I did hear that speeding car.

Oh, podcasts in downtown Chicago, folks.

There is nothing like living in the great, big, beautiful city of Chicago.

I depend on these sounds.

No, I put the cat away.

The cat is sleeping in the closet right now.

Don't worry.

Yeah, and I mean, again, as I said, I think on our last podcast, and you just mentioned it, we need to mention that Caleb and Ben Johnson part every single time.

I don't want the Bears to have to depend too much on Caleb Williams to make this season right, to fix the holes that they've made.

might have this year but this might be a year in which they are doing that and I do understand the angst from Bears fans when there's an 11 win season and you and I have talked about it tons of times there's been too many times that

Yeah, the years where we see these pop up seasons where it's a great season and it's a one off and then it goes right back down to the bottom.

I do fear that.

And I think Bears fans, there's a little bit of Bears fan trauma that goes along that.

And reasonable reporters like us should have a little bit of that trauma as well.

Yeah.

I mean, let's see how they use him.

It seemed like towards the end of the season, they were using him more as an edge.

I should say more before he was injured.

You know, Austin Booker still could be something.

So to add them to Dio Dangbo and hopefully Montez Sweat continues as he did, came on strong towards the end of last year.
