00:00It's Anthony Richardson for the Colts. It's Caleb Williams on

00:06the other side for the Bears. Neither guy has been all that

00:10sensational this year. Of course, a lot of focus on the

00:13number one overall pick in Caleb Williams. Just a point and

00:16a half in favor of Indy. Forty-three and a half is the

00:20total. What do you think happens on Sunday in

00:22Indianapolis? Well, what I think is II think the Bears win

00:27this game rather easily. Uh and you're going to see the

00:31growing pains uh of what's going on with Richardson who

00:36by the way is without a doubt one of the uh worst passers in

00:40the NFL right now. Not because he lacks the talent or the arm

00:44strength but simply because he has no idea where the ball is

00:48going and I'll take you back to his you know what it feels like

00:51his one year at the University of Florida where again we all

00:55went wow this kid has got unbelief what talent aren't

00:59you got? Yeah great except he has no idea where he's throwing

01:01the ball and that is not going to work against this Bears

01:05defense. Uh also the Bears Caleb Williams he's had his own

01:09issues but look at the defenses Caleb Williams has had to face

01:13uh versus who he's going to be facing now which of course uh

01:17no DeForest uh Buckner. We know that they don't get after the

01:21quarterback. They're not going to get in Caleb Williams face

01:24like Houston did. I think this is going to be the biggest

01:27running game for the Bears. I think that uh once again Anthony

01:31Richardson is going to make two you know two or three bad

01:35throws. The turnovers are going to do them in here and I do

01:38think this is where Caleb Williams and this offense of

01:41the Bears excels. So here's the issue for Caleb Williams at

01:45least so far. His offensive line looks absolutely awful. The

01:49worst security you would ever see trying to keep him upright

01:53sacked seven times on Sunday night football in Houston

01:57leading to him having a break out of the pocket and run a ton

02:00or he hasn't looked very comfortable. He had five

02:02carries for 44 yards but hasn't really been the groomed and

02:06polished quarterback. We expected the Heisman winner to

02:09be at least early in Chicago where he is often said he's not

02:13nervous. He's comfortable. He's ready to go. Not really the

02:17case but outside of that Joe five carries 44 yards for Caleb

02:20Williams. He was Chicago's leading rusher against the

02:23Texans. They had 17 total attempts as a team for 27 yards

02:28and DeAndre Swift who has paid this offseason just 14 attempts

02:33for 18 yards. However, if Chicago was going to figure it

02:38out offensively and on the ground, Indy might be a great

02:42team to do it against 261 yards allowed last week against the

02:47Green Bay Packers. Alright, they were going to run it a ton

02:50with Malik Willis and they ran it 53 times but Joe Mixon had

02:5330 carries for a buck 59 in week one. It could be an

02:58opportunity for the Bears just to say we're going to run it

03:00down your throats and then quickly Joe just to your point

03:04about completion percentages for both of these quarterbacks.

03:09This is really Anthony Richardson's de facto rookie

03:11season as we have said often and his main criticism out of

03:15Florida was not his arm talent or athleticism but in his only

03:19season as a starter for the Gators 53.8 was the completion

03:24percentage. He is less than 50% so far this year 49.1 of

03:30qualified starting quarterbacks. That is the worst Kayla

03:33Williams though not much better 56.1%.
