Good to 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.320 have you long on another snowy cold night with many 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.080 snowy cool days to come, so we'll try to warm 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.519 you up with some football conversation thanks to our producers 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.559 Jordan tread Up, Dan Barelli, and Brandon Fryer, along with 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.320 help from Herb Lawrence. A lot going on in the 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.400 NFL after the wrap up of the Super Bowl. It's 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.320 all focused now on who's going where and why and 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.280 filling out coaching staffs. The carousel of quarterbacks will certainly dominate. 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.760 We've touched on that for many weeks, will continue to 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.520 do so as the rumor milk turns out a bunch 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.920 of maybe half baked truths, and maybe there's some good, 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.480 good information in there, but it is the lying season, 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.880 so you gotta be on your guard about it all. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.399 But we'll break it all down with Jim Miller from 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.039 Serious Sex MNFL radio coming up at the round six 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.240 h eight, and then Olan Crutz at the bottom of 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.920 the hour, the Bears officially making senior defensive assistant Mike 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.600 Petton and official hire coming over from the Green Bay 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.320 Packers as defensive coordinator, and we welcome in Tom Thare 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.160 from the warm island of Maui. Buddy, how you doing? 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.319 Oh man? I hate when you do that introduction because 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.360 every time I look at the weather report back home, 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.840 I feel so bad for the people that are suffering 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:53.200 through another polar vortex in the Midwest. So I can't 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.240 deny it's it's nice here, it's pleasant. But when you 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.800 talk about the new Bears hiring, I'm excited about it. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.600 I love bringing a guy aboard that is not going 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.080 to have to be taught about the division, about the 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:11.240 personnel groupings. I think there really expedite how influential he 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.800 can be in the brand new start of the career. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.639 Sean to say, so, I'm excited for both of them. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.440 I think they have the opportunity to fit well together 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.160 and work well together. So on the outside looking in 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.560 you say, well, okay, you know this is a completely 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.320 new defensive staff, but it's not. There are three new 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.320 defensive coaches, but there are other coaches. Make it four 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.440 defensive coaches that are brought in new and then coaches 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.080 now in new responsibilities, beginning with John. Decide we're gonna 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.519 hear from him on Monday, you have his first introductory 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.920 news conference as a defensive coordinator. But he's been around 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.160 a long time. He knows the personnel. Just want to 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.640 be most intrigued by what is the slant he's going 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.920 to put on this defense? Well, first question, if I 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:52.960 was in the in the audience, I would ask him 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.000 who's his biggest influence because as when we met Sean 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.360 in the NFL level, you know you got influence from 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:04.240 the Fangiel Then he got influencers from Chuck last year, 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.520 so you know who what resonated with him? What did 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.760 he feel out from the coaches that he was learning 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.320 from m SO and I'm just really excited to see 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.040 how Sean presents himself in front of the media. We've 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.840 got a lot of examples from the Zoom calls this 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.440 past year, but really, when the whole meeting is surrounded 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.360 by you as a hire and what you're doing in 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.920 the future, I'm really interested to see what happens Monday. Well. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.200 I think he'll do fine in that role. He does 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.920 have some relationship obviously with the Chicago media since doing 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.640 stuff even even on the Bears Coaches Show on w BBM. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.160 Over the years when we were able to do all 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.280 the assistant coaches and they we transitioned into just doing coordinators. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.080 You learned a lot about these assistant coaches and at 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.520 the at the beginning of his NFL career, learning a 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.560 lot about his ability to be a teacher. Number one, 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.119 That's what he was going to be. He was going 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.760 to be a teacher. They call him Doc for a reason, 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.680 you know, they do trust him and in football intelligence 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.480 and just his overall intelligence. How that translates, it's now 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.520 calling your defense will be the biggest, the biggest insight 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.080 that we can learn over the course of the sea 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.880 and we won't find that out until the season. Yeah, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.799 but you know, over the course, when Sean came aboard 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.280 to the Barrass facility and we would get there super 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.880 early on Monday mornings and Tuesday mornings, he was already 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.720 there filtering information for the next opponents. So this is 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.880 something that he's invested a lot of football time into, 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.560 learning about different offenses, different personnel, different types of schemes, 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.240 and then how they all fit into place with the 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.359 coordinators that he's worked with. So this is not something 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.039 that he hasn't invested in. He's put a lot of 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.000 time of himself and his family in order to get 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.240 this opportunity presented to him. And listen, bearrass fans, I 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.560 mean this is going to be a Vic Fangio type. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.080 I mean, I'm sure they be some blends here. You've 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.200 got all sorts of different influences on this defensive coaching 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.320 staff now, but it was Vic who you know he'd 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.400 love to have brought Sean decided to Denver. Mike Petton 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.240 worked with Vic fan Joe in Baltimore. He was a 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.719 Cleveland Brown's head coach at one point. There's all kinds 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.799 of angles to this. Bill McGovern will be your inside 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.440 linebackers coach. Bill Shoey, the outside linebackers coach already in 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.480 the system to shade Townsend. Obviously, Mike Adams has just 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.320 shortly been removed from the NFL and now he's an 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.440 assistant secondary coach with sixteen years of experience. Ron L. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.080 Williams and Shane Toberre defensive quality control coaches. So a 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.200 lot of names we've heard, we just don't know a 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.960 lot about them because they've had other background jobs. You know, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.039 it's interesting the foundations of the coaches that we've got 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.679 to meet because we were when we met Matt Maggie's father. 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.440 It's just it's a football player. It's a blue collar guy. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.760 And to talk about the experience. When you look at 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.920 the father of Mike Patton, if you ever look at 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.760 his career in what he was able to accomplish as 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.680 a high school coach over thirty three seasons, he had 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.479 like a three hundred and forty two and twenty four 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.400 record with multiple stage championships. So it's just more of 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.160 you learn about the backgrounds of these dedicated coaches and 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.360 you think of some of the biggest influences in their life, 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.039 and it's those types of people, and Mike was a 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.760 heck of a high school football coach. Also, Pennsylvania. You're 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.000 born and bred, so you got a lot of Pennsylvania. 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.800 You're coming through here, that's for sure. All right. When 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.320 we come back, we take our first break. Jim Miller 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.200 from Serious Sex M NFL Radio. The Bears two thousand 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.080 and one, starting quarterback in their playoff drive at Soldier 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.400 Field and getting beat by the Philadelphia Eagles, and our 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.920 guy Hugh Douglas. Oh what would have been? What would 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.360 have been? I tell you, Dick Giron always said, if 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.400 Jim just could have stayed healthy, That's what he always 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.719 kept saying. We'll talk to Big Jim all the crews 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.080 at the bottom of the hour. It's all coming up 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.320 by Bears All Access on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy 0:06:54.320 --> 0:07:07.960 the Score.

Jeff Joning, Act, 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.320 Tom Bear, and we Walcome in Jim Miller from Serious Sex, 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.360 m NFL Radio, Moving the Chains with Pat Kirwin, Big Jim, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.320 how you feeling I I'm doing great, Jeff, Tom always 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.080 good to be with you guys. Hey, we're gonna talk 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.840 about the post super Bowl first of all, but real 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:40.160 quick on the quarterback carousel. Everybody thinks because Matthew Stafford, 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.560 at least this is my impression from what pepar he's 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.560 bugging me about. Hey, you know one of the Bears 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.080 is gonna get a quarterback or what are they doing 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.240 at quarterback? How come it hasn't happened yet. Matthew Stafford 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.720 gets traded and everybody thinks it's all gonna happen at once. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.280 Tell people that this is going to be a process 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.400 for a lot of different reasons. One, not going to 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:05.400 rush into anything. Roster bonuses aren't due until mid March 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.560 from In most cases, there's the vetting process of exactly 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.800 what the salary cap is going to be. If you're 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.600 a team, you don't want to get put yourself in 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.320 a bad bad spot because of what the salary cap 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.720 might be for twenty twenty one, Nbond Absolutely, I think 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.240 teams want to get themselves fiscally, you know, in order 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.360 get their house in order with the financials, because you're 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:28.760 you're going to see a lot of guys out there. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.800 I mean there are teams like New Orleans is two 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.959 hundred million dollars over the cap. I mean there are 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.520 teams out there that are that are like that right now. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.120 So you're going to see a lot of reductions, a 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.720 lot of restructures, a lot of releases just where they 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.680 may approach a player player said I'm not taking a 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.360 pay cut. Well, teams got to get under the salary cap. 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.640 They may be releasing players that are out there. So 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.240 you're not going to see any players, at least quarterbacks 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.120 signed from that standpoint. So let's say like Dak Prescott, 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.360 Dallas right now is over the cap. They can't you know, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:07.000 they're not going to start negotiating with their quarterback just yet, 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.160 or do they have to place the tag on him, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.800 because if they have to place a forty million dollar tag, 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:16.640 second tag on Dak Prescott, that's going to significantly affect 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.960 the Dallas Cowboys and what they'll have to maneuver in 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.000 order to stay under the salary cap. Or he may 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.360 just be out there and be a free agent. I 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.560 don't know if that happens, but there's a lot of 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.240 things in this quarterback market that are really gonna you know, 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.560 affects some things and why teams will go about this slowly. 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.520 I know Carson Wentz has been in the news quite 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.160 a bit. To me, he's worth pennies on the dollar 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.360 right now, and that's why I think the latest report 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.480 was that they've been talking to the Colts. The Colts 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.000 actually want more compensation. If they're going to take on 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.000 that big contract, we will be getting more than everybody thinks. Oh, 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.960 they'll just give up to first round picks for Carson Wentz. No, 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.400 he's not worth that because his contracts so big. So 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.199 there's could be a lot of interesting things I have, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.320 But quarterbacks will be in the news a lot this 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.720 offseason because there'll be a ton of guys that are 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.720 out there and potentially could become available. We know what's 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.559 going on with Watson, we know what's going on with 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.400 Russell Wilson out there. Russell's interesting. I doubt Seattle gives 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.160 them away or trades him, but I guess, you know, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.600 if you sweeten the pot and make it so ridiculous 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:22.720 that they would move him. The reason why you like 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.679 Russell when why teams have been called his contracts really 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.600 friendly the next three years. You can get him for 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.880 like three years seventy billion dollars. That's pretty good for 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.000 a player of that caliber. That's why a lot of 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.920 teams Seattle, Big Jim. You know, it's something you know, 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.680 we're sitting here talk about the quarterback position. And I 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.719 think Brady really confused the situation because now people, I 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.040 don't know if you're looking for a long term solution 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.120 for the type of team you have surrounded, or are 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.800 you looking for that gun slinger like Brady. So when 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.680 you look at the first deal that went down with 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.559 the Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford, it seemed like they 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.840 immediate try to capitalize on the success at Tampa Bay 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.520 and then a big picture of the super Bowl being 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.360 there next year. So to me, when you look at 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:12.280 all these quarterbacks, because you know, Russell Wilson still has 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.600 something left in the tank. Obviously Deshaun Watson's a young man. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.880 But when you look at what Indianapolis tried to do 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.760 last year of Philip Rivers and is that their mentality? 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.640 Are they looking for long term stability at quarterback. So 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.480 I think Brady really kind of went and kind of 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.440 confused what every team's dream is looking forward at the 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:39.480 quarterback position. Yeah. Well, it's interesting because you know, Carolina 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.640 was in on that Matthew Stafford deal too. They were 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.800 going to give up their number twelve overall, but ultimately 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.400 the Lions acquiesced and let you know, Stafford kind of 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.240 drove it. Hey, he's been a good, solid citizen. He 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.600 has been the face of the franchise, almost like how 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.160 Alex Smith. You know, Andy Reid went to Alex Smith 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.120 and said, hey, where do you want to be? We've 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.120 got this guy Patrick Mahomes and Alex said, Hey, I'd 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.559 like to go to Washington, And that's why Alex was 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.240 trade there. And it's kind of the similar situation Detroit 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.600 because Matthew's been nothing but a good soldier for the Lions. Hey, Matthew, 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.200 where do you want to go? And he wanted to 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.360 go to the La Rams and so that's what kind 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.920 of drove those deals. But Carolina was interested because they're 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.760 thinking of future and Matthew still has many years ahead 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.720 of them, and I think teams are looking that way 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.240 at Carson Wentz. His best football literally should should be 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.720 ahead of them. So I would think Carolina will probably 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.720 make that call to Philly as well, and there'll be 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.280 more teams I think, start starting to get into this 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:38.760 mix for potentially Carson Wentz. All right, can I ask 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.600 you as this question though, this whole thing about it's 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:46.000 it's kind of interesting to me because the NBA, obviously, 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.520 the great players in the NBA can create a lot 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.440 of their own destination. I think Lebron started that whole 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.000 process years ago. But you know now because of Brady 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.480 leaving New England going to Tampa winning a Super Bowl. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.880 You know that Aaron Rodgers wasn't pleased that Jordan Love 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.760 was selected last year. And now the Russell Wilson, who 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.000 I admire. I think he's an outstanding quarterback and leader 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.240 in a really good face for a franchise, but coming 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.079 out strong, you know about getting hit and whatnot. There's 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:16.760 and we'll talk to old Cruts about this at the 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.720 bottom of the yar. I'm interested in his opinion as well, 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.680 and you as players and Jim as a quarterback. The 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.360 one thing a team has to do what it has 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.400 to do, even as it regards Wentz, he never said 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.360 anything about it, but the insinuation is he didn't appreciate 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.240 the drafting of Jalen Hurts. You got to accept competition, 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.720 I mean at every position, including that one. I just 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.000 don't understand that type of thinking. As a guy who's 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.480 analyzed football here for the last twenty five thirty years, 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:52.120 I don't get that part. Do you believe that's okay? 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:58.160 Or do you guys both believe that that's an unnecessary reaction? Yeah, 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.800 I think players got to understand, and you know, it's 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:02.600 it's one thing for a player to say why I 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.000 want to be involved in personnel decisions. I mean that 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.280 that doesn't happen and it shouldn't happen because you've got scouts, 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.360 You've got people that that do that job. I mean, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.400 no offense to Russell Wilson, he's not scouting through all 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.920 these wide receivers or all these offensive linemen and watching 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.040 every snap. They've drafted fifteen offensive linemen for him up 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.040 there in the Great Northwest m So he's not watching 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.720 the tape on on these guys. He's not going to 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.520 know about him or what they can and cannot do. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.840 And that's you know, But like for when it comes 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.160 to free agents. Uh, you know, I've had coaches approach 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.480 me about, hey man, we're thinking about signing this guy, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.560 what do you know about him? Or say you're bringing 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.640 on a coach on a staff like for Russell. I 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.840 don't see Russell go anywhere because he was part of 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.720 Shane Walden joining that staff, all right. They want to 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.160 make sure that, Yeah, our quarterback is going to get along. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.560 This is what we're thinking, Russell. This is the philosophy 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.640 we're looking to bring here, what we're going to try 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.400 and make sure that relationship is good. I mean, I 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.040 think we all understand that. But when it comes to 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.200 personnel and decisions like that, I mean, the players really 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.240 aren't going to know they're they're not grinding through the 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.720 tape to know any better. And plus it's the financial 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.640 side of it too. It's one thing to say. I 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.360 remember because when I arrived in New England, Bill Belichick 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.120 was asked me about a couple of players. He was 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.160 asking about Big Cat Williams, who they signed, and he 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.920 asked me about Bobby Ingram. You know what I thought 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.080 about because obviously Bobby went out and had some great 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.160 years in Seattle, and you know coaches will ask you 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.080 information on that. Now whether they take that information and 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.520 use it to make a decision, but they just want 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.040 to get your thoughts on a player maybe that you've 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.600 played with, and that's about it. Tim, I understand that 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.360 that's that's nor I mean that that's a given. That's 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.760 a given. You know, the personnel to decisions is too 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.000 sensitive for a player to be involved in a lot 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.920 of different directions because there is no secret And when 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.000 you talk about the war room leading up to the 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.400 day of the draft, you're talking about a room that 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.680 it's difficult to get in because they don't want to 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.920 see the conversations that you're having behind closed doors. And 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.080 then you talk about a player wanting to get involved, 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.160 So what are they going to start promoting a player 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.040 that their agent has attachment to, And then you're going 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.600 to start getting involved in a business end that's not 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:18.080 necessarily unethical, but it's it's not realistic in terms of 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.440 the secret to the secretiveness of guys that Hey, I'm 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.440 you know, I want this guy to be around in 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.760 the seventh round, you know, so maybe we can kind of, 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.440 you know, just ignore him until he gets to that 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.560 to that opportunity so for a player that's going to 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.800 be around a shorter period of time, um and being 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:41.640 involved in personnel decisions, No, I would not have any 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.880 agreement with that. It's the old cliche owner's own coaches 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.600 coach players. Yeah, you know, it really is because and 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.880 I know it seems to be an ugly situation down 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.920 there and in you know, Houston, or if Russell Wilson 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.080 is unhappy, which I don't think he is. I think 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.120 you know, he just said, hey, you know I've been 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.360 getting sacked a lot that they're trying to address that 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.800 right now. So I don't see him going anywhere. But 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.480 at the end of the day, they're under contract. They 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.680 have a no trade clause, both of them. I mean 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.760 that both those teams can just say, all right, fine, 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.680 you don't you don't want to show up, Fine, don't 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.720 don't show up. We'll just find you a million bucks. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.159 It's forty thousand dollars a day. And I would you know, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.800 that's the leverage the team has. The players really have 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.160 no leverage. So you know, it's it's kind of where 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.359 it's at Orlando Brown trying to talk his way out 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.239 of Baltimore right now. Okay, this is what we call 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.040 the protest season, right because no football going on. They 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.800 can protest all they want. They're not going anywhere. I 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.520 call the lying season. Maybe it's both, it's both. Yeah. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.199 He says he's a left tackle and that's what he 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.200 wants to be, so he knows that's a big paid 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.119 We just signed Ronnie Stanley for ninety eight million bucks. 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.200 But we do like how you played left tackle. But 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.679 well we're gonna put you back over at the right, 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.600 all right, we gotta take a break. Jim Miller Our 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.040 guests from Serious x M NFL Radio with Tom Fair. 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.439 I'm Jeff Johnny AC and this is Bears All Access 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:16.080 on Chica Go Sports Radio six seventy the Score.

Let's talk super Bowl. First of all, 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.240 I saw these statistics. I'm a thrown at you. I 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.760 love them. They're from there from the fifty five Super Bowls. 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:43.119 All right, team with the fewest turnovers no brainer, thirty 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:47.359 eight and five record in Super Bowls, team with the 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:54.240 most rushing attempts forty six and seven, and the team 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:58.480 with the most rushing yards forty one to thirteen. Now, again, 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:00.880 if you're winning and you're sat in the game away, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:02.680 you're gonna get the more carries in the more yards. 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.240 But I just please, there's a place for a running 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.040 game in the NFL, and there's a place for it 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.320 in twenty twenty one and beyond. So I know that 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:16.440 you both will agree with me on that, right Tommy, Well, yeah, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.560 I think Jim, Yeah, I hope you didn't be in 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.480 agreement because the guys that run the ball successfully, that's 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.479 their game plan going into the game. It's not something 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.600 that's offered to them in the mid middle of the 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.880 first quarter. And you know you've got to you just 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.720 events allow you to do it. This is what you 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.400 come into the game plan. It's it's gonna major, it's 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.119 going to influence the rest of what you try to 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.399 do on offense. But yeah, I mean, a running game 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.160 has been the foundation of a lot of a lot 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.480 of success in the NFL, and I think the Super 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.679 Bowl proves it. As for let me just look at 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.600 the teams in the postseason. Out of the out of 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.119 the fourteen teams, I think ten of them are in 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.520 that top fourteen. And just in terms of holl of 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.400 running football, we could go through Baltimore, Rams, Green Bay. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.320 It goes on and on and on of how well 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.679 they ran the football all season long, and that statistic 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.520 in the Super Bowl. I mean for Tampa Bay to 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.199 rush for one hundred and forty five yards and I 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:14.119 thought Leonard Fournette, he was big for them down the 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.600 stretch and what he was able to do, so, you know, 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.520 and that's with the rookie right tackle. Look how well 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:21.880 Tristan Worst played all year and that's a pretty good 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.480 offensive line that they surrounded Tampa Bay with. And unfortunately 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:30.080 for Kansas City, they had three significant injuries. Remember Tardif 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.400 opted out, They signed Collecchio, assembly he ends up tearing 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.280 his pack, so they're basically down to their third right 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.320 guard from that standpoint, and they lost both their tackles. 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:44.199 So I mean, that's definitely duly noted, Jeff. Is what 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.399 I'd say. You gotta run the football, You know one thing, Jim, 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.600
