Hey, Mark, Marshall.

How are you guys doing?

We are doing well.

It's still June, right?

To me, the biggest thing, they set up their offense to really take a big jump, as much of a jump as they took last year.

If I'm looking at anything, I know their defense, they have questions, and they did fortify it with their first-round pick, but I think their offense is going to be kind of the star of the show and what they're going to hang their hat on, and I think that's kind of one of those things.

People ask, well, what are you looking for at training camp?

Training camp's training camp, but...

I'm looking to see an offense that kind of hits the ground running.

This is the best offense that has returned for the Bears since Mark Trestman's second year, maybe even better than that.

This is unusual circumstances.

The Bears should not be on training wheels on offense at training camp, and I'm expecting them to kind of, like I said, be the star of the show and kind of be their anchor.

Yeah, so right now I think that was the biggest thing of the offseason is that it's year two, and they have the best offense they've had in a long time.

Yeah, probably the Adam Gase year, I think.

I remember being the one where the offense, I think, you know, was, you know, really looking good and he was looking like a different quarterback.

But even then, you know, they're at a higher stage, higher level coming into this season than they were then.

And I still think that the defense being ahead of the odds, that's...

It's one of the clichés.

It's one of the realities of the offseason.

But I just don't think it'll be the issue like it's been before, somewhat contentious in recent years with Fields and Trubisky, where what's wrong with this offense?
