In with the extra point painting. It's time for the extra point with Ha and Peyton come out for the extra point on 104 3 the score What are reasonable statistical goals for Caleb Williams in 2026 completion percentage yards TDs and I and T's Well, I think that this is a this is a step forward for Caleb Williams And I think if you want to continue to progress you're going to see that reflected in the numbers I Don't get too caught up on completion percentage like a lot of people wanted to see him hit 70 Which is unrealistic and I think Ben Johnson put it there and I'm not sure why but I think 62 to 63 is reasonable Why are you laughing? 62 to 63 is is reasonable Yards he's going to average 235 yards a game So I think that that's the average I think you want to obtain so right around 4200 yards is

Realistic I think a lot of these projections of he's got to surpass 4,000. I think that is a safe bet I think he's going to play in 17 games So probably 240 per game and if you go 240 per game you can do the math So let's say 242 times 17 and that is 4,114. I'll go there Then touchdowns 29 interceptions 12 It's going to be a very good season for Caleb Williams Wow Dustin what you got? So I'm a little confused So like what do I think he's going to do what are reasonable what are expect it's a little bit confusing No, it's not no, it's not we made our predictions yesterday Reasonable statistical goals for Caleb Williams is not that is complicated So 3800 yards passing 3800 25 TDs 10 picks 67 completion percentage again, I think they're going to run the ball

I how many yards rushing do you think Caleb Williams has this year? I think good one. That is actually a really good question That's a good thing to continue 25 to 30 a game or more I Think you need him for at least 30 to 35 a game probably if you if you want him to if you think Realistically he's going to surpass 4,000 yards. Don't I don't want to run in too much She's then then you have the the the issue of of injury there So I'm gonna throw back the reason I was laughing D.H. Is because I think that is Perfect when it comes to completion percentage I know that that's the number that Ben Johnson set was 70 and that would be amazing I'm thinking it's going to be more around 63 that's why I was laughing. Okay, I said 62 between 63 Not bad at all and it's about really just I'm gonna say this over and over again Checkdowns

Reading a man in zone where there's opportunity for guys to sit in zone Coverage and get it on the ball real quick let them get yards after catch I think that's where we're going to see him excel even more which is more exciting than the The Superman plays that we always see I'm thinking right over 4,000 yards 4,050 so that's where I think he's going to be 29 touchdown same as David Only eight picks. I think he's gonna keep it I think he's gonna keep it under Keep single digit interceptions. That's protected in the football. I get another season I think that's where we're at so I'd between that eight and nine, but I'm gonna go with eight Drake May had three last night in the fourth quarter. I know I know multiply that by 17 But you know how you know how we both feel about trade now. I know. He takes a back seat K. Le Williams man Drake May is on pace for to throw 51 interception. No, yeah, 50 white interceptions

He's not gonna throw three every game though 51 Drake May 51 interceptions 27 touchdowns. I should have taken that bet that last night. I think it's an interesting statistical exercise because Last year coming in the obsession was on 4,000 yards and K. Le Williams gave voice to it Then there was about 70% completion percentage because Ben Johnson gave voice to it This year there's been maybe less talking about those kind of thresholds and more overall about the offense collectively Which I think is a good sign but The wrinkle of adding in the expectations for K. Le Williams to use his feet Jared I am not comfortable at all, but with any kind of designed runs for K. Le Williams I don't like the idea of him using his legs unless he has to There's I don't see design runs for him and that's not in Ben's

Plan but when things break down that's where we know He can take advantage of getting yards up field and He is he is one he's fast around that edge man things break down I want him to do that just be smart That's all I need you to do is be smart don't you don't he needs us He's not one of those guys is looking for contact. He's gonna get out of bounds There are two things I wanted to talk to you about and we come back will address number That's read yesterday was interesting and as it pertains to K. Le Williams Dan Weeter included a passage in that story we talked about with him in the athletic about the way the bears practice scrambled drills and how that may help This improvisation seem a little bit more scripted or natural or even like just learn to behavior And then the other one was what he had to say about His favorite target and developing chemistry with specific receivers his answer during the end of his media session the other day We did not get to it yesterday. I want to address it next because it speaks to just how much he is growing as a quarterback

And maybe you have out there some ideas about K. Le Williams statistical Goals and what is realistic to reach 4000 yards 30 in 30 touchdowns how many interceptions let us know 312 644 67 67 we're talking bears we're talking K. Le we'll get to the cubs and white socks We've got azi at eight we've got Bruce at nine But bigs time is at 725 and building a bridge to bigs time or talking bears and K. Le Williams Let us know what you think here on haunt patent Chicago sports radio 104 3 this school
