He'll be our guests 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.360 coming up at the bottom of the hour. Good evening, 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.440 Tom There, Hey, what's new, buddy? What is new? What 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.000 is new? Oh? Nothing? Just excited to be uh, you know, 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.320 watching the wires, the conversation about the NFL, the different 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.640 elements of the league they're talking about, the players trying 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.280 to get involved in the conversations and their own team speculation, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.720 where big free agents are going to go, and the 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.520 real the NFL year hasn't even gotten under way yet, 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.319 but there is never you never starved for a topic 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.760 with the you know, whether it be the Bears or 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.560 just the NFL in general. And honestly, it's that way 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.760 every year, big time. And you know what to what 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.320 are you referring to today? I mean, really, what really 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.880 came across the wire today? It's guess what quarterback conversations 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.600 We've already seen Matthew Stafford, movies seen Carson Wentz, Jason 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.600 excuse me, Jared Goff and now the constant drama what 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:12.160 appears to be around Deshaun Watson. According to ESPN meeting 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.959 with the new head coach, David Cutting says, Hey, listen, 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.640 I'm sticking to my guns. I don't want to play 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.000 for you. So now what now what? Well, I don't 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.200 think he necessarily doesn't want to play for the new 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.239 head coach. He doesn't want to play for the organization. So, 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.280 I mean, you know, it's really tough for you bringing 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.760 a head coach and he takes a job, and he's 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:36.720 excited because he has a franchise quarterback that could be 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.440 there for another decade, and you think of one of 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.200 the most important building blocks. But you know, it seems 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.200 like right now all a lot of the players that 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:49.000 are free agents are unhappy in what's going on with 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.160 themselves and their organizations. Hey, you know, it's they have 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.200 the talent. They have the ability to go out there 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.200 and say, look, I want to go elsewhere. I don't 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.800 know if it's the best thing for the NFL, But 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.400 that's just the world that we live in today. Everybody 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.320 has an opinion about where all these quarterbacks are going to. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.079 And then you got the agent force heat a quarterback 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.560 Russell Wilson. This is the one that stirred up Twitter today, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.760 not demanding a trade. According to his agent, Mark Rogers, 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.680 telling Adam Schefter of ESPN, wants to remain in Seattle. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.960 But if you're if you're thinking about moving me, there 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.440 are only poor places I want to go. One of 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.800 them is Chicago, one, Dallas, New Orleans, and Vegas. So 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.120 this is what's coming out of that camp. There seems 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.639 to be some bad blood blurret brillin there in some 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.839 former fashion because it's been several weeks of this kind 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.360 of constant conversation now about Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson, Well, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.760 you know what's the You know, it's in some of 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.360 the disagreement with Russell Wilson as he talks about he's 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.200 been sacked three hundred and ninety four times throughout a 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.200 period in Seattle, and then he talks he wants to 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.880 have a hand within the personnel decisions. And I don't 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.720 think that's a player's right. I think the players should 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.840 play the game. And um, you know the unfortunate way 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.240 the times that he holds the ball a little bit 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.840 longer than possibly he should, because he has great faith, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.800 in great trust in his athleticism, sometimes it does result 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.719 in a sack. So, man, I think if the most 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.880 important position on the team isn't focused about the team. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.600 It's really it could it could have some bad circumstances 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.080 to go along with him if he's only thinking about 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.800 what he can do, not necessarily what he should be doing. Right. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.720 I mean, he has been hit a lot, he has 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.120 been sacked a lot. There are many factors. It's it's 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.400 they've drafted a bunch of offensive linemen for a period 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.040 of time, there as many as any team in the 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:45.960 National Football League. They did get some terrific receiving weapons, 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.120 and he helped make some of those weapons better players 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.560 because of his ability. So it's an interesting cross section 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.440 of thoughts and it's a it's it's immovable objects. Here 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.520 you got you got a veteran head coach and Pete Carroll. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.799 You gotta now a veteran quarterback Russell Wilson that Seattle 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.200 drafted in the middle rounds to uh in a very 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.760 impactful ways, has risen to the challenge of not being 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.920 a first round pick. But you know, I have great 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.840 admiration for Russell Wilson. I think every time you'll get 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.960 a chance to watch him on TV or he plays 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:25.440 against the Bears, his athleticism how well physically conditioned he is, 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.679 how he can make an old defensive player look old 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.440 in the fourth quarter. So you know what, whatever he's 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.839 capable of doing, I admire what he's already put down 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.200 in terms of his early career template. And I'm sure 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.320 he's got a great deal of confidence in himself that 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.280 he can do the same thing if it is in 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.599 Seattle or if it is not in Seattle. Another nugget 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.880 today this week, I should say, not just today, and 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.839 we're getting a Jim Miller here and just just a 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.800 bit that Corey Linsley feels like he's not going to 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.159 be back with the Green Bay Packers. Considered by many 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.440 one of, if not the best center in football. He's 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.240 turning thirty in July. But again, this is all salary 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.279 cap related. You know, things are happening around every roster. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.440 There's gonna be a ton of at Denver today releasing 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:13.520 a five time Pro Bowl defensive tackle and Dull Casey, right, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.720 you know, with Lindsley and even Bakiar. I mean, it's 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.440 it's easy to be considered one of the best players 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.560 at your position when you play in front of Aaron Rodgers. Now, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.160 if you put these players on different teams. And we've 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.120 seen it throughout Peyton Manning's career where there's a couple 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.040 guy that I've gotten free agent opportunities with teams that 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.200 had lesser supporting cast and they never lived up to 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.719 the same role that they showed what they had the 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.039 ability when they were playing behind in front of Peyton Manning. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.520 So I think when you talk about the best center 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.000 in the league, you better just you know, temper that 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.760 a little bit. He's a good player, but he's got 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.719 one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.440 game behind him. Yeah, it happens at multiple positions. That 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.080 could think of many wide receivers that were a number 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.320 at two and number three and then they had a 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.040 great year because of the attention paid to their number one, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.680 and then he goes out in the free agent market 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:06.599 and never lives up to that building. Or a great 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.520 pass rusher is on one side and the other guy's 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.040 getting all the benefit because this guy's getting double team. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.080 Then now he becomes a high price free agent. So 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.960 it's all very interesting. We'll discuss with Jim Miller here 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.160 on Bears All Access after a first time out here 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:26.760 on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the score.

Welcome 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.480 back this week. How you feeling. I'm doing great, Jeff, Tom, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.240 always gonna be with you guys. So quiet though right now, right, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.480 this's just it's way too quiet in the NFL. I 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:01.400 just not enough's going on, not enough conversation. What the heck? Well, 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.120 and when's it gonna heat up? Jim, Yeah, I think 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.240 it's gonna start heat well. Teams are still figuring out. 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.840 There's a lot of I'm being I'm being facetious because 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.920 every minute there's some new rumor. Well, yeah, it's a 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.720 lot of well we call this the protest season. You know, 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.800 there's a lot of you know, players protesting about where 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.200 they want to be and where they want to go 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.400 and I don't want the tag and all these type 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.880 of things, and yeah, there's a lot of speculation and 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.200 in rumor, and some are just thrown out there because 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.360 there's really nothing to write about right now. I just 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.640 think teams are trying to figure out what they're going 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.400 to do in the next week or so. Probably in 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.000 the next ten days, you're going to see a blood 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.360 letting of players around the NFL. There is going to 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.000 be like right now, Pat and I went through it, 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.960 there's over five hundred free agents that are out there. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.520 I mean, there's over twenty free age and running backs 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.480 at that position alone. There's over forty defensive backs that 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.120 are out there. You just mentioned Durell Casey, he's on 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.520 the market. There literally will be over seven hundred free 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.079 age and guys that are on the market here in 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.960 the next ten days. There is going to be a 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.400 huge blood letting of teams that need to clear up 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.559 some cap space. Look at Denver by releasing a j 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.680 Bouyer and Joe Casey, they just got twenty four million 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.640 dollars back on their salary, GiB twenty four million dollars. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.280 What can you do with that money? And that's where 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.040 teams are really looking at right now, so that they 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.120 can clear up and get in this free agent market 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.880 as much as they can. I have a question for 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.160 both of you guys. If Trevor Lawrence wasn't such a 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.920 sure thing, would we be talking more about the first 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.640 couple picks of the draft, because it seems like we're 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.400 only talking about free agency. And that's the veteran side 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.000 of it. Where up unto this point, the three of 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.120 us may have had three or four conversations about the 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.360 combine and about the draft, but it just seems like 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.240 everybody's just you know, hey, Trevor Lawrence is going to 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.560 go here, and then let's see where everybody else falls into. Yeah, 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.199 I'll the way in first, because Jim, there is no combine, 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.160 so we're not there. We're talking about guy, because ordinarily 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.439 we'd be at the combine, we'll be getting together, we'd 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.800 be talking about everything that transpired over the course of 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.599 the week and what's going to happen next week or 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.800 who's gonna run this. Yeah, it's it's oddly different and 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.040 most of my fat I mean, I started strong right 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.320 when the playoffs started, getting ready for the draft and 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.800 starting that process, but I've shifted now to free agency. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.880 For what you just said, to have that many people 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.680 out on the free market. I mean, it's I don't 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.680 want to be a veteran right now. Well here, Here's 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.080 what I'd say is, but those are known commodities. These 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.439 guys coming out in the draft are not. You know, 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.880 everybody can say, oh, you're the jetsitude they should take 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:36.079 Zach Wilson out there at BYU or Justin Fields or 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.880 you name the quarterback. I mean, I just don't see 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.839 that happening. Again. The guys that are out there are 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.000 known commodities, and you're gonna be potentially drafting a player 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.920 that you even that opted out last year. You know, 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.800 there are some guys like I just interviewed Rousseau the 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.600 University of Miami pass rusher. That guy's only played one season, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.120 one season of games that you're going and people get 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.920 met at the Bears, mister Bisky only at thirteen starts. 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.720 This guy's got less than Mitch Wow, and you're gonna 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:09.040 draft him. Tommy Vant I want to hear both of 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.760 you guys in this. You know, I know how you are. Tom. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.880 It's all about ball. So and granted there are a 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.160 lot of guys you know you're going through your list 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.480 and these are top guys that chose to avoid injury 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.600 or for personal reasons to not play at their colleges 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.960 in the pandemic circumstance. Are you gonna look at those 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:32.400 guys differently despite their great talent? No, I know I would, 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.120 You know, I kind of frown upon guys like the 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.079 San Francisco guy that sits out because he was injured 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:44.240 in college and then he doesn't have a lengthy track 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.880 record of being durable Nick Bosa. So he doesn't have 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.920 that track record of staying healthy through multiple seasons in 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.679 college where he had to stop playing a senior year, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.679 then he got injured as a rookie, then he got 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.360 injured as a second year guy. Some of the guys 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.760 that sat out just because of the uncertainty of the 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:07.120 COVID are are they coming in to be a starter? 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.760 And I think there's more pressure on them coming in 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.040 to be a starter because of some of the free 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.600 agents that are not being signed. Jim, put your scouting 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.120 cap on. How do you feel? How are you going 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.760 to evaluate those guys? Yeah? I think one teams are 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.920 evaluating differently and this year is going to be even 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.080 more challenging. Again, That's why I think you'll see more 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.679 guys drafted from the recess Senior Bowl because at least 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.320 you got to see them play in an all star 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.600 game where you could watch a wee week of practices 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.640 of the top talent going against each other. I'm not 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.560 saying these guys are going to be rusty. I mean 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.400 certain guys are going to be rusty. But I think 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.640 it showed down in Mobile that guys could quickly get 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.320 back and involved because there were opt out guys that 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.920 I thought, you know, really showed and really flashed and 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.280 got their sea legs under them pretty quickly, and that 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.000 they will be able to rebound and they will be 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.360 able to contribute. But again, there's just so much less 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.240 tape that you can watch on these guys as as 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.320 we've just mentioned. So if we already thought that raft 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.040 was a fifty fifty crapshoot case in point Isaiah Wilson, 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.960 we all see what happens with him with Tennessee right now, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.760 the guy hasn't even been with the team ten months. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.960 He's a first round draft pick, and he's already on 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.640 the block to be traded. Granted, he had some off 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.920 the field. He actually had more incidents off the field 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.920 than snaps that he played for the Tennessee Titans. So 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.480 you better do your due diligence because the information is 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.040 not going to be easy to come by because all 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:30.000 these numbers, heights, weights, forty times ten yards, splits watching 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.640 him work out, you may not even have be able 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.560 to have a personal workout with a player. Are we 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.360 able to even take all thirty guys? Every team's able 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.760 to invite thirty guys to the facility? Is that even 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.000 possible here? Even Roger Goodell said, ah, we're going to 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.079 keep some of this virtual stuff in place, and potentially 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.959 the draft. Again, nothing's been decided yet, but I think 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.600 all those things are in play. So information is going 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.520 to be tough to come by. Is might take of 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.920 how it's going to unfold? You know, I wish the 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.160 young guy from the Tennessee Titans would have taken the 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.719 challenge by the GM as kind of a motivator and say, 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.880 all right, I'm gonna prove you wrong. I'm gonna show 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.840 you exactly that you pick the right guy. I'm gonna 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.120 be more disciplined during the football season, and I'm going 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.280 to be a productive football player during the season. And 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:20.200 so I think nowadays you get a GM that challenges 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.640 a young man because they see his upside, and then 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.840 they now they want to be traded. What incentive is 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.320 another team have to go out and get this guy 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.480 if he always has already proved maybe to the GM 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.960 that his work ethic and his work habits need to improve. Yeah, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.720 and how about that? The minute the GM challenged him, 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.040 he writes on Twitter that he no longer wants to 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.480 be a Tennessee Titans. So he basically quit, basically quit 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.160 on his team. How many? How many other teams want that? Well, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.640 you know, I was talking with Jason McKee today briefly, 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.800 and it's just a different even he's not that far 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.240 removed from the National Football League as a player when 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.640 you think about it, and just how how quickly it 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.840 has changed. And these guys have voices on Twitter and 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.480 Instagram or whatever, and whether they're they're not able to 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:17.280 stop from hitting send or it's truly how they're being positioned, 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.520 how they feel or their agents are given the green 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:23.760 light to do it. It's it's it's allowed cacophony of 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.920 of of a lot of noise right now, and uh, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.760 it's everybody feels they can, you know, just say whatever 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.600 and there's no repercussion. But for a guy like that, 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:37.240 a first round pick, there's serious repercussion. And somebody, the 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.520 young guy from Tennessee who they believe had enough ability 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.200 to be evaluated to be a first rounder in the NFL. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.560 There's some elder statesman offensive lineman there that should bring 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.720 this guy in their inner circle and say, hey, look, 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.880 this is what we need out of you, because we 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.560 need you to be the player in which the Tennessee 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.760 Titans drafted you for. And if you come and play 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.240 up to your athletics, him your dedication, you know you 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.400 can help us be a major player in the league. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.560 You guys like timped there and Jim Miller to help too. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.160 To him a little bit. We're gonna take a break 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.200 here on Bears All Access. Coming up at the bottom 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.000 of the hour. Bill Shoey, the Bear's new outside linebackers coach, 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.800 getting the promotion to that position here for twenty twenty one, 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.520 will join us with Jim and Tom. I'm Jeff Joniac. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.800 This is Bears All Access, brought to you by IGS 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:29.080 Energy on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy The Score, The 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.600 Chicago Bears Network presents Inside the Bears, brought to you 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.760 by Verizon.

Jim Miller, you know that's 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.680 all good. But you know, Bulls are playing well, game 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.800 under five hundred. Let's go. Oh, have plenty to talk 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.520 about in Chicago, right, you know, got offseason here basketball. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.440 I mean, what's not to be fired up about. Jeff, 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.480 You're in You're in your You're in your true medium 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.080 right now, aren't you. Yes? Yes, So, Tim and I 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.200 talked about in the first segment about the Wilson stuff 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.840 today and the Deshaun You have anything to add? What 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.520 do you How are you guys handicapping this whole situation? Well, 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.760 it's you know, it's I think, like you said, there's 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:28.359 so much out there, like via social media and things 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.919 that are being stated, whether it's by the player or 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.000 by the player's agent. You know, to me, well, it's 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.240 it's a good annalogy. It almost feels like the NBA, 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.760 like players just want to talk themselves out of places, 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.399 you know, whether it's Jamal Adams last year talking his 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.080 way out of New York. And here you have to 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.840 Deshaun Watson situation down there in Houston that came to 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.800 a head. They had a meeting Friday. He told the 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.200 new head coach to his face that he doesn't want 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.879 to play for Houston anymore. Russell Wilson. You know, I'm 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.800 kind of and I love Russell Wilson. He's always, to me, 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.200 been a classy guy. But what is Seattle not done 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.560 for Russell Wilson. He got one hundred and forty million 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.760 dollar contract, They've drafted fifteen offensive linement, They've been to 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.520 two Super Bowls. They have just recently fired their offensive 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.800 coordinator and hired a new one that they gave him, 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.640 say in hiring Shane Waldron. And now he supposedly wants 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.119 out of Seattle. I mean, I just don't get it. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.600 But it seems like it's more like the NBA that 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.480 the players just want to drive where they want to play, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.959 and I'd be careful because the grass is not always greener. 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.160 It really isn't. Yeah. I mean, that's that's the thing 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.480 about Russell is the supporting cast they put around him, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.440 the type of head coach Pete Carroll, is the atmosphere 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.200 he's created up there, the defensive personnel that they've been 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.520 able to add keep in place and have as a 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.320 supporting cast for him. You know, he's brought a lot 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.879 of life to that city throughout his career, and you know, 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.639 if there was a team out there that was suffering 0:18:55.720 --> 0:19:00.479 for a franchise quarterback but picked up his contract and 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.280 then did not have the supporting cast to allow him 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.160 to be you know, sacked less or you know, turn 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.600 the offensive around like they've been able to do in 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.800 Seattle and Seattle too. When you blow there and play 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.520 in Seattle, it's almost a guaranteed win because of the 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.520 viciousness of the crowd. I thought it was interesting. I 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.520 don't know if you guys read that article in The Athletic. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.240 I did, and one of the quotes was that, you know, 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.840 Russell was basically stating to the coaches like Hey man, 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.119 I'm chasing the greats. When did this become about numbers? 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.160 Isn't it about winning? That's what it's about. It's about 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.880 winning games. All those numbers are going to fall into 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.520 place if you're winning games and things like that. So 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.640 I just I don't know. I think it you come off, 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.520 you know, and just have a bad taste in your 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:51.119 mouth about you know what that conversation, those conversations were about, 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.240 and you just view him a little bit different. I 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.280 just my personal opinion, I thought it was somewhat selfish. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.200 That article that came out today and some of the 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.760 quotes that were in there all right interest as well 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:05.480 today from Tom Pealicero from NFL Network, a virtual meeting 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.640 with nflpa's executive director to Morris Smith and the agents, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.520 imploring them if they have a free agent at one 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.800 position the same position, collude literally collude and try to 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.440 increase the leveraging contract talks because of the drop in 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.840 the salary cap this year at least one eighty. It's 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:26.479 gonna go up maybe another eight. Last year was one 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.040 night too all dropping because of the pandemic. What is 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:35.760 your initial reactions to both of that? To meet first, Yeah, 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.680
