However, as we get to talk about this game, there's something on the line here. Not that the Cubs are trying to get to the playoffs. I mean, that's one thing, but there's something else that's on the line here with this Cubs team between you and Norlin. So, Norlin was crowing and they're done, they're up the track, they're this, they're that and I said, "They can get the 86 wins by my math." And Shay said, "Okay, good luck. They get the 86 wins. I'll buy you the most expensive steak at Chicago Cut." Well, by my math, I'm right on track to get there. May fall game short, may get a game over. Dorny took two of two from the Dodgers, got a chance to sweep the series tonight. But by my math, I had to get two wins between the Yankee series and the Dodgers series. We're now at three wins. Got a chance to get the four. And so, the good question is, do I want them to get the, like, if I said 85, but they make the playoffs, or 86, no playoffs, but I get dinner from Norlin? Fortunately, I can buy my own steak, so I take the playoffs. But if you told me 86 wins and we don't get the playoffs, we fell short, but I get a big steak and wine and the whole deal from that dude, all in. Let's go. So, this morning with the Cubs victory against the Dodgers, the Cubs this morning are officially 75 and 70 on the season. But cap, still, before you even knew Shay Norlin, you knew the Cubs, because you're a Cubs fan. It's a team that means the most to you in Chicago. Let's just be honest. Don't you think that the playoffs are more important than trying to get money from a poor producer, one of the pours, and Shay Norlin? No, he ran his mouth. You cannot write checks that your body can't cash. That's high end steak, you know. He brought it up, not me. I'm just going, "What do you want if they do it?" He said, "Okay, they win 86 games. I'll buy you the biggest steak in Chicago." No, the most expensive steak. What do they need to do at that point, Kaplan? 22 and 8? Yes. And so far they've never wanted 10 and 2 since that moment. I mean, I might have stepped in something. It is what it is. If I got to take my friend Kaplan out to dinner, it is what it is. I'm a little nervous that it's going to have to happen now, and I don't know if my wallet can handle that night that evening. My wife's going to be a little upset. Honey, a lot of ramen noodles. I got to take Kaplan to Chicago Cubs. First of all, how many weekend chefs do you need to pick up to try to make up for that? A lot. But hang on a second. How long have you worked here? Three years almost? You don't know me well enough to call me Kaplan. Ah, David. Don't call me Dave. Damn. I hate Dave. That's understood. Damn. Yep, understood. Kaplan. What did he say, man? What did he say? What did he call you? Right? What did he call you? Birdsteep. Oh. Hey, get one good, my friends. I would just say, Cap, I mean, you want to see the team make the playoffs. Don't you, the Cubs? Oh, absolutely. Look, I love all our Chicago teams. Obviously, I'm more Cubs than White Sox. I love the Bears. I love the Bulls. I love the Blackhawks. And for all teams that have the word Chicago on their chest, my late father taught me that. It took me a long time to mature enough to get to this level. I'm immature. I get it. But let me tell you something. If we don't make the playoffs and they have to bring that check in the little envelope, you know, holder and slide it over to Norlin? Oh, doctor. Let's go. We love Chicago cut steakhouse, but my God, that is that tie in. He said the most expensive steak. That's words, not mine. That was the balls on the table moment and I slightly regret it. I'm going to be honest. I'm getting nervous. Well, I'll tell you that more than likely you'll have to pay for that steak. I don't know about the playoffs for the Cubs, but they're playing good baseball because any time that you can go into Chavez ravine and beat the Dodgers twice, they're on a nice role here, Captain. Again, I told you about a, I don't know, three weeks ago, I said too little too late. This is very reminiscent of last year where the Cubs were just as short of being able to get to the playoffs because they had rallied late because of how they were just so mediocre earlier in the season, just like last year. Now they're on a nice role. Can they be able to get there? We're going to find out. I don't think they will, but I want to tell you something about this game yesterday in which the Cubs win 63. First of all, amazing how baseball has been able to evolve. Here's four attractions for you. There is Otani who went 0 for 4. There is Suzuki for the Cubs. There's Imunaga who is would be number three on my Rookie of the Year list. If it wasn't for Skeens and Jackson out there in San Diego, there's no question Imunaga would be the Rookie of the Year. And you've got Yamamoto who hasn't pitched since June out there. Look how the game has evolved. You have four Japanese players out there that are stars or guys that are definitely Yamamoto on the come playing in that game yesterday. So that tells you how the game has evolved. It's pretty good. From there, you've got, you've got a guy. You have Pico Armstrong cap. He's a guy. He made catches out there yesterday against the Dodgers that many cannot make. There's been five great plays so far this season for PCA that we have seen in the outfield. He has just been tremendous. Speed kills, man. Speed kills. Look what he did yesterday to save the Cubs in that ball game. Going over the wall, going at the wall, jumping up and being able to rob a home run, then this kind of just flicks the glove. Backhanded catch at the wall also. A lot of guys can't make that play but he did yesterday. It was tremendous. Defensive saving game for the Cubs and Pete Crowe Armstrong. Pretty strong. The catch that he made on the track from and believe it was an Otani blast. I think he thought it was going farther and he's getting ready to jump and he's like, "Oh God, that's coming up short." And he slid down on one knee. Backhanded it with his, he's a lefty and you see Cody Bellinger burst out laughing like how cool it was. But the one to end the game with that Jackaloon fan trying to reach over to catch it. Who's been all over Sports Center this morning and he ends up going to the wall, Pete Crowe, right in front of him, grabs it and then kind of cradles it and turns to Cody. Cody starts laughing again like, "What is with this dude?" High fly ball out towards right center field. Pete Crowe Armstrong at the wall, jump high and he made the catch. "Oh baby!" Pete Crowe Armstrong steals the holder from Max Muncie and Knack is how this one comes to an end. Same Max Muncie had a home run the 5th off of Eminaga and robs him of a second home run, which was amazing. And Tommy Edmond hit, I believe his first two of the year, both last night. Yeah, just a little nuts and bolts on Eminaga against Edmond watching that cap. So Eminaga's the guy that pitches on the corners, he's Bob Ross, right? But also he's a high ball hitter, I'm sorry, a high ball pitcher. Edmond is a high ball hitter, bam, so long everybody, he got it twice. So I mean, I think that was a great matchup for Edmond, but again, the Cubs find a way to survive in this game, scoring 5 in the 8th. Also in this game, the Dodgers did something I haven't seen all season. I think I see a good amount of Dodgers baseball before I go to bed. It's 9 o'clock. You are the guy. I'm taking a look. I've never told my wife, I'm exhausted, I gave her a bed. She's like, "But the game's still on." This was two nights ago, I said, "I guarantee you, hoodies up." He watches Dodgers and Padres stuff all the time. Bad inning. Mariners. You don't have three errors. I think that's the sloppy bed of Dodgers. Sloppy baseball. Yeah, Shay was probably sitting there, you know, all excited in the 8th. Oh, they got this one put away. Oh, 5 runs. Here we go. Horrible defense by the Dodgers. And then the Cubs, where they have failed too often is you need a big hit and a big spot, and then there's Nico Horner rattling one down on the left field corner. Yeah. Peacock Armstrong was at 184 or 185. And everyone's like, "I don't know. Send him back down." All he does is defensive. He's all the way up to 245. Yeah. He raised his average like 60 some points. You got a guy, Cap. And I asked you this before about Peacock Armstrong because for as good as his defense is, I was wondering, like, where is he going to be in the lineup? Because, like, next year, he's in the strong lineup. There's no doubt. You don't take him out, Cap. That's your center fielder. Eighth? It's not like you got to murder his row that you can push him down to eighth. I'm just wondering, like, in your mind's eye, do you see Peacock higher in the lineup as an on-base percentage guy? Because that speed's great at the bottom of the lineup or the top. But eighth? Yeah. You think that he's going to be eighth when we start the season next year? No, I think he will move up. Higher in the lineup? Two? Maybe. You like that speed at the top of the lineup? Oh, man. Yeah. That's old school. 'Cause, you know, the new thing is that the George Springer's and the guys that hit like a Harper 1-2 because analytics say, "Why wouldn't you want your best hitter to get the most at bats?" Forget having to have a little flea at the top of the lineup, and then a guy who's got good bag control and he could butt at two trying to get somebody open. That's not how the game's played anymore. So I think he'll be higher. I will tell you this. I know he makes $177 million. Dan's be Swanson should be hitting ninth or eighth. That's how he's hit this year. He's been better lately. Oh, for five yesterday. Yeah. Solid defender, gold glove caliber, great dude, good leader in the room, all that. Offensively, he's been horrific this year. Horrific. Yeah. So it was an interesting shave back and forth this game. There's a lot of stories to this game yesterday. Like the Cubs cannot hit Yamamoto at all. He was only supposed to go three innings. He went four. He struck out eight like, "Oh, it's one of those games for the Cubs. Oh, man. Eight strikeouts through four." And then the eighth happened, and then the defense happened. And then you got some starting pitching from Imunaga. It all came together. It was an interesting up and down for the Cubs yesterday, watching that game. That is correct. It was an interesting up and down, but in the end, I was tired and getting ready to go to sleep. I had to do the football show with Waddle and Olin last. I'm like, all right, three to one in this game. They're not coming back. Oh, God, here we go. Did you turn it off? No, no. I mean, honestly, I didn't watch 9/15 first pitch a little late for my blood. I got to get up early in the morning. It starts off like 35 years younger than me. What do you mean a little late for your blood? I'm up. I wake up at 3.30. Okay, I wake up at 4.24. That's when my alarm went off. That's a whole bonus hour. I was just making the point. It was 3.1 score when I'm falling asleep. Yeah, I'm not turning that on. I'm going to bed. And I woke up this morning, and I looked at the score, and I saw the stories, and I started to sweat. Yeah. Hoodie, is there a way? Do you think it's fair? All the sports books have the cash out option? Uh-huh. Is there a way that I can hedge my wager with Kaplan? I don't think Cap has a button. I don't think that you can hear the cash out button. You know what it says? Like draft cash outs suspended. Like, I buy your lunch today, and we call it a wash. No shot. You're hitting that button, and it's like blacked out. Cash out. Can I cash out? Suspended. Please help me, sir. I'm getting nervous. Think of my poor wife who's going to be eating ramen noodles for two weeks, so I can pay for this dinner at Chicago Cut. Well, you're young. You can take care of it, correct. Uber eats. I'm sure they're hiring. Oh my God. Wow. Damn. Memo to David Flom. Get the camus ready. Oh, wow. That's the high end stuff there, Brian. Is that secret menu? I don't even know what that is. Oh. Cap knows. I know. Oh, boy. Oh, doctor. No, no. No, thank you, sir, but the other menu, the other menu. Oh, you want the other menu? Yes. Yes. Oh, God. I do, hoodie. I do need you as a neutral party to adjudicate something of this wager. Oh, now he needs me. Go ahead. Just as, because I thought, I thought Kaplan was out of line the other day. Kaplan walks in here, strolls in with all this swagger after a cub's victory, talking about I'm in a order every appetite. Every appetizer. I'm going to get a bottle of wine. I'm going to get an extra cocktail. I'm going to get dessert. I didn't say I was paying for the entire check. I said I would buy you the most expensive steak on the menu. All that extra stuff, that's an add-on. That's not a part of this. No, when you say I'm taking you from the most expensive steak, it's the meal that you're paying for. Hood. Hood neutral party. I'm going to take a glass of water and a steak. Okay, well, any time that he says the most expensive steak cap, I mean, he's talking about the steak. Now, he didn't mention apps unless you're going to say, can I have the app and the steak together? I mean, but, but I understand, Shay, you're saying that you're willing to pay for the biggest steak, but not dessert and not drinks and everything else around it. Because if you would have said, I'll, you know, I'll take you for the most expensive dinner. Exactly. I didn't say Kaplan, I'll take you to dinner. I said Kaplan, I'll buy you the most expensive steak at Chicago Cut. Not, I'm going to go take out for a meal. And we're going to do calamari and a bottle of wine and old fashions, the most expensive steak. After cap is done getting that most expensive steak, you're going to wish it was dessert and apps. Because cap would have given you a break. We would have got the burger. Let me tell you something about my partner. That guy can eat. I'm just telling you, like, it's healthy, but he can eat. I've been with him. He can take it down now. There's no question. So you probably would have wished that you said, all right, you know, because he would get a side, a healthy side, some vegetables. That would have got the broccoli. Yes. He would have got the vegetables. Yeah. He would have got, he would have let you loose on a decent sized steak. But since you're going through all this, man, he's going for it all. David, get the waggoo in. No. Mindy, David this steak. No more to you. Get the Japanese imported waggoo. Yeah. He'll take it down. And why don't you fly it private? We're going to put the cow on a Learjet? That's it. It's a high-priced one. I get the Concorde to land in here. I will. Why don't you do some pricing here? Because I know how much that costs. I don't think they do. So, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, ESPN, 3, 3, 2, 3, 7, 7, 6, our phone number. So, should Shay have to buy the entire dinner or just the steak in this Cubs bet? And again, the Cubs are 75 and 70, Cap. Still alive. Still alive. I need 11 more. Let's go. They've got three this weekend with the Rockies. Wins. You're definitely winning that series. We think. They're horrible. But we'll see. One batter, one pitch, one out at a time. We've got four with Washington in Chicago. They're horrible. We've got three with the Reds in Chicago. Pretty good, kid. We do have to play three at the Phillies. Yep. That's tough. That's tough. And you say Oakland? You got Oakland too. Three with Oakland here. That's two out of three or the sweep. It's Imanago, Wicks, and Assad. I would like your chances very much so. As the A's play out the string as you're on a way to Sacramento. Wow. Yeah. It's very likely, Cap. Very likely. Look at the schedule. Yeah. Rockies, A's. Davy Martinez is Washington. That'll be all. And Reds. Got a shot here. It's very likely. Yeah. You're going to put him at the poorhouse. Today's what we call Shea a gravy game. And I don't put gravy on my steak. But if you sweep the Dodgers, oh my goodness. I just needed one each from the Yankees and Dodgers. I've already got three. Is that a two? Cap, hang on a second. I just want to just take a look at something here. There was a receipt here that I have from Chicago. Oh my God. Oh my God. Cap. That guy's not going to make rent next month. You want to see? There's a hostel down here somewhere. He was. I mean, that's so good. Wow. I forgot. I'm going to get the new ski bacon appetizer. That's my receipt. Mike, what are we doing to me here? That's Jay Moore's receipt. Wow. And we need to have the best steak there. Oh, man. What is the Cuban missile? Well, that sounds amazing. Well, that's private. That was after the meal. Wow. How about that? Maybe as an aside to my steak, the Tristan Tails. Oh, the Tristan Tails. Oh, and dessert. I like the mint Oreo ice cream pie. Might have to go with the chocolate ganache cake with a little vanilla creme brulee. Oh my God. And can I get a double cappuccino, please? Oh, we're going to get there. How many more shows can you do with Tyler to make up for that? Three, one, two, three, three. Oh, Norway's on one to four in the morning. Yeah. She's going to call Tyler. She's going to call that. What's up? I'm going to need some extra money. Please help me. What's up? You better handicap your ass off this weekend. I'm kidding, dude. I got to get a couple parlays. Oh, doctor. It's not good. So how should this work? Should Shay have to pay for the entire meal or just the steak in this bet for the Cubs? Cubs are 75 and 70. We're talking about it on the cap and jay good morning show. Excuse me. I just say it in all the... The cap and jay hood are back. Appreciate you guys. I listened to you streaming on the ESPN 1000 app. Chicago's home for sports. The ESPN Chicago. It's hoping that you're going to have a great Wednesday. It's a waddle Wednesday on the cap and jay hood morning show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. So, here it is. It is the Chicago Cubs cap with the victory against the Dodgers. We stayed up so in case people didn't want to. That's why we're here. Staying up watching West Coast baseball, especially with the Cubs. Cubs win by the score of 63. They're now 75 and 70 on the season. But the bet is on, right? Between you and Shay Norling. That is correct. He mocked me, you know, like Sylvie mocked me the other night. Of course, I don't hear anything from Sylvie when they win. Not a freaking peep. But when they lose, I get the text at 11 o'clock or 10 o'clock at night from Sylvie. Still alive like mocking me. Yes. But. Now they've taken too straight from the Dodgers. The Mets lost and we're four back. I'm not telling you they're getting there. I'm telling you it's fun to watch every night and I'm going to miss baseball when it's gone here in a few weeks. But let me tell you something. Still alive. Win only 85 games or when 86 games have missed the playoffs. But he still has to buy a steak. Right. I'd rather make the playoffs. I can buy my own steak. To quote Dave Portnoy. I'm sitting on a pile of money to buy the steak. Isn't that what he said yesterday? All right. Kaplan skills. Talk to you 3 1 2 3 3 2 ESPN as our phone number. You can call me. Cab, you can call me David. Call me. Hey, Dave. Oh, I'm sorry. David and hoodie. Ken and Aurora Colorado. We got to do the official introduction again because you're just a disembodied voice otherwise. Ken and Aurora Colorado listening on the ESPN Chicago app joins us on cap and Jhood. Good morning, Ken. Good morning, guys. Hey, first things first cap. I think this is in the bag for you. But I'll say over said was he was going to do was buy you the most expensive steak there. When I tell my friends, I'm going to buy him dinner. I buy them dinner. If I say I'm going to buy him a sandwich, I buy him a sandwich. I think you're as well with everything else personally, my friend. No. When you say I'm going to buy you the most expensive steak, it's implied and understood. And you're buying me a meal. Oh, no. It is not clear. I'm not walking in going. Yeah, I'll take the bone in filet. Can you give me a little bit of the chart crust on it and a water? That's how it works. You can get whatever you want. It's just I'll pay the steak portion and we'll split the rest of the bill. It's a bad. All right, Ken. Bad take care. That's a bad take care. Back to the full lines we go. Joey G and Melrose park on cap and Jhood. Hey, Joey. Good morning. Good morning gentlemen. How are you? Well, thank you. What do you think of all this? Well, I can't space you without a hook because that's exactly what Chase said. I'm going to buy you the most expensive steak. Correct. No trimmings. No, they're not like Thanksgiving. That's your question. When I had lunch with you at Chickies, you said I'm going to buy you lunch. You said I'm going to buy you the best beef sandwich at Chickies. You put me on the floor and pay. I did pay, but you were going to pay and you weren't going to go. Yeah, you can't have fries and you can't have a drink. No, you would buy me my meal. Come on, Joey. You're better. I was there for God will cut a month ago. Three of us. Yep. Six bills. Yeah. Three of us. Yeah. Chickies was 40 bucks. Yeah, but guess what? He shouldn't write checks that his body can't cash with his mouth. He shouldn't write checks with his mouth that his body can't cash. Joey, we appreciate the phone call. Here's Joey. Well, I don't know. Your cap is 100% right here. What kind of meaning that goes to eat only the steak? Of course, it's implied that he gets the whole meal. Thank you. Check out the cap how far he wants to take that. And I'm sure he's a good guy. He'll probably leave the tip. There you go. There you go. That's odd, Joe. Odd phrasing, but okay. Oh, come on. Just a tip, just for a second. Okay. All right. All right. Well. People collide. Jesse. This is done to start to do with you. Sometimes you got to. Well, three, one, two, three, two, three, seven, seven, six, our phone number. What is just a steak? Just sitting there without some kind of trimmings around it. Right. It's lonely. Just sitting there. Just steak. I'll take your order. Yeah, I'll take the bone in filet. That's it. Sides? Yeah. Nope. Just a steak. Okay. Would you like a cocktail? Just a steak. No. Nobody got that. I just said we're good. I'll pay for the steak portion and we'll split the rest. No. There was no portion. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. All I said was I'll pay for the steak. I never said I was going to buy a whole meal. Bottom of the wine you come in here talking about, a bottle of wine. I'm buying a glass. It's most expensive glass. Top top of the line. They're cheapest. Bottom shelf. Do you have the King Louis? I'll take home. Yeah. Whatever comes in a box. That's the glass that can order. Mog and David. Yeah. Exactly. Yes. That's what it is. Gallo. Give me a box of Gallo. Oh my God. Nothing like the box wine. Flom and Matt, the two owners, they've got what a wine collection. Oh my God. Oh, I've seen it. You went to dinner there with me? Oh yeah. Me, you, Keishan, and Jay Williams, and Keith Williams. I've been there. Was Danny there? Danny was there. Yeah. Danny was there. High end. High end. What a night there. Oh, that was a great night. We had security guarding the table. Remember? That is true. I remember sitting with Jay Will. You can tell me. It's still in the virtues of how important the ESPN Houston market is to that show. 3-1-2-3-3-2-3-2-3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our telephone number. We'll take more of your phone calls also. We have five burning questions for the Chicago Bears. What can we expect from the Bears in our match against the Texans? Find out as we keep your company here until 10. Captain Jay Hood, weekday mornings 7 to 10. Checkmate 1-6 and we have suppression on target. That's why we see him in my shot. Shot or no shot with Captain Jay Hood on ESPN 1000 and ESPN Chicago app. That's why we see him in my shot. Good morning and welcome in to the Captain Jay Hood Morning Show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. With David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you, now in time for Shutter No Shot. On a waddle Wednesday, here's Norlin. Good morning Hood Kaplan. How are we feeling on a waddle Wednesday? We're good, Norlin. Moore, how are you doing, man? Good, baby. Good, baby. See, he's so cool. Baby. Baby. Do you know a cap like that? I do. Moore does. It is one of the most ridiculous things in social media. Folks, you can be able to Google it yourself. It's something else. It is unbelievable. It's something else. Waddle will join us coming up at 835 on a waddle Wednesday. Sorry. What is happening? Nothing, Norlin. Let's go. Hey, listen. You can call me Shay or you can call me Snorboard. Don't call me Norlin. Norlin. Norlin. Norlin. Norlin. Five dollars, by the way. I don't have any cat. I do have cat. Buying to the audience again. That's five dollars. I mean, that's fine. Right in the coffers, please. Right there. Right for charity. You got it. We turn now to Shay Norlin with Shara No-Sha. Shay. Yeah, I'm going to start with the play calling disparity for the Bears on Sunday. I was looking at the snap count. And 33 designed passes. Almost two thirds of their play calls were designed passes. I thought this would be more pass than run offensively over the full season. I didn't think we'd ever see a disparity that much. Granted, you're down 17 nothing. You kind of get put in known passing downs by the game script. However, the passes were not successful and they totally abandoned the run game. It felt like in the second half. So shot or no shot in Houston on Sunday night. You need to see the Bears remain committed to the running game. Well, that's a shot. But what we saw in the preseason, I think it's a microcosm we got to see this season. How did Gino get better as a quarterback with Seattle under Shane Waldron? They threw the football. They did, but they ran it too with Kenneth Walker. They ran it, established it. Then they used Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalfe and Will Disli and all these guys. Yeah, there's going to be more. We saw this not even with Caleb who saw it with the Beigeant. The ball's out. They're trying to get the ball down the field and try to get yardage. They're trying to get penalties, get those PIs so they can keep the ball going down the field. I would like for them to run the football more. We already talked about it with the many reflues on Monday. Like I know that they wanted to run the ball, but if it wasn't for the 20 yard run by Swift, it was still kind of pedestrian. Numbers wise, in which I think the bear should have ran the football more. But early in the game, Swift ripped off six yards. Then he got one yard. Then he got six more and you went away from it. Like why? Offensive coordinators get bored. They do. They get cute. Now here's a difference, right? I'm not saying that this is who Shane Waldron is. I was just talking about the game plan that we saw on Sunday. Got bored with it. You know who's that bored with it? Detroit. They'll ram it down your throats to a victory against the Rams on Sunday. How about that overtime possession? We're steamroller. You get out of our way. Damn. Me and potatoes football, black and blue football. I love David Montgomery. They kept giving him the football cap. They kept feeding him. You know what? They're not stopping us with it. Four yards here, six yards here, first down. Four yards here, three yards here, four yards there. They kept doing it. They did. Just like Tennessee did, they stayed wedded to the run. Old man Callahan said, "Eventually we'll break through. Keep running the ball." He tried to get out of 11's hands. Keep running and it broke through for a while. Right. So, you know, I mean, they're like their coach. Brian Callahan is dad. Yeah. I mean his son, he said, "We would have just punted every possession of the second half. We win the game." That's fine. I'm gonna direct shot it. We'll love it. That's... That'd be like Danny same. We just wouldn't have turned the mics on and just had a home going over the air. We'd have been better than you guys. What? Here's Shane Arley. Radio Losers. Oh, thank you. Oh, wow. I want to stick with Shane Waldron just for a moment because the play calling people are mad about. I'm more confused by the personnel decisions. Particularly a third and four where Travis Homer and Gerald Everett were on the field while Cole Clement and DJ Moore were on the sideline. I thought that was bizarre. Shot or no shot, the personnel decisions are more concerning than the play calling. That's a no shot. It's the first game. You try to figure out how you can win a football game. That's a no shot. If it becomes a theme, then that's a shot cap. Maybe players might be bell yaking like, "Hey, I should have had more touches. Hey, I should..." Every player says that. However, again, we talked about it. Once again, he's a new offensive coordinator with a lot of new weapons. He has to learn, Cap. Don't disagree about it. That's all. You said no shot. I'm going to go shot. How would that H is Gerald Everett getting significantly more reps than Cole Clement? Then Cole Clement. You know the answer to that question. I don't even know why you asked. Yeah, because this guy, he knows him. He's been with him. They were together in Seattle. Was Everett in Seattle? I know he's with the Chargers, but they have history together. I think with the Rams, it was with the Rams. They have history together. But guess what? Cole Clement makes $14 million a year. Gerald Everett was a signee this winter to a much smaller deal. The guys you're paying play your best guys. We know that. You think Waldron knows that? He just got here. That's why I don't put all the emphasis on one game. If we have this as a shot or no shot in week six, now we have a beef. It's his first game. Like Caleb's first game, like Everett's first game. It's the first game, Cap. I don't use that as, well, this is who he is. Just wait. I know he's asking the question today. And I say it's a no shot because week one is not a trend. Week six doing the same thing as a trend. Here's Norley. Fair. All right. The Bears held some tryouts at Hallis Hall this week. They worked out eight players, four of whom were wide receivers with kick return experience. This comes after Vailas Jones was relegated in the return game Sunday on a fumbled kickoff. Shot or no shot. Trying out receivers is a shot across the bow at Vailas Jones. That is a shot. But here's the thing, Cap. It's not personal. It's business. We know Ryan Polls would do whatever it takes to try to make the roster the best it can be. He's still tinkering looking at like, I like our team, but still every day. Every day. And they also have to run guys through the building. That's what they do on their off day because heaven forbid. What if one of your, they had a quarterback in yesterday? Not because they want to replace somebody. What if one of your quarterbacks gets hurt? You don't want to have to bring someone in then to give him a try. You want to go, all right, we already worked that guy out. We'd like to him sign him right now before someone else does. You're running guys through the building. Whoop, they ran into a secretary. Them are your lawsuit. Oh, wow. You're bringing guys through the building for a workout and meetings so you can evaluate them in case you need them in the future. They got to wait room for that. Why work out there in the lobby? That makes no sense, Cap. Do you know what you're talking about? I don't understand. Look hood. Come on, man. Hood. I don't care. It doesn't bother me. All right. So, um, but he's always going to do his due diligence, Cap. Ryan Pols. That's what he's doing. Oh, yeah. And he keeps his big board of emergency. Oh, God. Who went down? All right. Call that guy. Shae, would you have cut him before the season? I probably would have, yeah. I didn't buy what they were selling on hard knocks, that he's super explosive, that he could be a game changer. We've never seen it. It's just funny when I look at this depth chart. Shae, you know I look at this every morning, right? It's one of the tabs I have open. It is a laundry list. Look at this cap. I mean, we know the running backs are there, but I mean, it's the longest list on the roster of running backs. All the way across there. Swift, Homer, Herbert, Jones, and Roshan Johnson. Yeah, and Johnson's all the way at the bottom because he's not healthy. He's banged up. That's, that's the biggest, that's the biggest room in the building, the running back room. Is there enough seats in there? They have to get a bigger room. We use the conference room. We need the running backs. Too many of them. Holy cow. Concar running backs. A lot of them. Woodvail is Jones in it as well. He's in that, in that room as well. The depth chart, by the way, and I don't think it's correct, is he got Swift, Homer, Herbert, Homer second. No shot. Swift, Homer, they love Travis Homer. Understand. He can get the second most snaps though. That's gotta be Herbert. No, Herbert didn't. I'm gonna say I'm saying moving forward. I would think Homer's gonna get him. I don't think they're all in on Khalil Herbert. I don't. So I guess there was a deal that they couldn't make then, right? If they were going, because if they're not all in, they would say we like Swift, Homer, and Roshan Johnson. Right. If you, yeah, I would say they would go Swift, Roshan Johnson, Homer is the way they'd like it. But until Roshan's healthy, they're like, all right, whatever. We're good. That was not on hard knocks, by the way, about Khalil Herbert. Clearly, if there was a deal to be made, you think they would have dealt him. Yeah, nobody was offering anything. Yeah. And right. What do you see on film? There's too many, like, it's like. Limited. Carmen York have always said the most overvalued thing could be the running back. Yeah. But there's so many of them out there on the street that they're, all right, he's not available. Take that one. That's it. Shake. Netflix revealed they will be releasing an Aaron Rodgers documentary detailing his recovery during the Achilles injury. It has what I think is a wildly pretentious title. Aaron Rodgers, colon enigma that will release in December on Netflix. The definition of enigma is a person that is mysterious, puzzling or difficult to understand. Does that sound like Aaron Rodgers? Shut or no shot. Aaron Rodgers is an enigma. Mysterious, puzzling, and what? Difficult to understand. That's what he's definitely mysterious. He's definitely to some people, puzzling. I don't know if he's difficult to understand. I don't know if I put that category with him. Is he mysterious? He goes on McAfee the 17 times a year and tells you every thought that pops into his brain. Does anybody goes into a cave and just goes away for a while? That is strange. Yeah. Or when they go do ayahuasca or he talked about doing acid down in where Mexico or Costa Rica with his friends. Yeah, he's mysterious. All hundred percent. Just the whole thing, Shay. I mean, you don't know anybody and I don't know anybody that just goes away on a retreat just for a while at a cave and comes out and decides whether he's going to retire or not. I don't know if I tell anybody that, but he does. He's very open with that. Yeah, I'm going to watch this. I'll be all locked in on this. I can't wait to see it. Let me know how it goes because I have zero interest. It's Aaron Rodgers after all. It's the same. I'm not going to watch this. Okay. Just give us a report on Aaron Rodgers. When does it drop? December 17th, I believe, is the day. Mark on the days off. Oh, come on. Oh, shit. Maybe I can get a preview copy as a member of the media. This is his college football 25. This is his video game. He's taking the day off to watch the three episodes. Yes. Yeah. College football. What is it? The video game college football 25. I way watch, rather watch Aaron Rodgers documentary than that. But yeah, I'm going to watch. You're going to take off? The 17th of December? Yeah. Danny, I need the day, but I'll do a book report for the class. Book report. It's a video. It's it's expression, Shay. Jeez. Norling. Appling. Come on. You don't know him like that. I don't think you should call him. Yeah, he doesn't. Okay. Coming up, we will have around the NFL the power rankings for Shay Norling and don't forget to Waddle Wednesday. We talked to Tommy coming up at 835. Captain Jay Hood on ESPN 1000 and also on our YouTube channel. Follow Chicago's home for sports on Twitch at ESPN 1000 Chicago. Captain Jay Hood are back on Chicago's home for sports. ESPN Chicago. It both sucks. It sucks. I'm just a fan. I'm not a football evaluator. I love the Green Bay Packers. The guy is front, but there he goes. This is not Detroit man. This is the Super Bowl. I love winning. He starts the comedy. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's the answer you're looking for on these things here. It is time to go around the NFL right here on the Captain Jay Hood Morning Show on a ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. I'd like to remind you to go to YouTube, YouTube.com. The free ESPN Chicago hit that subscribe button as well as on Twitch. Twitch.tv/ESP and what the album Chicago. We go around the NFL. Here's Shane Orling. Yeah, Wednesday. That means it's power rankings day. We have some movement, not in the top five, but in the other five slots in the 10 ranked teams dropping out of the power rankings is where I want to start. Four teams from last week tumbled their way right on out of the top 10. We're in the NBA in a loss falls out of the top 10. Not really because they looked so bad, but because Jordan loves her. Can't rank you. Sorry. Brother. If he comes back and he's healthy, they'll make their way back in. But for now, they're out. And who's this backup? Malik Willis apparently is the starter. If Jordan Love can't get medically cleared, that will not go well. Love the brother next to you. All right. Green Bay tumbles out. Since an Addie tumbles out of the power rankings after a disgusting loss to New England. The New York Jets. Okay. They tumble on out and the fourth team to fall out of the top 10. The Baltimore Ravens. Oh, that's so bad. Can I explain why? No, nor like that's bad. Oh my God. This was a difficult decision for me because they lost by a toenail. But here's your problem. If they're going to run Lamar 15, 16 times a game, he's not going to make it to week 10. That offense is not sustainable. Great. You lost weight and you're quick. He took a ton of hits. He carried the ball more than Derek Henry. Why'd you sign him? Like that worries me. That is not a sustainable model of offense. Bill Polian joins us on Captain Jehood. Bill, how are you? No, it's not even a shot. He's effective. He's running back. He can run the ball. I'm just making the point. He's going to carry it 15 times. He's your starting quarterback. You can't let him take hits like that. The brother. Love the brother next to you. We understand, Che. Once again, Polian jumps, huh? What is the other Iberfus Cup that he plays back there all the time? Dragon Slayer. Dragon Slayer. That's it. Right? We got some good stuff for him. Love the brother next to you. We got to play some of that for Iberfus. Not after a loss. Oh, God. But when he comes out with this, go coach. I know you're all about ball. But guess what? We have some fun with you, man. Let's not do that. I'm going to. You can't. I had the board. You're going to move that machine over. Yeah. Good luck. Be wired. Yeah. Then the studio will be broken for a week. Yeah. You put that out there. He'll be on at 3.15 next week. Wow. Here's Shane Arley. All right. At number 10, moving up in the rankings from unranked last week. You're going to get mad at me. The Indianapolis Colts. Anthony Richardson. You know what? Was awesome in delivering deep balls. I believed in him in this offseason. I believed in the Colts. Narrow loss at home to Houston. But what they have looks good. Shane Steichen is the play caller. I think it only gets better from here. And frankly, it was tough going beyond 10 teams. A lot of good teams lost. And a lot of bad teams just looked really bad. He's still giving the Colts. He's still keeping the light on for the Colts. Still believe Richardson will be a guy. That way he made the other day was for me the best player of the week. It was incredible. But again, those are just glimpses. Glimpses. Okay. Shane pretends like you didn't see it with Florida. Like I did. I was out on it. But I was out on Justin Herbert at Oregon too. And I was wrong on that. I was wrong on Herbert. And by the way, Herbert is, you can might as well just close the gate on Herbert. They're running the football. Keep your arm in your pocket. We're on the football. We're on the football. We're on the football first. We're on the football second. That's how Harbaugh likes to do it. And you know what? That was vintage Michigan football because they did not run the ball successfully at all for three quarters. But they stuck with it and ended up punching Vegas in the face in the fourth. That's what, that's what you got to see from Harbaugh all season. Because that's what he does, Cap. He likes the old school. That's the way he was raised. That's why he drafted Joe Alt. He's got bookend tackles later and all. Let's go. Run left. Right. That's the way he does it. Yeah. Colts. And then nine. Nine Tampa Bay. I was really impressed with their offense. Baker throwing four touchdowns. The wide receivers they have. They have a lot of talent up front. Tristan Worfs on that offensive line. They looked really good. Number eight, Shay. Number eight is the Miami Dolphins who came back against Jacksonville. Tyree kill 80 yard touchdown. Mike McDaniel calling that offense among the best play callers in the league. I'm a little concerned with what went down in the first half, but coming back in the second half and pitching a shutout against Trevor Lawrence and the Jags, that was good. I'll take it for Miami. Amazing what happens when you have adversity. Hours before the game. Now, by the way, when I have my touchdown and I'm going to score touchdown, a waddle. Arrest me in the end zone. Exactly. Like, that's really calling your shot. Like, yeah, I'm going to get a touchdown. Don't forget the touchdown dance now. Our little thing we're going to do. You're getting, oh, yeah, I'm scoring. You will? Oh, yeah. And when I score, I want you to put me in cuffs and call me by my last name. There's got to be something, Cap. Bad Dolphins team. Can they win in the playoffs? I believe they could be a playoff team this year. What are they going to do when they get there? Because the talent's there. They have talent. That's for sure. Colts, Tampa, Dolphins, and then? It's seven moving up from unranked to the Dallas Cowboys. They'd be higher, but I was not really impressed with Dak. Brandon Aubrey bailed them out of a lot of unsuccessful short fields. Dak could be a recipe for success this season. I don't know. I'm a little wary of banking on a team with a kicker to just kick field goals and win games. If the Browns had had any competency at all in their offense, that would have been closer. The Steelers like to have a word, by the way. God, speaking of which. I'm talking about just kicking field goals in that move of the ball. And got it done. Let me tell you something. Dak is going to be one of the finalists for MVP. So relax in their spot. It would be better than he was on Sunday. It just hasn't aside. The Falcons are not in the top 10, but did you see the numbers on Kirk Cousins? I did. It was the least he's moved on dropbacks by over a full yard in his career. His average movement on dropbacks was like 3.7 yards, which basically means he's doing the five step drop and it's stopping perfect statue. He's uncomfortable. His Achilles is still bothering him. He can't move. That is an actual problem for Atlanta. This is going to be OK for Atlanta though, Cap, because they're going to be at the Eagles and I guess the Chiefs next. Yeah. Could be just fine. Enjoy. Oh, and three. Wow. Again, this show had them in the playoffs, and it still could happen. I'm just saying the start, the Steelers game, they need the Steelers game. They should have beat the Steelers at home at Mercedes-Benz. That's ridiculous. That's a lose. That's a joke. But you lost. And now it's going to be at the Eagles against the Chiefs. So long, everybody. Thanks for coming. Have a good day. Oh, and three. All right. Maybe they'll shock the world, honey. Maybe they'll shock the world. Maybe Dallas 7-6. The Philadelphia Eagles move up three spots from nine last week to six. Impressive win. The bizarre Friday night neutral sight in Brazil. Jalen Hertz wasn't great for the majority of the game. But they found a way. I like the idea that football games were playing at football stadiums. That whole thing in Brazil, by the way, Shea, Cap, J-Moor, was nonsense. First of all, the Friday night game was almost like a rogue game. It's like, you're not supposed to be seeing it. It's on a Friday night. The video and audio wasn't great. It was a little grainy at times in Brazil. And this idea that you're going to have the best athletes in the world play on that surface is nonsense. It was just dumb. Poorly contrived really was. And I would bet you that fact I'm already hearing. The Players Association is going to say to Goodell, you want us to cooperate on certain things and help you with certain things? We want no substandard fields, period. No rugby game, no soccer game five days before. We need a nice clean surface, a playable surface. So we're not ripping up our knees and stuff on this nonsense because you got us in this country in which we can't even go outside. Can't even kick it in Brazil. That's correct. Ridiculous. You want to grow the game. You'll never be the NBA NFL. I know you want to be the global game. That's basketball. You know why it works? It's indoors, correct. Weather isn't a factor. The courts are all the same. Number five, Shea. Number five, the Buffalo Bills. No movement. Four total touchdowns for Josh Allen. I'm asking him to cover a touchdown against Arizona was always going to be difficult in the opening week. They managed to win that game. It was a backdoor cover for Arizona that could have won by multiple scores. It doesn't bother me. Buffalo stays at five. Johnny, were you sweating that out a little bit? Arizona was a good lead early and then Josh Allen just took the game over. Nah, it was good. You don't understand what that looked like early though. That was not good. Early, it was there. No one has history. We always got a shot. Bears fan, Josh Allen fan. That's right. You got to love it. That's it. Allen said, "You know what? I don't need dicks. I'll just helicopter my way into the end zone." I will do it myself. That was what was so impressive about that game to me though. They got down early and a lot of times we've seen the Bills get down like that and fooled. And Josh Allen, a kind of different version of himself, said, "I'm doing this myself. I'm going back to what I do well. I'm running the football. James Cook, you want touchdown? Sorry, I'm running them in." Now, we talk about primetime football. Can't put a good match up on Amazon. Buffalo, Miami Thursday. Can't wait. Very good. Let's go. Very good game. Tells a great story. They'll be all banged up and everything because the NFL doesn't care about safety and all that. They do care about money. But the point is though, that Buffalo, Miami on the surface, that should be a fantastic game for Al Michaels to call. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that game. What do we have Friday, Norlin? No Friday game. I know. Sad. Yeah. Yeah. It was a Friday game every week now. Oh, I take it. Second. I think that the NFL did some funky there where it's like we can stream the games on Fridays, but I don't think the networks wanted to have a Friday night game. So the law. Is that the law? Yeah. Well, Congress has a law to protect high school and college football on Fridays. After, I think it's the 8th of September. It's the second Saturday or something. I can't do it. That's the reason why Friday night. So they're out now. They can't try. Don't you say Tommy? Don't you say Pakistan? What's that? No, I said Obecistan. Obecistan. I don't know. I was just making up a country. I was just saying that Friday is still going to have a game. What channel is that on Tommy? Oh, that's something you can pay $15 a game for, for sure. Yeah, for sure. It's on 2B. Yeah. Reagan's Raiders in Belarus. Yes. There you go. In some way, Waddle will get himself in to do the post game for that. The Bears and the Packers will meet in Belarus at 1am. And it only is going to cost you $49.99 to watch. And guess what? Love it. And guess what, Tommy? That draws a 40 share. I'd do there. I'd do there. A 40 share, Tommy. No question. So Bill's 5 and then 4. 4 is the used in Texans. No change from last week. They won a tight one divisional game in Indianapolis. Impressive win. Bears on Sunday night. Next one. Detroit at 3, again. No change. But the overtime win. Punching the Rams in the face. Living on their offensive line. Impressive. Stay at 3. 2. San Francisco. No change. And they stay right at 2 after beating the brakes off the Jets. And at 1 where they will be until they give me a reason not to do it is the Kansas City Chiefs. Oh, they're amazing. Good job, Bears. Oh, big apart Kansas City, yeah. They're incredible. How about how about just a team, Tommy, that will just stay wedded to the run. Detroit says, you know, and I've been zone cap. They won't come. He might not be the best running back in the NFL, but he gives a damn. Well, you know what, Jonathan, as well? Like, I was a great decision by their offense coordinator Ben Johnson because at that point, look, I don't think starters are capable of playing 60 minutes in week one to begin with. But when you go into overtime as well, you have to understand that the other team is probably a little gas, you may be as well. But if you're dictating policy, yeah, I thought it. It was a really was it eight plays and seven of them were runs. Oh, my God. It was a beauty. It was a thing of beauty. If you like smash my football. Yeah. Especially if you had a same game parley and all you needed was David Montgomery in the end. Don't pollute the beauty of the greatest game on the planet. Oh, if they didn't have gambling, the ratings would be in half. I didn't say that cap. I'm saying in this particular moment, you tied it to gambling and it didn't matter. And it didn't need the tide of gambling for all of us. Oh, it just felt like, you know, a good glass of wine going down in the hood cave. You know, I'm going to start doing Tommy is just take the HD out of the TV when I watch the Chargers and Alliance and just take me back to a good day. Rub a little bit of dirt on your TV screen. Just a standard death. And I know cap you hate Jim Harbaugh's approach to things. I get it. He runs a football. Hold on. I don't like the word hate. We take that out. Except the Cardinals. Ronald, you don't know him well enough to say he hates anything. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, that's weird too. I don't have enough energy. Thanks, Bernstein Jay. I'm just saying like every time Jim, I just didn't like how he comported himself all the nonsense last year. Every time you think that he's not going to win, he wins. Yeah. Like, would they have won first down in the first half or something crazy like that? They wouldn't end up winning by 12 points. And still running the football. It just hits the best. I mean, Justin Herbert ends up being like the Maytag repairman. Yeah. Well, that's what you're going to have. You bring Greg Roman in to run a, you know, basically a running offense with a quarterback that has been paid 250 million. Jim's like, I don't care. I don't care. I'm going to run a ball. That's the best. I enjoy it a lot. All right. It's a Waddle Wednesday. We'll talk more with Tommy. Coming up next on Captain Jay Hood.
