They're two best offensive linemen for almost the entire season, okay?

So my point is the Bears had their share of injuries.

It's not like they had no injuries when you know there's going to be correction, but it's where you get them.

If it's Tooney and Dallman injured next year, you've got a totally different season.

Yeah.

Then you had this totally different situation.

So they were fortunate.

So I think even though they had their share of injuries, they were fortunate.

So I guess my point, if I can remember what I was talking about, was that's the one X factor.

Talk about their offense.

I think their offense is absolutely primed to take a major step next year because they have a young quarterback who should get better.

But injuries will tell you everything.

We'll tell the tale.

Well, and to your point about the – it's a great thing you bring up about replacement parts on the Bears.

The Bears, good teams have good depth, and that's one – and you're right.

If they had lost their center and their left guard, who knows what happens.

Do they have that kind of depth to sustain for the season?

I don't know, but there's all sorts of examples all over the field, especially on defense, especially in that secondary, which we know had its issues this year, but held together with playmakers like –

Deshaun Wright stepping in and doing terrific work in terms of having a nose for the football.

I don't know if you mentioned because you were given like lots of good examples, but DeMarco Jackson, he made a name for himself stepping in for TJ Edwards.
