9/16 Kap & J. Hood Shorts
This is your morning routine, listen to respect my name. Cap and G hood. That's right, that's right, we bad, uh-uh. Watch the show on Twitch, follow ESPN1000Chicago, stream the show on the ESPN Chicago app, and on in there. 100.3 HD2, and on ESPN1000Chicago, no, no, no, no. David Kaplan and Jonathan Hood. Good morning, everyone. This is PAIRS Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday. Here comes the flow out, looping in front, giving in pressure at Snack, and down he goes. I'm third down to Marcus Walker in company. Bring the heats. I'm the stunt. Snack to Stroud, looking in a tight pocket, ripped up a jet sandboard, lays the hammer down. Here's the snap, plate fake, good protection, throwing the slant, I'm a dime, making the catch down near the 25-yard line, Caleb Williams, rifle down to DJ Moore, snap is back. Oh, snap, in trouble, and down he goes. Sacked out of play, they were mugging up front with Tremaine Edmonds, and TJ Edwards and the Bears bring Stroud down a sack. Williams brings a man in Auburn motion, read option, handing off, and to the two to the end zone for the touchdown, touchdown Bears. Here comes the flow, flow. Right here on the home of the Bears, ESPN-1000, you heard the Bears and their loss against the Houston Texans, 19-13, and we're talking about it right here on this Bears Monday. Welcome in, along with David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you, we've got Jay, we've got Jay Moore, we've got you. Here for the three-hour ride, thanks so much for being with us, what up in full lines for your 3-1-2, 3-3-2, ESPN, 3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our telephone number, the Bears are 1-1, losing to the Houston Texans yesterday, and cap this Bears Monday for me feels like many Bears Mondays, where the defense is good enough to help the Bears win, and the offensive line in the quarterback was substandard, another loss because of the efficiencies. Through two games, the Bears have totaled 353 yards, averaging just three yards per play. That just won't be good enough for any team in the National Football League, including the Chicago Bears. Hoodie, I was very disappointed in what transpired last night, and yet the Bears had the ball in their hands with a chance to win the football game on the road in the final moments. They had time to get it done, unfortunately, they're going to get their young quarterback murdered. They're going to get him killed. I'm sure he is banged up this morning, but that's part of being an NFL quarterback, but what we watched last night was so ridiculously bad from the offensive line that I don't know how you fix it. There's no o-line tree out there that you go, "Yeah, let me pluck a left tackle or a right guard or whatever you need." He was pressured on 36, Caleb was, 36 of 37 pass attempts, let me say that again. He was under pressure on 36 of 37 pass attempts. No clean pockets, pressured on 36 of 44 dropbacks, which is a historically high 81.8%. He was sacked seven times. He got pounded. I mean literally pounded. So, for everyone out there, "Well, I don't know the kid through two intercept." He was under siege all night, and you're going to have to figure out that the fascination with Gerald Everett being in there needs to end pretty quickly. If you're going to go two tight ends, Cole Komet, Mercedes-Louis, try and run the ball downhill and try and stay running between the tackles because they had zero chance running outside. There's a lot of things to unpack with this bear's team, but the bottom line is that the offensive line cap could not handle the pressure and they folded like a bunch of patio chairs. That's what happened out there. The weakest unit on the football team showed up again. This eventually is going to get better because it's just the first couple of games of the season, but the point is, though, is that on top of the offensive line, that being good, that means that Caleb Williams is hurried. It's funny when he wasn't blitzed, he was 20 for 25, 159 yards in interception. But here, you have Ryan's, the head coach for the Texans and that team led a credit. They cranked the pressure up on the rookie quarterback and an offensive line that couldn't do anything about it. Just think about it. You're sacked seven times. That's why I feel like this bear's Monday is like a lot of bear's Mondays that we've stood here and talked about Justin Fields and we talked about Jake Cutler and we talked about Mitch Trabisky because the offensive line is substandard. When you see good teams with a good offensive line, it's because they're tenured cap because they've been together for a long time. They're an iron gate. This thing here is the worst thing that the bears have going for them right now. As much as we can give credit to the secondary and the linebackers and the defense for keeping the bears into the ballgame, on the flip side is a quarterback that thought he could hold the ball as long as he could to try to make plays to try to stretch and make plays. On top of that, an offensive line that couldn't hold their water. This is a bad recipe, but it's not unexpected to me. Rookie quarterback, worst unit on the team, and you get that. That's what you got yesterday. All valid. All valid points. So look, I wanted them to get Roma Dunes as much as anybody. But when you don't prioritize your offensive line and adding Ryan Bates for a fifth round pick or a reject named Coleman Shelton, who the Rams said, that'll be all get out. And you pay him $3 million, which is tip money in the National Football League. The good centers are making 15 or more. That's what they make. You get what you pay for. Hmm. This car only cost me $7,800 over at car max. Why doesn't it go faster and look better? Because it was $7,800 at car max. It wasn't. I'd like to go to the Lamborghini store and buy one of those. Yeah, that's 250, 300 grand. That's what we did when you get the receiver and you go trade picks to get another receiver. And you go sign a running back. And they're all valid people that you need to have on your team. You don't put enough into your offensive line. And that will be a major problem going forward. If they can't figure out how to get it on F quickly, you can't get your 4,000 yard quarterback. You can't get your 11 wins when you have an offensive line like this. Correct. You're just not going to get it, Cap. I mean, and we looked at the schedule before the season and said, OK, the Bears are not going to play a team within the division until mid November. Every team is tough to a rookie quarterback. Every team's going to bring it. We compared the Tennessee Titans and their pass rush to the Texans. Oh, the Texans is not as tough as the Tennessee Titans, we thought. And then you saw what happened. See, it's all tough for Caleb Williams. It's all tough for this offensive line. We can look at the ratings and we can look at the players, Cap, on the opposition. But if the formula is to crank up the pressure on the rookie quarterback, teams are going to do that. And what's the offensive line going to do about it? We talked about how there were keys to this game for the Bears to be able to win. The number one key that we had is to be able to run the football. And again, another week where the Bears 71 yards rushing on 22 carries, they continue to run into a wall that wall, not the defense, it's the offensive line. So you're running into two levels of a wall, an offensive line that doesn't open up enough holes for you. And then with DeAndre Swift, who we talked about as a veteran, has been there, even a guy like him can't run through a wall, 14 carries, 18 yards. The guy that had the most rushes or the five from 44, the longest was 24 and that was Caleb Williams. He had the most yards rushing and his long was 24. So if you can't run the football cap and you have a timing issue with your receivers and the offensive line doesn't give you enough time to throw, then how are you going to win football games? They'll be really, really tough. Okay. Really, really tough. All valid. What we talked about like, yes, they do have DJ Moore, who had 53 receiving yards on six carries and Roma Dunes, they playing hurt and cold commits out there and DeAndre Carter now part of the mix. Whole thing is though, that's enough weapons to win. How do you give them the football? When do you give them the football? A lot of this was intermediate and trying to run the football. A lot of nickel dime, they did not, they cannot open up the offense enough for Caleb Williams to get it the ball down the field to his weapons. A lot of this is real in tight, isn't it? It is. 5, 10, 15 yards max. A lot of these plays offensively. Yeah, buddy, my text me, can't we take some shots down the field? Explain to me how you're going to do that. How you, you can't protect your quarterback, gave me nightmares of the Cleveland game, adjusted debut. Remember when he got sacked nine times with a bad game plan that they can't protect? Horrible. Horrible. David Carr. Remember David Carr? I do. That's the one pick of the Texans way back in 2002, I believe. David Carr tweeted after the game, he said, "In this stadium as well, it's giving me flashbacks, but I'd add Caleb's protection schemes are being exposed as well." That's a bad combination. That's on the coaching staff. Okay. It's on all of it. It's on all of it. When you have an offensive line, there's that poor cap, it's on all of it. I know that we can slice up the blame pie and say, "Why did the Bears lose?" The thing was so frustrating though about it, before I talk about Shane Waldron, is that the score was 1913. Why did it feel like it was 28-7? It did because they were under siege all night. Damn. All night. The game's in the balance, but still, it did, it never felt like it was in the balance. Was that your TV too? Was that just mine? That was both of our TVs. It was terrible. I'll say this. I'll get to it in a little bit with you, but there were so many other things that have to get cleaned up. I mean, fall starts and just... Man, look. I get reams of notes here that I know everyone else who stayed up late and is tired going to work today said, "Preach, I mean, you've got to clean some of this nonsense up besides the blocking stuff." Yeah, on discipline. On discipline. Yeah. Terrible. Yeah. And the defense? Proud of them. What an effort. They gave you a chance to win the football game. You got the ball back. You had time and in the end, you can't protect your guy. Same Bears Mondays that we've been accustomed to for a long time around here. Correct. This does enough to keep you in the ball game in the offense, it's flat as a pancake. This is what we're talking about. Nikko Collins had a hell of a ball game against the Bears. What a player. One guy, though. One guy. We stopped the run pretty well, 75 yards on 22 carries for the Houston Texans. Oh, they're shutting down. Yeah. So, but one guy. One guy, Collins. And when you only allow three points in the second half, you should be able to win that football game. No question. The Bears even know the game was right there for them. They just could not find a way to get into the to the end zone. Enough. Again, no touchdowns from the receivers. Killel Herbert able to get in with a little bit of a, you know, a quick hand off to him for a touchdown. But Capette, that this has to be able to get better. And here's the thing. It has to be internal. As easy for us to say, well, let's go to free agency. Who's on the scrap heap? Nope. They're on the scrap heap for a reason. Because they can't play. Correct. I said to you guys this morning, is David Bakhtiari want to come out of? He didn't announce his retirement, but he's been banged up. I mean, they're not much sitting at home. They're just isn't. And no team in the league is going to go, oh, you want to trade for our right guard? Yeah. Give me a seventh round pit. No. You're going to have to scrub every practice squad and see who's out there. Bates is on injured reserve. Nate Davis looks disinterested, which is embarrassing. The whole offensive line. You've got to prioritize getting a center this winter. You have to. I don't care what it costs. If you don't have an anchor in the middle of your line, you're done. 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, ESPN, 3, 3, 2, 3, 7, 7, 6 is our phone number. If you're on hold, you will be on the years. We talked to you on this Bears Monday as the Bears lose 19 to 13 coming up. You'll hear from Matt. He refused to head coach for the Bears. He's going to be with us at 9 40, but he had to address the press after the game as well. This was a total loss on the coaching staff, on the players and everything that happened on Sunday, especially with all the undisciplined nature of the players. What about the coaching staff? We'll get into that coming up next on a Bears Monday with Captain J. Hood. This is Cap and J. Hood. They beat in the traffic commute, so you don't have to. [MUSIC] DJ Stroud looking at second and nine in the gun to his left is mixed and snapped to Stroud, looking in a tight pocket, ripped up, and Jeff Sandborn lays the hammer down, puts him down, never got a chance to escape. The Sandman, put him asleep. >> Jack Sandborn, welcome to the NFL season. As the Bears, they lose to the Houston Texans, 19 to 13. Right here in the home of the Bears, ESPN 1000, Cap and J. Hood. And to remind you, we got shot in no shot coming away at eight o'clock. Matt, he refused to head coach for the Bears coming up with us in our third hour of the show today. >> One thing that we do have to say, so people, Mel, this day we're having to run silent count all night long because of the noise in the building. So you could see Nate Davis tapping the center because you can't hear if you're making an adjustment, it makes it tough. That's why road games usually favor the home team. Despite all of that, you had a chance to win the football game. You'd give your guy some time, like if he was made bad throws, I would tell you. Like I had a clean pocket, he had plenty of time and he just didn't deliver the football. My God, every single time he dropped back, it was like, I gotta get it out. And even calls were set 2.37, 2.47, like the ball was getting out. When you gave him any modicum of time, the ball was delivered. But in the end, for people that just grabbed their coffee and didn't hear this stat again, 36 of 37 pass attempts, he was under pressure. He was pressured 36 of his 44 dropbacks, which is historically high, 81.8%. Sacked seven times, hit a billion more. The most egregious, the numbers, Braxton Jones allowed two pressures, didn't allow a snack, but sack, but three hurries. Coleman Shelton allowed four pressures, a sack, and three hurries. Darnell Wright, two pressures, a sack and a hit, and a hurry. And Nate Davis, two pressures, no sacks, but he looked clueless. Did he not? He did. He looked clueless to me. He did. The Texans generated 12 pressures and five sacks when blitzing. Now his captain's laid out for you when Caleb Williams had time for 25, good for 159 yards in interception. But just understand that this is a major problem, but also would just bother him to me. Cap is the undisciplined nature of the Chicago Bears. Look, you're gonna lose games. I think you and I both thought that the Bears would lose this game against the Texans because the Texans were a playoff team, more than likely to be a playoff team this year. They're a step above the Chicago Bears as they try to figure out who they are. But I think the undisciplined nature also was an issue on on top of that cap, not just on the field, but also upstairs for the Bears coaching staff, upstairs. The idea that you fall short twice on challenge flags shows an undisciplined nature. How do you how do you fail on that twice? Matt Ira Fus explains the process. Yeah, we have a good process for that. You know, so it's a little bit different when you can't see the monitor right away. And it's a critical play, like a third down or a takeaway. So we do put a little bit more weight on those, but we have a great process. I mean, we've been pretty clean overall, you know, since we've been here. And again, those were just situations where we didn't get a great look at it and there were critical bounds. And you know, so we made a decision to do it and it didn't work out that time. It's the process cap that if Kylo Gordon just gets pissed and demands for a replay, that's is that the process he's talking about? Is that the process he's talking about? Because that's exactly what we saw on the on the game yesterday. I texted you guys that look like he got, um, Kylo was so emphatic. He wasn't even in position when the ball was about to be snapped. Did you see that? Like he was in the middle of the field yelling. So undisciplined cap. That's undisciplined. I get the emotion. I get all of it. The second one, and I agree with you, he, the ball hit the ground clearly, but it was a pick six. They're going to take a shot because their offense can't move the ball. Okay. The first one had zero chance. That was the fastest review in the history of reviews. Correct. They said that the Chicago is challenging the catch. What? What do we do it here? And they came back and the first words out of Tareco's mouth were, yeah, that calls been confirmed. What? Yeah. Already? Like 32 seconds and done. I think we all, many of us saw it at first blush. The first time we saw it. Yes. And he said we didn't get a good look at it. Well, then you need new monitors up there and you got to get freaking Ray Charles out of your headset. The guy up top who tells him Ray Charles is up there. I think we should challenge seriously, take the black glasses off. Damn. I mean, I mean, that was egregious. That dude would be my office this morning again. If it's close and margin of error, okay, we're going to take a shot. No one's going to be perfect. That one in the first half. Yeah. Idiotic. I didn't like either one of them. And I also don't like the idea that Gordon is yelling at the sideline right before the ball snapped that you got a challenge. Well, I mean, is it up to Kyle Gordon or is it up to the people upstairs? I mean, let me call now. We got to be able to get better with this. And I went back this morning before I came in and I ran that playback again, just to make sure I was right and that they got the call. They did the ball was there and watch Kyler Gordon. He runs to the end zone like they've been coached. Don't give up on a play. He ran it all the way back thinking might be a touchdown. And as soon as he sees it, they're calling it incomplete, he's doing like a baseball player with his hands. Review it. Review our basketball player. The twirling finger. Yeah. Yeah. Review it. I get the intensity of the moment and you think you made a play. Let someone with a clear look at it on video. Again, the second one, you're right. It hit the ground. But I get it. Next late, you're not scoring, you're taking a shot. Maybe his hand was under it. It wasn't the first one. Awful. I just, I don't know what they're looking at there. But again, that's a team loss. You know, a lot of people just like to pick up their coaching staff as soon as the team loses, but you could see it empirically that that is a team loss. That's coaches. That's players. That's offensive. That's everything. And it just did not work. And again, still, I will take my hat off to the Bears that they lost by six. Against a playoff team, but it was so close to being able to upset the Texans. That was a winnable ball game. And everybody stopped them from being able to get to where they want to be every, every angle of it. The defense, we give them credit cap, and that first half though, they got gashed all over the place. They got, but again, it wasn't so bad that it was a blowout. It felt like a blowout, but it was not. But the adjustment was made in the second half. Like, you know what? We're going to make sure that we pressure CJ Stroud. It became one dimensional with just Nico Collins. And again, opportunity to win the game. They did not. So very disappointing. Yeah. So let's go. The phone has to talk to you. 3123 to ESPN. 33237 because our telephone number, Lewis is on the road. He was the first to call us here on Captain Jay Hood. Lewis, good morning. Good morning, guys. It's a bit of a rough one, but you know, getting the listen to this show kind of got me through it. You know, you're right about, I'd actually kind of blocked out those really bad challenges from my mind because it was so egregious that I guess I kind of oppressed them. But I mean, really, all of this comes down to, I mean, you're right. It really is coming down to the offensive line. Like those two picks aside, I mean, one of them, like, I'm slightly bad on the throw to DJ Moore, picks aside, he was playing a solid game when he wasn't pressured. It blows my mind that our interior offensive line is so bad. I just really do not get it, but I'll let you guys have a good day and I hope that he's not laughing at me right now. Appreciate you. Thanks, Lewis. No one's laughing. Tell you right now. No one's laughing after that loss yesterday. The tackles were a little late getting off the ball. So I follow Olin because he live tweets a lot of offensive line stuff during the game. He's right. Not running outside left. The tackles are late off the ball because of the silent count because of the noise in the building. Fair. Fair. Then let's run more on the interior. Also, we only had to think by my count, six plays where we were under center, everything else was in the shotgun. But this fascination was running out of the shotgun all the time. I don't agree with it as much as they do it, but every team in the league's doing it. So what did Caleb do in college? Out of the gun. Right. You just. Yeah. But every team's doing it. I know. I mean, whether it was Malik, Willis, yesterday in the packet, they're all running out of the gun. I get that. You got somebody just tweeted at us and said, Scott, Quest and Barry, Mason, Cole, Justin Pugh, Phil Haines. These are unsigned guys on the street right now that are offensive linemen that have a NFL career in their background. Keep your phones on hashtag bears. That's our fair. Agreed. That's all fair because one thing about Ryan polls, as we've seen since he's been here, if there is an opening where he feels like the bears can be better, he will fill it. But don't come up short on the offensive line. You've done that in the secondary. You've done that on the defensive line. No one saw Darryl Taylor coming Taylor from Seattle. All of a sudden he's plugged into the team, a number of guys like that. But don't come up short with the offensive line because if he sees what we see and I'm sure that he does, he looks at this and goes, okay, we need, if we're going to salvage this season, if we're going to keep Caleb Williams upright, we have to do better on the offensive line. And by the way, you can bring new guys in the house hall this morning cap, plug them into this depth chart, and guess what, it still takes time for them to be able to be together. Five, you know, five guys have to be able to work together to try to protect the quarterback. It doesn't mean it doesn't happen overnight. You bring guys new guys in doesn't mean it's going to happen overnight. This is the, this is the problem coming in though, the weakest unit of the bears showed up again. It showed up in the Titans game, unfortunately for the Titans, they lost that football game. Fair. But for the bears in this one here from Nate Davis, and I'm going to tell you right now, he's not the only problem cap, but he's a glaring problem on the football team. I don't want to isolate Nate Davis and say that he's the reason why the offensive line is bad. However, when people on social media can just isolate on his play, well, he's running around like a toddler and not being able to defend his position, that's tough for veteran player. Correct. That's for a veteran play like he's the guy that should be able to help Shelton. He's a guy should be helping Darnell right in Kevin Jenkins, and but he's not. He's a glaring weakness on this football team on the offensive line. They all are, but him in particular, he gets a lot of it. But if you cut Nate Davis this morning, he'd have a job in like eight seconds. I'm sure someone else would go, we can get to them. There's nothing to be gained right now by cutting Nate Davis. Do you bench him? I don't know. The guy back in him up, Matt Pryor, can he be any worse? I don't know. I don't know. They see him every day at practice. All I know is that last week when Tom Thayer came on with us and speculated that we might not see Vellis Jones active. What happens on your phone Sunday afternoon? Oh, Vellis Jones inactive. Huh? Yeah. Listen to our station because our panel of experts, York, Waddle, Tom Thayer are amazing, Albert Breyer, but when you listen to Thayer and we have Thayer Thursdays, I think Carmen York have them on Wednesdays, I think Waddle, Sylvia have them on Fridays. But when he's on, Stute watches every snap of every practice. He's called the games for 29 years. There's nobody more wired on what's going on. So when he says something, trust it. All I know is that when he said about Vellis Jones, you and I looked at each other said, oh, is there a possibility that Vellis Jones could be inactive and guess what? He was inactive on Sunday. Same thing with Nate Davis. If the Bears coaching staff looks at that film and feels like Nate Davis is a minus on that film, he should be inactive. You got to send a message, man. Or be used as a backup because your other guy that you use there is on injury reserve. That's the problem. Yeah. You have a Doug Kramer who's never started the game before. Yep. They're still lingering on this roster. There's Bill Murray, there's Matt Pryor. I don't know what they're going to do, Cap. All I know is that if Ryan Polls does his due diligence with the rest of the football team, he just do the same thing with the offensive line. If it's going to be a theme where Caleb Williams is running for his life and that you can't run the football, you've got to fix it. If this is the time that you're going to make a move as a football team to get to the next level, you have to do it with players that you could trust. Guys that are productive. You're going to lose games, but you're beating yourself when you have this offensive line out there. You are. Williams also has a young rookie quarterback, that's why it's a Witcher's Broom. It's an offensive line that's not playing well, and it's a quarterback that when he does have time, sometimes underthrows his receivers because it's a timing issue between Caleb and the receivers. Correct. So now you've got a whole bunch of stuff happening here. You want to get Cole Comette more time. You want to be able to connect to what we think is top-notch receivers. You want the offensive line to hold up for you, and it's not working in the first couple of games of the season. On top of that, Shane Waldron, don't forget about him, too, and his personality issues. No question about it. And the last play of the game was supposed to be, I think, a back-shoulder throw to Roman Dunezay, and he didn't come back to the football. He did not. The ball was right there. So whether that was the wrong play call, whether Caleb was supposed to go deep with it, I think it was a back-shoulder throw. If Waddles awake by now, hopefully he'll text me, that's what I guessed it was, but he would know. Well, there's a couple of those throws that were supposed to be right there on the money, and Caleb was short with it. That last play you're talking about, that last series of Dunezay gets a 27-yard gain, a great play there for 27 yards. They throw it out to Everett, and he drops the ball. I don't know the fascination with Gerald Everett. I really don't. Second down, a sack by Hunter, third down, and a legal formation. That's great. That's great in that big spot. A legal formation. That was Braxton Jones, I think, right? I think so. And in the fourth down in '17, being complete to Dunezay, and that was the end of the ball game right there. Correct. That's it? That's it. 3-1-2-3-3-2-E-S-P-N-3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our phone number. If you're unholy, we'll be on the air. As we talk to you on this Bears Monday, the Bears lose to the Texas 1913. What did you think of the game that you saw on Sunday night? We're talking about it here on the home of the Bears, ESPN-1000. Good morning and welcome into the cap and jayhood morning show on ESPN-1000, and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app with David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you. We have around the NFL, right around the corner, Lance Briggs at 9, and Mattie Reffluse the head coach for the Bears at 9.40. Shot and no shot with Shane O'Rourke. Shane? Good morning, boys, on a Bears Monday, off a loss last night. There's an awfully familiar looking loss. How are we feeling? Like any other Bears Monday, for the most part, sitting here with cap, and that is where we tip our cap to the defense. And we look at an offensive line that can't hold up for whatever quarterback's back there, and that's just a recipe for the repeated underachievement that we've seen with this Bears team. The only thing that made me smile yesterday, cap, was watching first and 15 toward the, I think this is the end of the half, where we sent one and dropped ten. You recall his play? Yeah. That was. Why? I think that, if I'm not mistaken, Patriots fan, Shay, I think that Belichick has used this before. We sent one, dropped ten. That was unbelievable. That was something. That was something. One guy. I love that you took a picture of the screen. It was such an unusual formation, right? Like what are we doing there? And actually, I'm not sure who that was. Almost got home, whoever that was. Want to get the entire offensive line of the Texans, it's pretty funny. Crazy. But it's just, cap, it's, here's the thing that the audience has to know. You and I could say, yeah, Texans are better than the Bears. We think that at home, tough spot, rookie quarterback, you don't want to be right. You don't want to be right about that. You'd hope to be able to say, hey, man, they turned the corner. Look at them. After week one, they cleaned some things up on the road against a playoff team and the Texans in one, I will give them credit. They did not get blown out, but it was just so many glaring things about that team that just made me exhausted at the end of it. Yeah. It was exhausting and yet I'm standing up late going, oh my God, we got a chance here. And then Rome caught a 27 yard pass and up they get, we got a shot. Yep. They could get down there and win this football game. Bam. Sacked. See you later. Thanks for coming. Yeah, that's it. So Shay, lay out for us what you have for shot or no shot. There's a lot to talk about with this Bears team. Yeah, there is a lot. I'm going to start with Caleb Williams. That I just saw this morning. Caleb Williams average net yards per attempt at 3.0 is the lowest of any quarterback in weeks one and week two in 10 years. That's the worst number three yards per attempt in 10 years for any quarterback in the first two weeks of the season. Last week, week one against Tennessee, I told you, I thought they used their mulligan. Week one rookie quarterback, typically awful. It's didn't look a whole lot better last night. So now I ask you, shot or no shot. The concern level for Caleb Williams has now moved off of zero. Off of zero, one, two and the reason why you have concern, it's not just about Caleb cap. Think about the question he's asked. It's about Caleb in the offensive line. Yeah, my concern level is at zero, completely at zero. It was under siege. Now, you may get him killed, like if I'm Tyson Beijing, I'm getting scratched because at any moment, the way this old line's playing, he's going to be in there. It's a shot shape because again, when you look at the offense, it was the offensive line, which is true. It's not us piling on. If you watch the game, you saw how Caleb had a lot of pressure on him. But also when Caleb did not have pressure, he did flourish some 24, 25, 159 yards. What about the underthrows? That's also about the accuracy. That also is an issue. Shane Waldron, also an issue. So I think that's all encompassing. When we talk about the offense and Caleb Williams, it's all part of the same conversation. So I think that's a shot, absolutely, because you don't want him to be crippled. You want him to be out there healthy enough to play for 18 plus games this season, don't you? Correct. Okay. So no, it's a shot. The game where Caleb ripped a deep ball down the sideline. And again, like fired at 100 miles an hour or missed. I think it was DeAndre Carter by about 10 full yards. So there's just stuff I get that it's a difficult situation and he's trying to do his best. But some of the stuff, you got to hit the easy ones. Yeah, that was on third down a play that was wide open to Carter and he just missed him as a third down play. No, exactly what you're talking about. And then afterwards, I saw that there was a, it's going to be a show about Aaron Hernandez on Hulu. And I immediately said pass. I remember saying that in the hood cave, right after that play, it was a commercial for Aaron Hernandez. I don't know the documentary. I don't know if that's what you call it, but yeah, no shot, won't be watching that. Pass. Holy cow. Yeah, we'll see that. I think I think all of us know the story of Aaron Hernandez, clean the guy over your shoulder. Correct. Che. All right. The bears first signing of free agency this past off season was a running back. They went out polarizing move, got the Andre Swift. So far this season in two games, DeAndre Swift has 24 carries for 48 yards. Good for two yards per carry, only one first down the wrap on Swift and Philly. I said this all off season. He actually ran below his expected yardage behind one of the best offensive lines in football, struggled to get through contact, declined as the year went on. Or no shot, it already looks like signing the Andre Swift was a mistake. That's a no shot. I would like for them to diversify the running game a little bit more, like from the do that. Stop having DeAndre Swift run into a wall. You can start doing that. I know that he's pretty good between the tackles when he's got some openings, but I mean, what about going around to the left or right side? What about that? I mean, the running game is non-existent cap doesn't mean that DeAndre Swift is not able to do it. I want to get into the Harvard, just gets two carries. What are we doing about this running game? And we talked about Shane Waldron. He likes the forward pass. So I mean, you have to be able to have 50-50 to keep the rookie quarterback calm in the pocket. You got to have balance. If you can't run a football this season's over. You cannot run the ball this season is over, but again, when you pick a receiver at number nine and you leave offensive lineman on the board, that's what happens, man. And we all like Roma Dunes, eh? I'm glad he's here. But when you neglect your offensive line for far too long and then you try to make upgrades by buying at the dollar store, that's what happens. And by the way, you can draft a offensive lineman high in the draft. It can still be a bleep show. It still could because that offensive line will be learning too. Correct. So like you have to rookie quarterback and then you have a rookie offensive lineman. You could still have some issues there with timing and everything else that goes along with it. But from the jump, whether it's Justin or Caleb, you have to understand how to protect your greatest asset. The guy with the ball in his hands aligns here at the time, and that is the quarterback. Give him time to throw. We're not asking for eight, nine seconds. We're asking for at least two point seven five, so he can be able to survey the scene and do something. Run with the football and throw it. Go back to the 2021 draft and let this be a lesson to Ryan polls. The 2021 draft, the Cincinnati Bengals took the shiny toy to March case. How they got contracts, squabbles and he's not happy and what the lions do. They took Penay Sewell who's already locked up through the rest of the decade. He's the best right tackle in football. They've got Taylor Decker and Frank Ragnar. They added to their own line. The Bengals yesterday are offensive lines killing us. Yeah, because you didn't put money into it just like the Bears didn't. All right, I'll also this off season and talk about it. The biggest thing we lamented was the lack of meaningfully addressing the trenches, not just the offensive line, also on the defensive line. And yesterday, the lack of talent really on the offensive line reared its head. Caleb pressured on nearly half of his dropbacks, sacked seven times, pressures on almost half of his dropbacks completely ineffective run game, just 3.2 yards per carry should have been eight sacks, probably could have been nine shot or no shot. This was actually worse than the O line in Justin Fields nine sack game in Cleveland. Nothing's worse than that. Yeah, nothing's worse than that. You weren't in town, then we watched that game last night. I got flashbacks. Yeah, nothing's worse than that. That was worse because just the story lines leading into it because Matt Nagy kept telling fans in the media that Justin was not ready. He can't play yet. He can't play yet. It's going to take time. And he was pressing the service. And the thing that really pissed me off about that is is that, okay, you have to have a game plan. If your starter is not ready and Justin Fields has to be the quarterback, then you have to find a game plan that can support the young rookie quarterback. There was no full back to chip. There was no tight end to help. It was just the five little things of silly putty that was trying to defend Justin Fields and it did not work. He got railroaded because there was no plan. No plan for Fields. Well, also no plan from the coaching staff to protect him. That was horrible. That's as bad. And along with Cutler, that's as bad as I've seen on the offensive line in the modern day. The Cutler Giants game. Yeah. That's got set. I don't know. Ten times. And we've seen a lot, Cap, you and I, we've seen a lot of offensive line play that wasn't very good. Right. I mean, in the modern era, that spot as bad as you'll find. Right. Not good, but it was not close to the Cleveland game because the Cleveland game you lost, I don't know, 26, nothing. Why does that stick in my head? Something like 23 to six, maybe something it was blow out. Yeah. They got destroyed. They were never in the game. Well, that's the day. I mean, the biggest difference and it's my next question. The offense was terrible. Yeah. But the defense was excellent again, limiting Houston to 19 points consistently got off the field on third down. I think it was four for 14 Houston on third downs added a takeaway. Late with a fumble recovery to bring their takeaway total on the season up to four in two games. Shot or no shot. This is a top five defense. That's a shot. That's a shot, Cap. I mean, and again, going through the season, the off season, we were saying, besides my test, what, who can get to the quarterback? Well, starting to be answered, isn't it? Yep. They got a sack out of sandborn. They had to bring some heavy pressure to go back to your point about adjustments. They did adjust and really did a good job at slowing the running game like Joe Mixin. Joe Mixin had 158 yards a week ago and the Bears did a really good job against him. The Texans scored three points in the second half. That's it. Yeah. Now, did I like the end of the first half after the Bears scored and you snap? I just snapped the ball so quickly on second down because it allowed them to have time the other way. And Kaimee Fairbairn is phenomenal, phenomenal. What he did last night made history. It's never, ever, ever happened. Three 50 yard field goals in both games this season, no other kicker in NFL history has done that twice in their career. And he did it in two weeks. So this is not hyperbole on the part of Tareko and Collinsworth, right, Jay? Like the kickers are just awesome. They've gotten too good. I've been thinking about it this season because like watching Brandon Aubrey drill the dead ball from 66 yards the other day. Harrison Bunker goes out yesterday from 68 and it looked like they were going to go for it. They ended up punting. But like 58, 59 yards it used to be there's almost no shot. This goes in right now. It feels like you line anybody up. It's automatic. They're going to narrow the goal posts or something like it's become too easy. Everywhere around the league, guys are drilling them from 60 Fairbairn's last night, I think would have been clear from like 65, 66, all of them. There is a time, man. There is a time that 50 was daunting, daunting. That's like, oh God, 50, that's too. Yeah. These are just chip shots. That's amazing. And Cairo Santos is the throwback to that time, the 53 drilled it off the camera at the bottom of the post. And then the 56 at the end kicked a line drive just to get it over. Everybody else is hitting them like chip shots. It's ridiculous. This damn gimmick league that we're in now watching the actual football league. So if you hit the camera, it still goes in for three. Okay. Because the camera is already through the upright, get the camera out of there. Just get it out of there. What do we do? We don't need that NBC yet. Get rid of it. Just get it. Let's just get the guy to kick it. All right. Let's move the camera out of the way. That's not like, you know, make the rules murky. I'm just amazed at these kickers, man. I like that. It's automatic. I like it. Pretty cool. And then Justin Tucker, the greatest kicker in the history of the sport, he said a rough start to his season. He's missed a couple that he should make. That'll be long. That'll be all. Yeah. He's at the end of his rope, I think. That's okay. They just signed him to a massive extension. I know. They might be regretting that. Didn't the bills do that with Tyler Bass, too, and on Thursday night, Tyler Bass tanked everybody's over. Yeah. Yeah. I just, you know, my hope is, Cap, is we don't have too many more of these bears Mondays where the bears, not only the opponent beats the bears, but the bears beat themselves. Correct. Just so pissed off at the penalties and the little things. But again, you look at that score in 1913. I'm sure the coaching staff is saying, look, you know, down the defensive a good job, but we got some work to do. We can win these games, right? A lot. Sure. He's saying that a lot. I'm sure he's saying that we're close. Six points. Crazy. Didn't feel like it. It certainly did not. All right. Coming up, we will go around the NFL. We get over action Monday and more of your thoughts as well on the bears and their loss against the Texans. 312-332-ESPN-332-3776, our phone number, Captain Jhood on ESPN 1000, also on our YouTube channel. Welcome back to Captain Jhood. You're officially locked in. Chicago's home for sports, ESPN Chicago. Nick both sucks. He sucks. I'm just a fan. I'm not a football about you. I love the Green Bay Packers. The guy is from, but there we go. This is not Detroit, man. This is the Super Bowl. I love winter. He starts to comment and call back. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's on? So you're looking for all these things here. Right? It's time to go around the National Football League here on the Captain Jhood Morning Show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago Apple here from Lance Bricks coming up at the top of the hour at 9 o'clock. And Mattie Verfluce, the head coach for the Bears at 9.40. Around the NFL here, Shay Norlin, Shay. Overreaction Monday, week two. Okay. If you're still holding on to stock in Trevor Lawrence, time to sell it. Jags are 0 and 2. They've lost seven of their last eight games. Trevor Lawrence does not look good at all. 14 of 30 yesterday for 220 yards. No touchdowns. Took four sacks, fumbled, which has been an issue. The jags did recover it, but it didn't matter. They still lost. And I'm sorry, when you start 0 and 2 and have lost seven of eight games, including a huge collapse last year, Doug Peterson's seat is very hot. If this continues, he's going to be fired and Trevor Lawrence is going to be on his third coach in five years. I think that's very likely. Best of luck. Wow. Third in five years, another system, another this, another that. Whew. They ran the football effectively again, but it's just about making plays when you score 10 points in the second half. I mean, it's not like Cleveland was all these great shakes either. They weren't, but you're at home. It's your home opener for not mistaken and you lay an egg like that offensively. He's not what we thought he would be coming out college cap. And again, some of that could be coaching, some of it could be on Trevor Lawrence, but he looks the part. I think that people took smiles on the fact that he looks like the modern day quarterback, the next level quarterback in this generation. It just hasn't come to fruition yet. And they paid him. Yeah. And rightfully so. You know what? There's no one else in the pipeline. Correct. But your results are not great in Jacksonville. That's true. That's true. Okay. All right. The Carolina Panthers after getting blasted in their own building home opener at breakfast football for the Chargers did none of it matter. They got destroyed. They're going to get the number one pick in the draft and hoodie, they are going to select Quinn Ewers quarterback Texas. Yeah. That'll be all. Bryce Young done yesterday after the game when asked about his confidence, said his confidence is in the Lord. Okay. Good night and that'll be all for you. Close the book and boy, the Bears, but I got a break there. Imagine Bryce Young on the Bears. Oh, God. If people question Caleb Williams, turn on a Panther game, see if your TV doesn't get sick. And then Adam feeling completely absolved Bryce Young of any blame after the game. I was watching some of it where he just said, it's not on our quarterback. I believe in that kid. I believe it's on the rest of the whole operation. So if you're just being a good teammate, maybe yes, because did you see the play where Adam Thielen was running wide open, waving his arm wildly. Please throw me the football. Bryce Young tries to escape the pocket, gets hit, and then Adam Thielen's jumping up and down, yelling at the sky. I think he was a little upset with his quarterback yesterday. That's just bananas. He wasn't upset after the game, maybe in game, maybe, I mean, you know, I think we all know what that is. Shae, please don't bet on the Panthers again. That's it. Yeah, done. For the rest of the year, if you put your money on the Panthers, God bless. There's not a game that I see on this schedule that they can win. No hyperbole. No reaction. They might go 0 and 17. I mean, bless you, the raider turned around on Sunday. You got the bingle and you got the bear. Next few games. I don't see a game that's going to belong to schedule. Unbelievable. But those are the growing pains with a young quarter. That's what it comes down to, man. All right, Shae, what's your next overreaction? I'm going to stick with quarterbacks because hoodie. I think the quarterback market, the bubble, it's about to pop. Dak Prescott, fresh off signing a deal that will pay him $60 million per year is leading the NFL's 25th ranked offense by success rate. Yuck. I told you in Cleveland, I didn't think the offense was any good. They got bailed by Brandon Aubrey. Boy, they would have been nice if they got bailed by anything against the Saints. They're also 23rd and EPA and in fact, of the six highest paid quarterbacks by annual value, five of their teams currently sit outside the top 15 in EPA per play. Next off season, we're going to find out just how much San Francisco likes Brock Purdy, who's going to be in line for $60 million. I think this is the inflection point. This is the moment that owners look at this and go, no, GM's everybody, no, we can't pay these guys like this. It's done. Cap has a longer conversation because I know that you have balked at some of these big deals for these quarterbacks. Yeah. You talked about it. He said, hey, man, why are you giving so much money to someone unproven? And my retort to that from you is Cap, they have no one else in the pipeline. They're backup stinks and they're not bad enough. Some of these teams could go and tank to get the number one pick. So they just pay what they have like the Giants with Daniel Jones and they just go right through and say, well, we don't have a good backup. We're never going to be so bad that we're going to be winless. So here we go. And they just settle. I would agree with Shay, again, a longer conversation that whenever is going to happen with Dak and they'll make the playoffs and they'll fall short because that's what the Cowboys do. But these young quarterbacks are going to have their hands out saying, well, if Dak got that and Lamar got that and where's mine? And it's up to an organization to say, sorry, you're unproven. Sorry. I know that Jordan love got paid and I know that Dak got paid, but you know, we're done. Well, but you paid him. This is the rate. No. That was their rate. Correct. And if you don't like it, we'll find somebody else. But just be prepared as an organization to make that deal to make that change. If you say no to a quarterback and a court, you're starting quarterback wants to go some place else, but have a plan. Be ready now. Have a backup that you believe in or get yourself in a position where you can get a quarterback that you believe in the draft because you have a rising realization to say, I can't pay you 65 million. You're not very good. You haven't proven anything yet. Prove it and I'll give you the money. It's bad, bad, bad, bad on every level. I think some week we talk about long form, she at some point, because the Cowboys in the same situation, if not Dak, who? At some point, instead of paying a guy who you know you're not or who it seems like you're not really capable of winning with that kind of money. And historically, once you pay them that much money, you do not win. At some point, I think GMs are going to figure out we should just draft guys in the first round every year instead of paying this dude $60 million. Then when you find a homes type or a Josh Allen type or that caliber, you're okay. We can pay that one. Everybody got paid with the Cowboys, except Mike McCarthy. Everybody got paid except McCarthy, the beat cop, only one, but he'll be done this year. They'd have to make a deep run. This is this is it. I mean, everyone gets paid, but then McCarthy is on a lamb duck year and so and such wild inconsistency. All right. Shea says that they didn't play that well against the Browns. They did win the game in the first game, but then just to get blown out at home the way you did against the Orleans just while inconsistency with the Cowboys, how's that happen at home? I don't know. That was unbelievable. And Kamara three touchdowns. He was phenomenal. Shea. Two more quick. The Arizona Cardinals are going to be a playoff team because they're going to win the NFC West. The Rams are dead, Cup dead, Puka dead, the offensive line dead. Nobody can protect Matthew Stafford. They're done. The Niners, CMCs on IR and I'm sorry, Brock Purdy looked lost yesterday without him. This Cardinals team, Marvin Harrison looked incredible yesterday. The force feed from Kyler. That division suddenly wide open. I think Cardinals could win it. Wow, I don't, but we'll see. I don't think they're winning the division, but maybe you'll be right. You're already look horrible on your Giants pick, so maybe you'll get right on this one. By the way, history again yesterday, Giants, the first team in NFL history to score three touchdowns against a team that scored zero touchdowns and lose the game, never happened before in the history of the league. Incredible. I just want to take a look at the rest of the schedule here with Arizona. So the line zone going to get healthy and get back and they're going to beat Arizona on Sunday. They play the commanders and then you've got the 49ers on the road for the Arizona. Let's take a look and see what the, as you laid out about the 49ers, Shay, let's see what the 49ers are. By the time Arizona comes to Levi Stadium, let's take a look. Yeah, Arizona's got an okay team. I'm just, Harvard Harrison though, oh, Dr. Kinesbury looks back on the, he was flying on that field yesterday. You look good. When he looks good, there's no more exciting player. He's so little, tiny, he looks like he's bouncing around. I will tell you, you know, well, it looks good. Baker Mayfield. He's really good. Really good. You got one more? Are you saying? Yep. Uh, the Saints have the best offense in the NFL. They went out, poached, Clint Kubiak, former passing game coordinator in San Francisco. He's not there anymore. I wonder if that's impacting their pass offense a little bit yesterday. Clint Kubiak goes to be the OC in New Orleans. They have the fourth most points through two games in NFL history. They have scored 16 of 20 possessions. Derek Carr looks awesome. Playmakers everywhere, they've turned, uh, Shaheed into an incredible talent and Alvin Camara turned the clock back for touchdowns in Dallas. That's the best offense in football. I can't believe I'm saying it, but holy cow, how can you deny him? So Carr is not dead. 94 points in two weeks. I know. I know. Pretty good. So you're saying Carr is not dead. Apparently not resurrected him and Alvin Camara, both resurrected, brought back from beyond the grave. I just want to see if this is a trend. I guess two games is a trend to see a little bit more. And so far, to beat Dallas has asked the way they did on the road. Oh, they thrashed a man hats off to them, hats off. And that is our look around the NFL overreactions right here on cap and Jhood. One of your phone calls come you up.
