Kap & J. Hood
9/9 8 AM: Shot or No Shot
[MUSIC] Good morning, and welcome in to the Captain J Good Morning Show on ESPN 1000. And streaming on the ESPN Chicago App at A Bear's Victory Monday with David Kaplan. Jonathan Hood with you, not time for shot or no shot. Many were flew to hit choke for the Bears at 8-20. Here's Shane Norling. Shane? Good morning boys on a Bears Victory Monday. I want to make sure I make that clear victory Monday. You wouldn't know it from some of the callers in the first hour, but it is what it is. Big win at Soldier Field yesterday. How are we feeling? It's great. We're good, man. We found a way to win a football game. We did. Couple years ago, they beat the 49ers and then they ended up winning two games the rest of the year. They were like, wow, look at that. Here come the Bear. And they won two games the rest of the year. It's one week. Clean up your mess, get on the road to Houston, and find a way. Yeah. Imagine if they were to loss Sunday. Houston almost lost yesterday. One by two over the Colts in Indy. And there are seven point favorite. Let's go. Shout out to the running game and the defense for holding things up. But again, it has to be, and I like that the Bears talk about team, why team is important. If someone else is not getting the job done, someone else has to, if a unit's not getting the job done, another unit has to. You got to have more of these players and units to be able to come together to help win a ball game if someone falls flat, like the quarterback in the offensive line. Agree? Like you. You have to piece me together the best you can to win a game. Thank God it was the Titans. OK, now it's Houston coming up on Sunday. That's a much better football team. Look forward to seeing that matchup. He will lose at a 20. Here's Shane Orlin. All right. There's a lot of concern already about Caleb Williams after yesterday's debut. I would just tell people are EAX, please relax. Thank you. Including yesterday, the last 30 rookie quarterbacks to debut in week one in the NFL are five 24 and one straight up. It is a 20% win percentage. That also includes quote unquote generational talents, like Andrew Luck, who threw three picks in a three touchdown loss to the Bears in his debut as a rookie, Trevor Lawrence, who was 28 of 51 with three picks, some garbage time touchdowns after trailing wait for it, 34 to seven in his debut. What about the best rookie quarterback we ever saw last year, CJ Stroud, his opening game, 28 of 44, no touchdowns, no picks, five sacks, 25 to nine loss. Rookie quarterbacks week one debut always look terrible, shot or no shot. There is no reason to be concerned about Caleb shot. There is no reason to be concerned that, look, this kid did not have a good game. Donovan McNabb's first game, 60 yard sack three times Walter Payton eight carries zero yards. That's a bad offensive line. Terrible. But he's Walter Payton, his first game zero yards on eight carries. Never away. Oh, God. What is fourth overall? Well, became the greatest running back in the history of the sport. Some would say the best player ever. So there's no panic. You found a way to win a football game. The only time that there's panic shade is that if it becomes a trend, it's just the first game. Again, if people just helicopter into our show or ESPN Chicago for game week, that's one thing. But we've been talking about this all summer. You know, the reason why that I think that the Bears are a nine and eight football team coming into this is because of the rookie quarterback. There's going to be ups and downs. He's going to have to learn like he was a, I'm sure he learned a lot about what happened yesterday that you cannot hold the ball so long that you cannot go backwards and think that you can escape. There's a lot of things there. You cannot under throw good targets like the Bears have. You got DJ Moore, Keene Allen, Roma Dunes, and Cole Comette on the field at the same time. You got to find a way to connect to them. You do? And so again, if it becomes a trend, now you have concern after the first game? No. Just glad that the Bears won. I would bet you that Caleb was watching that film last night late into the night going through his stuff. Punching clouds. Yes. And about opportunities that were missed by his arm in that offensive line. Great. Shane Norley. Even John Elway. They flashed that during the Seattle Denver game because Bonix was not playing especially well. John Elway was one of eight in his rookie debut. He got benched. He turned the ball over twice. Sure. Honestly, the best thing to take away yesterday, Caleb didn't turn the ball over one time. No question. And most rookie QBs will like Matthew Stafford played last night was a number one pick, his rookie debut, three picks, rookie quarterbacks and week one are pretty much universally bad. I would not overreact to it yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, the Bears won with defense and special teams, completely absent offense scored zero touchdowns, got under three yards per play over the entire game. But shot or no shot. The Bears winning the way they did proved how scary they'll be once the offense clicks. That's a shot. Because of the strength of the defense, Cav, it's what we've talked about a lot. And that is that the secondary is airtight. They're opportunistic. They're ball hawks. They have speed. They can go step for step with many wide receivers in the National Football League. From there, you take a look at the linebackers in defensive line. Again, the defensive line also still not just like a working pro. It's not the best defensive line you find in the NFL, but boy, they're opportunistic. Hats off to Taylor, hats off to Dexter Senior, hats off to TJ Edwards, who had the most tackles on the team. Amen. But if the offense can be able to catch up to what the defense does, you have a complete team. You have a team that could compete for the long haul. What's amazing to me is like our caller Fernando, who he's taken a shot at Eber Flus. Oh, who called the defense? I mean, just. Silence. I mean, come on. I mean, Fernando, that too is just a dumb call. You woke up this morning and just said, let me think of how I can really sound like a jackass on the radio. He chose violence. He did. He chose violence. That's fine. And it's okay, as one of our tweeters said, it's okay to be critical of Caleb. He's a big boy. Yeah. He makes millions of dollars. He would tell you if he was sitting here with us. I was horrible. I've got to be better. And he will be better. Shae. So shot or no shot on that cat bears showed how scary they're going to be once he's better. Shot. That defense came to eat, man. They did not get into this past the 50 in the second half past the 50. Here's Shae Norley. Vailus Jones did some yesterday that I don't think I've ever seen in my life watching football. He not only fumbled the kickoff. He then kicked the ball back to the opposing team like it hit the ground. And he made sure connect with his foot ball goes back to Tennessee and they recover it. After that, the Andre Carter took over as the kick returner gave the bears tremendous field position on his first return. He looked explosive. Every bit as explosive as Vailus Jones shot or no shot. Vailus Jones should probably be done with the bears. That's a no shot being done with the bears. That's a no shot. I think that's taken a step far. This is a step too far. However, I will say this about Vailus Jones. I love that you come prepped. I wish people could see. We mean you're right like like a doctor making a prescription that no one else can read but you can read it. That's the point. Yeah. Like you come in with a yellow pad just filled with info. I love that you do that. We had a bears game, pal. We did. You think I can remember this up upstairs? Absolutely not. I don't know what I do. I carry my little recorder. No. Are you there? The Andre Carter had 67 yards in kick returns, 67 yards. And after Vailus Jones had his opportunity, Carter as Shea mentioned did very well. Here's the one thing that I would say about Vailus Jones. If he's not going to be on special teams, how often are you going to sit Tyler Scott and Roshan Johnson? You know they were inactive yesterday. Yeah. Roshan's been banged up. Not enough to play. Tyler Scott, was he inactive yesterday? He was inactive. It was DeAndre Carter that he missed on the long pass. I said Scott. So but that matters as far as roster composition. No question about it. You sit down good. I mean, there's a number of guys that got toe injuries. And I know that. Like Dominic Robinson was out yesterday, non-injury situation but he was inactive. I'm just saying that Vailus Jones or Tyler Scott, Vailus Jones or Roshan Johnson. That matters. That matters. Because you don't give snaps to Tyler to, you want to give snaps to Vailus Jones and not give it to Roshan Johnson when healthy or Tyler Scott when healthy? No, no, no, I don't think that's, that's why I said to you last break. If you had told polls in Eberflus and I could see the future, you're going to bench Vailus the first game after he fumbles a kick and you won't go back to him. They probably wouldn't have had him on the roster. I'm just saying, like he had, let's see, Vailus Jones had two carries, good for 11 yards. His loss was six. You know, Herbert could have done that if healthy and active. Tyler Scott probably would give you more. Yeah, Herbert ran the ball a little bit yesterday. Roshan Johnson is banged up so he did not play. But yeah, Vailus ran the ball well, two solid carries, caught a pass. You can't fumble a kick or you won't have a job here. If you can't be trusted on special teams and you get the ball just a couple of times in the running game and you're not going to line up as wide receiver, then like I like the speed, but again, it's about time and place. Where is he? Where can he flourish? When we talk to Matt, I want to ask him if we get time, you know, we're so squeezed for time. I want to ask him if we have a chance. What do you do with Vailus? Shane Orley. All right. We heard all off season about the growth of Gervon Dexter at defensive tackle yesterday. We finally got to see some of that a third down sack on a late three and out that really changed the momentum of the game after the bears got the special teams touchdown. Levis comes back out. Gervon Dexter gets the third down sack. That goes with two quarterback hits shot or no shot. If Gervon Dexter can become a serviceable defensive tackle, this is a top five defense. It's a shot that it could be a top five defense, absolutely a shot. They have a lot of dudes on that defense. If you're going to tell me Darryl Taylor is going to be in the backfield and Demarcus Walker who had, what did I tell you, hold on my notes, Demarcus Walker at four, four quarterback hits. If I'm getting that and they're triple teaming the Montez sweat over there. Let's go. Yeah. I think that that I asked you over under 30 sacks and you said over. Yes. For this upcoming season. Yes. Well, he'd be part of it. Again, it's, what did you say, Jay Moore? It's Montez sweat and the drops in the drops. Drips. Yes. Montez sweat and the drips. Yes. Because that's the name guy that's on there. But you get like, I thought that Dexter played well. I thought that a billings played well as a number of guys who really got no question about it. Yeah. I wrote those guys down. I shot it out. Billings, Dexter, Taylor, Demarcus Walker. That does not mean I'm not shouting out sweat, but when he attracts that type of attention, oh, doctor. All stood out in a big way. Yeah. All right. Skeletor to join us will be Maddie.

You missed nothing on this Bears victory Monday here on Chicago's home for sports ESPN 1000 3 1 2 3 3 2 3 7 7 6 our phone number bears to feed the Titans by a score of 24 to 17. We're talking about it and cap when you take a look at the Bears as far as their game plan versus Tennessee's Tennessee's game plan was to be able to run the football to again. They have a young quarterback as well and will love us. I thought that Callahan was wedded to the run cap run the football until they were finally able to break through with a touchdown for Pollard. They ran the football 140 yards for 26 carries. I think the Bears did that initially just with the Andre Swift. They kept feeding them 10 carries for 30 yards end up with 84 yards rushing. But you expect more of a balance I think moving forward. Yeah. And I talked to you on Friday and I said one of my keys is got to run the football and they tried to establish the run. Look if he hits the Keenan Allen pass it doesn't it doesn't get dropped for a touchdown or the Keenan Allen down the left side or DeAndre Carr like those are plays that he's going to make and Keenan's going to make. I just thought it spoke volumes about the culture and Kevin Byer talked about it in the locker room. The culture that they're building in that room to get that thing turned around at half time. All right, here we go with coach Betty Rifflous. Max Eber Flous. Eber Flous. Hey, coach up the Chicago Bears. It was really good. I mean, there was a lot of good situations that we had breaking down the bears and the latest updates and all season all season. You know, there's some really good players on both sides. Can that person function with that? Max Eber Flous with Captain Jayburn on ESPN Chicago. It's the Captain Jayburn morning show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app and coach Eber Flous is on the hotline. Abby Descartes, Tyran on a hotline. Rattle, rattle, thunder, batter, boom, boom, boom. Don't worry about the car accident. Good morning, coach, how are you? Coach, congratulations on the victory. Hey, after reviewing the film, Captain I've been talking about all morning. After reviewing the film, what was your overall view of Sunday's game? I thought it was a good test of resiliency. I thought the guys did a really good job of coming back in the second half, holding together and executing better and doing the things necessary to win the football game. I think it was a great lesson for our football team. Coach, when you watched the film last night and you knew at halftime, we're going to make a couple defensive adjustments and they did not cross the 50 in the second half. They did not score a point in the second half. Your defense forces three big turnovers in the fourth quarter, a strip sack and recovery at two interceptions, one that goes to the house. What adjustments did you guys make defensively to put that type of heat on Will Levis? Yeah, the adjustments we made were just first and foremost, playing with better fundamentals and that sounds easy, but yeah, certainly we made some different calls and did some different things to put us in some advantageous positions, but it's really about the guys focusing on running our defense the right way and they did some really good things. We had three, three and outs in the first half. We gave that long third and long third and 15 that kept that long drive alive, got them down in the red zone in the one area there and then had a penalty, so we had some things that we had some self-inflicted wounds there in the first half a little bit, but we also played some good football. We had three, three and ups and then second half, they came back and did a nice job of just doing basic football well and our guys are ball hawks and they do a good job with that. Kevin Byard talked in the locker room flus and said, "We are changing the culture here." He was addressing the entire team, the coaching staff. I saw Ryan Polls back there and Kevin Warren, it was super cool, but he talked about changing the culture and he said, "There's going to be days offense, it's going to carry us, there's going to be days like today where the defense carries us." Can you just take us inside that room and what that vibe was like when Byard was speaking? Yeah, Kevin's talking about our whole mantra of being one, so B1 means that we're one Chicago football team. We're not offense, we're not defense, we're not special teams, we're the Chicago Bears, so it doesn't really matter what side you are, what position you play, we're all pulling on the same rope and that's what he was referring to. You know, Kev, we were talking about running the football, we just thought that with a Ricky Quarterback in Caleb Williams, running the football was paramount. Coach, what did you think of the running game as far as what you guys want to accomplish because we thought that would be your game plan coming in, getting Caleb comfortable, setting up the run to eventually get the pass down the field? Yeah, I thought when you look at the tape, we had some really good efficient runs. You know, if you look at the runs, we had some, you know, six or seven yards, I thought when we had the game, we were trying to waste some time at the end, what we did at the end of the game, we also had some good efficient runs there too. So again, you just got to avoid the negative plays and that's why the numbers are as good as you'd like it to be, but again, I thought we did some good things. You know what? And we talked about earlier, Kev, Tennessee, the same thing, right? You got Will Levis as a young quarterback, they ran the football. They stay wedded to the run until they finally broke through with a veteran like Pollard, but again, you got two young quarterbacks who want them to get comfortable and both teams ran the football pretty well, I thought, right? Yeah. Yeah, I thought they did. And then I was seeing the second half, we did a really good job of stuffing out the run. I think they had, you know, 0.8 yards or whatever that might be, but it was a good test for our defense. Katie and I were talking about Caleb Williams, look, rookie quarterbacks, we asked regular employees in the world. They started an entry level positions. We asked 22 year old quarterbacks, Hey man, a lot is expected. We're putting the whole city show on your shoulders. What is it like dealing with him after the game? I thought he was great in his interview with Christina Pink and in the podium where he said, I got to be better and I will be better. What is that discussion like with him? It's really just that he's got a positive upbeat attitude, but he's also understanding that he's got to improve and get better every single week. And as I said in the in the post game at the podium, you know, we have to play well around them. And we got to continue to do that, meaning the protection's got to be good. The receivers got to do a great job of running catch. You know, the defense has to play well and special teams, you know, special teams made a lot of nice plays yesterday and packed a place in the game. And so it was good to see as well. Mattie Reflus is the head coach for the Chicago Bears. He joins us. Cap and Jay Hood on the radio home of the Chicago Bears, ESPN 1000. You know, we love cap is we love the unsung hero. We can go through the depth chart coach every morning. We've got the depth chart open. That's going to change. It's just right there. It's one of our tabs on our computer always. And so you see an unsung hero like Taylor coming through, right? He's new to the football team. We know about the defense, you know, backwards and forward, but when you get a guy like Taylor coming in there and what he was able to do to help the football team that I'm sure that that was, that was a lift to the team. Yeah, we were excited to two sacks and a force fumble, which turns into a big turnover at the Titan 30 one. Pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Really good by him. He's got great energy and excellent impactful plays that he had in the game. You know, he just got here. So, you know, we're working hard with them to delay and coaches are working hard in terms of alignment. The same, he's getting that done and what a positive attitude he has. And I would also say, Hardy, Hardy did a great job in the game of special teams, had the block punt, had a really nice tackle on one of the cover teams. So I thought he had a role in practical game as well. Coach, what was it like at halftime because, you know, the fans are not happy as you're leaving the field and, you know, the announcers are like, well, the Chicago doesn't look very bad. What was it like in the room at halftime? Yeah. At halftime, the guys were upbeat, you know, and that's what Katie was referring to at the end of the game. We were just, you know, we just looked at a chance and said, hey, we got this. You know, there's a couple of plays there here and there that happen. You know, we had the valus, the Moffat, the defense just responded well on that kickoff return and holding those guys to a field goal. And so I thought overall it was really positive in there. Correcting mistakes, understand we got this and the guys went out and executed. I'm going to ask you about Caleb Williams, quarterback for the Chicago Bears. You got a chance to go through the tape again. What stood out most about Caleb, the good and the questionable to you? Yeah. I thought I was, like I said, afterward it was a good operation. I mean, I know we had a delay and I call it time, but that's, you know, pretty decent from the first timeout and operation was pretty good. And then really just him, you know, he made some really good throws, had some really good, you know, spot on throws in terms of rhythm and timing, you know, and some of the other things he just got to clean up, you know, he's was off on a couple and he knows that and he's got to start from the ground up and just got to work his footwork. You can see the glimpses though, Cap, right? I mean, there's some elite throws there and it's just like, you know, moving forward, it's only going to get better. Yeah. Like the one he, that was a dime he hit Keenan Allen, who's a six-time pro baller, but he's a human being. It happens. He dropped it. That was a dime right there. Yeah. Like I said, he had some really good passes, you know, he was calm, cool, and collected the whole time. So his demeanor and his disposition was really good and that sucked him and I'll talk about like we talked about it after the game. He'll come in here in about 45 minutes and meet with me, we'll go over the tape and discuss that. Coach, I got to ask you about Vailus Jones. You ran him a couple of times, I think 11 yards on two carries and he caught a pass, but he did fumble a kick and you guys did not go back to him. Your thoughts on Vailus moving forward. Yeah. I thought his response was really good in terms of him coming back in there. Like you said, and being productive for us on offense. And to me, that shows his character and again, we'll evaluate where he is in terms of the kick return game as we discussed this throughout the day and moving forward. How's the injury report? I mean, look, I haven't really, I've gotten preliminary, it looks okay, looks decent. But again, I'll get more of an in-depth report. Once the players report, they're starting to report now and I'll get an in-depth report after that, that's finalize. CMO, Chris Morgan, your old line coach, did use a rotation at right guard and Ryan Bates got the lion's share. I think 38 snaps to 18 for Nate Davis. Can you take us through that evaluation after watching the tape? Yeah, the guys were really rotating there in practice and they both haven't been injured throughout training camp. We thought that was the best way really to get the guys to play at a maximum, you know, in terms of their effort, in terms of their, you know, technique fundamentals because they both were out there in training camp to maximize that position. And then going forward, we're going to look at the tape and see where it is and go from there in terms of rotation or who's in and who's out, who's starting? Okay. We know that Johanna Houston next. So what's, what are you eating in Houston? Like that's, they got great barbecue in Texas, but what are you going after? You've been there before. Oh, yeah. I used to recruit down there when I was back in the zoo. So, you know, back in the day, we just wanted to get a lot of players down from, down from Houston, the way. So yeah, barbecue is unbelievable down there. So I won't have any this time. It's a business trip, but I'm sure they will wind up. Why did we have last night then you had to have something good. Oh, last night afterwards? Yeah. Yeah, I had pizza. You're such a Chicago guy now. You were flus. I mean, this is what happened here. You're digging right into peaches. It's like the rest of us eating pizza after the game. We all did that. Why not? Right. Matt, have a good week of practice and now we'll be looking forward to talking to you next Monday after a hopefully Sunday night football win. All right. Thanks for having me on guys. All right. We'll see you. Mattie, we're flus the head coach for the Chicago Bears. And the car wrecks, tire, and auto hodler. Captain Jay Hood on the home of the Bears, ESPN 1000. Captain Jay Hood are back and you know this man Chicago's home for sports ESPN Chicago. Captain Jay Hood weekday morning seven to 10 here on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. You heard from Mattie, but flu, so let's get your reaction to it. The coach had to say at three one, two, three, three, two, three, seven, seven, six. We go around the NFL at eight fifty also. We talked to Lance Briggs all time great bear great. We will talk to him coming up at nine thirty five Lance Briggs will stop by and join us to talk more about the Bears victory against the Titans on the lakefront three one, two, three, three, two, three, seven, six, our phone number was the most about our conversation with flus. So I think he felt really good about how his veteran players Kevin Bayard and Tremaine Edmonds and all of these dudes. Mercedes was all addressed the team at halftime or got to Caleb or got to somebody and let's we're fine. We're good. Wasn't like they were thirty eight to nothing down. It was seventeen three and they got a they got the next possession. So they had back to back possessions and had a chance. They didn't score offensively but they did block a punt. I think those are the things he felt best about when he said, yeah, we were we're okay off the injury report. I would love to know why are you not great. Who's tweaked? Keenan Allen look like he limped a little bit in the back of the end zone. I don't know if that was an ankle or what. So I'm sure we'll find out in the next day or so he speaks today. We'll find out. All right. Let's go to the phone lines to talk to you three one two three three two three seven seven seven six is our phone number Justin and Dallas Texas listening on the SP in Chicago app joins us on cap and Jhood. Hey Justin, good morning. Morning gentlemen. How are you all doing? Doing well. Awesome. Hope all is well. All is well. It's a victory Monday. Overall, I think I'm glad we got the W. I wish Kayla Williams could have got those two throw bros back that he kind of overthrew, but I know he'll get that cleaned up. The defense was stellar as usual. Special teams was good. I just had one question. Was it me or I know the cold commit wasn't targeted that much it seemed like he was quiet yesterday. Yeah, you had one catch for four yards. That was it. Whole offense was quiet. Yeah. Yeah. But like I said, we get that cleaned up because next week is going to be a tough half, but I think that we could be Houston and if we beat Houston, that's going to say a lot. So yeah, I'm overall happy with the win. Yeah, it was a just and have a great week. Look, you found a way to win a football game. That's it. You go back to work, you feel so much worse if you lost that game. Like the Bengals lost to the freaking Patriots as an eight and a half point favorite, a team that believes they're going to the Super Bowl. You're just joining us. There's a reason why that cap rings that game up out of nowhere. I had have been survivor. I still how many times as I stand here and say, takes you out, don't take sensey. Hey man, cap listens to only one man and that is the voice that is in his head. That's all he listens to. It's fine though, cap. I wish that you would be able to continue on through 18 weeks and be able to win that thing, be in the money. That was my wish. That was my hope for you. Yeah, I'm in the other Vegas contest that didn't go out well either. Who taught you the freaking cowboys are good. Take that. Jimmy in McKendrick, I mean, out of nowhere, I mean, what a fraud. The Browns are horrible. Jimmy and McKendrick on cap and Jhood. Hey, Jimmy. Good morning. What's going on fellas? Good morning. You know, everybody talks. Kevin Williams came into the best situation with the number one pick. Everybody knew he was going to have struggles. Now we would hope they weren't as big as they were yesterday, but here, the best situation in the league defensively, at least this point, came through for him. You know, I've been a bear stand for 36 years. You don't really know what an excellent offense is, but we have a defense. So let's just pick on the positive here for a week and see if they turn it around. Yeah, let's just let him clean up the stuff. Take a deep breath. All right. I got my first game done. We won. All right. Yeah. That's it. That's it. You know, it's so funny. Jimmy about this. What you just said is that Will Lovers had more costly mistakes than Caleb Williams. Yeah. Here. Caleb Williams did not lose us the game. Did he play good? Absolutely not. But he didn't lose us the game. You know what he did? Did do Jimmy, though, I thought late in the fourth quarter when they needed to get a field goal on third and whatever, he could have easily thrown that ball into the lake. And they would have been out of field goal range and he scrambled for six or seven yards and it got Cairo Santos's shot. No question. It's a it's a it's a good call. You're appreciative phone call. Jimmy. Absolutely. It's after one game. Now going back to the running game conversation, it matters cap. Sorry. I'm a bears meatball that likes the meat and potatoes. I like my meat and potatoes running the football. I like a good offensive line that that's that's who that's how we were raised with good running games and be able to set the, you know, do the run to set up the pass cap. I had to be that guy, but I'm going to tell you something. The Andre Swift had nine carries for 10 yards. If you take away that one 20 yard run, running game has to be on point two now. It does. I told you they have a great front for in Houston, the Tavondre sweat is 366. He's a freaking monster. Jeffrey Simmons and Harold Landry, all those guys. You got to be better. The offensive line has to be better. The run game has to be better and Caleb has to be better. And if you can't use valus Jones back there on kicks, I don't know if you can keep him on the roster. I don't know. I said it to you earlier. I don't know how you keep a guy who, look, we want him back there to return kickoffs. Fumble. All right, get him out of there. What do you clean up with that? You worked on this all off season in training camp. Now we're going to clean it up again. I don't know how you can keep him. If you can't use him back there, ask you a question, sir. When you're part of a coaching staff and you're on the road, don't you sample the fair that's in that city? You're in Houston. You know that that's where you get your barbecue, your Texas barbecue, your chicken, all that. Hebrew flu says it's a business trip. He's not having any of it. I mean, our coach is so nervous, like, yeah, not the players eat. I'm in film. I'm going to eat popcorn, drink water. No. So he will eat whatever they put at the team meals. Yeah. So they'll fly in Saturday morning, they'll have a walkthrough, they'll have their meetings, they'll have food is always available for them. Yep. And whatever they put up, there could be some Texas barbecue on the training table. Oh, yeah. They'll be steaks, burgers and pastas and whatever it is, high end. He's not leaving the hotel. Yeah. He literally, team playing lands, escort to the hotel. And he's into his work and then get up, eat the team breakfast to the stadium, back on the plane, gone. Yeah. So Malnati's gets, my wife's company gets, I think of the 31 other NFL teams that come in here over the years, I think it's like 27 of them order Malnati's pizzas that are in the locker room or on the bus to the airport. They have a meal on the plane on wherever they're flying to, like the 49ers. But like the head of the dolphins is a Chicago guy. Yeah. So he'll have like a, like a medium pizza for each guy on their seat on the bus. There you go. And they'll take care of it, boy. Correct. And knock it out. Correct. So they do sample some of the fare. Yeah. But you were flu said it's a business trip. He won't deal with any of it. Correct. Like the players can go out. Yeah. But it just, being around a basketball team, usually you go to one of these cities and you just get whatever the high end stuff is, the best in burgers and steaks. And you know, it's going to be a bunch of that for the players, but the coaches. No laptop. That's it. Look. That's it. Are you all meeting the meeting, the film, the film to get some sleep, get up, eat breakfast, go play the game. Let's go. Philly Mike. What's up, brother? Good morning. Gentlemen. Thanks for taking my call. Where have you been? Philly Mike. What the hell? I know I have. It's been a while, man. I miss you guys. I'm not on the road anymore. I got a different job. So I'm in the shop now. All right. Okay. So I just want to say cap. I want you to write this down. Take a picture. All right. Hold on. Philly. I'm writing it down. Philly and Chicago and NFC Championship and Philadelphia probably, but that's I'm writing it down my knife. We stay healthy. It looks like it looks like that's what it's going to be. And that defense is so scary in Chicago right now. Caleb had a rookie first game. No turnovers. That's great. I mean, the kid's going to be the answer, I, your bear stands out there, man. They're a little clouded, if you know what I mean, but other than that, I can't wait for the season, man. The Eagles look good. The bears look good. Stay healthy. We'll see you in that NFC Championship. Yeah. The only way you're going to beat us is if it's a Brazil, looks like you got the leg up on teams in Brazil. That's it. That's it. All right, Mike. All right, Philly. Thanks, man. Around the NFL, next on cap and Jhood. Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention? I've just been handed an urgent news story and Jhood are back. Cannonball. I'm just a fan and I'm not a football evaluate. I love the Green Bay Packers. All right, I got four pretty big overreactions for you. I'm trying to restrain myself. I don't want to overreact to things that I think will change. Namely, rookie quarterback performances. All three of them were dreadful, like Bonix was bad, Caleb was bad, Jayden Daniels was bad. It is what it is. Rookie quarterbacks week one debuts historically terrible, so I'm not going to overreact to any of that. I'm going to stick to things that I think will not change. Starting with, to Sean Watson is professionally dead, enough, done. If you're the Cleveland Browns, put in James Winston, this dude blows. He is totally cooked product. He is a bad guy. He will not improve. The arm strength's gone. He doesn't see the field. He doesn't read plays anymore. Just because he's a sunk cost doesn't mean it's going to change. Correct the error, replace him, put James Winston in. You can't take a guy making, dude, his cap at the next two years is 72 million. Tell the Broncos. The Broncos paid the money to get Russell Wilson out. Players up. Cleveland should do the same. You have big difference, 80 million and a guy who's owed a hundred and seventy eight or whatever. That's up. Hey, guess what? Mr. Haslam, we're going to have you eat all that money. Love the brother next to you. You know what? She's going to end up being right. Oh, eventually you can't do it after one game. You can't. We talked about the last week. I said, this might be the worst contract that we have ever seen. You, when heaven and earth, you turn water in the wine to get Watson on the football team and you paid for his legal issues. All that money guaranteed. And for what? He's not good, Cap. Three number one picks and more. I talked to our boy Rizz, Tony Rizzo from the really big show in Cleveland yesterday. And I said, can Cleveland lose this game? He goes, can they? He said, the quarterbacks fact he's out of shape. He said, and he's not that good. It's a horrible, horrible decision to trade for him. He said, I think they win the game tight. I ended up. I said, I'm betting the Cowboys and they got bold out and the worst. The worst part is Dak wasn't good. The Cowboys offense wasn't good. You just sucked worse. All right. What's the next one? 30-some point. Relax. Thank God. Brandon Arbery can drill 50 plus, 66 McCarthy should have let him go from 71 after the delay. There's lots in that. Did you see that? He got to see that. He made the 66 and the five-yard penalty replay the down. And I'm like, kick a 71. He made it by five yards. That would have both the record all time, right? 71. 66 is the record. Justin Tucker. Poor Tom Dempsey. All right. Go right ahead. A new candidate for first coach fired has entered the chat. Antonio Pierce can be an epic motivator and perfect rate or all he wants. Hoodie. Holy fourth quarter down four on fourth and one from the opposing 43 yard line. Paunt. Bill Barnwell. Great. The last 64 opportunities that such a thing happened, 63 of them, they went for it. It's an inexcusable decision. Down four, fourth and one, that far into plus territory. You cannot punt. If he's going to make decisions like that, he'll be on the couch by week 10. Oh my god. I'm not firing him in his first year. I can't believe he's saying he's saying he's saying he's saying he's saying he's saying no. First year is the head coach. He was the interim last year and the team went to ownership and said, that's the do we want to play for. No, that's fine. I think he's an excellent motivator. I think he's a perfect raider. If he's going to make brain dead decisions like that consistently, bye. How about that? Not even the ball. Yeah. Okay. Brother Pierce. Yeah. Get out. Brother. Always trying to push us out. Brother. Brother Tomlin just keeps winning. He does. Finds away. He does. He's done. He's about brother bowls. Brother. Got a second chance. Tampa beat the living breaks off of the commander. That Tampa offense might be really good. Do you see his wife? He was incredible. His wife Emily did a great interview and she said he was devastated when they let him go in Cleveland because that was his team. He was the guy picked number one. She said I've never seen him happier in a better space and we love what's going on here in Tampa. We're touchdowns, man. Almost 300 yards. It's good for him. Sometimes you get change address. Yep. He changed the address and looking pretty good, kid. You think the Browns are looking a little longingly at Baker Mayfield right now? 100% going. Oh God. He'd be a dope with a Browns helmet on if he was with that outfit. He's better in Tampa with brother bowls. Here's Shane Norlin. Get out of there, just two quarterback over reactions and then we'll move on. What is that? Hoodie, the first quarterback over reaction, Bryce Young wasn't just bad. He was unplayable. It looked like he hasn't grown at all and I do not mean physically. He does not see the field. He's missing wide open receivers by five, ten yards on horrible overthrows. He just doesn't have it. Nope. I think for the next 17 weeks you bet against Carolina. That's not getting better. I thought they would come out and look better. I like that coach, Baker Mayfield, talked longingly about that guy who resurrected my career. I'm like, all right, maybe he'll fix Bryce. Not so much. Yeah. He turns sideways. He'll see him in the shower. Wow. That's a slight. I mean, just saying. The more you think about it, hey, their ineptness to take Bryce Young over C.D.A. Stroud. Okay. Horrible. What Brian Paul's extracted from them literally was a robbery. Arm robbery. Fleecing. Bryce Young plays at his size. Caleb's going to play at six foot. It's not having the ball deflected. You're not a little guy. Shane? Correct. Wow. I'm just saying. One and seven eights act like it. Hey, man. Stop throwing it low. Hey, man. You got to have a little arc on the on the football. You're not. He's never had. He's never had those problems in his life. What was going on? I know that front four is really good, but sweet mother, but play like a six one. Clean back. Good and purest Tommy. What I would say. Let's go. Shane. Just quickly. Josh Allen yesterday, down 10 nothing early to Arizona. Effort. I'll do it myself for total touchdowns, diving over the offensive line, running all over the field. I told you preseason. I believe it even more now. He's the MVP of the league in 2024. He understands this is all on him. Dax win in the MVP cut the the audience feed in Buffalo one of the two quarterbacks was good yesterday. Captain. Wasn't it? Guess what? His team won. Also, and he won. They want comfortably. He wasn't horrible. See what Jay Moore did. He's got a Buffalo feed there. I think WJR. He's got to pot it up there. So anytime we say someone good about Josh Allen, there's the audience jumping in. That's right. And his wrist is fine. That's right. Jay Moore. How do you know, Jay Moore? Coming up next, we talk about Josh Allen used that wrist a little bit yesterday, like last night, maybe. Oh, Jay Moore. Apparently. I was fine. Boy, it's fine. It's all good. This wrist is fine. It's all good, baby. It's good. Popcorn trick. I know. It's wrist. All good. Ah, we had known the good old popcorn trick, Jay Moore. We understand. Mmm. His wrist is fine. There we go. Touchdown. Touchdown. Touchdown. Touchdown. Coming up in two minutes, we talk about the bears on a bear's victory Monday as they beat the Titans right here on Chicago's home for sports. Excuse me.
