00:00Does this team look better than they did last year?
00:04Yes, and that's because of Caleb Williams.
00:06And that's the beautiful silver lining of all the struggles
00:09and all the things you've had kind of going on the roster
00:11with the offense and certainly the injuries on defense.
00:14Caleb Williams is that guy, and he's taking that necessary step
00:17you want to see going into year three
00:19and certainly year two with Ben Johnson's offense.
00:21He has had a lot of really strong moments in practice and in camp.
00:25And last year during camp, there were so many days
00:27where the offense walked off the field looking defeated.
00:30And not really knowing what they were doing.
00:31And you saw the struggles, and I think it was wearing down Caleb Williams
00:34because he was getting challenged by this coaching staff.
00:37And drinking through the fire hose is the term we kept hearing.
00:39He was drowning with that.
00:41It's different this year.
00:42He is so much more confident in Ben Johnson's offense
00:45to the point where he can pinpoint the ball placement
00:47exactly where he needs to go.
00:49He's not overthinking routes.
00:50He knows where his guys are going to be.
00:52He's in control of this offense now, which is a beautiful thing for the Bears.
00:55And they brought in a center in Garrett Bradbury
00:57to kind of be that caddy for year three for Caleb, year two in this system,
01:00the same way Drew Dahlman was.
01:02Caleb is helping Garrett Bradbury just as much as Garrett Bradbury
01:05is helping Caleb.
01:06He is in full control of this offense.
01:07He's an extension of Ben Johnson on the field.
01:10It's not always been perfect.
01:11There's been some days where there's been struggles.
01:13And I think that day in Cincinnati last week is certainly one of them.
01:15There were some ups and downs for Caleb Williams.
01:17But the overwhelming feeling is that he is taking that next step,
01:21and he is exactly where he needs to be here.
