Welcome into 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.559 PANC Studios at Hallisaw another edition of Bears All Access. 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.200 I'm Jeff Johnny ac along went broadcast partner Tom There 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.519 from news radio seven eighty one or five point ninew BBM. 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.480 How you doing this evening? I'm doing good to Big Jeff, 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.280 how you doing. I'm fantastic. Chiefs coming into town, rolling 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.920 in for a Sunday night matchup. Glad they kept the 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:54.240 start time at seven twenty. The reasons are obvious. There's 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.520 a lot of good reasons. One is that these guys 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.120 got to stay dialed in. This is not going to 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.360 be a playoff here obviously in twenty nineteen. But for 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:02.760 each and every one of those guys that are going 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.959 to play on Sunday night, they it's about pride in 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.680 themselves and pride for the football team and where they're 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.160 headed down road. You know, it's still about the super Bowl, 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.160 and that's the one thing about this year. I know 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.360 there's been some difficulties, but I don't ever want to 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:19.320 lose that phrase out of the conversation of improvement, because 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.759 if you have any other goal other than winning your division, 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.000 getting into the playoffs and winning the super Bowl, we're 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.680 all kind of wasting our time here. So I think 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.240 it is about the Bears getting better these next two games. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.039 It's about the continuous improvement of Mitchell Trubisky, finding a 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.160 little bit more details out about guys like Anthony Miller, 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.360 Jasper Horstead, you know, just just to name a few, 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.560 Kevin Tolliver and stuff. So, I you know, I know 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.080 it's a different season, but I don't think you ever 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.240 lose your focus and ultimately what your goal is do accomplish. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.320 Were brought to you by IGS Energy. Good to have 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.120 you alongside. Cordarrol Patterson will be our guest tonight here 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.720 in studio, so I'll be looking forward to to talk 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.000 to him then waiting off season long. He's a very 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:03.040 interesting guy, terrific, high character individual, who loves the game 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.680 of football, and you can see it each and every 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.800 time he takes the field. So we'll get into him, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.519 but right now, let's let's take a look at what 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.960 the Bears are going to be facing in Patrick Mahomes. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.760 The inevitable comparisons. You heard it all this week about 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.520 the comparisons of he and Mitchell Trubisky, Matt Naggie and 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.160 Andy Reid. We're gonna hear about Dave Tobe, We're gonna 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.960 hear about Chris Tabor. You're gonna hear a lot. But 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.680 that Chief's team is a powerful team. It's a fast team, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.080 speedious offense. I've seen on tape all season long, and 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.160 maybe in a long time. I go back to watch 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.880 and when the Tampa defense or even the Bears defense 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.680 at times during love here, it was loaded with speed 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.400 at different areas of the field. But they've got it 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.400 all over the field offense and defense. Well, yeah, I know. 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.440 So what do you do? I mean, you don't let 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.919 him have the luxury of time. You try to take 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.320 that away from him. You try to put pressure in 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.679 the face of Patrick Mahomes as quickly as you can. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.120 You try to address the situation at the offense at 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.560 the line of scrimmage. I'm talking about receivers and running 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.200 backs and stuff as a imediately as you can, so 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.440 it's not like you're going to play passive football. You've 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.840 got really nothing to play for, so you can be 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.680 as aggressive as you want and nothing scares a team more. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.359 That's getting ready for the playoffs is having a home 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.120 opponent with a hostile crowd, and then as the aggressive 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.680 as you have the possibilities of being. Like all quarterbacks, 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:25.120 they do dissolve a little bit under pressure. He Patrick Mahomes, 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.080 his percentage completion percentage is drastically different under pressure, but 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.639 he still makes big plays under pressure because he's got 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.480 that guns linger mentality. Where do you see him being 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.320 attackable by the Bears defense? You know, I think it's 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.880 they're kind of fortunate to play back to back games 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.320 against Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Holmes because I think a 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.040 lot of the philosophical thinking of how you attack great 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.320 quarterbacks starts with the way you attack Aaron Rodgers and 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.560 can filter to Patrick Mahomes. So I think the direction 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.360 that you want to put pressure on him, which way 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.640 do you want to force him to be the most 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.520 vulnerable when he's trying to gay pressure and trying to 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.160 advance the ball forward. I don't I think that you 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.400 have a contained rush that you try to keep him 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.480 inside a small area to work with, even though he's 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.040 got the arm talent that is as good as anybody 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.560 out there. I do think that you can when you, 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.240 you know, get him on an outdoor, natural grass field cold, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.160 see the way his receivers are running, if if it's 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.120 if the atmosphere is you know, blustery and stuff. So 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.159 I think he didn't care about that. Said, but you 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.400 have see that NFL films. Yeah, but you have to 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.760 take everything into account when you're thinking about how you're 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.320 attacking him. That's supposed to be forty eight degrees too. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.359 You know, you would like a little snowstorm or something 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.560 like that little holiday. Well, I mean, look at the 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.440 evidence that they have. Last week they're playing in a 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.279 snowstorm against the Denver Broncos, and that's like the Denver 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.400 Broncos aren't there and is only the Kansas City Chiefs 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.159 having fun. Well, he has fourteen passes of forty yards 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.560 or more, nine for touchdowns. That's number one in the league. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.359 And that's certainly what his m as, no question about it. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.560 But he's got all this speed. Obviously this is a 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.279 track team a little bit. But then you at that 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.599 tight end Travis Kelsey, and we keep talking about the 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.719 tight end position all year long, and you see what 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.000 zach Ertz does in Philadelphia, what Kelsey does for this 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.760 system with Andy Reid, and you know that's what Mattnegie 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.360 wants for the Bears eventually. Yeah, you know what. And 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.200 I know when you talk about the two tight ends 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.640 from Philly and from Kansas City, you're talking about guys 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.440 that have been around for a long period of time 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.680 and to have put up some great numbers. You know, 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.599 I'm really interested in watching the career development of Jesper 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.400 Horstead because when you look at his ability to catch 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.480 the ball, I think he has the hands that are 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.440 good enough to qualify him to be a contender in 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.160 the tight end position. As he gets bigger and stronger, 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.160 he develops into a better blocker, I think that's going 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.640 to provide more opportunities for him to catch the ball. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.640 So the position they've been searching for the most, I 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.960 do think there's a guy there that they really have 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.440 an opportunity to develop. So I don't think it's a 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.240 panic situation about the tight end position. I think it's 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.520 about the development of JP Holtz and Jesper Horstead. Defensively, 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.240 Chris Jones outstanding defensive line. Gotta block him. He can 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.520 bad dude, he can wreck a game. Yeah, he's so 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.440 quick in the middle that he can put pressure on 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.200 a quarterback into in a backfield on a running place, 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.159 so with such immediacy that he allows the other guys 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.960 to you know, kind of tackle around him. But his 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.000 snap count efficiency, his innate ability to stay on sides 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.760 within then come off the ball with explosiveness, and the 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.400 honey Badger he's he's playing well. Tyren Matthew playing very 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.160 well for them in that secondary. So you're gonna wait 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.279 and see what you're gonna trying to exploit. Obviously against 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.520 these Chiefs. Well, that's why I think the defense is better. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.080 It's gonna be interesting because I think as much as 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:40.159 you taught look at a comparative comparison between Mitch and Mahomes, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.000 how does each head coach, how does each play caller 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.120 call the game? Because I think that's what you're gonna see. People. 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:48.560 They're gonna come back and say, oh, did you see 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.120 what Andy Reid did on third down when his back 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.200 was up against the goal line. Oh, did you see 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.560 what he did in the red zone at this particular point. So, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.800 I think there's gonna be a lot of comparisons there 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.240 of of the overall efficiency and the style of attack 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.600 by the office. Looks like a team's gonna play good good. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.080 I mean, I just wanted to be healthy. The Chiem Hicks, 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.080 He's another guy that we sit up here and we 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.480 talk about the defensive tackle for Kansas City Chiefs and 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.640 Chris Jones and how good he is. You look at 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.640 the offensive lineman they're back there talking about how powerful 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.520 a Chiem Hicks is and what he can add to 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.520 the interior the Bears defensive line that helps expose opportunities 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.520 to Khalil Mack and Leonard Floyd.

Yeah, but you know what certainly deserving. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.840 You've been the best. You've been the best in the 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.720 return game, man, and you've expanded your game over over 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:32.120 years to become, you know, this season, arguably the best 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.240 gunner in the National Football League. It's been a pleasure 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.720 to watch you on special teams and then the stuff 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.320 you do on offense as well. So congratulations for that. 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.679 I mean, this is a town that had Devin Hester. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.920 Oh hey, he's a Hall of famer. He'd better be 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.199 a Hall of famer. But you know, to be an 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:53.120 all decade performer in any era is a significant accomplishment. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.160 What do you think of it? Yeah, I really haven't. 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.560 I've just seen it an hour ago and the Bears 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.000 posted in it. You know, it still haven't hit it 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.839 me yet, man, because you know, you got grace like 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.840 Devin Heister and guess there's all those guys who changed 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.400 the game, you know, who paid the way for me. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.720 So growing up as a kid, you know, looking up 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.760 to those guys you know now get to play in 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.440 safe field they played on this. It's kind of just outstanding, man. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.520 You know, I remember I really wanted an interview you 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.679 ever since you return the kickoff against the Bears for 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.880 the touchdown, and you know that it was such a 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.920 big play that came back to haunt the Bears all 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.960 throughout the offseason. But you know, that's that's where your 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.960 talent lives. You know, you're one of the most threatening 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.880 kick returners in the history of the NFL. So now, 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.280 I don't know if I agree with the way kickoff 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.520 returners are now because I enjoy that you return it 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.680 all the time. That's what that's what I want to see. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.959 So when the ball is kicked off, do you follow 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.160 the flight of the ball the entire way, or do 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.080 you have a chance to peek at the coverage and 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.400 then refocus on the football. I'm not really worrying about 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.439 the coverage and stuff because I trust those ten guys 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.439 that's out the blocking for me. And you know, in 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.520 Tave's he give me the green Like each and every 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.440 time the ball is kick he say, if you can 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.160 get to the ball, we're gonna return it, don't matter 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.520 no matter where is that if it's kicking on deep 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.400 or whatever. And he always say when we're playing at home, 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.720 is they got to kick it in the river for 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.000 us now to return the ball? So we're gonna always 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.040 return the Thank goodness because what the league has done 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.520 with the rules of the game. And I'm an old 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.000 fashioned guy. I love the way the game was born 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.600 and how it was meant to be played. And it 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.200 includes kickoffs. It includes you know, on sight kicks, it 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.920 includes all of that, everything that you're good at. Were 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.400 you worried at any point in your career when things 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.000 started changing with the kickoffs, They basically saying this a 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:40.120 precaution reason or tournamentimize concussions and stuff like that. But 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.679 you know, some guys they only play special teams, and 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.679 you know that's that's the only job. And you know, 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.400 some people, we just go out there give it our heart. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.160 You know, you're trying to take the fun out of 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.200 the game for some of us gots. So every chance 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:51.400 we get out of get out there, we just try 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.840 to make a play. Every game I've ever played in 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.079 in the NFL, I was on kickoff return from a 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.400 first game to my last game, and you think how 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:03.640 specifically choreographed blocking scheme is on the kickoff return. Um 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.440 The one against the Chicago Bears that you return, it 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.800 seemed like they had a creaset open and you were 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.840 gone there. I mean it was, it was evident. So 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.200 when you you got to read your first blockers to 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.280 your second level, to your third level. Is when you 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.240 talk about an offensive running player, there's a line of 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.280 scrimmage and everything beyond it. When you talk about a 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.400 kickoff return, you're reading blocks for almost thirty five yards. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.559 Is that something that you you just do on the move, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.280 or because of the way the returns are choreographed, you 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.679 know kind of how to pre predict what's going to 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.600 happen in front of you. It all starts that practice. Yeah, 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.520 Coach days. He gives us every look that's possible, what 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.959 that coordinated and did over every year. So he's out 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.520 there for twenty minutes just going over kickoff return. So 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.160 he gave us a good, good insight on you know, 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.360 what they expect from those guys. So and it's all 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.679 about your instinct, man. You just gotta you know, you 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.280 just gotta go out there and just be ready. You know, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.800 some guys they don't trust the eight blocks, you know, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.240 and I trusting these guys one hundred percent. So every 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.760 time the ball is kid, we're gonna bring it out. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.800 So after the flyer play that you didn't get the fumble, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.920 that was an obvious fumble. I saw you right after halftime. 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.840 You walked out of the locker room when you walked 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.520 right up to an official. Were you still talking to 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:16.520 the official about that play? Of course? Man? First that 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.360 got did I got a locker room. Man. I went 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.880 straight to my cell phone. You know, my girlfriend she 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.880 sent me a video of it, and I just watched 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.160 it like thirty times, like no, no, lie, I watched 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.120 it like thirty times, just Washington, Washington watching it, and 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.839 I started on coach tays and everything, and it was 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.760 like that was a good play. So what did you 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.800 address to the official at that time, just how you 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.040 knew that he was wrong, or did you kind of 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.800 explain the A to B two C type of play there? Oh? No, 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.480 I would never tell officially wrong even though when they wrong, right, 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.680 she can't tell him that. So I just went up. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.679 So I was like, hey, what was going on at 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.760 that play? He was like, you got there too early? 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:52.520 And I was like, no, I didn't. I just I 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.120 just watched the film over and over and over and 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.800 over and over, and I got there so as he 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.520 caught the ball and I made a play. If you 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.600 brought him a doughnut, you think he would have honestly, Man, 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.600 this week, I think I'm going to bring my four 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.800 dozen and dough nuts ball? All right? So I'm kickoff, 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.280 returning to following the flight of the ball. And so 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.040 now on a punt team, do you ever get a 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.440 chance to track the football or is it all you're 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.920 following the kick returner and how he's reacting. Oh, you 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.160 definitely got to watch the ball, but you can't look 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.720 at it too too long because you know you got 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.240 no great returners out there. They they trick in with 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.640 the things they do. So I just try to get 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.720 a good field for what the ball was, Pattio's kicking it, 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.680 and just how to look at returns. Is he gonna 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.120 catch it? In Cordell Patterson our guest here on Chicago 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.280 Sports Radio six seventy the Score. This is a Bears 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.080 All access from PNC Studios at had us all brought 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.560 to you by IGS Energy. I want to say what 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.480 I have to say about that play. So when when 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.200 when it happened, I lost my mind, I really did. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.600 I could not believe that that was a reversal or 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.320 they wouldn't say that it's Bears football, because that's the 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.240 underrated aspect of this that no one's It was a 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.240 possession change into the Bear's hands of a great field position, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.720 and then you got a penalty and a thirty five 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.959 yard line start for the greatest quarterback arguably in the game. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.760 That's tough duty for your defense. Talk about sudden change, 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.080 that's that is like a turnover by the offense. That's 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.360 that's essentially what it was. But what was the explanation 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.240 they gave you? That's the part I'm looking for beyond 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.480 saying that. But you say, you know, oh, you're you 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.480 didn't give him room, but you reacted and he never 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.400 put his hand in the air. That's that's a veteran 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.400 in Tremont Williams. Yeah, it's kind of no answer they 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.800 can give. You know, I feel like once they make 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.480 a call, they're gonna stick to it because you know, 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.400 they're just like any human being. Whatever they say go 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.120 if they don't want to be wrong. So whatever they 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.320 call the States And yeah, all right, Tom talked about instincts. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.480 You talked about instincts in the return game, but you're old. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.000 Coach George Stewart with the Minnesota Vikings said, the man 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.840 was blessed with great vision. And when I used to 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.320 interview Devin Hester, that's right, don't we love Devin Hester? Everybody? 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.600 He always used to tell me, because you know, you're 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.840 trying to dig into the mind of a great player, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.160 and he always told me he just looked for color, 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.560 the opposite team's color. And that's what his vision was. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.280 It wasn't necessarily lanes and green grass. It was color, 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.680 and so you see color, you run the other way. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.920 He made it that simple. Is it that simple? When 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.880 you got ahead of steam as an explosive a player 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.760 as you are. I mean, David hust anything simple for him, man, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.920 because the great things he did. You know, if he's seen, 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.200 you know the cluer. He goes all the way. And 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.160 I'm a guy I just look at the end zone 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.600 when I see the zone, just trying to get to 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.440 the endzone every time I get the ball in my hands, 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.440 no matter what. One of the best plays of the season, 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:41.880 the one of the most exciting plays, and I don't 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.800 know if I ran in the locker room that week 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:49.440 or whatever, was when you sprinted to the ball on 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.040 the punt and it became an exciting play. You chasing 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:54.320 the ball so it wouldn't go on the ends. And 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.440 one game was that again, when you're down that punt 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.640 inside first Detroit game, that was one of the most 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.720 exciting plays of the season. I literally was out of 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.960 my mind. Is he gonna get there? And he got 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.400 there and touched the ball down. That's fun stuff. When 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.200 you talk about exciting plays, people just want to dismiss 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.640 special teams as a necessity. Like our guy Doug Collette 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.040 always says, it's the most important down on football is 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.240 fourth down. That was a great play, an underrated, ridiculous play. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.440 You chasing a football to down it. But because you're 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.480 so fast and so explosive, that became an exciting play. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.160 People were out of their seats with that one. Do 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.480 you even have that kind of excitement for that play? Oh? Man? 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.160 That play? It was amazing. Man, Patio, he'd been doing 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.400 hell of a job. Pattle down everybody, patal down it. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.480 He's been doing heck of a job all year, given 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.840 us gunners, you know, opportunities to make plays each and 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.800 every Sunday, Thursday, Monday. So whenever he put the ball 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.280 or we just had to go out and get in, 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.840 there's no way I couldn't get to that ball because 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.600 it balanced it perfectly and it just landed where only 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.240 I could have gotten the ball. At the time, you know, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.480 it looked like you and Sheriff McManus had a really 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.000 fun competitive flyer type of competition after betting. Then Shrik 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.960 got hurt. Now you got Deon Bush out there. We 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:06.960 had Shrik on here a couple of weeks ago, and 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.480 he talked about the competitive fund that you guys could have. Specifically, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.800 he was, you know, he's a he's a great special 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.840 team player that's made a career at it at a 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.879 high level. Do you have to kind of poke the 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.600 guy whoever takes over for Sherick McManus to try to 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.000 get that enthusiasm out of him, or Dion Bush stepping 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.440 up to the plate, does he approach it with the 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.040 same enthusiasm that you and Sherrik were doing. I mean, Dion, 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.480 he already knew what what's that stake, So he knows 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.040 Shri was the ace of our special team. So he 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.080 he's not trying to be better than him. He's not 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:39.480 trying to be him. He's just trying to go in 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.000 and just just feel the rule and just playing a part, 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.200 you know, just not trying to be somebody you're not. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.119 Cordelle Patterson our guest. We're gonna take a break here 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.480 on Bears and All Access. We're at P ANDC Studios 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.600 at had a song with Top there.

Back at PNC Studios Here at HOLLISAU, 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.920 Jeff and Tom with you and pleased to be joined 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.000 by our special guest this week, the Pro Bowler, third 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.320 time named to the Pro Bowl, Cordarrel Patterson, and what 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.040 has been an outstanding year for him? Number two and 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.679 average and kick return but number one in yards and 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.800 I believe still you're the only player in the league 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.760 to have three one hundred plus yard return days. And 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.560 you know you started looking at those things. Hey, it's 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.360 like running backs. You know, you only get so many opportunities. 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.400 So that's that's a pretty good number right there too. 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.679 I always ask the returners who happened to be the 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.720 returner for the whole see how many looks like a 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.800
