Lickety split fashion.

That's what they call me on the beat.

Lickety split.

Lickety split. Dan Weeter. We'll mention this mainly because Dan Weirer said we would mention this nugget. Bears beat reporter for the athletic. You're going to have to win occasionally without sending extra pressure. And then if you do send the extra pressure, you've got to get there. And there were a couple times that they sent everybody. And they didn't get there and Jordan Love made them pay and there there's a celebration in the end zone and they're playing that song that they play up there at Lambe Field and you're totally dispirited, right? They're banging on their drum all day and you're going back to the bench trying to find answers for what you need to do to get to that quarterback a little bit more effectively. And so I have not trusted a bear's coaching staff in my time on the beat the way that I trust this one to put together a plan that positions their team for success. Co-host of the Take the North podcast. I call my Olin the Avengers. I call Drew Dolman, the Hulk. Ozzy is Wolverine, Dr. Strange, as left guard with Joe, the Red Hawk, as Jonah.

Darnell's Bucky, because he has the one arm. So through the Avengers, are you, Samuel L? I don't know who I am. Don't figure that out, but the Bears. Dan Weider. You guys are good on Fridays, aren't you? You phrased the question is a little bit different. With Spiegel and Holmes on 670 the score. This segment with Dan Weider is sponsored by Potawatomi Casino Hotel.

It's meant to be Spiegel and Holmes off.

Today he is Anthony here and I am Judson Richards, joined out by the athletics.

Dan Weiderer.

Dan, you know, the press conference was good again today.

I know that Ben kind of felt like, man, you guys are really digging deep,

but he used the word despair when talking about week two coming off of that, that Lions

loss, right, 52 to 21. What's most remarkable to you about the way that the team responded

as one 11 to 14 games since that loss to the Lions? It's really crazy to reflect on where everyone's headspace was walking into the Monday of

week three and where we are now heading for the season finale.

It's just, I think, probably the buy-in that Ben retained after two rough games to start the season.

Dan was cooking.

And his ability to get that was a big deal.

And then I think to get the belief of the win in Vegas was a big deal for that team to

understand, okay, let's take a breath here, catch our breath, get our feet under us, and then get rolling.

And they've gotten rolling, obviously, since the by week with the success that you mentioned. And it's just, it's crazy to reflect on what that game was in week two, because neither of these teams resemble that at all as we walk into week 18. And so we'll see what we have in store Sunday at Soldier Field. I was talking to Judson a bit earlier, Dan, just about sort of this being our first season in Chicago,

getting to observe Ben Johnson closely as Bears coach, and you're obviously as well-sourced as

anyone in the industry.
