Did the Chicago Bears OVERPAY for Jeffery Simmons? Trade Breakdown

There we go. Now we're recording. Hey, how about that? Oh, there it is. How about that brew crew, baby? That's cool. Oh, look. How about that brew crew? Give it to him. Give it to him. I'm doing the show. This is a part of the show, yeah. Give it to him. You know, I used to be a brewer's fan. Oh, did you? Yeah, and now I switched to the Dodgers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut up. I'm not a fan of any of these. Why does that feel like that? Hey, listen, listen. I was going to say, why are you a Dodgers fan? No, yeah, I was like, oh, two years ago. Well, realistically, before the cheat, I was a black star. Yeah, I mean, I've always been a Dodgers fan, because of the Brooklyn Dodgers, they brought up Jackie Robinson. I've always been a Dodgers fan, had a Dodgers jersey as a kid, my dad had me in the Jackie Robinson jersey, I still got a Jackie jersey. There's a boo, boo, boo, boo. I hate the Dodgers. He don't like black people in baseball. You know what I mean? I love it. He's trying to go back to the days of bang, bang, you're bad. Yes, Keith. Somehow, y'all, it's the greatest player alive, they say. Sounds like a hater. Sounds like a hater. Breeze Nation, what's good? It's your boy, Pat the Designer. Back at it again. Appreciate y'all for tuning in to Show of Love. As always, we got the squad in the building. Yeah! As always, Super Producer Joel Holt, Mr. Media himself, Jordan J.C., the pettiest man alive, Mr. Pete Kidd, and of course, Mr. Drew Better. If you knew better, you knew better. Say who better? Nobody, bro. Let's go! There's a reason the camera is angled this way. Somehow, Drew is getting away with it. But, you know, you got to watch yourself there because we're all still perked up about Jeffery Simmons. Yeah, I mean, I love that Joel put in the update video yesterday and he was like, is this a pants on live? No, it's not. No, it's not. I'm sorry, bro. That was good comedic timing. We got to talk about Jeffery Simmons and what he brings to the Chicago Bears team. previewing this game. All that and more in today's episode of the Windy City Breeze Sports Talk Daily. Hit that like button, subscribe to the page. Leave a five-star review. Y'all know what to do. Also, got to make sure that we technically should talk about this thing. They might be in Illinois. Like, you're going to give me a stadium update. That mug said, they might stay in Illinois now. I said, all right, bro, you're giving me the same update. You're just writing the same article. You're changing a few dates and a few names. No, no, no, it is a very, it's one of those Rubik's Cubes. If this happens, then that happens. If this happens. But what they did, that rendering, though, that rendering was sexy. I ain't going to lie to you. Yeah, but that's supposed to be where the Sox are leaving. That's supposed to be at 35th and Shields. Like, you're not putting the Bears at 35th and Shields. Why? But it's right back to major train hubs. And they got to do something with it, so why not? That's if the city keeps it. I would love for there to be something that remains the 35th and Shields, of course, just to keep that part of the Southside alive. You kind of know how to resolve that situation. Bridgeport is stupid. Bridgeport is cracking. Bridgeport is stupid. Bridgeport is still right. So they're right or racist. No, but the thing is, you know they got to put something there because you still have a certain persuasion that's predominantly over there. But they're not going to let that area just diminish. Let the Fire go there. The Fire got a new stadium already. Name another team that got a stadium. Everybody else got a stadium. Except the Bears. Tear that joint down. The White Sox got a new stadium coming. The Sky got a new stadium coming. The Fire got a new stadium coming. The Cubs ain't leaving Wrigley. The Sky got a stadium coming? Yes. Because right now they're off for 20 seconds. It's going to be over by the... It's going to be a part of that whole fire situation or something like that. I don't know. What is it going to be like? Are they going to have gym memberships for like $50 a month over there? It is a possibility. Okay, all right. All right, you can hoop on the WNBA. All right, let's talk a little bit of Bears football here, boys. He says, uh... Yeah, that's probably all the stadium talk y'all are going to get from us. Yeah, that's all the stadium talk you're going to get from us. But Jeffrey Simmons is now a Chicago Bear. We've got to talk about what he means to this team. And of course... What he's going to mean to this defense was, I mean, you guys all saw my reaction yesterday. I was losing my ever-loving mind. But what are your thoughts on the Jeffrey Simmons addition by Ryan Poles? You all go ahead. All right. Well, I am very excited because, one, I feel like this. I feel like Ryan Poles had to go back to the drawing board a couple of times. I'm not saying that I know anything or I was inside of the conversation, But I feel like. He did what he needed to do to go all in and whether that was to convince Borgonzi that Yo, you got to give me this guy. Like, we're in our window now. I will give you whatever you need. And I feel like the first initial maybe discussion was, I'll give you a first, or I'll give you a first and a mid-round pick. So if that meant the first and the fourth, cool. Because a lot of people are saying we overpaid for Jeffrey Simmons, which I kind of agree with. But at the end of the day, like I told you before in our morning breeze, do what you have to do. Don't sit on your hands. So I think Ryan Poles is in the past. Probably would have been like, you know what, first and fourth, all right, you don't want it, all right, we're going to go a different route and get somebody lesser. No, he got the big fish. Borgonzi is not a crazy GM. I know he probably wanted to keep Jeffrey Simmons, but at a certain point, business is business. You're not going to overlook two first-round picks and a fourth to kind of fast-track your rebuild or the future of your team. So I love it. I love that he's here. He's a mauler. Dude is going to rechange the defense. I feel like we have a Super Bowl team. I like the fact that Ryan Poles was just active, period. A lot of times we have these moments where we see all these teams making trades, and we're like, man, Ryan better be on the phone. And because we're fans and we really don't have the behind-the-scenes look, we don't know what's really happening. But to hear that he was actually actively working the phone, to me, formed a lot of different criticisms that we've had about him in the past. To know that he was looking at DeForest Buckman as heavy as he was, and that ultimately came down to him saying, hey, I'm going to go back home. Like, that let me know that he had a game plan regardless, and when it didn't shape up, he was willing to actually open a wallet in terms of picks to make it happen. To me, this isn't just an all-in move, but it's also him actually recognizing that everybody else got better. I need to get better. Say whatever you want to say about it. Micah Parsons get back. That's a different team. Yeah. Say whatever you want to say about Minnesota. That defense is cooking. And then the 49ers themselves have made moves, right? It's a lot of teams that are squalored, but the ones that we may have to come in contact with, they got better. And you have to compete against that. And so the fact that he wasn't, what we say, sitting on his hands, he was willing to actually look at the landscape. No, what did you say? You said sitting on his hands. No, didn't you say like his hands were in his pants or something? Didn't you say, oh, yeah, he's like, yeah, sitting with his hands in his pants. I was like, I don't think that's the saying, brother. It's something different. His hands might be in his pants now, I'll tell you what. He's right, he's right. And the last thing I'll say is this also lets us know that, one, when we get Kobe back, I know you got an update on his injury. We get Kobe back and we... Our defense is complete. You got D.A. something to work with. We've been big critics about that. You spent so much on the offense. You got Sam Rouch, which actually now proves to be a good pickup. Very important. Very important, right? Hey, listen, shout out to you. We'll see how it plays. Very important. But you now gave D.A. something for us to really see what he can dial up. With Montez back, I know TJ's on IR. Is he still on IR? No, TJ was a full practice yesterday. So he's not on IR? He's not on IR. I don't think TJ ever ended up being on IR. I think he just was out. Has he hurt his quad? Yeah. No, hamstring, hamstring, hamstring. This will be the first time, potentially, within the next, let's say, the next year, that DA will have all these premier pieces to do something with if they are still here with us. I would love to see what that looks like. I would love to see D.A. have the opportunity to play Ben Johnson. So overall, I'm happy that he's here. I just got to see it on the field, and I hope everyone's healthy for us to see it all come together. So for me, the panel definitely have, you know, stressed that they wanted Simmons for, since we did talk about free agents, and we talked about Khalil Mack, we talked about Buckner, we talked about Josh Sweat. And for me, it's always been the price point compared to the production that we're expected to get. And I'm very excited to have Simmons join the team because that is now going to free up his ex-Mississippi State teammate to be able to rush the passer at a higher clip. It's going to make Austin Booker better. It's going to make the overall defense better. But I'm actually on the side with the people that are saying that we overpaid. At this point, we had to overpay because, as you said, Seattle got a guard. It's now going to keep Darnold upright. You had San Francisco with all their injuries. They got Buckner and they're expecting Bosa back. So, you know, they're going to be a formidable opponent. And then you, Michael Parsons, like you said, is coming back to Green Bay at some point. And, of course, Minnesota is inflated as their record may be because they literally have the worst offense in the league. Their defense is trouble. So you had to go all in and say F them picks. Personally, I wanted to be in a mixture of. You know, bringing somebody in that was going to help and for the future. But, you know, great proposal, but, you know, putting this Ben Johnson on the table, you know, to get the, to make it happen. Yeah. Besides, you got to put your Ben Johnson on the table. Well, we talked about this yesterday, Wednesday. Two days ago. Wednesday. My only issue is, you know, I want to, in the interest of team building, we get somebody. That, you know, we can have for the long haul. So going for Buckner to me wasn't as attractive because it's like he's older. It's like a one-year deal. If you go for Mack, he's 35. It's a one-year deal. Simmons, which I know you like, and I'm fine with it because this is the top player in his position. And I'm like, well, if we can get him for like, I'd rather try to, if we're going to trade up a bunch of picks, he's going to be here for like seven, eight type of years because he's that type of player. But if we get four or five out of him, it's the best we can do. It's the sins of not being able to draft in the first place. So Simmons being here automatically shout out to King Poles one, for being aggressive to get the best player at the time. And those picks really aren't worth that much. I mean, if we end up winning, they're the 32nd pick. So you're basically getting a very high second-round pick. You're not going to get that type of production. Of potential when you're picking that late in the first round anyways. Unless you do a really good job of scouting. And last time we checked, they haven't done a good job of. I don't know, Luther Burton's pretty good. No, no, I'm talking about D-line. We went through this. Oh, yeah, no. Oh, brother. That's crazy. Oh, did you see how far back I went? I did not realize we haven't tried. Did you see that? You didn't see that clip? Did you clip 10? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. We had to do this live. Hold on, we had to do this live. What are you talking about? The funny part is, I don't know if you saw it. You're not wrong. When's the last time we drafted an all-pro defensive end? Tommy Harris. Oh, defensive end. Defensive end. Richard Dent. I thought. Yeah. I know my thing. Richard Dent. How far back are you? 1983. I know. I know, but I'm starting to speak. That's almost 50 years ago, bro. I know. That's insane. I know, but we drafted. Defensive tackles that made all pros. We've drafted a lot. No, no, no. We have. But we were saying specifically like a defensive end that could be an impact player. We have drafted all pros. Tommy Harris was an all-pro. No, he was like a defensive tackle. Well, I'm saying after basically round two, Eddie Goldman was a second-round pick if I'm correct, wasn't he? I don't know if Eddie Goldman was either second or third round. No, he was second round. But he wasn't first round. The first round we haven't drafted. I mean, Leonard Floyd did not pan out like we wanted him to. Correct. And we have not drafted an all-pro anything. Yeah, technically. Technically, Leonard Floyd is an all-pro, but technically, he wasn't an all-pro for us, but Leonard Floyd has been an all-pro for other teams. I don't think he has. No, Leonard Floyd is a single all-pro. He might have made a Pro Bowl. Yeah, he made a Pro Bowl. He had like nine sacks. We didn't have those 14 sacks for the Rams. I thought he made all-pro that year. He didn't do it for us because he's not here. No, no, I'm saying that's what I'm saying. At least we drafted him. That's what I'm saying because we left. He didn't leave because he was so great. He left because he underwhelmed. He left because he couldn't fit into a three-four. He did not. I hear what you're saying, and we necessarily. Never made an All-Pro. Never made. Okay, I thought he did. Had some good sack seasons, though. You're not wrong. That's why. Next one. Zero Pro Bowls does surprise me because ten and a half. Well, you know what? They were going to the playoffs. The Rams were going deep in the playoffs. He was with the Rams for most of that. But the point is that in terms of what we're doing, I mean, I mean, I'm very happy because now. It takes the questions away. You talk about, I mean, even some of the highlights. This dude is a whole problem. Did you see that one where the center just kind of disappeared? Dude, he just going through people. Oh! It was on CJ Stroud. That's right. Bro, like center snaps the ball, and it's just. Justin Simmons grabbing him. Like, they... I'm telling you, it looks like they took the center out. Yeah. It looks weird watching the highlight. He's built almost kind of like Matt. I do have a question, though. Go ahead. So we went all in, and we don't make it there. Are we still? Okay with us making a move. Why don't we make it? You know what I mean? I'm just saying that because it's a fair question. It's an injury. It's an injury. We already 0-2 in a division. We might not get the best seating. So that's what I'm asking. So we'd love to move, but what if it doesn't pan out? Was Khalil Mack a wasted move? After that first year, it kind of sort of. Well, he got hurt. Yeah, the injury stayed with him. Which is why I said, if he doesn't, it doesn't pan out. I don't think it was a wasted move. I don't think that you ever – we kept saying the entire time, you have to find somebody opposite Khalil Mack. You have to find somebody opposite Khalil Mack. They never did, and must have literally tripled him Khalil Mack. No, this is the thing. The difference is this team – Answer the question. No, it's not because this team is built right. It's built finally right in terms of GM to head coach. The offensive coordinator, the defensive coordinator, the systems are in place. The quarterback's in place. The offense is built. The offensive line is good. Now we have to build defense. The problem is you can't draft that type of quality right now. Now you can build around Jeffrey Simmons because he's now your linchpin of your defense. Even if you rebuild everything, Devin Bush is not necessarily the linchpin. I mean, we got Thiemann, Simmons, and Kyler Gordon, I would say, are your linchpins. I mean, he's a, but he's a good player. He's a rookie. If he becomes that guy, but you're building around Thiemann and Simmons now. Yeah. And Booker. And Austin. And Austin Booker. Booker. This is a Booker. This is only his third year, right? Yeah. So this is, this is, but this is good because the whole point is that if he, he's going to make the whole D line better. Yeah. Does this, does this make motivated dial? Actually better, because we got money tied in here. Motivated Dial's been pretty good this year. He just got hurt. Right. He's been pretty good this year. He makes, I bet you he makes everybody better. Real quick, to answer your question specifically, Drew, if they don't, let's just say what you're expecting, what we all hope to expect. They come up short. And I think before Jeffrey Simmons, we knew that they could possibly make a playoff run. We know they're a playoff team. So now are they making a deep run? If I say they come up short, they get right to where they were last year in the NFC divisional run. And it's a championship game. That's what we're hoping. That's the next step. I'm going to say because you still have control of them for the next, what, three years? Yeah, the next two years. He's on the three-year, $105 million contract. So even though we talked about we gave up a lot for him, You still got your second rounders, who I think Ryan Foles is pretty good at picking in that round. You still got that for the next couple of years. You got your third rounders. So there's still room for you. Yeah, Logan Jones looked pretty good in that little run. He still went in the line to get that center too. Logan Jones looked pretty good out there in that little. Hey, we were sitting there ready to praise him until Roschon fumbled. Yeah, right, yeah, exactly. We was like, yo, Logan Jones whooping out there. Hold on, bro. I gotta also say this, though. We, obviously it's Bears Nation. But we can't discredit what the league has done to make themselves better. I don't – like, when we – everyone has this bang or bust mentality. It's like, this was – this helps us just stay competitive. Like, this helps us stay competitive with these other – it really does. No, this is not – this is not – in my opinion, I would say – I wasn't saying that. That's crazy. Oh, It's bang or bust? It's boom or bust. It is boom or bust. Bang or bust is nuts. It's definitely boom or bust. I heard bang or bust before. my Not bang bust. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. You were talking about the bros. Oh, wow. You met the bros? God. I met the bros. Why did you meet the bros? I was like, hey, yo. No, no, Here's what I would say, right? If you're in a game where you get outdueled, that's different than you being in it. no, no, Like, listen, I also am a different kind of fan, of course. I don't view Josh Allen as a failure as a quarterback. no, no, There's a lot of people that will say he hasn't lived up to his expectations, which I'm sitting here. no, no, I'm like, do y'all remember his draft expectations? They weren't high. They weren't. They weren't. This dude's going to be the next coming of Jesus. He's going to duel with Pat Mahomes. no. They weren't that. Like, I look at what we've seen out of Josh Allen, and I say the reason he didn't go to the Super Bowl is because, arguably, the greatest quarterback we've ever seen on a football field beat him on a one-last-ditch drive. Multiple times. You know what I mean? Multiple times. No, that don't excuse three fumbles. That was one game. No, last year. No, that's one game. Actually, it was his year. No, that's one game. He lost that game. The year where he drove the team down, put them in the end zone. It happened twice. Had them up with the best defense in football was his year. You know what the best defense in football did? Gave it up. Shat the bed multiple times. That's the thing for me where it's like, I wouldn't say Dan Marino's not a good quarterback because he didn't win. I wouldn't say that Aaron Rodgers is not a good quarterback. So what? You don't like Joe Burrow? Joe Burrow made a Super Bowl. You already said it. I never said it. You already said it. I never said I didn't like him. It's time to start asking the hard questions about Joe Burrow. What's the hard question? He's good. I never said I didn't like him. But my point in all of this is if the Bears go and they are one of the best teams in football, clearly, and they go into a game versus the San Francisco 49ers, And you get out-dueled, or you get, you know, like, it's a last-ditch effort to beat you at the end. What are you doing, dog? I'm just blasting some old stuff all the time. Oh, okay. What is this, like, Super Bowl? I ain't got his own Super Bowl. I'm not going to lie to you, bro. It's the Super Bowl. He the new ADHD dog, bro. It's the Super Bowl. He's a kid. Kid got some ADHD, but wow, that's crazy. It's funny. It's the Super Bowl. Man, put it on in front of people. Woo! It's like, what are we doing right now? It's the Super Bowl. But if you go out there and you just get outdueled on a play or whatever, I'm not going to sit there and be like, that was a terrible day. So if it comes down to like, The last play of the game type of deal. Yeah. And we don't make it. That's fine. But it's the fact that, like I said earlier, that my issue was with the whole deal is you love the GM going all in. You see that that Super Bowl window is open. It's just I don't because you just. You didn't want to pay that price. What are you going to get though? Because you got to pay Caleb coming up. You have to pay Luther coming up. If Rome starts the ball, you have to pay Rome. Coles is coming after that. You still got these. You still got the. He got $105 million. Even though you do potentially get rid of Diop, you get rid of Sweat. I'm just like. I'm like, you get rid of all of them. But I'm like, it's such a combination of you have to let your stars align. Because you have to pay these people to get these off the books. But you still have to draft their replacements. And we don't have their replacements on the list. We don't have the replacements on the team just yet. So, for me, you've got to get the Rubik's Cube of everything going forward. But this is how you get the stars to align, right? You've got your quarterback on his rookie deal. You can spend a bunch of money elsewhere. You've spent it on your offensive line heavily. Joe Tooney's not going to play forever. I was going to say, Tooney. But you've spent it on your offensive line. You've spent it now on your defensive line. For the love of God, thank you for doing it on the defensive line. You've got an expensive DB room. You've got expensive line. Like, you're spending it elsewhere. And as those contracts start to fall off, yeah, Poles is going to have to do some wheeling and dealing to make things work. Or they're just going to fall off. But you've got Jeffrey Simmons. You've got Caleb Williams. You've got Ben Johnson. And you've seen that that is a combination that works. You've got the quarterback. You've got the tight end. You've got the wide receivers. And most of them are on those rookie contracts. For Rome, how Rome is playing right now, Rome not getting paid at the same time as Caleb. Hey, brother, are we picking up that fifth-year option? That's what you're getting. And it's not even that he's playing terrible, but you got to show me that you can catch the ball in the end zone before I sit there and say, hey, we have to lock in and pay Rome. That's a conversation that Rome has to prove first. As it stands, Jalen Johnson is $24 million like this year. Montez, $22 million this year. Grady Jett, $18 million this year. And Joe, $24.5 million this year. That's a lot of money tied up in just four players. It is. Those two players. But you know what? You got two of them. They ain't going to be here. Hey, hey. Jalen and Montez. At least three. Hey, but you know what ends up? Well, I don't know. Montez Ball with his boy next to him. They might keep him. They might keep him. They might keep him. I mean, Jalen, Grady. Well, Joe Tooney, I mean, I don't know. Tyreek don't make nothing. Tyreek ain't been paid. You're going to keep Tooney until he comes up to you and says, you know what, sir? I'm done. And Simmons ends up to, what, 20 next year? Because he's at seven right now. Let's go to 30 next year. So 30 next year. But y'all know what I... But see, but also, like, this is a thing where Jonathan Simmons is on the team now. Now you get constructive cap. Now you, you know what I like about this? Ryan Poles put the pressure on himself. He did. He did. To go out and draft the team well. Yes. Versus putting the pressure on DBs that can't keep up with the wide receivers that's in front of them. And so I'm going to go out there and I'm going to just get a defensive lineman that I know is going to make their life easier. You took the pressure off the players on the field and you put the pressure in the front office. I respect that. And I think that that's a good move for you. Hey, I got a hit in the second and third round next year. I can't F it up because I ain't got a first and fourth round pick. You know what I mean? So it's one of those things for me where that's what I want to see my team do. Every year, I want to say F them picks. You can't say F them picks no more. You can't just go out there and do what the Rams do because you get in Ram situations where. There's a lot of bad knees on that team right now. Well, you can't say F the Picks now because you spent the Picks. Well, no. No, no. Because the Rams kept spinning the picks. Because the Rams, I think they don't have a question until 2030. The Rams don't have another pick, I don't think, until 2032. Right, 20, 20, 30, 2032. They did a Ricky Williams. Sir, they have a Super Bowl. But not since they said it. No, no. Not since they said it. They got a Super Bowl from the F them Picks with Stafford. Yeah. Mm-hmm. They just went F them picks again and gave away most of their drafts for miles. I was hearing. Thanks. I get it, but it's also, you still have to build through the draft. You still have to be able to address your deficiencies. And I don't think that Ryan Poles took that pressure off of himself. I think he put more of that pressure on him, which I like. No, because we still have to draft a solid corner opposite Muhammad. We still need to draft another tight end. Potentially because you don't know how Cole is going to bounce back and Cole might be one of them. You just said two tight ends Wait, wait, wait. He does 13 personnel. Will we still need another? No, no, no. It's going to be Hayden. You don't want me. They love, they love Hayden. He just got hurt. They love Hayden. They perked up over Hayden. So you guys and you've got to draft Tony's replacement. So we still need to draft to. When you get good pressure, you make that life easier. The D-line makes all the secondary way better. That's one, maybe two seconds off the clock that someone doesn't have to cover because they're getting to the quarterback. Here's what I say. Here's what I'm more concerned about. Al Harris. That concerns me more than the Bears being able to go out and find a top-flight corner. Because I think they found one in the fourth round this year. I think Malik Muhammad looks really, really good. You know what I mean? I think you found Dylan Thiemann with great value at the end of that first round. I think – like I think – I've said this – I have said this – No, but I have said this for years since Ryan Poles has been here. Whoever the DB guy is can watch my kids. I trust him implicitly. Because we have never talked about having DB issues on this team until Jalen Johnson got hurt. We felt great about our DBs. I trust the DB guy. I'm not worried about replacing DBs. You know what you can't replace as easily? All pro players. And so for me, with Jeffrey Simmons, I think that, you know, he's going to improve this defense. He's going to allow Dennis Allen to call the defense in a way that Realistically speaking, I mean, like, he's never been able to call since he's been in Chicago, and that's what gets me excited. To me, that is worth. This is how the blitz is going to be. And that's what I mean, right? And now, this is the thing. You have a player on the field who, and we were going to do game preview. I'll just do it. Like, we can all give our prediction. We ain't going to. We got five minutes left. All right. But this is what gets me excited about this. You finally have a player on the field that the second he steps onto the field defensively. Everybody goes, yo, he threatened him, him. Watch it. Like, you had that with Kyler Gordon. But Kyler Gordon's a DB. I can shift the line. I can set a chip. I can find a way to knock Kyler Gordon. You see, he wasn't as effective. You see, he wasn't as effective last week as he was in week one. I bet you he effective this week. Oh, I said, hey, you want to get ready to hit the bumps? You got one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Top five. Top five. Top five. I'm feeling good about it. Maybe a little premature on that, but I'll stick with it. You have one of the best play callers in the NFL. You have the best left guard in the NFL. You have the best right tackle in the NFL. You have the best run game in the NFL. You have the best defensive tackle in the NFL. You have the best nickel corner in the NFL. And you're getting back, arguably, one of the best safeties in the NFL. Hallelujah. I said, you got, I said, you got one of the best play callers in the NFL and realistically speaking, you have. Oh, one of the best coaching staffs in the NFL. One of the best punchers in the NFL. Oh, you son of a... Wank, wank, wank, wank, wank. No, no. Give him the flaccid. Yeah! Give him the flex. Give him the flaccid. I gotta see where he rank. Where is he ranking right now? I like that... Where is he ranking right now? If you look at what Poles has done, he's kind of created a Kansas City model. Oh, I saw a graphic like that. Like Reed to Ben, and then the defensive coordinators, who's... Spagnola. Spagnola. I love Mr. Spaggs. And then you just got your... Who's the defensive tackle for the Chiefs? That's who we just got. Chris Jones. Chris Jones. We got him. Chris Jones. We ain't gonna lie, we got better. No, we're better. He is better than Chris Jones. We're better. He's the best defensive tackle in the football. That's you. That's you. No, he is. No, he's literally about, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, he technically is. Hey, hey, hey, DeForest Buckner has some stats that compete with him. Hey, listen, to Meadey's point over here, Troy Taylor is sixth in the NFL in punter growth. Let's go. Double T, baby. He is sixth in the NFL. I give him full credit. You want to know why I love this trade so much? Because Ryan Poles won't have another fourth round pick to spend on the punter. Ha ha ha ha ha! Hopefully another third round pick to spend on the tight end. Eventually, you got to start investing in the defense. No, here's what it comes down to to me. And, you know, at the end of the day in the Jeffrey Simmons conversation, you know, just to bring this to a close, as you head into this Seattle game, you don't feel like there's one side of the ball you don't stand a chance on. Now, do I think we're going to stop JSN? No. No. Why not? You can bracket them. Because nobody. It's Jeffrey Simmons. You can bracket them. I think we can bracket them because they have nobody else on the other side, and they haven't been thrown to their tight end. Sam Darnold will be sacked 15 times. I think they have played seven games this season, right? I believe so. How many games do you think? Jaxon Smith-Njigba's had under 125 receiving yards. I have him, sir. Two. That man has it. That man has it. One, he had 76, and one, he had 104. He had an off night. You know what I mean? A little bit of an off night. That's what I said. What game was it where he was, like, trash by the first three quarters? That's probably half most of the games this season. It was a game where they were locking him down, and then he exploded into the third. Oh, that's the 76-yard game. Well, he ended up finishing with 76 yards. He didn't get a touchdown in that game. His reception's worth 15.2 yards per reception. That was the Chargers. His worst game. His worst game. Punch is Rome's best game. Sam Darnold in the mouth. We'll get 25 sacks. On Monday night. I'm exaggerating. I don't know if you are, actually. But you got to look at it. But now, they didn't say what Simmons' snap count is going to be, but he's definitely going to be playing. He's definitely going to play in that Monday night game. So now that pressures. Sam Darnold and to make it some bad plays. J.S. Hill, worst game of the season. His worst game is Rome's best game. Yeah, 94 yards is Rome's best game. this So for the prediction, I think with Simmons playing, if he's on a limited snap count, he gets in for half the snaps. year Let's just say because he's new. He's going to disrupt enough for us to be able to be very competitive in this game. I'm thinking it's going to be a low-scoring game anyway. you. Yeah, me too. What you got your score for this? I'm going to 20 to 13. What you got? 10-13. You got a real low score. We going to war. What you got? I ain't doing all that. I think they're going to try and outdo the record that they have They haven't allowed 200 yards yet. It's 180 yards. 48-2. Did you see what they did to the Goats? Right. Yeah. Hey. Hey. I said 20. Hey. I'll say this, though. I'll say this, though. The advantage that the Bears have. We got more pass catchers. You got a chance to watch the Goats. You got a chance to see where they messed up. Because, really, Pat Mahomes just had a bad game. There were receivers open, and he didn't hit them. And you got a chance to. Who's receiving the phone? Nobody's home. Hey, hey. Travis Kelsey ain't Travis Kelsey no more. Travis Kelsey been balling this year. But his receivers are young. They're just not very good. Yeah, no, Travis Kelsey still having a good year. I got a 17-14 game for the Bears. I think it's going to be a defensive slobber. The Seattle Seahawks arguably have the best defense I've seen. Like they are. Oh, we got a fumble on the first play. All right, we got to get live. We got to get live. All right, 17-14. Joe, what you got? 21, I'm sorry, 24-21 Bears. 24-21 Bears. So, as always, the entire panel's bared down out here. And it feels like that's not a crazy thing to say. It's not a crazy thing to say at all. Hey, man. If we can minimize the penalties and lock in. And that'll be, control the time of possession, but minimize the penalties. I think we can beat them. Hey, man, we appreciate y'all for tuning in and showing love.
