Speaker 1: Wednesday evening, everybody, and welcome into this week's edition of
Speaker 1: Bears All Access, presented by IGS Energy. I'm Jeff Joning Alcoholom,
Speaker 1: a broadcast partner from News Radio seven eighty and one
Speaker 1: oh five point NFM WBBM. Mister Tom safely tough away
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Tom, I'm still in South Florida, so I
Speaker 1: decided to take a little time after the super Bowl coverage.
Speaker 1: You okay with that? Well, Jeff, your life is one
Speaker 1: big long vacation. I understand that you feel that you
Speaker 1: work harder than anybody else. I'm sure that the three
Speaker 1: hours of watching your really well played super Bowl held
Speaker 1: your interest. And then you know from then on it's
Speaker 1: speedos and suntan right exactly. You call it a big
Speaker 1: time one thing, and I know I talked to you
Speaker 1: about this. There is no way you could be in
Speaker 1: my position and covering an entire Super Bowl week, eight
Speaker 1: days in South Florida, traffic parts unknown, going from one
Speaker 1: place to the next, a lot of ubers, a lot
Speaker 1: of driving, and a lot of traffic jams. You might
Speaker 1: pull out every last stitch of hair you have on
Speaker 1: your head. Well, you know, the travel to get back
Speaker 1: and forth to any Super Bowl area, from Atlanta to
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Miami, it's always going to be congested.
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, in the stuff that you
Speaker 1: listen to during the week, your reports and everything, you know,
Speaker 1: you get a chance to run into a lot of people.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people that are super Bowl specific.
Speaker 1: And I think in the time since we are presented
Speaker 1: our Super Bowl rings, I think the only time I
Speaker 1: ever wore my Super Bowl ring is when we went
Speaker 1: to Miami for the Bears Indianapolis Super Bowl. So I
Speaker 1: think there's a spout, you know, when I even when
Speaker 1: I looked at pictures of Belichick, you know, as you know,
Speaker 1: as you know Cantakers, as he can be. He's the
Speaker 1: guy that wore a couple of Super Bowl rings at
Speaker 1: the hundred introduction before the game, So, you know, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, for those of us who've had an
Speaker 1: opportunity to go to the Super Bowl during the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl ring, it's really special to wear your ring and
Speaker 1: to represent Yeah, that was to me was one of
Speaker 1: the most impressive things, the one hundred introductions and the
Speaker 1: way they did it by position group and coaching and
Speaker 1: impact players and of course Devin Esther among them. He
Speaker 1: was down in the stadium. I know, our good friend
Speaker 1: from Fox, Luke Canalis, ran into him. He was down
Speaker 1: down in the lower part of the Stadimore. He was
Speaker 1: not supposed to be, but he somehow got video of
Speaker 1: Brady and Montana and all the great quarterbacks far talking
Speaker 1: and then he Devin came up game ma hug and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: where's Joniac? And uh, you know the thing is, you know,
Speaker 1: he and I it's just a weird connection because of
Speaker 1: how we called his big plays. And it was very cool.
Speaker 1: I cannot lie. It was very cool to get a
Speaker 1: big kick out of hearing Devin Hester you are ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I mean it was pretty pretty impressive. Well, you know
Speaker 1: what the thing about it, you and Devin are always
Speaker 1: going to be intertwined, because I don't think anybody that
Speaker 1: meets Devin Hester for the very first time says, Devin
Speaker 1: you are ridiculous, and so it is a phrase that
Speaker 1: will stick with him for life. But I think when
Speaker 1: you I believe that was an ad lib when you
Speaker 1: pull that out the first time you said it about him.
Speaker 1: His accomplishments for those types of lengths of plays, they
Speaker 1: were ridiculous, they were so impressive. And you know, Doug Colletti,
Speaker 1: our statistician, tells us all the time how the punt
Speaker 1: and the you know, the punt and the kickoff can
Speaker 1: be two of the biggest plays in the game. And
Speaker 1: each time that he did touch the football there, you know,
Speaker 1: there was high alert and concern by the opponent. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Jim Miller on board as well. Let
Speaker 1: me know when he's there, fellas, and then we will
Speaker 1: be joined by Bill Laser, the Bears new offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: coming back into the fold in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: Has been at many stops. We'll have a nice conversation
Speaker 1: with him. I'll come it up next here on Bears

Speaker 1: now joining us as well, and the new offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: of the Chicago Bears. Here in twenty twenty. Let's welcome
Speaker 1: to the city and to the program, Bill Laser. Bill,
Speaker 1: good evening. How you doing, buddy, I'm doing great. Thanks
Speaker 1: for having me. Good to have you. And a long,
Speaker 1: decorated career with a lot of different franchises, and you know,
Speaker 1: just going back through the coaches that you worked for
Speaker 1: over the certainly the beginning part of your career, you know,
Speaker 1: dary names like Dan Reeves and Joe Gibbs and Mike
Speaker 1: Holmgren and Marvin Lewis for a long time, Jim Moore,
Speaker 1: Junior Chip, all kinds of names, all different kinds of backgrounds.
Speaker 1: Do you feel you got a little bit of everybody
Speaker 1: in there as you bring that to the Chicago Bears? Now? Oh,
Speaker 1: I think so, I think I think as you go
Speaker 1: through it's like with anyone as you go through your career.
Speaker 1: You know, I was very fortunate in the guys I've
Speaker 1: I've had a chance to work for. But I think
Speaker 1: you go through and you try to do a great
Speaker 1: job of learning from everyone. And I think even with
Speaker 1: the great ones, you probably learned some things that you say,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's him, but that wouldn't be me.
Speaker 1: So there's some things that maybe they would do that
Speaker 1: you wouldn't do, you know, But but hopefully you pick
Speaker 1: up a whole lot more that you'd like to have
Speaker 1: as part of you. And then over time when you
Speaker 1: get to the point where you get to apply it, right,
Speaker 1: because at some point you're a young assistant and you're
Speaker 1: you're helping guys, you're drawn pictures and doing making copies
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and then you get to point
Speaker 1: where you're coaching the quarterback, and then you get to
Speaker 1: point where you're calling the plays, and that's when I
Speaker 1: think you really start to formulate what you believe in.
Speaker 1: And I think I could probably go through the list
Speaker 1: and pick things from each one of the guys that
Speaker 1: I worked for that that I'd say, yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: that's not part of me. Bill and one of your
Speaker 1: interviews I was watching, you talked about how every season
Speaker 1: is different, and Matt's even said that before in the past.
Speaker 1: Since you're playing days, it's there is the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: Is there a beginning to your teaching process every year
Speaker 1: because each season is a new year? I think so.
Speaker 1: And obviously you adjusted a little bit based on the
Speaker 1: guy you're coaching because you know what his history is.
Speaker 1: So for example, if you're new with someone or you
Speaker 1: have a younger player, then instead of breezing through the
Speaker 1: terminology and the defense, well, we really have to make
Speaker 1: sure that we have this part down. So there's an adjustment,
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you don't touch on defense when
Speaker 1: you're dealing with the older quarterback. You still start at
Speaker 1: a and you work your way through and then you
Speaker 1: look at your team and how much time do we
Speaker 1: need to spend on each of these things? I think.
Speaker 1: I think right now for us at the Bears, it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of a neat situation because there is so
Speaker 1: much that's new. I mean, we're just talking about right now.
Speaker 1: When we go in the staff room and close the
Speaker 1: door and put the video on or get on the
Speaker 1: board and start talking. You know, it's still coach Naggie,
Speaker 1: and it's still still Matt's offense. But there's so many
Speaker 1: of us in the room who are new veteran coaches
Speaker 1: that he's brought in and some of the younger coaches
Speaker 1: who've kind of moved around in different roles, that it
Speaker 1: is kind of a new exciting feel in our room.
Speaker 1: I think, Bill, Jim Miller here, welcome to Chicago. Good
Speaker 1: to have you. And I remember I talked to you
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when you were taking over
Speaker 1: Cincinnati as EOC and just Andy Dalton how you're gonna
Speaker 1: bring him along and introduce the things, and just how
Speaker 1: you were gonna structure the offense. And gotta believe, you know,
Speaker 1: even for a young quarterback like Mitchell Trubisky had a grade,
Speaker 1: you had a perception to him when he came out
Speaker 1: of out of North Carolina. And you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: Bears fans and I'm curious as well, would like to
Speaker 1: hear your take because he's got a ton of ability,
Speaker 1: but he's just a young player and learning the ropes
Speaker 1: of playing quarterback in the NFL. Well, first of all, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: are you really making me nervous? I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'd like to behalf of the yes that Paul Alexander
Speaker 1: is for you on your others job. He's tremendous. I
Speaker 1: love having Paul. He is first of all, he is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I have obviously I worked with Paul and Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: when you have him on. I told Paul this after
Speaker 1: I had listened one time when I was driving in
Speaker 1: the car and I said, gosh, when are you on again?
Speaker 1: He told me, and so I was able to listen
Speaker 1: on the app. But he does such a great job
Speaker 1: of making it like digestible for the fans and for
Speaker 1: people who aren't maybe into the details of the business,
Speaker 1: but he's still true to what it is for people anyway.
Speaker 1: I just think Paul does a great job. You guys
Speaker 1: always do, but he does a great job when he's
Speaker 1: on with you. So now, I mean, that's hard for
Speaker 1: me to live up to that talking to you. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you real quick, Jim, Jim, real quick. Just
Speaker 1: so everybody knows Paul Alexander from the offensive line coach
Speaker 1: of the Bengals, and you know what, Bill, he's really
Speaker 1: good on Twitter two breaking down plays just you know,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I learned a lot. He does a
Speaker 1: good job. But don't tell him. Don't tell him. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what coaches head's exploding now he's growing on
Speaker 1: social well, I know, I know, I'm just I will answer.
Speaker 1: I will answer your question. I'll get back your questions.
Speaker 1: First of all, I first met Mitch Trubisky. I had
Speaker 1: coached nine years in college, and I coached seven years
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That was for Dan Reeves at the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, for Joe Gibbs at the Washington Redskins, for
Speaker 1: Mike Homegren at the Seahawks, and then Jimore at the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: And then after those seven years, I went back to college.
Speaker 1: I coached at the University of Virginia for three years,
Speaker 1: which was a whole lot of fun. And while I
Speaker 1: was at University of Virginia, I visited one particular little
Speaker 1: high school up there east to Cleveland to see some
Speaker 1: young sophomore or junior quarterback named mister Trubisky. So I
Speaker 1: actually went to his high school when he was in
Speaker 1: high school. He might I can't remember if he was
Speaker 1: a sophomore or junior at the time, so he might
Speaker 1: have been one of those guys that then later years
Speaker 1: later when he came out in the draft and I
Speaker 1: called him just to kind of get to know him
Speaker 1: a little bit as a quarterback coach or a coordinator
Speaker 1: getting ready to scout him. That when I called him
Speaker 1: on the phone, my name popped up on his phone,
Speaker 1: you know, the Laser University of Virginia, so he remembered me.
Speaker 1: You know, It's just kind of funny, how you know,
Speaker 1: it can become a small world. Obviously, at this time
Speaker 1: of year, will only allowed a little bit of contact,
Speaker 1: you know, just general. Obviously I've I've called them and
Speaker 1: talk to him and have seen him around the building
Speaker 1: a little bit. We can't talk football or anything right now,
Speaker 1: but I'm excited. I think the immediate feeling you get
Speaker 1: for him is how enthusiastic he is and how important
Speaker 1: it is for him to be great, you know, And
Speaker 1: that's that's let's face it with any learner, right if
Speaker 1: if you consider yourself a teacher, as a coach, that's
Speaker 1: one of the most critical things you look for as
Speaker 1: a guy who really is motivated to be great. So
Speaker 1: if we can if if if that's true, which I
Speaker 1: think it is, and we can start there, then then
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, it's going to be a
Speaker 1: great future and we're just going to keep keep going.
Speaker 1: Bill Laser, our guest here on in Chicago Sports Radio
Speaker 1: six seventy to score. This is Bears All Access, Jeff
Speaker 1: Tom and Jim Miller with the coach, the offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: of the Bears. A year off so to speak, spent
Speaker 1: as a as a consultant or some sort of role
Speaker 1: with Penn State last year. What did that do for
Speaker 1: you in terms of a reset or just how you
Speaker 1: looked at the game from a different lens. Maybe, Well,
Speaker 1: I would say when you when you're in coaching and
Speaker 1: you know the carousel turns and then and then it
Speaker 1: stops you, you always nervous when it's time to move
Speaker 1: and can I get one? And I always would have
Speaker 1: dreaded a year where I did. I wasn't on a
Speaker 1: team so to speak, you know, working and in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways, it was a great year. I think
Speaker 1: my family would tell you it was a great year.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of fishing done, but football wise,
Speaker 1: it was a great year. I got to visit more places,
Speaker 1: both NFL and college. I started in the spring and
Speaker 1: went to a bunch of college spring practices um and
Speaker 1: then I got into some NFL ots. I mean, I
Speaker 1: had some NFL one coach who really didn't know me.
Speaker 1: I had a mutual friend call a guy I respect
Speaker 1: if I didn't know the guy, and he's gasped, I
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, you might be coaching against us
Speaker 1: next year, you know, somewhere, but okay, I'll let you in.
Speaker 1: He let me in and let me sit in. Some
Speaker 1: of the staff mean's of course, now I feel bad
Speaker 1: because they are on our schedule this year. So he
Speaker 1: was right, But you know, I didn't. I don't think
Speaker 1: I learned any secrets. Anyway. I've known James Franklin a
Speaker 1: long time. I did visit them in the spring. James
Speaker 1: asked me to have a role with them, and we
Speaker 1: kind of went around and around on what the best
Speaker 1: role would be, and so I guess we would just
Speaker 1: say volunteer consultant. I spent a good amount of time
Speaker 1: at various times there. The offensive coordinator from Penn State
Speaker 1: last year, Ricky Ronnie, played quarterback for me in college.
Speaker 1: So obviously this is a guy I'm very familiar with.
Speaker 1: So it was a really easy relationship for me to
Speaker 1: be able to help them. It gave me. One of
Speaker 1: the things that I thought it would help with is
Speaker 1: just to see a lot of college football. So all
Speaker 1: of the advanced work and the studies that I did
Speaker 1: for them, I just got to see a lot of
Speaker 1: football on tape. Study people, how are people attacking? You know,
Speaker 1: there's some things in the URPO world and such that
Speaker 1: colleges can do that the NFL can't. But I thought
Speaker 1: it was a fun way to kind of get rebooted
Speaker 1: a little bit and what are the trends that are
Speaker 1: happening in the college football world. And the role that
Speaker 1: I was able to take with him didn't have me
Speaker 1: there every day, and so that allowed me then to
Speaker 1: have other parts of my time to study what was
Speaker 1: happening in the NFL this season, which was, you know,
Speaker 1: again something you don't normally have the time to do
Speaker 1: that when you're when you're when you're stuck in it,
Speaker 1: you know, with your head buried in your office. So
Speaker 1: I think I'm you know, I'm not telling people that, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to be out for a year, but if
Speaker 1: you are, I can tell you what to do and
Speaker 1: you'll feel pretty good about it. Hey, Bill, you just
Speaker 1: used the word attack and I was watching a piece
Speaker 1: when you were miked up and you're standing behind your
Speaker 1: offense and you were saying attack, attack, attack. What do
Speaker 1: you mean by that? Is there a definition to it
Speaker 1: or is it just more aggressive tempo and practice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean maybe maybe at the time
Speaker 1: it was a theme that we were talking about. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say today there's a theme or a definition
Speaker 1: that is overarching for the offense. I think sometimes sometimes
Speaker 1: you have to encourage them to maintain an aggressive offensive mentality. Right.
Speaker 1: We all see so many times across the NFL '
Speaker 1: let's talk about the NFL. We see these pictures where
Speaker 1: people want to stand up at the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: or fake audible enhancing and do all this stuff. And
Speaker 1: some guys have been very successful at it. Not everyone
Speaker 1: is built for that number one. Number two. You have
Speaker 1: to be careful. If you start doing that every play
Speaker 1: and letting the defense dictate to you what the best
Speaker 1: plays run, then you never feel like, hey, let's dictate
Speaker 1: to them sometimes, you know. So, I think there's a
Speaker 1: balance between that, right, and so I think you have
Speaker 1: to keep that mentality for your players. Sometimes it may
Speaker 1: have to do with the tempo that you playing. When
Speaker 1: I say tempo, I mean how fast are we get
Speaker 1: in the next play? Run? You know, I worked when
Speaker 1: I worked for Coach Homegren. Matt Hasselback was our quarterback,
Speaker 1: and I came in Matt had worked played for him
Speaker 1: for years. You know, in Green Bay is a backup
Speaker 1: and then in Seattle. So one of those situations where
Speaker 1: you come in as a quarterback coach with Matt knew
Speaker 1: a whole lot more about what Coach Homegren wanted than
Speaker 1: I did. You know that when you just start working
Speaker 1: for him. But Matt explained, he said, well, when coach
Speaker 1: says he wants tempo, what he means is I'm first
Speaker 1: down in second down. These are plays we can pretty
Speaker 1: much kind of go and run for the most part,
Speaker 1: unless there's something crazy has happened. So he wants me
Speaker 1: to get out of the huddle, get up to the line,
Speaker 1: start my cadence and go and put pressure on the
Speaker 1: defense to get lined up and go. He said. Then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, third down comes up, I'm going
Speaker 1: to break the huddle. I'm gonna get up and now
Speaker 1: all of the defense is scrambling to get lined up,
Speaker 1: and now I can see what they're doing. So then
Speaker 1: if I have to check the play, I can check
Speaker 1: the play. You know, Matt was just a master, you know,
Speaker 1: of how to play the game with the defense. And
Speaker 1: but but if you don't have those first plays where
Speaker 1: the defense is kind of feeling you come at them,
Speaker 1: then you never forced them to show their hand anyway.
Speaker 1: That's that's one example of it. But I think it's
Speaker 1: a mentality. It's a mentality. Well, it's a symbiotic relationship, coach,
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm glad you brought up Paul Alexander
Speaker 1: because and how it goes hand in hand with one
Speaker 1: I'm castile who we talk to a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: And you know, it kind of is for a quarterback.
Speaker 1: The offensive line is the symbol of, you know, the
Speaker 1: circle of life. You know, almost like the movie can Value,
Speaker 1: That's how you're going to survive. And you know, to
Speaker 1: work hand in hand with one another. So really just
Speaker 1: that relationship with the run game call and go plays
Speaker 1: like you said, maybe first and second down where you
Speaker 1: can get after it and come downhill and get some
Speaker 1: positive yards for a good third down result or a
Speaker 1: third medium what we call stayed on schedule or hopefully
Speaker 1: never get to third down. Let's have a couple of
Speaker 1: those days, right. Actually, I just I just had to
Speaker 1: kick I just had to Yeah, I just had to
Speaker 1: kick one out of my office. He was trying to
Speaker 1: explain to me how he was going to present the
Speaker 1: run game to me, but I said, I got hey,
Speaker 1: I gotta call the guys here one just give me
Speaker 1: a minute. But uh no, we're looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a veteran line coach, you know,
Speaker 1: who understands and all of us I think who've been
Speaker 1: added to the staff here are guys. We've been in
Speaker 1: a bunch of different systems, done at some places where
Speaker 1: you've thrown up more, Somewhere you've run up more. You know,
Speaker 1: we've all had some stops at some places where you've
Speaker 1: been really really good statistically, you know, with some numbers,
Speaker 1: and you know, you just try to draw in and
Speaker 1: as we sit in the staff room and I just
Speaker 1: see what coaching Aggie's doing. You know, Matt's just bringing
Speaker 1: this in and drawing in all those experiences. But then
Speaker 1: you have to make it work. You know, you have
Speaker 1: to have guys right now, you talk about building a team,
Speaker 1: That's what we're doing in our staff room, you know,
Speaker 1: really and getting to know each other and watching the
Speaker 1: film and you know, debating through plays, and that's how
Speaker 1: we become a team first. And then when the players
Speaker 1: come in, you know how it is. I mean, they
Speaker 1: can feel when you're together. And so we're to me,
Speaker 1: you know when again, coaching Aggie runs the offense, right,
Speaker 1: Coaching Aggie calls a place. So what's what's the role
Speaker 1: of the offensive coordinator. Well, one of the roles is
Speaker 1: when we go in that room and shut the door,
Speaker 1: help create that that atmosphere in that room for the
Speaker 1: staff first. You know, that's to me, that's a fun
Speaker 1: part of building the team is let's start with the staff.
Speaker 1: Let's bang out all the issues, let's talk through it,
Speaker 1: let's see what and then it's gonna it's gonna grow
Speaker 1: and moreph a little bit, and we're going to start
Speaker 1: turning into what we're going to be. And then if
Speaker 1: we do a great job now, then when the players
Speaker 1: walk in the door again, for them, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of new voices in the room. There's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of new voices out on the practice field.
Speaker 1: So I think they'll feel something different. Wow, we could
Speaker 1: talk to you for the full hour, Big Bill, no
Speaker 1: question about it. Very interesting, very very diverse background. Indeed, Scranton,
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania born and raised, played, so it's that Northeast Ohio
Speaker 1: Western PA corridor connection with you Di Filippo. We're going
Speaker 1: from the Cleveland area, and of course Mattneggie. So it's
Speaker 1: an interesting group of guys that are the offensive minds
Speaker 1: with the twenty twenty Bears. We'll be looking to pick
Speaker 1: your pick your brain further as we move on. Thanks
Speaker 1: for so much for joining us. Bill, Guys, it was
Speaker 1: my pleasure anytime, and Jim hopefully again, if I was
Speaker 1: just half the guest that Paul is for you, then
Speaker 1: I'm at least I'm on track. Oh you got a coach,
Speaker 1: We'll say anytime. Guys, All right, Bill Laser, Bears offensive
Speaker 1: coordinare Thanks again for joining us, and good luck with
Speaker 1: everything coming up next Tom there, Jim Miller from Serious
Speaker 1: XM's NFL Radio and yours truly Jeff Joniac breaking down
Speaker 1: the Bears and this conversation with Bill Laser coming up
Speaker 1: next down Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score this
Speaker 1: segment up Bears All Access is brought to you by
Speaker 1: Old Spice. Never let a friend lose his slagger, Jeff Joni, Aac,
Speaker 1: Tom there and Jim Miller as we are bringing you
Speaker 1: our post Super Bowl fifty four show just down the
Speaker 1: phone with Bill Laser, the Bears offensive coordinator, and a
Speaker 1: fellas you know when you you we've talked in the
Speaker 1: last four weeks to Wankstio, Clancy Barrone, John d Philippo
Speaker 1: and now Bill Laser, all new coaches. Some of these guys,
Speaker 1: at least three of them, were not employed by an
Speaker 1: NFL team last year, so they got a fresh reset,
Speaker 1: maybe reinvigorated. And then Jen d Philippo, you know, leaving
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator in Jacksonville. There's a lot here
Speaker 1: with these guys. When you hear them talk, what is
Speaker 1: your reaction to their philosophies, how they look at the game,
Speaker 1: and just their communication skills, which I think is an
Speaker 1: underrated quality for these coaches. They are teachers, but they
Speaker 1: got to be able to talk not only to us,
Speaker 1: but to their players in a way that that resonates
Speaker 1: with the players. They can't be guys that are I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you guys had to be in rooms
Speaker 1: where those types of coaches existed, where they weren't great
Speaker 1: communicators at times. But you know, you know, Jeff, I
Speaker 1: think one of the most exciting things that Bill said
Speaker 1: was towards the end of the segment with him when
Speaker 1: he talked about how excited he is to sit in
Speaker 1: the room with the rest of the coaches and just
Speaker 1: throw around ideas because if the chances that we've had
Speaker 1: to talk to these four their years of service in
Speaker 1: the NFL, the different coaching trees that they've come up through,
Speaker 1: because you know, you talk about Bill, you know, from
Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs to Chip Calle, you couldn't find any more
Speaker 1: two different coaches in the history of coaching in the
Speaker 1: league and stuff. However, the experiences that he took from
Speaker 1: every one of these guys, including the Dan Reeves and
Speaker 1: all of them, in all the experiences these guys have,
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting conversation because I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be intelligent football conversation that comes with experience
Speaker 1: filled minds and experiences. So I think it's really encouraging
Speaker 1: from what the Bears fans have been able to hear
Speaker 1: the last four weeks and going forward, well, I just
Speaker 1: think for me, it's it's imperative. I mean, like you said,
Speaker 1: they're getting to know each other, you know, whether it's
Speaker 1: Clancy Juan Castile, certainly Bill Laser as the OC, and
Speaker 1: they're going to communicate with it. But they've got to
Speaker 1: come to a consensus in an agreement of what are
Speaker 1: we meaning they're each going to do with the evaluation
Speaker 1: of the offensive lineman, you know, and maybe wand Castile
Speaker 1: or say even David going, hey, so and so felt
Speaker 1: that this player is best at doing this, you know,
Speaker 1: and this is what we felt the positions we tried
Speaker 1: to get him in. Whand Castillo may come in and say,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't see Bobby Massey that way. This
Speaker 1: is what I see Bobby Massey doing. This is what
Speaker 1: I see Cody whitehair ass who's obviously a versatile player.
Speaker 1: And it goes on and on and on from tight
Speaker 1: end position all the way down to the running backs.
Speaker 1: What style of runner are they and what can we
Speaker 1: do to best implement a system a scheme that you
Speaker 1: know accentuates all their strengths. So is it a gap scheme,
Speaker 1: is it an outside zone scheme? Is it, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: counter scheme or power scheme, you know, all these schemes
Speaker 1: and say hey, this is what we can do, this
Speaker 1: is what we can't do, and then once they come
Speaker 1: to an agreement, that's what they're gonna emphasize. But I
Speaker 1: do believe they have to see it the same as
Speaker 1: a coaching staff before they move forward and say, hey,
Speaker 1: this is now. Now, it's time that we've agreed on
Speaker 1: all this, let's make it work. Let's put it in
Speaker 1: play and make it work. Is there a chance, big
Speaker 1: Jim and Tom that the off offensive style and yes,
Speaker 1: man Naggie comes from Kansas seating super Bowl champions with
Speaker 1: a wonderful man and a Super Bowl winner out Andy
Speaker 1: Reid and his system, and you often think, out you
Speaker 1: just bring it in the same system, but Matt's tweaked
Speaker 1: at Matt's looked at things differently. Could we see a
Speaker 1: drastically different type of offense in twenty twenty because of
Speaker 1: these infusions? What do you think about that? Go ahead? Jim, Well,
Speaker 1: I think bringing in Clancy as the tight ends coach.
Speaker 1: That guy comes with a lot of experience, but I
Speaker 1: expect a much different play from the tight end position
Speaker 1: just with his resume. I really do in terms of
Speaker 1: blocking assignments, what the tight ends are asked to do.
Speaker 1: Tight ends are still it's the tight end centric offense.
Speaker 1: We've said that from the get go. I don't think
Speaker 1: coach Naggi is going to change from that standpoint. You know,
Speaker 1: that's just my opinion. He's got his core beliefs and
Speaker 1: what he believes, and I think we just saw their team,
Speaker 1: a team that he was just on, win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I think he envisions his offense look like Kansas Cities,
Speaker 1: which it can be fast break which we saw can
Speaker 1: be physical at times. Look at Sherman the fullback. He
Speaker 1: they close out the game with a power run. I
Speaker 1: mean that was an outside bob play essentially back meaning
Speaker 1: the fullback on the backer and just hammering it home
Speaker 1: for a thirty eight yarder. That's how they finished the
Speaker 1: game out. So I do think that's what coach Naggie envisions.
Speaker 1: I do think Bill Laser comes from that style of
Speaker 1: places that he's been in the past, and obviously Juan
Speaker 1: Castile who's married up with Andy Reid. So I do
Speaker 1: think that's what they want it to be. Now, can
Speaker 1: these players do what we're asking them to do? Is
Speaker 1: this out of the stretch to do those type of
Speaker 1: things that the Kansas City Chiefs do, or what can
Speaker 1: we do to maybe push it back or put an
Speaker 1: emphasis in a different area of focus. How we get
Speaker 1: it to produce like what Kansas Cities does. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the system is going to stay the same. Matt
Speaker 1: Nagee is going to be the play caller. He's going
Speaker 1: to teach this system to these assistant coaches. I think
Speaker 1: one of the obligations of these assistant coaches is getting
Speaker 1: the players to play fundamentally better. And you have to
Speaker 1: be more productive because you're doing things correctly, repeatedly, and
Speaker 1: so I do I think that's the key ingredient here.
Speaker 1: If I don't think, I don't care how old you
Speaker 1: are in the NFL, from one year to ten years,
Speaker 1: you can always be taught something. And Juan Castile is
Speaker 1: going to teach something different that's been taught here in
Speaker 1: the past and every one of these coaches because when
Speaker 1: we listen to the conversations that we've had to them,
Speaker 1: you can hear the experience and every answer they give.
Speaker 1: So I think as much as Matt's going to teach
Speaker 1: the system to these new quarter these new offensive coaches,
Speaker 1: I think the new offensive coach has got to bring
Speaker 1: that to the field and fundamentally make this team better
Speaker 1: at what they're expected to do. Jeff Joey Acton Fair
Speaker 1: and Jim Miller here in Chicago Sports Radio six seventy
Speaker 1: to score. This is Bears All Access. Chris Dickens and
Speaker 1: Julio Raso are users today. Good to have you alongside.
Speaker 1: We had Bill Laser on just a while ago, if
Speaker 1: you just joining the program, and was very intrigued by
Speaker 1: everything he had to say. We haven't had a chance
Speaker 1: the three of us to talk about the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and the you know, the way it all ended, way
Speaker 1: of how it all happened a week in general. And Jim,
Speaker 1: I saw you down there a couple of times. I
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk to you after the game.
Speaker 1: But pardon me, what can in your opinions, the Bears
Speaker 1: derive from how they got there, how the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers got there, and how they want to get there. Well,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think in any time when you
Speaker 1: make it to the Super Bowl, I think certain things
Speaker 1: got to go your way. Obviously, injuries and all those things,
Speaker 1: and sometimes the ball bounces your way as well. But
Speaker 1: clearly Both these teams are talented and they do things
Speaker 1: extremely well. For the forty nine ers, it's running the
Speaker 1: football to set up their play affs and pass games.
Speaker 1: So just look at that run scheme of the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. It was absolutely incredible all year and they
Speaker 1: had fruits in this Super Bowl as well. And I
Speaker 1: think for eighty Reid and obviously when you look at
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, they're explosive. Man. They did that
Speaker 1: in every single game in the postseason. They're down twenty
Speaker 1: four nothing their first playoff game, they were leading by
Speaker 1: halftime twenty eight twenty four. I think coach Nagy wants
Speaker 1: to be an explosive offense. That was impressive. Come back
Speaker 1: the second week against Tennessee they're down by what ten
Speaker 1: and that they were down seventeen to seven. I believe
Speaker 1: in that one they come back or seventeen to seven
Speaker 1: they were down and they come back and win that one,
Speaker 1: and then even in the Super Bowl. So I think one,
Speaker 1: you've got to have a belief that the system can
Speaker 1: be explosive, come from behind your net, never out of it,
Speaker 1: and a lot of it is geared towards a quarterback,
Speaker 1: and certainly Patrick Mahomes was explosive in every game, and
Speaker 1: I think Mitchell's going to see that that, hey, why
Speaker 1: can't I be like this in this offense certainly needs
Speaker 1: pieces around him, but it's shown over time with how
Speaker 1: well Andy Reid's offenses have been over the course of
Speaker 1: his history. That's why it's top ten in the NFL
Speaker 1: all time winning winning this coach. When you look at it,
Speaker 1: I would think that, you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: positives there that they can draw from saying, Hey, this
Speaker 1: is what we're going to emulate, and why can't we
Speaker 1: do that personally as a football team. Offensively, well, I
Speaker 1: think the keyword here is through the whole conversation is explosiveness,
Speaker 1: because that's what the Bears need to do. A couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, we saw some offensive formations that put
Speaker 1: themselves in an explosive position and they were able to
Speaker 1: capitalize on it. When I did go batch and walked
Speaker 1: watch that piece with Bill Lazar and he was repeating attack, Attack, Attack,
Speaker 1: I kind of like that, because if you're going to attack,
Speaker 1: you better be explosive. And I think you can have
Speaker 1: explosives from David Montgomery as much as you can from
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson and whomever else is on the field at
Speaker 1: that time. So I think it's multidimensional explosiveness. And even
Speaker 1: when Andy Reid had to have invoke a little bit
Speaker 1: of a running game throughout the playoffs, he was able
Speaker 1: to do that. He didn't lose the train, He didn't
Speaker 1: lose the thought process of what Patrick Mahomes is capable
Speaker 1: of doing. But he understood when you're facing in an
Speaker 1: opponent that has a vicious running game, you better be
Speaker 1: able to go out there and have a time consumptive
Speaker 1: running game that also, you know, results in points. You
Speaker 1: also need speed, and I think that's an area of
Speaker 1: the Bears are going to look to improve. You gotta
Speaker 1: add some element to that that really threatens coverage and
Speaker 1: threatens the seam with speed, functional speed for this kind
Speaker 1: of explosive player, you want to have second other break here.
Speaker 1: This is Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to Score. This
Speaker 1: segment of Bears All Access is brought to you by CDW.
Speaker 1: People to get it learn more at CDW dot com.
Speaker 1: Jeff Jony Act, Tom there, Jim Miller with you on
Speaker 1: Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to Score. As we take
Speaker 1: a look at some topics of interest. This one was great.
Speaker 1: You know when Nick Bosa and I don't know, jim
Speaker 1: you feel he would have been MVP of the game
Speaker 1: if the forty Niners had I think it could have
Speaker 1: gone either way. I thought Jimmy Garoppolo was actually playing
Speaker 1: pretty well through three quarters, but he did uh Bosa,
Speaker 1: I thought owned fisher of the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you look at Mahomes, a lot of his scrambles
Speaker 1: were always out to the right side because Bosa was
Speaker 1: just barely missing him. I mean he was tracking him
Speaker 1: down and just barely getting getting away from from a sack.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought it could have gone either way.
Speaker 1: But I thought Jimmy up until the fourth quarter, he
Speaker 1: and Bosa were probably my two guys that I was
Speaker 1: thinking could get it for Sam Frand. And then the
Speaker 1: reason I bring it up because Tom, you know, you
Speaker 1: and I discussed last year before the draft, your concerns
Speaker 1: about this man just staying healthy given his brother's history
Speaker 1: and his own history at Ohio State. And if you
Speaker 1: had a pick again, you your rookies that we're gonna
Speaker 1: make an impact, you know, would you have changed your
Speaker 1: opinion about Nick Bosa. I don't know, because last year
Speaker 1: I wasn't really high on him, and you go back
Speaker 1: and you put yourself, Oh, if I was a GM,
Speaker 1: this is what I would do. I would have probably
Speaker 1: not chosen Nick Bosa. I would have went with someone
Speaker 1: with more of a durable history and a guy that
Speaker 1: didn't skip a season just to get ready for the draft.
Speaker 1: And then he did his spraining his ankle or no,
Speaker 1: he pulled his hamstring or sprained his ankle the first
Speaker 1: OTA practice and I said, all this, you know, put
Speaker 1: me you know, some worry in my mind. But you know,
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa surpassed everything that I thought he was going
Speaker 1: to be able to do this year. It'll be interesting
Speaker 1: to see the conversation we have in three to four
Speaker 1: years if they figured out a way to attack him,
Speaker 1: to limit his speed, take advantage of his get off
Speaker 1: with some plays that are specifically designed to attack him.
Speaker 1: But you know, we kind of all have these conversations.
Speaker 1: If I was GM, Hey, if I was GM, I
Speaker 1: would have missed on Nick Bosa because, like Jim said,
Speaker 1: he had the opportunity to be the MVP of the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and you know, before the game was being played,
Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking of Richard Den on that
Speaker 1: defense and being the Super Bowl MVP with you know,
Speaker 1: I think two and a half sacks and a cause
Speaker 1: fumble and everything in Bosa. You know, he was a
Speaker 1: he was a damaging defensive end throughout this rookie season.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to watch him, you know, go
Speaker 1: on season two, three, and four. And it helps playing
Speaker 1: with four of the first rounders. Correct, correct between Buckner,
Speaker 1: Eric Garmstead, who's going to be a free agent. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get paid a good amount of money. And then
Speaker 1: they traded for a first rounder in d Ford and
Speaker 1: people forget Solomon Thomas how high he was drafted. He's
Speaker 1: more of a rotational guy. But that's a pretty damn
Speaker 1: good you know, Jim. Right before the commercial, Jeff brought
Speaker 1: up the words speed, and I think when you look
Speaker 1: at the Bears and you talk about the word speed
Speaker 1: and you look at botha, I guess speed is not
Speaker 1: only on the offensive side of the ball. When you
Speaker 1: get that destructive speed playing so well if you do
Speaker 1: have limited offensive tackle play within your division or throughout
Speaker 1: your schedule, man, he's a guy that they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to dedicate multiple blockers too. And that's going to open
Speaker 1: up an opportunity for somebody else. I'm just surprised for
Speaker 1: how because I do. I'm with Tom. I think he's undersize.
Speaker 1: I underestimated how powerful he was gonna because, like I said,
Speaker 1: at times, he was walking Eric Fisher into the backfield.
Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like that short stature. It gives
Speaker 1: him the leverage Tom where he gets under the old
Speaker 1: iman's pads and he's just starts driving. And when you
Speaker 1: see him physically up close on the field, he does
Speaker 1: have powerful legs and he has the leg drive. But
Speaker 1: I never thought he was as powerful as what he is,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm bringing all this up, and Tom
Speaker 1: brought it up as well to me earlier in the day.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's now time to dig in. It's
Speaker 1: time to dig into the scouting combine coming up here
Speaker 1: in a few weeks, and you're gonna start seeing the
Speaker 1: endless amount of draft fantasy draft, not fantasy draft, but
Speaker 1: mock drafts. And you know, you look at how now
Speaker 1: it's popular or to re rank the draft from last year,
Speaker 1: and Jim, do you have a player that you would
Speaker 1: have reranked higher. I'll let you think about that. I mean,
Speaker 1: mine would have been a j Brown Tennessee because he
Speaker 1: turned into a number one type receiver for the Titans
Speaker 1: and had had the four digits eaving yards with the
Speaker 1: strength of Ryan Tanneville. And he was a fifty first
Speaker 1: pick last year. Yeah, how about the guys on display
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Look at all the receivers, the
Speaker 1: impact they made last year. Here Mikole Hardman, he had
Speaker 1: six touchdowns during the regular year for Kansas City and
Speaker 1: he was a really good return man. Kind of broke
Speaker 1: him in like they did Tyreek Hill. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know who should have been drafted high. Deebo Samuel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for San France. That guy was tremendous as a rookie.
Speaker 1: Very same thing physical. I mean that guy will run
Speaker 1: over people. So there's even later round draft picks that
Speaker 1: you'd say, wow now that you saw them play in
Speaker 1: the impact that they had as a rookie. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: there's two right there that probably should have went higher
Speaker 1: than what they did. You know, you look at our
Speaker 1: David Montgomery. He's got he's got a really high upside.
Speaker 1: You know, when you think about the changes that I've
Speaker 1: been made in the staff and David Montgomery's going to
Speaker 1: go through his second year of learning process, not necessarily
Speaker 1: of all the information because Maddisdale here. However, the coaches,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they will have input up their own. But
Speaker 1: when you take a look at Montgomery was able to
Speaker 1: accomplish from the get go, even though they did bring
Speaker 1: in a free agent running back who you kind of
Speaker 1: thought brought in a little bit of veteran experience. But
Speaker 1: when we were introduced to David Montgomery at training camp,
Speaker 1: there was nothing that he was incapable of doing. So
Speaker 1: if he gets a better understanding of the offense, I
Speaker 1: think David Montgomery will be one of those guys that
Speaker 1: maybe considered underdrafted a little. All right. With that being said,
Speaker 1: we will now discuss in our next segment, our final
Speaker 1: segment of the night. You've heard all the coaches here
Speaker 1: over the last month. If you've been listening to the
Speaker 1: program the Bears new coaches, what do you want next year?
Speaker 1: Fellows run game more better? What aspect of it is
Speaker 1: intriguing to you is they put together this new look
Speaker 1: Bears offense for twenty twenty. We'll pick up the conversation
Speaker 1: next time Chicago Sports Radio six seventy The score you
Speaker 1: can help deserving families by donating a gently used winner
Speaker 1: coach to the Chicago Bears Jeweled Osco Coach drive that
Speaker 1: all the participating Jeweled Osco locations now a few February
Speaker 1: twenty eighth donations benefit the Salvation Army. Jeff Jonny Act,
Speaker 1: Tom Thare, Jim Mellar with you on Bears. I'll access
Speaker 1: a few minutes left in our program tonight, real quick, Jim,
Speaker 1: I didn't know where your post Super Bowl post game
Speaker 1: duties were. What did you cover the winning locker room?
Speaker 1: What did you do? Yeah, yeah, we covered the winning
Speaker 1: locker room, went down, talk to Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid
Speaker 1: and just all the players talked to Kelsey and you know,
Speaker 1: they were a static, you know, just like you you
Speaker 1: would feel after you accomplish, you know, something like that,
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl. You dream about it as a kid.
Speaker 1: And plus all the hype, you know, fifty years of
Speaker 1: the Lombardi Trophy since it last happened for Kansas City,
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid has such high there's such high admiration
Speaker 1: for him around not only the league, but how those
Speaker 1: players feel about them and again how those players respond
Speaker 1: to his style of coaching. So yeah, it was absolutely,
Speaker 1: you fork, it was. It was tremendous. So when you
Speaker 1: look at the forty nine ers and and I was
Speaker 1: in both side, not in the locker room, but the
Speaker 1: podiums and so forth. The forty nine ers, defensive players
Speaker 1: in particular, and Deebo Samuel, they were stunned. They had
Speaker 1: one word answers. Bosa was extremely angry about the situation.
Speaker 1: He has ninety second interview with the media consisted of
Speaker 1: a couple of one word answers and that was it.
Speaker 1: He was totally poled. And then you look at Deebo Samuel,
Speaker 1: another another young guy, rookie obviously from a national championship
Speaker 1: team at Clemson, you know, feeling the pain of this
Speaker 1: dude not interested in really sharing their feelings about how
Speaker 1: it all unfolded, what went south. It was really Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and George Kittle that really, you know, did speak
Speaker 1: deeper into it about how it all happened. How bad
Speaker 1: can the hangover be for a team like that, and
Speaker 1: it's even instant other other teams over the years. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, we saw the reaction of Cam Newton after
Speaker 1: they're losing Super Bowl. But Jeff, you've also been a
Speaker 1: part of a team that you know, experienced a losing
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and you understand that just that feeling of
Speaker 1: just such disappointment. Um, you know, but now I think
Speaker 1: it's almost what do you what does this do to
Speaker 1: San Francisco going forward? Because for both teams, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be really challenging how things are gonna happen going forward
Speaker 1: with the enormous contract that Mahomes is gonna get, but
Speaker 1: the repeat in the attitude you have to have in
Speaker 1: San Francisco and um, you know, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: it's into Garoppolo has got it. He know, he's he
Speaker 1: has to improve along the way. Garoppolo cannot be a
Speaker 1: finished product right now. He has to go out there
Speaker 1: and he's got to be able to be you know,
Speaker 1: put their offense in a more threatening position more often. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got less than thirty starts. You know, this is
Speaker 1: really his first year starting in the NFL for San Francisco,
Speaker 1: so he's got a lot of room to improve. Mahomes
Speaker 1: is certainly, if you know, phenomenal just in terms of
Speaker 1: the explosive plays and just that guy just plays at
Speaker 1: a higher level. I talked to Andy Reid about that
Speaker 1: and even Patrick Mahomes will admit it. He said, I
Speaker 1: benefited by having Alex Smith in front of me, because
Speaker 1: Andy Reid said they had never been further in their offense,
Speaker 1: is deep in their offense than they were with Alex Smith.
Speaker 1: And Alex Smith would you know, put all the tools
Speaker 1: of the trade. And he passed him along to Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: And Patrick Mahomes will be the first one to tell
Speaker 1: you he goes. I benefited greatly from that. He's a
Speaker 1: phenomenal talent, but he learned a lot from a veteran
Speaker 1: quarterback that prior to him Mahomes even arriving there. Think
Speaker 1: about that, Alex knew this guy's gonna take his place.
Speaker 1: Led the team to four out of five playoffs, and
Speaker 1: still was an unselfish player, knowing he was going to
Speaker 1: be shipped out of town, and Patrick soaked everything up.
Speaker 1: You know, Jim, Alex Smith does not see the game
Speaker 1: like Patrick Mahomes. He's got you know, his visual you know,
Speaker 1: he's got a fifty three yard you know, perfial vision there.
Speaker 1: Because it's amazing the plays and you know we've seen
Speaker 1: it through gray passers, whether it be our era of
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson watching him through Michigan State onto the Lakers
Speaker 1: and stuff, and you just see the creativeness that some
Speaker 1: of these guys innately have in them. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what we see out of Mahomes more more than
Speaker 1: any quarterback that we've seen in quite a while. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I also feel, yeah, I also feel the Bears themselves
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, the disappointment of losing that game, somehow,
Speaker 1: some way, there was a hangover, and I think if
Speaker 1: they set back and think about it, I think they
Speaker 1: felt that there was a bit of a hangover in
Speaker 1: that too, all right before before we get off and
Speaker 1: running here for another show, run game next year, more
Speaker 1: or better runs. If you're not going to run more,
Speaker 1: what do you want? What kind of offense you want
Speaker 1: to see? I think you know they ran the ball
Speaker 1: thirty four percent of the time, So if you run
Speaker 1: it better, I think that will increase your desire to
Speaker 1: run the ball. It'll put you in more favorable second
Speaker 1: and third down situations if you're successful on first down
Speaker 1: running the ball. So I do think if you want
Speaker 1: to take what is the one thing that's going to
Speaker 1: help Mitchell Trubisky be a more threatening cornerback? And that's
Speaker 1: the ability for the Bears to run the ball better
Speaker 1: by a running back. It's gonna give Mitchell Moore opportunities
Speaker 1: to run the ball himself, but you just got to
Speaker 1: get some efficiency out of it. Seven of the top
Speaker 1: twelve playoff teams, they were top ten in the NFL
Speaker 1: running the football for making the playoffs. Kansas City people
Speaker 1: don't think they can run it because they were in
Speaker 1: the twenty three. When they do run it, they run
Speaker 1: it well. They average four point five per Carrie all season.
Speaker 1: All All right, fellas, wrapping it up for this week.
