You're never gonna forget it, are you? No? 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.760 I won't. There was a special night and you know, 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.400 just really neat for our team, our city, our fans. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.760 It was electrifying last night. They were a big part 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.720 of the win. And then for all of us together 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.240 just to celebrate. It was a really good time. What 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.160 did you think of the anthem? Wow, that's all I 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.280 could say, you know, I mean it literally made made 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.360 you just so proud. Um it was it was so neat. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.000 You know, anybody that's never been a part of that. 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.760 I was. I was able to see it happen at 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.840 a Blackhawks game, and but to be out there on 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.399 the fifty yard line here in the front and center 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.480 was it was really special. And they roared all day. 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:33.880 But you gave him a lot to roar about it. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.119 We tried, Yeah, let's start with the defense because that's 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.760 certainly a big story. You do the scan of the 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.560 national TV today and that's a big conversation. Fifty two 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.959 and a Bears jersey. I was getting a lot of love, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.360 But it's more than him. He's opening some doors, but 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.640 guys are running through and punching down the walls. It 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.000 is and and uh, you know, it goes to show, um, 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.919 what can happen when you get eleven guys playing playing together, 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.440 and then you bring Khalil into this thing, and uh, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.400 it just makes it, uh you know special for the guys. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.880 They go out, they play physical, they're dominating last night. Uh, 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.280 it was. It was a big time challenge to keep 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.120 Russell in the pocket. I thought we did a really 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.480 good job at that. And then uh, in turn, you 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.440 get turn over sacks in good field position with that. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.440 I mean in the broadcast, I kept asking time fair 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.560 is he unwilling to leave the pocket or do they 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.799 have him just so cornered down in and down out 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.560 that he had no escape route and he tried to 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.640 trigger from the pocket. It might have been a little 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.080 bit of both, you know, of coach Fangio and the 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.400 rest of our coaches did a really good job at scheming. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.200 I thought, for for a quarterback that can be such 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.959 a weapon outside the pocket. And then you got to 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.080 give the players credit for for executing the game plan. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.000 And anytime you have collapsed pocket and you don't have 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.520 green grass, as we like to say in the quarterback room, 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.320 it's tough. And that's what our defense did last night. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.680 They somewhat suffocated them and made them made him really, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.239 you know, stay in that pocket. And and it's difficult 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.200 to make tight, tight window throws when you're in there. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.320 And now the league and sex, I know it's two weeks, 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.160 but still it's good to be number one. It's something, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.720 right it is. Yeah, yeah, and that's that's uh. When 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.000 you're sacking the quarterback, that means good things are happening. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.160 And then and then of course to get the turnovers 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.239 and have two games in a row here where yeah, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.480 pick six is uh, that's uh, that's rare. That's rare company, 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.440 and it's rare for Russell Wilson. I don't know if 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.120 you realize this or not. It's only the third of 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.679 his entire career and been like twenty eight hundred pass 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.440 attempts between pick sixes. So that is, in fact, by 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:30.280 definition rare. Doesn't surprise me, Danny, excuse me. Prince of 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.240 Mukamara also gave you the game ball. Yeah, so that 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.240 was nice as well. In the locker room that Iland 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.920 saw a snippet of it. What else went on in there? Well, we, uh, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.040 the guys had a little fun, you know. We we 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.360 we decided to let these guys celebrate it. I thought 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.560 it was had a good talk with coach Madden this 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.360 summer and we talked about some different ideas and thoughts, 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.520 and I just, uh, it's just so important to allow 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.120 these guys to enjoy the moment. And there's there's um. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.720 You know, you only get so long to celebrate these things, 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.640 and before you know it, you're right here already working 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.040 on the Cardinals. And so we took five minutes out 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.520 of our night last night to celebrate it. And the 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.640 guys had some fun. There was some good dance moves, 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.040 and yourself and I stayed out of that bad little dab. 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.560 Maybe down down the road, Yeah, down the road. You 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.000 know they're gonna ask that's okay, you opened up. They're 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.040 gonna ask Man Naggie, our guest here on the Bears 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.920 Coaches Show, as we get you set for Arizona on Sunday. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.039 It's a quick turnaround. Indeed, I will say this one 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.400 more on that topic. You play music obviously during practice, 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.359 you did throughout training camp. Your team's a team of dancers, 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.919 and Tarik Cohen's probably tops on the list. There's a 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.520 bunch of guys. They just move. They're out there moving around, 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.520 they do and they have energy, positive energy, and we're 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.760 letting a personality show when they're out there. They're having 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.039 fun and uh, it's I think it's good healthy environment. 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.279 Did you anticipate because you're a football guy obviously, so 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.800 this is gonna be a to me, probably a slam 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.800 dunk answer, But the constant comparison and the constant microscope, 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:06.000 Mitch Robiski's under almost a minute by minute analysis of 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.600 how he's growing, what he's learning, what he's not doing right. 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.560 It's I know that's the quarterback position. But were you 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.919 prepared for that, especially in light of other kids in 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.600 his draft class and whatnot. Yeah, you are, I know, 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.320 I was. I know he is, and that just comes 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.560 with the territory and he's handled it great. Um you 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.599 know right now, I just want him to control what 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.880 he can control and just focus on being the best 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.479 quarterback he can be. If you do that, everything else 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.640 normally take care takes care of itself. So what I'm 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.400 gonna do as a as a head coach and is 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.120 really just be there for him, support him at all times. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.400 And most importantly, I just wanted him to have phone 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.200 when he's out there and just let it rip. And 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.360 there's gonna be times where there's a mistake, maybe it's 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.360 a bad throw or a poor decision, but we're gonna 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.000 go about it with the next play mentality And I 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:54.680 think you saw that last night. There was a couple 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.720 of plays that he missed. He did have a couple interceptions, 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.400 but again that's a part of football. He'll learn from that, 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.200 and I promise you he'll get better from it. You've 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.240 been way out in front of that. You've been talking 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.760 this way from the moment we started. Why. Yeah, Well, 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.919 it's because I know this offense and I know what 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.840 it takes. No matter who you are at quarterback, it 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.800 does take a little bit of time. And so we 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.880 all understand in this building, inside those four walls here 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.800 at House Hall, that you know there's gonna be a 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.479 little bit patience needed. Now that doesn't mean that you 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.880 can't go out and still execute and score a lot 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.480 of points, but there's gonna be some bumps in the 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.000 road that you need to be able to recover from. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.800 And then as long as you use it as a 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.880 learning tool to make yourself better in most regards, then 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.320 in the end, once you get through that patience level, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.200 then it'll work out. Thinking about it, he is complete 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.960 and seventy percent of his passes. Maybe not all the 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.920 intermediate to deep rounts yet, but sure, yeah no, And 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.719 also the shots will come, they'll they'll happen. I think 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.840 what happens is if you start to try to force 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.640 the shots down field, then normally you won't be successful. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.160 So you got to just let it happen. Play it out, Um, 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.600 you know, just stay within the system. I I need 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.200 to continue to just uh, you know, keep calling plays 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.040 that can put him in a good situation the rest 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.320 of our guys and and then again, he has some 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.000 talent around him, but those guys are learning this offense too. 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.960 So as much as it is for the quarterback learning 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.240 this offense, we have a lot everybody on this offense 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.960 is learning it too. So that's all. That's all too 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.760 that you're still learning all of them. Very fair, yeah, 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.640 very free. You get to see how these guys work. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.400 And you know, the plays that worked in Kansas City 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.320 in this offense could be totally different than the plays 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.560 that work here in Chicago. And so that's kind of 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.160 what we're working through right now. And we're creating our 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.720 own identity on offense. And uh, I don't know exactly 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.080 when that time is going to come that we know 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.960 for sure that this is it, but we're in the 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.320 middle of it right now and I'm just really I 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.200 like where we're at and as long as we keep 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.200 getting wins and that's okay. Well, it's a tried and 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.680 true system, so you know there's a big, big bonus 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.880 at the end of the rainbow. For sure. It's work. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.920 It has worked, it has worked, and um, you know 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.120 that's that's what's so exciting. That's why our players are excited. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.720 And then as a team collectively, UM, we all just 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.880 know once once, uh we keep sticking together, and uh 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.440 we win together, we lose together, and then we play 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.520 together and and in the end we just all try 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.320 to control what we can control. The Bears Coaches Show 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.720 with head coach Mad Maggie and w BBMS Jeff Jonie 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:30.600 app continue back. Here's the throw thirty to the twenty 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:38.080 inside cutting off. So pick six, goodbye, Prince Amukamara twenty 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:43.560 three ten Bears the lead dot com on the official 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.800 Bears app All right, so the pick six by Prince 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.440 Samu Kamara. Uh, you know, all day long, you're waiting, 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.480 you're waiting, you're waiting for something big to happen. You 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.000 don't know if it's going to be a bouncing ball 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:58.360 or whatever the case may be. And boy, that was preparation, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.559 he said. He even kind of setting it up all 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.200 day somehow and it was his study that led to 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.520 that interception. Yeah, it just goes the show what type 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.800 of player he is anticipating that setting him up. We've 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.240 seen that in practice, We've seen it in h in 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.880 training camp, and just what a game changing moment there 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.000 to be able to not only intercept it, but to 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.640 take it back and score the touchdown. And that was 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.199 obviously a big moment. And to again to have that 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.840 happened in that game and previously the previous game with 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:32.200 khalil Um that that that obviously gives your chances a 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.160 lot greater in regards to winning that game. I want 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.000 to go back to something saying the first part, because 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.480 you know about the next play mentality, you got to 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.640 give a tip of the cap to the defense after 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.680 the two interceptions. They did not allow a first down 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.720 on those next two possessions. So again that's team football 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.160 picking your guys up on the offensive side and so 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.880 no damage done. It is, and we talk about that 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.080 all the time, and there's gonna be times where where 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.520 maybe the defense gives up a touchdown and the offense 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.319 has to step up and go down and score and 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.400 so um, you know, to have two interceptions back to 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.800 back and for the defense to force two, three and 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.840 ounce was big and and uh it just uh it 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.680 just stops a momentum that that the the opponent could 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.240 have after a big play. And when you have that, 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.079 it gives you just so much confidence as a team 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.800 knowing that each each side has each other's back. Well, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.839 Kwan Smith got to start at inside linebacker next to 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.160 Danny Trevathan and it had a big, big day with tackles, 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:29.400 with seven tested in coverage, everything you'd want to see 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.200 from an inside linebacker. The rookie level, you know, saw 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:33.839 a lot of what you saw in college. The form 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.920 tackling was very good. Would you think overall this performing 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:38.680 he did really well. You know. The one thing that 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.079 stood out to me was being on Monday night and 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.920 his first start, uh the game. You know, the lights 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.880 weren't too bright, the game wasn't too big. He played fast, 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.640 he was very focused, um, very business like at the 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.640 beginning of the game. At the end of the game, 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.960 it was the same. And so it showed up in 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.320 between plays. It made some great tackles, um, you know, 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.440 and so that's that's for him a starting point. And 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.640 now we just hope that each and every rep that 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.520 he gets in the game, he continues just from prove improof. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.240 It's a bit of a feeding friends, you going on 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.600 that side of the ball, isn't it. I mean you 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.440 can sense it. So many guys getting a hand into 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.080 that game. And the different packages. So you played a 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.840 lot of players yesterday, maybe they didn't get a ton 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.160 of snaps. I'm talking about the packages of putting Sherik 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.200 of Manison. There. You got Aaron Lynch marked down the 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.520 sheet for this game with a sack and involved very much, 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.400 um the law. Nichols got his first snaps in the NFL. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.480 So everybody wants in right now. It's good. Yeah, they 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.400 all feel it and they know it. And so again 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.400 when you have some of the players that we have 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.640 on defense, Um, there's mismatches that occur, and uh, you 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.720 know when when other guys need to step up and 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.800 make plays, you see that happen, and you know, you know, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.719 along with that is uh Danny Trerethan. You know what 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.839 a great game he had, you know, with with a 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.720 couple of sacks and forced fumbles and he was just 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.400 all over the place. And that's what we like, we 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.040 need to have that and the list goes on and 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.840 on from the defense yesterday, Uh, it was a special 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.760 night for them. It was a one that we won't forget. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.840 And we got to continue to keep that thing going. 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.560 And let's look at the offensive side of the ball again. 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.320 You mentioned the running game today. You'd like to see 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.040 in terms of actual pure running plays get a little 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.760 more production. I would, And I think that you know, 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.760 in our situation, Uh, the the big old line and 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.480 the running backs they set the tone. And um, yesterday, Uh, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.760 you know, we just weren't averaging as many yards as 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.920 we would like to in a game. But they understand that. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.920 They know that and any run game is going to 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.560 help you know, an offense out in particular or quarterback 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.680 and so um that's something that we'll we'll definitely focus 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.160 on and uh and I know the guys will work 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:45.840 hard at it. We have a great group of offensive 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.240 line and great group of backs, tight ends, etc. And 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.680 so um, you know that they'll they'll take a look 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.520 at the film and see where we can improve a 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.760 bunch of third and shorts third and make with thirtain 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.600 you know five or less. Uh, your playbook is wide 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.559 open that point, then, isn't it? It can be. And 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.800 that was the one thing yesterday in the game was 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.080 in the first half we were five for eight on 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.400 third downs and they were all third and manageable. I 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.400 don't think any of them were more than you know, 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.720 third and six, third and seven. Most of them were 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.960 into one, two, three, four range. But then on the 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.760 other hand, we did not convert a third down in 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.440 the second half, and so we only had four opportunities, 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.840 one of them being a four minute third down, So 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.240 really we were over for three and those were all 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.520 you know, third and double digits, third and ten, third 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.000 and twelve, third and fourteen, and so just goes to 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.320 show you gotta you gotta be able to get positive 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.440 yards on first down and put yourself in third and 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.960 manageable and now your percentages go way up. So first 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.760 half we did that, second half we did, and so 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.520 again that's something we need to improve that. As you 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.880 go back, I watched the tape today as you did, 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.640 probably more than once, and I mentioned it to you 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.959 in the in the our post came interview that that 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.720 long drive bridging the third and fourth quarter. As you 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.560 look back again now looking in retrospect, how big was 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.560 that drive? It was big and actually it was our 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.120 best drive of the game. And I say that because 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.600 of where it happened in the game. And then on 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.240 top of that, we had eleven plays in that drive, Jeff, 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.800 and we didn't have one third down, and so when 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.480 you have first down anything, yeah, yeah, So anytime you 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.400 do that, you're getting more than just positive yards. And 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.640 then to top it off with a touchdown. To me, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.640 that might have been one of our best drives that 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.960 we've had in two games. And so that was that 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.400 was something for us to build on again. We started 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.640 out hot, went ninety you know, ninety five yards ish 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.960 for a touchdown to start the game. And it's there, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.280 it's there. We just got to find a consistency. Tantonine 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.760 No more of the Bears Coaching Show with head coach 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.760 Matt Maggie on news Radio seven eighty and one oh 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:47.600 five point nine FM w BBM, Tribisky Gun Howard. It 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.840 was left Gabriel to the right, bunch set to the 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:54.440 left side, fakes rules, throwing into band zone, catches back, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:02.040 touchdown touchdowns are up sixteenth three out of the Seahawks 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.520 forty five seconds out of the fourth quarter. Bears in 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.200 front all right, Anthony Metta was his first NFL touchdown catch. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.320 You liked that play, don't you? In the red zone. Yeah, 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:12.680 that was a good one. You know. We were able 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.000 to get Mitch outside of the pocket, get him on 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.920 the run and Anthony made a nice little move there 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.480 on the corner in a good catch and the Bears 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.880 get the win.

Okay, so you didn't get to witness it. 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.600 I don't know if you've had time to go back, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.680 but it was pretty cool to see Brian or Lacker 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:51.840 out there, missus McCaskey taking the microphone and having every 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.440 one of those fans attentive to what was going on. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.960 But what I loved to seeing all the old teammates 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.520 coming back. Yeah, and your guys who witnessed that to 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.400 see what it's all about here in Chicago. Man, that 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.760 that's the best right, Yeah, it was, and we caught 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.600 the tail end of it, and you know, just so 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.120 much support and just so much hard work through with 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.240 what Brian has done and then to put it all 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.520 together at home in front of everybody. What a special 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.560 moment for everybody, everybody involved. And you know, like I said, 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.400 we got to catch the end of it walking out 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.360 there on the field, but I know everyone was really proud, 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.720 which which brings me up Danny Treviathan because he was 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.600 asked about it, he says, oh, we knew, we knew 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.280 what this meant, this day meant to Chicago. So at 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.280 the linebacker level, they went out and balled out, as 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.080 he likes to say. And he may be the underrated 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.560 story of the game because he had a huge game 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.880 and he was playing like Danny trevithan completely healthy thinking 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.239 of the game, playing the game with that vicious attitude 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.120 on the field, and I don't I think it's kind 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.840 of an underrated story in that game. He is for sure, 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.160 and he's a guy that he had a great game 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.320 against the Packers as well. He's playing that at a 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.840 high level and we need that he's an experienced veteran 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.680 on our defense. Our guys look to him as a leader, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.760 and when they see a leader like him flying around 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.040 making plays with the energy that he has, it's infectious 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.840 to everybody else. So he did. He had a really 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.120 big game last night. I saw him in the locker 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.760 room afterwards. He was completely exhausted. He left it all 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.320 out in the field and he did it through all 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.280 four quarters. Target totals being what they are, they will 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.800 change week to week based on a lot of different things. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.399 But in his career, Alan Robinson's been a featured target 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.120 one hundred and fifty one targets his last two years 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.159 before last year's injury, so he's used to getting targeted. 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.280 He got the number one amount of targets yesterday and 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.480 ten catch day. What's this due to the entire offense 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.960 now moving forward? Because it does create interest from defenders 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.920 now it does, and you know A rob has respect 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.399 from every defensive back and safety in this league, and 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.480 so he's going to get that. And I think what 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.040 he's doing is he's now building trust and a good 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.639 trust with Mitchell and you'll see that continue to get 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.960 better and better as well. The more and more routes 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.600 they run the more and more plays that we have. 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.560 And so for last night, for him to have fourteen 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.560 targets and ten catches, that's a start. And uh, you know, 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.160 now his his um you know, yards per catch wasn't 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.160 extremely high, but again that's per game how that goes. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.880 And so you know, we're just we like where that's at. 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:25.800 We want to get that with some other receivers as 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.560 well and tight ends and but for the most part, 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.880 we were happy with that. There's no doubt. And I've 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.200 talked to you about this and you've told us about 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.119 it as well. This is a tight room, tight team. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.399 It's growing tighter every day. And today's another example, the 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.480 Bears announcing with the players committing more than two hundred 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.679 and fifty thousand dollars the local social justice initiatives, the 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.800 Bears also matching that, so it's a half a million 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.600 dollars in the discussion. That's a part of this. You've 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.040 been a part of this as well. What are your 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.679 thoughts on all this? Today, the Bears released on Twitter 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.440 and their and their website and Facebook an eight and 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:02.040 a half minute video with the Committee of Gentlemen, Sam 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.960 Matchel at the at the top of it, obviously, Trey Burton, 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.720 Chase Daniel Keem Hicks, Mitch Drobiski, and Chairman of the 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.600 board George McCaskey. Yeah, So it's this is something that 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.680
