What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Bears have ruled out Kyle Monangai for Monday night against the Seahawks, and Chicago's running game just got cut in half.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCut in half how? Like, literally?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLiterally. The Big Lead says the Bears average one hundred ninety-six rushing yards a game with him and ninety-eight without him.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, look at those numbers.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo one toe is worth ninety-eight yards a week. Nobody on that offensive line is worth ninety-eight yards.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorHe ran thirty times for one hundred forty-six yards and two touchdowns against the Jets in Week Four, before the toe problem grew.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorD'Andre Swift gets most of the work now, with Roschon Johnson helping out.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd Seattle held Kenneth Walker of Kansas City to thirty-six yards on fourteen carries last week.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThirty-six yards on fourteen carries! I've seen a bench held to more than that, and I was the bench!

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo Chicago brings half a rushing attack to a defense that gave up thirty-six yards.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorCoach Ben Johnson said, quote, I would count him out this week. Before that he called him day-to-day.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDay-to-day was the toe's first draft, and it never got a second one.
