" Dare I forgot to ask is yesterday -- yeah -- Urged all parties see our our you know and willing to add the St. Louis Rams your list of the definitely bad they really -- and then make you laugh they do -- There ha ha ha ha ha if you're you do your emotional way -- last week does that not quite yet."

" Well you know I'm Stephen Jackson is is amongst the top five rushes in the NFL Holland and then Leonard Little who still rush the passer and I kind of like. I guess what it is is I'm I'm more impressed by Spagnuolo -- I am by Eric Mangini end Raheem Morris but. You're asking me about the future as of today there's not much arguing that the Rams may be worse than either the Browns -- the -- she's been of he has."

" Been waiting since Sundays no later went on that I had just been waiting -- let's go to the phones for hub we promise that he's your resume we will make good on that promise right now Tehran is on the score."

" Okay I had a quick question and I'll talk about the backup running losers -- you look anybody -- an -- in the next week or two. -- in you can email -- not Matt Forte. And if they're gonna try anymore burial pull our receivers that's what car each integrating Kevin -- should do because. Yeah Greg go through my early stretch and -- kilos you only end goal -- situation yeah."

" Well in answer to your first question I suspect it's not going to happen. Actually -- were good enough to check who came up with a couple interesting names last night Dominic Rhodes. Probably the one that would interest me the most but. If they were going to do it you do it right now you know he's got the bye week you get two practices this week and you take in the weekend -- you wanna if you're gonna bring somebody in. Take advantage of the time to get ready. If if they haven't done that they're not doing it it's not gonna happen they're obviously gonna go with what they've got. As far as -- Roma should do I think it's time the Bears fans accepted. That there was a reason he was cut by the Colts and there was a reason he was cut by the Redskins and I believe that's where the Bears found among their practice squad and and then he's just another guy you know he's got nice size you know he made some plays. In the pre season but no more than other fairway doesn't maiden pre seasons past before they've moved down. If they're not dressing him on Sunday they obviously don't feel he can make a difference and I don't think that that's in their immediate futures that there be -- there."

" Pitchers AB's he was talked up and we do we did see him make some plays down field in the pre season in the word was that Jay Cutler liked throwing to him. And all of a sudden here's Johnny -- we thought the out of necessity. But do you think the Bears may be kind of -- it is to learn something that they didn't know before either that -- is better than they thought -- should do was worse."

" Well clearly Jon -- has made more of an impact and they expected one thing they are not going to do at this point. Is they're not gonna sit Rashied Davis down they obviously feel these valuable enough on special teams that they're -- him every Sunday. You know clearly there are married to two to Devin Hester and and Earl Bennett -- started to make some plays and so I think where you end up after that. Is because of all the injuries have linebacker when you have that many injuries that one unit you probably dressing two linebackers we might not normally dress up. That's part of it. But then again beyond that if they really thought -- should do is the guy was gonna make some plays can they be just an amendment and there and know they're not put them out there herself. I think it's a combination of all around."

" Insurer would it's Mitch next with Hub Arkush on the score."

" Okay good to be would do their job. I was and I watched a game Monday like most everybody else apparently it and I would -- guy that frightens the hell out of me more than anybody is number 69 for the Vikings since then. I know that game -- seen all month there's always so we can we go to the -- maybe -- all the more I'm not sure exactly what it is not my question is. Can. -- Orlando handle him. I look look like anybody can't and that's not just. It's not. What is the plan -- keep him in check because -- hear -- doing really really bad things to Jay Cutler."

" Good golf here's an interesting thing to keep in mind. The Jared Allen that we saw Monday night nobody in the league can handle money this -- a defensive MVP candidate he's been all pro the last couple years this is not a revelation. He's one of the best pass rushing ends in the league now he wasn't on the left side. For a couple years in Kansas City and part of the year last year Minnesota than they started moving them around. I think they will still move small little bit -- is now predominately the right -- and so yes you're gonna see him against Orlando Pace. Ironically. Because he is much bigger any ranger. This is a little better match up for Orlando Pace if if page can get his hands on him he's strong enough that he's gonna fair much better than an alum barber your some of those guys you've seen now that I was here credited him yet last year and -- worded it that. That's sad that we just we haven't seen enough to know how much Orlando Pace -- got left."

" Seattle we don't yeah who I mean were away maybe -- Bears on as the wind buddy I -- the end of November the game maybe -- hope they'll -- right -- I don't know how much time it -- but maybe by then all the -- will be a happy happy time that date -- they they can get it done -- Run block they can protect Jay Cutler. And then again maybe now."

" The Orlando Pace of 34 or five years ago would have been one of two or three guys in the league who had a chance of winning a match up against Jared Allen. He's not that player today and as we get closer to the -- match up and find out how much is left. That's gonna tell you what he can do now the other piece of it is yet they're gonna have to now give some help us a chip on with a tight end or running back they will do all those things but. Your initial premise is -- be scared of Jared Allen because he is one of the scariest personally can Greg Olson even -- I'm sure he can you know that is something you know they don't wanna do that with condemned because that takes away his greatest asset which is having him in the slot. We're getting a good matchup we can uses speed on the field as soon you start chipping within. All that's left as a tight end screen and so they try and avoid that what they're more likely to do. Is is run more two wide to tight end sets with one running back with the other. Tight end being the designated -- if you will and that way you know Olson gives you a nice matchup along with a two White House that you got left."

" To go -- what he's that he woke up feeling chipper thing. And his sorry or Ryan has said."

" You still. Cloture talking about -- for about a woman shouldn't look really good he can always be open on those exhibition but he seemed to be a good target. The dog you feel that. Ron Turner and ultimately love each these kind of forced. There is one person telling the other -- ruin each. Should be more wide open can't be or more -- open and rushed to kind of such sort of pull back into the tree receivers in the before receivers out there."

" Let me ask you questions stay with -- for a minute do you mentally tell us. Yeah -- do remember -- the ball BL the ball I think his name was all the kids from New Hampshire in -- Delaware summer like that yeah. Those kids look really good in the pre season to -- Yeah yeah yeah well and here's why I'm gonna cause this is not a criticism of -- this is get -- question they never got a chance either. And so the fact that -- should do mayor -- out of look good in the pre season. -- you do -- it has little to do with what they're gonna do now now I I was actually not as impressed with the Roma should do is a lot of folks were. So. No I don't think that there is conspiracy theory here -- that in the do with the Iowa -- wide open offense to publish you know in good -- convincing him he's so far the question was -- music. They were still running team. The end all of that still a -- they wanna still be running team you know and so. But now I just think it really is a simple. As Roma should do hasn't shown enough exciting things that have to force his way onto the field and they do you have. This 45 or 46 guy issue on Sunday because they've been so banged up at linebacker they're they're likely not to -- a lineup."

" And which is -- Rashied Davis if you can just two years good confidence. The way he's lining up as a receiver and occasionally open. That's enough to justify news is his presence on the active roster because what he doesn't specialty until -- should do wants to get on the field ES to convince them that he can do as much or more on special teams is Rasheed has a better way of saying it. It and that's why we have -- as the expert. I just pushed buttons like this John is on the score without hi John."

" Good afternoon gentlemen. I don't question before you are. I think you're paying what you think the Bears are gonna do it now while -- go away or reliever not he's having agreed here wound up within a bright but let me down. I think giving this -- a long term contract a lot of money maybe you definitely want minor league even look at production at. Don't see that ending an open affairs OI got then you're you're not."

" Janet there is almost nothing I'm sure of when it comes to the Bears you know talent acquisition and and and the way they treat free agency veterans though but I. This close to sure as I've been that they will offer to pay for a while his plane ticket home. I don't think there's much he can do to have the Bears pony up the kind of money he's going to be looking for after what we talk about well it depends on the year -- If he plays the way he did. The last you know three years it's kind of like Phillip Daniels leaving town when he did you know maybe. Somebody else gives them. Two or three years at two or three million a year maybe they give -- a couple million assigns a major talking about. Ten million over three years. I don't think the Bears are going to be willing to -- that I. I think they feel they didn't get what they they paid for last time around. And he's gonna be what 32 years old I would -- at some point they wanna get Mark Anderson on the field -- developing markets in. Harris and they don't know what is he had done his best position -- And you look at the money they've got tied up and lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher and Tommie Harris I don't know how they paid you know even even a smaller -- on."

" Short years maybe you just answered it maybe they -- after this year they'll stop kidding themselves about Tommie Harris and maybe find a way out from under them money over love that could be but I think it's separate conversation I don't really see. Too many scenarios or really any scenario under which advantages of their next year I mean there's -- I mean good who have side and I think what they're hoping. Is that he will get my Pro Bowl type here and in the let somebody else overpay form -- for the wildcard here though guys I should point out. We have to assume that as of march 1 or how salary cap. Right and right so all these conversations that we have and about next year you you've always got to prefaced that with without a salary cap becomes a different story. By the way the news and Michael Crabtree. Reports or six years 32 million. With seventeen of that guaranteed where your pro football weekly sources telling you about how on why that whole thing went down."

" Well I think both sides needed to get a deal done but our best guess is that that's guaranteed is probably closer to fifteen which would be a million less guaranteed and they were offering them a month ago I think they were happy the original -- with the deal a month ago. Was about 2425. Million with sixteen million guaranteed now we think what they did. Was they gave him a bigger number to save face but they're fools that they didn't save something on the guaranteed money because he's now lost. Basically his rookie season but certainly the first half of the season -- I those numbers are close but I I would guess that the guaranteed a little less than that seventeen."

" Carlos and San Diego never stranger to how Wednesday's with us and five of the score on a Carlos."

" Hello gentlemen hobble I'm concerned and I don't know what to do."

" Last week we talked about Alfonso Boone and -- possible impact and a charger Lions and well you saw what Pittsburgh did -- And yeah yeah -- said that the Chargers defense even if it was that bad and ponder -- I think they're pretty darn bad seeds. I feel but I didn't and the offense and I -- the --"

" If any did they have the tools but this defense delighted to have the awful."

" You know and -- you just nailed it and and the problem as you can bring Alfonso -- if you want to but nobody was pretending that he was gonna make up for a banged up Jamal Williams and I'm Jamal Williams. He is is is one of those. Two best nose tackles in football he's probably one of the five best defensive tackles in football. Him when he's injured an outdoor playing limited. That's a big problem for them you know you also heady world Stansky who was a disappointment last year and then left via free agency. To go to the Cowboys so it's it's a different defensive line is still trying to find itself all of that said you're right in the more people I talked to around the league. Many of us are starting to feel we we may have overrated the Chargers talent a little bit on the defensive side the offensive side is obviously firing and he's got off to a slow start against a motivated security himself. The good news is there in the AFC west the good news is in spite of last Sunday there's still going to be better than the Broncos and so the key is can they get Jamal Williams healthy and an. And if they do that then I think you'll see that defense starts."

" I think you -- says we have go to breaker analysts say they have to two games with the Broncos the next seven weeks or so I wanna say Al -- right the Sandra itself I will combat more balls you -- hobbies -- doing a great job -- is always 312640 or 6767. You've -- Chicago Sports Radio six -- new score. Instead it's. Rod Marinelli. Winning."

" Maybe you're right a little bit better. -- all three went to."

" You know these are pro football and there's extra tomorrow at this time will be right in the middle. -- and then we're looking forward to it this is Travis in Rockford with hub on the score."

" They got paid for taking my call. 1415. Who -- bother me during the games are they don't the last couple years it's a bad challenges that come. At least seem to constantly be you know either we can't Alou shouldn't or we don't when we should hate -- If there are we on that same line as most teams hurt or the Jets may."

" Chester Taylor and may have -- for a second forgive me -- got to fix something that is broken hope Carlos and San Diego still listening I was talking about Jamal Williams and I knew those -- some runners in the Senate Jamal Williams has done for the year. And and sometimes I get them back you can't get him back and so that is that is a significant problem for San Diego I just wanna get that -- for everybody. You know I I'm not sure I agree with you about the Bears used to challenges. I think what he's the 1 morning womanly thing you know -- is that the challenge in the Seahawks game."

" I think the official screwed it up but I think what we have to make the challenge and and and you know he had to make it because get a chance of exactly what happened mean you know. When exactly what happened happening in -- could argue that it won the game form you know look at the Lions game on."

" it's it's it's not an exact science every once why you're gonna say why do that I guess he missed one Sunday but I think better than league average yeah. I don't hate the I think what he has his fairly good also don't have to win."

" Challenges all the time because really it's just weighed against the cost of a timeout. And very often it's it's a first half timeout. They figured the very worst you're gonna have a three minute break we can do everything you are doing a timeout anyway and have these officials don't know what they're seeing whether they seem real time whether they see the replay it was such a level of inherent randomness guilty and stuff gets overturned do you think would never be overturned."

" Tonight and I love I don't know what you guys think of the new Monday night crew but no just having Mike McCarthy all over the bad for the great challenge. That turned the fumble on the one into a safety and then he knew he was like. You know he was gonna get a safety US open get the fumble which and so he can punt the football stuff guy is still work to his advantage that it was a safety but. I'll guarantee he didn't throw that flag thinking okay if I get a safety and so the fumble on going to be okay so. Again it you're right you don't always have to win that -- to be an exact science. I think while he is is better than most and then probably not the best but I think he does okay when it."

" Down staters on the score with -- mellowed down skater."

" Say good afternoon gentlemen it's always a pleasure. Hey tub JaMarcus Russell former number one draft they're -- I think I know he's been out bad situation. Side because he's clearly he looks overweight. And out of words cities. Then applying for missing means and team activities. I -- and it's probably too early to label them Abbas but it feel viable NFL quarterback come hang out listen to idiots saying kill you."

" Yeah -- let's get to the correct starting point one of the main reasons the situation is so bad is because JaMarcus Russell was there. So he gets no brownie points for the fact that OK place to work on. You go back and read our scouting reports prior to the -- BO seven and I guess. And we had red flags all over this kid for exactly the problems he has exhibited. Bad work ethic tendency to put on weight. When I was not prepared for I think -- reported this a couple times but I guy that was on the sidelines for their game in Oakland in December last year at the end of the second season. I've never seen a quarterback with his kind of natural ability -- the second -- the NFL what's -- mechanics and and the body language is all wrong. Is -- a bust. When your when your 66 and then you should be to forty he happens to be 280. But when you win if you're 66 to forty with the kind of athletic ability he has it's way too early to com bust. But this one's not all local Quayle apparently -- ADO yeah he's he's a -- a three -- yeah he's a big guy he is a big big guy. And again and if he's not willing to get in shape if he's not -- just willing to study the playbook and you're not going to put -- you have to work. He is going to be a bust but but I really for all the things you can throw stones at the Oakland raiders' four to me. This one the kid is is probably more guilty -- the organization us. No they've chosen though --"

" Point Florida."

" Whatnot again that's why start we couldn't believe they did a good point he took -- they gave this -- 32 dollar 32 million guaranteed dollars no shame on them."

" But but as far as it a lot of food yeah."

" Wendell headed to the big trade of bottle of I did get a little unclear Dotel and you know."

" you talked to anybody close to that organization and they will tell you that the that there is no. Fire in his eyes there's there's no real concern there there's there's a young man with -- 32 million bucks whose attitude is enough I get better at this that'll be nice you know until."

" How -- indeed net go to the NBA. Back off. Margin to -- Chicago's own score remark."

" yeah. -- I -- sort of bad few -- the Bears so resolute in keeping Caleb Haney. As the backup band that bringing in a better in backup Jay Cutler could not be played at five turnstiles and part of them are gonna get -- killed. I know depth at running back at least veteran depth terrible. Does that he had unit Kevin Jones. You know I want you to Jerry I'm not watching Caleb Haney but we're a little of the board prevent ever."

" Yeah I'm done whether that happens I'm. I'm just go out along the US and he's -- ain't gonna be watching the Bears know the answer is they're doing it because they can't. And then whether they're deluding themselves or not remains to be seen that. -- let's not forget that Peyton Manning played. I wanna say it was 54 straight games with Jim Sorgi Bynum would never taken a snap. And somehow after three years of watching we decided Sorgi was a more acceptable back up in the first yourself got a wasted Neifi yeah -- I don't agree with -- guys I think it's think it's nuts but. One of the reasons they're doing with -- Because one of the things they like about him is his ability to extend a player's ability to move in the pocket looked downfield it's one of the things that they like but on the reminds -- of Cutler. Treat this -- a top ten to have to offer a lower on that."

" Touted quarterbacks -- before let him go -- we are puzzled earlier today by -- has ended. You know you've been covering quarterbacks go all the way back to the single wing and and I believe the no wings no offense to go so far back. I'm not aware I think the most kids that are playing quarterback at any level kind of get the idea -- Still what the most important thing do you want that big payday is win the -- you know your stats can be this your stats can be that. But the most important thing you can do as a quarterback is win games not not know exactly to the exit decimal point. What's your quarterback rating is if you did enough yards to satisfy you regal or whatever. I mean it ended the charge against Jay Cutler Ned really another way which to base tonight is that it can he continue to live with a 140 yards past. Amid all this other stuff I mean."

" If I'm this guy I've never read another paper in the stone. Why not and why would Jay Cutler have a problem with what's happened so far I don't know GE owns the city. -- quarterback rating which I don't think anybody cares about is going up every week. Efficiencies of good thing in terms of generating those numbers but this kid is certainly smart enough to know that at the end of the day in this town. He's going to be measured by playoff wins -- getting to Super Bowl since then and the rest of the dissolve the you know small community doesn't really matter so I actually I didn't see the article your freedom to and I'm not sure. But. You know if ever there was a town that understood that Chicago they they they got the guy they want. Now they want Super Bowls I don't think anybody hear if they win playoff games and get the Super Bowls is gonna call this showed complained because his quarterback rating has blown ninety. Which isn't going to be for much longer by the way that."

" Lastly and very very briefly Braylon Edwards and he loved the rumor that LeBron James had been sent out of town. And now the fact video also fired up and and hope that Edwards is in New York it means James's staying with the cavs are not turning the --"

" I thought I think the only thing that matters about that story I've not been able to track down the exact compensation yet. That's a great trade for the Jets and I'm not saying it's a bad trade for the Browns clearly the kid wasn't wasn't put now do you he wasn't performing. He was acting goofy off the field but this is a young man who in his second year in the league went to the pro ball and put up incredible numbers don't wanna say he had sixteen or seventeen touchdowns. If there is a missing link on the New York Jets is that it's a receiver with that type of ability of Sanchez is the real deal he will get him the ball. Enters a coach in the NFL who I think is going to be able to handle Braylon Edwards is Rex Ryan -- not necessarily a bad move for the Browns to a great trade for the Jets."

" Find out is always a pleasure my -- we'll visit with the -- gone to a well you'll have a game. The Little League game Sunday -- Moneyline Tuesday Wednesday I would actually I don't and we carrion the than the Titans and then called -- I don't know I don't know -- into play here on the losing end so. Well okay if we I'll be on the sidelines there and short of that I know all that time I'm on the side and really be thinking about the forty get better I would -- Israel because it's I guess we are carrying yes that's part of me -- Amanda Cole is best remembered. Did he says the Titans will still finish with a better record than the Broncos. Boy and that you have tough that there yeah. I didn't like the -- found man I. I admire the spirit but I don't like command a final Benson who's a better team but I hate to spot somebody four games -- twelve left to play well that's that's why you know he's like guard Charlie Manuel. Thanks -- I guess both of."
