Kids, man.

I was a little bit concerned about something Ben Johnson talked about today, where he talked about the offense and how hard it is to run.

on that talented front that you're talking about when you talk about the Los Angeles Rams.

I think we all have accepted that even though we want the Bears' identity to be the team that we saw play on Black Friday in Philadelphia with the 281 rushing yards, that's not what has happened since then.

And now I'm concerned that the fast starts that we wish they would get off to is very much tied to the fact that they have not been able to run the football as efficiently or as effectively.

Yeah, Marshall, I mean, I think you're not the only one, man.

You're not the only one concerned when you turn that film on and you watch the Chicago Bears run game right now and you go through Brian Young, Brady Fisk, Puna Ford, Kobe Turner, and Jared Burse, and they got a tough matchup on their plate.

But listen, you get to the playoff, man, it's time to slay Giants.

That's what we do in the playoffs.

You're not going to hide from the best teams.

You're not going to hide from the best players.

That's why they're in the playoffs.

The best teams are finally here.

Welcome to the fight, right?

Welcome to the tournament, man.

No one who's playing bad football is here.

So here we go, and how do we run the football?

And to be honest with you, you remember coming out of the bye week, they said they simplified the run game but put more looks in, more motions, more formations.

They confused the defense, but on their end, it was simple.

They knew what they were doing.
