| 0:34.2 | Adam and Jamie back with some breakouts. |
| 0:36.0 | We did sleepers yesterday. |
| 0:37.4 | All right, Jamie, dazzle me with some quarterback breakouts. |
| 0:40.9 | I just have one. |
| 1:29.9 | So it's a list of 10 players. And we've talked about this, you know, quite a bit in terms of what the hope would be. And actually have three players on his team here, mostly because of the coaching change. So Caleb Williams, you know, saw some flashes when they made the first coaching change after firing April Flues and giving Thomas Brown the ability to call plays. He looked a little bit better. Clearly, there's going to be some significant upgrades coming. Hopefully the offensive line is better, but specifically Ben Johnson, they're not calling plays. So that should lead to two other breakouts for the Bears, which would be one at DeAndre Swift. if he gets the lead role there for Chicago in their backfield, and the other would be Romo Dunezay. We'll see if Keenan Allen's back. But if he's gone, Dunez has the ability to take a step forward. I know you'll come at me with all the silly metrics that you hit about Romo Dunezay and how bad he was. but there's a lot to like about the situation for him as a first round talent with another first round talent at the quarterback spot and now play caller that will hopefully |

| 1:37.3 | just because he's been with Ben Johnson once upon a time in Detroit. We know he has some short |
| 1:42.4 | yardage woes struggled in that regard last year with the Bears. |
| 1:46.6 | But if he does remain in the lead role, |
| 1:48.6 | which is what I expect because of what he was paid last season, |
| 1:51.6 | that even if he's sharing with Roshan Johnson or maybe another rookie, |
| 1:54.0 | that he will hopefully be the Jemir Gibbs Light version of this, |
