What did Tim Jenkins think about Caleb Williams’ performance in the 9‑3 loss?
Tim Jenkins. I've got people real mad at me in Chicago, but how dare you? There's a radio guy up there, Mike North. He was real mad. Founder and CEO of Jenkins Elite. I'm Tim Jenkins and welcome to All Things QB where I watch every single clip and break down the most important ones. Breaking down the positives and negatives. Look at this. Get out of the pocket. Nope. I'm gonna keep going. And he does a good job right here. His eyes are downfield, right? At this point, he high steps out of it, eyes are downfield, thinking about ripping it. And then this book.
Rahemian Groti on 1043 the score. Let's jump into the film. Yeah, positive and negatives is a good way to to put things, as we get to talk to Tim Jenkins each and every week here on Rahemian Grody on 1043 the score. Tim is joining us on our video stream to watch, search the score Chicago on Twitch and YouTube. Tim, how are you?
I'm doing great. I'm doing great. I think I'm a lot better knowing that it's not uh as bad as we all thought it was. So I'm I'm doing good. Oh,
okay. Well let's start right there. Now when you say that I assume you're talking about the Bears offense and Caleb Williams not as bad as you thought it was. Say more.
Yeah, I I was I was talking about his injury, but it's applicable to both. Okay.
How did the Bears’ offensive line and snap issues affect the game?
Right. So I think we're we're in a great spot for both. I actually it's funny because normally I'm pretty popular on my own YouTube channel. People tell you to post and ghosts, I can't do it, I read the comments. And then if they're too bad, Emily reads them to me at night. I think it's like her favorite hobby. Yes. As she's uh yeah, as she's like taking care of our newborn is to like find something about my receding hairline. So I think it's great. Um, no. What's weird is I was watching the tape and it it it's an interesting one because you're watching it live and and then obviously the weather impacts it, but as you're watching it live, you're thinking to yourself We just don't feel as clean as we did week one, right?
The operation didn't feel as clean. We had a bunch of drops. But then you turn on the tape and you look at it and it really is kind of Unfortunately one of those things where I do feel like we're genuinely Three snaps away from running away with this thing. Like you, if you if you really think about it, you've got the the big scramble that he then you know rips it. We're down at the one-yard line, we're first and goal off the one, we fumble, right? Then you go back and you go right before his injury, we run a little play action and we're trying to hit our fullback down the middle. 87 catches it and just drops. Drops it. That would have been a touchdown before the injury. And then you look back and you go, Rome had a big third down drop.
There were just some, you know, hey, we line up illegally on what would have been a big gain. There are just so many things that I looked at and I went, gosh darn it, man, this were we really weren't That bad, you know, it's funny how 10% of the snaps not going your way as an offense, right? Being not clean on 10% can actually deter so many plays because if or so many drives. Because if you're sitting there and you're saying, Hey, we had a bad snap here on third down, well, listen, now we're punting, or hey, we fumbled down tight. Now it's a turnover.
Why were drops and missed catches a key problem for Chicago?
And all of those really should have been points. So to me, it was one of those where it's like. I get how you could walk away from it and go, shoot, we played horrifically. Um, unfortunately, like for the people that want it to be horrific, I actually think when you turn on the tape, it's just, you know, you have seven plays that don't go your way and it ends in those seven drives not being successful.
Well, and I that could be the story of most of the NFL games. You know, that's the hard part, Tim, is that that is how it can be decided. We say games aren't lost or one on one play, but when you put the few together and they don't execute on the few, that's a problem. What surprised you the most about the lack of of production on the Bears offense was it perhaps the run fits not working in the first half?
