Wishing you a pleasant, 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.000 good evening on your Saturday with my broadcast partner from 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.360 news radio seven eighty and one oh five nine WBBM Chicago. 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.680 Bears Super Bowl winner Tim There. Tim, How you doing, buddy, 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.599 I'm doing good. Getting ready for a big homecoming, it 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.200 seems because we've been on the road so often this season, 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.599 it's gonna be great to be at home noon on Sunday. Yeah, 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.560 back to back weeks after four trips in five. Absolutely, 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.880 we're previewing Week nine, the matchup tomorrow at Soldier Field. 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.159 Our pregame at nine, kickoff at noon on WBBM. Coming Up. 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.920 We'll joined by Coming Up. We'll be joined by wide 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.200 receiver Nakil Harry and then later in the program Joe Rose, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.080 the outstanding analyst and former Dolphin tight end as we 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.360 break down Bears and Dolphins. Thanks for our producers Dan 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.760 Barelli and Jordan tread Up and the folks here at 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.800 the score. So let's not dwell on it because it's 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.080 happened early in the week and we want to focus 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.880 on the game tomorrow. But what are your impressions of 0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:00.760 basically a swap of Robert Quinn Roquan Smith to Philadelphia 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:05.399 and Baltimore in exchange for future draft compensation, wide receiver 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.840 Chase Claypool and linebacker A J. Klein. I think you 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.240 have to look at everything in regards of the future, 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.559 and I think it's trying to set up a roster 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.720 that's going to come in here and be able to compete, 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.920 compete for division championships and then ultimately go deep into 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.960 the playoffs. And if you wanted to look at guys 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.000 or at the end of their contracts or at the 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.040 guys that wanted a new contract, you really didn't know 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.679 how those things we're going to work themselves out. So 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.160 if you could get some draft capital to bring in 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.840 some young men that's going to help the future of 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.880 this roster, I'm all for it, all right. Chase Claypool 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.560 is the intriguing person right now. He's got every tool 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.400 in the shed. He's got experience, he had success in Pittsburgh, 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.760 certainly in his rookie year with Ben Roethlisberger. Here's more 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.440 insight from Bario's wide receivers coach tit Toober. Here has 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:58.200 a lot of physical traits you like, he's big, he's fast, 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.120 he has a has a Fordians burd cool. Um, it's 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.240 a big hands. Um, he's paid in this region before 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.320 being a Notre dame. So the cold weather to win, 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.679 now that would bother him as much. So here's a 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.639 lot of positive things we're looking for. How about his 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.160 personality and attitude towards the game. It's been good since 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.560 he's been here. Um, you know when he first got here, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.800 you know, we sat down how to talk with him 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.120 about how we do things here and this last couple 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.760 of days in practice, you know, how we practice hard, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.040 how we finished hard and everything. You know, had to 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.320 remind him a couple of times. Um, he said, yeah, yeah, 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:30.919 gotta get used to doing it, you know, this way 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.600 all the time. So all that's been positive. Just finishing 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.799 on every play, whether you have the ball or not. Now, 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.640 sometimes it's easy for a receiver to go out for 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.480 a pass play or we're gonna run play somebody else 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.520 carrying the ball. He's kind of stopping watch, But we 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.840 don't stop and watch here. We finish every play with 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.600 or without the ball. What have you seen that tape 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.320 of Clay Pools run run blocking prowess because of his 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.480 size and in his in his strength, he's good at it. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.920 You know, he can finish better, you know, and we'll 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.160 he'll conform to what we're doing because we're finishing with 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.480 this group. So and I think he's gonna get so 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.040 much better and what he is, well, you can count 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.640 on that because October, we've talked about this before. He'll 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.200 he'll show these guys. They're great blocks over they're great catches. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.880 You're right, six four, two thirty eight, biggest wide receiver 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.040 in the NFL when you talk about the bodies, He's 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.120 going to be blocking against our undersized cornerbacks and safeties. 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:29.840 So the immediate advantage goes to Chase Claypool. And then 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.320 when you look at comparative staffs between he and Darnell Mooney, 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.040 Clay thirty nine games, Mooney forty one games. Clay's got 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.480 one hundred and fifty three catches. Mooney's got one hundred 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.320 and sixty seven catches. So he's a great compliment to 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.840 the opposite side of what Darnell Mooney can still offer 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.360 the Bears than what Chase Claypool can bring aboard. And 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.560 I don't know how you think about this either. You know, 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.920 I keep mentioning a basketball team and you kind of 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.800 want that on your offense. Right, Well, you've got you've 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.800 got two backs that are feisty and we'll fight for 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.920 every inch in our good pass catchers. You got Cole 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.880 Cometz still untapped in terms of getting him the football 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.280 and feeding him the football certainly in key leverage situations 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.400 on third down in the red zone. And now you 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.400 got two six foot four athletic receivers nikkil Harry and 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.120 Chase Claypool with Darnell Mooney can move all over the formation. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.160 I know Luke Getsy wants these guys to play all 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.560 these positions and they want to spread the ball around. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.800 And then you got Dante Pettish, you got Pringle coming back, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.520 you got Ryan Griffin, and Equomenius Saint Brown at six 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.760 five also proving himself as well. So it is a 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.120 basketball team pretty much in this case. Yeah, of course, 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.520 you know, it's all about continuous first downs. And if 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.120 you don't have Pro Bowl receivers, you have a quarterback 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.640 back down the custom of being a Pro Bowl quarterback. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.239 But you think of over Chase his time in Pittsburgh, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.360 of his fifty three catches on third down forty three 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.800 of them I've won for first downs. And that's the 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.000 key ingredient here is keep your offense on the field 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.760 and keep those first downs going. You know that you 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.720 can get him on the running game, but you need 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.080 him in the passing game equally as well. All Right, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.640 we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we'll 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.880 be joined by one of those six foot four receivers, 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.320 nikkil Harry here on Bears All Access on Chicago Sports 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.120 Radio six seventy the Score. Welcome back to Bears All 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.880 Access here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the Score. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.400 Tom there will be along in our next segment as well. 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.440 We're here with a Bear's wide receiver, nikkil Harry, his 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.600 first touchdown as a Bear. We got to start there right. 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.200 Welcome in and thank you for taking the time. It's 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.040 always good to get that first one, right, Yes, break 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.160 that one down for us. Um, so notice pre snapped 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.839 man coverage. Um, you had no help inside, So I 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.640 just try my best to get him his toes. Um, 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.880 you know, get a get out of my breake whale. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.800 And you know, justin delivered a nice ball and and 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.680 this man you can't see it, folks. We've got a 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.960 big smile on his face, right, because the thing is 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.559 he did throw a nice ball. But you're so big 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.920 at six four, you can shield off that defender and 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.480 you're showing him as your numbers, right, so he can 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.400 see that. He sees the color. And I often hear 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.520 and a lot of people don't understand sometimes the nuances 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.240 of route running, which is very specific. But when you 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.880 say you get on a guy's toes, I mean you're 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.680 you're complicating his ability to shift his feet. Correct? Is 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.960 it explain that in more detailed. So basically, on a 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.800 route like that, the further away from him that you break, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.600 the easier it is for him to break on the ball. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.880 And you know, make a play on the ball. So 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.920 when you step on his toes like that, you're kind 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.760 of like you're you're limiting that space and you get 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.440 all up in his space and dbs feel uncomfortable when 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.000 you get all up in their space. So kind of 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.400 made it hard for him and you know, hopefully made 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.919 it easier for the quarterback. I can hear whispering, I 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:44.600 get out of my area code where you get out 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.080 of my zip code? But it is good to have 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.039 you on the field. And I don't know when the 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.200 last time you played forty five snaps in the game, right. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.040 Unfortunately missed the first six this year, so you didn't 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.240 get a ton of targets. But you know, it's a 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.480 slow process when you're reintroduced to especially at a a new 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.719 system like this one. But I did the fifth feel 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.200 good to you to be on the field for forty 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.280 five I think it was forty five snap? Yeah, No, absolutely, 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.000 it feels good being out there. Um. You know, I 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.000 wasn't too worried about how much I got targeted, how 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.960 many catches I had. Um, you know, I got a 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.720 lot of opportunities to block last game. So you know, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.240 I really enjoyed that getting the smile. The man's got 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.920 the killer instinct in the blocking game. I saw that 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.760 back at Arizona State and New England. Why do you 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.200 love that so much? Um? I guess it's just getting 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.120 to impose your will. You know, there's not a lot 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.560 of sports out there that you get to impose your 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.080 will on somebody else like that. I mean, I'm a 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.360 big guy, so you know that's that's a role that 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.080 I take pride in. And you know, however, I can 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.960 help this team win, which run blocking is an important, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.240 very important part of the game. Um, you know, so 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.560 I take a lot of pride in now. You know, 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.000 a lot of teams want to run the ball, they 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.600 say they want to run. We have to establish the 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.800 run with this team. This team is just going out 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.720 there doing it and number one in the league. Is 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.840 there a pride factor in this? Now? For all you 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.880 loving tight ends Cole Comet. You know, people always want 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.720 to say, oh, you know he loves blocking, like he's 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.600 worked on that. You know, Darnell Mooney throws his body 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.760 around like that. He'sn't as big as you. Prideful though 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.240 for the whole unit to see the production in that aspect, Yeah, absolutely, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.840 because when it comes to blocking, um, you know we 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.400 kind of feel like that's having your brother's back. Um. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.240 You know, it's easy to go out there and run 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.320 a bunch of routes. And I wouldn't say easy, but um, 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.680 you know, it's a lot more difficult for receivers to 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.120 go out there and just you know what I'm saying, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.440 just laid the body on the lines. There's a lot 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.280 of receivers that don't like to block. But everybody in 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.240 our wide receiver room. You know, we take a lot 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.320 of pride in that, and you know our coaches are 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.920 honest about that. So we we we we try to 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.040 make sure we come through every game. Heck on you 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.560 about it. October told me he cuts up the clips 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.240 of the blocks before he ever puts the big catches 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.360 on there. Is that true? And then how serious is 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.920 he about it? Because he's pretty transparent. That guy tells 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.600 you exactly how he feels. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, first of all, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.240 we love we love coach Tyke, all of us do. Um. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.960 But yeah, you know, I think he takes just as 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.120 much pride as we do. And blocking, um, you know, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.440 it's it's it's a very important part of the game 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.600 and then an important part of our offense. So you know, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.400 he makes sure we know how important it is for 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.280 us to go out there and not only just give 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.400 the effort to block, but have the right technique and 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.720 have the right position on certain blocks. Nikkill Harry our 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.520 guest here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy to score time. 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.360 There will be along as well, the Bears getting ready 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.959 to meet the Miami Dolphins. So now you're receiving corps 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.280 basically a basketball team. Okay, you got big Cold at 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.960 six six, you got Griff the other tight end in there, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.360 you got yourself at six four, and now you get 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.079 another six foot four, two hundred and forty pounder and 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.400 Chase Claypool. You guys could be twins, so there's gonna 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.160 be twin towers out there. I don't know if your 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.959 pads have crossed prior to this. He was a twenty 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.120 twenty draft pick. I believe number forty nine. You were 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.760 number thirty two and twenty nineteen, so you had two 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.000 top fifty receivers who can run, who can jump. He 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.240 had a forty vertical I think yours was thirty eight, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.520 and you got the site. What does this mean for 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.360 the Chicago Bears? And if you ever crossed passed with 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.880 him priorum, I haven't really crossed passed with him prior. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.360 But you know, we're excited we get another talent to 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:20.720 wide receiver coming here help us win games. So you know, 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.640 we're just gonna try to get him acclimented to the 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.880 offense as fast as possible. And you know we're we're 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.720 super excited to have him. The mind starts, you know, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.680 it's amazing how the addition of one I consider you 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.800 a major addition right now because you missed the first 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.280 six unfortunately with an injury. But you just added two 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.920 top fifty players in their respective drafts. At this kind 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.439 of size, now you could maneuver Darnell in different ways. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.520 You got the number one rank rushing offense. Justin starting 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.800 to feel it is the final nine games of this 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.079 more like almost a new set of games with the additions. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.319 I think Pringle will be coming off soon. I mean, 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.400 everybody healthy, it's pretty healthy football team. Cody might be 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.560 coming back this week. Do you feel like this is 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.160 a kind of a new floor set up here? Yeah, definitely. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.960 So you know, just having getting him added into our offense, 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.880 you know, opens up a lot. You know, it's it's 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.840 another um threat that defenses have to take seriously and 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.000 will take seriously because he could take the top off 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.600 UM and then we get BP back. So you know, 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.920 we have a lot of depth at receiver, so god 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.200 forbid somebody does go down, we have we have that 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.080 depth here and you know, if coach wants to keep 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.600 us fresh, you can rotate thiss in and out. So um, 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.160 you're excited, We're excited. You got the double whammy, you 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.600 get moved, and that was a good thing for you. 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.760 I think you would agree, And then you get the 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.480 injury where you're crushed or is it just part of 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.560 the game, you know what a lot of guys get, 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.360 you know, getting up a little bit and I gotta 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.920 restart a little bit. Um, I'll definitely crush, Yeah, especially 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.760 figuring out that I had to get surgery and I 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:00.160 was gonna miss um, you know, six seven weeks. Um. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.079 But at the end of the day, you know, my teammates, 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.200 my family, coaches, you know, they did a great job, 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.679 you know, keeping my spirits up, helping me see the 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:13.840 the positive of this situation. So you know, the initial 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.680 reaction was definitely I was definitely upset and I was 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.720 definitely crushed. But um, you know they did a great 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.079 job helping me bounce back and keep my head into it. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.440 Do you think it helped you'll learn the offense better 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.160 on the sideline? Just maybe let's let's look at some 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.440 really silver lining to it, because you were you're very 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.880 much engrossed in that I knew I knew from hearing 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.960 the people. You know, you were really picking it up good. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.240 So do you think that helped. Yeah, definitely in a 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.120 weird way. Yeah, definitely, because there's a lot of moving 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.200 parts in this offense. You know, it's not I wouldn't 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.920 say this is an easy offense to grasp. Um, you 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.440 really have to put in not only time in the building, 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.040 but extra time by yourself if you really want to 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.400 understand the offense how you need to to be able 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.760 to go out there and do everything that you need 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:02.360 to do correctly. So yeah, those those first six weeks 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.120 being out, it definitely did help me. But um, you know, 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.079 getting back on the practice field actually helped a lot more. 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.640 I feel like this because there's no substitute for getting 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.720 out there and getting real reps with with the team. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.640 What makes this offense challenging in your opinion? Um, well, 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.600 the first thing I was challenging for me is some 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:23.120 of the terms we had where the same terms I 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.160 had in New England, but they meant though, Oh no, 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.720 they meant a whole different thing. So I don't jumble 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.240 the brain a little bit. Yeah, I had to get 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.160 you to that first. And then you know, like I said, 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:34.719 there's just a lot of moving parts. You know, there's 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.920 a lot of thinking, there's a lot of things that 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.920 you need to know pre snap post snap, you know. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:41.959 So it was a bit difficult that first but nothing 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.160 that you know, nothing that we can't handle. Yeah, it'd 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.120 be it'll be a great feeling when the moment comes. 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:47.800 You can just let it rip, right. You don't have 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.040 to think yeah, you know right, yeah, Which is kind 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.800 of how I felt last game. You know, the first game, 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.960 I feel like I felt pretty comfortable. But last game, um, 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.400 you know, I feel like I knew the script from 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.760 top to bottom. So it's the challenge of change and 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.920 meaning going from one organization to another. You're still a 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.520 young player, long career left ahead of you. But what 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.000 is the challenge of that for us who don't really 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.920 understand all that, Um, you know, kind of finding your place. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.080 You know, you're on a whole different team. You have 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.440 to make new relationships with guys. You have to kind 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.840 of just figure out your spot on the team and 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.480 try to find a way to bring the most value 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.520 to that new team. Um, you know, I was pretty 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.400 acclimated in New England, so I kind of knew what 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.080 I was getting into going into the season, but this 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.760 time I didn't really know what was going on. I 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.080 didn't know where I would fit into the offense, also 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.360 learning a completely different offense um, so it was it 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.520 was kind of difficult at first, but, like I said, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.120 nothing that I couldn't handle. Will you be able to 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.200 help chase them? Because he's never been traded either. I 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.880 know he's got a big personality, so he's probably gonna 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.040 light up the room a little bit, But can you 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.880 help him with that in terms of maybe closing the gap. Yeah? Absolutely, 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.240 you know we'll be able to help him on the field. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:04.600 If he has any questions, we'll be able to hap 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.400 us back on that. But also as the wide receiver room, 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.760 I feel like we're very close as a group, and 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.040 you know, I feel like he'd come and fit right in. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.880 Kail Harry our guest here on Bears All Access on 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.880 Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the Score or one more 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.280 segment to go with the veteran wide Receiver first a 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.880 time out here on six seventy the Score. This portion 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.280 of Bears All Access is brought to you by CDW. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.680 People to get it learn more at CDW dot com. 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.440 Jeff Joni act tomp there along with and Kill Harry, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.000 the Bears, a veteran wide receiver getting ready to meet 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.920 the Miami Dolphins. I read you said you feel like 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.680 you have to be an enforcer in this offense because 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.760 of the run game and clearly because of your size 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.040 and your physicality that fits your game. Have you always 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:47.960 excelled in that? We touched on at early in the 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.480 segment if people are just joying to us. We did 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.560 talk on the run game. But even at Arizona State, Yeah, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.080 you know, I've been away since high school. Um, you know, 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.040 my coaches have always made sure that it's because of 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.280 my size that I do block like that and DB's 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:07.080 hate like that. Do you hear it? That's start you're 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.000 hustling you a little bit. Yeah, definitely, they don't. They 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.400 don't like it at all. So I take I take. Ah. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.560 It's just pretty fun out there to get the message 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.040 those guys. So if they're talking, are you talking? Are you? 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.239 You seem like a reserved, quiet guy, are you? Um? 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.880 It depends nine game day, It kind of depends. Yeah. Sometimes, 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.680 you know, I tend to get a little bit chippy 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.600 in there. I try not to. I try to, you know, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.840 keep it within the within the line, you know, keep 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.320 it with him. I play, But sometimes it's just too. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.200 Yeah much. You know, I don't think this coaching staff 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.960 would love it, right if you man? You know, I 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.560 brought it up to him because I do a coaching 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.680 show with them every Monday night, and I brought up Hey, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.280 you know, it's it's interesting because his teams were not 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.520 penalized very much in Indianapolis and the same as as 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.520 the case here. But this team last year had they 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.520 led the league in personal fouls, you know, like twenty 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.520 nine of them, right, and that would not fly with 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.760 coach jib flues Wooded. No. Yeah, there's there's no point 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.919 in going out there and getting penalties like that. At 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.680 the end of the day, all it does is hurt 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.720 the team. So you thought you have to kind of 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.399 compartmentalize that because there are some dbs and I'm not 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:14.879 gonna name who they are, but you kind of know 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:16.200 who they are. To get the rep in the league, 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.320 they're gonna get under your skin just to agitate you, 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.960 to create irritates you to the point and hey, what 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:22.639 did I do? I didn't do anything, but then you 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.639 know you draw the flag. That's not cool. Yeah, No, absolutely. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.879 The way I look at it is um you know, 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.920 I feel like I do that on the other end, Um, 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.040 you know, I just try to block them as hard 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.359 as I can, um, try to get a reaction. I 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.000 did it to Trayvon Diggs last year when when we 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.679 played them, Okay, a penalty out of him. So I 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.320 feel like, yeah, they could, they could try to get 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.119 under our skin, but I feel like, um, you know, 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:47.960 I could probably do it better job of getting under 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.360 their skin because of your physicality, because of what Chase 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.439 brink Coal can do the same thing. Maybe in the 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.400 red zone as well, or work in that slot. Can 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:59.359 you draw flags for these pis and so forth, because 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.960 well that is that coming with the chemistry adjustin do 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.200 a back shoulder and you know, maybe these guys get 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:05.919 tangled up and you get you get a first down 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.280 out of it. Definitely, that's I don't go out there, 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.760 you know, trying to draw. Yeah, I um, but you 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.000 know what, Yeah, yeah, we'll take it. Yeah, we'll take it. Yeah. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:16.840 Aaron Rodgers get set all the time up and there 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.080 in Green Bay, whine at us. All right, we're gonna 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.280 go back in your history a little bit, the ninth 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.720 true freshman at the time. I don't know if it's 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.600 happened again in Arizona State history. To start your season open, 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.760 you put up great numbers with the sun Devils. Pair 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.960 of one thousand yards seasons, over two hundred receptions, twenty 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.440 two touchdowns. How much fun did you have over there 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.520 in the desert. It was so much fun. You're glad 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.040 you went there. Yes, absolutely, you know being home, you know, um, 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.520 having my family be able to come and watch the games. Um, 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:48.560 you know that was a point in my career where, um, 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.919
