| 0:00.0 | All right, I think this is going to be our favorite interview at the NFL Combine. |
| 0:04.0 | Absolutely. |
| 0:04.5 | Four years with the Chicago Bears 11th. He says that to everyone, though. No, I don't. I really don't. I really don't. I actually mean it. I actually mean it. Thank you very much. Listen, anytime we get to talk to Alan Robinson, it's exciting for all of us because what you did in Chicago, what you did in your career. So, Aera, I appreciate you making time. |
| 0:21.7 | I appreciate it, man. |
| 0:22.4 | Thank you guys for having me. |
| 0:24.4 | What's your, It's exciting for all of us because what you did in Chicago, what you did in your career. So, I appreciate you making time. |
| 0:21.8 | I appreciate it, man. |
| 0:22.3 | Thank you guys for having me. What's your sense? Let's just go right into the Bears of today right now. There's all this DJ Moort talk out there. You watching him and the Bears making this decision, he's obviously getting a lot of money. but if he was not in that room for Chicago, |
| 0:38.1 | would you think that'd be a big problem? |
| 0:40.2 | No, and I say that respectfully. You know, I say that respectfully in a sense of obviously we saw what their group was like. Rome missed a lot of time last year with injury. But then you also, you know, you have, you have Colston, you know what I'm saying, who played |
| 0:54.9 | great football. So as far as when you look at the past catchers, you have him as a weapon. |
| 0:58.8 | Obviously, you have Rome who will be back as a weapon, you know, just Luther Burton also was a guy |
| 1:04.3 | who I think he showed tremendous upside last season with just the times where he got the ball. |
| 1:10.3 | I felt like watching him play every single time he got the ball, you know, he was able to make a play. And I say that because when you see the playmaking ability, when you have young players like Luther Burton and like Colston Loveland, now in year two for those guys, they're going to want the ball a little bit more. And not just them wanting the ball more, but Ben Johnson is going to want to get them the ball more. |
| 1:30.3 | I mean, those guys show tremendous flashes of what they could do. |
| 1:33.3 | So now as you kind of factor in and look at the ball distribution on how that goes, |
| 1:38.3 | you know, when it looks to, you know, obviously, DJ Moore in his contract, |
| 1:42.3 | and I mean, we saw what the general manager said as far as just the overall situation. So it doesn't sound like it's assuing that he's going to be there. Right. So when you have situations like that, I think they have a really young group that they can kind of lean on to whereas I think they're built to kind of transition out of that. Yesterday, you know, we were talking a little bit off the air and you said |
| 2:01.2 | Ben Johnson is unbelievable at scheming, right? You had that year with him in Detroit. You got to see it up |
| 2:06.6 | close and personal. So I'm just curious talking about those wide receivers. I know he can scheme anybody up, |
| 2:12.2 | right? But who would you say of that group? And you can include Colston in in that that fits what Ben tries to do the best? |
| 2:20.6 | I think Luther Burton, man, like I said before, man, watching his run after catch from whether |
