Tom Fare, 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.519 Good evening Buddy. Over the next hour, we're gonna break 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.840 down Sunday's home opener against the Giants. Special guests lined 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:51.960 up including Bob Popa, the Voice of the Giants, coming 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:53.720 up at six ten six thirty. Got a couple of 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.200 segments with Juice Javon Wims with a touchdown and it's 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.920 only catching the day on Sunday and the win over 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.520 Detroit that will be at the b of the hour, 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.320 and then we're gonna hear a little Jimmy Graham tom 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.479 an interview I did with him in advance of Bears 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.600 Game Day Live. They'll hear it on Fox on Sunday 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.600 morning at ten thirty with You and I and Luke Canellis. 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.520 First of all, health check to Robert Quinn Calil Mac 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.240 today both limited ankle knee, respectively. But that's two days 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.000 in a row at least on the field getting some 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.760 work in for Robert Quinn. Does that give you optimism 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.000 for Sunday against the Giants? Well, and you kind of 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.360 look at the injury port from last week. Khalil Mack 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.480 was on the injury port as well with some type 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.559 of ankle issue, but he came out and played every 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.360 snap that they needed of him. But I'm not sure 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.360 about Robert Quinn. I have high hopes for him because 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.840 I know that he's a difference maker to this defense. 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.959 He can provide the un fat I think teams without 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.680 knowing what he was going to provide. We're preparing for 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:51.280 a defense that included him. So now it's a mingo's 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.360 gotta come up and play as hard, and I think 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.080 the rest of the supporting cast to Khalil Mack has 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.520 to play equally as hard heard from the coordinators as 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.960 we do each and every Thursday. Check gotill pretty direct 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.600 about what happened in the run defense. It was a 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.040 big day for Adrian Peterson. The Bears did get to win. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.560 They made the play to win the game, but given 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.280 out the Lions ran it. Tom He's fully expecting the 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.680 Giants and Sequon Barkley to try to do the same. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.799 It's copycat league. We're gonna see the same thing. We 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.200 got a great running back coming town, and after last week, 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.080 you know they're going to try to run the ball 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.280 right at us, whether it's between the tackles, get them 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.880 on the edge, throwing the ball. In the pass game, 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.280 screens this, that and the other. So we've got our 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.440 hands full. Yes, they do in both run and pass 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:37.000 because Barkley is equally is explosive in the passing game, 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.639 and as he showed that on Monday night against the Steelers. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.760 But when you watch that tape of that Steeler game, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.680 what is it the Steelers were doing. They got a 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.160 great defense. They are as good as any defense in 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.440 the league, really aggressive front. But fifteen carries and six 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.560 yards with a little long of seven, you gotta go 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.160 back to ninety eight with a back fifteen carries having 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.680 only that many yards. That was Kareem Abdul Jabbar for 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.360 the Medolphins against I believe the Saints or Broncos can't remember. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.640 They almost made each play one dimensional. They didn't give 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.200 Barkley an escape route. And that's the unique thing about him. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.120 He is so creative on his feet that if someone 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.600 over pursues a play, he'll take advantage of that. What 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.880 Pittsburgh did as they played very discipline within their lanes, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.600 and so they never gave a big void for him 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.600 to capitalize on. And you know Chuck McGonnell today, when 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.240 he was talking in front of media, he never singled 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.560 out one element of his defense. He talked about a 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.760 group effort. And I think that was precise because everybody 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.960 had a hand in allowing Adrian Peterson to gain some 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.600 big yards. Whether it should have been better effort on 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.480 the first level, a couple of issues where he got 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.520 to the second level with a full head of steam, 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.280 and he's a difficult guy to bring down. So now 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.560 there's a body of work that every single team in 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.400 the NFL can watch, pay attention to, and prepare for. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.720 And so I think the Bears have to upgrade their 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.400 pressure on the line of scrimm. But that's the case 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.400 each and every week. What did you see, because there 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.720 were not a lot of mistackles by the Bears, was 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.880 it just simply the blocking they got These guys they 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.040 were blocked, Yeah, you know, they were blocked, and sometimes 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.920 just because of the speed of the game that you're 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.160 trying to get used to after about fifteen days of 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.599 practice that it's completely different monster than anything you faced 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.640 in practice. Now, if you're gonna disengage from a block 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.320 in nine on seven period in practice, it's completely different 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.960 than disengaging in a live block. It's different than getting 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.280 away from bodies that are diving at your knees and 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.960 trying to trying to have cut blocks to make you 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.160 very insecure. So again, it's it's it's definitely a drastic 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.240 improvement that I think that you're going to see these 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.039 teams go through. We're not talking about just trying to 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.760 get through the preseason healthy and then into the regular season. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.080 It's drastic improvement from week one. And it was Bill 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.720 Lazar that said high school coaches improved week to week. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.000 College coaches improved from one half to the next and 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.760 professional coaches improved each series, and so I think that's 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.200 the case going forward. Even on defense. I know that 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.160 there were a lot of questions about Danny Trevathan's performance, 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.279 and certainly at the end of the game, that could 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.680 have went very differently with the Georgia rookie if he 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.000 didn't drop that pass on his assignment covering a back 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.800 out of the backfield. But Chuck was very as you 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.760 pointed out, he would not go down that road because 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.600 it was a complete defensive effort that led to a 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.000 four hundred plus yard day for the Detroit Lion. It was, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.840 but you know, that play specifically was just reaction. When 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.560 you look at the route of the running back. He 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.400 kind of looked like he was going to undercut the 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.080 route at the first down marker. But as soon as 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.880 you thought he was gonna undercut, he took it off 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.719 field of the pylon. And you know, I really think 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.840 that this kid from Detroit's being treated unfairly for anybody 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.120 to think that that was an easy play to make 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.320 while you're backing into the end zone with bodies flashing 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.360 in front of you, and then you have a high 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.839 velocity pass from Matthew Stafford. It wasn't just a four 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.320 gone conclusion that he was going to catch it. It 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.760 was an unfortunate drop by the young kid, and the 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.720 Bears benefited because of it. As I always say, I'm 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.440 a Bears fan. Meet me, I'm one hundred percent. I agree, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.599 one hundred percent, I'm a Bears fan. But when you 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.360 look at Danny Trevathan specifically, you know he's gonna understand 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.800 how the route's gonna be run, how he has to 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.960 move his feet. I guarantee you every single route run 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.040 by a backer tight end in the Giants game, Danny 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:31.360 Trevathan has studied at fivefold. Tom, Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Ready, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.080 Happy one hundred birthday. Pretty neat one hundred years start 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.400 off with that. I think it's it's crazy to think 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.719 of how you know where we're at as an organization 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.719 and be a special part of that is neat. You 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.719 know here with with coach Hollis and what he's done here, 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.440 it's a special pretty neat. Yeah it is. Jen. It's 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.000 the hundredth birthday and the anniversary of the National Football 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.680 eag of which the Bears are are prominent, and the 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.599 first and tonight the Bears and excuse me, Browns and 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.880 Bengals with play in Cleveland to celebrate that. From an 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.479 NFL perspective, in the we even had the one hundred 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.520 celebration a summer ago. But from what I understand, any 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.960 player who played a snap in the National Football he's 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.680 gonna get some sort of gift from the National Football League, 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.000 down or Hunter. So check your mail, Tom, Hey. I 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.080 look forward to it, and I'm proud to have been 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.239 a part of it. I was born here in nineteen 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.280 sixty one, and I ben a Bears fan in my 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:24.000 whole life. So it's a it's a long relationship that 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.400 I've had with the Bears and it will continue on forever. Right, 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.640 it takes on special significance when you talk about George 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.600 Hollis and the birth of the Chicago Bears and the 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.160 birth of the National Football League. On this day. Coming 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.200 up next, we're gonna be joined by the play by 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.920 play voice of the New York Giants, Bob Poppa here 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.720 on Bears All Access.

Is this your 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.920 twenty sixth anniversary season? Voice of the Giants, Pop Pop, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.360 kind enough to take some time out tonight with us 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.840 from New York because this twenty six Yeah, this is 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.120 is twenty six full time. Been with the team since 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.280 eighty eight. That's an investment, right there, my brother, That's 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.760 an investment. But boy, no year is gonna be like 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:41.560 this one. Odd You know, when Darius Slayton scored on 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.960 a deep post against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.600 you're expecting to hear these tremendous roars and was dead silent, 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.240 even when the Steelers always travel well, and you know 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.680 they would have been a big bunch of Steeler fans 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.439 in the building. Teams came running out and it felt 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.880 like you were watching a scrimmage and you are not 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.640 coming to Chicago? Is that correct? And how how are 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.079 you prepared for that? As we all discuss it amongst 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.200 each other, so to speak, the other thirty play by 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.200 play guys, I'm sure you've talked to some and maybe 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:17.200 you've done this before, just not football. Yeah, I mean, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.800 I got I had to cancel my reservation to Gibson's. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.880 So that's a bummer. H Yeah, this is this is 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.120 weird man not coming to the Windy City, perfect time 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.920 of a year to be there. It's just a bummer 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.680 because you miss so much. Right, You can't go on 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.800 the field before the game. You can't catch up with 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.160 people that you know that are coaches on other teams 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.679 and players that are on other teams. You get that 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.680 last little bit of information on the opponent, and none 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.840 of that exists now. I mean, we're gonna be calling 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.280 it from the Giants practice facility, We're gonna get a 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.880 feed from the network, and then we're gonna get another 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.600 feed to help the analysts out a little bit. But 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.040 it's really not the way to go. I've done this 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.079 before on many occasions for Olympic style sports, whether it 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:14.480 was Bob sled, cross country skiing, biathlon, rowing, some of 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.720 these other sports, water polo, but it's it's not conducive 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.200 for football, Hey, Bob. During the course of my career 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.720 playing for Mike Dicka, he did the one time start 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.280 practice over because we weren't carrying enough enthusiasm into it. 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.720 And I saw Joe Judge did it a couple weeks 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.920 ago in training camp. Can you give us a little 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.240 introduction to Joe Judge that will not a lot of 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.840 us know a lot about. Yeah. I mean, well, first 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.080 of all, he's young. He's thirty eight, so he gets 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.199 it so to speak at air quotes there. But he 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.880 comes from an old school. I mean, look at his petit, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.199 look at where he comes from. He learned under Belichick, 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.440 and prior to that, he learned under Nick Saban, and 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.000 he's got a way of doing things. And it really 0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.880 feels like in giants Land if you were turned to 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:05.559 the early days of Coughlin. It's got that feel of Parcels. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.240 It's just a certain style he brings. I mean, look, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.680 when guys make mistakes, he makes him run laps during 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.080 training camp, and he makes the position coaches of that 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.000 group run with him because he says that you didn't 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.680 teach them well enough if they're making these mistakes and 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:25.480 you know, restarting practice. Look, that's an old trick. You 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.680 know a lot of guys have used it, and he 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.480 just wanted to get their attention. And even though they 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.679 lost the other night, talking to fans and more importantly 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.319 talking to people that are analysts that I respect around 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.640 the NFL, they see a noticeable difference in the Giant 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.360 So just they're better coach. They had a much better 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.560 plan going into the game. I thought Jason Garrett called 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.960 a great team. Their defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, had a good, 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.559 solid plan to go against the Pittsburgh team. They were 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.960 just punching up in class. Pittsburgh's is better than them, 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.640 and sometimes you got to resolve yourself to that. But 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.000 what I expect to see from the Giants this year 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.720 is for them to win games in their weight class. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.440 Last year, Pat Shermer, other than beating the Red Washington 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:17.000 the football Washington team twice, you know, they didn't pick 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.080 anybody off, and they lost too many games against the 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.600 same level kind of opponent. Just think of a game 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.800 last year in Chicago, and that was a winnable game. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.760 It's not like one team was that much better than 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.040 the other. The Giants found a way to lose every 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.480 one of those games, the Bears game, the Jets game, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.160 the Cardinals game. This coaching staff will win a couple 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.040 of those. When you look at the asset in which 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.600 Sequon Barkley is going forward, is that the fact that 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.520 the offensive lion has to play better or is there 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.320 something else that needs to be done within the offense 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.040 that opens up more opportunities for sa Quon. So I'm 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.680 gonna make two points. Tom I was talking to Phil 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:00.319 Sims yesterday and he had just finished watching the Giants. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.680 You know, coaches take studying them for inside the NFL 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.400 and CBS, and he actually thought that the offensive line 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.280 played better than the outside observer thinks. In fact, he 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.360 was floored by how well the rookie left tackle Andrew 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:20.160 Thomas played. Really want to? I mean, look, they had 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.559 some breakdown that Nick Gates was starting his first game 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:27.080 effort center. They had some communication issues. The bigger problem 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.200 that they have with their run game right now is 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.280 the tight ends. The tight ends were a lot of 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.240 no hitters. A lot of note show plays. You know 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.600 you're going three tight ends, you know you're you're out 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.120 numbering them, you're out flanking them, and if you choose 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.880 to not block anybody, well that's on you. So I 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.280 think some of their running game issues are tied more 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.600 into the tight ends sometimes than they get. You know, 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.760 the offensive line gets all the blame, but the tight 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.920 ends have to do a much better job. Evan Ingram 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.400 was awful the other night, and he can't be awful 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.120 for them to be good. Yeah, And I've been waiting 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.120 to see exactly where he'd wind up because you got 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.760 a tight end and what two forty runs? A forty 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:14.640 two great great speed explosion. That's a dangerous weapon in 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.720 that mix we're talking about popa voice of the New 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.080 York Giants with Tom Fair Jeff Joniak here on bears 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.640 Alt Access, brought to you by GS Energy in Chicago 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.080 Sports Radio six seventy the score. So you take his explosion, 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.920 say Quin's dual threat ability in a Daniel Jones second 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.680 year improvement where he really stood in the pocket in 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.320 that game against the Steelers, took the rush and still 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.760 managed to fire that ball down the field. If not 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.800 for that nineteen play drive inning in an interception, you know, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.000 who knows what the outcome might have been. Where is 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.680 his bounce coming from? What is his next step for 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.480 Daniel Well, you know again, talking to Phil yesterday, you know, 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.360 and I respect his opinion. He was over the moon 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.880 about watching Daniel Jones against that Steelers defense and what 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.680 he was able to do moving in the pocket, the 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:06.240 ball placement, the accuracy, the arm strength. He's like, you know, 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.640 these are things a lot of us didn't see of 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.800 him coming out of college, but we see it right now. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.800 It's pretty awesome. Look, I think Daniel Jones has a 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.240 tremendous upside. Yeah, he made a really dumb play the 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:23.280 other night. We're not kidding anybody with that. But they 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.160 got to get this run game going. And you know, 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.080 I think and Tom maybe you could comment on this. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.440 You know, sa Quan had his best season two years ago. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:38.080 And I don't think you can discount having Eli Manning 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.400 at quarterback two years ago because Eli was a master 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:47.760 of run protection, run fit, calling out protections and changing runs, 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.320 changing plays at the line. Because the play could come 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.240 in and the defense could have your out playing, Eli 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.400 picked it up right away and would change direction of 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.680 the run or change the protection, change the blocking scheme. 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.480 And Daniel Jones is still learning on the job, and 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.480 I think Barkley's feeling in some of the residual effects 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.920 to that. Well, you know, one of the think I 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.040 as a nice challenge because Matt Nagy said that he 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.120 wants Mitchell Trobisky to master coverages. And that's the similarity 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:20.640 that into young quarterback goes through David Cutcliffe, his college coaches. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.200 You know, he's an architect of great quarterbacks in the NFL. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.600 And I just think that's some of the growing pains 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.960 that these young guys go through because they have such 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.400 an opportunity to manipulate what type of talent they have 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.440 on the field. Yeah, and I think we're seeing the 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.600 maturation of Jones that way. You know, for the most part, 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.360 you know, you saw him much more secure with the ball. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.840 He's been coached really well. Remember he had Eli in 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.520 his ear all the last year too, in a good way, 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.440 not a bad way. And you know that was you know, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.440 he was the starting quarterback for twelve games, but he 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.240 had a two time Super Bowl MVP helping him out 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.040 every step of the way. Because remember Eli's known Daniel 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.679 Jones since he was a kid. Jones went to the 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.199 Manning family passing camp, so they had a relationship, so 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.960 there was nothing contentuous, and I think, I think it's 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:17.440 just baptismal by fire. It was his thirteenth start. I mean, 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.800 he's he's done some things that you know, he did 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.760 something last year that key quarterbacks have ever done. You know, 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:29.119 have you know, multiple games of three hundred more yards 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.320 passing and four or more touchdowns with no interceptions, And 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.520 he's thrown a touchdown in thirteen straight games that he started. 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.160 Only three other guys have done that to start their 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:42.720 career since nineteen seventy, so there's a lot there. I mean, look, 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:46.919 the Giants, in my opinion, are one more draft and 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.960 one more year of free agency away from being a 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:55.679 real force in the NFC. They're not there yet. Pop Papa, 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.000 our guest here at Bears All Access, final question before 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.600 you let you go, because you mentioned the lineage of 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.160 Judge and where he's been touched by, who he's been 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.320 touched by, what the organization has seen from the Parcels era. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.560 His influence of Belichick is probably no shock to people. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.480 I just saw this today that the Giants have the 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.800 most three hundred plus pound players in the league at 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:20.080 fifteen here in twenty twenty. Because Belichick likes big guys. 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.840 Barcells says, the big man's game. Is that how Joe 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.640 thinks it is that fit the franchises? You know, much 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.439 like you know, you know the Bears. It's it's a 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:32.159 defensive city. It's a defensive town. It's a team of 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.520 great running backs in middle linebackers. Is this a better 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:40.320 fit for the Giants personality and ownership? Yeah? And you know, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.760 let's not forget you. Dave Gettlman was the director of 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.120 Pro Personnel for the Giants starting in nineteen ninety nine, 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.320 and he helped with free agency. His decisions on free 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:57.159 agency or recommendations got that two thousand Giants team to 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.960 the Super Bowl. And then he was the director of 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:04.159 pro personnel, you know, in building that oh seven team 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.840 and that two eleven team, along with Jerry Rees. And 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.880 it goes back to the late grade George Young, who 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:15.080 was the longtime general manager of the Giants, And it 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.600 goes back to the same adage. You know, the game, 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.960 no matter how much window dressing it's changed you, no 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.879 matter how many new teams have come in and fast 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.680 break this fast break that if you can't win at 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.160 the point of attack, you can't win, and that means 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.520 controlling the offensive and defensive line. So big is definitely 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.160 the order of the day. Bob Bush, we could see 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.280 yeah here in Chicago, but I'll have to pick you 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.000 up on the rebound. Buddy, good luck at your broadcast, 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.200 Have fun and thanks for taking the time you got guys. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.680 Stay safe.

Tom from Bob Pop up in 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.600 there a long time so he knows where as Matt 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.480 Naggie likes you know, he knows where all the bones 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.679 are barried. Yeah, he dies. He's been a part of 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.480 that organization for a long time. Yeah. And then Matt 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.960 Naggie with very good things to say about Joe Judge 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.080 and said that they're playing fast, so the Bears have 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.720 to play fast Sunday. Oh yeah, I mean you could 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.439 see his attitude is is involved in this team. He 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.560 wants them to play fast, wants them play hard. But 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.760 it's good all how, It's all gonna be about how 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.520 they rebound in the week two.
