Speaker 1: The Bears Coaches Show is brought to you by Whippley's
Speaker 1: CPAs and Consultants Advocate Healthcare, Rison and Miller Life. Now
Speaker 1: from Hellas Hall. Here is the Voice of the Bears
Speaker 1: w BBMS Jeff Joni Yak. Pleasant, good evening everybody, and
Speaker 1: welcome into the Bears Coaches Show featuring Head Coach Matt
Speaker 1: and Maggie. Jeff joni Ac Wrapping things up in London
Speaker 1: as the Bears fall to the Oakland Raiders, a home
Speaker 1: game of the Raiders. It was weird, Matt seeing all
Speaker 1: the color schemes because it was such a combined effort, obviously,
Speaker 1: but it was a Raiders home game. Now, it didn't
Speaker 1: sound like a Raiders home game. What was your perspective
Speaker 1: of the Bears contingent they made their way down here, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really it was. It was cool to see
Speaker 1: all the fans. You could hear them from the start,
Speaker 1: you know, first of all Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. There is
Speaker 1: is a really really special stadium and they do it
Speaker 1: the right way. Um. You could just feel the energy
Speaker 1: and the vibe at the start of the game and
Speaker 1: and so, um, you know, we appreciate all the fans
Speaker 1: that that came out and supported us. With all the
Speaker 1: Bears jerseys, you could certainly see there was there was
Speaker 1: a lot of Bears fans in that stadium. We are
Speaker 1: brought to you by Whipley CPAs and Consultant Site. Let's
Speaker 1: start breaking down the game. Let's start on the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. And you stayed up all night
Speaker 1: to watch the tape. So what'd you find out? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's uh, it's one of those deals where
Speaker 1: we talked about you need to be able to uh
Speaker 1: to start and make statement plays from play number one.
Speaker 1: And you know, we ended up having sixteen plays in
Speaker 1: the in the first half and and uh, um, when
Speaker 1: you do that, you're not you're not getting first downs.
Speaker 1: You know. The first drive we put together some nice
Speaker 1: plays and then we had back to back penalties which
Speaker 1: set us into us a second and twenty five and
Speaker 1: a third and twenty and um, those are those are
Speaker 1: hard to make. Up. So just to start the game
Speaker 1: there with two penalties after moving the ball to midfield
Speaker 1: after a few first downs. Um, we did flip the field,
Speaker 1: but we'd like to get points there. And then yet
Speaker 1: the next couple of possessions there in the first half,
Speaker 1: we had some three and outs and we had we
Speaker 1: had the interception as well. So, uh, you get to
Speaker 1: the third quarter and um, are we we fed off
Speaker 1: of that the turnover that they had. We were more
Speaker 1: aggressive in the past game and made some things happen,
Speaker 1: and Alan Robinson and those wide receivers really stepped up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they really. I mean Chase put balls in play for
Speaker 1: them to go and make a play. And you know
Speaker 1: that's also responsibility obviously of a receiver sometimes to to
Speaker 1: go and make the play that's offered you. Uh. And
Speaker 1: that happened quite a bit in the game and inspire.
Speaker 1: It was inspiring point of the game. I thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: things are things are looking good here. Um. So from
Speaker 1: that point of view, do you like the way the
Speaker 1: receivers played, I think Chase Daniel Yeah, no, they played
Speaker 1: really well and Chase, Chase gave them opportunities. And that's
Speaker 1: what this is all about, is letting your your playmakers
Speaker 1: make plays, and they did that yesterday. Um there's a
Speaker 1: few plays that we all want back. I know, you know,
Speaker 1: just talking to Chase yesterday. Um, there there's there's a
Speaker 1: couple that just stick out right away with him and
Speaker 1: he understands that and we all understand that. And then
Speaker 1: you know, of course, uh uh you know it all
Speaker 1: it does really all start up front. It starts up
Speaker 1: front with those other line and D line and UM
Speaker 1: players and the run game. We got to improve the
Speaker 1: throws that were intercepted. He takes responsibility for the last
Speaker 1: one in particular that you wish he had that one back.
Speaker 1: Obviously could have put us in a position to get
Speaker 1: a field goal at a minimum. Um. But when it's
Speaker 1: when it's so blatantly an interception, there's always a story
Speaker 1: though behind it. It's not just he sees somebody and
Speaker 1: he throws a right to him. And those two interceptions,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you think he was seeing? Well,
Speaker 1: the first one, uh, he lost vision of the of
Speaker 1: the the middle linebacker and he couldn't couldn't see him
Speaker 1: through the through some of the linemen and so obviously
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have thrown the football if he saw him
Speaker 1: on the first one and then the last one there
Speaker 1: at the end. You know, it's just one of those
Speaker 1: deals where he lost vision of the defensive back dropping back,
Speaker 1: he looked like he was playing his man on the outside,
Speaker 1: and then he fell off of it and felt to throw.
Speaker 1: So it really looked like, you know, throwing into double
Speaker 1: coverage with no one there. So that's a part of this.
Speaker 1: It's it's I know, Chase is more frustrated than anybody
Speaker 1: right now that it came down to that because we
Speaker 1: were in a position there all that said, how we
Speaker 1: played to either tie it up or going for the win.
Speaker 1: So we gotta again, like always, we used this adversity
Speaker 1: to make us stronger. And the run game, as obviously,
Speaker 1: was your hot button yesterday. You've brought it up many times.
Speaker 1: You were not happy about it when you don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps, though, at the same time, how
Speaker 1: do you get it started. I mean, when you're just
Speaker 1: if you fail on a couple of drives and then
Speaker 1: you don't get the snaps because they're on in the clock.
Speaker 1: Is that part of the issue for yesterday? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say yesterday was really a a snapshot of
Speaker 1: you know, just uh, us not getting going with the
Speaker 1: run game and struggling there with a combination of them
Speaker 1: dominating the run game, you know, and so the time
Speaker 1: of possession and they were stubborn with it and they
Speaker 1: were having success with it. You know, they were you know,
Speaker 1: three four or five six seven yards per pop uh
Speaker 1: and we were zero one two, zero one two, you know,
Speaker 1: one of those. So uh, it's just it's uh, it's
Speaker 1: about rhythm. It always has been for us. And in
Speaker 1: this game, you gotta be able to run the ball,
Speaker 1: uh at least to start and and try to get
Speaker 1: that thing going and not be one dimensional. And they
Speaker 1: did that yesterday and we didn't. Matt Nagi is here
Speaker 1: on the Bears Coaches Show from London, brought to you
Speaker 1: by Whippley CPAs and Consultants. As you look at what
Speaker 1: you need to try and do to spark the running game. Um,
Speaker 1: is this one of the bigger challenges that you've had? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll be well, yeah, and that's that's that's why why
Speaker 1: I'm here, you know, that's why we're here is to
Speaker 1: figure it out. It's not to uh, you know, complain
Speaker 1: and moan. It's not about complaints. It's about answers and
Speaker 1: until we get this thing solved, you know, we got
Speaker 1: to figure out the why parts. So the buy does
Speaker 1: come at a time now where we can put you know,
Speaker 1: we can step away for a little bit and dig
Speaker 1: into that tape and self scout ourselves and see what
Speaker 1: it's all about and not be looking at other opponents.
Speaker 1: But let's just look at us, and let's try to
Speaker 1: figure out how we stay positive and how we get answers.
Speaker 1: And I have no doubt that what the coaches and
Speaker 1: players that we have will do that. For those who
Speaker 1: are into the xs and o's of the game, you're
Speaker 1: not going to reveal scheme and so forth. But has
Speaker 1: there been an adjustment in how you guys have attacked
Speaker 1: the run this year versus now zero? This comes down
Speaker 1: to Jeff ru I mean, it's an it. This game's
Speaker 1: about winning your one on one battle. You know, I
Speaker 1: hate making it harder than that. It really is real.
Speaker 1: It's really simple when you're one on one battle. If
Speaker 1: you do that, you'll win a lot of football games.
Speaker 1: Matt in terms of the performance of guys like Anthony
Speaker 1: MILLERK got more involved Chase Feld. He had a good
Speaker 1: connection with him, a growing connection with them. What'd you
Speaker 1: see from seventeen? Same thing. He brought energy. You know. Uh,
Speaker 1: when you have that, you get guys. And when you
Speaker 1: have energy and you have guys that compete, um, you
Speaker 1: have playmakers. And you saw that yesterday. Put a chase,
Speaker 1: put a throw up to him where he was covered
Speaker 1: and he went up and that was winning a one
Speaker 1: on one battle. He made a play and when you
Speaker 1: do that, good things happen. And then the performance of
Speaker 1: JP Holts on that one catch. I mean he looked
Speaker 1: like a fullback running straight up vertical sixteen yards. That
Speaker 1: was an impressive play by him. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: nice little gap screen that that that the guy's executed
Speaker 1: really well. Um. And you know when he packs a
Speaker 1: punch now after he catches that ball and he looks,
Speaker 1: lowers that shoulder, Yeah, and he makes you lunch. You're
Speaker 1: gonna hurt a little bit when you tackle him. So
Speaker 1: that that's that's stuff we like. You'd like to have
Speaker 1: more of those, but we like what he's been doing.
Speaker 1: The last couple of weeks. The Bears Coaches Show with
Speaker 1: head coach Matt Maggie and w bbm' Jeff Joni Act
Speaker 1: continues joined the season ticket priority list for the future.
Speaker 1: Opportunity to become a season ticket older visit Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: dot com slash tickets to join. Now there's a coach
Speaker 1: mat Maggie with check Briganto coming up shortly as the
Speaker 1: Bears pack up and leave London. Overall, the experience obviously
Speaker 1: soured by the loss. So it's always hard after you
Speaker 1: go on a trip like this because it has a
Speaker 1: playoff field as almost a super Bowl feel to it.
Speaker 1: And but what were your takeaways from the whole experience. Well,
Speaker 1: it happens quick and it's not a you know, this
Speaker 1: was simply put for us. We had one mission to
Speaker 1: come over here and win. We didn't accomplish that mission,
Speaker 1: so you have to regroup. Now there's I just I appreciate,
Speaker 1: regardless of the outcome, I appreciate the help of all
Speaker 1: of our departments within the organization to make things go
Speaker 1: as smoothly as possible, all things considered. You know, everyone
Speaker 1: goes back and forth in regards to It's put it
Speaker 1: this way, it's really easy to make assumptions that, yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys should have came out here at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the week. I mean, you could say that for
Speaker 1: every time every team that comes out here and go
Speaker 1: ahead and say that, I mean, that's ridiculous. So but
Speaker 1: for the people that did put everything together for a
Speaker 1: short week, we appreciate it. The players handling themselves great,
Speaker 1: we just gotta play better football and win the game
Speaker 1: next time. Yeah, but you knew that was going to
Speaker 1: be you know, it was kind of the humming theme
Speaker 1: over the course of the week anyway. Yeah, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a well that that's I mean, we were not like
Speaker 1: teams having done before. Let me just make it real clear.
Speaker 1: There's it's about fifty fifty right now. So I was
Speaker 1: here three years ago and we want to kick some tail,
Speaker 1: and we came out here on Thursday, and I didn't
Speaker 1: hear it once. All right, So the defense, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, Derek Carr is gonna get rid of it quickly.
Speaker 1: He doesn't get sacked much because high percentage accuracy throws
Speaker 1: and he's okay living with the short gains. But you know,
Speaker 1: it kind of helped obviously with the run game right away.
Speaker 1: But they had a ton of second in shorts. The
Speaker 1: challenges that poses for a defense. Then in those situations
Speaker 1: you kind of get back on your heels a little bit,
Speaker 1: don't you sure? It opens up the playbook on second down.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things you can do, and then
Speaker 1: it makes it a really manageable third down. Um, when
Speaker 1: you make it second on one second and two, that
Speaker 1: means you're doing well on first down. And uh that
Speaker 1: that that's just something that's so so positive for a
Speaker 1: team when you have that. And they were doing that.
Speaker 1: They were they were getting first downs, they were they
Speaker 1: had ball control, and then they were producing when they
Speaker 1: got chances inside that five yard. Kim Hicks was able
Speaker 1: to come back from the sore knee play and then uh,
Speaker 1: well you saw the tape. I have not seen the
Speaker 1: play again. So he got pinned, his arm got pinned
Speaker 1: in you know, that was unfortunate. It is unfortunate. It's
Speaker 1: the word, you know, because he was playing with a
Speaker 1: lot of energy. It wasn't far into the game and
Speaker 1: got hit there on one of the tackles, got his
Speaker 1: arm caught. So, uh, you know, he's he's a warrior.
Speaker 1: We hope he's okay. We hope we can get him
Speaker 1: back and we wish him the best. This is something
Speaker 1: that you didn't have to deal with a lot of
Speaker 1: last year, these injuries of starting to a road a
Speaker 1: little bit. How do you put that in poper frame
Speaker 1: and get these guys through it? Yeah, you just have
Speaker 1: to you know, you have to trust in the next
Speaker 1: guy up. You have to trust in your trainers and
Speaker 1: trying to get guys back as soon as you can.
Speaker 1: You have to trust in the plan and knowing that
Speaker 1: every year is a little bit different and you can't
Speaker 1: be swayed one way or the other just because you said, oh, no,
Speaker 1: that it's a you know, everything's peachy just like last year. No,
Speaker 1: it's not last year anymore. We made that clear. This
Speaker 1: is a new year. There's gonna be different types of
Speaker 1: adversity and how are we going to handle it. Let's
Speaker 1: talk specialty teams too, because a couple of things. Cordell
Speaker 1: Patterson had a nice return, Tarik had the big one,
Speaker 1: and you know, I think, how was how was Tarik
Speaker 1: handling yet not having the uh you know, he's easily
Speaker 1: used to having big plays throughout the course of a game.
Speaker 1: That one must have felt good for him. But overall
Speaker 1: the special teams play Eddie Paniro and Patrick O'Donnell included. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that unit right now is playing as good as I've
Speaker 1: seen after you know, five five games, and uh so
Speaker 1: you you appreciate that there's been so you know, the
Speaker 1: fuel position part with with Pat with the punts and
Speaker 1: our our our players going down there and getting the
Speaker 1: ball you know inside the five, et cetera. You wish
Speaker 1: he had back the running into the kicker. You wish
Speaker 1: he had back to the fake punt um. But uh
Speaker 1: we we we understand that we have some really good players,
Speaker 1: guys that fight their tails off to to make plays
Speaker 1: and Coach Tabor's doing a really good job with them.
Speaker 1: You know, if this would have turned out differently, that
Speaker 1: ninety six yard flip of the field, that might have
Speaker 1: been something to really build on, coming from behind making
Speaker 1: that kind of play. They could be eleasy to score
Speaker 1: a touchdown there to take away the punch out by
Speaker 1: Sherrick being fortunate enough to have him on the field
Speaker 1: for that snap and him to do that, and then
Speaker 1: all the way the other end of it. That was
Speaker 1: very impressive turn of events right there. No, for sure,
Speaker 1: it's a great point you make, and we had the
Speaker 1: ball and basically the one foot yard line and Mats
Speaker 1: made a great third down play there, a great throw
Speaker 1: and catch by Allen Robinson on the sideline to move
Speaker 1: the sticks and get out of that backed up territory
Speaker 1: and then to be able to churn some first downs out,
Speaker 1: get to get to midfielders or to the plus forty
Speaker 1: and then pat made that that great punt and we
Speaker 1: did that. You know, we did we flipped the field.
Speaker 1: They had a big run on that very first down,
Speaker 1: they got out of there, and then uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we we ended up holding them to a third and
Speaker 1: eight and then unfortunately then then everything happened with the
Speaker 1: running end of the kicker. Yeah, back to Courdell Patterson.
Speaker 1: Did you know he was this good in coverage on
Speaker 1: special teams? Yeah, we knew, we knew he was good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we knew he was this good.
Speaker 1: He's he's really That's a huge part of that of
Speaker 1: the special teams. And I think when you have a
Speaker 1: guy like that that has the speeds and speed and
Speaker 1: the size and the knowledge understanding angles, he can really
Speaker 1: help out. No more of the Bears Coaches Show with
Speaker 1: head coach Matt Maggie on News Where Toio seven eighty
Speaker 1: and one oh five point nine FM w BBM staff
Speaker 1: play Big Daniel gonna arch it down the right side
Speaker 1: the jost touchdown Allan Robinson heady Bears the football in
Speaker 1: the stance. Bears are taking the lead, coming back from
Speaker 1: seventeen down. They go up twenty to seventeen. Alan Robinson
Speaker 1: with a second of his touchdown catches as the Bears
Speaker 1: rally come from behind, go up and unable to finish
Speaker 1: the job in Oakland as they take down taken down
Speaker 1: by the Raiders. Twenty four, twenty one. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Bears Coaches Show, brought to you by Whippley Financial Advisors,
Speaker 1: a proud partner of the Chicago Bears. With Matt Maggie
Speaker 1: for one more segment, Let's talk about a rob because
Speaker 1: he made some time catches. Let's just call it what
Speaker 1: it is against some of those were terriffic throws too,
Speaker 1: but got getting the opportunity and he's consistently made those
Speaker 1: all year. I just love the fact that the way
Speaker 1: that Alan Robinson comes to practice every day, he shows
Speaker 1: up on game day and it's it's expected. You know,
Speaker 1: we always say when he's covered, he's not covered. And
Speaker 1: that was a pure example that yesterday made some big
Speaker 1: time plays at big time moments Chase was looking for
Speaker 1: him in those moments and then when he had a
Speaker 1: chance to do it, I mean, he took some big
Speaker 1: shots on a couple a couple of those catches, and
Speaker 1: but that's why he's here and our quarterbacks are really
Speaker 1: recognizing that. Speaking of quarterbacks, this will have a really
Speaker 1: good time for Mitch to get some more arrest and
Speaker 1: so forth. To any expectations post by no, I think
Speaker 1: just every day for him just to continue rehabing it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's a part of the game
Speaker 1: to get injured and see where he's at. But he's
Speaker 1: he's been doing good on a daily basis, I think mentally,
Speaker 1: just staying involved in it and seeing where we were
Speaker 1: at this past game. And but no, we want to
Speaker 1: get him back out here as soon as we can
Speaker 1: and continue to uh to try to get everything figured out.
Speaker 1: And the majority of those guys are they are they
Speaker 1: shots at least post by guys like Taylor Gabriel and
Speaker 1: Blow Nichols and so forth, I hope. So I feel
Speaker 1: like we're really close in regards to those injuries. Again
Speaker 1: that by that bye week can come at strange times,
Speaker 1: you know, you never know at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: season when and why it's coming. But now we kind
Speaker 1: of know why it's coming. It's for us to get
Speaker 1: healthy and use it that way. So we'll get we'll
Speaker 1: get our team hopefully back here and uh be back
Speaker 1: home for our next game in a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: against the Saints. And but but right now, we're going
Speaker 1: to use this time to to regroup mentally and physically
Speaker 1: and then get back to the grind. You're a very
Speaker 1: optimistic guy. You show that to your team. You also
Speaker 1: very direct with them too. Um, despite your optimistic view
Speaker 1: and everything, is there a concerns for you that really
Speaker 1: have your mind working right now? Well? You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if if if it's the word concern, maybe
Speaker 1: it is. But what I try to start off with
Speaker 1: is saying, okay, here we are. We were just allowed
Speaker 1: to play five games, and after those five games we're
Speaker 1: three and two. So the world could be a lot
Speaker 1: worse than three and two. So let's start there. Now,
Speaker 1: after we get past that point, let's look at where
Speaker 1: we could be right and then why aren't we there?
Speaker 1: And once you do that, you see where that's at.
Speaker 1: Now you can see, Okay, are there any blind spots,
Speaker 1: things that we're missing, things that other people are seeing.
Speaker 1: How do we correct that? And then we talked about
Speaker 1: it the last couple of weeks. It's about solutions, it's
Speaker 1: about adaptations, it's about staying positive. There's an accountability, there's ownership.
Speaker 1: All these words fly around for us that we need
Speaker 1: to take to become a championship level team. It doesn't
Speaker 1: happen in six seven weeks. It happens over time. So
Speaker 1: when I do know we have a good football team
Speaker 1: and that that part is comfortable known, but now we
Speaker 1: got to become a great football team, and that's trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what those answers are. As the play
Speaker 1: of the offensive lines prized you well, so for our guys.
Speaker 1: You know, if you look at it, there's two phases
Speaker 1: that you have. You have the rung game and then
Speaker 1: you have the pass game in pass Pro and right now,
Speaker 1: for all the negativity that's going on in the frustration
Speaker 1: that there is within the rung game, which deals for
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different reasons I go behind it,
Speaker 1: but it always starts there. There's a frustration there with
Speaker 1: that that that's some answers that we got to get
Speaker 1: figured out. But with that said, in the pass game
Speaker 1: right now, they're protecting really really well and they're given,
Speaker 1: you know, Mitch and Chase a lot of time to throw,
Speaker 1: and I don't I want to make sure that that
Speaker 1: gets noticed. And as you move forward through this portion
Speaker 1: of the season as well, can you. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know every season's different, but you are in the exact
Speaker 1: same scenario as we talked about in the postgame show
Speaker 1: after five games three and two, coming off a really
Speaker 1: tough one at Miami on the road. We probably feel
Speaker 1: you should have had that one too. It's a real
Speaker 1: weird situation, isn't it That it's almost identical. It's very Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good point that that that's a good analogy
Speaker 1: that last year you kind of felt the same feeling
Speaker 1: after this game. Uh and so uh we you saw
Speaker 1: what happened last year is is our our guys they
Speaker 1: rallied behind each other, and they rally behind one another,
Speaker 1: and that's why they play sixteen games and and the
Speaker 1: playoffs don't start after eight, they start after sixteen. So, um,
Speaker 1: I have ultimate trust in our guys and knowing that
Speaker 1: they'll rally. I believe in them, they believe in us,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you go through these uh, these difficult losses. Uh,
Speaker 1: they sting, but you we've shown before that we've used
Speaker 1: these type of games to make us better. And are
Speaker 1: there some as wrap up with this one, U are
Speaker 1: there's some guys that you haven't tapped yet that may
Speaker 1: get chances here as you move forward because of the
Speaker 1: way they're practicing and so forth behind the scenes that
Speaker 1: we can't see again. Yeah, there's a possibility that that's
Speaker 1: that's what's going to be interesting for us as a
Speaker 1: staff in the next you know, five six, seven days
Speaker 1: is going through some film and just really reflecting where
Speaker 1: we're at as as coach is schematically and then where
Speaker 1: these players are at through execution and the why part
Speaker 1: of really sitting down altogether and trying to say, okay, no,
Speaker 1: this is really what it is. We think we know
Speaker 1: what it is when you're going through five weeks and
Speaker 1: you can't catch up each week too much on the
Speaker 1: self scout stuff. Now we're gonna have a great chance
Speaker 1: to do that, all right, Matt, thank you, safe trip
Speaker 1: back home. We'll see you after the bye week. You
Speaker 1: see Jeff's Bears head coach Matt Nage coming up next,
Speaker 1: Chuck Pogano will join the program The Bears Coaches Show

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Bears Coaches Show here in London,
Speaker 1: wrapping things up. Bears fall to the Raiders, joined now
Speaker 1: by defensive coordinator Chuck Pagan. I just heard the highlight
Speaker 1: of Sherrick McManus with Peter Tillman in the building. I
Speaker 1: saw him in the locker room right before the game,
Speaker 1: the ex Bear with the peanut punch, and that peanut
Speaker 1: punch was quite the play. Being engaged by Healendass the
Speaker 1: wide receiver and still managing to get his hand out
Speaker 1: of there and punch it out there as a unbelievable
Speaker 1: turn of events, flip the field, as it turns out,
Speaker 1: ninety six yards swap and you know, it could have
Speaker 1: been a huge turn of events in that game for
Speaker 1: the Bears. Uh, you know, but unfortunately didn't finish that way.
Speaker 1: But how about that play, No, it was obviously very timely.
Speaker 1: And Shrek, he does a great job. He practice is
Speaker 1: that way all the time. He's epitome of a of
Speaker 1: a of a team player, a Bears box guy. And
Speaker 1: again you mentioned, you know, the peanut punch and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, and and what a time to h to
Speaker 1: force that turnover, like you said, it flipped flip the
Speaker 1: field and you know, gave us a chance, you know,
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, to win that football game. But
Speaker 1: we just didn't. We just didn't play good enough, you know,
Speaker 1: for sixty minutes and they got the job done. Credit them.
Speaker 1: And uh but Jerik came in, did a nice job
Speaker 1: on that plane. And if I'm not mistaken, screening at
Speaker 1: like a little bit of an issue at that point
Speaker 1: he left the game, and so maybe it was fortunately
Speaker 1: you know, again it's it's a guy that you know,
Speaker 1: we challenge all of our guys to come in and
Speaker 1: prepare like starters. You know, every single day you never
Speaker 1: know when your number is gonna get called. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Shark does a great job. He knows multiple
Speaker 1: spot spots on the defense. He gives you great position
Speaker 1: flexibility and credit him for knowing what to do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we haven't talked in a couple of weeks on this show,
Speaker 1: but the step up and do your job type of
Speaker 1: thing has really been a theme of this Payer's defense
Speaker 1: with all the injuries that have taken place. Yeah, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. And you know a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago you saw a bunch of guys you know, step
Speaker 1: in and fill in for guys that were missing and
Speaker 1: did a great job. So again, you know, coach talks
Speaker 1: about it all the time. We talk about it all
Speaker 1: the time in our room, and guys are doing a
Speaker 1: great job of that. And you knew the Raiders were
Speaker 1: try and be physical, that's what they do. They got
Speaker 1: the bodies to do it. What are the unique challenges
Speaker 1: of facing an offensive line as a couple of six
Speaker 1: to eight guys north to three fifty and big interior
Speaker 1: guys up front that can move people. No, they did
Speaker 1: a great job of executing their plan, and you could
Speaker 1: tell early what that plan was going to be. We
Speaker 1: knew going in that they were a really good football
Speaker 1: team up front. They like you said, they got you know,
Speaker 1: it's always been about big people out there. You know,
Speaker 1: worked for mister Davis for two years back in oh
Speaker 1: five and oh six, and he said, it's a big,
Speaker 1: big man's game. They are giants up front. They did
Speaker 1: a great job, you know of blocking our guys and
Speaker 1: getting pushed and getting guys cut off on the back side.
Speaker 1: And um, it's a tough, tough scheme. And it felt
Speaker 1: like we were in second and one, two, three, third,
Speaker 1: one I think three then at last tally I had
Speaker 1: ten second and five or lesses. Yeah no, and there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of not a lot of calls on
Speaker 1: a playsheet for those situations. We knew we had to
Speaker 1: go in and do a better job. Uh, do a
Speaker 1: real good job on first down and get them in
Speaker 1: second and eight, second and nine, second and seven at least, um,
Speaker 1: because then we knew that was our formula for winning.
Speaker 1: We didn't. We didn't do that. We didn't get that
Speaker 1: job done. I gotta be better. I got to do
Speaker 1: a better job or preparing these guys uh to face
Speaker 1: those challenges and uh, you know we'll learn from this,
Speaker 1: we'll grow from this, and we'll be better down the
Speaker 1: road for it. How do you combat size, though, especially
Speaker 1: that kind of size when you know they're gonna it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a one on one brawl. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you tell you guys? You gotta you know,
Speaker 1: when things start to you know, hit the fan like
Speaker 1: that and you and you're losing some ground, you know,
Speaker 1: you go back to fundamentals, You go back to technique.
Speaker 1: You try to match you know, big with big. Uh.
Speaker 1: They did a great job. Again, you know, credit them
Speaker 1: from a personnel standpoint. They got in and out of
Speaker 1: a bunch of different personnel groups and and you know
Speaker 1: they'd put big people out there right when you thought
Speaker 1: they were going to run it and they threw it.
Speaker 1: You know, again, I gotta be better and put these
Speaker 1: guys in better position to make plays. But uh, they
Speaker 1: did a nice job. And again it still comes back to, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of one on one battles. You
Speaker 1: got eleven guys out there, and we got to win,
Speaker 1: you know, our fair share of battles, whether it be
Speaker 1: you know, up front and the trenches or in the
Speaker 1: back end. Joined Bearscare and advocate healthcare and raising funds

Speaker 1: Bears dot com slash pink. The Bears Coaching Show with
Speaker 1: defensive Coordinator Chuck Baganto and w BBMS Jeff Jodiac continues
Speaker 1: and the pitch off the Jacobs and role you're out.
Speaker 1: It's cart up with a beard. There's your turnover. So
Speaker 1: the flip was not seen by Jacobs. Eddie Jackson went
Speaker 1: running for a big pile up and it looks like
Speaker 1: the Bears recovered inside the fifteen yard line brick covered
Speaker 1: by Khalil Mack. Welcome back to the Bears Coaching Show
Speaker 1: with Check Baganto, the Bears defensive coordinator. That was Khalil
Speaker 1: Mack recovering a fumble. And you know, one mistake can
Speaker 1: always heard of football team sometimes and it almost did
Speaker 1: the Raiders, you know, in the end. But that recovery
Speaker 1: on the flip and the toss that was errant, it's
Speaker 1: there to be made. You made the play and things
Speaker 1: started to turn then, didn't you feel it. Yeah, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. You know, right, when you go through
Speaker 1: a first half and nothing went your way, you come
Speaker 1: out and you get a play like that, and uh
Speaker 1: again they had a miscommunication on offense. We took advantage
Speaker 1: of it. Klil got on that ball and and you
Speaker 1: could feel the whole momentum obviously turned in that in
Speaker 1: that third quarter, and um again it gave us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get back in that game, gave us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get ahead in that game. We just uh
Speaker 1: we just couldn't close it out. Yeah, that fourth quarter drive,
Speaker 1: you know, really was they just kind of took their
Speaker 1: deep breath and went back to what they were doing,
Speaker 1: didn't they. Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it. Again, you know, Uh,
Speaker 1: we had our struggles, you know, uh in the you
Speaker 1: know run game. Um, you know again too many second
Speaker 1: and shorts, third and third and shorts, and uh we
Speaker 1: had an opportunity there late again to to try to
Speaker 1: get off the field. And again credit them, they executed.
Speaker 1: Uh we didn't execute very well. And and again I
Speaker 1: put them in some tough spots. I gotta be better.
Speaker 1: When a Keem went down, I mean he had play
Speaker 1: you know, it's a big stage, it's London, it's it
Speaker 1: felt like a nationally televised game. It almost felt super
Speaker 1: bolish with all the pomp and cerms dance before the
Speaker 1: game and that's up his alley. So it must have
Speaker 1: breaking your heart to have him leave the game like that.
Speaker 1: I know he was very disappointed. Yeah, no doubt about it, Jeff.
Speaker 1: And it was great to have him back out there.
Speaker 1: You could just you can feel it, you know, when
Speaker 1: when Big ninety six is back with us and out
Speaker 1: there rolling, and he was rolling and it's unfortunate that
Speaker 1: you know, he had the injury. Um, but again it's
Speaker 1: like you said, it's the next man up and guys
Speaker 1: got to step up and guys got to play and
Speaker 1: things like that are gonna happen. You know. It was
Speaker 1: an emotional week leading up to leaving for London with
Speaker 1: Roquan and then the uncertainty of a chem the emotional
Speaker 1: win over the Vikings. I mean, do you feel this
Speaker 1: has been kind of a crazy roller coaster right here
Speaker 1: in the past eight days. You know what, again, we're
Speaker 1: not going to make any excuses, I know, coach season
Speaker 1: going to make any excuses. Um, it's a National Football League.
Speaker 1: I think we all understand what we what we signed
Speaker 1: up for. Um, we had a we had a golden opportunity.
Speaker 1: We let one get away. We didn't play good enough.
Speaker 1: You know, on our side of the ball, we can
Speaker 1: play much much better. We have played better, and we
Speaker 1: will play better. We'll we'll get back, we'll regroup, we'll
Speaker 1: have a chance to you know, get healthy, heal a
Speaker 1: little bit. Look at this tape, look at ourselves, see
Speaker 1: what we've done through the first five weeks of this season,
Speaker 1: and then keep moving forward. It's a long season. Over
Speaker 1: the years, Given your head coaching experience in your long
Speaker 1: tenure in the league, what have you learned about the
Speaker 1: value of the self scouting aspect of a bye week
Speaker 1: as a coach and how it's worked for you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it. No, it's huge, you know because it
Speaker 1: usually everybody goes back and they'll watch your last four
Speaker 1: you know, four games, five games, and it will be
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for us to look at what we've
Speaker 1: done good, where we've been good, and what we've done
Speaker 1: well and then evaluate, you know, our tenancies and if
Speaker 1: there's some things that are sticking out. Uh, as far
Speaker 1: as you know myself, as far as the calls GOUM
Speaker 1: things like that. So again you get a chance to
Speaker 1: rest up, you get a chance to get healthy, but
Speaker 1: also a chance to you know, get a jump on
Speaker 1: your next opponent obviously, but take a good look at
Speaker 1: yourself and see, you know, what you're doing well and
Speaker 1: what you need to clean up. You guys watch so
Speaker 1: much tape. You would think that you would you would
Speaker 1: see everything already, you know, just doing what you do,
Speaker 1: but there are little things that pop up, or how
Speaker 1: you stack a plate a play sheet. Right, Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: no doubt about it because you know, we all have
Speaker 1: all have tendencies. And again it'll be a great chance
Speaker 1: for us to to dive back in and look at
Speaker 1: the analytics, look at the reports, look at the tape,
Speaker 1: and again fix the things that need to be fixed. Now,
Speaker 1: you a numbers guy, you like the introduction of analytics
Speaker 1: and pro sports. Yeah, you know it's just a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit old school, but there's some good stuff there.
Speaker 1: And you know, we got you know, some really really
Speaker 1: smart guys in that building that give us some great information.
Speaker 1: So we'll use everything. You know, you mentioned earlier, the
Speaker 1: earlier segment about you know, it's a big man's game.
Speaker 1: But it's funny. I'm an old school football lover as well,
Speaker 1: you know, the big guys and running, running the ball
Speaker 1: and stopping the run and playing a black and blue
Speaker 1: dirty bay up a fist kind of game. But and
Speaker 1: I've talked to some of the guys about this too.
Speaker 1: In this era of you know, you think it's just
Speaker 1: a passing league. The running game for some reason this
Speaker 1: year seems to be coming to the forefront again throughout
Speaker 1: the league in certain situations. Everybody knows you gotta run
Speaker 1: the ball. But let's to say the teams aren't just
Speaker 1: going to turn to that now, you know? Is that
Speaker 1: part of the evolution every single five years or so
Speaker 1: in this league? Yeah? I think so. You know, growing
Speaker 1: up in a football family, I heard that from from
Speaker 1: as long as I can understand, you know what running
Speaker 1: the ball and stopping the run meant, you know, Uh,
Speaker 1: coming from a coaching family, so I think that always
Speaker 1: starts there, uh, coach preachers that we preach that, um
Speaker 1: that you've got to be able to to run it,
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to stop the run. If
Speaker 1: you can't make teams one dimensional, you're really going to
Speaker 1: struggle in and I think every game is different, every
Speaker 1: situation is different. We're gonna get attacked in different ways,
Speaker 1: and we've been in positions before this game where we've
Speaker 1: done a really good job of stopping the run, and
Speaker 1: the Bears have done a great job stopping the run
Speaker 1: for for a long time. That that was a rare
Speaker 1: moment last night with the Raiders getting to win. One
Speaker 1: more segment to go with check Pagano as we wrap
Speaker 1: things up here from London. The Bears Coaches Show with
Speaker 1: head coach Matt Maggie continues exclusively on the Home of
Speaker 1: the Bears, Niel's Radio seven eighty and one oh five
Speaker 1: point nine FM w BBM. Back on The Bears Coaching
Speaker 1: Show with Cheff Poganto, the Bear's veteran defensive coordinator, as
Speaker 1: the Bears get ready to fare for the bye week.
Speaker 1: Over the course of getting ready for London, I thought
Speaker 1: the Bears organization did a great job of all the
Speaker 1: different things that need to be taken care of throughout
Speaker 1: the whole process, for families and Whatnotum, how'd you feel
Speaker 1: about it though, you know, going here and checking things out. No,
Speaker 1: they they did a phenomenal job and it's a huge undertaking,
Speaker 1: you know, and it takes a master people to make
Speaker 1: this thing happen. So um, as far as you know,
Speaker 1: our preparation went, as far as the travel went, as
Speaker 1: far as them taking care of you know, our families
Speaker 1: and things like that. I've only been over here one
Speaker 1: other time prior to this, but this was this was
Speaker 1: a great setup. You know, they did a great job
Speaker 1: here in London. Obviously the fans and the people were
Speaker 1: here to support us and things like that, but our
Speaker 1: organization did a phenomenal job and they made they made
Speaker 1: this trip pretty seamless for us. What will you be
Speaker 1: telling your guys as the bye week unfolds. You know
Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, go their separate ways here for
Speaker 1: the week, But what do you want them to know
Speaker 1: right now at this point in the season. From it,
Speaker 1: we're a good defense. You know, we got really good players,
Speaker 1: but you got to be consistent. You got to do
Speaker 1: it weekend and week out, and you got to show
Speaker 1: up and play weekend and week out, and so you know,
Speaker 1: take some time to get away from it, rest heal up.
Speaker 1: But also you know, we all got to take a
Speaker 1: good look at ourselves and make sure we look at
Speaker 1: this tape, good and hard and fix what we need
Speaker 1: to fix, you know, and play our brand of football,
Speaker 1: you know, Bears, Bears defensive football, and that's certainly you know, again,
Speaker 1: credit I'm proud of the guys, and credit the guys
Speaker 1: for coming back in the second half as a football
Speaker 1: team and making a couple of plays to give us
Speaker 1: a chance to get back in that game, actually take
Speaker 1: the lead and have a chance to win that thing.
Speaker 1: But uh, get rested it up and then you know,
Speaker 1: come back with your batteries recharge, ready to roll in
Speaker 1: and get ready for the Uh we got a long stretch.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like I said, it's it's a marathon,
Speaker 1: not a sprint. We got think eleven more games and
Speaker 1: you know the only one that matters is the next one.
Speaker 1: So we got we got a chance to you know,
Speaker 1: prepare for that one. What have you learned in general
Speaker 1: about this bunch of year coaching Maybe you didn't know before. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, you watch the tape and you know you
Speaker 1: got a bunch of really talented football players front to back.
Speaker 1: But they're they're great guys, and they're great teammates. They're
Speaker 1: great people. They love football, they love playing for this organization. Uh,
Speaker 1: they love playing for one another. Um, they're gritty bunch.
Speaker 1: They're gritty bunch. They're a resilient bunch. Um they'll come
Speaker 1: back and uh and we'll be back and we'll play
Speaker 1: good football again. But uh, they're determined and they'll write
Speaker 1: this ship. There's a couple of guys you know emerging too.
Speaker 1: We'll get a couple of guys back obviously with plan Nichols.
Speaker 1: Hopefully a team's not not too uh too severe that
Speaker 1: he can come back. But you know, the play of
Speaker 1: the guys up front from Nick Williams and Roy Robertson Harris,
Speaker 1: you know in general over the first five weeks and
Speaker 1: so a lot of people those are surprisers right there. Yeah. Again,
Speaker 1: those guys come in and work extremely hard, you know,
Speaker 1: day in and day out. You know, Jay does a
Speaker 1: great job with those guys up front. You know, our
Speaker 1: entire defensive coach and staff does a great job. And
Speaker 1: so you know, um, again, it only takes you know,
Speaker 1: one bad one bad game, one bad Sunday to make
Speaker 1: you know, and that's coach, that's all we it's all
Speaker 1: you tend to you know, remember obviously because it's the
Speaker 1: last one and it'll be a long two weeks you
Speaker 1: know before we get back, you know, in the football
Speaker 1: field to have an opportunity to uh, to amend this,
Speaker 1: so to speak. So but again, we got we got
Speaker 1: great players, we've got great coaches. Uh. They're all like minded,
