WEBVTT - Matt Eberflus on the Bears Developing in Loss | Coaches Show 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.160 Welcome into the Bears Coaches Show featuring head coach mattybert Leus, 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:05.360 and a pleasant good evening every one. I'm Jeff jonahyak 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.400 with you into eight o'clock tonight here on WBBM. Good evening. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.200 How are you feeling, good evening? How are you doing? 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.119 I'm doing all right. I guess I'm waiting for the snow. Yeah, 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.400 I think it's coming. Yeah, you know, I don't know 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:17.440 if you know this, but I'm a former media ralgy 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:19.200 major back in college, but I do not know that. 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.840 I couldn't pass calculus to save my life, so I'm 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.160 a sportscaster. I think it worked out all right, there 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:25.720 you go. But I do get a kick out of 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.760 these storms. And there's something big coming later in the week, 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.480 so you know, you have to factor that in, right, 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.400 because hey, what if it is a true blizzard and 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.960 guys can't get here for practice on Thursday, for example? Yeah, 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:36.720 that's right, that's right. What does heaven spend the night 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.440 on Wednesday? Just way ahead of me? Matt, there you go, 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.280 you way ahead of we got we got the hotel 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.120 right down the street. Yeah, that does help. Another fight 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.600 to the finish. The games have been entertaining, the fans 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.440 are getting a kick out of it. Obviously everybody wants 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.440 to win. But another loss, and one that kind of 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.680 needs to be put in context in my opinion, because 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.200 while you have a roster for a reason, a deep roster, 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.600 it gets uh hit with injury during the course of 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.360 a game and you got to adjust. You played the 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.240 best team in the league. You even admitted best complete 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.200 team in the league, down several key players, and you 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.920 made it a one score final. Yeah. Yeah, So you know, 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.479 the message to the players after the game was simple 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.240 that we have to learn how to finish, you know, 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.119 the the and close those moments out. And uh, there 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.280 are plenty of moments there where we could have executed 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.640 better to finish with a win, you know, in that game. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.560 So again my hat's off to Philadelphia. You know they're 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.920 a good football team. But again, it's all about us. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.440 It's how we how we do things, how we execute, 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.959 and us having championship habits and we got to finish. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:40.680 Even as a head coach, I know you got to 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.080 talk to your team the way you just explain right there, 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.039 But is there an irritant aspect of a seven game 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.800 losing streak to you as a head coach, knowing you 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.600 guys are given their best man, they're they're working hard, 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.720 they're playing hard to the finish, they're getting respect from 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.320 the opposition. Uh does it? It's still it is weigh 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.840 on you a little bit because how you even tired 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.880 of saying the same old thing, we're not finishing game. Yeah. 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.200 Uh no, I mean because I think that it's we're growing, 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.440 you know. I also think in the same respect, I 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.560 think we're growing a lot. You know, we are getting there, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.560 and it's guys that are learning in the moments, you know. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.079 So our quarterbacks learning every single time. It was great 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:15.560 to see him take that drive down there in a 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.520 minute thirty seven, you know, to score touchdown late. I 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.120 thought that was great operation and he did a nice 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.320 job finding a wide open DP. You know, so that 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.679 was cool. Um. You know, in our defense, you know, 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.799 our defense is playing better than the last two weeks. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.040 You know, our run defense is really good yesterday, the 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.120 takeaways we're awesome. I mean we expect to have that 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.200 every single Weekum. So there's moments in there. There's a 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.040 lot of good things we're doing too. So we were 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.320 growing before our eyes and the Athletic. The publication that 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.120 John Greenberg, the columnists wrote the Bears that might not 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.200 be learning how to win, but they're developing in these losses. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.240 And that's your point. And I think that's a proper head. Yeah, 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.120 I would say that that's that's a good heading, because 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.480 we are developing as we go here and again we're 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.880 getting a good chance to see a lot of good 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.679 a lot of players. You know, we got a chance 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.760 to see you know, you know, Leatherwood yesterday, you know, 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.240 and again you know, with solid and you know, so 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.640 we're getting a chance to see a lot of these 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.760 guys and guys coming up. I mean in an emergency, 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.600 Symbol Webster caught his first NFL catch. Yeah, very great 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.239 to see him. He had a good punt and pin too. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.480 He was really good there. Uh you know, obviously came 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.079 in there and he's very smart. You know, Symbol is 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.640 a smart guy that could play all three spots and 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.799 and he's been doing his work and it paid off. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.000 There's not a guy in that practice squad that wouldn't 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.880 love to get just one even one snap and just 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.519 put something on tape. Right. No, that's right, that's that's 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.359 the dream, right, so that's Uh, it was good to 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.519 have him up all right fields versus hurts. Uh. It's 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:36.920 it's one modern day football snapshot with both number ones, 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.080 and it's probably gonna look this way until further notice 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.119 in the National Football League, isn't it. Yeah, I would 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.080 say so. You know, it's the it's the style that 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.000 we're we're accustomed to now. Um, you know it's started 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.760 to change, you know, back in college and it's it's 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.160 it's up into the pro game now. So again, you 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.360 got to use use these guys smart in a smart 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.840 way because they are your your franchise quarterbacks. So it's 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.880 important that you do a good job of protecting him too. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:04.120 We're gonna get deep into Justin and his performance injury update. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.320 I know more will be announced tomorrow. This is a 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.080 short week. We're playing on Saturday, but there's a lot 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.400 of concern just from fans about Tevin Jenkins because of 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.080 the imagery, the visual of him being taken off. I 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.680 know it's precautionary anybody has a neck injury or a 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.400 spinal injury of any court sort. The medical staff is 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.279 going to treat this just the way they did on Sunday. Yeah. Yeah, 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:24.680 And they did a good job. They were out there, 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.960 there were a thorough did a good job of putting 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.120 him where he needed to be, you know, to protect him, 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.880 and it was all signs are good right now. I 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.880 can't give you any more information than that. It's encouraging. Again, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.640 he's going to see some specialists as a double check everything. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.760 But we'll see where it goes because of that image, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.839 even for your players, everybody off the bench checking in 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.839 on him on the field. Again, it's the first couple 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.320 snaps of the game. Do you then have to say 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.240 something to the team because you wonder what goes through 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.760 everybody's minds and something like everybody knows it's as a 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.920 game that you know your season could be ended in 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.720 one snap, but God forbid something serious that could end 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.200 your the way you live your life. Yeah, it was. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.120 It was positive when we're out there because he was 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.360 moving his hands, which was just great. So when we 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.400 saw him moving, so I think a lot of players 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.040 saw that and I think that was encouraging to them. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.760 As we were on the field, all right, we got 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.680 Jack Sanborn, Equomenius Saint Brown, Jalen Johnson had some ribs. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.479 So we'll get into all that as well. But a 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.400 heck of a third down and ten play for EQ. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.720 I mean he's got to be irritated about that too. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.800 Twenty yard catch, that's that's a great play to start 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:27.440 the first drive. Yeah, it's a great play. You know, 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.159 we end up having a couple of penalties in that 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.120 first drive, you know, a couple of false starts, and 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.479 we overcame it with a great third down conversion there 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.960 by eq so Um getting a great pass by Justin. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.080 You know, Justin had a really good, really good protection 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.120 on that play and he delivered the ball right on 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.280 time to a great in cut and then eq took 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.840 it up the field. For some in a long time 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.479 since i've seen an illegal formation on an opening kickoff. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.479 I don't know if you've ever even been a part 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.760 of something like that. But yeah, that was White was 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.599 quite understand what was calling act. Yeah, so there's you know, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.680 obviously you got to be ten yards you know, beyond 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.719 the kick and then there's a there's a fifteen yard 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.200 area we got to have your players are in there. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.680 That's a recent rule. And you know, Elijah just had 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.440 his foot touching the line, you know, it was barely 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.279 touching it. He can't have it touching the white and 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.320 it was and they called illegal formation. Yeah, good return 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.760 by Vailis on that nonetheless. All right, so Philadelphia, they 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.640 take care of the ball better than any team in 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.560 the league. Jalen does as well. Came in with just 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.120 three interceptions, and you get two interceptions and a fumble recovery, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.200 just like New England out of the out of the 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:24.840 mini buy, you come out of the by with this. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.039 I don't know if that's just the pounding of the 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.760 emphasis that that plays into it, or it just bounced 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.479 your way this time. But that's their third game only 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.839 with multiple turnovers for the Eagles here, so it's rare 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.480 for them and good for the Bears. I'm sure you're 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.320 pleased with that aspect of it. I mean, it's great 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.560 to have Gordon back, you know, and you know a 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.800 lot of times that's players. You know, players make plays, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.920 and Gordon made a certainly made a couple of nice 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.040 plays on the ball, you know, with that recovered fumble 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.800 in the interception, you know, and then DHC what a 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.960 great play he had by you know, getting over there. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.960 He's the middle of the field guy, he saw where 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.560 he was looking, stepped in front of it and made 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.799 a nice play. So, um, my hat off to those guys, 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.799 and they did a good job. They're setting our offense 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.680 up to score, you know. The one time we didn't 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.800 get a score there where we got to punch it in. Um, 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.680 but we at least got to come away with field goals. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.360 But we love touchdowns. And the end of the thing 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.440 about that, the positioning of the players led to the play. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.080 The anticipation, Gordon said. So they looked like he was 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.920 eyes going to aj Brown over the top as opposed 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.760 to a tip pass. You want any way to get it. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.880 But I love the fact of positioning there in the 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.360 right place. Yeah, that's all. That's all part of it. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.680 You know. I thought our guys did a good job 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.200 was setting these guys up fields in the pocket, dodging 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.320 it around, he's hitting from behind. Escape credit runs left 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.320 forty five forty fields to the thirty in the Eagles 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:43.400 bricks at tackle twenty fifteen, ten five spins to the end. Time. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.080 That's the best run of the year in a year 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:51.360 of so many justin fields. What forty a ling on 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.960 the field is at the gold back crazy yarder bounds 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:58.640 at the nine yard line, he's a first down Chicago, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.040 We'll take it. We come back to the Bears Coaches 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.760 Show with Bears head coach Matt Eberflus. Great seats available 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.000 to see your Chicago Bears this season at Soldier Field. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.480 Get your tickets at Chicago Bears dot com slash tickets. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.160 All Right, I lost my mind. Wound up being a 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.640 thirty nine yards scramble on second and twenty seven. You 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.680 don't have plays for second in twenty seven, but with 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.280 Justin Fields, gosh, darn it, you do. Yeah, yeah, it's 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.520 h you know, it was a really good play by him, obviously. 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.520 So on that play, you know, Son Ridck end up 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.880 making an inside move and then kind of doing a 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.200 Dwight Freeney spin back to the outside and end up 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.920 getting him a little bit too high, and he shrugged 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:34.520 him off, you know, he threw him off there and 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.960 then he took off. You know, So what a dynamic 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.319 run there. There were some really good blocking at the 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:41.920 end of that though, you know, Vayla Stones did a 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.880 nice style of blocking at the very end of that, 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.439 and you know, the receivers always do that for us, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.080 and it was unfortunately just stepped out barely and but 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.520 what a heck of a run. Maybe white shoes instead 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.400 of orange, and then they wouldn't have seen it. I've 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.800 always said it, right, have you? Yes? I have yep, Amen, hallelujah. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.240 See no detail goes unnoticed by Mattieberflus. Yes, oh, I 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.120 tell me more about that. Yeah, because you know, when 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:05.960 you have a white shoe, you know, if there's a 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.559 little bit of blade of grass there, you know, it 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.679 kind of blends in right there. You can't really tell 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.280 what's inconclusive. So I've always said that receivers and guys 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:14.840 that have the ball in their hands should be wearing 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.760 white shoes. But it's not quite as stylish, I don't think. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.240 But no, no, but maybe a little convincing yeah, in 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.160 the future for just you know, it's about touchdowns, baby, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.760 it's about touchdowns. I know there have been some great runs, 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.400 but that one tops the list because it emphasizes a 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.400 couple of things. One, he's very difficult to tackle. You 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.560 really got to square them up, and even then he 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.400 could still step out of the tackle because of his 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.000 lower body strength. I believe the moves, the joking, and 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.120 like you always say, he's as fast as he needs 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.760 to be. And I think that is not a small comment. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.320 The fast as he needs to be thing gears that 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.800 this guy has. It was a magical run. You know 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.199 he's at several of course, but it's fun to watch. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.079 You know, he's on the far side, you know, from me, 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.720 so I had I had a little bit of a 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.559 distance to look, and I was just like, wow, he's 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.320 just he's gonna take this thing all the way. He 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.400 was out like a way before and then he ended 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.560 up going spinning back inside and then taking it. So 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.719 it was pretty pretty cool how the quarterbacks would just 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.280 run out of bounds there. That's right. So here's a 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.560 quote from Lucas Patrick on his Instagram account right after 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.719 that play. Evidently Justin Fields continues to do things no 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:20.680 person can do. Elite. Darius Lay called Fields a highlight reel, 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.680 pointed to his toughness and competitives to keep fighting. I 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.240 guess we're gonna have to come up with a lot 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.079 of words to describe him. You know, he continues to impress. 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.400 And what's most impressive to me is how he's leading 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.800 our football team. You know, he's in there with offense, defense, 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.760 all the special teams guys, and he's doing a great 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.679 job of leading from the front. And that's what we 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.319 want him to do. Why special teams, Well, because it's 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.120 our football team. So he's going in these the special teams. Well, 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.200 he's just he's touching everybody in the building, you know. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.319 So he's touching everybody. Doesn't matter what position you play, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.240 doesn't matter what union you're on, he's gonna touch. You know, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.480 he's gonna lead from the front. At the podium. You 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.559 light up when you talk about Justin Fields. Yeah, you 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.320 can see it on your face. Yeah, he's in. He's 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.720 special because he's not only a special player, he's a 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.600 special person, you know. So he has grit, he has toughness, 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.920 he has everything you're looking for in a competitive person 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.120 that he leads your football team. Luke gets He says 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.320 he's the most competitive person he's ever been around. Now 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.000 that's saying a lot. Yeah, Yeah, he's he's very competitive. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:17.600 You know. He ranks up there with the best of 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.400 them for sure. All Right, let's talk about his passing. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.880 He was finished a one nineteen five quarterback rating, second 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.760 highest in the league. This week Monday Night Football yet 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.920 to come without four of his top receivers, sack six times, 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.720 and against the number one quarterback rated defense in the 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.720 NFL fourteen to twenty one. I know, the Sex knocked 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.320 down the overall net yardage, but two passing touchdowns. Where 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.560 was there anything of substance yesterday of concern about the 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.760 way he played? Maybe the short passing game. Still some 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.960 of those throws. It was windy out there, for sure, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.960 you know when you throw in different directions out there, 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.560 the wind was playing with the ball for sure. You know, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.600 in certain directions. You know, as you guys know, the 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.080 wind swirls there in in Bear Stadium at Soldier Field. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.520 And but certainly he's got to make you know, make 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.679 those better a little bit. But overall, really good performance 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.880 by him. So he sets the single season record for 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.000 the Bears. He hits a thousand one or three quarterbacks 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.360 to do it's been done over all four times now 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.520 chasing Lamar two h six away. That's about seventy yards 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.640 a game. He did the quick math. You know, if 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.560 he has a chance, he'd be great. But I think 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.040 he'd rather win games. Yeah, Like I said, you know, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.360 it's just more about us setting things up to win 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.160 the football game. So if that's justin you know, running 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.400 the ball a few times or not as much. That's 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.000 what we're gonna do to win the game. All right. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.480 That pass rush of the Eagles, and it's good be 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.520 our last one before we take a break here as 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.720 you saw it on tape again against us, What were 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.640 your thought? Yeah, I really noticed Reddick. I noticed sweat, 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.839 you know, a hard grave. Those guys really popped out 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.000 to me. You know, in terms of the pass rush, 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.360 they did a really good job of creating one on 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.320 one situations and there wasn't There was a lot of 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.720 good stunts in there we saw. I thought they ran 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.120 those really nice and violent, and we have to do 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.360 a better job with passing those off. Kelsea, how the 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.400 ball snaps it back? That hurts quickly, hurts in the 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:02.560 pocketar plenty of time surveying directing right, flag flies throws 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.280 intercepted by Kyler Gordon back Krederling, It picks it up. 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:11.120 Kyler Gordon just jumped high en up to swipe Jalen Hurts, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.360 only his fourth interception this year off and holy the Eagles. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.360 That'll be the clide calling.

Back on the Bears 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.280 Coaches Show with head coach Matt Eberflus. Just heard Kyler 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.920 Gordon's second interception of the Your first one came against 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.040 New England again out of them. Then he buy great 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.800 to have him back there. Overall, a big job against 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.400 those receivers in that quarterback by the Seconday. We're gonna 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.199 get into it here about that, but just start with Gordon. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:42.920 We'll go from there. Yeah, it was, first of all, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.760 I was glad to have him back, you know it was. 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.440 He brings great energy out there, a great passion. Um. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.280 You know, we end up blitzing him some, which is 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.480 always good. He's a good blitzer, you know. And then coverage. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:54.920 He's got a great set of hands. You know, he's 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.800 really got ballhulking ability. He displayed that yesterday, um, you 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.720 know with that nice high point catch and also when 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.800 he scooped up the fumble. You know, he have to 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.760 have ball skills to be able to do those things 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.720 that fast. And he did a nice job with that 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.960 Chiquon Brisker back as well. And his presence is felt certainly. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.400 I did love the blitz call. I did love the 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.520 blitz call I saw coming. I thought this is kind 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.960 of cool. But as you said, picked the wrong gap 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.040 or went to the wrong gap and that allowed for 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.240 the touchdown. But I didn't know this, but Brad Biggs had. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.960 The Tribune did an article on him from back to 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.360 the Lackawana College and nine sacks and safety and not Lackawanna. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.920 So again, different brand of football, but he's got that ability. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:35.840 He does, he does. It was great to have him back. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.920 He tackled well, um did a really nice job disguising 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.840 our coverages. I thought he did a really good job 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.840 of that as well. And he's a hitter and he's 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.840 a really good blitzer, and we're gonna keep sending them, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.640 you know. So he's he's always done a good job 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.640 with that. He's he's a big body that can get 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.800 guys down. You know. These quarterbacks are big and strong, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.000 you know, so we have to have send a guy 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.680 that's strong enough to get him on the ground. So 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.080 and he is. So we're excited about where he's going. 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.760 And he's gonna have a nice set of three games 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.800 here coming up. Let's talk about the pass rush. Would 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.720 you say it was better yesterday? I mean there was 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.480 once there. It was pressure moments and hurt Scott hit 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.880 more than he has lately. Yeah, I would say it 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.600 was good. You know, we you know, we ended up 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.760 pressure and I think it was seventeen times um yesterday 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.000 and that was good, good to see. And we had 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.800 some unscotted looks that we haven't shown, which is really good. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.360 But uh, you know, overall our front four Dickinson pressure, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.120 you know, I know, Gibson had a hit on the 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.560 quarterback a couple other times, wet you know, Joe Joe 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.600 had the sack you know, on the one pressure. So 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.400 that's always good to see. But we have to increase 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.960 that and keep that going. And I thought the Eagles 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.880 might try to pound the ball and just get out 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.440 of dodge and run. You know. Were you surprised that 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.640 they didn't They didn't do it. They didn't do it 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.280 until later in the game. Yeah, Um, I wasn't. I 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.600 don't know. It was with the weather the way it was, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.560 I was a little bit surprised by that, you know, 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.600 And uh so, but I thought we were doing a 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.280 good job of stopping the run. You know, we were 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.080 pretty pretty slamming at home. Pretty good. Um, I thought 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.600 we took away what they wanted to do well, what 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.160 they've done well in the past, and they had to 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.720 go to some of the alternative runs and again they 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.480 popped one of those. Um, we were we fitted up right, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.600 We just gotta make a tackle there. Let's talk about 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:16.240 Jalen Johnson. There have been all sorts of opinions about 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.240 the performance because you look at one hundred and eighty 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.920 something yards by a j. Brown, but he only caught 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.000 half of his balls. There were four pass breakups or 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.680 three pass breakups by Jalen. Once saved the touchdown. He 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.280 got the blitz from Gordon on the sixty eight yarder 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.240 and he's he's in his hip pocket. The ball's got 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.640 to be perfectly thrown and it was trying to make 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.160 the tackle. Didn't make the tackle. But I thought it 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.600 was a really, really good show by Jalen Johnson yesterday. Yeah. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.600 I thought it was competitive. You know, he's going against 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.480 a good receiver. I mean, that is a good receiver, 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.120 and for that many targets, I thought he did a 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:49.680 good job. You know, obviously he'd liked to have those 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.920 two fade balls back where he you know, was playing 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.480 the ball. You know, bust to try and go and 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.360 play through the hands. That's all. It's all about timing though. 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.960 He's all about timing it up. But again, like you said, 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.400 he had three pass breakup against a really good receiver. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.520 He was competitive and we like where he was. We 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:08.080 need a sponsored segment. This teaching moment with Mattieberflus is 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.640
