But if you don't think in our business, there's not competition like, hey, I want to have the good games.

I want to be this guy.

I want to do that game.

Like, you're kidding yourself.

And you know what?

I don't know if I'd want an employee that doesn't have that kind of edge.

So I like what LaFleur and Ben are kind of maybe starting.

I think there's more of that in the league.

I think there's a lot of coaches that look at other coaches and go, and we kind of get the sideways look sometimes, too.

You know, we're in these meetings.

We may mention other coaches and they kind of roll their eyes or look to the side.

It's there.

I just think it's been more transparent and more animated with these two at the very early stages of this one-on-one, me against you, our team against yours, this franchise against our franchise type of situation.

Well, and that said, let's get it to Ben Johnson versus Sean McVay, and how in the world are the Bears going to stop this high-powered, super-impressive Rams offense?

You know, I don't know.

I was thinking about it flying up today home from Texas, and it's one of those games where I don't really think I've got a good feel.

Like in Seattle, San Francisco, that game,

Seattle's rested.

I think that they're healthier than San Francisco.

I just don't know how many more players the 49ers can lose.
