00:00So, Dan, I know you're not going to get swept away with anything in terms of overstating Caleb Williams one way or another, whether it was growth or regression.
00:08But in a mini camp situation, when he had veterans around him in and out of the huddle, the operation, the execution, how would you describe what Caleb Williams looked like in this three day period?
00:20Up and down, you know, and to be expected when you're a young quarterback with a new play caller, a new offense, trying to get familiar with things, trying to work from under center more.
00:29You're going to have moments that are a little bumpy and then you're going to have flashes where people go, there's it.
00:33That's it. That's exactly what we're looking to see.
00:36You know, there was a 94 yard end of game situational touchdown drive on Wednesday that sent some of the media out there at House Hall into hysterics.
00:45They were ready to plan the parade as if Caleb had just led a Super Bowl drive.
00:49And then there's other moments where, you know, Ben, we'll be honest with you, that he said it yesterday out loud, like we're not ready for primetime yet.
00:55And there's a lot of work and a lot of grind ahead.
00:57There was one moment in Wednesday's practice where Caleb couldn't get the play called in the huddle properly.
01:05And he kind of came back out of the huddle, looked back to Ben for assistance.
01:08And Ben just pointed at the play clock and said, you know, that's under 20.
01:11I can't help you anymore. Figure it out.
01:12And he used some other words that might not have made it onto hard knocks last year.
01:16But that's part of the process, right, is learning where the bumps are and all of the responsibilities that come with being a high level starting quarterback in this league.
01:25I think the Bears are really pushing Caleb to understand just how much is on his plate and how much he needs to accomplish as they get on the runway to the regular season.
01:32Because this isn't going to be a smooth path as much as everybody wants it to be.
01:37There's going to be a lot of bumps in the road between now and probably Halloween.
