00:00We have spent the offseason talking about the Bears and Super Bowl aspirations.
00:04Are those still appropriate, Mike, given the state of the roster
00:07as Ryan Poles gets ready to speak today?
00:10I think so.
00:12Every year I have in my mind three categories of teams.
00:17The teams that I believe are going to be good,
00:19the teams that I believe are going to be bad,
00:21and then the group of teams in the middle
00:23where neither I nor anyone else knows what the hell they're going to be.
00:27And the Bears, in my mind, are in the good category.
00:30How good? I don't know.
00:32Everybody's ready to hand the trophy to the L.A. Rams.
00:35That could be a mistake.
00:38It's a grind.
00:39There are so many things you can't control that unfold over the course of a football season.
00:43But the Bears, to me, are in the I believe they're going to be good category
00:47because of Ben Johnson, because of Caleb Williams,
00:49because of everything they have around them.
00:53And we'll see.
00:54You know, every team's going to have to rely upon young players at some point
00:57to step up and do something.
00:59So you hope you draft well, you hope you develop well,
01:01and you hope they're ready for the moment when the moment comes.
