1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,279 Speaker 1: Um Khalil Mack. He doesn't just get to the quarterback, 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: he strips the ball when he gets there. I want 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: to get your perspective on what makes him such a 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: disruptive force defensively, Kase. He's big, strong and fast, UM, 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: got a lot of power, does a good job of 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: power Russian and um. But he's fast enough to get 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: the edge and a good ball awareness so does a 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: good job of tackling the quarterback when its tackle him. 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: But he's got a chance to get the ball out. 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: He's got good ball awareness and I can strip it out. 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: When you play a player like that or depend against 12 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: a player like that, it's all security. That much more 13 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: of an emphasis. I know you empathize it every single week, 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: but yeah, kind of yes, drive home that point. Yes, 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: he's he's good at it, and the quarterbacks have to 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: be even more aware of it than they normally are, 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: which is a lot. That's Yeah, he comes around in 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: that corner and that's you know, kind of the quarterbacks 19 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: close to the ball and he can get his hand 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: in there and just you know, swatted out. So you're welcome. 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: Next question is going to be Ben Vallan, followed by 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: Phil Perry, go ahead, then, good morning, Bill, and apologies 23 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: there's some background voice here. Um, I want to ask 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: you about the Bears offense. Obviously, Matt Nagy comes from 25 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs with talk as the coordinator. As you prepare 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: for the Brick Bears, as we get there are a 27 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: lot of crossover from how you prepared for the Chiefs 28 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: that there are there similarities in the offensive. Yeah, definitely, 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: for sure, Um, it's different, but there there's certainly some 30 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: carryover and of course one of the big differences is 31 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: the personnel and but there Yeah, there there's certainly a 32 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: lot of um carry over from Kansas City's basic stuff. 33 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: What what what kind of challenges is that style of 34 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: offense present for a defensive channel of the sea. Uh? 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: In terms of what uh it seems like it's a 36 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: lot of shifting in motion and uh see the Andy 37 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: reached style of offense for the West Coast style. But 38 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: seem just curious generally speaking, what are some of the 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: challenges depending Well, I mean they have a lot of 40 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: good players, they have good skill players, good receivers, a 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: big offensive line, good tight end, athletic quarterback, good backs. 42 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: So I mean there's some movement, some motion and shifting 43 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: or say it's an extraordinary amount. But they they get 44 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: the ball to a lot of different people, UM, and 45 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: they're all pretty effective when they get it so on 46 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: that that'll be a big challenge. They throw the ball 47 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: down the field. I have a lot of catching run 48 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: plays and and have a good have a good running game. 49 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: And last one, I realized there are a few players 50 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: like Tyreek Hill, but his Tarik Cohen similar to him 51 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: at all of his skill set and the type of challenges. 52 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: He said. I'll say Cohen's more of a back and 53 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: and Hill's more of a receiver. Yes, I mean they're 54 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: both dangerous, and they're both you know, returners, and so 55 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: they're they're both dangerous. But Cohen lines up more in 56 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: the backfield or out of the backfield. He's kind of 57 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: out of the backfield as a back more than he's 58 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: a receiver. Sure right, Thank you, you're welcome, Phil Perry, 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: you're next. Thanks Mark. Bill wanted to ask you about 60 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: your offense. Is production in the play action passing game, UM, 61 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: it seems like that's improved maybe over the course of 62 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the last a couple of weeks, and wanted to asking 63 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: particular for about UM your offensive Lineman on those types 64 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: of plays and how critical they are in terms of 65 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: selling the run. It looked like especially on grunt piece 66 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: first long catch Sunday Night, Trent Brown, you know, really 67 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: kind of made most of that that one yard beyond 68 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to try to sell that play. Well, Phil, 69 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: I think, as you know, when the running game um 70 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: is effective, that that helps the flash and passes a lot. 71 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: So probably nothing's after our passing game more in the 72 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: running game and vice versa. So say that's that's really 73 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: a big big key for us um thrown the ball 74 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: some different players and certainly making the plays look the 75 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: same as tougher on the defense. But if you're running 76 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: the ball effectively, that that brings a lot more people 77 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: to that run action than if you're not running effectively. 78 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: So and next up will be Rich Garvin, followed by 79 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: Evan Lazar bill Head. Rich Bill, I was just curiously, 80 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: you've seen some un characteristic the lea some big returns 81 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: against you guys this year, and I'm wondering kick steam. 82 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm wondering from the kickoff standpoint is that I'm still 83 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: adjusting to the new rules, and also is it just 84 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: as simple as maybe one guy, um, you know, missing 85 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: a single block, and it's kind of kind of the 86 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: whole thing un rabbles off of that. So I'm sorry 87 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: you broke up a little bit there. We're talking about 88 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: kickoff coverage or kickoff returns. Well, you've had a number 89 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: of kickoff coverage, You've had a number of both punting 90 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: and kick returns against you guys uncharacteristically, and just from 91 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: a kickoff standpoint, if the new rules have impacted you 92 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: coverage wise, and and also you know with with maybe 93 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: a guy, you know, a lot of those guys are 94 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: singled up, and if one guy misses a block, does 95 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: it all kind of unraveled from there. So it's just 96 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: this can just be one guy making a mistake and 97 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: it makes eleven guys look out of place. Well, the 98 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: you know, the coverage um part of that would says, 99 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: we just we just got to do a better job. 100 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: It's a multiple number of things. So a coach better, 101 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: we've got to kick better, we've got to cover better, 102 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: to tackle better. Just not doing a good job period. 103 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: And you know in the return game, I mean, we 104 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: just haven't haven't had a kind of production that we'd 105 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: like to have there either it's been some but I 106 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: think we're leaving yards out there. So it's kind of 107 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: the same thing. Start with the coaching, the playing, execution 108 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: stall it needs to be better. So when when you 109 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: have a system in place like Adaman, Joe's back and 110 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: a number of those core guys are back, um, I 111 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: think it would surprise a lot of people that there's 112 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: needs to be improvement made in coaching and and uh 113 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: and and accepting that the coaching. But is it I 114 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: don't know. Is it just like everything else, just a 115 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: new year means starting over or there's no carry over 116 00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: from last year With those guys, I would say there's 117 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: no carry over, but I'd say it's a new year, 118 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: and it's you know, I mean, I mean, who really 119 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: cares about last year or two years ago or five 120 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: years ago or twenty years ago. I just say, because 121 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: you think there's a core system in place, I mean, 122 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think six or seven of those 123 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: guys were on that that coverage unit last year, minimum 124 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: of six or seven and obviously you guys are one 125 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: of the top five teams in the league in that area. 126 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: I think it's just it's surprising to not see some 127 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: carry over on centers and some carry over vote. We're 128 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: playing new teams, we're playing different there's different matchups. I mean, look, 129 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: every kick in this league is different. They're not all 130 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: the same. So match up different kicks with different returns. 131 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean we have a basic setup basically 132 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: would two things. We're just we're obviously not getting done 133 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: well enough. So you do a better job of coaching 134 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: it and a better job of executing them. Great, thank you. 135 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: Next up is Evan Wizarre, followed by Doug Kayan. Hey, Bill, 136 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a question on the similar line. 137 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: The new kickoff rules don't allow you to get ahead 138 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: start when you're you know, covering a kickoff. Has that 139 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: made an impact on you know, maybe not being able 140 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: to get down there as quickly as you would in 141 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: the past. Yeah, I think it's definitely slow that down 142 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't know they just stuff or 143 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: so forty yards later, thirty yards later. But you know, 144 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: they've been rules on both sides, the return team, the 145 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: kicking team, where they align, where the kicking team align 146 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: and so forth. So it is what it is. Everybody's 147 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: playing with the same set of rules. So this we 148 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: just need to do a better job better. The situation 149 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: is thanks, You're welcome. Next up is Doug Kite, and 150 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: I'll remind anyone else for a star five. We don't 151 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: have any other hand raise after Doug. But Doug, go 152 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: ahead with your question. Though, Josh Gordon's pretty dramatic increasing 153 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: snaps this week? What do you do? Last week? It 154 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: allowed him to take on such a bigger role. I 155 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: think each week his roles increased UM in practice and 156 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: in the as far as the number of different things 157 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: that UM. He feels comfortable and we we feel comfortable 158 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: with him doing so. I think it'll continue to go 159 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: that way. That may not necessarily correlate exactly a number 160 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: of snaps. I mean, we don't sit there and count 161 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: snaps during the game, but I would just say that 162 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: his role is expanding weekly and we'll just see how 163 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: it all plays out. Have you been happy so far 164 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: with I guess him and Tom being on the same 165 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: page for the most part. I think our passing game 166 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: is improving. I don't think it's where it needs to 167 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: be or is where we want it to be yet, 168 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: but it's improving. Hopefully it'll continue to improve. Thanks sure, 169 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Awesome
