| 0:00.0 | Oh, who am I? That's right, I'm Ballas Jones Jr. because I'm up yet another punt in another game for the Bears. |
| 0:08.8 | This is John's Gloo here with Sports Talk, Chicago. Why is Ballas Jones still returning punts? |
| 0:14.9 | Why is Ballas Jones still returning kicks? Why is Ballas Jones even on this Bears team anymore? Yeah, I went there. Why is he a part of this |
| 0:26.0 | promising organization? Why is this one bad cog still a part of this team? What benefit does he |
| 0:35.2 | bring to them besides, hey, if he somehow gets the ball in his |
| 0:38.4 | hands, watch out. Yeah, that's if he could catch the ball that goes into his hands. |
| 0:44.1 | Bellis Jones muffed at another punt on a hop, and he decided somehow, some way to go for it, |
| 0:50.7 | and he muffed it, lost the ball, bears lost the possession. Huh, does that remind you of anything? |
| 0:56.9 | Because I remember last year, two times in fourth quarter situations in which the bears were leading, |
| 1:03.2 | there was a punt and ballast dropped the football. Both those games, the bears were in front, |

| 1:22.6 | actually a helpful piece of that. He single-handedly cost the Bears two games, so good for him in that |
| 1:28.7 | situation. But we're past that now. This year's about winning. This year's about progress. This |
| 1:33.5 | year's about development, legitimate development. This year's about potentially making the playoffs. |
| 1:39.2 | Can you tell me today that Bannis Jones, Jr., should be on this team moving forward. Can you envision him |
| 1:45.8 | being the Bears punt return man, kick return man in a playoff game when the stakes are that high? |
| 1:52.2 | If he can't even catch a ball in the preseason when the stakes are this high, how can he do it |
| 1:57.0 | when they're raised up to here. You get my point, right? |
| 2:02.6 | You get why I dropped the football to open up this video, right? |
| 2:05.8 | It might have been funny, but this is ridiculous. |
