We should get a sponsor. The power rankings of Putrid. Presented, bye, no one. Who was worse? All fingers should be pointing at the offensive coordinator. Yeah. That was a short honeymoon. Yeah, this is an interesting thought process with Shane Waldron's part. You can start the offensive coordinator, I have no problem, if that's the way you want to start it. Apparently, the general manager, he had this beauty, he said that the online communication technique and fundamentals have led to a rough performance rather than bad talent. Whoa, I did not see that. That moves him way the hell up in my estimation. Yes, thank you. Okay, so I might even move him atop the list after reading that yesterday. I'll put everybody on the list. I'll put them all on the list, hey, what's going on with the building downtown? Get on the list. I'm one of the things I always look at coming home to the city is I always look for cranes in the air. Everybody, there's a spot for all of you. Kevin Warren's on the list? I just put them on there. Start your mornings with Mully and Haw, 53210am on 670 The Score. If that doesn't make your teeth chatter, I don't know what will. Wow. Let's go. Mully and Haw Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score. As I was driving down this morning and my teeth were clattering as the fact that there's no road on the road and then I got here and couldn't even figure out how to take a left turn because there's no road where there used to be a road. I was wondering underneath the building, if there were cranes in the sky, what are the grades doing? Mully, happy Tuesday. So you had a hard time with your commute because of the road construction? No, no. I had a great time. I just was chattering. My teeth were chattering. A lot of activity at this time of day, at this time of morning. Yeah. Tires on LSD. I don't know if you're following it. There's a lot of reconstruction in the city. Kevin, one would be happy about that. Well, I mean, the internal workings of this joint, right? Where we are in the prudential building and it is beautiful. Give yourself a couple extra minutes for coming. A couple of minutes? You don't know quite what path you're going to have to take into the parking garage at any given day. There's no way to get out. That's part of the problem. Getting in is fine. Hotel California. Yes. You can check in, but you can never leave. Never check out. Never leave. Yeah. So it's... I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you made it. Thank you. We've got a lot to talk about. It was a big night in the NFL. It was a big day at Haddles Hall. There's a lot looking forward to. The Rams are coming to town. Sean McVay is talking about Kayla Williams. There's a lot going on. And oh, by the way, the White Sox make history tonight in all likelihood. Yeah, we don't always talk about it. I know, but we're going to get to that at some point. No, we don't. It's a big day. September 24th. Remember that day forever. It'll be indelibly etched into your memory if you're a Sox fan. You can mention it. Only only people that want to talk about it are guys like Dustin that are grinning from here. No, no, no. Yeah, that's it. It's the right way. We've got to figure out how to put it into context. Yeah. I think by putting our heads in the ground and ignoring it. Well, last night was football night. By referring to them as Jerry Reinsder of Sox, not even the White Sox. Why did they have two Monday night games at this stage of the season in the hard time picking up? I was mad about that because I was, I don't, I'm not equipped to deal with two Monday night games. I was actually a little worried about you like, okay, how are, I was wondering how you were watching both or if you were bothering even to watch both. I tried to watch some of the Cubs game and then I saw, you know, Kyle Swarber's. After Swarber, Homer, that was out. And then I was out. And then I turned on the game and it was already over. I mean, the game was over so quickly. Jacksonville has a problem. Jacksonville has a lot of problems, not the least of which apparently the quarterback has no confidence left. Oh, apparently the coach doesn't either. And the coach is going through his own crisis. We talk about. Order back. Post game admissions. We talk about post game, you know, how they, coaches can port themselves. We mentioned yesterday, Antonio Pierce versus Matt Eberfloos. Doug Peterson basically conceded last night that he's not capable of finding what's but he needs to find to have the confidence to move on. It was really strange to have the question asked if the quarterback has lost all confidence and have the coach say, well, you know, aren't we all kind of going through like he was like, well, who isn't losing confidence? Whatever he said. That's not what you want to hear. What? Wrong answer. Yeah. So the bills look like a team off to as good of a start as any team in the NFL. Three and oh, the Marhamlin getting an interception was really a special moment. If you happen to be watching that game, but if you were watching that game, you were watching the one that everyone will be talking about in every NFL city this morning, and that's the Washington commanders taking care of the Cincinnati Bengals and Jay Daniels breaking it out. And where was that game? That was not in Cincinnati. That was. No, I'm saying where was it on television? Oh, that was on ABC, I believe. So you had the one game on ESPN and the other game on an ABC and you had no manning cast because they couldn't figure out which one to watch. Is that it? I think maybe because Bill Belichick was busy. I don't know. Maybe that's why they didn't have a manning cast. Okay. He doesn't. He have to be on. I just was disappointed. There wasn't a manning. Hey, it's been at least a day and a half since Bill Belichick's been on television. So I think we have a problem here. He was on the radio yesterday. Was he? Yes. He was on the well, he was on a couple of different stops, not the least of which he's replaced Tom Brady on the Let's Go show. That's so. Now I can sleep. Now. So that wherever you found the game, yes, and even if you didn't, you'll see it all over social media. Oh, yeah. Jaden Daniels is the man is the man of the league this morning because of his breakout performance and because of the way that he has played in the first three games, he is the it quarterback in the NFL right now. He is the, he's the CJ Stroud, yes, to the Kaleb Williams, Bryce Young. Well, we're going to continue to talk about this, but because because he is the CJ Stroud or that comparison is asked because he was a number two overall pick, right, doesn't mean that Kaleb Williams is playing the role of Bryce Young. Well, it means the NFL may have drafted the wrong quarterback first two years running. You can contend that you can think that and you can argue that I'm not going to be arguing that or thinking that or contending that today. I didn't expect you to. I'm just saying that would be the public reaction. Sure. It might be the public overreaction. Yes. Yeah. He is special. I don't think the Bears talk to him. I don't think so either. He is zeroed in on one guy. Jaden Daniels showed a lot of things last night that you're going to get used to seeing if he continues this, this progression, but he can, he can run. He's a natural gifted runner and he's elusive like Lamar Jackson. And last night you saw the accuracy that has been consistent. He's completing over 80% of his passes through three games. The big play for me, like a lot of people watching third down was it was third and short. I believe the one that Terry McLaren caught in the corner of the end zone, the last touchdown pass of the night, what a throw. What a throw. Yes. I'm the money. He's a good player. He's an offensive coordinator. I believe it's Cliff Kingsbury. I think it's the man from architectural digest. I bet you he lives in a nice place out in DC. He's got a beautiful home. I bet. I don't know how nice the places are out in DC. Oh, come on. Oh, I mean, he's probably, he's not like in a, in a Georgetown bungalow. I mean, some sort of a townhouse. I believe he would be in the Virginia countryside. Perhaps. Why couldn't I say that without you getting up. I thought you were disparaging Washington DC as a place to live. No, no, no. I was merely stating that I think having seen him in the desert that he may prefer something more visually stimulating in his glass field. I can't wait for the next issue of architectural digest DC edition to see where he's living. Whatever, wherever he's living, he's doing a lot of good work at the office because that is how you structure an offense around I don't think he's in Maryland, a skill set of your quarterback that takes advantage of it. I don't think he's in Maryland either. Probably. Well, DC district of Columbia. It's not exactly anywhere. It's not in Maryland. It's not in Virginia. It's kind of in between. But I'm thinking of where the football operation is run and I'm guessing that he's commuting from someplace not within the city limits. Don't you think he's got like a limo driver and a second call driving himself? Yeah, Mr. Kingsbury, thank you. So he's a smart football guy. And what we saw last night, and one of my bigger takeaways and we'll continue to talk about this is that the way that the commanders, we'll talk about whether they got the right quarterback into the, you know, all of this stuff, the CJ Stroud comparison is an obvious one. But the commanders got the right offensive coordinator. Oh, so you're choosing to say that they hired the wrong coordinator. They didn't draft the wrong quarterback is I'm saying, I'm saying that three games in the only reaction that I'm having, the biggest reaction that I'm having is, yeah, Jay Daniels is special, but they're understanding how to get that out of him quicker and better than the bears have figured that out with Kayla Williams. And there are a lot of other things that are apples to oranges and that really app comparisons. But I do think that good for Cliff Kingsbury, good for Dan Quinn. This is a franchise that maybe had turned a corner last night. It feels like they did. And they did so because they're making the best use of his talents and they know how to get the most out of their quarterback. Yeah. Jaden Daniels set an NFL rookie record for the highest completion percentage. Wait for it, ever in a game by a rookie, ever. What? It's a pretty good game. Are you sure that they checked CJ Stroud's stats because I thought he said every record imaginable last year? Well, no, I don't know. Last impressive. I made it something. It was pretty special. And he said everything correctly afterward. He thanked everyone the right way he he shared all of the glory. Well, the way they're talking about what they're talking about in Washington is that the the narrative out there is that the commanders as a franchise took a major step last night. Monday night football national audience Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow on the other side considered a Super Bowl contender despite their own three start. But a lot of a lot of people pick the Bengals to do some big things this year. And I think that last night, they're all with three, they're only three commanders do what they did to them as easily as it looked. That game didn't include a punt or a turnover. That was great football to watch, really. I think we, you know, it would be fun. We'll talk to Big Z at seven, but I want to, I want to, I think what you're saying is the Bears got the worst coordinator. That's the one thing you're willing to say. Is that it? Well, okay. I'll put it in my terms. I don't know that I would put it that way. I would, because I don't know if I'm all out on Shane Waldron after three games. I don't want it. I don't want to go there, even though a lot of people have. I want to say that it appears to me, the only thing we can conclude after three games is that the commanders got it right and the Bears still don't know. And I think, I'm talking about the player. I'm talking about the play card coordinator. The coordinator. All right. Now, as far as the player goes, if you want me to weigh in there right now, I wouldn't dare. I think you've already weighed in. I think we're. It's too early for me. Yeah. Are you in? I'm Jay Daniels over, Jay Daniels greater than Caleb Williams. Would you tweet that? Three games in? Would you say that? Well, three games in. Well, you know what? I mean, I'm not one of these like, well, wait and see guys. I'm not a wait and see guy. I'm looking at what's happened right now. You kind of are. I mean, you should be. I know. You should be a wait and see guy. I'm just not allowing a wait and see answer. I don't think a wait and see answer. It's 543. We got plenty of time, man. Okay. It's 543. It's September 24. You would have to. You would have to admit that that was the best game you've seen from a rookie quarterback ever. Well, I was completion percentage. I hadn't really started to categorize it in my memory bank as far as the best rookie performances by a quarterback in Chicago. That's not really hard to do. There's not a lot of frame of reference. Let's put it. Let's put it this way. If you got a phone call, if you're running Washington this morning and you get a phone call. Yeah. And it's hey, this guy's not working out for us. We want to make a deal. Would you take Trevor Lawrence straight up for Jay Daniels? No. No. No. See, I went a different way there because I just wanted to drive in through a curvy little state. Trevor Lawrence is now set a record. He is the Chris Flexin of the NFL right now. They have not won one of his starts in the last eight. I believe. Eight. Eight. That's quite a problem. Yeah. When you are the franchise quarterback, who by the way, signed an extension over the summer guaranteeing him hundreds of millions of dollars that he probably won't be around to earn for the Jacksonville Jaguars. If you're shotgun on that owner, what are you thinking right now? Get me to London? Pronto? Well, I mean, he's got a lot of money and he owns a football team and he owns much of London. Does he? Does he own the National Stadium there? I mean, the guy has got some fun. You tell me you're the London football expert. Here you go again. I just just saw, you know, in England, they speak what's called English, okay? We got to go football again. But just to distinguish it between soccer and football, do you think any of the three guys we talked to the last Friday could speak a word of another language? How did that go? By the way, how did that big party in Lincoln? Oh, I heard he wasn't great. You know, it turned up your guy, the mayor, got a t-shirt, got a like a nice, he printed shirt. Brandon Johnson, Mayor Brandon Johnson. He was there. How's he? My guy. He was your guy. And Benny, the bull was there. And that's on my guy. And he came out and Benny offered some popcorn. You know, Benny's going to show up at a party, everybody's wearing popcorn. Was Benny over served? Benny is awesome. Ah, Benny's all right. I love Benny. A lot of bad blood there. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of bad blood. David tried to write one night. Sorry. You know, he's covered. It's all forgiven. I'll forgive him. Everyone. Anyway, so the Trevor Lawrence connection to this is that he's been very bad. And there's yes. He played last night. He played last night and Josh Allen played against him and had four touchdown passes in the first half. Oh my God. They were fantastic, but they never put together the best rookie season ever. The best game ever game, not season yet. Completions in a game. Ever. That's pretty good. It's pretty good. It underscored. I mean, listen, am I mistaken to Caleb Williams, not just throw for 363? Caleb Williams completed 33 passes and 363 yards of passing over the weekend. And we come in here on Tuesday morning wondering if the bears got it wrong. I love Chicago. Is it wrong? I love Chicago. Is it wrong to measure it? I mean, the long awaited quarterback that looks the part and is yeah, has having rookie moments, but the idea that the bears got it wrong with that position after a 363 yard effort is just so on brand. It's just so on brand. Why didn't they talk to him? Why did they talk to who? Daniel's. I think because they would even give him an interview. Let me tell you. I was begging to tell him. I'm begging to tell him what they got it big damn. Okay. Look, I understand that is a valid question. And if you want to criticize it, it's open season. I'm just I'm not saying you necessarily you like a point of figure at you. I'm not trying to trigger you. You feel like you feel like you. You in the general sense, you can ask those questions this morning and they would all be valid and they all be appropriate and certainly timely because Jayden Daniels is the guy. You in a general sense would never ask those questions. No, but we in a general sense are wondering. Okay. Then let me ask. I'm talking about what I think. I don't want to think about the we or the you, whatever. I think that it's a fair question, but yeah, it's way too early to conclude anything about either guy, even though I think Jayden Daniels is going to be special. I think Caleb Williams is going to be special and I think we're going to be treated to two guys whose careers we can compare and contrast for a very long time. I don't know if this is going to be Burro Mahomes or Brady Manning. I don't know if it's going to be anything that great. Or Stroud Young. That's open that Stroud Young, but I think it's fair to wonder that we're going to look at it. But I think both guys can be real talented, pro bowl caliber quarterbacks in the league for a very long time. Textor says Jayden Daniels, given his injury history, would be hospitalized right now if he were behind the Bears offense. It's a fair point. I don't think about, I mean, it's a fair point about the offensive line comparison. Yeah. I don't about his being hospitalized, that's extreme, but he's also very wiry. Would you worry about him running as often as he likes to run? There was a time last night just watching that game where he was taken off down the field after he was on a little bit of a roll of like, no, stop, don't do that because he's shifty and boy, when he runs, he's dangerous. When you got the birds, you got to let them fly. When you got the horses, you got to let them run. Right? Yeah. I got the answer. Is that his song lyric? Is that a poem? Is that a British literature? I don't know, but I think it's very, it's apt. It is apt. So I think that, yeah, if you're feeling very good about projecting success for Jayden Daniels at the draft, you're looking pretty good this morning. I don't know that it was something that I immediately thought, boy, the bears got it wrong. I was more pleased with number one, this is a, this is a player that's going to be so much fun to watch. The commanders have a good time. Dan Quinn, I love the way he coaches and my head went here. When he get passed over by Matt Eberfloose, when Matt Eberfloose was hired as a head coach of the Bears, wasn't Dan Quinn the other finalist? He was one of, I don't remember, I've blocked out a lot of that stuff. I think I need to go back and check that. I can't wait to talk to Bigsy. We'll talk to Bigsy at seven because I seem to remember that they interviewed like 15 people. Now, now they, they didn't, did they do an informational interview with head coach? I think Dan, I think Dan Quinn was a finalist. No, no, I'm talking about the offense quarter. Oh, okay. I'm just, I'm still on, I'm still on the Bears offense and they're, they, they, they mind him for information and Caleb Williams, but I don't know if they seriously interviewed him. Yes. Yeah. We'll have to get to the bottom of that. But both those guys are now in Washington, they got the quarterback that fits their franchise. And it seems that things are turning around in DC, they're two and one after three weeks, very early in the season. I wonder if Bigsy wants that game. He might think he, if he didn't watch the game, he taped that game and he's probably going to be watching it all day and getting out his, the, the Hogs poster on his bedroom wall. It was, I meant that as a joke and a cigar yelled at the TV, he did. Run it up. Yeah. That's what he was. Yeah. That's what he was. Yeah. Don't stop that boys. Run it up. Run it up. Oh man. That's so good. That's an eligible first touchdown pass of Jayden Daniels career. That was really cool. Yeah. Yeah. They're having fun. They're having a good time. But you know, Cliff Kingsbury, you know, creative guy, Kubiak, those are old creative guys, born to it, Shane Waldron, I don't know. He's creative. I don't know. It's appropriate. He's not off to a good start. There's no question about that. There's no way around it. He is not off to a good start. And he has a weapon in Caleb Williams that he needs to get more out of or find ways to get more out of the offense. Caleb Williams, I would hesitate to say he needs to get more out of him. Maybe I'd take that back. Don't ask as much of him as they seem to be asking right now. It's fun stuff. I'm just curious if, you know, and I don't know how you feel about it, but since we're just talking about different quarterbacks, I believe Justin Fields is just 3 and 0 with you. Yes, he is. He definitely is. This is why one of the reasons I love the city and talking sports here because it would just figure that Caleb Williams is coming off a loss where in three games where he hasn't lived up to expectations that were enormous and were responsible for many of those. And Jaden Daniels looks like he turned the Washington franchise around in three games, and Justin Fields looks like he's the quarterback of the present and the future in Pittsburgh, and we're still waiting for evidence of growth and progress for the Bears' offense in Chicago. All good topics. Yeah. That's why it's going to be a good day. It's important a lot of fun to do. It's important to be to ramps. That's why it's important to win. Time to get back to some wins. It's time to regain some confidence and momentum. This is a team that lost a lot of credibility Sunday in Indianapolis. And you don't want to turn them into, say, Trevor Lawrence. You don't want to turn them into... Just to keep the QV thing going. You'd rather them resemble the Bills in Josh Allen. For touchdown passes in the first half against the Rams, you would take that from Caleb Williams, right? I would think so. Yeah, I think so. All right. We've got a lot to get to. We've got an entire city-wide issues to tear apart and talk about and teams here and teams nationally and we'll get into all of it. We've got the pick six next.

How about the Bears Coach Matt Iberofus seemingly to be grudgingly admit that the play call on fourth in one from the goal line might have been better, well, almost, almost admitting it. Almost. Iberofus who said the Bears liked the play on Sunday after the game admitted he'd have preferred not having to get to fourth down and when asked if the speed of the Colts defense was a factor. Listen to this. You can't direct three times in a row and then we had an option to do either one on the fourth one. So, you know, I as the head coach would like him to do it in those three plays. I don't have to make that decision on fourth down, but I do believe that you do have to take an account for speed, but again, if the look was right, that was going to be a good play for sure. All right. How do you respond to what Matt Iberofus had to say there? Listen, you know, someone sit them down, show them the play again. It doesn't matter what theoretically the play was supposed to look like. What if the look had been this? It was a terrible play and you got steamrolled and you had a defensive tackle in the backfield right as you started the play and the quarterback had no choice but to flip it out and guess what? You got buried. You had two guys on the outside. They sniff that out and they destroyed you and you lost 12 yards. Stop saying you like the play. If in butts and candy and nuts, that's a terrible play. It's a terrible play. Run the damn ball straight up the middle. Do it four times. And if you end up on the inch line, you end up on the inch line. They're better than you, but that was awful. That was God awful. Just admit it and let's move on. God. I couldn't believe that answer. Yeah, that was an answer that you would rather not have heard from your head football coach and as a defensive guy, something I want to get to in a minute. But Darnell Wright, absolutely whiffed, turn style as Biggs would like to say on that third down play. If he even makes contact with his defender, I don't know, I mean, I don't even know how he did that. If he just touches the guy, they score there. Here's the other thing. You can do like that play so much. Why not run that on second or third down, right? Because everybody's expecting you to run it straight ahead. That's what teams do. That's what you should do. You should run it straight ahead. But if you're going to get cute, why not get cute on second or third down? And I will say with this defense, why not take the three points? It's seven to nothing. Take the three points, you're better than them. You think you're better than them. Your defense has been playing great. Take the three points, go into halftime down seven to three. I think they did the right thing in going on fourth down. You need to score a touch on that situation given the circumstances. On first down, they did get cute. They got too cute. And that should have been the lesson they learned. And then you run it right up the middle and you get in the information or you get into behind center and you get a yard and you give your offensive line credit and respect by saying that they can get the yard. If they don't, that's on them. But you trust them to get the yard. What they did, the Bears are trying to play chess and all you need to do is play checkers. They're over-complicating things. They got another quarterback. They got another offensive coordinator, excuse me, trying to get too cute in that situation. Just run the ball. And if you didn't make it, just own it. This kind of conversation that Matt Eberfluis is continuing is just, this has been disappointing in the way that he's handled this portion of what happened Sunday. The post-game rationalization about being encouraged the day after over-reaction day and he can't even acknowledge that this was a bad decision. Just own it. People will respect you more and you'll learn from the mistake because you know what? It was a mistake. It was a bad call. It was a terrible sequence and you deserved what happened to you. You don't run an option play to the short side that you only, it worked in practice. Who practices anymore at a speed that it matters? Come on now. I'm not talking necessarily about a pick stick or something like that. That's the voice of Brad Big, 7 o'clock is Big's time. Do you think the Bears will stick with Matt Pryor, who started in a place of Nate Damis at Right Guard and played 79 snaps on Sunday or will they go back to Nate Davis? Was the decision by Iberfuss approved he could be tough with players or was this injury related? I don't really know because I don't think it's been made clear. Do we know that? Have I missed that? Is it something that they have talked around? Because again, if I were the coach of this team and I'd bench somebody because of poor play, I would let that be known to everybody. Including my locker room, whom I already know, but my fan base and that would be something I would not necessarily be proud of, but I would want it known because you have to set a standard and you don't want to see the standards sliding. And if this is in fact something that is an owed to accountability, then you need to own that as well because good for you. If you bench the veteran, who's your highest paid offensive lineman, I think that's significant. And if you did it because not the injury that kept him out of practice at times last week because he has not been interested or engaged, therefore he has not been good, then make that known, embrace that idea because that says that you have a standard that needs to be met. And if it isn't, there will be consequences. There should be consequences. There should be consequences to everything bad that happened on Sunday. The consequence of calling a speed option on fourth and one should be taking that page out of the playbook and burning it in a ceremony. So being present and being prepared to things that I think Matt Pryor has been doing versus what Nate Davis has been doing is a big thing, right? So I think that's part of it. I think they were sick and tired the bears of every day that this soft tissue injury was limiting their practice time. Now here's what you don't know, can the bears offensive line and the run game coordinator and Maddie Verfuse's best buddy in the whole wide world teach Matt Pryor how to go second level. Now that's the difference. Tackels really don't go second level all that often. And there were a couple of pieces of tape that I saw out there on social media where Matt Pryor absolutely whiffs when he goes out to, he gets to the second level, but he doesn't know the idea of just just hit somebody who has a different jersey on than you that when you don't know what to do, hit a guy with the other Jersey. Don't miss both guys with the other Jersey. So I hope they were punishing Nate Davis. But if Matt Pryor can't figure out how to go next level, unfortunately you've got to have Nate Davis back in there this week. Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to lean on the injury. I'm going to say that Nate Davis is having an injure, a groin injury limit him. He did come into the game when they were stuck, but it was just for a play. And that's that makes you wonder how how seriously injured he is. But you know, you can't practice because you have a groin injury. It's hard to then play on Sunday. So they had to replace him all week and then they decided to give that a whirl. This isn't working. Whatever's going on with Nate Davis and if it's tough love, if it's if it's whatever it is, it's not working. If they're trying to motivate him, it's not working. If he has an injury, that means it's not working. Whatever's gone on with Nate Davis, it really hasn't worked. He hasn't been able to practice much in the off season. He has doesn't seem to be ready for the season to begin. And now he's carrying an injury and and whether it's it's a soft tissue injury and they're mad about it or whether it really is debilitating doesn't really matter because it's not working. So at this point, that's just the situation you're in with the guy. If you can get him up and run it and practicing, maybe he can move back into the lineup, but I think they seem to want him to practice before they play him. So feel free to not play him. Oh boy, good question. That's the voice of coach Juan Steady's here for two big segments beginning at 744 with Mully and Haw. Matt Eberflu seem to reluctantly criticize Kayla Williams for an interception on a throw into double coverage intended for Roel Medunze. He called it an aggressive throw and said the safe throw would have been going into the flat. You never want to take away his aggressiveness, but he has to be really good with the football. And that's his number one job as the quarterback. Is four picks the last two games too much? Um, yes, four picks is too much and two games. Two picks a game is not going to play with the bears and with the deficits that they have and, you know, two picks and a fumble is not good. I mean, I don't know what to tell you, you've got to get a grip on that. I think it's really interesting that the quarterback says that his number one job is a quarterback is to protect the football because that's not the way they're playing. And that's not, you know, you don't have a guy pass. What was it? 56 past attempts, right? With the sacks. 56 past plays that were called four sacks, 52 attempts. So you don't really want to throw the ball 56 times if you're worried about giving the ball away. I'm being honest. Oh my gosh. I know. I'm saying. There are a lot of seemingly contrary things going on. And I'm not sure exactly. I don't know how Maddie Brfluce talks to the player. I hope it's a lot more forthright and it's not as reluctant as this was. But yeah, we can't have that would would have been a sufficient answer. Well, this starts opening the door on what you guys talked about in the first segment of the show with Jane Daniels, he sets a record for complete and again, he took what the defense gave him. We also heard Eberfluce yesterday in that meeting, the zoom meeting talking about like as soon as one thing's not open, the quarterback needs to go to the like third thing. He almost said like skip your second read. That's what I took away from it. I know you guys did, but like he's got to know what the third option is and that should be open. Now you don't want to take the aggressiveness out. You talk about, you know, there's got to be a few plays where you're taking the shot down field, his long ball. But here's the other heat. And again, is he afraid or he doesn't want, he doesn't run the ball, run the ball, take the easy stuff. You saw that last night, both Joe Burrow and Jane Daniels took easy when they're not there. Josh Allen, but Josh Allen's kind of a run quarterback. But those two guys who are not they, when there was nothing open, they ran and slid and got five or six easy yards. He's not even doing that. That's what drives me crazy. It's okay for Matt Iberflus to criticize or to critique Caleb Williams in a way that maybe isn't all effusive praise. That's got to be the relationship they have. That's got to be the dialogue and the way that we get used to hearing him talk about Caleb Williams. It shouldn't stand out when he says something that is maybe veiled criticism because you never want to take away his aggressiveness. He has to be really good with the football. Yes, he does. Three turnovers on Sunday. That's the reason you lost that game is because now it wasn't his fault necessarily. But if any quarterback, not named Caleb Williams in the past, whatever however many years you want to attach it, they had a fourth quarter turnover, we would be saying the quarterback can't have a fourth quarter turnover. For two weeks in a row now, Caleb Williams has been too careless with the football. He has a lot of things that get you excited. There are a lot of things that you're going to be happy about the reason he's here. But he has to do what he did well in the opener despite him not throwing for many yards in the opener. He did protect the football. First do no harm. Every quarterback has the same football, Hippocratic oath. You can't get your team beat. Anthony Richardson nearly tried hard to get the Colts beat. The Bears wouldn't let him. They know how to lose. But if you're Caleb Williams, yes, your biggest takeaway isn't 33 completions. Save one, one game. 363 yards. No turnover. And they didn't have any turnovers. So you take away from Sunday, if you're Caleb Williams, there were too many takeaways that you were responsible for. Clean it up. And that's what my neighbor Flus essentially was saying. If it means, you know, kind of checking down to clean it up, check down to clean it up. You can still get big on the home run. You can still think aggressively, but you got to be smart and he wasn't being smart. Different question on different topics. Mike Florio's voice there, you'll hear more from Mike at 844, how interested are you in whether the White Sox break that MLB record at home tonight for the most losses in a season. It would be their 121st on the 2024 Chicago sports calendar, how newsworthy of a night is that really? Well, I think that there's two different questions here, maybe that one, how interested are you in it? Maybe not at all. If you're tired of the White Sox losing, it's a redundant tired theme. We talk about it all the time and try to ignore it as best we can. It is a sports talk radio show that it's hard to ignore. I wish we could. We can't. And tonight you'll see the White Sox game get attention from national news services from national reporters. This is a national story because the national pastime has a new low watermark, the 2024 White Sox, the 121st loss. This is history in the making. Maybe it happens tonight with Jonathan Cannon on the mound. Maybe it doesn't, but you have to watch and that people will have to show up. There will be people attending this game, covering this game that don't typically cover games for a baseball team in September, late September, but this is newsworthy. It is unfortunately significant. And the White Sox, I don't know, should you lean into it and sell tickets for $1.21 or sell concession stand items for $1.21, 121 cents will get you whatever. I don't know if they do that. I doubt that they will, but it will be one of those nights that I think that it's inevitable. I think maybe it happens tonight. You circled September 24th in your calendar and you'll never forget this night at guaranteed rate field. Well, you know, Hawk was always history, right? History could be made in the wrong fashion. I'm curious also is how, who's, are people going to go to the game? Dave, you know, I think it's like, I think we talked about Thursday. It's a day game and crochet throws. So if there's somehow that they can make this go until then, that would be pretty fun. A day game with crochet, see if crochet gets kind of fired up for the game and not want to be on the mound when that goes down. It, unfortunately, it's going to happen and we'll see how people react to it. Yeah. It's already happened in my mind. This is not any kind of breaking news. This is just the day it happens. I think the season will go down in history. I don't think any single day. Any one loss will go down as oh, do you remember that day? Oh, I'll never forget that day and say no, no, don't really care, don't really, I won't be, I mean, I'll be aware when it happens. So I'm not planning on watching it. I don't want to pay for the campfire shake, I'm not going out there. Yeah, this is, there's no joy in Mudville. So you won't, yeah, I mean, we are, I suppose, required to talk about it. Jerry Reinsurf's team, Jerry Reinsurf's mission, his goal achieved. We should hear from him. Wasn't he going to talk? Didn't he threaten it? Didn't he talk? At the end of the season. Yeah, not tonight though. Oh, no. We should get him out there. He should be the, he should be maybe having him throughout the first pitch. That'd be something. Give me. As a leader, I think you shy away from those questions. Word is the Cubs plan on adding a free agent starter via free agency in this off season. But if you could give them one other player, what position would you choose? Do they need a power bat? Or slug, a closer, a late inning reliever? What is the team's greatest need? I think I give them a bullpen relief. And I don't know if that's a closer or not. I don't know that they want to spend on a closer per se. But I think that's what they need. I think when you look at the number of blown saves, and let's be honest about it. They worked all in the ninth inning. But I think that if they could trim that in half, and I don't know, you know, is hodged the guy? I mean, do you feel like they are prepared to have enough of a group that they can handle that aspect of it next year? I don't know that you need to sign this year's Hector Neris, but they need help in that area. And if I could give them something, it would be help in that area. And I don't think they want to spend $20 million on that kind of a player. But I think that they need help in that area more so than anything else. I mean, you'd love to see more slug, you'd love to see them get another power bat. We talked about that. They don't seem like they, it seems like they've got a lot of players coming up. But not like anybody. It's not like they've got like a six-war player, even in their whole group. And so that means everybody needs to be good for you to be successful. You'd love for them to have that kind of player, but I don't think they're going to be able to go out there. There's only like 13 of them in the league or something. Is that what the number was? So I don't, I think it's harder to get. But I would say if I could give them anything, it would be a reliable arm in the bullpen that would lessen whatever their needs are and hopefully aid them in getting more saves. Yeah, I believe it's 27 one run losses. So I think if you had that guy, if you cut that in half, you cut that in half, the Cubs are in the postseason, right? They're in, they're in the postseason. We're talking Cubs baseball equal to bears today if they had a guy in the back of that bullpen. I think they need us, everybody needs a slugger, but molly, to your point, you can get that back into the bullpen guy for a much cheaper cost than that slugger. Maybe, but not to go full bigs on you here, but I don't know that there's anything at the closer store worth shopping for. I don't know who's on the market that you say, Oh, yeah, this is a, this is the guy that's going to solve all the problems. Josh Hader isn't walking through that door. How about the kid on the A's? Similar is not a free agent, well, but, but the Cubs have a lot of stuff, right? Well, if you want to trade for a guy like Mason Miller, yeah, go out and get Mason Miller and then get everybody used to seeing 104 mile per hour fastball as a regular field. That's great. But I think when you look at via free agency as a question sort of address, there's not a free agent out there that says, okay, automatic upgrade. If you want to finagle a trade for Mason Miller, good luck, Jed, in doing that, the A's would be, I think, low to give up somebody like they would be a blockbuster might be worth it. I think that you look at, you have to, again, everybody's got a role to play it until they tell us they're not going to be in the market for a big bat or a big ticket free agent. Then you got to keep asking the question about, are they in the Juan Soto conversation? Probably not. What's Peter Lanzo going to do next year? Is he going to be a guy that is out there? Well, you know what? If he is on the market, yes, bring him to Riggly Field so he can hit 45 home runs. You need a big bat. They lacked a big bat. Jed talked yesterday in Philly to the beat writers and about the 90 win roster that Craig Council says the Cubs should be having every season. And he's right. Both guys know that you help, you help get your team better and closer to that by going on and getting Peter Lanzo, somebody who can hit a lot of home runs, somebody that is a power bat, maybe Vlad Guerrero, that'd be likely a trade. But that would be my first priority and then probably closer. I don't know where this talk about needing a free agent pitcher. It's going to be a long-term contract for a starter. And I don't know if that makes any sense and I know Corbin Burns will be a name you hear a lot of. I don't know that he's going to be coming to Chicago. You know how that's a great question. Oh, that's the voice of the head coach of the Alana. I brought Belama. We'll be here at 725, Illinois beat Nebraska Friday night, moved up in the AP poll to number 19. Notre Dame survived Miami of Ohio, kept their spot, but was far from impressive. NIU lost to Buffalo in their first game back since upsetting Notre Dame. What was the most significant game from this weekend's college football league? Well, I think you could have almost predicted that NIU was going to have some sort of let down. It's a shame that they did in that conference. So it's pretty even. So matching strikes again, they lose the Buffalo Notre Dame struggled. I think 28 to 3 doesn't say they struggled, but anybody watched that game in the first half, you started the wonder, oh boy, here we go again. Miami of Ohio was competitive and then they weren't. So I didn't feel like that was anything worth more than maybe a shrug. What Illinois did at Nebraska against Dylan Ruyola and Matt Rule and the resurgent Corn Huskers on Friday night was, well, one of those moments in a season, you wonder if it's a turnaround moment for the program. We came into the season with Brett Bilema, we're talking to him at 7.25, but we talked to him about needing to have this kind of a start. And you know what the line I did, they went out and they had this kind of a start. That's significant. When the line I ranked in the top 25 and now the top 20, you give him credit. They're doing it with the quarterback and Altmeyer is getting things done. The defense has been better than advertised. And that is something in the Big Ten. You look at the surprise teams, Illinois, along with Indiana, right near the top of that list. Well, for me, it was Illinois by a landslide that was a very entertaining game Friday night. Not a fan of the Friday night football, but I did pay close attention to that game. And again, Brett Bilema, I'm with you guys at 7.25. Yeah, watch that game. That was a huge game. I'm going to go a little bit of a twisted route here. I'm going to say North Carolina losing to James Madison so badly. North Carolina, favored by 12 in the hook in that game. They lost 70 to 50. They gave up 50 points in the first half of that game in Mac Brown after the game talked about retiring. He actually told the team that if they want him to retire, he would leave. And he has in the interim apologized and said he regrets saying it. But what do we say about guys? He's a Mac Brown, 73 years old. Yeah. What do we say about people? Once you have retired in your mind, you have retired in your mind for good. I mean, that loss knocked him out of college football as far as I can tell. And whether he sticks around for the rest of the year goes in the off season, whether he decides to put it up with another year of it, that's the end game now for Mac Brown, not that it wasn't before, but man, is that a bad loss when your coach is ready to hang up the whistle at halftime and you give James Madison $500,000 for showing up. That's right. Yeah. We know what those games are like. So classic college football game to just, I saw that result and I was like, I thought I'd misread it. It was a blowout, the one that nobody expected. You would think when you scheduled James Madison, you might see a 70 point showing, but maybe by the team that, you know, it's the home team, the power five team. All right, we got one more. We got the extra point. We're going to talk about it. It's a good one. It's related to the most important position on the field and all the guys whose names we've been mentioning earlier.

Because in the end of the day, I think the commanders got their guy. Caleb Williams, is that put more pressure on him? I don't know if it's possible to put more pressure on Caleb Williams than what he already is facing coming into the season, deemed as the savior for this franchise, and they're asking him to do a lot already. They're asking him to diagnose the past protection or the past rush and set up the protection and then be accurate and do all the things that experienced veteran quarterbacks typically do. He's a rookie and they're asking him a lot because I think they feel like he can handle a lot and I still think he can. I don't think this is going to be a situation where like Patrick Mahomes, you look at him as the one that got away in the 2017 draft. I don't think that we're going to look at Jayden Daniels as the one that got away. I think Caleb Williams is going to have a career that's comparable to Jayden Daniels. Both guys are going to grow into Pro Bowl caliber quarterbacks. The ones that got away to me last night, as much of we're going to talk about Jayden Daniels, you wonder about Dan Quinn not being the guy that got the job when Matt Eberflu got it over him and Quinn was a finalist and certainly Cliff Kingsbury. The guy with a cool house calling all the plays. He interviewed for the job as a play caller for the Bears. Those are the guys that got away too. Is Trace Armstrong the agent for either of those two guys? We could talk about that later. If you want October the 27th speaking of this rivalry or maybe rivalry, the Bears are at the commanders October 27th so the hype around that will be huge. I wonder if last year's number one overall pick and his build and where he played football in comparison to where Jayden Daniels played football, meaning in the SEC, they're both kind of slight guys. I wonder if his ineffectiveness had anything to do with downgrading Jayden Daniels? Maybe maybe not, but something that I'm thinking. I don't know where that would come from. He's a lot taller than. But they're very skinny. They both played on teams that have a ton of guys in the NFL. The height issue is the one that was of concern with Bryce Young and still remains. At any rate, I think that they have not punted in two games. Wow. When your quarterback calls your punter, tell them, "Hey, we're not going to need you." It would have been true in Washington if they had drafted a punter. They haven't punted and they've scored on every possession. I mean, look, the guy completed 91.3% of his passes or something. This is just absurd. It's a crazy, near-perfect game. I don't know how you don't look at it and just say, "Wow, did you even look at him? Did you even talk to him? Did you for a second? You didn't even come in. You didn't spend two minutes with him. Couldn't you have just looked? Couldn't you have? Did you break down the tape and then conclude? There's something wrong here and we're not. We don't want that. I don't know. I think everything's on the table. I think the coach question's on the table. I think the assistant coach question's on the table. The fact that you didn't talk to the guy is on the table, you better make sure that your guy works out. Caleb Williams better work out because it sure seems like this kid's working out. It doesn't seem like they got the wrong offensive coordinator or there's any issues going on behind the scenes. Seems pretty comfortable in what he's doing and they're calling the right place. I'm not willing to dismiss Caleb Williams, but I mean, mother of God, this is pretty special what this kid's doing. He's special. He looks special. Can you imagine the reaction to the puzzle? Generational talent? Yeah. I think that's a term that triggers a lot of people. What that means is that he's the best player at that position in a generation of Washington quarterbacks and then if you wanted to call him that in DC, go ahead because I think it seems to have, well, it's going to apply at some point in time. Can you imagine the reaction to Chicago? If the Bears would have selected Jaden Daniels ahead of Caleb Williams, what that off season would have been like? It might have been great. I mean, I don't, I think that I think they had the ability to do that. I don't think anybody was going to light torches and march on and you know, let me ask them. Let's say that they had done that. Let's say they took Jaden Daniels, would they have to get rid of Justin Fields, could they have had two quarterbacks, didn't part of what they did get rid of Fields because they wanted to. I think they got rid of Fields because they were ready to move on at the position. Yeah. I don't think that keeping Fields was a, was it was a, it was untenable for new, regardless of who you drafted. I think they should have gotten more for, well, that's a different conversation. Well, that was my only conversation about it. You could have maybe gotten more for me if you would, but I, but I don't think keeping him. They kept them and then gave them away. I mean, that's what I didn't understand. Yeah, I don't think they end up getting a fourth. I don't think that drafting your rookie quarterback and keeping Justin Fields made a lot of sense. Yeah, I don't, I don't know if you were ready to turn the keys over, get the keys to the rookie quarterback. I mean, I just think that you could have done that if you're so chose. I don't think it would have been the worst idea in the world. I mean, and I said that at the time, I felt like unless you were getting value for the guy, the guy had some value and he could help you in different ways, even if it wasn't at the quarterback. It turns out he's doing okay a quarterback, but you know, they don't play that style anyway, right? It's just interesting. Don't play that style. No, but it's interesting to see what is going on around where they're at. And I don't think you can put any more pressure on Caleb Williams. The pressure is already there. He knows it. He puts pressure on himself and will just monitor everything moving forward. It's a hack of a story. I know that three, one, two, six, forty four, sixty seven, sixty seven. That's the telephone number. And get to your calls, Molly, and all in the score. I think you want to focus on the day to day operation of your preparation and be where your feet are. And I think that's, you know, expectations are always going to be out there and they are outside in. I'll take the force and he's got to really do a good job. We have to do a really good job of working from the inside out and preparing for the Rams and learning from our experience from yesterday. So that's where I think he is and that's where I think we need to be. Molly and ha Chicago sports radio six, seventy, the score. That is Matt Hebrew flows. He's the Bears coach. He's talking about the pressure on Caleb Williams based on expectations. And that was yesterday before the pressure got jacked up. Oh, before we got jacked up a notch by the greatest single, what is related to the other? The pressure on Caleb Williams would be reduced if you could protect him and given the time to throw that maybe guys like Jaden Daniels typically get that offensive line for the Washington commanders did a nice job. Would you agree with that? No, it was all Jaden. He's a needle line. He is definitely a gifted special talent and he's going to have a great career. It looks like and he had a terrific breakout game, but he was sacked only twice. He was not under a lot of pressure. He is very elusive. How about the nice nod and shout out that Nick Allegretti got from Troy Aikman and Joe Buck talking about the Chiefs. Yes. Offensive lineman friend of the program. Yes. The side of the line I went to the Washington commanders starting on an offensive line that is very good. And you want to talk about second guessing guys who ended up elsewhere? Why didn't the Bears go after him? Well, that's a really good question. He's only from here. He's a local guy. He's only a Super Bowl champion. He was interested in the Bears and the guy that they chose basically over him, Ryan Bates, has yet to really contribute in a meaningful way in the offensive line is in shambles for the Bears. So a lot of things to look at and second guess when you watched that game last night. But as we said during the break, Molly, and it bears repeating and bringing to the air. You said it. I agreed. I said it. You agreed. If the Bears were right about Caleb Williams and he is a quarterback that succeeds, it really doesn't matter what happens with any other quarterback drafted in his same class. And Jayden Daniels can ascend and become a star too. The rest of it is noise that we have to acknowledge right now because it is interesting. But if Caleb Williams is good, it's kind of noise. It's easy to ignore. This is a fun one. Would Daniels be doing this well with the Bears with this team and would Caleb be excelling in Washington? What do you think? Yes and yes. I think I think that you rubbed my mind there. Yes. Yes. And yes. So Caleb Williams would be doing this in Washington. Yes. He'd be doing well for his hometown team for his old coach. Yeah. I think he would actually. He'd be succeeding with Jayden Daniels be running for his life in Chicago. He'd be able to and he'd do it and he would be prone to an injury that you would hope it wouldn't happen. You'd have wasted a fourth round pick on a punter. They did. I don't want to go there either. I'm just having fun. I know. It's September 24th and you are already out on Torrey Taylor. No. That's my guy. I wanted that pick. Don's on the West side. Hey, Don. Hey, good morning, gentlemen. Yeah. Yeah. I was watching the game, man. I just think that you know, that Jayden, Jayden Daniels performance man is more so on the play call in the game and it's like, I mean, not to say he's not a, you know, the quarterback or whatnot, but I just think that yeah, if he was with the Bears, just you know, he'd definitely be running for his life and it definitely feels 2.0 and speaking of fields, I mean, we want to go down that rabbit hole, you know, I was saying, you know, and I'm not saying it's the right decision that would have been made, but I was saying no, when it was draft time, I okay, well, we could have got a Marvin Harrison who's, you know, I don't and we could have fixed the offensive line with more picks, you know, that number one overall pick would have been worth a whole hell of a life. So I just think that it doesn't do us, you know, either revisiting that because then it brings a glaring hole back to the Ryan Poe's, my okay, well, what's so, it's a decision-making. Why didn't you bring in Cliff Kingsbury who's familiar with your rookie quarterback and to help you through these tough struggles and get a game plan that he's comfortable with. Why did you hire Mattie for fluke? Why didn't you fire Mattie for fluke? Why is Bailey, you know, the question is going on. So I'd rather not even do that rabbit hole thing. Yeah. I'd just rather just say, you know, okay, Kayla Williams, okay, from week one to week three, he looks so more comfortable. He's not, you know, rushing things or he's being sped up, but he himself is not rushing things. So the season now becomes about exactly the season now comes about Kayla Williams and less about the bears making a play off that until they show up. It's a great call, as always, Don. It really is. And I mean, honestly, let's just go for a second, funny mirror. Let's say they trade the first overall pick and don't take the quarterback. Right. And now they got a pick coming next year and they got a haul. Okay. Didn't they do that already? Yes. Are we now going to start talking about? You're afraid to take a quarterback, you're afraid of a quarterback. Right. That that's why I hesitate in even going down that rabbit hole because of what it ignores to do that. Yes. I will say this about Justin Fields in Pittsburgh and Jaden Daniels in Washington because those are guys that we're going to talk about and obviously naturally compare to what's going on with Kayla Williams in Chicago. Bears repeating the coaching matters in the NFL in a big way. And I don't I'm not out on what's going on with Shane Waldron yet. I think it's too early and premature to jump ship, but I do think that they are off to a shaky start. Yes. What you have seen in Pittsburgh is the power of Arthur Smith and Mike Tomlin and the effect on Justin Fields structure stability, predictability, consistency. What you've seen in Washington is the creativity and the ability of Cliff Kingsbury empowered by Dan Quinn, the head coach to get the most out of Jaden Daniels in that offense. Coaching matters in the NFL and you're seeing that when you're comparing these three quarterbacks. Did you see Terry McLaughlin, Terry McLaughlin came out yesterday and said that he went to Kingsbury and said, Hey, throw me that ball in the end zone. I'm open call that play and the guy calls the play quarterback throws a pill touchdown. I mean, come on, man, that's that that's things working. That's people working together. That's an open, good feeling going on. That's not tight and sphincters and let's all just sit here and study body language and measuring frustration. DJ Moore has that capability to be that guy in Chicago for Kayla Williams. I think he can be. I think he kind of is, but what you're saying is, you know, maybe why isn't DJ going to fall to know, I think that's what you're saying, I'm saying, well, ask the next one. Hey, DJ, Molly says you should talk more. You're beautiful. All right. We got big time next. We'll bring it big. He get his take on all that's going on. Mullion on the score.
