Jeff Schwartz

just played last year.

All the takeaways and the value of what they were doing on the back end without a pass rush.

But those guys just made plays in that Bears secondary.

It's an exciting situation for him to step into.

I was certainly hopeful they were going to find someone else to start at safety beyond Cam Lewis.

And I don't know, maybe Cam Lewis turns in the best year of his career, but is he a nickel?

Is he a safety?

Is he a corner?

He's done a bunch of different things in his career.

Most of that, I believe, with the Buffalo Bills prior to now.

But the Bears drafting a safety who we can pencil in as their starter is a really good thing for this defense.

And I would make the case that Al Harris found a way for all these different defensive backs between injuries to the starting lineup and having no pass rush.

Al Harris still coached that secondary to be amongst the most productive in football last year.

Rami forced me to eat.

He bullied me into eating, so I began to eat.

We held up our end of the bargain on that one.

That'd be something right there if he had that kind of career.

Maybe a whole defense gets named after Dylan Thienemann at some point, as was the case with Doug

plank.

That'd be an exciting thing for the Bears if that ends up materializing during his time.
