He's seen Ben Johnson seems like to me as a coach that knows everything.

You know, sometimes you bring an offensive coordinator in as a head coach and that's kind of all they know.

And they know maybe clock management.

But he seems like a guy that knows defense, offense, and special teams.

And I just would like to know how much of his influence has been on Coach Hightower as well.

But more on the special teams, guys.

This week, the Rams, they fired their special teams coordinator after week 15, I believe it was.

And they have bad special teams.

They are not very good.

They've been leaky, gave up a punt block last week.

So I'm putting a lot on Richard Hightower and his game plan this week to see what he can do to help the Bears win this game.

It's a big one for Coach Hightower.

Yes, it's a big one.

I mean, they've changed their kicker.

They've done a lot of stuff, and they've got guys on their roster.

I was looking at some of the tape, and I'm like, who is this guy?

And you've got to go down to their practice squad to find these guys that are elevating before the game.

And if your practice squad guys are coming up the week before, that just tells you how many limited reps they've had that week and or that season in the games to get ready for these games, and you can take advantage of those guys.

One more week.

Let's do one more of these, and then let's do one more after that, and let's just keep it going.
