Speaker 1: matchup veteran cornerback and stud defensive player for the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 1: This is Bears All Access, brought to you by IGIs
Speaker 1: Energy from Chicago's Sports Radio six seventy to Score here
Speaker 1: at P ANDC Studios at HALLISA. Good to have you
Speaker 1: with us and Prince, thanks for taking the time. We're
Speaker 1: gonna spend a ton of time on this. This is
Speaker 1: a massive matchup. I know it's one game at a
Speaker 1: time approach, but the national media is in town, so
Speaker 1: the locker room has a lot more activity in it
Speaker 1: this week. You feel it, Yeah, yeah, we do. And UM,
Speaker 1: I mean we knew just with the way that the
Speaker 1: Rams been playing all season and the way we've been
Speaker 1: playing and when they flex, when they flexed the game,
Speaker 1: we knew that this game was gonna be surrounded by
Speaker 1: um by a lot of hype. But um, we're built
Speaker 1: for it. We've played on Sunday nights a lot of
Speaker 1: times and um, and to be honest, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think this is a great test for both teams. I
Speaker 1: think the Rams has been in some playoff atmosphere type
Speaker 1: games and um, and we've been in a couple of them.
Speaker 1: But I think this is since this is the next one.
Speaker 1: Like you said, I think this is this is the
Speaker 1: biggest one. You know, Prince, I watched a lot of
Speaker 1: football and I haven't seen a lot of the Rams
Speaker 1: yet this year. So in the cross games that you
Speaker 1: played throughout your system, have you seen the Rams in
Speaker 1: preparation for other teams because the Rams are on the cutups,
Speaker 1: or have you not seen very much of them up
Speaker 1: into this this week of preparation? I would say I
Speaker 1: have seen him a lot because I've watched them on TV.
Speaker 1: So like that shootout game versus Kansas City, saw that
Speaker 1: and uh, and then I seen their Packers game, and
Speaker 1: then I've seen their their Saints game live on TV.
Speaker 1: What do you think of the Chiefs game in the
Speaker 1: Saints game, since those are the two of the best
Speaker 1: teams in the league along with you guys, right, Um,
Speaker 1: I mean, just a lot of offense, a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of points and um, you see a lot
Speaker 1: of momentums being being changed. And I mean what Jared
Speaker 1: Goff is doing this year, I think I think it's amazing.
Speaker 1: And I think he's in his third year and um,
Speaker 1: of course with the help of his coach, coach UH
Speaker 1: coach Sean and then um, the weapons they have. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think he's he's been taking it to another level,
Speaker 1: you know. And in preparation for the Rams, for a
Speaker 1: defensive back, what's for difficult in the communication? What's more
Speaker 1: difficult in a formation change right before the snap of
Speaker 1: the ball, your field position or kind of a new
Speaker 1: formation out of the huddle that you haven't seen before.
Speaker 1: I would say, I mean, I think it depends what
Speaker 1: the call is. So I mean, if we're if we're
Speaker 1: in a man call and they do a formation change.
Speaker 1: Now we have to okay, like where's our where's our
Speaker 1: guy going? Like what's the um We have to get
Speaker 1: on our guy And it could be depending on the call,
Speaker 1: just because like most defenses they have like it. It's
Speaker 1: almost like a check with me call, meaning to a
Speaker 1: two play call. So if if they come out of
Speaker 1: this formation, you play this. If they come out in
Speaker 1: another formation, you play this. So if if they line
Speaker 1: up an empty one formation, okay, we haven't check to that.
Speaker 1: Then if they go to something else, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: now we have to make sure everyone's on the same
Speaker 1: page and see it and see it and see it
Speaker 1: the same way. So you don't get wide open guys.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking kind of laugh about it now,
Speaker 1: like you see in New York. So you make sure
Speaker 1: everyone's on the same page. Well I'm saying because just
Speaker 1: because it's it's behind us, but you want to get
Speaker 1: on the same page so you don't get wide open guys.
Speaker 1: And when you see wide open guys like that, it's
Speaker 1: usually okay, someone might it's a it's a bust, and
Speaker 1: someone might have not gotten the check. Not many busts
Speaker 1: this year, so even if you get a couple, is
Speaker 1: it really it is an unsettling I think it is unsettling, unsettling,
Speaker 1: and it's very and it's disappointing just because, um, we
Speaker 1: see how we've seen how great we can be, and
Speaker 1: I think it just like it's more, it's more like
Speaker 1: come on, like we're better than that. Like there's a
Speaker 1: standard we want to hold. And anytime we hurt ourselves,
Speaker 1: um yeah, we'd rather the team hurt us than us
Speaker 1: hurt ourselves. Prince and Mukamar our guest here on Bears
Speaker 1: All Access, Jeff jonny Acc and Tom Thing. We'll step
Speaker 1: away for our first break. You're at Chicago Sports Radio
Speaker 1: six seventy the score. Welcome back to be proud partner
Speaker 1: Riding Electricity and natural Gas and home worn new products
Speaker 1: go for one million customers across the country. Were more
Speaker 1: about IGS Energy and igs dot Com. Jeff Jonnyac along
Speaker 1: with Tom There, Prince and Mukamar and our helper today,
Speaker 1: Dan Barelli and Jordan trut Up as we get you
Speaker 1: set for Bears and Rams. I looked it up just
Speaker 1: for kicks because veteran players, we always analyze how many
Speaker 1: games you play at how many years but it's more
Speaker 1: important than how many snaps. And so does it shock
Speaker 1: you You've had over fifty six hundred snaps in your
Speaker 1: NFL playing life right now, that's a lot of snaps.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it's allowed to have
Speaker 1: to compare it. Okay, don't you think I don't know yet,
Speaker 1: I don't have to compare it. It's pretty good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say so, yeah, especially with especially with the
Speaker 1: number of games I've missed. Yeah, I'm trying to reach
Speaker 1: one hundred games, so hopefully that comes soon. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: durability at the cornerback position is extremely valuable because they
Speaker 1: don't take you guys off the field. It's not interchangeable.
Speaker 1: So it does speak to you, know, your ability to
Speaker 1: hang tough in there. And the way you guys are
Speaker 1: asked to play is physical to me, So Victor and you,
Speaker 1: why don't you play physical? Do you feel those fifty
Speaker 1: six hundred snaps? No? Because I think in the off season, like,
Speaker 1: So's it's funny. I think it's it's an all football players.
Speaker 1: So it's like during during the season, it's like I
Speaker 1: only got two or three more years one year maybe,
Speaker 1: But in the off season, it's like, Wow, I could play.
Speaker 1: I could play five more years. I mean, even even
Speaker 1: on bye week. I feel like the mood is different
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And I remember, I'm a player
Speaker 1: told me last year like when you when you start
Speaker 1: taking um pain pills to get through to get through practice,
Speaker 1: it might be like it might it might be time
Speaker 1: taking up so and I've been doing good or night.
Speaker 1: I don't even take anti inflammatoris or any type of
Speaker 1: pain pills, so I've been good to knock out. But
Speaker 1: you know, you think it's kind of a little bit
Speaker 1: of juice during a player's career because you've been around
Speaker 1: for a while. Some of them unusual fun that Matt
Speaker 1: Naggie has brought along this season, you know, with the
Speaker 1: postgame celebrations with the defensive players inside the offensive huddle,
Speaker 1: because that's been a spark of fun for you, whether
Speaker 1: it's the postgame celebration or the on field stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say, I mean, I would just categorize it
Speaker 1: as like winning this winning can make you feel younger.
Speaker 1: I mean, and I could see like why Tom's probably
Speaker 1: been Tom Bradsman probably playing song just because just because
Speaker 1: you're winning. It's like, I think things are going better,
Speaker 1: that it's not always there's not always a raining cloud
Speaker 1: over over over the building and stuff like that. And um,
Speaker 1: feedback when you on what you said, Tom is is
Speaker 1: that yes, the dancing being you, it's uh, it's it's lively,
Speaker 1: it's it's vibrant, especially having like the young guys on
Speaker 1: this team and their energy. I think all of it, Um,
Speaker 1: all of it makes sense of that. So I have
Speaker 1: a question. So there's already been talk that Mitchell Trubisky
Speaker 1: had a full participation practice today, And you've been around
Speaker 1: for a long time now, given the different scenarios you
Speaker 1: face and your approach to tackling quarterbacks, has it changed
Speaker 1: because of like how they try to coddle these guys
Speaker 1: in some sentence, some sentence, But if it's a fourth
Speaker 1: and one on the quarterbacks coming at you, I mean,
Speaker 1: do you judge how you have to hit them? As
Speaker 1: that approach to tackling quarterbacks changed throughout your career in
Speaker 1: the NFL, or your even your physical sense of when
Speaker 1: you get a chance to hit them, I would say
Speaker 1: this year more than any year for sure, just because
Speaker 1: I feel like they've the league, the refs, they've emphasized
Speaker 1: like hey, if you if it looks like you've hit
Speaker 1: a quarterback too hard or landed on them too much, um,
Speaker 1: we're going to We're gonna find you and and we're
Speaker 1: gonna penalize, uh you and your team. So I would
Speaker 1: say this year more than more than any year. Me myself,
Speaker 1: I don't think I've been in contact with the with
Speaker 1: the with a quarterback enough times uh to to to
Speaker 1: judge it really, except when the quarterbacks running out of sideline,
Speaker 1: and I know that's the like that's the easiest way
Speaker 1: to get a penalty, even to even touch them. So
Speaker 1: I just make sure, Um I just forced him, force
Speaker 1: him to the sideline. I mean, I think of mits
Speaker 1: running the ball, But then I think about you, Okay,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is going for a fourth and one. Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's going, you know, Deshaun Watson, any of these guys
Speaker 1: that are clever or have size to him. I I
Speaker 1: that's one of the weird elements about defensive football that's
Speaker 1: had to change for you guys, is seven years when
Speaker 1: you came in the league, you're jacking the guy up.
Speaker 1: Now you're kind of cautious, you know, cautiously approaching the
Speaker 1: situation exactly and I think I think it's the fear
Speaker 1: of just just getting the flags and and just earning
Speaker 1: the team. I mean, like I think uh claint Matthew
Speaker 1: has been a poster boy for that uh a lot
Speaker 1: this year, and I mean I feel like his his
Speaker 1: hits um have been have been clean and um yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just unfortunate. Text you're a black shirt, buddy.
Speaker 1: And did you see how he threw Matthew Stafford down
Speaker 1: like a rag doll? Last week? Did? Got? He got
Speaker 1: a penalty for it, he got, He got a couple
Speaker 1: of penalties last week again for he does I don't
Speaker 1: think he cares, won't way or another. So you know
Speaker 1: that'll be something to keep an eye on on Sunday
Speaker 1: that that could just touch off quite the quite the
Speaker 1: melee if he gets a little nasty on right right right,
Speaker 1: I could Yeah, I could see that too, especially well
Speaker 1: you know that guy. UM know him pretty well, and
Speaker 1: I've gotten to know him a lot more um off
Speaker 1: the field, just because um he's like a business guru
Speaker 1: and he knows how to um, he knows what he's
Speaker 1: the he's the epitome of of the of a guy
Speaker 1: of what it looks like to carry themselves well off
Speaker 1: the field as as a business minded individual. Soul Um,
Speaker 1: I kind of been under him and been texting him
Speaker 1: about different questions and different um different different ideas of
Speaker 1: ferocious cat Yes on Sundays, a ferocious gut body pales
Speaker 1: in comparison to the guy he's playing next to. Well,
Speaker 1: when you look in terms of quality, you know, style
Speaker 1: and substance. But I'm well, a nasty factor you got,
Speaker 1: you got right, I mean, adopticasu is there. But if
Speaker 1: you look at the the initial media, that destructive position
Speaker 1: that Aaron Donald can put himself in, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: a lot of guys like that throughout my career. So
Speaker 1: six one, let's start with that. He's really six feet
Speaker 1: in some change. So who did you play against that
Speaker 1: resembled that body type? Well, I think you think of
Speaker 1: a little Roy Glover, you think of John randall Um.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys with that body type back then,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of three four nose guards that
Speaker 1: were little stumpy guys. But that Aaron Donald's anything, but
Speaker 1: his quickness is such that he could play anywhere up
Speaker 1: and down the line of scrimmage. And they're very fortunate
Speaker 1: to have him because it's hard to sack quarterbacks now
Speaker 1: out of the shotgun three step drops and they get
Speaker 1: the ball out of their hands so quickly. He's got
Speaker 1: sixteen and a half and treating shipped and double team
Speaker 1: tamed and all that, like muffenses are trying to be
Speaker 1: trying to be sneaky. But yeah, he had no sacks
Speaker 1: the first three games. So he's those sixteen a half
Speaker 1: sacks game in the last nine games, right, and thirty
Speaker 1: thirty one hits on the quarterback. Yeah, that I'll keep
Speaker 1: you up at night. Yeah, but that being said just
Speaker 1: in the locker room this week talking to a couple
Speaker 1: of the guys. You know, this is a strength versus
Speaker 1: strength matchup, your defense against their offense. But it seems
Speaker 1: like because of Aaron Donald singularly almost And I got
Speaker 1: to give a you know, a shout out of course
Speaker 1: to the two corners, the very aggressive, very very good
Speaker 1: corners in the Keith To League and Marcus Peters. But
Speaker 1: let's not forget about the Bears defense, and all the
Speaker 1: eleven are making plays. All the eleven are big factors.
Speaker 1: Idea feel a little bit underappreciated, maybe from the written
Speaker 1: word and the spoken word about the Bears defense this
Speaker 1: week because all the conversations about Aaron Donald. No, no, um,
Speaker 1: not at all. And I mean, just like you said,
Speaker 1: I think we've put we've we've been put on notice,
Speaker 1: like people people in league are starting to respect us
Speaker 1: and they're starting to give us credit. And um, but
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta give credit to words due and
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. I mean I don't I told the media
Speaker 1: earlier this year, I mean earlier this week. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's just up for NFL defense player view. I
Speaker 1: think it's league league, um, league MVP, just just with
Speaker 1: what he's doing and and he's like he's changing the
Speaker 1: games like very opportunistic, like um just those those sack
Speaker 1: funnels and not getting a sack, like he's giving the
Speaker 1: ball back back to the offense and putting them in
Speaker 1: great position. And um, I mean he he means a
Speaker 1: lot of their team and he's doing a lot, uh
Speaker 1: for the team. But I think collectively as a defense
Speaker 1: for us on on the Bears, I think what we're doing, Um,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're we're doing great things too, especially Kyle
Speaker 1: Kyle full Or. I mean, um, I was telling someone,
Speaker 1: I was telling the media person this two is, Um,
Speaker 1: I know he's not kicking his butt, but I'm probably
Speaker 1: kicking his butt. Forum'm like, man, you should just sign
Speaker 1: a transition tag and um, it would have been it
Speaker 1: would have been great for you. Uh, it would have
Speaker 1: been great for you this this upcoming free agency. But
Speaker 1: I mean how he's playing, um lights out and I
Speaker 1: mean even a Keem Nickson, I mean Eddie and man,
Speaker 1: I mean you can name everybody real que I'm Danny, like,
Speaker 1: we can name everybody. Yeah, me too, who's having yeah
Speaker 1: without a doubt, without a doubt, without a doubt. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: I would say just because I mean regardless, just because
Speaker 1: I mean my stats are are are great. But um,
Speaker 1: I feel like just what I'm able to do on
Speaker 1: my side, just being able to press every down and
Speaker 1: uh and take away the guy in in front of me,
Speaker 1: I think that does a lot um for a team,
Speaker 1: you know, So in preparation for this game, throughout I
Speaker 1: heard the stat yesterday. Throughout Tom Brady's career, He's lost
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty yards and offense to Neil downs
Speaker 1: after victories, which is an amazing stat. So this leads
Speaker 1: me to my question. So far you've played against Tom
Speaker 1: Brady this year, and you have all years of film
Speaker 1: and advice and everything for Tom Brady. Here you got
Speaker 1: a small snippet side of Jared Golf, although he's been
Speaker 1: really productive. Is it harder or e easier to prepare
Speaker 1: for a quarterback you have very little information on but
Speaker 1: he's productive or a guy that's got a huge amount
Speaker 1: of information and productive like Brady, I would say it's
Speaker 1: it's harder just because you don't you don't have you
Speaker 1: don't see examples of him reacting to everything exactly exactly
Speaker 1: in different defenses, in different situations. But one thing, I
Speaker 1: one thing you can learn about the quarterback is that
Speaker 1: person's character and confidence. Like, Okay, if this person's in
Speaker 1: double coverage, does he still think he can fit it
Speaker 1: fitting in? If he's on the far hash, does he
Speaker 1: think that he can still make that deep outthrow? And
Speaker 1: then that's what it shows on film. He seems he
Speaker 1: seems very confident in his arm and in his guys
Speaker 1: and um, he's gonna put it up there. Are you
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of different formations from team to team
Speaker 1: to team this year or are there similarities in the
Speaker 1: offenses that we hear about the coaching trees. We talk
Speaker 1: about all that kind of stuff, similarities or differences week
Speaker 1: in and week out. I would say the last the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks is it's been different. So like
Speaker 1: we're this week, we're coming from a New York team
Speaker 1: that's playing pro style, office like like they're trying to
Speaker 1: with with the fullback. They're trying to get an eye formation,
Speaker 1: running down your throat and then um and then uh
Speaker 1: and then play action and do a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of crossers. This team is more like
Speaker 1: single back. They're still trying to run, but the Rams
Speaker 1: are still trying to do a lot of crossers and
Speaker 1: they're trying doing a lot of play action. And play
Speaker 1: action only works when you have a great running back.
Speaker 1: And these last two teams we've had played against the
Speaker 1: Giants with Cekuan and now the runs with Um with Girly,
Speaker 1: the play actions probably donna work. Yeah, I mean they're
Speaker 1: doing it under center too. He's got over a thousand
Speaker 1: yards rushing when they're under center. Wow. So that's a
Speaker 1: different look for you. A lot of teams don't do
Speaker 1: that anymore, No, they don't, and a lot a lot
Speaker 1: of teams are I thought they were going to the
Speaker 1: college route where you open them or you open it
Speaker 1: up and and just and just gun it, and just
Speaker 1: and just pass. But um, I think that's what makes
Speaker 1: these running backs so well. You know what in the
Speaker 1: running game, when you take the center center, quarterbacks sayings
Speaker 1: directly beyond center, and you're retreating in the quarter, and
Speaker 1: the running back is always running, already running forward, he
Speaker 1: has momentum built up by the time he gets the
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. Some of the RPO offenses, when
Speaker 1: these guys start from a dead stop, they don't have
Speaker 1: the same momentum going Yeah, I never thought about that,
Speaker 1: thought about that. That's very true. But conversely, he's got
Speaker 1: to turn his back to the defense and get his
Speaker 1: head whipped around exactly. How can you guys use that
Speaker 1: to your advantage? I think pressure, pressure, and then and
Speaker 1: then locking up our guys in the back end. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we're sticky, if we're in sticky coverage, and you
Speaker 1: add the pressure, will be in the reposition to make plays.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting chess match this on Sunday night. There's
Speaker 1: so many intangible factors to this game, whether it be
Speaker 1: weather related with the cold and a Southern California team
Speaker 1: coming in and a Southern California quarterback to a seventy
Speaker 1: one year old defensive coordinator in Wade Phillips to the
Speaker 1: godfather that runs you guys in Vic Fangio. And then
Speaker 1: the offense is in particular with two young head coaches
Speaker 1: that are the play callers and the play designers. Unbelievable
Speaker 1: matchup Sunday nighted Soldier Field, Prince and Mukamar. Our guest
Speaker 1: with Tom There, I'm Jeff Joni Act. This is Chicago
Speaker 1: Sports Radio six seventy to score special thank you to
Speaker 1: Prince of Mukamar for joining us tonight on Bears All
Speaker 1: Access Roots. Chris would like you to have this one
Speaker 1: hundred gift card to enjoy it one of the Chicaveland
Speaker 1: areas steakhouses. Appreciate it. I think You've got a couple
Speaker 1: of those already. Now I'm building a portfolio. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know Theater of the Mind out there. I did
Speaker 1: slide it over. What's the rest? You thought it was
Speaker 1: just a Christmas card sitting there at that time. Gave
Speaker 1: me or something here, it's a gift for Prince Tom
Speaker 1: there with me here on Bears All Access brought to
Speaker 1: you by Igs Energy from P and C Studios at
Speaker 1: Hallis Hall as we get you sent for Bears rams
Speaker 1: Uh the aspect you mentioned earlier and if you're just
Speaker 1: joining us, we started talking about individuals on the defense.
Speaker 1: But Kyle Fuller, so he leads the NFL right now
Speaker 1: in past defenses, he's got eighteen of those. Um, you
Speaker 1: guys have had your share of targets, both of you guys.
Speaker 1: It's not too warped in terms of you know, they
Speaker 1: can't really they got to pick their poison a little
Speaker 1: bit because you guys have made somebody plays on the ball.
Speaker 1: But if you were to explain to the average fan
Speaker 1: just what he's done over the last couple of years
Speaker 1: to put him himself in this position to be an
Speaker 1: outstanding all Pro caliber corner, what would it be? Man Um,
Speaker 1: I would say, you have a guy in his third
Speaker 1: year who didn't play his third year because of because
Speaker 1: of his injury. Now he's going to his fourth year,
Speaker 1: supposed to pick up his fifth year option. Fifth year
Speaker 1: option guarantees him that he's going to be on the
Speaker 1: team mix year. If you don't pick it up, then
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a free agency It doesn't get picked up.
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna be So now he's going to free
Speaker 1: agency in his fourth year, coming off injury, and you
Speaker 1: bring in two free agents who's supposed to start, who's
Speaker 1: supposed to start, and take him and take his position,
Speaker 1: and going through training camp he's like fourth or third
Speaker 1: or fourth on the depth trap because Bryce's are Bryces
Speaker 1: are is our nickel? And um, yeah it was. It
Speaker 1: wasn't even thought about. And then um and then didn't
Speaker 1: have a didn't have a an outstanding training camp his
Speaker 1: fourth year, and then um and then slowly just keeps chipping,
Speaker 1: just keeps being consistent, being available, um and um, and
Speaker 1: then he starts bawling his first I mean for the
Speaker 1: first two games, we have Julio Jones and then we
Speaker 1: have next game we have uh um, I think it
Speaker 1: was the Shawn and Mike Evans, and so it's like
Speaker 1: these are like the top whatever wide receivers in the league.
Speaker 1: Then he holds his own and then um, I come
Speaker 1: back um healthy and and Coop's been playing well, so
Speaker 1: now it's like, gosh, what do we do. Usually when
Speaker 1: you're in a situation like that, the guys who are
Speaker 1: getting paid like crazy they should be on the field
Speaker 1: regards because you don't want to put that money on
Speaker 1: the bench. Now you look bad as a as a
Speaker 1: as a gm UM. But like Kyle made it hard
Speaker 1: for them, Like he's been playing so good, so we're
Speaker 1: in a little rotation and then um, then it's so funny.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows it's really I'm gonna give you guys a
Speaker 1: little inside. But after our UM night game against Green Bay,
Speaker 1: um we it was it was. It was a bad game.
Speaker 1: We we we lost it. Kyle the next game we
Speaker 1: had UM the vikings Monday night. We had the next thing.
Speaker 1: We had Vikings Monday, and Kyle was supposed to UM.
Speaker 1: Kyle wasn't supposed to wasn't supposed to start, but then
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be supposed to be being Coop,
Speaker 1: but Coop ended up having some type of injury, and
Speaker 1: then Kyle ended up starting. And then after that Kyle
Speaker 1: and the Kyle never looked back and just ascended. And
Speaker 1: I keep telling everybody Kyle has like this Momba mentality,
Speaker 1: like this Kobe Bryant laser focus. I don't care what
Speaker 1: anyone says. My preparation is there, Like I'm confident and Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna win at the end
Speaker 1: and um, and you should see him on game day.
Speaker 1: He has this like he has his look in his
Speaker 1: eye and you just know, wow, Kyle's gonna ball today
Speaker 1: and um and yeah, and that's just that's just been
Speaker 1: a stud feel time. People don't really know that about Coy.
Speaker 1: He he doesn't let everybody in. No, he does not.
Speaker 1: And just wonna me me and my wife and him.
Speaker 1: We always have dinner, um, every week and um, and
Speaker 1: my wife is always like friends. I don't. I can't
Speaker 1: figure this guy out. I say, yeah, nobody, nobody can't.
Speaker 1: I mean he loves he loves golf, and I mean
Speaker 1: that's all anyone really knows. But yeah, he's very um inquisitive.
Speaker 1: You know. It's nice though for all the defensive backs,
Speaker 1: is when you go back and you take a stop
Speaker 1: watch to the pass rushes that hassled the quarterbacks last year,
Speaker 1: they were significant. They were in the fourth second range,
Speaker 1: and it's tough for defensive backs. Now you bring it
Speaker 1: up and it's a lot closer to just over two seconds,
Speaker 1: you guys are able to capitalize on that sped up
Speaker 1: hassle pass rush, and I think that's what's a nice
Speaker 1: thing that you guys have been able to do, is
Speaker 1: you guys have been able to compliment the front that
Speaker 1: you guys have been given this year. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, Khalil definitely makes that clock a little
Speaker 1: a little shorter, and I mean he he probably doesn't
Speaker 1: have to rush, but just knowing, you know, Leonard's rushing
Speaker 1: right well, Akam is a powerhouse. Eddie's having the best
Speaker 1: season of his career. Blom Nichols what he's been able
Speaker 1: to do, and Jonathan Bullard and the rest of the crew.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's been nice on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris, I don't want to forget him and
Speaker 1: all of them. Yes, no, we're definitely fortunate. I remember
Speaker 1: last year it always like I would look at Jalen
Speaker 1: and Aj Jalen Ramdy and Aj Bouye and I would say, man,
Speaker 1: look at their front, like their front four. They they're
Speaker 1: so nasty and they get your quarterback and um and
Speaker 1: now I'm now I'm experiencing that and I'm reaping the
Speaker 1: benefits of that. Also when you bring up those two
Speaker 1: guys that it makes isn't an amazing how fleeting successes
Speaker 1: in the NFL at Jacksonville, where they were at a
Speaker 1: year ago at this time and where they're at right now. Um,
Speaker 1: and that you know, those guys are still out there
Speaker 1: and they're still battling. But yeah, that team is going
Speaker 1: through some tough time. So having success to sustain it
Speaker 1: takes a real mature locker room. Yeah, mature locker room.
Speaker 1: And yeah, definitely a lot of a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of work. But the mature lock locker room part, though,
Speaker 1: I don't you feel that that is now what the
Speaker 1: Bears have even though you're a young team. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I and and in this case, I don't think
Speaker 1: young and immature go together with us. I think we
Speaker 1: are young immature, but we have a lot of um,
Speaker 1: young mature guys. I mean, from from Kyle, from a team,
Speaker 1: from from Danny, from Mitch, like Mitch just the way
Speaker 1: he handles things and goes about his business, and um
Speaker 1: like Trey Burton and Alan Robinson I mean, and Eddie Jackson.
Speaker 1: I mean, the list goes on. And I mean you
Speaker 1: credit you have to credit Ryan paceon Um and management
Speaker 1: to what they're they're they've built so far and what
Speaker 1: they're continuing to builds Chase the oldest in the locker room. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's a good he's a good elder statesman for that
Speaker 1: locker room. The attitude he brings out there when he's
Speaker 1: either doing demonstration squad or getting ready to start what
Speaker 1: he was able to do in training camp and develop
Speaker 1: a lot of young talent, both the defensive backs in
Speaker 1: the receiver. So he is a good guy in that position. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is. And he's also like our little um because
Speaker 1: he he kind of because he's been with Naggie, kind
Speaker 1: of has Naggie's ears. So anytime we ever suggest him,
Speaker 1: you tell him you know him, you know, you know
Speaker 1: him better than us and stuff. Yeah, he's thirty one,
Speaker 1: but I think he relates well to a twenty one
Speaker 1: year old kid. Yeah he doesn't that there's a ten
Speaker 1: year gap, but I think he can almost be young
Speaker 1: in that way. Now, would you as a rookie been
Speaker 1: able to fit with that type of maturity in this
Speaker 1: locker room, I'm a sensing you would be. Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. Um, I mean, I mean there's
Speaker 1: guys that remind myself of me in that and in
Speaker 1: that locker room like Um, I don't know if I
Speaker 1: would say maybe like a Michael Joseph. I mean he's
Speaker 1: our corner on practice squad and kid and I get
Speaker 1: me and Roquan have the same agents, and our agents
Speaker 1: say that we're pretty we're pretty similar in some ways. Also,
Speaker 1: ro Quan definitely does not act and look or talk
Speaker 1: like a rookie. No, there's no way he has that.
Speaker 1: There's something about him he's got he You know, you
Speaker 1: look at Mike Singletary as a rookie and the demeanor
Speaker 1: that he came here with. It was always starched and serious.
Speaker 1: And I know Roquan is probably behind locker room doors,
Speaker 1: he's a different But the appearance of his preparedness, his professionalism,
Speaker 1: the results that we've seen out of where why he
Speaker 1: was drafted where he is, he reminds me a lot
Speaker 1: of him. All Right, let's talk the rams a little bit.
Speaker 1: For the guys you'll be dealing with. Uh, they do
Speaker 1: a lot of motion and everything despite being under center
Speaker 1: of those jet sweep action and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting. But Matt Naggie earlier this
Speaker 1: week mentioned that Sean has a game plan that is
Speaker 1: yet a few plays, but the most teams could run
Speaker 1: that play with three different versions, but he's got he
Speaker 1: does at times five. Now what does he mean by that?
Speaker 1: I would think that like you can run the play
Speaker 1: in information. You can just line up and run it.
Speaker 1: Then you can run it where you motion a guy
Speaker 1: and then run it, or you can run it with
Speaker 1: different personnel. So instead of all wide receivers, now you
Speaker 1: put tight ends and running backs and run it. And
Speaker 1: I think I think that's what he means, just by
Speaker 1: different variations, Like one thing might be different, but it's
Speaker 1: still different. So what are your tells on offense like that? Um?
Speaker 1: I think we go by the rules. Okay, what does
Speaker 1: the final look look like? So if it looks like
Speaker 1: it's three by one, okay, this is what they do
Speaker 1: at a three by one. If it looks like it's
Speaker 1: two by two, this would look This is what they
Speaker 1: do at a two by two. If it looks like
Speaker 1: when if it looks like okay, when this receiver is
Speaker 1: inside the hash and and and uh and et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera, then this this is what you're getting. So
Speaker 1: we try to go off the final look. Is it
Speaker 1: a is it a consider their bread and butter. I
Speaker 1: think every team wants to be able to develop a
Speaker 1: play that they're one hundred percent confident and running out
Speaker 1: a bunch of different formations, but no matter when they
Speaker 1: need a yard four yards, this is the deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would I would say the Rams have a couple
Speaker 1: of um of those plays and I mean it's the
Speaker 1: first week and uh um, I mean it's like a
Speaker 1: first day and installing and um so hopefully um we
Speaker 1: get to know more of that. Well, no matter what,
Speaker 1: John mcvay's a dangerous play caller, and the guy is
Speaker 1: full energy, no different than the guy. He'll be eyeball
Speaker 1: on them on the other sideline. The competitive nature of
Speaker 1: those two high coaches, I think it's gonna be a show.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's just unfortunate that one's not on offensive,
Speaker 1: one's not on deal. They're both offensive guys and um yeah,
Speaker 1: and I feel like Sean coach coach mcvay's more like
Speaker 1: he has the aviators the designer. Gee, he's more he's
Speaker 1: thirty two, thirty, he just turned thirty two. Coordinator similarities
Speaker 1: have any one one sixty sixty so unbelievable. I think
Speaker 1: is a wonderful. It's just like Chase being head coach
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, exactly, exactly, smart guy, man, he's got
Speaker 1: an unbelievable view of the game. Well, we appreciate taking
Speaker 1: the time. I know you've got things to take care of.
Speaker 1: It's body maintenance day, exactly, body maintenance day for Prince
Speaker 1: of Mukamara. Tom and I will be back. Will continue
Speaker 1: on with Bears All Access on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy.
Speaker 1: The score. This segment of Bears All That courted buying
Speaker 1: td W CDW people to get a Jeff Jonnyak and
Speaker 1: Tom tare we said you buy a Prince of Mukamar
Speaker 1: a few segments. Really enjoy He's very open, very honest
Speaker 1: about all things, and so when he speaks, you gotta
Speaker 1: listen to what he's saying. You know what I like
Speaker 1: about him as we've had him the show now a
Speaker 1: couple of times. So now he's been become more of
Speaker 1: a friend of the program as Dad Jacots used to say,
Speaker 1: and he is. But you know, you get a better
Speaker 1: in depth opportunity to talk to him, because whether we're
Speaker 1: in training camp or at the early part of the season,
Speaker 1: I think we're lucky to have a guy like Prince
Speaker 1: come out more than once a year to learn a
Speaker 1: little bit more about the him and the Bears. I
Speaker 1: know we've been teasing the matchup with the Rams, and
Speaker 1: to me, it's just a delicious mix of everything that
Speaker 1: you want in a football game. And it's at Soldier Field.
Speaker 1: There's going to be a playoff atmosphere. This will be
Speaker 1: one of four remaining games left in the schedule. A
Speaker 1: lot can be helped with a win in this case
Speaker 1: for the Bears, and the Rams still have something to
Speaker 1: play for. Obviously they clinched the division last week, but
Speaker 1: they want the number one seed, they want home field
Speaker 1: obviously the way they play football, So there is a
Speaker 1: lot on the line for this game. Bears looking to
Speaker 1: bounce back in the locker room this week, just a
Speaker 1: little bit more of a business like approach. I think
Speaker 1: the loss may have caught everybody's attention in there. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's got to be a business like approach,
Speaker 1: not only because of the loss of last week, but
Speaker 1: of the evidence that you see on tape. You know,
Speaker 1: one thing about studying football nowadays is a lot of
Speaker 1: guys can study through the analytics of football and listen
Speaker 1: to look at the numbers and then read about how
Speaker 1: things are going to play out. Maybe when I watch
Speaker 1: football and I put the tape on. Rarely do I
Speaker 1: look at a team and within seconds, within a couple
Speaker 1: of plays goal, my jaw drops and I go, wow,
Speaker 1: that's what happened with the Rams. And it's more on
Speaker 1: offense as well as on defense. And with the explosiveness
Speaker 1: and the destructiveness that the two guys on the inside
Speaker 1: can cause, and Dominican Sue and Aaron Donald, it puts
Speaker 1: a scary frame to this game because if you want,
Speaker 1: if you want to take the red zone of this game,
Speaker 1: the red zone is not the twenty yard line. In
Speaker 1: the red zone is the two guards the tackle, the
Speaker 1: two guards the center in the two defensive tackles. That's
Speaker 1: the red zone of this game for teams. More for
Speaker 1: the Bears than well, I know, I'm saying for the
Speaker 1: Bears of specifically Aaron Donald and Adamicasu against I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give some props to the Bears defensive front two on
Speaker 1: the interior against their interior because Jared Goff, they move them,
Speaker 1: they waggle, they boot, but he's not running with the ball.
Speaker 1: He doesn't, So I think a team and Eddie can
Speaker 1: do some damage inside. I think that Vic Fangio can
Speaker 1: get Mac and Floyd hitting those a gaps with some
Speaker 1: pressures that will speed up the process because like any quarterback,
Speaker 1: I honestly think that this guy, he gets a little
Speaker 1: edgy back there if you do hit him. So I'm
Speaker 1: getting if I'm getting ready to prepare for the Arizona
Speaker 1: rams La rams, I know that I have to have
Speaker 1: an interesting scheme to be able to block those two
Speaker 1: guys in the middle. I gotta get them blocked every play. Jeff,
Speaker 1: There's no way that you can go to the game
Speaker 1: the field and ignore those two guys. You gotta get blocked. Now,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about in preparation for the Bears defense,
Speaker 1: they have so much talent within the width of the
Speaker 1: defense that you have to block everybody within the width
Speaker 1: of the defense. You think you can let Leonard Floyd
Speaker 1: go free from the backside, he can run you down.
Speaker 1: You think he can block Khalil one on one, He's
Speaker 1: going to be able to be destructive a Keem Hicks.
Speaker 1: If you give him a week one on one on
Speaker 1: the inside, he's going to walk that lineman back into
Speaker 1: the quarterback running backslap. So I think they're they're kinds
Speaker 1: of a different destructiveness between the two teams. They do
Speaker 1: do a ton of chipping. They help those guys out.
Speaker 1: Even with the wide receivers, they're all blocking on the
Speaker 1: way out to rout. They have to more because of
Speaker 1: what's up on the offensive line. You know, that's what
Speaker 1: their fear is. Todd Gurley. So first down, he's averaging
Speaker 1: five eight to carry. This is a team that does
Speaker 1: not play behind the chains. Tom They're ahead of the
Speaker 1: game almost every time. And a back like that, as
Speaker 1: versatile as he is, he's not it's not impossible to
Speaker 1: stuff this guy. He has like eighteen stuff carries this season.
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be necessary a series or
Speaker 1: few to get them behind the chains a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be necessary. We're gonna go back
Speaker 1: into the memory bank. Remember the playoff game in eighty
Speaker 1: five against the Rams, and it was a third and
Speaker 1: one or fourth and one, Eric Dickerson Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: as great as Todd Gurley ever hopes to be. They
Speaker 1: gave it on a straight isolation play against Mike Singletary.
Speaker 1: Mike Singletary stepped up to the plate stopped Eric and
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson in his tracks, gave up no yards and
Speaker 1: it was a change of downs. Those are the type
Speaker 1: of plays that you're gonna have to have out here
Speaker 1: by a lot of guys, including Danny, Trevathan and Roquan
Speaker 1: but everybody on the field is going to have to
Speaker 1: make that type of stand up play. Is it possible
Speaker 1: or how do you you know? Candy Heptis, couldn't the
Speaker 1: Bears get in a shootout with a team like the Rams?
Speaker 1: I mean they can? Do you want to know? To
Speaker 1: mee you have two good of running backs to get
Speaker 1: into a sho doubt because a shootout to me is
Speaker 1: dropping back and throwing the ball every play. I don't
Speaker 1: want to see that. I mean, it's it's Chiefs Rams, right,
Speaker 1: we're not doing well. Unfortunately, then you're leaving out two
Speaker 1: of the better running backs in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: Gurley obviously considered the top of but I still have
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for Jordan Howard. So I think
Speaker 1: that you better bring your running back a strong, powerful
Speaker 1: running game with you if you're gonna get into a
Speaker 1: scoring matchup with these guys watching the tape, why are
Speaker 1: the Rams giving up so much rushing yards. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're they're one hundred and eighteen, but they've had SIA
Speaker 1: got two fifty on them right. Um, Because if you
Speaker 1: can contain the two guys on the inside, you have
Speaker 1: other edges and other options. And with the ability to
Speaker 1: run the ball too, I think you could be really
Speaker 1: aggressive at Dante Follower Junior. I think you can be. Um.
Speaker 1: You know how a couple weeks ago against Detroit, Matt
Speaker 1: threw a bunch of lateral passes behind the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage with wide receiver blockers right in front of them.
Speaker 1: I think, Um, however, you get the ball out to
Speaker 1: that area the field, they're capable of giving up yards.
Speaker 1: I don't know how willing of a tackle their corners
Speaker 1: are either. Well, yeah, they are physical when they want
Speaker 1: to press you. But after that, you know, I would test,
Speaker 1: I would test keep you know, he's pressing. He's played
Speaker 1: a half of football since Week three. Pressing. Pressing against
Speaker 1: the wide receiver at the line of scrimmage is different
Speaker 1: than having Cody Whitehair, James Daniels, these guys pulling an
Speaker 1: approaching you and seeing how gutsy they are up. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: you want to find out where that ankle is though
Speaker 1: it was a high ankle on tlid that was surgically repaired.
Speaker 1: He did come back, but they had him on a
Speaker 1: pitch count last thirty something snaps last and only played
Speaker 1: the first half. Yeah, did not play the second half,
Speaker 1: so he's played a half of football. How would you
Speaker 1: attack a guy like that just to find out where
Speaker 1: he's at, especially a risk taker like he. I would
Speaker 1: do a multi level. I would have him try to
Speaker 1: cover guys like Tree Cohen or Alan Robinson in bad matchups.
Speaker 1: I would have some of those screens where I had
Speaker 1: Trey Burton blocking him, maybe Josh Bellamy blocking him at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and see if he had hold
Speaker 1: up against those responsibilities, or you know, see if he
Speaker 1: can really turn and run. Because you got the Taylor
Speaker 1: Gabriel and those types of guys to test him in
Speaker 1: all areas. You want to go out there and see, Okay,
Speaker 1: did the reason you didn't come out in the second
Speaker 1: half because your ankle got so cold within that twelve
Speaker 1: minutes you couldn't get it rewarmed up? Or can you
Speaker 1: come out here at seventeen degrees and get it all
Speaker 1: you're hoping for the seventy degrees. No, I mean kickoff
Speaker 1: temperature is gonna be thirty. It's not gonna be. Guarantee
Speaker 1: you're looking at the wrong app I guarantee you we'll
Speaker 1: have a bat. And it's almost as if you're getting
Speaker 1: on your knees and ask you mother Nature, please get
Speaker 1: that temperature under twenty. I'm with you, I want to
Speaker 1: see it. I'm just saying, you know, you're asking about
Speaker 1: a keep to leave, specifically who hasn't had a lot
Speaker 1: of chance to play. But if he comes out of
Speaker 1: the locker room and it never gets warm, it's hard
Speaker 1: to get warmed up. And you know, I believe they're
Speaker 1: a different defense with him because he's such a confident player.
Speaker 1: I think they feed off of that confidence, at least
Speaker 1: on that back four. He's that type of player, and
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters has struggled without him this year. Six touchdowns allowed,
Speaker 1: six penalties. Very good ball skills though, as we know,
Speaker 1: we're best interceptors in the National Football A guy we're
Speaker 1: gonna step away now. The break here on Bears All
Speaker 1: Access on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to school. This
Speaker 1: Sunday night game against the La Rams is brought to
Speaker 1: you by Beggars Pizza front partner of your Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: I do love playing the Rams for a lot of
Speaker 1: there was some great history obviously between the two franchises
Speaker 1: and when you played two, the Dickerson years and whatnot,
Speaker 1: even going back in time, the Roman Gabriel years, the
Speaker 1: Fearsome Foursome years. I love the matchup. Loved the old
Speaker 1: white and navy blue uniforms of the La Rams. It's all.
Speaker 1: It's all very exciting to do it on national TV though,
Speaker 1: two young quarterbacks, some great individual skill players. I just
Speaker 1: think it's going to be an outstanding matchup to see
Speaker 1: and how the Bears respond come off that washed in
Speaker 1: New York. I'm not too concerned about it because there's
Speaker 1: just so much belief in each other in that locker room.
Speaker 1: I think they've got themselves refocused, repositioning, geared up to
Speaker 1: go at it right and whatever happens happening. You know.
Speaker 1: The thing about it is is you're talking about a
Speaker 1: big matchup in the NFL because of the system, the
Speaker 1: high powered defense is the high explosive offenses. But it's
Speaker 1: a great matchup because of the personnel that Matt is
Speaker 1: molding into the team that he has visioned for for
Speaker 1: the future as well as now. And you're talking about
Speaker 1: the Rams coming in here and the Bears are actually
Speaker 1: competitive against him. The reason this thing has been put
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football is because around the NFL landscape,
Speaker 1: around the country and everywhere, there's interest in the Bears
Speaker 1: playing the Rams. Could you see if the Rams were
Speaker 1: coming in here, even if it was a Sunday noon
Speaker 1: game with this record and the Bears had no hope,
Speaker 1: it would be a scary game. I think even though
Speaker 1: the experience they went through with the Giants, I see
Speaker 1: the hope for the future of the Bears is so
Speaker 1: high that people are more than intrigued by this game.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk Mitch. What are your expectations two
Speaker 1: games down with a sore shoulder and starting on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I have the same expectations if he never left the field,
Speaker 1: He's been able to go through a series of tests
Speaker 1: and make sure that everything is physically ready for him
Speaker 1: to go out and play the game that mentally and
Speaker 1: physically is challenging to his opponent. You don't want to
Speaker 1: have to go out there and think about a physical
Speaker 1: aspect of the game and still try to pay play
Speaker 1: the game mentally like you've been playing it since Matt's
Speaker 1: put in this system. So I expect these guys do.
Speaker 1: When they introduce Mitch's the starting quarterback, he holds nothing back. Now,
Speaker 1: that's what that was. The next sentence out of my
Speaker 1: is how he concludes his scramble runs is got to
Speaker 1: be an important of the part of the way he
Speaker 1: handles this game because he's got to be in control
Speaker 1: of the way he concludes that he cannot take the
Speaker 1: hits that he's in all honesty, because this is his
Speaker 1: m You are going to see if he does scramble
Speaker 1: out of there in within the playing surface and not
Speaker 1: going out of bounds and domicans, he's gonna land. You're not.
Speaker 1: You can't give him that chance. Jeff, You know all right, Listen,
Speaker 1: if you're a baseball player, do you know where the
Speaker 1: bag is that you're sliding to? Okay, if you feel
Speaker 1: someone behind you, if you're approaching somebody in front of you,
Speaker 1: you slide. Don't get me that extra yard and a
Speaker 1: half with a collision. Get down and getting and be
Speaker 1: able to get in the huddle. Girly, Uh, you said
Speaker 1: wow when you put on the tape. I know you
Speaker 1: were talking both sides of the babble. What was the
Speaker 1: wow that caught your attention about how the rams are
Speaker 1: designed with Sean mcphay's. First of all, you just you
Speaker 1: look at his size, You look at his stride, you
Speaker 1: look at his versatility. You look at the way he
Speaker 1: handled himself throughout the development of last of last year
Speaker 1: UM and then being getting prepared in the offseason and
Speaker 1: have it and being able to accept the workload that
Speaker 1: he's got and you can do everything with him. You know,
Speaker 1: what is his deficiency? That would be the first thing
Speaker 1: that I would try to look at good pass proche Right,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You know, the first thing you
Speaker 1: do is when you look at an opponent, you're trying
Speaker 1: to devise a game plan against him. All right, you know,
Speaker 1: Jeff Joniac is the best guy they got on their
Speaker 1: football team. But what is his deficiency? What is the
Speaker 1: one thing he doesn't wanted to do or he's not
Speaker 1: really good at. He's good at everything, And that's that's
Speaker 1: the unique thing. Why you get drafted as high as
Speaker 1: he did, why he has the stats behind him, why
Speaker 1: he's averaging five yards a carry in this unrunhappy NFL.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Brandon Cooks also because he's a killer
Speaker 1: back there if he gets too deep. But on the
Speaker 1: road he has not been. And I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: Green Bay the Denver game, which was in the snow.
Speaker 1: It was the lowest quarterback rating in the season for
Speaker 1: Jared Goth. I know that Sean was asked about that
Speaker 1: this week. He said that was just not necessarily what
Speaker 1: are related, but you know it is. The common ground
Speaker 1: is crowd noise. The effect of the crowd noise in
Speaker 1: the in the disruption. It hasn't a verbal cadence. And
Speaker 1: now your offensive tackle, offensive guard, you know we talk
Speaker 1: about a lot now lately, is coming off the same
Speaker 1: plane the offensive line altogether. I have to you can't
Speaker 1: do that on the road. And if the Bears crowd
Speaker 1: comes out and has this this verbal assault on the
Speaker 1: field when the defense is out there, you're going to
Speaker 1: disrupt the flow of their offensive line, just like the
Speaker 1: Bears haven't done to them when they go out and
Speaker 1: play Denver, Kansas City, Green Bay got them for five
Speaker 1: sacks each. Tell me Bears get five sacks, where are
Speaker 1: they at? Tell me about those crowds that you just
Speaker 1: mentioned what's the unique thing about going to those stadiums
Speaker 1: that they're they're great. They're great, they are, and so
Speaker 1: are so are the Bears. I don't you know when
Speaker 1: you go to the Bears on the road or you
Speaker 1: get to the Bears at home during this this run,
Speaker 1: I think they can be as loud as anybody out there.
Speaker 1: All Right, what players on the Bear side of the
Speaker 1: ball offensive defense? Are you circled have big games? Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's Hardie the guard, It's it's hard. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean the inside Cody and the two guards that that's
Speaker 1: going to be the red zone for me. If they
Speaker 1: had that camera that floats above them and only showed
Speaker 1: those five guys the whole and he never watched anything else,
Speaker 1: you would be able to tell the story of the game.
Speaker 1: And it's hard not to ignore Mitch because of um,
Speaker 1: you know, he is the guy that everybody's pointing dude
Speaker 1: to be a little ignition. And I want to see
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson. I want to see if Eddie Jackson has
Speaker 1: the ability to undercut a route, get a ball back,
Speaker 1: steal a possession from the Rams, and see if he
Speaker 1: can capitalize on his all pro run. They basically do
Speaker 1: one back, three wide receiver offense, one tight end, So
Speaker 1: Bears will be a nickel and they've been very good
Speaker 1: at nickel this year. They've been on the field a ton.
Speaker 1: They'll do that ninety five percent of the time, that alignment.
Speaker 1: But that puts a lot of strain though on a
Speaker 1: guy like Bryce Callahan. He's going to have to have
Speaker 1: a he's got a tough assignment. I think Bryce enjoys it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's you know, that attitude, that personality. You
Speaker 1: have to have to be that fifth roaming defensive back
Speaker 1: and you got to be able to go on the
Speaker 1: field against some overmatch type of guys. I think that's
Speaker 1: why Vic Fangio likes Bryce and he loves blitzing him too.
Speaker 1: He's puts them quite a bit this yearing him. All Right, Well,
Speaker 1: it'll be fun, no question about it. We keep talking
Speaker 1: about it. It's going to be an outstanding matchup Week fourteen.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it delivers to everybody's hopes and expectations of a
Speaker 1: Bear's win. That's gonna wrap us up tonight on Bears
