Do you consider that to be an easier path to overcoming the regression than the other candidates that you named that obviously had good seasons last year?

We basically pull a card out of an envelope on a Friday and that determines what happens in the next week.

Danny Parkins joins us here on Rahimi Harris and Grody.

You can check out Danny on the newly expanded First Things First OT from 4 to 5 p.m.

daily on FS1.

Danny, here's my issue.

I was looking at a graphic and I was talking to Grody about this.

I look at the departures.

I look at the additions.

I understand what you're saying about aging guys and guys that you don't know how healthy Jaquan Brisker is going to be for the remainder of his career.

But it just feels like the Bears are coming up short, and it leads me to this one fundamental question.

Do you trust Ryan Poles to draft defensive linemen who are good?

Because I haven't seen Ryan Poles draft defensive linemen who are good.

But I think that the guiding principle of Ben Johnson is what makes me wonder, OK, I know Ben Johnson's here now, and that's why the offense went the way it did in last year's draft.

Now that you need a defensive focused draft, can he do the same thing on defense based on what we've seen?

I guess maybe do you trust Dennis Allen the same way you trust Ben Johnson?

There was no stir over here.

I was not stirred.

Wow.

So two of three there.
