Why are you there? I'm sitting on a big Hogue seat. So Adam Hogue, let's not freak out. Hogue is- Got your illness.

He's got- I did not get Hogue sick and I- I think I sound like 3% better today. That's better, yeah. Let's look better. He got more color to you. Okay, good. I guess yesterday it was- Hopefully you won't rush to the bathroom and, you know, multiple times again.

I did go five times. Five times. It was- Well, because I- I was sitting in my office and there were several times where you were thundering past and I was like, check out that guy's 40 time.

I- I- I was going for it yesterday because every time we went into a read, I'm drinking so much tea to do what I can and okay, I feel fine.

But so Hogue's out at Northwesterns pro day hanging out with Ryan Poles hanging out with Matt Eberflue's hanging out with Peter Skaratsky hanging out with Pat Fitzgerald, Kevin Sennin, Nick is here. The bears are making- I- I thought we were going to go live last night.

I don't know where you guys were at. I was- I was calling everybody. Come on. We- the bears have signed the Marcus Walker. He's- he's their best defensive end, defensive lineman.

Three- your $21 million deal. Dude started five games last year. Nick, I know you were fired up when you got the Walker news.

Uh, yes. Fired up is one way to describe it. Um, I just started watching the film on him in a half a football that I watched. It was with him and Nate Davis.

Obviously coming from Tennessee Titans way more impressed what- what I saw from Nate Davis and why it makes sense for the bears, bringing him on, Walker didn't really show me much.

I saw more tape to do, but to me at this point, he just seems like a guy.

He- he is- he's the Alkadine Muhammad replacement. He has nowhere to go, but up. That's all I'm looking at him. 32 QB pressures last year. Let's give our credit to pro football focus for that tidbit.

Uh, he posted a pressurator more than 10% in each of the last two seasons. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. Uh, best season of his, uh, his NFL career last year.

Seven sacks. He started six games for the Titans. Apparently we are just, you know, Titan Central over here right now. Let's let's go. Nate Davis. Let's go to Marcus Walker.

Uh, you know, Tennessee's a fine town. It's I just think as we all sit back here. And of course we're being, you know, everybody loves what.

How aggressive the bears are being. And I think the belief in Ryan Poles is incredibly strong after the trade out at number one.

Uh, but I do think it's an interesting day yesterday. Tremaine Edmonds. Anybody have that on their, on their bingo card? I know I didn't. Uh, and so we're, and, and T. J. Edwards, two linebackers.

So doing a little different here, Kevin Kayne. Good to see you, by the way. Thank you. Thank you for having me on. Thank you for letting me fill a seat.

I feel the seat, um, CTO Bulls less like the Oscars when I got. Yeah. But I feel a little bit more comfortable talking bears more, more so than bulls.

And yes, it was interesting to see what the bears did yesterday that they went out and short up the linebacking core first, um, which, you know, something that I don't think we, we saw coming.

But it was, it was nice to see Tremaine Edmonds obviously has been around. He's, he's a captain. He's a pro bowler. He's coming here. And I think he's going to change that room and really kind of lead that room.

And was it maybe a little bit of an overpay sure, but, but you can, you had, you know, room to overpay at least one guy. Yeah, I don't think they necessarily overpaid the other two guys. So let's go.
