All right in a way we go. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.360 Good evening and welcome to Bears All Access. Jim Miller, 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.320 Tom there, We've got you for one whole hour talking 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.680 all things Bears. Training camp just around the corner when 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.640 the Chicago Bears will report to bourbon A to kick 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.960 off their twenty nineteen NFL season. Always an exciting time 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.519 of the year, a lot of expectation, a lot of pressure. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.560 That's what Matt Naggie has talked about recently and about 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.800 not getting complacent as a Chicago Bear. Plus, We're gonna 0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.560 have a great show as we roll along. I'm gonna 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.160 have some great guess is Bears six round draft picked 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.000 Duke Shelley is going to join us out on the 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.080 program at tremendous nickel corn that the Bears selected. Plus 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.639 at six thirty pm Eastern Time. Otis Wilson, former NFL 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.400 or for Chicago Bears linebacker, gonna join us. We've got 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.160 plenty to talk about the eighty five Bears because Eddie Jackson, 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.039 coming out strong, said they want to top everything the 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.160 eighty five Bears did. So we're gonna go back in 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.520 time put out the statistics what the Bears could potentially 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.399 reach here in twenty nineteen. But who better to break 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.679 it down over the next hour, none better than my partner. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.040 Let's welcome in Tom there to the program. Tom, how 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.080 are we doing today? Big Jim doing good? You know, 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.680 with the anticipation of training camp, it's it's I you know, 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.720 I don't know when the anticipation has been this positive 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.320 in a long time, because you think even last year, 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.920 we didn't know a lot about Matt Nagey, We didn't 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.560 know how the team was going to perform, We didn't 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.160 know the growth process and the fact that they were 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.680 gonna get Khalil Mack when they ended up getting him 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.320 and the whole You know, we are still anticipating a 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.840 contract situation with Roquan Smith at this time, but all 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:10.519 that's behind us, and it's raised expectations by a large percentage, 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.200 and not just by me, by all the people I 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.160 talk about in the streets and around the Chicago Land area. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.560 Because the first thing they bring up is positive expectations 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.320 of the Bears, where they believe that they can be 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.320 at the end of the season. And then they also 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.120 talk about the difficulty of the schedule they're going to face. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.079 And so when you kind of take all that into consideration, 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.960 if they do continue to improve, they're able to increase 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.160 their offensive playbook. They have a Khalil and they have 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.359 Roquan from the beginning, you get Clinton Dix and Busters 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.240 Screen and these guys to fit into the system nicely. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.880 There's no reason that they can't accomplish all the goals 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.840 that the players have been talking about and the fans 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.680 have expected at the beginning of the year till the 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.320 end of the year. And it's interesting time because the 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.160 Bears aren't going to sneak up on anybody. They're a 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.320 surprise team last year when you come off four losing seasons, 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.760 then you burst onto the team with Matt Naggy, you 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.160 go twelve and four, You go from worse to first 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.040 in the vision in the division, and take the NFC North. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.480 You know, last year, when you look at those surprise teams, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.919 probably Chicago tops the list. You gotta believe Indianapolis Colts. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.080 Look how they jump back into it, found themselves in 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.680 the playoffs as well. I think Seattle was somewhat of 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.840 a surprise team last year. Now if you think the 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.240 Washington Redskins, prior to the injury to Alex Smith, they 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.680 were winning that division tim in the NFC East, and 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.839 then Alex Smith goes down. They were five and two 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.280 and their season kind of spiraled out of control with injury. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.160 But the Bears are not going to sneak up on 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.800 anybody this year. Everybody's marking them down on the schedule. 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.320 But then you know, you'll go back and you look 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.040 at some games from last year. Danny Mack and Matt 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.000 Spiegel we are talking a little bit off the air 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.640 and on the air right before at the end of 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.360 their show, And now you think about how disappointing that 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.320 loss was to the New England Patriots because it was 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.040 a couple of special team snaffoos that really took the 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.240 opportunity to beat you know, what's considered one of the 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.320 best teams of the last decade in the NFL last 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.720 year and if you think if you would have just 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.840 added that victory to the last year's team, that would 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.279 change the thinking process and it would change the whole 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.000 profile of the Bears, because, yeah, they have a first 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.000 place schedule now, they went from worst to first. But 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.720 if you go out there and you beat one of 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.680 the best teams in the league, you know, right there, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.200 you're there's a lot of different considerations that you got 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:32.960 to put in place if you would have went out 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.760 there and beat Tom Brady Bill Belichick in your home field. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.000 How do you fight complacency? Mett Naggie was recently at 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.560 Serious Sex NFL Rady when he talked about that. Really 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.560 the quote was him that says, we can't beat complacent 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.680 as a football team, you know, and that's probably the 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.839 worst trait you can have as a football player time. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.159 I truly believe that if you're not doing the things 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.240 you need to do to stay on top of your 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.279 game and not show up with that preparation that you 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.320 need in order to compete sundays, I think that is 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.159 always something that you gotta fight. It's just it's human nature. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.320 People tend to get complacent when they find themselves having 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.040 a little bit of success. I think complacency can take 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.120 effect on a losing team and a losing atmosphere and 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.320 a losing culture because some guys they're not being competed against. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.599 I think when you look at winning, the winning attitude, 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.080 the winning culture, and you look at competition, you know 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.719 from guys within your own locker room, if complacency sets in, 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.960 that's the best way to get yourself out of the 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.560 off the team and off the roster and onto a 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.320 different team maybe or maybe not in the league at all. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.600 So I don't think there's any players out there that 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:45.000 have the luxury of being complacent because they've taken some 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.000 big steps forward to get themselves into this first place schedule, 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.719 into consideration preseason, consideration for the playoffs, and even bigger goals. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.320 So this is not the time for a complacency to 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.520 set in because you haven't you haven't take did that 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.560 much success yet. Well, even with the recent comments of 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.800 Eddie Jackson, we'll get into that about saying, hey, we 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.719 want to try and top with the eighty five Bears 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.000 did defensively, or even a Keem Hicks, what a tremendous 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.120 leader talking about the team and not regressing. I mean, 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.800 what's the vibe you get with the players in the 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.359 locker room of how they've approached this offseason. You know, 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:19.920 having a chance to talk to a lot of those 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.560 guys at the hundred years celebration and you look at 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.640 some of the influences they had from the history, the 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.760 alumni of the Bears and how and they see how 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.279 it important is to them. Listen. I like the comments 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.120 of Eddie Jackson. I like the fact that this is 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.440 a team that wants to be better than anything the 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.600 Bears have put out there before. And I like a 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.640 little bit of the pressure that a Keem Hicks felt 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.760 when he was up there with Ed o'bradovitch, with Dan Hampton, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.280 with Chris Zorge and with Tommy Harris, and how much 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.039 not pressure, but how much they wanted to see a 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.960 Keem Hicks, you know, have success. Hey, you want to 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.960 stay with us, because on the other side, rookie cornerback 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.000 Duke Shelley is going to join us here on Bears 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.479 All Access.

Eighty 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.720 five Bears consider one of the all time grades. Probably 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:55.440 even the early two thousand Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense was 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.360 given a lot of love as well. You got the 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.920 Orange Crush out there, endeavor. But the statistics are incredible 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.680 of the eighty five Bears. So some of the statistics 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.240 are sixty four sacks on the season, thirty four interception, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.920 six rushing touchdowns, and we'll get into that in just 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.960 a moment time, because I believe our guest is waiting 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.440 there for so I'm getting excited talking defense. So let's 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.320 go out and talk a little defense of the Chicago 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.440 Bears as we welcome in Duke Shelley to the program. Duke, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.000 Jim Miller, Tim thare with you. Thanks for joining us 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.800 tonight on Bears All Access. Hey, how ya doing? How 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.600 y'are doing? We're doing great? And for you, how's the 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.320 time off leading up to training camp? About the first 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.040 time you'll be able to dawn the Chicago Bears jersey 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.880 in full paths? Maybe just talk about the excitement leading 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.280 up to training camp. Man, I'm super excited to get 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.920 out there with the guys getting put on pads. I'm 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.680 excited about that. So okay, my busies and pats, I'll 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.600 be running around in shorts too long now, So get 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.600 to hit somebody at this level I'm excited for. You know, dude, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.360 guys reading an article by Ryan Pace and he's called 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.920 you scrappy, sticky, and highly highly competitive. You know that's 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.800 some pretty high plaise when you, you know, for a 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:09.400 defensive back, and especially when you look at you know, yeah, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.679 scrappy and sticky. I think you have to understand how 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.640 how complimentary that is when you look at what Ryan 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:22.679 how Ryan Pace describes your abilities. Oh yeah, I appreciate compliment. Uh. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.160 I've been hearing it a lot and be talking to 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.840 back Worth. Everybody liked how my feedes and being able 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.160 to stick with guys in the slot and on the 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.199 outside and things like that. H I mean, my it's 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.840 my job to kind of glue be glued to receiver. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.200 So the fact he called me stick yot, I appreciate it. Well, 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.760 well does it you know, because everybody will say, oh, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.880 he's an undersized slot corner. Does that bother you when 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.319 people say that? Is that why you're more scrappier and 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.480 and why you're more physical, and just how you compete 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.920 at the slot position and just how you play the 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.360 cornerback position in general, Because that's all I hear, all 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.439 he's an under size slot corner. Well, there's been a 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.280 lot of under sized corners that played pretty darn good 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.880 in the National Football League, right right. I mean I've 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.840 been hearing my whole life. I've been on the side 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.079 of my whole life, y'all. It just a big kind 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.880 of hind me have a cheap on my shoulda and 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.520 go out and compete. I mean, I've been a super 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.760 competitive growing up. I mean been playing any games since 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.040 I was five years old, so I mean I'm used 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.280 to it now. It comes with the territory. I mean, 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.520 just just give me a chip on my shoulder, something 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.679 something to go out damn food and guys, and when 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.719 you actually do it, then they look at you kind 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.120 of different, so I'd be excited for it. Duke. So 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.040 when you're playing cornerback, you obviously have a boundary and 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.560 then you have the field of play. I read something 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.760 else where I said you have an uncanny ability to 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.320 mirror the receiver's feet. Is that a trait that you'll 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.840 be able to use at the slot position because there's 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.160 a little bit more feel for the receiver to work 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.800 with then if they're sided along the sideline. Oh yeah, Definitely. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.360 Being in the slot, you have to be clear because 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.240 guys have opportunity to go both ways on you, a 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.440 lot of option routes and and things like that. So 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.199 being able to be quick and fast twitch, have a 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.360 fast twitch about you definitely uh separates you in the 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.520 slot compared to the outside have using the sideline as 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.840 your help and being able to stay inside of guys 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.560 and kind of use sideline as an extra man on 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.920 the field. So I mean playing outside corner my whole career. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.839 I see the difference in that. But for my skills, say, 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.320 this's an easy transition. Well for the listeners out there, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.480 very instinctive cover corner. You got thirty nine passes defense 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.760 and thirty eight career games, which is really impressive. And 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.640 your football character is is second to none according to 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.640 your to your college coaches. But what has probably been 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.040 the biggest transition from Case State to to what you've 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.680 been learning for the Chicago Bears, and really the biggest 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.680 difference to you so far a man, the biggest difference 0:11:55.679 --> 0:12:00.319 for me has been just coming in and seeing speed 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.760 of the game thing. You know, I just level everybody. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.480 Everybody's fast, everybody's good, everybody know how to run routes 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.719 and things like that. So I just stand out to 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.280 you just as far as the consistency as far as 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.320 play to play. But at the end of the day, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.480 it's still football and you still play the game how 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.360 you know how to play the game. So I mean 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.760 that does the things, but definitely the speed of the 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.320 game is probably the biggest difference that I see compared 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:30.400 to college living N's duke. What about the communication though, 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.600 when you go into a slot now, it seems like 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.400 if you're on a corner and you have a wide 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.400 receiver that's the widest out of the offensive formation, you 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.280 kind of don't have to communicate because you have you 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.840 understand your responsibility. So now is it the outside linebacker 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.240 to your side with the safety and maybe even the corner, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.760 So how will it your communication responsibilities change? Oh man, 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.880 that's that's the difference also as well. I mean, I'm 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.240 usually when you out there on the outside, you kind 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.520 of you kind of your own little world and called 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.319 your own little island because you're just kind of separated 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.800 from everybody else, you know, you you're kind of just 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.160 locking down. You're you're a man and your side of 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.920 the field. But in slote you have a lot of 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.600 different people that depend on a lot of different things 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.440 like that. So you might get a lineback and help. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:20.760 Sometimes you might get cornerback help. Sometimes might be squatting 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.640 on outside that come to you always have the safety 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.520 behind you. So it's just different. And how you can 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.920 play guys, and how you can line up on guys 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.040 and U. I mean it's very It's very interesting for 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.079 me because I can discuise more and play outside shade, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.360 play inside shade and things like that. So I actually 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.440 love it. I like transition. That's a great point. How 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.480 has the install gone for you with the defense under 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.960 Chuck Pagano to where you can maybe disguised knowing where 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:53.080 your your hope is so you can play fast, uh defensively. Yeah, 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.240 that's that's It's been a really smooth transition for me. Um. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.800 I mean I created my college coaches for that, um 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.880 being being having coach Hayes for the first three years 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.320 of my college career. He comes being that he came 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.600 from the NFL. He uh been being it was a 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.800 quarters team running a lot of NFL coverages in college, 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:16.640 so the concept kinda was the same. And I mean 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.120 defense is kind of easier because you can only run 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.600 certain amount of coverages. You can't really do too much 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.160 out of the box. It is what it is. You 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.800 even cover three, cover one, cover two, or man and man, 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.160 so it's not really too much that you can really 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.240 change up as far as that. So, uh, coming from 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.320 coming from college and having an NFL coach Uh, definitely 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.800 plays a role. And how how well all that would 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.200 pick out the playbooks? Not it's not hard at off 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.400 me in a various moove. Hey, duke, I don't you 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.600 know when you when you start playing as a freshman, 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.640 you know there's not a lot of time that you 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:56.120 have special team responsibilities. So throughout the OTAs and on 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.200 mini camp, where were you rapping on special teams? And 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.040 we're is your skill set fall into play on the 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.520 different teams you'll you'll be a part of this year. 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.520 I'll definitely be on all the special teams. Uh, And 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.840 I take it serious, Yeah, definitely. In college, I didn't 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.680 have to uh run down on kickoffs and run down 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.920 on punt because they needed me on the defense side. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.800 But now I'm doing both punt kickoff, kickoff return, returning 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:28.040 kicks h holding up guys on punt return, so uh, 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.120 it all works out. Special teams transition is very good 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.280 to me. And I know, I mean, this is how 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.200 you stay around in this league, being that it's so 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.840 competitive and things like that. So I go out and 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:44.440 play special teams like his defense. Well, from your standpoint, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.080 who have you hitch your wagon to? What what veteran 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.200 do do you find yourself maybe gravitating to just their 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.640 style of play? Um, just how they prepare even going 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.120 out to practice. Is that Prince of Mukamara is a 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.800 Buster screen? Is it? Eddie Jackson? Who if you can't 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.040 have really tried to emmy watching how they prepare themselves. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.400 Really all the guys being you had two pro bowlers, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:12.160 uh in the banking with with Eddie Jackson and and 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.720 stuff like that. I look at all the guys mennerism, 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.640 see how they how they approach the game. I know this, 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.480 uh coown Fuller. He more of a a quiet focused guy. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.960 He keep getting to his owns on before practice and 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.480 things like that, and he kind of locked in. Eddie 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.360 on the other hand, he can be focused in the 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.920 same way, but he still talking to guys and things 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.400 like that. That's kind of more my personality. So I 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.760 watched those guys and try to go out of MLA. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:38.480 Then Buster has been helping me. He's been doing a 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:43.320 great job helping me learning different things and do different 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.160 techniques and things like that. But I mean, I watch 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.760 all the the guys. Prince he had his own little 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.920 way and getting ready because he they might take them 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.640 a little longer so I mean in all words out 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.440 but I definitely say attention to all of the guys, 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.280 any anybody who's in front of Lead, and I can 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.360 learn from him. I try to find my best to 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.679 just do that and stay stay focused and try to 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.800 emulate their game and that fire demand and it made 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.159 Litt leave so hopefully and he had me when lead. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.760 So just learn as much as I can, I Duke, 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.520 just to get to know you a little better, and 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.440 forgive me if I say it wrong. Is it Yaquis 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.440 Bertrand and why so? Why are you Duke? And because 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.480 I actually I love your first name and I think 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.879 of prince. I think of haha, Clinton Dix, and I 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.879 love your first name. But but how how did this 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.639 go to duke? So I'm a junior and duke means prince. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.040 So when uh, when I was a little boy and 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.600 my grandma just started calling me dude, they said it 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.000 and it just stuck with me every since. My first 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.800 name is Yaquis and I'm a junior and it means 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.520 strong leader. But my dad, I mean he wrote with 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.000 that name. But Duke is just kind of a ways 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.600 to me just separate myself, like getting myself my own 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.879 by Well, Duke, last one, what do you do with 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.320 you a little bit of time off or are you 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.600 cranking it up in terms of your workouts leading up 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.920 to training camp. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just trying to get 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.240 in the best shape as I can. Definitely been working 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.040 out in training every day, have a great training bout 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.359 here at home with Ernest Ross, doing a lot of 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.760 speed training things like that, and trying to be in 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.919 the best shape I can't go into training cap and 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.160 feeling the best, feeling the best I have going into 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.439 training cap. So that's that's all I've been doing, Just 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.800 trying to get ready to camp in the season, knowing 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:36.560 this a long season. I mean preseason games to the 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:41.320 regular season to playoffs. You'll pay playoff twenty gangs this year, 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.840 so you just have to be ready for it and 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.720 coach coach will call me, tell me go on playbooks 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.800 and things like that. So I've been doing that and 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.719 just noticed a marathon right now, it's not a sprint. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.720 So just trying to be in the best shape I 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.479 can for the season. Well, Duke, good luck to you. 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.840 We'll see it down in Bourbon at for your first 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.679 NFL training camp. But we appreciate you joining us on 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.199 the show. Oh man, thank you appreciate it. Duke Shelley, 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.320 everybody's six round draft pick of the Chicago Bears out 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.399 of Kansas State. We're gonna come back talk more defense, recap. 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.960 What Duke Shelley had to say, like the depth of 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.000 the Chicago Bears secondary heading into twenty nineteen. We'll get 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.920 to it on the other side. Keep it right here 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.480 on Bears All Access. Welcome back to Bears All Access. 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.280 Good to talk to Duke Shelley, Bears six round draft 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.560 pick five nine, about one hundred and eighty pounds out 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.800 of Kansas State. He mentioned during the interview that he 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.720 was still finally the healthiest he's Benny did miss five 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.800 games in twenty eighteen with a lower right leg injury, 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.440 and Tom he is he's a highly competitive young man 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.240 for an undersized corner You mentioned how the coach called 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.159 him sticky. You know, he's just kind of a pest 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.320 is what he is, because he's always in the hip 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.520 pocket of the wide receiver. And as it relates to 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.399 the depth of the Chicago Bears secondary, I like the 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.919 depth at that cornerback spot for Chicago had into twenty nineteen. 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.439 You go out and sign buster screen is what the 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.399 Bears did. He comes over from the Jets. He has 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.080 not missed a lot of games, whether in Cleveland or 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.800 with the New York Jets. He's always been available to 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.399 play some football. We know Sherick McManus has had the 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.840 ability to fill in at the nickel cornerback spot. Now 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.360 Duke Shelley kind of being groom for that spot as well. 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.399 So a lot of depth. You know that normally is 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.199 somewhat you're based defense a lot of times because so 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.320 much eleven personnel, one running back, one tight end, three 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.640 wide receivers on the field so much for the listeners 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.320
