Good evening and welcome everybody 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.400 to Bears All Access here in Chicago Sports Radio six 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.400 seventy The Score brought to you by IGS Energy. So 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.119 we got all kind of different perspectives tonight to bring 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.000 to the table. Tonight We'll start with Tom in studio time. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.640 How you doing I'm doing good. You know, it's funny 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.480 you got the picture of Mitchell Trubisky in the back 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.240 of the Sun Times. You know it's a Pro Bowl 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.039 practice when you're in short sleeves and sunglasses, and you know, 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.319 that's the indication that the Pro Bowl and the way 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.240 these guys getting ready to prepare for the week and 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.040 for what the Pro Bowl has become. I hope there's 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.280 better effort than we've seen in the past. And then, 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.480 but I think today as about Pogano and a lot 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.039 of fans that don't know a lot about Chuck Pagano 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.600 being in the AFC through a majority of his career, 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.280 getting an introduction to see how he'll be up at 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.200 the podium, how he's going to answer questions. When I 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.960 was saw Chuck Begano when he was coaching with Indianapolis 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.040 or Baltimore, he was always a cliche talker. And I 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.840 think today you got a little bit wider exposure to 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.440 Chuck Begano, what he's been going through the last couple 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.639 of years, you know, the success of his coaching career, 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.640 and even I'm glad that asked him the question about 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.079 the desires to be a head coach. I think he's 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.200 extremely content to be where he is. Yeah, he sounds 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.320 like that very much, and he loves his quotes. I 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.480 had an opportunity to visit with him. He's got it. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.000 He's a quote machine. He's got all sorts of sayings 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.680 he's gonna roll out to his players. So it'll be 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.720 fun to jack those down over the course of the season, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.720 and he's got big plans for that. We'll hear from 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.720 cuts from him throughout the broadcast here this evening to 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.720 a let you know, if you missed it earlier today, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.440 but Big Jim your year onto the draft, the draft 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.280 right now, my friend. Yeah, it's been all week. It's 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.680 down here at Theresa Sea Bowl. A lot of talent, 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.160 you know. I can see definitely probably about eight first 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.040 rounders that are down here performing in this game. And 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.400 we can get into some of those names, you know, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.280 obviously the O Warrior, the defensive back. There was a 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.799 little bit of scare. He's from Penn State. He went 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.320 down early in the practice, but portually he wasn't hurt 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.560 and was able to return. And you know, so there's 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.160 a lot going on, like you said, and I was 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.919 happy to hear all the things that Chuck Pagano said, 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.200 I listened, I've read all your quotes today and what 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.639 you were tweeting out, Jeff and and just how he's 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.040 not going to change the terminology on the defense. I 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.120 think that's a good thing that, you know, all those 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.120 players on defense won't have to get to know what 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.840 a different terminology. He'll keep it the same and it'll 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.160 be familiar to the players. Now. I always say this 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.839 about play callers. Though, He's gonna have a different way 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.720 he calls a game that's different than Vic Fangio. He's 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.760 gonna have certain tendencies that are different than Vic Fangio, 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.280 things that he obviously believes in. You know, when he's 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.160 gonna heat up an opposing quarterback, will he be more 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.240 aggressive in terms of the blitzing, because certainly the Bears 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.400 front seven they've been fantastic and I don't think Fancio 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.760 has always had to do that as much as some 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.960 other teams in terms of providing pressure. And then just 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.160 the talent, you know, to continue to develop the young talent. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.880 That's going to be imperative for Chuck Pagano as well. 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.280 You know, to Jim, I think it's really important to 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.680 keep defensive line coach. Why am I losing his name? 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.720 Jeff Rogers or Jay Rogers. It's important to keep him 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.760 on the staff because if you are going to keep 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.080 the same terminology, and you're keeping the terminology together to 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.120 be able to have these guys experience the same terminology 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.200 that they learned this year, there's going to be a 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.440 coach on the staff that has the ability to explain 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.320 little nuances of the defense to Pagano and I think 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.400 it's important you talk about and even he talked about 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.800 it at the podium. You know, you made a quarterback 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.720 make it an indication that we're going to blitz you 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.360 from one side, But as soon as that clock winds 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:35.960 down and they get to the point where they can't 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.640 make a transition, he'll blitz you from the complete opposite 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.039 side and overwhelm you with bodies. So now it's good 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.440 that they can put that into the terminology, so the 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.719 players know what the coach is talking about, and easier 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.240 for you know what, four new coaches on the defensive 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.480 coaching staff to learn it, rather than every single player 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.920 forgetting what they've learned over the last couple of years 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.640 and trying to learn something new. So I think that's 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.599 importan and part of the development, the continuous development of 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.599 this defense. Here's what his vision is. Our vision for 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.599 this defense is to be the best, and we'd be 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.200 the best in the history of the game. Pieces are there, 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.800 they'll continue to add pieces, and we'd be better than 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.880 we were last year. Absolutely, it will be very, very 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.279 difficult and be a huge challenge, but one that we're 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.720 all up for. Well, he's not just sitting back and saying, hey, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.760 you guys are really good and hope to be really good. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.279 He's shooting for the stars. I love it. Yeah, you know, 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.960 it's you know, and I love it too. And you 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.800 talk about new players coming in here, and Jim, you 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.440 brought it up a couple of minutes ago because you 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.160 are down at the senior ball and you see all 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.359 this upcoming talent, and then I start thinking about coach 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.120 Pagano and where he fits in. But this upcoming draft, 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.920 because you know, everybody talks about what the Bears don't 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.680 have in terms of numbers, I think this is probably 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.800 as an important draft and the players that you bring 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.200 in as if you had a load of first rounders, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.960 because you can't have missus. You can't go out there 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.800 and reach out a guy that maybe you think he 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.440 can come up through the ranks if he's in a 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.200 small program. You have to get these guys like here, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.919 Eddie Jacksons and stuff that there's a reason there in 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.160 the fourth round. But the reason is that they're they're 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.200 a good football player with maybe a little bit of 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.320 hiccup of injury in their past. All right, we'll get 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.200 to Jim Miller and some of that. The Bears will 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.280 have a guy making those decisions. Ryan Pace has had 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.320 some very good mid the late round draft picks that 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:23.880 have stuck and stayed and some are in the Pro 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.599 Bowl right now. We'll be talking to one of those guys, 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.880 Charles Leno Jr. Former seventh round draft pick. We'll be 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.640 joining the program from Orlando, where some practice took place 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.479 today with his six other Bears teammates and having a 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.520 good time. We can see that from all the pictures 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.080 and all the video we've seen from Orlando. This is 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.279 Bears All Access here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:51.400 the Score.

Jeff Jonyak up at Hattisaw 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.680 with Tom Fair and the Score Studios and Jim Miller 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.480 down at the Senior Bowling Mobile allowed them. I'll pick 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.960 it up with Big Jim Weather Edman Grade. Eh No, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.800 they had to actually yesterday they had to moving inside 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.720 and go into South Alabama. At least now they they 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.800 have a facility that they can go indoors and practice. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.640 They had to limit the amount of you know, representatives 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.480 for each team. The teams were only allowed to representatives. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.360 So that's unfortunate because you got all the scouts from 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.200 every organization that's down here, so they're really gonna have 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.720 to scout off the tape. But at least the players 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.880 did get in a quality practice. And you know, back 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.600 even when I played in this game in ninety four, 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.559 I remember we had a practice that was canceled. We 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.320 ended up doing our practice in the ballroom with a hotel. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.040 Imagine me throwing an out routes into a fold up wall. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.600 I mean, so, at least now they have a facility 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.960 that they can use but it has been pretty bad 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.560 weather down here. Hey, Jim, I have a question for you. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.720 Your era is different than Meyer when I when I 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.680 came out, you had the Blue Gray Game, you had 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.880 the East West Shrine Game, you had the Hula Bawl, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.720 you had the Japan Ball, and you had the Senior Ball. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.720 So you had that all these players were able to 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.400 make a choice. Or I also went to maybe one, two, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.800 or three of the bowl games throughout at the end 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.760 of theirs college career. Do you like the way the 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.840 bowl games are for the players that are looking for 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.360 an opportunity in the NFL Or did you have that 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.680 access to that many when you came out of college 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.840 as we did and we had to make a decision 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.240 what bowl game we wanted to go to. Yeah, I 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.560 think now it's pretty much, you know, in terms of 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.000 the competition, I think the Senior Bowl still is the 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.360 premier bowl. If you get an invite to the Senior Bowl, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.160 ninety percent of the players that play in this bowl 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.400 game will be drafted. And again it's where you have 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.160 the most first rounders too. I mean I can easily 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.840 see a good thirty players through round one through round 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.600 three that will get drafted that what I saw down 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.400 here is probably one of the best groups of talent 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.520 that I've seen in a in a senior Bowl. And 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.959 think about last year Baker Mayfield played in this Bowl. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.720 Josh Allen played in this Bowl. So you can really 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.560 improve your stock and the players that even playing something 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.719 like last week was the East West Shrine game, right, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.040 so players from that game that really stood out have 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.680 moved on and come over here to the Reesa's Senior Bowl. 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:26.040 Jim Nagge, the executive director, leaves some invites available so 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.160 that players that do really shine in that game can 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.040 come out and come over. And the one guy who 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.240 really stands out to me is the offensive lineman from Elon. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.640 This guy is six six, three hundred and forty five pounds. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.800 He's a tackle all right, only you don't get to 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:45.520 know his name. Because he shined and dominated so greatly 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.600 last week in the East West Shrine, it was a 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.920 no brainer to bring him over here to the Reesa's 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.600 Senior Bowl, and he stood up. He's gone against a 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.600 great pass rushers that are down here, like Montrese Sweat 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.600 from from Mississippi State, and they've really showed that they 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.959 can stand up against some of the top pass rushers 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.400 that are down here. Well, we'll be keenly interested to 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.880 see and here not only from you, Jim and Tom 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.240 You're analysis, but other analysis out there about you say, 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.480 it's a good crop of talent down there, but at 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.840 the combine, like they are going to be a bunch 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.480 of key players pushed down into that range where the 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.440 Bears are going to be drafting since they do not 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.720 have a first or second round pick. Yeah, that's gonna 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.800 be a critical part of it because you know, again, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.679 quarterbacks are going to drive the draft. We've seen it. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.199 Even the Bears they traded up to get Mitchell Turbsky, 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.200 and you see teams always trade up to do it. 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.200 Kansas City they traded up to get Patrick Mahomes. And 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.520 I'll tell you what, there's some good quarterbacks and I 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.960 think all eight of these quarterbacks are going to get 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.240 a shot somewhere. You know, mcsorley's a probably the only 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.880 one from Penn State that's really not a true pocket passer. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.600 We know he runs a little bit more of the 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.600 RPO stuff in terms of the play action stuff. But 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.480 Daniel Jones is here from Duke. He is definitely going 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.800 to be a first round pick. I like Drew Locke 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:04.000 from the Missoo Tigers. I think he's really had a good, 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.559 good week. The kid from Auburn, Jarrett Stidham, he has 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.480 really impressed me too. I think he has definitely improved 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.600 his stock. And then Gardner Minshew from Washington State. He 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.520 put out a clinic in accuracy today in the red zone. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.240 So quarterbacks are gonna move up and think about it. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.360 I didn't even bring up some of the underclassmen that 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.480 have declared. You know, obviously when you look at Haskins 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.280 at Ohio State, a lot of people think he may 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.640 be the first quarterback off the board. But it's gonna 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.680 do what then if all these quarterbacks go then I 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.920 just mentioned potentially four that could go in the first round. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.839 It's gonna push some good players down the draft board. 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.840 Jim Miller is in Mobile, Alabama. Tom Fair here in 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.400 town along with Jeff Jonia. This is bears All Access 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.880 brought to you by IgGs Energy. Chuck Baganto introduced today. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.800 I think widely from what I've read and just talking 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.079 to reporters here at Allisall earlier this morning, they got 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.360 a good vibe from this coach and he feels very 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.040 fortunate to be here thirty three years in coaching and 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.800 then sitting out last year. You know, I can't tell 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.480 you how excited I am to be back on the 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:14.320 grass and at such a special, special place. And so 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:19.360 I'm I'm very very grateful, and I'm thankful and very 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.040 excited obviously to be a bearer. Yeah. You know, as 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.000 he told me that there is nobody to root for 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.880 anymore last year. You know, when he's watching games, he's 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.840 just watching games. There's no investment in terms of who's 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.520 who he's coaching or who he's rooting for here. And 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.560 it'd spend some time in the NFL office, time working 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.120 with officials as a consultant, and he got a different 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.079 perspective of life behind the scenes there. Yeah, you get 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.880 to see the good and the bad of the NFL 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.360 season and it's entirety. You sit in the room full 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.480 of monitors where you get to watch every game. You 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.720 get to watch how the officials react, You get to 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.640 watch the different styles developing in the RPO offenses as 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.760 opposed of the different styles of defenses now that you 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.959 have to put on the field to counter or counteract 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:05.320 against the RPO offenses, and it's probably as beneficial to 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.840 Chuck Pogano to sit out there and watch the development 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.120 of the NFL as it was for Vic Fangio to 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.440 be around Matt Naggy before he gets a head coaching job, 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.120 to get more exposure to the RPO offense. And you know, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.040 one thing about Chuck Pogano is a lot of times, 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.480 you know how many what's the percentage you look at 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.600 all these guys that are hired this year in the NFL, 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.120 whether you're a coordinator or a new head coach, you're 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.760 coming into a project that you need drastic improvement as 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.719 quickly as you can get it done or you will 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.320 be fired again. Chuck Pogano is coming into a team 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.000 that has elder statement leadership in the locker room, It's 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.320 got a syste him in place, that has championship caliber 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.000 and qualities to it. He was able to spew off 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.840 all the interceptions, the turnovers, and everything that the analytics 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.040 that complemented this defense. So now you think about everything 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.200 that Chuck Pogano has gone through in the last five 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.160 years in terms of his coaching and health up and 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.680 downs that he's been able to work himself through to 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.120 be able to step in at the Chicago Bears and you, man, 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.600 you have a super Bowl caliber defense that's you know, 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.360 putting your lap just like we are giving Kalel Mack 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.960 at the end of training camp. Yeah, I think it 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.400 comes with the expectations when he says, hey, we want 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.800 to be great, you know, meaning to you know, go 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.840 back to the eighty five Bears and how great that 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.800 defense was. I think he comes with a lot of credibility. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.520 I mean, Chuck Pagano has been with teams that's had 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.119 great defenses. You just go back to the days in Baltimore. 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.160 He knows what it looks like and he knows what 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.880 it takes to be great. So you know, you look 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.520 at a team like last year, like Jacksonville. You know, 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.320 they talk big, they talk like they're they got a 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.200 great roster in all talent to all those talented players 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.120 on the defensive side of the board, and lo and 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.600 behold some games they got lit up for forty five points. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.120 So I think for the players aspect of it, they've 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.920 got to live up to it too. You know, you 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.240 can't just walk into the building hallis Hall, and stride 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.600 out to the field and think that you're gonna be 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.200 great if you don't put in the work. So I 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.440 think Chuck Poganno will definitely challenge these defenders. And they 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.200 are mature guys that I think do understand it for 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.040 the Chicago Bears. But I think they'll all push themselves 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.880 accordingly to reach the greatness that they want to be. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:11.680 I think he's got the right group of guys to 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.320 do it. He's already said many text messages from his guys. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.280 They're ready to go already. These are a group of 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.720 guys that love the game. You gotta love the game. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.200 You gotta really love the game to put in the work. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.000 He says he's going to keep it likable and learnable. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.360 An acronym for kill sounds worse than it is. But 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.240 he's gonna let him loose because he has an aggressive mindset, 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.520 that's for sure. Here more on Chuck Pagano Hope here 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.840 from Charles Letto Junior, as well from Orlando, Florida at 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.280 the Pro Bowl.

Um? Yeah, Coach 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.280 Easton very great. Harry's a great coach. Man. Um. He 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.760 came in and he just wants to find tune some 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.840 of the things that I already I'm already good at man, 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:45.560 and he knows I'm athletic, you know, if I can 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.440 move really well, um, good with my hands, things like that. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.440 But you can have all those great tools, but you 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.040 got to find tune it and you know, dial into 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.160 the technique and the details of your blocking.

Well. Well, Charles, Jim 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.200 Miller here, congratulations on a great year and going to 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.040 the Pro Bowl. I saw you guys tweet out the 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.760 family photo today. There's so many Bears down there. That's 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.200 got to feel pretty good to see your teammates getting 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.040 the opportunity to enjoy such a great honor of being 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.720 and playing in the Pro Bowl. Oh. Absolutely, it really is. Um. 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.280 Just hanging out with these guys again, was picking off 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.639 when we left off. We having fun in the huddle. 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.679 It's to read Cody and then you know, be a 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.880 team over there jumping around and Cal Fuller and Eddie 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.560 out there. This is really cool. As to seeing all 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:40.080 the boy Charles Letto Junior, our guest here on Bears 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.080 All Access with Jeff, Tim and Jim as we get 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.480 you set for the Pro Bowl. From the eyes of 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.040 Charles Letto Junior, it's not all work, obviously, but you're 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.520 you're with all these stars of the league that fans 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:56.280 and and uh and coaches have put in there, and 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.639 for you for being the first time, and for a 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.960 lot of these guys, all these guys being for the 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:05.400 first time. Are you drawn on the experience? Are you 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.440 talking to these other guys from around the league about 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.840 how they go about their business just from the general 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.520 practice time and time you're spending with them. Yeah, absolutely, 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.600 just not too long ago. Talking to guys like I'm 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.119 talking to Trent Williams, somebody who I look up to, 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:21.760 somebody who I think is like one of the best 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.160 tackles in the league, and I'm just trying to pick 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:24.879 his brains so I can get to the position with 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:26.840 he's at, because I still feel like I'm far away 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.439 from Mordat in the league. So it's just really cool, like, 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:31.880 you know, hanging out with these guys talking to him, 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.440
