Okay? Well? 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.200 Here from Vic Fangio. Later out of the program, let's 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.560 talk things over about yesterday and look ahead because there's 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.760 gonna be so much focus this week. You got your 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.400 hands full quieting all the masses about this game, aren't 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.600 you a little bit? Yeah? But that's okay. You know, 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.040 our guys talking about yesterday. Um, you know, that was 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.320 a tough one for us, but I appreciate the guys 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.280 battle until the end and and sometimes you have those 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.000 type of games. So we lost the turnover battle and 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.760 we're a little inconsistent throughout the game, but overall, our 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.720 guys will learn from it, will grow from it, get 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.560 better from and you're ready for this week. What are 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.479 your points of emphasis from that game to you guys 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.280 when you get them together tomorrow. Well, ball security number 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.039 one is you you got to protect the football and 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.280 when it's wet out, you really got to focus in 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.360 on that. Uh. And then just um, I think just 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.840 being a little bit more consistent in our play throughout 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.440 from start to finish. You know, um, starting a game 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.000 there the second play with a pick six isn't isn't 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.840 how you want to start it. But then you know, 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.080 with that happening, I thought the guys kept their composure throughout, 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.160 and Higur figured out a way in the end to 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.240 battle till the very end and give us a chance 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.960 to win. Because there was all sorts of things that 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.040 happened right away, whether it be the kickoff muff to 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.000 the interception you said, there, all sorts of things just 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.360 not settling in. Was your job different yesterday? Out of 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.360 all the games you had this season? How were you 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:12.560 working the sidelines and working the working the fellas. Yeah, it, 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.200 uh it was a little different, um, but nothing too crazy, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.720 you know. Uh, Like I said, the biggest thing is 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.400 once there is that turnover early in a pick six, Um, 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:23.840 the nice thing is that you know, you have the 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.720 whole rest of the game to to regroup and it's 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.840 only you know, it's seven nothing. And that's what I 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.120 like about our guys is you know, we we uh 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.200 we we had a couple three and outs offensively. Defensively 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.000 in the first half, the guys were playing really well, 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.520 forcing a lot of punts and uh, you know, had 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.880 good field position and so that that part was good, Um. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.839 And then we got into the second half, and that's 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.840 where I thought, you know, we started out giving up 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.680 a touchdown there that first drive, and then they got 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.200 a touchdown on the next drive, and there just wasn't 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.040 much rhythm on offense, and but we we did enough 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.440 in the end, had a good day on special teams, 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.520 and uh, you know, came down to that fourth down 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.840 and every time everything had to go exactly right for 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.480 that even to be a possibility. Uh, it does give 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.960 you another teaching point to your guys though, that anything 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.120 is possible. I think you even touched on that a 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.639 little bit. Uh, but you know, onside kicks, I think 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.160 that's only the seventh all year in the league recovered. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.120 So your odds were against you. Sure, you know, no, 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:22.799 it was and and yeah, I think it's below thirty 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.920 percent chance of getting that, but that's why you do it. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.239 That's why you have it. And and uh, our guys executed. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.680 It's a perfection. And when that happens. Now, now you 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.120 get the ball, you got a chance to go down 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.680 to score, you know, I know we were talking about 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.440 it because it's it's that temptation. You're right by the 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.280 end zone you go for the field goal instead, so 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.160 you you know it is at a temptation. Yeah, Well 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.160 when it's a temptation is when you're that close. Yeah. Uh. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.240 And because you're you're right there, and you know, really 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.320 the right the right move is to kick to field goal. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.240 You have to get points because if you don't score, 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.560 it's game over. So we went ahead and got two 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.560 points and we felt like with the amount of time 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.320 that was left on the clock, we could go ahead 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.280 and still kick to field goal, get too points and 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.320 then just try for that onside kick. We got it, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.920 and then you could see right there that we uh, 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.920 you know, guys caught the ball. They got out of bounds. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.400 I was a big throw and catchy by Chase and 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.320 to wreak there down the sideline and then ultimately got 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.240 a pass interference and then had the touchdown. Play. The 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.000 clock was working in your favor. It was plenty of time. Yeah, 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.680 it was, and the guys did the credit to the 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.680 guys on offense for executing that. It's not easy and 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.200 there's a lot of things that can happen, a lot 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.640 of things that go on, and I thought they did 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.920 a great job with that. How do you maintain your 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.600 calm as play caller in those moments. Well, that's what 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.840 you have to do, is you have to remind yourself 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.800 to just stay calm. There's a lot of things that 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.760 are going on outside of you. You can hear all 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.680 the noise, you can hear the excitement, you can feel 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.680 the excitement, but I have to stay composed and make sure. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.279 And that's why if you do it the right way. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.760 You try to prepare days ahead of time, or than 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.320 night before, you play those type of situations, what if, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.320 what if if, and so that when you do, when 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.760 you are presented with an opportunity to make a call, 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.599 you can at least get close or try to get 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.800 close to those situations. Now, don't jump on me, but 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.719 you literally go through all those very specific scenarios, play 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.760 call for every single possible sing no, no, not every 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.800 single one, but a lot of them are are more 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.600 you know, fourth down and then with a particular distance. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.520 That's where you get into your when you know you 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.359 don't have another call, it's either fourth down or nothing. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.760 So you try to play those out and then you 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.320 got to play it out too where you're out in 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.280 the field. So that's where I'm saying. If you have 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.279 if you're at the it's fourth and goal from the 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.599 fifteen yard line, that's hard. That's one of the hardest 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.880 play calls in football. If it's fourth and goal from 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.239 the two yard line, that's a little easier because you're closer. 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.240 If it's a two point play. Is what has happened 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.760 throughout the game? Have you shown you know it's easy 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.240 to sit there and say, well, you got the whole 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.240 play call sheet to call this play, but now you're 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.200 at the end of the game. You've already run that play, 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.960 So what's the next one? Right, what's what's what's play 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.240 B and play C? And so that's where you start 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.760 playing around with some of the choices. How often, and 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.240 maybe you don't want to talk about it, but how 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.120 many if a play is working, you trusted to keep 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:13.719 on working? And how many times do you call the 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.480 same play over and over? Yeah? No, there's there's some 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.360 coaches that that won't repeat a play um or maybe 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.480 they'll change a personnel or slightly change the formation. Uh 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.240 and and so for me, I think it's more of 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.040 an opinion on where you're coming from who's running the play. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.280 I'm okay with repeating plays. I probably don't do it 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.560 as much as some but uh but I certainly think 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.040 that in the game, if you feel like you're you're 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.440 feeling good, we repeat we repeated plays yesterday, uh and something, 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.640 And if they're working, then why not keep testing it? Right? 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.920 I think it's your fiduciary responsibility and that that's what 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:49.200 we do sometimes must get give you some respect for 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.600 those came before you in league history, because you know, 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.039 you think of the great teams and they knew it 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.359 was coming, and they still couldn't stop it, repeating over 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.520 and over and over again. I think of, uh, you 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.440 know plays the Bears of running their history, or the 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.359 Lombardi sweep. You know, you know it was coming, but 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.919 sure he gets stabbing. Sure, yeah, No. It's sometimes we 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.200 as coaches cannot think ourselves and we think it's about 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.080 the plays and not the players. And uh and and 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.360 so when you repeat plays and you see it really 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.760 is about the players. The last play, if Chase had 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.680 time to set his feet and throw into it, did 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.920 you feel Taylor it beat his man? Could that have 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.080 been a touchdown? Well, looking at it again, well it 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.040 could have been. But again that's that's a credit to 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.440 their defensive coordinator, James Betcher. He called a cover zero 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:34.960 look where they were going to bring the one more 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.840 than what we had. I thought Chase did a good 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.560 job of stepping aside and at least giving us an 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.120 opportunity to make a play or get a pass interference. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.200 And the dB made a good play and um, you 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.000 know we we we had an opportunity. It didn't work 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.200 out for us, But in that situation, I thought that 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.000 I thought the guys on offense did a good job 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.840 at least giving us a chance. The Bears Coaches Show 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.200 with head coach Matt Maggie and w bbm's Jeff Joni 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.600 at continue and in the backfield a Keem Hicks. He 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.400 takes the hand off. He he is in for a touchdown. 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:11.680 Touchdown Bear rictor revisited. Keem Hicks punctures the goal line. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.720 Look at how the Bears have delayed. Keeves got that 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.160 baby rocking under his right arm. He not giving that 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.920 bad boy up ever, that's true. No, Spike know nothing, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.360 but boys have fun. Back in the Coaches Show at 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.320 Bears head Coach Mattneggie and the Chicago Bears Network presents 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.880 Inside the Bears, brought to you by Verizon, Anthony Adams 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.840 and Lauren Screeten cover the world of Bears football, on 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.559 and off the field every Sunday dit the eleven o 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.600 five on Fox thirty two Chicago, or watch anytime at 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.560 Chicago Bears dot Com or on the Bears Official app. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.320 I happen to be walking to the bus from the 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.319 booth as he was walking out of the locker room 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.120 to the bus. So we had a little conversation and 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.920 you know, even in defeat, he had a big grint 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.640 on his face. I mean that was that was something. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:58.479 And at one point of the broadcast, in another situation, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.080 you know, right near the going give it to him again? 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.560 Why not it works? Yeah, you know, yeah, no, it was. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.680 We've had some fun with that in the last couple 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.600 of weeks and uh, in that in that situation, I 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.680 thought it was a great, great opportunity for us to 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.560 uh to punch it in with him. And I went 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.480 back and watched it uh this morning and just we 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.120 got to work on his ball hand a little bit. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:21.599 He kind of reached for that ball. We got to 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.719 be carefuls right, he accepted, he took it. He took it, 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.120 and he's a tough man to tackle, so I was. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:29.960 I was happy for him, happy for the guys. There 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.400 was much need to touchdown at that time, and we 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.760 had a little fun with it. Yeah. And let's be clear, 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.320 I mean, you're not doing this just for you know, 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.439 for kicks. This is this is serious football there there. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.839 You're utilizing assets on your roster. Right Robertson Harris is 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.040 on the field at the same time, big body to block, 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.680 and it gives you other options moving forward to use 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.600 different personnel and use the same personnel but in a 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.640 different way. I mean that that's the whole point of this, 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.959 without a doubt. And you know, that was a big 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.000 play that we needed at that time. That wasn't something 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.599 where we were winning by fourteen or twenty points, and 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.200 and uh, just to have some fun. That was a 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.520 much needed play. And that's what when we went to 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.360 and and again we we've practiced that and uh, you 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.920 know a team has done a great job at you know, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.719 going in there and being ready too, because a lot 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.760 of times guys aren't ready. So we made sure that 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.080 he was ready for that opportunity, that situation, and he 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.160 did it and we executed it. What would make them 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.640 not ready just coming off the field and get yeah, 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.280 or being coached up for something else. Yeah, they could 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.240 be watching They could be watching the you know, looking 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.600 at the video or the cutups or not the cutups, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.839 but the pictures of the previous series, depending on how 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.360 fast it is. And and so our coaches did a 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.079 good job on the sideline and getting them ready to 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.000 come on down there. And I turned around and he 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.720 was ready to go in. Now do these guys have 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.559 to attend a little bit of the offensive meeting when 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.560 they're involved. That's some of the best times of the week. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.679 To tell you, the truth is, Uh, they get a 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.240 little knock knock knock every morning if if it's a 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.640 if it's a play that they're in. And then I 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.120 walk into the defensive team team room and they all 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.800 turn their heads to look at me, and then I 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.960 go ahead and give them numbers a number call and 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.079 if their numbers called, they come on into the offense 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.400 and then they get an applaud in the offensive meeting room. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.480 And and then you know, depending on the play, they'll 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.160 either get shushed out of here and by the offensive 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.920 guys and they'll tell them to leave, or they'll they'll 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.800 cheer him and say, all right, let's go. So depending 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.280 on the play, but they have the guys have fun 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.360 with it, and um we as coaches have fun, and uh, 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.960 you know, you want it to be productive. Safe to say, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.280 we'll probably see that guy in there. Yeah maybe, yeah, 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.960 maybe that's for sure. Six tackles and sack, tackle for loss, 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.640 two quarterback hits and a pass breakup in addition the 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.880 day for a team hicks. I mean, we could we 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.920 could talk about guys all we want, But that guy's 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.840 playing at a very high Pro Bowl level. He really is, 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.760 and and we appreciate that. And uh, he's such a 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:51.079 such a big guy, very athletic for how big he is. Um, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.840 he's really growing as a player. I think he's becoming 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.000 really well rounded in regards to the different styles will play. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:02.560 Whether it's stopping the run, batting down passes, sacking the quarterback, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.360 making tackles for losses in the backfield, chasing down screens. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.480 He can do it all. And that's a big, huge, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.839 huge part of our defense. And I think you could 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.920 see that especially the first three plays of that goal 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.640 line stand until they had that fourth down touchdown. Those 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.280 first three plays, not just that team, but that whole 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.840 that whole defensive lineman, they were penetrating getting to the 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.920 other side, and they made it. They made it really difficult. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.400 And again I'll keep going back to it, this is 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.520 a team that just they don't just get so many 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.280 other teams will just give an easy rushing touchdown in 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.320 that situation from the one yard line, and we don't 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.560 do that. The same thing happened in Miami against the Dolphins. Now, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.040 both games we ended up losing, but you pull those 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.760 instances and you use that to teach it for us 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.760 down the road. Here Hicks in terms of say Quon 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.959 Barkley said, man, that kid is legit. That was his quote. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.800 He says, you feel him when you tackle him or 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.680 you attempt to tackle him. And that's coming from a 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.960 guy who's a monster at three thirty six in there. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.760 So you had the year on the field level watching 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.080 him run and he even says every time he touches 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.240 the ball, uh, I feel I can score. And he 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.600 runs that hard he does, and it's uh, he's got 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.280 a ways to go before this comparison hits, but he 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.880 resembles the way he runs style wise and speedwise. Is 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:23.680 a bo Jackson. And he's just such a thicker body, 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.160 thicker legs. He's got tree trunks for legs, I mean, 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.880 but they're so strong and powerful. You can see him jump, 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.240 you know, when he jumps into you know, in the air. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.800 Uh he can beat you with speed. He you know, 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.080 he can beat you with different moves. And that's why 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.280 he was chosen so high this year in a draft. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.160 And he's a very quality type person human being and 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.720 uh um that they you know, he's a he's a 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.960 heck of a player. Some of these guys, you can 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.920 only bottle up for so long, and you guys did. 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.040 Overall they had nothing going, really yeah, really nothing going 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.480 until he had that run right before. Yeah. And that's 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.800 that's what he can do. And that's what That's what 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.120 good running backs do, is uh and and good rushing 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.600 teams as they can go ahead and every now and then, 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.320 um pop one and and so that's what that's what 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.680 he did. And this isn't the first time he's done that. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.320 Now he's he's he's been doing that all season long. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.480 And we knew that. And like you said, I think 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.960 our defense did a really good job. There was one 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.320 or two plays I think did Dave want back? And 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.560 we gotta learn from it. No more of the Bears 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.920 Coaches Show with head coach Matt Maggie on news Radio 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.000 seven eighty and one out five point nine FM w BBM, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:36.160 shot Gun staff and up to to Cohen prow to 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.280 the n Show. But he's caught with a touchdown did 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.880 he better? From Terry Cod and Matt Naggie pulls another 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.160 trick out of his bag and an extra point away 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.000 from tying at his time expires. Yeah, we were get 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.640 a little excited. Yeah, we get a little excited this. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.120 Uh is weird hearing it that way? Yeah, yeah, yeah, wow. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.800 Break down the play. Well, it was a Again, we've 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.520 had some plays now we call him an incubator that 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.800 we practice and they just kind of grow and and uh, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.840 and we feel like when we have a good opportunity 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.000 to call him or run him, we will. And again, 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.960 credit to the players for executing it. And they they 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:20.160 covered the number one option, which was Chase, and those 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.840 guys made a play. I mean, twenty nine Colvin made 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.200 a great throw. Seventeen Anthony got a cross there and 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.920 got open and then he made it. I mean, the 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.080 heck of a throw in that situation. Even Colin, right 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.280 after the game, we interviewed him on the field. If 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.440 his options are taken away, he goes, well, I got 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:42.080 I got a lot of thinking to do. What happens? Yeah, no, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:43.680 there's a lot of things that can happen when he 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.240 has the ball, and he has a lot of thinking 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.200 that goes on. But it's good thinking. So uh, those 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.560 guys ad lib and you want the ball in your 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.720 playmaker's hands. And I think you saw that there in 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.160 the fourth quarter. Twenty nine. Tarik was having a great 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.800 fourth quarter, making a lot of plays and he was 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.920 almost he was in his own and that throw that 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.720 he made to Anthony Miller was a was a great throw. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.360 That's not an easy throw and in that situation on 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.720 the run, the way he did that was really good. Yeah, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.240 I mean it was right yeah, where anyone else could 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:15.560 get it. So, I don't know if you're aware of this, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.160 but he and Jerry Rice, is that right? Are the 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.920 only two players to catch at least twelve for one 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.040 hundred and fifty yards and throw a touchdown? Wow? Yeah, 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.480 h yep, that's great. Five seven, that's it. Yeah, it 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:33.880 doesn't surprise me though. Um, a lot of different action, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.720 you know with the with laterals and reverses and whatnot. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.720 When is there a maximum time a lateral pass can 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.360 actually work to success and get to a receiver? Do 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.720 you do you run out of time? Ever, it depends 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.760 on the type of you know, reverse or lateral, um, toss, bat, 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.840 whatever you call it. I think everyone's a little bit different, 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.600 and it depends where you're doing it at Uh. There's 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.920 some some that are execute where there's a double reverse 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:03.920 and it happens so quick that guys don't know where 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.120 the ball's at. There's others, you know, the flea flickers, 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.680 you hand it off, he tosses it back, and then 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.640 you see the one that the Giants ran against us. 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.000 So they're all a little bit different in terms of 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.600 the snap. And Cody in the preseason changed at you 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.199 guys coaching technique and as an extra quarterback, did you 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.359 ever take snaps like he does now? And what is 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.920 that like? Is there any difference and hand adjustment for 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.360 quarterbacks or anything different. No, there's nothing different. It's it's 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.320 the same coming back. There's really no difference there. Um, 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.439 I think yesterday, uh, you know when in a normal, 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.600 completely dry situation, those don't happen. And unfortunately it was 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.679 a little wet out there and just the way they were, 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:49.280 you know, coming back and just with the ball, security 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.440 just wasn't there. And some of these guys did practice 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.480 it though, oh yeah during the week, which is good. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.480 He's like sticking in a bucket or what do you do? 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.640 Well you can and there there was the one day 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.960 where it was raining, so you just go ahead and 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.080 practice outside in the rain and get used to that. 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.800 All right. Looking at this game coming up, obviously the 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.879 top team in the NFC. You guys are on the 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.959 top for the NFC yourself, So there's a headline matchup. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.200 It's why they moved it. So let's break it down 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.000 a little bit. Um, I don't know what you're gonna 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.480 tell your fellas. Probably save that for them as you 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.400 start the week. I mean, last week it was focused. Um, 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.960 I would imagine this week is don't let it get 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.159 too big. I mean, because there's gonna be a lot 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.080 of national media coming and really for the first time 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.639 where it's gonna be major attention. Sure, and it's may 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.640 be the rest of the season this way. Sure. Yeah, 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.000 and that's that's that's a good thing. We like that. Uh. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.520 I think we understand how to handle We'll understand. We've 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.560 been through now a couple national televised games, which is 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.879 good for us, But you don't want to make this 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.400 There's there's that balance of trying to say, Okay, listen, 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.720 we know it's an important game. It's gonna be on 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.200 on primetime Sunday night and there, but that's fun. That's 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.400 that's what you want. Um. Now, how do you corral 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.640 that and how do you make sure that you don't 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.119
