" At least personal general manager -- down the national football only."

" SIX SEVENTY The Score Chicago sports page."

" I had 25 Elliott Stanley at Chicago Sports Radio six -- the -- Quickly visit would -- there being brought -- Patrick BMW Cadillac and shopper also might touched on Sunday's event of course it is you know. Stop by the venue to play tables and watch games on the sixty -- screen TV. Plus check up the sport for you posted broadcast report after averaged about a football game."

" And let's get out the -- hot item of him in the man himself is okay Eric and bill how are you today undergrad. I don't I don't where do and magic were we got a bye week this week in Chicago so we're -- Finally at calming down and popping our head up and looking around the NFL and we see. A lot of interesting things going on in the league obviously the game last night bill was a was a ton upon. If you're a fan of offensive football and and of course everybody likes offense. What did you think of that of the whole Brett Favre situation. Is that a good thing for the lead. That he ends up in Minnesota or is that is that a bad thing that it that a player effectively to -- ago."

" Well you know it's free agency that given the opportunity to move from team to came in and I think it's a good thing it's certainly."

" Well let's talk about her at all all week prior to the game last night and as you said it was a tremendous into watch very. Very much offensive oriented them both quarterbacks played well and I was very impressed with Brett -- arm strength and his accuracy and --"

" He couldn't have scripted it any better."

" Though you start looking at the division in particular now Minnesota still undefeated they've had a pretty good -- all the schedule lies. The Bears did get to go jump up past the Packers now it. -- way through the season are are we seeing it the real race series are going to be the Vikings and -- chase and then more or is it surely tell that."

" It's too early to tell that but I think with the with the likes -- and Bears 31 of the fact that 22 I think it's obviously going to be a three team race we'd have to play -- going forward. And that I'd you know I'd look for. I look for a good tight race totally down to the end."

" You know -- you like to play the old game from Sesame Street 21 of these things that went the other. I if you look at till the teams that have unbeaten records in the league you need to Minnesota and the the Giants in New Orleans and Indianapolis and hoops one of these things is that like the other Denver. Are we not giving them the respect they they deserve and and can and really along the same lines. You got Carolina and Tampa and and Tennessee and -- Cleveland and Kansas City and Saint Louis and Tennessee is one of the teams that is winless it it's just odd to me that you have a team like Denver winning all their games that a team like Tennessee losing Pollard."

" Well first quality they Denver you know a lot of turmoil prior to this season into the traded the quarterback than the Brandon Marshall. If she's off the field. I thought. You know looking on it yet again as the -- done a great job would try to. Minimize the distraction is that he can't let I think he got to look to the defense but he looked at Mike Nolan and what he's done on the defense he's taken over. Podium is defense and I thought the game against Dallas. You know ballots came in a wounded little bit with the injuries to their runners but still. They have some weapons it was so Witten who didn't get much action from Tony Romo which surprised me but. You know they -- positioned to tie the game lately games so I think he'd have -- credit to. Mike Nolan in the defense. Certainly Kyle Orton played very very very. Accurate and manage the game well didn't make any mistakes. That hurt them as the game went along so. I think that they they weren't benefited by starting off with a kind of an easy schedule but I think the good first good test. Was that the Dallas now they've got New England come -- and so I think we'll get a better read as we go forward. And it be shocked me that there are 04. You know they've had some issues. It it appears to me that they missed Albert Haynes worth more than than it was it was thought early -- From a defensive standpoint they've they've struggled against the run. And they've really is there a desperate need of land does that stop the -- downhill trend here. But that that fact that the -- four after the quarter car."

" Yet Jeff Fisher was very is that while pull the trigger on the quarterback and -- I know that Kerry Collins has been their foreign and help manage an offense but. I understand it that John all the -- serve at some point don't you have to do something we we have Illinois coach runs hook saying I didn't. Our bench juice Williams because that he was bad I need a spark if you're that team to what you need to spark at this point."

" He had a deal but I can't we don't get -- after. Evaluating the situation. Field still build that. The best opportunity for the Titans to win is to have -- called the quarterback. I'm sure -- they'll be continuing evaluation process they'll go forward each week could do that. And if it continues obviously the downhill side than you know look for him to make a switch but. You know after after the first four games he's still believe in carrying he still -- to carry give them the best opportunity to win next Sunday."

" He's built Eric our personal general manager joining us here Mully and Hanley on the score and bill. -- you look at you mention Mike Nolan and Mike Nolan obviously coming from San Francisco goes into Denver. -- does that defense they switch schemes they they traded out to go to a 34 they bring in I don't know what -- 56 new starters despite new starters. And and they have results and and now people look at Mike Nolan said while he's having a good year. Maybe the same thing can be said about Greg Williams -- New Orleans he's brought and these are the guys that struggles -- coach but we know he's been a great defense of my that he comes in and -- they wanna game New Orleans when a game last week based on their defense. Do you guys like that become part of the conversation as as head coaches debate did it'd be that quick turnaround in league."

" Well you know I think every situation is different. Yet that can't be it can't be that quick return. And sometimes you know when he goes to situations and you look back and evaluate you know. With the kind of the Peter principle -- because level I'm obviously they're both outstanding defensive coordinators. Both of them did not have the success they wanted to head coaches. You know we live in the country that you know give you second chances and an opportunity. So certain bill will be in the conversation. And that I don't think they'll be in the conversation ahead of the guys that are standing out there though having we're talking about Mike Holmgren and Jon Gruden Mike Shanahan. You know so I would think that certainly those people. Are are ahead of Gregg Williams and -- though it."

" Yeah and they -- the numbers six. Guys with Super Bowl Riggs sixth head coaches they could possibly come back Dexter but don't hold -- one -- were gonna get a quick scoreboard update from Bob Mark Brody mark. --"

" He's always round based battles -- marker -- Chicago -- the ultimate painkiller call 1800 the walls for info. Still -- Brett Favre -- Cancer felt nervous as a four games and they went out and threw three touchdown passes during Minnesota's thirty to 23 win against Green Day. On the Bears everybody's going to be fine was Lovie Smith's take on injuries to Devin Hester Adrian Peterson and this guy --"

" You're on you're just both quarterbacks we'll find -- because doing -- again today. You know I'll be different local."

" And that's what he told Mully and Hanley here on the score this morning and Oxford is she an in the white and one in England as the plays for the Chicago Bulls today playing an exhibition game against Utah Derrick Rose may not play because of his ankle. Baseball play in game today in Minnesota Detroit versus the twins for the right to be called AL central champs. And beat the Yankees in the playoffs we will see if Miguel Cabrera is on the line up their -- off. Bruised up over the weekend had an altercation with his wife for what she temporarily was taken into custody no charges and he -- And it does not look like Ryan -- will be considered as the cubs' new hitting coach -- they brought to you by seven bridges golf club. Score weather for today of possible rain and high of 61 and it is -- by -- on that Chicago land's leader in comprehensive physicals. And body -- a marker audience this is the official home for Bears fans Chicago Sports Radio SIX SEVENTY The Score. At SIX SEVENTY The Score backup."

" All right Nick Markakis are -- on score being blocked by the second clinics in Chicago for more information check out sickening Chicago knockout. And let's get back to be out there I -- Eric."

" And you know -- talked about this idea of a head coaches and you know we know NFL not for long. There has been that I believe it is seventy different guys hired already. This decade an average of seven. New coaches leaving every season if you go back I think it's over fifteen years. And then you talked about it that the guys that are on this and the and that and the kind of waiting to hear their. Billick tower dungy gruden Holmgren -- that the names are. Our our big time guys that might wanna get back in the league next year and bill I don't know what the philosophy is I -- it does it doesn't change by team. Whether you want the big name guy at five million a year Claussen meet some of these guys Holmgren -- and make him seven right around their do you want the big named -- what what your philosophy be do you want the big -- guy. It comes -- might actually want your job when Hiram or would you take a guy and and -- prefer somebody that you could be either kind of we work on guys it's been through the process before has little thing you want a fresh bodies that you can mold the way you want a coach to be."

" Well I think. Not to dodge your question I don't think there's a black a way to answer I think it goes peace in the that the individual situations. Look I would take Dan Snyder if if they're not successful and he's he decides that. Go get a new coach. You know he he -- the high profile bad you know he's gonna go after one of those named coaches to have Super Bowl ring that. That it that have -- the name. You know other other owners might you know if we watched the success of the young coaches. Right now mcdaniels is is undefeated so I don't know might wanna go that route I think it depends on your city what you need to do you need to sell tickets do you need. A different type that you have a long time coach Baird you wanna go with the new young upstart. But you know. Nobody heard all the before he became a coach to the Packers from the standpoint of head coach they would it would Jon Gruden so. I -- think it depends on the situation that that the cities and what happened there in the past five. Seven years and then going forward make the decisions that. That is best for you right now I've never seen you mentioned you ticked off all the main that it even include -- in the conversation because liked it. The impression that he's retired -- kudos you know who retired yesterday does that mean tomorrow so. I think that that there's quite a listed as there's there's an ops third. Dominated -- waiting in the wings there in the -- ownership they're gonna have their pick if they wanna go that route."

" In the money's nice though I understand all that but who wants to work for Dan Snyder Jerry Jones or Al Davis. Understands and NFL job but he threw one of those guys with Torres may have made to be calling -- and can make the point again. Don't you take ownership in -- consideration do you want the meddling owner he wanted the the arm's length owner."

" Oh absolutely -- then look at poor Marty Schottenheimer -- you know he made a statement that he would never work for. For Dan -- prior to and then he went to work form -- game got tired of it after one year because. Marty was in charge and did -- the way he wanted to do and kind of was standing on the sideline the didn't like it so. You gotta take that into consideration you know how much control he get there's another situations. So all the factors had to play into it you know obviously needed that the Knicks got the big name guys we talked about they could pick -- I mean there's no urgency for any of the comeback. Because if they don't come back this year they certainly can come back and won eleven."

" I -- blowback not Tony Romo. The other big money contract and the unsigned I had eastern Illinois but he didn't get drafted. And then ever followed with a -- I profiled romance I would just Sampson. It seemed like everything it was Hollywood always and a celebrity and now not -- people actually say boy oh boy may be admit they're stuck with this guy from a talent evaluation is he gonna be a guy who can lead the team somewhere. Or she really the guy who should have been it's maybe not undrafted what he's just a guy after all."

" Well you know I I Ali and let you know you're always. You're always follow your your course of your career handles. What other people do that -- that make this statement to refer back to bud grant you know bud grant was always under the impression that."

" If you watched a dozen plays on tape and he saw you do it two or three times and he believed he could do it. And we seem Tony Romo do it we we've seen him."

" Put up big numbers. I think right now that that that -- settle outside of the wide receiver positions. They certainly argued the impact from Roy Williams that they had hoped."

" To me they've got to keep those running back healthy they've got three excellent running backs."

" And then got to use Witten. More consistently from game to game."

" evaluating that point yet he's done it before there's no reason why can't. Can't continue to do it I think he just may be yet to be managed a little bit better. Looked up grid on his shoulders."

" You know let let let integrate him in the offense rather than have been beating up --"

" It's it's a great point -- you know I think that was much is considered safe Terrell Owens is a former cancer and he's he's he's already. Cause problems and in Buffalo that is a that's a good friend to have for a quarterback you know when a guy when he got a guy -- complex -- In traffic in and be open what he's not open. Hey I can makes maybe makes you look like a better player and that you know the other element of that Troy Aikman they haven't won a playoff game since he retired. You've you've had all these guys Rolen and trying to replace him that's not an easy place to play and it's it's like. You know Cutler comes here from Denver where he's trying to replace John Elway. And it's you know what does he -- here is replaced Bachman and I want effort I don't think many are alive its own place all it's it's where you go -- end up before people appreciate."

" That question in you know Terrell Owens but if -- defensive coordinator and you're preparing and -- he's got to know where he has it's just like Brandon Marshall. You know all the ups and down the Brandon Marshall that. Well you know what."

" He actually made the play to win the game. But it -- individual talent and."

" You know we played against Brandon Marshall or what I think we went when -- Kansas City the last. Three years."

" And and you -- He's held directly and the ball with the Brandon Marshall can you knew that he's the big strong receivers they could do the things that you saw him make that spectacular play to help you win a game."

" I've -- so much we appreciate your body. But -- care about Americans as a person and I like the telephone call -- again well you know it's interesting that they want to -- the -- let's talk about this idea of the of could somebody make a run at Detroit. And -- let's pick a team and we'll tell you why Mully and Hanley and score."
