Jonah Jackson

Yeah, I hear that.

Jonah Jackson did not participate.

Malik Muhammad limited.

And the good news, TJ Edwards hamstring.

And, well, they do.

And it's part of the reason why the Bears have invested in Drew Dallman, Garrett Bradbury, Logan Jones, Joe Tooney, Jonah Jackson, all those guys.

And that was Ben Johnson's first priority as... coming here was getting interior linemen because no quarterback can withstand that interior pressure.

And the funny thing about that is even when you do have those elite guards, there are guys that can still beat even them.

Your most expensive player on offense is Joe Tooney.

You also signed Jonah Jackson.

You've invested the majority of your capital before this trade with Simmons to be an elite offense.

So if the Bears win a Super Bowl this year, it's going to be because of great offense, not great defense.

I think it's going to be a little harder to get Joe Tooney the ball.

What about Jonah?

We'll

misdirect with us.

Yeah, and Dennis Allen's group has played pretty good football sometimes this year, too, right? So you add a piece like that, and Simmons, he's a guy who's going to come in, do his job, and earn everyone's respect.

And you take a look at the Chicago Bears, and you talk about Lawrence, you know, when Erlacher and we were all there with the Chicago Bears and the respect we had for each other and the way we competed.

Man, they got Jonah Jackson.

They got Joe Tooney.

Oh, yeah.

Jonah Jackson and Drew Dallman, you've got to give him credit for that as well.

There was

no way he could have known.

And I think if you're the Chicago Bears fans, you have to be excited that Ryan Poles was willing to make these moves.

Ryan Poles has shown on so many instances that he is going to do whatever it takes to shore up a weak spot on this football team.

He did it a couple years ago by trading away picks to go get Jonah Jackson and Joe Tooney to shore up the interior part of the offensive line.

He's now made the move with Jeffrey Simmons to shore up the interior of the defensive line.

Yeah, look, I've been a critic of Poles as far as the way he's built teams from back to front, defensive backs featuring those guys over drafting and taking enough swings up front.

The offensive line, remember, he tried to patchwork it before he ended up trading for Tooney, trading for Jonah Jackson, signing Dahlman.

So he knows what the narrative is about him and the way he builds his football team, and he addressed that today.

I mean, I remember having conversations with you guys, and I hear it all the time.

we're gonna hear all of jeffrey simmons press conference coming up in the next segment you got to talk with with a couple of the guys on the o-line

Yeah, man, I got to talk to you guys' boy, Jonah Jackson.

He was kind of hanging out with Darnell Wright.

And so I went up to both of them and had a little exchange.
