WEBVTT - Justin Jones on young Bears' defense | All Access Podcast 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.200 Here alive on the scene. Now the Bears back at 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.000 it today, Tommy at least meetingwise, a little walk through 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.920 off tomorrow, and then practice week gets underway. In NFL terms, 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.680 Thursday is really Wednesday. Friday's Thursday, Saturday is Friday, and 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.760 Sunday is Saturday. Yeah, you know it's Mattieberflus is working smart. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:24.360 I think what you want to do is you want 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.840 to allow these guys to recoup mentally and physically get 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.400 them back at practice when you have enough time to 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.159 insert the game plan. And you know, they call it 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.159 a mini bye week, but it's really not. It's a 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.519 couple days off. Because you play on Thursday night and 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.319 then you get a chance to play on Monday, when 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.720 they really do have the bye week. You can significantly 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.360 relax from the game and kind of forget about it 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.599 for a couple of minutes. Here, you really don't get 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.040 a chance to forget about it because you have to 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.080 keep it fresh in your mind. You can't come out 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.960 here and you know, forget an assignment or two along 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:01.360 the way. So it's about staying in the moment, you know, 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.640 Like Dick always used to say, you can't turn the 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.480 key off and then turn it on immediately. It's at 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.560 the beginning of the season. Once you turn it on, 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.320 it's on till the end. Yeah. But while you say that, 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.440 you know they had the short week, so it was 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.680 really walkthroughs. And this week you won't practice till Thursday, 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.760 so it's six days since the game, so they really 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.559 haven't practiced a lot. I think he's going to Mattie 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.320 Brouflus will get a little bit more individual work, get 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.120 the techniques that they've researched that they need to improve 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.840 upon each player. Three good things, three things they need 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.000 to work on, was the conversation they had with their 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.200 position coaches today. So it should be a much fresher 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.959 team headed to New England on Monday. Yeah, but you know, 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.280 this team has always been fresh. They have a good attitude. 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.280 They come out and they work hard. You saw some 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.680 of it that, you know what, we saw instance of 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.120 that in training camp when we are up here and 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.440 they would be eighty five to ninety five degree day, 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.200 they go out there and they were to work hard, 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.160 and they'd work fast, they'd practice hard, and then they 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.560 had to do the same thing the next day. So 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.640 I've always been impressed by this football team. The energy 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.360 that they carry on kind of an everyday basis and 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.520 every game basis so far up until you know, until 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.880 the end of the game because they've they've been in 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.640 some halftime scenarios. We didn't know what was going to happen, 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.200 and they came out and play their best football. Right, 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.760 They've yet to have a lead in the you know, 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:26.080 at halftime, and they are still two wins out of that. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.720 But you got to finish, and that's been the frustrating thing. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.560 You heard it from Justin Fields Jalen Johnson today. Yeah, 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.320 you know, they're trying to keep it positive in the 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.840 coaching end of things, but the players know. The players 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.919 know that they could have had these games and that's 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.600 the frustration part of it that they have to overcome. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.120 With that being said, the things that need to be 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.040 worked on, aside from the obvious and finishing the rest 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.160 of them are kind of obvious, and those were pinpointed 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.880 today by mattieberflus One. They got to get the passing 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.160 game going and protecting Justin Fields and getting rid of 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.400 the ball quicker on defense, got to stop the run. Yeah, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.000 you know, the offensive part of it is a more 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.480 difficult solution I think than the defensive part of it, 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.760 because when you talk about the offensive component to improvement, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.520 it's making sure that you're starting to understand the terminology 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.840 perfectly and not just you know, I, oh, I know 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.760 it pretty good, or I you know, I could probably 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.920 go in there and get a bee on a test. No, 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.040 that doesn't work. It's about knowing this stuff perfectly. So 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.560 when you talk about timing, you talk about offensive line protection, 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.639 getting the ball out of Justin's hand, you know, being 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.760 more protective of himself so he can be in it 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.760 for the long haul. Those things are all curable, but 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.680 it's a constant process of correction when you talk about 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.120 offensive football, and you need to be in the same 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.320 system for a period of time, so you do and 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.120 you can do it perfectly. Defense, you know, when they 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.160 brought in this defense and they instill installed this front, 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.840 guys were making position changes. Roquan Smith, for example, going 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.160 from an interior linebacker in a different style of defense 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.559 to be in a kind of an edge middle linebacker 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.560 in this defensive front with more defensive lineman in front 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.680 of you. So, like I said, I've never been disappointed 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.040 in the energy that these guys show up every week 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.440 with but it is about the finishing, the end result. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.320 And it's a young team, one of the youngest in 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.760 the league started the season I think tied for eighth 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.520 youngest overall roster. But they've played significant snaps more than 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.640 any other team in the league. Rookies have played a 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.120 lot of that is on special teams, coverage units seven 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.040 eight rookies on these coverage units, punt and kickoff return. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.720 But overall, you just got to find a way to 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.560 score points and that has been even pre dating this administration. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.800 The difficulty for the Chicago Bears scoring touchdowns. Then point 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.560 of emphasis the red zone. You know, everybody that watched 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.040 the game last week, they saw how many opportunities the 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.440 Bears had in the red zone than they failed to score. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.680 Then you look at the Giants game when they had 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.560 red zone opportunities early in the game and they failed 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.119 to score touchdowns and they end up getting field goals. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.640 So what do you learn from that? You learn when 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.320 you get into the red zone you have to have 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.520 a game plan that you're one hundred percent confident in 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.960 that you know that when you get inside that twenty, 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.560 you get inside the ten and you get as close 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.039 as the five yard line that the end result has 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.440 to be touchdowns. This is not a team right now 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.600 that can go out there and get by with field goals. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.960 One way to improve or defense and allow them to 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.719 play more aggressive and take more chances is by getting 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.800 a lead. And so I think all those different components 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:36.000 can help the overall team have more wins attached to it. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.719 Some business today a Mere Smith March set the former 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.039 Minnesota Viking wave today Asaiah Coulture. It was on the 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.560 roster last year for a minute. I think he had 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.320 one target last year. He comes off the practice wid 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.800 to help out at receivering. Nakil Harry should likely get 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.520 snapps this week against his old team. I would think. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.200 I hope he does. But you know, even if he does, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.279 we don't know a lot about him because Nikkil Harry 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.480 came here, you know, former first round or big body. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.920 The type of guy that you know is you can 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.039 tell the game means a lot to him because you 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.520 don't look like that without putting effort into it. But 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.239 Nakil Harry, you talk about the timing between the receiver 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.000 and the quarterback. He needs to have a couple hundred 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.360 reps with Justin just to understand, just to get to 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.000 know each other a little bit, and then they need 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.919 to find, you know, five or six pass plays and 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.239 they need to repetitiously go over those another hundred times 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.640 during the course of a week. So yeah, I'm excited 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.680 to see Nakil Harry, but it's not gonna be you know, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.760 plug and play type of performance. Happy birthday today, Thank 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.400 you to eighty three year old and Mike Ditka the 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:50.120 Coach about that Happy Birthday, Mike. This week also Steve 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:55.560 McMichael Battling Als the Fight of All Fights also celebrated 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.880 to sixty fifth birthday yesterday. Last week it was Mike Singletary, 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.800 it's hard to look I'm sixty. I know you're sixty one, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.560 but it's hard to look at the eighty five Bears. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.200 You're sixty one. No, I'm not. You should be, you know, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.640 I feel like I'm much more than sixty one, our 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.400 sixty rather but it's hard to think of Ditka the 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.680 Bear because you guys had so much vibrancy. You ruled 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.200 the ruled the roost of Bears fandom, and now you 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.320 guys are on the other side of sixty it's so 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.520 hard to think about that. Don't you feel the same 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.560 way a little bit? I know, I feel good. I 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.920 feel like I'm not that just knowing that you guys 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.840 are all at this point, of course I do, because 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.720 you know, I grew up in this day. I grew 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.320 up in Joliet. So you know you're a Bears fan 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.600 and that's the team you're committed to, because when I 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.200 was growing up, you didn't have all these different avenues 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.400 of NFL distraction with the red zone and turning on 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.280 any station device, yeah device in getting any team you 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.920 want to listen to. You know, you were born bread 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.880 and you know with the with the Bears. And so 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.760 when you walk in there for the very first time, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.320 you see that team and you see Ditka, and you 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.080 see all the guys that you read about and saw 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.080 on TV. And it's a special group of guys. But 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.240 it's the kind of the guys that walk around at 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.160 the same confidence today, whether you're eighty eighty three, sixty 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.840 three or you know, however old, we are unique to 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.640 that bunch, Yeah, no question. I just you know, we 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.560 all can daydream what it would have been like for 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.080 that team playing in twenty twenty two. I don't know 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.040 you guys might have been in a lot of trouble. 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.760 We would whip anybody you would on and off the field. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.160 All right.

Yeah, get a good 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.760 break and get the get the mind right and the 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.679 body right, the spirit right for the next eleven games. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.240 I guess as a bye week, then come to week fourteenth. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:21.640 So you got a ways to go before you get 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.040 a true break from the game. Yeah, man, I'm not 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:25.760 even thinking about the bow you got on is Lea. Man, 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.640 it's so far away to you know. If I start 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.800 thinking about it now, you know, it just makes it go, 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.679 It makes it, you know, longer. So, how do you 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.400 like the weather change? I don't. Don't you know? Have 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.280 you been in the climate change of the four seasons 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.960 very much in your life? Because you got drafted on 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.240 the West coast? You grew up in a down in Georgia, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.080 So you know, as this temperature starts to change, how 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:50.840 do you like that? You know? So I went to 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:55.280 Anthy's date and uh January February, and uh in North 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.720 Carolina it gets pretty cold. We'll get we get maybe 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.760 like sixteens of snow. So you know, I'm I'm pretty 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.480 good right now, I have I haven't got the uh, 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.720 the extreme cold yet, so it's coming. Yeah, I heard 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.520 to revisit the San Francisco game. Was that the wettest 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.160 game you've ever played in in your life? Or have 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.840 you faced that before? Because I think in all the 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.960 years and the all the years I played, and all 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.360 the years of end broadcasting, I've only maybe seen two 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.760 that bad in our time. What about Yeah, I've played 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:31.080 it much worse. Yeah, So we played Notre Dame my 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.080 junior year in uh college and we were the only 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.000 game all because it was a hurricane and we played 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.400 in the middle of the hurricane. They was the only 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.480 game they didn't cancel. And uh yeah, it was like 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.080 four to five inches of water on the ground, maybe 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.080 six and like every time you step, like your cleat 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.880 just like disappeared into the water on the field. And 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.200 we did. We did. We want we wanted to block punt. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.280 You know, he's a domer. I want to Notre Dame. Really. Yeah, 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.400 I'm so sorry. No, I'm I'm I'm happy to see 0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:59.959 because you know, that was one of the cool things 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.040 is when you had an opportunity to play schools like 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.520 that that they weren't in just on the irregular schedule. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.000 So it was a great experience to go out there. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.679 And did they get you all hyped up to make 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.560 sure you beat Notre named Uh yeah they did. They did. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.199 They said, you know, raining or sewn, you know, it 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.760 doesn't matter. You know, we're gonna put the ball down 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.320 to play. And that was the biggest I was like 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.400 our montre there to put the ball down and you know, 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.400 we'll play. Were you playing inside defensive tackle? I was? 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.760 I was. My defensive line was actually pretty good. Oh 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:32.000 my gosh, yeah, listen, listen, pretty good. Bradley Chubb, you know, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:36.400 you know, Bradley Chub, B J Hill, Contavious Street, Justin Jones. 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.640 And then last week on the broadcast to Washington had 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.200 their starting defensive and I was blowing the guy up. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.720 Now I'm gonna forget his name. Uh he was on yours. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.000 James Smith Williams. Yeah, James Smith Williams had a couple 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:52.120 of sacks the week before. So it's like defensive line 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.800 you over there, you guys were something called the pack pros. 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.719 I guess you guys called each other pack pros is. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.240 Just like everybody who went to the anybody okay, anybody 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.360 in the league, Okay, yeah, but that that that was 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.200 something special. That's rare. Get a whole defensive line drafted. Yeah, yeah, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.600 that was that was something real special that we had. 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.880 You know, we all, well three of us were roommates 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.480 when we first got in there, so you know, it 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.320 was pretty cool just to you know, grind with those 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.440 guys and you know, just see the change, you know, 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.959 and everybody's bodies and their mentality and their knowledge of 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.120 the game, and you know, just apply to the field. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.240 It was a beautiful than to see. Crazy thing though, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.120 real quick, Tom is because back and you and I 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.560 talked about this on some show. Maybe you're on with 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.960 us before. But I find it interesting that so, you know, 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.600 you bounced around. You were from the Bronx. Are you 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.320 a Yankee fan? Okay, they're beating Cleveland and the Alds 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.800 should be wrapping up and headed to the Als. Yes, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.880 but then you're down to Georgia. You know, you look, 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.600 take a look at Georgia. Right. They told you you're 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.600 two inches too short, right? They told me I was 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.959 too short to play. Clemson told you, yeah, sorry, you're 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.079 too short at defensive tackle. But you know, you look 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.839 at a lot of these defensive tackles in the league. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.800 Six two, six three, What are you now, I'm six 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.080 two and a half. It's working, Yeah, it's working. You know, 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.839 fifty year in the NFL. It's like the short arm 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:11.040 thing with tackles. It drives Tom nuts. You know, Hey, 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.120 if you got leverage, you're gonna win. Yeah, that's true. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.440 You know you got game, you got game. I'm gonna 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.640 how big you you know, Aaron Donald played at two 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.000 sixty five, two sixty and I've also seen other d 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:22.760 tacks who play at three forty, you know, and they're 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.040 great players. So it doesn't matter, you know, how good, 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.080 how good you are with you know what you got. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.439 You know, when when you go to the combine, they 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.600 put your back up against the wall and then they 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.400 tell you to raise your toes up and then they 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.040 put that ruler down. Oh yeah, because you know, I 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.319 went through my whole life in my high school program. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.080 I was six to five and then I went to 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.600 the combine. It was sixty three and three fours, and I, 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.040 you know, you're losing money by every half anch for sure. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.199 For sure. I definitely thought I was about to be 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:51.800 in there and be like six three and a half, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.760 maybe six four if they if my hair was nicely on. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.079 So they got me at like six two and a 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.760 half and I was like, oh man, but it's all good. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.800 So the combine was actually a crazy experience. You know, 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.040 you everybody sees it on TV, but that whole of 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.080 the schedule they got going on over there, it's really 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.000 really really draining. It's crazy. You know. When I came 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.440 out of college, we used to have to go to 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.720 three different combines. We had to go to one in Detroit, 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.160 one in Tampa, and one in Seattle and do the 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.080 whole thing each time. But I was reading reports about 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.680 you and they said, oh, they had projected you to 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.360 be a fifth or six rounder, but you went in 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.120 the third round. Yeah. Did that surprise you? Or did 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.920 when you went to the combine? Did you say, Hey, 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.120 I'm as good as any one of these guys that 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.320 I'm competing against. We pretty much already knew where I 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.960 was gonna go, you know, before the draft. Like now 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.280 I wouldn't say after the combine, but I mean before 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.440 the combat. But after combin we pretty much knew exactly 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.240 where I was gonna go. But you know, we really 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.800 got to feel for after the Senior Bowl. You know, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.080 I had a pretty good Senior Bowl coming out of college, 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.760 and that kind of boosted my draft stock. Really. Uh, 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.400 did you like the Senior Bowl because I I, you know, 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.440 I went to the Hula Bowl because I didn't want 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.880 to go to something as serious as a Senior Bowl 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.360 because back in the days they had you do in 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.280 double days, it was full pads and everything was legit 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.240 pro style. Yeah, you know, you know, now that I've 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.560 been in the league a couple of years, the singer 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.920 Bowler we had back then was not pro style at all. 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:11.920 It was more so, you know, just to see who 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.400 who can play the best one they're tired, and obviously, 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.280 you know, they watched the past rush snaps, so that 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.840 was kind of all the drills everybody really wanted to see. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.480 But after that we got a whole hour and thirty 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.000 minutes after practice, so you know, we basically spent that 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.760 condition and you know, doing team reps. So you know, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.760 for me, that's not really a pro practice to me, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.840 but you know, it was a good, good opportunity to showcase, 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.920 you know, the skill sets and everything, and you know 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.160 in those drills and especially when you're tired. You know, 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.640 that's that's a big thing, you know, league, you know, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.880 how do you play when you're tired? So that that's 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:39.920 the only real realistic that I can honestly say that 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.280 you know, we got from the Singer Bowl. The best 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.680 part of the Singing Bowl, honestly is the interviews and 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.080 you know, the one on ones with the coaches and 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.560 every day so they can really see, you know, where 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.600 you are mentally with the game. Because that's most important. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.440 So when I would come here for and watch OTAs 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.280 and stuff, I was amazed at how fast you guys 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.120 were practicing, not not the length of time of how 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.280 fast you guys were going through your drills that we're 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.400 running team work that would do it. And then I 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.280 was curious, is this going to be able to carry 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.440 over to live training camp practice? What did you think 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.080 when you got into training camp with Matt Eberflus. Did 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.760 you like the pace of what you were practicing? Were 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.040 you getting too much conditioning work? Were you're getting enough 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.240 conditioning work? How did that settle in with you? Honestly, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.640 though at the time you know it was it was hard, 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.600 but you know, obviously, you know, getting in the training 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.400 camp it built up the stamino. You knew that we 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.360 needed to play and obviously, you know, you've seen it 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:32.800 in the last couple of games. You know, even though 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.720 I haven't gone our way, the fourth quarter has really 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.520 been our quarter. And that's because you know, the other 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.280 team is pretty much getting tired and we have the 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.400 stamina to play. And that's that's due to the you know, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.720 the condition that we did throughout practice and OTA and 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.840 training camp. So even if you don't see it now, 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.560 you know we definitely thankful for it now. So our 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.120 guest Justin Jones here on Bears All Access Tyler booterbaum 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.120 I hope I said that correctly is our producer.

This was not a full practice day for 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.560 Justin Jones and the Bears. They did to walk through meetings. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.000 How did it all go? Because Mattieberflus talked about what 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.280 they wanted to do as coaches. Every team does it 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.520 a little review of what's happened for the first six 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.640 and look at the strengths, looks at things that need 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.320 to be tweaked. I know, you know that run defense 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:51.840 is going to be one of the big ones, at 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.800 least on your side of the ball. Yeah, you know, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.160 he definitely are brought that up to us today and 0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.399 that was one of the biggest things, you know, we 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.040 talked about and but he did highlight, you know, some 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.719 of the positives that we had. You know, we had 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.800 a lot of positives. And the biggest thing that he 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.800 said to us is that you know, we're getting better 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.840 every week and you know, you know it might not 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.960 show up on the wins like we wanted to. Is 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.680 that that's obviously frustrating, but you know we are getting 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.000 better every week, and that's really all you can ask, 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.720 like because in the NFL, you know, you just can't. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.760 You can't stay the same either. You're getting better, you're 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.439 getting worse, and you know we're getting better. So have 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.760 you ever played New Have you ever played New England 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.960 with Tom Brady throughout your career? I did my rookie year. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.399 We had went to the playoffs and it was the 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.200 first round of the playoffs, and uh, we had played 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.280 them and we definitely lost. So from what you've been 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.280 able to learn throughout your career, is there a different 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.800 approach to when you play a team that doesn't have 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.560 Tom Brady in New England? That does? You know? It's 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.159 a serious question because I know if if we were 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.920 playing against the defense that had a guy like Reggie White, 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.399 it would be a whole point of emphasis when you 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.760 prepare for him. Is it the same with New England 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.000 or is it what you remember preparing as a younger guy. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.840 I wouldn't. I wouldn't say it was anything different, you know, 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.120 honestly in my opinion, you know, you treat every game 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.239 like it has a life of his own, and you 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.320 know you can't. You can't talk about the Patriots without 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.280 talking about Tom Brady at the time, right you can't. 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.160 You can't talk about you know, the Bucks without talking 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.160 about Tom Bury. You can't talk about anybody without talking 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.679 about their best players. And that's that's kind of what 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.240 I mean by cheer. Everybody be saying you have to 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:25.919 show respect to the players that kind of make their 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:27.760 team go. But you have to have you also have 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.760 to make a make a plan to take those players 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.840 out to make them ineffective in the game so that 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.879 you can, you know, obviously do what you're trying to do, 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.560 which is obviously win. You know, you can't you can't 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.639 let those players get going and get into a rhythm 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:39.280 because they can hurt you at that point. You know, 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.000 when you go back to the Green Bay game, you 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.359 had a couple tackles for lost explosive plays at the 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.680 line of scrimmage. As a defensive lineman. Do you like 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.800 when you're on the road where you can kind of 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.480 grow it familiar with the cadence of the quarterback or 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.520 do you like it at home when you really can't 0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.080 hear anything and you're just going on instincts because I 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.520 I see you have explosive plays on the road, and 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.000 it's I don't know if you're fault you're falling into 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.320 that cadence rhythm or what is it for us to know? 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.600 You know, it's different things. You know, it's different things 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.200 for me personally. Uh, I like going on the road 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:16.520 more just for the simple fact that you know, our 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.439 bearest fans travel. Yeah, and uh that's huge for me. 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.359 You know, I like going to foreign stadiums and you know, 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.680 putting on the show for them and obviously get going 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:26.679 there and getting to win, you know, especially when our 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.040 fans travel like that. That's something I really I really 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.080 enjoy doing, you know because a lot of fans get 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.600 to go home unhappy, and I love that. I love that. 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.159 But um, you know, as for you know, cadence and everything. 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:39.320 When we're on the road or when they're home, and 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.720 you know, our fans really loud. I pay attentions to 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.040 like the clock, you know, the the game clock. I'm 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.440 pay attention to manners, and a lot of people go silent. Counsel, 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.680 you know, they have a routine cadence or a routine 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.560 you know motion that they do, you know, to let 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.040 everybody on the old line not that they're about to 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.159 hike the ball, notifying me that they're about to hit 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:57.840 the ball. And so once they do that, I'm out 0:20:57.840 --> 0:20:59.960 of there. When they're at home. You know, some people 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.320 were like, uh, let me think Aaron Rodgers. You know, 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.360 he has some things that he do that he does, 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.359 you know, pre snap the way I know when the 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.600 boss coming, and once it comes, like I'm moditating before 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.480 everybody else moves. It's possible Mac Jones could come back 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:15.880 for this one of the wise that Bailey Zappy who's 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.399 been been impressive and almost three full games are putting 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.720 up a lot of points. You your Chargers team that 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:22.560 you were on last year did play took him down 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.680 to the wire. I think they had one touchdown run 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:28.080 and four field goals with mac Jones. What you learn 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.879 from Wack Jones last year that if he goes in 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.520 there and comes back from his injury, that will benefit 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.159 you just from knowledge from playing him once. Oh, you 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.800 definitely know he's a good quarterback. He doesn't like anybody 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:40.720 next to his feet, you know, so that's that's a 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:42.560 big thing. You know. He throws off his back foot 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.439 whenever there's pressure obviously, you know, but if we can 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.439 get some confusion going on, that was one thing about him, 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:48.840 you know, once he gets confused, you know, he kind 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.560 of just throws the game away in my opinion. But um, 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:53.119 you know, obviously if he gets in the rhythm, then 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:54.480 obviously he can hurt us. So you got to give 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.480 him in respect in that aspect. But you know he 0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:58.320 does he does have a kryptonite and we're going to 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:00.320 expose that. Yeah, I'll tell you the one thing you 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:01.920 gotta get ready for as you know, with a Bill 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.480 Belichick coach team, and Tommy and I just broke it 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.560 down for our game preview, is that they throw a 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:10.080 bunch at yet they throw packages after package. I'll start 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.399 out with whatever, and then you got to figure it 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.760 out over the course of the game. That's a part 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:16.240 of You got to find a lot of answers to 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.960 a lot of questions, even as the game's unfolding. Would 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:21.760 that be a fair representation of playing a Patriots Bill 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:24.680 Belichick coach team. That's definitely true. That's definitely true. But 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:26.960 you know, one thing about you know, fundamentals and technique 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.639 like those, those things aren't gonna lie to you, you know, 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.159 So if you're really focusing on those things, and you 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:33.920 will be okay. And that's from the front end of 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:35.720 all the way to the back end. So stuff like 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:37.760 that doesn't really worry me, you know. It's more so 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.520 it's more so, you know, are we are we playing 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.399 with effort? Are we getting to the ball? Are we 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.000 are we all getting half to the ball? Are we 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.520 knocking to pile back? Are we getting pressure on the quarterback? 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.119 Those those are things that I'm worried about, not more 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.800 so what they're doing. It's always about us. So who 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:54.280 do you think's bigger trash talkers offensive line or defensive lineman? 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:56.639 And then from all the young guys that Jeff and 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.600 I don't know that well yet, who's the biggest talker 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:05.119 at your defensive lineman? Uh? So the offensive? Is there 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:07.880 any offensive lineman that talk trash to you? Or are 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.439 they They're back to the huddle so quick. Yeah, they're 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:12.160 they're in and out for me. Now. They don't really 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:15.320 talk too much to me, but I've seen I've seen 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.440 a lot more d lineman talking trash. Yeah. I mean, Tommy, 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.000 you didn't talk, did you? No? But we didn't have time. 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.840 But there are some guys that do. And because we're 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:25.720 getting to know a lot of these guys for the 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.040 first time in our life. You know, I'm talking about 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:33.480 old line though. I mean Oland did there's there's there's 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.480 a did you? And Jay No? You know, I mean, 0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:39.919 we didn't take anything because you'd get a defensive lineman 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:41.880 from a team that would try to line up like 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:43.920 the Green Bay Packers used to have a guy named 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.679 Tim Harris and he would line up against everybody on 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:48.720 the offensive lineman. He would talk a lot of trash, 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:50.920 so you almost had to give it back to him, 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.520 you know. But how about John Rando who had a 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:55.720 whole book on your whole life, and he was yeah, 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.000 oh yeah, he'd do research. I mean he would do 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.200 he wouldn't know everything about your life and just poke 0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.400 at you the whole game and be talking though. Going 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:08.200 in NFL films with John rad it's hilarious, hilarious, but 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.280 he get on your skin, you know, he'd get under 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.560 your skin a little bit. Justin Jones, our guest here 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.600 on Bears All Access. It's brought to you by Igs Energy. 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.679 So part of your weekend was hanging out with the 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.000 folks as an honorary captain for the TAFT ken Wood, 0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:27.720 Chicago Publicly Girls Flag Football City Championship Game TAFT one 0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:29.560 and both teams are going to be competing in the 0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:33.080 state championship here at Hollis Hall later this month. You 0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.040 have a one year old daughter, so you know you 0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:36.879 gotta kick out of that too. What was it like 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:40.399 in is this part of the future with girls and 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.879 boys for that matter? I know the NFL would love 0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:44.919 to have it to be an Olympic sport one day, 0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:48.400 you know, honestly, it'd be it'd be good for both 0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:51.000 you know, and uh personally, you know, just the game 0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.000 of football itself. I think it'd be. I think it'd 0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:54.640 be really good for the girls and women that wanted 0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:57.399 to play football in my opinion, you know, especially especially 0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.720 obviously me having a daughter, I'm a little biased. You know, 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:01.560 I want her to enjoy the sport as well, and 0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:03.280 obviously she seemed like she wanted to do it. So 0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:04.920 if you know, at some point when she gets of age, 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:07.080 you know, we'll put her in something like that and 0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:08.719 you know, let it try it out. But you know, 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.040 it's huge. You talk about opportunity to get to get 0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:13.199 be able to get more people into sports and be 0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:15.119 able to get more people an opportunity to get a 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.680 free education, you know, and and you know, possibly going 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.439 get into the Olympics. That's that's amazing. That's literally life changing, 0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:22.320 like you know, for a lot of people. So you know, 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.480 I thought that was amazing. You know, find the information 0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.959 out and you know, you're looking at the teams, like 0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.000 being out there with Tad and Kim, they love this 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.600 game like they love it, like they're they're they're playing 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:36.080 like they're they're playing like full speed like they're they're there. 0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:37.919 You have to see it what you're own eyes, Like literally, 0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:40.720 it's amazing that they're running routes and everything, and you know, 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.080 they really get competitive, trash talking to each other like 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:44.359 and you can even see it the way they pull 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:45.679 the flag and throw it on the ground and walk 0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:47.680 off like it's they're they're out. They're really trying to 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.000 get in. It's amazing to see. Yeah, So I'm sure 0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:54.199 here again, you know, they kids mimic behavior, so they 0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:56.879 watch watch the big boys at the NFL level do 0:25:57.000 --> 0:26:00.119 their thing. Yeah, and it's gonna trickle down even how 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:02.879 they wear their socks or how they wear their uniforms. 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:04.960 So we got to take a break. Justin Jones our 0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:08.360 guest here at Hatasar at PNC Studios with Tows there. 0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:11.600 I'm Jeff Joniac not Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:17.800 score College All Bears bands.

But 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:17.520 my gosh, the rookies, they're more snaps than any team 0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.200 in the league, buy a long shot. So you got 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.320 a young football team. What's it like playing with these 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:25.240 guys in there? Have they have? They adapted quicker maybe 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.280 than they wouldn't if there weren't so many of them, 0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:31.720 especially on special teams for example. Yeah, they are, they are. 0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:33.560 But the good thing about it is, you know they're 0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.400 getting all these quality reps now, and that's one thing 0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:37.320 you know about it. You know, for a lot of 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.320 rookies in the league. They don't. It's a lack of reps, 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:40.480 you know. It's a lot of bets taking all the 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:42.720 reps nowadays, you know, and all the other teams. So here, 0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:44.959 you know, giving all these rookies, you know, so many 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.160 reps at a young at a young age in their career, 0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.160 like it's going to be huge for their career just 0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:51.040 in general, like they'll be able to start seeing things 0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:53.360 a lot faster, you know, in the following games and 0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:56.200 following years and just develop faster as a player because 0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:59.440 the reps are important. You can't imitate game reps in practice, 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:00.640 like you have to be in the game. You have 0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:03.240 to understand the situations, the pressure, you know, how the fans, 0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:04.680 you have to feel all that stuff, you know to 0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:06.719 get to understand it and get better at it. And 0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.000 you know, for certain things out to affect you, like 0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:11.000 you know, like a rookie was going to a hostile 0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:13.520 environment that might affect them, universes of fat who's been 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:15.400 who's been there three or four times like that, you know, 0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:17.440 they that doesn't affect them at all, you know, So 0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:21.840 that stuff's important. Is there information that you can transfer 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.520 to a guy like Dominique Robinson, because you talk about 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:27.040 the offense breaks of the huddle, you take everything in 0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:29.960 the consideration the time on the clock, the down and distance, 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.880 what hash mark they're on, the stance of the offensive 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:35.760 lineman is there is there a teaching components that you 0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:38.840 can help a guy like Dominique because he's played different positions, 0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:41.320 but he's got the talent to grow and do a 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.080 defensive end. You know, I've talked to domin a couple 0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.000 of times. You know about about you know, a tendensee's 0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:48.240 and everything, and you know how to how to diagnose 0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:49.880 the whole player. You know, within like maybe seven to 0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:51.440 ten seconds, kind of know what's coming to ask you 0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.760 before you've been getting your stance, because that's really the 0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.560 that's really the that's really one of the one of 0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:58.800 the biggest the biggest things you know of the down 0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:01.760 is trying the pre snap reads. You know, that's really 0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:03.640 important for a d lineman to understand you where the 0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:05.280 ball is going. You know what kind of block you're 0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:07.080 gonna get, you know what your assignment is. You know 0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:08.800 how can you can how you can do it effectively? 0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:10.600 You know when you could take your shots because those 0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:11.640 are one of the big players and may you know, 0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:14.080 you're able to take a shot and it won't hurt 0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:15.479 the team. It's within the scheme. But you could take 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:17.320 their shot and make a big play, you know. Obviously 0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:19.400 you know from what you've seen on the pre snap. 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:21.440 You know, so we've talked about, you know, alignments. We 0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:23.680 talked about running back alignment. We've talked about splits between 0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:26.800 offensive linemen, tackles and guards, and we've talked about you know, 0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.040 tendencies from a center, you know, from from the head 0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.040 motions to the way he owes the ball. We talked 0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:33.320 about quarterbacks and stuff like that and their manner risks 0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:34.800 you know, from when the ball comes out and stuff 0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:37.120 like that. So we talked about a lot, but you know, 0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:39.280 it's it's repetition, like I said, you know for rickies, 0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:41.000 you know, to be able to understand certain things like 0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:43.280 that and be able to look at that, and you 0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:45.800 know that for it to become second nature, to be 0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:47.360 able to look at that and become second nature and 0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:48.600 you don't have to really think about, oh let me 0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:49.880 look at his eye, let me look at the split. 0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.000 It just becomes something part of your routine, you know, 0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:54.040 of a snap so that's kind of what we're trying 0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:55.280 to get to. But we talk about that, and you 0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:56.720 know he's starting to do things like that too, So 0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.840 that's that's pretty good. You know what as a defensive lineman, 0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.440 see these guys that are talented that are able to 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:04.920 deflect balls out of the air when the quarterback throws them. 0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:08.680 Can you teach them things like that to say, Okay, 0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:11.520 I'm still rushing against the offensive lineman, but I'm also 0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:14.719 reading the eyes of the quarterback. Is that something that 0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:18.000 is in eight and you that you have from thousands 0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:21.200 of reps and one on ones and teamwork and everything 0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.520 else you go through. Or is that something that's learned 0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.280 or taught by a coach from the past. Well, you know, 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:30.240 it's it's something like so you know, looking at us 0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:32.360 is always good, you know, but there's also things as 0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:34.040 you know, for just being in front of the quarterback 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.520 in general, right then looking looking at a ball indicators 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:38.640 you know, when it takes his hand at the ball, 0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:40.480 that's when the balls coming. Because some quarterbacks are pump 0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:42.480 fake you and they the hand will still be on 0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:44.320 the ball. They're not going through the regular throw of 0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:46.080 motions for you know, to be able to know when 0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:48.560 to jump and stuff like that. So you know, just 0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.680 just just you know, taking advantage of all those tendencies 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:52.000 and everything. And IVI was, you know, if you're getting 0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:53.800 a double team, you know you're not getting to the quarterback. 0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:55.720 The best way to affect them to get your hands up, 0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:57.400 you know, try to block the past or get getting 0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:59.560 his vision so to overthrow it or something, you know, 0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:01.640 getting the hunt fate because he can't see or you know, 0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:03.560 you know it's open, but it's a bad package. You're 0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:05.720 right there. So just something you know, to give guys 0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:07.920 extra time to get there, or you know, give guys 0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:10.560 ex time, you know, just to you know, to beat 0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:12.120 their man so you know, you they get a pressure 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:13.640 or a sack or something, because sometimes you know, a 0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.040 double team comes your way and you know you're ineffective 0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:17.840 on the rush. But that's one good way, you know, 0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:21.600 to affect the quarterback. Hot button topic right now, justin Jones, 0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:23.520 our guest here with Tom there Jeff Jonny Ack on 0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:26.040 Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score. This is Bears 0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:28.800 All Access brought to you by IGS Energy. So the 0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.520 NFL owners meeting today out in New York and a 0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:37.040 topic of roughing the passer was discussed, and the NFL's 0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:40.320 executive vice president of Football Operations, Troy Vincent said, Yep, 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:44.960 healthy conversation, healthy conversation about it. These recent calls, We're 0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:48.680 not changing our philosophy as a defensive lineman who gets 0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:52.680 to the quarterback, and yet you know what the flags 0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:55.880 mean or the type of way you have to hit 0:32:55.920 --> 0:32:59.120 a quarterback these days, even with full momentum and the 0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:01.400 heat of the moment. How do you feel about that 0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:04.200 if they're going to continue to lean on what they're 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.040 doing right now? And even Rich McKay, the Competition Competition 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:11.840 Committee chairman, said I got lulled into it once and 0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:15.080 it probably won't happen again in terms of reviewing things 0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:17.480 like that. And that was about pass interference. Back in 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.160 the day. They could never get a consistent way to 0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:23.520 call pass interference. What is your thought out as a 0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:27.280 as a three technique defensive tack who's asked to blast 0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:31.560 off at the line of scrimmage and go get the quarterback. Personally, 0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:34.480 I think I think it's pretty solvet you know my opinion. 0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.200 You know, I do agree, you know, not just hit 0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:41.160 sticking the quarterback at all times, because obviously that's the 0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:42.680 way to really really hurt them. You know, you don't 0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:44.240 want to hurt you don't want to hurt guys like 0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.880 that in this game. But you know, obviously the recent 0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:48.920 the recent calls, I think they're pretty soft, you know, 0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:51.120 because I don't think there were anything wrong with the 0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:53.000 recent ones. You know, ya obviously are referring to the 0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.160 Grady chair at the time Brady went off. Yes, but 0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:58.600 even this path, even last night, I mean, there were 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.200 you know, there's been a dozen of them. But is 0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.680 it going to alter the way you go about it? 0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:05.920 Is it in your head? Because think, think for a minute, 0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:09.160 what if it's fourth quarter crunch time and yep, you 0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.080 know that word close, you're trying to close, and you 0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.080 get to the quarterback and you're happen to land down. 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.359 I'm a certain way that they don't like. I mean, 0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:16.719 usually got to pull off. You know, if you're if 0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:18.680 you're about to dump a guy, you know you can 0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:20.279 get your hands off to the side and kind of 0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:23.680 like lean over a little bit. It seems it seems hard, 0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:26.840 but it's not as hard as you know it seems 0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:30.200 because you know you have full control of what you're doing. 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:31.840 Like if you have the quarterback in your hand and 0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:33.600 you're about to dump them, you know you have control 0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:35.160 or either let them go or pull off. Or if 0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:36.400 you come at them at a angle, you know, to 0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:37.759 get your head to the side and not put it 0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:40.040 in this stern them. Like you know, it's certain things 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:41.759 like that that you can control. Now that there are 0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:44.279 things you can't control, Like you know, maybe you beat 0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.160 the guy and the tackle pushes you into the quarterback 0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:48.120 and you end up, you know, falling at his legs 0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.719 or something like that. Or you know, maybe you're tack 0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:52.160 on the quarterback in the old line and falls on 0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:54.279 top of you, so now you're really pancake in the quarterback. Like, 0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.480 some things you can't control like that, but the ones 0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:58.000 you can't control, you know that you have to do 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.759 your best to control those things. So that's really my 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:04.360 take on it. You know, you know it's you know, 0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:06.960 it's soft, you know it's off I feel like, you know, 0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:09.719 with the rules and everything like that, but at the 0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:11.880 same time, you know it's to protect that guy. So yeah, 0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:13.959 you know, I look at it from both angles. Boy, 0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:16.359 Justin's taking some hits that you'd like to throw a flight. 0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:18.880 How do you feel about this. Hearing this from the 0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:23.120 NFL owners today, It's kind of like a baseball umpire. 0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:26.080 You know, all baseball umpires are not going to call 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:29.280 the strike zone exactly the same. So now you're asking 0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:32.719 the officials to interpret what they saw and what would 0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:35.960 be hard for a defensive lineman if you're playing against 0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:38.960 Kyler Murray or you're playing against Cam Newton or Ben 0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:42.200 Roethlisberger in their prime, you have to have two different 0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:45.680 approaches to these guys. I remember Cam Newton broadcasting a 0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:48.120 game and guys are bouncing off of him, and so 0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:50.879 I guess you'd have to put some tom study time 0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:54.000 in to the type of quarterback you're playing. Does he 0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.080 try to spin out of tackles, is he willing to 0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:58.160 take a hit, does he hold it a little longer 0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:00.239 to get the ball out of his hands? And you 0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.239 know issues that are you know, you guys will have 0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:04.320 to study now. You know, for those bigger guys, you know, 0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:06.359 the biggest thing we preach just depend the arm so 0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:08.839 we can't throw the ball away. That's the biggest thing 0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:11.280 we teach because obviously, you know, we can't just drill 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:13.160 the guy, even if he's a big even if he's big, 0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:14.799 you feel me. So we got we got to pin 0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:16.279 the arm to make sure we can't throw the ball 0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:18.560 and you know, making and make it a gang tackle 0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:20.239 because you know, that was one thing about you know, 0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:23.160 Ben Roethlisberg. I remember when I was younger in my career. 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.000 You know, he's a big guy. You know, it's hard 0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:27.400 to bring down by one man. So you know, pin 0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:28.839 his arm. You know, way for everybody was to get 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:30.239 there and get him down together. That's that's one of 0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:32.360 the big things we talked about. So that's how we 0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:35.120 answer you know, those bigger quarterbacks. That's for the running ones. 0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:36.399 You know, come of just keep him in the box 0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:38.120 or keep him in the cup and then you know 0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:39.960 that how to make it easier if him to get tackle. 0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:42.759 So Ben was the best pump fake quarterback I've ever 0:36:42.760 --> 0:36:44.600 seen because he has such big hands that he could 0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:47.040 make it look like he was actually throwing the ball right. 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.759 It was just trying to get a defensive back out 0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:52.640 of position or a defensive lineman to jump right. So 0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:55.200 you broke down the team last week for what would 0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:58.000 you say, Oh, man, I was just talking about how 0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:01.279 I would just talking about you know, just having having 0:37:01.280 --> 0:37:03.360 a swag. Man. It's Thursday night football, and you know 0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:05.560 we look good. Man. It feels good out here, you know, 0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.360 and the lights is all you know, fans are going crazy, man, Like, 0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:10.239 we just gotta ask some swag when we take the field. Man, 0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:12.480 we gotta have energy, we gotta have jews. You know. 0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:14.160 We had to play like we love a game. And 0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.240 that's what the biggest thing we talked about in that huddle, 0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:18.080 and just play for each other because you know that's 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:19.680 all we got. You know, we're going to award together. 0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:21.480 You know, you empty the tank for each other. We've 0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:23.640 been grinding all year. What's the best one of those 0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:27.920 you've ever heard in your football playing life. Honestly, I 0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:30.719 think I think the one Road said, I forgot what 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:33.359 game it was. He was micd up. It was mic though. 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:35.600 Was a san Fran might have been might have been 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:37.680 saying I don't remember, Yeah it was san Fran. But 0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:40.560 he was like, man, you know, I'll dive. I'll die 0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:42.600 on this field right now. You know what, I'm emptying 0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:44.200 the whole thing for y'all, and it makes su y'all 0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:45.640 do the same. Man. I was like, Oh, they get 0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:47.440 me chilled right there. Man. I told him the next 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:48.680 day in the locker room. I was like, hey man, 0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:50.960 you got me ready to play after that one. So 0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:53.759 but yeah, that was that was a good one for sure. 0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:55.279 That that was probably one of the best ones I've 0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:58.640 heard so far. Did you did you like the orange helmets? 0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:01.120 You know, I wasn't a big fan of it at first, 0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:02.600 but when I saw it under the lights, you know, 0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:04.759 with the jersey combo, it was pretty cool. Let me 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.000 ask you this, so you know, during my career, we 0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:09.600 only wore one helmet every single game, and you kind 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.279 of break in your helmet. It's like a pair of 0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:14.800 leather shoes when they start fitting perfectly, they fit perfectly. 0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:17.040 Did you feel any difference in the helmet that you 0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:19.880 wore since it was kind of a fresh helmet, It 0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:21.680 was kind of tight a little bit, you know, but 0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:24.239 we wore the day before, you know, and practice for 0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:25.840 a little bit, so that that made it a lot easier, 0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:27.920 you know, to break in come the game. But you know, 0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:29.920 I think the cold air kind of tightened the leather 0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:31.600 a little bit. But it was pretty cool. It was 0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:33.359 all right, all right? Before we let you go get 0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:36.440 your final scouting report. If it's all about stopping the 0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:38.360 run so you can earn the right to rush the 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:42.560 past or whomever it may be. It means stopping Remandre Stevenson. 0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:44.800 What kind of back is he? And what do you 0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:48.080 seeing on tape? Honestly, we haven't even had the opportunity 0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:49.799 to break down doing I know coaches have, but we've 0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.000 been more so looking at you know, we've been looking 0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:54.600 at Washington and doing a lot of seal scouting, you know, 0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:56.720 these last these last four days, you know, just focusing 0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:58.719 on us and really, you know, seeing where we can 0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:01.120 better ourselves as a person, as a player. You know, 0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:05.080 not more so just the team itself, but each player individually. Like, 0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:08.279 look at yourself and be really really really strict on 0:39:08.320 --> 0:39:11.839 yourself and really, you know, saying, coach yourself on how 0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:15.040 did you get the better version of yourself on the field? Hey, justin, 0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:16.520 I want to tell you one thing. If you win 0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:19.080 a play immediately like he did in Green Bay and stuff, 0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:21.839 keep your head on the swivel because that running back 0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:25.640 will will light you up. Really, yes, just you know, 0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:28.680 food for thought, because I was watching some different tape 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:32.719 on him today. He number thirty four, the interior linebacker 0:39:32.800 --> 0:39:38.840 for Detroit three times the guy blitzed three times. He 0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:41.400 lit them up, and so I'm just saying, if you 0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:45.319 get one of those quick wins, look for him. There 0:39:45.320 --> 0:39:48.200 you go. They are scouting a board for Justin Jones. 0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:50.640 All right, well, we really appreciate you taking the time. 0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:51.840 I know you got a lot of work to do 0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:53.480 and you want to be with your family, but I 0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:56.319 know the folks here from Magellan and USO Illo, I 0:39:56.320 --> 0:40:00.560 appreciate it. Thank you. Have a great rest of your season. Teardown, 0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:04.120 Buddy Beardown, Justin Jones, our guest. We'll continue Tam and 0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:06.520 I another segment to break down the Bears and Patriots 0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:09.440 on Monday night here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy 0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:20.719 The Score. That's the sound of Magellan Corporation in USO, Illinois. 0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:24.080 Special guests here on a special edition of Bears All 0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:27.040 Access here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy The Score. 0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:31.880 Joanna budabam Our, producer Dan Brouley, pauls rang here. Justin 0:40:32.000 --> 0:40:35.200 Jones a very enjoyable interview. He's got a lot to 0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:39.000 say and he's lived a full life. Enjoyed our feature 0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:41.600 with him on the television side, and he's a proud 0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:43.960 popot that's the best part of it all. I love it. 0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:47.480 That is number one, no doubt about it. Number two 0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:50.360 is he's a defensive line he's a lineman. You know, 0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:53.000 that's always the best part of ours. That's where it's 0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:55.239 one or lost right there. And you can catch him 0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:58.319 at at twenty seven savage on Twitter. I never asked 0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.440 him what that is twenty seven savage because he's certainly 0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:05.200 not that number, but a really interesting cat. Through six games, 0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:09.279 the defensive lineman have seven and a half sacks, so 0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:11.520 they'd like to see that number. He's leading away co 0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:14.760 leader with a couple of players on this team, Trevis 0:41:14.800 --> 0:41:17.879 Gibson and Dominique Robinson one and a half. Robert Quinn 0:41:17.960 --> 0:41:21.680 won Alquity Mohammed one. But again, the preach points and 0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:23.440 I know fans don't get a kick out of it. 0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:27.680 It's not there's answers in there, but it's not what 0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:33.040 they want to hear, obviously, But fundamental technique eyes, trust 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:36.520 your eyes, signmon alignement keys, it's all the verbiage that 0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:38.920 you're going to hear from this day forward from this 0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:41.200 coaching staff, and that's the key to winning fan And 0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:43.279 you want to create confidence because you want to know 0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:45.479 when you go into these stadiums that are a little 0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:47.719 bit off the beaten trail, like New England, you don't 0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:50.200 play there very often. You got to go in there 0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:52.560 with the confidence that everything you're doing in practice is 0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:55.080 getting ready for you to win games. And that's the 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:57.799 attitude the Bears have to have going forward. If you 0:41:57.840 --> 0:42:00.440 cannot sit there and go, oh, this is woes me 0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:03.200 because they have this guy on the team, it's about 0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:05.839 woes them because we're gonna come in here and we're 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:08.320 going to bring a physical style of football that's gonna 0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.839 be a you know, running game, passing game, and our 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:13.319 defense and we're gonna bring it. This segment of Bears 0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:16.080 All Access is brought to you by CDW people to 0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:18.800 get it. Jeff, Joniakin, Tim there with you a couple 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:21.880 of nuggets today. Tom. I know you'll have some opinions 0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:26.240 on the NFL is looking at a Black Friday football 0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:28.560 game and I saw that so a day after think 0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:30.879 so you know the idea is, I guess to play 0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:32.600 every day of the week. I don't know if Friday's 0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:36.239 keep seemingly off limits, but not on the day after Thanksgiving. 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:38.040 How do you feel about it? That's in the but 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.160 it's gonna happen. They haven't named the teams. Yeah. The 0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:42.760 only people that are unhappy about it are the malls 0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:46.000 and the guys the stores that have the super sales 0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:48.240 and they want as many people in their stores all day. 0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:50.640 But hey, I think it's a great day for football 0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:53.520 as long as they don't take away anything from high 0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:57.600 school state championships in college football, because that's when all 0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:01.720 these games are. And you know, these teams, these coaching staff, 0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:04.680 these parents, the support crew of every one of these 0:43:04.719 --> 0:43:06.960 younger kids that put in a lot of time and effort. 0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:10.920 So don't take attention away from those guys just to 0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:14.719 put another pro game on Friday. So hopefully it's you know, 0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:17.080 like I said, it doesn't interfere with the big moments 0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:19.040 for the high school and college kids. I don't know 0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:21.480 what the significance is, but a lot of writers who 0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:25.200 are tweeting this today. NFL owners hearing at today's meetings 0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:27.919 that the average margin of victory this season is eight 0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:30.680 point nine points, which is essentially a one score game, 0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:34.040 pretty much on pace to shatter the Super Bowl era 0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:37.120 record of ten point two. So you've got balance in 0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:41.160 the league. I believe there are ten teams with a 0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:44.680 winning record, that's it, and three divisions do not have 0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:46.759 a winning team. That you may have a five hundred team. 0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.560 How do you look at that? As a veteran player 0:43:49.680 --> 0:43:52.879 and now analyst, Does it matter to you? I mean 0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:55.440 it doesn't matter because they've always wanted parody. But with 0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:58.600 free agency and so many coaches being fired every year, 0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:01.360 you don't have a chance as to build a foundation 0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:05.040 that lasts four years, like you know with you know 0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:07.000 you have in certain amount of teams. You know you 0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:10.600 got obviously the quarterback position in Green Bay, the coaching 0:44:10.640 --> 0:44:13.520 position in New England. You know, those are a couple 0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:17.920 of examples that you have success. But you know, when 0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:21.440 you have so many guys changing over the year and 0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:23.799 a year out team in a team out, it's gonna 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:26.759 be hard to have a great team with a with 0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:29.200 a first year head coach or a great team with 0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:33.040 the first year quarterback. It's it's difficult position to master. 0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:36.960 All right, let's talk about the past protection and justin 0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:40.360 fields as he heads into New England, because he'll he'll 0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:43.239 listen no matter what, they're gonna throw things that maybe 0:44:43.239 --> 0:44:46.480 he hasn't seen yet in his sixteen NFL games. But 0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:48.560 the idea that they want is to keep him in 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:51.200 the pocket. And you know, YadA, YadA, YadA, he's got 0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:52.759 moves that can get him out of the pocket, that 0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:56.520 pivot move. I'm just you know where you at on 0:44:56.640 --> 0:45:00.640 past protection because Maddie Berflus is saying it's all eleven, 0:45:00.719 --> 0:45:03.800 which includes Justin getting rid of the football and also 0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:06.359 getting everybody in the right protection. It is, but I'm 0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:09.520 kind of disappointed there's not a wider variety of throwing 0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:12.960 spots for Justin because yeah, okay, New England knows that 0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:14.680 they're going to try to keep him in the pocket. 0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:16.799 He's never going to be in the pocket. I mean 0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:19.759 he is, but you know there's a majority of the 0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.200 time that he's going to be on the outside. You know, 0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.920 there's an easy play to Darnell Mooney where Justin rolls 0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:28.440 do his left Darnell Mooney is wide open. There's not 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:32.600 any type of defensive player around him to hit him 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:36.319 or you know, have a challenging tackle. Same thing with 0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:39.200 Cole Comet. There's a you know, a passet in the 0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:41.799 fourth quarter that they throw with the David Montgomery on 0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:44.239 the edge. All those types of things getting the ball 0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:47.800 out of his hands, quicker throw from a variety of spots. 0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:51.560 Allow your offensive lineman to throw play action as frequently 0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:54.799 as you possibly can, because it's the most aggressive pass 0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.960 protection there is in football. When you are a straight 0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:02.080 drop back team and you're giving ground grudgingly, but you're 0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:05.880 allowing the defense to be the aggressor, it's difficult protection. 0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:10.040 So use the god given gifts that Justin has and 0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:13.560 throw them from a variety of positions. Stats are interesting 0:46:13.600 --> 0:46:16.760 because you know they say a lot, but sometimes it's deceiving, 0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:19.240 and so the Bears haven't passed the ball a lot 0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:22.440 that by volume. It's more a run football team right now, 0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:24.040 and it may stay that way for the remainder of 0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:25.839 the season. I which is five with you and I right, 0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:28.280 no question, they're near the top ten in the NFL 0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:30.279 and a rushing one hundred and seventy point eight yards 0:46:30.280 --> 0:46:33.080 of game at five point two a Kerry today, Mattie 0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:35.920 Riffo said, the hot hand will run the Footballalil Herbert 0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:38.879 at six yards of carry David Montgomery at four right now. 0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:40.800 But they both are excellent in the passing game, and 0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:43.479 they both play a violent brand of ball. They both 0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:46.719 have leverage and they both bring it every snap.
