And when Ben Johnson talked about Kyler Gordon making his season debut here tonight, he says he allows him to unlock some things defensively.

He's really good in coverage and he can stop the run and that's going to be important against the commander's top-ranking rushing offense led by a look rookie seventh rounder to Cory Kroski Merritt who's averaging 6.6 yards per carry.

And they get Kyler Gordon back. one of the most dynamic nickel corners in the game.

First and 10, Crosky Merritt, left side, well played by Chicago ball out.

The ball is out. It definitely came out before he was down and it's another takeaway

Chicago ball this defensive front by Chicago you see Andrew Billings as well as Chris Williams

number 91 they defeat their blocks and they're right there in the hole and are able to make the play. That's something we've not seen much of through the early part of this season by this defense. You see the defensive line replaced the line of scrimmage. And takeaways, that's been the story for this bear's defense. Montez sweat the one who knocked it out. Kyler Gordon got on it.

It's been a fun day talking about the Bears and their win over the commanders.

And as the week goes on, we'll talk a little bit more about it.

We haven't turned a page in a little bit.

It's been a long time since we turned a page. It's because we were at Cubs Town until three days ago. Cassie knows. That is not the case. Cassie Carlson is amazing. She does a great job over at Fox 32, whether it's covering the Bears at Hallis Hall or hosting shows on Fox 32. She does a great job. She's even hung out here on this particular show. So we are glad to have her back. She joins us on the Circa Resort and Casino hotline,

circle Las Vegas.com. Cassie, thanks so much for joining us. We've been spending a lot of time

talking about the effect of Ben Johnson. As someone that was covering this hiring search that the Bears went on and now

seeing a little bit of what Ben's vision is for this team play out, what's it been like

to watch this evolution?

Yeah, just hearing you guys talk about it in your last segment, one thing that stands out

that I've kind of always described Ben Johnson as is unflappppable and i felt like he's been that way ever since he was hired not only is it the intensity what he demands from his players but it's also how as dj more said it's kind of freaky how he can flip the switch like that if he wants to and i think you look at all the really good coaches. And I think the easiest

one to point to would be Bill Belichick in the Patriot way. And those good teams take on the

identity of their head coach. And I feel like now we're maybe starting to see this Bears team

adapt to his culture and start taking on the identity of what Ben Johnson shows up on how Ben

Johnson shows up in front of his team each and every day. And we're now seeing that translate on the identity of what Ben Johnson shows up on how Ben Johnson shows up in front of his team each and every day.

And we're now seeing that translate on the field.
