What did Caleb Williams say at Bears minicamp?
Here we go. Fourth and four. Johnson. The man in motion. Williams drifting. Sprinting for space. In all kinds of trouble. He got it! For the touchdown! They've done it again!
How does Caleb Williams plan to improve his game?
Unbelievable!
It never gets old. That is courtesy of NBC. Our friend Mike Tirico on the call. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And the Bears have wrapped up the last of their offseason program. Mark Grody and the rest of the Bears get a break for six weeks. Actually, you don't really even get a break because you're on Stuck With Us.
and the take the north podcast like i was trying to do like an emotional this is it for us for a while dan then it was like oh well we'll be doing the podcast tomorrow yeah that's right but yeah this is the last of the bears we're gonna see for a while caleb williams was asked about that too by the way and it sounds like he will get to decompress a little bit and get away get away from the coaches specifically is what he said
Want to get away.
What insights do the hosts provide about Caleb's leadership?
And in the meantime, he spoke at the last day of Bears mandatory minicamp. And we all, I think, had different things that we heard him say that we want to bring up. Mark, I want to start with you because you feel like he was sincere in talking about an aspect of his game he wanted to improve.
Well, yeah, yeah. I think my sort of theme of this offseason has been Caleb was great last year. Now I want to see him become a complete Jedi. You know, his training with Yoda is not done yet, right? He's still in the swamp. Right now. Yeah, he's still in the swamp. There's still things to learn. Yoda's still yelling at young Luke Skywalker. He's not dressed in all black yet. He doesn't have the cool lightsaber as of yet, but he's getting there. There's a lot of cool tricks that Caleb Williams has at this point. I don't know if he could just point his fingers and make that ship come out of the swamp yet, like did occur in, I guess it would have been Empire Strikes Back. But there is still more to the training of Caleb Williams.
And Ben Johnson has been all over Caleb Williams in this offseason. Anytime there is something that comes up about his being on the cover of Madden, it's like, well, let's make sure your accuracy is good. Make sure the ball placement is good. Let's make sure you're doing the right things out of the huddle. And what I like about this cut right here is that Caleb Williams gets it. He knows that there is still more to his game that exists that has to be refined.
Caleb, you've had a lot of really cool things happen to you the last several months and obviously since you've been in Chicago. How do you process that personally, kind of the successes you've had and also knowing that there's much more on your journey ahead? Yeah, that's the last part that you just said is what, you know, keeps everything going for me and myself mentally and physically and things like that is that there's so much to unlock. There's so much to get better at. There's so much left of ball for me and, you know, and us and accolades that we'll have as a team and things like that. So I think that's the part.
How does the 'How Many Bears?' segment work?
And then having a good support system around me, having Ben and my teammates and things like that, that I got to look in the face and make sure I'm doing the right thing every single day to accomplish our goal.
I love it. I just love hearing his knowing that there's a long way to go. I don't know if there's a long way to go, but there are still things that need to be tightened up. So it was heartening for me to hear that. Well, I think he recognizes that the simple matters, and it matters because it's so simple. You've got to be able to do the simple stuff to be the quarterback you say you want to be. If you're talking about winning multiple Super Bowls, hey, the pedestrian things, Ben Johnson's offense, so much based on timing and being able to hit guys quick, and then they do the work after the catch. If you can't do that, you're putting yourself in a position where in fourth quarters, you have to put the cape on and hope nobody's got some kryptonite out there to stop you.
