What are Allen Robinson's thoughts on the Bears potentially moving to Indiana?
Did the scouts expect you to be what you've become?
I don't think so. I don't think a lot of people did. For me, I definitely expected myself to play at this level.
But when did you know that you were good?
I've known since I was five years old.
Anderson twice keeping this thing alive.
Big plays.
Stafford, Robinson, chuck ball, touchdown. And now funny locker room stories. I don't know about any funny, man. Ben is a pretty serious locked in dude. You know, he's like that constantly. You know, Ben, every blue moon, you know, Ben will crack one of those kind of evil smiles, if you will.
With Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.
How did Allen Robinson feel about the Bears' performance during his time with the team?
That is the voice of Allen Robinson, the former Bears receiver from 2018 to 2021. He now is one of us co-hosting the press release podcast. He is at Allen Robinson on X and he is kind enough to join us on Twitch. Twitch.tv slash the score Chicago. Allen, just know that here in Chicago today, most of our show has been centered around whether or not the Bears are leaving Soldier Field. Which is a conversation that I think started Percolating around the time you were still here It's still going It's still going I saw that I saw I didn't know if it was a spoof I saw Indiana
I don't really know what's going on, but yeah, it did. It did kind of start a little bit when I was there. Not so much. So just a tiny bit. There were rumblings that it was going to be where the old horse racing area was at. But I saw Indiana today and that and that absolutely blew my mind.
The fact that you said it came off as a spoof to you, does that tell you how outraged you think Chicago fans would be at a move like taking the Bears, not only out of Soldier Field, but out of the state of Illinois and putting them in Indiana?
Yeah. Listen, I don't know if that's a negotiation tactic.
What impact does Ben Johnson have as the head coach of the Chicago Bears?
I don't know what it is. It just sounds so foreign to me that the state of Indiana would even have two football teams and and and the state of Illinois would have zero. I just I can't even fathom the Chicago Bears not being in Chicago, let alone being not even in the state of Illinois.
Well, Alan, you bring a different perspective to it, too, because we've talked to a lot of fans who discuss whether or not they want to make a drive somewhere. As a player, how much does it actually factor in in your game day process, your day-to-day, that type of thing, where you're playing?
You know, I think guys think about that a lot of times that you have the practice facility that may be out in the suburb areas or in an area that has more space. It was like that when I was in L.A. It was like that in Chicago. So it's like that a lot of places. But. It's the feel of going into Soldier Field in the city of Chicago. I remember with my family, sometimes the night before the game or the day before the game, we'll grab dinner or even stay in the city after the game and grab dinner. So it was a very nice experience to be able to come into the city and just the overall feel and the energy of the city. You could feel it in Soldier Field in Chicago.
And it's interesting that you say that, because you've played in different places, whether it was Jacksonville, Chicago, you mentioned L.A., and then, of course, Detroit, Pittsburgh.
What are the challenges of moving the Bears to Indiana according to Allen Robinson?
Like, Pittsburgh, it's all close by. You know, the Southside facility, and then you go to the stadiums. You could almost see the stadium from the practice facility. Do you think that that would be a problem? I mean, football is a game where you don't play that many games. So home games, you know, it's really only talking about like nine, ten dates. If you get to the playoffs, maybe a couple more. But to go all the way from north of the city... All the way to Indiana, and I'm guessing they would spend the night either downtown or somewhere around Hammond if they built hotels by then. Casino. There's a casino there. True. How would that make you feel as a player, or does it matter?
I think that's tough. I think that's really tough on the families.
How does location affect players' game day experiences?
I think that's really tough on the people who are coming in town and coming to the game.
