BLACK VOICES.

I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.

>> IT'S TIGHT.

FOR US TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL TOGETHER.

>> A DAY AHEAD OF THE NFL DRAFT, THE BEARS ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR A MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR DOME STADIUM ON THE LAKEFRONT.

>> I WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROPHETIC WITNESS.

I WOULD JUST DO IT IN ANOTHER LATE.

>> THE HISTORIC RAINBOW PUSH COALITION IS ONCE AGAIN SEARCHING FOR A NEW LEADER.

>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THIS FIRST BROADCAST OF CHICAGO TONIGHT IN MERA, WASHINGTON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING OUR FIRST GUEST ON THIS BROADCAST.

>> AND WE LOOK BACK AT THE VERY FIRST CHICAGO TONIGHT PROGRAM AIRED 40 YEARS AGO TONIGHT.

AND NOW TO SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

THE FAMILY OF DEXTER REID IS FILING A FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND THE 5 POLICE OFFICERS WHO FATALLY SHOT THE 26 YEAR-OLD.

>> DURING A TRAFFIC STOP LAST MONTH, ATTORNEYS AND FAMILY MEMBERS POINT SPECIFICALLY TO THE USE OF THE TACTICAL TEAM WHICH REPORTEDLY HAD 41 COMPLAINTS AGAINST IT AT THE TIME OF REACH SHOOTING.

>> HAVE NOTHING IS THAT IS THIS WILL NOT BE THE FIRST SECOND LIST THEM.

YOUNG MAN, A BLACK WITH A SIDE YOU THAT SCHOOL SHOULD NOT BE ABLE BOX CARS.

THE END OF THE LOCAL OUT LIKE THIS, A ROBBERY.

IT'S SCARY AND EVERYONE ELSE IS SCARED THAT.

>> THE 76 PAGE COMPLAINT ALLEGES OFFICERS VIOLATED MULTIPLE LAWS AND POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICIES IN THE STOP THAT LED TO OFFICERS FIRING 96 SHOTS IN 41 SECONDS.

REED'S FAMILY IS SEEKING A JURY TRIAL IN THIS CASE AND UNSPECIFIED MONETARY DAMAGES.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE BACK TO SQUARE ONE IN THE SEARCH FOR A PERMANENT U.S. ATTORNEY FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS.

THIS AFTER APRIL PERRY WHO HAD BEEN NOMINATED TO BECOME THE FIRST WOMAN IN THIS ROLE IS INSTEAD BEING NOMINATED BY PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TO BECOME A FEDERAL JUDGE.

THE MOVE COMES AS HERS AND OTHER NOMINATIONS HAVE BEEN HELD UP FOR MONTHS BY OHIO.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR JD VANCE WHO ACCUSES THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OF USING THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO HARASS THE PRESIDENT'S POLITICAL OPPONENTS.

FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY FOR ILLINOIS JOHN LAUSCH LEFT THE POSITION MORE THAN A YEAR AGO.

AND THE BEARS ARE HOPING TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN ON THEIR LATEST PLAY FOR A NEW DOMED STADIUM ON THE LAKEFRONT TEAM.

OFFICIALS UNVEILED RENDERINGS TODAY OF MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR 77,000 SEAT.

TRANSLUCENT DOMED STADIUM ALONG THE LAKEFRONT.

THE 4.7 5 BILLION DOLLAR PROJECT WOULD COST TAXPAYERS ABOUT 2.4 BILLION DOLLARS.

ANOTHER OBSTACLE, POTENTIAL LAWSUITS FROM PARKS ADVOCATES OVER THE CITY'S LAKEFRONT PROTECTION ORDINANCE.

>> 20% MORE OPEN SPACE.

THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO.

THIS IS VERY MUCH ALIGNED WITH DANIEL BURNHAM'S VISION FOR THE LAKE.

THE LAKE FRONT.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, CREATING THE THE OPEN SPACE, BETTER ACCESS TO THE PROVIDING BETTER TRAFFIC FLOW IN AND OUT CREATING JOBS, MAKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE THAT VISION THAT I HAVE FOR THE CITY OF CHICAGO'S VERY MUCH HEATHER TO TO BURN.

>> OUR HEATHER SHARON HAS MUCH MORE ON THIS STORY ON OUR WEB SITE W T TW DOT COM SLASH NEWS AND FORMER BEARS PLAYER JAMES BIG CAT WILLIAMS WILL SHARE HIS REACTION.

PLUS, THOUGHTS ON THE UPCOMING NFL DRAFT IN A FEW MINUTES.

UP NEXT, THOUGH, AFTER A NEW LEADERS.

QUICK DEPARTURE.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR RAINBOW PUSH?

>> CHICAGO TONIGHT, BLACK VOICES IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE SUPPORT OF THESE DONORS.

>> THE RAINBOW PUSH COALITION ONCE AGAIN FINDS ITSELF SEARCHING FOR NEW LEADERSHIP.

THIS COMES AS REVEREND FREDERICK HAYNES.

THE 3RD ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD STEP DOWN AS THE ORGANIZATION'S PRESIDENT AND CEO AFTER JUST A FEW MONTHS ON THE JOB, IT'S RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE HISTORIC CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION.

HERE'S WHAT HAINES SAID ABOUT HIS DECISION TO STEP DOWN.

>> IT'S BEEN MY HONOR TO SERVE.

FOR THAT, I WILL ALSO BE GRATEFUL.

HOWEVER, TODAY I SUBMITTED MY RESIGNATION AS PRESIDENT AND CEO BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT NECESSARY IN LIGHT OF THE HUGE CHALLENGES FACED BY OUR COMMUNITY IN LIGHT OF THE CHALLENGES FACED BY THIS NATION AND WORLD DURING THIS CONSEQUENTIAL YEAR, I WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE.

I WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROPHETIC WITNESS.

I WOULD JUST DO IT IN ANOTHER LANE WHILE CONTINUING TO HONOR THE WORK OF RAINBOW PUSH IN REVEREND JACKSON.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING TOGETHER.

>> AND OF COURSE, IT'S A VIDEO RIVER HAYNES POSTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA.

JOINING US NOW WITH MORE ARE CK, HALF LURE BOARD CHAIR FOR RAINBOW PUSH AND HER MEAN HARTMAN, FOUNDER OF INDIGO MAGAZINE WHO ALSO WORKED CLOSELY WITH REVEREND JESSE JACKSON.

SENIOR.

WELCOME TO YOU BOTH.

AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

SEEK A HALF OR WANT TO START WITH YOU.

PLEASE WAS REVEREND HAYNE'S DECISION TO STEP DOWN?

WAS THAT A SURPRISE?

>> THINK IT WAS A ABSOLUTELY.

BUT JUST AS >> YOU KNOW, RAINBOW PUSH AS WE ALL KNOW IS AN ICONIC CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION FOUNDED BY ICONIC LEADER, REVEREND JACKSON HIMSELF HAS ALWAYS SAID.

THAT RAINBOW PUSH COALITION HAS NEVER BEEN A VESSEL AND IT'S A VESSEL FOR MOVEMENT.

SO THE FACT THAT, COURSE WE WERE WE WERE HOPEFUL REMAINS WAS REMAINED INITIALLY WHEN WE WERE WERE ABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT FOR HIM TO BE OUR BUT HAVING SAID AS HE HE'S GOING INTO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND RAINBOW IS CONTINUING THE BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH AND WE HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY WE WILL SECURE ANOTHER LEADER.

PRESIDENT CEO RAIN BOWL AS A MOVEMENT, RAINBOWS MISSION.

REVEREND JACKSON'S VISION AND THE WORK THAT WE MUST DO IN OUR COMMUNITY IN A TIME SUCH AS IS NOT GOING TO STOP, WE'RE JUST WORKING TO GET ANOTHER LEADER.

AND OF COURSE, TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE NEXT STEPS IN THAT PURSUIT OF ANOTHER COMING UP IN THIS DISCUSSION AS WELL.

>> C K CAN YOU TALK ABOUT ANY OF THE FACTORS THAT MIGHT HAVE CONTRIBUTED?

WE KNOW THAT HE WAS BASED IN DALLAS WHERE HE THE PASTOR OF A OF A MASSIVE CHURCH WHICH MIGHT HAVE MADE SOME CHALLENGES.

SO REVEREND JACKSON, HE'S A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW.

>> A LOT OF QUESTION.

REVEREND JACKSON IS A TOUGH ACT TO FALL WITHOUT A QUESTION.

WHENEVER YOU HAVE A LEADER WHO HAS DONE SO MUCH CONTINUES TO DO SO MUCH AND HE STEPS DOWN FROM THE DAY TODAY.

THERE ARE ALWAYS CHALLENGES AND HAVING ANYONE STEP IN AND NO ONE CAN STEP IN SHOES BECAUSE ONLY ONE REVEREND JESSE JACKSON, JESSE LOUIS JACKSON WE KNOW THAT.

BUT WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS.

AND SO WE UNDERSTOOD AND CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A TOUGH ACT TO PLUS, THERE'S A TEAM.

IT'S NOT JUST AS REVENUE SET HIMSELF.

NOT JUST ONE MAN.

IT IT'S A MOVEMENT?

>> THERE THAT TEAMWORK AND THAT STRUCTURE THAT'S CONTINUES SO WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER LEADER AND IS A LEADER OUT THERE AND WE DO HAVE A STRUCTURE IN PLACE AND HOPEFULLY PRETTY SOON VERY SOON WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE WHO THAT NEW LEADER IS.

BUT LET'S MAKE NO MISTAKE.

RAINBOW PUSH IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

THE WORK THAT WE MUST DO.

THE VISION OF ITS FOUNDER, REVEREND JESSE LOUIS JACKSON THE TEAM THAT THESE A SIMPLE OVER THE YEARS.

IT IS RULE AND THAT'S GOING TO.

CONTINUE.

WHO ARE READING SOMETHING IN TO SHOULD NOT ANYTHING INTO IT OTHER, THEN THAT RAIN WILL CONTINUE ON ITS MISSION.

AND I THINK THAT IT IS YES, AND IT THIS INTERPRETATION OF REALITY REALITY OF WHERE RAINFALL TO SAY ANYTHING DIFFERENT.

SO ORGANIZATIONS AS LEATHERS 4 TO 500 OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, THIS HAPPENS, YOU KEEP IT MOVING.

YOU KEEP THAT RAIN GOING.

CAUSE A TRAIN DOESN'T STOP SEASON AND WILL CERTAINLY IN DEFINITELY WANT TO TALK REVEREND JACKSON'S YOUNGEST SON YUSEF WHO IS IS KEEPING THE TRAINS RUNNING.

OF COURSE, I WANT TO COME BACK TO THAT IN JUST A BIT.

>> I DO WANT TO GET HER MAIN HARTMAN AND HEAR HER MEAN YOU OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE WORKED WITH REVEREND JESSE JACKSON, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE EARLY DAYS WHEN IT WAS A OPERATION.

BREADBASKET PRE RAINBOW PUSH COALITION.

WHAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP IT DOESN'T MOVEMENT LIKE THIS NEED GOING FORWARD.

>> WELL, IT I THINK THERE'S SOME REVAMPING TO BE DONE.

THE WORLD HAS CK IS SAID, IT'S DEFINITELY A TEAM IS NOT A FOCUS.

A SINGLE PERSON.

AND A PERSON LIKE REVEREND JACKSON, LIKE DOCTOR KING, YOU FOLLOW THE PAST.

YOU DON'T REPLACE THE THE MAN IS IRREPLACEABLE.

THESE ARE MASTERMINDS.

THESE ARE SUPER GUYS AND THEY YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THEIR PAST.

IT'S NOT A IT'S NOT A SINGULAR REPLACEMENT AT ALL.

>> THAT SAID, ARE YOU THINK THERE ARE ANY LESSONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN FROM THIS EXPERIENCE AS AS THE ORGANIZATION MOVES FORWARD?

>> YES, THE ONE MAIN LESSON IS DOCTOR HAINES HAS A CHURCH.

13,000 PEOPLE.

DOCTOR, HAYNES LIVES IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

AND I FROM THE VERY BEGINNING IT MIGHT NOT HAVE WORK.

HAYNES HAD TO FLY IN AND FLY OUT, FLY IN AND FLY OUT, FLY IN AND FLY OUT 13,000 MEMBER CHURCH IS A FULL-BODY CHURCH WITH DEMANDS TO IT.

FOR FUNERALS AND FOR WEDDINGS CHRISTENINGS IN FOR MARRIAGES AND SO FORTH.

AND I THINK IT'S IT'S A IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK.

REMEMBER.

>> REVEREND JACKSON DIDN'T HAVE A CHURCH.

WE HAD A MESSAGE FOR PULPIT, BUT HE DID NOT HAVE A CHURCH THAT HE WAS BOUNDED TO.

DOCTOR KING GAVE A HE HE WAS THE GUEST SPEAKER OFTEN AT HIS FATHER'S CHURCH BUT TO RUN A CHURCH AND RUN A CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION.

AT THE SAME TIME, REVEREND SHARPTON DOESN'T HAVE A CHURCH.

SO TO HAVE A CHURCH IN THE RUN CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION.

THOSE ARE 2 THINGS THAT PROBABLY DON'T MISS.

>> WE HAVEN'T QUITE FIGURED OUT HOW TO CLONE JUST YET.

I THINK SOME OF US MIGHT MIGHT ENJOY THAT CK AS WE REVEREND JACKSON'S YOUNGEST SON YUSEF, STILL CERTAIN SERVING AS THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER KEEPING THE TRAINS RUNNING.

BUT WHAT ARE THE PLANS THAT THE BOARD FOR SEARCHING FOR THE NEXT LEADER OF ORGANIZATION?

>> WELL, LITERALLY, WE'VE BEEN ON THAT SEARCH FROM THE TIME THAT WE KNEW DOCTOR HANS WAS STOPPED AND WAS STEPPING DOWN BECAUSE WE SUCH AS THIS, WE GOT OUR CONVENTION COMING UP.

WE'VE GOT THE DNC CONVENTION COMING UP.

COMPTROLLER.

GUL DAY AND OUR MISSION IS SO VAST.

WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING EVER SINCE WEEK.

WE UNDERSTOOD WE CONVENED.

WE HAVE 4 ORGANIZATIONS BOARDS ARE WORKING POPS WE ALWAYS DO.

AND WE HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN A CLASS S AND IT'S AN IMPORTANT PROCESS.

AND IN THE MEANTIME, I MENTIONED USE, COURSE, THE WHEELS ARE CONTINUING TO TURN OF THE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP WHAT WE'RE DOING.

STOP THE MISSION.

I'M JUST WAITING ON A LEADER.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE WORK CONTINUED THE MISSION, SEEK A VISIT A LOT OF A LOT OF WORK COMING UP.

WE'VE GOT 20 SECONDS LEFT.

HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT THIS PERSON IS BASED IN CHICAGO?

>> OUT OF THE PERSON HAS TO BE BASED IN CHICAGO.

I THINK THE PERSON HAVE TO BE THERE TO SPEND TIME AND BE AVAILABLE TO SPEND TIME IN CHICAGO.

I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT THE PERSON DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BASED IN CHICAGO PERCENT BECAUSE THE MISSION IS A GLOBAL IT'S A NATIONAL MS.

OKAY.

AND THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR THIS.

BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO TO HEARING FROM FROM BOTH OF YOU MORE AS THE SEARCH CONTINUES.

AND AS YOU IDENTIFY WHO NEXT LEADER MIGHT SEEK A HALF LEARN.

HERMAN HARTMAN, THANK YOU BOTH FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

UP NEXT, COULD A BIG NAME QUARTERBACK AND A BRAND NEW STADIUM BE IN THE BEARS FUTURE?

STAY WITH US.

>> FOR THE CHICAGO BEARS THIS WEEK MAY JUST TURN OUT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IN THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCHISE.

TODAY THE BEARS ANNOUNCED PLANS TO STAY IN CHICAGO AND BUILD A STATE OF THE ART MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR DOME STADIUM ON THE LAKEFRONT.

AND TOMORROW BEARS ARE EXPECTED TO USE THEIR NUMBER ONE PICK IN THE NFL DRAFT TO BRING IN THEIR QUARTERBACK OF THE FUTURE.

JOINING US NOW WITH MORE IS JAMES BIG CAT WILLIAMS, FORMER OFFENSIVE LINEMAN FOR THE CHICAGO BEARS.

WELCOME BACK.

JAMES SPREAD SO BEFORE WE GET TO THE DRAFT, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE BEARS PLANS THAT THEY ANNOUNCED TODAY TO BUILD THIS 4.6 BILLION DOLLAR TRANSLUCENT ROOFED STADIUM ON THE LAKEFRONT.

THEY'RE CALLING IT, QUOTE, MIRACULOUS.

MAYOR JOHNSON WAS THERE FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

PRESIDENT KEVIN KEVIN WARREN AS WELL AS GEORGE MCCASKEY.

SO APPARENTLY THE WHOLE GAME IS ON BOARD.

WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THE NEWS THAT THE BEARS WILL STAY IN THE CITY?

>> ALL YOU HAVE THIS BIG PIECE PROPERTY OUT ARLINGTON HEIGHTS THEY PUT A YOU KNOW A LOT OF MONEY FOR AND IT'S A SPACE WHERE THEY CAN BUILD A STADIUM.

THEY CAN PUT TELLS THEY CAN.

I MEAN, IT COULD BE THEIR OWN LITTLE TUNNEL.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING AS FAR AS TALKING ABOUT COMING BACK INTO CHICAGO.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THEY SEEM TO WORK SOME THINGS OUT.

AND THE MAYOR SEEMS THINK IT'S ALL FINE AND DANDY AND JUST NOT SOLD BECAUSE I MEAN THAT THAT PROPERTY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN SO MONEY FOR THE ORGANIZATION.

>> YOU MENTION ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, THE BEARS COULD HAVE DONE WHAT THEY WANTED.

THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT AS COOL AS BEING ON THE LAKEFRONT.

OF COURSE.

BUT HOW IMPORTANT TO YOU IS IT?

YOU KNOW, AS A FORMER PLAYER, OF COURSE, A FAN THE BEARS STAY IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO >> I THEY'RE STILL CHICAGO BEARS.

IF YOU'RE AN TONIGHT.

I THINK IT'S LIKE YOU SAID IT'S A IT'S A BEAUTIFUL ATMOSPHERE DOWN.

BY THE WAY, AND THE THINGS THEY CAN DO DOWN THERE WILL BE AMAZING.

AS A PLAYER.

I CAN SEE THE LAKE.

>> I'M ON THE FIELD, I CAN SEE THAT YOU KNOW.

SO AS A PLAYER, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> THE PLAYERS ARE GOING TO PLAY WHEREVER THE STADIUM, SO NOT GOING TO OVER THE TOP VIEW WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S SOLDIER FIELD ON THE LAKE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S IT'S WHAT I CALL IT, SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE COME TO THE CITY TO SO, YOU KNOW, IF THEY CAN BUILD A FACILITY THAT.

DOES ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DO AND NOT BRING.

I MEAN, IT'S HARD GETTING INTO SOLDIER FIELD THE TIMES.

HOW ARE YOU GOING?

MAKE IT EASIER OUT WHAT THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE.

IF YOU PUT A BIGGER COMPLEX THERE WITH MORE TRAFFIC, SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO THE TRAFFIC, I THINK IS PART OF A PLAN.

>> BUT GETTING ON TO THE NFL DRAFT AS WELL GETS UNDERWAY TOMORROW.

BEARS ARE WIDELY EXPECTED TO TAKE USC QUARTERBACK CALEB WILLIAMS WITH THE FIRST OVERALL DRAFT PICK AFTER TREATING JUSTIN FIELDS.

OF OF COURSE, SAID THE TEAM IS BEING KIND OF QUIET ABOUT WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR TOMORROW.

BUT BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE SEEN AND READ ABOUT CALEB WILLIAMS, DO YOU THINK WILL BE A GOOD THING FOR THE I THINK YOU YOU KNOW, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BEARS TO RESTART THE CLOCK WITH A FRESH QUARTERBACK.

>> I THINK YOU'RE BRINGING A QUARTERBACK THAT.

HAS SKILLS HAS HOW IT HAVE TO BE REFINED.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU'RE ALMOST BRINGING YOUNG GUY IN THE SAME POSITION THAT FIELD.

THAT WHAT WE YOU KNOW, SO IF YOU CAN TEACH HIM TO RUN AN OFFENSE, IF YOU CAN RUN AN OFFENSE FOR HIM WITH THE PIECES THAT THEY HAVE NOW PUT AROUND THEM.

IT SHOULD BE VERY AN ARREST.

>> A LOT OF NFL WATCHES.

THEY SAY WILLIAMS IS SORT OF A SPECIAL TALENT, PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, GENERATIONAL OR WHAT MAKES EXCITED ABOUT HIM.

AND DO YOU SHARE THAT EXCITEMENT?

>> WELL, I THINK YOU AND YOU LOOK AT YOUNG PLAYER YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR PROBABLY THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS OF POSSIBLY BEING THE FIRST ROUND PICK AND HE'S CARRIED HIMSELF IN THAT WAY.

NOW THEY STRUGGLED USC THE LAST YEAR AND THAT WAS MORE DUE TO THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM.

BUT NOW YOU'RE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THE DRAFT IS COMING UP AND PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD THINGS OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT HE DOES ON THE FIELD AND THEY STARTED PICKING APART THE LITTLE THINGS THAT HE DOES.

WELL.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO GET SOME OF THAT STUFF OUT OF THE SYSTEM.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BUT IF THE BEARS ARE ABLE YOU KNOW, PUT ALL THE PIECES AROUND HIM AND RUN AN OFFENSE.

THAT IS YOUNG QUARTERBACK FRIENDLY BUT CAN STILL GET THE JOB DONE WITH THE PIECES THEY PUT OUR DEFENSE.

ALSO, THEY SAY THE TENSE.

SO ON JUSTIN FIELDS.

A SECOND, THOUGH, DO YOU DO YOU THINK THE BEARS MADE THE RIGHT MOVE IN TREATING HIM OR WHY NOT, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH HIM A LITTLE BIT MORE RATHER THAN PUTTING SO MUCH PRESSURE ON A FUTURE ROOKIE QUARTERBACK.

>> I THINK EVEN THOUGH THE CIRCUMSTANCES WEREN'T IDEAL FOR JUSTIN FIELDS, HE HAD HIS OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW.

AND I DON'T THINK HE GREW FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

SO BRINGING IN YOUNG QUARTERBACK THAT HAS SIMILAR TALENT, SIMILAR SKILL SET.

FRESH FRESH OFF THE WAGON.

YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH THIS GUY AND TAKE HIM FURTHER.

FASHER WITH THE PIECES THEY PUT LIKE I JUSTIN.

YOU KNOW FROM BREAKING THAT TEAM, DOW TO GET THE TEEN TO WHERE IT IS NOW.

I MEAN, IT WASN'T JUST DON'T ROLL, BUT HE STILL HAD TO PERFORM A CERTAIN WAY OR AT A CERTAIN LEVEL IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO SAY WE CAN PASS ON THIS.

>> OKAY.

BE ON THE FIRST PICK IN THE DRAFT.

THERE'S ALSO HAVE THE NUMBER 9 PICK.

WHAT TYPE OF PLAYER WERE THINK THEY NEED TO BE LOOKING I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS HARD BECAUSE PERSONALLY I WANT TO ADD TO WHAT THE BUILDING.

SO AT NUMBER 9, I WANT TO STAY THERE AND I WANT TO PICK A PLAYER.

>> WHETHER IT'S AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, WHETHER IT'S A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN, A PLAYER OF NEED.

THAT IS WHAT THEY CONSIDER A BLUE CHIP PLAYER, SOMEBODY THAT IS GOING TO ABLE TO COME IN RIGHT AWAY, BE ABLE TO PLAY.

HE'S GOING TO GO THROUGH GROWING PAINS.

BUT SOMEBODY THAT CAN BE HERE FOR 10, 11, 12 YEARS AS A STAPLE AT ANY POSITION THEY ALL RIGHT.

SO BEARS RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE COMING OFF OF YET ANOTHER LOSING BUT WINNING 7 OF THEIR FINAL 13 GAMES APPARENTLY ON.

>> BIT OF AN UPWARD TRAJECTORY.

ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT THEY REALLY NEED TO STRENGTHEN TO MAKE THEM LEGITIMATE PLAYOFF CONTENDERS OR I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THE WIRE POLL SAID WHEN HE FIRST GOT HERE, WE WANT TO START ON THE OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE LINE >> THEY THEY BROUGHT IN A FIRST-ROUND PICK LAST PLAY RIGHT?

TACKLE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A BIG YEAR FOR HIM TO SEE HOW HE PROGRESSES.

PEOPLE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE SECOND YEAR WAS THE HARDEST BECAUSE AFTER AFTER YOUR COLLEGE SEASON, IT'S FOOTBALL YEAR ROUND FOR HERE.

NOW YOU HAVE AN OFFSEASON.

YOU HAVE TO WORK OUT ON YOUR OWN.

YOU HAVE TO FIGURE SOME THINGS OUT.

SO IF YOU DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE WITH HIS CORE, HE COULD TAKE A STEP BACK, WE'RE HOPING THAT HE HAS THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN CORNER AND HE'S TAKING A STEP FORWARD.

BUT I MEAN, THEY'RE IN A GOOD POSITION RIGHT NOW.

THEY MAY BE THE EDGE RUSHER TO GO OPPOSITE OF SWEAT.

>> SO I I'M GONNA WAIT UNTIL THE START OF THE SEASON TO ASK YOU WHAT YOUR PREDICTION AND WE DO JUST YET, THEY DO TOMORROW.

BUT WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT THERE.
