How are you guys doing? 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.040 This is new for us? Yes, I not not that 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.400 we haven't been all together certainly, but this here particular 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.880 show kind of a formula hit all the buttons, but 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.800 now we got a couple of wrinkles and toms a player. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.200 Why do you just why do you look at me 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.200 and say we have wrinkles like something physically. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.600 You gotta adjust, We gotta adapt and overcomes. 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.840 That's what we need. That's what the Bears need to 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:19.839 do right after week. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.760 One hundred percent. Heard a lot of good things today 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.800 and yesterday, so we'll see how it all adds up. 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.600 Assistant coaches, the offensive coaches just were available to the media, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.440 so they rotate last week defense, this week offense. So 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.160 everybody obviously wanted to talk to offensive line coach Chris Morgan, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.959 but also to take Tobert just where Chase Claypool's at. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:47.720 And with Claypool, he said he's hustled and worked harder 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.360 than any of the receivers this week first to show 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:55.120 up at meetings and hopefully it'll translate. So, uh, and Tommy, 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.320 I don't know what any of that means to you 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.680 as next player, but that's oude of the mouth that 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:00.320 tech over. 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.800 But tom this is the perfect spot for a player 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.320 that you can't wait to get to the next Sunday, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.000 right because you want to make good on what transpired 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:10.760 last Sunday. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.639 Yeah, you know, it's it's kind of weird because if 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.520 you look at the player, the plays that they're criticizing 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.560 Chase Claypool for. You know, there's reasoning behind it. You know, 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.800 the first outside screen, that the lateral screen, the ball 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.600 was tipped by an unblocked rusher at the line of scrimmage, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.720 so it interrupted the flight of the football. There's no 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.560 guarantee you're going to catch it anyways, because the defenders 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.720 who were already in pursuit of the pass when you 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.040 when they saw it. Then the next one that he 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.839 comes in, he has a crack on a linebacker, hits 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.000 the linebacker really good, but Darnell Wright doesn't have enough 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.200 depth on his poll and then he hits Claypool and 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.600 his block knocks him off and then they make then 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.240 they have the play, and so everybody's blaming Claypool. You know, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.920 when you have a design of an offense, you know 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.480 it when you have eleven guys trying to do one 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.720 specific job. Everything's got to fit perfectly and there's an 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.280 ex act to everything. It's not trying to get to 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.480 a general area and then see how the block unfolds. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.560 Because you know, on the fifteenth play of the game, 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.560 Robert Tunyan he had a block. He was an exterior 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.640 wide receiver and he got run over by a defensive back. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.079 That'sn't as egregious as any of the Claypool plays that 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:23.760 everybody's highlighting. And the thing about it is is all 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.120 these social media evaluators they come and they look at 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.800 a couple plays and then they put it out there 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.320 and then it's the blame game. And so that's just 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.520 not the case because I can sit here and go 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.280 through my notes on every single play and you can 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.760 talk about how do you improve it? And so I 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.400 think that's the thing about the offensive coaches going forward 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.000 and the defensive coaches. When you look at a tape, 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.760 you got to have thick skin because you're gonna get 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.160 criticized in front of your peers whether you like it 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.040 or not. And so what do you do with it? 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.400 Do you put your head in the sand like an 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.440 ostrich or do you go out in the practice field 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.680 and do what you need to do to improve in 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.680 when Matt Iberfluss was talking about the technique things that 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.800 every it's every single guy's job has to get better 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.360 at their technique. And to me, when you go from 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.360 training camp, when you go from like seventy percent max 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.280 to one hundred percent on game day. It's almost impossible 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.600 to catch up on week one. So we'll see how 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.600 it is week two, week three, and going forward. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.919 And how much do you think that they'll be able 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.640 to go from seventy to one hundred here in week two. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.400 You've talked about the heat a lot time, right, and 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.919 it's not and we talked to Jeff yesterday and the show. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.520 It's not like it's going to be one hundred degrees, 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.440 but they're eighty six or eighty nine with a. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:43.240 Lot of humidity. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.720 It's and when the sun peeks out from behind the clouds. 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.080 I set out there in the crowd in on a 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.839 cloudy day two years ago when Tom Brady threw six 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.640 hundred touchdown against the Bears, and for the ten minutes 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.080 the sun came out, it felt like I was sitting 0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:58.760 on the sun. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:00.600 That's how hot it's out out there. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.880 So right now six o'clock, it's eighty six degrees on Sunday, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.480 there's a thirty percent chance range, so that means it's 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.040 going to be humid, and it's ninety degrees, which probably 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.159 be a little bit higher than that. When you have 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.880 a blue helmet on, you know, there's a lot of 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.320 heat absorbing the orange. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.920 Well, same things dark color. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:19.840 Those orange helmets too. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:24.440 Yeah, no Dora helmet like uh, you know, I'm a 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.560 traditional blue guy, you know. I want to see the 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.640 Bears come out in the uniforms that they've been wearing 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.279 since nineteen twenty, although they do have the other you 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.320 know uniforms, like the blue with. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.320 The white low You like the blue with the white logo. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:37.680 I like that. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.120 We used to sweat like we stole something, right. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.440 Your head would come out fielding like a raisin at 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.000 the end of the game with those blue helmets on 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:46.640 the you know. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.159 And that's why Tampa wears white aad homes exactly, you know. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.280 And then they have the sideline that that doesn't get 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.160 shaded as the sun moves, so you sit in the 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:53.840 sun off game. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.880 Is that seriously why the Bears are probably wearing the 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.000 orange because they don't want to wear the dark blue 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:00.800 and makes a lot. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.000 Of sense, but you know, you got to pick a 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.000 couple of games a year to alternate, so that's one 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:04.320 of the but. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.120 You know, get you getting back to the heat. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.039 It is a factor because when you go out for 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:12.919 pregame warm ups, it's about eleven o'clock East Coast time zone. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.920 And so now you're out there for a couple hours 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.160 before actual kickoff, and when you go into the locker 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.039 room after warm ups, is there's sometimes that you're already 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.440 so drenched in sweat that the game hasn't even started yet. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.279 It could be soupy, but I think it's worse in Miami. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.360 That's really you do. Yeah, humid in Miami, and they 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.480 got the sun. They put you on the sideline when 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:36.640 the sun's just baking you. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.239 You remember, yeah, and then they have a dark green 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.080 tarp down that absorbs even more heat. You stand on 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.760 the grass and you stand on the tarp at Miami, 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.760 it's fifteen degrees hotter on the tarp than it is 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:48.760 on the natural. 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.560 Howl effect what you guys are wearing in the in 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:50.960 the booth. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.280 It doesn't it does not end. And you looked at 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.800 you looked at me serious with that question. Yeah, No, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.320 we're gonna go shirt listen and. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.159 This so listen. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.159 So so for the TV show that we have to 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.039 do on the sideline, this half hour live. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.400 So I called the guy for the camera guy from Fox. 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.400 And I go, hey, do you shoot us from just 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.160 the waist up, or do you see our legs at all? 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.960 He goes, no, it's pretty tight from your wear shirt. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:23.200 Yes, no, no, I'll wear shoes, but there is a 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.160 good chance that I will be in shorts. 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.120 Uh, shorts and the jacket for the no, we don't. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.840 We used to? Well I did, he never did it, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.160 and the contrast got to be to the point where 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.400 I look ridiculous, or he does one of the two 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.240 and I'm gonna stop, shoot and tie. Wait, there's a 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.000 case could be made we should look the same. So 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.520 a couple of years ago we started wearing a bear 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.640 shirt and there we go. That's not you know, aside 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.240 from the heat and Clay point that the biggest news 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.720 of the day is Kyler Gordon. Yeah. I mean you 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.640 knew he's probably not gonna play, but now he's on 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.760 ir to what extent is the injury and not sure? 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:02.120 But uh, that's a big loss. They Jeff, I think 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.440 it could be a combination of guys. I mean, Blackwell 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.160 obviously is on the depth chart as the backup. But 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.720 you know, I think when they bring Stroman up on 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:15.160 the practice today, yeah, yeah, see that's that's just it. Yeah, 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.320 I got the injury report here too. Yeah, so that's 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.120 you know, so hey, all hands on deck because they 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.240 put good Godwin in that slot and he's he's a rugged, 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.880 outstanding receiver, one of the best duos in the league 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.520 with him and Mike Evans, so that that is a 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.840 major position to address. Tom. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:35.000 So you you talked a lot about the the armchair 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.480 film guys, you know, and I like to watch a 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.839 lot of that stuff, you with the trained eye, a 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.800 guy who knows what he's watching. I I compared it 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.040 to I said earlier, it's like taking a boat ride. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.000 Like sometimes you want a captain who will explain it 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.079 to you, and those are the people who narrate it. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.120 You don't need a captain because you know how to 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.280 navigate the waters. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.160 So if your analy. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.400 Seeing the sixty minutes of filmed us, what are your 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.280 big takeaways from watching those sixty minutes that you would 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.000 tell us and Bears fans that you the biggest takeaways 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.760 in your mind, not from anybody else. 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.200 The Tom Thayer took off. 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.040 Before you answer, say I'm the captain, Now go ahead, 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:18.880 all right, that's good. 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.680 I'm not rack Gil again. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.480 You know, it's it's just more of I I really 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.240 think if if you're gonna have football timed up to 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:32.559 the exact way it's gotta be designed, and the rhythm 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.880 that you need and the act exact whereabouts after a 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.600 receiver's running aroute at one hundred percent. I just don't 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.959 think that you can have you can come out of 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.000 training camp with that when you have so few reps 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.559 at one hundred percent together, and whether it's an angle 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.160 by a wide receiver going to hit a dB so 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.719 that dB who Green Bay said before that might have 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.240 been one of the most physical training camps I've ever had. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.680 So now if these guys are going through training camp 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.760 and they're working eighty five to one hundred percent and 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.880 you've been working at seventy to eighty percent, Now you 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.120 have to get to a specific angle on a crack 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.000 block or wherever you got to be. Maybe you're not 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.720 exactly in the right spot because you really didn't do 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:21.640 it at the game expected speed. So to me, you know, 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.920 there's a lot of things. Let me because I do have, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.120 you know, notes on my. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.480 Fall you look for that. Let me, let me add this, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.880 Let me add this. Though, because you know the chemistry 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.360 or the offensive line, we always say it's got to 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.439 be great but that also matters to the defensive line. 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.880 It matters to the secondary. So Eddie Jackson Jakwan Brisker 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.720 didn't play that much in the preseason together. They were 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.760 both banged up, so that matters. All of it matters in. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.520 The end route combination for receivers and tight ends and 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:49.840 also is important for them. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:50.040 You. 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.480 Tom will hold your notes. We'll get well back to 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.040 get back to them. And Bears Weekly.

I mean that game means the 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.040 most I mean to me personally. You know, I still 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.800 think guys that you know aren't from here may not 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.240 necessarily understand the truth, like really what it means to 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.480 guys who are from here and the fans it means 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.640 from I mean, that's a game where you know, if 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.880 I you know you're twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old, you 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.440 know you're crying at home after the game, you know, 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.040 that's what that game means, you know what I mean, 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.439 And you know I definitely felt that, and I was 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.440 super emotional for a couple of days about it. So 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.160 a hard one to get over, but uh, but one 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.120 we got to move on from. And you kind of 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.840 just have to take the perspective that even though it's 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.280 it really isn't only one game, you know, because that 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.360 game doesn't mean it, but it still is one of seventeen. 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:03.600 And we got to be able to move on here 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.000 and and get going here against Tampa. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.360 Yeah, the the whole cliche of don't make one loss 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.680 equal to absolutely that really is confronting this team this week. 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.840 We agree, Yeah, absolutely, I think you know, there's a 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.720 there's gotta be a balance of taking what happened into 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.360 the practice week and using it, you know, for good 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.600 and but also moving on from it and creating a 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.360 positive attitude of locker room going forward, because there's a 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.400 lot of football left and it's week one, and you know, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:29.880 I was watching tape around the league, like there's a 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:30.480 lot of teams. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.199 That didn't come out ready to go. So at the 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:34.400 end of the day, we gotta we got. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.080 To use this week of preparation, get ready to go 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:37.320 here and get a win against Tampa. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:39.840 How about your role in the offense. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.160 Uh, this Tampa team is going to be pretty dangerous 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.360 with the pressure packages up. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.640 But you know it could you can make them pay too. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:46.800 Can't you? 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:47.320 Absolutely? 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.000 Yeah, So they're embering pressure, So we got to be 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.400 good about our checks and you know, just justin will 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:52.360 get us in the right calls. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:53.640 And you know, if. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.520 I got a block, a block of defender, block of blitzer, 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:57.960 you know, those are the type of things I have 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.200 to do, you know, in third down situations. And we 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.240 got to hold up so we can dish out the 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.439 ball to our playmakers here. So we're looking forward to 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.040 doing that this week. And you know, we're excited about 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.280 the plan and and we're looking we're looking forward to 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.600 get a good rebound game here. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:18.040 You're so well spoken, you're engaging, You communicate extremely well 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.920 your thoughts about the game. Are you that way with 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.800 the fellas in the locker room? Do you? Are you 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:28.640 now comfortable now in your fourth year with a young 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.080 team to speak your mind? 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:30.440 Yeah? 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.720 Absolutely, I think you know, I feel like I have 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.360 to speak my mind on things now because I want 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.040 to win I want to win, and you know, I'm 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.600 going to say what needs to be said, and like 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.720 I'm going to be respectful about it obviously and all 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.480 those things. But you know when I when I think 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.640 something needs to be said, I'll say it. And at 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:49.960 the end of the day, though, I think it's just 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.080 about going to work every day of practice and treating 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.720 those practice reps like like game reps, and and making 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.880 sure we're on it there. So you know, just telling 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.200 the guys like making sure we're prepared throughout the week, 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.280 making sure you're at practice doing the right things, and 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.240 taking care of your body and so we can get 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.600 wrong here, you know, starting starting on Tampa. 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.160 All right, you got Levante David, you get, Devin White, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:10.880 you get and. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.440 You got you got that little guy who is just 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.600 like his dad was, Antoine Winfield Junior. Those could be 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.760 guys that attract your attention. What do you think of 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.480 those three guys and how do you how do you 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.440 handle that? Because they they gave up a lot of 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.240 catches last week to Hokinson. 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:27.880 No they did. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.960 Yeah, they're they're physical. I mean they give up catches, 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.600 but they didn't give up a lot of yards there. So 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.080 they're they're they're uh, they're quick trigger guys. You know, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.760 they're fast, they're speedy side to side, and they're hard 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.640 hitters too, so they've shown that on tape. So I 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:42.640 just think at the end of the day, we just 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.720 got to show our show our physicality towards them and 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.640 and do that and in the run and pass and 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:48.600 I think it'll be all right. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.720 You know, watching you catch the balls there in the 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.160 second half, you get chopped down. 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.320 Man, you have to be aware of that. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:00.280 You know they're going low, your tall timber, you know, Uh, 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.800 is that automatic to you or can you never really 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.600 relax that part of the idea that that guy's coming 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.200 low for me because he could really hurt you. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.600 Yeah, I think, yeah, there's a balance with it, you know. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.840 Some I think like the first one when we had 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.560 in the ren zone in the in the first half, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.680 Gyre made a good play because he was getting depth 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.520 on the slam and I threw down thinking I had 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.520 more room to him than I did turn around, and 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.360 he triggered pretty well. So I mean, that's a veteran, 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.120 veteran guy knowing what he's doing. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:29.800 But yeah, you know, you. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.800 Just got to feel those things out and and be 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.840 able to, you know, get that stiff arm down when 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.920 you can and kind of protect your life a little bit. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.880 But it's definitely hard. You know, they're trying to chop 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.320 you down as they know they can't get you up top. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.840 All right, Chase Claypool, he's a lightning ride right now 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.720 for whatever the reasons may be. But you know him 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.280 better than any tell us about him. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.400 What we for this? 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.480 Yeah, I think I think. I think that's what it is. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.920 It's his passion and you know, sometimes it gets it 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.360 gets out of him a little bit and and you know, 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.159 it becomes a thing, and but he knows, you know, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.720 he knows is what he's got to do, all those 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.760 type of things. And he's frush. He wants to win too. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.960 No one wants to win more than Chase. And I 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.199 know he was he was frusher with some things, uh 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.720 this past week, but I know he's looking forward to 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.440 have a good rebound week coming up here. Like coach says, 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.120 I for I Ford, Yeah, I got it. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.800 I'm gonna ask you this and I may have before, 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.040 so answer it again if you can, But you know, 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:27.720 I know what you're gonna answer. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.359 But I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.480 What is the most underrated aspect of your game that 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.240 doesn't get talked about enough. 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.240 Yeah, I think it's been my blocking coming out. 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.280 Ding ding ding ding ding ding. I know he's gonna 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:40.680
