Which Bears player, besides Caleb Williams, needs to have a big game to give Chicago a chance against the Rams?
THE SCORE!
It's time for five on Leila Raheemi and Marshall Harris with Mark Grove. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On Chicago Sports Radio, 670 the score. Number one.
That's right, it's five on it, and you're listening to a four seasons heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electric football Friday presented by Podwanae Casino Hotel and Chicago Roofing Contractors.org. So, big game on Sunday. So we asked the question, which Bears player, other than quarterback Caleb Williams, needs to have a big game to give Chicago a shot at beating the Rams in Sunday's divisional round game at Soldier Field.
I think I've said this before, a timer two thousand, and I guess I'm gonna say it again because passing game, do your thing, Caleb Williams, I trust that you will distribute the ball accordingly. I'm going to once again say the Bears have not been able to run the ball like they have previously run the past few weeks. I would hope that DeAndre Swift has a big game. That is going to help with time of possession. It helps with keeping the Rams off the field. It's going to help a guy like Theo Benedet play left tackle when he hasn't been in previously for a few weeks. So, all of that considered, I think DeAndre Swift. Not just with running the ball, but with the screen game and trying to extend important drives early in this game, especially in the weather.
I'm hoping that happens. Do I expect it to? No. But I think it is a good sign if it happens. That is a good indication that the offense is in a healthy place early, even though we know they can do many things late.
Last week we talked about turnovers and one of my, well, I think my key to the game was be plus two on turnovers and they were minus two on turnovers. And they still found a way to win the game. I I can't see that happening a second straight week. That is the Bears winning the game without having the advantage in turnovers, just because that's how they built their resume this season that's gotten to them to this point. So I think the player that needs to have The biggest game to me Is Nashawn right. And I think it's it's twofold. Create a turnover and don't be on the wrong end of an explosive play. When you're talking about Puka Nakua and Devontae Adams, that can't be you, bruh. You can't be the one. A lot of that does depend on what happens up front with the pass rush and also Dennis Allen and his scheming and being able to make the most out of the return of Kyler Gordon and now CeeDee Gardner Johnson.
But at the end of the day, the reason that Tyreek Stevenson is being beat out for snaps by Nashawn Wright is because they believe in his playmaking ability. So in this game, with the season on the line, Nashawn Wright's got to be one out here making plays.
You and I are thinking similarly, conceptually, somebody on the defense has to make a huge play, maybe multiple huge plays, or you're not going to win the game. Is it gonna be you, Montez Sweat? Is it gonna be you, Kevin Bayard? Is it gonna be you, Lieutenant Weinberg? I am going with, ready for this? Austin Booker. I see it. You see what I'm saying? Like he is aggressive.
In a good way.
Yeah, he is aggressive. He is amped up. He's got a nose for the football. I'd like to see him stop the run a little bit more. But right now, for our purposes, I think Austin Booker has to have a big game for the Bears to beat the Rams on Sunday.
Number two.
A bill was introduced in the Indiana State Senate on Thursday that would establish the necessary funding to pay for the construction of a new Bears Stadium. Senate Bill 27 would establish the funding mechanism for the stadium authority to build a new future home for the Bears in Indiana. In response, the beared issue the Bears issued the following statement. around a potential stadium development in Chicago's Northwest Indiana region. We appreciate the leadership and responsiveness of Governor Braun and Indiana lawmakers in advancing a framework that allows these conversations to move forward productively. Unquote So, on a scale of one to ten, on the seriousness meter trademark, how would you rate the state of the Bears push to make Northwest Indiana the home of the team's new stadium site?
