Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the validation Caleb Williams: "After watching the tape, Caleb Williams was fine on Sunday... Good, even." It looks like he is feeling significantly more comfortable in the pocket, processing more quickly, and understanding the offense, via Ted Nguyen from The Athletic.   Are you gaining confidence that the lightbulb is about to switch on for Caleb? The Bears rank first in the NFL in yards before contact per rush attempt, and yet dead last in rushing production by advanced metrics.. How can this be fixed?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Bears still have an outside chance at being rescued this season. They're favored at home against Dallas and will likely be short underdogs in a winnable game in Vegas. Do you have any confidence the Bears will be 2-2 going into the bye?  Caleb Williams improved on Sunday relative to the MNF opener.  Are you willing to be more patient with Caleb when you see late bloomers across the league? What does that mean for patience with coaching/front office?  How much does Jaylon Johnson's injury factor into this, with it sounding like he's done for the year? Injuries are brutal. Seems unlikely Kyler Gordon will be ready for week 3.
