This hour is brought to you by Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago. Number one.
You're listening to a Four Seasons Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and Electric Football Friday presented by Pottawatomie Casino Hotel and ChicagoRoofingContractors.org. Here is question number one on a wild card football Friday, baby. Which player, other than quarterback Caleb Williams, needs to have a big game in order for the Bears to have a shot at beating the Packers in Saturday's wild card game at Soldier Field?
DeAndre Swift. I said I wanted to run the ball more since I'm calling plays and all. I'm not calling plays. This is me just wanting to do things. But I do want the Bears to run the ball more. And I don't think that that's so much to ask for now, is it? Especially when you consider the weather. We haven't even talked about the weather. The wind is going to be really bad in this game, isn't it? You were on after Cheryl Scott this week, Marshall.
Yes, it's going to be windy on Saturday. Very windy. Gus, I think upwards of... 30 miles per hour?
If it was anything like last night where my building was swaying in the wind, gave me anxiety. Even though I know it's a thing and it happens in high rises or in earthquakes, I don't care. The point is wind is scary. It's also frustrating and it messes up your hair. So you know what the best antidote to all of those things is? To run the football. Even when it messes up your hair. You're just like, man, if I had just run the football, my day would have been so much easier. Put it under a helmet and go. Point being, gotta be DeAndre Swift. And you know what else? I mentioned I would love to see a running back screen in this game, and I know that that's a wishful thought. But dance with the one who brung you.
What are the key players to watch for the Bears in the wild-card game against the Packers?
Running DeAndre Swift helped bring you to this point. Use the man's skills to your advantage. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Okay. My answer is a little unconventional because, you know, my status quo for this answer all season has been who?
Montez Sweat. Right. And granted, if Montez Sweat has a big game, they might be in good shape. But I'm going to go back to the keys of the game where I told you all about the turnovers. Keys to the game. You've never heard that before. My guy is Kevin Byard. Because if Kevin Byard has a big game, that means maybe you didn't get beat deep like you did in Game 1 of this series this season. Maybe that means he picks off a couple of passes. Yeah, I said couple. You said big game, right? Interceptions, 8-9 for Kevin Byard for Grody's birthday. Bears. So I think if we're in here talking about Kevin Byard having a big game on Monday, what does that mean? That means that man was causing problems on the back end. thought about kevin as one of my keys i am going to select somebody from the secondary it's just so crucial that look you're you're gonna i mean the cliche you're just gonna contain i think jordan love and his many weapons that he has so i'm gonna go with guys this is tough
I'm going to say Jalen Johnson, and I know that that's rough because he's not himself and all that, but if there's one guy in the cornerback-wise that I expect, who's it going to be? Neshawn Wright's been struggling. Tyreek Stevenson has been sitting. Jalen Johnson, I know he has not been playing well, but he's going to have to find something. This is the find something week. I want to say Kyler Gordon, but I can't guarantee that he's playing.
How does weather impact the Bears' game strategy against the Packers?
For nothing else, I think about the Christian Watson slant play that C.J. Gardner-Johnson couldn't handle, and then it would be Kyler Gordon. I have to pick somebody from the secondary. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it's Jalen Johnson. I looked at all those guys. I'm sorry. Layla raised her hand, Marshall.
I didn't see her hand. You gotta look.
I was giving you eye contact. Because you two focus in on each other and you put me in the corner.
Sorry, Layla. You're our leader.
Just because the air is cold over here doesn't mean that I'm not here. Poor Layla. Do we have a bear's blanket for her? No, I don't need it today.
