Bears are filling in the blanks. Last year felt like such a good, was I
00:06
supposed to, was Dustin supposed to go? I'm sorry, I'm sorry guys. Dare I say that
00:14
Joe Tooney is a healthy 32 having missed only two games. So we would look at the
00:19
the age factor, like I don't look zero in on that as closely as other people with
00:26
this specific player, studying his background, studying what he's all about.
00:32
And as I said earlier, this does portend urgency because the Bears have to be way
00:40
better. You can't have two 10-game losing streaks in the last three years and not
00:47
be urgent this year. And there are a few guys, key guys, that are ripe for urgency
00:53
this year. Ryan Poles, probably fighting for his job, maybe not after this year,
00:58
but he's got to continue to put together a better resume. It is urgent for Caleb
01:04
Williams because he didn't show enough last year. And guess what? Ben Johnson is
01:09
not going to get the usual rookie head coach reprieve in my mind. Ben Johnson
01:15
has to perform right out of the gates. This is a highly paid head coach,
01:21
the one that you wanted, the one that is supposed to turn around the offense and
01:25
make Caleb Williams good. So there's some healthy urgency going on.
