- 1:36SPEAKER_03: We doing we try and the NFL is all season long, and Bears Banner Sports Network.
- 1:42SPEAKER_03: We trying to do the same thing.
- 1:44SPEAKER_05: We like Voltron, man.
- 1:45SPEAKER_05: We got a whole lot of little parts, but then on Fridays and Sundays, we all come together.
- 1:50SPEAKER_03: We all come together as one big robot.
- 1:52SPEAKER_02: Well, we need some more shark absorbers on that bears banner wagon because it's getting really pretty heavy after that 59 burger last week.
- 2:00SPEAKER_05: Hey, I gotta look, I find that why I got a knife.
- 2:04SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna give them a fake wagon and let them get in and just push them off a ledge somewhere and make them land in Green Bay or something.
- 2:09SPEAKER_03: But but you know what, you know what?
- 2:12SPEAKER_03: I just love when the bears are good, yeah.
- 2:16SPEAKER_03: Because the bottom line is the city go crazy.
- 2:19SPEAKER_03: I think there was a guy that posted that video, they had a watch party at the damn round woods.
- 2:25SPEAKER_05: Man, it was bananas.
- 2:26SPEAKER_03: It had to be about two, it had to be about two, three hundred people there, and I was like, oh my god, and then I was seeing neighborhoods where they would set the streets down and they would put up a big screen in the middle of the street, and everybody and all the neighbors and the residents would come out, everybody had their grills going, you know.
- 2:49SPEAKER_03: It's such a beautiful thing.
- 2:51SPEAKER_03: And then when we got the White Sox in the first place, the Cubs in playoff contention, and we got the Bears going.
- 2:58SPEAKER_03: I'm so happy for the city, just because as the third largest market, uh the look the third largest market, we need to be able to have some winning teams, man.
- 3:08SPEAKER_03: So it's just good to see, you know, this type of atmosphere in the city.
- 3:13SPEAKER_03: Because it one thing I can say, if I've said it so many times, you know, sports takes your mind off of a lot of things.
- 3:21SPEAKER_03: I don't know about everybody, but I know you know, sports takes my mind out, uh, you know, uh takes my mind off a lot of things, man.
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: And that's a good thing, even if it's temporary, you know, like on Sundays, you know, I I know I got a 12-hour football day, and that's 12 hours of my life where I know I'm just like locked in and tuned in and not really thinking about a lot of things, you know.
- 3:43SPEAKER_03: So it's good that um the city right now has some uh winning uh teams right now.
- 3:50SPEAKER_05: I tell you what though, what one thing that you can say if you're married or you got a lady and your lady's a bears fan, and you say you're going to watch a bears game, she ain't gonna try to call you because she knows that you are absolutely there.
- 4:03SPEAKER_05: Like, I'm gonna be at the bear.
- 4:04SPEAKER_05: Okay, I'll see you later.
- 4:05SPEAKER_05: Because if you're a bears fan, but the the testament to us, man, is black people, man.
- 4:10SPEAKER_05: We don't need bells and whistles, all we need is air and opportunity.
- 4:13SPEAKER_05: And that thing in the air, Ryan, someone I know went there, they say it was beautiful, man.
- 4:17SPEAKER_05: I love to see that.
- 4:18SPEAKER_05: I love that the bears are doing well, the people being more proactive to do things, man.
- 4:23SPEAKER_05: Let's get this city popping, baby.
- 4:25SPEAKER_02: Well, you know what?
- 4:26SPEAKER_02: Chicago is one of the best sports towns in the entire 100 states, but no team drive Chicago like Chicago Bears.
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: We're losing a draw, we're losing a draw.
- 4:40SPEAKER_05: It's the truth.
- 4:41SPEAKER_05: You see a fist fight between Cubs and Sox fans, but then a Bears game come out there like, all right, we can do this later.
- 4:47SPEAKER_05: And that's real talk.
- 4:48SPEAKER_05: That's real talk.
- 4:50SPEAKER_04: Hey, that is so true.
- 4:52SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's good to see the excitement of uh uh when bears are winning.
- 4:57SPEAKER_04: It's something special.
- 4:59SPEAKER_04: I think about when the Bears were about to draft Caleb Williams, and one of the pitches to him was, you know, of course, he was like he has some reservation about it.
- 5:09SPEAKER_04: And Ryan Ryan Pose told him, You come to Chicago and you win, you know, it's gonna, you know, Bracie's it's gonna be something special, right?
- 5:21SPEAKER_04: And he was saying that was one of the things that sold him too.
- 5:24SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, okay, like he really telling me some good things about Chicago, so let me kind of look into it.
- 5:30SPEAKER_04: And that's when he said he started studying Chicago sports people and seeing, and now when you hear him talk about being in Chicago, like man, he was like, Man, he was see.
- 5:41SPEAKER_04: I heard him on a podcast, and he was like, Man, you start driving towards the city, and if it's a night game, you'll see blue, blue, and orange on the buildings at night, right?
- 5:54SPEAKER_05: I'm happy, man.
- 5:55SPEAKER_05: I'm happy.
- 5:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we definitely need to come.
- 5:57SPEAKER_02: Well, and his wallet's gonna go up because if he wins a super bowl or a couple super bowls, he'll never have to buy a drink or dinner in Chicago again.
- 6:05SPEAKER_02: Ever again.
- 6:05SPEAKER_05: If he wins once, if he wears one super bowl, probably at this point, like yeah, right now, the fact that he's here and who he is and his performance, man.
- 6:17SPEAKER_05: This dude can walk at four o'clock in the morning anywhere in Chicago by himself with a big thick chain on the whole nine, and ain't nobody gonna bother.
- 6:26SPEAKER_02: I don't know, because it didn't say great for Justin Smole when he was walking.
- 6:32SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but but but but see, here's the deal though.
- 6:35SPEAKER_05: He it was MAGA MAGA beat him up like really.
- 6:42SPEAKER_05: I mean, he's like on I mean, I'm not saying on the level, but like with Father Michael Flager.
- 6:47SPEAKER_05: Father Michael Flager, you can airdrop him anywhere in Chicago and people don't know nobody, especially on the south side.
- 6:52SPEAKER_05: He can walk from eastern 79th to west of 79th at any time he wants with Caleb Williams right now, and especially with the Bears winning, everybody knows who he is, you know.
- 7:02SPEAKER_04: So I yeah, yeah, I believe it was this, I think it was Tuesday on uh Quick Show.
- 7:10SPEAKER_04: Uh uh what's it what is his name, Quick Show?
- 7:12SPEAKER_04: Um oh man, I had made a comment about Caleb is that kind of dude that you would just see, you know, any place, right?
- 7:24SPEAKER_04: Because he knows you know, he just out and about because he embraces it.
- 7:28SPEAKER_04: No sooner than I said that the next day it was people talking about they had seen him in Whole Food shopping, right?
- 7:38SPEAKER_02: Well, that's what happened when you're the prince of the city, man.
- 7:40SPEAKER_02: You know, you can go anywhere you want, you are a man of the people, and you feel like you you're a part of the community, which just you know increases his legend, as far as I'm concerned.
- 7:51SPEAKER_05: But here's a here's another thing with celebrity that people don't understand.
- 7:54SPEAKER_05: It's really an interesting dynamic.
- 7:57SPEAKER_05: When you're a good when you're somebody that everybody knows and you're out by yourself, most people come and ask for a picture, autograph, take one, and they leave you alone.
- 8:06SPEAKER_05: They don't get mobbed until you get a celebrity coming around with an entourage.
- 8:11SPEAKER_05: I don't know why that is, but with Caleb, they'll probably, you know, hey, you know, he'll take a picture, smile, you know, but he doesn't have a lot of people around him.
- 8:19SPEAKER_05: And basically, what that tells you is the city has embraced him, and the city is willing to make sure that he gets from point A to point B and nobody bothers him.
- 8:28SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and what about uh nationally?
- 8:30SPEAKER_04: You hearing all this uh uh ESPN.
- 8:35SPEAKER_04: We heard people like Shady McCoy and different people who even Stephen A.
- 8:40SPEAKER_04: Smith this week, where they're talking about, and not that Stephen said anything, uh Ava Smith said anything negative about Caleb, but how you hear a lot of the national guys actually you know moon walk back their comments about Caleb, right?
- 8:55SPEAKER_04: Where they are like he's the best.
- 8:57SPEAKER_04: You hear guys nationally saying he's scary, uh the fake, he's the best quarterback ever at this point, and I agree with that.
- 9:07SPEAKER_04: I mean, he you know, it's just a matter of time, and he stay healthy.
- 9:11SPEAKER_04: I mean, as far as talent-wise and ability, he is the real deal, and you know, you still like man, wait till he developed, right?
- 9:23SPEAKER_04: Because he's still like when you look at him like it's raw, it's raw, scary.
- 9:27SPEAKER_03: I just know you know, I just know Chris Canti is the one for me because all he talked about was how the Bears made a mistake, and they said and they said the draft of Jaden Daniels, Jaden Daniels this, Jaden Daniels this.
- 9:45SPEAKER_03: So out of everybody, Chris Canti is the one for me because now I just heard him on the radio earlier this week how he was walking the back talking about oh, Caleb Williams and the Bears are gonna win a Super Bowl, they're gonna win a Super Bowl.
- 9:59SPEAKER_03: Uh well, you was just saying that the Bears made a mistake drafting him.
- 10:03SPEAKER_03: And this is the thing about the draft, and I understand a lot of this stuff is just for talk show purposes, yeah, but a lot of times, too, when you put this stuff out there, then you have national media listening to it, then you got just fans all over listening to it.
- 10:21SPEAKER_03: And then you can't uh talk about a draft after one season.
- 10:28SPEAKER_03: I've always said that.
- 10:30SPEAKER_03: You know, look at uh Caleb's first year compared to where he's at right now.
- 10:40SPEAKER_03: It's night and day, but that's what coaching and that's what restructure and reorganization does for organization.
- 10:50SPEAKER_03: So, you know, you know, to throw these narratives out here where they talk about all the bears made a mistake and they should have done this and they should have done that.
- 10:58SPEAKER_03: No, we're not gonna say that.
- 10:59SPEAKER_03: It's too early to say that, and now I'm listening to all of y'all walk back y'all comments, just like you mentioned Stephen A.
- 11:08SPEAKER_03: I remember a few years ago, he was like the bears, the bear.
- 11:13SPEAKER_03: I can't remember what it was that he said, but he was just like the bears are pathetic, the bears are this, the bears are that, and they they they and now you're talking about just yesterday on first take.
- 11:27SPEAKER_03: I love that brother.
- 11:28SPEAKER_03: I love that brother Caleb Williams.
- 11:30SPEAKER_03: He's gonna win a super bowl.
- 11:31SPEAKER_03: He might win one or two, he might win one or two, but that bears are gonna win the super bowl.
- 11:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's what that's that wasn't what you were saying a couple of years ago when the bears drafted.
- 11:42SPEAKER_05: See, my MO.
- 11:43SPEAKER_05: I'm sorry, go ahead, play.
- 11:44SPEAKER_05: No, don't hit you.
- 11:45SPEAKER_05: No, I was gonna say my MO was, you know, I was like, you know what, Justin Fields going through all this crazy stuff, whatever.
- 11:51SPEAKER_05: When they drafted him, I'm like, yeah, I said, but you know what?
- 11:54SPEAKER_05: He's ours, so it don't matter.
- 11:56SPEAKER_05: What completely changed my mind about the player that he is, every every offensive quarterback coach in the planet that has given guys tutelage is one thing, but the player has to do it.
- 12:08SPEAKER_05: The one aha moment that made me realize that this dude was different.
- 12:12SPEAKER_05: I want to say it was like in his first year when he was they were sacking the hell out of him.
- 12:17SPEAKER_05: It wasn't the fact that he was getting sacked, it was his whole body language after it was like every time he got sacked, he was getting up mad.
- 12:25SPEAKER_05: It wasn't like getting up, like, okay, let me run this play.
- 12:28SPEAKER_05: Like you might be kind of rattled.
- 12:30SPEAKER_05: And as soon as he stepped up to the line, it was almost like, all right, all right, you're gonna come get me, but I'm gonna get some stuff going.
- 12:36SPEAKER_05: And for him to have as few interceptions as he had, I had to take a look at this dude real good.
- 12:42SPEAKER_05: Because I saw what he did when he was at when he did the comeback as a uh was it freshman sophomore?
- 12:46SPEAKER_05: Was it Ohio State, whatever it was, and uh, or and uh he came into it and I saw his college.
- 12:51SPEAKER_05: I'm like, Oh, this is great, but college is different from the pros.
- 12:54SPEAKER_05: But when I saw that he was pissed off about getting sacked, and his whole body language was less about being scared and more about all right, y'all.
- 13:03SPEAKER_05: That means y'all gave me another chance.
- 13:04SPEAKER_05: You didn't knock me out.
- 13:05SPEAKER_05: I was 100% sold on that dude.
- 13:08SPEAKER_02: Let me give you three words to talk about uh Caleb Williams in the pre-Caleb Williams era early on in his career versus the uh superlatives that come out now.
- 13:21SPEAKER_02: Justin Fields was the first word everybody would talk about.
- 13:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was a mistake.
- 13:25SPEAKER_02: Uh getting rid of Justin Fields, we should have stayed with him.
- 13:29SPEAKER_02: Okay, so that was a that was a talking point.
- 13:32SPEAKER_02: His nails were another point that everybody talked about.
- 13:36SPEAKER_02: Had nothing to do with his ability on the field of what he actually did, talking about how he played his nails and somehow tried to attack the young man's character, right?
- 13:47SPEAKER_02: Making him seem effeminate for whatever reason.
- 13:49SPEAKER_02: Like, not that there's a problem with that.
- 13:51SPEAKER_02: The third thing that people would talk about is completion percentage.
- 13:56SPEAKER_02: Strangely enough, those words have been replaced with things like generational, fantasy, and Madden.
- 14:06SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 14:06SPEAKER_02: Now, when we're talking about Caleb Williams, and keep in mind this is the beginning of his third year.
- 14:13SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 14:14SPEAKER_02: So all of these people that jumped, you know, jumped to conclusions early on, they eating a little bit of crow, uh, but at least the the crow is uh frozen crow, so I maybe that makes him feel a little bit better.
- 14:25SPEAKER_02: So we're gonna we're gonna see what they actually what they actually uh start talking about going forward.
- 14:30SPEAKER_05: You know, he might be in a he might be in another category too.
- 14:34SPEAKER_05: The next touchdown, if he gets another touchdown without an interception, he's only one or three quarterbacks that's thrown.
- 14:39SPEAKER_05: I want to say, is it 40 touchdowns and 15 or less interceptions?
- 14:44SPEAKER_05: It'll be him, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes.
- 14:47SPEAKER_02: That's pretty good.
- 14:48SPEAKER_02: That's the one.
- 14:50SPEAKER_03: That's that's that's yeah, that's pretty good company.
- 14:54SPEAKER_03: The Johnson for any team that puts 60 points on the NFL team projected to have a top 10 defense as a media contender, unlike the skeptic analysts say bear down.
- 15:05SPEAKER_03: Thank you, Ken Yama, for that comment.
- 15:08SPEAKER_03: We appreciate it.
- 15:09SPEAKER_05: Great point.
- 15:10SPEAKER_03: So, yeah, we should uh let me get to what's been in my crawl all week.
- 15:19SPEAKER_03: Everybody's talking about the defense.
- 15:20SPEAKER_03: The defense gave up 37 points.
- 15:24SPEAKER_03: 10 teams, 10 teams in the NFL in week one gave up 30 points or more.
- 15:32SPEAKER_03: People need to understand that offenses are always ahead of the defense.
- 15:38SPEAKER_03: Why is that?
- 15:39SPEAKER_03: Because they don't tackle in practice.
- 15:41SPEAKER_03: They I seen so many missed tackles last week, not only in the Bears game, but just throughout the league overall.
- 15:48SPEAKER_03: But I just want people to understand that you cannot judge a team after one week.
- 15:58SPEAKER_03: Did they give up 37 points?
- 16:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they did.
- 16:01SPEAKER_03: The Lions gave up 30 and they and they won last week.
- 16:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they gave up 41 last night and they lost.
- 16:09SPEAKER_03: So relax everybody.
- 16:14SPEAKER_03: But again, when you listen to sports radio, that's all they're talking about.
- 16:19SPEAKER_03: Is well the bears gave the bears.
- 16:21SPEAKER_03: Oh, this bears gonna defense gonna have to be at least middle of the pack if the bears are gonna contend for a super bowl.
- 16:28SPEAKER_03: It's week two.
- 16:29SPEAKER_05: I got one question two if that was if that was a super bowl and that score that they had was the score that they had, how many people would be criticizing the defense?
- 16:41SPEAKER_05: They wouldn't not one part, they wouldn't even they played defense.
- 16:46SPEAKER_05: They had defense, it looked like they always had the ball, it wouldn't even be a question.
- 16:50SPEAKER_05: So the point is just to uh our last uh poster said that's that's uh I get what they're saying and stuff like that, but shoot, if they win 14-13, what do you say?
- 17:01SPEAKER_05: Oh, the offense was an F.
- 17:02SPEAKER_05: What I say is it's a win.
- 17:05SPEAKER_03: You can't win for losing, man.
- 17:07SPEAKER_03: You it's just one of the things where you you can't satisfy and and you know, y'all know I I love I love the best, I love my best fans, but best fans could be boneheaded a little bit.
- 17:21SPEAKER_03: They can.
- 17:23SPEAKER_03: It's just like it's well, I ain't gonna say that blank, but it's it's just like calm down, calm down.
- 17:32SPEAKER_02: It's week two.
- 17:34SPEAKER_02: Wait a minute, Jay.
- 17:36SPEAKER_02: How early can you get to the tailgate?
- 17:38SPEAKER_02: I'm surprised you're not already on your way there tonight.
- 17:42SPEAKER_06: Guess what?
- 17:43SPEAKER_02: What what are the rules of when you can actually appear for the game for the tailgate for a bears game?
- 17:48SPEAKER_03: And guess what?
- 17:49SPEAKER_03: I I I actually just got through season my meat.
- 17:56SPEAKER_04: Hey, hey man, it's not it's not to decide man as uh as far as sports, you know, the Chicago Bears are winning.
- 18:04SPEAKER_04: And I had uh you know how six o'clock six o'clock.
- 18:07SPEAKER_04: Okay, okay.
- 18:09SPEAKER_04: You know how social media, you know how social media your uh your um uh post from previous years pop up like one of these.
- 18:19SPEAKER_04: So anyway, uh I had a post that popped up from 2023 on this day, which was it was for uh today, and on that post I was talking about the Bears and the Tampa game, and that was the game where uh they lost Brady lost, yeah.
- 18:39SPEAKER_04: Okay, no, no, no, not that game.
- 18:41SPEAKER_04: This was the just the this was the Justin Fields game when I noticed I first started questioning him because that game in the commentary when it popped up in my memory, it was like a tape where I made like right after the game by myself or the next day, and I said, Man, I'm confused about why quarterback is just staring guys down and not throwing it, you know.
- 19:02SPEAKER_04: But and I was saying we were 0-2, and we was continuing our losing streak from the previous year, and uh, yeah, because we had we had beat, I think that yeah, the year before we had beat the Patriots, right?
- 19:16SPEAKER_04: Then we didn't win any more games after that, right?
- 19:19SPEAKER_04: And then we came to next year, and it feels so much better to not be talking about that.
- 19:24SPEAKER_04: That's the whole point, than not to be talking about that at this point uh the year where we bringing in losing streaks.
- 19:31SPEAKER_04: If you think about last year, we bringing in the loser streak at this point.
- 19:35SPEAKER_02: You just hurt my feelings when you brought that up again.
- 19:38SPEAKER_02: You just hurt my feelings.
- 19:40SPEAKER_02: I suck down so long.
- 19:42SPEAKER_04: I just try to break something like why we so close because bad.
- 19:45SPEAKER_04: We have endured some, you know.
- 19:47SPEAKER_04: Us as fans, we have endured some loser streaks, which is kind of had not really.
- 19:54SPEAKER_04: I mean, the Bears have had some bad teams, but in recent years, we have endured losing streaks, which was kind of unique, right?
- 20:02SPEAKER_04: Because we've been doing like two 10-game loser streaks back to back.
- 20:08SPEAKER_04: So putting us like in like Cleveland type territory or uh Detroit back today.
- 20:13SPEAKER_05: You ever been in a room like that has that fluorescent light and the balance is bad?
- 20:17SPEAKER_05: You hear the light bulbs go?
- 20:20SPEAKER_05: That's what the city sounds like when the bears are winning.
- 20:23SPEAKER_05: I don't care, it's just it's electric, man.
- 20:26SPEAKER_05: And just like Jay was saying, how sometimes Bears fans can be a trip.
- 20:31SPEAKER_05: One of the reasons is because nine times out of ten, when we're having conversations about teams, we're getting into arguments with teams who had Super Bowl wins, multiple, and we really didn't have any ammunition, so it was like we're passionate about it.
- 20:46SPEAKER_05: But I I just believe that our fan base, you're gonna have fickle fans everywhere, but we have some diehard folks here, man.
- 20:53SPEAKER_05: I mean, die hard, and I love it, man.
- 20:58SPEAKER_05: I love it.
- 20:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, I want to get to this to the game.
- 21:00SPEAKER_03: Let's get to the yeah, I was gonna say yeah, I was gonna say it's time to get to it.
- 21:04SPEAKER_03: It's time to get to it.
- 21:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's time to get to it.
- 21:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the Mantis made a prediction that uh Caleb is gonna get 40 plus passing TDs this year.
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: I said, I'm down for that projection.
- 21:15SPEAKER_02: That sounds it sounds like something that's with within reach.
- 21:18SPEAKER_02: So how many did he have last year?
- 21:21SPEAKER_02: Putting that out there.
- 21:22SPEAKER_05: You remember how many he had last year?
- 21:24SPEAKER_05: Uh how many touchdowns he had last year?
- 21:25SPEAKER_05: 27 or 28.
- 21:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah, some somewhere, somewhere.
- 21:28SPEAKER_02: 27 touchdown passes.
- 21:29SPEAKER_05: If he don't get if he don't get 40 touchdown passes, he's gonna get at least a total of 40.
- 21:34SPEAKER_02: Oh, like running and passes.
- 21:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 21:40SPEAKER_03: Well, that part getting to this, you know, getting to this game.
- 21:45SPEAKER_03: Minnesota is 6-0 in the last six games that sold the field.
- 21:49SPEAKER_03: So let's start off right there.
- 21:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they six and no in the last six games that sold the field.
- 21:55SPEAKER_03: We have not beat the Vikings in the last six games at Soldier.
- 22:00SPEAKER_03: Field.
- 22:00SPEAKER_05: I got something for you.
- 22:02SPEAKER_05: I got something for you, Jay.
- 22:04SPEAKER_05: That six store in Soldier Field.
- 22:07SPEAKER_05: Ben Johnson is five and one against Brian Warren.
- 22:10SPEAKER_03: Against against Brian Flores.
- 22:11SPEAKER_03: And we at the crib too.
- 22:13unknown: Yes.
- 22:13SPEAKER_03: I just think, and not only that, I give you, I'll give you one better.
- 22:17SPEAKER_03: I'll give you one better.
- 22:18SPEAKER_03: We want you know me.
- 22:19SPEAKER_03: I'll get throw the stats.
- 22:21SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna give you one better.
- 22:22SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
- 22:22SPEAKER_03: Since Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams been together, Caleb Williams' passing against the Blitz is 116.9.
- 22:37SPEAKER_03: Blitz.
- 22:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 22:38SPEAKER_03: Last year, last year we talked about it on the pregame.
- 22:44SPEAKER_03: How I'm calling him B flow because that's what everybody called him.
- 22:47SPEAKER_03: Brian Flores, not B flow.
- 22:49SPEAKER_03: I just found that out today.
- 22:50SPEAKER_03: They called him B flow.
- 22:52SPEAKER_03: Last year, we thought Brian Flores, B flow, was gonna be blitzing, blitzing, blissing, blitzing in that first game of the season.
- 23:00SPEAKER_03: And he only blitzed 27% in that first game, which we lost.
- 23:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 23:09SPEAKER_03: Which was the home opener last year, which we lost in the first half.
- 23:14SPEAKER_03: He only blitzed 27%.
- 23:16SPEAKER_03: In that second half, he came back and it was like 76%.
- 23:21SPEAKER_03: So even going into the second game last year, when we played them again, he flipped it.
- 23:29SPEAKER_03: So it was like 77% in the first half, and then we wind up, you know, he wound up blissing only a few plays in the second half.
- 23:40SPEAKER_03: So it's a test game, and like you say, guy, Dan Johnson is five and one against Brian Flores.
- 23:49SPEAKER_03: So it's gonna be a test game all day.
- 23:52SPEAKER_03: But one thing I can say that Caleb Williams thrives when he's blitzed.
- 24:04SPEAKER_03: Brian Flores may take a little step back and be like, wait a minute.
- 24:07SPEAKER_03: And he has such he has such uh admiration for Caleb this week in his press conference in Minnesota.
- 24:14SPEAKER_03: You know, he talked about how you know he's grown, you know, how Caleb Williams has grown, and he's like, this guy's a superstar in this league.
- 24:22SPEAKER_03: So not only that, he Caleb Williams is earning his respect around the league.
- 24:28SPEAKER_03: But I expect this game it's it's kind of crazy because Carson Wentz is a guy that could actually move the ball down the field.
- 24:40SPEAKER_03: You know, Justin Jefferson had two touchdowns all last season, and he had two independent football.
- 24:47SPEAKER_03: So so Carson Wentz can't move the football.
- 24:50SPEAKER_03: Um, they running back Jordan Jordan Mason, I believe his name is.
- 24:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they start running back.
- 24:56SPEAKER_03: He's out this game.
- 24:57SPEAKER_03: So you would think that would be a good thing, but guess who's the starting running back now?
- 25:02SPEAKER_03: The bear killer Aaron Jones.
- 25:07SPEAKER_02: Especially from the Green Bay days.
- 25:09SPEAKER_05: Speaking of Green Bay, and it feeds right into what you were saying, Jay.
- 25:14SPEAKER_05: Uh, he didn't blitz a whole lot in the first half against Green Bay.
- 25:16SPEAKER_05: In the second half, he started blitzing it, and they had four sacks.
- 25:19SPEAKER_05: They have four sacks.
- 25:20SPEAKER_05: Here's a different dynamic that I like.
- 25:23SPEAKER_05: Uh, not to say the game is gonna go that way or is gonna go that way.
- 25:27SPEAKER_05: The one thing, too, that makes uh uh Caleb Williams passer rating go up on blitzes is because they've got OCs, they've got people who are offensive minded to whereas they're thinking about like the two-step drop that quick trips the trips right or quick slant or getting the ball out real fast and negate the blitz.
- 25:46SPEAKER_05: You can blitz all you want to, but these guys are blitzing and they realizing the ball is gone, and the fourth quarter, dude's gonna be gassed, man.
- 25:55SPEAKER_03: And the beautiful thing about and the beautiful thing about Ben Johnson and his offense, if anybody would have told me that Khalif Raymond was gonna be the Bears starting uh leading wide receiver last week, they'd have been like, Man, you don't know what you're talking about.
- 26:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I wouldn't have knew what I was talking about because I wouldn't have never thought that.
- 26:17SPEAKER_03: But that just lets you know how much offensive power that this team, how much offensive power that this team has.
- 26:23SPEAKER_03: Um, you scored 59 points and Colson Loveland don't catch a pass.
- 26:29SPEAKER_03: He had two targets in the second half.
- 26:31SPEAKER_03: So Ben Johnson has the weapons to do this, but I really think with this game, it's gonna be each team is gonna try to keep the other team off the field offensively from scoring.
- 26:48SPEAKER_02: Wow, Jay, you just gave me a whole lot to unpack.
- 26:51SPEAKER_02: So give me a second with go right ahead.
- 26:57SPEAKER_02: They can call him whatever they have.
- 26:58SPEAKER_02: Well, he won't be flow gonna be on B flow this this game, so we're gonna see how that works.
- 27:04SPEAKER_02: Now, the the best thing you can do against an opponent that you really respect is to beat them completely, is to blow them out.
- 27:14SPEAKER_02: So if you are prepared for that employment, uh that uh other opponent, that's the best sign of respect, actually.
- 27:22SPEAKER_02: So I you know you have problems with people that beat you by one touchdown or whatever.
- 27:27SPEAKER_02: Somebody that blows you out, you just say, you know what, I have to do better, I have to rethink my whole uh my whole um plan.
- 27:36SPEAKER_02: Now, one of the things that I think is gonna happen is because the Bears are such a good running team, yeah, that makes it extremely difficult for the other team or for the other defensive coordinator to throw a whole lot of packages out there.
- 27:51SPEAKER_02: Why the Bears are running that 13 personnel?
- 27:54SPEAKER_02: What that basically means is you got two big tight ends on the field all the time.
- 28:00SPEAKER_02: So they already have an advantage if you're going to the run game.
- 28:05SPEAKER_02: So Minnesota's looking at it and they look at those two big tight ends and they're like, okay, they're running, they running.
- 28:11SPEAKER_02: But you got Colson Loveland, the number one uh target for a receiver as a tight end.
- 28:19SPEAKER_02: And then you got Cole Kamet, who's also a heck of a receiver.
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: So the Bears schematic and that diabolical uh Ben Johnson that we got throws a whole lot of things off.
- 28:33SPEAKER_02: Not even to mention the actual personnel that we get got out there.
- 28:37SPEAKER_02: Think about this, Jay.
- 28:39SPEAKER_02: Last week, Xavion Thomas didn't even get prep as a wide receiver.
- 28:46SPEAKER_03: I know, right?
- 28:47SPEAKER_03: But you know what?
- 28:48SPEAKER_03: But you know, but you know, it's two things I want to say because I just started laughing because it was funny.
- 28:52SPEAKER_03: But you mentioned Xavion Thomas.
- 28:54SPEAKER_03: It's so funny because they actually kicked, he was he was here for kick return.
- 28:59SPEAKER_03: They actually kicked the ball away from him.
- 29:03SPEAKER_03: How did you kick the ball away from a rookie that has not played in a game?
- 29:08SPEAKER_03: Because he had a two-point, a 4.28.
- 29:11SPEAKER_03: Uh that's that's that's Devin Hesterish right there.
- 29:17SPEAKER_03: And another thing I want to say, and then and I'm and then I'm I'm gonna get y'all the floor.
- 29:20SPEAKER_03: Another thing I want to say, we was talking about respect.
- 29:24SPEAKER_03: I don't know if y'all saw last week.
- 29:26SPEAKER_03: I'm going back to last week's game when Caleb Williams walked across the field and was talking to uh was talking to uh y'all got a heck on defense over there.
- 29:40SPEAKER_03: I just hold 59 on y'all, and you just coach y'all got a heck of a defense.
- 29:46SPEAKER_03: That's diabolical.
- 29:48SPEAKER_03: He is taking on he he is taking on the personality of his head coach, and I like it.
- 29:57SPEAKER_03: I like it.
- 29:58SPEAKER_03: I like it.
- 29:59SPEAKER_03: But okay, go ahead, Sarah.
- 30:00SPEAKER_03: Go ahead.
- 30:01SPEAKER_04: That was yeah, you know what I want to say.
- 30:03SPEAKER_04: Uh uh I'm glad you said that, uh Jay.
- 30:05SPEAKER_04: And this is what I noticed about Caleb and Plank here kind of alluded to what some people were saying, why they shouldn't draft him.
- 30:13SPEAKER_04: I I realized in college, Caleb's fingernail painting was trolling, he was trolling the other team with his fingernails.
- 30:23SPEAKER_04: If you ever really looked at his fingernails in college, it might say F on one, you on the other.
- 30:29SPEAKER_04: I'm skip the other letters, you know.
- 30:31SPEAKER_04: Then the other nails would say the name of the team, right?
- 30:35SPEAKER_04: And I think those are kind of like the little stuff that Caleb does, and this coach actually allows him to kind of be that guy, right?
- 30:43SPEAKER_04: Where it's kind of like, like I said, I think I mentioned the other day, he the kind of guy that'll kick you because he's so competitive when you're down, but he ain't gonna look like he's kicking you, right?
- 30:53SPEAKER_04: It's like kind of like it's like a smirk, like, yeah, man, y'all gotta have some defense, but it really like man, y'all really did do a good job.
- 31:00SPEAKER_04: I don't think he meant it in the mean way, it's almost like man, y'all did a really good job.
- 31:04SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's really like y'all just couldn't do nothing about what was happening.
- 31:07SPEAKER_04: I mean, that's all it was.
- 31:09SPEAKER_04: Y'all just couldn't do nothing about it, but anyway, Captain Petty, man.
- 31:13SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't know if it's him uh or Johnson that's worth with the pettiness, man.
- 31:18SPEAKER_02: But I like it, right?
- 31:19SPEAKER_03: I do too.
- 31:21SPEAKER_03: I do too.
- 31:21SPEAKER_04: I like it.
- 31:23SPEAKER_04: I like it so so this matchup with the with the the Vikings corners and the Bears receivers.
- 31:29SPEAKER_04: You know, our all two corners didn't do a good showing in this game, and uh, and it looked like uh Justin uh just Jefferson uh just uh Justin Jefferson looked renewed, at least in the first game, because last year he uh I don't know what his stats were, but I know a lot of it probably was just frustration of quarterback play, and he really that was like the first time I could say, looking at him since he'd been in the league last year, and he might have had some injuries too, that he did not look like a guy that could play with any quarterback.
- 32:03SPEAKER_04: You know how some guys are great, and you like, man, no matter who back there, they just gonna make their numbers.
- 32:08SPEAKER_04: And it looked like this year he seems renewed uh in the game.
- 32:12SPEAKER_04: So I am concerned about what do you do with our corners against them?
- 32:17SPEAKER_04: You get what you got, Jay, on that.
- 32:20SPEAKER_03: If you look at Justin Jefferson's stats against the Chicago Bears in the last, I want to say five games, he has 45 targets for 21, 20 44 targets, 21 receptions.
- 32:40SPEAKER_03: He has not been a bear killer that I can say.
- 32:44SPEAKER_03: Now, on the other hand, Jordan Anderson is the one who has killed the bear since he's been with the Minnesota Vikings.
- 32:53SPEAKER_03: So I don't know if that trend is gonna change this week, but Justin Jefferson has not been really a bear killer against us, and with Carson Wentz being the quarterback, I'm not necessarily concerned about Justin Jefferson, I'm more concerned about TJ Hawkinson, Jordan Anderson, and the Minnesota run game.
- 33:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah, TJ is gonna put put uh Mohammed to test, put him to a test in this game.
- 33:25SPEAKER_04: And I think Mohammed is gonna be ready for this.
- 33:27SPEAKER_04: I I do think Mohammed may end up getting some, maybe get another pick because I think they're gonna try to try him because he's the rookie, and I think they're gonna try to test him.
- 33:38SPEAKER_04: And I think this kid, I think this kid is gonna be special, man.
- 33:42SPEAKER_04: I really do believe that.
- 33:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, I think Xavier Woods coming back this week too.
- 33:47SPEAKER_03: So I don't know if they're gonna slide Zay uh uh Xavier Woods to the free safety spot and slide Cam down to the nickel.
- 33:55SPEAKER_03: So we're gonna have to see.
- 33:57SPEAKER_03: Uh uh, I do uh every the injury report for the Bears today was great because everybody participated, even Ozzy uh Trapillo.
- 34:05SPEAKER_03: So everybody was a full participant this week.
- 34:08SPEAKER_03: So it's gonna be very interesting.
- 34:10SPEAKER_03: Uh the the weather is not supposed to be good, which is gonna suck.
- 34:14SPEAKER_03: Um, but this is gonna be an interesting game because the bottom line is between the Vikings and the Bears, somebody gonna be two and oh in the division.
- 34:29SPEAKER_03: Everybody else could be one and one.
- 34:31SPEAKER_03: Well, the the Lions are already one and one.
- 34:34SPEAKER_03: And you got the Packers playing the Jets this week, and then you got us playing the Vikings.
- 34:38SPEAKER_03: So somebody gonna be two and oh.
- 34:40SPEAKER_03: And I'm I'm just I'm I'm thinking it's gonna be us.
- 34:44SPEAKER_03: I'm thinking it's gonna be us.
- 34:47SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't think that Tyreek uh Stevenson for for one can do worse than he did last week against the Panthers.
- 34:56SPEAKER_02: Uh he ended up having a completion percentage, which effectively turned into 100% of the passes that were targeted at him were completed.
- 35:07SPEAKER_02: Uh second to that was Jalen Johnson.
- 35:11SPEAKER_02: So as much uh swagger as Jalen Johnson is trying to talk about this year and get everybody fired up, he needs to get back to his primary focus of locking down the other team's top receiver.
- 35:24SPEAKER_02: If he can return to that kind of form, we've got a chance.
- 35:27SPEAKER_02: And it's interesting that Malik Mohammed had the best numbers of all of the Bears cornerbacks last week.
- 35:36SPEAKER_02: So, if nothing else, I'm thinking that from a pride standpoint, it's a division game.
- 35:42SPEAKER_02: You're coming off a horrible game where the entire nation saw what happened to you.
- 35:47SPEAKER_02: I think the Bears cornerbacks are gonna come back with a much better showing.
- 35:51SPEAKER_02: Uh, they almost have to, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 35:54SPEAKER_04: I agree because what what uh Stevenson done, you pretty much could have just been 10 against 10 against 11.
- 36:01SPEAKER_04: It was, you know.
- 36:08SPEAKER_04: But I I think I think in the the interior has to do a better Sean as well, because I want to say Thetaman led the team in tackles, if not, he was right up to the top.
- 36:20SPEAKER_04: So you know, you got safety, but you don't really want your safety being leading tackler, period.
- 36:27SPEAKER_04: Now I know if that blowout had been a blowout early, right?
- 36:32SPEAKER_04: Because the game was switching, the scores was going back and forth, then you can understand why your safety might be the leading tackler, right?
- 36:39SPEAKER_04: Because the team is passing, passing, and passing, right?
- 36:42SPEAKER_04: Because they're so far behind.
- 36:43SPEAKER_04: But if you think about that game blew, I think it really blew out in the fourth quarter when it just kind of pulled away because they actually were, I think they were tired at halftime or something like that.
- 36:54SPEAKER_04: So they had exchanged leads a few times here and there.
- 36:57SPEAKER_02: But an anomaly I got for from last week, okay?
- 37:01SPEAKER_02: The defensive, the the Bears defensive linemen actually had a very good game.
- 37:08SPEAKER_02: They ended up with like uh 15 to 20 pressures on the quarterbacks.
- 37:12SPEAKER_02: They got a couple sacks, they were trying to get him off the spot.
- 37:16SPEAKER_02: Uh, he ended up you know uh moving off the spot.
- 37:19SPEAKER_02: The problem was the Bears' cornerbacks were so horrible, he was able to hit his first read.
- 37:27SPEAKER_02: So if you're looking at that from a mathematical standpoint, that first read, you you get the ball, you drop back.
- 37:33SPEAKER_02: That's within the first three seconds of you going out there as a quarterback.
- 37:38SPEAKER_02: So if you look at in three seconds, you see that your first guy that you're looking for is always open.
- 37:44SPEAKER_02: Man, you can do that all day.
- 37:47SPEAKER_02: It looks like the other teams, uh, defensive linemen and linebackers or whatever aren't putting up uh any kind of resistance.
- 37:54SPEAKER_02: So when we look back at you know how this actually broke down, those cornerbacks uh were making such terrible play, they weren't able to stop them directly off the line for three seconds.
- 38:09SPEAKER_02: That's pretty horrible.
- 38:12SPEAKER_03: Well, Kiyama just said the Bears did end up getting 16 pressers, the highest of all 32 teams in the in last week.
- 38:24SPEAKER_04: Thank you, man.
- 38:25SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
- 38:26SPEAKER_04: This is what I like to see too.
- 38:28SPEAKER_04: And no, the stat is the stat.
- 38:30SPEAKER_04: When did those pressures come?
- 38:32SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's kind of like a box of who's losing the uh who ended up out punching another guy, but he started loading up the last three rounds of the fight, but he lost all the other nine rounds, right?
- 38:45SPEAKER_04: But then you look at the output, and it looked like he like if you didn't see the fight, you was like, Man, how did he lose this fight, right?
- 38:52SPEAKER_04: Because he loaded up all his punches uh in the fight that he was getting desperate, right?
- 38:57SPEAKER_04: And I I want to see, like, I did from my eye test, it looked like a lot of those pressures in the fourth quarter, but in the first fourth quarter, but in the early in the game, and I'm not saying the line did bad at all, I'm just saying improvement.
- 39:10SPEAKER_04: They did have times where the quarterback was able to throw deep passes as well because he had time to throw, so you do gotta speed up that clock more early on because blowout games could be deceptive too, right?
- 39:26SPEAKER_04: Because other stats shows up and blowout games.
- 39:29SPEAKER_03: Yes, they can.
- 39:30SPEAKER_03: You know, just like they say Montez, just like they say, you know, Montez Sweat got that sack early.
- 39:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he disappeared after that.
- 39:39SPEAKER_03: It was almost one of the things, it was almost one of the things where he's like, okay, I got my sack for the game, so I'm uh I'm good.
- 39:45SPEAKER_03: You know, we need to have constant pressure, and that's what we don't have.
- 39:51SPEAKER_03: That's why it's gonna be real, well, I'm getting ahead of myself, but that's why it's gonna be real interesting to see what this Bears team look like when we get, you know, five, six, seven weeks in, get closer towards the trade deadline, and it if Brian Paul's decide that we one player away from making a run.
- 40:11SPEAKER_03: So it's gonna be it's gonna be real interesting.
- 40:13SPEAKER_03: But, you know, last week, and I say, you know, it's week one, the defense didn't look stellar at all.
- 40:22SPEAKER_03: You know, our linebacker play was probably the worst I've seen it in several, several years.
- 40:28SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, Jordan Vandenberg, welcome to the NFL, dog.
- 40:33SPEAKER_03: This ain't preseason.
- 40:34SPEAKER_03: You're not playing against second and third string guys.
- 40:37SPEAKER_03: You got your lunch pay all handed to you.
- 40:39SPEAKER_03: You you they what'd you say?
- 40:40SPEAKER_03: Quick, uh uh, what'd you say, play?
- 40:42SPEAKER_03: They stole his lunch money, they stole his lunch money last week.
- 40:46SPEAKER_03: Last week he got his lunch money stolen.
- 40:48SPEAKER_03: Welcome to the NFL, Ricky.
- 40:51SPEAKER_03: This is not you know, you're not playing against second and third strings.
- 40:56SPEAKER_03: Uh oh, bush.
- 40:58SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry, guys, for you jump in.
- 40:59SPEAKER_04: No, he got broke down to a prayer position.
- 41:05SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 41:06SPEAKER_04: Did y'all see that when he rushed that one button?
- 41:08SPEAKER_04: He got broken.
- 41:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the guy the line broke him down when he just went straight.
- 41:18SPEAKER_03: That's called a folding block.
- 41:23SPEAKER_03: You have to remember Devin Bush is not a he's not really a big guy, you know.
- 41:27SPEAKER_03: He's not a big guy for a line.
- 41:30SPEAKER_03: So to see him folded like a folding chair last week against on that blitz, I was like, ooh, dice.
- 41:36SPEAKER_03: That's not that's not pretty.
- 41:38SPEAKER_03: He he's never gonna release that, he's never gonna lay that down.
- 41:41SPEAKER_05: There you go.
- 41:42SPEAKER_05: But everybody in the league, I don't care what position you play at the NFL, everybody's strong, it's just different levels of strong.
- 41:48SPEAKER_05: So it's like it's not surprising.
- 41:50SPEAKER_05: I was gonna ask you guys something, which is if which is interesting, considering that he did this in college, he was great at it.
- 41:57SPEAKER_05: What about putting Cam at the strong and put uh Dylan in the nickel?
- 42:01SPEAKER_05: Because when he was in the nickel with Purdue, he had six interceptions.
- 42:04SPEAKER_05: Now, I wouldn't put him on an outside corner because I don't think he can.
- 42:07SPEAKER_05: I don't uh he's fast, he is fast, but as you guys know, and Plank even knows this too.
- 42:13SPEAKER_05: You can have a guy that's super fast, but if his hips are kind of tight and he's going up against a good receiver and he's on the island by himself, he's gonna get burnt.
- 42:20SPEAKER_05: I don't care how fast he is.
- 42:21SPEAKER_05: But I would put him, I would just go a couple plays and put him at the nickel because I was watching some plays where he got tackles, uh and he's at the strong safety.
- 42:31SPEAKER_05: Guy's not even out the backfield coming out, and he the first dude there.
- 42:35SPEAKER_05: And if he's doing that from the strong, imagine if you popped him into the nickel a little more.
- 42:39SPEAKER_05: So now you got a little bit of a guy that's can do either a little bit of containment or at least kind of make a guy stutter for a second.
- 42:46SPEAKER_05: So help comes.
- 42:48SPEAKER_02: Well, uh go ahead, Jay, get him.
- 42:52SPEAKER_03: No, I didn't say go ahead and get him.
- 42:55SPEAKER_03: No, I'm not gonna get it.
- 42:57SPEAKER_03: I'm just saying that you got a rookie, yeah, he's already got a lot on his plate.
- 43:05SPEAKER_03: He does, yeah, and because Kobe Bryant is not there, yeah, to kind of coach him up, you don't want to kind of move him around too much right now.
- 43:15SPEAKER_03: It's a good thought, guy, because if you're in the slot or if you're playing that nickel corner, if you matched up with a tight end, I still don't as good as Thederman is athletically, I don't want to see him uh covering a slot receiver.
- 43:35SPEAKER_03: That's I I don't think that would be good.
- 43:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, but but what I was gonna say is I'm I'm I'm still hoping.
- 43:45SPEAKER_03: I'm one of them bears fans.
- 43:46SPEAKER_03: Y'all know I'm a I'm an optimist.
- 43:49SPEAKER_03: I'm still hoping.
- 43:51SPEAKER_03: I'm still hoping that Kylie Gordon can come back because Kylie Gordon would make such a big huge.
- 44:00SPEAKER_03: On his back end, he would make such a big difference on his back end.
- 44:05SPEAKER_03: So we gotta wait.
- 44:07SPEAKER_03: We gotta wait.
- 44:08SPEAKER_03: He was at Hollis Hall yesterday.
- 44:10SPEAKER_03: I can't say that.
- 44:11SPEAKER_03: He was in the building yesterday.
- 44:13SPEAKER_03: So let's just hope him and Kobe Bryant actually was in the building yesterday.
- 44:18SPEAKER_05: So his direct deposit didn't drop.
- 44:20SPEAKER_05: He had to get a live check.
- 44:22SPEAKER_05: Go ahead, play Gibby, man.
- 44:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, you know, that that's a good uh that's an idea, guy.
- 44:29SPEAKER_02: But uh a safety is your last line of defense.
- 44:33SPEAKER_02: Defense, yes, you want the guy that's out there that that's a dog that you know uh if there's 10 receivers that end up going out there, his his ideas, let me just bite them all 10.
- 44:45SPEAKER_02: So you want that that dog on your last line of defense because if if they score on him, that's the end of it.
- 44:53SPEAKER_02: Uh the corners, our corners have uh been exposed, and a lot of that is because they're out of alignment, they're out of their space.
- 45:01SPEAKER_02: Uh, it's it's not easy to have find somebody to play that slot.
- 45:05SPEAKER_02: You have to have a specific skill set.
- 45:08SPEAKER_02: You gotta be a special individual.
- 45:10SPEAKER_02: Kyler Gordon is a heck of an athlete.
- 45:13SPEAKER_02: You know, say what we want this guy, he's a good tackler.
- 45:17SPEAKER_02: You don't see him backing away from that.
- 45:19SPEAKER_02: He can stay with uh the slot guys, and he can actually rush the passer.
- 45:24SPEAKER_02: So if we can get some faction of Tyler Kyler Gordon back this year, I think that makes the entire difference for what this uh team can do.
- 45:34SPEAKER_03: Yes, it does.
- 45:35SPEAKER_03: I totally agree.
- 45:36SPEAKER_03: I totally agree.

- 47:06SPEAKER_02: Hey, I had a guy at my house this week, uh from ATT, uh giving me I'm switching over from Xfinity to ATT, and I was playing, I was playing the podcast in the back, right?
- 47:19SPEAKER_02: And as I'm playing it, the guy started listening.
- 47:21SPEAKER_02: He said, Man, you guys know a whole lot about the Chicago Bears.
- 47:25SPEAKER_02: I said, Well, we try to.
- 47:26SPEAKER_02: He said, Well, what's the name of your show?
- 47:28SPEAKER_02: And you know, he just really got into it.
- 47:30SPEAKER_02: He got into it so much.
- 47:32SPEAKER_02: I said, Look, man, that's all well and good, but you need to finish doing your phone now.
- 47:37SPEAKER_02: Subscribe, it was exciting having a little dialogue with him at the same time.
- 47:43SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I don't need you to be in my house for another three hours, man.
- 47:47SPEAKER_02: You you need to get on up out of here.
- 47:49SPEAKER_02: But he said he was gonna join, so let's look forward to it.
- 47:52SPEAKER_02: Come on, Philippe, join.
- 47:54SPEAKER_02: I'm looking for you.
- 47:55SPEAKER_02: There you go.
- 47:56SPEAKER_04: Hey, how do the bears for that hour?
- 47:59SPEAKER_04: So let's let's start getting out close to the scores and predictions.
- 48:02SPEAKER_04: Well, how do the bears win this game?
- 48:05SPEAKER_04: I think the bears win this game by continue to build on the offensive performance that they did, run the ball, ball control, clock management, and play good solid defense and get contribution from your special teams.
- 48:24SPEAKER_04: And I see the bears pulling this off.
- 48:26SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna say it's gonna be 59 points, but I do see the bears pulling this off.
- 48:30SPEAKER_04: Hey, what what y'all got as far as how do the bears win this?
- 48:35SPEAKER_03: I think they gotta be efficient on offense, as you said.
- 48:40SPEAKER_03: Uh just continue to build on what they did last week, clean up some of the mistakes.
- 48:46SPEAKER_03: You know, we did have 12 12 penalties last year, albeit it was only 50 57 yards, I believe.
- 48:52SPEAKER_03: We had 12 penalties for 57 yards.
- 48:54SPEAKER_03: So but we still had like you're right, guy.
- 48:57SPEAKER_03: There's still 12 penalties.
- 48:58SPEAKER_03: But I think if we can be efficient on offense, uh special teams played well last week.
- 49:04SPEAKER_03: Uh, if we can continue there, and you know, uh defense, and I'm still like I said, is week two.
- 49:13SPEAKER_03: So I'm not panicking about the defense like everybody else is, but if we could uh maximize some of the uh players that uh need to be maximized, you know, our our linebackers need to show up.
- 49:29SPEAKER_03: I think, like I said, that was the worst linebacker showing I've seen from a Chicago Bears team in a long time.
- 49:36SPEAKER_03: So if we can clean that up, it makes that secondary look a little better.
- 49:42SPEAKER_03: But if we can just be efficient on offense, because that's what that's where this team is at right now.
- 49:47SPEAKER_03: Who would have ever thought we talked about the Chicago Bears and efficient offense in the same category?
- 49:53SPEAKER_03: It's never happened before.
- 49:55SPEAKER_03: So if we can be efficient and continue to run the ball and just be efficient on offense, I think we're gonna be okay.
- 50:04SPEAKER_02: I think one of the main things the Bears need to bring to the game is a different attitude.
- 50:09SPEAKER_02: Uh, one of the things the Bears were doing, trying to set their personality over training camp, was making sure they ramped up the physicality.
- 50:18SPEAKER_02: Uh, the Bears were the hardest hitters.
- 50:21SPEAKER_02: Uh, when they played some of the other dual games uh against Cincinnati or whatever, the other teams were always upset and mad because the Bears were hitting harder than they needed to.
- 50:32SPEAKER_02: They needed to bring that personality to this game, specifically because Minnesota has come to our house and stole everything.
- 50:42SPEAKER_02: They they took the roast out the out the oven and ate it while we were watching, they started drinking our beers.
- 50:50SPEAKER_02: They were looking at our at our wise and girlfriends and asking her to bring them the Kool-Aid.
- 50:55SPEAKER_02: You can't let nobody get that comfortable in your house, man.
- 50:58SPEAKER_02: So we need to say we are not gonna allow you to come in here and we're gonna start here people right away.
- 51:07SPEAKER_05: Kiss kiss, that's all I say.
- 51:10SPEAKER_05: I'm not gonna say stupid, but keep it simple, sir.
- 51:13SPEAKER_05: Number one, we need to control that clock.
- 51:16SPEAKER_05: Number two, this ain't rocket science.
- 51:19SPEAKER_05: You got 291 yards last week.
- 51:21SPEAKER_05: My thing is this.
- 51:23SPEAKER_05: I love Caleb, I'd love to see him get 40 touchdowns.
- 51:26SPEAKER_05: But if I can run the ball, every player, you can't stop me.
- 51:30SPEAKER_05: Guess what?
- 51:30SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna keep running the ball.
- 51:32SPEAKER_05: But the other thing is on the defense, man, we we want to try to get a few, we want to get more three and outs.
- 51:38SPEAKER_05: Uh, if we knock those penalty, we knock those penalties down, just say if we knocked it down to six, and the other most important thing that I've been preaching since I've been on here, man, we gotta be on the 50 plus percent side in the red zone.
- 51:52SPEAKER_05: We need to execute.
- 51:53SPEAKER_05: But I think Ben Johnson is gonna be out there talking about man, you know what, man?
- 51:57SPEAKER_05: I was on the radio, I was on it the other day, and I saw some Vikings players in Walmart, man.
- 52:01SPEAKER_05: They said, Your mama ain't really got no Hawaiian silky in her head, man.
- 52:05SPEAKER_05: And he gonna probably say some diabolical stuff, but what I do love about the Bears right now, and I feel very comfortable that I think they're gonna come out and do that thing, that no block, no rock, everybody has bought into it, and it's gonna make a huge difference.
- 52:20SPEAKER_03: Hey, and you find out, and if you and you find out if you if you stick to that, you may get rewarded in the end.
- 52:27SPEAKER_03: That's my guy, man.
- 52:28SPEAKER_03: I've been telling, I've been telling, I've been telling that guy since the last year, man.
- 52:31SPEAKER_03: That's what they walk is that dude, man.
- 52:34SPEAKER_03: He is that dude, he is the one that got undrafted and came in, put his head down, done the work, and he's getting rewarded for it.
- 52:43SPEAKER_03: And well deserved.
- 52:46SPEAKER_03: Well deserved.
- 52:47SPEAKER_02: That run all by Manonga, it's a thing of beauty.
- 52:50SPEAKER_02: I've kept watching it over and over, and every time I watched it, that was perfect execution.
- 52:57SPEAKER_02: You saw uh Khalif Raymond coming off, hitting uh uh hitting on one of the uh corners in this in his ear hole, taking him out.
- 53:06SPEAKER_02: You saw Burden blocking.
- 53:08SPEAKER_02: You saw I'm not even talking about the interior lineman, I'm talking about the secondary and tertiary players were coming out laying down stuff.
- 53:18SPEAKER_02: They they were the epitome of no block, no rock.
- 53:23SPEAKER_03: That run was created.
- 53:25SPEAKER_03: That run was created by three wide receivers, and they're blocking.
- 53:30SPEAKER_03: That's what it was.
- 53:31SPEAKER_03: If you go back and look at that play, like you said, Frank, every you saw every wide receiver make a key block.
- 53:37SPEAKER_03: Yep, and you had Zade come from across the field.
- 53:41SPEAKER_03: Now he in between, he didn't make a bone-headed play and turn around.
- 53:45SPEAKER_03: He's like, I'm just gonna run in between them.
- 53:47SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna I'm gonna throw my body out here, they're gonna run me over, but my guy is going to the end zone.
- 53:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's everybody on this team has bought in, and that's the thing.
- 53:58SPEAKER_03: I just I like this team because I just feel like they've taken on the persona of their head coach, and Dan Johnson is just such a no nonsense guy.
- 54:10SPEAKER_03: Somebody asked him in the media this week about 59 points.
- 54:14SPEAKER_03: He was like, We ain't scoring no points this week, right?
- 54:17SPEAKER_06: I love it.
- 54:18SPEAKER_03: I love it.
- 54:19SPEAKER_06: Yes, yeah, hey Jay.
- 54:21SPEAKER_04: Jay, the reference to how they set that play up.
- 54:24SPEAKER_04: I was looking at the breakdown of that play.
- 54:27SPEAKER_04: Man, that was beautiful the way the whole scheme of it was.
- 54:31SPEAKER_04: I want to say it was uh comet, is either comet or uh uh coast and of I can't remember who was playing tight end at the time.
- 54:39SPEAKER_04: They went under the formation behind the formation, which drew the safety attention to that that's my man, and he's going across right, and so something is going that direction, right?
- 54:53SPEAKER_04: Again, the receiver that was outside of him, I think it was Luther Burton.
- 54:57SPEAKER_03: It was Luther Burton.
- 54:58SPEAKER_03: He ran across the formation.
- 55:00SPEAKER_04: He came across the formation, and the way he hesitated, he made the uh safe the corner on that side.
- 55:08SPEAKER_04: He almost like ran a pick when he slowed up, right?
- 55:11SPEAKER_04: Because the way he ran around, he kind of blocked his vision and put him out of position.
- 55:16SPEAKER_04: Where when he came through there, it was like ain't nobody left between but me in that safety now.
- 55:21SPEAKER_04: With uh when uh when uh Monaga came through there, but beautiful thing.
- 55:25SPEAKER_04: But anyway, I got my score for the game.
- 55:28SPEAKER_04: I have the Bears winning 38 to 26.
- 55:36SPEAKER_03: Okay, okay.
- 55:38SPEAKER_03: Right, I'm like, I'm like, okay.
- 55:40SPEAKER_02: I don't have it quite that bad, Bernard.
- 55:42SPEAKER_02: I got the bears winning 25 to 21, and with that 25, that actually breaks the record of the bears over the first two games, either way.
- 55:55SPEAKER_05: I got 30 to 24 bears.
- 55:58SPEAKER_05: I think it's gonna probably be a little bit closer.
- 56:01SPEAKER_05: Um, what one thing I would like to do, I would like to see happen, put Zod in as a uh as a decoy.
- 56:08SPEAKER_05: Because I'm gonna I don't care what nobody says.
- 56:10SPEAKER_05: There isn't a station that I looked at that mentioned the Chicago Bears that that was on there that didn't just mention Chicago Bears, but that preseason game when your boy went out in that safeties trying to angle off and still couldn't catch him.
- 56:23SPEAKER_05: Trust and believe, some people say, Oh, well, just a fast play.
- 56:26SPEAKER_05: Every dog on defensive coordinator looked at that like if you see that dude on the field, you better step off because if he catch the ball and he's three inches in front of you, he's gone.
- 56:36SPEAKER_05: But 3024 Bears.
- 56:38SPEAKER_04: Okay, well, uh let's get J the close up.
- 56:47SPEAKER_05: If he says something bad, can I come out of hiding Bernard?
- 56:50SPEAKER_03: Let me tell y'all something.
- 56:52SPEAKER_03: Let me tell y'all something.
- 56:54SPEAKER_03: After watching this office click last week, Bears 44.
- 57:01SPEAKER_03: Oh Vikings 20.
- 57:03SPEAKER_05: Oh man, you were supposed to say something, man.
- 57:05SPEAKER_05: I'm tired of hiding.
- 57:09SPEAKER_03: Hey, I just think that right now, Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams is on a missing.
- 57:20SPEAKER_03: And with DeAndre Swift and Kyle Manunga in this run game, Caleb can throw for 250 every week.
- 57:30SPEAKER_03: But this run game, until you're able to stop this run game, yeah, it's smashing out touchdowns down your throat.
- 57:38SPEAKER_03: This this run game is scary.
- 57:41SPEAKER_03: And if people don't realize this is where the bears getting their bread and butter from, they're gonna continue to score points.
- 57:51SPEAKER_03: And as long as B flow gonna try to blitz, if he decides that that's what he's gonna do, it can get real ugly as a field.
- 58:02SPEAKER_03: It can get real ugly.
- 58:05SPEAKER_02: Well, you talking about player of the week, Deion DeAndre Swift.
- 58:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the guy that we hadn't even mentioned the whole show until now.
- 58:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 58:15SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
- 58:16SPEAKER_05: That's Mr.
- 58:16SPEAKER_05: Swift to us.
- 58:18SPEAKER_03: Look, so we're talking about we talking about the NFC offensive player of the week, yeah, and Caleb Williams won the FedEx ground game player or L player, whatever it is.
- 58:34SPEAKER_03: So we had two players of the week in one week, and like I say, I know it's only week one, but right now, what Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams got cooking right now.
- 58:46SPEAKER_03: You really you really gonna have to be on your game and start this.
- 58:49SPEAKER_04: With that, uh, there were three things that defenses were concerned about.
- 58:54SPEAKER_04: The Bears was one, his ability to avoid sacks.
- 59:00SPEAKER_04: They you know, you teams were concerned and starting to get worried, right?
- 59:04SPEAKER_04: Trying to figure out ways to pressure him.
- 59:07SPEAKER_04: The other second thing was the bears' ability to run the ball was concerning.
- 59:13SPEAKER_04: And the third thing, man, that game ain't over until that clock gets 0-0, right?
- 59:20SPEAKER_04: This year, you you keep those same three things as uh basis.
- 59:24SPEAKER_04: Now you're looking at like Cal Managa actually could take it to the house, so it ain't like if he just he's gonna get you five or ten yards, he just broke a 60-something yard run.
- 59:35SPEAKER_04: That's concerning.
- 59:36SPEAKER_04: Then you like they got that much speed.
- 59:39SPEAKER_04: Now you're seeing guys in the first game catch balls that they dropped last year, man.
- 59:45SPEAKER_04: But you almost like somebody mentioned early, man.
- 59:51SPEAKER_04: How long can we stay on offense as an opponent, right?
- 59:54SPEAKER_04: Because we don't want them to get the ball, right?
- 59:57SPEAKER_04: You had six Russian touchdowns.
- 59:59SPEAKER_04: That's scary, like yeah, yeah.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_05: They just uh they just announced, they just announced that they're gonna allow linebackers to have folding chairs because I'm gonna tell you the Bears right now.
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_05: The way they run it, if they run a play action, you're gonna see the linebacker flip the chair out, just sit.
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_05: He could just he ain't gonna even move.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_05: I'm telling you, right now, with the way that we're running the ball, the word exaggerated comes out.
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_05: You're gonna actually see linebackers play Mr.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_05: Freeze.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_05: It ain't gonna be no, oh, I'm gonna take a gamble with them running like that.
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_05: He run a play action.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_05: Guys gonna be just like this.
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_05: Like, dang, he decided to pass the ball.
- 1:00:40SPEAKER_05: I'm with it, man.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_05: My man, okay.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_05: Xavion Thomas gets his debut TD.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_05: Caleb runs in a TD.
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_05: Loveland gets his first TD.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_05: 35-17 bears.
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_05: I like it.
- 1:00:52SPEAKER_04: Like that.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_04: He said 30.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_04: Okay, thanks for your uh uh 35-17.
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_04: Your score.
- 1:00:57SPEAKER_04: Let me recap.
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_04: Plaint has the bears winning 25-21.
- 1:01:01SPEAKER_04: Matter of fact, for simplicity, everybody has the bears, Jay uh 44-20, guy 30-24, and me 38-26.
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_04: Jay got them beating them worse than I do.
- 1:01:14SPEAKER_04: A biggest friend.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_02: They got Harrison Smith, uh 97-year-old, but up back there playing safety.
- 1:01:20SPEAKER_02: He he is a difference maker.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_02: So quick, I'll just do it the whole game.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_05: Quick, man.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_02: Hey, if it's quick, hey man, quick.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_02: Quick, if that comes up right, I'm gonna get a defensive.
- 1:01:33SPEAKER_02: Hey, forget you quick.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_02: Quick, quick got a 4024.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_04: Hey, hey, look, since quick comment reminded me, make sure you turn, I mean, if he's back and up and running by next week, you know.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_04: Man, tune in to out of bounds, man.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_04: That that show was quick.
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_04: It was a good show, yes, sir.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_04: It was a good show.
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_04: He's gonna do a mixture of different one of us, like so.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_04: Maybe it becomes his one show be quick and Jay, quick and plain, quick and guy, quick and me, quick and some guests, but quick is out of bounds.
