WEBVTT - Nagy, Lazor on Week 14 loss | Coaches Show 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.720 Welcoming into another edition of the Bears Coaches Show with 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:04.559 head coach Matt Nagie, brought to you by Whip the 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.080 CPAs and consultants Jeff Joni Yack here until eight o'clock 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.239 tonight with you Coach Naggie here into the bottom of 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:12.399 the hour, and then offensive coordinator Bill Laser joins the 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.160 program here at seven thirty give me Matt, how you 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.360 holding up? And early morning arrival from Green Bay. After 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:22.320 a promising start, that twenty four point second quarters certainly 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.960 was an eye opener, only to have the Packtors get 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.840 to win with a twenty four unanswered performance on their 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.040 own to get the victory overall, you touched at it, Taylor, 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.199 two halves, That's one part of the story. What else 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.120 did you see on tape? Yeah, that was the biggest thing, 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:42.120 Jeff is having to tail two halves. Our guys understanding 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.800 the significance of coming out and starting to fasten that 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.080 third quarter and then finishing in the fourth quarter. And 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.680 you know we didn't do that. So against the good 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.760 football team, they're gonna make you pay. They did that 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.960 right away with the touchdown drive there and start the 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.800 third the strip sack Phoeble that we had and then 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.200 they came right back with the throat of the half 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.720 back for the touchdown. So then we had to recover. 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.160 And I felt like even in that point, you know, offensively, 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.200 being able to kind of flip the field and if 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.080 you do end up punning, you flip the field, and 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.479 we just weren't able to do that, and we weren't 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.440 able to get that ground game going into in the 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.119 third and fourth quarter, and so we kind of became 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.880 one dimension on That's where you got to be really 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.840 really really really really good with those tackles on the edge. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.640 You got to help out with chips and slams and 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.200 get guys open, and you know, it just we just 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.399 didn't do enough in the end. Obviously. Yeah, we talk 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.360 about all the time against great teams and certainly the 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.520 one you're familiar with in Green Bay, about the you know, 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.840 you really can't have many stubs of the toe, so 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.959 to speak. Do you think that when it starts happening, 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.320 even though there was success the first half, you go 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:45.919 into the locker roo, I'm sure it was all jazzed 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.720 up that once they start happening again, because these guys 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.400 have touched the stove when it's hot and burned their finger. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.400 Do you think, oh God, here we go again. Is 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.760 some of that sneak in at times to your team? Well, 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.280 it's a good question if I answered that any other way. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.440 You say, well it did yesterday. It snucked in and 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.920 we couldn't recover it, you know, so, but our guys, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.399 you could just sense it on the sideline that even 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.880 though that was happening, there was guys that were trying 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.440 to stay positive. You know, it wasn't pointing fingers, it 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.520 wasn't trying to blame. Everyone was staying positive. They were 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.080 trying to pick each other up, and somebody was trying 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.639 to go out and make a play. And so you 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.960 felt that effort to the final snap yesterday, it just 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.399 was too much for us in the end. And that's 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.360 something that Aaron and that team has been doing for 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.920 a long time, and you know, we weren't able to 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.160 change that yesterday. You rarely start with special teams in 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.480 our conversations here, but we have to because it was 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.200 a spectacular performance in any respect here. Both phases of 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.200 the return game ninety seven for the touchdown, thirty four 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.680 on punt return forty two, forty the kick return that 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.680 would have been that's a forty yard or when it 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.360 goes out of bounds, and there were other things that 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.720 happened overall, summarize what went on in special teams because 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.160 it gave you great feel position endpoints. Yeah, that was huge. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.919 It's almost like getting a turnover, you know. And so 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.919 we talked about it all week long. Was we really 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.359 felt like we could get big returns in the return game, 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.480 be a kickoff or a punt return. And it's nice 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.160 to have when when you talk about it all week 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.160 and then it comes to fruition and the guys make 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.120 it happen and they execute. It was beautiful to be 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.919 able to see to be able to see seventeen have 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.359 that ninety seven yard punt return, that's special. And what's 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.640 special about that punt return is you could just feel it. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.760 It was one block after the other and then it 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.480 was just speed down the sideline and finishing with the touchdown. 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.080 So it's an energy booster. You feel it. It picks 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.440 you up on the sideline. I thought seventeen had to 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.520 held a game. You were able to take advantage of 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.880 some muffs. Two in the punt game, the kindle Vodor 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.080 running out of bounds. Apparently that was on his own 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.800 according to the referee after further review of it, Do 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.400 you still maintain that happen there? Again, that's one of 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.480 those calls that, in my opinion, is very very gray 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.800 and happens, you know, throughout the league all the time, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.040 and so it's it's becomes you know, subjective, and he 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.920 thought that that was what happens, and that's why he 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.800 bought the flag. Could have been a real big moment though, 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.880 no question about it for the Bears and the anside 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.480 kick of beauty as well. He had the Herbert recovery 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.880 and a guy that you know had ninety seven yards 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.920 on the ground and his first meeting against the Packers 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.960 getting it done in the kick return game. And he's 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.520 willing to do just about anything, isn't he? Because he 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.080 shows up some way somehow no matter what he's doing, 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.920 he does. He's special. He's a special rookie. You can 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.040 do a lot of different things. You love his mentality. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.039 A lot of yards after contact, and there was even 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.320 some ones that he didn't have great or have a 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.680 lot of huge production on the return, but yet you 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.720 still felt it were broken tackles. He might get three 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.080 or four or five extra yards. So he's a really 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.640 good player and he's gonna have a bright future. Injuries 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.800 piled up a little bit yesterday, Matt So tell us 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.839 about DHC. Yeah, it's unfortunate. You know, he went in 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.640 to make a tackle and you could see he got 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.200 hit on his forearm, and so he does have the 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.960 broken forearm and it's going to require surgery and he'll 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.359 be put on ir But you know, you just you 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.920 just love players like him that are so interval to 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.120 the special teams to be able to do things on defense. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.280 And he's been here a long time and sometimes, uh, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.760 they're quote unquote role players, but he's a he's a 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.880 phenomenal player, and you just love his effort and we 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.599 wish him the best. Speaking of effort, so James Daniels 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.440 makes it a great black, throws this guy down to 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.600 the ground, punishes him a little bit, rolls up on 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.440 Jason Peters and you saw that. You flinch because Peter's 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:38.400 is stalemating his guy, and those things do happen. Unfortunately. Uh, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.520 he's probably had that more than a time or two 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.120 in his seven thousand plus snaps in the NFL. Yeah, 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.039 for sure, I'm sure it's happening a lot, and it 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.039 is unfortunate because it's just, uh, it's part of being 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.040 in the trenches there, and you know it's he ended 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.120 up getting it rolled up on and he's a he's 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.440 a tough dude, and he was on the sideline and um, 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.400 I know he was in pain. But we'll continue to 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.320 monitor that and see where he is at. Keeper fingers crossed, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.840 left hand contusion for Justin Fields. You're feeling optimistic about that? 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.840 Are you optimistic as well for Roquan Smith? Or does 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:12.080 another hamstring tug concern you here in a short time frame. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.320 I do feel optimistic about ro Quan, I think, um, 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.880 but I but I also don't want to put, you know, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.560 anything on him without getting through the week and just 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.880 kind of seeing where it's at. You know, those uh, 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.320 those hamstrings and soft tissues you got to be real 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.520 careful of. And that's kind of where where we're at 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.640 with him. Others Kiris Tonga, Andy Dalton still working through 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.160 some swelling and pain in his hand. A summary there. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.200 So with the injury, an opportunity opens up for Tevin Jenkins. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.479 I can't imagine a more challenging environment with very few 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.840 snaps as a left tackle in his life, let alone 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.720 in the National Football League, coming off back surgery at 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:51.000 Lambeau in a in a really raucous environment and a 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.440 raucous game because the Bears were clicking to go into 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.440 the locker room with a halftime lead. Kind of summarize 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.719 his day, Well, yeah, you're you're right, you know it's 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.840 it's it's never easy, but I'm sure it's a game 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.360 that for the rest of his career he'll always remember 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.479 and know that he can get better from him and 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:07.919 we need to be able to help him out as 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.520 much as we can. He's a great kid, he cares 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:15.200 immensely and he's very very talented. So, um, that's a 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.360 part of life as a rookie. Defenses know that. So 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.679 we as as coaches and as teammates got to help 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.600 out when needed, and um, you know he's gonna learn 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.560 from that. Harquez sends it in the air far start 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.480 of the field. Jackem Grant retrieves at the two packs 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.560 him up. He's in big trouble at the five her 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.640 verses course gets blockers of the ten to the fifteen, 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.480 twenty twenty five, thirty down to thirds eggs head away. 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:44.800 He goes thirty twenty fifteen ten end zone who touched 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:49.200 down Bears? Wow. Welcome back to the Bears Coaching Show, 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.760 brought to you by Whippley CPAs and Consultants, a proud 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.560 partner at the Chicago Bears. Learn more at Whippley dot com. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.120 A lightning. You know, it was shocking to us afterwards, 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.280 given that Devin Hester and his excellence and hopefully a 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.760 Hall of Fame career, that was the longest punt return 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.280 in Bears history. I don't know if you knew that, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.160 but Kim Grant just heard the highlight, reverse course and 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.120 went down the sideline. No, yeah, that's uh, it's interesting 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.520 to hear that. And it's always fun watching him in 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.680 practice when he catches all those footballs that are you know, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.440 hit to him and the ONNLC and you know, go 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.920 back and forth with his movement, change in direction, and 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.720 you know, to be able to put that into action 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.560 against these guys, it was a huge spar for use. 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.720 And again there was some great blocking two, which is great. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.600 He's been talking about it. He says he's gonna he 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.800 was gonna do it somehow some way kick return if 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.800 he had the opportunity or a punt return. He's been. 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.960 His attitude is great. He's a guy who's hungry. Matt 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.480 Lafleur even called him a beast and certainly delivered in 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.960 the passing game two on that shovel off of the 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.480 jet sweep from my Justin Fields. Yeah, he's electric. You know, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.720 he's quick, he's fast. He can do a lot of stuff. 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.720 So we're trying to, you know, give him the football 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.920 more and let him do some things with football. And 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.360 he felt that yesterday. I mean that that's game that 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.760 he'll always remember. He was a big part of being 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.079 able to help us score points and we got to 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.560 keep that on stuck Justin Fields, he told us after 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.440 the game he felt about ninety percent last night. Did 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.600 take some hits. I think he was hitting nine times, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.760 but he avoided a bunch more that could have happened. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.880 He had a great day run of the football overall. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.080 How would you say his decision making was and what'd 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.160 you think of his throws last night? Yeah? I thought 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.360 it was pretty good. I thought that he made some 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.959 really really really good throws, especially outside of the pocket 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.959 on the run. His decision making when he was outside 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.000 of the pocket was phenomenal. He knew when to tuck 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.600 the ball, take off and run. He had the one 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.800 bootleg where he did that with Mooney as a lee bocker, 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:42.800 got up and out. He didn't take a lot of 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.160 extra hits. I was proud of him for that. And 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.200 then within the progression game, you know, in a drop 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.360 back three step, five steps, seven step, there were some 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.360 times where you know he had to move his feet, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.400 slide left, throw right, slide right, throw left, and he 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.880 did a good job. So he's growing. Whenever you throw 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.720 pick six, it's not easy to rebound from that, and 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.560 he did it yesterday coming back at the touchdown task. Yeah, 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.120 that's the first thing I set out of my mouth. 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.960 What's what's the rebound going to be like? And I 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.640 think he's already given us a pretty good sample size 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.560 of what he is like in those situations. He is, 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.280 I mean, he's done it all these games that he's playing, 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.240 and it's fun because it's consistent. You know, you just 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.160 feel it. And we were talking to him in between 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.319 right after the pick six in the next series, and 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.520 guys are coming over to him and just you know, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.840 not overdoing it, but taking care of him. And he 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.520 handled a grade and he showed what he's all about. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.360 You know, the throat of Mooney early first quarter, that's 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.120 the one that you know, you know he's getting hit. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.400 He knows he's getting hit by Kingsley, Kiki, he's in 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.360 his face. He fires it and as a reflection of that, 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.160 NFL next Gen Stats said he was pressured on nineteen 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.960 to thirty five dropbacks nine quarterback hits, but he was 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.640 eight to seventeen for one twenty two plus the seven 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.880 scrambles for seventy one yards and four first down. So 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.920 even if the pressure was there with ribs in awe 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.360 and at ninety percent, he still was able to be productive. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.680 And that was that was a killer throw right there. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.480 It was and again throughout that game, you know, and 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.160 that's the NFL. There's not a lot of times where 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.040 you have a really pretty clean pocket. But for him 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.560 as a rookie to be able to see that and 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.559 make these throws that he's making, in particular too, when 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.760 you're down multiple scores and they know you're one dimensional. Um, 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.040 he wasn't forcing throws. I mean he had to pick 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.120 six to the flat and he give me a good 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.040 play and then the last pick of the game, you're 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.640 in kind of desperation mode and um, you know, he 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.160 again he had to kind of get some stuff around 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.880 his feet, so he kind of had to throw through 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:44.400 some guys. But I really thought that he was productive 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.520 and he played a really good game on the player 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.160 Jalen Johnson. Over the course of the night, he played 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.360 a physical game with DeVante Adams, a guy who can 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.600 be a physical receiver. He lines up everywhere. I believe 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.840 when he was closest to him two or five only 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.080 nineteen yards. So, uh, would you overall think of Jalen 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.640 And it's a it's a second time around now with Davante. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:08.880 At times you gotta get him in the slot and 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.880 Jalen you know knows that's an adjustment too. But overall, 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.480 would you think of the second year play? Yeah, you 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.200 know he's Jalen is really he's growing a lot and 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.240 he's getting to see that. You know, when you have 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.880 these I mean that you're when we're talking about Davonte Adams, 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.920 we're talking about one of the best receivers in the NFL. 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.240 So you're gonna get challenged and he's gonna get catches. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.360 I thought Jalen in the first game did an excellent 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.439 job garden him. You know, he had that one play 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.400 at the very end. We had a big play and 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.560 then yesterday too, and that's that's going to continue to 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.040 happen with Jalen. You know, he's a he's a good 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.240 corner and he's gonna continue to grow. And um, we're 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.560 gonna keep wanting him to be matched up at times 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.040 with their best receiver. And so you're gonna win something, 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.040 you're gonna lose something. But you gotta have a short 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.439 memory as a dB. And he has that poor man 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.720 a Russia snap back Rogers looking at throw. They keep 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.640 him in the pocket. Pressure coming. Hey, daddy goes sect again. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.959 Robert Quinn number thirteen for number ninety four. Download the 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.480 Chicago Bears App to play our new predictor game or 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.560 risk It brought to you by Bette Rivers for your 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.560 chance to win two hundred and fifty dollars and free 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.360 bets and a custom Bears jersey. One more segment here 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.400 with Bears head coach Matt Naggie. Just heard another Robert 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.760 Quinn's sack. Looks like they credit him with two for 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.520 the game we keep talking about every week. He's just 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.280 stacking games in terms of getting pressure on the past 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.559 or fourteen now and thirteen games. An incredible season continues 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.800 for this veteran player at outside linebacker. Yeah, he's having 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.319 a heck of a year. And I just appreciate and 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.400 love it because he comes to practice every day and 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.160 practices the same. What you guys see on game day 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.600 is what he does in practice. Every snap he's out there. 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.840 I always got to yell at him and tell him 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.800 to stay away from the quarterback because he's always trying 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.280 to get so close. And I appreciate that about him. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.439 But it's nice to see him get rewarded and he's 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.240 helping our defense help pressure was really getting there. Second half, 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.719 they start out, they start pounding AJ Dillon and and 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.400 that's something you knew they were going to do at 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.280 some point in that game. Did that take away some 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.600 of the starts out of the rush. Yeah, And again 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.959 they really have been getting him going lately last several games. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.439 And he's a he's a big running back that when 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.360 he hits when he's going down the hill man he 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.360 stopped to bring down. And so they got that going 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.280 and went down there and scored that that touchdown and 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.000 We're going to continue to do that until you stop it. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.640 And then when you want to stop it, then you've 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.200 got to stop Davante in that passing game and then 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.080 the way they take shots, so you know they got 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.880 him going as a credit to them, all right, some 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.360 degradation at the nickel position because of injuries over the 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.240 course of the season. So Zavier Crawford had his struggles 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.880 last night. You put dhc he gets hurt. Both guys 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.200 got hurt, actually, and then Eddie Jackson forced to move 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:48.480 into the slot. Obviously has experience at that in his 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.240 college career, if I'm not mistaken, So what do you do? 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.400 What do you do at this point now at that position, 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.480 because it's it's a challenge when these teams are mostly 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.680 at the time put you in that nickel situation, and yeah, 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.000 no doubt, yeah, we you know it's it's a part 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.040 of this game. You get guys injured and banged up, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.840 and you know it's other guys have to step in 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.040 the roles. And that's what Eddie Jackson did yesterday. I 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.720 think that's a credit to him that he's able to 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:14.840 do that. And again, when you have to do that 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.320 against DeVante Adams, it's not very easy, you know. But 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.520 Eddie was able to come in and play some of 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.440 the nickel a little bit in that game. And and 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.680 so we're gonna have to continue to be creative with 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.200 how we you know, work through that and see where 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.720 we're at. But um, that's probably not a team that 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.800 you want that to happen. Well, And you know that 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.960 five yards slant he hit it twice inside the five 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.080 yard line, the quick slant one he hit with Lazard 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.400 on the fourth down, the other to Davante Adams. You 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.040 as an offensive mind, that's a play that i'd imagine 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.280 extremely difficult to defend no matter who's throwing the ball. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.960 But Rogers, so decisive and quick with his wrist, can 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.160 flick it in there. Is that a challenging play for anybody? 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.000 It is. It's hard because you got to protect for 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.200 the fade too. They can give you the same move 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.760 and you can go ahead and they can throw the 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.520 fade up to you, which they've done a lot as well. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.240 So you got to be able to to really be 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.320 ready for whether it is the key route or the 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.600 slant route or the fade. And they were able to 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.640 take advantage of that. All right, What do you feel 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.840 you can be in the final four games as a 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:23.120 football team. Well, we need to win and there are guys, 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.480 um that's what that's why you do. What you do 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.000 is to go out there and win. And that's why 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.600 the first half, those first two quarters, we were out 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.280 there just cutting loose, playing having fun. You could feel it, 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.560 you felt the energy on the sideline. That's what that's 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.440 what we need to do is just keep it simple 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.200 and you know, play for each other. We're out there, 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:47.200 cut it loose, don't hold back everybody and just see 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.400 what happens. And then another thing on Tevin Jenkins, because 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.000 your first worry is, okay, how do you make sure 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.080 that that guy does not lose confidence right away? I 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.400 know Justin talked about it with us after the game 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.560 because he is a little down and he told them, hey, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.360 you know, it's it's your first go around. What we 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.399 got you. I mean, how do you approach it then? 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.199 As a head coach, Yeah, it's the same way. I mean, 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.240 these are these young guys, you know there you have 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.280 some games where it can just be like wow, you 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.040 know this is the NFL. But at the same point 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:18.760 in time, these are the games that you'll remember for 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.639 the rest of your life, because it'll keep you juiced up, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.480 it'll keep you going to want to get better and 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.520 to understand the speed of the game. This is a 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.800 fast game. It's super fast, and so when you have 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.879 guys like Kevin and Justin that are really dedicated to 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.440 their art and trying to be great, they'll bounce back, 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.240 you know, and they'll understand that's not easy. We try 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.320 to get them as many reps as we can in practice, 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.680 but sometimes when you're the backup, you don't get as many. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.080 So all of a sudden, the lights come on and 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.680 you're thrown in there. That's different. So that's why you know, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.520 I really have a lot of trust in him. And 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:57.960 you're open for an alignment discussion with your offensive line coach, right, yeah, yeah, Well, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.840 we'll work through all that. You know, there's there's just 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.760 so many little variables that go through, whether it's the 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.000 health of a player. The different guys that we have 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.600 on our roster were extremely deep at our offensive line. 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.080 So we'll go ahead this week and talk through all 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.200 that and decide what's best for us. Mondner extra day 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:19.119 back in prime time thoughts. Yeah again, division opponent, you know, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.280 another football team, that this will be the first time 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.320 we play them this year, this late in the season, 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.840 for the first time. You know. The one thing about them, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.120 Jeff is every game they play has been coming down 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:31.960 in the last play of the game, so they're well 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.960 prepared for that. And we got to have a great 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.159 week of practice and during we tend to get to win. 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.560 All right, man, enjoy your preparation this week. We'll talk 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.840 to you next week. All right, Thanks, Jeff sa Fields 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.239 with Herbert in the game to his left, Ja came 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.400 Grant emotion. He'll take the flash, but we clip out 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.840
