Transcript

00:00I think that it's reasonable to say that he can be, he can and should be, in the ballpark.

00:09In the ballpark.

00:10Like, the Texans have a better left tackle than the Bears.

00:15No doubt about it.

00:16They have Laramie Tunsell.

00:17He's a top three left tackle in football.

00:20Other than that, where would we have said last year, not this year, going into last

00:28year, where would we have said that that Texans team on offense is better than this Bears

00:32team on offense?

00:33Because I don't think we would have said Nico Collins and Tank Dell are better than DJ Moore

00:38and Keenan Allen.

00:39We wouldn't have.

00:40And I don't think we would have said that Bobby Slowick is this proven mastermind of

00:47a play caller and offensive coordinator because he hadn't done it before.

00:50Yeah.

00:51And what is it?

00:52Devin Singletary?

00:53Yeah.

00:54Now they got, they, they added Joe Mixon, Damian Pierce.

00:56And Devin Singletary.

00:57Yeah.

00:58We would not have said that's better than Deandre Swift.

01:00Who's coming off of a, you know, whatever it was, 1100 yard season.

01:04Whoever there's a problem.

01:05I don't know what their center is, but I know that he's better than what the Bears have

01:08had at center.

01:09Fine.

01:10Fine.

01:11Juice Scruggs is there this year.

01:12I don't know what it was last year.

01:13I don't know off the top of my head, but we just would not have, we would not have said

01:18that that situation for Stroud is better than this.
