Speaker 1: Episode one thirty nine. We are brought to you by
Speaker 1: Middle of Night. Can you name the musical group?
Speaker 4: I can't, but that's the first thing I thought of
Speaker 4: when you said that.
Speaker 3: Guess who?
Speaker 5: No, it's thin Lizzie.
Speaker 4: Yes, But anyways, that's the first thing I thought of
Speaker 4: when you said that.
Speaker 3: And you know, when you talked about what.
Speaker 4: Number podcasts is this one?
Speaker 3: Okay? I kind of wish it was almost number one.
Speaker 4: You take everything into account that's new about the interviews today,
Speaker 4: about the process that started on Monday. In What's going
Speaker 4: to go on in the future. It's almost like this
Speaker 4: is a whole new beginning of the Chicago Bears as
Speaker 4: a franchise, as an organization, as a coaching staff, and
Speaker 4: for a lot of the players. Even if the players
Speaker 4: have experience, to the players have the least amount of experience,
Speaker 4: it's a completely new process.
Speaker 1: Off season program officially opened up on Monday for Bears
Speaker 1: at the podium on Tuesday at Havis Hall. Caleb Williams
Speaker 1: one of them, and he was I'll tell you this,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of smiling. The foundation of the
Speaker 1: message is what really was set by Ben Johnson on Monday.
Speaker 1: I think from Caleb's point of view, and we're going
Speaker 1: to hear from each of these guys a little chunk
Speaker 1: of it. He's already challenging them a little quiz already.
Speaker 3: And that's the way it should be.
Speaker 4: This is not a process that is just going to say, Okay, guys,
Speaker 4: we're gonna meet here for ten minutes and then I'll
Speaker 4: see in a couple months. No, this is the first
Speaker 4: minute of the first day of the process that's going
Speaker 4: to start with a new coaching staff and a new
Speaker 4: head coach, and every single day we have to make
Speaker 4: improvement if we really want to get to where I
Speaker 4: think we can go. And whether you talk, you listen
Speaker 4: to a guy like Tremaine and Edmunds talk about where
Speaker 4: they're expected to be in threed months and hopefully in
Speaker 4: six months. But every one of these guys they understand
Speaker 4: what the undertaking is before them, and everything's a little
Speaker 4: different depend depending upon where you're at on the roster,
Speaker 4: what your position is, and what is required of you.
Speaker 1: We're brought to you by PNC Official Bank of the Bears.
Speaker 1: So the reaction to the first meeting with the new
Speaker 1: head coach, Ben Johnson leads us off at our Caleb
Speaker 1: Williams portion of the interviews the foundation laid. So let's
Speaker 1: listen into what Caleb felt about how that all went down.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was great being able to see him get
Speaker 6: up there. He says something that you know, you never
Speaker 6: forget your first day as a head coach, and you know,
Speaker 6: he said, it's a great day.
Speaker 7: You know, let's get this thing rolling.
Speaker 6: He he jumped out there and you know, set a
Speaker 6: bunch of du set a bunch of don't set a
Speaker 6: you know, a president of what we're going to be
Speaker 6: like as a team, finding our our identity and all
Speaker 6: of that. So you know, we're excited. Obviously we have
Speaker 6: to put into work. Can't be too excited because the
Speaker 6: work hasn't been done, but you know, definitely excited for
Speaker 6: what's to come and you know the future.
Speaker 8: How do you feel about the work ahead? It's five
Speaker 8: months from now till the season starts.
Speaker 9: How do you feel about what that's going to require
Speaker 9: of you, the opportunity that that presents.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm super excited about it. I think.
Speaker 6: Being able to be in this position, being able to
Speaker 6: have a first year the way I did, ups and downs,
Speaker 6: and then you know, to be able to come in here,
Speaker 6: you know, be as as as confident as I was
Speaker 6: last year, or you know, possibly even more, and uh,
Speaker 6: you know, to be able to get here with the
Speaker 6: you know, the group that we have. You know, I
Speaker 6: really can't wait to get to work with these guys.
Speaker 6: We've got a good group of guys personality wise, and
Speaker 6: then obviously you know, talent wise. It speaks for herself
Speaker 6: and you know what some of these guys have been
Speaker 6: able to do. And you know, somebody key pieces that
Speaker 6: we added so far as his team, and so you know,
Speaker 6: so far it's you know, we've meshed well, you know
Speaker 6: these past two days of introduction and now you know
Speaker 6: today of our first workout and getting after it. But
Speaker 6: you know, we're all really excited and you know we
Speaker 6: can't wait to put into work. Obviously, like I said,
Speaker 6: we have to do it. It's something you know that
Speaker 6: you know, the time, energy, efforts, sacrifice. And that doesn't
Speaker 6: just mean us putting in time on you know, on
Speaker 6: the board, us putting up you know, up time on
Speaker 6: you know, us us you know, being here working out, lifting,
Speaker 6: getting stronger, faster. It's also us hanging out in the
Speaker 6: off season, building that bond so that you know, when
Speaker 6: times do get tough, you know, because it's a long season.
Speaker 6: As I can say now, you know it's a long season,
Speaker 6: and and and so being able to build that bond
Speaker 6: off the field so when times get tough, you know
Speaker 6: we fight through it, We get through it, and you
Speaker 6: know we we keep going as a team. Ben said
Speaker 6: last week, at this offense is gonna likely require you
Speaker 6: to go under center more at this point of the
Speaker 6: off season, what does preparation look like.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just it's it's it's the whole thing.
Speaker 6: It's working it's working getting up to the line, you know,
Speaker 6: and and it's like visualizing like getting up to the line,
Speaker 6: santy cadence, being under center, you know, controlling those things,
Speaker 6: going over the riles. Concepts of full work in your
Speaker 6: head in the off season so that you know when
Speaker 6: those times hit and excuse me, it's fourth quarter and
Speaker 6: you know you're not you can't think about those things
Speaker 6: and you can't focus on those things.
Speaker 7: It's it's it's.
Speaker 6: Second nature, second habit, first nature, first habit of of
Speaker 6: you know, of of doing that and getting under there
Speaker 6: and you know, going through the cadence, going through the
Speaker 6: you know, the huddle form, the huddle uh sequence, getting
Speaker 6: up to the line, making checks if needed, anything like that.
Speaker 6: So it's practicing those things now, visualizing those things now
Speaker 6: and and building on those.
Speaker 4: Sense for how people it's going to push you out
Speaker 4: of your comfort zone as a coach.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean today we had uh, we had our
Speaker 6: our first quiz is a QB room and it's not
Speaker 6: like a real quiz where you know, you go up
Speaker 6: and right stuff.
Speaker 7: It's just us.
Speaker 6: We went over a few things like yesterday, talked about
Speaker 6: a few things and you know, been been you know
Speaker 6: walked in, uh you know this morning, flung open the door,
Speaker 6: you know, made a grand entrance. And then and then
Speaker 6: we got to work of of you know, him him
Speaker 6: testing us about what we talked about yesterday and things
Speaker 6: like that. So already first day in and challenging us,
Speaker 6: and you know we can't. Everybody loves a challenge in
Speaker 6: this sport. It's it's it's one of the you know,
Speaker 6: the great things about the sport. Every day is a challenge.
Speaker 6: And you know today we got our first one.
Speaker 7: What impress your most about? What then did Detroit?
Speaker 10: And how do you expect that he working with you
Speaker 10: will specifically benefit you and your career?
Speaker 6: I think us growing together is is uh key uh
Speaker 6: starting now, him pushing me key and and I know
Speaker 6: that and he knows that, you know, him pushing me
Speaker 6: because it's a as he says, and he as he
Speaker 6: said before, it's a QB driven league and so you know,
Speaker 6: being able to have that position right on every team,
Speaker 6: that's why that's why that position is so important and
Speaker 6: draft or you know, people trying to get the qbs
Speaker 6: is uh at this day and age of the game,
Speaker 6: I would say, is because it's so QB driven and
Speaker 6: if you have that position right, it helps with you
Speaker 6: know a bunch of different things. And so you know,
Speaker 6: so building that bond, you know, him pushing me and
Speaker 6: and and us growing together for for the years to come,
Speaker 6: is it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 7: I can't wait. And and you know.
Speaker 6: To be able to to help me, uh, you know,
Speaker 6: learn more about ball because he's super smart, super sharp
Speaker 6: and and and you know, grow and progressing those ways
Speaker 6: so that you know, year year four, you know, I'm
Speaker 6: out there and it's it's you know, Ben's obviously still
Speaker 6: you know, calling, Ben's doing his thing, but you know
Speaker 6: it's a it's a it's a Jared thing where Jared's
Speaker 6: out there now he's just you know, he's calling the
Speaker 6: whole game in the sense of when he's out there
Speaker 6: on the field and he's been the coach.
Speaker 1: And there he ends up with with what he feels
Speaker 1: he can learn from Ben and the reference to a
Speaker 1: Jared thing Jared without even thinking twice, you know, that's
Speaker 1: Jared golf up there and Troit. He's running the show
Speaker 1: in a trade that experience shows at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: It shows and settling things down when maybe they're not
Speaker 1: doing that well in a moment in time in the game,
Speaker 1: and that's where Caleb is looking to get to.
Speaker 5: I thought it was interesting too.
Speaker 1: Tommy playing quarterback on the field is played in gray.
Speaker 1: He's looking for black and white.
Speaker 4: The down a distance, the hash mark you're on, the
Speaker 4: time that's running on the clock, how much time there
Speaker 4: is left on the play clock, what the score is,
Speaker 4: the personnel groupings that you have on offense, and the
Speaker 4: personnel groupings that you're facing across the line. There is
Speaker 4: no guarantee exactly what you're gonna see is going to
Speaker 4: pertain to what is said in the huddle, and then
Speaker 4: when you break it, you're dealing with ten other guys
Speaker 4: in the huddle, and make sure you're trying to clear
Speaker 4: up that gray area as much as you are the
Speaker 4: play itself.
Speaker 1: He wants to be pushed and Ben Jonson's going to
Speaker 1: push him.
Speaker 4: What almost like if we don't even refer to last
Speaker 4: year anymore, because this is a whole new undertake by
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson, by Caleb Williams, by every single member of
Speaker 4: this football team and the coaching staff, and for what
Speaker 4: they're gonna do on a day by day grow by
Speaker 4: grow basis. This is gonna be pushed. There is gonna
Speaker 4: be some challenges mentally and physically for Caleb. There's gonna
Speaker 4: be a change in the process of the game from
Speaker 4: playing a little bit more under center to having play
Speaker 4: action passing as a major part of this offense.
Speaker 3: And then trying to learn the roles of all.
Speaker 4: Your assistance, and by assistance, I mean the exterior players,
Speaker 4: your wide receivers, your tight ends, your offensive line, your
Speaker 4: running backs. And then how what you say in the huddle,
Speaker 4: how it pertains to every one of those guys. And
Speaker 4: then how well are they learning it? Do they know
Speaker 4: it as quickly as you do, or are some of
Speaker 4: those guys gonna learn it so quickly. Maybe they're a
Speaker 4: sounding board that can help you develop a little bit
Speaker 4: a little bit quicker, or you can help them develop
Speaker 4: a little quicker.
Speaker 1: Thank you to our partners CDW and Lenovo who make
Speaker 1: amazing happen. To learn more at CDW dot com, slash Lenovo.
Speaker 1: Darnell right, also at the podium, the right tackling Detroit
Speaker 1: Penney Sewell. I was brought up by the media, It's
Speaker 1: been brought up to him. He watched a lot of
Speaker 1: Detroit tape already he sees some of it, at least
Speaker 1: in body type. Similar always watching him, trying to emulate
Speaker 1: things he does. You know, I would like to see
Speaker 1: Darnell just be Darnell and continue to grow Darnell Wright,
Speaker 1: And this is a very important year three, And I
Speaker 1: think I probably took the words out of your mouth
Speaker 1: on that one. Grow into your own frame and your
Speaker 1: own style. You got different coaches, Yes, Bean Jensen's the
Speaker 1: head coach and play caller by Dan roschar be a
Speaker 1: different offensive line coach.
Speaker 4: I see him as a guy that could be one
Speaker 4: of the most dominant right tackles in the league and
Speaker 4: most certainly one of the most dominant tackles within this division.
Speaker 4: So I want to see Darnell Wright expose more confidence
Speaker 4: within himself and let's see how that spills over to
Speaker 4: the rest of his offensive lineman. And when you talk
Speaker 4: about playing next to Jonah Jackson, here's a guy that's
Speaker 4: been around the league for a while, And here's two
Speaker 4: guys that can feed off each other and not only
Speaker 4: make the right tackle better, but they can make that
Speaker 4: whole right side better. And then you add Cole Kament
Speaker 4: and the rest of the tight ends. I do think
Speaker 4: that Darnell Wright has an upside that's unlimited and if
Speaker 4: he can turn into the offensive tackle where Ryan Poles thought,
Speaker 4: he could ultimately be the sky's the limit for this
Speaker 4: offensive lineman. And that's why he was at the podium
Speaker 4: today because he is one of the main cogs to
Speaker 4: the success of the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Let's listen in to Darnell write him being one of
Speaker 1: the better, one of the greater players for offensive line
Speaker 1: and today.
Speaker 10: I mean, obviously I'll watch him all the time, and
Speaker 10: just because his body type, I feel like he's similar
Speaker 10: to mine, so a lot of times, and then being
Speaker 10: in the same conference, obviously his tape comes up anyway,
Speaker 10: so I'll I'm always watching him, So yeah, try to
Speaker 10: emulate some of the things he does. Obviously he can't
Speaker 10: emulate everything. Some people are just different, people have different talents.
Speaker 7: But yeah, watch him.
Speaker 8: Turn out last month when when they were making moves
Speaker 8: to strengthen the office line. What was your reaction from
Speaker 8: Afar of seeing day by day have been all that
Speaker 8: life coming together.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think like for me personally, you know, that's
Speaker 10: that's really the only thing that uh I really ever wanted,
Speaker 10: Just like consistency with the people you know they bring in.
Speaker 10: I mean, I know coach Poe's he does a good job,
Speaker 10: and you know, he does his job and I try
Speaker 10: to do mine, and I know the guys he brings
Speaker 10: in will be a standard that.
Speaker 7: That we need.
Speaker 10: So I mean just seeing him really focus on that
Speaker 10: aspect of it, I mean, just being an old line,
Speaker 10: you know, I appreciate it, and then I think it'll
Speaker 10: be it'll be good.
Speaker 7: What do you think of Ben's a speech yesterday edge
Speaker 7: to the team. It was good, It was good. He
Speaker 7: was you know, there's a couple of things he said.
Speaker 10: I won't really mention, but he said some good things
Speaker 10: that you could tell he's made the right stuff, you know.
Speaker 8: What I mean, it's made the right stuff.
Speaker 7: How so, like you know, he just just little glimpses.
Speaker 10: Obviously we're not in full training camps or nothing like that,
Speaker 10: but just when he's talking, you can see how he
Speaker 10: gets fired up. He gets, you know, a lot of passion,
Speaker 10: and I think that's contagious.
Speaker 8: So what specifically are you excited to learn from Joe too?
Speaker 10: From Joe just him being a veteran guy, like like
Speaker 10: I was talking about earlier, a lot of experience, and
Speaker 10: I mean probably it's just the question that I don't
Speaker 10: even know to ask, you know what I mean, I'll
Speaker 10: probably just soak up being around him.
Speaker 7: So, right, the biggest thing how.
Speaker 8: Much interaction have you had with your new old line
Speaker 8: coach yet?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we talk a lot. Me and him talk a lot.
Speaker 10: But the most thing I'm excited about with him is just, uh,
Speaker 10: the way he's kind of he kind of inspires me
Speaker 10: to really like take a leap of you know, a
Speaker 10: leap of not leap of faith, but just not be
Speaker 10: afraid to fail.
Speaker 7: And I don't know, yeah, we talk a lot.
Speaker 1: So the end there is about Dan Roschar and as
Speaker 1: a coach ever said to you, hey, don't be afraid
Speaker 1: to fail.
Speaker 4: Well, you know one thing about offensive line play the
Speaker 4: specifics of techniques or the different versions that you want
Speaker 4: to use on different down and distances against the different
Speaker 4: talents that you're playing against. Sometimes during the course of
Speaker 4: the week in practice on the live days Wednesdays and Thursdays,
Speaker 4: you got to go out there and try different techniques
Speaker 4: with maybe you're going to fail, but then you also
Speaker 4: learn how to correct them and then how to improve
Speaker 4: on them. And that's the same thing as Dick Stanfel
Speaker 4: used to say, is look, I can only coach you
Speaker 4: for a certain amount of time. Then eventually you have
Speaker 4: to start coaching yourself. And that is part of the
Speaker 4: process of the development of offensive linemen is the offensive
Speaker 4: line coach is there to make sure that everything is
Speaker 4: being correctly taught and done and learned. But you're going
Speaker 4: to have to go through that practice process yourself as
Speaker 4: the player in whatever position you play, and make those
Speaker 4: incremental improvements so when you use him on the game
Speaker 4: field that they are successfully done.
Speaker 1: You ever remember a moment when you tried something you
Speaker 1: regretted it in a game?
Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred percent, give.
Speaker 5: Me one, Give me one.
Speaker 4: So we are getting ready to play against the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 4: and you knew that eventually Reggie White was going to
Speaker 4: line up on you, and so I go, Okay, what
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try to set really
Speaker 4: quick on him, get my hands to him powerfully before
Speaker 4: he can get his strength and momentum going. And so
Speaker 4: when I tried it, he slapped my hand away before
Speaker 4: I got any hand to him, and so right there
Speaker 4: it put like that unconfident chance to do that again
Speaker 4: to him, and so then it kind of limited me
Speaker 4: from trying it again.
Speaker 3: And then it worked against the I played, but I.
Speaker 4: Kind of had to go back into my thinking process, Okay,
Speaker 4: what do I do confidently and how can I handle
Speaker 4: this situation against Reggie White again? And so the next
Speaker 4: time I had a little different philosophical thinking. I asked
Speaker 4: Jay for a little bit more help and you know,
Speaker 4: paying attention. And so that's kind of way we went
Speaker 4: about our process. When you play against guys like Reggie White,
Speaker 4: who as big, strong, as dominant as anybody, but then
Speaker 4: you go play against the defensive MVP like Keith Millard,
Speaker 4: who's as quick and as fast as any defensive lineman
Speaker 4: you ever play against, and you have to have a
Speaker 4: different approach against him. So, you know, those are guys
Speaker 4: that are past greats, but it's something you may practice
Speaker 4: in practice and maybe sometimes it doesn't work, but again
Speaker 4: that's part of the growth process of any position.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and facing Aiden Hutchinson twice a year, I would
Speaker 1: feel that gives you the same kind of thinking in
Speaker 1: your head.
Speaker 5: You know, you got a brace for what he brings.
Speaker 1: He brings so much juice and energy off that line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, the spin move and how you'd battle that
Speaker 1: spin move because he's so great old.
Speaker 4: Well, one thing about ad and two and when these
Speaker 4: guys are going to play against them, so you play
Speaker 4: him one day, one game of year indoors and one
Speaker 4: game of year outdoors, and your whole thinking about balanced
Speaker 4: feet power is different indoors and outdoors. So you know,
Speaker 4: that's sort of the process that is you really don't
Speaker 4: talk a lot about, but it's also part of the
Speaker 4: thinking process of playing against these guys.

Speaker 1: the excitement is not just on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. With an offensive minded head coach and play
Speaker 1: caller of note and Ben Johnson, it's Dennis Allen's defense, aggressive, physical, nasty.
Speaker 5: That's the hope.
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson first at the podium among all the players
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, really excited about the tone set by Ben
Speaker 1: Johnson felt it was very important to be here right
Speaker 1: out of the gate to get to know everybody. So
Speaker 1: let's listen in to Jalen Johnson.
Speaker 11: Setting the tone for what we want to do this
Speaker 11: year and really just having a sense of urgency right now,
Speaker 11: not just waiting and going through a process and figuring
Speaker 11: out what we're going to do, but establishing who we
Speaker 11: are right now and then working towards that goal. Really
Speaker 11: just the mindset of winning and winning right now and
Speaker 11: winning a certain type of way too. I think just
Speaker 11: having that dominated mentality is something that I took from
Speaker 11: the team meeting, and it starts now. It starts with
Speaker 11: the work that we put in. It starts with jeling
Speaker 11: and being cohesive and understanding what they're going to be
Speaker 11: asking from us, especially on defense. Just understanding the mentality,
Speaker 11: understanding the mindset and identity that we're going to establish,
Speaker 11: and really just chasing that throughout the off season, throughout
Speaker 11: the training.
Speaker 8: Are you the type of guy who gets fired up
Speaker 8: in April by a new coach?
Speaker 7: I know the answer to this of asking any I've
Speaker 7: been through too many times.
Speaker 11: Man, I'm gonna get excited when we win in November,
Speaker 11: December and we changed some things and get to the playoffs.
Speaker 7: That's what I'll be excited. That's an extension of that.
Speaker 8: The next five months are going to be all about, Yeah,
Speaker 8: excitement and energy. How do you navigate that knowing your
Speaker 8: mindset and not really.
Speaker 7: Being don't got nothing to do with me.
Speaker 11: The only thing that has anything to do with me
Speaker 11: is the work that I put it in, work that
Speaker 11: we put in as a unit, and just taking the
Speaker 11: steps in the right direction. Other than that, to talk
Speaker 11: to hype and all that, I mean hype on with
Speaker 11: you know games. So I mean I've been here a minute,
Speaker 11: I've been through the hype, and we don't win no games.
Speaker 11: So I mean, for me, if it's not about winning artist,
Speaker 11: I don't really care about it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I played in a couple of different styles at
Speaker 8: the year.
Speaker 7: What have you been able to see watch or how
Speaker 7: do you feel like this would suit your skill set?
Speaker 11: You lock up the number one, go number one on
Speaker 11: number one. So I mean for me, that's what I'm
Speaker 11: looking forward to doing. That's what I look for for
Speaker 11: the most, that's what I trained for it, that's what
Speaker 11: I work hard for. So I mean, for me, it's
Speaker 11: just going to be about that being ready to go
Speaker 11: out there and lock up challenge guys make things hard
Speaker 11: on the offense, just messed up timing and then shoo
Speaker 11: the dogs up front. They got to eat, So I mean,
Speaker 11: everybody just do what they do best. Dogs eat and
Speaker 11: then the guys on the back end.
Speaker 7: We cover Alongos I expect to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jelen Alongos lines Don Silence historically played more main
Speaker 4: coverage that you guys have played around here.
Speaker 8: Are you looking forward to playing a little bit more
Speaker 8: man than maybe having the past?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like I'm best at.
Speaker 1: We don't think of the editions of Grady, Jarrett and
Speaker 1: Dio and what they can bring for your defense up.
Speaker 11: Front havoc from what I've seen, I mean, all I
Speaker 11: can see is the highlights on YouTube, but for the
Speaker 11: most part, I fly the aar they CAUs have it.
Speaker 11: Grady been playing this game at a high level for
Speaker 11: a long time. I've always been a big fan of
Speaker 11: his game, and he's in Atlanta, so I mean, definitely
Speaker 11: getting a dog like that up front, it's gonna help
Speaker 11: me out on the back end. And I know he's
Speaker 11: gonna call some havoc too in the run game. Hearing
Speaker 11: him when I think with a Bill will be a
Speaker 11: heck of a sight to see for sure. And then
Speaker 11: Dio I think him to just seeing how aggressive he
Speaker 11: is off the edge and just how disruptive he is
Speaker 11: can definitely help us on defense.
Speaker 4: Well, when you studied to feast the Lions offense, what
Speaker 4: you need to get a band and kind of what
Speaker 4: this offense will look like.
Speaker 11: I mean the biggest thing is eyes, just having good
Speaker 11: eye discipline, which is hard to do and getting smacked
Speaker 11: in the face almost every play and things like that,
Speaker 11: and then the receivers blocked hard. So I mean times
Speaker 11: you're trying to anticipate a certain blocking and then they
Speaker 11: run play action pass and things like that off of it.
Speaker 7: So I think that was probably the biggest thing.
Speaker 11: Just hearing the run game in the past game make
Speaker 11: challenging the defensive eyes good.
Speaker 8: You just following up?
Speaker 9: I uh, you're talking about wanting to win a certain
Speaker 9: type of way?
Speaker 7: What does what does that look like? What's the message there?
Speaker 7: Would you rather win about seven points or seventy? So?
Speaker 7: I mean for us, that's what keeps out.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean to me, you're get in a fight,
Speaker 11: you just don't want to barely win to fight you
Speaker 11: wanna whoop, You wanna whoop the guy in front of you.
Speaker 11: So I mean that's what that's what the mentality is
Speaker 11: for us. It's not just about barely winning or barely
Speaker 11: getting by, but dominating. And I think for us, that's
Speaker 11: that's the mindset that we need to have. And it's
Speaker 11: not just about trying to just get better and take
Speaker 11: the next step and just win more games.
Speaker 7: If we won last year, it's no.
Speaker 11: It's about to me changing in your mentality and how
Speaker 11: you go about attacking attacking thing. And I feel like
Speaker 11: as a unit, if we can go in with that confidence,
Speaker 11: that mentality that we're going to go and blow the
Speaker 11: team out in front of us and that they can't
Speaker 11: mess with us, then I feel like a lot of
Speaker 11: times that that will power will get you.
Speaker 8: We talked with Ben and Ryan last week about the
Speaker 8: whole accountability thing. I know we broched it a lot
Speaker 8: last year.
Speaker 7: As one of the leaders of this team.
Speaker 9: What do you want that to look like in twenty
Speaker 9: twenty five as opposed to where there might have been
Speaker 9: some pitfalls last year.
Speaker 11: With that you see you call it out. I think
Speaker 11: that's the biggest thing for me, and I feel like too.
Speaker 11: At this level, accountability isn't just talking to but about
Speaker 11: actions and changing certain things. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 11: if I can use myself as an example, if I'm
Speaker 11: not let's say, maybe covering, that's good out of need
Speaker 11: to to me, it's not just accountability.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, Jalen, just cover better.
Speaker 11: But I mean to me, there's a certain action that
Speaker 11: needs to be taken from somebody else to hold me
Speaker 11: accountable to that. So, I mean what that looks like
Speaker 11: is different for every player, every situation. But I think too,
Speaker 11: you gotta if you see something, say something, and then
Speaker 11: if it's not going to fix, you gotta do something.
Speaker 11: So I mean to me, that's that's what accountability is.
Speaker 1: See it, say it, fix it if things are not
Speaker 1: going well. I think he was pretty clear on what
Speaker 1: he's looking for as a veteran. He wants to win,
Speaker 1: and if that message is carried on for the other
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room, then I think the mindset
Speaker 1: already is completely different changed.
Speaker 4: He kind of reminded me of the announcement that you
Speaker 4: hear at airports. Now if you see something, say something,
Speaker 4: and so you have to have a really thick skinned
Speaker 4: locker room in order for that to happen, because Jalen
Speaker 4: Johnson has a lot of experience, and so if he
Speaker 4: sees one of his understudies or even a guy playing
Speaker 4: across the line across the ball from him, and he
Speaker 4: sees something that he thinks he can improve upon by
Speaker 4: some of the same thinking that he goes through before
Speaker 4: he faces a wide receiver, then yeah, encourage, say something,
Speaker 4: and then try to improve them.
Speaker 3: But I like Jalen's.
Speaker 4: Reference to man man coverage one against one, and that's
Speaker 4: what his game is all about. That's what they paid
Speaker 4: him for and that's what they expect out of them.
Speaker 4: And I think when Dennis Allen, the new defensive coordinator,
Speaker 4: gets an opportunity to study him a little bit in
Speaker 4: Al Harris, the defensive back coach, when they get a
Speaker 4: chance to understand the qualities of Jalen Johnson, maybe they'll
Speaker 4: figure out how to balance the defensive back coverage more
Speaker 4: accordingly to the weapons they're facing across the line of
Speaker 4: scrimmage from them.
Speaker 1: When I talk about a dominating attitude that Ben Johnson
Speaker 1: set the tone, Dennis Allen's carrying that baton as well.
Speaker 1: Would you rather win by seven or seventy and you know,
Speaker 1: you know exactly what that's like.
Speaker 3: Momentum of confidence.
Speaker 4: And the momentum of confidence is when you go out
Speaker 4: there and you convincingly beat your opponent, Because what that
Speaker 4: does that puts a little bit of concern in your
Speaker 4: next opponent and they're thinking, oh my god, they went
Speaker 4: out there and held these guys to seven or three,
Speaker 4: or their offense went out there and scored thirty five
Speaker 4: against against that team. So now the opponent is already
Speaker 4: thinking strategically how they're going to limit or hold or
Speaker 4: whatever side of the ball is, you know, showcasing their
Speaker 4: talent more effectively. And so I do think a heavy
Speaker 4: dose of beating teams convincingly does a lot for your
Speaker 4: overall confidence.
Speaker 1: I've been using this term a lot lately about bread
Speaker 1: crumbs in the media, asking questions or looking for breadcrumbs,
Speaker 1: and so they want to, you know, more insight into
Speaker 1: how a defensive player on the Bears looked at Detroit's
Speaker 1: offense and Jalen's talking about it demands eye discipline and
Speaker 1: if you'll think back to last week at the owners
Speaker 1: meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, Ben Johnson said, Hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I really like the way the Atlanta Falcons a few
Speaker 1: years back would just rush off the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: so you really couldn't tell if they were going deep,
Speaker 1: running short, or going to block you. And that's what
Speaker 1: that's what Jalen referred to. So the receivers in Detroit
Speaker 1: Blockhart off the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 5: It challenges your eyes, you know.
Speaker 1: That's a significant addition to what the Bears are going
Speaker 1: to be looking at from an offensive point of view,
Speaker 1: but an interesting take from a defensive players position, certainly
Speaker 1: in that secondary.
Speaker 4: Listen, man, that's what play action is all about, Jeff.
Speaker 4: When you go play action pass and you're an offensive line,
Speaker 4: you're coming off the ball a thousand miles an hour.
Speaker 4: And that's the thing about it is how deceptive can
Speaker 4: you be? We're always taught when you're running play action pass,
Speaker 4: you keep your helmets as low as you possibly can,
Speaker 4: because that's an added deception to the defense when they
Speaker 4: think that you're in a run blocking type of technique
Speaker 4: when the whole time you're just trying to sell a
Speaker 4: pass that's going to be thrown downfield in play actions. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: the more aggressive that you can come off the ball,
Speaker 4: run and play action, the bigger plays that you're going
Speaker 4: to create, And like Ben's press conference a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago when he talks about run after catch, it
Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily have to be a long pass, but if
Speaker 4: you can get those defensive back in a precarious position,
Speaker 4: whether they're off balance, out of position, and a backpedal,
Speaker 4: and you make that quick connection, now that offensive player
Speaker 4: is in charge.
Speaker 5: Hey Bears.
Speaker 1: Fan Steinhoffels a proud partner of the Chicago Bears and
Speaker 1: now opening to Orland Park. Steinhoffles is Chicago Land's furniture
Speaker 1: and mattress leader, with the largest selection to fit every
Speaker 1: style and budget, and is one hundred percent employee owned
Speaker 1: shop in storing online at Steinhoffels dot com. Jermaine Edmonds,
Speaker 1: the last of the four on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, was asked what he's heard from Dennis Allen
Speaker 1: in terms of messaging and what he respects about his
Speaker 1: coaching abilities.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it was very direct understanding where were at
Speaker 2: as a football team, Understanding you know, how we're going
Speaker 2: to get there, you.
Speaker 7: Know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Obviously, the messages, the message like we want to win,
Speaker 2: we want to win now. And I think saying that
Speaker 2: and being blunt with it is what we needed to
Speaker 2: hear because that's how mindset going into especially the guys
Speaker 2: that's been here, like we want to win and we
Speaker 2: got the pieces to win. And I think knowing that
Speaker 2: the coaches understand that coming in, it's not like a, oh,
Speaker 2: we're gonna take the back here, is like nah, like
Speaker 2: this is what we got.
Speaker 7: Now let's put the plan in action. So it's all
Speaker 7: about the work, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I can tell you know just by his energy, his passion,
Speaker 2: the way he communicated his words, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: the tone of what he communicated, it's all geared towards now,
Speaker 2: like we want this to happen right now, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. They don't have to, like we're not
Speaker 2: waiting for anything, Like let's get this thing. Let's hit
Speaker 2: the ground running. And that's what the message is. And
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, that's what we received as
Speaker 2: players and more than all, like that's that's what I
Speaker 2: receive as a player, and you know it's it brings
Speaker 2: excitement because I mean, we're all excited, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, And not just that, but it's all about belief,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, belief that we can win now,
Speaker 2: belief that you know, we could be special right now.
Speaker 8: What was Ben's message yesterday and what did that look like?
Speaker 4: Was it him in front of the whole team and
Speaker 4: how long did he talk?
Speaker 7: What he say? Yeah, it was him in front of
Speaker 7: the whole team.
Speaker 2: Like I said, some of those things that I just
Speaker 2: talked about, you know what I mean, it was his message.
Speaker 2: It was just about mindset, mentality and talking about what
Speaker 2: we need to do right now starting day one.
Speaker 7: As you know what I mean. As an organization. People
Speaker 7: have talked about his intensive right do you feel that? Yeah,
Speaker 7: you can feel it.
Speaker 2: You can feel it, man, Just like I said, the
Speaker 2: confidence level, you know, like you said, being a first
Speaker 2: time head coach, being able to address the room. That's
Speaker 2: important because you feel that as players, you feel that
Speaker 2: as you know what I mean, just everybody in the
Speaker 2: room and you know what I mean, stepped up there
Speaker 2: with confidence.
Speaker 7: You know, guys, was all theirs you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean, gave him the utmost respect and
Speaker 2: that's what it's all about, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And you feel that as players. I felt that, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, this got a real deal. Like you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, we got the same type mindset.
Speaker 2: So that's the thing that you get most excited about
Speaker 2: even walking out that room. It's like, Okay, I feel
Speaker 2: the energy. Let's put the work in as players now right.
Speaker 8: You can all sat with the Buffalo and the Bears.
Speaker 9: You've been on most sides respectrum, winning and losing, and
Speaker 9: so you know what it looks like for a team
Speaker 9: to be in win down mode. Do you feel like
Speaker 9: that's legit here with the Bears, even having lost ten
Speaker 9: in a row last year, that this is winning down
Speaker 9: You guys are capable of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah. One percent. And that's what I just talked about.
Speaker 2: Like his message, that's what we all think, like is
Speaker 2: definitely when now mode And that's only mind set to
Speaker 2: have time with a head.
Speaker 8: Coach and getting that chemistry built. Why is this time
Speaker 8: of the year so important for you guys?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's important.
Speaker 2: I mean anytime you have new pieces, you know, just
Speaker 2: new changes in the organization, like you have to be
Speaker 2: able to like fill each other out, like at a
Speaker 2: slower pace, I would like to say, rather than just
Speaker 2: jump right into practice and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 2: It's like, nah, this is the time, Like you gotta
Speaker 2: build your team chemistry. This is the time team bonding,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, the things off the field
Speaker 2: that people don't necessarily see from the outside, but those
Speaker 2: things are important, and you know what I mean, it's
Speaker 2: equivalent to winning. And you got to be able to
Speaker 2: build that as a football team. You got to be
Speaker 2: able to go through the hard You got to be
Speaker 2: able to go through the workouts. And just like the
Speaker 2: time that we spend in the off season, that's gonna
Speaker 2: you know, excel us come training and cap that's going
Speaker 2: to exell us come those tough times later on in
Speaker 2: the year. You know, when we're thinking back on these
Speaker 2: hard workouts we have, we thinking back on you know,
Speaker 2: where we started at as an organization, and like I said,
Speaker 2: it's about getting to know one another too, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. It's a lot of new faces in here,
Speaker 2: not just players but coaches. Like each year in the
Speaker 2: league is different. You got to be able to you know,
Speaker 2: to understand where this person came from, this background, their background,
Speaker 2: and all of that stuff happens in the off seasons.
Speaker 2: So it's just about you know what I mean, getting
Speaker 2: around one another, you know, filling that energy out and
Speaker 2: really just building, you know what I mean, because everything
Speaker 2: starts all over. It's life of the NFL, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Each year starts all over from ground zero.
Speaker 2: So it's about building that foundation and being able to
Speaker 2: take that have that foundation and take us through, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean the rest of the year.
Speaker 8: I did you what did you respect most about Ben
Speaker 8: as an opponent?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Honestly just to mindset I think.
Speaker 2: I mean when you ask people about you know, let's
Speaker 2: just say Detroit, you know what I mean, and what
Speaker 2: he was able to do just the mentality of I
Speaker 2: would say what they offense wanted to do to opponents.
Speaker 7: It was put up a lot of points, you know
Speaker 7: what I mean.
Speaker 2: And I think you can feel that, like, you know,
Speaker 2: this guy not just he don't just want to win,
Speaker 2: but now we want to win by a lot, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, We want to dominate. And you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, I think that's that's that's important,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That just talks about his
Speaker 2: mentalit it talks about his mondseet is like not like
Speaker 2: we want we're gonna be the best that we're going
Speaker 2: to be, want to dominate and we want to pointed
Speaker 2: to field, that for sure.
Speaker 1: So I again, all four of these guys, Tom talked
Speaker 1: about the excitement the vision that each has. But what
Speaker 1: stuck out with me is about just what you said,
Speaker 1: starting the year from scratch right, new new attitude, new belief, Nucius.
Speaker 1: It's all about belief, and he feels it special right now.
Speaker 5: And they all want to win. The messages win now.
Speaker 4: You know. And I like that message because Tremaine was
Speaker 4: asked when he was up there about being on the
Speaker 4: winning side of football and the losing.
Speaker 3: Side of football.
Speaker 4: But I think that kind of goes out the window
Speaker 4: because it's about what they're going to develop with this
Speaker 4: group of guys inside this organization and this building going forward.
Speaker 4: And I think Tremaine Edmonds is a great leader in
Speaker 4: that locker room.
Speaker 3: He and TJ.
Speaker 4: Edwards are two premier linebackers within this division.
Speaker 3: And I think when.
Speaker 4: They're going to go and work with the tools and
Speaker 4: the assistance of a guy like Dennis Allen and the
Speaker 4: rest of that coaching staff, these guys, you know, their
Speaker 4: bar has to be set high. And that's why we're
Speaker 4: sitting here talking about winning after the season they had
Speaker 4: last year, because I do believe that the confidence starts
Speaker 4: on Monday, and it's only going to build from there.
Speaker 1: As a fellow, it was interesting and important at the
Speaker 1: same time to hear Tremaine because we all wonder what
Speaker 1: first time head coaches are like in front of a
Speaker 1: team and how it's accepted. It could go south on
Speaker 1: day one, a message could go south and the very
Speaker 1: first meeting five months from the start of the season,
Speaker 1: long way from training camp. And clearly that is not
Speaker 1: the case here because and the player and Tremade admitted it. Yeah, players,
Speaker 1: eyeball it right out of the gate.
Speaker 4: You're not going to have a bad first day. It's
Speaker 4: going to be excitement, it's going to be encouraging. I
Speaker 4: think the momentum and just everything that's running through the
Speaker 4: building is at a super high level, because that's why
Speaker 4: all these guys are there.
Speaker 3: They want to make sure that they show the coaches.
Speaker 4: With a handshake or eye contact that what they believe
Speaker 4: that they're capable of being immediately. And so it was
Speaker 4: exciting to listen to the guys talk at the podium,
Speaker 4: and I'm excited to listen to what they talk about
Speaker 4: down the line. You know, one thing that's I was
Speaker 4: thinking about the Bears last night. Last year, we talked
Speaker 4: a lot about where Detroit played a majority of their games.
Speaker 4: Now this is a Bears team that's going to play
Speaker 4: twelve outdoor games. So that's a completely different type of
Speaker 4: team that you have to get ready because the conditions
Speaker 4: aren't gonna be guaranteed a majority of the time. They're
Speaker 4: gonna be whatever the outside environment offers you. And that
Speaker 4: changes your day to day thinking as an offensive coordinator
Speaker 4: and a play caller, because if you go out and
Speaker 4: you're playing an indoor facility, you know what exactly what's
Speaker 4: going to be. But then you go outside and you
Speaker 4: get one of those San Francisco days from a couple
Speaker 4: of years ago. Oh, or you get thirty mile an
Speaker 4: hour wins off the lake one day. It really it
Speaker 4: changes the process of your thinking. And that's where this
Speaker 4: team is gonna have. That's what they're going to have
Speaker 4: to be ready for as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eight or nine guaranteed Dome games plus Minnesota. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is you know, you wonder if he's ever had
Speaker 1: twelve outdoor games to call as a play caller in
Speaker 1: a single season.
Speaker 5: Think about your next.
Speaker 4: Question is about for Ben is when you look you
Speaker 4: look ahead and you're thinking, Okay, we're playing twelve outdoor games,
Speaker 4: and look at some of them that are in the
Speaker 4: back half of the season right now. The conditions are unpredictable.
Speaker 4: The field conditions, the foot conditions, the win conditions, they're
Speaker 4: all unpredictable.
Speaker 1: Our aches, pains, or injuries keeping you on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: Athletico's movement experts are here to help you turn your
Speaker 1: setbacks into comebacks and create a personalized game plan for
Speaker 1: your recovery with no prescription or referral needed. Athletical Physical
Speaker 1: therapy is where your comeback story begins. Athletic is proud
Speaker 1: to be the official physical therapy partner of the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: And now I have a physical therapy doctor in the family.
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Joniak, my youngest, got her degree at the ceremony
Speaker 1: at high Point University of North Carolina, and Tom, I
Speaker 1: know you're a proud uncle as well.
Speaker 4: So proud of her because just a commitment to becoming educated.
Speaker 4: And I think that's, you know, a great accomplishment by her,
Speaker 4: and I think she's going to have a super bright
Speaker 4: future ahead of her.
Speaker 1: Very excited for her. Indeed, excitement is the word of
Speaker 1: the day. Because looking at those four guys going to
Speaker 1: the podium today, it just feels like the weight is
Speaker 1: lifted off. There's now a plan, there is a vision.
Speaker 1: It's set fellas. We're going to roll up our sleeves
Speaker 1: and get to work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to win, and we're going to win now.
Speaker 4: And it's going to be super challenging for some of you.
Speaker 4: And you know what, to me, I like this now
Speaker 4: that we know about Kayla Williams, because you know, when
Speaker 4: we listen to Caleb go to do his pressers in
Speaker 4: the preseason last year, we didn't know if he was
Speaker 4: going to be the same guy during the season, and
Speaker 4: he was consistent all year.
Speaker 3: And here's a guy that's talking about.
Speaker 4: The dudes and the don'ts of Ben's first speech with
Speaker 4: the whole team. And I think Caleb has a chance
Speaker 4: to be a leader unlike any other season that he's
Speaker 4: ever played. And now if he can have some consistency
Speaker 4: with the coaches around him for a period of time,
Speaker 4: his upside is unlimited. But each and every one of
Speaker 4: these guys have a chance to flourish with the new
Speaker 4: message that's being set forth in Hallas Hall.
Speaker 1: All Right, one look at the broader scope of the league.
Speaker 1: Real quick found this interesting time. As we wrap things up,
Speaker 1: Matt Vertram Matt Verdram from Sports Illustrated did the exercise
Speaker 1: of the number one guaranteed full guaranteed money by position
Speaker 1: players in the NFL.
Speaker 5: So we'll go down the list.
Speaker 1: None of it's surprising, I would think, but I'll just
Speaker 1: run it by you to make sure. Josh Allen at
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million is at quarterback. You're running back,
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley at thirty six, Jamar Chase at one twelve
Speaker 1: at receiver, Trey McBride of the Cardinals forty three million
Speaker 1: at tight end.
Speaker 5: Any thoughts quick, Nope, all right?
Speaker 4: Offensive discrepancy between quarterback and running back though.
Speaker 3: And everybody else?
Speaker 1: Yeah, offensive tackle Tristan Wurfs eighty eight to two, and
Speaker 1: Darren Tampa Robert Hunts in Carolina sixty three million at guard,
Speaker 1: Creed Humphrey fifty million at center in KC. And now
Speaker 1: to the defense, Miles Garrett won twenty three to five
Speaker 1: the number one paid defensive player in terms of full
Speaker 1: guaranteed money. As you might expect, the quarterback position and
Speaker 1: those affecting the quarterback position are key, which leads us
Speaker 1: to Chris Jones at defensive tackle at ninety five, mil
Speaker 1: roqwant Smith inside linebackers sixty mili, josh heinz Allen at
Speaker 1: Jacksonville outside linebacker at eighty eight, Derek Stingley Junior at
Speaker 1: corner at eighty nine million over there in Houston, and
Speaker 1: Twine Winfield junior, my guy at safety in Tampa at
Speaker 1: forty five.
Speaker 3: Thoughts, No, it doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 4: And listen to you know, these guys have earned the
Speaker 4: opportunity to go out there and negotiate with the collective
Speaker 4: barneying agreement and how competitive it is becoming the NFL.
Speaker 4: And we're not talking about any guy out there that
Speaker 4: hasn't earned the opportunity. And but you know, it's you know,
Speaker 4: what are you going to do going forward? What is
Speaker 4: the next guy on the rung of that ladder shooting
Speaker 4: for in terms of what he wants to earn? And congratulations,
Speaker 4: I hold no jealousy, no envy at all for these
Speaker 4: guys that are.
Speaker 3: Are making this type of money.
Speaker 1: Harrison Butker, the kicker from Kansas City seventeen to seven,
Speaker 1: the punter Michael Dixon Seattle seven and a half million
Speaker 1: in Tom the long snapper Joe Cardona of New England
Speaker 1: at two point six Mili, Well, yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you here.
Speaker 4: You Well, the thing about it is every single snap,
Speaker 4: no matter what the conditions are, they have to be perfect.
Speaker 4: And you said he's from Seattle.
Speaker 5: I know, Joe Cardona, New England.
Speaker 4: Well on New England, Okay, you know it's an outdoor stadium.
Speaker 4: The conditions aren't guaranteed to be perfect, and no matter
Speaker 4: what the conditions are, you have to be perfect. That's
Speaker 4: why you're getting paid that type of money. Congratulations, good
Speaker 4: luck to them. But I'm a Bears.
Speaker 1: Fan and so I'm pulling for my guys right And
Speaker 1: partly the reason I brought this up is just to
Speaker 1: see what's out there for guys on this team to
Speaker 1: develop into these guys one day in the near future.
