Speaker 1: We two of the NFL season about to commence Bears Broncos,
Speaker 1: and we begin to talk about a bit here with
Speaker 1: Tom Fair. I'm Jeff Joniac on Chicago Sports Radio six
Speaker 1: seventy to score. This is Bears All Access from P
Speaker 1: ANDC Studios at Hallisong. Coming along in a minute. Roy
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris and Tom I'm really enjoying the development of
Speaker 1: young players. Yeah. I've always said about this season that
Speaker 1: if the star players are going to play to their
Speaker 1: potential what we expect, and then guys like a Roy
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris, like a Blow Nichols, like ro Kwan Smith,
Speaker 1: like Mitch Droubisky, like James Daniels, those type of guys
Speaker 1: elevate their play. You got a wow situation going on,
Speaker 1: and hopefully that happens over the course of the season.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's been here now several years and
Speaker 1: we're going to get a chance to talk to him
Speaker 1: here about his development and so forth. But he's a
Speaker 1: guy that excites me. Yeah, every one of those positions,
Speaker 1: aside from the quarterback position, you have to include depth
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the game day need for you
Speaker 1: to play well. And if Roy Robertson Harris is getting
Speaker 1: thirty raps or if he's getting fifteen, you gotta see
Speaker 1: the destruction that he's capable of implementing on a poor
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. That's a little bit off balance. But no,
Speaker 1: that's what you have to have out of all those guys,
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna go up to an atmosphere like Denver,
Speaker 1: where it's gonna be anywhere from eighty nine nine ninety
Speaker 1: one degrees. You talked about the elevation, but every guy
Speaker 1: who's dressing as an inside linebacker has to be ready, willing,
Speaker 1: and able to play, just like all the outside guys
Speaker 1: in just like every one of the defensive lineman. But
Speaker 1: when they get their opportunity to play, they got to
Speaker 1: be productive. Yeah, and the production, obviously in that thin
Speaker 1: air of of Denver, will be something that will keep
Speaker 1: an eye on. And the heat. Are you hydrating? I am?
Speaker 1: I know it's I don't know, teeth six Saturday right now,
Speaker 1: it's Saturday, So you know I'm doing my best as
Speaker 1: we get in. We almost lost your last time. Now wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, it was not last time. First of all,
Speaker 1: it's many years and nobody wants to hear this it
Speaker 1: was years ago, but yeah, I feel in my heart
Speaker 1: of hearts, I got out to teach six. Chuck Pogonoll,
Speaker 1: you know, gave me the business this week on the
Speaker 1: Bears Coaches Show. Well he heard about it too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the good chuckle about it, that's for sure. He's from well,
Speaker 1: you know what, he's from Boulder, as you know, right,
Speaker 1: you know, his parents are still there and he's a big,
Speaker 1: big Colorado guy. But getting back to the seriousness of
Speaker 1: the you know, the time, the temperature or the altitude
Speaker 1: and everything. And we talk about originally the development of
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris. When you talk about these positions that
Speaker 1: everybody on the roster has a valuability and opportunity, then
Speaker 1: they do have to be productive. But you know, the
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky is the offensive line for the most part.
Speaker 1: You know, these are the guy the cornerbacks. They're not
Speaker 1: going to be substituted during the game. So I mean
Speaker 1: they have a full day on their hands. And with
Speaker 1: this Broncos team coming off the game against Oakland, I
Speaker 1: saw a team that was spinning its wheels offensively until
Speaker 1: the second half got going and then the running game
Speaker 1: came around. So that's something to keep an eye. They
Speaker 1: have a young offensive weapon team. You take away Emmanuel Sanders,
Speaker 1: the veteran, you take away Joe Flacco. They've got young
Speaker 1: weapons at receiver and running back. To keep an eye.
Speaker 1: What were your impressions against the Raiders. You know, you
Speaker 1: could see that the crowd noise in Oakland was really supportive,
Speaker 1: so there wasn't perfect communication on the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: And the thing about offensive line play is that everybody's
Speaker 1: got to be perfectly sunk sync together in order for
Speaker 1: a play to run officially. So if you go out
Speaker 1: there and you have interruption in one out of five plays,
Speaker 1: that means you're behind the change and it's a it's
Speaker 1: a hard maintaining success. And that's what the Bears have
Speaker 1: to be able to do. They have to go and
Speaker 1: do a really hostile environment. They have to go out
Speaker 1: there and they have to play efficient offense. But when
Speaker 1: you look at the Oakland Raiders offense, I'm I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about the the statuesque quarterback in
Speaker 1: the modern day NFL, you know, because we're seeing RPOs
Speaker 1: out of everybody driving Raiders dining. It didn't get touched
Speaker 1: Denver didn't have one hit on the quarterback. No, no,
Speaker 1: But you know it's it's also what is the time
Speaker 1: you know that you're when you created your offense, when
Speaker 1: you started thinking about the way that hasn't Hammond's twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: By the way, can you imagine man Well with two
Speaker 1: great pass rushers. Yeah, and I think everybody wanted to
Speaker 1: that game thinking about how destructive those two guys specifically
Speaker 1: we're gonna be. But you also have a chance to
Speaker 1: be an offensive coordinator with the Raiders and devise a
Speaker 1: game plan that's properly timed against what you're gonna be facing.
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna go out there and have unprotected
Speaker 1: offensive tackles and a seven step drop. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: an our. You know, car is still an RPO threatening quarterback.
Speaker 1: You know, um, the Denver guy is not Joe Flecco.
Speaker 1: And the crowd will help Miller and Chubb, Yes, and
Speaker 1: they get delirious over there in Denver. But you know, again,
Speaker 1: now Matt's thinking about that far enough in advance. How
Speaker 1: do I get the ball out of Mitchell Trubisky's hands?
Speaker 1: How do I threaten the edge. So now these guys
Speaker 1: got to respect upfield rush as much as to the
Speaker 1: point of the quarterback. So I I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be one of the ultimate chess games
Speaker 1: of all season because of the VIC and the Matt
Speaker 1: Naggie attachment. Um, and we're forgetting that. You know, two
Speaker 1: guys from Chicago can rush the past are pretty good
Speaker 1: to him and Leonard Floyd, you know, I agree. And
Speaker 1: they got a tackle that went out what the tenth
Speaker 1: play of the game. Yeah, and they have you know,
Speaker 1: they got a rookie starting at left guard. They got
Speaker 1: a left tackle that is a little pushy after the whistle. Careful, yeah,
Speaker 1: even him, be careful, well, be careful after the whistle
Speaker 1: right right now, it's not good because alcohol balls. He's
Speaker 1: he's a little he's a little bit chippy, all right.
Speaker 1: Paul's range your engineer, Dan Briley, our producer. We're coming

Speaker 1: Joni Yak here at BNC Studios at have us All,
Speaker 1: Tom there, my broadcast partner, kicked off our conversation today
Speaker 1: with defensive lineman Roy Robertson Harris. All right, everybody, welcome
Speaker 1: back the big man, Roy Robertson Harris in the studio
Speaker 1: with us. It's kind of fun for me because I
Speaker 1: think about questions that I have for you all week long,
Speaker 1: and I have them listed as serious or fun. So
Speaker 1: first question, you want a serious question or a fun question,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Well, you know, there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: talk about the elevation that you guys are playing at
Speaker 1: in Denver, so I looked up you tap thirty three
Speaker 1: thousand and seven hundred and forty feet Denver fifty two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty. Are you in better shape now or
Speaker 1: when you were in college? I'm better say no, I'm
Speaker 1: thirty pounds bigger than what I was for forty pound
Speaker 1: I was too forty out of out of college. I'm
Speaker 1: fifty pounds bigger than when I was in college. But
Speaker 1: I'm kind of take everything into consideration about you know,
Speaker 1: they talk about the running aspect of going to Denver,
Speaker 1: so you're training college, you're a little bit familiar with it.
Speaker 1: Is it will it be a big difference to you,
Speaker 1: even though you're in better shape now than when you
Speaker 1: were in college. Me personally know, just because we practice
Speaker 1: with them a year ago, um, for a whole week
Speaker 1: in preparation for the game. So um, obviously it's a
Speaker 1: different you know, element elevation where we were at now,
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's gonna be different, but it's
Speaker 1: not foreign to me being that we were there a
Speaker 1: year ago for a whole week. So right, you know,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of change within your body, your system,
Speaker 1: where you're playing everything. So you get here, you're two
Speaker 1: sixty ish, now you're three hundred. No, I'm too ninety.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not. It's not it's not October, November,
Speaker 1: December yet, So what is um easier for you to be?
Speaker 1: Are you? Is it easier for you to be two
Speaker 1: sixty or is it easier and more fun to be
Speaker 1: too ninety. It's a little bit easier being too ninety,
Speaker 1: just because I'm an intrenches. Back in college, I was
Speaker 1: more on the edge. Well what about it? Just your lifestyle,
Speaker 1: you know, because you know here, you know, I played
Speaker 1: offensive line my whole career. You're you're up there about
Speaker 1: you know, two eighty five to three hundred, and then
Speaker 1: you just want to be what you more are more
Speaker 1: naturally when you're done here. We've seen you go from
Speaker 1: two forty to two sixty to three hundred. So what
Speaker 1: do you enjoy more? Well, it's part of the job,
Speaker 1: So I don't really think about it too much. It
Speaker 1: was more fun, And what the weight is that? Just
Speaker 1: I could eat whatever I want. Joy I can enjoy
Speaker 1: eating a lot um, but I still have to keep
Speaker 1: myself at a certain like. I can't just overeat all
Speaker 1: the time, if you know what I'm saying. So um,
Speaker 1: I could. I'm enjoying it because I'm at this level
Speaker 1: where I can just eat whatever I want. College, I
Speaker 1: couldn't do that. I had, you know, I didn't have
Speaker 1: the luxury of going to any restaurant I wanted to,
Speaker 1: you know, being a student athlete I wasn't a rich guy,
Speaker 1: so I can eat whatever I wanted to. Now I
Speaker 1: can go anywhere I want to eat. So that's what
Speaker 1: I like. I enjoyed. That is this facility. Is this
Speaker 1: amazing to you? The facility here from what you saw
Speaker 1: at college, what you were a part of, but now
Speaker 1: you see what the Bears have been able to offer
Speaker 1: you in terms of the best of fitness, the best
Speaker 1: of nutrition, everything that is best. This is the best
Speaker 1: football I've ever been a part of. This building, this facility,
Speaker 1: everything about it is just awesome. I'm blessed to be
Speaker 1: where I'm at. I enjoyed every single day. Don't take
Speaker 1: it for granted. I love it. You know, last year
Speaker 1: you said was the most fun year you ever had
Speaker 1: playing football. Was it winning or self improvement that made
Speaker 1: you enjoy that fun? Both? Since I've been here, I
Speaker 1: feel like I've gotten better each year. Each year is
Speaker 1: a step. But just to be able to win a division,
Speaker 1: that's just that was awesome to me being a being
Speaker 1: able to be a part of that. But personal wise,
Speaker 1: you know, as far as stats and all this stuff
Speaker 1: goes a stepping stone each year, I feel like I've
Speaker 1: taken a bigger step, more improvement, more production on the
Speaker 1: stat sheet. So all that stuff is coming together, you know,
Speaker 1: a little bit at a time. Not trying to take
Speaker 1: too many big steps, baby steps right now. So enjoying
Speaker 1: the personal growth but also enjoying the team wins. All right.
Speaker 1: So if you think about the fun and the fun
Speaker 1: elements you have in football, I could remember plays that
Speaker 1: still haunt me today from back in my career. Do
Speaker 1: you know your Can you remember your three sacks from
Speaker 1: last year? Yeah? I remember every one of my sex
Speaker 1: even in preseason, remember every single one of my sack. Okay,
Speaker 1: because all right, I'd like to go through this for
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. So I'm an offensive guard my
Speaker 1: whole career. You're a defensive tackle. And when I would
Speaker 1: get my stance, I would line up against and I
Speaker 1: would try to anticipate what you are going to do
Speaker 1: to me because I know the play call, I know
Speaker 1: the huddle. So the other night you come in, it's
Speaker 1: your first play. I'm an offensive lineman, I know snapcount.
Speaker 1: I set up and I get in kind of position,
Speaker 1: a defensive position to block you. You get your hand
Speaker 1: onto me faster than I did that. I got my
Speaker 1: hand on you, did you immediately know that you won
Speaker 1: that play? No, I didn't realize it into last the sideline,
Speaker 1: really I didn't. Like. I saw Rogers standing there, and
Speaker 1: once he stepped up, I grabbed him. But I didn't
Speaker 1: realize that I won the initial I didn't realize it
Speaker 1: was a straight like bullrush into watched the play. So
Speaker 1: when you got your hand to him, how many steps
Speaker 1: into you going forward? Did you know? While? Because again
Speaker 1: I've lived that position and I know how bad of
Speaker 1: a position that is to be. Ind I mean, you
Speaker 1: know it's gotta be he gotta feel that pretty quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I felt it. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I do go against a lot of guys that will
Speaker 1: feel the bull rushing, will sit on that. So I
Speaker 1: felt that's what he was doing. But once I seen
Speaker 1: it on tape, like I saw the replay on the
Speaker 1: Jumma tron, saw it on the iPads on the sideline,
Speaker 1: once I actually seen the play and seen I had
Speaker 1: him on one leg, then I was like old snap.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was like that. I thought. I
Speaker 1: just I thought he was sitting on the bull and
Speaker 1: was trying to get his base under him. And then
Speaker 1: we end up going to the ground, Roger step up.
Speaker 1: I grab him. But initially I was I wasn't even
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh I got this dude, I got him
Speaker 1: on the ground, let's go get this side. I wasn't
Speaker 1: thinking about that as watching the tape of it, I
Speaker 1: just I just know how awkward of feeling that is.
Speaker 1: So when little kids see did they ever ask you
Speaker 1: how much you bench? I've had? I've had younger kids
Speaker 1: asked me that. I Sometimes I really don't have an
Speaker 1: answer because I don't know if they actual for like
Speaker 1: a max or like what I did that pro day?
Speaker 1: Like how many reps I did at pro Day? Um,
Speaker 1: I have older people asking me what I've been right,
Speaker 1: that was that was my next question? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I don't I've been shape. So it's like I don't
Speaker 1: bench for you know, to get a max. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't do that at this level anymore. It's it's
Speaker 1: just to maintain strength, to get stronger. But but you're
Speaker 1: a big guy, so no matter wherever you are, you know,
Speaker 1: that's one of the questions I think it is going
Speaker 1: to be asked of you your whole life until here.
Speaker 1: The number one question I get is how tall I'm
Speaker 1: that's anywhere I go is hey do you play sports?
Speaker 1: How tall are you? If I'm in downtown Chicago, hey
Speaker 1: are you a Bears player? And it just depends on
Speaker 1: who it is. If it's a kid, I'll tell them yeah,
Speaker 1: you know ninety five. The best feeling is though, when somebody, hey,
Speaker 1: you're Roy from the Bears. Yeah that's me a big
Speaker 1: smile on my face. But just I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: real big on like a tension in public because I'm
Speaker 1: so big, so everywhere I go all eyes are on me,
Speaker 1: and it's like I hate that, Like I just like
Speaker 1: to go places and just you know, enjoy my time.
Speaker 1: But you know, being six six, as soon as you
Speaker 1: walk in the door, everybody's looking at you. Everybody sees you.
Speaker 1: So you'll get the how tall are you question? And
Speaker 1: you'll get the are you a football? Are you an athlete?
Speaker 1: You play basketball? Or you know, are you a Bears player?
Speaker 1: Do you play for the Bears? My next fun question,
Speaker 1: I think, because I think you'll probably get asked this
Speaker 1: would you rather be WWE or the World's Strongest Man?
Speaker 1: Because right now they got this show I watch every
Speaker 1: once in a while about these super events that these
Speaker 1: worlds strongest men are and there are different feats of strength.
Speaker 1: But then you also got kind of an appearance that
Speaker 1: could captivate an audience like The Rock did when he
Speaker 1: made the transition WWE. What's your you know, what would
Speaker 1: be your second passion? So a little A lot of
Speaker 1: people don't notice, but I was a big w wfan
Speaker 1: as a kid early, like elementary school, middle school, high school,
Speaker 1: and during that time, I wanted to be those guys
Speaker 1: the Rock Stone Cold can undertake all those dudes out
Speaker 1: a huge and they, you know, have successful wrestling careers.
Speaker 1: I wanted to do that. Um back in high school
Speaker 1: high school. I didn't think about football until like my
Speaker 1: senior year, until I looked at by schools. But why
Speaker 1: is that why? I mean, like, so if you're there's
Speaker 1: a little kid out there that has talent and he's
Speaker 1: just I don't know, shy to try out or not,
Speaker 1: you know, you know what is it that ignited you know,
Speaker 1: saying Okay, I'm gonna take Roy Robertson Harris what you
Speaker 1: were and now what you are becoming. I mean, I
Speaker 1: I just didn't enjoy football my first year playing. I
Speaker 1: was still living in Oakland, um left when I was thirteen,
Speaker 1: went to Texas, and everybody knows that Texas is like
Speaker 1: the football capital of the world. And it made me
Speaker 1: enjoy it because everyone was playing football, even people that
Speaker 1: didn't like football. Everyone was playing. So just being a
Speaker 1: part of that made me enjoy it more. And as
Speaker 1: I got older and learned to appreciate it, I started
Speaker 1: lifting weights, started running track. Just those little things helped
Speaker 1: me improve as an athlete. And then just every morning
Speaker 1: my dad had me working out. There's just made me
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Made me want to get in the weight room,
Speaker 1: maybe want to get, you know, on the field, and
Speaker 1: just enjoyed the game. So six six, two ninety have
Speaker 1: you ever been in a real three point stance? And
Speaker 1: I'm talking that he has a sixty or seventy or
Speaker 1: fifty number an offensive lineman. I played. I played right
Speaker 1: tackle my first year, my first year playing ball, I
Speaker 1: played right tackle. I wanted to be a receiver. I
Speaker 1: was sick. I was I was six one, one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty pounds in the eighth seventh grade. Were you
Speaker 1: a better receiver or a right tackle? I'll shoot, I
Speaker 1: don't even I couldn't even tell you that because I
Speaker 1: don't even remember playing right side. I'll just remember my
Speaker 1: first play out there. I threw a dude to the ground,
Speaker 1: got a holding penalty because I didn't know the process
Speaker 1: of like, hey, you need to shoot your hands to
Speaker 1: all that stuff. All right, Thanks Tom, We're gonna pick
Speaker 1: up our conversation with Roy Robertson, Harris ourrh coming up
Speaker 1: next here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy The Score.

Speaker 1: good to have you here at PNC Studios at ADASAU
Speaker 1: with our engineer pauls are ranging our producer Dan Barilli.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the the level of attention
Speaker 1: you're one snap got from last week's game, because everybody
Speaker 1: I'm running into showing me a highlight on their phone.
Speaker 1: And I know guys don't like to dwell on one
Speaker 1: small piece to a large puzzle that's about to be
Speaker 1: put together over the season, but in that one instance,
Speaker 1: and I had this conversation with your de line coach
Speaker 1: J Rodgers, just how many people in this sport can't
Speaker 1: make that play? Not everybody can make that play the
Speaker 1: way you made that play destroying a guard, putting him
Speaker 1: on his back, reaching out being held, and then snatching
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback with one hand and ripping
Speaker 1: him down to the ground. Be sensitive how you say
Speaker 1: destroying a guard, Well, it was all I know, and
Speaker 1: I felt it every step. It was destruction and no
Speaker 1: disrespect at all to Lane Taylor outstanding offensive linement. But
Speaker 1: to me, that that encompasses everything that you're capable of,
Speaker 1: down in and down out. When that is put in
Speaker 1: that context, what goes to your mind is I'm explaining
Speaker 1: that about how the few people can make that play.
Speaker 1: It just makes you want to go out and do
Speaker 1: it again. M everybody talks about that one play, but
Speaker 1: I don't want that to be the one play that
Speaker 1: I have for the twenty nineteen season, So I want
Speaker 1: to be able to do it again. It's all a
Speaker 1: good hand placement and just get off all that stuff
Speaker 1: that we're coached to do. And I just got the
Speaker 1: better of it. There was a scout that one time
Speaker 1: told me and Tom, I don't know you, you've probably
Speaker 1: heard me talk about this, But the beauty of scouting
Speaker 1: players who can do that one tenth of one percent
Speaker 1: of the entire world population has the ability to take
Speaker 1: that one step that makes a play or the hand
Speaker 1: placement has much power to drive somebody back for that
Speaker 1: instant in time. That's the joy of scouting. When you
Speaker 1: find guys like that, you can't wait to get him
Speaker 1: on your team. And I think that's the beauty of it,
Speaker 1: because this could be simplifies it's just run, tackle, pass, throw, catch,
Speaker 1: you know, No, it's it's much more than that. Marrying
Speaker 1: the physical attributes that your guide given size and what
Speaker 1: you've worked to build your body up, marry that with
Speaker 1: the technique and the fundamentals. I think that's what that's art.
Speaker 1: To me, that's art. I know that is for you
Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman as well. Do you see it
Speaker 1: that way too? I mean, anybody could be you know,
Speaker 1: six six two nine, but if you don't have the coaching,
Speaker 1: the technique, everything that you're taught to do, then you'll
Speaker 1: just be out there six six two ninety Guys it's
Speaker 1: all technique. You saw coaching. Um, you know stuff that
Speaker 1: I see a Kim Do you know Kim. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: he's six five three ten three twenty. He ain't just
Speaker 1: out there going his bulling guys. Tech his technique is there.
Speaker 1: He's not just bull rushing. He's swiping guys. You know
Speaker 1: his technique. He's a technician. He's out there. You guys
Speaker 1: seen him in practice. You've seen what he does. He's
Speaker 1: he not does doing it overnight. He's working that stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's little stuff that I feel like I'm working
Speaker 1: on trying to get better at. But like I said,
Speaker 1: it's that one play. I want to do it again
Speaker 1: and again and again. Um, But it's all it's all
Speaker 1: how you approach it, how you take coaching. UM want
Speaker 1: to continue to do stuff like that throughout the season.
Speaker 1: But you know, one of the things that Jay Rodgers
Speaker 1: says about you is he's surprised that you could go
Speaker 1: from an edge of rusher to the messy world of
Speaker 1: the defensive line play because you know, when you're out
Speaker 1: there on the outside and you have the outside container
Speaker 1: rush or you're trying to win sacks to the outside man,
Speaker 1: you bring it down inside you get in a four
Speaker 1: point stance, You're gonna be hit by a lot of
Speaker 1: different guys in a lot of different directions. That's kind
Speaker 1: of a neat thing for the defensive line coach to say,
Speaker 1: because it's hard to transitioning whether you're going defensive line
Speaker 1: to become an offensive lineman or outside the inside. You
Speaker 1: got to be willing to take that abuse. I mean
Speaker 1: it was. It was a lot harder for me to
Speaker 1: transition from defensive lineman outside lineback when I first got
Speaker 1: here because of the different route concepts I had to
Speaker 1: pick up. I had to go outside the box and
Speaker 1: cover guys right. That was something that I've never done before.
Speaker 1: So people, oh, man, how was the transition from oil
Speaker 1: B to D line. Well, I was a D lineman
Speaker 1: in college. People don't realize that I was at the
Speaker 1: four down d N so I was in the trenches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was an outside guy, but I was able to
Speaker 1: rush inside. I was able to play nose and play
Speaker 1: all across the board. Um, but people will think that
Speaker 1: I was just a stand up guy my entire career
Speaker 1: as an athlete football player and just coming in and
Speaker 1: being moved inside. What was your old moment in pass coverage,
Speaker 1: when this past, this pass, any time you're like whoa um.
Speaker 1: Double teams in general, whether it's passed or run. Just
Speaker 1: I didn't take on them any double teams in college.
Speaker 1: So double teams are one of the things I'm trying
Speaker 1: to continue to grow in. Is that give you a
Speaker 1: lot more, Give a lot more respect for what Eddie
Speaker 1: Goldman goes through. He's doubled at. Eddie is one of
Speaker 1: the most underrated and underappreciated knows defensive defensive linement in
Speaker 1: the league. I just went on the air this weekend
Speaker 1: said he's the most underrated defensive player possible. He is,
Speaker 1: he Eddie, And it's the thing. Eddie just he does
Speaker 1: what he does and he don't say nothing. He doesn't complain.
Speaker 1: I've never well, I've only heard Eddie say five words
Speaker 1: since I've been here. But Eddie takes on double teams,
Speaker 1: triple teams. It doesn't a plane out one bit. He
Speaker 1: just does what he does and he goes on get
Speaker 1: ready for the next play. Coming out of college, you guys,
Speaker 1: I think you're seventeen and thirty four in college as
Speaker 1: a down, as a down defensive lineman. Did you get
Speaker 1: the ball run at you a lot, or did they
Speaker 1: still continue to throw the ball regardless of what the
Speaker 1: lead was or I mean it was a mix we
Speaker 1: I mean I got a lot of run to me,
Speaker 1: run away, a lot of screens away like it was balanced.
Speaker 1: I wasn't a guy that maybe we can't run the
Speaker 1: ball against this guy or towards this guy. Wasn't It
Speaker 1: wasn't nothing like that. I wasn't. I wasn't like a
Speaker 1: keen coming in college. You know, I wasn't one of
Speaker 1: those crazy dominant players in college. What they didn't want
Speaker 1: to run the ball away from me. It wasn't like that, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, well that's surprising. You know. I think when
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at coming out of college,
Speaker 1: because I you know, it's you know, you pass the
Speaker 1: eye test, you got the structure, you got the size
Speaker 1: and the frame that you can you can invest in.
Speaker 1: Um are you? Are you surprised at where you came
Speaker 1: from to where you're at right now and what you've
Speaker 1: been able to accomplish. Does that surprise you? Or is
Speaker 1: it the right team, the right organization, the right position,
Speaker 1: coach and everything. Yeah, exactly what you just said. I
Speaker 1: feel like the team that I'm on perfect fit, perfect defense.
Speaker 1: Coach is doing his best job with me. I feel
Speaker 1: like Jay does his awesome job coaching me as well
Speaker 1: as everybody else. I think I'm just in the right
Speaker 1: position where I'm at the right position, right team. Everything.
Speaker 1: I think everything played out the way it should have.
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned Jay like that. Do you look
Speaker 1: forward to going to practice every day because of every
Speaker 1: single day because you don't know what you might learn,
Speaker 1: some little thing to make a difference. Yeah. When I
Speaker 1: first when I first moved, it was a little it
Speaker 1: was a little difficult because I was still learning the
Speaker 1: scheme and um, you know, taking on taking on a
Speaker 1: right tackle in the NFL is a lot different in college.
Speaker 1: So just getting my technique right my first my first
Speaker 1: year at defensive end, it was kind of a struggle.
Speaker 1: But now I feel like I approach it a lot differently, like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's get this right. You struggle with double teams, all right,
Speaker 1: Let's let's get as many half line runs as you
Speaker 1: can and get that stuff right. Just little stuff that
Speaker 1: I could get better. Everybody talks about last week's game,
Speaker 1: but I'm not thinking about that. I'm looking at how
Speaker 1: I can get better and do it again next week
Speaker 1: because I can enjoy it last week and forget that
Speaker 1: I have a game on Sunday. You know, Be where
Speaker 1: your feet are? Yeah, what's it all mean? And I
Speaker 1: love it? Man? Is it more than just football? Oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's the whole point of Absolutely. But for me, it's
Speaker 1: for football. Um, Like I just said, with last week's game,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not thinking about that. People are still
Speaker 1: talking about, oh man, you had a great game. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a great game. But I want a great season.
Speaker 1: I want a great career. But I'm not looking down
Speaker 1: the line to week fifteen. You know, I got week
Speaker 1: two right now to what's today's Friday. So right now
Speaker 1: I'm doing the radio show with y'all, and later on
Speaker 1: I'm getting the tub and get off my feet and
Speaker 1: getting my iPad and you know, go over the stuff
Speaker 1: that I need to go over. And then tomorrow I
Speaker 1: got Saturday. I got walked through, but I got filmed.
Speaker 1: I still gotta watch. You know, be where your feet are.
Speaker 1: Don't think about tomorrow, don't think about the next day,
Speaker 1: don't think about what just happened last week. To just
Speaker 1: be where your feet are, you have to prepare for
Speaker 1: the for the games that you're about to play, and
Speaker 1: it's it's what it says a great I mean, it's
Speaker 1: great advice. I love it. I love when Chuck tells
Speaker 1: us that I love it. It's I feel like, one
Speaker 1: of the best things that you could tell a player
Speaker 1: at this level. That's one thing I wish I had
Speaker 1: heard when I was in college. You know, just be
Speaker 1: where your feet are, don't don't think too much, don't
Speaker 1: be a thinker. I was always my problem is thinking
Speaker 1: too much. Overthinking Really still to this day, I have
Speaker 1: that issue just overthinking. That's two of us. That's two
Speaker 1: of us. Well, when you think though, what happens Town
Speaker 1: think your beat. We'll take a break with Right robertson
Speaker 1: Harris Town There Jeff joniac here on Chicago Sports Radio
Speaker 1: six seventy to score. The Chicago Bears Network presents Inside
Speaker 1: the Bears, brought to you by Verizon. Anthony Adams and
Speaker 1: Lauren Screeden cover the world of Bears football on and
Speaker 1: off the field, every Sunday night at ten thirty five
Speaker 1: pm on Fox thirty two Chicago, or watch anytime at
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears dot Com or on the Bears official app.
Speaker 1: Kind Enough to join us here tonight. Roy Robertson Harris,
Speaker 1: I mentioned double a here. You've done big big guys
Speaker 1: in small cars, is that right? Or big small guys?
Speaker 1: How come I'm never asked? How come I'm never asked
Speaker 1: to be on? Have you been on? Yes? You have?
Speaker 1: Of course? Who hasn't everybody? Somebody? I think it'd be
Speaker 1: a great study to have me on that show. But
Speaker 1: he's shrinking up. Have you seen him? I haven't seen
Speaker 1: Spice in a wall. Wow, he's a bunch. I think
Speaker 1: I saw him. I saw him on the sideline warm
Speaker 1: ups against Green Bay, but I haven't seen him in
Speaker 1: a while in the building. Yeah, he's his whole persona.
Speaker 1: You know, he may have to reinvent another kid. He's
Speaker 1: looking good. We talked about that, you know that earlier,
Speaker 1: that transition from you know to medium size the big
Speaker 1: where you're at now? What do you want to do
Speaker 1: when you're done? And it seems like everybody gravitates towards that,
Speaker 1: trying to get to get to the smaller side. I
Speaker 1: definitely hope I'm not huge when I'm done playing because
Speaker 1: I love to eat. I love eating, so I hope
Speaker 1: h stage just keep the blood moving. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta stay in the gym. You know,
Speaker 1: my my little boy's gonna be playing sports, so I
Speaker 1: gotta keep up with him and make sure I'm training
Speaker 1: to him. I don't want to just be watching them train.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm setting the example and
Speaker 1: out there with him in the hot sun. How he
Speaker 1: was he three? Yeah, So how's it going? I last
Speaker 1: time you were with us? Yeah, it was a great
Speaker 1: conversation about being dead. He's doing good, man, He's he's
Speaker 1: doing his thing. He's he's being a three year old.
Speaker 1: If anybody has kids, know how three year olds at? Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly what you got past the terrible twos. Now I'm
Speaker 1: dealing with the table three years. Well, that's a good thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is a good thing, you know. And I just
Speaker 1: want to get back to the defensive line. Just one
Speaker 1: more question is so you know you make this transition
Speaker 1: you've been around for a little while. If you know,
Speaker 1: a few thousand reps underneath your belt, are you at
Speaker 1: a position where you can self coach yourself. You do
Speaker 1: a one on one, you do a rep, you see
Speaker 1: something on film that now I think that's this a
Speaker 1: significant sign to the development of a good player is
Speaker 1: when you can finally coach yourself. Do you feel you've
Speaker 1: had enough reps to do that? Absolutely? Um. At the
Speaker 1: end of every year that I play, I always go
Speaker 1: back and watch all of my run tape and like
Speaker 1: just specifically runs, and then I'll go back watch all
Speaker 1: the passes. And it's every single time I do that,
Speaker 1: there's so many plays that I was like, man, I
Speaker 1: left I left too many sacks out there. I left
Speaker 1: too many tackles out there. I could have made this player,
Speaker 1: could have did that, could have, should have, would have.
Speaker 1: But right now, like we're going in a week two
Speaker 1: after watching Green Bay tape, I'm like, Okay, I could
Speaker 1: have did this better. I could have did that. My
Speaker 1: feet were terrible on this play. I gotta make sure
Speaker 1: I get my feet right. My hand and my hand
Speaker 1: placement needs to be better. Somebody asked me after the game, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you had a great game, and you guys, you know,
Speaker 1: how do you feel he played well? I missed four opportunities.
Speaker 1: I missed two sacks. I feel like I had another
Speaker 1: three players. I know I missed a tackle. I miss
Speaker 1: a few few too many players. Then it's all technique
Speaker 1: We'll get in the film room. Man, if you if
Speaker 1: you do it like this, this will happen. So I
Speaker 1: feel like that's when guys are coachable. They are able
Speaker 1: correct the mistakes themselves, and that's what I want to
Speaker 1: be able to do continue to do. What about reading
Speaker 1: offensive lineman? You know, some of the smartest defensive lineman
Speaker 1: I've ever played with, as they were reading the towels
Speaker 1: at the offensive lineman, we're giving them so you break
Speaker 1: you coming to the huddle on those guys are in
Speaker 1: their stances or in whatever position they can take. Can
Speaker 1: you feel their balances and stuff at this point in
Speaker 1: your young career. Yeah, I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1: I've done a better job of being able to read
Speaker 1: an offense, knowing what players are coming. But I saw
Speaker 1: that's all when you study. Whenever you're studying your opponent.
Speaker 1: And that's why you get guys that are going to
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl every year, going All Pro first team.
Speaker 1: They do that because they prepare very well throughout the week.
Speaker 1: You know, people outside of football think that, and these
Speaker 1: guys come in and they're awesome, They're they're one of
Speaker 1: the best. What are that way? Because they prepare throughout
Speaker 1: the week. The only thing that people see is you're
Speaker 1: dressed in the in the jersey, in the helmet. They
Speaker 1: don't see what goes on in between those sundays. They
Speaker 1: don't see that we're in here watching take five hours
Speaker 1: out of the day and then going outside the practice
Speaker 1: where we just watch. Right, it's all preparation. How do
Speaker 1: you avoid bad habits as a as a defensive linement?
Speaker 1: Because keep talking about technique, but sometimes you just lean
Speaker 1: on what you what you know, where your origins come from. Right,
Speaker 1: that's what the practice is for, though, you just have
Speaker 1: to get out of those bad habits. Um. A bad
Speaker 1: habit for me is I play with high pads, which
Speaker 1: is understandable. Yeah, but it is understandable giving your says,
Speaker 1: but I can't use an excuse of oh I'm six six,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue to play tall like Calais is six eight.
Speaker 1: But Klais learned that he learned at some point in
Speaker 1: his career learned how to play with lower pass and
Speaker 1: put him in great position to make plays. Um. So
Speaker 1: I mean that's what absolute practice is for. And you
Speaker 1: and that's what we were talking about, like you were saying, Um,
Speaker 1: do you get excited to go to practice. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I want to correct those things. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be content with Oh well you're playing with high pass.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know it's because I'm six six. We'll know.
Speaker 1: Let's get under the shoot. Let's go work half line,
Speaker 1: and let's get this stuff right. So you can't make
Speaker 1: those plays plain to people that don't know what the
Speaker 1: shoot is and the half line and all that. The shoot.
Speaker 1: The shoot is when you know we get our getoffs
Speaker 1: in the shoot. If you playing too how you hit
Speaker 1: your head on the bar, which I've done countless times
Speaker 1: I've hit and I'm thinking like, okay, let me make
Speaker 1: sure i don't hit my head on the bar. I'll
Speaker 1: come up out of my stands. I'm too ai I
Speaker 1: hit my head on the bar. And then half line.
Speaker 1: Half line is half line. You're rolling up about at
Speaker 1: the stands when the ball snapping, two old lineman are
Speaker 1: coming at you. You gotta play the blocks that they
Speaker 1: give you. You gotta have great technique in order to
Speaker 1: win half line because the ain't no linebackers, so the
Speaker 1: mold lineman gonna stay on you. You got a lot
Speaker 1: of You've got a lot of reps in the preseason
Speaker 1: and there's been so much conversation, and now that week
Speaker 1: one is in the bucks, how do you feel about
Speaker 1: the amount of time that you had in games, about
Speaker 1: the attachment of the practices to whatever times you didn't
Speaker 1: get in the games. Did you feel good coming in
Speaker 1: the last week's game. Yeah, I feel like I feel
Speaker 1: like we prepared well. I feel like I did a
Speaker 1: good job of preparing. Um. You know, I'm not a
Speaker 1: I'm not a guys man. I want all these snaps
Speaker 1: I want. I want to get my snaps when they're
Speaker 1: given to me, whenever the opportunity is given. That's what
Speaker 1: i want, my opportunities. But I'm not gonna I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be down on myself or coaches if I'm not
Speaker 1: getting the right amount. Um, No matter when coach puts
Speaker 1: you in, they're gonna evaluate you if you get four
Speaker 1: snaps or you get fifty snaps, They're gonna evaluate you
Speaker 1: for those four snaps that you get. So I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of the snaps on giving with
Speaker 1: its all in preseason, all the regular season. You know,
Speaker 1: however mean it is, I'm being evaluated each one. Well,
Speaker 1: it's like you talked about they don't see a Sunday
Speaker 1: through Sunday when you go to training camp and you
Speaker 1: see that you got a period that you're probably going
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen one on ones or or double team,
Speaker 1: you know type of work there, right, You know every
Speaker 1: one of those players are being evaluated ex equally as much. YEP,
Speaker 1: for sure. Roy Robertson Harris, our guest. One more segment
Speaker 1: to go with the veteran now defensive linement of the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears getting ready for a trip to Denver to
Speaker 1: take on the Broncos on Sunday at three twenty five.
Speaker 1: You can hear it on News Radio seven eighty and
Speaker 1: one or five point at FM WBBM. Break here on
Speaker 1: Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the Score, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Bears All Access here at PNC Studios at Alishan, Jeff Joning, Act,
Speaker 1: Tom There and our guest, Roy Robertson Harris getting ready
Speaker 1: for a trip to Denver for the first road game
Speaker 1: of the year to take on the Denver Broncos and
Speaker 1: see his old coach, Vic Fangio on the sidelines. You
Speaker 1: catch some of that money and I you know a
Speaker 1: couple of things he had specs on. He had the
Speaker 1: glasses and you know, he's not used to being on
Speaker 1: the field. It's flat out. He's a easy guy that
Speaker 1: would like to be upstairs, but as a head coach
Speaker 1: that's not the case. But boy, a lot of love
Speaker 1: in the building for that man, and I think everybody
Speaker 1: wishes him great success, except for Sunday. Absolutely definitely appreciate
Speaker 1: Vick giving me a shot while while he was here.
Speaker 1: And you know, one of the best defensive minds in
Speaker 1: the game. I found an interesting time back when he
Speaker 1: was a rookie, somebody did an article on him and
Speaker 1: it just struck me. I usually don't look at these
Speaker 1: little things, but a bunch of favorites, So favorite players.
Speaker 1: He mentioned former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, La Ram's defensive end,
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn, a guy from the Oakland Raiders by name
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack now a teammate. But uh, that was what
Speaker 1: somebody wrote about you. I don't know if it's all
Speaker 1: what you said, but is that pretty a pretty accurate
Speaker 1: description of your favorite NFL players at the time and
Speaker 1: now working with him? Yeah, man, college, whenever I was playing, um,
Speaker 1: I was a big Robert Quinn fan, just based off
Speaker 1: of his build. Coach, my coach will say, you know,
Speaker 1: find a guy that you feel like you resemble, and um,
Speaker 1: he was one of the guys I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: being as tall as he is, he's fast off the ball. Um,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to model my game like Robert Quinn. Mac.
Speaker 1: Mac was just a he was just a dude. Um.
Speaker 1: I grew up in Oakland, so I was a Raider fan.
Speaker 1: The fact that Mac went to the Raiders, I just
Speaker 1: followed his game and everybody knows what he has done
Speaker 1: since he's been in the league, so there's no need
Speaker 1: to explain. But um, he was also a guy that
Speaker 1: I wanted to be like, wanted to play like. Uh So,
Speaker 1: now being able to play with Mac is is pretty awesome. Um.
Speaker 1: Just learning from him, just learning the game from him
Speaker 1: when it comes to pass rush and um, just learning
Speaker 1: how to be a better pro every day. You know,
Speaker 1: Vic took away the music in Denver. You can't make mantelaire.
Speaker 1: So when you're something new is being installed, you gotta
Speaker 1: pay attention. You gotta know it. Um. Where are you at?
Speaker 1: Are you a fan of the music at practice? I'm
Speaker 1: a fan of music at practice. I feel like it
Speaker 1: gives a guy's juice. Yeah, do you dance a lot?
Speaker 1: Because you know, we we sit up there and we
Speaker 1: watched practice every day. And it amazes me that how
Speaker 1: often every everybody dances. What about you? Are you a
Speaker 1: practice dancer. I'm not a dancer dancer. I'm more like
Speaker 1: when a certain song is on and all my boys
Speaker 1: are dancing, I'm I'm I'm the hype man. So like
Speaker 1: when Nick and the Kim and my boys are dancing,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'm the hype man. I hype them up,
Speaker 1: and uh, y'all get one little dancing. I got the
Speaker 1: little toe tap. That's just about it. So CLUBB Dub.
Speaker 1: When you get into a winning locker room, are you
Speaker 1: shoulder pads off immediately? Are you kind of dwelling in
Speaker 1: this fun and this success? And you know, I'm shoulder
Speaker 1: pads off, cleats off, and I'm watching my boys dance.
Speaker 1: I'm watching them. I get excited to watch my boys
Speaker 1: go crazy after a win. Um. Now when we score
Speaker 1: we get a turnover that I'm running down to the
Speaker 1: ends one with them. I'm getting in the picture. I'm
Speaker 1: celebrating with them, like I'm doing all that but when
Speaker 1: it comes to dancing, I'm not dancing, not really my thing.
Speaker 1: Roy Roberts and Harris our guest. You know you're doing
Speaker 1: a lot in the office. She's had a camp. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've had it more than yeah. I had.
Speaker 1: So I had my second one. This is my first
Speaker 1: one was in Dallas at my high school and then
Speaker 1: my second one. I just had UM in Chicago a
Speaker 1: week before training camp. And that's working with Big Brothers
Speaker 1: Big Sisters. Yea, yeah, yeah, so my marketing team, King
Speaker 1: Sports Entertainment, they put the whole thing together. Um. We
Speaker 1: worked with Big Brothers, Big Sisters UM during the season
Speaker 1: as well as offseason. But we had UM a few
Speaker 1: of their kids from their program come by and then
Speaker 1: UM a lot of kids from the West Side of Chicago. UM.
Speaker 1: So it was awesome. We had paintball there, they had
Speaker 1: laser tag set up. We had pizza hut and power hands.
Speaker 1: They have weighted gloves UM for training and uh, the
Speaker 1: kids enjoyed it. This. You know, it's all about the
Speaker 1: kids and UM. You know one of my main goals
Speaker 1: is a guy playing at this level is just inspired
Speaker 1: young kids because I didn't have that growing up. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't have guys in the fl NBA come in
Speaker 1: and and doing stuff like that. So I just want
Speaker 1: to impact kids, whether it's here, whether it's back in Texas,
Speaker 1: uh in al Passo. Like I joined my teammate Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones for Green Bay, him and his brother, they had
Speaker 1: their camp in al Paso, so I was able to
Speaker 1: be a part of that and they had I think
Speaker 1: almost two thousand kids one day, a thousand and the
Speaker 1: next day, you know, eight hundred, nine hundred. You can
Speaker 1: get your hands on him on last Saturday or last Thursday,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I did. I had one tackle his rookie year.
Speaker 1: I had one tackle on him. Now was just about it.
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, that's that's my guy. We came we
Speaker 1: didn't come in together, um, but he didn't red Shirts.
Speaker 1: So we ended up playing freshman, sophomore, junior year together
Speaker 1: and then I left. It's his brother with the Redskins,
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and Ovens with the with the Ravens. Um
Speaker 1: he's doing this thing at linebacker. And then we've got
Speaker 1: a few other guys around the league, Will Hernandez, Eric Tomlinson,
Speaker 1: my boy Cedric Lane. So we've got a few few
Speaker 1: guys in the league. Is there any one standard question
Speaker 1: at that A majority of those kids who want to
Speaker 1: ask you either you know from your size, or about
Speaker 1: another player on the Bears, or you know, what is
Speaker 1: their thrill point. They asked me about mac Y when
Speaker 1: I when I'm around kids, they always ask if I
Speaker 1: know Khalil Beck. Yeah, so yeah, I know Khalil I
Speaker 1: see I see him every day. He's a good guy. Um.
Speaker 1: But the first thing they see the Bears look at us,
Speaker 1: first thing to ask is about Khalil. Yeah, it's what
Speaker 1: you might expect. Yeah, right, of course, no question about it.
Speaker 1: So you got your Star Wars shirt on it last
Speaker 1: time we met. I know that's natural thing. So, um,
Speaker 1: I don't think I've gotten past like the first three
Speaker 1: or four back when I was a younger man. But
Speaker 1: the Rise of Skywalker? Is that coming out here right
Speaker 1: in December? Yeah, I was gonna say November. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think December twentieth. As I looked at it, I looked
Speaker 1: it up, I looked, Okay, there we go. I just
Speaker 1: know that's the anticipation. Like, so, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I don't know how I felt about saying this on
Speaker 1: the radio. But Disney. Disney is kind of jacking this.
Speaker 1: It's missing, it's messing it up for me a little bit.
Speaker 1: Disney is making it a little too kid friendly compared
Speaker 1: to the ones I grew up on, So Phantom Menace,
Speaker 1: Attack of the Clones, Refriends of the City. They were
Speaker 1: all very serious, and then every now and then you
Speaker 1: have like maybe a laughable moment like episode one, jar
Speaker 1: Jar Binks was a laughable guy. Everybody laughed at him
Speaker 1: because you say funny stuff. Now it's like every other scene,
Speaker 1: like the first scene and the last one they had
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker just throwing his lightsabe. But I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: that's not Star Wars. That's not that's not the Star
Speaker 1: Wars we came up on, Like Luke, No, that's not No,
Speaker 1: that's so off rip. As soon as I saw that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I don't think I'm gonna enjoy this
Speaker 1: too much. And I'm just saying I didn't really enjoy
Speaker 1: the last one that much. I wasn't too fond of it. Um,
Speaker 1: what was the what was the first one with Kylin
Speaker 1: ran When they started making the new ones, I can't
Speaker 1: tell you. That shows how much of a Star Wars
Speaker 1: fan I am, but but no, the other ones were
Speaker 1: pretty good. Rogue one was good, Solo was pretty good. Um,
Speaker 1: but Disney's kind of uh, it's a little iffy for me.
Speaker 1: I did this summer. I did go to Disneyland. I
Speaker 1: took my kid and um and my niece to Disneyland
Speaker 1: and and Galaxy As was pretty awesome. They did their
Speaker 1: thing with that. Um they've got stormtroopers walking around and
Speaker 1: I took a picture with you, Bodka. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Did they have those things where you say if you
Speaker 1: can't get on the ride unless you're this tall, but
Speaker 1: that you got one for you. You You can't because you're
Speaker 1: this I was actually able to get on all the
Speaker 1: kid rides with my son, so that was that was
Speaker 1: pretty cool to be able to do that. Pictures and
Speaker 1: videos all that stuff. So he'll never forget it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you won't. He won't remember it yet, but I
Speaker 1: won't forget so we'll saw all the pictures and videos
Speaker 1: when he gelded all right with our movie critic Roy
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris. That's gonna wrap us up, big fellow. Have
