And the Bears, 132 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 4: you know, they tried a lot of stuff. They went 133 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 4: up for fourth downs early on, nothing was really clicking. 134 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: They struggled, and then the second half Caleb Williams comes 135 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: through with big throw after big throw. He was amazing. 136 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 4: And Kelvin, you know, I've been a believer the whole 137 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: way through. 138 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe I have leave. 139 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: And I'm even more of a believer because of his. 140 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: Wherewith all to not give up like struggle struggle, struggle, 141 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 4: like it's easy to be like, we can't just it's 142 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 4: not right, we just can't do this. 143 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: And that fourth and. 144 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 4: Eight play where he's rolling to his left, there's a 145 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: guy grabbing his leg and he throws into four defenders 146 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 4: and hits the receiver on a dime. Might be one 147 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 4: of the greatest throws I've seen. And I'm not trying 148 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: to hyperbole or what I'm just talking about for the 149 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: moment the season, that goal that falls in complete seasons 150 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 4: over that, that is what the throw was. And I 151 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 4: don't know, and I know you've had questions about him 152 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 4: other people have. 153 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: We had that scout. 154 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 4: Remember last year. He's a bus remember that. But we 155 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 4: had him on Daniel Kelly. 156 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: We both argue with that because I was a glass 157 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: hat full when his first season, because you know, I 158 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: kept saying, Eberfless not a good coach when people were 159 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: coming out his rookie season, just like I'm like, dude, 160 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: he had a terrible coach. Ain't what we talked about? 161 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: I lost them three or four games that that rookie season. 162 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: YEA was terrible. Yeah. But here's the other thing too. 163 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 4: And there were people, let's not forget the Justin Fields 164 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 4: camp who hung signs up there, who did not want Caleb, 165 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 4: who was like, we're making a mistake. Go draft somebody else. 166 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 4: Keep Justin Fields whatever, where are those people today? They 167 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 4: cannot honestly see what they've seen from this guy and 168 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: this team that refuses I don't care what the score is. 169 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 4: How do you not go into a game confident that 170 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: you can win any game? 171 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: You don't want to have to pull every game out. 172 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, it's that stuff that I'm really 173 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: impressed by. 174 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: But I'm gonna say it. I'm a believer. 175 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 4: I told you this earlier in the year. I was 176 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 4: all wait, all the way in on Caleb. I just 177 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 4: there was something about him, and that game just really 178 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: solidified what I'm looking at. 179 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: And the scary part. 180 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 4: Is is that this is his first year with Ben Johnson. 181 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: You think he's done learning or growing. That's the scary 182 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: I know you do, but you you get what I'm saying. 183 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: This is year one. 184 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 4: He's gonna clean up a lot of stuff. There will 185 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 4: be they will get better together coming off a year 186 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 4: like this. 187 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. 188 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 4: They can lose on Sunday or whatever, right and if 189 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 4: they win, oh my god. But you know what I'm saying, like, 190 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 4: you have something to build on one year together, That's 191 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 4: all I'm doing. 192 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: So so I'm gonna work backwards. Here. 193 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: The reason why I said, I hope you're wrong, but 194 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: you're obviously right in that bench just is because not 195 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: only are you right about Caleb, this has Ben Johnson's 196 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: first year with him, meaning, oh, let me really see 197 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: what he is, what he's got, what his talents are, 198 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: his strengths, his weaknesses, and they're they're going to get 199 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: better and better because the things that Ben Johnson just having, 200 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, he was with the lines for so long, 201 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: things that you know he loves consistency and accuracy, and 202 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: you know Jared Goff is literally leading the league in 203 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: completion percentage and all that. The scary part is and 204 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: this is where you and I when we were having 205 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: our conversations throughout the season, all I was saying was 206 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: the scary thing about them was that room to improve 207 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: with Caleb, because he'd be off schedule, he'd have the 208 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: off target throws, he'd have the incompletions, and he had 209 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: it again in the first half. 210 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: They look bad and you're like, dang, what's going on? 211 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: They got weapons everywhere, They had the number two rushing attack, 212 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: Like what is going on? They think a couple of 213 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: things are going on. Their defense isn't great in and 214 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: of itself, but that's a big part too. But they 215 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: get great they get turnovers. So if you just look 216 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: at the numbers, they're not great, just just defensively as 217 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: far as stopping the run and stopping the pack. But 218 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: they were number one, number two and turnovers, so they 219 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: almost got a few. They got some balls that they 220 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: got some strips, but. 221 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 3: It didn't by their way. 222 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: So I think the defense became great in the second 223 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: half of Hey, we're gonna get you the ball back. 224 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: You guys start making that Caleb magic happen. And he 225 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: was able to do that. That throw you talk about 226 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: running full speed left, being chased a guy on ankle, 227 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: guy on your ankle, throwing across your body in the 228 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: three or four packers and laying it right there on 229 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: the numbers. That's an all time playoff throw period. I 230 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: don't care who the person that not, all that was 231 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: at all times throw for Caleb. 232 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: Now, that was an all time throw period. You would 233 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: would amazing throw. 234 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: And I do think that is what is made again 235 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: him at him frustrating at times because I can imagine 236 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: if you're a OCD like buttoned up to the T 237 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: guy like a Ben Johnson. You're like, that's what I 238 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: that you're that guy. You are this guy, and I 239 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: think that's for times where he would be like, man, 240 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: if I get eighty percent of that guy regularly, were 241 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: in a good place. So, but they're scary rob for 242 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: the reven. Like you said, the Rams are tough team. 243 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: So if they losing the Rams, there's not no shaming. 244 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,479 Speaker 1: They beat them, thead a schedule and the Lions, the Vikings. 245 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: The Packers better beware and hope this was a fluke 246 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: and that they wanted so many close games and that 247 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: they regress kind of how the Chiefs did, because if 248 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: they don't, it's gonna be a lot to deal with 249 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: that offense for the next you know, six seven, eight years, it's. 250 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 3: Gonna be a lot, all right. As you know, I've 251 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 3: always been a believer. 252 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: Uh, you're gonna just join in.

The teams who 496 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: are beloved, they're blue bloods and they kind of have 497 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: sucked for a while. The Bears being good was good 498 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: for football. Just seeing that crowd, the energy. It's like 499 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: when the Knicks are good in the NBA. You're like, man, 500 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: this is this feels right. Even if you hate the 501 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: team or you love them or you hat you know, 502 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: just if you're your arrival. It's just good to have 503 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: certain teams doing well. So I gott give it to Io. 504 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: Was watching that game, like, just seeing Chicago, that city 505 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: be excited was kind. 506 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 3: Of cool to see. Yeah, you know what I mean, 507 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 3: No doubt that's the scary combination. 508 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: Though Ben Johnson gets the best out of Kayleb Williams said, 509 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: I hope he keeps having that little struggle there. 510 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 4: No doubt, And we're going to we got a couple 511 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 4: of minutes and we're going to get to that Jaguars reporter. 512 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 4: But I do want to say something that's really as 513 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 4: a journalist, I'm dead serious. And I've read a lot 514 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 4: of stuff online and seeing people make these comments or whatever, 515 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 4: including Pat McAfee, who of course is a former athlete 516 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 4: and kind of chastising journalists and that we hate sports 517 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 4: because we didn't buy into what Lynn Jones did in 518 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 4: that press conference and whatnot. 519 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 3: And I just it really irks me because I think. 520 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: Guys don't really really understand what journalism is. And Pat 521 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: McAfee and guys like him, and I've seen other people, 522 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 4: you know, put it out there is they want raw Rod. 523 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 4: They think everybody should be fans, and that's not our job. 524 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 3: That's not our job to be fans. That's not what 525 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 3: we do. 526 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 4: If he had an ounce of journalism or went to 527 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 4: a journalist school as a journalism professor at USC, as 528 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 4: a guy who's been in the business for forty years, 529 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 4: supposed to be a part of the story, you're supposed 530 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 4: to challenge and ask questions, I would say to him, 531 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 4: what was the question that she asked? Because she didn't 532 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 4: ask a question, and we'll get Yeah, we'll get more 533 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 4: into that, but I'm just saying this is a public 534 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 4: service announcement for people who watch Pat McAfee and guys 535 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 4: like this and the former athletes and those people. They're 536 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 4: entertainers and they got entertainment. They don't have real information. 537 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 4: When you pay your guests like Aaron Rodgers and Nick 538 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 4: Saban and all your friends are on the set and 539 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: all that, that's entertainment. That's not journalism, which is fine 540 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 4: if that's what you want, but don't let these guys 541 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 4: try to fool you and think that they're offering some honest, 542 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 4: real opinion. 543 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 3: They're not. 544 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be balanced. They're supposed to be you know, 545 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: we all watch our shows. We watch entertaining shows, and 546 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: it's fun. But there's a time and place for that, 547 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: and it's a time and place where journalism. So I 548 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: do think the problem robed and this is why I 549 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: think there's a great balance on this show with you 550 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: and I because sometimes you'll say, well, what is going on? 551 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: I say, look, man, you go understand that the social media work. 552 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: And sometimes I'm like you, like, no, but journalism, we 553 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: need a lot of people don't understand journalism because of 554 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: Now anybody's a journalists who holds a phone. 555 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: But saying they think they are. And that's what I'm saying, Like, 556 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 4: if you're watching shows like that. 557 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: Yo, I watched the gas at the game and this 558 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: is what happened. Now, they're journalists, whether it be reporting 559 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: in the streets, whether be reporting on sport or not reporters. 560 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: And so that's the challenge we live in. And you 561 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: and I know this, But the average person picks up 562 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: their phone and they're swiping and that's true that that 563 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: guy shot that guy and you're like wait, and you 564 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: come to find out it's not true. 565 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, be careful. There's nothing wrong with entertainment. 566 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 4: I just want you to know that you're not gonna 567 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 4: get real questions and honors, answers and push back when 568 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 4: you're paying the people you interview. It's not gonna happen. 569 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 4: That's that's all. That's it's not gonna that's not journalism. 570 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 4: And the idea that reporters hate sports because we're being 571 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 4: honest about what happened or talking about it the same 572 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 4: way people get credit for when they win and get 573 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 4: the hype when you lose. His questions that need to 574 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 4: be answered, that's all. 575 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: And it's supposed to be impartiality, and you're not supposed 576 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: to be. It's supposed to be partial, unbiased. That's what news, 577 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: that's what sports.

And this is 631 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 7: the book on CJ. Stroud mentally talented. His rookie season 632 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 7: was one of the best in the nfls. 633 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 3: That was the one yep. And then him and Bobby Sloweck, 634 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 3: who's the OC. 635 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 7: I'm told they did not connect very well by a 636 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 7: source closer situation and Demiko Ryan's got win a fit 637 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 7: and kind of was taken aback, I think and felt 638 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 7: that they could not continue to work with him, Bobby slogan, 639 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 7: and they fired him.

I was a long time assist 641 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 7: in the NFL and. 642 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 3: Very young guy. 643 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 7: Used actually work for Pro football focus was never even 644 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 7: position coach with the Niners, and Demico hired him look 645 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 7: great the first year, didn't with with Straw the second year. 646 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 7: And now you know they've moved on and you know 647 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 7: they've gone in a different direction, and they brought a 648 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 7: guy in, Nick Kelly. I don't think he was called 649 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 7: places before who's known because he came from the Shanahan 650 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 7: excuse me, the Sean mcvagree. And he's more of a 651 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 7: run game guy than the past game and that's kind 652 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 7: of showed. But they've gotten better, guys, Rob, on your 653 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 7: on your your. 654 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 3: Question, YEP, they've gotten better passing vehicle. 655 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 7: Collins is an absolute stud. But it's the defense that 656 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 7: still carries them. And let's not forget they're missing Joe 657 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 7: Mix and Joe Mixon never played with him played for 658 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 7: them this season.

I think it's a very tight game, 661 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 7: should be very low scoring. By the way, the most 662 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 7: games this past week and were very high school. 663 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 3: You got on this game. I think I like, yeah, sports. 664 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 7: Grid, Yeah, I didn't give that today, but if they 665 00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 7: had asked me about the game, and I would have 666 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 7: said play the under. It's really and by the way, 667 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 7: one reason why you saw the Bears game go way 668 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 7: over when it had an undertotal one thing, And Rob, 669 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 7: I know I saw you on social media talk about 670 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 7: Caleb Williams. 671 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 3: We can get into that. We will, definitely. 672 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 7: I got a lot of thoughts that I know where 673 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 7: you're going with that, and I got some stuff that 674 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 7: nobody knows. But I got to tell you, when you 675 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 7: look at these playoffs, there's just there's an urgency and 676 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 7: the Bears were getting absolutely smoked. 677 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 3: And then you saw what happen. 678 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 7: Williams went off and they had a throw throw throw 679 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 7: and a bad secondary like the Packers at corner. They're 680 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 7: not good at corner. They I thought, I really thought, 681 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 7: and it didn't look good in the first three quarters. 682 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 7: I thought they'd have way more success the success I 683 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 7: thought that you could have against the Packers. The Bears 684 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 7: did in Ben Johnson and that that was really interesting 685 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 7: to see. That was and what, by the way, what 686 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 7: a great weekend. I know the game last night was 687 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 7: a dub, but the other four were Please give us 688 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 7: some Caleb stuff, all right, all right, give. 689 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 3: Us some don't explain. Let me explain Caayleb Williams. 690 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 7: Okay, So one of the reasons why Ben Johnson took 691 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 7: this job is he knew about Kayleb Williams. Last season, 692 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 7: he didn't he didn't play well. I mean, lots of 693 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 7: Menowis took way to really awful sacrate. But the kid 694 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 7: is incredibly gifted and he wants to be coached. He 695 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 7: needed what's called hard coaching. Okay, this is what I 696 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 7: was told about what happened with Matty Raflus and his 697 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 7: coach with staff incredibly soft let him get away with 698 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 7: a lot of stuff. So Ben Johnson, and this is 699 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 7: what someone who with the Lions told me. This is 700 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 7: kind of funny. Only this person would know because he 701 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 7: worked with him. He was there when Ben was there. 702 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 7: Said it's real simple. Within four to six months, it's 703 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 7: either going to be a dismal failure with Ben Johnson 704 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 7: or a home run. I go, why do you say that? 705 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 7: Because Ben is a type A. He doesn't care what 706 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 7: anybody thinks. He is going to beat those players up. 707 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 7: In his coaches, He's going to get on him, He's 708 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 7: going to be a jerk. Sometimes they're not gonna like 709 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 7: him some days. But there's going to be a major accountability 710 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 7: which is not in the Bears building. It was basically 711 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 7: a country club last season, and that's not going to 712 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 7: happen anymore. So that's what's happened here, Rob. That's I mean, 713 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 7: Ben Johnson could be incredibly difficult. I don't know that 714 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 7: and one of the reasons why I think Dan Campbell 715 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 7: and that the Bears beat them in Week eighteen. I 716 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 7: don't know if they're best friends or not. Right, Oh, 717 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 7: you got to give Dan great credit for finding him. 718 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 7: I mean, he was just a low level assistant and 719 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 7: it's pretty remarkable. But you know from being that market 720 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 7: in Detroit, Rob, that's actually where I met you at 721 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 7: the Combine. 722 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 3: Now when you were twenty years Yeah, I would. 723 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 7: See at the Combine back in the early to mid 724 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 7: two thousands. You know how miserable that they were there. 725 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 7: And then Dan Campbell comes in finds his kid, Ben Johnson, 726 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 7: and it's really Ben Johnson has done one of the 727 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 7: all time jobs. 728 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 3: But what I would tell you. 729 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 7: Is, and I'm going to say this about a lot 730 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 7: of coaches as we get to know each other, guys, 731 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 7: let's see how he hands success. 732 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 3: Obviously, it's been unbelievable. 733 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 7: Let's see because he's super cocky, which is fine, it works, 734 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 7: but let's see how he handles it in twenty six 735 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 7: at twenty seven, twenty five was historic. 736 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be interesting to see too when it when 737 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: it's not going well, you know what I mean. 738 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 7: That's that's exactly that, Kelvin. That's how you would That 739 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 7: is one hundred percent easy to value it. 740 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 3: It's easy to be good. Yeah, when things are good. 741 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: We know these close games went the opposite way. You know, 742 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: how do you bou back Adam Kevin fox Wiler just 743 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: because I saw it this year as a Lion's right. Well, 744 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, NFL Insider. Let me let me go here, 745 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: me and Rob talk about this guy because you know, 746 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: this is the odd couple and we differ on this. 747 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: We agree, we agree on the main point, but we 748 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: differ on how to handle it. That is Kyle Shanahan. 749 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,760 Speaker 1: He's like fire Shanahan. I'm saying, keep me why. 750 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, eventually, eventually he needs to win something. Okay, his fourth. 751 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 3: Quarters, you could say that. You could say about everybody. 752 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 7: You're the same guy who thought, Okay, I know to 753 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 7: see Rob, I remember this discussion we had a year 754 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 7: or two ago here on FSR. You thought that Eli. 755 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 7: Who did you think Eli was a better quarterback? That 756 00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 7: is it someone who's in the Hall of Fame. I 757 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 7: could pretty m everybody no. 758 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 3: Exactly when we play No, no, No. 759 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 4: My point is that at some point you do have 760 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 4: to win, like like, and I'm gonna give you the 761 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 4: Adam and I bring this up all the time. 762 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 3: Who do I bring up all the time? 763 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 4: Nobody says Marv Levy is one of the all time 764 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 4: great coaches. 765 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 3: Why not, Adam? 766 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 10: Why not? 767 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 3: Because he didn't? 768 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 4: Okay, So that's all I'm saying is, at some point 769 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 4: Marv Levy went the four Super Bowl and nobody thinks 770 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 4: he Nobody thinks he's an all time greed. 771 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 7: He was a really good coach. I know, Marty Schottenheimer, 772 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 7: the late Marty Shotenhammer very good. He couldn't win, right, 773 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 7: but look, it's you know, he's it's unfortunate. 774 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 4: And all I'm saying is I've seen like even when 775 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 4: they did it in Tampa with Tony Dungee. 776 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 3: Remember Tony Dungee was on the verge. 777 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 4: He couldn't get it done and he did wind up 778 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 4: winning in Indianapolis, but they moved on from him, and 779 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 4: let's just go here with the coaches. 780 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 3: And you know, I quite that's okay, all right, yeah, yeah, 781 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 3: we don't have to agree. 782 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 4: Uh, John Harball, I was calling for him to be 783 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 4: fired open after week one, after they blew that game 784 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 4: in Buffalo. 785 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 3: I'm not after we was. 786 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 4: He was, he really was, and and and now everybody 787 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 4: in their uncle's saying how great he is. 788 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 7: He's the greatest coach in the league, and all that's 789 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 7: very He's won a super boy, he's a coach. 790 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 4: But there's a lot of bad stuff going on with 791 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 4: that team and with does talent as well. 792 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 7: Come on, okay, all right, So I know there's a 793 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 7: lot of junk out there on Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson, 794 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 7: and some it's actually true.

What does that mean. 798 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 7: He gets a lot of dirt, okay, and he's willing 799 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 7: to by the way, but he's right. Usually he's willing 800 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 7: to tell the truth. I know some of the stuff 801 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 7: that Mike knows. Lamar was not committed this season to 802 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 7: do it, to doing the right thing all the time 803 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 7: in terms of doing his job the right way, committed 804 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 7: to being great. 805 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 3: He was not. 806 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 7: That's an absolute fact, that's undeniable anyone who knows who. 807 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 7: It's kind of one of those things if you know, 808 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 7: you know, I know, because I'd looked into it. When 809 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 7: the stuff came out from Presidon's article, I was shocked. 810 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 7: Some of it was really damning. I was like, really, 811 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 7: I'm like, I know it's Mike Preston, so it's probably true. 812 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 3: He gets He's got great connections. 813 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 7: I know for a fact to the front office, and 814 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 7: I found out, you know. 815 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 3: Most of thirty five percent of stuff that Mike had 816 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 3: in there. 817 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 7: I know, and I know for a fact that you know, 818 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 7: when they talked about Lamar and why isn't he practicing? 819 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 7: It was you know, I know they said illness. And 820 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 7: I'm not saying he wasn't feeling great, but sometimes he 821 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 7: may not have. He may have overslapped, or he may 822 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 7: have been tired that day because he was up night before. 823 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying he was doing anything wrong. 824 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 7: I'm just saying from a total commitment, guys, he was 825 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 7: not committed. I'm just it's it's anyone who knows truly 826 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 7: has done their homework. Any reporter you could find this out. 827 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 7: It wasn't very hard for me. 828 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 3: And this is the last thing we got it. We 829 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 3: gotta wrap this up. But that's that's one of the reasons. 830 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 4: But also that's what there's a lot of other things 831 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 4: on that team. 832 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: Really never felt about them closing out a game exactly. 833 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 3: It was bad. Look, he hired Zach Orr. 834 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 7: You might remember his career is cut short linebacker for them. 835 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 3: Uh, he's in his early thirties. 836 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 7: He was a linebacker for them, and he made him 837 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 7: their defensive to take up from Mike McDonald. And it's 838 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 7: stop being easy for for for Zack, it's been up 839 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 7: and down, got off the terrible start turning around. And 840 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 7: he's a guy that everyone likes in their buildings, so 841 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 7: they wanted to give him a chance. But now you 842 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 7: know it's it's going to be changed. I don't think 843 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 7: that they I don't think they could really get Lamar. 844 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 7: Just one thing. I don't think for haarbes as great. 845 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 7: If a coaches's he's really good. He's pretty pretty darn 846 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 7: good coach like his brother. Yeah, but they could not 847 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 7: get him. They could not get Lamar to do what 848 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 7: he was supposed to do this season. I don't know 849 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 7: what else to tell you.
