Speaker 1: Welcome into the Bears Coaches Show featuring head coach mattybert Leus,
Speaker 1: and a pleasant good evening every one. I'm Jeff jonahyak
Speaker 1: with you into eight o'clock tonight here on WBBM. Good evening.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling, good evening? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right. I guess I'm waiting for the snow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's coming. Yeah, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this, but I'm a former media ralgy
Speaker 1: major back in college, but I do not know that.
Speaker 1: I couldn't pass calculus to save my life, so I'm
Speaker 1: a sportscaster. I think it worked out all right, there
Speaker 1: you go. But I do get a kick out of
Speaker 1: these storms. And there's something big coming later in the week,
Speaker 1: so you know, you have to factor that in, right,
Speaker 1: because hey, what if it is a true blizzard and
Speaker 1: guys can't get here for practice on Thursday, for example? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. What does heaven spend the night
Speaker 1: on Wednesday? Just way ahead of me? Matt, there you go,
Speaker 1: you way ahead of we got we got the hotel
Speaker 1: right down the street. Yeah, that does help. Another fight
Speaker 1: to the finish. The games have been entertaining, the fans
Speaker 1: are getting a kick out of it. Obviously everybody wants
Speaker 1: to win. But another loss, and one that kind of
Speaker 1: needs to be put in context in my opinion, because
Speaker 1: while you have a roster for a reason, a deep roster,
Speaker 1: it gets uh hit with injury during the course of
Speaker 1: a game and you got to adjust. You played the
Speaker 1: best team in the league. You even admitted best complete
Speaker 1: team in the league, down several key players, and you
Speaker 1: made it a one score final. Yeah. Yeah, So you know,
Speaker 1: the message to the players after the game was simple
Speaker 1: that we have to learn how to finish, you know,
Speaker 1: the the and close those moments out. And uh, there
Speaker 1: are plenty of moments there where we could have executed
Speaker 1: better to finish with a win, you know, in that game.
Speaker 1: So again my hat's off to Philadelphia. You know they're
Speaker 1: a good football team. But again, it's all about us.
Speaker 1: It's how we how we do things, how we execute,
Speaker 1: and us having championship habits and we got to finish.
Speaker 1: Even as a head coach, I know you got to
Speaker 1: talk to your team the way you just explain right there,
Speaker 1: But is there an irritant aspect of a seven game
Speaker 1: losing streak to you as a head coach, knowing you
Speaker 1: guys are given their best man, they're they're working hard,
Speaker 1: they're playing hard to the finish, they're getting respect from
Speaker 1: the opposition. Uh does it? It's still it is weigh
Speaker 1: on you a little bit because how you even tired
Speaker 1: of saying the same old thing, we're not finishing game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh no, I mean because I think that it's we're growing,
Speaker 1: you know. I also think in the same respect, I
Speaker 1: think we're growing a lot. You know, we are getting there,
Speaker 1: and it's guys that are learning in the moments, you know.
Speaker 1: So our quarterbacks learning every single time. It was great
Speaker 1: to see him take that drive down there in a
Speaker 1: minute thirty seven, you know, to score touchdown late. I
Speaker 1: thought that was great operation and he did a nice
Speaker 1: job finding a wide open DP. You know, so that
Speaker 1: was cool. Um. You know, in our defense, you know,
Speaker 1: our defense is playing better than the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: You know, our run defense is really good yesterday, the
Speaker 1: takeaways we're awesome. I mean we expect to have that
Speaker 1: every single Weekum. So there's moments in there. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of good things we're doing too. So we were
Speaker 1: growing before our eyes and the Athletic. The publication that
Speaker 1: John Greenberg, the columnists wrote the Bears that might not
Speaker 1: be learning how to win, but they're developing in these losses.
Speaker 1: And that's your point. And I think that's a proper head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say that that's that's a good heading, because
Speaker 1: we are developing as we go here and again we're
Speaker 1: getting a good chance to see a lot of good
Speaker 1: a lot of players. You know, we got a chance
Speaker 1: to see you know, you know, Leatherwood yesterday, you know,
Speaker 1: and again you know, with solid and you know, so
Speaker 1: we're getting a chance to see a lot of these
Speaker 1: guys and guys coming up. I mean in an emergency,
Speaker 1: Symbol Webster caught his first NFL catch. Yeah, very great
Speaker 1: to see him. He had a good punt and pin too.
Speaker 1: He was really good there. Uh you know, obviously came
Speaker 1: in there and he's very smart. You know, Symbol is
Speaker 1: a smart guy that could play all three spots and
Speaker 1: and he's been doing his work and it paid off.
Speaker 1: There's not a guy in that practice squad that wouldn't
Speaker 1: love to get just one even one snap and just
Speaker 1: put something on tape. Right. No, that's right, that's that's
Speaker 1: the dream, right, so that's Uh, it was good to
Speaker 1: have him up all right fields versus hurts. Uh. It's
Speaker 1: it's one modern day football snapshot with both number ones,
Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna look this way until further notice
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, isn't it. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say so. You know, it's the it's the style that
Speaker 1: we're we're accustomed to now. Um, you know it's started
Speaker 1: to change, you know, back in college and it's it's
Speaker 1: it's up into the pro game now. So again, you
Speaker 1: got to use use these guys smart in a smart
Speaker 1: way because they are your your franchise quarterbacks. So it's
Speaker 1: important that you do a good job of protecting him too.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get deep into Justin and his performance injury update.
Speaker 1: I know more will be announced tomorrow. This is a
Speaker 1: short week. We're playing on Saturday, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: of concern just from fans about Tevin Jenkins because of
Speaker 1: the imagery, the visual of him being taken off. I
Speaker 1: know it's precautionary anybody has a neck injury or a
Speaker 1: spinal injury of any court sort. The medical staff is
Speaker 1: going to treat this just the way they did on Sunday. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And they did a good job. They were out there,
Speaker 1: there were a thorough did a good job of putting
Speaker 1: him where he needed to be, you know, to protect him,
Speaker 1: and it was all signs are good right now. I
Speaker 1: can't give you any more information than that. It's encouraging. Again,
Speaker 1: he's going to see some specialists as a double check everything.
Speaker 1: But we'll see where it goes because of that image,
Speaker 1: even for your players, everybody off the bench checking in
Speaker 1: on him on the field. Again, it's the first couple
Speaker 1: snaps of the game. Do you then have to say
Speaker 1: something to the team because you wonder what goes through
Speaker 1: everybody's minds and something like everybody knows it's as a
Speaker 1: game that you know your season could be ended in
Speaker 1: one snap, but God forbid something serious that could end
Speaker 1: your the way you live your life. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was positive when we're out there because he was
Speaker 1: moving his hands, which was just great. So when we
Speaker 1: saw him moving, so I think a lot of players
Speaker 1: saw that and I think that was encouraging to them.
Speaker 1: As we were on the field, all right, we got
Speaker 1: Jack Sanborn, Equomenius Saint Brown, Jalen Johnson had some ribs.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into all that as well. But a
Speaker 1: heck of a third down and ten play for EQ.
Speaker 1: I mean he's got to be irritated about that too.
Speaker 1: Twenty yard catch, that's that's a great play to start
Speaker 1: the first drive. Yeah, it's a great play. You know,
Speaker 1: we end up having a couple of penalties in that
Speaker 1: first drive, you know, a couple of false starts, and
Speaker 1: we overcame it with a great third down conversion there
Speaker 1: by eq so Um getting a great pass by Justin.
Speaker 1: You know, Justin had a really good, really good protection
Speaker 1: on that play and he delivered the ball right on
Speaker 1: time to a great in cut and then eq took
Speaker 1: it up the field. For some in a long time
Speaker 1: since i've seen an illegal formation on an opening kickoff.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever even been a part
Speaker 1: of something like that. But yeah, that was White was
Speaker 1: quite understand what was calling act. Yeah, so there's you know,
Speaker 1: obviously you got to be ten yards you know, beyond
Speaker 1: the kick and then there's a there's a fifteen yard
Speaker 1: area we got to have your players are in there.
Speaker 1: That's a recent rule. And you know, Elijah just had
Speaker 1: his foot touching the line, you know, it was barely
Speaker 1: touching it. He can't have it touching the white and
Speaker 1: it was and they called illegal formation. Yeah, good return
Speaker 1: by Vailis on that nonetheless. All right, so Philadelphia, they
Speaker 1: take care of the ball better than any team in
Speaker 1: the league. Jalen does as well. Came in with just
Speaker 1: three interceptions, and you get two interceptions and a fumble recovery,
Speaker 1: just like New England out of the out of the
Speaker 1: mini buy, you come out of the by with this.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's just the pounding of the
Speaker 1: emphasis that that plays into it, or it just bounced
Speaker 1: your way this time. But that's their third game only
Speaker 1: with multiple turnovers for the Eagles here, so it's rare
Speaker 1: for them and good for the Bears. I'm sure you're
Speaker 1: pleased with that aspect of it. I mean, it's great
Speaker 1: to have Gordon back, you know, and you know a
Speaker 1: lot of times that's players. You know, players make plays,
Speaker 1: and Gordon made a certainly made a couple of nice
Speaker 1: plays on the ball, you know, with that recovered fumble
Speaker 1: in the interception, you know, and then DHC what a
Speaker 1: great play he had by you know, getting over there.
Speaker 1: He's the middle of the field guy, he saw where
Speaker 1: he was looking, stepped in front of it and made
Speaker 1: a nice play. So, um, my hat off to those guys,
Speaker 1: and they did a good job. They're setting our offense
Speaker 1: up to score, you know. The one time we didn't
Speaker 1: get a score there where we got to punch it in. Um,
Speaker 1: but we at least got to come away with field goals.
Speaker 1: But we love touchdowns. And the end of the thing
Speaker 1: about that, the positioning of the players led to the play.
Speaker 1: The anticipation, Gordon said. So they looked like he was
Speaker 1: eyes going to aj Brown over the top as opposed
Speaker 1: to a tip pass. You want any way to get it.
Speaker 1: But I love the fact of positioning there in the
Speaker 1: right place. Yeah, that's all. That's all part of it.
Speaker 1: You know. I thought our guys did a good job
Speaker 1: was setting these guys up fields in the pocket, dodging
Speaker 1: it around, he's hitting from behind. Escape credit runs left
Speaker 1: forty five forty fields to the thirty in the Eagles
Speaker 1: bricks at tackle twenty fifteen, ten five spins to the end. Time.
Speaker 1: That's the best run of the year in a year
Speaker 1: of so many justin fields. What forty a ling on
Speaker 1: the field is at the gold back crazy yarder bounds
Speaker 1: at the nine yard line, he's a first down Chicago,
Speaker 1: We'll take it. We come back to the Bears Coaches
Speaker 1: Show with Bears head coach Matt Eberflus. Great seats available
Speaker 1: to see your Chicago Bears this season at Soldier Field.
Speaker 1: Get your tickets at Chicago Bears dot com slash tickets.
Speaker 1: All Right, I lost my mind. Wound up being a
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards scramble on second and twenty seven. You
Speaker 1: don't have plays for second in twenty seven, but with
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, gosh, darn it, you do. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: h you know, it was a really good play by him, obviously.
Speaker 1: So on that play, you know, Son Ridck end up
Speaker 1: making an inside move and then kind of doing a
Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney spin back to the outside and end up
Speaker 1: getting him a little bit too high, and he shrugged
Speaker 1: him off, you know, he threw him off there and
Speaker 1: then he took off. You know, So what a dynamic
Speaker 1: run there. There were some really good blocking at the
Speaker 1: end of that though, you know, Vayla Stones did a
Speaker 1: nice style of blocking at the very end of that,
Speaker 1: and you know, the receivers always do that for us,
Speaker 1: and it was unfortunately just stepped out barely and but
Speaker 1: what a heck of a run. Maybe white shoes instead
Speaker 1: of orange, and then they wouldn't have seen it. I've
Speaker 1: always said it, right, have you? Yes? I have yep, Amen, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: See no detail goes unnoticed by Mattieberflus. Yes, oh, I
Speaker 1: tell me more about that. Yeah, because you know, when
Speaker 1: you have a white shoe, you know, if there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of blade of grass there, you know, it
Speaker 1: kind of blends in right there. You can't really tell
Speaker 1: what's inconclusive. So I've always said that receivers and guys
Speaker 1: that have the ball in their hands should be wearing
Speaker 1: white shoes. But it's not quite as stylish, I don't think.
Speaker 1: But no, no, but maybe a little convincing yeah, in
Speaker 1: the future for just you know, it's about touchdowns, baby,
Speaker 1: it's about touchdowns. I know there have been some great runs,
Speaker 1: but that one tops the list because it emphasizes a
Speaker 1: couple of things. One, he's very difficult to tackle. You
Speaker 1: really got to square them up, and even then he
Speaker 1: could still step out of the tackle because of his
Speaker 1: lower body strength. I believe the moves, the joking, and
Speaker 1: like you always say, he's as fast as he needs
Speaker 1: to be. And I think that is not a small comment.
Speaker 1: The fast as he needs to be thing gears that
Speaker 1: this guy has. It was a magical run. You know
Speaker 1: he's at several of course, but it's fun to watch.
Speaker 1: You know, he's on the far side, you know, from me,
Speaker 1: so I had I had a little bit of a
Speaker 1: distance to look, and I was just like, wow, he's
Speaker 1: just he's gonna take this thing all the way. He
Speaker 1: was out like a way before and then he ended
Speaker 1: up going spinning back inside and then taking it. So
Speaker 1: it was pretty pretty cool how the quarterbacks would just
Speaker 1: run out of bounds there. That's right. So here's a
Speaker 1: quote from Lucas Patrick on his Instagram account right after
Speaker 1: that play. Evidently Justin Fields continues to do things no
Speaker 1: person can do. Elite. Darius Lay called Fields a highlight reel,
Speaker 1: pointed to his toughness and competitives to keep fighting. I
Speaker 1: guess we're gonna have to come up with a lot
Speaker 1: of words to describe him. You know, he continues to impress.
Speaker 1: And what's most impressive to me is how he's leading
Speaker 1: our football team. You know, he's in there with offense, defense,
Speaker 1: all the special teams guys, and he's doing a great
Speaker 1: job of leading from the front. And that's what we
Speaker 1: want him to do. Why special teams, Well, because it's
Speaker 1: our football team. So he's going in these the special teams. Well,
Speaker 1: he's just he's touching everybody in the building, you know.
Speaker 1: So he's touching everybody. Doesn't matter what position you play,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what union you're on, he's gonna touch. You know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna lead from the front. At the podium. You
Speaker 1: light up when you talk about Justin Fields. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can see it on your face. Yeah, he's in. He's
Speaker 1: special because he's not only a special player, he's a
Speaker 1: special person, you know. So he has grit, he has toughness,
Speaker 1: he has everything you're looking for in a competitive person
Speaker 1: that he leads your football team. Luke gets He says
Speaker 1: he's the most competitive person he's ever been around. Now
Speaker 1: that's saying a lot. Yeah, Yeah, he's he's very competitive.
Speaker 1: You know. He ranks up there with the best of
Speaker 1: them for sure. All Right, let's talk about his passing.
Speaker 1: He was finished a one nineteen five quarterback rating, second
Speaker 1: highest in the league. This week Monday Night Football yet
Speaker 1: to come without four of his top receivers, sack six times,
Speaker 1: and against the number one quarterback rated defense in the
Speaker 1: NFL fourteen to twenty one. I know, the Sex knocked
Speaker 1: down the overall net yardage, but two passing touchdowns. Where
Speaker 1: was there anything of substance yesterday of concern about the
Speaker 1: way he played? Maybe the short passing game. Still some
Speaker 1: of those throws. It was windy out there, for sure,
Speaker 1: you know when you throw in different directions out there,
Speaker 1: the wind was playing with the ball for sure. You know,
Speaker 1: in certain directions. You know, as you guys know, the
Speaker 1: wind swirls there in in Bear Stadium at Soldier Field.
Speaker 1: And but certainly he's got to make you know, make
Speaker 1: those better a little bit. But overall, really good performance
Speaker 1: by him. So he sets the single season record for
Speaker 1: the Bears. He hits a thousand one or three quarterbacks
Speaker 1: to do it's been done over all four times now
Speaker 1: chasing Lamar two h six away. That's about seventy yards
Speaker 1: a game. He did the quick math. You know, if
Speaker 1: he has a chance, he'd be great. But I think
Speaker 1: he'd rather win games. Yeah, Like I said, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just more about us setting things up to win
Speaker 1: the football game. So if that's justin you know, running
Speaker 1: the ball a few times or not as much. That's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do to win the game. All right.
Speaker 1: That pass rush of the Eagles, and it's good be
Speaker 1: our last one before we take a break here as
Speaker 1: you saw it on tape again against us, What were
Speaker 1: your thought? Yeah, I really noticed Reddick. I noticed sweat,
Speaker 1: you know, a hard grave. Those guys really popped out
Speaker 1: to me. You know, in terms of the pass rush,
Speaker 1: they did a really good job of creating one on
Speaker 1: one situations and there wasn't There was a lot of
Speaker 1: good stunts in there we saw. I thought they ran
Speaker 1: those really nice and violent, and we have to do
Speaker 1: a better job with passing those off. Kelsea, how the
Speaker 1: ball snaps it back? That hurts quickly, hurts in the
Speaker 1: pocketar plenty of time surveying directing right, flag flies throws
Speaker 1: intercepted by Kyler Gordon back Krederling, It picks it up.
Speaker 1: Kyler Gordon just jumped high en up to swipe Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: only his fourth interception this year off and holy the Eagles.
Speaker 1: That'll be the clide calling. All Bears fans get the
Speaker 1: Ultimate VIP fan package with Chicago Bears VIP secure a

Speaker 1: Coaches Show with head coach Matt Eberflus. Just heard Kyler
Speaker 1: Gordon's second interception of the Your first one came against
Speaker 1: New England again out of them. Then he buy great
Speaker 1: to have him back there. Overall, a big job against
Speaker 1: those receivers in that quarterback by the Seconday. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get into it here about that, but just start with Gordon.
Speaker 1: We'll go from there. Yeah, it was, first of all,
Speaker 1: I was glad to have him back, you know it was.
Speaker 1: He brings great energy out there, a great passion. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we end up blitzing him some, which is
Speaker 1: always good. He's a good blitzer, you know. And then coverage.
Speaker 1: He's got a great set of hands. You know, he's
Speaker 1: really got ballhulking ability. He displayed that yesterday, um, you
Speaker 1: know with that nice high point catch and also when
Speaker 1: he scooped up the fumble. You know, he have to
Speaker 1: have ball skills to be able to do those things
Speaker 1: that fast. And he did a nice job with that
Speaker 1: Chiquon Brisker back as well. And his presence is felt certainly.
Speaker 1: I did love the blitz call. I did love the
Speaker 1: blitz call I saw coming. I thought this is kind
Speaker 1: of cool. But as you said, picked the wrong gap
Speaker 1: or went to the wrong gap and that allowed for
Speaker 1: the touchdown. But I didn't know this, but Brad Biggs had.
Speaker 1: The Tribune did an article on him from back to
Speaker 1: the Lackawana College and nine sacks and safety and not Lackawanna.
Speaker 1: So again, different brand of football, but he's got that ability.
Speaker 1: He does, he does. It was great to have him back.
Speaker 1: He tackled well, um did a really nice job disguising
Speaker 1: our coverages. I thought he did a really good job
Speaker 1: of that as well. And he's a hitter and he's
Speaker 1: a really good blitzer, and we're gonna keep sending them,
Speaker 1: you know. So he's he's always done a good job
Speaker 1: with that. He's he's a big body that can get
Speaker 1: guys down. You know. These quarterbacks are big and strong,
Speaker 1: you know, so we have to have send a guy
Speaker 1: that's strong enough to get him on the ground. So
Speaker 1: and he is. So we're excited about where he's going.
Speaker 1: And he's gonna have a nice set of three games
Speaker 1: here coming up. Let's talk about the pass rush. Would
Speaker 1: you say it was better yesterday? I mean there was
Speaker 1: once there. It was pressure moments and hurt Scott hit
Speaker 1: more than he has lately. Yeah, I would say it
Speaker 1: was good. You know, we you know, we ended up
Speaker 1: pressure and I think it was seventeen times um yesterday
Speaker 1: and that was good, good to see. And we had
Speaker 1: some unscotted looks that we haven't shown, which is really good.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, overall our front four Dickinson pressure,
Speaker 1: you know, I know, Gibson had a hit on the
Speaker 1: quarterback a couple other times, wet you know, Joe Joe
Speaker 1: had the sack you know, on the one pressure. So
Speaker 1: that's always good to see. But we have to increase
Speaker 1: that and keep that going. And I thought the Eagles
Speaker 1: might try to pound the ball and just get out
Speaker 1: of dodge and run. You know. Were you surprised that
Speaker 1: they didn't They didn't do it. They didn't do it
Speaker 1: until later in the game. Yeah, Um, I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It was with the weather the way it was,
Speaker 1: I was a little bit surprised by that, you know,
Speaker 1: And uh so, but I thought we were doing a
Speaker 1: good job of stopping the run. You know, we were
Speaker 1: pretty pretty slamming at home. Pretty good. Um, I thought
Speaker 1: we took away what they wanted to do well, what
Speaker 1: they've done well in the past, and they had to
Speaker 1: go to some of the alternative runs and again they
Speaker 1: popped one of those. Um, we were we fitted up right,
Speaker 1: We just gotta make a tackle there. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson. There have been all sorts of opinions about
Speaker 1: the performance because you look at one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: something yards by a j. Brown, but he only caught
Speaker 1: half of his balls. There were four pass breakups or
Speaker 1: three pass breakups by Jalen. Once saved the touchdown. He
Speaker 1: got the blitz from Gordon on the sixty eight yarder
Speaker 1: and he's he's in his hip pocket. The ball's got
Speaker 1: to be perfectly thrown and it was trying to make
Speaker 1: the tackle. Didn't make the tackle. But I thought it
Speaker 1: was a really, really good show by Jalen Johnson yesterday. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought it was competitive. You know, he's going against
Speaker 1: a good receiver. I mean, that is a good receiver,
Speaker 1: and for that many targets, I thought he did a
Speaker 1: good job. You know, obviously he'd liked to have those
Speaker 1: two fade balls back where he you know, was playing
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, bust to try and go and
Speaker 1: play through the hands. That's all. It's all about timing though.
Speaker 1: He's all about timing it up. But again, like you said,
Speaker 1: he had three pass breakup against a really good receiver.
Speaker 1: He was competitive and we like where he was. We
Speaker 1: need a sponsored segment. This teaching moment with Mattieberflus is
Speaker 1: sponsored by something. Because let's punched through the triangle. When
Speaker 1: a receiver catches the ball, you know, he has a
Speaker 1: triangle with the ball. So you picture the ball and
Speaker 1: two he's got two hands on the ball and the
Speaker 1: ball is over his head right, So that's what we
Speaker 1: call the triangle. That forms a triangle. So we teach
Speaker 1: our our dbs to punch up and through the triangle. Okay,
Speaker 1: because a lot of times when a dB and a
Speaker 1: receiver's got the triangle, they're catching the ball, the DBO
Speaker 1: actually swat down and he's actually helping him secure the
Speaker 1: ball and tuck the ball. So we want to go
Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. So we want to be able
Speaker 1: to bust up through the triangle. So we work hard
Speaker 1: on that. Again, it's a skill that we have to develop.
Speaker 1: I thought our defensive backs did a good job yesterday
Speaker 1: of playing the ball. You know, we got a DPI.
Speaker 1: You know when we've played the team up north there,
Speaker 1: we got a DPI the week before. Really worked hard
Speaker 1: of us playing, getting in phase and playing the ball.
Speaker 1: And I thought our guys did a really nice job
Speaker 1: with that yesterday. Do do young players in particular, or
Speaker 1: maybe even veterans in those situations, Uh, sometimes a little
Speaker 1: panic probably gets in their head. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: can't let them catch it. But and they forget these
Speaker 1: little things like yeah, that was not a little thing,
Speaker 1: but they forget. You have to drill it. You gotta
Speaker 1: drill it, and you gotta be poise at the catch
Speaker 1: you know, poise at the catch point. You gotta be
Speaker 1: have poised there. You can't panic, and you gotta punch
Speaker 1: through the triangle, look back for the ball, you know,
Speaker 1: to make sure you don't get the DPI. And I
Speaker 1: thought our guys that are working to improve Jalen Jones too.
Speaker 1: Jalen Jones had a yeah, I mean, I don't want
Speaker 1: to put words in you. Yeah, Jalen was solid. He
Speaker 1: did it. He did a good job in there. Again,
Speaker 1: he was, you know, out there covering. You know Smith,
Speaker 1: you know half the time and uh again obviously another
Speaker 1: good talent. So we thought he played well. Takes the snap,
Speaker 1: pockets tight, gets away from pressure from Sue, Gonna roll
Speaker 1: in the news right, throw us to a wide open
Speaker 1: ring up to the end zone. Touchdown, cut it at
Speaker 1: the two. Justin Field found him if he was being chased. Bye,
Speaker 1: Sue had a touchdown for the Bears. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Bears Coaches Show with head coach Mattiberflus Jeff Joniac
Speaker 1: with you into eight o'clock tonight. There's the Pringle touchdown
Speaker 1: made possible because of the inique ability of Justin Fields
Speaker 1: and get that play going as long as you possibly can,
Speaker 1: forcing plaster coverage on the other end, and Harry slips
Speaker 1: open and bam, that's an important touchdown you mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: in the show. Yeah, that was a really good drive.
Speaker 1: I think it was one thirty seven off the board there,
Speaker 1: so it was quick. I thought the guys operated fast.
Speaker 1: That was so good for us to be able to
Speaker 1: do that in that moment. And again, if we'd have
Speaker 1: got that onside kick, we would have had an our
Speaker 1: chance to get it going there too. And I thought
Speaker 1: we would have done a good job. But on that
Speaker 1: particular play, you know, they're playing quarters on the week
Speaker 1: side and cover two on the on the strong side.
Speaker 1: So Justin scrambled at the cover two side and end
Speaker 1: up letting BP go because that was his own side
Speaker 1: to it, and he ended up finding him at the
Speaker 1: end and nice catch and easy walking, so it was good.
Speaker 1: That's while we're on the topic the on side kick,
Speaker 1: the style of it and all of that. What do
Speaker 1: you did you yeah, so it was it was the
Speaker 1: right call at that time, you know, So we were
Speaker 1: I think it was two forty three, I want to say,
Speaker 1: so that's under our mark. So we had one time out,
Speaker 1: so we went with the spinner kick, which is good,
Speaker 1: and Chiro did it. Has done a really good job
Speaker 1: with that kick. You know, that kicks hard to recover,
Speaker 1: you know when it gets there, because it's kind of
Speaker 1: like you know, you know, spins right there. See it
Speaker 1: has to go ten yards obviously we'd like it to
Speaker 1: go ten and a half and we just got to
Speaker 1: operate there a little bit better. But he's hit that
Speaker 1: kick great in practice a bunch of times. Another thought
Speaker 1: on field here the only quarterback thrill from multiple touchdowns
Speaker 1: and no interceptions against the Eagles defense in a game
Speaker 1: this season, and now in his last nineties, averaging one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five yards passing a game. Just the
Speaker 1: development continues, The confidence continues, desire to get back on
Speaker 1: the field after cramping up continues. You gotta be from
Speaker 1: where it started to where it is. And you know,
Speaker 1: you and the coaching staff deserve a lot of credit too, because,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, it was after the Washington game
Speaker 1: he kind of kind of went to him and say, hey,
Speaker 1: how can we help you? Yeah? Right, And if a
Speaker 1: player then sees that benefit of what's happened, since I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a voice for you in the locker room.
Speaker 1: Hey guys, these coaches want to help us. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a really good meeting that him and I had.
Speaker 1: I pulled him in right after the Washington game, you know,
Speaker 1: because I could sense some frustration, you know, from him.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously we had that really good drive at
Speaker 1: the end and we couldn't punch it in at the
Speaker 1: end to win it. Obviously two good throws by him
Speaker 1: at the end there, but uh, you know I could
Speaker 1: sense that, so I just talked to him about, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, the leadership you know, of of the head
Speaker 1: football coach and the leadership of the quarterback has to be,
Speaker 1: you know, really good in times of adversity. And since
Speaker 1: that momentum, we've had that conversation and he's done a
Speaker 1: really good job of staying steady, staying positive and really
Speaker 1: uplifting his teammates through challenging him and also modeling the behavior.
Speaker 1: And what do I mean by that? You know, the
Speaker 1: hard work, the grit, you know, the focus, the determination
Speaker 1: he has every single day he comes into the building.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're still carrying out these conversations with him, absolutely, Yep.
Speaker 1: We meet obviously in the quarterback meetings you know, most
Speaker 1: of the time, and him and I have conversations every week.
Speaker 1: What would you say to Bless Jones Junior right now,
Speaker 1: vealish not hold out of the football on that play.
Speaker 1: It's a physical mistake. Got to protect the football. But
Speaker 1: the trust factor is you know something that is important
Speaker 1: here too. You gotta trust in him. He's got a
Speaker 1: trust in his coaches. I mean the whole thing. What
Speaker 1: would you say to him right now that would just say,
Speaker 1: go back to the fundamentals you know, what you've seen
Speaker 1: in practice is what you're going to see in the game.
Speaker 1: So you know, when you're running a reverse or catching
Speaker 1: the ball in the perimeter, obviously you put your you know,
Speaker 1: the ball in the outside arm, which he had it
Speaker 1: was in the outside arm. And then when you get
Speaker 1: the traffic, you want to put your class pan over
Speaker 1: your arm that you have the ball. And so all
Speaker 1: that means is that when we say five points of pressure,
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking about you know, the fingertips, you know,
Speaker 1: the palm, you know, the risk, the bicep, and then
Speaker 1: the rib cage. That's your five points of pressure that
Speaker 1: you have on the ball. So when you're running with
Speaker 1: the ball, you have to maintain those five points of pressure, okay,
Speaker 1: and then when you get into traffic, you take your
Speaker 1: other hand and you put the class pan over your wrist,
Speaker 1: so that way you have two hands on the football
Speaker 1: that is securing the football as you get through traffic.
Speaker 1: And uh um, you know right there, as as you
Speaker 1: look at it, the ball was off the rib cage
Speaker 1: and he ended up hitting it, you know, Hassan Riddic
Speaker 1: end up hitting it with his shoulder pad and the
Speaker 1: ball end up popping out the backside there. So we
Speaker 1: just had to do a better job with the fundamentals.
Speaker 1: Like you always say, you don't walk by mistakes. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's it's his first offensive fumble, not a muff punt.
Speaker 1: But you can't let me because you gotta correct it now,
Speaker 1: because sometimes it becomes a scouting report. Hey this guy,
Speaker 1: this guy's a fumbler, this guy's this, and it goes.
Speaker 1: It will carry us with a guy throughout his whole career. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it will. It will carry with you. And of
Speaker 1: course me being a you know my background on defense,
Speaker 1: we certainly chart those things and show those things to
Speaker 1: the to our guys and and the guys that are
Speaker 1: get a little bit thirsty when that happened when they
Speaker 1: see it, you know. So, um, he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: correct it, and we'll correct it as coaches. To Hurts.
Speaker 1: The throw is in intercepted picked up my DC at
Speaker 1: the forty three yard out of the Eagles, running right
Speaker 1: to the thirty five middle of the field of the
Speaker 1: thirty can't break the tackle, put he throw it right
Speaker 1: to DHC. The Bears matchup with the Eagles is brought
Speaker 1: to you by United Airlines Official airline of the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: Welcome Back to the Bears Coaches Show, Maddieberflus, Jeff Joniac
Speaker 1: by the Way, stopped by the middle of Light. Ultimate
Speaker 1: Tailgate located at the Field Museum opened for Bears fans
Speaker 1: of all ages two hours pregame in one hour postgame
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve against the Buffalo Bills. Third career interception for DHC.
Speaker 1: And whenever you get him on the field, he always
Speaker 1: does something positive, whether it be leadership or an actual player, tackle,
Speaker 1: special teams, always around the ball, it seems through his
Speaker 1: entire time here in his seven years, there's always something
Speaker 1: good from DHC. Yeah, he did a really good job.
Speaker 1: He's done done a solid and good when he's been
Speaker 1: in there, you know, obviously losing Eddie, you know, and
Speaker 1: him having to step up there, and he's had good experiences.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been in his career, he's played safety,
Speaker 1: saw him, and he's done a good job when he's
Speaker 1: been in there. But the player that we just listened to,
Speaker 1: it was a really good play. You know, he ended
Speaker 1: up reading the quarterback size. He was the middle of
Speaker 1: the field player and he end up stepping in front
Speaker 1: of it and it was a really good play in
Speaker 1: a solid return. Yeah. Eighteen yards. Yeah, really good to you.
Speaker 1: That's a first down. That's your first first down of
Speaker 1: the drive. There you go, there you go. But he
Speaker 1: did a good job with that. Such a positive guy too,
Speaker 1: He is always positive. He always upbeat. He's the guy
Speaker 1: that comes into the building that you can point to
Speaker 1: and say, you know, just act like him because he's
Speaker 1: always on it, sirs. Guy on the practice field, he's
Speaker 1: one of the most professional guys I've seen. Honestly, that's right.
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't have a seven year career, you know,
Speaker 1: you know in his role, you know, without doing what
Speaker 1: he does. So it's exciting to see for him. All right,
Speaker 1: let's let's talk Cairo a little bit. Uh, tied for
Speaker 1: the league lead and not a category you want with
Speaker 1: the five missed extra points. Again, the wind is an
Speaker 1: issue in that, but everything matters right now, Every single
Speaker 1: point matters, every turn of events. Uh, the decision not
Speaker 1: to go on the forty eight yard or do you
Speaker 1: trust what he's thinking about the win and what you
Speaker 1: did pregame. I mean, there's a lot going on in
Speaker 1: there right now. Yeah, So the evaluation of the kick
Speaker 1: line is done, you know, obviously before the game, you know,
Speaker 1: so we look at the win conditions where it is,
Speaker 1: and then we get put our heads together with ht Cairo,
Speaker 1: all of us come together and say, hey, where's the
Speaker 1: kick line? You know, Typically in a normal day, it's
Speaker 1: right around that thirty five thirty three range somewhere in there.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a little longer if you're if you're inside,
Speaker 1: but you know, that's where it's kind of been and
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes. But then yesterday it was
Speaker 1: the twenty seven you know, it was the twenty seven
Speaker 1: yearland because of the win. The win was throlling in there.
Speaker 1: It was just where we thought comfortable where we could
Speaker 1: make those kicks, you know. So when it got the
Speaker 1: ball got back to the thirty one, you know, we
Speaker 1: decided to take the delay and then punting pin. Earlier
Speaker 1: in the game, we decided our first drive, we decided
Speaker 1: to go for it. It was fourth and three from
Speaker 1: the thirty three, and obviously there's a huge difference between
Speaker 1: fourth and three from the thirty three and fourth and
Speaker 1: twenty seven from the you know, from the thirty one.
Speaker 1: So we made the decision, hey, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: take the delay and let's go ahead and punting pin
Speaker 1: and Trent did a great job. He punted it inside there.
Speaker 1: If we had a little bit different, hop we probably
Speaker 1: got it's down inside the five and at the seven
Speaker 1: yard line bouncing one. Hop we end up getting it
Speaker 1: right there. S Blackwell or was that Simba who caught it?
Speaker 1: U Simba had the one later. I think that might
Speaker 1: have been Blackwell. Yeah, Blackwell, yeah, because he's Scales would
Speaker 1: have wanted him to say it was him. But he
Speaker 1: was in the frame. Yeah, hey, that matters. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was as long as you're in the frame. He was enthusiastic.
Speaker 1: For sure. Do the injuries at receiver now and we
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, there's hope, I'm sure to kill
Speaker 1: Harry Chase Claypool, But does it affect how you operate
Speaker 1: what you want to do? Yeah, we'll see. We'll see
Speaker 1: where it goes right now. So you know, we got
Speaker 1: question mark on clay and then you know, obviously see Harry,
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously the EQ. So there's three question
Speaker 1: marks there. So again we'll get those things answered earlier
Speaker 1: in the week and we'll see where it goes. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the work done by David
Speaker 1: Montgomery obviously continues to put together good games, solid games.
Speaker 1: Ran hard. I think that was only his fourth career
Speaker 1: touchdown receiving, but he's continuing to show an ability to
Speaker 1: make something happen with that in the passing game. That's
Speaker 1: a great little play. Yeah, I mean, you know, even
Speaker 1: the and after he had the run, the first touchdown
Speaker 1: he had, you know, so that was really good. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, justin steps out at the nine. We end
Speaker 1: up handing the ball off to mount Grammy from there
Speaker 1: after that, and to me, that was a great block
Speaker 1: by BP. You know, Pringle had a really good block
Speaker 1: on that. He ended up blocking two guys. He ended
Speaker 1: up coming down cracking and then coming off and block
Speaker 1: in the corner he got He got two guys there,
Speaker 1: which was outstanding, and he just walked it in. But
Speaker 1: what a great run there. But also the second touchdown
Speaker 1: really did a good job. It was an all out
Speaker 1: pressure by by Philadelphia and we end up you know,
Speaker 1: free release in our back and um, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: I think they're supposed to peel on that. The defensive
Speaker 1: ends supposed to peel on the back when he free
Speaker 1: releases like that, and he must have missed it and
Speaker 1: he threw it to the flat and he scored touchdown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: first time in his career he's had a touchdown running
Speaker 1: and receiving the football in a game. And uh, you
Speaker 1: mentioned Pringle. We only have a few seconds here, but
Speaker 1: the guy lights up when you talk about is blocking.
Speaker 1: He wants to talk about it. He loves it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been doing that for a long time. Did the
Speaker 1: same thing in Kansas City. He's a he's a of
Speaker 1: a perimeter blocker. What's on his fields? Throws right, car
Speaker 1: turns it up five into the end. Zode to be
Speaker 1: Montgomery for the touchdown. David Montgomery in for six, his
Speaker 1: second touchdown of the day. Welcome back to the Bears
Speaker 1: Coaches Show. David Montgomery was his rushing touchdown right there.
Speaker 1: As we talked about that in our last segment. Back
Speaker 1: with your coach here, I want to talk about a
Speaker 1: bunch of topics before we get into the Bills. Go
Speaker 1: back to the offensive line, how they handle stunts and
Speaker 1: games with a front like that, because isn't it true
Speaker 1: that if you don't come back on a level, it
Speaker 1: creates openings for those types of stunts? And was that
Speaker 1: something that happened on occasion yesterday. Yeah, yeah, it sure did.
Speaker 1: And we you know, we'll improve on that and you
Speaker 1: know and Chris in Austin will do a good job
Speaker 1: with drolling those guys and that this week. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they gotta pass those things off. They gotta stay on
Speaker 1: the same level and to be able to pass those
Speaker 1: things off. And again, my hats out to Philadelphia. They
Speaker 1: ran him well. Hydration Justin admitted, yep, he's gonna make
Speaker 1: sure he's on it now. It's just a young probably
Speaker 1: not thinking about it, right, you're invincible. Well, I just
Speaker 1: think that he's learning his body, you know as he goes.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been obviously been playing football his whole life.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's you know, he's a starting quarterback
Speaker 1: and he's you know, you know doing a lot of
Speaker 1: different things and you know and running you know for
Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty yards at a time. You know, so
Speaker 1: it's a different it's a little bit different for him.
Speaker 1: So he's got to learn his body and then get
Speaker 1: his routine down. You know, if that means taking an
Speaker 1: ivy before the game, that's good hydrating, you know, through
Speaker 1: various sources, you know, doing that, so, um, he'll get
Speaker 1: a plan and we'll get it right. Do you know
Speaker 1: that when he probably feel the same way, just the
Speaker 1: feeling when he was trying to walk and it wasn't
Speaker 1: looking good, And what's racing through your mind as an
Speaker 1: announcer or a fan, It's like, oh, my stomach was hurting.
Speaker 1: I thought, oh no, I mean, what what are you thinking? Well,
Speaker 1: I could kind of tell the way he was walking
Speaker 1: that it was cramping. So yeah, so I was okay,
Speaker 1: and I just told him to get down, you know,
Speaker 1: so get down to you know, take a take a break,
Speaker 1: you know, let the trainers take a look at you.
Speaker 1: You know, that'll give us time to you know, get
Speaker 1: our back up some snap and get him ready to go.
Speaker 1: Throw a couple throws out there before, you know, for Nate.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know he ended up, you know, happening
Speaker 1: to go in for an ivy, you know, and then
Speaker 1: come back, came back out and had that drive afterwards.
Speaker 1: So it was good and down I can sue Noah's history.
Speaker 1: I called the play. I thought, well, because Justin went down,
Speaker 1: he kind of was chasing him. He just ran into him.
Speaker 1: Tom lost his mind. He was furious, and I see
Speaker 1: the replay, and I was equally it's furious, are you
Speaker 1: I was on the field, Yeah, I was furious on
Speaker 1: the field, you know. So I saw him wind up,
Speaker 1: you know, and then wound up yep, yep uh. And
Speaker 1: I was talking to the officials on the sideline and
Speaker 1: said I was hit to the hit to the face,
Speaker 1: and it was. And again they didn't see it that way,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure they'll see it today and we'll see
Speaker 1: where it goes from there. But again, I'm always talking
Speaker 1: to the refs and always talking to the officials before
Speaker 1: the game to protect the quarterback, make sure we're squared
Speaker 1: away there. Like I said, you know, they're important piece
Speaker 1: to each football team, and we got to do a
Speaker 1: good job protecting those guys. Enough's enough already with justin Yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta do a good job. They have to do
Speaker 1: a good job. I'm gonna keep reminding them forceful, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as I can before the game, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing it. Is it hard to curb your
Speaker 1: tongue because you're a high character individual, but your blood
Speaker 1: gets up like anybody else. No matter how you try
Speaker 1: to stay composed to, you just run the risk of
Speaker 1: like getting real hot at somebody. Yeah, I mean you do,
Speaker 1: you do certainly during the game. You got to make
Speaker 1: sure that you have some some self control there. But
Speaker 1: again it's it's it is what it is. You know,
Speaker 1: if if it is a hit to the helmet, let's
Speaker 1: call it that way and let's let's do a good
Speaker 1: job being consistent. Joe Thomas, the hit on jail and hurts.
Speaker 1: Is that a teach tape right there? No, Joe Thomas, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the hamstring tackle right there, and he impeded the
Speaker 1: It's like you hit a brick wall and back when
Speaker 1: I well, it's about the pad level number one. You know,
Speaker 1: you got to have your pad level. It's got to
Speaker 1: be at waiste level or below um and it's you
Speaker 1: gotta hit with the top of your pads, which he did,
Speaker 1: and then you got to grab a hamstring, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta grab behind the back of the legs and
Speaker 1: pull in and then run three hard steps. And that's
Speaker 1: exactly what he did. He only got We always say
Speaker 1: get one, but if you get two, it's it's really good.
Speaker 1: But he had he had one hamstring there and he
Speaker 1: in his feet three hard steps and end up taking
Speaker 1: him back. It was. It was textbook. I'll take the
Speaker 1: one on Jalen Hurts. He's pretty thick and big. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then you ever get two man, it's it's pretty
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Um. Mike Pinnell Junior, gotta bring him up.
Speaker 1: That forced fumble. He was playing with a high level
Speaker 1: of excitement for a veteran player in that situation. Made
Speaker 1: his presence felt on a couple of Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a good play on the screen. You know, they end
Speaker 1: up tucking the ball, you know, it was definitely you know,
Speaker 1: you know, two steps he had, he had a clear
Speaker 1: possession of the ball, control and then two steps and
Speaker 1: he was good to go. And then Mike did a
Speaker 1: good job of punching it out, hitting the hitting the
Speaker 1: elbow and the ball popped out. And then Gordon did
Speaker 1: a good job of of you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: why he spun like that, but he even said so
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, I could have been in the crib,
Speaker 1: but he did a good job of scooping it up.
Speaker 1: Now it's time to look ahead. Brought to you by
Speaker 1: Bette Rivers, the official sports book partner of the Bears,
Speaker 1: The eleven and three Bills at Soldier field Saturday for
Speaker 1: a noon kick. We have no idea what the weather
Speaker 1: week's going to be as if this can. As of
Speaker 1: this discussion, it's not looking too good for what is coming.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to be on your p's and
Speaker 1: q's and what you're gonna do here, Matt. But Josh
Speaker 1: Allen led Buffalo to the win over Miami fourth strade
Speaker 1: playoff Berth. Sean McDermot has a has a culture, and
Speaker 1: he has got a great quarterback. Those are two great
Speaker 1: pillars to start things off to talk about Buffalo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sean has done a really good job there, you know,
Speaker 1: Obviously developing the quarterback, you know, that took some time,
Speaker 1: and they did a good job being patient and then
Speaker 1: enhancing his skills, you know, and really doing a good
Speaker 1: job what he does well. And obviously the addition of
Speaker 1: some skill levels you know, with Diggs and everybody on
Speaker 1: the perimeter, that's certainly helpful. In their defense, you know,
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser does does a wonderful job on their defense.
Speaker 1: They've been good, you know, for several years now, and
Speaker 1: they keep us you know, I think they're two in
Speaker 1: scoring defense and maybe three in scoring offense. So this
Speaker 1: is an elite football team that we're playing, and it's
Speaker 1: really no different than Philadelphia. All eight of their defensive
Speaker 1: linemen have a sack. It did the math. They've combined
Speaker 1: for twenty four sixty five hits on the quarterback, thirty
Speaker 1: three tackles for lost, six force fumbels, and sixteen pass breakups.
Speaker 1: The reason I bring it up everybody knows who the
Speaker 1: Eagles names are, but we're talking about guys that these
Speaker 1: are not considered elite star players right now. Von Miller's out,
Speaker 1: he's a linebacker. But Greg Russo shack loss and ajp
Speaker 1: Andessa de Kwon Jones at Oliver who leads the team
Speaker 1: and hits. I don't think people would you know, be
Speaker 1: mentioned in some of those names, but they are productive.
Speaker 1: But I know those names, Yeah, I know those names.
Speaker 1: So those guys are good players, you know. Um and
Speaker 1: then they have been in league for a while and
Speaker 1: they they are pressure players and they've created some pressure,
Speaker 1: you know through their one on one matchups and that's
Speaker 1: what they do. They're they're a four down team, you
Speaker 1: know that rushes four and plays in coverage a lot.
Speaker 1: Um not a big pressure group. You know, They're not
Speaker 1: big into pressure and they believe in playing coverage and
Speaker 1: creating pressure with their front for what and last question,
Speaker 1: what makes Josh Allen different than other running quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: terms of what he brings to the table, size, speed,
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, I would rug it. Yeah, he's just
Speaker 1: he will he will run you over if if if
Speaker 1: he's if you let him so, he's He's a guy
Speaker 1: that's a super big, you know, really strong um understands
Speaker 1: you know the game, you know when to take it,
Speaker 1: you know when to keep it, you know, in the pocket.
Speaker 1: And he's done a better job. You know, I was
Speaker 1: obviously the last year or two of throwing from the pocket,
Speaker 1: and he's a dynamic player. All right, Well, good luck
Speaker 1: in the preparation. It's gonna be an interesting week. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Mary, Christmas to you and your family as well.
Speaker 1: Marry Christmas, doll and very good. We'll talk to you
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Keith Johnson, Andy Gersherdam, really, Jordan Trudup, thanks
Speaker 1: for all your help. I'm Jeff Joni act back at
