00:00The winds of change are blowing through Soldier Field, and they're bringing something we haven't
00:04felt in a long time, hope. Dennis Allen, the defensive mastermind behind the New Orleans
00:09Saints elite defense, is now calling Chicago home. And let me tell you why this is the move
00:16that's going to shake up the entire NFL. Yeah, I'm excited about being here, looking forward
00:22to the opportunity, and I think this is an exciting time for the whole organization,
00:28and I'm excited to be a part of it. Remember the Monsters of the Midway? That fear factor
00:32that made quarterbacks dread facing Chicago? Well, it's about to make a comeback, and I've got the
00:37inside scoop on exactly how Allen's going to make it happen. First, let's talk numbers that'll blow
00:42your mind. Under Allen, the Saints defense ranked top five in key stats from 2018 to 2021. Like,
00:49that was a good team that we played, all right? And that was a good team win that we had. And
00:54everything didn't go exactly like we wanted it to all the time. We had to overcome a little bit
00:58of adversity at times, right? Okay? But that's what the good teams do, okay? They overcome adversity
01:04when it hits. I thought you guys did a great job in the game of being able to do that, just staying
01:09laser-focused on next play, next play, next play, okay? All right? We're not talking about a one-hit
01:17wonder here. This is consistent, dominant defensive football, the kind Chicago's been
01:23starving for. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Tate Kyler Gordon ranked as PFS' 20th cornerback
01:29last season. Good, right? But under Allen's system, he's about to become elite. Allen's got this
01:36special way of unleashing cornerback talent. Just look what he did with the Saints secondary.
01:42First time since 2018 that a Saints team, okay, has gone three straight games with over 400 yards.
01:49So, we're doing some good.
01:54We're doing some good stuff. And Jaquan Brisker, Roquan Smith, these guys are about to feast in
02:01Allen's defense. His scheme is like a chess master's playbook, complex for opponents but crystal clear
02:08for his players. Every defensive snap is going to be a new nightmare for opposing offenses. Let me
02:13break some news here. I've talked to coaches who've faced Allen's defenses. They say game
02:19planning against him is like trying to solve a puzzle that keeps changing. Yeah, I think at some
02:26point, as we got later in the season, he reached out to me just to see if I would be interested.
02:34I told him that I would be interested. I think it's probably, you know, a product of
02:42just the same connections, you know, Dan, Aaron. Just when you think you've got it figured out,
02:49he hits you with something completely different. Think about this. Allen's blitz packages are
02:55legendary. One play, you're seeing a standard four-man rush. The next, a perfectly disguised
03:01blitz that comes from angles you didn't even know existed. That's the kind of unpredictability that
03:06wins games. Okay, now we got to continue to keep doing that, all right? And in the critical moments,
03:12make the play just like we did today. Just like we did today. When we had to go close it,
03:18we were able to close it. All right? Okay? Here's the deal. We don't get to carry any of it over
03:24with us. You with me? We got to go right back to work. So it's right there for you. Okay? It's
03:31right there for you. Here's what nobody's talking about. Allen's third down defense, it's where he
03:36shines brightest. His defenses consistently get off the field when it matters most. In today's NFL,
03:43that's pure gold. The timing couldn't be better. Our division is up for grabs, the Lions are rising,
03:49the Vikings are rebuilding, and the Packers, well, they're still the Packers, but with Allen's
03:53defensive genius, we're not just joining the race, we're about to lead it. Want to know the best part?
03:59This is just year one. Allen's defenses historically get better with time. As players
04:05master his system, the complexity and effectiveness multiply. What we'll see in 2025 is just the
04:13beginning. I'm calling it now, by mid-season 2025, offensive coordinators will be losing sleep
04:21before facing the Bears. That's not just hometown optimism talking, that's based on Allen's proven
04:27track record of building defensive powerhouses. The pieces are all here, the talent, the system,
04:33and now the right mind to put it all together. Dennis Allen isn't just bringing a new defense
04:39to Chicago, he's bringing back our identity. The monsters of the midway aren't just coming back,
04:45they're evolving. This isn't just another coaching change, Bears fans, this is the move that's going
04:51to put Chicago back on the map as the NFL's defensive capital. The future isn't just bright,
04:57it's downright blinding. Keep your eyes on Soldier Field NFL, the Bears defense is about
05:02to become appointment viewing again, and to all those offensive coordinators out there,
05:07better start working on those game plans now, you're gonna need the extra time.
