00:00You know the one part of advice if I was going to talk to Ben today, I would tell him this guys

00:05After I got the Bears job

00:07I went out and played golf with coach Chuck know who had just retired from the Steelers and on every hole

00:14You know, I'm right. I had a question for him a different question

00:18He told me at the end. We're sitting there having a beer afterwards and he says Dave. I'm going to tell you one thing

00:24When you take this job as the head coach, you're gonna see holes and in Luke's in the dam

00:30Oh god, I got this on special teams. I got this with my offensive line. I can't get to the passer on defense

00:37But he says stop right there

00:39Why did you get this job?

00:42And I told I got the job because of my defensive expertise and the history, you know

00:46All the years I've been calling defenses and damper

00:48And he says keep the main thing the main thing you go in there and you focus

00:53Every ounce of energy you've got on doing the best job with that bears defense as you can and and I'm not I'm being humble

00:59But just what we ended up in the top five. I think that we were terrible on offense

01:03But we were top five top ten team in defense

01:06So and he says that's what you got to do and then you move on from there

01:10You can't do everything in one day

01:11So I would tell Ben Johnson the same thing Ben you were hired here for your offensive and quarterback

01:18expertise put

01:19Everything you got into that and you will have time to get if the offense clicks and Caleb's goes on

01:25We'll fix these other things, you know

01:27So don't think you're going to do everything and don't try to do everything

01:31You know right off the bat because it's physically impossible to do so

01:35I I really that would be I was thinking about that last night if I was going to talk to him

01:40What would I tell him and and I think that would be the first thing that would come to mind keep the main thing the

01:45Main thing why you got hired and with their fans and with ownership. What do they expect to see out of you?
