<v Speaker 1>day and now welcome to Bears All Access. You're all

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Access passing to Chicago Bears football. Bears All Access is

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by IGS Energy and sponsored by Athletical

<v Speaker 1>Physical Therapy and CDW. Yeah, I belong everybody. Back at

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>it here, Jeff Joniac and Tom Thayer and Tom at

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the season where to begin? Right now, this very second.

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>The Bears at the number two seed of the NFC,

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and they'd be hosting the La Rams, the seventh seed

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>in the NFC. It's just fun to think about. There's

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of football left to play, but another

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 1>win in the NFC would certainly harden their stance toward

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>that end. Dummy, you know how many carts you have

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>before the horse by hooking break? If you even listen

0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>that topics they start this show six weeks, I have

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>all season. Hey listen, you have a whole in front

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of that car. I understand that, but it's fun to

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about. It's fun to daydream a little bit. I mean, hey, listen,

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the NFL's putting this stuff out there, putting playoff matchups

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.759
<v Speaker 1>already out there. Who's playing who and when it's fun

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>to think about. I think you should just focus on

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the Rams for this Monday night. See what type of

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>team that you can bring out to Los Angeles. He

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 1>had a bad experience there last year, and see if

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you can turn it around and have the growth out

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of the offense that you need in the consistency out

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>of the defense that you've had. No the defense has

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>done a good job just making sure they don't score

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of points. The Bears just haven't scored a

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 1>lot of points against the Ram. They split the last

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>two meetings. To me, it's coming around to be a

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>bit of an interesting rivalry because that eighteen game. The

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Rams are ticked off how the Bears beat them. They

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>they just didn't believe the Bears were better than I mean,

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>they went to the Super Bowl obviously and lost, but

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I remember covering super Bowl week that week, and you know,

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>came up that the Bears had somewhat of a game

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>plan that Bill Belichick used to stop them. So that's

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the back of their mindset. To me, there's a

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>little rivalry Bruin. Yeah, there is. You know, there's two

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>young head coaches that have taken over organizations that needed

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to get a little spark going and they have both

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>been able to do that. Now, when you get into

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>this year of each of the coaches and the battles

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that they've had, wins and losses, you know, it's another

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're all Marquee showcases. You know, the game at

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the Coliseum, the game at Soldier Field, and now the

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>game at the new Ram Stadium that Jeff, I gotta

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>believe if this was being played under normal circumstances, fifty

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>five to sixty percent of the fans would be Chicago fans.

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>And I think it would be a great spectacle to

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>see on Monday night opening of your new stadium and

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>seeing it filled with blist. You know, doug On, well

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that people had that one circled. First of all, it's

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.399
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful place. I mean, that's number one, and that's

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>a destination. Obviously it's la and you are exactly right.

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>The Bears fans would have gobbled up tickets. It would

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>have been quite the showcase game on Monday Night football,

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>no question about it. Well, you know last year when

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>we are at the Coliseum and you could see everybody

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>filter in from every different direction. When that stadium opened,

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, two out of every three people that were

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>coming in that we're sporting some type of Bear jersey

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.239
<v Speaker 1>or color. So it would have equalled it this year.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>But you would have been here, you'd been able to

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>hear the Bears a lot more because the sound would

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.119
<v Speaker 1>not escape with like it does the old Coliseum under

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the roof of the new stadium. This is Bears All Access,

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by IGS Entergy, Jeff Joniak and Tim

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>There with our producer Julio Rosas, Jordan Trentup, Dan Burrelly

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>also our producers. Tonight we got radio analysts of the

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Rams coming up to Marco far the former Rams defensive tackle,

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>will also be joined by dhc He's been the star

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to finish the job the last two weeks on defense

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Bears. Outstanding Special Teams player DeAndre Houston Carson

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>joined us at six thirty. Here's a snipp today Town

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>from Nick Foles because the number one topic that comes

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>up is a Hi, the offense going to improve, But

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>two I got a deal there in Donald, so there's

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>some insight here from the Bevers quarterback. Trust. You know,

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>every team has a different plan for players is talented

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>as him. And I was his teammate once upon time,

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was when he was younger, and I just

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>remember going through practice and I didn't really know who

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>he was. I think he was Rookie of the year

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.799
<v Speaker 1>and it was his second year. I'm like, why can't

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>we block this guy? Like we have two guys on

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>him and we are still not blocking him. And then

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>years later I realize why. The dude's unbelievable. So obviously

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>we have to respect and teams had different plans for him.

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, when you play

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a game, it comes down to trust in your teammates.

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>You can't focus on him. The dude might make a

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>couple plays in the game like he's one of the

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>best there is, so he might, but the game's not

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>over after he makes one play. You keep moving on.

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>So the big thing is getting going through this week,

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>having our plan for their defense, and then going out

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>there and executing and ultimately trusting him one another and

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>playing as one. But these days are huge, watching the

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 1>practice film and like an hour so whenever we will

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>will be huge. Because then we can make corrections. But

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously he's a talented player and I'll look forward to

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>playing against him. Was that your approach when you played

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>great players, Tommy? I mean, you know he's gonna make

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a player too. Just can't focus on it wrecking your

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>game plan. No, but you know you have to have

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a thought process going in there as an offensive lineman,

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>as an offensive line So if you're an uncovered offensive lineman, Jeff,

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you can never be hitting nobody. You do not have

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the luxury of just sit there and scan somebody. You

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>gotta go and you gotta fortify the block of Aaron Donald.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>You got to go to the backside of whomever's blocking him.

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And if you're an uncovered lineman to the right side,

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 1>you gotta bay elbow to have you have your buddies backs.

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 1>That's the whole game. There's not a play where there's

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>an offensive lineman they should not have some type of

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>contact with somebody to ultimately take a toll on them

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>as a game wears on. And that would be your

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>plan for Aaron Donald hit as much as possible. Well,

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Jeff, listen, we're not introduced to this plan,

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>but we saw a plan like this last year in

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders game, after a team got hurt and when

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>they went after and they attacked Khalil Mack relentlessly, they

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>gave an im medium indication those other ten guys will

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>beat us, but you're not gonna beat us. And I

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's the same approach that you have to have

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 1>with Aaron Donald. You have to attack him from every

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>possible angle. All right, we'll talk about it with DeMarco Far,

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 1>the Rams radio analysts coming up on our extra report.

<v Speaker 1>been doing the games now on the radio? Oh my gosh,

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>let's see. Uh since two thousand and eight on a

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>pregame show and then nine rotated to the booth. Well

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>getting there, Like Tom always says, you get a decade

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>as a player, you get a decade in the now.

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>You know. Now you get two careers going, so you're

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>all You're still a young man too, no doubt. Jack

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Snow was a guy that did the broadcast when I

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>was a player, and uh, you know we always talked

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>about doing this post career and you know here I am.

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I love it, man. It's the closest thing you can get,

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the plan without the paint. I love. Yeah, I hear you.

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>You know Jack Snow because Tom and I when we

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>go to the o RCA Dome in Saint Louis and

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>boy to Sofi Stadium looks so different, right and DeMarco

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about but Jack Snow. We loved talking to

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Jack Snow Domer, like you know, he gave time. I

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know why, and I'm gonna embarrass you a little bit.

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>He called you two ton timey remember why why When

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>when I was at Notre Dame, Jack Snow used to

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>come back and help at spring practice. So over the

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>course of my four years I got to know him

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty well and talk to him socially after coaching and

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>after practicing stuff, and it was just, uh, it was

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>just great time getting to know Jack and his stardom

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and everything he meant to the Rams and professional football,

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>no doubt, Tom, have you ever seen his eyes? Was

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.959
<v Speaker 1>he wearing sunglasses? I bet he was? Um, well, you know,

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>we we got to when we got to see him,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>it was more of inside at the dome. Yeah, he

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, bum phillips. You know you don't wear a

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>hat indoors, so you know. Ye. Hey, So tell us

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>first of all about so far. We're bummed we can't

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>travel right now, as I don't know if you guys

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>have been traveling at all as a as a radio crew,

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>but we're not traveling. It looks like a masterpiece. When

0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I pull up the game the team notes every day,

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the first thing you see. It's it's like the

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 1>new shiny toy of the National Football League and almost

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.599
<v Speaker 1>their centerpiece facility. It's sure, it costs a lot and

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>sure does look nice. How's how's it playing? It's gorgeous.

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>It's play as well. I mean, look, it's built straight up.

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I believe field level is three stories or three floors

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>below ground, so it's built straight up. When they get

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>fans in there, they're gonna be right on top of

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you and it's going to be loud. And I love

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 1>the way they have the roofs. It's kind of like

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 1>a Foe roof. During the day, it looks like one stadium.

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Then when it turns night, when it's when it gets

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>dark outside and they raise the lights. I mean, it's

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>made for primetime. It is absolutely gorgeous. I mean you

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys have been the Dallas remember when Dallas was

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>brand new, the same feeling. It's like, wow, this is unbelievable.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.599
<v Speaker 1>But just take that up a notch. They've done a

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.959
<v Speaker 1>great job at the stadium. Hopefully the team can do

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>a great job defending that place. It's gonna be tough. Well, hey, DeMarco,

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>speaking of defending that place, So you were listed at

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>six one two seventy six. Aaron Donald is listed at

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 1>six one two eighty in the Landed Giants where you

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>guys playing, you were so successful. What trait do you

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>need in order to be six so successful at that size? Well,

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>for me, it was a great get off grant anticipation.

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I gotta jump the snap count. I mean, I really

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>got to get into you before you get into me.

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you got you know, fifty sixty sometimes

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, eighty pounds on me, it's gonna be tough

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>for me to move you or be effective. But that's

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.839
<v Speaker 1>the difference between me and Aaron. Aaron is just so

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.199
<v Speaker 1>darn strong. I mean, he is absolutely a monster so

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and he's lighter than what you think he is, so

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>he can actually project himself into you. And then he's

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>got enough strength to get his hands or get your

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>hands off him. And he's always in the play The

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>second thing is football, like you know what's coming, read

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>those stances, get into the playbook, get into the film

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 1>study room, see if you can get a jump on

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.319
<v Speaker 1>that offense and know where they're going, and then and

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 1>then try to beat him there. But with Aaron, looked,

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 1>he is so good, so strong, so everything that even

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>if he's out of position, it's still a good position

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>for him. He can just put your body in the hole.

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>If you've hooked him. So he's absolutely tremendous and I

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>agree with him. Man, he can actually get better from

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 1>this point. There's a lot of things that he can

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>actually improve on to get better. You know, being an

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman and playing against Reggie White, the Great Reggie White.

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.719
<v Speaker 1>If he lined up over you, you know that you

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.719
<v Speaker 1>are a marked man and you you're gonna have a

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>long day. So watching the Redskins game, Aaron Donald lines

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>up over the left tackle, over the right tackle, over

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.599
<v Speaker 1>the right guard, and then he's started sociding who he

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>wants to line up. So if he chooses you early,

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>do you should you consider yourself a marked man? By

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Donald? Well, I mean you know who you are.

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>What do they say at poker if you can't spot

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the mark and under an hour it's you. Yeah, So

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it's an obvious passing down, I mean

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>during the middle of a game where it's you know

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it's time to make a play and he lines up

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>over you, that tells you something. Either you're that guy

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.959
<v Speaker 1>or he feels good from that spot. But you have

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to move him around because you know every protection scheme

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>is both to stop him. So if you vary the

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>places he's gonna be. It just makes it tougher for

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the offense to pick him up, saying with J. J. Watt,

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>he moved around. You didn't know where he was going

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to be from snap to snap, and that affected the offense.

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, here's a nugget for you. It just occurred

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to me. You know, I knew you were a great player.

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember you were living in a half sacks season,

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but for some reason I had Aaron Donald stats up

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and I just you, guys, he's just played his hundredth game.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>You played a hundred games in the NFL. Now here's

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the deal you had. You had thirty six and a

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>half sacks. I'd say that's a very very good career. Right,

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you were disruptive, you're you were claps in the pocket. Yeah,

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>your young friend over there right now, he's got seventy

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half and it seems like he's just

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>getting going down. Here's where you got him though, he's

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>yet to intercept the pass you got. You got three

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and you and you had more tackles. So you can

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.079
<v Speaker 1>play that on your resume. You go toe to toe

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>with them, but oh, look look at their careers. One

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred games. So you see what you did, You see

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>what he's doing. Can you put that in the context

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>for us? No, I've never seen anything like this his production.

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Uh not from that position. No. I mean I used

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to love watching John Ramball play. I used to love

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.599
<v Speaker 1>watching Warren sat play. Right, young, You know all the

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>guys of my era, they were tremendous. They were they

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>were game wreckers, they were they were problems. But it's

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>been nothing like this to where you can win at

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.839
<v Speaker 1>will from anywhere. I mean, he can rush over just

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>about anybody on the offensive line and win. Uh yeah,

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>this is truly unbelievable. And there was a year I

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>believe it was two seasons ago where he finished with eleven.

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>He had a chance to break the record I held

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 1>for for Sax Buying and Terry Lyman for the for

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the Rams, and he finished with eleven, and he kept

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>staring me down from the bench like eventually I'll get you.

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>And the next year I think he had twenty Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>two elevens. He had an eleven and fifteen and seventeen,

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and they went up to twenty and a half and eighteen.

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>He he blew your doors up, absolutely, and that's what

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 1>he said without even saying it. Hey, DeMarco, is Jared

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Goff the key ingredient this offense or is there another

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>ingredient that equally is important. Well, he's the guy, he's

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback, he's the trigger man. I mean, yeah, he's

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the most important guy. You have to keep him upright

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and you've got to get him going if you're going

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to be successful on game day. But I would say

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the running game. Sean mcvay's offense is dependent upon a

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>running game. Getting the defense to buy play action. That's

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>how you get Jared Goff on the edges. That's how

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you create space for those those those crossing routes, those

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>tight end screens and whatnot. If you don't buy run,

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you could just sit on it and get pressure on

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff. That's what teams did last season. So yeah,

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's the guy. If Jared Goffs throws for

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>three hundred, he's the player of the week. That's awesome.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>But I bet there was a credible and a consistent

0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 1>running game that kind of paced him, So I think

0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that's most important. Daryl Henderson or a key Acres, the

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 1>rookie they just brought in, or Malcolm Brown They've been

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>using three guys pretty much all season long. It does

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>not matter who carries the football, but you have got

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to keep the defense honest and pace your golf Gram's

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>analysts DeMarco farre the former defensive tack over the Rams,

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>our guest here on Bears Out Access, brought to you

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>by IGS Energy with Jeff and Tom breaking things down.

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at your tight ends, Gerald Everett. He's got

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>some big play to him. Tyler Higbee. You know he's

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>got three to all came against the Eagles in one game,

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>but he's proven to be worth every penny. What did

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>those two add to the dynamic? Because we could easily

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>just talk about Robert Woods, we can easily talk about

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cup. But what are those guys bringing to the table. Well, there,

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>there we look. Gerald Everett is a big play waiting

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to happen, and they move him all over. He's kind

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 1>of the age. They line him up as a fullback

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 1>in the eye and he can lead up on linebackers.

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Is not his Ballywood, but he's willing to do it.

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>But that opens everything up. Think forty nine ers offense

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>with their fullback. It's just it's the same sort of

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>weapon you can use in the passing game. And Higby

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 1>is just like George Kittle. I mean, George Kittle, I

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>think is the top of the league. If you line

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>up with a smaller guy, he can block you. If

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>you line up with a bigger guy, he can run

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>around those guys. Higby is up that same vein. So

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 1>they have this a similar approach with the tight ends

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that the Niners do. Depending on what you do to

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 1>line up against their personnel group, their tight ends should

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>have the advantage or a one on one advantage. So

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, Higby is a guy that kind of goes quiet,

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>he goes dormant, and then all of a sudden he

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>pops up and has you know, a great stretch or

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a big game or a big month or whatnot. And

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Gerald Everett has been a guy that's kind of found

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>his niche in the offense. So you know, I'd like

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to go twelve. A lot of people will like to

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>go twelve two tight end sets and stay in it.

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>That keeps defenses kind of balanced, and you can pick

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that apart. But you know, it's just been a little

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>bit tough, especially last week when the forty nine ers

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of get ahead and you you have to throw

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to keep up. Hey, DeMarco Jalen Ramsey. Um, you know

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>he's pretty out, pretty loud, instigating type of guy. So

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 1>is it something that you want to match wits with

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>him or just ignore him every time that he has

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a chance to be on the play. Well, if you're

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna match wits, you better be pretty good at trash talk,

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and you better have thick skin because he's gonna stay

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>on you. But man, I mean he has been worth

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>every penny you hear about guys and their reputations and

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>then you see it up close, you get to see

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>him in practice. First of all, his body, it looks

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>like he's from Mars. I mean, they just don't make

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 1>cornerbacks that toll, that lean, with that long of arms,

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.719
<v Speaker 1>that can run like that. So that's impressive. I mean,

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>he's really good in one on one. He can shut

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>you down, to shut you down corner that is that guy.

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>But he's also the Rams hurt his hitter right now.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean he is a violent tackler. I mean he

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 1>really really sets the tone defensively. So and they're moving

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.199
<v Speaker 1>him around there, put them in the slot, they put

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>them outside of the numbers. That putting him just about everywhere,

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and he can cover just about anybody. So love his demeanor,

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 1>love his attitude. As long as it's within the white lines,

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to keep it there. Yeah, we found that

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.399
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit with Golden Tape. That seemed to

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 1>be a person issue there. So they did hit him

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.639
<v Speaker 1>with that one. A little bit of fine it. What

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>can I make a point there? Yeah, every golden whatever

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Golden tape got at the end of the game. And look,

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I never advocate fighting and throwing punches or whatnot, but

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 1>watching those two go at it during the game, Yeah,

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 1>he earned everything he got, really he did. De Marco,

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>What is your view and what are they talking about

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 1>in LA about the five and one Bears, because we

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>certainly hear a lot of local concern and whatnot despite

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>that record. What's what's the more view from your point

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of view? Now as you've broken down some of their tape, Well,

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the first thing that jumps out is their defense just big, strong,

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.720
<v Speaker 1>up up the gun. And look, we've the Rams have

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.960
<v Speaker 1>played Chicago, so we know about a key Hicks, I

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like Bala Nichols in the middle. I mean, Khalil Mack

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 1>is the guy that you have to account for like

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Donald, and you know Robert quinn is. You know

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.440
<v Speaker 1>he was here, so the Rams know him and good linebackers.

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 1>So the first thing that jumps out is defense is

0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be tough to move the football on the ground,

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and Chuck mcgonno really has them playing well, so that's

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be tough sledding for the Rams. The other side,

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 1>it depends on what Nick Foles you get. Nick Foles

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 1>is a guy that, in my opinion, when he's hot

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 1>or when he's on, can give anybody fits from elite

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>on down. So you hope you catch the bad nick Foles,

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and you hope that the Bears can't replicate what the

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers did last week with these jet sweeps

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.639
<v Speaker 1>and these tosses away from Aaron Donald, just making the

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>defense have to really sing for their supper. So you

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.360
<v Speaker 1>hope some of that can't translate. But like you said,

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>if Nick Foles gets rolling, if that offense gets rolling,

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>couples with that defense. And I know some people like

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 1>to say that the Bears maybe aren't as good as

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the five and one record, which I don't understand. They're

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.239
<v Speaker 1>five and one. You are what your record says you are.

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>But if the offense can match what the defense is doing,

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the Bears are going to be in it

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>come December. Hey, Mark DeMarco. When you look at the

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Bears defensive back Kyle Fuller, in the last couple of weeks,

0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 1>he's had a couple of game changing plays. One of

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 1>them the flag was picked up, one of the flag

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.920
<v Speaker 1>was kept on the ground, and they were both legal hits.

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 1>As an ex defensive player, when you see those types

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>of hits, whether they happen on behalf of the Rams

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 1>or other defensive players around the league, is it frustrating

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to you or do you just say, hey, that's the

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.640
<v Speaker 1>way of the game now, even though it's so disappointing. Yeah,

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>there was a hit here a couple of weeks ago.

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, it was actually up in Washington, the one

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that knocked oh my gosh, who was starting for Alex Smith.

0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Allen. Yeah, Kyle Allen, Yes, Kyle, And yeah, I

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 1>mean he's scrambling for a first down and Jalen Ramsey,

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>like we talked about, came up and just absolutely tattooed him. Now,

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 1>it's an angle tackle. There's one guy trying to dive

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>out for a first down and there's a corner or

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a DV coming up to stop him, and they flagged

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>him for it. They gave him a free first down

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and knocked the guy out put in Alex Smith. But

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, if what do you want him to do?

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You can't let guys just have first downs. You're not

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.399
<v Speaker 1>thinking player safety, you're thinking off the field. So I

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 1>always judge it by this. If the defender had the

0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.680
<v Speaker 1>chance to do something else, then you should try to

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>err on the you know, the side of safety. Get it,

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 1>don't penalize your team and try not to hurt someone

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>trying not to take your guy in the head. But

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>if it's his bang bang, there's nothing he can do.

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>You know. I feel bad for the officials they have

0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to make those calls, but it's like, man, I mean,

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the defense they're playing football too, you know, you can't

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>penalize them just for doing their jobs. So it's just

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>one of those things, and it's one of those things

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you have to swallow and move on the next play.

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, demarc I'll appreciate all the time, and good

0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>luck on Sunday and good luck for the rest of

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the season. For you. Guys, and too bad we can't

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>say hello when we get there. But maybe down the road,

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe in the playoffs. Who knows, no doubt. I hope

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:47.159
<v Speaker 1>so good. A good talk to you, Rams Radio analyst

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to Marco far always a pleasant personality who enjoyed on

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.160
<v Speaker 1>him over the years when we went down to Saint Louis,

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Tommy and visit with him. I had some great, great

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:56.920
<v Speaker 1>folks down there in Saint Louis. I'm sure they missed

0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 1>their Rams, but they got a home now with the

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 1>La Rams. We'll talk about all that with DeAndre Houston

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.400

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>news of the day injury wise, Tommy rest days for

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Ted Yean Junior and Jimmy Graham and Danny Trevathan. So

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>that's been pretty much the case so far this season.

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>A key mix out with an illness. Today, Shrik McManus

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.200
<v Speaker 1>working through another injury growing now it's a hamstring and

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Buster Screen with an ankle. He left the game briefly

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, So he's important in this matchup, there is

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.119
<v Speaker 1>no question because of Cooper cup in that slot is

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>one of the best slot guys in the NFL. Listen

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:06.640
<v Speaker 1>that position in the NFL, Jeff, it's equally as important

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>as any defensive position out in the field, and sometimes

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>it's more of a picked on position. So yeah, the

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 1>importance of Buster's Screen since he's come in here, his

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 1>ability to tackle, his willingness, and the desire to play

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 1>physical brand of football. Hey, it's it's been good for

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the Bears and he has an important role on this team,

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>especially against this upcoming offense and limited today Dion bush

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Is he tries to get back with his hamstring and

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Richeed Coward time with a finger injury today, so he

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 1>was limited at left guard. That makes me nervous because

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>one thing about playing against Aaron Donald, if you don't

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 1>have perfect hands and feet, it's almost impossible to try

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 1>to get in front of him and sustained contact to

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 1>keep him off the running back or off of the quarterback.

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna have to go in there with a healthy,

0:23:56.280 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 1>confident offensive line. And you know, I guess Rahat is

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the best candidate to put in there, But if it

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 1>had to be Alex Bars, he has experience. Yeah, working

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.439
<v Speaker 1>through his shoulder injury himself, he was a full go today.

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Interesting to hear DeMarco Farr talk about it. We saw

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it on tape when you watch the Rams game. Yes,

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the flash sweeps and running away from Aaron Donald, keeping

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:17.920
<v Speaker 1>things on the edges. Do you think that's the best

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 1>way to go about it. Yeah. I think in any

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>pass play, you got to get the ball out of

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 1>your hands of the quarterback as quickly as possible. I

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think he ever wanted him to know the direction

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.239
<v Speaker 1>contact that's coming from, and you got to take an

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>advantage of his assets. If you have a guy that

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 1>has such tremendous burst off the line of scrimmage. You

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 1>can trap him, you can run draws against him to

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>take him out of his confident space on the field.

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Seven and a half sacks right now leading the NFL

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 1>for this guy, Aaron Donald. Bears have gotten you to

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:51.439
<v Speaker 1>seeing him here the last couple of years. All right,

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>time to welcome in our guest tonight here on Bears

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>All Access, Bears safety and special team star DeAndre Houston

0:24:57.680 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Carson to the program. Welcome to six seventy to score

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and All Access. How are you doing tonight, DHC? I'm

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>doing very well. Thank you for having me our pleasure.

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for your time. What a wonderful last couple

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of games for not only the team, but you know,

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 1>for you in terms of the opportunity to get in

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 1>there at the end of the game at at the

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.880
<v Speaker 1>most critical time to try and finish finish the game,

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and you've had your hand on the ball in both cases.

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.879
<v Speaker 1>How does that make you feel right now? Well, like

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you said that, the number one thing is obviously one

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was definitely very happy to do my part

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.640
<v Speaker 1>at the end of those games and to help contribute

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to the team win Hey, DeAndre, I want to go

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 1>over those two plays real quickly. So at the Tampa game,

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.120
<v Speaker 1>when you guys were in the huddle to last play

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.959
<v Speaker 1>the game, did you guys mention around the huddle, Hey,

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it's fourth down, so understand the importance of this down,

0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>because again echoes back to the Tom Brady thing, thinking

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>that it might have been third down. Did you guys

0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>say it amongst yourself that it's fourth down? You know what,

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm not actually too sure if it was relayed you know,

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 1>around the guys, but I could see for myself. You know,

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I knew it was fourth down, and I think I

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>think most of the guys knew. Um, you know, just

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in that situation, looking to the sideline and getting the

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>personnel and and looking at the down the distance. That's

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>something that are that are safety stid. You communicate on

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 1>every play. Um, so I don't think there might there

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>might have been any extra emphasis, but the safety stid

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 1>communicated down the distance and the person down group us

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 1>in the game. Okay, now let's go to the last

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.359
<v Speaker 1>play in the Carolina Pathers game. You guys break the

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>defensive huddle, you back into your position. You see kind

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>of a semi stack receivers. Take us through from that

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 1>moment on what you're thinking and how you just kind

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:50.000
<v Speaker 1>of like slid so confidently into the position that you

0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:52.680
<v Speaker 1>were defending where you made the interceptions. But can you

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 1>take us what is going through your mind when you

0:26:55.359 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>see the offensive formation setting up in front of you. Yes,

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>I was just I was just considering what what my

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.360
<v Speaker 1>role was and then you know what the offense potentially

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.639
<v Speaker 1>could be presenting us with, and so it was just

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 1>happen to be perfect storm that was that was my

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:16.120
<v Speaker 1>zone on that play, and so I was just thinking,

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, get back to my get back to my landmark,

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and the D line did the great job. Russian and

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:26.160
<v Speaker 1>throw was there and just came down with it. DeAndre

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Houston Carson our guest here on Bears All Access with

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Tom Thayer. I'm jeff Jonah Yak. I got a lot

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of compliments from teammates. There's a lot of respect for

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you in that locker room, and you know, a Keem

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Hicks in particular, uh was was very strong in his

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>postgame comments about what you are all about, what your

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 1>preparation is all about, and you know, and I had

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.920
<v Speaker 1>your special teams coordinator Chris Tabor on the Bears Coaches

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Show on WBBM on Monday night. We talked a great

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>deal about you as well, because you know, I look

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.680
<v Speaker 1>at you as just a pure football player and not

0:27:57.119 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>put into the box that sometimes happens with special teams stars,

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and I would put you in that category as well.

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:06.680
<v Speaker 1>But the work that must be done to be prepared

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 1>defensively to go in at any moment because you don't know,

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't know what the situation is going to be here,

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you are going in these last two games a clench

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:21.719
<v Speaker 1>critical moments. Just how do you fare it out? Your

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 1>time and you and your your amount of investment in

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 1>terms of tape watching with all the defense tape and

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 1>then you got to do all your special team stuff

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:34.719
<v Speaker 1>as well, how do you balance that? Yeah, so as

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 1>far as tape goes, you know, the way, the way

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I look at it is, I'm a starter on two

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>different phases of the game. So you know, obviously I

0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>watched it. I watched a lot of tape on special

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>teams um and I prepare it like a starter in

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that aspect and then on defense. Just you know, the

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 1>way the NFL works out and football works out. You

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 1>always have to be ready. So I try to watch

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.400
<v Speaker 1>film like I'm a starter as well on that aspect

0:28:58.080 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>um and that way. And that's something I've been trying

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to do since my rookie year. I had a coach

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 1>gave me some really good advice and say, you know,

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>get your routine solidified, in your habits solidified so that way.

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 1>That way, when your time comes, you don't have to

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 1>change anything. You're already your routine's already the same, and

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be trying to scramble to try

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 1>to change things because it's your opportunity. You'll be ready

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.120
<v Speaker 1>for it when it comes. So that's the approach I've

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>tried to take. I try to take, you know, do

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the same thing on Monday's, Tuesday's, Wednesdays and leading up

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 1>to the game and my pregame routine. I tried to

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 1>do everything the same. That way, whenever the time comes,

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to to BATTERNI just be ready for it.

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't. You don't have to be nervous or like,

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:38.959
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, what I do next, because you know, hey,

0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>just a couple of weeks ago, I had a conversation

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 1>with Javam went whims and saying, you know, there were

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 1>times in his rookie year, especially against he was like,

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, don't don't put me in the game.

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't He admitted it, like, I don't. I don't

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 1>know if I'm ready, and he was. It turned out

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>he was. He was ready. He played a really good

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 1>game against the Vikings in Week seventeen. But not every

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 1>player learns that right away, that it is a commitment

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that you have to do. You have to do it

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 1>that way. And and in your case, who was the

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>coach that told you that. I just assume you were

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be that way anyway without his advice, because

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you've just seen that type of a player. Yeah, so

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 1>my oldest Starger teams coach Jeff Rogers was the one

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 1>who who gained that piece of advice particularly, And also,

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you know my rookie year, I was kind of up

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and down too as far as being active and not

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>being actious. And there were some times so I didn't

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 1>know if I was going to be active until hour

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and a half before the game. So I just had

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to had to prepare like I was going to be up.

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's just something that stuck with me

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>since then. You know, d throughout my entire career, from

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the first game to my last game, I was on

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 1>kickoff return. So I take a big special interest and

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I have never been. This is probably the most exciting

0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>year because last week or two weeks ago during the broadcast,

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Jeff was making it a description. He said, nine and

0:30:56.200 --> 0:30:58.800
<v Speaker 1>a half yards deep and he's gonna take it out.

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>How exciting is that for you guys? Last week was

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a different animal because the kicker was kicking at ten

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 1>yards out of the back of the end zone. But

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>when you know that it's every ball is returnable because

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of Cordarrel Patterson. How exciting is that for you guys

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>as a group understanding no matter how far or what

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the hanging time is, there's a good chance you're coming

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>out with it. Yeah, it's definitely exciting. Anytime eighty four

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 1>has a ball in his hands, it's exciting. And so

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 1>for us, as you know, we just try to make

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>our blocks and give him any sort of alleyway because

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 1>we know he can go to distance or any play

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and so that, you know, that's exciting to be a

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>part of that. And it's also a great responsibility to

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 1>make sure that you know, we're doing our signments and

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>making our blocks and do what we need to do

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 1>because you know, we all want to be successful in

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that aspect of the game. You know, if you guys

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.600
<v Speaker 1>were going out to La and circumstances were normal, this

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 1>would probably be a majority Chicago crowd. As you go

0:31:54.560 --> 0:32:00.320
<v Speaker 1>into these stadiums, Atlanta, Mercedes stadiums, or even Carolina, how

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.520
<v Speaker 1>are you tapping into your emotions to make sure that

0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you're mentally prepared, emotionally prepared to go out and play

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a game from beginning till end, because you know you

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:13.720
<v Speaker 1>could have a little downtime in the course of the game.

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 1>But how what is the challenge of staying excited? It's

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.000
<v Speaker 1>excited the whole time. So again, I had a coach

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>told who said one time that execution fuels emotion, and

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>so I've always tried to operate in that way not

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to get too emotional. You know, before the game, when

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 1>you when you when you know the game plan and

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you're confident in the game planning, confident in the preparation

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you put in all week, and then you go out

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.240
<v Speaker 1>there and you execute what you've been practicing. To me,

0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that that feels emotional more than anything. And obviously, you know,

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the crowd noid and the adrenaline and all those sort

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>of things you know also play a major role in that.

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 1>But right now, I think that the saying holds even

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 1>more true just because you don't have that extra external

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 1>influence as far as you're adrenaline. So it's really about

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 1>executing your job, and when you do that, it's exciting.

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:05.719
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, there's there's times in the game

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>we're not having fans um, you know, if you can

0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 1>really tell, and I know for me um, like on

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 1>special teams, a lot of times I kind of depend

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 1>on the crowd noise to tell me what's going on,

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Like if the crowd if I'm making a block and

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the crowd is is screaming, I know that you know,

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the return is probably start running with the ball, funny

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to keep blocking it. So there's times were kind of

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of weird while I don't have that feedback,

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and so I just there's been a few times while

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I've been blocking, like five seconds after the whistle just

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know, I don't know that the whist

0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>has been blown. I don't know if he's down yet

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:38.720
<v Speaker 1>or not. So There's definitely like small things like that

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that I wouldn't have thought about before the year started.

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 1>That's been interesting playing without fans this year. Do you

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 1>know what it would have been interesting the last listening

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to the stadium the last two weeks, either your play

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>on the fourth down against the Tampa Bay or what

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:57.239
<v Speaker 1>you would have done to the Carolina stadium on an

0:33:57.320 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>interception of a play like that, So you know some

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of that noise in support or disappointment that you know

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you kind of walk out of the stadium. You know

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 1>what the feeling is because you've heard it before, but

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it would have been nice to hear for yourself in

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the last two weeks. Yeah, no, no doubt, no doubt.

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 1>And actually those two plays, and I think a lot

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 1>of times in football you can probably assess you're so

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:26.200
<v Speaker 1>locked in that sometimes you don't even notice what's going

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 1>on around you. Things just slow down and you're just

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:30.640
<v Speaker 1>like in the zone. And so for me, that's kind

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>of housetout the last the last two weeks. Like it.

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I don't know, I can't speak to that, but

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:37.879
<v Speaker 1>maybe it would have been different if there were fans there.

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:40.280
<v Speaker 1>But I just feel like I was just so zooned

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 1>in and locked in. I didn't really even notice whether

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it was quiet or loud or you know what I mean.

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what. From a broadcasting point of view,

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:50.959
<v Speaker 1>it Soldier Field where it Soldier Field. I cannot take

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:55.920
<v Speaker 1>my headset off, even during timeouts, because I did for

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:57.759
<v Speaker 1>a you know, for one of the games, and I

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 1>took it. It's like it's like you're in some he's

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:02.359
<v Speaker 1>backyard and there's a few people there and you hear

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>some rumbling noise, but that's about it unless the loudspeakers

0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:08.440
<v Speaker 1>are cranking music or something. It was too eerie for me.

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I also thrive on energy and enthusiasm, and that just

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:16.960
<v Speaker 1>natural thing that happens when you take the air, So

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 1>I have to keep my headset on with a lot

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 1>of crowd noise that's cranked up in there, just so

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't lose my focus. So I can only imagine

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 1>what it's like for you, guys. DeAndre Houston Carson, our

0:35:28.040 --> 0:35:32.359
<v Speaker 1>guest here on bears All Access. You know, you got

0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of history based on your roots at William

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and Mary, because whether people know it or not, it's

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>where you were taught the game there, you know, at

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.279
<v Speaker 1>a very key level. But you know, Mike Tomlin's a

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 1>class in ninety five, Sean mcdermock the class in ninety eight.

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>The great Marv Levy was a head coach there. Lou

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Holtz was a head coach there. Dan Quinn coach there

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 1>on an entry level as an assistant coach. There's a

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:03.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of coaches and that those types of minds of

0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>football that that came out of that institution one way

0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:08.560
<v Speaker 1>or another. Either he went there and played there or

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 1>they coached there at some point. Why is that in

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:15.360
<v Speaker 1>your opinions as a graduate and a product of William

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and Mary, you know, that's a that's a good that's

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a really good question. I would probably say it's just

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:27.120
<v Speaker 1>at a certain point when when you can name a

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 1>list like that of people who have gone before you,

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it becomes part of the culture. Um, it's

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, I don't know, football and South Florida

0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 1>or something. It's like, all these people have come out

0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:42.120
<v Speaker 1>of there, and you try to try to understand exactly why,

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's probably nuanced, um, exactly why that is.

0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:48.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think it becomes part of the culture. You know,

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you've seen people who have done it from where you are,

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and so you know what the blueprint is and you

0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:55.719
<v Speaker 1>know that it's it's possible, you can do it. So

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that's part of it. And then

0:36:57.320 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 1>also I think for coaching, at least that women Mary,

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's has to do it. You know, just

0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the type of people that go there, the type of

0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 1>people that attend that school. Um and not the same,

0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:09.719
<v Speaker 1>not the same everywhere else, but typically you know how

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:13.880
<v Speaker 1>how they motivated individuals and and guys who know how

0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to work and put the put the work in. So,

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:19.719
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I think it's probably nuanced, but but

0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:23.160
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely really cool to look at to look at

0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:25.479
<v Speaker 1>that list and know that you know you're in the line.

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Joe Brady even the offensive coordinator for the Panthers, Now

0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:31.839
<v Speaker 1>I was a teammate with him. Um I wait and Marry,

0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 1>so you know it's just it's pretty cool. Wait, you're

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 1>a teammate of his. Yeah, yeah, so we definitely played

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.719
<v Speaker 1>together one year, I really can't remember play together. Might

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 1>have played together two years. Um I waiting and Marry

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and a great guy, really good football coach obviously, but

0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.479
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be that's gonna be a little bit weird

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 1>because he's on the sideline now as a coaching and

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you're not that old yet. You get who hate to go.

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know he's I think he just turned

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:04.279
<v Speaker 1>thirty one or he's gonna turn thirty one. But that's

0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a great sir. I didn't know that one. That's a

0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a good nugget right there. And I interrupted you

0:38:09.040 --> 0:38:12.399
<v Speaker 1>said something about what DJ. I was just gonna say.

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 1>There was another coach on the staff as well, DJ Mangas.

0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:16.239
<v Speaker 1>We played together for a year as well. So it's just,

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, it goes to what you were talking about

0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 1>as far as the culture and all the guys who

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>come out of that program. I mean, it's pretty unique

0:38:23.000 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of that a D. Now that

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.840
<v Speaker 1>we're obviously five or six weeks into the regular season,

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.280
<v Speaker 1>considering you went what you went through in the off season,

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 1>do you feel that you did come in prepared physically

0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:39.160
<v Speaker 1>or would you would there? Would there would you change

0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>anything about the way you got prepared, knowing now what

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, but you never knew that before in the

0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 1>history of your football life, what you were going to

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.920
<v Speaker 1>get prepared for, the restraints, the time, and all the

0:38:51.000 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 1>new protocol going on. For me, I want to say

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I would change anything. It was it was in a

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.880
<v Speaker 1>weird way, a kind of a blessing in disguise, and

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:05.560
<v Speaker 1>in two ways when it come down to the way

0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the offseason went. We had a lot of time to

0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 1>just watch film obviously because we couldn't do practices for OTAs,

0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>so we're able to be very specific in detail with

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of with a lot of the film and

0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the assignments um and then for for

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 1>training purposes. It was it was unique because there was

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 1>a stretch of whatever it was, seven months straight where

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:31.239
<v Speaker 1>you could just focus on training the way you want

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 1>to train. And so for me it was, you know,

0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it was good to be able to

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of all that all that time that we had.

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:41.160
<v Speaker 1>And also you know, with my a daughter who was

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:42.879
<v Speaker 1>born in March, and so just being able to spend

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:45.160
<v Speaker 1>time with her and still you know, do what I

0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:46.680
<v Speaker 1>need to do. What it coust of my career was

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 1>it was a blessing in disguise as well. So now

0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I would change anything, and it was,

0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was kind of not fun, but it's

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:56.440
<v Speaker 1>interesting to be a part of to be a part

0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>of the season. Yes, it is. It's one that you

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 1>will never forget and hopefully the end of the rainbow

0:40:02.560 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 1>has some some great surprise and some great reward for

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 1>everybody involved. Before we let you go and really appreciate

0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:10.239
<v Speaker 1>your carmon outs in time with us for tonight. This

0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:13.600
<v Speaker 1>is DeAndre Houston Carton, the Bears safety and special teams

0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:15.920
<v Speaker 1>player as the Bears get ready for the Rams. Uh,

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>what's your what's your sneak peak preview of this Rams

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>team that? Uh, Now, you face the last two years

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.080
<v Speaker 1>in a row and in big moments. I mean it's

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a big, big attention game and this one is no different. Yeah.

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, Coach Pagano says something that I think is

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:35.440
<v Speaker 1>um very applicable. He says, this game is the biggest game, um,

0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's it's because it's the next game. And so

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 1>we try to take that approach. Um. They're they're a

0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 1>really good team, very well coached. You know, they got

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good players, and so we've just been

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>putting in a game plan and you know, hoping to

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:49.839
<v Speaker 1>go out there, EXEQ and you play at a high

0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>level out there on Monday night, Well, you have a

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>great time. Good luck and thank you so much for

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:56.719
<v Speaker 1>your time. You're having a great season. Man. Hope it's

0:40:56.880 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 1>hope it ends well. Okay, thank you for having me

0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:03.440

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>go a little up tempo the it's in the scheme.

0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Matt Naggie has done it many times over the course

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 1>of his coaching career. Tommy, but Nick Foles today asked

0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 1>when he feels is the best time for it because

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:47.319
<v Speaker 1>things were looking good. I think the big thing is communication,

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm constantly talking to coach Naggy, and we have

0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:51.400
<v Speaker 1>an idea of what we want to do, and the

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.400
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff has an idea of what we want to do.

0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:56.800
<v Speaker 1>So there'll be specific times where you implement change a

0:41:56.840 --> 0:42:00.360
<v Speaker 1>pace or change with this or different personnels. It's always

0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 1>good to have that and for us to do that

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:05.040
<v Speaker 1>effectively huge. I think it's shown it's something that we

0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:07.680
<v Speaker 1>can build on. It's shown in games where we've been

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 1>down and we've had to go no huddle, and it's

0:42:09.520 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 1>helped us get back in games that once again, theoretically

0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 1>statistically we should have lost at that point in the game,

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:17.480
<v Speaker 1>but we weren't. We didn't because our defense did a

0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 1>great job giving us the ball back, especially teams did

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 1>their job, and we were able to put points on

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.480
<v Speaker 1>board with that no huddle. But I think it's great

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to have that ability to go do that when you

0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:28.279
<v Speaker 1>need it. Tommy, what do you think of it for

0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the Bears in this particular offense. I like it if

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you can go on the field fresh and you have

0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:35.640
<v Speaker 1>an attack that can create fatigue in the opponent's defense.

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 1>I think it is a good pace, a good change

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:40.759
<v Speaker 1>of pace. However, I would always have to look and

0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:44.480
<v Speaker 1>take defense into consideration if the defense just came off

0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the field after an exhausted drive. No, I'm not going

0:42:47.800 --> 0:42:49.719
<v Speaker 1>no huddle because if you don't get a first down,

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:51.920
<v Speaker 1>then your defense is right back on the field, and

0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:54.640
<v Speaker 1>then you're putting those guys in a tough spot. If

0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:56.919
<v Speaker 1>I get the defense that has a three and out,

0:42:56.960 --> 0:43:00.080
<v Speaker 1>they're well rested. Man, I'm going on the attack, and

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm going on the attack, and I'm gonna bring it

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:04.880
<v Speaker 1>vertically at least a couple times early to try to

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:07.160
<v Speaker 1>try to see if I can get behind the defense

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:10.279
<v Speaker 1>within that no huddle attack. So I like it. I

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>like the pacing of it, and I like the fatigue

0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that creates if the defense doesn't get a chance to

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:18.520
<v Speaker 1>change personnel groupings. Did you hear Nixon tire and news

0:43:18.560 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>conference today? By chance? Not the whole thing? No, no, no,

0:43:21.840 --> 0:43:24.360
<v Speaker 1>But they're the confidence that is oozing out of this

0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 1>man's pores about his teammates, where they're going, what his

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 1>expectations are, how dangerous he wants his offense to become.

0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 1>He is that he just it's natural for him Matt

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:39.759
<v Speaker 1>Naggie talked about it. He's not trying to be flip.

0:43:40.320 --> 0:43:42.840
<v Speaker 1>He's a guy that rides on emotion and lives in

0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:46.359
<v Speaker 1>the moment. He spoke about it obviously after the game

0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:49.440
<v Speaker 1>about you want to lose pretty or win ugly, And

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:51.880
<v Speaker 1>what he meant by that was that, you know, he

0:43:52.200 --> 0:43:56.320
<v Speaker 1>cares about winning first and foremost. Right, Well, you know what, also,

0:43:56.440 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 1>if you had a chance to go back and you

0:43:58.120 --> 0:43:59.480
<v Speaker 1>had to look at you had a chance to look

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:02.759
<v Speaker 1>at the table, what things can you do specifically to

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:07.600
<v Speaker 1>make this offense better considerably? And I think there's a

0:44:07.680 --> 0:44:10.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of elements in every single play. For example, the

0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 1>first play of the game, they run a rollout pass

0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:14.919
<v Speaker 1>to Jimmy Graham and they got the receiver. Team throw

0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:17.239
<v Speaker 1>the ball to Jimmy Graham immediately and put him on

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the offensive while he's attacking the defender. So it's just

0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.799
<v Speaker 1>little things like that. It's like on the eighth play

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of the game, Cole Comet and Rashad Coward both pulled

0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:30.160
<v Speaker 1>from the left to the right hand side. They hit

0:44:30.239 --> 0:44:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the same guy. Now if they have more reps in

0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 1>time to communicate after watching the tape and they run

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that same play again, and they know exactly who their

0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:42.879
<v Speaker 1>responsibility is that place turn it into a forty yard game.

0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:47.719
<v Speaker 1>David Montgomery is not cutting it back into an unblocked tackle,

0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's for a gain of one. So when you're

0:44:50.760 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about how much better you can make this offense,

0:44:54.880 --> 0:44:57.879
<v Speaker 1>that's why Nick Foles is exciting. He sees the same

0:44:57.960 --> 0:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>thing on tape that anybody who's invested or spent a

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:06.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of time watching tape and understanding football that they

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:10.440
<v Speaker 1>are there is considerable improvement they can make just by

0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 1>getting things timed up more correctly. And obviously the old

0:45:13.800 --> 0:45:16.719
<v Speaker 1>line needs to be consit more consistent obviously, both run

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:20.880
<v Speaker 1>and pass protection. And you know, plays like to Darnell Mooney.

0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:24.759
<v Speaker 1>You talked about it at length during the broadcasts. He can,

0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>but is not his skill set where you're really looking

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to use him is he's not to go up and

0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:32.719
<v Speaker 1>get it guy. He's to go up and go after

0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 1>a guy and go you know, the Bears are the

0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:37.040
<v Speaker 1>only team in the league without a forty yard pass

0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:40.239
<v Speaker 1>play this year, you know, so that is something that

0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I could see down the road too, in timing when

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:44.480
<v Speaker 1>he gets behind a defense and he's streaking down the

0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:46.840
<v Speaker 1>sideline and folds hits him for a touchdown. You know,

0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I know you. You always kind of tease me when

0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:51.919
<v Speaker 1>I say things are repetitiously done. When you talk about

0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Darnell Mooney, if you can get him in a pattern

0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:58.120
<v Speaker 1>where he's running away from Jalen Ramsey, you're gonna have

0:45:58.120 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot better chances. Percentage is to succeed rather than

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:04.880
<v Speaker 1>throwing a fifty fifty ball up against those two, because

0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that is advantage defender. All right. I'll be interesting to

0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 1>see how they deploy that boy. Ramsey. He talked to

0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:15.200
<v Speaker 1>go back on YouTube if you want. He was chatting

0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:17.000
<v Speaker 1>up everybody. They had him miked up for the Bears

0:46:17.080 --> 0:46:19.720
<v Speaker 1>game last year. He took cracks at every Bears receiver.

0:46:19.880 --> 0:46:21.759
<v Speaker 1>It was something, all right, we gotta take one more break.

0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:24.319
<v Speaker 1>We bear it back. Some final thoughts as we get

0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you set for Bears Rams Monday Night Football. This is

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Bears All Access on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:35.080
<v Speaker 1>score Bears and Rams on Monday Night Football. A battle

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:38.239
<v Speaker 1>of top ten defenses. Tom they're allowing a nineteen points

0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:40.280
<v Speaker 1>a game, Bears one of the best as well. Khalil

0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:42.440
<v Speaker 1>mac third and NFL pass rush according to the Pro

0:46:42.520 --> 0:46:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Football Focus with a winning rate of twenty two percent.

0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Donald can wreck a pocket. He got the Bears

0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:52.799
<v Speaker 1>making leg difficult for opposing quarterbacks. I mean Jared Goff,

0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:57.440
<v Speaker 1>he has a big you know, he's got to remember

0:46:57.560 --> 0:47:00.480
<v Speaker 1>what happened in twenty eighteen. Things did not go well.

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:02.800
<v Speaker 1>They put pressure on him and thinks started to deteriorate.

0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:06.680
<v Speaker 1>But the Bears are I have low completion percentage against

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:09.560
<v Speaker 1>these guys, so you know it's gonna be interesting battle.

0:47:09.600 --> 0:47:11.880
<v Speaker 1>It's strength versus strength, and those corners are playing so

0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:16.080
<v Speaker 1>physical right now for the Bears, but strength strength. So,

0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you gotta figure out how to block Aaron Donald,

0:47:18.719 --> 0:47:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and they have to figure out how to block the

0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:23.680
<v Speaker 1>three Kings as you say, and that's Robert Quinn, Akiem Hicks,

0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and Clill Mack. To me, you know you have three

0:47:26.640 --> 0:47:29.759
<v Speaker 1>options defensively speaking for the Bears. How you could set

0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:33.200
<v Speaker 1>it up against that offensive line in the Rams. You

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 1>got one guy you got to concentrate on, and that

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:37.920
<v Speaker 1>that is Aaron Donald. Get him block and you can

0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:41.680
<v Speaker 1>have some success. Go out to Leonard Floyd. Yeah, that's

0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:43.960
<v Speaker 1>what you keep saying. We'll find out about the X

0:47:44.080 --> 0:47:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Bear he's got a couple of sacks for the Rams.

0:47:45.880 --> 0:47:48.560
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna do it for us tonight. Thanks to everybody involved,
