The Bears Coaches 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.440 Show with Head Coach Matt Maggie. I'm Jeff joniak with 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.879 you until eight o'clock tonight. Bears with a nice nineteen 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.360 fourteen win over the visiting New York Giants were brought 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.279 to you by Whippley CPAs Again, Song's congratulations sound the win. 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.360 What do you see just bus for a real quick 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.800 last night. And I thought that all in all, you know, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.040 as a slow start we've had that, you know, we 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.680 want to be able to take that starter third quarter 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.640 and take that into the first the start of the game. Really, 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.160 you know, that's been a flaw for us, so we 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.479 want to get that fixed. But I like the way 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.800 that they bounced back. Overall, I thought Mitch made good decisions. 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.360 We had to one interception that uh, the one that 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.399 I thought was was more of toward in the in 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.360 the second half. The first half was more of the 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.080 way they played it, So I'll take that one. But 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.520 other than that, it was he really he made good 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.200 decisions and we just had some unfortunate situations early on 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.279 in that first half that took away two big plays 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.640 and that's how it goes, and we just gotta be 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.240 able to recover from that. Yeah, who knows what we 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.840 can build off those those plays that you didn't get either. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.000 Obviously the bronicker dropped that it was a walk in 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.640 touchdown probably and the sixty yard or I love the play. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.120 I mean, the play as it was designed was perfect. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.240 The blitz pick up by Montgomery outstanding, picking up that 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.320 speedy defensive back Valentine, and then the throw and run 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.480 after the catch. When you look at these things, you 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.000 see what could be added or what how it changed. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.320 Is the whole complexion of the game statistically or point wise? Yeah, yeah, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.480 you do, and you see that, and you know it, Uh, 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.720 like you said, you end up having a guy that's 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.960 wide open and it's probably gonna catch the ball and 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.000 walk in for a touchdown, and instead we end up 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.080 having an interception. So it's just that's kind of where 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.680 things have been um this year and we're waiting for 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.240 that one game, that one play to where it just 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.240 breaks open. Then again we have the other a great throw. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.520 I mean that throw that Mitch made on that third down. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.080 You go back and you watch that on the pressure 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.880 that he had in the pocket, he stepped up, it's 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.000 hard to see that throw. He stood in there and 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.000 he made a hell of a throw and a Robin 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.120 ran a great route. There was good protection, and so 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.639 you know, again there it is. We have a nice, 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.799 big game, you got momentum, you're backed up, you're out 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.600 of there, and now we're we're it's you know, you 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.800 don't get it. How do you say lane handle that? 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.080 Though we could look at defense, we could look all 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.240 phases of the game, opening kickoffs out of bound exactly. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.440 You know, you're ready to go and and this has 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.239 been the story off season long it has, and so 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.760 it has and we're getting challenged. There's no doubt about it. 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.600 We're getting challenged now. When you come out of the 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.440 game with a win, it definitely makes things easier. At 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.720 the same time, just like I said after the game, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.960 there's just zero complacency. So where we're at right now, 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.799 the fact that our guys are still battling through all that. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.639 You know, we go in seven down, seven to three 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:30.320 at halftime, but for them to rally back each week 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.880 here and come back out and start fast and grab 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.760 that lead again end of the game, fourth and eighteen 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.720 or fourth and sixteen, they score that touchdown and then 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.640 for us on third and one to not convert that 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.000 third and one. Those are two plays that we definitely 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.640 went back to finish and so that it doesn't come 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.080 down to the end of the game like it did. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.680 But it's none of it's because a lack of effort, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.880 you know. And so one of these games that will 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.080 break and we'll get some bounces and things go our 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.520 way and it'll feel better. Go back to the two 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.680 interceptions because you intimated. Okay, so I heard from Mitch 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.280 on the game show miscommunication with he and Alan Rabbinson, 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.680 but it was their coverage that kind of threw the 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.920 communication off. Well, no, it was the way they played 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.800 the coverage. So so they played a particular coverage that 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.960 we anticipated and then just the way that uh that 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.520 the that the backer kind of played his technique on 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.000 a rob There was just a miscommunication with with with 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.040 Alan and Mitch. But you know, you know that in 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.320 my opinion that that's something that takes a little bit 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.120 more reps and and uh uh you know, if that's 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.039 the case, you'd rather Okay, we'll get an incompletion rather 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.880 than and get three points out at worst. But um, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.320 you know, and and and that one there. So I 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.520 understand Mitch going on and saying that, but I just 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.200 feel like that's a difficult play call and it's a 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.680 difficult play execution in that part of the field. It's 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.520 the same thing at the end of the half when 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.240 they're dropping eight playing cover two. There's not a lot 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.720 of open holes there. So they know that they and 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.160 they know that, uh that you can throw the ball 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.120 over the middle field the clock's going to keep running, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.320 and then to take a shot that Jill in Love 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.240 intercepted the local kid from Nazareth Academy. That's probably the 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.160 one that I know that Mitch would say, Hey, if 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.120 there's one any game where I want that back, it 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.120 would be that play. So the incorporation and getting Anthony 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.279 Miller go on these last two years twelve one hundred 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.760 and thirty one yards at last two game, twelve catches. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.120 You really witness his explosion off the line of scrimmage 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.839 on those quick routes. That one drive is the Miller drive. 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.280 I like to call it. I guess is he on? 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.159 Is it coming now? Yeah? Well you're seeing that, and 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.880 what he's doing is he's winning the one on one matchup. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.000 So when they're playing him in man technique, he's running 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.720 good routes and then Mitch is on time with the throws. 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.280 It's never anything to do with with Anthony Miller being 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.479 shorter of talent. I mean, this kid has ultra he's 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.880 ultra talented. So it's just a matter of putting the 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:50.960 pieces together, of timing, execution, trust with your quarterback. You 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.440 trusting a quarterback quarterback trust and you you saw a 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.080 little bit of that yesterday. So the defense, again, they're 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.960 not allowing points, so that's keeping you in to sort 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:05.840 things out offensively, and the pass rush was pretty consistent 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.560 over the course of the day, and you got some 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.000 big hits from Leonard Floyd to including the end of 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.120 the game, right, Yeah, the end of the game was great. Um, 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.120 all in all, I just thought you felt an aggressive 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.800 style of defense yesterday. You certainly felt fifty two out 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.680 there running around doing doing his stuff that we've seen, 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.400 and so we want to keep that going. Uh, It's 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.920 it's not easy, and teams know they're gonna scheme for 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.200 for Khalil every play, every single play, So we're gonna 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.039 we have to try to find other ways to get 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.960 other guys open and to create opportunities for him to 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.480 special teams. We gave a whole segment last night on 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.400 the TV show on Fox Bears Game Night Live on 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:46.279 Cordell Patterson's coverage. It's been happening all year, but if 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.839 ever there was a play that was more exciting than 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.240 maybe you would think. It's the race to get that 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.760 ball touched down and finish a sixty one yard pump 0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:01.280 by Patrick O'Donnell. I mean it was an excite play. Yeah, yeah, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.760 it was, and we're able to catch him out there 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.719 with their defense on the field, and so I think 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.880 being able to to you know, make that kick and 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.080 then to see eighty four just run down the sideline 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:12.600 and just like you said, it was almost like in 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.760 slow motion, like just make sure you get that and 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.400 tap it back in and that's a that's a huge 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.480 flip of the field right there at that point in time. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.680 And so, uh, that's just who CP is what he does. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.200 He doesn't look for a lot of recognition. He's really 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.320 good on special teams and uh, you know everyone talks 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.040 about him as a returner, but you can see really 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.760 how important he is another as one of three impressive 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.840 including he's only catching the game, yeah on that play, 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.280 so spotting it down and then racing off the sidelines 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.320 to tackle it. Jabrill Peppers. That was another big play 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.200 right there in the game. The Bears Coaches Show with 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.040 head coach Matt Maggie and w bbm's Jeff joni Ac continues. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.800 Three receiver sla left snap fakes the hand up to 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.800 mincom We're gonna throw the left seam and it's cut 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:05.800 it rabbit touch touchdown, Bears Allen Robinson fighting with the 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.600 defender Corey Ballantine the nickel and he's in from thirty 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.480 two yards and the Bears half the lead to start 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.760 the third Welcome Back to the Bears Coaching Show, brought 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.160 to you by Whippley Financial Advisors, a proud partner of 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.400 the Chicago Bears. The touchdown catch and run by Alan 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.120 Robinson stuff after the catch, you know, there were plays 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.120 and connections with he and Mitch. This is the first 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.120 one hunder yard plus game he had since Week one 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.760 against Green Bay. But you could tell that it was sinking. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.040 You liked a certain matchup. Clearly you had him out 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.400 of the slot quite a bit, and he's he's very 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.440 good out of the slot too, he is, and he 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.880 presents a lot of matchups really no matter where he's at. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.040 But that was a nice little play action for us. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.280 And when you go back and watch the tape, you'll 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.640 see that A rob gave a little little move there 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.760 about fifteen yards down field, which kind of created some space. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.160 Mitch made a good throw, He made a good catch, 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.079 made sure he called it first, and then once he 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.640 caught it, now it's just a matter or trying to 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.400 beat that guy and carry him into the end zone. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.880 And he's the type of guy. It wasn't a spectacularly 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.240 perfect throw, but he can clean your guy up. Yeah, 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.640 one hundred times. That's that's his value there. Yeah, without 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.800 a doubt it. It's not an easy throw because you're 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.000 you're you know, there's play action, there's guys in your face. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.559 You got to see exactly where that safety's at. Plus 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.520 you don't know the exact leverage of the Nickels. So 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.480 as long as you put it in the area for 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.679 him to make a play and make it catch a ball, 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.280 and that's what they did. Run game still churning a 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.199 little bit, Yeah, yeah, it is um But when you're 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.000 able to throw the ball like we were yesterday, we 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.360 were able to move the ball up and down the 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.160 field in the passing game. And so as long as 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.840 you have one of them going and you can move 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.040 the football, yeah, it can open up other areas. So 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.840 we want to keep that, you know, stay on track 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.480 and try to try to get that run. At the 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.000 same time, the thirteen year run by Montgomery again, you 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:51.079 start talking about taking coaching tape and using it as 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.679 a as a design for weeks to come or next 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.720 year or whatever. That was in my opinion, perfect execution. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.880 Jee Daniel's coming down, washing out his guy, creating a 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.600 nice lane for sure. And that's that's something that we 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.880 saw on tape with that blast play where he had 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.840 that nice run, and then we came back to it 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.960 a few more times, but they made an adjustment to it, 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.840 so it wasn't quite as good. That's part of football. 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.400 But so yeah, that was a nice run to start, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.280 and we want to we want to try to have 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:18.800 more of those. All right, let's go back to the 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.720 defense and get more specific about it. Obviously, the first 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.280 step is stopping say Quon and and you guys were 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:25.880 all over it right in the first snap of the game, 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.560 and that kind of set the tone with Eddie Jackson 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.679 coming off the line of scrimmage. Yeah, it was nice 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.800 seeing Eddie come off the edge there and get him 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:36.000 for a five yard loss. Again first downs, Keeping teams 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.680 like that out of second of five, second of four 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.440 is big. And now you put him in a passing 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.400 situation where you got to look out for screens, but 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.520 to keep him to you know whatever. It was three 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.120 point five yards per per rushing attempt and two catches 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.960 for one yard. When you do that against that team, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.120 you're gonna have a shot. And then these play of 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.240 the safeties at Jackson included but haha, Clinton Dix, Ledgi 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.319 and tackles with seven and I also made some big stops, 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.360 including the fourth and four. Yeah, that fourth and four 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.319 was great. They ran a little man beater, um where 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.520 they they our defensive end did a good job of 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.679 pushing the running back, timing wise to throw it off 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.680 with the quarterback and then haha, came out of nowhere 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.120 to make a big play. So those guys are flying around, 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.079 they're playing with a lot of energy and making plays 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.880 when we need them. What was the reaction on sidelines 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:26.000 on Khalil's rush on Soldier? It was a very It 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:30.280 was a nasty, nasty, dirty rush, a left tackle and 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.000 going for the ball. What did that do for everybody? Yeah, 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.120 it just it gets you. You know, you see that 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.319 and it's just it's such a pick up for everybody 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.559 on the on the sideline, and you know that that's 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.560 who he does, that's who he is, that's what he does. 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.080 And um, anytime you can go ahead and get a 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.680 turnover and you know, um that that's huge for our team. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.679 One of twelve and third down, So once again you're 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.000 making it hard on teams with that third down issue. Um, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.800 you know, you throw down defense in your overall stopping 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.839 of the run game for the most this season has 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.240 been great, and Chuck dialed up some really significant pressure 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.520 at times during that game. Yeah, that's that's key. And 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.720 when when you can again it goes back to first 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.920 and second down, when you can get teams into third 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.520 and medium too longer. Now, that's where these defensive coordinators 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:15.800 like to turn up the heat a little bit, and 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.440 we were able to do that. All right, let's talk 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:22.000 get pinto with that opening kick and weirdly, Aldrigrosas did 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.120 the same exact spinner kick to start the second half. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.439 It's just a weird day at the office or what 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.240 with the kicker. I don't even know how to explain it. Yeah, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.840 you really, you can't make that up to start the game, 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.000 and for that to happen, I mean, that's uh, it's unfortunate, 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:40.920 but it's uh. Again, our our defense was able to to, um, 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.760 you know, do their best to make sure that we 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.280 get the ball back considering the field position. That's that's 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.559 the one thing when you look back at the first half, 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.080 you go back and you look at starting field position 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.959 for our offense versus their offense, and it was four 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.200 drives in said the ten. Yeah, that's uh, that's you 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.480 gotta that's you gotta take that into consideration. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.400 But like you said, the start of the third quarter, 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.800 so you're always talking about the wise finding out the wise. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.520 Why is it just that you take a step back. 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.360 The coach is doing a great job. You're doing great 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.520 job of making that one adjustment or two that, or 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.760 is it a different set of play cuts you script 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.280 a little bit. I mean, I don't know, but that's awesome. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:24.040 Five straight games is not not easy, No, I hear you. Um, 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.320 I'll be honest, Jeff, if I had, if I knew why, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.280 I would tell you it's I think there's just there's 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.520 I don't. I don't. I have no idea what the 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.120 answer is because it's that kind of season it is. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.800 So I'm just glad our guys are doing it now. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.319 We just let's let's do it. In the first drive 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:43.960 of the game, no more of the Bears Coaches Show 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.080 with head coach Matt Maggie on News Way Too seven 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.679 eighty and one oh five point nine FM w BBF, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.760 Snap tripiskey gonna keep it right side. He's into the touchdown. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.880 As the play clocks expiring, Mitch trip Whisky rolls in 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.439 from freeing the design run and whips the football of 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:08.840 the air in exuperance. Bears nineteen giants seven shredded or 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.560 saucy cheese beans there, Nah, however you make them share 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.280 your Bears game day natchal recipe at Tostitos Bears dot 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.760 com for a chance to win a Bears vip tail 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.880 getting experience and tickets at the December twenty second game 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:25.840 versus Kansas City, made the best Nacho's win Jeff Joniac 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.600 Matt Nage here on the Bears Coaches Show. The highlight 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.960 of Mitch's touchdown run, well designed little sweep to the right. Yeah, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.280 that's that's a situation where you kind of hang on 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.040 to some of those plays for that for that deal 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.640 right there, and David Montgomery made a hell of a 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.760 block on the edge, and then Mitch, you know, stuck 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.880 his helmet up in there and got us a touchdown 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.600 when we needed it. How About when he ran out 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.360 of the end zone, he waited there for the last 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.840 possible second, waiting for something to open up. You do 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.200 appreciate his pocket savinist there to just hang in there. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.040 But that was a huge, huge guts you run there. Yeah, 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.200 it was the They were in coverage and he scrambled 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.440 back and you saw him back there in the end 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.200 zone for a little while and then decided to push 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:07.680 up into pocket and there was there was a lot 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.160 of green grass in front of him, and he made 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.120 made a nice run, all right. Yeah, Jesper Horstead active 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:18.360 had himself his first NFL special teams tackle and he 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.160 was open on a play that What did you think 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.280 of that one on the bootleg? Yeah, he was He 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.920 was open there in the flat um. There's a possibility 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.760 of maybe getting to him right away, but sometimes the 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.360 angles that you have on the field makes it a 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.560 little bit more difficult. But he was open there. He 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.200 called a little gap screen down in the red zone 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.920 and and so it'll be interesting to see how how 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.080 he does here as we go. And he's done a 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.640 lot of good things for us. Bobby Massy had to 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.320 leave the game and we'll find out over the course 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.280 of the week what the status is. But Cornelius Lucas 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.280 proven to be uh and he's enjoying this opportunity since 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:51.880 it's been a lot better than it has been in 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.720 recent years for him. So he looks like he's found 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.200 a nice niche here. Yeah, it's important to have that depth, 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.120 and he's done a good job at helping us out 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.000 at that that tight position. Um when we bring him 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.720 into game and do some different things. So well, we'll 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.440 see how Bobby is, but we're we're very lucky to 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.200 have cornelis. And then how is Sherrick McManus. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.720 same thing with his groin. So you saw him go 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.760 down on that one play, and we'll keep an eye 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.000 on it and see where he's at, you know, hopefully 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.120 hopefully he's he's fun the sequence of events on the 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.920 two point thing, what were you upset with with the 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.160 official specifically? Yeah, we we have a we have a 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.000 play where just like it was executed, where we get 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.200 the ball in the flat and you know down there 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.400 there's a lot of bodies and and and a lot 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.480 of tight space, and so they they decided to throw 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.520 the flag and say that that uh a rob was 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.760 was picking the defender. Um, you know, it's a route 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.400 that we're running and so, um, there can be some 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.560 gray there, but they explained their side of it and 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.640 we understand that. And so a play like that, we 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.920 how do you you like to play? Clearly? It works? 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.520 So do you make adjustments in the future or how 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.000 does that work? Are you just yeah, no, no, no, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.760 you don't trash it. You can make adjustments. Um, and 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.000 then you just go back here in the off season 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.880 and you find out that you know, real you get 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.040 the real, clean, clean answer of why why that occurred? 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.120 And we think we have a good idea, but um, 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.639 sometimes that's how it goes. And uh, you know, I 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.280 just appreciate the guys executing it like they did. And 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.400 then with the communication, Yeah, how does it get yea. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.920 So we ended up having a h an injury. That's 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.199 when Bobby got hurt. And and so as we go 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.840 out there for the for the extra point, um, we 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.800 we were we were good at numbers. We had eleven 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.000 guys out there, so we were ready. Well a couple 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.800 a couple of our guys looked out and saw that 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.640 Bobby wasn't out there and thought we were short. So 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.400 that's kind of where where some of that went down. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.639 So we got to clean up that communication process and 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.960 make sure that uh they you know, we understand, we're 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.520 good to go, and then we don't have that whole 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.159 too many voices maybe yeah, possibly yeah, yeah, all right, 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.560 signed to Detroit quick week for you. Really it's just 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.520 one light practice. Uh and but the good news is 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.679 you've done These guys have done it last year, that 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.439 stretch of eighteen days and three games. And mentally, is 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.720 that a bonus that that happened last year? He played 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.960 on Thanksgiving to get these guys. They know what they're waiting, 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.960 they know what they're waiting for, right for sure. No, 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.960 we'll have a matter of fact, last year, it was 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.280 even it was even later when we did this because 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.720 we were coming off a night game Sunday night, so 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.080 we got the guys in in the evening. We started 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.000 I think almost at six o'clock. Practice was a start. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:31.119 So today we're a few hours before that and um 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.880 and so uh yeah, we'll have the walkthrough and it's 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.760 all mental. You know, this was the one last year 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.679 we're Chase didn't have any reps, you know, no reps, 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.840 no live everything was mental. But our guys have been there, 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.400 done that, and Detroit's probably doing the same thing. Jeff 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.040 Jrisco looks like he'll he'll remain the starter. What did 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.200 you learn about him from the last game, Well, he's 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.600 he's a feisty competitor that he can do things with 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.160 his legs. You know, we've now he's gonna now have 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.399 two more games on top of our game that he's played, 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.200
