WEBVTT - Nagy, Tabor preparing for Packers | Coaches Show 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.920 Special Good evening, everybody, and welcome into the Bears Coaches 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.360 Show with Bears head coach Mattneggie, Jeff Joniac with you 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.160 until eight o'clock tonight. Coming up at the bottom of 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.120 the hour, Special teams coordinator Chris Taber joins the program. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:14.240 We've arrived at the doorstep of week seventeen. Congratulations on 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.599 the winning Jacksonville. Three straight at any point is significant 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:19.360 in the season. You've done it now seven times in 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.200 your three years as head coach. What was the aftermath like, 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.560 give us a little glimpse. No, it was good, you 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.040 know what, Jeff. It's for these guys to be able 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.080 to enjoy it, and it worked hard to get to this, 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.440 through that stretch that we had that wasn't so good, 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.960 and but here we are. You know, now we have 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.560 a huge week of prep for us to get ready 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.080 for a big time game. But they enjoyed it last night. 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.360 It was good that the conversations on the airplane when 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.839 we fly back, just talking through guys, watching video and 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.280 just understanding where they put us right now. You still 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.080 walk in the plane. Yeah, absolutely, That's what I said. 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:52.640 I was going to do that all year long, and 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.160 I've been able to do that, and they're a lot 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.080 better when you're winning. So the fans turned out, I know, 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.560 we had it on the broadcast and we kept turning 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.080 up the sound and it was the first time all 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.920 year that it was genuine fan noise from seventeen thousand 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.080 plus many many Bears fans. Did it make a difference 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.440 at some level? Yesterday? Yeah it did? And you know 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.040 you can feel it even running out onto the field. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:16.840 When the players are running out onto the field, you 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.120 could feel the crowd just cheering them on. And they 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.959 haven't had that, Jeff, all year long, you know, and 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.960 that's a that's a raw emotion to get to get 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.720 going with the start of a game that that just 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.120 has hasn't happened most of the season. And now to 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.440 have that and all those fans down there, they they 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.160 juiced it up and got it going in at the 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.959 end of the game when we were up pretty big, 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.120 they were all just chanting and cheering and you could 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.920 just see the players getting into it. It was it 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.560 was really neat. Heck, the Jaguar fans were rooting for 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.760 you too, you know, they really they secured the number 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.320 one pick. Hey, in all seriousness, how do you put 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.200 this in perspective how far this team has come in 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.600 terms of staying engaged, staying focused, staying hungry, because it 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.800 very easily met you know it, it could have gone 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.760 the other way. It very easily could have. Yeah, it 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.240 could have and and I probably it's hard for me 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.800 right now at this moment to answer that exact question. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.000 I'll be able to do that at the end of 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.400 the year when you really look back and you go 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.640 back to certain games throughout the season where um, you 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.280 felt either really good or you didn't feel really good. 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.120 And so right now, we're just in the moment, and 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.200 the moment for us is a good place right now. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.680 So we're trying to keep that thing going. You're you're 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.480 every week they're going to give you a new team 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.240 to play, and we've created this situation right now that 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.160 we currently sit in where you win and you're in 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.320 and um, you know, we weren't sure if that was 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.600 going to be the case three to four weeks ago. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.880 But the messaging that we've had, the players buying into it, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.600 the players doing it and executing it not just on 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.120 game day on the weekends, but throughout the weeks with 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.799 meetings or practices and their their participation and willingness to 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:58.560 believe and trust in the process is huge. And now 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.080 they're they're they're they're reaping the benefits of that, and 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.880 they see what can happen, and so different parts of 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.160 the ball you see, and we offensively, we've finally got 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.960 things go on special teams as rolling defense is getting 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.200 big time plays at big time situations in the game. 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.360 And now here we are but one week to go, 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.000 you know, so it's been the credit to them. You're 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.240 a message guy, but was there a creative process to 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.880 your messaging this time? Given the situation of a six 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.120 game skid and a quarter a season to go, did 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.960 you have to find a different way to reach them. Well, 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.880 we did, and one of the ways we did that 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.560 was with four games to go in the season, we said, 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.200 you know, there's four quarters in a season, and at 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.320 the start of the fourth quarter of the season, with 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.960 four games left, we said, let's let's let's go four 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.960 and OL. And if we go four and OL, we 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.400 will we will have a great opportunity to at least 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.720 be in the mix somewhere to get to the playoffs. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.440 And as I've mentioned before, every year is different. As 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.280 a head coach. Every every team is different with your messaging. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.400 That for us, that was a that was a big 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.880 time motivating factor. Just knowing that and understanding and educating 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.520 him as to where things are with with other teams 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.560 and what's real and what's what's not real and h 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.960 then you take that and then you got to do it. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.200 And where it gets tough is when you don't do 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.599 it and you got to create another message. But they've 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.880 done it for three weeks now, and so now here 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.400 we are, you know, we're we're we're here. Now we're 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.360 we're three and oh the last three games and now 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.039 we're gonna we gotta do everything we can to go 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.760 four and now and then see what now we go 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.960 four and no because of going three and O, we're in. 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.000 So that that's awesome, all right. I look at three 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.680 key plays yesterday and you tell me if you agree 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.320 the fourth and five conversion to a rob You got 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.920 Mitch throwing the pick, but he came back strong, very 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.760 strong after that. It didn't eat him up. And that's 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.880 significant for many different reasons that you can amplify on. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.599 And of course the Roquan takeaway, the defense picking you 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.720 up and you guys never look back any others or 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.919 you know those three pillars of the game. Yeah, no, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.640 I I agree with that. The one, the one that's 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.719 in there that's sneaky in my opinion, that that was 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.599 early on too, was when they tried to do the 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.560 fake punt and they had to hold on Dhcum. To me, 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.440 that's a that's a sneaky play in that game that 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.320 with DHC playing so well and them having to have 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.279 to hold him to convert it. Um, that was a 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.400 big time play because you know, the kid got the 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.320 first down, but they got it because of holding, so 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.000 they had to end up plunting the ball. But I 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.000 think that, but the other ones you mentioned are all 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:38.120 certainly big time players. Also. Blitz pick up and recognition 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.919 by Mitch yesterday was very good. According to Tom, he 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.800 was seven for seven on blitzes against extra pressure. Is 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.680 that a major significant improvement here heading into this week 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.240 seventeen matchup NBN. Yeah. You know, teams are gonna try 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.800 to create some pressure up front and blitz you and 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.400 make you make quick decisions, and then the wide receivers 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.520 when that's the case, they got to win. And yesterday 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.400 A robbed that and then you got to get the 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.799 ball out and be accurate. The lines got to squeeze 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.719 the right way and try to protect inside out. They 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.800 did it. And again, like Mitch is gonna get always 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.000 be critiqued on what happens on third down and what 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.320 happens in the red zone. And yesterday, other than that 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.000 pick in the red zone, he did a good job situational. Actually, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.560 you know he talked about John d Philippa on the sidelines. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.560 You have to turn him in the right direction right there, 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.280 because it's Jacksonville. They got some juice going on. This 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.240 is an oh moment. What's the key? There's what's the 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.920 key to make sure that doesn't snowball. That's when you 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.200 rely on your coaches, like he said, with coach Flip, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.600 I think coach Flipp has done an amazing job all 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.120 year along with these quarterbacks. And you know, with the 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.800 history of who where he's been and what he's done 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.760 at that position. He's also played it in college and 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.080 he gets it, and so learning who Mitch is as 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.720 a person in those moments helping him out, and he 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.600 did that yesterday. And so now all of us collectively, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.200 right between Bill and Rags and everybody else, we get 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.280 into a locker room, a halftime is here we go. 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.839 We got two more quarters ago, next play mentality Now 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.080 Mitch has got to do it and then he needs 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.240 his teammates to help. And that that's kind of what happened. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.640 Snap Trubisky looking standing in the pocket, drills the middle 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:18.360 of the end zone touchdown, Jimmy Graham touchdown. Bears had 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.160 a six three league at Jimmy Graham touchdown catch a 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.080 beauty two on the day. Now over eighty red zone 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.640 touchdowns in his career. Welcome back to the Bears Coaches Show, 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.960 brought to you by Whippley, CPA's end Consultants, a proud 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.320 partner of the Chicago Bears. Learn more at Whippley dot com. 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.920 We got to talk to Jimmy Graham. Just a tremendous season. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.320 Eight touchdowns, couple four cole Comet as well. You got 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.360 great production of sixty nine catches and ten touchdowns out 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.480 of those two guys. He's just got a little juice 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.560 to him. He does. And you know what, when you're 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.480 in this league as long as he has been, and 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.600 you realize what's sitting in front of end just the 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.440 way things have been from day one, that Jimmy Graham 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.840 was here as a bear. He's been all in the 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.960 only thing he wants to do is win a championship. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:01.360 And what he's taught Cole in this process and the 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.600 way that he's been a mentor to Cole Comet, no 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.360 one will ever see or know until it's ten years 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.040 down the road, and cold Comet would be the one 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.360 that says it. But there's times in practice where something 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.040 may happen and no one sees this, but but Jimmy 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.760 will be the one that goes over and tries that 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.000 tries to help him from a player point of view, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.600 where something happens in the game, Jimmy'll be there to help. 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.720 So all that other stuff that happens on the field 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.480 with Jimmy as a player, what he's doing right now 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.360 to help build our future with Cole Comet, you just 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.960 people don't understand. And so that's just something else that 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.840 I think needs to get recognized. Because whatever he's doing 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.800 on the field is awesome and we knew he could 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.800 do this, But what he's doing off the field and 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.080 helping in practice and in meetings and all that stuff, man, 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.200 is that pretty awesome for col Comet Now he's one 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.160 touchdown away from matching Mike did his single season record 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.920 for touchdowns by a tight end back to nineteen sixty one. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.640 So pretty good company. All right, Tuttyville. I've been asked 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.400 a lot about Tuttyville. They think I came up with 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.679 I got no, no, no no, this is all Matt Naggie 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.440 has got to sign up in his office. Will you 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.560 explain again? I think you've done it on this show. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.960 But for those who have been texting me and emailing 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.959 me and asking me questions on social media about Tuttyville, 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.480 where did it originate? Well, you know, so on a 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.920 team that I coached with, we all we all kind 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.880 of talked about let's let's have a bunch of touchdowns. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.480 It's about touchdowns on field goals, and and uh, the word, 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.120 the word tutty just started getting thrown around a little bit, 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.559 and so we kind of liked it. We thought it 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.480 made sense, and then before you know it, it just 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.679 became part of our language. And um, you know there 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.839 was Tuttyville kind of started. The vill part was here. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.840 Now the Tuttyville is here. That that's that's here in Chicago. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.240 And so that's what's pretty neat and the guys for 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.120 for us as coach, as we joke about it, and 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.079 there for a while there weren't a lot of there 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.400 weren't There wasn't much tutty goal. But recently it's been 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.320 it's back and uh. For for our players right now 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.120 on offense to be able to be as effective as 0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:00.880 we've been um regardless of who we're playing and and everything, 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.280 they are playing with a lot of confidence. And I 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.800 just think that when you're scoring touchdowns and you're scoring tuddies, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.680 it's infectious and it's contagious. And the belief in one 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.040 another right now between our players and our coaches, and 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.839 our coaches and our players is for this year out 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.520 on all time high. So we're momentum wise, momentum meter wise, 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.240 we're going in the right direction. Nineteen touchdowns the last 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.560 five games, one hundred and sixty three points on your 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.640 last fifty drives. So that's outstanding. All right, Let's talk 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.400 a little bit more about Alan Robinson. Eight of his 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.520 ten catches for first downs. I liked, if you're not 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.320 going to press the really press them tight of the 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.640 line of scrimmage, And I think about Davante Adams perfect example, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.680 they both did it yesterday. Going back and watching the 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.520 Packer game already, you know that that little hesitation move 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.720 at the at the line of scrimmage, the footwork to 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.880 free themselves and create a little distance on those in 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.240 breaking routes or double moves or whatever. I think you 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.000 mentioned it and use the word art. There isn't art 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.920 to making sure everything is precise and what you do 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.600 at all areas of the field, but in particularly getting 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.240 off the line of scrimmage. It's hard to man up 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.160 Dante Adams. He's gonna find a way, especially that quarterback 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.320 is Alan Robinson also difficult. Now it's a line of 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.200 scrimmage for teams to deal with. Yeah, and he's always 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.200 been that way. There's there's a handful of guys in 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.679 this league, Jeff, that that you look at and you say, 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.960 you know what, when you press them, good luck. And 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.160 it's just that that art part is that's not something 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.960 that just happens overnight. That's that's something that takes time. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.040 They these wide receivers, these great rob receivers, they study 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.160 other great wide receivers guys that have been really good 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.320 at being able to do that, and then they use 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.400 it into with their game and so um, that's just 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.839 a part of that's a that's a weapon that they 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.599 have in their arsenal, and a rob is one of 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.320 those guys. And so if you're gonna come up and 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.040 press them, you better have a plan. If you're gonna 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.319 play off, you better have a plan. And that's advantage Bearers. 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.960 Nice burst buyer Tavis Pierce on that wildcat, nice call. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.400 They're unsuspecting to do a double take. But boy, he's 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.079 got some juice. He does, he really does, and I was, 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.600 I was really happy for him. David did a good 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.560 job playing quarterback and so that was a good day. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.280 And then for four, you know, those guys created a 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.800 nice lane up front. Two. You know, they had good 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.200 leverage with those lanes. And then Artavius hit it man, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.640 he hit it fast, and then he was rewarded with 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.880 a touchdown. The next play, snap Jimmisky takes turns given 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:32.199 a Montgomery stutters five four three two one hands out, touchdown, touchdown. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.880 Bears The Chicago Bears improve an it tre supporting Chicago 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.400 small businesses. Boco Services Inc. Is this week's small Business 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.200 All pro Visit Chicago Bears dot Com slash Small Business 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.400 all pros to learn more. One more segment to go 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.840 with Bears head coach Matt Neeggie. Let's touch on David 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.880 Montgomery a touchdown now in five straight games, seven since 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.440 the bye week, longestreaked by a Bears back since Neil 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.080 Anderson back in nineteen ninety one. Where is he at 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.480 right now in terms of his growth and progress as 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.840 a twenty three year old player. He's had a bright future. Yeah, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.040 I mean his confidence is at an all time high, 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.560 and that's kind of where where the offense is. But 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.319 it's in unison with that offensive line, and so when 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.080 those guys are rolling, they're communicating, they're creating lanes, and 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.360 then there's gonna be some times yesterday where you saw 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.880 he just does his little straight arm or stiff arm 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.520 to a dB or safety and you're gonna have trouble 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:24.079 with that. His contact balance in between the tackles, his vision, 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.880 his anticipation, his awareness of down and distance is really 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.440 really good. And so you combine that with who he 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.679 is as a person and his drive and motivation to 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.000 be great, and he's leading our offense right now. Is 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:40.120 there another gear left in this offense or this team 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.000 in general for Sunday. Yeah, yeah, I believe there is, 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.320 and I think that we're we're in. We're currently sitting 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.360 in the playoffs right now. When you look at I mean, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.439 you have to win and so, uh, you know, we 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.520 understand that. The confidence of where we're at as a 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.360 team of fighting together through all the adversity we went through, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.720 that's that's pretty strong. It's pretty powerful, and it's moving. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.320 You know, you get through that, you're not sure where 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.840 it's going to go. But then when you do it, 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.640 all of a sudden, you strung three in a row. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.640 And that's all you can ask for heading into this 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.199 last game of the season after where we've been. So 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.920 now now you gotta find that gear. You gotta dig 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.360 down a little bit deeper, coaches and players included, and 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.840 bring it on Sunday. At the same time, you recognize 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.760 this morning that you can't make it too hyped. It's 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.440 going to get hyped, there's no question about it. Plus 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.280 the Bears packers on top of it. How do you 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.880 make it big but don't feel big. A lot of 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.840 that has to be done through the players and their experiences, 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.360 right so what they've been through. We all understand the 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.560 significance of this game, take out the whole, like you 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.440 just said, take out the whole, win and get in 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.240 playoff for twenty twenty. This is the Bears Packers, right. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:53.120 It doesn't get any bigger than that. And so you know, 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:57.160 we understand where we're at. We understand a significance of 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.840 that right there in itself. Whether each team never didn't 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.920 even have a win, it would matter, but it's different. 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.000 You know. This is for the playoffs, for for us 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.040 and for them, for for a number one seed. So 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.080 you wouldn't want it any other way. If you're not 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:15.680 a competitor, um you know, or if you are a competitor, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.760 which we all are, you're ready for it. And now 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.520 it's just a matter of the preparation, the planning, the understanding, 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.880 the togetherness of doing what we've been doing and then 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.000 putting it all together on Sunday and attacking a full 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:33.720 speed ahead. Your expertise is quarterback play, offensive play. In 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.520 your role, can you offer any insight to the Bears 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.400 defense on how to deal in a more impactful way 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:47.080 with Aaron Rodgers? Yeah, I absolutely can. And I'm not 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.640 saying give me the company singer, but I like that 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.680 devilish grin I'm seeing right now. Now for sure I can. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.760 I'll leave it at that fair enough, all right, It 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.600 sounds simple, but it's not. Keep the ball away from 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:04.000 Aaron Rodgers, Okay, try to limit the impact the Davante 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.680 Adams and on the defensive side of the ball. Don't 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.880 get in a hole where you're just at the mercy 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.240 of the Smith brothers and those two dbs jyr Alexander 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.400 and Darnell Savage reaking havoc. I know it's not that simple, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.280 but is that a great place to start. Yeah, I 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.440 mean you have to. And once you understand, like right now, 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.960 what they're doing well is they're playing complimentary football and 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.440 they're they're scoring points. They're really good, and the Packers 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.800 are really good in the red zone. They're really good 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.520 on third down. That's situational football. When you're good there, 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.800 you're going to score points because you're getting first downs 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.320 and you're getting touchdowns. And then on top of that, 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.120 you have a very good defensive coordinator and coach Mike 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.000 Petton that has a bunch of guys on that defense 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.320 that when they get a lead, their strength is being 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.120 able to really shut down the past and pin their 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.200 ears back and get after the quarterback. They're really good 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.560 at that. So what we need to do is make 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.280 sure that we get touchdowns and we're effective on third 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.800 down so that our defense can do the same thing, 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.679 and then it becomes a really good head to head 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.119 match up and made the best team win. Running the 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.360 ball against them has has proved to be if you're successful, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.200 it's put them in some bunds close games and their losses. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.080 And I know they put all the emphasis on stopping 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.960 that a great Derrick Henry last night. Do you suspect 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.200 the same that they'll try at least to take away 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.159 David Montgomery in the run game. Yeah, you would think so. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.119 I mean, they did a good job last night, you know, 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.120 and they got the lead and then Tennessee was able 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.840 to come back and make it a five point game, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.919 and then they came right back and counterpunched them. So again, 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:37.919 I think that they're well coached. I think they have 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.320 good players and but but we also believe I have 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.600 ultimate trust in our players and our coaches, and we 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.639 wouldn't want it any other way. All Right, Matt, good 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.840 Luck should be a lot of fun this week, and 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.280 we'll talk to you after all right, Jeff take care 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.600 of now, a quick snap at a FI punt running right, 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.439 and he's gonna get the first down and a flag 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.919 goal on Jacksonville side of the fence. So they go 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.119 for because they got nothing to lose in a thirteen 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.359 game losing streak. On the snapped Andrew Wingard, it's not 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.040 automens coming back. Welcome back to the Bears Coaches Show, 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.920 brought to you by Whippley CPAs and Consultants, now joined 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.600 by Chris Tabor, the Bears veteran special teams coordinator. Good 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.720 to have you alongside, Chris. How you doing doing well? 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.000 Thank you? All right? Your old pete. Joe D. Camillus 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.679 trying to pull fast one on you guys yesterday on 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.639 the fake punt, DHC draws the flag. How big of 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.359 a play is that? Because I listed three plays I 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.000 thought were turning points in the game, more significant moments 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.000 in the game. I didn't put that in the mix, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.640 but Matt Naggie did he Because that's a sneaky one, right, 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.199 There could have been a different story. No, it was 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.760 because it was we were prepared and I'll say Joe 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.280 D and we were prepared that he was going to 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.240 throw the kitchen sink at us. He did. He gave 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.119 us that that was a new fake, but we felt 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.120 like we were prepared for it. He ran the reverse, 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.399 he put both his slots up on and punt team 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.600 and ran gunner motion. Then in the last play of 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.119 the game, he tripled teams McManus and double teams the 0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.720 other guy. So there was a lot of things that 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.439 he did. I thought our guys handled it well. But 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:06.440 going back to that play, Uh, coach and I actually 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.679 clicked on and we were we said, hey, be alert 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.600 right here, something something fish. Yeah. Well was at fourth 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:14.720 and three, and it was just kind of one of 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.880
