Offensive coordinator Mark 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.760 Helfrich will join the program at the bottom of the hour. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.120 As we look ahead to the Green Bay Packers, look 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.880 back a little bit at what the Bears did to 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.240 beat Dallas and go to seven and six and outstanding, 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.720 a fun environment Matt at Soldier Field on that Thursday 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.920 night and by far the best feeling we've had all season. Yeah, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.880 it was a great one for us, for everybody, you know, 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.560 it was a fun one to be a part of. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.679 And it was great for our our team, our city, 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.360 our fans, everybody. Um, it's it's what we've been looking for, 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.360 you know, all year long. And to get it on 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.960 that stage and put put a few weeks together here 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.720 has been good. I ask you this when things are 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.920 going well and sometimes when we don't win a game. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.920 But the way you called that game, was it in 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.200 your wheelhouse? Yeah? Well, it always is when you produce 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.400 and execute and get stay ahead of the chains. You know. 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.440 That's one of the things that I thought we did. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.880 Even on that first drive when we ended with the interception, 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.840 we didn't have a third down on that drive, and um, 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.480 you know, that's just a credit to our players for 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.280 for for doing that. And it was one of those 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.080 games where things we're just going well for us, and 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.560 then guys were making plays and you love seeing that. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.680 We were able to do it for for four quarters 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.600 and and and really all three phases. So to come 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.600 out of there with a win, it felt great. But 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.160 before you know it, here we are getting right for 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.800 green Bag. You know, it's easy to look at Mitche's 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.160 performance and say, Okay, this was a one game deal 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.880 this season, but it's the last five games there's just 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.920 been this I don't know, I don't want to say maturation, 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.720 but maybe that's the word you want to use, but triggering, quicker, 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.480 thinking differently, approaching the game in a little different way 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.760 on Sundays or on Thursday in this case, would you agree? Yeah? 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.880 And you know what, Jeff, I also think that it 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.200 happens a lot with a lot of different UM teams 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.880 and maybe offenses throughout the year. There, you know, y'all 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.880 go through some some some of it are on the 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.880 front end. You start out really fast and then there's 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.320 these these valleys that you go into and others you 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.240 start out slow and then you hit your highs later 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.360 in the year. So ours just happened to be you know, um, 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.000 you know that first half of the season and it 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:50.799 was a it was a battle. But now I do 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.679 feel like, like you said, the last five weeks have 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.519 felt a lot better offensively, and it's been one of 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.840 those deals where the offense is able to help out 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.200 the defense more and it's more of a team effort 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.639 rather than just the defense trying to keep a team 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.880 the under twenty points every week. So it's a good feeling. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.639 Are our guys are mentally tough, which is one of 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.440 the biggest things when you come through something like this. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:13.799 And now we'll just have to see what we do 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.760 here the next three weeks, and everybody on offense is 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.400 helping him out now too. It is it's it's and again, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.679 just like we always talk about the quarterbacks going to 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.799 get a lot of the credit when you win, and 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.360 he's also going to get a lot of the blame 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.320 when you lose. But all in all, I think our 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.240 offense understands that right now we're executing at a much 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.120 higher percentage with these plays which are producing in positive yards, 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.240 eliminating third and longs, and putting more points on the board. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.400 So when all that works together in unison, it helps 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.200 you out. Even for myself as a play caller, the 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.880 confidence for all of us in practice, it's you know, 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.640 the guys have continued to stay focused each and every week, 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.480 and it's nice when you're rewarded with wins. I don't 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.680 know what you want in a perfect world offense in 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.160 terms of the passing game. Do you want, as you say, 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.720 the run after catch or I say yards after the catch, 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.440 or do you want big catch of the catch point? 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.520 So I saw some statistics this week, the lowest amount 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.320 of catches at the point, highest number of yards after 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.960 the catch. Is it game by game or what do 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.200 you prefer in the bigger picture? What do you prefer? 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.640 I would say it's it is game by game. Um, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.920 you need to be able to stretch the defense downfield 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.920 vertically so that they can't just sit on everything. If 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.480 they are going to sit on stuff, then you need 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.120 you need to try to, you know, take advantage with 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.520 some double moves here or there. But um, you know, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.240 and you got to get that run game going. So 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.640 I think the nice part about this offense that you're 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.080 starting to see and you saw some of this last year, 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.080 is when you do get into some of the RPO stuff. Um, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.560 you know, just like the touchdown to Anthony Miller had 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.720 on the on the bubble screen out there. Uh, you know, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.719 it can put you in good situations, but there's execution involved, 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.960 and there's two wide receivers, um Cordaro and Riley. Ridley 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.880 made two great blocks. Um you know, Mitch made a 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.080 great throw and seventeen made a great run after the catch. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.600 So it just it stretches a defense horizontally and not 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.280 always vertically and so that balance of width and depth 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.160 and field uh, and then making plays when giving a 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.440 chance um is really what ultimately what we're looking for 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.479 my thunder because Miller, I want to save that player. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.120 We're gonna run that highlight will come out of a 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.800 break as one of my favorite plays of the year. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.240 And its simplicity, but it's execution and the desire. We'll 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.600 talk more about that, all right, let's get caught up 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.800 on what's what's going on right now. So he had 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.800 a little mini buy weekend, so to speak. He brought 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.640 them guys in this morning and what did you guys do? 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.840 And how is everybody looking around? Yeah? No, you know 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.280 what it was. It was really good for us to 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:47.279 have a few days off players end, coaches, players physically, coaches, mentally. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.320 We went for we had a nice little stretch there 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.760 of three three games and eleven days. And when you 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.480 go from a Thursday Thanksgiving game to a Thursday night 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.800 the next week, there's really no rest. And so our 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.600 weekend was it was nice to have a normal weekend 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.400 and have a few extra days. And now our guys 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.880 came in this morning and we really focused in on 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.000 a mental day. You know, get a little headstart on 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.560 on Green Bay kind of where they're at, and and 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.320 um put to bed basically the Dallas game and guys 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.839 get a lift in and coaches are grinding on Green 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.680 Bay stuff, all right. News that Roquan Smith's head to 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.719 die are the pectoral and that seemed to be kind 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.200 of the course of action. So you know, that's a 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.800 bummer because I was loving the way he played. His 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.960 energy was at a high pitch at the moment, you know, 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.800 And now that's a bummer right there. Yeah, it is. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.320 And you always hate to see guys get injured, especially 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.800 especially these longer ones where they take a little bit 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.440 more time. But um, you know, Roquan will be fine. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.800 He'll pull he'll pull through this. We'll get them, get 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.240 them back on track. And I think we all know 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.640 kind of what we have with him, and we know 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.480 what the future holds with him. We're very lucky to 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.560 have him. He's he's he's been everything and more from 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.240 what we've expected and seen. And he starts like hill, 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.480 no doubt about it. He's a guy that each and 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.560 every week one of those guys that these offenses have 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.320 to prepare for. And so the obvious question is Is 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.200 there a potential that it could linger into next season 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.120 at all, even in the offseason program. Is that that 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.200 kind of injury. I'm sure it's a little premature to 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.200 talk about. Yeah, it's probably just a little bit early 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.119 on that. But I know the type of workout warrior 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:19.440 that he is, and I know what we have with 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.760 our strength staff. They'll be getting him ready and so 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.760 the biggest thing for him will just be to really 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.160 take it day by day, week by week, and we'll see. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.040 But I feel confident he'll be ready to rock and 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.960 roll by next year. We'll know more Wednesday and guys, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.520 But it's like the big tease everybody wants to see 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.320 a Keen Hicks back. It's you know, he's starting to 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.960 practice or whatever, and he's at that three week window, 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:43.520 But do you feel hopeful? I do. I feel hopeful 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.520 about it, But again, it's it's hard to until we 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.360 go through the week and we see where he's at. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.680 I do. You know, it's to be able to know 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:51.640 that you have the possibility of having him come back. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.280 He's such an interval part of that defense and in 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.120 so many different ways, So you know, we'll keep our 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.480 fingers crossed for him and see where this week takes us. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.880 The Bears Coaches Show with head coach Matt Naggie and 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.960 w bbm's Jeff Joniac continues bunch set right single to 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.880 the laft province, snap out of the gun Trubisky to 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.360 keep them up to the fifteen insight cutting the ten 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:23.440 five hands up touchdown Bears Mitchell Trubisky with six more. 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.239 The Bears explode to a thirty to fourteen lead, twenty 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.000 three yards right down Michigan Avenue. Baby, Welcome back to 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.880 the Bears Coaches Show, brought to you by Whippley Financial Advisors, 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.679 a proud partner of the Chicago Bears. Jeff Joniac and 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.680 Mad Naggie with you and Mark Helfretz coming up at 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.840 the bottom of the hour. You heard the Mitchell Trubisky 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.600 touchdown run. I was losing my mind. It just opened 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.520 up beautifully, and he just loves seeing that. It's just 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.880 he's not Lamar Jackson. Few are. But when you see 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.400 a quarterback pick those yards up and get that out 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.040 that that happened to be right. I don't know if 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.960 you know this, but as the longest touchdown run by 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.160 a Bears quarterback since Jim Harba nineteen eighty six. Is 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.120 that right? Wow? Against Tampa he went twenty six years 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.000 Mitch went twenty three. Yeah, that that was a pretty 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.000 cool run to watch. And you see, you know a 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.400 lot of times as as we're telling him, you know, 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.880 be smart, don't take that extra hit. And so when 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.880 he pulled the football, uh, you know, Charles Leno made 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.720 a made a hell of a block and and Mitch 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.280 was able to kick it up in there. And I 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.120 think most of us probably thought that he was about 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.240 ready to get down, and probably even the safety thought that. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.880 But Mitch made Yeah, he just made that little plan 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.880 he did. He went, he stuck it in the ground, 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.480 in the ground north and south, protected to football, and 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.400 then you could see all the emotions come out after 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.440 he scored. We could talk about this. Two were blew 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:40.079 in the face about Okay, why he wasn't leaving the 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.080 pocket as much earlier this season or what the There's 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.160 a lot to that, But the fact is, does it 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.319 give him confidence as a quarterback to have those opportunities 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.200 a handful of times a game? Yeah, yeah for sure? 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.319 And why and and well what it does is you 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.439 when you when you're a quarterback that can run with 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.439 the football. You become a in essence, another running back 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.400 that the defense has to know and they have to 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.280 account for it. And really it's like it's like having 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.440 an extra blocker in one way or another, just by 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.000 by saying, hey, listen, you want to go ahead and 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.920 take away this guy, then we're going to come back 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:15.800 and use this. Not all teams can do that. We 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.959 have that and Mitch so being able to have some 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.959 runs where he's able to, you know, get extra yards 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.000 because they're not accounting for him, is going to be 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.040 used to our advantage. And you know we we have 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.720 had those this year. There have been some For whatever reason, 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.719 it didn't happen as much, but but now it is 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.720 and we're all seeing to come to fruition. It's helping 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.360 us out and the confidence is really high. A sneak 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.079 peek at the Packers because they am not allowed a 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.559 lot in that regard just one hundred and four rushing 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.120 yards by quarterbacks and they faced Carson Wentz and they 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.280 faced Daniel Jones and whatnot. Is it something that they 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.360 do or something you're going to be aware of what 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.160 they're doing to maybe not run into that problem. Yeah, 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.760 schematically they do a good job at that. And again, 0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.439 you know, our our game against Dallas was a game 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.600 there where we saw some things and he was making 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.319 great decisions. And not every you know, not every game 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:06.959 is going to be like that. We knew this for 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.760 the Dallas game that it was a probability. Yeah, so 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.160 we'll just you know, we'll see how it goes. And 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.760 maybe it's through the air of this game. We really 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.680 don't know. But we want to be able to schematically 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.679 do whatever helps us as much as possible and then 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.079 let Mitch make plays. And but it's certainly a huge 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.040 advantage for him. I want to talk a lot about 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.839 Mitch because you were miked up this weekend and we 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.319 played it on the Bears Game Night Live show Sunday night. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:34.600 It was outstanding. It really takes you behind the curtain 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.800 of what your relationship is like with Mitch and how 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.480 he feels about you. And I saw this last week 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.080 when Mitch was miked up. This is you guy, It's 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.880 it's a unique to me, it looks like a unique relationship. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.679 Can you take us in that a little bit deeper? Well, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.160 it is, and you know, as as everybody can understand, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.400 you know, we're all together for a lot of a 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.240 lot of hours over the course of the past couple 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.760 of years, and not just myself. I mean that they're 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.240 you know, you saw some of that from from me 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.720 and time throughout the game with some of the players, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:09.080 but um, you know, the relationship, there's just so many 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:14.640 discussions and conversations um that are very authentic, honest, open um. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.520 Not always easy between us, and not just myself, but 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.439 with with David, going with Mark Helfrich, with the other quarterbacks, 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.240 with Mitch, and that's how you all build these relationships, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.040 and that's that's the trust. The T word is building 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:30.959 trust so that when you're in the element, when you're 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.280 in in that environment of being able to have to 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.400 make decisions in a short brief time. Um, he trust 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.520 me as a play caller, I trust him as a player. 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.600 We all trust each other and it's a pretty cool dynamic. 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.520 And you were able, you know, some were able to 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.200 see some of that, and I'm sure they edited out 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:48.959 a lot of other stuff as well. But I like 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.959 getting down the refereence. That's a terrible call, and you 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.839 missed the face masks. They missed three face masks. I'm 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.240 a little too fiery, so I got to pull back 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:03.120 a little bit that emotion. I loved that you said 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:08.000 to Cody Whiter lead was just one word lead. Why Well, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.839 that's where it all starts. And the one thing that 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.559 we're all seeing in some of this execution that's going 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.959 down in the last several weeks is you're we're really 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.440 seeing a change. That's the line of scrimmage. You're feeling 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.120 that things are happening on the other side, and so 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.880 we're covering guys up we're sticking on our blocks, we're 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.560 pass protecting, and what's happening is it's a domino effect 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.000 to where now a guy like David Montgomery Tarik Cohen 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.760 are getting you know, four to five, six seven yards 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.319 on a carry instead of one, two or three, and 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.280 that goes into that first down deal where we want 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:40.679 to make sure we stay ahead of the stick. So 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.840 those guys up front, they don't say a whole lot, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.520 you know, they don't get a lot of glory, they 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.480 don't get a lot of praise when things aren't going well. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.360 They get a lot of it falls back on them. 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.480 But they understand my relationship with them and how much 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.959 it means to me when they play well like that. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.640 They don't get a lot of credit, but they deserve 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.199 a lot of credit. Well, take a look at the 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.280 Green Bay Packer and more coming up in our final 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:06.320 segment with Coach Now no more of the Bears Coaches 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.320 Show with head Coach Matt Maggie on News Where Too 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.400 seven eighty and one oh five point nine FM WBBM 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.559 Snap Trubisky outlet past the Miller right side hits the 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.680 guest of the five spend to the ends up touchdown 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:26.720 touchdown Bears and the latest twenty three seven Trubisky's third 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.400 touchdown pro fourteen yards and Miller well this first touchdown 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.800 of the year. You can help deserving families by donating 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.040 a gently used winter coach to the Chicago Bears jewel 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.800 Osco Coach Drive at the participating jewel Asco locations now 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.560 through February twenty eighth. Donations benefit the Salvation Army. There's 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.520 the Miller touchdown and for him it's his first of 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.920 the season. He had seven last year. It's been a 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.280 process this year. But you know, for a guy that 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.320 is as emotional as him, the way he finished at 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.040 what it just means to see a guy able to 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.200 make good on what his all really is. Yeah, it's 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.720 it's it's really neat. And Anthony's a guy, you just 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.120 he's a ball of fire and you just you absolutely 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.480 love that. I love the energy. I love it. It does, 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.800 it does. But that's okay. You know, we're we're okay 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.240 with that as long as you don't cross the line. 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:14.880 And there's been one or two times this year where 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.080 we've had to make sure that he understands, listen, you 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.040 can't do that, and he knows that. He's a guy 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.160 that usually doesn't make the same mistake twice. But on 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.160 the field, as a football player, when you get the 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.080 ball in his hands, he can make a lot of 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.520 things happen. And he's growing in a lot of different 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.200 ways as a receiver. He's understanding too that even when 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.600 he's not catching that touchdown pass and he needs to 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.840 make a block for somebody else, he's doing and he's 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.320 he's enjoying doing that. Um So, but that that play 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.640 was was a fun one for us especially. You know, 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.240 it's it's it's a it's just a nice simple throw 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.600 to the flat where guys are just making plays and 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.760 then he's able to cut up in there. No one 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.360 was going to stop him from getting in that end 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.240 zone and it produced six points for us. One more 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.200 thing I mentioned that would talk defense in the Packers. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.880 I don't know if you realize this, but after interception 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.080 the last two games, he's thirty of thirty eight for 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.720 three hundred eighty yards, five touchdown passes, a passing rushing 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:10.479 touchdown obviously, and ten yards of completion. Those are significant 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.480 numbers after a play that you wish you wouldn't have thrown. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.360 Why is that significant, Well, it's it's it's it's a 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.000 it's a credit to him and his growth mentally. Um 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.400 I think even years past it might have affected him 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.760 to the sideline and then carried out to the next 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.000 play in next series. Couldn't get it out, couldn't get 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.360 it out of his head. That hasn't been the case. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.600 And you just said that with the numbers he's producing. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.040 You go back to the Detroit game on Thanksgiving. You know, 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.960 through the interception, went six for six right after that. So, um, 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.160 I just think there's a lot of mental growth there. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.360 There's a lot of trust from his teammates to him, 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.920 from him to his teammates, and a matter of fact, 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.440 when he threw that interception, you know he knew it 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.800 was it wasn't a great decision. He knew it wasn't 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.480 a great throw, but he couldn't he couldn't actually wait 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.880 to get back out because we were moving the ball 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.840 right down the field. So does that help you? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.440 and how you can call the game. Sure, And it 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.200 comes down to again you talk about trust to trust 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.440 with players and players right quarterbacks, wide receivers, etc. It's 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.440 the same thing that goes with a play caller and 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.520 a quarterback. And we've we've really been been growing our 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.119 own since half you know, halfway through the season on. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.600 It's been getting a lot better. And so you know, uh, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.680 interception for him, he has to come back, make throws, 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.639 a fumble for David Montgomery has to come back and 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.960 carry the rock or carry the ball. And so I 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.600 think it just, uh, it's it's reciprocated between all of us. J. P. Holtz, 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.399 Jesper Horstead, Kevin Pierre Lewis, Kevin Tolliver. Whatever guy is 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.440 being shoved into the mix is responding. I say, hip 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.280 hip parade for them, but the coaches who get them 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.800 ready have to also get the praise here. Yeah, same 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.440 thing goes with the two offensive linement with Cornelius Lucas 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.879 and Rushad Coward. I mean, and then for the change 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.919 and flip that we made with Cody and James Daniels 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.720 in the middle of the year. So with with Harry 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.520 he standing there on the other line, I mean, the 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.600 coach is making sure that your guys are prepared is hard. 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:09.960 Is hard to do all the time because you're so 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.920 focused in on the starters and and but that's so 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.600 just the culture that we have, the coordinators, everybody doing 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.080 their part so that when these injuries do come up, 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.800 we're able to rock and roll. And that's what you've seen. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.680 I don't want to move past Tyliver too much, but 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.760 you need him to play. I mean, that's a growth 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.240 player at a key position. Yeah, another another guy that 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.680 comes in here and against one of the top offenses 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.639 in the NFL and an unbelievable wide receiver and Cooper. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.440 So you're gonna be challenged. But these guys want that, 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.040 they enjoy it, they look forward to it. It was 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.000 a great opportunity for him Week one to week fifteen. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.960 What's the difference in the Green Bay Packers the record? 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.000 You know, there are a lot there and where they're 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.080 at there, they're they're winning a lot of games. They 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.760 have that quarterback that's pretty good, and we know that. 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:54.840 But at the same time, we have a lot of 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.680 confidence in our guys, and you know, we understand that 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.400 it wasn't the game that we wanted to play week one. 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:02.880 And then the same goes for them too, So we're 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.119
