Speaker 1: And a pleasant good evening, A snowy evening in Chicago
Speaker 1: and hired to believe we got the white stuff back.
Speaker 1: Some of the players up at have us all today. Yep,
Speaker 1: it's hitting reality. The winter weather has arrived. Welcome into
Speaker 1: Bears All Access. It's brought to you by IGS Energy.
Speaker 1: Wishing you a pleasant good evening on your travels home
Speaker 1: or wherever you may be with my broadcast partner from
Speaker 1: news radio seven eighty one oh five nine FMWBBM, Chicago
Speaker 1: Bears super Bowl winner Tom There, Good evening time, Jeff,
Speaker 1: you're the kind of guy that likes the wintertime. I'm
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that waits for Indian summer, just
Speaker 1: for one more week after that first phreeze. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't get it through any yard work at all. So
Speaker 1: the leaves are still on the grass and hopefully the
Speaker 1: snow will melt in short order. But it's expected to
Speaker 1: be cold. Man, it's going to be colder on here.
Speaker 1: Well that's November, that's what you expect. Yeah, no question.
Speaker 1: But the Bears hitting the road, they won't be playing
Speaker 1: in this weather. They may be practicing indoors this week
Speaker 1: at the Peyton Center, but we will all break it
Speaker 1: down throughout the course of the night, we'll recap the
Speaker 1: Bears lost to the Lions, look ahead the Sunday's trip,
Speaker 1: and coming up in the show, former Bears quarterback Mark Sanchez,
Speaker 1: who called Sunday's game on Fox for a breakdown of
Speaker 1: the Bears and in particular Justin Fields, so that'll happen
Speaker 1: about six thirty. And former NFL quarterback and now radio
Speaker 1: analysts for the Falcons for a long time now, David
Speaker 1: Archer coming up at six ten. Thanks to our producers
Speaker 1: Dan Brilliant, Jordan's trut up and Sean Sears at the
Speaker 1: Score Studios, Tom, he did it again, Justin Fields again.
Speaker 1: A national story this week. You know he's gonna be
Speaker 1: a national story the rest of the year because he
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily burst on the scene. He's probably, I mean,
Speaker 1: he just started to be so productive with his legs.
Speaker 1: He's hard not to watch in whether you're a Bear fan,
Speaker 1: of Falcon fan, or just an NFL fan. He's an
Speaker 1: exciting player that's gonna be fun to watch throughout the
Speaker 1: remainder of this year and hopefully for the next decade.
Speaker 1: In Chicago. All Right, Five new NFL or Bears records
Speaker 1: thirteen total touchdown since Week seven, number one of the NFL.
Speaker 1: We can go on and on. The one that really
Speaker 1: strikes me, forty eight rushing first downs. That's number one
Speaker 1: in the NFL, excuse me, number one in the NFC,
Speaker 1: number six in the NFL regardless of position. And that's
Speaker 1: what's really helped the Bears third down offense now really
Speaker 1: rise because he's doing a lot of it on third
Speaker 1: down as well with his legs, right, you know, I
Speaker 1: think that's probably the most confusing thing to any defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator in the league, is when you get to a
Speaker 1: third and whatever, it's makeable because of the legs of
Speaker 1: Justin fields. Now, how do you play your front seven?
Speaker 1: How do you play your defensive coverage? You know, how
Speaker 1: do you distribute the bodies around with the field to
Speaker 1: make sure that you limit the running lanes for Justin?
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you can make him small enough,
Speaker 1: because he has the ability to run by anybody. All right.
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflews on the Bears Coaching Show last night on
Speaker 1: w BBM on what makes this man as special as
Speaker 1: he has been playing. He's obviously very special. First of all,
Speaker 1: he's a special person. You know, he's he's a great teammate,
Speaker 1: he's a great leader of his football team. And he
Speaker 1: does it. Do actions first, and he's the first guy
Speaker 1: in the last guy to leave, and he is working
Speaker 1: the same guy every day and he does it. He's
Speaker 1: there after practice and as you know, you know, for
Speaker 1: forty five minutes doing routes with these receivers every single day.
Speaker 1: So he's special that way, you know. And we always
Speaker 1: tell a talk about leadership and say, hey, model the
Speaker 1: behavior he wished to see, and that's what he does.
Speaker 1: He models that. By doing that, he inspires others, he
Speaker 1: inspires his whole football team by the way he works.
Speaker 1: I'll going to the football field itself on game day.
Speaker 1: There is no question that he is something that's hard
Speaker 1: to handle us with the opponent because the ability to
Speaker 1: run on the design runs, but also that the unscripted
Speaker 1: ones as well. The third one was a design run.
Speaker 1: Everybody knew that he had a potential to keep it
Speaker 1: and he did what he did. And then obviously there's
Speaker 1: the ones where he drops backs and you know, it
Speaker 1: does it does a good job of getting those first
Speaker 1: downs on third down or whatever the situation may be.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's special, and it's opening up asking game
Speaker 1: like the col Comet play, you know, putting defenders in conflict,
Speaker 1: not sure what they're going to do that fifty yard touchdown.
Speaker 1: Obviously that was an error in judgment on the defense, right,
Speaker 1: but he's putting the defensive coordinators in conflict. They don't
Speaker 1: exactly know what to call on third down, whether it's
Speaker 1: third and one or third and nine. And because the
Speaker 1: effort and the time and the work that Justin puts in,
Speaker 1: as Matt has described as a season ticket holder, and
Speaker 1: excites the heck out of me for what he's going
Speaker 1: to bring as a Bear is alumni. I'm so proud
Speaker 1: to watch this guy and what he does around on
Speaker 1: the field in the way that he's getting mentioned around
Speaker 1: the entire NFL landscape. So it's super fun to hear
Speaker 1: the compliments by Matt Eberflus because he's the guy that
Speaker 1: sees it the most and sees it the closest. We'll
Speaker 1: hear more from Mett just talking about being a defensive coach.
Speaker 1: He understands what these guys are going through because he's
Speaker 1: had to stop similar players and he had to adjust
Speaker 1: over the course of his time as a coordinator because
Speaker 1: the league has changed. There's a lot of these guys,
Speaker 1: but maybe not a lot of guys like Justin Fields
Speaker 1: or Lamar Jackson. That's that's different, and Justin's different than Lamar.
Speaker 1: That run that he bowled over the defender, Deshaun Elliott
Speaker 1: gave him a concussion. That guy's guy's a nasty hitter
Speaker 1: and he lowered his shoulder and blew him up into
Speaker 1: the end zone. I mean, that was all want to
Speaker 1: And he's just he's thick, he runs, he glides. Guys
Speaker 1: look like they're standing still when he's running in the
Speaker 1: open field. And he's a lot faster than his time
Speaker 1: forty when he was at the combat. I don't know
Speaker 1: what four four four four six is because that's not
Speaker 1: four four six, right. You know, you're as fast as
Speaker 1: you need to be. And I you know you hear what.
Speaker 1: That's what coach Eeverflu says last night. He's fast as
Speaker 1: he needs to be, right because he's got gears. He
Speaker 1: gears down, ere he gears up. You know, when he
Speaker 1: was running away from Jeff Acuda and who's also an
Speaker 1: Ohio State grad, and he didn't necessarily have him in
Speaker 1: his review, mirror. He was tilting his head so he
Speaker 1: could see him. How gratifying that must feel as an
Speaker 1: athlete and everything that Matt talks about, the work he's
Speaker 1: it in to be that accomplished, that in great of
Speaker 1: shape where he can make those kind of runs late
Speaker 1: in the game. And I know he's sore when he
Speaker 1: gets in the locker room, because every time an NFL
Speaker 1: lineman walks in the locker room, they're sore. But I
Speaker 1: just imagine how sore he is. Excuse me, budd, He's
Speaker 1: in such great shape. He has the ability to recover well.
Speaker 1: I asked, Also, is the man tired? Do do you
Speaker 1: concern yourself as the season goes on? Does it affect
Speaker 1: his passing down the road if he's doing all of
Speaker 1: this kind of running? And Matt said, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep in a monitor and everybody, we got
Speaker 1: the buye Week coming up in three weeks, and you know,
Speaker 1: the next step, obviously, is what everyone's gonna want to
Speaker 1: talk about. Can you start making more plays out of
Speaker 1: the pocket, Will you have more volume of passes? Will
Speaker 1: you be able to finish games as a team in
Speaker 1: fourth quarter? Highly leveraged situations yeah, I think first and
Speaker 1: foremost the question is passing efficiency by Justin fields to
Speaker 1: limit some of that abuse that he takes at the
Speaker 1: conclusion of runs, to limit some of the fatigue and
Speaker 1: the legs if he doesn't have to run as much.
Speaker 1: But I think he can become more of a weapon
Speaker 1: if he throws the ball efficiently and then he jets
Speaker 1: the jets the epocket when he needs to, because then
Speaker 1: that's when he can turn third and nine into a
Speaker 1: fifty yard touchdown run. So I'm excited for what the
Speaker 1: future holds, But as a player, I believe that the
Speaker 1: passing game has to be more effective and more part
Speaker 1: of his game as much as his ability to run Bears.
Speaker 1: A running back situation did take a hit today. Khalil
Speaker 1: Herbert goes on injured reserve at least for the next
Speaker 1: four games, so he's going to be out until December
Speaker 1: at least. It looked I could happen in that fourth
Speaker 1: quarter kick return something with the hips, so we're going
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on that as well. And Kingsley
Speaker 1: Jonathan and his Wave looks like they're bringing in another
Speaker 1: defensive back in Justin Laye, a former third round pick
Speaker 1: by the Steelers out of Michigan State. We'll catch up
Speaker 1: with all that, but coming up next Mark Sanchez, who
Speaker 1: called the game on Fox, with a breakdown of the
Speaker 1: Bears when we come back. This is Bears All Access
Speaker 1: on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to Score, falk back
Speaker 1: and Bears All Access. It's brought to you by IGS
Speaker 1: Energy with Tom Thayer, Jeff Johnny act here on Chicago
Speaker 1: Sports Radio six seventy the Score. Getting ready earlier this
Speaker 1: week on a Tuesday night. Usually we're later in the
Speaker 1: week by getting ready for a trip to Atlanta to
Speaker 1: the Mercedes Benz Stadium to meet the Atlanta Falcons, a
Speaker 1: team that's lost two in a row and three of four.
Speaker 1: Bears have lost six of seven. Now joined by their
Speaker 1: radio analysts and our good friend and my fellow alone
Speaker 1: from Iowa State, same graduating class. I believe. I believe
Speaker 1: the man is David Archer, former Falcons quarterback. How you
Speaker 1: doing tonight, Dave, Jeff doing good? Buddy, Go Cyclones, Yes,
Speaker 1: go cyc Clones. We need two more wins to be
Speaker 1: Bowl eligible this year. Yeah, we got a little work
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah. Well, it's gonna be about five below
Speaker 1: zero when Tech rolls in, So I think that they're
Speaker 1: gonna have a problem with that, right, I hear about that.
Speaker 1: You know, we got a golden domer with us, so
Speaker 1: we can just you know, have a private conversation, you
Speaker 1: and I right here, right, But yeah, yeah, what year
Speaker 1: did you graduate? Eighty four or eighty three? I was
Speaker 1: eighty three, eighty three. Yeah, Tim's year same class as me.
Speaker 1: Thank you, David, David, you're getting ready. You know. The
Speaker 1: interesting thing is it's it's it's been a long time
Speaker 1: for the Bears to settle in on a quarterback that,
Speaker 1: you know, has the ability to not have situations like
Speaker 1: as a rising in Atlanta where people are talking about, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's nice, Marcus Mariota's a veteran quarterback. Well, we got
Speaker 1: this guy Desmond Ritter on there and the roster we
Speaker 1: drafted him. Let's take a look at him at this point.
Speaker 1: And that seems to be carrying the headlines here after
Speaker 1: the mini buy. What's your take on it. I know
Speaker 1: coach has squashed all that there is no quote unquote situation.
Speaker 1: It's Marcus Mariota for the game against the Bears. Well, Jeff,
Speaker 1: it doesn't help that the guy that's coming to town.
Speaker 1: Is the guy that everybody Atlanta wanted to draft two
Speaker 1: years ago. The two drafts ago, right we took Puts
Speaker 1: the sight in and Justin Fields, a local kid went
Speaker 1: to Harrison High School right here in Atlanta. That's the
Speaker 1: kid that everybody wanted here. Former Georgia bulldog went went
Speaker 1: to a house day, you know the story. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of that in the stands.
Speaker 1: And so because we didn't have him, and we drafted
Speaker 1: a kid this last year in Desmond Ritter, who I
Speaker 1: think is the third all time leader in wins for
Speaker 1: a college quarterback as forty four wins. It's Cincinnati is
Speaker 1: kind of sitting in the wings. And he showed some
Speaker 1: promise in preseason, and you guys know and Tom and
Speaker 1: I can both tell you that preseason is different than
Speaker 1: the regular season. But he played well in the preseason,
Speaker 1: did some good things with a limited package, and so
Speaker 1: they're chomping at the bit to see him getting the game,
Speaker 1: especially the way Marcus played Thursday night. He played like
Speaker 1: a young player. He made a lot of mistakes, put
Speaker 1: the ball in harm's way, and we were struggling offensively anyway.
Speaker 1: Without the run game. He's got to try to minimize damage.
Speaker 1: He didn't do that. He magnified the problem. So that's
Speaker 1: even a scentuated the conversation about the other guy playing.
Speaker 1: But this is a team that's still in the mix.
Speaker 1: I mean Tampa's one game head they still play Tampa
Speaker 1: later on in the year. Is even though they're at
Speaker 1: four and six right now, Hey, David, I want to
Speaker 1: like extend a little bit of conversation about the quarterback
Speaker 1: position because Justin Fields is in the position he's in
Speaker 1: and Desmond is looking for his opportunity eventually from the
Speaker 1: time that you came in the league and to where
Speaker 1: it's at now, do you think the terminology in the
Speaker 1: huddle is too exhaustive for the quarterback being able to
Speaker 1: pick it up, know it exactly what it means, knows
Speaker 1: exactly what the audible they're calling within that terminology, and
Speaker 1: then what they have to look at the defense and
Speaker 1: make everything compute into their mind. What do you think
Speaker 1: of the terminology for today's quarterbacks? Yeah, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: ridiculous time. I could see you looking back at me,
Speaker 1: if we're in the same buddle looking at me Cross,
Speaker 1: I'd like what the hell are you talking about. So
Speaker 1: it used to be used called a formation or protection
Speaker 1: and uplet numbers and off we went right, and then
Speaker 1: if you wanted to change a play at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, it was a double digit number and it changed.
Speaker 1: It changed things. There was some memorization attached to it.
Speaker 1: It's almost like we've had to remove your ability to
Speaker 1: memorize what's going on in the playbook. You just gotta
Speaker 1: gotta have somebody tell you exactly what to do. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're seeing in the college ranks as well. Right, you
Speaker 1: look at the sideline and you've got a guy signaling
Speaker 1: the offensive line. You got a guy signaling the wide receivers,
Speaker 1: you got a guy signaling the quarterback. So it's crazy,
Speaker 1: but you're right. The verbiage has gotten exhausted, is the
Speaker 1: right way to say it. This West Coast offense is
Speaker 1: kind of morphed into kind of a West Coast with
Speaker 1: a little bit of the run and shooting it. There's
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff in it and all the build
Speaker 1: in numbers and names. Now it has you know, Tom there.
Speaker 1: You remember the old forty nine er offense. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about Joe Montana, those guys. That was pretty wordy,
Speaker 1: you know, And so that was kind of an, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of an exception to the rule. Is you know
Speaker 1: something that you could get to everybody and get out
Speaker 1: of the huddle, in and out of the huddle. Now
Speaker 1: it's become all of that, And I would agree with you.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I don't have to spew that stuff out
Speaker 1: to you guys in the huddle. You know what. Looking
Speaker 1: at your tight end a couple of years ago, when
Speaker 1: Pitts was drafted, he was going to revolutionize the tight
Speaker 1: end position. He was gonna be a wide receiver playing
Speaker 1: tight end and kind of reminds you of of Winslow
Speaker 1: when he was playing in San Diego. Where is he
Speaker 1: at and in his career does he have a lot
Speaker 1: further to go or does he still are they still
Speaker 1: looking for him to make major improvements now? I think
Speaker 1: there's some rawness to him Tom that there's no question
Speaker 1: that he needs to refine some of the things you
Speaker 1: need to do to be a good route runner. I
Speaker 1: think from a physical standpoint, the guy's six six, he's
Speaker 1: got a seven two wingspan, he runs four four, So
Speaker 1: all the physical traits are there, I mean, and you know,
Speaker 1: in all honesty, you know he albeit he had an
Speaker 1: extra game, extra couple of games. You know, he was
Speaker 1: the first tight to go over a thousand yards sin
Speaker 1: ditka did it in Chicago, in you know with what
Speaker 1: he did, so U, I think the guy has has
Speaker 1: the talent to do it, but we're still seeing a
Speaker 1: raw version of it. And I don't know that he's
Speaker 1: necessarily growing this year either, Tom, because the way we're
Speaker 1: playing offense, it's kind of an archaic way of playing offense.
Speaker 1: We're running to football, we're running some zone read. Tell
Speaker 1: me if you guys have heard this story before, I
Speaker 1: think you guys are watching the same thing happen up there.
Speaker 1: But there's some there's some issues with the passing game.
Speaker 1: We can't protect all that well. So the drop back
Speaker 1: pass game is kind of part of what we do.
Speaker 1: We do a lot of play action. There's an RPO,
Speaker 1: there's there's zone read, there's you know, play action off
Speaker 1: of that. And so I think from a from a
Speaker 1: pure route running, being able to stand outside the numbers
Speaker 1: and affect the game in the slot we're removing, I
Speaker 1: think he's probably I don't know, as you regress, but
Speaker 1: he really hasn't grown that much this year because he
Speaker 1: just haven't gotten the ball enough. Yeah, the ball's not
Speaker 1: going up in a in the year A lot of
Speaker 1: here either. I mean, it's kind of strange league wide,
Speaker 1: what's going on. You're not seeing a lot right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the wave of the future.
Speaker 1: I mean, the run games have been something else. And certainly,
Speaker 1: and we're David Archer, analysts for the Atlanta Falcons on radio,
Speaker 1: and former NFL quarterback out of Iowa State, joining us
Speaker 1: here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score. But
Speaker 1: do you look around and see wow? First of all,
Speaker 1: the Bears are leading the league with over two hundred
Speaker 1: yards rushing. Justin has a lot to do with that,
Speaker 1: of course, but it's it's the commitment to it, and
Speaker 1: you're seeing it around the league. Is this what we're
Speaker 1: headed completely? Well, it certainly seems like we're making a
Speaker 1: transition back to it, right Jeff. We spread everything's spread out,
Speaker 1: and we started throwing the ball over the yard, and
Speaker 1: I think they realized that the defenses that were beginning
Speaker 1: to adjust to the spread offense looks a little bit
Speaker 1: more of a college feel to it, you know, empty
Speaker 1: sets and all that kind of stuff, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, defenses are saying, okay, well we're gonna eat
Speaker 1: your pass. R you want to you want to spread out,
Speaker 1: we'll try to jam or seer to line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: will disrupt timing, and we're going to get after your passer.
Speaker 1: And you're seeing teams get after the quarterback. Now that
Speaker 1: the evolution of that was the short pass the game.
Speaker 1: Now we've got the bubble screens and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff you see at the college level. And now
Speaker 1: they're they're growing into that. They're they're finding a way
Speaker 1: to defend that. And you look up and now there's
Speaker 1: lighter players on the field. Defense over. You've got six
Speaker 1: dbs on the field. Well, I'm going to run the
Speaker 1: ball against six dvs. Tom. I'll tell you back in
Speaker 1: the day, if we saw you go light with an
Speaker 1: extra DV or two, we're gonna pound your rear in.
Speaker 1: With the run game and the evolution of the quarterback
Speaker 1: now with the ability to run, you know, justin fields,
Speaker 1: the guy down here, Marcus Mariota is still very capable
Speaker 1: of snapping off a forty fifty yard run if you
Speaker 1: give him room they'll do that too. So the evolution
Speaker 1: of the quarterback from an more of an athlete standpoint
Speaker 1: as opposed to the pocket quarterback. And then kind of
Speaker 1: the defense is the ebb and flow of them trying
Speaker 1: to cover these spreads and offense is realizing, well, they
Speaker 1: got lighter defenders on the field, We're going to attack
Speaker 1: that with a run game. That's kind of awesome. The
Speaker 1: run game again. All of a sudden, David, what do
Speaker 1: you think at Justin Fields right now? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: Durry was out. I know after the first year. I
Speaker 1: liked him. I thought he was in by draft analysis
Speaker 1: down here as we got ready because we thought we
Speaker 1: were going to take a QB to two drafts ago, right,
Speaker 1: so we really looked at the quarterbacks hard in our
Speaker 1: draft now, says I thought Justin was the second best
Speaker 1: quarterback coming out. I thought he was right behind Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence is the second best guy. Trey Lance hadn't played
Speaker 1: very much. I didn't like that scenario, and I never
Speaker 1: liked the kid from BYU. I just think he'd played
Speaker 1: against the competition that Justin Fields had played against. So
Speaker 1: that's why I liked him. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: little bit he started kind of slow, but then I
Speaker 1: began to think, Okay, well, wait a minute. The Kays
Speaker 1: a rookie, give him a chance, and it's starting to
Speaker 1: come for him. They're starting to kind of play the
Speaker 1: game the way he can play it. I mean, what
Speaker 1: averaging about twenty twenty one throws a game he's talking
Speaker 1: in about. They're calling some frun plays plus something promptus
Speaker 1: somewhere in that ten to twelve times a game for
Speaker 1: him to run it. And so he's able to affect
Speaker 1: the game physically the way he did in college. And
Speaker 1: so I think his comfortability playing at this level, knowing
Speaker 1: what he can and can't get away with, is starting
Speaker 1: to come. I think obviously the aeros pointed way up.
Speaker 1: His last two weeks have been phenomenal running the football,
Speaker 1: and I think he's just going to get better as
Speaker 1: a passer. David, You know, a lot when I talk
Speaker 1: to people about playing for dick in the eighties, a
Speaker 1: lot of people say, oh, you know, the modern day athlete,
Speaker 1: They couldn't take a guy with Dickon's personality and his
Speaker 1: sideline demeanor. But I look at your guy, and I
Speaker 1: look at the way he was yelling at not yelling, coaching, yelling,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it during the preseason. And
Speaker 1: then he's got you know, that face that if you
Speaker 1: make a mistake, he's kind of scary to come back
Speaker 1: to the sideline too. Is that good for this team
Speaker 1: or how do people perceive him? I think the biggest
Speaker 1: thing Tom is his ability to kind of coach everybody
Speaker 1: the same. And I think that was what he came
Speaker 1: in with. And I know you appreciated this about coach
Speaker 1: Ditka is it didn't matter whether you were a star
Speaker 1: player like Jimmy Mack or whoever it was, you were
Speaker 1: going to get your ass too if you did the
Speaker 1: wrong stuff coming off the field. And he's treated everybody
Speaker 1: the same. And frankly, we don't have a ton of
Speaker 1: we don't have a bunch of star players on this team.
Speaker 1: I guess the young tight end would be kind of
Speaker 1: in that category or kind of blossoming into that category.
Speaker 1: Cordarrell Patterson is a guy that is kind of blossomed
Speaker 1: a little bit here. Grady Jarrett maybe on the defensive line.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a group that needed to be coached
Speaker 1: pretty hard. So maybe that's the scenario. I don't know
Speaker 1: how many stars would would kind of blend in with
Speaker 1: the way guys are a little bit thin skin nowadays.
Speaker 1: I don't I sure as I'll think, and I don't
Speaker 1: know about you, Tom, but there's no way that the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks nowadays gold have taken Ditka the way back did
Speaker 1: and the way Mac handled him, There's no question about that.
Speaker 1: You know Mac could just brush him off and laugh
Speaker 1: at him and stuff like that because Mac had that personality.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure guys in this year it could handle it.
Speaker 1: But getting back to Arthur Smith, I think he's a
Speaker 1: perfect fit for the cast of characters they have here
Speaker 1: and some of the young guys are going to bring
Speaker 1: in down the road. Does he include himself in the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball or does he leave that alone?
Speaker 1: And with that question, when you look at it, when
Speaker 1: you think about a defensive coordinator getting ready for Justin fields,
Speaker 1: what is your plan of attack is it? You know
Speaker 1: you can't keep him in the pocket because he can
Speaker 1: run around it. Do you want to force him to
Speaker 1: throw the ball or do you attack the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage with multiple blitzers and see if the offensive line
Speaker 1: can pick it up and make Justin make a quicker decision. Well,
Speaker 1: Tom to all that is, yes, everything you just said,
Speaker 1: because there's no you know, he's good enough now to
Speaker 1: where he's you know, he's been around long enough. And
Speaker 1: I know it's only a year and a half plus,
Speaker 1: he's been around long enough to renose. Okay, if you
Speaker 1: show me the same thing, I'm gonna beat it. And
Speaker 1: in the coaching staff going to find a way to
Speaker 1: get him comfortable and beat something the same thing. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do everything you just said. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to blitz him. You're gonna have to play coverage.
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna have to spy him sometimes. And if
Speaker 1: he does get out of pocket, you'd like to have
Speaker 1: into your push. But if he gets out of pocket,
Speaker 1: don't allow him to escape through the pocket. Don't let
Speaker 1: him climb in the pocket. He's got You got to
Speaker 1: shove him out one way or the other, preferably obviously
Speaker 1: to his left because he's a right handed passer. But
Speaker 1: you've got to shove him to the sideline, use the
Speaker 1: sideline as an extra defender. And then, boy, you got
Speaker 1: to have a lot of eyes on him because this
Speaker 1: you know, you guys have seen it the last two
Speaker 1: weeks two sixty plus yard touchdown runs. This guy's the
Speaker 1: fastest guy in the field. If he gets clean, he
Speaker 1: could go. And so if you don't gang tackle leverage tackling,
Speaker 1: this is like trying to you know, Jeff, you call
Speaker 1: some of the great calls on Devin Hester. Ever, you
Speaker 1: are ridiculous. This guy could beat that guy. You know,
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. You've got to cover him
Speaker 1: like a punt returner when he gets out of the pocket.
Speaker 1: But if you can force him to one out of
Speaker 1: the field, I think that's what they'll try to do.
Speaker 1: But as far as Arthur being involved with the defenseive side,
Speaker 1: ink for the most part, Dean Piece handles that he
Speaker 1: kind of hand picked Dean Piece. He brought him out
Speaker 1: of retirement, Dean had retired, brought him in. They'd worked
Speaker 1: together in Tennessee. Of course, Dean's got a great history
Speaker 1: and working in New England and and so he's done.
Speaker 1: He's done a great job and been around a lot
Speaker 1: of good coaches himself. He's done a really good job
Speaker 1: with a group of guys that really don't know much
Speaker 1: about I'm sorry, hey, David Miami tried to spy him
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and the spy was not
Speaker 1: as fast as Justin, so he just ran away from him.
Speaker 1: Is there a guy on your roster and you don't
Speaker 1: have to identify him just in your mind of knowing
Speaker 1: the roster. The way you do that is that has
Speaker 1: spy capabilities against him? Well, I think we have a
Speaker 1: guy fast enough, but he's probably but Justin could probably
Speaker 1: put him in his pocket. So we don't have anybody
Speaker 1: big enough that could potentially run with him. At six
Speaker 1: three two hund twenty five pounds, you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: tough time finding anybody that's going to match that. So
Speaker 1: it's one thing to be able to track him down
Speaker 1: and then it's the other thing to physically get him
Speaker 1: on the ground. So, I mean, this is a this
Speaker 1: is a potential star in the making. You guys have
Speaker 1: watched it. I think Chicago should be excited about what
Speaker 1: they have. Now they've got to kind of build things
Speaker 1: around him. You keep giving your defensive players what the
Speaker 1: hell's going on up there? Give Roquan Smith away and
Speaker 1: he's a great player. What do you guys do it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well that's a complicated, that's a longer conversation. Who's there.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously money's involved and uh, you know, got
Speaker 1: instincts on what to do there. David, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for your time. One last question, Grady Jarrett. You
Speaker 1: mentioned him, and that guy is still a wrecker of
Speaker 1: the pocket. He seems like he's having a much better
Speaker 1: year than he did a year ago. Is he the
Speaker 1: guy that Bears have to circle to make sure he
Speaker 1: doesn't destruct a game plan a little bit? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think I think you're you're a day we're bang on,
Speaker 1: and that's usually the case, Jeff. They're gonna double team him.
Speaker 1: Atlanta did not fit the run very well. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Tom's looks at some tape. Linebackers overran plays and they
Speaker 1: were gutted by the run game by Carolina last week.
Speaker 1: They're double team and Grady and telling those linebackers okay,
Speaker 1: come come make some plays, and they didn't do it.
Speaker 1: So you can bet Chicago's going to test the belly
Speaker 1: of the Falcon defense this weekend, all right, David, Hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll say hello and see you. I think it's our
Speaker 1: first trip. I keep I thought we were there once.
Speaker 1: Tom says no, So I think it's our first trip
Speaker 1: to the New the new building, so it'll be exciting
Speaker 1: to see. We'll look forward to seeing you guys. Man
Speaker 1: f safe travels. All right, David Archer our guest here
Speaker 1: on Bears All Access coming up next, Mark Saint Jefs.
Speaker 1: We talk quarterbacks here with Tom There. I'm Jeff Joni Acc.
Speaker 1: We're brought to you by IGS Energy on Chicago Sports
Speaker 1: Radio six seventy to Score. Welcome back to Bears All
Speaker 1: Access here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to Score,
Speaker 1: Tom There, Jeff Joni Act. Just shirt from David Archer,
Speaker 1: Sean Sears, our producer, Sean, I didn't have my ear
Speaker 1: pe sin. Let me know when we have our next guest,
Speaker 1: and that guest will be former Bears quarterback Mark Sanchez
Speaker 1: now working at Fox. Love Arch's candidness, Tom Oh Mark
Speaker 1: is here, Okay, Well he's been with that organization for
Speaker 1: quite a while. Job yeah, yep, and Mark Sanchez been
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback for ten years and just finished watching
Speaker 1: our game on Fox along with Kevin Coogler. To do
Speaker 1: a great job and welcome to the program. This is
Speaker 1: Bears All Access here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy
Speaker 1: to Score here with Tom There, Jeff, jonyach Mark, thanks
Speaker 1: for taking the time. How are you doing tonight, Tom
Speaker 1: and Jeff? I'm doing great, guys. Thank you. So I
Speaker 1: did not watch the entire rebroadcast of the game, obviously
Speaker 1: doing the game ourselves, but I saw some clips or
Speaker 1: hurt some clips, and there was a lot of who's
Speaker 1: an oz from you? With Justin running crazy again at
Speaker 1: Soldier Field? What what were your takeaways? Now? A couple
Speaker 1: of days later too, to digest what we're witnessing right now.
Speaker 1: I mean it is special to watch and in some
Speaker 1: ways exhausting, but in a lot of ways rewarding. And
Speaker 1: it's just finding that that balance of you know when
Speaker 1: to really try and extend place and when to cut eight,
Speaker 1: say uncle and move on with your life, and you know,
Speaker 1: throw the ball away and gets in the next down.
Speaker 1: And that's the trick for every quarterback, whether you can
Speaker 1: move like Justin or you know you're trying to fit
Speaker 1: a throw in here there with your arm strength, every
Speaker 1: quarterback goes through it. Justin just has so many tools
Speaker 1: and so many gifts that he's still ironing some of
Speaker 1: those things out, but he is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: guys to watch. It's just you never know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, the guy, I think it was
Speaker 1: like a seventy plus yard scramble. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I mean, if I had that kind of athleticism in
Speaker 1: my pinky toe, I might be playing still. So it's
Speaker 1: it's incredible. Mark, you talk about balance. When you look
Speaker 1: at Justin and the special skills he does have. What's
Speaker 1: next for him? What would you encourage him to put
Speaker 1: major emphasis on to take his game to that next
Speaker 1: level of it with his abilities? Well, I mean it's
Speaker 1: it's one play here or there, right that that have
Speaker 1: really separated some of these some of these games for them.
Speaker 1: And listen, one play doesn't decide the game, right, everybody
Speaker 1: has a hand in it. It's the ultimate team sport.
Speaker 1: But when you throw the pick six to a Kuda
Speaker 1: that's going to come back and look bad, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't think about the fast break, miss lay up,
Speaker 1: breakaway layup, you know, in the middle of the second quarter.
Speaker 1: But when you lose by a point at the end,
Speaker 1: you're like, dang, you know that one would have been
Speaker 1: one of them or whatever, missing a free throw or
Speaker 1: something like. They add up over time, and so my
Speaker 1: real takeaway from Justin just like a lot of these
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, but he's he's going to have more opportunities
Speaker 1: than others because of his unique skill set and his
Speaker 1: ability to extend plays is the overall theme for him.
Speaker 1: As the play gets longer, his IQ has to just
Speaker 1: skyrocket and he has to get smarter as the play
Speaker 1: gets extended, and every time he does that, it's just
Speaker 1: one more decision. He's going to have to make, one
Speaker 1: more crucial decision he's going to have to make. And
Speaker 1: that's on top of everything he's already doing, making run checks,
Speaker 1: you know, reading defenses and all that. So the mental
Speaker 1: stamina that it's gonna take to do that, plus the
Speaker 1: physical stamina on top of that, it's getting cold out
Speaker 1: there already, you know, running around that much when it's
Speaker 1: even colder than it was on Sunday. I mean, that
Speaker 1: stuff takes a toll on you physically mentally. It's it's
Speaker 1: a real deal now. So he's going to have you know,
Speaker 1: if let's just say the baseline for quarterbacks, Let's just
Speaker 1: throw out a number so it's easy, but like a
Speaker 1: hundred decisions, right, Let's just say you have a hundred
Speaker 1: decisions again, just because of his skill set in the
Speaker 1: way he can extend place. He's gonna have a one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty at least to just have to rehash
Speaker 1: and understand the situation and really for him once again,
Speaker 1: as a play gets longer, he's got to get smarter
Speaker 1: and the situation has to trump whatever and whatever decision
Speaker 1: you're trying to make. And that's you know, that's not
Speaker 1: easy when you're running you know a four four out there,
Speaker 1: that's and he plays even faster than that. So forget
Speaker 1: the four floor. I mean, he can fly. There's no
Speaker 1: ways for he's got to be it's got to be faster.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it just it just appears. It's wild.
Speaker 1: So like what I'm a perfect example, right, is like
Speaker 1: you know some of the some of the third down plays,
Speaker 1: that's where he's so deadly right, and he's he's converting
Speaker 1: he's able to convert some of these third and longs
Speaker 1: that nobody in their right mind can do. Right, Like, no,
Speaker 1: no normal skill set quarterback can do that. Okay, what
Speaker 1: he's doing, he's doing stuff that we haven't seen in
Speaker 1: this league before. He's breaking records that have stood for
Speaker 1: over twenty years or longer. Right, that's incredible. So he's
Speaker 1: a generational talent. Now, if you look at the top
Speaker 1: teams on third and long, I mean, you're you're converting
Speaker 1: anywhere from like ten percent to maybe like if you
Speaker 1: get in the low twenties, you're like amazing on third down. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you think about that and you get you know,
Speaker 1: call it four third and longs a game, five third
Speaker 1: and longs a game whatever. I mean, just one of
Speaker 1: those and you're doing fine, right, think about that, just
Speaker 1: one for five on third and long, third and seven
Speaker 1: plus third and nine plus whatever. So if you nailed
Speaker 1: two of them early in the game, those next ones,
Speaker 1: it's almost like being three zero in a pictures count. Like,
Speaker 1: now I'm going to be real selective on these next couple, unless,
Speaker 1: of course, the situation Trump's at and hey, it's you
Speaker 1: know this third and long and you know everything's on
Speaker 1: the line here and we gotta come up with something,
Speaker 1: so I gotta pull a play out of my butt here,
Speaker 1: like whatever, Okay, fine, then go make some magic happen
Speaker 1: and you go be you and cut a loose But
Speaker 1: you know, just playing the numbers that way, and that's
Speaker 1: the stuff he's gonna learn along the way. When he's
Speaker 1: done worrying about formations and shifts and some of these
Speaker 1: defensive looks, he's going to really be able to major
Speaker 1: in that. And when those two things intersect, right, once
Speaker 1: he's mastered the forma sins and he's really getting to
Speaker 1: handle on the defense, then he's really understanding concepts and
Speaker 1: all that. And now it's just, hey, how are we
Speaker 1: going to win the game. Let's let's just talk about
Speaker 1: how we're going to play. What are our decisions we're
Speaker 1: going to have to make when he gets there? Wholy smokes.
Speaker 1: And if he can stay healthy, of course, I mean,
Speaker 1: look out, he could be well the best to do it. Man. Hey, Mark, So,
Speaker 1: I've been doing the Bears games now for twenty six years,
Speaker 1: and I do the games through the eyes of an
Speaker 1: ex offensive lineman. There's a lot of pre snap reads
Speaker 1: that I look at offensive lineman in the way to
Speaker 1: their stance, defensive line in their stances, configuration of the defense.
Speaker 1: You being an ex quarterback and as broadcaster, how do
Speaker 1: you look at a game with justin that you're broadcasting. Well,
Speaker 1: I think some of the tape I watched going into it,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm like flagging these plays, coming up with
Speaker 1: some of my own, you know, lists of clips, so
Speaker 1: I remember to watch him again and how special they are.
Speaker 1: But the multiple third downs he converted on Monday night
Speaker 1: against the paths like third and longs. I think it
Speaker 1: was consecutive third and sixteens or third and eighteen or
Speaker 1: whatever it was. You're just like, WHOA, okay, be ready
Speaker 1: for anything on third down? Number one? Number two is
Speaker 1: you see a ton of movement throws right like, you
Speaker 1: just look at numbers and kind of what what he's
Speaker 1: most comfortable doing, and a lot of that's a lot
Speaker 1: of the run pos, run pass option stuff. So pre
Speaker 1: snap looks like our cornerbacks off, can they run those
Speaker 1: quick out throws with a run tagged? You know, trying
Speaker 1: to understand their rules when I talked to the coaches
Speaker 1: during the week on what, you know, what an advantageous
Speaker 1: throw looks like to them, So I can kind of
Speaker 1: put myself in their shoes when I when I think
Speaker 1: they're going to run one of those RPO throws and
Speaker 1: they have a run tagged and then some sort of
Speaker 1: bubble or screening or whatever on the outside, you just
Speaker 1: essentially you're counting cows right, and anybody in the world
Speaker 1: can do it. It's just can you do it consistently
Speaker 1: and you know, make all the tough throws or else
Speaker 1: everybody in the world would do it. So I use
Speaker 1: those a little bit when I watch, but like the
Speaker 1: heavy and light stances and stuff aren't always as easy
Speaker 1: to tell. And I know, you know those being an aligneman,
Speaker 1: you know, especially from upping the booth, it's a little
Speaker 1: farther away to really hone in on some of those.
Speaker 1: But I mean obviously taking some stuff from the from
Speaker 1: the defense, right, like how they're trying to play them,
Speaker 1: and use a little deductive reasoning like okay, why are
Speaker 1: they stunning so much? Well, because they run a ton
Speaker 1: of zone zone runs, right, like you try and stunt
Speaker 1: and you know, getting between some of those double teams
Speaker 1: that are trying to work to the second level, and
Speaker 1: that's like a counter to that. So obviously they're expecting
Speaker 1: that right nickel pressure's off the edge to Justin's right
Speaker 1: side to force him to turn left and escape the
Speaker 1: pocket left cut the field and half for the defenders
Speaker 1: because they're taught to plaster right, like stick to your man, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: what do you say? Like luggage in the airport, right,
Speaker 1: keep your eye on your luggage, so at least you
Speaker 1: have half the field eliminated if he's rolling to his left,
Speaker 1: and for most quarterbacks that works. For Justin, I mean
Speaker 1: we saw him hit Cole Comett on the opposite side
Speaker 1: of the field, so it's like, you know, you just
Speaker 1: try and play your numbers as best you can and
Speaker 1: I hope they they end up in your favor, but
Speaker 1: you know, it just it was just I really wanted
Speaker 1: to see that thing go to overtime and I was
Speaker 1: just bummed about the kick. You know that was that
Speaker 1: was tough. Yeah, that was no question. This is bears

Speaker 1: of more questions here for Mark Sanchez, our guest, have
Speaker 1: you done a Falcons game this year? Yes? We did
Speaker 1: Falcons Rams, okay earlier in the year. Is that who
Speaker 1: you all have this week? Yeah? Sorry, I'm sowing in
Speaker 1: my zone. Yeah, no, I saw. I was wondering what
Speaker 1: you might have thought of the match up there, because
Speaker 1: he's going back to Georgia, there's gonna be emotions involved,
Speaker 1: no question. He played his high school ball there. The
Speaker 1: Falcons fans sounds like they wanted to be drafting Justin.
Speaker 1: They didn't do it, And uh, it's gonna be an
Speaker 1: interesting return home there to do that for Justin, probably
Speaker 1: emotionally and mentally and on the heels of what's been
Speaker 1: going on. You just mentioned a breaking records galore here
Speaker 1: and seemingly doing things. He's got forty eight rushing first downs.
Speaker 1: He's got the most rushing player of any position in
Speaker 1: the NFC and sixth in the NFL, and he's sixth
Speaker 1: in the NFL and rushing. I mean, it's it's you
Speaker 1: gotta admit, it's exciting stuff for fans, broadcasters and everybody because,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, for me as a broadcaster, you took
Speaker 1: the words out of my mouth because with Devin, at
Speaker 1: least I knew he was gonna catch the football and
Speaker 1: he was gonna run Justin. He's got the football and
Speaker 1: he's in charge of the whole show, and I don't
Speaker 1: know what he's going to do, and that makes it
Speaker 1: very contelling. Oh, it's so fun to watch. I think, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, DNPS is going to give them a million
Speaker 1: different looks. It's their defensive coordinator in Atlanta. You know,
Speaker 1: he'll give you the rolodex and you know you might
Speaker 1: not see the same coverage on third down for the
Speaker 1: first you know, six drives, and so that can get
Speaker 1: a little frustrating as a quarterback. The other thing, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna have to figure out what the
Speaker 1: plan is and decide that early. Are they gonna are
Speaker 1: they gonna try and pressure them or are they going
Speaker 1: to turn it into one of these games where let's
Speaker 1: force them the same way the Bears tried to do
Speaker 1: to Jared Goff. Let's force them to sustain fifteen play drives,
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen play drives, convert multiple third downs in
Speaker 1: a row, and you know, make it a war of
Speaker 1: attrition of sorts, and then you know, if we're gonna die,
Speaker 1: we're gonna die by a million and a half paper
Speaker 1: cuts and force them to be efficient on offense. And
Speaker 1: a lot of defenses are really turning to that style.
Speaker 1: Occasional pressure situationally to try and knock yet a field
Speaker 1: goal range. But for the most part, sitting back, you know,
Speaker 1: keeping the lid on the defense and nothing gets by it.
Speaker 1: You do your very best to stop the run. You
Speaker 1: have to be impeccable with your run fits and your
Speaker 1: gap assignment, which is not easy, especially the way Justin
Speaker 1: can move and those backs can move. I think they're
Speaker 1: one of their best personnels is having Herbert and Montgomery
Speaker 1: and Justin in the backfield, because that's a three headed monster,
Speaker 1: you know. I think that's probably one of their most
Speaker 1: explosive personnels. Then you get Comment and then you know,
Speaker 1: pick your poisoner receiver. If Nick kill Harry is healthy,
Speaker 1: then you get him and Claypool. Then you go like
Speaker 1: big across the board plus the two backs. I mean,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? You're gonna make some guys have
Speaker 1: to cover, and if they're going to cover on the edge,
Speaker 1: they've got to be physical with those two wideouts. They
Speaker 1: want to cover inside coal Comment good luck because he
Speaker 1: can really go. And then how do you want to
Speaker 1: stop that run game? You get your head knocked in,
Speaker 1: you know. So, in my opinion, I think that's one
Speaker 1: of their strongest offensive personnels. And then from Atlanta, just
Speaker 1: watching their stuff, it looks a lot like some old
Speaker 1: school organ stuff with Chip Kelly and Marcus Mariotta. A
Speaker 1: lot of their run game. Out of those multiple personnel's,
Speaker 1: heavy personnels, you'll get the multiple tight end sets and
Speaker 1: all that. I think those just make the defense go
Speaker 1: playing vanilla, getting a phone booth and kind of waded
Speaker 1: up in the middle, and then you let your quarterback
Speaker 1: run around and you have enough speed to get to
Speaker 1: the edge. And if you capture the edge in those personnels,
Speaker 1: I mean you're off to the races. So I like
Speaker 1: those for both sides. But it'll be a good matchup.
Speaker 1: And that's you know that they play hard. They played
Speaker 1: different than they did last year. I think this year's
Speaker 1: Atlanta team a lot like Detroit. They're in these ball
Speaker 1: games late, they're much more competitive, and they're working in
Speaker 1: the right direction. I expect every game for the rest
Speaker 1: of the season, no matter the opponent, will be interesting
Speaker 1: all the way to the fourth quarter. I just I
Speaker 1: just have that feeling and agree with that. Hey, Mark,
Speaker 1: we're out of time. We could talk to you for
Speaker 1: three hours. Great stuff. We appreciate the act. Thanks quarterback,
Speaker 1: you got all the knowledge. Brother, appreciate time. Good luck.
Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying this new career path for yourself.
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm sure you're you're you're treating it just
Speaker 1: like game day. So congratulation today. I'm having a blast
Speaker 1: looking forward to Thank you guys so much for having
Speaker 1: me man. Thanks Mark, Mark, Mark Sanchez working with Fox.
Speaker 1: He'll be working again this weekend as we will as well,
Speaker 1: and we come back, we'll break down a little bit
Speaker 1: more on the Bears and Falcons and today's latest injury
Speaker 1: news on Clil Herbert. This is Bears All Access on
Speaker 1: Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the Score. This segment of
Speaker 1: Bears All Access is brought to you by Athletical Physical Therapy.
Speaker 1: Visit Athletical dot com to request an appointed in clinic
Speaker 1: or virtually and start feeling better tomorrow. Jeff Joni account
Speaker 1: there as we wind down our Bearings as Access show tonight.
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez, he really gave you a quarterbacks perspective there
Speaker 1: and plus David Archer. We got some good stuff today.
Speaker 1: But so let's start talking about other things, Tommy, because
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with Grady jareded the interior, the offensive line,
Speaker 1: that'll be key. As he said, they don't have a
Speaker 1: star studded team by any means, but they do play hard,
Speaker 1: they do play fast, and I don't know exactly what
Speaker 1: their injury situation is. They made some changes in their secondary.
Speaker 1: They've had guys out A. J. Terrell's their best corner,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't played and I don't know he could
Speaker 1: be coming back this week in terms of practicing. But
Speaker 1: what are some things that have your attention aside from
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in this game? You know, it's kind of
Speaker 1: the speed at which they play with, But a lot
Speaker 1: of this gets instigated by Grady Jared on the defensive line,
Speaker 1: because when you talk about what ultimately they want out
Speaker 1: of the three tech MAC three technique defensive tackle across
Speaker 1: the board in the NFL FELL they want that immedia
Speaker 1: penetration to kind of create some dysfunction with the organized
Speaker 1: plan of the offense and then it allows all the
Speaker 1: other defensive players kind of to filter into their place.
Speaker 1: But I'm just interested in to see what type of
Speaker 1: scheme do they have that directly affects Justin fields, Like
Speaker 1: when we are talking to both Mark and David Archer,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a spy in the league
Speaker 1: that can put up with Justin speed, or if they
Speaker 1: have a guy that runs equally as well as he
Speaker 1: big enough to tackle him. So it's kind of intriguing
Speaker 1: every time you go out there. What are they going
Speaker 1: to do in the first quarter of their defensive scheme.
Speaker 1: It's an established defensive coordinating gamps. He's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: be challenging him for sure in that regard calling. All
Speaker 1: Bears fans get the ultimate VIIP fan package with Chicago

Speaker 1: and more by visiting Chicago Bears VIP dot Com. Tommy
Speaker 1: Khalil Hilbert We've mentioned at time of the show, looks
Speaker 1: like he's got a hip injury. He's gonna be on
Speaker 1: IR at least for the next four games. Six point
Speaker 1: zero a carry, best in the NFL over six hundred
Speaker 1: yards plus, he can catch. It's a it's a loss
Speaker 1: question about it. So David Montgomery truston Ebner. Maybe they
Speaker 1: bring up Darrington Evans as well, what's your take on it? All? Right?
Speaker 1: Like Darrington Evans and a lot of people haven't seen
Speaker 1: him because he's a member of the practice squad. He
Speaker 1: runs really well. He's got running back instincts that if
Speaker 1: you plug in there, you could give him an opportunity.
Speaker 1: I like Treston Ebner. I think he catches the ball
Speaker 1: well out of the backfield, but if he give him
Speaker 1: multiple carries to see how does he react to the
Speaker 1: physical part of the game that we've all talked about.
Speaker 1: But to me, if David Montgomery went to a one
Speaker 1: back show and what had a majority of the carries,
Speaker 1: I think that he could handle everything that's expected of him,
Speaker 1: from blocking to catching to carrying the ball. But how's this,
Speaker 1: Why don't we give a couple carries, a couple catches
Speaker 1: the kari blasting game? Thank you? He's the type of
Speaker 1: guy you put him in a one back feature, if
Speaker 1: you put him a catching balls out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: We saw make some unbelievable catches in training camp, So
Speaker 1: I would extend the responsibilities for carry blasting game. I
Speaker 1: would still have him be the blocker that he is.
Speaker 1: But man, I'd love to see that dude get four
Speaker 1: or five carries a game, whether they're short yardage or
Speaker 1: first down. I'd love to see it, and many in
Speaker 1: his career. But you know, there's got to be a
Speaker 1: wheel route in this game plan somewhere right, a wheel
Speaker 1: route or a quick car you know, I hope listen,
Speaker 1: I hope the wheel route comes from the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 1: and the wheel route doesn't come from Cordarrell Patterson because
Speaker 1: if you're gonna put him in motion, he's caught wheel
Speaker 1: routes before as a member of the Bears. One more

Speaker 1: dedication to be prepared when his opportunity was presented, even
