Good evening, How are you 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.080 doing good? How are you doing good? What the tape reveal? Well, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.879 there's a lot there. You know, that's not how we 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.960 want to play really, all three phases. You know, we 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.200 want to be able to come out here and take 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.880 advantage of playing at home and start better in the 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.760 first half as far as the first quarters concerned, coming 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.840 out the second half, started the third quarter, Um, you know, 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.759 going down there for them in six plays and scoring 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.560 a touchdown going nineteen to ten UM and then for 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.120 having a fumble for on offense the very next play. 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.000 That that's tough. It's tough to recover from. Um. But 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.480 you know we Uh, that's where we're at right now. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.840 We know that we got to get better. Have you 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.319 ever been a part of a team that has struggled 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.920 in yards per play through chunks of games like you 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.600 have this year? Yeah? Probably probably not, you know, And 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.480 that's that's the frustrating part, which is completely understandable. It's 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.000 frustrating for everybody. The challenging part in all this, Jeff 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.200 is is um, you know, number one, it's it's at 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.280 a point where you really just help you can get 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.520 get nothing but better. Uh, And it should that's what 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.480 should happen. Uh. I have ultimate trust in our in 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:56.360 our guys, and I just feel like once that game happens, right, 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.520 it's everything's about confidence. And once you get that game 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.520 on offense where you get that that where it finally breaks, 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.880 it just takes a little bit of confidence for them 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.280 to get going. And that's what we're missing right now. 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.240 We just haven't had it. You feel the confidence is Yeah, 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.400 it's well, no, the confidence yeah, in certain maybe certain 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.680 areas of the game. Yeah, there's some times and to 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.880 start the game to go three and out right, you 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.800 need we need to be better than that to go 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.920 three and out and that's just not You want to 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.720 get some first downs and you want to get the 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.280 rhythm going, and we didn't do that. Where is the 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.880 confidence in yourself at the same time, Yeah, my mind's fine. Again. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.760 The one thing with me that people will find out 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.400 is when it comes to confidence, I really don't lack 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.840 a whole lot of confidence in a good way, meaning 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.800 that it's not an arrogance, but it's confidence. And I've 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.440 and the confidence isn't so much about myself as it 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.320 is so much about our players. And as long as 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.000 they feel that and they know that, is there going 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.440 to be times where we need to get on them 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.679 a little bit because of the way a play was 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.160 done execution wise. Yeah, but um, we all need to 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.840 be held accountable. But for me, confidence wise, I feel 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.480 like that's one of my strengths, is knowing how to 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.800 be able to help myself and others out. One of 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.440 the things that struck me about your and I didn't 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.519 listen to your postgame press comments. We only talked to 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.079 you briefly after the game and then listening to your 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.360 news comments earlier today. This idea that you want to 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.920 find out who the leaders are that I'm gonna stand up. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.440 And from my perspective, I always thought I knew who 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.120 the leaders were already. Is that not the case? Well, 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.280 every it's how do you lead? It's in different ways 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.720 when when times of adversity like this, when when they 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.320 when they hit and you just feel like, um, you know, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.600 whether it's offense, defense or special teams, it doesn't matter 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.160 however the offense is performing. If you're looking for an 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.680 offensive leader, who that is it may surprise you sometimes 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.920 you never know. But when you challenge somebody and you 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.840 and the team gets in interrupt like this on offense, um, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.800 who's going to be the guy this show? I don't 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.119 know that we'll see you know, and and um, same 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.800 with defense, it's it could be a different person in 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.480 these times because somebody's been through it before. So that 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.120 that's what what to me. This coming week is going 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.840 to be interesting to see how our leaders step up. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:03.080 You talked about Mitch his performance and focusing on footwork 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.320 and you delve a little bit more into his game 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.880 yesterday with that as the as the hook. Sure, just 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.120 a few throws were he was kind of off balanced 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.120 and footwork was opening up his front left hip and 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.240 stepping back a little bit, which can cause a throw 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.599 to be inaccurate. Uh, you know, And so what you 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.600 want to say, there's gonna be times where that's gonna happen. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.479 You have to you can't step up into the pocket 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.760 because if you do your break your finger on somebody's helmet. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.240 There's other times where you might want to see him 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:31.000 slide left instead of scramble right. Uh. So all of 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:35.240 that stuff comes, and those are gonna happen in games. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:36.960 You just want to limit those. And I felt like 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.960 yesterday there was probably more of those than there probably 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.120 should have been. So we got to correct them. We 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.200 gotta get with them and find out the why part 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.240 and and uh and make sure that we get that 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.640 thing fixed or just taking it from practice to Sunday, 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.400 which obviously we talk about all the time, and he 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.400 was very open about it. And our postcame interview with 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.840 Mark Rodi that you know that that rep that he 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.560 had with Taylor Gabriel, he repped it all week and 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.880 completed it all week. And that's where the frustration comes 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.760 in from Mitch. Right, it didn't happen on that particularly, 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.160 and he's I'll tell you what, Jeff, that that throw 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.880 that that he missed on that third and five the 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.760 second series of the game, was a throw that I'm 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.160 telling you what in practice all week long. I mean, 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.600 he was just on fire with it, you know. So 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.480 that's where you want to be able to see him 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.640 be able to take that from practice to the field. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.120 And I thought his foote I'm gonna, you know, going 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.479 back and checking out the foote work in practice versus 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.440 if you match it up, it'd be curious to see 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.280 how that looked. So when something like that's zinging on 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.400 practice days, may not always put it in, But do 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.360 you put it in the game play because I feel 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.400 good about that play. That's gonna be that's gonna be 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.560 a bread and butter this day. Sure, Yeah, yeah. And 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.600 when you know that that play in general schematically we 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.760 felt was good versus a lot of different coverages. And 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.920 so that's what we did. And what happens is this 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.720 is when when things happen a little bit more repetitively 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.440 throughout the game, and then you lose the way we lost, 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.159 This stuff gets magnified. Right, So if we go ahead 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.440 and we win by twenty and he missed that throw 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.280 early in the in the game, it never it never 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.400 gets looked at, you know. So what we have to 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.640 do is balance at that and understand that that that's 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.520 that's real. Yeah, and I think it's I'm only bringing 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.600 it up because he brought it up yea, you know, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.800 as an example of maybe his own personal frustration with it. Um. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.279 But at the same time, not to belabor this point, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.120 if that play is made for a guy like Mitch 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.840 in an offense like this, that's just as whole, you know, 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.880 as you use the word hole. Could a play just 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.560 simple as that spark the fire, Yes, for sure, And 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.400 and Mitch knows that. And so those are what that's 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.160 what we that's what we want from him. Um, that's 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.120 what we're going to continue to challenge him with, is 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.600 to make that throw. And and so what it does 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.760 is get your first down. You know, it's third and five, 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.440 you get a first down. Now, you get a little 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.280 consistency going, there's a little rhythm that gets going, and 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.520 there's gonna be times where he has to add lib 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.360 a little bit and use his feet and scramble and 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.320 make a play. There's gonna be times where our run 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.719 game needs to pick it up and help help out 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.800 everybody else so that we can have more second and twos. 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.680 You know, but that just wasn't that wasn't the case. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.880 Shright now here we are. Yeah, I don't even know 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.760 where to going. I honestly got I don't know where 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.000 to go. Yeah, I'll let you take the baton on 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.640 that one. Well, seven attempts number one to start seven, 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.200 you can't. It's hard to win with seven attempts. But 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.400 I you know, just like you're getting to where you 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.080 say you can't even get to it. You know, for us, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.960 it's just a matter of yards per attempt and being 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.960 able to get a couple, you know, a couple runs 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.920 that that have some yardage to them, and we haven't 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.320 done that. So I know it sounds repetitive over the 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.520 last several weeks, and it's almost like you just need 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.120 to we all need to just stop talking about it 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.280 until it happens. The Bears Coaches Show with head coach 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.440 Matt Maggie and w bbm's Jeff joni Ac continues kickoff 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.680 for Darrell Patterson settling in the end zone. How about 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.920 a R d angles left gets to the ten, opening 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.880 up the twenty, gets the gains of the twenty five 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.920 prit to tackle. He's in the clear, putting right to 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.160 the forty. Big change, her eyes stepped out of the tackle. 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:22.560 Twenty ten five touchdown touchdown Bears one hundred and one 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.760 years Sunday's game against the La Chargers brought to you 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.280 by jewel Osco, the official grocery store of the Chicago Bears. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.120 You heard the highlight. Uh, it's always exciting when you 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.760 hit a home run, and that's what kick returns are 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.640 home runs. Uh. And Cordell Patterson everything, And the funny 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:39.800 it was, I don't know if you know this, but 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.319 it was three hundred and sixty four days after he 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.520 did the same thing against the Bears last year with 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.439 the Patriots. How weird is that? Yeah? Soldier field, Yeah, 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.880 so same direction everything else? It was it different. I 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.920 thought it a different direction, okay, um, but in any case, 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.560 it was like running a mid zone for him. I mean, 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.280 he hit that thing and once he stuck that left 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.800 foot in the ground and hit it, he ran it 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.240 back for a for a touchdown, you know, and he 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.360 as he was coming off the sideline, that's what he said. Hey, 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.520 that's why y'all brought me here. But we needed that 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.040 spark um at that point in the game, and it 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.840 got us right back in it. And you could feel 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.160 the energy the crowd got going. It was really posts 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.560 you know, that's that's exactly what they wanted right then 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.880 and there. I mean, that was that was time. But 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.960 you know, everything about his abilities and skill sets because 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.959 of his size really captured in that moment. It was, Yeah, 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.959 well he's a he's a big guy that can run 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.400 fast and when you have and then he's ultra talented 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.000 in regards to ball skills, and he's a he's a 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.599 great teammate. So all that encompasses to you throw that 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.480 all that together and you come up with a pretty 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.199 good player. You know, he's an interesting guy. I want 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.199 to get to know him more, but he he's not 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.720 one that likes talking too much about anything really about 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.160 getting the game or anything like that. Um, are some 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.679 of those guys just that's the way they are, right. Yeah, 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.280 there's a there's several guys that are introverted and he's 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.480 really not like no, I just I'm saying, yeah, it 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.280 just for him. He's They're all a little bit different 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.959 depending on what environment they're in, But he's a he's 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.400 a happy, go lucky person. That's a great teammate, you know, 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.840 really good in a classroom. Um, just very very selfless, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.240 which I think can sometimes go under appreciate it in 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.839 today's aspects. Just just he doesn't as far as touching 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.320 the football, you know, in the game. I mean, whatever 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.560 happens happens. He talks about having patience and what better 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.559 time than now for all of us to understand that 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.959 there's some patience evolved with the with the frustrations that 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.080 go around in our inner circle. Uh, and just meaning 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.719 like hey, we stick together and you have leaders like that. 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.679 He's been in the league now seven or eight years, right, 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.240 I think somewhere around there, and uh, you know he's 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.960 been on he just won the Super Bowl last year, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.520 so he knows what it takes and he knows what 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.800 teams go through, so he can become one of those leaders. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.000 How did you look at the defense on tape? Well, 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.480 I thought that uh for the first half, you know, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.480 there there was a couple plays here or there where 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.480 they had some nice, nice gains on us a few passes, 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.280 but generally, you know, what I thought after the game 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.160 last night was that they would have been a little 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.520 bit more protected with some better play on offense. The 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.640 first half. The you know, the drive that I think 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.480 our defense will went back as the start of the 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.280 third quarter, six plays going on down there with some chu. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.240 I think there's a forty seven yard play, a seventeen 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.360 yard game, a seven yard game, a three yard game, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.160 and in a touchdown, and just like that, it was 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.440 nineteen to ten and then we fumbled the next play. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.079 And so you know, if our defense looks back there, 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.120 you know, overall as as a unit, you'd like to 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.760 see better there. But for the most you know, first half, 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.040 I liked what they did. Yeah, at the same time, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.360 and I'm not trying to ease their burden, but with 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.040 six series that had sixteen plays for twenty yards and 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.280 they're on the field repetitively after thirty seconds or a minute, 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.719 I mean, how how do you affector that into the equation? No, 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.400 that's in the evaluation again, not to take it off, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.959 I mean that happens sometimes. Yeah, No, that's a part 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.079 of it. That's that's real. And then you know, for 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.760 our guys to be able to offensively go out there 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.080 and get a lead and go up seven to nothing 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.319 or ten to nothing or fourteen to nothing instead of 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.400 going down. It's a different style of game. So starting fast, 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.720 when we take a lead in a game, we normally 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.960 do pretty well, and we did not do that yesterday. 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.760 So it's a little bit more of a challenge for 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.320 a defense because teams can be more balanced and when 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.760 you get a lead it's fourteen to nothing. Now team's 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.160 got to become a little bit more one dimensional. You 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.280 have repetitively said it's still a couple of weeks away 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.320 maybe for identities to form. Defensively, they knew what their 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.920 identity was when the season began. It's how they felt 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.839 about there themselves last year as well, and Prince and 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.480 Mukamara said after the game, he's worried that they're losing 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.040 their identity. When you hear that out of the locker room, 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.000 is that something you address, you fix, you talk to 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.600 Chuck Bagana or is that just again postgame natural frustration 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.880 with the moment. Yeah, it's more of the moment for 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.040 those guys. Those guys will say some things. You know, 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.280 it's hard to they all love the game so much 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.640 they care about what we're doing and where we're going 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.800 that frustrations can boil over, and that's we We try 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.640 to do our best as leaders to make them understand 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.120 that that's okay to feel that way. But none of 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.920 that's ever personal. That these guys just care and um, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.719 you know we you know, we we lost a big 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.880 piece and Akiem Hicks now in the middle there, so uh, 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.439 that's that's very understandable. But at the same time, we 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.120 lost him for the Vikings game, so we're able to 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.199 have other guys step up, and um, it'll it'll be 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.360 a challenge, but that's that's why. That's why we're all 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.439 in this league right now, is because we've all worked 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.319 hard to get to this point and now there's a 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.160 big challenge ahead of us, and let's rally together. Let's 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.360 not be that team that pulls apart. Let's stick together, 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.960 and let's let's look back on this and say, hey, man, 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.400 you remember that chapter in twenty nineteen season where we 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.280 went through that rut and everyone just tried to pull 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.439 us apart and never happened. That that's what this is 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.839 all about. No more of the Bears Coaches Show with 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.120 head coach Matt Maggie on news Waydio seven eighty and 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:56.200 one out five point nine FM w BBM. Go rid 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:57.839 to the right of bench, Triviisky wins out to the 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.760 left side, number slap left. Robinson tight end to the 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.000 right side of the line as well. Snapped back. Here's 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.360 t risky looking scanning tight pocket back off again jone 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.240 touchdown Alan Or Robinson. Welcome back to the Bear's Chroachy Show, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.440 brought to you by a Whippley Financial Advisors, a proud 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.320 partner of the Chicago Bears. That was Allan Robinson's touchdown catch. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.679 The reason I bring it up, and I know you 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.400 mentioned earlier today that garbage time at the end of 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.120 a game. You don't care about the numbers and all that, 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.200 but I do love the route, the route that he 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.600 ran and his release on that rookie from Florida, Gardner Johnson. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.320 I think they had something going between them two throughout 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.600 the course of the game. How about that route, Yeah, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.320 it was it was a It was a He's been 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.280 running those type of routes all year long and he 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.840 gets open and a lot of times when he's covered, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.040 he's uncovered. So our guys know that. And he's a 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.080 hell of a player. He plays hard, he's a leader. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.440 Everything matters to him on every single snap. And you 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.520 saw that right there and a touchdown. Would you call 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.960 his day yesterday a rugged performance given the circumstances, Yeah, 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.560 it was. And you know he had a couple other 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.040 opportunit news as well. He had that catch down the 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.240 sideline that was just called out of bounds. But that's 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.560 that's who That's who Alan Robinson is. He's a fighter. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.920 He's gonna do everything he needs to do to help 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.920 this team. And so we're lucky to have him. We 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.000 want to keep this singing picking up out of the break. 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.680 I was gonna lead you into below Nichols. So when 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.720 you get a young man that you know, it's easy 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.560 to make excuses for your injuries and whatnot. But he 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.000 doesn't seem like that type of guy. He was really 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.280 excited about playing yesterday. I thought, you know, from watching 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.400 it again, there was some good things. Yeah, he played well, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.560 and um, you know, you come in there with a 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.480 cast on, you've been out a few weeks. But he's 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.720 learning a lot from a team Hicks, and he's been 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.960 a great mentor to him. And Bellows another kid that 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.480 just really really cares about this game and he wants 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.640 to be great at it. So every every time he's 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.440 on the field, every snap that he takes, he's gonna 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.560 give it as all and then let's suck special teams. 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.960 There was a lot of good and some things that 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.000 need to be fixed a little bit because much like 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.720 UH teams look at offenses that are struggling their defenses, 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.520 they'll they'll try the same thing the next week. So yeah, 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.400 it's a that's a huge part of the game. That 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.640 third that third phase there and special teams and uh 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.240 you know, the first block punt they got us on 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.280 a little uh game, you know where they did a 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.120 little pick stunt and uh so that was the first one, 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.680 and then the second one that was tipped was really 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.080 just a one on one that someone got beat. Uh 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.160 And then we turned around and are but coverage wise, okay, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.320 you know there were a couple they had the one 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.600 touchdown call back there at the end, but then we 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.560 had to touchdown, you know, which I thought was great. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.440 I was a huge part of the game. And um 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.760 so we're going to continue to see more and more 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.840 kickoff returns with eighty four back there with cordarrel and 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:41.680 we want to be able to flip the field and 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.080 get closer to midfield if it's not a touchdown. Which 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:45.840 leads me in this because I did bring it up 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.080 and the broadcast, Uh, after he hit the home run, 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.160 there were several times later in the game he could 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.800 have returned it. Um, did you guys just want the 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.040 field position guaranteed to try and get something gone or 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.560 is that a I think it's more. Yeah, it's more 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.760 of a field thing of where we're at, and Coach 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.920 Taves and those guys do a good job. They have 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.639 their reasons behind that, and that's what we stick to. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:09.560 Once you do it, you'll want to see every time. Right. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:14.520 Rashid Coward making first NFL start, I really amplified it 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.680 at the beginning of the day because you're talking about 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.439 a kid from Brooklyn who was, you know, not always 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.840 easy growing up over there. Playing football in Brooklyn is 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.159 not an easy task either, And then coming into the 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.359 league's defensive player moved to right tackle where he got 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.160 most of his prep, then certed in that right guard 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.280 position against the Vikings. If people don't know the whole 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.359 journey in his story and then gets his first NFL start, 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.360 that's some kind of journey in a short period of time, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.240 trying to learn a new position. Howdy fair and what 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:45.840 did you think of that part of it? Yeah, it's 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.000 a great story for him, and he did a great job, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.280 you know, all things considered. There's a couple of times 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.000 where you know, technique wise, he could have been a 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.320 little bit better, but that's you have to understand that. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.679 That's a part of this deal with him. He's come 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.760 a long way coming from the defensive line now to 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.080 offense and here you are starting in the NFL. So 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.400 it's a credit to him. It's a credit to coach Harry. 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.320 He's standing for getting him ready for these type of situations, 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.880 and you know, I look forward to him just improving 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.960 each and every week. All right, let's talk Los Angeles Chargers. 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.600 Really tough loss for them yesterday against Tennessee on a 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.399 fumble near the goal line. They're scuffling a little bit 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:21.840 two at two and five. What do you know about 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.000 the Chargers at this point? Well, I do know this 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.080 from going against him for five years in the AFC. West. 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.840 It all starts with that quarterback and Philip Rivers any 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.919 game you play, you're gonna have a chance to win 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.120 with him a quarterback. I've been a part of games 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.000 where he's come back and beat us when we had 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.480
