You are locked on 49ers. Your daily San Francisco 49ers

part of the locked on podcast, your team every day. All right here we are another locked on podcast network Wednesday

crossover episode Brian Peacock here of locked on 49ers. I'm with

Lauren Cox of Lock On Bears.

Always a pleasure, Lauren.

How are you, sir?

It seems like we've been able to do these quite a bit

the last couple years with the Bears and 49ers coming across each other

and it's always a good time when we get together for these.

Absolutely, you know, I was thinking the last time I talked to you, I think was last year, but I think we

actually in the off season did, I think you joined me as part of the mock draft where I had, you know,

people mocking for their teams and you had a bears pick but I can't remember who you chose in our mock draft for the bears it might have been Roquon Smith actually

Now that yeah I got it because Roquon wasn't there for the 49ers when the 49ers were picking I do remember that

Yeah probably would have been Roquon or if there was a top pass Russia still sitting on the board I might have gone that direction because that was the pre-Kaleelimac days but yeah probably a real qua.

Yeah, Kaleel mac that's a good place to start he's not bad, huh? Yeah, you know he did it's a worthwhile trade that is certainly paid off and now he's getting that

pro bowl not adding some nice hardware to this pass rush for the Bears defense, but clearly

a defensive player

of your candidate someone in fringe MVP discussions at the least

among some of the national NFL media though hard for a non-quarterback to win that days and clearly just

a complete and utter difference maker and you know everything you hear about Kulele Mac

all the hyperbole that you might think it's pretty much all true for how big of an impact he's had on this defense.

Yeah, and I got to imagine even when he's not collecting sacks
