You're All 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:21.040 Access passing to Chicago Bears football. Bears All Access is 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:25.040 brought to you by IGS Energy and sponsored by Athletical 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:30.240 Physical Therapy and CDW. How are we doing tonight, everybody, 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.680 and welcome into this week's abbreviated version of Bears All Access, 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:36.920 just about forty minutes before we hand it off to 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.760 Bulls basketball in their season opener against Atlanta. I'm Jeff 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.600 Johnny ac along but broadcast partner top there, Tom Good evening. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:47.239 How you feeling, big, Jeff? You know, I'm excited about football, 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.400 and it's kind of weird to say, because at the 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.720 start of the season we hope, we think we get 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.960 this far. But now the Bears that have gotten this 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.920 far and they in the horizon in their sites, there's 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.640 a possible playoff opportunity going out there for them, and 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:06.280 we'll discuss all of that with Jacksonville's senior reporter JP Shadrick. 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.640 He'll be calling in here and momentarily at six ten 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.920 and then joined by a red hot kicker and Cairo 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.560 Santos at six thirty, and then we'll hear from some 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.000 other news of the day and we'll get right to that. Actually, 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.039 because the Bears did have a walk through today, Tommy, 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.640 and thanks again to our producer tonight, Jordan Malley at 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.720 the score and Jordan Tredup and Dan burreally from the Bears. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.840 So walk through today, keeping fresh, keeping fresh. Plenty of 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.160 work to get done over the next couple of days, 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.360 but wanted to keep them fresh today and I had 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.960 no problem with that. Just getting these guys right. No 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.520 Dan Bush again, Jalen Johnson or Buster screen in that 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:42.680 secondary Tommy foot shouldering concussion protocol issues. Yeah, but you know, mentally, 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.880 the information they're able to supply to everybody, whether you're 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.040 not going through the walk through or you're on the sideline, 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.800 you still have to absorb all the information because this 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.480 is not an opponent that you or I or they 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.200 see very often. So it's not like you have a 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.960 great deal you know, of conference experience against these guys, 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.559 or you see them multiple times a year just because 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.720 of watching video. It's something where you almost have to 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.480 become familiar with the roster because a lot of us 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.720 don't know a lot about them. Wow, certainly on the 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.760 defensive side of the ball. They've had some injuries obviously, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.799 and some players that they've cleaned out of there over 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.320 the years, So the big names are not here. They 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.800 do have some good linebackers. We'll talk about those guys 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.880 later on. But you know, as we continue to grind 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.239 on these guys, there's so many names that frankly, I've 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.800 never even heard of, a lot of undrafted rookie free agents, 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.120 a lot of undrafted players and guys that have found 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.240 their way to Jacksonville. And the end result right now 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.280 is a one in thirteen outfit has last thirteen in 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.960 a row, but played six games decided by a touchdown 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.840 or less. Timmy, and that's been the hook all week, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.359 from the time the coaches Show started on Monday night 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.760 or at the podium after the win over the Bikings, 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.600 was let's focus. I'm making sure we take this team 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.160 seriously because you've watched the tape. I've watched some of 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.400 the tape. They do play hard, they do. You know, 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.560 it's really interesting because when their last week's game against Baltimore. 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.360 They gave up a safety early. They had a really 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.280 bad series, bad field position that really, you know, haunted them. 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.840 But then they come out in the fourth play the 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.320 game man, they were going for it all. They were 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.440 going for a double bomb on each side of both 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:22.359 the receivers, but at the drop of the quarterback Minshew, 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.519 he slipped and it just combabulated the entire play. So 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.960 even though they had a bad start, as soon as 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.840 they came back on the field, they looked right to 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.760 attack you and they had it. But if the quarterbacks 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.160 slipped and they prevented him from throwing the ball, so 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.760 you know they're ready to attack if they have a setback. 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.960 I think the one thing we can counted, they're gonna 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.320 try to establish the run. James Robinson, the kid out 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.520 of Rockford Lutheran High School who tore it up here 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.680 in the state of Illinois with record setting high school 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:52.160 performance and outstanding all time rushing leader at Illinois State 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.520 with forty four hundred and forty four yards and forty 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.760 four touchdowns. Believe it or not that that's a true 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.360 stat line there, and he's picked up right as an 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.080 undrafted rookie, tearing it up he's got thirteen hundred plush 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.080 yards from scrimmin Now he's got a bum ankle, has 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.040 had a sore knee. Not likely going to practice this week, 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.400 but they think he's gonna play Sunday. And why not. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.520 It's against his boyhood Idols, the Chicago Bears. You know, 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.160 all these guys that are invited to the combine and 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.560 they have all these numbers and you all of a sudden, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.839 they pass the eye test because there's a certain height 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.080 and there's a certain weight. You can never put an 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.440 X ray of their heart. And when we look at 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.520 some of these players that have gone unnoticed, Darnell Mooney 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.520 for example, some of these guys that are drafted later 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.480 or they become free agents, that's the thing that you 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.719 can never measure on them. Their work, discipline, the effort 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.840 they're giving when they're tired, and the heart, the heart 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.880 they have. Well, how about Blown Nichols, because this is 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.240 the man's really risen, you could say on defense. It's 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.120 arguably the guy that's been the biggest improvement, and he 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:57.600 speaks about that today. What's inside his heart? Well, pretty much, 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.880 my whole life has been like an underdog type thing. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.159 You know, I've never been the highest recruited guy, never 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.239 had the most offers, never been a guy really looked 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.960 at to be that guy, and uh, you know, and 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.120 that and that burnt me, and that added a lot 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.520 of fire into me, and it just made me want 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.440 to outwork everybody. I always told myself, like, if a 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:17.920 guy was better than me, it was just gonna be 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.039 because he was more talented, not because he outworked me. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.960 And that's kind of the mindset I lived by. And 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.200 this off season, I just grinded. I didn't have a 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.480 year I wanted to have last year though, with injuries, 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.440 So I just grinded, grinded, grinded, and I kept my 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.160 head down and I went no matter the circumstances, whether 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.000 it was a pandemic or whatever, I was gonna find 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.240 a way to make things happen. And uh, you know, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.120 I think all that you know comes in and that's 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.000 that's really the reason why I'm able to play at 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.600 a high level right now. I didn't cheat the grind. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.640 I didn't cheat myself in the off season. And I 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.760 think it's starting to show. And he's a listener. Tommy 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.880 listens to a key Mat Hicks. He's put him under 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.120 his arm and ushered him through his first three years 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.000 and the moment he got here and he listens and 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.320 he's coachable, and both Mac and Hicks have talked about 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:04.400 that today. Very significant upgrade this season for belom Nichols. Well, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.520 you know Jeff early in his career, when he first 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.279 came on the scene of training camp, you and I 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.080 were standing out at practice one day and we said, Wow, 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.599 this guy's got traits to be a good defensive lineman. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.479 And if everything you know adds up over the next 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.440 couple of years, it has added up his dedication, his 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.080 work ethic, his information, his listening, his style, his change 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.640 of ability from inside to outside, and his versatility. So 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.479 it's something you recognize. But then on the other hand, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.680 he say, man, well this pan out over the next 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.560 couple of years, And it's panning out and he's only 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:39.200 scratching the surface. Ultimately, what is going to be five sacks, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.720 third on the team and quarterback hits and second in 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.200 tackles for loss. So he's had a great year. He 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.520 helped to continues it against this Jacksonville team. We're gonna 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.040 find out shortly from Jacksonville's writer Senior writer J. P. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.440 Shadrick will join the program. Find out who my quarterback 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:59.000 this game. I mean, I'm expecting Minshew, Bopus Minshew. You know, 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.200 the idea that he's thrown out there is that they're 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.719 gonna split first team reps with Mike Glennon's that's the 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.599 word from the head coach. Yeah, but you know, Minhi 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.799 was like the poor man Baker Mayfield because he's really 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.239 excited about being the quarterback in Jacksonville. He loves playing 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.320 the sport. He brings a lot of enthusiasm out there, 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.640 and he may be taking a beating against Baltimore last week, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.000 but he answered the bell and he stood in there, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.880 So you know, I have respect for him because he 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.600 is a guy that first bus on the scene in 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.720 Jacksonville and said that, look, I want to be here. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.640 I want to be this quarterback. Cordarell Patterson did not 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.840 practice today either, he Keem Hicks. I fully expect both 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.280 those guys to play. Cordarell didn't get a lot of 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.600 offensive snaps after suffering a bit of a tweak to 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.960 his knee, but he did continue returning kicks. Yeah, you know, 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.160 he tweaked it on his knee after he caught an 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.920 outlet pass to the left. You see him go for 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.160 it in the game, but he did, he came back, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.320 he played all right, We're gonna take our first break 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.360 tonight here on Bears All Access. We're brought to you 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.760 by IGS Energy with Tom there, Jeff Joniac coming up next, 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.160 j P. Shadrick get an insight on the Jacksonville Jaguars 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:11.160 on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy The Score. Welcome back 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.720 to Bears All Access, brought to you by IGS Energy. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.559 Choose clean energy for your home at ags dot com 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.400 because every good choice adds up to a better world. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.560 Jeff Joniac top there, back with you, along with our 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.520 special guest, Senior reporter for the Jacksonville Jaguars, JP Chadrick 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.760 will join us now and JP, are you doing tonight? 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.240 How things going? Because I'll tell you what. While there's 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.880 fifty three guys plus in that locker room and a 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.600 head coaching staff, and all want to win this game 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.720 and put their best foot forward. All I've been just 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.400 dabbling a little bit listening to Jacksonville radio and podcasts 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.200 in the last couple of days. They don't want to win, 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.600 They just they just want the number one pick. So 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.360 how does that work in that locker room. It's a 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.480 seed man. I'll say that. Thanks for having me on, guys, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.880 it's great to be with you. And it is total 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.120 opposite mindsets. Right. The fan base has never had a 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.360 number one overall draft pick in Jacksonville's history since nineteen 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.439 ninety five. They've had a number two pick a few times, 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.240 but they've never really been in that position with that 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.600 pick to get a quarterback that they feel like can 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.079 be the face of the franchise for ten or fifteen years. Now. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.120 You can argue also they've missed on not picking guys eighth, ninth, 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.480 tenth in the draft that ended up being those guys. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.520 That's another story altogether. So the fans see this in 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.080 their hands for the first time ever and they're like, oh, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.040 we're gonna do anything we can to secure this for 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.200 the next two weeks. But as you guys know, that's 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:41.280 not how the NFL mindset works. Coaches don't care about 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.800 that because they might not be here next year. Players 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.040 don't care about that because with a new regime, a 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.480 GM change already and possibly a coaching change, all their 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.320 jobs are on the table as well. So the better, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.440 the better take you put out the last two weeks, 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.600 the better for the player obviously, and then they're wired 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.240 to win games. I know they've lost thirteenth straight, but 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.640 they're not just going to lay down the problem. The 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.000 problem they have, though, is that they might just not 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.840 be good enough. And if we haven't figured that out 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.760 by thirteen in a row, you might find it out 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.400 this week. Hey, JP, real quick on the quarterback situation, 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.240 because your head coach today saying that he's going to 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.000 share first team snaps this week and decide is this 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.880 a bit of gamesmanship or is there a possibility that 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:34.560 Glennon could be the starter over Gardner Minshew. I you know, 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.679 it's interesting. I never have heard of a quarterback competition 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.240 on a one and thirteen team in week sixteen. I'll 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.720 be honest with you. That's the first, believe for ten years, 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.000 ten years, I've never heard of that. But I think 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.920 it's fairly real. I think there's a shot Lennon could play. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.640 It's really a matter. I think it comes down to tomorrow. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.520 Today it was more of a walk through day. Tomorrow 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.559 will be there a big installed day and Scott team 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.440 and all that stuff will happen tomorrow, and I think 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.480 the guy who has to better Rench tomorrow will probably 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.200 have the advantage going in well, they're off Friday, have 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.280 the advantage going into Saturday's final practice before the game 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.000 on Sunday. I don't you know, if I were to 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.839 put odds on it, I think it's probably sixty forty 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.640 in favor of Gardner going into the week, and then 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.000 we'll see how they play. But I don't think it's 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.959 that long of a shot for Glenna to get a 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.400 chance against his old team this week. Hey, JP, to 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.320 talk a little bit about the future of Jacksonville and 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.600 when you think about the idea playoffs being at the 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.719 end of the rainbow for these guys eventually, and then 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.199 you look at the draft position they're in. If they 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.400 go out there and they bring in a quarterback and 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.880 they have a horrible offensive line, there's very little chance 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.480 of him developing and there's a chance of him getting hurt. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.840 When you go back and you look at what a 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.640 dominant ten twelve year left tackle and the center. You know, 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.120 to me, I was talking about this early, the best 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.160 offensive lines I've seen is a dominant left tackle in 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.880 a really, really good center. So when you look about 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.040 the reality of developing this football team that could bring 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.200 in a new quarterback and have and be healthy at 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.360 the end of the year. Ie Joe Burrow, is it? 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.280 I mean, has everybody guaranteed it's a foregone conclusion if 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.920 they lose the next two games that they're going with 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.080 Lawrence and there's going to be no other possibility of 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.760 scouting investigation. Well, I think you go. Look, you do 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.040 your due dilligence, But at the end of the day, 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.800 if you had the number one pick and the best 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.960 quarterback to come out, since Andrew Luck is there and 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.560 he checks all the boxes on and off the field, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.400 I don't care who the GM ends up being because 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.480 they're still interviewing people. You're probably gonna go pick that guy, now, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.680 I'm with you. Asked the Indianapolis Colts what they think 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.240 about what happened to Andrew Luck. They didn't protect him 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.520 properly over the years there, and it built up over 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.280 the years where he was just tired of play it. 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.959 He was tired of getting beat up all the time. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.880 So you get the quarterback because it's so difficult to 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.440 get that piece, as you and Chicago, No, it's very 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.400 difficult to get that piece and have him there, but 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.120 you're far from done at that point. It starts after 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.200 that with the left tackle, with the interior of the 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.760 offensive line. Then you can start building on the defense. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.400 I think this is where the building of the Jaguars 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.920 over the last years has, you know, maybe gone opposite 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.880 of where the league has gone. They built a great 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.720 defense in twenty seventeen, one of the all time greats 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.160 in this franchise's history made a playoff run because Blake 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.120 Portles played out of his mind and they could run 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.760 the football. Well, that doesn't play for the long term, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.600 especially when you're paying free agent guys on defense. So 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.559 now that you know you got to keep up and 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.959 score with people, you got to score with people, and 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.840 you have to score in this division especially, and they 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.240 have not been able to put that together. So I 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.160 think the next rebuild, which is coming very soon, I think, 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.120 you know, especially if it's the number one pick, you 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.679 get the trigger, the trigger man at that offense, and 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.080 then you build around that, keep him healthy, get some 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.760 weapons out there, which they feel they have some base weapons, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.640 and then you have something going and then you can 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.960 really build on the defensive side of making a complete team. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.400 But if you have a chance to get that quarterback. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.800 You can do all the due diligence you want, guys, 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.680 but Trevor will be coming a Jacksonville in my opinion. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.160 All right, So, how do you guys create a culture 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.800 in Jacksonville that when you do bring on these other 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.160 free agents and these other elements that they don't want 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:35.920 to pull the rip cord and try to get out 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.040 of there within a year or two years. What do 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.360 you think is the most important culture builder that's gonna 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:49.080 create that atmosphere around Jacksonville. It's a great question because 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.600 they've they've had so many changes in the last few 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.480 years around here since that twenty seventeen team that we 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.760 just talked about, right, and a lot of those guys 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.160 that were on that team were part of the group 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.480 that either wanted to get out of here found a 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.560 way out. Well. Remember twenty seventeen, Tom Coughlin took over 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.120 as the executive vice president of football operations on top 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.760 of the GM and the head coach. They both reported 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:18.040 to Coughlin. But Coughlin has a totally old school approach 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:22.160 to player personnel issues and roster management and things of 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.920 that nature, and it just didn't rub right with the 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.240 players union a lot of times. The fine system had 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:34.000 some issues here. Well, that got removed from the building, 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.480 so Coughlin was gone. They tried this year to just 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.920 have Dave called Well the general manager, and then Doug 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.920 Marrone both report to the owner directly. That didn't work 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.960 out all the while. You can get away with that 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.080 some of that stuff if you're winning football games, right, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.360 if you have a good enough roster to win you know, 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.040 seven eight nine games, you're flirting with the playoffs, and 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.560 that you know, it's the best deodorant. I think it's 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.080 John Madden used to say. But they haven't won them. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.080 I mean, losing so many games right now, and there's 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.840 just really no hope. And they were, in my opinion, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.080 a lot of that stuff happened because they were paying 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:14.360 out big contracts to some players that you can argue 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.360 probably didn't deserve it that early. Blake Mortle's got a 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:21.920 second deal here somehow, Yes, who did? Miles Jack got 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.160 his deal early. Good football player playing at a Pro 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.320 Bowl level this year, but he got it a little early. 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.920 And a guy like Unike and Goqua who was putting 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:34.720 up sack numbers and sack fumble numbers and impact plays 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.360 on defense. Couldn't you know, get a sniff or anything 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.880 like that. And Jalen Ramsey wasn't getting his in time 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.560 though it was going to come at some point. Those 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.840 guys got restless. So winning games, paying the right guys, 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.760 setting a culture of winning, and we're all about football only. 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.320 I think there was a little bit of that down 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.200 here too. And it's all it's a lot of us 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.560 been washed away already. There's probably some more change coming 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.920 on the horizon, all right, JP, I wanted to get 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.439 in to ask you about James Robinson real quick, a 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.600 local guy here, but we are out of time, so 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.400 we gotta we just trust you. That's he's a fiery 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.320 guy that got overlooked in the draft, so we're happy 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.680 for his success. Thank you so much for joining us. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.240 Happy holiday's, Merry Christmas to you and your family, and 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.880 good luck with the with the grind here. Appreciate you guys. 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.200 And yeah, quickly, Robinson did not practice today. I would 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.840 expecting to play Sunday. Thanks for having me, guys, Thanks right, 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.200 thank you. J P. Shadrick Jacksonville Jaguar senior reporter. Let's 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.639 take a break. This is Chicago Sports Radio six seventy 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:48.280 the score. Welcome back, everybody to Bears aut Access is 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.080 brought to you by IGS Energy, Jeff Jonny Akin, Tom Bear. 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.040 This segment of Bears aut Access is brought to you 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.720 by Microsoft Surface and CDW. People'll get it learn more 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.639 at CDW dot com. We are going to be listening 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.200 to the sounds of Cairo Santos coming up at the 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.720 bottom of the hour before we do that. Though, Matt 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.479 nag he pretty ticked off today, Tommy, how that role 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.960 Quant Smith got a Pro Bowl snub? You want to 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.680 really know my reaction, I'm not going to give you 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.879 my real reaction. I'm just not going to I'll just 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.320 leave it at that. This guy leads the NFL in 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.760 solo tackles, and he leads linebackers and tackles for loss. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.879 I don't think anything else has to be said. I 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.720 could go on and on about that one. I'm gonna 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.760 leave it just at that. I think it's it's that 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.280 this guy is an absolute stud and for him to 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:35.840 be left off is just just simply not right. Yeah, 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.560 it's pretty embarrassing that he's not on all the Pro 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.159 Bowl team, But you know what, the Pro Bowl is 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.000 kind of nonsense, because half of those guys would be 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.760 opting out if they had to go in the Pro 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.520 Bowl and play anyways, and then roll Kuan Smith would 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.600 eventually make it up onto the Pro Bowl team. But 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.680 it's about All Pro and I still think ro Quan 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.400 Smith deserves to be named All Pro. And I think 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.240 that's the highest altar now days that you can stand 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:07.160 on in terms of teams season a postseason awards, because 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.320 when you're playing at a Pro Bowl level, it's different 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.760 than playing in first, second, third year All Pro or 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.399 Pro Bowl level. All Pro is what you want to do. Right, 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:20.159 There's only two inside linebackers on the NFC rosters for 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.840 the Pro Bowl, so it's Bobby Wagner and Fred Warner. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.080 Fred Warner an outstanding player with forty nine ers. Really really, 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.480 he's he's serious. And Wagner has had a great reputation 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.359 obviously in Seattle. But you can make a case, strong, 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:38.320 strong case for you just indicted everybody. Wagner's got a 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:43.000 strong reputation. Groquan Smith is showing a new level of 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.480 linebacker play from covering backs out of the backfield, tight 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.120 ends off the line of scrimmage, He's blitzing he's got 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.160 tackles for loss. He's leading the NFL into end tackle 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.440 and solo tackles. So I mean there's a he's got 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.520 the list of credentials to make it to the Pro Bowl, right, 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.360 And you know it's not only that, just the way 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.880 he's leading. You know, he's running the show. He has 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.040 made a big advancement in that regard. A couple of 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.000 young players to keep an eye on, in that regard 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.680 as their leadership abilities that started in college and knew 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.640 that they would have an opportunity to open that umbrella 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.760 here at the NFL level. He's one of them, and 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.840 so is David Montgomery. We're gonna take another break. When 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.000 we come back, we'll be joined by Bears kicker Cairo Santos. 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.200 He's coming up next here in Chicago Sports Radio six 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:36.320 seventy the Score. This segment of Bears All Access is 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.440
