And Mark, you spent a lot of time at Hallis Hall last week talking to Bears' assistant coaches.

1:28.5

And I think you had some really good answers out of it. Yeah, you know, Dan and I, Weeter, that is, did an episode recently on the Take North podcast. You can go check it out if you want wherever you get your podcast. We did a whole Caleb Williams episode. And it was based on some of the plaudits that Caleb Williams is deservedly getting from the national audience, including Mike Florio, who's got him down as, I think, his number two quarterback. Colin Cowherd had him in the top five, I think. Colin Coward, also, we might not have to talk about his amount of bears, because he's getting real bearsy. Okay. And he does, he is based here, I think, too, and loves Chicago. His wife is from Chicago.

Led the Bears to a playoff win after being down 21 to 3 against the Green Bay Packers.

2:08.2

So I know all the great things that Caleb Williams did last year.

2:12.7

It's just a little bit quick to be like, yeah, he's top three all of a sudden.

2:16.5

And the reason we said that

2:18.1

is because there are three quarters that you still have to work with before you get to the fourth

2:23.3

quarter of the game. I mean, that's a compelling thought process, that there are three other
