5.103 - 27.954 Clay Harbor

The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye! Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.

0

28.114 - 32.86 Layla Rahimi

We talked to our friend Danny Harkins. Hey, Danny, how are you?

0

32.88 - 41.592 Russell Dorsey

I absolutely think the Bears are live for Max Crosby as we sit here today. But I guarantee Ryan Poles made that call last night. I guarantee it.

0

41.652 - 46.539 Layla Rahimi

We all said yesterday's price is not today's price. If you like watching the NFL.

46.679 - 48.702 Unknown

Yesterday's price.

48.935 - 61.656 Layla Rahimi

is not today's price. I don't know if that means Caleb Williams is interested or not. I think the podcast, there was definitely some flirting going on. It reminded me, Danny, of when Bryce Harper was flirting with the Cubs.

61.757 - 77.9 Unknown

I will show you how well I flirt. In fact, I will get her phone number. Do you make the pizzas in one of those wood-burning ovens? No, actually, I think they're gas. Gas? Wow. Intense.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the Bears' roster changes?

77.96 - 81.966 Unknown

That wasn't flirting. That was heavy petting.

0

82.406 - 85.611 Clay Harbor

Nah, nah, it wasn't heavy petting.

0

86.692 - 92.48 Russell Dorsey

Some articles of clothing had already been removed because Bryce Harper told us after the fact, I wanted to be a cub.

0

92.68 - 95.224 Layla Rahimi

This is totally going to get aggregated the wrong way.

0

95.244 - 106.565 Unknown

I happen to be very proud of my big ears. I mean, a lot of women consider them erogenous zones during heavy petting. It was, you know, like a snowball at a bar mitzvah, but when they say snowball, you're not going to any other partners.

106.625 - 118.007 Russell Dorsey

You're just staying there with your one boo thing. Like, yeah, they were absolutely, that's a Jewish reference there that maybe flew right over everyone. It's okay. I just want to hear you say boo thing again.

118.527 - 121.05 Clay Harbor

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Boothang ever.

121.21 - 128.66 Russell Dorsey

I've heard Boothang, but not Boothang, but I like it. Yeah, that's the difference right there.

128.78 - 132.285 Mark Grote

That's the difference. I'm not going to totally appropriate it.

Chapter 3: How does Max Crosby's situation affect the Bears?

606.441 - 627.379 Layla Rahimi

Well, and it's one thing when it's one team, and you're right, Mark. There are circumstances surrounding the Ravens that are historical. Mike Florio talked about the concept of trading a first-round pick for them and how that was something that they hadn't previously done. Then there's audio that we had from our sister station, 105.3, the fan in Dallas, Shane Sheriff. How you doing, everybody?

0

627.359 - 644.902 Layla Rahimi

Yes. He said the Baltimore Ravens ultimately failed him on their physical. And that's Shan Sheriff is speaking here. His understanding is that there were multiple doctors that reviewed his MRI scans. There were doctors who examined him, including Dr. Daniel Cooper, the Cowboys doctor who had performed surgery on Patrick Mahomes and Malik Davis.

0

645.523 - 656.577 Layla Rahimi

Many teams and players rely on Dr. Cooper's expertise. And Dr. Cooper was one of the doctors who reviewed the images where the Ravens then felt compelled. to back out of the trade.

0

656.957 - 677.843 Layla Rahimi

Now, the Cowboys had been on the record, at least they had sourced on the record with Jane Slater of NFL Network, their reporter, saying multiple times that they did not think that two first-round picks was the price that they wanted to pay in a trade like this. However, this does make me wonder if that could still be a possibility. I know what Max Crosby said.

0

678.523 - 695.38 Layla Rahimi

I know that he pointed out the Undertaker gif. I know that he posted the pirate flag. But I also know that there are many a player who have said they're back or that they have decided to go elsewhere. And it doesn't always work that way when you've got a contract with another team.

696.021 - 717.983 Unknown

I think considering what just happened, anything is possible, including that. And I will say this, too, about the Ravens organization. We were talking about it in transition a little bit with Mullen Hawn. He asked the question earlier. would you do business with Baltimore right now? And I get the question, and most people's answers would be, I don't know about that.

718.504 - 739.79 Unknown

But before this occurred, Baltimore, for the last two decades or so, that's an organization that you would probably have pointed to and said, that's one of the best organizations in the NFL. With the GM they have now, Eric DaCosta, the guy that they had previously, Ozzie Newsome, right? The tight end turned GM. He was terrific at his job.

740.11 - 740.931 Layla Rahimi

Playing as well.

740.911 - 763.56 Unknown

Yeah, yes he was. And then, I know John Harbaugh is gone, now the head coach of the New York Giants. John Harbaugh was considered one of the top five best coaches in the league. So it's not like this is some disaster of a franchise that this is going on. So I do think that they survived this, and I do think that we are being a little bit harsh here.

Chapter 4: What are the key takeaways from the Bears' free agency moves?

1762.65 - 1779.385 Layla Rahimi

The fact that it was sustainable for a season is wild. And then do you know who's behind on who also left and is behind those guys on interceptions? He is. He's to CD Garner Johnson. So everybody who had multiple interceptions for you last year is gone.

0

1779.365 - 1786.22 Unknown

God, is there anybody who had multiple interceptions or fumble recoveries or forced fumbles that is left on this team?

0

1786.3 - 1787.543 Layla Rahimi

Yes, DeMarco Jackson.

0

1787.663 - 1790.69 Unknown

Thank you, DeMarco. Welcome back, buddy. 7.5 million.

0

1790.71 - 1794.117 Layla Rahimi

Oh, this is a long table. Tyreek Stevenson, two forced fumbles.

1794.181 - 1795.864 Unknown

And they don't really like Tyreek Stevenson.

1796.105 - 1799.892 Layla Rahimi

So that doesn't really help us. Montez Sweat had three forceful.

1799.932 - 1802.817 Unknown

Okay, that's legit. That's legit. He had 10 sacks, too.

1802.998 - 1807.145 Layla Rahimi

And listen, that's the thing. Montez Sweat performed better last year than he did the year before.

Chapter 5: How did the Bears perform in free agency?

5584.913 - 5585.494 Unknown

What would it be?

0

5586.576 - 5591.543 Layla Rahimi

Productive. I would say it's productive. They made a lot of moves. We knew they had a lot of holes to fill.

0

Chapter 6: What are the key signings and re-signings for the Bears?

5592.244 - 5610.595 Layla Rahimi

And I feel like the Bears did a really good job of trying to act quickly with guys like Kobe Bryant and also Devin Bush. And then they also re-signed people who I think we wanted to see remain with the team. Daniel Hardy, I'm looking at you. That needs to happen. Thankfully, it did to Marco Jackson.

0

Chapter 7: What challenges do the Bears face in the upcoming draft?

5611.156 - 5621.882 Layla Rahimi

And then getting Kalief Raymond on special teams, I think, is going to be helpful for him on the offense and on special teams. So I would say it's productive. They made a lot of transactions over the past few days.

0

5622.544 - 5624.168 Clay Harbor

Okay, I'll go with...

0

5625.413 - 5652.079 Clay Harbor

practical you know they address some needs not headlines not sexy but respectable you know they brought in some pieces that they needed some of the the depth pieces on the defensive line there that you signed obviously you went linebacker you needed to get a safety obviously there's reports that kevin byard was offered back to chicago he wanted to go back with rabel i don't blame him for that that's the guy he played with when he was in tennessee so you know it was it was solid

0

Chapter 8: Who are the standout players discussed for the Bears' future?

5652.059 - 5655.583 Clay Harbor

Not sexy, but respectable. So that's what I'm going with.

0

5655.603 - 5676.447 Unknown

I am going to go with, I know you guys over at CHSN, you guys write stuff down sometimes and share it. I went with reasonable. So you and I are kind of in the same category. I think what the Bears have done so far, if not splashy, reasonable. And I would say the most splashy thing that they have done is the safety Kobe Bryant. I loved that signing.

0

5676.427 - 5700.255 Unknown

Would I love to have seen Kevin Byard back and even Jaquan Brisker? Yes, but this was a good signing, three years and $40 million. I love the versatility, so I think that's a good and reasonable thing to do. It was reasonable to bring back DeMarco Jackson. to add him to obviously to hopefully Devin Bush and a healthy TJ Edwards. That seemed pretty reasonable to me.

0

5700.655 - 5719.161 Unknown

The Neville Gallimore, like to have depth on your defensive line, as Pat Hughes would say, that never goes out of style, things like that. So I like that. You know what the most reasonable thing that they did probably, and reasonable is not necessarily a good word here, Braxton Jones. It's reasonable to bring back Braxton Jones.

0

5719.201 - 5730.232 Unknown

Whether or not he starts at left tackle for 17 games or not, I don't know. It's a reasonable move to have made. So I can go through all these players, but reasonable is the word that comes to my head. Thank you. Thank you.

5730.433 - 5737.263 Layla Rahimi

Yeah, the other, I just have the issue is like, for example, I think the Lions had a really decent, Free agent period.

5737.283 - 5738.245 Unknown

Yeah, you were saying that.

5738.305 - 5745.215 Layla Rahimi

Larry Borum is now a Lion, by the way. Cade Mays, the free agent center. Isaiah Pacheco.

5745.235 - 5749.341 Clay Harbor

May Sewell out to left tackle, though. That's interesting. Is that what they're doing?
