00:00It's the Bears who are getting stacked up front for Caleb Williams.
00:06He was on his back more than a French hooker this year in Chicago.
00:10So they went out and got him some guys that can block for him, but they're aged vets.
00:14It could be dangerous.
00:16Yeah.
00:17Yeah.
00:18You know, Scott, let's let's address the Joe Tooney situation.
00:20I know Chiefs fans are out of their mind.
00:23Why would they want to do this?
00:24Why would the Chiefs give up on one of the better guards in the league?
00:28Well, we have to understand, Scott.
00:29Joe Tooney is 32.
00:32You never want to wait too late to trade a guy who's in the twilight of his career.
00:36Joe Tooney, now, he's not a left tackle.
00:38He played left tackle in college, but he played left tackle in the Super Bowl because they
00:41were out of left tackles.
00:43It didn't go well.
00:45What's concerning is why are the Chiefs giving up an all-star type of player in Joe Tooney?
00:51Because he's older.
00:52Now, he's going to the Chiefs, excuse me, he's going to the Bears, right?
00:55And this trade will not be official until 4 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday.
01:00He'll pass the physical.
01:01It won't be a problem.
01:02The Bears' offensive line was dreadful.
01:04I know Caleb Williams held on the ball too long.
01:07Some of the sacks are clearly on him, be clear.
01:09But they had to dress their offensive line.
01:11They've not gotten it right through two general managers.
01:16It's been a long time since they've had a quality offensive line.
01:19Yeah, it is not good.
01:21So Joe Tooney will be their left guard.
01:23Now, they traded for Jonah Jackson.
01:24Now, here's the story with Jonah Jackson.
01:27He signed for 17 million a season last year coming over from the Lions.
01:31He was going to play center for them.
01:33He did.
01:34Then he got hurt and didn't get his job back, and he got benched.
01:37So they wanted to trade him.
01:39They found a trade partner, and they found him a trade partner with the Bears.
01:43He should be starting guard.
01:45I'm told he's way better off at guard than at center, though, again, he could play center.
01:50So theoretically, they've got their two starting guards.
01:52I'm told they need a center, and they're going to bring in a left.
01:55They're going to bring in some competition for Braxton Jones at left tackle.
01:59So they still have some work to do.
02:02One of the things I learned at the Combine was they were going to be very aggressive
02:05in free agency and or the draft.
02:07So they're not done yet.
02:09It's about building around that offensive line for that quarterback.
02:13And of course, new head coach Ben Johnson, who came over from Detroit, and remember,
02:17he was with Jonah Jackson there.
02:19That's why they got him, because the two know each other.
02:22So they'll be reunited here.
02:23But they've got to rebuild that offensive line.
02:25Another thing, look for the Bears to be aggressive with the edge rush, the edge rush in free
02:30agency and or the draft.
02:32They're not good enough there.
02:33Their pass was quite frankly pathetic last season.
02:37And what about Keenan Allen?
02:38Are they going to keep him so that Williams can throw to him?
02:42Are they going to throw to the water boy and the ball boy?
02:46Who are they going to throw the ball to?
02:48Well, Romo Doonsday was the first rounder last year, and DJ Moore, their two starting
02:52receivers.
02:53Keenan Allen, in the twilight of his career, Scott, by the way, he's a free agent.
02:57Keenan Allen is a number three receiver at this point of his career.
03:00He's a borderline Hall of Famer, a phenomenal football player by the way.
03:05He is awesome.
03:07He does.
03:08But he is a possession receiver.
03:09He's not a guy that, he's made so much money.
03:11He's not well into his 30s now.
03:14He's not going to make a big free agent deal.
03:16But they need to add a third receiver, Cole Kometis, their tight end.
03:19This is a team, Scott.
03:21If they could ever get it right in free agency in the draft with Ben Johnson being a pretty
03:25dynamic play caller and schemer offensively, they've got a chance because every year we're
03:30looking for that surprise team.
03:32This could be it with the Bears.
03:33We'll talk more about them going forward though.
