You know, 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.320 it was a great day yesterday, Lots of fun, lots 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.280 of excitement, and there was need to see that, need 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.240 to be a part of that. Everybody, the whole city, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.200 the fans, the coaches, the players, just everybody included. And 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.360 it was a special day whilas remember and but as 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.039 you know, how this thing goes. Um, it's time to 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.240 move on and get ready for San fran Yes, that's 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.440 next time. The agenda out west in the Bay Area. 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.039 You know, I used to cover the Bulls during the 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.319 Jordan era and Michael when he was at his peak 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.959 and going to championships every year, he always seemed to 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.039 love the new guys that came in to experience the 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.000 championship ride, and he took great pride in seeing that, 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.119 seeing that excitement. You know, you've been in that room 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.360 when you have one division titles in Philadelphia and in 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.520 Kansas City. So when you see what you saw yesterday, 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.480 I mean, guys would have been on this roster and 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.280 in twenty fourteen they were nineteen and forty five entering 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.920 the season, so they never experienced anything like this. Um. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.640 Is that a part of the joy of this, without 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.799 a doubt, and for all of us included, I think 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.320 that's what we as coaches have to focus in on 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.760 is the fact that these guys, um some of them 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.640 have been on teams where they've been good players, but 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.520 they just haven't haven't won for whatever reason. And and 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.200 we also told them too that the opportunity that was 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.799 presented to us going into yesterday's game, you never know 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.720 if you're ever going to get that shot again. I mean, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.200 I just look at a guy, for example, like Tony Gonzalez. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.840 You know, he played however many years it was in 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.639 the NFL, and it wasn't until the very end, I 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.640 want to say, sixteen to eighteen years that he played 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.200 and never made the playoffs. And so just one of 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.200 the guys to understand, are in a great situation to 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.840 make the playoffs with a win, but don't put too 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.960 much pressure on yourselves and just go out and play 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.080 your game. And that's what we did. And now once 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.480 we won the game and knew that we were gonna 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.800 we clinched a spot. Now enjoy it and understand that 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.280 it's okay to do that, and that's what we're going 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:05.880 to do. But I also told them that when you 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.240 get back in here into the building on Tuesday, that 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.639 there's more to this and so that we, like I said, 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.839 last night. You know, we can be happy, but we're 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.720 not satisfied yet and we need to be able to 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.760 to put that in perspective. And I think that's a 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.280 big part of this. What's the buzz on the coaching staff, Well, 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.400 it's again yesterday enjoying it, but today it's just it's 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.440 usual business. Everyone's right back to it. Uh it's it's uh. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.120 I like that because we need to win. We need 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:35.560 to continue winning and uh no, there's no complacency. And 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.680 that's going to be the biggest message to the team, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.520 to the players and to all coaches is that, uh, 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.840 we need we need more, and we need to understand that. 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.440 We got to keep continuing to practice the way we've 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.320 been practicing. Nothing's We accomplished one goal, but that's not 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.520 the biggest goal and everybody knows what that is and 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.720 there's more work to be done. This team is selfless, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.040 very easily because you you've mentioned and many many times, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.400 just strictly looking at the offense, it doesn't float through 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.280 one guy. So you know, I bring I brought this 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.160 up before, guy like Alan Robinson who had one hundred 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.320 and fifty one targets in back to back years before 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.560 his injury in twenty seventeen, and he was the man. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.719 Everything flowed through that that that's not the case here 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.680 and under you, it looks like that won't be that way. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.240 You know this is going to be a spread the 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.039 wealth type of team. How do you get them to 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.720 play selfless? How did you do that? So as you 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.200 go through the process, and in particular, just using Alan 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.840 Robinson as an example, you know, you reach into two 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.440 who these guys are as people? And when you meet 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.120 him and you talk to him and you see that, 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.920 you get a feeling. You talk to other other coaches 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.919 that I've coached them, and you get a feel for 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.120 that as well. And and so I just think that 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.800 once you explain your identity on offense and how it works, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.920 and that there might not always be fifteen targets for 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.200 one wide receiver or he ends up with one hundred 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.360 yards every game, but you lose, the guys are okay 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.800 with that, and when you're winning, they're always okay with that. 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.560 So are we have you just said it? We have 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.480 a we have a selfless team that doesn't care about 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.119 those numbers. They care about each other, They care about 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.120 doing their job within that specific play. And then they 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.720 get to rip the rewards for doing that, and so, um, 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.039 we have a lot of those guys on this team, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.840 and that's what we want to continue to keep building. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.960 It was there ever a point in this season because 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.360 you're the only team in the league has had a 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.960 lead in every game in the second half, which is 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.480 quite the accomplishment. You're in every game. No one's blowing 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.760 a torch on you. Was there any point this season 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.520 in a game, in a moment when your heart was 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.520 racing where it could have turned the wrong way? No? 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.599 Not really. Um, I think that's what's neat about this team. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.080 We got down early in the year to Arizone and 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.279 Real Quick fourteen to nothing, and you could feel a 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.760 sense of urgency from our team, and we were still 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.719 young then. Yet we had the game in Miami that 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.240 was it's just a strange game with going back and 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.000 forth and then and then we get to lead and 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.120 then they get and then recover this over time. And 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.160 but for the most part, there's always from from day one, 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.559 there's never been any doubt from our players between each other, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.360 and there's never been any blame. Uh, it's always been positive. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.120 It's it's I want to make the next play to 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.920 help this team. Coaches, I want to make the next 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.760 call and then when it happens, you can feel what 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.320 it's just. It's so strong and powerful. You feel so 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.279 good about it. And we've been winning, you know, with 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.120 the in those type of games, and we have had 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.040 a couple losses. We had the one loss at home 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:39.800 to New England. That's a good team that we played. 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.640 But we never we we alls we did. After New 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.320 England was said, all right, it's time to get back 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.720 on track and get and learn how to win again. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.200 And that's what we've done. In your quiet moments, did 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:55.240 you ever have any deep introspective thinking about how you 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.640 are managing the team and calling plays and designing the offense. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.920 I really haven't. I wish, I wish I could say 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:06.200 I have, um, but this has been NonStop from the 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.680 very beginning. Really, it's coming up on a year now 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.640 since uh, since I was hired, and um and and 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.800 I'm okay with that. The time for me to reflect 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.160 will be at the end of the season, and I 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.840 don't want that to be for a little while. I 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.239 just kind of rely on on just kind of doing 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.600 what I've done this whole time, which is which is 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.360 it's natural, and it's it's relying on your coaches, it's 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.760 it's it's feedback from your players. Uh, it's a support 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.040 staff that everybody communicates and we all just want to 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.160 do what's right for each other. So I haven't had 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:42.160 that time yet. Well here's what's interesting. You're used to winning. Yeah, well, 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.280 and and and that's a good thing. Uh, but I've 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.560 also been on a few teams where it's gone the 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.880 other way. And so when we were a few yeah, 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.160 when we were about halfway into the season, I told 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.239 I told the team in one of our team meetings, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.440 this is the point right now where you're going to 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.240 start seeing a lot of teams in this league either 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.080 gonna start going south, or they're gonna start getting a 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.040 lot better and going north, or it's one of two 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.120 ways that they're going to start going. And we have 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.320 we're at that crossroad right now. And I forget exactly 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.080 which game it was, but we won that week, and 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.800 we just continue to keep winning. It was during that 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.920 win streak that we had and that's when you start 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.480 separating and you feel it and you say, okay, this 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.600 is this is real. And then and then I really 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.160 believe I look back to the Vikings game on Sunday night, 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.840 I think that's when. That's when to everybody we felt like, Okay, 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.400 here we go.

And you are busy today working the radio 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.000 waves and spreading the wealth around town a little bit 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.960 and deservedly so to talk about it's it's a major 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.480 accomplishment to win a division title. It's not that it's 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.960 not simple to do. Um. And then I understand you 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.840 got a little podcast coming up with coach k I 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.120 know he does one. Mike Chevsky was a pretty cool Yeah, 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.320 it was really really neat and you know, for me, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.560 so obviously coach k Uh is a is a big 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.080 Bears fan and uh growing up uh downtown in the 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.960 city and and so uh just being able to talk 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.640 to him uh throughout his podcast for me, you know, 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.280 growing up and just knowing, um, just how how great 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.600 of a coach he is and and it's just it's 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.280 an amazing accomplishment to think of all the players that 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.480 he's coached and um, how they've gone on to either 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.640 the NBA or they've all become coaches themselves, and and 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.760 uh and and and high quality, high character type guys. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.400 And I just really respect that. It was it was 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:35.800 really cool to be able to talk to him. And 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.880 then let me tell you something he was in He 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.840 knew every player, he knew about every play of yesterday's game. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.120 He was detailing it up. Um he he even you know, 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.920 he was talking about Threek Cohen and how much he 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.880 likes him, and I told him he'd be a pretty 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.120 good point guard for him, and and uh but he 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.240 he uh uh he just was talking about how he 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.160 ran out of bounds there before the fourth, you know, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.520 and third and made it fourth and one and just 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.719 the details and impressed me. It was really cool. And 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.320 that play too, It was we hadn't even talked about 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.120 the game yet. You talked to Tarika about that? Yeah, yeah, 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.200 well we've we uh well, that the one we talked 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.600 about to Tarik is we always talk to our players 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.199 in regards to reaching across the goal line. If it's that, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.439 then it was that when that he was talking about 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.880 where you see at times where that ball when you 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.880 go to reach across the goal line, that ball sports 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.720 out and now all of a sudden, instead of having 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.280 the ball to you know, half yard line, now it's 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.440 a touchback with the other team. But Cunning him, yeah, 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.199 exactly exactly, so he uh, but you heard what he 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.400 said yesterday. You know, he felt pretty confident in reaching 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.760 it across and ended up being a big play. Um. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.960 But no, he's uh, you know, Coach k was just 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.320 we had a great conversation today and it was really 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.360 really special time to talk to him. Coaches no matter 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.400 the sport, love X and os and the motivation and 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.600 the thinking behind a lot of things. For sure, the 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:58.439 sports cross over and made different ways. No more of 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.599 the Bears Coaching Show with head coach Matt Neggie on 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.200 news where toyo seven eighty and one oh five point 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.280 nine FM WBB. They staggered the line of Scrimmatrick Glitzers. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.760 They're all coming Trubisky to throw SIPs it up there 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.040 cock by Cohon at the eleven runs right to the five, 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.559 darting for the pilot. Will they give it to a 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.080 minsiber one? Are they gonna say step down? Do they 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.960 say touchdown? Touchdown Bears And the celebration begins with the 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:27.040 dark end zone. First Tech got six twelve yards to Cohen. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.760 He hit the accelerator and turned the corner. Yeah, that 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.720 was a great run by three Coo. We're just talking 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.800 about it with Matt Neeggie, the Bear's head coach, as 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.720 we continue on on the Coaches Show, brought to you 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.920 by Whipfley Financial Advisers here at P ANDC Studios at Hollis. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.280 All right, let's do some quick bullet points about the 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.160 game yesterday and our remaining moments with you and our 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.840 segment coming up next. Well of offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.640 Let's start with Mitch Trubisky going back over it today again. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.000 You did obviously a lot. I went back to it 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.160 at Manny. I can't find one thing wrong with yesterday's game. Yeah, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.160 he played really well, and I think that, uh again, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.120 I'll get into some of the you know, I could 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.440 sit here and talk to you for hours in regards 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.720 to you know, play by play and tell you what 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.840 he did right, what he did wrong. But yesterday, progression wise, 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.200 I mean, he was really on fire in regards to 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.240 making quick decisions, making strong throws with conviction, um and 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.240 and really and then there was a couple of plays too, 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:21.920 where he was just was checking the ball down and 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.040 teams want to go ahead and play soft and off 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.400 and not let you get any downfield throws. And you 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:27.960 check it down to your running back and you get 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.040 a ten yard game. And so he had a really 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.880 good game yesterday, and I was proud of them for it. 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.880 Throw it a Bellamie, throw it a Burton in the 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.440 end zone. Rifles, there was some rifle throws, Yester. Yeah, 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.600 his footwork was was really good. So those are all 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.920 a lot of these throws in this offense are based 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.760 off of timing and whether it's a three plant throw, 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.680 a three hits throw, a five plant throw, a five 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.520 hits throw. And he was on time with the throws yesterday. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.600 The wide receivers ran good routes and then there were 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.040 some contested Bellamy's catch there to the right, that was 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.840 a that was a tough catch. It was contested. He 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:00.800 had a guy in his back and made strong hands catch. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.200 One of my favorite plays. And he was outstanding in 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.880 getting away from trouble just in the nick of time, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.920 but spinning away from all those you know, they were 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.840 running diamond plus what do you call when they have 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.080 sevent dbs on the field. I don't know what that is, 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:15.920 but I mean they were blitz in and coming at 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.360 him from every angle. He twists away and he fires 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.520 a throw to Sheheen, you know, a can't miss target. 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.120 I think that's a confidence builder too for Shaheen that 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.720 he's going to be more involved. Here was his clock 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.960 ticking a different way with pressure yesterday. Well, he had 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.800 good vision, good pocket awareness in there. I think his 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.960 clock was ticking. It always does. He always has a 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.080 good feel for that. The more he's in this offense 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.280 and he understands the concepts of what we do, his 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.920 clock is going to get better. And you see these 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.200 quarterbacks that are in these offenses for a long time. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.440 They sit in that pocket and they know when they 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:51.880 get rid of the ball. They know when they have 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.640 time and when they don't. And yesterday Mike Petton did 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.920 their defensive coordinator did a good job of mixing different 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:01.160 pressures and dropping guys and bringing guys and um. So 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.120 that was a good challenge for our whole offense. And 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.320 but Mitch did a great job of scrambling out making 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.520 a nice play there. Shahin you win a division and 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.000 yet today that you're you're being asked about you know, 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.080 or you always say, hey, we're you know, this is 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.440 just the beginning one on one or two oh one offense. 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.200 You know, when you break it down into a college 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.679 type program and you're saying, hey, you know, the Chiefs 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:25.240 are five oh one right now. Um wow, I mean 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.199 that's how much growth's coming. Well, we that and that 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.800 that's what we hope for. Uh. Yeah, there's a lot 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.080 there's a lot more room for improvement with with our 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:38.040 offense and um, but that's what's exciting is the guys 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.080 know that and they see that, and then we're trying 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.800 to fit in and and mold this offense into the 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.679 Chicago Bears offense. We want to make this is our offense. 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.440 I don't, I don't whatever has happened with this offensive 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.440 scheme in years past. Um, we got to figure out 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.199 how it works for us now. And we're in that 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.880 kind of laboratory right now figuring it out. We're doing 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.400 it in games, but that's the only way we can 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.240 do it. So uh, once this season ends, then we'll 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.840 come back and next year we'll be two two. So 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.159 could he could he advance even to the three or 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.360 four hundred level by next year or is this a process? 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.960 It could, but I would say it's more of a process. Um. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.159 You know, just for for anybody that you talked to 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.000 in the in the old school West Coast offense will 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.560 tell you it's a good two three years until you 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.600 feel really comfortable and you're and you're going and um 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.719 and and nowadays you you know a lot of these 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.040 teams you just don't have that luxury so um for 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.439 everything that we're throwing at this at this at these 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.320 guys on offense, I really feel comfortable where we're at. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:42.120 I like how they're handling it. I'm really surprised, and uh, 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.960 we'll just keep growing. Earlier today you said Eddie Jackson 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.800 and Aaron Lynch likely not seeing any ankle and elbow injuries. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.840 So we'll leave it at that as you as you 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.080 go through the week. That's very very good news. I 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.360 was sick to my stomach when I saw Eddie go down, 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.040 but he looks like it'll it'll be okay. Uh. The 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.120 defense in general, dominance not even the word. Right now. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.239 They are playing at a at a level that, uh 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.360 that some of the best defenses ever have played. I mean, 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:13.399 have you ever been around a defense like this, I 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.320 have not. No, I've been. I've been around some pretty 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.160 good defenses. Uh. This defense right now, with the way 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.320 that we're playing, um is is what I said yesterday 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.440 is completely relentless. It's just one play after the next. 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.080 So so if somebody has a certain play, then I'll 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.200 play number two. The next guys got to play number three. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.919 The next guy's got it, and then okay, back to 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.440
