Everybody, 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.519 Welcome in. As the Bears get ready to take on 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.160 the Lions at Soldier Field on Sunday, we will break 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.159 it down for you and take a temperature of this 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.560 team after that horrible loss to the Green Bay Packers. 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.600 I'm Jeff Jonnyac, my broadcast partner from WBBM, and the 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.959 former Chicago Bears Super Bowl winning guard Tom fare Good 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.720 even time. How you doing, buddy, Big Jeff, I'm doing good. 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.440 Just you know, thinking about this game Detroit Chicago, there's 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.279 so much conversation outside the realm of football that it's 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.280 almost taking on a life of its own. So it's 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.600 gonna be interesting to see what locker room can handle 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.680 the different pressures, pressures that each have coaches have on 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.720 them that will take them into the game Sunday, Big Tim, 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.640 what do you think about some of this conversation as 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.399 it pertains to the Bears. I think you're alluding to 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.119 just a firing Naggi on earlier the week after the game, 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.479 well placed. You know, he was ticked off about how 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.399 things where players are ticked off. Everybody's ticked off. But 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.440 I'll put in the same beame. Remember, now, this is football. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.880 You know, guys sometimes get yelled at or get told 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.240 that they're not playing well enough. And I think that's 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.240 that's pretty fair, isn't it. Yeah, But you know the 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.440 thing about a locker room of professional type a personality 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.360 football players is they have to have thick skin because 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.360 at some point time in your career, whether it's Pop Warner, 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.680 high school, college or professional, you're gonna get criticized in 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.160 front of the general public, and you're gonna get criticized 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.640 in front of your teammates and your peers, and it's 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.120 all how about you grow from that? Now? If you 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.480 go if we go to the game Sunday in the 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:06.080 defense is absolutely lifeless, then you're gonna see that message 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.720 didn't really resonate. But if you're gonna see energy fill 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.000 tackling machine really stop at the point of attack and 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.840 covered the passing game. Well, then you're gonna see a 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.040 message that got across and it did exactly what Matt 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.000 intended it to do, all right. Coming up on our show, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.120 we're gonna be joined here shortly by Lomas Brown, the 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.079 former NFL tackle an analyst that does what Tom does 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.760 for us for the Detroit Lions radio network. Good friend 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.120 of ours and able to talk to him about the 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.280 Detroit Lions. Just who is available, Well, Kenny Galladay play 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.680 the Santa Rita's star receiver that makes a big difference 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.440 in tilting the field. Also joined by Bears center Sam 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.400 Mustafer at the bottom of the hour at six thirty 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.000 after his performance and returned to the lineup for an 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.200 offensive line with his remade and six different group of 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.239 linemen this year. And we'll hear from some Cordell Patterson 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.280 for our Bears Game Day live feature player profile you'll 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.600 here and see on our show with Luke Anellis, myself 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.240 and Tom on Sunday morning at ten thirty on Fox 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.399 thirty two Chicago. Here's a little clip from to Sean 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.359 Gibson todaytime after Matt Nage's meeting with the defense, which 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.840 he does every single Wednesday, drops in kind of sets 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.360 the tone for the week in terms of practice. But 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.920 this after his criticism and coming down hard on the unit. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.280 He never know how certain guys might take certain things 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.560 or how certain guys might read into it, and he 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.400 clarified it won't want to specifics, but just let us 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.679 know yet our back end and whatever the comments. However, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.800 Day was taking that the guys who know him, and 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.840 you know, obviously guys know him longer than I have. 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.520 I've only been here a year, man, but I have 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.360 a great deal of respect for him. So just pretty 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.160 much let us know, man, Like it wasn't a finger 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.520 point session, and that's nothing that he you know, for 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.640 it to be that, you know, we would have been 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.040 kind of caught off bass for him letting us know, Man, 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.960 it wasn't a finger point session. Man. It just was 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.400 him talking about the game, frustrations and things like that. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.800 But making a mistake about him. Man, he still he's 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.560 still believing everything that we can't do as a defense man. 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.680 And you know, it wasn't nothing personal. So like I said, man, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.560 we got a mature people on defense, and I don't 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.040 personally think nobody and I talked to was personally offended 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.560 and brought up the comments. So honestly, Hetty not even 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.560 saying nothing. I don't think that it was. It was 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.600 something that people would have lingered on and thought about, 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.480 to be honest with you, But like I say, him 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.479 being the guy that the years, he got in front 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.200 of it just in case there was anybody who had 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.240 any ill wheel towards the comments. So no, everybody's saying 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.680 the same thing here, and Gibson included used the word 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.719 embarrassing on how they played defensively, and you know, hey, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.360 you gotta chalk it up. It was not a good 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.880 day at the office. And now it's about moving forward. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.839 Though we're already talking about the same stuff from Sunday 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.920 that here on Thursday, when you got the Detroit Lions 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.960 on the schedule coming up here in a few hours. Basically, well, 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.799 you know, the thing about it is Matt didn't point 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.400 out anybody. He pointed out the unit as a whole. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.320 And I think he would be a little naive if 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.039 he didn't to address the performance of the defense on 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.279 last Sunday. But again, let's talk about it moving forward 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.240 and how it will be when they face the Detroit Lions, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.599 because there's a lot of question marks that they don't 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.400 even know the answers too yet, because this is a 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.479 there's such a different team from the Bears and from 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.120 Detroit Lions that faced each other the first week of 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:20.479 the season, and no bigger imprint left than what Daryl Bevill, 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.400 the new head coach, is going to be able to 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.120 do with Matthew Stafford, a talented offensive coordinator and a 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.880 talented quarterback. Yeah, they both teams losing by the same 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.560 scores coming into this game, giving up forty one points 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.039 one to Houston on to Green Bay and four and 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.960 six sens that week one meeting. But Daryl Bevil has 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:38.960 been preaching fun. We'll find out more about that from 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.800 Thomas Brown here in a couple of minutes. Reflect back 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.680 on your career, Tom, did you ever remember walking into 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.719 a buzz saw with an in seasoned firing for a 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.159 team that you played that you may have east back 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.240 a little bit because they were in turmoil and then 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.240 you got burned. Oh man, that's a good question. Um, 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.640 You know, I really don't recall a team firing their 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.000 staff or head coach or any of their personnel. The 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.719 week leading up to our game, because you know, Jeff, 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.520 we never really thought outside our own bubble. Yeah, we 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.680 prepared for our next opponent, but we were so concerned 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.880 for our own job in the evaluation of our own coaches, 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.680 that we didn't worry that what was going on with 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.120 another team. And I think some of the coaches that 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.880 I played for, they would only message the only message 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.080 that they would deliver this week about how you can 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.840 prepare as a Chicago Bear to be better to play 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.520 against the Detroit Lions. And Matt Nigge does that too. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.680 It is about what they do, not about what the 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.000 Lions are doing, and that seems to be his approach 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.440 every single week. Today had practiced Acheam Hicks back on 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.719 a limited basis. That's good news. Sixteen days after leaving 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.040 the Vikings game with a hamstring injury. Clil macmissed his 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.720 second day with a back precautionary only in nature, so 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.479 the expectation they'll play left tackle Charles Letto Junior limited today. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.359 Did not practice yesterday with that sword tow and it 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.039 looks like Nick Foles would be the backup quarterback after 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.279 his return from a hip injury at full practice today. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.640 Coming up next, Lomas Brown will join us, the Lions 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.120 analyst and former great offensive lineman for Detroit. This is 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.000 Bears All Access brought to you by IGS Energy. How 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:19.880 Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the Score.

Jeff 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.880 Joniak mcbroadcast partner Tom thare as we break down Bears Lions, 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.000 joined now by Lions radio analysts and a first round 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.040 pick in the eighty five draft of year. Big Tom 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.920 and his guys stormed the NFL lomis and won the 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.440 Super Bowl. You had to deal with that bunch as 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.040 a young man opening day left tackle and eleven year careers, 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.080 the sixth overall pick from Florida. How'd you handle that? One? Man? 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.880 How did you do it? I still I still wake 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.559 up in the middle of the night with swits thinking 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:01.880 about dirty Din Richard bent Umber ninety five. Man. That 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.280 was Jimman Wilber Marshall, my former teammate. Man. That was 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.520 the most out tell people to this day, best defense 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.920 I ever played against, ever played against. Man. Best defensive 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.800 old time man. That was awesome. So I'm still after 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.560 all these years, I'm still having chiels thinking about those guys. 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.440 YEA ever wake up in a cold sweat having a nightmare, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.360 because I tell you, you know, I don't know what 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.320 did you So when you got there, your draft weight 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.720 listed draftway was two eighty two, which in those days 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.640 and at six four, I mean now you could be 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.439 I saw a tight end at Iowa State the other 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.920 day at two seventy, so you know, things change as 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.160 you'd have to be in the three three bills range here. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.320 So what was the highest way you ever got too? Well, 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.680 actually that they cheated on Man, I was Muxley. The 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.720 highest I got up to was three fifteen, So that 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.720 was the highest my first my first six years. I 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.000 was Hooper in a while there, but my last twelves 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.520 in the league, you know, I was pretty much around 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.480 the two eighty round that mark because I had to 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.959 the quick story class eighty five. So you know, you 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.000 guys wrote the refrigerator. Perry he was the original big 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.160 guy to come to the league. I think he might 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.480 have been one of the biggest guys to come in 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.720 the league. Man back in nineteen eighty five. Hey Lomas, 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.280 when you talk about waking up with cold sweats thinking 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.360 about dirty Dan from eighty five, tell you take me 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.040 into the mind of DeAndre Swift and what's going through 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.320 his mind, because you know, I think he was treated 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.960 on fairly at the end of the Bears Detroit game, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.400 because I don't think it's easy to back into an 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.640 end zone with hands flying in front of your face 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.360 and then catch a fireball from Matthew Stafford. I know that. Again. 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.600 I thought he was treated on fairly in Chicago. How 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.439 was he treated in Detroit? Man, I'm telling you, that's 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:55.160 just years of frustration. That's all that is, man. I 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.679 think about it. It's been we got one playoff victory 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.760 since the sixties. Think about that, man, These fans and 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:07.280 you got some passionate layal fans that eat, they live, 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.880 and they die Detroit football. And that's just all that 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.520 frustration coming out. That's all that deals and stuff, you know. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.920 And to be honest with you, how this season has 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.680 gone for the Lions. The best thing for them has 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.880 been COVID because you hadn't had fifty sixty thousand people 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.040 in the stands boring you because of how they played 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:33.400 throughout this year, so you're known. It was unfearing boy, 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.040 and we see that that first game that he had 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.280 the Chiders man, he is a weapon that we could 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.960 just keep him healthy. He could be a weapon for 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.160 Detroit for a lot of years. So it's unfortunate the 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.839 first game of the season things ended the way it 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.760 did for him. But he is gonna be a mainstay 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.760 for the Detroit Lions for a lot of years. All right, 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.920 let's speed up until today. You're talking about a team 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.640 at one end of the spectrum where they have multiple 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.760 offer some lion changes and multiple quarterback changes. Or else 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.680 we go to the Detroit Lions, they have a change 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.440 in the mid season firing of a head coach. So 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.160 you've been around the NFL long enough. What team is 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.679 has the biggest advantage and what team has the biggest 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.760 disadvantage coming into this game. Well, I'm telling you it 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.880 should be you, guys, Chicago, it should be I mean, 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:31.079 I've been watching sim and it's amazing just the struggle 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.800 that you're saying that you've had up from and on 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.400 the office the side of the ball, not only getting 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.240 guys over. So Mitchell Trubisky can have a bigger win 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.280 through to throw the ball to, which would help build 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.160 his confidence. You know, you got some great I love 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.360 Alan Robinson, you know, a hometown guy back here, so 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.120 I and I know I love his mom, Tracy, So 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.400 I love Alan, and to me, he's your best weapon 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.640 over there. But you know, you have to design, I think, 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.040 to get these guys open more. You know the window 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.880 that I've seen that Mitchell's time to throw balls in. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.400 And believe me, so, I mean it's decision making hadn't 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.720 been good either, but he's having a lot of tight 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.560 windows to trying to get the ball into. And when 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.480 you're not really accurate or you're not a very constant 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.600 and guy, you know, that's hard. That's a hard ass. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.960 So I just think maybe the play calling can help 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.040 him a little bit more. At a course, the best 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.480 thing for a quarterback is a running game, So definitely 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.920 got to get that going in time knows that, man, 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:39.600 that's that's the best thing for everybody, offensive lineman, everybody 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.560 when you got a run game going. Other Bears ran 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.480 the ball pretty good against the Lions in the opener 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.040 and squeaking out that way getting out of town. Lomas Brown, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.120 our guest here, on Bears All Access brought to you 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:54.280 by IGS Energy. So I noticed, and we've met and 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.160 been aware of Darryl Bevill when he interviewed for the 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.160 Bears job long ago. He's matured more since, got more 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.840 under his belt, and he seems to be He's talking 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.400 and walking like a head coach. What are they Detroit 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.520 Lions getting with Daryl Beboy as the interim head coach 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.880 after the dismissal of Matt Patricia. You know, I love 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.760 coach Beville. Man, It's just I just love his personality. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.040 And that's what I think they're gonna get. I think 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.880 they're gonna be able to get his personality. You know, 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.840 it's more outgoing this guy. I think it's gonna be 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.600 a free for guy's gonna be able to play freer. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.480 I think he's gonna be able to open it up 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.600 a little bit more. That's the thing. From a defensive 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.720 perspective from Chicago, I would be worried about how the 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.120 Lion's offense is gonna look, you know, because now it's 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.400 as you can say, is no more shockles on coach Beville. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.120 You know, so he could call what he really wants 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.959 to call, So it'll be interesting to see if he 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.600 tried to unleash Matthew Stafford or you know, just how 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.720 the game plan it is gonna be again, um and 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.760 on the defensive side the ball, he says that he 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:08.079 has full trust and Corey Underland, our defensive coordinator. So again, 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.560 I want to see how these guys play. And you know, 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.320 I've been on the team where the coach has been 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.600 dismissed and you know, you could go one way or 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.240 the other way. You know, you could, you could five games. 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.600 Look in the season, these guys can pack it in, 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.080 you know when call themselves getting ready for next season. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.640 But as we know, you have to audition each and 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.600 every week in this league, or they're gonna come out 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.720 and they're going to demonstrate that, you know, that things 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.720 are different, that they're having fun as they say that 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.840 they wanted to have more fun. We're just gonna see. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.320 So I'm kind of with you, guys. I'm I'm curious 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.360 to see what type of team we get out there 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.120 on Sunday ourselves. I'm keenly interested in the availability of 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.320 Kenny Galladay, hasn't played much this season. The Saint Rena 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.080 product here Saint Rita tremendous player. Obviously puts fear in 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.200 the defense what his status and what you're understanding on 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.560 if in fact he has any chance. He has practice 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.320 yet this week, Ryan exactly, and you know that's not 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.920 a good sign, especially with tomorrow being Friday. That's just 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:16.760 not a good sign of you know, Kenny's availability. And 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.520 you know, the deeper it gets into the season, you 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.240 wonder if he's gonna come back at all. You know, 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.240 you don't know the severity of the hip injury, you know, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.000 so you just don't know. So to me, like I say, 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.920 the deeper you get into the season, you're tom five 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.760 games left, you know, the more and more you start 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.680 to think whether he's even going to come back. But 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.120 it should have given by some of our younger guys opportunities. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.080 You quintest cesus. You know, you're Marvin Hall. You know 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.320 t J. Howkinson has had a big year because Kenny 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.240 hadn't been there. Matthew has targeted him a lot. So 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.200 hopefully some of these other guys will being able to 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.000 step up. It hadn't been a lot of productions that 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:57.840 we've been able to get out of the rest of 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.560 the guys, but hopefully you know they're that this is 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.280 the opportunity and hopefully we'll be able to get big 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.120 games out of them. On Sunday. You know you missed 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.480 Danny Shelton. He got hurt this weekend. But you know, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.200 when I was going back and I was looking at 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.120 the flip chart I made for week one, there's more 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.560 names in place in Detroit than there is in Chicago, 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.000 and so it seems like, you know, that's the that's 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.560 the atmosphere that Darryl Bevil needs to work with, is 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.000 the experience has been developed since a lot of these 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.240 guys have been missing games. And you know when he 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.440 made the comment during the week that he wanted to 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.160 bring back more fun to the organization. What was it 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:41.720 an unhappy atmosphere or was the work level getting given 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:46.640 to these guys are in practice? Was it just overboard? Man? Look, 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:53.840 you know me, no way a player in this day 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.840 and age that toil to me and tell me they 0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:00.080 being come on to come on, come on? Is the 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:04.000 old way with what we went through two days practice, 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:08.160 padded up, both days, hidden both man, It's no way. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.359 So now if we're talking a tired from a mental 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:17.520 perspective or from a duration meaning having them in the 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.119 building all day long. I could buy that, I really 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.560 can buy that. Maybe mental fatigue I could buy that, 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.320 But it's no way I could buy physical fatigue with 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.240 how these thugs are being taken care of, and how 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.600 the need and the msl PA just taking care of 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.080 these guys, and how they say they put safety in 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.120 the forefront. So, you know, I'm looking at it from 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.639 a different perspective of maybe maybe you're right, maybe it 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.600 was a mental fatigue. And then you know, a lot 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.280 of times you start feeling the pressure that your coach 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.000 is under, you know, him and Bob Queen, they were 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.240 under a lot of pressure here. Man. Things hadn't worked out, 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.160 and they came in with big expectations, and the more 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.119 things that were got, the more precious though that coming 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.959 down though on coach Patricia and then jim Ball Quinn 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.960 and I have to think that the team had to 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.600 seal some of that, you know. So you know, maybe 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.639 it was a combination of that and maybe the mental fatigue, 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.680 But it couldn't have been a physical fatigue that these 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.880 guys were dealing with it all right, Almost when I 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.200 talk about I think the most important player in Detroit 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.320 is Matthew Stafford. Whenever you hear about a quarterback that 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.480 has a thumb injury, the concern is can he hold 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.320 on the ball tight enough to get the ball out 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.520 of his hands and throw it like we we know 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:40.280 Matthew Stafford being able to throw it. And also is 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:43.280 there any fear that he shows and throwing the ball 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.520 and making sure he doesn't hit the helmets in front 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.800 of him, because I think to a quarterback with the 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.960 thumb problem, that could be a huge issue. Yeah, yeah, 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:56.600 you're right about that. Also, was about under undersind taking 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.280 understand the snaps, you know, I think that had to be. 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:04.080 We watched them closely last week and you could just 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.480 tell he was taking the ball under center a lot 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.359 differently than he was kind of almost protecting that thumb. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.879 So even things like that, even the handoff handed the 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:18.160 ball off, that just has to be uncomfortable, all those 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.680 different things that you do, and that involves your hand 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.160 and I know with the thumb and where the thumb 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.159 is located at, it has to get banged up. So 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.160 you're absolutely right, not a long we're looking at helmets 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:33.680 and all the other things that you have to deal with. Yes, 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.520 so it has to be a concern from Matthew. He's 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.680 been playing it through though. He's so tough. Man. He's 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.160 just such a tough guy, man, no complaints. The guy 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.040 goes out there each and every game. He just beat 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.080 down and he comes back for more. So, you know, 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.920 I was talking to hand a guy like him behind me, man, 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.399 that's what you had one like that, you know. But 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.520 I was trying to have a tough guy like that 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.919 behind me, man, because it makes a world a different 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.000 with your attitude when you go out there on the 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.480 field to take the game. Thomas brought our guest remaining 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.600 moments with the former Lions tackle a great one in 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.400 NFL history and certainly in that Lions organization. And now 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.520 they're a radio analyst. You mentioned Matthew Stafford, Tommy did. 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:21.440 And the first thing that happened after Patricia's dismissal was 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.680 looking at the future of this quarterback with five games 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.400 to go, and if he's being asked questions about whether 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.600 or not he'd be part of that future, what is 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.760 your opinion about that? Well? I do. I like what 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.560 Sheila Hampford said, which was she's going to let the 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.960 next coach make the decision, and I just think that's 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.919 a great football move. I just think that's what you 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:48.359 said you should do. You shouldn't, you know, I you know, 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.320 and Matthews great, believe me. I Like I said, I 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.800 wish I had a quarterback like Matthew Stafford by if 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.960 we either had him back in the eighties, man with 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.960 Barry Sanders and Herman and all the guys we had, 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.240 we'd had a team. Man. So I'm not taking anything 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.800 away from math do, but I just do think that's 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.520 the right decision. If you're gonna bring somebody in new, 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.920 if you're gonna change the culture, if that's what you want, 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:16.800 you know, if you want the direction of the organization 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.040
