<v Speaker 1>joined by defensive coordinator Sean Dasai after seven thirty tonight. Uh,

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>good evening, Matt, First and foremost, how you feeling. Everybody

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>would like to know how your health is? Yeah, Hi, Jeff,

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. No, I'm feeling a lot better and it's

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>it's good. And you know, I just uh yeah, it

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>was it was wasn't wasn't easy watching that game yesterday

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>on TV. But that's part of how this thing goes.

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>And uh um, you know, we gotta we gotta be

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>able to regroup and get back at it. How many

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>times did you jump out of your chair or you know,

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>pull out whatever her you have left on your head

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>as a man, you're a fan at that point, No, No,

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>you really are, and it's uh um, you know you

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>just put your phone to the side, you don't look

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.599
<v Speaker 1>at it. You don't want any calls or text messages.

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>You just want to watch the game and be entrenched.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>And I know in the touchdown pass that Justin had,

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I started yelling and I was just real

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>excited and just happy for the guys, and um, you know,

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and then you go through and you just you you

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>go through the rest of the game, and you know,

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>just the way that went in the second half. Uh,

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you just really wish we could have came out of

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>there with the win. And so that that's probably the

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>most difficult part obviously. So assuming that you'd have Jeff

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and Tim on the radio listening to the broadcast, but

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to time up with the television. So you're

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>do you have the TV sound down? Are you just

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>absorbing it on your own it? Did you have it

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>cranked up? No? I had it down low, and I

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>just was I was just trying to to to watch

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the game, um from my perspective and just get a feel.

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>You you are able to see replays and you can

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of things that you can't see down

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>on the sideline. UM. So that that part is good,

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, it was more about visual

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>than audio. Would you learn about this experience about your

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>own self. Yeah, you know, very difficult being a way

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>when everybody else is um is back into facility. All week,

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I had no clue what to expect for those three

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and a half hours on game day, I had no clue.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>And it was it was hard, um you know, I mean,

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I was just I just was at a point where

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I again, it was kind of crazy. But I can remember,

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, back in nineteen ninety three when I was

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>growing up watching a basketball game. I was a Michigan

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>fan and watching them. Uh they were down big, like

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty points to UCLA in the ninety three NCAA tournament,

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and I remember watching the game and being like superstitious

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and not moving and they started creeping back and winning,

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and so I was kind of I found myself yesterday,

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>like just sitting here watching the game and we were good,

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>things were happening, and I wasn't moving, you know, I

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>was just shoot, I was just staying in the moment.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's just hard. It's weird, it's different. You don't

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>want to do it, but it is what it is,

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it's just it's just it was a

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>part of the protocol. Heck, I used to have my dad.

0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>We'd be watching the game and things we're getting out

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>of hand and losing. I'd leave and then when I

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>can hear him yelling out in the basement and he

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't let me back down because I I left. Yeah,

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>it was superstitious. But you can appreciate with fans in

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a different perspective now through sometimes Hey, I even lose

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>that a little bit from a fan perspective because we're

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>absorbed in what we're doing professionally. I think for sure

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you can you can definitely understand how that can go

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>from from that side of it, and uh, again, just

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>just how how that is. And it's totally different. It's

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>totally different watching it on TV than being down on

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the sideline and everything that goes on. And you can

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>definitely see a lot. You see a lot throughout the

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>game and just a little with the with the replays

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>and stuff that they show, and you can get to

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>feel too from the game as well, just kind of

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>how the momentum is going. But um, you know that

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>that's probably the biggest thing that I noticed. All Right,

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>we can probably point to a series or two that

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>turned the outcome in this one. You're up sixteen nine.

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>You're outscored twenty six. But the drive before the half,

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you get a field goal and no touchdown. You know

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you're getting the second half kickoff, but they get the bomb.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were they that the clock running. I thought, okay,

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>they're really doing this. The bomb for the three for

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the field goal, and then out of the locker room.

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>You have a thirteen play drive but to a field goal. Yeah,

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and that seemed where the slippage felt, would you agree, Yeah,

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>So we we didn't come away with a touchdown on

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>third and goal, we lost four yards. It was first

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and goal at the five we lost. We ended up

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>losing four yards. Um, you know at an you know

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>there's times in the red zone, like so when you

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>get in the red zone, you gotta you gotta have

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>positive yards. But on that third and goal when we

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>threw it to coal, you know, we didn't come away

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.840
<v Speaker 1>with the touchdown, and and then you know, we come out,

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>like you said, we get three points and then they

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>end up getting at that long screen and it just

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of went from there. So being able to recover.

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Now we're all that said, and you're still in the game.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Justin had that big play on fourth and one on

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the scramble and the spe play that he had and

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>you're right there, and then you know, they went down

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and scored again, and so we just couldn't recover from that.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>And you could just kind of feel, like like I

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>said this morning, touchdowns in the red zone and then

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you got to get stops. They didn't have many third

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 1>downs in the second half, and they had too many

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>explosives in that game. Yeah, I couldn't believe the math.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>They were seventeen plays at ten or more for four

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty two yards. We had thirteen for two

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred some and you'd be you'd be happy with that too,

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>But that's an extraordinary amount. So what do you think

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>they were doing to create those It seemed like they

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>were working your edges pretty good. Yeah, they did a

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>good job of working the edges, you know, getting the

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>tosses on the outside and then a couple contested catches

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that they came down with, obviously the big one. I mean,

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 1>when you look at it right, they had a what

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>was it a fifty yard fifty yard post throw at

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the end of the half, and then an eighty yard

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>throw that's one hundred and thirty yards in two plays

0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to the same guy. So these are he's a good one.

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.799
<v Speaker 1>He's a really good football player, and that's not something

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>that when we knew that going into it. But those

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>are the ones that, you know, those big explosives. They

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>flipped the field and they scored. You know, they ended

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 1>up getting a field goal off of one and a

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>touchdown off to the other. But those are the ones

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 1>that we got to eliminate. And you know, the other

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>part two is being able to start getting some takeaways

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and flipping the field that way is going to be

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 1>something we really need to emphasize, and getting those takeaways

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>is paramount in any NFL game. Justin took a big step.

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>His attitude. You could feel it, as you often refer

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to it when you watch it. You can feel it

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 1>the way he was bouncing in the pocket, hanging in

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, leaving the pocket, running quickly when he had

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to see green grass. There's a lot to

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>break down. We will in our next segment, but in

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>these final thirty seconds before this segment, if you kind

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of summarize what he did, Yeah, he played fast. His

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>decision making was great, there was no hesitation, He played confident,

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the game is slowing down to him, in my opinion.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>You can see it. He was excellent on third down.

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>If you're if you're good on third down in this league,

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have a chance. So growth for him. A

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of great growth yesterday for him, and I think

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>we all need to be really excited about that because

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that's and then oh, by the way, you rushed for

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>one hundred plus yards, so that's an element that really

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 1>helps us out. Eight of ten on third down throwing

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the football, he had five first downs and just one

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>sack going into the game. Five interceptions, ten sacks on

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>forty five pass plays on third down, no touchdown, So

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a big improvement there. I'm gonna take Fields was gonna

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>do something with it, but it was not this. He's

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to get out of trouble, breaks out of a tackle,

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>lift to the fifteen ten five peno touchdown, touchdown Bears

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty two yard and lift play I'll broke it. Play

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>turn into six for Justin Fields. Welcome back to the

<v Speaker 1>Whipley dot Com with Matt Naggie, Jeff Joni X. So

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you just heard the exciting play Justin fields. He rocked

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the building. He rocked the building this south then as

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Soldier Field was his home. He was looking into the

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>crowd and everybody saw a glimpse of what the future

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>could be. Nine forty three to go in the game,

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and I know, I yelled, we got ourselves a ballgame.

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>The mixed extra point certainly was a downer there, but

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>otherwise it would be tied at twenty three, still in

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>a great spot to win this football game. Yeah, that's

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those special plays that I think we're all

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>going to remember. Um, you know, we had a we

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>had a little movement player and naked being able to

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>get on the edge and they did a good job

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>of containing that taking it away. And sometimes that happens

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>in this league. And so you got it's about the players,

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and Justin made a heck of a play on his own,

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and then guys working on the backside helping to get

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 1>some blocks and then finishing with a touchdown. Like you said,

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you could feel it in the south end zone. You could,

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 1>you could, you know, h everywhere watching it on TV

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and didn't matter. You could feel it. And so it's

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>one of those moments, one of those plays that we

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>all kind of felt the same thing and to make

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it what we thought was gonna be a tie game.

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>We obviously missed the extra point, but that that was

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>definitely a special moment. That was the first time since

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Douglas in nineteen seventy three. I don't know if

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you ever put on some Bobby Douglas highlights when he

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>is he ran for you know, a lot of yards

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>in his career, but you don't necessarily want that. You

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>want it balanced. But those big plays are there and

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>they're there for the taking against defenses that'll put them

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on their heels. And when he was on the move,

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he I think he was perfect throwing the football and

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>design rollouts and he had eighty some yards of his

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards were on those type of plays. Yeah, and

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>when you add that element to his game that he

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>has in when it could be a play action, it

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>could be a drop back if it's not there, and

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you see a lot of other quarterbacks that have the

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>ability that he he has, they take off and run

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and now now that's a major stressor to the defense.

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Now you're talking about scramble drills. Now you're talking about

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh, fifteen plus yard runs. It's a whole

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>other element. And he did that yesterday. You got to

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>be able to balance that now with how much and

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>where and all that. But yesterday, again, Justin grew as

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>an NFL quarterback and that that's you know, you hate,

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you never want to lose and all that, and that's

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 1>that's the tough part. But but Justin grew yesterday, and

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>we want to we want him to grow and win.

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite plays was the third and thirteen.

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>He threw to Marquise Goodwin under a blitz on time

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>in rhythm, picked up twenty two yards, let him have

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>some after the catch on that which you think of

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 1>that one. Yeah, decision was awesome, Timing was awesome, accuracy

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. Uh, Marquise ran a great route and again

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>NFL throw, it's never always a clean clean pocket. There's

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>always stuff in front of you. And he made death row.

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>So you know, even starting with his progression and his

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>decision based off the coverage they gave us, that's where

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>we get excited as coaches. And he did it there,

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, Alan Robinson has been a big third down

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>weapon for you in his years here, and because he

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>got the lion's share of the targets. That's obviously changed

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to this point of this season so far. But emerging

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 1>now is Darnell Mooney in that target for third down.

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>He had a couple of more third down catches, now

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>leads the team in third down catches. Is it important

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 1>to develop a guy that is a go to guy?

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>A lot of these guys that you see around the

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>league quarterbacks having you know, they need a guy in

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 1>third down, they're going to this guy. Yeah, it's nice

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to have a few. And a rob has been amazing

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>for us this entire time he's been here. And when

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you get you know, a younger rookie that was in

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 1>here like Mooney who comes in and now is in

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, not a rookie anymore. He's able to go

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>out there and learn how to play this game. And

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>he's done that, and so you have multiple guys that

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>you can rely on it, which may said the stresser

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>on the defense because they got to guard different guys

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and so it might be one game that a Rob

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>gets more Mooney another, But it was nice to see

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that yesterday with Darnell and him starting and building that

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>connection with Justin. No, let's talking about the run game

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>because Khalil Herbert was really good again. But was there

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 1>an adjustment at all by San Francisco because there was

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>one series he had four negative runs. I mean, the

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>hats were moving across the line of scrimmage, no question

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>about it. Um, was there an adjustment from your perspective

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>after watching it on your tablet. No, there wasn't an

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 1>adjustment there. Some of that was, you know, they they

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>made good plays, uh, you know, and that was rare

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>for sure. I agree, And even watching it on TV

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>when you see man, you know, they weren't four run

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 1>plays in a row, but they were four run plays

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>for losses in that series. That's not like us, let

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>alone losing It's one thing to lose one, but to

0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>lose four yards on three or four of those that that's, uh,

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 1>we can't have that. So we're really digging into the

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>tape and looking, like you said, schematically slash execution and

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>all that time it together. But I thought Khalil ran

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball really well and he got opportunities, and that

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>offensive line again was doing everything they could. Here's Fields

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>got a bootleg it throws side arm pro went to

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the end zone for the touchdown. That's Jesse, Jesse James.

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>What a throw by Fields on a bootleg left. Download

<v Speaker 1>bets and accustomed Bears Jersey. There was the touchdown throw

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and a beauty from Justin Fields to Jesse James and

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>an eight play catch that had a lot to it.

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>So I love for you to break down those plays

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>from your eyes. Special quarterbacks are able to go to

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>their left and throw against the grain, and he slots

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 1>his arms sometimes in different levels, which is also not

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>something every quarterback can do. That's encouraging and enticing for me.

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell us all about that play? Yeah, so

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you know it's just a simple bootleg or naked to

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the left. I thought our tight ends did a really

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>good job of getting good releases and cold did a

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>wonderful job at protecting the edge. Jesse got out to

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the corner. You want a nice sell with the run

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and then coming back out you get a little bit

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of depth. You got to get your head and eyes

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>around to be able to locate the corner route. And

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>then whoever else is coming into your vision along with Cole,

0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>who's going to bounce back out for an opportunity to

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>throw it to him. But Justin at that point in time,

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>rolling to his left, that's one of the most difficult

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>throws that you can make as a right handed quarterback.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>And so when you go back and slow motion it

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and you pause it and you look at it, you

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 1>realize how accurately, how accurate he was with the throw.

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>And then the TV copy, which you know we could see,

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>was it made it by about an inch off of

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the defender's fingertips. And then Jesse made a great catch.

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So you needed a lot of things to happen. And again,

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>like in those situations, it's about the players making plays,

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and our players made plays right there. That was a

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, they played good defense, we played better offense.

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Is how that went. So those touchdown passes, those throws

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>are all immense confident builders for Justin. The more of

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>those he can have, the more that confidence is going

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to come out. And I think we all felt it

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and you saw it in the way his emotions.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>You could see it in the way he played. And

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the more that we get from that, the more that

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>this offense is going to really start taking off and

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot of good things. And that's that's the

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>growth that we really want to see in our site

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>at all about you're being chased, you're rolling, you're looking,

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you're running out of real estate. Your target is on

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a postage stamp because you gotta keep it away from

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the defender. What's the key for the accuracy on that one?

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Because you can't set your feet? But it is it hips?

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Is it shoulders? What is it? Yeah, it's well, Number one,

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it's practice, which he does that coach flipping them work

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that throw a lot, because we have that in, you know,

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>in our game. But then there's a little bit of

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 1>feel to it as well. You know, it's like it's

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>like sometimes it's like a basketball player they got a

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 1>guy in their face and they got to shoot a

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>fade away three. You know, you gotta have some touch,

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's kind of what that was. When you flip

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>those hips around, you gotta have you gotta be able

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to throw through it. You can't throw across your body.

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be able to flip the hips around both

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 1>your feet are in the air, and then you got

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to have just great accuracy and a lot of that

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>is DNA. That's him. You know. Some guys have it,

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>some guys don't. He's an accurate thrower and that's a

0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 1>play right there where we needed him to be spot on,

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and he was. Larry Born first start, and then they

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>started shoving Nick Bosa over there. Quite the challenge for

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>your first NFL start? How do you? How do you fare?

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>He did really well. I was proud of Larry. I

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>thought that it didn't surprise me because he prepares himself

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like he should. Uh, He's well coached, and his teammates

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>do a great job of working with himself. He's only

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna get better because he wants it and he has

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it in him. He's a big he's athletic for his size,

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and like I said, he cares. So when you have

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that again, another rookie that to me, is only going

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to get better every rep he gets. I know you're

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 1>getting a lot of questions about future and where this

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>goes after three game skid and where you're at and

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>so forth, But I'm assuming I know the answer to this,

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Does the message change, does the process change? No? Nothing changes.

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.479
<v Speaker 1>But what we need to do is we need to

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>just you know, make sure we're we're extremely focused with

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 1>the details, just the little things. And then it's about

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it's about finish. We played, you know, three quarters yesterday,

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>two and a half quarters, three quarters. It's about finishing.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 1>It's about these these these phases playing together. There's no

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.880
<v Speaker 1>easy game in the NFL. You can't say that. We

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 1>got to come out every week and know whoever we're playing,

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>how are we going to win? And that's what we

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>gotta do. And again I have ultimate belief in every

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 1>single one of these guys in that locker room, players,

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 1>all the coaches that are that are here. Um, in

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 1>times like this, we get tested. Um we we we

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>stay tight. Uh we we we we speak the same language.

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.440
<v Speaker 1>We practice hard because how you practice is how you play.

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>And then on game day you go do it. Uh.

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>And so we got a You saw a team yesterday

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>in the forty nine ers at lost four in a

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:25.199
<v Speaker 1>row and they came back yesterday and got to win. So, um,

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>we need to go one and oh we need to

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>beat Pittsburgh in a hostile environment on primetime Monday night,

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>and we got to do it together. And that's the

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>only thing we can control right now is doing that.

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 1>All right. You get the Steelers, tough minded coach, tough

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.360
<v Speaker 1>football team. You know what you're getting from a past

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 1>rush pressure standpoint in a running game. And then if

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a big ben no, they for sure. I mean

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.239
<v Speaker 1>they got there. They got a coach and spend there

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 1>a long time that that does a wonderful job. They

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 1>got a quarterback to spend there a long time that's

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>won a lot of big games. Um, and I think

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what a what a big win for them

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.879
<v Speaker 1>yesterday against Eveland. So they're going to be coming in

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.160
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of confidence. And we gotta we gotta

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 1>again understand playing together, playing tough, vehem mentally tough, physically tough,

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and doing whatever we need to do to I don't

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.440
<v Speaker 1>care however it is, but by one point, win the game.

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, Matt, Good health to you. We'll talk to

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.959

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Dasai looking back at yesterday's game and looking ahead to

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the Pittsburgh Steelers. Good evening, Sean, how you feeling. What's

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 1>your overall takeaway on what transpired yesterday? Yeah, you know,

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think defensively, in particular, we didn't play up

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to our standard. We didn't play the Brandon football that

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 1>we wanted, and that's disappointing, and it starts with me,

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and so we're obviously gonna get the things that we

0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.679
<v Speaker 1>need to get corrected as a group, business, staff and

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 1>with the players, and then look forward to this great

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 1>opportunity we got on the road, which would be a

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 1>tough challenge against Pittsburgh. Anything that is a common theme

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.479
<v Speaker 1>through what happened yesterday and the big plays, you know,

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I would say just a lot of technique

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and fundamental issues, whether it's a run play with the

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>guy over the gap or getting off blocks and making

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 1>some plays on that wide receiver screen, some scrambled plays

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that were extended, and find some holes in some defenses

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>where we need to be better with our plastering. So

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of different things, and then they kind

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.360
<v Speaker 1>of hiss in a lot of different ways, and those

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>are things that we're going to be looking forward to

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>getting corrected quickly. And they tacked the edges quite a bit,

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 1>tried it a little bit. You gotta keme in there,

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and Eddie though, and the big guys up front, you know,

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 1>it's probably not the best place for them to go.

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.719
<v Speaker 1>But those pitches it was almost like army football pitch right,

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 1>pitch left, But they were getting to the edges. So

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>with pursuit, how do you get a guy to fundamentally

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.239
<v Speaker 1>technique wise score up and make those plays? Well, I think,

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, part part of getting to the edges is

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 1>making sure that we have good edges in our defense,

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>whether that's you know, usually falls in the outside linebacker

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 1>room or defensive back to making sure that we're setting

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the edges firmly and not getting wide in there. So

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 1>then like you said, we can force cutbacks into the

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 1>meat of our defense. And then from a stack backer

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.159
<v Speaker 1>position in a safety position, and the guys that are

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 1>stack fitting, they got to be able to feel and

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 1>temple those linemen coming up quick, hind them and getting

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.359
<v Speaker 1>over the top, and then when you do that, there

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 1>should be some gap exchanges with the d lineman where

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:32.959
<v Speaker 1>they need to be able to rip and run as

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>well and set leverages and win their gaps. In terms

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.479
<v Speaker 1>of pressure of the last few weeks, obviously you have

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 1>some great quarterbacks this game, a very good offensive line,

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>anything that you looked at from a pressure point of view,

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 1>because there weren't weren't a lot of pressure on Jimmy

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo yesterday. No, yeah, you know, we didn't. We didn't

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 1>get to him as much as we would have liked

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to the first half we played some pretty good defense

0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and held him to some field goals there. But the

0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 1>second half we didn't really have any many opportunities on

0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>third down. You know, we had the big third down

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>and then we didn't. We didn't get him to third

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>down really until the four minute situations towards the end

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.399
<v Speaker 1>of that end of the game there. So we got

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 1>to do better on first second down and we got

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.879
<v Speaker 1>to earn the right to pressure the quarterback and then uh,

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>we gotta be able to mix it up on first

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>second also and bring a little bit more pressure where

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.479
<v Speaker 1>we're still sound in the run defense, you know, just

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 1>like a Keen brought up yesterday and post game and

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>then just looking at it now myself, just with a

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>minute and a half to go before halftime, one hundred

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and thirty three yards of offense and six points, you're

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:36.679
<v Speaker 1>feeling really good. And I honestly thought, gosh, they weren't

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>in a hurry for that final drive before halftime. The

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:42.399
<v Speaker 1>clock has run. I'm thinking, are they Are they not

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna try and even get in a field goal position?

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Is there any tendency win? The defense is also seeing

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that that you relax a little bit, I know you can't. Yeah, no,

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't think we relaxed. Uh you know,

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I just think they caught us in a coverage and

0:22:56.160 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 1>split safety coverage or they had a whole throughout, you know,

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 1>against one of our corners, and uh, you know, we

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't execute with our technique there and it was a

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.199
<v Speaker 1>fifty fifty ball and obviously Deepo Samuel came down with it,

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and then we didn't get the help to the corner

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that we need to get. And that was a technique

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:16.159
<v Speaker 1>and fundamental issue we need to get corrected. And we

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>will get corrected there. Quite frankly, you know that that

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>was the way the forty Niners are going to run

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:22.919
<v Speaker 1>their two minute drill. You know. Part of part of

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the way they run their two minute you look at

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 1>it throughout the season, is trying not to get the

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 1>ball back to the other team, whether it's the end

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>of a a half war in the game, and so they're

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>very patient. Kyle Shandon is a great job in terms

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:36.439
<v Speaker 1>of being patient in the two minute, and so we

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>expected that patience. We had an opportunity on third and

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 1>four to get off the field there and we didn't

0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>get off the field. We lost a one on one

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>on the slant route there, so that single game Bears

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>coordinator Sean Desai looking at the game yesterday, and we'll

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:57.639
<v Speaker 1>also take a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers coming up

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 1>here in a moment. One other thing on the defense

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>and what you faced. Did they do anything drastically different

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:09.159
<v Speaker 1>in the second half in terms of their scheme? I

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say in terms of their scheme. I think they

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>came out and tried to temple us a little bit

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and they went to a little bit empty. But you know,

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:19.479
<v Speaker 1>we kind of lead the league and empties against us,

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 1>empty empty formations against us, so we expected some empty

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:24.680
<v Speaker 1>because they had hit us on some of those. Uh

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>were tried to get us and we've actually played pretty

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>good on some of those in the first half, and

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 1>they just tried to get the ball out fast. You know,

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>they didn't with the rush going. There's a lot of

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>quick game where there was rhythm passing and tried to

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 1>hit some spots. There were some easy throws for the

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:40.919
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and we weren't able to disrupt them, and so

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 1>they got some chunk yards, whether it's an eight yard

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 1>gain or eleven yard gain, and got themselves in some

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 1>manageable second down situations. Why do you think teams have

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 1>trended in that direction against you in that regard, like

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you just said, with the empty yeah, I think you

0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>know one thing empty does is it forces teams to

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:03.120
<v Speaker 1>sometimes show their coverages. You know, we're we're a mix

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of coverage where we'd like to show split safety and

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:08.360
<v Speaker 1>play some post safety defenses. We'd like to use that disguise.

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 1>If your pressure, it shows your pressure. So I think

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:13.040
<v Speaker 1>for them it negates the past rushing and able to

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 1>get the ball out quick and trying not with the

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>big guys up front hunt a little bit. And so

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:19.119
<v Speaker 1>we got to be tired to those routes and we

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.919
<v Speaker 1>have to change up kind of who we're bringing as

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the rushers. With Eddie Jackson going down to the second

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>play of the game, did it alter a plan you

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 1>may have had, Well, you know, anytime one of your

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>starters goes down, you need to be cognisant of that.

0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know we've got an next man up mentality

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and DHC and Tease table fulfill that role at the

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>other safety spot for the rest of the game. We

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:44.880
<v Speaker 1>did a suffishing job and we'll just continue to grow

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and improve there as well and get the continuity back

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to with the communication that we want to be able

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>to get. Are you concerned at how much rushing yards

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 1>are are piling up here in the last four weeks? Yeah,

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think that's always a concerning. We want

0:25:57.440 --> 0:25:59.439
<v Speaker 1>to play good run defense and starts with the upfront

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 1>and being physical. Well, you know, the first half of

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that game, I thought, I thought we did a pretty

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:04.199
<v Speaker 1>good job or some of you know, we gave up

0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 1>one run play for about twenty seven yards in the

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 1>first half. But the second half they leaned on us again,

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and they found us in some situations where

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 1>we got cut out some gaps and hit the perimeter

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and forced us in some situations where we need to

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:21.679
<v Speaker 1>swarm a little bittar than we did. And so yes, uh,

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to answer your question, the run defense will improve, and

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 1>we need to make sure that our guys were able

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:28.240
<v Speaker 1>to process that and I got to get them in

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.160
<v Speaker 1>situations where they're the proper leverages to make those plays.

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>What are some positives that came out of this? Obviously

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 1>when you lose, you don't you don't want to just

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 1>dwell all on the negative. There's got to be things, sure,

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.160
<v Speaker 1>building blocks for the next game. Yeah, No, I think

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 1>there are. There's there's always some building blocks. Like I said,

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.200
<v Speaker 1>we played a pretty good defense in that first half,

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you held you held a good offense

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>to some limited yards. We know some places that we

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 1>need to improve, even after the big wide receiver screen

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:54.560
<v Speaker 1>in the second half that they on that third and

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:57.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty we got on the third down in the red zone.

0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, so he played good for a second down

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>defense down on the two yard line, but you got

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to win on that third down. And that's that's the

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>thing that we want to continue to build on, is uh,

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>there's instances of us playing really good football. Now the

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 1>channel is to be consistent for sixty minutes, to bring

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that brand of football for the whole sixty minutes of

0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the game. On a run like Elijah Mitchell, I think

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 1>it was a thirty nine yard or I don't remember

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the exact but at that point the game, you're also

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:22.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to get the ball back and so guys are

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 1>trying to rake you at it. It is a tricky

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>thing because you need a possession at that point in

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the game. But at the same time, you know, if

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 1>you can keep them off the board, you know, it's

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a real interesting situation. What is your coaching points on

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that run? Yeah, the first thing is one, we got

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that the first guy gets secures the tackle,

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and then the calvary's got to come to, like you said,

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 1>hold them up and try to punch the ball out,

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:46.920
<v Speaker 1>but the first guy has to secure the tackle. You know,

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:50.119
<v Speaker 1>they outleverage us and we had some fit issues there.

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 1>But the first guy that's that's in on that tackle

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:53.920
<v Speaker 1>needs to make sure they're wrapping up and hold the

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 1>guy up until the rest of the guys come. I

0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 1>looked at I think it's play six of the game,

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Eddie Goldman dishing gage. This guy came in, made a

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:06.640
<v Speaker 1>really nice play, a powerful play. Now that he's had

0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:09.719
<v Speaker 1>several games, I think he had thirty snaps yesterday. Are

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you are you seeing more of those coming? And how

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:16.680
<v Speaker 1>important would those type of plays be to deter their

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.919
<v Speaker 1>interest the opposition and going inside there? Yeah, no, I

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>think I think Eddie, like you said, he's still been

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:25.000
<v Speaker 1>getting his feet when he's getting better each week, and

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>this this is one of his better games with his

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.159
<v Speaker 1>hands and his physicalness at the point of attack. And

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, we expect him to continue to grow that

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 1>way and that that will continue to help the interior

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:37.679
<v Speaker 1>of our run defense and that'll look probably for some

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:39.240
<v Speaker 1>people to try to run on the perimeter where we

0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>gotta make sure we're secured there. And what was it

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the impact of having a keen back, you know, a

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>guy a veteran like that, his mindset and his approach.

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>It's always a positive impact to having back. He's a

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>physical presence obviously down the middle of the defense, and

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 1>he likes to play sort of physical type of football,

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and so we'll continue to grow with him there as well.

0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 1>A final moments here on the Bear's Coaches Show, which

0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Sean side the various defensive coordinator as we get you

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>set for the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. One thing real quick,

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you know before every season, everybody's got the high hopes

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that everybody stays healthy, everybody plays to their level. But

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know. You may know how many snaps

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>you've had with Hicks and Roquan and Khalil Mack and

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Quinn and Eddie Jackson on the same field at the

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>same time. It hasn't been much this year. Obviously that's

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>out of everyone's control you go about it, but you

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 1>just wonder what it would be like if they could

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 1>have a consistency of all those guys together at the

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 1>same time. Yeah, no health, health for sure in this

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:41.720
<v Speaker 1>league matters, but like you said, there's really no time

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 1>for us to wonder and hope and wish for and

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>so we gotta do the best with the guys that

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>we've got, and we liked the guys that we got,

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and we got to continue to develop them and integrate

0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 1>them with everybody else. Because the biggest thing when you

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:56.719
<v Speaker 1>talk about health issues is is working as eleven as

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>one Because guys get a lot of reps together with

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 1>each other other, they know each other, play, they communicate

0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>well with each other, and then when you get new

0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 1>moving pieces in there, uh, you got to ramp up

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the learning time and make sure everybody's still on the

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 1>same page. And so that's that's usually the biggest sound

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:13.719
<v Speaker 1>from guys Ranger. But I think we've got the coaches

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and the players to do that, and uh, you know,

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>we obviously we feel the urgency to make sure that

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>gets done sooner than later. All right, time to look ahead.

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Brought to you buy Bette Rivers, the official sports book

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>partner of the Chicago Bears. That the Pittsburgh Steelers the

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 1>first thing you think of when you think of the

0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Steel City, especially on the road. A rabbit fan base

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and a really tough minded football team with a tough

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>minded head coach. Yeah, that's exactly right. And they obviously

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>got a future Hall of Fame quarterback there. It's going

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to be a great challenge for us. Uh, you know,

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 1>they're they're a team, like you said, that kind of

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>knows how to win. You know that they've won a

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of games obviously in coach Tom's kirby, even throughout

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that organization. So, uh, you know, we got to make

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 1>sure that we're dot in our eyes and crossing our

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>teas and making sure that we're fundamental technically sound to

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and win a road game, a tough road

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>game in a tough place to play. Yeah, Coach Thomlin,

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, a similar path to years. You know, a

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 1>young coach worked his way up to become a head coach.

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Quite the career he's had there. Yeah, No, he's tremendous.

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of Uh, there's there's a couple of guys

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that you would say, as especially as a young coach,

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that you would kind of model your career off of,

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and he's one of them. He kind of knows how

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to win. He gets the best out of his players

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>every year, regardless of circumstances, situation, and they just played

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>consistently good football. So that's obviously a credit to him

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and the way he's helped continue to build that Steeler

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 1>tradition over there, there's our nugget for the Pittsburgh game.

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Nagy Harris, the rookie running back with two hundred ninety

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:40.640
<v Speaker 1>four yards and two touchdowns over the last three games.

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, so that's one place to start right there,

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 1>because he's been he's in the top fifteen in the

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 1>league in the yards from scrimmage right now. Yeah, for sure,

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 1>he's a dynamic running back and he can do some

0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>things out of the backfield in terms of the past

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>game as well. So we're gonna have our hands full there.

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>We got to make sure that we're really sound and

0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 1>physical and be able to uphold that brand for sixty

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>plus minutes in that game to stop him. And then

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the next factor is obviously the Ben factor, the big

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Ben factor, and so we need to make sure obviously

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that we're tighten our coverage responsibies and be able to

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 1>impact been as many ways as we can with rush

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>coverage in disguise. How do you feel his game is

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 1>changed now that he's on the tail end of what

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 1>has been a great career. What you still see is

0:32:19.600 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you still see the arm talent, you still see the physicalness.

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>He's not an easy tackle. He's never been an easy tackle.

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 1>He's a big, thick guy who can extend plays. The

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>more and more comfortable he gets with the skill guys

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 1>around him and all that you see the plays that

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 1>he's able to make. So we got to make sure

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 1>that we're prepared and playing at a high level. All right, Sean,

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:40.360
