Oh, my pleasure.

I'm looking forward to it.

Well, I think you get a pretty good idea of what they did, and you can remember that, you know, but there's nothing, you know, the elephant in the room is simply this, Anthony, you know, the best defensive player on the planet, you know, isn't going to play in this football game, and he has been

disruptive like nobody else all year long.

He has pressured the quarterback more than all the defensive front for the Green Bay Packers combined.

I was looking into this game and what that would look like and how different things would be.

I think it could be really a little more confusing for the Chicago Bears early on simply because

For the longest time this year, Jeff Hathaway did not have to scheme up any sort of blitzes.

He was bringing four guys, and they were going to play coverage, and they were going to let the linebackers do their thing, but they weren't bringing a lot of pressure.

And so the blitz tape that Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson are looking at this week don't have a lot of plays on there.

There isn't a lot going on.

It's been the Micah Parsons show.

When you double-team them, that opened up a lot of one-on-ones for everybody else to get after the quarterback as well.

Mike only had 12.5 sacks this year, but his pressures were through the roof.

He was just creating things that he needed to do.

So it wouldn't surprise me if you see a lot of five, six-man pressures early in the game, things that Caleb Williams may have not seen so far this year.

It would be really important that him and Ben get on the same page on the tablet on the sideline after the first couple series.

Don't get too disappointed if they go three and out or if they make some early throwaways and things like that.

As long as they don't compound it

with a turnover or a mistake, I think that they'll get an idea of what the defense and Jeff Apley are trying to do against them in this game.
