What insights does Caleb Williams share about his early NFL career?
this hour is being brought to you by the great escape.
I think it comes with the comfort level in terms of knowing what's being asked in terms of the offense. So we're all aligned on what we want a certain route to look like, where we want the ball to be thrown. And so, you know, routes on air, you can go out there and tell a receiver, Hey, you're missing your depth or expect the ball to be at this spot. Whether we're out there in a practice setting or he likes to keep those guys after and work a little bit more after practice. So, I think he's stepped up and he's continuing to get better every single day. It's just a matter of how many reps can we continue to pile on over the course of training camp.
The familiar and persistent voice of the head coach of your Chicago Bears, Ben Johnson, right there. This is Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score.
What should the White Sox offer for Tarik Skubal?
Do you remember the year 2024 for the Chicago Bears, Marshall Harris? That was not last year's season, but it was two years ago. You're joking, right? I'm not joking because some people put it out of their memory. You're getting older, too.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't try to bring me up there with you. Listen, yes, I remember very vividly as I told everyone, hey, all that the Bears have proven with this trip overseas over the pond and back is that they can beat bad teams. I'm not a believer yet. And then what happened?
How does the Bears coaching staff impact Caleb Williams' development?
It was bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. And it was a really frightening year because you drafted Caleb Williams. You got the guy. You drafted the number one overall guy, Caleb Williams, the generational quarterback, the elite quarterback. And you're right, got off to a good start. There were some moments, but there were some god-awful moments for Caleb Williams early in his tenure under the tutelage of Is that what we're calling it? The tutelage of... That's a nice way to describe it because I don't know how much tutoring he received. I wouldn't be that nice. I wouldn't be that nice.
What challenges did Caleb Williams face during his rookie season?
You're probably right. I shouldn't be that nice. Shane Waldron was the offensive coordinator. Matt Eberflus was the overseer of everything.
I'm not going to comment on that. I know you're not. How about under the captivity?
Under the captivity. Fair enough. Is that better?
What factors should the White Sox consider before making a trade?
Yes. I heard cap, and I was like, wait, talking about cap space? Captivity. Yes. Under the captivity of Matt Eberflus and Shane Waldron, you have this precious object. You have this diamond in Caleb Williams, or at least you think. And he doesn't appear to be learning. He doesn't appear to be developing. So it's this scary season where veterans in that locker room, I was there, are being pretty transparent with the media about things not going well in that locker room and everybody needing to do their part. It was a frightening season because they end up being 5-12 to Marshall's point where at a certain point in the season, things did go downhill.
What are the potential consequences of trading key players for the White Sox?
It made us question everything. It made me question everything. Am I wrong about Caleb Williams? Is he not this elite quarterback? Does he not have it? Are people right about him, the things that are written about him? And then, of course, after that season, You had more sort of accusations about even Caleb Williams, about how he comported himself in that locker room. Whether you believe the stuff or not, the sourced article by Tyler Dunn about Caleb not being a great leader and not picking up on things quickly enough. 2024 was a, I'll just say it, it was disastrous.
How does the current White Sox roster compare to previous seasons?
It just felt, it made me feel horrible because you finally thought you had the quarterback and then it made us question because of the way he was managed to a large degree, it made you wonder if they actually had the guy. And he was culpable for some of it too. I'm not saying that Caleb Williams is a perfect quarterback. I've been plenty critical about him over the years. So it was interesting, Marshall, to listen to Chris Simms doing an interview with Caleb Williams and Williams reflecting on his rookie year and how it made him a better quarterback today.
