It's the start of the twenty twenty season. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.000 When you break it all down on the schedule and 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.720 Tom there, Jim Meller, my co host Tonight on Bears 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.920 All Access brought to you by IGS Energy. Good to 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.920 have you guys with us, and good to talk to schedule. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.600 As the NFL fellas continues to plow forward with the 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.040 whole intention of playing an entire full season, yep, there 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.000 could be some delays. You never know what's going to 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.240 happen around the road. But right now, as they have 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.840 with free agency and the draft. They are keeping everything 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.959 on schedule. This was a little later than normal the 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.760 release of it all, but we're we're getting reports of 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.800 what everything is, but the full announcement coming up at 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.320 the bottom of the year. We'll talk to gentle manager 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.679 Ryan Pace about it as well. But Tom, it's funny 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.880 because it's like Christmas morning when the kids open up 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.000 the gifts before the parents go down, everybody tries to 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.600 unpack the schedule. You know, Jeff, when I do see 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.959 a schedule as an ex player, there's so many things 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.200 I look at immediately, and it's like I scan the 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.640 schedule first and I'll go, okay, I'll pinpoint this topic, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.240 this topic and this topic, and then I'll kind of 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.240 slow it down and I'll get a relook at divisional 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.400 you know, strategy and stuff like that. And then there's other, 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.320 you know, plans or things I look at. But you know, 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.000 NFL has to have protocol in place. They can always 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.720 reduce it, they can expand it once they put the 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.160 schedule in play. So you know, I like it because 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.800 it does provide hope for people that are just looking 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.760 for something to look forward to. And it's not saying 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.600 that it's etched in stone that it will happen. However, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.000 for me, I get a kick out of looking at 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.919 the schedule because there's so many ideas I have rolling 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.400 through my head. Yeah, and obviously the bye week is 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.000 what a lot of players look at, but I'm concerned 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:28.840 about Monday night just to night games. As pet Tom 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.080 mentioned in terms of the the in division schedule, you know, 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.560 when are those gonna come, whether it's facing Minnesota green Bay. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.120 Certainly you're gonna circle those two dates with the Green 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.640 Bay Packers in your division opponents. And again I'm with Tom, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.640 you know, I'm you know, I'm optimistic that they'll be 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.799 able to play football, you know, and that football will 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.359 be here in the fall. I want it to be here. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.840 I know it's going to be interesting how it unfolds 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.280 in terms of the COVID nineteen testing and the safety 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.080 of it and all that, but I remain optimistic and 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.360 hopefully that'll all rectify itself and we'll be able to, 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.280 you know, hopefully be a good distraction. I think people 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.000 do want it. I love that the draft went forward, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.920 and I hope that the NFL season does well. But 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.320 as we all know, it'll probably be by a state 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.680 by state basis, and how these governments start to roll 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.160 out both locally and state you know, statewide, and that 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.720 what teams or what states are going to allow teams 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.040 to do what be a lot of protocol, no doubt 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.360 about it. Also coming up here at about six oh 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.440 eight or so, we're gonna be joined by second round 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.520 draft choice Jay Lion Johnson, the corner out of Utah. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.720 Be looking forward to talk to him with Tom there 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.360 and Jim Meler, Jeff Joniac here on Bears All Access, 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.760 you know, and Jim, there's so much about the players 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.720 union in this too. How are they going to react 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:47.160 right now? Everything's is up to the player to work out, 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.640 get ready and then everybody's in their offseason protocol right 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.360 now in a virtual virtual sense classroom work. But you know, 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:58.160 it'll be interesting to see how all the universe treats 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.400 this if they get the green light. Yeah, you know, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.200 And it was interesting. I got to talk to to 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.160 Ted getting Junior obviously the newest Chicago bearer. He came 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.240 on serious and he talked to me because you know, 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.280 at that point I believe it was Kareem Jackson made 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.400 a statements like, hey, I'm not coming back to play 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.000 unless it's you know, it's one hundred percent safe. And 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.640 I think everybody knows that. Everybody wants it to be safe. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.240 Now can they guarantee it's one hundred percent? But yet 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.920 they're starting to roll out all these things, and you know, 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.240 and Ted said, hey, you know, I want to go 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.480 to work, you know, And I think some players may 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.520 choose to to go that route. I don't know, but 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.279 I think the safety aspect of it will be covered 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.320 in terms of the testing, and I think the entire NFL, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.080 the NFLPA wants that too. But I think we've all 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.200 got to be realistic also, you know, with what's going on, 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.640 it's not just here. This is happening globally, so you know, 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.320 you're kind of an unchartered territory and how we're going here. 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.599 And you know, players, you know, have contracts and we'll 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.479 see if the green light is given a given it 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.240 a go where everybody can show up and hopefully want 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.839 to play football. And you know, I think everybody wants 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.400 to get back to Gloma Sea as fastly as quickly. Now, 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.120 you know, Kareem Jackson, that's a perfect example time when 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:09.880 he says he wants to be one hundred percent. There's 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.520 no one hundred percent that anybody's gonna be avoid of 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.320 any type of sickness, let alone this one. So that's 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.159 not going to be. That's not a really a practical 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:24.159 statement now. And I don't think that the NFL or 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:28.560 the concept of the of everywhere going that they're just 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.880 not gonna do something independently and hazardous hazardously. So I 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.760 think there's gonna be the process in place to keep 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.160 these guys safe. And it doesn't keep them safe, I'm 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.160 sure they wouldn't do it right. There's a lot on 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.040 the line. The league's gonna have the players back and 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.560 the fans back as well. Coming up, Jayalen Johnson, the 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.920 newest Chicago Bear cornerback out of Utah, joins the program 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.840 with Tom There.

How you doing this evening? Doing fantastic? 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.640 Tom and I call the games on Bears Radio and 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.680 Jim works over at NFL Radio and Sire s XM, 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.839 and so good to have you alongside, you know, just 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:38.480 following your path to the NFL. I noticed that it's 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.200 kind of a family business with the cornerback position because 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.360 Dad played it, brother played it also at the college level, 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.520 and you're gonna be playing it now at the NFL 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.320 level as a high draft pick. I bet you guys 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.400 know how to talk defensive back play in that household 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.839 most definitely something that's fun and evolved over the years, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.640 coming through high school, in college and now just the 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.400 perspective that I have and that we have been able 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.279 to talk and learn about defensive and learn about just 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.280 how people are trying to attack, you know, how often 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.920 they're trying to win. I mean, the talks are definitely 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.600 fun to have and just I can just enjoy in 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.280 Chaffs to talk that we have a ball ball Jalen, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.080 you know you played on a really good college defense 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.119 last year. I was looking you guys gave up eighty 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.119 one yards are rushing eighty one yards rushing. They threw 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.800 on you guys about thirty one times a game. Then 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.720 I look at your status. You've got thirty four solos 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.880 and you got to assist. How does that work out? 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.600 Because I mean, are you on an island that you 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.240 have to prevent? You know it's a big cornerback prevention 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.760 or is that just the way the tackles worked out 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.920 for you this year? Now? I think a lot of 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.240 it came from being on an island most definitely, and 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.040 not feel like I always are not always the majority 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.280 of my tackles, opportunities that I had were always just 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.280 me by myself and me in the hope of field, 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.320 or just me and the receivers. I feel like a 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.400 lot of time just came from the position I was in, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.320 just being out there by myself. Jaylen, Jim Miller here, 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.840 Welcome to Chicago. I guess how different has it been 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.720 for you? You You know, it's great to get drafted. I 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.280 know your dream is coming true and it's probably settled 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.800 in that you're a Chicago Bear. But you know, virtually 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.400 getting to know your your teammates, you know, rather than 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.000 being in the locker room, you know, talking to guys, 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.960 talking shop, those type of things that haven't been able 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:33.600 to happen just yet. After the draft honestly hasn't really 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.200 hit me too much, and we haven't been able to 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.079 really talk too much in terms of like teammates and 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.360 stuff like that. I just talked to the coaches. But 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.720 we started rookie mini camps this weekend, and I'll definitely 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.520 start getting more acclimated with some of the other rookies 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.640 and then when camp starts as well virtually or when 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.800 we start meeting as a teams and getting acclimated with 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.319 the other the older Danes as well. I mean, we 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.920 haven't really did that too much yet, but that's going 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.040 to happen. I've coming for soon. Jaylen Johnson our guest 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.440 here on Bears All Access with town Fair, Jim Miller, 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.880 Jeff Joni Act, the rookie out of Utah, John of 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.720 the Bears, as he said this weekend in the rookie minicamps, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.599 as extraordinary as that is in the current environment. You know, 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.240 Jay Lin, I noticed that your Twitter handle is at 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:21.160 NBA x J one. I know basketball was a great 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.240 love of yours and if I'm not mistaken, you nearly 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.079 gave up football because of basketball at some point. Is 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.920 that is that the tie in with the NBA or 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.959 you just a love of the game guy, No, I 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.440 didn't get exactly acronym in the stands were never broken. 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.880 That was just some that I want to carry with 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.199 myself that I would just provide a better life for myself, 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.440 my family that I had my upbringing. So I mean, 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.679 I was just something I keep with myself. But that 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.600 doesn't correlate really with the NBA or the basketball NBA. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.839 Jayn and some of the obstacles you've been able to 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.240 overcome in a football life. A lot of us have 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.199 read about your shoulder injuries. How did how did you 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:07.480 get through that process without missing any games? Are just 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.000 started off the mental stuffingness first. I mean for me, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.280 it's always about um seeing a bigger picture and just 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.080 staying kind of true to what I had set out 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.120 from my team aspect and from individual aspects as well. 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.280 So just being able to play through um the pain 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.319 and a getting used to being uncomfortable. I mean, it 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:27.840 was something ideal with for a while. So I mean 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.719 it was just always about um looking forward and just 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.600 continue to try to better myself and just keep being 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.440 better and I'm making plays and just trying to survive 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:41.079 from my team the draft process, I mean, what what 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.160 were things that were brought to your attension of maybe 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.160 things you need to work on or tips you were 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.520 given that you know you really have taken to heart 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.640 to say, yeah, I could really elevate my game if 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.040 I kind of incorporate maybe one of these two things, 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.160 whether they're techniques, whether it's it's something cerebral and how 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.120 something has played. But what what have you learned throughout 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:04.840 that process and or to become a better football player. UM. Honestly, 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.400 the least thing I took away was just being consistent, um. 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.319 And I mean I feel like that's the hardest thing, 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.240 but that's the most important thing in this game, is 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.560 being more consistent in your technique or being more consistent 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.760 in communicating, being more consistent and um, all aspects of 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.079 the game. And I feel like for me, um, it 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.160 was it was hard to always be consistent and like 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.360 my tackling aspect because of my shoulder, I mean, I 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.719 was something that I really battled through trying to be 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.160 more consistent in that tackling technique. Um so, I mean 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.679 it was I mean, honestly just about being consistent, just 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.679 an all aspect. But I feel like tacklin was one 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:48.720 of my business with producer Sean Anderson, Jeff Jonny, Act 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.160 time Fair, Jim Muller two at Chicago Bears with us 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.480 is jan and Johnson joins us from Utah, the second 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.319 round pick of the Bears, as he gets ready for 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.480 rookie minicamp with the Bears. I love the way you 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.959 go by your business. You know, I've seen some video 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:07.040 of you discussing your value of watching tape and being 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.000 a game studier because there, first of all, there's not 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.640 a lot of kids that come in knowing how to 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.599 watch tape. They've got to learn how to do it 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.880 over time. Maybe they didn't get instructed the right way, 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.000 or maybe no one took him under the wing and say, hey, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.200 this is what you look for, But it showed up 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.920 in your play many times, especially making plays on the ball. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.079 Would you say, as you enter your first year in 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:32.920 the National Football League that already is one of your strengths. Yeah, 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:34.719 most definitely. I feel like that was something that I 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.199 focused on developing through my college career, and I was 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.439 my IQ. I'm not even just on the field, but 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.160 just in the classroom on the board and learning and 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.719 how to watch them like you mentioned, I mean, for me, 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.080 it was just about how can I figure out how 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.240 I can make my plague before I step on the field, 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.480 and not just trying to react and think about certain 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.200 things and not be too short on the field. I mean, 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.559 for me, it was just always about scrapping myself to 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.439 be prepared when I got on the field and I 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.040 fight out something that but you thought coaches did really 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.280 well with me and our defense in general, just how 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.640 to watch film situations, how to learn how to pick 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.520 up things from the offense and what little things offensive 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.319 are trying to do. My culture really installed that into it, 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.160 something that's definitely something when you carry into the league 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.679 and even improved even more and looking to learn that 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.800 from the veterans as well, and see also what they 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.760 like to watch and how they watched from the learned tendencies. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.080 Hey Jaylen, you know when you think about a cornerback 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.040 come in the NFL, the best friend is a heavy 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.960 duty front seven. When when you think of Akim Hicks 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.920 and Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn. You think of the 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.360 developing Roquan Smith and the experience of Danny Trevathan and 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.000 the other guys up there. It's got to be pretty 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.280 exciting considering the defense that you came from to the 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.320 defense front seven that you're going to. Do you study 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.880 that up front stuff at this time in the college 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.120 or do you become more familiar with it now that 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:02.640 you're a member of the Bears. That was definitely something 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.920 that we said even kind of looked at. It wasn't 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.280 something that we and they made too important, but it 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.760 was something that I developed because I mean, through my years, 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.920 the defense didn't change for me on the back end, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.559 so I like to look at what the linebacker, you knowing, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.959 how the D line we're doing stunt to make a 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.880 certain calls. So that was something that I paid attention 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.920 to the later years. I'm at Utah, I mean, just 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.400 coming into it now, I feel like I'm just going 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.040 to learn my position first before trying to develop the 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.880 whole defense or see what everybody else is doing. But 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.840 I mean, once I kind of get my responsibilities under 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.160 my felt and I can even enhance even more and see, okay, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.080 what other people are doing and how they're supposed to 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.320 do it and how it makes the defense run. Being 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.120 able to understand the whole, the whole scheme of things. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.000 So I mean, definitely I know who who got great 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.880 guys up front and out front seven I make my 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.440 job a lot easier. But I mean, right now, I'm 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.120 just focused on learning my job. Um what have you 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.800 been doing to us to stay in tip top shape? 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.000 You know you mentioned the mini camp just around the corner, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.480 and no, uh, you know you obviously want to come 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.960 in and show your wears and when that time comes, 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.000 But maintaining your health is the big thing. What are 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.280 you doing jumping in a jumping rope in the driveway? 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.480 What do you got going to stay in tiptop shape? 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.080 I don't know. I mean I'm just doing buil, doing 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.800 a rehab, a physical therapy on my shoulder to make 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.480 sure that. So, I mean it's just little things like that, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.960 and even conditioning on my own or running in front 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.400 of the house or running a mile around the neighborhood, 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.760 whatever it may be. Just always trying to find, um 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.000 something to better myself. But I mean I find different 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.880 things there to try to do. M I mean, I 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.760 can't live too many weights. I mean I just do 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.040 a lot of banded exercises and a lot of explosions 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.160 and things and jumping and doing a lot of legs. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.400 So um so, I mean, I'm just doing what I 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:52.000 can be right now, jay lin Jot said our guest 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.520 here on bears All Access. One more for me. We'll 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.440 let you go, jay Line, as you're ready for the 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.560 rest of your work week. The rookie out of Utah, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.160 You know, many people will always look at the SEC 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.480 a big ten to almost a lesser extent, but they 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.680 look at the SEC and those corners are ready to 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.840 play because they've placed X receiver. These guys are going 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.880 in the NFL. But the list of characters that you 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.920 had to deal with last year and throughout your career, 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:21.040 Utah Brandon I, Michael Pittman, Leabiscus, Chanal, Isaiah Hodgens, Desmond 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.840 Patman is probably going to be a surprising player for 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.760 the Colts. Aaron Fuller, all these guys you covered last season. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.880 You were the guy that was called the duty here 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.440 and you and you really limited these guys. Do you 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:37.400 almost take it as a personal not attack so much, 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.680 but that there there's more than meets the eye when 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.040 you go around the college landscape and find corners out there, 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.840 because you've got the mental and aggressive and the feisty 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.120 playmaking ability to step in and really compete for a 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.040 starting job in year one given what you faced already 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.920 NFL caliber receivers. I mean, how much for that? I 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.400 mean just being who I am and just being a 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.480 corner fact. I feel like I always take things as 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.119 I can attack and good things like that. I mean, 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.840 I feel like there's I mean, for me, like you said, 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.080 all the people I covered and the work all that 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.200 to do against those guys, I feel like it's just 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.600 who I am in terms of being able to really 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.680 cover high quality receivers and not just being out there 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.600 going against Joe Blow, but actually really going to be 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.240 able to compete against the best guys. And then I 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.879 feel like it was something that I took upon myself 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.960 and own the whole of going and following those guys 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.080 around and not just being Okay, if they're on my side, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.159 then okay, then I'll go garden, but going to go 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.159 get that matchup and forcing that issue to take that 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.920 responsibility upon myself. I mean that's just how who I 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.040 am as a person and just who I was and 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.600 who I am as a corner. So I mean, I 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.879 just I can challenge and I just being able to 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.600 living people from making places. All right, gentle, we'll let 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.680 you God good to meet ya. We're looking forward to 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.919 meet you in person one day. As we get yourself 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:00.720 for the twenty twenty SEA. He's gonna keep an eye 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.600 that schedule release coming out here at the bottom of 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.879 the hour. Buddy, it's gonna get real soon. Thanks for 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.760 joining us. Jaylen Johnson, who may the greatest quote? I 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.840 love it. I'm going to do all I can to 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.840 make teams to regret the decision to not pick me 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.400 in the National Football League draft Bears did in round two. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.200 Coming back with Jim and Time after this break on 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.400 Bears All Access on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.240 Welcome back to the segment of Bears All Access is 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.239 brought to you by CDW. People will get it learn 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.960 more at CDWAT dot com. Jeff jonny Ac time there, 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.080 Jim Miller with you as we get you set for 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.359 Ryan Pace at the bottom of the hour, as the 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:44.280 NFL schedule release will become official at that point. Lot 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.760 leaked already throughout the uh the world of Twitter verse 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.720 and whatnot. Jim Miller, and I'm sure you broke it 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.040 all down in the NFL Radio today on Sirius XM. 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.760 I know the rumor is Detroit will be the Bears 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.680 first opponent on the road in your neck of the 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.199 woods up there in Michigan, and the season would end 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.439 at home against green Bay, but a lot in between 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.440 some primetime games, all reported, of course, but we'll find 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.760 out here shortly. Yeah, and well, you know, I think 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.399 those division games are important, especially when your kick off 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.840 your season against the division opponent. Again, we say it 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.320 all the time. You win your division, you're you know, 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.600 you're probably going to get a playoff spot. You are 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.879 going to get a playoff spot, So focus on that. 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.600 And it starts Week one, will be on the road 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.320 to Detroit. There'll be a much different looking team, obviously 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.439 with Stafford finally healthy from that standpoint, and they got 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.679 a lot of new players. Defensively, you know a lot 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.240 of players shipped out the door. They've got new players 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.960 coming in. Snacks Harrison no longer there is a run stuffer. 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.920 But they brought in Danny Shelton from the New England Patriots, 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:47.359 guys like Jamie Collins, athletic linebackers. They've upgraded. There's secondary 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.159 in my opinion. Granted they may have lost big play Sleigh. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:51.800 I don't know how many big plays they made because 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.960 they were twenty eighth in the NFL. I think they're 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:58.439 better with Desmond Truffon and drafting Jeff Okuda. So certainly 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.240 the Bears will be ch that first week of the 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:05.920 season with what they'll be facing in division. You know, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.639
