Dave is awesome, always a great listen

[@RedHoodFH]

1 winning season in a decade. This is an organizational issue

[@mattcarberry368]

i definitely didn't understand until recent years how cheap the McCaskey's really are

[@SnakeyD8468]

I thot the Browns were bad...

[@seanragsdale5636]

And somehow slightly, VERY slightly better than the Jets

[@shoeless1137]

As a packers fan I feel bad for Williams Kids clearly got a ton of talent but it’s so obvious that he isn’t being grown in Chicago. Just things like basic game management the bears are inept at. A young QB can get by and get wins with just solid game management and talent while their greater skills develop

[@billkramer2994]

Like the "Edsels" in Detroit! It always starts w bad owners! Edsels won 3 world titles in 50s and played in a 4th. Then Wm. Clay Ford - the black sheep of iconic Ford family bought the Lions and fr 65 yrs made them "Edsels"!!!

[@JiuJitsuLife-xr8kb]

I can’t tell you why, but I really like Dave. I’m a packer fan but he is a Chicago guy through and through

[@JayEm6885]

Except that he's from Pennsylvania. That said, so was Coach Ditka, but he PLAYED for the Bears, & the old man.

​@@JayEm6885I mean Listen to that accent he's a Chicago guy

[@JayEm6885]

@militarygradepotato Brother, he doesn't sound ANYTHING like ANY type of Chicagoan. Absolutely NO ONE here has that kind of dialect. His accent is PROFOUNDLY Pittsburgh-area.

[@JiuJitsuLife-xr8kb]

@@JayEm6885 I get that, outside of Pennsylvania. He was the coach of the bears when my brother was growing up and he liked him and that Just sort of stuck with me. He’s now on Chicago sports radio and is always entertaining.

@JiuJitsuLife-xr8kb I get that 👍 Bear down, brother 🐻🏉

it's probably impossible to have a more Chicago accent than Dave Wannstedt

He is From PittsBurgh

​​@StevenAsadi 😂😂😂 people say anything! Giving everyone a vice to speak on EVERYTHING was the worse thing to ever happen in modern times .

You have ZERO familiarity with dialects, my friend. Dave is from Pennsylvania, & it's evident. Not a single Chicagoland native speaks like that.

Shotgun being over used, especially in college and when these QBs get to the NFL they are thrown in to start and never get acclimated to being under center.

[@rogwarrior1018]

I can't stand Cowherd. He's a tool but I love Wannstedt. He wasn't that great of a HC for the Bears but he is a class act so I had to listen to this man. He knows FB and it's apparent he still loves the Bears. Thank Dave say the truth we have a young team and we need stability. We need an Offensive Coach.

[@leodaman2024]

The importance of the run game never left. It will ALWAYS be valuable.

[@cabal3747]

"Packers vs. Vikings Preview" -- the whole thing devoted to what the Vikings should do about Darnold next year. The narrative is set. The national media doesn't really like talking about how the Vikings are doing now, so they found a loophole to deal with a current 13-2 team by talking about next year instead. Colin almost sounded disappointed that Wannstedt snuck in that he thinks the Vikings will win the division this year.

[@jeremims9044]

Because he's wrong. Vikings won't win it

[@cabal3747]

@@jeremims9044 They may not. They also might. You don't know that any more than he does. And that's also an irrelevant comment that's not just completely beside my point, it inadvertently proves it. You've been programmed by the narrative.

He led the Bears to only one postseason appearance in his 6 years at Chicago and compiled a 41-57 record. After Wannstedt posted back-to-back 4-12 seasons and a 1-11 overall record against long-time rival, the Green Bay Packers, Bears owner Michael McCaskey fired Wannstedt on December 28, 1998,

[@james_robnett]

So way better than an our average Coach. But yeah, not a great record.

[@pcontiman]

Great guest

[@travisoshea]

That is not why the NFL has gone to more 12P and 13P which is the new 21 personnel, and running the football more than they have over the past 5 years. It is because of defences using more hydros players to defend the RPO with more 4-2-5 or nickel packages as their base defence. Defences now have to account for the run pass option and have a safety who can nail down but then also come up and for the run vs a TE but then also have to cover that athletic TE. This has made for lighter boxes and smaller players and the athleticism of OT and OG can get these guys running more wide zone concepts and cut back against these following LBs

[@mattcarberry368]

@@JayEm6885 actually both are correct, just depends what country you live in USA - defense UK/Canada - defence

[@tnox219]

Dave's take was interesting. I've never heard anyone say you get the offensive head coach so that you don't have to cycle offensive coordinators. Maybe I'm just slow, but I never thought about it that way lol

[@donjon4335]

You probably don't watch much nfl TV because that point has been made many times over the years.

[@donjon4335]

It's not a bad take but good QBs don't need it. Look at Josh Allen and Lamar. The two MVP candidates too.

[@tnox219]

@@donjon4335 The guys like that don't just grow on trees though 🤷🏾‍♂️ Elite QBs with mediocre coaches win MVPs, elite QBs with elite coaches win Super bowls. Maybe that's why neither of those guys have a Super Bowl.. yet.

[@lmillz258]

Run game (“it helps the young QB”) the crucial point that noooo one talks about. CHI cannot run the ball ⛔️💀

[@jetcat132]

The run game, damn straight. I’ve been arguing with some idiot for two days because he claims “it’s all William’s fault because he’s inaccurate and holds the ball too long.” Run the ball to throw it for any QB, and especially to break in a young one.

[@lmillz258]

@ so tired of arguing with the Monday morning quarterbacks who watch an episode of “first take”and think they know ball and everything that is going on in CHI. #18 has zero protection, no run game, horrible coaching, suspect defense, but yet he’s supposed to overcome it all?!?! 🫣

Asking Wannstead for advice on picking a head coach? Do you guys call an electrician when your changing a faucet?

McCarthy is great choice. He has great record with Cowboys and Packers, the division the Bears operate in. He is a Super Bowl Head Coach, offensive minded, a Super Bowl winner, and worked with Aaron Rodgers. He is not under contract and may be fed up with Jerry's Insane World!

[@madtownangler]

A lot of teams changed their defenses to guard the pass because no one was rushing the ball. Now that some teams are rushing again the defenses are not set up for that. BTW... The bears still suck.
