00:00Yeah, Swift looks tremendous, and I'll be the first to admit,
00:04in the first couple seasons of DeAndre Swift here in Chicago,
00:07I had my doubts.
00:08I'm like, maybe this isn't a good fit.
00:10Maybe Swift doesn't, you know, he just couldn't find any rhythm,
00:13and then, you know, you realize there were a host of other problems
00:16with this Bears offense at the time when Swift came to Chicago,
00:19so it was a little different.
00:21Now I feel like he's comfortable in the offense.
00:24He knows exactly what Ben Johnson wants from him.
00:27He's had really good coaches in Studesville and then Eric Bien-Ami last season,
00:31so I think he's in a perfect spot.
00:33I think he deserves to be paid.
00:35We've seen the value of running backs go up,
00:37and Ben Johnson wants to be a run-first team, wants to be a physical team,
00:42and DeAndre Swift has to be the cornerstone of that,
00:44and I think he's done an incredible job.
00:47He looks great in camp, and I know a lot of times people are like,
00:49oh, it's great to see him look great in camp.
00:51How is he going to look in games?
00:52No, there's a noticeable difference in DeAndre Swift this camp
00:56in preseason, so I'm looking forward to him shining in this offense,
01:00and again, there's a comfortability.
01:02There's a familiarity between him, even Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson,
01:07that cohesiveness and the offensive line
01:09because they're not playing for the first time together.
01:12This is the whole line that battled it out last year together,
01:15so the sky is the limit, and I hope it's a huge year for DeAndre Swift.
01:20I'd probably draft DeAndre Swift in my fantasy league.
01:22I don't like that.
01:23I don't like that.
