On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll got some help from a couple of friends to preview this Sunday’s Chicago Bears vs Cincinnati Bengals game.

First, she’s joined by our very own Bill Zimmerman to preview the Bears’ side of the ball and how Chicago’s offense can get going against a struggling Bengals team. They chat about some of the secondary issues and what the defense will look like on Sunday.

She’s also joined by long-time NFL Coach Mark Duffner, who spent the last five years with the Bengals as a Senior Defensive Assistant and has nearly 50 years of NFL/NCAA coaching experience. His coaching journey crossed paths with Bears Defensive Passing Game Coordinator/Defensive Backs Coach Al Harris in Green Bay and with Chicago Head Coach Ben Johnson in Miami, so he’s familiar with Chicago’s coaching staff.

“I was around Ben Johnson in Miami when he was a young coach, and you could see how bright he was and how organized and coordinated he was in his thoughts in terms of offense,” Coach Duffner told Taylor.

“You know he’s a special guy and that tandem of Ben and Caleb (Williams) — I mean, this quarterback in my book’s got all kinds of talent, all kinds of skills, and you know, you pair those guys up, and you’ve already mentioned some of the production they’ve had, and I think it’s only going to keep getting better and better as they continue to work together. You know, everybody wants it yesterday. It takes some time for all these things to gel, but they present major problems to any defense.”
