Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. Oh, there it is.
Thank you, Tyler. This is born too slow by the crystal method because I'm a million years old. And you love crystal meth. If I did, wouldn't I be more productive? It's a joke. That's true. It is a joke. It is me talking about myself. And you wouldn't have such nice teeth either. Or skin. Or skin. Or a job. Right. Or a future. All the stuff. But you might be a millionaire if you sold it.
I don't think so. I don't think so. No, then I'd be in jail. That's how that usually works. Do you know what they call Crystal Bathmark where I'm from? Bathtub Crank. Bathtub Crank? Where are you from?
wow that's amazing bathtub crank i was a news reporter in east texas because it was at a time where they weren't exactly keen on hiring women to do sports the the concept not like them in particular and i can't tell you how many stories i would do on somebody's house getting oh my god like meth fires and stuff it's terrible and walter white is a hero for the world I am the one you fear.
Heisenberg. Just stop throwing pizzas on the roof of that house in New Mexico. Say my name. Jesse! But the moral of the story is the Crystal Method, which was a very popular techno band around the 1997s or so. Do I know them? Would I know them? Yeah. Okay. I am not in danger. I am the danger. Goosebumps. I am the danger. Yes. Very good, Marshall. Marshall. We were just talking about Marshall.
Marshall is not in today. He's doing the state championship games for the kids. He missed you, though. So he misses you, Clay, but we're happy to have you in studio. Another personal color in the center seat here. Might as well just call me Marshall. So my problem is I file the names by letters.
Oh, I always call Lawrence always last because he's like, my mom calls me Braxton and you call me Marshall. And I was like, terrible. Marshall, Clay, whatever. It's the L's for me that throws me off. LL. Okay, so speaking of names, everybody and their dog on our text line has always mentioned Cam Jordan.

Chapter 2: Why should the Bears consider signing Cameron Jordan?
This guy could be the guy. But now, a patellar tendon injury as an NFL football player. ACL, yeah, you cringe a little bit. You go, he'll be back. Achilles, oh, man, that's tough. But we think he's going to be back. It's going to take a little bit longer than you'd hoped. Patellar tendon's one of those, an NFL player, you're like, oh man, we hope he's back.
So you don't know, as much as we've advanced in medical science, when you're a big guy like that, 300 pounds, you're putting a lot of pressure on that leg, that knee, that's tough. In my opinion, you have to proceed. He is not going to be on your roster. He is not going to be your guy.
I know you want to give him an opportunity if he can come back, but at this point with that injury, you've got to say, hey, okay, we've got Braxton this year, we've got Theo Benedict here in this competition, and maybe you take someone in the draft that you could possibly develop over the next year so you have someone else there waiting instead of just hoping that Ozzie Trapillo is back.
Yeah, and I know that they've got some backups.
Chapter 3: What are Cameron Jordan's strengths as a defensive end?
And the reason I don't count any of them out is because when Theo Benedict got a fair shot at this, I can't count any of the backups out. Even reciting guards, if they want to try them a left tackle, whatever they want to do, if there's a swing tackle... Jedrick Willis Jr. Yeah, that's who I'm thinking of, especially because they like that pedigree. Have you noticed that?
It's not just a relative athletic score for them. It's a trait. It's were you a five-star recruit in high school? That's a big one for the Bears, whether or not you want to admit it. And then, for example, the first round pick or the first rounder pedigree. They really like that a lot, too. Now, granted, I also asked why wasn't Alex Leatherwood considered more at times when I shouldn't.
I thought about Alex Leatherwood, too. But I just wanted to give him a chance. So I feel like that falls into this category a bit. Not Alex Leatherwood. I'm sorry. It feels like Leatherwood. Former first-round pick. I believed in him. Jedrick Willis Jr. was the number 10 pick in the year 2020 with Cleveland, right? Yeah. Yeah.
If you look at some of his numbers at the Combine, I mean, this guy checks every box. He had a 6'11 wingspan, 34.5-inch arms. Big hands? I mean, big everything. But the arm span does matter. The arm length does matter to Pulse. Andy ran a 5'40", jumped 34 inches, 9'6", broad jump.
This guy's a freak athlete, but then you watch his tape, you look at all the grades, the analytics on this guy, he's never been successful at tackle. So I think this is a little bit of token competition. Karan Amagaji, I'm going to say something crazy. You ready for something crazy? Yes. Okay, go. Cody, you were probably there too.
I was at every day of training camp practice with the Bears last year. I thought he improved a ton before he got hurt. I was impressed with Karan Amagaji. When he first got drafted here and I saw before he got injured... I go, I don't think this guy can play. And obviously he was put in a couple bad situations.
Braxton Jones had the one concussion that he'd go through the week, and then he starts getting symptoms the day before the game. And now Karan Amgazi starting against Minnesota Vikings on one day of knowing without going through any practice with the first team. Of course he's going to give up a couple, two, three sacks. But in training camp last year, He took a big jump.
I don't think it's outside the realm of possibilities of him to be in this competition or even win this competition. He's athletic. The freak arms. Now you're blowing me away. He got better in camp. I remember watching this guy. I played with Jason Beaters. I played with Lane Johnson. I played with Ryan Ramchick.

Chapter 4: What role does Dennis Allen play in the potential signing?
I played with Tron Armstead. I played with a ton of tackles in my day, and I know when a guy has some tackle ability. He has some ability. I'm not saying he's going to for sure put it together, but he has some traits that you want to see from a big-time tackle. Listen, I know he's gotten a lot of hell on this station, and he was put in a bad position that night in Minnesota.
I would love to see Karan Abagaji get a real shot and earn a real possibility. Amen. That's why I love hearing what you just said. You're the first person I've heard say anything good about this man. He deserves that. I was hyping him up all last training camp and then obviously got hurt and fell off. And, you know, the people on Twitter, oh, Clay, what happened to Karan Amagaji?
Chapter 5: How does Cameron Jordan compare to other defensive options?
Even I was saying Ozzie Trapillo was looking good. Oh, so much for the Ozzie Trapillo. He can't even get on the field. End of the year, he starts playing. But these tackles... do look like they have the traits. I've seen a lot of these guys. We have to block next to them, these big monsters, and these guys do have traits.
If they can put together, I feel like they've all improved, then this will be a fun competition to watch. I'm just going to present this, and I know we're up against a break, but I just want to throw this out there. I feel like Ryan Poles definitely is on the all-traits team when it comes to his drafts and who he wants to pick. When the traits actually match the tape, it's Darnell Wright. Yes.
Like Darnell Wright actually. So please consider tape. Just please. I don't know who's listening right now. And Ryan Poles is at the Oklahoma Pro Day before he goes to House Hall. But whoever is, one of you, please consider some tape to match the traits. Like please actually watch the games and not just look at the relative athletic scores. Add it to your diet.
Even as a guy that came out of the combine with a 4'5", a 40-inch vertical, 30 reps of bench press, and all that 10'5 broad jump, watch the tape. Watch the tape. It's the hardest thing to do. As a combine kid, watch the tape. It takes the longest amount of time. But your combine, but your traits is what got you to the combine. Your tape is what kept you in the NFL. That's the difference.
I'm a big believer in if a guy's a football player, he's a football player. I don't care what he ran. I don't care what he jumped. If he can play football, put that guy next to me. Put him on the line. Put him out there at wide receiver. Obviously, there are some outliers that they're to a point, right? I think it all matters if you can play football.
I don't really care what you're running or jumping if you're a football player.
