WEBVTT - Nagy, Pagano on 4-1 start | Coaches Show 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.040 And a pleasant good end to me, everybody, and welcome 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:04.000 into another edition of The Bears Coaching Show with Bears 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:06.680 head coach Matt Nage twenty to nineteen winners over the 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:09.160 Tampa Bay Bucceteers four and one now through five weeks, 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.559 Jeff Joniac with you here until o'clock tonight, and Bears 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.239 defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano in here tonight as well, coming 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.360 up shortly after seven thirty. Hope you had a triffic weekend, Matt, 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.600 what'd you do well? I watched a lot of football 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:21.759 and got some family time for a little bit, which 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.800 was good. But the most part was just getting getting 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.480 onto these Carolina Panthers. We'll talk about that because they're 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.680 they're surprising team to a lot of folks. Right now. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.080 We'll get into all their style and substance and whatnot. 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.839 But you know, it's hard to relax because there's so 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.680 much going on, and you intimated before the season it began, 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.600 this was the way it was going to be. So 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.120 are you finding it difficult to just get in flows 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.279 because there's these starts and stops and issues that go 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.519 on that pop up that cause you to make a 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.960 lot of different decisions that just can't be your decision alone. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.920 And we refer to obviously the positive COVID test for 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.279 Badara Trevoor and what that meant for the whole weekend. Yeah, 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.480 what it does. It's like a domino effect. And I 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.320 think you know, every day as long as you live 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.280 this year in twenty twenty, that expect the unexpected to 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:07.880 know that every day is going to be a little 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.920 bit different, and you don't panic, you don't get it 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.280 out of sorts. And that's kind of the pattern that 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.680 Ryan and I have taken and going after this thing. 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.400 But you know, our players have also done a really 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.080 good job. I mean they just listen whatever they trust, 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.280 and they listen to what the schedule is or what's 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.679 supposed to happen, and they're rolling with it. I think 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.880 you feel that in the record. You know, it really 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.759 doesn't matter what the score is. Our guys come out, 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.160 they trust, they play hard, and we try to put 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.920 it all together. Yes, that has been the case, no 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.319 doubt about it. Three come from behind wins and the 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.480 defense on the field at the time of those wins 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.440 to finish the job. You're getting the clutch play when 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.200 you need a clutch play, And I guess in the end, 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.280 all that really matters is who makes a clutch play 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.720 win in this league because it is a one score league. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.360 It is, And I think that what you're feeling right 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.559 now with these players on this team is that we're 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.080 having guys do that at the right time. And as 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.080 a coach you really appreciate that because in big moments 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.760 they're stepping up big time. Can we get better in 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.040 a lot of areas, absolutely, but the players know that 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.360 and the coaches know that, so we just want to 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.519 you know, the way we look at is, hey, listen, 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.840 when we get this thing put together, specifically on offense, 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.320 and we really get motor and in doing things how 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.440 we know we can do it with our defense and 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.040 our special teams, we think we can have something special. 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.959 Is it difficult? Though? At the same time living on 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.560 the edge? Are you okay with living on the edge? 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.080 Because it strike me is that type of guy? At 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.800 the same time, though, yeah, we're kind of liking it 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.920 right now. Not that way. I'd rather live on the edge. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.400 When you have the lead, you don't have to get 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.040 the lead, you know. So there's gonna be too many 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.959 games in the NFL are decided by seven points or least. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.400 So any way you look at this thing, you better 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.440 be ready to be able to make a sack at 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.840 the right time, throw a lobbed first down to the 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.600 half back down the left sideline at the right time, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.680 be able to tip the ball, be able to make 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.880 a few goal at the right time. And that's what's 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.799 happening to us right now. Well, you're ten and three 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.520 since last season and games decided by seven points or less. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.640 So that's that's a big number for a team that 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.760 has playoff aspirations and for a team that's learned how 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.160 to win under Matt Naggy. Yeah, and that's a that's 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.760 really cool for our players to know where they're at. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.560 And I think you just know you're always in it. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.400 I mean, we've we've obviously dug our whole hole for 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.360 for ourselves a few too many times this year, but 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.679 we've come back. Now, let's win the other way, you know, 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.600 Let's get up big and let's put them away and 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.840 we have a lot of games left and so that 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.000 that'll be really the goal. Why are you five and 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.640 oh on short weeks in your career. I don't know, 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.560 you know, I didn't even I have no idea. I 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.000 saw that the other day, but I had no idea 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.040 up until then. I think the biggest thing is, you know, 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.640 regardless of what happens the prior week, it's making sure 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.080 that you take care of the players on those those 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.240 short days that mentally you're doing the right thing, and 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.400 then when you get out there and you play the game. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.440 I mean, our guys are the ones playing, and so 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.760 I've just been fortunate with our players that they're they 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.200 get right, they get their mindset right, and then they 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.160 go out and they do well. Got wind of your 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.600 news conference, and I guess the best we described a 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:11.279 little agitated about the details of what's going on offensively 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.360 from down to down week to week, if you could 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.080 put it into the right context for the for the 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.640 fans out there, and what has your dander up about 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:24.120 that and what's the fix? Well, so you usually like 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.200 to I do at least give myself, you know, at 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.520 least twelve hours some people say twenty four, but at 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.600 least twelve hours to get over the emotions of the game. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.839 Just as a head coach and then as an offensive 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.839 guy and a play caller, you want to make sure 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.599 when people ask you questions that you've watched the game 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.800 before you answer the questions or make make it, you know, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.400 a comment. And so you know, time went by and 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.719 I was able to settle down and then wash the tape. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.320 And when you see the tape, you know the tape 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.760 doesn't lie, and there's just none of these are critical errors. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.640 You know, there's it's one thing if it's a critical 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.200 error and it's a bad play in a bad moment. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.560 But what's happening that I noticed was these are just 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:09.040 little little details that aren't happening that you know, the 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.680 common viewer will not notice and you'll say, well, you're crazy, 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.080 there's but we're not crazy. The details do matter, and 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.960 that's the little things that if you, for instance, on 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.320 a route, if you take too too many steps, that's 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.320 the difference of a defensive back. We're reading a quarterback 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.160 who's thrown on time and pick six in it taking 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.400 it the other way because it wasn't run at the 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.600 right depth or the right steps. And so now there's 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.920 times when the quarterback and throw with different footwork rather 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.600 than you know, and it's not the way. So I'm 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.400 not picking on anybody, but it's just when eleven people 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.800 do it the right way, it's hard to stop. And 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.159 now on the coaches too, right, like myself, we gotta 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.760 put ourselves in that same ability, like are we giving 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.400 our players the best chance in situational football? Are we 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.920 calm and cool? Are we giving them opportunities to give 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.320 a good play where they don't have to make too 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.240 many adjustments and so that all comes into play. Do 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.880 you feel that details are being attended to on practices? 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.440 I mean, are they doing it on practice but not 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.000 taking it to Sunday necessary? Well, they are. And again, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.520 like you know, I'm really happy with the way our 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.719 guys were practicing right now. We have some really really 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.960 high energized practices. The guys are they're all in with that. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.320 So you know, for whatever reason, you know, this hasn't 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.559 been a common theme every game. It just so happened 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.479 to feel like it was that game. Now, I'll also 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.599 say this, on a short week right when you're on 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.040 a short weekend, we didn't run any any reps live 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.520 in practice. Sometimes I can get you. So what I'll 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.200 do is I'll probably chalk it up to that, and 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.279 now we'll grab their attention and see what they do 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.839 this week. You're gonna get a ton of questions about 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.160 the run game again. But you know you've brought it up, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.280 and you also have to look at what you were 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.680 playing and if it's just not working out, why beat 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.000 your head against the wall. How do you look at Yeah, no, 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.800 the same way. I mean, you know, running the football. 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.240 You saw what we did the first few games. We 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.400 were really I mean shoot, the first game of the 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.160 season into the second game. I think on first down 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.640 we were leading the league first down run run. You know, 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.039 yards per attempt and so yards per carry. Well, we 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.520 gotta get back to that. And you know it's ironic 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.160 that you face these two rush defenses like they are 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.560 the last two weeks and it happens to match up 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.520 with a new quarterback. So um, you know, for us, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.160 what we gotta do is just stay cool, calm and 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.880 collect and not panic and don't go away from it. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.600 You still gotta run the football, So how are you 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.480 gonna do it? And let's figure out a plan and 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.200 let's go attack it. Blitz just coming back to throw 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.960 Foles gonna love it up in the air. Montgomery the 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.880 catch over the top of the linebacker and it started 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.600 the thirty yard line to the twenty five. That's a 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.120 veteran moved by Nick Foles, and he lobed it over 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.680 the top of a wheel route to David Montgomery. Throw 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.160 by Nick Foles and David Montgomery popped in between a 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.560 triangle of defenders on that game winning drive on second 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.640 and eleven. Folds is under pressure. But Matt Nagg's we 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.160 get back to the Bears coaches show here, That's not 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.800 the easiest catch in the world. I'd imagine that that 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.720 throw that Nick made um was special too. You know, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.680 he backpedal and he anticipated how that linebacker was going 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.640 to try to undercut the throw to the flat, and 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.320 so he floated up in the air and threw it 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.200 to a spot. And then you know, I was talking 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.160 to David after the game and I told him I 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.320 can see his eyes get real big, and he told 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.120 me the reason is that ball got kind of lost 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.960 in the light, so he was really trying to focus 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:18.720 on the ball and and he did a great job. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.520 But that was certainly a big play at a big moment. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.800 Is he getting more opportunities in the passing game because 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.800 of his development in that regard? Yeah, No, without a doubt, 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.240 he's he's he's improven there and I like that he's 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.000 worked hard in the off season at that part of 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.360 his game. Um. You know, David is a really well 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.640 rounded football player, and as a running back, he's where 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.280 we have a you know, he's just he's a special 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.360 running back. So anytime you can get him the ball, 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.440 if it's not running the ball um for a certain reason, 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.559 then if you're if he's doing things out of the 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.120 battlefield and it's it's a it's a plus for our offense. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.640 What's the impact of losing James Daniels. Yeah, it's a 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.760 big one. You know, James worked so hard to get 0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.320 to this point. He's putting in a lot of work 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.640 in the off sea and he put on some good weight. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.920 You can see his confidence really growing. Um. So anytime 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.440 you have a significant injury like that, it's it's hard, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.920 you know, but he's a he'll work hard to get 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.800 to get right and to get back on track. I 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.160 know it's a big blow to our offensive line, just 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.200 the the unity and the communication part. But we'll look 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.400 forward to you know, the next guy up mentality and 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.280 embrace it. Time to talk a little bit about Alex 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:24.880 Bars since you've gotten to know him here in the 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.040 last couple of years. Is he's trying to learn this 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.680 system and find a role for himself. Yeah, you know, 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.040 alex Is he's a really hard worker. UM that you 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.760 you understand, He's he's smart, he understands leveraging technique. He's 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.839 a big guy UM as well. So you know, that's 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.280 never the easiest thing to do, to jump into a 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.800 game right away like that. And but he'll continue to 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.440 work hard at his craft and and um and do 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.560 a lot of good things. Do you have any way 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.079 of finding out how many miles Cordell Patterson runs in 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.719 a game, because I'll tell you, you know, it's one 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.760 thing to be, you know, on field offensively, but and 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.040 it's another to have you know, now three already one 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.800 hundred plush yard games in the kick return aspect. He 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.840 had three all of last year, which led the league. 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.880 So he's got three and five weeks already, and I 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.800 don't know if they're gonna keep kicking to him. But 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.120 then he's covering punts. He's running a lot. He is, 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.680 he is, and he does that in practice a lot. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.360 He'll take some Scout team wraps in practice just to 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.280 stay in condition, but he runs a lot and he's 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:24.640 a guy that a lot of guys don't want to 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.760 hit because when he's going so fast, he's such a 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.040 big guy. So we want to keep that going. And 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.200 I know he just embraces that role and anytime he 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.880 touches the football and a lot of good things can happen. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.280 Just get me north and south and runs with a 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.240 full head of steam. I mean you talk about guy 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.199 running with reckless, abandoned. I mean, that's that's a tough 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.320 guy to bring down. That's a train coming, no doubt. 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.480 That's who he is, you know, And so that's why 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.240 being able to kind of get him the ball in 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.520 certain areas, whether it's handing off or doing different things 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.520 on offense. You know, we're just gonna keep plugging away 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.559 at that. I'm using Nick Foles words and I think 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.679 you and I used it to preview the matchup, not 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.160 only against the Colts but also the Buccaneers. Is you're 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.680 going to be in a fist fight and that's what 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.680 happened in both cases. Is that important? Yeah, they're seeing 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.480 that for sure. It's a mentality. You gotta be mentally tough, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.920 mentally strong, and there's gonna be different games that you're 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.200 in where you can get mentally exhausted and break down 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.440 and you're not tough. But our guys aren't doing that. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.200 They're they're showing a big time resilience and staying together, 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.800 finding different ways to win our defense being out there 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.720 on the field at the end of these games. You know, 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.320 from the very first week until this past week with 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.040 Tom Brady, that's not easy to do. So they they're 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.880 starting to get more and more confidence. There's different things 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.720 we're trying to get better out across the board as 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.280 a team. But again, to be four and one is 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.600 a good thing for us and we gotta just keep growing. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.120 Does your Chicago Bears fandom go beyond the game?

And what 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.000 quarterback wouldn't Matt Well, No, I mean it's it's when 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.960 you have a guy that's, you know, six foot seven, 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.440 has that wingspan and the ball skills that he has. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.160 It's a friendly target. So they have a great relationship. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.720 They build a great relationship here in the in the 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.839 off season and training camp. Their lockers are near each other, 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.800 so they're able to communicate to each other. And I 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.720 think you're seeing and you only see more and more 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.200 here moving forward. Welcome back to the Bears Coaching Show, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.360 brought to you by Whippley, CPA's and Consungs with Bears 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.559 head coach Matt Naggy, Jeff Jonik with you Duay to 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.200 clock tonight. Let's talk about the hit by Kyle Fuller 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.679 and Kasham Vaughn. Perfectly timed up, but that was a 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.479 difference making hit for the game. Yeah, that was huge. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.360 It was right down there in front of me and 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.240 you you saw it, you felt it, you heard it. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.000 You know what a big play in that moment that 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.440 we needed. And that just kind of speaks to what 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.360 Kyle's been doing this year. Not only is a great 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.439 defensive back, but he'll come and hit you too and 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.800 set the toad. And that was a big time play 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.960 for us that that we've fed off of him. Yeah, 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.440 he's playing at a very high level. And what you 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.079 think about Jalen Johnson because with every great quarterback he faced, 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.920 see he's just notching mile post so to speak, in 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.199 the development of his young career. But he still looks 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.080 and plays like a veteran out there. He does. I 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.400 think that's probably his biggest strength is that he doesn't 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.920 he doesn't get affected by a negative play. I mean, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.840 that's going to happen in this league. He's very He's 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.160 just he's got a really good moxie about him that 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.800 I like. Um doesn't say a whole heck of a lot. 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.600 He just kind of comes out and does his job. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.839 And you feel that. So between him and Kayle out 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.079 there and the Edges feel like we're in a pretty 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.000 good place. They're playing fast in your opinion, and because 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.320 that's what you want for the whole team. Oh yeah, 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.280 they're sensing again. The only the only game that I 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.600 didn't think they played very fast and and they know 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.280 it was, was Detroit Week one. And there's a lot 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.040 that goes into that. I mean, there was it was 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.560 It wasn't an easy environment, but they channel and our 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.520 coaches challenged them and they stepped up to the to 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.200 the deal. Now. So they're every game so far, they've 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.440 been affecting quarterbacks. And when you do that, you're always 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.240 gonna have a chance, and the turnovers will come, the 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.000 sacks will come. Some of them came last week, but 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.440 they're they're they're really playing fast. Three ten play drives 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.120 that ended in field goals. I'm certain you'd like to 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.200 get those drives a little shorter so you don't have 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.640 your backs up against the wall. But overall, do you 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.480 like everything that they're doing. I don't know if you 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.600 care if if it's it been no break or is 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.280 that a term that you're okay with, But in those situations, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.240 you know, sometimes that's gonna happen. Yeah, And again, I 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.440 think as you play certain teams, you might get some 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.880 of that more than others. You might get a quarterback 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.360 that's a little more aggressive, and so there's opportunities to 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.160 get to football on turnovers and it flips the field. 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.200 But if the team is going to just kind of 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.400 dink and dunk or try to run the ball between 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.720 the tackles and and and churn out first downs. Then 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.920 when they get down inside that red zone, you gotta 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.800 make them kick field goals or at least attempt them. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.680 That's what we're doing right now. The sacks, the turnovers, 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.520 I think that stuff's gonna come the short field for offense. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.560 The only negative to the to the Benbitt don't break 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.360 is at on the flip side. Offensively, that's time of 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.560 possession and it keeps it out of you. And so 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.080 you need to be so effective when you have the 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.400 ball on offense with that time of possession, and if 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.160 you're you know, if you're not getting the ball out, 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.280 it can be a problem. So but our our defense, 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.440 I'm really happy with playing. All right, let's talk Carolina, 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.320 since you've had an early crack Adam uh tell us 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.840 about what Matt Rule is doing, what kind of system 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.000 they're throwing and this youngest offensive coordinator in league, and 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.280 I think you can appreciate that the challenge of that 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.240 for Joe Brady. Yeah, No, you know, coach Rule does 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.200 a really good job overseeing all three phases. You know, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.280 he's got an experience in all three. I you know, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.280 I can remember the days back when he was coaching 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.840 at Temple and UM, and now you know, I think 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.400 he's a really good leader and you guys trust and 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.720 what he's building there. You can see it on you know, 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.240 winning three games in a row offensively with Teddy Bridgewater 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.480 back there. Um, we saw what Teddy can do last year. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.640 We'll play he gets someone the same side. You know, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.120 Mike Davis is having a you know, he's had some 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.840 some really good games here with with McCaffrey out, and 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.280 then they got speed on offense. On the outside it 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.320 was wide receiver. Now they can fly, so what of 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.960 our handsful there? And then defensively, I think you're seeing 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.000 a little different scheme that that's coming from the college world, 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.720 that that they do some different stuff there, mixing it 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.600 in here or there. But they got guys that are 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.640 trusting the system and you know they just they really 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.960 play hard and they fit well together. So um, for 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.120 us to go down on the road and go see 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.920 this team that's well coached, we got to make sure 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.120 we have our a game. I read where you know, 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.160 he says the same things you do. He wants fast 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.920 and physical. So you're looking in the mirror a little bit. Yeah, no, 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.000 you you definitely feel that, you know, you feel the 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.920 speed on on both both sides and special teams, and 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.360 that's something that's an identity that they want to have. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.320 They fly around and move to the ball, so you 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.560 better be ready for it for that speed. When you 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.480 referred to more of a college style defense, what do 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.720 you referring to? What are they doing? Yeah, they do. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:01.720 You know, they have a little bit of a little 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.600 package where they play an odd front with they just 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.600 it'll look like, you know, they'll have three three down 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.080 line and no one else on the ball, you know, 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.600 and so it feels like it looks like you should 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.200 be able to, you know, do some good things versus that. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.679 But they want you to think that. They want you 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.199 to know that they do a good job with it. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.600 So it's just a matter of of you know, understanding 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.240 that what they do when they do it and um 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.280 and again they're they're well coached, so it's it's fitting 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.199 what they do. All right, Well, good luck in your 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.120 preparation this week. We'll talk to you again next week. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.160 He's Jeff First down to the sixteen yard line. Motion 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.879 man Tyler Johnson snap from center play pick the Jones 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.000 and pretties down Donovan Smith beating again by KELLEL. Mack 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.119 his second sack of the night. Welcome back to the 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.399
