What are the hosts' initial thoughts on the Bears' defense?
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670. Yeah, in particular, I was not pleased with the offense today.
Nope, nope. Nope.
That's it for me. Like, that's how I knew Ben Johnson was mad after the game on Sunday. Did you ever see his face?
How does DJ Moore's presence affect the podcast dynamics?
It's not necessarily the initial answer. It's the follow-up. Oh, yeah, he tried to hide a lot of it with his hat, but it didn't work.
Does it please you? I mean, is that something? That's separate.
That's DJ Moore.
By the way, somebody had to text or ask, is DJ Moore going to be on the podcast? We'll see. Maybe this week still. Oh, yeah. He did say, like, we got completely off track with the holidays and the days that I'm out at Hallis Hall and the days that Dan is there. So maybe, maybe we get him on Thursday.
Why are you keeping DJ Moore off the podcast?
Well, no. I would love to have DJ Moore. He said he'd come on the podcast, but we want to do it in the locker room. So it's... Oh, one of those two-on-ones? Exactly. We don't want to make him have to call or get on Zoom. He will, though.
He does it.
I know, but that's a pain in the butt.
He even called in on his day off here one time.
That's true. He probably would, but if we can make it easier for the player during a playoff week, Dan and I would like to do that.
He's reliable like that. He's very reliable. He's very reliable to his on-air commitments.
That's such a great way to put it. He's a pro's pro. He really is. I wish he had more targets, you know.
I do, too. Shout out to DJ Moore. In the meantime, we are talking about the Bears' defense. And the question, is focusing on the points enough? Enough? Is it enough? I don't know. Let's go to Vince and Gurney. Vince, you're on with Rahimi Harris and Grody.
Good morning all. Happy Tuesday. Loving the show so far. I don't think that that's going to be even a good approach for the defense at all, first of all. There's no predictable way to even know how many points they're going to give up in any given game. And they have almost zero momentum going into this playoff game. And Jordan Love, even though he throws kind of a lofty ball, he picks the Bears apart almost every single game when he plays defensively. I mean, a lot of backups have been picking them apart. That combined with, I think, Josh Jacobs will probably be playing. So I just don't have any faith in Dennis Allen to come up with a scheme, you know, on a shorter week that's going to be able to say, well, we're just going to focus on this and that.
You know, they're going to be relying on the offense to put up points and then just hope that the clock runs out with the Bears in the lead at some point. But I don't think the Bears can rely on themselves at all in terms of They just got to hope that the Packers make mistakes and not the Bears are going to come out and actually stop them. So I got no faith in them going into this.
Thanks, Vince. Vince, we are aligned. Vince, you just said everything that I've been saying because guess what? The defense isn't good enough to just stop anybody. So you got to hope they can break them. When it counts, get off the field on third down, maybe get to a third down. That's the first thing is get to a third down or take the ball away.
This does not sound. That's how bad the defense is.
Let's be honest.
Your lack of faith disturbs me.
This sounds like somebody who studied for seven minutes running in before the test and just praying. They just answer C on multiple choice the whole time and think that they'll pass just by answering C. So with that level of confidence, let's continue with the phones. We'll go to Steve in Crown Point. Steve, you're on with Rahimi Harrison-Grody.
Hey, good morning, guys. Love the show. Thank you. Hey, thinking about it, the Bears offense out of the team is all offense. They're built for... They're built to go ahead and get the job done on offense, not defense. With all the injuries on defense and the way the team is built with first round, second round talent on the offensive side of the ball compared to all the injuries on the defensive side of the ball, I think Ben is just more, he's being more realistic that the offense needs to step up more and score more points.
