Hope you've enjoyed them that 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.479 Super Bowl winning Bear Tim There, I'm Jeff Joniak, the 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.519 voice of the Bears. We preview the Week four matchup 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.400 with the visiting Denver Broncos. It's a lot of conversation 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:48.120 about oh and three teams. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.520 Tom. I took the time on. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.360 On Tuesday to spend almost the entire day listening to 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.360 Denver Sports Talk radio online, and we heard from Mark Schleret, 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.880 we heard from Terrell Davis, We've heard from a lot 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:05.600 of ex Broncos. Brandon Stokely, I mean the fervor and 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:10.200 the anger about a seventy to twenty loss, fifty point 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.240 loss is crazy. I mean, they want to wipe out 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.119 everything over there. It's a raw reaction to a monumental score. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.040 Well, you know, then, Jeff, in the history of the 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.280 Chicago Bears since nineteen twenty, it's probably the biggest slap 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.760 in the face that we've ever faced as an organization. 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.280 Because when you talk about a team that just lost 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.120 by fifty and got seventy points scored on them, and 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.160 they're three and a half point underdogs at home, what 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.039 kind of lack of respect is that? So I'm sure 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.520 if you turned down the radio waves and all the 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.200 podcasts and all the listenable alumni that you could hear 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.200 from the Chicago Bears, they would be equally as disappointed. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.080 Me'm I just I can't believe that they're underdogs at home. 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.960 And if there was any message that any coach ever 0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.160 had hanging in a facility that only the players could see, 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.559 I would have three point five underdogs at home. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.400 That's all I would have. And that's that you would 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:07.920 not have to say anything else. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.320 Do you recall ever in that situation in your playing 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:16.440 career when you guys were underdogs at home and you 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.040 just felt, ah, that doesn't that doesn't feel right. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.040 No, I don't remember, but Jeff, these are such. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:29.080 Exclusive type of circumstances that I can't ever recall, you know, 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.120 going through something like this. You know, just back in 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.480 my college days, I was part of the first losing 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.160 season in eighteen years, and that was something that you 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.200 never thought you'd go through at No Dame. You know, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.040 you went to No Name thing, But wow, one out 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.639 of four years, I could possibly be fighting for a 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.280 national championship. But then you go and you know, Jerry 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.000 Fausk gets hired, We win our first game against LSU, 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.280 they put us at number one, and we go. 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.280 Downhill from there. 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.280 So yeah, in a football career, something like this is 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.320 going to present us. But under these circumstances, when you 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.200 have the analytics, you have the numbers, you have the 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.000 modern day of social media never seen anything like him. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.280 Injury news from Hallis on Wednesday, Josh Blackwell and Jalen 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.280 Johnson both dealing with some issues, so no practice for them. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:20.160 Tyreek Stevenson he did practice despite being under the weather, 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.600 so he's okay. Saw I'm him in the locker room. 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.600 And they signed a veteran defensive back, Joe Wan Williams 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.359 former second round pick Tom of New England, big guy 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.360 six four to two twelve at Vanderbilt, he played a 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.360 bunch of games. The Patriots thought so much of him 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.760 back in nineteen they moved up eleven spots to get 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.960 him in round two. But he was a rotational player. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.480 But talk about a size athleticism combo with his size, 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.960 forty four career tackles, eight pass breakups, his shoulder injury 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.280 last year. He was in position to kind of make 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.600 that Vikings team this year, but they went with younger players. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:53.640 So he's here with the Bears. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.520 Now. Yeah, you know, uniquely enough. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.720 I think when you put together the flow charts of 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.839 the teams we faced, it seems like these six two 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.200 to six three defensive backs are popping up more than 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.160 we've seen in the past. I remember guys in my 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.720 ear of that being bigger at the safety position. But 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.360 now you see corner safeties that you know they're popping 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:15.840 up with that size. 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.240 And that's the unique quality. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.120 To have that athleticism ad athleticism at that size. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.919 Right, Well, well you're going up a guy at like 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.479 six ' four. Claypool and other big receivers, Mike Evans 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:25.920 and the league can go down the list, But now 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.200 there's I just saw this tweet earlier today. I was 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.120 going to write it down if I didn't really pertain 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.560 to the Bears game. But all these diminutive one sixty 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.960 five one seventy pounds receivers that are tearing it up 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.880 as well, all across the league, either be rookies or veterans, 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.640 and they're popping up and go throw back to the 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.080 old Miami Dolphins receivers for Danno. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.640 Right, yeah, you know you look at the two little what, 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.919 Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, You know that those types of receivers. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.680 But if you have a talented quarterback, I don't think 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.160 it really matters what size you are, because you go 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.279 back and look at a couple of guys that Tom 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.360 Brady cultivated throughout his career at in the New England. 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.160 They're not big guys, they're not fast guys, but they 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.320 catch the ball well and they're anticipated receivers by the quarterback, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.120 and you know he can develop those types of guys. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.360 Brought you by Miller Life, the official beer of the 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.200 Chicago Bears, tastes like Miller Time Chicago. All right, let's 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.359 touch on it because we're going to be previewing this 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.120 matchup against Denver, and one of the key weapons right 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.960 now is Marvin Mims. He's six ' four, he can 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.400 run routes, he is a game breaker, he is four 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.039 to three speed, and he is your punt returner and 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.760 kick roff returner. And he's had a forty four yard 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:45.240 punt return and a ninety nine yard touchdown as well, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.200 so he has done a lot of things well. And 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.960 now even though he's a rookie, Marvin Mims is asking 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.520 for more targets. He's a playmaker, and we're all looking 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.600 for playmakers in this league. Somebody to watch for the 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.039 Bears this week, Well, I. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.640 Think he's average in like seventeen to nine a catch, 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.560 but he only has he has less than ten catches. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.960 But you go and you look at Cortland Sutton. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.400 I think he's got seventeen catches and he's averaging about 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.640 eleven yards per catch. 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.360 So they have two receivers that they can go to. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.920 But who do you cover. Do you cover a tall, 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.760 lanky guy like Sutton or do you call catch or 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.560 cover a rookie like Mim. So I think the Bears 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.080 are going to have their hands full. But you know, Jeff, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.560 after watching a lot of tape of both Denver and 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.320 the Bears, I could do this home game preview and 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.080 never talk about a playmaker. I could talk about the 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:44.120 offensive defensive lines from both teams exclusively, Because as much 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.359 as we want to talk about those guys and the 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.960 new guys on the spot and the tall guys like Sutton, 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.279 or the playmakers they have with the Bears, this is 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.960 about the offense and defensive lines. That's what this game 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.400 is going to come down to. Know, That's I don't 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:02.480 think we can ignore that. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.479 So let's take it one each year. Let's put the 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.960 offensive line of the Bears, likely to have Larry Bourn 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.880 back at the left tackle, the likely return of a 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.360 right guard Nate Davis on the field against a defensive 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.600 line in Denver that was part of a defense that 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.000 gave up seventy points. 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.200 Well, you know what, Jeff is You know we've heard, we've. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:28.360 Heard the word fundamentals in techniques, details to job and 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.120 that comes out of the matter of the mouth of 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.320 Matt Eberflus. When I go look at the defensive line 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:37.040 of the Denver Broncos, they don't disengage from blocks very well. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.160 If they get angle blocked, they go along with it. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.040 They kind of get fooled a little bit by super 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.640 aggressive play action passing. So I think when you look 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.560 at a defensive line and you think about, oh my god, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.520 we got to find out where Chris Jones is, you 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.640 got to identify everything that you know goes against great. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.640 Oh we need what Vida Vey is going to do. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.560 We got to find out where he's going to be 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.680 and what's going to happen. Oh need Frank Clark one, 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:02.160 where's it. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.360 Going to be? That guy doesn't stand out to me? 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:05.760 And for Denver? 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.000 And what about Randy Gregory? 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.560 You know what, I don't think he is the marquee 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.920 name of the guys that I just mentioned. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.280 I think that if you go and you. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.560 Have a solid, aggressive point of attack, double team in 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.640 your face running game, he's the type of guy that 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.960 you can wear down if you get those thirty five 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.520 to forty carries in a game. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.560 So the other guys. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.280 That I mentioned at this stage of my life, I 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.640 have an uber mounter respect for and I would have 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.120 to identify them where they are. So I was just 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.720 not impressed with the Denver defensive line. And I hope 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.160 I'm not biting my tongue. Come next week when we're 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.880 talking about, you know, the game. 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.520 You look at every defensive category for both teams, many 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.920 thirty two and thirty one rankings. Denver's the bottom of 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.520 the barrel in yards allowed, bottom of the barrel in 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.760 rushing yards, thirty first in rushing yard average. This would 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.320 be an invitation Tom to run the ball against the 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:02.760 Denver Broncos in my opinion. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.440 You know, Jeff is a two edged sword here. You know, 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.320 it's an invitation for the Bears offense to get back 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.240 on track, take a little bit of pressure off of 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.960 Justin fields, possibly open up some opportunities for the running game. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.640 But you got to impress the crowd early, Jeff. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.679 And if you can go and have impressive drives the 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.120 first couple offensive drives of the game and you get 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.199 that crowd noise on your side, they will stick with you. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.800 But if you have a tendency to try to be 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.360 flashy because of what Miami did early in their game, 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.440 and all of a sudden you go with three and 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.000 out or you don't have a lot of offensive success, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.360 this crowd is not going to be kind. And so 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.880 I think when you're going to ask this team. You're 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.840 going to go back in that locker room as a 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.760 head coach and you're going to look at the eyes 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.560 of the five guys that are offensive lineman and you're 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.680 going to say, guys, if we win this game, it's 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:55.920 going to be because of you. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.720 If we lose this game, it's going to be because 0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.000 of you. 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.240 And you have to put that type of pressure on 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.280 this group of guys that are thick skinned and they 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.600 can take that in front of their other teammates. 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.240 Good new Chicago United Airlines is getting brand new planes 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.240 with all the bells and whistles, like Bluetooth connectivity screens 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.760 at every seat and room for everyone's Rollderbag United Brown 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.760 to Fly the Chicago Bears and you two This is 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.400 the Bears, Etc. Podcast Tom there, Jeff Jonia. All right, 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.840 let's flip it now. The Bears defensive line against the 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.000 Broncos offensive line. They got a quarterback that's still rated 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.000 in the top ten top eight in the NFL right now, 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.959 and Russell Wilson a savvy veteran. He can get out 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.000 of trouble. He could also stand in the pocket there 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.720 and get walloped as well. So if they don't run 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.719 the ball as well, and this team can tee off 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.360 and start making them one dimensional. What kind of advantage 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.120 do you give the Bears defensive line, all of being said, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.680 just one sack so far this year. 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:53.280 To me, it's the defensive line plus the linebackers, because 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.720 I think the Bears linebackers can flow well to the 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.960 point of attack if they get protected by the defensive linemen. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.120 So what they're going to have to do is they're 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.840 going to have to be able to react on the 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.480 football because hopefully they get an active crowd there that's 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.720 making enough noise that Russell Wilson is going to have 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.640 to go to a silent count. And if they can 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.880 just pay attention through their periphial vision, they have explosion 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.360 off of the snap of the ball and take up 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:24.720 multiple offensive linemen and let TJ. And Jack Sanborn in 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.319 Tremaine Edmonds, if they let them flow to the point 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.480 of attack, they can slower stop this running game and 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.480 then put more pressure on Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson's not 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.760 the same guy that came here with the Seattle Seahawks 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.240 ten or twelve years ago. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:40.920 In playing the playoffs. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.120 This is a guy that still has talent, still has armstrength. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.040 He's accurate, he's an intelligent guy, but he just doesn't 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.800 have the escapability that he did at one time. And 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.199 if you can keep him in the pocket, make him 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.520 be small with the defensive lineman penetration, hands up, maybe 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.840 they can block four or fives in the game. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.120 All Right, he's without his top tight end, Greg dosiic 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.640 He is on the injured reserve list, So Adam Troutman 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.360 a tight end. They got a blocking tight end, and 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.600 Chris Manhertz the offensive line. They did bring in Ben 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.200 Powers from Baltimore to play guard. You're looking at Quinn Miners. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.280 You gotta love Quinn from Wisconsin Whitewater. He was the 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.000 hit of the Combine a couple of years ago. That 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.160 guy plays nasties. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.040 He plays nasties, he does. 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.600 I liked him at the combine. You pointed him out 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.280 to me, started paying attention to him. He became a 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.960 starter out there, and you know he is kind of 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.960 their blue collar, tough guy on the inside. You know, 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.960 Garrett Bowles may want to act like it, but Quinn 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.840 Minor is a guys. From the moment he stepped into 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.320 an NFL full padded training camp, he took charge of 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.600 his position, he earned it and he's been able to 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:46.880 hold it down since then. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.200 And the new right tackle this year, Mike mclinchey started 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:53.160 his career obviously from Notre Dame to the forty nine 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.920 ers and now to the Denver Broncos. Good run blocking 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.760 offensive tackle. Take a chance download the Bette Rivers app today. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.320 All right, as you put that tape on, did you 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.280 watch the tape as if you were Sean Payton or 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.240 did you watch the tape as Tom there of the 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.720 of the game? Did you did you watch the defense 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.720 of his entirety against Miami? Because I had a hard 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.120 time watching it and not cringing like it was something 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:21.240 that speed in Miami is insane. However, the tackling and 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.880 the angles, the speed do that to you that badly 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.320 that you don't take the right angle. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.920 So what a guy like Tarik Hill, there's not a 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.640 lot of guys in the NFL that are going to 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.200 go step for step with him. If you put the 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.280 ball to him in space, he's gonna make you look 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.120 as bad as he did the other day. However, to me, 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.760 I was more caught off guard by what you're talking about. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:48.120 Lack of angles, lack of proper fundament, fundamental fundamental desire 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.440 to tackle in the running game and as much as 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.760 Miami can threaten you by throwing the ball, what were 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.680 they averaging seven point one yard per carrier something like that. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.880 And I mean, and they basically averaged ten yards of play? 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.199 Right again, is that's unheard of? But it is. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:10.520 It's the fundamental front seven of the defense that I 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.199 don't know if they were flat, if it was super hot, 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.920 if they just weren't into it, or if they never 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.120 felt like they could they were in control of the game, 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.400 but you know, and that's the thing about it. Yeah, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.200 it was not an impressive performance to me. However, I 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.560 don't again, I don't want to go back and as 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.840 we're doing the podcast early next week saying, oh my gosh, Jeff, 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.440 I was totally wrong. And they did a nice job 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.200 of getting these guys fired up to rebound after that 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.560 seventy point performance. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.000 I am expecting that. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.960 I'm expecting Sean Payton and his coaching staff to get 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.120 the most out of his guys, whether they're up to 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.800 the task and taking on a Bear's team on the road, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.560 and the same with the Bears. So I expect to tight. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.840 I expect a game here. I don't expect some walk 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.000 in the park for either team. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.119 Oh man, listen, I'm gonna get to the stadium early. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:01.760 Because it's going to be a beautiful day. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.440 And since the game in Kansas City got over and 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.440 then we became aware of the score of the Dolphins game, 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.760 it's almost something that you know you look forward to 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.320 just because you're crazy. And I'm thinking, oh my god, 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.120 if I was if I was the Denver coaching staff, 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.160 how would I handle it? If I was the Bears 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.000 coaching staff, what would I do? And then when I 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.920 found out the Bears were underdogs by two points, and 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.400 then I looked at it the next day and then 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.320 it went to three and a half, I was going, Okay, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.200 you don't have to say another word to me. All 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.080 I'm going to do is I'm going to put that 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.960 up on the boards and I'm going to have every 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.240 single player say and see it every single time that 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.920 they're on their feet inside the facility. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.120 And if you don't become offended. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.160 By that as the Chicago Bear, then you'll never be 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.240 offended as a professional athlete. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.560 Right now, when you spend over twenty nine ninety nine 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.400 at Steinhoffels.

No, you want me to get you one? 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.040 You know, I think I think before before either one 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.800 of us retires, I think you need a Joniac jersey 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:53.440 and I need. 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:54.120 A their jersey. 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:59.120 What number are you going to be one. No, you 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.680 got ever, You're gonna be number zero, my. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.840 Favorite number, my number throughout my baseball playing days with 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.720 number two, So maybe we'll have to go number two. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.600 You're always number one, Tom. Let's just face it. You're 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.600 You're the You're the you are the offensive lineman of 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.480 our booth.

I still had that jersey. I still you were. 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:16.440 I felt like I was walking into an actual George Costanza, 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.280 because there's a couple episodes. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.800 Where he's at a big meeting room like. 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.880 That doing different silly stuff. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.000 And there you are. 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.720 Isn't it great? We can self deprecate after all these years? 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.200 Yeah, well you think what was that twenty seven, twenty 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:34.000 eight years ago? 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:35.480 Twenty Yeah? 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.160 Yeah, you know you were like four, I mean, unbelievable, 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:39.840 and you were sick? 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.480 Whose number?

Anyway, the matter at hand, 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.760 as we are brought to you by PNC Official Bank 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.720 of the Bears, now an area we have not discussed 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.879 because it is probably one of the strengths of that 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.320 right now thirty second ranked defense. But Patrick Certen the 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.720 second is an outstanding all pro corner. He's legit justin 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.760
