00:00Because Case Keenum, everybody, stunned the Eagles on Monday night.
00:04Yes, it was at home.
00:06Yes, it was in Chicago.
00:06But this was not supposed to happen.
00:08The Bears were basically down to only Case Keenum at quarterback.
00:13They're facing an unbeaten Eagles team in prime time.
00:17And they didn't just keep Chicago in the game.
00:21Like, he didn't just keep Chicago in the game.
00:23They dominated the Philadelphia Eagles on defense and offensively.
00:28I mean, Keenum threw two touchdowns.
00:30He ran for another one.
00:32They had a 41-yard touchdown to Kalief Raymond to put the Bears up 20-7 in the third quarter.
00:39Caleb Williams is a sideline for the next couple weeks.
00:41John, your thoughts on the Case Keenum game in Chicago?
00:47Okay.
00:47First off, Case Keenum ordered a deep-fried turkey.
00:52Okay?
00:53And cooked that bird all the way to the core where the inner meat was still juicy.
00:58Okay?
00:59I'm talking about had that thing in a fryer for three and a half hours until they came
01:04out crispy brown.
01:07This is the Ben Johnson game.
01:09We can give Case Keenum all the credit we want.
01:12Case Keenum executed the game plan to a tee.
01:15This is why you saw Case Keenum and not Tyson Bajit, who was medically cleared to play
01:21and is the backup who they gave $10 million to in the offseason on a two-year deal.
01:27You saw Case Keenum because Ben Johnson needs somebody to just execute.
01:32He don't need heroes.
01:34He needs soldiers.
01:35And that's what he got tonight.
01:37Case Keenum went out there and just threw the ball where he was told to throw the ball when he
01:42was told to throw the ball.
01:43If you notice the game, the Eagles usually are defensively styled up front, but they didn't really – they weren't
01:49even able to get to him
01:50because Ben Johnson kept them off balance with play calling.
01:54I thought Ben Johnson made a single mistake tonight and not going for three when they went forward on fourth
02:00and goal and they didn't get it.
02:01Outside of that, I thought Ben Johnson got as close to perfect as a play caller as you could absolutely
02:07get.
02:07He had a lot of help with the Eagles secondary because the Eagles secondary, buddy, y'all got to –
02:12it ain't a high school dance.
02:14Y'all got to stop holding.
02:16They had a late defensive holding.
02:18They had, I think, was it 11 penalties?
02:21They had more penalties in this game than they've had all year.
02:25The secondary in the red zone did entirely too much holding.
02:29And to the defense, no defense can keep stopping the team if you keep getting these holding calls in the
02:35secondary.
02:36It's just – it makes it impossible.
02:38It makes it entirely too impossible.
02:40But I thought tonight belonged to Ben Johnson.
02:43I think as I was telling – we were talking about earlier, I was telling Rob earlier, we may need
02:48to put Ben Johnson's hat into the
02:50it-doesn't-matter-who-the-quarterback-is conversation.
02:53Because Kyle Shanahan can have that conversation.
02:56Sean McVay can have that conversation.
02:58Kevin O'Connell, Andy Reid, and Ben Johnson.
03:01It may be time to put Ben Johnson's hat in there as it doesn't matter who the quarterback is.
03:06You do what I ask you to do, and we can get some dubs.
03:09I remember we were talking about this, I think, in the preview show or the prediction show for week three.
03:15And we were talking about, okay, this is Ben Johnson's chance to get into that category.
03:21Where there's the Kyle Shanahan's of the world, the McVay's, all of the Kevin O'Connell's, like you said.
03:27I even threw Liam Cohen's name in there because he's just such a good offensive mind.
03:31That's the number one pick.
03:33That's the number one pick.
03:33Sure, sure.
03:35That's why tonight was so important.
03:36That's why tonight was important for Ben Johnson because he did it with a journeyman pretty much in Case Keenum.
03:41Right, and this just shows to me that he is in that tier to where I don't care who is
03:47out there.
03:47If you give him a playbook, if you give that quarterback anything with Ben Johnson, he's going to get you
03:54to where you need to go.
03:55And we saw that with Sean McVay, with Ty Simpson in preseason.
03:59It's like, bro, just make the quick pass.
04:00We're just trying to learn things here.
04:02And everyone's like, well, why don't you just let him air it out?
04:04I mean, that's not how Sean McVay works.
04:05That's not how Kyle Shanahan works.
04:07Maybe Brock Purdy can make those passes, but we're going to play within our system.
04:11We're going to let him.
04:12We're going to let our system do the work and just let him follow it.
04:16That's exactly what the Bears did with Case Keenum.
04:19But I got to say, John, there were some throws.
04:21Like, there was a throw to Luther Burden for 25 yards.
04:26There's one to your guy, Roma Dunze, for 22 yards.
04:29Man, don't bring up Roma Dunze on this show, bro.
04:32Don't bring up Roma Dunze.
04:32You said you wanted to talk about Roma.
04:34I did, but they won the game.
04:36When he dropped that, I was telling them, bro, I wanted to fade.
04:40I wanted to fade when he dropped that touchdown in the end zone, bro.
04:44I wanted the ones, bro.
04:45Run me them ones, Rome.
04:47I did that.
04:48Bro, okay.
04:49Now you're going to make me do it.
04:50Okay.
04:51Roma Dunze is a top 10 pick, okay?
04:53A top 10 pick.
04:55He's done next to nothing for what is required from a top 10 pick at the wide receiver position.
05:03That's the second highest a wide receiver has been taken in the Chicago Bear franchise history.
05:12The first one was Kevin White.
05:14He was god-awful.
05:16Injured.
05:17Injured.
05:17Roma Dunze just doesn't make enough plays to garner where he was taken.
05:22If you would have told me he was a third-round pick or a fourth-round pick, this is gold.
05:26I like it.
05:27But as a top 10 pick, this is, he's a failure.
