00:00Man, Ben Johnson is out here with his chest out.
00:05He is like, hey, this is what we're doing.
00:08Yeah.
00:09What'd he say?
00:10Tough, gritty, dirty individuals.
00:11That's who we brought in here.
00:13Those were his first words about this.
00:15These signings, tough, gritty, dirty guys to be physical on that offensive line.
00:22He talked about their versatility in that same moment that you're talking about, Lawrence,
00:27his first chance to address this stuff.
00:29And he mentioned the variety of schemes.
00:33He got back to that a little bit later on when he talked about the run game in a way
00:36that really excited me.
00:39But in general, the variety of schemes he's going to run is really exciting.
00:44He also mentioned early on that they have, he has firsthand experience with Jonah Jackson.
00:49Ryan Poles has firsthand experience with Joe Tooney.
00:53That quote about Jonah Jackson, Pro Bowl caliber guard, and that's what we're going to get
00:58out of him.
00:59Ha ha.
01:00Like, get ready, Jonah.
01:01I'm going to get that out of you.
01:02He knows that it didn't go well last year, but he knows that he drives it.
01:07He's a chesty dude.
01:09He's a football coach.
01:11You know, there's a lot of people who worried about Ben Johnson is like, oh man, he's kind
01:14of a nerd.
01:15And he, he, he, he can take a joke about that and he is like, he's, he was also a quarterback.
01:22Yeah.
01:23But he, and he's, he's, he's, he's a science and math guy and he loves analytics and he
01:29also, he was a quarterback, but he, he is a football coach who will be arrogant and
01:36confident with the best of, and you saw it today.
01:38Look, I don't know if any of this relates to the bears winning.
01:42I just know that it's refreshing to not have a coach say to you, well, we're, we'll see.
01:48We'll see.
01:49He has an idea and an identity that he is trying to put together in conjunction with
01:54Ryan Poles on how all this is going to go.
01:57And I appreciate that he's not afraid to share that with you.
02:02It's not giving away scheme to say, Hey, I, I, I want our team to be tough that I'm looking
02:07for these.
02:08I'm looking for guys that can win one-on-one blocks with three tech.
02:12Oh man.
