Good to have you 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.680 with us and Prince, thanks for taking the time. We're 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.160 gonna spend a ton of time on this. This is 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.360 a massive matchup. I know it's one game at a 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.559 time approach, but the national media is in town, so 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.319 the locker room has a lot more activity in it 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.320 this week. You feel it, Yeah, yeah, we do. And UM, 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.200 I mean we knew just with the way that the 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.119 Rams been playing all season and the way we've been 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.200 playing and when they flex, when they flexed the game, 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.280 we knew that this game was gonna be surrounded by 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.520 um by a lot of hype. But um, we're built 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.520 for it. We've played on Sunday nights a lot of 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.920 times and um, and to be honest, I mean, I 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.600 think this is a great test for both teams. I 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.559 think the Rams has been in some playoff atmosphere type 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.160 games and um, and we've been in a couple of them. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.240 But I think this is since this is the next one. 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.960 Like you said, I think this is this is the 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.320 biggest one. You know, Prince, I watched a lot of 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.400 football and I haven't seen a lot of the Rams 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.200 yet this year. So in the cross games that you 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.680 played throughout your system, have you seen the Rams in 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.960 preparation for other teams because the Rams are on the cutups, 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.320 or have you not seen very much of them up 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.800 into this this week of preparation? I would say I 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.400 have seen him a lot because I've watched them on TV. 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.000 So like that shootout game versus Kansas City, saw that 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.400 and uh, and then I seen their Packers game, and 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.960 then I've seen their their Saints game live on TV. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:19.679 What do you think of the Chiefs game in the 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.480 Saints game, since those are the two of the best 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.840 teams in the league along with you guys, right, Um, 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.080 I mean, just a lot of offense, a lot of 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.240 a lot of points and um, you see a lot 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.200 of momentums being being changed. And I mean what Jared 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.560 Goff is doing this year, I think I think it's amazing. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.160 And I think he's in his third year and um, 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.440 of course with the help of his coach, coach UH 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.480 coach Sean and then um, the weapons they have. I mean, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.920 I think he's he's been taking it to another level, 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.400 you know. And in preparation for the Rams, for a 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:56.119 defensive back, what's for difficult in the communication? What's more 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.240 difficult in a formation change right before the snap of 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.960 the ball, your field position or kind of a new 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.400 formation out of the huddle that you haven't seen before. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.040 I would say, I mean, I think it depends what 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.079 the call is. So I mean, if we're if we're 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.640 in a man call and they do a formation change. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.720 Now we have to okay, like where's our where's our 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.280 guy going? Like what's the um We have to get 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.280 on our guy And it could be depending on the call, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.040 just because like most defenses they have like it. It's 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.280 almost like a check with me call, meaning to a 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.720 two play call. So if if they come out of 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.680 this formation, you play this. If they come out in 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.960 another formation, you play this. So if if they line 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.880 up an empty one formation, okay, we haven't check to that. 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.560 Then if they go to something else, it's like, okay, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.280 now we have to make sure everyone's on the same 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.560 page and see it and see it and see it 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.440 the same way. So you don't get wide open guys. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.120 I mean I'm talking kind of laugh about it now, 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.680 like you see in New York. So you make sure 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.520 everyone's on the same page. Well I'm saying because just 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.400 because it's it's behind us, but you want to get 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.360 on the same page so you don't get wide open guys. 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:02.920 And when you see wide open guys like that, it's 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.720 usually okay, someone might it's a it's a bust, and 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.400 someone might have not gotten the check. Not many busts 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.560 this year, so even if you get a couple, is 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:16.120 it really it is an unsettling I think it is unsettling, unsettling, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.640 and it's very and it's disappointing just because, um, we 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.159 see how we've seen how great we can be, and 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.800 I think it just like it's more, it's more like 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.600 come on, like we're better than that. Like there's a 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.560 standard we want to hold. And anytime we hurt ourselves, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.320 um yeah, we'd rather the team hurt us than us 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.719 hurt ourselves. Prince and Mukamar our guest here on Bears 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.920 All Access, Jeff jonny Acc and Tom Thing. We'll step 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.279 away for our first break. You're at Chicago Sports Radio 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:47.719 six seventy the score. Welcome back to be proud partner 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.120 Riding Electricity and natural Gas and home worn new products 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.680 go for one million customers across the country. Were more 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.600 about IGS Energy and igs dot Com. Jeff Jonnyac along 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.360 with Tom There, Prince and Mukamar and our helper today, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.479 Dan Barelli and Jordan trut Up as we get you 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.520 set for Bears and Rams. I looked it up just 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.440 for kicks because veteran players, we always analyze how many 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.640 games you play at how many years but it's more 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.080 important than how many snaps. And so does it shock 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.520 you You've had over fifty six hundred snaps in your 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.440 NFL playing life right now, that's a lot of snaps. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.280 I mean, I don't know if it's allowed to have 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.280 to compare it. Okay, don't you think I don't know yet, 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.800 I don't have to compare it. It's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.080 I would say so, yeah, especially with especially with the 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.200 number of games I've missed. Yeah, I'm trying to reach 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.200 one hundred games, so hopefully that comes soon. Well, you know, 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.080 durability at the cornerback position is extremely valuable because they 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.960 don't take you guys off the field. It's not interchangeable. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.040 So it does speak to you, know, your ability to 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.480 hang tough in there. And the way you guys are 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.040 asked to play is physical to me, So Victor and you, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.920 why don't you play physical? Do you feel those fifty 0:05:55.920 --> 0:06:02.520 six hundred snaps? No? Because I think in the off season, like, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.160 So's it's funny. I think it's it's an all football players. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.240 So it's like during during the season, it's like I 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.640 only got two or three more years one year maybe, 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.000 But in the off season, it's like, Wow, I could play. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.240 I could play five more years. I mean, even even 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.640 on bye week. I feel like the mood is different 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.719 and stuff like that. And I remember, I'm a player 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.080 told me last year like when you when you start 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.480 taking um pain pills to get through to get through practice, 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.280 it might be like it might it might be time 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.480 taking up so and I've been doing good or night. 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.520 I don't even take anti inflammatoris or any type of 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.640 pain pills, so I've been good to knock out. But 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.760 you know, you think it's kind of a little bit 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.839 of juice during a player's career because you've been around 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.840 for a while. Some of them unusual fun that Matt 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.720 Naggie has brought along this season, you know, with the 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.719 postgame celebrations with the defensive players inside the offensive huddle, 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.839 because that's been a spark of fun for you, whether 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:04.280 it's the postgame celebration or the on field stuff. Yeah, 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.080 I would say, I mean, I would just categorize it 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.920 as like winning this winning can make you feel younger. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.680 I mean, and I could see like why Tom's probably 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:18.320 been Tom Bradsman probably playing song just because just because 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.559 you're winning. It's like, I think things are going better, 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.720 that it's not always there's not always a raining cloud 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.400 over over over the building and stuff like that. And um, 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.200 feedback when you on what you said, Tom is is 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:35.320 that yes, the dancing being you, it's uh, it's it's lively, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.120 it's it's vibrant, especially having like the young guys on 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.480 this team and their energy. I think all of it, Um, 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.760 all of it makes sense of that. So I have 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.000 a question. So there's already been talk that Mitchell Trubisky 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.720 had a full participation practice today, And you've been around 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.640 for a long time now, given the different scenarios you 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:59.160 face and your approach to tackling quarterbacks, has it changed 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.280 because of like how they try to coddle these guys 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.360 in some sentence, some sentence, But if it's a fourth 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.800 and one on the quarterbacks coming at you, I mean, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.120 do you judge how you have to hit them? As 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.160 that approach to tackling quarterbacks changed throughout your career in 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.040 the NFL, or your even your physical sense of when 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.120 you get a chance to hit them, I would say 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.680 this year more than any year for sure, just because 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.680 I feel like they've the league, the refs, they've emphasized 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.000 like hey, if you if it looks like you've hit 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:35.280 a quarterback too hard or landed on them too much, um, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.160 we're going to We're gonna find you and and we're 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.960 gonna penalize, uh you and your team. So I would 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.720 say this year more than more than any year. Me myself, 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.200 I don't think I've been in contact with the with 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.280 the with a quarterback enough times uh to to to 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.199 judge it really, except when the quarterbacks running out of sideline, 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.559 and I know that's the like that's the easiest way 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.559 to get a penalty, even to even touch them. So 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.439 I just make sure, Um I just forced him, force 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.760 him to the sideline. I mean, I think of mits 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.760 running the ball, But then I think about you, Okay, 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.920 Cam Newton is going for a fourth and one. Ben 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.679 Roethlisberger's going, you know, Deshaun Watson, any of these guys 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.280 that are clever or have size to him. I I 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.040 that's one of the weird elements about defensive football that's 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.560 had to change for you guys, is seven years when 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.320 you came in the league, you're jacking the guy up. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.559 Now you're kind of cautious, you know, cautiously approaching the 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.360 situation exactly and I think I think it's the fear 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.560 of just just getting the flags and and just earning 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.600 the team. I mean, like I think uh claint Matthew 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.240 has been a poster boy for that uh a lot 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.400 this year, and I mean I feel like his his 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.120 hits um have been have been clean and um yeah, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.800 I mean it's just unfortunate. Text you're a black shirt, buddy. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.600 And did you see how he threw Matthew Stafford down 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.839 like a rag doll? Last week? Did? Got? He got 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.400 a penalty for it, he got, He got a couple 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.480 of penalties last week again for he does I don't 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.680 think he cares, won't way or another. So you know 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.040 that'll be something to keep an eye on on Sunday 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.720 that that could just touch off quite the quite the 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.840 melee if he gets a little nasty on right right right, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.520 I could Yeah, I could see that too, especially well 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.920 you know that guy. UM know him pretty well, and 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.920 I've gotten to know him a lot more um off 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.400 the field, just because um he's like a business guru 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.040 and he knows how to um, he knows what he's 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.600 the he's the epitome of of the of a guy 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.240 of what it looks like to carry themselves well off 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.880 the field as as a business minded individual. Soul Um, 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.480 I kind of been under him and been texting him 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:41.839 about different questions and different um different different ideas of 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.839 ferocious cat Yes on Sundays, a ferocious gut body pales 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.240 in comparison to the guy he's playing next to. Well, 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.080 when you look in terms of quality, you know, style 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.000 and substance. But I'm well, a nasty factor you got, 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.200 you got right, I mean, adopticasu is there. But if 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.520 you look at the the initial media, that destructive position 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.520 that Aaron Donald can put himself in, I haven't seen 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.959 a lot of guys like that throughout my career. So 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.960 six one, let's start with that. He's really six feet 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.600 in some change. So who did you play against that 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.199 resembled that body type? Well, I think you think of 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.120 a little Roy Glover, you think of John randall Um. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.439 There's a lot of guys with that body type back then, 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.320 because there's a lot of three four nose guards that 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.320 were little stumpy guys. But that Aaron Donald's anything, but 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.880 his quickness is such that he could play anywhere up 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.680 and down the line of scrimmage. And they're very fortunate 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.880 to have him because it's hard to sack quarterbacks now 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.480 out of the shotgun three step drops and they get 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.240 the ball out of their hands so quickly. He's got 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.200 sixteen and a half and treating shipped and double team 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.679 tamed and all that, like muffenses are trying to be 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.280 trying to be sneaky. But yeah, he had no sacks 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.800 the first three games. So he's those sixteen a half 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.040 sacks game in the last nine games, right, and thirty 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.360 thirty one hits on the quarterback. Yeah, that I'll keep 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.640 you up at night. Yeah, but that being said just 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.480 in the locker room this week talking to a couple 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.200 of the guys. You know, this is a strength versus 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.720 strength matchup, your defense against their offense. But it seems 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.360 like because of Aaron Donald singularly almost And I got 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.400 to give a you know, a shout out of course 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.200 to the two corners, the very aggressive, very very good 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.800 corners in the Keith To League and Marcus Peters. But 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.800 let's not forget about the Bears defense, and all the 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.840 eleven are making plays. All the eleven are big factors. 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:36.360 Idea feel a little bit underappreciated, maybe from the written 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.000 word and the spoken word about the Bears defense this 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.520 week because all the conversations about Aaron Donald. No, no, um, 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.360 not at all. And I mean, just like you said, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.679 I think we've put we've we've been put on notice, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.800 like people people in league are starting to respect us 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.880 and they're starting to give us credit. And um, but 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.439 I mean you gotta give credit to words due and 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.600 Aaron Donald. I mean I don't I told the media 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.200 earlier this year, I mean earlier this week. I don't 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.800 think he's just up for NFL defense player view. I 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.839 think it's league league, um, league MVP, just just with 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.400 what he's doing and and he's like he's changing the 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.880 games like very opportunistic, like um just those those sack 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.280 funnels and not getting a sack, like he's giving the 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.599 ball back back to the offense and putting them in 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.679 great position. And um, I mean he he means a 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.640 lot of their team and he's doing a lot, uh 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.800 for the team. But I think collectively as a defense 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.280 for us on on the Bears, I think what we're doing, Um, 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.559 I mean, we're we're doing great things too, especially Kyle 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.400 Kyle full Or. I mean, um, I was telling someone, 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.600 I was telling the media person this two is, Um, 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.959 I know he's not kicking his butt, but I'm probably 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.680 kicking his butt. Forum'm like, man, you should just sign 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.480 a transition tag and um, it would have been it 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.320 would have been great for you. Uh, it would have 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.240 been great for you this this upcoming free agency. But 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.120 I mean how he's playing, um lights out and I 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.400 mean even a Keem Nickson, I mean Eddie and man, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.560 I mean you can name everybody real que I'm Danny, like, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.880 we can name everybody. Yeah, me too, who's having yeah 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.280 without a doubt, without a doubt, without a doubt. Yeah, Um, 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.240 I would say just because I mean regardless, just because 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:22.000 I mean my stats are are are great. But um, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.360 I feel like just what I'm able to do on 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.240 my side, just being able to press every down and 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.840 uh and take away the guy in in front of me, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.240 I think that does a lot um for a team, 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.160 you know, So in preparation for this game, throughout I 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.640 heard the stat yesterday. Throughout Tom Brady's career, He's lost 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.440 one hundred and sixty yards and offense to Neil downs 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.640 after victories, which is an amazing stat. So this leads 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.200 me to my question. So far you've played against Tom 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.560 Brady this year, and you have all years of film 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.320 and advice and everything for Tom Brady. Here you got 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.760 a small snippet side of Jared Golf, although he's been 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.760 really productive. Is it harder or e easier to prepare 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.200 for a quarterback you have very little information on but 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.720 he's productive or a guy that's got a huge amount 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:10.760 of information and productive like Brady, I would say it's 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.880 it's harder just because you don't you don't have you 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.600 don't see examples of him reacting to everything exactly exactly 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.720 in different defenses, in different situations. But one thing, I 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.880 one thing you can learn about the quarterback is that 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:29.120 person's character and confidence. Like, Okay, if this person's in 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.080 double coverage, does he still think he can fit it 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.600 fitting in? If he's on the far hash, does he 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.840 think that he can still make that deep outthrow? And 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.520 then that's what it shows on film. He seems he 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.320 seems very confident in his arm and in his guys 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.120 and um, he's gonna put it up there. Are you 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.760 seeing a lot of different formations from team to team 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.080 to team this year or are there similarities in the 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.720 offenses that we hear about the coaching trees. We talk 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.800 about all that kind of stuff, similarities or differences week 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.680 in and week out. I would say the last the 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.960 last couple of weeks is it's been different. So like 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.360 we're this week, we're coming from a New York team 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.080 that's playing pro style, office like like they're trying to 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.400 with with the fullback. They're trying to get an eye formation, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.480 running down your throat and then um and then uh 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.440 and then play action and do a whole bunch of 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.840 a whole bunch of crossers. This team is more like 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.680 single back. They're still trying to run, but the Rams 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.480 are still trying to do a lot of crossers and 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.600 they're trying doing a lot of play action. And play 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.920 action only works when you have a great running back. 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.120 And these last two teams we've had played against the 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.880 Giants with Cekuan and now the runs with Um with Girly, 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.400 the play actions probably donna work. Yeah, I mean they're 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.920 doing it under center too. He's got over a thousand 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.960 yards rushing when they're under center. Wow. So that's a 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.960 different look for you. A lot of teams don't do 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.480 that anymore, No, they don't, and a lot a lot 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.360 of teams are I thought they were going to the 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.280 college route where you open them or you open it 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.440 up and and just and just gun it, and just 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.600 and just pass. But um, I think that's what makes 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.360 these running backs so well. You know what in the 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.480 running game, when you take the center center, quarterbacks sayings 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.000 directly beyond center, and you're retreating in the quarter, and 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.000 the running back is always running, already running forward, he 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.040 has momentum built up by the time he gets the 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.560 ball in his hands. Some of the RPO offenses, when 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.320 these guys start from a dead stop, they don't have 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.560 the same momentum going Yeah, I never thought about that, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.400 thought about that. That's very true. But conversely, he's got 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.199 to turn his back to the defense and get his 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.359 head whipped around exactly. How can you guys use that 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.960 to your advantage? I think pressure, pressure, and then and 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.520 then locking up our guys in the back end. I mean, 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.439 if we're sticky, if we're in sticky coverage, and you 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.399 add the pressure, will be in the reposition to make plays. 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.640 It's an interesting chess match this on Sunday night. There's 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.760 so many intangible factors to this game, whether it be 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.640 weather related with the cold and a Southern California team 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.119 coming in and a Southern California quarterback to a seventy 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.520 one year old defensive coordinator in Wade Phillips to the 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.280 godfather that runs you guys in Vic Fangio. And then 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.000 the offense is in particular with two young head coaches 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.000 that are the play callers and the play designers. Unbelievable 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.600 matchup Sunday nighted Soldier Field, Prince and Mukamar. Our guest 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.679 with Tom There, I'm Jeff Joni Act.

I think You've got a couple 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.640 of those already. Now I'm building a portfolio. Actually, yeah, 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.200 you know Theater of the Mind out there. I did 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:32.040 slide it over. What's the rest? You thought it was 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.920 just a Christmas card sitting there at that time. Gave 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.400 me or something here, it's a gift for Prince Tom 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.359 there with me here on Bears All Access brought to 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.280 you by Igs Energy from P and C Studios at 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.960 Hallis Hall as we get you sent for Bears rams 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:49.720 Uh the aspect you mentioned earlier and if you're just 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.760 joining us, we started talking about individuals on the defense. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.880 But Kyle Fuller, so he leads the NFL right now 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.800 in past defenses, he's got eighteen of those. Um, you 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.480 guys have had your share of targets, both of you guys. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.800 It's not too warped in terms of you know, they 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.520 can't really they got to pick their poison a little 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.760 bit because you guys have made somebody plays on the ball. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.760 But if you were to explain to the average fan 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.399 just what he's done over the last couple of years 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.360 to put him himself in this position to be an 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:28.320 outstanding all Pro caliber corner, what would it be? Man Um, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.240 I would say, you have a guy in his third 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:37.320 year who didn't play his third year because of because 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.239 of his injury. Now he's going to his fourth year, 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.320 supposed to pick up his fifth year option. Fifth year 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.720 option guarantees him that he's going to be on the 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.120 team mix year. If you don't pick it up, then 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.239 he's gonna be a free agency It doesn't get picked up. 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:53.880 Now he's gonna be So now he's going to free 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.600 agency in his fourth year, coming off injury, and you 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.120 bring in two free agents who's supposed to start, who's 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.680 supposed to start, and take him and take his position, 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.639 and going through training camp he's like fourth or third 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.400 or fourth on the depth trap because Bryce's are Bryces 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:14.040 are is our nickel? And um, yeah it was. It 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.320 wasn't even thought about. And then um and then didn't 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.919
