" Okay called me. Absolutely refuses to meet with man's face to face because of your sight of him as dangerous side effects including hash mark for who. -- Okay. Once played a game after breaking a leg losing a finger and biting his tongue lost in studio he won that game yeah. -- 52 points there. Didn't prom okay. Money in parenting on Sports Radio 670."

" Oh yes and native -- it can't leave Chicago Sports Radio except Ortiz is -- pop say against our weekly visit with their power play this. I don't know who occupied Burger King. -- with a big dollar because double cheeseburger. I'm not justify all the different argument Natalie prices participants -- this gives -- yeah it does this stuff from our board -- and views morning. What's this about it you know let's not bash and you start bashing the Bears -- the video I -- 'cause I."

" It's still out. What was -- take yesterday and -- now -- stuff back about Erica. Don't backpedaling somebody else just he he said it was even -- moment that made him think about cutting back the playbook in that department for the consideration he doesn't when that's the case."

" Well I think it makes sense you know a lot of times after a game it's as you guys almost somethings said that aren't always. Rationale or really yeah. Nate in I think probably turner was in that position on Sunday when it's at some of those things in. Upon further review he thought better evident in the the other thing too even if he was gonna cut back the playbook. He probably wouldn't want the Arizona Cardinals tonight that -- that's what I only had a wonderful way so. Yeah I I think it -- enemy."

" Since he's really one man band over there right with -- vehement defense of guy and call the plays on the defense -- ball even more self focused in on what they're doin'. Who who is Ron Turner go to an after game like that if he wants the kinda -- things off or sort some things out. And figure out how to right the ship particularly in the red zone."

" Why do think that Lovie is involved probably more than most of us suspect I think levee that really is an overseer with this team. And I do believe that he certainly sets philosophy. And I think he's you know what when something happens with the offense. Lobby them or it he I don't think anything -- Ron Turner does surprises lobby turner and Lovie Smith so what does he ever real I think Ron wants to do. I mean why would you say yes yes."

" You know you hear people you talked to people you hear good things about pep Hamilton that he's a bright guy that he knows what he's doing. That. That he isn't just you know some guys it's that they -- for her farm and and giggles when he actually does participate. Rob Boris is the the tight ends coach he has a pretty good background he's a guy that debt -- it has been a play. How many teams do but they don't have more than one. NFL play caller there I mean Ron is the only guy that's ever put together a game plan and actually go on -- gone through the rhythm of public have a game plan. I -- there's nobody else there that -- the NFL level is that unusual Dan when you look around the league and although the teams that you look at hitters that just kind of -- par for the cool."

" Worse I don't think it's unusual I think -- it's it's possible may be preferable to have more than one. But sometimes what you get is when you get a bunch of these old guys who have been around and done it. The get a lot of conflict and you get meetings that lasts forever and you get guys can't beat their heads against the wall -- and all around S article Seattle. You know some NFL staffs are famous for really being -- contentious and and you know in a way maybe say. Well that's good it's creative tensions -- no bounce my idea off field we fight about it. But another way you know sometimes it's good to say this is our direction we're going this way everybody get on board and."

" Already Mully and Hanley we've got to have -- Haywood does that Dan a lot of dishes. He's going around that the Bears I think this game. We'll go long way to work just figuring out exactly what you have been and where to rat."

" I think -- that you obviously had a very bad performance. At Cincinnati. Comeback to beat Cleveland what did you learn from that they think they were challenged by the forward pass and now here you have a team that comes in. A coming up that performance we might head Kurt Warner. He could be Jake DelHomme museum in new dimension current -- be more careful with the ball -- five picks last week."

" Yeah I think it's good to good test for the Bears because they're playing against a team that's kinda similar to them in terms of ability and where their at. The bowl form three teams and I think -- certainly the Cardinals have some some very big story strength but they're not quite sure where they're at. As a team they're not that they haven't really define themselves yet. One thing I think it's going to play to the bears' advantage. Is you can get to Kurt Warner and teams have gotten to a the offensive line is vulnerable with the Arizona Cardinals I think -- the pass rush could slash should come back in this team. In that could create more takeaways like we saw last week against Cleveland. That's going to be to -- the key to the game is is how many tend to get -- and his back how many times they. They pressured him and force him into decisions that he doesn't wanna make."

" What's -- defense of line to look like next year. If if in fact you're not. This -- the -- you -- you better start seeing some this week because I don't know how much of those were takeaways more than giveaways. Last week with an awful team that prost and you -- you really don't get much credit at all for beating the bronze what he did an and there are a lot of questions from a game but. Tommie Harris was limited practice against yesterday right and so we have one full full practice last week on Wednesday announced that that kind of sort of Tommy. But really where it is is Wally going to be your next year's Tommy going to be here next year. This cover two depends on pressure up front where's it gonna come from college this year but next year."

" Well it's good question you know I do believe -- that time he's going to be back you know I think this team is committed to him and believes that he can be a better player again now whether or not he can be what he once was. No one knows but I think they believe he can take it play out several matches. A goal is interesting you know I wouldn't close the door on him yet I know some people think well he's gone you know once they made the trade for Gaines Adams it's all over but. I don't think it's necessarily -- case I think it depends on. What happens with him once he hits the open market he is going to hit the open market I don't think there's any doubt about that. If some team steps up in makes a market setting deal with him and says this is our guy we need him and get them by about Wally -- If there is not that big rush to sign this guy. And there's a good chance the Bears could say you know we really could use him let's get him back but depends also on how the rest of the -- I think."

" Mark Anderson spotted last week he was that a guy in the pressure the quarterback and the peanut Tillman. Interception and he's another guy that's getting. Restricted free agency it's built in you know in the league the sensational. Rookie years just hasn't been able to recapture. No but I think I think he's played okay this year I agree with I think you know they moved him inside a little but he seems you know assuring. You know and I won't answer your question is for -- if Torre asked that already did I'd say I've gotta keep -- out Danieal Manning's another get those two guys. Our young guys on their defense they don't have a lot of young guys and -- defense that was our dilemma players though yeah I don't thinking Anderson's gonna cost nearly as much. But Manning and he he he might end up being. I just think they've I think they've done a terrible job and I think if you left that -- receive the locked him in there. And he wouldn't have to worry about what he was now what is it in and he's still developing as a player is a great half."

" While a good thing is the arrow is pointing up I think and Manning as well as Anderson still. And you've got nine games more to evaluate these guys sell. Let's see what happens the rest of the way with both of them Manning plays like he did Sunday. She gets there good player you know. But if he plays like he did for the previous six games you know you've got a guy who. You probably could replace it if you needed to but Anderson's best football Cameron Tommie Harris was up and running and and being Tommie Harris yeah that's that's always going to be K rise above anybody make that judgment on this guy when you have to do and got a one late Tommie Harris and not sure what you have there. If if -- negatives. Well I think you still can make a judgment and and what he does when he doesn't have that -- pressure -- certainly you'd say you know Alex Brown has played pretty good this year without Tommie Harris for the most part legally he has to. In Anderson really has to I think it's definitely without question been the strength of their Frontline spent has been those three and sell. You know if they can keep that going in making get that pass rush inside a little bit. They can be very effective in their in their front four."

" He's damn Pompeii the Chicago Tribune football meant -- Mully and Hanley on the score and the N com. Nathan Vasher played some some nickel safety. And I was talking to a guy it was a -- as some would give answers and did they throw the ball. That they can complete the attempted to throw the ball maybe once over the -- the field and that was the Danieal Manning interception. I liked the idea of basher as a ball hawk back there in in their cover two defense is on third down on. Your thoughts on that at at and had to have to get better and in that in that area."

" What -- can't loose because they were getting nothing yet received an article aren't so you know Vasher is a guy who. Will line up in the right spot then he's instinctive and he's got ball skills he can help you win on third down he can help you come up with takeaways in those are two of the big things. That the Bears have missed for the most part on defense this season. I liked the fact that it trying to find different way to use this guy. I also think it did bashers playing with a little bit more confidence -- little different. In how we looked certainly late last year and an early this year. So you know they might find they've got themselves a real player with him who knows I think you know it's early very early to say like you said he really wasn't tested. Sunday but he's gonna be tested against the Cardinals -- no doubt about it hasn't another guy ethnic decision on the end of the year it's almost and make the team I'll counts this year right. Other effect is getting paid well you know he was starter at beginning of the season I know I -- your answer they're talking about -- you -- when you have the nickname the interceptor. And it really hasn't happened for -- bit of up pressure for the live Upton. Yeah I think it -- needs to show. If he can be close to the players that he was when they signed to a contract without a doubt and maybe this new position -- it is an avenue for him to reestablish himself. Is a legitimate NFL player who can help the team -- Any hang in there and get back to allow more Bears and I'll talk it's -- in LA on the score."

" at least a guide to Sports Radio 60 god damn I'm it was us. And let's not let's not waste any time it was -- right to the heart of the issue was between humans and Bears. Activity okay typical I'm in the playoffs and maybe would -- there it is Super Bowl."

" You know I I am gonna pick the Bears in this -- I gotta tell you -- I don't feel real strongly about my pick I I kind of feel like this is one of those teams. It could come down to a play or two at the end and may be about football may be an official's call who knows but. I -- gonna pick them because they're home and because I think that they've got some momentum going. In applicants and I liked the matchups they have with their defensive line against the Cardinals offensive line and potential to keep to take away trend going."

" Refresh our memory what did you think don't in this season. In terms of wins and whether their playoff team versus now given the fact the Vikings are 71. He start motorized probably more likely I noticed two games of the Vikings. More more likely their battle for wildcard spot do you feel. Any differently about their chances given what's gone on here with the injuries and everything else in defense of questions and offensive questions and all that."

" Well you know I thought before the season that the Vikings -- classes they actually picked them to win Super Bowl it still believe there. Probably the best teams in the NFC those Saints have been outstanding. So I thought the Bears -- be wild card team all along and it still think they can do that obviously there's a lot that has yet to be defined that. I thought really you know the finger at nobody talks about that relief kind of dealt the blow with the injury to Brian Urlacher and mean Yankee fan. Yankee fans heard guys talking that. You know All-Star. Games -- house all with the teammates work in. Trying to get the guys coached up for the for the insider and celebrate the I believe it. He -- that injury did it hurt their defense because I thought he was their best play defense at the time he was an outstanding training camp and pre season. Which limit to do some big things this year was the leader of the team besides all that. So. I I do believe still vote with their team that can contending and can be in the playoffs if things go right away."

" Yeah its interest in game -- things have to go right I mean I I agree with about Minnesota I always thought they have to be the second dog. I get now out of the the Tennessee north I think we've seen. Some of the issues the green -- had just incorporating new defense the scheme not having the players that were drafted to the scheme and all that. Pass protection to tackle that has been. It's either I didn't anticipate I'll bet that was going to be on the anybody knew they were to have some of the injuries they've -- how bad that is wants them."

" But I didn't anticipates other one with the Vikings as I thought they were that the best of the division by those pretty close division I thought it was going to be a three you know scramble from start to finish you look at their team. There's nothing they don't do well well I mean -- complete team that question mark was one of the old man was going to be and it was going to be the gunslinger was a lot of way he's managing that offices -- say if he's healthy paycheck is eagle at the door yet he's healthy I've no question about -- music that would it balance. Internet big way in and I think he'd you know he could be the MVP of the league -- that's what I think about him."

" What about for Brees would be the leading candidate at this when a minute there -- just that team. As kind of you know -- not on our radar here in Chicago but that team has really taken a step forward again with the defense coordinator coming in. And and just kind of tightening up a couple things getting a safety down there. You know we we talked it was a Michael party same -- that team felt they lost three games last year just because of safety."

" You know they've been losing games because of defensive back play for I ask you for a year so that the right you know maybe if finally got it right. Yes certainly Drew Brees is is another front runner for the MVP award probably. -- going to break in Marino's record this year I would think and they could break the Patriots record for four points and season two so. That that team there obviously."

" And their schedules -- we knew from here out it's amazing to me the next few games that they played are going to be very easy and then you know you start ended up. The danger with that team is get him outside in team would be doing very well. They might -- the it's. Well you still wonder a little bit about the lightning in their defense which usually don't have those questions. Anywhere near to the same degree but -- Minnesota -- it's a great point he's a pop pay our buddy from the start attribute if -- so much for. For stopping by we appreciate it and we've got to -- program -- don't forget still talk the big Z. We'll talk to Gerry DiNardo we're going to breakdown some of the college that we also wanna get into some baseball -- media and the baseball season so we will. Put to -- freedom Belichick Sports Radio six."
