Son I am your daddy we do have that sound is my daddy you you are my daddy but you’re also my S the amount of wisdom that I provide you on a daily basis is underrated and should be underlined more on this program that was weird hey uh if
You’re Cho Die Hard got a lot for you uh including my Bears things newsletter out this morning on Caleb Williams appreciate some of the feedback I’ve gotten on that and of course our Discord is on fire this week we got the new voice chat ability and uh had a bunch of
Guys hanging out um and was there last night and girls hanging out last night Dr bunny shout out to Dr bunny she’s a straight regular and knows more football than all combined I don’t know 99.9% of football fans let’s go with that um also
Want to give a shout out to our new die hards this week die hards have been on fire uh Bear Down Omaha yes David Scott Robert our guy Gro sign up that’s huge I’ve been waiting for grod I know what what’s taking so long but we appreciate
It Brent Jean Dan Adam and Ray Ray uh all welcome to the CSO Die Hard family we greatly greatly appreciate you um yes it’s Adam Hogan Mark Carman with you today on chg Bears if you’re wondering where Greg Rags Jr is um well you know he apparently is unable to uh
Podcast because of uh this that you see on your screen if you’re watching on YouTube he is missing I’m not even called a tooth it’s not a tooth it’s a crown guy lost a crown playing basketball and apparently is out for the year uh I um never I’d like to hear the
Whistle though if there’s a whistle you know how that happens oh yeah when you have a little like to to job under rest of development that’s I mean you don’t see Michael Strahan taking off shows guys on every show possible listen I don’t want to go at one of our
Great teammates but yes you do I’ve never been more embarrassed by a teammate in my life the dude loses a crown to his tooth he puts in our slack channel that something terrible has happened and he oh that was a problem I was scared I was nervous I thought like
Is is something wrong with we all thought somebody died yeah I was worried about bar it was like we have a we have an emergency something came up don’t know if I could do bears after dark or the show tomorrow so of course I think we all probably text him hey is
Everything okay calls me I was playing basketball got elbowed in the face and I lost a tooth what was your face doing there uh look turns out it wasn’t even a tooth so we’re officially at well two shows that he has now missed he missed after dark last night this show
Today supposedly he’s visiting a dentist right now I I will say the I I understand him missing this show right now he is I would want to get that that fixed if I were him and if the appointment was dis disagree this morning I’m I’m okay with that I have no
Idea why Bears after dark had to be canceled last night and I imagine the conversation of him um telling an NFL football player that he no longer could do the show um because his tooth got knocked out um I’m sure that went over very well and Cory Wooten definitely did
Not laugh at him at all well and I mean I he gets some level of credit for being in the Discord last night and hanging out but he was hanging out in the Discord you couldn’t do a show I don’t know I mean if I’m upper management I’m I’m long considering this
Man his caricature his caricature has been updated yeah yeah this is big we we’ve updated can we make that the permanent one now that is now I don’t care if it gets fixed or it’s already fixed this morning that is now his permanent oh it’s definitely been saved
Avatar on chg I mean nobody does more around here than brags the man literally wears a, hats but I I I would consider you know at least a two week suspension I know a lot of people have to pick up the select for him but this is you know
You can’t make it for two days we’re going to suspend you two weeks to make you think about your life and how you left at the Karm and at Adam hog just to fend for themselves out here in no man’s land in Bears podcast I mean this is a
This is a thing yeah herb uh herb Howard jumping in I could have came running out of the bullpen full row of teeth ready to go you know her I’m not going to lie uh we had a discussion here about 15 minutes ago that basically went like why
The hell didn’t I text herb this morning and I don’t know I don’t have a good answer that’s a loaf by me herb a bad job at me I said at 11:42 he could make it but you know we didn’t want to that that just that’s not showing herb Howard
The respect that he deserves right so it should have been a 5:00 pm text last night is what that’s been that’s you know that’s on leader hog that’s I’m I’m I’m clearly just taking myself out of any responsibility ever just get a hang well we know that
Hey where’s Poppy I I could have brought poppy back today but I I didn’t want to over I didn’t want to over poppy everybody so maybe I’ll bring her tomorrow if you guys are really asking didn’t even realize poppy was here yesterday that’s how well behaved poppy
Was poppy had a big day poppy poy yeah well Sarah did a great job with her CU you know I tried to tell James he was supposed to watch the dog he played James did a great job he was awesome he helped me turn on lights and stuff he
Was great all right can we let’s go enough with brags and the dog um what do you got so the Bears interviewed Greg ran by the way Nicholas Morano joining us here in about 13 minutes or so we’re going to talk OC candidates he’s been crushing it at all CIO this week writing
Up um and getting the uh the website coverage down on these OC candidates but Greg Roman interviewing with the Bears um and this news was immediately met with a tweet by Dez Bryant who said every wide receiver on the offense better ask for a tradeit I warned
You okay so that’s good now the last time we heard from him he was saying horrible things about Malik Andrews so I don’t really give a [ __ ] about what Des Bryan says but well yeah I mean I still think it’s relevant to bring up Robert
Singleton 499 if they hire a new OC and right away he gives the Playbook to Justin fields and they move on from jf1 would they have to change the verbiage oh I see what you’re saying the so Robert to your point they got to get that in line this when they’re
Making this OCR I know that they were going to be asking questions like what would you do with this quarterback what would you do with that quarterback yeah but before anything gets implemented you would think that whatever they’re going to do you’re going to know who the
Quarterback’s going to be yeah I don’t think they’re going to give Justin Fields A playbook until all sorted out it’s going to be a minute here yeah I I think that’s how that’s going to work um but that’s a good question uh Alex $2 Super Chat
Roman only makes sense if we keep Justin so here’s where I’m going to jump in on this um because I don’t even agree with that makes more sense but go ahead well I do agree with the premise that if you’re hiring Greg Roman it’s most likely to stick with Justin Fields
Because I don’t I don’t like the idea of Greg Roman working with Caleb Williams or anybody else I like the other candidates a lot more who I think fit what Ryan PSE talked about last week which was we want to hire an OC that is versatile and can work with multiple
Quarterbacks um Greg Roman seems like a straight Justin Fields higher but here’s why I don’t even like him for Justin Fields okay how does that fix Justin Fields the passer right it just leans in more to Justin Fields the runner which you can make an argument wouldn’t be the
Worst thing from a production standpoint but that doesn’t fix we already know Justin can do that you’re you’re well you’re you’re Le in on 36 touchdowns and six interceptions and an MVP year for for Lamar in 2019 and you’re basically hoping that he’s going to recreate that
He did throw for 3,200 plus yards so I I do think there is but the reason they moved on from him is because the passing game went into the tank and that’s never been Greg the Greg Roman strength the Greg Roman strength is we’re going to run the football the Bears already do
That the Bears have already kind of had Greg Roman here they don’t Greg Roman doesn’t fix anything that they need to have fixed right now I I think it I I 98% agree with you but I also think that they look at it like it would enhance
What they’re doing now it would take what they’re doing now and supersize it if well it would those times where we look at the film we like why don’t they just run Justin Fields more it would fix that but that doesn’t fix what needs to be fixed with Justin Fields Brandon hord
$5 Greg Roman would be the most Bears things ever Matt Canada is available too let’s go after all the fired terrible OC’s on the open market a lot of people bringing up Lamar Jackson because Lamar Jackson they got rid of Greg Roman they hired Todd monin better passer more
Explosive in the passing game MVP again I that’s all fair I also like to bring Alex Smith into this conversation now we’re getting an interesting zone go ahead because Greg Roman was Jim Harbaugh’s OC in San Francisco where they had Alex Smith they moved on from
Alex Smith to go to Colin Kaepernick to do more of the quarterback run game it was great it worked but what happened to Alex Smith Alex Smith goes to Kansas City becomes a better passer right right so I I don’t like when I think of Alex Smith’s
Career when he was at his best as a quarterback it was once he got to Kansas City and got away from Greg Roman so I don’t like Greg Roman especially if it’s Caleb Williams and I don’t love the idea of Greg Roman quote unquote making Justin Fields better or fixing Justin
Fields I I don’t honestly I I don’t like anything about the hire well well and I don’t think they’re going to hire him either but I understand why they interviewed him so that that’s my look you have a list of five I think meeting with Greg made sense just for the sheer
Fact of what do you see that we’re doing that you like and what do you think that we could do better considering that you had a quarterback who had a similar skill set what where where are we missing what have we not done even what as your making your
Justin Fields evaluation here and just even you know I I don’t if they’re still doing that I assume they are deciding whether or not to move forward so just just having that conversation I think is worthwhile but then you look at the rest of the names the Clint kubak the Shane waldrons
And I got to tell you Greg Olson’s an interesting name to me um if you look at I mean he has taken some really questionable quarterbacks and they have had great Seasons with him so he’s not my favorite on the list but I don’t I don’t think they’re wrong to talk to him
That’s my take hardcore Karm Greg Robin it’s fine to talk to him don’t hire him well I I I yeah and I I think talking to as many candidates as possible and hearing their ideas I mean if nothing else maybe you just take Greg Roman’s ideas for Justin Fields the runner and
Then stealth poles man king poles let’s see let’s see what you say this is totally up your alley man you should know what’s up and that’s what Alex is saying here Alex amerling $2 Super Chat honestly I think Roman is a due diligence thing I hope so and I think
That’s probably the case yeah do you have a favorite right now I think it’s probably Shane Waldren okay um like the lineage like the tree you love the mcvet part of it you like the bich che part like the play calling experience I think the reason why I give
Him a slight nod over Clint kubak is just because he has more play calling experience uh Matt W here 4499 Super Chat Shane Waldren is the best candidate for the Bears he checks off all the boxes experienced play caller McVey tree excellent quarterback’s coach um so it’s that experience factor
That really sells me I really like the idea of clink kubak too the only thing I balk at just a tiny bit is he he only did call plays a one year in Minnesota but we’re seeing the Shanahan guys yep like you know he went to the
School of Shanahan for a year here in in in in San Francisco and they’re still in the playoffs and you know he can take his experience calling plays go see what Kyle Shanahan’s doing for a year that’s a hell of an internship a paid internship paid well internship and come
Back now to Chicago perhaps with Caleb Williams throwing the ball so to me it’s like 1 a 1B there between Waldren and Clint kubak I like I like those I like both of those hires if if that’s on the table so look I’m looking for somebody who took young quarterbacks right and kubak
Gets a ton of credit for what he’s done with Brock py how much of that is completely deserved I don’t know like and this is I’m sure I’m not saying it isn’t but like I would just the sample size is not as large and that’s fine um young guy coming in here
You’re you’re making a big bet that this guy’s the next big thing and you know maybe he’s your you know at some point he he could potentially be your head coach if we’re getting good all you know down the road here but the Olen thing
He’s he’s 60 years old which is you know not necessarily ideal but if you go back through it what who he’s worked with he had my guy young Derek Carr in 2014 got him to 32 170 yard 21 touchdowns in his in his rookie campaign he worked in
2006 he was with the St Louis Rams at the time he had Mark buer be a 4,000 yard passer he had Steven Jackson be a 1500 yard rusher I know that was like that’s light years away he took Josh Freeman with the Bucks Josh damass Freeman first round pick and he got him
To you know averaging 3,000 yards a season 51 touchdowns he got Blake Bortles to a career high he got Blake Bortles to 4428 yards and and 35 touchdowns in his second NFL year I mean that’s impressive well how about the idea of hiring him together he he seems
Like a he seems like a good quarterback’s coach what which that doesn’t make him a good OC which which is and so if you can get Waldren and olssen together sign up for that okay I you I’m not gonna push back on that they need a QB coach um
So I’m just I’m just looking at who he’s been around and what he’s done it’s pretty impressive uh Sam Jones is for two bucks saying can we take a look at the QB coach under slowick that’s Gerard Johnson oh the the longtime quarterback yeah played for everybody I believe he’s
Uh four years as a coach okay yeah I mean I mean I haven’t heard a lot of of that name but sure I mean makes sense to me um um you know and the other thing with kubak I mean I don’t like that I’m sorry
I don’t like the idea hiring a 60 If he if if if Greg also wants to be the quarterback’s coach fine but six-year-old coming in the OC right now but he’s going to partner perfectly with Phil snow he’s going to be great with 61-year-old looking mad Eber flu we’re just going to be
The still working getting the job done I me I was watching uh the Man cast did you you guys watch the Manning cast at all last last night I did not well they had Bruce arens on and they were talking about him with Payton when he was a
Rookie and and he had Tom Moore who’s like still with the bucks now he’s like 80 or something but it was you know he it was arens and more so I I kind of don’t mind as a QB coach scenario if we’re going down old coaches uh I like I
Just like looking at a good season guys but it’s it’s it’s a little more exciting when you get the young dude I get it look sages I like a good Sage every now and then you know the parallels here with Clint kubak though and Kyle Shanahan both coming from I got it you
Know longtime head coaches in the league Kat who would you like to play for if you weren’t a bear you know obviously he doesn’t want KY Shannon yeah that system yeah yep no I got it and you got this you know he’s still 36 he’s got some play calling
Experience now he goes out to San Francisco sees everything they’re doing with barock p as the season guy on the show I I can’t be an aist I got to I gota you know I got to I got to remind people that Vic fangio was the best defensive coordinator we have had here
In ad minute and he wasn’t young 60 is nothing man dude still hitting the tennis ball like a like a monster unlike your truy who blew a incredibly tough loss last night which been nauseating up 86 in third set lost the Final Four Points to lose a match 108
Sorry about that you know at least you didn’t lose at least you didn’t lose a tooth and you know I’m super sore as hell and I’m here this guy’s probably sitting at home drinking Pepsi zeros and smoking weed and thinking this is a great day I don’t
Even buy that he’s at the dentist how’s that yeah he doesn’t do that anymore the weed part I don’t know I don’t know what he does actually he says he doesn’t but I don’t know all right um we’re going to bring in Nicholas Moro in a minute but

Bears but another name out there as a free agent uh time now for us to bring in Nicholas Morano who’s been working hard behind the scenes on some of these OC candidates you can follow him on Twitter at Nicholas Morano you can read him at all
Chg.com and he has a story up right now on Shane walren the Seahawks OC looked at some plays um that might be relevant to the Bears Nick what did you learn in your research on Shane Waldren yeah so first off I think he’s my favorite candidate as of right now
For the five that the Bears a request to interview but obviously comes from that McVey coaching tree like you guys were just talking about but the game that I went back and watched was their matchup with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium it was a 41 to35 lost from this last
Season but in that game I just really liked how Shane Waldren utilized All The Playmakers available obviously they have DK metf dck Jackson Smith njigba Tyler Lockett and throughout the entire of that game all those guys were at one point the first read on a specific play
And you saw Gino Smith just Distributing the football to anyone of those guys at any given moment so I think when you’re looking at what Shane Waldren could bring if he was the Bears OC you’re going to get a guy that’s not really synced into only using one guy in his
Offense he can use multiple guys if he has them uses motion to set guys up just giving advantages to his offensive players and I think if Luke getsy did more of that more consistently he’d still be here but he clearly didn’t so that’s what I really liked about Shane
Walr but like you just said Adam you can go read more about that and I’ll see HD but he definitely is a guy that if you give him weapons he’s going to find the best way to maximize the talent that He has around him Nick what was your reasoning in picking the Cowboys
Game it was just their best offensive performance against a really good defense so just kind of looking back at all of the the games that the Seahawks have played under Gino Smith they just put up they they put up 35 points and were in a shootout consistently against
You know a good defense and we also saw that that type of offensive scheme play or that offensive scheme obviously what um what uh walren comes from McVey and you see what Matt laflor also comes from and that that type of offense like it puts up points and it did so against the
The Dallas Cowboys so it’s just a good indication of what it could look like when it’s maximized to its full potential it’s always interesting to see how some of these coaching things play out so you’re saying Shane Waldren out coach Dan Quinn Dan Quinn may end up being the head coach in
Seattle while Shane Waldron’s out when Dan Quinn just got how many did the Packers put up on on his defense the other day 4,000 and Mike McCarthy who is the head coach over Dan Quinn might be out there while his DC go gets hired somewhere
Else I it’s wild it’s a wild world out there you got to have friends baby the Network’s going to spin where you going to land yeah um Jason Stevens $5 Super Chat would it make sense for polls to consider hiring an o see who has a head coach interim qualities in case flu
Flops at the beginning of 2024 then you can pivot quickly Nick just froze twice at the first one was him just in a peaceful yoga like stance uh yoga like space I should say that was that was adorable now he’s back okay sorry continue on ho go ahead yeah I don’t
Know what um thanks for answering the question there Karm um maybe Nick can answer yeah I don’t know Nick do you have a thought on that yeah so I was uh I mean when I was looking at potential when I before all these names came out that was something I was
Considering but I mean you’re you’re doing that in the the worst case scenario right and I don’t know if the Bears are necessarily thinking along those lines when they’re looking to to hire these offens quars oh in case you know mat reflu you know shits the bag so
To speak we have this guy who can come up and take over so yeah I mean I guess it’s a per it’s a plus but I don’t know if they’re really thinking that way yeah I mean I don’t think flu is going anywhere two that’s that’s clearly is it
The plan yeah it’s like if if if you’re thinking that way already you should have fired him last week yes even if it would have been uncomfortable yeah hey hey Nick um you know you you went through a bunch of plays here how creative would you say they were as far
As using different personnel yeah I mean you saw everything obviously there’s going to be a lot of 11 personnel that’s what everyone in the NFL runs but one of his most creative plays was where he came out after the Cowboys had a turnover on Downs the
First play he comes out with is 13 Personnel three tight ends on first down you’re thinking I you’re thinking as a defense they’re about to run the ball down down their throat first play it’s a it’s a pass and Noah fan and a nice overall for a 25 yard gain so you’re
Seeing the way that Shane Waldron’s thinking even though he has DK MF Tyler lock Tyler Locka Jackson Smith and jiga just went in 13 personnel and passes to Noah Fant on a first and 10 play so there is some variation and you know there were a couple of plays where they
Had some two by two sets and even 3x one where you had a stacked alignment so Jackson Smith and jigo was on the line of scrimmage behind him was Tyler Lockett and then right behind him was one of the tight ends so you’re just presenting different ways that the
Defense just has to think about things so just the more and more I watch that game specific Al the more I was thinking about oh well if you have DJ Moore let’s say you add Marvin Harrison Jr like I could see how you can put those guys on
The same side of the field and utilize and maximize their talents yeah and obviously the goo Smith part of this I do think is relevant to Justin Fields I mean you know you don’t want it to get to the point with Justin Fields where he’s got to have a
Resurgence that late like it’s happened with Gino Smith um but you do like okay if you’re going down that path here’s a coach that did do this with Gino Smith and if you’re not going on that path with a young um rookie quarterback you know I think you like what Shane Waldren
Could potentially do there as well um with one of these rookies so hey really good piece with Nick here on these plays there’s actually you can click through them and watch these plays we can’t show them here on the YouTube show so go check them out at allo.com and you’ll
Get more there uh Nick as you look at some of these other candidates besides Shane walren who really stands out to you yeah so I I’m really on the fence about Greg Roman I don’t know if I like the possibility of what he can do but
Also you me you were talking about Adam like if the Bears were to go this route and getting a guy like Greg Roman he’s gonna play to the strengths of Justin fields and utilize his legs and he had a an interview with the 33rd team and he
Said you got to tap into your player strength so I think he would do that with Justin Fields it’s just how much has he learned from being away from the game for this past season and taking a you know just taking a a t just m zoomed
Out approach of the NFL that he can really show that he’s learned how to adapt and be just a better passing game coordinator in a sense because that’s where his faults lie because I think you’re going to get a good rushing offense but the Bears like you were
Mentioning Adam they’re good at that and the reason why ultimately the Ravens and Greg Roman part of ways is that and know I’ll just quote with Jameson Hensley who covers the Ravens for ESPN he said Roman’s downfall was the inability to put together a passing game to
Complement a record setting Run game and his questionable play calling in the Red Zone haven’t you ever seen that with with Luke gsy and the Bears offense for the past couple of Seasons so I think you’re GNA see an efficient Justin field but unless he really takes that next
Step as a as a just a guy that can develop passing plays and at really complement the Run game then I don’t know what’s this what’s the ceiling of this Bears offense like I just don’t know if that’s what the route that you want to go in today’s NFL where you do
Need to have a a lethal passing attack we saw that from CJ Stout and Jordan love and you know what the lions are doing uh with with Ben Johnson so I just don’t know if that would be the route but I can see why it would be intriguing
If you want to keep Justin fields and you know just maximize the athletic ability that not a lot of quarterback have and you know Greg Roman has worked with a lot of guys that have that that type of attribute whether it’s Colin Kaepernick Alex Smith even you back to
His college days at Stanford Andrew Luck was he he could do both but obviously he can you know pass from the pocket so it’s interesting and when I tweeted out yesterday what are your thoughts on Greg Roman I swear I got every single response you can imagine people that
Hate him people that love him and everything in between so all right let’s go big Nicholas Morano if the Bears are drafting Caleb Williams Drake May whatever they’re moving on rookie quarterback who do you think of the candidates Liam con uh Greg Olsen Clint kubak Shane Waldren Greg
Roman who do you think is the most friendly instantly to a to a rookie to come in and pick up the system again I’ll go back to the first guy I mentioned Shane Waldren and what you saw from Gino Smith where I think will translate with C Cale Williams game
Right now is the the footwork and the timing of throws you saw that from Gino Smith on out routs it it was on time on point and like even if let’s say the Shane Waldren were to be here with Justin Fields like that would be something Fields would need to work on
Consistently to get to that level where goo Smith was showing last season but I think if you have a guy like Caleb Williams with walren who has that experience of three seasons in Seattle being the OC I think you’re going to put him in the best position to succeed
Because I think the Bears are going to continue to add weapons put a lot of just targets and and weaponry for Caleb Williams to work with so he’d be my my top choice but you know Clint kubak is is a second right now just because of
What they were kind of what they were able to do in that 2021 season with Minnesota yes you have one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and Justin Jefferson but you you got a lot out of Adam thielen as well and one of the best
Games he had watching back and I’ll have an article on this uh later today in 2021 they went up against the Green Bay Packers and it ended up being basically a shootout for um the Vikings and Packers in that game but the Packers were second in the NFL in all these
Different categories in term or number three in the NFL in points per game given up pass defense Total Defense yards per play at least amount of 20- yard plays the Vikings put up 34 points on that Packers defense and cousins balled out and you had Justin Jefferson
Contributing Adam Thelen dvin cook had a bunch of yards on the ground so there was a lot of good things I like from Clint kubak and that really one season that he’s had as the OC calling plays he did have a prefent actually last year you guys in 2022 Midway through the
Season in Denver where he the the play calling was relinquished to him oh Nick Nick just froze that’s too bad ni was on fire yeah but you know when you start bringing up the 2022 Denver Broncos and what happened under Nathaniel hacket I mean things break
That things like that happen I mean you just freeze you freeze like Nathaniel Hackett did week one against the Seattle Seahawks when he was facing Shane Waldren you know and just y That’s the but to be I’m glad Nick was just about to bring that up though because that is
Something we do have to discuss if we’re going to talk about Clint kubc I don’t necessarily blame him for anything that happened in 2022 that was a pretty much a ridiculous disaster under I think that that coaching staff uh Nathaniel Hackett again I I bring
This up all the time I have never other than maybe Jim Tom Sula in San Francisco I’m not sure I have ever seen Midway through the first game he’s ever coaching and you’re already having that uh oh I don’t know that this guy can do this type of thing Pat tomasulo’s
Brother yes it it yeah it it was instant I mean it was bad it was that bad right away now do you hold that against Clint kubak who was the passing game coordinator and Russell Wilson’s quarterback’s coach I don’t know with all the stuff that’s come out of Denver
What we learned learn that se from That season I don’t know that that’s fair and then he does go off to San Francisco and he’s now under Kyle Shannon so maybe he gets a pass for that but is part of the uh part of the storyline that’s for sure
Well yes and but you get a big stamp of approval and K’s like yes yes I will take you on my staff because I consider you a bright young mind who can augment what we’re doing here that’s it’s a decent praise right there and as Nick
Was trying to say there before um his power went out in the apartment power out some issues wow Kevin Warren should if he’s listening you know Arlington Heights power issues exactly or sorry guys the apartment literally just lost power or if you want to go full conspiracy theory Kevin Warren’s
Watching the show really likes Clint kubak knew Nick was about to bring up what happened in 2022 and zap the power so that it couldn’t come across I think the important thing to lean into is here Nick lives in Arlington Heights Arlington Heights sucks keep the keep the Bears in the
City Luke stuck Meer in the background saying hey yeah yeah telling me to keep Arlington Heights out of my mouth I’ll I’ll keep it in my mouth thank you very much and uh that suburb is is is bumped exact and the Bears shouldn’t go there nor should they go to richon park or
Anywhere else CI CH hii thank you very much C AO congrats spelling the city I really struggled there that that was took you 50 years to spell Chicago yeah that was rough and I said some other things there that was probably not the best thing that I’ve ever said but anyway you suck
Arlington Heights is the point easy man don’t take it out on the fine people in Arlington Heights there’s a lot of them there that don’t want them either yeah look I’m not talking about the people Downtown Arlington Heights is a very nice place yeah have you ever
Been there yeah you’ve never been so I have I have played softball at meis Park for years that’s not hanging out in downtowns we went we would go to downtown like tonights for for drinks afterwards that counts here come I mean listen Luke stuck did everything he
Could for that town but yeah here no you can sit here I I’m I’m getting out of the way at this let let’s go sit down Luke yes go ahead the village of good neighbors yeah doesn’t need your positivity or negativity carry on carry
On if you want to make fun of El Grove go ahead yeah don’t don’t you you want the Bears at Chicago Luke I know you do I don’t care as long as my taxes don’t go up well well there you go your taxes are going to go up and I are going to
Have words uh Cub show coming up at 1:30 by the way now we brought in El Grove to this you know Village of the town of El Grove what do they call it El Gro Village those commercials I don’t know hey uh I love all suburbs here here Here
Comes Here Comes the Chicago media hog the leader now I love everyone I’m really no no no no no no no I I mean listen I’ll get on board if I have to get on board but until I have to get on board I’m not getting on board how’s
That Crystal Lake’s a little questionable by the way uh speaking of uh C Jo Cubs uh at 1:30 they have an interview with Mike talkman that they got to get convention well they they they did at Cubs convention we’ll be playing okay very cool like talk talk to
Me there we go let’s do it the Cubs signed anyone yet sha oh yeah sha right I like that dude seems like he’s an entertaining fellow I mean the Alternatives a sign the guys the white socks have signed quick uh who are those guys yeah they’re all former Royals
Quick note about Greg Roman here’s my one question with him and maybe this is just me but if you if you look on screen in 2020 his goatee was a little salt and peppery white oh but he in 2022 has gone the I don’t know maybe guy Fetti route I
Don’t know he’s definitely dying his goatee and that that concerns me is that is that a problem well let me tell you as somebody who uh fights this battle every day and I’ve just given in and as you can see the gray everywhere and when I say everywhere I do mean everywhere um
I mean God that’s it’s that day buddy we’re in the off season I’m here to I’m here to entertain myself nothing else uh and there’s a lot going on I get it but the point is that that is a lot that’s a huge commitment by Roman not easy to do
That all the time he’s got that’s a lot of Maintenance so so attention to detail Roman he should get he should get at least a couple points for that or or we need to look into the exact timing when he started time dying that beard and how
Much did that take away of his game planning for Lamar Jackson yeah that’s that’s also fair I might be spending too much time on the beard Fu man Shu maybe maybe maybe we got to cross him cross him off the list that is a goatee that
Is not a Fu Manu whatever same thing yeah yeah not the same F man shoe’s not even close to what that is what’s isn’t that the one that comes like oh yeah you know goatee F man shoe facial hair Roman Bears he’s not the if please don’t talk about your gray hairs
Ever again okay let me ask you this if you had to BET right now hog as I get the show back on track that I oh you’re getting it back it might have taken it off track if you had to BET right now when and who do the bear higher
Uh well I’m might have to give you two answers cuz if it’s walren I don’t know maybe by the end of the week you think it’s that soon I mean why wouldn’t it be if that’s the direction you’re going to go yeah um obviously if you want Clint kubak you
Gota wait till their season’s over and that could be a month well here comes Green Bay you know yeah no okay okay so you so basically you’re saying if it drags out you’re you’re you’re you’re you would be putting heavy money on Clint kubak and if you hear selling this week you’re
Betting on Shane Waldren I heard that right well right I mean if you get an announcement this week it’s not Clint kubak right I got it you know so so but if it starts dragging out you could almost make you could you could make a realistic argument that kuc is the
Favorite the Duke $20 here saying I honestly just don’t care anymore take Caleb take the picks take uh pick who who you want an OC but whatever pulse does get it right I’m done being patient win the division 2024 or I’m lighting a bag of poop on his porch on fire going
The old Mighty Ducks route it’s a legitimate Threat by the Duke that I’m sure he doesn’t fully mean but hey the Duke is the Duke is speaking for many impatience is a part of the fandom right now but it’s it’s it’s better sound like the Duke was turning on Justin Fields a
Little bit is what I heard which was a hope said yeah just win baby you did a little bit of Raiders there the Duke last week it was want Justin Fields no matter what now Slim Tony turned on him no I mean did you SL Tony wow $2
Justin is Terrell prior 2.0 that is I like that prior get moved to receiver yeah listen Caleb Williams did he did that Instagram post do anything for you it was a very well-written Instagram post what I thought was perhaps more relevant was how Ian Rapaport phrased his tweet that he’s
Willing to go anywh the news yeah that he was like and he’s willing to attack hit the ground running wherever he’s what was the exact wording wherever he’s drafted that seemed important yeah I mean I just loved when he went with there I still have a lot to learn I’m ready to
Whatever it takes as a kid I said this is what I was going to do for the rest of my life but I didn’t work this hard just to reach this point I will continue my journey to make the little kid proud of the man I will be for many years to
Come I’m excited for the future I’m officially declaring for the NFL draft if we all live to make our little kid proud as we get into some better help uh little categories here that is a that that is an that is a dude you don’t write that without some understanding of
Of human beings which is impressive unless the little kid said I want to play for Washington no matter what cuz that’s where I grew up well I’m just saying that maybe that’s what the little kid said that’s not what the little kid said the little kid wants to play
Football the little kid doesn’t care where it is the little kid is super excited to have fun on the football field and to and the little kid wants to believe that he can do it and the big kid is taking telling the little kid yes you can I’m going to work and we’re
Going to do this together buddy you’re coming with and by the way the little kid also is reading your article and saying like I was going to say if anybody read my newsletter this morning they know I’m right well the little kids reading your article be like that sounds
Like a fun place to play Chicago home of the greatest athlete to ever play any sport greatest sports fans despite what some of the media are trying to do to those sports fans this week this is where he belongs here man this is it it’s lining up what I love
Like the most about what he announced on Instagram was him channeling the Mamba mentality and Kobe Bryant I love that mentality too I mean with a little video Kobe in there I mean anyone who’s trying to say that it can it can be true that he has interests outside of
Football but also car deeply about football and winning and I don’t mean to invoke a guy you don’t like but LeBron James comes to mind D he in my head LeBron James and you know who knows LeBron James very well kin Warren yeah and so if there’s if there’s
Somebody inside this franchise that would Embrace um and actually do a good job in perhaps networking putting Kayla Williams in a sense of comfort of hey this is a place where you can succeed both on and off the field we’re going to give you all those Avenues in this big Market with

That’s uh and you get the that hooks us up yes all right um let’s get to some supers to get to uh take us home here uh first one from Total Malarkey was I believe when we were talking about brags and his potential uh lisp with the tooth
Missing so you have to read it that way about that Jordan love the only problem with that Super Chat total is that it needs to be about 1,400 more words and then and then we’d be in the spirit of Gregory pen yeah Isaac seagull $5 cap
And Jay Hood played a clip of brags and baly today and shouted out chg today moving on up wow that’s awesome that they did that we appreciate it appreciate it um wonder what now I’m trying to think of what it would have been I think it was the the one about uh
Baldi working with Caleb when he was 17 maybe I feel like brag just reposted that sort of brought that back to light there was a yeah there’s a video going around last night of them watching film together when he was 17 years old yeah I was very annoyed by that video because
The audio was off and I was like come on QB Collective what are you doing we’ve got Baldi tomorrow and we can have Baldi lean into Caleb one more time or another time probably be doing this a lot before April 25th yeah we do have Baldi on
Tomorrow’s show right off the top at noon $5 here from Parker what is your guys dream off seon with everything wow that’s tough one right there Parker cuz there’s so many opend question I’d like a vacation I like I like the concept of Caleb and Marvin both coming here that
Oh if that yeah that’s a pretty good dream scenario I mean you’re going to have to pay up to do that but if you’re talking about winning the off season that would be that would do something I mean that is a dream I could live with romad dun though
Sure at number nine yeah yeah yeah I mean if you get you know mhj you know come on yeah but you have to pay for that yeah it’s fine okay lot of future assets now we’re giving up draft Capital like it’s free money again like the last
GM I one of one of the notes that uh I came across today hoger along those lines which I thought was interesting as I pull it up here over the last 25 drafts all right it’s a significant example size the first non quarterbacks taken all right 25 drafts the first non
Quarterbacks so the best player off the board that wasn’t a quarterback that was you know deemed that well I remember doing this last year before the draft 66 Pro bowls yeah yeah I mean that player you know you’re taking a big swing big guess Big Hope on the QB yeah but the
Next guy that goes you that’s not a QB you pretty much know yeah I did this I remember doing this before the draft last year I didn’t 25 years back but I pretty much like I think I looked at like the last 10 drafts or something and
Like nine of the 10 guys were like all Pros like whoever the first non QB is is almost always a hit it’s like the most sure thing you can get in a thing that’s definitely not a sure science right which is why and by the way the
Cardinals last year trading up for Will Anderson who’s not on that list yet but he’s gonna be so I don’t know if it is it worth it for the Bears to pay a bunch to trade up to take that guy and Marvin Harrison Jr maybe it is right so you’re saying Get
The Best of Both Worlds where you can draft your quarterback but also get that this this is the Houston Texans example they got their quarterback and then they still managed to get the top non QB I mean which is like almost guaranteeing yourself a victory and then as it turns
Out oh by the way the quarterback they landed might be amazing forever well I mean I think the dream scenario is there is you trade Justin you get better value than a lot of people think you’re going to said the falc right you get you get you get Mel
Kyper value for him okay let me say it like that then and you take that you take the Justin pick and your nine and you go up and you get Marvin that’s like free money that feels free to me Ryan P comes out of the draft with Caleb Williams and
Marvin Harrison Jr I don’t even that guy over there will be totally on board I don’t care who you are the biggest Justin Fields fan that Justin Fields dad will be ecstatic with that I get it hey my son’s going to ball out in Atlanta screw you Chicago but I get what
You’re doing that how about bich and Justin in Atlanta you like that I do like that I think that would be I think that would be whoever bill would bring in I thought Justin would like that I don’t know Bill Matt Patricia as is OC that’s a problem
Then then they’ll be cooking can you imagine what belich is do by the way that was a cool thing that hogga retweeted about belich that I did not know people who have been reaching out for jobs over the years to try to work for the Patriots they get a they get a
Beautiful letter from Bill bellich that he signs and ENC he’s encouraging them to continue to pursue their dreams to get into the NFL that was super cool by big Bell yeah well let’s give uh yeah that was our guy Zack Stevens that was Zach Stevens oh that was DM are Zack
Stevens his actual letter that how cool is that that was on sports center today from Zach that’s amazing yeah so Zach who works out at dmvr covers the Broncos um shared last week that he would write these letters to NFL teams when he was coming out of school and some would
Respond some wouldn’t but Bill belich had an actual letter um that he wrote to back to him now it might be a standard letter that maybe they send out and he just signs who knows but it’s still cool that he did that um if you go into his
Comments too there was a somebody else responded with one that belich sent too it was super yeah I I mean I I’ve tried to plant a hard flag on the ground saying that look that Brady was more way more important than Bill and all these things that I I haven’t I haven’t been
The most positive Bill bellich guy just for his boring demeanor that he brings to the table which irks me but this is freaking cool yeah um and you know whoever whoever bill goes you’re going to feel like you’re I mean you just got a home run that bill bellich
Just became your head coach I mean I’d have that framed in my office right yeah without a doubt um but it just once again goes to prove that the the world’s greatest football Minds were born on April 16th um there you go yeah all right what else we got for supers the Duke
$20 shower thought this morning oh you like shower thoughts you should read this one I do love a good shower thought hope you were singing in there duke or just you know doing other things if the Bears decide they like Drake Bay that’s two today I think it’s like four you’re
I’m on a I’m flowing the the uh no pun if the Bears decide they like Drake May the Bears will have given us two Ryan two mats two North Carolina QBs who wear number 10 coincidence or proof of extraterrestrials you decide look that is a great shower thought by the Duke
You imagine the Duke is he trying to say the Masis are extraterrestrials I don’t know but I just imagine the Duke in the shower just sitting there with a with a good solid warm flow you know Rising him up on a bitter cold day and then all of a sudden
He’s having brilliant thoughts that’s how the Duke lives his life so how he got all the money that the Duke’s been rolling around in that shower is probably huge and has five different a it’s a it’s a sources of water coming out guaranteed rain shower with all the extremities you’re unbelievable what’s
Next Martin $10 I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to read this one if PS had the confidence to double down on the flu despite his struggles the last two seasons why wouldn’t he have the same mindset with Justin Fields polls did talk about the importance of continuity
Um be the because different positions it’s because of Caleb that’s why Martin I think yeah but it’s a fair point like hey man really this dude’s the best guy out there is in flo but I kind of knew he’s a good good call um one thing is
That he hired Flo and he did not draft Justin and that cannot be said enough Richie s Santiago yo Nick Class of 91 we Bulldogs Bear Down Class of 91 oh so he was the class of 91 yeah Nick was Richie’s over I got it they were saying Nick wasn’t even close to
Being born at 91 that’s nauseating John 939 $2 I’ll drive the Duke in a getaway car it’s in regards to the Mighty Ducks thing oh good good call back love it uh Keys $2 contradiction is kicking y all asses trust polls who’s contradicting where I think he’s talking
About the chat there was an earlier one or I mean our headline yesterday was trust polls I don’t know well it was do you trust polls yeah but on the on the picture it was trust polls question mark so yeah uh zeth Hicks $20 do you think
There’s a certain number of plays games that that Justin would have needed to change in order to solidify his place as qb1 or was he not even close 10 plays three Game ending drives how much needed to change I look I uh that’s a yes I think that
You know there’s many examples of games where he could have look the bottom line is his fourth quarter stats are not good they’re just they’re just not it’s just the reality of the the situation but a lot of that is due to his deficiencies in getting rid of the ball fast enough
You want to hear throwing with anticipation which is not necessarily going to change you want to hear my dumbest take of the 2024 year but might be brilliant at the same time say the Derek car thing that was technically 20123 you apologize to me for that you should not go back on your
Word the if he had played big against the Packers and they had won that football game I think it’s a different conversation literally it could have just been that one if he had if he had had his best game as a bear against Green Bay I think we’re having a
Completely different conversation today ah maybe we’re not that’s why I said it I think it makes it harder that’s why we talked about leading into that game I think I I certainly think not playing well in that game and Jordan love playing extremely well and Jordan love
Continuing to play well in the playoffs is not helping yeah I mean too many games where the Bears didn’t score touchdown but and I know it’s not all on him I know I know I know I know but I I do think to your to your question zth if he
Had rocked the Packer game the off the offseason might be a whole lot different right now Scotty B $20 Rex Gman Mitch trabis Justin Fields all talented never developed pattern for the last 20 plus years of first round QBs I think we need to stop talking about who is QB more and
More at who is developing 13 OC’s in 26 years is that good Scotty I addressed this in my newsletter this morning I think there’s way more evidence that they’re just drafting the wrong QBs do you really believe Mitch trabis and Rex Grossman would have been any different anywhere
Else because that’s the argument you’re saying because Mitch trabis by the way has been worse since he left the Bears worse there were a lot of people in this town David Kaplan who thought that Mitch trabis was going to go off and just light it up that would be incorrect thank you by
The way for playing our sound today I’m not saying they’ve done a good job of developing these guys I don’t think they have but I don’t think that’s the problem I think the problem is they’ve drafted the wrong quarterbacks and I think there’s a very good chance that
Caleb Williams could be the right quarterback if he isn’t I mean he’s like that means everyone’s wrong pretty much I mean pretty I mean literally you can’t you have a hard time finding someone that’s like take Drake May I’m telling you I’m telling you that that
Take is that that’s a needle and a Hy stack so everyone’s wrong even the guys that say that are like Caleb’s gonna be good too like Nate Ty has has Drake May ahead of Caleb Williams but he every time he says that he’s like but Caleb
Williams is going to be really good too he just really likes may I I think I haven’t heard one person come out and be like avoid him with at all costs this is a mistake right right whereas last year with Bryce young it was like yeah he’s not even 511 and he’s
190 pounds soaking wet I’m getting text from from my guy will and he’s like well tell me what’s different about him than Justin I mean it just seems to me that they’re the same guy not even close m a hog tap yeah and because come
A die hard if you want to read Hog’s content yeah newsletter out this morning Scotty B uh name one OC that has gone on to do anything after the Bears five well Adam gas when I was the head coach of the jets that went well yeah again I’m not saying that they’ve had
The best coaching but that’s not the question that was asked do you believe that Rex grman would have been a good quarterback if he had been drafted somewhere else if Miss trabis been drafted by the 49ers with Kyle Shanahan do you think that he’s Brock pie or do you think he’s Tre
Lance they’re both problems I’m acknowledging that the Bears have not been the best environment for any offensive players quite frankly to have an immense amount of success but y’all are burying your heads in the sand if you think it’s not a scouting problem that they didn’t just pick the wrong
Quarterback and by the way Justin Fields is the best example if you’re going down that route of could just I believe Justin Fields could be in a better position he’s in right now had he been in a better spot as a rookie and not been drafted into that situation I do
Not think Justin Fields would be an all proo quarterback though and the reality is unfortunately you can’t get in a time machine and change the damage that was done so Justin Fields but I put this in my newsletter this morning too would was Justin Fields going to become an all pro
If he goes down to Atlanta or somewhere else I think Justin Fields will continue to be a solid starting quarterback who is very fun to watch which is what he already is here I think he will continue to be that wherever he ends up and that could be an upgrade in
A lot of places including Atlanta including New England including you know the Raiders there’s a lot of different places where where he would be an upgrade but the difference is the Bears have access to something none of those teams do and that’s Caleb Williams and I don’t understand how this
Doesn’t make sense to people well I think it makes sense I just think that they have an emotional attachment to Justin which I get which is I get it too he’s cuz he’s he’s adorable but that’s not what we’re arguing yeah we’re we’re we’re trying to
Go into a time machine and making argu ments that that Mitch trabis would have been better elsewhere like no right Mitch is I love the one if Mitch Tris goes to the Chiefs would he even matter we saw that Matt naggie was his coach here we also
Seen naggie making the Chiefs worse too so come on guys but not completely ruining Patrick Mahomes either so uh Andrew Meyer $5 chj has its franchise super chatter in the Duke now it’s time to get the franchise QB if you still have to think of Justin as your guy he
Isn’t if you still have to think if Justin is your guy he isn’t um he’s right about the Duke he is our franchise super chatter and we are signing the Duke to a 10-year I think he’d be signing us let’s be honest right well whatever but long-term deal for a lot of
Money Kaden Turner two $2 do we know when wal kubak interviews are they they’ve only met with Roman that we know correct or do I have that wrong I thought give me a second kayen hang on I’ll try to get your answer I’ll I’ll keep on moving through kayen appreciate
It Doug vanor is here today $5 don’t you think you can’t take anything pul says about the QB as proof of anything as long as he has to hold his poke Grand close to his chest yes Doug I absolutely agree with you there you can’t Ryan PES has got to play the
Best poker of his life right now to get the maximum value but I would also say that like even if he plays that great poker that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to get a ton more for Justin and or the number one pick I think people are going to establish
Their values but he does have to do that by the way I just want to make sure I this right no the Bears have already done five OC interviews oh they’ve already interviewed W they already interviewed kubak they already interviewed Greg Olson they already interviewed Liam Cohen and they already
Interviewed Now Greg Rowan growman Roman groman groman yeah there you go Doug vanor F wait did you already do that one y did I was looking that up sorry next one keep going I’m gonna get that last one Alexandri fary pass5 I don’t think his name is FY pass
I said fary pass for f pass Alexander next time you say anything to us let us know thank you boys for an awesome aome season coverage excited for the off in PS the producers are fantastic yeah great effing job by them law you’re awesome thank Alandra from Portugal that’s that’s that that’s
That’s good looking out there sure that’s not your burner account uh no far I’ve seen him he’s got a he’s definitely a die hard he rules all right uh we got a super chat from Peter a or we can go to the other guy whatever
You want to do let’s go to pet let’s see what Peter a maybe he might have sent something I don’t know let me check hold on good job Karm oh he’s in there I mean it give me a way to get away from okay so let’s go with he’s got a bunch of
Chats here let’s go with this one okay Peter a for those that say qb1 has the tools you are right however you need to be able to use the tools I have a ton of tools in my garage but doesn’t make me a mechanic or a carpenter that’s a good
Point it’s an excellent point and I relate to that that Peter a I have no idea how to do anything it’s I have a tennis racket I’m not a tennis player yeah look ju but but Justin knows how to use his tools he just could use them a
Little bit better and he’s and to Hog’s I agree with hog Justin’s not going to go anywhere and stink he’s going to go he’s going to go and be exactly what he’s been uh and he’ll get better over time too so you know there’s going to be
Moments where he’s going to be highly successful and it’s going to feel a little bit wonky that he’s doing that I think that’s a pretty much a guarantee total Malarkey $5 it was a Cowboys joke y’all how about them Cowboys Jordan love yeah okay brags in the stands we’ve
Heard of this guy um he boycott this chat he can type even when he doesn’t have a tooth $5 Super Chat I shared your bent take on Twitter because you want to be funny on the timeline Karm revenge is a dish best serve cold okay he uses that
Stupid line about revenge cold things just by the way be careful with cold foods today after getting your tooth fixed might be some sensitivity there what you need to do is own your softness and just not try to you know do the Revenge Twitter act but that’s what
Somebody who would take off a day for a tooth would do I get it no problem y I mean look at that face it’s ridiculous I mean you can barely see that it’s missing is he back tomorrow if he had done the whole show last night without mentioning what had happened do you
Think anyone would have noticed that his tooth was gone he’s I don’t think so uh I don’t know if he’s back tomorrow ask him I don’t know how how many he says his tooth is fixed but I don’t know does he need a day of recovery from the
Big surgery I mean we might we might have to send a massage therapist out there to get a him in the proper mode to be able to come back here I don’t know what has to do with a tooth but okay well everything must hurt I mean he’s probably feeling
Pain everywhere it’s been a tough day for Gregory all right final word today goes uh ton ton didn’t some of these same experts that’s screaming about Caleb Williams rank Mitch higher than momes uh but that was that’s different because this is more consensus well it’s also different because I’ll raise my own
Hand on this one but I had a late first round grade on Mitch I didn’t have a slam dunk number one overall grade on Mitch it’s it’s it’s not even close to the to the same thing um and that’s why there was hesitation over what the Bears did to get
Mitch um by trading up and taking them the way they did but you know it’s gonna be a long four months and stuff like that that’s fine I love this everyone telling Greg to feel better let him know your true feelings tell him how much you just miss
Him thank you Robert at least someone cares from Greg in the chat we turn the guy into a sympathetic figure that’s that’s a bad job by me and you mainly probably me all right that’s on you I’m gonna let you handle brags uh I welcome Greg coming back tomorrow I
Welcome him too I missed him yeah I I hope he’s I hope he’s strong enough to be able to handle to come in yeah by the way last word on that too everyone makes mistakes when it comes to all draft picks like no one bats 100 that’s not
How this works no one claims to um I’ve certainly been wrong about plenty of quarterbacks I’ve been right about plenty of quarterbacks um and there’s certainly a chance that Caleb Williams doesn’t work out no one’s going to sit here and say that it’s 100% certainty it’s about
Which option door number one or door number two when you factor in everything that goes into it is better and for the 1 millionth time I don’t even think anybody here is out on Justus and Fields no one has said that door number two has plenty of
Uh reason for optimism with what you would get for the number one pick and um also I’m certainly not going to sit here and repeat that little diet tribe every single day maybe once a week though yeah once a week’s good maybe once a week so
That’s this week’s yeah look uh trust in polls and logical guess as to what he’s going to do yeah and just seems like we’re just in we’re on a nice cruising boat towards drafting a quarterback feels like you got keep you got to keep swinging at the most important position in sports especially
When you have the picture this as that hanging breaking ball being left right over the plate there’s still no guarantee you know you might fall it off still but you certainly have a better chance of hitting that one out of the ballpark than uh the old school chis sale slider
Down and Away how about that for an analogy I I like it and and even better than that like if you were a single girl walking into a bar and and Greg Braggs was single would you go up to him or would you go shoot a lot higher for the
Stud in the corner you wouldn’t stop at brags you you’d go you’d go for the you’d go for the big dog that’s how I see it no comment I think Martino deserves the last word that’s a good it’s a good statement I I agree with this very much says take out
The emotions from the fields vers Williams debate we can all agree Chicago is in a good spot regardless of what happens that’s y yes we agree Martin yeah all right um good show today go sign up be a Die Hard uh hang out with us there in the Discord
Um even when brags can’t do a show he’ll still be in the Discord you can count on that the best way you can support us is by use you know supporting our advertisers and be a Die Hard as we try to grow this thing so
It helps us a ton if you can do any of the above so thank you alo.com die hard we will be back tomorrow Baldi joins us at noon Greg Bragg should also be back we assume um you know but you never know where his what his status is maybe he’s
A game time decision probably talked about him too much today N I don’t know we’ll talk to you tomorrow at noon see you we all cting like the mayor

Swahawaks have 2 1 st round receivers and Tyler Lockett who had almost 900 yards this year and we have dj and Darnell Mooney . Wtf
This one smells like Eberflus. Please no Roman unless you want DJ Moore to have 450 yards receiving and your QB to be hurt by week 7.

Hoge should switch to an RE-20 mic and run it off-axis. Would fix all the plosives.
No to Roman.
Caleb Williams , to me looks a lot like a slower smaller Justin a fields , with a shorter throwing stroke and questionable leadership.
Does his short throwing motion make up for him home if the ball 3 seconds , passing up easy short routed looong for home run, failure to throw with anticipation?
Why would he leave Baltimore?
@Carm I see you in the future as a real estate agent. You're selling Duke's estate [as he switches to a new island] and you're giving your first tour. As you, Mark Carman, enter the 2nd bedroom's bathroom, you say to the potential buyers, "Do you love this bathroom or what? Look at this super flowie rain shower head with all of these phenomenal extremities!" [Like you said at the 1:00:00 mark on this podcast]
The woman of the interested party says to her husband, "Mark said extremities instead of amenities in the bathroom. Should I correct him, so he doesn't say that in the future?" The husband replies, "Just let it go, because word on the street is that he's a lifelong Bears fan and has suffered enough." The wife responds, "Good point! I won't make him suffer any further. I mean, look at his driver, the big guy with Shrek hands and a missing tooth. He looks scary! How much worse can things get?"
Ohhhhhhhhhh! Hey guys! HURRY HURRY…there's so many shiny new things…omg…how could we help ourselves?!? Caleb?!?!..Drake!?!?..Objectivity?!? Journalism!?!? INTEGRITY?!? OMG tho!…the shiny, NEW TOY!?!? Omg….HEY,!!!…JAGBAGS…You IDIOTS are a JOKE! It is ALL DOCUMENTED
No.
The Raven offense went from 17th in scoring in 2022 to 3rd in the NFL AFTER Roman left.
Lamar Jackson is a better QB without him.
Straight haters. Whatever happened to loyalty, whatever happened to practice makes perfect, the longer you do something the better you are. I just don't understand how you don't see that trading the number one pick to accrue more draft capital and players doesn't make the team better an example the San Francisco 49ers. Instead of trading away your quarterback like the Cleveland Browns did Baker Mayfield, who would have been better this year with him. Or be like the Baltimore Ravens who didn't want to keep Joe Flacco but when they did, they won the Super bowl. And the meaning behind me saying this is, the grass isn't greener on the other side it is greenish where you water it.
Please keep Justin Fields ❤ Green Bay Packers!
Imagine sitting up there and saying with confidence that the bears are just drafting the wrong quarterbacks, for the past 50 plus years and not thinking it’s an organization problem. But every other team in this league has had at least a quarterback that has actually been able to pass for over 3500 yards. These guys look more like 🤡🤡🤡 to me as I listen to their podcasts as the days go by. Then sit there and go on to say that Caleb is the closest thing to Patrick Mahomes, so they have to draft him because he’s the answer, but forget to mention that Mahomes sat for 3 years behind a really good quarterback in Alex Smith, and was developed by one of the all time greatest offensive minded head coaches in football in Andy Reid.
HC, QB, GM, any staff, I will DIE on the hill of NO DOME. For the love of all that is holy, if this team makes a dome that will truly be a dagger through my heart. I've been to Soldier Field many times and in some very bad weather. THAT'S FOOTBALL! If GB winds up being the only team in the division with a real stadium, that will really f'ing hurt. Please no dome. C'mon, man the F up.
Caleb Williams is awesome at throwing to wide open receivers while standing in pockets the size of Texas all day
He’s probably too one dimensional to develop Justin or Caleb.
Not even close… similar struggles argubly more obvious struggles in college
I have more crowns than I care to count and have had one pop off. Stuck it back on (removed it for chewing) until I could get into the dentist to have it glued back on, and we're talking like a 20-year-old one. There is ZERO pain involved. Toughen up Braggs. 😛
If the Bears do not hire Roman, do you know who will swoop in and hire him-??
Nobody.
Dam them saying the bears not gone hire Greg Roman means they finna hire him it would be so bears for the bears to hire Roman 😂
If the Bears trade the number 1 pick.. these grown men will literally cry on this podcast for an hour and then pretend like they are cool with it.. Whether they will admit it or not.. Caleb Williams played fantastic against real bad college defenses and when he plays a good college defense, he told like an accordion then he goes and cries on his mommy’s shoulder and then won’t talk to the media.
If the Bears hire Greg Roman, I'll drink myself to sleep. He will not make Justin (or Caleb) a BETTER PASSER! WHICH WE NEED!!!!!!!!!!! Look at what Shane Waldren did for Geno. Hire Shane or some other OC that can call good plays and make our QB1(3) the best passer he can be. FOR FUCK SAKE MAN!
Klint Kubiac 🔥🔥
Bears offensive ranking 20, Seattle 21! Not so good
Com2 on – you should know better. Caleb did not write the instagram. He paid a professional to write it for him. You are very easily fooled.
