0:00.0

We are talking about the Chicago Bears

0:06.8

because Dave was there covering minicamp.

0:09.0

We'll talk about that now on FFT and 5.

0:14.1

All right, Dave got a little vacation.

0:16.8

What did you get Gerdonanos out there?

0:18.9

Had Girdonos, had Aurelios, had Peros brothers. There's a reason why I weigh what I weigh. Wow, I didn't know that we were getting that. Oh, that's like the Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, Robo Dudes Day of pizza, right? Right, because you don't know which one is truly the best. And Peros Brothers isn't pizza, by the way, but it's still really good. All right. No idea. Well, talk about the- cardiologist just got rich over the weekend. But listen, the Bears are a much improved team on both sides of the football. I'm encouraged by what I saw versus last year. I'm opening up to you. You represent the fans.

0:54.8

Ask anything you want about the Bears.

0:57.6

Well, first of all, do you think that based on other mini camps you've gone to in the past in previous seasons,

1:03.3

do you think you can actually take away anything that's going to translate to September?

1:08.0

The best things that you can take away from a mini-camp are things that happen in the

1:12.2

passing game and how players are used. Okay, what's the strategy involved? Was DeAndre Swift an

1:18.7

every down starter? Did he play with the ones exclusively and no one else got in? No, that didn't

1:24.1

happen. We saw a lot of Khalil Herbert and Rochon Johnson mixing in with DeAndre Swift. And when the Bears were in their two-minute offense, especially on the second day, it was Rocheon Johnson on the field and not DeAndre Swift. Leaving Bears training camp made me a little bit more nervous to take DeAndre Swift in fantasy because, yes, he's a playmaker. He'll be used in the passing game to a degree,

1:44.4

but I don't think he'll be a feature back in the same definition that we talk about for other

1:49.4

running backs in the league. Did you come away lower on Swift? Did you move him down? Yes, yes, just a little.

1:56.6

He's a settle for RB2, but that, you know, that group is bloating now with all the other running backs that are sharing and splitting reps.

2:04.7

Names, you know, guys that have upside, but there's, there's warts, multiple.

2:09.1

Okay.

2:09.8

So what can you tell us about Caleb Williams?

2:12.5

I thought he threw well, certainly better than Justin Fields last year in minicamp and Justin Fields during the season.

2:18.8

There were like three or four amazing plays that he made.

2:21.6

One of my favorites was he's rolling out of bounds.
