The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped!
With the Chicago Bears facing the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, we sat down with Washington great Joe Theismann!
We had a great conversation with Joe. We discussed the Commanders, Jayden Daniels, the Hail Mary last season, and what it did to the Bears’ season, how important it is for a locker room to believe, and we also talked to him about facing the ‘85 Bears (Washington and Theismann lost 45-10 to them that season).
But Joe had some great things to say about Caleb Williams and his development under Ben Johnson.
“The first thing that jumps out in my mind is the growth he’s shown from year one to year two,” Theismann stated. “Last year, he was a true rookie in the National Football League, trying to survive. He thought he could outrun defensive linemen at this level. He thought he could get away from a lot of people. He found out he couldn’t, and he held onto the football a bit longer. What Ben’s got him doing right now is get back, get the ball out of your hands, and let the guys that are supposed to run with it and catch it do their jobs… I think this year, he’s been much more disciplined.”
