It's time for five on it.
Rahimi, Harrison,
Rhode. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On
1043, the score.
What? Number one. We are broadcasting live from Gallagher Way here at Wrigley Field. It's Mark Grody. It's Gabe Ramirez. It's five on it. This hour brought to you by Visectomy Clinics of Chicago. Here's question number one. Which Bears player will you be most focused on during the Bears preseason opener on Saturday? All right, assuming he plays, and I I believe he should play in this game, the player that I will be most focused on, and maybe I'll even broaden it to the position of safety, is Dylan Theater.
Dude, you stole my name. Okay. Oh really? You know okay, you're not staying stay with us. Okay,
I will, but I'm gonna tell you my process here in just a second. But Dylan Thieneman is the one I want to see because he hit he's a rookie, he's a first rounder, he has run in camp from what when I have had eyes on, and I've been to three or four practices so far in this training camp. He has been running hot and cold. There were some cold moments for him when I was at the practice Tuesday. There were some nice moments for him on Tuesday. I want to see what He looks like against another team. And when I could really zero in on him from the press box, which is a better view than what we have out there at Hallis Hall at times. Sometimes we don't get the greatest views.
Which Bears player should fans focus on for the preseason opener?
It's ground level. So I'm gonna be focused on that. And even if it if it's not Dylan Thieneman, I want to see how this plays out with Xavier Woods and Cam Lewis and some of the younger safeties who, as Ben Johnson said, You the there are players that will have a chance to shine and maybe be the next Nishon Wright. And just quickly on my process game, I was originally you know you know what? Forget it. I'm not even gonna tell you 'cause I don't want to again take steal your guy. There was a guy that I was going to say, but I thought I would be stealing it from you. Oh, I see.
Gabe, who is who you're doing. Dylan Thieneman is the is the correct answer to the question. To be very fair. Yes. That is the correct answer because you want to see how he's gonna work without a Kobe Bryant. You wanna see what kind of impact the rookie's gonna make on his own, what he's learned, what kind of impact he's gonna make on this team. You wanna say his name. Yes. And so Dylan Thieneman is the correct answer, but I'm gonna go with Devin Bush. Okay. Because here's the reason: if Dylan Thieneman's supposed to be a Swiss Army knife that can play in the box. can you know obviously help you out Devin Bush is supposed to be the guy who as opposed to Tremaine Edmonds to have some tackles for a loss to be that run stuffer to be that more physical presence in the middle of this defense and let's not forget he's the new leader the guy calling the place he's gonna be how are you gonna be as the the Mike linebacker commanding this defense so my eyes will be on him because let's be very clear we can talk
Talk about the injuries to the guys that are no longer there, but there are individuals that are there. Yeah. And they need to make an impact and Devin Bush certainly won it.
Here's what stands like for Bears fans going to the game and and you watch Devin Bush, here's what's weird about Devin two things. He wears number twelve, which is the oddest linebacker number uh of of all time. I just think of Allen Robinson or Eric Kramer, fill in your your various number twelves through the years. And he's small. Like and especially relative to Tremaine Edmonds, who's the you know, he was a a long dude, like big, tall guy, which He used all of it, but the speed stands out. The guy that I was initially going to say that I'm looking forward to watching, but I thought 100% you were going to say it was Logan Jones. Because you brought up Logan Jones earlier. That's a guy that I am going to be focused on as well because he's not going to start for the Bears this year at center, but I do want to see what they have in the Iowa product.
Yeah, he has a longer leash than most, so that's why I'm I'm not too concerned.
