Right.
And so like he now has this challenge, I think, in his second year with Ben, third year in the league.
of knowing what the priorities are.
And I think that's what's going to be key for us here in the spring and then as we walk into training camp is understanding through Ben's lens what are the things that he wants Caleb to do to take this big leap in 2026.
And I think there's a lot of layers to that, and yet Ben has a way of simplifying it and the way it communicates it so it's very direct for the player to know what he's after.
Right.
And listen, like the sack reduction was very real last year.
And it's an indicator of again, it's an indicator of coaching.

Instead of, wow, that wasn't a sack, and it was also a 25-yard gain.
And so I think as the Bears try to bring their scramble drill to life, that's going to be a component of the offense that could become really dangerous really quickly if everyone's on the same page.
And that's the targets that are out in pattern and reacting quickly and understanding how to create separation, actually catching the ball when it comes to them.
And then it's Caleb understanding that ball location, six inches off,
is not good enough.
You know, you've got to be precise and hit the bullseye.
And if you do that, now, all of a sudden, the production of everybody skyrockets.
