Welcome back to the Charter podcast.

My name is Ruthie Polinsky, alongside Alex Shapiro.

This podcast is brought to you by St. Xavier University,

and we are here on this beautiful Wednesday, getting ready for the Bears and Commanders

Matchup that has been flexed into the 425 Eastern 325

central time slot on the CBS slate.

And obviously everyone highly anticipating this quarterback matchup, number one,

up against number two, Caleb Williams, up against Jaden Daniels.

We are not so sure we are going

to be getting that matchup as it stands at the time of this taping, Alex Shapiro. And I think for

Bears fans, there's a little bit of mixed feelings when it comes to whether or not Jaden Daniels

will be on the other side of this matchup. Yeah, I mean, they flex this, let's be honest.

I mean, the commanders are a good team.

The Bears look like a good team.

But the reason this was flex was for Caleb Williams against Jaden, Daniels.

Daniels has been spectacular in the early goings of the season,

and Caleb Williams has really come along.

So obviously, one camp says, I want to see that matchup of the number one overall pick and the number two overall pick.

And then I know there are fans.

I know that there are people out there who say, actually, let's take the easier matchup without the rookie phenom and have a better opportunity for our team to win.

Interestingly, I asked a bunch of bears, hey, would you be disappointed if Jaden Daniels can't go?

And to a man, the answer was pretty much unknown.
