What Bears business is being discussed before diving into the Cubs?
The Cubs are really hot, and we're going to get to them in a little bit, but we've got some Bears business to take care of today. This segment is brought to you by AlmostFreeTeeth.com. Save on dental implants today. Here's question number one.
How hot are they?
Red hot.
But we're getting to them. They're so hot. You're supposed to.
Oh, we'll do that. Come on, Ray. Before question two, we're going to do it. We're going to workshop the question. But here's question number one. What was your biggest takeaway from Bears coach Ben Johnson's rookie minicamp press conference?
He wishes Zay Frazier well in his future endeavors. It was probably the thought process behind Sam Roush, but here's the best part. I don't even necessarily know that we needed the explanation. To watch Ben's offense is to know him. So it made perfect sense as to why they wanted Sam Rauch. I just said to myself, self, I'm not quite sure in the draft equation that third round pick replaces Durham Smythe. But then again, I don't know the ceiling on this offense. I don't know how far it can fly. So maybe Ben does. And then he sees this as a piece that can take it flying farther and farther into the sky and the reaches.
To the reaches.
Yes. I don't even know what that means. But you see what I'm saying.
I do. I do see what you're saying. And yeah, it is still okay to look at Sam Rauch and be like, third round?
Really? Third round?
You get your third tight end? It's still.
The math doesn't math to me. As one who likes logic and order and sense making.
Yeah.
What were the key takeaways from Bears coach Ben Johnson's rookie minicamp press conference?
I'm like, I don't know. This seems awfully far to fly. It seems real far.
That said, I stand by what I said. Do, do, do. Yeah. That Dylan Thienemann and Sam Rauch are the only guys who are exact in this rookie class because I pretty much got a good idea of what they can do and how they can contribute. The rest of them, I don't know. That said, my biggest takeaway from what Ben Johnson said today pertained to Logan Jones, and that is... The question, Logan Jones, ladies and gentlemen, he is the second round center out of Iowa who right now lines up behind Garrett Bradbury on the depth chart. But does he? Does he? And today Ben Johnson was asked about what it's going to take for Logan Jones to get on the field. And he said, this is just the beginning, ladies and gentlemen, time will tell.
Ball is in his court. There's going to be a lot more questions about that. This was just the beginning. But I am curious to see if Logan Jones will have a legitimate chance to start at center for the Bears over Garrett Bradbury. We're not going to know that until we see how the reps go down in training camp starting at about July 21st.
Do you hear me pensively tapping my Starbucks cup that is filled with a nonfat sugar-free latte?
Did you guys thank Layla for your breakfast?
Thank you, Layla. It's not why I do this.
Did you thank mom? Nope.
Stop. Okay, so here's the thing. Is that that is a very coachy McCoacherson type of thing to say.
What time will tell.
The ball's in his court. The ball's in your court. And then you just look at him and wink and smile. And that is motivation.
Up to you, kid.
Yeah. He's like, I don't know. Hey, man. How far can you fly?
Right. We're not penciling you in, but hey.
Yeah, balls in your court, okay? Like, we know about the Iowa centers who have come before you.
He even mentioned that. He was like, it seems like those Iowa centers stay forever.
We all know who he's talking about, Tyler Linderbaum. We know. We know.
By the way, the clock is ticking on Logan Jones' biological clock. He is 24.5 years old.
Let's not ascribe a time to anyone's biological anything.
Okay, you want to go back to talking about Jesus? Is that what you want to do?
I mean, I did think that your conversation about the potential, God seems like a really good guy.
Yeah. I mean, just from all accounts, and I know you talk to people, I talk to people, sounds like he's genuinely a good guy.
He seems to always know what I was going to say. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird.
Yeah.
Omnipresence. At least he's not giving the Cubs the division, okay?
