Summary

JJ Stankevitz and Cam Ellis get together during the Bears' bye week to tackle everything plaguing the scuffling offense. The guys look at the issues on the offensive line, including the question of what to do with the struggling Kyle Long (2:45), the inconsistent run game and how David Montgomery is being stifled so far (10:45), the lack of production from some key skill position players (16:30), and the continuing unknowns at the QB position (22:45). Then, Cam & JJ delve into some things that HAVE gone right this season, like the defense withstanding regression, the team's overall competitiveness, and Eddy Pineiro locking down the kicker spot (28:45).
