00:00Now, I'm not foolish. I don't think that this is a Super Bowl contender.

00:04All I want to know is, can you work through your problems?

00:09Can can the people that you hired?

00:11You should not give away more than half of a season

00:16because that's what they'd be doing.

00:18That's what we would be allowing them to do.

00:20If the level of expectation isn't, oh, no, no, no.

00:24You did all of this destruction to the roster, all of this roster

00:28churn and roster turnover because of the promise of brighter days.

00:33And now that you're running into a little adversity,

00:37I'm not going to allow you to just go back into a shell and say,

00:41oh, well, we really were competing.

00:43It was, you know, it's a rookie quarterback and you got to

00:46you got to respect the process.

00:48No, what you told Bears fans is that this rookie quarterback

00:52was different than every other rookie quarterback

00:56and that you were comfortable

00:57with him taking over on a team that had aspirations.

01:02You don't get to fall back now.

01:04You don't get to fall back after you signed a lot of money to two guys

01:08that deserve it and earned it.

01:10Bringing in veteran players.

01:12The Keenan Allen thing to me is super important.

01:15You signed him for one year.

01:16Yeah, you traded.

01:17You gave up a draft pick to get him for one year.

01:20And that's a go for it trade.

01:21And you drafted a wide receiver.

01:24Yeah. Ideally thinking that the wide receiver was going to be able

01:27to get up to speed faster than a developmental lineman. Yeah.

01:33So so I don't I don't want to give them the out

01:36that that's that's where I'm at.

01:39I want to continue to like the level of intensity

01:42of watching these games and getting on them.

01:45If they if they falter against Green Bay and Detroit and Minnesota,

01:50I think that that should stay.

01:51And I know that there are some people

01:53who are already heading towards the apathy door.

01:55Don't stay in angry town.
