Emory Hunt

But maybe one of these young guys gets a chance to step up in the preseason and gets an increased role.

or now you have to hit the free agency market.

Firstly, if I'm picking up what you're putting down, it sounds like I need to be the next GM or head coach in Chicago when these two guys move on.

So I will be fully willing to have that conversation.

Secondly, if everybody's getting injured, we have to take a strong, hard look at our strength and conditioning program, not throwing those guys under the bus.

Maybe it's the cuisine in Chicago, which is phenomenal, by the way, but sometimes you've got to look at what else are we doing if everybody keeps getting hurt.

And so football and injuries are a freak occurrence.

You can't just plan for an injury.

It's just random things happen.

But there may be something to the lines of your training and how they're going about treatment and recovery.

They may have to look at that in all seriousness because that could be the potential issue, especially if a lot of guys are having sort of the same type of injuries.

And I think that's something they're going to have to look in behind the scenes.

But if you're asking for these guys, these guys are chomping at the bit.

We're talking about an NFL roster that has guys like I talked about Hardy, you know, that was the star in college.

Now he's relegated to playing a backup special teams role.

A guy like DeMarco Jackson, Sunbelt Defensive Player of the Year.

And he's relegated to special teams.

And when he gets the opportunity, he has to, you know, go out there and go.

And so I do feel like we'll see that happen.

And I do feel like we'll see them have answers for when these guys get out there on the field.
