Adam Hogue

What have the dirty kicks done for you, Cairo?

Yeah, it's a weapon.

The guys that have been able to successfully do it and get that ball to skip and go into the end zone for a touchback and teams have to start at the 20, that's a big difference than starting at the average 30 or 35 yards with a normal touchback.

It's a whole first down that you can give your defense.

So I get more hyped up of successfully executing one of those

than any field goals, but there's a risk that involves, too, so it's something that I'm still getting better at, and I imagine most teams will start adding that to their game because it's proven that teams like the Rams, the Panthers, ourselves, that do a lot of dirty balls, you gain an advantage.

And it also goes back to the special teams advantage that we know that the Bears, based on what's happened this season, have over the Rams.

And maybe one of those dirty kicks, because of the weather, because of how that affects your extremities, fingers included, maybe you have a little trouble picking up one of those kicks, and boom, Bears turn over.

I will go ahead and go first.

That way I know I can say I was copying Grody since everybody links our picks from a week ago.

I was like, I can't compete with that.

You know, guys, I walked into my 11-year-old son's hockey locker room on Sunday pregame.

And because they always play on Sunday, it was the first game I was actually able to attend.

And they were blasting Eminem in the locker room.

before the game.

And I was like, oh, okay.

And even the coach walked in like, wait a minute, is this a clean version?

And it actually was.

So maybe the kids are actually coming around and are going hard enough.
