that easy.
- 5:30SPEAKER_04: They did kind of let him get up too easy, yeah.
- 5:33SPEAKER_04: Right, you could have scared him for a second, so yeah, and he they might have not got that snap off, right?
- 5:38SPEAKER_04: And I think most of the players kind of thought the time was gonna run out or you're gonna spike it, and that's why he got in.
- 5:43SPEAKER_04: But other than that, they would have it would have been a shutout.
- 5:45SPEAKER_04: You're right, Jay.
- 5:45SPEAKER_04: It would have been a shutout.
- 5:46SPEAKER_06: Yeah, the rules is to make them throw a penalty on you.
- 5:50SPEAKER_06: I mean, at that point, you're on the the one-inch line.
- 5:52SPEAKER_06: What's the worst they can do is throw a penalty.
- 5:55SPEAKER_06: But if you hold them down and you're making them push you off and all of that, chances are the the clock could have ran out there.
- 6:01SPEAKER_06: But that's all right.
- 6:02SPEAKER_06: It as fate has it, we ended up getting the same quarterback sneak with the time running out exactly the same, uh late in the fourth quarter.
- 6:11SPEAKER_06: So that's how it's how it worked out sometimes.
- 6:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 6:16SPEAKER_03: So so overall, overall, you know, they played well.
- 6:19SPEAKER_03: You know, we we we gonna talk about it, I'm sure.
- 6:21SPEAKER_03: But Case Keno.
- 6:25SPEAKER_03: I I was I was literally blown away.
- 6:28SPEAKER_03: I I really was.
- 6:29SPEAKER_03: You know, if you go back and look at the tape, because I watched the game earlier again today.
- 6:34SPEAKER_03: If you go back and watch the tape, man, everything was one, two, three throw.
- 6:38SPEAKER_03: One, two, three throw, one, two, three throw.
- 6:41SPEAKER_03: This dude was 11 to 12 against the blitz last night.
- 6:47SPEAKER_03: I mean, what can I mean you can't ask for nothing better than that?
- 6:51SPEAKER_03: You can't ask for nothing better than that, man.
- 6:54SPEAKER_03: The defense had the uh the Eagles, they was two or nine on third down.
- 6:59SPEAKER_03: You know, it was just the overall like Simon's Simon or Simeon, like he just said, it was it was the most complete game under Ben Johnson since his tenure here.
- 7:13SPEAKER_03: So well coached, you know, and of course, now we heading into week four.
- 7:19SPEAKER_03: You know, week one we had 12 penalties.
- 7:22SPEAKER_03: Last week we had 10 penalties, eight accepted.
- 7:25SPEAKER_03: Yesterday we had three penalties, you know.
- 7:27SPEAKER_03: So everything is coming around.
- 7:28SPEAKER_03: And like I told y'all, y'all, you know, September is really kind of that, you know, let's mold our team and see what we got.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: And now we heading into October, and we are actually trying to see, and we actually gonna see what what this bears team is.
- 7:42SPEAKER_03: Um I was talking to my daughter today, and I'm gonna hold off because I've only told one person, but I'm gonna keep that, I'm gonna keep that to myself.
- 7:50SPEAKER_03: So Bears Better Talk show y'all can wrestle for the rest of the week in y'all's head to think about what I said.
- 8:00SPEAKER_03: Okay, I'll tell you, I'm not gonna give it to y'all yet.
- 8:04SPEAKER_06: Okay, all right.
- 8:06SPEAKER_06: I'll tell you what, what that was yesterday, what we witnessed on Monday night football, the biggest stage there is for the NFL uh in the regular season, was a quarterback masterclass executed by Chase Keenum.
- 8:21SPEAKER_06: Chase Keenum, um, he y'all, if you listen to his cadence, his directions, he kept pointing out who was the mic linebacker, made sure he communicated with everybody on the offensive side and he calmed everybody down.
- 8:36SPEAKER_06: Not just that, he kept the ball moving exactly like it was supposed to.
- 8:42SPEAKER_06: He tried to have his cadence sound exactly like Caleb Williams, so it wasn't that hard uh for all of the rest of the offensive players to keep in sync.
- 8:52SPEAKER_06: He just did an exemplary job, and I'm glad that that that young man, he's 38, I'm still old enough to be his daddy.
- 9:01SPEAKER_06: I'm glad that young that young man actually got another opportunity to get out there and live his dream because you know he's been wanting to do this, he didn't want to retire when he did, but you know, certain situations kind of retired him, and Ben Johnson is responsible for getting him to come back and you know play in a dual coaching player um scenario.
- 9:26SPEAKER_06: So we're the beneficiaries of that.
- 9:28SPEAKER_06: So hats off to everybody here.
- 9:30SPEAKER_03: Absolutely, yeah.
- 9:32SPEAKER_04: You know what?
- 9:32SPEAKER_04: Uh man, I really want to talk about case Ken, but I I uh but before I do that, I I really would like to acknowledge the Bears defensive line, which have been maligned all during the offseason on how it did not improve, etc.
- 9:49SPEAKER_04: My man, I don't know what they did as far as game balls because I know yesterday he said it's so many defensive players that he he said he'd give them out today, and I didn't get a chance to follow up.
- 10:02SPEAKER_04: But if I was giving out a game ball for the defense, right away it would be uh Grady Jarrett.
- 10:09SPEAKER_04: Grady Garrett, you know, I'm talking about the front court.
- 10:13SPEAKER_04: He was the yesterday was the first time that I felt that he was the guy that the Bears signed, you know, when they got from Alana.
- 10:21SPEAKER_04: He was disruptive, he made Jalen Hurst uh uncomfortable, even when he he kind of came up in the pocket.
- 10:31SPEAKER_04: Jared Grady was right there in his face, chasing him down the field.
- 10:36SPEAKER_04: He looked great.
- 10:37SPEAKER_04: Dial.
- 10:37SPEAKER_04: I seen the comment about Dial.
- 10:39SPEAKER_04: Dial was in there, even Booker.
- 10:42SPEAKER_04: I think Booker actually caused it the fumble.
- 10:45SPEAKER_04: Well, yeah, I think that was him who punched it out.
- 10:47SPEAKER_04: Man, you just saw you seen Sweat.
- 10:49SPEAKER_04: I believe Sweat got some sacks.
- 10:51SPEAKER_04: You seen the guys on that front line make Jaden Hurst look uncomfortable.
- 10:57SPEAKER_04: I know the first half they run the ball pretty well, but they were not actually uh passing the ball well in the first half.
- 11:04SPEAKER_04: So the Bears was living with those like rushing yards because they really didn't amount to anything, but their stats when it all come down to it, it was not, but that second half, man, they cannot in Peterman.
- 11:16SPEAKER_04: I got that, I can't say enough about Peterman, man.
- 11:20SPEAKER_04: I mean, this guy, you wouldn't even think this is his third game as a I mean, you would think he's like in game 12 or 13.
- 11:27SPEAKER_04: I mean, this guy is I mean, he got a touchdown save and play on uh on uh Barkley that actually ended up being an uh interception at the end of that play, uh, because he pushed him out of bounds.
- 11:43SPEAKER_04: But if he had not took that angle to push him out of bounds, he would have scored.
- 11:46SPEAKER_04: And then that play actually ended up where uh Andy Dalton came in, and Andy Dalton actually threw a pick.
- 11:52SPEAKER_04: So man, you can't say enough about that.
- 11:58SPEAKER_03: As usual, as usual, but but you know what I want to reference on the defense is that remember last year.
- 12:08SPEAKER_03: Who led the leg who led the league of turnovers last year?
- 12:11SPEAKER_03: The Bears.
- 12:13SPEAKER_03: Everybody said that that wasn't sustainable, right?
- 12:16SPEAKER_03: Yep, you know, you that that just ain't gonna happen no more.
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: Three turnovers last night, three turnovers uh uh uh in week two.
- 12:27SPEAKER_03: I think we had two in in week one.
- 12:31SPEAKER_03: So we still getting the turnovers.
- 12:35SPEAKER_03: I don't know if it's sustainable, but it's happening.
- 12:38SPEAKER_03: And I I can tell you, as long as they can continue to get turnovers, TJ Edwards.
- 12:45SPEAKER_03: TJ Edwards was a man amongst men last night in the run game, as well as in the past game.
- 12:53SPEAKER_03: So you you know, we could talk about this defense.
- 12:56SPEAKER_03: You know, that's what I you know, that's what I tell people.
- 12:58SPEAKER_03: They was like, oh, the Bears gonna have to score 40 because their defense is gonna give up 38.
- 13:04SPEAKER_03: Well, we haven't seen that yet.
- 13:06SPEAKER_03: We haven't seen that yet.
- 13:07SPEAKER_03: And again, like guys say, that's why we play the game.
- 13:11SPEAKER_03: You know, that's why the game is being played.
- 13:14SPEAKER_03: You can't pencil in a champion or a Super Bowl champion on paper, and the games hasn't been played yet.
- 13:20SPEAKER_06: Yeah, relative to man, you know, a lot of people always you know try to give low marks for effort.
- 13:28SPEAKER_06: Effort doesn't mean anything, effort means everything.
- 13:32SPEAKER_06: Everything that's the difference between the Bears of potentially winning that game, going away, as we did, versus having a much more difficult time against uh you know a good opponent.
- 13:44SPEAKER_06: He ended up running Saquon Barkley out at the half-yard line.
- 13:50SPEAKER_06: And a lot of people would be like, well, the way they've been running, they're gonna score the next play anyway.
- 13:55SPEAKER_06: That's not how it happened.
- 13:56SPEAKER_06: Uh as a matter of fact, that the same thing happened to us last week when you know we were in position uh to get a short touchdown.
- 14:05SPEAKER_06: You just never know.
- 14:06SPEAKER_06: That's why you know the best players continue to put out effort.
- 14:11SPEAKER_06: Hats off to uh Grady Jarrett, uh the the entire defensive line.
- 14:16SPEAKER_06: A lot of times people think that the defensive good defense means you get a lot of sacks.
- 14:21SPEAKER_06: Not necessarily.
- 14:22SPEAKER_03: Not necessarily.
- 14:23SPEAKER_06: Look at the number of three and outs the defense got in that game.
- 14:29SPEAKER_06: That's where they controlled everything.
- 14:31SPEAKER_06: It was hard for the Eagles to get into a rhythm, and we weren't doing them any favors by helping them get into a re rhythm either.
- 14:38SPEAKER_06: That was a three-phase win for the Bears, and I don't think I've seen us complete uh domination uh with the Bears in a few years.
- 14:48SPEAKER_06: So that was that was pretty wonderful.
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and we still got to talk about the mistake.
- 14:56SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry, but now we still gotta talk about the mistakes though.
- 14:59SPEAKER_03: And I still, you know, as I sat there, because I didn't know how the the ebbs and flows of the game was gonna go.
- 15:10SPEAKER_03: Ben Johnson, you gotta keep that field going.
- 15:13SPEAKER_03: You gotta keep that field going, you gotta put points on the board, man.
- 15:17SPEAKER_03: I think it was the second possession where they went for it.
- 15:21SPEAKER_03: I think we were somewhere on like our four or five yard line, and they went and we went for it and we didn't get it.
- 15:28SPEAKER_03: Uh Sam Rouse had another dumb penalty yesterday, uh, where you know he touched the football on his uh foot wind up, uh touching the goal line.
- 15:38SPEAKER_03: So they brought the ball back out to the 20.
- 15:41SPEAKER_03: It's still some stuff we got to clean up.
- 15:44SPEAKER_03: But yesterday, Plank, I I do agree, you know, and I agree with everybody so far as far as a complete game, you know, minus the mistakes.
- 15:54SPEAKER_03: It was a complete game yesterday.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, one of the things I would uh like to mention that the Bears did not beat themselves yesterday, you know, of making the compounding drives.
- 16:07SPEAKER_04: And if you watch the game in details, the Eagles was doing some of the stuff that the Bears did the week before, where you were killing your own drive where you had you know false stars, holding and etc.
- 16:21SPEAKER_04: And and uh, you know, and I'm not a proponent of like hurting a guy anything, but I do think that that hit on Jalen Hurst sent that message that uh if you're gonna run out of bounds, run out of bounds.
- 16:35SPEAKER_04: Because if you think about last year, Caleb took a hit on the sideline the same way there was no flag, and basically the defense was saying they had been seeing film of him getting to the sideline and not quite running out of bounds.
- 16:46SPEAKER_04: Well, the band said Jalen Hurst know after that look, you're either gonna run out of bounds.
- 16:51SPEAKER_04: I think the Marco Jackson, or you you know, you want that extra yard, you're gonna earn that extra yard, right?
- 16:57SPEAKER_04: And I think at that point the Eagles was kind of almost like, man, we don't want no part of this team because after that, that's when the three and a half started, right?
- 17:04SPEAKER_04: Um after that, you know, you go into halftime, and they just put, pot, pot, and Barkley kind of like he went from like what hit my 80 yards by halftime.
- 17:16SPEAKER_04: I don't think he gave another 15 yards the whole second half.
- 17:21SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, that hit out of bound.
- 17:23SPEAKER_03: Well, I ain't gonna say the hit was out of bounds.
- 17:25SPEAKER_03: I I thought it might have been a clean hit, uh, as I watched it a couple of times.
- 17:30SPEAKER_03: And I think I don't know if DeMarco Jackson had already saw the flag because you know when that when that flag came out, those penalties are set.
- 17:38SPEAKER_03: So it, you know, it was a penalty on offense as well as the defense.
- 17:42SPEAKER_03: So I don't know if he was like, okay, it's already a flag out here.
- 17:45SPEAKER_03: I'm finna just send the message right now.
- 17:49SPEAKER_03: And uh I think it was a legitimate hit because he did have a foot in bounds.
- 17:56SPEAKER_03: Um, but like you say, Monarch, that hit changed the entire game.
- 18:02SPEAKER_03: And it's funny because after he got hit, he ran back on the field and and they called him off the field because of the concussion protocol.
- 18:16SPEAKER_03: And if you look at the play again, when he got hit, he didn't get hit in the head.
- 18:22SPEAKER_03: When he fell, he didn't hit his head on the ground.
- 18:25SPEAKER_03: So this is a whole nother show because I'm so tired of these referees.
- 18:32SPEAKER_03: Uh uh, I'm so tired of these referees uh calling games where they're making these games, they're interjecting themselves in these games.
- 18:43SPEAKER_03: You know, just like that Ravens and Cowboys game, there's no way there's still been one second left on the clock for them to seven seconds for them to go down and make that play and then kick a field goal.
- 18:55SPEAKER_03: They these referees are interjecting in the in in the NFL right now, and it's not a good look.
- 19:03SPEAKER_03: It's definitely not a good look.
- 19:06SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think the referees are making some bad calls, but you know, that's gonna be here today, here or there.
- 19:12SPEAKER_06: Uh just like last week, they didn't make a call at all uh when we got tackled out of bounds, which would have been the difference.
- 19:19SPEAKER_03: On the park return, yeah.
- 19:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 19:21SPEAKER_06: But what's what's actually happening is a lot of the quarterbacks, and I'm talking specifically about Patrick Mahomes, are playing, they towing their foot right on that line of what's legal and what's not.
- 19:34SPEAKER_06: Uh, they can't really have it both ways.
- 19:37SPEAKER_06: If you want to have the quarterback to be protected, then they gotta go ahead and let people know, hey, I'm going down, I'm trying to go down, so people won't hit them.
- 19:47SPEAKER_06: Um when you taking that last step and trying to act like you going out of bounds, but then you get an extra five yards, that puts the rest of the quarterbacks in the league at risk.
- 19:59SPEAKER_03: Because you because if you remember, I'm not gonna do that no more.
- 20:03SPEAKER_03: Because if you remember, Caleb did it last week where he was running out of bounds and and they thought he was running out of bounds, he stopped and stunned a step and then went around the guy and got another.
- 20:13SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 20:13SPEAKER_03: So as a defender, and I I know Frank liked to hear me say, as a defender, what do you do?
- 20:22SPEAKER_03: That's what you are doing.
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: What do you do as a defender?
- 20:28SPEAKER_03: You know what I'm saying?
- 20:29SPEAKER_03: So so yeah, so it's it's it's something that needs to be done about it, but uh, but I I thought it was a clean hit, and you know, like I said, the penalties are set, and you know, unfortunately, the red rifle came in and threw us the and threw the rookie a pitch.
- 20:47SPEAKER_03: So man, and the rookie was cool, and the rookie and the rookie was cool.
- 20:53SPEAKER_03: He he he caught the interception and then took a few steps.
- 20:56SPEAKER_03: He's like, Oh, nope, nope, nope nope I'm just gonna go down in the end zone.
- 21:00SPEAKER_03: Football knowledge, and I love it.
- 21:02SPEAKER_03: I I know this kid, man.
- 21:04SPEAKER_03: Uh uh uh Dylan Thineman is gonna be a player in this league.
- 21:08SPEAKER_04: Well, yeah, hey Jay, I know you you uh alluded to it, and then one of the viewers saying thanks everybody for tuning in uh tonight.
- 21:15SPEAKER_04: Make sure you hit the subscribe button that uh to keep that keep that notification bell on.
- 21:21SPEAKER_04: But somebody did allude to I'm sorry to jump to another subject.
- 21:25SPEAKER_04: I am we're gonna have to know when to not go for it.
- 21:30SPEAKER_04: When when your team gets a turnover on your side of the field, I just really wanted to point this out.
- 21:36SPEAKER_04: I know Jay mentioned in one of the um one uh it was a comment down there.
- 21:40SPEAKER_04: Your defense has awarded you a short field, the best thing you could do for that defense because you was already in field goal is to get something for now.
- 21:51SPEAKER_04: What you can't guarantee if the field goal kick is gonna he may miss it or something may happen, but if they award you another opportunity after you've been stopped on you have.
- 22:00SPEAKER_04: to come away with something you go and and it's so much about momentum in the game right because at that point you go up either you could go up 10 to nothing versus keeping the gang seven or nothing right which gives that team hope because the way the eagles were not scoring every score that you put on the board it makes it feel like the bears got 40 right because the more they separate but when you leave that like that one touchdown there so I like the Ben that be able to because he did this uh I believe last week where they got a turnover and they ended up not getting anything out of the turnover reward your defense with those points especially when you already in great field position when they get the turnover that I just wanted to make that point I know it's kind of off of what we were talking about.
- 22:52SPEAKER_03: No no you're exactly right you you're exactly right because again as I've y'all heard me say so many times points are a premium in the NFL you know right now you know it's week three so we you know we can keep hearing haha about it but points are a premium in the NFL and as we saw going back to last year in the playoffs where Ben decided he was going to go for it and not kick the field goal it could have possibly cost them and it possibly and it did cost them in that Rams game.
- 23:23SPEAKER_03: So I mean like I say I know it's week three but at the same time you know when you don't us as fans and we can say this us as fans when we don't know how the game is going to go because I text y'all yesterday I'm like okay this is going to be the Bears demise they they didn't keep this field goal because at the time it was a seven to nothing game and I didn't know how the game was going to go but it would have looked a lot better to me at that time at 10 to nothing versus seven to nothing and we didn't get the three points so so but yeah you points are a premium in NFL man you have to have them well I don't know about that okay so you know we are traditionalists and we know we watch the game a certain way and we say hey you go you gotta go for it you got to kick that punt Ben Johnson's a little bit different and and in his mind he's always talking about pushing the ball down the field uh getting more points putting the the the defense in in bad situations so if that's who our coach is we're gonna have to learn how to live with the trust that he's making our trust we can't have it both ways we can't say right he said the field goal and we would win went up 10 to 10 to nothing at the same time he ends up scoring 59 points he ends up scoring 27 points so we gotta be we got at this point we gotta at least be able to live with the Ben Johnson uh experience and until you know he he's got to get smarter we love that to happen but it's you we can't have we can't teeter on both sides yeah I I mean I agree in the case I'm gonna say sometime sometimes it's bad coaching by him that doesn't mean he's a bad coach like what was that last week or the week before he goes for the ball on his own 20 that's bad coaching correct correct that's bad coaching because you actually have allowed a team an easy three points if they just take it right they don't even they can have the ball right so that's stuff where he has his maturation of decision making because if you think about it that's the kind of decision making why Detroit never made it to the Super Bowl Detroit is actually going backwards but they blew their opportunities right those decision makers got them there but those same decision making got them out of it right where they could have probably been in the Super Bowl I don't know if they won but so Ben has to figure out when to go when it when it is smart but still when football it's still always about momentum Tom Brady said it great when you drive down the field the worst thing that can happen when you get in field goal range is to not get nothing Tom Brady as a 22 year veteran said people don't want to admit it but it does deflate the offense it deflates yes it does deflates yeah and he has to be in tune with he's deflating his offense and see yesterday it was so perfect because they didn't have those drive killers right they didn't get to the goal line and have a false star they might have had one I think one time and they lost because they only had three penalties right because you think about one penalty was they had one penalty when um something you know the out of bounds thing but anyway let me dress simion coming Roma dunze ain't ready to talk about that Rome is my guy and I'm just gonna say we got to get Rome some more games and only other thing I would say is this Roma Dunze Malik neighbors and Marvin Harrison Jr.
- 27:16SPEAKER_06: At this point they have all looked kind of mid right just kind of average guys but let's give them all a couple of more games to end of the season and then we should have a better idea what kind of players they're gonna be waiting I'm not gonna go on that let me chime in on the Johnson rule the rule is if you go for it on fourth and one from your one yard line or your 20 yard line or whatever it's one simple thing you have to do.
- 27:47SPEAKER_03: You got to make it if you don't make it we are going to eviscerate you that's the rule so as long as you can live with that I don't have a problem with it and the only thing I'm gonna say about Roma Donze right now is that because he plays in a Ben Johnson offense and I understand you know what people talking about what he dropped this pass he dropped the pass but each week that game plan is put in and each player has a specific role in that offense.
- 28:26SPEAKER_03: Just like the first two games Coast and Loveland had one catch for three yards but he wasn't really involved in the passing game in those particular games yesterday Coast Loving came out I don't have the stats in front of me but I know he caught a few balls today because he was part of the game plan in that offense.
- 28:50SPEAKER_03: So that's the thing you know in a Ben Johnson offense like Khali Raymond is leading the Bears in receiving right now who would have ever thought Khalif Raymond the veteran coming over from Detroit was gonna lead the bears in receiving right now when you got a Roma Dunze and a Luther Burton but as you can see the tape oh my God it was it was so sexy man if y'all go back and watch the tape and y'all saw how Case Keener was just scheming people open I mean he was throwing the ball and they wasn't even out they routes yet tape yesterday that game yesterday was teaching tape if every young quarterback can watch that game from last night and see how Case Keenum was just throwing the ball to the spot where they were supposed to be and then everybody turned around and the ball was right there.
- 29:49SPEAKER_06: Oh my god oh my god it was so sexy it was so sexy to watch man it was so sexy to watch it looks like we got our own version of Amon Ross St.
- 30:00SPEAKER_06: Brown from the slot see what that kind of player what that slot player means in uh Ben Johnson uh defense I mean offense also I want to mention something about Colton Loveland a lot of people were upset that Colton Loveland got stopped short on the on the touchdown and he should have reached his hand at the cross or whatever he's actually following Ben Johnson's um directions.
- 30:27SPEAKER_06: Ben Johnson says he doesn't want to see guys reaching out with the ball trying to get it across the pipeline for that touchdown unless it's fourth down because there are too many guys that are going to reach for that and the ball comes out and then you end up losing the ball turning at the 20 yard line.
- 30:47SPEAKER_04: So Colson Loveland even though he didn't make it and he was stopped inch and short he actually did what the coach told him to do so I just wanted to mention that yeah that that's a great point I remember you pointing that out today right because that does happen a lot and you know the thing with Khalifa is this is really what you think when you look at last year Zacy was killing drives because he did not catch those pass wasn't it was right because he actually correct he actually had those type of routes where he was kind of by himself or right and but you know what is one that touchdown to uh Khalif Raymond man you know what one of the best free agents signed I think it's free agent or trade whatever they did free agent Joe Tooney Joe Tooney has been worth the block every dime that block he made on that play if you think about what Joe Tooney is doing man he even when he got he when they drew the offsides he made sure the ref knew that the guy jumped off sides matter of fact if you look at the uh the uh field goals joe tooney has replaced sam rouse sound rouse i i think man brother you you may have to sit the rest of the season until you ready to play man he okay he had a 14 yard catch he had he he had a 14 yard catch yesterday he had a ball he was lucky with the ball in his mouth but it was but he dropped up his own feet that was but it was a but it was a fourth and one and he caught the ball and he got 14 yards but but i actually found out i actually found out today that there is somebody on the bears coaching staff who was at stanford where he came from where sam rouse came from who vouched for him and was in ben's ear when they drafted him so just just a little inside information just a little inside I think he left a lot of catches back there at Stanford though he needed to get them and bring them into the NFL now uh yes yes indeed yes indeed but overall but overall like I say you know just a good game by the Bears last night um you know you know we made our predictions i i think banard pick took the eagles i think uh guy took the eagles um a couple of national pundits took the eagles and you know i took the bears in the close game because i didn't think that the defense was gonna do what they did but i mean again like i was telling playing off air anytime as a fan you can be at soldier field and you can keep in ha ha with people and not worried about the game being on the line because i actually got out of my seat yesterday i walked over i had some fret brothers that was in the 200 level i walked over there and was chit chatting with them because the game was already decided and we knew that the eagles had built the ass and we was able to relax so any anytime you can go to a game like that and you know and watch your team win it's a it's a good feeling man very good feeling yeah I don't know that I've seen the bears be you know dominant in all three of those phases it's it's been a long time it's it's been a long time yeah it's been a long time I'm sorry go ahead nutty yeah yeah oh yeah you know uh that's a great point plank to see them that dominant in all phases of the game because you know what we used to is traditionally they'll be good on defense then they had the years where they was on defense and special teams right then because it because matter of fact if you go back even a couple of J Colour years they actually one year they had like one of the top offenses but their defensive coordinator was no good and they was giving up like 40 and 50 burgers right so and then you look at like last year you know some of those games like they gave up a lot of points but to see them two games in a row they only gave up nine points last week no touchdowns this week they almost pitched the shutout again and then to see the offense that dominate and I think what was the most shocking yesterday and the Eagles were not ready for it they anticipated that the Bears was going to come try to run it down their throat and the bears actually opened up the game throwing the ball timing routes right they setting it up and I think the Eagles under then the Eagles actually tried to bliss a few times and you know what and one of the reasons I picked the bears to lose this game was because of the mistakes in the first two games and I had no confidence in Bradbury and I was worried about him and Braxton jump Bradbury manned up yesterday I he didn't have I don't believe he had any penalties he was keeping his guy he's kept his quarterback clean uh they had a rotation with Braxton and Theo Bended uh Braxton ended up leaving the game but even Theo Bended between the two of them rotating I don't know what their grades were but they I thought they both played a solid game man and the genius of that quarterback was brilliant I think they said they got it from Mike Marks where both guards actually pulled yeah they both guards pulled which made the interior go outside thinking it was a guards you know it was going outside play and all K Tendle did was just fall forward untouched for a touchdown man brilliant brilliant call brilliant call yeah I meant to mention this uh the forensic tackling ability of Dylan Thieneman the thing that you know that young guy is smart he's a good player he's uh plays technically exactly like you want to play defensive back what you're noticing with him though is wherever he targets to tackle the guy that guy is tackled they don't make another yard you don't see a missing tackle you don't see guys fighting and getting an extra yard as soon as he gets them on his radar they're tackled and one of the ways that that was uh contagious if you watched at the end of the game Jalen Johnson who usually doesn't really play the run at all he came up and made a heck of a tackle himself because now he's like oh is this what we're doing we tackling people for real now so I think the bears are are starting to be contagious from a uh defensive standpoint and that's definitely a a great thing Simeon you gotta you gotta let us get around man you got to get let us get around because Simeon ready to talk about everything let's go hey hey hey hey we're about to get you on the show bro it's about to get you on the show but you you got cheating out there you got Melissa you got Simeon hey they they flooding us man come on we we won't they won't smoke though thank you because there was a point in the game where uh tyree stevenson and I know we're coming off injury but he he he he he got bent yesterday and they wind up dropping Cam Lewis in their nickel and they brought Muhammad to the outside and um Muhammad he held his own malik muhammad held his own yesterday so it's gonna be very interesting man it is it's you know what what what what I'm loving about this team right now is we in week three and we didn't expect all this change you know change sometimes causes chaos you know just because everybody's scrambling but because you got a Ben Johnson who is so level headed and so key he's just like okay we're not gonna worry about this just like last night they was asking him like okay well who's gonna be your starting quarterback uh when I ain't gonna talk about that right now I ain't gonna talk about that right now let's enjoy this moment and then we'll get and then we'll get back to work on Wednesday we're coming off we already on a short week so we're gonna come back Wednesday and then we're gonna talk about it but yeah Muhammad uh he he played some good snaps he played some good snaps last night man these those two rookies right now uh Muhammad and Thieneman are right now vying for rookie of the year on this team I don't know if it's rookie of the year in the NFL but rookie of the year for this team right now uh Malik Mohammed and uh Dylan Thienman are doing their thing well we can get rid of Sam Ross the whole entire rookie class has been playing some ball he's he's the only one that's kind of waiting them down man you know what I you know how you could give Mohammed a whole lot of credit is because you don't hear his name being called absolutely you don't hear you don't absolutely right and sometimes you don't bring up a player like him because there's nothing you know it's nothing going on but it's actually great because you don't see him chasing guys you don't see his guy right he moved from the he moved from the nipple to the corner and you don't hear his name my concern at times is Jalen Johnson right I'm seeing Jalen but you know what to his credit Jalen made an excellent read on the play last night where they was running some type of receiver screen or something and Jalen diagnosed that play got in there shut that play down the tackling has improved on the defense since you know you want it every week right because the tough part about tackling in the NFL is because I think the way these teams are using is they're saving their tackle sessions to later in the season because of these scrimmages yeah because of these scrimmages they allow the tackle a lot of these teams are not using as many tackle days during uh training camp as they used to use in the past you don't have too many days you have about like maybe 17 practice sessions somewhere there between 15 and 17 but a lot of teams are now pushing them off so what you get the first two or three weeks is a lot of bad tackling because the guys are not tackling that much especially since they're not playing preseason so I I thought the bears rallied around the ball quick whenever somebody touched the ball even if the first guy didn't bring them down there was two or three guys there you know trying to bring that guy down making them and uh at one point uh uh they on the bench and they show the Eagles bench and you know what they was looking at each other almost like hey man you know not again what you watching on Netflix later but but now to go back to what you said about last year's game and how the bears ran the football down their throat and I think Fangio was kind of thinking that Ben was gonna do that again but he came out slinging the rock and I was like okay I was like we ain't running the football right now but the thing about it the beauty about it is Ben stayed consistent with the run and in the second half it paid off because I mean they was running into a brick wall in the first half I don't have the stats in front of me but they was running into a brick wall in the first half but he was able to even kill it like I'm not gonna I'm I'm not gonna stop running the football but if I have to five seven 10 12 you down the field I'm gonna do that and then and it was successful in the first half like I said Case King was 11 or 12 against the blitz last night and and and Fangio don't blitz a lot that that's not his scheme.
- 42:55SPEAKER_03: But in the second half they was Manungai and Swift was able to run the football and as we was looking at the clock because that third quarter seemed like it took so long we was like oh my God this is this clock is just going so slow.
- 43:13SPEAKER_03: But they had an eight minute an eight minute plus drive that resulted in a touchdown and then that's when you can see the momentum shifting and when they came out on the second and when they came out on the next drive all you saw was running the football running the football it's third and one up we'll pop the screen over here up we'll pop this uh slant over here so it was just a great overall effort and again I think being johnson as usual was playing chess and not checkers it was it was the beautiful thing man i like what they that they didn't get away from the running game there's a different running game when we go on with Swift versus when we going with Manon guy Swift is gonna try to bounce outside you know use it
- 44:00SPEAKER_06: His visibility, use his speed.
- 44:02SPEAKER_06: Monongay is a rolling ball of butcher knife.
- 44:06SPEAKER_06: He is gonna try to run the ball.
- 44:09SPEAKER_06: Anybody that look like they're gonna tackle him, they look at him like, come on, let's see what you got.
- 44:15SPEAKER_06: We're gonna have a collision.
- 44:17SPEAKER_06: So that dude, I have utmost confidence in that young man.
- 44:21SPEAKER_06: He's only in his second year, but every time he gets out there with the ball, he's secure with the ball and he's gonna give it all he has.
- 44:30SPEAKER_06: So that's that's the difference.
- 44:32SPEAKER_06: I think a lot of that is the difference.
- 44:34SPEAKER_06: How the second half we had a much better running game.
- 44:38SPEAKER_06: Also, I wanted to mention this about Muhammad.
- 44:41SPEAKER_06: Mohammed is playing so well, nobody mentions Kyler Gordon anymore.
- 44:47SPEAKER_03: Nope.
- 44:48SPEAKER_03: Nope.
- 44:49unknown: Nope.
- 44:49SPEAKER_06: We can count less if he come back.
- 44:51SPEAKER_03: We won't just kid because you're exactly right.
- 44:56SPEAKER_03: Because the bottom line is if you're not available and we don't see you, we're not thinking about you.
- 45:01SPEAKER_03: Because all we're thinking about is who's available and who's making plays on the field.
- 45:05SPEAKER_03: But when you mention uh the running game and you talked about uh Swift and Manungai, when I tell you Mononga, everybody understands was called for Manungai uh in that fourth quarter.
- 45:16SPEAKER_03: They was like, this is a Mononga play.
- 45:18SPEAKER_03: Don't give it to Swift, give it to Mononga, because they know that three yards in the cloud of dust, Monungai is gonna get you them that he's gonna get you those tough yards, man.
- 45:28SPEAKER_03: And like you say, he's so secure with the football.
- 45:30SPEAKER_03: You know, so so it was it was last night felt like the 20, I wanna say maybe the 2018 season, Naggies, Naggies year when the Bears went to the playoffs when they was 12, when they was 12 and 5.
- 45:48SPEAKER_03: That's what last night felt like at Soldier Field.
- 45:52SPEAKER_03: It was like a a calm confidence that they came out the locker room with.
- 45:59SPEAKER_03: And it and it oozed out, it's it oozed out to us as fans.
- 46:03SPEAKER_03: And we was like, okay, we're not even really, we're not even really worried about this because they made it look on the field so easy.
- 46:12SPEAKER_03: And like I say, when Case Keenan was dropping back, it was like one, two, three step, one, two, three drop, one, two, three throw, one, two, three.
- 46:19SPEAKER_03: And that was on almost every play.
- 46:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 46:24SPEAKER_03: So great win, great win last night.
- 46:29SPEAKER_03: Great win last night.
- 46:31SPEAKER_06: You know, I you know when I knew Case Keenan was really cooking, they had a uh a defensive end that was unblocked, that came at him, and he just calmly lobbed it over his head.
- 46:45SPEAKER_06: So that was there was nobody, nobody blocked him.
- 46:49SPEAKER_06: This had to take place in about two seconds.
- 46:53SPEAKER_03: He didn't panic and he was like, uh, I was like yeah, he was he was he was Tom Brady's last night because he was like sidestepping people, you know, people was rusty, he would like kind of sidestep him and get rid of the ball.
- 47:07SPEAKER_03: He changed his arm angle a couple of times last night.
- 47:11SPEAKER_03: So overall, overall, it was a good thing.
- 47:14SPEAKER_03: But let's talk about the Jets and not to go into the pregame with the Jets.
- 47:20SPEAKER_03: But who do you start against the Jets on Sunday?
- 47:25SPEAKER_03: Let's see.
- 47:25SPEAKER_03: Do you do you go with Case Keenum or do you go with Tyson Bajer because he's your backup?
- 47:31SPEAKER_03: You paid him the money, and he's your second string quarterback.
- 47:35SPEAKER_03: Who do you go with?
- 47:37SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna go with the guy that's 38 years old and got one or two more games left in his life.
- 47:44SPEAKER_06: So uh he already showed he's a coach on the field.
- 47:47SPEAKER_06: Uh, I like what he's bringing.
- 47:49SPEAKER_06: Uh, and at the end of the day, uh Bajant just cleared the concussion protocol.
- 47:56SPEAKER_06: You can use it as an excuse to have him be the emergency quarterback just in case.
- 48:02SPEAKER_06: There's no reason uh to kind of stop the coach on the field that we had yesterday in Case Keenum.
- 48:08SPEAKER_06: Let's see if he can back in.
- 48:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I kind of agree with you.
- 48:12SPEAKER_03: I kind of agree with you, Clank.
- 48:13SPEAKER_03: Uh, that I think you should start Case Keenum, that Ben should start Case Keenum this week, but I think just because Ben is the mad scientist, he he's gonna go with Tyson Page.
- 48:24SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm already certain, and I have no connection at Hollis Hall at all, but I'm almost certain that he's gonna go with Tyson Bage.
- 48:35SPEAKER_06: And I'm I'm confident in either one of them against the Jets, by the way.
- 48:39SPEAKER_04: So yeah, Jets looked a little bit better uh so far through two games, but you know what?
- 48:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they have it's hard not to Geno Smith is always gonna uh give us those picks, you know.
- 48:51SPEAKER_04: He's one of those quarterbacks to mean that you you would get two or three good games out of him, and then all of a sudden, then like game three or four, you start realizing that's why he's he's probably should be a backup, but um but you know what?
- 49:08SPEAKER_04: I'm not the coach.
- 49:13SPEAKER_04: I would I would I would I would start Case Kennam because he actually has more experience.
- 49:19SPEAKER_04: Uh Tyson Bajin has four games starting as a quarterback.
- 49:24SPEAKER_04: The last time I believe he started a game was 2022.
- 49:28SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, and that that last game he played, I want to say he threw three interceptions in that game, and it was against New Orleans, if I remember correctly.
- 49:39SPEAKER_04: So I understand that money does play a part in your future, but you have to get you have to to me keep the chemistry of the team in football is about momentum.
- 49:51SPEAKER_04: It is you know, you you try to hold it down as much as you can, and those guys you got throws from Case Kenham that you would not get out of Tyson Bajan.
- 50:03SPEAKER_04: I mean, I mean, you know, and I like Tyson Bajan, but some of those throws you got out of case, you wouldn't have got them from you know uh Tyson Bajing last night.
- 50:12SPEAKER_06: Well, the other thing we have to keep in mind is it's a 17-game season.
- 50:18SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
- 50:18SPEAKER_06: So us being so excited about every game, you gotta look at it as a coach from from the who is gonna be able to step up every week.
- 50:29SPEAKER_06: We gotta uh we got three more weeks or so in order to get Caleb Widgets back.
- 50:35SPEAKER_06: So you might end up playing both of them because again, we never know what's gonna happen in that.
- 50:41SPEAKER_06: Uh so uh we know that Case uh Keenum uh just got a nice flow going or whatever.
- 50:47SPEAKER_06: I actually don't care which one we go with, but I think it makes more sense to go with Case Keenum, especially because you know this guy hadn't played in a while, and he only got so many uh more games left in him anyway.
- 51:00SPEAKER_03: And see, my thing is I'm like you playing, I don't care who play quarterback as long as we win.
- 51:05SPEAKER_03: Right, I really don't care as much as I like Tyson Badges.
- 51:08SPEAKER_03: I totally agree.
- 51:10SPEAKER_03: Uh you can't you can't mess up the moment, yeah, yeah, and that's my thing.
- 51:14SPEAKER_03: That's my thing.
- 51:15SPEAKER_03: But knowing Ben Johnson as the mad scientist, he he's actually kind of like a narcissist.
- 51:21SPEAKER_03: They don't try to he's a narcissist when it comes to when he comes when it comes, not as a person, I don't know him personally, but as a football coach, he's kind of like a narcissist.
- 51:31SPEAKER_03: He he wants to be the villain, he wants to be he wants to be joker.
- 51:36SPEAKER_03: You you know what I'm saying?
- 51:38SPEAKER_03: And it's a batman out there, he wants to be joker.
- 51:41SPEAKER_03: Well, you know what?
- 51:42SPEAKER_03: You know what I'm saying?
- 51:43SPEAKER_03: So it's like he like, and and I so for that reason, I actually think he's gonna go with Tyson Bajer just because I I think I think we might have him a little bit wrong.
- 51:53SPEAKER_06: Ben Johnson is a computer scientist and engineer, he's got an analytic mind.
- 51:59SPEAKER_06: So in his mind, he's looking at facts and data, and this is what the facts and data tell him what to do.
- 52:06SPEAKER_06: We're emotional when we're watching him make those decisions, but that doesn't mean he's emotional and he's even viewing it in the same light.
- 52:14SPEAKER_06: A lot of times, from engineers of view, if you work with any of these guys, uh they are not very talkative.
- 52:22SPEAKER_06: They're when they start talking about things, they'll be talking about AI and all of this stuff.
- 52:27SPEAKER_06: Things that the regular person ain't just gonna talk about anyway.
- 52:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right.
- 52:36SPEAKER_06: Sounds like the riddle.
- 52:37SPEAKER_06: I like it.
- 52:39SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but as far as the performance last night, as far as grades, um I'm uh I'm I'm gonna give I'm gonna give the offense an A.
- 52:48SPEAKER_03: You know, uh, we had three penalties.
- 52:51SPEAKER_03: I can't, I like I said, I don't have the stats in front of me.
- 52:53SPEAKER_03: We had three penals, penalties total uh yesterday, and and and that's a step down from where we've been.
- 53:00SPEAKER_03: We descending, you know, in penalties.
- 53:03SPEAKER_03: So that's a good thing.
- 53:04SPEAKER_03: But you got to get an offense an A, man, because when I tell you every the whole operation just looks so clean.
- 53:11SPEAKER_03: You know, it looks so clean.
- 53:14SPEAKER_03: Even the even the running plays that where we may have lost a yard or we didn't get a game, everything was clean yesterday on the offensive side of the football.
- 53:25SPEAKER_03: And you can't ask for nothing more than that from a third string quarterback.
- 53:29SPEAKER_03: You know, the defense, y'all gave up a touchdown with one second left in the first half.
- 53:36SPEAKER_03: And y'all pitched a shutout in the second half.
- 53:39SPEAKER_03: And again, like I say, you know, we led the league in turnovers last year.
- 53:43SPEAKER_03: Uh people said it wasn't sustainable, but we had three turnovers yesterday.
- 53:47SPEAKER_03: We had three turnovers in week one, uh week two, and I think we had two in week one.
- 53:52SPEAKER_03: So if I'm counting that correctly, we got eight turnovers in three games uh for the season.
- 53:57SPEAKER_03: So is it sustainable?
- 53:59SPEAKER_03: The stats make the stats right now say it is, but yeah, you know, it's more to come.
- 54:05SPEAKER_03: Special teams, I'm gonna get him a B.
- 54:08SPEAKER_03: I don't know what's up with Carlos Santos where he's not kicking his ball in the landing zone and giving this and giving the team the ball on the 40-yard line.
- 54:15SPEAKER_03: And then Sam Rouse, you know, touching the touching the football with his foot, winding up touching the goal line and giving the Eagles the ball on the 20.
- 54:24SPEAKER_03: Uh coaching, uh, I I I give Ben an A because he came out and he stayed he stared Vic Faggio in the face.
- 54:35SPEAKER_03: And he was like, You think I'm gonna run the ball?
- 54:37SPEAKER_03: No, I'm I'm I'm gonna come out.
- 54:38SPEAKER_03: I'm not gonna change my game plan.
- 54:40SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna come out.
- 54:41SPEAKER_03: I am gonna run the football, but I'm gonna think and dunk you down the field.
- 54:44SPEAKER_03: And that's what he did, which opened up the running game in the second half, which allowed us to salt the clock away uh in the second half.
- 54:53SPEAKER_03: And uh defense, I'm gonna give uh uh uh DA, I'm gonna give him an A plus just because they literally shut down the Eagles offense, which is a whole nother subject because the Eagles offense don't didn't look good at all yesterday.
- 55:09SPEAKER_03: Um and special teams, like I say, special teams, uh high tower, your you know, your team get a B.
- 55:15SPEAKER_03: So those are my grades for last night's performance.
- 55:20SPEAKER_06: Huh?
- 55:21SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 55:22SPEAKER_06: Well, I guess if we're giving grades, uh offense, I give offense an A.
- 55:26SPEAKER_06: Uh, you know, again, we're playing with a third, uh, third quarterback.
- 55:30SPEAKER_06: Uh you know, we we took a couple big hits earlier in the week.
- 55:36SPEAKER_06: Not only did we lose our starting quarterback, but we lost his first backup.
- 55:42SPEAKER_06: So we're down to a QB three before we even take a snap.
- 55:46SPEAKER_06: And they they ended up turning out that kind of offense performance.
- 55:49SPEAKER_06: Uh that's that's elite.
- 55:51SPEAKER_06: And I'm gonna give uh Ben Johnson an A on that.
- 55:55SPEAKER_06: Defense A plus.
- 55:56SPEAKER_06: I'm glad that uh Dennis Allen finally gets some of his flowers.
- 56:01SPEAKER_06: You know, a lot of people, there's been a lot of talk about getting rid of him, and maybe he's not performing like he needs to.
- 56:08SPEAKER_06: And you know, his major issue was he didn't have the players that he wanted.
- 56:13SPEAKER_06: Uh his defensive linemen are a lot more indicative of the defensive lineman that he's had traditionally.
- 56:19SPEAKER_06: Uh, from a kicking game, uh, I'll give it an A minus.
- 56:24SPEAKER_06: Uh, you're right, uh Jay, about um Santos not doing well on the the kickoffs and all of that.
- 56:32SPEAKER_06: But on the other hand, he did make uh two field goals.
- 56:36SPEAKER_06: Uh coverage was good, and you know, Sam Roch he doesn't take away from that that great play uh trying to down the ball at the two-yard line, as far as I'm concerned.
- 56:48SPEAKER_06: So that's my assessment.
- 56:50SPEAKER_06: What you got, Nutty?
- 56:52SPEAKER_04: Okay, he I agree.
- 56:54SPEAKER_04: Hold on, let me get back on the screen.
- 56:55SPEAKER_04: I agree with everything that was said.
- 56:58SPEAKER_04: I was just looking at the time of the possession.
- 57:00SPEAKER_04: The Bears had the ball 36 36 minutes and 53 seconds, and the Eagles had the ball 23 minutes and seven seconds.
- 57:10SPEAKER_04: I mean, you a team possessing the ball 23 seconds in an NFL 60-minute game.
- 57:16SPEAKER_04: I mean, that's equivalent to barely a quarter and a half of a possession.
- 57:22SPEAKER_04: So that that explains how dominant they were, and because they ended now, you could possess the ball like that and don't get points, right?
- 57:30SPEAKER_04: You could have a low-scoring game, but the Bears took advantage of those opportunities.
- 57:34SPEAKER_04: So offensively, I give them an A because they took they scored on those possessions, they just didn't have the ball just to have it.
- 57:42SPEAKER_04: Defensively, they had to get an A plus because they they sacked the quarterback, they got two official sacks, but they had a where Jalen Hurts barely got to the line of scrimmage.
- 57:53SPEAKER_04: They also had uh attentional grounding that they called on uh Jalen Hurts, where they made him hurry up and throw the ball.
- 58:02SPEAKER_04: They also had another play where they intercepted the backup quarterback, and they also had several interceptions that you know possible interceptions that were dropped, so that was actually making the offense even uncomfortable, even in that aspect, right?
- 58:17SPEAKER_04: Because even when the guy doesn't pick the ball off, you are starting to get concerned when a guy is you know you know grabbing the ball, and one of the most brilliant things I saw in this game was when uh TJ Elvis came up and he was right in his face of his old teammate, and he must have knew what that play was.
- 58:40SPEAKER_04: He bagged right into the flat and picked the ball off on that same play that he was staring them down.
- 58:48SPEAKER_04: So I give them an A plus special teams, I get them a B, and I do want to make a correction.
- 58:54SPEAKER_04: I was hurrying up, I seen from Simeon that I made a mistake on something.
- 58:57SPEAKER_04: I was saying I said the Bears have 15 minutes of tackling, but I actually was trying to say the Bears have 15 sessions, 15 to 17 sessions of tackling all season and not 15 minutes of tackling.
- 59:13SPEAKER_04: So that just means throughout the training camp and to the end of the season, you only get so many tackle sessions, and so teams kind of divvy them up.
- 59:23SPEAKER_04: So I just want to make sure that point was clear.
- 59:25SPEAKER_06: I just looked at the scorecard and I didn't I didn't realize the Bears didn't give up any sacks on Office.
- 59:32SPEAKER_03: No, no, they didn't, no, they didn't, no, they didn't.
- 59:35SPEAKER_03: He did not get sacked not one time.
- 59:37SPEAKER_03: I mean, like like I said, last night was an elite performance, and like I said, any young quarterback in the NFL in college in high school, if you want to know what elite quarterback ain't looking like, look at that film from last night, man.
- 59:56SPEAKER_03: Because CJ uh uh uh uh uh case kingdom did some things last night against the blitz, and just overall, where he wasn't pressured, he wasn't rushed, he just did he was throwing the spots.
- 1:00:14SPEAKER_03: He was he was throwing last night was the perfect example of you throwing your wide receivers open.
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_03: And if your wide receivers are good, they're gonna make those plays.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_03: I seen a play with Luther Burton on the cross end where Luther Burton had even started the cross, and the ball was already in the air.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_03: That passed.
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that pass that pass that Roma Dunze caught that deep out, uh the deep slant to the sideline.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_03: That ball was out of case kingdom's hands before O'Dunze made his break, and he caught the ball and was it I mean, elite, elite.
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_03: That was some special stuff last night by that guy, Case Keenum.
- 1:01:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and you know what?
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_04: It's kind of like you know, I'm gonna use Plank as a reference, you know, the martial artists, right?
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_04: They show it in the movie, and one stay, you know, like the movie.
- 1:01:14SPEAKER_04: Um, I forget the movie from the 70s where the guy was like, Who's the master?
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_04: He said, I'm the master, right?
- 1:01:20SPEAKER_04: But last dragon, that last dragon when it all slowed down.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_04: So Case Kennam has been a quarterback at times that have you know, and I'm not saying he's the best quarterback on, I'm just saying played an excellent game, right?
- 1:01:35SPEAKER_04: His last outing was not a good outing, and Case has always been kind of like the quarterback.
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_04: I always could say him and Fitz Magic was like the same type of guys, but they would have been three or four games, you'd just be like Fitch Magic, killing it.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_04: Why is he on the bench?
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_04: Case would have those kind of games last night.
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_04: Man, I felt like Case was like that master guy that he knows he needed to prove to even himself, and to you know, I think he even made a comment about like, man, you know, I kind of like wonder that I have it now, right?
- 1:02:12SPEAKER_04: And I was kind of had reservation about it, but all the stuff that he's been telling Kate Kaden Williams, he's been telling uh um the backup quarterback Bajan, he was able to display it, right?
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_04: And they was able to see, like, man, this is what it looks like, man.
- 1:02:29SPEAKER_04: And you have to be happy for a guy like that, man.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_03: He like for the game playing for my children, and for them to see their papa, they dad, or whatever they call yeah, because the last time he played, they wasn't able to actually see him play the game.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_03: So for them to actually see him play the game, I I know I know they had to be pretty special too.
- 1:02:53SPEAKER_03: Absolutely, I know they had to be pretty special for him.
- 1:02:56SPEAKER_04: So I'm so they let's get we get ready for the Jets game.
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_04: Hey, what's what's your first thoughts, Plank?
- 1:03:01SPEAKER_04: I know we just not the pregame, but what's your thoughts getting ready for this Jets game?
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_04: I mean, I know you made a comment earlier, but what do you think as far as that?
- 1:03:09SPEAKER_06: Well, I I think we get we gotta uh keep our foot on the on the gas, you know.
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_06: Uh one of the things that we keep saying as you know, as a Bears team, and you know, the rest of us are are picking that up, is that good got better best, you know, and you're always saying that.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_06: But what that actually is, is you know, perfect is actually the enemy of good.
- 1:03:29SPEAKER_06: What would you rather do?
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_06: Aim for perfect and miss it, or aim for good and make it.
- 1:03:34SPEAKER_06: So I think the bears actually have our identity, and it is that we're gonna put our foot to the metal and try to overcome people, no matter who we're playing.
- 1:03:45SPEAKER_06: Last year, the Bears, we played a whole lot of games down to whoever our competition was.
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_06: So, what Ben Johnson is trying to say is we don't care who we're playing against, we're gonna go pedal to the metal against all of them.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_06: So that said, I think that the uh his uh game plan is to continue doing what he does, run the ball where effective or where it's needed by the same token, still look for those big tough plays.
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_06: I think we can exploit the Jets uh from uh uh their defense.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_06: Uh, we're playing against Aaron Glenn, who used to be the defensive coordinator against Ben Johnson.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_06: So I'm pretty sure Ben Johnson's got a couple little tidbits that he can exploit there.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_06: So I think the Bears are are shored up and ready uh for this game, and um I'm excited to see it even in a short week.
- 1:04:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and and I just think you know, I I like their approach because they are like because you know, we always say this is a week to week lead, you know, because this week three was wacky.
- 1:04:54SPEAKER_03: I'll text y'all, I'll tell you yesterday Sunday, like, okay, what's going on?
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_03: Week three is it's been it was week three was wacky, and it's it it's a week-to-week lead, and I like that Dan Johnson and the Bears, they look at it like that, like you know, even after week one, when people was in the press conference telling Ben like, y'all scored 59 points last week, he was like, We scored zero this week.
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_03: We ain't scored no points this week.
- 1:05:20SPEAKER_03: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:05:21SPEAKER_03: So for them to be able to keep it at a week-to-week thing, and I think that's what keeps them moving forward.
- 1:05:30SPEAKER_03: So uh this week is not gonna be any different from any other week.
- 1:05:33SPEAKER_03: He's not gonna look at like I used to coach with Aaron Glenn.
- 1:05:37SPEAKER_03: You know, he was the defensive coordinator, I was the offensive coordinator for Dan Campbell.
- 1:05:42SPEAKER_03: I don't think he's gonna look at it like that.
- 1:05:43SPEAKER_03: He's looking at who the opponent is and what we need to do to win the football game.
- 1:05:51SPEAKER_06: I got you.
- 1:05:53SPEAKER_03: So I I'm excited about it.
- 1:05:55SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be three weeks in a row at Solza Field.
- 1:05:58SPEAKER_03: So I'm so I'm Looking forward to getting this over with to get a break.
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_03: Uh, but yeah, so so let's just look forward to uh playing the jets this week.
- 1:06:08SPEAKER_06: We might have to come down there and join you, Jay.
- 1:06:11SPEAKER_03: Hey, I'll keep telling y'all, man.
- 1:06:13SPEAKER_03: Y'all better come, y'all better come get some.
- 1:06:16SPEAKER_03: Y'all better come get some, man.
- 1:06:18SPEAKER_03: Y'all better come get some.
- 1:06:19SPEAKER_03: And before we close, before we close out, I just want to say, since when did the NFL start uh flexing games in week five and moving them back?
- 1:06:34SPEAKER_06: What's going on with that?
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_03: So the Bears, the Packers got flexed from 325 to 12 o'clock.
- 1:06:45SPEAKER_03: What is the NFL?
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_06: We don't want to see that, Master, because nobody wants to see that.
- 1:06:49SPEAKER_03: What is the NFL?
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_03: I'm like, so the NFL is speaking out right now, like uh the Packers ain't good enough for them to be America's game.
- 1:06:57SPEAKER_03: Let's just put them back at 12 o'clock.
- 1:06:59SPEAKER_03: I was stunned because one of the guys I work with, one yeah, you're right, you're right, Simeon.
- 1:07:05SPEAKER_03: One of the guys I work with, he texted me early this morning.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_03: He's a Packers fan.
- 1:07:08SPEAKER_03: He was like, man, he was like the uh Green Bay game got flexed and new.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, okay, I ain't seen this nowhere.
- 1:07:15SPEAKER_03: But then I got the Paris notification.
- 1:07:17SPEAKER_03: I was like, wow.
- 1:07:18SPEAKER_03: I was like, wow.
- 1:07:20SPEAKER_03: So what is the NFL saying that the Packers ain't that good?
- 1:07:25SPEAKER_03: That they can be America's game, and we can put somebody else in that tab slot.
- 1:07:31SPEAKER_06: No, I don't like it.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_06: They watch us get whooped for 30 years ago.
- 1:07:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_06: Yeah, now that our big brother didn't grow that grew up and he got muscles.
- 1:07:44SPEAKER_06: I want to see them take these butt kickings now.
- 1:07:47SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because I'm not I'm definitely not happy about that.
- 1:07:50SPEAKER_03: That that game is being flexed to a 12 o'clock game.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_03: But I mean, it is what it is.
- 1:07:55SPEAKER_03: Just because, like I said, it's week five.
- 1:07:57SPEAKER_03: You know, normally the flexes don't start to week 14, I think.
- 1:08:01SPEAKER_03: But y'all gonna flex a game from week five, so it is what it is.
- 1:08:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah, man.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_04: I mean, I don't know if some Green Bay Packers fans then got hold of my feed, man, but they keep they keep crashing me out tonight.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_06: But just like the bears, they can't stop you either.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_06: So that you're right, right.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_04: I don't get to a backup plan.
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_04: I got myself all on uh sitting back just in case, you know, man.
- 1:08:31SPEAKER_04: You know, they did they just such haters, man.
- 1:08:33SPEAKER_04: They they always gonna try to find a way, so they probably didn't hack into my stream and like, man, they talking too good, man.
- 1:08:39SPEAKER_04: Let's let's uh shut this down.
- 1:08:43SPEAKER_04: But yeah, man, I'm looking forward to this game.
- 1:08:45SPEAKER_04: But Jay, that's interesting what you were saying about them flexing the game, and you know what?
- 1:08:50SPEAKER_04: The Bears nationally is the talk right now.
- 1:08:55SPEAKER_04: You know, when you turn on you know some of these national shows, they're talking about the Bears.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_04: You know, you actually coming into the season, you thought the conversation was gonna be about the Rams, you know, because the Rams was kind of like the paper, chaper champs that was supposed to be, but it looked like uh the bears uh leading the conversation right now.
- 1:09:16SPEAKER_03: They're leading the conversation without their starting quarterback, so that says a lot.
- 1:09:21SPEAKER_06: You know, but there was there was one thing I wanted to mention here that I forgot all about.
- 1:09:26SPEAKER_06: I'm tired of Troy Aikman and his hate for the Bears.
- 1:09:31SPEAKER_06: Before I thought it was hate just because Caleb Williams was the quarterback, but he was out there, no matter what the Bears did, he was like, Oh, the Eagles are about to score.
- 1:09:41SPEAKER_06: I'm like, wait a minute, is this a Dallas quarterback?
- 1:09:44SPEAKER_06: He can't stand the Eagles.
- 1:09:46SPEAKER_06: So think about how deep his hatred of the Bears.
- 1:09:56SPEAKER_06: I'm tired of Troy Troy Eggman.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_06: Is it time to get him replaced?
- 1:10:02SPEAKER_04: It may be about that time.
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_04: He, you know, tomorrow we we um on this same network.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_04: Uh quick quick will be back out of bounds.
- 1:10:11SPEAKER_04: This will be his fourth segment of out of bounds, man.
- 1:10:15SPEAKER_04: And I know it's gonna be crazy.
- 1:10:17SPEAKER_04: You know, quick quick, quick, man.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_04: You don't know what's gonna happen, man.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_04: And it's not to talk about.
- 1:10:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he got a lot to talk about, man.
- 1:10:25SPEAKER_04: I want to hear quick talk about that's not NFL related.
- 1:10:29SPEAKER_04: I want to see if he's gonna have any insight that the referees uh in the Chicago area land, Chicago area have decided to not call any more CPS games because of not being paid.
- 1:10:45SPEAKER_04: So I want to see like what effect is that gonna have on games coming up this weekend.
- 1:10:49SPEAKER_04: I don't know if these games are gonna be called off or whatever, but I know he's gonna talk about that.
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_04: And then Thursday, we'll be back on this same channel around the same time with Christian Jones.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_04: I know he's gonna have a lot of stuff talking about the player Case Keenum and stuff like that, because that'll be the two-minute drill.
- 1:11:08SPEAKER_04: Then we'll be back here on Friday, you know, talking about the pregame with the Jets versus Bears and giving our intake and insights on our opinions.
- 1:11:17SPEAKER_04: And we got a lot going on, man.
- 1:11:19SPEAKER_06: And when is the pastor doing his his picks?
- 1:11:22SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, then I'm sorry.
