How will Caleb Williams’ hamstring injury affect the Bears’ game plan?

Rahimi Harrison 0:00

The SCORE! Anthony Heron, score football analyst.

Anthony Heron 0:05

I would say Ben Johnson had an average game, I think, calling plays. We're accustomed to thinking of Ben Johnson having such an exceptional game calling plays. If it's Tyson Bajan in the lineup for however many, whether it's one game, four games, whatever we end up seeing play out with Caleb's hamstring, the play calling. Won't need to change, but the execution of the plays will certainly be different than we're accustomed to.

Anthony Heron 1:11

Groats, Layla, I'm feeling good. It's the for me kind of the the calm before the storm kind of vibe where you know we got the Monday night game coming up here. I had my my Big Ten radio show this morning. I'm on with you guys right now. Then I gotta get, you know, shave, cut, suited and booted and get ready to head over to Fox thirty two. Got pregame over there tonight and do post game here on the score with Olin and Pat. So it's a full day, you know, a lot. But that's why I gotta make sure I'm like, you know, ascending forward towards everything we're gonna cover with the bears today. So I'm trying not to peek too early.

Mark Grote 1:47

No no, I know. I sometimes I overadrenalize. I when I do when I did the the pre well known overadrenalizer migroti. Adrenalization. Yeah, I just had that

Vinny Rotino 1:58

breakthrough, yes. Yeah,

Mark Grote 1:59

it's a great Deaf Leopard album. Actually that's when they started to slip, to be honest with you.

Rahimi Harrison 2:03

Adrenalize, let's get rock

Mark Grote 2:06

Baby.

Can the Bears’ defensive line exploit weaknesses in the Eagles’ offensive line?

Mark Grote 2:07

Um yeah, sometimes we we peak. So I'll try to c we'll both try to calm ourselves down here. What jumps out at you though as you start to look at bear uh on on this Monday, there's been a lot of talk all week, but here we are on Monday. It is game day. What's the first thing you're thinking about with Bears and Eagles?

Anthony Heron 2:24

Well, th there were some things I really liked about the Bears offensive line, oddly enough, in that game against Minnesota. But that being said, as far as the lines of scrimmage that have been a huge piece of why the Eagles, frankly, throughout this entire century so far, like multiple head coaches, multiple quarterbacks. Why the Eagles are always in the mix is not only do they do they find a quality quarterback I can have a coach who can, you know, kind of develop them and put them in great situations for success. But what they do on the lines of scrimmage tend to separate the Eagles from a lot of other teams in the sport. And the Eagles' offensive line has become more and more of a concern over the last couple of years.

Anthony Heron 3:08

Now, the opening game against the Vikings in 2025, the Bears D-line looked really good in that matchup and J. J. McCarthy was at quarterback. So we got kind of excited about what can this D line be? And then we know how much they underwhelmed last year. But they were impactful in that game against the Vikings last weekend. So yes, the weather was one thing that assisted the Bears defense throughout that game with a few open receivers who were missed. But I did like some of the things I saw from the Bears D line, especially when they got into some predictable downs and distances and were able to to use some games, some stunts to get after Carson Wentz in the pocket, but they were effective in that regard.

Anthony Heron 3:48

And it's an Eagles offensive line they're gonna see tonight that's looking a few wounds in their own right. So can this Bears D line actually get the upper hand in this matchup? That that's what I'm gonna be watching closely.

Vinny Rotino 3:59

Well, and I think if you're measuring defensive line versus defensive line and it edge probably still goes to the Eagles just because of of the quality.
