Here are your hosts, 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:24.160 Jeff Chilliac aka the Mayor of Bearsville and his sidekicked, 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.840 Tom the Surfmaster Thayer look everybody. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.200 Riding a three game winning streak, the Bears getting ready 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.320 to head to Washington, d C. Actually landover Maryland for 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.040 the matchup against the Washington Commanders. It feels big, Tom Bayir, 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.040 it feels big here on ESPN one thousand of the 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.240 Bears Radio Network. This is Bears Weekly after a bye 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.840 and a big win in London. This just feels big 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.040 now four and two and things headed in the right direction. 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.080 Four and two, and we've had two weeks to talk 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.640 about it. You know, you always have that feeling when 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.760 you're on a roll. You'd like to stay on a roll. 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.440 But fortunately after the Bears came back from London, they 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.040 had a little bit of time to readjust and get 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.640 ready for this eleven game push. Because I think the 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.319 fun of the season hasn't really started yet. It's just 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.880 kind of pushing that boulder over the hill in waiting 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.440 for this thing to start gaining some momentum steam and 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.800 there would be nothing better than a victory in landover Maryland. 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.440 Coming up tonight, We've got a full show, lots to cover, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.319 including Jack Samborne I sit down with us. We'll hear 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.440 from the coordinators as per usual, also one on one 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.119 with Travis Smith, the Bears defensive line coach on a 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:37.120 fastly improved defensive line getting contributions from many and some 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.200 other surprises along the way as well. Thanks to Justin 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.720 Pottinger and Matt McMaster in the studios tonight, as well 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.120 as Dan Brillly, Jordan Treadup, and the executive producer of 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.520 The Bear's Ready to Network, Eric Ostrowski. Let's dig into 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.400 the injury report, Tom Bear's perspective. Still know Jakwan Brisko 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.880 or Tyder Gordon did not practice the last two days 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:59.760 concussion and hamstring respectively. Tyreek Stevenson though on the field 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.640 limit with a caff he missed the London game. 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.520 Your thoughts on the secondary. 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.360 You know, calf in a hamstring. I kind of understand 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.800 those injuries. Because of the severity of the pull, it 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.800 usually takes a little bit of time to recover to 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.760 get back up to realistic playing strength. My concern is 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.799 with Jakwan Brisker if in fact he is still in 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:26.320 concussion protocol after a two week period. I'm concerned about 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.400 that because usually these guys are able to bounce back 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:34.280 after a two week concussion protocol. And you know, maybe 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.880 Jikwan will surprise us all and practice tomorrow, get the 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.280 okay to play on Sunday afternoon and come back. But 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.040 the other guys, they're great athletes, and sometimes when you're 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.800 a great athlete, you have those types of tweaks that 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.000 take a little while to heal. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.480 All right, there's a full compliment of players that practice 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.520 full today that we have not seen for a while. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:59.280 Cornerback Terrell Smith, defensive lineman Zach Pickens, defensive end Jacob Martin. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.160 Since the first padded practice of training camp, Travis Homer 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.440 has been on ir with a finger injury, and Scott Dally, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.359 the long snapper, missed the most of that game in 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.440 London after covering a kick. He had a knee injury, 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.760 but looks like he's full go and what are your 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.320 thoughts on You know, there's a lot to choose from here. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.600 If you want to strengthen the depth of the roster 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.799 with these guys possibly returning. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.560 Well, it makes practice more competitive. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.200 If you really want to earn a game day Jersey, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.200 you can't just go through practices with a lackluster attitude. 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.520 Jacob Martin has to show some burst off the edge. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.960 Travis Homer has to show a little bit of burst 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.160 from the running back position. Terrelle Smith has to show 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.040 that he's healed up from that hip issue that he 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.600 can go out there and play cornerback at an NFL level. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.760 So every one of these guys, including Zach Pickens, that 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.320 are getting back in the mix, they got to prove 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.640 to their specific position coaches that hey, coach, I'm ready 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.200 to go and I want to be in consideration for 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.440 that game day avation. 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.120 So for Washington, Jade and Daniel still no practice, but 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.840 the word is Tom from multiple reports that they're going 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.280 to see how he looks on Friday. 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:08.760 Where are you sitting on that. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.520 You're a veteran looking at these injury reports when you 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.240 don't practice all week and then you try to go 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.880 on Friday at the quarterback position. 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.560 You're a rookie. You got a rib injury. We don't 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.200 know the severity of it, but or what exactly it is. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:22.839 But what do you think. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.240 So when you go back and you watch the tape 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.159 of the game, he hurt his rib on the very 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.120 first play of the game and then suffered through about 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.720 another ten plays before he came out of the game. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.240 In every single play after that, he kind of touched 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.279 or grabbed the area that was bothering him. How what 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.160 is his pain tolerance? Is he willing to take one 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.000 of the most painful shot in the numbing business in 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.280 the NFL in order to get on the field and 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.400 get some relief over the period of time, or is 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.800 it going to be such a painful situation for him 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.400 that it's gonna effect infect his affect, his accuracy, his 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.520 willingness to run. There was even a couple of runs 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.039 after he injured it that he kind of laid down 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.200 at the defender's feet. Listen, all due respect in the 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.800 world to Jane Daniels. He has got a bright future 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.159 ahead of him. He's got to do what is the 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.360 safest for his future. And if he can take that 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.800 pain numbing shot and he's willing to you might consider that. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.760 But if he doesn't, let Marcus Marrio to play. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.680 So you say pain numbing? Is the shot itself painful? 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.800 The shot itself is one of the most painful shots 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.480 that you could possibly take in order to try to get. 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:36.599 Relief in the area. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.400 And the thing about shots in the NFL, you have 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.960 to tell them specifically where you need that shot to 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.760 go in, because if they're a little bit off, it 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:51.120 cannot work as effectively as if it's exactly on the spot. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.880 And having had that shot before, it's not pretty. It 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.560 keeps you up at night, and it's not fun going 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.960 into that locker room before kickoff and say, okay, Doc, 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.479 I'm ready, let's get this done. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.239 The interesting thing and talking to Travis Smith, the Bear's 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.839 defensive line coach, what he tells his players in terms 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.120 of the whoever plays it. 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.960 It's mindless and faceless. You just play who plays in 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:15.400 front of you. 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.320 There's no name attached, So get ready for Marcus Mariota, 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.599 get ready for Jade and Daniel, doesn't matter who plays. 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.280 I think Eric Washington said that kind of the same 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.080 thing at the podium. They're not going to change their 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.960 offense specifics in the style and what they want to do. 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.120 Because one quarterback is playing and the other ones not. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:38.000 It's about playing. The Washington Commanders they only install one offense. 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.880 They don't install an offense for Jade Daniels and then 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.400 one for Marcus Mariota. It's about one offense that the 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.160 Commanders are all taught well. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.680 Jaydon Daniels off to a great start, and Marcus Mariota 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.800 had a great game against Carolina and his performance completing 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.039 better than seventy percent of his passes, a couple of 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.720 touchdown throws, no interceptions. When we come back, we'll hear 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.360 from Jack Sanborne and I met with him earlier today 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.599 here at hallisaw. This is Bears Weekly on ESPN one thousand, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.920 had the Bears Radio Networks. Welcome back to Bears Weekly 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.160 on a ESPN one thousand of the Bears Radio Network 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:12.760 with Tom Thayer. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.680 I'm Jeff Jioniak. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.760 Joined our special guests as were brought to you by 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.400 Igs Energy Bears linebacker Jack Sanbourne. He's been with us before. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.400 I know he'll be doing it again. Good to see you, Jack, 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.800 Always a big smile on your face. How you feeling good? 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:25.520 Great to be here. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:26.760 Yeah, what'd you do in the bye week? 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.560 I was here for the most part, and then actually 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.800 over the weekend went to Austin, Texas. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:33.120 Okay, just had a little fun. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.800 What's that main street in Austin, the big one, sixth Street. Yeah, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.480 I've never been there, but I heard about six Streets 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:39.000 A good time. 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:40.720 Yeah, it was a solid time. I mean we went 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.840 primarily for one of my buddies, a big ut fans. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.120 So we're playing Georgia and I thought it was a 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:46.840 good opportunity. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.960 Yeah, tell us about the game. What's your scouting report 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.600 on that? If you had to wrap that up in 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.000 a scouting report, what would you say? 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.560 There were a lot of turnovers in the games. I 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.720 wouldn't say great offensive play, but I mean both teams 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.880 are pretty solid, but Georgia definitely got the Georgia definitely 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:01.880 got the huh upper hand. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.840 Heyjack, you and I both be in local guys, and 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.200 I always had to designate my mom as my ticket 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.600 manager once we started having some success. Have you designated 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.840 anybody in your family as your home game ticket manager? Oh? 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.520 My mom's been at for the most part, and especially 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.760 with London. I mean I think London was the big 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.400 one where she had to kind of coordinate everything with 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.800 the amount of people that wanted to go to London 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.880 to support the team and support myself and everybody else. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.040 You know, that was my seventh international trip as a 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.480 player and a broadcaster, and it's the first time that 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.280 we've ever stayed out in the country where it was 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.760 more of a training cab atmosphere than it was staying 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.600 at a hotel in a city, and everybody taken off 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.200 in different directions after practice. How did you like that 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.960 for your first trip being kind of out in the country. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.320 You were right, it kind of felt like when we 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.319 went to Indianapolis last year for joint practices and kind 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.679 of just being with the guys in the hotel for 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.560 an extended period of time, because then we got there, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.560 arrived Tuesday morning, and we still had some time to 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.160 get out, like guys on Tuesday and then a little 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.800 bit on Friday, we're able to get out and go 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.160 down to London. But you're right, we were far away 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.480 from London, about an hour and a half out, so 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.560 a lot of times you did have to stay at 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.040 the hotel, and I thought that was a good time 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.720 to hang out with guys you know, play cards, do whatever. 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.960 And yeah, I thought it was a good trip, and 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.600 I think overall it was definitely better to go early. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.280 Just yeah, I can imagine kind of getting there later 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.439 because I think even during the week, I mean, getting 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.760 adjusted to the sleep, getting adjusted to everything like that. 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.720 It definitely is a different environment out there. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.520 You know, when we came home, I don't know how 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.760 you felt, tom because we had home right around, you know, 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.640 twelve thirty and get home, and we drive a lot 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.280 longer than Jack and the guys do out here in 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:43.160 the northern suburbs. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.880 But I had no problem. I got up at normal 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.000 time and back. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.760 Yeah, yeah, I mean it awesomely easier coming back. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:50.520 That was. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.199 Do you feel that way too, Tommy. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.520 Yeah, I felt a lot easier coming back than going there. 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.360 Did you hit the golf simulator in there? 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.520 They had a simulator? We hit the golf course? 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.960 Actually, oh okay, who was in your group? 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:01.800 Me? 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.160 TJ and Chris Glazer? Okay, okay, yeah, but you hit 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:06.640 him straight. 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.360 It was good rain, I mean, and in typical London 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:14.360 fashion is pouring rain and so that wasn't great, but 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:14.560 it was. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.480 Actually a good little time. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:15.880 It made it. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.800 It made it enjoyable and made us have a lot 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:18.240 of exp. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.079 One thing I noted it was peaceful out there. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.160 I know it was why the birds in the morning, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.120 but you know the front nine was absolutely brutal. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.040 And then did you talk did you talk in an 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.160 English accent a bunch when you were out there on 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:29.640 the course? 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:30.840 No, strictly American? 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.120 Hey, Jack, So a quick question about the Washington commanders. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.320 So they Jane Daniels, you don't know what his UH 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.560 situation is leading up to the game, but then they 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.440 have Marcus Mariota and he's an RPO quarterback. So Jack 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:50.000 Sandborn the linebacker, are you involved in the game planning 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.520 a little bit more when you face a running quarterback 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.920 as opposed to UH facing a passing quarterback. 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.439 I mean, I think a lot of it comes down 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.000 to exactly what type of personnel they're really really utilizing. Okay, 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.200 but I mean, and a lot we do have game 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.360 plan from me in the game especially and certain personnel groupings. 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.880 But like you were saying about Mariota, I mean I 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.120 remember playing him two years ago when he was in Atlanta, 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:17.400 and very similar stuff they were doing in Atlanta with 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.600 him at quarterback to what Kingsbury and is doing right 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.600 now with Daniels. So overall, I mean, I don't think 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.760 the offense is going to change whether who's in there. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.640 But at the end of the day, it's about us 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.520 and you know, playing to our rules and playing to 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.760 our ability and you know, being on the same page 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.120 and making sure whoever's out there and whatever they're trying 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:36.680 to do that we're ready to stop it. 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:37.520 Yeah. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.800 You know, with Marcus Mariota in the lineup, for me, 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.920 it would have my radar up a little bit more. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.240 Because he's got nothing to lose. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.640 He's not auditioning for seventeen games or to become the 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:47.440 starter there. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.440 He's there to hold down the ford. 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.120 For a game or two. And when you have a 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.439 quarterback that still has his skill level and probably likes 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.520 to run it more than throw it, you know, he 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.960 would you know, increase my awareness of him at the 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.079 quarterback position for sure. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.120 I mean he's a guy that's been in the league 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.720 and been in big games and been in the league 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.040 and has won games. And I mean he can force 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.199 sure go out there and throw the ball, run the ball, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:12.920 but at the. 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.000 End of the day, win games. 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.200 And I mean that's what he's He's done that many 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.280 a time, so it's definitely it's not like, oh, there's 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.880 a big drop off or a big you know, game 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.800 plan changes whether whoever, whichever quarterback is in the game, 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.079 there's definitely some continuity. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.520 Jack sandbarn Our guest here on ESPN one thousand of 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.079 the Bears Radio Network. You know, you've been in the 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.440 league a while now, so you know when you see 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.120 young quarterbacks, sometimes they look young. Sometimes they play through 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.680 it as the season goes on. Sometimes they don't. And 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.560 I was looking at some statistical work by this Twitter handle. 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.320 NFL notifications want to give them their props. They did 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.679 an analysis of how many quarterbacks throw on a percentage 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:56.080 basis on their first read, and Caleb Williams is in 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.120 the top five of those not throwing on their first read, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.440 which means they're reading field. Jayden Daniels doing it's seventy 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.480 something percent of the time going to the first read. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.880 I'm sure in your analysis and your tape study you 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.040 see these things as well. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.800 Is that help you decipher a. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.920 Young quarterback who actually is young NFL wise, but he 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.320 played so many college games nearing sixty times. I mean, 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.440 he's he's got some games under his belt, but does 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:21.240 that help you prepare? 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.880 I mean, like that, just going off for him, I 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.319 remember him in college. I mean, we actually played against 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.720 him when he was at Okay, when he was at 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.920 Arizona State, I mean, and going off of kind of 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.680 oh the first read. I mean, one thing that's so 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.080 dynamic about him is his ability to then take off. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.320 And you see that a lot of times if maybe 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.480 the first read isn't open, maybe he's not looking for 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.960 the second rate, but with his legs he's able to 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.760 expand get out of the pocket. And I mean he's 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.040 done a really good job of once he gets out 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.480 of the pocket, not necessarily running right away, but also 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.880 looking down feel and able to hit guys. And that's 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.640 why it's gonna be so big just staying in coverage, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.680 staying on guys, because he does have that ability to 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.760 expand the expand the play and then in return get 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.640 guys open that way. But like I said, I mean, 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.840 he's very dynamic and what he does and how he 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.520 does it. And you know, to see the steps that 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.440 he's kind of taken in the passing game from where 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.800 he was when I played him in college has really been. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.080 Yeah, and you got to stop the run. I mean, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.040 they get explosives. 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.520 They have a lot of every back, including Jayden when 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.800 he runs twenty plus yard runs each each of them 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.680 have at least two this season. And I know that 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.960 doesn't sound like a lot, but explosives of are hard 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.880 to get against good defenses. So how do you feel 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.000 about the way the run defense? You know, maybe you 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.440 get a gash here and there, but you guys have really, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.160 you know, hunkered down over the course of a game, 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.160 if it happens early or if it happened late. 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.680 Yeah, I mean cliff Is Kingsbury over there is doing 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.320 a really good job of kind of changing his run 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.119 game from where they were when he was in Arizona. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.720 And just the amount of the variety that they have 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.400 in the run game, incorporating the college run game with 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.640 all the countertea poll ots reads off of it, and 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.400 you know, a lot of different stuff. So it really 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.160 tests the rules kind of of a defense. So that's 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.520 kind of what we're going to have to be big on, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.760 is just understanding each each person's job and understand your 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.840 role and also also being aggressive against it and attacking jack. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.120 If I was an offensive lineman, I would look towards 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.960 the sideline with you and Kyler Gordon standing there. If 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.760 you come into the game, I know you're part of 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.000 my blocking responsibility. If Kyler Gordon comes in the game, 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.560 sometimes he's the responsibility of a running back or whomever 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:24.360 has his has him. Are you guys interchangeable? Can you 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.960 run the same can can they call the same defense 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.480 whether Jack's in the game or Kyler's in the game. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.760 I mean, I think there are some things that are 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.320 different as to who's in the game, But for the 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.680 most part, a lot of times, a lot of calls 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.920 can be interchangeable. And I mean, Kyler does this, does 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.760 a really good job at getting in the box too 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.160 and playing little dirty football in there. And at the 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.120 same time, and I'll be out in the in the 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.640 split and I'll be out outside. So I think we're 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.600 very interchangeable on how we do it. It's not like 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.440 if one person's in it's drastically different. Obviously, you know, 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.040 I'm not going to be manning up guys in the 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.560 slot as often as Kyler is and stuff like that. 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.800 But for the most part, I think it's a good 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.479 good little continuity and good a little changeup. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.840 Becoming more familiar with this defense at home or on 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.080 the road. Do you like being on the road where 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.440 you can hear the quarterback cadence and seeing if he 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.600 becomes consistent with it, or do you like being at 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.160 home where you can hear anything and you're just kind 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.520 of reacting to the movement of the football. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.360 I mean a little bit of both. I think I 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.840 think everyone loves that kind of feeling of going on 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.480 the road in another place, person's environment, and you know, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.680 taking care of business and kind of shutting the crowd 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.560 down and doing all those kind of things. But at 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.040 the same time, and there's nothing like Soldier Field, especially 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.160 the past, especially the past what year and a half, 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.480 I mean, especially starting off this year, the place has 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.960 been absolutely rock And I mean when when it's towards 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.400 the end of the game there and the crowds getting 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.400 as loud as they can while we're on defense, I 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.120 think I think we're much more comfortable in that spot 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.040 than the offenses. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.080 Jack Sanborn, our guests are remaining moments with the Bears 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.800 linebacker here ANYPN one thousand of the Bears Radio Network, 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.119 You're a guy that just has to be I'm full 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.600 alert at any moment. As tom always says, there's never 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.800 a notification it's time to go. You're getting a handful 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.520 of snaps a game defensively, but you're playing as a 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.720 core special teams player mentally. Is that the biggest part 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.520 of your game right now is staying aware at every 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.720 possible moment when the base defense is going to be 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:23.360 called out there? 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:24.080 Uh? 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.600 Yeah, But I think I'm much better at it than 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.240 I was last year. And I think, like you said, 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.000 I mean, the biggest thing is kind of just mentally 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.240 because but you're not in there on every single snap, 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.840 you don't really have the exact the flow of the game. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:37.600 The understanding of the flow of the game is kind 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.120 of tough to read. But I think this year it's 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.000 a lot I'm a lot more prepared for it than 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.119 I was really last year. Not saying I wasn't prepared 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:45.440 for it last year at all, but it's just the 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.280 second year like used to it. Yeah, yeah, And I 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.880 mean I have a very good idea of when, when, 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.080
