[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
0:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Another Wednesday, another edition of Bears Overbears, Power by Second City Grid Iron.
0:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I am Ryan Drosty with my co-host, my good friend Brian Orangeuk.
0:23
[SPEAKER_02]: He's sporting the Reiner Lackard jersey this week.
0:27
[SPEAKER_02]: The Clark Griswald Chicago Bears script hat.
0:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it Brian.
0:30
[SPEAKER_02]: How you doing tonight?
0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: through a well, man, do well.
0:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I gotta say, these white jerseys, especially this when I've had it for close to 30 years now.
0:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And gosh, I guess it's been 28, 25.
0:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's enough.
0:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.
0:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It's somewhere around there.
0:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um,
0:47
[SPEAKER_00]: There are there are more stains on this than you can count.
0:50
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not when I wear it in public much, but that's the type of game I think we're going to need to play this week at a dirty game defensive battle with some guy stepping up making big plays, you know, I'm reminded every time I see this one of Earl Acre picking off far, been taking it to the house.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think we're going to need that sort of momentous play from our defense this week against an explosive offense.
1:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So dust it it off man I've not worn it and if you recall our two games prior to the buy I sported a jersey.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Walter both times But it was away for the away game home for the home game So I'm rocking with the the trend right now.
1:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see how it pans out, but
1:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Excited to be with you on Wednesday, man.
1:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Excited for this game.
1:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously we're after way to a little bit extra.
1:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of looking forward to no more prime time games after Monday, but hey, last year they got us some prime time.
1:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's time to exact some revenge in prime time.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you think?
1:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, man.
1:50
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the revenge game.
1:52
[SPEAKER_02]: No matter how much they want to downplay it in the media.
1:55
[SPEAKER_02]: We know in that long.
1:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
1:57
[SPEAKER_02]: What's going on?
1:57
[SPEAKER_02]: They have to get, I don't want to call it a must win.
2:00
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they can lose this game in several good season.
2:03
[SPEAKER_02]: But if they go into Washington, Maryland, and win, they're going to be feeling pretty damn good.
2:09
[SPEAKER_02]: The way that game went last year.
2:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this, I just think for their psyche, this is a really important game, especially for Tirek Stevenson.
2:16
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, they're going to say, they're going to say, I know it's just another game in the media.
2:20
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not thinking about it kind of stuff.
2:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Although Ty Reak, you know, he's been pretty outspoken about it.
2:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
2:25
[SPEAKER_02]: But you know, they want to go in there.
2:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Get the win.
2:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is one of those games they circled, you know, when that schedule came out for sure.
2:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
2:32
[SPEAKER_02]: No, man, I love the thought that goes into the wardrobe choice.
2:34
[SPEAKER_02]: As I respect that, that's awesome.
2:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep that jersey thing going.
2:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep it, keep it going.
2:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, it's been, it's also been just a busy day in the Chicago sports world.
2:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I was telling you off air, man, I'm watching the cubs.
2:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, are you a cubs fan?
2:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to return to it.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm not, I'm not die hard, but I do watch a follow.
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I have been to a game at Riggly.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: but I'm not as much in the baseball now.
2:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I'm watching the game, you know, it's tough because the way this series is unfolded, it's like, look, man, I don't want to say it, but no walkie looks like clearly the better team.
3:10
[SPEAKER_02]: The cook best hitters are slumping at the wrong time.
3:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
3:13
[SPEAKER_02]: But hey, they found a way to get this one out, squeak it out tonight by one run, they live to fight another day.
3:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And if they can get game four, make this two, two, anything can happen in that deciding game.
3:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, we've seen them come back before in the playoffs being in a hole.
3:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, we'll see what happens.
3:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure that this team is quite what that team was back in 2016.
3:33
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I know they're not what that team was.
3:35
[SPEAKER_02]: But
3:36
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they could go on a run.
3:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Something could happen here.
3:38
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see.
3:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just happy to get another game of baseball.
3:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I did see him play twice this year.
3:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Took my family to a game back in May.
3:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm beat the reds.
3:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Went up to Minnesota.
3:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm losing the twins with my wife and a bunch of friends.
3:54
[SPEAKER_02]: That wasn't as fun.
3:55
[SPEAKER_02]: So what one in one this year, but yeah, one more game tomorrow night for sure, and then we'll see what happens this weekend.
4:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm looking forward to that looking forward to Monday night looking forward to drinking a beer with you, Brian.
4:07
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you got tonight?
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, kind of a grinded out game, uh, it's another Sierra Nevada.
4:21
[SPEAKER_00]: This one is a ruthless, right, IPA, ruthless.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, we're going to have to play a ruthless brand of ball this week to get it done.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's got to be a clean brand of ball.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: The commanders have played pretty clean ball so far and they've taken advantage of when their opponents do not do that.
4:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we need to play some clean ball, continue to win the turnover battle, but be ruthless throughout.
4:52
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a physical game.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to try to run all over us.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And we need to, we need to punch him in the mouth.
4:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So ruthless, right?
4:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Coming to love it.
5:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Love it.
5:02
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
5:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, this one doesn't really have any connections to the game.
5:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Although I pretty sure the first time I had this was out of bar in Chicago.
5:09
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll show this one off on the air.
5:12
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from, let's see, old nation brewing, which is out of Williamston, Michigan.
5:20
[SPEAKER_02]: It is M43, Northeastern, India Pale Ale.
5:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 6.8% it's got a lot of different hops in this one.
5:32
[SPEAKER_02]: We got Amorillo, Simcoe, Citroes, my favorite hop in an IPA.
5:38
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm pretty sure I had this one.
5:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I think after 2019, I went to the Bears, Bears Vikings game, the Soldier Field, my dad and I hit up a bar down afterwards.
5:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I had this one on tap and really liked it.
5:55
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, they're getting this and I will now.
5:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw on the shelf had fond memories of a Bears victory.
6:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, man.
6:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I love I love a little IPA.
6:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it's you know, it's starting to finally get a little colder around here.
6:08
[SPEAKER_02]: It was 37 degrees this morning.
6:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, which is nice crisp fall air.
6:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that.
6:15
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been a couple of days ago is about 90 still.
6:18
[SPEAKER_02]: But now it's cool.
6:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And we had a storm come through.
6:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was Monday night.
6:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And now it's finally cool and down.
6:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
6:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably get into some darker beers as the show goes on this year, but right now, man, I am still on the IPA kick.
6:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm right there with you, Row.
6:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Matching glasses like that.
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: You washers, cheers.
6:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Cheers.
6:40
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
6:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is good as I remember.
6:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Ruth is right by the way, I've had that one.
6:45
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a solid beer.
6:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice choice.
6:49
[SPEAKER_02]: good.
6:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It's solid.
6:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It does have citrusy hops on the front.
6:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Got a little more of a peppery bitter finish than I love.
6:59
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's got an interesting flavor profile.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: See how dark it is.
7:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like an animal most.
7:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
7:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
7:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
7:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
7:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys root this.
7:08
[SPEAKER_02]: You can tell that one's a citra hop, it's got that orange juice look to it for sure, right?
7:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, all right, let's talk a little bears football.
7:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys, if you're joining us in the chat, by the way, let us know if you drink in tonight and let us know your thoughts on the matchup with the commies on Monday night football and hit the like button that'll help us out a lot here.
7:29
[SPEAKER_02]: As we try to get this video ranking in the old ever powerful YouTube algorithm, all right?
7:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, we got Jane Daniels.
7:39
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been heard a little bit with the niece brand this year, but he came back last week against the chargers had a chance to watch the game and you know, it was kind of an up and down game just like his season has been this year started off slow.
7:55
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the commander's got in a 10-0 hole, and then they rolled off 27 straight points.
8:00
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'd get in the win and just watching the game, Jaden was inaccurate in the first half.
8:07
[SPEAKER_02]: But in the second half, you know, they started to scheme up some more wide open receivers to him.
8:11
[SPEAKER_02]: He started to hit those passes, especially the Debo down the stretch, had some great throws to him, cleaning a touchdown pass in the back right corner of the end zone.
8:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, he's used to, he was looking like the Jaden of last year by the end of the game, but, you know, in the first half, maybe not so much.
8:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, like I said, Brian, that's kind of been the theme this year is he hasn't been bad, but he hasn't been like otherworldly like he was last year.
8:34
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, so how are you feeling about the matchup with Jaden Daniels on Monday night?
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, one of the reasons this is such a big game is not just because of the the revenge factor right they went on to make the playoffs and then went on a deep run in the playoffs so so this is a contender within our conference.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
9:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a big deal for playoff implications, seating and all that stuff.
9:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a lot on the line this week.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: They're also obviously three and two.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They got one more win than we do thus far.
9:14
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got some talent on both sides of the ball.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They've started adding pieces if you remember Vaughn Miller, Dibo was another one where they're ready to win now.
9:25
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what that tells you.
9:26
[SPEAKER_00]: and you could tell.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So they definitely pose a challenge.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But watch in that game last week, the chargers had control over the entire first half.
9:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you remember, lad Maconkey returned an epic punt return for a touchdown right before half that got called back, that then ended up turning into points for the commanders.
9:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And had that gone in the chargers way and not have that stupid rough in the the punner rough in the kicker penalty it's 17.0 going to halftime, you know, I don't think they come back from that.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's a lot of penalties at game.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the commander of the Chargers had 10 penalties, you know, a couple turnovers and interception on the goal line.
10:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
10:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, you're not going to win games against the day and Quinn team that way.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and Ben alluded to, we got to play clean ball.
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: We have to continue to win the turnover battle.
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We have to improve on our penalties.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: It's something he really was focusing on in the by week.
10:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see, we're getting some reinforcements back.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple guys, we're getting back.
10:34
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have last year.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Some key guys, especially in the defense of backfield.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have to quam brisker.
10:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have Kyler Gordon last year either.
10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can't wait to see how Dennis Allen employs Spidey.
10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be huge in this game, especially against the run.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But also, I expect him to get a blitz, get a sack on Jayden this week as well.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a huge challenge.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a worthy prime time game early in the season, hopefully it has that playoff vibe.
11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You know how you can watch games in prime time or any time, you're like, this is playoff caliber football.
11:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, you know, middle of October, I hope we see that.
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And if we end up losing, I just hope that we look like we belong, you know, in the playoff against the contender.
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think we do have a chance if we can play cleanball and and continue to build off of what we've done so far.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: How about you?
11:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, it's real interesting because, you know, obviously, Jaden got all the hype last year, deservedly so the season he had, getting to the conference championship game.
11:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
11:39
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, this year, Caleb is basically beating him in almost every statistical category right now.
11:46
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Jaden's played three games, Caleb's played four games.
11:49
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, he started to look at the averages and where they're at, Caleb's got a QBR
11:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Jayden, KBR is 23rd in the league, 45 and a half.
12:03
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... passer rating you look at that calbs at a ninety seven point eight jayton's at ninety three point two jayton's got four touchdown passes in three games no interceptions uh... uh... to kaleb and four games eight td's two interceptions uh... you know so and you know calbs sixty two point three percent in the completion versus like i was saying jayton's been having accuracy issues at a fifty nine point two
12:29
[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, I unquestionably Caleb I think is having the better year right now, you know, they played one more game there at three and two on an individual level.
12:38
[SPEAKER_02]: He's having the better, he's having the better year, but yeah, I, you know, I feel pretty confident the offense is going to continue to grow.
12:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I still have the concerns obviously about the running game.
12:51
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think Jayden has taken one more sack than Caleb.
12:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's been sack eight times, Caleb's seven.
12:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But watching to really got after the quarterback last week, you know, and we know there's some movements on our online, I guess from the practice report I was seeing today, Theo Bennett is playing on the left side right now with the first team.
13:13
[SPEAKER_02]: And we don't really know if Darnell's going to play yet.
13:17
[SPEAKER_02]: We haven't got an official injury report.
13:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, as you will probably step back in if not, but right now Theo on the left side.
13:25
[SPEAKER_02]: So we got to protect the quarterback.
13:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Kales are going to have to get the ball out quickly because they were really getting after it.
13:29
[SPEAKER_02]: They weren't shy about rushing Herbert last week.
13:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So I am a little worried about that.
13:35
[SPEAKER_02]: That that's one of my concerns is just protecting Caleb But I think if you can get the ball out quickly if Rome can get open, you know, we could have a good day You mentioned the people coming back from injury.
13:47
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we'll see what happens with Austin bucker You know, he's our guy.
13:51
[SPEAKER_02]: We talk about Austin bucker on the show a lot.
13:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We got hopes for Austin Booker obviously as someone that can help with this past rush
13:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Grady Jarrett looks like he's him and brisker actually mentioned brisker.
14:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Grady Jarrett and brisker have been out of practice this week so far.
14:06
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't really know what brisker's dealing with.
14:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I haven't seen anything on what the injury is.
14:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Find out where tomorrow.
14:12
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, obviously that would hurt if we don't have him out there, but we are getting Kyler back and Brian, you've talked a lot on the show about how Kyler board is so important, not just in the passing game, but also in stopping the run.
14:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He's one of those true threats in both the past game for our defense and the running game.
14:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, with all the injuries we have with Jalen down, you know, he's traditionally in that nickel-back spot, but he can play on the outside if we need him to.
14:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, so worth following what happens with Brisker, Darnell, obviously.
14:44
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, I feel like it's a winnable game.
14:46
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a hostile environment.
14:48
[SPEAKER_02]: No question about it.
14:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I do think it's very winnable.
14:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he can go in there and get this win.
14:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Get on the right side of 500.
14:56
[SPEAKER_02]: come home, you get the Saints at home, a game you should win, and we get this ball rolling right.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, absolutely a wonderful game.
15:04
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to come correct though.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to know if you've seen the post by records that we've had over the last 10 years or so.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We've won like one or two post by and last 10 plus years.
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Granted, we've had different coaching staffs, and this is one that seems to be on his
15:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I'm eager to see all the changes you referenced with the offensive line with some of the defensive backs coming back.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And I anticipate Kyler playing in the slot this week, mostly because of that run support, because of his closer to the action, also with the emergence of Tyreek, who I'm also really looking forward to.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: You mentioned he's been outspoken, he sounds really
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: his, his vulnerable even, you know, his learning process through it all.
16:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm looking forward to seeing him.
16:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he'll match up well.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: but yeah, winnable gay men and I'm stoked to see collar back, but like I said, I think it'll be closer to the line.
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: My main concern still is the defensive interior of the line and they're their interior.
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they've got Tyler Beattitch at center.
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: They're down one of their guards.
16:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam caused me.
16:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they have Aligretti back though.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got a strong interior O-Line and they create some space for their runners.
16:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, like I was saying, some folks on Wendy's City Gridiron today, doesn't matter if T.J.
16:41
[SPEAKER_00]: wears his back, briskers in, collars in, if they're getting four or five yards apart before they even get touched.
16:48
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're not going to have a chance.
16:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Those guys, you know, we need, we need our defensive tackles to step up.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully, Grady Jarrett's back healthy, hopefully, Billings is, you know, up to snuff and then Dexter can make some plays.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if they dominate the trenches, it's going to be a long day.
17:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no question about it.
17:07
[SPEAKER_02]: We get some people in the chat here checking in.
17:10
[SPEAKER_02]: So Anthony says, statement, game for Caleb to change the narrative around him versus Jaden.
17:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
17:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Daniel checking in, happy Wednesday.
17:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Daniel's usually here with us most Wednesday nights.
17:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no question Anthony is sweat alive.
17:26
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll find out, we, you know, face and off against his former team, you would think he would be motivated to have a really good night.
17:32
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see.
17:33
[SPEAKER_02]: But man, you know, he goes missing.
17:36
[SPEAKER_02]: That is no question about it.
17:38
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Joe had pointed out to about the chargers having those injuries on the O line.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, you're right.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And their injuries were mostly, you know, mostly at tackle.
17:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're down to their third string left tackle.
17:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And they lit up.
17:52
[SPEAKER_00]: two plus sacks to the ends against the commanders and I definitely think that through off that game I think the chargers win handedly if they've got their whole offensive line I don't think they had their center either.
18:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So absolutely right, you know, but again this might be Theo's first start ever.
18:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So how much better is is a second year UDFA then you know who the chargers had last week?
18:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
18:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully Ben Johnson knows what he's doing
18:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm with you though, man, I think it's going to be a huge statement game for Caleb.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I think like you said, it has the season has gone on so far he's already been looking better.
18:27
[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is the commander has had a couple of big wins already, man.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They have one more win than us.
18:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And we had that embarrassing two, the first week of the season, on prime time, embarrassing loss, second week dominated by the lion.
18:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've not looked good when it mattered most so far, but this would go a long way as far as sweat is concerned.
18:48
[SPEAKER_00]: His best game last year, that I remember, was against the commanders.
18:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's actually done well this season when it comes to his pressures.
18:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm confident that that especially with your boy awesome booker coming back, man.
19:04
[SPEAKER_00]: If he can actually come back, which I believe he was, I know he was designated to return.
19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I wrote a piece on that, but it was announced.
19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think the window is officially, he's going to be active.
19:14
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: But get some extra pressure in there, man.
19:17
[SPEAKER_00]: How sweet would that be if he comes in there?
19:19
[SPEAKER_00]: We have it.
19:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I really, really hope to see him because I mean, the way he was looking at preseason.
19:24
[SPEAKER_02]: my suggestion at training camp last year to my daughter's go get that man's autograph.
19:29
[SPEAKER_02]: He could be really good.
19:31
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was feeling really good about that prediction.
19:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Watch him in the preseason games at least.
19:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And I we just need somebody else to get after the quarterback, you know, on that outside.
19:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm really, really hoping we see him out there and see what he can do.
19:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I looked up the stats from last year's game against the commanders.
19:48
[SPEAKER_02]: You are right.
19:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Montes, sweat, had four tackles.
19:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Three of them solo.
19:54
[SPEAKER_02]: It is sack.
19:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Two tackles for loss.
19:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Three cuby hits.
19:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And that game last year.
20:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's a monster.
20:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
20:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, I don't think we need to talk much more about that game, you know, we know Caleb didn't have a good night, but they still, you know, he still put him in position to win at the end, like we talked about in the show last week, even in the games where he hasn't looked as best.
20:18
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got that clutch gene.
20:19
[SPEAKER_02]: He is a guy who can put you in position to win.
20:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen him do it over and over and then just two years, not even two years, a year and a quarter.
20:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's been with this team?
20:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And we all know they should have won that game.
20:31
[SPEAKER_02]: They were a play away from going to five and two.
20:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And so they lose that game, they're foreign three.
20:35
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, this really has the opportunity to be one of those games that we set the tone for a stretch where we looked at it last week on the show Brian.
20:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Look pretty winnable.
20:49
[SPEAKER_02]: There's some things happening with some of these teams we're playing that makes it seem like, you know, like at the beginning of the year that bangles game.
20:57
[SPEAKER_02]: look like it was going to be a really, really tough one.
20:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And now it looks like much more winnable, you know, stuff like that happening where God, we could really roll off some wins and put us in a good position when we get to that back stretch on the schedule where things get really, really difficult.
21:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I mean, I'm just overall, we hopefully Jerry gets out there to help solidify this run defense finally, you know, with Kyler coming back.
21:21
[SPEAKER_02]: potentially with Booker out there because they've they've got a good backfield.
21:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Washington relies kind of on three guys.
21:29
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I got McNickles back there.
21:30
[SPEAKER_02]: You got Rodriguez Jr.
21:32
[SPEAKER_02]: back there.
21:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And then last week, Krosky Merritt had this best game as a pro.
21:37
[SPEAKER_02]: 14 carries 111 yards average 7.9 a carry.
21:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Two touchdowns.
21:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, when I was watching that game, that made me worried because for two years now, we haven't made a stop to run.
21:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is the game to prove it, you know, for Dennis Allen to show that during this by week, he's been able to to fix the run defense, which hasn't looked great, Brian so far.
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been our Achilles heel.
22:03
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so many people are clamoring for a blue chip edge prospect, whether it be free
22:14
[SPEAKER_00]: give me a dexter Lawrence.
22:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'll take you even a just and Jeffrey or just as Jeffrey Simmons rather, sorry, you know, give me a stud defensive tackle right now because we need that that stoutness up front that is our Achilles heel.
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you can't get off the field on third down,
22:35
[SPEAKER_00]: which ironically enough, for like one of the worst defensive teams from the advanced metrics standpoint, it first down at second down defense.
22:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But third down were leaked.
22:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of a weird season statistically so far.
22:49
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, our defensive front, we need to be able to stop the run and they're gonna post some challenges.
22:55
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of it has to do with Jaden Daniel's open and stuff stuff up.
22:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he had eight carries last week alone.
23:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got similar average to Caleb this year.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Caleb has like a 4.8.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a 4.6 might be vice versa.
23:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's run more in his three games and Caleb has an all four.
23:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, we got to watch out.
23:15
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got some fast line backers that can do that job.
23:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, having Tyler back is gonna help.
23:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Sweat is really motivated to contain, but that's where this comes in.
23:25
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to put a helmet on him.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to give him a good lick and if he decides to go out there and run, which is really why I hope to quen briskers back, who's kind of one of our greatest enforcer on defense.
23:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't here last year against them, but we need to put some hats on them, make them feel it.
23:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, crosskey merit, he was one of my guys I shouted out early in the season as far as a rookie who I think is going to have a big year and he looked like last week for sure.
23:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to have our hands full glad we're getting some reinforcements back for that though.
23:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, no question about it.
24:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and you know, LA, the chargers again some last week, they ran the ball all right, like we got to get this bear's run game going.
24:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, another thing we've talked about every single week on here, you know, Herbert had some big runs against them when he scrambled, you know, watching Herbert do them, they can Caleb can do the same thing.
24:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, you know, but they're, they're running backs too.
24:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they all together, they're running backs average like right around four yards.
24:26
[SPEAKER_02]: for Carrie or so against Washington.
24:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's gonna be opportunities to run the ball.
24:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And we'll see if Roshan finally emerges from the shadows, emerges from special teams and actually gets some parries.
24:38
[SPEAKER_02]: But Swift's got to continue to prove it.
24:42
[SPEAKER_02]: and we'll see what happens there.
24:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Otherwise, we talked about the show last week.
24:45
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys can check the archives, the possibilities of some trades if we have to, but we're hopeful that we can get this thing going.
24:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I don't know what the deal is with Rochon Johnson.
24:56
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy who, in the times we've seen him run, he looks like he has something to me.
25:02
[SPEAKER_02]: He always seems to move forward, he falls forward,
25:05
[SPEAKER_02]: he's the guy like between the tackles that seems to run the best, you know, what we've seen.
25:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Homer obviously is back off the injury report, too.
25:12
[SPEAKER_02]: He's another guy he could throw in there.
25:14
[SPEAKER_02]: But man, I want to see Rochon get some carries in this game.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember if he, if he got any last year, I think he did.
25:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But obviously Swift took over.
25:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Swift had a dominating performance last year against them.
25:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm looking forward to him doing something similar.
25:34
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I think Ben Johnson is going to focus on getting this ground game going.
25:40
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people are out on Dianjray, but Ben even talked about today.
25:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He said the run game is hard to really great any other running backs because of
25:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We know what they're running against, what they're seeing when they run.
25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to guy, unblock guy in their face almost every time.
25:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And whereas a guy like Rochon might take that guy on head on and fall forward for two three yards, Swift is going to try to make something happen.
26:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And that doesn't always lead to good things.
26:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Usually, especially in this league, it ends up leading the worst things unless you're very Sanders.
26:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And even then, he had to think he led the leagues, buried it, and
26:19
[SPEAKER_00]: yards rushed that were negative.
26:21
[SPEAKER_00]: More than anyone else, the problem was he did it so often, he also turned it into 75 yards touchdown runs.
26:27
[SPEAKER_00]: But, and Swift is not that, but we got to shore some things up in the run game.
26:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the one thing I'm excited about with Theo over on the left side is all of a sudden, last week, we could run the ball in that second half when Theo moved over to the left, and Ozzy was on the right now.
26:45
[SPEAKER_00]: real question is, is Darnell Rye going to be back?
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be a question mark.
26:50
[SPEAKER_00]: But either way, I think our wrong game takes a little step up this week, it's definitely going to need to.
26:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's going to be a focal point of a bank home place.
26:59
[SPEAKER_02]: the injury report tomorrow.
27:01
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the first official injury report of the week is pushed back since we're on Monday night football.
27:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I usually cover that on Wendy City, Gerard Iron.
27:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll have that out for you guys tomorrow.
27:10
[SPEAKER_02]: But they don't actually, tomorrow's actually a day off.
27:12
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not going to be on the practice field.
27:13
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be an estimation.
27:15
[SPEAKER_02]: But just to see, you know, what is going on with Jacquan Brisker?
27:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, why wasn't he practicing?
27:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, to see where TJ's at too and some of these other guys.
27:23
[SPEAKER_02]: But
27:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I looked at the box for last year.
27:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Swift had 18 carries for 129 yards, 7.2 average.
27:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Roachon had a couple of carries in the game.
27:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Two carries for six yards.
27:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Caleb had 47 yards on the ground against Washington last year.
27:39
[SPEAKER_02]: So, man, if the Andre Swift get 129 yards on the ground in this game, bear should win.
27:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we'll see.
27:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
27:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm really fascinated.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: to again, back to it, where you say a game going to come down and watch throwing games.
27:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
27:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Joseph's game is going to come down to the Washington run game against our week, run defense versus Caleb's arm against Washington's week secondary.
28:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.
28:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I also think we're going to have to slow them down a little bit on their offense.
28:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's going to be huge when it comes to Debo Samuel.
28:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of wonder if Dennis Allen
28:20
[SPEAKER_00]: shadowing debo with Kyler.
28:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you know, debo's a guy that likes to move all around the formation.
28:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So you need a DB that can move all around the formation is used to it.
28:31
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that would be a really good play in my opinion.
28:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They're similarly sized, both right around six foot
28:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe even right at 200, depending on where he's at.
28:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a big guy for a corner.
28:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He's definitely a physical corner.
28:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But Debo had 11 of the 23 targets that Jayden threw last week.
29:00
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll have it.
29:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you take Terry McCoran out there who did not practice today?
29:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And all of a sudden, Dibo's there guy, he's gonna be peppering.
29:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So if we can shut that down, that might force him to pull it down and give our past rush a little bit more time to get to him.
29:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see, but I think Dibo's gonna be key for sure.
29:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know how they like to run him as well, though he didn't get any carries last week, and he needed to.
29:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that's gonna be huge, but I agree.
29:27
[SPEAKER_00]: If we can stop the run, we have a really good chance.
29:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, as far as like the defensive rankings just looked up this, so run defense, Washington 17th in the league right now, your Chicago Bears 31st in the league and rushing defense.
29:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
29:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Passing defense, they're 23rd or 17.
29:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, a little more even there, but you know, we have a better past defense at least by the numbers right now when it comes down to yards per game.
29:59
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
30:00
[SPEAKER_02]: to Joe's point about their week, secondary.
30:02
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
30:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you want to make a pick?
30:05
[SPEAKER_02]: On the air this week for this one?
30:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Shoot.
30:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll go, I mean, I definitely, I definitely feel confident.
30:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, all the reasons mentioned, we're coming back healthy, healthier than we've been.
30:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Ben Johnson's first post by week got some elements of surprise.
30:22
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not all the way healthy.
30:23
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Jayden just came back last week.
30:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he was fully healthy, Terry's not healthy.
30:28
[SPEAKER_00]: They got some O-line injuries.
30:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously we're not healthy either, but I think we win this one.
30:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Gosh, let's say,
30:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's say we got twenty six to twenty four want to say and jake moody with the game winner.
30:52
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're thinking the thing Cairo won't be playing this week.
30:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyle Cairo.
31:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh Cairo.
31:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't be Cairo place.
31:03
[SPEAKER_00]: If I can read Ben Johnson, which I can't, but I'm getting a better fuel form as we learn more.
31:10
[SPEAKER_00]: But they held Cairo out, talking to him, talking to him to see how he's going to be a sign Jake Moody.
31:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they want to see what this young buck can do, see how he can perform.
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they can mold him into a reliable, you know, contributor.
31:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think, I think Jake Moody's going to be the one this week.
31:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man, if we're down by one point and Jake Moody's kicking that vehicle going to the game, I'm going to be a nervous wreck, I'm going to be texting you damn it you jinxed it better make this oh god.
31:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that'll be, that'll be something if it comes down to that.
31:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I, yeah, I do think it's going to be in the 20s.
31:49
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be real close.
31:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll say.
31:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll say bears 27, 24.
31:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll pretty close to where you're at.
31:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll say 27, 24.
32:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Last year, it was like 18 to 15 or something like that.
32:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 18 to 15.
32:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see you, man.
32:13
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be close.
32:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a fun one to watch.
32:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate waiting through the whole weekend for Monday night football, such a long wait.
32:20
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a little nice to have your Sunday though with no stress, Ryan.
32:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Sub back and watch a little red zone all day long.
32:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I might actually be going to the Pumpkin patch with the family that day.
32:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're early.
32:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Get that out of the way.
32:32
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, pictures take them and all of that.
32:34
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's a nice cool day.
32:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
32:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
32:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't like the trade off living on the East Coast for Monday nighters because then my Tuesday mornings are rough, no matter what.
32:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's just harder to, you know, we're getting too old to stay up to late.
32:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but it'll be fun to watch for sure.
32:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll crack open a pumpkin beer and, um, you know, open the window that that 40 40 degree temperature in and and watch some up-tumb no football on the on the tube.
33:10
[SPEAKER_00]: But, um, but yeah, man, I think it's a winnable game.
33:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
33:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really excited to see how they bounce back.
33:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we just have so many weapons.
33:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
33:23
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got so many weapons.
33:25
[SPEAKER_00]: DJ was our number one all last year.
33:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He still looks like he could be, but then he have Rome who's stepping up.
33:31
[SPEAKER_00]: All of me today is looking legit, and he's by the way another revenge factor there.
33:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He played for them last season, so he's got a little extra pepper in the step this week.
33:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got Luther Burden, Colson, Lovelin, Cole Comet, who's bouncing back, hopefully, and that improved offensive line.
33:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'd better be able to match our output last year in Kale's rookie season, but in that bad performance with new coach, new players around him and all that.
33:59
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'm excited to see it, man.
34:02
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, does Adunza keep his touchdown streak going?
34:05
[SPEAKER_02]: He's scoring a touchdown in every game this year so far.
34:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he does, I think he does, you know, they have Marshall on Latin more that's another guy.
34:14
[SPEAKER_00]: They kind of swung for the fence, thinking they were close.
34:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Marshall on a very overrated, especially at this stage of his career, but he's a big body, so I anticipate Rome get some matchups on him.
34:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Rome just toast him, you know, for sure.
34:31
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the guy on there, in their defense, a backfield that I have the most respect for is second-year pro Mike Sansra still from Michigan.
34:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of there slot, jackfall trades, weapon, back there, can play safety, can play cover corner.
34:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, he's, he's a, he's a big play way to happen.
34:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He can move all over, so I think if Caleb kind of void him, then we should be in a good spot.
34:57
[SPEAKER_02]: We should be getting Colson lovelin back this week too, you know, we know that he was dealing with the hip.
35:03
[SPEAKER_02]: For when I was reading, I think he's, again, we'll see the injury report.
35:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Usually we have an injury report to go off of on these Wednesday shows, but I think he'll probably be back this week and, you know, last, our last game against the Raiders was Col Comet's probably his worst game as a pro.
35:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So as you said, looking to bounce back from that, but if he's not looking right, hopefully maybe you can plug in Colson, uh,
35:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think it didn't say gets in the end zone.
35:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that DJ has a big game a couple of years ago Yeah, a huge game out there.
35:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was a Thursday night game I like four touchdowns.
35:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe from fields in that game Three three three three four yeah three three touchdowns man.
35:38
[SPEAKER_02]: He had a huge game.
35:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So He's played well in that stadium before we'll see.
35:43
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see what happened
35:47
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, one, one thing, two things that I think are kind of under the radar this week.
35:52
[SPEAKER_00]: One is more joking.
35:53
[SPEAKER_00]: The other is somewhat serious.
35:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Eddie Goldman returns the face to bear for one of the first times and a while.
36:01
[SPEAKER_00]: That guy still plays in the lead, you know, by quitting and retiring on us.
36:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's actually getting some decent snaps with them.
36:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would love to run it down his face.
36:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the second one is Preston Smith, former Green Bay Packer, has returned to the team that drafted him, and he's now a situational pass rusher with the commanders.
36:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's still got some juice himself.
36:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's just rounding back into form.
36:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they just signed a week before last.
36:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
36:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they got, they got some pieces over there, especially rushing the passers.
36:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So Caleb's gonna have his hands full, and so are tackles, but yeah, I like our chances.
36:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
36:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Vaughn Miller, the aging phenom, he looked decent last week, he had a sack in the game last week, form two.
36:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
36:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, like I said earlier, they get after the quarterback, they'll rush the quarterback.
36:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Caleb's gonna have to be on his game to win this one, but, you know, I think he's gonna continue to progress and his seasons are just gonna continue on the up and up,
37:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully we'll be here next week talking about a big win, because man, if we have three wins in a row, Brian, well, we're just not going to know what to do with ourselves.
37:10
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing we do know is they're going to watch Ryan break up in one of his fancy balls of bourbon.
37:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I did say that, didn't I?
37:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you sure?
37:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Hell's it.
37:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to that.
37:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just might, I just might open my, my one last remaining bottle of my Polish porter, my favorite beer, we'll see.
37:29
[SPEAKER_00]: If we can get this win on Monday night, depending on how convincing it is, it, you know, some wins just kind of like feel itky, although I don't know that that's possible for this one, but I'm just giving myself an easy ad if I don't want to open my porter up, but
37:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I said I'd open my bottle of blends or crack it open.
37:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It's already been open, but I'll be pouring the blends and my bears were bourbon glass next Wednesday night if we get the win because I say that one That's a tough to find bourbon man.
38:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I saved that for a special occasion, so we'll definitely be doing that bears junkie in the chat I think he probably met 28 to 17, but he's a 287
38:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Are he said negative 17?
38:19
[SPEAKER_02]: My God.
38:20
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
38:22
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
38:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Joe, he asked us about bold predictions.
38:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we were kind of just getting into that.
38:27
[SPEAKER_02]: But he said his as Gordon gets a sack and the INT.
38:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the prediction of Kyler getting in the backfield with a sack.
38:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
38:33
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to get after the quarterback.
38:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I say sack, formal forced.
38:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh.
38:37
[SPEAKER_00]: That montage picks up returns to the house.
38:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.
38:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
38:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, I love it.
38:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
38:44
[SPEAKER_02]: We're getting chills thinking about it.
38:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's because my basement's getting cold now.
38:51
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, anything else you want to hit on the game, Brian, before you wrap it up?
38:54
[SPEAKER_02]: We thought this might be a little bit shorter show this week, since we don't have a previous game to talk about, but anything else on your mind?
39:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Gosh, that's what I had on the agenda.
39:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we pretty much covered it, but yeah, we did, I mean, yeah, we covered it, I mean,
39:14
[SPEAKER_00]: who do you think scores first touchdown?
39:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go there.
39:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.
39:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think we do.
39:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, last week, the Chargers got off to a good start.
39:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, they're off 10 to zero.
39:25
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that first drive, they look good with the scripted play is going right down the field.
39:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna say we do the same thing.
39:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna say we get a touchdown on the opening drive.
39:34
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, I think I think you don't tighten up really quickly and it'll be a back and forth game.
39:38
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think?
39:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think whoever gets the ball first is going to score first.
39:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of coin flip right there.
39:48
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think that we score first.
39:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we drive down the field with relative ease and then score on a Caleb bootleg.
39:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to play action.
40:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, bootleg action.
40:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I think we'll ultimately pull it out.
40:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think Caleb gets the ball in the end first.
40:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say Caleb scores running the ball in.
40:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
40:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:15
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
40:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Real quickly, you guys didn't mention earlier.
40:18
[SPEAKER_02]: But we've been talking about this in the show every week.
