“Secondly, the Vikings defense will be one of the top three U face all year. I mean, you play the Ravens, they got lit up, You play the Steelers justin fields ate them alive. If you look at the schedule, the best defenses, the Bears play Philadelphia, Green Bay twice and then Miles Garrett.”
“My take was, if the Bears get one more drive, and even if they don't score, it is a field position. Because JJ was playing with no confidence, I'm like, just pin them deep, make JJ drive ninety four yards.”

How these quotes are chosen
Each excerpt is copied word for word from a transcript the podcast publisher supplies with the episode. Nothing is paraphrased, shortened mid-sentence, or stitched together from two speakers. The timestamp is where the passage begins — 8:38on the first quote above — and the link opens the episode at that point.
Transcripts label voices as “Speaker 1”, not by name, so every quote is attributed to the SHOW unless the speaker identified themselves on the recording. We never guess who spoke. If a quote here is wrong, use “Report this quote” and we unpublish it immediately while we check.
Podcasters who have claimed their show can opt out of quoting entirely.
