You've seen that. 174 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: Look again, Caleb Williams isn't every other play guy at quarterback, right, 175 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: He'll make a great throw and then he'll sail one 176 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: because his footwork isn't great and you're wondering, this guy's 177 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: never going to complete another pass? What the hell is 178 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: going on? Right? Caleb Williams is in every other play quarterback, 179 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: and today when it hits Mike john back, don't when 180 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: you hear Ben Johnson say, hey, our guys got to 181 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: get on the same page, right, They have to get 182 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: on the same page I'm like, ah, not so much. 183 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: If you saw anything this year, and I can solve 184 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: the Bear's biggest issue, and this is this will be 185 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: a big story in the offseason. You look at the 186 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: weapons the Bears have on offense and I'm I'm I'm 187 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: extremely happy. 188 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 5: Right. 189 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: You got two guys that can run the football really well. 190 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: You have a tight end that that looks like he 191 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: can break out next year. Look at your wide receivers. 192 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: You have a lot of depth. DJ Moore is fine, 193 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: but he's getting older and maybe he's found his way 194 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: out of the locker room by not hustling. Roma Duneesay 195 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: looked like he was going to be a great player 196 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: early on and then all of a sudden, he just disappeared. 197 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: He was banged up, but he's not nearly the number 198 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: one guy they thought he was going to be when 199 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: they drafted him. And I'm telling you this will fix 200 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: so many issues. And Caleb Williams will even take an 201 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: elap next year like he took this year. Is that 202 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: the Bears are a team that has to go out 203 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: and get a true number one receiver, a big that 204 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: can help Caleb Williams, that can help iron out his 205 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: mistakes and help him be a quarterback that can have 206 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: more success throwing the football right because these wide receivers now, 207 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: like DJ Moore isn't going to get up and down 208 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: the field and suddenly, hey, look at me wide open 209 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams is going to hit him. The current 210 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: wide receivers, they're all complimentary ones. He needs a wide 211 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: receiver that can turn his mistakes into positives, that can 212 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: go up and get a jump ball that can get 213 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: to a spot on the field where Williams just has 214 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: to throw it to rather than throwing a guy open. 215 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: In The trend in the NFL now is yeah, everybody 216 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: wants to have the depth and you know, go one 217 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: through three, four guys rely on our quarterback to be 218 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: able to make things happen. But the Bears are a 219 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: team that if you want Caleb Williams to develop the 220 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: way the offense is throwing on the run like he does, 221 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: you need somebody. You need a big receiver that can 222 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: make those plays happen. And not that you have to 223 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: make every play happen, but maybe one out of every 224 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: four throws that's gonna be that's gonna go by the wayside. 225 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: Is something you're able to complete. So this is what 226 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: the Bears you want. You want to really help Caleb Williams. 227 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: You get into the offseason and you go out and 228 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: get a big number one receiver, someone who's available and healthy, 229 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: that makes money that you can say, hey, we're okay 230 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: with accepting this salary or going out and getting in 231 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: free agency, whatever it is. But that's the biggest need. 232 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: If they go and get a big number one receiver, 233 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna help Caleb Williams more than anything. Yeah. 234 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 3: The biggest thing is from from my perspective, as you know, 235 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: guy wearing his Bears colors is the idea of Roman 236 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: Duneesday's got to stay on the field and when the 237 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 3: ball hits him in the hands, you know what catch it. 238 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 3: Lost in a lot of the analysis down the stretcher 239 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: was the fact that Lovelin wasn't on the field. Huge loss. Yeah, 240 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: so other guys have to step up. DJ Moore while 241 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 3: he wasn't present in that route in that sealed things, 242 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: he also wasn't in the locker room post game and 243 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 3: wasn't there when locker clean out happened after the game 244 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 3: when they got their final comments from players as they left, 245 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: So clearly a guy at odds with a lot of 246 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 3: things going on. Luther Burden's only a six foot guy. 247 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 3: You got a dunze six' three could be a BOUNDARY 248 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: x guy right the line them up by. Himself but 249 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: For Caleb williams in this offense to really make it 250 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 3: home is you got to hit on more of those 251 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 3: short and intermediate. 252 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: Routes. 253 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: Right you need to make it to where linebackers have 254 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 3: to commit more frequently up to create that space and 255 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: those one on one matchups because right now he's not 256 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: hitting those. Throws you're not calling those with great regularity 257 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 3: to swift and manne guy to the same. Level and 258 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: we've watched it right to talk about completion percentages and 259 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: overall you take more shots. Downfield that's just old school 260 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 3: football that comeback comes to get you in terms of 261 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: going after another wide. Receiver, Look i'm full oceans eleven. 262 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: Man if you can get one, more go get one. 263 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 3: More and especially if it's a guy that you can 264 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: go and win fifty to fifty, balls because we Know 265 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 3: caleb has the, ability aptitude and. 266 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 4: Want to to try to make those. 267 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: Throws but, yeah it's some of it is just cleaning 268 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 3: up the what's supposed to be easy for the rest 269 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: of the, world the spectacular he handles quite. 270 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: Well, yeah because because think about, It like The, bears 271 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: as good as they were this, year they still didn't 272 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: feel like they played to their potential. Offensively, like, defensively 273 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: they got it pretty, good, Right they're able to go 274 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: out and get turnovers and get everything they. Need, okay that's, 275 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: Fine but, overall, offensively even though they won games And 276 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: Caleb williams is, good it doesn't feel like they were 277 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: able to play to their. Potential so they even have 278 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: more room between where they are in the.

Everything AND i think. 446 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 8: That With geenie and The. 447 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 6: Lakers she just wanted some credit in some way to 448 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 6: be acknowledge and you, know a lot of this Around. 449 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 6: BRONNIE i, mean this really pulls the cover on the 450 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 6: fact that they Drafted bronnie only only Because Lebron james 451 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 6: wanted them to Draft. Bronnie and the fact that they're 452 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 6: now having to wear this egg on their face when 453 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 6: it is painfully clear as anybody would have anybody knew 454 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 6: at the time of the, draft like you don't go 455 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 6: get a kid With bronnie's numbers who's barely played one 456 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 6: year of collegiate, basketball did so on a losing, team. 457 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 8: Coming off the bench for a losing. 458 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 6: Team that guy doesn't get drafted in THE, nba and 459 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 6: sure as hell doesn't get a guaranteed. Contract so the 460 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 6: fact that never any none of that has ever been 461 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 6: acknowledged By, Lebron, like you know, WHAT i really appreciate 462 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 6: that The lakers gave me an opportunity to play with my. 463 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 8: Son that was always a, dream like anything like, that. 464 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 6: AND i think that the feelings With genie and The 465 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 6: lakers would be a little bit. Different but instead where 466 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 6: we are now is no appreciation for the fact that 467 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 6: they drafted his, son only because that's What lebron, wanted 468 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 6: not because it was in any way in the. 469 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 8: Best interest of the. 470 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 6: Team and now they're struggling behind the, scenes and the 471 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 6: story really didn't get into, this but they're struggling and 472 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 6: making this transition from From, LUCA i, mean From lebron To, 473 00:23:53,960 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 6: luca And lebron has has been indifferent at. 474 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 8: Times it certainly hasn't gone out of his way to try. 475 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 6: To make this transition as smooth as it possibly. Could 476 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 6: so WHEN i look at the big, picture, ONE i 477 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 6: totally understand Where genie is kind of done With, lebron 478 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 6: first of, all And lebron can't do a whole lot 479 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 6: for The lakers at this, point so why. Not BUT 480 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 6: i also look at it and think it didn't have 481 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 6: to be this. Way if if there was just a 482 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 6: little more communication between the, buses a little more communication 483 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 6: Between genie And lebron And lebron's, camp THEN i think. 484 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 8: A lot of what we, got the enemity that we 485 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 8: got in his, story wouldn't exist to the level that it. 486 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 3: Does that and we got the gift of the meme 487 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: that will come out of you should Have never been? 488 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 3: BORN i, mean, oh there's so much drum on.

HERE i certainly think that 498 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 8: they're being aggressive and trying to find a deal For. 499 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 6: Cat and the problem that The knicks have is That 500 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 6: Tom thibodeaux and the way he ran things was very, 501 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 6: simple very, direct and everybody had a comfort. Level it 502 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 6: wasn't hard to figure. OUT i, mean the rotation was, 503 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 6: short what he expected from you was. Clear And Mike 504 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 6: brown is trying to introduce a more nuanced system that 505 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 6: utilizes more players and that makes the roles a little more, 506 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 6: fluid and in a big, PICTURE i do think that 507 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 6: that is the more effective way to go. 508 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 8: If you want to play for a. 509 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 6: Championship the bottom line still remains when you look. 510 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 8: Around THE nba and where we have. 511 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 6: The bar set for The, knicks BECAUSE i don't know 512 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 6: If jason, remembers BUT i, REMEMBER i remember that where 513 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 6: The knicks are right now would have been celebrated based 514 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 6: on where they were what, six, seven eight years ago 515 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 6: for a long. Stretch SO i think part of it 516 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 6: is the, bar. 517 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 8: But the other part is it's and this may sound like. 518 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 6: A so, oversimplification but it's. Not you're not winning a 519 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 6: championship With Jalen brunson. 520 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 8: As your best. 521 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 6: Player and that's not a knock On Jalen. Brunson but 522 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 6: the bottom line is WHEN i look at the players 523 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 6: that are leading championship, Contenders Jake, Kills Is alexander Or Jalen, 524 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 6: brunson who are you Taking Kate cunningham Or Jalen, Brunson 525 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 6: who are you Taking Nikola jokic Or Jalen? Brunson who 526 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 6: are you? Taking like it's just the expectations and what 527 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 6: The knicks are working with is that it's just not a. 528 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 8: Fit And Mike brown is trying to. 529 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 6: Elevate this group to a place That tibbs honestly never. 530 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 8: Did AND i would say That tibbs approach was never 531 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 8: going TO i. 532 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 6: Don't know If Mike brown's can BUT i understand that 533 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 6: the possibility of, them, say getting to the finals is 534 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 6: far greater playing the way That Mike brown is asking 535 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 6: them to play Than Tom. Thibodeaux even on a day 536 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 6: in and day out basis during the regular, season it 537 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 6: may feel like it's not to the same. 538 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: Standard, okay, now WHILE i hit my head and woke, 539 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: UP i know you didn't say anything bad About Jalen, 540 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: brunton who now should Be coach of The year with 541 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: beating the nets by sixty after his player's only.
