00:00The thing with this Tremaine Edmonds trade or impending release if he doesn't get traded
00:06is the fact that you are creating another hole.
00:10You are realistically going to have holes on all three levels of your defense now.
00:16You have no safeties.
00:18You're going to have an injured linebacker that you can count on, but that's pretty much it.
00:23Ruben Hippelite, Noah Sewell have not shown Noah Sewell is coming off an injury as well.
00:28We don't know when his timetable is to be back.
00:31And then the defensive line.
00:33Aside from Montez Sweat, Austin Booker.
00:36You know, David, I've talked up Austin Booker since training camp last year.
00:39You like him.
00:40He started slow, but I think he has shown enough that this guy can really grow into a good player.
00:45He's only 23 years old, but the Bears still need more there.
00:49I think Dio, you look at the interior defensive line, Dio Dangbo, Jervon Dexter, Andrew Billings, a free agent.
00:57I think Bears fans might be overestimating what the Bears think of their interior defensive line.
01:06I think Grady Jarrett was injured for a number of games, and he was not himself.
01:12I think that near the end of the season, he played better.
01:16I start to turn on the film and say, okay, this is the Grady Jarrett.
01:19Near the end of the season, I thought we were getting.
01:21Jervon Dexter had six sacks.
01:22He showed some improvement.
01:23I'm not saying they don't need help there.
01:24I'm not saying they don't need to improve, but if I was to list the top priorities defensively,
01:31and even saying this without saying the Bears don't even have a safety on the roster, David Hall,
01:37going back to your Ball State days, they might give you a call here pretty soon.
01:40They're not that desperate.
01:41Not yet.
01:41I think that they feel good about the secondary because you heard them say—
01:46Kyler Gordon, Jalen Johnson coming back, Tyreek Stevenson.
01:49They're counting on health, though.
01:50Is that a thing?
01:51Can you look forward to the next season because you're getting health back?
01:55Can you ever count on a healthy anything in the NFL?
01:59With Kyler Gordon, it seems that his number of issues, right?
02:03When you look at the list, here's what I do.
02:06Is this the same injury?
02:07Is this just one body part that bugs this guy?
02:09Or is it a lot of soft tissue stuff that keeps popping up on different parts of his body?
02:13And that's what happens with Kyler Gordon.
