Good Monday morning, Chicago. Welcome to the Holland Peyton Show, Chicago Sports Radio 1043 The Score. Welcome to our Chicago Sports Network audience out there on the Simulcast until 9 o'clock. And now it's a pleasure to go to the Plumbers 911 Hotline Plumbing Emergency. Call 1-833-Plumb911. Local 130 Plumbers get the job done right the first time. You know what that music means. It's time to bring in Olin Kruz. Good morning, Olan. How are you?
I'm good. Living in the epicenter of offense in the NFL. I'm doing real well. Congratulations, Davis. First time you brought me in to you and Jarrett on your guys' new show. It's the first time I've been on for the Hall and Peyton show. Obviously, uh, Molly was a legend in Chicago, legend on the airways, taught us all what Chicago radio should sound like. Jarrett's been used to feeling big shoes, so I'm excited to be on. your guys' show this morning and especially with the offense dropping fifty nine points on uh a team and in watching that game yesterday and thinking to myself where am I what am I watching and how do I analyze an offensive shootout and you heard you guys talking about Ben saying look man we're gonna score
Uh, you know, we are gonna break the 2000 2013 Denver Broncos record. That is my goal. I want to score, you know, 40 plus points a game. And I heard that, and of course, I rolled my eyes and thought this young coach, he's getting a little crazy here. And then he does that last night, and now I'm believing maybe he will. Maybe they will break this record. And I know you guys thought uh Jared and David, but when I watched that yesterday and I kind of rewatched it last night and watched it. little bit this morning. The crazy thing about what they did yesterday on offense was it wasn't smoke and mirrors. They are that good. They are gonna be that hard to stop with all the weapons they got and the level their young quarterback played at last night.
I I I feel like we should start there, Olin. When it when you talk about the the quarterback, right? I mean, just to take a another step, everybody was looking for Caleb and what was he going to do going into this year and second year with Ben Johnson and his command of that offense, you can just see from from the beginning. He is comfortable in his game. And that's what's scary about it, Olin, is that He's getting more comfortable and we know how athletic he is, how gifted he is. He's got the arm talent. Now he's starting to understand Ben's scheme and how he wants this offense to run, almost becoming uh another version of him on the football field.
Yeah, there was a play there, Jared, early in the game where he wanted Luther Burden to go in motion. And he was giving him the motion where you lift your leg up. Yes. And he stuck his leg way back so Luther Burden could see it. There was no panic, right? There was no, and then Khalif Raymond, obviously, I heard you guys talking about the game he had, and he was telling Luther Burden to go in motion, but his command and control at the line of scrimmage. And getting the guys in and out of the huddle and checking the offense, uh, in and out of what play they wanted to run and what play they didn't want to run and giving them the advantage at the line of scrimmage and running the offense, the way Ben Johnson wanted him to run it, and you heard Ben say after the game that he slept well because Caleb knew all the details of what he had to do that day.
And that showed up in that game. And then, you know, just like on the game. The first touchdown, where like you know, if you're a defensive player for the Panthers and you want to go ahead or another football team and you want to bull rush Braxton Jones for just a second too long. Well, guess what? Caleb's gonna roll out of pocket and he's gonna run, he's gonna score touchdowns. Just like at the end of the half, right? The two-minute drill.
What did Olin Kreutz say about the Bears' offensive explosion in Week 1?
Same thing. They they were they had the old line, a little beat there, uh a little bit of a muddy pocket. Caleb gets out, and guess what? He's gone. They can touch.
