Thank you 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.920 as always to our producer Jordan tread Up, our Score 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.200 producer Tonight Adams Dedzinski. Coming up, we visit at the 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.680 bottom of the hour where NFL Networks, Adam Rank and boys, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.679 good to talk to you. We are back. It's coming back, 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:20.440 Big Tommy, coming up. Rookies reporting this weekend, getting acclimated, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.920 and then the Vets report on Tuesday. That's when we 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:24.880 get a state of the Union from GM Ryan Pulls 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.679 and head coach Mattie Reflus. Tommy. Yeah, but you know, Jeff, 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.800 the offseason nowadays, it presents so many topics of interest, 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.960 whether you're going through a coaching change, the draft, free agency, 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.479 what's going on in a weekly basis in the landscape 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.240 of the NFL. But then you know, you kind of 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.720 you don't ease in the NFL season. You get punched 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.880 in the face by the beginning of beginning of training camp. 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.280 And when that gets under way, you know there isn't 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.200 you know, kind of a ramp up period. It's the 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.160 point where you go to training camp and everything that 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.600 you did throughout your ota is in the mandatory mini camp. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.840 Is so much more serious now than it was two 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.919 months ago, a month ago, because this is the determining 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.280 factor on the coaches and players alike. Hey, big Jim, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.440 the one thing Tom is right about the intensity and 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.239 all that, but it is different from what you guys 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.399 want to do because the punch in the face isn't 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.280 the same because you don't get into pads until a 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.160 few days later. I think it's a four day period. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.280 So I think Saturday, July thirtieth starts the pads on 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.240 the on the all training camps. It's collectively bargained. Yeah, well, 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.440 like you said, that's the quote unquote acclamation period. Right, 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.239 Remember Tom, we used to show up, we had our physicals, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.720 we did our you know, agility test or you know, 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.080 you had to make sure you were in shape, so 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.240 you had to pass your test. The next day we 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.040 were in pads, right, Tom, two days Right, it never stopped, 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.399 and it used to go six weeks. It's just it's 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.360 not that way anymore. They have this acclamation period and 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.519 all these guys are doing is working out all years. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.079 So I advise them to come in and shape. This 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.560 group of coaches and this GM, I think has made 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.200 it very clear you better be ready to compete and 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.040 if you're if you're not in shape, you're not even 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.679 giving yourself a chance a chance to make the team. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.160 So I'd be serious as a heart attack about it 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.200 for any Bears players showing up to camp and I 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.799 was up there today for a preview of how it's 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.520 all going to go down from a media perspective, but 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.639 fans now fully back interacting with players. Work being done 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.400 to set it all up. Practices will generally start around 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.240 at ten am. There are different times, but eleven public practices. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.080 They require a free ticket. You get those at Chicago 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.440 Bears dot Com, slash Camp and the Illinois Office of 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.840 Tourism the title sponsor once again for Bears training camp, 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.040 parking at Hawthorne, Mau and Vernon Hills shuttle buses to 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.960 get you to Hollisaw. And that's another part of this. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.480 When you guys are on the practice field, whether you 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.760 were dreading the second of the two days or the 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.640 first one in the morning, not sure which one, but 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.960 the fans that turned out for your camps, it really 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.880 created a whole different environment than what everyone has used to, 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:13.200 right guys. And Jimmy, well, yeah, for me, it definitely, 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.240 well it was it was it was twofold, you know, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.040 when you know, obviously we're up in Platteville. My first 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.880 couple of training camps and that was great. You know, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.200 I always enjoyed going away to camp. Because you really 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.880 can just focus in the door room and just you know, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.560 focus on what you need to do. You're jelly as 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.880 a team. And then of course we moved to bourbon 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.640 A and that was really just an explosion of fans. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.599 I remember that first Saturday open practice in bourbon A. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.960 It just seemed like the fans were in droves and 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.640 they were about ten deep all around the practice field 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.720 and wherever we moved to. And it is I think 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.000 it's special, and it's you know, and most teams aren't 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.560 going away anymore. I think we understand that. But I'm 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.440 glad the Bears are able to bring the fans into 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:00.720 Hallisaul where they can experience that atmosphere. But maybe I'm 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.440 old school. I did somewhat like going away because to me, 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.279 it was not that you're away from your family and 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.040 you like that, but it really to me got me 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.240 in the mood of what I was there to do. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.839 You know, I really could get focused in and get 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.640 the routine of what I needed to do, and it's 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.520 just nice just to focus on football. That's a quarterbacks perspective, Tim, 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.320 what's yours? Um? You know, I hated going to Platteville 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.520 because when we were in Platteville for training camp. There 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.640 was a road that separated the practice fields and you 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.000 would have these people that would drive their car through 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.480 the middle of practice and they would yell out bear 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.600 saw Go Packer that you had to listen to that everything. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.159 But I did like the fans support. I love the 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.240 opportunity to get the fans that would take their time. 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.800 Maybe they can many vacation out of it and come there, 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.600 but you know, on the plattefield days, they were guaranteed 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.599 there might be two padded practices every day. When if 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.560 we went down to a bourbon A when things went 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.000 down to Urbane as a broadcaster, then they had you know, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.159 separated practices, but it was still the Bears. Fans were 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.720 surrounding those practice fields and thousands of a day would 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.800 come and there'd be plenty of parking and plenty of 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:19.240 standing in seating areas, and I just I love the support, 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.200 you know, being an ex player and walking out there 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.120 and just hear the sound of the crowd and seeing 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.720 those guys that would show up there to be first 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.520 in line every single day throughout training camp. It was 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.400 an awesome sight to see. But you know, Jim and 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:39.159 I never really had facilities like the modern day Hollis 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.640 Hall Is And when you have four practice fields, you 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.920 have an indoor facility, you have your cafeteria or your 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.640 weight room, your media accessible or the video department where 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.479 it was, it was better for that crew. I don't know. 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.160 It seems like an easier way to go about your business. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.360 But I always feel bad because I love the fans 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.599 support in the reward of it gave the guys on 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.000 the practice field, but it also gave the fans that 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.480 showed up. All Right, guys, gonna take a break. We'll 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.960 be coming back to you shortly. We have coming up 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.240 at the bottom of the hour, Adam Rank from NFL Network, 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.120 big Bears fan, and he's got a lot of opinions 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.160 about what the Bears are going to be here in 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.960 twenty twenty two. We'll break down some roster battles, talk 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.280 about what we fully expect at training camp.

Former Bears quarterback Jam Miller from Series six 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.480 NFL Radio is moving the chains along with my broadcast 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.960 partner from WBBM News Radio one oh five nine. Tom. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:53.640 They're getting ready for training camp, significant roster turnover. Tom, 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.560 We're getting to know. We're going to get to know 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:00.320 a lot of new faces, guys that you know are 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.080 undrafted guys that could be coming in throughout the course 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.280 of training camp waiting to see what the development is 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.480 of the offense and how the new defense is gonna look. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.840 There's so much to break down. It is really gonna 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.720 be a challenge to take it all in. Where are 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.120 your eyes going to go on the first few practices 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.080 and throughout the first week of training camp. You know 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:25.000 there's a specific position battles obviously that we're gonna have 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.760 to look at because you know, yeah, you're gonna have 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.680 to look and see how the scheme ultimately comes into shape. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.560 But to me, I'm looking at individuals. I want to see. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.400 I need an answer to the offensive tackle position almost 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.600 first and foremost. I need to know what group of 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.439 these offensive tackles. And I don't care where your drafted. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.880 I don't care what school you played, what your background is, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.240 can you play at the NFL level within this system? 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.920 And for the first week, I'm gonna pay attention to 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.760 the offensive tackle position primarily to see, Okay, who do 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.079 I believe can play and who do I know I 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.320 don't think can play? And so some of those types 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.760 of things are gonna rear its ugly head. If do 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.680 you see guys out there that just don't have the bendability, 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:15.680 the athleticism, the snap count, anticipation, the mental part of 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.360 it that you need to be that you have to 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.080 be as sharp as anybody out there. When I look 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:26.240 also kind of at the athleticism portion of it the cornerbacks, 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.440 because not necessarily how the cornerback fits into the scheme 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.920 of the down and distance, I want to see if 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.040 they have the hit movement, do they have the feet 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.280 to play that position? Because all those elements, if you 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.319 do have the athleticism, that makes you coachable. And so 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:46.480 you gotta see where is that next group of defensive back. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:51.760 Cornerbacks specifically gonna step up and show their athleticism within 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.840 the first couple non padded practices that lead into into 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.520 the padded practices, and then I got to see the 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.000 tight end position, Jeff, because their inclusion of the offense 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.480 is serious. They gotta be online blockers, they gotta be 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.320 h backs, they have to be moving tight ends. They 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.280 got to be tight ends that are lined up off 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.880 the line of scrimmage. And then I think all of 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.960 us know that if they don't provide some type of 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.719 spark in the red zone, which is a drill they 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.040 do with the regularity at practices, that's gonna hurt the 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.720 tight end position. So you're gonna have to have performance 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.200 from some tackles from some cornerbacks that maybe that we're 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.640 not aware of yet. And then the tight end position 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.160 as a whole, from first down to the red zone. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.680 So Jimmy's looking at tackles, corners and tight ends. Where 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.600 are your eye is gonna be going? I know they're 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.520 going to number one. Well, well here I'm gonna start 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.280 with this one, Jeff. All the reporters that wrote about 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.200 the first OTA practice, make sure you're out there to 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.040 write about this first training camp practice and see how 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.720 far this group has gone to where they are now, 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.600 and then see where they are at the end of 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.960 training camp. For these groups, one just how they practice 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.840 the tempo of it, how the intensity of it, because 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.360 it's gonna be ratcheted up big time. In my opinion, 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.920 this isn't gonna be a very competitive training camp. And 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.480 I'm with Tom. I think when you're watching like offensive 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.680 line groups, if a guy's screwing up a man, next 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.480 guy in, I think it's gonna be that grueling of 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.760 a training camp. Hey, that you missed that opportunity. Next 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.800 man up, Let's go, because that's how they're gonna be 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.080 testing guys to see if they're ready. All right, you 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.880 don't want to be missing those reps. It's gonna be 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.440 highly competitive, and the pressure will be cranked up big 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.120 time on these players. And yes, of course, Jeff, I'll 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.400 be watching justin fields, just how smooth he is, just 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.360 how he's grown as a quarterback. I want to see 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.240 where his footwork is, how it marries up with the 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.240 plast plays, whether it's play action or drop back that 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.120 he's doing. I want to see his command. I want 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.720 to see his leadership. I want to see him raising 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.040 the level of player, raising the level of players play 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.440 on the offensive side of the ball, and doing all 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.280 the things that you need to do for him to 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.080 grow as a quarterback, but his command and how the 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.040 team responds to him is what I'm gonna be following 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.360 big time when I'm at camp. I'll be looking at 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:26.240 just the overall attitude, effort and consistency of that effort 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.440 throughout the course of training camp. Because it's a clean slate. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.600 We've heard everybody's got a clean slate, doesn't matter as 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.120 Tommy indicated, receive or where where you came from, what 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:41.360 round traded acquired, picked up off of waivers, it. They're 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.080 gonna evaluate the guys that are going to give the 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.440 best effort and can play in the final fifty three. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.680 So I'm gonna I'm gonna be watching that. But how 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.839 quickly the defense develops a consistency and a chemistry because 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.200 they're a bunch of young guys blending with some some veterans, 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.200 and what they're gonna be able to do up front 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.120 and how they can develop some sort of confidence and 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.600 swagger collectively right down the middle obviously is going to 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.480 be big. There's some big, big names were being replaced 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.600 on this defense. And just how they all settle in 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.480 with this unit and what their their eyes and what 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.560 their feet are going to tell them and then, and 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.839 of course the wide receivers, there will be a lot 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.480 of discussion. I believe what they're nineteen receivers on the 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.200 roster right now or something like that. It's going to 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.080 be interesting to see how that all shakes out, where 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.760 they stack up one, two, three, four, five, and who 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:37.000 emerges and what Nikkil Harry brings the table. But Guy's 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.320 getting a great opportunity for a second chance. He's a 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.840 beast of an athlete. He's a big dude. He's got 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:49.560 a great, great athleticism, and not only does he have 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.080 untapped potential in the passing game and to make big plays, 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.240 he's an outstanding run blocker. So this team is likely 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.959 going to be a team that sets up the offense 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.840 with that running game. So those are some of the 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.760 things I'm looking forward to over the course of the 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.320 beginning of camp and taking it right straight through. And 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.480 but isn't it isn't it crazy that we're talking about 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.280 wide receivers and how good of a run blocker they are. Yeah, 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.240 because you know Springle, but in the offenses that Jim 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:19.960 and I grew up, for the most part, it was 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:24.320 a point of attack, an isolation inside running game, inside 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.120 the shoulders of the tackles. So if a wide receiver 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.280 was required to make a block, you hope he made 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.760 a block down field. Here. These guys are required to 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.320 make a block because they're at or near the point 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.120 of attack. So what they do and how they shut 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.800 down their defender is going to be instrumental to the 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:45.040 success of the outside zone running play. And Jim's talked 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.320 about it a great deal. So here David Montgomery here 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.240 working here, working more more more pictures of him working, 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.600 working at the backs at Northwestern, just working every last chance, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.960 and we come to expect that from him. But for Jim, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.280 you know what happens up from for him to hit 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.080 those holes with this offensive line developing and Herbert and 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.960 the rest of the guys. He's had the seventh month 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.560 rushing yard since twenty twenty in the NFL, and I 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.640 you know he's in a contract here. Yeah, well, I 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.960 mean there are there are landmarks you have to hit, 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.600 you know, I always say it if they you know, again, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.800 this is the Packers outside zone scheme that's coming or 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.360 not that they're not going to run inside zone, but 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.840 they want to get you going laterally on defense. But 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.560 there's landmarks that these running backs are looking for all right, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.920 So if I call stretch eight, which is the outside zone, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.680 run play to the right, or Stretch nine, which is 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.720 to left, really their aiming point is two yards. So 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.760 if I call, say, you know, I write stretch eight, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.160 David Montgomery's aiming points gonna be two yards outside that 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.040 tight end. So his starting point, and as a quarterback, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.800 you're busted out from underneath the center to get the 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.400 ball to him because he wants to target two yards 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.760 outside the tight end. Now he's reading the tight end. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.280 If that tight end and that defensive end start getting 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.480 the battle where it goes wide, now he'll look at 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.480 that landmark, put his foot in the ground and cut 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.280 up field. If the tight end is able to hook him, 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.920 he'll stay on that two yard path right outside that 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.680 tight end and continue on that path. And then he's 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.840 onto the second level where maybe there's a linebacker scraping 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.840 or the corners out there now convergent, and he'll deal 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.800 with that. But you know, he has these aiming points 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.120 and things that he's reading from that tight end that's 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.040 really going to tell him what to do. And it 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.160 could be that block that Tom's talking about by the 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.960 receiver on the outside. Does he got to bounce it 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.240 even outside that corner. If that corner has inside technique, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.040 maybe that the flanker is now forcing and collapsing that 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.520 corner inside where he's going to bounce it out even 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.080 more to take it up the sideline. Or if the 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.760 flanker has a kickout block and is able to maybe 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.800 muscle the corner into the sideline the same thing. He'll 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.080 put his foot in the ground, he'll cut inside, and 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.240 now he's working up the field that way. So there's 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.160 numerous things going on, but he's eating all these things 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.080 and has his landmarks that he has to follow. You know. 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.720 I think it's a great explanation of the outside zone 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.480 running play and how effective it is, because if the 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.520 Bears are great at it, not good, not decent, not 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.639 averaging course at the end fact, if they're great at it, 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.520 it's going to open up so many more opportunities for 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.120 this offense, for the athleticism of justin field, for the 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:27.760 backside of the offense, if their defense is so determined 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.120 to laterally chase this outside zone running plays, and then 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.040 you get a couple of guys on the backside of 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.119 an opponent's defense that they don't have the discipline to 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.280 stay home. Just in case that happens, look for some 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:44.840 backside plays to open up significant long distance pass routes 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:49.679 for the receiver, possibly a running lane for justin you know, 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.560 naked bootlegs to the outside. So it's a it's a 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.680 play that if they do it perfectly, it's going to 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.840 open up a lot more opportunities for this offense. Time 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.480 take another break, Tom There, Jim Meller, Jeff Jonny act 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:12.639 here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score the 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.560 sevement of Bears and All Actions.

Visit Athletical dot com to request 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.280 an employment in clinic or virtually and start feeling better tomorrow. 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.760 Jeff Jonny ACLT with Tom There and Jim Meller, former 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.480 Chicago Bears, getting you ready for training camp next week. Jim, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.000 what are you expecting from Luke Getsy as a first 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.400 time offensive coordinator? Column place in twenty twenty two. Yeah, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.160 I think it's you know, I think he's gonna structure 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.199 it similarly, but yet it's different than Green Bay. I 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.399 think the movement plays, I think you're gonna see even 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.240 quarterback draws. I think you're gonna see an r Peel 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:53.480 influence things that Justin Fields did very well in college. 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.720 But definitely use the assets. Aaron Rodgers is an athletic player, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:01.000 There's no doubt about that. But it's not like they're 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.520 going into game plans with quarterback draws, you know, lined up, 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.960 and I think you can you can create packages, much 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:12.120 like say Buffalo does with Josh Allen. They actually do 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:17.240 have check with Me's where he'll audible to a quarterback draw. 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.720 It depends on the box numbers and things like that 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.320 where you can get to the play. So I think 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.520 it's gonna get to that point with Justin Fields. I 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.280 don't know how in depth it is now, but I 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.760 think as it grows along and the offense starts to grow, 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.159 I think you're going to see more package plays, but 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.600 it's going to be an emphasis on the athleticism of fields. 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.800 That outside zone stretch play that we just taught. That's 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.840 gonna set up a lot of things that Tom just 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.760 talked about, from the bootleg naked to the waggles, and 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.520 then you're gonna branch off of that. You're gonna have 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:51.560 the dash plays that he's gonna be able to do 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.639 to take advantage of his feet as well, and just 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:59.280 really utilizes that athleticism because that's a strength of justin fields, 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.639 you don't want to hide that. It's an asset that 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.439 needs to be utilized. You don't want to be hit 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.000 to be to his detriment that he's getting hit. He's 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.000 got to be smart to get down and get out 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.399 of bounds. But I think we see other offenses that 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.800 have done that, you know, And that's why I bring 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.720 up Buffalo so it will have the flare of Green Bay, 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.280 the staple of things that they do. They want to 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.440 bring that run game down here. But offensively, it's gonna 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.200 to me have a tone of like what Josh Allen 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.520 and the Buffalo Bills do offensively to take advantage of 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.720 his athleticism. Go looking up that guy's numbers running the 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.920 ball and his touchdown scored for Josh Allen, and I expect, 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.960 you know, a mixture of that for the Chicago Bears 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:42.520 and gets. He will be fine. He's just got to 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.680 find that sweet spot of where he wants it to 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.320 get to Tom and the RPO. If it's a throw, 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.080 who do you anticipate being the biggest benefactor this year 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.720 in terms of catches off RPO because of the way 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:59.000 that works. To me, I hope it's Cole commanding Dave Montgomery. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.360 I'm looking for field opportunities, no doubt about it. That's 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:06.400 gonna be your first desired target. However, if you get 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.399 a you have the respect that David and Montgomery has 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.520 been able to build over the first couple of years 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.639 of his career. You know, no, there's not always a 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:17.440 guy that can cover him. And now if Luke Etsy 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.880 starts to get an appreciation for how good David Montgomery's 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:26.159 hands are, then you're gonna see these overinfluenced excuse me, 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:31.119 You're gonna see these overinfluenced defenses maybe get Daved Montgomery 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.680 out in the open. But then if you get these 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.439
