What are the key storylines leading up to the Bears-Packers game?
Thanks, everybody. The Bears.
Brad Biggs. Biggs time. Biggs. With Mully and Hall. Biggs time. The Biggs Report with Brad Biggs. Biggs time. Biggs it. His name is Brad Biggs.
Brad Biggs talks football with you.
Mully and Haw, Chicago Sports Radio 670, The Score. Always fun to talk to our dear friend Brad Biggs. And shout out to all the fine folks on the Chicago Sports Network tuning in.
How will injuries impact the Bears' receiving corps?
And Big Z joins us now on... The Atturo Tire Hotline. Atturo, your hometown tire. Atturo.com. Brad Biggs, the football man of the Chicago Tribune. A long-time contributor to the station and a valued friend. And Biggs A!
Morning, Brad.
Morning, boys. What's going on? Here it is, buddy. You tell us. This is the big game. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that Roma Dunze is out and Luther Burton III is out. What does that mean?
What adjustments will the Packers make without Micah Parsons?
Who do you anticipate being the receiving star of this game?
Well, I think you've got a couple stars. Options here, and that's why I don't think it's doom and gloom for the Bears with the dunes and burden out. Are they better with them? Absolutely. Do they need them? As soon as possible. As soon as those guys can get back out there. But that's a spot they've got just an awful lot of depth at, right? And I think every single guy has proven that they can step up and make plays from time to time. Zaccheaus has had some big plays this season, right? I don't think anybody would dispute that. So you've got Duvernay. Duvernay's made some plays, and if you look at his playing history, kind of where he's been previously, he can deliver in the passing game.
How significant is the first quarter for the Bears against the Packers?
So you'll almost certainly see today Walker get an opportunity, and then Just so they're covered, I would imagine you're looking at the promotion of a practice squad wide receiver. You've got two options there, Maurice Hardtime-Alexander and J.P. Richardson.
J.P. Richardson, they were high on in training camp. I wonder if he has special teams kind of skills that they might want to utilize. Not quite sure. Not sure it matters, Brad, because both teams, I believe, with Josh Jacobs likely to – he hasn't been practicing, but I would be surprised if he doesn't play. And then with the Bears and DeAndre Swift banged up as well. Heavy doses of the running game. I would be more concerned if the two –
uh offensive weapons that were injured and out would be running backs as long as you have manung guy and swift i think we know how the bears are going to approach this game plan yeah we talked about that yesterday that if you're looking at a really good packers defense and you're saying where where's it soft i think it's a defensive tackle because of attrition with the loss of uh Devontae Wyatt, and we'll see how they can adjust not only on the field, but is it a mental hit without Micah Parsons out there? To me, the first quarter will be very interesting, more interesting than usual.
What strategies did the Bears use in their previous game against the Packers?
You're always curious how a ballgame's going to start, but how does this Packers team on the road... with everything at stake, respond after what happened in Denver. And as I said, that was yesterday a brutal game. It wasn't just Parsons. They've got other guys that were banged up in that game. Jacobs has been playing through that knee injury for a while now. Zach Tom, the right tackle that already had losses on their offensive line because of injuries this season. Do they come out with a warrior mentality? Is Matt LaFleur throughout the course of this week and then tonight at the hotel able to push some buttons that has those Packer players absolutely fired up? I think you'll be able to tell in the first quarter
how they're able to respond, and that's huge to me.
Brad, I'm curious if you're just looking and thinking of the game plans that the Bears used in the first meeting with Green Bay. Who do you believe alters their plan more? Is it Dennis Allen reducing the amount of blitzing he felt he could get away with?
How does the absence of key players affect the game plan for both teams?
Or is it Ben Johnson? Because without the pass rusher there... they may be able to get the tight ends out quicker instead of chipping like crazy or getting maybe the running backs into routes if they want to go that direction.
