WEBVTT - Eberflus: Consistency and execution | Coaches Show 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.240 Had a pleasant, good evening everybody, and walking into the 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.720 Bears Coaches Show with Bears head coach Matt Ebert, Flus 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:06.840 Jeff joniach with you until I had o'clock tonight here 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.840 on news radio one oh five nine WBBM or recap 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:11.879 the twenty to twelve lost to the New York Giants. 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:13.680 Thanks for joining us, everyone, and get even Matt, how 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.120 you feel good? Even? How are you feeling? I'm doing fine, 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.560 doing fine. What'd you learn? What'd you learn? Well? You know, 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.279 I had a team meeting this morning with the players 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.160 and you know, really just talked about consistency of execution. 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:25.560 You know, I think we're doing a lot of good 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.880 things out there on the field, but we need to 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.120 do it more consistently. And that was the main thing 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.600 we're working to improve on, just the basics, you know, 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.040 your alignment, your assignment and your technique. And that's what 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.360 came out of the film for us. And really, I 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.320 thought we did a nice job yesterday, you know, in 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.880 special teams for sure, you know, obviously flipping the field 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.800 and two kickoffs inside to twenty. We had that punt 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.120 that was inside the four, and they operated well all day. Obviously, 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.600 had the cause fumble on the punt that set us 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.520 up for a field goal. And obviously we're all disappointed 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.400 in the last play, of course, you know, if you 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.760 can't take that back. But overall, we thought the special 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.920 teams played well. Execution of the offense, How did you 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.839 feel about it? We did a nice job of getting 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.960 the ball down the field. Mooney got started, which was awesome, 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.680 and he threw that He threw that great bomb down 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.000 the sideline, and I thought that was a great adjustment 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.160 by Mooney to be able to lean into the guy 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.680 and then come back to the football and create some 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.240 space for himself. All right, we're gonna get into justin 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:21.800 later on of the program. I'm going to commit a 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.360 whole segment to it, because that's everybody wants to talk about. 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.319 But overall, though that that alone, that one play alone 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.560 should mean significance to both players. I don't care what 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.200 defense you're playing. Yeah, I think the chemistry for those 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.600 guys is just starting to grow, you know, and it's 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.520 been there in practice, you know, now we're starting to 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.200 see it in the game. So I really think that's true. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.520 All right, let's go to the defensive side of the ball. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:51.240 Gap responsibility contain. These are awards that popped up yesterday 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.000 after watching. I'm sure you'll cover that here today. But 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.080 the slight of hand by Daniel Jones, he's exceptional at it. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.600 Number one doesn't make any excuses obviously, but it is 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.080 a difficult thing to deal with with Sae Kwon Barkley, 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.240 just that two man game of what they did and 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.600 how you guys defended it. Where are the preach points, 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.560 I guess for you. Yeah, we just we need to improve. 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.040 I'm playing, you know, the boot keepers and don't know 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.720 who's taking the second contain and who has that on 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.920 every single play, you know, the three times that ran 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.720 the play. We're in three different coverages, so it's different 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.079 on each one, but we do have a guy that's 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.040 assigned to them, and we have to do a better 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.040 job with executing there. And with that. Is that something 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.280 that you can't necessarily fix swats going on at the 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:35.960 time or do you need to get back in the 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.119 locker room because it did change in the second half. Yeah, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.400 we again, we I think we needed to fix it faster. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.160 Yeah we can't. You know, you can have a play 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.919 happened to you once, but you shouldn't have it happened 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.680 to you two times? And we need to do a 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.040 better job there of adjusting. And certainly we made the 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.560 adjustment at halftime and you know we didn't see it there. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.280 We ended up getting a sack on the second time 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.680 they ran it and uh, you know in the second half. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.520 But got to do it better. The rub is I 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.880 think people have asked me already, well, you know they 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.160 want these guys flying off the line of scrimmage to 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.440 get off's got to be critical, you know. And but 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.399 you want that, but you also have to play responsibilities 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.640 and everybody's got to do their assignment right. This goes 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:15.320 back to what you continuously say alignment, assignment and key execution. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.520 Yeah so yeah, so, but I mean that is you 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.440 do want these guys flying off? Oh you do? Yeah, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.800 that's We're a penetrating defense. You know, we penetrate up 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.679 front and our linebackers are downhill and that's how we play. 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.360 That's our style. But there's certain you got to read 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.200 your keys. You know, your eyes have to be disciplined, 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.079 you know, so when you get that boot key down, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.720 you have to shuffle down. As a defensive end, they'll 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.720 be able to get up in their face. And it's 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.480 the same thing with the linebackers. You know, you got 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.880 to be able to read the flow of the lineman 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.800 to be able to see that it's boot okay and 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.640 then come out of that to be able to recontained. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.160 So we just have to improve on our eye discipline. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.920 Let's talk about the second half, because now four straight 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.600 games no touchdown, that's not something insignificant here. So again, 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.000 if it's a bend, no break, if it's opportunistic activity, 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.040 the proper tackle at the right time, a turnover, these 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.800 things should continue to build confidence for that unit, especially 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.000 late in game. Second half. No, it's good. It's the 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.600 guys did a nice job again yesterday and you know, 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.760 we commend him for that, and uh, you know, it's 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.040 more about us, you know, being consistent, you know, throughout 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.240 the game, and we're working on that and the guys 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.720 will get that this week. All right, let's tell you 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.800 injuries you mentioned in your news conference, Cody White are 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.920 gonna miss some time. I've known him since the day 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.080 he walked in here for seven years. The guy doesn't 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.200 even like missing a single practice rep, let alone a game. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.880 So however long he's out, that's gonna be tough for 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.200 a guy like oh, Cody. Cody is a great man, 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.279 and he's the first guy that contacted me as a 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.040 player when I got the job here, and you know, 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.160 I always remember that had a chance to talk to him. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:44.960 He was the first Bear that I talked to in 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.240 terms of the players. But he's a great first impression. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.279 You know, he had ninety nine starts with only two 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.360 miss games, and he is the apitity of what Chicago 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.280 Bear toughness is. And we're certainly going to miss him 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.120 here for a few weeks. And again we'll we'll make 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.680 adjustments as we go, um, you know, through the course 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.400 of the week and find our best five you know, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.960 inside there and go from there. Yeah. But the good 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.640 news is, and I mean listening to what you're saying here, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.880 it doesn't appear to be a season ending injury. No, 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.960 it does not appear that to appear to be that way. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.680 That's good news right there. I talk about the offensive 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.440 line in general, how I fared yesterday. Yeah, they were 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.279 good in points. They were good in points. I thought 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.720 we you know, gave up too much inside pressure. Um 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.480 at times. You know, we just got to work on 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.080 our fundamental and technique in there. We had they had 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.240 some one on ones inside the We have to win 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.480 those matchups. Overall, they did a solid job of keeping 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.920 the pocket at times, but again it's about consistency of execution. 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:38.560 You know, when we get that, when we have time 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.800 to throw the ball, we can ride the pocket, we 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.600 can deliver it. You saw what we did yesterday. We 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.880 had some good explosive passes, which is nice. Um. Overall, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.839 in terms of the run game, you know, obviously been 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.560 running the ball at a really good clip. We ran 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.400 it good yesterday, but again it's not up to our standards. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:53.880 We want to run the ball a little bit better 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.400 than that, and our guys got to come off the ball. Um. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.440 The runners got to finish the runs violently, and we 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.080 saw some that yesterday, But it has to be more consistent. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.320 How you know, you got a three hundred and forty 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.880 pounder in there, and those big guys are hard to 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.560 move though, aren't they. Yeah, yeah, you have to move 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.240 them with you know, sometimes their singles, sometimes there's doubles 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.760 and and you know, we had some good production yesterday too. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.320 All right, so let's let's break down that whole scenario 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.520 at the end of the game, because you mentioned it already, Trent, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.839 and go with an absolutely superb punt. You get the 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.400 long field, you get the punt, and what's going through 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.360 your mind at this point forget forget about them off 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.800 for the moment, but you're thinking to yourself, Okay, you 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.400 know this is setting up ideally here. Yeah, that was 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:35.800 that what was going through your head. Yeah, we had 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.240 to make the decision there, you know. It was you know, 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.520 third and two and a half. We end up running 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.680 it in there and didn't get any arts, so we 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.000 decided to punt it, and we punted it and we 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.320 rolled down to the four at three or four, so 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.599 we had all three of our time outs available to 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.440 us there. We banged one on the first one, bang 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.760 one on the second down, and then you know, waste 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.960 minimal time. And then the third down we let go 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.680 because we were going to have the two minute warning 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.760 and then we were thinking we're gonna get the ball 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.440 midfield with a one time out with two oh one 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.000 was the number we had right there with first down, 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.320 So we felt good about our chances at a score 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:09.960 and have a two point conversion to tie it. And 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.320 I think we've done a pretty good job from there. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.960 Patrick Scales on the ball, will send it back to Trenton. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.920 Gill Spot is good. Kick his up by Badgeley and 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.480 he's two for two. He nails it from twenty two, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.280 sixth place, seventy seven yard drive. Great seats available to 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.040 see her Chicago Bears this season at Soldier Field. Get 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.600 your tickets at Chicago Bears dot com slash tickets. Welcome 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.520 back to the Bears Coach the show. Just heard one 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.360 of four Michael Badgeley field goals. We talked about it 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.400 a lot. You know, the guy came up in there 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.760 through New Jersey, That's where he grew up and just 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.040 nailed everything. He's only missed one inside of forty in 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.320 his career, so he pretty automatic. No, he's he's been 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.280 good throughout his career. We had him in Indianapolis a 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.480 couple of years back, and he did a real nice 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.280 job for us when he was filling in there, and 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.440 and what a pro you know, what a great young 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.480 man he is, first of all, and he came through 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.640 for us, you know, four to four and did a 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.520 heck of a job. You know, I got to really 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.800 say also say to Ryan Poles and his staff there, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.960 you know, with Cairo um, you know, having his personal situation, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.040 you know, he ended up calling in some kickers. We 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.600 worked him out, We were able to sign him, you know, Badley. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.480 So that was so so good by those guys. And 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.280 really fourth, you know, thinking by Ryan and his staff. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.840 It's an underrated thing around league, that emergency list, and 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.360 you gotta have connections and get things moving in the 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.360 right direction for something like that. We'll touch on Cairo 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.600 in a second, but uh, and then just to trust 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.080 your eyes in that moment during a workout, and and 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.400 going with your gut right because and there's no time 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.720 for introductions, and get him in, get him on the plane. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.520 You know, there's been some great career spawned from that. 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.120 Robbie Gould here, who's you know, got on a plane 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.920 to play Cleveland and he's still kicking. How is Cairo? 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.000 I think, Uh, everything sounds everything, everything's good. Kyle was 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.200 back in the building. Everything looks up and up. And 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.120 again I'll let him discuss his personal matter with everybody 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.000 once he gets to the Metia here this week, but uh, yeah, 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.600 everything looks great. And for emergency purposes, I wrote this 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.360 down on my notes this morning. Would it be advantageous 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.959 to have a second kicker on the practice squad. Is 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.440 that if you really value somebody, it's it's more spots 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.320 down the practice squad. I know, I'd like to develop 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.880 players and so forth, but situations like these, whatever might 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.000 happen during a practice, somebody gets hurt, whatever, is that 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.320 something that, Yeah, it would be a good idea. I 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.000 think it could be. You know, I haven't discussed that 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.920 yet with Ryan, but you know, I think it could 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.160 be advantageous for sure. All right, let's talk about Cole 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:35.479 Commet the tight end screen loved it. I loved the screenplays. Obviously, 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.360 they can take the start out of a pass rush 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.839 pretty good. But a couple of those really can get 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.920 a quarterback going too. Yeah, no doubt, they're really good. 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.240 Those wide delay screens. You know, they're tough to defend, 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.080 you know, once you know, because we got some athletic 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:49.960 lineman that can get out there on the blocks, you know, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.240 to lead that way. And the lineman did a good job. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.160 You know, Cody did a nice job on that play. 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.439 You know, Tevin did a nice job on that play, 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.840 you know, and you know Sam also, So you have 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:01.520 to have the blockers in front of you, you know, 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.120 and then the Titans really got to do good job 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.120 of selling it. You got to really sell that protection 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.400 piece to it before you flip, you know, and catch 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.840 that pass. So he's been doing a nice job with that. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.640 Trevior Westcoe got a fair amount of snaps in this one. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.360 We don't know that much about him here, but he's 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.319 been in the league for a while, had himself a 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.200 catch in this game as well. We can tell us 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.160 more about what he's done. A good job. You know, 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.520 he's coming late, you know, from you know, obviously after 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.480 training camp, and uh, you know, he's been great, you know, 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.360 doing a great job of picking up the offense, you know, 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.600 and uh, we really are pleased to have him because 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.800 he's our hy blocker, you know. So Ryan's been out, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.200 he's been on the ball blocking that y spot and 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:37.959 on that particular played did a nice job of getting 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.360 his depth and really made a nice catch and Jake 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.240 tongas with with one snap Ryan maybe on the mend 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.200 here Ryan Griffin, Yeah, we hope. So he's day to day. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.800 We'll see where he is. Like a lot of guys, 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.520 you know, demos that same way, he's a day to 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.640 day guy. We'll see where he is and we'll go 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.360 from there. All right, let's switch back to the running 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.680 game for a moment. Another good number in yards like 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.640 you mentioned in the first segment, but hard to earn 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.640 against the Giants, but seven hundred nine yards after four games, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.480 that's the most by the Bears since nineteen eighty eight. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.880 So again, for some reason, the league is putting up 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.840 a lot of numbers around the league with rushing yards. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.600 We theorized on the team playing top there, and there's 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.040 there's a lot of different reasons. But going back to 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.600 the old blood of your nose type of running game 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.440 is not a bad idea. Say, you know when you 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.680 need it right, yeah, yeah, you have to rely on 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.679 a good running game, So open up the passing game. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.959 So I think that's something we're building. And the offensive line, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.360 you know, Chris Morgan and Luke gets you have done 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.040 a great job of calling up these runs and coaching 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.080 them up. You know, it's it's not as easy as 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.440 it looks. You know, you have to block force the 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.160 right way. We got to change it when the defensive 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.400 presents different looks and you have to have those things 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.280 built in, and they do a wonderful job and I 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.640 think gets you referred to it last week. You know, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.360 the cans from one side of the other, from one 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.440 run play to the next, or you know, a pass 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.079 play to a run play. And our quarterbacks had a 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.600 great job doing that, you know, And that's not an 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.240 easy job. And he's he's really a nice job. A 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:06.760 note on a justin on his scrambles, and he's joked 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.320 about it in the past two even last season. His slides. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.599 Would you like them to begin sooner to avoid a 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.160 pot or you know, sometimes it gets a little awkward 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.760 and the risk of injuries. I think he's I think 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.480 he does a good job of that. I think he does. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.680 You know, those defenders have to fly, you know, he slides, 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.040 you know, because he's a quick he's a quick guy. Yeah, 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.040 so he does it pretty quick, and those defenders just 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.439 have to fly over top of him and can't hit him. 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.400 So the Giants lurking all around. Their safety is back deep. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.640 Corner's way off the ball. It's third and twenty. Field's 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.320 gonna flick it. Passes caught Herbert forty five forty thirty 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.160 five thirty in the first dive of the pairs, moves 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.040 the scrum pile down there. The twenty seven of the 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:50.319 New York Giants. Well time perfectly blocked up fields to 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.280 Herbert for twenty four yards on the screen on third 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.439 down and a long way to go a kickoff tailgating 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.680 season with a league leading lineup at your local jewel 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.000 osco get everything from chips and tips, two wings and 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.240 other things in one quick trip, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.480 And we just heard the twenty four yards screen on 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.680 third and twenty Time has a joke and the broadcast 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.920 when it gets a certain number, we don't have plays 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.840 for that man, but you did on third and twenty. No, 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.840 that was a good a good play callum there and 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.920 obviously really good execution. You know. That was really a 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.079 good way to flip the field. And we did a 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.320 nice job there and those those things are always good 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.080 to have. And I thought we had the right play 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.680 call but also the right person. You know, Herbert's a 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.960 strong runner south, he gets vertical right now, he gets 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.640 north right now, and he's got his pads down. And again, 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.440 like I explained earlier on the Kolkamet screen, it takes everybody, 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.640 you know, so you got receivers blocking down the field, 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.280 you know, Saint Brown was blocking down their Pettis was 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.600 blocking down there, a mirror was blocking the mirror yep, 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.839 and Tevin Jenkins had not one, but two two different blocks, 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.559 two big blocks on that one. You know, So the 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:54.960 guy's got to get out in front of it and 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.959 did nice jobs. That was a great team effort. So 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.880 aside from and whatever the scheme is, you know, whatever 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.720 the decisions are. My Luke getsy when you guys put 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:06.320 together the game plans. Can the screen become something that, hey, 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.360 you know what's coming? You can't stop a type of 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.400 thing that becomes a real weapon if it's run just 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.960 so perfectly. Yeah, I think you have to have a 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.480 number of screens because you have to change the looks 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.600 and change who's getting the screens, and then change the 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.200 formations and the motions in front of them. So I 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.200 think you can't be predictable. I think it's got to 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.400 be a different look every time, which I think we've 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.520 done a good job of that. How do defenses feel 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.000 about defending screens? A lot of time deception angle that 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.120 you know gets them going twenty a lot of times. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.720 What people do is they back up, you know, you 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.040 get that front line at ten yards on a third 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.640 and twenty so you got space to block, guys. You know, 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.280 the one thing you got to have is athletic lineman 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.000 to be a block in space, and we have that 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.840 with Herbert nineteen to seventy seven, now six point one 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.160 yards to carry on his fifty two carries this year, 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.800 and I love going into the history. So you know, 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.800 it's Walter Payton and Gail Sayers the only other backs 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.000 with better than six yards of carry with at least 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.640 fifty attempts to start a season. Peyton did it in 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.120 nineteen seventy seven and Sayers did it in nineteen sixty eight. 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.720 So that's some pretty rare company. I know, it's not 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.960 a me sport. It's a regard right there for sure. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.960 But emphasizing the production though it's it's it's good stuff, No, 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:19.600 it is, it is. And you know you have to 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.600 build on things, you know that are positive, and that's 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.560 certainly a positive for us. And he's got a good 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.040 downhill style, and he's got a good bounce out and 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.480 a good cut back, and he's got his pads low 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.280 and he reads those plays really nice, and you know 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.080 he's got to continue to do that really press that 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.400 line of scrimmage and read those things at the last moment. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.400 Also with reading with Justin facing a lot of eight 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.200 man fronts right now, obviously with him and the backs 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.000 that are doing so well and Giants play man. You 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.960 know they turned their back. Is that give him an 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.720 immediate invitation to take that ball and go well? Yeah, 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.840 I mean it More importantly, it opens up the passing game, 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.720 you know when you get eight man box and a 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.320 lot of times they were they were going zero yesterday, 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.240 so we you know, we got a chance to take 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.560 advantage of those things with those downfield throws, and we 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.480 got to continue to do that. And for the fans 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.120 who are not exs and those crazy like we are, 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.440 zero means zero means when they have nobody in the 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.280 middle of the field, you know, so cover one with 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.320 you they got one guy back and cover zero they 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.200 have nobody back, So they got more guys on the 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.800 line of scrimmage and their max pressuring and the zero 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.880 blitz is they just bring the house. A lot of 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.600 run blitz is yesterday, don't you think, Yeah, yeah, a 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.240 lot of them. How do you think they responded to 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.160 those runblitz is good? Yeah? I thought we did a 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.560 good job of pushing the pile and getting positive yards 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.720 on most of them. A lot of stuff to build 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.320 on offensively, and I know everybody wants it right now, 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.640 and so there's a throw up your hands type of 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.240 feeling at times. Well, can you tell folks about how 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.960 hard it is to develop an offense, especially a new 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.240 one with a lot of young players and a young quarterback. Yeah, 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.640 I mean it starts from the beginning, you know, when 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:54.160 you put informations, motions, shifts, you know, run blocking. You 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.600 know how we have a variance of runs. You know, 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.800 we're not just an outside stretch team. We run other schemes. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.120 We got what we call gap schemes where they people 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.840 actually poll sometimes garden tackle poll. Sometimes it's the guard. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.680 And then how we block force, you know, that's so important. 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.239 You can see it visibly on tape. How we use 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.000 our receivers to block force. And there's the varying ways 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:15.800 to do that based on the coverage shell, based on 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.200 the front. Sometimes those guys are inserting inside the tight 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:23.040 end to block inside there. So it's an important part. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.800 So there's it's all eleven of us doing the same 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.479 thing at the same time, you know, and that's just 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.560
