The Rahimi Harrison Grody Show, middays 10 to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score.
Leila Rahimi 0:12
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score. Unfortunately, Devin Hester was a last-minute cancellation. He said he couldn't make it.
Mark Grote 0:21
Went to pregame warm-ups, and then something was nagging him.
Leila Rahimi 0:25
Devin Hester is allowed to do that, so we will try to get Devin on another day. I know he wanted to reschedule. Devin is working on a good cause, too, so I'm sorry, guys, but Devin Hester does get a pass with us, probably for infinity. So, you know, we'll get to Devin Hester at another time.
Marshall Harris 0:42
He's earned citywide immunity a long time ago.
Leila Rahimi 0:45
Precisely. Yeah. Yeah. Precisely. And in fact, I still wanted to ask him about, was he surprised? He's answered a million times, but you think I'm not asking while the Bears are in the playoffs, if he was surprised that they still decided to kick off to him? Like he's answered it 25,000 times. I don't care. I'm going to ask it 25,001.
Marshall Harris 1:03
Did I share with you guys the tidbit yesterday about Devin Hester during my update with you and Marshall and Henry Melton?
Leila Rahimi 1:11
Your friend Henry.
Marshall Harris 1:12
My friend Henry. I never leave Henry out of it. Just really quick. After Richard Hightower spoke, he was asked about Devin Duvernay. He did have a couple of excellent returns last week against Green Bay, and he was kind of talking about him and how good he was and what inspires him and all this stuff. And then about 10 minutes after Richard Hightower had left, he had requested – to a communications official with the Bears to come back to us, the media at large, and tell all of us that Richard Hightower wanted you all to know that everybody was inspired by Devin Hester having been out at the game. I think Richard Hightower felt like he should have mentioned Devin Hester during his press conference.
Marshall Harris 1:51
I love that. And so he just, he had one of the communications persons communicate that to us just to make sure. So we got you, Richard.
Mark Grote 1:58
From one Devin to another. I love that. It was very nice of Richard Hightower. And I got to
Leila Rahimi 2:02
say we talked about where we were with the left left tackle at first but where we are with special teams right now compared to the beginning of the season is also night and day oh no advantage advantage bears and i even think i said this yeah i've been annoyed with some of the misses cairo santos is that i have been and given the the first part of the season and jake moody was on this team i was uh i was very critical but i did acknowledge that he has a clutch element to what he does Like, he'll miss the 35-yarder, and I'm like, really, Cairo? Really? Really? Yeah. Stare into your soul. But then he, for example, was that dude at Soldier Field in any of these elements? Like, that's a question. Are you concerned about Cairo Santos on Sunday with the elements?
Leila Rahimi 2:44
I am not.
Mark Grote 2:46
Yeah, I'd rather not be. He's given me no reason to be concerned in recent weeks.
Marshall Harris 2:50
Here's what's crazy. The 51-yard field goal that he made is a record. It's the longest Bears field goal made in Bears playoff history. So in a lot of ways... With his accuracy, he's doing unprecedented things with the Bears. But I get you. I got you, Layla.
Leila Rahimi 3:07
I mean, last year was rough. There's a rando kick he'll miss or a rando PAT, and it seems random at the time. We were talking about Jake Moody. Unfortunately, it'll bite you in the keister later.
Marshall Harris 3:15
I mean, there were low-key debates about whether Jake Moody should replace Cairo Santos at one point in time this year.

Why is the upcoming game against the Rams significant for Caleb Williams?

Mark Grote 3:24
I never went full Haw. I can't go full Haw. Did Haw go full move? I stopped with the H-A because mine's Harris and his is Haw.
Leila Rahimi 3:33
He went full critical, but I will say this. Apparently at 640 this morning, David Haw decided that he was on board with Cairo Santos.
Mark Grote 3:41
I did hear that. Brad Bates immediately calling him out on that.
Leila Rahimi 3:44
It's okay to change your mind. Just do me a favor and don't miss the rando kicks. There's no stat for that. That's just what I called him. You know them. You know.
Marshall Harris 3:52
You're right, Layla. Spot on. Yeah, you don't want to miss a 32-yard field goal wide left.
Leila Rahimi 3:57
And here's the other thing is like, yeah, there's a low trajectory there.
