No further billions of again and just you know the battle back so we'll play. Jay Cutler. Outstanding newspaper he's you know -- good guys around -- list -- you know doesn't. They don't none of them -- yeah. I lose those good -- office of the last Braves this again. Out there. We share the moment you. We're both happy about we definitely haven't beaten anyone ever played but we are making improvements would there. There's still win over the Seahawks to go to 21012590. The final from Seattle. At least personal general manager Jim down the national football only. On Sports Radio SIX SEVENTY The Score Chicago sports page. And volley at -- at Chicago Sports Radio 67. Let's get out the odds are hot Ottawa and -- Eric Snow already know why I do it great."

" Buddy and now great to talk TO problem. Just -- I think we should start with that with the Bears amount we've had people complaining about the the offensive line bill and and they've done something -- kind of remarkable they've rebuilt that line. Pretty much via free agency for the second time in the last five or six years it's not usually done that way I -- and and you know I think -- I think. Three new starters it takes time to get that thing up and going and everybody on the same page does that."

" Absolutely that the most difficult. Aspect of your offense is getting the five guys appliances. Could make a line calls and know where each is going to be in pass protection and when to come off double team blocks -- and and those types of things and they've got to play together in in especially when you bring guys in like early in the -- him. You know that he knew the team in the and you you don't have with consistent five guys from year to year."

" And bill does that when you have a mobile quarterback like -- does that help or complicate the situation when you have the new offensive line trying to get in sync."

" Well I think it it I don't look at complicated I think it takes time for adjustment because you know offensive linemen especially tackle like to know where their quarterback."

" When -- 357%. Are gonna be so they can take the proper dropped some stats and angles and when you get a guy that moves around a little bit."

" He detected you have to understand."

" Let up at the line and have to understand that they do that again it's gonna move and that's gonna make some plays -- so and so they've got to be able to adjust with his movement."

" Billions of run drafts and -- if you followed these are college players and you understand that the business from that aspect. We we obviously saw Sam Bradford go down to injury. Earlier in the year there are still hoping to get him back it up and running but but Sam Bradford a Heisman candidate at the the reigning Heisman champion. Going down with an injury now Tim Tebow. Has has this head injury. And -- and and he's there -- able bye week this week but but it's a question of whether or not to be able to play against LSU and a couple of weeks I Tebow with a concussion I am. You know you look at guys like that he was he's another former Heisman winner is it is it wise for guys that might have the option of the NFL. To stay in school or should they come out it is it an individual situation what what is your advice when you were consulted on that."

" Well they've admitted it's it's always an individual situations and an anomaly and I'm kind of appearance I'm always one of these guys. Fulfill the obligations is the university degree did. To take -- scholarship and get to listen and learn."

" And so you know he should be he should play for the for the amount of time now everything you know -- got to go to situated some present hardships sometimes financial with a family."

" But it affected the quarterback position I'd like to see them -- for their entirety you get a better evaluation. Throughout the the course. Especially at the difficult position to evaluate."

" The downside of this is injury and."

" But I think both of these situations. It's not career threatening obviously. We expect Bradford back later in the year and."

" You know Tebow plays with such a physical presence that."

" You know that this could happen concessions gonna happen with him but I'm sure we'll watch them they won't put him back out there until he's ready to go."

" Where do you stand on -- for a lot of different people talk about him and some people great winner other people doesn't look like an NFL guy where do you stand on."

" Well I I. I like the way he plays the game he's passionate. You know as far as. The evaluation process that is can -- be good enough thrower I think there's ongoing. He certainly has proven. From a situation withers -- play action where he can get the ball to the receiver on time."

" You know I think if you do have ten people on his team."

" You gonna have a little different type offense that appears -- drop back so we're going right now based on what I seen through his career up to this point."

" I do think he's a quarterback prospect."

" He's Bill Carrick our personal general manager and Molly hellish on this -- be brought to -- pace Soldier Field express pace a fresh approach public transportation. In those -- talk about college QBs on. Get into the some of the carousel the QB carousel the league itself but Jimmy Claussen as a junior he's been playing -- the last week or so. But yet as a junior I think people down South -- believe the -- the leadership that. Everyone talked about it may be didn't really show itself inaction but now you've seen a guy who can win games -- late in. Bedecked coming influence is he at this given NFL futures -- too early to tell."

" I don't think it's too early to tell I think you know certainly brought up in -- not since the trolley -- and you know I would like to see him stay and finish his career Notre Dame he showed me a lot last week coming back in the Indians. Purdue leave the winning drive. You mentioned that he had been injured -- definitive -- for awhile so that was pretty impressive. -- see him come back cold off the bench has been picked it came down in the for the winning points but. Once again some of evaluated standpoint the more -- look -- get at quarterbacks especially. That is going to be a passer in the NFL as opposed to you know these -- took some of these."

" Kind of you move guy he he did it just it just takes time further evaluated from that standpoint and you know every snap as important to evaluate them."

" Hopefully these quarterbacks will stay there -- tenure Peyton Manning."

" You know what's interesting is that is the process you go to go through in the evaluation where. You kind of beat the heck at least yeah -- to shreds and you sit there and you look at and I don't know I remember before the draft you mention Peyton Manning. I had a guy. In the a draft guru tell me. You know -- good as he's ever done it yet he's never gonna improve. You know this Ryan -- kids -- look in his side makes you wonder definitely nuts yeah he was an idiot and Manning has gotten better but it's it's. If you go through this process and you selling yourself on things I. State quarterback in particular is impossible to chipped."

" It's very difficult and so the more opportunities divorce situations you put a guy in -- Snapped like as early -- the -- this season. But more of evaluation process -- can make that judgment on him. And certainly you know we off top -- who was ready to come he's elected this day and that's just. So the type of individual that he is you know he felt he needed to. He like college he wanted to go back and see what he could do it tendencies -- year in any did get better and he's gotten better consistently good well."

" It's instinct two and start looking in with three weeks in the league. And into the schedule and teams are pulled quarterbacks a lot of any kids hurt that's a jet and he's coming noted and and in Cleveland we have Brady Quinn didn't do the job now you where'd you -- there are all gone and in -- talk about this earlier there was actually talk in Detroit did to sit Matthew Stafford down. Because of the picks in the first couple weeks. Now they can understand and and and Mali verbalize that the logic of in -- logical. Hate Scott Linehan and and Daunte Culpepper had a history together mowers were successful but when you're -- sixteen don't should turn the page and and go the growing pains of a young guy get him in there and and try to get him up and running."

" I'm with you Brian and I think that they can't get rabbit ears he can't listen to the media no no offense -- you guys can't listen to the fans."

" He's got to have well would you think if your team the best opportunity to win."

" And I think he can start playing multiple chairs with quarterbacks he -- the wrong message to your football team."

" Tom I think he'd be getting into like Stanford you gotta grow grow with the growing pains."

" You know as far as Cleveland Cleveland had thought that decide whether it should be Anderson or Clinton innings so they're gone back and forth. I was a little surprised that they they left left -- so so early. Army got a rookie head coach a very young guy. Maybe -- the noise from the sidelines but. You know now they're going good -- your guys just out for the guys played it. A lower level at Indiana University. I just think that the the veterans on the football team hurt -- of the same look going on as if he failed so we gotta go to Freeman --"

" I'm I'm -- make it it didn't stand by it give it 3456. Weeks of battle for ideas."

" Whether the guys improving or not if he has been then you go to the next guy."

" It's amazing Kansas City their their call for Matt Cassel sit down and Todd Haley offer your guy may and I watch some of that game this weekend. And he on the sideline he -- looks like he's a tenured coaches great to be fired the body language is like what the hell I get myself until. Matt Cassel was a franchise guy from the Patriots adjustment Daniel had to have so why would talk about sit him down now."

" On what you that you should you know based on what they did with the the financial guarantees in the contract and the trade in them as such it's -- for you gotta give him you know he played the first weeks so really he's only played two weeks. And you know their their team is transitioning. You've got to give this guy at that time to grow with in the offense to get new head coach said different -- the situations get."

" Offensive that the -- because they targets coordinator you know the week before the season started so."

" You know you gotta get mad that I wanted to get adjusted to not only the new football team in the wide receivers but also to the new offense."

" He's okay Eric joins us every week at this time of bill I'm -- look at that is if you look at what's one -- around the league you know Jim zorn. Couldn't be on a hotter seat have to lose in that game in Detroit to their first loss in twenty games. But I would argue that the guidance -- drive me crazy is Eric Mangini you know I just don't understand. Some of the decisions that he's making in terms of hold them back information and and weird fines and stuff. On those are two teams that are struggling zorn obviously in an in his in his second year. Is going to be more trouble than Mangini is but but who has Odyssey in the league right now."

" Well I'd probably have to say is award it's a very early rolling -- the going into week four but you know he's got an owner that but it is out front and like that."

" To project. That he's doing everything he can to win they gave Albert -- with a big contracts."

" So he wants results -- so is it nation's capital high profile. So I think he's done see more so than men's team Indies -- first year coach in Cleveland and I think the -- gonna be it. A little patience with him so right now I'd I'd have to say is or what."

" I I I don't understand why I'm in GYYU retreads guys like that I mean I I know Mangini probably -- a raw deal in New York because things happen at the end of the year with the quarterback and all -- You know he I know we came out of Cleveland he was once an assistant there but man I. It's weird the way things work in this -- it really is -- look at all the Super Bowl winning coaches that are sitting out there waiting to come back in the league. And maybe that's one of the reasons someone told me. Earlier in the year that's why. That's why there was a run on -- and the -- job even though the talent didn't look like it was there. It's a strange league spell when is when you start re -- Re re mobilizing guys when they don't apparently deserve it."

" Well you know -- be interesting you know we believe we talked about it we. Looked at try to find the answer is that. They the thing that probably won't happen but the great thing would be used to give a guy like Lehrer on the air say Randy why would you go with. Eric Mangini instead of -- slightly."

" And then and you know that that's happened since he's come out here that is agent but. You know there's the connection errors in. Like I think and correct me if I'm wrong grinding might know better."

" There's a relationship there with Lerner and Shapiro from the Indians GM and the Indians. Sometimes culpability. You know plays into it I really that kind of surprised me. That that he went up for someone that was let go. That they come in and and take over. There that really shock me."

" Are you there are you -- is an executive to hire a guy like Holmgren who's who's been you know takes a year off and says get recharge he's getting the itch again. Our our -- power who people wonder why I was definitely when he did."

" While in all the problem Billy you're you're behind every guy that -- church other Zach -- if you go out get Schilling and doesn't he want your job is what was his job but you also word that they're burned out in the burn out quicker because -- I had the time off."

" Well mound you know I think you know Parcells -- come back in a different role like that people would -- back you know Parcells --"

" You know certainly power. As it is still young I mean you know people forget how young he was when he first got put the Pittsburgh job and -- fifteen years."

" You know I I think he just have to sit down with ownership and say okay."

" What what that timeframe you know you do have to win tomorrow you're gonna build this thing."

" You know so I think each club each city has a different goal in mind but certainly with. We would Shanahan in power in home room and Jon Gruden out there."

" I mean there's there's a lot of outstanding on both Thailand and it's gotta be attracted to the ownership of the NFL going forward."

" Our bill thanks so much we appreciate it but it was great start there. He's been okay heritage has agreed to a give Minnesota an insight into what goes through with the demise these guys would love to get regular -- I don't think billionaires like to be questioned by Lehman like ourselves like 2640."
