Hey everybody, Jeff Johnny Ac along with 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.040 Tom Fair and Jim Miller. Welcome to another edition of 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:37.000 Bears All Access. Good evening. Hope everybody's doing great out there. 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.159 You and I haven't been face to face out of 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.720 the show for several weeks, you know, obsessed with obsessed 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.400 that the term of the year for the Chicago Bears 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.839 from coach Naggy. Obsessed with OTAs and mini camps. And 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.280 now it's the downtime a little bit. So good to 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.720 see you, big Tim and Jim when you're making your 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.400 way back to town. That's what I want to know. 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.560 I will be back probably in a few weeks. I'll 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.320 be back, and I will be out of training camp 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.040 down there in Bourbon, a lovely Bourbon. A hope to 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.440 show up there towards the end. Of July, probably the 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.200 twenty sixth through the twenty eighth. No, the Bears started early. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.160 But you know what, could he says, Football's finally here. 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.399 I can't wait for it. He's the only Jim rolls 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.080 with a private pilot. He doesn't. He does a roll 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.000 with a limo driver or maybe drive his own self 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.000 here for god knows four and a half hours. Jim 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.240 as a private pilot lands is close to the practice 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.720 fields around the NFL landscape as he can. And I 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.160 don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing, 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.839 but but I've had you know, adult cocktails with that pilot. 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.720 You know when he's coming. So probably I'm the only 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.920 one stupid enough to trust him as a buddy of 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.000 mine to fly with him. But he's always appreciate itself. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.600 Oh yeah, he's a great guy. But you know, I 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.039 believe this, And as I've been pouring over the stuff 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.000 or you know, you're gonna be looking on all these 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.680 players now, just not just the fifty three you think 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.520 you're gonna make this roster, but the ninety guys. Learning 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.840 little nuggets about everybody over the course of the next 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.840 five weeks or so, so you can hit the ground running. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.160 But you know, a year ago, I always said I 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.360 honestly thought it was something along the lines you just 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.079 don't know what to expect this year. You could say that, 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.000 but I'm going to add, you miss a little, you 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.360 can miss a lot because this is going to change 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.280 rapidly from one day to the next. I believe this 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.600 team will grow. You guys agree, Well, you know the 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.000 thing about it last, no matter what we all want 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.200 to sit here and think in the nice rosy pitcher 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.160 we painted, there was the divide at the beginning of camp. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.880 When you have Mike Glennon and your draft Mitchell Trubisky. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.400 There's no secret, no denying that. So that would really 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.560 created a little bit of angst at the beginning of 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.480 camp because the reality of it is is you want 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.440 to turn this thing around and start winning football games, divisions, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.560 playoff games, right, So you didn't know who really gave 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.080 you the best opportunity even at the conclusion of camp. 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.720 I think right now, at the end of OTAs the 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.200 end of mini camp, going into camp, you know exactly 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.960 what you got at that position, and I think it's 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.639 really important. Yeah, And we always talk about, you know, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.520 here the limited practice time and how your break up reps, 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.160 because yeah, a lot was dedicated to reps to you know, 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.800 Mike Glennon, but here you're still trying to bring along 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.079 a young quarterback that you know, at some point in 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.440 time he's your franchise face the franchise and going to 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.519 be your quarterback of the future, and they want to 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.880 give him work as well. That's not the case this year. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.360 So I think, like where you're talking about Jeff the growth, 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.240 it's great for Mitchell Trubisky that he basically has gotten 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.040 every rep with the ones, learning a new system, learning 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.840 the nuances, and has his feet wet already from playing 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.040 in year one. So I do expect rapid growth from 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.920 his standpoint as well. And that growth has to come 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.240 for this team to make the next step, and it 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.200 will take some time. There's no question. A new offense 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.840 and a completely new designed offense with all the coaches, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.920 all the players learning at the same time, which I 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.800 do think is a bonus as well. We're gonna remind 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.960 me to bring up Kyle Shanahan at a news conference 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.800 I guess this week talking about how teams are going 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.240 to defend the read option now have they figured it out? 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.520 And he had a great answer, So I want to 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.520 talk about it a little bit later as it pertains 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.280 to Mitchell Trubisky, because I think he checks all the 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.680 boxes of how to operate that offense, because it's not 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.520 just about read option. It's what you do off of 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.120 the read option if they stop it, and what you're 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.240 able to do beyond that to open up the entire field. 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:19.760 And I thought he had a great answer to that. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.839 We're gonna be talking about Prince of Mukamara coming up 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.920 as well in our next segment. The veteran cornerback is 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.840 a big piece to that defensive puzzle, and we oftentimes 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.480 lose sight of the defense because we're only focused on 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.960 this offensive. Head coach a great staff. He's put together 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.800 the development of Mitchell Trubisky and all these new pieces. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.920 But I was just downstairs at WBBM, and you know, 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.520 Keith John says, Hey, how aggressive, how developed is this 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.680 defense going to be? And that's the question I haven't 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.160 got very much asked about. Okay, on the other side 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.320 of Prince of Mukamara, we need to talk about the 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.320 whole division because there's so many coaching changes within the division. 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.479 Not only you're gonna have a hard time predicting about 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.920 what the Bears are actually gonna be offensible. You're gonna 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.680 a little bit about them defensively. Each team has home 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.160 has had so much transition within the division on their 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.840 coaching staff. There's gonna be a lot of changes all 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.040 over the map. And I think that's gonna be the 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.880 most interesting with our division is what is Detroit gonna 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.080 be all about? Is Matthew staff are going to come 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.440 back when Matt Patricia is he offensive minded coach. Even 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.160 though they got jim By kuber Coutter, it's still an 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.520 you know, he's still the head coach, and so all 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.400 the other you know, offensive defenses and within this division, 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.760 it's gonna be interesting. Yeah, it's a It's a good 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.279 point because at Detroit, I think they made a conscious 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.840 effort that they need to run the football better. I 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.360 think we see that with Kerrie on Johnson, and they drafted, 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.000 they signed with Garrett Blunt, they addressed their offensive line. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.080 They feel that's better. How about Mike Burton is now 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.120 a Bearer as a fullback. Detroit couldn't even offer that 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.080 personnel group in a year ago. They didn't even have 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.520 a fullback on the roster. And so they drafted a 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.960 guy in the seventh round. He already tores acl Nick Boughton, 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.640 I think it's his name, Boden, and he tores ACL. 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.520 So they moved Nick Blore the line backer over the 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.679 fullback for Detroit. So they are they're gonna have different 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.760 person no groupings that they're going to present. And as 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.440 Tom just alluded to think of Matt Patricia, I'm here 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.159 in Motown. They're talking hybrid defense all over the place. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.640 They're gonna run four three three four, So they're gonna 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.880 be different. And how you attack them offensively, Green Bay. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.960 You bring up a great point there as Mike Penton, 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.320 he's gonna be a more of a press pressure guy, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.800 press man in terms of their cover. That's why they 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.400 drafted Jayer Alexander and Josh Jackson out of Iowa. They 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.160 feel that those guys can man up. They'll be on 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:31.400 an island outside. Bring back Joe Philbin. He'll help McCarthy 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.160 with the game plans how they used to do it 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.240 to prepare Aaron Rodgers. And then Minnesota as John d 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.760 Filippo stepping as their new OC, he's a first time 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.080 play caller. Sounds great that they got kirk Cousins for 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.839 eighty four million. But gonna take time for that offensive 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.920 get up and running. Why they get suited with each other? 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.960 I do like that coach though, I do like coach 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.960 d Philippo. Outstanding offensive mine. All right, we're gonna take 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.039 a break. Coming back, Prince and Mukamara, the Bear's veteran cornerback, 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.440 would join us.

Good evening, 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.840 my friend, How things I'm doing well? How are you 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.240 guys doing great? Doing great? Hey? I know you got 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.200 a camp coming up this summer in Glendale. A lot 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.880 of guys are doing this obviously around football. Mitchell Trubisky 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.000 just had his and mentor. And we'll get into that 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.640 as we talk in the conversation, but before we do, Prince, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.240 just want to get your feel about wanting to come 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.240 back to Chicago. You took a chance on yourself a 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.840 year ago, in a one year, did a great job, 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.560 go back to back year. That's what I'm saying. Why 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.360 why come to Chica? I'll go, my friend, why why 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.920 even with the coaching change? Yeah? UM, I think there's 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.320 there's many there's many different factors that I feel like 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.800 I've been asked this question so many times and I 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.080 feel like my my answer has changed every different time. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.200 But UM, but I I would say the main point 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.400 and on the quick bullet punch are UM one wanting 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:25.680 to win another championship in my career and UM flourishing 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.600 in this defense and UM and just the coaches. So 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.880 start number one, like wanting to win the championship my career. 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.199 I feel like the championship starts with the quarterback. Like 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.679 if you look at all the Super Bowl Championship teams, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.320 like they have a great quarterback and and I feel 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.040 like we have that in in in the Metell Trubisky, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.760 I mean, Mitchell, Mitchell knows this and and we all know, 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.199 um that I've been around the game and played and played. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.840 Is that like he still has to go out there 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.559 and prove it. But just what he shows, how he 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.000 just the leadership in maturity he demonstrates, Like even when 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.079 he was backing up planning, like this guy was like 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.400 an hour after practice throwing and then I seen I 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.360 just seem paced like gazing at him like man, and 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.199 and I was gazing at him too, like man, this 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.880 is crazy. This guy like just out of college, like 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:16.360 staying after in an hour after after practice, is still 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.600 throwing the while still making great passes, and he would 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.160 think that that's coming, but that's not coming. Like some 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.719 guys think they've already came here, they've made it. And 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.720 he was still working. So I saw that from early 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.240 on and then now his second year, just how he 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.760 approaches practice and how he takes charge of the huddle 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.199 and how he takes charge of the offense. I love that. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.280 So just to trust to Mitchell Trubisky and then flourishing 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.839 in this defense, I feel like, um Vick Sangio is 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:47.199 a mastermind. I can't I can't, um, I can't rave 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.599 about him so much like he's he's he's just a 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.320 simple mastermind with how he calls the defense. I feel 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.400 like he always puts us in great and great positions 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.000 UH to make plays. And that's and that's not um. 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.120 And you don't see that a lot in a lot 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.120 of defense. You see a lot of great players making plays, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.559 but you don't see like the actual defensive coordinator calling 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.959 great plays for the for the defense to make plays. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.959 So and I feel like that's helped my career a lot. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.760 And and just with the coaches um um coach Donntel, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:22.160 I mean it's been amazing for my career and younger 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.520 guys career just as passion and how he cares for 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.559 the players and and us ask people and just wanting 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.679 us to be better man. And then when I met Naggie, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.360 I mean it was it was it was easy. Like 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.200 as a player, you kind of always want to look 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.839 for a players coach. However, there are other coaches that 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.680 um that can fit UH, that can fit teams also 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.319 that players like, and those other coaches. I mean, I 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.440 love Coughlin, but I don't know if everyone anyone would 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.920 describe as a player coach. And this is no shot 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.319 at Coughlin. This is just as coaching style. But I 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:02.079 feel like Naggie compliments and um and I really like 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.160 that a lot. Hey Prince, last year, at the beginning 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:05.920 of the season, there were so many question marks in 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.600 the defensive backfield, and now a lot of those questions 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.960 have been answered with yourself and Kyle Fuller, Adrian Amos, 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.320 Eddie Jackson and the rest of their crew back there. Callahan, 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.120 that's been helping is can you can there be more 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:22.080 vers versatility in the defensive backfield when you guys are 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.599 in the same system, you've been around each other, and 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:30.760 you know the opponent's quarterbacks in this division aside from cousins, Yes, 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.559 I think that that call Neudy helps a lot. I 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.880 mean if you look at all the great defenses from 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:41.559 like Seattle, I mean Denver, San Francisco, when when when 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.800 Vick was there, like they all had a consistent cool 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.880 group of guys, whether's Patrick Lewis and and and the 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:54.160 safeties or Seattle with Earl Thomas cam and um and 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:59.559 Richard and Denver with Um Chris Harris Acute and and 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.680 there'ss like you always have a consistent group of guys 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.079 and um And before I got here, the defense was 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.199 already h trending trending upward, and I'm just here to 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.520 compliment that and help that. And now we can actually 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.679 start to learn to be inside each other's bodies. So 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.280 there might be a route where um Eddie, Eddie might 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.640 see and he might avoid, he might go away from 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.319 this coverage to go make a play and um and 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.520 and actually take my responsibility and just stuff like that. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.920 You start to work and sink and kind of cover 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.079 each other, and when a defense starts to do that, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.439 it gets scary. A prince Jim Miller here, good to 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.600 talk to you, my friend. And you mentioned that Super 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.319 Bowl year as a giant super Bowl forty six, you 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.719 went in and Eli as you mentioned the leadership that 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.720 Mitchell's is displaying. Eli Manning at that point it already 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.800 won world championship, and that was Super Bowl forty two, 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.160 and that was his third year in the league, believe 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.160 it or not, for for Eli. The reason the reason 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.160 why I'm asking this question, how did you get a 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.720 feel for those teams? I know Tom's talked about it before. 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.120 I've talked about it before of teams I've been on 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.199 coming out of, like you know, during the OTAs and 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.120 when you're practicing out there during spring ball and you say, hey, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.160 this team's got a chance. We got a good bunch 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.839 of hard working guys that love to play football, and 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.160 just how a team gels. Do you get that sense 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.360 about this year year's barrass team because it just seems 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.680 like everybody works well together and everybody's busting their fanny 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.520 to turn this around. You had some some my first 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.160 year with the Giants, I didn't really get because of 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.000 my injury. I didn't really get reunited with them into 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.040 like week ten. So I'm so I'm just a lot 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:43.199 of like chemistry and in team building that was being 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.719 done there. And I think our year was kind of 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:52.120 um different than most because we were we were just 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:56.240 trying to fight to get in. But we knew once 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.400 we got in, like it was gonna be scary because 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.319 I teams just catch on a street and you can 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:09.200 tell what what teams, what teams those are. UM. During 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.800 during the season, they just start to they just start 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.079 to approach the game differently and UM and when you 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.839 start watching foom, you start to see, wow, like this 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.840 this this team is going to be a problem. And 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.040 I and I feel like that was the type of 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.880 UM that was a type of character that we've displayed 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.360 that year we won Super Bowl. Prince Amukamara our guest 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.120 here on Bears All Access brought to you by IGS Energy. 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.400 Prince July fourteenth, The free camp for ages eight to 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.600 seventeen out in Glendale, Arizona at Apoto High School.

Um do it during this camp. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.440 And and I've never been to a kid camp when 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:05.440 when I was young. And also um, and also I've 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.080 never got to like meet and and and touch and 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:13.040 get taught by a current or former NFL players. So 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.000 the fact the fact that the fact that I can 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.560 bring this uh environment and bring this atmosphere for the 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.280 kids and in the in the city and town that 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.760 that I grew up in, I'm extremely excited about that. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.720 And um, Others Foundation. Others Foundation is a foundation that 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.520 me and me and my wife and a friend of 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:39.080 mine started. Uh. Like I mean I'm young, just turned 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.000 twenty nine, but um, like the last decade of my life, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.280 like I really feel like, uh life should really be 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.840 about others. I feel like, especially as an athlete, a 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.040 college athlete and now professional athlete, I feel like, um, 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.640 I've been taking. I've been taking a lot a lot 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.040 of stuff UM's been offered to me, and um, I 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.080 really just want to be I really just want to 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:06.080 give back and just give to others. And even after 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.960 just being the father, even being married, just realizing like, hey, 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.240 like life is not about you anymore and stuff like that, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.280 so I kind of want to spread and share that message. Well, congratulations, 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.440 It's an awesome opportunity for the kids out there and 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.600 where all the players are wherever their hometowns and doing 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.800 the camps. I think it's a great thing. Hey, Prince, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.480 real quick before we go always, I saw you get 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.120 a couple of interceptions this offseason, and that that's what 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.760 the Bears fans want to see. But give us a 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.800 snapshot of the Bears offense from day one to the 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.240 last day of training camp. Did it pick up speed, 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.560 did it pick a momentum? Is Trey Burton going to 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.680 be the weapon that I thought I saw him being 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.120 out there? Or what's going to happen with this offense. 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.840 It's kind of hard to evaluate. The offense as a 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.320 whole without in Allan Robinson because I mean because I played, 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.760 I was with him two years ago and and he 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:01.160 brings such a different dynamic, a different field to the offense. 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.800 But um, but evalue in the offense now, I feel 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:11.239 like they're very very creative. They're they're um, they're they're explosive. Uh. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.080 I don't know who's calling the plays, Nagie or coach Helfric, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.840 but the plays like they definitely keep you on on 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.280 your toes. And it's great for us as a defense 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.159 to get those different looks with the teams that we 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.960 have on our on our schedule. So um, it's it's 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.480 kind of hard to kind of uhcause at the dB UM, 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.200 especially during through going through practice, you kind of see 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.600 like a repeat of plays but with but with coach 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.200 Nagie and health again and their offense, it's kind of 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.840 hard to um to trying to narrow those plays down. 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.040 You you might get one formation you and and you 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:47.800 might get a play out of that look, and then 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.320 the next play you get the same formation but um 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.080 and say motion but complete different look. So that's what's 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.280 a little challenging for for the for the for the 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:01.240 defense for that offense. But um, they're they're very, very 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.720 high as an offensive. The last day there's there's some 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.679 trash talking going on, and um, and we're just excited 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.479 to put pads on in a month and go at 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.040 it well, just for the love of football.
