00:00So here's where I think we're at. I think the Bears have created an identity.
00:08It's just not the identity that most people would have thought Ben Johnson would have created initially.
00:16When you look at his history at Detroit, he does like to run the ball and that's good.
00:21And this team after the bye week has been phenomenal running the ball.
00:25That's part of their identity.
00:27The great thing about that is that once you establish that as an identity, then you can really work play action off of it, which is, again, part of what Ben Johnson is.
00:38The other part of this team's identity has been their defense takes the ball away.
00:43I know that all of this kind of feels like back to the future.
00:47If you're a Bears fan, you're like, yeah, I remember this being a formula for winning.
00:52But that formula was usually with a team that needed that because their quarterback wasn't there.
00:59I think that that's kind of where the Bears are at.
01:02The progress doesn't have to be linear.
01:05And it's funny because the progress for Caleb, I feel like, has been pretty linear so far this season.
01:11And this game, it kind of stalled a little bit.
01:15But it's OK.
01:15That's the beauty of the way the Bears are winning, is that it allows for growth.
01:23And if you end up with the elements of a really strong run game and a defense that takes the ball away to give your offense better possessions, that's the type of environment where a really talented quarterback like Caleb Williams is can grow.
01:38So, yeah, it's winning ugly, but it's still winning.
01:42And as long as the quarterback continues to develop, it can be a really fun formula going forward.
01:49Speaks and I will talk about all of it.
01:51Two to six on the score.
