0:09.6

Do you listen to podcasts that players go on in the off season, or do you stay away?

0:14.2

I stay away. Yeah, I try to have a clear mind on everything, but yeah.

0:19.1

Caleb was on obviously a podcast, and he said he wants to be the number

0:21.9

one offense in the league next year. Also talked about being a little bit of a maniac and just in

0:26.2

terms of how he wants to be the best on the field. When you hear your quarterback continue to

0:30.7

make that message public, I mean what excites you about that? I mean, his overall maturity

0:35.6

from the day he got into the league to what it is today

0:39.1

is really impressive. That growth is really impressive. I got to give Ben a lot of credit for that.

0:44.3

They spent a lot of time together. He's starting to do the things, not just say, but do the

0:48.8

things that professional quarterbacks do. And that gets me excited because if his mentality

0:53.7

is that, it'll start rubbing off on a lot of the other guys. And if we get the whole crew moving with that mentality, you're trying to be the absolute best in the league. One of one, we're going to be at a really good spot. When we go out there, I want to put up 50. If it's a shoot-offs, shoot-off. If it's's a blowout, it's a blowout, like, whatever.

That was Ryan Poles on with Cassie Carlson on Fox 32,

1:21.6

talking about Caleb and his development and what he wants and how he's obsessed with having this offense be the difference

in what the bears are, and it doesn't matter what the special teams the defense is doing shoot out or blowout what Caleb is all about right now it's baseball season but the NFL dominates the calendar and hearing those guys talk yesterday and it's funny i haven't seen a lot of baseball on

1:45.9

talk about that later hearing those guys talk yesterday kind of relit the flame for the bears

1:51.7

fire i keep trying to land that plane on the analogy and i keep falling apart like relit my bear's

1:58.1

buzz i guess that makes sense like come on baby relit my bear's buzz? I guess that makes sense. Like, come on, baby, relit my buzz. Scratch your bear's it? Scratch me? No, but it's more than that because it like set it back aflame. You know what it is? It's like when you put a fresh log on the fire and it's just been smoldering for a while, then all of a sudden it kicks back up into a full impressive fire. so I can say something like that, but it just takes too long and, you know, here we are.

2:21.5

I'll say that Tanny hit the perfecto here at three o'clock. He did? It is great. What happened? Three o'clock on the nose segment started. Oh, really?

2:34.8

That's exciting.
