Yeah? 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.240 Doing good? Now? That was absolute blast last night. The 0:00:56.320 --> 0:01:00.160 city was going crazy, the fans were going crazy, our 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.040 players were going crazy because of that and came out 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:04.679 with the victory. Were brought to you by a Whippley 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.840 Financial Advice was going to be with you for the 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.080 next hour talking Bears football. As we always discussed and 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.120 everybody who loves the game knows every week as a 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.360 new drama in the National Football League. There was wonder 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.639 out there how this game was going to flush out, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.880 even for you right, yeah, they're head coaching for sure. No, 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.560 it's uh, you know, such a great game. It was 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.680 great for really football fans in general. A lot of 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.960 different types of matchups that people were looking forward to, 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.440 and you know, I think people got what they wanted 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.959 and I just uh to be a part of that. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.600 Lots of great plays, so Ralph. Defensively speaking, you know, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.120 both sides were really getting after those offenses and uh 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.639 but in the end, ultimately, you know, we stuck together 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.640 as a team, um and did exactly what we needed 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.279 to do to get to win. It turns out defense 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.960 is still involved. That's right, You're right, and it's I'm 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.880 sure glad that we have our defense. I know that. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.000 What do you think of it? Well, they're relentless. That's 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.760 the one word that I just kept thinking about this 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.920 morning as I was watching. You know, the tape is 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.080 really uh. As you know, we always talk about the 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.240 green grass and having a quarterback having enough pocket in 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.880 front of him to make throws. And really last night, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.120 I thought our defense that was the number one thing 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.000 that they did was they took away the green grass 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.120 from Jared Goff. They were they were able to to 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.760 really just stay in his face, make every throw a 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.200 difficult one. And then our dbs on the back end, 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.760 they were there right on time and h you know, 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.000 breaking up passes and it was just a really really 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.440 cool night. The cool part of it too, you know, 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.160 you had to really do the best you could to 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.880 contain Todd Gurley. Otherwise it could have been a different 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.080 situation with the play action game and whatnot because of 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.760 who he is the play actions there anyway, But to 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.359 hold him the twenty eight lost game in forty eight 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.440 games of his career, yeah, that's that's tough to do. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:57.440 And uh, it's not just Todd Gurley, but it's that scheme. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.600 It's it's the quarterback. You know. They does a great 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.120 job with the offensive line with all the wax and 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.280 the backs and the slices that they do with their 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.480 their tight ends and um, so for our offense to 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.280 go out there and and limit him to twenty eight yards, 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:12.560 I think you could ask a lot of people and 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.480 they wouldn't believe you if you if you said you 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.840 were going to do that, and we did it. Here's 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.079 the other thing people don't believe too. When you you 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.360 gotta break it down, you gotta watch every snap, is 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.760 that every single one of those guys on defense had 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.799 a hand in this thing. Yeah, that's the other part 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.280 of it too. And that's what I think, Um, really, 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.640 you know elevates this defense versus a lot of other defenses. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.840 Is it is all about these different positions. These guys 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.120 are out there just feeding off of each other, and 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.520 it's the next man up, it's the next play mentality. Um, 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.920 it really doesn't matter who you are. Somebody's trying to 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.880 get a piece of it. How's Bryce Callahan doing the 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.320 nickel defender left in the second quarter earlier today? Said, Uh, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.280 I think you said a lower leg injury. Yeah, he had. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.960 He has a has a left foot. So we'll get 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.040 that looked at here in the next really twenty four 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.400 hours and get a idea where he's at. And uh, 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.840 you know, but it's he's he's a great player for us, 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.080 and and uh you know, we're keeping our fingers And 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.240 Cherrick McManus came in there and you know, he had 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.160 to hit, he had to make the tackles because those 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.880 guys can get a lot after the catch, and he 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.680 didn't allow that to happen. And he turned out he 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.479 led the team and tackles. Yeah, you know, Cherik was 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.280 It was impressive to see him really sticking his nose 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.880 in there on a lot of a lot of a 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.080 lot of those runs where they try to break contained 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.080 and he was able to shoot him in there and 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.680 make a tackle, uh, and prevent any any long runs 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.720 or any outside outside zone runs. And so that was 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.799 a great job by him stepping in like that. Wouldn't 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.680 have won the game if you didn't get what you 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.200 did get from your offense though, in particular in the 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.279 running game. But you know, there were key plays, key passes. 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.120 It wasn't the best day for Mitch obviously in the offense, 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.640 but there was enough to get it done. Yeah, And 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.680 sometimes you'll have those games. Uh, you know, we we 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.240 were at a point yesterday where they were, you know, 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.920 playing a little bit more zone defense and uh get 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.960 in us a little bit. There are some different looks 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.000 for the run, and I thought the offensive line did 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.360 a phenomenal job at protected in the past game when 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.400 we did throw and then creating lanes for those running backs, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.680 and you saw Tarik and Jordan both having some nice 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.680 little runs there. To flip the field position in a 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.279 game like that, that's huge. So when we talked before 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.480 the game, our pregame interview, you were taking a look 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.200 at very specific things to make a difference in this game. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.520 One it was turnovers, obviously, but you won that turnover 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:36.760 battle once again. Having time of possession turned out to 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.240 be really big against that offense. You just wanted the 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.400 team to play fast. I think these are things that 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.440 all came to fruition, and then you threw in the 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.880 added element of getting getting something out of your run game, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.279 stopping their run, getting creative in the red zone again, 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.120 and playing suffocating defense. It was a really formula win. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.159 Yeah it was, and it was different. But our guys, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.680 when you're able to on offense, if they're not going 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.440 to give you the big plays and they're going to 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:01.920 take that away, then you have to be able to 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.640 get first downs. You can't go three and out. There 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.560 was time to where I felt like we were able 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.760 to move the sticks and get at least two first downs. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.839 And what that does is that allows your defense to 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.440 have at least a little bit of a breather on 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.240 the sideline before they come back out. You know, we 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.280 did have the one turnover the sudden change, but then 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.360 our defense went right back out and very next play 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.920 they got an interception. So that's that's what I think 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.400 is so neat about our team is we just keep 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.640 plugging away, keep moving forward, and everyone's got each other's back. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:34.800 Let's talk about the building. Crowd was nuts, and it 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.880 just kept getting bigger. The crescendo built throughout the night. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.880 It's what you want, it's what you're looking for. It's 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.119 what you kind of sent out their message wives throughout 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.360 the course the weekend, and frankly you have all season long. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.120 Are you getting what you're looking for? Yeah, last night 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.920 was Last night was awesome. They you could just tell 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.400 every time they were out there on offense, you know, 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.039 and there's some communication that goes on now between the 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.920 coach and the quarterback and and uh so for the 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.719 fans to be super loud, it's hard to hear. And 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.200 you saw there was a couple of times they had 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:06.480 to take time out, so there was a couple of 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.800 false starts that they had that's a credit to the 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.760 fans anyway you want to look at it. That that's 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.320 that's a credit. Yeah, the hands go up, you know 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.600 that that that he's that he's having trouble. And so 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.880 the other big part about that is that the players 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.600 and I can't stress this enough. The players just feed 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.720 into it so much. And it's amazing what some what 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.000 some great crowd noise can do. And so it's just 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.280 fun for everybody. And Uh, what I thought was was 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.760 the coolest part was it wasn't just a couple of 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.040 plays here or there. I mean, the crowd was going 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.280 crazy from start to finish. Yeah, and you didn't lose them. 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.600 I mean, you know that's that's a credit to what 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.600 you guys were doing and how you went about doing it. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.080 There were other tweaks that I was honestly unaware of 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.960 being in the booth with my headset on. But everybody's 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.320 writing and talking about it with an air raid siren 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:55.840 and all this other game presentation. Uh did that help? 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.440 Or I mean, are these things that you guys want? Isn't? 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.000 But yeah, it all helps. And that's again a credit 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:06.320 to everybody in the organization working together to make it 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.400 a really fun and advantageous environment, you know, doing it 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.600 the right way and doing it legally obviously with the noise, 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.040 and that's what we did. And when you can do that, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.720 it just amps everybody else up at home. That's why 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.640 you want to have home field advantage. That's why you 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.120 want to protect Soldier field. And we did that six 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:26.840 and one, with one more to go against the Green 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.760 Bay Packers coming up on Sunday. The Bears Coaches Show 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.960 with head coach Matt Maggie and w bbm's Jeff Joniac continues, 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.120 So fullard is a wing to the left side of 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.920 the formation, heads in motion of the right, with blown 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:45.319 Nichols in the backfield, Trabisky with Hicks, the fake handoff, 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:51.199 Trubisky pops a pass duck rarely soul touchdown, touchdown, Bears 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.480 hand the tricks jeep on coming from that. Naggie another 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.760 great design hand The Bears are of fourteen six here 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.640 on the If I knew ahead of time, we'd call 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.040 that Santa's Slave, but you know, we find that after 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.920 the fact. And yeah, you know what, I just want 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.720 you to know this because Tom and I on the 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.640 broadcast we have fun with it, obviously, but my eyes 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.079 open up. I see four defensive guys going out there 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.319 in ninety numbers and souls out there, and so you know, 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.800 you just get riveted. But you know, I don't mean 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.559 to demean the play calling on something like this and 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.360 calling get trick, because it's not a trick that should 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:33.120 be eliminated. From my conversation, these are actual sound design, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.840 meaningful red zone plays that just don't have your typical 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.000 skill sets, you know what I'm saying. So I want 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.560 to apologize. They're not tricks. They're plays that are meaningful. 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.560 So I want to get that out there right away. 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.520 I hope you don't get offended by, you know, the 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.280 description of that, because they are there. There's something else 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.160 and I know they'll keep on coming in a variety 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.960 of ways. But what's it doing to your sideline, what's 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.520 it doing to your locker room? What's it doing to 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.240 your day to day? We touched on it last week, 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.120 but it's now getting to the point where anybody at 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.760 any time could potentially be called the duty. Yeah, well, 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.880 the guys like it, and whether it's different people on 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:16.400 offense with other offensive lineman or it's the defensive players. Um, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.200 you know, like I've said before, we have fun with 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.320 it during the week and just going in and knocking 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.160 on Vick's door and pulling out a couple of the 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.520 guys calling out their numbers and when their number gets 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.640 called there, they get they get pretty pumped up about it. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.319 Doesn't mean it's gonna get run, but we'll practice it 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.640 and and who knows what the play is gonna be. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.120 Uh uh and if it's ever gonna work. But you know, 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.920 I just think that it's important to h to evolve 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.680 everybody and if you do it the right way and 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.720 you have some reasoning behind it. So far, we've been 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:53.719 kind of fortunate they've been working there. You're looks like, yeah, yeah, no, 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.880 I'm not surprised, but I just know that we're We're 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.920 glad they're working and and uh, but you do there, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.560 whatever you call them, whether it's tricks or deceptive, Um, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.800 what it does is it it puts the defense out 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.080 a little bit of a disadvantage because, um, if you've 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.480 never done it before, there's no way they can possibly 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.640 have have scheme for it. And uh, that's to me 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.240 an advantage to the offense. Why are you doing it? 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:22.600 Like what like nobody's doing this? Yeah, Matt Nage, Well, I, uh, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.960 you know, we're I've always been kind of into being 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.120 out of the box with that kind of stuff. I've 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.520 always been that way, and uh um, why not? You know, 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.040 it's it's the guys love it. If the guys hated 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.120 it and it wasn't fun, I wouldn't do it. But 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.319 they love it and it just helps, it helps bring 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.320 us all together. And trust me, they're super excited on 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.920 the sideline. They want they want you to call that play. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.200 They want to be a part of it. And then 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.360 they got to execute it. I mean, what a great 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.480 throw by Mitch yesterday, what a great catch by Bradley, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:57.160 great seale by by all the lineman Bachem to act 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.480 like he had the ball. And then there's Roy uh 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.800 you know, Robertson. He's Royson the back running the back 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.800 end line and he wants the ball. You know, he's 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.120 telling us today that he was more open than Bradley, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.320 you know, which is a complete bold lie. But uh 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.160 but it's fun and our guys like it's so why not? 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.600 So what's Andy Reid thinking? Because this is your mentor 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.000 and you know in time and I talked about this 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.400 today because he comes from the Lavelle Edwards Tree. He 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.640 was a tackle at BYU and A and a revolutionary 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:29.400 passing game at that school. Uh would he be proud 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.800 as an offensive lineman of a three hundred pounder catching 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.040 that touchdown pass? What would he be thinking? Absolutely? He 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.520 is into all of that. And you know we uh 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.200 we we've put together some plays in Kansas City the 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.240 last several years. I mean, shoot, you look at don 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.680 Terry Poe. He had a rushing touchdown, he had a 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:51.200 passing touchdown against the Broncos with the bloated tebout pass, 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.600 and um, I mean we have great we have some 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.360 great ones now and so he loves all that and uh, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.560 that's that's that's what I know, That's what he knows. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.240 And and uh they've been good to us, So let's 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.719 let's keep it going. Is he text you after this? 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.680 A matter of fact, he just texted here a little 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.079 bit ago, So uh yeah, no, we stay in touch, 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.400 and I know he appreciates it. He roots us on 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.840 and and he likes it. I mean, you know, coach, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.520 I mean he's he's an outside the box thicker as well, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:24.600 and again progressive minded, um different but yet calculated and 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.440 when you have it that way, Um, usually good things happen, 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.000 and so far we've been fortunate with that and only 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.960 two teams in the league with a second half lead 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.199 this season, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago pretty 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.880 cool every single game, pretty Niche means, you know, these guys, 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.480 you're in everything, sure every time. It's another compliment to 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.839 you though, And I think this is and I mentioned 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.079 this in the broadcast yesterday we were wrapping it up 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.800 as I had the adrenaline rush of excitement because it's 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.160 it's it's great to see your general manager who hand 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.640 picked you to be the head coach, you guys working together. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.960 But a coach it gets a roster play layers and 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.120 feels like he can coach every single one of them, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.840 and he's got something for every single one. He just 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.320 doesn't say, well, I can't really use you right now, 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.240 all right, I can't coach you. You don't think that way, 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.120 And this is an example, Yeah, yeah, no, I And 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.400 I wasn't raised that way in the coaching world. With 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.000 coach read you know, that's one thing you always see 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.240 and I believe that you know, it's it's uh, whoever 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.680 is there for you, that's who we roll with, and uh, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.520 it's our job as coaches to make sure that we adapt. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.000 If you don't adapt, that that old saying adapt or die, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.320 and you need to be able to adapt. You got to. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.920 It's Uh, there's a lot of teams right now that 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.320 are going through different issues and different struggles. Um, some 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.400 are more fortunate than others. But um, whatever situation we're in, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.120 you know, you know, I'm just You're not going to 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:45.920 find that from from me. You're not going to find 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.680 that from our other coaches. That's just not how we 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.760 do it. And so whatever cards were dealt were dealt, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.400 and we need to make the no more of the 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.880 Bears Coaching Show with head coach Matt Maggie on news 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.040 Wadio seven eighty and one out five point nine FM 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.120 w BBM, Sullivan sends it back to big push up 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:11.600 front down safety Eddie Goldman, a vicious front push by 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.560 that Bears front bore and then gets to God for 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.080 the end zone. It turned out to be big and 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.000 the Bears get the ball back and drive down and score. 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.920 So that was a significant moment in the game. Yeah, 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.760 without a doubt, that's where you can kind of feel 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:29.000 things heading our way and Eddie and and Keem getting 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.440 in there, Eddie just making a great play and getting 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.560 in there for the sack. Uh. And now in order 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.200 to get to that part, it was the play before 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.560 that where fifty two and ninety four both both forced 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.920 Gurly to lose four or five yards and get into 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:48.080 that position. And so I thought that was significant. Uh. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:49.680 And then we were able to get to football, go 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.280 down the field and get to score, and that was 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.400 nice to be able to go up nine points. Yeah, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.880 it was. It was a ferocious push by those guys 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.760 up front. And I think a chem Is man, he's 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.480 playing at a whole different level right now. He is there's, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.680 without a doubt, and I'm really happy for him. The 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.640 energy that he's playing with. When he brings it, he's 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.200 really unstoppable when when he wants to be. He's just 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:18.280 such a big, strong, powerful, tall He understands run game 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:22.240 versus the play action pass, and when he penetrates through 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.160 that that first line of defense, he's just so long, 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.200 and yet he has a burst to him as well. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.160 So all those guys together, they're really doing a great job. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.440 Let's talk a little vic Fangio. His players are calling 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.680 him every you can wizard, you know, the evil genius. 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.760 I know everybody calls him the godfather. How much is 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.600 he enjoying this because you can't really tell the time. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.040 He's having a lot of fun, And you're right, you 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.680 can't always tell. But I think that's one of his qualities, 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.920 of one of his good traits is he always just 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.960 stays kind of composed. And even Kiel and the players 0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:59.760 feud off of that, and they trust him. They know 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.240 system is great, it really works. Uh you know, they 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.159 they he puts them in good positions and then when 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.000 they're in that position, they got to make the play. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.200 And both both times in both cases yesterday with the 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.920 coaching on that side and the players, they did that, 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.280 and you gave him the opportunity to break down the 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.520 locker room. We all saw that on video. How important 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.879 as you've been in this position as a coordinator, is 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.359 that a coordinator to come up there and represent his 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.040 side of the ball in that kind of fashion with 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.080 all the all the team with him, offensive players you know, 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.080 going crazy too. Yeah, Well, anybody that knows Vic knows 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.800 that he's the last person that wants to do that, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.520 and that's okay. Um, But I just felt like it 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.680 was way too important. Number one, h too many guys 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.600 on defense played played too good and to be able 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.960 to just pick one person. But on top of that, 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:49.960 I just thought it was a perfect opportunity for the 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.159 way our defense has been playing this entire year, for 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.760 the leader of the defense and coach Fangio to be 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.159 able to get the breakdown. And I know the players 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.720 liked it, and deep down on the side him, I 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.119 hope Vic appreciated it. But we're all in this thing together, 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.240 and there's gonna be times when the defense bails out 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.639 the offense and the special teams has a couple of 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.480 touchdowns and the offense um scores forty points. Uh. And 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.760 yesterday just happened to be one of those games where 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.440 field position was out of premium and turnovers and sacks 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.680 and it was going to be a defensive battle. So 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.520 an interview with Khalil mac right after the game, his quote, mattee, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.800 he's a perfect man for the job. As that make 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.840 you feel and you have connected with these guys much 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.400 like you were talking about last week about Sean mcfay connecting. 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.760 You noticed that too. I mean that's a critical edge 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.879 for a coach. Yeah, No, that means the world to me, 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:45.600 and I think that for our coaches, for myself to 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.040 have that respect from our players and for them to 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.119 know that how much respect they have from us, and 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:52.960 how how we want to do this thing together and 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.479 we want to lead them and let them follow us 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.120 and then them go do it. But that that connection 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.159 is too important and if we're if we're gonna make 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.520 you know, a final push and a run at this thing, 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:06.560 we all got to do it together. We all got 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.080 to believe, and we got we all got to be 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.719 there to support one another. And that's just an example 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:12.200 of that week when you played the pack. If you 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.479 get him on Sunday, how different of a team are 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.000 they going to be facing, Well, it'll be it'll be 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.960 different from both sides they have. They have a different 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.199 look defensively, they have they've been banged up a little bit, 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.040 a couple of guys on ir Offensively, they have some 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.680 guys back that they didn't have, so, um, it'll be 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.480 obviously a big challenge for us. They got a great 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.080 quarterback obviously in Aaron Rodgers. Um, but our guys will 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.919 be ready, they'll be very focused and um, it seems 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.720 like forever ago that first that first game in Lambeau. 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.600 But you go back and you think about it, how 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.560
