<v Speaker 2>of the Bears Jeff Joniac and Tom Thayer.

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>A Bears team who did not play their starters on

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.919
<v Speaker 1>either side of the ball came out pretty strong and

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>managed to put a big lead together before losing to

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.279
<v Speaker 1>the Indianapolis Colts twenty four to seventeen in Indianapolis and

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Lucas Oil Stadium. Welcome into our Bears et cetera podcast

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>for our instant reactions with Tom Thayer. I'm Jeff Joniac

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.959
<v Speaker 1>and we are sponsored by Miller Light. It's Miller Time Chicago.

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>B J Walker the starter played a quarter, but Tyson

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Bagen came into the second quarter and got our attention.

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>He was nine to tenants, scoring on a two yard

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>touchdown run before giving it over to Nathan Peterman. Just

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>give me some thoughts on all three quarterbacks.

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I like what I see out of

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>all three quarterbacks. I like PJ. Walker.

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I like his athleticism. He's a similar attemplate to justin Fields.

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 3>But now I got to believe that the quarterback competition

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>is open because when you look at what Beage it

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 3>did and how he performed tonight, and you look at

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 3>the calmness within that seventeen play drive that resulted in

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 3>a touchdown. He hit receivers in stride, He made the

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 3>right read to receivers to.

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Make sure that they had run after the catch.

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>So I like what I see them, and I wasn't

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 3>disappointed by Nathan Peterman. He counted on the receivers to

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 3>make some big catches even though they were covered. He

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 3>understood the window of opportunity. The NFL doesn't stay open long,

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>but he still put it in a catchable position and

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>these guys were able to make catches. So I'm super

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 3>encouraged about the development of the quarterback position. And it's

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 3>all about three weeks. And when you add a quarterback

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 3>in the mix during the second week of the preseason,

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 3>it really makes it interesting. And I think actually it

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>puts a little bit of pressure on PJ.

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Walker.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, Walker one to four for just six yards.

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>On the day thirty nine to six, the quarterback raating

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Pagent nine to ten seventy six yards ninety eight point three.

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>But again the calmness, and I agree with you. He

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>shows it on the practice field as well, just kind

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of knows exactly where to go with the ball, throws

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>a catchable ball across the board and Nathan Peterman ten

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of eighteen, one hundred and fifteen yards. Derrese Fountain, he

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>was our postgame guest on the Bears Radio Network with

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Jason McKee, had himself a day tom six targets, five catches,

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>eighty six yards and a beautiful thirty five yard touchdown.

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Also made a big catch to set the Bears up

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>for a last minute chance to try and get in

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the end zone. And he's a former cult Listen.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 3>The best thing I like about Dorris Fountain is immediately

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 3>when he was interviewed by Jason McKee at the end

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 3>of the game, the first thing he brought up is

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 3>the value in his important role on special teams. You

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 3>don't want these guys, Jeff, only focusing on how many

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 3>snaps are going to get as a wide receiver during

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 3>the regular season or during a game. You got to

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.119
<v Speaker 3>see what is their contribution in special teams to make

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 3>sure that they have a wide variety of skills and

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>they can add their skills in a lot of different

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 3>waves to a team.

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Also, we got to talk about the running of Roshan Johnson.

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Seven carries in thirty two yards. When he was in there,

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>he was moving guys. They were going backwards. He is

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>not one to give up a lot. He's not going

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>down easy along of fourteen on his day today. But

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just how he runs that's grabbing our attention.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>What I like about Roshan Johnson. He never looks to freelance.

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 3>He understands where the point of attack is and he

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 3>cuts accordingly. And it's the running backs that understand the

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 3>blocking schemes. They know what is going to be the

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>biggest impact against the defense in how to break off

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>of it. And that's what I like about Roshan Johnson

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 3>as much as anything. Is confidence on his interior vision.

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 3>A lot of young running backs only want to escape

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 3>to the outside, but Roshawn Johnson is willing to take

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 3>it in the inside, challenge the tackling and the willingness

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 3>of defensive backs and linebackers, and you see what his

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 3>value could be to this backfield.

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>We're brought to you by Miller Light Official Beer the

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Bears tastes like Miller Time Chicago, And it's also

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by PNC Bank Official Bank of the Bears.

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>How about Robert Burns the undrafted are running back today

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>because he's a fullback on the depth chart backing up

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie blasting game. But eight carries forty yards five yards

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of carry, twelve long. He did fumble the football, yep,

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and that one certainly led to points for the Colts.

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>But overall, I like how his explosiveness as he shoots

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>out of the backfield.

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, it would be interesting if we could track

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 3>a running back to where the point of attack is

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 3>their decision to take it outside or inside. Because Robert

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Burns is not going to be an outside burner. He's

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna be an inside vision guy a lot like Roshan Johnson.

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Then he's gonna challenge the willingness of guys that are

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 3>gonna come up and deliver big hits. But he makes

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 3>the decision so clear when he puts his foot in

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 3>the ground, he's getting positive yards attached to it. So

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 3>as you brought up Rochhan Johnson, I also wrote down

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 3>the name of Robert Burns because I think they have

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 3>similarities in their inside running style. And then you think

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 3>of Robert Burns, how can he contribute on special teams

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 3>five eleven two twenty two. He's a thick, powerful body.

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>That's funny because Rochan's listed at six two to twenty two.

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>He's at five eleven two twenty two. Robert Burns out

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of Miami went to Yukon, went to Miami, Florida for

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a time. Both of these guys initiate contact. One ran

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a four to five eight, that's Rochan. Burns ran a

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>four to six to six. I mean, but he's thick,

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>he's muscled up.

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 3>But can you attach their speed with vision? Because you

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 3>can be fast, but does your vision complete the run?

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I like about both of these guys

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 3>is they understand the defensive front their face, and they

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 3>understand where the vulnerability is of their tackling and they're

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 3>able to attack accordingly.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>And he plays special teams.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 3>He's got to and I think he can. I think

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of different duties that he can do.

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 3>You know, he can be a big time blocker on

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 3>kickoff return, he can be a blocker on punt return.

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>He can be on the punt team. So when you

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 3>look at a guy like Robert Burns who's showing running

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 3>back instincts, but that he's got the size and the

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.679
<v Speaker 3>power and the willingness to play special teams, you're talking

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 3>about a three position player right there.

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>He could be a target obviously for the practice squad

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>as well. Back to Fountain real quick. He six catches

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 1>now in the preseason. He's had big plays thirty five

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>yard touchdown, twenty six yard catch tonight, twenty five yard

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>catch last week, and making catches during training camp. He

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>brought us to our attention early in camp. He's continued

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>he did the other day. Also, Simba Webster's done the

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>same thing. They will have decisions to make. Simbo targeted

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.679
<v Speaker 1>four times for three catches. Fountain six targets, five catches,

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of catches last night as well. Isaiah

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Ford caught one late for twenty five yards. He's made

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>some plays as well. We're also brought to you by

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>United Airlines official airlines of the Chicago Bears. All Right,

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Thomas focused on defense now overall, aj Thomas five tackles

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that was early in the game, Michael Walker the newest

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>edition out of Atlanta five tackles, Kendall Williamson, the rookie

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>out of Stanford five tackles, and Davian Taylor a new

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>guy with five tackles. So the two new linebackers who

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>really didn't practice at ten combined tackles.

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Right, you know, listen, I like the guys that are

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>come on the scene late and then they kind of

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 3>play some inspirational football because they're no they're fighting for

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 3>their football life. But I can't, you know, ignore the

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 3>fact that Jervon Dexter junior or Jervon Dexter and Zach Pickens,

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Zach Pickens, you know, they played well again, So they

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 3>are making penetration. They are making significant defensive line progress.

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I think when you look at the performance of the

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 3>defensive line from a year ago, you're gonna need young

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 3>guys that come in here and have an impact on

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 3>this football team. And so those are a couple of

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 3>bright spots that I like, and it's hard to ignore.

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Terrell Lewis here's a guy two weeks in a row,

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 3>with the type of length he has.

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>He gets around the corner.

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, he's got bendability and athleticism, and he stripped the ball.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 3>So like when we were talking to Matt Eberflus, he says, look,

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 3>if our defensive end puts the ball on the turf,

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 3>it's our requirement, our obligation, our goal to get that.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>So I like, no, no, he said, he's gonna look

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>right right.

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 3>But I like what I see up front because I

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 3>think if this defense is going to take a major

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 3>step forward, because I like what I see out of the

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 3>defensive backfield, it's gonna because it's gonna be because they

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 3>have seven or eight guys that can contribute upfront.

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, So some of the things that happened that

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>so that forced fumble was won. He also mentioned the

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>near interception that we thought was picked.

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I did Tyreek.

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Stevenson in the end zone. It was a touchdown from

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Minshew to Winfrey for eight yard. I thought for

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>sure he picked that pass.

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 3>So it's gonna be in the zone here from where

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 3>we're sitting, Indianapolis is in big white letters. So his

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.559
<v Speaker 3>hands were above his head, and he has white gloves

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 3>on and.

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 2>It kind of everything blend into everything.

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>And that's why I thought that he I thought that's

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 3>why I thought he an interception. But the positive thing

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.840
<v Speaker 3>about it, now, there's two weeks in a row that

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Tyreek Stevenson should have had an interception. If he capitalizes

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 3>on those opportunities during the regular season, you know, I mean,

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 3>he's going to be flashing, and so I'm excited.

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 2>For what I saw.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 3>I like his reaction, I like his willingness to tackle,

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 3>and I just think he makes that position much more competitive.

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's always around the ball, and that's what I

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>like too, that at a minimum you're around the ball,

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>good things are going to happen. Also, aj Thomas recognized

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>as well by Matt eber Fluse on the defensive side

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of the ball. But Lewis with a sack. I gotta say,

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Zach Pickens, he continues to impress me too. He had

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.319
<v Speaker 1>a good game last week. He had three tackles. Early

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 1>in this game, he had a quarterback hit and a

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>tackle for loss. Dexter had one tackle. Some of these

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.679
<v Speaker 1>guys that we're going to be looking to the future

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>with and then futures right now for these young guys

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to help be in that wave upfront defensively.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's what Ryan poles. That's why he went evaluated

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 3>these guys with the scouting staff and figured with the athleticism,

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 3>the length and the strength of these guys have that

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 3>they could be immedia contributors. It's not like you're required

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 3>right now to be come in here and be a

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 3>starter and play sixty snaps a game. No, you got

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 3>to be a heavy time contributor if at about thirty

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 3>snaps a game.

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.160

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>final week of the preseason is the final chance for

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>guys to win roster spots. There could be more additions,

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>there could be more subtractions even this week as waivers

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>come about. The final cuts are not doing until after

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the game against Buffalo League white. It's on the same

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>day now, But does that change the attitude of the week.

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>It's going to expect it to be really hot during

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the course of the week. I'm not sure exactly how

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>that plays into their plans, but when they go back

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to getting ready for a Buffalo team and you will

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I that it's not going to be anything other than

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you will see starters in this game. Will that make

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you feel a little bit better about tuning up a

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit for the season.

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm not going to deny the fact I'd like

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 3>to see starters play because there's such a big gap

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 3>between the end of the preseason and the regular season.

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 3>But you know, Jeff, one thing that influences players, and

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Matt said it with us after the game, we're going

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 3>to treat this week as a game week in our preparation.

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 3>That puts a different feeling in your gut, because when

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 3>you start OTAs and you start training camp, you're just

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 3>trying to get to the next day because it's such

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 3>a hard time of work. But now you're getting ready

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 3>and you're going through what would be a practice week,

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 3>what would your life be like and the regular season,

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.079
<v Speaker 3>so you know, it's imperative that these come out.

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>These guys come out with a hard working attitude.

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 3>It's imperative that the guys that didn't play in the

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 3>game come with a practice attitude unlike any other week

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 3>because they haven't hit anybody now since Thursday. So you

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.959
<v Speaker 3>think of the length of the time from those starters

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 3>from the last time they practice to the next time

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 3>they practice. They got to be ready to go. This

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 3>is not something that you have a day to amp

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.079
<v Speaker 3>it up. This is when they get full pads on.

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 3>Whether it's one hundred and fifty degrees or fifty degrees,

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 3>they have to come out and have a high tempo performance.

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's always overreactions with every game, regular season

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>or preseason, but you know there's going to be a

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of conversation about Tyson vasion.

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 3>There should be ye from these hands, no question. You

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 3>know who you were saying that ever since you saw them.

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 3>The game's not too big for him. And I think

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 3>that's one of the things that impresses you most because, oh,

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 3>you know during the time he came here, Oh, no

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 3>one's ever come into the NFL from Shepherd.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>You don't know how he's going to react.

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Is it going to be you know such, you know,

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 3>is he going to be intimidated by the type of

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 3>talent he sees? No, because he's got knowledge, He's got

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 3>an understanding of his job requirements. He knows the anticipation

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 3>of routes. He put it on, displayed it, and he

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 3>was the second quarterback inserted into the game. And that

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.839
<v Speaker 3>just tells you what the coaches feel of him. They

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 3>want to see PJ. Walker succeed because he's the most

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 3>similar to a guy like Justin. However, it's all about

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 3>who plays the quarterback position the best and who can

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 3>do have a wide variety of skills to show the

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 3>coaches that he can play here.

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Game day snacking costs for good foods. Chunky guacamode made

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>with hashavocados, tomatoes, onions, so doantro in a squeeze of

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>lime juice. It's the perfect snack to watch while the

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Bears win. Score some today at your local grocery store.

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Game day is GWAK Day, Jeff Joni k tempt there.

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>This is Bears, et cetera, and we, as always, are

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by Light Official Beer. The Chicago Bears

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to see a good Buffalo team, another good opponent.

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:09.199
<v Speaker 1>We're going to obviously grade the first snaps more than others,

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's always fun to see a good team come

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to town.

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I care about you Bear, I care about the Bears.

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. It's an opponent.

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's an opponent saying. I'm just I'm just being

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 3>an antagonist. I'm that way because I'm the youngest of

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 3>my family.

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what I've been told.

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, you know, listen, I like that a good

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Buffalo team is coming into play against the Bears, and

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that's what the Bears fans want to see.

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 3>But I think if you can walk off that field

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 3>confidently an injury free, then it really provides a little

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 3>bit of spark for you getting ready for the start

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 3>of the regular season. And that's what we're that's what

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 3>the Bears organization is concentrating on. Is week one of

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 3>the regular season, as much as it is important to

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 3>play that last preseason game well.

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>And hopefully get some injured guys back. None are serious

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to the point that you're concerned about Week one, but

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to get him back, and certainly the middle

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of the defense. Tommy, we're talking about Jermaine Edmonds. We're

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about Eddie Jackson, Jakwan Brisker. These guys have not

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>been able to play with the new additions, and he

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>can Gotway and DeMarcus Walker trying to get healthy. So

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the defenses where the majority of the issues are, and

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>then the offensive line where is Nate Davis at.

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think Nate Davis is in that ramp

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 3>up period where he's going to start contributing more. I

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 3>think he's going to be a real help to Darnell.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I think Chris Morgan would like to see his five

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 3>guys in there with a couple weeks of practice so

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 3>they can have that chemistry and gel together. But listen, man,

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 3>there's three weeks left before the Green Bay game. I

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 3>know the Buffalo game stands in their way, but it's

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.359
<v Speaker 3>about preparation and know the system better to gain that chemistry.

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 3>And I think this week did help him against practicing

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 3>against the Indianapolis Colts. But you know, it's about getting

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 3>them ready to play against the Green Bay Packers.

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, Tom, that's gonna wrap us up. We'll talk

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.720
