" LaMarcus has made the Atlanta Falcons his block of the weekend pro football weekly amusingly there -- a publisher pro football weekly would know that that kind of thing that it's a lightning rod -- move and -- a big boy I also tend to agree with him. So really what's decided not to spread on the game I don't either. What but. What would have been nice though the -- before it was a -- a lot of the -- third not to football irony that I desire you agree with I -- and I have nothing -- they had. Feelings about this game with -- hey all right I don't think it's going to be a blowout but I think it's a game. That is starts badly and I at no point doing everything the Bears are going to win. It's one of those were you just say oh well this is just an oil well that -- mean I'd be minute BO YED. Distance between the two teams on the scoreboard beat you just know we can you feel it's bad. And eighty cents. You know those games you just feel like you're seemed everywhere but -- the White Sox played Minnesota. That feeling all its not that bad I guess it will be you're ready hub."

" I'm ready and the Falcons are actually three and a half point favorites men and -- you know -- I mention this last night as I knew I wasn't and I promise I figured okay we'll get it out there on nine. And god knows I hope I'm wrong but even if you look at that number in and I am not expert on these things but apparently. You basically start with roughly three points for the home team so what this line is really saying is that the year assuming the Falcons are about a half a point better -- the Bears and half of what I saw in San Francisco this past Sunday and knowing my concerns about where the Bears are vulnerable on defense. I just don't have a good feeling about this one."

" him like seven. I day I think -- against that says. That spreads the woods an easy one I'll take the Bears did -- and happy to see season African. I don't know why don't delivered it is headed up with a bottle of this door."

" Global."

" Play all the question was this why oh why it appears able to."

" I spread the ball around as far as like does -- post -- like 2030 yard that is. It's you know little by ten yard dump off flat routes and also love I want to ask us. Leaving guys jay -- the differences between now that jury -- attempt -- birdie at 4000 American right now I don't pay per. 3000 something it is usually easy -- differences in. Slash."

" He answered those questions they do the same you know level last -- the difference -- easiest Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. And it fits the pass protection now wants a jay was sacked six times or twelve times went down last year. Is not he's getting sacked that off from the he's been pressured quite a bit more this year as far as spreading the ball around. Deep post patterns -- really is all the same. -- the reality is that at this stage of their development of the Bears don't have amongst their wide outs any great route runners. And I think Earl Bennett it is probably pretty good route runner Devin Hester is not I'm sorry I you know he's got some great abilities -- route running is not one of them. Johnny Mac's -- a rookie out of Abilene Christian and and that's pretty at those who should the pretty much at those three are -- talking about. Yeah and so it's it's hard to spread the ball around and then when you get -- into the deep post of the skinny post you want. Those require not only great route runners but but some speed you know and the Bears have got the speed there's no question about that. But those things only opened up when you run that route perfectly you can single up from coverage. And you can beat that coverage and it's just not something at this point that the Bears receivers are showing us that they can do on a consistent basis. The next in Franklin park it's come on the score with hub."

" Yet to question -- borders. All fighters here what is making a Bronco defense played so well after years of being poor -- any others -- What you'll have a -- triple Tudor road to Atlanta."

" He had -- well it is the second part yes that's because the schedule done like 89 years in advance and it's based on and where you finished. -- hand what division you're matching up against and then last year. I believe the Bears played everybody in the south this year they're only playing the second place team from the south which happen to be the Falcons so that's just. Form any -- can happen anywhere as far as the Broncos defense. I guess the easy answer is that they're playing a completely different defense you know we we talked all during the pre season about one of the worries for the Packers. His their shifting from a 43 to a 34 and they may not have the personnel to do it. While the Broncos did the same thing in large part because they had better personnel to play the 34 -- the 43 you've had Elvis Dumervil trying to play defensive end with a hand on the ground at 510 to thirty. He just couldn't do it but now you let him stand up and come from different places and he's one of the scariest pass rushers in the league. They move DJ Williams back inside because they've got Dumervil outside he's better suited to play there. And just up and down -- the goal line and all three units they've got guys who are taking to this defense they've also got. Mike Nolan coaching -- who is one of the better 34 coaches in the league now the last piece and I hesitate to go here I am just saying it's a possibility is not necessarily in my opinion. But may -- Mike Shanahan was part of the problem you know you talk about coaches stay in the same place for for thirteen 1415 years. Mike Shanahan was always an offensive genius in the offense was still doing very well but. You know when the Broncos went back to back Super Bowls and then in the early part of this century their plan better defense and they haven't the last few years. And so you have to assume that may be some who wish him halfway said yesterday about how good a coach Mike Dolan is that we finally saw why. We know what happened as a head coach but what you're seeing is -- that you're -- seeing this is why the guy got a job at San Francisco is the guy who built the Ravens defense under Brian Billick says that you know there there well PS your Marvin Lewis they're too. -- Nolan then took over after Lewis and and then didn't skip a beat them and he is one of the more respected 340 coaches in the league and and the Broncos have really good personnel to play."

" Northwest side next Jim -- on the score."

" I do and speaking of defense. What you've seen so far up -- how we have the Bears missed. Brian Urlacher I got a feeling that comes Sunday Sunday is going to be in the game where they're really gonna miss membership before."

" That's a great point and you know I think so far they've just really missed more the perception of Brian Urlacher and actually missing him -- I think teams have not yet. Really adjusted to take advantage of the differences you know you gotta realize I don't know my it was only in the lineup for a week before he went down so now you're trying to make the move. From Urlacher -- Wellemeyer and then you know you really heard Nick Roach which he actually saw Lance -- he knows lining up -- outside ending up inside quite a bit I don't know how they're gonna do it this week it looks like piece of Tino is tomorrow is that he had a full practice today for the first time. And so you know when you book and the kid like -- whoever you wanna put in the middle of makes a lot easier I've."

" Already seen him miss -- there were passes to Seneca Wallace didn't execute where the deep middle was open Matthew Stafford missed three or four. It exactly the area where the middle linebacker in the Tampa two. Is is responsible for defending I mean it's their ability to -- there's -- points left on the field -- the second time in the show and use that phrase. But that's not doing that -- the deep middle has as being not as well comfort."

" There's no question about that because there's there probably isn't -- middle linebacker and only you can get back in the deep middle like -- what I can and any irony is it was probably for eight or nine years -- to. -- you wanna do it because that's what they had -- right he had to because he was so good at it and yet I think Hunter Hillenmeyer. In the one full game he played was okay and then after honor went down and it was out in Seattle he is where they really start to struggle and you know live. It was an a lot of the NFL you usually don't get deal does. Docked points for who you play you don't make the schedule yourself you don't get docked points because teams coming with -- injuries do you look back -- Seattle game now. And you look at what they do with Matt Hasselbeck at quarterback and other defense Camarillo with a simple glad -- wasn't mayor yeah. You know and so you've been very fortunate that regard but as far as the initial question where where is Urlacher missed. He is Brian has not been the player that he was. The last two years he has started to slip a little bit but even slipping a little bit. Certainly given the deep middle and in the cover two and also the guy who can range sideline to sideline and you start the C. 67 yard runs off tackle bouncing outside their staff -- the Weiner plugged up there because Brian Urlacher covers so much territory so I think you're gonna see him mr. Moore as the year goes on but that's why didn't Tino he's -- bathroom is a big difference he will minimize the damage in the in the run game. More than they're going to be able to minimize the damage in pass coverage insurer would it's Mitch and the score."

" Okay good deal with the my question is who called literature regarding -- formal we've had received Iran go -- play and who. -- down -- such a huge role on special teams that's where he made and you've been warm days who's got forty issues in that regard thanks."

" We know as he actually did I believe I saw the report he did have limited participation in practice today note did not per his he was Anthony Adams Hunter Hillenmeyer Izzy and writer it was more -- did not Tommie Harris limited -- some awful."

" Thank you -- did read that incorrectly you know listened and I he's been gone pretty much since the first weekend and so. The disappointment to me is I thought mentally and or it was may be their best offensive tackle on the pre season. And I haven't followed this from week to week I'm studying event we didn't dress the first couple weeks with -- is the guy. Then I'd like to see get a shot I think you'll get in their mobile disruptive and make plays. I just don't think Jarron Gilbert ready for me he can be as great an athlete as you want but jumping out of the pool Sunday as an -- many good you know he's. Make plays on the football field and then I just don't think the kids ready to do that. It it just looks for all the world like such a bad match up well maybe that's why -- I have just a glimmer of this just something the back of my headset it's not quite as bad as you think even though I would -- both -- you think they did lead and obviously both do is. Isn't better than the -- I'm not gonna argue that but there's something about it. -- tells tells me the match up is as bad as you think that as I mentioned yesterday here's -- it's not like it's hopeless I mean he than the Falcons. Are young and inexperienced and not that good on defense and particularly in pass defense and I won't tell you right now. Yes Matt Ryan is is exciting this can be used impressively 820 star quarterback and we've ever seen. But I'll still take Jay Cutler over Matt Ryan and now -- coverage problems not gonna have Roddy White Michael Jenkins and Tony Gonzalez. But I wouldn't be shocked to see the Bears go out their son and he got the emotion you got to pay Becky got Sunday night primetime. And and feel Cutler can go lights out there and we've seen Johnny -- can make plays we know the Devin Hester can make plays. They're just not can do it consistently so I think what could happen Sunday which could be very entertaining is if it turns into a shootout then I think the Bears have been shaft."

" Tim in Arlington Heights and a hug your on the score."

" I doubt I thanked him yeah you bet -- question -- great column this. I the Patriots and inevitable concerned -- Brady -- probably not fair to compare perform -- that you have your knee injury -- black people you can't let them play. He doesn't seem quite right yet but he can't let it why that is -- at any point that people look -- offense gonna like get back up that we could drop 35 on him."

" Absolutely Tim I think it could happen any weekend and I I have some insight I've gotten a from the number of scouts and -- we've been talking to this week but it's not. Brilliant insight you don't just come right back -- the fact is the knee may be a 100% healthy. But you miss a full season at that stage of your career you changeup a couple the receivers the offensive line doesn't block quite as well. And the timing just isn't there yes the Broncos shocked us all on Sunday. But if Tom Brady doesn't hit Wes Welker in the ankle I met I met. That's seam pattern he's running he goes right to the end zone and never get and I I've never seen Tom Brady miss a pass that badly. And and and if it's as -- just it's beyond it's no that was more benches that was a couple feet but. Get -- timing gets off a little bit it's it's it's missing a few throws here and there which he'll Brady's greatest asset is. The accuracy and it just hasn't been there yet its rhythm it's timing gets comment and I still think by. Actually I've got a game on doing the Sunday nighter I think it's November 15 between the Patriots and the Colts and the final Belichick and normal little bit. That's probably the -- on the schedule from day one they're hoping to build to that you know obviously would have loved to gone undefeated they knew they wouldn't. But I really think by about mid November I would expect the Patriots released on offense with Brady to be back we expect from the big tomorrow --"

" I'm will be doing holy -- but right now we are talking to hug then we will do more of that in a moment Boers and Bernstein one to six Monday through Friday on the score it for -- Without good reason. 31 and we got Chicago Sports Radio six study in the score a welcome to enforce a Versa we are visiting -- as far as NFL head Bears expert Hub -- he's at the head of the state we've got the whole stable. Let all these great football minds published author he's he's out there in front he's leading. He's leading him off before we went back to the calls your thoughts on their report to David Rush Limbaugh will be kicked out event ownership group that is trying to by the Rams and maybe move in LA."

" You know if they're serious about getting the team it's probably smart -- because I think you've seen enough backlash. Already indicated that their bid would fail in this limbo as part of it. I guess I struggle with this be because you know you won't find anybody further little left the mania and there's there's few people quite frankly that I detest what. -- Rush Limbaugh. But this is supposed to be America. I mean I agree that this is this is capitalism and if he wants to try and by the football team. I don't think you say you worn out letting you know our exclusive club because we don't like Q when you don't we don't share your politics you know."

" I couldn't agree more I'm with Rashied Davis said the minimum money doesn't know color."

" Yeah for -- that it's a great way to put it in -- and it and and what we're really bothers me is that the appropriate way to handle this is if you let the process take its course you keep your vote private if you wanna vote against me vote against them. But junior say who I think is one of the great characters in the NFL usually really enjoyed. Friend come out on the front end and -- telling you right now I won't won't form because I don't like you know as his -- that's just that's not right."

" Mark in Buffalo Grove you're on the score with hub."

" Again it's very top of my question is no doubt that the Vikings are coming out strong they look like a well balanced team what's your opinion on the fact that we've got them. On the schedule Lleyton he's been given the fact that. They'll get all the anger pepper and stuff out of and oh we might have a shot at seeing you know junior Brett Favre or at least a week and Brett Favre."

" Well yeah and obviously nobody wants to see anybody get hurt but but quite frankly I was thinking as you were asking the question the only real impact I could see. Is that at the age of forty playing quarterback in the NFL every week that goes by even if you don't suffer serious injury rather than beating the bruises in the -- pile up. The end and so the advantage would be if you look at what happened last through the Favre made. Already have peaked in the heading in the wrong direction other than that you know usually no advantage I mean you're gonna know where you're at in terms of -- Needing to qualify for the playoffs or whether you're still alive but though no one pluses that you know most likely Favre won't be as fresh as he is now."

" That what your hobby if that if -- because we're talking about -- end of November right. Believe -- the ball from December's one at the end of November -- both -- yeah a full -- I mean I think -- question you have to wonder I don't know if anybody could possibly answer will the game even matter at that point or will everything be over -- like. -- Bears can't catch him and an -- or. Will that game really means something I don't I don't know how you policy could figure out one or the other you know it's I do think it'll mean something the first anyone's actually at Minnesota on November 20 ninth and then they come in here. The second last week of the season on December 28 so I think getting them out doors on December 20 could be an advantage now by then. I expect the Vikings will clinched a playoff spot and I expect that the Bears will still be fighting for one. But. You know certainly that November 20 ninth game is a huge game and I guess if you know -- into the two days you'd rather have the Vikings outdoors December 28 and and haven't the end of November."

" And he's in his car and on the score it's ND."

" Hey -- what's going on. I just -- election is now with the deadline trade deadline approaching. We're going to be in the best interest for the Bears to be inquired about peel from Buffalo. I don't this year Cutler -- connection especially in the red --"

" It doesn't work out his contract up but the ending a year I just being more reward than risk can make that type of --"

" Planned either the risk is that TO has managed to trash every locker room he's ever been any he's been disruptive influence and any clearly at this point is. Not the player that he was a couple years ago when he was doing that Philadelphia and Dallas and San Francisco -- The trade deadline is Tuesday it we're hearing rumblings that the Bears are talking to people there's no question about we we've got a few. Interesting things it was starting here. But I got a hunch that if the Bears do something it's more likely to be on defense than it is on offense then I had no problem with that because we know why. Why am I saying the Atlanta Falcons have such a big edge because the Bears and their problems in the secondary and -- or hearing what. And I don't any specifics I just -- visited there they're reaching out to teams in their inquiring about possible depth on the defensive line. We're always inquiring about the secondary I don't have a specific trade I can get --"

" Tells me Tommie Harris is hurt in the all Izturis familiarity I -- direction to I think that's I think that's -- you ought to be looking flip it doesn't tell me that Tommie Harris -- her sources -- Tommie -- isn't producing does so I mean yeah I think he's done. I know I hate to say that but I I think it's partly you know he's even mediocre defensive tackle right now may be done isn't right but. They're not gonna continue to pay and the way their family you know that they've they've already got the pain that know the bonus that they gave me they've got. -- many can be a salary cap next you worry about self. Even though the big chunk of cash was in the signing bonus they're not gonna -- Harris last year is that contract it you know eight the seventy million a year if they don't have to so. I think that what they're doing and again what we're hearing rumblings there inquiring and a lot of direction don't forget they don't have a first round pick to deal without the first do you wanna give up -- two. You know little little limited what they can do -- of I think there's probably. A couple of defensive backs and a couple defensive linemen up to the my interest. And by the way texture of the Comcast feed back so and so -- Brett Favre has had serious statistical drop -- after the eleventh week. In each of the last four years it happens again this year the Bears should be eight. I think November 20 ninth is that -- a week twelve but yet -- He's correct no -- that she's not totally correct he didn't have a big draft plus two years enough last year he did that then we just found out last week or two that that's also when he tore the biceps -- attendance so you know it's understandable why he did. Mike on the road on the score Mike."

" Tom Gordon question that I didn't -- is -- with the chance to them coming up to new England and making a game."

" Well and by the way just did the math at first viking game this week eleven so -- pick up -- You know I actually was on the sideline -- come Sunday night and that was a team. On the body language was just all wrong. By a two minutes into the second half after that controversial interception in wanna be there. I don't think that Jeff Fisher will go to Vince Young for another week and when they do I think that's going to be a disaster. I think they're probably done you know I think Jeff Fisher's L football coaches and you know I think he'll do what he can just get them to show but he had -- remember. Patriots there have little angst of their own -- left that game get away in Denver so to me that would be -- to -- I know I've said the Falcons in my life -- I would be more shocked to see the Titans beat the Patriots and I would be to see the Bears beat the felt."

" Would you can't have a -- a shock earlier. Seriously can you do -- fifty periods Urlacher is not. I'm above the top -- and 100 yards this year we're only wanted to try to identify their match. You rate below it that the big quickly Allen -- as throws -- that -- for you saw some of the stuff but it but just in general for the Titans not only on the field. But puts it I don't it was attended -- but the whole Steve and Debbie was just would I think unravel it was just ugly. You know let me talk about a bad you're all the way around for people down there that that's just the way that thing when he allows you to come pieces on that and thought it."

" It's an interesting dynamic because I really don't think it has much to do with the no I'm like I'm only gone up yeah yeah but -- but there's no question that she has just been horribly ugly story because this guy. Was just short of canonization -- you know in and and clearly wanted to say we obviously none of say it was a much of a father -- wasn't much of a husband and thereby wasn't the best father he could be and and so. It's her a lot of people there's no question about it and not to mention that the family of the young lady involved who. The other point fingers and you'll never know the whole story but yes twos and it was a devastating strike talk to people about it this weekend and and they they're they're they're very much in morning know they love the -- a lot of people are just very disappointed about what they did not Belichick just the military is that MMI. Did you know because Africa I think that I look into but as soon as it happened you start inquiring apparently. Everybody wanted to know knew this guy was not exactly trying to hide the fact that he was quite the ladies' man and out about. Oh okay he was much seen much observed dumb can you name it he was very it was just icky in LA again nobody deserves but I made it just -- For the tell you tell your they're your football team goes from what what different unless -- Kevin Millwood Owens' fine got a -- you lose a guy was a legend with your team to an end the whole story just couldn't be it here just awful. And I needed just you know and again -- and I and I know windows saying Julio you're saying it's been a long year for people who love the Titans something what really struck me is and I I. I haven't spent many many years since I can say no fish and when he was planned here you know little bit. Haven't talked -- recently didn't get to really -- any -- this week ended but did talk to him briefly for a minute or two coming off the field and just observing them not only you do in the game to prior to the game. You can just tell that that that nobody is hard is completely in that right now that there's been so much bad stuff for example of that organization. And that team that this is pretty much just a lost season they got the -- to come -- can be ten and six women and five next year. And I think Jeff Fisher will be back as their coach but but this season for all the reasons you point out -- I think it's just a lost season will."

" What are the you can usually tell the guys are bringing a magazine with an. You better be wearing go to tuxedo pants or eating a burrito over the -- is early indications that the guys they got the -- eighteen I had reporters and see. On the other side and update we're gonna take a few more calls for the -- And the -- being brought to you by four seasons heating and air conditioning and this is Neil in Bloomington on the score with --"

" Ohio bodies want to give. You have a quick question -- on playing rookies you mentioned earlier I'm sure I'm Gilbert could there be ready. I just wondered just became Paramount your philosophy on playing rookies that panic get the feeling a year ago. Dusty Baker the NFL you're the coach you can never player achieved and only lean towards veterans. Be a couple years ago you're an extraordinary he got us in position to be in the playoffs or. For extra slowly potential Super Bowl so he's comment on that list I would love to hear this."

" NEI I was never anti Kyle."

" Objectively that he was a fourth round rookie draft pick out of Purdue would have been playing -- smart and -- veteran back -- Rex -- that -- pre season got them in position to go to this that was the it was a different year -- how -- I guess we can -- I think more than what was. I'm also the guy who told you guys for weeks ago and and and people turn their noses up the Johnny Knox was the best receiver on this like little problem rookies it's about and don't -- I didn't think Jerry Dover is not ready to play because he's a rookie I think he's not ready to play and and my philosophy is that we see you guys. Who has no moves but he's got athletic ability in other words I'm watching the -- there's no bull -- there's no swim move that was normal under there's none of the things you've got to teach these guys. That you learned you know someone at the college level he played today tier two BCS school. And and I don't think the coaching was great and he's a great athlete who needs to be taught the fine you know points of the game in order to be successful not. Do you wanna put him out there and then let him fail and if you think that's a great way to teach guys and go ahead but I just don't think he knows enough to go up against NFL offensive lineman dusty going to -- on the show that's there's lower the -- Dusty Baker -- really that bad that next week we'll be I think him over the television and it's something that I thought I clearly personally because I wanted him fired between. Games between seven NLCS and hustle. Honey you cannot insult me -- the company he posted the."

" You can get there will be man to be looking to examine the Nextel mullah Omar released. They didn't hub is -- clicking -- it is keyboard typing in his blocking a week with kids is don't -- I. -- I like the smell goods. Joe and crystal lake here on the score."

" Guys -- does he jumps. No question that I'll hang up spend less -- accurate -- Rush Limbaugh now he's yielding it -- he got booted. Well did they do this same thing in baseball where the guy from Gallup wanted to buy a constant in the green than anyone yeah yeah basically baseball that no and I could have and then ends."

" Clinton -- publicly you know judge I mean if you got NFL owners before they even submitted a bid coming out and saying I'll vote against him because of Huey who years. There was a lot of speculation that the owners might not approve Mark Cuban. But eventually you know either the Cubs took his bid in the end and the richest family had the best bit."

" If it's it's a completely different situation that they weren't there there wasn't -- like you say AB public decision and and it also is an outcry -- it was -- controversial he was usually scatter and it never really got orders were coming out against Mark Cuban heard or did you simply what was being written and n.'s speculative."

" On was that good the world but baseball would not necessarily welcome nobody for the world of baseball said anything it just it drive me nuts when people pile. Into the easiest target they can find any in this case the guy was he was such an easy target they all started piling on if we don't know they'll blame us for this. But it kind of got away from the basic principles -- what you're doing you know on the and they should have been allowed to submit their bed -- and let let it run its course and it just it didn't feel right to me."

" From my point is it it if players really wanted to understand. Every aspect of every owner's business and history. There I'm certain there are other people involved in NFL ownership groups similarly it would raise objections from."

" Various reasons you know I think it's a pretty safe bet and I know this is a bit of a generalization it is a pretty safe bet my mind. That's the majority of the NFL owners are more likely devote. Right leaning Republican and left leaning Democrat. And -- and then yet we know Jimerson is now one humorous as one of the great free spirits of all time and so he comes out and crucified this guy. And and what really troubles me is is they try to make it every kind of racial thing and and don't know that Rush Limbaugh is is is is is a big and I'm not and then by -- I said I'm saying I don't think I don't know the I. He's clearly got position that way -- way I was reading that and so I just think everything about it was wrong."

" Doug and Carol Stream you are our last caller for hub on the score today."

" I I'm just wondering I keep hearing that that Bears are doing Chris Williams looked favorable for being -- life -- I'm -- lot. And that's really true or that came to a misconception my guess you lateral movement. -- better on the last essentially end wondered if they're kind of looked up fall off but so why don't let."

" Well I I don't think they're doing him a favor red -- and I think if you talk to discuss -- right tackle is where he's better suited to play he's a bit of a short armed right tackle. Quereshi said that in the short armed tackle in on the left side you've got to be able to get your hands up get them underneath is that the more Agile pass rusher shoulder pads. And and you gotta have a better arm -- that's what they look for the longer arms on the left tackles on the right tackle side. You're more of a mall or you're more -- road grader you young -- those -- those hands as much self. I think -- better suited for beyond that. They haven't said that he's their full life you know they had a chance to get a Hall of Fame left tackle who I think we all expected to play a little better than he's played so far and all hope that he still well. But I believe the plan for Chris Williams may still very well be if he doesn't establish himself as a Pro Bowl right tackle. In a year or two and pace is gone and I think the plans to move back on the left side if in fact he's got a chance to be a good one. What's that."

" Always a question of his overall strength causing more of a finessed tackles and ready to play because he understood the game more than he was a big powerful guy -- He's gonna improve his overall strength and it doesn't that describe the more it. The more of that -- net Soriano --"

" Tackle yeah he's I was gonna say usually we talk about a finesse guy you're gonna find that more on the left side but he certainly has the size in the -- one of the things a lot of -- said. Did you get this kid in the weight room for a year or two and there's no reason that he can't be a dominant cap on either side could he certainly got the frame the handle it. One of the questions about him was his attitude knowing now with the a finessed the often that's athletic ability is fine. And that's mentally a guy has really wanna mix it up that you don't really want on either side yourself what would allow -- wanted to find out was when he got to the NFL how is he gonna just I was gonna work -- you get bigger and stronger and -- And that's stuff that we're all watching to try and find out right now."

" You know real quick before -- because they're talking about tackles here. What if Sam baker isn't as a Sam the one -- negative confuse whatever the because your dusty analogy is -- nobody is he a good player for the Falcons at their -- he's surprised people will mean a what kind of is he a guy can we all debated this from several all these tackles coming out is he a good NFL player. He well he I think he's going to be a very good NFL -- you know he was off to an excellent start last year. And I can't remember it was the bad curve was a concussion but he went down early for the season. CNN it was he was cut short now here's a guy no interest me enough. Who's playing on the left side who every scout I talked to thought was going to be a Pro Bowl right tackle because he's not. Quite as athletic he is a smaller he's a bruiser he's a guy wants to be -- push you around so the fact that they've got him on the left side is kind of interesting and and then you know he's a guy who Alex Brown not quite as big with a great first half he could have a pretty good day against the all right how we will Visalia next week and we'll see where you fall next week could get done with you I had. -- So every week and a half respond."

The other thing that they did they have continued to bring in malcontents and troublemakers but somehow they're managing them now.

They drafted in the first round they would it was a defensive end -- they try to make standup linebacker he had the neck injury and who lost a high first round pick there.
