00:00Well, Kyle Nunn guy is an ideal complementary back because he offers a contrast in style,
00:06certainly from DeAndre Swift. He's a seventh-rounder who has overachieved.
00:11But I think that based on what we saw last year, speaking for myself now,
00:17and what we have heard about this offseason and preseason,
00:22if DeAndre Swift doesn't even take on an even greater role in this offense, I would be surprised.
00:27There may not be enough carries to share equally or even the distribution that we saw last year with Nunn
00:36guy and Swift.
00:37DeAndre Swift is ready for his close-up.
00:42He is a guy that may be, I don't even want to diminish what he contributed last year by saying
00:48this could be a breakthrough season.
00:50But I do think that he is on the verge of ascending to a different level.
00:54I don't know what you call that level. Is it elite?
00:57Is it top tier? It is next tier.
01:01Because everything that you have seen in him, and now that you have another year in the Ben Johnson offense,
01:06different city, same coach, calling all the plays in the right ones.
01:12DeAndre Swift not only is a guy ready to go to the next tier in terms of running backs that
01:16we have seen around the league
01:18be rewarded handsomely in this offseason where the league has remembered how valuable the running back position really can be.
01:26There have been backs who have been rewarded from Gibbs.
01:29You go around the league and you look at Robinson in Atlanta and all these guys getting big new deals
01:35that DeAndre Swift also should feel like he deserves.
01:41And the Bears also could justify doing something like that.
01:45DeAndre Swift is going to be the focus of this offense.
01:49D.J. Moore is gone.
01:51The receivers are fighting for ways to get open to become that guy.
01:55But the one thing that will be steady each and every game plan, each and every Sunday,
02:00is that DeAndre Swift is at the center of your offense, as he should be.
02:03So the two-back offense, the two-back approach, you have to say that if you're Press Taylor.
02:07You want to implement it if you're the Bears.
02:09But it's going to be more about Swift this year than ever.
