WEBVTT - Nagy, Tabor on Week 13 loss | Coaches Show 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.920 Welcome in everybody to another edition of the Bears Coaching Show. 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:04.800 Good to be with you tonight with Bears head coach 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.440 Matt Nagge Jeff Jonahac with you until eight o'clock tonight. 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.840 We're brought to you by Whippley CPA's and Consultants, and 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.960 just after seven thirty joined by Special teams coordinator Chris 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.320 Tabor to join the program. A very very tough loss 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.440 yesterday to the Detroit Lions. You look at it, Matt, 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.520 the fourth largest comeback in team history week one and 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:28.560 then a rough ten point fourth quarter loss in week thirteen. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.600 It's the story of the National Football League. Just underscores 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:33.720 just how hard it is to win every single week. Yeah, 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.519 it's not it's not easy. And you go to see yesterday, 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:37.919 you know how that goes, and you have a ten 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.040 point lead with four minutes to go, and you know, 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.000 that's that's what we talk about finishing. So it's every 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.400 game is going to be a little bit different. And 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.120 we've had our challenges this year with that and trying 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:49.919 to figure out ways to either come back and win 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.559 or now keep a lead and win. And so we 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.120 didn't do that, and we got to pick up the 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.800 pieces and keep getting after it as losses go. Where 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.080 does this one stick with you in your history? Yeah, 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.680 this one, This was one that you always remember for 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.040 so many different reasons. I you know, it's it's um. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.520 It's kind of like in the middle of the season 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:09.360 when we had a couple of those games where the 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.120 offense was really struggling and the defense was playing really 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.240 really well and we weren't. We just weren't working hand 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.679 in hand. And this was one yesterday where I was 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.280 just so darn proud of the offense and the challenge 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.199 that was presented to them all week long about coming 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.080 out from the very first play and creating a tempo, 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.440 and all game long we had tempo. We were in 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.400 control of that whole game offensively. So as much as 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.640 it stinks to lose the game and it hurts, and 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.280 this is one you always remember, Uh, that is the 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.640 one positive that we can take out of this thing 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.360 and that we need to use here and the rest 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.480 of the season. Even the best of us in a 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.320 situation like this could speak it and say it and 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.960 walk around with it the positivity. But are you challenged 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.320 right now, even you as a man right now about 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.640 this because it's it's one of those deep dark holes. Absolutely, 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.560 and if you if you can't admit that, then you're 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.680 probably you know, not telling the truth. So I think 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.960 that's real and that's where that's where in these times 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.080 right now, And what I think is really important is 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.640 a lot of people, and I'm talking about on the field, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.280 off the field, everybody. In these moments, people show their 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.839 true colors. And that's what I'm looking at right now. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.760 Whether it's players, whether it's coaches, whether it's friends, whether 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.280 it's family. You can see how people are and so 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.079 I think this is an experience for me that you 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.160 use it the right way. And the ones that understand 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.880 how to fix things, the ones that have been callous 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.000 three times like this, they're the ones that support you 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.600 as you go through, and they're the ones you lean 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.040 on in these times. And I'm not just talking about 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.799 family and friends. I'm talking about the players and the 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.240 coaches and experiences you go through. And yeah, you're right, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.760 it is. It feels like a pretty deep dark hole 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.119 right now. But eventually somewhere there's gonna be some sunshine. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.960 And I don't know where that is or when it is, 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:55.880 but that's just how I live my life, man, and 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.679 I'm going to continue to stay positive. You know, if 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.040 you see any of it, you see the negativity, and 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.880 maybe you have over the course of your career. How 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.400 do you approach players that do show that. I'm not 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.320 suggesting that's happening, but if it does start, what do 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.079 you do? Oh, you give them advice, You tell them 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.120 what's in front of us, you know. And then unless 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.240 you want to continue to keep having it be a 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.160 dark hole and keep digging a hole, then you can 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.000 keep being negative. And that's but then the people that 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.480 want to be a part of it, the people that 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.400 want to stay positive, that have good energy, have good juice, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.560 you know, that's they're they're the ones that you rely 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.600 on to get this thing fixed. And so is it 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.119 natural for twenty four hours for you to be emotional 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.400 and then to feel hurt. Yeah, I mean you want 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.360 that too, But you got to be able to get 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.040 out of it. And there's great leaders in this world, 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.760 in the sports world that have been through these times, 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.800 and it's it's a matter of you know, having a 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.640 great supporting cast and just listening right now in times 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.840 like this and not panicking. But that's what we have 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.120 to do and the ones that want to be a 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.680 part of that. That's the exciting part for us as coaches. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.160 You know, in your position, you have to answer to 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.440 every player. They have to answer to you, You have 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.880 to answer to management, you have to answer to the 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.040 building in many senses, So are these hard days, even 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.400 though the communication is something that I know is great 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.680 with all of you guys. And you mentioned it this 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.400 morning in the news conference with George and Ted. When 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.120 they ask questions, you have to answer some hard questions. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.000 Is that one of your bigger challenges? Well? Yeah, And 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.919 but for me, Um, one of the things that that 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.360 I like to do is I'm always just in conversations. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.599 I'm always very honest and sometimes it might not be 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.520 the right answer when I'm talking to a player, when 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.720 I'm talking to a coach, Uh, you know, no matter 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.480 who I'm talking to, They're always going to get my 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.800 my open, honest opinion and evaluation of whatever the topic is. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.080 And so um, you know, then then you go from 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.160 there and you figure out the whys and you figure out, Okay, 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.320 how how do we get better and how do we 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.479 work together? And what are the and then if there's 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.160 no answers, then you got to go to something else. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.520 But um, that's why sometimes tough discussions for some people 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.600 are tough, but a lot of times for myself, just 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.360 because I believe in that and I live by that, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.000 it's not quite as tough as sometimes it may feel. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.240 Is it help you coach knowing that you have the 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.680 ability to have outstanding communication because if you didn't have 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.680 that and you were shut out, it would be pretty challenging. Yeah, 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.359 it would be hard. And you have to have that 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.160 you And now the part of the communication as a 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.680 as a head coach, um is more ears, you know, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.559 is more listening and understanding and being able to paint 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.280 that picture and figure out the whys and and then 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.640 also start with myself, you know, and what is it 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.240 and and understand Okay, here, here's how we get this fixed. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.240 Here's how we get that fixed. I might be the 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.000 conduit of communication between a player and a coach because 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.880 there's there's some stuff going on there and or it 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.640 could be anything, you know, it might be a player 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.600 and a player. But I got to be able to 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.160 help that out. That's my job. And so um, there's 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.920 there's different ways to do it. And I think let's 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.000 sting is a big part. All right, let's dip in 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.440 a little bit here before we hit a commercial break 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.599 on the offense, there was efficiency and was couraging day. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.440 What did you think overall of all the different parts 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.000 being used in it, including the young guys at Darnel, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.120 Money and Cole commit. Yeah, no, it was everybody. I mean, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.839 it was pretty cool to see our tight ends blocking 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.240 in the run game, our running backs running hard, protecting 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.000 in the pass game, running backs making plays in the past, 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.080 game wide receivers making big catches over the middle, run 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.760 after the catch. When when when you're in a game 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.360 offensively and you're on the offensive side of the ball 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.479 and there's not a lot of third downs because the 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.359 first and seconds are really good. That's what yesterday was 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.240 for us, especially obviously in the first half. That first half, 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:48.760 those first five possessions, that felt good. And it wasn't 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.000 just okay, well we were throwing at every play or 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.160 we were running at every play. We were trying to 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.400 keep them off balanced with play actions, with the movements 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.000 and the nakeds our run game. Early on, man, it 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.640 just established really well. The line was getting after him, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.400 we were creating running lanes, and we were scoring touchdowns. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.320 We weren't coming out of it with three. We were 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.240 scoring touchdowns, and to have three touchdowns there in the 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.840 first half, that's what you want. That's what we've been 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.720 wanting all year long. So now we tried to mix 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.360 it up a little bit in the third and have 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.520 some no huddle and again I don't know what's going on, 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.200 but it didn't work. And so now you know we 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.080 didn't We didn't get anything going in the third and 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.760 then the fourth there we had a we had a 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.320 crucial penalty and in a couple of sacks and again 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.640 finishing your BIS, you gotta roll over the air side. 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:36.560 He's got come out, turned his shoulders. Ten fun tens, touchdown, touchdown, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:41.320 Bears trip bisky eleven yards for the touchdown. Welcome back 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.160 to the Bears Coaches Show. Cole come out with a 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.760 big touchdown catching a run. The Chicago Bears and Improven 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.720 It are supporting Chicago small businesses. Just Sandwiches is this 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.720 week's small Business All Pro. Visit Chicago Bears dot com 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.360 slash Small Business All Pros to learn more here with 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.640 head coach Matt Naggie, let's talk about that play we 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.760 broke it down on our TV show on Bears Game 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.560 Night Live on Fox last night. Just the simplicity of 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.360 the boot, which is an outstanding effective play, and just 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.920 seeing that big guy running with a football on several 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.640 occasions yesterday but into the ends on an end of 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.680 the tunnel had to be a joy for you as well. Yeah, 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.840 that was awesome. You know, we got to keep him 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.360 going and he gets across there real nice on the 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.600 naked and Mitch got it to him and nice and 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.600 quick head, pinpoint accuracy what to throw and then Cole, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.480 you know, big body with some speed. It's going to 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.680 be tough to tackle him there going in and he 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.480 was able to get in for a touchdown. Let's go 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.199 back to what you said about the no huddle to 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.160 start the third quarter and you kind of chuckled about, Hey, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.600 it didn't work for whatever reason because of the ineffectiveness 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.040 in terms of scoring in that quarter. Is it starting 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.920 to create ghosts in everybody's head about it too much pressing? 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.320 I mean, what could be the issue? Yeah, No, I don't, 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.320 I don't know. You know, I think that we said 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.760 at the beginning of the week, we're regardless of the score. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.160 We don't care at the score is we're going no 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.240 huddle to start the third, and so we had to 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.840 stick to that, and you know, we were running the 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.640 ball well against him, and you know, you can say, well, shoot, 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.079 we should have just came out and tried to run 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.160 the ball. Well, you know, we've been doing that this 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.520 year and then for different reasons it hasn't been working. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.600 So we stuck to it. We weren't going to live 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.080 in it, but we were going to try to get 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.120 a couple first downs and then back out of it. 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.280 And then we had a penalty that kind of dug 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:15.839 us back a little bit, and before you know it, 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.440 we had to punt, and now they also got the 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.040 ball to start the third, so they had one more 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.520 possession in us in that third, so we really had 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.640 that possession, I think one other short one and then 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.760 it was before you know it, it's the fourth. So yeah, no, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.839 you mean it's it's It's definitely crazy how this is 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.600 going on right now. I've never been a part of it. 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.320 In terms of Matthew Stafford, I mean, he's done this 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.240 to a lot of teams. That doesn't make it feel 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.200 any better, obviously, but now he's got the most fourth 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.040 quarter comebacks in NFL since he came in the league, 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.640 and he's tied for seventh all time in NFL history. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.960 Knowing that, knowing he's going to have opportunities like that, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.760 he's never gonna back down from it. It's still a 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.199 little bit of a disbelieving moment, isn't it When you 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.600 got by ten with four thirty to go? How are 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.760 you processing that now with coaches? Yeah, now it is 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.400 because you know, we feel like that's our strength is 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.679 being able to close him out on defense and then 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.120 or get to offense where we can just go ahead 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.679 and get that first down in four minutes and so, 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.559 but you're going against, like you said, a really good 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.920 quarterback that if you give him time, he'll dice you 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.480 with his arm. I mean, he's he's he's so deadly accurate. 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.280 And you know that's that's something that I know we 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.000 talked about this morning as a coaching staff, is being 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.920 able to limit those big plays and close the games out. Yeah. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.080 I think there were eighteen plays off ten yards or 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.160 more and nine of twenty yards or more with with 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.280 the Detroit Lions yesterday. He did get out of the 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.439 pocket a little bit when the rush was coming. It 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.840 was more of an interior rush, it seemed was that 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.960 a critical component to the win for the Lions yesterday 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.720 and no success place. It definitely helped him getting outside 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.400 to be able to see those intermediate throws. And so 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.040 you know, if you lose any contained or if you 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.120 have a t game or a stunt or a defensive 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.000 en goes inside and you got to have your detail 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.960 going outside and have that keep that guy contained. And 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.400 you'll see some teams that force the quarterback a certain way, well, 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.280 you know, depending on which way they'd like to roll 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.920 out of the pocket. But I just felt like yesterday 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.120 there was a few times where that happened where it 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.200 just made it a nice clean pocket for him to 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.080 be able to see his guys and then he's gonna 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.240 he's always gonna beat you with his arm. Despite giving 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.839 up all that yardage and the five touchdowns, there were 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.640 some some interesting things that did happen defense, And let's 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.959 talk about blow Nichols. I think it was an all 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.920 state tight end and growing up in high school in Delaware, 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.240 there had the interception that's not an easy catch, I'm certain, 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.640 and then a sack. Is his play continuing to develop 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.680 over the course of the year to your satisfaction. Yeah, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.920 he's growing, he's getting better, and that's what we need 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.600 right now, you know, I think that being able to 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.960 develop these guys that you draft, and that was definitely 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.000 a huge point in the game where we would have 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.520 loved to get points off of that. But it was 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.679 a big play and it was pretty pretty athletic play 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.559 all things considered. And then Buster screen in the open 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.679 field double legg takedown basically for the former All Street 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.760 wrestler there Worth down on one and dhc limiting a 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.599 catch to the tight end Hockinson to make it a 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.520 fourth and one. Those were early in the game, but 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.160 those are the type of plays that I felt were 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.240 very impactful. What do you think, Yeah, for sure, And 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.400 especially with Buster on that fourth and one, coming the 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.199 whole way across the field on the Jets week, that's 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.200 not easy because you don't have a great angle to 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.120 make that play, but he went in there, and like 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.520 you said, him having that wrestling background, he's always been 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.200 a physical player. Now for his size, he might be 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.160 pound for pound for pound, one of the toughest on 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.200 the team, and so I appreciate that about him, and 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.880 certainly in big play a couple of snaps in there 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.040 for Trevis Gipson getting his feet we would you see, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.760 I liked what he Travis has done a great job 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.040 all year long and just staying the course, waiting for 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.120 his time to come, and yesterday that was it. So 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:43.760 I think he was in around ten or eleven plays 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.400 in the game. Every one of those plays he was, 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:48.680 you know, whether it was some type of rush move 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.080 or trying to you know, affect a quarterback. He did 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.120 it one hundred miles an hour and he's only going 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.920 to continue to get better. Nap Drabisky stretches the hand off. 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.920 Here's David Montgom. We're at the ten, bouncing outside to 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:03.120 the five, stiff farm into the end zone. Touchdown left 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:07.280 pilot David Montgomery will not be denied. How the Bears 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.360 lead at nine Nothing Here with the first quarter at 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.000 Soldier Field. This segment of the Bears Coaches Show brought 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.720 to you by Athletical Physical Therapy. Visit Athletical dot com 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.040 to request an appointment in clinic or virtually and start 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.760 feeling better tomorrow with Bears head coach Matt nag You 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.959 just heard the first touchdown run by David Montgomery that 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.559 may have been my favorite David Montgomery touchdown run of 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.240 the year, and that that was just sheer desire to 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.120 get in there break that one down for us. Yeah, no, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.960 I mean it just the effort of David. I mean, 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.120 this kid's been doing this since he's been here. I'm 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.400 just so proud of the way he runs. He runs 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.280 so hard, he makes so many people miss his effort. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.600 His determination to score is second to none, and so 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.280 you know, obviously a lot of the guys on that 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.040 play did their job in blocking in but when that 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.080 football's in his hands, it's going to take more than 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:53.640 one guy to get them down. I think he showed 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.640 it there. And let's talk about Darnel money because you know, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.520 you quick, you you wake up this morning, you start 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.480 looking at some of the team stats getting ready for 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.200 the next game. You see Darnell Mooney's got seventy one targets, 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.280 forty catches for one or twenty eight yards, second most 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.960 yards after the catch in the receiver room. This is 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.120 maybe a not so quietly emerging season for a fifth 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.440 round draft pick. Yeah, we're very fortunate to have Darnell. 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.240 I mean, he's come in here and done a lot 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.960 of great things. And to tell you the truth, you know, 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.040 we want to be able to, you know, look for 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.680 him even more because he's such a playmaker. You see 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.320 yesterday and that third down they played a little zone. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.080 They had a guy waiting there for him in the flat, 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.680 and Mitch just made a great, great throw underneath, and 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.920 then Darnell just turned on the Jets and out ran 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.240 them down the sideline and instead of going out of bounds, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.760 stuck his head in and got another four or five yards. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.200 So I just we've been very impressed from him from 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.440 day one. He's a great kid. Matt, is it too 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.840 easy to be critical of a rob on that catch 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.800 that could have been a first down defender fell down? 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.640 I know that was my immediate reaction. Now you gotta 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.920 get that no matter what, because you get shots at 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.520 the end zone. Then given the time, I know there's 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.520 a balance Beteen getting out of bounds and whatnot. But 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.160 how do you frame that? Yeah, I would say it's 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.160 it is hard because again for me just knowing who 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.400 Arab is as the type of person and he is, 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.400 and how how his football IQ is is so high, 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.040 and sometimes in those situations when you turn around, they 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.960 catch the ball and you catch it and you turn around. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.600 To all of us that are watching it on TV, 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.440 we know where that yellow lines at, we know where 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.440 that first down markers at. But when you go to 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.680 turn around, sometimes you just you lose your awareness a 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.840 little bit of where you're at. And then, oh, by 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.360 the way, you know, you're always taught to get out 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.080 of bounce. So he was kind of caught in between 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.720 the two. And we have we have the ability there 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.480 to get a first down, we call timeout or if 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:40.760 we don't, we got to go for it. And that's 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.240 what happened. So I know Arabs is probably kicking himself 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.320 more than most people. But that's definitely a tough one. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.960 One thing about fans and football, it is an emotional reaction, 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.880 good and bad. And in the world of fans and 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.520 media for that matter, I assume there's black and white 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.440 decision making and that's certainly not the case. And as 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.080 you stand for your team, what is the most difficult 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.560 thing right now? By standing before your team, well, just 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.960 letting them know you know they're What's the part to 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.280 the players that you keep hearing and from the coaching 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.560 staff is, you know, is everyone wants this so bad 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.640 and there's really when it comes down to it, we 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.000 have Sundays to get this done. And Monday, Monday through 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.960 Saturday is important to get your practice reps. It's important 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.480 to do your meetings and all that stuff. But when 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.960 it comes down to it on Sunday for those sixty minutes, 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.200 are we doing enough to win the game? And so 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.400 the talk goes only for so long and you know 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.960 the messages and at some point in time that as 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.440 as players and as coaches, you just got to find 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:42.600 a way to get it done. And that's kind of 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.160 where we're at right now. All right, let's look at 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.600 the Houston Texans a record that is four and eight, 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.800 but they have had very strong games against a lot 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.440 of first place teams. What's your early looking, Yeah, well, 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.440 they're They've always been a good football team. They're a 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.760 team that's in the playoffs all the time. And I 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.360 know they've gone through some stuff this year, but you know, 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.640 Deshaun Boston is a quarterback that can not only beat 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.560 you with his arm, but can can get outside of 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.760 the pocket, extend plays and beat you with his legs. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:11.320 And then the weapons that have their own offense as well. Defensively, 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.800 JJ Watt is where it starts for them and he's 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.480 their leader, and I just think that for us, we 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.359 got to make sure, I think we keep continuing to 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.119 worry about us and what we do, but also understand 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.080 where they're at. So you got two teams right now 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.240 that you know they had a tough loss. The way 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:26.800 that they lost too was tough. So you got two 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.680 teams that lost in two different tough, you know, difficult fashions, 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.119 and are going to continue to go fight against one 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.440 another until somebody gets a win. You know, somebody asked 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.360 me about this other day, just a friend of mine, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.240 a fan. He goes, you know, why do coaches always say, 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.600 you know, when you're ask them questions about other teams, Hey, 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.119 we do got to worry about us, because that is 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.280 the truth though, and explain a coach is thinking about that. Yeah, well, 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.359 there's you have to be aware of your opponent and 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.880
