Plays um you know, 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.480 had a lot of turnovers last year, but played a 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.080 physical style of football, and we saw him make a 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.000 couple of plays this year, one in Denver with a 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.759 late interception and one in Detroit on third and five 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.520 that kind of sealed the win. So happy for him 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.720 and Bears news of the day. Yeah, he fills in, 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.120 gonna be with you guys, fills in for Jalen Ramsey 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.839 and already had to the offseason, some coaching moves around 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.080 the NFL, and a lot to talk about Jeff as 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.120 per usual. Yeah, we'll touch on Fuller and we'll be 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.280 joined by Kyle coming up here in the in a 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.640 few minutes. Clancy Brownie, the new tight ends coach out 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.800 of work in nineteen but two years of the Vikings, 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.880 but a long resume. And Jim no doubt you've run 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.440 into him over the years. He spent nine with the Broncos, 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.399 He's been with the Chargers and Falcons, and so his 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.839 reputation is what I'd say, this tight end centric offense. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.200 How many times have we said it? Think of the Broncos, 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.720 that style of offense that they use. I mean, think 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.040 of you know, even Kopiak out there with Owen Daniels 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.960 and stuff that they did, you know, brought him from 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.240 Houston over to Baltimore, and just how it's utilized. Look 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.240 at Kyle Rudolph, how he's developed into the tight end 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.520 he is. I think he's somewhat even under utilize this 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.480 year by Minnesota and Gary Kubiak offense, but they have 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.080 such talented running backs and Delvin Cook and the wide receivers. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.120 But BRONI well respected. But I do think that position 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.440 has got to get up to stuff, guys, It really does, 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.200 and I think that's why he was brought on board. Yeah, 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.320 a lot of experience here, a lot of experience in 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.440 coaching and multiple positions. Not only the tight end had 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.600 offensive line responsibilities, and I think when you're bringing a 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.880 new offensive line coach with a new tight end coach 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.320 and they have similar backgrounds, I really think it helps 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.800 that transition because you not only have tight ends working 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.920 with the offensive line, you have tight ends that are 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.359 converted to h backs and fullbacks. You have the running 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.280 back position. So there's a lot of different details that 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.519 it's not exclusively tight end because that position has expanded 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.720 so much. I like the experience aspect of it. You 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.959 go all the way back to Atlanta and they're used 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.200 to tight end. Algae Crumpler if you guys remember him, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.080 and certainly Antonio Gates in San Diego and the Chargers 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.919 were there. But you know that speaks well in our 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.919 meeting room. I really do believe that. And the combination 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.760 with the new offensive line coach and one Castio, you 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.519 can best be sure these two guys are going to 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.760 work on the running game. Yeah. You know, Wan Castio 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.640 doesn't have time to teach both his players and the 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.799 tight end coach, so he's going to have to come 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.960 in that someone that has got his feet in motion 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.919 already to what his responsibilities will be. Yeah, and he's 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.519 had offensive coordinator responsibilities before in his past. When you 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.280 look at coach Clancy, so I think again, I think 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.160 a lot of it has to do with scheme and 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.520 that they need to work much better together to get 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.440 more production out of both. You know, in terms of 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.560 a run game coordinator, pass game coordinate, how they work 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.040 in Unson. As Tom mentioned, sometimes those tight ends are 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.520 in the offensive line meetings rooms and they have to 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.800 work together as an inline tight end. And we know 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.120 they want to split them out and do all those things. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.680 So coach Perroni has done all that he really has, 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.200 and I think it'll be a good fit for the 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.280 Chicago Bears. But that is why that position had to 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.080 be addressed here this offseason right ends, combining for just 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.200 forty six catches, four hundred sixteen yards and two touchdowns. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.640 This is Bears All Access, brought to you by IGS 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.440 Energy here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the Score 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.080 with our producers Sean Anderson and Chris Dickens. Tonight, I'm 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.000 Jeff Joniac along with Tom and Jim as we take 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:21.599 a look at some of the news of the week 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.200 and news of the day. It does involve Kyle Folder 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.880 headed to the Pro Bowl again a second year in 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.200 a row. You look at his body of work over 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.839 the last three seasons, fifty five pass breakups in those 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.640 three years. But I know Tom and I just did 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.200 a bunch of breaking down plays the top plays of 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.160 the year for the Bears website that'll be coming out. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.520 And you know, you can't get past the idea that 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.560 to play corner on a physical defense, you want to 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.920 have a physical defense, you gotta have a physical corner. 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.640 And that play against the Lions really sticks out to me. 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.480 You know, isolated with a big back, you gotta get 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.520 him down to the ground by any means necessary. And 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.479 it was J. M. Kissick in that play, and it 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.360 did save the day. The Bears might have lost that game. Well, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.080 you know, you have to understand your responsibility when you're 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.440 to break the huddle, so because you don't want to 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:14.520 be influenced out of position just by the beginning motion 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.680 of an offensive play and when you go back in 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.040 your breakdown that play, Detroit Lions did everything to attract 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.200 the attention of Kyle Fuller to sink inside to where 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.440 a majority of the bodies were. Kyle never, He stuck 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.039 to what his assignment was and when that back tried 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.600 to bounce it out, he closed the distance. He made 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.640 that tackle. They went to kick the field goal, They 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.200 went up twenty to seventeen, and the Bears went down 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.159 the field and the scoring drive and ended up winning 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.240 the game. It was a signature played Big Jim on 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.680 that season. And before I get your thought on it, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.960 we could ask Kyle himself. He's joining us now here 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.440 on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the score not two 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.880 time Pro bowler Kyle Fuller of the Chicago Bears kind 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.080 of have to spend a few minutes with a Kyle, congratulations, 0:05:55.120 --> 0:06:04.760 my man, how you doing? And do we have Kyle Okay, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.320 we'll get to him sounds like we got him. Hello, Yeah, Kyle, 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.640 Congratulations Kyle, how you doing good? Thank you? So? Uh. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.520 You know, when you get that Pro Bowl alternate label, 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.440 you don't know for sure how that's going to work, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.880 but you did get the the sign today that you're 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.440 going to the Pro Bowl again. Capping off what really 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.120 is a body of work over several seasons for you, 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.799 just some really impressive numbers taking the ball away, pass breakups, 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.760 and you know, for a corner and a defense to 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.880 be a very physical defense, you gotta be willing to tackle, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.400 and you led the team in solo tackles in twenty 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.280 nineteen with seventy two. Is that sometimes gets lost when 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.479 you talk about corners on a defense. Is that area 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.400 something you're really proud of all the way back to 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:54.000 your college days? Yeah, for sure, definitely something as DBS, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.000 we all think pride in that. And yeah, you know, 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:02.560 just to Kyle throughout there several years of your career here, 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.440 where do you think you developed most physically or mentally? 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.159 Because you're you're on the field every week and then 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.400 we're just kind of bragging about one of your assignments 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.640 in the Detroit game on the third and five tackle 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.640 and it's you need to be you know, you need 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.480 to be doing everything equally, but physically or mentally. Where 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.680 do you think you've grown the most? Definitely mentally, but 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.120 I definitely think you know, Mike's you know, just my 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.360 experiences over the last six years and helped me, you know, 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.720 just as far as physically as well as far as 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.880 like things like tackling and leverage and things like that. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.320 So just having a good field of you know, being 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.040 in positions you know, whether the balls on the ground 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.200 or in there. Let me ask you this kind of one. 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.760 Congratulations Jim Miller. Good to talk to you again. And 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.640 we were just bringing up the play, the great play 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.280 you made on the kidzick against the Detroit Lions or 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.280 I'm looking thinking back now that great interception you had 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.000 out in Denver, and I know the season didn't go 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.240 the way you want to do. Even now we'll hear it. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.480 As the season is over, do you think about the 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.240 plays you didn't make or that you expect your self 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.480 to make during the year and how you evaluate yourself. Yeah, 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.160 at this time of the year, you definitely go back 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.720 in our self value and you see those those players 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.800 that you are diden making you just you know, you 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.440 kind of go into the offseason and trying to think 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.720 of ways, you know, in your preparation and you know, 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.680 your training things like that, you know, to go into 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.680 next year and you know, be able to make those 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.960 plays that I helped the team, Uh, you know win 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.800 ball games. Kyle full of our guests here on Chicago 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.440 Sports Radio six seventy The Score on Bears All Access, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.320 brought to you by IGS Energy. Kyle, it's over the 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.640 last three years, you've been targeted a lot, a lot 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.880 of balls thrown in your area and in many cases 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.280 to the dismay of the the opponent. But how do 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.199 you how do you evaluate that because three years ago, 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.200 I think it was twenty seventeen, you were number one 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.880 in the league. This year you were tied for first 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.320 and number of passes thrown in your your area code. 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.440 Is that also a sign of respect as well, because 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.280 you're likely, in many cases dealing with the top receiver 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.280 on that unit. Uh No, it's not too hich I 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.440 think about you know, I never really even uh you 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.000 don't know about that stat you know, I just I 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.360 think I go into every game, um, you know, just 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:07.679 trying to you know, do I have to do to 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.760 be in position. Um, and that's just uh, you know 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.760 a lot of work you know during the week. Um 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:18.000 you know. So, Kyle, what's your routine after the seat 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.400 because now you get you you're getting been notified you're 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.600 gonna play in the Pro Ball? Do you ever get 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.880 out of shape? Number one? And what is your routine? 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.000 Kind of always thinking, man, I could be in the 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.840 Pro Ball? Um if depending upon who stays and what 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.880 teams go. Oh yeah, you definitely definitely try to stay 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.800 in shape. Um. You know, so you take a couple 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.640 of weeks off maybe and uh, you know, just gradually 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.679 you know, just trying to you know, trying to keep 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.880 it a little bit of shape until uh, until you 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.240 really get started. You know about segruaries, so uh, you 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.520 know around once that time comes around, that's me you really, 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.120 me personally starts, you know really, um you know that's 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.680 when all season training really starts and uh, you know 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.840 all the way through pretty much.

One of four 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.520 Bears with Kaleo mac Deety Jackson and Cordarell Patterson. Patterson 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.320 Today guys named All Pro and Sporting News. So the 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.640 awards keep on coming for the kick return Star. Hey, 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.520 he deserves it. You know, this is a guy that 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.920 I think he's impressed every single one of us throughout 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.320 all of his efforts, you know, throughout the whole season. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.600 And I don't think you know, this isn't the life. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.160 I think we should expect more out of him because 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.000 of what he's been able to do for the Bears. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.520 And you know, do you give him more of opportunities 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.439 on offense or do you expect the same heroic type 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.600 plays from the special teams that he's been doing. But 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.439 you know, when you look at this guy and the 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.280 chances we've had to talk to him, you know he 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.040 is you know, he was a He's a running back 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.240 frame of mind type of guy. That's probably why he 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.000 plays so well on special teams. Yeah, that's been his 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.480 calling card. You know, he's really made his names as 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.360 himself as a special team's ace. And it's not just 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.720 in the recurrent turn game. We've talked about the gunner 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.600 part of it. I'll before it's just a mentality. You know, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.600 there's there's some great returners out there. Obviously Deante Harris 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.000 had a good year for New Orleans and me Cole 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.800 Hardman kind of burst out of the scene much like 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.880 Tyreek Hill did. But this guy still holds his own 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.200 and why everybody tips their cap to him when you 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.400 look at the Cordurell Patterson. So that's tremendous football player 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.280 and really his area of expertise that everybody has tried 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.359 to expand upon. It but man, he has remained consistent. 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.840 From the special team's aspect of it. They want to 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.200 get back to the Kyle real quick because you know 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.800 when I mentioned how many targeted throws are in his area, 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.040 and there's a lot of you know, one side coverage 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.960 and so forth in the Bears defense. But in seventeen 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.000 it was one hundred and seventeen and eighteen it was 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.080 one hundred and four in this past year ninety eight. 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.160 And that's a lot of targets over the course of time. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.440 So teams are giving him opportunities to make plays on 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.200 the ball. He did play off quite a bit this year, 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.280 so I think his past breakups went down significantly from 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.520 the last two years. He had forty three combined down 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.000 to twelve this year, but that that still has not 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.520 impacted his ability to make some plays. And so to me, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.439 that's significant to have a guy you can count on 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.800 at least one of those guys you need obviously three 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.600 starter grade corners and two really good ones in the 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.679 backup role to complement your defense. But I think you 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.360 really they got that one figured out with Kyle Jim. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.040 So when Jeff talks about all the numbers of Kyle fuller. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:10.640 Now does a does a defense create a scheme with 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:14.400 their defensive backs where they kind of invite throws to 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.280 one area because they know there's a good tackler, there's 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.880 a good space tackler, there's a physical corner. So is 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.880 are we talking about these numbers at this time because 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.240 they're inviting more throws over there? Yeah, I think a 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.240 lot of it. One because offenses are right hand dominant. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.120 And from the listeners out there, if you've got a 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:35.080 right handed cornerback, quarterback, excuse me, typically every team that 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.520 I've been on, I mean think about it, there's not 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.960 one left handed thrower in the NFL. Not one, not 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.080 one quarterback, not even on a practice squad. You know what. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.320 That's interesting? So because test well, think about it, because 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.720 if it was a left handed quarterback, they would be 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.480 left hand dominant dominant. What I mean is they would 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.160 line up tight end left. So by having a lot 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.520 of right handed quarterbacks, tight ends typically always to the right. 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.480 It's just how play callers have alway done it, no 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.200 matter if you're on the right, hash left, halsh or middle. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.320 Not always the case, but typically your right hand dominant 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.120 is how a lot of two because it's the front 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.560 side of the quarterback right and it's open, so you 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.760 get a lot of quarter quarter half is what a 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.480 lot of teams play right now, So you know it's 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.760 a credit to Prince and Mukamara, but he always has 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.360 safety help on his side. When you've got your tight 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.680 end to your right along with your z the flanker 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.800 out there split out. Fuller, as you mentioned, Jeff, is 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.840 more off because quarter quarter half is exactly how it sounds. 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.520 Fuller's got a quarter of the field. The inside safety, 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.440 whether it's Eddie Jackson or Haha, Clinton Dix, they've got 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.880 a quarter of the field and the backside is basically 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.800 a rolled up cover two. That's where you get the 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.560 half quarter quarter half. It's covered two to the backside 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.160 and basically it's kind of one on one to the 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.920 front side because Fuller is responsible for that whole area 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.640 out there, that whole quarter of the field, and so 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.480 you get a lot of hitches things like that because 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.800 he plays off a little bit, has to rally up 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.120 and make the tackles. So I think it's more of 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.960 the quarterbacks being right hand dominant and why they target 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.520 him more because he plays a little bit softer and 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.520 you know even talking, you know, and that's happened like 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.000 that the past couple of years because Vic fan Joe 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.720 did a lot of it, and obviously Chuck Pagano does 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.440 a lot of that too. Plus you do a lot 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.640 of man from that standpoint, he does play a lot 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.440 of man coverage as well. But I will say this, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:26.920 think of the plays, the great plays that we said, 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.360 whether it's the play of mckidzick against the Lions or 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.520 at the great interception against Denver where he reads it 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.320 makes me, guys, I just think of all the interceptions 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.120 that could have been a pick six where he's just 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.680 you know, he's almost there. He'd just like to see 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.360 him finish it a little bit more. So. He's good 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.120 right now, he could be even better. That's why I 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.160 brought up the question, like, man, do you think about 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.600 all the plays you missed? And I know it sticks 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.480 out in his brain time. I know you as a player, 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.440 like damn, I I I nailed that block one hundred 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.040 times out of one hundred times. How did I miss 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.520 it in this game? You know, it just happens to 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.240 all of us, you know, you know, Jim, I was 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.840 in Jeff, I was thinking of a funny story. Years back. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.040 I was at this coaching clinic and Jim Harball was speaking, 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.439 and this is when he was coaching at Stanford, and 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.400 he talked about how he had four right handed quarterbacks 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.520 and one left handed quarterback and that does present a 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.439 problem because you can't make the center snap left handed. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.000 The hand placement by a left handed quarterback is opposite 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.120 of what a right handed quarterback is. So he kind 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.720 of looked through solutions to this problem. Why make the 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.879 quarterback or the center snap left handed. No, that messes 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.919 up your balance everything. So what he did is he 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.639 had a left handed quarterback take the snap as a 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.280 right handed quarterback and then reverse the ball throughout his 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.960 drop to get ready to throw it. And it's weird 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.400 because there are those little dynamics whether you're a left 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.639 footed kicker and now the holder is completely off balance 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.359 because he's used to holding for right footed kickers and 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.639 those little things. You know, it challenges a coaching staff sometimes. 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.240 It's kind of interesting that there are no lefties. Not one. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.320 We've always had like Boomers Siason or a Steve Young. 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.840 There are not one. Not one. T would be Dave Craig. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.320 Was he a lefty. No, Dave Craig was a righty man. 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.760 Small hands, my all, We're gonna take another break.
