I've been wondering why Jeremy has been in a bad mood all day.

0:03.5

Listen, it's better than fun.

0:04.5

I can't figure it out, Rico. Oh, my God. All right. In all seriousness, the injury report is out. TJ, former player. You'll be able to give us a guide here. David, do you want to provide the injury report, please? Sure, I'll start with the Bears first. Kyler Gordon out. Grady Jarrett, defensive tackle is questionable. And then the ones that people will really worry about, T.J. Edwards, Jalen Johnson, DJ Moore, have no game distinction. All right. So best linebacker. He's back. He missed week one. Jalen Johnson missed week one. Grady Jared from what I've read in the Chicago, not papers, but media, good chance he plays. He's 400 pounds of angry. That's changed from early in the week. I thought, you know, his knee injury, whatever, I think it was a knee. It is a knee. It was going to be a couple weeks, but who knows?

I mean, nobody on that list really changes my outlook on the game. Well, I mean, T.J. Edwards, a hell of a hell of a player. Don't get me wrong. And T.J. Edwards is a really good linebacker. You're facing two really good linebackers again. And then Tremaine Edwins is, he's really good as well.

1:10.5

They're certainly going to take a look at, uh, what Quay Walker and Edger and Cooper,

1:15.4

the Packers linebackers did last week.

1:17.6

And man,

1:18.6

it looked like they had some tips on some plays because every time it was a run play,

1:22.4

those guys were playing downhill and play action.

1:24.5

They were just like almost backing up.

1:26.5

No, I'm not saying that, but maybe like, maybe you can pick up a tip on somebody's stances

1:31.1

or formations or, hey, when they motion, they're 80% this.

1:35.3

You know what I mean?

1:36.0

So that's going to be something that I know it's week one and new offensive coordinator.

1:41.0

That's weird.

1:42.3

Like I used to have to be very cognizant in my stance because I knew just watching myself which way I was going without even playing the play based off of what my feet looked like. And look, these guys are so good at self-scouting. And hey, anytime you're in a two point, you do this or, hey, when your feet are a little bit more stagger more staggered like it's 80% this like let's change it up a little bit to throw off the other team i'm not saying that's what happened um but just watching the speed that those linebackers played with it was like man it looked like they knew it was going to be a run right there the thing is they played with that speed last night too. Yeah, they did.

2:17.7

And I'll tell you, man, that is the Micah Parsons effect.

2:20.4

Like, you bring a player in like that and it just raises.

2:23.3

Why would we do that?

2:24.3

Payson levels?

2:25.8

Go ahead.

2:26.4

Get out of the way.
