Jeff jonnyak 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:07.840 with you into eight o'clock tonight here on news Radio 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.399 one h five nine WBBM. Coach Nagie with us until 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:12.559 the bottom of the hour and then joined by Special 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:17.080 Teams Coordinator Chris Tabor Matt rough to say the least 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:20.120 Sunday in Cleveland, the Browns big winners by twenty over 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.360 your Bears. How do you process this all? I know 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.880 it's there's nothing easy about it. You've been around this 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.360 block before, so I think you lean on your past 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.600 and you look forward to the future here. Yeah, that's 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:33.839 that's what we have to do. And you know, you 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.640 get through a game like that and you really you 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.840 really dive into the film and you look at how 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.120 it got to that point. And that's what we've done 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.800 all day to day and I'm going to continue to 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.000 do is figure out what we can do better and 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.519 get the solutions and so but you know, when it 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.840 was as bad as it was yesterday and it to be, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.880 it gets frustrating and we understand that. But the beauty 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.600 of our players, the beauty of our coaches is that 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.279 we've we've we know that we have each other's backs, 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:06.880 and we're going to work hard to get back on 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.960 track against a division opponent at home against Detroit this week. So, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.480 as you're pouring over the tape, are there any moments 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.720 or like what are you doing? Kind of moments or 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.240 I mean things that really you're scratching on your paper 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.040 like okay, this, this is this is not what we 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.240 intended to happen here, or you know, how do you 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.080 how do you from from the late person that doesn't 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.920 watch tape the way a coach does, in your position 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.640 and your experience, how would you explain to Yeah, I 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.400 wouldn't say there's any wow moments or moments. It was 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.200 just more of a collection of different times throughout the 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.000 game just being off. And what happens is is, you know, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.800 for instance, if you have the first third and two 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.920 of the game and we don't convert that, we take 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.240 a field goal, Uh, we get a couple stops on 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.720 defense on fourth down, and then we end up having 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.240 at some point in a game there we have that 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.600 third and one and we have a false start um 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.960 just little simple things that we can't continue to just 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.000 defeat ourselves. We got to make the opponent to it. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.119 And now there was also times in that game where 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.480 the opponent did do that. That's a good Cleveland defense 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.120 and a good football team and we got to give 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.200 them credit to But we feel like we could have 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.639 definitely uh coached and played better. And you know that 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.120 that's probably the biggest thing that that we noticed. You'd 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.360 like to think every game plan has answers to every 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.560 question because of what the other guy is doing, and 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.000 you adapt. You also, you know, evaluate what's going on, 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.440 you make adjustments. Um, how did that process work yesterday 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.880 based on what you thought they might do and then 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.000 what they did. Yeah, probably the biggest thing was, you know, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.639 for them, just just somewhat understanding what their game plan 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.160 was for justin and what they were going to do, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.400 and then us being able to, you know, try to 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.360 take advantage of, like you said, adapting to doing some 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.000 different schemes, which is what we did. They're really big picture. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.720 There was just one or two things that they did 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.919 and that we had to go ahead and change how 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.640 we were going to try to attack them, and without 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.639 getting into a whole lot of scheme but I think 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.440 you know the other part of this too is we 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.280 just got to be able to get more plays by 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.080 getting more first downs that we don't have seventeen plays 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.080 in the first half of you know, forty six plays 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.840 for the entire game, and by getting more first downs, 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.440 I can keep our defense off the field and then 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.880 they're not on the field as long. So just some 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.000 little things here there that we're going to be looking 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.040 at here these next couple of days before we start prepping. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.000 I guess the biggest outcry from analysts and fans, which 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.440 you know is obviously secondary to what you have to 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.880 worry about in your own building, but they had this 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.880 image in their mind of what they saw in justin 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.440 fields in preseason and at Ohio State, what he's good at, 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:55.520 but not a lot of that was apparently put on 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.600 put on display. How do you answer that one? Yeah, no, Well, 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.680 that mean it's completely real and we all we all 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.360 have great expectations, and you know, we've seen what he 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.080 what he's done in college, we've seen what he's done 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.160 in the preseason, and we also know that it's not 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.960 going to be like that every play, every snap. But 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.640 at the same point in time, Uh, you know, to 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.640 to come out of that game like we did statistically. Um, 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.839 that's the part there that we know it is probably 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.240 the biggest issue is just okay, Um, that's obviously not 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.279 close to where we want to be. And you want 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.640 to be able to make sure that when he's out there, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.640 he's able to play his game and not get sacked 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.159 nine times. And but but at the same point in time, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.320 look at all those sacks and see why they happen 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.200 and and learn from that. And I think that's what 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.360 Justin's greatest strength is is being able to accept criticism 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.599 when he needs to. But he's also a great leader, 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.160 and uh, and I think he'll he'll really do well 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.320 with that and improve. I know you spoken to him 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.760 and you'll get him in the building tomorrow. And uh, 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.039 what type of guy is he in terms of that 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.600 to your knowledge so far, what you've learned, I mean, 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.560 does he speak his mind to you or is he 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:06.279 more of a listener? Because you know, I'm listening to 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.320 him in his news conference and we had him on 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.840 the radio for a short time and just this uh, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.080 this quiet resilience, like you know, like he want another 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.320 bite at the apple right away. He would like to 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.880 have probably played a game an hour later to prove that, 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.640 you know what I got this. That's who he is 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.560 and that's what we all love about him. Again, during 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.880 the game, you know, with the way that game was 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.239 going and some of the struggles we were having, probably 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.359 one of the most impressive parts of it all was 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.880 his resiliency and his positivity on the sideline. And it 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.240 can be easy to get frustrated. He never did that, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.960 and he just worried about the next snap, and to 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.880 have that mentality is going to be critical for his 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.640 success moving forward. All right, So you've had many rookies 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.880 in your coaching career, and you know, like he said, 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.520 I'm not used to this. A lot of these college guys, 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.240 regardless of his, are not used to what they encounter, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.120 and it is hard to win one game, let alone 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.240 one snap in the National Football League. So what is 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.200 your experience with young guys and how you approach that. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.119 The biggest thing is being able to have them understand that, 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.320 you know, we all do this thing together. And when 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.800 when I say that, you know, not not just as 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.680 an offense, but but really all three phases. But we 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.479 all pick each other up. And that's the beauty of 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.320 this sport is that you have eleven players on one 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.000 side of the ball, and if ten of the eleven 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.760 are good and one's not, and just struggles, that can 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.360 affect a play. And so we all got to understand 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.280 and that could be that could be a coach too, right, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:42.960 that could be a play call, It could be a 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.880 lot of different things. But you all got to be 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.480 on the same path. And when you do that, a 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.440 lot of good things can happen. And so when we 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.480 have what happened yes yesterday, he'll understand that he's going 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.640 to have a lot more chances. And if it would 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.200 have been flipped the other way and it was the 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.599 best game in the history of football, we would have 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.760 had to temperate and understand that's not going to happen either. 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:07.120 So we gotta just stay nice and and focused on 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.040 Detroit this coming week, and I think he'll do that. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.520 Chomped it on back Mayfield, understand our take space, setting 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.800 up pressure, coming back, Chase it down, Mayfield head down up, 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.360 had a big one, hot fork down. Welcome back to 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.360 the Bears Coaches Show, brought to you by a Whippley 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.120 CPAs and Consultants, A proud partner with the Chicago Bears. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.680 Learn more at whippley dot com. Just heard one of 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.480 clail Max Sacks leave left the game shortly for a 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.920 second quarter with a sore foot, came back to play. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.960 That says a lot right there, Matt Naggi. Yeah, he 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.280 really did a good job. And you know, I think 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.080 trying to create pressure and the last couple of games 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.960 you really have felt him and again for him to 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.880 be able to come back in the game and shows 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.800 that what his commitment is to his defense, and he's 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.560 done a really good job and we need to keep 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.760 that going moving forward. And the same story for Robert 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.600 Quinn and really the front seven. You know, despite whatever 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:07.120 happened offensively and the inability to keep going in that direction, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.200 as anemic as it was, it was a seven point 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.000 game in the second half, and you have to give 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.480 it to the defense as a reason why. And it 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.200 really was. I mean you look at the start of 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.960 the fourth quarter, and so I think that's a valid 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.840 point for these guys as they played a lot of 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.280 snaps and they were able to make big stops on 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.640 fourth down. So we want to continue to build off 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.720 of that, and that's what we got to do. According 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.959 to Pro Football Focus, eighteen pressures, six sacks, and the 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.480 Browns had one point three yards before contact, which is 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.600 not something those running backs are used to. So there 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.760 was penetration from your guys up front. I want to 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.440 focus a little bit here on the less known guys 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.040 like Kiris Tonga, who's starting to get more snaps, Angelo Blackson, 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.199 and the return of Mario Edwards Junior. How did you 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.719 think that impacted all that math right there just throughout. Yeah. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.199 I like the way they played. I think Tonga is 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.040 continuing to grow. Blacksman has been a great valuable addition 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.920 to this defense. Of Mario Edwards getting him back. He 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.640 had a great sack one on one, beating at the 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.920 offensive about guard, and so all of those guys bringing 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.559 presence to that defensive line along with Galau and our team. 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.400 And so when you put those guys out there, that's 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.200 been a depth strength of ours and yesterday you got 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:25.480 to see a little bit of that. I thought it 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.760 was impressive listening to why I interviewed Jalen Johnson before 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.640 the game last week and brought up ob J and that, yeah, 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.559 he'd been following him throughout the offseason, gauging where he 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.520 was at medically and just checking in on him, so 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.480 to speak. The way you do that, I guess for 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.600 the young folks these days is social media and what's 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.920 being said. But he was already investigating that knowing at 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.880 some point he's going to face him here in the 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.240 first quarter of the season. So you traveled him yesterday. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.840 That was the plan for Sean to say. Wherever he went, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.000 that's where where Jayleen went for the most part, So 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.000 that was an interest interesting a decision there, but also 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.920 a tip to the cap for the guys, who is 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.760 your CB one right now? Yeah, No, he's done a 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.640 great job. I think he's had a really good start 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.839 to the season. And when you're able to have a 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.320 guy like that that can move around and travel if 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.160 you need to, or play zone if you need to, 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.400 it's a benefit. And I think he's got to continue 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.160 to keep growing as a leader as a player, and 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.079 he definitely puts in the extra extra work after practice two, 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.079 which is very all right. Let's let's go back to 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.000 the offense and what you've had to say to the 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.240 media earlier this morning that you're going to be looking 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.760 at things as as losses like this because of how 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.880 it transpired with the offense. You know, it's it's time 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.679 for self analysis and where are you at on that 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.920 and what have you arrived at exactly what I said, 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.080 which is you know, really, Jeff, at a point where 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.960 you just look at, okay, the three games, where we're at, 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.679 and just the identity is something that you always want 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.160 to talk about and figure out as soon as you can, 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.640 the soon or the better. And then you get into 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:04.560 the the reasons asked to the way a certain play went. Um, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.160 you know, when you called it, how you called it, 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.880 how was it executed, and all that, all that kind 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.839 of stuff. So we'll get together as a staff and 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.800 we'll talk through where we think we can improve in 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.280 every area. And you know, that's that's where I think 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:24.880 the communication part, the honesty, this huge between all of 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.680 us players and coaches, coaches and coaches, players and players 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.839 and to come up with solutions ultimately. You know, over 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.480 the time you've been calling plays, do you feel ever 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.960 that you know, and I've talked to many offensive coordinators 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.640 about this, you feel good, But there's always in the 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.920 back of your mind something that you know, you're always 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.040 worried about. When you put together that game plan, and 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:51.080 with justin being the first time starter in this particular situation, 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.839 in a very difficult place to play, did you have 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.559 any of that worry in the back of your mind. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.640 You're a positive guy, but I mean, we're all human. Well, no, 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.080 I would say, I wouldn't use the word worry, Jeff. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.480 But what I would say is like, there's the unknown, right, 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.480 So as you go through this, you got to figure out, Okay, 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.800 what are some things that you're going to do well 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.760 as an offense with him a quarterback, what are some 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.839 plays that he likes? So we know that going into it. 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.439 As we create the game plan it's built around him, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.920 then you're going to have to have some adjustments based 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.880 off of what the defense gives you and whatever that is. Yesterday, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.640 what I felt like was our biggest deal was again 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:30.200 that word rhythm. We just unlike LA. We were in LA. 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.480 We were in a rhythm. We were getting first downs, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.640 we were moving the ball, we were in a rhythm. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.280 Yesterday we never got in that rhythm. You know, to 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.640 have ten plays before five minutes to go in the 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.839 second quarter, seventeen total plays, you just you know, you 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.440 don't get in a rhythm. So we got to figure 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.559 out ways to get first down, to get in a rhythm, 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.160 and then you have more experience. And when I say that, 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:54.559 Justin will have more experience having more plays. And we 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.839 just never got to that point yesterday. And again, like 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.559 I said yesterday, that starts and ends with me steps 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.280 back on third down for Mayfield, big pressure by Quinn. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.720 They get to the quarterback again and he down, he goes, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.199 Robert Quinn racing the edge. Mario Edwards Junior in there 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.439 as well. Select single game Bears tickets are available.

Visit Chicago Bears dot com slash tickets for 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.320 more information. Final segment of the Bears head coach Matt Neeggie. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.360 Let's talk Robert Quinn just heard the sack there. He's 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.400 starting to put things back to back and really looks explosive. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.320 Had his best game. Some analysis has him at six 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.839 pressures and two sacks yesterday and with heen Quinn now, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.720 excuse me, He and Max six combined sacks so far 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.040 this season through the first three weeks of the season, 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:46.319 So it looks like a different player circuit to twenty 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.120 one here. You agree, Yeah, without a doubt. And I 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.240 feel that too. I think Robert's done a great job. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.079 He played a lot of snaps yesterday and you know, 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.959 he did a really good job of being able to 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.000 come in and he felt his presence and his motor. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.319 He's doing a good job in the run game. Uh. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.400 He had you know, like you said and talked about 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.840 having uh, you know, a sack one and a half 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.439 sacks and had a couple of others that he just missed. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.920 So we need that to keep going. Him. Him and 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.360 Khalil on the edges is very very important along with 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.920 that defensive line. And how about to play overall in 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.720 terms of that running game, because boy is it it's dynamic, 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:27.520 just like you said, and watching I was extremely impressed 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:32.400 with the way Kareem Hunt runs the football with as 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.800 Sean Desai indicated a lot of anger and violence and 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.160 you know him better than we do. Boy that that 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.720 that guy is something else. But in terms of how 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.720 you in that position with the defense out of the 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.360 field for forty minutes, I mean, that's that's gonna wear 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.840 it down, you know, playing guys like that Chubb In 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.600 and Kareem Hunt, Yeah, they're built for that. Four minutem 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.480 when they have the lead, they're just getting their big 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.120 tight ends and they run the ball right at you 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.040 with their counter roa schemes and their downhill rubs, and 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.520 so I think, you know, we got in a situation 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.720 where the defense was able to play the way they 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.080 played for three three, three and a half quarters, and 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.600 then you get into that four minute against that offense. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.040 It's difficult for any defense. So, uh, you know, we 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.160 just got to continue to just stay sharp with or 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.560 fundamental than our tackling. You know, we had the touchdown 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.000 run that he had, We just had a couple of 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.200 mis tackles on that and our guys need to be 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.560 better there, but they will. And I think overall just 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.720 understanding being able to get off the field as much 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.520 as you can as soon as we can. You're not 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.320 prepared to name a quarterback just yet. We cast to 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.080 work itself out some injury concerns and just see where 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.960 everything goes. But in terms of what Justin learned about 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.920 where pass rush comes from, where you know how the 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.960 protections are, and what he can do to help alleviate 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.320 some of that, was this going to grad school on Sunday, Yeah, 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.320 it was I think there's a lot of different ways 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:56.840 that there's a lot of things that he's going to 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.920 learn from that we're going to learn from, and it'll 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.600 it'll help make him us better. Uh that's where if 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.160 you if you use this thing the right way and 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.680 you use what happened as an experience, which you know, 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.200 again talking to Justin, he's already doing and I think 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.720 that's a big strength of his is to be able 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.640 to see the positives or at least take the negatives 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.200 in turn them into positives. So that's the only thing 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.800 we can do that that's how he's wired. And there 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.840 we'll do that. How do you feel about the old 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.280 line right now? Yeah, well, you know, I have a 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.040 lot of a lot of trust in them, and they 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.400 had you know, it was one of those games yesterday 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.840 where um, you know, they got us a couple of 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.160 time on the edge and a couple of times up 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:38.760 the middle. But again, the belief that we have and 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.760 Coach Woncasto and Donnie and that these players pulling together, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.960 these guys they know that they can play better and 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.400 they will play better. And that's why we're fortunate here 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:50.440 to be able to get a chance to do it 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.960 against Detroit Lions. All right, let's start talking about the 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.800 Lions division opponent, and that's I think you've alluded to it. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.960 I think it's a great place in the schedule to 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.320 get a division opponent right here. And now, yeah, you 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.040 know they're coming off that tough loss there to the 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.159 Ravens on that six to six yard field goal, and 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.000 but there there, they know it's a division game too. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.399 They get to come to Soldier Field and it's going 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.920 to be important for us to start fast. And we 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.879 always talk every year about winning your home games and 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.200 winning all your division games, and if you do that, 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.320 a lot of good digits will happen. So this will 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.560 be our second home game and it will be our 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.280 first division game and very important for us to get 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.520 off to a fast start. A lot of familiarity obviously 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.200 with Jared Goff, So what is he doing there? That 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.040 looks a little different than he did in LA And 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.760 you know, there hasn't been much of a consistent run 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.160 game for the Lions, but it looks like that Williams 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.440 and Swift have come together and that could be a 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.200 due you're gonna have to shut down. Yeah, that's something 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:46.639 that I know they want to hang their hat on 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.160 with their scheme and then with those players and Jared 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.760 Goff obviously coming over from from the Rams, and some 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.080 of the play action stuff and the movements that they 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.760 did and the nakeds and bootlegs. So we'll have to 0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.440 be aware for that. We'll get onto the tape and 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.680 see really what they're all about. But again, they're a 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.919 strappy team that's gonna fight hard and play. They've had 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.000 some dude games here and we're going to have our 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.840 hands full. We're essentially looking at a potential New Orleans 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.080 style defense given the Aaron Glenn is there. Yeah, you know, 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.480 coach Glenn has done a great job when he is 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.280 in New Orleans and now bring it to Detroit. You 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.040 can see a little bit of a flavor there with that, 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.240 and so, you know, I got a lot of respect 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.040 for him. I think he's done a great job in 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.119 the coaching world and he's doing a good job there 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.480 in Detroit. All right, Matt, we'll get him back to 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.240 work week and we'll talk to you soon. Thanks to you. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.359 Snapping placement made kick us up Kiro Santos from forty 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.399 seven yards. It's good. Yeah. Sunday's game against the Detroit 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.040 Lions is brought to you by Advocate Healthcare, the official 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.639 healthcare partner of the Chicago Bears. Welcome back to the 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.720 Bears Coaching Show with our guest, Bears Special Teams coordinator 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.280 Chris Tabor. Good to have you alongside my friend. Let's 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.639 talk Kiro Santos because I just heard the highlight of 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.000 his forty seven yard field goal. That record streak of 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.800 consecutive field goals continues. I know a guy like yourself, 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.520 whatever happened in the past is irrelevant to the future 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.720 other than what you learn in terms of success rate. 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.200 That's always a new day dawning. But at the same time, 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.119 it's thirty one in a row now, and that's a 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:16.320 significant number in league circles, certainly a franchise record. You 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:18.600 throw on the playoff game, that's thirty two in a row. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:24.680 His consistency is really forgive the pun kicking into gear here, No, 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.359 And he's doing it. He's doing a nice job. He's 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:31.800 taking advantage of his opportunities and striking the ball really well. 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.200
