A great couple of days up 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.760 here at Hollis Hall Bears opening training camp pads. Aren't 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.920 I yet till Monday, but a pleasant, good evening to everyone. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.400 I'm Jeff Johnny ac Well. I'm a broadcast partner Tom 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.239 Fare from news Radio one oh five nine w BBM. 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.040 Welcome at everybody to six seventy The Score, brought to 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.800 you by IGS Energy, our producer Jordan Trutup and Season 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.320 Press Tonight handling things at the Score, Big Tom Fair. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.960 A lot to break down, a lot of things to 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.320 look yet I'm gonna start the whole proceedings though with 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.560 Luke Getsy today on the progress of Justin Fields. So 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.800 far from where we started, for sure, we still have 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.000 a long way to go, though UMU as far as 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.400 like attacking the system and the knowledge of the system, 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.360 what's going on around him. I think he's done a 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.679 great job with that part of it. Now it's just 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.039 getting the experience in those reps and the and the 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.679 cool part about it is, you know, in a couple 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.319 more days we get to put pads on, this thing 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.880 gets to be real. You know, these these helmet practices 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.840 are great because you get timing and rhythm and stuff 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.760 like that. But um, this game is a fuel game, 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.280 and the only way you get the real feels if 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.000 it's the real thing. And so these these reps that 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.840 will be coming down the road, you will be will 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.319 be super important for him, and they sure will. Tommy's 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.720 so basically echoing what you say all the time. Right, Well, Lucas, 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.759 exactly right. I'm not a fan of no pad and football. However, 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.040 from what we've seen carry over from the OTAs of 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.600 the mandatory mini camp now in a training camp, the 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.200 speed in which they're playing with they're practicing with is 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.560 impressive and I think everybody can benefit from that. Even 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.120 though they're not in pads, they are being a little 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.440 bit as they are being as as aggressive as you 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.960 can be without pads on. And I think once next 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.040 week gets here. It's gonna be interesting to watch the 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.239 whole process that Luke talks about about the temple of practice, 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.400 about the readiness of the team once they break the huddle, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.079 and the understanding by everybody. So you know, you're gonna 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.120 get guys like Riley Reef have a better understanding of 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.560 the system by the time they get into full pads. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.280 So you know, there's a lot of competition out there, 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.480 a lot of specific competition at positions, but there's nothing 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.680 like padded football, because that's what everybody wants to see. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.520 But like I said, I'm encouraged at the speed in 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.200 which they're practicing at. Yeah, Riley Reef at left tackle 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.840 a little bit today, rotating with Braxton Jones. Tevin Jenkins 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.680 not at practice today at right tackle, and then Senator 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.119 Lucas Patrick left. Uncertain reasons why, but we'll learn more 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.200 maybe here in the coming days. Overall time, execution offensively 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.840 not as move today, but there were also some big 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.960 places and we're gonna talk to Justin Fields coming up 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.560 at around six ten. A couple of segments for about 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.679 twenty minutes with Justin Fields, our interview with him. Overall time, 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.960 Luke Ketchy wants to see the execution clean up. Yeah. No, 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.320 so coach created really good situations for us. So what 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.120 we've done, we've done situational football, but we've kind of 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.880 isolated those situations. But coach did a great job today. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.600 It was putting them in to like in the middle 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.120 of the practice, spontaneous, so the guys didn't have a 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.120 chance to prepare you know if you will, And so 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.519 those were great reps. You saw we jumped twice and 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.080 we came back and did a third time, and we 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.560 did we executed it really well. That's something that we 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.040 talked about as a staff that we want to do 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.240 more of. Instead of just putting it at the end 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.080 of practice and saying, hey, this is how we do it, 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.920 let's actually put it in the middle of the practice 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.560 and let these guys react to it. So that's that's 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.440 that's exactly why we did that. Did that so we 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.200 can make sure that these guys can stay poised, not 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.760 let that chaos that happens when you're trying to beat 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.000 a replay or was it a catch not a catch, 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.080 or we're trying to run and then the defense makes 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:00.880 a call on the front trying to get you to 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.560 jump and then that's what we did. We did jump 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.760 and hurrying up to get to the last scrimmag chop 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.720 tempo tempo tempo. Yeah. But you know, I like the 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.760 way the coaches are scripting the practices, Jeff, because I 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.680 think everybody, every segment, no mare, where you're on the 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.800 field with the down a distance, everybody can benefit from it. 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.000 Because once the players go home, that's really when the 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.120 coach's meeting starts, and then they have to get together 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.000 and they have to script the plays they want to 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.039 see run the next day, and then they can put 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.520 the players in some pressure I situation that they can 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.600 get an evaluation of how they react to it. Is 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.560 it an immediate snap count, is it a one decision 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.159 read by justin fields? Are they putting pressure on an 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.200 isolated cornerback. Is there a mismatch between a tight end 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.760 and maybe a linebacker and a safety. So it is fun, 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.440 but you really have to pay attention to practice to 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.680 look at the countless hours these coaches are putting in 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.360 to making sure these scripts are not only putting pressure 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.800 on the players, but they're gonna benefit them in the 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.800 long run. We talked about Cole Commett all the time 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.480 about breakout season for him again, top tenant yards, targets, 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.800 and catches over the last week nine to week seventeen 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.440 of the season last year. Back shoulder throw on the 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:18.320 team today from Justin fields it's something significant. Yeah, I mean, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.040 that's that's a throw. We've been working a lot this 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.320 all season, so it's it was pretty cool to ask 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.040 you that today on the field. Yeah, knew exactly reason 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.000 to throw that with the leverage I had on the guy, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.640 and that was really cool to see. So we'll definitely 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.320 build on that and build on the money relationship. So 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.800 you got Commet, you got money. That's where Justin is 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:39.000 going right now with some clarity and some chemistry talents. Yeah, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.680 but Jeff, you talk about Cole Commett, you talk about 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.320 Darnell Mooney, talk about Jalen Johnson, talk about Eddie Jackson. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.280 Because these out of the guys that are going to 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.520 have the coverage responsibilities against these talented receivers. So when 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.880 I go back in practice, not necessarily watching teamwork, watching 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.279 one on ones, see how Cole Commet and Eddie Jackson 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.679 play against each other and who's the most disruptive force 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.240 when they're going wide receiver, defensive back, one on ones, 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.240 just like I think it's going to be incredible battles 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.200 between Jalen Johnson and Darnell Mooney through the training camp practices. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.039 In another one, pay attention to this one Valis Jones 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.400 verse Kyler Gordon, because I think you're gonna see a 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.360 significant amount of reps and when the pads come on 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.000 it is I listen, man. I've never been a big 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.720 fan of one on ones with wide receivers and defensive 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.359 backs because it's kind of unrealistic. But these battles that 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.120 are developing in the early stages our camp are going 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.800 to be fun to watch, and they're playfully john with 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.159 each other a little bit. Those two Vennis Jones Junior 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.719 and the second round cornerback a couple of big places 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.640 today Eddie Jackson with a pick six and Lamar Jackson 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.440 six two two o eight. Noticed him in mini camp. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.720 The body is just ideal for that position. He's long, athletic, 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.479 a second year men out of Nebraska free agent added 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.080 to the rush or in twenty two Here, Tom, you 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.919 pointed him out too to me today, right, you know 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.960 the young kid out of Nebraska defensive back six two, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.400 two hundred pounds plus but then you got Harry, the 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.400 wide receiver that they recently brought in. These are a 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.680 couple of interesting guys to pay attention to see if 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.560 they're gonna earn their opportunity to win jobs in this field. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.240 And Nikkil Harry big guy is going up can high 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.600 point the ball can run through defensive back coverage. And 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.840 when you talk about how important it is for Justin 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.000 to have these types of targets, I think there's gonna 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.440 be a lot of competition out there on the offensive 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.520 side of the ball. Time for break Tam. When we 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.720 come back, we'll visit with Justin Fields. QB one joins 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.680 us here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the score 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.200 but the back of there's all access brut to you 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.520 by IGS Energy Juice Clean Energy for your home IGS 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.160 dot com because every good choice adds up to a 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.280 better world. Training camp underway with Tom there, I'm Jeff 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.040 Jonahak and please to be joined by the starting quarterback 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:13.400 in your Chicago Bears, Justin Fields. I know your time 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.040 is valuable, so we appreciate it. Thank you so much. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.240 I know saying something like being excited as an understatement, 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.760 but how excited are you? Because you're the guy and 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.800 this is your team now, Yeah for sure. I mean 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.360 if there was a skill, I don't I don't think 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.240 I can you know, name that skill. I think everybody 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.680 in the buildings, you know, very excited to get things going. 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.560 And um, you know, I think everybody's had a great 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.320 break and you know, I've been working very hard, so 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.719 you know, everybody's just decided to, you know, finally get 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.520 to play some real football out. Did you need a 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.959 little bit of time just to reset a little bit 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.319 after the offseason, a lot to learn, a lot of people, 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.479 to get to know you, got so many new teammates, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.439 and just put yourself in the right frame of mind 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.400 to begin this process. Yeah, for sure. I think you know, 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.360 a good reset is always needed, especially you know with 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.640 the length of this season. So, um, it's it's it's 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.640 it's finally time to lock in now. So again, everybody's here, 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.280 everybody's focused, and um, everybody's ready to get going. Just 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.000 and I gotta ask you one fun question before we 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.240 get to the serious football. When you stood at home, 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.800 played at Wrigley Field and you hit a home run 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.960 out of that stadium, did that surprise you? Because for 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:24.760 you and the rest of the guys that were able 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.800 to hit home runs. I've been in that park my 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.040 whole life growing up in this area. Did it surprise 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.760 you when you were able to take it out of 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.880 the out of the park? All right, So I'll tell you, 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.800 like everything that went down. So I think I was 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.720 the fourth guy to go, and then I saw three 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.200 guys that you know, didn't really Cole went before me, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.040 but I knew Cole was the only guy that like 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.480 played baseball seriously. But when I saw like two other guys, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.400 you know, they were hitting ground roll doubles like one 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:49.760 hop in the fance, I was like, all right, I 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.680 might be able to get one out. So, um, after 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.640 I saw that, you know, I hit my first one, 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.760 it was it wasn't that deep. In the second one 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.080 that I hit it, I mean it went, you know, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.160 out of the stadium, like you said. So it was 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.520 it was just crazy being there, crazy having that experience, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.040 and um, you know, it was just an awesome moment 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:07.800 for you know, everyone on the team. So yeah, it was. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.560 It was. It was crazy for sure. Well impressive because 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.840 it's something I know I couldn't do. But one of 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.080 the similarities my first year with the Bears. I came 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.199 to the Bears after they got beat in the NFC 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.679 Championship game, and really, my first year was so competitive, 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.559 you're trying to earn a position, trying to respect. It 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.200 wasn't a lot of fun. It was just hard work. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.520 Is this year do you feel it can gonna be 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.720 a lot more fun because of what you went through 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:40.160 last year? Uh? Yeah, I think you know, if you're 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.520 not having fun playing football, then kind of you know, 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.400 just have to take a step back because excuse me, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.280 but kind of just have to take a step back 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.520 because you know, we've we've pretty much everyone on this 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.480 team has been playing footballs, you know, since since a 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.559 young age. So um, you know, I think a lot 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.840 of guys once they started stop having fun with it, 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.240 then you know, they you know, start playing a game 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.640 for the wrong reason. But um, yeah, just you know, 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.280 being able to have fun, you know, being able to 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:07.640 get out there and you know, feel like a little 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.760 kid again and just just just kind of play play 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.000 with your teammates and you know, build that relationship throughout 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.200 the season and you know, at this time, this point 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.200 in time, right now, I think it's you know great 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.960 for everyone. So um, you know, I'm excited for this year, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.959 and you know, just the just the laid backness of 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.840 the coaches and just kind of how they, you know, 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.480 go about things. When it's time to work, it's time 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.160 to work, but they also know, have fun at the 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.080 same time. So I think we have a great culture 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.600 here for sure. Bears quarterback Justin Fields our guest here 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.120 on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score. This is 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.240 Bears All Access and it's brought to you by IGS Energy. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.920 With Tom there Jeff Jonik. I want to go back 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.040 to the baseball thing for a minute, because talk about 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.360 being a little kid. I watched the Bears do the 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.120 documentary nineteen twenty Football Drive. I do the voice over it, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.000 but I didn't get to go to Wrigley Field with 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.960 you guys. But it wasn't just the home run derby. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.800 It was bags. It was stacking of the cups and 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.440 just seeing the raw enthusiasm and the childlike reaction to 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.199 being somewhere other than a football field really stuck with me. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.040 That you guys, and I think you alluded it earlier 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.679 this week at the news conference here at Hollis Hall, 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.200 that you feel the team is closer this year which 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.840 is strange to say a little bit, because there's only 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.240 twenty seven guys still here from the sixty three that 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.080 wound up on the roster at the end of last year. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:32.120 So was that a terrific experience just for off the 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.840 field bonding and just to be just the raw fun 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.400 of being a kid again. Yeah, I mean it was 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.679 a great experience, you know, kind of like kind of 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.800 my first you know, time doing something like that. Just 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.400 being in that environment, being at Wrigley, Um, it was. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.120 It was awesome, you know. Uh, just kind of hanging 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.000 out with their people there too, and kind of learning 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.680 the history there. We got to go to the locker 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.280 room and stuff like that. So again just having everyone 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.679 you know in the locker room, on the field, um, 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.679 you know, all just bonding with each other. I mean, 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.240 it was, it was, it was. It was awesome time. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.760 And we should doubt your ability to to knock the 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.760 ball out of the park because you were an excellent 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.160 baseball player. Did you have visions of being a pro 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:11.320 baseball player ever? Uh? I did? You know, Um, my 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.840 late years of high school, I didn't play baseball my 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.800 senior year in high school, but my junior year I did, 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.640 and then of course I graduated high school earlier to 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.200 go play football. But um, you know, my dad really 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.719 pushed me as a baseball player, probably more than I 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.439 wanted to be pushed, you know. I think football was 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.200 kind of you know, my my, uh, you know, first love. 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.920 But um, you know baseball. I grew up playing baseball 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.120 since a young age too, and you know, doing traveling 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.599 and all that stuff. So um, you know, just of 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.880 or it's just you know, having that and you know, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.320 being playing I guess at the top level. Uh, you know, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.280 baseball kind of all my life. You know, you you 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.840 kind of do have those aspirations of you know, I 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.200 could be a major league baseball player. Did you pitch? 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.360 I pitched a little bit, but I stopped pitching around 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.840 fourteen years old. So yeah, come at with something. I mean, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.400 he he looked like Mickey Mantle up there. I mean 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.360 he hit him out with these I mean, just seeing 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.960 cold up there. I didn't I definitely didn't didn't see 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.480 that coming for sure. Well, I will say as an 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.120 ex off with Sublime, and I'm more impressed with Tevin 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.959 Jenkins being able to crush one out just to give 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.680 the big guys a little bit of their due. You know, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.959 you know, Jesse, when I this off season, when I 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.600 was watching the speed in which the defense was playing 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.120 in all of OTA's and mini camp and any everything, 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:31.000 how how beneficial was that for you in order to 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:36.800 practice against the defense that as playing at that that speed. Yeah, 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.800 I mean, you know that's one, uh, one of our 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.640 team qualities is you know, always play fast and finished fast. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.600 So you know, just seeing a defense, you know, always 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.200 trying to punch the ball out, always trying to create 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.880 turn on was that's definitely gonna help me. It's gonna 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.680 help you know, everyone on offense just kind of see 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.480 their energy and um, you know, of course, you know 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.920 once that season rose around, you know, them having uh, 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.120 you know, most of the turnovers a game and you know, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.800 creating chaos for the other teams often that's just gonna 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.440 help the whole team. From from the first play you 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.040 called at the beginning of OTAs until the last play 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.480 you called at the end of the mandatory mini caamp 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.200 did it seemed like an entirely different operation. Because you 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.960 became more familiar with it, you started to understand the talent, 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.120 You understood what the help that you were getting out 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.760 of the offensive line and you know, you got Mooney, 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.080 you got a Cole, you got Montgomery, guys that you're 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.000 familiar with. Didn't feel like a different operation at the 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.560 end of the OTAs a mini caamp than it did 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.000 at the very first day. Yeah, for sure. You know, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.400 Luke Getzy, he kind of threw a lot at us, 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.280 you know, the whole OTA's whole mini caamp. So I think, 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.080 you know, towards the beginning of it, guys were kind 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.080 of swimming, Guys were just trying to find their way, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.560 you know, just you know, making sure they know everything 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.680 to do. But of course as we got along through OTAs, 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.000 through mandatory mini camp, you know, guys were feeling more 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.320 and more comfortable. So I think that's gonna be the 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:55.960 biggest part of part of camp is just you know, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.240 building every day, getting more and more comfortable and making 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.400 sure you know, guys are you know, luck and the 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.920 whole time, and you know, just just staying healthy. So um, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.600 but I think, you know, the more you know we're 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.600 in this offense, the more reps we get, you know, 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:13.360 it's it's just an inevitable, uh, just the you know 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.080 the amount of comfort that we're gonna fill in this 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.120 offense and stuff like that. So Justin fields our guests 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.680 here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score, Tim 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.960 and Jeff with you. I will have Justin for another 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.640 segment as well, wrapping up this one. Uh, can you 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.040 describe what you're welcome to? The NFL moment was that 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:34.000 you can build off? Everybody knows that one, but uh, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.960 it was the second preseason game last year Bills. I 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.520 put a double move on the backside and you know, 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.480 was hot and the linebacker came and crushed me. I 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.040 mean that the hit definitely looked worse on TV than 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.920 it felt, but that was definitely, you know, welcome to 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.040 the Uh. The NFL moment from that was the smelling 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.000 thoughts that you didn't need right right, but you know 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.440 you've taken some pops. I mean everybody goes back to 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.440 the college tape and we remember the big games, that 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.119 Clemson game for example, But you know, you are you know, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.520 coach talk today about being resilient.
