There, good evening time, 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.680 Big Jeff. It's gonna be a lot. Like all your dinners, 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.440 we have a lot to digest. And so when you 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.320 think about the beginning of the season, you think about 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.679 the coaches talking today, you think about us getting prepared 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.600 to be at Hollis Hall to watch rookie miniicamp. When 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.480 you take all that in, you know, there's a lot 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:19.520 of excitement on the table and I'm looking forward to 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.920 every every step of it. The only thing missing is 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.600 there a total return of normalcy. But we're knocking on 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.240 that door hopefully. But yes, all the assistant coaches, the 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.560 offensive coordinator spoke today. When you total it up, some 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.880 two hours, a lot of a lot of questions you 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.800 might suspect about rookie Minicamp and the arrival of Justin 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.399 Fields from Ohio State. We'll start with that right now 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.280 with you and I and the quarterback coach John D. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.720 Philippo on the first steps for the Ohio State rookie. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.000 The first thing when we talked about this, you know, 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.880 all we've I guess we've been zooming. I guess last 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.280 two weeks. I guess it is. And I mean, I'm 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:52.720 not going to share the things that he might share 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.160 in terms of our short term goals, but one of 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.360 them was, I'll tell you one of them was to 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.480 you know, have command of the you know that that's 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.440 you know, show the other ten guys in that huddle 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.360 that you have some commanding. We've been working your butt 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.160 off calling the plays, knowing the cadence, knowing where to 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.360 go with the football. It's not going to be a 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:15.000 very in depth installation in terms of the the amount 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.519 of plays, amount of formations, shifts and motions in that thing. 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.200 But I want to see him. You know, those building 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.560 blocks of becoming a starting quarterback in the league, and 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.120 you start at the lowest of love. You start with 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.120 the cadence, You start with the huddle, You start with 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.160 knowing your first wide visioning, which is everything that you 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.440 have before you get the ball in your hand, play clock, 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.160 Are we lined up correctly? What's the cadence? Is there? 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.560 Killed with the play? So the mechanics of playing quarterback, 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.720 the mechanics of the first step of knowing our offense 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.160 is what we're trying to build upon to when the 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.720 veteran players come down, and they do have a body 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.079 of work from Ohio State too, and his excellence there 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.119 at Tommy. Yeah, you know what's weird because now when 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.880 we talk about college quarterbacks coming out of their system, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.000 we have to talk about their presence in the huddle 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.200 because some of these guys Jeff that they don't huddle up, 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.639 they look to the sideline, they look at those big 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.600 poster boards up and then they call a play for there. So, 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.799 like they say, you gotta have command in the huddle, 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.520 you want to have it because the first thing you 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.480 tell every single guy in that huddle is make eye 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.120 contact with the quarterback, see what he's saying, and see 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.400 the quarterback and then kind of filter the information that 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.160 he's getting out how it pertains to you. You talk 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.799 about the past concepts that he's gonna have to learn, 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.880 how he's going to bring the information from the classroom 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.960 out into that huddle. And so we're gonna see evidence 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.880 of that, and all the coaches are going to see 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.600 evidence of that immediately. And I think it's gonna be 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.280 really exciting because we're talking about the learning process of 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.480 the quarterback position and how it fits into this type 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.840 of athlete and really starting from a square one here, 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.240 because you're stripping it down to the bare wire here. 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.920 And it's big part on the shoulders for Andy Dalton, 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.400 the starting quarterback at the moment, and Nick Foles, and 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.800 for I think it was Bill Laser that said it. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.760 It's on the kid the rookie to learn from those 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.520 guys and watch and ask questions as opposed to them 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.440 trying to, you know, teach him how to do it. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.880 Just watch, learn, listen, and go and go do your 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.720 job and it'll be an interesting scenario when it all 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.599 comes out there in training camp. But this is just 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.360 the baby steps right now, we remiss. We got condolences 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.320 to tarikoh and Tom and his family with the loss 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.960 of his brother this week. Super hard, super difficult for anybody, 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:36.039 certainly somebody in the spotlight here and rough road after 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.120 an ACL tear last year. He was looking forward to 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.400 getting back and working hard through his rehab to get 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.080 back on the field. But condolences to the Cohens Oh, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.200 no doubt about it, his entire family. I feel so 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.200 bad for him because when you receive information like that 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.599 and you're not prepared for it, you don't know how 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.520 you're gonna handle it. Because Tarik, already in his life, 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.760 has overcome so many stickles. When you talk about everything 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.880 that's always referred to they make reference to his size 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.240 and how that will fit into football, and he's been 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.800 able to come in here and Jeff, we've seen his 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.440 growth process from the first time we ever did an 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.280 interview with him at an event to how he's the 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.640 type of growth that he's shown to us in the 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.320 last couple of years. He's a super engaging, intelligent personality 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.440 who I really grown to appreciate. However, he's got to 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:34.000 be so supportive right now of his family like never before, 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:38.479 and so prayers and everything that goes out from the 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.479 entire Bears family and us as just individuals, and knowing 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.000 him as the person that he has become. All right, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.400 Coming up on the show tonight, we've got to Jim 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.760 Miller coming up from Serious Sex, MNFL Radio, the former 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.400 Bears quarterback. He'll spend some time with us as always tonight. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.400 At coming up at the bottom of the hour, the 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.920 rookie defensive back Patrick Graham out of Oregon will join 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.320 the program as he gets ready for his maiden voyage 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.080 in the NFL as well. Our producers tonight, Jordan Trent Up, 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.440 Dam Brelly, Julio Rosso and the Score Studios were brought 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.880 to you by GS Energy.

Hey, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.560 welcome back to Bears All Access brought to you by 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.359 IGS Energy.

With Tom there, Jeff, Jony Act, and we 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.120 welcome in our buddy Jim Miller from Serious Sex m 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.920 FL Radio is moving the chains with his buddy Pat Kerwin. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.280 Happy schedule release day, Jim Miller. It'll become official. We'll 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.120 have it off for you at six forty five. Much 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.120 of it's been leaked out all over the NFL landscape. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.320 Everybody works very hard on it. I'm sure you guys 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.400 had all the important games today as well, but the 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.080 one that matters the most for US Bears rams to 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.000 open things up against a team that believes it's the 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.599 Super Bowl contender, no question out there in La. Yeah, 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.479 you know, for the Bears one, good to be with 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.760 you guys again. And yeah, you know they're facing a 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.200 familiar quarterback who they know and Matthew Stafford. So I 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.159 think that immediately helps the Bears because that's a tough 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.840 road game. There'll be a lot of fans there supposedly, Uh, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.960 you know, we'll see what the state does out there. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.840 But so far stadium, they are expected to have fans 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.040 at the game so they can finally christen that stadium correctly. 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.520 So it should be, you know, a tough road game. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.320 You know, it's a it's a tough opening game against 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.880 the team that's world coached by Sean McBay and with 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.760 a new quarterback that really can sling it all over 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.880 the lot. But the Bears at least are familiar with 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.680 that style of play for Matthew Staffords and a couple 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.640 of more primetime games leaked out as well. Looks like 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.480 the Bears and lines back on Thanksgiving some night games 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.800 always with the Packers, you're gonna have one of those 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.320 that you can sketch it down at all times. But 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.640 again Tommy and I had around six forty five. Will 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.720 break it on down in more detail, but I you know, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.280 you kne who the opponents were. Jim and I brought 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.040 this up with Tom earlier today. I just love the quarterbacks. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.120 It's it's quite the collection of quarterbacks from young to old. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.000 The Bears are gonna face this year from Stafford and 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.040 Joe Burrow if he's health, thea Baker Mayfield you got, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.920 of course, the great Tom Brady. I'm assuming Aaron Rodgers 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.960 will still be in Green Bay, although Blake Bartle's reportedly 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.680 coming aboard late word here tonight. Kyler Murray, the excitement 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.800 of Kyler Murray, the excitement of Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.760 I mean, if Trey Lance is going to be in 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.280 the mix by at some point, or Jimmy Garoppolo's battle 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.640 there yet, Derek Carr, I mean, you name it, were 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.760 facing it this year and the Bears defense is going 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.680 to be tested across the board. Fellas, Yes, they really are. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.960 And you know that's a great group of quarterbacks that 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.480 they're gonna be facing. You know, you just look at 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.400 the overhaul on the AFC side of things. I mean, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.240 other than you know the veterans say like big Ben Rothisburg, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.120 I mean almost entirely, the AFC is overturned from all 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.679 older quarterbacks to younger quarterbacks. So and these are talented 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.199 players that are playing right away. They're have an impact 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.679 for their team. And we'll see this year how it 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.440 goes for young Trevor Lawrence drafted by the Jaguars, you know, 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.000 opening day for the Jets, and Zach Wilson is Sam 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.079 Donald gets to face them, tries to get a little revenge, 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.960 but the AFC clearly there has been an overhaul at 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.160 the quarterback spot. But the Bear's schedule, even with those 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.560 young quarterbacks, they got some savvy veterans that know how 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.720 to get it done. And it's a tough, tough group 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.120 of quarterbacks they'll be facing me. You know, we talk 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.200 a lot about quarterbacks, but when you talk about the 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.560 Bears opening game and you talk about Khalil Mack versus 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.640 Aaron Donald, you're talking about a monster preparation for both 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.079 offensive lines over there. Because now I don't think you 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.120 really have great mobility in Matthew Stafford, so that's gonna 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.320 put more pressure on the Rams offensive line, and you 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.080 have dominance by Aaron Donald, So that's gonna put a 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.880 lot of pressure on the Bears offensive line. Three sacks 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.560 in the first game of the year. Throughout his career, 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.000 Aaron Donald miss Week one in two thousand and seventeen 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.240 and all those sacks are at home, So yeah, he's 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.280 only has three of them in the first week of 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.959 the season. However, it's going to create some sleepless night 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.440 by the offensive line and where Aaron Donald will line 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.840 up because there's no guarantee he's gonna line up over 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.000 Cody Whitehair or over the right guard. He could be 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.840 camping out over the left tackle, whoever that is, or 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.000 he can even visit the right tackle. Aaron Donald has 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.359 that type of skill in the way his season concluded 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.839 with tears on the sideline during the playoff game. This 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.360 is gonna be an emotional game for Aaron Rodger or 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.720 Aaron Donald, just like it should be for Khalil Mack. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.120 And four months they get ready for him, Big Jim 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.959 So he's the defensive player of the year. Yeah, to 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.319 think about him, Tom's already sweating as if he's playing him. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.640 Tom's already sweating. I could see it on his brow. Yeah, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.320 Tom would have a sleepless night for four months I 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.120 would think about But you know, it starts this weekend 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.720 with the rookie minicamp. They're already going from phase one 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.240 to phase two. He's starting to break these these rookies 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.679 in and you know, I'm exciting time. You know, I'm 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.000 just glad they're they're back in the building. I'm glad 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.599 they're back in their work and everybody's going to be 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.360 able to conduct a full offseason here and yeah, they'll 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.520 have the protocols and everything set up for the players, 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.120 but it's good to see it's already happening this early 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.959 around the NFL. From Sean Desai, first year defensive coordinator 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.560 ninth year with the Bears. He mentioned this the time 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.240 he was promoted to the position. He re emphasized it 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.920 again today what he wants the defense to look like 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.240 moving forward for the twenty twenty one Chicago Bears. You 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.600 I want this defense to be palpable. I want people 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.360 around the city and around the country in the world 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.880 that's watching this defense, whether it's live or on tape, 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.199 to make sure they know the type of defense that 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.959 we are. Whether you're a football fan or not, you're 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:44.280 gonna field his defense physically and emotionally. And I think 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.640 that's that's that's something that we're hoping to hang our 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.120 hats on. Tom. When you hear that emotionally as well, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.360 that means he wants these guys fired up, playing with 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.720 the hair on fire, reckless, abandoned the whole bit. And 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.000 you know we've been asking for that. We've been asked 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.959 for a very aggressive make it make it so that 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.920 you dread playing this defense. Do they have the guys 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.120 to pull that off, the kype of mentality he's looking for. Yeah, 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.240 they have the type of guys that can pull this off, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.880 and they have growth and development. When you talk about 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.400 Pro bowlers and all three levels, when you talk about 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.880 a Key Hicks and you talk about Khalil Mack, you 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.000 talk about Rokuan Smith, you talk about Eddie Jackson and 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.600 how the other pieces fit into place. But then he 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.720 also talks about the spirit of the defense, the physical approach, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.760 and the emotional approach, because look, man, you cannot go 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.120 out and play football emotionless. On the side of the 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.080 Super Bowl ring that we want. Mike Ditka has a 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.880 word and it's called ace, and it's attitude, character and enthusiasm. 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.720 And whether you're Mike Dipke in the eighties, are Sean 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.520 Dasai in the two thousands, emotions they got to be 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.520 at a high point. When you talk about the way 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.319 a defense has to play at this level throughout the 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.960 whole season, all seventeen games, I think it's you know, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:06.120 it's about heart and obviously emotional playing emotional like like 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.920 Tom talked about, but you gotta have that pride, you 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.080 know you as a player got to have that pride 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.560 what you want to accompt here to look at the 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.920 paris they were on be able to often. You know 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:22.080 what we've talked plenty of a soft season about offensive accountability. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.880 That the offense has got to do better is cantem 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.600 drops on the board and preserve the defense that was 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.199 really thrown to the Wolves and there were still an 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.319 eleventh overall defense. I think if they don't love as 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.520 many plays as they did defensively, they're definitely a top 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.320 ten defense. Really, all they've lost is the corner in full. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.440 So I think, you know this is the that can 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.880 be a top ten defense again. But we're gonna need 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.120 to help on an offensive side of the ball some 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.840 account of clue there. But heart and pride is what 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.000 I say, you know will be a little bit more rest. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.240 Hey Jim, we're gonna have to have you read dial 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.480 because you're losing and you're dropping out on your line. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.480 Help us out there if you can, we'll get back 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.440 to you. Coming out of a break up, Bill Shoey, 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.920 Tom the outside linebackers coach, now really was asked a 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.840 lot of questions about Robert Quinn and his production and 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.920 that is a big component of this too. It's not 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.080 like there's something broke there. I don't think, you know, 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.080 I think it's something He's got, the ability, he's got 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:23.040 the career production. You know, we we and my job 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.680 will be to make sure that he's put in positions 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.080 where he can he can make more plays, and I 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.840 think he's looking forward to doing that. I also think 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.640 it's going to come out and balancing out the reps 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.360 to time we get of the timeliness of getting him 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.480 into the games of the right situations where he construct, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.240 you know, be at his best. Temmy, what do you 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.960 think I'd be licking my jobs if I was Robert Quinn, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.640 Because there are extremely high expectations for the reason he 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.920 was signed to come here for the Bears. And when 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.680 you look at that opening opponent for the Rams, I said, 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.480 Matthew Stafford. He doesn't move around that. You know, he's 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.960 not going to be a Kyler Murray. He's gonna be 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.960 Matthew Stafford. So if they can get that push from 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.280 Achima Khalil on the other side, Robert Quinn should be 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.080 open to those sack opportunities. And he talks about how 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.200 Robert Quinn has to finish the play, and you finish 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.000 that play by either strip sacking the ball like he 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.120 did the first opportunity he had the Russia passer this 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.320 past year. And I listen, man, I see Robert Quinn 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.800 out of practice, and he works hard. He's the type 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.080 of guy if he comes in here, if he's healthy 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.800 and physically ready to go, there's gonna be concerns from 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.120 him for him by every offensive coordinator, all right. And 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.120 the topic also of Trevis Gibson learning that position without 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.280 the benefit of a complete offseason last year. That hurts 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.200 players like that. All the coaches agree on that. And 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.120 also you got Jeremiah touch You coming aboard as well, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.240 pass rusher. When we come back, we'll rejoin Jim Miller, 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.120 Thomas Graham, the Bear's safety excuse me, cornerback coming up 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:55.880 at the bottom of the hour as well. This is 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:57.960 Bears All Access, brought to you by I Gess Energy 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:03.000 in Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the School, the Chicago 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.760 Bears Network presents Inside the Bears, brought to you buy 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.200 a Verizon our good balient that the Adams, that our 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.640 friend Laurence Greeden cover the world of Bears football, Hunted 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.800 off the field, every sundayd I ten thirty five pm 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.840 on Fox thirty two Chicago, or watch anytime at Chicago 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.520 bears dot com or on the Bears official app with 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:23.400 Tom Thayer, Jim Miller, Serious Sex, NFL Radios, Moving the Chains, Jim, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.040 We're here from offensive coordinator Bill Laser later this afternoon. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:28.760 I'm not certain you got a chance to hear that 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.360 we're gonna play a chunk right here, but I do 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:36.040 appreciate one. Coaches like himself say that they feel a 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.880 great responsibility when you got a rot talent like he's 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.480 bringing in here with Justin Fields to help develop up 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.920 balancing that act of you know, having a starting quarterback 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.400 of veteran in uh Andy Dalton and another one on 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:53.040 the roster and Nick Foles. I probably think more of 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.800 a responsibility to the development player like and I've talked 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.880 to Justin about that. But with every as a coach, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.600 I think you feel, you know, personally, I feel personal 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.640 responsibilities to these guys. Again, I like working with adults, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.520 but you can, I think you can still affect people's lives, 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.719 you know, in all seriousness, and so I try, I 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.960 try to have a responsibility to affect their lives in 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.320 a positive way number one outside of football. Number Two, 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.320 I want them to feel like I also have their 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.919 best interests in mind. Even if if the decision I 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.720 have to make or the opinion I have to give 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:35.000 to Matt and Ryan on personal decisions, it's got to 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.080 start with what's the best thing for us to win 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.199 winning games. But at the same time, I want, hopefully 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.600 I've built the trust with them that they also know 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.679 that that I have their personal development as a player 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.600 in mind and that I'm only going to help them 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.360 as best that I possibly can. And I think the thing, 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.280 the thing that I learned when you come to this 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.679 league from college, is you know, especially when you're a 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.520 young coach, well, how's it going to be dealing with 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.080 some guys that are the same age as you? Right, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.879 the first time I was in NFL quarterback coach, the 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:12.520 quarterback was actually older than me by just a little bit, okay, 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.320 And so how do you how do you get them 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.040 to listen to you? Like, all these things go through 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:21.320 your mind. And someone, a friend who predating me joining 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.240 the NFL told me a start by you know, coaching 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.800 the young guys, we exactly what you know, and you 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.800 just as soon as you show them that you can 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.840 help them be better, that you can make them a 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.960 better player. Like that, the bond, the trust, it all 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.840 falls into place and it's just coaching. And so I 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:44.080 hope that that that they know and I've described that 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:45.840 to Justin, but I hope that they know that I 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.479 have their best interest as a player in mind also 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.879 and that I take responsibility and helping them develop. And 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:54.959 you know, there's only so many things you can focus 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.200 on once, So I let them know I care about 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.000 him as a person, do what I think is better 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:01.920 for the team to win, and then and then hopefully 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.200 they can feel that I'm trying to help him become 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.320 a better player. And I really think in the development 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.399 the long if I can be focused on those three things, 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:12.960 and I gotta trust that the big picture is going 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.720 to take care of himself. Boy, I counted about six 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.119 words in their trust Jim Miller about that and that 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.440 trust thing. If for a quarterback comes into a situation 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:26.920 like this, a veteran, a rookie, is that the number one? 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.520 Uh yeah, I think from the coach said all the 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.720 things I needed to hear. One, am I making the 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.000 player better? You know, players will buy in. It doesn't 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.919 matter you know, where you've coached before, or even if 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.480 you haven't played the game of football. A player is 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.600 going to judge their coach by is he making me 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.720 a better player? And if you've got that that call 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.840 buy in, you're gonna work harder and that player is gonna, 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.920 you know, have that trust because he knows that, hey, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.200 how this guy is coaching me. I feel I've made 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.440 improvements and I bettered my game. And as coach said, 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.879 he takes great responsibility in bringing quarterbacks along, and that 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:10.000 should be true at any position for any coach, because 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.840 it's a foundational block. When you get to the NFL 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.920 your first year, that's that's your foundation, right and then 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.040 those building blocks are moving on. You know, you keep 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.880 on building every single year with another building block. And 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:24.800 I think for players, they got to be if you 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.639
