>>> IT'S THE OLDEST RIVALRY IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND THE MATCH UP FANS LOOK FORWARD IT ALL YEAR.

THE BEARS KICK OFF THE SEASON BY TAKING ON THE GREEN BAY PACKERS THIS SUNDAY AT SOLDIER FIELD.

JOINING US TONIGHT WITH A PREVIEW OF THE GAME AND THE SEASON IS EMORY MOREHEAD.

HE WAS A TIGHT END FROM 1981 TO 88.

WELCOME BACK.

>> A PLEASURE.

>> ALL EYES ON JUSTIN FIELDS THIS SEASON.

HE RAN FOR OVER A THOUSAND YARDS.

DO YOU THINK WE WILL SEE MORE OF HIM RUNNING OR, YOU KNOW, WITH A SHORT OFFENSIVE LINE WILL HE TRY TO STAY IN THE POCKET FOR MORE?

>> THE PLAN IS TO HAVE HIM STAY IN THE POCKET, MAKE PLAYS, RUNNING AND PASSING.

ALL REPORTS HE HAS PROGRESSED SO GOOD IN THE PASSING GAME, LOOKING AT IT -- THAT'S REALLY GOING TO HELP HIM.

SUCH A LEAD GUY NOW.

DJ MOORE.

TRULY A NUMBER ONE.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO HELP THIS TEAM AND JUSTIN FIELDS QUITE A BIT ON OFFENSE.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BEARS, PACKERS RIVALRY WITHOUT ROGERS WHO CLAIM THAT HE OWNS THE BEARS.

>> HE DID.

>> WHAT DO YOU SAY?

>> YOU KNOW JORDON LOVE IS A NEW GUY.

WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER 18 YEARS OF HIM OR 22 YEARS OF BRETT FAVRE.

WE NEED TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.

THAT'S WHY THIS GAME IS SO IMPORTANT.

IT'S REALLY HIS FIRST GAME AS A -- HE IS THE GUY.

BEARS NEED TO GET OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT AND BEAT THIS PACKER TEAM BECAUSE THEY HAVE A NEW QUARTERBACK WHO THEY DON'T WANT THIS TO GO ON FOR LIKE ITS BEEN FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS.

WAY.

DO YOU SAY TO AARON ROGERS?

>> I'M GLAD IS HE IS GONE AND I HOPE HE DOES WELL WITH THE JETS.

THE RUN GAME IS SOLID AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

GET LOVE IN TO THE GAME.

THE PAST 40 TIMES AND PLAY GOOD DEFENSE.

>> THE BEARS ARE OPENING THE SEASON AT HOME AGAINST, AS YOU SAID THE INEXPERIENCED, LESS EXPERIENCED LOVE.

IT'S HIS FIRST YEAR STARTING.

THE BEARS ARE ONLY ONE POINT FAVORITES.

DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT TO NEW.

>> THIS GAME NOBODY KNOWS BECAUSE NOBODY PLAY.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD OUR TEAM IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T PLAY ANY STARTERS MOSTLY UNTIL THE LAST GAME.

I'M SURE GREEN BAY DID THE SAME THING.

YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS, THE FIRST LOOK AT THE FULL TEAM FROM THE WHOLE GAME AND MORE -- THIS GAME COULD GO EITHER WAY.

>> OKAY.

YOU KNOW YOU SAY IT CAN GO EITHER WAY.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOUR FINAL SCORE WOULD BE?

>> I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE A BLOW OUT BUT I WOULD TAKE ANY KIND OF WIN.

ANY KIND OF WIN.

I THINK THE BEARS TEAM SHOULD BE AT LEAST THREE TO FIVE.

>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOUR FINAL BEARS SEASON RECORD WOULD BE?

>> LOOKING AT THE SCHEDULE TODAY AND AIM A BEARS AND -- I THINK IF THEY CAN GET THE MAYBE EIGHT AND NINE THAT WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD SEASON.

COMING OFF THE THREE WIN SEASON.

THEY HAVE THE EASIEST SCHEDULE IN THE LEAGUE.

HAVING THE WORST RECORD LAST YEAR.

I'M LOOKING FOR THEM TO, YOU KNOW, PICK UP SOME WINS, MAYBE SIX TO EIGHT WINS HOPEFULLY AND ANYTHING OVER THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> ANYTHING OVER THAT WILL BE GREAT.

LOTS TO TALK ABOUT THE BEARS.

WHAT IS YOUR FEELING ON THIS ELM NOT PLAYING AT SOLDIER FIELD?

>> I WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO COME BACK AND REACH AGREEMENT WITH THE MAYOR.

PIECE OF PROPERTY THEY HAVE.

STILL A GREAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

THEY COULD DEVELOP ANYTHING THEY WANT.

THERE ARE ISSUES CONCERNING THE TAXES OUT THERE AND THE REASSESSMENT.

AND THE TAXES WENT UP FROM, YOU KNOW, TO ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES WHAT THEY WERE PAYING BEFORE.

THE BEARS SET THAT STANDARD BY PAYING WHAT THEY PAID.

INTERESTING TO SEE IF THEY CAN WORK WITH THE VILLAGE AND EDUCATORS AND GET THAT TAX THING UNDER CONTROL AND THEN MOVE FORWARD.

CRAZY THING ABOUT IT IS THE BEARS HAVE AT LEAST -- SOLDIER'S FIELD TO 2043 SO THEY AREN'T IN A HURRY.

THEY CAN WAIT THIS THING OUT AND SEE WHO GIVES THEM THE BEST.

>> WOULD YOU NOT PREFER TO SEE THEM AT THAT?

>> REDO IT.

THEY REDID IT IN 2002.

NOT THAT LONG AGO BUT THEY NEED TO DO A TOTAL BRAND NEW LIKE SOFI STADIUM.

SOME OF THESE NEW ONES.

THEY HAVE TO UPGRADE ALL THE WAY.

THEY CAN DO THAT ON THE NEW PIECE OF PROPERTY IF THEY DEVELOP IT WHICH SOLDIER'S FIELD HAS A STATUS.

A HISTORICAL STATUS WITH MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR SUPER BOWL -- BATTLING ALS.

THE BEARS HONORING HIM AT SUNDAY'S GAME AND HE IS ONE OF THREE FINALISTS TO BE A VETERAN INDUCTE IN TO THE NHL HALL OF FAME.

WHY DO YOU THINK HE DESERVES THE HALL OF FAME NOD?

>> THE THING THAT HAPPENS.

THE -- IT'S SUCH A GAME, A HALL OF STATS AND THEY LOOK AT THE NEW GUYS THAT ARE PUTTING NUMBERS UP BECAUSE THE RULES HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH SINCE 1985.

STEVE FROM THE DEEPEST TACKLE POSITION AT 95 SACKS.

THAT'S A LOT FOR THIS DEFENSIVE TACKLES.

HE WAS THE INSPIRATION.

HE WAS THE GUY THAT PLAYED IN THE MIDDLE.

WILLIAM PERRY AND -- YOU KNOW YOU HAD TO DOUBLE TEAM BOTH OF THEM AND THEN YOU HAD RICHARD DENT AND THAT -- ON THE END.

OTIS WILSON, MIKE SINGLETARY.

YOU CAN'T STOP THOSE GUYS ONE ON ONE.

THE CRAZY THING IS THAT HE WAS A GUY THAT COULD GET THROUGH THE DOUBLE TEAM AND IF HE LEFT THEM MORE ON ONE -- HE WAS IN THE BACK FIELD.

I THINK IT'S WELL DESERVED.

>> AND YOU SAW HIM RECENTLY.

>> I SAW HIM ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THE HALL OF FAME VOTE BECAUSE LITTLE CONCERNED BECAUSE WITH IN THE HOSPITAL.

NO, NO, NO.

CAME OUT AND SAW IT AND BEAT IT AND THEN LOOKED PRETTY GOOD.

PICK SOME STUFF.

COULDN'T SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.

>> TAKING IT.

>> HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE IT.

>> HE IS -- HE IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW THEY ALL HOPE HE CAN HANG ON.

SUPER BOWL WEEKEND WHEN THE FULL COMMITTEE OF THE HALL OF FAME.

I BELIEVE IT'S ONLY BEEN ONE TIME IN 1996 THAT THE -- THE WHOLE COMMITTEE DID NOT RATINQ -- WHOLE
