I don't want to answer any 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:17.640 questions like that pressure coming is a big trouble. 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.680 Dotie gos Montes Sweat. 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:25.680 Now. 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.480 Bears et Cetera brought to you by Geico, with the 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.800 voices of the Bears Jeff, Jonyac and Tom Thayer, searching 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.519 for answers on the offense and much more as we 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.360 get you set for Bears Packers in week eleven, Episode 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.880 one ten of the Bears et Cetera podcast with Super 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.400 Bowl winning Bears guard Tom Thayer. I'm Jeff Joniac. We're 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.200 brought to you by Geico. A painful nineteen three loss 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:48.960 to the Patriots sends the Bears to. 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.240 Four and five through nine. 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.440 Eight more to go and the most challenging part of 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.120 the schedule beginning next Sunday at noon against the Green 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:55.760 Bay Packers. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.200 Tom a lot of ty Jess. 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.240 I'll also here on the status at Hollis from Coach 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.640 ebra Fluss and at the podium on Monday, DeAndre Swift 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.960 and TJ. Edwards, two veterans with insights of interest for 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.559 us to break down as well, but most keenly interested 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.880 in what you had to see on tape and specifically 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:20.520 your reaction to my interview with Matt Eberflush and we'll 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.000 get to that in a little while, but just over 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.240 all your reflections on what's going on. 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.160 They have to figure out the big picture of how 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:32.040 to play complimentary football in all three phases, because you 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.080 can go out there and you can criticize the performance 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.160 of the offense and you can say, look, they got 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.800 to kind of reinvent themselves to see how to play better, 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:46.000 to do better, and to score more points. This is 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.600 they're still playing good defensive football. But because you know, 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.120 when you talk about a score that's nineteen to three, 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.960 nineteen is not a great deal of points in the 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.920 NFL with the beginning field position, if the offense could 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.800 take advantage of that and they could get themselves in 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.000 the scoring column, and then you're allowed to do a 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.200 couple things more aggressively on defense. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.760 And when you have a guy like Tyler. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.600 Gordon back in the lineup, he gives you that type 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.840 of versatility that you can attack from different angles in 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.480 different levels. So if you're really looking at the big pitcher. 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:28.120 What can we do starting Wednesday at practice and continue 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.400 through the walkthroughs and into the meetings to make us 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.119 a more efficient offense. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.200 So we complement the defense and the special teams. 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.959 And that's why you're a professional coach, and this is 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.720 what you've been doing your whole life. This is why 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.440 you're a professional football player. And it kind of DeAndre 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.440 Swift said that a couple times at the podium and 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.840 so and you started it. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.000 This is Bears packers week. You don't need to say 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:57.320 a lot more after that. 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:02.079 This is an emotionally packed week that can do a 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.280 lot to get this thing right back on its feet. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.960 Now, you mentioned not reinventing the wheel, that kind of thing. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.760 Is it possible to do that midseason or are we 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:21.480 just talking about a different approach, whether it be coaches players, 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:26.240 both coaches and players at how this offense is supposed 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:26.840 to be working. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:28.079 Well. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.320 I just think, you know, last night on Bears Game 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.480 Night Live, we are talking about, you know, Keenan Allen, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.480 DeAndre Swift, what do you do well that you can 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.960 build upon going forward? And the passes and the examples 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.200 to Keenan Allen that can affect dj Roma, Dunz a 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.200 Cole Comet and everybody else that can catch the football 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.840 on this team. It's about the efficiency and the timing 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.640 of getting the ball out of Caleb's hands. He's got 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.640 great accuracy, He's super efficient on the short distance passes. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.440 Allow it to get into the hands of the playmaker 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.960 and then let them make the play. Don't count on 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.880 yourself as a quarterback that has to make the biggest 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:11.480 of the play. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.880 Just make the play that's offered to you. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.760 And we saw repeated examples of it to Keenan Allen 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.440 that I think that can carry through to every team 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.320 that you're going to play the remainder of the season. 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.599 Then you have to look at the plays that DeAndre 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:30.159 Swift runs well because they're being blocked well. If that's 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.440 the outside zone plays where you can use the athleticism 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.799 of the offensive line to get outside the power base 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.760 and compete more against linebackers and defensive backs. If you 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:45.000 have defined point of attack plays that you just tell 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.040 the running back follow the offensive line put the responsibility 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.840 on their shoulder, and DeAndre Swift even said at the podium, 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.760 if it means that I got to put my shoulders 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.440 down and get three plus yards per carry. 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.160 That's what we have to do. To me, it's not 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.000 an impossible task. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.920 It's just going to watch the tape, maybe backtracking and 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.360 watching a couple of other tapes, and just see what 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.640 you're repeatedly doing well, and you can do it. You 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.320 don't need fifty plays going into a game. You can 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.320 do it with the five best manageable plays run wise 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.480 that you can run repeatedly out of different formations, and 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.839 then the passing of getting the ball out of Caleb's hands. 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.479 Good new Chicago United Airlines is getting brand new planes 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.000 with all the bells and whistles, like Bluetooth connectivity screens 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.360 at every seat in room for everyone's roller bag. United 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.960 proud to fly the Chicago Bears in you two. So 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.120 let's listen in to the status at Hollis with the 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:48.440 head coach Matt Eberfluse as he investigates what potential changes 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.840 might be in store for the Bears in advance. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:51.920 Of the kickoff against the Packers. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.000 All right, thanks very much Matt for joining us once again. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:54.800 How you feeling today? 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:56.440 Okay, thanks for having me. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.719 I imagine not an easy day this week at Hallis 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.120 Off for you and your staff as you contemplate some 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.840 some tweaks, some changes to your offense and and how 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.160 it operates moving forward. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.320 Yeah, I think it's important that you take the time 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.960 to do that process, you know. And again, we're we're 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.880 all disappointed in the last three weeks. We know that, 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.600 But what's the what's the solutions and the answers uh 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.960 to you know, moving forward? And what's best for the Bears, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.440 you know, and not only what's best for the Bears, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.840 what's best for our offense, what's best for the for 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.200 the quarterback, what's best for the defense, what's best for 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.600 special teams? And and again we're in the process of 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.800 doing that. And again we've got to find some answers here. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.719 You know, we're playing some good football teams coming up, 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.600 We've got our division starting, so it's it's important we 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.400 get that done this week. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.840 And it's easy to just make rash decisions in a moment, right, Uh, 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:46.599 you got to gotta temper your own reactive nature. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.000 Everybody does. Everybody has that, and then you know, kind 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.279 of take a very thoughtful process. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:52.440 Yeah, it's got to be thoughtful. 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.159 It's got to be what's best for everybody and what's 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.280 best moving forward? And uh, you know, I know a 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.760 lot of times you know, a tweak here and a 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.240 tweak there is good and uh, and it can you know, 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.080 it can be you know, improved with just that much. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.600 And I think it's important that we we look at 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.840 it that way, and you know, going forward, there's going 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.360 to be adjustments and changes because we need to get better. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.120 As a football team. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.840 Is it's almost like being a car mechanic, to be honest, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:19.600 you're a car mechanic right now. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.120 Bring in the car. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.000 Hey, it's just not running right. There's something you know, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.320 the engine doesn't run right or whatever. And it's not 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.000 just like swapping out four tires. 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.040 You got to look at the engine right and you know, 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.960 and you you make that analogy, and I think it's 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.640 a good one. But you know, there is evidence on 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.640 tape that we have played good football. We have played 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.040 good compmentary football offense, defense and kicking, and our offense 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.640 has scored a bunch of points, you know, uh, in 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:42.600 consecutive weeks. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:44.920 You know, so it's it's it's there. 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.320 We just got to make we got to find that 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.120 winning formula and uh and get back to that, you know, 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.200 And and and not only get back to that, but 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.640 improved from that. You know, it's got to be an 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.440 ongoing process through the rest of the season, and you 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:58.800 know there's going to be tests, and there are going 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.960 to be adversities come up, and you know, playmaking and 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.840 putting guys in position are going to be at a 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.480 premium going forward. And that's where it is right now. 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.760 One of the biggest things is the protection obviously, or 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.880 how it's handled from the quarterback to the offensive line 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.960 of the backs, tight ends, wide receive, whatever the case 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.040 may be. You're you're going to keep experiencing that. Right 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.560 They're going to load up extras on the line of 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.960 scrimmage and make you figure out a way to stop it. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:31.320 Is that the quickest problem solve to get the offense 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.240 back running at a smooth level. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.319 Yeah, you know, it's always important that when you know 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.800 defenses crowd you up up front, that you you know 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.679 you have things to get over the top, and you 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.880 know those are things that you can do that multiple 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.560 ways and multiple designs. But again, that's an important thing 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.760 to do because you know, defenses in this league, you know, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.560 if they see something that's working, they're going to keep 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:53.920 running it. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:54.199 You know. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.319 So that's that's an important that we find answers for that. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.320 And like you you told me and Tom Sun after 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.720 the game, I talked about the offensive line and I'm paraphrasing, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.559 but it's like a puzzle right now. You don't know 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:09.640 what pieces are healthy week to week in game so 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.839 many times as has happened, but nobody cares. You know, 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.959 opposing team is not gonna care about that. You just 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.640 got to figure it out somehow, some way. And but 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.160 you're really you're rigga digging in deep to your depth. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:21.040 Yeah, yeah, we have. 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.120 We have done that during the course of the year. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.080 We started out the year pretty solid, you know, with uh, 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.120 you know, a little bit of injury here and there, 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.480 but you know, for the most part, you know, we've 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.800 had some guys shuffle in there and shuffle out, you know, 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.199 so we just hopefully we'll find some guys back, you know, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.280 this week, you know, based on injury and based on 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.880 how they practice, uh, And we're hopeful that way. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.120 And so you meet so many times with Caleb and 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.080 have that relationship with him, you would be the first 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.719 to know if there is any concern about what a 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.520 lot of quarterbacks, young quarterbacks if they get hit a lot, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.160 sometimes they start seeing go. So I'm not saying he is. 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.240 I'm just saying you think about David Carr. I think 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.280 about David Carr all the time. In his rookie year 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.680 and as an expansion quarterback he was. It's so many 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:04.640 times it likely affected his career. How do you make 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.720 sure that doesn't happen? 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.640 Yeah, you know, it's just I know that I do 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.320 know this that you know, Caleb is confident, he has 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.880 confidence in the in the guys around him, and uh, 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.120 you know, he's he's in his rookie year and he's 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.560 learning as he's going. And again we're looking for improvement 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.680 from him and for our offense and really for our 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:23.400 whole football team. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.439 All right, So even though things didn't light up on 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.200 the scoreboard, there's always something positive. As you say, when 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.679 you watch the tape, what are some things offensively? You 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.720 feel there is there, there's evidence of building on after 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:35.680 these last couple of yuys. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.240 You know, I showed and I showed the guys the 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.760 first part of that game, you know where you know, 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.360 we did some really good things. You know, we went 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.679 three and out on defense. Uh, you know, we end 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.480 up you know, having that great pump return which is 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.240 which is a flip the field type of play. And 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.280 you know, then on offense, you know, we ran the 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.400 ball uh effectively when we did run it, and uh, 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.840 we got to stay to that, you know, and there 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.320 were some tight window throws you know, to in uh 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.920 you know, to roam there were some tight you one 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.920 of the throws DJ, there were some good throws in there. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.520 And again we just got to be more consistent with that. 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.480 And then when we get into the scoring zone, you know, 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.120 when we get to that kick line and the scoring zone, 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.600 we got to do a really good job of of course, 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.160 we're not trying to kick field goals. We're trying to 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.360 score touchdowns, and we have to do a good job 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.360 of maintaining that kick line. You know, if we're on 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.520 that kick line, so we have at least come away with. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.880 Three so that the bummer body like the field position 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.160 was so good. That's an enviable moment early in that game. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.640 You know it four times or three times. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.400 You had the interception also, you know, so that that 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.880 to me is copmentory football. And I showed the guys 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.040 that those three sequences there to start that game. So 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.000 again that's Uh, that's playing cop meentary football. We just 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:44.920 got to cash it in there. 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.120 Let's look defensively, how did you guys in your opinion, 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.160 whether the absence of a big bill inside there's such 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:52.680 a presence. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.080 As we've discussed, our goal is three to nine average. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.280 We were four to one, so we were close to it. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.240 We ended up having a couple of one. Is that 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.280 that that came to there? But for the most part, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.000 we kept the cup. We kept the big cup, you know, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.360 so we didn't have big explosives there, and uh, it 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.960 was better. It was better overall. I thought the guy 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.120 stepped up in there in terms of the d tackles, 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.280 played solid pickings, you know. Uh, BC played well, you know, 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:18.680 so we just got to continue. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.000 To do that play We don't. I know, we play 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.680 a lot of guys, but we have to play well 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.000 and be consistent there. And I thought it was better yesterday. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.080 But you like playing a lot of guys though at 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:28.320 the same time, right, yeah. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:28.360 I do. 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.559 Yeah, And I really think Booker's coming on if you 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.640 watch him and the way he's playing. Really excited about him, 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.760 the way he's playing the run game, and the way 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:42.240 his passion and energy and his strike is really and 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.040 he was really close on a sack too, so his 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:46.400 development's really coming along. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:46.560 Well. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.079 Yeah, I mentioned him because he sticks out like the 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.680 violence which he plays with. Like you said, he there's 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.520 no quit in him. He's always showing up somewhere. Maybe 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.720 he didn't finish the play sometimes, but that's coming. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:12:59.400 Yeah. 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.480 And I also so pointed out, you know, Kyler Gordon 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.760 coming back first, coming back, and he really played a 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.160 nice game, you know, in terms of his reaction, in 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.959 terms of his you know, playing the run, playing in 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.160 the past. You know, I really think that, uh, you know, 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.559 he really came back in good shape and in a 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:14.000 good way. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:14.560 Uh. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.320 And the ones, you know, I talked to Elijah Hicks 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.480 after the game. It's kind of the first time I've 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.120 talked to him since he's been here. What a what 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.840 a nice, nice young man, and his very thoughtful approach 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.319 to the outcome of that game. And and you know, 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.160 having that interception right there in your hands. These things 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.680 are and that was in the end zone. I'm sure 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.559 Bayer thought he had one. Those could have made a 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.319 difference in the game as well. The ones you didn't finish, yeah, 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:40.000 there's no doubt. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.120 And you know, and then in the pocket. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.640 You know, we thought we gave you know, gave away 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.440 a couple of sacks just you know the other day too, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.199 I think we could have had some strip sacks in there. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.040 But again, those are big play moments, you know for 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.160 a football team, you know, when you set the field there, 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.160 get those takeaways on a short field, those are always 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:55.920 always big time moments. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.280 Okay, we can talk special teams real quick. Uh you 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.720 mentioned the dayan Ray Carter. He seems to always come 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.319 up with some some good play and in his opportunities. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.679 What'd you think of the day for Tory Taylor with 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.640 the wind being so unpredictable yesterday, I'm sure that impacted 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.160 everybody because you never knew where it was coming from, 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.000 at what time of the game, the gusts. I could 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.480 feel him in the booth out of nowhere, like that 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:20.360 was the day yesterday. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.040 It was real, It was real, and it was you know, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.400 flipping the field and getting you know, field position was 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.000 at a premium. You know, Tory has done a really 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.240 good job this year when he was when it has 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.360 to cut it against the wind or lay it up there, 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.200 you know, you know, you know, going with the wind also, 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.400 and he did a really good job of managing that, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:39.800 you know. I know, I think he figured it out 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.480 really fast, you know, after that first pun of his 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:42.560 But he did. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:43.160 A really nice job. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.440 Those are great learning tools for him for the rest 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.200 of his career here. 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.480 You know, so I think came and Cairo in there too. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.400 You know, the expertise and the knowledge that Cairo has 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.080 of soldier field is is is unmatched. And I think 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.000 that having his experience there helps him too. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.320 All Right, it's a roll up the sleeves, dig in 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.640 kind of moment. Green Bay Packers next. Uh, I know 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.880 you're focused on taking care of your own house right now, 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:08.360 not not worried about what they're doing. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.720 But off the buy, we we know what they are. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.960 I mean, let's just took like it from a one 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.360 one new angle is a new defensive coordinator that we 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:16.680 haven't facing, Jeff Haley. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.200 What do you know about where he approaches the game 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:20.440 and what you might expect that. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.680 Yeah, but you know, I've seen some crossover games with 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:27.360 our opponents very sound, you know, a little bit different structure. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.640 You know, plays a shell but also will drop in 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.480 and play some single high and you know it has 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.120 it has a pretty good butitz package too, you know, 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.240 and I know if they did a good job of 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.880 taking the ball away and that's a that's an important 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.080 part for them, So we have to do a really 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.240 good job of protecting it, you know, locking up the football. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:48.280 So again, so it's uh, in an offensively. 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:48.760 Obviously they're gonna run. 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:50.160 Yeah, they're they're. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.080 Explosive, you know in the run game and obviously the 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.920 pass and they they're they're one of the top five 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.040 offenses in the league, you know. So they got a 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.480 really good skill you know, in terms of their new 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.640 runner and the uh, you know, the skill set at receiver, 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.200 and you know, it's gonna be a big challenge for us, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.040 and we're excited to have been soldier field. 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.320 All right, Jessh Jacobs the running back you're referring to, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:12.920 all right, good luckily did prepped this week. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:13.400 You got it. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.000 Thanks, thank you, mat Tom. I think it is important 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.280 you said it before going into this interview. There are 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.080 things they do well. You can't dismiss the entire first 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.360 nine weeks of the seasons as a failure. Absolutely not. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.640 You're a sub five hundred team at the moment, but 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.160 the whole season's there before you. So taking his time 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.000 gonna figure out what's the best plan of attack. Everybody 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.000 knows it has to get better. Everybody knows they got 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.920 to get more points on the board. Everybody knows Caleb's 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.560 got to protect himself and the team has to protect Caleb. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.160 Coaches have to figure out the game plan to protect 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.200 Caleb better and face what they're going to continue to face. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.280 How are they going to diffuse the bomb? The bomb 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:56.160 is the blitz. The bomb is a six man protection 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:00.680 needed sometimes seven, sometimes a nice stunt that gets home. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.440 Everybody is putting the pressure on the Bears until they 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.560 stop it. And that's really what you've been pointing out 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.320 week after week after week, and they're going to continue 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:09.639 to see it until they stop it. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:13.159 Yeah, So the point of emphasis there is then we 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.639 talked about. Is it passes out of the hand quickly 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.920 of Caleb to all the dynamic receivers the Bears have. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.120 Is it getting back to running screens that can deceptively 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.560 be run against multiple multiple people pressure at the line 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.680 of scrimmage. Is it the type of trapping and the 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.000 interior blocking schemes that you can use against an opponent 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.159 that wants to be over aggressive at the line of 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.600 scrimmage and those are all those things are going to 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.800 be investigated by the coaching staff and you know, and 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.200 to see what best suits the Chicago Bears right now. 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:49.280 So that's what I said. 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.520 This isn't something that they cannot do, and they just 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.560 have to fold their tents and show up week by week. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:57.280 And even again. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:01.160 Going back to DeAndre, paying attention to the detail during practice, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.840 make sure that you don't have those pre snap penalties, 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.440
