Coming up, we visit with 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.200 rookie Potter Tory Taylor. A portion of the interview from 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.480 our Bears Game Day live show, the player profile he'll 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.560 be featured this week, and here a portion of the 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.319 media gathering for offensive assistant coaches today from Bears quarterback 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.160 coach Kerry Joseph Tom, How you feeling, buddy. 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.400 You know, I was thinking about your interview with Tory Taylor. 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.480 He's probably the farthest interview you've ever done of a 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.520 Bears player, because I don't we haven't had anybody from Japan, 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.440 we haven't had anybody from Samoa or any of the 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.360 you know just where that the distance. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.960 Of that interview about Nigeria. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.400 I really enjoyed it, and I'm glad for the people 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.920 to get kind of in, not more not to be 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.240 introduced to him, but to see him and hear him 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.959 and let him talk, because he's a really neat person. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.440 Yeah, he really is. And you know when he got here, everybody, 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.120 well he's a older rookie. He's twenty seven years old. Yeah, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.840 it's a big difference in some of these twenty one 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:44.679 year old right. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.160 That experience twenty seventh, I think I was in my 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:48.840 eighth year. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.560 Right. Well, hey, look at Tremaine Edmonds. So let's talk 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.160 about the injury report for this real quick. It looks 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.040 like a little sickness going through the building a little bit. 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.000 Larry borm was back at practice. We taped this interview 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.120 on Thursday afternoon. But a couple of guys still dealing 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.120 with it. Roma duneesay he did not practice, and now 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.959 Kyler Gordon also, So it must be a bug going around. 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.720 There's a lot going around. Just don't don't get the 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.040 neurovirus because that's that's your hands. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.079 Yes, what I've been reading about it because I got 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.000 it a couple of years ago and it was something 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.960 that I awfully fought through during the late winter early spring. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.040 And so I've been reading about it and I've been 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.880 washing my hands just repeatedly and drying them with a 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.440 paper towel rather than aloth. 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.079 Wow, you're doing your homework. That's digging deep while you're 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:39.320 at it. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.640 While you're at it, what's the weather forecast at Lambeau 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.760 for a noon start. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.880 It's six for a low, twenty two for a high. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.720 It's gonna be windy and the peak heat, the peak 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.800 heat of the day is gonna be about eleven am. 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.919 So it's not gonna be comfortable conditions by any means. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.720 They said it should feel from zero to fifteen and 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:09.920 he snowed, no, not necessarily during the game. But I 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.240 could be wrong there, you know, but you know this 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.560 is going to be a This is going to be 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.200 a mental challenge to go out there and want to 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.799 put on that uniform and play with pride. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.600 And I don't know what the Packers will do. I mean, 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.280 they keep talking about, well, they got to get that 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.480 down to the details. Some of the details have gone 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.960 sideways for them a little bit. They've only lost to 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.040 three teams. They have been to lose twice, those to 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.040 the Lions and the Viking, So they. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.440 Can only go down one spot. I think they're the 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.880 seventh seed now. They can only go to six if 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.120 some things happen in front of them. However, you know, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.160 they've talked a little bit about what they're you know what, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.200 how what they were following and other times when they 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.119 had home field advantage and such, and it always came 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.000 back to haunt him. So I think every coach, no 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.880 matter how much you do it, even including a guy 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.760 like Andy Reid, is always searching for the right answer. 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.360 How do you handle your roster in the last week 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.200 or two of the season. And no bigger story in 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.640 the NFL than Sakwon Barkley. Here's a guy that has 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:15.080 a chance to set a record that very few people 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:19.240 will ever have the chance in their football lifetime, and 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.520 they're gonna forego that attempt at that record, and he's 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.120 gonna set it out. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.240 Right in the name of trying to stay healthy and 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.920 win a Super Bowl. So that's the Packers. Either are 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:34.240 gonna play the Eagles or the Rams. So you know, 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.920 you can't like pick your poison. You got to go 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.440 out and do what you gotta do to get ready 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.279 for the playoffs. So they're gonna be a six or seven. Now, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.719 if you were being an analyst about this, who would 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.960 be the opponent you wouldn't want to face if you're 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.560 the Packers, the Eagles or the Rams. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.640 I would rather not play Philly in Philly because the 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.400 support of their fans are not going to sell tickets 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:02.119 to green Bay in LA. That'll be three quarters green 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:06.000 Bay fans there and it'll be like a mini vacation 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.880 post holiday home field advantage. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.599 For the Packers. 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.920 Interesting analysis from Big Time. We're brought to you by 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.479 P and C Official Bank of the Bears. A lot 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.040 of injured players for the Packers, most notably the jy R. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.280 Alexander still working through a knee they put him out 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.159 for the season. Maybe if they made it to the 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.159 Super Bowl. He might be ready to go, but a 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:29.000 PCL tear, a couple concussions, ankle injuries from the defense, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.240 and so forth. But overall, let's talk about it because 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.640 Jordan Love is now doing his job of protecting the 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:40.080 football six straight games without an interception, because the interceptions 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.080 were starting to mount. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:41.320 A little bit. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.640 But what I've noticed on every bit of analysis of 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.960 the Packers time is, and this is leading into not 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.040 so much about this game, but about the Bears future, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.520 because we've been talking about scoring points for a very 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.880 long time around here, not just this season, but years. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.920 The Bears have not been able to score a no 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.880 points to stay competitive in a highly competitive offensive league. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.680 And the Packers are scoring points at every turn. They 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:11.320 score quick, They score quick, quick drives, less than four plays, boom, 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.520 They're on you. They score in the first quarter, they 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.480 score in the third quarter, they score at the end 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.320 of games, they score off turnovers. They are scoring points, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.160 and so is the rest of the division. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.000 Right But you know, go look at the rest of 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.200 the division, and you look at the lack of vertical 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.640 threat by the Bears. You know, because we are reading 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.400 a stat the other day on Bears game Night Live 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:36.120 about or Justin or Caleb with passes over twenty yards 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.360 and he had a really limited percentage of success rate. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.840 Where you look at some of those other plays that 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.239 you know, the big play to Williamson against the Bears 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.800 on the play action, the big play to Watson against 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.400 the Bears the last time. That's where the Bears have 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.920 to get. They have the components. They have their row 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.560 in Dunesday, they have a Tyler Scott, they have a 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.400 DJ Moore, you know Cole kmet for that man. When 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.960 you look at the other tight ends within the division, 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.719 and that's where the Bears have to get. They have 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.200 to become a vertical team as much as they are 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.320 a horizontal team. And I will preface this because I 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.760 think Caleb Williams is one of the most efficient horizontal 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.560 passing quarterbacks to give the playmakers an opportunity to get 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.080 their ball, get the ball on their hands quickly. But 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.800 it's about vertical if you're talking about four play scoring drives, right. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.800 I think the conversation both from Thomas Brown and from 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.360 Chris Beatty, he was very honest at the podium today 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.280 and also listening to Kerry Joseph, we'll hear a portion 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.080 of that just about where you're at in the pocket, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.600 whether it's shotgun or if you take it under center, 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.560 and where you're lurching up to in the pocket. You know, 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.200 they mentioned Patrick mahomes on a deep drop giving him 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.880 more space to the lunge up in the pocket as 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.040 opposed to a short lunge up in the pocket. And 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.880 now you're bumping into the pass rush or you're bumping 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.440 in your ownfense. That may make sense to me. How 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.800 does that work for you? And how do you coach 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.480 a quarterback to do that in a way that gives 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.800 him more time in the pocket to lurch up there. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.840 And yeah, yeah, I agree with everything you're talking about 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.480 because life in the pocket is unpredictable and it could 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.320 change every single play depending upon the down and distance 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.520 and the type of rush that they're going to put 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.400 at you, and where is the vulnerabilities of your protection. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.840 But it's part of getting your quarterback within the same 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.920 system for a number of years, so they know it 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.560 so perfectly that they can make a decision how to 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.400 create life in the pocket without having to think about it. 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.680 And when you talk about those other quarterbacks who have 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.920 showed evidence of that. It's about being in that system 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.560 for a period of time. And listen, I think Caleb 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.960 has got really clever feet. He's got a lot of 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.080 different accuracy with the different arm angles. He's got vision 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.040 that he can use the entire width of the field, 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:02.199 So all the components that quarterback needs to have success 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.000 at what you're talking about life in the pocket, He's 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.440 got it. He's just got to be within the same 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.839 terminology over a number of years that he repeats it 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.000 so much that he knows it better than anybody else 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:14.880 in the building. 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:15.199 Right. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:21.480 That's why I don't love all the change. And some of. 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:27.040 It's necessitated, obviously, but the change. Everybody always clamors for change. 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.240 But that does not help your rookie quarter It does 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.640 not help your young quarterback. It doesn't happen. You know, 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.560 every few years of your making changes, you're just delaying growth. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.120 In my opinion, I don't care how good you are. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:39.240 You know. 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.640 One example, my example is an offensive lineman. So we 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.160 had an offensive line coach in the Usfla's name was 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.960 John Payne, and he was even number holes to the right, 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.040 odd number holes to the left. And when I came 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.920 to the Bears, it was opposite. It was odd numbers 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.640 to the right. And that's just one little detail. That's 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.160 some offensive lineman has to put that in his memory 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.440 bank that he never steps in the opposite direction. And 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.120 there was one time that Mark Boards and I were 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.640 supposed to pull to our right. Mark Borts pulled to 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.600 his right and I pulled to my left and we 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.360 had a collision right behind center. So listen, man, the 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:24.000 quarterback has got a thousand more things that the offensive 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.160 lineman has to understand. But you know, if you can 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.280 get put in that same system like I had the 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.839 luxury of being in for eight years, then all that 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.800 stuff becomes second nature to you and everybody knows it. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.280 Yeah, that's rare, though, man, that that kind of time. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.079 I mean, I mean you're seeing it in Detroit and 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.880 like half of what you did. I mean, you know, 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:50.360 four years or whatever. I just in this league anymore. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:55.319 It's almost unattainable because of things such as free agency, 0:10:55.400 --> 0:11:00.640 which you get you guys didn't have the injuries situations 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.040 a little more acute, it seems, you know, for a 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.360 variety of reasons. I think, yeah, it's just there's and 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.200 then you get a good offensive coordinat and they get 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.320 plucked away to go be a head coach somewhere. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.120 Right, Well, say you get a good head coach that's 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.280 an offensive mind, a head coach, and there's somebody within 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.880 the chain of command that you started admiring because we 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:24.240 always talk about this Shanahan tree or this this Andy 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.880 Reid tree or these different trees that have existed around 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.480 the NFL for years. And as soon as you're part 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.839 of that tree and someone goes, man, I'm going to 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.080 take that branch and see what it can do for 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.600 my team. Even though he's not the head coach. Man, 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.000 I'm going to give him the first shot as an 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.800 offensive coordinator, you know, whatever title you want to give him. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.440 Nowadays, juelosco one of our sponsors, appreciate you and have 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.160 a new or gently used coat land around. Head to 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.839 your local jewelast Goo until February tenth and donate one 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.680 of your new or gently used coach to the thirty 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.640 sixth annual Chicago Bears Coach Drive. Helped keep Chicagoans warm 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.920 this winter. We got cold weather blown in for a 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.120 few weeks here in jam It's going to be pretty 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.680 nasty in Chicago. Ever brought to you by PNC Official 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.320 Bank of the Bears. All right, let's dip into Carry Joseph. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.040 Caleb Williams is thrown for the most completions, best completion percentage, 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:16.120 most yards, most passing yards, most passing touchdowns by a 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.120 rookie in Bear's history. With one game to go and 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.960 he avoids an interception, he would tie Jim Harbaugh's nineteen 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.079 ninety season when Tom Theaory was protecting him for fewest 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.520 interceptions thrown by a Bears quarterback with a minimum of 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.640 ten game starts. He's at six right now. I think 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.160 Jim also was at six, so if he stays there, 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.360 he would keep him tied for the nineteen ninety season. Anyway, 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.280 here's Carrie Joseph a variety of topics from the local 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.160 media asking him about Caleb Williams learned. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:49.680 Small things, whether it be protection, really nail that and 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.400 then move to the next one. Whether it be coverages, 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.480 move to the next one, whether it be different pressures 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.080 on a defense, understanding how defenses fit, how they attack 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.800 you as an offense or as a quarterback, and not 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.920 try to digest too much at one time. Just take 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.320 small buckets the same way you gotta play the game 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:09.800 and keep the game small. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.120 It's the same way you got to study the game, 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.719 and and learning with Thomas expresses so much. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.600 I don't know, dangerous right, worry, but but uh a 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.880 trap on a guy that's really hungry to learn confall 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:22.480 into of trying to learn too much at once. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.000 It is, it is, And I think when you have 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.040 a plan it offsets that trap. Cause if you got 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.040 a plan and you follow that plan and you're disciplined 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.800 to that plan, it a it won't let you get 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.120 too far ahead, if that makes sense to you. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.920 Having Thomas said there right with you guys when he's 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.680 passing later from the very beginning, so. 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.160 You got to see him in that role to where 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.320 he's at now, and it's different. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.160 How how have you seen him grow as a coach 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.720 going from that like and just being around and probably 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.640 more than maybe some other position. You know what I have, uh, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.120 just my first year working with him and just his command, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.200 his positive energy, and I really commend him and I 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.679 told him that you know, the things that he had 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.520 to go through in a short period of time, he's 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:05.679 really handled that well. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:10.240 And you saw that he knew he didn't he didn't 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.120 have to do it himself. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.920 You know, that's one thing I I watched him and 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.280 he knew that, Hey, I can lean on other guys around, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.280 other coaches and to help me alone with this process. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.360 And you can just see, uh, just his process when 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.600 he first went into the coordinator road and then he 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.080 had to step in as the head coach, just trying 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.640 to figure out that process and also still be in 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.720 the quarterback room and uh, just working with him, like 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.640 when he had to leave out, Hey, kJ you take it. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:35.800 You know, you talk about it. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.240 I mean I was always an extension of him, still 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:42.360 theirs and uh, it was just tremendous to watch him 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.520 grind through that that process, cause it's not easy and 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.360 uh but you saw he never flinched, never complained. He 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.920 just comes in every day with the same attitude and 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.160 uh brings the same energy. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.360 Was Jerry Chris said last week that that Caleb is 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.800 still learning how to learn, particularly within this season, on 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.240 how to how to study, how to prepare. What do 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.080 you think the next step is in that regard of 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.520 him understanding and signed the season, how to how to 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:04.640 get himself ready with. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.720 It's just that that whole process of of finding that routine. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.880 You know, everybody has that routine. One of the things 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.360 I shared with him, uh the other day of uh 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.440 leaning on guys around the league. You know, that s 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.320 six guys that have had success. You know I mentioned 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.480 some names. Of course, he's gonna find his guys, whether 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.080 it be guys that are playing now, on the guys 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.800 that have played MM, find out what they did, find 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.280 out you know what he did. Find out what he did, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.480 find out what he did right, and the just s okay, 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.000 what fits or what I can take and put into 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.640 my routine. That's gonna be part of that process through 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.040 the off season. Cause excuse me. Talent is confidence. It 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.400 gets you here, not a preparation. Brings you more confidence 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.000 to keep you here and to keep you growing and 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.240 keep you getting better. And that's what that's the process 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.200 for him now of finding out what works for him 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.720 and that routine and uh, and that's our job too, uh, 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.520 you know, but part of his coaches to help him. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.280 But at the same time, players that kind of find 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.440 their own little niche and. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:58.560 And and he will. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.880 What's the hardest part of a rookie your figuring that out, Uh, 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:03.560 you're going through in the first time and not really 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:04.320 having the answers. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:09.040 I just think it all about that discipline and keeping 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.960 the small things small and not trying to I have 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.760 to know everything right now, because it's impossible. You're not 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.840 gonna know everything right now. Teams are gonna throw different 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.840 things that you. You're gonna learn things along the way, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.520 but you gotta be careful not to skip anything within 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:26.120 the process. 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.080 When you talk about him mental things to to pair 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.480 with this town, what is the process of that in 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.000 the winter and spring right like in the next six months. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:35.960 Once once Sunday, I. 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.360 Answered, it's, uh, it's just studying film, you know, like 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.920 going uh cut up all of it, cause I do 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.000 it as a coach, So that's gonna be my thing 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.720 to give to him to talk about. And all my completions, bo, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.720 why I had these completions, all my incompletions? 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.920 Why was it? Was I late with my footwark? Now? 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.360 Did I s Did I not see something in the coverage? 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.440 My sacks? Was that on me? You know? Did a 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.360 guy just missed? Did a hold on to the ball 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:02.800 too long? 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.000 All those things there, being able to see it and 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.640 being able to continue to study it and then also 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.520 studying other people thing. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.280 Why is he so good? That's what you learn, that's. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.040 Where you grow and get with them and knowledge in 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.080 the all season, and then how you bring that back 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:18.920 to OTA's I think you just got to study. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.040 You got to be a student the game in the 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:20.600 all season. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:22.399 Also, what are your takeaways? 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.000 Carrie's been a lot of He's been around a lot 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.159 of offenses as the player and a coach. He's been 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.440 around a lot of quarterbacks that go about their business differently, 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.280 because no two quarterbacks are exactly alike. He talked about 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:39.760 the examples that maybe Caleb should go in research and 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.040 get to know or pick their brain or get an 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:47.680 understanding about how they go through their learning process, whether 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.040 it's for a game, a third down, a particular type 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:56.440 of defense. And he talks about the tons of different 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:00.359 details that a quarterback must master in order to become 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.280 a quarterback that has the talents of Caleb. And that's 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.520 what we sit here and talk about weekly about how 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.439 talented of a kid he is, but how long that 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:16.800 he needs to be digesting this volume of quarterback information 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.560 so everything becomes second nature to him. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.359 And it sounds like, you know, you don't get time 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:25.080 off if you're the quarterback it's you know, it's one 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:29.119 thing you guys would take some time, maybe a short 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.240 period of time and hit back in the weight room, 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:35.840 But this is different. It's that plus studying tape, plus 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.600 studying coverages. I mean, it's a full time gig. There 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.080 is no off season. 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.800 When you're a young man like Caleb. When I was 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.720 a young offensive lineman and I would just so badly 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.640 wanted to play for a long time. If the season 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.520 ends with excitement like it did the Super Bowl year, 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.120 you take a week off. If it ends with disappointment 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.200 like it did again the Washington Redskins, that was the name, 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.480 when we got beaten the playoffs by them, then you 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:08.480 took a week off and you got right back in 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.200 the weight room because your desire didn't change. Whether you 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.359 ended the season winning the Super Bowl or you lost 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.320 in the playoffs. You still were concerned about making sure 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.520 that you held that upper hand on all that competition 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.040 that was in line behind you. And when you talk 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.000 about a quarterback, there's a lot more mental approach to 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.600 the importance of the game than there was an offensive lineman. 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:33.880 For us, it was more weightroom dedication. 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:35.880 Tastes like Miller time go to middle of Night dot 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.480
