He has done it the entire preseason, and he's on the field. He's heavily targeted. He makes great catches. They ran the ball with him, I think, three times. So not only are they using him in the – it shows that the coaches are like, wow, we got to get the ball in this guy's hands because he makes breakaway plays. I mean, I'm taking – Just came away impressed. I am taking a late round flyer on Taiwan Taylor just to see if maybe he ends up with the role that, you know, they wanted to originally go with Corey Davis.

So take us home with the Chicago Bears. Chicago Bears side of the ball. My biggest takeaway would be after the, oh man, Cam Meredith, RIP. That was rough. That was so disappointing. Kendall Wright looked good. If Mike Lennon is the quarterback, I think Kendall Wright might be the guy to at least bump up in a PPR. He's always, I mean, who's a first round draft pick.

I mean, it was, he got in early. They're saving him. And he looked great. I mean, I'm watching Jordan Howard run. Watch Jordan Howard run. I'm thinking, okay, he looks like Jordan Howard. Then they gave the ball to Tiger Cohen. I didn't know at the time who it was yet. I couldn't see the number. And I was like, whoa, that guy's fast. And it was Cohen.

And then I never saw him again the rest of the game. But I mean, he looked great. Any word on if anything happened to him in that game that brought him off the field? Nope. Nothing through the broadcast, nothing that I have seen since then. He had been flashing, obviously. He was flashing. They used him early in the game. And then they sat him and brought in Langford. And Jordan Howard, as the game went on, got better and better. I mean, there's no report of any injury. Not a whole lot to say there. Mike Lennon did look more competent. Much more competent, yes.

55:57 ↗
