WEBVTT - Nagy, Pagano on win over Vikings | Coaches Show 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:03.560 Pleasant, good even everybody, and welcome into another edition of 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.240 the Bears Coaches Show with Bears head coach Mattneggie Jeff 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:08.280 Jonahac with you until eight o'clock tonight. We're brought to 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.960 you by Whippley CPA's and Consultants. Just after seven thirty, 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:16.680 Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano joins the program. Outstanding win, 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:21.680 terrific in every way, and most importantly two words, stay alive. 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.960 And that's what happened here yesterday. Wasn't a man, Yeah, 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.080 it was. It was we had to do that. You know. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.280 We knew that we talked about the most desperate team 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:30.920 and the team that played the fastest would have a 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.239 great chance to win. And I thought our guys did 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.720 that yesterday. And offensively we were able to score a 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.519 lot of points. Defensively, we made opportunistic stops at the 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.240 right time, special teams wise again making those field goals 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.000 or points. That's huge, And in the end came down 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:48.400 to the final play and we got to win. Now, 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.000 the old NFC Central was the Black and Blue Division, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.199 with both teams running the balls as well as they 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.200 did yesterday. It reminded me of that such game and 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.840 a December obviously, no whether when you're indoors, and did 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:01.600 you feel that that was the case it was going 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.120 to be a physical game against the Vikings. Yeah, we 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.360 knew number one that the type of running game that 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.400 they have, and with Dalvin Cook being there and what 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.680 he can do and all the play actions and screens 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.280 that they run. And from our end, you know, as 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.360 you've seen the last couple of weeks, we feel like 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.520 we're really getting our run game back on track, and 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.720 so it could have been one of those games. It 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.840 ended up being that. And for David to get thirty 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.280 two carries, you can see that that's what he can 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.360 do with that, and the offensive line creating some holes 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.840 with the tight ends and it just it opens up 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.400 everything else. All we were mission was the mud and 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.640 the grime and the coal, right right, you'd like playing 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.200 in those games when you're a kid, right, Yeah, that's right. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.120 We just uh, instead of that, we had sixty eighty 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:46.440 three weather on turf. Ten teams have already been eliminated, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.680 so you're one of the twenty two that are not. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.560 And that message must be really resonating from you to 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.520 the team right now. The way you guys are playing 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.520 it is and believe it or not. You know, we 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.480 we started with that message two weeks ago and when 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.640 we had four games left, we talked about we have 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.200 four games left. We can control what we can control, 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.840 and that's that's winning one game at a time. And 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.320 it sounds like a coach cliche, but and it is. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.280 But when you approach it the right way like our 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.760 guys have, and it starts in practice. We've had really 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.800 good practices. They're taking that to the game and now 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.720 you get to see what happens. That was a huge game. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.440 Yesterday's stayed in the obvious, a division game with two 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.360 teams that are fighting for their playoff hopes and their lives, 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.560 and for us to have it come down to the 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.079 final play to get that win to celebrate afterwards, but 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.760 now realize that we've done nothing right. We have won 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.680 two games in a row, but that means that doesn't 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.760 mean anything. So we have a team that we all 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.080 saw with the Jets and the Rams what happened yesterday, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:42.959 that is going to come in here and try to 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.840 do everything they can to knock us off. So we 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.919 got to be prepared and we got to understand what 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.120 we're getting into what has this offensive line as it's 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.880 right now constructed unlocked for this offense, just the ability 0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.400 to keep the defense guessing and so you can't become 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.480 one dimensional when you're able to get the run game 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.919 going and then you work off the run game with 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.280 the bootlegs and the play actions. It's hard for linebackers, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.680 it's hard for safety is it's hard for the d lineman. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.200 It just makes them have to guess a little bit, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.760 which means that you have a tick longer to get 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.680 open on a route, which means you have you might 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.760 have just a foot wider hole because they're not in 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.799 the right gap. And then it's it's our job right 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:27.960 when we're scheming throughout the week, is to make sure 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.560 that stuff fits. It looks the same, but it's different, 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.240 and that's where we're at. Take us back to the idea. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.960 When you guys are collaborating your coaches and working with 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.200 one about the conversations presented to you, the options, the 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.600 ideas of trying to get that offensive line which was 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.320 beset with injuries and whatnot. Did you ever say, oh, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.960 I don't know, I don't know if that's gonna work. 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.880 And where was the belief in some of these guys 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.520 because some were a little bit of projection obviously, because 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.240 you really didn't know these guys. Sam must have for 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.200 one of them obviously, and he's turned out to be 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.320 maybe the most important move of the year. Yeah. Yeah, No, 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.320 I think that there's there's moving parts throughout the season 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.400 for for you schematically, there's moving parts throughout the season 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.120 for you with personnel, and sometimes things happen for a reason. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.000 And for us, we had an idea and feeling in 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.320 the week of practice heading into the Rams game, even 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.600 though we didn't play well offensively. When you're speaking to 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.159 Sam Mustafer, you could kind of see a really neat 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.560 leadership of him in practice. He unfortunately got hurt and 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.279 was out a few weeks. But UM's he's really taken 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.599 this new role as starting role, and he's a he's 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.960 just a leader and guy's feed off of that. There's 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.360 a different mindset right now with that offensive line, and 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.080 Alex Barr is the same thing. And in between Leno 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.040 and Cody you have worked together for a while and 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.440 the Fettie coming in here this year. It's a it's 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.080 a it's a combination that's really working. And Um then 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:57.240 with what Juan is doing with these guys and Donovan Reola. Um, 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.720 they're working well. There's communication and it's just working on 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.000 it's working its way into every other position, and guys 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.920 are just making plays. Was there a gut feeling you 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.320 had to believe in this five when it was presented 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.400 to you. That feeling comes when you start seeing what 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.480 goes on in practice, just the simplicities and when a 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.440 play is called, and the mentality of a guy like 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.000 Sam Mustafer at center and how he handles that huddle. Um, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.800 there's extreme focus from him. So every single play looks 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.200 over to the sticks and practice and gives it down 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.120 a distance. Every single play never misses it gets up 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.119 to the line of scrimmage. The tempo is great, points 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.760 out the mic linebacker whether it's a run or pass, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.960 always hustling and finishing. And these guys are all doing it, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.200 you know, they're all doing it. And and but Sam 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.520 coming in here just giving us that spark. Like you said, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.560 it ends up being a big time move and it 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.279 just sometimes that's what you need. And uh, that's that's 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.240 where we're at. And these guys are feeding off of it, 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.240 and you feel it. You come to practice, you feel it. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.520 And with Montgomery one of the hard as he finished 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.360 all of his runs yesterday. I watched it three times 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.000 already just because I loved it. I just loved the 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.160 finish of the runs. Uh, he's getting small when he 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.800 needs to, he's bursting when he needs to. And those 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.080 guys up front, you can tell. You can tell they 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.080 love blocking form because they're being nasty. They're planting guys bars, 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.840 planting a guy Cody. I mean, there's just a lot 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.320 of physicality right now. There is. And you know, we 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.000 were in the locker room afterwards, Jeff and right away 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.960 in the celebration and Cole Comeet came up to me 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.120 and like punched me in my chest like he always doesn't, 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.840 and he said, uh, you know, he said one yard off, 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.520 one yard off? And said, what are you talking about? 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.479 He said, we're at one ninety nine. We predicted all 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.920 week we're going to run for two hundred and Uh. 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.520 You know, So you have guys that when they're talking 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.840 about that and they're setting goals when you don't even 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.360 know that as a coach that they're they're creating their 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.880 own goals or what they want to do. And then 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.640 when you make that you reach that goal essentially that 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.719 that's what's neat is you just have a These guys 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.120 are smiling out there, they're having fun. Look at him there. 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.040 I mean, go watch Mustafer on that touchdown run that 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.840 David has from fourteen yards out Watch how excited he is. 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.200 And watched the smiles on these guys faces and the 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.800 muscles are flex and then just they're having fun. Snap 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.960 Trabis kick stand the handoff right opening from Mountcovery ten 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:22.120 five hue with a couple of piggyback rides. Hello the Way, 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:27.080 touchdown Bears David Montgomery. A two touchdown day now five 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.560 in the month of December from Montgomery, something only a 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.800 couple of Bears in history have accomplished, including Gayle Sayers. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.520 Welcome back to the Bears Coaches Show, brought to you 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.520 by Whippley CPAs and Consultants, a proud partner of the 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.360 Chicago Bears. Learn more at Whippley dot com. Jeff Joniac 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.240 and Matt Naggy so eight forced misstackles. According to Pro 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.720 Football Focus by Montgomery, nine runs resulted in first downs 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.560 and this is a big stat Doug Colletti statistician has 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.480 been doing it for thirty five years with us, and 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.520 he feels in winning football ten rushing first sounds is 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.360 a big deal. Yet thirteen yesterday the last time you 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.760 played the Vikings in week ten one, Yeah, yeah, you 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.320 feel that, and you know you go into that touchdown 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.240 run that David had and just the look you literally 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.480 you can stop the play and realize what this offensive 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.920 line did at the line of scrimmage. It totally changed it. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.440 What these tight ends did, what the wide receivers did. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.160 And then it comes down to if you remember David's 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.200 first touchdown run last week for eighty yards, comes down 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:32.920 to a safety having to make a play one on 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.079 one with the back and forty one came down and 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.000 tried to make an arm tackle. It didn't work. You're 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.319 not going to do that to thirty two and he 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:39.760 took he carried the rest of the guys in the 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.840 end zone. It's those are fun being and IOWA stayed there. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.400 I know the entire history of David Montgomery and followed 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.199 him closely all his years there and listening to Matt Campbell, 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.719 and it's probably a part of the big reason you 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.319 guys drafted him was what he did for the culture 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.760 at that school. And look where they're at now, a 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.000 top ten team in the nation, and he gets a 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.840 lot of credit for starting that process. So the leadership 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:08.360 aspect of him, despite being early in his career, you 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.280 have clearly underscored here as a significant development here in 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.079 the second half of this season. What things are is 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.640 he doing that reflect leadership? Oh, I would say this, 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.440 here's what I would say. So last year's rookie year, 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.199 you know, there were some challenges and frustration because I 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.040 think he thought, and he's admitted to me, you know, 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.240 you're going to come in here and all of a 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.079 sudden be just like you were in college, and it's 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.120 not always that that easy. And so we talked about 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.920 this thing being a marathon and one of these days 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.600 it's going to click. And you're seeing that right now, 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.600 and he's feeling that he deserves that because never once 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.040 did he ever complain about, you know, not getting enough 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.240 carries or frustrated because of this, or that he just 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.959 wants to win. And now you take that combine it 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.600 with the way he practices Jeffie. I mean, every single 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.560 play we have to wait for him to run back 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.360 because he always finishes to the goal line, and you know, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.079 it's worth the weight because now what you're seeing is 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.800 a guy that finishes, and other players see that, and 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.240 here he is with a guy that just practices so hard. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.880 They see that. Now they want to practice just as hard, right, 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.959 they have that accountability to do that. And so he 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.360 deserves everything that he's getting right now because he is 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.000 a selfless individual that only cares about winning. But now 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.439 he's getting a lot of credit because he's doing so 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.880 many good things. But he'll be the first to tell 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.520 you it's because of the big old line and tight 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.760 ends and wide receivers and everybody else but him, and 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.760 that's just who he is. I found it interesting. I 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.760 read some of Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated you guys 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.080 spoke after the game, evidently wrote a story on Mitchell Trubisky, 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.079 and a couple of things stick out. One You called 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.920 him a satisfier, so a lot of people in his 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.719 ear over the years on how to lead, how to 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.120 be successful. I'm assuming that's people inside and outside the building, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.680 and that you told him at one point after making 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.120 the decision to go to Nick, it could wind up 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.120 being one of the greatest things that's ever happened. You 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.880 can you delve into that a little more when I 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.640 when I say that, and you know, and I've told 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.480 Mitchell this is sometimes for all of us, no matter 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.480 how old we are, things happen in our lives where 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.520 you just say, why, why in the heck is this 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.000 happening to me right now? Like you know, I've done 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.760 this or I've done that. I don't deserve this. I 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:25.199 don't deserve that. And it can be really frustrating, upset, 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.000 it can make you mad. And then people take it 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.240 two ways. They can either be negative or they can 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.800 be positive. It's really not that hard, and you either 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.679 choose one or you choose the other, and then you learn. 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.520 And well, what he's done is he's taken the positive route, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.760 and now whenever that opportunity would come, be ready for it, 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.080 be prepared for it. And that's what's happened with him. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.480 In my opinion, I think that when this all went down, 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.880 it really kind of reset and reshifted, and it allowed 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.480 him to step back and realize where he's at, and 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.920 he instead of being negative about it and just falling off, 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.040 you know, the just fallen off and fallen away from 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.400 everybody and everything, he went the other way. And he 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.520 said darned. If I ever get an opportunity again, I'm 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.000 gonna come here and I'm gonna do it this way. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.920 And the way he's doing it right now is really 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.000 really good. And there's other people around that are helping 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:21.000 out and it's but again, regardless of where his future 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:26.199 is and his career right all that stuff, regardless of that, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.199 he has turned this into a really good story and 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.319 it's a credit to him. And so I just go 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.120 back to that day. It's hard. That was a hard 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.520 conversation for me. It was a hard conversation for him. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.319 But credit to him for handling this thing the right way. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.920 And now he's just going day by day and he's 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.560 in a great place.

Final segment with Coach 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.959 here on The Bears Coaches Show with Chuck Bugatto coming 0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.840 up at the bottom of the hour. Here, all right, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.760 let's try to do some quick hitters. So I had 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.760 a three point stance after the game is a revival irrelevance, 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.760 So that's big, and it should be resilience because you 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.600 played the first six games of the year that way, 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.760 you fought through the storm, and now you're playing that 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:18.160 way again, resilient. The clutch touch, fourth down conversion stops 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.120 by the Bears defense guys like John Jenkins, Paul al Nichols, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.240 Brent Urban, all those guys up front, along with the 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.000 key Hicks making those things happen. The significance of that, 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.000 and then I called it a family affair because you 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.280 talk about family, you talk about love. How these guys 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.800 are playing together and for the next man, for the 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.480 man next to them, and all these little contributions. We 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.360 could list so many that made a difference. Even the 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.560 Alan Robinson catch where he didn't go out of bounds 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.559 in the fourth quarter. It didn't result in a drive 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.560 for points. Mitch's throw was intercepted, but it showed up 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.600 clock on the back end of the game. It would 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.960 have made a difference potentially with the vikings. So those 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.960 things have a domino effect. Am I on the right 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.040 track with all those points here? Absolutely? No, for sure, 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.079 those are the type of those are the types of 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.400 plays that you just talked about that will show on Tuesday. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.480 To the team because sometimes they don't show up in 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.959 the paper, but they do show up with us and 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.160 through our position coaches when we see stuff like that. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.800 I'll give you another one too. And this is one 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.360 that I thought you see so many times, is that 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.880 last play of the game. If you go back and 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.160 watch that, that hell mary that they had, there's a 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.400 lot of inside linebackers and that point in time that 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.160 when they're running with a full steam ahead, they're gonna 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.200 go ahead and just fly at the quarterback and hit 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.600 him as hard as they can, and then typically what 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.040 happens is you get a rough in the passer and 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.920 an extra play fifteen yards closer. You go back and 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.760 watch that, and you'll see Roquan did everything that he 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.920 possibly could do to affect Kirk to where he does 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.200 it without hitting him and getting that penalty. And I 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.440 told him on the plane last ninth that's a that's 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.640 a small thing right there. That is a big deal 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.520 that allowed us to not give them another play. And 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.520 we had a bunch of those throughout the Brent Urban 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.960 did the same thing, same thing on that fourth down. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.520 As we brought it up on the broadcast, I thought 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:13.000 that was because you're right, I dare say, of the time, 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.400 it's gone hit him, hit him and hit him hard, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.280 drive him. That's just the mindset of a defensive player. Yeah, 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.640 it's how they're wired, you know. And and so it 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.040 just goes to show the football IQ that Roquan had, 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.360 the football IQ the herbs had on that and um, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.920 like you said, with Alan Robinson staying in bounds and 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.000 chewing up another forty seconds in a crucial time. Um. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.240 You know, even with Mitchell on the third down run 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.680 where the defensive end shot the gap and made a 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.800 tough block for Cole Mitchell instead of losing three yards 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.400 and running backwards because he very easily could have because 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.000 the design of the play was to go outside the tackle, 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.920 he cut it up inside and just he did not 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.160 make a bad play worse. Those are the little things 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.440 that help you with that field goal, Mitch's interception, We 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.600 just want to touch out one thing about it. Okay, 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.800 So maybe you make a handful of those over your career, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.600 but you start to shrink them over time in the 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.960 same situation. Do you think that happens with a quarterback? Yeah, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.600 you will. You learn through experience. Now I will say this, 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.400 his decision was right. The throw just it just the 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.000 ball got You can see after he threw it, he 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.200 kind of jumped in the air because he knew. It's 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.920 like when you you know, you just know it. And 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.040 the second he released the ball he knew it was 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.360 off a little bit. He jumped because he just he 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.160 had a few and then the corner made a good play. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.320 But yeah, the more of those that you have h situationally, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.200 you want to be able to shrink those and reduce 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.800 those so that you know, in those situations you're you're 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.640 throwing a touchdown pass, you know. But he's doing that 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.680 right now. And that's that's the that's the good thing 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.560 about where we're at all. Right, Pro Bowl voting in 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.600 you got a couple of starters, Coldel mac outside linebacker, 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.560 Couldel Patterson no question in the kick return game. Yeah, 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.800 happy for those guys. And again, uh, you know, it's 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.120 it's always very difficult. There's so many guys that are 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.880 noteworthy of different positions, and those two guys right there, 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.240 I think it stayed in the obvious. They they really 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.239 help us out. And you know, if it was up 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.960 to up to me or up to a lot of 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.959 our coaches, there'll be a lot more on that list too, 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:11.480 but it is what it is, and I'm proud of 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.800 those guys that they did. They're well deserved for that. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.840 Don't know the Jaguars that great yet starting to do 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:18.399 any of that, but we do know they have the 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.639 Rockford running back James Robinson, who's had a heck of 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.280 a rookie year. Yeah, no doubt. And again they've been 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.359 in games this year now and they play hard. And 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.040 I go back and you talk about the Vikings game 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.040 they played. It came down to the last second field goal. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.040 A few weeks prior to that they had they gave 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.760 Green Bay everything they wanted. So they're you know, they're 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.600 right there and and our guys, trust me, we will 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.960 know that. We will be very aware of that and 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.120 we're going to have a great week of practice mentally, physically, 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.800 and uh. And now it's just about going out there. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.120 And of those four games that we had left trying 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.920 to get number three, yeah, they had six one score losses. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.880 They beat the Colts in the opener and have lost 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.120 thirteen in a row. Oh so much more to talk 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.400 about after a great win like this and a lot 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.680 of optimism, but we're out of time. So it's not 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.200 a check Pagano, Mac, Congratulations, have a great Christmas week. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.040 I know it's it's work. It's work, but there's a 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.320 little family in there too, and Merry Christmas to your family. 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.840 Thanks chef, all the best to you two. May marry Christmas. 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.640 Give it a Dalvin Cook. He stood up pit stop wall. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.960 They stop him hot fourth an itches the front wall 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.480 unpenetratable and the Bears are gonna takeover and downs deep 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.000 in the Vikings territory back on the Bears Coaches Show. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.080 But check Pagano brought to you by Whippley CPAs and 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.160 consuls one of two fourth downs stops by the guys 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.280 up front. Those were exhilarating moments in the game and 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:38.960 must have huge, huge plays obviously, and to be able. 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.160 We consider those turnovers, you know, they're not they don't 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.960 go in as takeaways you know on the stat sheet, 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.520 but anytime you can turn the ball over and downs 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.040 like that, we put it in that category. And our 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.159 goal is always to get you know, three score on 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.480 defense all that stuff. But those were those were monster 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.639 plays and the guys did a great job of execute 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.879 and we got you know, great push in the middle 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.000 and you know. The last one, the boot pass, I 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:08.320 mean was just I mean incredible. You know, Bigger got 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.560 pressure on the quarterback. Clil was actually in coverage on 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.360 that and did a great job of covering that guy. 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.119 And it seemed like that ball hung in the air forever. 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.240 We're all sitting there on the sideline just waiting for 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.600
