00:00You know, wherever your weaknesses are, let's go out and address them now before the Caleb Williams second contract.

00:05But this feels sustainable.

00:07This is why I say when you have a young franchise quarterback, you want an offensive coach.

00:12You don't want a defensive coach.

00:13I'll do respect all the defensive coaches out there, but the offensive coordinator is going to get a head coaching job somewhere else.

00:18And then you've got to find another one.

00:19And maybe the next one's going to be bad.

00:21Maybe the next one's going to be good.

00:22Either way, your quarterback's got to deal with a new offensive coordinator.

00:25You want Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams to develop and grow year after year after year.

00:31You want Caleb Williams to have the full range of experiences.

00:34So the next time he thinks he's going to get DJ Moore down the field, that he's going to flatten off instead of go deeper,

00:40there's going to be maybe some restraint and he's not going to throw that ball.

00:43These are all things that are going to make him better and better.

00:46And this is the start of something that feels sustainable.

00:49I think back to the 85 Bears.

00:50We all thought they were a dynasty.

00:51They're going to win two.

00:52They're going to win three.

00:53And it all fell apart.

00:54It's been a long time since then.

00:55This feels like the early stages of something that could end up being very special.

01:00That's why today, look, here's how you get past yesterday.

01:04Number one, probably wasn't going to end well in Seattle next week.

01:08So, you know.

01:09And two, it's the dawn of a new era for the Chicago Bears.

01:13That is the thing that I would take away from this.

01:15If I was a Bears fan saying, hey, things are going to get better and they're going to get there quickly.
