00:00The Chicago Bears are entering a crucial offseason.
00:03Big moves are already happening.
00:04A new head coach, a young quarterback, a ton of cap space,
00:07and some key draft picks.
00:09This is the moment Bears fans have been waiting for,
00:12but how do they get it right?
00:14What are the biggest priorities?
00:17First, let's talk about the biggest move we've already made,
00:20landing Ben Johnson as our head coach.
00:23This is huge, Bears fans.
00:25Huge.
00:27I've broken down every Lions game from the past two seasons,
00:30and let me tell you, this guy is an offensive genius.
00:33The way he schemed up plays for Detroit
00:35was absolutely beautiful.
00:37He took Jared Goff, yes, the same Jared Goff
00:40that the Rams gave up on,
00:41and turned him into a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback.
00:45Just imagine what he can do with Caleb Williams.
00:47Speaking of Caleb Williams, he's coming to Chicago, folks.
00:50The first overall pick is ours,
00:52and there's no way we're passing on him.
00:54I've watched every single snap he took at USC.
00:56The arm talent is ridiculous.
00:58The playmaking ability is off the charts.
01:00He can make throws from angles that shouldn't be possible.
01:03He's got that Patrick Mahomes-type creativity with the ball,
01:07but here's the thing.
01:09We absolutely cannot waste his talent
01:12like we did with Justin Fields.
01:15And that brings me to our biggest priority this offseason,
01:18fixing this offensive line.
01:20Let me be real with you for a second.
01:22Giving up 68 sacks last season, that's embarrassing.
01:27That's not Bears football.
01:29We need to protect our young quarterback,
01:31and we need to do it now.
01:34Here's my master plan for the offensive line.
01:37First, we need to sign Kevin Zeitler in free agency.
01:40I know some people will say he's getting older,
01:42but trust me on this one.
01:43I've studied his tape from Baltimore.
01:45He's still playing at an elite level.
01:47His pass protection technique is flawless.
01:50He understands how to pick up stunts and blitzes.
01:53He's exactly the kind of veteran presence
01:55we need on this line.
01:57But we're not stopping there
01:58with the ninth pick in the draft.
02:00We need to take Joe Alt from Notre Dame if he's available.
02:03I've broken down every snap of his college career.
02:05His footwork is incredible.
02:07His hand placement is perfect.
02:08He's got that mean streak you want in offensive linemen.
02:12Imagine having him protect Williams' blind side
02:15for the next decade.
02:18Now let's talk about weapons.
02:21DJ Moore is a stud.
02:22We all saw what he did last season.
02:24But he needs help,
02:25and I've got the perfect target in free agency,
02:27Keenan Allen.
02:28Yeah, he's not the youngest guy anymore,
02:30but his route running is still elite.
02:32I've studied his separation metrics.
02:35He's still getting open at an incredible rate.
02:37Plus, he'd be the perfect mentor for our young receivers.
02:41But here's where it gets really interesting
02:43with our second round pick.
02:45We need to target Xavier Worthy from Texas.
02:48His speed is absolutely ridiculous.
02:50He ran the fastest 40-yard dash in combine history.
02:54When I watch his tape, I see shades of Tyreek Hill.
02:59Having him and Moore on the field at the same time,
03:02that's a defensive coordinator's nightmare.
03:06Let's talk defense,
03:07because this is still the Chicago Bears,
03:09and defense is in our DNA.
03:11Montez Sweat was a great addition,
03:13but we need more pass rush.
03:15I've got my eye on Josh Sweat in free agency.
03:17His get-off at the snap is explosive.
03:20His bend around the edge is beautiful.
03:23I've broken down his pressure rates.
03:24They're among the best in the league.
03:26Pairing him with Montez,
03:28that's bringing back memories of the glory days.
03:32And we can't forget about the secondary.
03:34Jalon Johnson needs to be re-signed,
03:36no questions asked.
03:37Pay the man.
03:38I've charted every single one of his coverage snaps.
03:40His technique is perfect.
03:42His ball skills are elite.
03:44He's exactly the kind of cornerback
03:46you build a defense around.
03:49Now let's talk about the running game,
03:51because this is where Ben Johnson's offense
03:54gets really interesting.
03:55I've studied every single running play
03:57the Lions ran last season.
03:59The way Johnson uses pre-snap motion
04:02and creates running lanes is beautiful,
04:04but we need the right back for his system.
04:08DeAndre Swift is fine,
04:09but I think we need to draft Tre'Veon Henderson
04:12in the third round.
04:13I've watched every snap he took at Ohio State,
04:16his vision is incredible.
04:18His burst through the hole is explosive.
04:21He's got that home run ability
04:23we haven't had since Matt Forte.
04:25Here's something most people aren't talking about,
04:27special teams.
04:28We need to fix our return game.
04:30Remember when Devin Hester was striking fear
04:32into every opposing coach?
04:34We need to bring that back.
04:35That's why I love the idea of drafting Xavier Worthy.
04:37Not only can he be our deep threat,
04:40but he can also be a game turning returner.
04:44Let's talk about the tight end position.
04:46Cole Komet is solid, he's reliable,
04:48but in Johnson's offense, the tight end is crucial.
04:51We saw how he used Sam Laporta in Detroit.
04:54That's why I think we should take J'Tavion Sanders
04:56in the fourth round.
04:58His receiving ability is off the charts.
05:01When I watch his Texas tape, I see shades of George Kittle.
05:05Here's something that keeps me up at night.
05:08Our linebacker situation.
05:10Tremaine Edmonds is fine,
05:11but we need more speed at the position.
05:14The game is changing.
05:15We need linebackers who can cover.
05:17That's why I'm targeting Cedric Gray in the draft.
05:20His sideline to sideline speed is incredible.
05:23His instincts in coverage are elite.
05:27Now, let's talk about the defensive line.
05:29We need more beef up front.
05:31I've been studying Andrew Billing's tape.
05:33His ability to eat up double teams is exactly what we need.
05:38It would free up our edge rushers
05:40and make our entire defense better.
05:44The safety position is interesting.
05:46Eddie Jackson isn't the same player he used to be.
05:48We need to start thinking about the future.
05:50That's why I love Sidney Brown.
05:52His range is incredible.
05:55His ball skills are elite.
05:57He could be the centerpiece of our secondary
06:00for years to come.
06:02Let's talk about team culture for a second.
06:04Ben Johnson is going to bring a new energy to this team.
06:09I've talked to people who worked with him in Detroit.
06:12They all say the same thing.
06:13He's a leader.
06:14He knows how to connect with players.
06:16He knows how to build a winning culture.
06:21And that's what this is all about, Bears fans.
06:23Building a winner.
06:24We've got all the pieces, the cap space,
06:26the draft picks, the young talent.
06:29Now we just need to put it all together.
06:32Here's what gets me excited.
06:33Imagine this offense.
06:35Caleb Williams throwing bombs
06:37to DJ Moore and Xavier Worthy.
06:40Treveon Henderson breaking off long runs.
06:43A solid offensive line giving Williams time
06:45to work his magic.
06:47Ben Johnson scheming up plays that keep defenses guessing.
06:52And on defense, Montez Sweat and Josh Sweat
06:56terrorizing quarterbacks.
06:58Jalon Johnson locking down one side of the field.
07:01Young, fast linebackers flying around making plays.
07:06That's Bears football.
07:08But here's the thing.
07:09We need to be patient.
07:10This isn't going to happen overnight.
07:11Building a contender takes time,
07:13but for the first time in a long time,
07:16we've got all the pieces we need.
07:18We've got the right coach.
07:19We've got the right quarterback coming in.
07:22We've got the cap space and draft capital
07:24to build around them.
07:27The NFC North is changing.
07:28The Packers are rebuilding.
07:30The Vikings are in transition.
07:31The Lions are good, but they're not unbeatable.
07:35This is our chance to take control of this division.
07:38Remember the feeling when we were dominating teams
07:41with that 2006 defense?
07:43Remember the excitement when Devin Hester
07:46was making teams kick away from him?
07:48Remember the pride we felt
07:49in being the monsters of the midway?
07:51That's what we're building towards.
07:53We're not just building a team for next season.
07:55We're building a team that can compete for years to come,
07:58a team that can bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Chicago,
08:01a team that can make Bears fans proud again.
08:05This off season is crucial.
08:07Every decision matters.
08:09Every signing, every draft pick,
08:10every move needs to be perfect.
08:14But I believe in Ryan Poles.
08:16I believe in Ben Johnson.
08:18And most importantly, I believe in the Chicago Bears.
08:23The pieces are there.
08:24The plan is clear.
08:26Now it's time to execute.
08:27It's time to build something special.
08:29It's time to bring back the glory days
08:32of Chicago Bears football.
08:34So what do you think, Bears fans?
08:36Are you excited about the future?
08:39Do you believe in the plan?
08:40Let me know in the comments below.
08:42And as always, Bear Down!
08:45And remember, no matter what happens, we're Bears fans.
08:49Through thick and thin, good times and bad,
08:51we stick together, because that's what Chicago does.
