I think the crowds are going to 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.000 be enormous and like Matt Maggie said at one hundred 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.360 year event, those crowds at training camp are hugely supportive 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.399 in the preparation that these guys go through in practices 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.280 and former Bears quarterback two thousand and one playoff quarterback 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.480 Jim Miller from Sirius xm NFL Radio and Bears preseason 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.480 television joining us as well. The Bears a topic this 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.800 week after the one hundred on Sirius x SIMS NFL Radio. Yeah, 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.080 quite a bit. Talk to Cody White here today. He 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.440 joined us on the Earth, So that was good to 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.840 check in with him, and just a lot of good things, 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.520 and you know, just reflecting on a hundred years and 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.880 the great players and just some of the things I 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:41.840 was reflecting on when I was down there talking to 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.959 you guys at the Bears one hundred celebrations. So it 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.480 was nice to be a part of that and catch 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.880 up with some familiar faces and obviously reconnect with older 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.040 Chicago Bears players that came before my time, and certainly 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.440 getting to know the new young players of this team. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.440 And I really like how they know, I can't say 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.880 it enough, just how they represent them selves, the maturity 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.400 they bring to the table, they seem like a focus group, 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.840 and as Tom said, even though there's gonna be a 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.800 lot of crowds there, it's time to focus on the 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.000 task at hand. They've got a great opportunity to do 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.120 some great things here in twenty nineteen, we'll see what happens. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.079 Coming up at Surround six o eight, we're gonna be 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.919 joined by the Pro Bowl the All Pro corner Kyle Fuller, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.600 who fashioned that brand new Bears jersey for twenty nineteen 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.160 for the games against the Vikings and Cowboys from nineteen 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.200 thirty six. Kyle Fuller looked sharp in that outfit. We'll 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.280 talk to him about all things football and his offseason 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.280 plan here in the next five weeks, along with his 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.320 golf game I'm sure as well. Maybe a little US 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.040 open talk with Kyle Fuller. And then coming up at 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.519 the bottom of the hour, one of our favorite guys, 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.040 Tom and I spent many many an hour on team 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.119 flights over the years with the two time Pro Bowl 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.600 safety and All Pro himself, Mike Brown, will join the 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.799 program as well. Fellas, take me to opening ceremonies and Jim, 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.120 when you were coming out on stage and getting introduced 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.079 with your guys and and who specifically did you want 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.720 to talk to you when you got in that blue 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.080 room with the with the old guys, whether it's people 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.760 you haven't met before or who you reconnected with, they're 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.640 really resonated with you. Well, it's really well here you 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.600 just mentioned Mike Brown. I didn't even see him, you know, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.440 when they put asked us to go over to our 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.040 groups of the two thousand players, and I didn't even 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.440 see Mike Brown. I hadn't seen him the entire night. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.600 And he kind of snuck up on me and said, hey, Jim, 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.640 how are we doing. You know, we we start talking 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.400 and you know, reconnecting and you know, sharing some stories 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.760 and just having some laughs and and things like that, 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:27.800 you know, and just to see him there. And there 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.880 were a ton of guys there. I mean, I don't 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.600 really think I got to work the whole room to 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.200 catch up with with everybody of all the generations of 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.760 Bears players that were there through the decades of the Bears. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.360 But yeah, you get excited, you reconnect, you know, Cassine 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.400 Casino talked to old tight end and reconnect with with 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.440 guys that uh, you know, you just you had a 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.120 lot of laughs with had a lot of fun with practicing, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.960 shared a lot of fun stories, and then of course 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.480 you get excited when your name's about. As you and Tom, 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.080 we're getting everybody excited, the fans excited when you announced 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.280 the names, and just to watch guys react when they 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.560 came out on the stage. Olwen Crew said, how about 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.040 everybody was baiting the guys. Tommy hears them to walk 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.840 up at the cat walk to do with the big circus. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.880 So I thought that was pretty funny and I think 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.840 Israel Ladanage had a little bit to do with that. Yeah, Tom, 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.200 what did it mean to you to be a part 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.000 of all that? You know, Jeff having a chance to 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.960 be you know, grow up in the area and understand 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.440 what the bears are all about, what they're built about. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.560 But then all the generations of players that we had 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.000 to broadcast for. But as you broadcast for them, you 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.440 really don't become friends with them because it's more on 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.960 a professional basis. But when you get to rekindle conversation 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.839 with Charles Tillman or Mike Brown and the whole you know, 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.880 groups of guys that we were able to broadcast for, 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.760 it's always great seeing Big Cat Williams and just what 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.880 a huge man he is. And then you go back 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.680 in the generations and you see how respected Doug Plank 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.159 is still by the fans and how the fans still 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.200 love him, and then have a chance to sit on 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.480 stage with a guy like Dick Buckus. It is amazing 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.120 because there's so many generations of players in there, and 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.479 that's really only talking about a few. However, all the 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.920 years of players that we got to broadcast, it was 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.279 neat finally getting a chance to go and talk to 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.240 them on a social basis more than professional herb Lawrence 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.920 Adam Sezinski helping us out for tonight's show. I hope 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:20.760 you're going to enjoy the next hour. We'll be with 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.599 you until seven o'clock tonight.

Kyle Fuller, the Bears All 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.600 Pro cornerback coming up next on Chicago Sports Radio six 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.600 seventy The Score.

The score good to really move 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.920 into a next phase now, because these guys really put 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.919 together some good tape during the course of the offseason. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.560 They developed more of a bond on both sides of 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.760 the ball. There's a lot of respect guys from the 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.880 defensive side of the ball about where the offense has 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.560 elevated itself here over the offseason. I think they're really 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.520 intrigued about what's going to be unveiled during training camp 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.840 and been I think they should be, Jeff, because it's 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.680 going to be interesting as much as they're trying to 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.159 learn a lot about their new defensive coordinator and some 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.560 new coaches over there. Talking about Chuck Pagano and how 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.960 he wants his system run and what he expects out 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.320 of them every day in terms of the effort that 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.560 he expects out of him in practice, I think Matt 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.640 has already set the base for that. However, when you 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.400 see an offense that gets a year smarter, they play faster, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.880 they do things more intelligently, and then they're able to 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.880 expand the playbook. And even Matt talked about the other 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.680 day at the hundred year celebration when they got to 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.240 finally do a final year review. He was impressed by 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.440 how much information they were about they were able to install. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.640 And so now we always talk about where referred to 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.080 it all off season level one o one is coming 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.240 to two o one, and I think two oh one 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.360 is going at a steeper angle than they were introduced 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.440 to one on one level. For that springing the Pro 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.960 Bowl Cornerback All Pro Kyle Footer a kind of enough 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.000 to join the program, Kyle, because evening Welcome to bear 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.520 Zall Access, you got Jeff Joni Act, Tom Fair, and 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.240 Jim Miller. Tom was just talking about where the offense 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.640 is going. I think Kim Hicks even mentioned it today 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.560 that he was pretty impressed by what he's seeing. You 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.840 guys are in different phases obviously in terms of where 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.240 you guys are in the scheme, But what has been 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.280 your impression of Mitch and the offense in general and 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.680 during this offseason program. Um, I think it's going well 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.840 for those guys going in to their second year. You know, 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.640 we definitely have the guys over there to do it, 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.680 and you know, I think as not only would the 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.400 guys they already have, but the new guys, you know, 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.280 just going on to a year or two, I think it. Well, Kyle, 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.080 you got five weeks off before you really good under way? 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.000 Is this the time that you set aside to improve 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.520 your golf game? And how much time? And you really 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.200 I mean, yeah, obviously have to dedicate time to staying 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.320 in shape, being in shape, but if you do play golf, 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.440 who's the best golfer out of all the Fuller brothers. Yeah, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.640 I'll do a little a little bit of both, um, 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.840 but I'm definitely a little bit further along and the 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.680 rest of the guys. I think I get a chance 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.960 to play a little bit more or choose too, so, 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.920 you know, but I enjoy it a lot. Well, I mean, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.000 how can you use well, you know, I certainly is 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.680 relaxing and you enjoy playing, but at the same point, 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.840 it's competitive, you know, there's no doubt, you know, golf 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.840 can challenge you in certain things, especially from the mental 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.679 aspect and how you attack a course. You know, how 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.720 do you view it? Is it more leisure for you 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.400 or is it pretty a competitive atmosphere when you go 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.560 out and hit for sure? Yeah, for sure, I definitely 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.160 love the competitiveness that comes with it, but also the challenge, 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.320 the challenge you get mentally. Um, you know, I think 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.600 that's what really gets me. You know one too, you know, 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.840 wake up and go golfing every day, you know, especially 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.520 when I can, like during off season, you know, after 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.360 I get my work work got in. But um, you know, 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.600 like you said, mentally, to challenge and then just even 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.720 physically and just how hard it is that that game 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.400 of golf is. Uh, you know, it keeps you coming back. Kyle, 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.480 Are you a driving range guy? Because to me, I 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.640 like to play golf. I like to get to the course, 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.840 warm up, stretch out, and go to the first team. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.959 Are you the type of guy that will be willing 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.160 to go, you know, on the golf I'm on the 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.560 driving range and sit there and concentrate on your different 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.320 clubs and your swing for a while. So the part 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.600 of me that wants to the part of me that 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.920 wants to be as good as I can be, will 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.720 go to the range. But you know, if it's my choice, 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.520 I'd rather go play, you know, give my practice plan, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.880 you know, get my revs plan, and uh, you know, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.520 enjoy it that way.

You 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.480 know I can say, because he definitely has the book. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.560 But um, you know I have got a chance to 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.640 play with him. Um, you know it's kind of cool, 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.400 you know, him just just starting, you know, I remember, 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.559 I remember, you know, when I was in his positions. 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.439 But um, and I have been watching the US Open. Uh. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:25.760 I actually got a chance to watch it today. I 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.840 didn't play, which which is surprising. I get a chance 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.920 to play a lot this weekend. So um, so I 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.160 did get a chance to watch it, and uh, you 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.160 know I enjoy I enjoy watching it a lot. Everything 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.560 about golf. I love Kyle being being a compact guy. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.079 I think it's you know, hand eye coordination, you're a 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.920 little bit closer to the golf ball. But excuse me, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.200 when I got I had a chance to see Bradley 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.960 saw play golf. He's a big guy. He's making the 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.160 transition from tackle to tight end, but he's got really 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.400 very good hand eye coordination and he's got a good 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.280 golf swing. Does it surprise you sometimes when you see 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.080 these big guys that are are so coordinating in such 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:10.200 a difficult game. I think I've been a little lucky, 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.280 you know, having been around Bradley and you know, seeing 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.240 type of athlete years in golf, so it kind of 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.280 you know, when I see other people, doesn't surprise me 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.079 because he just sets stand the standards so high for 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.040 those guys, you know, to where I believe that it's 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.040 possible for him. But um, you know, yeah, like Brody 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.920 has a great swing, he's very athletic. Um you know 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.120 you mentioned the position changed the tight end. You know, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.920 just knowing that, you know, that's that's that's that's what 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.960 makes you you know, I think that he'll actually, you know, 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.480 do pretty well at that. And you know, I'm looking 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.679 forward to it. Well, Kyle, just from the competitive aspect 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.280 of football, and Tom's talked about it. In the eighty 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.680 five Bears, they would go against the number one defense, 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.800 you know, whether it's OTAs and things like that or 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.720 through the training camp. And I brought it up too. 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.440 We used to do that in Pittsburgh when the Blitzburgh defense, 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.800 we you know, in order just to challenge ourselves to 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.360 get better. And here you're talking about the Bears offense 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.720 going on on year to it and did not that 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.200 it's you know, it's anything adversarial, but it's intense. It's 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:12.160 it's it's healthy competition when ones go against ones in practice, 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:13.560 and I'd like to get a feel for you for 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.400 how competitive it was this year this offseason when would 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.840 go at once, it's very competitive. And you know, surprisingly, 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.240 I think a lot of it starts with coach Nag 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.320 He's just as competitive. I know, it's the guy. I know, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.720 it's the players aren't there competing against each other, but 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.040 ultimately it's those it's the coordinators, you know, calling plays 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.960 against each other. And uh, you know, I feel like 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.240 you know the way I look at it, you know, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.080 our our defense is it is really you know, competing 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.400 against a competing with coach Nagy as well, and um, 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.960 you know he enjoys it. He gets into it. You know, 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.839 he wants he wants his guys to do well, so 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.880 he doesn't really he doesn't really like when when Womenking 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.880 plays on him, but he understands, you know, it's all 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.520 fun and uh like like you said, a good a 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.280 good competition, Kyle. Full of our guests here on Chicago 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.760 Sports Radio six seventy eight score. This is Bears All 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.760 Access with the indil seven o'clock tonight. How is it 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.280 they're gone in terms of the transition into a veteran 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:08.360 like haha, Clinton Dix and also Buster Screen, not to 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.920 mention some of your rookie defensive backs back they're like 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.120 Duke Shelley. Yeah, it's all good. It's it's good to 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.360 get those those you know, a couple of veteran guys 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.000 you know, just add to the puzzle. Um, you know, 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.520 with the knowledge that they had, um you know, from 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.280 from playing for so long. Um. And I feel like 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.240 those guys fit in well with our group. You know, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.160 not only know the guys, but also the young guys, 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.520 you know, getting to teach us you know, everybody can 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.719 learn something from someone, so, um, you know, I think 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.240 it's definitely been to two good editions and uh, we're 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.000 looking forward to, you know, moving on the training camp. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:44.199 And then, Kyle, did you learn anything new about Chuck 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.000 Pagano throughout this whole process of the OTAs in the 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.079 mini camp and as us as Bears fans, we really 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.720 haven't been you know, haven't been introduced to him in 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.880 a regular season podium yet. So what what type of 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:02.720 guy do we as fans expect out of coach Bagano? Um, 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.280 I will say, I'm sure that'll be it'll be perfect 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.680 comment for when you all really do get introduced to him. Um, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.840 but I think I think, uh, you know, we have, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.840 we have learned a lot, you know, just which as 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.560 you would expect working with a working with him every day. UM, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.840 you know, I think I prefer you know, you all 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.520 to get you alls, you all the introduction to him. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.640 But I would just say, you know, he's a great guy. Uh, 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.760 And you know, I think I think that's that's that's 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.080 really that's really a that covers everything about him. And 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.480 then I think you all realize that way, Yeah, you 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.360 all get a chance to meet him, Well, you know, 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.480 not to give anything away, cow, but you know, just 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.040 to get a feel for how how you know. I'm 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.000 sure he's explained you guys, Hey, this is what I 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.080 believe in, maybe principle wise or scheme wise and in 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.280 certain situations. Do you think you've gotten a good feel 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.880 in terms of the line of communication and how how 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.800 you expect him to call a game without giving anything 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.400 away with I think we have a I think we 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.840 do have a good understanding. Like I said, I don't 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.200 think I don't think too much has changed from last year, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.640 you know, which I think is good for our team. 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.240 Like I said, we've we've had a couple of new additions, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.720 both on off inside any side, um you know. So 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.440 you know, I think we'll still have that same identity. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.400 Um you know, I think that's what everybody on everybody, 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.560 from everybody on the team once, from from top to bottom. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.560 All right, Kyle, we're gonna let you go. We really 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.840 appreciate taking a few minutes to wrap up what has 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.200 been a heck of an offseason. A real good feel 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:31.880 about this team and where it's headed, and we're looking 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.920 forward to seeing you in Burbenaks. Right. Thank you have 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.840 a great great five weeks.

Let's start with 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:15.680 Mark and Michigan City, Indiana Welcome and it Bears All Access. Mark, Hey, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.960 how are you doing? Jeff and Jim and Tom Good 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.080 to chime in with you again. I am totally baffled 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.560 by the Bears kicking situation. They have three guys that 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.479 can't constantly kick a forty two yard or in practice. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.160 It seems to me every Division one college kicker could 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.040 walk on as a free agent. And boom nine out 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.280 of ten from forty two yards. That's an average chip shot. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.720 I know, you know it's NFL football length. You know, 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.160 you're not talking length to you get past fifty two 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.520 yards and you're just and when talking about just practicing, 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:54.760 it seems totally mind boggling to me why they don't 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.600 got guys who can knock nineteen out of twenty from 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.240 forty two on a constant basis, even a walk on 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.880 free agent. Don't be too baffled, because there's a lot 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.920 harder when you get to this level. The pressure and 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.480 the mindset and all that, and the way they are 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.080 positioning this, they're they're making it quite challenging for now. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.960 Just the two guys left and Elliott Fry and Eddie Pineto. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.119 So I would love to see that happen that way, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.320 but it does not happen that way throughout the league. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:26.280 And these guys take time. These young kickers take time. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.280 That's why they bounce around, right, boys. Yeah, but you 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.280 know that you've got to think about the conditions that 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.640 you're kicking. In Chicago. You can take some of these 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.760 excuse me, these college guys, these college free agents, whether 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.960 you draft them later or they are free agents, and 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.040 they can come out of the sec or they can 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.000 come out of these perfect kicking conditions of indoor stadiums 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:44.800 and then all of a sudden, you throw them out 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:50.520 there in Chicago in October, rainy night when they're retiring 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.840 the jerseys of Buckis and Gale says, and it's a 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.040 trerenial downpour in the field. Conditions are awful, or if 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.359 you're fortunate enough to make it them, the playoffs and 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.600 the conditions are on addictable. So it's it's a lot 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.520 easier to judge these guys when you're you're taking them 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.520 on the combine situation because you're kicking indoors in Indianapolis. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.320 But now put their team behind them. And this has 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:17.119 probably been the most difficult kicking outdoor spring that the 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.520 Bears kickers have gone through in a long long time 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.359 because the wind and the conditions have been so horrific 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.919 out there. Yeah, it's a lot of rain, and you 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:26.919 know we've seen, yeah, you've seen a lot of kickers. 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.280 It's not just the young rookies you know here. You know, 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.280 look at Minnesota a couple of years ago they drafted 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.840 Blair Walsh. He misses that key playoff kick against Seattle, 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.160 and all of a sudden he shipped out of town. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.080 Because it just sometimes it's just one thing that Jeff 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.639 talked about that they can mentally take a turn. Remember 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.359 when Chris Boonio was with us with the Bears and 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.360 we could we could even kick field goals at practice. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.400 It was so demoralizing. It was almost like what happened 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.480 with a Roberto Aguayo with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I mean, 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.239 it was hurting in our practice. Dick Urn literally he 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.159 missed everyone. We had to call practice, just send it 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.280 in and not even do special teams anymore. And let 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.040 me ask you about that real quick though, because you 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.840 know Matteggie, he alluded to such a thing that, yeah, 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.760
