Now 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.479 from Hallis Hall, here's the Voice of the Bears w 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.960 BBMS Jeff Joniac and a pleasant, good evening everybody, and 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.320 welcome at a PANC Studios here at Hallis On. Welcome 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.239 to another edition of The Bears Coaches Show with Head 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.840 Coach Matt Naggie. Jeff Jonyak with you into eight o'clock tonight, 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.880 also joined by defensive coordinator Chuck Pogano coming up later 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.680 in the program. Good evening, How are you, Jeff? I 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.120 hear you. You emptied the tank today up at Hollis Hall. 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.920 I did, Yeah, you have to tank. That's how almost 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.680 a thirty minute news conference, that's what they said. You know, Hey, 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.560 it's a let everybody know kind of where we're at. 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.040 I think it's only fair and that's that's how it 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.280 went before we get into the details. What makes you 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.760 so willing to engage at that depth and that level, 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.119 And you have been this way your whole time here 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.520 with the Bears because it's it can be a tenuous process, 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.800 it could be frustrating at times for both parties involved, 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.440 media and you as a head coach, But you seem 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.039 to be very open about making sure you get your 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.080 point across. And maybe it's for future situations that come 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.640 up in years to come, situational down and distance, decision 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.280 making and so forth. Right, Well, I believe in honesty. 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.880 I believe in open communication. I believe that's how it 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.120 should be. I know there's all everywhere you go, there's 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.240 going to be criticism. If you can't accept that, then 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.560 you're you're not made for this position. And I can 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.920 accept it. But at the same time, we're allowed to 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.160 have stances on what we believe and and and how 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.320 we believe. Have conviction, Right, we talk about with our 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.920 with our players and in particular our quarterback with Mitch 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.840 make conviction throw as well. I'm making fiction statements. I 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:05.200 believe that, and um that's yeah, I'm being myself. I'm 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.520 not changing for anybody that's who I am, that's why 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.560 I'm here. And so it's as simple as that. I 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.840 respect every everybody's uh uh, you know, whatever they have 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.640 to say or opinion, that's more than fine. But I 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.880 think our team feels that they understand that I want 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.960 that from our team, and just that's just the way 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.679 it's going. Well. The other thing, and you may or 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.840 may not admit this, but in many cases you're talking 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.160 directly to the locker room every time you take the microphone. Sure, yeah, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.400 you feel that's the case, because if you start changing 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.360 messages in there versus out here, and some things are 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.320 going to remain private behind closed doors. There's certain messages 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.200 you want just for your your player's ears. But I 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.919 think the public and maybe to a lesser extent, the 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.760 media forget that sometimes, right and and there is you 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.840 you have to be able to protect UM for the 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.839 for the you know, the sportsmanship part of the game, 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.640 for your own players, just you know, so there's no 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.120 advantages given away for whatever reason. So you've got to 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.720 be able to explain as much as you can to 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.799 UM the outsiders that aren't necessarily into building each day, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.200 but also let your players know that this is how 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.920 you feel, and whenever you when you're honest and you 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.440 talk to people and you and you you're real about 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.760 everything that you say, it's really not that hard because 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.520 you're saying the same thing. It's just how much are 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.600 you saying? So, without belaboring any of the topics of 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.480 discussion of all the questions you heard last night, yesterday 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.120 after the loss, and then your thirty minute news conference today, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.280 if you could kind of capsualize, because we don't have 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.560 time to do at all, just what types of questions 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.040 do you feel that you needed to explain yourself more 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.520 so than others. Everyone wants to know in regards to 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.840 the goal to ghost stuff with not scoring and the 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.720 obviously at the end of the game with the you know, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:48.160 with the QB neil. So it's for me again. I 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.200 could go on and on about that. I told I told, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.280 I told you, and I told everybody how I feel. 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.440 And that's that's not going to change. So um, the 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.240 fact the matter is either make to field goal or 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.920 you don't. That's where we were and I wouldn't change 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.760 it again. Where is the burden of a three game 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.080 losing streak, because in this league that's a magic number 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.800 because of the length of the season. It is what 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.160 it is. Three game losing streaks, people start to get 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:13.000 a little nuts. Yeah, yeah, because every week that goes by, it's, uh, 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.080 you get closer and closer to the end of the season. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.080 And these games all matter, every one of them. So, um, 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.160 you know three and three, you're you're in a position 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.800 right now where the only thing that you can possibly 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.200 do is beat Philadelphia. You can't win two games by 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.280 winning one. You gotta win the first one. And we've 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.080 been truly tested in a lot of different ways. Uh, 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.599 this team has. And so we'll see our We'll see 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.880 how we respond, what our characters like, how guys are 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.960 in practice. I already know how they're going to be. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.600 So it's just a matter of us pulling together. The 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.279 interesting thing because also the way the division's playing, you 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.000 can't you know, we're all human though it's players too. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.840 They if if the losses their mounting as they are 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.400 the last three and you start looking at everybody else, 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.039 that that could be a tricky thing for you to 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.760 negotiate as a coach with your team, right right, Yeah, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.120 And I mean you look at a team like the 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:03.800 Colts last year. You have a team that was one 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.520 in five and ended up making the playoffs, and a 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.560 what a way to go into the playoffs on a high. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.400 But uh we ran five Dallas, right, sure, you know. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.280 So the odds get more and more difficult every week 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.160 that goes by. But I really think we're in Our 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.240 players are at a point right now where it's just 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.000 we don't need to sit here and talk about what 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.720 we want to do or how we got to do it. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.600 I think we just need to get out there and 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.800 just play ball, have a couple breaks for us, you know, 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.200 and then once you get that one win. I've been 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.719 a part of it, You get that first win, and 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.680 the second win comes in a third win, and you 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.279 start getting that swag back. I hear it, hear it 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.600 last night in the locker room, my interviews after the game, 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.840 hear it from you almost every day. Everybody does about 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.320 sticking together. You know these guys better than we do, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.320 and the character in the room and so forth. Why 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.160 does it need to be talked about all the time. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.560 I guess the stick together part well, because you know, yeah, 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.719 because it's adversity. So in life and general like, bad 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.640 stuff happens and you don't you know, and for us, 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.560 bad stuff happening is losing a game, and then that 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.880 happens three times in a row, people start searching, and 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.359 then everybody wants to go ahead and point the finger. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.520 A lot of people do, right, well, our team doesn't 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.480 do that. Our team they talk about our players talk 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.440 about point to thumb right and and point to yourself 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.400 and say, hey, what can I do better? And a 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.200 lot of that's cliche, but really, when when the players 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.800 follow through with that, and the coaches follow through with that, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.279 and they realize we're all in this thing together and 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.240 just trust the process, it'll it'll and don't change, don't 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.760 get crazy and start changing and doing anything there. Just 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.599 stick with it and the wind will come. All right, 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.200 let's let's start talking fun stuff. The excess and because 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:47.120 the offense really did play very representative of many games 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.279 last season where the ball was touched by multiple targets, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.039 I think eight or nine. In the passing game, five 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.120 different guys ran the ball, Mitch picked up a first 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.400 down with his legs. Three eighty eight guys of offense 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.280 own the clock a lot of snaps. So is that 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.440 a great place to build from? Now? It is? And 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.960 that when you're going through these rough patches, you got 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.359 to pull on the good stuff. And that's what I 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.039 think our coaches have done a good job of doing 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.280 is making sure that we that we understand that we 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.960 got better in a lot of different areas. We controlled 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.640 the football. Um, we made a lot of plays when 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.880 we needed to we made we missed a lot. We 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.120 missed some plays in goal to go where if if 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.440 we shoot out of out of those four possessions goal 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.840 to go, if you get two touchdowns, right, not even four, 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.400 you get two touchdowns, you're in great shape. Um, so 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.680 we're we're We're just we got to match it up. 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.320 It's the problem. The problem before was we weren't getting 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.080 to the We were number one in the NFL and 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.480 goal to go eight for eight, number one going into yesterday. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.240 The problem was we weren't getting there. We were twenty 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.760 ninth and getting there yesterday. We get there a lot 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.680 and we don't. We don't produce. So some is some 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.000 of it a function of just not being there enough 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.360 to get used to that kind of performance. And yet 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.320 thirty nine snaps in the red zone prior to yesterday. Yeah, crazy, 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.520 it's crazy. So there's a little bit of all that 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.680 going on, and you know, we gotta it'll drive us 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.640 now to make sure that when we do get down there, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.480 we execute better. That's right up your alley to come 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.720 up with The Bears Coaches Show with head coach Matt 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.240 Maggie and w bbm's Jeff Joniac continues, snap takes, some turns, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.200 give it a Montgomery. Montgomery to his right to the 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:24.920 end zone for the touchdown. Touchdown, Bears first of the day, 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:29.560 and that was a purpose punch by Matt Maggie predominantly 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.920 running the ball from the twenty five into the end zone. 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.760 Had a four yard run for David and Montgomery. Bears 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.520 half the lead. Fifteen seven. Welcome back to the Bears 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.960 Coaches Show, brought to you by Whipley Financial Advisors, a 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.840 proud partner of the Chicago Bears. Here from HALISAU at 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.079 P ANDC Studios, Jeff Joniac and Matt and Maggie heard 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.600 the touchdown call of David Montgomery. Having been in Iowa 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.520 State grad and I've talked about it enough that everybody 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.440 knows that I watched so many of his games last 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.080 year and I felt he's a really good inside the five, back, 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.200 inside the red zone, back I don't know how you 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.880 evaluated him in that regard, but I think he does 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.160 have a nose for the end zone if you do 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.400 get down there a lot. And you know, things really 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.439 blacked well yesterday for him. Yeah, it was. It was 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.480 fun to see him get going. And that's the type 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:12.920 of guy that he is. You know, he gets the 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:17.120 ball and as many backs, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and the 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.960 more touches you get, the better you are. So you 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.480 saw that yesterday. He broke that nice long run and 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.000 then had that touchdown run there to start the third. Um. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.520 That's who he is. We appreciate how hard he works. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:27.959 And then the lineman did a heck of a job 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.160 opening the wholes for him. I formation was back in 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.360 vogue and it is a part of the West Coast 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.000 offense and you pull out chapters of it when you 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.520 need it. And that was always you know when you 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.640 got here. It's like you you work with what you 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.280 have and then you make it work. That's your mindset 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.960 as an offensive coach and as an offensive play caller 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.080 and whatnot. So it worked yesterday, didn't it? Why was 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.760 it working so well against that Charger defense, especially J 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.160 P Holtz leading the way in those icehole blacks. Yeah, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.240 he did a great job. And uh, you know, with 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.360 Lucas coming in and playing tight end a little bit, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.200 he paved the way. So all in all, I just 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.840 really liked the way the offensive line approach. Their mindset 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.120 yesterday was really sharp. They were focused in on the 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.320 task that we challenged them on is getting better in 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.920 the run game. They showed it yesterday and hopefully they 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.480 they got to trust from me and seeing that I'm 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.520 calling more than seven runs in a game. But we'll, 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.520 you know, we'll, we'll feed off of that. We'll understand 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.440 that I as as we said you know earlier today, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.319 you know, eight point six yards per play or per 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.160 rush in that formation. It's pretty good. So we'll we'll, 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.040 we'll continue to grow and we'll see where it takes us. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.680 Could you not rule out anything at this point, including 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.440 that becoming potentially a part of what you're trying to 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.679 get as the philosophy and the identity of a team 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.240 is to put it on the shoulders of your offensive lineman. 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.800 And a secondary question of that, did they ask you 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.080 for it? Yeah? They were. They We were all in 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.920 it together and knowing that hey, it's we need to 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.520 be better in the run game. We can't be so 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.719 one dimensional. And it's it's we just all got to 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.040 do our jobs better, coaches and players. Um. And so 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.600 I don't know where it'll end up taking us without 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.600 giving away too much, you know, but there's a lot 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.240 of there was a lot of good there. Um. But 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:13.800 at the same time, we all we have a lot 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.079 of other good players as well that can that are 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.160 off the field in that formation. So you just it's 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.720 a balance when when's too much, when's not enough, and 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.680 how do you mesh it together so that it makes 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.640 it advantageous to the offense and hard for the defense. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.040 All Right, let's talk Mitch. Uh. Other than those two turnovers, 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.400 obviously he'd like both of them back. He explained him 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.360 in detail about how it all went down. He was 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.400 very forthright about it. Uh. There were steps taken in 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.960 the positive direction. As you said, there were plenty of 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.160 conviction throws, and there were explosives that you can muscle 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.560 build on. There were he made some uh, he made 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.240 some some really good throws in that game yesterday. Uh. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.880 And and again it's it's always, uh, it's never as 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:55.719 good as you think it is. And it's never as 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.400 bad as you think it is. That that is an 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.360 old adage that always holds up in you saw throws 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.720 that he made in the middle of the field. Footwork 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.240 was much better, nice rhythm with his feet when he 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.640 made strong throws. It just comes down. You know, everyone 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.840 remembers the intercept because their turnovers and they're crucial. They're critical, 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.400 you know, and he knows that. So we're just trying 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.920 to get him to the point of when, hey, in 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.960 that situation, young quarterback, in that situation, just dump it 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.520 down to to you know, to the wide receiver there, 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.280 second and eight and he'll learn from that. I promise 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.000 you who will. And that's that. In the fumble, he said, 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.600 two hands on the ball. Okay, that sounds easy. Yeah, 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.520 it's not so easy when you're under hate. Yeah. There's 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.440 a lot of big boys in their flying around doing 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.920 different things, and that was one that just ended up 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.319 getting them. Anthony Miller he wants to be a major 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.240 part of this. Was that another giant step in the 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.120 right direction for Anthony. It was he brings a lot 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.640 of energy, passion to the game. He always knows and 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.959 feels he's gonna win everyone on one battle I love 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.080 that about him. It's just a matter of hone in 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.480 his details within the system, and he's done that. He's 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.480 he's proving that. And that's credit to Mike Ferry for 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.600 really pushing those guys. And I really love the way 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.320 those wide receivers are playing all r let's flip it 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.800 over to the defensive side of the ball. They got 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.440 him some rest forty two snaps and other than a 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.920 couple of big plays obviously on the one scoring guy 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.640 the shot going drive, but against the Hall of Fame 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.320 quarterback like that, you know you're gonna get something like that. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.920 It almost felt a little bit like Week one. Guys 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.920 had Aaron Rodgers and those guys back on their heels, boom, 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.840 one big play. Right, That's how it is. It is, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.040 it really is. And you look at they had ten 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.680 ten drives yesterday the Chargers did. And of those ten drives, 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.440 they only had one drive that was more than four plays. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.160 There was a bunch of three and outs, they had 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.040 a four team play drive, uh you know where they 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.240 ended up getting that field goal to start to third 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.560 and then they also they had that quick strike with 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.160 the four play touchdown with the big play. So but 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.480 all in all, I really liked the way our defense played. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.920 Um they they I thought they got it back from 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.640 the previous two weeks. So that combination, along with our offense, 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.000 we didn't get to win, but we felt like we 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:09.920 got we improved. No more of the Bears Coaches Show 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.440 with head coach Matt Nagee on Newswadio seven eighty and 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:18.480 one oh five point nine FM WBBM.

Did you have fun call and 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.360 plays again yesterday I did. Yeah, And it's always a 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.160 lot better when you're getting first downs. I didn't have 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.360 fun here in the uh in the in the red 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.400 zone just because we weren't. You know that that's who 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.040 we are. We know we can be better than that. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.720 Uh And so I'm excited to get back at it 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.480 with our guys. I know they're going to be hungry 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.960 and want to get back down in that red zone 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.480 and that goal to go against so that we can 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.520 strike a ton of attention paid to it every practice week, right, 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.040 I mean, you guys put a lot of time in it, 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.320 so that that's that's where the money's made. The green 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.840 zone and some paw the red zone. Yeah, just getting 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.880 closed when when you're down there, especially after a sudden 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.640 change a turnover, you gotta get a touchdown. That's as 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.560 simple as that. We understand that we were not oblivious 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.880 to it. We're not we don't want field goals. That's 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:39.400 not what we're shooting for. H and so touchdown's not 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.840 field goals. All right back to the defensive minute, because 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.400 in particular, I felt this was going to be a 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.640 big game. On the linebackers. You could say every game. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.080 But just because of the versatility that they have there 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.320 with Austin Eckler for one, and Rivers being very content 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.200 to throw the ball to one area and expect somebody 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.840 to be there, did they step up? I thought real 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:02.240 Quin played a very outwardly emotional game. Rocom was flying around. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.640 That was so good to see. Danny was moving around 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.920 really well too, so that that's such an intergral part 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.800 of our defense, being able to let our guys up 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.880 front break down the line of scrimmage and then they 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.440 can fly around second level and make tackles and do 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.120 different things. And you just really felt it. You saw it. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.640 Some of that too, Jeff, as you know, goes to 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.320 the fact that the offense was able to keep the 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.480 defense rested. The defense isn't out there for seventy eighty plays, 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.960 they're out there for half of that, so that that's 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.400 a that's a recipe for us to to understand. And 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.880 I just really liked the way that whole defense in general, 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:36.920 that they played really fast. They did their part two 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.440 and they I mean five straight third down and outs, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.120 you know, so he had had really difficult time trying 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.120 to convert on third down that the Chargers did, so 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.000 that that is really what this defense is all about. 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.360 They were one of the best in the league last 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.880 year at it, so that started to add up quite 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.560 a bit. Um and then the play of the special 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.760 team's unit overall, you know, other than Eddie, you know, 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.240 in terms of what happened in there, but you know, 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.480 he eat made a comment after the game. Is it 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.280 something that you will have to think about as a 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.320 coach too? And with Chris Tabreys, I gotta beat the 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.880 wind because the wind is always play tricks with any 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.320 kids that comes in here. Yeah, No, that's that's certainly 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.000 a part of it. They know that, and that's why 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.520 they go down to the field and practice as well, 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.000 to get that practice in there and understand the way 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.879 that wind swirls. Um. You know, as far as the 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.280 confidence goes with where we're at as a team and 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.359 as a as a family, we we uh, none of 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.880 that has wavered out. All with Eddie, he's a great 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:34.920 kid that that is going to nail the next one 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.479 we get. Let's talk Eagles a playoff rematch with your 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:42.600 buddy Doug Peterson. Look at the grinner Eddy All in 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.720 the family here, right, Yeah, yeah, no, family, it's it's 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.120 a they're coming off a big win on the road 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.800 in Buffalo. Um, you know, running the ball a lot 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.440 they did, and uh so it's it'll be a that's 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.639 always a difficult place to play in Lincoln Financial Field 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.080 is always a challenge. They'll be loud and they of 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.159 their team and but no, they gotta they gotta right now. Um, 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.640 you know, Wentz is playing really well in the red 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.880 zone and on third down he's playing really well. Uh 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.000 And you know with de Sean Jackson being out the 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.000 last couple of times, our last couple of games, Uh, 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.720 you can see you know, al Sean and angle aar 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.320 and their old line is they got their tight ends back. 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.080 So they're I mean, they're just they're well round and 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.320 Doug does a great job on offense. Defensively, they fly around, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.199 you know, Fletcher Cox on the inside, Brandon Graham on 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.800 the outside there on the edge. Uh that they were 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.600 they're a handful their backers move around pretty good. And 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:35.800 so it's gonna be a big challenge on the road. 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.840 We gotta be sharp and be really focused in with 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.280 that devil tight end package that they have. It's it's 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.400 a go to, isn't it. With those two guys. It is, yeah, 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.320 they they have. It's a nice combo that they have 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.719 in regards to a U tight end in ERTs and 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.520
