Welcome into the Undercenter podcast.

I'm Lawrence Holmes.

I'm excited to talk some Bears Packers with our Bears insider Cam Ellis.

The Under Center podcast is brought to you by the sprinkler fitters union local 281.

It is Packers Week, and we are going up to Hall to find out the latest

right now. What it means to me to be a Chicago bear, it's an easy question. It means everything

to me. That means rich tradition, black and blue division, defense, legends, linebackers.

The history of it.

I mean, I'm a big history guy, so understanding this was one of the first franchises, just

kind of blows my mind, honestly, that was able to be a part of that.

The city, just the nostalgia of playing for a story franchise, the story franchise of the running back position with guys like Gail Sayers and Walter Payton and being able to follow in those footsteps.

So being a bear means everything.

What more can you say?

What's it like to be up there this week knowing that it's not just a Bears Packers Week,

but it's a week where the Bears have an opportunity to stay in this fight?

You know, it's sort of interesting.

I was talking about this with someone the other day, and it almost overshadowed that it is Packers Week because it's just such a,

like, the Bears have to win every single week.

So there's almost the sense of they're putting the Packers aside.

And it's not necessarily just their opponent, but more so they're looking at sort of internal improvements

and how they can play sort of their best game because those, you know, shooting themselves

in the foot has been such a problem throughout the year.
