Back to the back to football, ladies and gentlemen, let's do some more audio. Dana, why don't you lead us through it? Because a couple of these were your questions. And I believe one of the pieces of audio that we had was actually part of a side session that you got to be a part of. So a little bit more intimate. I know there's one on the coaching staff and there's one on his relationship with Kayla. Why don't you set those up for us here, Dan, so our audience can hear what was going on in Phoenix.
I'll do the one on Caleb first because it was a moment that we've talked about here on the podcast after the Rams loss at Soldier Field. And Ben Johnson gave his postgame press conference and then walked out. And as he was walking out of that room, coming from the locker room was Caleb Williams. And they stopped probably for no more than five seconds and just had a moment, right? They hugged each other in the hallway there. And it was clear that it was... Kind of a profound moment of gratitude between both of those guys for where they had come from and where they had gotten to. And so I had a chance to push Ben on that a little bit today. Not push, but, you know, just ask him a little bit more about that particular moment and kind of what it was like for him in that moment, because it did feel like a sense of thank you going both ways between those two men.
Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, it's a...
It's why you do what you do as a coach. At this level, yeah, you want to win games and all that, but the relationships that you forge, it's still about that. There's nobody on the team I spend more time with than him. In that moment, you're both disappointed with the result, and yet you're appreciative of each other. It's just a disappointment that it's ending. I'm really looking forward to him getting back to work again. and seeing if we can get better in a number of areas and continue to elevate the people around us. You learned a lot about what he was willing to give to you, given how much you asked him. Yeah, well, I mean, I think, and I talked about it this morning, just to see where we were early in the preseason to where we finished off.
I think that was a good exercise for me, just to see the growth that not only he had, but we had as an entire offensive team. Absolutely, because I think he can make a similar type of jump again this year.
uh it's really really great stuff and boy that last part did not get past me that him saying that he can make a similar type of jump this year but dan listening to that what i thought back to was my first year covering the bears full time was 2018 there's matt naggy on the scene talking about how that important roulette that's the most important
